PM: Churchill statue being at risk
absurd... we can't edit our past

Boris Johnson has said it is “absurd and shameful” that the statue of Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square is at risk of attack from anti-racism protesters

The Prime Minister intervened after a protective barrier was placed around the monument and the nearby Cenotaph on Thursday night amid concerns they could again be targeted by demonstrators.

Mr Johnson described Mr Churchill as a "hero", adding: “We cannot now try to edit or censor our past. We cannot pretend to have a different history."

He wrote on Twitter: “The statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square is a permanent reminder of his achievement in saving this country – and the whole of Europe – from a fascist and racist tyranny.

The statue has been covered up

“It is absurd and shameful that this national monument should today be at risk of attack by violent protesters. Yes, he sometimes expressed opinions that were and are unacceptable to us today, but he was a hero, and he fully deserves his memorial.

“We cannot now try to edit or censor our past. We cannot pretend to have a different history. The statues in our cities and towns were put up by previous generations.

“They had different perspectives, different understandings of right and wrong. But those statues teach us about our past, with all its faults. To tear them down would be to lie about our history and impoverish the education of generations to come.”

Mr Johnson added that the “only responsible action” was to stay away from planned protests this weekend.

“As for the planned demonstrations, we all understand the legitimate feelings of outrage at what happened in Minnesota and the legitimate desire to protest against discrimination.

“Whatever progress this country has made in fighting racism – and it has been huge – we all recognise that there is much more work to do.

“But it is clear that the protests have been sadly hijacked by extremists intent on violence. The attacks on the police and indiscriminate acts of violence which we have witnessed over the last week are intolerable and they are abhorrent.

It comes after activists scrawled "was a racist" on the statue of Britain's war-time Prime Minister as thousands descended on London for another protest over George Floyd's death.

These protests have NOTHING to do with George Floyd

Would his family really want his life commemorated with acts of violence and killings; re-awakening of dangerous black power groups; the countering of such black groups with white opposition groups; the increase of racism in the UK; destruction of public property; looting and the breaking of social distancing that could lead to a second wave of the virus

MP for Rother Valley Alexander Stafford said it was a “sad day” for the capital that the Cenotaph had to be boarded up.

“Those that want to attack this symbol of freedom and liberty make me deeply ashamed," he wrote on Twitter.

A barrier was also put up around George Washington in Trafalgar Square

Jacob Young, MP for Redcar, wrote on Twitter: “So sad that rioters can't be trusted not to attack the cenotaph, so much so that they now feel the need to board it up.”

A protective barrier has also been put up around the George Washington statue in Trafalgar Square ahead of the protests.

Meanwhile, two statues of people involved in the history of Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals are to be removed due to their links with the slave trade.

The Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust announced on Thursday that the figures depicting Robert Clayton and Thomas Guy will be taken out of public view.

I fear that in their insanity, BLM will call for the demolition of Guy's hospital and other such important centres of learning and support

Dozens more controversial statues could be pulled down after councils vowed to review their monuments following the series of Black Lives Matter protests.

Two slave trader statues have already been removed in recent days - one by campaigners at an anti-racism protest in Bristol and another with the approval of a local authority following a petition.

A statue of slave owner Robert Milligan was removed from its position in the docks he founded at West India Quay, east London, on Tuesday.

Will BLM pull down CHURCHES

In many countries Churches were paid for by local wealthy landowners who, more than likely, had connections to the slave trade

Many of the people portrayed in the Bible were from the upper echelons of society and the owners of slaves and also enslaved those in debt to them, bought their fellow citizens' daughters as concubines, and perpetually enslaved foreign men to work on their fields.

During certain reigns, especially those of Solomon and David, statewide slavery was instituted for large building projects or work that was deemed intolerable for free men to do.

Let us NOT forget that most plantation owners, being Christian, provided slaves with Christian names and places of Christian worship in which to convert African slaves from their original beliefs

By attacking anyone and anything connected to slavery:

BLM will no longer be Christians
(Christianity was imposed on black slaves by slave owners)

BLM will no longer use Christian forenames
(Given to slaves by the slave owners)

BLM will no longer use surnames given by slave masters
(Generally the surnames of the slave owners)

BLM have not really put much thought into the far reaching ramifications of destroying all that has taken place and/or been paid for by the slavery of Black Africans

I have noticed that BLM has no interest in helping any modern day slaves, including the Yazidis; drugged up sex slaves; underpaid domestic workers; underpaid and vastly overworked plantation workers; underpaid workers in the clothing industry

Of course no BLM member will ever wear gold or diamonds again due the vastly underpaid, unsafe and unhealthy, slave-like conditions these mine workers are made to endure

That's not what they said in 1862

The Guardian has been accused of hypocrisy for backing the Black Lives Matter protests despite branding Abraham Lincoln 'abhorrent' during the US Civil War

A petition has been launched to 'shut down' The Guardian newspaper over accusations of hypocrisy for backing Black Lives Matter protests, despite branding Abraham Lincoln 'abhorrent' during the US Civil War.

