Tyrannies form because we submit to tyrants: Links 1, July 13, 2020

1. I wonder how Joe Biden’s campaign is coming along

2. So basically, muslims took a baby’s body out of a cemetery because it was the wrong sort of muslim, and the other living muslims felt this baby muslim was not muslim enough to share the same soil as the other dead muslims. The parents must be devastated.

Police have not filed any case yet over the disinterring of the body of a new-born from the government graveyard in Brahmanbaria on Thursday allegedly by a group of people as the baby belonged to Ahmadyya community.

 

Saiful Islam, the father of the baby, said that her wife Swapna Begum gave birth to a premature baby at a local hospital in the Brahmanbaria town on July 7, but it died around 5:30am on July 9.

 

He said that Swapna’s family along with other Ahmadiyya families had been living for decades at Ghatura in Brahmanbaria Sadar and used the local government graveyard for burying their loved ones. The child was also buried at the graveyard around 7:00am.

 

Saiful alleged that, minutes after the burial, a crowd of 100-150 people, spreading anti-Ahmadiyya sentiment, disinterred the body of the child.

 

Saiful rushed to the graveyard only to find that the body of his baby lay on outside the graveyard by it boundary wall. The child, later, was buried at the graveyard at Kandirpar, Brahmanbaria, a place used only by Ahyamdiyyas for burying their dead.

3. Judge approves petition to recall Seattle mayor

(So this far at least, the system works)

SEATTLE — A King County Superior Court judge has approved a petition for an election to recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan.

 

The Seattle Times reports the ruling Friday on charges filed by a group of five people last month comes after weeks of local protests against racism and police brutality – sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

 

Once any recall petition is approved, signatures are needed to qualify for a special election ballot. The petitioners must, within 180 days, collect valid signatures from a number of voters equal to 25% of the votes cast in the last election. In this case, signatures from more than 50,000 Seattle voters would be needed.

4. Noteworthy moment in history

(This article on her activities is a worthy read at this time. The all female terrorist gang and attempted to thwart President Raegan’s re election by bombing Washington. Interesting that like the Che Guevara terrorist bombing group from Canada that planned to attack several major historical sites in the US while Che himself was being given the celebrity treatment by the UN and Hollywood stars in New York, probably none of us knew about either event. I wonder why that is?)

The bust marked the beginning of the end of the May 19th Communist Organization, the nation’s only woman-run terror group, William Rosenau recounts in “Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol” (Atria), out Tuesday.

 

M19’s two-year bombing campaign in New York City and Washington, DC, aimed to cast a cloud over what President Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign was promising: a sunny, prosperous “Morning in America.”

 

Reagan’s election in 1980 told the remnants of America’s radical left that the country had rejected their call to revolution.

(For more on Che, please read Exposing the Real Che Guevara.)

5. Tyrannies happen because we consent to them. Insight from FIVBE HUNDRED YEARS ago.

The book being discussed is available as a free PDF at this link.

6. 250 Year Old mission burned down.

(Surely someone who reads this site knows an actuarial that can tell us the changing cost of insuring Catholic places of worship. There are so many serious fires at Christian and especially Catholic buildings that we don’t even post them all anymore.)

7. Nigeria: Muslim leader says “O Kuffar, you have time to repent to Allah before Allah punishes you with our hands”

(There is an important point also in this article from Jihad Watch. A critical distinction between Christianity and Islam is that Islam believes that the followers of Islam are the instruments of Allah’s will. That it is there responsibility to bring on the end of days etc. Which explains all of the actions of the Islamic State, or ISIS.

Christians believe that Jesus will “Return like a thief in the night and no one shall know the hour of the coming”. The idea is that man’s actions have no impact on God’s will. This distinction is why Christianity when practiced according to scripture allows for civilization and cooperation while Islam is what we see it is for all of its history and everywhere it finds numbers.)

The Abubakar Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram, Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, has released a new video and confirmed its link with the armed groups in Niger State that also operate in the North-West.

 

According to HumAngle newspaper, the six minutes and five seconds video shows fully armed fighters speaking in Hausa, English and Kanuri.

