Democrat Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkin on How Long the Communist Takeover of Capitol Could Last: ‘Maybe We Could Have the Summer of Love’ [VIDEO]

Our apologies for another post about CHAZ , or Seattle ’ s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone , but we ’ ve been hearing from the mainstream media all day that it ’ s just a “ festive ” expression of free speech — never mind how the protesters inside the six-block radius managed to secure it as their own and declare it independent from the United States .
Oh yeah , it was nights of violent clashes with police ending with the police abandoning their precinct under threat of it being burned down .
In any case , Mayor Jenny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — in an insane thread , she again described it as simply First Amendment expression by the marginalized … and now she ’ s telling CNN ’ s Chris Cuomo that they could end up having a whole “ summer of love ” there .
Doesn ’ t sound like Seattle plans on taking back those blocks anytime soon , if only to spite President Trump .

thelibertydaily--2020-06-12--Mob Rule: ‘Teenagers Of Color’ To Decide Whether To Prosecute Police Officers in Alexandria, Virgini

Mob Rule: ‘Teenagers Of Color’ To Decide Whether To Prosecute Police Officers in Alexandria, Virginia

Alexandria , Virginia , is beautiful , historic , and quaint .
It is also diverse and employs a reflective police force .
Alexandria Police officers expressed disgust at the treatment of George Floyd when the video was initially released , the Chief issued a statement in support of Floyd 's family , and a diverse group of officers even knelt with protestors -- but that was n't enough .
The liberals in charge of the city decided that their police department still needed a `` Community Police Review Board . ''
For reference , the City of Alexandria is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policing '' narrative .
In fact , they were praised just days ago by Democrats for their reserved approach to a Black active shooter , who Alexandria officers were able to tactfully arrest without returning fire .
Delegate Mark Levine described the scene in a public Facebook post ( which he has since deleted , but not to worry , we have a screenshot ) : `` [ A ] mentally disturbed woman shot at police , at her neighbors , through the walls of her apartment , and out the window .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They did NOT shoot back . ''
Levine described Alexandria Police actions as `` a perfect example '' of `` quality , competent , professional policing . ''
He declared that he was `` proud to live in a city so well served by police . ''
Other local Democrats shared the post .
It 's now gone .
Maybe because it argues against the need for a `` Community Police Review Board . ''
Alexandria 's atrociously leftist City Council signed a mind-bogglingly racist BLM poster as their resolution to enact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' The purpose of this review board is for citizens to have independent authority to review and investigate police misconduct ; to make prosecution decisions .
Mind you , Virginia already has prosecutors and grand juries to decide on such matters , and Alexandria already utilizes a Human Rights Commission .
None of these proclamations have anything to do with the local police department , and Alexandria 's City Council is merely taking advantage of the political momentum to push propaganda into policy .
But who they want on the review board is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want teenagers !
High school kids !
I wish I were joking .
Mohamed Seifeldein , the council member who drafted the ridiculous resolution , stated that the Community Police Review Board would be so diverse that it `` will include teenagers of color . ''
Because nothing says fair like having teenagers make prosecution decisions .
To better understand his motives , consider that Seifeldein was seen with a female companion at an Alexandria BLM protest on June 4 , according to a trusted source , where she repeatedly shouted : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by her side and laughed .
Most disturbingly , Mohamed Seifeldein did not just state that he wanted `` teenagers of color '' on the use of force review board .
He initially stated , `` teenagers who are constantly dealing with bullies , '' then corrected himself , saying `` teenagers of color , that is . ''
Seifeldein appears to only welcome teenagers of color at the exclusion of White teenagers , engaging in the exact racist and discriminatory practice that he claims to oppose .
No one on this sham @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Instead , City Council voted unanimously in favor of the resolution after hearing Seifeldein announce that bullied teenagers would be on the review board .
For reference , conduct review boards are typically comprised of individuals within the profession .
Doctors sit on medical review boards , lawyers sit on legal review boards , and so on .
Police conduct review boards should be constituted of law enforcement officers if they were to be instituted , not of bullied teenagers .
It was also troubling that City Council secretly voted on this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' backs , without their input .
No officers and no members of the public were notified in advance , nor was the public welcomed to make comments .
The proposition to create a Community Police Review Board was announced on the day of the vote .
City Council members appeared to have justified this by claiming it is what the vociferous public wanted , though they were referencing the BLM protests as a whole , without specifically asking City of Alexandria residents what was in their best interest .
Alexandria Police Officer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Union of Police Associations , Chapter 5 , advised that Alexandria Police officers were shocked to learn that their conduct will be reviewed by a board of civilians , one with local teenagers on it .
`` I don ’ t think it ’ s appropriate for any teenager to be a part of a review board .
Decisions need to be made on facts and not emotion , '' he reasoned .
Ofc .
Rodriguez explained that officers were not asked for their input , that City Council members had not visited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ determination whether this review board was necessary for their department .
He explained that the decision was made quickly and quietly without giving the officers an opportunity to respond .
He challenged City Council to answer whether they acted surreptitiously solely in the interest of politics : `` Were there conversations with the Commonwealth Attorney 's Office , who review and prosecute criminal offenses ?
Or the Office of External Affairs and Professional Responsibility , the section that investigates police misconduct ?
Any research conducted to review how the new board would work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entity independent from the Police Department , would investigate similar matters ?
Or is this just a knee-jerk reaction to a horrific incident that occurred 1000+ miles away ? ''
This City Council resolution comes on the heels of Alexandria 's brain-washed Mayor reciting BLM and 1619 Project propaganda after George Floyd 's death , telling a reporter : `` We are called upon to uproot a culture of white supremacy woven into our founding as a nation , perpetuated through law and custom for generations , and present today in even the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including Alexandria .
That is a culture of white supremacy that devalues black lives and ignores the impact of hundreds of years of history on the present . ''
Again , Alexandria 's governing body is very diverse , as is the police department .
But reality is n't relevant to the left .
As conservatives , we weep for the neoliberal reaping of our police officers .
Most officer prosecutions are race-baiting witch hunts .

