Yelling ‘Liberal’ In A Crowded Fire

Yitzhak Goldstein, Professor Errant

Ouch!

To be a conservative in a high school socialIST studies department is to experience what a whitetail deer does on opening day. Hunted on all sides. Only, the season never ends and there is no bag-limit. I often thought about forming an organization for conservative history teachers. We could meet together in a telephone booth. Alas, I never found a booth or another such teacher for that matter. Once viperous colleagues, dexterous with cutlery, got me “canceled”, this need seemed moot. Maybe. Still, Americans need to realize, the dearth of conservative teachers means only one side takes the field.

U.S. Government and Constitution was my forte. I was in my 17th year when, on Wednesday 27 January 2010, the principal summoned me to his office. “Close the door” he said, a bad sign. Like an attorney, he scribbled notes on a yellow legal pad during interrogations. Looking up, an angry scowl on his face, he said, “You have a reputation for being a conservative, a problem that has persisted for years. It is the number one topic among staff. They complain to me about what you teach and your bias”. A parent said her special education son never did well with conservative teachers and wanted him transferred from my government class.1 Stunned, I asked when conservativism became a crime. If simply being a conservative was controversial, it demonstrated who was really biased. He was not amused. His eyes went from blue to purple meaning he was furious. “No, you’re the problem” he yelled at me. “You’re the only one I receive complaints about for bias”!

I explained government courses by nature are political. Controversial issues are bound to arise. Because I was the only Constitutional Originalist among the four teaching it, naturally I stood out. Second, I was not the only one receiving parent complaints (if his claim was even true. He was famous for telling teachers unnamed parents complained about them). Each semester parents confided in me objections to the liberal and anti-Christian bias of their kid’s teachers. I witnessed this including those trashing students out behind their backs because their dad was a pastor. I asked these parents to speak up but they declined. Each worried the district would label them “troublemakers”. Worse, they feared liberal teachers would retaliate against their kids. I told the principal I spoke with another teacher who shared my experiences not revealing it was Tim Latham, fired by the Lawrence, Kansas school district for being a conservative (it made national news).2 In addition, liberal colleagues mocked me by name (students told me) in front of their classes. They spread gossip and false stories about me. Nor did I mention the secret journal in which I recorded names, places, and dates of liberal bias and persecution. The principal laughed in my face saying none of what I said was true. I was a liar. I was the problem and cause of controversy in the school. I protested this was not true but he insisted I was making up everything I said. He even claimed there was no liberal bias among colleagues. I was the only one using the classroom to push my views. He could not have been more wrong.3

Because he judged me guilty (of doing what my accusers actually did), from that day forward, I was to turn in weekly lesson plans along with copies of every article, handout, homework assignment, quiz, and test I used so he could scour them for bias. I noted, absent the same requirement for liberal teachers, this amounted to a double standard. He said they did not use biased materials in their classes. “The one’s teaching out of Time, Newsweek, and Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth certainly are”, I replied. I added basing his requirement purely on my being a conservative constituted a degree of harassment and even persecution. He was about blow his stack. He claimed many (I believe the term was “parade”) of teachers had come to him wanting to know why he had not disciplined or fired me yet. I demanded to know the names of my accusers. His response was sardonic laughter. He refused to divulge their names adding, with a mocking sneer, “You’d really be surprised if you knew who some of them were”. I insisted it was unfair to demand I answer accusations of anonymous people. He said in a slow drawn out sentence, “You will never know who they are”. Because these teachers did not want their names public, he could not institute formal proceedings however, he was commencing an investigation of me for bias. Dismissed. As I reached the door, he said, “This is not over. We’re not through yet”.4

Somehow, word got out I was on the hot seat. Colleagues called me “toxic” and “radioactive”. They refused to sit near me at faculty meetings, (where I had all 11 seats in the row to myself) in-service training, department meetings, and school sponsored lunches and dinners…for the next six years. Teachers were required to stand in hallways during passing periods monitoring student behavior. When the principal and assistant principals walked by, colleagues said it would be a good career move to be seen slamming me into a wall or knocking me down steps. Word of my troubles “spread” to students. Several revealed they had been involved in debates with liberal teachers over the Constitution. When asked the source of their information, they said I was. Oh brother.

In April my liberal socialIST studies department supervisor revealed I was no longer teaching U.S. Government or Advanced Studies American History. I was demoted. I asked why. She repeated the same pabulum; unnamed parents and colleagues complained about my conservative bias. She refused to share what the principal told her. Even though I was the only history teacher in three high and three junior high schools with a Masters’ degree and published thesis in history, they demoted me to the least desirable courses. A week later, a guidance counselor and an art teacher told me they heard rumors I was being fired. Diabetic, stress played havoc with my blood glucose and heart. My students also said they heard the principal was firing me. The stress was almost unbearable. A custodian I knew warned that history teachers in the other building were “flaming liberals” and hated me. He became involved in a political debate with them, mentioned Rush Limbaugh, and they were furious. My supervisor warned they were “evaluating” him. The principal transferred him to another building. Later that day, a socialIST studies colleague said he too heard the principal was firing me. His students knew this as well. By Friday, I was having chest pains and difficulty breathing. A student walking into my class and said, “Mr. G, what are you doing here? I heard you were dead” I laughed my head off.

Aware for years Lefty colleagues were spying on and trying to cancel me, my self-defense strategy was to use primary source materials, e.g. the Declaration and Federalist Papers in government classes. I was golden, untouchable. I was wrong. Teaching the Constitution from the perspective of those who wrote and ratified it constituted unacceptable bias and got me booted. Worse, I had developed the nefarious practice of examining self-validating political clichés to test their validity. This sparked interested discussion among students. Chief among them was, because one cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater First Amendment rights are not absolute. Therefore, it is up to those in power to determine the “limits” to what people may say, write, and publish. If government may “limit” one right, why not others? Can there be any doubt as to where this will lead?

The Career Suicide Gang

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ongoing Tales of the CSG (Career Suicide Gang)5

Nancy Pelosi,6 whose visage evokes images of dark cobweb, choked ancient castles where Dracula reposes, recently used the old “fire in a crowded theater” cliché in support of Beijing Biden’s plan to confiscate from Americans various classes of firearms.7 In a 2017 interview, Pelosi first repeated the hackneyed cliché that no right was absolute because you cannot yell “wolf in a crowded theater”.8 In her dotage, we can forgive a misquotation but not Constitutional ignorance. Pelosi wrote a letter to the ‘National’9 (sic) Park Service demanding they not grant a permit to “alt-right” group, Patriot Prayer, to hold a demonstration. A journalist asked Pelosi, whether her request infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights. She answered, “The Constitution does not say that a person can yell wolf in a crowded theater” adding no one has a right to say anything that would endanger others.10 Unfamiliar with this “alt-right”, I read Michael Malice’s book on the subject. I concluded they are comprised of Leftwing capitalists, Rightwing socialists, and anarchists. I came away more confused than ever.11 I never heard of Patriot’s Prayer. Liberal online sites label them racists and “white nationalists”. However, their webpage denounces racism and violence. It concedes such groups show up at their rallies along with violent goon squads from Communist Pantifa chapters but they have no control over this.

If Pelosi knows anything about the Constitution, she keeps this knowledge a secret. The Constitution recognizes, not grants rights. It is a restraining order against government infringing on the rights of individuals. Because rights are G-d given, they preexist all governments. Those rejecting divine origin nevertheless insist rights are part of one’s humanity. People create and construct government solely to protect these rights. The subordinate cannot modify the supremacy of the superior. Government has no authority to regulate free speech nor may it deny a group access to the public square because it finds its speech objectionable. Police authorities are “required to protect liberty” as much as they are people. Pelosi mangled a phrase uttered by Chief Justice of the United States, Oliver Wendell Holmes at the conclusion of Schenck v. U.S. (1919). In support of the Court’s 9-0 vote to suppress a man’s free speech, Holmes quipped that the First Amendment did not protect anyone who “falsely” shouted “fire in a theater causing panic”. Schenck was such a bad ruling even Holmes came to regret it. The Court overturned it in Bradenburg v. Ohio, 395, U.S. 1969. The Court held that under the First Amendment, an individual could, “advocate violence even in front of an armed crowd” as long as the speech was not intentionally planned to result in immediate acts of violence. Yet Pelosi reprises a quip from a discredited case.12

What did Schenck say that was so terrible? It was 1917 and President Wilson had just taken the U.S. into Europe’s Great War. Wilson worked feverishly to suppress criticism of his decision. Schenck, Secretary of the Socialist Party, USA, published and distributed a pamphlet arguing conscription was unconstitutional. Wilson, a ‘Progressive’, arrested and prosecuted Schenck under the Espionage Act of 1917. Schenck appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, which ruled against him. Holmes’ made his comment about shouting fire in a theater after the Court’s decision. It was unrelated to the facts of the case. It was not part of the ruling and had “no binding authority”. Today, those who deny any right is absolute use Holmes’ quip to justify intentions to violate that right.13 Denial of a right being absolute of necessity requires someone to determine the limits of that right. Naturally, that “someone” is government. To employ Holmes’ rationale for denial of a right creates an open-ended justification to impose any number of restrictions on the exercise of that right.

What purveyors of the yelling fire cliché miss is the real standard established by Holmes. He declared government could suppress free speech if it determined that speech posed a “clear and present danger” to the government’s effort to prosecute the war.14 His standard assigns government the power to create its own test for what constitutes a clear and present danger. If governments, at all levels couple this “authority” with declarations of states of emergency, from tornadoes to a virus, the threat to the Bill of Rights becomes particularly dangerous. Liberals use Pelosi’s adaptation, “one cannot yell rats on a Black Friday sale in Saks Fifth Avenue”, and Holmes’ clear and present danger test to promote a political agenda having nothing to do with the First Amendment. They use it as a rationale to suppress Second Amendment rights.

If enemies of individual liberty convince Americans Holmes’ comment carries the weight of law, “proving” no right is absolute, what follows? They will use it to restrict targeted rights, incrementally, e.g. Second and First Amendment rights to bear arms, religious expression, and free speech, respectively, ultimately to extinguish them.

A union worker approached Joe “Boss Tweed” Obiden who was touring an automotive plant in Detroit, Michigan accusing him of wanting to take away people’s guns. OBiden flared up in anger and told the worker he was full of s#*t, that he supported the Second Amendment, but he would take away “AR14s (sic). OBiden declared no right was absolute. No one can yell fire in a crowded theater. He also threatened to slap the worker.15 To prove he supports the Second Amendment, OBiden stated he and his sons own “shotguns” and “hunt”.16 OBiden evinces little knowledge of firearms. Growing up in Maryland, I heard his campaign ads, including on gun control, from nearby Delaware. The words, ‘blithering idiot’ come to mind. This is how OBiden and other Liberals read the Second Amendment:

The people, following submission to an extensive and expensive federal

background check, training, and testing, proving a need to own a firearm

may purchase one from a government approved list for hunting and target

shooting at approved ranges. They must register it with the government

and reapply for approval on an annual basis. All semiautomatic rifles and

handguns are military weapons, the property of the U.S. government and

must be surrendered to the nearest arsenal”.

