Austin, TX — 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. This is something everyone who is reading this article has likely done at some point in their life. However, because Ambler drove past a Williamson County sheriff’s deputy, an hour later, he’d be dead.
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.
The incident began as Deputy J.J. Johnson, who is regularly featured on “Live PD,” passed Ambler and allegedly saw him fail to dim his brights. So, the deputy targeted Ambler for extortion and subsequent murder.
For unknown reasons — likely due to the fact that he was scared of what the police may do, or did not want to be extorted — Ambler did not stop. He led police on a chase for over 20 minutes. The cops stayed behind him because it is in their job description to extort, kidnap, and in this instance, kill people over failing to turn down your brights when passing another vehicle.
The chase came to an end when Ambler crashed his vehicle.
As the Statesman reports:
Johnson, who had no backup at the time, drew his gun and ordered Ambler to get out of his car, raise his hands and get on the ground. Ambler, a 400-pound former football player, got out and showed his hands. Johnson, who is black and about half Ambler’s size, holstered his gun and pulled out his Taser. “Get down!” Johnson repeated several times. When Ambler appeared to turn toward his car door, Johnson used his Taser, according to an internal investigative report the Statesman obtained under the Texas Public Information Act. Ambler fell on one knee, rolled onto his back and stomach and acted as though he was trying to stand.
Moments later, multiple officers are pushing down on the man’s body as he begs them to stop, telling them he had congestive heart failure.
“I have congestive heart failure,” Ambler says. “I have congestive heart failure. I can’t breathe.”
Despite the man posing no threat whatsoever, cops continue to yell stop resisting as Ambler repeats, “I can’t breathe,” each time getting softer as the breath leaves his lungs.
“I am not resisting,” Ambler cries. “Sir, I can’t breathe. … Please. … Please.”
Deputies, clearly ignorant to the fact that Ambler is unable to put his hands behind his back because of his size and health condition, keep yelling at him to do so while delivering more taser strikes to 400 lb former football player.
“Save me,” Ambler cries.
“Do what we’re asking you to do!” a deputy yells.
“I can’t,” Ambler says, These would be his last words, just before an officer tasers him for the fourth time.
After the taser, Ambler goes completely unconscious. In spite of no longer moving, the officers still yell at him to “get your hands behind your back and stop resisting.”
After cuffing the unconscious man, they realize he stopped breathing, was unconscious, and had no pulse. Moments later, he’d be pronounced dead.
As the Statesman reports, a death-in-custody report filed with the Texas attorney general’s office — a procedure required anytime a person dies in police custody — said Ambler did not attempt to, nor did he assault deputies; he did not verbally threaten others nor attempt to get control of any officers’ weapons.
Basically, the entire application and escalation of force was unnecessary.
We will never know why Ambler didn’t stop that night, but he had committed no other crime. The most serious charge he would’ve faced would’ve been failing to stop for police. And he died for it.
This man was pursued, pulled out of his car, thrown to the ground, repeatedly shocked, and the air squeezed from his lungs until he died because he allegedly failed to dim his headlights.
“It is of very serious concern to any of us who are in law enforcement that the decision to engage in that chase was driven by more of a need to provide entertainment than to keep Williamson County citizens safe,” said Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore.
Indeed. It appears that Johnson initiated a dangerous and deadly chase over something as petty as flashing one’s brights, all so he could make the producers happy at LIVE PD, who consistently put him on the air.
Investigators with the Williamson County sheriff’s department of internal affairs determined in a report that the deputies did not violate the agency’s pursuit or use-of-force policies, according to the Statesman. This was in spite of the fact that Ambler’s death was ruled a homicide.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-11--The George Floyd Riots: The Leftist/Islamic Partnership in Action

