revolutionradio--2020-06-11--As Businesses Flee The Violence, Will Major U.S. Cities Be Transformed Into Economic Wastelands?

Urban communities all over the U.S. are now facing the possibility of a mass exodus of businesses , and many local leaders are freaking out because they realize what such a mass exodus will mean for their cities .
In the aftermath of George Floyd ’ s death , peaceful protests were held in more than 300 cities all across America , and a recent CNN poll found that 84 percent of all Americans supported those peaceful protests .

Urban communities all over the U.S. are now facing the possibility of a mass exodus of businesses, and many local leaders are freaking out because they realize what such a mass exodus will mean for their cities.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said it would take a “Herculean effort” to keep businesses open in disadvantaged neighborhoods after looting and damage that occurred during the first weekend of protests following the death of George Floyd.
“I’ve been on calls and text messages with people all day who fought hard to bring economic development to areas of the city, only to see the Walgreens, the CVS, the grocery store, everything vanish in an eye blink,” Lightfoot said on a May 31 call with distraught aldermen. “It’s going to take a Herculean effort on the part of all of us to convince businesses not to disappear, to come back. We’re prepared to fight that fight.”

Speakers called for the resignation of Mayor Jenny Durkan and the defunding of the Seattle Police Department before leaving the building about 1 a.m., chanting “defund SPD” as they returned to the zone.
In this “autonomous zone”, demonstrators are passing out free food to everyone and they want to show the world that society actually doesn’t need any police.

No, The U.S. Economy Will Definitely Not Be Returning To “Normal”. In Fact, Things Will Soon Get Even Worse.

2020 has been quite a year so far .
It has been one nightmare after another , and yet the economic optimists continue to insist that economic activity will soon snap back to normal levels somehow .

2020 has been quite a year so far. It has been one nightmare after another, and yet the economic optimists continue to insist that economic activity will soon snap back to normal levels somehow. So the economic optimists aren’t really alarmed by the fact that the core areas of our major cities have been torched, gutted and looted by rioters, because they assume that all of this violence is just a temporary phenomenon and that any damage that has been done can be repaired. And they aren’t really alarmed by the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is starting to escalate again. In fact, over the last seven days we have seen the number of newly confirmed cases around the globe hit levels that we have never seen before. They just assume that “the worst is behind us” and that the vast majority of the businesses and jobs that have been lost during this pandemic will be quickly recovered.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they were actually correct?
Sadly, the truth is that economic conditions will not be returning to normal. Yes, some of the jobs that were lost will be recovered as states start to “reopen” their economies. But more than 100,000 businesses have already permanently closed during this new economic downturn, and all of those jobs are lost forever.
And yes, the level of economic activity will rise as states end their lockdowns, but it will still be much lower than it was before COVID-19 started spreading like wildfire in the United States.
At this point, even the perpetually optimistic OECD is admitting that global economic activity as a whole will be way down in 2020…
If a second outbreak is seen, the OECD forecasts global growth will plunge by 7.6% in 2020, and “remain well short” of its growth activity levels from 2019, suggesting no V-shaped recovery. If a second wave can be avoided, the OECD forecasts the world economy will still contract by 6% this year and again fail to recover to pre-corona levels by the end of 2021.
“Both scenarios are sobering, as the economic activity does not and cannot return to normal under these circumstances,” OECD chief economist Laurence Boone wrote in the report.
A 6 or 7 percent decline in worldwide GDP is definitely not “normal”.
Actually, if this OECD projection turns out to be accurate, we will be talking about a “global depression” by the end of the year.
Here in the U.S., a key measure of consumer optimism just dropped by 5.4 percent even though state economies all over the country are “reopening”…

