Have you become a guilt slave?



Chick-fil-A CEO suggests white people shine the shoes of black people to express 'shame' over racism

Dan Cathy even gave a demonstration


Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy suggested during a church service that one way for white people to atone for racism in the United States is to shine the shoes of black people, to express their "shame."

Cathy sat down for a televised discussion at Atlanta's Passion City Church on Sunday with Pastor Louie Giglio and rapper Lecrae to engage in what the church described as "an open and honest conversation around how racism has plagued our city for generations, and the steps we can all take to confront it head-on in our church, our neighborhoods, and our hearts."


"So I invite folks to just put some words to action here," Cathy said, standing up and walking over to Lecrae with a shoe brush in hand. As he knelt down before the rapper, the CEO continued, "If we need to find somebody that needs to have their shoes shined, we just need to go right on over and shine their shoes and whether they got tennis shoes on or not, maybe they got sandals on, it really doesn't matter.

But there's a time at which we need to have, you know, some personal action here. Maybe we need to give them a hug, too." After sharing a hug, Cathy walked back to his seat as Lecrae joked, "And some stock in Chick-fil-A."









Editor Note


White people don't need to atone for  the racism of the past present or future.

Why is this do you ask?

Atonement is the concept of a person taking action to correct previous wrongdoing on their part, either through direct action to undo the consequences of that act, equivalent action to do good for others, or some other expression of feelings of remorse.

If you need to correct a previous wrongdoing on your part to a black person  if possible you should make amends to that person.

If its not possible to make amends to the person you have wronged in the past you could make amends to another black person or persons if this would make you feel better.

But it would not be making amends to the person who you harmed in some way.

Just going around shinning a black persons shoes or hugging them isn't going to make amends to the black person you harmed for some reason.

Buying them a chick fa la sandwich would be a good gesture but would it be appropriate?

If the black person you offended accepted the chick fa la sandwich and forgave you it would be appropriate.

Of course you could also buy more chick fa l sandwiches for other black people if it made you feel better as if you were making amends to the original black person you offended or harmed.


Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is not atoning for racism, his or any other white person.


He feels the need to express  "shame" for himself and other white people in the form of shinning shoes while promoting chick fa la.

This is a prime example of what other corporations are doing and have been doing for years.

Acting like they are atoning for white people's racism while promoting their product.

I have no need for Dan Cathy to atone for something I have not done in the past.

I have no need to feel guilty for crimes that were done by others.



Shame is an unpleasant self-conscious emotion typically associated with a negative evaluation of the self; withdrawal motivations; and feelings of distress, exposure, mistrust, powerlessness, and worthlessness.

In an evaluation of myself I see a self conscious need to refute the need of other to atone for me for something I am not guilty of because of past history of slavery etc.

As an individual I deal with people on a personal basis and consider their individual actions.

My heart or my emotions are controlled by logical consideration of situations in dealing with blacks or others.

When the national social media tells me I need to shine shoes because of my guilt of others I know its not a valid reason but just another ploy to try and make me feel guilty for the sins of others and what they have done, black or white.

I am not without guilt for things I have done in the past.

People should go directly to the person that they have wronged personally and make amends.

There is no need for me to go around making amends to others I have not wronged.

The BLM, corporations along with the national media is promoting a false narrative that you and I need to atone for the sins of others through jestures like shinning shoes etc.

The BLM narrative wants to make you feel guilty for something you are not responsible for.

I will never take a knee to BLM and their false idol and narrative.

Many will be thinking like Dan Cathy that its the right thing to do to show remorse for the murder of George Floyd etc.

Remorse is a distressing emotion experienced by a person who regrets actions which they deem to be shameful, hurtful, or wrong. Remorse is closely allied to guilt and self-directed resentment.  

The murder of George Floyd was wrong, shameful and distressing causing me and others to think the police officer was wrong in what he did.


THE BIG DIFFERENCE WITH ME IS MY REMORSE DID NOT INCLUDE:

GUILT OR SELF DIRCTED RESENTMENT FOR SOMETHING I WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR.

BLM and the national media wants you to feel guilty and have self directed resentment for being white.

They are using the remorse you feel to control your emotions and cause you to feel guilty for George Floyd's death.

As long as you let them control your emotions they will and you like many others will be at their mercy.

You have become their GUILT SLAVE!

A slave to your emotions based on remorse for black people being shot by police for various reasons.

Your now on the BLM plantation. Your freedom has been taken away. 

Your master is BLM and the media along with people like  Dan Cathy ceo of chick fa la.

You are being manipulated and controlled via the media with a false sense of shame and guilt for something you did not do.

Think about it. 

This blog could be your  Emancipation Proclamation in the form of a logical explaination of your current state of mind based on your emotions alone.

Escape from the BLM/MEDIA/CORPORATION Plantation.

Managing Perceived Threat When Dealing With An Officer Of The Law




An Aggressive, disrespectful and  defiant attitude is perceived by law enforcement as a possible threat.

Its is the same for an individual if  law enforcement is presented in this way.


In todays culture youth are taught to be aggressive, disrespectful and defiant towards all authority.

Youth are taught to perceive law enforcement as an automatic threat.

Police on the other hand are taught to defend against a perceived threat when presented with a youth etc who displays an aggressive, disrespectful or defiant attitude when dealing with the public.


The answer to hate groups who support rioting, looting and killing police because of media bias toward law enforcement is informing the public about misconceptions in dealing with law enforcement situations.


First listen to THIS short radio interview with Brandon Mcconnell a former law officer.

BadgeWise.mp3   14 Min 11 Sec of wisdom that could save your life or a loved one life.

Managing your own perceived threat is the key to understanding how your are perceived by law enforcement.

An Aggressive, disrespectful and  defiant attitude is perceived by law enforcement as a possible threat.

