As we live today it is remarkable how this image encapsulates the world around us. Those who demand control over liberty are doing their best to remove the foundation of our freedom. We each have a choice to make…. I choose to live; and there is no time of consequence so important for all of us – than to make a decision right now.
I will grind the bones in my hand to make Lady Liberty a rib. No cost is too great at this moment.
[…] If we are mark’d to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is Saint Crispian.”
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
Unless Democrats and their henchmen come to the unlikely understanding they also must preserve our laws and traditions, the country will be heading for a bloody disaster, and civil war will be upon us
With the 2020 election only months away, it is reasonable to wonder whether the election could spark widespread violence nationwide. With a probable hung election and accusations flying left and right, we may be approaching the time in 1860 when the election became a choice of whether a divided country could stay united. This election could trigger full-scale violence beyond anything we have seen so far. No, this won’t be just another election. It may be our Fort Sumter.
Both left and right detest each other, and with no resolution in sight, things could get ugly. With China on the march, COVID in the air, and racial unrest in the streets, the mix could not be worse and may finally boil over. What has been a cold civil war up until now could very well go hot.
Black Lives Matter (BLM), Antifa thugs, and their deep-state supporters
Worse still, the election will probably not be resolved on November 3. As the vote goes into overtime with counting and recounting ballots, many of them fraudulent, the far-left anarchists will take to the streets, burn down buildings, and reach deeper into suburban strongholds of republicanism. The police may or may not side with the mobs as private citizens try as best they can to protect their property, often armed with a gun.
As we approach the November elections, the probability is increasing of the current low-intensity battle between the left and traditional Americans boiling over into full-scale insurgency. If Donald Trump wins the election, the left will probably double down on the violent “resistance” they have been pushing since 2016. If Joe Biden wins, the left will undoubtedly enact legislation that would destroy the republic and enslave the citizenry touching off a revolt by the right. Conservative patriots will fight to save the republic and the future of the nation. Either way, violence looms.
It is not inevitable, but all true patriots need to be ready to stand firm for our American heritage. The costs of blood could be high. This could be war. And unlike other wars in our past that respected innocent civilian lives, it would likely become an ugly guerilla war on the streets of our cities doing irreparable harm to innocent bystanders.
The battle on the left will be waged by Black Lives Matter (BLM), Antifa thugs, and their deep-state supporters. For them, innocent victims and killings are not atrocities, but a piece of their broader scheme to remake America into their utopian socialist ideal. Their goal is to topple our constitutional system and deprive us of our liberties, property, and way of life.
Much of the rioting centers on the belief America is a racist nation. Many people righteously march to give the black community their support. However, the BLM organization isn’t concerned with black lives. BLM has raked in millions in funding from corporations and people just trying to do the right thing. In reality, these supporters are being played as chumps to funnel money to ActBlue who in turn finance Democrat candidates and the most liberal subversive groups in America today.
Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media broadcast that the gangs causing the destruction and violence are non-violent
Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media broadcast that the gangs causing the destruction and violence are non-violent as they are looting and lighting fires to a police station. They justify it as an unfortunate response by downtrodden victims of a debased and immoral nation. Yet, at the same time, they seek to deprive the public at large of their First Amendment rights to speak and worship freely, and Second Amendment rights to defend themselves with firearms. Do not be deceived. Vast numbers of Americans will protect those rights with their lives if need be.
Conservatives did not agree with Barack Obama while he was in office, but they accepted him as president because they realized he was the people’s choice and was duly elected. The left has never given and will never give Trump the same courtesy. Donald Trump was duly elected as president, but there has been nonstop treasonous resistance against him since the day he was elected. We can only expect more of the same if he is reelected.
Blaming an open civil war on Donald Trump will be like blaming the American Civil War on Abraham Lincoln. In both cases, the forces had been on a collision path for years before the conflict, and it reached its culmination during the time these two great men were in office.
The warning lights of a collapse of civil order have been coming for a long time and could be fully triggered this November. If elected officials at all levels are incapable of gathering the will to protect our most essential ways of life from thuggery and incendiary accusations of racism, then they have abandoned their official duties to the mob. Trump understands his obligation to keep order and the rule of law. Unless Democrats and their henchmen come to the unlikely understanding they also must preserve our laws and traditions, the country will be heading for a bloody disaster, and civil war will be upon us.
