If fentanyl casualty George Floyd gives history buffs déjà vu, they might be thinking of Nazi martyr Horst Wessel. Rabbi Michael Barclay points out similarities:

Like the death of George Floyd, Horst Wessel was the spark that Goebbels and Hitler used to motivate “peaceful demonstrations” that were in actuality violent riots funded and planned with the intention of gaining national power through violence and fear. In the same way that the Nazis pressured the German government to fly the Nazi flag next to the German tri-color flag, our State Department has done the same with the acceptance of the BLM flag being flown over federal buildings.

Never mind reductio ad Hitlerum. Rabbis are not known for making light of the Nazi regime. When they start remarking on the similarities between Hitler’s rise to power and radicalized Democrats, we have a problem.

The subordination of education to radical ideology is another parallel:

Teaching CRT, the 1619 Project, and values in contradiction to Biblical ethics is not the behavior of only current leftists. “After the Nazis came to power in 1933, they quickly passed new laws to make public education reflect and teach their nationalist and racial ideologies.” By 1936, 97% of German teachers were members of the National Socialist Teacher’s League and changed the school curricula to reflect Nazi values.

Similarly, American teachers tend to belong to radical unions that promote the indoctrination of children with antiwhite race hate and depraved LGBT ideology.

Democrats’ Covid decrees call to mind the emergency powers Paul von Hindenburg employed to pave the way for Hitler. Awful as the senile and incompetent Biden has been, he may serve as a bridge to someone worse still, as Hindenburg was for Hitler.

Yet another parallel is the advanced age and questionable competency of Hindenburg and Biden: Hindenburg was 84 when he seized this power and destroyed democracy in Germany.

The similarity between the Reichstag Fire and the leftist exploitation of January 6 is so obvious, Barclay didn’t bother to mention it.

The cherry on this sinister sundae is the new Ministry of Truth, a reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels’ Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

As Rabbi Barclay concludes,

What we have recently been experiencing is a direct copy of what brought and kept the Nazis in power and nearly led to the destruction of freedom in the world.

If we succumb to authoritarian maniacs like Germans did last century, who will come to our rescue? The ChiComs will defeat a military run by liberals, but they will not restore our freedom.

Even now, the liberal establishment deifies the scumbags who tore the country apart during the 2020 riots. Good thing pushback sometimes works:

A public meeting in Kenosha, Wis., descended into chaos Monday night as one resident accused the parks commission of quietly trying to approve a proposal to memorialize one of the two men killed by Kyle Rittenhouse in 2020.

The commission ultimately tabled the proposal after multiple residents showed [opposition to] the placement of a memorial tree and plaque commemorating Anthony Huber at Anderson Park.

Huber had already begun to compile a criminal record when he acquired his 15 minutes of fame during a riot in support of violent sociopath Jacob Blake by trying to use a skateboard to bash in the skull of a well-meaning kid who was there to defend people’s property. Fortunately, Kyle Rittenhouse was armed.

A vignette from the criminal history of Anthony Huber came to light during the attempted railroading of Rittenhouse, and provides insight into what the town bureauweenies want taxpayers to memorialize:

“[Anthony] Huber told his brother that if he didn’t start cleaning a room in his house he was going to gut him like a pig,” Rittenhouse’s lawyer Corey Chirafisi said adding that Huber did this while holding a 6-inch butcher’s knife to the brother’s stomach. …

Huber allegedly sat back watching the brother and his grandmother clean while threatening to kill the brother if he stopped, Chirafisi said.

“Huber grabbed his brother by the neck, dug his nails in and choked him for approximately ten seconds,” the lawyer said. “He put a knife to his brother’s left ear and his brother felt it cut.”

“I’m going to burn the house down with all you f—kers in it,” Chirafisi told the judge Huber said.

Former Kenosha alderman Kevin Mathewson now works as an investigative journalist. He notes that the commission tabled the proposed Anthony Huber memorial instead of voting it down, allowing themselves to slip it past later when no one is paying attention. That’s why we must always be on guard, lest we one day find ourselves living in a country where liberals have replaced all the heroes with criminals and creeps.