 

“Special greetings from your jihadi brethren in the Lake Chad Basin. Greetings to our leader Abu Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Abubakar Asshakawy. FILE PHOTO

“My second message is for all of the Mujahideen, especially those close to us. We send you Islamic greetings.

 

“My other message is for all the unbelievers in the world. Repent, you still have time. And if you don’t, wait and see what will happen to you very soon,” he said.

Meanwhile, in Portland Oregon…

Thank you EB., M., PePi, PC., Ruth J., Mad W., and many more who are paying attention and will not submit.

Salty Cracker video on the murder of a mother by leftist BLM terrorists in Indianapolis (Language)

Personally I quite like this guy. And although I find his treatment of this event to be a bit flippant for the severity of this arguably milestone event, he makes critically important observations. I say it is a milestone event because they killed a woman, and a young mother at that, for saying all lives have value. That was enough to justify her murder by what at this point must be called terrorists.

His observations:

The media will not write about it. (And if they do, certainly not honestly.)

The police will be told to stand down

Communists will run rampant in the streets looting, threatening, beating and intimidating, and now killing people for failing to champion their narrative.

BLM mob murders young mother for saying all lives matter: Links 2, July 12, 2020

1. This is interesting at a few levels. First, that ANTIFA would try and disrupt and destroy an anti-pedophile gathering says much about communist goals. Its never the issue, its about destroying civilization. But also, while I have no idea how this worked out, we do see a pattern where people who fight back against illegal interference with a demo by ANTIFA are penalized since they are interfering with their right to protest. But when ANTIFA or leftist groups attack people who are nearby who just dont agree with them, then the police or authorities claim that they were “antagonizing” the leftists. We saw this super clearly with Ezra Levant at Toronto City Hall. They just stood there and got attacked and police and security essentially decided they were antagonizing the protestors so no charges against them when they attacked Levant’s crew.

2. Oklahoma authorities charge rioters with terrorism. (And rightly so.)

Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said on Friday that he chose to pursue the toughest charges against the rioters because he does not support the lawlessness that has taken place in some parts of the country, including the “police-free” region of Seattle known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protests, or CHOP.

 

“This is not Seattle,” he told the Oklahoman. “We’re not putting up with this lawlessness here.”

 

Prater leveled strict charges against many of those who were arrested during the protests. Isael Antonio Ortiz, 21, Eric Christopher Ruffin, 26, and Malachai Davis, 18, were hit with terrorism charges after police alleged that Ortiz burned an Oklahoma County sheriff’s van during protests on May 30.

 

Ruffin is accused of encouraging “wanton destruction” by streaming Ortiz on a Facebook Live post in which he was also heard saying officers who harm black people should be killed. Ortiz has also been accused of attempting to burn a bail bonds shop along with Davis, who is accused of breaking the bond shop’s windows with brass knuckles he was filmed wearing.

 

3. One country in California fought the mask mandate and WON!

5. DEADLY DISCUSSION Young mom, 24, shot dead ‘after telling Black Lives Matter protesters “all lives matter” during argument about movement’

A YOUNG mom was shot dead in Indianapolis in front of her fiancé after an argument about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jessica Doty Whitaker was walking with her partner Jose Ramirez and two friends at 3am on July 5 when they came across four men and a woman and an argument broke out.

The groups clashed over language and the Black Lives Matter movement, WTHR reported.

“I’ll never probably ever get that image out of my head of what happened,” Ramirez told the local news station.

According to Ramirez, the groups got into a racially charged argument, and one man pulled out a gun, and so Ramirez did too.

One article, published in far right news organization The Daily Wire, reported that Doty Whitaker had said “all lives matter” to the group, who allegedly were supporters of the BLM movement.

Amazing speech by US politician who had to escape communism TWICE: Links 1, July 12, 2020

1. President Trump told, “Socialism is communism doing Halloween”

Link to identity of speaker, who I mistakenly thought was a politician. 

2. Robert Fuller ‘lynching’ rumors dismissed as probe finds hanging victim heard voices & was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts

The death of Robert Fuller, declared a lynching by Black Lives Matter activists after he was found hanging from a tree outside Los Angeles, was confirmed as a suicide – but many are hesitant to trust the probe’s result.

