The Third Worlding of America
Townhall.com ^ | June 5, 2020 | Wiliam Marshall

The death of George Floyd was something out of the Third World. Anyone can empathize with the plight of another human being, hands cuffed behind his back, prostrate on the ground, with the knee of another person pressing into their neck for nearly nine minutes. A horrific scene.

But now the knee of the mob is crushing the neck of prostrate, civilized America, as we descend into a Third World cesspit with astonishing rapidity.

The images every night for the past week have been surreal. Hordes of Americans, black and white, burning, ransacking and pillaging with near impunity in cities across America, smashing windows and looting high fashion outlets and mom-and-pop stores alike. Police officers being thrown to the ground like ragdolls. Police officers being shot in the head or stabbed in the neck while trying to maintain order. Ivy League-educated corporate lawyers throwing a Molotov cocktail into a police car filled with officers. An old woman being beaten with a viciousness reminiscent of a beating delivered upon Jews by SS guards in the Warsaw ghetto. Her husband meets the same fate as he tries to defend her with a golf club.

A heroic 77-year-old retired black police captain shot to death trying to prevent looting. Shot to death for some televisions. Shot to death as he tried to protect the property at a friend’s pawn shop, after he’d spent a career defending the people of St. Louis.

God bless David Dorn. His final moments of life, captured by someone on a cell phone camera, were surely as painful to watch as those of George Floyd. And while no one should die as either man did, Mr. Dorn’s life exemplified what all Americans should aspire to, serving his fellow man. The same cannot be said of Mr. Floyd.

The brilliant conservative commentator, Candace Owens, did research into Mr. Floyd’s background. Her findings were very illuminating and can be seen here in a must-watch video. How many people know that Mr. Floyd, who many are holding up as a pillar of the community, was found by the medical examiner to have methamphetamine and fentanyl in his system? Or that he had served five separate stints in prison for various crimes? Or that one of those crimes was a home invasion, in which he stuck a pistol in the belly of a pregnant woman, while four cohorts ransacked her home looking for drugs and money? They settled with stealing her wallet and cell phone. Fortunately, the woman’s neighbor, suspicious of the activity at the home, caught the license plate of the men’s vehicle and called police. When caught, Mr. Floyd was driving the getaway car.

Yes, I understand that none of the foregoing excuses the actions of police officer Derek Chauvin in subduing Mr. Floyd while he was being arrested, yet again. No police officer I’ve ever met would condone kneeling on any detainee’s neck.

But if nationwide wilding and mayhem are to occur, with all the attendant deaths and destruction we have witnessed, how paradoxical it seems that the Great Rage should result from the unjustified death of home invader George Floyd, while David Dorn’s life was so casually forfeited by those claiming to be outraged at police brutality visited upon blacks. David Dorn was a police officer too, defending fellow blacks, and Missourians of every other stripe, for nearly four decades. His death has produced no similar outrage.

Kneeling into the neck of George Floyd only began our descent into national madness. Kneeling continues to be a theme in this continuing societal trauma as we witness the creepy spectacle of a crowd of “progressive” white automatons kneeling, with hands raised, before black activists demanding penitence. It appears to be some sort of ritualistic obeisance to blacks as atonement for the supplicants’ sin of having enjoyed “white privilege.”

The psychic damage evident in so many Americans today in the form of ideologically-based self-loathing has become shockingly apparent. No society whose members evince such self-hatred can be long for this world. Others with self-confidence will see opportunity and eventually seek to displace them, just as a lioness on the African plain can smell weakness among her prey.

Those who do the displacing may take the form of Islamic militants or anarcho-communists who call themselves Antifa, officially labeled a domestic terrorist organization recently, that is well-known and long-studied by those in the national security establishment. (For an excellent discussion of Antifa’s history, methodology and threat profile, see this Washington Times piece.)

The current anarchy is just the latest symptom in the Third Worlding that has been going on in America in recent times. Flashing warning signs have abounded for years.

Barack Obama weaponized the entire national security establishment of our country to remove his party’s political opponent in a fraudulently predicated counter-intelligence operation worthy of a tinpot South American dictator. Of course, even before he launched that seditious campaign, he had sicced the IRS on conservative Tea Party groups, which effectively crippled them before the 2018 elections, helping his party retake the House of Representatives that year.

And of course, we’ve had a pandemic virus, whose origin (whether in a lab or in a wet market) is still to be definitively ascertained, sweep the land. This resulted in the mandating of face mask-wearing for most Americans, like equatorial tribespeople in sub-Saharan Africa. This policy proved oh-so-helpful as the aforementioned Antifa destroyers could blend so seamlessly into crowds of similarly masked protesters as they went about their ransacking ways.