When it comes to New York City degenerating into an anarchotyrannical hellhole where no law-abiding citizen is safe, Black Lives Matter maniacs and the Democrats who enable them share the blame. Yet the former blames the latter:

A Black Lives Matter leader who last year threatened “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor Eric Adams cracked down on crime turned around Thursday and blamed him for letting New York City turn into a “war zone” — while also using racial invective against the Big Apple’s second black leader.

Ostensibly, Eric Adams and BLM leader Hawk Newsome are both black. But according to Newsome, Adams is a “white man in blackface, and a very conservative-minded white man at that.”

Eric Adams is one kooky moonbat, but compared to Black Lives Matter — the object of abject adoration by the liberal establishment — Adams is a conservative.

Despite his promise of riots, fire, and bloodshed if Adams attempts to enforce the law, even Newsome is too conservative to like the NYC policy of providing taxpayer-financed vending machines for junkies in poor neighborhoods in the name of racial equity.

Adams had better hope the liberal media doesn’t learn that he is actually a white guy. If his race card gets revoked, he will no longer be immune from significant criticism.

Even if Black Lives Matter blames the Democrats in charge for the maelstrom of violence that leftism has caused, Dems don’t blame it back. From a prepared statement from the Mayor’s office:

“Mayor Adams has made clear that he believes that Black Lives Matter, but, as he said, he is hopeful that more New Yorkers will stand up and show their outrage when innocent Black and Brown individuals, many of whom are children, are victims to gun violence.”

By framing the explosion in crime that predictably followed their war on police as “gun violence,” Democrats are setting the stage to use it as a pretext to further encroach on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens, rendering them still more vulnerable to chaos as it spirals out of control.

If black lives matter to you, the last thing you should do is support the leftist maniacs of Black Lives Matter. They have been costing black lives:

The number of black Americans murdered in 2020 jumped by 32 percent – with an expert blaming BLM protests for the huge spike by scaring-off cops.

Killings across racial demographic have swelled by 30 percent between 2019 and 2020, the largest increase since 1905, but blacks have borne the larger impact of that deadly trend, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime report.

Encouraging black thugs to kill by pressuring police to let black neighborhoods fend for themselves has predictably resulted in blacks killing more people. But they aren’t killing the people the liberal establishment seems to want killed.

Murder overwhelmingly takes place within racial groups. According to the cartoonish liberal narrative, it is white police who kill blacks. In the real world, it is other blacks.

Hannah Meyer, the director of policing and public safety at the conservative Manhattan Institute, who worked in the NYPD’s Intelligence Bureau for five years, believes that the bloody trend was spurred on by the Black Lives Matter protests that began after the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 and Freddy Grey in Baltimore, Maryland at the hands of police.

Then the exploitation of George Floyd’s fentanyl overdose splashed gasoline onto the flames.

Criminal justice reform has also exacerbated violence by releasing dangerous criminals onto the streets.

The blood is on the hands not only of Black Lives Matter, but of the liberal establishment for promoting its sociopathic agenda.

Having largely caused this crisis, liberals want to address it by disarming law-abiding citizens, leaving them defenseless in the face of emboldened criminals who will of course remain armed. The chin-pulling ignoramuses comprising the intelligentsia are no less pernicious and malevolent than the mobs of savages they egged on to loot and destroy while shouting, “Black lives matter!”

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.

Race hate grifter Patrisse Cullors, cofounder of Black Lives Matter, has been getting uncomfortable questions about what happened to the tens of $millions virtue-signaling fools gave to her organization while it was burning and pillaging American cities during what the complicit media called “mostly peaceful protests.” She has responded exactly as you would expect — by wielding the “I’m a victim” cudgel:

The embattled activist, who is facing renewed criticism following reports BLM Global Network Foundation, while under her control, purchased a $6 million Los Angeles mansion, said she gets triggered whenever she hears the term IRS Form 990, the document charities are required to file to the public every year disclosing their financial activities.

As noted previously, Cullors evidently spent some of the money on her own luxurious homes. After she stepped down, leaving no one in charge, most of the fortune that liberals had shoveled at Black Lives Matter vanished.

“This doesn’t seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure,” Cullors said. “This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with.”