But all of the optimists keep telling me that things are “getting better”.
In fact, they just keep on insisting that a new golden age for America is right around the corner.
Well, apparently the largest jewelry retailer in the U.S. doesn’t share that optimism, because they just announced that they will be closing at least 150 stores…
The world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry says it will not reopen at least 150 of its North America stores that were temporarily shuttered in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Signet Jewelers, which operates 3,172 stores globally primarily under the name brands of Kay Jewelers, Zales, Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry and Piercing Pagoda, also plans to close an additional 150 stores by the end of its fiscal year, which ends in February 2021.
Overall, the U.S. retail industry is facing a tsunami of store closings that is unlike anything we have ever seen before…
As many as 25,000 U.S. stores could close permanently this year after the coronavirus pandemic devastated an industry where many mall-based retailers were already struggling.
The number would shatter the record set in 2019, when more than 9,800 stores closed their doors for good, according to a report from retail and tech data firm Coresight Research.
That sure doesn’t sound like an “economic recovery” to me.
Meanwhile, the reckless money creation that the Federal Reserve has been engaging in is starting to show up in our food prices. According to Nielsen, we have seen some startling food inflation over the past three months…
Market-research firm Nielsen said food prices rose 5.8% in the 13 weeks from March 1 to May 30 compared with the year-ago period.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. The cost of living is going to continue to rise aggressively, and this comes at a time when more than 42 million Americans have already lost their jobs.

Of course Fed Chair Jerome Powell completely disagrees with that assessment, and he is trying really hard to convince all of us that a new economic depression has not begun…
Sure, unemployment’s only comparison is the Great Depression. And businesses across the country are closed. And many people are struggling to buy food. But Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell doesn’t see any similarities.
“I don’t think that the Great Depression is a good example or likely outcome for a model of what’s happening here at all, I really don’t,” he said. “There are so many fundamental differences.”
And I would actually concur with Powell that what we are facing will not be very similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In the long run, what we are facing will be far worse.
The “perfect storm” is here, and our economy is being shaken to the core. Many people continue to be hopeful that the worst is now behind us, but what they don’t realize is that what we have experienced so far is just a warm up act for what is still to come.

revolutionradio--2020-06-11--Advertisers Boycott “Tucker Carlson” Over Claim That BLM “Doesn’t Care About Black Lives”

In what ’ s shaping up to be a re-run of the 2018 “ advertiser boycott ” against Tucker Carlson ’ s prime time show on Fox News , a number of major advertisers have said they would cease advertising on the show immediately after the Fox host said the BLM movement was “ definitely not about saving Black Lives ” .
The Huffington Post and Media Matters were unsurprisingly all over the story as it ‘ broke ’ the news a few hours ago , citing comments from executives on twitter , and statements from company PR machines .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Papa John ’ s and Vari have pulled their commercials from ‘ Tucker Carlson Tonight , ’ Media Matters reported Wednesday , ” according to Huffpo .
At least one company rep insisted that the advertisements were placed on Tucker by a “ third-party ” ad buyer , who had been instructed not to buy the ad time .
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert , responding to a Twitter user on Tuesday asking if the telecom giant supported Carlson ’ s message , wrote back : “ It definitely is not .
Bye-bye Tucker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followed with confirmations on Wednesday .
Disney ’ s advertising of its ABC network on Fox News was never supposed to run on Carlson ’ s show at all , according to Deadline .
“ The ABC advertisements were placed on the show without our knowledge by third party media buyers who were unaware that we do not advertise on the show , and they have now been notified not to place any further ads , ” an ABC spokesperson told the entertainment site .
Carlson has repeatedly trashed protesters as national unrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This week , he even took issue with a CNN town hall in which “ Sesame Street ” characters explained the protests .
As Tucker explained in the segment , it ’ s a terrifying time in the US , not because police officers are massacring thousands of minorities in the streets ( they aren ’ t ) , but because radical left-wing agitators have hijacked a largely peaceful protest movement decrying the evils of police brutality and insisting that reforms be implemented to protect the civil liberties of all Americans , stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – most importantly – stop police unions from protecting officers with multiple conduct complaints .
Thanks to the rise of smartphones , whispers about police brutality , which for years has been tolerated as an unfortunate fact of life in America .
But now , public opinion polls show that the vast majority of Americans – both black and white – support reform .
Instead , radical “ professional activists ” are pushing destructive policies and hateful rhetoric encouraging further racial animosity and division .
And yet , somehow , Tucker is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rhetoric ?

