thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-02--America’s “Days of Rage”: The Extensive Left-Wing Bombings & Domestic Terrorism of the 1970s

As the summer of 2020 dawned , left-wing radical groups began rioting and taking over parts of America ’ s cities .
While this specific form of left-wing violence is new , left-wing violence itself is far from new in the United States .
Indeed , one of the most hidden and concealed parts of recent American history is the extensive left-wing violence that began in the late 1960s and continued into the 1980s .
At first , one might think that these were isolated incidents of small-scale “ protest ” or even minor violence .
However , upon even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outpouring of leftist violence over this time period was anything but minor .
The most likely explanation for why you have never heard of this until now is that the events of these years have been consciously buried by those who would prefer you not know about them .
As the left once again ratchets up both its rhetoric and its physical violence , it ’ s time to re-explore this period of American history .
What started as a non-violent student movement quickly escalated into a campaign of terrorism against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may not be terribly striking yet , astute readers of this article will quickly see the world in which we live more and more closely resembling the Days of Rage .
The Days of Rage were in fact a short and discrete period of time – three days of demonstrations that took place on October 8 through 11 , 1969 .
Throughout this article , we will discuss events that took place both before and after the Days of Rage , but consider this period a sort of “ coming out ” party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Weather Underground .
The Weathermen started out as a faction within Students for a Democratic Society .
Without getting too much into the weeds , much of what happens during this period of leftist terrorism in the United States has its genesis in a faction fight between the Weathermen , who controlled the national SDS organization , and the rest of their faction ( known as the Revolutionary Youth Movement II or RYM II ) , who were in opposition to the more classically Maoist Worker Student Alliance .
Tensions ran high @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less than total control of the largest student radical organization in America and all of the spoils that came along with that .
Many within the Weathermen faction of RYM II believed that they were fighting literal fascism coming to America in the form of President Richard Nixon .
Sound familiar yet ?
It ’ s about to sound a lot more so .
On October 6 , 1969 , a statue memorializing a police officer killed during the 1886 Haymarket riots was blown up .
No one ever figured out who committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tangible effect of the act of political terrorism was the final isolation of the Weather Underground from the rest of the SDS .
The Weathermen then shifted their activity to the Days of Rage , a protest rally with the slogans “ Bring The War Home !
” Many wielded lead pipes and were clad in football helmets , ready for a confrontation with the police .
Turnout was disappointing .
The Weathermen expected a massive turnout , but only got about 800 , who stared down 2,000 Chicago police likely itching for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
By the first night , about 500 had deserted the protest , with about half of the remaining 300 being Weathermen from around the country .
Abbie Hoffman and John Froines , two members of the Chicago Seven , showed up , but declined to speak and left .
The remaining hardcore of Weathermen and their supporters shifted the goalposts to simply fighting the police as constituting victory .
At 10:25 p.m. , Jeff Jones , one of the leaders of the Weathermen , gave the signal and chaos erupted .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ windows of ordinary cars and middle-class homes throughout Chicago , as well as small businesses such as barber shops .
The next day , October 9 , a “ Women ’ s Militia ” comprised of about 70 female Weathermen planned to attack a draft board office , but were prevented from doing so by the Chicago Police Department .
The governor called up 2,500 National Guard members to protect Chicago , and protests for later in the day were canceled .
The Black Panther Party ’ s local leadership attempted to distance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group as “ anarchistic , opportunistic , adventuristic , and Custeristic.
” The next day was the last day of the Days of Rage proper , centered around a march of 2,000 through a Spanish-speaking area of Chicago .
The next day , October 11 , the Weathermen attempted to reignite the protests , but were quickly sealed off by Chicago ’ s finest .
Approximately half of the crowd were arrested in 15 minutes .
It was after the events of the Days of Rage that the Weathermen became the Weather Underground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would imply .
At a meeting known as the Flint War Council , which was attended by Barack Obama advisor William Ayers , taking place between December 27 and 31 , 1969 , the Weathermen dissolved their version of SDS , changed their name to the Weather Underground and declared that they would engage in guerilla warfare against the United States government .
Before continuing with the laundry list of terrorist actions carried out by the Weather Underground , it is worth briefly explaining their ideology .
The Weather Underground was not a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Maoist group .
Their cues came more from the American New Left .
Thus , much like the radicals creating chaos in American cities in the 2020s , they were far more focused on opposition to the American state , “ white privilege ” and “ white supremacy ” than they were in creating bonds across the working class .
In this regard , they differed both from the Maoism of the Progressive Labor Party ( made up of former members of the Communisty Party , USA , who supported Mao against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the American labor movement ) and the so-called “ New Communist Movement ” ( comprised of younger student activists sympathetic toward Maoism and Third Worldism , but without organic ties to the existing Communist left and the labor movement ) .
They did not , as some other groups in both Maoism proper and the New Communist Movement did , seek either ties with the American working class ( which they largely considered “ bought off by imperialism ” ) or the official sanction of Beijing ( a long-term goal of both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are three important takeaways from all of this inside baseball : • The Weather Underground considered the American government to be fascist .
• They believed that American military and civil government institutions should be treated in an identical manner to how the Viet Cong would treat the American military .
• The American working class , in particular the white American working class , was considered apathetic and useless at best , but generally more considered an active opponent of revolution – thoroughly reactionary and thus , the enemy .
The Weathermen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first year after the Flint War Council , the Weather Underground engaged in a series of over a dozen bombings or attempted bombings throughout the United States .
While supporters of the Weather Underground generally attempt to downplay the significance of the bombings , the group attacked courthouses , the New York Police Headquarters , the Pentagon and the headquarters of the National Guard .
Additionally , police found multiple bomb factories designed to aid the guerilla efforts of the group .
While 1970 was a highwater year for the group , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Weather Underground did not disband until 1977 .
There were dozens of terrorist attacks carried out in the years between 1970 and 1977 .
It would be impossible to talk about them all in detail without writing an entire book on the subject .
However , some of them are worth pulling out from the pack to discuss individually : • New York City Arson Attacks : The home of New York Supreme Court Justice John M. Murtagh was attacked with Molotov cocktails .
Judge Murtagh was the presiding judge of pretrial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planning a bombing campaign against the city .
There were additional attacks against the Columbia University ’ s International Law Library , Army and Navy recruiting booths and a parked police car in the city .
• Timothy Leary Jailbreak : Acting as hired mercenaries for The Brotherhood of Eternal Love , a psychedelic drug distribution enterprise , the Weather Underground broke Timothy Leary out of jail for $ 20,000 .
• United States Capitol Bombing : On March 1 , 1971 , the Weather Underground detonated a bomb at the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March 19 , 1972 , the Weather Underground blew up the women ’ s bathroom of the Air Force wing of the Pentagon in commemoration of Ho Chi Minh ’ s birthday and in retaliation for the bombing of Hanoi .
In October 1973 , the federal government dropped most of the charges against the Weather Underground because new restrictions on electronic surveillance ( without a court order handed down from the Supreme Court ) meant that the charges likely would not stick .
A more complete – and voluminous – list of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here .
The Black Liberation Army was formed in 1970 , by members of the Black Panther Party who operated as members of both groups concurrently .
Between 1970 and 1976 , the group was involved in over 70 acts of violence , including the murders of 13 police officers .
Some of their attacks included : • The bombing of the funeral of police officer Harold Hamilton .
• The robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981 .
The May 19th Communist Organization was a reorganized version of the Weather Underground that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apart .
It included members of the Black Liberation Army , the Black Panthers and the Republic of New Afrika , as well as the Weather Underground .
The M19CO was more classically Marxist-Leninist , but no less eager to engage in terrorism .
They broke Assata Shakur , convicted of the murder of a state trooper , out of prison and spirited her to Cuba .
They were also involved in the robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981 , along with the Black Liberation Army , as well as several bombings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ College , the United States Senate , the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center , the South African consulate and the Policemen ’ s Benevolent Association .
Most people know of the Symbionese Liberation Army , if at all , as the group who kidnapped and brainwashed Patty Hearst .
Beyond this , they are an excellent example of how a small , but committed , cadre of left-wing activists can wreak havoc far and beyond their numbers , which never exceeded 22 .
Their first major action was the assassination of Oakland , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ badly wounding his deputy Robert Blackburn .
The pair were attacked with cyanide-packed hollow point rounds as they left a school committee meeting .
Foster , the first black superintendent of schools in Oakland , was assassinated because the SLA believed he was going to introduce identity cards in the school system , which they considered “ fascist ” and which he , in fact , opposed .
Their most famous action was the kidnapping of Hearst publishing heiress Patty Hearst in 1974 .