The Unholy Alliance is emboldened and on the march .
The nationwide riots over the murder of George Floyd have offered new insight into the unholy alliance between Leftists and Islamic supremacists .
Zahra Billoo , Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Area office of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations ( CAIR-SFBA ) , recently tweeted : “ Non-Black POC , first and second generation immigrant Muslims friends in particular , what are you doing today to support # BlackLivesMatter ?
” Imraan Siddiqi of CAIR-Arizona tweeted out a video of a hijab-wearing Muslim woman kicking a tear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comment , “ Drop-kick that tear-gas canister , sister.
” Meanwhile , in Los Angeles , rioters were so grieved and angered by Floyd ’ s death that they spray-painted “ Free Palestine ” on the wall of a synagogue .
And in New York City , a Muslim housing attorney is in legal trouble for tossing a Molotov cocktail at a NYPD cruiser during the recent riots in New York City .
She is also a committed activist for the Palestinian jihad , having published agitprop spreading false claims of Palestinian victimhood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is in now , however , she has a bright future as an ideological leader of both the Left and the Islamic jihad .
In an interview before her attack , she enunciated the common goal of both movements : “ This s–t won ’ t ever stop unless we f–kin ’ take it all down.
” In both the interview and during her attack , Rahman kept a Palestinian keffiyeh close to her face .
Her sartorial choice was not incidental .
With her attempted torching of the police cruiser ( her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she brought Palestinian jihad tactics to the riots in the U.S. She also revealed the congruence between the ideology of the Left in America today and that of jihadists , not just the Palestinians , but all over the world .
Regarding Israel , the goal of the Palestinian jihad is and always has been to “ f–kin ’ take it all down.
” That is the meaning of the increasingly common slogan “ From the River to the Sea , Palestine Will Be Free.
” If “ Palestine ” must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the way to the Mediterranean Sea , the Palestinian cause is not about ending “ occupation , ” or stopping “ settlements , ” or anything that the establishment media tells us about it .
It is , rather , about destroying Israel altogether , as documents in detail .
Until that goal is attained , as Urooj Rahman elegantly put it , “ This s–t won ’ t ever stop.
” The same thing can be said of the jihad all around the world .
As shows , for 1,400 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essentially been “ This s–t won ’ t ever stop unless we f–kin ’ take it all down.
” While there were occasional periods in which jihad violence against non-Muslim states grew less active and virulent , these pauses were not occasioned by a general rejection in the Islamic world of the idea that jihad must be pursued , or by reform of Islamic doctrine .
The doctrine always remained ; the wherewithal to put it into practice ebbed and flowed .
Although non-Muslim scholars and analysts routinely insist that Islam is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spiritual struggle , Islamic scholars have stated otherwise throughout the history of Islam .
In his book War and Peace in the Law of Islam , Majid Khadduri , an Iraqi scholar of Islamic law of international renown , says this about jihad : “ The state which is regarded as the instrument for universalizing a certain religion must perforce be an ever expanding state .
The Islamic state , whose principal function was to put God ’ s law into practice , sought to establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state.
” Or more succinctly and pungently : “ This s–t won ’ t ever stop unless we f–kin ’ take it all down.
” This is not a new idea .
The twelfth-century Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd stated : “ Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book…is one of two things : it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah.
” Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shari ’ ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad , states that Ibn Rushd “ leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community , in the eyes of its jurists , is to spread the word of Allah through jihad , and the option of poll-tax [ jizya ] is to be exercised only after subjugation ” of non-Muslims .
Or here again , “ This s–t won ’ t ever stop unless we f–kin ’ take it all down.
” Meanwhile , the Left ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ take it all down , ” has been on abundant display in the recent riots , and continues , to the apparent delight of Muslims such as Urooj Rahman , Zahra Billoo , and Imraan Siddiqi .
When she was arrested , Rahman was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “ THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES REGARDLESS.
” The Arabic word for “ struggle ” is , of course , jihad .

The Unholy Alliance is emboldened and on the march. The nationwide riots over the murder of George Floyd have offered new insight into the unholy alliance between Leftists and Islamic supremacists. Zahra Billoo, Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Area office of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-SFBA), recently tweeted: “Non-Black POC, first and second generation immigrant Muslims friends in particular, what are you doing today to support #BlackLivesMatter?” Imraan Siddiqi of CAIR-Arizona tweeted out a video of a hijab-wearing Muslim woman kicking a tear gas canister toward police with the approving comment, “Drop-kick that tear-gas canister, sister.”

