newswars--2020-08-31--How Germany’s Lockdowns Have Fostered Resentment and Violence among the Nation’s Youth

Riots against police have not only occurred in the US .
Two events have spurred a public debate in Germany recently .
On the night of June 20 , police officers in Stuttgart stopped a 17-year-old to check for drugs in an area popular with young partygoers .
Two to three hundred people in the crowd of bystanders sympathized with the young man and attacked the police .
The situation escalated into riots and lootings .
Forty stores were damaged , 9 looted , and 32 police officers were injured .
The damage is estimated at between six and seven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as five hundred people participated in the riots .
Twenty-five arrests were made the same night ; 12 of the arrested were German citizens and 3 of them had an immigrant background .
The rest were citizens of other EU and non-EU countries .
On the night of July 18 , police officers in Frankfurt were attacked in front of the opera .
Five police officers were injured , several vehicles damaged .
Witnesses reported that the crowd of five to eight hundred people cheered when bottles hit the police .
Thirty-nine people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were young men between the ages of 17 and 23 ; most of them had an immigration background .
These events seem small compared to the riots in the USA , but there are important similarities : young people united against the police after several months of covid-19 restrictions .
The events in Stuttgart and Frankfurt were found to be spontaneous outbreaks of violence without a political motivation .
This is despite the fact that there have been Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Germany as well against alleged racism in the police , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US .
These demonstrations may just have served as a catalyst for built-up anger .
The root cause of this violence is the government ’ s massive interference in personal liberties through drug prohibition and the lockdowns .
Twelve percent of German residents are non-Germans .
In 2018 , the latest year of available official statistics , 27 percent of the suspects in drug offenses ( all nonviolent ) were non-Germans .
Non-Germans do not have German citizenship .
Suspects with German citizenship and an immigration background are treated as Germans .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and there are no numbers on police checks on the street .
There is , however , a general sentiment that police target people perceived as foreigners more than “ ethnic ” Germans , that they check people with an immigrant background more than those without one .
This has caused skeptical to downright hostile sentiment against the police , not only in this group but among their peers .
The above statistics need to be read with care .
The Bundeskriminalamt ( equivalent to the FBI ) reports on suspects , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also no data on spontaneous checks .
But there is one very important aspect to this data : 11 percent of the suspects were boys between 14 and 18 years old , 16 percent were young men between 18 and 21 , and 61 percent were men above 21 .
There is no data on the older age groups , but it is clear that overwhelming majority of suspects are male , and most probably of a younger age .
The Effects of the Lockdown People in Germany have seen massive restrictions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the end of World War II .
Businesses were closed , factories shut down , and meeting people outside your household was banned for a while and limited later .
How could the government enforce such drastic measures ?
Etienne de la Boetie ( The Politics of Obedience : The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude ) has argued that all governments rest on the consent of their citizens .
In this case , the government has bought this consent by promising to save lives and save the economy with huge spending financed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to pay more taxes .
A key group of supporters of the government is public employees .
In September 2019 , before covid-19 , 45.28 million people in Germany were employed .
The state ( all levels ) employed 4.8 million , or 10.6 percent .
In addition to that , there were around 18 million retirees ( 18.2 million in 2017 ) .
They also receive their income from the state .
This means that there is a very large group of people whose financial well-being was not sacrificed during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this payoff ?
According to the union of public employees , only 2.7 percent of public employees are under the age of 25 .
Young people did not get these massive handouts from the state .
On the contrary , they are the ones who will have to pay back the €156 billion public debt that the state has taken on to provide “ relief.
” Their schools and universities have been closed , lectures are mainly online now , which can decrease the quality of teaching .
Beyond that , they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay the pensions of the older generation that did receive the handouts .
In Germany , the currently employed pay the pensions of the retired .
Demographic development will increase the amount that the employed generation has to pay .
Right now there are 2.1 employed people for every person who is retired .
The younger generation faces economic distress right now and in the future .
This situation is aggravated by banning social contact and closing places where younger people meet with their peers .
Third places outside the home and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boundaries .
For several months , there have been no outlets for the prevention violence in young men through boxing gyms , etc .
They were locked up for weeks , which leads to aggression and is especially bad for young men who would naturally be rebellious .
If testosterone-laden boys can not meet with their friends ( and , probably more important , their girlfriends ) , can not release energy at the gym , and are not receiving any value-oriented education , there are solid conditions for escalating violence .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of anger against the state , a state that has continuously interfered with their personal liberty and property .
A group of mayors from the green party , the Social Democrats , and the Christian conservatives in an open letter appealed to the government to support a policy in which all young people in Germany would be forced to work for one year in what they called “ basic social service ” ( gesellschaftlicher Grunddienst ) , similar to the mandatory “ social year ” we had before .
Some media commentators enthusiastically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong way forward .
One really wonders about the sensibility of these politicians , who write in the same letter : Young people do not learn respect , acceptance , tolerance on Wikipedia , Facebook , and Instagram , but in the interaction with others .
At the place of apprenticeship .
In the [ sports ] club .
During everyday life .
Here one practices the discourse and contact with others….These social training places are becoming less and less .
The way forward is not in complaining about such social places becoming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem .
The way forward is to stop threatening further restrictions , to stop advocating “ a new normal ” without social interaction , and to stop harassing young people for every decision they want to make for themselves .
The federal police already implicitly recognizes drug offenses as victimless crimes ( it collects statistics only on offenders , not victims , in contrast to their data for violent crimes ) .
They should stop treating them as crimes outright .
After all , 60 percent of the drug offenses are related to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alone .
Let them make friends .
Let them learn .
End the government intrusion in their lives .