But this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
” The urban unrest , which has rocked America in the early 2020s , is nothing new .
The 1960s saw both race riots and left-wing terrorist groups looking to exploit animosity between racial groups in America .
The question is what are we going to do about it ?
The answer so far from our elected officials is “ not much.

The answer remains to be seen , but will certainly be some variant of “ nothing good .

And while the similarities may not be terribly striking yet, astute readers of this article will quickly see the world in which we live more and more closely resembling the Days of Rage.
The Days of Rage
The Days of Rage were in fact a short and discrete period of time – three days of demonstrations that took place on October 8 through 11, 1969. Throughout this article, we will discuss events that took place both before and after the Days of Rage, but consider this period a sort of “coming out” party for the Weathermen, also known as the Weather Underground.

Tensions ran high because the stakes were high – nothing less than total control of the largest student radical organization in America and all of the spoils that came along with that. Many within the Weathermen faction of RYM II believed that they were fighting literal fascism coming to America in the form of President Richard Nixon.
Sound familiar yet? It’s about to sound a lot more so.
On October 6, 1969, a statue memorializing a police officer killed during the 1886 Haymarket riots was blown up. No one ever figured out who committed this act of iconoclasm, but the tangible effect of the act of political terrorism was the final isolation of the Weather Underground from the rest of the SDS.
The Weathermen then shifted their activity to the Days of Rage, a protest rally with the slogans “Bring The War Home!” Many wielded lead pipes and were clad in football helmets, ready for a confrontation with the police.
Turnout was disappointing. The Weathermen expected a massive turnout, but only got about 800, who stared down 2,000 Chicago police likely itching for another fight after the 1968 Democratic Convention. By the first night, about 500 had deserted the protest, with about half of the remaining 300 being Weathermen from around the country.
Abbie Hoffman and John Froines, two members of the Chicago Seven, showed up, but declined to speak and left. The remaining hardcore of Weathermen and their supporters shifted the goalposts to simply fighting the police as constituting victory.
At 10:25 p.m., Jeff Jones, one of the leaders of the Weathermen, gave the signal and chaos erupted. The crowd moved through the city, smashing windows of ordinary cars and middle-class homes throughout Chicago, as well as small businesses such as barber shops.
The next day, October 9, a “Women’s Militia” comprised of about 70 female Weathermen planned to attack a draft board office, but were prevented from doing so by the Chicago Police Department.

