Like the Hydra in Greek mythology, life seems to be rearing all of its ugly heads at once. And it's ready to take us all down with it.

To be the victor, we have to keep our eye on the whole thing while bringing it down bit by bit.
Although George Floyd's death was seemingly the catalyst for everything, I began looking into patterns in different issues from their first appearance in American society and tried to draw connections within and outside of each.

I'm going to try to keep it cohesive as possible.
There's significant overlaps, but also some notably rogue efforts that are also in the fray. Alright, that's enough metaphors for now.

In the center you have the Black Lives Matter movement, which is closely flanked by the All Lives Matter response.
If you add in celebrities grandstanding, billionaires and their money influencing everything and everyone they can, local and state officials making drastic decisions with virtually no push back, & an already-pissed off general public, you're looking at a truly terrifying beast.
Here are a few things I want to address:
- George Soros and his foundation's money have gone to just about every person, news outlet, and initiative that has shaped the state of current dialogue.
- Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization with communism as the goal.
The calls used to be to reform protocols for abusive police behavior, to shut down for-profit prisons, and to prioritize mental health services when possible.

I support all of that wholeheartedly. I think the majority of us do.
As the weeks following George Floyd's death passed, it became obvious the movement had gone in a new direction entirely.

Several, really.

I firmly believe the right to protest, but draw the line at flat-out anarchism and riots.. a specialty of Antifa.
Antifa has stirred up controversies for years, but in the last few months membership can also get you designated a member of a domestic terrorist group.

Even more bizarrely, the children of prominent Democrat leaders are pledging their efforts and resources.
For example on Mar 26, 2017, Tim Kaine's son was charged with three different misdemeanors. He and a group of friends ambushed people leaving a Trump Rally with smoke bombs, mace and fireworks. The situation in St. Paul that night was dangerous & chaotic.

Tim was Hillary Clinton's former running mate in 2016, if you didn't recall.

His son resisted arrest continuously during the entire occasion.
Chiara de Blasio was arrested on May 31, 2020 for blocking traffic and was arrested after refusing to move.

The next day, Bill de Blasio gave a speech and said anarchist agitators had co-opted the protests.

“It is a small number of people. It is well organized."
You also had Hope Walz, daughter of Tim Walz (Minnesota's governor) gave rioters inside information about military activity, and Isra Hirsi, Ilhan Omar's daughter, sought suppliers for her rioting comrades in Minneapolis.
You also have Keith Ellison, current Attorney General of Minnesota, taking selfies while holding up the Anti-Fascist Handbook saying it would "strike fear into the heart of @realDonaldTrump."
August 2018, @SpeakerPelosi condemned Antifa, and said the Democrats had no place for the "violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa. You’re not talking about the far left of the Dem Party — they’re not even Dems, a lot of them are socialists or anarchists or whatever."
5/31/20 Jeremiah Ellison:

"I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA. Unless someone can prove to me ANTIFA is behind the burning of black & immigrant owned businesses in my ward, I’ll keep focusing on stopping the white power terrorist THE ARE ACTUALLY ATTACKING US!"
A multitude of others have mentioned vague support for Antifa, and at the very least, it seems like the majority of our elected leaders are flat out ignoring their efforts to slowly bring everything you love to the ground in rubble and ashes.
Let's be very clear:
There is NOTHING progressive about Antifa or anarchy.

Following conservatives on social media & showing up at rallies to 'smash nazis' is the most childish shit I've ever heard of. Punching an old guy isn't defeating racism, but it does make you an asshole.
However, it is that same childish language that has slowly created the narrative that everyone is a Nazi and white supremacy permeates the very air you breathe in and out.

But it's done on purpose. When you call someone a Nazi, you can paint the issue as black and white.
Who cares if they’re a Nazi, right?

Well, who the fuck decides what’s "far right"?

Who decides who's dangerous and who’s not?

People in the US call practically every member of the GOP racists & Nazis, is being right wing all it takes?
The problem is we live in a society where too many people don’t know what the word means. It's being overused to the point of losing its meaning.

It’s a stand-in now for “people who disagree with me” or “people who aren’t politically left enough”.
If you justify arbitrary, lawless violence against any “Nazi”, the over-application of the word becomes a massive issue. I’ve been called a Nazi in conversations for not agreeing with far left politics.

Are there racists out there that could use a kick in the ass?

Definitely.
However, that’s not the society we live in. We teach kindergartners we don’t solve emotional problems with our hands.

We’ve forgotten that.
Innocent people are becoming victims.
The most Nazi-like behavior often comes from those claiming to oppose it.

They have no clue.
The people most worried about secret police marching the streets freely using violence, intimidation, & fear, to control people are ones with crowbars, mace, concrete milkshakes, & masks on.

Forget political labels - look at behavior.

They are the real Nazis, & it has to stop.
So what does this have to do with George Soros?

Agitation & propaganda are classic tactics Marxist Leninist organizations use to undermine public confidence & destabilize foundations of any democracy.

A way of achieving this goal is to mold consensus of public opinion.
This is done by seeking out & cultivating grievances, real & imagined, & create the narrative that current political, social, & environmental conditions are intolerable.

Example: Bernie and AOC criticizing capitalism while both living very comfortable lives.
It may seem the far left's main goal is to promote their amorphous social justice agenda, but really the ultimate goal of is to control (or be able to control) all aspects of freedom of speech & expression previously not up for debate.

To achieve this, you have several-
Different far-left groups with "close enough" common interests for now to move in sync with one another.

