Twenty-two police officers injured as Brixton party ends in violence
The US and Britain are at their most perilous point in one hundred years. Once stable democratic nation states made great through struggle and suffering to gain comparative freedom at huge sacrifice to their own population are throwing it all away. The speed and ferocity of the attack is frightening, but this has been building for years, spreading from the 60s onwards through the university teaching systems, unquestioned. It emerged into the public arena as political correctness as each generation of students became more radical. Then came the final push to silence opposition with wokism, virtue-signalling, identity politics, and now racial division, an aberration of democracy and freedom of speech.
The Trump presidency has been under a continual coup, even before taking office. Involvement from the top down of Obama and his administration and security services is an inconvenience for the Democrats, and many Republicans feel the same. What it does show, is that at this moment in the history of the United States, the deep state are above the law. We are waiting for Attorney General Barr to prove otherwise, but since he has already stated it is unlikely that Obama or Biden will be called to testify, he has issued a free pass, move along, nothing to see. All is swept aside on a media tide of attacks on democracy and the rule of law by the radical left, as BLM take control and politicians scamper down rabbit holes trying to avoid the buckshot. Those who control the media control the narrative, never more true than it is today, as truth becomes fiction and fiction fact.
History is no longer the ‘right’ history, facts are no longer facts but interpretations. Our language is corrupted by thought-speak and ‘wrong-thinking’. Intersectionality seeps through to the subconscious of the people as they are dissected, examined and re-assembled from parts into a whole, as independent thought lies discarded on the slab. The monster of BLM has screamed into the world, its children intent on destroying everything that will not acknowledge them, blind, unreasoning, malicious, merciless, they search for the meaning of their own existence and find nothing but their own image staring back from an iPhone.
We are at the turning point. All opposition is being de-platformed, demonetised and silenced by the tyranny of the social media monopolies of Google, Facebook, Twitter, in the great lurch left to totalitarianism.
Our language has been acquired, repossessed and annexed, a grand and despicable M&A, dismembered, rendered useless and sold off to the corporates and big tech. They are laying off the workforce whom they consider obsolete and no longer useful for their purposes. The world has turned on its dark side, an unrecognisable corruption of reality. Boris Johnson is presiding over a shift into anarchy. The Labour party cannot win through the ballot box, the BLM are useful to them. The radical left have co-opted and subjugated the old left, they are one and the same, because disorder and destruction are their only route to power, and they are taking it.
As temperatures rise and unrest spreads, London is braced for another week of anarchy. A combination of Covid-19 restrictions, a hands-off police policy, and subsequent breakdown of law and order follows years of devolution of police enforcement powers to local authorities, and pushes London towards breakdown. Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, has announced funding cuts to an already undermanned and demoralised front line police force of £110 million over the next 2 years, #BLM defund the police. The country is undergoing a communist insurrection, a cultural marxist revolution indulged and endorsed by the elites. Far left racial divisionists and mainstream media incite violence, pushing the marxist agenda, whilst the rest of the population is so punch- drunk with the speed of the takeover, it does not even recognise that it is about to hit the canvas.
THE TYRANNY OF BLM
BLM is a marketing exercise by the three founders, all trained radical Marxists. Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Cullors. The public have been played. No sympathy there. If you put your name or your money to a cause, the least you can do is look it up and see what you are supporting and find out what is behind the hype. Follow the money.
There is bet-hedging from ‘left-light’ political commentators who are afraid to declare the emperor has no clothes. They advocate that it is not BLM and the rise of cultural marxism that we should be worried about, but the rise of the far-right in reaction to it. The far-right, or simply put, anyone who sees BLM for what they are, a cultural marxist totalitarian power-grab, are not the ones that require people to kneel before them, pull down and deface statues, injure police, the public and public property. BLM are the ones inciting riots through racial division, bullying small children, calling to abolish the police, and end capitalism and the family. It is time to get off the bench and stop trying to play both sides of the field. It is cowardly and will end in your own demise as all is swept aside by the mob. Come the revolution, and it is coming, you want to know who will hold the line with you and who will run, so best to find out now.
BULLY
At a party in Harrow Road London this week, police were pelted with objects and prevented from entering the area by youths shouting “you’re not coming in” The police released a statement:
“Following engagement within the local community we are hopeful that crowds are dispersing.”