The paper, which was originally called the Manchester Guardian, was founded by John Edward Taylor in 1821 using profits from a cotton plantation that used slaves.

During the United States' Civil War 40 years later, it sided with the southern Confederates against President Lincoln, who wanted slavery abolished.

One extract from the paper on October 10, 1862, read: 'It was an evil day both for America and the world when he was chosen President of the United States.'

A year later it even opposed the Proclamation of Emancipation - which freed slaves - and described the President's time in office after his assassination as 'abhorrent'.

But in recent editorials the paper has tried to mask its past, with headlines such as 'The Guardian view on Colston's statue: a long time in going' and 'The Guardian view on Black Lives Matter worldwide: a common cause'.

Many are baying for statues linked to slavery to be torn down and some have suggested the Guardian should also fall for being on the wrong side of history.

A petition has even been launched now online to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) to 'shut down the newspaper'.

Novelist and journalist Tony Parsons, who organised the petition, tweeted: 'Shameful links to slave-owning Confederate south. Built on the profits of cotton fields. Shut down The Guardian Newspaper.'

The newspaper, which was then called the Manchester Guardian, sided with the Confederates during the US Civil War against the President, who wanted slavery abolished

Mail On Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens added on Twitter: 'I do think this (beautifully honest) confession of the SuperWoke Guardian's support for the slave-owning Confederacy (and its furious loathing for Lincoln) in the American Civil War is one of the great discoveries of the day. ''Who shall 'scape whipping?'''

And freelance journalist Kate Mulvery put: 'Maybe the Guardian should topple - given that its founder made a fortune in the cotton trade - went on the side of the confederates during the American Civil War - oh and denounced Lincoln for freeing slaves.'

Several supporters of the petition have also called out The Guardian's 'hypocrisy' on the editorial stance.

The newspaper was founded by cotton merchant John Edward Taylor in 1819, with his nephew CP Scott going on to become its most celebrated editor.

Taylor's industry thrived on the backs of cotton-picking slaves out of sight and mind in the Americas, and the paper continued its relationship with it after his death in 1844.

The Guardian maintained its relationship with cotton merchant advertisers and even railed against factory workers who refused to touch material picked by US slaves, according to Guido.

The newspaper was founded by cotton merchant John Edward Taylor in 1819, with his nephew CP Scott going on to become its most celebrated editor

During the US Civil War - which lasted from 1861 to 1865 - the newspaper's onslaught against President Lincoln was ramped up.

On January 2, 1863, it accused Lincoln of having 'no desire to abolish slavery except as a means of extrication from the difficulties of government'.

A year and a half later, on November 22, 1864, it claimed: 'Nor is Mr Lincoln's re-election by fraud, violence, and intimidation rendered a matter of comparatively small importance solely by the fact that it reveals nothing with respect to the real wishes and thoughts of the majority of his fellow countrymen.'

And upon hearing Lincoln had been murdered, the newspaper published on April 27, 1865: 'Of his rule we can never speak except as a series of acts abhorrent to every true notion of constitutional right and human liberty.'

In his biography of the Manchester Guardian, David Ayerst noted: 'The Guardian was indeed convinced that the majority of Northerners, so far from having any antipathy to slavery, considered it to be the natural condition of the N**** and were content to profit by it.'

The newspaper has been forced to address its historical choices in recent years, with associate editor and columnist Martin Kettle putting his name to a piece in 2011.

The article's sub-heading uses a phrase strikingly familiar to today, saying: 'The Guardian's stance on the US civil war was of its era.'

The piece goes on to defend the thundering editorial that branded Lincoln 'abhorrent' less than a month after his grisly assassination.

Mr Kettle said the article 'was of its era', writing about 'immensely difficult issues' 'which are as irresolvable and hard to balance today as they were 150 years ago'.

He added: 'He was not to know that later generations would have a different set of priorities.'

This argument that things were different 155 years ago, so should not be judged by today's standards, echoes calls this week from those wanting statues to people linked to slavery to remain in place.

It seems at odds with the Guardian's stance on the recent protests, which saw Colston's statue ripped from its plinth and dumped in the river Avon in Bristol.

Many are baying for statues linked to slavery to be torn down and some have suggested the Guardian should also fall for being on the wrong side of history

The newspaper described this as 'a long time in going' and seems to miss its own point that during Colston's days standards were different.

Many in the public have called for the newspaper to face up to its historical decisions, particularly surrounding the US Civil War.

One person wrote: 'The Guardian, established by a cotton plantation owner using slave labour and being on the side of the Confederates against the abolition of Slavery is still here.

Funny old world

Another posted: 'Same with the guardian for supporting the southern confederates in the civil war and building their brand from it.'

A Twitter user posted: 'Can you please show us how you supported the Confederates and how you called Lincoln an abhorant little man, for freeing the slaves.'