The next day, October 11, the Weathermen attempted to reignite the protests, but were quickly sealed off by Chicago’s finest. Approximately half of the crowd were arrested in 15 minutes.
It was after the events of the Days of Rage that the Weathermen became the Weather Underground and began moving underground as the name would imply. At a meeting known as the Flint War Council, which was attended by Barack Obama advisor William Ayers, taking place between December 27 and 31, 1969, the Weathermen dissolved their version of SDS, changed their name to the Weather Underground and declared that they would engage in guerilla warfare against the United States government.
Before continuing with the laundry list of terrorist actions carried out by the Weather Underground, it is worth briefly explaining their ideology. The Weather Underground was not a classically Marxist nor, strictly speaking, a Maoist group. Their cues came more from the American New Left. Thus, much like the radicals creating chaos in American cities in the 2020s, they were far more focused on opposition to the American state, “white privilege” and “white supremacy” than they were in creating bonds across the working class.
In this regard, they differed both from the Maoism of the Progressive Labor Party (made up of former members of the Communisty Party, USA, who supported Mao against Kruschev and thus had very real ties to the American labor movement) and the so-called “New Communist Movement” (comprised of younger student activists sympathetic toward Maoism and Third Worldism, but without organic ties to the existing Communist left and the labor movement). They did not, as some other groups in both Maoism proper and the New Communist Movement did, seek either ties with the American working class (which they largely considered “bought off by imperialism”) or the official sanction of Beijing (a long-term goal of both Maoists and New Communists).
There are three important takeaways from all of this inside baseball:

The American working class, in particular the white American working class, was considered apathetic and useless at best, but generally more considered an active opponent of revolution – thoroughly reactionary and thus, the enemy.
The Weathermen After the Days of Rage
In the first year after the Flint War Council, the Weather Underground engaged in a series of over a dozen bombings or attempted bombings throughout the United States. While supporters of the Weather Underground generally attempt to downplay the significance of the bombings, the group attacked courthouses, the New York Police Headquarters, the Pentagon and the headquarters of the National Guard. Additionally, police found multiple bomb factories designed to aid the guerilla efforts of the group. While 1970 was a highwater year for the group, there were other years of increased activity and the Weather Underground did not disband until 1977.

New York City Arson Attacks: The home of New York Supreme Court Justice John M. Murtagh was attacked with Molotov cocktails. Judge Murtagh was the presiding judge of pretrial hearings for 21 Black Panthers accused of planning a bombing campaign against the city. There were additional attacks against the Columbia University’s International Law Library, Army and Navy recruiting booths and a parked police car in the city.

The bombing of the funeral of police officer Harold Hamilton.
The hijacking of Delta Air Lines Flight 841.
The robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981.
May 19th Communist Organization
The May 19th Communist Organization was a reorganized version of the Weather Underground that emerged after the latter began to fall apart. It included members of the Black Liberation Army, the Black Panthers and the Republic of New Afrika, as well as the Weather Underground.
The M19CO was more classically Marxist-Leninist, but no less eager to engage in terrorism. They broke Assata Shakur, convicted of the murder of a state trooper, out of prison and spirited her to Cuba. They were also involved in the robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981, along with the Black Liberation Army, as well as several bombings, including those of the National War College, the United States Senate, the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center, the South African consulate and the Policemen’s Benevolent Association.
Symbionese Liberation Army
Most people know of the Symbionese Liberation Army, if at all, as the group who kidnapped and brainwashed Patty Hearst. Beyond this, they are an excellent example of how a small, but committed, cadre of left-wing activists can wreak havoc far and beyond their numbers, which never exceeded 22.
Their first major action was the assassination of Oakland, CA superintendent of schools Marcus Foster and badly wounding his deputy Robert Blackburn. The pair were attacked with cyanide-packed hollow point rounds as they left a school committee meeting. Foster, the first black superintendent of schools in Oakland, was assassinated because the SLA believed he was going to introduce identity cards in the school system, which they considered “fascist” and which he, in fact, opposed.

The Hearst family took out a loan to do so, which would have cost $400 million, but the operation descended into chaos and the SLA refused to free her. The group sometimes restricted Hearst to a dark closet for weeks at a time. She was raped both by leader Donald DeFreeze (“Cinque”) and Willie Wolfe (“Kahjoh”).
When recovered, Hearst had an IQ of 112, as compared to 130 before her abduction. She chain smoked, had a flattened affect and had trouble remembering significant parts of her pre-SLA life. She weighed 87 pounds when apprehended.
The group committed a number of bank robberies both before and after Hearst’s kidnapping.
The Lost History of American Leftist Terrorism
Most Americans have never heard of these acts of terrorism from leftist groups that were so numerous throughout the 1970s. But this is a prime example of “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” The urban unrest, which has rocked America in the early 2020s, is nothing new. The 1960s saw both race riots and left-wing terrorist groups looking to exploit animosity between racial groups in America.
The question is what are we going to do about it? The answer so far from our elected officials is “not much.” If leftist terrorist cells were willing to go this far when they had active opposition from government and corporate figures alike, what are they going to do when confronted with apathy or encouragement from elected officials and the business sector?
The answer remains to be seen, but will certainly be some variant of “nothing good.”

Over the past week, we saw how a group of doctors experienced George Orwell’s 1984 Ministry of Truth’s Memory Hole and attacks like we’ve not seen in quite a while. From the scrubbing of their videos on social media to some of them being fired from their jobs for exposing the lies of media, politicians and the World Health Organization, they have met the lies with the truth. However, there is a long term plan to silence doctors once and for all so that they no longer are a threat to those who stand to gain money and power from lying to the public.
Investigative journalist Spiro Skouras has the story.
Last week an organization of doctors called America’s Frontline Doctors went to Washington DC and gave a press release in front of the Supreme Court.
What this group of doctors said directly contradicted official positions of the World Health Organization and the Centers For Disease Control regarding the coronavirus and treatment of the infection as the new experimental vaccine could arrive before the end of the year.
Members of the doctors’ organization have been fired from their jobs, they have had their website removed and the viral video has been almost scrubbed from the internet.
It appears that censoring doctors who speak out against the medical establishment may only be a temporary solution. Just today, right on time, the World Economic Forum released a video called ‘When Your Doctor Is A Robot.’
Will doctors and nurses one day be replaced by artificial intelligence and robots? After all, robots don’t ask questions… They follow orders.