Todays youth don't understand the  consequences and the way threats are perceived by law enforcement.

People also don't understand the ways things can turn bad in a police interaction.

Knowing that your own personal perception of law enforcement that presents an automatic threat to police  could cause a situation to go bad is knowing how to deal with law enforcement properly and SAFELY!

The constant drumbeat of the media has given society today an incorrect assumption that all police or law enforcement are a potential threat.

The "black lives matter" group uses this misconception to prey on the public for the sole purpose of fundraising for a  unrelated agendas also.

Propaganda is communication that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda.

"black lives matter" propaganda is selectively used to encourage a particular synthesis or perception,  using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented.

A rational response to emotional language and propaganda is presented in THIS short radio interview with Brandon Mcconnell a former law officer.

The answer to the slogan of  "black lives matter" rhetoric of racebaiting and deception is a rational response to their misinformation.

BadgeWise Free Citizen Training 1/13: Introduction      YouTube Link










BadgeWise is a FREE training program developed by an ex-cop who wants to teach you how to stay safe when dealing with an officer.
 
We are failing our society by not teaching our citizens how to deal with the police. BadgeWise is all about how to manage your perceived threat to law enforcement because the more actual threats there are to the police, the more innocent actions will be seen as a threat.

Be sure to watch all 13 short videos so you can have a better understanding of the officers in your community and how to stay safe. At the end you will know the 7 things everyone needs to know about the police as well as 4 simple tips you can use to virtually eliminate the likelihood of being on the wrong end of a use of force.

Visit BadgeWise Free Citizen Training 1/13: Introduction    for more information on law enforcement issues and how to stay safe when dealing with the police.

The BadgeWise online academy is a free training product developed by me, an ex-cop who wants to teach you how to stay safe when dealing with an officer.

Hello and Welcome to BadgeWise’s online training program. My name is Brandon McConnell and I want to thank you for being here. I’m an ex-cop who worked in one of the highest-crime areas in the Southeast and I want to solve a problem.

This is a problem that disproportionately affects you and your peers as young adults.

You see, the police are a fact of life but it is becoming increasingly obvious our high school and college aged people are not adequately equipped to deal with them safely.

This is one of the greatest failures of our society in the 21st century.

Working as an officer I realized there is a growing divide between the expectations of society and the standard operating procedures of modern law enforcement.

We are going to start to close that divide here today, but before we begin I want to make one thing clear. This program is not going to be some ex-cop telling you not to think for yourself or that your only role in all of this is to simply do what you are told.

I want you to consider the information being presented and draw your own conclusions. I’m not here to change anyone’s opinion of the police. What I am here to do is share facts and information that will save lives.

Police officers are thoroughly trained on how to stay safe when dealing with citizens and it wasn’t until I got out of law enforcement that I realized there is no such training for citizens on how to safely deal with an officer.

What we are going to do with BadgeWise is take the countless hours of training I received and turn it around for you.

Once you see behind the curtain and understand how the police think and operate, you will be much safer the next time you get pulled over or are otherwise approached by an officer.

I want to put you in my boots as a COP so you have a better understanding of how threats are perceived, and how you can adapt your actions to stay safe.

This will be done by exposing you to 2 distinct blocks of instruction.

Block 1 is all about how the police are trained. This is where you will learn 7 things I didn’t know about officers until I was one. More importantly we are going to unpack each of these issues to reveal how they affect all of us when we are dealing with the police.

Block 2 is where we will cover the harmless actions people take every day that could be perceived as a threat by officers.

Put bluntly, this block covers the things that YOU can do differently to dictate how your interactions with the police turn out.

I’m the type of person who has always needed a reason to do what I am told. If you can relate to that sentiment, block one will give you the reason and block two will give you the “what to do” of it all.

Our focus throughout the entirety of this material will be on how to prevent being perceived as a threat to Law Enforcement.

That is because whether you are a genuine threat, or are merely perceived as a threat makes no difference.

An officer’s response will be the same for either.

Police and community relations are as bad now as they have ever been.

Things are escalating on both sides and the sad truth is this: the more actual threats there are, the more perceived threats there will be.

Let’s get started; I’ll see you in the next video.

Episode 2 After Drive Through Gone Bad Wendy's Torched In Atlanta. BLM Full Agenda Exposed.











Rayshard Brooks was found asleep in his car while in a wendys drive thru. The officer woke him up several times. Each time he went back to sleep and did not more his car.

Finally he moved his car out of the drive thru and parked hearby. The officer continued o watch him noting he went to sleep again. After a few minutes he ask him for his drivers license and had to ask him over and over to stay in his car.

Rayshard Brooks was talking and acting like he was under the influence of something. He was given a field soberiety test, which he failed.

He was then told he was under arrest. He struggled with two officers and resisted arrest then ran after taking the officer's taser.


While running away he turned toward the officer and fired his taser at the officer.

The officer then shot rayshard brooks three times after he began to turn away and run away from him.

He shot brooks in the back while he was running away.

This was justified by the officer. He  killed a man while he was running away with a tazer while he had poseing a threat to the officer and those he is sworn to protect, ie those in the wendy's parking lot also.

badgewize    Explains why the officer was justified in shooting Brooks.






Officer Garrett Rolfe is another example of a cop doing his job correctly while trying to arrest Brooks.

Brooks was a threat to  the public and should have been arrested.

Rayshard Brooks should NOT have been shot while running from Garrett Rolfe even though he had fired the officer's taser at him.

The threat from Rayshard Brooks was increased when Rayshard Brooks turned and fired the officers tazar at him.  The tazar had more than one shot. At this point deadly force use by the officer was justified.

In most states if you shoot someone when they are running away from you it is a big mistake and you can be charged with murder.

