thelibertydaily--2020-06-13--The Casualties of Orwellian “Thoughtcrimes”

DETROIT ( ChurchMilitant.com ) - Asserting that all lives matter or that protesters should remain peaceful supposedly is racist speech that now has sudden and dire consequences .
Several advertisers abandoned Fox News host Tucker Carlson shortly after he asserted on his show last week that recent , nationwide Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) protests were n't really about black lives .
`` This may be a lot of things , this moment we are living through , '' observed Carlson .
`` But it is definitely not about black lives , and remember that when they come for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they will . ''
Blowback to Carlson 's comments caused sponsors to pull ads from his show including those by Disney , Papa John 's , Poshmark and T-Mobile .
Carlson also brought up so-called swift justice that caused a men 's basketball coach to be fired in Vancouver for simply liking a tweet that questioned black lives matter with the seeming assumption that all lives really matter regardless of color .
The following day , Carlson returned to the theme of how people were quickly judged to be racist and then immediately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Serbian soccer player , Aleksandar Katai , whose wife was in another state when she posted online comments in the Serbian language that were critical of looters , who were then wrecking Minneapolis .
Although she commented from Chicago , her husband , who was in Los Angeles practicing with his soccer team , the LA Galaxy , nevertheless still suffered the consequences .
The management of the LA Galaxy forced Katai to apologize for his wife and then to denounce her — denounce his own wife .
Then they made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he did .
And then they fired him anyway .
And then they attacked him on his way out , for something he did n't even do and may not even have known about that was written in a language almost nobody in America understands .
Another case Carlson cited involved UCLA professor Gordon Klein who was suspended and placed under police protection for requiring all students to take a previously scheduled exam .
When minority students had asked to be exempt from the exam following the death of George Floyd , Klein @ @ @ @ @ @ @ color had to take the exam .
Saying that all lives matter was once was considered not only part of free speech but simply just common sense .
When viewing it through the current lens of racism , however , the phrase can result in real-world consequences .

DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - Asserting that all lives matter or that protesters should remain peaceful supposedly is racist speech that now has sudden and dire consequences.
Several advertisers abandoned Fox News host Tucker Carlson shortly after he asserted on his show last week that recent, nationwide Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests weren't really about black lives.
Aleksandar Katai with his wife
"This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through," observed Carlson. "But it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will."
Blowback to Carlson's comments caused sponsors to pull ads from his show including those by Disney, Papa John's, Poshmark and T-Mobile.
Carlson also brought up so-called swift justice that caused a men's basketball coach to be fired in Vancouver for simply liking a tweet that questioned black lives matter with the seeming assumption that all lives really matter regardless of color.
The following day, Carlson returned to the theme of how people were quickly judged to be racist and then immediately punished. He brought up the case of the Serbian soccer player, Aleksandar Katai, whose wife was in another state when she posted online comments in the Serbian language that were critical of looters, who were then wrecking Minneapolis.
Although she commented from Chicago, her husband, who was in Los Angeles practicing with his soccer team, the LA Galaxy, nevertheless still suffered the consequences.
The management of the LA Galaxy forced Katai to apologize for his wife and then to denounce her — denounce his own wife. Then they made him endorse Black Lives Matter, which he did. And then they fired him anyway. And then they attacked him on his way out, for something he didn't even do and may not even have known about that was written in a language almost nobody in America understands.
Another case Carlson cited involved UCLA professor Gordon Klein who was suspended and placed under police protection for requiring all students to take a previously scheduled exam. When minority students had asked to be exempt from the exam following the death of George Floyd, Klein refused, saying all students regardless of color had to take the exam.