Three former officers with the department have said that it was common for supervisors to push for arrests to happen during Live PD recordings, instead of off-camera where more peaceful interactions might be possible. One former officer, Gil Unger, complained to his supervisors but says that no one listened to him.
Law enforcement officials and legal experts insist that the tactics used in the Watsky raid are highly unusual.
National law enforcement consultant Jeff Noble said that this raid may not have been necessary, and he fears, “That this was staged for the value of live television.”
“That is not the type of situation to take lightly but, at the same time, it is not the type of situation I would expect a SWAT team to enter a home to make an arrest,” Noble said.
Both Live PD and Cops were taken off the air earlier this year in response to the growing protests against police brutality — when they encourage cops to do things like this, only good can come from it.
In June, TFTP reported on a similar instance with a much more tragic ending. Javier Ambler, a 40-year-old postal worker, was on his way home from a friendly poker game when he allegedly made the mistake of failing to turn off his brights when passing another vehicle.
Ambler’s last moments alive were captured on police body camera footage as well as footage from the crew from A&E’s reality show “Live PD.” He never resisted, posed a threat to cops, or attempted to attack them, yet he was thrown to the ground, repeatedly tasered, and the air squeezed from his body until he fell unconscious and died.

Fauci and Jim Jordan spar over limiting protests due to coronavirus
By Washington Examiner, August 1, 2020
Rep. Jim Jordan pressed Dr. Anthony Fauci on whether he would recommend that the government “limit” protests after the doctor acknowledged large gatherings contribute to the spread of the virus.
“I don’t think that is relevant,” Fauci, the leading infectious disease expert in the nation, responded to the question of limiting protests. “I’m not in a position of what the government should do in a forceful way.”
The Ohio Republican shot back, making the argument that constitutional rights such as practicing religion have been limited, which would suggest that the right to protest could also be restricted.
“Well, you make all kinds of recommendations … government is stopping people from going to church, Dr. Fauci,” Jordan said. “I’m just asking if there is a world where you can favor one First Amendment liberty, protesting, over another, practicing your faith.”
Fauci said he isn’t “favoring anybody over anybody” but simply “making a broad statement to avoid crowds of any type.”
Jordan then pressed Fauci on the violence that has taken place at protests compared with no reports of violence at churches across the country that have been shuddered by coronavirus lockdowns, to which Fauci said he’s not in a position as a public health official to make those determinations.
Jordan posted a video of the exchange on Twitter, saying, “Can’t go to church. Can’t go to work. Can’t go to school. Even Dr. Fauci says protesting is dangerous. But Democrats encourage people to riot and protest in the streets.”

Americans Act Like Sheep While Germans Protest Masks & Lockdowns As Additional Information Points To Fraud On Grand Scale

