Furthermore, they are not only understood to be “global,” but also “international.”
Wikipedia’s description of BLM is:
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international human rights movement, originating from within the African-American community, which campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. BLM regularly holds protests speaking out against police brutality and police killings of black people, and broader issues such as racial profiling, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system.[1]
Joe Hoft points out that the money the website takes in goes through a middle man, ActBlue, and that ActBlue supports the DNC.
When you click on the “Donate” button on blacklivesmatter.com you are sent to an “ActBlue” donations page:
You can even read that the donations are being made to ActBlue in the fine print.
ActBlue has several entities under the overarching name ActBlue. The terms and conditions of the charity arm of the organization mention “Campaign Finance Laws”:

When you research the expenditures of the ActBlue PAC, all of their contributions are directly going to top DNC campaigns:

While ActBlue has a charity arm, it also includes a PAC and a 501(c)4.
It appears more accurately to be a funding arm of the DNC.
(Do all the individuals around the world know that when they donate to Black Lives Matter, they are also helping to fund an organization that supports the Democrat Party?)
This is just another corrupt wing of the Democrat Party.
The obvious question should be, why is no one in a position of authority doing anything to put a stop to it? Is it because many in those positions are just as corrupt as those involved in this money laundering scheme? Probably so.

Sawant has been calling on Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign over “ violence and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s response to the “ overwhelmingly peaceful ” riots they have seen in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis .
In a press release last week , Sawant said that the mayor “ has repeatedly unleashed Seattle police to use ever-escalating violence against ordinary people protesting the police murders of George Floyd , Breonna Taylor and so many other black and brown people.
” “ The police have inflicted tear gas , mace , rubber bullets , flash-bang grenades , curfews , arrests and other repressive tactics on Seattle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an attempt to bully and silence the protest movement , ” she added .
Fairbanks also reported on the takeover of the Sheraton Minneapolis Midtown Hotel on Tuesday .

Anarchists Take Over Seattle Police Station & City Hall As Minneapolis Rioters Take Over Hotel, Raising Over $130,000 To Turn It Into An Operations Base
This is what happens when those charged with enforcing the law become more concerned with terrorizing law-abiding citizens rather than dealing with criminals committing the crimes. As a police station and city hall are overtaken by rioters in Seattle, the latter with the aid of treasonous councilmember, a hotel in Minneapolis has been taken over, and they’ve raised over $130,000 to turn it into an operations base. GoFundMe refuses to pull the fundraiser for these terrorists.
First, let’s take the story of what is going on in Seattle, Washington.
RT has the story about the police station:
After police in Seattle, Washington retreated from the Capitol Hill neighborhood, protesters took over the abandoned ‘regime’ precinct and erected barricades to mark an ‘autonomous zone’ for several blocks around it.
Six blocks of downtown Seattle have been declared the ‘Free Capitol Hill Zone’ or ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’ (CHAZ), according to area activists that have taken control of Seattle PD’s East Precinct, on 12th Avenue and E. Pine Street.
Journalist Julio Rosas tweeted photos from the ‘zone,’ including flyers demanding that Seattle PD be defunded, and declaring that police “will always be racist because capitalism requires inequality.”

Journalist Andy Ngo described the group in control of the area as “Antifa,” and cited tweets to suggest there were armed guards among them.

The report of armed personnel seems to have been confirmed by another activist, who said that members of the John Brown Gun Club – a leftist militia also known as Redneck Revolt – “showed up to offer help, some armed.”
Sympathizers have described the atmosphere inside the zone as “wonderful” and peaceful, more like a concert than anything else.
Visited the autonomous Capitol Hill in #Seattle this morning Absolutely unreal energy there- organizers are protecting the barricades by sitting peacefully. Food, water, ponchos, and medical supplies everywhere. People listening to music and talking. It’s wonderful. pic.twitter.com/uEvoB9A0r2 — Peachy Keen (@CreamPeachesand) June 9, 2020
“Police want you to think that without them there will be chaos. But what if without them there was peace?” mused Resistance activist Joshua Potash, holding up Seattle as an example of what Democrat demands to ‘defund police’ might produce.
Pay attention to Seattle. After days of protest the police abandoned the center of town. What happened next? People set up barricades, bathrooms, handed out food + water. Police want you to think that without them there will be chaos. But what if without them there was peace? — Joshua Potash (@JoshuaPotash) June 9, 2020
Police Chief Carmen Best confirmed that her department evacuated the precinct on Monday evening as an exercise in “trust and de-escalation.”
Two days earlier, Seattle PD used flash-bangs and pepper spray to push back demonstrators at 11th Avenue and Pine Street, just a block away, after they had moved a security barricade and allegedly threw objects at officers. Protesters insisted that tear gas had been used, but police denied it, saying they had not violated the 30-day moratorium on the substance declared by Mayor Jenny Durkan, a Democrat.
City authorities may be expecting the activists to disperse, but the barricades and the content of their social media suggest they intend to stay. Local businesses and residents have “agreed to disaffiliate from Seattle basically,” in the words of one activist, who called it a “flux state in the making” – a reference to an anarchist commune from the fiction series ‘Shadowrun.’
Maps of the zone apparently made by the activists refer to ‘Captured Regime East Precinct’ and also use ‘regime’ to refer to reported police positions.

Democrats have ruled Seattle for almost 50 years. The current city council has eight Democrats and one socialist.
Meanwhile, Seattle’s City Hall was opened to rioters by Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, who used her own key to unlock the building and let Antifa and Black Lives Matter inside.

