In the wake of recent deadly clashes between Black Lives Matter activists and counter-protesters in Portland and Kenosha, Wis., the media is rolling out a new narrative: that right-wing extremists have introduced firearms to what have been, until now, “largely peaceful protests,” and BLM demonstrators are now trying to figure out how to keep themselves safe.
Consider an appallingly dishonest New York Times headline on Tuesday that declared, “As Guns Get Drawn at Protest Sites, Demonstrators Fear a Volatile New Phase.” The Times frames months of protests and street violence nationwide as “largely between protesters and the police, with the conflict playing out in tear gas volleys and lobbed projectiles.”
In this telling, the deadly clashes in Portland and Kenosha represent “a more perilous turn” because of the arrival of “right-wing activists” with firearms who are “bent on countering the racial justice protests with an opposing vision of America”—as if we’re seeing a peaceful and benign protest movement suddenly under threat from MAGA-hat-wearing militias.

— The New York Times (@nytimes) September 1, 2020This is gaslighting on steroids. In fact, BLM protests have been violent from the beginning, long before “right-wing activists” showed up with guns. The list of shootings and violent crimes committed by BLM protesters is long, and it destroys the mainstream media’s false narrative that these protests have been peaceful.
There were the fatal shootings in Seattle’s CHOP back in June that left two teenagers dead and one wounded. There was the man who was burned to death inside a pawn shop during riots in Minneapolis in May. There’s all the footage of BLM activists attacking people in the streets, like the Portland man who was dragged from his truck and beaten unconscious by a mob last month. And of course, there’s been the persistent and widespread looting and mayhem in cities like Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and elsewhere.
There has also been plenty of gunplay at these so-called protests, and any claim to the contrary is utterly divorced from reality. What follows is a partial list, just for the record.
BLM Gunman Reportedly Shoots Driver In Provo, Utah
In late June, 33-year-old Jesse Taggart was arrested in Provo, Utah, after police say he ran up to an SUV that drove past a BLM protest and shot the driver through the passenger-side window. The driver, a 60-year-old Provo resident, was not part of the protest or any counter-protest, but just happened to be driving by. Full Article @ Gateway Pundit

BLM states that it wants to abolish the nuclear family, police, prisons and capitalism. BLM leaders have threatened to "burn down the system" if their demands are not met.

Russian Origins of Black Neo-Marxism
This philosophical concept belongs to Noel Ignatiev, a white American of Russian origin, who is the ideological founding father of numerous radical black movements in America. The author of this concept was even lucky enough to see his best students -- Black Lives Matter (BLM) -- in action. Read More
Socialism and Communism Rooted in Racism
Marx and Engels were ardent Racists whose views were similar to Hitlers
Karl Marx was an ardent racist as was his co-conspirator, Frederick Engels. Socialism and communism were hotbeds of anti-antisemitism and racism in the early years. In the 1930s the Western Socialist realm divided itself into the Nazi wing and the Stalinist wing. Contrary to current day dogma, yes - the Nazis were indeed socialists who emphasized the racial aspects of the socialist dementia, as opposed to the Stalinist faction, which concentrated more heavily on sewing strife via socio-economic class warfare.
For Marx, racism wasn’t contradictory to his ideological views. Marx believed, as did many leftists of his time, that for “progress” to take place, some ethnicities had to be eliminated and figuratively devoured by more advanced and powerful nations. Much like Margaret Sanger, the founder of planned parenthood, who believed the Negro race should be eugenically abolished as they were "human weeds that should never have been born". Read More
