thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-11--Has America Entered A New Era Of Permanent Civil Unrest?

In 2020 , it seems like each new day brings more headlines about chaos on the streets of America , and on Monday that included violence right outside the gates of the White House .
It is being reported that there was “ an active shooter near the White House ” , and we are being told that the Secret Service shot a “ male suspect ” and that the “ male suspect ” had been transported to the hospital .
I am sure that we will learn more about this incident in the days ahead , and we should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to easily handle this situation .
But there are reports that a group of protesters plans to “ lay siege ” to the White House in the weeks leading up to the election , and so officials will undoubtedly have their hands full as we draw closer to November .
Meanwhile , we just witnessed five hours of rioting , looting and violence in Chicago .
Some rioters exchanged gunfire with police , and ultimately a decision was made to raise bridges going into the city in order to contain the violence… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ train and bus service Monday morning after unrest and looting caused widespread damage in the city ’ s downtown overnight .
Videos that were circulating on social media captured the early morning scenes of hundreds of people in the streets , dozens of police officers , looting and confrontations with the police .
There was also an exchange of gunfire with the police in the downtown , according to a police spokesman , Tom Ahren .
He said on Twitter early Monday that there were “ shots fired at police who returned fire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injured.

In 2020, it seems like each new day brings more headlines about chaos on the streets of America, and on Monday that included violence right outside the gates of the White House. It is being reported that there was “an active shooter near the White House”, and we are being told that the Secret Service shot a “male suspect” and that the “male suspect” had been transported to the hospital. I am sure that we will learn more about this incident in the days ahead, and we should be thankful that the Secret Service was able to easily handle this situation. But there are reports that a group of protesters plans to “lay siege” to the White House in the weeks leading up to the election, and so officials will undoubtedly have their hands full as we draw closer to November.
Meanwhile, we just witnessed five hours of rioting, looting and violence in Chicago. Some rioters exchanged gunfire with police, and ultimately a decision was made to raise bridges going into the city in order to contain the violence…
Chicago officials raised bridges and suspended some train and bus service Monday morning after unrest and looting caused widespread damage in the city’s downtown overnight. Videos that were circulating on social media captured the early morning scenes of hundreds of people in the streets, dozens of police officers, looting and confrontations with the police. There was also an exchange of gunfire with the police in the downtown, according to a police spokesman, Tom Ahren. He said on Twitter early Monday that there were “shots fired at police who returned fire,” and that no officers were injured.”
In the past, a night of chaos like that would have been the top headline in the country for days, but now it is “just another riot” which will soon fade from memory.
These days, it takes quite a bit to shock us, and what happened at a “Back the Blue” rally in Fort Collins, Colorado on Saturday did shock many of us. A group of leftists decided to confront the protesters that were supporting the police, and that confrontation ultimately degenerated into a full-out brawl…
Video shot during the event captured the moment tensions between the two groups boiled over as a group of men who apparently attended the rally approached a group of counter-protests dressed in black. As the two groups approached a ditch, a fight broke out among the groups with people scuffling on the ground, punching each other, and spewing obscenities.
A lot of people celebrated that brawl, but the truth is that it should make us all very sad.
Americans shouldn’t be fighting Americans.
Is this what the future holds for our nation? A house divided against itself will surely fall, and right now the U.S. is very, very deeply divided.
Every single night there is more violence, and the entire world is watching. In Portland, rioting has been a nightly occurrence for two and a half months straight, and President Trump wants the National Guard to be called out…
Portland, which is out of control, should finally, after almost 3 months, bring in the National Guard. The Mayor and Governor are putting people’s lives at risk. They will be held responsible. The Guard is ready to act immediately. The Courthouse is secured by Homeland!
Ultimately it will be up to the governor of Oregon whether the National Guard is deployed or not, and it appears to be doubtful that it will happen any time soon.
Further north, law and order desperately needs to be restored in Seattle as well, because rioters continue to turn the downtown area into a war zone…
Riots broke out in Seattle on Sunday evening ahead of an expected city council vote to defund the police, according to videos on social media. Video by @BGOnTheScene showed Antifa protesters attacking an Amazon store. Journalist Andy Ngo, who tweeted the video, said the protesters had been using sledgehammers and have been rioting for hours, smashing businesses in and around Capitol Hill.
I didn’t think that we would still be seeing this much violence here in August, and now that we are getting close to the election there is a strong possibility that a new wave of chaos could erupt in cities all over America at any time.
Of course, if President Trump wins in November or if the outcome is very closely contested, that will only add fuel to the fire.
For years I had been warning that anger and frustration were building to exceedingly dangerous levels in this country, and now we are reaping what the mainstream media and many of our political leaders have sown.
Sadly, what we have experienced so far is just the tip of the iceberg, because much worse civil unrest is still on the horizon.
So it makes sense why so many people are wanting to move away from the big cities at this point.
The other day I wrote an article about the hundreds of thousands of wealthy New Yorkers that have already fled NYC, and now we are being told that moving companies “remain inundated with requests from people leaving New York City”…
Even as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases has leveled off in recent weeks, moving companies say they remain inundated with requests from people leaving New York City. Big Apple-based moving company Oz Moving, for example, told FOX Business that the volume of moves continues to rise at a “substantial rate” – in addition to a “drastic” spike in storage compared with years prior.
On the west coast, Joe Rogan says that there is “a mass exodus” out of the state of California, and he recently decided to flee the state himself.
Of course, all of this movement is rapidly driving up property values in desirable rural communities all over the nation, and this is going to make it more difficult for those with more limited financial resources to relocate.
If you are among those that are considering fleeing the major cities, I would encourage you to make your decision quickly. Things are only going to get crazier in the months ahead, and the longer you wait the more difficult relocating will become.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-11--Truth:  Trump Didn’t Cut Your Taxes – He Deferred Them – You Get To Pay Them Back!