Cassandra Fairbanks reports:
Protesters and rioters have been allowed into Seattle’s City Hall after Councilwoman Kshama Sawant used her key to unlock the building and allow them inside.
Sawant has been calling on Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign over “violence and brutality” by police in the city’s response to the “overwhelmingly peaceful” riots they have seen in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
In a press release last week, Sawant said that the mayor “has repeatedly unleashed Seattle police to use ever-escalating violence against ordinary people protesting the police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many other black and brown people.”
“The police have inflicted tear gas, mace, rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades, curfews, arrests and other repressive tactics on Seattle activists and residents — including children — in an attempt to bully and silence the protest movement,” she added.
Fairbanks also reported on the takeover of the Sheraton Minneapolis Midtown Hotel on Tuesday.
The Antifa militants and rioters claimed that they were given permission by the owner to take over the building after they opted to flee the city and evacuate their property, but they were evicted by the owner on Tuesday following a drug overdose in the building.
While armored vehicles rolled down Lake Street, our south Minneapolis community stood together to turn this Midtown… Posted by Minneapolis Sanctuary Hotel on Sunday, June 7, 2020
On the GoFundMe page, the organizers claim that rioters who were fleeing from police had entered the hotel on Friday, May 29.
“They finally found refuge in a hotel a few blocks away. Throughout the night, people came in with harrowing stories of terror from police and other white supremacists. The National Guard shot rubber bullets at our community members who stood outside to protect the building. So much of our beloved Lake Street burned around us,” the GoFundMe campaign says. “The next morning, we learned that the hotel owners planned to evacuate, but so much of the community was still in need of shelter. With the owner’s gracious support, people stepped forward and created a mutual aid community care system.”
However, the Star Tribune reports that “the hotel owner, Jay Patel, bought it earlier this year and was in the process of rebranding it, according to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. While volunteers are looking to keep the shelter running permanently, Patel told the Business Journal this week he does not plan to keep it as a shelter for long.”
The group claimed to be sheltering over 200 homeless and displaced people.
On a Facebook page made for the commandeered hotel, the rioters wrote “there is no going back to how things were – this isn’t a hotel anymore, this is a mutual aid community care resource made possible by George Floyd.”
The anarchists now say that they want someone to buy them another hotel.
The Star Tribune reports that “Patel and a team of volunteers had grown increasingly stressed and exhausted accommodating guests, many who were dealing with mental illness and substance use problems, Delaney said. There were about 35 to 40 volunteers staffing the hotel at a time, but many of them were also organizing in other ways following Floyd’s death.”
We’ve seen this one before, haven’t we? Someone behind the scenes is funding this. The hotel owner didn’t just do this out of the goodness of his heart. We all know it and we all know that Antifa and BLM are funded from inside and outside the US. The question is, when are those with the authority going to put a stop to that funding and arrest all involved and bring them to justice?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-10--No, We’re Not All In This Together:  Governors Running Lockdowns Are Not With Us

No , We ’ re Not All In This Together : Governors Running Lockdowns Are Not With Us “ We ’ re All In This Together , ” the sappy title of one of several bad songs , has become the Ministry of Information slogan of the pandemic .
You hear it while shopping for groceries at the supermarket , see it on billboards that tell you to social distance your way off the street , and in every single ad on TV .
And then , after months of being locked indoors and that we were out to kill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same media lauded massive numbers of rioters crowding together to curse the cops .
The political fiction of the pandemic died once its administrators found a shiny new fascist object .
Mayor Bill de Blasio went from threatening the Orthodox Jewish community for holding a funeral to appearing without a mask at an anti-police rally even as much of New York City is still shut down .
“ Mr .
Mayor , are we in a pandemic or not ?
And do we have one set of rules for protesters and another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an Orthodox Jewish publication , asked De Blasio .
“ When you see a nation… grappling with… 400 years of American racism , I ’ m sorry , that is not the same question as… the devout religious person who wants to go back to services , ” he snapped back .
Governor Murphy described anti-lockdown and anti-police protests as being in “ different orbits ” .
Just to be clear , we ’ re not all in this together .
And we never were .
Social distancing doesn ’ t apply when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can only get sick when you ’ re praying to G-d or burying your dead .
The lockdowns existed at the pleasure of the politicians implementing them .
And when the politicians found a lefty cause that they really liked , the rioters and looters were exempted from social distancing like kids told that they can leave algebra class early on Tuesday to go protest for the environment .
Lockdowns were always for little people .
Not for celebrities , politicians or political radicals .
Martha Stewart is quarantining with her driver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ author Neil Gaiman decided that he needed to get away from his wife and flew from New Zealand to Scotland .
David Geffen , the Hollywood billionaire tycoon who helped finance Buttigieg ’ s presidential campaign , tweeted , “ Isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus ” from his $ 590 million yacht which boasts a staff of 55 .
The riots just applied to the rioters and looters the same privilege that politicians had enjoyed .
Governor J.B. Pritzker ’ s wife and daughter enjoyed the lockdown far from Illinois on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then headed to the 230-acre horse farm in Wisconsin that the Illinois boss had bought his wife as an anniversary present .
After claiming that his family deserved privacy and was being endangered by reports of his hypocrisy , the billionaire contended that their travel was essential .
“ We have a working farm .
They ’ re there now .
There are animals on that farm , that it ’ s an essential function to take care of animals at a farm , so that ’ s what they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t explain who was taking care of the horses once his wife and daughter went on to Wisconsin .
Then he banned a reporter who had first tweeted about it from his press conferences .
The same media which had howled in outrage when President Trump had dumped CNN and Playboy correspondents for egregious behavior , including assault , had nothing to say about a free press .
Not only was it essential for Pritzker ’ s family to vacation on one massive horse ranch and then another , but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Wisconsin to help build a huge home on the ranch .
Local residents reported 20 to 30 trucks a day coming from Chicago to labor on this essential project .
“ They ’ re operating an essential function .
Construction is an essential function , ” Pritzker whined .
Around the same time , Pritzker was using the slogan , “ We ’ re all in this together ” to promote his , “ All in Illinois ” initiative to tell everyone to stay home .
“ ‘ All in ’ is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Pritzker had falsely claimed .
“ Illinoisans staying home for the good of each other and the good of our state.
” Unless it ’ s to work on the billionaire governor ’ s latest mansion .
Or loot some Chicago pharmacies .
The difference between essential and non-essential was always a political fiction .
The protesters who were told that their protest was non-essential were just protesting for the wrong cause .
Going to church or synagogue , burying your dead , or protesting for your rights was non-essential in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and family vacations were essential .
What was essential was who was in charge .
We ’ re not all in this together .
Ask New York Governor Cuomo ’ s brother Chris , who casually violated quarantine , and then starred in a fake news CNN video of leaving quarantine for his coronavirus infection .
Ask Virginia ’ s Governor Northam who didn ’ t wear a mask to the beach before ordering everyone to wear masks .
Ask Wisconsin ’ s Justice Rebecca Dallet who opposed the court decision ending the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will pay the price ” , before allegedly going on a boat trip .
Ask New Mexico ’ s Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham who told non-essential businesses they had to shut down and then had a non-essential business open up so she could get some expensive jewelry .
Ask Professor Neil Ferguson of the Imperial College Model who was caught sneaking out for an affair or Chicago ’ s Mayor Lori Lightfoot who got a haircut after shutting down salons and barbershops .
Or ask Dr. Richard ( Rachel ) Levine whose policies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus patients into nursing homes , but made sure to remove his mother from her nursing home .
Michigan ’ s Governor Whitmer had issued orders banning just about everything .
And then a marina operator got a call from her husband about getting their boat in the water for Memorial Day .
“ I am the husband to the governor ; will this make a difference ?
” Whitmer ’ s husband asked .
Governor Whitmer claimed that her husband was joking and that he only traveled to a second home to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same tyrannical termagant whose bans had extended to yardwork .
We ’ re not all in this together .
We never were .
The coronavirus touched Manhattan only lightly .
That was partly because its residents could afford to get away .
When rentals were shut down , they bought houses elsewhere , sight unseen .
About 5 % of New Yorkers , over 400,000 people , left the city , abandoning trendy and wealthy neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn .
The pandemic spread along their wake .