The liberals in charge of the city decided that their police department still needed a "Community Police Review Board."
For reference, the City of Alexandria is not otherwise entangled in the "racist policing" narrative. In fact, they were praised just days ago by Democrats for their reserved approach to a Black active shooter, who Alexandria officers were able to tactfully arrest without returning fire. Delegate Mark Levine described the scene in a public Facebook post: "[A] mentally disturbed woman shot at police, at her neighbors, through the walls of her apartment, and out the window. The Alexandria Police Department showed tremendous restraint. They did NOT shoot back." Levine described Alexandria Police actions as "a perfect example" of "quality, competent, professional policing." He declared that he was "proud to live in a city so well served by police." Other local Democrats shared the post. The local police department appeared to have political support. That is until City Council decided none of that was enough.
Alexandria's atrociously leftist City Council signed a mind-bogglingly racist BLM poster as their resolution to enact the "Community Police Review Board." The purpose of this review board is for citizens to have independent authority to review and investigate police misconduct; to make prosecution decisions. Mind you, Virginia already has prosecutors and grand juries to decide on such matters, and Alexandria already utilizes a Human Rights Commission.
Politically polarizing proclamations include: "use of force by law enforcement to suppress the protestors' right to assemble peaceably" - a leftist distortion that purposefully conflates the use of force to disband criminals and looters with regular protestors
"the recurrence of acts of violence and oppression committed by those sworn to serve and protect is the result of systemic racism" - a leftist race-baiting tactic that accuses any White officer of racism when using excessive force on a Black suspect, deduced simply by looking of their skin colors -- which, ironically, is in itself blatant racism
"racial disparities in health and economic wellbeing" - a leftist deception that blames health and economic conditions in minority communities on "racism" (and which is also entirely irrelevant to a police conduct review resolution, but is added as yet another leftist emotional ploy)
"gathering data on the demographics of police encounters with the public is an imperative" - a leftist myth that claims police deliberately hunt for Black people and that data reporting how often police interact with Black folks proves this point (ironically, leftists also claim that such data is racist when it is used against their interests)
None of these proclamations have anything to do with the local police department, and Alexandria's City Council is merely taking advantage of the political momentum to push propaganda into policy.
But who they want on the review board is even more egregious: teenagers, they want teenagers! High school kids! I wish I were joking. Mohamed Seifeldein, the council member who drafted the ridiculous resolution, stated that the Community Police Review Board would be so diverse that it "will include teenagers of color." Because nothing says fair like having teenagers make prosecution decisions.
To better understand his motives, consider that Seifeldein was seen with a female companion at an Alexandria BLM protest on June 4, according to a trusted source, where she repeatedly shouted: "DEFUND THE POLICE!" Seifeldein stood by her side and laughed.
Most disturbingly, Mohamed Seifeldein did not just state that he wanted "teenagers of color" on the use of force review board. He initially stated, "teenagers who are constantly dealing with bullies," then corrected himself, saying "teenagers of color, that is." Seifeldein appears to only welcome teenagers of color at the exclusion of White teenagers, engaging in the exact racist and discriminatory practice that he claims to oppose. No one on this sham City Council called him out on it. Instead, City Council voted unanimously in favor of the resolution after hearing Seifeldein announce that bullied teenagers would be on the review board.
It was also troubling that City Council secretly voted on this citizen review board behind the police officers' backs, without their input. No officers and no members of the public were notified in advance, nor was the public welcomed to make comments. The proposition to create a Community Police Review Board was announced on the day of the vote. City Council members appeared to have justified this by claiming it is what the vociferous public wanted, though they were referencing the BLM protests as a whole, without specifically asking City of Alexandria residents what was in their best interest.
Alexandria Police Officer Michael Rodriguez, President of the International Union of Police Associations, Chapter 5, advised that Alexandria Police officers were shocked to learn that their conduct will be reviewed by a board of civilians, one with local teenagers on it. "I don’t think it’s appropriate for any teenager to be a part of a review board. Decisions need to be made on facts and not emotion," he reasoned. Ofc.