And in New York City, a Muslim housing attorney is in legal trouble for tossing a Molotov cocktail at a NYPD cruiser during the recent riots in New York City. She is also a committed activist for the Palestinian jihad, having published agitprop spreading false claims of Palestinian victimhood.
Despite the hot water Urooj Rahman is in now, however, she has a bright future as an ideological leader of both the Left and the Islamic jihad. In an interview before her attack, she enunciated the common goal of both movements: “This s–t won’t ever stop unless we f–kin’ take it all down.”
In both the interview and during her attack, Rahman kept a Palestinian keffiyeh close to her face. Her sartorial choice was not incidental. With her attempted torching of the police cruiser (her Molotov cocktail didn’t light), she brought Palestinian jihad tactics to the riots in the U.S. She also revealed the congruence between the ideology of the Left in America today and that of jihadists, not just the Palestinians, but all over the world.
Regarding Israel, the goal of the Palestinian jihad is and always has been to “f–kin’ take it all down.” That is the meaning of the increasingly common slogan “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free.” If “Palestine” must be “free” from the Jordan River all the way to the Mediterranean Sea, the Palestinian cause is not about ending “occupation,” or stopping “settlements,” or anything that the establishment media tells us about it. It is, rather, about destroying Israel altogether, as The Palestinian Delusion documents in detail. Until that goal is attained, as Urooj Rahman elegantly put it, “This s–t won’t ever stop.”
The same thing can be said of the jihad all around the world. As The History of Jihad shows, for 1,400 years the goal of Islamic jihad activity has essentially been “This s–t won’t ever stop unless we f–kin’ take it all down.” While there were occasional periods in which jihad violence against non-Muslim states grew less active and virulent, these pauses were not occasioned by a general rejection in the Islamic world of the idea that jihad must be pursued, or by reform of Islamic doctrine. The doctrine always remained; the wherewithal to put it into practice ebbed and flowed.
Although non-Muslim scholars and analysts routinely insist that Islam is a religion of peace and jihad is a spiritual struggle, Islamic scholars have stated otherwise throughout the history of Islam. In his book War and Peace in the Law of Islam, Majid Khadduri, an Iraqi scholar of Islamic law of international renown, says this about jihad: “The state which is regarded as the instrument for universalizing a certain religion must perforce be an ever expanding state. The Islamic state, whose principal function was to put God’s law into practice, sought to establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over the entire world….The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state.”
Or more succinctly and pungently: “This s–t won’t ever stop unless we f–kin’ take it all down.”
This is not a new idea. The twelfth-century Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd stated: “Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book…is one of two things: it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah.” Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, assistant professor on the Faculty of Shari’ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad, states that Ibn Rushd “leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community, in the eyes of its jurists, is to spread the word of Allah through jihad, and the option of poll-tax [jizya] is to be exercised only after subjugation” of non-Muslims.
Or here again, “This s–t won’t ever stop unless we f–kin’ take it all down.”
Meanwhile, the Left’s anti-Americanism, and determination to “f–kin’ take it all down,” has been on abundant display in the recent riots, and continues, to the apparent delight of Muslims such as Urooj Rahman, Zahra Billoo, and Imraan Siddiqi. When she was arrested, Rahman was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES REGARDLESS.” The Arabic word for “struggle” is, of course, jihad.

“ It allows you to drive populations extinct in the longer term.

Latham then explains what we already know: the mainstream will relentlessly report on what they want you to focus on while things that are much more pertinent to our survival as humans on elsewhere.

Downtown Seattle Now Run By Actual Warlord Accused Of Beating Women & Forcing Them Into Sex Acts “ The wicked shall be turned into hell , and all the nations that forget God.
” -Psalm 91:7 Do you see what is taking place when you don ’ t bring justice ?
Criminals take over the society .

Downtown Seattle Now Run By Actual Warlord Accused Of Beating Women & Forcing Them Into Sex Acts
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” -Psalm 91:7
Do you see what is taking place when you don’t bring justice? Criminals take over the society. Seattle, Washington is the latest evidence of this after terrorists have seized several city blocks in downtown Seattle and a known warlord who has been accused of beating women and forcing them to perform sex acts seems to be the one calling the shots in the now “autonomous zone.”
Mike Adams has the story at Natural News:
(Natural News) After left-wing terrorists seized six city blocks of downtown Seattle, declaring it an “autonomous zone” that defies all the laws of Washington State and the United States of America, the power vacuum didn’t last very long. Now, an actual warlord has risen to power there — since Democrats hate police, remember? — and according to online comments, he’s, “a man who beats women, forces them into sex work and punishes them if they do not obey.”
As BigLeaguePolitics reports:
A Seattle rap artist appears to be establishing his authority as the de facto “warlord” of a self-styled leftist state in the city’s downtown. Reports from the scene of the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone indicate that Raz Simone, a Seattle rapper, has increasingly staked himself out as something of an authority figure within the jurisdiction. Witnesses describe Simone as asserting his authority over graffiti artists that attempted to paint over existing graffiti, threatening to shoot the street artists if they failed to obey his commands regarding new graffiti.
This is the new rule of law in Democrat-controlled cities, and Governor Inslee has today declared that he has no knowledge that six city blocks in downtown Seattle were seized. Democrats are suddenly learning what happens when you don’t say “no” to Black Lives Matter protesters who seize buildings (or city blocks) and issue a list of demands. As long as you allow the terrorists to control everything, they will keep asking for more.
Imagine their surprise when they escalate to seizing the state capital building and come to find out the Democrats have already looted everything. There’s nothing left to loot!
Hey white libtards living in Seattle, bow down to your new leader. When you demanded abolishing the police, this is what you get instead:
As BLP explains:
ANTIFA operatives describe seeing Simone assault individuals present within the autonomous zone at least two times. One claimed that he is “becoming the very thing people didn’t want to begin with.”
Video footage of the incident seems to have been caught on camera. Chaz appears far more willing to engage in the use of force than many of the American police the Seattle leftists are pointing to as their oppressors.

