Obamagate and the race riots

Is n't it interesting that Black Lives Matter and Antifa anarchists launched a national campaign of mayhem and rioting at the start of the weekly news cycle in which the fully exculpatory Michael Flynn transcripts were finally released to the public ?
The trigger , was , of course , the outrageous and possibly deliberate George Floyd killing , conveniently carried out in full public view and captured on video for instantaneous social media virality .

The main purpose of the rioting , as was true of the now-waning COVID-19 Plandemic , is to spread fear .
Fear is what keeps a sizable portion of the American people `` sheltered-in-place , '' and that phenomenon of social destabilization is the key to preventing economic recovery .
An orchestrated economic depression is , of course , the cornerstone of the elites ' plan for taking down President Trump ( which I again predict will fail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Psy-Ops , with all its disinformation , propaganda and political intrigue , has always been about from its very beginning , when Barack Obama first began to realize that Trump could actually beat Hillary , thanks to the sabotage of the HRC campaign and the DNC by Bernie zealot Seth Rich , the Wikileaker whistleblower who was ( I opine ) murdered in broad daylight for that act of treachery .
The timing of the rioting , and his immediate , highly inflammatory public statement , betrays the hand of Barack Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also in my WND column of Jan. 3 , 2017 .
I compared Obama 's actions between the Trump election and inauguration to Hitler 's sabotage of France 's Cherbourg harbor just after D-Day in WWII .
I then noted that Obama had taken the highly irregular step of setting up his own post-presidency political base in Washington , D.C .
I closed with this prediction : `` I have no doubt that Obama is planning his own Battle of Bloody Gulch [ Hitler 's Cherbourg counter-offensive after the Americans had taken the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] but one which he assumes he will win .
Megalomaniacs can not surrender graciously .

Be certain of it , and never stop fighting until freedom has been restored . ''
The very next day ( Jan. 4 ) , I published an article titled `` Obama 's Desperate War-With-Russia Gambit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was literally trying to orchestrate a hot war with Russia .
My WND column of Feb. 17 , 2020 , titled `` Heroic Michael Flynn may have prevented WWIII , '' updated that argument with new facts .

Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said last week after Minneapolis became engulfed in rioting in response to the death of a black man in police custody that "systemic racism must be addressed if we are to secure, justice, peace and order for all Minnesotans."
President Trump, as have the vast majority of Americans, has strongly condemned the police officer who put his knee on the neck of 46-year-old George Floyd one week ago for more than eight minutes amid cries of "I can't breathe."
Officer Derek Chavin faces a charge of third-degree murder, but the country is fiercely divided over whether his actions are reflective of a fundamentally racist system or an anomaly.
On Monday, a reporter asked press secretary Kayleigh McEnany what President Trump believes.

"It is also an idea that gave a contrite white America (and the Western world) new and essentially repentant liberalism."
After a trip to Africa in 1970 to explore his roots, he said, he "learned that America, for all its faults and failings, was not intractably evil."

Nearly two-thirds of the protesters in Detroit came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barr said , `` In many places , it appears the violence is planned , organized & driven by anarchic left extremist groups – far left extremist groups using Antifa-like tactics . ''

One black woman angrily filmed a white Antifa member spraying Black Lives Matter on a business , telling her that was wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
She said they were trying to protest peacefully .
The AP took a lot of close-up photos of blacks protesting and rioting , making it appear that the rioting was primarily driven by blacks .

Democratic Minnesota Gov .
Tim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mexican drug cartels are behind the violent rioting .

One of the officers was black , although he was n't the main one holding Timpa down .
His killing was very similar to Floyd 's .
Charges against the officers were dropped , and they were merely placed on administrative leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And where 's the outrage over a police officer pinning a young black man by the neck backward onto the roof of a car ?
In the video , filmed on May 22 , a young woman standing nearby keeps repeating , `` He ca n't breathe . ''
Could it be because the officer was black ?
What I learned as a prosecutor is that most of the Antifa protesters engaged in violence are doing so because they have criminal records and are mad at the police for getting caught .