He explained that the decision was made quickly and quietly without giving the officers an opportunity to respond. He challenged City Council to answer whether they acted surreptitiously solely in the interest of politics: "Were there conversations with the Commonwealth Attorney's Office, who review and prosecute criminal offenses?

That is a culture of white supremacy that devalues black lives and ignores the impact of hundreds of years of history on the present." Again, Alexandria's governing body is very diverse, as is the police department. But reality isn't relevant to the left.
As conservatives, we weep for the neoliberal reaping of our police officers. Most officer prosecutions are race-baiting witch hunts. If you wish to support the City of Alexandria police officers, you can donate to their foundation.

Free Citizens Do Not Kneel

White progressive racial masochism is nothing new .

I notice though, that there’s one phrase they keep repeating – can you find it?
It is outrageous that Trump, in the middle of a pandemic, is working to prevent LGBTQ+ Americans from getting health care they need. Discrimination of any kind has no place in our society. We must defeat Trump, guarantee health care as a right and protect all LGBTQ+ Americans. https://t.co/aNhYc2R4M5 — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) June 12, 2020
Today is the 4th anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. It’s Pride. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. And the Trump Administration just erased rules to protect LGBTQ Americans from discrimination. Once again the callousness, cruelty and division are by design. https://t.co/VaYgweS2dE — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) June 12, 2020
In the middle of Pride month. On the anniversary of the Pulse Shooting. In the middle of a pandemic. Trump announced the repeal of protections for LGBTQ patients. This decision is immoral and dangerous. Its timing is conspicuous in its cruelty. Shame. On. Him. https://t.co/K5DucPFy0r — Rep. Nadler (@RepJerryNadler) June 12, 2020
IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC!!
I’m sure they all got together to orchestrate their messaging on this one, but it doesn’t sound too intelligent to me. The country is opening up all around us – part of that is people are just sick of being told to stay in. Do you think those people will be receptive to this messaging that Trump can’t protect people against the transgender agenda because there’s a pandemic around? Huh? Makes zero sense….
Here’s a few others:
The callousness of Trump to announce this during LGBTQ+ Pride month as the country mourns the four year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting. The cruelty is the point and it knows no bounds. We will fight this. https://t.co/oi8XpPAbXb — Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) June 12, 2020
Really reaching here.
In the middle of a public health crisis, Trump sanctioned discrimination against LGBTQ people in health care programs and health insurance… …On the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre, no less. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) June 12, 2020
Poor little guy didn’t quite get the messaging right….


thelibertydaily--2020-06-12--“CHAZ” Timeline Shows Propaganda Victories Like ‘Recycling Collection Begins,’ Neglects to Mention W

“CHAZ” Timeline Shows Propaganda Victories Like ‘Recycling Collection Begins,’ Neglects to Mention Warlord Raz

The mayor now claims CHAZ has always existed , and they are working to make their twin communities ...

Last Updated on February 17, 2022
As CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, continues to develop on the international stage, a timeline has been established tracking the major events of CHAZ, though it neglects to include important historical landmarks catalogued by National File.
According to CHAZ.zone, the website is “a hub for information and resources about the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), established the evening of June 8, 2020 in the midst of the George Floyd protests in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The site claims that it “aims to track its history and ongoing developments.”
Such “history and ongoing developments” include natural landmarks of civilized society, including “Screening of Ava DuVernay’s documentary ’13th,'” which happened on June 9 at 10:30 p.m., “recycling collection begins” on June 10, and “Christian proselytizers cause disruption in 11th/Pine plaza” occurring at 6:20 p.m. on June 11.
However, the timeline seems to paint a rosy picture of CHAZ, as it neglects to mention the nation’s struggle to form coherent law enforcement after ejecting the Seattle police department.
On June 9, a rapper-turned-warlord known as Raz Simone established a private police force in CHAZ, declaring as much in a video that shows Simone beating a man for spraying over someone else’s graffiti and then taking the man’s cell phone as tribute.
On June 11, the Seattle police chief confirmed the existence of reports of extortion and a protection racket within CHAZ, suggesting Simone’s enforcers are being paid for their security services.
Then, on June 12, National File reported that police say 911 calls reporting sexual and violent crimes within CHAZ’s borders have tripled, though police are naturally unable to enter the autonomous zone to respond to these calls.
The timeline also neglects to catalog the alleged theft of CHAZ’s food supply at the hands of homeless people they invited to join their autonomous zone, nor does it note that the autonomous zone’s first leader apparently stepped down after admitting to being a “serial abuser.”
However, the timeline make mention of the founding of CHAZ’s community garden, featuring a small amount of topsoil sprinkled over cardboard and a variety of lettuce, tomato, and marigold plants to see to the nutritional needs of the autonomous zone’s citizens.