No, We’re Not All In This Together: Governors Running Lockdowns Are Not With Us
“We’re All In This Together,” the sappy title of one of several bad songs, has become the Ministry of Information slogan of the pandemic. You hear it while shopping for groceries at the supermarket, see it on billboards that tell you to social distance your way off the street, and in every single ad on TV.
And then, after months of being locked indoors and that we were out to kill grandma if we left the house, the same media lauded massive numbers of rioters crowding together to curse the cops.
The political fiction of the pandemic died once its administrators found a shiny new fascist object.
Mayor Bill de Blasio went from threatening the Orthodox Jewish community for holding a funeral to appearing without a mask at an anti-police rally even as much of New York City is still shut down.
“Mr. Mayor, are we in a pandemic or not? And do we have one set of rules for protesters and another for everyone else?” Hamodia, an Orthodox Jewish publication, asked De Blasio.
“When you see a nation… grappling with… 400 years of American racism, I’m sorry, that is not the same question as… the devout religious person who wants to go back to services,” he snapped back.
Governor Murphy described anti-lockdown and anti-police protests as being in “different orbits”.
Just to be clear, we’re not all in this together. And we never were. Social distancing doesn’t apply when you’re burning down cities, you can only get sick when you’re praying to G-d or burying your dead.
The lockdowns existed at the pleasure of the politicians implementing them. And when the politicians found a lefty cause that they really liked, the rioters and looters were exempted from social distancing like kids told that they can leave algebra class early on Tuesday to go protest for the environment.
Lockdowns were always for little people. Not for celebrities, politicians or political radicals.
Martha Stewart is quarantining with her driver, housekeeper, and gardener. Lefty author Neil Gaiman decided that he needed to get away from his wife and flew from New Zealand to Scotland. David Geffen, the Hollywood billionaire tycoon who helped finance Buttigieg’s presidential campaign, tweeted, “Isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus” from his $590 million yacht which boasts a staff of 55.
The riots just applied to the rioters and looters the same privilege that politicians had enjoyed.
Governor J.B. Pritzker’s wife and daughter enjoyed the lockdown far from Illinois on their equestrian estate near Palm Beach, and then headed to the 230-acre horse farm in Wisconsin that the Illinois boss had bought his wife as an anniversary present. After claiming that his family deserved privacy and was being endangered by reports of his hypocrisy, the billionaire contended that their travel was essential.
“We have a working farm. They’re there now. There are animals on that farm, that it’s an essential function to take care of animals at a farm, so that’s what they’re doing,” he argued.
He didn’t explain who was taking care of the horses once his wife and daughter went on to Wisconsin.
Then he banned a reporter who had first tweeted about it from his press conferences.
The same media which had howled in outrage when President Trump had dumped CNN and Playboy correspondents for egregious behavior, including assault, had nothing to say about a free press.
Not only was it essential for Pritzker’s family to vacation on one massive horse ranch and then another, but it was essential for Illinois workers to travel to Wisconsin to help build a huge home on the ranch. Local residents reported 20 to 30 trucks a day coming from Chicago to labor on this essential project.
“They’re operating an essential function. Construction is an essential function,” Pritzker whined.
Around the same time, Pritzker was using the slogan, “We’re all in this together” to promote his, “All in Illinois” initiative to tell everyone to stay home. “‘All in’ is our anthem and point of pride,” Pritzker had falsely claimed. “Illinoisans staying home for the good of each other and the good of our state.”
Unless it’s to work on the billionaire governor’s latest mansion. Or loot some Chicago pharmacies.
The difference between essential and non-essential was always a political fiction. The protesters who were told that their protest was non-essential were just protesting for the wrong cause. Going to church or synagogue, burying your dead, or protesting for your rights was non-essential in the same way that Pritzker’s mansion and family vacations were essential. What was essential was who was in charge.
We’re not all in this together. Ask New York Governor Cuomo’s brother Chris, who casually violated quarantine, and then starred in a fake news CNN video of leaving quarantine for his coronavirus infection. Ask Virginia’s Governor Northam who didn’t wear a mask to the beach before ordering everyone to wear masks. Ask Wisconsin’s Justice Rebecca Dallet who opposed the court decision ending the state lockdown, warning, “Wisconsinites will pay the price”, before allegedly going on a boat trip.
Ask New Mexico’s Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham who told non-essential businesses they had to shut down and then had a non-essential business open up so she could get some expensive jewelry.
Ask Professor Neil Ferguson of the Imperial College Model who was caught sneaking out for an affair or Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot who got a haircut after shutting down salons and barbershops. Or ask Dr. Richard (Rachel) Levine whose policies at the Pennsylvania Department of Health introduced coronavirus patients into nursing homes, but made sure to remove his mother from her nursing home.