Riots against police have not only occurred in the US.
Two events have spurred a public debate in Germany recently. On the night of June 20, police officers in Stuttgart stopped a 17-year-old to check for drugs in an area popular with young partygoers. Two to three hundred people in the crowd of bystanders sympathized with the young man and attacked the police. The situation escalated into riots and lootings. Forty stores were damaged, 9 looted, and 32 police officers were injured. The damage is estimated at between six and seven figures. Police believe that as many as five hundred people participated in the riots. Twenty-five arrests were made the same night; 12 of the arrested were German citizens and 3 of them had an immigrant background. The rest were citizens of other EU and non-EU countries. On the night of July 18, police officers in Frankfurt were attacked in front of the opera. Five police officers were injured, several vehicles damaged. Witnesses reported that the crowd of five to eight hundred people cheered when bottles hit the police. Thirty-nine people were arrested. All but one woman were young men between the ages of 17 and 23; most of them had an immigration background.
These events seem small compared to the riots in the USA, but there are important similarities: young people united against the police after several months of covid-19 restrictions. The events in Stuttgart and Frankfurt were found to be spontaneous outbreaks of violence without a political motivation. This is despite the fact that there have been Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Germany as well against alleged racism in the police, which were followed by riots in the US. These demonstrations may just have served as a catalyst for built-up anger. The root cause of this violence is the government’s massive interference in personal liberties through drug prohibition and the lockdowns.
The Drug War and Racism
Twelve percent of German residents are non-Germans. In 2018, the latest year of available official statistics, 27 percent of the suspects in drug offenses (all nonviolent) were non-Germans. Non-Germans do not have German citizenship. Suspects with German citizenship and an immigration background are treated as Germans. There are no numbers on this group, and there are no numbers on police checks on the street. There is, however, a general sentiment that police target people perceived as foreigners more than “ethnic” Germans, that they check people with an immigrant background more than those without one. This has caused skeptical to downright hostile sentiment against the police, not only in this group but among their peers.
The above statistics need to be read with care. The Bundeskriminalamt (equivalent to the FBI) reports on suspects, not convicted offenders, here. There is also no data on spontaneous checks. But there is one very important aspect to this data: 11 percent of the suspects were boys between 14 and 18 years old, 16 percent were young men between 18 and 21, and 61 percent were men above 21. There is no data on the older age groups, but it is clear that overwhelming majority of suspects are male, and most probably of a younger age.
The Effects of the Lockdown
People in Germany have seen massive restrictions of their personal freedom unseen in West Germany since the end of World War II. Businesses were closed, factories shut down, and meeting people outside your household was banned for a while and limited later. How could the government enforce such drastic measures? Etienne de la Boetie (The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude) has argued that all governments rest on the consent of their citizens. In this case, the government has bought this consent by promising to save lives and save the economy with huge spending financed by public debt so that no one will have to pay more taxes. A key group of supporters of the government is public employees. In September 2019, before covid-19, 45.28 million people in Germany were employed. The state (all levels) employed 4.8 million, or 10.6 percent. In addition to that, there were around 18 million retirees (18.2 million in 2017). They also receive their income from the state. This means that there is a very large group of people whose financial well-being was not sacrificed during the lockdowns. But who did not get this payoff? According to the union of public employees, only 2.7 percent of public employees are under the age of 25.
Young people did not get these massive handouts from the state. On the contrary, they are the ones who will have to pay back the €156 billion public debt that the state has taken on to provide “relief.” Their schools and universities have been closed, lectures are mainly online now, which can decrease the quality of teaching. Beyond that, they are the ones who will then have to pay the pensions of the older generation that did receive the handouts. In Germany, the currently employed pay the pensions of the retired. Demographic development will increase the amount that the employed generation has to pay. Right now there are 2.1 employed people for every person who is retired. The younger generation faces economic distress right now and in the future.
This situation is aggravated by banning social contact and closing places where younger people meet with their peers. Third places outside the home and the workplace are essential for communicating values and boundaries. For several months, there have been no outlets for the prevention violence in young men through boxing gyms, etc. They were locked up for weeks, which leads to aggression and is especially bad for young men who would naturally be rebellious. If testosterone-laden boys cannot meet with their friends (and, probably more important, their girlfriends), cannot release energy at the gym, and are not receiving any value-oriented education, there are solid conditions for escalating violence.
The Way Forward
The violence against the police is an outbreak of anger against the state, a state that has continuously interfered with their personal liberty and property. A group of mayors from the green party, the Social Democrats, and the Christian conservatives in an open letter appealed to the government to support a policy in which all young people in Germany would be forced to work for one year in what they called “basic social service” (gesellschaftlicher Grunddienst), similar to the mandatory “social year” we had before. Some media commentators enthusiastically embraced this idea. This is the wrong way forward. One really wonders about the sensibility of these politicians, who write in the same letter:
Young people do not learn respect, acceptance, tolerance on Wikipedia, Facebook, and Instagram, but in the interaction with others. At the place of apprenticeship. In the [sports] club. During everyday life. Here one practices the discourse and contact with others….These social training places are becoming less and less.
The way forward is not in complaining about such social places becoming less, because that is not the problem. The way forward is to stop threatening further restrictions, to stop advocating “a new normal” without social interaction, and to stop harassing young people for every decision they want to make for themselves. The federal police already implicitly recognizes drug offenses as victimless crimes (it collects statistics only on offenders, not victims, in contrast to their data for violent crimes). They should stop treating them as crimes outright. After all, 60 percent of the drug offenses are related to cannabis alone. Leave the young people alone. Let them make friends. Let them learn. End the government intrusion in their lives.

