From the New York Times news section:
Disinformation in the 2020 Presidential Election: Latest Updates
The Truth About ‘The Truth About’ Memes Sept. 24, 2020, 5:04 p.m. ET1 hour ago
By Kevin Roose This week, protests erupted around the nation after a Louisville grand jury did not charge any police officers in the killing of Breonna Taylor. And on social media, false and exaggerated claims about Ms. Taylor began recirculating, using a years-old format that was popularized years ago by far-right YouTube personalities. … This playbook is not new. Years ago, Stefan Molyneux, a right-wing podcaster and YouTube personality, got millions of views with a series of videos claiming to tell “the truth about” various prominent news stories, including the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed Black man whose killing by police in Ferguson, Mo., set off the original Black Lives Matter protests.
Michael Brown was unarmed only because he didn’t quite manage to steal the policeman’s gun.
The “Truth About” format, which promised a kind of secret knowledge to viewers, was appealing to those who distrusted the mainstream media and wanted to hear an alternative explanation for police violence.
In other words, it appealed to bad people.
And it was ultimately mimicked by other right-wing influencers, including the far-right conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson, whose videos include “The Truth About Black Lives Matter,” “The Truth About Oprah” and “The Truth About Modern Art.”
How dare somebody question Black Lives Matter, Oprah, or Modern Art?
Most “Truth About” treatments of police killings follow a standard format. In each case, an influencer calls into question the mainstream media’s framing of the episode, and barrages the audience with details about the victims’ pasts and the circumstances of their deaths in an attempt to prove that, while they may not have deserved to die, they were far from innocent. … Like Mr. Molyneux’s videos half a decade ago, the “Truth About Breonna Taylor” content going viral on social media this week contains a mixture of truths, half-truths, exaggerations, red herrings and outright falsehoods. … Mr. Tatum also claims that Ms. Taylor was “knee deep in criminal/drug dealing activities” with her ex-boyfriend. This claim is exaggerated at best. Ms. Taylor’s ex-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, was a convicted drug dealer and had been in and out of jail during the four years that they dated, but it’s unclear if Ms. Taylor was involved in his criminal activity. In 2016, she was interrogated alongside him by police officers after she rented a car, lent it to Mr. Glover and he in turn handed the keys to another suspected drug dealer, who was found dead in the car hours later.
Don’t you just hate when that happens to you? Who hasn’t rented a car that winds up with a dead body in the trunk? It’s so annoying when the cops ask a lot of impertinent questions.
But police then concluded that Ms. Taylor had no foreknowledge of how the rental car would be used, and she had no criminal convictions of her own.
Also, Angela Davis was completely innocent when the shotgun she bought earlier in the week was used by her boyfriend’s 17-year-old brother to kidnap a judge and blow his head off. What? Are we supposed to not honor, respect, and pay lots of money to hear the speeches of Dr. Davis just because of a decapitated judge?
But the right-wing misinformation is more ambitious, in that it seeks to reframe the Black Lives Matter movement entirely, drawing attention away from police officers’ actions and onto the personal lives of Ms. Taylor and other victims of police shootings. In this, it is similar to Mr. Molyneux’s videos, which sought to justify the killings of unarmed Black men by painting them as criminals whose actions played a role in their own deaths.
They are Black, people! That means they have no responsibility for their crimes.
“This is a case that comes down to personal responsibility,” Ms. Owens said of Ms. Taylor’s killing, in a video posted Wednesday that got more than a million views on Facebook.