Carlson noted, "UCLA immediately suspended him. Students threatened to kill him. Now Klein has police cars outside of his house."
Another professor on the California coast met with a similar outcome for exercising free speech. Catholic writer and philosophy teacher Timothy Gordon was fired on June 5 via e-mail by the diocese of Fresno when Gordon's students objected to his tweets critical of BLM.
"This e-mail followed short hours after a petition by progressive students and parents demanded my removal," Gordon related. "The reason? A series of tweets I had made (on summer break) about the domestic terror group "'Black Lives Matter.'"
Gordon added, "The organizers were getting signatories any way they could. I'm told that students were being bullied into signing it."
I will not, whatsoever, ever take Black Lives Matter seriously.

Candance Owens
Napear's company, KHTK, promptly fired him on June 3 just two days after Napear tweeted his original comment.
Meanwhile, some courageous commentators are still speaking up.
Black conservative commentator Candace Owens has made it clear she does not support BLM for a variety of reasons. One such reason is the group isn't concerned with unborn black babies.
"I will not, whatsoever, ever take Black Lives Matter seriously because if black lives mattered," remarked Owens, "we would be talking about abortion ... which has murdered 17 million black babies since its inception."
Owens sentiments are an echo of those expressed years earlier by Milwaukee's former Sheriff David Clarke.
Clarke, who is also black, took to task those protesting under BLM banners in 2014 tweeting, "If only these faux protesters were asked by media about all the black-on-black killing or black babies aborted in [the] U.S. every year."

The Last Time a Republican was Elected Mayor of Chicago was 1927 — City Has Tripled Per Capita Police Spending Since 1964