Nick Leghorn notes gun control advocates “invariably” recite the Holmes’ cliché to “prove” no right is absolute therefore they can limit the types of firearms citizens may possess. Holmes based his free speech exception on an emergency; government does not have to tolerate as much free speech in wartime as in peace.17 Holmes was wrong on every count. The Constitution is over and above the government. The subordinate cannot alter this relationship. The Constitution provides no exceptions or escape clause for government to violate the Bill of Rights. Those who argue to the contrary are setting the stage for intended violation of rights based on some conjured up exigency. Leghorn follows this argument to its logical conclusion.

Yelling fire in a theater when there was none would be illegal. However, if there was a fire, or a pack of Pelosi’s wolves running loose, it would not. If mere possession of a human voice does not constitute a clear and present danger, neither does mere possession of a firearm. Government may not regulate the ability to speak prior to criminal misuse. The same holds true for firearms. Mere possession of an AR15 poses no greater potential threat of criminal misuse than OBiden’s shotgun. For the government to apply the Schenck standard to restrict gun ownership, it would have to prove all people purchasing guns do so with the immediate intention to harm someone. This standard is even more problematic considering most purchases are for self-defense. Buying a firearm does not automatically cause harm to anyone. Arguments based on the potential for future harm are hypocritical otherwise gun-Confiscationists would ban the more lethal automobile. At best, banning an AR15 would do nothing with respect to reducing crime (their misuse being miniscule), and, at worst, would infringe on an individual’s ability to protect himself. According to the Declaration, the right to life is, absolute. For an individual to illegally shoot an innocent person violates the latter’s absolute right to life. Sanctions should be on individuals, not the means.18 Nevertheless, the Pelosi’s and Schumer’s of the world stamp their feet insisting no right is absolute so the state has the power to restrict rights.

Thomas Jefferson described rights as “unalienable” meaning under no circumstances could government or anyone else separate people from them. Because rights are endowed by G-d, they exist prior to and apart from government. They are inherent in one’s humanity.19 Because of their inherency, if one person has a right, all do. For a right to be a right, the “exercise of the identical right at the same time” by more than one individual does nothing to compromise its exercise by anyone else. If government can alter or rescind a right, it never was a right. It was a privilege.20 The Constitution contains no ‘Bill of Privileges’. An individual’s exercise of free speech, religion, and association does nothing to limit the same exercise by others. If someone is giving a speech or preaching a sermon, no one is compelled to visit that venue and listen. The same holds true for firearms. Individual possession of a firearm does not deny the same right or pose a threat to anyone else.21 How can proponents of using the yelling fire standard to limit rights define where limitations would end? They cannot. Instead, they would establish an arbitrary standard. Because their plan is to limit targeted rights, that standard is already contaminated. It is beholden to an agenda seeking to abolish that right. Thus, we can see, the yelling fire position is invalid. Perhaps we should prohibit yelling liberal in a crowded fire as it might provoke a search for more gasoline.

11 From my contemporaneous Journal, names included January 27 2010. The student was in what used to be called the Learning Disabled Program (LD) changed simply to Special Education. I was one teacher selected for a push to “mainstream” Sped Kids in regular classes. In the end, he did not transfer from my class, did well, and said he like the class and me.

22 Joshua Rhett Miller, “Kansas Teacher Claims Conservative Views Led to Job Loss”, FOX NEWS, June 12, 2009 at https://www.foxnews.com/story/kansas-teacher-claims-conservative-views-led-to-loss-of-job/. I communicated with Tim by email at first and then by phone. Not only did he lose his job, his Lawrence Kansas District blacklisted him to make sure he never could work as a teacher again. I cannot prove the powers that be are doing the same to me but…

33 The principal operated under a popular business model. Bosses, managers, principals, etc. bring in the accused and confront them with charges. Regardless of the validity or veracity of the charges, the accused is supposed to supplicate themselves, confess to their crimes, admit total guilt, and beg forgiveness. The boss then guides them back onto the right path meaning becoming a total “yes-man”. I read this in one of the books they assigned teachers to read. They told us to skip a chapter in the book and of course, I read it. I also witnessed this. A math teacher, who I had never met, came to me in anger. Why me? Everyone had told him I was the principal’s favorite “whipping boy” and he was to stay far away from me. He was a math teacher, who was butting heads with the principal and wanted my advice. I told him to shut up, stop talking about the principal, stop confiding in other people, and to trust no one. He chose another path. He became a supplicant and allowed the principal to reform him. Once completed, he would not give me the time of day. I was in the right, the target of a malicious campaign by the Turnip Witches to get me fired, so I refused to play the game. I learned how vindictive the principal was.

44 IBID. At the risk of sounding cliché, the account was worse than space allows me to express. Much worse.

55 CSG: “Career Suicide Gang” is a label invented by my final socialIST studies department supervisor when he saw me standing in the hallway talking to CC, also in the principal’s hot seat but nowhere near my level of revulsion and hatred shared by the principal and his stooge minions. It was his way of warning other teachers never to associate with people like us.

As Ever Was

I listened to a couple of interesting radio shows today on Israel Newstalk radio while I was working outside. One of them was Political Hitman, and the topic was the 25th anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The other was The Jay Shapiro show, and his topic was The American Election and Israel.

Both of them dovetail with the dumpster fire we are seeing on a daily basis. The left is fast accelerating from #AspiringTyrants to #Tyrants. They no longer feel they need to hide their agenda and their plans for America. I don’t know if I was ever naive enough to think that the left wanted what was best for America, they just thought there was a different path to achieve it. They don’t want that, they want to destroy her. At the root of their belief system is communism. Communism where everyone is equal. In misery. They all have the same, deprivation, misery and pain. Except of course, the ones at the top, they dine very nicely on the suffering of others. The enabling people always seem to think they will somehow be at the top of the food chain. I guess that’s why they’re called useful idiots.

Then we hear that Venezuela or Cuba, or Russia, or or or didn’t do “socialism” right, or they don’t want that kind of “socialism”. I’ve got a newsflash, there is no “right” and it’s only socialism until the populace is completely defenseless. Then like the biden harris harris biden administration, the mask comes off. You see it’s a very predictable result. And this is from 2006, so it’s higher by now.

Communist body count by country.

The military wing of the party of the left, they aren’t democrats anymore, the BLM movement and antifa are beginning to make their demands known to the new communist regime that is currently pretending they’re coming to power. I’m praying they go down in flames. BLM founder calls for Biden to sign radical legislation to ‘abandon police, prisons, and punishment paradigms’

The BREATHE Act demands the dismantling of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and immigration detention centers….

would create a commission to study reparations proposals for African Americans, based on “mass criminalization – including the War on Drugs, the criminalization of prostitution, and police violence; border violence; and the systemic violation of the U.S. Government’s treaty obligations to Tribal nations.”….

The legislation calls for the removal of all police, school resource officers, and armed security from schools, plus the metal detectors and surveillance equipment would be banned.

Public school systems would be required to develop curricula that examines “the political, economic, and social impacts of colonialism, genocide against indigenous people, and slavery.”

No mention was made if there will be time for math, science or English classes. Maybe they will be electives.

But one of the most disturbing things I am seeing is the willingness of ordinary people to justify using fear, threats, intimidation and violence to attack people that love America but have a different opinion of politics. I would say they have a different moral compass. Actually, I would say they have a moral compass. Full stop. It’s full on gaslighting.

I find history fascinating. I referenced a Political Hitman episode earlier in this column. In this episode he talked about the Altalena, the ship that was bringing arms and new immigrants to Israel to fight in the battle for Independence. The Irgun had done a campaign in Europe to raise funds and buy arms to fight and the desperately needed supplies were coming in on the ship. Menachem Begin was head of the Irgun, and he was right wing.

David Ben Gurion and Yitzhak Rabin were left wing. They ordered the Altalena attacked. I’ve done a column with more details on that here. But the point Howie was making in the podcast is the left was willing to destroy the arms and ammunition that would win the war for the Jews and secure their homeland in order that the right not be in control of the government of Israel. Including firing on Jews in the water as they jumped from the burning vessel.

They did not succeed in killing Menachem Begin that day, and he called off the fight in order that the country shouldn’t be destroyed. He later became prime minister.

There is little if anything to admire about the left. It’s about power and control, of government, of people.

Menachem Begin faced off with Joe Biden once (at least) on June 22, 1982. There used to be video of this, but I can’t find it now. Go figure. But here was his reply to Hidin’ Biden.

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Senator Biden reportedly banged the table with his fist, and Begin retorted,

“This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don’t threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.”

If we let the left succeed, we will not recognize America very shortly I’m afraid. The left is about power and control and the people that seem to choose it’s path like to hurt things. People, businesses, religion. So many of them lack information to make wise, informed choices and form honest opinions because the media has abandoned their duty. They are all in now with trying to control people by denying them accurate information and feeding them false information in an attempt to control them and the outcome of events.

As ever it was.

GOP-RIP

As our nation is held hostage by a cabal of corrupt demoncratic operatives a few things come to mind.

The media is attempting their cherry on top coup. For years they’ve pushed their Russian collusion farce when it was Hillary that colluded. Fox news has come out of the closet as cnn light. In fact I’ve heard folks switched over to cnn on election night from Fox because it was LESS biased. But now the media is pushing the lie of President Elect Biden. They have no interest in truth, only in agendas.

So the mainstream media with a couple of exceptions have gone into the (septic) tank, and nobody even had to put a gun to their heads. Judas Goats

Tons of stories of vote fraud in various and sundry forms abound.

What I find interesting is the GOP gained seats in the house and held the senate. Yet President Trump would lose? Very odd indeed. Now, I’m not good at statistics, but I found a really interesting column by someone who says he is a retired accountant, and he did audits. This column is fascinating, yes there are some naughty words, but the column is still well worth reading. He lists the number and types of “red flags” as being indicators of fraud.

THE 2020 ELECTION: FOOLERY IS AFOOT

I’ve heard politicians and radio hosts talk about that even if the demoncrats steal this election we’ve held the senate and in January the two senate seats in Georgia that are facing a run-off election will stay Republican.

Are you kidding me??? If, and I say IF the demoncrats pull off this level of corruption in the voting system, no republican will ever win an election again unless it’s some tame puppet like Mitt Romney. It would do Republicans good to remember all those parades taking place this year were waving TRUMP flags and banners, not pictures of elephants or REPUBLICAN…

Now I understand why demoncrats did all those sound bites about President Trump accepting the results of the election and having to drag him out of the White House. It was just to set up the notion in people’s minds. Just like FakeBook and Twatter started yammering on about how it’s normal for elections to take month. They lay out their scenario and the media pushes the facts into the mold.

I saw a line in one of the columns I was reading for this article/rant.

And this is why Trump isn’t going anywhere. The Deplorables now have to become The Ungovernables. No more negotiations, discussions, turning the other cheek, etc.

Ungovernable. Just say no to Commies.

I’d say The Deplorables are The Wolverines.

Knives In Black Satin

Following the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the spectacle of Republicans and conservatives in a wild stampede to give her a tongue bath was appalling. Praise from self-proclaimed guardians of Constitutional Originalism was so lavish and extravagant it amounted to nothing less than deification. Had Ginsburg not been Jewish, I half expected the Pope to announce her canonization.