A Black man is set to be executed by the federal government Thursday for a crime he committed at age 19, even though his attorney said prosecutors used inflammatory racial stereotypes during the trial 20 years ago to land her client on death row.
The man, Christopher Vialva, 40, is scheduled to be executed Thursday evening at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. He would be the first Black inmate put to death since the Trump administration’s revival of federal executions this year.
Vialva was sentenced to death in the 1999 killing in Texas of Todd and Stacie Bagley, a white couple who were youth ministers. There were 11 white jurors and one Black juror in the 2000 federal trial, said Vialva’s attorney, Susan Otto.
Prosecutors portrayed Vialva “as if he were the leader of a violent and well-organized street gang,” Otto said.
“Of course, in the year 2000, the theme of the super predator, that there were these kids that just marauded through our communities wreaking havoc, was a very powerful and very convincing narrative,” she said.
Otto said there was no evidence that Vialva was a leader or a real member of the so-called 212 PIRU Bloods gang. She said that he and his friends encountered the couple after Vialva was kicked out of his mother’s home and that, having nowhere to go, the group made a plan to rob someone.
“This is a product of a person, a child, with very disorganized thinking, in a full-on panic, surrounded by a bunch of other kids whose ideas are just as bad as his,” she said.
Otto said it was a very convincing narrative to frame to the jury that Vialva and Brandon Bernard, his co-defendant, who is also Black, were part of a violent gang. Bernard was also sentenced to death; his execution date has not been set, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. …
More than 46 percent of the 56 inmates on federal death row are Black. Black people make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population. …
According to the Justice Department, Todd and Stacie Bagley were killed in Fort Hood, Texas, in 1999 after having agreed to give Vialva and two of his friends a ride in their car.
Vialva pulled out a gun and forced the couple into the trunk, and the group of teenagers drove around for a few hours, stopping to try to withdraw money from the Bagleys’ bank account and to pawn Stacie Bagley’s ring, according to the Justice Department. Vialva eventually parked at the site of the Fort Hood military reservation and shot the couple while another man set the car on fire, according to the Justice Department.

Like Wikipedia , the New York Times keeps a list of COVID fatalities in its continuing “ Those We ’ ve Lost ” feature .

vdare--2020-09-28--Getting Away With Murder: Angela Davis vs. O.J. Simpson

Earlier : Congratulations to Dr. Angela Davis on the 50th Anniversary of Her Getting Away with Murder Angela Davis and O.J .
Simpson are two of the most famous people in America to have been tried for murder and acquitted .
Here ’ s a question : 50 years after Judge Harold Haley had his head blown off by a shotgun purchased by Dr. Angela Davis two days before , is there even a theory explaining how Davis could not have committed felony murder ?
Of course , in the opinion of the jury , the prosecution failed to prove @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasonable doubt , just as the jury felt that the prosecution failed to prove Simpson was a murderer beyond a reasonable doubt .

.@common on Angela Davis: “As a political leader, she was attacked, hunted and imprisoned; she dared to stand against a racist system. She’s seen and witnessed it all, and she continues to inspire, educate and resist oppression” #TIME100 https://t.co/2nnzW0eMDu — TIME (@TIME) September 23, 2020
Angela Davis and O.J. Simpson are two of the most famous people in America to have been tried for murder and acquitted.
Here’s a question: 50 years after Judge Harold Haley had his head blown off by a shotgun purchased by Dr. Angela Davis two days before, is there even a theory explaining how Davis could not have committed felony murder?
Of course, in the opinion of the jury, the prosecution failed to prove Davis was involved in murder beyond a reasonable doubt, just as the jury felt that the prosecution failed to prove Simpson was a murderer beyond a reasonable doubt.
But … I at least hear clever theories excusing OJ from his supporters, but not from Angela Davis’s many fans, who tend to be better placed in the media.
There aren’t any plausible theories for OJ’s innocence, but at least a few new ones have been generated, like he was taking the rap for a loved one.
For Angela Davis, I haven’t heard any theories rationalizing how the murder weapon she bought 2 days earlier got into the hands of her imprisoned boyfriend’s 17-year-old brother without her being culpable.
Sure, you or I could say that young Jonathan Jackson stole the murder weapon from Davis, but, as far as I know, she has never said the younger Jackson was a thief. Instead, she seems to want him remembered as a martyr to international communism’s struggle with white supremacy or whatever.
Or you could argue that somebody else was the brains behind the operation and Davis, who was a student of Herbert Marcuse and earned a Ph.D. in philosophy at a famous East German university in Berlin, was just a dupe, a dimwitted patsy outsmarted by, say, a 17 year old.
I mean, say what you want about the tenets of this contention, but at least it’s a theory.
In contrast, Angela Davis’ many admirers in the media and academia never seem to use their positions of influence to advance alternative theories about what really happened in August 1970. Instead, the whole topic of the judge’s head being blown off with Dr. Davis’s shotgun just … never … comes up. It would be … unseemly to mention the decapitated judge, so the media just ignores the whole thing as if it never happened.