thelibertydaily--2020-06-12--Tucker Carlson: ‘Countries Have Borders, and the Founders of “CHAZ” Understood That’

Last Updated on February 17, 2022
Discussing the newly founded Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in what was formerly downtown Seattle, Fox News host Tucker Carlson explained that the first thing the former anarchists did upon founding their new nation was immediately develop strong walls around its borders, followed by armed border guards.
“The first thing it did was establish rigid national borders,” said Carlson. “They built a wall around the place, just like Donald Trump once said he would do. Their wall is made from wooden barricades.”
Carlson continued, “A sign at the entrance to the country warns, ‘You are now leaving the USA.’ And then there are armed border guards, not technically ICE agents but close enough, who question everyone seeking entry. Countries have borders, and the founders of CHAZ understood that. They don’t want the place flooded with illegals, and by illegals we mean the citizens of Seattle.”
The Tucker Carlson Tonight host went on to explain how the leaders of CHAZ have embraced realistic policy positions to protect the safety and economic well being of its citizens.
“You can’t let just anyone into your country. An uncontrolled flood of immigrants would tank the economy, and the people of CHAZ know that,” said Carlson. “They’re not libertarians, they don’t work for the Chamber of Commerce, they’re not giving you some speech about how immigration makes you richer, they’re realists: They want to make this work for the safety of their people.”
Carlson went on to explain that the newly founded nation, lacking a skilled workforce or national resources, have now taken to “extortion through violence,” said Carlson. “Just like the Conquistadors.”
National File covered the reports that an armed police force is extorting the local population in CHAZ. A man named Raz Simone, who has been called a warlord online, currently provides a sort of police force in the area, and was seen on video beating another man for tagging over graffiti that was already owned.
The next day, the Seattle police chief confirmed that reports of extortion exist in a video message sent to officers, and subsequently to the public after it was leaked.

Larry C. Johnson: Does Black Judge Emmet Sullivan Believe Every Black Man Falsely Accused of Murder Should Be Charged with Perjury?

Good .
If I am reading the amicus brief filed by discredited former Federal Judge John Gleeson on behalf of Judge Emett Sullivan , Gleeson and Sullivan are incensed that Michael Flynn had the audacity to withdraw his guilty plea , which Flynn insists was coerced .
Gleeson argues that Flynn ( and I presume others who have done the same thing ) must be charged with perjury for having the audacity to go into court and recant his plea .
You do not need a keen sense of irony to appreciate the hypocrisy of Judge Emmet Sullivan , an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ book at Flynn for doing what many black men falsely accuse of crimes have done .
If the Emmet Sullivan and John Gleeson standard becomes the rule–i.e.
, once you confess to a crime in court under oath you can not take back your confession–then there are a bunch of innocent black men we need to round up and put back in the pokey .
Let me introduce you to two black men from Chicago–Kevin Bailey and Corey Batchelor .
They were physically coerced by an Area 2 Chicago Police detective into falsely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ murder of Lula Mae Woods–Bailey subsequently served 28 years for the crime while Batchelor was imprisoned for 15 years .
According to the Innocence Project : Bailey and Batchelor eventually sought post-conviction relief , with the Innocence Project and the People ’ s Law Office representing Bailey and The Exoneration Project and The Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth representing Batchelor .
Despite early opposition by the prior Cook County State ’ s Attorney , attorneys secured DNA testing of the crime scene evidence .
Bailey and Batchelor were excluded as the source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hairs with matching DNA profiles were recovered from ( 1 ) the Domino ’ s Pizza cap worn by the murderer and ( 2 ) a bloody towel found near the body .
Bailey and Batchelor have been excluded as the source of these hairs .
The identity of the person who shed his hair on these key items is still unknown .
“ This is yet one more example of detectives from the Chicago Police Department closing murder cases too quickly by coercing false confessions from black teenagers , ” said Steven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attorneys from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law ’ s Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth .
“ This further cements Chicago ’ s reputation as the ‘ false confession capital ’ .
” Over 120 Black men and women were subjected to torture that was racially motivated and included electric shock , mock executions , suffocation and beatings by now convicted former Police Commander Jon Burge and his subordinates .
Although Burge was terminated from the Chicago Police Department in 1993 and convicted for perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from the torture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scores of individuals continue to languish in prison as a result of confessions based in whole or in part on physically coerced confessions .

On Thursday night , Sen. Tom Cotton ( R-Ark . )
eviscerated the terrifying “ cancel culture ” that seeks to silence anyone who dares disagree with leftist dogma .
Cancel culture animates the vandalism against statues — including those of black volunteer troops for the Union fighting against slavery — along with the abortion of television shows and the firing of people .
Cotton briefly listed many of the recent victims of cancel culture in the wake of the George Floyd riots : a UCLA professor facing police investigation because he declined to postpone final exams to let students @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reading from Martin Luther King , Jr. ’ s Letter from a Birmingham Jail , a professional soccer player who was fired for his wife ’ s tweet , and “ business executives and editors at newspapers and magazines.

