Watching Drew Brees Recant: Thoughtcrime comes to America


Now ordinary, silent Americans are guilty, too. Silence means “complicity,” and the Left’s “cure” is “re-education” and “denunciation.”

Watching Drew Brees Recant: Thoughtcrime comes to AmericaBuildings alone were not the only things set ablaze during the “George Floyd Protests”—social media torched free expression and demanded renunciations.

An America that once revered disagreement and debate has fallen into imposing mandatory silence upon differing viewpoints. Those who do not bow (kneel?) to political correctness face “re-education,” in the same way that the old Soviet Union arrested opponents and exiled them to the Gulag. Today, in the Gulag’s place, we have social media hate and condemnation.

Cancel Culture Crowd

After earlier sharing a message of unity, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees attracted a backlash last week, when he reiterated his stance that he will “never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America.” The full quote: “I love and respect my teammates, and I stand right there with them fighting for racial equality and justice. I also stand with my grandfathers, who risked their lives for this country, and countless other military men and women who do it on a daily basis.”

The second episode of social media excoriation involved “progressive” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey being met with a chorus of boos for not being radical enough when he told a group of Black Lives Matter demonstrators on Saturday that he did not support abolishing the city police department. Frey was promptly asked to leave by the crowd, and the ironic, delicious moment occurred in which his destructive political career ended. Of course, Frey will be given the chance to recant, and denounce himself, and the weasel carpetbagger mayor will be welcomed back into the good graces of the “Cancel Culture” crowd.

What amazes about Brees’ apology was the lengths he went to beg forgiveness of his black teammates and the city for which he plays professional football and that has a significant African American population.

In eight paragraphs on Instagram, Brees acknowledged he had made a mistake to show respect to everyone, and not exclusively black people.

Among his comments, Brees said,

“it breaks my heart to know the pain I have caused.”

“I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark.”

“They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy. Instead, those words have become divisive and hurtful.”

“I acknowledge that…. (I) have not done enough to fight for that equality or to truly understand the struggles and plight of the black community.”

One would think denouncing himself would satisfy the mob, nevertheless he felt the need to lambaste the country that made him wealthy because of his ability to throw a tight spiral.

“I stand with the black community in the fight against systemic racial injustice and police brutality. I condemn the years of oppression that have taken place throughout our black communities and still exists today.”

The political indoctrination on college campuses with “safe spaces,” and in government public schools is now bleeding into mainstream America

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey experienced his own sudden whiplash with the Far Left. Frey, who grew up in a Washington, D.C. suburb, ran for city council in 2013 and won. He pushed for “affordable housing” and promised to address climate change, obviously a key issue in frigid Minnesota. According to reports, there has not been a Republican on Minneapolis City Council for more than 50 years, so obviously Democrats have presided over a half century of police brutality and racism before Frey flipped.

The political indoctrination on college campuses with “safe spaces,” and in government public schools is now bleeding into mainstream America. Brees committed the “sin” of being “politically incorrect,” and under pressure “repented” of his “thoughtcrime.” In his classic book, 1984, George Orwell coined the word ‘thoughtcrime’ to describe a person’s unapproved, unspoken beliefs that contradict the government and the Party’s control of the citizenry.

Black Lives Matter and Antifa will not accept that America and no place really save Heaven is perfect. In the Preamble to the United States Constitution, the Founders wrote, “We The People, of the United State of America, in order to form a more-perfect union.” So, from the very beginning, Americans believed their country could do better. Slavery was ended after the Civil War. We had a Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s because the promise of equality eluded black Americans. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., by non-violence, won a national debate, arguing that America must pay black Americans the promissory note of equal rights, but not special rights.

Now ordinary, silent Americans are guilty, too. Silence means “complicity,” and the Left’s “cure” is “re-education” and “denunciation.”

Americans once peaceably debated the nature of freedom and liberty, and how we ought to govern ourselves. This was America’s defining glory. But over the last 70 years, we have lost the ability to disagree with each other and have our own opinions, much less talk politics to our friends and family.

Drew Brees was silenced, but even that was insufficient; he had to renounce his patriotism. Now ordinary, silent Americans are guilty, too. Silence means “complicity,” and the Left’s “cure” is “re-education” and “denunciation.”

Calling someone a racist is the ultimate silencing. This pernicious word is a political weapon designed to create division and stifle debate. And who is a racist? Anyone who opposes the Left’s “radical transformation” of the United States into a socialist paradise. Here are some examples of this type of racism: Anybody who wants to secure America’s borders and limit immigration. Anybody who wants only U.S. citizens to vote in American elections. Anybody who opposes free health insurance for illegal aliens. Anybody who opposes “defunding the police.”