In their introduction to their edition of Democracy in America (copyright 2000, originally written in 1835), prominent neoconservative intellectual Harvey C. Mansfield and his late wife Delba Winthrop observed that Alexis de Tocqueville's predictive powers were "uncanny."
With one exception: race.
If de Tocqueville really thought blacks and whites could never live together in harmony, he was wrong, they wrote.
Well, it's time to slide that bead over to the "win" column, too.
If 2020 has a race relations lesson, it’s that the number of years out from the end of slavery means nothing. Or the numbers of years out from a black president. Or Civil Rights. Or Affirmative Action.
Or Martin Luther King Day.
You get the picture. To adapt the famous Rodney King quote, blacks and whites just can’t “all get along.”
The riots, the rise of Antifa and BLM, the increasing murder of whites-as-whites and police officers—it all came as a shock to those white Americans who could have sworn the whole race thing was taken care of.
But 2020 would not have surprised de Tocqueville. The Norman-descended Frenchman is, of course, legendary for the elegance and perceptiveness of his writing. He's claimed by both Right and Left (with some justification on either side).
His writings on race in Democracy in America are fascinating, though you wonder how often they're assigned to college students. Your typical college student today would need a long convalescence in a safe space after reading them.
De Tocqueville:
thought slavery was an abomination
thought Indians were poorly treated by whites
thought races (white, black and Indian) were radically and inherently different
thought blacks and whites couldn’t live together
thought that when starkly different races occupy the same space, you either have 1) one killing the other off or 2) one totally subjugating the other. There is no middle ground. Intermediate measures are doomed to fail.
You might say that America's entire approach for the past 200 years has consisted of "intermediate measures."
Race hits the visitor to America in the face, de Tocqueville reports:
The men spread over this space do not form, as in Europe, so many offshoots of the same family. From the first one finds in them three naturally distinct and, I could almost say, inimical races.
Almost 200 years later, little has changed. East New York and Gerritsen Beach remain "naturally distinct" and "inimical."
Brace yourself for de Tocqueville’s take on a black man:
His countenance appears hideous to us, his intelligence seems limited to us, his tastes are base; we very nearly take him for a being intermediate between brute and man.
De Tocqueville made the point that slavery wasn't the point. In ancient times, where a Greek was the slave of a Roman, the mere unshackling of the slave meant instant equality. The unshackled Greek could saunter into the marketplace and nobody would turn their head.
Sometimes, Greeks were the better sorts:
Among the ancients, the slave belonged to the same race as his master, and often he was superior to him in education and enlightenment.
Similarly, whether blacks in America were free or slave was of only slight importance. Said de Tocqueville:
If inequality created solely by the law is so difficult to uproot, how does one destroy that which seems, in addition, to have its immutable foundations in nature itself?
On the total impossibility of equality, de Tocqueville:
"The Negro makes a thousand useless efforts to introduce himself into a society that repels him; he bows to the tastes of his oppressors, adopts their opinions, and in imitating them aspires to intermingle with them."
The distance between the races is "impassable space."
"Those who hope that the Europeans will one day intermingle with Negroes therefore appear to me to cherish a chimera."
"I do not think that the white race and the black race will come to live on a footing of equality anywhere."
"Until now, everywhere that whites have been most powerful, they have held Negroes in degradation or slavery. Everywhere that Negroes have been strongest, they have destroyed whites; this is the only account that has ever been opened between the two races."
"Intermediate measures appear to me to lead directly to the most horrible of all civil wars, and perhaps to the ruin of one of the two races."
Black slavery may well have been the biggest mistake white Europeans ever made.
From the moment that the Europeans took their slaves from within a race of men different from theirs, which many of them considered inferior to the other human races, and to which all viewed with horror the idea of ever assimilating, they supposed slavery eternal; for, between the extreme inequality that servitude creates and the complete equality that independence naturally produces among men, there is no lasting intermediate state.
De Tocqueville offered no solution, but did mention the Liberian repatriation efforts.
And, needless to say, he has been proven dead right.
My conclusion is that only racial separation—what American Renaissance’s Jared Taylor is reportedly calling “The S-Word”—carries hope for the future. The reckoning might be painful, but it must be had. Everything else is a lie.
Separation need not involve violence or unfairness, as many might imagine it would. You might be surprised how open black folks are to the idea. It might end up being whites who need the most convincing.
And Mel Gibson-astride-his-horse fantasies aside, you might even succeed in making separation the boring stuff of commissions, government forms, long-winded meetings, and snooze-inducing bureaucracy. At which point you know you're in business.