wnd--2020-06-01--Racial grievances are the lifeblood of the American left

Politicians all over the political spectrum are finally coming around to the commonsensical conclusion that , regardless of how unwarranted , scandalous and illegal police officers ' treatment of George Floyd may have been , there is no justification for the campaign of looting and organized violence that has been unleashed on America 's cities .
Violence is rarely the solution to violence , and crime is never the solution to crime .
We also should be candid about the fact that the mass protests , civil disobedience and even the acts of arson , assault , theft and murder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the product of careful cultivation by the American left and a complicit media .
For years , these charlatans have been selling to people of color a delusion of gargantuan proportions : first , the idea that America in the early 21st century is one of the most prejudiced and oppressive places that has ever existed ; and , second , the idea that it is progressively getting worse .
Neither notion is remotely true , but careful editing of news coverage , as well as indoctrination in the schools , higher education @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popular culture , has convinced racial minorities ( and many whites ) that racism is the defining feature of the American experience .
The recipe is simple : Ignore all prejudice and violence that emanates from people of color and from liberals , and trumpet all prejudice and violence that emanates , or can plausibly be claimed to emanate , from whites who have not knelt before the gods of progressivism .
Thus , every time a white American is rude to a black person , or displays bias , and the incident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , perforce , national news .
If that white person inflicts any type of violence on people of color , so much the better – such a storyline fits the agenda of the left and the media to a T. Bias and/or violence that flows from the wrong sources , however , the left and the media feel they have a solemn obligation to cover up , because even to acknowledge these phenomena would `` reinforce '' America 's `` original sin '' : white racism .
The result is predictable : People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from politicians , pastors , movie stars , pop singers , sports heroes , teachers and news anchors , that draw their attention to white racism and which explain virtually all dysfunction and misfortune in communities of color as the product of such racism , both on the individual level and in `` institutional '' forms .

Politicians all over the political spectrum are finally coming around to the commonsensical conclusion that, regardless of how unwarranted, scandalous and illegal police officers' treatment of George Floyd may have been, there is no justification for the campaign of looting and organized violence that has been unleashed on America's cities. Violence is rarely the solution to violence, and crime is never the solution to crime.
We also should be candid about the fact that the mass protests, civil disobedience and even the acts of arson, assault, theft and murder we are witnessing in cities nationwide is the product of careful cultivation by the American left and a complicit media.
For years, these charlatans have been selling to people of color a delusion of gargantuan proportions: first, the idea that America in the early 21st century is one of the most prejudiced and oppressive places that has ever existed; and, second, the idea that it is progressively getting worse.
Neither notion is remotely true, but careful editing of news coverage, as well as indoctrination in the schools, higher education and in virtually all facets of our popular culture, has convinced racial minorities (and many whites) that racism is the defining feature of the American experience.
Not freedom.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Not opportunity.
Racism.
The recipe is simple: Ignore all prejudice and violence that emanates from people of color and from liberals, and trumpet all prejudice and violence that emanates, or can plausibly be claimed to emanate, from whites who have not knelt before the gods of progressivism.
Thus, every time a white American is rude to a black person, or displays bias, and the incident is caught on tape, it is, perforce, national news. If that white person inflicts any type of violence on people of color, so much the better – such a storyline fits the agenda of the left and the media to a T. Bias and/or violence that flows from the wrong sources, however, the left and the media feel they have a solemn obligation to cover up, because even to acknowledge these phenomena would "reinforce" America's "original sin": white racism.
The result is predictable: People of color are bombarded with messages, from politicians, pastors, movie stars, pop singers, sports heroes, teachers and news anchors, that draw their attention to white racism and which explain virtually all dysfunction and misfortune in communities of color as the product of such racism, both on the individual level and in "institutional" forms.
Moreover, as we see in so many guises these days, the standard of evidence for proving the presence of racism has been steadily lowered. No longer does one need to demonstrate clear racist intent to be labeled a racist. A mere slip of the tongue or a failure to demonstrate sufficient enthusiasm for the causes beloved of self-declared "anti-racists" is more than enough to mark one as racist trash, destined for the dustbin of history.
Likewise, no longer does an organization or institution have to intend to discriminate against any group to be accused of racism – merely failing to produce the "equality of results" leftists desire will suffice to prove that "implicit bias" must color the policies and leadership of the relevant party.
Put simply, racism is the default explanation for everything of which the modern liberal disapproves. The burden is on each and every white American to prove that he or she is not racist, and only complete submission to the agenda of the left can accomplish this (provisionally, that is, or rather until the left decides to make one of its own a sacrificial lamb to social justice, which it often does).
The upshot of this sad state of affairs is that the Democratic Party, which is the political embodiment of the American left – even though most leftists hold the moribund Dems in contempt – has embraced with aplomb the strategy of race-baiting its way to victory. The use of racially based dog whistles is now de rigueur among Democrats, and the thought that ordinary Americans, much less people as odious as Republicans, are entitled to the benefit of the doubt has long since been dismissed as fanciful and naive.
And now, in our smoldering streets, in the wreckage of countless stores, in emergency rooms where the victims of mob violence are being patched up and in the dingy morgues where the fatalities from street brawls are accumulating, we see the left's philosophy of racial grievance taken to its ultimate conclusion.
Liberals cultivated fear, anger and despair, because they expected to profit from them. They did profit from them, in fact, but America as a whole has paid, is paying and will continue to pay a steep price for the leftists' gravely irresponsible and short-sighted conduct.
And the saddest part is this: We were so close to healing many of the racial divides that now threaten to swallow us whole.