People are erroneously stating that Donald Trump ’ s executive order signed over the weekend “ cuts payroll taxes on workers.
” It doesn ’ t .
It defers the taxes , meaning you still have to pay them at a later date .
If we ever expect to have any kind of honest and rational society , we have to start waking up to the truth .
Of course , taxation of labor is , always was , and always will be theft .
But deferment is not “ cutting your theft rate ” either .
It simply means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later date .
It ’ s tough to hear , that Trump did nothing , but sometimes the truth hurts .
Again , tough to hear , but the truth is treason in the empire of lies .
And , an executive order delaying the taxation is really supposed to be a power reserved to Congress ( they have a monopoly of theft unless you include the police and civil asset forfeiture . )
If you believe in “ law and order ” and the Constitution than Trump overstepped anyway .
Any changes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come from Congress , so it is likely Trump will face a legal challenge over these actions as well .
It ’ ll end up being smoke in mirrors and a designed distraction while the Federal Reserve continues to impoverish the masses , but provide a good show while it ’ s happening to keep the majority asleep and “ rooting for ” one side or the other .
The real problems are those not being reported on or those coming down the pipe if you can read between the lines .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s a battle for our minds and most of us are still losing .
It ’ s past time to take responsibility for our own actions and realize that this system , regardless of the puppets dancing on command , was set up against us .
Trump may be trying to help , and this might be all he can do .
However , if you believe that he is trying to help but limited in what can do , while also believing he ’ s going to be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ re delusional at best and willfully ignorant at worst .
Especially considering he ’ s rolling out the military to help force Americans to take a COVID vaccine .
Wake UP : As Predicted , LOCKDOWNS Are Back In Some States !
Political there is nothing more .
It ’ s all a charade and a facade designed us to keep us distracted from the system set up against us .

People are erroneously stating that Donald Trump’s executive order signed over the weekend “cuts payroll taxes on workers.” It doesn’t. It defers the taxes, meaning you still have to pay them at a later date.
If we ever expect to have any kind of honest and rational society, we have to start waking up to the truth. Of course, taxation of labor is, always was, and always will be theft. But deferment is not “cutting your theft rate” either. It simply means thugs will attempt the theft at a later date. It’s tough to hear, that Trump did nothing, but sometimes the truth hurts.
Again, tough to hear, but the truth is treason in the empire of lies. And, an executive order delaying the taxation is really supposed to be a power reserved to Congress (they have a monopoly of theft unless you include the police and civil asset forfeiture.) If you believe in “law and order” and the Constitution than Trump overstepped anyway. Any changes to taxes or spending are supposed to come from Congress, so it is likely Trump will face a legal challenge over these actions as well. It’ll end up being smoke in mirrors and a designed distraction while the Federal Reserve continues to impoverish the masses, but provide a good show while it’s happening to keep the majority asleep and “rooting for” one side or the other.
The real problems are those not being reported on or those coming down the pipe if you can read between the lines. This is still a war on the people. It’s a battle for our minds and most of us are still losing. It’s past time to take responsibility for our own actions and realize that this system, regardless of the puppets dancing on command, was set up against us.
Trump may be trying to help, and this might be all he can do. However, if you believe that he is trying to help but limited in what can do, while also believing he’s going to be able to take down the deep state, you’re delusional at best and willfully ignorant at worst. Especially considering he’s rolling out the military to help force Americans to take a COVID vaccine.
Wake UP: As Predicted, LOCKDOWNS Are Back In Some States!
Political there is nothing more. It’s all a charade and a facade designed us to keep us distracted from the system set up against us.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-11--This Is Amerika: Where Fascism, Totalitarianism & Militarism Go Hand In Hand