And another added: 'Since we're going back into the past let us not forget that the Guardian newspaper profited from the slave trade, supported the Confederates in the US Civil War, hated President Lincoln and were against the Proclamation of Emancipation!'

The Guardian has also updated its financial contributions request at the bottom of every article in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, adding the paper have covered injustice against ethnic minority communities 'for decades'.

It reads: 'As the world protests … against police violence and racism, the Guardian stands in solidarity with the struggle for truth, humanity and justice.

For decades, we have reported on the brutality that has destroyed the lives of black and minority ethnic citizens around the world. Justice starts with uncovering the truth. That is what we try to do.'

Two groups:

One protects Monuments

One destroys Monuments

Obviously, I support the groups that PROTECT

[Anthea]

FACTS:

Yet more violence which WE the British tax payer will foot the bill for

It is NOT right for British police to be under attack from the general public, while they are doing their duty to protect our monuments

If the BLM were not trying to destroy our monuments then others would not feel the need to protect them

If black lives really mattered to BLM supporters, then those involved would be campaigning to get guns and other weapons off the streets and especially out of the hands of drug gangs

Slavery occurred, it is an historical fact and the past cannot be changed

However, present day slavery could be abolished if groups such as BLM were to campaign against it

Sadly it appears BLM are only interested in causing conflict rather than saving people

Ten years in jail

The Sunday Telegraph leads on a claim that ministers are considering getting tough on protestors who overstep the mark following more violent scenes in the capital yesterday

"Ten years in jail for protestors who desecrate war memorials" is its headline. Ministers have been forced to act, it says, because of pressure from Tory backbenchers to "get a grip" on a situation generating headlines such as "battle of Trafalgar Square" and "face off in Westminster".

The Telegraph's view is that the PM must now take the lead. He must, it says, wrest back from the hands of extremists, a legitimate conversation started in the wake of George Floyd's death. It argues he must do what he did at the last election - speak for the forgotten middle.

Excellent idea

The members of the British police force did not join expecting to have to protect our ancient statues, memorials and cenotaphs from a bunch of brainless savages

And should NOT be physically attacked for doing their jobs

Why do I say brainless:

BLM protests have absolutely NOTHING to do with the death of Mr Floyd

Re attack on Thomas Guy's statue, have any black people ever been refused treatment in Guy's Hospital due to their colour, I think not

Black people in US are there as a result of tribal wars in Africa where powerful BLACK tribes captured members of other BLACK tribes and enslaved them

The Portuguese and the Spanish were heavily involved in the slave trade, does this mean no black person will ever buy Spanish fruit or visit Spain?

Christians used slaves so to follow BLM ideology/lunacy black people cannot be Christians

Rayshard Brooks killing

The first officer to respond the 911 call that resulted in the death of Rayshard Brooks considered just letting the incident go but decided to check one more time on the man whom he found drunk and asleep at the wheel

Brooks was shot dead on Friday June 12 after police were called to the Wendy’s on University Avenue, Atlanta.

Rayshard Brooks was shot dead on Friday June 12 after police were called to the Wendy’s on University Avenue, Atlanta.

An autopsy showed he sustained two gunshot wounds to his back as a stop that had started peaceably escalated into a violent altercation during which Brooks punched one of the officers, stole his taser and started to run.

His death has been ruled a homicide. Garrett Rolfe, 27, the officer who fired the fatal shots has been fired while Officer Devin Brosnan, 26, the first to arrive on the scene, has been placed on administrative duty while the incident is investigated by Georgia Bureau of Investigations.

Now, bodycam footage reviewed by DailyMail.com, has revealed just how close Brosnan came to letting the incident slide as he can be heard asking himself, ‘Do I want to deal with this dude right now?’ before reluctantly getting out of his patrol car.

Officer Garrett Rolfe, who pulled the trigger, was fired but has not been charged. Prosecutors say he may be charged as soon as Wednesday. Devin Brosnan has been placed on administrative leave. Brosnan watched as Brooks overshot the parking space into which he pulled. The officer got back into his patrol car and asked himself, ‘Do I want to deal with this dude right now?’

Brosnan had just witnessed Brooks ploughing over the curb of the parking space into which he asked him to pull. He had already had to wake him twice having found Brooks asleep at the wheel of his car in the drive-thru lane.

Bodycam footage of the first minutes of the call-out showed Brosnan trying to wake Brooks before asking him to pull into a parking space to allow traffic to flow.

Brosnan returned to his car and waited only for Brooks to fall asleep once more. He later told Officer Rolfe that he could immediately smell the alcohol on Brooks’s breath.

Brosnan watched as Brooks then overshot the parking space into which he pulled. The officer got back into his patrol car and asked himself, ‘Do I want to deal with this dude right now?’

After one minute he walked over to Brook’s car, looked in the window and saw that he was asleep once more.