Martha MacCallum breathlessly described Ginsburg like a rapturous teen at the airport awaiting the Beatles arrival in America. Her face glowed as she praised Ginsburg’s towering intellect, great legal mind, inspiration to all women, and lamented Ginsburg being irreplaceable.1 MacCallum was far from alone slathering promiscuous adulation on this stalwart foe of the Constitution and its Judeo-Christian underpinnings. Effusive praise for Ginsburg came from Jeanna Ellis on the Tucker Carlson Show. Chyrons running under her face declared her a constitutional “authority”. An online bio states she is author of The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution: A Guide for Christians to Understand America’s Constitutional Crisis, that she is a Constitutional “Originalist”, and senior legal advisor to President Trump. Nevertheless, she declared Americans must respect Ginsburg’s service and legacy. She added Ginsburg was an inspiration to all women.2 Why was she, and not Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court (appointed by President Reagan in 1981, 12 years before Ginsburg) an inspiration to women? How a self-proclaimed “Originalist” and author of a book on America’s Constitutional crisis can heap such praise on a chief architect of this crisis is incomprehensible. Also appearing on Tucker’s show was conservative Judge Jeanine Pirro. She praised Ginsburg’s unconstitutional ruling against the Virginia Military Institute’s establishment as an all-male military academy.3

This strange outpouring of praise and worship for Ginsburg erupted on conservative Sean Hannity’s program so I flipped over to One America News until Laura Ingraham’s Show. I should have remained with OAN. Her guests included Constitutional “scholar” John Eastman (Chapman University) who asserted Americans should thank Ginsburg for her lasting work with respect to equality and social issues (those near and dear to liberal hearts: abortion and the homosexual agenda).4 Republicans continued to weigh in throughout the evening. George W. Bush, Mitch McConnell, and former Congressman Jason Chaffetz were almost unrestrained in their praise for Ginsburg. A guest on one of these shows allowed that Ginsburg was up in heaven now, hanging out with former colleagues William Rehnquist, and Antonin Scalia. How fortunate I am to have a strong stomach. Appalled, I turned the television off. Conservative online groups were no better. I read in disbelief as one “conservative” after another stated we all must respect and admire Ginsburg for her work and “service” to her country. Service? Service to the ongoing campaign to destroy the U.S. Constitution? Disgusted, I logged off and retreated into the mundane world of email. There I found a message from the Trump Re-election campaign declaring Ginsburg an “amazing woman” who led “an amazing life”. I responded asking what was so amazing about a career dedicated to destroying the Constitution and liberty. I received no reply. After beholding what so many Republican “leaders” had to say, who could be faulted for believing it was Ronald Reagan who had just died?

Lavish and effusive praise by Republicans for Ginsburg begs the question, if she is “all that”, why don’t they simply nominate another radical left-wing ACLU lawyer, who also despises the Constitution, instead of casting about for a conservative replacement? If Ginsburg was so wonderful, why don’t Republicans appoint some Stepford liberal to replace her?

Callers to conservative talk radio the following day commented on this stunning spectacle of Republican praise for Ginsburg. Some allowed that perhaps they were being overly “nice” to win political points. Really. With whom? With Constitutional originalists like myself? No way. We despise treason against the Constitution. Praise for those who want to destroy Judeo-Christian values and all that people of faith hold dear is repulsive. Points with liberals? It will never happen. If you are a conservative, the Left hates you. They are waging war against you. They despise every belief, principle, and value you hold dear. The lesson people should have learned from the Bolshevik Revolution is the left is dedicated to your total destruction and subjugation. Another reason no one mentioned comes to mind. Is it possible the Republican establishment worships the same institutions and organs of government power as Democrats? Do they fear criticism of Ginsburg might undermine support and obedience among Americans to the Supreme Court? Could criticism of Ginsburg spur Americans to ask on what basis the Court wields the power of judicial review and find there is none? Moreover, if Americans discover this truth, will they then look at the other branches and ask if what they are doing is constitutional? If Americans discover what public schools do not teach, that the actions and claimed powers of the three branches does not comport with the Constitution, how will they react? Will they try to take government back from their overseers? What does Ginsburg’s record, prior to and during her tenure on the bench, reveal?

In 1980, President Carter appointed Ginsburg to the D.C. Circuit Appeals Court. President Clinton then elevated her to the Supreme Court in 1993. Prior to these appointments, Ginsburg was a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. She rejected the notion rights come from G-d, rejected the principles of federalism and limited government, the Tenth Amendment sovereignty of states in their political spheres, and she rejected traditional Western Judeo-Christian values. Throughout her lifetime, her views never moderated.

From the start, America’s lawgivers grounded cultural, social, familial, and legal distinctions between the sexes (men and women for liberals) in the Law of G-d. Because Ginsburg despised a world based on a patriarchal G-d, her agenda was to remake America into a nation sterilized of sex distinctions. With government force, she sought to dismantle all single-sex institutions, organizations, and clubs including the military, prisons, fraternities, the Boy Scouts, private colleges, and so forth. She even pushed to abolish Mother’s and Father’s Day holidays but that was not enough. Ginsburg opposed laws against bigamy and polygamy because statutory regulation criminalizes these behaviors based on the sex of those involved. Naturally, her radical views applied to prohibitions against prostitution and same-sex “marriage” (sic) which she sought to overturn. To the delight of pervo child molesters, sodomites running down little Cub Scouts, and sex-slave traffickers, Ginsburg pushed to reduce “the age of consent for sexual acts to people who are less than 12 years”. She even argued for overturning the Mann Act which criminalized the “interstate trafficking of women and girls” for the purposes of engaging in sex acts because it violated the “privacy rights” of those involved.5 The authors of the Mann act sought not only to stop the transportation of women, especially young girls, across state lines for prostitution, but also to put a dent in the kidnapping of young girls for such purposes.

It should come, as no surprise Ginsburg abhorred the traditional family in which the man went to work and mom stayed at home to raise the kids. In order to undermine the role of husbands, as a step toward dismantling the Judeo-Christian family, Ginsburg pushed government [taxpayer] supported daycare for unwed mothers. She did not stop there. In her brave new world, not only would women be subject to the military draft but would be billeted with men and sent with them into combat. Ginsburg pushed affirmative action hiring and promotion rules for the military, police and fire departments, public education, and private businesses. Facing federal scrutiny if failing to meet affirmative action “targets”, companies, and organizations calculated the minimum number (quota) of minorities they needed to hire and promote to avoid government sanctions. This led to qualified candidates being passed over, by the less competent, in order to satisfy quotas, especially within police departments. I saw this first hand.6 Nevertheless, this was still not enough. Robespierre Ginsburg pushed to create federal commissioners who would ride through the bowels of government offices in search of people and publications using “sexist” words and expressions. They would scrub these offending words from documents and the mouths of employees. Transgressors would be re-educated. Next, they would fan out across the nation, storming businesses, schools, churches, and maybe homes in search of banned “sexist” terms. Offensive words included, woman, women, she, her, man, men, he, him, and many more. They would root out any word based on a person’s sex (gender refers to the femininity or masculinity of nouns) like noxious weeds and burn them so that no memory of their existence remained. Ginsburg’s Commissars of conformity began to realign pay scales associated with genitalia, for example, librarians versus those operating jackhammers to “equalize” them. Angry liberal feminist harridans, their hair pulled back into severe buns call this “comparable worth”, equal pay for unequal work. They scoured all publications for the slightest reference to an individual’s sex and removed them. Anyone who has read 1984 understands control of what people read and know is central to Orwell’s novel. Ginsburg also supported abortion on demand, for any reason, throughout each trimester paid for by taxpayers including those opposed to child murder based on religious objections.7

In 1996, Ginsburg voted with the majority (Scalia dissented) to strike down the elite Virginia Military Institute’s male only admission policy. Not only did this comport with Ginsburg’s fanatical drive to destroy any organization based on sex, she also saw VMI’s policy as a roadblock to female advancement in the military. Does the federal government have the right to interfere in the education policies of the States? We shall look at that soon. In 2000, Ginsburg again voted with the majority in Friends of the Earth (sic) v. Laidlaw Environmental Services. Ginsburg ruled individuals have a right to sue companies for pollution even if the claimants can prove no harm and the company is out of business.8 This is akin to a patient suing a doctor following surgery even though they can demonstrate no harm. Had Ginsburg’s opinion been that of the majority instead of the minority in Bush v. Gore (2000), Democrats would have succeeded in stealing another presidential election [John F. Kennedy, 1960] and Gore would have been president. In Gonzales v. Carhart (2007), Ginsburg sided with the minority arguing against any limits on late term (including live birth) abortions. She again sided with the liberals in Shelby County v. Holder (2013), wanting the Supreme Court to control, supervise, and set election policies and practices for Southern States, forever. Does the Supreme Court have such authority? In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014), Ginsburg again sided with the radical liberal minority seeking to force Christian owned companies to provide abortion coverage in employee medical plans even though this violated their deeply held Christian beliefs.9 Ginsburg argued the government’s “need” to reorder the nature of society superseded anyone’s First Amendment religious rights. Ginsburg voted with the majority, (5-4) in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) legalizing same-sex “marriage” (sic). Torturing history and the Constitution, the majority claimed the 14th Amendment, ratified to insure Constitutional rights applied to former slaves, actually meant homosexuals, and lesbians could “marry” each other, respectively.10 Alito, Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas, writing for the dissent, correctly noted the Constitution delegates no authority to the federal government, and therefore the courts, over marriage. Under the Tenth Amendment, what constitutes marriage is a state issue. Therefore, the Court had no jurisdiction to rule one way or the other.

If Ginsburg had no respect for religious freedom, and the Tenth Amendment, let alone human life, what then was her view on the right of self-defense? In Heller v. D.C. (2008), she and the liberals wrote the Constitution does not guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms. There is only a collective, not an individual right. A person may exercise this collective “right” only while serving in the military or a State National (sic) Guard. She also agreed with Justice Breyer that no one had the right, under any circumstance, to maintain a loaded weapon in their home. Nor did anyone have a right of self-defense.11 Through a 5-4 vote, had Ginsburg and the other Knives in Black Satin been the majority, they would have eviscerated and ultimately abolished the Second Amendment. Once a government hostile to the bill of rights is in power, they will extinguish your right to keep and bear arms. They would ban the manufacture, importation, and sale of firearms in the United States followed by banning the production and sale of ammunition. If you do not have a right to own firearms, you have no need for ammunition. Next, they would close gun stores and ranges. You do not need a place to buy and or practice with what you may not own. Denials to the contrary, confiscation of all firearms in private hands has always been the left’s end game. England, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada testify to this fact. As for burying and hiding firearms, what is the point? By then it is too late. You will never be able to keep and bear them again. Ever. Republicans and conservatives lavishing praise on Ginsburg mentioned none of this. Nor did anyone ask if the Court has the right of judicial review in the first place.

Each State sent delegates to what became the Constitutional Convention meeting in Philadelphia (1787). Jealous of their fresh won independence from Britain (1783), the Founding Fathers were not about to surrender sovereignty to a new never before tried form of government. Proposals made by delegates to subordinate state executives, legislatures, and courts to federal counterparts were voted down by the majority each time. This is even more remarkable considering many opposed to scrapping the Articles of Confederation refused to attend the Convention.12 The Constitution’s drafters created the U.S. Supreme Court as the final court of appeal with respect to federal law, disputes between state governments, and between people of different states in some cases. They did not delegate to it any authority to make, modify, or alter law, amend the Constitution in any way, create, or abolish rights. So-called “Federalists” (more accurately, “nationalists”), saw creating for the court a power of judicial review over state laws as a means to erode and ultimately annihilate Tenth Amendment state sovereignty.13 Those mislabeled “anti-federalists” by “federalists” opposed them every step of the way.