“Gotta say I’m impressed, it usually takes Marxists at least 3-4 months to achieve starvation,” said one Twitter user.
All isn’t lost in the republic of CHAZ, however, as the group has apparently organized its own trash collection while hosting regular free speech circles, according to the New York Post.
Inhabitants of the “CHAZ” are calling for defunding the Seattle Police Department as well as other demands published in a 30-point list online.
“This is no simple request to end police brutality,” organizers wrote. “We demand that the City Council and the Mayor, whoever that may be, implement these policy changes for the cultural and historic advancement of the City of Seattle, and to ease the struggles of its people.”
They continue, “This document is to represent the black voices who spoke in victory at the top of 12th & Pine after 9 days of peaceful protest while under constant nightly attack from the Seattle Police Department.” -New York Post
Sadly, Gov. Jay Inslee (D) has no clue about the autonomous zone whatsoever.
Gov. Inslee on so-called "autonomous zone" on Capitol Hill: "That's news to me". pic.twitter.com/L3LT86Zxgq — Rebecca Perry (@Rebecca_Perry) June 10, 2020
So, the governor of Washington doesn’t know that a six-block area, in the largest city in his state, was seized by Antifa after driving the police and National Guard out following a violent confrontation Sunday night.
What else is news to you, @GovInslee? Or do we even want to know? — Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) June 11, 2020
Trump should step back and allow this lunatic left-wing experiment to run its full course
Watching black-privileged warlords take over downtown Seattle is endlessly entertaining, and we should encourage Trump to avoid intervening and giving the lunatic Left a new narrative of “oppression.” Instead of sending in the National Guard, just let Seattle Democrats stew in their own s##t for a week or two, just to experience a taste of their own “utopia.”
Let them oppress themselves and burn their own cities to the ground.
Let the Democrats in Seattle experience a week or two under the rule of a woman-beating warlord, completely absent any police response or police accountability.
Let them find out what happens when you give up your right to arm yourself in self-defense, only the find yourself surrounded by violent gang bangers while your elected Governor (a Democrat, of course) pretends the whole thing isn’t actually happening.
Let them see with their own eyes what happens when you abandon the rule of law and allow deranged groups of thugs and hoodlums to seize control over society while making demands for reparations and the abolishing of police.
This is a teachable moment for America, and we should all watch and observe how this chaos unfolds in Seattle (and now spreading to Portland) because this is a sign of things to come if Democrats gain political power.
If you love being ruled by violent, black warlords who reject society’s laws and declare themselves to be dictators, vote Democrat at every opportunity.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-12--Oklahoma:  Man Tells Police “I Can’t Breathe” – Cop Responds “I Don’t Care” Just Before Man Dies