This Is Amerika : Where Fascism , Totalitarianism & Militarism Go Hand In Hand There ’ s a pattern emerging if you pay close enough attention .
Civil discontent leads to civil unrest , which leads to protests and counterprotests .
Without fail , what should be an exercise in how to peacefully disagree turns ugly the moment looting , vandalism , violence , intimidation tactics and rioting are introduced into the equation .
Instead of restoring order , local police stand down .
This was the blueprint used three years ago in Charlottesville , Va. , in 2017 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the happiest places in America , became ground zero for a heated war of words—and actions—over racism , “ sanitizing history , ” extremism ( both right and left ) , political correctness , hate speech , partisan politics , and a growing fear that violent words will end in violent actions .
It was a setup : local police deliberately engineered a situation in which protesters would confront each other , tensions would bubble over , and things would turn just violent enough to call in the bigger guns .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ now .
In Charlottesville , as in so many parts of the country right now , the conflict was over how to reconcile the nation ’ s checkered past , particularly as it relates to slavery , with the push to sanitize the environment of anything—words and images—that might cause offense , especially if it ’ s a Confederate flag or monument .
That fear of offense prompted the Charlottesville City Council to get rid of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that had graced one of its public parks for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything went haywire .
In attempting to pacify one particularly vocal and righteously offended group while railroading over the concerns of those with alternate viewpoints , Charlottesville attracted the unwanted attention of the Ku Klux Klan , neo-Nazis and the alt-Right , all of whom descended on the little college town with the intention of exercising their First Amendment right to be disagreeable , to assemble , and to protest .
When put to the test , Charlottesville did not handle things well at all .
On August 12 , 2017 , what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speech quickly became a brawl that left one dead and dozens more injured .
As the New York Times reported , “ Protesters began to mace one another , throwing water bottles and urine-filled balloons — some of which hit reporters — and beating each other with flagpoles , clubs and makeshift weapons .
Before long , the downtown area was a melee .
People were ducking and covering with a constant stream of projectiles whizzing by our faces , and the air was filled with the sounds of fists and sticks against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police , who were supposed to uphold the law and prevent violence .
They failed to do either .
Indeed , a 220-page post-mortem of the protests and the Charlottesville government ’ s response by former U.S. attorney Timothy J. Heaphy merely corroborates our worst fears about what drives the government at all levels : power , money , ego , politics and ambition .
When presented with a situation in which the government and its agents were tasked with protecting free speech and safety , Heaphy concluded that “ the City of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety.
” Heaphy continues : “ The City was unable to protect the right of free expression and facilitate the permit holder ’ s offensive speech .
This represents a failure of one of government ’ s core functions—the protection of fundamental rights .
Law enforcement also failed to maintain order and protect citizens from harm , injury , and death .
Charlottesville preserved neither of those principles on August 12 , which has led to deep distrust of government within this community.
” In other words , the government failed to uphold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to carry out their duties as peace officers .
And the citizens found themselves unable to trust either the police or the government to do its job in respecting their rights and ensuring their safety .
Despite the fact that 1,000 first responders ( including 300 state police troopers and members of the National Guard ) —many of whom had been preparing for the downtown rally for months—had been called on to work the event , despite the fact that police in riot gear surrounded Emancipation Park on three sides , and despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporter David Graham referred to as “ a dress rehearsal of sorts ” a month earlier when 30 members of the Ku Klux Klan were confronted by 1000 counterprotesters , police failed to do their jobs .
In fact , as the Washington Post reports , police “ seemed to watch as groups beat each other with sticks and bludgeoned one another with shields… At one point , police appeared to retreat and then watch the beatings before eventually moving in to end the free-for-all , make arrests and tend to the injured.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mounted in Charlottesville , ” reported ProPublica .
Instead of establishing clear boundaries—buffer zones—between the warring groups and protecting the First Amendment rights of the protesters , police established two entrances into the permit areas of the park and created barriers “ guiding rallygoers single-file into the park ” past lines of white nationalists and antifa counterprotesters .
Incredibly , when the first signs of open violence broke out , Heaphy reports that the police chief allegedly instructed his staff to “ let them fight , it will make it easier to declare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much different from what is happening on the present-day national scene .
Commissioned by the City of Charlottesville , this Heaphy report was intended to be an independent investigation of what went right and what went wrong in the government ’ s handling of the protests .
Heaphy found very little to commend .
What went right on Aug. 12 according to Heaphy : 1 ) Despite the presence of firearms , including members of the militia , and angry confrontations between protesters and counterprotesters , no person was shot and no significant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personnel did their jobs effectively and treated a large number of people in a short period of time ; and 3 ) Police intelligence gathering was thorough ( that ’ s the best he had to say about police ) .
Now for what went wrong , according to the report : 1 .
Police failed to get input from other law enforcement agencies experienced in handling large protests .
2 .
Police failed to adequately train their officers in advance of the protest .
3 .
City officials failed to request assistance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City Council unduly interfered by ignoring legal advice , attempting to move the protesters elsewhere , and ignoring the concerns of law enforcement .
5 .
The city government failed to inform the public about their plans .
6 .
City officials were misguided in allowing weapons at the protest .
7 .
The police implemented a flawed operational plan that failed to protect public safety .
8 .
While police were provided with riot gear , they were never trained in how to use it , nor were they provided with any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with or de-escalate anticipated violence on the part of protesters .
9 .
Despite the input and advice of outside counsel , including The Rutherford Institute , the police failed to employ de-escalation tactics or establish clear barriers between warring factions of protesters .
10 .
Government officials and police leadership opted to advance their own agendas at the expense of constitutional rights and public safety .
11 .
For all intents and purposes , police abided by a stand down order that endangered the community and paved the way for massive civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protect public safety , police and government officials undermined public faith in the government .
The Heaphy report focused on the events that took place in Charlottesville , Virginia , but it applies to almost every branch of government that fails to serve “ we the people.
” As the Pew Research Center revealed , public trust in the government remains near historic lows and with good reason , too .
This isn ’ t America , land of the free , where the government is “ of the people , by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Rather , this is Amerika , where fascism , totalitarianism and militarism go hand in hand .
What you smell is the stench of a dying republic .
Our dying republic .
The American experiment in freedom is failing fast .
Through every fault of our own—our apathy , our ignorance , our intolerance , our disinclination to do the hard work of holding government leaders accountable to the rule of law , our inclination to let politics trump longstanding constitutional principles—we have been reduced to this sorry state in which we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a prison operated for the profit of a corporate elite .
We have been saddled with the wreckage of a government at all levels that no longer represents the citizenry , serves the citizenry , or is accountable to the citizenry .
“ We the people ” are not the masters anymore .
It doesn ’ t matter whether you ’ re talking about the federal government , state governments , or local governing bodies : at all ends of the spectrum and every point in between , a shift has taken place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not being seen , heard or valued .
We no longer count for much of anything beyond an occasional electoral vote and as a source of income for the government ’ s ever-burgeoning financial needs .
Everything happening at the national level is playing out at the local level , as well : the violence , the militarization , the intolerance , the lopsided governance , and an uneasy awareness that the citizenry have no say in how their communities are being governed .
As I have warned repeatedly , the architects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manipulating this outrage for their own purposes .
Predictably , the police state is allowing these protests , riots and looting to devolve into a situation where enough of the voting populace is so desperate for a return to law and order that they will gladly relinquish some of their freedoms to achieve it .
And that ’ s how the police state will win , no matter which candidate gets elected to the White House , and “ we the people ” will continue to lose .
As always , it must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ ve always advised people to think nationally , but act locally .
Yet as Charlottesville made clear , it ’ s hard to make a difference locally when the local government is as deaf , dumb and blind to the needs of its constituents as the national government .
Charlottesville much like the rest of the nation has had its fair share of government leaders who are tone-deaf , focused on their own aggrandizement , and incapable of prioritizing the needs of their constituents over their own personal and political agendas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety , heavy-handed militarized tactics , and power plays trump their duty to serve and protect ; polarized citizens incapable of finding common ground , respecting each other ’ s rights , or agreeing to disagree ; and a community held hostage by political correctness , divisive rhetoric and a growing intolerance for any views that may be unpopular or at odds with the mainstream .
It was a perfect storm just waiting for the right conditions to wreak havoc , a precursor of the rage , frustration and fear that is erupting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what forces are manipulating these present riots and violent uprisings , however—and there are definitely such forces at play here—none of this would be happening without the government having laid the groundwork .
Clearly , it ’ s time to clean house at all levels of government .
Stop tolerating corruption , graft , intolerance , greed , incompetence , ineptitude , militarism , lawlessness , ignorance , brutality , deceit , collusion , corpulence , bureaucracy , immorality , depravity , censorship , cruelty , violence , mediocrity , and tyranny .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is rotten through and through .
Stop holding your nose in order to block out the stench of a rotting institution .
Stop letting the government and its agents treat you like a servant or a slave .
You ’ ve got rights .
We ’ ve all got rights .
This is our country .
This is our government .
No one can take it away from us unless we make it easy for them .
You ’ ve got a better chance of making your displeasure seen and felt and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it will take perseverance and unity and a commitment to finding common ground with your fellow citizens .
Right now , as I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , we ’ re making it way too easy for the police state to take over .
Stop being an accessory to the murder of the American republic .