Convention delegate Edmund Randolph of Virginia proposed creating a national judiciary with authority to veto the laws and rulings made by State legislatures and courts, respectively. This would be similar to the English Parliamentary system Alexander Hamilton and his supporters cherished. The majority of delegates voted down Randolph’s proposal. Charles Pinckney, South Carolina, and Gouveneur Morris, Pennsylvania, followed up with similar proposals and delegates rejected them as well. Randolph did not give up and attempted to convince delegates to accept a revised version of his proposal but it too was defeated.14 The States never gave to the federal Court, the power of judicial review. Proponents of ratification promised delegates to each state convention the court would never exercise such power.15

It was Chief Justice John Marshall, an ardent nationalist and opponent of state sovereignty, appointed by President John Adams, who got the ball rolling. He simply invented for the Supreme Court a power of judicial review. He began by seizing cases beyond the purview of the court. It did not matter how it ruled, only that the court ruled in order to create precedent. Beginning with Marbury v. Madison, 1803, each case was a step toward establishing by the court, through practice and custom, the power of judicial review. This was unconstitutional because the Founders did not delegate but denied this power to the Court. Federal branches may exercise only delegated powers. Second, it constituted a violation of Article V reserving to the states sole authority to amend the Constitution. Third, and finally, it constituted a violation of the Tenth Amendment reserving all powers not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the states. Hence, sovereign State powers and functions falling within its political sphere are outside the jurisdiction and purview of federal courts. Marshall wanted to destroy those reserved powers by denaturing the Tenth Amendment. He referred to Thomas Jefferson and the Republican Party as “absolute terrorists”. Marshall ran full steam ahead, working with other nationalists, to transform the federal into a national system of government with the states as mere corporations of the general government.16

Although Jefferson and subsequent presidents rejected the notion the Supreme Court possessed the power of judicial review, in time future presidents and political parties came to see this as a tool to enhance executive power and overcome state resistance to their agendas.17 Chief among the Constitution destroying culprits was Franklin Roosevelt.18 Over time, Americans stopped questioning the Court’s claim to the power of judicial review. They assumed the court must have this power because, after all, they exercised it. This is known as “circulus in probando”, circular reasoning. Because the court exercises judicial review, it must have the power to do so. However, they are wrong. Granted, in post-Constitutional and post-literate America, its citizens are ignorant of what powers States delegated to the federal government and too lazy to care. In addition, profligate federal largesse to States led them to prostitute their Tenth Amendment protection against unconstitutional judicial review. Even if the Supreme Court had this power, it would only apply to the enumerated powers in Article I, Section 8. The Founders created a limited government whose powers are few and clearly defined. The Constitution prohibits the exercise of any power not specifically delegated to the federal government in the enumerated powers.19 Americans appear unaware of this. Great Scott, did they go to public schools?

The States delegated to the federal government eighteen powers in Article I, Section 8. An examination reveals most have to do with foreign relations and war. There is no mention of education, marriage, abortion, firearms, the make-up of the military, clubs, colleges, organizations, the freedom of association, and so forth based on sex or any other criteria.20 Silence in any area means, the federal government has no authority to legislate and the Supreme Court review in those areas. None. Every ruling by the Supreme Court that disregards the Tenth Amendment and the States’ reserved powers does violence to the Constitution and any safeguard with respect to the Bill of Rights. It destroys federalism, the rule of law, and creates a chaotic free-for-all scramble by various factions to gain control of it by any means possible. Now Republicans from Senator Mitch McConnell on down are stressing the need to replace Ginsburg with a jurist who will protect the Constitution. Really? When the Senate was considering the nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the following Republican Senators voted yea:

Bond MO, Danforth MO, Hatfield OR, Pressler SD,

Brown CO, Dole KS Hutchinson TX, Roth DE,

Burns MT, Domenici NM, Kassebaum KS, Simpson WY,

Chafee RI, Durenberger MN, Lott MS, Specter PA,

Coats IN, Faircloth MN, Lugar IN, Stevens AK,

Cochran MS, Gorton WA, Mack FL, Thurmond SC,

Cohen ME, Gramm TX, McCain AZ, Wallop WY,

Coverdell GA, Grassley IA, McConnell KY, Warner VA.

Craig ID, Gregg NH, Murkowski AK,

D’Amato NY, Hatch UT, Packwood OR,

Nay: only the following three Republicans stood up for the Constitution:

Helms NC, Nickles OK, Smith NH.

Living in Missouri, I wrote Republican Senator Bond asking why he voted to confirm Ginsburg. He explained it was Senatorial “courtesy” not to oppose Court nominations of presidents regardless of party. I wrote back asking, what about courtesy to the rule of law, to the Constitution, and to the American people? He did not respond. Americans elect Senators to protect the Constitution, and they, in turn, stab them in the back in the name of logrolling. What a disgrace. We must hold them to account for their perfidy.

Feeling Sociable?

Ok, that’s a fib, I’m not that sociable most of the time. Not necessarily because I don’t want to be, but because I have a lot to keep up with, lots that needs to be done. But something I try to do almost daily, except for Shabbat, is post stories to the Zelman Partisans accounts on Twitter, Gab, MeWe and Facebook. I post stories of courts cases, gun rights related, self-defense as well as our TZP original and exclusive stories. How about that White Paper Bear was asked to write? Is he amazing or what?

Social media allows family and friends to stay in touch, it allows old friends to re-gain contact, and it allows for the flow of information. Allowed.

There were rumblings after the last election that “Russian Bots” were spreading “mis-information”. The President Trump made the phrase “Fake News” a household word. And like most things the left touches, it perverted that. The big social media platforms have begun to censor conservative voices claiming they are “fact-checking” because of fake news.

I’ve shared stories on fb only to find they now sport a banner below them, or a fuzzy overlay saying that they aren’t accurate, so if my friends or family want to read them theywill know I’m spreading fake news per facebook’s totally, unbiased fact checkers. No, really they are unbiased. Just ask Zuckerberg. Recently TZP was locked out of our Twitter account because of a story on TZP about Kyle Rittenhouse. They said it violated their community standards. Yep, the mullahs of Iran have their account intact, Hamass has their account intact, heck Abu Mazan probably has his account intact. We know BLM and Antifa (the idea that decimates stores and neighborhoods) have theirs intact. The GoFund me for Kyle was removed, and the big tech companies did everything they could to block support for the brave 17 year old. Kamala Harris asked her followers on Twitter to donate to the criminals of BLM and Antifa arrested for peaceful riots to bail them out. No problem for Twitter. You know who else is a problem for Twitter? The Trump election campaign account, Kayleigh McEnany, the Press Secretary. Or as I call her Press Secretary Honey Badger. Love her. Jack Posobiec, and some US Senators recently. So I suppose TZP is in fine company.

Commu-book

You know the debates that have raged about the Wuhan Flu, the debates over Hydroxychloroquine, the doctors from California that talked about opening up the economy and how the lock-downs were creating more health problems than the Wuhan Flu. YouTube deleted their videos. In fact YouTube deletes any videos that go against the CDC and the WHO, because free thought and the flow of information must be stifled.

I heard on the Dennis Prager show yesterday that most young folks get their “news” not from the main (lame) stream media, but from the internet and to an extent from social media. Thanks to the mainstream media, censoring by social media and tech giants like google manipulating search results the only voices and information they will get will be from the left. What the big media allows, because thoughts must be controlled to be acceptable.

Information is power.

There are those fighting back, Gab MeWe and more recently Parler of these Parler is probably my least favorite as I’m just not used to it yet, perhaps. Gab is rapidly becoming my favorite. Gab has been attacked from the beginning, they aren’t allowed in the app stores of apple or android because they won’t stifle anyone’s right to free speech. Gab has been banned by Paypal, Stripe, Square, and dozens of other payment processing providers. His family has even been personally blacklisted by Visa. Gab you can send messages to other members, as you can with MeWe, Parler you can’t until you are verified. But Gab has a newsletter that I’m really liking. I’ll share a few. Most aren’t very long, and are relevant. All are written by Andrew Torba.

From Judicial Watch: Judge Rejects Stonewall — Orders Initial Production of Fauci Emails this Month

The Deep State has been circling the wagons around Dr. Fauci, but that’s coming to an end – after an unnecessary delay.

A federal judge has ordered the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to begin producing communications and other records of National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and Deputy Director H. Clifford Lane about the World Health Organization (WHO), China, and the coronavirus.

If you want to read it.

And speaking of Anthony Fauci, as you may have noticed, I do not hold him in high regard. One of my two movie efforts for ya’ll.

Yes, this one is a parody, it’s a bit over 7 minutes.

This one is 49 minutes and it is no joke. If it comes to pass I believe I would be thrilled, I think Fauci and Birx need to be held personally accountable. There are so many actual doctors and scientists that have spoken out against this disastrous lockdown. And yet because of the lamestream media citizens are terrified beyond rational thought. If you have time, this is well worth listening to. I’m not sure how long YouTube will leave it up. He’s part of the German Investigative Committee, a lawyer in German and California named Dr. Reiner Fuellmich.

And this is the second time I’ve replaced this video. Because youtube doesn’t want you to see this. This link is from a source other than youtube.

It wasn’t the virus that caused the damage. Crimes against humanity, and we’ve yet to feel the full force. The information about the PCR test alone is fascinating.

Had enough

Yes, the Eagle logo was swiped from Missouri Bullet Company. I would say we, the normal sane Americans are getting very tired of being manipulated, lied to and abused as one of the parties tries it’s best to shove America over the edge into communism. While President Trump may not be a perfect human, and he may not do everything perfectly or say everything perfectly to me the choice this election is pretty clear. And while your local Democrats may tell you they don’t hold with the party platform on gun control, they aren’t like that, why they even hunt! Keep in mind when it comes to getting help from the party to campaign or getting committee assignments they will tow the party line or else. I wouldn’t vote Dem in this election for anything, there is too much at stake.

Knowledge is power, unless you’re fond of being censored, canceled, or deceived I would urge you to find some alternative social media and some good news sources other than the mainstream media. Except of course One News America (which I don’t get) and NewsMax, they have a free TV channel too. I like them. There are probably others as well.

So I guess I just feel selectively sociable.

Can’t get one by them!

I can’t tell you how much confidence knowing the FBI is involved in an investigation inspires in me!

They are people of honor, of integrity known for their truthfulness and commitment to through investigation. Their crime solving ability is legendary, right? Criminals know they don’t stand a chance with those reknown sleuths are on their trail! They can’t be fooled, they are relentless and thus we can rest assured that truth, justice and American interests are safely protected in their capable hands.

I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.

I’m sure that just because people like Andrew MeCabe, Peter Strzok, and Robert Mueller have long and proud histories of corruption we can rest easily knowing at least they get the basics right. We can trust the FBI with evidence in important cases. It’s not like they would try to influence politics or elections with their positions.

So I’m sure it is in fact climate change that has set our beautiful forests in Oregon and Kalifornia ablaze. But whatever, we can rest assured, it is not antifa!