The country whose ancestors kicked major Hitler booty during World War II is now paralyzed with fear of being sick with an illness that has a mortality rate akin to influenza .
A once-great people that put Mussolini and Hirohito in their place cowers behind masks because fear of getting sick and dying was instilled into the people by various entities .
So , one would guess the posterity of the tucked tail Nazis would be hiding in their homes and basements fearful of even leaving home because of the fear of getting sick .
Your guess would be wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country took to the streets to protest the government tyranny that is crippling the country because of COVID-19 .
The video of peaceful protestors in Berlin decried government censorship of medical scientists and doctors who are attempting to relay accurate information to the people around the globe , as well as protesting mandatory mask orders and social distancing dictates .
One commenter on the video wrote , “ Sorry Americans .
You ’ re not that special anymore ” .
And , that individual would be correct in that assessment .
Watch the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the phrase “ Germans protest pandemic restrictions ” .
Protests over the coronavirus pandemic “ restrictions ” occurred in Stuttgart , Cologne , and Giessen in addition to Berlin .
Moreover , protests are taking place across Europe in the UK and Spain over government mandated lockdowns .
What are Americans doing ?
Many Americans are acting like good little sheeple , donning masks ( masks don ’ t work ) , and engaging in assault against Americans who are not wearing masks .
Assault , used here , means verbal as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at this video , this one , and this one to see verbal confrontations .
Physical assaults are taking place as well from evidence here , here and here .
These same things are probably happening all across the globe , not just here in America among Americans .
However , where are the peaceful protests against these scam-demic draconian unconstitutional unlawful “ mandates ” ?
Individuals are having to stand on their own and educate store staff and other Americans on the law , reminding the sheeple that “ executive orders ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandates ” regarding masks are not law .
Even though stores have relaxed their mask policies , the general mask-wearing public sheeple continue to don masks and engage in harassment of those who are not wearing face coverings .
Individuals protesting unlawful mask mandates and policies are armed with the Constitution , the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , and in some cases , 18 USC § 242 , Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law , to provide education and “ prove ” the law supports liberty of the individual .
Medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t work , require patients to wear the offensive item in order to receive services .
The same with hospitals , outpatient facilities , and urgent care entities .
In other words , the ones who should know better and do know better are perpetuating a myth and engaging in psychological conditioning to produce a false sense of security .
Despite Americans claiming not to trust the lamestream government-controlled propaganda entertainment enemedia ( LGCPEE ) and government , many do exactly what they are told , buying into reports presented by enemedia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public .
These same Americans support the censorship of factual information contradicting the “ official narrative ” and support punishment being exacted on the individuals disseminating the information , even when those individuals are medical doctors treating patients .
In Bulgaria , the Bulgarian Pathology Association released a report confirming that the RT-PCR test the entire world relies on to diagnose COVID-19 is NOT fit for that purpose .
Lockdowns and hygienic measures around the world are based on numbers of cases and mortality rates created by the so-called SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whereby “ positive ” is usually equated with “ infected.
” But looking closely at the facts , the conclusion is that these PCR tests are meaningless as a diagnostic tool to determine an alleged infection by a supposedly new virus called SARS-CoV-2 .
So to start , it is very remarkable that Kary Mullis himself , the inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction ( PCR ) technology , did not think alike .
His invention got him the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1993 .
Unfortunately , Mullis passed away last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is no doubt that the biochemist regarded the PCR as inappropriate to detect a viral infection .
The reason is that the intended use of the PCR was , and still is , to apply it as a manufacturing technique , being able to replicate DNA sequences millions and billions of times , and not as a diagnostic tool to detect viruses .
In 2007 – this was 2007 , The New York Times published an article titled , “ Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn ’ t ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ based on the results of PCR testing could end in disaster .
It chronicles an incident at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center where the PCR test was used in an attempt to confirm a declared pertussis ( Whooping Cough ) pandemic .
The test failed by indicating 142 individuals at the hospital had pertussis .
Through extensive investigation , it was determined none of the hospital employees had pertussis .
Hundreds of employees received unnecessary antibiotics and a pertussis vaccine .
All based on false positive results .
Yet , this is the test being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resulted in a high false positive rate .
Moreover , the PCR test is inappropriate to detect viral infections .
This comes from the inventor of the test himself .
Take time to read “ Was the COVID-19 Test Meant to Detect a Virus ?
” at the site UncoverDC .
It includes an interview with Mullis in 1994 .
Mullis ’ PCR test was used to confirm the HIV virus , which lead to the inaccurate conclusion that HIV was the causative agent of AIDS .
Check out this pertinent excerpt .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Duesberg ’ s most controversial claims .
“ Human beings are full of retroviruses , ” he said , “ We don ’ t know if it is hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands .
We ’ ve only recently started to look for them .
But they ’ ve never killed anybody before .
People have always survived retroviruses.
” Mullis challenged the popular wisdom that the disease-causing mechanisms of HIV are simply too “ mysterious ” to comprehend .
“ The mystery of that damn virus , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been generated by the $ 2 billion a year they spend on it .
You take any other virus , and you spend $ 2 billion , and you can make up some great mysteries about it too.
” Our talk focused on AIDS .
Though Mullis has not been particularly vocal about his HIV skepticism , his convictions have not , to his credit , been muddled or softened by his recent success and mainstream acceptability .
He seems to revel in his newly acquired power .
“ They can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am , ” he says with a chuckle – and by all accounts , he ’ s using that power effectively .
When ABC ’ s “ Nightline ” approached Mullis about participating in a documentary on himself , he instead urged them to focus their attention on the HIV debate .
“ That ’ s a much more important story , ” he told the producers , who up to that point had never acknowledged the controversy .
In the end , “ Nightline ” ran a two-part series , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the HIV debate .
Mullis was hired by ABC for a two-week period , to act as their scientific consultant and direct them to sources .
The show was superb , and represented a historic turning point , possibly even the end of the seven-year media blackout on the HIV debate .
But it still didn ’ t fulfill Mullis ’ ultimate fantasy .
“ What ABC needs to do , ” says Mullis , “ is talk to [ Chairman of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Robert ] Gallo [ one of the discoverers of HIV ] and show that they ’ re assholes , which I could do in ten minutes.
” It appears that Mullis does not have a high opinion of NIAID ’ s Anthony Fauci .
Remember , there is no gold standard for COVID-19 to compare with the PCR tests .
Time and again , Koch ’ s postulates and Rivers postulates have not been met , meaning the causative agent has not been identified .
And , according to the Bulgarian Pathology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the genetic material being identified as COVID-19 as being of a viral origin .
And , where is the American public getting most of the information and recommendations on the COVID-19 ?
That ’ s right – Anthony Fauci , whom Trump pushed forward as the “ expert ” on COVID-19 despite Fauci only dealing with the HIV virus .
And , if you read the article at UncoverDC , you would know that lots of assumptions were made concerning HIV by Fauci and company with little scientific evidence to make that leap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same with COVID-19 with the blessings and confidence afforded by Trump .
Like him or not , David Icke has an interesting take on COVID-19 and the vaccine .
Watch to the video .
Icke theorized that the COVID-19 vaccine has sterilization components in it , which could explain the “ push ” for a vaccine and its administration to be mandatory .
According to Icke , the government will continue lockdowns until you have the vaccine if the vaccine can not be made mandatory .
Icke stated it would be easy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine worked , in the absence of an actual virus .
He spoke about manipulation of test data by changing the amplification of genetic material and then the government would roll back the death count on COVID-19 by changing how the deaths are coded .
In other words , individuals who died in motor vehicle accidents and by other causes would not be classified as COVID-19 deaths .
Icke claimed this is what is planned .
Moreover , this is contained in the first four minutes of the video .
If you think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , not only in the US , but on a global scale for some “ illness ” that not one scientist group has been able to isolate the causative agent .
Icke questioned the speed with which this COVID-19 vaccine has been developed concluding what will be injected into millions was already waiting in the wings for a planned scam-demic .
Again , based on the process a new vaccine has to complete for approval and availability to the public , there is no way this vaccine , even if “ fast tracked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ timeframe Trump keeps touting .
What Icke has claimed is plausible and possible .
Otherwise , why would you put a nonmedical individual at the forefront of providing medical information and counseling to the general public ?
Icke ’ s own research has uncovered the same information regarding the coronavirus/COVID-19 and vaccine as numerous individuals reporting at Sons of Liberty Media .
Moreover , the information uncovered by writers and Icke originates with accepted and published works of medical science researchers and physicians appearing in notable medical science journals and government websites .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not so special after all .
When so many do not know the law and refuse to acknowledge and read the available research , following blindly what someone in government “ demands ” , we have truly lost our spirit of freedom and liberty .
When we accept that government decides who is “ essential ” and who is not , we have relinquished our God-given individual unalienable rights voluntarily – no need for violent force .
And for what – the fraud of a virus on a grand scale Americans today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posted with permission from Sons of Liberty Media