Yes, Virginia (Dare), It’s A Conspiracy: Antifa Thugs Arrested In Louisville Also Attacked 2017 Charlottesville Rally. Did Soros Pay Them? Where Is FBI?

Recently , I pointed out that the Antifa groups that attacked the 2017 Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville VA were also key to this summer ’ s BLM riots .
Now arrests during the current Breonna Taylor riots in Louisville KY have proved my point : notably Sean Gerwing Liter and his girlfriend Holly McGlawn-Zoller—who was notoriously caught In a video clip unloading a U-Haul filled with riot supplies [ U-Haul Seen Distributing Shields , Potential Weapons to Louisville Rioters Rented to Holly Zoller of Soros-Connected Louisville Bail Project , by Cassandra Fairbanks , Gateway Pundit , September 23 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ camera leading the charge in Charlottesville three years ago .
Had our rulers done their duty , defended UTR ’ s civil rights and cracked down on these Communist vigilantes , America would now be a very different country .
Holly McGlawn-Zoller and Sean Gerwing Liter are both co-founders of Louisville Anti-Racist Action , an integral part of the Antifa Torch Network , explicitly known for being “ militant ” ( Louisville Antifa : Inside Two Of The City ’ s Most Militant Activist Groups , by Danielle Grady , LEO Weekly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is no surprise that Zoller and Liter are involved in the Louisville riots that followed a grand jury indictment against a single police officer over the death of Breonna Taylor .

At the 50 second mark in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is being thrown at the head of a Louisville police officer .
Liter was arrested on multiple charges stemming from the recent riots in Louisville .
According to Jefferson County court records , he was arraigned on charges of obstructing a highway , disorderly conduct , unlawful assembly , and driving a vehicle with an obstructed windshield .
It is still unconfirmed whether the charges stem from activities with the U-Haul , although Zoller ’ s name was on the rental agreement .
Zoller ’ s rental agreement was also conceded by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morally-dubious Leftist nonprofit organization for which she works ( Fact-checking disinformation about Louisville , a U-Haul and George Soros , by Daniel Funke , Politifact , September 24 , 2020 .

Allegedly leaked internal communications from within U-Haul claim that the U-Haul used during the Louisville riots was detained by law enforcement , although that has yet to be confirmed ( EXCLUSIVE : Louisville Riot U-Haul Driver Arrested According to Leaked Internal Documents , by Cassandra Fairbanks , Gateway Pundit , September 27 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state records , the secondary contact for the vehicle , Keirreanna Munoz , was arrested for assaulting a police officer , disorderly conduct , obstructing a highway , and unlawful assembly .
Munoz ’ s Facebook profile shows an affinity with South American socialist revolutionaries , as well as with Breonna Taylor .
When asked about the arrests of Liter , Munoz , and Zoller , a representative for the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department told us that all three were arrested on either September 23 or September 24 .
BREAKING : Louisville police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zoller has been charged with “ Failure to Disperse and Riot in the Second Degree.
” Corey Lemley of Nashville Anti-Racist Action , another arm of the Antifa Torch Network , was also in attendance at the Charlottesville event , where he used an Antifa-themed baseball bat during a mob assault on a reporter .
In Louisville , Lemley was spotted pointing rioters towards Zoller ’ s U-Haul ( Antifa activist : ‘ Riots , uprisings keep the system in check ’ , by Ben Hall , News Channel 5 Nashville , June @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a history of promoting violence .