Having been raised Catholic doesn’t mean you grow up a Catholic. Fidel Castro, Joe Biden, “prayerful” Nancy Pelosi among other bigots were raised Catholic too.
From the signature crimson-lipsticked trout pout called N.Y. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC’s) foul mouth:
“St. Damien was a “colonizer” and his statue’s inclusion in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall is “what patriarch and white supremacist culture looks like!”
Vile words that illustrate for once and for all that AOC is a bigot in league with the devil.
Who other than a demon in public office would so cavalierly use her status to go after a canonized Saint who gave his life working with lepers?
“AOC calls the statue in the US capitol building of Father Damien, a canonized saint in the Catholic Church, a part of ‘white supremacist culture,’” said John Robert Gage in a tweet that displayed AOC’s words over a video of St. Damien’s statue.
“Father Damien died of leprosy after spending his life serving others who had the disease,” noted Gage.
One American Catholic bishop out of hundreds countered AOC’s accusations in a pair of swift video tweets.
ONE!
“Los Angeles bishop Robert Barron said he felt the need to respond to AOC’s claim because it “was just so outrageous.” (LifeSiteNews, Aug. 3, 2020)
pair of video tweets.
Milquetoast response Bishop Barron! Writing for American Thinker, Monica Showalter did so much better!
“Delivering a knockout punch to AOC, American Thinker’s Monica Showalter showed a picture of Damien after the saint had contracted leprosy and asked, “Here he is — look like a white supremacist to you?
“American Thinker’s Showalter referred to AOC as a “far-left wokester congresswoman” who had aimed an “amazing insult” at “Hawaii’s patron saint and most beloved figure of honor.”
“AOC owes Hawaiians an apology”
“What she was trying to do was pigeonhole the same flawed narrative of Confederate statues being unworthy to stand based on the legacy of slavery, onto Hawaii’s beloved chosen saint,” observed Showalter. “And she was also trying to erase Hawaii’s history, a truly disgusting thing given the special state’s many worthy figures, and given how little people know of it.”
“Now that it didn’t go over well, she’s saying nothing, expecting it will blow over. But it shouldn’t blow over,” said Showalter. “She owes the Hawaiians an apology and she’s not giving it. Let this be one more reason for Hawaiians to reconsider voting for Democrats. Ocasio-Cortez is exactly what’s wrong with them.”
“The statue AOC objects to as a totem of white supremacy is a statue of a poor, sick immigrant social worker to the poor, whose work was honored by Hawaii’s native queen,” wrote the Washington Examiner‘s Timothy Carney. “The statue was created by an immigrant woman feminist artist of color, and chosen by the people of the least white state of the union.”
“Carney called AOC’s words a “tirade,” noting that “[a]s far as St. Damien being a “colonizer” — well, Hawaii was never a Belgian colony. He wasn’t there representing Belgium, either. He was there representing the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.”
“Any Hawaiian here who is aware of their history — which most Hawaiians are — would absolutely, Catholic or not, defend the legacy of Damien as a man who was embraced by the people, and who is a hero to us because of his love for the Hawaiian people,” Dallas Carter, a native Hawaiian and a catechist for the Diocese of Honolulu, told CNA.
“We did not judge him by the color of his skin. We judged him by the love that he had for our people,” said catechist Carter.
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez picked the wrong statue to criticize,” declared the headline for Matthew Walther’s article at The Week.
“Ocasio-Cortez is probably not aware of the fact that the statue of the saint is a replica of one that stands outside the Hawaii State Capitol in Honolulu, that he spoke and preached in the Hawaiian language, that his feast day is a holiday in Hawaii, or that he is routinely named in lists of the most admired figures in modern Hawaiian history,” wrote Walther.
“The official website of the office of The Architect of the Capitol praises St. Damien of Molokai’s selfless service:
“On May 10, 1873, Father Damien traveled with Bishop Maigret and a shipload of lepers to Molokai. After two days Damien was willing to devote the rest of his life to the leper settlement. The bishop replied that he could stay as long as his devotion dictated. Father Damien accomplished amazing feats while residing on Molokai. Six chapels were built by 1875. He constructed a home for boys and later a home for girls. He bandaged wounds, made coffins, dug graves, heard confessions, and said Mass every morning. In December 1884, Father Damien noticed severe blisters on his feet without the presence of pain. As he suspected, the disease was leprosy.