FBI Says Antifa Not Responsible For Setting Wildfires in Oregon

The FBI on Friday released a statement addressing viral ‘online rumors’ that political groups like Antifa are setting fires in Oregon.

“FBI Portland and local law enforcement agencies have been receiving reports that extremists are responsible for setting wildfires in Oregon. With our state and local partners, the FBI has investigated several such reports and found them to be untrue. Conspiracy theories and misinformation take valuable resources away local fire and police agencies working around the clock to bring these fires under control. Please help our entire community by only sharing validated information from official sources.” – the FBI said in a statement.

I recently got a desk calendar book from ArtScroll, and I just love it. At the bottom of every other page is a little something. This was the little something quite recently.

from Pirkei Avot

And this is exactly what we are seeing. Mob rule and elected officials that are scared like rabbits to do their job.

Omaha Bar Owner Shoots Protester Who Was Assaulting Him, Won’t Face Charges; Leftists Vow To Burn Bar Down

And why you ask, were the peaceful rioters after Jake Gardner? A) He was a volunteer on a Trump Campaign. B) He was accused of white supremacy. Why?

The harassment campaign against Gardner did not begin with the rioter that he shot in self-defense, but it may have been the reason that the mob was at his bar smashing his windows in the first place. For years, the far-left in Omaha has been targeting Gardner for supporting President Donald Trump and for building a third, unisex, bathroom in his bar for transgender customers to use.

….

In 2016, Gardner installed a third bathroom after an altercation between a transgender person and a biological woman took place in the restroom of one of his bars. The story made the local news after major outcry from LGBTQ activists in the city. He explained that a person wearing women’s clothes, but with male genitalia, had urinated standing up in the women’s bathroom, making a woman in there uncomfortable. She confronted the person, who then assaulted her. The attacker was kicked out of the bar and the victim declined to file a police report. That incident made Gardner decide to install a third bathroom, which could be used by people who needed it.

“The last thing I would want to do is hurt a member of (the transgender) community,” Gardner told the Omaha World-Herald at the time. “But people’s feelings are going to be hurt when you bring something up that is sensitive.”

For this the left went after him, attacked his bar (and other establishments) attacked his 71 year old father and him. He shot in self-defense. There is video of Jake trying to defuse the situation.

The left lost their collective minds, he wasn’t going to be charge? They were going to riot. So a grand jury was called.

His friend Sharp confirmed this, and elaborated on the threats against Gardner and his family, both prior to fatal incident with the rioter, and before.

Sharp noted that people were doxxing his mother and that his family was receiving death threats — in no small part thanks to a local activist named JaKeen Fox.

“Bottom line, without pressure from BLM the grand jury would have never been called,” Sharp said. “The leader of that push, JaKeen Fox, wrote tweets saying ‘Rest In Power’ to the Dallas cop killer.”

A “Go Fund Me” account was established for him to pay his legal expenses. Go Fund Me took it down.

And then Jake committed suicide. The Body of Omaha Bar Owner Jake Gardner Was Found 20 Minutes From Portland

And this piece of elected human detritus celebrated. Trashy Nebraska Senator Megan Hunt Admits Jake Gardner Persecution Was Mob Rule, Continues to Smear Him After His Suicide

“The indictment of Jake Gardner would never have happened without the community, the people, who stood up for justice and demanded action from city officials. Jake Gardner is gone, but the white supremacist attitudes that emboldened him are still with us today,” Hunt tweeted

And this is where we are. Not one single shred of evidence that Mr. Gardner was ever a white supremacist. The Democrats, #AspiringTyrants haven’t been able to abolish the 2nd Amendment (yet) so they will persecute you and prosecute you if you defend yourself. Your fate is subject to mob rule and threats. People are swallowing each other using the force of mobs and corrupt government. The agency responsible for law-enforcement is dirty and running cover for the mobs, and the mobs are preying on honest citizens. R’ Chanina was very wise, and very far-sighted.

Lifting the Veil on the Black Lives Matter Movement

Coronshevik

 

I finally had an encounter with the Coronshevik Red Guard in a large grocery store. One of my kids graduated Medical School calling for a memorable celebration. I flew her in from one state and overnighted Maryland crab cakes and jumbo shrimp from the Chesapeake Bay. We had corn on the cob and Coleslaw but no hush puppies. This would not do for true Marylanders so grabbing my daughter it was off to the store. Wearing proper suffocation devices, we searched high and low for hush puppy mix to no avail. Crafty owners had remodeled the store. My daughter thought she spied the mix on shelves we had passed requiring backtracking. A stout middle-aged woman with dark hair, leading a conga line coming in the opposite direction said in a snarky tone, “You’re going the wrong way”. “It doesn’t really matter” I replied. “Yes it does”, she said snarling at me. “Mind your own business”, I said. Everyone in the aisle heard the exchange. I was so proud of myself. These Kool Aid drinkers are typical of the obedient goons once swelling the Bolsheviks Party’s ranks who later went on to become presidents of Home Owner’s Associations. Doom on them.

Sports are dead

 

 

 

Indians, drums, tomahawk chops, Chiefs, and Redskins, oh my. These symbols represent the closest brush most Americans will ever have with an Indian. One is already gone and if cancel culture has its way, in order to purge their racism, gutless guilt-ridden whites will hurl the rest down into a deep dark basement along with George Washington and Christopher Columbus. White teens, angry and depressed over their skin color, toss and turn at night wishing they could pull a reverse Michael Jackson hiding the shame with which they were born. The BLMM (Black Lives Matter Movement as apart from the organization BLM) is telling white people that they are inherently racist and denial is proof of the crime. Each white person must engage in self-examination for any signs of racism, confess, and root it out. When people march under the BLM banner, utter its slogans, and wear its apparel they are saying; the United States is a terribly racist country, all white people are racists, police brutality is the norm, and those who say “all lives matter” are also racists. White people must engage in acts of contrition to prove they are not racist. Regrettably, this has spilled over into sports.

Smollet-Nascar version

 

 

 

 

NASCAR originated from bootleggers “hopping” up stock cars to outrun

Treasury Department agents attempting to arrest them for the manufacture and distribution of untaxed liquor.1 Mixed race (half white and half black) NASCAR driver Bubba “Smollett” Wallace’s race team found a noose hanging in the pit garage assigned them for the 25 June 2020 race at the Talladega, Alabama Superspeedway. Following the George Floyd tragedy, 

millionaire Wallace bedecked his car with BLM logos, donned BLM apparel, and forced NASCAR to ban fans from wearing attire featuring the Confederacy’s Battle Flag. One man supplants the history and culture of an entire region. From Washington, D.C. the FBI dispatched fifteen agents to investigate this heinous hate crime. Fellow NASCAR drivers pushed Wallace’s car around the track together in solidarity against the racism suddenly plaguing America. FBI special agents left quietly. There was no hate crime. The “noose” was simply a looped rope used to raise and lower doors…in all the pit team garages.2

The oppressed millionaire Hamilton

 

 

 

Formula 1 is a European oriented motorsport featuring single seat, open cockpit, and open wheel car racing. Drivers compete on tracks and courses winding through city streets. It has been my favorite sport since I was a child.

Lewis Hamilton was born and raised in England. His Caribbean father is black and his English mother white. Because of its origins, Formula 1 has always been essentially a “white” sport. Nevertheless, a white team and owner, white trainers, and white promoters gave a young Lewis his shot at making a team. They guided and assisted his training and development until he was ready for the big show. He has won six world championships (the record set by Michael Schumacher is seven). Hamilton owns mansions, a penthouse, and expensive apartments around the world. Mercedes pays him a tidy $52+ million a year. His legion of devoted fans are mostly white as well. Rich, successful, loved and adored, he has it all. Perhaps desiring to add meaning to his dilettante socialite bon vivant life jetting around the world with models and celebrities; one party after another, Lewis decided he was an aggrieved American black man. Maybe he channeled his inner “homey” fantasizing about being rousted by the racist Los Angeles PD. He compelled Mercedes to change its silver cars to a menacing and angry black in support of…Black Lives Matter. His car’s livery sports BLM slogans. Formula 1’s ruling body, apparently unaware of the paucity of black fans, forces drivers to wear “End Racism” T-shirts on the grid before each race. Countries hosting races had to paint BLM-like slogans on their trackside buildings. Not only does pink ball cap wearing Hamilton take a knee before each race, he raises an angry clenched fist, 60s black power style. He condemns drivers who do not kneel as racists. I know this because I was a Hamilton fan, T-Shirts and all. No longer. For his ignorance and betrayal of fans like me, I have binned my Hamilton memorabilia.

Among countries, hosting Formula 1 races are Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Red China, and Vietnam. In Bahrain and the U.A.E., government tightly controls the media, there is no freedom of speech, and all law must conform strictly to Islamic Sharia law. Women in the latter at best are second-class citizens. Red China and Vietnam are brutalitarian Communist dictatorships. The former is a nation of gulags, mass murder, and slavery. Is it not the height of hypocrisy for Formula 1 to take a stand against racism but host races in the above listed nations? Does Red China manufacture team fan apparel? Hamilton hails from one of the nations that brought slavery to North America and colonized Africa, Asia, India, and the Caribbean. How dare this beneficiary of Britain’s historic racism and slavery condemn the United States?

Following the Austrian Grand Prix (2020), retired English former world champion Jenson Button lamented the “bad optics” of not all drivers taking a knee with Hamilton. He said Formula 1 needed to catch up with other professional sports in support of BLM adding, people must discuss racism every day, at work, at home, wherever. Button is wrong. Most people are not racist nor do they need lectures from individuals who believe celebrity status confers on them superior moral superiority over others. Fans watch sports for entertainment not political indoctrination. Could it be Button is the one in need of self-examination? Worse, BLM T-shirts and kneeling validate the notion America is so horridly racist, every black man must look left and right before stepping out his front door because the police are waiting to gun him down. This is a monstrous lie perpetuated by those with a virulently anti-American political agenda. Aiding and abetting The Lie are brainwashed young white people. In addition to the pernicious influences of Hollywood, television, music, and absentee parents, am I going to point an accusatory finger at public education? You bet I am.

I spent 25 years in public education teaching courses in history and government until Leftwing Wokesheviks canceled me. Because I was under constant surveillance for evidence of conservative views by spies in the SocialIST studies department’s Ministry of Leftist Conformity, I was circumspect when speaking. Students repeat what teachers say. I knew everything I said can and would be distorted, twisted, and used against me. Nevertheless, eventually students recognized I did not sing from the same Red sheet music as my colleagues. Some realized what passed for teaching in many classes was, in reality, political indoctrination. What they found most offensive was the “Privilege Walk”.

In April of 2016, several students visited with me after school. These girls were visibly upset relating what happened in sociology class. Their liberal teacher took her class to the auxiliary gym, arranged them in a horizontal line across the middle of the floor, and, read a list of statements that for each student was either true or false. If true, they took a step forward, if false, they took a step back. Questions included; are you white? Do you live with both parents? Do you live in a single family home? Is either of your parents a white-collar professional? Do any of your family members play golf or tennis? Were you born in the U.S.? Has anyone mistreated you because of your ethnicity or race? Do you have all the food and clothes you want? Do you have your own car? Do you have blonde hair? Do you have blue eyes?