Lastly , the senator mentioned Ivanka Trump , whose commencement speech at Wichita State University got canceled .
“ What is the logical conclusion ?
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
I will tell you what it is .
It is right here in this city , Washington , the District of Columbia .
That ’ s where it will end if we don ’ t put an end to the madness now , ” Cotton warned .
“ Just up the Mall is the Washington Monument .
Are we gon na tear the Washington Monument down ?

” the senator asked .
“ Up the Hill is the Washington National Cathedral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a nation over the years to mourn our great leaders , to pray for God ’ s protection and deliverance in moments of national strife and struggle , ” Cotton continued .

” “ And what are we going to call this city ?
Can ’ t call it Washington .
Can ’ t call it Columbia , ” he said , rejecting “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Christopher Columbus ’ s name .
“ Got ta come up with new names , all around.
” “ I will say this , the cancel culture , whether in its Maoist or its Jacobin forms , ultimately is animated by a single idea , that America , at its core , is fundamentally irredeemable and wicked , ” Cotton concluded .
“ I reject that claim fully , wholeheartedly .

[ Those are ] the stakes of this debate.
” Cotton is correct .
The cancel culture — like its more virulent form in the Southern Poverty Law Center ’ s “ hate group ” defamation — is about control over the mind , quashing intellectual dissent from The Narrative .
That Narrative is that America is fundamentally oppressive — racist , sexist , homophobic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of bigoted for which words do not yet exist — because evil domineering white men invented it .
The Violence Against This Civil War Monument Captures Just How Badly the George Floyd Riots Have Gone Wrong Nevermind that those white men made universal human equality the central truth on which the nation stood , so much so that the logic of that freedom and equality forced the abolition of slavery and women ’ s suffrage .

thelibertydaily--2020-06-13--Portland Really, Really Wants You to Know the Democrat Mayor Is Not Interested in Protecting City Ha

Portland Really, Really Wants You to Know the Democrat Mayor Is Not Interested in Protecting City Hall

On Thursday , PJ Media reported on the decision to erect a plywood wall around City Hall in the city of Portland , Oregon .
Other outlets , including this one , couldn ’ t help but notice the hypocrisy of this notoriously liberal city and its mayor , Ted Wheeler , a strong opponent of border walls , which , in his view are racist .
Soon after the story was published , PJ Media was contacted by Heather Hafer , the public information officer for the city of Portland ’ s Office of Management and Finance , requesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m writing to confirm that Mayor Ted Wheeler was not aware that a wall was being erected around City Hall .
This decision was made by the Office of Management and Finance ’ s Division of Asset Management .
This decision was made to protect a City asset , the historic City Hall building , which had recently undergone a multimillion dollar renovation .
As soon as both the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer , Tom Rinehart , found out about the wall they immediately directed staff to remove it .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ putting up the wall was a mistake and it was not the message we want to send to our community members .
However , the Portland Tribune noted on Wednesday that the mayor ’ s office was involved in discussions on how to protect the historic building after fencing failed to protect it from vandalism .
This appears to contradict Hafer ’ s claim that Wheeler wasn ’ t aware of the decision because his office was clearly directly involved in those discussions .
Hafer ’ s claim that Wheeler immediately directed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contradict a previous statement attribute to Wheeler ’ s office that was made to the Portland Tribune : “ Cleaning the buildings each day is taking public resources , particularly due to the limestone surface at City Hall .
We are looking into the possibility of partnering with the arts community to create murals on the plywood in support of the racial justice movement.
” This statement suggested that the mayor ’ s office was aware of the plywood wall , and had actually discussed turning them into murals as some sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explained this contradiction by noting that the quote was not from Wheeler himself , but from Tom Rinehart , the chief administrative officer of the Office of Management and Finance .
“ The Office of Management and Finance is responsible for facility management and maintenance , we are the ones who made the decision to erect the wall – and we are the ones who decided to take it down , a decision which Mayor Wheeler fully supported.
” But Hafer ’ s clarification contradicted her original statement to PJ Media when she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer , Tom Rinehart , found out about the wall they immediately directed staff to remove it.
” [ Emphasis added ] Hafer later explained that “ Both the Chief Administrative Officer , Tom Rinehart , and the Mayor independently wanted the wall removed .
Tom Rinehart is the one who directed his staff to remove it.
” Hafer than denied being able to speak for Mayor Wheeler .
“ I can not speak on the Mayor ’ s behalf .
I ’ m the spokesperson for the Office @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am unable to answer any of your additional questions.
” Further requests for comment were not answered .
It ’ s still unclear as to what Mayor Wheeler knew about the wall and when he knew it , but one thing is for sure , the city of Portland wholeheartedly believes the erecting of the wall was a mistake .
Why ?