The officer got back into his patrol car and hesitated for a full two minutes before sighing and deciding that he had to check on Brooks once more.

He returned to Brooks and asked, ‘Hey man, are you good? Because you were passed out before. I just want to check you’re okay. Why did you fall asleep?’

Brooks responded semi-coherently, ‘I was doing about fifty.’

Which prompted Brosnan to ask, ‘How much have you had to drink tonight?’

Across the rest of the stop – which lasted approximately twenty minutes and during which Officer Rolfe arrived at around 10.56 – Brooks made a variety of conflicting statement regarding his alcohol consumption.

Asked repeatedly he said by turns that he had had one margharita, one and a half margheritas, no margheritas, a daiquiri and no daiquiri.

He was unable to state where he was, initially believing himself to be in Forestpark, Clayton County some nine miles away and claimed to have not been driving at all despite the fact that he had been found alone in the car, behind the wheel.

Rayshard Brooks' widow Tomika Miller said on Monday that it would take a 'long time' for their family to heal. She spoke while holding one of his three daughters

Though muddled he remained polite throughout questioning and compliant during both a field sobriety test and preliminary breathalyzer.

But when Rolfe began to cuff him having stated, ‘I think you’ve had too much to drink,’ the footage showed Brooks suddenly struggle and scuffle ensued during which an officer can be heard shouting, ‘Hands off the f***ing taser. He’s got the taser!’

Surveillance footage taken from the Wendy’s drive-thru showed Brooks attempting to run with Rolfe in pursuit. Brooks appeared to turn and shoot the taser at which point Rolfe can be seen dropping his own, unholstering his gun and firing.

The death has caused outrage, coming as it does in the wake of 46-year-old father of five, George Floyd’s killing which has seen protests and calls to defund the police have swept the nation.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard has said that having reviewed the evidence so far it would be hard for Rolfe to argue self-defense in his use of lethal force.

'There's one good thing about video,' said Howard, referring to surveillance camera footage obtained by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI).

'Because in the video we actually get a chance to hear the officer's first statement after the shooting took place.

'And what the officer said is not that his life was saved.

As he's running away from Rolfe, Brooks is seen turning around and pointing a Taser gun at the cop. That is what prompted Rolfe to shoot him twice in the back

'What his statement was, he said: "I got him".'

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Howard said '(Brooks) did not seem to present any kind of threat to anyone, and so the fact that it would escalate to his death just seems unreasonable.

'If that shot was fired for some reason other than to save that officer’s life or prevent injury to him or others, then that shooting is not justified under the law.'

Howard said there were three charges which were 'relevant' in the case and could be filed.

'One would be the murder charge in the state of Georgia,' he said.

'That charge is a charge that is directly related to an intent to kill.

'The second charge is felony murder. And that is a charge that involves a death that comes as a result of the commission of an underlying felony, and in this case, that underlying felony would be aggravated assault.'

He said his office was unlikely to pursue the third charge, aggravated assault.

'I believe in this instance, what we have to choose between — if there’s a choice to be made — is between murder and felony murder.'

Brooks with Miller and three of his four daughters. She said she now feels like a 'statistic' having been rendered a single black mother by the cops' killing her husband

Rolfe had been recently trained in de-escalation tactics, according to his department record.

In addition to the de-escalation training, he took coursework in April in cultural awareness. This past January, he passed a course entitled 'Use of Deadly Force.'

Rolfe has also had multiple courses in tactical team operations and firearms training.

Brosnan was employed by Atlanta Police Department in 2018. Before that he served as a Campus Police Officer at Cape Cod Community College, Massachusetts.

Brooks was a married father of four children - three girls of his own, aged eight, two and one, and a 13-year-old stepson.

His attorney, L. Chris Stewart, said that on Friday, shortly before his death, Brooks was celebrating his eldest daughter's eighth birthday with her at an arcade

Idiotic BLM people should be concentrating on making the US police more accountable in the deaths of innocent people such as George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks

NOT trying to attack UK memorials, which is a complete farce as in cases such as planning to attack Thomas Guy's statue

Thomas Guy's largest memorial is Guy's Hospital, do BLM people intend to knock that down?

Would black people really refuse treatment in Guy's hospital?

Re Spanish involvement in the slave trade, will black people refuse to eat Spanish fruit, wear Spanish clothes or holiday in Spain?

The BIG questions are:

Will black people stop being Christians
Will black people stop using Christian forenames
Will black people stop using surnames given to them as property of slave owners

BLM should do something POSITIVE and take guns off the streets

Man carried to
safety by protester

A man who was carried to safety by a Black Lives Matter protester would like to thank his rescuer, it has been reported



Bryn Male, 55, made global headlines after he was saved by Patrick Hutchinson, a personal trainer and grandfather, from harm during violent protests in central London over the weekend.

Mr Male, a delivery driver who is also a grandfather, was one of hundreds of counter-protesters who gathered in central London with the stated aim of protecting statues from vandalism.

