I don't think it's that they are trying to side with criminals; I think it's more that they want people to feel angry, despondent, and helpless.

Now why would they want that? Simple: because when answers are demanded, the politicians will tell us that their hands are tied, because "the system" itself is racist. It's white supremacy, you see. It's white supremacy that's killing innocent black people, so we had to take extreme steps to protect them. But it's also white supremacy that's forcing black kids like Adam Toledo to turn to gangs because of the lack of social equity. Don't blame us, the government will say, blame white supremacy.

And people will. More and more of them over time. (1) And eventually it will rise to a fever pitch. And the government will say, okay, we hear you; but in order for us to do anything, we have to be allowed to crack down on white supremacy. Will you let us do this? And the crowd will scream, YES!

Of course, people who've been paying attention realize that "white supremacy" is simply a redefined phrase that now means, "American culture." Individualism, objectivity, hard work, awards based on merit, supporting the family unit...these are all "white culture" now. (2) Funny, ten years ago, most folks would've called this American culture; that is, something you could expect all Americans to embrace in every corner of the country. But not anymore. Now it's "white culture," and someone who believes in this is a "white supremacist." Boo! Hiss!

You ask yourself, why are the cities doing this? Why has Portland, and Seattle, and Minneapolis, and Chicago, and New York, and many more seemingly invited the inmates to run the asylum? Why have churches and religious communities been almost pathologically shut down but the loonies and the violent allowed to run the streets with impunity? Why on earth would any city allow itself to devolve into utter chaos, driving away businesses and decent people?

Because they want you to get ANGRY ENOUGH to agree to let them do what they've wanted to do all along. And that's fundamentally change the way everything works. That's all this is about: getting your consent to agree to let them remake the world in their image.

Comparisons to Nazi German are overused and trite, but effective, since most people recognize what happened there. When everything started, Weimar Germany was a sincere mess. But the Nazis came in and promised they would fix things. They would stop the corruption. They would create jobs. They would EARN your trust. And so they did. And when people got ANGRY ENOUGH and demanded of them to take control...they did.

Be very, very careful of any government entity that claims it can fix things for you, if only you put your blind faith in their hands. You, me, all of us...we're being set up for the day that the population has had enough and demands someone take control and "fix things."

And yes, the Germans did later ask how such a thing could happen to them, too. And thanks to their mistakes, we can see what's coming and maybe do something about it.

(1) It's no accident that educators are INSISTING that we now start teaching children as early as kindergarten how to think in terms of race.

(2) See attached photos. This is a pamphlet handed out at the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture - or at least it was until people started noticing. Note all of the things on this pamphlet that are decried as "white culture" or "whiteness." THIS, is your modern-day "white supremacy" folks. This is what they denounce and want YOU to agree to do away with. Why? Because it's in their way. Because as long as people think American culture - ooops, excuse me, "white culture" - is a good thing, that keeps them from "tearing society down and rebuilding with equity."

In this case stolen guns out of the trunks of cars.