newswars--2020-08-31--America’s Private Militias of the Nineteenth Century

Since at least as early as the mid-1990s , the term “ militia ” has been increasingly used by journalists and scholars on the left in connection with alleged “ right-wing extremists.
” Over time , the term “ militia ” has been used to describe nearly any group of nonleftist armed men , and has been generally used in close connection with terms like “ extremism , ” “ violence , ” and “ vigilante.
” We have been reminded of this in recent years during riots in places like Ferguson , Missouri ( in 2014 ) , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In both cases , armed volunteers attempted to assist private sector business owners with protecting their property from looters and rioters .
And in both cases , the volunteers were described with terms such as : “ violent , ” “ militia , ” “ extreme , ” and “ white vigilante.
” Historically in the United States , however , the term “ militia ” had entirely different connotations .
Throughout much of the nineteenth century , militias were considered to be common institutions central to civic and community life .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ festivals and celebrations , and they functioned in some ways as fraternal orders function today .
Although some critics of the militia idea have attempted to claim militias existed primarily to suppress slave rebellions , the fact is militias were common and widespread in Northern states where they had no role whatsoever in maintaining the institution of slavery .
In fact , militias often served an important role in providing opportunities and community cohesion for new immigrants .
The Local Militias of the Nineteenth Century What ’ s more , many militias were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and functioned largely as private entities .
They elected their own officers , were self-funded , and trained on their own schedules .
Although they were ostensibly commanded by the state governors , this system of functionally private militias became an established part of daily life for many Americans .
These were local volunteer militias with names like the “ Richardson Light Guard , ” the “ Detroit Light Guard , ” or the “ Asmonean Guard.
” They were essentially private clubs composed of gun owners who were expected to assist in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and towns of the United States .
They were separate from the so-called common militias , which developed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries , and which in many cases were staffed with conscripts , were funded with tax dollars , and were commanded by an established state bureaucracy .
But by the Jacksonian period , new volunteer militias began to arise .
As noted by Jeffrey Rogers Hummel , the United States by the 1830s had seen “ a remarkable growth in the privately organized volunteer militia .
The number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American Revolution , but after the war of 1812 , it exploded .
Three hundred sprang up in California alone between 1849 and 1856.
” These groups were , in the words of historian Marcus Cunliffe , “ volunteer companies existing independently of the statewide system of militia , and they held themselves aloof from the common mass .
They provided their own uniforms.
” They also elected their own officers , did their own fundraising , staffed their own governing boards , and sought out for themselves a secure position within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earlier decades , especially the 1830s and 1840s , these groups tended to be “ elite ” in the sense that they attracted upper middle– and upper-class members of the community .
This was in many cases because of the cost of funding these volunteer militias .
As a member of the Detroit Light Guard remembered , “ at that time the company got nothing from the State .
They had to pay for all they got , uniforms and all.
” But by the 1850s , firearms and uniforms were becoming more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This brought in many new members from outside the local elite circles of established families .
Moreover , some militias were able to solicit funding from wealthy members of the community who acted as patrons .
The case of the Richardson Light Guard ( RLG ) is instructive : The RLG came into being in South Reading , Massachusetts , in 1851 , in response to a perceived shortage of militiamen in the years following the Mexican War .
At the time , all that was necessary for the militia to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group to “ petition the governor ” for what amounted to a nod of approval .
This was granted .
But at that point , the group still lacked funding .
Although members paid dues , historian Barry Stentiford notes that “ Dues were not enough [ to ] cover the expenses of the fledgling company , and committee members had to use their own money to carry out its business.
” Members came up with a plan to offer “ honorary memberships ” to wealthy members of the community .
The largest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ named Richardson , after whom the militia was soon named .
Funding from prominent community members also added legitimacy to the group and ensured it would continue to be regarded as a community-sanctioned group of armed men .
Although the RLG enjoyed legal sanction , it was essentially a private organization , and Stentiford notes , “ At its inception , the RLG belonged to its members , and to prominent residents of the town of South Reading .
The town of South Reading , the Commonwealth of Massachusetts , and the federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” In other words , while everyone admitted local , state , and federal officials enjoyed some form of control of the militia , this authority was tentative at best .
Massachusetts wasn ’ t the only place were militias were privately funded and privately controlled .
When Iowa became a US territory in 1838 , for example , an “ official ” territorial militia was formed .
On the other hand : The formation of local militia groups was more relaxed in comparison to the State militia service .