A Black Lives Matter protest had been scheduled on the same day but was cancelled, leaving the counter protesters - many of whom were far right activists - to clash with police and a small number of BLM protesters.

Mr Male was caught up in a clash with the BLM protesters, leaving him with a black eye, and Mr Hutchinson was able to rescue him from the fray.

Now he wants to thank Mr Hutchinson for saving him, his son Harry Male told The Sun.

The 21-year-old said: "He probably would, who wouldn't?"

He was saved by a group of 'overseers' (Getty Images)

Mr Male has also been revealed as a Millwall fan, with pictures showing him with a tattoo of a large Millwall lion emblem on his leg.

137 arrests were made following the protest, including a 28-year-old man who urinated next to a memorial to PC Keith Palmer and was later jailed.

Mr Hutchinson formed a group with four of his friends, who are part of London-based close protection group Ark Security, to protect young Black Lives Matter protesters from getting caught up in the violence at the protests.

Daughters of Black Lives Matter hero Patrick Hutchinson share pride at lifesaver dad

They took it upon themselves to be the “overseers” at the protest, to make sure those who needed help were taken safely to emergency service workers.

The group spotted a lone white man being dragged by young black protesters through a crowd and thrown on the steps near the Royal Festival Hall.

“His life was under threat so I just went and scooped him up, put him over my shoulder, and started marching towards the police with him,” Mr Hutchinson told Channel 4 News.

Many top BLM idiots are trained Marxists who lead weak minded people along like a dog herding sheep

BLM supporters have been manipulated into an anti slavery protest and have almost forgotten that the reason for the recent protests was the shameful murder of George Floyd

Nobody as yet appears to protest the African involvement in the slave trade:

The Ashanti were known as slave owners and traders

The Ashanti’s long-time ally, the Akwamu, were among the first ones to profit from the slave trade with the Europeans

Their captives were almost always prisoners of war, but they were not above to selling Akwamu men who offended the chief

They also kidnapped able-bodied men from other tribes and sold them in the coastal slave markets

Let us NOT forget the Ottoman Empire was the largest slave trader/owner ever but I have not seen anyone protesting against it

Where is BLM Money?

US Democratic National Committee appear to have connection to Marxism by Laundering Money Through Black Lives Matter

Last year, there were a lot of overseas donations from foreign entities to Democrats including former presidential candidates such as Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, and Adam Schiff, but ther were a number of others as well.

It appears as though the BlackLivesMatter.com website that it is an international money laundering scheme and a front for the DNC to generate money from people across the world. What do I mean by that? Let me explain.

Basically, people all over the world are involved in the Black Lives Matter movement going on in America right now. This attracts people from different countries and they then donate to the cause.

According to the BlackLivesMatter.com website,

#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.

Okay, so it's established that it is a global organization.

Next, when you click on "Donate" you're taken to the proper page and there is a little "Contribution rules" section. You'll see at the bottom that ActBlue Charities is a 501(c)(3) qualified organization.

However, and here comes the good part…when you look up their expenditures, that is of ActBlue, here is what you find:

The largest part of their funds goes toward Democratic Presidential campaigns and the DNC specifically.

Wake up people. ActBlue is not a charity. Democrats are leveraging the Black Lives Matter organization to funnel money internationally to fund the DNC.

Reds Exploiting Blacks:
The Roots of Black Lives Matter
by James Simpson on January 12, 2016

This is a report from the AIM Center for Investigative Journalism

The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) casts itself as a spontaneous uprising born of inner city frustration, but is, in fact, the latest and most dangerous face of a web of well-funded communist/socialist organizations that have been agitating against America for decades.

Its agitation has provoked police killings and other violence, lawlessness and unrest in minority communities throughout the U.S. If allowed to continue, that agitation could devolve into anarchy and civil war. The BLM crowd appears to be spoiling for just such an outcome.

Nevertheless, BLM appears to be exercising considerable leverage over the Democratic Party, in part by pressuring and intimidating Democratic candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (VT) into embracing their cause. The movement could also assist President Obama’s exploitation of racial divisions in society beyond his final term in office.

This report examines in detail, for the first time, how communist groups have manipulated the cause of Black Lives Matter, and how money from liberal foundations has made it all possible.

Leftist Origins

Exploiting blacks to promote Marxist revolution is an old tactic. The late Larry Grathwohl, former FBI informant in the Weather Underground, understood from personal experience how white communists exploited blacks and other minority groups. He said that Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn regarded Barack Obama, whose political career they sponsored, as a tool—a puppet—to use against white America. Obama’s legacy at home will certainly include more racial division.

BLM launched in 2013 with a Twitter hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter, after neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman was acquitted in the Trayvon Martin killing. Radical Left activists Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi claim credit for the slogan and hashtag.

Following the Michael Brown shooting in August 2014, Dream Defenders, an organization led by Working Families Party (ACORN) activist and Occupy Wall Street anarchist Nelini Stamp, popularized the phrase “Hands Up–Don’t Shoot!” which has since become BLM’s widely recognized slogan.