“Father Damien died peacefully on April 15, 1889, on Molokai after 16 years of undaunted dedication.
“On October 11, 2009, Father Damien was canonized (i.e., elevated to sainthood) by Pope Benedict XVI in a ceremony at the Vatican, thus becoming Saint Damien.
“The bronze statue is based on photographs taken of Father Damien near the end of his life, with the scars of his disease visible on his face and his right arm in a sling beneath his cloak,” explains The Architect of the Capitol’s description. “His broad-brimmed hat was traditionally worn by missionaries. His right hand holds a cane.”
Meanwhile, toxic AOC hides herself behind the cover of having “been raised Catholic”.
Having been raised Catholic doesn’t mean you grow up a Catholic.
Fidel Castro, Joe Biden, “prayerful” Nancy Pelosi among other bigots were raised Catholic too.
YouTube moderators, with no medical background to even determine if what is being said is true, are censoring doctors who contradict the WHO and Bill Gates. It is totally outrageous how these social media companies are conspiring against the people to censor things they have no expertise in reviewing. This is purely a “policy” decision, which would be hate speech if they promoted that everyone within some race was evil. They removed even Trump’s retweet of the doctors who staged a press conference in front of the Supreme Court. Since this involves the health and welfare of all people, they claim they have a right to impose their own political views. If someone dies because they were refused hydroxychloroquine because of the media, the media should be held responsible.
The media has grossly misrepresented the threat of COVID-19, which clearly shows they are trying desperately to spark a political coup, whereas if the Russians did this, they would demand investigations if not war. On average, Democrats appear to be deeply biased and live in fear of COVID-19, while people aged 55 and older account for 92% of all deaths. Those people aged 44 and younger account for only 2.7% of all deaths. Democrats have been seriously misinformed and overestimate the risk of death from COVID-19 for people under the age of 24, assuming it is a 50/50 chance, when the real risk remains people aged 65 and older. Never in the history of the United States has such a misinformation/propaganda campaign been waged against the people by the media.
I reported that my cousin was a front line-nurse in New Jersey. She caught COVID-19 and it passed in a couple of days. But she gave it to her husband who was overweight and had diabetes. He had to go to the hospital with lung problems. They gave him hydroxychloroquine and zinc, and he was home in two days. The only reason there is this war against hydroxychloroquine is that it negates Bill Gates’ vaccine. The media will not report how much Gates and his vaccine partners stand to make from this agenda. Why? By also denying that hydroxychloroquine works, it allows them to take even more draconian steps to impose lockdowns and imprison people for violating their decrees. This certainly seems to have a political undertone.
The retaliation anyone who stands up against the left and their agenda is vicious. The lead doctor in that press conference before the Supreme Court that YouTube took down was fired, and then they had their website shut down. Welcome to the real America where freedom of speech is nothing more than a bedtime story.
There is a whole other agenda here, and it is far worse than what they accused Russia of doing (interfering in the 2016 US elections). The US, under the guidance of the Clintons, allowed the bankers to try to take over Russia TRANSFORMING IT INTO A VESSEL STATE by blackmailing Yeltsin. It was this clandestine operation from the Money Plane supporting “the Club” which forced Yeltsin to turn to Putin. This is perhaps why Goldman Sachs demanded their staff could not donate to Trump — only Hillary.
This is clearly an all-out war to take over the government and force a Socialistic agenda to raise taxes dramatically and impose this Great Reset agenda upon everyone by eliminating all freedom under the pretense of public health. Never in the history of the world has any other government used public health as the excuse to destroy what people have worked for, alter the economy, and strip all of us of our right to be free of such tyranny. Never has anyone ever been quarantined for thousands of years unless they were sick. You do not quarantine the entire population. Lepers were sent to colonies, but they did not lock down the entire population.
There are many in the media who have simply become the new enemy within against the people.
Joe Biden is not a socialist revolutionary. Throughout his seemingly never-ending career as a professional politician he’s been a run-of-the-mill machine democrat. As with all the others crowding the government trough, he’s worked hard to live out the advice of Harry Hopkins, a New Deal Democratic administrator who personified the ideology of the New Deal in the 1930s and President FDR’s closest personal adviser, “We shall tax and tax, and spend and spend, and elect and elect.”
