Mainstream Media, Liberal Establishment Instantly Snaps Back to Social Distancing Scolding After Completely Ignoring Protests
It’s embarrassing enough for the mainstream media that it’s conveniently forgotten every fearmongering claim directed against Americans deciding to break away from the practice of social distancing the second the George Floyd race riots surfaced, disregarding their own demands on the restrictions of mass gatherings in support of a progressive protest movement.

The news conference was initially set up for social distancing. Then the WH rearranged the chairs. Before and after pics from our @abdallahcnn pic.twitter.com/jxKAneAZsy — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) June 5, 2020
Acosta, and the rest of the mainstream media, seems to have largely forgotten about social distancing concerns as rioters, looters and protestors congregate in large formations that range in the thousands. Obviously such a mass gathering is an acute coronavirus transmission threat, but the media doesn’t care if the riots can be weaponized against Trump.
A Twitter search of Acosta’s mention of social distancing doesn’t bring up a single instance of the fanatic liberal operative mentioning that the Floyd protestors are flagrantly violating.
In a remarkable display of callous hypocrisy, it seems Acosta has even scolded the anti-lockdown protestors for failing to abide by social distancing. In most instances, the anti-lockdown protestors gathered in groups that were considerably smaller than the rioters and protestors, and plenty of anti-lockdown protests did include social distancing measures.
Trump again gaslighting on protests saying the demonstrators are practicing social distancing. They aren’t. — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) April 21, 2020
Other establishment liberals have openly touted their hypocrisy in allowing the Floyd mass gatherings to continue while restricting other less crowded forms of gatherings to occur, such as religious services. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed that ‘400 years of racism’ was grounds for Floyd protestors to flat-out ignore social distancing guidelines.
Johns Hopkins epidemiologist Jennifer Nuzzo is another nominal ‘expert’ flagrantly disregarding any notion of her own credibility, claiming that the risk of “systematic racism” exceeded the threat of the virus, and thus justified the dangerous gatherings.
We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus. In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus. https://t.co/s9DagyjQ1J — Jennifer Nuzzo, DrPH (@JenniferNuzzo) June 2, 2020

The murder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ killed by blacks at a extremely disproportional rate .
In a survey conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics , they found that there were a stunning 593,598 instances of documented interracial violent incidents last year , counting black-on-white instances as well as white-on-black instances .
The findings are absolutely stunning .
Blacks committed an incredible 537,204 instances of interracial violent attacks against white people , accounting for 90 percent of the violence .
White people only committed 56,394 attacks against black people over the same time period .
Considering how many more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than blacks , these numbers are staggering .
In addition , data from the Justice Department recorded from 2017 indicates that black people are over-represented when it comes to hate crimes as well while white people are under-represented by 24 percent .

“ In the last few days , we started rolling out a new feature powered by AI that notifies people when their comment may be considered offensive before it ’ s posted , ” wrote Adam Mosseri , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a blog .
They hope that this new feature will compel individuals to self-censor any comments that may be considered inappropriate or harmful by the thought controllers .
“ This intervention gives people a chance to reflect and undo their comment and prevents the recipient from receiving the harmful comment notification , ” he added .
A prompt comes up with the following question when any wrong-think is identified : “ Are you sure you want to post this ?
” The user is then able to undo the comment with something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from there .
This conditioning mechanism is meant to rewire the behavior of dissidents toward the desires of the multinational truth commission .
Instagram is also creating a “ Restrict ” feature that will allow an individual to post on another person ’ s profile , but their posts can only be seen by themselves .
“ We wanted to create a feature that allows people to control their Instagram experience , without notifying someone who may be targeting them .
Soon , we will begin testing a new way to protect your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Mosseri wrote .
“ Once you Restrict someone , comments on your posts from that person will only be visible to that person .

Despite the facts, a race hoax industry has emerged to depict whites as being the perpetrators in the majority of these incidents when that is the opposite of the truth.
Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, has committed to enacting censorship against any information arbitrarily deemed to be “bullying” on their platform:
Instagram, the popular social media platform owned by Facebook, unveiled their new Orwellian policies yesterday that will use AI to censor content in real time. “In the last few days, we started rolling out a new feature powered by AI that notifies people when their comment may be considered offensive before it’s posted,” wrote Adam Mosseri, who works as the Head of Instagram, in a blog. They hope that this new feature will compel individuals to self-censor any comments that may be considered inappropriate or harmful by the thought controllers. “This intervention gives people a chance to reflect and undo their comment and prevents the recipient from receiving the harmful comment notification,” he added. A prompt comes up with the following question when any wrong-think is identified: “Are you sure you want to post this?” The user is then able to undo the comment with something that is more palatable for the censors from there. This conditioning mechanism is meant to rewire the behavior of dissidents toward the desires of the multinational truth commission. Instagram is also creating a “Restrict” feature that will allow an individual to post on another person’s profile, but their posts can only be seen by themselves. “We wanted to create a feature that allows people to control their Instagram experience, without notifying someone who may be targeting them. Soon, we will begin testing a new way to protect your account from unwanted interactions called Restrict,” Mosseri wrote. “Once you Restrict someone, comments on your posts from that person will only be visible to that person. You can choose to make a restricted person’s comments visible to others by approving their comments,” he added.
The Silicon Valley titans are at war against the truth. They want the left-wing mob to loot, riot and destroy without the public ever understanding what’s really going on.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-06-08--Veto-Proof Majority of Minneapolis City Councillors Commit to Disbanding Police Department

