-Lurid Crime Tales-
Clean Up the Drug Crazed Communist Street Rabble
[America's Survival] Such notables as Drew Brees and General Mad Dog Mattis sold out to the mob this week. Meanwhile, a 16-year-old girl, Ala’junaye Davis, was killed in Baltimore, shot in the throat in a Democrat-run city whose previous mayor pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges in the "Healthy Holly" book fraud scandal. The local paper reports that Baltimore homicides total 135 so far this year, outpacing the 128 recorded at this time last year.

The mob, however, is concerned about the death of George Floyd, a criminal whose carefully hidden autopsy showed traces of meth, fentanyl, marijuana, and heroin. It is not clear what role these drugs played in his death.

With the economy back on track, after re-opening many states, it’s the communist rabble on the streets that poses the most direct threat to the safety and security of the American people. So far, President Trump has depended on the governors to deploy the National Guard.

Tucker Carlson observed on Thursday night that the riots are all about getting rid of Trump. He means that the Democrats running the major cities are allowing the violence to spread so that they can create more chaos that they can blame on Trump.

This strategy helps explain why the dozens of black deaths taking place in our major cities, as a result of black-on-black violence, are of no interest to the those who back or excuse the riots and looters.

Crime victim advocate Tina Trent comments, in a blog post about Atlanta, another Democrat-run city, that black-on-black violence accounts for nearly all killings of black youth.

Dem AG: Letting America Burn Is the Path to Growth
[Free Beacon] Massachusetts attorney general Maura Healey (D.) on Tuesday refused to denounce the violent riots occurring nationwide, likening them to the purifying effects of a forest fire.

"Yes, America is burning, but that's how forests grow," Healey said in a speech delivered to the Boston Chamber of Commerce.

Healey, who is also the co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, repeated her remarks in a tweet later the same day, adding that Americans need to "seize the opportunity" to rid the country of "institutionalized racism," which she blamed for the violence.

#11  From 2014

It is certainly one of the grandest quarters ever for a candidate for attorney general: a $1.4 million Charlestown townhouse.

For four months, as Maura Healey and her small staff worked to launch her candidacy, she used the home where she lives as a working office for some of her political operations.

Healey does not own the property, but because she lives there, her campaign was not required to pay rent, saving some hefty bills in its early low-budget efforts to jump-start her candidacy for the Democratic nomination.


When you don't own property, I guess you'll have a different perspective on it being torched.

Devouring Its Own: How Many On The Left Fostered The Violent Movement Now Rioting Across The Country
[JonathanTurley] Below is my column in The Hill newspaper on the role of familiar groups like Antifa in the violence following the death of George Floyd. Attorney General Bill Barr acknowledged yesterday that there is a "witches' brew" of groups fostering violations, including an anarchist group from the right. The anarchists on the left or right are opportunists who will strike at any time of unrest to seek the breakdown of order. However, police are reporting a high number of Antifa and anarchist members arrested in various states. (here and here and here) These are groups that are all too familiar to some of us on college and university campus. While I have opposed efforts to declare Antifa a terrorist organization, the role of all of these groups in the recent violence should be a cautionary tale for academics and politicians alike in the tolerance shown for such anti-free speech movements. Many leaders and academics have denounced such groups on the right (some of which are also active in these riots), but notably have been more muted in condemning anti-fascist and left-anarchist groups.

Here is the column:

Ian Fleming famously lamented that history often moves so quickly that "heroes and villains keep on changing parts." Our media and politicians are now struggling with the same problem today, following the killing of George Floyd. As rioting and looting continue across the country, the question is who to blame for the mayhem. Ultimately, the response was strikingly familiar and telling. Maybe white supremacists were behind it. Maybe the Russians were. It could be anyone except people in the rioting communities or, worse yet, groups lionized or tolerated by the left.

Memo to Turley and Bagpipe Bill: Name these "right wing groups" and show your evidence or GTFO with that shit.

If this doesn't tell you how the game will be rigged (and whose side Barr is on), nothing will.

#9  Clem:

THat's because the Nazi Party and the Communist takeover of Russia were basically initiated by the same people: The Imperial German military from WW2.

They used to teach a lot of the history of this period in school, and other things, like that Kaiser Wilhelm was a raging semite, that the Germans more or less installed the communist government in Russia, that the various Czarist secret police were involved in the funding of the 'black bloc' groups pre-WW1...

#11  #5 This could have been avoided when the Wall fell and all those who had back the losing side were hauled out to pay for their treason. Turn the other cheek got you here.

Key point.

There were never any treason trials in the West and there was never an equivalent of the Nuremburg trials (Imperfect success that they were. Many Nazis escaped or faded into the woodwork) for the Communists.

This is what you get when you tell the shrunken cancer "Let's let bygones be bygones".

Head of the Snake
[GatewayPundit via Lucianne] Mr. President, you’ve taken step one: Declaring Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. That was a brilliant move. Now it’s time for step number two: Cut the head off the snake. We’ve got to move to aggressively cut off the funding of domestic terrorism.

Those who provide funding are terrorists themselves. Who is providing the funding? There are many suspects. Suspect number one is globalist billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. It starts there.

