stillnessinthestorm--2020-06-24--Vatican Insider Says COVID Is A “Colossal Operation of Social Engineering”

( ) It ’ s amazing to observe just how much perspectives have changed regarding Covid-19 .
It ’ s also quite something to observe how almost every global crisis that seems to emerge every single year is surrounded by controversy and what seems to be clear misinformation .
Related Mother of Trayvon Martin , Whose Death Sparked Black Lives Matter Movement Says , “ WE NEED MORE POLICE ” What appears to be happening here is a lot of noteworthy and factual information when it comes to Covid-19 has been labelled as “ fake news ” and as disinformation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ fake ” is constantly beamed out by mainstream media .
There are a number of examples , with regards to Covid-19 one of them is evidence supporting the idea that death numbers have been greatly exaggerated and miscalculated , while mainstream media has claimed the complete opposite .
Youtube even committed to banning any information that contradicts the World Health Organization ( WHO ) in any way .
The censorship of information , opinions , and free speech has ramped up to a level that we ’ ve never experienced before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of the leading scientists and epidemiologists for sharing an opinion that contradicts the WHO .
As a result of these measures , more and more people are waking up every single day to various facts about the human experience that have gone largely unacknowledged and even ridiculed for a long time , like the the fact that there is a “ deep state.
” Despite the fact that this deep state has been ‘ ousted ’ in the public eye a number of times , and has been ‘ called ’ out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world for years , it ’ s still considered a conspiracy theory and remains largely unacknowledged and unaddressed by many .
Within the past year or so , we ’ ve seen this type of response by mainstream media , the concerns of this deep state , but only in the form of ridicule .
Why is there such a strong effort to ridicule the idea of a deep state , a government within the government , especially when it ’ s been talked about for so long ?
Why is there such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Should people not be able to have the right to freely and openly look at information , opinion , sources and evidence for and determine for themselves what is and what isn ’ t ?
Why is there a digital authoritarian Orwellian “ fact-checker ’ patrolling the internet telling people what is , and what isn ’ t ?
When I think about the deep state , I think about a small group of people that are high up in the corporate/financial world who exercise great power over the global military industrial complex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ powerful government agencies , and I think that their main goal is to mould and manipulate the minds of the masses for their own selfish purposes .
We ’ ve seen this happen with various topics , not just with race and global pandemics , with topics like the ‘ war on terror ’ and the ‘ war on drugs , ’ among many others .
Below is a letter written by a former high-ranking Vatican Official , Carlo Maria Vigano , former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States and Secretary-General of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recently released a huge statement implicating Pope Francis in the cover-up of sexual abuse within the Vatican .
The letter was recently written regarding the current state of the world and was addressed to Donald Trump .
In the letter , Vigano brings up this “ deep state , ” as well as the idea that the Covid pandemic has been one giant “ social engineering experiment.
” In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical : the children of light and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity , while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority .
And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries , who often hold strategic positions in government , in politics , in the economy and in the media .
In an apparently inexplicable way , the good are held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature , follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent .
On the one hand there are those who , although they have a thousand defects and weaknesses , are motivated by the desire to do good , to be honest , to raise a family , to engage in work , to give prosperity to their homeland , to help the needy , and , in obedience to the Law of God , to merit the Kingdom of Heaven .
On the other hand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who do not hold any moral principles , who want to demolish the family and the nation , exploit workers to make themselves unduly wealthy , foment internal divisions and wars , and accumulate power and money : for them the fallacious illusion of temporal well-being will one day—if they do not repent—yield to the terrible fate that awaits them , far from God , in eternal damnation .
In society , Mr. President , these two opposing realities co-exist as eternal enemies , just as God and Satan are eternal enemies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of darkness—whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days—have decided to show their cards , so to speak , by now revealing their plans .
They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions .
The investigations already under way will reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency not only in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politics , the economy , and the media .
We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity , arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations .
: Ley Lines of the UK and USA : How Ley Lines were used by the Church , Royalty , City Planners and the Freemasons We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning , necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances , because they would be followed by repression which , although legitimate , could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population .
The same thing is also happening in Europe , in perfect synchrony .
It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with conviction .
It will not be surprising if , in a few months , we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom : Solve et Coagula , as the Masonic adage teaches .
Although it may seem disconcerting , the opposing alignments I have described are also found in religious circles .
There are faithful Shepherds who care for the flock of Christ , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to scatter the flock and hand the sheep over to be devoured by ravenous wolves .
It is not surprising that these mercenaries are allies of the children of darkness and hate the children of light : just as there is a deep state , there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God .
Thus the Invisible Enemy , whom good rulers fight against in public affairs , is also fought against by good shepherds in the ecclesiastical sphere .
It is a spiritual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my recent Appeal which was published on May 8 .
For the first time , the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life , who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world , who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship .
Your participation in the March for Life , and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month , are actions that confirm which side you wish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to believe that both of us are on the same side in this battle , albeit with different weapons .
For this reason , I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to the National Shrine of Saint John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order , but to aggravate dispositions ; not to bring justice , but to legitimize violence and crime ; not to serve the truth , but to favor one political faction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are Bishops—such as those whom I recently denounced—who , by their words , prove that they are aligned on the opposing side .
They are subservient to the deep state , to globalism , to aligned thought , to the New World Order which they invoke ever more frequently in the name of a universal brotherhood which has nothing Christian about it , but which evokes the Masonic ideals of those want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts , out of schools , out of families , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American people are mature and have now understood how much the mainstream media does not want to spread the truth but seeks to silence and distort it , spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters .
However , it is important that the good—who are the majority—wake up from their sluggishness and do not accept being deceived by a minority of dishonest people with unavowable purposes .
It is necessary that the good , the children of light , come together and make their voices heard .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this , Mr. President , than by prayer , asking the Lord to protect you , the United States , and all of humanity from this enormous attack of the Enemy ?
Before the power of prayer , the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse , their plots will be revealed , their betrayal will be shown , their frightening power will end in nothing , brought to light and exposed for what it is : an infernal deception .
Leaving religion aside , I think this letter is yet another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outlining one of the biggest issues that faces our world today , people who want to continue to manipulate human consciousness for ulterior motives , and do so by going as far to creating , funding and even sometimes faking events in order to justify their proposed solutions to the problem they created , just as Edward Snowden recently said with regards to the new coronavirus , stating that it ’ s being used push more authoritarian measures on the human population .
Book Freedom from Government : Statist Delusions [ Understanding Legal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump & Politics is Far From The Answer Sure , we might be witnessing , in some sense , a struggle between Donald Trump and the powers that wish to remove him from the presidency .
A massive campaign to do this began four years ago , and everything we ’ ve seen or heard about Donald Trump has been about constantly ridiculing him .
Politics is not about making the world a better place , it ’ s about convincing everybody that you ’ re better than someone else , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the way it ’ s set up is not fit to handle nor tackle the issues our world faces today , it ’ s a very poor means for change and a system the human race seems to be growing out of and no longer resonating with .
At the end of the day , I believe voting doesn ’ t really make a difference but simply reinforces a system we can no longer afford to even play with .
We can ’ t continue doing the same thing every four years and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We can ’ t constantly look to and rely on a president to make any significant change .
At the end of the day , change has to come from us , it should be quite clear that it ’ s not going to come from those who we choose to refer to as our ‘ leaders.
’ We can shut down , obey and listen when it comes to massive global lockdown for a pandemic that doesn ’ t seem to be any more dangerous than the flu , but we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the environment , to combat hunger and the other diseases and lack of resources that contribute do the deaths of tens of millions of people every single year .
It just doesn ’ t make sense .
Seeing through the manipulation of human consciousness , today , is a huge key to transforming our world .
We can ’ t change our world until we identify the problem , and for the years the problem has been presenting itself as the solution , as a God , as an entity we should praise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I joined the CE team in 2010 shortly after finishing university and have been grateful for the fact that I have been able to do this ever since : ) There are many things happening on the planet that don ’ t resonate with me , and I wanted to do what I could to play a role in creating change .