A self-described Marxist who was instrumental in setting off many hundreds of declared riots feels unsafe because laws against fraud, embezzlement, and tax evasion may apply even to a sacred Person of Oppressedness. The heart bleeds.

Some black supremacists of the Black Lives Matter variety may actually believe their own lucrative line of B.S. How else to explain them wanting police to wear body cams?

According to our state religion, critical race theory, the body cams should catch cops being racists. Familiarity with the way things actually work suggests they are more likely to catch Criminals of Color playing the race card, and to expose hate hoaxes. Sure enough:

So now the liberal establishment media says body cams are racist. Who could have predicted it?

Hats off to Ukraine not only for standing up to the Russian invasion, but for showing us how to deal with an enemy within, namely looters:

Unfortunately, shaming would have no effect on mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter rioters, who have been conditioned by their teachers and the media to feel justified in their sociopathic behavior. In the absence of effective law enforcement, to control the next wave of looting would require resorting to traditional means.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

During the height of the Black Lives Matter riots, pro-BLM signs often indicated cowardice. They were shorthand for, “I grovel before you; on my knees, I beg you to burn down someone else’s business or home instead of ours.” The tsunami of violence having abated for the time being, the signs are more likely to signify idiocy. Abby Koenig of Louisville is a case in point:

Koenig and her family woke up to the note responding to the Black Lives Matter sign that sits in front of their house. …

Koenig said she’s stumped on why someone left the letter in her yard making fun of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Making fun of it? Not really:

“It seems to be coming from the Black Lives Matter movement folks who might write something like this, but as I said you read it and you’re like no, no, no that’s awful,” she said.

Part of the letter reads “Keep raising our flag, our freedom to speak through tactics of bullying and terror, will inflict misery for all those who beg to differ. We will continue to oppose monogamy, we will continue to use violence and hate to further our cause.”

Did the helpful note red pill Abby into realizing that she has been ostentatiously supporting unadulterated evil? It did not:

Koenig is a communications professor who teaches on diversity and inclusion.

Secure in the bastion of her preposterous ideology, she dismisses the note as “absurd and hurtful and hateful.”

Useful idiot liberals enabled the savage goons comprising Black Lives Matter to riot for months on end, destroying countless lives and $billions in property, without significant resistance or even bad press. They poured $90 million in donations upon this depraved movement in 2020 alone. No doubt Abby Koenig considers herself a good person for not wondering where all the money went, and for blocking her fellow Louisville resident Quintez Brown out of her mind.

On a tip from Peter B.

Aside from Planned Parenthood, there is no political entity in America as violent as Black Lives Matter, so BLM activist Quintez Brown attempting a political assassination should surprise no one, even if he is a noisy gun control advocate.

The target was Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. Via Fox News:

Quintez Brown, 21, was charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment after he entered Greenberg’s campaign headquarters in Butchertown and fired multiple shots using a 9mm Glock handgun, police said.

Moonbats not being adept with firearms, no one was hurt.

Greenberg is a Jewish Democrat. As for his accused assailant,

Brown previously worked for the Louisville Courier Journal as an intern and an editorial columnist, according to the newspaper. …

Brown was a prominent activist during the Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police unrest following the May 2020 death of George Floyd. …

Brown was honored by the Obama Foundation’s MBK Rising initiative and was one of only a handful of students in the country to attend the inaugural national gathering of the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.

“I better my community for the boys that look just like me by changing the narrative around violence, masculinity, and professionalism,” Brown said in a statement still featured on the foundation’s website.

Maybe he would help change the phony liberal establishment narrative around violence, except that the media has predictably responded to the shooting the same way it did to the bloodbath in Waukesha: by ignoring it.

Barks Brown:

“Defunding the police is our first step toward dismantling everything that was rooted in slavery. Because they’re the original slave catchers. When Black people try to liberate themselves and become free, you had the police to stop them and put them back in their place. So defunding the police to me means kind of like funding our revolution by defunding our oppression.”

As if to prove him correct, police arrested him.

No worries. Brown is now out on bail, the same status Darrell Brooks enjoyed when he achieved racial justice by driving an SUV through a Christmas parade. Black Lives Matter and the Louisville Community Bail Fund reportedly posted his bail.