CHICAGO ( AP ) - Mayor Lori Lightfoot has rejected demands to defund the Chicago Police Department , arguing that neighborhoods want more police support .
But an analysis shows Chicago is spending more on policing per person than at any time in the last half-century despite a persistent drop in crime over the last two decades , while the vast majority of murders remain unsolved .
Chicago allocated about $ 750 million in today ’ s dollars to the police department in 1964 from the city ’ s general operating budget .
About 3.5 million people lived in Chicago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police at a rate of $ 215 or so per resident , adjusted for inflation .
The nonprofit news outlet Injustice Watch provided this article to The Associated Press through a collaboration with Institute for Nonprofit News .
This year , Chicago budgeted $ 1.6 billion for its police department , excluding money set aside for police misconduct lawsuits and police pensions .
That means Chicago is planning to spend more than $ 600 per resident on policing in 2020 , according to an Injustice Watch analysis of census figures and police budget @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Chicago ’ s per capita spending on policing is more than double that in Miami-Dade County in Florida , which has a similar population , and higher than Los Angeles , which is home to 1 million more residents , according to an analysis of publicly available data .
Police records show violent crimes have steadily declined in Chicago after peaking in the 1990s .
The rate at which police solve murders in the city has also cratered .
Still , the police budget has consistently taken up about 40 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For activists and city leaders calling on Lightfoot to cut the police budget , it ’ s clear that the money could be better spent elsewhere .
“ Right now , we ’ re paying the police to kill folks like me , that ’ s what ’ s happening , ” said Ald .
Jeanette B. Taylor ( 20th ) , one of six democratic socialists on the City Council .
“ We can ’ t get a nurse , a social worker , or a counselor in schools , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ’ s not common sense.
” Taylor and the rest of the caucus penned an op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times Monday , arguing that the bloated police budget prevents the city from effectively tackling the coronavirus pandemic , which has carved a $ 700 million hole in the city ’ s 2020 budget .
“ Chicago needs enormous public investment to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic , and when we sit down to hash out a budget this year , we will be faced with a choice : We can cut policing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ else , ” the caucus wrote .
Protests continued this week in Chicago and around the nation , spurred by outrage over the May killing of George Floyd , who died in Minnesota after an officer knelt on his neck , and the long list of Black people killed by police .
Protestors have decried systemic racism and called for police accountability , and demanded that police be defunded or abolished so governments can spend more money on social services .
The mayor ’ s office did not respond to specific questions about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per capita spending .
But at a news conference Tuesday , Lightfoot said she disagrees that adequately funding social services and keeping the police budget intact are mutually exclusive .
“ I don ’ t think it ’ s an either-or proposition , ” she said .
“ The investments we ’ re committed to make in mental health , in affordable housing , in workforce development , we need to make those investments , period .
And we committed to that.
” While funding for the Chicago Police Department has steadily increased @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crimes committed in the city has fallen dramatically since its peak in the early 1990s .
What ’ s also dropped since then is the rate at which Chicago cops solve murders .
In 1967 , the police reported solving 90 % of homicide cases .
By 1997 , the murder clearance rate was 57 % .
In 2017 , the department reported clearing less than one in four homicide cases .
An analysis of police records by NPR from October showed the murder clearance rate was even more abysmal when the victim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police departments around the country had a murder clearance rate of about 62 % in 2017 , according to the FBI .
Despite its failures to find and capture most murderers , the Chicago Police Department budget nearly doubled between 1967 and 2017 , going from $ 867 million to $ 1.5 billion , adjusted for inflation .
This year ’ s police budget is the largest on record .
Salaries , wages , and overtime pay together take up more than 80 % of the funds .
There are more than 13,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most since 2008 .
Municipal finance expert Michael D. Belsky said the most obvious way to slash the police budget is to have fewer officers on the city ’ s payroll .
That means layoffs , said Belsky , executive director of the Center for Municipal Finance at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy .
But there ’ s no way to lay off scores of officers without going through the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police , a trade union with nearly 350,000 members nationwide .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone ; sometimes you have to go to arbitration , sometimes you end up getting sued by the officer and have to settle , ” he said .
“ It ’ s not that easy to just take out your budget ax and start cutting unionized employees of any sort.
” The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 in Chicago did not respond to requests to comment .
In a statement , the Chicago Police Department said it supports investments in community-based organizations and city departments that provide youth programming , family services @ @ @ @ @ @ @ services .
But the department did not answer specific questions about cutting its budget .
Tamar Manasseh , founder and president of Mothers Against Senseless Killings , or MASK , an anti-violence community group on the South Side , said she ’ s in no rush to dismantle the police department .
But she thinks the city should redirect policing dollars to grassroots efforts that stomp out crime at the root .
“ I don ’ t know if there ’ s enough commitment from the community yet to police our own neighborhoods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get there .
We don ’ t need as many police as we have now , ” she said .
Manasseh ’ s group is headquartered at a vacant lot straddling the border between Englewood and Auburn Gresham .
The group prioritizes keeping the peace in the neighborhood without getting law enforcement involved .
“ In the six years I ’ ve been here , sitting in one of the most dangerous corners of the city , I ’ ve never called 9-1-1 , and I have yet to be murdered , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ‘ ” she said .
Volunteers run MASK , but the group provides stipends to a handful of community residents that mediate disputes between other residents .
The group also pays for a handful of young people to attend trade schools .
Manasseh said the city could learn from the group ’ s approach to reducing crime and violence in poverty-stricken neighborhoods .
“ We sent kids to a trade school and gave them a stipend , and guess what ?

“ We ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we haven ’ t experimented with - we know it works , and all you have to do is pay people to police their own communities and guess what ?

thelibertydaily--2020-06-14--Maduro’s Money Man Detained In Cabo Verde, Africa. DOJ Battling To Extradite Him To U.S.