When the teacher completed the Privilege Walk, only a few kids had taken steps forward. They were all white, mostly female, and mostly blonde haired, blue eyed. This “white-shaming” had a profound and unpleasant impact on these teenagers. “Cancel Culture” designed this project to prove, by their more comfortable standard of living, white students are the recipients of race-based privileges. Instead of teachers pointing out because of the hard work, education, and sacrifice of parents some kids enjoy a higher standard of living than do peers, they insist racism is the cause for all social-economic discrepancies. College professors and high school teachers have employed the Privilege Walk for years. Their goal is to brainwash white middleclass students into believing any advantages they enjoy over minority students results from “white privilege”. This they claim is a system of institutionalized racism designed to maintain white cultural, economic, and political dominance over other races. The apex of society is a private club. One must be Caucasian to join. Whites do this because of their inherent racism. It is in their DNA. This is what liberal teachers are doing to your kids, people.3

The scheme behind the privilege walk is as insidious as it is ingenious. Once white kids buy in to the notion they are privileged and inherently racist, it neuters any future opposition on their part to the Left’s political agenda. Because the Left cloaks all it does in racial terms, it automatically triggers in young whites, feelings they are racist if they oppose them. For example, they have racialized every aspect of their socialist agenda from global warming, clean water, the criminal justice system, free college, to healthcare. To oppose any aspect of it demonstrates one’s “white privilege”. Hence, young whites shut up and go along with the program. In addition, they are deaf to people who point this out because opposition can only stem from inherent racism even if the one speaking out is black! Not every white middleclass student experiences the Privilege Walk. Nevertheless popular culture, racial grievance groups, and peers bombard them with messages they are the beneficiaries of white privilege. Disbelief or rejection of this notion proves they are racist. It is like the old Salem witch test. Bind and throw the girl into a pond. If she floats, she’s a witch. If she drowns, she was innocent. There is another serious problem with the Privilege Walk.

Minority students see they are the one’s stepping back and only white kids stepping forward. Teacher explanations are clear; those stepping forward are the recipients from society of unmerited privilege based solely on their race. This must engender jealously, resentment, anger, and hatred amongst minorities toward “privileged” whites. Is it possible this form of resentment fuels the rage and violence of recent “protests”? Prior indoctrination by liberal public school teachers sets the stage so that it requires little for leftist college professors to administer the coup de grace. Not only do they teach their captives about systemic white racism, they tell them the standard of living enjoyed by middle-class whites is the direct result of slavery. Professors teach America’s wealth is not the result of rugged individualism, hard work, the free market, entrepreneurs, and innovation supported by the principles of limited government and individual liberty. Rather Americans built wealth on the backs of slave labor. Slaves, who, last harvested crops almost 160 years ago, created the wealth expropriated by white businesses, banks, and government to create its comfortable society. White students seem to accept this Marxist fantasy history without animadversion. Does anyone ask, if this was true, why are former slave empires France, Portugal, and Spain economic wrecks? Why are American blacks richer across the board than blacks in any other country? Does anyone consider the successful struggle of Chinese and Mexicans to achieve success in America?

Proof this indoctrination has “taken” manifests itself in the way white talking heads exhaust the pages of Roget’s Thesaurus trying to paint thugs, rioters, and criminals as saints and the police as bad guys. So heavily has the liberal media bought into notions of inherent white racism, they cover the rare instances of white on black crime non-stop while completely ignoring the vastly more frequent cases of black on white crime. I will say what no one else will; it is because they believe white people, regardless of how innocent, collectively deserve it. Innocent whites are sacrificial lambs. Their beatings, robberies, rapes, and murders pay the substitutionary price for the guilt of the entire white race.

Black professor Derrick Bell, New York University of Law is the pioneer of “Critical Race Theory” (CRT). Bell argues, “Race plays the same role as class in the Marxist paradigm”. Marx argued wealth and the means of production determines economic class and those at the top suppress efforts by those beneath them to rise. Likewise, CRT contends race is also a system locking people into inferior social, economic, and political classes. Bell contends white support for civil rights and equality exists only in those areas in which it promotes “white self-interest and social status”. According to Bell, Professor Alan Freeman, and college professors who embrace CRT, “racial minorities” in America “are a permanently oppressed caste—and racism is a normal, permanent aspect of American life”. In addition, blacks regard “equality before the law” an insult and form of oppression because “their moral claims are superior to those of whites”.4 Critical Race Theory, dominant on most American campuses, asserts that the white race has constructed all institutions and the legal system to maintain its dominance and prevent change. Therefore, being outside the law, blacks have a right to determine for themselves which laws they will obey and respect and which they will not”.5

Professors have taught CRT in colleges for years. BLM spokesmen reflect its ideology through claims looting is not criminal but instead represents reparations owed to black people for slavery. Therefore, to label looters as criminals is racist.6 Could it also explain why white middle-class millennial news reporters excuse the ongoing riots and large scale looting, while liberal Democrat mayors stand by and do nothing? In their minds, the white race must atone for its sins. They wage war against whites who parents raised their children to protect the status quo at all costs. Proof they are racists is angry denial by whites that white privilege even exists.7

In his 1995 book, Lies My Teacher Told Me (praised by communist pseudo-historian Howard Zinn), Professor James W. Loewen writes, “Slavery’s twin legacies to the present are the social and economic inferiority it conferred on blacks and the cultural racism it instilled in whites”. The legacy of slavery and white racism “continue to haunt our society”.8 Loewen’s books, and what he teaches his students, are exemplars of Critical Race Theory. Whites building structural repression of blacks into all American institutions is a central tenet of both CRT and the BLM movement. Its proponents use it to explain all disparities between the races. They also posit a form of inherited generational PTSD to explain why black communities continue to suffer high rates of crime and poverty compared to other minority communities. In short, Slavery was such a horrific experience for blacks they continue to suffer deep psychological pain and emotional trauma to this day. Indeed, many marching under the umbrella of BLM, whether the organization or the general movement, believe “white society” is beyond salvation.9

There is a reason why the liberal Enforcers of Political Correctness become hysterical and “cancel” anyone who dares suggest perhaps the government and blacks are in some measure, to blame. Black economist Thomas Sowell, among others, notes prior to Democrat President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society social welfare and affirmative action programs, (which favors blacks over whites in hiring and promotion) the black community was fine. It had equal or lower rates of crime, unwed mothers, and high school dropouts than whites. When government programs, enacted by liberals, negated the value of a father in the home, the black race, like any other, suffered the consequences. Fathers are an integral part of stable families. For liberals to acknowledge this truth, they would have to confess their programs destroyed the black family. They are responsible for the pathologies plaguing the black community.10

The Black Lives Matter Movement protests, apart from the eponymous organization, is both a political and religious movement. Religions have, to varying degrees, a set of basic tenets and doctrinal beliefs. BLMM’s core religious beliefs include; from its origins, the white race exhibited an overwhelming imperative to conquer, subjugate, colonize, and enslave other races. It is so much a part of its history this desire has entered Caucasian DNA, which they transmit, to all succeeding generations. Nothing can erase either the white race’s history of colonization and enslavement or its genetic proclivity toward racism. Nothing can correct or ameliorate this race’s injustices, past or present. Because of this, and the white race’s inability to excise racism from its DNA, Caucasians are irredeemable. The degree to which the majority of blacks believe the above will determine the future shape of America. If the majority hold to these tenets, the conclusion is inescapable; the black and brown races must separate from the white race. Rejection of these tenets means letting go of a past that cannot be undone and going forward, together, in search of true brotherhood.

11 Had the government received its “cut”, always in the form of a “Tax Stamp”, bootlegging would have been legal. Someone once told me the difference between the government and the Mafia is there are less Italians working for the government.

Lifting the Veil On Black Lives Matter

Yitzhak Goldstein, Professor Errant

Icons

1To understand Black Lives Matter, it is necessary to distinguish between the organization by that name and the general movement operating under the same banner. Three Marxist lesbians formed the Organization following the Trayvon Martin case in 2014. Their goal is abolition of Judeo-Christian based Western society and violent over throw of all its institutions. In addition, they contend the white race is attempting to exterminate the black race with police their instrument of execution. I plan a future expose on them but for now, my focus is on the broader Black Lives Matter Movement (BLMM).

Liberal media mouthpieces, aware of the revolutionary, violent, and communist nature of BLM, are quick to point out that most protesters marching under its name are not necessarily members of BLM or aware of its extreme goals. They worry connection between BLM and the protest movement will damage the latter’s cause. However, a close examination of the movement’s beliefs and ideology may prove equally problematic. What do they believe?

In general, to varying degrees, the Black Lives Matter Movement [BLMM] assert systemic white racism besets America. This means racism permeates America’s institutions from government, the family, church, education, its economic system, cultural norms, to its criminal justice system. So pervasive is this racism, it is intertwined with and inseparable from these institutions. The nature of white racism is structural meaning built automatically into each institution from the ground up. White privilege means Caucasians, by virtue of their skin color, have automatic societal acceptance and access to opportunities denied others. BLMM asserts this explains why whites achieve success and prosperity at higher rates than blacks do. White Supremacy means Caucasians construct culture and mechanisms to protect and preserve their dominance against challenges. This renders non-whites permanent second-class citizens unable to enjoy the Declaration of Independence’s promise of equality. For “proof”, BLMM points to the inordinately high percentage of blacks in poverty and prison claiming those behind bars are political prisoners, not criminals. Political for challenging the status quo. Because the police are the bodyguard for white supremacy, BLMM exhibits special hatred toward black officers.

Two inescapable questions come to mind. First, if the white race has so constructed America’s institutions to preserve its hegemonic dominance, how is it brown and black immigrants from East and Southwest Asia, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, and Africa scale these barriers achieving economic success equivalent to whites? Second, considering that black mayors, city councils, police chiefs, and boards of education have controlled black dominant cities for decades, how are white people to blame? To ask such questions invites shrieks of outrage and accusations of racism. You will be “cancelled”. BLMM addresses these discrepancies by insisting pathologies afflicting black dominant cities; poverty, unemployment, high school dropout rates, children born out of wedlock, drug use, domestic violence, and violent crime are the direct legacy of slavery. Former conditions of servitude, Jim Crow, and structural racism, lock blacks into inescapable economic inferiority leaving them few avenues to survive other than crime. It is the white man’s fault. If this is so obvious and demonstrable, why then do Caucasians deny their culpability? BLMM says it is because white people are inherently racist. It is a part of white people’s nature as if a component of their DNA. Inherent racism blinds them not only to the plight of blacks, which they see as the norm, but also to their role in creating and perpetuating problems endemic to the black condition. This blindness renders any white observation or opinion on race illegitimate. The white race must accept and purge its collective guilt.