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-03--Getting Coronavirus for Your Political Sins

When Rep. Ben McAdams tested positive for coronavirus and was hospitalized , there was very little interest even though the Utah Democrat was one of the first House members to suffer from serious symptoms .
But the media would rather tell punitive coronavirus allegories about people who not only got the virus but , in their telling , deserved to get it for their political sins .
Like Republicans .
That ’ s why when Rep. Louie Gohmert tested positive , without actually having any symptoms , the national media pounced on the story with headlines that emphasized the false @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been wearing a mask , even though he actually did wear a mask at House sessions .
“ Anti-Mask Louie Gohmert Tests Positive , ” the New York Times gloated .
“ Rep .
Louie Gohmert , who often went without a mask , tests positive for the coronavirus , ” NBC News chittered .
“ Texas Republican Rep. Gohmert Tests Positive For Coronavirus After Rebuffing Masks , ” NPR scolded .
The implication is that Rep. Gohmert ’ s skepticism about masks somehow led to him testing positive .
Or , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Louie Gohmert case provides a lesson on masks.
” Does it ?
None of the media outlets prone to sneeringly fact-checking Republicans and to accusing President Trump of having told ten-thousand lies since last Tuesday , have any idea how Rep. Gohmert came to contract the virus .
Did he contract it when he was or wasn ’ t wearing a mask ?
A number of other members of the House and the Senate have tested positive for the virus .
Like Rep. McAdams .
Did testing positive for the virus prove that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or is that only Republicans ?
Facts are tedious things that journalists used to be interested in before they got into hatebait .
The unmistakable point of the Gohmert story is that bad people don ’ t wear masks and therefore get the virus .
The story is even better if those people are Republicans who questioned the utility of masks .
When Bill Montgomery , a senior adviser to Turning Point USA , passed away at the age of 80 from coronavirus complications , media hatebait pieces lambasted Charlie Kirk , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the effectiveness of masks , as if that had something to do with Montgomery ’ s death .
“ Bill Montgomery , co-founder of pro-Trump , Turning Point USA , scoffed at virus .
Died of Covid , ” CNN ’ s Ana Navarro tweeted .
Media hatebait implicitly depicts the virus as an agent punishing those who scoff at the expert class .
Back when the expert class was warning everyone not to wear masks , the virus was singling out and punishing those who went to church or protested for statewide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ReOpen NC ’ activist tests positive for coronavirus ” , “ Co-founder of Maryland group that protested for state to reopen tests positive for coronavirus ” , and “ Pastor Who Defied Social Distancing Dies After Contracting Virus ” are typical examples of media narratives that depict the virus as a punitive force .
In a country where over 5 million people have tested positive and over 150,000 people have died , the hatebait selects a handful of political opponents and makes them into the faces of the pandemic .
Leftists would claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deserved until they ’ re asked whether it also applies to African-Americans who are dying of the virus at three times the rate of white people .
But , just as in the tale of two congressmen who tested positive , it ’ s different when you hate them .
While the media blew up every single Reopen activist diagnosis , all two of them , into national news stories , the reports of Black Lives Matter activists coming down with the virus don ’ t get that treatment .
You have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organizers at South Carolina rallies by the Black Lives Matter hate group had become infected .
If they had been Reopen protesters , you would have heard about it on CNN , read about it in the Washington Post , and seen it blow up all over social media .
Instead , the media is still loudly claiming that there ’ s no evidence that the massive Black Lives Matter protests in high-risk cities , among high-risk populations , in which thousands of extremists clumped closely together were shouting at the top of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus .
If a conservative had suggested such a thing , he would have been dubbed a dangerous conspiracy theorist and a danger to public health who needed to be urgently censored by Facebook and YouTube .
But , as usual , it ’ s different when the Democrat media does it .
Question the effectiveness of wearing a mask and you ’ re a terrible person and a public health risk .
But loudly assert that the virus doesn ’ t spread at social justice rallies and you ’ re just following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ magazine recently urged that “ every brother and sister , even children , can contribute to Allah ’ s cause by becoming the carriers of this disease ” and spread it to non-Muslims “ so that they are forced to bow down before Allah ’ s rule before they are wiped out from the earth.
” Those Muslims worrying that virus suicide bombing might kill them are assured that , “ no disease can harm even a hair of a believer.
” This is the same logic that the Washington Post uses to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread the virus .
It is readily apparent to hatebait lefties that bad beliefs spread the virus .