#1  This is a nationally organized riot. Today in the downtown area of a major city a large group of people were blocking traffic.

There were a number of people running around coordinating the riot, and they all wore red shirts.

If you look at images and videos of riots around the country you will see individuals wearing red shirts. Those are the riot coordinators on the ground.

-War on Police-
Washington Post: Let’s Cancel All The Cop Shows On TV
[HOTAIR] Writing at the Washington Post, author Alyssa Rosenberg has a unique solution for the problems with our policing: Cancel all the cop shows on television. She argues we need to do that because there’s a "reactionary streak" behind the "surface liberalism" in these shows.

For a century, Hollywood has been collaborating with police departments, telling stories that whitewash police shootings and valorizing an action-hero style of policing over the harder, less dramatic work of building relationships with the communities cops are meant to serve and protect. There’s a reason for that beyond a reactionary streak hiding below the industry’s surface liberalism. Purely from a dramatic perspective, crime makes a story seem consequential, investigating crime generates action, and solving crime provides for a morally and emotionally satisfying conclusion.

The result is an addiction to stories that portray police departments as more effective than they actually are; crime as more prevalent than it actually is; and police use of force as consistently justified. There are always gaps between reality and fiction, but given what policing in America has too often become, Hollywood’s version of it looks less like fantasy and more like complicity...


Say writers made a commitment not to exaggerate the performance of police. Audiences would have to be retrained to watch, for example, a version of "Special Victims Unit" where the characters cleared only 33.4 percent of rape cases, or to accept that in almost 40 percent of murders and manslaughters, no suspect is arrested. If storytelling focused on less-dramatic but more-common crimes such as burglary and motor-vehicle theft, the stakes would shrink — along with the case-clearance rate.

#3  How about a SCOTUS interpretation that corporations are not covered by the 'free press' protection of the First Amendment? They seem OK with states banning semi-auto weapons.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 06/06/2020 7:37 Comments || Top||

#4  Nearly all of these shows follow the same format. Hero cop breaks the rules to bring in the bad guy, and all is forgiven. Not sure that's the right message to be sending.

#8  After watching a few episodes of Cops on TV I noticed that a lot of times when cops stop black guys, the black guys freak out, run and resist arrest. Like, if they have a little marijuana in their pocket, they try to run away or just otherwise get all hinked up when they could have walked away freely if they had just remained cool. White guys tend to be passive around police, submit to frisking and being handcuffed. But I always thought it was the black guys who taught us white guys to be cool so it's kinda confusing. Maybe it's easier to be cool when there is no pressure.

Engineering The Perfect Human? Biotech Examines Rare DNA In Himalayan People
[Zero] Variant Bio has spent the last several years scouring the world for genetic outliers in human beings. It found a small group of "outlier humans" with special variations in their DNA that could affect disease risk and eventually be used to develop medicines to improve human life.

Founded in New York, the 10-person startup's lead geneticist Stephane Castel is focusing on the DNA of Sherpa people living at high altitudes in Nepal and Himalayas. Their unique genetic characteristics allow them to live healthy lives with blood oxygen levels far below what most humans need. Most people in high altitudes suffer from hypoxia, which is the absence of enough oxygen in the tissues to sustain bodily functions.
"They [Sherpa people] don't suffer any ill health effects," Castel told Bloomberg."It's incredible.
"
Castel's team is betting on the sequencing of Sherpa DNA, which could lead to discoveries of new superior traits that would aid in the development of novel medicines and therapies to improve metabolism, eyesight, and immune response.

It's up to Variant's software and scientific analysis to find breakthrough genetic coding in Sherpa DNA, Castel said it could take several years to develop drugs and therapies based on the results.

Celebrities Show Solidarity With Protesters By Burning Their Own Homes To The Ground
Not likely they would do more than virtue signal. Too easy, Bee
[Babylon Bee] According to sources, Hollywood celebrities have courageously united under an inspiring new movement to show respect for black lives. Entitled the #BurnYourHouseDown movement, celebrities such as Alyssa Milano, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Legend have volunteered to relinquish their power and privilege by burning their houses and everything they have to the ground.

The organizer of this movement released the following statement on Twitter: "Your homes, your riches, and your toys are built on a foundation of white supremacy. They are forever tainted by racism. Your walls and security systems have shut out the voices of the oppressed. Join us. Stand with us. #BurnYourHouseDown!"

As the provocative hashtag began trending on Twitter, rich celebrities lept into action. Alyssa Milano employed her house servants to light torches and throw them through her broken windows. Jimmy Kimmel hired Instagram models to jump on trampolines while throwing Molotov cocktails into his front door.

Black Lives Matter protestors gathered to watch the flames as they engulfed the multimillion-dollar homes. With tears in their eyes, they joined hands with celebrities and sang John Lennon's 'Imagine' as the massive monuments to white supremacy toppled to the ground.

Local news stations reported that twelve local housekeeping and landscaping businesses have been put out of work due to the #BurnYourHouseDown movement, but it's a small price to pay for the "change we need."

The twelve small business owners then moved to Texas and built mansions of their own.