Garrett Rolfdidi not just shoot someone running away from him but a person who was also using a lethal weapon, a tazar, in the hands of someone who was a threat to the police officers life.


A police officer can only use lethal force when he is protecting himself or others from a threat to his life or others.

Pointing and shooting a taser is a threat of course.


If I had a weapon and someone other than a police officer pointed and fired a taser at me yes I would return fire.

The cop was justified using his weapon when the taser was fired at him.

WHY?  badgewize    Explains why the officer was justified in shooting Brooks.


In Review:

Yes the police officer had the right to defend himself when Rayshard Brooks fired his taser at him.

It was a close call and the cop made the right call. He is now charged with murder but this is NOT justified.

The cop made a split decision that was a good decision.

Raymond Brooks has payed the price for sleeping in a drive thru and made a decision to grab the cop's taser while resisting arrest.



The protesters or protester also mad a bad choice by burning down wendy's because of the shooting.

I hope the person or persons who burned down the wendys will be caught and charged with arson etc.

Some people will be incited to riot and persecute the police.

Garrett Rolf and Raymond James should NOT be blamed for what happened.

Raymond James did not overreact nor did Garret Rolf.

There was NO EXCUSE for protesters to overreact because of what happened.

The burning down of wendys was an act of terrorism only.

The violence by antifa and "black lives matter" are also just acts of terrorism that are in no way justified.

"black lives matter" and antifi blames ALL cops for ANY act of violence by ANY cop.

This violence is in NO WAY justified!

Cops nationwide are not responsible for what Ramond Brooks death nor is it a common problem with cops nationwide.

The news media promotes violence and terrorism by the radical groups 'black lives matter" and antifa etc.

Anytime you blame a massive group of people for a crime committed by one person or a few persons is not logical and makes NO sense.

I could easily blame ALL blacks for the violence "black lives matter" commits but this is not true.


Some protesters commit violence and cause destruction and in some cases the death of other people especially the recent murder of some cops.

Not all protesters commit crimes or commit violence or commit murder.

Some in the groups antifa and 'black lives matter" do.

The problem is this:

 If you support antifa or 'black lives matter" radical violent groups you are helping to promote their cause of violence and anarchy all in the name of justice for those who they have painted as needing justice whom the majority have committed crimes.

You also are promoting the LIE that all cops are bad and the police should be disbanded.


When you join antfi or "black lives matter" radical groups you become a big part of the problem.

You become associated with destruction and violence thinking you are part of the solution


Taking a knee to "black lives matter" is taking a knee to violence and destruction.

Support the police and realize there is a big difference in a bad cop and all cops.

George Floyd was murdered by a bad cop.


Don't have a knee jerk reaction to what you see in the news.

Don't bend you knee to your emotions while allowing you logic to be gone with the wind.


Don't include yourself in groups that support destruction and violence.

Like dabo sweeny said, read the fine print of the group you are supporting be fore you join in the protest.

badgewize    Explains why the officer was justified in shooting Brooks.  The fine print.

Dabo sweeny  did not follow his own advice and did not read the fine print about "black lives matter".









"Black lives matter" is a misnomer. A name that is incorrectly applied. Misnomers often arise because something was named long before its correct nature was known, or because an earlier form of something has been replaced by something to which the name no longer applies.

The group that calls itself black lives matter is a organization that has only coopted the meaning of the phrase "black lives matter".


Many people might not realize that Black Lives Matter is a distinct political organization, not just a slogan or social media hashtag, and it has both enormous funding and a wide-ranging political agenda.


The Complex Funding and Ideology of Black Lives Matter 


THIS IS THE FINE PRINT THAT DABO SWEENY, CLEMSON FOOTBALL COACH, FAILED TO READ HIMSELF BEFORE HE TOOK AN KNEE TO BLACK LIVES MATTER AND SAID, "I WHOLE HEARTEDLY SUPPORT BLACK LIVES MATTER".


Many other people have also failed to read the fine print about the black lives matter political slogan.


Political and corporate support for Black Lives Matter has become ubiquitous over the past week. Everyone’s email inbox is bulging with messages of support from corporate sponsors, every website is covered with Black Lives Matter logos, and the group has benefited from numerous fundraisers and charity sales. But, many people might not realize that Black Lives Matter is a distinct political organization, not just a slogan or social media hashtag, and it has both enormous funding and a wide-ranging political agenda.

Founded by Radicals


BLM describes its own founders as “three radical Black organizers” named Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, who “created a Black-centered political will and movement building project… in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman.”


BLM’s history page proudly salutes the radical causes built into its DNA since its 2013 founding, including “liberation” politics and transgenderism.


In fact, BLM thinks other black civil rights movements aren’t nearly radical enough, especially when it comes to the gender politics of the hard Left:

“Black liberation movements in this country have created room, space, and leadership mostly for Black heterosexual, cisgender men – leaving women, queer and transgender people, and others either out of the movement or in the background to move the work forward with little or no recognition.”

Transgenderism is a big thing with the group called black lives matter and one of its main themes and causes.

BLM incessantly refers to the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and others as “murder,” ignoring all court decisions to the contrary, and describes police work as “state-sanctioned violence” against oppressed populations.

{This is a constant lie BLM promotes.}

 In the course of explaining how it was formed, the group refers to cities like Ferguson, Missouri, as “occupied territory” – with law enforcement cast as a brutal invading force – and insists most other cities should be seen the same way: “We understood Ferguson was not an aberration, but in fact, a clear point of reference for what was happening to Black communities everywhere.”

Corporate and foundation sponsors appear unconcerned that BLM is unclear about who runs the movement today and commands its vast resources.

The group itself claims it has no top-level leadership at all: “The project is now a member-led global network of more than 40 chapters.

Our members organize and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

The BLM founders are involved in a sprawling network of other left-wing groups and clearly remain influential with Black Lives Matter, although they are not held accountable as its executives.