Along with being wrong about every foreign policy position the former Vice President never saw a spending program he didn’t like. He’s tried running for president twice before and never got more than 1% in any primary. This time as the only viable alternative to Bernie Sanders, the only contender honest enough to admit they want to complete President Obama’s promise/threat to fundamentally transforming America, the democrat establishment dragged him across the finish line.
The explanation as to why the socialists are eagerly lining up to vote for Biden is best expressed by the Protestor Emeritus of the revolution, Angela Davis, a former Communist Party USA vice presidential candidate who is a former Black Panther.
“I don’t see this election as being about choosing a candidate who will be — who will be able to lead us in the right direction. It will be about choosing a candidate who can be most effectively pressured into allowing more space for the evolving anti-racist movement.
Biden is very problematic in many ways, not only in terms of his past and the role that he played, and pushing toward mass incarceration … but – I say but – Biden is far more likely to take mass demands seriously – far more likely than the current occupant of the White House.
This coming November, the election will ask us not so much to vote for the best candidate, but to vote for or against ourselves. And to vote for ourselves I think means that we will have to campaign for and vote for Biden.” (Emphasis added)
April Reign the creator of #OscarsSoWhite aptly summed up the sentiments of most by pointing out, “I don’t understand how anyone can read this, or listen to what Angela Davis has said recently, and not understand. We’re not voting for Biden as much as we are voting for ourselves. For the ability to redefine our future w/ someone in the White House who we can pressure into change.” (Emphasis added)
And there you have it straight from the godmother of the Revolution. A vote for Biden is a vote for “a candidate who can be most effectively pressured into allowing more space for the evolving anti-racist movement.” A candidate who is “far more likely to take mass demands seriously.” And a candidate who is, “far more likely than the current occupant of the White House” to cave-in to the demands of ANTIFA, BLM, and the other socialist revolutionaries rampaging in our streets.
Conversely, a vote for Trump is a vote for someone who will stand up against the revolution and fight to preserve truth, justice, and the American way.
Keep the Faith. Keep the Peace. We shall overcome.

This post is about Bill Gates and his personal vision to safe the human race from extinction, or so he claims. It seems however that when we dig deep into his and his family’ past that things are not what they seem.
A dozen years ago, or there about, Bill Gates became worried about Climate Change and started to give TED talks on what the world had to do to save us from extinction. In those presentations Gates stated that one of the variables in his equation had to go to zero to stop Carbon Dioxide from killing all of us. Now keep in mind that Gates does not have any degrees and knows little about anything but making money with software. We do however recognize that he was very good at that but we must also understand that he had no formal training or studies in anything else.
Gates’ vision is a world with less than a billion people and probably closer to 500 million. This world will be very clean and use only solar PV or Wind to power this Utopian Dream. Everything will be perfect and safe for those that reside in that world. Dreams of that kind are neither practical nor doable but that never stops those that have these visions: like Karl Marx who also had a vision of a perfect world Marxism. Unfortunately that vision brought us WW I, WW II and the cold war and hundreds of millions of dead people, and Marxism has still not been eliminate as the evil system that it is.
Gates has managed to merge Marxism, Environmentalism, Climate change and World health into one Political system using technology, which he is very good at. What Gates has started makes George Orwell’s “1984” look like it was done by a rank amateur. If Gates even comes close to achieving his objectives we will be living in Hell! This system of his is called “The Great Reset” Meaning the TOTAL REDO of: our culture, our economics system, and our political system.
The mayhem in Portland where leftist rioters have been trying to destroy the federal courthouse for more than 65 days running, inadvertently gives us the biggest clue about who Black Lives Matter and Antifa members really are.
Proof of who BLM and their anarchist sidekicks are came last night when they burned Bibles in downtown Portland.
‘How long has hatred of religion burned in the heart of the Democrat Party?
The Democrat-run KKK burnt crosses. The Democrat-run BLM burn Bibles, and American flags.
Folk should be asking ‘How long has hatred of religion burned in the heart of the Democrat Party?
Where is the Democrat outrage about the burning of Bibles and American flags on this, the morning after?
Anybody?
“Leftists are showing their contempt for America and her virtue by burning Bibles and American flags outside the federal courthouse in Portland. The rioters have been attempting to destroy the federal courthouse on a nightly basis. But ever since federal law enforcement officers arrived to stop rioters from burning down the courthouse, the rioters have been starting smaller fires in order to burn other symbols of their derision. On Friday night, that included Bibles and the American flag. (Town Hall, Aug. 1, 2020)
“The night before, rioters severed a pig’s head, put a police hat on it, placed the pig’s head on top of an American flag and then lit it all on fire.