Michigan’s Governor Whitmer had issued orders banning just about everything. And then a marina operator got a call from her husband about getting their boat in the water for Memorial Day.
“I am the husband to the governor; will this make a difference?” Whitmer’s husband asked.
Governor Whitmer claimed that her husband was joking and that he only traveled to a second home to rake leaves. That comes from the same tyrannical termagant whose bans had extended to yardwork.
We’re not all in this together. We never were.
The coronavirus touched Manhattan only lightly. That was partly because its residents could afford to get away.
When rentals were shut down, they bought houses elsewhere, sight unseen. About 5% of New Yorkers, over 400,000 people, left the city, abandoning trendy and wealthy neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The pandemic spread along their wake. Those who left included not only the elite, celebrities and billionaires, but the upscale wealthy liberals who keep the Democrats going nationwide.
The abandoned zip codes are also the ones that have been pouring money into left-wing politics.
When you hear another, “We’re All In This Together,” commercial, remember that it’s probably the brainchild of a Bernie Sanders supporter who found a second home in upstate New York or Vermont.
That includes the 10022 zip code, the top money source in the 2018 election cycle, where between 40% to 30% of the population vanished. A quarter of the population of 10075, the tenth biggest money zip code in the cycle, vanished. Ditto for the eleventh, twelfth and fifteenth top election cash zip codes.
The New York City cash that fueled the 2018 Democrat wave was not together in this with us.
The posh parts of Manhattan are being looted because they were abandoned. All the rich toys being stolen by thugs are there because the elites who would normally be buying them are out of town.
Lockdown culture was an elite scam. The politicians, the technocrats, and the ad geniuses who imposed and sold lockdown culture to the country weren’t living it.
The pandemic and lockdowns did not hit us all equally. The division of society into essential and non-essential workers made certain of that by protecting some jobs while eliminating others. This plague year experiment in the New Deal 2.0 replaced any kind of togetherness with a political class system.
The administrators of that system, like Pritzker and Whitmer, were never living under it.
“We’re All In This Together,” does not offer unity or togetherness. It demands compliance from us for our assigned roles. Like 1984’s slogans, it means the opposite of what it actually says. Freedom was slavery, ignorance was knowledge, and being in it together meant that none of us had any say in it.
The lockdowns weren’t driven by science, but by ideology. That’s why the rioters crowding in D.C. and NYC are immune from the coronavirus while the spring breakers in Florida were going to kill everyone.
Underneath the sappy ad-speak was a Maoist Confucianism worthy of the Little Red Book in whose Communist system the coronavirus pandemic had originated. It has largely gone unnoticed that the coronavirus slogans we hear are minor variations of those deployed in China by the Communist Party.
“Better to wear a mask than a ventilator; better to stay at home than in an ICU”, “this year a house visit, next year a grave visit”, or “stay in and don’t wander around, you have AC, television and Wi-Fi as your friends” should sound familiar. It’s not just our electronics that are made in China. So is our propaganda.
And, just as in China, the lockdown is applied unequally by a tyrannical leftist political system.
Togetherness, in our pandemic propaganda, is defined as being isolated members of an unseen collective, reinforced by slogans like #AloneTogether or “Stay Apart, Stay Together”. It means complying with directives, informing on the disobedient, and listening to the experts without asking any questions.
“We’re All In This Together” manufactures mass consent. The “We”, “All”, and “Together” represent a conformist mass in whose ranks the individual is only valued for his or her willingness to obey.
All of it, as Mary McCarthy said of a Communist hack, “is a lie, including ‘And’ and ‘The.’”
When the collective was told to stop watching Netflix and start burning and looting, the “We” went out and did it, while the rest of us who are mere individuals looked on in horror and bewilderment.
No one in the collective can or will note the radical shift from mandatory isolation to mass riots. Collectives don’t recognize that their herd impulse has changed. Life for the brainwashed is unchanging. Once there was always isolation and now there are permanent protests. Tomorrow there will be something else. But that is not a concept that the “We” are capable of embracing as a collective.
“We’re All In This Together” is a state of mindless and unquestioning conformity. And it’s un-American.
Americans are not a Communist collective: we are a nation of individuals. Our togetherness doesn’t come from the illusion of functioning as an undifferentiated mass, but of pursuing our own individual strivings for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Collectivism is a lie that conceals the humbug wizards behind the curtains, and the oligarchies that make the decisions. It tells us to set aside our own interests and needs, to become part of Zamyatin’s “We”, to stop thinking and believe the lies.
The lies keep changing.
Yesterday we were huddling in our homes in our togetherhood of apartness. Now we’re supposed to be rioting together and calling for the abolition of the police. Each false cause is replaced by another big lie. If you can see past the lies, you’re not “Together” with the “We”. You’re one of the last Americans.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-10--After Actress Debra Messings’ Historically Ignorant Tweet, She Gets Schooled