What appears to be happening here is a lot of noteworthy and factual information when it comes to Covid-19 has been labelled as “fake news” and as disinformation, while information that is quite questionable and “fake” is constantly beamed out by mainstream media. There are a number of examples, with regards to Covid-19 one of them is evidence supporting the idea that death numbers have been greatly exaggerated and miscalculated, while mainstream media has claimed the complete opposite. Youtube even committed to banning any information that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) in any way.

They’ve even been censoring some of the leading scientists and epidemiologists for sharing an opinion that contradicts the WHO.
As a result of these measures, more and more people are waking up every single day to various facts about the human experience that have gone largely unacknowledged and even ridiculed for a long time, like the the fact that there is a “deep state.” Despite the fact that this deep state has been ‘ousted’ in the public eye a number of times, and has been ‘called’ out by various presidents and politicians around the world for years, it’s still considered a conspiracy theory and remains largely unacknowledged and unaddressed by many. Within the past year or so, we’ve seen this type of response by mainstream media, the concerns of this deep state, but only in the form of ridicule. Why is there such a strong effort to ridicule the idea of a deep state, a government within the government, especially when it’s been talked about for so long? Why is there such a strong effort to censor information? Should people not be able to have the right to freely and openly look at information, opinion, sources and evidence for and determine for themselves what is and what isn’t?