A quick look on Google translate will tell you this means – ‘they threw stuff at us, so we left’
The message is, don’t bother to call the council or the police, your neighbourhood is now run by youth mobs. The hardest hit by this lawlessness are in the poorest communities, in the council blocks, the housing association accommodation. The gentrified can sell up and ship out with their kids, the same kids advocating and encouraging the cultural revolution and racial division that is destroying London. The same kids that will be the politicians of tomorrow.
Local authorities have the power to issue ASBOs (Anti-Social Behaviour Orders) noise abatement orders, and to seize equipment, but in most instances do not have the manpower or the resources to do so. They are the front line community police for out of control raves and parties, and they are the ones that engage with the local community and youth offenders and understand what is happening on the ground. Most no longer operate ‘out of hour services’ which is a nonsense, since that is exactly the time they are needed. All that can be done is for a complaint to be lodged after the fact. The police rarely engage with locals, instead they have a faceless, distant, centralised Met police call centre.
Parliament have made mass gatherings and peaceful protests unlawful for the moment, but there is an exception. Northumbria police issued this statement yesterday:
“We’ll be in attendance to facilitate a planned Black Lives Matter vigil at Keel Square in #Sunderland tonight. A Section 14 order is in place forbidding any other public assembly, including counter-protests, to ensure the public’s safety.” – Northumbria Police
This was echoed yesterday in London as more subsets of BLM demonstrators were allowed into central London in a Black Trans Lives Matter rally. Thousands of activists marched through central London in place of Pride celebrations that had been cancelled due to Covid-19 health fears. Banners of “White silence is violence” were held above the crowd, and a sign outside Parliament defaced, crossing out ‘Parliament’ and replacing it with “racists”. The law is no longer applied equally. Radical left marxists running BLM take over the centre of London each weekend and grow emboldened, realising the law does not apply to them.
London 16 Jun 2020:
“MPs have unanimously approved the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (Amendment) (No.3) Regulations 2020. This new law bans mass gatherings in London in a fight to stop the spread of the deadly virus”
In Westminster, the government in their elite London bubble, seem unwilling to admit to the sense of unease amongst the public as law-abiding citizens are beginning to wonder if they even cares, They know that Sadiq Khan is intent on causing as much pain as he can to the population of London. It is likely the police will abandon the streets if a serious riot breaks out. Londoners see this as a real possibility, it has happened before.
The last sustained rioting across London was sparked by the death of Mark Duggan in 2011. This saw disaffected youths vandalising property, looting, and assaulting people. Police were unable to respond to the speed of the rioting or to the numbers on the streets. The disorder spread to other parts of the UK and showed the power of social media to ignite and inflame tensions. An astonishing 3,000 people were arrested and 1,000 criminal charges brought for various crimes related to the riots. It was anarchy. There were 5 deaths and 16 injured as a direct result.
These riots are still fresh in the mind due to their speed and ferocity and the opportunistic and senseless nature of the crimes committed. The same atmosphere is building, this time based on the BLM righteous rage and racial division agenda. If the police cannot shut down a party, they cannot contain a riot.
The BLM construct lights a fire under race relations, deliberately so. The law-abiding citizen is unprotected and demonised. It is woke politics on steroids.
“Developing and delivering training, police monitoring and strategies for the abolition of police.” – gofundmeUK BLM
BLM has seeped into all aspects of our lives, online, onto the streets and into the language. It is a very aggressive form of indoctrination and advertising, it is impossible to get away from on any media platform, television, radio, advertising and is being relentlessly pushed by corporates. The premise is, if you are white you are a racist. BLM is controlling the news narrative. The British and American public are under attack by a cult largely endorsed by their governments who, instead of defending the people that voted them into power, take the side of the mob.
We are living through a transition to totalitarianism. The attacks are coming in waves, each wave growing in intensity, consuming and feeding off the last. They carry with them the worst disruptors of society of which there are many. They are active at demonstrations, as trained jihadists infiltrate and disrupt alongside Antifa and BLM activists.
In America, heavily armed populist militia groups are growing and forming a coalition with the police, preparing for the fight-back. In the UK, there is no second amendment right to bear arms, so citizens are at the mercy of government policy. The police and government are working against their own people, the only way to fight back is to move out and find relative safety, this is what is happening in London.