On Thursday, PJ Media reported on the decision to erect a plywood wall around City Hall in the city of Portland, Oregon. Other outlets, including this one, couldn’t help but notice the hypocrisy of this notoriously liberal city and its mayor, Ted Wheeler, a strong opponent of border walls, which, in his view are racist.
Soon after the story was published, PJ Media was contacted by Heather Hafer, the public information officer for the city of Portland’s Office of Management and Finance, requesting a retraction of the article.
I’m writing to confirm that Mayor Ted Wheeler was not aware that a wall was being erected around City Hall. This decision was made by the Office of Management and Finance’s Division of Asset Management. This decision was made to protect a City asset, the historic City Hall building, which had recently undergone a multimillion dollar renovation. As soon as both the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer, Tom Rinehart, found out about the wall they immediately directed staff to remove it. I would like to reiterate that we know putting up the wall was a mistake and it was not the message we want to send to our community members.
However, the Portland Tribune noted on Wednesday that the mayor’s office was involved in discussions on how to protect the historic building after fencing failed to protect it from vandalism. This appears to contradict Hafer’s claim that Wheeler wasn’t aware of the decision because his office was clearly directly involved in those discussions.
Hafer’s claim that Wheeler immediately directed the plywood wall to be removed appeared to contradict a previous statement attribute to Wheeler’s office that was made to the Portland Tribune: “Cleaning the buildings each day is taking public resources, particularly due to the limestone surface at City Hall. We are looking into the possibility of partnering with the arts community to create murals on the plywood in support of the racial justice movement.”
This statement suggested that the mayor’s office was aware of the plywood wall, and had actually discussed turning them into murals as some sort of solution to appease the protesters.
Hafer explained this contradiction by noting that the quote was not from Wheeler himself, but from Tom Rinehart, the chief administrative officer of the Office of Management and Finance. “The Office of Management and Finance is responsible for facility management and maintenance, we are the ones who made the decision to erect the wall – and we are the ones who decided to take it down, a decision which Mayor Wheeler fully supported.”
But Hafer’s clarification contradicted her original statement to PJ Media when she said “As soon as both the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer, Tom Rinehart, found out about the wall they immediately directed staff to remove it.” [Emphasis added]
Hafer later explained that “Both the Chief Administrative Officer, Tom Rinehart, and the Mayor independently wanted the wall removed. Tom Rinehart is the one who directed his staff to remove it.”
Hafer than denied being able to speak for Mayor Wheeler. “I cannot speak on the Mayor’s behalf. I’m the spokesperson for the Office of Management and Finance, so I am unable to answer any of your additional questions.”
Further requests for comment were not answered.
It’s still unclear as to what Mayor Wheeler knew about the wall and when he knew it, but one thing is for sure, the city of Portland wholeheartedly believes the erecting of the wall was a mistake. Why? Is protecting a historic building wrong? What kind of message does it send to allow vandals to deface a historic building? Isn’t this a slap in the face to taxpayers who are on the hook for the clean-up? These are the kinds of questions I was not able to get answers to once Hafer decided she doesn’t speak on behalf of the mayor.
The mixed messages in and of themselves were very revealing. In cities across America, leaders seem unwilling to control the riots or protect public property from damage. Mayor Wheeler clearly doesn’t want people thinking he condoned or even knew about the plywood wall that stood for a mere 12 hours before someone realized, “Oh, yeah, walls are racist!”

thelibertydaily--2020-06-13--Truth: Democrats Feed Racism to Control Black People