A New Yorker interview with Tometi on June 3, for example, treated her as a top BLM spokeswoman while noting that she has moved on to create and manage other organizations, most recently including an immigration activist group called the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, which is listed as a “partner” by Black Lives Matter.

Another partner is the UndocuBlack Network, a “multigenerational network of currently and formerly undocumented black people.”

“We have been fighting and advocating to stop a war on black lives. And that is how we see it – this is a war on black life.

{This is another constant lie BLM promotes.}

And people understand that this system is filled with all sorts of inequality and injustice, and that implicit bias and just outright racism is embedded in the way that policing is done in this nation

 {Another constant distortion of the truth by BLM that they promote.}

 – and when you think about it historically, it was founded as a slave patrol. The evolution of policing was rooted in that,” Tometi said in her New Yorker interview.

BLM call the police, "A slave patrol".

Police protect both black and whites on a daily basis.

badgewize    Explains why the officer was justified in shooting Brooks.

Most prople don't consider themselves as slaves being patrolled by cops, only the BLM radical racist hate group does.

Hate for cops and hate for all of America.



BLM Funding

As the Washington Times noted in 2016, Black Lives Matter (BLM) presents itself as a plucky street-level movement with shoestring resources, but in truth it receives millions of dollars from corporate and political sponsors.

The movement’s funding gives a hint of how far its political agenda stretches beyond criticizing the excessive use of force by police officers.

Fortune also looked at BLM funding in 2016 and noticed its agenda and funding streams could “help dispel the myth that the movement itself is set on violence,” but could also “confirm the worst fears” of skeptics who saw BLM becoming another part of the vast and protean left-wing money machine.

{BLM is just a radical socialist money machine.}


The machinery of BLM funding has only grown more complex since 2016, exacerbating a problem skeptics have warned about from the start: it is very difficult to know what each dollar donated to the movement will actually be used for. 

BLM’s major financial supporters include:
  • Airbnb – $500,000 to BLM and the NAACP
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills fashions – $1 million pledged, $100,000 donated so far to groups including BLM
  • Bad Robot Productions – film studio involved in Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mission Impossible, $10 million pledged to “anti-racist” groups. BLM among the first recipients
  • BTS, a Korean pop group – $1 million, matching donations from fans
  • Cisco, electronics giant – $5 million to groups including BLM and its own Fighting Racism and Discrimination fund
  • DECIEM cosmetics – $100,000 to NAACP and BLM  
  • Democracy Alliance – another Soros-linked group, added BLM to its annual $500 million donor list
  • Door Dash – food delivery company, $500,000
  • Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy – Left-wing groups that established a $100 million donor fund
  • George Soros’ Open Society Foundation – $33 million  - {NOTE 33 MILLION!}
  • Glossier cosmetics – $500,000
  • Pokemon Company – owners of the popular card game and its characters, $100,000
  • Scopely – mobile phone game developer, $1 million to BLM, NAACP, and Equal Justice Initiative
  • Spanx – undergarment manufacturer, $100,000 to groups including BLM
  • Square Enix computer games – $250,000 to BLM, also matching employee donations
  • Ubisoft computer games – $100,000 to NAACP and BLM
  • The Weeknd – Canadian R&B singer, $250,000


Sources include the above-mentioned Washington Times and Fortune pieces, Politico, Rolling Stone, Forbes, NBC News, The Wrap, and Elle, which has a long list of fashion and cosmetics firms making donations to BLM. ArtNet on Monday published a list of artists and galleries holding charity sales to support BLM.  

The L.A. Times on Tuesday reported numerous companies are implementing donor-match programs that will match individual employee donations to Black Lives Matter with corporate funds. 


As several of the above sources pointed out, it’s not always easy to tell when donations are going to BLM itself or its partners.

The Financial Times reported that a flood of cash is pouring into civil rights groups, many of them allied with BLM or supportive of its projects.

NBC News’ article about “corporate donations for BLM” only mentioned a few direct donations to the Black Lives Matter organization; the rest went to groups like the NAACP, ACLU, and Southern Poverty Law Center. 


Groups like the Ford Foundation, Borealis Philanthropy, and Democracy Alliance tend to establish large funds that are disbursed to many smaller organizations, chapters, and individual activists. Not everyone who claims to be with “Black Lives Matter” is a certified member of the group founded by Garza, Cullors, and Tometi.



New York Magazine published an approving article on June 4 telling readers how to donate money to the Black Lives Matter movement.

The article listed one hundred and fifteen “funds, organizations, and individual activists” linked to BLM, and those were just the financial intakes New York felt it had adequately “vetted” to ensure they weren’t outright scams. 

The article subdivided these 115 recommended donation recipients based on how they pledge to use the money they are given, “whether that’s to post bail/bonds for demonstrators arrested at protests, to purchase protective equipment to protesters on the front lines, to invest in rebuilding black communities where protests have occurred, or to invest in community enrichment programs for black and brown youth.” 

In the course of a very approving June 6 piece about the growth of bail funds, The Atlantic let slip a little hint about the difficulty of tracing these tens of millions of dollars in donations: “Whether celebrities – or anyone, for that matter – who donate to a bail fund believe that the system needs a total overhaul is almost irrelevant.

Their money equips activists and organizers to do work that tangibly improves the lives of people whom the police often target.”

{This is also a BIG LIE of BLM.}

In other words, money is fluid and fungible, and donors often end up financing agendas they might not fully agree with when they give money to a slogan.

If you take a knee to BLM like dabo sweeny did without reading the fine print about BLM like he told his students to do you too will be supporting and financing political agendas you don't agree with. I doubt if dabo sweeny agrees with the transgenger movement but again I don't really know I haven't ask him nor has any of the nation or local media.}


The value of nearly-ubiquitous corporate promotion of the Black Lives Matter name over the past week is incalculable – there is nothing that kind of full-spectrum, all but inescapable advertising across television, print media, and the Internet could be compared to.