Last week , during some of the race-related protests , President Trump famously held up a Bible in one hand outside of an historic D.C. church rioters had set afire .
Actress Debra Messing ( “ Will and Grace ” ) then sent out a tweet in which she showed Trump with the Bible , and next to it she juxtaposed a picture of Hitler supposedly holding a Bible .
She had the caption : “ A dog whistle to white nationalists and Nazis.
” She also declared , “ This is no accident !
” Of course , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a total fake .
Furthermore , putting a Bible in Hitler ’ s hands is totally incorrect on every front .
I realize that actors and actresses are not necessarily well-read when it comes to history , but it ’ s important to be clear about this .
If there is any book Hitler did not approve of , it was the Bible .
The leader of the Nazi Party rued the day that Christian missionaries ever set foot in his beloved Germany .
One of the best books on Adolf Hitler was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Richard Weikart .
He is perhaps best-known for his book “ From Darwin to Hitler .
” He also wrote an important book a few years ago called “ Hitler ’ s Religion : The Twisted Beliefs That Drove the Third Reich .
” What was Hitler ’ s religion ?
Short answer : Nature , red with tooth and claw – not the Christian God by a long shot .
Just a few quotes from Weikart ’ s book on Hitler and the Bible show how ignorant Messing ’ s tweet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • “ Since Hitler was a radical anti-Semite , his characterization of Christianity as a Jewish plot was about as harsh an indictment as he could bring against Christianity.
” • “ He saw the Old Testament as the antithesis of everything he stood for.
” • “ He regretted that Finnish people ’ s religiosity was based on the Bible because it was permeated with Jewishness .
According to Hitler , religious people like the Finns , who during long winters seek their religion in the Bible , ‘ must become mentally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delusion . '
” • “ Hitler lamented that the Bible had been translated into German , because this made Jewish doctrines readily available to the German people .
It would have been better , he stated , if the Bible had remained only in Latin , rather than causing mental disorders and delusions.
” • The “ Fuhrer ” declared , “ The idiocy of the Christian doctrine of salvation is for our time completely unusable .
… That even today one views the Christian doctrine of salvation as giving direction through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • “ Many SS members followed [ Heinrich ] Himmler ’ s example and encouragement to withdraw from the churches , and Hitler lauded them for their anti-church attitude.
” • “ Hitler harshly castigated Christianity for not supporting his eugenics and racial ideology.
” This is just a smattering of anti-Bible examples found in Weikart ’ s book , showing that Hitler had no tolerance for Christianity ( although he sometimes hid that antipathy for political purposes ) .
Hitler denied that Jesus did miracles , that He was divine , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that He rose from the dead .
Hitler even denied that Jesus was Jewish .
I shared the article about Debra Messing ’ s ignorant tweet with Dr. Weikart ( who has also written on the tendentious Trump-Hitler comparisons ) and asked him if he would provide me a statement or two for this column .
Weikart told me , “ Hitler rejected the Old Testament as a book of Jewish provenance , and he scorned the apostle Paul , who wrote about half the New Testament , as a sneaky Jewish rabbi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He liked a few Bible stories that corresponded with his worldview , such as Jesus driving the Jews out of the Temple because of their greed , or Jesus saying that he had come not to bring peace , but a sword .
However , he forthrightly criticized Jesus ’ teaching about turning the other cheek .
He also once stated , ‘ The New Testament is full of contradictions.
’ Clearly , Hitler did not have much respect for the Bible.
” Furthermore , I asked Weikart if the German people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steeped in the Bible – as many of them had been in previous centuries .
He answered , “ Most German Protestants ( and Protestantism was in the majority in Germany ) by the 20th century did not view the Bible as historically ( or doctrinally ) accurate , because they had embraced liberal theology , which denied that the biblical text was accurate.
” Of course , Messing ’ s silly tweet overlooks the fact that numerous U.S. presidents have been photographed holding Bibles .
In fact , a photograph of Bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the exact same church resurfaced recently .
It ’ s not surprising that the photo of Hitler holding a Bible in Messing ’ s tweet was fake .
Hitler and his ardent followers had no use for that book .