“Portland police found an abandoned pig back in the early days of the riots. Police believe protesters planned to kill the animal and similarly use its body to make some sort of disgusting political message about hating cops.
Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about Black Lives or any other Human Lives, including aborted babies
“Deputies with the U.S. Marshals and officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Federal Protective Service have been working hard to protect the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland on a nightly basis.
“Oregon Democratic Gov. Kate Brown struck a deal with the Trump administration earlier this week, whereby federal officers will begin to withdrawal from downtown Portland as state agencies attempt to provide enforcement on their own. But Democratic leaders have consistently sided with the protestors, ignoring the violence and the threat and safety the riots pose to members of the community.
Did Democrats supply the rioters with Bibles to burn, or did the rioters steal them from their Grannies?
Did Democrats supply the rioters with a live pig to decapitate?
Is this really 2020, or some other uncivilized dark time from ancient history?
Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about Black Lives or any other Human Lives, including aborted babies.
BLM is not true to its cause—justice for the death of George Floyd, who by the way, identified as a Christian.
School teachers are said to be the driving force behind Antifa
CLAIM: “Teachers are the number one occupation of the antifa terrorist organization according to the FBI.” (AP, July 9, 2020)
“AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. There is no evidence that teachers make up an outsized portion of antifa, a shorthand term for “anti-fascists.” The FBI told The Associated Press it “has not made any such statements about the occupations of people who are attracted to particular ideologies.”
THE FACTS: As early as November 2019, posts online have alleged that the FBI says the most common profession for an antifa activist to have is schoolteacher.”
Videos here show that some school teachers while out rioting have been charged with felonies.
Democrats don’t just condone violence by continuing to look the other way, they are an active part of it
Could this be why teachers don’t want children returned to school in September during the run of the Coronavirus threat?
Would Antifa teachers rather be rioting than teaching in the classroom, but getting paid all the same?
Bottom line: Democrats don’t just condone violence by continuing to look the other way, they are an active part of it.
A former East Bay college philosophy professor who was charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation for an attack at a Berkeley protest last year, court records reveal.
Eric Clanton had been linked by police to violent assaults with a metal bike lock during a “free speech” rally in Berkeley on April 15, 2017. Before his arrest, Clanton had been “outed” online, on the website 4chan, as someone who used a bike lock to strike a man in the head. The assault was captured in a video clip (below) that drew widespread attention and anger after it was posted on YouTube.
(BLM founders L-R, Opal Tometi, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza; Marx photo, “China In The Throes Of the Cultural Revolution,” Louis Barcata, 1967)
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so defined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” (“Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung,” Peking, 1967)
The Chinese Cultural Revolution was “mass murder of a country’s heritage”. (Enemies of the People, Anne F. Thurston, 1987, p. 105).
This is the third article in a series (links to 1 & 2) that compares today’s American Cancel Culture Revolution to China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1962-1976).
In the mid-1960’s, teaching the history of Communism in America’s public schools generally went from seldom to hardly ever. It declined further after the official collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on 31 December 1991. Today’s BLM/Antifa street “protesters” likely know nothing about the combined body count of Stalin’s Russia and Mao’s China.
Cancel Culture’s Political Ideology
Karl Marx, who likeness (above) is carried by China’s Red Guards, was the ideological founder of Communism. The three founders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) are self-described Marxist-Leninists ideologues. They may know what that means, but most of their street puppets don’t have a clue.
Marxist-Maoist is a more operationally-accurate moniker. The BLM/Antifa mobs more closely mirror the havoc of China’s Red Guard than they do of Russia’s Red Guards (Krasnaya Gvardiya) who were armed workers who took to the streets during the 1917 Russian Revolution. They were the street muscle for the Bolsheviks.
Politicians Support Riots
Democratic Party leadership kneels and bows in support of America’s Cancel Culture Revolution. They are its political-class base.
The Chinese Cultural Revolution was led by China’s Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong. His was the only support the Revolution needed.