In what’s shaping up to be a re-run of the 2018 “advertiser boycott” against Tucker Carlson’s prime time show on Fox News, a number of major advertisers have said they would cease advertising on the show immediately after the Fox host said the BLM movement was “definitely not about saving Black Lives”.
The Huffington Post and Media Matters were unsurprisingly all over the story as it ‘broke’ the news a few hours ago, citing comments from executives on twitter, and statements from company PR machines. “Disney, T-Mobile, SmileDirectClub, Papa John’s and Vari have pulled their commercials from ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ Media Matters reported Wednesday,” according to Huffpo.
At least one company rep insisted that the advertisements were placed on Tucker by a “third-party” ad buyer, who had been instructed not to buy the ad time.
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert, responding to a Twitter user on Tuesday asking if the telecom giant supported Carlson’s message, wrote back: “It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter.”
Other advertisers followed with confirmations on Wednesday.
Disney’s advertising of its ABC network on Fox News was never supposed to run on Carlson’s show at all, according to Deadline.
“The ABC advertisements were placed on the show without our knowledge by third party media buyers who were unaware that we do not advertise on the show, and they have now been notified not to place any further ads,” an ABC spokesperson told the entertainment site.
Carlson has repeatedly trashed protesters as national unrest grows over police brutality and racism. This week, he even took issue with a CNN town hall in which “Sesame Street” characters explained the protests.
As Tucker explained in the segment, it’s a terrifying time in the US, not because police officers are massacring thousands of minorities in the streets (they aren’t), but because radical left-wing agitators have hijacked a largely peaceful protest movement decrying the evils of police brutality and insisting that reforms be implemented to protect the civil liberties of all Americans, stop unfair racial profiling of minorities, and – most importantly – stop police unions from protecting officers with multiple conduct complaints.

Thanks to the rise of smartphones, whispers about police brutality, which for years has been tolerated as an unfortunate fact of life in America. But now, public opinion polls show that the vast majority of Americans – both black and white – support reform. Instead, radical “professional activists” are pushing destructive policies and hateful rhetoric encouraging further racial animosity and division.
And yet, somehow, Tucker is the one accused of using “hateful” rhetoric?


revolutionradio--2020-06-11--Former Antifa member describes their own acts “domestic terrorism”

A former Antifa member is speaking out against followers and siding with President Trump in calling them terrorists .
Gabriel Nadales recently spoke to Fox Business Network ’ s Stuart Varney , where he praised President Trump for tweeting his intention to designate Antifa a “ domestic terror organization.
” In an address in Cape Canaveral , Trump said the memory of George Floyd was being dishonored by rioters and anarchists , led by Antifa and other radical left groups .
Nadales concurs , telling Varney : “ Antifa ’ s acts are the very definition of domestic terrorism.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we ’ re seeing is clearly not people peacefully protesting the actions of one bad police officer .
He added : “ If you look at some of the violence , it ’ s being instigated by anarchists and Antifa activists , not by the peaceful protesters who are rightfully angered by what happened.
” Nadales , who grew up in California , was part of Antifa in 2011 , and he has said it ’ s the most violent group he ’ s ever been part of .
He said it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was back then , and although he declined to talk about everything he was involved in , he said they ’ ve become more emboldened lately .
The places where we ’ ve seen a lot of violence recently , like Chicago and St. Paul , are places where Antifa has gone unchecked , according to Nadales .
He told Fox News ’ Laura Ingraham that college campuses essentially let Antifa “ work under their noses , ” with some allowing them to openly recruit people in broad daylight .
Last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leftist group set up a recruiting table on the University of Florida campus , where they invited students to an event that would connect them with other far-left groups .
According to Campus Reform , an event they were touting , Radical Rush , contained rhetoric condemning police and the American government .
One flyer said the police kill thousands of people each year , tear families apart , and create “ racist militias.
” Nadales said : “ We don ’ t allow ISIS to recruit on college campuses , and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , either.
” He also pointed out that the group ’ s name is misleading in the sense that it hides its true intentions .
He said that although they claim their goal is to fight fascism , they essentially consider anything that doesn ’ t adhere to their radical leftist agenda as “ fascism.

” However , some experts believe that Trump will not be able to define Antifa as a terrorist organization because they don ’ t exist as a distinct entity .
Instead , it ’ s used more as an umbrella term to describe a range of far-left and anarchist groups .

When asked if he believes they ’ re capable of moving around the country and stockpiling things like bricks and Molotov cocktails for riots , he said yes .