Left wing councils all over the UK are forcing agreement to Marxist agenda. This is a battle between the people vs the elite political class. There is deep suspicion of all that they represent, government, corporate, education, media, church, all seem designed to silence those they claim to represent and to further their own, centralised globalist ideology. BLM are just another branch of this elite. This is Groundhog Day, the same argument that was played out after the Brexit referendum, that democracy does not matter, this is just the next battle in a far more extreme, pervasive and corrupt form.
This is a race war incited by woke identity politics, facilitated by middle class white malcontents and snowflakes, overindulged by their parents and allowed to continue tantrums far beyond their teens, encouraged and enabled by neoliberal university educators and group-think on social media. It is an assault on the soul of nations, aided by domestic terrorists with the blessing of big government. It is the opposite of the spirit of Brexit, the opposite of independent thought. It is against the rule of law, the constitution, it is the destruction of the West by a decadent and controlling elite completely out of touch with its own people.
On television, white primary school kids are humiliated and confused as they are asked to explain their white privilege. This is the ultimate endorsement of bullying by a political elite. BLM have ignited a race war, it is being played out in schools, on the streets and in the political arena, we are being told we must ‘see colour’, to actively encourage division by colour. There is no room for discussion or debate with this hypersensitive Facebook generation who are incapable of having an opinion unless it is ‘liked’ by consensus. Racial profiling is being endorsed across all mainstream media platforms.
Both Britain and America have governments that are weak and vulnerable, both countries are ripe for the taking. Shaun King could not have staged this uprising more skilfully, no doubt he has a strong hand in this and directs from his throne at Harvard Law School. Sadiq Khan and Cressida Dick do his bidding.
Norman Brennan, Director of the Law and Order Foundation, on Talk Radio London said of the anarchy in Britain:
“We are barely able to police everyday issues. We have lost 22,000 officers, 4,000 of them in the Met. Just look how that has depleted backing up their own colleagues dealing with any public disorders that we are beginning to see on our streets, almost daily now. It’s embarrassing, I feel for my colleagues. In thirty-one years of policing I can’ t recall a single time that I ran away from an incident. A). I knew I would be getting back-up and B). we had this sort of fearlessness amongst us that the criminal element were not allowed to run riot, they were not allowed to rule the streets. That’s our job, and we rule the streets on behalf of society. What the Commissioner does {Cressida Dick}, and she does it all the time, is to close it down, you can see her political stance.
What public order incident that breaks out on the streets, most probably in London, is going to ignite wide scale public disorder throughout Britain? It takes one. At this moment in time, it’s like a litmus paper. Which incident is going to light it?”
BLM can only feel encouraged, just like a spoilt child testing how far they can go until the adult in the room says, no more. The problem is, there are no adults in the room.
Boris Johnson and Priti Patel are full of platitudes, but they do nothing. This is no longer a Conservative party that are strong on public order, this is a Conservative Party far left of Tony Blair. A party out of touch with its core voters, so much so that all it can do is steal the ideas from another party to win an election, as it did from Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party in 2019. It seems to think that to deliver on Brexit is enough, but this terrible unease that has come over the country is at boiling point, as the law-abiding citizen is chastised and knocked back into silence again and again.
In London, you can feel the tension on the ground, simmering, mostly unsaid, but it is there. The elites in the London bubble don’t see this, and so it festers. They have no sense of place, only a sense of self. For them it is an experiment in socialism, for the public it is a crisis. When a country has to take up arms to protect itself, will such a diversity of communities, such disparity in wealth, of ideas, of religions, be able to come together to defeat the enemy? Will it even be able to identify who that enemy is when the government and their agencies, so contemptuous of the public, and yet so naive themselves, cannot. That question will be answered soon. The public will get no help, the elites have chosen to go to war against their own people. They have taken to a serpent to their bosom, an insidious viper that is sowing the seeds of racial unrest. It is a construct by forces wishing to subvert and cause pain and to take power over those already weak and demoralised from Covid-19. A woke, cultural revolution of media and government institutions against all that the British public hold dear.
“I believe that the mainstream media in Britain are stoking and inciting people to be disorderly on the streets of Britain. It’s almost as though they would love it if there were wide-scale public disorder.” – Norman Brennan
More than this, it is the aim of BLM, Antifa and the increasingly Marxist socialist left, many of whom preside in Westminster, to cause exactly that. The public are at this very moment being beaten into submission.