Dr. King’s standard of trying to love everybody and judging people on the “content of their character, rather than the color of their skin” looks about right.

The War has Come – Agreement and Cooperation are ‘Essential’ Tasks in Reclaiming our Republic!


Unity is an “essential” objective to counter all domestic threats, and unity will create a foundation for victory in the battles of 2020

The War has Come - Agreement and Cooperation are Essential Tasks in Reclaiming our Republic!

In July of last year, I offered a perspective in an article entitled ‘The Value of Agreement and Cooperation in the Coming War’. There are many in America who are aware we are in a war, and then there are many who are clueless with regard to such a perception. Such a statement is not intended to be judgemental of the clueless. But, for those still unaware of the war, recent events are good indications of major tremors or disruptions of the relative cultural calm and social fabric. But, it may be that only now, after all of the violence that has torn communities and the nation apart, more people are becoming fully cognizant of ‘the war.’ Nevertheless, there are also many who remain in denial, and for some it is on purpose, not because of cluelessness.

Hypocrisy is easy to identify and it reeks: COVID-19 & George Floyd Riots

The United States has just been ravaged by the COVID-19 Pandemic, but possibly less due to the disease and more due to reactions based on theories of the potential harm to the society from a highly contagious and deadly disease. Now, citizens are witnessing an odd phenomenon of the protests and rioting dissipating the fears over COVID-19. Outbreaks of coronavirus should have occurred across the nation since the end of May. At least, this would have been the outcry if the protestors were Christians, conservatives or patriots marching in the streets and demanding momentary attention.

Hypocrisy is easy to identify. Children can detect hypocrisy when their parents prohibit them from doing any activity that the parents engage in themselves. Teenagers who have parents who smoke can detect the hypocrisy when they are told not to take up smoking. It is the “do as I say, not as I do” phenomenon. Democrat officials and politicians were observed in the act of supporting the demonstrations and protests against the unjust killing of George Floyd. Yet, the week before they were condemning Christians for wanting to congregate. Even some of the Democrat authorities had churchgoers who violated their lockdowns fined and had some ministers arrested.

Hypocrisy is easy to identify and it reeks. But, this latest round of obvious hypocrisy is over the top—more than simple hypocrisy or truly blatant double standards being employed. COVID-19 set the stage for mild resistance to the lockdown orders, but people who engaged in various types of protests across the nation were respectful of the laws, and to some extent even willing to agree to the mandated social distancing and wearing of protective masks. Even then, several Democrat leaders were sharply critical of these people ‘endangering the society’ at large. They were trashed by Democrat leaders and their sycophants as being selfish and irresponsible. Yet, ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’ It does not matter what the justification may be – it’s Hypocrisy!

End funding or reduce funding of the police forces: This is now the political move that Leftists, Progressives, Socialists, and especially anarchists agree with

Hypocrisy is obvious, but it has no meaning to people who have no values. The demonstrations that started out peaceful were hijacked by the lawless elements within various cities. In fact, it even appears that the Democrat leaders and their sycophants support the violence. The basic justification is that police brutality and cops killing blacks must end. And one of the latest calls by Democrat leaders and their sycophants is to end funding or reduce funding of the police forces in cities all across America. This is now the political move that Leftists, Progressives, Socialists, and especially anarchists agree with. It fits right alongside taking away guns from law-abiding citizens. Both initiatives have the intent of rendering regular citizens helpless or defenseless against the lawless.

Hypocrisy is one thing, but enabling those who obey no law is an entirely different dimension of white collar crime in America. Elected officials who would be willing to expose those law-abiding citizens to those who obey no law have little regard for the Constitution and the civil society it is intended to ensure. Stripping citizens of proper protection from the lawless transforms elected officials who advocate such measures into criminals in their own right.  Citizens pay the salaries of elected officials through the taxes they give to the federal, state, and municipal governments. So, rendering law-abiding citizens defenseless in such a toxic political environment is criminal. It justifies stealing from the citizens for personal or political power, and such actions aid and abet criminals. Maybe that is the whole point.

Domestic enemies have no true values. Those who are aware of this war, should understand. It matters not whether the criminal is elected or a street thug—breaking the law reveals that both have little respect for the law and few real values. This is because American values are actually at the heart of this war. What American citizens value, or do not value, is one of the most crucial factors that will determine the outcome of this war.

Do Americans still care enough to keep the Republic for which so many gave their lives?