A former Antifa member is speaking out against followers and siding with President Trump in calling them terrorists.
Gabriel Nadales recently spoke to Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney, where he praised President Trump for tweeting his intention to designate Antifa a “domestic terror organization.” In an address in Cape Canaveral, Trump said the memory of George Floyd was being dishonored by rioters and anarchists, led by Antifa and other radical left groups.
Nadales concurs, telling Varney: “Antifa’s acts are the very definition of domestic terrorism.”
He pointed out that a lot of what we’re seeing is clearly not people peacefully protesting the actions of one bad police officer. He added: “If you look at some of the violence, it’s being instigated by anarchists and Antifa activists, not by the peaceful protesters who are rightfully angered by what happened.”
Nadales, who grew up in California, was part of Antifa in 2011, and he has said it’s the most violent group he’s ever been part of.
He said it’s a lot different now than it was back then, and although he declined to talk about everything he was involved in, he said they’ve become more emboldened lately. The places where we’ve seen a lot of violence recently, like Chicago and St. Paul, are places where Antifa has gone unchecked, according to Nadales.
He told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that college campuses essentially let Antifa “work under their noses,” with some allowing them to openly recruit people in broad daylight.
Last year, there were reports that the radical leftist group set up a recruiting table on the University of Florida campus, where they invited students to an event that would connect them with other far-left groups.
According to Campus Reform, an event they were touting, Radical Rush, contained rhetoric condemning police and the American government. One flyer said the police kill thousands of people each year, tear families apart, and create “racist militias.”
Nadales said: “We don’t allow ISIS to recruit on college campuses, and we should not allow Antifa to do that, either.”
He also pointed out that the group’s name is misleading in the sense that it hides its true intentions. He said that although they claim their goal is to fight fascism, they essentially consider anything that doesn’t adhere to their radical leftist agenda as “fascism.”
Antifa believed to be behind much of the rioting across the country
Many believe that Antifa is working with criminals and looters to incite riots in places like Minneapolis, New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
After Trump’s tweet, Attorney General Bill Barr expressed a similar sentiment, saying that “the violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.”
However, some experts believe that Trump will not be able to define Antifa as a terrorist organization because they don’t exist as a distinct entity. Instead, it’s used more as an umbrella term to describe a range of far-left and anarchist groups.
Nadales supported this notion, saying it’s a complex movement and that not everyone will be wearing black masks and participating in riots.
When asked if he believes they’re capable of moving around the country and stockpiling things like bricks and Molotov cocktails for riots, he said yes. He pointed out that the governor of Minnesota said lots of people had been coming from out of state to protests and riots there.
Nadales said there’s a lot of anger right now, and some of it is justified. Of course, not everyone participating in peaceful protests is part of Antifa, but he believes that a lot of the violence we’re seeing is coming from them. Unfortunately, he has said in the past that he believes they’ll only become even more aggressive if they’re not stopped.


revolutionradio--2020-06-12--Over 95% Of UK “COVID-19” Deaths Had “Pre-Existing Condition”

Over 95 % of “ COVID Deaths ” recorded in England and Wales had potentially serious comorbidities , according to statistics released by NHS England .
The latest figures make for pretty stark reading .
Or , rather , they would make for stark reading…if they didn ’ t follow the exact same pattern already shown in other nations around the world .
You can read the full report here .
We ’ re going to focus on the comorbidity stats .
Here are the number of deaths where Covid19 was listed as the only cause , split by age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Wales since the beginning of the “ pandemic ” .
Simply put : Of the 27045 deaths with Covid19 in English hospitals ( up to June 3rd ) , only 1318 had no pre-existing conditions .
That ’ s less than 5 % .
This mirrors , almost exactly , the statistics reported in Italy back in March .
Christopher Bowyer has made some great graphs for the figures at Hector Drummond Magazine , none more impactful than this this : Those big green bars are all the people who died “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease .
The little yellow bars are the people who died with Covid19 and nothing else .
In fact , the 25,727 other cases were listed as having over 42,000 comorbidities .
That ’ s almost 2 each ( the report itself points out that many patients had multiple conditions ) .
This , again , aligns completely with the Italian figures which said over 80 % of fatalities had at least 2 comorbidities .
What are these comorbidities ?
We don ’ t know .
Not entirely specifically .
The report lists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , asthma and dementia among others .
But it also lists nearly 19,000 “ other ” conditions , presumably including liver failure , emphysema , AIDS , ALL forms of cancers and literally potentially thousands of other diseases .
Implicit in this is the possibility that these diseases were the actual cause of death , and that Covid19 played no direct role at all .
Further , the PCR test for coronavirus can return false positives in up to 80 % of cases , so it ’ s entirely possible the majority of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This isn ’ t breaking news .
We have covered this numerous times .
No matter how you switch them around the Covid numbers , as they currently stand , will never add up .