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.” – Theodore Roosevelt (source)
When I think about the deep state, I think about a small group of people that are high up in the corporate/financial world who exercise great power over the global military industrial complex. I think about rouge parts of powerful government agencies, and I think that their main goal is to mould and manipulate the minds of the masses for their own selfish purposes. We’ve seen this happen with various topics, not just with race and global pandemics, with topics like the ‘war on terror’ and the ‘war on drugs,’ among many others.
Below is a letter written by a former high-ranking Vatican Official, Carlo Maria Vigano, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States and Secretary-General of the Governorate of Vatican City, who also recently released a huge statement implicating Pope Francis in the cover-up of sexual abuse within the Vatican. The letter was recently written regarding the current state of the world and was addressed to Donald Trump. In the letter, Vigano brings up this “deep state,” as well as the idea that the Covid pandemic has been one giant “social engineering experiment.”
In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority. And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, in politics, in the economy and in the media. In an apparently inexplicable way, the good are held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness. These two sides, which have a Biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent. On the one hand there are those who, although they have a thousand defects and weaknesses, are motivated by the desire to do good, to be honest, to raise a family, to engage in work, to give prosperity to their homeland, to help the needy, and, in obedience to the Law of God, to merit the Kingdom of Heaven. On the other hand, there are those who serve themselves, who do not hold any moral principles, who want to demolish the family and the nation, exploit workers to make themselves unduly wealthy, foment internal divisions and wars, and accumulate power and money: for them the fallacious illusion of temporal well-being will one day—if they do not repent—yield to the terrible fate that awaits them, far from God, in eternal damnation. In society, Mr. President, these two opposing realities co-exist as eternal enemies, just as God and Satan are eternal enemies. And it appears that the children of darkness—whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days—have decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans. They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions. The investigations already under way will reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency not only in the area of health care but also in politics, the economy, and the media. We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity, arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.
We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population. The same thing is also happening in Europe, in perfect synchrony. It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction. It will not be surprising if, in a few months, we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: Solve et Coagula, as the Masonic adage teaches. Although it may seem disconcerting, the opposing alignments I have described are also found in religious circles. There are faithful Shepherds who care for the flock of Christ, but there are also mercenary infidels who seek to scatter the flock and hand the sheep over to be devoured by ravenous wolves. It is not surprising that these mercenaries are allies of the children of darkness and hate the children of light: just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God.

Mr. President, my prayer is constantly turned to the beloved American nation, where I had the privilege and honor of being sent by Pope Benedict XVI as Apostolic Nuncio. In this dramatic and decisive hour for all of humanity, I am praying for you and also for all those who are at your side in the government of the United States. I trust that the American people are united with me and you in prayer to Almighty God. United against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity, I bless you and the First Lady, the beloved American nation, and all men and women of good will. + Carlo Maria Viganò

Donald Trump & Politics is Far From The Answer
Sure, we might be witnessing, in some sense, a struggle between Donald Trump and the powers that wish to remove him from the presidency. A massive campaign to do this began four years ago, and everything we’ve seen or heard about Donald Trump has been about constantly ridiculing him. Politics is not about making the world a better place, it’s about convincing everybody that you’re better than someone else, and that you deserve great power. Politics and the way it’s set up is not fit to handle nor tackle the issues our world faces today, it’s a very poor means for change and a system the human race seems to be growing out of and no longer resonating with. At the end of the day, I believe voting doesn’t really make a difference but simply reinforces a system we can no longer afford to even play with. We can’t continue doing the same thing every four years and expect change to come from one person. We can’t constantly look to and rely on a president to make any significant change. At the end of the day, change has to come from us, it should be quite clear that it’s not going to come from those who we choose to refer to as our ‘leaders.’
We can shut down, obey and listen when it comes to massive global lockdown for a pandemic that doesn’t seem to be any more dangerous than the flu, but we can’t do the same for the environment, to combat hunger and the other diseases and lack of resources that contribute do the deaths of tens of millions of people every single year. It just doesn’t make sense.
Seeing through the manipulation of human consciousness, today, is a huge key to transforming our world. We can’t change our world until we identify the problem, and for the years the problem has been presenting itself as the solution, as a God, as an entity we should praise and give our power over to.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-06-24--Leaked 2015 Democrat Memo Warned Lawmakers ‘Don’t Offer Support’ for ‘Radical’ Black Lives Matter

( Matthew Boyle ) A leaked 2015 internal Democrat Party memo warned top House Democrats not to embrace the Black Lives Matter movement because it was described by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee ( DCCC ) as a “ radical movement.
” Related Facebook and Twitter Help Antifa While Censoring Everyday Americans The memo , from then-DCCC official Troy Perry addressed to “ DCCC Staff ” on Thursday Nov. 19 , 2015 , noted that the Democrats ’ 2016 presidential candidates “ have struggled to respond to tactics of the Black Lives Matter movement.
” Perry was at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Director of Diversity and Public Engagement .
“ While there has been little engagement with House candidates , candidates and campaign staff should be prepared , ” Perry wrote .
The DCCC is the official arm of the Democrat Party charged with electing Democrats to the U.S. House of Representatives .
When this 2015 memo was drafted , Democrats were in the minority in the U.S. House—seeking a return to the majority that they did not achieve in the 2016 elections as now President Donald Trump won the White House and the GOP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s coattails .
Later , though , Democrats would win the House majority back in the 2018 midterm elections .
Perry warned recipients of his memo in the next line that it was top secret and confidential—not to be shared with anyone .
“ This document should not be emailed or handed to anyone outside of the building , ” he wrote .
“ Please only give campaign staff these best practices in meetings or over the phone.
” But the document ended up leaking through hacker Guccifer 2.0 in the lead-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the summer of 2016 , just after Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton had secured the nomination and the general election kicked off .
In the two-page memo , the then-DCCC official Perry described Black Lives Matter as a “ radical movement ” intent on ending “ anti-black racism.
” We got you the hookup on health and detox protection !