For the past few months , we have witnessed the raw and unmasked Democrat Party , live and in living color .
Their constituents are rioting , looting , and murdering because they have finally realized that there are only three areas where the government is supremely prolific and highly efficient : theft , incarceration , and killing .
Outside this “ Iron Triangle ” government fails horribly at education , protection , health care , economic development , border security , drug enforcement and infrastructure .
Yet after months of economic collapse , pandemic hysteria and racial anarchy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Black America was revealed , black leadership still chooses the government as its vehicle to solve these indignities .
Why ?
Because this is what the Democrats desire .
Except for a brief time during Reconstruction , there has never been a time since its inception in 1800 that the Democrats have not had absolute control over most of the black population in America .
They have used race in one way or another to maintain power ever since .
The fact that one-hundred fifty years since the 13th , 14th and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the 1964 Civil Rights Act , blacks are still rioting over racism and still begging government to eradicate it , should tell us something : The Democrat Party uses racism to subdue and control black Americans , not eradicate racism to institute justice .
Ending racism would end the Democrats ’ stranglehold on Black America .
The proof of this charge is evidenced in a June 4 , 2020 , Washington Post story , in which a devastating critique highlights the Democrat Party ’ s dismal failure , in its fake effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black and white Americans .
Heather Long and Andrew Van Dam write , “ In many ways , the gap between the finances of black and whites is still as wide as it was in 1968.
” The story illustrates the fact that in 1968 the average black household had $ 6,674 in wealth compared to $ 70,786 for a white household .
In 2016 the typical black household had $ 13,024 in wealth vs $ 149,703 for a white household .
According to economist Moritz Kuhn , “ No progress has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ white households over the past 70 years.
” But all black Democrats are running for reelection and Joe Biden is “ proud of his record in the black community.
” I submit to you , that this is not a mistake .
It ’ s the Democrats ’ plan .
To keep black Americans on the Democrat plantation and cement their victimization , the study quoted the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity , saying , “ There are no actions that Black Americans can take unilaterally that will have much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gap.
” But that ’ s not true .
According to the Brookings Institution if people do these three things , they have a 98 percent chance to stay out of poverty : Get a high school diploma , work full time , and wait until age 21 and get married before having a baby .
The Democrats know this .
So they have intentionally destroyed the educational system in the inner cities , introduced sex to our children at an early age , and set up and maintained a welfare state that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats have forbidden the black community even the foundational elements of survival by violating their inalienable right to self-defense and religious expression .
They have told them they are victims , oppressed and discriminated against .
Every black man murdered by a white man and highlighted by the press had one thing in common : They were all unarmed .
Considering the extraordinary amount of crime in the inner-city communities along with the constant complaints of police brutality , this is an interesting phenomenon .
Nevertheless , Democrat politicians continually vote to disarm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black Democrats vote to be disarmed .
In his book The Prince , political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli stated , “ For among other ills which ensue from being disarmed is ‘ contempt , ’ a disgrace a Prince must guard against…There can be no proper relation between one who is armed and one who is not.
” The evidence supports the fact that Democrats hold black people down and in utter contempt .
For free people to voluntarily disarm themselves is the height of insanity .
To secure 90 % of the black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black community is not being served , it is being occupied .
This occupation is necessary for the cultural genocide that is taking place there .
And like a patient , after spending all of their money and discovering that their physician is a quack and a con-man , blacks are asking hard questions .
And some are rioting .
The Democrats said , “ If you give us your children we will educate them ” ; they lied .
They said , “ If you get rid of your men , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lied .
They said , “ If you give us your guns we will protect you ” ; they lied .
Instead , the schools are terrible .
Poverty is endemic and crime is rampant .
Like all con-men , instead of taking responsibility for their actions once discovered , they deflect and with the help of their “ Iron Triangle ” cohorts , blame Republican boogie men who have no control or presence in the black community .
Democrats then continue their assault undeterred .
Peripeteia is defined as the moment in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he believed is wrong .
I reached my peripeteia moment about black leadership when I walked into a maximum-security prison as a young officer and witnessed thousands of young black men , my age , caged like animals .
I reached my peripeteia moment with the Democrat Party when I learned that they supported the federally-funded unlimited murder of black babies on an industrial scale .
Regarding the Democrat Party ’ s true intentions , I hope the killing of George Floyd will provide a peripeteia moment not just for Black America but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reserved for itself and its constituents have erroneously granted it , powers reserved only for God .
The condition of Black America provides irrefutable evidence that the Democrat Party can not provide freedom , dignity , provision or protection for its constituents .
It chooses not to .
Our Declaration of Independence and philosopher John Locke correctly say these will either come from God , yourself , or not at all .
Racism in America is no longer a government problem .
There is no governmental statute in America that condones racism .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ against racism , yet it still exists .
Government can not stop racism .
It can only punish racist actions after they have been committed .
Therefore , exposed individuals will always be subjected to racist acts , unless they inoculate themselves against the disease .
How does one inoculate oneself against racism ?
Simple : Whatever your faith , practice it .
Become so prolific at your profession that you are desired for your skill alone .
And be able to defend yourself against anyone who attempts to violate or infringe upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Democrat Party ’ s push for more laws is a fool ’ s errand .
It is a ploy to convince the uninitiated to give them more God-like power , not to eradicate racism but to control the black community with it .
I wish racism could be eradicated from the hearts of everyone .
But if it went away , Democrats will reinvent it .
Democrats need racism or the illusion of racism to keep blacks afraid and under control .
We must come to understand , racism is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the halls of government but in our places of worship , homes , communities , and hearts .
Government will then have no choice but to follow .
But until it is eradicated , treat racism like you would treat the weather or disease .
We do not depend on them to provide forbearance or respite .
We build houses , wear clothes , take medicines , and provide inoculations .
Therefore , build this structure against racism : Exercise your freedoms unapologetically .
Defend yourself !
Look to God , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Be prolific in your vocation .
And choose to be happy .

Who Speaks for the Riots ’ Victims ?