Oklahoma City , OK — The words ‘ I can ’ t breathe ’ have become a rallying cry for those who advocate for an end to police brutality .
In case after gruesome case , these words are captured on video as cops squeeze the life from American citizens .
Though police apologists will claim that saying “ I can ’ t breathe ” means you can breathe because you can talk , time after time , they are proven wrong .
Although they were likely uttered countless times before , as cops squeezed the breath from their victims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t breathe ” were burned into history when officer Daniel Pantaleo choked the last breath from Eric Garner .
Showing their utter disregard for human life and the disturbing nature of the thin blue line culture , NYPD officers had shirts made that said , “ I can breathe , ” to mock the last words of a father of six , who they killed .
Those words have been caught on film countless more times since that fateful day , yet they didn ’ t spark a major outcry until George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ squeezed the life from his body .
Instances like Floyd ’ s happen so frequently that since that day , multiple body camera videos have been released showing cops doing the same thing to other folks , who die shortly after saying , “ I can ’ t breathe.
” Derrick Scott , 42 , repeatedly told cops that he couldn ’ t breathe during his arrest last May , but cops couldn ’ t have cared less , and in fact , told this to Scott as he died .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most inhumane things that I have ever seen , ” Vickey Scott , Derrick ’ s mother said .
“ They did not do anything for him .
They treated him like he was an animal .
He was trying to get his breath .
He was trying to breathe , and they ignored him the whole time , like he was nothing .
They even treat animals better than they treated my son .
“ It ’ s very hard , ” she said .
“ I want every mother to watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your son ’ s last so many minutes of life and he ’ s dying and they ’ re saying that he ’ s faking.
” According to police , they were responding to a call of a black male in the area who allegedly brandished a gun during an argument .
If Scott felt his life was threatened during this argument , he was entirely justified in brandishing a weapon .
What ’ s more , he never fired it , and it appeared to resolve the situation — until police arrived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scott to the ground .
Scott pleaded “ I can ’ t breathe !
Please !
Help me !
I can ’ t breathe , ” as three Oklahoma City police officers pinned him to the ground with their knees and hands , removed the handgun from his pocket and held him there for about 13 minutes while waiting for paramedics to arrive .
His death was eerily similar to that of George Floyd ’ s .
“ I can ’ t breathe , ” Scott said as cops held their weight on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t care , ” one of the officers , Jarred Tipton , can be heard replying to Scott .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-12--It Only Took 2 Days For Seattle’s “Autonomous Zone” To Descend Into Chaos…

It Only Took 2 Days For Seattle ’ s “ Autonomous Zone ” To Descend Into Chaos… Protesters in Seattle decided that they were going to give us a living , breathing example of how the world should really operate .
The police were completely kicked out of a six-block area of downtown Seattle , and armed guards were posted at all the entrances to the “ Capital Hill Autonomous Zone ” in order to make sure that their “ utopia ” would not be interrupted .
At first , people were dancing and singing in the streets , free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , gardens were being started , and free movies were being played at night under the stars .
It was such a glorious beginning for “ CHAZ ” , but within hours major problems began to develop .
The protesters wanted to show everyone how compassionate they could be , and so they invited Seattle ’ s homeless population to share their free food .
Well , it turns out that the homeless people grabbed more of the food than they should have , and that created quite a crisis… Yes , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live near CHAZ and you have extra “ vegan meat substitutes , fruits , oats , soy products , etc.
” laying around , there are some really hungry radicals that would really appreciate the help .
But please don ’ t bring them anything that has been heavily processed because that will just make them angry , and if you try to give them anything that contains real meat that could potentially set off a riot .
In addition to a looming food shortage , residents of CHAZ are also dealing with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police are gone , it was just a matter of time before someone else took charge , and the person that has taken charge is a “ heavily-armed ” rapper named Raz Simone… Somehow Simone was able to get his hands on an AK-47 , and even though we keep being told that these are “ peaceful protests ” , Simone has told those under his command that what they are facing “ is war ” … Before this stunt , hardly anyone had ever heard of Raz Simone , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make a name for yourself and sell a lot of records .
At first , Washington Governor Jay Inslee insisted that he didn ’ t even know that activists had taken over a large section of downtown Seattle .
Later on , he changed his tune , and now he is saying that he is hoping for a peaceful resolution .
And hopefully , that is precisely what we will see , but for now , the protesters appear to be determined to dig in for the long haul .
Needless to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any of this .
In fact , he is warning that if local officials do not shut down CHAZ , he will do it himself… It is hard to believe that this is actually happening in America .
But as I keep warning , what we have seen so far is just the beginning .
As economic conditions deteriorate , Americans are just going to get even angrier and even more frustrated .
On Thursday , we learned that another 1.5 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week… This wasn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states started reopening , the tsunami of job losses was supposed to stop , but instead , we continue to see Americans lose their jobs at a pace that is far beyond anything we have ever witnessed in all of U.S. history .

