They'd kill 25 million if it would insure Trump would be gone, and if they could figure out how to do it.

I think Ivy League Communist professors, years ago, said they wanted to do that.

Her’s a video I saw from a woman explaining what happened in Yugoslavia in the 90’s and what to expect here. It’s about 15 minutes long. At the end she explains what has to happen to stop it here. She says that if the US falls to the commies, there will be no hope for the world.

The Vermont Senator is no longer in the race to the White House, but his movement continues to provide the only vision for fixing our broken economy.

From social movements like Black Lives Matter, to climate organisations such as Sunrise and electoral machines like Justice Democrats, Sanders’ vision is predicated on a deep grassroots coalition...

“HELP THEMSELVES with education, job training and following a Judeo-Christian ethos.”

Don’t you know that sentence smacks of white privilege and blatant racism?

“So basically BLM is going to try to get a court to let Chicago secede from the United States.”

There won’t be anyone who will volunteer to serve in an army to bring them back in.

“Funded by over a billion dollars in corporate money...This is the American ruling elite trying to put down the revolt by American populists.”

So true. And so similar to what happened in Germany in the 1930’s. The German elite and big business formed an alliance with the Nazi Party, relying on the Nazi muscle and emotional power to put down the groups they didn’t like. Thought they could control the Nazis because they were funding them.

Pulley was part of a 2014 delegation called We Charge Genocide where Marxist youth accused the Chicago police of genocide to United Nations’ Committee Against Torture. Here's part of her list of "demands" for the Obama administration from 2016: Black Struggle Is Not a Sound Bite: Why I Refused to Meet With President Obama

---

The Cook County criminal legal system, federal and all county court and prison systems are corrupt and racist. In order to make substantive change, Black Lives Matter Chicago demands an end to cash bail. We demand an end to grand juries. We demand an investigation of the Cook County state’s attorney’s office for extensive cover-ups of police crimes. We demand an end to all mandatory minimum sentencing. We demand the defunding and ultimate closing of the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center and Cook County Jail and all juvenile detention centers. We demand community control of all police departments with the creation of an elected Civilian Police Accountability Council with the power to hire and fire police officers and superintendents, by civilian representatives voted in by each neighborhood, with mandated inclusion of survivors of police violence and torture. We want a redirection of funds saved to support free health care for all; we want housing for abandoned youth, the homeless and nearly homeless; we want a federal jobs program for the unemployed and underemployed; we want a living wage for all workers; we want fully funded schools and fully funded crisis centers nationwide.

We demand the immediate closing of Guantánamo Bay and the return of the confiscated land to the people of Cuba. We demand the return of all troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We demand an immediate end to all money going to Israel while the occupation of Palestine continues. We demand an immediate withdrawal of all US troops in Africa under US Africa Command. We demand an end to the ongoing police violence against Indigenous people and that this colonized United States be returned to Native peoples. We demand the immediate halting of the deportation raids of undocumented people. We demand full reparations for all descendants of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Finally, we assert that true revolutionary and systemic change will ultimately only be brought forth by ordinary working people, students and youth – organizing, marching and taking power from the corrupt elites. No proponent of this system – Democrat or Republican – will upend the oppressive structures that maintain it. To hold the powerful accountable for their harmful and oppressive actions, we must continue to build power in the streets. We must act in concert and in coalition within our communities, because together, we have the power to uproot all oppression and systemic violence.

The Far left Chicago Sun Times will be glad to house BLM in their news room. The Sun Times in so anti-police, anti-American, they probably have all of their stories approved by BLM before they go to press.

I can't wait for Fecescago to start burning...

Mayor Groot will keep making concessions to her mob until all the police take early disability retirement, and the place is a pile of ashes.

We Charge Genocide

We Charge Genocide: The Crime of Government Against the Negro People is a paper accusing the United States government of genocide based on the UN Genocide Convention. This paper was written by the Civil Rights Congress (CRC) and presented to the United Nations at meetings in Paris in December 1951. . .The document received international media attention and became caught up in Cold War politics, as the CRC was supported by the American Communist Party. Its many examples of shocking conditions for African Americans shaped beliefs about the United States in countries across the world. The United States government and press accused the CRC of exaggerating racial inequality in order to advance the cause of Communism. The U.S. State Department forced CRC secretary William L. Patterson to surrender his passport after he presented the petition to a UN meeting in Paris. . .

The Civil Rights Congress (CRC), the successor to the International Labor Defense group and affiliated with the communist party, had begun to gain momentum domestically by defending Blacks sentenced to execution, such as Rosa Lee Ingram and the Trenton Six. The National Negro Congress joined forces with the CRC in 1947. . .On 17 December 1951, the petition was presented to the United Nations by two separate venues: Paul Robeson, concert singer and activist, together with people who signed the petition, handed the document to a UN official in New York City, while William L. Patterson, executive director of the Civil Rights Congress, delivered copies of the petition to a UN delegation in Paris.[11] W. E. B. Du Bois, also slated to deliver the petition in Paris, had been classified by the US State Department as an "unregistered foreign agent" and was deterred from traveling.[12] Du Bois had previously had an expensive legal battle against the Justice Department.[13]. . .The document has been credited with popularizing the term "genocide" among Black people for their treatment in the US.[30] After renewed interest generated by Malcolm X and the Black Panther Party, We Charge Genocide was republished in 1970 by International Publishers.[31] Allegations of genocide were renewed in relation to the disproportionate effects of crack cocaine and HIV/AIDS in the black communities in the United States.[32] The National Black United Front petitioned the United Nations in 1996–1997, directly citing We Charge Genocide and using the same slogan. . .During the United Nations Convention against Torture Committee Review of the U.S. in November 2014, a group of eight young activists from Chicago, Illinois, (Breanna Champion, Page May, Monica Trinidad, Ethan Viets-VanLear, Asha Rosa, Ric Wilson, Todd St. Hill, and Malcolm London) submitted a shadow report using the name, We Charge Genocide. Their report addressed police brutality toward blacks in Chicago, the lack of police accountability, and the misuse of tasers by the Chicago Police Department. . .

“They are trying to suppress our righteous anger”

That’s their job. There is no Constitutional right for you to express your anger, righteous or otherwise.

The ruling in Portland on Friday about this same line of attack was by a ClownBammy "judge" who volunteered for the ACLU before he became a Federal judge.

His ruling, surprisingly, was in favor of the injunction that the ACLU asked for out there.

Even more suprisingly, the "judge" is married to a Democrat congriftwoman. She of course has a different last name.

Wouldn't want the peasants to start getting thoughts about who their rulers are...

“This is a Communist uprising that should be completely squashed”

This is why napalm was invented.