To form a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for local men to sign up , name the group , possibly elect officials or form by-laws , and then write to the Iowa Territory legislature to introduce themselves and request weapons….If you received a positive letter back and weapons , you were a militia group in the Territory of Iowa .
Indeed , this sort of local—and even private ownership—was an increasingly common method of organizing militias by midcentury .
Hummel concludes that “ Because many volunteer units were privately organized , recruited , and equipped , the militia became a partially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their local nature , many militias reflected local character as well—and access was hardly limited to national ethnic majorities .
By the 1850s , immigrants had come to dominate many volunteer militias , with Irish , Scottish , and German militias becoming especially common .
The Scottish militiamen wore kilts as part of their parade uniforms .
The Italians created a “ Guardia Nazionale Italiana.
” Robert Ernst notes that the “ significance of the immigrant military companies is evident in the fact that in 1853 , more than 4,000 of the 6,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of foreign birth.
” Nor were militia groups limited to Christians .
Jack D. Foner recounts in the American Jewish Archives Journal : Jews in New York City formed military companies of their own .
Troop K , Empire Hussars , was composed entirely of Jews , as was the Young Men ’ s Lafayette Association .
A third unit , the Asmonean Guard , consisted of both Jewish and Christian employees of The Asmonean , one of the earliest Anglo-Jewish weekly newspapers .
“ Our employees , ” commented the newspaper , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mania , as they have enrolled themselves into an independent corps.
” As militias became more middle class , their names changed as well .
Militias began to refer to themselves with names that might be used for sports teams today , including terms like “ Invincibles , ” “ Avengers , ” and “ Snake Hunters.
” Dress uniforms were often extravagant and modeled on Napoleon ’ s troops earlier in the century .
These groups were even known to impress foreigners .
As one Englishman remarked : “ They marched in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their head and…it would be impossible to find a more military-looking , well-drilled body of men.
” These volunteer militias were attractive to potential members , because these groups served many social functions as well .
As noted by historian Briton Cooper Busch , “ in peacetime , all [ volunteer militias ] helped their communities celebrate festivals , holidays , and funerals with marches , balls , and banquets , helping out in emergencies , and often building an esprit de corps which established a basis for effective wartime service and even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ membership in a local militia provided opportunities for social advancement , and “ it was not uncommon for individual families to have long associations with these institutions.
” For newcomers to any community , whether or not of foreign origin , “ the militia company provided a means for newer residents to embed themselves into the fabric of the community.
” The volunteer militias played a similar role to that of the volunteer fire brigades of this period , which in many communities came to be dominated by immigrant groups and served as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and economic lives of newcomers .
Needless to say , this model of American militias is long gone from the imagination of nearly all Americans .
Modern-day journalists and scholars have been hard at work attempting to connect militias , past and present , either to slavery or to fringe groups and vigilantism .
Moreover , many Americans now regard the idea of privately controlled bands of armed men with trepidation and fear .
As the size and scope of taxpayer-funded bureaucratic agencies grew throughout the nineteenth century , private volunteer militias were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late nineteenth century was a period during which states and the federal government went to great lengths to end the old system of locally controlled militias , and this was topped off by the Militia Act of 1903 which largely ended state autonomy in controlling state military resources as well .
By 1945 , the National Guard was well on its way to becoming little more than an auxiliary to the federal government ’ s military establishment , although some remnants of the old decentralized system remained .
When it comes to urban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respects replaced by today ’ s state and local police forces , which unlike the volunteer militias are on the job full-time and enjoy immunity and privileges far beyond what any militia member of old might have ever dreamed of having .
Rather than private self-funded militias called out only occasionally to quell riots and uprisings , we have immense , taxpayer-paid police forces with military equipment , SWAT teams , and riot gear to carry out no-knock raids ( often getting the address wrong ) .
The old militia system was by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a more centralized bureaucratic system is not without costs of its own , both in terms of dollars and the potential for abuse .
Moreover , as has become increasingly apparent in recent years , National Guard troops and local police forces are clearly inadequate to provide safety and security for private homes and businesses .
Half of the nation ’ s violent crimes remain “ unsolved ” as police focus on petty drug offenses rather than homicides .
Meanwhile—as happened in both Ferguson and Kenosha—National Guard troops focus their protection on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The dominant shapers of public opinion would have us believe that volunteer groups of armed men must be regarded with horror .
Yet it is increasingly clear that the institutions that have replaced the militias of the past still leave much to be desired .