Hatred Focused – Then Fed
China: On May 25, 1966 Nie Yuanzi, a female academic at Beijing University, put-up this big character poster titled “Ignite the Cultural Revolution in the universities.” It worked. In part, it read:
“At present, the people of the whole nation, in a soaring revolutionary spirit that manifests boundless love for the Party and Chairman Mao, and their inveterate hatred for the sinister anti-Party anti-socialist gang, are making a vigorous and great Cultural Revolution. They are struggling thoroughly to smash the attacks of the reactionary sinister gang, in defense of the Party’s Central Committee and Chairman Mao…All revolutionary intellectuals, now is the time to go into battle! Let us unite, holding high the great red banner of Mao Zedong Thought.”
America: The U.S equivalent to Nie’s poster was the photo, that went viral, of a Minneapolis Police Officer with his knee on the neck of George Floyd.
America’s version of China’s big character posters is the giant sign painted on a street near the White House. And elsewhere.
Red Guards Born In The Academe
China: “It was among China’s young that Nie Yuanzi’s big character poster struck the most resonant chord, the young who has provided the movement with its most enthusiastic support. For the Cultural Revolution was for the students in China’s middle schools [last 3 yrs. pre-college] and universities a truly exciting opportunity to demonstrate that they were revolutionary through and through.” (Enemies of the People, p. 158)
Why was it easy for China to recruit students as Red Guards? Easy answer: They were prepped for it.
“Following Liberation (1949), the Communist Party of China had moved cautiously but inexorably to take control of the country’s universities…t’s efforts, within the universities were directed on the one hand to instilling everyone within them with a basic foundation in the Marxist-Leninist ideology that would guide the new government’s policies and on the other toward reforming the thought of the older, more senior university faculty…”[T]he thought campaign stood as a harbinger of the politics that would become increasingly frequent in the decade and more to come: the politics of persecution and slander, the politics, alas, of hate.” (Enemies of the People, p. 59)
America: Where does all the hatred from screaming young, mostly white, adults on the streets of Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, and other American cities come from?
Answer: From several sources, but largely from (1) public K-12 education and universities staffed by professors with an overwhelmingly progressive, socialist, political bias; and, (2) a media –—entertainment, print, and televised—that, since the election of Trump, finds little to herald as of valuable in America.
The Progressive Movement began capturing America’s educational system seven decades before the Chinese Communist Party moved in that direction after coming to power in 1949.
According to MarketWatch.com, the book on economics most frequently assigned today to American college students is The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. With half as many, the second most assigned is Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations.
Intimidation by Guilt Shaming
Unlike the virtue-signaling of America’s overtly pro-BLM companies, and professional sports teams, in Mao’s China virtue-signaling didn’t win favor with the Red Guards. Showing weakness was, generally, not rewarded.
Absent Law Enforcement Fans the Flames
China (America): “The military (local police departments)…intervened more often on the side of order than on the side of the left..[W]hen commanders (Police Chiefs) of the Peoples Liberation Army ordered their troops to fire on revolutionary rebels [mid-1967] and denounced the rebels (BLM/Antifa) as counterrevolutionaries, the central military leadership (Mayor, City Council) in Peking prohibited the military of further use of weapons against the revolutionaries…The result of the reining in of the military was the eruption and spread of violence and disorder.” (Enemies of the People, pp. 190-191)
Where Does Operational Funding Originate
China: Funding for China’s Red Guards was not difficult. No Uber fees. No hotel bills. Only a few inexpensive restaurants. Often only with the clothing on their backs. They traveled light and cheap. Today’s Red Guards with phones and helmets would not last three days in China’s Red Guards.
In China, they traveled for free on the trains. Often walked long distances between cities and villages. Frequently invited themselves into the homes of those they perceived as counterrevolutionaries, taking their food, and anything of value they wanted. No police interference.
Consequently, they plundered with impunity. At times, their destructive behavior brought impoverishment, and, in some cases, even death from the sustained beatings of many Chinese. And that prompted numerous suicides.
America: Where does the money come from to fund BLM/Antifa?
That’s next. Meanwhile…
There is no straighter path to destroy a nation’s culture than to render its people ignorant of their history. And America is well on the way there.
If this unpatriotic conduct continues, millions of Americans will not support such “great disrespect for our Country and our Flag” and these “woke” leagues will get their just deserts
It might be time for patriotic Americans to discover a new favorite sport, professional hockey. Unlike other professional athletes, hockey players have refused to show disrespect toward the National Anthem. At exhibition games this week, all players with the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers stood for the National Anthem.