This Is Amerika: Where Fascism, Totalitarianism & Militarism Go Hand In Hand
“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem.”—Ronald Reagan
There’s a pattern emerging if you pay close enough attention.
Civil discontent leads to civil unrest, which leads to protests and counterprotests.
Without fail, what should be an exercise in how to peacefully disagree turns ugly the moment looting, vandalism, violence, intimidation tactics and rioting are introduced into the equation. Instead of restoring order, local police stand down.
Tensions rise, violence escalates, and federal armies move in.
Coincidence? I think not.
This was the blueprint used three years ago in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, when the city regularly cited as being one of the happiest places in America, became ground zero for a heated war of words—and actions—over racism, “sanitizing history,” extremism (both right and left), political correctness, hate speech, partisan politics, and a growing fear that violent words will end in violent actions.
It was a setup: local police deliberately engineered a situation in which protesters would confront each other, tensions would bubble over, and things would turn just violent enough to call in the bigger guns.
It is the blueprint being used right now.
In Charlottesville, as in so many parts of the country right now, the conflict was over how to reconcile the nation’s checkered past, particularly as it relates to slavery, with the push to sanitize the environment of anything—words and images—that might cause offense, especially if it’s a Confederate flag or monument.
That fear of offense prompted the Charlottesville City Council to get rid of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that had graced one of its public parks for 82 years.
That’s when everything went haywire.
In attempting to pacify one particularly vocal and righteously offended group while railroading over the concerns of those with alternate viewpoints, Charlottesville attracted the unwanted attention of the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and the alt-Right, all of whom descended on the little college town with the intention of exercising their First Amendment right to be disagreeable, to assemble, and to protest.
When put to the test, Charlottesville did not handle things well at all.
On August 12, 2017, what should have been an exercise in free speech quickly became a brawl that left one dead and dozens more injured.
As the New York Times reported, “Protesters began to mace one another, throwing water bottles and urine-filled balloons — some of which hit reporters — and beating each other with flagpoles, clubs and makeshift weapons. Before long, the downtown area was a melee. People were ducking and covering with a constant stream of projectiles whizzing by our faces, and the air was filled with the sounds of fists and sticks against flesh.”
And then there was the police, who were supposed to uphold the law and prevent violence.
They failed to do either.
Indeed, a 220-page post-mortem of the protests and the Charlottesville government’s response by former U.S. attorney Timothy J. Heaphy merely corroborates our worst fears about what drives the government at all levels: power, money, ego, politics and ambition.
When presented with a situation in which the government and its agents were tasked with protecting free speech and safety, Heaphy concluded that “the City of Charlottesville protected neither free expression nor public safety.”
Heaphy continues: “The City was unable to protect the right of free expression and facilitate the permit holder’s offensive speech. This represents a failure of one of government’s core functions—the protection of fundamental rights. Law enforcement also failed to maintain order and protect citizens from harm, injury, and death. Charlottesville preserved neither of those principles on August 12, which has led to deep distrust of government within this community.”
In other words, the government failed to uphold its constitutional mandates. The police failed to carry out their duties as peace officers. And the citizens found themselves unable to trust either the police or the government to do its job in respecting their rights and ensuring their safety.
Despite the fact that 1,000 first responders (including 300 state police troopers and members of the National Guard)—many of whom had been preparing for the downtown rally for months—had been called on to work the event, despite the fact that police in riot gear surrounded Emancipation Park on three sides, and despite the fact that Charlottesville had had what reporter David Graham referred to as “a dress rehearsal of sorts” a month earlier when 30 members of the Ku Klux Klan were confronted by 1000 counterprotesters, police failed to do their jobs.
In fact, as the Washington Post reports, police “seemed to watch as groups beat each other with sticks and bludgeoned one another with shields… At one point, police appeared to retreat and then watch the beatings before eventually moving in to end the free-for-all, make arrests and tend to the injured.”
“Police Stood By As Mayhem Mounted in Charlottesville,” reported ProPublica.
Instead of establishing clear boundaries—buffer zones—between the warring groups and protecting the First Amendment rights of the protesters, police established two entrances into the permit areas of the park and created barriers “guiding rallygoers single-file into the park” past lines of white nationalists and antifa counterprotesters.
Incredibly, when the first signs of open violence broke out, Heaphy reports that the police chief allegedly instructed his staff to “let them fight, it will make it easier to declare an unlawful assembly.”
This is not much different from what is happening on the present-day national scene.
Commissioned by the City of Charlottesville, this Heaphy report was intended to be an independent investigation of what went right and what went wrong in the government’s handling of the protests.
Heaphy found very little to commend.
What went right on Aug. 12 according to Heaphy: 1) Despite the presence of firearms, including members of the militia, and angry confrontations between protesters and counterprotesters, no person was shot and no significant property damage occurred; 2) Emergency personnel did their jobs effectively and treated a large number of people in a short period of time; and 3) Police intelligence gathering was thorough (that’s the best he had to say about police).
Now for what went wrong, according to the report:
1. Police failed to get input from other law enforcement agencies experienced in handling large protests.
2. Police failed to adequately train their officers in advance of the protest.
3. City officials failed to request assistance from outside agencies.
4. The City Council unduly interfered by ignoring legal advice, attempting to move the protesters elsewhere, and ignoring the concerns of law enforcement.
5. The city government failed to inform the public about their plans.
6. City officials were misguided in allowing weapons at the protest.
7. The police implemented a flawed operational plan that failed to protect public safety.
8. While police were provided with riot gear, they were never trained in how to use it, nor were they provided with any meaningful field training in how to deal with or de-escalate anticipated violence on the part of protesters.
9. Despite the input and advice of outside counsel, including The Rutherford Institute, the police failed to employ de-escalation tactics or establish clear barriers between warring factions of protesters.
10. Government officials and police leadership opted to advance their own agendas at the expense of constitutional rights and public safety.
11. For all intents and purposes, police abided by a stand down order that endangered the community and paved the way for massive civil unrest.
12. In failing to protect public safety, police and government officials undermined public faith in the government.
The Heaphy report focused on the events that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, but it applies to almost every branch of government that fails to serve “we the people.”
As the Pew Research Center revealed, public trust in the government remains near historic lows and with good reason, too.
This isn’t America, land of the free, where the government is “of the people, by the people [and] for the people.”
Rather, this is Amerika, where fascism, totalitarianism and militarism go hand in hand.
What you smell is the stench of a dying republic. Our dying republic.
The American experiment in freedom is failing fast.
Through every fault of our own—our apathy, our ignorance, our intolerance, our disinclination to do the hard work of holding government leaders accountable to the rule of law, our inclination to let politics trump longstanding constitutional principles—we have been reduced to this sorry state in which we are little more than shackled inmates in a prison operated for the profit of a corporate elite.
We have been saddled with the wreckage of a government at all levels that no longer represents the citizenry, serves the citizenry, or is accountable to the citizenry.
“We the people” are not the masters anymore.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about the federal government, state governments, or local governing bodies: at all ends of the spectrum and every point in between, a shift has taken place.
“We the people” are not being seen, heard or valued.
We no longer count for much of anything beyond an occasional electoral vote and as a source of income for the government’s ever-burgeoning financial needs.
Everything happening at the national level is playing out at the local level, as well: the violence, the militarization, the intolerance, the lopsided governance, and an uneasy awareness that the citizenry have no say in how their communities are being governed.
As I have warned repeatedly, the architects of the police state have every intention of manipulating this outrage for their own purposes.
Predictably, the police state is allowing these protests, riots and looting to devolve into a situation where enough of the voting populace is so desperate for a return to law and order that they will gladly relinquish some of their freedoms to achieve it. And that’s how the police state will win, no matter which candidate gets elected to the White House, and “we the people” will continue to lose.
So what’s the answer?
As always, it must start with “we the people.”
I’ve always advised people to think nationally, but act locally.
Yet as Charlottesville made clear, it’s hard to make a difference locally when the local government is as deaf, dumb and blind to the needs of its constituents as the national government.
Charlottesville much like the rest of the nation has had its fair share of government leaders who are tone-deaf, focused on their own aggrandizement, and incapable of prioritizing the needs of their constituents over their own personal and political agendas; law enforcement officials for whom personal safety, heavy-handed militarized tactics, and power plays trump their duty to serve and protect; polarized citizens incapable of finding common ground, respecting each other’s rights, or agreeing to disagree; and a community held hostage by political correctness, divisive rhetoric and a growing intolerance for any views that may be unpopular or at odds with the mainstream.
It was a perfect storm just waiting for the right conditions to wreak havoc, a precursor of the rage, frustration and fear that is erupting all over the country.
No matter what forces are manipulating these present riots and violent uprisings, however—and there are definitely such forces at play here—none of this would be happening without the government having laid the groundwork.
Clearly, it’s time to clean house at all levels of government.
Stop tolerating corruption, graft, intolerance, greed, incompetence, ineptitude, militarism, lawlessness, ignorance, brutality, deceit, collusion, corpulence, bureaucracy, immorality, depravity, censorship, cruelty, violence, mediocrity, and tyranny. These are the hallmarks of an institution that is rotten through and through.
Stop holding your nose in order to block out the stench of a rotting institution.
Stop letting the government and its agents treat you like a servant or a slave.
You’ve got rights. We’ve all got rights. This is our country. This is our government. No one can take it away from us unless we make it easy for them.
You’ve got a better chance of making your displeasure seen and felt and heard within your own community. But it will take perseverance and unity and a commitment to finding common ground with your fellow citizens.
Right now, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People , we’re making it way too easy for the police state to take over.
Stop being an accessory to the murder of the American republic.