Fuller, a 24-year-old black man discovered hanging from a tree near City Hall in the Los Angeles suburb of Palmdale, heard voices telling him to kill himself and was repeatedly hospitalized for suicidal ideation before his death, according to the LA County Sheriff’s Department, which revealed the results of its investigation at a press conference on Thursday.

 

While Fuller’s death had been ruled a suicide weeks ago after his body was found hanging in a park, with authorities finding no signs of a crime at the scene, his outraged family had demanded a more thorough probe, hiring an independent medical examiner to conduct their own autopsy.

(In true communist/BLM/ANTIFA fashion, they pick the worst cases to agitate for as it foments increasing distrust in the system. Not that the system is that trustworthy as we see in the next item, but that tends to be where the system took a left turn)

3. Is there ANYTHING we have been told about Wuhan Flu that is true?

4. First she plays the victim, then seamlessly moves to the monster. Leftists are about tactics not truth. Truth is anathema.

5. How dishonest is the US media? As dishonest as they can be by plotting dishonesty in boardrooms with multiple high IQ people thinking about how to weaponize information so that they can maximize the effect of that dishonesty. For example, this:

A president they don’t like wears an American Eagle logo and suddenly its proof of Nazi allegiance, even though the US had it first, the US defeated the Nazis under this sign (In hoc signo vince?) and every other president has been seen wearing, in, at or near this symbol. But for Trump…

Turkey takes it past the brink, racism is not about race, and the Covid regs are not about disease: Links 1 for July 11, 2020

1. First Islamic call to prayer from the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople since 1934

2. I don’t think this clip is that recent but the issue is 100% contemporary.

What is critical to understand is that certain terms, “racist”, “Nazi”, “Fascist” and so on only mean one thing. ‘Not with or seen to be with the communist revolution underway’. That is all it means or has meant for a while. It explains what seems to be hypocricy. Why black people who are extremely reasonable and have achieved a great deal are called racists and fascists by the left. In fact they are hated more than white males, because one Clarence Thomas or Candice Owens is a much bigger threat to the communist revolution than is a few white males unaware of what is actually going on.

Seeing things at face value means being controlled opposition. If something doesn’t make sense, look for a higher level and simpler metric till it does. This is one example. That these terms listed are merely rhetorical weapons to eliminate anyone who is an obstacle to the complete and total totalitarian Leninst-Maoist state they seek to establish.

Another example of a higher dimensional simpler metric for leftist actions:

There is only one rule. All revolutionary actions and speech is protected. Any counter-revolutionary actions or speech is to be criminalized as hate or off-book punished by thuggery and intimidation.

3. More than 150 academics and journalists denounce JK Rowling and Noam Chomsky’s letter pleading for free speech because they are ‘white, wealthy and endowed with massive platforms’

A group of academics and professionals from the world of journalism are speaking out to denounce a letter that was published earlier this week in Harper’s Magazine in which its signatories spoke out to decry as they saw as a slow stifling of free speech.

 

Dozens of artists, writers and academics signed the open letter decrying the weakening of public debate and warning that the free exchange of information and ideas was in jeopardy amid a rise in what they call ‘illiberalism.’

J.K. Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood were among dozens of writers, artists and academics to argue against ideological conformity.

(This is not contradictory either. Please see text above and below item 2. You could use reason to easily show why the response is illogical to this letter, and Chomsky has a long history of sort of defending freedom of speech but never mentioning speech codes or other leftist limits on Conservative speech at campus with which he had to be familiar. So on the surface, this looks like the left eating the left. But it is more likely the dialectic engine clicking ever farther to the left to achieve the goal of a Leninist-Maoist state and anyone who is any kind of obstacle will be moved out of the way. Icons who pushed for the left like Chomsky or Rowling are major threats to the left.)

4. Turkey: Muslim breaks into venerable Armenian Orthodox cathedral, recites Islamic call to prayer

Legend has it that when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in the year 637, Sophronius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, invited the caliph Umar to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Umar declined, explaining that if he did, the Muslims would convert the church into a mosque, as Muslim prayers had been uttered there. It is likely that this man now considers the Armenian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Cross to be a mosque, since he uttered the Adhan within it.

