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 Jacksons 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 Jerrys, 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 Dogs 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.

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
You’re welcome, good to see you on the thread. It is old information, but...even more valid today than it was back in August of 2016...
It does.
So true, and thank you.
Whittle is one of the best communicators we have. Am amazed how many folks have somehow never had the chance to listen to his insights.
I don’t listen to much talk radio these days, but his observations are so concise, I always thought he should be on the little station breaks ;)
Stay well,
Tatt
bmk
You too!
BTTT!
Thanks, rlmorel. These are great short videos. Just watched a couple. Many thanks for the links.
I will pass them along to people.
I think we can say: with Bill Whittle, not a word is wasted explaining what you need to know.
I like the word “pithy” — substantive. No can say they wasted their time with these vids. And it takes great intelligence to be pithy.
Indeed...he doesn’t pussyfoot around, and I like that.
“Love Bill Whittle,” well, Ditto, I like him too.......
Excellent
I love Bill Whittle!
Oh and DC is inviting more fires violence and looting.
Prime time for the Anarchist Terrorists is sundown to 11pm
So instead of Curfew at 7pm which it was Mon and Tue they have changed it to 11pm like it was Sunday when they burned the cool old church!
The mayor girl chastised Trump for protecting DC so this is her way to punish him.
He needs to get those troops there ASAP!
It’s 10:40 There now.
Nowhere was God mentioned. But one of the signs said something to the effect of "Don't let anyone tell you what is good and what is bad, who is right and who is wrong. You decide that for yourself."
I admit, I must have had my mouth open reading that while my wife was looking at trinkets. Thinking for yourself is an important thing, as my tagline attests. But in a religious context? This is what they were teaching kids?
We have another church like that in another town, and they have had this banner up for the last four years:
I saw the banner had fallen down one day, and thought it was great, they might leave it down, but they put it back up.
There are three things the fill me fully with contempt for the people brandishing them: Bernie Sanders stickers, Elizabeth Warren signs, and Black Lives Matter banners. They speak volumes about the bearer, and not a single one of them can rise above the level of whale dung.
At least they aren’t flying a rainbow flag.
The ONLY good thing about the lockdowns and insurrection is that there has been hardly a peep about “Pride Month.”
Might be wrong of me, but since Christians lost Holy Week and Easter and the law enforcement community lost Police Memorial it does my wicked heart good to see the LBBTQRSTUVWXWZ+ lose their “holy month”.
I am with you on that.
Honestly, I detest all of it. I hate Black History Month, Women’s Month, Girls In STEM Month, Yellow Yarn Knitter’s Month, all of it.
If they had a White Person’s Month, I would hate it equally.
I despise the worthless, useless, pandering in all cases...
UU “churches” ALWAYS fly the rainbow flag!!!! So do many ELCA, Episcopal, UCC, etc. etc. churches!!!!
A I’ve said before, June should REALLY be Serbian-American Heritage Month!!!! June 1 is the commemoration of St. Justin of Celje (along with St. Justin the Philosopher), June 28 is Vidovdan, etc. etc.
https://orthodoxwiki.org/Justin_Popovich
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidovdan
Meanwhile, the “gays” and leftists have been figuring out how to celebrate “pride month”, even during the pandemic and lockdowns. Phooey!!
And the Apostles Peter & Paul on the 29th and the Synaxis of the Apostles on the 30th
Those dates are 13 days later on the Old Calendar, used by the Serbian Orthodox Church!
But Holy Pentecost is in June on both Calendars!!!!
How many times have we had to go though the aftermaths of a “pride” parade in order to celebrate the Vigil for Pentecost at a downtown cathedral? Phooey!
Thank you, Brown Deer. I am not much of a fan of Tucker Carlson, he is often to me like a clock that is right twice a day, but this is one of those times!
Thank you.