 

Today, it is American soil that has been occupied, and never before in our history has such a truly formidable enemy been arrayed against our Republic

On Saturday, Americans remembered those who gave their lives on beaches in Normandy to liberate France from Nazi occupation. D-Day on June 6, 1944, was the beginning of the end for the tyranny that had swept across Europe in that time. Yet through dedicated agreement and absolute cooperation between the Allies, D-Day was the beginning of the end for tyranny’s grip on Europe. Today, it is American soil that has been occupied, and never before in our history has such a truly formidable enemy been arrayed against our Republic.

While President Trump is capable of doing a lot, he can do only so much without support from the people. He is actually the principal target of domestic enemies—he has been since before his victory in 2016.

Americans must rise up in this time to work together in a D-Day-like cooperative assault to fight back and reclaim our Republic from criminals. Agreement on all genuine threats to the Republic is “essential” in working together. Genuine agreement between true allies in this war is also vital. American citizens are not each other’s enemies. Working in agreement and cooperation creates unity. And, unity has to be at the core of the efforts of the Christian, conservative, and patriotic groups fighting for the values that our forefathers were willing to fight for and die to secure. Unity is an “essential” objective to counter all domestic threats, and unity will create a foundation for victory in the battles of 2020.

Governments Moving to Compel Tracking & Tracing to Control Everyone


Spain is in Partnership with Bill Gates


The new law in Spain for the “new normality” has been approved. Spain is in full partnership with Bill Gates. They’ve hammered out some of the final details of the rules. Spain will no longer be a destination for tourists. They are clearly cutting off 12% of GDP just to start.

So, masks are obligatory in all closed spaces (work, office, schools, transport, shops, etc… even at home when you receive friends/family who are not living with you in the same household – LOL), in cars when there is more than one person inside, and also outside on the streets and parks etc when one cannot maintain at all times a distance of at least 1.5 meters from other people. So, those living in rural areas or in small villages can, I suppose, go out without a mask. Tough luck in the crowded cities. The fine is 100 euro for not wearing a mask.
Also, everywhere one must keep 1.5 m “social distance”.

And now the best: these rules are in vigor UNTIL THERE IS A VACCINE. So, masks (and “social distancing”) forever in Spain.

On top of this, all transport companies offering transport between cities and provinces (i.e. buses, trains, planes, ships, etc) will have to get the name and contact of the passengers and give the records to the government when requested. So, it will be impossible to even travel between various parts of the country without the govt knowing exactly where you went, how long, etc. We were infinitely more free in communism in Central Europe than this!

Oh, the govt also updated the criminal laws to include some new “hate crimes” to the long list of “hate crimes” already inserted in the Spanish and pretty much all European criminal  codes. Now they’ve added, among others, “social exclusion” and “aversion to poor people” to the list. Yeah, so if you exclude someone from your social activities because you don’t like them, it’s a hate crime, I suppose. And if you have aversion to poor people, it’s a hate crime too. (“Hate crimes”, this most vile and unjust of all the PC/marxist inventions that have completely destroyed justice in Europe, are punished with much harsher sentences – and much longer jail terms – than other – i.e. real – crimes.)

PS. From July 1 tourists will be allowed to come to some areas of Spain (Balearic islands will be the first) BUT of course they will also have to wear masks and be “socially distanced” at all times, AND they will have to pass health checks at airports (upon landing) which, as a minimum, will include temperature measuring and filling out a health questionnaire. (I guess those who happen to have slightly higher temperature will be forcibly quarantined or sent back.) Good luck with getting any tourists! What sort of moron would pay to go on such a holiday in hell?

Since they’ve done nothing to stop the non-socially distanced mass “protests” against “racism” where thousands of people are tightly packed in main squares (Madrid, Barcelona, etc), and in fact the govt and the MSM are supporting these, it should at the very latest now be very obvious to everyone that all of this is a total fraud and BS. But the vast majority of people are so dumb these days they just accept and parrot everything the media and govt tells them.
There’s no hope left…

Antifa Activists Take Over Six City Blocks in Seattle Washington – Create Lawless “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone”…


It is really quite stunning how the U.S. media have avoided reporting on a group of activists in Seattle who have taken over part of the city surrounding the abandoned East precinct police station.  No-one is being allowed inside what they are calling a “Free Capitol Hill Zone” or “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).

The activists have barricaded the streets and will not let any journalists or city officials inside their declared zone of control.  The region expands across six blocks as outlined by the occupying groups.  Information on the encampment AVAILABLE HERE:

According to the area activists the East precint of the police station is called the “captured regime” (above blue). Journalist Julio Rosas tweeted photos from the ‘Zone,’ including flyers demanding that Seattle PD be defunded, and declaring that police “will always be racist because capitalism requires inequality.”