Since at least as early as the mid-1990s, the term “militia” has been increasingly used by journalists and scholars on the left in connection with alleged “right-wing extremists.”
Over time, the term “militia” has been used to describe nearly any group of nonleftist armed men, and has been generally used in close connection with terms like “extremism,” “violence,” and “vigilante.” We have been reminded of this in recent years during riots in places like Ferguson, Missouri (in 2014), and Kenosha, Wisconsin (in 2020). In both cases, armed volunteers attempted to assist private sector business owners with protecting their property from looters and rioters. And in both cases, the volunteers were described with terms such as: “violent,” “militia,” “extreme,” and “white vigilante.”
Historically in the United States, however, the term “militia” had entirely different connotations. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, militias were considered to be common institutions central to civic and community life. They were a common fixture of local festivals and celebrations, and they functioned in some ways as fraternal orders function today.
Although some critics of the militia idea have attempted to claim militias existed primarily to suppress slave rebellions, the fact is militias were common and widespread in Northern states where they had no role whatsoever in maintaining the institution of slavery. In fact, militias often served an important role in providing opportunities and community cohesion for new immigrants.
The Local Militias of the Nineteenth Century
What’s more, many militias were independent of a centralized state militia system and functioned largely as private entities. They elected their own officers, were self-funded, and trained on their own schedules. Although they were ostensibly commanded by the state governors, this system of functionally private militias became an established part of daily life for many Americans. These were local volunteer militias with names like the “Richardson Light Guard,” the “Detroit Light Guard,” or the “Asmonean Guard.” They were essentially private clubs composed of gun owners who were expected to assist in keeping law and order within the cities and towns of the United States.
They were separate from the so-called common militias, which developed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and which in many cases were staffed with conscripts, were funded with tax dollars, and were commanded by an established state bureaucracy.
But by the Jacksonian period, new volunteer militias began to arise. As noted by Jeffrey Rogers Hummel, the United States by the 1830s had seen “a remarkable growth in the privately organized volunteer militia. The number of volunteer units had been expanding steadily since the American Revolution, but after the war of 1812, it exploded. Three hundred sprang up in California alone between 1849 and 1856.”
These groups were, in the words of historian Marcus Cunliffe, “volunteer companies existing independently of the statewide system of militia, and they held themselves aloof from the common mass. They provided their own uniforms.”
They also elected their own officers, did their own fundraising, staffed their own governing boards, and sought out for themselves a secure position within the communities where members lived. In earlier decades, especially the 1830s and 1840s, these groups tended to be “elite” in the sense that they attracted upper middle– and upper-class members of the community. This was in many cases because of the cost of funding these volunteer militias.
As a member of the Detroit Light Guard remembered, “at that time the company got nothing from the State. They had to pay for all they got, uniforms and all.”
But by the 1850s, firearms and uniforms were becoming more affordable to the middle and working classes. This brought in many new members from outside the local elite circles of established families. Moreover, some militias were able to solicit funding from wealthy members of the community who acted as patrons. The case of the Richardson Light Guard (RLG) is instructive:
The RLG came into being in South Reading, Massachusetts, in 1851, in response to a perceived shortage of militiamen in the years following the Mexican War. At the time, all that was necessary for the militia to be regarded as legally sanctions was for the group to “petition the governor” for what amounted to a nod of approval. This was granted. But at that point, the group still lacked funding. Although members paid dues, historian Barry Stentiford notes that “Dues were not enough [to] cover the expenses of the fledgling company, and committee members had to use their own money to carry out its business.”
Members came up with a plan to offer “honorary memberships” to wealthy members of the community. The largest donor in this scheme was a man named Richardson, after whom the militia was soon named. Funding from prominent community members also added legitimacy to the group and ensured it would continue to be regarded as a community-sanctioned group of armed men.
Although the RLG enjoyed legal sanction, it was essentially a private organization, and Stentiford notes, “At its inception, the RLG belonged to its members, and to prominent residents of the town of South Reading. The town of South Reading, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the federal government occupied a diminishing hierarchy of influence.”
In other words, while everyone admitted local, state, and federal officials enjoyed some form of control of the militia, this authority was tentative at best.
Massachusetts wasn’t the only place were militias were privately funded and privately controlled. When Iowa became a US territory in 1838, for example, an “official” territorial militia was formed. On the other hand:
The formation of local militia groups was more relaxed in comparison to the State militia service. To form a local militia group one would simply ask for local men to sign up, name the group, possibly elect officials or form by-laws, and then write to the Iowa Territory legislature to introduce themselves and request weapons….If you received a positive letter back and weapons, you were a militia group in the Territory of Iowa.
Indeed, this sort of local—and even private ownership—was an increasingly common method of organizing militias by midcentury. Hummel concludes that “Because many volunteer units were privately organized, recruited, and equipped, the militia became a partially privatized system as well.”
Because of their local nature, many militias reflected local character as well—and access was hardly limited to national ethnic majorities. By the 1850s, immigrants had come to dominate many volunteer militias, with Irish, Scottish, and German militias becoming especially common. The Scottish militiamen wore kilts as part of their parade uniforms. The Italians created a “Guardia Nazionale Italiana.” Robert Ernst notes that the “significance of the immigrant military companies is evident in the fact that in 1853, more than 4,000 of the 6,000 uniformed militia in New York City were of foreign birth.”