Anyone who lives in London becomes streetwise very fast, and stories of citizens being marched to an ATM at knife point are common. These are not petty crimes. In one of the largest local authorities in London run by a Labour council for many years, their crime enforcement team has been reduced to 4 for a population of approx 324,000. The need by government to reduce perceived crime has led to such madness. This hollows out the middle class who are moving away from London as they feel it is no longer a safe place to live or raise children. Judging from the battles in some of the most gentrified and highly-priced boroughs in London, they are right.
Whilst most citizens are still under restrictions in ‘bubbles’ of social contact, others are totally immune to either enforcement or prosecution. Priti Patel talks tough but if she were serious, she would fire Cressida Dick. Alongside Sadiq Kahn, the marxist agitator who despises his own country, they are killing London, without law and order on the streets, and law and order applied equally, there is nothing. They are poisonous.
This overtly racist tribalist drive to divide the cities is yet another realignment of the elites. Those outside the London bubble indoctrination zone are not buying into any of this and grow more sceptical by the day. This is a choice. You chose civilisation, free speech, the constitution and the rule of law, you defend it vociferously, or you let it all crumble to dust and be taken over by the radical left, who will have power over you until death.
I think there is a confusion here between "the elitists", or plutocrats, and "the leftists", or Marxists, or socialists.
ReplyDeleteThe plutocrats are not socialists in the precise meaning of the word, for, in the precise meaning of the word, there are no elitists, no ruling class composed of those with all the money, assets, and the power accompanying those under non-socialist regimes.
The plutocrats very likely find it expedient to pose as socialists, for the same reason as Germany's "national socialists", the Nazi party, did. It fooled a lot of people who should have known better, to their own great loss (often of life).
It also seems very likely the so-called leftist, Marxist, and socialist groups who now front the plutocrats "out in the streets" make the best useful idiots for the plutocrats, and I fully expect them to be disposed of in one gigantic flush of the toilet once their use has been fully exploited.
In the U.S., I started wondering about the relationship between Antifa and the FBI some time ago, when I started to get credible reports from alt-right and far right groups about the pass the FBI gave Antifa while cracking down hard on them, even though their offenses were much less, and were provoked. They were complaining about the unfairness of this, rightly so. Yet the take-away for me was the possible motive of the FBI: to, in the future, use Antifa as agents provocateur to delegitimize peaceful and lawful protests, which I have seen as inevitable, eventually.
The damned idiots also appear stupid enough to be emboldened by seemingly being able to get away with anything, not realizing how conditional and easily withdrawn this support will prove to be.
I can't help noticing how attention shifted so dramatically and decisively from the pandemic to such organizations as BLM, and the emphasis for blaming society's "most perilous point in one hundred years" to flake fringe groups such as BLM which purely and simply did not and do not have this power, even of influence. (There was popular support for the peaceful protests, and outrage at George Floyd's death, but very, very little support for any of the violence and destruction.)It can't become one of the most powerful political organizations in the US and Britain so suddenly and surprisingly on its own. It has elite support-- period. If we want to blame BLM we better not forget this.
"Once stable democratic nation states made great through struggle and suffering to gain comparative freedom at huge sacrifice to their own population are throwing it all away."
These stable and democratic nations noticeably threw it all away earlier this year.
I was looking at recent pictures of Trump at his press conferences. I don't see Pence in the background. I see Fauci. Do we even notice how odd that is?
"The damned idiots also appear stupid enough to be emboldened by seemingly being able to get away with anything, not realizing how conditional and easily withdrawn this support will prove to be."
DeleteAs confirmed by this new report headline:
Seattle Police Dismantle CHOP After Protesters Threaten Mayor's $7 Million House
I have to add something I saw in the papers this morning.
ReplyDeleteIn Alaska, unemployment benefits will begin ending in about a week. There is, in my opinion, little likelihood the state is going to want to extend them. I say this because the current governor here is anti-labor and also opposed to government-provided benefits of this sort.
Demand for employees is not going to meet a sudden surge in labor supply, not even close. To make matters worse, the state and governor appear to be prepared to impose lock down or near lock down policies as the state braces for "the second wave" of infection.
