Quote of the Day: BLM on Peaceful Protests
From Hawk Newsome, chairman of Black Lives Matter, speaking on Fox Nation:
I think that it is a tool of white supremacy to say if you want freedom, then you get it by protesting peacefully. For a country that drops bombs on people, for a country that incarcerates people, for a country that enslaves people — to criticize us for vandalism is preposterous, Why is it a tool of white supremacy? Because the white supremacists who built this country never earned anything peacefully. They did it through bullets and blood. And that’s the American way.
I wonder why gun sales are up as cities defund their police to meet this man’s demands. Like Austin, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Hartford, Norman (OK), and Salt Lake City, to name a few.
I wonder why Apple and Amazon and Google are pouring millions of dollars into this guy to support his ideas.
The Minneapolis City Council is locked in a legal battle to disband the Minneapolis police department.
VP Biden, do you have a response? Senator Harris? Hello?

Catherine Austin Fitts spells it out as to why the Huge Mega Corporations are pouring money into BLM and AntiFa.
She spells it out exactly. The maps where in every city and town across the USA devastating damage has occurred from serious looting and arson, mayhem and murder taking place match almost indexed street by indexed street the “Opportunity Zones” in the marginal real estate areas.
So even though the Huge Mega Corporations would get tax breaks for locating there, it still would have been expensive. but now that their paid mercenaries have gone in and burned down the buildings, ousted the shop owners, the Big Mega Corporations in the USA can go in and pay pennies on the dollar to0 build there. And then apply for the “Opportunity Zone” tax write offs.
Eisenhower would have had the military in the streets of Minneapolis and Seattle by June 3rd, as he knew you either nip this activity in the bud or forget it. We know that would have been his response because in order to save the lives of just a few African American school children, he ignored the warnings from the governor of Arkansas and the mayor of Little Rock to not even entertain the idea of having troops sent there. Too bad Trump never read about that chapter in our history.
vandalism? Is he referring to graffiti? Or has the meaning of ‘vandalism’ changed?
From Merriam-Webster:
So not just graffiti.
The new KKK.
Big tech think they’ll just keep growing as big but smaller business shrinks and dies and the chaos will all work itself out once the technocrats have control. It doesn’t work that way but they’ll go down fighting, unfortunately they’ll take the country with them. We’re not smaller homogeneous supercrat France. French centralization can’t work here and if they didn’t have to compete with us, it probably wouldn’t work there.
It doesn’t work there now.