A third unit, the Asmonean Guard, consisted of both Jewish and Christian employees of The Asmonean, one of the earliest Anglo-Jewish weekly newspapers. “Our employees,” commented the newspaper, “have been seized with this military mania, as they have enrolled themselves into an independent corps.”
As militias became more middle class, their names changed as well. Militias began to refer to themselves with names that might be used for sports teams today, including terms like “Invincibles,” “Avengers,” and “Snake Hunters.”
Dress uniforms were often extravagant and modeled on Napoleon’s troops earlier in the century. These groups were even known to impress foreigners. As one Englishman remarked: “They marched in sections, with a splendid band at their head and…it would be impossible to find a more military-looking, well-drilled body of men.”
These volunteer militias were attractive to potential members, because these groups served many social functions as well. As noted by historian Briton Cooper Busch, “in peacetime, all [volunteer militias] helped their communities celebrate festivals, holidays, and funerals with marches, balls, and banquets, helping out in emergencies, and often building an esprit de corps which established a basis for effective wartime service and even elite reputations.”
In many cases, membership in a local militia provided opportunities for social advancement, and “it was not uncommon for individual families to have long associations with these institutions.” For newcomers to any community, whether or not of foreign origin, “the militia company provided a means for newer residents to embed themselves into the fabric of the community.”
The volunteer militias played a similar role to that of the volunteer fire brigades of this period, which in many communities came to be dominated by immigrant groups and served as a way to and advance the social and economic lives of newcomers.
Militias Replaced by Full-Time Government Police and Centralized “National Guard”
Needless to say, this model of American militias is long gone from the imagination of nearly all Americans. Modern-day journalists and scholars have been hard at work attempting to connect militias, past and present, either to slavery or to fringe groups and vigilantism. Moreover, many Americans now regard the idea of privately controlled bands of armed men with trepidation and fear.
As the size and scope of taxpayer-funded bureaucratic agencies grew throughout the nineteenth century, private volunteer militias were deemed increasingly unnecessary and undesirable. The late nineteenth century was a period during which states and the federal government went to great lengths to end the old system of locally controlled militias, and this was topped off by the Militia Act of 1903 which largely ended state autonomy in controlling state military resources as well. By 1945, the National Guard was well on its way to becoming little more than an auxiliary to the federal government’s military establishment, although some remnants of the old decentralized system remained.
When it comes to urban environments, these militia were in many respects replaced by today’s state and local police forces, which unlike the volunteer militias are on the job full-time and enjoy immunity and privileges far beyond what any militia member of old might have ever dreamed of having. Rather than private self-funded militias called out only occasionally to quell riots and uprisings, we have immense, taxpayer-paid police forces with military equipment, SWAT teams, and riot gear to carry out no-knock raids (often getting the address wrong).
The old militia system was by no means flawless, but this switch to a more centralized bureaucratic system is not without costs of its own, both in terms of dollars and the potential for abuse.
Moreover, as has become increasingly apparent in recent years, National Guard troops and local police forces are clearly inadequate to provide safety and security for private homes and businesses. Half of the nation’s violent crimes remain “unsolved” as police focus on petty drug offenses rather than homicides. Meanwhile—as happened in both Ferguson and Kenosha—National Guard troops focus their protection on government buildings while private businesses burn.
The dominant shapers of public opinion would have us believe that volunteer groups of armed men must be regarded with horror. Yet it is increasingly clear that the institutions that have replaced the militias of the past still leave much to be desired.