It Only Took 2 Days For Seattle’s “Autonomous Zone” To Descend Into Chaos…
Protesters in Seattle decided that they were going to give us a living, breathing example of how the world should really operate. The police were completely kicked out of a six-block area of downtown Seattle, and armed guards were posted at all the entrances to the “Capital Hill Autonomous Zone” in order to make sure that their “utopia” would not be interrupted. At first, people were dancing and singing in the streets, free food was being passed out to everyone, gardens were being started, and free movies were being played at night under the stars. It was such a glorious beginning for “CHAZ”, but within hours major problems began to develop.
The protesters wanted to show everyone how compassionate they could be, and so they invited Seattle’s homeless population to share their free food.
Well, it turns out that the homeless people grabbed more of the food than they should have, and that created quite a crisis…
Yes, she was being quite serious.
If you live near CHAZ and you have extra “vegan meat substitutes, fruits, oats, soy products, etc.” laying around, there are some really hungry radicals that would really appreciate the help.
But please don’t bring them anything that has been heavily processed because that will just make them angry, and if you try to give them anything that contains real meat that could potentially set off a riot.
In addition to a looming food shortage, residents of CHAZ are also dealing with a leadership crisis. Now that all the police are gone, it was just a matter of time before someone else took charge, and the person that has taken charge is a “heavily-armed” rapper named Raz Simone…
Seattle’s new “autonomous zone” – a six-block area established by protesters after the police and National Guard pulled out of city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood – now has a ‘heavily-armed’ warlord, and he’s already enforcing his streets. Soundcloud rapper Raz Simone and his entourage have claimed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) as their territory – and have already been filmed regulating when a man wouldn’t stop spraying graffiti over an urban art installation, telling him “We are the police of this community now!”
Somehow Simone was able to get his hands on an AK-47, and even though we keep being told that these are “peaceful protests”, Simone has told those under his command that what they are facing “is war”…
Simone, a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, “This is war!” into a white-and-red megaphone and instructed armed paramilitaries to guard the barricades in shifts.
Before this stunt, hardly anyone had ever heard of Raz Simone, and I suppose that this is one way to make a name for yourself and sell a lot of records.

At first, Washington Governor Jay Inslee insisted that he didn’t even know that activists had taken over a large section of downtown Seattle.
Later on, he changed his tune, and now he is saying that he is hoping for a peaceful resolution.
And hopefully, that is precisely what we will see, but for now, the protesters appear to be determined to dig in for the long haul.
Watch this news segment to better understand what is happening in the Seattle neighborhood occupied by far-left extremists. @GovInslee said he wasn’t aware this was even happening. #antifa #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/zWufjJU5kA — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 11, 2020
Needless to say, President Trump is not amused by any of this.
In fact, he is warning that if local officials do not shut down CHAZ, he will do it himself…
President Trump issued a demand for Democratic controlled Seattle to be brought back under order immediately, as Antifa anarchists claimed control of a six-block zone and a police station. “Radical Left Governor [of Washington, Jay Inslee] and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before,” Trump tweeted late on Wednesday. “Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped [sic] IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!’” he continued.
It is hard to believe that this is actually happening in America.
But as I keep warning, what we have seen so far is just the beginning. As economic conditions deteriorate, Americans are just going to get even angrier and even more frustrated.
On Thursday, we learned that another 1.5 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week…
About 1.5 million Americans filed first-time applications for unemployment insurance last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. That pushes the tally of those who have made initial claims – a rough measure of layoffs – over the past 12 weeks to a staggering 44.1 million.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. Once states started reopening, the tsunami of job losses was supposed to stop, but instead, we continue to see Americans lose their jobs at a pace that is far beyond anything we have ever witnessed in all of U.S. history.
As I keep reminding my readers, the all-time record for a single week prior to this year was just 695,000. So until we get below that level, nobody should even think of using the word “recovery” to describe what is happening.
The truth is that the U.S. economy continues to fall apart all around us, and at this point, even the New York Times is admitting that damage has been done “to millions of interconnections” throughout our economic system…
The fabric of the economy has been ripped, with damage done to millions of interconnections — between workers and employers, companies and their suppliers, borrowers and lenders. Both the historical evidence from severe economic crises and the data available today point to enormous delayed effects. “There’s a lot of denial here, as there was in the 1930s,” said Eric Rauchway, a historian at the University of California, Davis, who has written extensively about the Great Depression. “At the beginning of the Depression, nobody wanted to admit that it was a crisis. The actions the government took were not adequate to the scope of the problem, yet they were very quick to say there had been a turnaround.”
If you think that the anger that we have experienced so far is something, just wait until you see what is coming in the years ahead.
We have entered a very disturbing new chapter in U.S. history, and events are beginning to spiral out of control.
Tens of millions of Americans have already lost their jobs, and the very generous unemployment bonuses that they have been getting are set to expire at the end of July.
A great deal of economic pain is on the horizon, a long, hot summer awaits us, and this is an election year.
All of that adds up to big trouble, and more major societal turmoil could be sparked at any moment.

There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
Hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time, but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this unto today. And so in April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