It ’ s completely unconstitutional and a violation of the Fourth Amendment , as well as possibly the Fifth Amendment .
Yet , New York is doing it .
They have set up COVID-19 checkpoints !
That ’ s right , just like the illegal detaining that takes place in DUI checkpoints across the country , New York is doing it with the COVID-19 hoax .
A recent article in The New York Post revealed how the NYPD used the pandemic to justify creating COVID-19 checkpoints .
Police are using the pandemic as an excuse to circumvent the Fourth Amendment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to answer questions like have they spent more than 24 hours during the previous 14 days in any state on New York ’ s restricted list ?
The city has the audacity to claim that these stops are “ quick and educational.
” There is nothing quick and educational about being stopped and questioned by government officials .
Is there anything educational about fining people $ 10,000 dollars ?
Earlier this year , The Orlando Sentinel called COVID-19 checkpoints security theater , and worried about the cost to taxpayers .
COVID-19 checkpoints have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , North Carolina , Colorado , Mississippi , Louisiana and Texas .
Government officials use COVID-19 as an excuse to question and interrogate visitors .
Imagine getting off a train or bus in New York City and being forced to go through a government checkpoint .
This is America , you say .
I can refuse to answer their questions , right ?
People who refuse to answer their questions could be fined anywhere from $ 2,000- $ 10,000 dollars .
Three years ago , I revealed that police have created thirty-three different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ploy ; using a pandemic as an excuse to create another police checkpoint , is inexcusable .
COVID-19 checkpoints make a mockery of police reform and tramples our Bill of Rights .
It is only a matter of time before COVID-19 checkpoints spread across the country .
The noose is tightening , America .
When are you going to wake up and shake off the chains that are softly encompassing you ?

It’s completely unconstitutional and a violation of the Fourth Amendment, as well as possibly the Fifth Amendment. Yet, New York is doing it. They have set up COVID-19 checkpoints! That’s right, just like the illegal detaining that takes place in DUI checkpoints across the country, New York is doing it with the COVID-19 hoax.
Mass Private has the story.
A recent article in The New York Post revealed how the NYPD used the pandemic to justify creating COVID-19 checkpoints.
“New York officials have stopped 353 cars at entrances to the Big Apple to warn travelers of the mandatory two-week quarantine rule. The stops were made from Wednesday through Friday at bridges and tunnels, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office.”
Police are using the pandemic as an excuse to circumvent the Fourth Amendment by asking a vehicle’s occupants to answer questions like have they spent more than 24 hours during the previous 14 days in any state on New York’s restricted list?
The city has the audacity to claim that these stops are “quick and educational.” There is nothing quick and educational about being stopped and questioned by government officials.
Is there anything educational about fining people $10,000 dollars?
“Travelers who violate the quarantine rule could face up to $10,000 in fines. There are currently 35 states plus Puerto Rico on the list.”
Earlier this year, The Orlando Sentinel called COVID-19 checkpoints security theater, and worried about the cost to taxpayers. COVID-19 checkpoints have also been set up in Rhode Island, North Carolina, Colorado, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Penn Station COVID-19 checkpoint
A WKZO article shows U.S. military personnel conducting a COVID-19 checkpoint at Penn Station.
“A few dozen travelers got off a train from Miami at New York City’s Penn Station on Thursday and were greeted by a team of public health workers and mayoral office staff who handed them informational fliers about the state’s new COVID-19 quarantine rules.”
Government officials use COVID-19 as an excuse to question and interrogate visitors.
“The team, comprised of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s public engagement unit and the city’s COVID-19 Test & Trace Corps, were running a checkpoint starting at Penn Station on Thursday to ensure that visitors from any of the 35 states on New York’s travel advisory were aware of the 14-day quarantine mandate.”
Imagine getting off a train or bus in New York City and being forced to go through a government checkpoint. This is America, you say. I can refuse to answer their questions, right?
People who refuse to answer their questions could be fined anywhere from $2,000-$10,000 dollars.
“A spokeswoman for City Hall said refusing to fill out the quarantine form could subject travelers from designated states to a $2000 fine, and violations of the quarantine orders could result in a $10,000 fine.”
Three years ago, I revealed that police have created thirty-three different types of checkpoints. But this latest ploy; using a pandemic as an excuse to create another police checkpoint, is inexcusable.
COVID-19 checkpoints make a mockery of police reform and tramples our Bill of Rights. It is only a matter of time before COVID-19 checkpoints spread across the country.
The noose is tightening, America. When are you going to wake up and shake off the chains that are softly encompassing you?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-11--A Jewish Rabbi & A Catholic Bishop Walked Into A Mosque…