When Rep. Ben McAdams tested positive for coronavirus and was hospitalized, there was very little interest even though the Utah Democrat was one of the first House members to suffer from serious symptoms. But the media would rather tell punitive coronavirus allegories about people who not only got the virus but, in their telling, deserved to get it for their political sins. Like Republicans.
That’s why when Rep. Louie Gohmert tested positive, without actually having any symptoms, the national media pounced on the story with headlines that emphasized the false claim that the Texas Republican had not been wearing a mask, even though he actually did wear a mask at House sessions.
“Anti-Mask Louie Gohmert Tests Positive,” the New York Times gloated. “Rep. Louie Gohmert, who often went without a mask, tests positive for the coronavirus,” NBC News chittered. “Texas Republican Rep. Gohmert Tests Positive For Coronavirus After Rebuffing Masks,” NPR scolded.
The implication is that Rep. Gohmert’s skepticism about masks somehow led to him testing positive.
Or, as a Washington Examiner editorial hectored, “Louie Gohmert case provides a lesson on masks.”
Does it? None of the media outlets prone to sneeringly fact-checking Republicans and to accusing President Trump of having told ten-thousand lies since last Tuesday, have any idea how Rep. Gohmert came to contract the virus. Did he contract it when he was or wasn’t wearing a mask?
A number of other members of the House and the Senate have tested positive for the virus. Like Rep. McAdams. Did testing positive for the virus prove that he’s a bad man, or is that only Republicans?
Facts are tedious things that journalists used to be interested in before they got into hatebait.
The unmistakable point of the Gohmert story is that bad people don’t wear masks and therefore get the virus. The story is even better if those people are Republicans who questioned the utility of masks.
When Bill Montgomery, a senior adviser to Turning Point USA, passed away at the age of 80 from coronavirus complications, media hatebait pieces lambasted Charlie Kirk, the group’s leader, for questioning the effectiveness of masks, as if that had something to do with Montgomery’s death.
“Bill Montgomery, co-founder of pro-Trump, Turning Point USA, scoffed at virus. Died of Covid,” CNN’s Ana Navarro tweeted.
Media hatebait implicitly depicts the virus as an agent punishing those who scoff at the expert class. Back when the expert class was warning everyone not to wear masks, the virus was singling out and punishing those who went to church or protested for statewide reopenings by infecting them.
“‘ReOpen NC’ activist tests positive for coronavirus”, “Co-founder of Maryland group that protested for state to reopen tests positive for coronavirus”, and “Pastor Who Defied Social Distancing Dies After Contracting Virus” are typical examples of media narratives that depict the virus as a punitive force.
In a country where over 5 million people have tested positive and over 150,000 people have died, the hatebait selects a handful of political opponents and makes them into the faces of the pandemic.
Leftists would claim that such a message is justified and deserved until they’re asked whether it also applies to African-Americans who are dying of the virus at three times the rate of white people.
But, just as in the tale of two congressmen who tested positive, it’s different when you hate them.
While the media blew up every single Reopen activist diagnosis, all two of them, into national news stories, the reports of Black Lives Matter activists coming down with the virus don’t get that treatment.
You have to dig pretty deep to learn that four organizers at South Carolina rallies by the Black Lives Matter hate group had become infected. If they had been Reopen protesters, you would have heard about it on CNN, read about it in the Washington Post, and seen it blow up all over social media.
Instead, the media is still loudly claiming that there’s no evidence that the massive Black Lives Matter protests in high-risk cities, among high-risk populations, in which thousands of extremists clumped closely together were shouting at the top of their lungs, could have spread the virus.
If a conservative had suggested such a thing, he would have been dubbed a dangerous conspiracy theorist and a danger to public health who needed to be urgently censored by Facebook and YouTube.
But, as usual, it’s different when the Democrat media does it.
Question the effectiveness of wearing a mask and you’re a terrible person and a public health risk. But loudly assert that the virus doesn’t spread at social justice rallies and you’re just following the “science”.
Some science. Somewhere.
An ISIS magazine recently urged that “every brother and sister, even children, can contribute to Allah’s cause by becoming the carriers of this disease” and spread it to non-Muslims “so that they are forced to bow down before Allah’s rule before they are wiped out from the earth.” Those Muslims worrying that virus suicide bombing might kill them are assured that, “no disease can harm even a hair of a believer.”
This is the same logic that the Washington Post uses to claim that BLM protests can’t spread the virus.
It is readily apparent to hatebait lefties that bad beliefs spread the virus. That’s why, even though California tops the virus charts, the media has been lambasting Florida’s Republican governor.
If a sharp increase in a virus cases, hospitalizations, and deaths mean political malpractice by state and local officials, then why has the media failed to take Governor Newsom or Mayor Garcetti to task?
California’s pandemic spike has been studiously minimized by the national media.
“Coronavirus ravaged Florida, as Ron DeSantis sidelined scientists and followed Trump,” the Washington Post headline howled. And, in another red state, “Georgia hospitals groan under COVID-19 assault.”
But what about California, which has the biggest numbers?
“California, Oregon roll back reopenings,” the Bezos paper timidly reports.
Hospitals in blue states don’t groan and aren’t ravaged even though the majority of deaths have taken place in blue states. Republican governors sideline scientists, Democrat governors roll back reopenings.
Coronavirus crushes red states for their folly, but only inconveniences good mask-wearers in blue states.
Even beyond the red and blue paradigm, media hatebait thrives. “They defied health rules for a SF wedding. The virus didn’t spare them,” a San Francisco Chronicle article gloated.
The story of a couple who insisted on marrying with 80 guests in a Catholic church that could seat 800, with blocked off pews, masks, and other precautions, quickly became viral hatebait that was recirculated by other media outlets scolding the couple who selfishly wanted a storybook wedding.
Except the wedding actually took place outside on a basketball court with people watching from their cars after a San Francisco official shut down the service in a dispute with the Catholic Church.
The article’s only evidence that the basketball ceremony spread the virus is that the couple, and eight guests tested positive. That might mean more if San Francisco hadn’t been in the middle of a major virus spike. In one part of the city, 8% of residents had tested positive. That’s similar to the wedding numbers.
“The potentially exposed guests flew back to Nashville, Arizona and San Diego, hot spots of the pandemic, potentially spreading the virus,” the Chronicle ominously informs readers.
But did they spread the virus or did they pick up the virus in those hot spots?
The media’s hatebaiters are uninterested in questions like these. Coronavirus hatebait stories are not built on facts: they use the façade of journalism for moral panics in a time when many are afraid.
As in the classic Twilight Zone episode, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, the media shrieks that the monsters spreading the virus are coming. And they’re always different than us: teenagers partying on Florida beaches, Catholic couples marrying in a San Francisco church, or Chassidic Jews escorting the coffin of their beloved leader in Brooklyn. Unlike Black Lives Matter rioters or Latino meatpackers, they are the sorts of people that tolerant progressives are allowed and even encouraged to hate.
Believing that the virus is not politically neutral provides believers, whether they’re ISIS members or Washington Post subscribers, with a sense of control and a perverse feeling of triumph at the death toll. Wearing a mask has become a symbol of faith in an expert class which has failed miserably at every turn and immunity from a virus which media hatebait assures them can only strike wicked Republicans.
That’s why the smart set in California and New York are mingling at crowded parties whose participants expect the virus to kill all the Trump voters by Election Day because that’s what the hatebait tells them.
And it’s why Al Sharpton and 100,000 protesters from, among others, a teachers union and a postal workers union, will converge on Washington D.C. to crowd around the Lincoln Memorial for 6 hours.
It’s a good thing that they’re all politically immune to the virus.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-03--Survey: Funding Being Reduced For “Nearly Half” Of All Major City Police Departments In America