The latest figures make for pretty stark reading. Or, rather, they would make for stark reading…if they didn’t follow the exact same pattern already shown in other nations around the world.
You can read the full report here. We’re going to focus on the comorbidity stats. Here are the number of deaths where Covid19 was listed as the only cause, split by age:
Ages 0-19: 3
Ages 20-39: 32
Ages 40-59: 255
Ages 60-79: 551
Ages 80+: 477
These are across all of England and Wales since the beginning of the “pandemic”.
Simply put: Of the 27045 deaths with Covid19 in English hospitals (up to June 3rd), only 1318 had no pre-existing conditions. That’s less than 5%.
This mirrors, almost exactly, the statistics reported in Italy back in March.
Christopher Bowyer has made some great graphs for the figures at Hector Drummond Magazine, none more impactful than this this:
Those big green bars are all the people who died “with” Covid19 AND some other serious disease. The little yellow bars are the people who died with Covid19 and nothing else.
In fact, the 25,727 other cases were listed as having over 42,000 comorbidities. That’s almost 2 each (the report itself points out that many patients had multiple conditions). This, again, aligns completely with the Italian figures which said over 80% of fatalities had at least 2 comorbidities.
What are these comorbidities? We don’t know. Not entirely specifically. The report lists ischemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, asthma and dementia among others. But it also lists nearly 19,000 “other” conditions, presumably including liver failure, emphysema, AIDS, ALL forms of cancers and literally potentially thousands of other diseases.
Implicit in this is the possibility that these diseases were the actual cause of death, and that Covid19 played no direct role at all.
Further, the PCR test for coronavirus can return false positives in up to 80% of cases, so it’s entirely possible the majority of these deaths never even had the virus.
This isn’t breaking news. We have covered this numerous times.
No matter how you switch them around the Covid numbers, as they currently stand, will never add up.

Dr. Fauci and the Scarf Lady are not the only Virus Patrol miscreants spreading the Covid Hysteria and thereby empowering the authorities to keep suffocating everyday economic life and personal liberty in America .
In fact , there is a whole camarilla of current and former health officials , purported disease experts , all-purpose talking heads and other Washington apparatchiks who continue to appear on mainstream media , peddling the hoary tale that coronavirus is some kind of horror flick monster : It purportedly just keeps springing from its Lockdown grave – whack-a-mole fashion – the instant officialdom relaxes its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ groomers ” of Big Pharma , and their job is to keep public fears on the boil so that the demand for high-priced treatments , cures and preventative vaccines becomes overwhelming .
And given that the Covid is now rapidly succumbing to the exhaustion of its infection cycle and the summertime sun , their exact current mission is one of bridging the gap .

After all , they desperately need these hot spots to keep the aggregate narrative alive because it is visibly collapsing by the day .

The numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States has been hunkered down for the past seven weeks to try slowing the spread of the virus , but reopening the economy will make matters worse .

Bob Griswold contacted me and he had an urgency that I have never seen in him and he desperately wanted to share his observations. America is in a crisis like none other in our history and Bob feels the desperation of watching a nation plunge to its death with barely a whimper.
Over the past 6 years, I have interviewed Bob Griswold a number of times and in these 6 years, I have never seen him filled with such anxiety about what is befalling our nation.
In a small sample of what we spoke about in our interview, we discussed several critical issues:
The inevitability of full-blown civil war.
The soon-to-be escalation of the present conflict into mass casualty events as well as assassinations.
The overt attempt to eviscerate the church because as Bob correctly states, the Satanic Left can’t handle the power of Jesus Christ.
Antifa’s Occupation of the heart of Seattle as the police are nowhere to be found.
Extreme food inflation.
The coming use of food as a weapon against the people and much, much more.