To be precise , it was Ireland ’ s Croke Park Stadium , not a proper mosque , but what happened there was no joke .
ChurchMilitant.com reported that on Friday , July 31 , Ireland ’ s top Catholic prelate , Archbishop Diarmuid Martin , “ joined Muslims in celebrating a key Islamic festival which falsifies the Bible by declaring that the patriarch Abraham took Ishmael , not Isaac , to be sacrificed on Mount Moriah.
” Also present was Jewish Rabbi Zalman Lent , who enthused “ it is special we can all sit here together … as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was just as enthusiastic , saying : “ Today marks a new chapter in the history of Croke Park .
Today our celebration is a gesture of recognizing publicly the place of the Muslim community as an integral part of the family of the Irish and to recognize the contribution of your Muslim community to the Ireland of today and to the Ireland of tomorrow.
” As I told Church Militant , Martin ’ s complacent satisfaction was all the more disgraceful in light of the fact that at the time the Eid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still are in many places deprived of the sacraments and subject to immense and unprecedented restrictions on their worship , the bishops wouldn ’ t dare miss an Islamic celebration .
In this event we see yet again the Catholic hierarchy ’ s endless solicitude for Muslims and Islam , and its disdain for actual Catholics .
What is unusual in this case is that some Catholics stood up against this exercise in a self-defeating and pointless dialogue that has never saved one single Christian from Muslim persecution , or prevented any jihadists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Martin ’ s participation was all the more unconscionable that they would be celebrating Eid al-Adha , the day on which Muslims sacrifice animals in honor of Abraham sacrificing Ishmael — not Isaac .
When Diarmuid Martin and Zalman Lent think of Abraham , they probably think of Genesis 22:15-18 , in which Abraham is rewarded for his faith and told he will become a blessing to the nations : “ by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves , because you have obeyed my voice.
” But their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They read the Qur ’ an .
Abraham ’ s willingness to sacrifice his son ( who is not named ) is recounted in 37:102-109 .
Islamic tradition holds that the son Abraham sacrificed was Ishmael , and that the Bible ’ s saying he was Isaac is more evidence of the Bible ’ s corruption .
Martin and Lent were inadvertently reinforcing that view by participating in this event .
Even worse , in sura 60 , Allah says that Abraham is an “ excellent example ” ( uswa hasana , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Muhammad in 33:21 ) for the believers when he tells his pagan family and people that “ there has arisen , between us and you , enmity and hatred for ever , unless ye believe in Allah and him alone ” ( v. 4 ) .

” Hatred is held up as exemplary ; forgiveness is explicitly declared to be not exemplary .
Martin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that takes for granted the legitimacy of everlasting enmity and hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims — and doing so precisely in the context of trying to build bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims .
This disgraceful event shows the priorities of the Catholic hierarchy today , and those of Leftist clerics in general .

And even worse , the endless solicitude of Leftist Jewish and Christian clerics for Islam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who greeted Martin and Lent at Croke Park Stadium thought of them as unbelievers from among the People of the Book , people whom the Qur ’ an terms “ the most vile of created beings ” ( 98:6 ) .
They almost certainly thought that before this event , and they continued to think it afterward .
The words of the Qur ’ an will never be erased .
A pious , knowledgeable , believing Muslim will never disregard those words just because an infidel , who is akin to an animal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him kindness .
The command will remain : “ Muhammad is the apostle of Allah .
Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers , merciful to one another ” ( Qur ’ an 48:29 ) .
That is something you will never hear from the likes of Zalman Lent and Diarmuid Martin .
But it remains in the Islamic holy book nevertheless .

To be precise, it was Ireland’s Croke Park Stadium, not a proper mosque, but what happened there was no joke. ChurchMilitant.com reported that on Friday, July 31, Ireland’s top Catholic prelate, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, “joined Muslims in celebrating a key Islamic festival which falsifies the Bible by declaring that the patriarch Abraham took Ishmael, not Isaac, to be sacrificed on Mount Moriah.” Also present was Jewish Rabbi Zalman Lent, who enthused “it is special we can all sit here together … as brothers.”
Martin (pictured above) was just as enthusiastic, saying: “Today marks a new chapter in the history of Croke Park. Today our celebration is a gesture of recognizing publicly the place of the Muslim community as an integral part of the family of the Irish and to recognize the contribution of your Muslim community to the Ireland of today and to the Ireland of tomorrow.”

In this event we see yet again the Catholic hierarchy’s endless solicitude for Muslims and Islam, and its disdain for actual Catholics.
What is unusual in this case is that some Catholics stood up against this exercise in a self-defeating and pointless dialogue that has never saved one single Christian from Muslim persecution, or prevented any jihadists from destroying even just one church.
Martin’s participation was all the more unconscionable that they would be celebrating Eid al-Adha, the day on which Muslims sacrifice animals in honor of Abraham sacrificing Ishmael — not Isaac.
When Diarmuid Martin and Zalman Lent think of Abraham, they probably think of Genesis 22:15-18, in which Abraham is rewarded for his faith and told he will become a blessing to the nations: “by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.”
But their Muslim friends don’t read Genesis. They read the Qur’an. Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son (who is not named) is recounted in 37:102-109. Islamic tradition holds that the son Abraham sacrificed was Ishmael, and that the Bible’s saying he was Isaac is more evidence of the Bible’s corruption. Martin and Lent were inadvertently reinforcing that view by participating in this event.
Even worse, in sura 60, Allah says that Abraham is an “excellent example” (uswa hasana, أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ, a term applied also to Muhammad in 33:21) for the believers when he tells his pagan family and people that “there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever, unless ye believe in Allah and him alone” (v. 4). The same verse goes on to say that Abraham is not an excellent example when he tells his father, “I will pray for forgiveness for you.” Hatred is held up as exemplary; forgiveness is explicitly declared to be not exemplary.
Martin and Lent were thus reinforcing a worldview that takes for granted the legitimacy of everlasting enmity and hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims — and doing so precisely in the context of trying to build bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims.
This disgraceful event shows the priorities of the Catholic hierarchy today, and those of Leftist clerics in general. Islam is the preferred religion of the Left, and that holds true even when the leftists in question are clerics of different faiths.
And even worse, the endless solicitude of Leftist Jewish and Christian clerics for Islam will never be reciprocated. The Muslims who greeted Martin and Lent at Croke Park Stadium thought of them as unbelievers from among the People of the Book, people whom the Qur’an terms “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). They almost certainly thought that before this event, and they continued to think it afterward. The words of the Qur’an will never be erased. A pious, knowledgeable, believing Muslim will never disregard those words just because an infidel, who is akin to an animal (Qur’an 8:55) shows him kindness.
The command will remain: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another” (Qur’an 48:29). That is something you will never hear from the likes of Zalman Lent and Diarmuid Martin. But it remains in the Islamic holy book nevertheless.