” The first person named @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweet cited in the two articles is Dolores Canales , who was a Soros fellow in 2014 for another criminal justice-related organization .
Her biography on The Bail Project website explicitly mentions she was a former—but not a current -- Soros fellow .
The second person , Deborah LaBelle is a Soros fellow but doesn ’ t work for The Bail Project .
She simply shares a page on the Detroit Justice Center with a woman named Megan Dieboll , who does work at The Bail Project .
The Bail Project has 93 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ current or former Soros Fellows would not be definitive proof that The Bail Project itself is “ Soros funded.
” ( But it does mean something—no Soros Fellows work for VDARE.com ) .
However , one of the primary organizations providing material support to Leftists protesters at Unite the Right is Refuse Fascism co-founded by Black American Affirmative Action Princeling Cornel West and Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party .
Refuse Fascism is not its own nonprofit .
It receives fiscal sponsorship from Alliance for Global Justice—which is indeed a Soros-funded group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the evening before the UTR rally , West gave a violent speech to “ counter-protest ” groups ( including Antifa ) at St Paul ’ s Church in Charlottesville .
He said , “ We have to take a stand !

The next day , August 12 , Refuse Fascism handed out supplies such as picket signs reading , “ NO !

This exemplified the Leftist concept of “ Diversity of Tactics ” —a mixture of violence and nonviolence .
Leftists like Holly Zoller even carried the Refuse Fascism picket sign/ club marching into battle against the legally-permitted UTR rally ( see pic below ) .
After organizing in the parking lots of the “ Congregate Cville ” churches , Refuse Fascism demonstrators blocked Market Street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the picket signs .
So this is the real Soros to Antifa pipeline : The financing is generally never so simple as a billionaire directly paying for a U-Haul .
It ’ s more like a series of fiscal contributions passed between shell corporations that ultimately end up as “ picket signs ” a.k.a .
clubs and bail funds in the hands of violent rioters .
Far more direct , and far more sinister , is the funding of the campaigns of Leftist prosecutors who continue to release the rioters without any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the 2018 midterms .
( Conspiracy FACT : Soros-funded prosecutors let rioters go but declare not agreeing with Black Lives Matter to be a ‘ hate crime ’ , by Nebojsa Malic , RT , July 9 , 2020 ) T That ’ s also why we ’ ve seen the politically motivated prosecutions of conservatives like Jake Gardner and the McCloskeys who were forced to defend themselves against the Black Lives Matter mobs .

Antifa unloading a U-Haul full of riot supplies, including shields and weapons
Recently, I pointed out that the Antifa groups that attacked the 2017 Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville VA were also key to this summer’s BLM riots. Now arrests during the current Breonna Taylor riots in Louisville KY have proved my point: notably Sean Gerwing Liter and his girlfriend Holly McGlawn-Zoller—who was notoriously caught in a video clip unloading a U-Haul filled with riot supplies [U-Haul Seen Distributing Shields, Potential Weapons to Louisville Rioters Rented to Holly Zoller of Soros-Connected Louisville Bail Project, by Cassandra Fairbanks, Gateway Pundit, September 23, 2020]—were also caught on camera leading the charge in Charlottesville three years ago. Had our rulers done their duty, defended UTR’s civil rights and cracked down on these Communist vigilantes, America would now be a very different country.
Holly McGlawn-Zoller and Sean Gerwing Liter are both co-founders of Louisville Anti-Racist Action, an integral part of the Antifa Torch Network, explicitly known for being “militant” [Louisville Antifa: Inside Two Of The City’s Most Militant Activist Groups, by Danielle Grady, LEO Weekly, February 19, 2020].
Therefore, it is no surprise that Zoller and Liter are involved in the Louisville riots that followed a grand jury indictment against a single police officer over the death of Breonna Taylor [Violence erupts in Louisville after only 1 cop indicted in Breonna Taylor case, by Noah Goldberg, Leonard Greene and Nancy Dillon, New York Daily News, September 3, 2020].