Garza, Cullors and Tometi both work for front groups of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), one of the four largest radical Left organizations in the country. The others are the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS). Nelini Stamp’s ACORN—now rebranded under a variety of different names—works with all four organizations, and Dream Defenders is backed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center and others.

FRSO is a hereditary descendant of the New Communist Movement, which was inspired by Mao and the many communist revolutions throughout the world in the 1960s and 1970s. FRSO split into two separate groups in 1999, FRSO/Fight Back and FRSO/OSCL (Freedom Road Socialist Organization/Organizaci?n Socialista del Camino para la Libertad). Black Lives Matter and its founders are allied with the latter group. Future references to FRSO in this article refer to FRSO/OSCL.

FRSO is comprised of dozens of groups. The radical Left model is based on alliances of many organizations that are working on separate issues but dedicated ultimately to the same thing: overthrowing our society in order to replace it with a hardcore socialist (read communist) one.

The goal is to present the appearance of a formidable mass of organizations. Some are large, but many are little more than a website or Facebook page. When necessary, they can all come together to promote the cause du jour. The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and others were mere pretexts for socialist agitation. The real enemy is “the system.” This is why the BLM crowd denies the facts of those cases. As Stamp has said, “we are actually trying to change the capitalist system we have today because it’s not working for any of us.”

BLM is one of many projects undertaken by the FRSO. Except for the website, blacklivesmatter.com, there is no actual organization. The website implicitly acknowledges this, describing #BlackLivesMatter as “an online forum intended to build connections between Black people and our allies to fight anti-Black racism, to spark dialogue among Black people, and to facilitate the types of connections necessary to encourage social action and engagement.”

FRSO membership is disproportionately represented by blacks, gays and women, and self-consciously emphasizes those issues. Garza, who penned a “Herstory” of BLM, is a “queer,” black veteran activist involved in numerous FRSO organizations. Her resumé includes:

Cullors describes herself as a “working class, queer, black woman.” She claims the country killed her father, a drug addict. At a 2015 Netroots Nation conference, Cullors led chants shouting, “If I die in police custody, burn everything down… rise the fuck up! That is the only way motherfuckers like you will listen!” Cullors founded and directs Dignity and Power Now (DPN), which claims to seek “dignity and power of incarcerated people, their families, and communities.”

Cullors was trained by Eric Mann, a former Weather Underground leader who exhorts followers to become “anti-racist, anti-imperialist” activists. Mann runs another FRSO front, the Labor/Community Strategy Center. Like most professional leftists, he makes good money—over $225,000 annually—living in “the system” he advocates destroying.

Tometi is the daughter of illegal aliens from Nigeria. While in college, she worked for the ACLU defending illegal aliens against “vigilantes” opposed to illegal immigration. She is currently the executive director of Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI).

The Funding

FRSO/BLM organizations are generously supported by a universe of wealthy foundations. Some, like those employing BLM founders Garza and Tometi, receive money directly. Others, like Cullors’ DPN, are financed by organizations designed specifically to underwrite the activities of others. Amounts reflect donations received over approximately the past decade.

NDWA (Garza)—2013 revenues were $5.5 million. The NDWA board includes two members of CASA de Maryland, the Illegals’ version of ACORN. CASA also received a grant from NDWA in 2013, as did the radical Left Institute for Policy Studies. NDWA receives funding from the following foundations:

NDWA

POWER (Garza)—2013 revenues were $456,676, including $92,173 in government grants. POWER evolved from the now defunct communist group STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement). Obama’s former “Green Jobs Czar” the self-described communist, Van Jones, served on STORM’s board.

POWER

RTTC (Garza)—2013 revenues were $248,190. RTTC is a nationwide network of activist organizations that resists the gentrification of inner cities because it displaces “low-income people, people of color, marginalized LGBTQ communities, and youths of color…”

RTTC

SOUL (Garza)—Despite its small size (2013 revenues at $110,304), SOUL claims to have trained 679 organizers in 2013.

SOUL

BAJI (Tometi)—2013 revenues were $321,570. This modest organization only lists two full-time staff, yet receives support from many recognizable foundations.

BAJI

Cullors’ DPN is underwritten by Community Partners, a Los Angeles based non-profit with a $24 million budget (including $4 million in government grants) that fiscally sponsors non-profits. It is not an FRSO organization.

Advancement Project (AP)—an FRSO group that funds a variety of radical causes. AP sees America as a racist, oppressive nation and, according to Discover the Networks, “works to organize ‘communities of color’ into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department.” Its 2013 revenues were $11.3 million.

Advancement Project

Movement Strategy Center (MSC)—also facilitates funding, development and advancement of FRSO organizations. Its 2013 revenues were $7.5 million, including $156,032 in government grants.