revolutionradio--2020-06-12--Why we should all be THANKING cops, not denouncing them

As the lunatic Left devolves into an actual obedience cult run by violent warlords celebrated by snowflake libtard whites , the overriding narrative of the zombiefied progressives is that “ black ” lives matter , but cops and whites should all be hunted down and killed .
Of course , it ’ s all just part of the same globalist game of divide and conquer .
They can never allow peace to prevail , since peace doesn ’ t hand more power to the globalists , so they stir up dissent and hatred as their tool of oppression for all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they ’ ve declared war on cops .
It ’ s all part of the chaos plan ( see the podcast below ) to collapse America ’ s cities into uncontrolled chaos and lawlessness .
Yet men and women in blue are the only thing standing between us and anarchy .
We would all do well to remember that cops are poorly paid , poorly equipped and yet put their lives at risk every day to try to keep the worst criminal elements of society under control .
Now , on top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ condemned by society and violently attacked by protesters .
I know a lot of cops .
I ’ ve trained with cops , both on the mat and at the range .
And I ’ m here to tell you nearly all cops are good people .
A few bad apples exist , yes , but the very idea that all cops should be condemned just because a few rogue cops are bad people is just as stupid as claiming that all black people are criminals just because some of them commit violent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media says you should never condemn “ an entire race ” of people just because of the actions of a few individuals ?
Yet that ’ s exactly what they do when condemning cops : They blame every person who wear the uniform rather than limiting their blame to the very tiny minority of cops who break the rules or make a mistake .
That just tells you how intellectually dishonest and irrational the entire argument of the radical Left has actually become : They don ’ t believe in logic ; only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hate white people .
They seek to destroy that which they hate , and that ’ s the entire push behind the anti-police movement .
isten to my podcast here .
It ’ s vulgar .
It ’ s provocative .

As part of this divide-and-conquer narrative, they’ve declared war on cops. It’s all part of the chaos plan (see the podcast below) to collapse America’s cities into uncontrolled chaos and lawlessness.
Yet men and women in blue are the only thing standing between us and anarchy.
We would all do well to remember that cops are poorly paid, poorly equipped and yet put their lives at risk every day to try to keep the worst criminal elements of society under control. Now, on top of all that, they are unfairly condemned by society and violently attacked by protesters.
I know a lot of cops. I’ve trained with cops, both on the mat and at the range. And I’m here to tell you nearly all cops are good people. A few bad apples exist, yes, but the very idea that all cops should be condemned just because a few rogue cops are bad people is just as stupid as claiming that all black people are criminals just because some of them commit violent crimes.
Ever notice how the left-wing media says you should never condemn “an entire race” of people just because of the actions of a few individuals? Yet that’s exactly what they do when condemning cops: They blame every person who wear the uniform rather than limiting their blame to the very tiny minority of cops who break the rules or make a mistake.
That just tells you how intellectually dishonest and irrational the entire argument of the radical Left has actually become: They don’t believe in logic; only HATRED. They HATE cops and they hate white people. They seek to destroy that which they hate, and that’s the entire push behind the anti-police movement.
isten to my podcast here. It’s vulgar. It’s provocative. It’s extremely graphic. After hearing this podcast, you will never look at police the same way again:
And here’s my explanation of the “chaos agenda” that’s being deliberately put in play to collapse America and defeat Trump:

15 mind-blowing truths and reminders about the George Floyd riots that annihilate the fake media narratives being pushed to sow chaos in America