The Full BLM Agenda


From the earliest days of the BLM movement, as the 2016 pieces cited above indicate, critics have noticed it has a very wide-ranging agenda that reaches far beyond police issues – and, sometimes, working against black lives.

At the time of this writing, the top agenda item on the BLM web page is “Defund the Police” – a position only a very small minority of Americans supports, including a very small share of black Americans.

Black Lives Matter has a lengthy “What We Believe” statement on its website that begins with highly contentious and politicized assertions such as expressing rage at “the death of Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of his killer, George Zimmerman” and moving along to “justice for Mike Brown and all of those who have been torn apart by state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism.”

Further down the page, the official BLM agenda wanders into support for transgenderism, a vow to “dismantle cisgender privilege,” and some very heavy-duty plans for destroying and rebuilding American society:



We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).(Emphasis added.)


{Note also that if you whole heartedly support black lives matter, a slogan, you are supporting a QUEER affiriming network!} Did you read that fine print Dabo? Do you support queers?}


In Boston, Massachusetts, a BLM chapter is asking that $15 million in American taxpayer money be spent on providing summer jobs to — not Black Americans — but illegal aliens. Study after study has revealed that every ten percent increase in the immigrant share of an occupation reduces the income of black American men by roughly five percent.

By doing business with companies that support BLM, you might be inadvertently funding its destructive and coercive left-wing policy agenda.

Once upon a time, even Democrats understood how radical that agenda was, as a leaked memo from 2015 revealed Democrat Party leadership warning staffers and politicians to keep their distance from the movement.

{Now because it has become a democrate cash cow they liberal radical democrates support BLM.}



Hashtag Confusion

As mentioned above, many people think “Black Lives Matter” is a slogan, an ideal, or a grassroots movement, not a political organization with eight figures of funding and a hardcore left-wing policy agenda. 

{"Black lives matter" IS ONLY A CORPORATE SLOGAN of BLM!}


This is a very old game practiced by both amateurs and political professionals.

Every bill that passes through Congress is given a name that suggests only the most heartless villain could possibly oppose it. 

Many organizations on both the Left and Right claim to speak for sympathetic constituencies, or carefully cultivate an image of being much less wealthy and powerful than they actually are. 

In the case of Black Lives Matter, the movement’s slogan is effectively becoming the definition of “anti-racism,” which means all disagreement and doubt are racist by definition.


{This the BIG current lie being promoted by the BLM corporation.} 


This can be seen in the white-hot rage directed at anyone who dares to say “All Lives Matter,” for example – a phrase as inherently benevolent and obviously true as “Black Lives Matter,” but the “All” formulation has been redefined as a vile curse, an unforgivable assault on the purity of Black Lives Matter.


BLM is a  very large ideological umbrella, and plenty of other left-wing groups are jockeying for space beneath it, some of them highly toxic.

The Jerusalem Post on Sunday worried about anti-Semitic and anti-Israel forces climbing aboard the BLM train, making an effort to “hijack the civil rights discourse and portray Israel as a ‘settler’ state linked to ‘white supremacy.’”


“That hostility is clear when voices such as Marc Lamonte Hill retweet a Ben and Jerry’s tweet supporting the protests with the comment ‘we dealing with justice in illegal settlements too or nah?’” the Jerusalem Post noted, neatly bringing together the issues of unreflective corporate support for BLM and the effort to hook other ideologies to its runaway populist locomotive.

More humorously, Yahoo News on Sunday found all sorts of Internet “influencers” trying to hitch their wagons to BLM, only to be rebuffed by activists furious at them for trivializing the movement or hijacking its themes for selfish purposes. The line between welcome support and unacceptable exploitation of the movement is blurry.

Vegan restaurants are praised for donating money to BLM, for example, while a vegan influencer who endorsed BLM because it’s fighting “the same fight” as crusaders against cruelty to animals was forcefully told to keep her deep thoughts to herself. 

White social media celebrities are taking some heat for trying to insert themselves into the Black Lives Matter movement, often in ways that trivialize the issues and make the protests seem like giant block parties.



What does “Black Lives Matter” really mean? What agenda are people supporting with their black boxes, tweets, Facebook posts, and financial donations? In this turbulent moment, the movement is having trouble even defining what “Defund the Police” really means, perhaps sensing that the position is so unpopular that it must be hastily redefined as “reform the police, details to come later.”

Some BLM leaders insist they are primarily interested in sensible community policing reforms, while others think New York Governor Andrew Cuomo doesn’t swing far enough to the Left.



It seems remarkable that a group with so little discipline, so much confusion over its agenda, and so much money at its disposal would be allowed to effectively demand compulsory support from the entire American public and corporate and political class, without any deep media investigation of its finances, leadership, or agenda.

Many of BLM’s donors are signing on to a new social contract with a great deal of fine print they should read more carefully.

{Dabo Sweeny, Clemson university football coach, has signed on to the BLM social contract and NOT read the fine print as he told he students to do. He has assured himself that he will continue to be ENSCONCED in his position as the head football coach at Clemson University.}


The donate button at the BLM website does take you to actblue, the Democrat fundraising platform website.

BLM is a corporation that raises money for the radical left and its radical agenda.

Have you donated Dabo?


Taking a knee to BLM has monetary benefits both to coporations and individuals.

THIS IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE take a knee and are supporting the BLM corporate slogan, black lives matter.

Its always true, just follow the money.

The BLM medusa is enticing you to join the BLM corporation and donate.

Looking into the BLM medusa's eyes will not turn you to stone but will cause you to take a knee to their corporate fundraising events now in progress around the country and the world.