A new character who is set to be the antagonist of upcoming supehero movie Wonder Woman 1984 has been confirmed by director Patty Jenkins to be loosely based on Donald Trump .
In an interview with Screenrant , Jenkins confirmed that the new Trump-esque character , named Maxwell Lord , who is said to be a 1980s businessman , was indeed based on the current President of the United States .
“ So , yes , Trump ’ s definitely one of the people that we looked at , but it ’ s any of those kind of mavericks of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ 80s , ” she said .
“ Who went on to be major players in our world in potentially questionable other ways.

The images released of Pascal in costume as Lord so far bear a close physical resemblance to President Trump .
Jenkins also noted that Bernie Madoff also served as an inspiration for the Maxwell Lord character .
“ A huge influence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” she said .
“ Those young Madoff stories fascinate me.

“ Everybody needs to look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , our belief system of excess.

The French foreign minister has blamed unrealistic expectations of the British government for a stall in talks on post-Brexit trade between the UK and the European Union.
“The negotiations are not advancing because of an intransigent and, let’s be clear, unrealistic attitude of the United Kingdom,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Monday.
The rebuke came during a speech to French ambassadors based in Europe, which Le Drian delivered during a workshop he conducted alongside his German counterpart, Heiko Maas. Germany currently holds the rotating EU presidency.
Maas said the European Union was as united as ever in striking an unambiguous trade agreement with Britain, adding that the ball was in London’s court. Unless a deal is sealed by the end of the year, commerce between the two sides will be regulated by general WTO terms starting December.
The sides blame each other for the continued gridlock and are increasingly skeptical that the negotiations may succeed in time.

The suspect appeared at the Tallahassee protest over the weekend carrying a sign during a demonstration at the state capital. The man soon attracted a crowd who surrounded him and pelted him with curses, until members of the crowd physically lashed out at him.
While several of the protesters told local media that the suspect threw the first punch, the video tells a different story. And police investigating the incident ruled with that.
The Tallahassee PD released a statement relaying the facts of the incident. Police said a white man began “documenting the protest” and then was pushed from behind. A fight ensued, police said, and the man was knocked to the ground.
“He got back to his feet and brandished a gun,” but “officers quickly engaged, took the individual into custody and peacefully dispersed the crowd.”
No charges were filed, and no injuries were reported as the suspect “was lawfully carrying a concealed weapon as a license holder.”
Tallahassee PD’s statement ended with a warning, and a plea, calling for people to remain peaceful.
“Tensions are very high, and TPD is calling for protests and actions to remain peaceful. Verbal and physical altercations can quickly escalate into tragedy. Everyone must work together to de-escalate conflict,” the statement said.
Police also released a couple of videos so citizens could judge for themselves. The videos clearly show that the gun owner was “knocked to the ground and under attack before lawfully defending himself.”

Professor Angelo M. Codevilla warns that if the Democrats win the 2020 elections , it would be “ virtually impossible for conservatives ever to win again.
” Codevilla , who is professor emeritus of International Relations at Boston University , made the prediction in a review published by the Claremont Review of Books for Michael Anton ’ s new book The Stakes : America at the Point of No Return .
The book makes the argument that although some Americans may be disappointed in Trump ’ s performance , voting for him again is absolutely crucial for the republic ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s ruling class would use control of the presidency to hurt us in our private and public lives for having dared to reject their mastery.
” Importing non-citizens who are then given the vote , as well as institutionalizing elections by mail , which would give those who count the votes the power , would ‘ guarantee disaster ’ for the country , according to Codevilla .
He then issues a stark warning ; It ’ s game over permanently for Republicans if Trump loses in 2020 .
“ Should the Democrats win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone who controls American government and society ’ s commanding heights—is ready , willing , and eager to implement plans that would make it virtually impossible for conservatives ever to win national elections again , ” writes Codevilla .
The professor also cautions that Democrats ’ stated refusal to concede to Donald Trump , which was recently amplified by Hillary Clinton , could manifest itself in “ one or more blue state governors to refuse to certify that state ’ s electors to the Electoral College , so as to prevent the college @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the winner.
” This threatens to set off a “ systemic crisis ” that could lead to a civil war “ less like the American Civil War of the 19th century and more like the horror that bled Spain in the 20th.
” In the age of mass Silicon Valley censorship It is crucial that we stay in touch .