Independent journalist Andy Ngo has a great deal of familiarity with the groups assembled in the occupying effort.  He describes the group in control of the area as “Antifa,” and cited tweets to suggest there were armed guards guarding entry among the occupy protestors.

SEATTLE – City authorities may be expecting the activists to disperse, but the barricades and the content of their social media suggest they intend to stay. Local businesses and residents have “agreed to disaffiliate from Seattle basically,” in the words of one activist, who called it a “flux state in the making” – a reference to an anarchist commune from the fiction series Shadowrun. (RT link)

You would think the militant occupation of a major American city by a group of Antifa activists would lead to a great deal of news media coverage.  However, it appears the media zeal to cover, excuse and justify the conduct of their radical Antifa allies has led to a complete black-out of coverage.

@MrAndyNgo

When antifa can’t achieve a full revolution, they take over a small area in leftist cities to carry out their utopian commune experiment. It ends in neighborhoods being destroyed & occupiers forcibly dispersed because of health hazards. They leave the filth behind for others. https://twitter.com/julio_rosas11/status/1270445772316667904

Dr. Shelby Steele: The Combination of White Guilt and Victim Mentality is Not The Solution….


Well-regarded author Dr. Shelby Steele appears for an interview with Martha MacCallum to discuss race relations in the U.S. and how the politics of white guilt does nothing to improve black lives.   Dr. Steele challenges the victim narrative and discusses how policies focused on victimization do not empower the strength of any community.

Candidate Joe Biden defined the blackness of black people by saying if they did not support him “you ain’t black.”  Obviously the strategy to campaign on this issue was made in the days prior to the South Carolina primary.  What we see now is a continuation of that plan.  However, the pandering is over-the-top; and there are indications of a backlash from within the black community.

It does not matter what your race, ethnicity or skin color is, no-one likes being talked down to. The nature of the leftist political effort by the DNC’s white coastal elites is based on expressed superiority in alignment with the ‘you ain’t black enough’ outlook from presidential candidate Joe Biden.

This approach will predictably backfire, bigly, in part because campaign director James Clyburn himself is detached from current political sentiment by his age and class-structure.  It’s 2020 knuckleheads.

The democrats are poll-testing their approach, but the audience responding to the polls are just more leftist elites. The Democrats are defining an Alinsky strategy through their own biased prism of race.  Then they ask opinion of that strategy to a closed and cloistered echo-chamber. It is a circle of racist stupidity.

Outside the DNC ideological bubble, where real people live, work, interact and enjoy each-others fellowship, what the Democrats are trying to do is so fraught with cringe that ordinary people are embarrassed to associate with the effort. This is a big part of the reason why their heavily coordinated and scripted effort is not gaining traction.

Black people do not want the police to be defunded, by leftist activists and trust-fund protestors who don’t even live in the neighborhoods where police are needed, any more than any other person does.  Common sense exists within every race.

Racism at it’s basic U.S. form is defined by economics; limo-liberals have the greatest likelihood of actually being racist. Blue-collar middle-class America doesn’t sit around wasting time thinking about race and class struggles. Each individual tries to live their best life and do the best they can for their family.

The audiences who most despise this nonsense political effort, are patriotic black people and immigrants of all races who love the country and don’t sit around debating their level of victim-hood. If Democrats really want to face-plant the 2020 election, keep doing this:

Biden Campaign Director, James Clyburn, Says Don’t Believe Your Eyes: There Was No Violence, Looting, Riots, Arson or Police Attacks in Washington DC Last Week…


Joe Biden’s Campaign Director James Clyburn takes denial of truth to never-before-seen levels of avoidance and lying. During an interview earlier today the Biden campaign architect claimed there was no evidence of violence in Washington DC last week.

According to Clyburn there was no violence, rioting, looting, arson or attacks against police. The burned out cars, buildings and churches, the videos of rampant looting, and the 150 police officers taken to the hospital were apparently staged and made up. According to his claims, none of what you saw actually happened.

Clyburn seems confident media will protect him and not call him out on his false claims. Judging by the non-response of Neil Cavuto, his confidence is accurate. WATCH:

President Trump Notes Odd Behavior of Buffalo Protester…


President Donald Trump has noted the unusual behavior of the Buffalo protester who was captured on a now-viral video last week:

Coincidentally, as we noted at the time of the incident something does indeed seem sketchy with the behavior of Mr. Martin Gugino both before and during the encounter.