Antifa Protesters Allegedly Attack Veteran In Wheelchair — Then Learn Lesson They Will Never Forget
Taking our country back from the leftist barbarians.
Antifa protesters allegedly attack veteran in wheelchair — then learn lesson they will never forget
‘You guys came to the wrong city, boys and girls’
By: Chris Enloe, The Blaze, August 2020:
Antifa protesters in Colorado learned a lesson on Saturday that they will never forget: Don’t attack a man in a wheelchair
According to the Rocky Mountain Collegian, a pro-police rally in Fort Collins turned violent when Antifa protesters, wearing their signature black-clad outfits, attempted to crash a “Back the Blue” rally being held outside the Fort Collins Police Services building.
Video of the incident, which gained attention online, showed that pro-police demonstrators responded by forcing the Antifa protesters away through a nearby neighborhood.
“So, we are currently marching the Antifa commie bas****s out of the neighborhood because nobody wants Antifa in the neighborhood. Nobody wants them here, so we’re marching them out,” the man who recorded the video said.
As pro-police demonstrators continued to force out the Antifa protesters, whom they labeled “commie scum,” violence suddenly ensued. The video shows the pro-police demonstrators and the Antifa protesters brawl in a small ditch, with the pro-police demonstrators getting the better end of the Antifa protesters.
A man with a bullhorn announced, “You guys came to the wrong city, boys and girls.”
(Content Warning: The following video contains strong language):
Police then arrived and broke up the brawl.
Witnesses confirmed that the Antifa protesters allegedly attacked a veteran in a wheelchair, triggering the brawl.
“How you like that? Communists going after dudes in wheelchairs,” the man behind the camera said in a second video.

Fort Collins Police Services spokesperson Kate Kimble confirmed that police made three arrests and issued one situation as a result of the violence.
From the Rocky Mountain Collegian:
The Larimer County booking report shows two arrests made by officer Christopher Young and one arrest made by officer Jason Haferman. All three people arrested were charged with disorderly conduct, one person with an additional charge of possession of an illegal weapon and one with an additional charge of resisting arrest.
“We respect everyone’s right to peacefully assemble to voice their concerns,” Kimble said. “For the safety of our community, acts of violence, destruction of property and other unlawful behavior will not be tolerated.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-11--Nashville:  Council Member Wants People Who Refuse To Wear A Mask To Be Charged With Murder (Video)

Nashville : Council Member Wants People Who Refuse To Wear A Mask To Be Charged With Murder ( Video ) On both sides of the mask debate exist levels of anger , hatred , and ignorance like we here at TFTP have never seen .
Since mask-wearing has been politicized , we have seen people being killed for asking others to mask up , and being gunned down by police after refusing to mask up .
Video after video has surfaced showing mask shamers wishing death on innocent children as anti-maskers attack other innocent people .
It is pandemonium and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have scientists who contribute to the Free Thought Project , we are not made up of medical specialists , so we do not make recommendations on your personal health choices such as wearing a mask .
What we can recommend , however , is logic , reason , compassion , and civility when discussing and contemplating these issues .
Unfortunately , all these virtues seem to have been thrown out the window months ago when it comes to dealing with the pandemic .
In the latest complete lack of logic and police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Member Sharon Hurt has suggested charging people with attempted murder or murder for refusing to wear a mask .
Last week , during a virtual meeting of the Joint Public Safety and Health Committee , Hurt made the comments as she pushed for stronger legislation to go after those who refuse to wear a mask .
As the TN Star reports , Hurt said that she works for an organization that , “ If they pass the virus , then they are tried for murder or attempted murder.
” We have no idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could not find any “ organization ” that would charge people with murder for “ passing a virus.
” Nevertheless , Hurt thinks the same standard should apply to the general public .
“ This person who may very well pass this virus that ’ s out in the air because they ’ re not wearing a mask is basically doing the same thing to someone who contracts it and dies from it , ” she said .
“ Maybe there needs to be stronger legislation to say that if you do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposure of this virus to someone else then there will be some stronger penalty as it is in other viruses that are exposed , ” she said .
Hurt ’ s comments came as she criticized the government ’ s actions to date , which have so far accompanied a peak and subsequent decline in cases .
“ It seems to me that we have been more reactive as opposed to proactive and a little too late , too little , ” Hurt said .
After making these utterly insane recommendations , Metro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mike Jameson , who also participated in the virtual meeting , reminded her that the council is not some dictatorial entity who can create tyrannical laws out of thin air .
“ The Council does not have the opportunity on its own to create criminal legislation , ” he said .
“ In terms of creating a new code or class of criminal offenses , that is a creature of state law.
” “ I was afraid that was going to be the answer , ” Hurt said in disappointment .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of asking for something to be done as early as the Council was pushing , ” she added .
“ It seems it was not taken as seriously as it should have been and thus we are in the situation we are in right now.
” To be clear , it is already against the law not to wear a mask in Nashville .
Last week , before Hurt advocated for charging those without a mask on with murder , the mayor announced that police will be targeting those without a mask for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Broadway reminding persons that the mask mandate has the force of law .
Persons in violation can receive a Metropolitan Government citation for adjudication in Environmental Court , or a State of Tennessee criminal misdemeanor citation .
Under state law , violation of the Health Department ’ s mask order is a class C misdemeanor , ” the statement read .
Below is the video with this tyrant ’ s requests .
If it doesn ’ t start automatically , Hurt ’ s comments begin at the 1:01:40 mark .