“ Though police abuses are a central component , the founders view the movement more broadly , ” the Democrat memo reads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lives Matter also seeks “ Criminal Justice Reform , ” particularly “ sentencing reform , ending prison industrial complex , police reform : referring to hiring , training , and unfair policing tactics.
” The movement also , per the Democrat memo , seeks an “ end to police brutality ” and stopping of “ killings of unarmed African Americans.
” It notes that the Black Lives Matter movement has it roots in the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman , the Hispanic man who killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford , Florida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
To achieve these goals , the Democrat memo continues , Black Lives Matter pushes to “ collect data on police shootings ” and for a “ demilitarization of the police.
” The DCCC memo then elaborates on recommended tactics for Democrats to handle Black Lives Matter activists .
When meeting with them , the Democrats warned against large gatherings .
“ If approached by BLM activists , campaign staff should offer to meet with local activists , ” the Democrat memo reads .
“ Invited BLM attendees should be limited .
Please @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” In this section , the Democrats warn their members and candidates against supporting anything Black Lives Matter activists are pushing them to back .
“ Listen to their concerns , ” the memo says , but “ don ’ t offer support for concrete policy positions.
” The memo also recommends that Democrats “ lead from behind ” when it comes to Black Lives Matter , as it says the burgeoning movement “ needs partners ” but its members are “ leary of politicians who hijack their message to win campaigns.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scrutiny and only anger BLM activists , ” the memo adds on this point .
“ This is the worst response.
” The final part of the memo recommends Democrat talking points in response to Black Lives Matter .
The memo explicitly tells Democrats not to say “ all lives matter ” and warns them to not speak of “ black on black crime.
” This is because , the memo notes , Black Lives Matter activists consider these points “ red herring attacks.
” The document concludes by providing Democrats with talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that “ many communities in America feel unfairly targeted by police and it ’ s an issue that requires addressing ” as “ evidenced by the DOJ Ferguson Report.
” It recommends exploring “ reforms to ensure officers are properly trained and don ’ t infringe on citizens ’ rights ” and holding “ police accountable to their actions when it ’ s a clear case of wrongdoing ” while rebuilding “ the relationship between police and community ; ensuring officers are not just in the community when something bad is happening.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ systemic racism ” that “ continues to confront the daily lives of African Americans , ” and the memo says America “ must look for ways to address this legacy and make sure Africans American feel they are treated with fairness and dignity.

“ We are disappointed at the DCCC ’ s placating response to our demand to value all Black life .
Black communities deserve to be heard , not handled .
People are dying , ” the official Black Lives Matter Facebook page said in response : The author of the secret Black Lives Matter memo , Perry , was at the time the DCCC ’ s “ Director of Diversity and Public Engagement.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Expansion States Director ” for Clinton ’ s presidential campaign in 2016 .
After Clinton lost , he joined the congressional office of then-Rep. Joseph Crowley ( D-NY ) as the “ Director of Member Services & Outreach.
” Crowley , his boss on Capitol Hill , infamously lost one of the highest profile primary battles in history back in 2018 to now Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) .
Ocasio-Cortez has been an outspoken supporter of Black Lives Matter and its policy positions despite these previous warnings from Democrats of the movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embracing the more extreme “ Defund the Police ” push from Black Lives Matter activists and pushing her fellow Democrats to the more extreme positions of this issue set .
At the time the document was released , in addition to Breitbart News coverage of it , it received widespread attention on the left given the controversial nature of Democrats proactively distancing themselves from the then-still-growing “ radical ” Black Lives Matter movement .
Julia Craven , one such writer from the left then at HuffPost , now at Slate , described how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particular , she wrote , the hacker Guccifer 2.0 claimed it came from the personal computer of then-House Minority Leader , now House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—something Pelosi denied at the time .

(Matthew Boyle) A leaked 2015 internal Democrat Party memo warned top House Democrats not to embrace the Black Lives Matter movement because it was described by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) as a “radical movement.”