The BLM fine print like most corporation and contract fine print has information that you probably don't take the time to read.

You just respond to the sales pitch most of the time.

Before investing in the BLM corporation by taking a knee to their stated agenda's read the fine print and know what you are getting into.

BLM should have a disclaimer like you hear on tv and the radio.


BLM corporate wants you to curtail/cutoff free speach if its not according to the false narrative.

On the blm website that ask you to do this:

We need to see what you see. Black Lives Matter is a central target of disinformation and you are a key line of defense. Report suspicious sites, stories, ads, social accounts, and posts about BLM.

The blm fundraiser radical left website wants to target you as an individual or a corporation if you disagree or refute the BLM slogan, "black lives matter', or expose their radical agenda of destruction and deceit.

This is another tactic of the socialists marxists to defend their lies by making you a targent of their radical agenda if you disagree with their radical agenda!

A suspicious story, website or posts about blm makes you and me a target of their radical agenda.




Editor Note



"Black lives matter" is nothing more than a corporate slogan used to raise money for social change of radical socialist/marxists groups.

BLM protests are used as a ploy to raise BLM corporate money that is used to fund other radical groups etc.


If you are in a BLM protest you are actually being used in a BLM fundraiser for other radical groups.

Thats right, "black lives matter" is just a slogan used for BLM corporate fundraisers called "black lives matter" protests.


Jessie Jackson, remember him, was a shakedown artist.

BLM has learned well from Jessie Jackson's fundraiser tactics and lean on corporations for money just like Jessie Jackson did using race baiting etc.



Jesse Jackson's shakedown methods




"Jesse virtually invented black racism," the Rev. Johnny Hunter, a black pastor from Virginia Beach, tells me. The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a black conservative, calls Jackson a "gatekeeper of black progress" and a "race hustler" who has cashed in on white guilt to fund an opulent lifestyle and a personal power base. "He is really just a David Duke in black skin," Peterson says.

On the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday in 2000, Peterson convened the first National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson, which he announced would be "an annual event until Jackson repents or retires." This repudiation of Jackson by black community and church leaders came almost a full year before Jackson's public admission that he had fathered a "love child" with an employee.



Booker T Washington described Jessie Jackson and BLM perfectly.



As if foreseeing Jackson, Booker T. Washington warned two generations earlier against "problem profiteers" within the black community:

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.

Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.

Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."

{Today the problem profiteers are actually corporations that are being extorted by the corporate slogan of BLM, "black lives matter".

They are paying retributions in the form of "donations" to the corporation BLM.

Corporations are paying "retributions" ie donations to BLM and AT THE SAME TIME profiting from the BLM advertising agency by promoting the BLM corporate slogan and increasing their profits!}


Anyone who gets in their way will pay the price including being fired from their job if not taking a knee to individual corporate mandates which include support of the BLM slogan, "black lives matter".


In Review:


BLM is a corporation advertising agency that has ongoing "fundraisers" in the form of protests that construct the facade of racial bias and injustice to raise money for themselves and other radical groups that seek to overthrow the Government, ie the democratic party and deep state.

BLM has a catchy logo, "black lives matter", that induces massive protests and money donated to the BLM advertising agency.


BLM corporation and other corporations in America are in bed with each other.


Its a kind of political "whore house" run by BLM and the democratic party.


Black lives don't matter to the BLM advertising agency only fundraising does.

Blacks/whites corporations etc are being used as pawns to raise funds for BLM.


READ THE FINE PRINT before you join into a BLM advertising protest fundraiser!


Individual Black Lives Matter but the group called "black lives matter" is telling you lies about  individual black lives.


badgewize    Explains why the officer was justified in shooting Brooks.   The fine print.

A group name that sounds good but is a total facade and has no meaning to the actual words.




The head of a New York state police union has hit out at both lawmakers and the media for treating the police like “animals and thugs”, and vilifying the profession.







I agree with you Sir.  The majority of police due their duty correctly.

Police deal with both black and white crime.

It is a fact in 2016 that black committed 4 times more crimes than whites even though they are about 15 % of the population.

More crime is committed by blacks than whites, 4 times more.

Its NOT because the police target blacks, its because blacks commit more crimes!

THE MEDIA AND "BLACK LIVES MATTER" ARE TELLING YOU A LIE!!!!

Because of this there are more black arrests.

Because of this there are more murders of blacks but NOT by police!

In 2019 4 blacks were killed by police.  Four blacks.


These 4 black victims were exploited by the media as victims of the police.

There was little mention of black on black or white on white crime.


Thousands of murders were committed by blacks and whites.

Thousands were prevented by the police.

This was rarely mentioned by the press.

Many black on black murders.  Many white on white murders.



2016 Crime In The United States




Crime In The United States 2019 Homicide


Race of victim 2019
Black or African American   2,925                 Race of offender  (Black)  2,600







Race of victim 2019

White   3,315                         Race of offender  (White)  2,677



Police to day have been tainted by the cesspool news media and labeled as offenders by the radical group which calls itself "black lives matter".


George Floyd appeared to be murdered by a cop.

Every cop in the United States is NOT to blame for this man's actions.

The FAKE news media and "black lives matter" wants you to belive a LIE!


Its similar to when some black and white people say I have "white privilege" a racist term.

I was born white without any privilege or title bestowed upon me at birth.

In the last few years the FAKE news media and racist groups have tried to label me as having white privilege just because I was born a white man.

The FAKE narrative that all whites are automatically racist and an have been bestowed at birth with certain privileges just because of race is not true.

Every white person in American is NOT to blame for George Floyd's murder.

Only the cop that murdered him and those cops that should have made the cop take his knee off of floyd's neck.


If you join an antifa or "black lives matter" rally, you are telling everyone that cops all cops and all white people are to blame for george floyd's death which is a LIE!!!