“Hitler harshly castigated Christianity for not supporting his eugenics and racial ideology.”
This is just a smattering of anti-Bible examples found in Weikart’s book, showing that Hitler had no tolerance for Christianity (although he sometimes hid that antipathy for political purposes).

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-10--The US Wrote The Actual Playbook For Everything Happening Right Now

While it might seem like everything that is happening is just chaotically bouncing from one shocking event to the next , that assessment couldn ’ t be further from the truth .
There ’ s a playbook – a literal playbook – and we ’ re being manipulated toward the endgame that does not benefit the American people .
It ’ s widespread guerrilla actions and the destabilization of our country .
The playbook I ’ m referring to in this article is the US Special Forces Unconventional Warfare Manual from 2010 .
These were methods that the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of U.S. UW efforts is to exploit a hostile power ’ s political , military , economic , and psychological vulnerabilities by developing and sustaining resistance forces to accomplish U.S. strategic objectives .
Historically , the military concept for the employment of UW was primarily in support of resistance movements during general-war scenarios .
While this concept remains valid , the operational environment since the end of World War II has increasingly required U.S. forces to conduct UW in scenarios short of general war ( limited war ) .
Enabling a resistance movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underground and guerrilla forces , as well as supporting auxiliaries for each of these elements .
Resistance movements or insurgencies always have an underground element .
The armed component of these groups is the guerrilla force and is only present if the resistance transitions to conflict .
The combined effects of two interrelated lines of effort largely generate the end result of a UW campaign .
The efforts are armed conflict and subversion .
Forces conduct armed conflict , normally in the form of guerrilla warfare , against the security apparatus of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military .
Conflict also includes operations that attack and degrade enemy morale , organizational cohesion , and operational effectiveness and separate the enemy from the population .
Over time , these attacks degrade the ability of the HN or occupying military to project military power and exert control over the population .
Subversion undermines the power of the government or occupying element by portraying it as incapable of effective governance to the population .
( source ) And now this guideline is very clearly being used against the United States .
It started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve watched things escalate rather dramatically .
Consider this a pyramid that begins at the bottom and builds to the apex .
This all begins with underground activities and the fanning of legitimate flames , like Selco mentioned in his article about defunding the police .
Does that stuff look familiar ?
It should because we ’ re more than three-quarters of the way through this escalation .
The causes are not unjust .
The thing that makes this technique so effective is that the causes themselves are not unjust .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasonable , compassionate human being .
Most white people don ’ t want to see people of other races suffer indignities and violence based on the color of their skin .
( I say “ most ” because there are always outliers and extremists . )
Most Americans in general do not want to see police brutality .
They don ’ t want to see families split up or people imprisoned for decades for victimless crimes .
Let me be perfectly clear when I say that it is not unreasonable or wrong to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I hate some of the things I ’ ve seen our government and police officers do and have written about these misdeeds for years .
But this article isn ’ t about whether or not our anger is justified .
It is an assessment of a playbook .
All of this outrage over injustice forms the foundation of something that can be used against us .
The agitation has been building up for years – far longer than President Trump has been in office – so as much as people love to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cause of all this .
But he ’ s certainly not making things go any more smoothly .
Everything I ’ m writing about today is about how our government in the past has encouraged a resistance in other countries , and how a resistance is being nurtured here in the United States right now .
So what does it take to cause people to be angry enough to resist ?
There can be more than one resistance going on at a time , too .
Currently , everything that is in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has sprung up over the death of George Floyd .
A few months ago , it was about the sanctuary cities in Virginia standing up against state legislators .
Resistance organizations have been around for years : Black Lives Matter , the NRA , Antifa , the Boogaloo movement , the Black Bloc , the Gun Owners of America .
I ’ m just listing off examples of organizations here , not passing judgment whether they ’ re good or bad .
I ’ ll bet that most people who join do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They sincerely feel they ’ re doing the right thing and have the best of intentions .
But then there are the other people who join – the infiltrators – and they take these kinds of organizations to dark places .
Much has been written about the involvement of the Communist Party , neo-Nazis , George Soros , and white supremacists in various groups .
And while some of it may be the stuff of legends and propaganda , a lot of it is very likely to be true .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play .
Those who want to see an insurgency then tag some “ useful idiots ” into play .
This can mean people who join or get behind some of these movements or even celebrities who use their platforms to encourage others to get on board .
What are “ useful idiots ?
” That ’ s a phrase used by Yuri Bezmenov , a former KGB officer and Soviet defector who spilled the beans about the subversive tactics used by the Soviet Union to get Westerners to sympathize with their cause .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and probably still is ) used to train the intelligence communities on the Psychological Operations ( PSYOPS ) tactics used against Americans .
You see , the useful idiots , the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system , when they get disillusioned , they become the worst enemies .
That ’ s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point : never bother with leftists .
Forget about these political prostitutes .
Aim higher .
This was my instruction : try to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really filthy-rich movie makers ; intellectuals , so-called ‘ academic ’ circles ; cynical , egocentric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie .
These are the most recruitable people : people who lack moral principles , who are either too greedy or too suffer from self-importance .
They feel that they matter a lot .
These are the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit .
…They serve purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation .
For example , your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders .
They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation .
When their job is completed , they are not needed anymore .
They know too much .
Some of them , when they get disillusioned , when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power .
That will never happen , of course .
They will be lined up against the wall , and shot .
( source ) You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s long but a real education in subversive tactics .
Let ’ s talk some more about the “ useful idiots.
” Alice Atalanta wrote a fine piece about this topic and while you may not agree with some of her conclusions , she is right on target about the “ useful idiots ” who Bezmenov describes : Embedded in his rhetoric , one notable phrase repeats : “ useful idiot.
” It occurs 14 times throughout the nearly 3-hour interview .
Celebrities , professors , politicians ; none are spared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bezmenov , “ useful idiots ” are the American citizens who are unwittingly manipulated and mobilized to carry out a foreign power ’ s bidding—while thinking it ’ s their own idea .
For proof that these tactics are still alive and well today , one need look no further than the cacophony of celebrity voices that have banded together to self-congratulate for the donations they are making to protesters ’ bailout funds .
While their giving may be , at best , a genuine effort to assist peaceful protestors , and at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , either way , it fulfills the 1983 prophecy of the KGB defector .
Chrissy Teigen , Seth Rogen , Mark Ruffalo , Steve Carell , Harry Styles…in them is embodied the crux of the paradoxical challenge that the American people are facing .
Ruffalo thinks he ’ s “ combatting the harms of incarceration by paying bail for low-income individuals who can not otherwise afford it ; ” Styles is giving , he says , because “ BLACK LIVES MATTER.
” Noble causes , all , but the problem is that these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hands of the ones who most want to see this country destabilized by failing to recognize that their unbridled support of the rioters fails to draw any distinction between the black Americans and allies attempting to conduct peaceful protests , and the radical insurgents from both the left and right ends of the spectrum who are seizing this as an opportunity to wreak havoc for their own objectives .
( source ) This isn ’ t about calling out any particular celebrity or public figure .
They probably have no idea they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of enemies to the nation .
Again , as I wrote above about people who join movements , the intentions are most likely well-meaning and good .
But the end result is destabilization and weakness .
Who ’ s behind it all ?
How many of us have felt passionately one way or another about our fellow Americans recently ?
How many of us have left social media or lost friends on social media because of our extreme polarization ?
How many people now inwardly cringe over the idea of heading off to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( fill in the epitaph ) because you either have to sit there and eat your mashed potatoes in silence or cause a family feud by sharing your real opinion .
We ’ re being split – no , splintered – into pieces in this country .

How could an entire nation possibly pull together and fight a common enemy ?
As far as “ foreign intervention ” goes , it ’ s interesting to note that George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nations to disarm American police forces , which is certainly a leap , considering no firearm was used in Mr. Floyd ’ s death .