Liter was arrested on multiple charges stemming from the recent riots in Louisville. According to Jefferson County court records, he was arraigned on charges of obstructing a highway, disorderly conduct, unlawful assembly, and driving a vehicle with an obstructed windshield.
It is still unconfirmed whether the charges stem from activities with the U-Haul, although Zoller’s name was on the rental agreement.
Zoller’s rental agreement was also conceded by a spokesperson for The Bail Project, the morally dubious Leftist nonprofit organization for which she works [Fact-checking disinformation about Louisville, a U-Haul and George Soros, by Daniel Funke, Politifact, September 24, 2020]. (Ignore Leftist spin, see below).
Allegedly leaked internal communications from within U-Haul claim that the U-Haul used during the Louisville riots was detained by law enforcement, although that has yet to be confirmed [EXCLUSIVE: Louisville Riot U-Haul Driver Arrested According to Leaked Internal Documents, by Cassandra Fairbanks, Gateway Pundit, September 27, 2020]. Additionally, according to Kentucky state records, the secondary contact for the vehicle, Keirreanna Munoz, was arrested for assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct, obstructing a highway, and unlawful assembly.
Munoz’s Facebook profile shows an affinity with South American socialist revolutionaries, as well as with Breonna Taylor.
When asked about the arrests of Liter, Munoz, and Zoller, a representative for the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department told us that all three were arrested on either September 23 or September 24.
BREAKING: Louisville police have confirmed to us by email that Zoller has been charged with “Failure to Disperse and Riot in the Second Degree.”
Corey Lemley of Nashville Anti-Racist Action, another arm of the Antifa Torch Network, was also in attendance at the Charlottesville event, where he used an Antifa-themed baseball bat during a mob assault on a reporter.

In Louisville, Lemley was spotted pointing rioters towards Zoller’s U-Haul [Antifa activist: ‘Riots, uprisings keep the system in check’, by Ben Hall, News Channel 5 Nashville, June 8, 2020].
Background
Liter and Zoller have a history of promoting violence. At the 2017 Charlottesville event, they brought weapons including mace and a handgun (despite it being against policy to carry firearms on the University of Virginia campus ) .
Zoller was wearing a similar handgun on her hip while handing out riot supplies from the U-Haul in Louisville:
On August 12, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia, Zoller and Liter came downtown armed with weapons such as sticks and baseball bats as part of the premeditated plan to violently disrupt the Unite the Right rally.
Liter (pictured at front with club) later used his weapons during attacks on demonstrators inside the permitted area.

Allegations of Funding by Billionaires Like George Soros
Zoller’s current employer, The Bail Project, pays for the release of various criminal defendants ranging from rapists to would-be murders and Black Lives Matter rioters.
As exposed recently on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” The Bail Project’s primary funder is former hedge fund manager and cryptocurrency trader Michael Novogratz.
He’s also The Bail Project’s board chairman. Other funders include Woke elitists like Richard Branson, Jack Dorsey, Danny Glover, Rihanna, and John Legend [The Rich People Who Rent U-Hauls For Riots In Louisville Where Cops Get Shot, by Charles Faddis, ANDmagazine, September 24, 2020].
According to CNN, The Bail Project has also been the recipient of up to $1 million dollars in federal subsidies during the COVID crisis. [CNN Politics]
Rumors swirled around the internet that the Antifa and their U-Haul were funded by Leftist billionaire financier George Soros. Several news outlets including Washington Sentinel [U-Haul Seen Packed with Weapons Was Traced to George Soros Group, September 25, 2020] and BizPacReview [U-Haul that supplied riot gear to Louisville protesters reportedly rented by Soros-connected bail project, September 24, 2020] made claims to the effect the Bail Project was “partially funded by George Soros” because, according to BizPaC Review’s Samantha Chang, “Two members of the Bail Project are Soros Justice Fellows, an activist group funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros.”