People want to make a statement about the injustice of george floyd's death.

People are making a grave mistake joining forces with the radical group "black lives matter" or antifa to protest an unjust death of a black man.


By joing these groups you are perpetuating a media lie that all cops are bad cops and all whites must pay a price for  crime they did not commit.


Radical violent socialist groups have recruited you in their efforts to overthrow the United States.


If you have given lip service and marched in a "black lives matter" they have coopted you for their own use.

Many are not aware that their association with "black lives matter" is an association in name only that is empty and void of an agenda to make black lives matter.

This radical group is only using you to further their socialist agenda through deception and violent means.

Dabo Sweeny, coach of clemson university has been coopted as have many others by media pressure and deceptive means.

Dabo Sweeny I am sure dosen't think of himself as a radical but probably a person who wanted to make a statement that black lives do matter.

What he is NOT aware of is that he is a recruiter for "black lives matter" in their quest to overthrow America.

He thinks he is a role model for his students.

He like so many others have recently taken a knee to the idol that was constructed by the news media.

The idol of hate.

Hate for cops and America in general.

Along with clemson trophies for football championships there is a new "trophy" dabo has acquired.

It is the trophy of HATE based on media and radical socialist groups.

This trophy was awarded to dabo sweeny by the news media and "black lives matter" for his compromise when confronted with the need to show respect and understanding for george floyd's murder.

He as others that take this route will often be given a free racial pass.

A media racial pass that will allow dabo to continue to "train" more recruits for his adoped radical socialist group, "black lives matter".

A group name that sounds good but is a total facade and has no meaning to the actual words.



__________________________________________









Police Chief Edward Flynn has had enough. Recently, the chief of Milwaukee’s law enforcement agency came under attack by black activists. The activists accused Flynn of not taking a recent officer-involved shooting seriously.
 
That shooting ended with a black man named Donte Hamilton dead. The officer was defending himself from a potentially deadly attack by the deranged Hamilton, who had taken a police baton and violently assaulted the responding officer. As in Ferguson, groups very quickly accused white officers of being racist and of targeting blacks for no reason.

At a police commission meeting related to that shooting, protesters began disrupting the group and shouting anti-police phrases at officers. They also singled out Chief Flynn as being uncaring and mocked him for being on his cell phone during part of the meeting. There was only one problem: Flynn was actually on his phone being notified about a drive-by shooting that was carried out by a black gang, which took the life of a 5-year-old girl.

When a reporter outside the meeting brought up the phone call as a way to belittle Chief Flynn, he took it personally — and unleashed a verbal thrashing on the gathered crowd. “I was on my phone, that’s true,” Flynn began. “I was following developments with a 5-year-old little girl, sitting on her dad’s lap who just got shot in the head by a drive by shooting.” Then his demeanor changed, and Flynn appeared visibly upset by the words he had just spoken. “If some of the people here gave a good ******* about the victimization of people in this community by crime, I’d take some of their invective more seriously.”

Then Flynn turned his righteous anger toward the race baiters, who were trying to use every event a to call white officers racist. “The greatest racial disparity in the city of Milwaukee is getting shot and killed, hello!

80 percent of my homicide victims every year are African American.

80 percent of our aggravated assault victims are African American.” He tore into the the people trying to use a police-involved shooting to push an agenda, instead of facing the real crime that is happening all around them.

“Now, they know all about the last three people that have been killed by the Milwaukee police department over the course of the last several years,” the upset Flynn stated. “There’s not one of them, can name one of the last three homicide victims we’ve had in this city.”

He continued: “This city is at risk all right — but it’s not because men and women in blue risk their lives protecting it.”

The veteran officer then tried to calm himself before finishing up with one final point. “We’re going up there, and there’s a bunch of cops processing the scene of a dead kid. And they’re the ones that are gonna be out there patrolling and stopping suspects that might have guns under the front seat.

They’re the ones that are gonna take the risk to their lives, to try to clean this thing up.”

The video is a moving reminder that it is easy to criticize the police — but the reality is, they are the ones who face crime and violence on a daily basis, so that others don’t have to.

It is refreshing to see this kind of brutal honesty about the black-on-black gang crime that is destroying cities… and to be reminded about who actually has to deal with it.

 
 
Editor Note
 
 
Since this FAKE news manufactured race crisis has been going on my respect for police officers has increased.
 
They are having to deal with a motley crew of different people who seem hell bent on stopping them from doing their job of protecting people from crime and violence.
 
IF I WAS YOU I WOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE JOINING ANY PROTEST CROWD DURING THISE TIMES OF DECEIT.
 
 
If you live in a city where the police are not allowed by the city government to protect you and your property, you must protect yourself.
 
If you live in a city where the police will protect you, you still need to protect yourself but NOT from the police but from criminals who are in groups like "black lives matter" etc.
 
 
GOD Bless the police and may GOD protect us from those who would do them harm along with others who DO NOT SUPPORT groups like, "black lives matter" who stated goal is to kill police and destroy America.
 
 
Don't bow down and take a knee to the idol the FAKE news media has created.
 
 
There was an idol the greeks worshipped.
 
They called it the unknown god.
 
 
Acts  17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
 
 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

17:33 So Paul departed from among them.

17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.


______________________________________________
 
 
 
The Greeks did not worship the true God and Lord of all Jesus Christ.
 
 
 
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.



Today the media has created an idol of man's device in the form of an "unknown god".

The greeks worshiped many idols. 

Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image, being a physical image, such as a statue, or a person in place of God.
 
A cult image in the form of George Floyd has been constructed to be "worshipped" by taking a knee to "black lives matters" in the name of George Floyd.
 
To many george floyd and his murder have become a symbol of the "unknown god" like the greeks worshiped in ignorance.
 