Black author Taleeb Starkes also notes what he calls the Racial Grievance Industry (RGI), blames black poverty, and crime on the legacy of racism in cities long ruled by blacks. This is for political reasons. If black leaders accept responsibility, no longer can they blame white society. Blame and accepted guilt allow them to extract from whites economic tribute and political advantage.2 Starkes refers to the notion the legacy of slavery damns whites to eternal responsibility for problems plaguing black cities the “Theory of Exploitivity”. It promotes not only perpetual white guilt, but also argues all conflicts between the races stem from blacks attempting to confront white racism. It is a one-way street.3 Riots are a form of political expression their condemnation therefore racist. Since 1965, the federal government has spent trillions in black cities on poverty and education programs yet little has changed.4

For BLMM and its groveling self-flagellating white sycophants, “Racism is the end-all-be-all-explanation” for everything that is wrong in the black community. Therefore, “no fact finding mission is necessary”. Whites must accept total blame and responsibility for all problems in black communities without question or equivocation. Because whites are guilty, what is there to argue about? Any study or investigation into the root causes of black societal problems, whose starting point does not begin with presumption of white guilt and responsibility, is racist and invalid.5 Discussions of racial issues by whites must begin with their confession of guilt and blame. Pointing to studies revealing fatherless homes play a role in black crime, Baltimore’s riots for example, is a non-starter because it does not begin with the presumption white racism is always the cause.6 The white race must also purge its collective guilt. Part of that process is to dismantle all institutions, symbols, and vestiges of racism and slavery. Purging must include culture, holidays, language, historical documents, statues, and so forth.

For years, I have advocated a name change for the nation’s capital. Not to denigrate the man who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen (George Washington for those who went to public school), but to separate his name from the disgrace on the Potomac. The federal government’s functions today bear no resemblance to the Constitution. Heretofore, my voice has gone unheard, but now, from a new corner, comes a voice demanding this change. George Washington’s family owned slaves so his name must go. Supporters of BLMM, including white members of Congress attempting to exorcise their inner-slave master, bandy names about like a badminton shuttlecock. Leaks suggest in the running was domestic terrorist and murderer John Brown, who attacked the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry Virginia, (16-18 October 1859) to spark a slave rebellion and mass murder of whites. Then someone scrounged up a history book and discovered Brown was white. He is out of the running. Next the People’s Committee to Rename the Capital turned to Black Panther leaders Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, and Angela Davis. Black and communists, would they not do? Newton, Seale, and Cleaver were male and Davis is heterosexual. Cross their names off the list. It seems this leaves only Maya Angelou.

In their Bolshevik-style redo of America, BLMM and its Communist ally, Pantifa7 want to replace the National Anthem as well. Rumor has it Soviet Russia’s anthem was proposed but once again the same problem reared its ugly head. White guys wrote it and pasty-skinned ones at that. Claims they are considering communist Zimbabwe’s national anthem remain unsubstantiated. BLMM has engaged in violence, riots, looting, and thuggery knowing that as long as they cloak it all in racial terms, cowed white liberals will do nothing. Worse, liberal professors, actors, actresses, and media personalities race to the airwaves to support these crimes as a way to purge their racism and white guilt. Like sharks tasting blood, BLMM asks, why stop now? To flex their political muscle, they need to make examples of people.

After committing the counterrevolutionary crime of expressing patriotism and pride in the flag of his country, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees became that example. Black teammates and professional jocks in other sports descended upon Brees in furious rage over his racist crime. Caving in and submitting to reeducation, Brees recanted and apologized for his insensitive crime of being proud of family members who fought against the Nazis in WWII. Not wanting to suffer the same fate, Hollywood and corporations quickly and cravenly rushed to throw their necks into BLMMs guillotine. Legos deemed its toys featuring police stations, officers, and patrol cars so vile and racist, corporate cowards quickly yanked them from their product line. A & E Channel immediately canceled its popular Live PD TV show as if, like Brees and Legos, they are all inherently guilty of George Floyd’s indefensible death. When the people Americans depend on for courage and leadership, men and women of character, surrender without a fight, what chance is there people of lesser spine will stand for the truth? The decisions we make, when those decisions are difficult, define who and what we are. Dominos continued to fall.

Quaker Oats could not expunge Aunt Jemima’s face from its pancake mix boxes fast enough. I, like so many others, grew up with Aunt Jemima never once imputing negative stereotypes to her happy face. The same goes for Uncle Ben. Mars Incorporated is scrubbing his friendly face from their boxes of parboiled rice as well. Introduced in 1943, Uncle Ben has been a staple in kitchens for decades. To fight racism, companies must airbrush the faces of two iconic black people from food boxes? It gets worse.

NYT’s propagandist

Unbeknownst to kids growing up years ago, Mary Poppins and chimney sweep Dick van Dyke were racists. In the 1964 children’s classic, Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) uses her magic to ascend a chimney with the kids she is babysitting to a rooftop above. Covered with soot, Mary commits the unpardonable sin of powdering her face making it darker to look like a chimney sweep. Then she dances across the rooftops with equally be-sooted Dick van Dyke. According to gonadectomized New York Times hyphenated editorialist Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, this is pure racism. White people in “black face” is an unacceptable form of racist mockery. Shame shame.8 Perhaps Pollack-Pelzner has been in cryostasis for a long time but black face fell out of favor in the 1930s. It made a few cameo appearances in early 1950s Hollywood films and then disappeared. It has been gone for some seventy years. I never saw or heard of black face as child hence, watching Mary Poppins, I made no connection between her soot smeared face and black people. Poppins was about to dance with a chimney sweep who naturally would have a carbon blackened face. It was a skit, a musical. Like subliminal messages Hollywood purportedly embedded throughout drive-in movies, one would have to strain very hard to find secret coded racist messages in Mary Poppins. Pollack-Pelzner’s white-guilt ridden garment rending lament, and that of other BLMM mouthpieces, makes it sound as if slavery ended last week. Perhaps someone should examine Julie Andrew’s performance in The Sound of Music for other hidden messages. Better yet, Pollack-Pelzner could write an expose about racist Kentucky coal miners emerging from beneath the ground in black face. How does scrubbing the faces of friendly black people from product boxes, banishing police shows from television, and violent protests, looting, and rioting save one black life in Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Oakland, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and other cities? Maybe for BLMM, not all black lives matter.

Over Father’s Day weekend (2020) in Chicago, killers shot 104 people. Fourteen died including five children, a 3-year old, and a 13-year old girl. Almost all the victims and their killers were black.8 Liberals, like Democrat Party strategist Jessica Tarlov, appeared on news programs arguing the sudden tidal wave of black inner city violence was the natural consequence of people cooped up too long from China virus stay at home orders. Tension between family members leads to conflict, fights, and ultimately someone grabs a gun.9 If this were true, violence would be uniform across America including in white neighborhoods. However, this is not the case. It was limited almost entirely to Democrat run cities with large black populations. Over the same weekend, Detroit experienced 25 shootings with four dead. Police Chief Craig noted most were drive-by and targeted shootings. The same proved true for Chicago.10 Minneapolis, where its ultra-liberal government is dismantling its police department, witnessed 12 people shot with one dead. Most of those the hoods shot were standing in a crowd on a public street. A drive-by. In Syracuse, New York, thugs shot nine people who were at a large outdoor gathering. None of these shootings was between people cooped up too long.11 It is clear that blacks are gunning down other blacks, including children and infants, every week in major cities, but no one marches for them. Are whites killing blacks in large numbers? In one place they are.

The majority of feminists promoting abortion and owners of abortion mills are white. Keeping this in mind, the abortion rate among black women in America is four times that of white women. On average, doctors abort 900 black babies every day [328,500 each year]. Considering black women make up approximately 7% of the U.S. population, and have 35.6% of all abortions, it is clear it is not the police blacks should fear but the white doctor holding a scalpel and vacuum hose.12

Freakonomics, authored by liberal University of Chicago and Yale professors Steven Levitt and John Donahue, respectively, was a 2005 bestseller. They argued abortion is a significant factor in reducing crime. Unwanted babies are typically born to black unwed mothers. Black males, growing up poor and fatherless, are much more likely to become violent criminals than kids who grow up in two-parent families. The U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand in 1973. According to Levitt, violent crime began dropping in 1991 because black kids, who would have turned eighteen that year, were never born.13 One would think a book arguing for the preemptive mass murder of unborn black babies as a crime-fighting tool would generate outrage leading to mass marches. It has not. Ultra-liberal MIT professor Jonathan Grueber, mover and shaker behind former President Obama’s socialized healthcare scheme, made the same argument as Levitt; abortion is an economic boon reducing welfare spending and the costs of America’s criminal justice system.14 Arguments that abortion of black children amounts to genocide are persuasive and our silence a form of complicity. Black and white people should be surrounding abortion mills not pulling down statues. Where is the outrage?

BLMM is a political movement. All black lives, especially those gunned down by other blacks and those killed by abortionists, do not matter to them, only those serving as expedient political props. BLMM’s insistence whites accept total blame and responsibility for all pathologies in the black community while refusing to acknowledge any responsibility on their part, sets up an impasse impossible to resolve. Whites cannot accept blame for racism and police brutality that is not occurring and nothing will ever change if those who are to blame for what is happening in black communities refuse to accept responsibility.

Do all black lives matter? Do black lives matter? Do family member’s lives matter to each other? Of course they do. Black folks have been part of America since the beginning. They are as much American as anyone. Yeah, but as slaves. Mechal Sobel, professor of history at the University of Haifa, Israel, argues regardless of condition of servitude, a natural result of blacks and whites interacting together was that blacks influenced and shaped white culture as much as the reverse. From architecture, food, lifestyles, and cultural values, blacks shaped what people perceive as “white” culture to the point they are inseparable.15 If so, that means, regardless of race, we are all family. A family that attends separate churches obviously has many problems to say the least. Nevertheless, being members of the same family is a much better starting point for understanding and reconciliation than the alternatives.

77 They call themselves Antifa (Antifascist after Russian Communist dictator Josef Stalin’s practice of calling rivals, who were also communists, “fascists” in order to “cancel” them) and are themselves communists and revolutionaries with European origins. Several websites, forums, and Face Book groups mock them as “Pantifa” for their penchant of wearing masks over their heads that look like “panties” to hide their identities. They consist mostly of white youth. They form a Leftwing paramilitary militia, the shock troops of the radical left and Democrat Party. Many are self-loathing society hating rage-filled white females and white hermaphroditic hipster Millennials sporting “pot-knots” (man-buns) and white “males” with long braided blonde pred-dreads (their rope hair reminiscent of the monster in the Predator movies), who despise civilization almost as much as they hate themselves. They hate all forms of achievement because it reminds them of their own failure to grow up and be a man.

The Only Responders

We are coming up on the anniversary of the Hevron massacre. They occurred on the Shabbat of Parshat Eikev in 1929. It was a particularly brutal massacre. Some first hand accounts, and a detailed first hand account. I’ve written about the Hevron massacre before.

Go even further back, if this is all about the re-unification of Jerusalem in 1967 or the state of Israel in 1948, then why the Hevron massacre of 1929? The Haganah showed up in Hevron and told the residents they had knowledge that there would be an attack. Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem, and good buddy of Hitler was inciting the riots. The citizens of Hevron turned down the protection protesting that they had lived in peace with their Arab neighbors for centuries. True, they had. However, that had been without incitement. They were afraid if the Haganah showed up it would “inflame” the situation and make it worse. Well, we know how that turned out. The British, who had control neither intervened to stop it, and in some cases, assisted the arabs in the slaughter.

Some things don’t change. Or over time, they change and begin to look like they have in the past. Some of that could have been written today. Left wing mayors saying they won’t take help from the federal government to stop peaceful rioters from destroying businesses, hopes, dreams and lives of taxpaying citizens. But they do want the federal dollars. As it’s been said many times, we are our own first responders. I believe that one to be more true than “You don’t need a gun, you can just call the police” which has also been said many times. Mostly by the people trying to disarm U.S. and also defund the police.