(The above is Robert Spencer’s analysis. Click through to get to the news item)

5. Enjoyable.

6. Climate Larpers in London try and do a wave with their coats. Kinda funny.

7. On Stephen Pinker, Noam Chomsky and the state of the dialectic push leftwards against any obstacle to the revolution. (Not how it is framed in the video. Its controlled opposition in the video)

8. What’s with Fauci?

9. Nothing to add.

10. Dr. Zev Zelenko is a warrior for truth and a courier of hope.

Commies, Muslims and Karens: Links 2, July 10, 2020

1. President Trump clearly has a solid idea of what is going on.

2. Islamist Acquitted for Sword Attack Outside Buckingham Palace Jailed for Terror Plot on Gay Pride Festival

A jihadist who was acquitted in 2018 of terrorism after attacking a police officer with a sword outside of Buckingham Palace while yelling “Allah hu Akbar” has been jailed for a terror plot to attack London’s gay pride festival.

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 28, from Luton, was found guilty in February on plotting deadly terror attacks on London landmarks including Madam Tussauds, an iconic open-top double-decker sightseeing bus, and the gay pride festival.

 

The former Uber driver was sentenced on Thursday to ‘life’ imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years in jail, according to The Guardian.

 

The court had heard that Chowdhury had practised beheading techniques, as well as stabbing methods, and attended a firing range with the intention of obtaining a firearm in preparation for the multi-location terror attack.

3. Ottawa police apologize after 911 call where white woman reports Black man in a park

It is the title of this article that is the crime. This has nothing to do with colour or race. This has to do with a self appointed petty tyrant mask-cop who decided to revel in the power the state has given all the people of low character to bully anyone who isn’t conforming to whatever the arbitrary rules of the moment are. This phenomenon is now wide spread with bullies everywhere suddenly feeling puffed up with renewed fake authority to harass anyone they see who is not in perfect conformity. You can tell it is not about the issue because the people in the following two examples walk right on by, or get close to their bullying victims in order to intimidate them better. Check out the video from the story in the headline above:

The linked article more or less explains what happens but the video tells it all. Now look at the poor schmo in the video in the James Woods Tweet. This is criminal harassment by these women.

4. Interesting video about Iranian ambitions. The people, not the regime

5. Dr. Kelly Victory on the facts around Covid 19

6. Is ANYTHING we are told by the MSM true?

7. So Obama…

8. There is so much we can learn about the nature of the deep state and media by the way in which Roger Stone was arrested.

9. McCloskeys served with search warrant, police take rifle shown in viral pictures

Sources tell 5 On Your Side police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos.

 

ST. LOUIS — 5 On Your Side has learned St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted protesters with weapons in June.

Sources tell 5 On Your Side police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos. 

5 On Your Side is not aware of any charges against the McCloskeys at this time, and the warrant served Friday evening was just for the guns.

 

Late Friday evening 5 On Your Side confirmed attorney Al Watkins was no longer representing the McCloskeys, and that attorney Joel Schwartz had taken over. Schwartz confirmed a search warrant was issued at 8 p.m. Friday night, but would not say what was taken from the home. Schwartz also said he does not know where the handgun is.

Thank you PC., M., Wrath of Khan, ML., PePi, Rich and Richard, and a lot of wonderful people who still care and remain brave if not unafraid.

When it is this obviously a communist revolution… Links 2, July 10, 2020

1. Twitter increases the degree of dishonest censorship against counter-revolutionaries, and some of them are getting quite upset.

(Patrick Moore is an amazing feed to follow. But you probably have to go into his timeline to see them as they don’t make it into feeds much anymore)

2. Erdogan signs decree turning Hagia Sophia into a mosque

(It’s on)

Russia and Greece, as well as the US, France, and others, have stated their opposition to Hagia Sophia becoming a mosque. That Erdogan would move ahead with this anyway shows that he is not worried about antagonizing either friend (Russia and ostensibly the US) or foe (Greece). He appears to be much more concerned to position himself as the defender and protector of Islam, which is in line with his frequently-noted aspiration to restore the Ottoman caliphate. Hagia Sophia as a mosque was a key symbol of the triumph and supremacy of the caliphate. Erdogan clearly wants it to be again.