In recent weeks there has been a tremendous amount of debate about whether police departments around the country should be “ defunded ” or not , but what most Americans don ’ t realize is that it is already happening on a massive scale .

In recent weeks there has been a tremendous amount of debate about whether police departments around the country should be “defunded” or not, but what most Americans don’t realize is that it is already happening on a massive scale. At a time when crime rates are absolutely soaring and civil unrest is raging in major cities across the nation, police budgets are being deeply cut and in some cities, there is talk of eliminating police departments altogether. I knew that a few cities had already made moves in this direction, but I had no idea that it was happening on such a widespread basis. According to a report prepared by the Police Executive Research Forum, nearly half of the law enforcement agencies that they surveyed “are reporting that funding has already been slashed or is expected to be reduced”…
Nearly half of 258 agencies surveyed this month are reporting that funding has already been slashed or is expected to be reduced, according to a report slated for release this week by the Police Executive Research Forum, a non-partisan research organization. Much of the funding is being pulled from equipment, hiring and training accounts, even as a number of cities also are tracking abrupt spikes in violent crime, the report concluded.
And in most cases, we are not talking about small cuts. Police funding in Los Angeles has been reduced by 15o million dollars, and police funding in New York has been slashed by a total of one billion dollars.
Those are staggering numbers.
In Seattle, there had been a proposal to cut police funding by 50 percent, but apparently that wasn’t good enough for some people and so now a measure has been introduced that would completely “abolish the entire Seattle Police Department”…
BREAKING: Seattle City Council moves to abolish the entire Seattle Police Department and replace it with a “civilian led Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention.” They want to replace the police force with nonprofit programs and “community-led activities.”
If you live in the Seattle area and you are concerned that in the future you may not have anyone to call if someone breaks into your home, you can rest assured that someone will still be on the other end of the line when you call 911.
But instead of a police officer with a gun responding to your call, you may have a “community safety official” armed with “science” and “reason” come pedaling out to your place on his or her bike to perform a “mental health evaluation” on the individual that you are having a “disagreement” with.
Minneapolis is another major city that is considering doing away with the police entirely, but for now, the MPD is still operating. However, right now they are being completely overwhelmed by a massive crime wave that has erupted in the city, and in a recent email to 3rd precinct residents they told citizens to be “prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet”…
“Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet,” the police said in their email, a copy of which was obtained by Alpha News. The email said citizens should listen to criminals and “do as they say.” The message warned that “some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and some threatened with a gun.”
I don’t know about you, but I would not have been comforted if I had received that email.
Chicago is dealing with an enormous crime wave as well. At this point, so many people are being gunned down in the city that it is making headlines all over the globe…
Data released on Saturday showed that Chicago saw 440 homicides between January 2020 through the end of June, a 52 percent increase from the same time period last year (which saw 290 homicides). Shooting victims similarly increased by 51 percent (1,480 to 2,240) and shooting incidents themselves rose 47 percent (from 1,210 to 1,783).
In Los Angeles, it is property crime that is making headlines, and the latest numbers show that auto thefts in the city hit an all-time record high last quarter…
A COVID-19-induced recession, with exceptionally high unemployment in Los Angeles, has resulted in record-high auto thefts in 2Q20. A new report via Crosstown LA, who examined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) data, reveals that 5,744 vehicle thefts occurred between April and June, up 57.7% from the same period last year.
But it really isn’t fair to point out just a couple of cities because the crime wave that we are facing is actually national in scope.
Never before have we seen such a dramatic spike in crime in such a short period of time. The following comes from Fox News…
A host of other cities — Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle — also saw spikes in shootings and murders, according to public data. “I think it’s just a perfect storm of distress in America,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in July. In her city, the police department reported a 240 percent increase in murders (from 5 to 17) when comparing a four-week period ending in July 2019 to the same timeframe this year. New York City, meanwhile, saw a 277 percent increase in shootings (from 13 to 49) when observing the year-over-year change for one week in July.
In such an environment, does it really make sense to “defund the police”?
Unfortunately, you and I are not the ones making the decisions, and right now police budgets are being dramatically slashed from coast to coast.
Meanwhile, civil unrest continues to simmer in many of our largest cities. For example, protesters in Portland just made headlines by burning an American flag and a Bible…
Protesters burned an American flag and a Bible in Portland, Oregon, sparking outrage just as weeks of violent demonstrations seemed to be coming to a close. For more than 60 days, Black Lives Matters demonstrators, including a “Wall of Moms” and a “Wall of Vets,” have clashed with federal agents in the city, drawing national attention as authorities blasted marchers with tear gas and the civilians at times responded with weapons of their own — such as feces, bleach, bricks or batteries.
Sadly, what we have experienced so far is just the beginning. The upcoming election certainly has the potential to trigger more protests and more riots, and the severe economic downturn that we are currently experiencing will add fuel to the fire as well.
Everywhere you look, people are angry and frustrated, and our society seems to be coming apart at the seams all around us.
It is at such a moment that politicians all over America have decided to radically cut police funding, and needless to say this is going to have very serious implications for every man, woman and child in the entire country.