Source – Breitbart
by Matthew Boyle, June 10th, 2020
The memo, from then-DCCC official Troy Perry addressed to “DCCC Staff” on Thursday Nov. 19, 2015, noted that the Democrats’ 2016 presidential candidates “have struggled to respond to tactics of the Black Lives Matter movement.” Perry was at the time he wrote this the DCCC’s Director of Diversity and Public Engagement.
“While there has been little engagement with House candidates, candidates and campaign staff should be prepared,” Perry wrote.
The DCCC is the official arm of the Democrat Party charged with electing Democrats to the U.S. House of Representatives. When this 2015 memo was drafted, Democrats were in the minority in the U.S. House—seeking a return to the majority that they did not achieve in the 2016 elections as now President Donald Trump won the White House and the GOP held its House majority riding the president’s coattails. Later, though, Democrats would win the House majority back in the 2018 midterm elections.
Perry warned recipients of his memo in the next line that it was top secret and confidential—not to be shared with anyone. “This document should not be emailed or handed to anyone outside of the building,” he wrote. “Please only give campaign staff these best practices in meetings or over the phone.”
But the document ended up leaking through hacker Guccifer 2.0 in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election late in the summer of 2016, just after Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton had secured the nomination and the general election kicked off.
In the two-page memo, the then-DCCC official Perry described Black Lives Matter as a “radical movement” intent on ending “anti-black racism.”
“Though police abuses are a central component, the founders view the movement more broadly,” the Democrat memo reads.
It continues by noting that Black Lives Matter also seeks “Criminal Justice Reform,” particularly “sentencing reform, ending prison industrial complex, police reform: referring to hiring, training, and unfair policing tactics.”
The movement also, per the Democrat memo, seeks an “end to police brutality” and stopping of “killings of unarmed African Americans.” It notes that the Black Lives Matter movement has it roots in the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the Hispanic man who killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, during Barack Obama’s presidency. To achieve these goals, the Democrat memo continues, Black Lives Matter pushes to “collect data on police shootings” and for a “demilitarization of the police.”
The DCCC memo then elaborates on recommended tactics for Democrats to handle Black Lives Matter activists. When meeting with them, the Democrats warned against large gatherings.
“If approached by BLM activists, campaign staff should offer to meet with local activists,” the Democrat memo reads. “Invited BLM attendees should be limited. Please aim for personal or small group meetings.”
In this section, the Democrats warn their members and candidates against supporting anything Black Lives Matter activists are pushing them to back. “Listen to their concerns,” the memo says, but “don’t offer support for concrete policy positions.”
The memo also recommends that Democrats “lead from behind” when it comes to Black Lives Matter, as it says the burgeoning movement “needs partners” but its members are “leary of politicians who hijack their message to win campaigns.”
“This response will garner additional media scrutiny and only anger BLM activists,” the memo adds on this point. “This is the worst response.”
The final part of the memo recommends Democrat talking points in response to Black Lives Matter. The memo explicitly tells Democrats not to say “all lives matter” and warns them to not speak of “black on black crime.” This is because, the memo notes, Black Lives Matter activists consider these points “red herring attacks.”
The document concludes by providing Democrats with talking points about what to say, including that “many communities in America feel unfairly targeted by police and it’s an issue that requires addressing” as “evidenced by the DOJ Ferguson Report.” It recommends exploring “reforms to ensure officers are properly trained and don’t infringe on citizens’ rights” and holding “police accountable to their actions when it’s a clear case of wrongdoing” while rebuilding “the relationship between police and community; ensuring officers are not just in the community when something bad is happening.” It also admits “a history of systemic racism” that “continues to confront the daily lives of African Americans,” and the memo says America “must look for ways to address this legacy and make sure Africans American feel they are treated with fairness and dignity.”