 

Many years ago, when I first began sounding the alarm about Islamic jihad, many analysts at all points on the political spectrum waved me away by pointing to secular Turkey as the future of the Islamic world. No one does that anymore.

3. Supreme Court actually dealt blow to George Soros’ ambitions

4. Tucker Carlson on Seattle’s new anti-white people policies criminalizing being white.

(Claiming that the criminal aspect of “Whiteness” is the fealty to “individualism” is the tell. This is a communist revolution. Fight back or lose EVERYTHING.)

5. More good news. For a change:

Thank you Ruth J., M., and all who sent in materials. Things are moving quickly today. Sorry for any sloppiness as a result.

Tucker clip on Youtube

 

When you see things in Revolutionary Vs. Counter-revolutionary terms it all makes a great deal more sense. Links 1, for July 10, 2020

1. Brilliant short clip on the slippery slope of tyranny

2. Canadian Journalist, Margaret Wente a recent victim of what is called Cancel culture but in reality needs to be called what it really is. Destroyed for insufficient obsequiousness to the communist narrative, or worse, daring to challenge any component of it. She was excommunicated for being a thought criminal.

“I thought Massey had just resolved to educate its members about racism and microaggression and do better to create a safe and welcoming environment for marginalised people,” one complainant wrote. “And then we invited Margaret Wente to join us? Seriously? How are my friends and colleagues supposed to feel safe sitting across from her at dinner?”

 

Dozens of scholars threatened to resign from the college if my appointment were allowed to stand. A few did so pre-emptively, in fact. They included Alissa Trotz, director of the University of Toronto’s Women & Gender Studies Institute. “Margaret Wente is someone who has demonstrated consistent and outright hostility to questions of equity, women and gender studies and anti-racism,” she wrote in her letter of resignation. Trotz claimed that she hadn’t been aware of my nomination—an odd claim given that she’d been a member of Massey’s governing council and sat on the governance and nominating committee.

(The language of course is what we have come to understand as the impenetrable hypocritical nonsense from which there is no escape. A tar baby where the facts of the issue mean nothing.)

3. Speaking of the dialectic 4D push to the left…

4. Aside from the main point of the following tweet is the bigger issue of exactly how tied is the media with the deep state? The Roger Stone arrest was so staged, such blatant political theatre there should have been a revolution of sorts based on what we should have learned from that one event.

That when the deep-state wants us to see and think something they make damn sure we do by making sure all cameras are in place when needed. But when they don’t want us to notice what is going on, well notice that none of the Canadian media covered Trudeau’s black-face nonsense until a US paper, the Buffalo Chronicle, forced their hand. And then it was just to provide cover for him. Again, not that the black face thing should have been a crime or anything. It was not. But that we know how the left would have handled it had it been a ‘counter-revolutionary’ or ‘Conservative’ person who did it.

The various ethical violations and financial crimes of Trudeau are perhaps better examples although less visible. Which actually make them better examples.

One might test this theory by how the CBC will manage this crisis. If they follow practice, they will initially try and establish credibility by reporting on it to the degree necessary offering a little false hope that they have become journalists instead of propagandists, and then offer cover for him to minimize the nature of the crime, or even somehow turn it around so the rest of Canada is guilty and Trudeau is our great teacher like they did with the Al Jolson scandal.

5. Why is the siege on Portland getting so little media?

6. Police chief launches investigation into traffic message reading ‘All Lives Matter’ in Melrose

(Once again, the real crime is posting a counter-revolutionary message. That will not be tolerated, while real crimes or much more harsh revolutionary messages will be celebrated and rewarded)

The Melrose police chief has launched an investigation after one of his officers typed a message on a traffic sign that read, in part, “All Lives Matter.”

Mayor Paul Brodeur shared a photo of the traffic sign, which has since been changed, to his Facebook page on Wednesday. In that photo, the sign reads “The safety of all lives matter.”