.

Mr. Martin Gugino is a 75-year-old professional activist, agitator and Antifa provocateur who brags on his blog about the number of times he can get arrested and escape prosecution. Also, according to Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown remarking on the incident: “here has been vandalism, there have been fires set, there have been stores broken into & looted. According to what was reported to me, that individual was a key major instigator of people engaging in those activities.”

Mr. Gugino’s Twitter Account is also filled with anti-cop sentiment [SEE HERE]. Last Thursday Gugino traveled from his New York home in Amherst, to Buffalo where he was seen on camera agitating a protest crowd. One of the protesters remarked just before the event that Mr. Gugino was “acting like an asshole”, and “trying to get punched in the face.”

During his engagement Gugino appears to be attempting to capture the radio communications signature of Buffalo police officers. CTH noted what he was attempting on Thursday night as soon as the now viral video was being used by media to sell a police brutality narrative. [Thread Here] Over the weekend a more clear video emerged that shows what he was attempting.

In the slow motion video, you will see Gugino using a device (phone?) as a frequency scanner. You might have heard the term “skimming”; it’s essentially the same. Watch him use his right hand to first scan the mic of officer one (top left of chest). Then Gugino moves his hand to the communications belt of the second officer. WATCH CLOSELY:

.

The capture of communications signals [explained in detail here] is a method of police tracking used by Antifa to monitor the location of police. In some cases the more high techcapture software can even decipher communication encryption allowing the professional agitators to block (black-out), jam, or interfere with police communication. In addition, many police body-cams are bluetooth enabled which allows syncing.

Unfortunately in the modern era the professional agitators have become very sophisticated and use technology to help create chaos. Their activity is highly coordinated, and as James O’Keefe has revealed in his undercover operations these professionals even stage events to manipulate public opinion.

When he was pushed away by the officers Gugino fell and presumably hit his head. As a consequence of the shove, the two officers were suspended and the Buffalo authorities have arrested and charged the two police officers. In a show of support the entire Buffalo police unit that makes up the Emergency Response Team resigned their position.

On Friday Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown admitted Gugino was a professional ‘agitator’ who tried to work up the crowd and had been asked to leave the area ‘numerous’ times.

However, despite the known ideology and intent of Mr. Gugino; and despite a more careful look at the video highlighting exactly what Gugino was attempting; the Buffalo authorities are frozen by political correctness and have now arrested and charged the two officers.

(Via Daily Mail) – Two Buffalo cops have been arrested and charged with second degree assault after they shoved a 75-year-old peace activist to the ground Thursday causing him to crack his head open on the sidewalk, as hundreds of colleagues gathered outside the city court in solidarity to cheer their release without bail.

Aaron Torgalski and Robert McCabe were each charged with one count of assault in the second degree in a court hearing Saturday morning over the shocking incident that left peaceful protester Martin Gugino in a ‘serious condition’ in hospital.

The cops were arraigned in a virtual court hearing where they both pleaded not guilty to the charges and the two cops hid from the view of the camera.

They each face up to seven years in prison if convicted of the class D felony. They were released without bail and will appear back in court on July 20.(read more)

It would appear Mr. Martin Gugino succeeded in his endeavor:

Remarkable Hubris – Chicago Mayor Asks Looted Businesses Not to Abandon The City…


This is one of those transparently predictable outcomes from allowing “space to destroy” via chaos, riots, looting and arson happening without law enforcement empowered to stop it. Few of the looted and destroyed businesses in Baltimore ever reopened, creating a worse situation for those who now have to travel to find a grocery store or pharmacy.

The same Chicago mayor who blocked police and law enforcement from curtailing the chaos, is now pleading with the looted businesses not to leave the city. Madness…. ideological madness.

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Mayor Lightfoot said she’s hopeful major retailers will reopen the Chicago stores that were looted or otherwise damaged during protests surrounding George Floyd’s killing by police in Minnesota. But, she’s unsure of one of the biggest.

Mayor Lightfoot said she was on a conference call with Walmart and other major retailers that had stores looted or heavily damaged during the unrest in Chicago. She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago. (read more)

These latest remarks from Mayor Lori Lightfoot come after distraught Chicago officials have been begging for help and warning that many vulnerable precincts have completely lost access to food stores and medicine.

(Fox News) […] According to a tape obtained by WTTW News of an online conference call among the city’s 50 aldermen and the mayor, one alderman could be heard weeping while others angrily decried what was going on in the city.

“My ward is a s–t show,” one alderman says. “They are shooting at the police.” (read more)