Lemon, who over the weekend demanded to hear from Trump after previously insisting that "nobody wants to hear" from him, indicated that he did not like what the president had to say.

But the rise of secularism and `` the sexual revolution 's repudiation of Christian sexual ethics '' have left many Christians uninformed or confused .

The answer would seem to be 'no . '
''

It's no secret that the evangelical Christian community in America played a significant role in President Trump's victory in 2016.
Now, a new report from the Family Research Council and its affiliates explains the reasons why so many support the Republican Party.
"Neither political party is a Christian party in the sense that every policy position they advocate for lines up perfectly with the Bible. In fact, there are numerous policy issues on which the Bible does not speak," the report says.
"However, it is also true in recent years that the two major political parties have adopted clear positions on moral issues on which the Bible does speak.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
"For example, on the issues of abortion and human sexuality, the parties are now on opposite ends of the spectrum. For Christians who privilege the authority of Scripture over that of any political party, it is tragic that any candidate for public office would hold (and in some cases even champion) positions on issues that disregard and flaunt God's unchanging moral law."
The report says it's "important to recognize that the Republican party has generally embraced policy positions on abortion and human sexuality that are consistent with Scripture, while the Democratic party has embraced positions on these issues that are at odds with Scripture."
Abortion is one example.
"Consider the topic of unborn life. On this issue, not only is the Bible's teaching clear, the application for public policy is also clear. For example, the Bible teaches that every human being is a unique image-bearer of God and possesses inherent dignity. Thus, human life is supremely valuable, and there is a duty to preserve life.
"From the perspective of the Bible, it is right and just to support laws and policies that preserve life. The Bible's moral appraisal of abortion and its implications for public policy are obvious: killing unborn children is morally wrong and ought to be opposed. Mapped out onto the political realities of a two-party system, the outworking of this moral calculus is clear."
The contrast on that issue has been particularly stark, the report says, with Democrats moving further from their position in the 1990s that it be "safe, legal and rare."
Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia even has advocated infanticide in the case of a baby who survives and abortion.
Republicans, in contrast, proposed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, requiring doctors to help such an infant.
The FRC report by David Closson, "Biblical principles for political engagement: Worldview, issues, and voting," points out that back in 1947 theologian Carl Henry was encouraging Christians to apply their faith to "pressing world problems," and engage in the public square and participate in politics.
But the rise of secularism and "the sexual revolution's repudiation of Christian sexual ethics" have left many Christians uninformed or confused.
The Scripture, the report explains, says much about civic responsibility.
"Because voting is a matter of stewardship, Christians living in a democratic republic should seek to vote in a way that honors God and advances the wellbeing of their neighbor," the report says.
FRC said the report aims to help pastors and Christians navigate the "stormy political landscape in an election year."
Hundreds of thousands of copies are being distributed.
Closson explains: "As Christians, we believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ has implications for all areas of life, including politics. Because we care about our neighbors and desire to steward our God-given responsibilities, we must, as Christians engage in the political process. But we must engage biblically.
"This requires that we be prepared to grapple with the moral issues of our day, the reality of our two-party system, and follow our Christian convictions to their logical end by voting for candidates and parties that support clear biblical values. This publication exists to facilitate careful thinking about these issues and encourage God-honoring, faithful political engagement that filters all issues, candidates, and party platforms through a biblical worldview."
His report warns that Christians "should never equate the church's mission with the platform of a political party."
But voting is, in fact, "an exercise in delegating God-ordained authority."
"By voting, Christians are entrusting their 'sward-bearing' responsibility to officials who will govern on their behalf. Seen from this perspective, voting is a matter of stewardship failure to vote is a failure to exercise God-given authority," the report says.
"If theologically conservative Christians appear increasingly aligned with one party, it is because the other party has taken positions on moral issues that oppose the Bible's explicit teachings," the report finds. "Thus, while it is true that Christians should not feel perfectly at 'home' in either political party, is it fair to suggest that they should feel equally comfortable in both? The answer would seem to be 'no.'"
