Fifth Column
Who's Really To Blame For the Riots In American Cities? Pt. 2 With Michael Yon
2020-10-29
[PJMedia] Leaders in American cities have spent most of 2020 deflecting blame for the violent mostly peaceful riots that have dominated them. Much of the finger-pointing has focused on Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, and other right wing groups. These groups have formed over the past half decade as a response to the chaos caused in Portland, along with many other large American cities, by radical leftist groups like Black Lives Matter protests, riots led by antifa and By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), and other turban marxist groups utilizing black bloc tactics to disrupt American free society.

But what are these right wing groups? Are they fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
s, white supremacists, and defenders of the systems of racism endemic to America’s core, as alleged by the Left? Are they the dreaded militias hell bent on domestic terrorism? How do they compare to antifa, BLM, or BAMN?

#6  "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

Mr Yon is correct. And I have been calling this out for some time: a democracy cannot exist for long without an informed voting populace. The current press is not only MIS_informing, they are MAL-informing, in an effort to produce outcomes which they favor. This is corroding the very society upon which the Republic depends.

The deliberate and self-induced failure of the "Fourth Estate" will doom our Republic. Its them I will blame, and them I will mockingly applaud when the editors who made these decisions are (figuratively) hanging from the lampposts by their own entrails. The only regret will be that the socialists in academia who pushed all this will not be there kicking at the end of a rope next to them (or dancing to the impact of bullets on the wall below).

Revolution is such an ugly thing, and I only hope that all those who have sought to bring it about suffer the full brunt of it.

#3  Our Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column movement. At this point, they are worthless to the American people.

#2  The establishment's collusion is the critical element.

Rittenhouse is being persecuted by the legal system because he participated in a group effort to prevent a massive antifa arson attack.

Prior acts of antifa looting and arson were passively observed by the police and the legal system.

Once people dared interfere with the arsonists the legal system sprang into action.

Anarcho-Tyranny.

#1  One big reason Yon cites for the breakdown of the rule of law is the complete lack of honest reporting.

Didn't see that one coming, didja.