The Black Lives Matter movement was furious with the DCCC memo at the time of the leak, issuing its own response denouncing the top Democrat Party officials for being dismissive of the growing group.
“We are disappointed at the DCCC’s placating response to our demand to value all Black life. Black communities deserve to be heard, not handled. People are dying,” the official Black Lives Matter Facebook page said in response:
Whether Republican, Democrat or otherwise, our elected officials have an ethical and democratic responsibility to make legislation that reflects the needs of their constituents. That includes Black people facing life-threatening challenges because of racist, failed policies. We demand, and are fighting every day for, a radical transformation of American democracy where all Black lives are valued. We expect that our elected officials will stop pacifying and take us seriously.
The author of the secret Black Lives Matter memo, Perry, was at the time the DCCC’s “Director of Diversity and Public Engagement.” He would later become the “Regional Expansion States Director” for Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016. After Clinton lost, he joined the congressional office of then-Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) as the “Director of Member Services & Outreach.”
Crowley, his boss on Capitol Hill, infamously lost one of the highest profile primary battles in history back in 2018 to now Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Ocasio-Cortez has been an outspoken supporter of Black Lives Matter and its policy positions despite these previous warnings from Democrats of the movement’s “radical” nature, embracing the more extreme “Defund the Police” push from Black Lives Matter activists and pushing her fellow Democrats to the more extreme positions of this issue set.
At the time the document was released, in addition to Breitbart News coverage of it, it received widespread attention on the left given the controversial nature of Democrats proactively distancing themselves from the then-still-growing “radical” Black Lives Matter movement.
Julia Craven, one such writer from the left then at HuffPost, now at Slate, described how the document came to light. In particular, she wrote, the hacker Guccifer 2.0 claimed it came from the personal computer of then-House Minority Leader, now House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—something Pelosi denied at the time. What’s more, Democrats previewed what would become of their years-long strategy to dismiss controversial internal document releases as simply Russian hackers—without addressing or minimizing and avoiding the content of such documents.
Craven wrote in HuffPost.:
The document was posted online by Guccifer 2.0, a hacker who has claimed to be responsible for the Democratic National Committee email leak. Guccifer claims the document is from the personal computer of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). A number of cybersecurity firms and Democrats have attributed the leaks to Russian hackers (though Guccifer 2.0 has denied working for the Kremlin).
Pelosi’s office, in a statement to HuffPost for the August 2016 article, said the document did not come from her computer, and blamed the Russians for it leaking.
Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s staffer, told HuffPost:
This attempt by Russia to influence our election has no place in our democracy. In addition, Leader Pelosi does not have a personal computer at the DCCC so no hacked, dumped or doctored documents can be attributed to her computer.
Hammill’s statement continued by claiming that Pelosi did not support the memo’s content advising Democrats to distance themselves from the “radical” Black Lives Matter movement. Hammill said:
In regard to the memo about Black Lives Matter, Leader Pelosi does not support the content or attitude of this memo. On many occasions, Leader Pelosi has publicly supported the ideals embraced by the Black Lives Matter movement and continues to do so.
The DCCC actually distanced itself from the content of its own memo when it leaked, with then-spokeswoman Meredith Kelly issuing a statement to HuffPost stating Democrats respected the Black Lives Matter movement. Kelly said at the time:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee highly respects and values the leadership of the Black Lives Matter movement. In less than two years, BLM has evolved from three words into a political force that is changing and waking our nation. At the DCCC, we highly encourage our candidates to not only embrace the importance of this movement, but to meet with and listen to community activists to partner social change.
But again, as recently as late 2015, the official Democrat Party recommendations for dealing with Black Lives Matter were to treat the “radical movement” with caution and avoid agreeing to any specific policy prescriptions its activists were promoting. While the top Democrats from the DCCC through Pelosi did also issue statements at the time the document leaked in 2016 expressing support for Black Lives Matter—while also blaming the Russians for the hack—their statements were not nearly as big as the embrace Democrats have greeted Black Lives Matter with in recent weeks as riots and protests have swept the nation in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Pelosi, now again the Speaker of the House, has kneeled before the movement—as have several other top Democrats—for nearly nine minutes as part of a protest representing how long now former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on the neck of Floyd.

Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-06-24--Q Drop: Fired NY Prosecutor, Berman, Was given Biden-Ukraine Allegations in 2018 but Didn’t Follow U

Q Drop: Fired NY Prosecutor, Berman, Was given Biden-Ukraine Allegations in 2018 but Didn’t Follow Up