A veto-proof majority of nine Minneapolis City Councillors appear to have endorsed the full abolition of the Minneapolis Police Department , making it likely that the city will soon proceed with a radical social experiment in which a major American city will go without law enforcement .
Jeremiah Ellison , a Minneapolis City Councillor and the son of left-wing pro-ANTIFA Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison , was among the first of the city councilors to stand behind the full abolition of the city police department .
Lisa Bender , the President of the City Council , followed shortly after , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Appeal reported that nine members of the city council signed onto a pledge that endorses the disbanding of the police department on Sunday .

Jeremiah Ellison, a Minneapolis City Councillor and the son of left-wing pro-ANTIFA Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, was among the first of the city councilors to stand behind the full abolition of the city police department. Lisa Bender, the President of the City Council, followed shortly after, moving the proposal towards political reality.
The Appeal reported that nine members of the city council signed onto a pledge that endorses the disbanding of the police department on Sunday. The amount of councilors who have signed will place the initiative beyond the possibility of a mayor’s veto.
Bender stated on Sunday that the council’s plan to abolish the police department will “end policing as we know it, and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe.” It’s still unclear exactly what the Minneapolis Council’s replacement for the existing law enforcement system will look like, and the possibilities range from little more than a PR-friendly rebrand of the Minneapolis Police Department to an unprecedented social experiment in which de facto militias will step in the void of previous civilian law enforcement.
Progressive Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey was forced to depart from an anti-police protest in a literal walk of shame on Saturday, being aggressively jeered and booed after he refused to commit to the disbanding of the police department. Frey attempted to deflect away from the issue with vague progressive platitudes, but when a protest organizer demanded that he answer the question, he was viciously booed and quite literally exiled from the protest event.
Frey is also hoping to receive more than $55 million in bailout funds from the federal government in order to repair the damages inflicted upon the city through the race riots he failed to contain as mayor. The abolition of the police department all but assures that his request will be flatly denied, as the possibility of the city being ransacked by rioters and looters in the future after the police department is abolished is considerably more likely.
The social experiment will ultimately place the left’s vision of a police-free society to the test.

He believes it’s something that the City Council will probably want to weigh in on.”
Jennifer Scripps, director of the Office of Arts and Culture, recognized “that there is going to be work ahead on re-evaluating this piece” as one of the premier monuments of public art in Dallas.
Texas artist Waldine Amanda Tauch sculpted the 12-foot-tall bronze statue.
When he was contacted, Swanson stated, “I’m not for silencing or abolishing pieces of history. I am for explaining them and giving them context. In this case, this statue has a very rich and problematic backstory.”
He said it portrays Captain Jay Banks, who was “the Ranger in charge when then-Texas Gov. Allan Shivers sent the Rangers to block integration of a high school in Mansfield and a community college in Texarkana in 1957,” despite court rulings that should have barred Shivers from maintaining pro-segregation policies.
“Banks became sort of the face for that,” Swanson commented, “because there’s a famous picture of him leaning against a tree in front of Mansfield high school while a black figure hangs in effigy above the school, with Banks making no effort to take it down. And Banks sided with the mobs who were there to keep the black kids out. So, he was the face of that and of a statue that welcomes people to Dallas.”
The Left is not playing games. Their political correctness is on a whole different level and they’re ready to destroy American history.
Confederate monuments are only the beginning. Once the iconoclastic Left knocks the down “racist” confederate monuments, they’ll be going after every other American historical figure who doesn’t alive with their worldview.
Conservatives must wake up to this.

Islamic State Calls Coronavirus, Race Riot Chaos a “Blessing”
The once-powerful terrorist caliphate of ISIS is celebrating the chaos that the coronavirus pandemic and American race riots have inflicted upon the United States and western societies, calling the destabilizing events a “blessing.”
Terrorism research organization SITE Intelligence published the terrorist organization’s remarks on the events this week. ISIS published a message reacting to the events in its weekly newsletter al-Nabaa, a publication that has continued to permeate obscure corners of the internet well after the terrorist organization has lost its territorial holdings in Iraq and Syria.
“Today the news of the protests in America overshadows the news of the epidemic that gained hegemony over all the other events of the world for months, and the disbelieving governments are repeating their old mistake in reception of the matter,” said the terrorists, according to SITE translator Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi. “The entire world is exposed to this American form of chaos.”
The once-powerful terrorists are hoping that the chaotic state of western politics will divert attention from the Middle East, allowing the group to claw back from its place in hiding.
A world in which the activities of the brutal terrorist group-one of the most bloodthirsty the world has even seen- were of daily relevance to the American public may seem like decades ago. But as American political discourse is fixated upon the nearly unprecedented impacts of racial unrest and the historical plague, a window for a return of the terrorist caliphate may present itself.