Why would a moonbat shoot a Democrat? Brown’s ruminations on Medium might offer an indication:

The revolutionary consciousness of the masses must understand that the struggle against the negative forces of genocide and fascism will not end at the ballot box of the ruling class. Attempting to get within one of the two major parties has caused our leaders to become co-opted with their interests shunted to the background. They have become expendable.

Communist regimes killed about 100 million of their own citizens during the ideology’s heyday in the 20th century. BLM is almost as rooted in communism as it is in racism. How would you expect BLM activists to treat people who are expendable?

Hat tip: Legal Insurrection.

Considering that Jacob Chansley got 41 months for dressing up like a buffalo and trespassing in the People’s House, what do you suppose the sentence would be for trying to set fire to a school? The answer is probation — so long as it is done in the name of the liberal establishment’s ideology.

The New York Post reports:

A man convicted of attempting to set fire to a high school during the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd has been sentenced to five years probation.

The lucky recipient of the get out of jail free card is Mohamed Hussein Abdi, age 20.

Abdi was arrested in June 2020, a month after he entered the high school through a broken glass door during the Floyd riot and could be seen on security footage pouring liquid from a white container onto the floor and then into a trashcan. Abdi then took a liquid-soaked garment and sent fire to the trash can before running away as flames and smoke began to spread.

But he did it for a good cause: destroying the oppressive white man’s civilization.

More than 1,500 businesses in the Minneapolis St. Paul area were damaged or destroyed during the riots totaling roughly $500 million in damages.

Riots? I think they mean “mostly peaceful protests.”

Fortunately, those with right-of-center political views are not likely to set fire to schools. “Justice” for them would be less lenient.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Vicious hostility toward Caucasians, property rights, and the police is only the beginning of the malice from Black Lives Matter, the social justice group most beloved by the liberal establishment. During the 2020 epidemic of BLM riots, these radicals pulled from their website their policy of fundamentally transforming society by abolishing the family, because even at a time when the media cheered on looting and arson, this was deemed better kept on the down low. Now this agenda item is back in the open, as BLM activists work with the progressives running schools to indoctrinate children as young as kindergarten during the Week of Action:

The activist-driven curriculum for the Week of Action, which kicked off Monday, is based off the 13 “Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles.” Those principles include a commitment to restorative justice, being transgender affirming and queer affirming, creating space for black families that is “free from patriarchal practices,” and “the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other.”

Depraved variants of critical theory created by the gibbering lunatics who infest academia are stripped down to child-friendly versions suitable for inculcation.

The Week of Action also includes a list of four national demands: end zero-tolerance discipline policies; mandate black history and ethnic studies; hire more black teachers; and fund counselors, not cops, according to a “starter kit” on the Black Lives Matter at School website.

No doubt kids will be encouraged to agitate on behalf of these demands. Abolishing disciplinary policies is sure to appeal to youths with behavioral problems who prevent others from learning in a secure environment.

From the starter kit:

“Everyone gets to choose if they are a girl or a boy or both or neither or something else, and no one else gets to choose for them.”

Children might demand to be regarded as a cat — or a walrus.

It seemed that even little kids understand there are fundamental differences between boys and girls. Yet the social engineers driving the phenomenon of transsexual children have met with alarming success, derailing many young minds.

Other aspects of BLM ideology are no less harmful. The nuclear family is downgraded to the level of other living arrangements. After all, “there are lots of different kinds of families.”

This pernicious indoctrination will be inflicted throughout the country. In addition to local teachers unions in places like NYC, Chicago, and Seattle, Black Lives Matter at School is endorsed by the National Education Association.

On a tip from Varla.

Skeptics of defunding the police might ask, “What are you going to do when a gang of thugs breaks into your house? Call Black Lives Matter?” To which the moonbats running Seattle might respond, “Sure, why not?”

During the BLM/Antifa riots of 2020, the East Precinct was abandoned to the mob, which declared an “autonomous zone” without rule of law for weeks on end. This was allowed to happen because local Democrats sided with the criminals. Now we learn that they considered officially turning over the East Precinct to Black Lives Matter.

