This video is only seven minutes, but can give you the fact based tools to see current events in their proper perspective. I implore you to use your time wisely by watching it.

Opening commentary from linked video at:

"Black Lives Matter Kills People" by Bill Whittle (originally published on August 30, 2016):

“Black Lives Matter is a Democratic Party scam. It is a combination street army, terrorist organization, and voter turnout machine and has killed, and will continue to kill, policemen, white people, hispanics, and asians. Oh, and…Black Lives Matter gets black people killed too."

That summarizes Black Lives Matter (and Antifa) perfectly and more succinctly than any other characterization I have seen. This short 7 minute video by Bill Whittle really explains a lot (and gets a lot of its derived data from the link to Heather MacDonald (who was at the Wall Street Journal at the time) who did the number crunching on the federally supplied numbers to reach her conclusions)

The linked video puts it in context, and explains much. If you want to understand any single thing about what is going on right now, watch the Bill Whittle video. It was created in 2016, but not a thing has changed except ONE thing:

Antifa is an accepted and integral arm of the Left in general, and the Democrat Party in particular. When watching the video, keep Antifa in mind as well.

Black Lives Matter is a racist organization founded on the racist premise that there exists an epidemic in the USA of black men being murdered by white policemen, when the exact opposite is true. The real shame and racist atrocity here is, Black Lives Matter follows the same financial and coercive principles that Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition used to adhere to, which is to shake down large corporations for money in exchange for not labeling them as racist and/or targeting them with public condemnation or picketing actions.

Granted, there are many organizations that will give them money because that allows them to virtue signal, most notably The Ford Foundation which I believe has given them up to $100 million dollars over the last five years, and various Soros Open Society organizations which have given tens of millions ($30 million last time I checked a few years ago)

Now, the number has grown, and the money flowing in makes The Ford Foundation look cheap. Bank of America, a Leftist organization to their rotten core, yesterday pledged a billion US dollars to , to include Netflix, NFL, and a host of others. (I recently terminated my Netflix account because of their wildly Leftist leanings, not to mention the content they feature)

Thanks to Ennis85 for putting this all in one place: Activision Blizzard, Amazon, Andrew Yang, Apple, AT&T, Ben and Jerry’s, Bethesda, Cartoon Network, Cash App, Citibank, Civvie11, Crunchyroll, CW Network, DC Comics, Disney, Dreamworks, EA Sports, Funimation, Gematsu, Google, Harmonix, HBO Max, Hulu, Idea Factory International, Instagram, Intel, Logitech, Marvel Entertainment, Microsoft, Mozilla, MTV, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann, Netflix, NFL, Nike, Patreon, PlayStation, Pornhub, PQube Games, Randy Orton, RevScarecrow, SK Gaming, Spotify, Spriters Resource, Star Wars, Target, Technology Connections, TronicsFix, Twitch.tv, Universal Music Group, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Xbox, YongYea, YouTube.

Many of the same people you expect, some new ones. The point is, there is a huge amount of money involved in this coming from the Left.

Any time the narrative comes up where there it is asserted there is an epidemic in the USA of black men being shot by police officers, here is the statistic that should lead off the ensuing conversation:

In 2015, according to federal crime statistics, a police officer of ANY race is 18 times more likely to die at the hands of a black man, than a black man is to die at the hands of a police officer. (From The Wall Street Journal: "The Myth of Systemic Police Racism" by Heather MacDonald) It is behind a paywall, so you might need to find a way to get around it.

If you are interested in a summary, she discusses it in an interview here: Heather MacDonald on Black Lives Matter: Does The Truth Matter?

She herself also did an excellent short video for the superlative PragerU Website: “Are the Police Racist?"

What is interesting is that she was pilloried and accused of being racist for stating the truth, so it is appropriate that her interview linked above addresses this. I have read her excellent and well researched and footnoted book: "The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe” by Heather MacDonald

I have posted links to this Bill Whittle video many times on FR, but this time seems appropriate.