MSC

The Return of Van Jones

Mainstream funders have helped fund BLM as well. For example, United Way has partnered with A&E and iHeartMedia to create Shining the Light Advisors, a committee of “nationally known experts and leaders in racial and social justice,” to oversee grant disbursements. These “advisors” include such radicals as Van Jones, Advancement Project co-director Judith Browne Dianis, and Rinku Sen, president of the Applied Research Center (ARC).

Fergusl FRSO BannerBLM’s mission includes a kitchen sink of favored radical Left causes, including support of poverty elimination programs, prison deinstitutionalization, illegal immigration and gay rights. Highlighting FRSO’s orientation toward gay blacks, it describes how “Black, queer and trans folks bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us, and that is state violence.”

Its wide network of affiliates and partner organizations like CPUSA and ACORN allows BLM to turn out large crowds. Many participate simply to protest, commit violence, loot or all three.

FRSO was prominent at the Ferguson protests and videoed the event. It has even created a Black Lives Matter button. Following are more FRSO organizations involved with BLM. (Funding estimates provided when known).

Black Left Unity—A Marxist/Leninist organization that supports favored causes of the communist Left, including unity with Cuba, war against capitalism and Occupy Wall Street

Black Workers for Justice—A North Carolina-based group which claims to struggle on behalf of “oppressed nationalities,” etc

Causa Justa/Just Cause—A Black/Latino solidarity organization allied with the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, RTTC and others. Its 2013 revenues were $1.6 million, including $689,484 in government grants

Grassroots Global Justice Alliance (GGJ)—“a national alliance of US-based grassroots organizing (GRO) groups organizing to build an agenda for power for working and poor people and communities of color

Hands Up United—Works for “liberation of oppressed Black, Brown, and poor people through education, art, civil disobedience, advocacy, and agriculture.”

Intelligent Mischief—Their Black Body Survival Guide is in the works and has raised over $8,000 through IndieGoGo

Organization for Black Struggle (OBS)—This organization is affiliated with the CPUSA. Its website claims its allies as Black Workers for Justice and the Advancement Project. Chaired by FRSO member Montague Simmons

Revolutionary Student Coordinating Committee (RSCC) a militant group founded in 2012 by CUNY students. It is networked at different U.S. colleges. This group organized the infamous pro-abortion “Hail Satan” chant at Texas capital

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a “national network of groups and individuals organizing White people for racial justice.” SURJ quotes Garza saying that “We need you defecting from White supremacy and changing the narrative of White supremacy by breaking White silence.”

Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education (SCOPE)—Its 2013 revenues were $2.8 million. Led by Anthony Thigpenn, a former Black Panther and board member of the Apollo Alliance. Apollo is the secretive alliance of labor, environment and other Left activists that formulated Obama’s trillion dollar “stimulus” plan. Board member Van Jones described Apollo “as sort of a grand unified field theory for progressive Left causes.” It is now a project of the Blue Green Alliance.

SCOPE

Obama handshakeBLM groups have also joined with CPUSA, CCDS, DSA, SEIU, Color of Change and many others. Anarchist and top OWS organizer Lisa Fithian, who orchestrated the 1999 Seattle World Trade Organization riots, trained Ferguson protesters. Fithian says “Create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible.”

Fithian echoes Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven—creators of the infamous Cloward/Piven Crisis Strategy—who spent decades attempting to provoke ghetto blacks to riot, because “Poor people can advance only when ‘the rest of society is afraid of them.’” Rasheen Aldridge, seen above meeting President Obama, was a leader of the Ferguson protests. He has participated in numerous CPUSA events in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Another prominent CPUSA member active in BLM protests is Michael McPhearson, who leads the Don’t Shoot Coalition.

Carl Davidson and Pat Fry, co-chairs of CCDS, exploited the revolutionary atmosphere of the Ferguson riots to create an eight-point plan for “Left Unity” demanding “a common aspiration for socialism.”

Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) is Missouri’s rebranded ACORN group. It created an illustrative chart offering a snapshot of the Left’s grievance agenda. Capitalism is always the problem. Socialism is always the solution.

Corporate Capitalism

Interestingly, MORE doesn’t believe in socialism when it is footing the bill. MORE promised to pay Ferguson protesters $5,000/month to hang out and cause trouble. But just as ACORN stiffed its employees while preaching socialist generosity, MORE stiffed the protesters.

Islamist organizations have also jumped on the BLM bandwagon, reminding us of the unholy alliance that exists between them and the radical Left. In September 2015, the Muslim Brotherhood front-group Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) joined BLM activists in storming California Governor Jerry Brown’s office. CAIR also participated in the Ferguson protests. Meanwhile ISIS is recruiting American blacks for its cause.

Intellectual Genealogy of Black Lives Matter

“We must be ready to employ trickery, deceit, law-breaking, withholding and concealing truth… We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.”—Vladimir Lenin

That quote from the Soviet Union’s first leader captures the entire essence of the Left’s strategy. No matter what the issue, no matter what the facts, the Left advances a relentless, hate-filled narrative that America is irredeemably evil and must be destroyed as soon as possible. The BLM movement is only the latest but perhaps most dangerous variant on this divisive theme.