The book makes the argument that although some Americans may be disappointed in Trump’s performance, voting for him again is absolutely crucial for the republic’s survival because “this country’s ruling class would use control of the presidency to hurt us in our private and public lives for having dared to reject their mastery.”
Importing non-citizens who are then given the vote, as well as institutionalizing elections by mail, which would give those who count the votes the power, would ‘guarantee disaster’ for the country, according to Codevilla.
He then issues a stark warning; It’s game over permanently for Republicans if Trump loses in 2020.
“Should the Democrats win, the ruling Left—which includes just about everyone who controls American government and society’s commanding heights—is ready, willing, and eager to implement plans that would make it virtually impossible for conservatives ever to win national elections again,” writes Codevilla.
The professor also cautions that Democrats’ stated refusal to concede to Donald Trump, which was recently amplified by Hillary Clinton, could manifest itself in “one or more blue state governors to refuse to certify that state’s electors to the Electoral College, so as to prevent the college from recording a majority of votes for the winner.”
This threatens to set off a “systemic crisis” that could lead to a civil war “less like the American Civil War of the 19th century and more like the horror that bled Spain in the 20th.”

“I know that they are working on it. Look, we have seen about 300 arrests across this country regarding civil unrest and protesting, violent protesting and I would say, criminal protesting,” Wolf said,
“I know the Department of Justice has charged about 74, 75 individuals there in Portland with different federal crimes,” Wolf continued.

Amid the violence, videos have emerged of BLM and Antifa agitators in Kenosha and Oakland, California, marching and chanting ‘Death to America’:

newswars--2020-09-01--Two Polls Show Black Support For Trump Has More Than Doubled Since 2016

Two new polls show that President Trump has more than doubled his support amongst African-Americans , from 8 per cent in 2016 to 19 per cent today , despite five straight years of the media denouncing him as a racist .
“ That both Emerson and Democracy Institute show 19 % Black support for Trump confirms that Trump could be headed to significant support here .
Trump received 8 % of the Black vote in 2016 , ” tweeted PollWatch .
The numbers suggest that Joe Biden ’ s attempt to blame Trump for sowing the “ hatred and division @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lives Matter protests and riots has completely failed .
The polls also indicate that the media ’ s tactic of exhaustively denouncing Trump as a “ racist ” for the last half a decade has also completely backfired .
Candace Owens , who has led the ‘ Blexit ’ campaign to encourage African-Americans to get off the Democrat reservation , commented on the poll results .
“ Back in 2017 I said “ 20 points in 2020 ” and people laughed at me .
Now it ’ s 2020 and the prognosis looks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are waking up and breaking free , ” she tweeted .
As we highlighted yesterday , money in the betting market , which is traditionally seen as more reliable than polls , has shifted heavily towards Trump in recent weeks .
Both polls and anecdotal evidence suggests three months of rioting and unrest have seriously harmed Biden ’ s chances , with observers comparing the situation to 1968 when Richard Nixon swept to victory by promising to end the lawlessness that had gripped America .

newswars--2020-09-01--Broken Brain Biden: ‘Trump Is STROKING Violence’

Joe Biden was allowed out of his basement Monday , and immediately contributed to yet more plummeting poll numbers by making several gaffes , including declaring that President Trump is “ stroking violence ” in US cities .
“ He doesn ’ t want to shed light , he wants to generate heat , and he ’ s stroking violence in our cities , ” Biden declared after charging that Trump is “ incapable of telling the truth , incapable of telling the facts , and incapable of healing.
” Biden began the rambling diatribe by bizarrely comparing the unrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ II .
“ In the early days of World War II , Franklin Roosevelt , and I quote , ‘ the news is going to get worse and worse before it gets better and better , and the American people deserve to have it straight from the shoulder.
’ ” Biden said , barely making any sense .
The rest of his appearances were riddled with flubs and head scratching moments : At one point , Biden babbled about coronavirus , stating “ COVID has taken this year , just since the outbreak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Look .
Here ’ s… The lives… It ’ s just… I mean , think about it .
More lives this year than any other year , for the past hundred years.
” Speaking at a former steel factory in Pittsburgh , Penn.
, Biden once again accused Trump of being behind the rioting , declaring that Trump “ can ’ t stop the violence — because for years he has fomented it.
” Biden also weakly attempted to distance himself from radical leftists , proclaiming to the crowd “ You know me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know my story — my family ’ s story .
Ask yourself , do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters ?
Really ?
” Earlier in the day , Biden appeared to threaten Americans with more violence unless they vote for him :