Alex Nain Saab Moran – who is wanted by U.S. authorities for laundering hundred of millions of dollars for Venezuela Nicolas Maduro ’ s regime – was detained in Cabo Verde , Africa on Friday , during a scheduled refueling stop from Iran , said sources familiar with the investigation .
Saab Moran flew into the African nation on a Venezuelan government plane , the sources said .
Those sources , who spoke on condition of anonymity , said Justice Department officials have already arrived in Cabo Verde , in an effort to take Saab Moran into custody and extradite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pending charges .
DOJ officials could not be immediately reached for comment .
However , the situation will not be simple , they say , because Saab Moran is considered to be far more valuable than the just the money laundering charges contained in his indictment .
“ In fact , he ’ s an enormous asset for the U.S. with information not only on the Maduro regime ” but other nations connected to the regime that are considered serious adversaries of the United States , said the sources .
According to information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Maduro ’ s government left early Saturday morning for Cabo Verde , Africa to fight off an extradition of Saab Moran to the United States .
Although Saab Moran was born in Columbia , he is a citizen of Venezuela , who also has extremely close ties to Cuba , Russia and Iran , said the sources .
“ Saab is the biggest asset to the U.S. in the fight against Maduro ’ s regime , Hezbollah , Iran and Cuba , ” said the source familiar with the investigation .
“ He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States .
There can be no games with this at all.
” On Saturday evening Jorge Arreaza M Tweeted that the Maduro government “ denounces the arbitrary and illegal detention of Venezuelan citizen , Alex Nain Saab , on the part of Interpol , when he transited through the Republic of Cabo Verde.
” Saab Moran was indicted by the Justice Department last July on federal money-laundering charges .
He was accused of bribing Venezuelan officials and funneling more than $ 350 million to overseas accounts as part of a food program that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hungry people in Venezuela .
But Saab ’ s money laundering schemes were far reaching and were done with the assistance of the Maduro regime , which benefited from the vast global transfers .

Alex Nain Saab Moran – who is wanted by U.S. authorities for laundering hundred of millions of dollars for Venezuela Nicolas Maduro’s regime – was detained in Cabo Verde, Africa on Friday, during a scheduled refueling stop from Iran, said sources familiar with the investigation.
Saab Moran flew into the African nation on a Venezuelan government plane, the sources said. Those sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Justice Department officials have already arrived in Cabo Verde, in an effort to take Saab Moran into custody and extradite him to the United States to face pending charges.
DOJ officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
However, the situation will not be simple, they say, because Saab Moran is considered to be far more valuable than the just the money laundering charges contained in his indictment.
“In fact, he’s an enormous asset for the U.S. with information not only on the Maduro regime” but other nations connected to the regime that are considered serious adversaries of the United States, said the sources.
According to information provided to this reporter, members of Maduro’s government left early Saturday morning for Cabo Verde, Africa to fight off an extradition of Saab Moran to the United States.
Although Saab Moran was born in Columbia, he is a citizen of Venezuela, who also has extremely close ties to Cuba, Russia and Iran, said the sources.
“Saab is the biggest asset to the U.S. in the fight against Maduro’s regime, Hezbollah, Iran and Cuba,” said the source familiar with the investigation. “He absolutely must be extradited to the United States. There can be no games with this at all.”
On Saturday evening Jorge Arreaza M Tweeted that the Maduro government “denounces the arbitrary and illegal detention of Venezuelan citizen, Alex Nain Saab, on the part of Interpol, when he transited through the Republic of Cabo Verde.”

Saab Moran was indicted by the Justice Department last July on federal money-laundering charges. He was accused of bribing Venezuelan officials and funneling more than $350 million to overseas accounts as part of a food program that he said was used to serve the hungry people in Venezuela.
But Saab’s money laundering schemes were far reaching and were done with the assistance of the Maduro regime, which benefited from the vast global transfers. One of the biggest schemes involved a fictitious home building company and began in 2011 with the help of an accomplice in Florida, named Alvaro Pulido Vargas. Vargas is also wanted by the Department of Justice.
“Between on or about March 12, 2012, and on or about December 1, 2014, ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN, ALVARO PULIDO VARGAS, a/k/a German Enrique Rubio Salas, and their co-conspirators caused wire transfers totaling approximately $350,041,500 to be made from bank accounts in Venezuela owned and controlled by SAAB and PULIDO, through correspondent bank accounts in the United States, and then to overseas bank accounts owned and controlled by SAAB and PULIDO,” stated the July, 2019 indictment.
“Between on or about January 16, 2014, and on or about September 15, 2015, ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN and AL V ARO PULIDO V ARGAS, a/k/a German Enrique Rubio Salas, distributed profits and paid expenses related to the corrupt scheme by, among other things, causing wire transfers to be made to bank accounts of Co-Conspirator 1 in the Southern District of Florida,” the indictment reads.

While Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) has described the six-block “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ) in the city as being “more like a block party” with the potential to turn into a “summer of love” than an “armed takeover” or “military junta,” Seattle’s police chief is painting a much different and far more troubling picture of what’s happening when news cameras aren’t rolling.
Police chief Carmen Best released a video statement to her officers on Thursday, telling them the decision to abandon the East Precinct, which is the base for the CHAZ, was out of her control. She stated that “to have a change of course nearly two weeks in” was like “an insult” to the officers and to the community, but that “ultimately the city had other plans.”
Best also talked about the reports of armed protesters patrolling the zone, the alleged shakedowns of local businesses, the alleged demands for people to show IDs, and the alleged threats to burn down the police precinct.
Watch:
She also said Thursday to reporters that police were not able to respond quickly to 911 calls for violent crimes including rapes in the area because of the zone barriers:
“Our calls for service have more than tripled,” she told reporters. “These are responses to emergency calls — rapes, robberies, and all sorts of violent acts that have been occurring in the area that we’re not able to get to.” At the press conference with Durkan, who claimed the occupants of the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ) were engaging in an act of “patriotism,” Best remained noncommittal on a when police might return to the area, but explained that the evacuation had come after reports the precinct could be burned down. “We were asked to do an operational plan, in case we needed to leave,” Best said, not saying who exactly gave the order to withdraw. “We got an update that there was the potential for fire — of course if the precinct goes down in fire, the whole block could potentially burn up.”

Best told a local news station Friday that the goal was for police to take back the precinct ASAP without harm coming to any of the officer or occupiers:
Seattle protesters continued their fourth day occupying the blocks around an abandoned police precinct Friday, as the city’s top cop said she wants back inside “as soon as possible.” “Ideally, we just need to get back into the building,” Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best told local station KIRO-7. “People are looking for a plan, but we want to make sure we modulate anything that we’re doing,” Best told the station. “We don’t want to exacerbate or intensify or incite problems that are going to lead to harm to the officers or the people who are standing by,” she added.
The power dynamic here is especially interesting, considering the alleged racial basis for the hostile takeover by radical Black Lives Matter and other activists to begin with. The police chief is black and wants to be more aggressive in taking back the precinct (and, in effect, the city), but Mayor Durkan and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, both of whom are white, appear to be overruling her at every turn and making ridiculous statements to the media sugarcoating what’s happening at the CHAZ.
This is like Occupy Wall Street all over again, and it’s dangerous. What’s happening in Seattle in the “autonomous zone” is not a First Amendment-protected protest. Media outlets like CNN and MSNBC and Democratic “leaders” like Durkan and Inslee need to stop gaslighting America as to what’s going on. It’s straight-up anarchy, is anything but “peaceful” once the cameras are turned off, and should not be allowed to go on.
They need to treat this situation just as they would if it were Tea Partiers or Reopen marchers taking over six blocks of an American city: Shut it down in the safest way possible, and soon.

Last night 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed by police in Atlanta after resisting arrest and wrestling with two officers .

George Floyd’s funeral was four days ago and the officers involved have been arrested and charged. It seemed the violent protests, at least the worst of it, was behind us. Now we have this new case, also caught on video, and this morning there is a protest at the scene with people blocking traffic in front of the Wendys. The leader of the protest is saying, “This is the new ground zero.”