Communists use language and psychology as weapons. Their constant vilification is a form of psychological terror. It puts America and Americans on trial. The verdict is always guilty. Facts don’t matter because the Left does not want to resolve the problems they complain about. They use those problems to agitate and provoke, hoping conflict becomes unavoidable—thereby creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their hatred is tactical.

Obama’s favorite Harvard professor Derrick Bell devised Critical Race Theory, which exemplifies Lenin’s strategy as applied to race. According to Discover the Networks:

“Critical race theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation’s legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid … members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing…”

Bell’s theory is in turn an innovation of Critical Theory—developed by philosophers of the communist Frankfurt School. The school was founded in Frankfurt, Germany in 1923. Its Jewish communist scholars fled Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s, relocating to Columbia Teachers College in New York. Critical Theory—which discredits all aspects of Western society—rapidly infected the minds of newly-minted college professors, who then spread its poison throughout the university system. We know it today as political correctness.

White Privilege

The “racist” narrative was turbocharged with the concept of “White Privilege,” the notion that whites—the dominant group in capitalist America—are irretrievably racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, fill-in-the-blank-ophobic, imperialistic oppressors who exploit everyone. Whites are the only true evil in the world and should be exterminated.

Race Traitor The “White Skin Privilege” idea was created in 1967 by Noel Ignatiev, an acolyte of Bell and professor at Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute (Du Bois was a Communist black leader who helped found the NAACP). Ignatiev was a member of CPUSA’s most radical wing, the Maoist/Stalinist Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (POC). POC was the intellectual forerunner to FRSO.

Writing under the alias Noel Ignatin, Ignatiev co-authored an SDS pamphlet with fellow radical Ted Allen, titled White Blindspot. In 1992 he co-founded Race Traitor: Journal of the New Abolitionism. Its first issue coined the slogan, “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” Its stated objective was to “abolish the white race.” More specifically, the New Abolitionist newsletter stated:

“The way to abolish the white race is to challenge, disrupt and eventually overturn the institutions and behavior patterns that reproduce the privileges of whiteness, including the schools, job and housing markets, and the criminal justice system. The abolitionists do not limit themselves to socially acceptable means of protest, but reject in advance no means of attaining their goal (emphasis added).”

But do not be confused; “White” does not mean white. “White” in radical construction means anyone of any race, creed, nationality, color, sex, or sexual preference who embraces capitalism, free markets, limited government and American traditional culture and values. By definition, these beliefs are irredeemably evil and anyone who aligns with them is “white” in spirit and thus equally guilty of “white crimes.” Ignatiev still teaches, now at the Massachusetts College of Art.

The Black Lives Matter movement carries this narrative to unprecedented heights, claiming that only whites can be racists. And while justifying violence to achieve “social justice,” the movement’s goal is to overthrow our society to replace it with a Marxist one. Many members of the black community would be shocked to learn that the intellectual godfathers of this movement are mostly white Communists, “queers” and leftist Democrats, intent on making blacks into cannon fodder for the revolution.

BLM Co-Founder Admits:
Our Goal Is To Get Trump Out

Admitted that BLM is actually a Marxist organization

While massive protests continue to rage across the country (and beyond) in the name of George Floyd, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted during a Friday night interview with CNN that “our goal is to get Trump out.”

Cullors, who described BLM organizers in 2015 as “trained Marxists,” compared Trump to Hitler after refusing to meet with him, and referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the Gestapo, told CNN‘s Jake Tapper (via Breitbart‘s Josh Caplan):

JAKE TAPPER: I’ve heard a lot of criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden from civil rights activists. The election, obviously, will be a choice. How do you think Biden matches up compared to President Trump when it comes to these issues that are important to you?

PATRISSE CULLORS: Trump not only needs to not be in office in November but he should resign now. Trump needs to be out of office. He is not fit for office. And so what we are going to push for is a move to get Trump out. While we’re also going to continue to push and pressure vice president Joe Biden around his policies and relationship to policing and criminalization. That’s going to be important. But our goal is to get Trump out.

In 2015, Cullors said that BLM would take “any opportunity we have to shut down a Republican convention.”

Was Tucker Carlson right when he said (and was punished with an advertiser walkout from the ‘cancel’ crew at Sleeping Giants) that Black Lives Matter is now a political party.

“Black [Lives] Matter is more popular by double digits than both the Democratic and Republican parties.

It is almost as popular as the U.S. military. It is much more popular than the pope.”@TuckerCarlson warns that the Black Lives Matter movement wields significant influence. pic.twitter.com/1AhsGqHBzo

Black Live Matter has been exposed as nothing more than a terrorist organization, even now trying to extort billions of dollars.