Could the impeachment scandal have been prevented if the now-fired U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman had followed up on Ukrainian allegations about Joe Biden and his family in 2018 ?
That ’ s the tantalizing question raised by emails from fall 2018 between an American lawyer and the chief federal prosecutor in Manhattan that were obtained by Just the News .
The memos show that well before Ukrainian prosecutors reached out to Rudy Giuliani , President Trump ’ s lawyer , in 2019 to talk about the Bidens and alleged 2016 election interference they first approached Berman ’ s office in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American lawyer .
The memos show Little Rock , Ark.
, lawyer Bud Cummins , a former U.S. attorney himself , reached out at least five times in October 2018 to Berman seeking to arrange a meeting with then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko .
Lutsenko , who emerged as a key figure in the impeachment scandal , wanted to confidentially share with federal prosecutors in New York evidence he claimed to possess that raised concerns about the Bidens ’ behavior as well as alleged wrongdoing in the Paul Manafort corruption case .
Book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by America ’ s Progressive Elite [ Biden Family Exposed ] “ Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko is offering to come to U.S. meet with high-level law enforcement to share the fruits of investigations within Ukraine which have produced evidence of two basic alleged crimes , ” Cummins wrote Berman on Oct. 4 , 2018 , one day after the two had talked on the phone about the allegations .
The allegations included that Joe Biden had “ exercised influence to protect Burisma Holdings ” after his son Hunter and his son ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainian gas company ’ s board of directors and “ substantial sums of money were paid to them , ” Cummins wrote .
At the time Hunter Biden and Archer joined Burisma in 2014 , the company was under criminal investigation in both England and Ukraine for alleged corruption .
The British case was dropped in 2015 , and the Ukraine cases were eventually settled in the final days of the Obama administration .
Joe Biden boasted during a 2018 public appearance that he forced the firing on Lutsenko ’ s predecessor , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to withhold $ 1 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine .
At the time , Shokin was leading the investigation into Burisma .
Biden denies the investigation factored into his decision .
Biden ’ s and Archer ’ s firm received more than $ 3 million in payments from Burisma between 2014 and 2016 , bank records obtained by the FBI show .
Records recently released by the State Department also show Hunter Biden and Archer had contacts in 2015 and 2016 with senior State officials , including Secretary of State John Kerry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In addition , Burisma ’ s U.S. representatives were lobbying the State Department in Washington and the U.S. embassy in Kiev seeking to make the corruption allegations go away , the State memos released under FOIA show .
“ The allegation by Prosecutor General Lutsenko et al is that the US ambassador , Marie L. Yovanovitch , Biden and Kerry made conclusions about who were the good guys and the bad guys in local government .
They believe Biden and Kerry were influenced by payments to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Burisma , ” Cummins wrote , relaying the allegations from the Ukrainian officials .
In addition , Cummins told Berman that Lutsenko had evidence that a ledger found in Ukraine in 2016 alleging to show payments to Manafort from a Russian-backed political party in Ukraine was doctored and the U.S. knew the evidence was corrupted .
The emergence of the ledger caused Manafort to resign as Trump ’ s campaign chairman in August 2016 , and eventually led to his conviction on money laundering and tax charges .
“ The second allegation above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pressured Ukrainian officials to falsify evidence to be leaked to the media about Manafort to affect the outcome of the 2016 election , ” Cummins wrote Berman .
Cummins said in an interview he had one phone call and four email contacts with Berman in October 2018 about the Ukrainian matter , but the prosecutor ’ s office never took Lutsenko up on his offer to come to Washington and lay out his evidence .
“ I never heard from them again , ” Cummins said of Berman ’ s office .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department to address these concerns privately , and who knows how history would have turned out had the SDNY simply followed up.
” Berman , instead , would eventually indict two associates of Giuliani on campaign finance and other charges after they tried to help the former New York City mayor and Trump lawyer publicize the Ukraine prosecutors ’ concerns .
( One of the indicted associates , Lev Parnas , worked as a translator and interview facilitator for this reporter on a handful of Ukraine interviews in 2019 , but prosecutors do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that work . )
James Margolin , a spokesman for the U.S. attorney ’ s office in New York , declined comment Monday when asked about the Cummins overture in 2018 .
Cummins said he was not representing Lutsenko as his client , but rather a Ukrainian-American citizen who was trying to help the prosecutor general get information into U.S. authorities ’ hands .
Cummins ’ email states that Lutsenko wanted to meet with Berman because the U.S. attorney ’ s office in New York had successfully prosecuted Archer on unrelated charges earlier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , was overturned by a judge , and Berman ’ s office never retried the case .
Cummins ’ efforts to help arrange the meeting were confirmed by one of Lutsenko ’ s deputies , Konstantin Kulyk , who said last year that Ukrainian authorities repeatedly tried to convey evidence about possible wrongdoing by Americans to the U.S. Justice Department but were thwarted .
Lutsenko said in an interview last year that when Cummins ’ efforts failed to get an audience with the Justice Department he reached out to Giuliani , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get information investigated .
Book The Power and the Glory : Inside the Dark Heart of Pope John Paul II ’ s Vatican It was those contacts that eventually spurred the entire impeachment inquiry , which ended in January in the Senate ’ s acquittal of Trump .
Democrats have tried to portray Giuliani ’ s activities as an effort to dig up dirt on Trump ’ s 2020 rival , and to get Ukrainian officials to launch a probe of Biden .
But Cummins ’ emails make clear Ukrainian authorities weren ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainian law violations .
Rather , they wanted to confidentially provide evidence of possible violations of U.S. law so American authorities could investigate .
And they had no interest initially in involving the Trump White House .
Rather , they simply wanted to share evidence with U.S. authorities at the prosecutor-to-prosecutor level .
Cummins ’ emails to Berman make clear that Lutsenko did not trust the U.S. embassy in Kiev or the FBI to review the materials , fearing they were too political .

Could the impeachment scandal have been prevented if the now-fired U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman had followed up on Ukrainian allegations about Joe Biden and his family in 2018?
That’s the tantalizing question raised by emails from fall 2018 between an American lawyer and the chief federal prosecutor in Manhattan that were obtained by Just the News.
The memos show that well before Ukrainian prosecutors reached out to Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer, in 2019 to talk about the Bidens and alleged 2016 election interference they first approached Berman’s office in New York in October 2018 via another American lawyer.
The memos show Little Rock, Ark., lawyer Bud Cummins, a former U.S. attorney himself, reached out at least five times in October 2018 to Berman seeking to arrange a meeting with then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko.
Lutsenko, who emerged as a key figure in the impeachment scandal, wanted to confidentially share with federal prosecutors in New York evidence he claimed to possess that raised concerns about the Bidens’ behavior as well as alleged wrongdoing in the Paul Manafort corruption case.

“Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko is offering to come to U.S. meet with high-level law enforcement to share the fruits of investigations within Ukraine which have produced evidence of two basic alleged crimes,” Cummins wrote Berman on Oct. 4, 2018, one day after the two had talked on the phone about the allegations.
The allegations included that Joe Biden had “exercised influence to protect Burisma Holdings” after his son Hunter and his son’s business partner Devon Archer had joined the Ukrainian gas company’s board of directors and “substantial sums of money were paid to them,” Cummins wrote.
At the time Hunter Biden and Archer joined Burisma in 2014, the company was under criminal investigation in both England and Ukraine for alleged corruption. The British case was dropped in 2015, and the Ukraine cases were eventually settled in the final days of the Obama administration.
Joe Biden boasted during a 2018 public appearance that he forced the firing on Lutsenko’s predecessor, Viktor Shokin, back in 2016by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine. At the time, Shokin was leading the investigation into Burisma. Biden denies the investigation factored into his decision.
Biden’s and Archer’s firm received more than $3 million in payments from Burisma between 2014 and 2016, bank records obtained by the FBI show.
Records recently released by the State Department also show Hunter Biden and Archer had contacts in 2015 and 2016 with senior State officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry and Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken.
In addition, Burisma’s U.S. representatives were lobbying the State Department in Washington and the U.S. embassy in Kiev seeking to make the corruption allegations go away, the State memos released under FOIA show.
“The allegation by Prosecutor General Lutsenko et al is that the US ambassador, Marie L. Yovanovitch, Biden and Kerry made conclusions about who were the good guys and the bad guys in local government. They believe Biden and Kerry were influenced by payments to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to influence certain decisions, particularly those benefitting Burisma,” Cummins wrote, relaying the allegations from the Ukrainian officials.
In addition, Cummins told Berman that Lutsenko had evidence that a ledger found in Ukraine in 2016 alleging to show payments to Manafort from a Russian-backed political party in Ukraine was doctored and the U.S. knew the evidence was corrupted. The emergence of the ledger caused Manafort to resign as Trump’s campaign chairman in August 2016, and eventually led to his conviction on money laundering and tax charges.
“The second allegation above is that the Embassy and FBI willfully pressured Ukrainian officials to falsify evidence to be leaked to the media about Manafort to affect the outcome of the 2016 election,” Cummins wrote Berman.
Cummins said in an interview he had one phone call and four email contacts with Berman in October 2018 about the Ukrainian matter, but the prosecutor’s office never took Lutsenko up on his offer to come to Washington and lay out his evidence.
“I never heard from them again,” Cummins said of Berman’s office. “It was an opportunity for the Justice Department to address these concerns privately, and who knows how history would have turned out had the SDNY simply followed up.”
Berman, instead, would eventually indict two associates of Giuliani on campaign finance and other charges after they tried to help the former New York City mayor and Trump lawyer publicize the Ukraine prosecutors’ concerns. (One of the indicted associates, Lev Parnas, worked as a translator and interview facilitator for this reporter on a handful of Ukraine interviews in 2019, but prosecutors do not allege he did anything wrong in that work.)
James Margolin, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in New York, declined comment Monday when asked about the Cummins overture in 2018.
Cummins said he was not representing Lutsenko as his client, but rather a Ukrainian-American citizen who was trying to help the prosecutor general get information into U.S. authorities’ hands.
Cummins’ email states that Lutsenko wanted to meet with Berman because the U.S. attorney’s office in New York had successfully prosecuted Archer on unrelated charges earlier in 2018. Archer’s conviction, however, was overturned by a judge, and Berman’s office never retried the case.
Cummins’ efforts to help arrange the meeting were confirmed by one of Lutsenko’s deputies, Konstantin Kulyk, who said last year that Ukrainian authorities repeatedly tried to convey evidence about possible wrongdoing by Americans to the U.S. Justice Department but were thwarted.
Lutsenko said in an interview last year that when Cummins’ efforts failed to get an audience with the Justice Department he reached out to Giuliani, hoping to find a different channel to get information investigated.

It was those contacts that eventually spurred the entire impeachment inquiry, which ended in January in the Senate’s acquittal of Trump.
Democrats have tried to portray Giuliani’s activities as an effort to dig up dirt on Trump’s 2020 rival, and to get Ukrainian officials to launch a probe of Biden.
But Cummins’ emails make clear Ukrainian authorities weren’t interested in investigating the Bidens on Ukrainian law violations. Rather, they wanted to confidentially provide evidence of possible violations of U.S. law so American authorities could investigate. And they had no interest initially in involving the Trump White House. Rather, they simply wanted to share evidence with U.S. authorities at the prosecutor-to-prosecutor level.
Cummins’ emails to Berman make clear that Lutsenko did not trust the U.S. embassy in Kiev or the FBI to review the materials, fearing they were too political.
“Lutsenko faces political hurdles in getting a visa to come here. It is believed that the embassy in Kiev has blocked his obtaining a visa in the past. He believes it is because the US ambassador knows the nature of his investigation and wants to obstruct him from coming and sharing it,” Cummins wrote Berman on Oct. 4, 2018.
Five days later, Cummins wrote that Lutsenko was prepared to deliver serious evidence, including copies of two ledgers in the Manafort case that Ukrainian prosecutors believed were faked
“Presumably he will be prepared to discuss eyewitness testimony he believes will corroborate both this story and also the separate bribery allegations,” Cummins wrote.
When Berman stopped responding, Cummins offered to have Lutsenko meet with a lower-ranking federal prosecutor simply to transfer the evidence. “Perhaps you can provide at least one trusted prosecutor and trusted agent to meet with a couple of the actual investigators and just let them take down the information like they would if any citizen walked in the door with some information to share,” Cummins wrote on Oct. 18, 2018.
There was never any further response, Cummins said.