For the past few months, we have witnessed the raw and unmasked Democrat Party, live and in living color. Their constituents are rioting, looting, and murdering because they have finally realized that there are only three areas where the government is supremely prolific and highly efficient: theft, incarceration, and killing.
Outside this “Iron Triangle” government fails horribly at education, protection, health care, economic development, border security, drug enforcement and infrastructure. Yet after months of economic collapse, pandemic hysteria and racial anarchy, where 60 years of Democrat Party abuse of Black America was revealed, black leadership still chooses the government as its vehicle to solve these indignities. Why? Because this is what the Democrats desire.
Except for a brief time during Reconstruction, there has never been a time since its inception in 1800 that the Democrats have not had absolute control over most of the black population in America. They have used race in one way or another to maintain power ever since.
The fact that one-hundred fifty years since the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were ratified and fifty-six years since the 1964 Civil Rights Act, blacks are still rioting over racism and still begging government to eradicate it, should tell us something: The Democrat Party uses racism to subdue and control black Americans, not eradicate racism to institute justice. Ending racism would end the Democrats’ stranglehold on Black America.
The proof of this charge is evidenced in a June 4, 2020, Washington Post story, in which a devastating critique highlights the Democrat Party’s dismal failure, in its fake effort, to narrow the wealth gap between black and white Americans. Heather Long and Andrew Van Dam write, “In many ways, the gap between the finances of black and whites is still as wide as it was in 1968.” The story illustrates the fact that in 1968 the average black household had $6,674 in wealth compared to $70,786 for a white household. In 2016 the typical black household had $13,024 in wealth vs $149,703 for a white household.
According to economist Moritz Kuhn, “No progress has been made in reducing inequalities between black and white households over the past 70 years.” But all black Democrats are running for reelection and Joe Biden is “proud of his record in the black community.” I submit to you, that this is not a mistake. It’s the Democrats’ plan.
To keep black Americans on the Democrat plantation and cement their victimization, the study quoted the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, saying, “There are no actions that Black Americans can take unilaterally that will have much of an effect on reducing the racial wealth gap.”
But that’s not true. According to the Brookings Institution if people do these three things, they have a 98 percent chance to stay out of poverty: Get a high school diploma, work full time, and wait until age 21 and get married before having a baby. The Democrats know this. So they have intentionally destroyed the educational system in the inner cities, introduced sex to our children at an early age, and set up and maintained a welfare state that continues to destroy the traditional family.
Democrats have forbidden the black community even the foundational elements of survival by violating their inalienable right to self-defense and religious expression. They have told them they are victims, oppressed and discriminated against. Every black man murdered by a white man and highlighted by the press had one thing in common: They were all unarmed.
Considering the extraordinary amount of crime in the inner-city communities along with the constant complaints of police brutality, this is an interesting phenomenon. Nevertheless, Democrat politicians continually vote to disarm the “hunted” citizens and the black Democrats vote to be disarmed.
In his book The Prince, political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli stated, “For among other ills which ensue from being disarmed is ‘contempt,’ a disgrace a Prince must guard against…There can be no proper relation between one who is armed and one who is not.” The evidence supports the fact that Democrats hold black people down and in utter contempt.

Peripeteia is defined as the moment in Greek tragedy when the hero learns everything he believed is wrong. I reached my peripeteia moment about black leadership when I walked into a maximum-security prison as a young officer and witnessed thousands of young black men, my age, caged like animals. I reached my peripeteia moment with the Democrat Party when I learned that they supported the federally-funded unlimited murder of black babies on an industrial scale.
Regarding the Democrat Party’s true intentions, I hope the killing of George Floyd will provide a peripeteia moment not just for Black America but all of America. This party has reserved for itself and its constituents have erroneously granted it, powers reserved only for God. The condition of Black America provides irrefutable evidence that the Democrat Party cannot provide freedom, dignity, provision or protection for its constituents. It chooses not to. Our Declaration of Independence and philosopher John Locke correctly say these will either come from God, yourself, or not at all.
Racism in America is no longer a government problem. There is no governmental statute in America that condones racism. Today, there are thousands of laws against racism, yet it still exists. Government cannot stop racism. It can only punish racist actions after they have been committed. Therefore, exposed individuals will always be subjected to racist acts, unless they inoculate themselves against the disease.
How does one inoculate oneself against racism? Simple: Whatever your faith, practice it. Become so prolific at your profession that you are desired for your skill alone. And be able to defend yourself against anyone who attempts to violate or infringe upon your inalienable rights as a free person.

I wish racism could be eradicated from the hearts of everyone. But if it went away, Democrats will reinvent it. Democrats need racism or the illusion of racism to keep blacks afraid and under control. We must come to understand, racism is a spiritual problem and must not be fought in the halls of government but in our places of worship, homes, communities, and hearts. Government will then have no choice but to follow.
But until it is eradicated, treat racism like you would treat the weather or disease. We do not depend on them to provide forbearance or respite. We build houses, wear clothes, take medicines, and provide inoculations. Therefore, build this structure against racism: Exercise your freedoms unapologetically. Defend yourself! Look to God, not man, for your assurance and affirmation. Be prolific in your vocation. And choose to be happy.