As we watch our country being ripped by Marxists products of the massive amount of liberals in the public education system and lack of actual teachers some things are becoming painfully apparent. You can’t always call the police. In some of my other columns recently I linked stories of a terrified driver with her child who was being stopped by peaceful rioters and called 9-1-1 only to be told it was a city sanctioned event and the police wouldn’t respond and she could complain to the city council. Another woman drove through the peaceful rioters who were outraged. They felt entitled to take over the streets and disrupt the lives and traffic patterns of law abiding citizens.

What is also becoming clear is that the law-enforcement that was meant to be the main institution of maintaining order and keeping a civil society civil is becoming unable to do so. They are under attack, often physically, from the peaceful rioters and leftist politicians who, more often than not, side with the peaceful rioters rather than the law-abiding citizens who pay the taxes, own the businesses and are just trying to go about their lives. They often leave their own officers out to dry as well. Those that support the police may well be abandoned by the very police they are trying to help. Recently Michelle Malkin and others at a Back The Blue rally were attacked by the peaceful rioters from antifa and black lives matter in Denver. And I mean physically attacked. The police were present, and they immediately did…..nothing. They were under a stand down order from Police Chief Pazen. Just like in 2016 when conservatives were often attacked physically during rallies and prayer meetings and the leftist police chiefs told officers to stand down and let it happen. And being “Good Germans” they allowed law-abiding citizens to be attacked and beaten by mobs.

Former NYC Police Chief Raymond Kelly (his son Greg has a TV show on Newsmax) has issued a warning to Jewish communities.

Kelly also spoke about the current New York policy requiring officers to stand down as a de-escalation measure, a policy with which he disagrees. He noted that the anti-crime units which the city once had were effective in reducing crime. Now, he says, more people are willing to challenge the police, which puts the most vulnerable faith group, the Jewish community, at high risk.

But as Yuri talked about in his video the left does eat their own useful idiots. And some of these people are seeing that happen. The McCloskey case in St. Louis is an example, the peaceful rioters who broke into their neighborhood and threatened them and their dog were attempting to find Demoncratic Mayor Lyda Krewson’s home so they could threaten her into resigning. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best has been in the unenviable position of being Seattle’s Police Chief. And they have a liberal mayor and city council who have decided social justice is more important to them than law abiding tax payers. Chief Best sent this letter to residents.

Please also know that the City Council Ordinance 119805 Crowd Control Tool goes into effect this weekend on Sunday, July 26, 2020. This ordinance bans Seattle Police officers the use of less lethal tools, including pepper spray that is commonly used to disperse crowds that have turned violent. Simply put, the legislation gives officers NO ability to safely intercede to preserve property in the midst of a large, violent crowd.

It is important to bring to your attention that yesterday, I sent the City Council a letter ensuring them that as the Chief of Police, I have done my due diligence of informing them numerous times of the foreseeable impact of this ordinance on upcoming events. The letter is attached for your reference.

For these reasons, Seattle Police will have an adjusted deployment in response to any demonstrations this weekend – as I will never ask our officers to risk their personal safety to protect property without the tools to do so in a safe way.

It is becoming quite clear that there is a developing void and law-abiding citizens are being left out to dry.

And so citizens have been stepping into that void. It was armed citizens, her neighbors, that stopped antifa and blm from showing up at Chief Best’s house. This seems to be their newest tactic. Show up at politician and now officer’s homes.

I thought the plaintive “ We are looking for a friend” was a bit over the top. Sure, a group of thugs goes hunting for the Police Chief’s house. I’m sure they are all besties.

Armed Texans Defend Alamo from Potential Rioters

I’d debate the “potential” as they had already defaced the Alamo Cenotaph.

One thing that kind of stands out is in many of these type of stories the media breathlessly (it seems to me) chronicles that the people that don’t want their town destroyed are white and they describe their clothing as if they are longing to be fashion reporters. Fashion reporters that have never been around military much and don’t really think too much of them.

So why do they need to be armed you ask? Portland: Women Defending Police Precinct Attacked by Antifa Terrorists Because two frail little old ladies, one of them on a walker attempted to stop the peaceful rioters from defacing the police precinct and one attempted to put out a fire that the rioters had started next to the building. They were both attacked and threatened. That’s what it looks like in a society where the weaker have no one to protect them, and the rule of law.

After the police dispersed the peaceful rioters from the precinct they went on to find other prey. Antifa Militants Rove Into Residential Parts of Portland, Assault a Woman at Her Home, Try to Blind Her with Lasers

The media is all in on pushing and advancing the racism narrative.

And they would be wrong. As usual. NOBODY likes this stuff. Husband of LA County DA Charged with Misdemeanors After Pointing Gun at BLM Protesters Who Showed up to His Home

And when I say NOBODY, I mean NOBODY. Including criminals and gangs don’t want antifa and blm in their neighborhood with their peaceful riots.

The Crips in Longbeach, and I’m advising you, the language is, well, they are Crips.

There is also similar video of the Latin Kings in Chiraq running the peaceful rioters out of their neighborhood.

Armed citizens are more and more becoming not just the first responders, but the only responders.

Edit: Because it is just too good to pass up.

Missing the Temple and Unity

As we head into Tisha B’Av, I have a few thoughts. Of course I do. Tisha B’Av is the day we re-feel the lose of the two Temples. The place where G-d said I want to live among you, build me a home. First the Mishkan in the desert, later the two Temples. Tisha B’Av is a 25 hour fast, and there are many customs that accompany the date.

Chabad has a list of tragedies that occurred on the 9th of Av, Tisha B’Av. This year it is 30th July 2020.

I’ve done columns as well. This one is quite applicable. Tisha B’Av from within.

I listened to a very interesting audio show the other day on a Podcast called “Soul Talk”, this episode dealt with the 9th of Av.

The Cliff notes version: It wasn’t about the building, the Temple being destroyed because our behavior had already destroyed was it was about. The core and foundation of it were already weakened by our lack of realization of G-d’s presence within ourselves and others. How we related to ourselves and others. There were 3 key violations that were taking place within the populace at the time. If we sense the presence of G-d within ourselves, how do we relate to ourselves? If we sense the presence of G-d in others, how do we relate to them? The first Temple was destroyed because of 3 cardinal sins, murder, idolatry, and sexual perversion. Murder violates my relationship with others, idolatry violates my relationship with G-d and sexual perversion violates my relationship with myself. It all comes from the feeling is G-d with us? Is he within us? When that’s gone, everything is gone. What hope is there for a world that doesn’t believe in themselves, that doesn’t believe the human being is inherently valuable?

And contained within that, is lack of unity, a lack of cohesiveness. And are we ever there today. The continually changing rules on lockdowns, the stifling of data on actual scientific studies, the denial of information to the American people by big (leftist) corporations is having a horrifying effect on people.

I don’t know if this woman was crazy because she is re-breathing her own CO2, or if her mask fit too tight on her little head. But this woman felt it was her right to attack and mace a couple and their puppy having a little picnic outside in the sunshine and fresh air in a dog park. Why? Because they weren’t wearing masks while they had their little picnic. No one was around them, they were easily socially distancing over the 6 feet outside. Because, you know, safety right? It’s all about protecting lives……by screaming at innocent people, flipping them off and then macing them. Thank goodness neither of them seem to be asthmatic! Poor puppy, only 3 months old. I hope the police find the left wing dingbat and press charges. There is a video. This insane marxist feels entitled to act like this and commit assault in broad daylight. How many others have been so socially conditioned by the MSM #FakeNews to believe they will die and the world will end if free speech isn’t stifled and individuality isn’t stamped out? Masks for all!

Masked Speech

Continuing further with the sense of entitlement we have those that block law abiding citizens from using public roads. Doesn’t matter if they are going to work, an ambulance running a call or taking their kid home from tap dance lessons. We’ve all I’m sure, seen the videos of the peaceful rioters attacking cars breaking windows and pulling the drivers out to be beaten. Heard the terrified people calling 9-1-1 begging for someone to come help them only to be told their city council has given approval for citizens to be attacked and the police will not come. We’ve heard children crying hysterically in the background as their parents are unable to protect them and they know it. And these “peaceful rioters” feel entitled to treat citizens in this manner.

Terrified Woman Mobbed by Violent Protesters, Hits Gas to Escape — Police Won’t Arrest Her and Let Her Drive on Home

I’m giving you all the tweets the rioter sent out. She feels totally within her rights to do this to another human being. G-d bless the police on this one.

The mob banged on her car, beat her windows, jumped on her hood, screamed at her and threatened the poor woman who just wanted to escape their violence….

As we blocked streets, certain drivers got annoyed and attempted to maneuver their way around us. This particular white woman tried to cut through a gas station. Me and a couple other protestors stood in front of her car and demanded she turn around. Instead she steps on the gas. pic.twitter.com/ODL1Evmmzf

Finally cops come but instead of arresting this woman, or asking for her ID, registration, etc., they turn towards us and begin pushing us. We are BEGGING them to arrest this woman who just tried to run over protestors repeatedly. pic.twitter.com/GUP7wWmDBs

After about 40 minutes, police FINALLY ask for her ID and she claims she is too scared to give it to them because protestors “might take it”. In the meantime myself and other witnesses give our information to officers. pic.twitter.com/2upyodRSGw

After all this time of pushing protestors and protecting this violent white woman, the MPD LET HER DRIVE HOME. Shoving and grabbing protestors who tried to stop her. Police treated us like threats, when she was clearly dangerous.

— Julia Clark🇧🇷 (@Jsc_35) July 26, 2020

Police didn’t do XXXi. They have never done XXX. Will never do XXX. And will never BE XXX. XXX the police. This is a hate crime. Find this woman.

— Julia Clark🇧🇷 (@Jsc_35) July 26, 2020

This is exactly why we need to defund MPD. MPD does not protect citizens utilizing their right to protest, they protect a woman who tried to run over protestors. Police DON’T keep us safe. The only thing police are good at is brutalizing Black people. DEFUND MPD.

— Julia Clark🇧🇷 (@Jsc_35) July 26, 2020

She feels, as Rabbi Aaron talked about that the poor drivers are just a means to an end. The rioting thug is allowed to treat people however she wants to show her displeasure and get what she wants. Means to an end.

Another peaceful rioter didn’t come out so well. Leftist Protester Shot and Killed by Driver in Austin as Crowd Blocked Intersection

Car Drives Through Mob of Protesters on Colorado Highway, Protester Shoots Fellow Protesters While Trying to Shoot Driver

We’ve probably all seen the video of the peaceful rioters trying to throw smoke grenades into horse trailers on the highway.

I don’t think there is any resolution to be reached with these people. And we aren’t suppose to compromise with evil. I do believe our country is at the edge of a precipice.

I believe our culture has descended into the darkness that is like when we lost the Temples. The 9th of Av isn’t just about grieving the loss of them.

The Jerusalem Talmud states: “If the Holy Temple is not rebuilt in your lifetime, it’s as though it were destroyed in your lifetime.” The commentaries learn from this that the Temple’s destruction is an ongoing event.

I’m feeling the loss, I miss my Synagogue, I miss being in my community, I miss hearing Rabbi teach, I miss a ton of things and it’s all because we are missing the presence of the Beit HaMikdash.

We are ready, there is a organization The Temple Institute that has been training priests so they are ready, they are raising red heifers and have potential candidates, they have crafted the tools needed for the service. You can also see pictures.