On both sides of the mask debate exist levels of anger, hatred, and ignorance like we here at TFTP have never seen. Since mask-wearing has been politicized, we have seen people being killed for asking others to mask up, and being gunned down by police after refusing to mask up. Video after video has surfaced showing mask shamers wishing death on innocent children as anti-maskers attack other innocent people. It is pandemonium and it is seemingly getting worse.
Though we have scientists who contribute to the Free Thought Project, we are not made up of medical specialists, so we do not make recommendations on your personal health choices such as wearing a mask. What we can recommend, however, is logic, reason, compassion, and civility when discussing and contemplating these issues. Unfortunately, all these virtues seem to have been thrown out the window months ago when it comes to dealing with the pandemic.
In the latest complete lack of logic and police state tendencies, Metro Nashville At-Large Council Member Sharon Hurt has suggested charging people with attempted murder or murder for refusing to wear a mask.
Last week, during a virtual meeting of the Joint Public Safety and Health Committee, Hurt made the comments as she pushed for stronger legislation to go after those who refuse to wear a mask.
As the TN Star reports, Hurt said that she works for an organization that, “If they pass the virus, then they are tried for murder or attempted murder.”
We have no idea what she is talking about as we could not find any “organization” that would charge people with murder for “passing a virus.” Nevertheless, Hurt thinks the same standard should apply to the general public.
“This person who may very well pass this virus that’s out in the air because they’re not wearing a mask is basically doing the same thing to someone who contracts it and dies from it,” she said.
“Maybe there needs to be stronger legislation to say that if you do not wear a mask, and you subject exposure of this virus to someone else then there will be some stronger penalty as it is in other viruses that are exposed,” she said.

“The Council does not have the opportunity on its own to create criminal legislation,” he said. “In terms of creating a new code or class of criminal offenses, that is a creature of state law.”
“I was afraid that was going to be the answer,” Hurt said in disappointment.
“I guess that’s the whole point of asking for something to be done as early as the Council was pushing,” she added. “It seems it was not taken as seriously as it should have been and thus we are in the situation we are in right now.”
To be clear, it is already against the law not to wear a mask in Nashville. Last week, before Hurt advocated for charging those without a mask on with murder, the mayor announced that police will be targeting those without a mask for extortion.
“There is clear signage on Broadway reminding persons that the mask mandate has the force of law. Persons in violation can receive a Metropolitan Government citation for adjudication in Environmental Court, or a State of Tennessee criminal misdemeanor citation. Under state law, violation of the Health Department’s mask order is a class C misdemeanor,” the statement read.

Ready For Radical Upheaval?

Anti Fed Ed Warriors , usually , I don ’ t have too much problem coming up with ways to bring you information to arm yourselves for our War Vs the Core .
I really didn ’ t have a problem accessing what I ’ m going to share with you , but I did have a problem with even having to see where education ’ s agenda is really headed .
Warriors , recently on Facebook , at least 2 of my fellow Warrior activists shared that the embracing of Agenda 21/2030 has been actively seen as ‘ Gaia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Gaia is a name for healing communities and a sacred love of plants .
Gaia can be traced to the Celts .
According to this one school where courses are in VT as well as CA , you can see the sage who shares apprenticeships with others in Gaia .
In Gaia , the Earth is the ‘ teacher ’ .

If you read far enough along in the linked school above , you ’ ll see that plays into gaia , too .
( *Note : not only does the founder of this school claim membership to the LGBTQ+ community , but several alumni , do as well .

How do they fit in our lives via the United Nations ?

Grab a barf bucket and let’s dig in!
First Up: Vermont
Warriors, recently on Facebook, at least 2 of my fellow Warrior activists shared that the embracing of Agenda 21/2030 has been actively seen as ‘Gaia worship’. What’s that? Gaia is a name for healing communities and a sacred love of plants. Gaia can be traced to the Celts. According to this one school where courses are in VT as well as CA, you can see the sage who shares apprenticeships with others in Gaia. In Gaia, the Earth is the ‘teacher’.

(Source for Lausanne Covenant’s embracing of the UN’s SDGs)
Warriors, what’s a bit disturbing is that Rev. Billy Graham has been credited with the seed ideas and initial meetings for the Covenant as a way to bring Christ’s true message across the world. Lausanne is in Switzerland. Today, the University there is a key UN Partner in higher education.
So, how does the gaia/Satanic fit in education? How do they fit in our lives via the United Nations? The Declaration of Human Rights, specifically Article 29! One of the fellow Warrior Activists pointed this out. (*Note: be sure to read the entire declaration as you’ll find how the one world religion plays into this, as well as how member nations are to pray the praises of the SDGs.)
If you aren’t catching the connection, it’s this: because the UN has the A21/2030 in place and the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are entrenched in our schools, communities, and, churches; the gaia/satanic portions are attached, but as GOOD and helpful ways to live!
Woven into every bit of this is ‘social justice’. Sadly, the 3rd point of the Lausanne Covenant is ‘holistic living’ which uses social justice as a platform!
“Occupy Wall Street” 2.0:
Warriors, if you haven’t seen it there’s a lot of attention on social media for the upcoming Seige of the White House.
Not only did the Sons of Liberty publish an article about it, I also was alerted by a Warrior Activist, too. I did some digging of my own and found that the groups tied to the upcoming seige are the same ones which helped get Occupy Wall Street (OWS) off the ground. Those in the OWS also helped when the ‘Opt out’ groups were going strong. (*Note: believe it or not, the ‘school choice’ fallacy showed up there, too.)
Here’s what else I found, that the OWS also can be tied to the Antifa movement. The International Socialist Review called OSW something which could be attributed to a Lenin quote about change happening quickly.
But, there’s more! The CCSS Machine used the OWS for curriculum changes for social justice! Among the topics: sustainability, caste system, and manipulation of food supplies. From NY, here’s an article about being the “99%” using OSW as an example. (*Note: if you join me on a special Sons of Liberty broadcast, we can share directly with you the pdf file with more about Common Core (aka: College/Career Readiness), OSW, and social justice.)
If you want to see how social media is being used for justice when it comes to race and who’s supposed to use what type of image to express themselves, check this Facebook post out. (*Note: the images and text with them is what you want to see.)
Closing:
Warriors, if you think you have no socialism already present in America, please pay attention. You do, I do..we all do!
Our window of opportunity to fight this WILL NOT depend on our current Administration or future Administrations.
IT’S UP TO US, We the People! If socialism doesn’t bother you, as far as your children from EVERY aspect of living and education, being exposed, then I hope the gaia/satanic/UN proof will! (Below, the ‘ASSCs’ stand for After School Satanic Clubs available community wide to ALL children.)