From the Seattle Times:

At the height of Seattle’s racial justice protests in 2020, then-Mayor Jenny Durkan’s administration drafted legislation to transfer the Police Department’s East Precinct building to a Black Lives Matter activist organization and researched relocating the station’s operations, newly released documents show. …

The draft resolution for transferring the property to Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County (BLMSKC) included a July 1 effective date, and Durkan’s office subsequently discussed the possibility with the nonprofit, which at one point pushed to remake the building as a hub for public health and community care.

As it turns out, July 1 was the day the police reclaimed the East Precinct, after abandoning it on June 8.

The building is worth $millions, but apparently BLM had not yet acquired its extravagant taste for acquiring property.

In a recent deposition, former Deputy Mayor Casey Sixkiller said the Durkan administration nixed the East Precinct transfer possibility after the activists decided they didn’t want the property.

Where was the federal government while mobs of thugs were taking over police stations? Keeping out, at the request of local Democrat authorities. As the BBC reported in June 2020:

State authorities in the north-western US state of Washington have hit back after President Donald Trump threatened to “take back” a police-free district controlled by protesters in Seattle.

Governor Jay Inslee said Mr Trump should stay out of the state’s business, and Seattle’s mayor said any invasion of the city would be illegal.

Democrat policy has predictably resulted in an explosion of violent crime. Democrats control the White House now. Biden’s press secretary sneers at us for believing that crime is a problem.

As it looted stores, burned neighborhoods, and destroyed statues of our national heroes, Black Lives Matter soaked up tens of $millions from woke corporations and liberal dupes. The fools who flung cash at self-described Marxists like high–living Patrisse Cullors never asked where the money was going, despite BLM being a shadowy organization that does not even have a known central location:

The nonprofit organization listed a nonexistent address on its 2019 IRS 990 form, and a visit to the similarly named address listed on a credit monitoring report (which has the same street number but a different spelling for the street and the wrong ZIP code) came up empty.

BLM’s lack of address came to light while the Washington Examiner was trying to obtain the organization’s tax returns for 2020. It was eventually told that Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation does “not maintain a permanent office.”

At least some of the money has been tracked down. Maybe BLM will open a main office in Toronto:

Canadian Black Lives Matter activists are furious over the group’s recent $8.1 million cash purchase of a mansion in downtown Toronto that once served as the headquarters of the Communist Party of Canada.

The U.S. charity that serves as the face of the BLM movement provided the bulk of the funding for the purchase of the 10,000-square-foot property in July.

Instead of answering the questions of volunteer activists, BLM Canada tried to get them to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

Meanwhile, board members decline to say who controls BLM’s $60 million bankroll:

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors appointed two activists [Makani Themba and Monifa Bandele] to serve as the group’s senior directors following her resignation in May amid scrutiny over her personal finances. But both quietly announced in September that they never took the jobs due to disagreements with BLM. They told the Washington Examiner they don’t know who now leads the nation’s most influential social justice organization. …

And neither would say who served on the council. …

The two remaining BLM board members, Shalomyah Bowers and Raymond Howard, did not return numerous requests for comment asking who has been in charge of BLM and its money since Cullors left the charity in May.

Bowers appears to be an experienced social justice grifter:

Bowers served as the treasurer for multiple activist organizations run by Cullors, including BLM PAC and a Los Angeles-based jail reform group that paid Cullors $20,000 a month and dropped nearly $26,000 for “meetings” at a luxury Malibu beach resort in 2019.

CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron describes Black Lives Matter:

“Like a giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction.”

Good thing BLM isn’t a Tea Party organization. The IRS would be up their colon with klieg lights. But investigating black supremacists would be racist. Besides, BLM and the Democratic Party are on the same side.

As for the many $millions in donations that have gone up in smoke, the donors got what they paid for: the smug sensation of self-righteousness that lifts liberals into a state of euphoria whenever they help to destroy their own country.

Let’s hope the money all goes to mansions and does not actively promote BLM’s agenda, the way George Soros’s money does when he buys district attorney positions for leftist maniacs who side with criminals against their victims (e.g., Alvin Bragg [Manhattan], George Gascon [Los Angeles], Kim Foxx [Chicago], Larry Krasner [Philadelphia], Chesa Boudin [San Francisco], Kim Gardner [St Louis], Marilyn Mosby [Baltimore]).