Almost everything the lamestream media is reporting about the George Floyd riots — and the context of American culture — is a total lie .
Here are fifteen mind-blowing truths about America , racism , George Floyd and the riots that you won ’ t find admitted in the left-wing media : 1 ) No black person living in America today was ever a slave , and no white person ever owned slaves .
That history is centuries old , but according to the radical Left , people living today are guilty for the sins of their ancestors… but only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not black people like Kamala Harris whose ancestors owned slaves .
According to the radical Left , having dark skin pigmentation releases you from the sins of your forefathers .
Thus , black skin has magical powers… i.e .
“ black privilege.
” 2 ) The first slaves in modern-day America were actually not from Africa at all .
Most of the slaves in ancient Rome were white slaves .
And given that being “ enslaved ” means not owning the fruits of your own labor , the simple truth is that as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we are all slaves today , regardless of our color .
3 ) Every human being alive today can be traced back to Africa .
In essence , we are all Africans .
It also means we all share the same ancestors .
According to anthropology , all humans living today can be traced back to a group of about 4,000 Africans .
Thus , if left-wing extremists are demanding reparations for all people of African descent , that ’ s everybody .
4 ) As Brandon Smith correctly explains at Alt-Market.com @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shred of evidence that George Floyd was killed because he was black .
The media narrative of “ systemic racism ” is a total fabrication .
Police shooting statistics clearly show that police are far more likely to shoot a white person than a black person , even when accounting for the different proportions in population .
Big Tech has gone to great lengths to quite literally censor anyone posting federal crime statistics , since the radical Left hates actual science or real facts .
Instead , they call them “ hate facts.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new term from the insane Left .
Whatever facts they don ’ t like are simply branded “ hate.

Almost everything the lamestream media is reporting about the George Floyd riots — and the context of American culture — is a total lie. Here are fifteen mind-blowing truths about America, racism, George Floyd and the riots that you won’t find admitted in the left-wing media:
1) No black person living in America today was ever a slave, and no white person ever owned slaves. That history is centuries old, but according to the radical Left, people living today are guilty for the sins of their ancestors… but only white people qualify for this guilt, not black people like Kamala Harris whose ancestors owned slaves. According to the radical Left, having dark skin pigmentation releases you from the sins of your forefathers. Thus, black skin has magical powers… i.e. “black privilege.”
2) The first slaves in modern-day America were actually not from Africa at all. Most of the slaves in ancient Rome were white slaves. And given that being “enslaved” means not owning the fruits of your own labor, the simple truth is that as long as the IRS is in existence, we are all slaves today, regardless of our color.
3) Every human being alive today can be traced back to Africa. In essence, we are all Africans. It also means we all share the same ancestors. According to anthropology, all humans living today can be traced back to a group of about 4,000 Africans. Thus, if left-wing extremists are demanding reparations for all people of African descent, that’s everybody.
4) As Brandon Smith correctly explains at Alt-Market.com, there isn’t a single shred of evidence that George Floyd was killed because he was black. The media narrative of “systemic racism” is a total fabrication. Police shooting statistics clearly show that police are far more likely to shoot a white person than a black person, even when accounting for the different proportions in population. Big Tech has gone to great lengths to quite literally censor anyone posting federal crime statistics, since the radical Left hates actual science or real facts. Instead, they call them “hate facts.” Yes, that’s actually a new term from the insane Left. Whatever facts they don’t like are simply branded “hate.”

revolutionradio--2020-06-12--It Only Took 2 Days For Seattle’s “Autonomous Zone” To Descend Into Chaos…