Likewise, for Thursday night’s start of the season, all the players with the Dallas Stars and the Nashville Predators stood for the National Anthem. After the game, a few of the Dallas players displayed their clothing featuring the slogan, #WeSkateforEquality.
The NHL is allowing players to support whatever cause they want for the upcoming season
The NHL is allowing players to support whatever cause they want for the upcoming season. Such advocacy is fine, part of our 1st Amendment rights of free speech. However, it is respectful for NHL players to advocate their causes on their own time and not during the playing of the National Anthem.
Unfortunately, such a message is anathema to the National Basketball Association. This league has won the title for being the most “woke.” In their Orlando “bubble,” the NBA painted “Black Lives Matter” next to the basketball court.
At Thursday night’s opening game between the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans, every single player, coach, and referee knelt during the National Anthem. For good measure, all the players wore a “Black Lives Matter” shirt. Some raised their fist in a “Black Power” salute. Almost all the players wore social justice messages on their jerseys.
The NBA is fully onboard with the organization Black Lives Matter, despite the well-known Marxist training of the group’s founders. The leaders of the organization have also expressed support for policies which are both anti-family and anti-Semitic. Clearly, it does not matter to the NBA.
In the first three games of the NBA’s renewed season, only one player, Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic, refused to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem. In addition, he did not wear a “Black Lives Matter” shirt. According to Isaac, “I felt like I wanted to take a stand. I feel like we all make mistakes but I think that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is grace for us and that Jesus came and died for our sins…and that when we understand this, we can get past skin color.”
The NBA considers itself to be an international league and is not concerned if it affiliates with the country posing the greatest threat to the national security and health of the United States
Isaac should be commended for his courageous stand. Unfortunately, he plays basketball for a league that is complicit with human rights abuses occurring in communist China. Why would the NBA care about the radical ideology of Black Lives Matter when it refuses to condemn the brutal communist regime in China?
A new ESPN report asserts that players as young as 13 are being physically abused and denied adequate education by coaches at NBA training academies in China. The anonymous coaches who were interviewed for the report claim that the NBA told them to cover-up the abusive behavior.
This communist dictatorship is very influential within the NBA, which profits handsomely from the relationship. Thus, no criticism of communist China is allowed. In October, when Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted a message of support to the young people fighting oppression in Hong Kong, the NBA forced him to apologize.
The leading star of the NBA, LeBron James, stated that Morey was “misinformed or not really educated on the situation.” Of course, Morey knows much more about “the situation” than James, who has never issued one negative comment toward China, a country that represses ethnic and religious minorities and is engaged in outright hostile and belligerent behavior toward the United States.
The NBA considers itself to be an international league and is not concerned if it affiliates with the country posing the greatest threat to the national security and health of the United States. It is well known that communist China lied about the origins and spread of Covid-19, which has become a worldwide pandemic.
While other professional sports leagues do not share the NBA’s disgusting position toward communist China, they do share a commitment to showcasing their social justice credentials
While other professional sports leagues do not share the NBA’s disgusting position toward communist China, they do share a commitment to showcasing their social justice credentials. In the opening games of the new Major League Baseball season, players knelt before and during the playing of the National Anthem. In addition, when the NFL starts their season in September, fans can expect almost all the players to kneel during the National Anthem as well.
This type of behavior certainly upsets traditional Americans. In a recent CBS News poll, a majority of Americans over the age of 65 opposed kneeling during the National Anthem. Nonetheless, in other age groups, there was more approval of the controversial gesture. Overall, 58% of Americans supported the right of athletes to kneel during the National Anthem.
This behavior is not acceptable to President Trump. Last week, he tweeted, “Looking forward to live sports, but any time I witness a player kneeling during the National Anthem, a sign of great disrespect for our Country and our Flag, the game is over for me!” This view was also expressed by Mike Ditka, former NFL broadcaster, coach, and Hall of Fame player with the Chicago Bears. He said that players who kneel during the National Anthem should “get the hell out of the country.”
Trump and Ditka might not speak for a majority of Americans, but if the 42% who are disgusted by kneeling decide to no longer watch the NFL and other professional sports with such protests, it will negatively impact ratings, which will ultimately devastate the financial bottom line for the leagues. If this unpatriotic conduct continues, millions of Americans will not support such “great disrespect for our Country and our Flag” and these “woke” leagues will get their just deserts.
