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
Thanks for those links to Bill Whittle’s condensed master classes!
Great to “see” you, Syncro!
I hope it is sinking in to our “leaders” that this insurrection is no ordinary “protest.”
Those are great...I haven’t watched them in about a year...I need a refresher...;)
Yes It is insurrection and part of the coup attempt to overthrow the government just because Trump is prez.
And the leftist leaders don't care if what they are a part of is quite Unconstitutional and could get them in real trouble.
But it would take a lot of resolve for GOP leaders to give up their elitist lifestyles.
The ppl that fought to found this country were under 20% of the population, the others preferred velvet chains.
The Founders 'Pledged Their Lives, Fortunes And Sacred Honor' and put all at risk to assure us of having a Constitutional Republic...if we can keep it!
Keep up the good work, I'm always glad to see your posts and pings.
And BLM has tax exempt 501(c)(3) status, per Charity Navigator.
So, all of the millions collected in the grand corporate shakedown that Jesse Jackson can only dream about, is tax freeeeeeeeee!
BTTT!!
Glad you found it useful, FRiend...