For example, the Muslim Brotherhood has explicitly stated their ultimate goal in the US is to transform the United States into an Islamic state governed by sharia law
The leftists want to tear down existing social & political order for redistribution of wealth, privilege, and open borders.

Clearly, this is not compatible down the road, but a marriage of convenience for the time being is working out well.
Furthermore, you've got democrats doing their best to prevent everything from Supreme Court justice nominations, the bullshit "Russian Collusion" saga, have verbalized numerous times that they believe the electoral college needs to go.
Another 'head of the hydra' is Black Lives Matter.

Simply by giving the organization the name BLM paints the same black and white picture as the anarchists do:

If you don't support Black Lives Matter, you're a white supremacist. Or a Nazi. Sometimes both!
The current call to defund police is not the end goal of BLM. They seek to abolish the police.

See below article, "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police" by Mariame Kaba

Mariame is a member of BLM Chicago & former Soros Justice Fellow.

The assertions made in Mariame's article are very twisted truths or simply untrue.

For example:
BLM claims quite often the police emerged from southern slave patrols in the 1700s and 1800s.

This is a lie.
The first public-funded police force began 1838 in Boston to protect harbors and safeguard transport of goods. The cost of maintaining a force went to citizens, as it was for the “collective good."

Local militias formed slave patrols that can trace back to North Carolina, 1704.
Furthermore, in Boston in 1636 volunteer night watches formed. New York followed in 1658. Philadelphia in 1700. Watchmen often slept and drank while on duty, and people were put on watch as punishment.
There are a lot of other very bold claims made by the NYT article, and they're repeated constantly by other BLM reps.

It's all sourced from one specific book:

"The End of Policing" by Alex S. Vitale

I've read it, & I'll go into detail about it at length eventually.
Mariame claims, “The vast majority of police officers make one felony arrest a year. If they make two, they’re cop of the month.”

There are about 328M US citizens & at the end of 2018, 686,665 full-time LEOs.

That's 0.21% of US getting a felony. It's a good thing they aren't!
These are the rates of crime per 100,000 residents in 2018 as well as average number of reported violent crimes from 1990 - 2018. All trending way down.

In 2018:
7.2M property crimes
1.21M violent crimes
807,400 aggravated assaults
Percentage of crimes brought to a conclusion by an arrest is growing in almost every category. All trending up significantly year over year.
Alex Vitale's book draws from BYP100's 'Agenda to Build Black Futures.'
'The Agenda to Build Black Futures' largely mirrors the platform of the Black Panther Party of the 1960's and 1970's -
The Black Panther Party was founded by Huey P.Newton and Bobby Seale on October 15, 1966 and was one of the most controversial groups of the 60's. At a time of peaceful rallies, they were holding assault rifles. (I see nothing wrong with this, but it was a big deal at the time).
Newton and Seale were Marxists, and it is well-documented that BLM has a lot of Marxist-Leninist ties as well. (More later).

They were also very vocal about appreciation of Mao Zedong & the Cultural Revolution, which purged capitalist/traditional elements from Chinese society
Mao proclaimed "to rebel is justified" and China's youth & urban workers formed Red Guards & "rebel groups" around the country. Lin Biao, Mao's successor, compiled the Little Red Book, a selection of Mao's sayings that became a sacred text for Mao's personality cult.
The Cultural Revolution damaged China's economy & traditional culture, with an estimated death toll in the millions. Massacres included: Guangxi Massacre, Inner Mongolia incident, Guangdong Massacre, Yunnan Massacres, and the Hunan Massacres.
Red Guards destroyed historical relics as well as artifacts, and ransacked cultural and religious sites. Tens of millions were persecuted and accused of membership in 5 Black Categories, facing public humiliation, prison, torture, hard labor, seizure of property, & execution.
Red Guards dragged the remains of the Wanli Emperor and Empresses to the front of their tomb, where they were posthumously "denounced" and burned.

Intellectuals were persecuted- notable scholars & scientists such as Lao She, Fu Lei & Yao Tongbin were killed or committed suicide.
Revolution aimed to destroy "Four Olds" (customs, culture, habits, & ideas) & establish "Four News" ranging from changed names & cutting hair to looting homes, vandalizing cultural treasures & desecrating temples. Buildings, artifacts, antiques, books & paintings were destroyed.
The well-being of the black community is a concern of mine. However, Black Lives Matter and true Antifa members are a massive threat to not only the black community, but society as a whole. The end goal is authoritarian communism, and George Soros is a major funder.
George Soros & the Open Society Foundation networks are among the world’s largest philanthropists, with major impact on a global scale.

George Soros has been undermining the fabric of society for a very long time and calling it progress.
Example: Soros funded the film Riot From Wrong, which covers the 2011 riots that broke out across London. It began over Mark Duggan being shot by police. A protest of about 200 people formed. 12 hours later a full-scale riot with brazen looting spread across north-London suburbs.
A more aggressive crowd showed up about four hours in, some carrying weapons. "These people were prepared," said Bill Dow, a bystander. "They had fireworks and petrol cans." A rumor spread that a girl was beaten by police, and all hell broke loose.
Fully Focused, the producer of the film, is funded by the Youth Initiative, Media Program, Education Support Program, and At Home in Europe Project of the Open Society Foundations.

It speaks in very rosy terms about the need for riots and their effect.
Also, compare the image of the London fire to the one of the low-income housing burning down in Minneapolis...

To be continued.