The United States has many enemies who would enjoy watching us circling the drain – Atalanta mentioned Russia , North Korea , Iran , and China in her article .
These aren ’ t the only countries who ’ d be delighted to watch us go down in flames .

But did someone else water them ?
It certainly seems to be right out of the Unconventional Warfare insurgency manual .
But by whom ?
Is this how the Empire ends ?

While it might seem like everything that is happening is just chaotically bouncing from one shocking event to the next, that assessment couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s a playbook – a literal playbook – and we’re being manipulated toward the endgame that does not benefit the American people.
What’s the endgame?
Spoiler alert.
It’s widespread guerrilla actions and the destabilization of our country.
What’s this playbook?
The playbook I’m referring to in this article is the US Special Forces Unconventional Warfare Manual from 2010. These were methods that the United States military employed against Libya.
The intent of U.S. UW efforts is to exploit a hostile power’s political, military, economic, and psychological vulnerabilities by developing and sustaining resistance forces to accomplish U.S. strategic objectives. Historically, the military concept for the employment of UW was primarily in support of resistance movements during general-war scenarios. While this concept remains valid, the operational environment since the end of World War II has increasingly required U.S. forces to conduct UW in scenarios short of general war (limited war). Enabling a resistance movement or insurgency entails the development of an underground and guerrilla forces, as well as supporting auxiliaries for each of these elements. Resistance movements or insurgencies always have an underground element. The armed component of these groups is the guerrilla force and is only present if the resistance transitions to conflict. The combined effects of two interrelated lines of effort largely generate the end result of a UW campaign. The efforts are armed conflict and subversion. Forces conduct armed conflict, normally in the form of guerrilla warfare, against the security apparatus of the host nation (HN) or occupying military. Conflict also includes operations that attack and degrade enemy morale, organizational cohesion, and operational effectiveness and separate the enemy from the population. Over time, these attacks degrade the ability of the HN or occupying military to project military power and exert control over the population. Subversion undermines the power of the government or occupying element by portraying it as incapable of effective governance to the population. (source)
And now this guideline is very clearly being used against the United States. It started years back, but recently, we’ve watched things escalate rather dramatically.
Here’s the guideline.
Consider this a pyramid that begins at the bottom and builds to the apex. This all begins with underground activities and the fanning of legitimate flames, like Selco mentioned in his article about defunding the police.
Does that stuff look familiar? It should because we’re more than three-quarters of the way through this escalation.
The causes are not unjust.
The thing that makes this technique so effective is that the causes themselves are not unjust. They are things that would rightly anger any reasonable, compassionate human being.
Most white people don’t want to see people of other races suffer indignities and violence based on the color of their skin. (I say “most” because there are always outliers and extremists.) Most Americans in general do not want to see police brutality. They don’t want to see families split up or people imprisoned for decades for victimless crimes.
Let me be perfectly clear when I say that it is not unreasonable or wrong to be outraged and want things to change. I hate some of the things I’ve seen our government and police officers do and have written about these misdeeds for years.
But this article isn’t about whether or not our anger is justified. It is an assessment of a playbook.
All of this outrage over injustice forms the foundation of something that can be used against us. The agitation has been building up for years – far longer than President Trump has been in office – so as much as people love to hate him, he isn’t the cause of all this. But he’s certainly not making things go any more smoothly.
An early timeline
Everything I’m writing about today is about how our government in the past has encouraged a resistance in other countries, and how a resistance is being nurtured here in the United States right now.
So what does it take to cause people to be angry enough to resist?
Resistance generally begins with the desire of individuals to remove intolerable conditions imposed by an unpopular regime or occupying power. Feelings of opposition toward the governing authority and hatred of existing conditions that conflict with the individual’s values, interests, aspirations, and way of life spread from the individual to his family, close friends, and neighbors. As a result, an entire community may possess an obsessive hatred for the established authority. Initially, this hatred will manifest as sporadic, spontaneous nonviolent and violent acts of resistance by the people toward authority. As the discontent grows, natural leaders, such as former military personnel, clergymen, local office holders, and neighborhood representatives, emerge to channel this discontent into organized resistance that promotes its growth. The population must believe they have nothing to lose, or more to gain. (source)
There can be more than one resistance going on at a time, too. Currently, everything that is in the news is about the resistance that has sprung up over the death of George Floyd. A few months ago, it was about the sanctuary cities in Virginia standing up against state legislators.
Resistance organizations have been around for years: Black Lives Matter, the NRA, Antifa, the Boogaloo movement, the Black Bloc, the Gun Owners of America. I’m just listing off examples of organizations here, not passing judgment whether they’re good or bad. I’ll bet that most people who join do so because of their own deeply held beliefs. They sincerely feel they’re doing the right thing and have the best of intentions.
But then there are the other people who join – the infiltrators – and they take these kinds of organizations to dark places. Much has been written about the involvement of the Communist Party, neo-Nazis, George Soros, and white supremacists in various groups. And while some of it may be the stuff of legends and propaganda, a lot of it is very likely to be true.
This is where “useful idiots” come into play.
Those who want to see an insurgency then tag some “useful idiots” into play. This can mean people who join or get behind some of these movements or even celebrities who use their platforms to encourage others to get on board.
What are “useful idiots?” That’s a phrase used by Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB officer and Soviet defector who spilled the beans about the subversive tactics used by the Soviet Union to get Westerners to sympathize with their cause. He made a video that was (and probably still is) used to train the intelligence communities on the Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) tactics used against Americans.
You see, the useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. This was my instruction: try to get into large-circulation, established conservative media; really filthy-rich movie makers; intellectuals, so-called ‘academic’ circles; cynical, egocentric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. These are the most recruitable people: people who lack moral principles, who are either too greedy or too suffer from self-importance. They feel that they matter a lot. These are the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit. …They serve purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed anymore. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall, and shot. (source)