Protesters in Seattle decided that they were going to give us a living , breathing example of how the world should really operate .
The police were completely kicked out of a six block area of downtown Seattle , and armed guards were posted at all the entrances to the “ Capital Hill Autonomous Zone ” in order to make sure that their “ utopia ” would not be interrupted .
At first , people were dancing and singing in the streets , free food was being passed out to everyone , gardens were being started , and free movies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stars .
It was such a glorious beginning for “ CHAZ ” , but within hours major problems began to develop .
The protesters wanted to show everyone how compassionate they could be , and so they invited Seattle ’ s homeless population to share their free food .
Well , it turns out that the homeless people grabbed more of the food than they should have , and that created quite a crisis… Yes , she was being quite serious .
If you live near CHAZ and you have extra “ vegan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soy products , etc.
” laying around , there are some really hungry radicals that would really appreciate the help .
But please don ’ t bring them anything that has been heavily processed because that will just make them angry , and if you try to give them anything that contains real meat that could potentially set off a riot .
In addition to a looming food shortage , residents of CHAZ are also dealing with a leadership crisis .
Now that all the police are gone , it was just a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charge , and the person that has taken charge is a “ heavily-armed ” rapper named Raz Simone… Seattle ’ s new “ autonomous zone ” – a six-block area established by protesters after the police and National Guard pulled out of city ’ s Capitol Hill neighborhood – now has a ‘ heavily-armed ’ warlord , and he ’ s already enforcing his streets .
Soundcloud rapper Raz Simone and his entourage have claimed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone ( CHAZ ) as their territory – and have already been filmed regulating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spraying graffiti over an urban art installation , telling him “ We are the police of this community now !
” Somehow Simone was able to get his hands on an AK-47 , and even though we keep being told that these are “ peaceful protests ” , Simone has told those under his command that what they are facing “ is war ” … Simone , a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip , screamed , “ This is war !
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paramilitaries to guard the barricades in shifts .
Before this stunt , hardly anyone had ever heard of Raz Simone , and I suppose that this is one way to make a name for yourself and sell a lot of records .
At first , Washington Governor Jay Inslee insisted that he didn ’ t even know that activists had taken over a large section of downtown Seattle .
Later on , he changed his tune , and now he is saying that he is hoping for a peaceful resolution .
And hopefully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but for now the protesters appear to be determined to dig in for the long haul .
Needless to say , President Trump is not amused by any of this .
In fact , he is warning that if local officials do not shut down CHAZ , he will do it himself… President Trump issued a demand for Democratic controlled Seattle to be brought back under order immediately , as Antifa anarchists claimed control of a six-block zone and a police station .
“ Radical Left Governor [ of Washington , Jay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before , ” Trump tweeted late on Wednesday .
“ Take back your city NOW .
If you don ’ t do it , I will .
This is not a game .
These ugly Anarchists must be stooped [ sic ] IMMEDIATELY .
MOVE FAST !
’ ” he continued .
It is hard to believe that this is actually happening in America .
But as I keep warning , what we have seen so far is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deteriorate , Americans are just going to get even angrier and even more frustrated .
On Thursday , we learned that another 1.5 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week… About 1.5 million Americans filed first-time applications for unemployment insurance last week , the Labor Department said Thursday .
That pushes the tally of those who have made initial claims – a rough measure of layoffs – over the past 12 weeks to a staggering 44.1 million .
This wasn ’ t supposed to happen .
Once states started reopening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supposed to stop , but instead we continue to see Americans lose their jobs at a pace that is far beyond anything we have ever witnessed in all of U.S. history .
As I keep reminding my readers , the all-time record for a single week prior to this year was just 695,000 .
So until we get below that level , nobody should even think of using the word “ recovery ” to describe what is happening .
The truth is that the U.S. economy continues to fall apart all around us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York Times is admitting that damage has been done “ to millions of interconnections ” throughout our economic system… The fabric of the economy has been ripped , with damage done to millions of interconnections — between workers and employers , companies and their suppliers , borrowers and lenders .
Both the historical evidence from severe economic crises and the data available today point to enormous delayed effects .
“ There ’ s a lot of denial here , as there was in the 1930s , ” said Eric Rauchway , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Davis , who has written extensively about the Great Depression .
“ At the beginning of the Depression , nobody wanted to admit that it was a crisis .
The actions the government took were not adequate to the scope of the problem , yet they were very quick to say there had been a turnaround.
” If you think that the anger that we have experienced so far is something , just wait until you see what is coming in the years ahead .
We have entered a very disturbing new chapter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beginning to spiral out of control .
Tens of millions of Americans have already lost their jobs , and the very generous unemployment bonuses that they have been getting are set to expire at the end of July .
A great deal of economic pain is on the horizon , a long , hot summer awaits us , and this is an election year .
All of that adds up to big trouble , and more major societal turmoil could be sparked at any moment .

Yes, she was being quite serious.
If you live near CHAZ and you have extra “vegan meat substitutes, fruits, oats, soy products, etc.” laying around, there are some really hungry radicals that would really appreciate the help.
But please don’t bring them anything that has been heavily processed because that will just make them angry, and if you try to give them anything that contains real meat that could potentially set off a riot.
In addition to a looming food shortage, residents of CHAZ are also dealing with a leadership crisis. Now that all the police are gone, it was just a matter of time before someone else took charge, and the person that has taken charge is a “heavily-armed” rapper named Raz Simone…

Simone, a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, “This is war!” into a white-and-red megaphone and instructed armed paramilitaries to guard the barricades in shifts.
Before this stunt, hardly anyone had ever heard of Raz Simone, and I suppose that this is one way to make a name for yourself and sell a lot of records.

And hopefully that is precisely what we will see, but for now the protesters appear to be determined to dig in for the long haul.