There is one more thing that more than a little disturbing: This link HERE brings you close to the end of the linked video I included in the last email, and where the link drops you into his video, he is providing his own answer to his posed rhetorical question:

“Even at the going rate for professional protesters $130 million dollars is far more than they could possibly spend on street protests so…Why are they raising that kind of money?”

If you note the date of the release, it was August 2016, right smack in the middle of the LAST Presidential election. Could be coincidence, but right on cue, here we are today right in the middle of an election, so...I don't think it is. I believe Bill Whittle is absolutely correct, and even though I still don’t think the Left can win this Presidential election, they can win seats in the House and Senate. And I think that is their goal-to use this tool (Black Lives Matter/Antifa/Democrat Party/Willing and Compliant Media) a political Swiss Army Knife combination of street army, terrorist organization, and voter turnout machine to keep the House and swing the Senate.

Add Antifa into the mix, and It is uncanny how accurate his statements in this video from August 2016 have turned out to be.

Solid.

I am reminded of the Black Power Movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Here's the recipe: postal voting + armies of street thugs.

Got a MAGA yard sign? Your ballots will be stolen from your mailbox and repurposed. They'll know the delivery schedules.

Black Lives Matter is a Democratic Party scam. It is a combination street army, terrorist organization, and voter turnout machine and has killed, and will continue to kill,

If only the sheep would open their eyes of how the media hides the truth form them.

sorry - I was trying to answer the telephone.

Thanks for posting this.

I think this is important data (this is real, not made up or contrived) that we are going to need in the months going forward to refute the lies of the Left, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the Media. I am fully prepared to be labeled a racist by some for stating the truth, because that seems to be what happens to people who dare speak the truth in this day and age. That is what happened to Heather MacDonald when her article was published at the Wall Street Journal, on whose work this slides presented by Bill Whittle are based. For those who only want to see the data with context, here is a cutout of the slides with the commentary on each for context:

Facts are in democrats in more trouble good deal.

This exposé has stood the test of time -- it's very relevant to today's dilemma.

BIGLY TRUMP ping!

“I am thinking that these riots may be erupting up until Nov and voting time”.

I agree. Election day they’ll hit the poling places and intimidate people, or worse, and there won’t be enough cops to cover it all.

[rlmorel]

Heh, thank you. I rolled my eyes at myself when I saw your post and thought “Oh, man...I can’t do anything right here...I forgot to put the most important link in!” but I did remember (thank goodness) it was in the big red letters with the name of the video...

But a sincere thank you. The more links, the better!

The nearly all-white Unitarian Universalist “church” supports “Black Lives Matter” big-time!!!!

PHOOEY!!!!

May our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ make himself known to the UUs, and bring all whom He has ordained into the Holy Orthodox Church!!!!

Yes. That is the whole point of Heather MacDonald writing her book, Bill Whittle making the video using her data analysis, and my posting it here on Free Republic.

I am 100% prepared (because I know the Left in all of its iterations) for three things to take place:

1. The actual statistics, collected, collated, and transmitted to the federal government agencies such as the Department of Justice, who has mandated the reporting of accurate data on crime to the Federal Government to serve as a "Gold Standard", will be denounced as lies, as a statistical trick to portray a point of view, instead of reflecting reality.
   
   
2. I will be called a racist, Free Republic will be called Racist, anyone who reads this and even considers that it may have validity will be called a racist.
   
   
3. The number of people involved in supporting this insurrection based on a lie (who have sympathy for the criminals, are actively participating in the violence, or are silently condoning it) who will look at something like this and consider the facts is so vanishingly small as to be non-existent, since it is all emotion based or power based.

I can't help any of those things. But I can speak the truth aloud, even if I am pilloried for it, branded as a racist or bigot, or attacked for it. Because there is no factual basis, it is all emotionally driven for the people being manipulated, or power driven for the people fanning the flames.