You can watch the entire video below. It’s long but a real education in subversive tactics.
Let’s talk some more about the “useful idiots.”
Alice Atalanta wrote a fine piece about this topic and while you may not agree with some of her conclusions, she is right on target about the “useful idiots” who Bezmenov describes:
Embedded in his rhetoric, one notable phrase repeats: “useful idiot.” It occurs 14 times throughout the nearly 3-hour interview. Celebrities, professors, politicians; none are spared the indignity of this dismissive moniker… …To Bezmenov, “useful idiots” are the American citizens who are unwittingly manipulated and mobilized to carry out a foreign power’s bidding—while thinking it’s their own idea. For proof that these tactics are still alive and well today, one need look no further than the cacophony of celebrity voices that have banded together to self-congratulate for the donations they are making to protesters’ bailout funds. While their giving may be, at best, a genuine effort to assist peaceful protestors, and at worst, a tastelessly virtue signaling attention-grab, either way, it fulfills the 1983 prophecy of the KGB defector. Chrissy Teigen, Seth Rogen, Mark Ruffalo, Steve Carell, Harry Styles…in them is embodied the crux of the paradoxical challenge that the American people are facing. Ruffalo thinks he’s “combatting the harms of incarceration by paying bail for low-income individuals who cannot otherwise afford it;” Styles is giving, he says, because “BLACK LIVES MATTER.” Noble causes, all, but the problem is that these noble celebrities are playing straight into the hands of the ones who most want to see this country destabilized by failing to recognize that their unbridled support of the rioters fails to draw any distinction between the black Americans and allies attempting to conduct peaceful protests, and the radical insurgents from both the left and right ends of the spectrum who are seizing this as an opportunity to wreak havoc for their own objectives. (source)
This isn’t about calling out any particular celebrity or public figure. They probably have no idea they’re feeding people right into the hands of enemies to the nation. Again, as I wrote above about people who join movements, the intentions are most likely well-meaning and good. But the end result is destabilization and weakness.
Who’s behind it all?
Atalanta continues:
The truth is that there are foreign intelligence agencies that are seeking to divide and conquer our country from within by turning ourselves against each other and then fanning the flames. Every single day, with Russia, North Korea, Iran, China being the key players, while there are most certainly others. They are waging Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) against us in efforts that are proven and often reported, using tactics that are well-documented. None of this is theory or hearsay. It is a concrete fact, it happens every day, it is exacerbated by the internet, and we are fueling it. Our military and government are well aware of it, but the American people are having trouble getting on board and recognizing the seriousness of this threat, which is like a cancer-causing us to devour ourselves alive from within. (source)
How many of us have felt passionately one way or another about our fellow Americans recently? How many of us have left social media or lost friends on social media because of our extreme polarization? How many people now inwardly cringe over the idea of heading off to Thanksgiving dinner with relatives who are flaming (fill in the epitaph) because you either have to sit there and eat your mashed potatoes in silence or cause a family feud by sharing your real opinion.
We’re being split – no, splintered – into pieces in this country. People in the same families can’t even see eye to eye. How could an entire nation possibly pull together and fight a common enemy?
As far as “foreign intervention” goes, it’s interesting to note that George Floyd’s family has petitioned the United Nations to disarm American police forces, which is certainly a leap, considering no firearm was used in Mr. Floyd’s death.
“When a group of people of any nation have been systemically deprived of their universal human right to life by its government for decades, it must appeal to the international community for its support and to the United Nations for its intervention,” Floyd’s family attorney Ben Crump said in a press release… …On May 28, the United Nations’ High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, called Floyd’s death the “latest in a long line of killings of unarmed African Americans by U.S. police officers and members of the public,” and urged “serious action.” (source)
Our enemies are many.
The United States has many enemies who would enjoy watching us circling the drain – Atalanta mentioned Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China in her article. These aren’t the only countries who’d be delighted to watch us go down in flames. Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan – there’s no love lost there, either.
Where are we now?
On the chart above, we’re clearly at the part that discusses “Overt and Covert Pressures Against Government (Strikes, Riots, and Disorder).” Rage in our country is burning hot. People are talking about defunding and dismantling police departments, they’re talking about white privilege (either that it exists or it doesn’t), and they’re destroying cities throughout the nation. This video of a quick drive through Minneapolis looks like the warzones Selco and Toby took us to during the Urban Survival course I took in Croatia, except these are still burning and they’re right here in the United States of America.
If this keeps up, our major cities will be nothing but ashes and rubble, and when the angry crowds run out of things to burn there, you can bet they’ll be headed to neighborhoods outside the cities.
Protesting in and of itself is not a bad thing. It’s what our country was built on and is our Constitutional right. But local protests are being overrun by busloads of people from out of town. This is something they’re reporting on the news and then officials are being pressured to walk back the statements. However, more than one source has directly told me this is true.
It’s absolutely a fact that many of the people being arrested at protests are from out of town – and even out of state. We have to ask ourselves two questions: why? and who is paying for it?

Reports are that the people coming in from out of town are not there to lend support. They’re present to take over and move an otherwise peaceful protest in a far more aggressive and damaging direction.
We’re also watching the “Intense Sapping of Morale (Government, Administration, Police, and Military).” When members of the American military – not the National Guard but the actual military – were deployed against protesters in Washington DC last week, it led to an outpouring of rage from people with a wide variety of views that our own soldiers were in American streets against us, the American people.
People are furious and fed up with the government, the administration, the police, and the military right now. Some of it is definitely warranted. Some of it is the direct result of propaganda and a psy-op against the American people.
What comes next?
It’s impossible to guess the specific event that would escalate us to the next rung on this ladder. But if the patterns continue to hold true with the playbook, in general, we can expect increased violence, sabotage, and even all-out guerrilla attacks.

Over the last decade, we’ve watched our country devolve further and further into frivolity and depravity. Dissent has become hostile to the point of violence.