What are these people going to do? Are they going to try to protest? Under these conditions, I would be thinking twice about that, and I would ordinarily support peaceful and lawful protest under these conditions. Most of these folks have abhorred what the recent protests devolved into, and likely don't in any way want to be associated with that kind of crap. I do not know what other choices they have. I doubt they can move back in with their parents, if they could even afford to travel thousands of miles from here to the continental US. (Did you know I cannot enter Canada? They would turn me back at the border. Therefore, driving home, one relatively affordable option, is likely out of the question for newly-impoverished Alaskans.
As of July 1st, the CDC shows 11 Alaskan Covid19 deaths. This is the first time the CDC has shown any. The number just jumped from 0 to 11.
According to various reports, including this in the Atlantic, CDC stats are entirely rubbish:

The government’s disease-fighting agency is conflating viral and antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and other states are doing the same.

"What are these people going to do?"
ReplyDeleteThe question is whether you believe government serves the people, or the people serve the governing class.
The Republican right naturally think these people can either go work for Amazon, or maybe a black economy sweat shop at below minimum wage, or they can shut up and die.
The Democratic left seem to want a Communist revolutionary dictatorship, which would presumably send the unemployed to forced labor camps.
Neither right nor left is interested in a democratic solution, i.e., action by the government supposedly of and for the people to serve the interests of the nation, i.e., the people as a whole. Therefore, the long-term unemployed will likely have to get used to sleeping in cars, under bridges or in cardboard boxes, while resorting to theft or scavenging dumpsters for food.
But if a solution were desired, a solution would be to abolish the minimum wage and institute a negative tax. This would create a pool of legal cheap labor that would make possible a revival of manufacturing in America from toys to textiles, and from car parts to computer chips. Meantime, the low-wage work force thus created would earn a living wage while acquiring skills to enhance the future value of their labor.
I wrote about the negative income tax as a solution to unemployment at the time to of the 2008 financial crisis:

Something clunkier than the negative income tax (and only temporary) has been instituted by the Government of Canada to deal with the present economic depression:
DeleteEmployers — Canada’s 75% Wage Subsidy Now Enacted
Thanks for the link to Canada's 75% wage subsidy.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things bugging me is I believe suffering in the USA will be more intense than elsewhere in the West is the USA pretty much dissolved, or drastically reduced, its social safety net, most dramatically starting in the 1980's. I'm not even sure if enough of the remaining administrative infrastructure is sufficiently strong to be revved up in this soon-to-be emergency situation.
As you mentioned above, the politics of both parties, and their policies, have been in the interests of one class, and that's not been the working class. The working class had been sold out by its representatives and "leaders" and the consequences of this were becoming all too apparent even before Covid-19 delivered its coup de grace.
I still think there's a lot to be said for the speculation both Covid-19 and the BLM riots and violence, are ways of deflecting blame and rage away from those sell-out politicians and those for whom they sold out.
Especially the BLM riots.
I found this quote, from J. Edgar Hoover's 1967 FBI directive (COINTELPRO) regarding the Black Panthers, student "subversives", and others Hoover dubbed "hate-type organizations:
"...to expose, disrupt, misdierect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of black nationalist, hate-type organizations...The activities of all such groups of intelligence interest to this Bureau must be followed on a continuous basis...Efforts of various groups to consolidate their forces or to recruit new or youthful adherents must be frustrated. No opportunity should be missed to exploit...the organizational and personal conflicts of the leaderships of the groups....[and] to capitalize upon existing conflicts between competing black nationalist organizations."
This stuff (which included murder and political assassination--Hoover directed his agents to use "any means necessary") never went away. It wasn't punished. I really don't understand how any activist group, no matter how well-intentioned, would ignore this factor and the role it will play in turning those good intentions into their exact opposite. There would have to be some way to neutralize the neutralizers...I've never seen the plan.
Here's Ronald Reagan declaring war against the "hate-type groups" prior to winning, by landslide, his second term as governor of California:

The link is to usdefensewatch.com, which views Reagan approvingly, as did California voters in 1970 and then just a decade later, voters throughout the nation.
One could almost understand approval in 1970: most people didn't know, and couldn't be expected to know, what was going on behind the scenes. This should not have been the case in 1980, and in my opinion shouldn't be the case now.
