This is WITHOUT QUESTION the best synopsis of current events in America, and Guy Milliere is a Frenchman (who usually focuses on French politics). The incredible clarity with which he sees us is truly amazing and well-thought.

This is a MUST READ, and possibly even a MUST BOOKMARK essay.

This one, please, take the time to really read it. This French essayist crystallizes current events far better than anyone else I have read in the last year.

“Are the politicians who claim to want help distressed communities the very ones keeping the distressed communities distressed — and in a perpetual state of reaching out to those same politicians for dangled promises of help?”

Notably Excepting Trump, politicians don’t want to fix any issue but to exacerbate it it to keep it active as an issue to help their re-election.

“If you’re not part of the solution, there’s good money to be made in prolonging the problem.”

—good article but I dispute this, as did the autopsy——

“On May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a police officer, Derek Chauvin, who already had 18 complaints lodged against him, killed a black man, George Floyd, by kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes.”

—Floyd died of heart failure , most likely brought on by his ingestion of controlled substances and the thought of going back to jail—

The incredible clarity with which he sees us is truly amazing and well-thought.

Its hard to find thoughtful and cogent clarity like this anymore because the Left is so adept at creating political noise, emotional crusades and media misdirection to drown out facts, logic and reason.

Thanks for posting this.

....will be met with a will, a duty, an oath, an overwhelming ability, to protect and defend America and her Constitution.

Hard to believe it is so good, when it starts with a false premise:

On May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a police officer, Derek Chauvin, who already had 18 complaints lodged against him, killed a black man, George Floyd, by kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

On your recommendation, I will read more.

When I first posted I hadn't read the Trump quote at the end. While each of us might shout YES!, we have to ask ourselves whether our Red Line exists past our front door? In a speech on July 6, 2017, U.S. President Donald J. Trump said: "The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values ​​to defend them at any cost? ... Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?" Good question.

“Sadly, when it comes to black-on-black violence, no one seems to care.” IF black lives really mattered to these anarchic racists, THEY would be stopping the slaughter of black children, sensing and alive in the wombs of black mothers. Black lives are a vehicle for these anarchist to empower themselves. Sacrificing millions of black children is a means to an end they envision. Their agenda is evil and they are evil.

Unfortunately, always and everywhere, the absence of police -- for instance replacing them with social workers -- will lead to an explosion of crime and disorder,...

An explosion of crime and disorder IS THE GOAL.

How many 'hints' do we need before we figure out these people know what they're doing?

They know what they're doing. Let it sink in.

They know what they're doing - they know the outcomes.

They understand what riots, looting, violence and disorder will do to the citizens of target cities. They know what effect it'll have on near term elections. They've done this is other countries -- Cuba - Valenzuela to name a few...

What they're doing is intentional. It's a commie tactic.

It's like we're lecturing a psychopath on why he shouldn't rape a child then kill the child's parents in front of her. We're standing there saying, 'don't you know this will hurt the child?' Don't you know it will scar her grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters and brothers? Don't you understand the damage this will do?

THE PSYCHOPATH KNOWS.

LET'S STOP BEING SO DAMN GULLIBLE.

The mob's destruction or removal of statues appears an attempt to erase the history of the United States.

It is an attempt to erase the history of the United States. Due to the idiots being dumbed down by the Educational system, it is succeeding. Hollywood through its movies is helping. Ditto the news media but since they are both a product of the Educational System that is understandable.

The man is telling the truth. He knows what he is talking about. His subjects are digging their own graves and don't know it. They were born fools, perhaps educated fools, but fools none the less. They have lived their lives as fools, secure in the knowledge they know everything in the Universe. But they know nothing. And when they die, they will die as fools.

Before noticing the author, I thought I was reading something by Dr. Thomas Sowell. Yes, Milliere’s intellect is in that league.