Update: Atlanta police chief Erica Shields has resigned. In addition the mayor has asked that the two officers involved be fired. The mayor reviewed body camera footage which showed Brooks did turn and try to fire the taser before he was shot. You can watch it for yourself in the clip below, starting at 5:00. He definitely turned and aimed. In fact it’s possible he actually hit the officer with the taser as the office chasing seems to stumble into a parked car.
But Mayor Bottoms said, “there is a clear distinction between what you can do and what you should do.” In other words, even if the officers were justified in using deadly force by the book, she believes this was not a justified shooting under the circumstances.
Update: Protester organizers have reportedly sent white people onto interstate 85 to block it off.

Mr. Sessions arrived in Washington as a figure of stern probity, a Republican hailed by Democrats and Republicans as a scrupulously fair federal judge from West Texas.
Nominated by President Ronald Reagan, he sailed through Senate confirmation, 90-0, for what was supposed to be a 10-year term at the helm of 10,000 agents, 56 field offices and the traditions of a storied Federal Bureau of Investigation.
But in a tenure crowded with troubles and stumbling responses, Mr. Sessions presided for less than six years over an agency that:
mounted much-criticized deadly sieges at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and Waco, Texas;
tried to enlist American librarians to catch Soviet spies;
and was forced to concede that agents in the past had overzealously spied on Americans protesting government policies in Central America.

Rush Limbaugh reached out to the popular black radio show, “The Breakfast Club.” Rush wanted to express his outrage over the “murder” of George Floyd and start a healing conversation about race.
While I respect Rush’s attempt, for the sake of not raising my blood pressure, I did not listen to their interview. The hosts of the “The Breakfast Club” are not interested in the truth. They are operatives of the Democratic Party and fake news media. Their careers are built upon selling blacks the lie that America is eternally and irredeemably racist. Blacks’ only salvation is to continue voting for Democrats.
Democrats and fake news media have deceived blacks for decades. Fishing for black votes, they successfully hooked blacks. Their bait was the lie that Republicans are racist and mean.
Consequently, blacks have been swimming around for the past 50 years with Democrats’ hook firmly in their jaws. Democrats have failed and even made worse every problem they promised blacks that they would fix. And yet, a majority of blacks remain loyal Democrat voters, refusing to spit out that hook. Now, Democrats are promising blacks that if they defeat Trump in November, they will disband the police, rip up the U.S. Constitution, provide free everything, and make whites subservient.
As I predicted, “The Breakfast Club” hosts disrespected Rush and said their interview was a waste of time.
Someone said my articles are not doing any good because I am only preaching to the choir.

It finally dawned on me that perhaps God has called me to minister to white America. 99.9% of mainstream media bombards white America 24/7 with the lie that they are instinctively racist, demand that they feel guilty for their white privilege, and owe blacks big-time. It is refreshing and encouraging for whites to hear and read articles by a black person who realizes the tremendous blessing of being born an American, does not believe they are entitled, and does not harbor resentment against fellow Americans.
During the Vietnam War, radio personality, Hanoi Hannah did three propaganda broadcasts daily to frighten and shame U.S. troops into abandoning their posts. Fake news media is the American lefts’ Hanoi Hannah, relentlessly trying to shame and discourage Christians, conservatives, and Republicans.
Propagandizing Americans, fake news media claims a majority hates Christianity and our country as founded. They claim most Americans want social-justice, socialism, and Communism. Therefore, all of us racist and hateful holdouts must throw down our weapons and surrender to their agenda.
This is why Conservative voices such as mine, Rush Limbaugh and others are so important, keeping decent everyday Americans encouraged and empowered.
To remove Trump from the Oval House, deranged Democrats and fake news media have employed a long list of illegal schemes. They deem crushing our economy via corona-madness and launching a race war as mere collateral damage toward achieving their treasonous mission. By the way, our economy has begun to bounce back with 2.5 million new jobs. Their demonic race war will also fail. A recent poll has Trump’s approval amazingly over 40% with black likely voters.