The first person named as the Soros tie in the viral tweet cited in the two articles is Dolores Canales, who was a Soros fellow in 2014 for another criminal justice–related organization. Her biography on The Bail Project website explicitly mentions she was a former—but not a current--Soros fellow. The second person, Deborah LaBelle, is a Soros fellow but doesn’t work for The Bail Project. She simply shares a page on the Detroit Justice Center with a woman named Megan Dieboll, who does work at The Bail Project.
The Bail Project has 93 team members, and two of them being current or former Soros Fellows would not be definitive proof that The Bail Project itself is “Soros funded.” (But it does mean something—no Soros Fellows work for VDARE.com.)
Holly Zoller and ACTUAL Soros Funding in Charlottesville
However, one of the primary organizations providing material support to Leftists protesters at Unite the Right is Refuse Fascism, co-founded by Black American Affirmative Action Princeling Cornel West and Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Refuse Fascism is not its own nonprofit. It receives fiscal sponsorship from Alliance for Global Justice—which is indeed a Soros-funded group.
In Charlottesville on August 11, 2017, the evening before the UTR rally, West gave a violent speech to “counter-protest” groups (including Antifa) at St Paul’s Church in Charlottesville. He said, “We have to take a stand! That’s why some of us came to fight and get arrested if necessary.” [Emphasis added].
Watch the latest video at bitchute.com
The next day, August 12, Refuse Fascism handed out supplies such as picket signs reading, “NO! In the name of humanity WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA”.
Many individuals with the Antifa Torch Network marched with either Dix and his Revolutionary Communist Party or Cornel West and “Congregate Cville,” a group of Leftist clergy.
This exemplifies the Leftist concept of “Diversity of Tactics”—a mixture of violence and nonviolence.
Leftists like Holly Zoller even carried the Refuse Fascism picket sign / club marching into battle against the legally permitted UTR rally (see pic below).
After organizing in the parking lots of the “Congregate Cville” churches, Refuse Fascism demonstrators blocked Market Street outside the permitted demonstration and beat demonstrators with the picket signs.
Watch the latest video at bitchute.com
So this is the real Soros to Antifa pipeline:
George Soros -> Open Society Foundation/Tides Foundation -> Alliance for Global Justice > Cornel West/ Refuse Fascism -> Antifa Torch Network.
The financing is generally never so simple as a billionaire directly paying for a U-Haul. It’s more like a series of fiscal contributions passed between shell corporations that ultimately end up as “picket signs” a.k.a. clubs and bail funds in the hands of violent rioters.
Far more direct, and far more sinister, is the funding of the campaigns of Leftist prosecutors who continue to release the rioters without any serious charges. Soros did just that during the 2018 midterms [Conspiracy FACT: Soros-funded prosecutors let rioters go but declare not agreeing with Black Lives Matter to be a ‘hate crime,’ by Nebojsa Malic, RT, July 9, 2020].
That’s also why we’ve seen the politically motivated prosecutions of conservatives like Jake Gardner and the McCloskeys who were forced to defend themselves against the Black Lives Matter mobs.
Americans face a violent interstate Communist conspiracy. Where is the FBI?

This summer’s Rye Day celebration in Syracuse, New York, almost ended — as it had the past 14 years — without a hitch. The event, a public birthday party hosted by a local business owner and philanthropist, drew hundreds of residents to an outdoor performance space on June 20 on the city’s Near West Side, where they ate and drank, registered to vote, and escaped the various pressures of the pandemic.

vdare--2020-09-29--FBI: Blacks Made Up 55.9% of Known Murder Offenders in 2019

The FBI has released its national crime stats for 2019 .
Murder was down 0.2 % .
While blacks made up 52.5 % of known murder offenders from 1980-2008 , their percentage continues to inch upwards , reaching 55.9 % in 2019 : That means blacks were 8.2 times per capita as likely as a nonblack to be a known murder offender in 2019 .
( Due to continuing problems with how government agencies collect crime statistics , I ’ ve given up on figuring out rates for normal categories like non-Hispanic whites .
But the big story with murders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do . )
In the Black Lives Matter era , murder is becoming a black problem as it slowly fades out for the rest of the populace .
My opinion is that this incredible disparity in murder rates offers us a clue to the question wracking America in 2020 : why do the police hassle black men so much ?
But nobody else ever mentions that blacks , at 13.4 % of the population , make up now well over 50 % of murder offenders .
( In contrast , blacks wind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ killings . )
So I guess the answer must be invisible Systemic Racism or something .
If you don ’ t believe my calculations , here ’ s a screenshot :