And finally, we’ve had most of the country’s population under virtual house arrest for nearly three months.

The total picture in America today – between virus, Visigoth-like mayhem, and economic shutdown - is so shocking as to be almost incomprehensible. It will be the responsibility of the current president and the one elected, or re-elected, in November, to restore sanity. Let us hope a return to the First World awaits.

Thuggery and anarchy is well-enshrined in entertainment culture. Celebratory, in fact.

It’s fed and inculcated a mindset that influences the way some people look at the world, and thus their politics.

The reality is that Whitey is not reproducing, thanks to high taxes that he is forced to pay for the individuals who ARE reproducing rapidly. Given enough time, Whitey will be replaced.

It’s just that the left is impatient, can’t let nature take her course, and wants Whitey eliminated and replaced NOW! (After taking all his money, of course.)

I am in a third world country right now. Civil disorder and widespread looting as in the US is unknown here, it simply has never happened since the Japanese army destroyed the place in 1945.

The police here are regularly brutal however.

It is certainly being embraced. The left largely control the narrative.

The current Marxist idea by more than a few people to ‘defund the police’ is so crazy I can hardly wrap my head around it.

Not 'civilized' but feminized.

There are MORE of us who are NOT 'prostrate'; but are rearing up on our hind legs and vowing...

Not on MY watch!

pandemic, no masks needed, shut businesses, stay home, now it’s masks on and maybe we can go back to work soon - except -2 weeks later we have masked rioting to destroy those businesses and jobs.

Nurses being laid off, teachers being laid of, students told to expect abbreviated school sessions, police jobs under attack and the elderly, abused and even abandoned by caregivers, are sitting ducks for a virus that kills them.

That’s pretty much all of the middle-class workers and their families. Stuck at home, and ordered to kneel to strangers on the street or perform other acts of self-debasement if we go out.

Meanwhile the blue-collar workers never stopped working and continue to hide disease so they can continue to work. Rich folk never stopped anything because their wealth insulates them. The politicians openly defy their electorate and their own rules. And all three lecture the middle class stuck in their homes, eating their savings, on their ‘privilege’

What the hell is going on?

“ Thuggery and anarchy is well-enshrined in entertainment culture. ”

Which is why Drew Brees’ cowardly joining NFL thugs in condemnation of the flag and at such a time is so disgusting

Diabolical.

Thuggery and anarchy is how most of the human race lived for most of history.

Civilization is a rare gift—and cannot survive with spoiled people who do not treasure it.

When we see ancient ruins we often wonder what happened to their great cities.

Now we know.

I think we can see that in the way the mob reacted to the sight of the President holding a Bible. The Bible represents law, the law that has underlain Western and all Judeo-Christian societies for millennia, and of which the US is a product.

Entertainment culture represents the complete rejection of this law and its replacement by the law of the jungle, which is anarchy where only thuggery and brute power matter.

I think this is true: “It will be the responsibility of the current president and the one elected, or re-elected, in November, to restore sanity. Let us hope a return to the First World awaits.“ But I don’t know how it’s going to happen.

I wonder how that group in the photo would survive on that Survivor program?

No ‘teams’; just the bunch of them - starting their OWN society.

I wonder what kind of ‘laws’ they’d come up with.

I wonder how they’d deal with the one(s) who didn’t want to follow mthose laws...

Gave it some thought on how to control this, the military have systems that when pointed in your direction can make you soil yourself instantly, they also have systems to produce heat shields and last but no least snipers on roof tops with techs at hand pinpointing antifa orchestra-tors in the crowd and taking a few out. Word will get out quick and This will positively take them off the streets where we can locate them better

...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
 
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
 

 
BOTH sides believe this to be true!!

REALITY CHECK: examining the atrocious activities enumerated above under the political microscope, we know Democrats are gleeful behind closed doors; these mob activities are going to get them back in total power over the rest of us.

CASE IN POINT Former Vice President Joe Biden just claimed Thursday that "10 to 15 percent" of Americans are "just not very good people." Biden held a virtual town hall with black supporters where he knocked President Trump. “The words a president says matter, so when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you’re gonna the worst to come out.” (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...

========================================

SAY IT AGAIN: Joe Biden claims "10 to 15 percent" of Americans are "just not very good people."

Get that in writing people.......he's talking about "deplorables".......that same group that trounced Hillary.

When she opened her big mouth about Trump supporters being "deplorables" Hillary signaled how much she despises those Americans.

They responded in kind and burst her little dream bubble of becoming president bigtime.

=================================================

Craven politicians like Biden and Hillary turn themselves inside out to make the electorate "like them" enough to vote for them.

What they stupidly fail to realize is that, more importantly, voters want to know whether the candidate "likes the voters."