If you take a physical knee or join a group that is in effect worshipping  a media constructed idol you are practicing idolatry either in ignorance or on purpose.


Don't bow down like dabo sweeny and others to an "unknown god" like the greeks did.
 


Don't worship george floyd's death by joining radical hate groups.
 
 

Pray for peace and justice for all.

Pray for the police.
 
Pray for our nation.
 
Pray for yourself and others.
 
Pray that the forces of evil will not prevail and justice will be done.
 
Amen

The nation of CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) in what used to be Seattle was set up by antifa earlier this week.







Top area light blue - Houses along olive offering food and bathroom access to protesters and those marching.

Far right in red - Regime occupied safeway  (Police hold up here.)

Big light green area - "Capital Hill Free Zone" - Protester occupied Seattle

Blue area inside light green area - Captured Regime East Precinct - (abandoned police station where doors were left unlocked.


The activists have barricaded the streets and will not let any journalists or city officials inside their declared zone of control. The region expands across six or seven blocks as outlined by the occupying groups.

The designated zone is located in the city’s Capitol Hill district and surrounds the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct.

Police opened the area to protesters on Monday after previously closing the streets following violent demonstrations that took place following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

 UPDATES HERE


The nation of CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) in what used to be Seattle was set up by antifa earlier this week.


Seattle’s Autonomous Zone Has Its First Warlord; Local Rapper Raz Simone Takes Over


CHAZ has its first self declared dictator/warlord. Seattle based rapper Raz Simone evidently deputized himself and his crew, and they are patrolling the streets, regulating any unauthorized activity in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.

Raz Simone, a Seattle local, stated he belongs to the “People’s Force,” a replacement for Seattle PD in #FreeCapitolHill. On June 8th in a live video he advised that unfamiliar faces should be stopped, questioned, and checked to see if they’re armed, similar to “Stop and Frisk.”

A Seattle local named Raz Simone established himself and his crew as the police of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. He's a warlord, and his crew is assaulting anyone who steps out of line.

Unlike real police, there's no accountability or discipline. It's just violence.

Note that they even announce themselves as “the police of the community now”

And we’re already seeing the party degenerate into absolute chaos, as apparently Simone is a misogynist:

So basically they’ve declared themselves to be the authority, and they operate with impunity, as they go around assaulting whomever they deem to be breaking laws that don’t exist.

Several hundred demonstrators, led by Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant, occupied City Hall downtown Tuesday night for just over an hour, calling for the resignation of Mayor Jenny Durkan and the defunding of the Seattle Police Department after a march from the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.

Protesters entered chanting “Whose City Hall? Our City Hall” before listening to a number of speakers at the “people’s mic,” as Sawant called it, on a range of issues, from the importance of Black LGBTQIA+ women in recent protests to taxing the council member’s familiar foe.


“It is about building the kind of political representation that brings the voice of the people into the halls of power and grabs power for ordinary people,” Sawant said. Starting Wednesday, “the City Council is going to be discussing budget issues, meaning two very important demands for us: Defund SPD and Tax Amazon.”

Many protesters also stayed behind to maintain a presence in the zone around 12th and Pine. Others spoke out saying the community, not politicians, should drive decisions around the camp growing outside the large police precinct emptied of equipment and boarded with plywood. So far, the boards have remained in place.




EDITOR NOTE




John McCain is held hostage by a gangster and forced to wear a sign in the heart of Harlem. Just as well could have been Seattle.

McCain was a policeman caught up in a scheme to rob a bank of millions by a radical group of terrorists.

He was a pawn in a game controlled by thugs.

McCain was forced to play a role or die.  -  {Many today are also being forced to play roles by the FAKE news media without their knowledge.}


He knew that standing out in the street in the middle of harlem new york, just as well could have been seattle, with a sign that would incite some to violence out of ignorance would be very dangerous.

He had no choice.

John McCain was rescued by a black man named Zeus who would not allow the gang members to kill him just because he was wearing a sandwich sign that looked like a double sided protest sign.

He was not friend of Zeus but they later became friends after a series of events where they learned to work together against a terrorist organization that wanted to kill them and other citizens in new york.

The terrorist organizations could have been antifa or the so called "black lives matter" radical groups of today.

Its interesting what happens when terrorists are confronted with a weapon and the threat of violence to protect property and lives.

Because most of them are cowards they will back down when they see you mean business about protecting your property or life with a weapon of defense, a gun or rifle.

Yes I know it was just a movie.

It could be used as a modern day teaching tool because of its story line of a black man and a white man working together to survive in a manufactured crisis.

In fact there are thousands of people like mcClain and Zeus who have worked together to prevent violence and save lives.

They are found everywhere including police departments etc.

A cop and a civilian working together for blacks and white.

Lives matter, all lives matter including black lives.

The radical group with the name, "black lives matter" would have you think that's what they believe when in fact they are just using this phrase to make people think that their goal is to protect black lives.

Their goal is to produce a facade of pretending to help black people just like the facade of the democrate party for the last 100 years.

Their protest signs speak of violence against police and reasons to cause violence.

They are NOT peaceful protesters but want you to believe they are.

Their real goal is to destroy American through deception and violence.

Black lives of course do matter as do white lives etc.

We all know black lives matter.

We are being told by the groups name, "black lives matter" that black lives have not mattered.

Its not that black lives have never mattered  or that they don't matter.

The truth is black lives do matter but to the group called "black lives matter" its just a phrase to be used to further a radical agenda of destruction in the name of blacks.



There are unsung heroes, who unlike people who support antifa and the so called "black lives matter" radical groups, that make a difference when called upon to protect innocent lives.





The Harlem gangsters were a gang of African-American teenagers and young men who resided in Harlem, New York City. They were an important part in the beginning of The Movie Die Hard with a Vengence.

The sign John McCain is wearing was changed to something else by me to make a statement.

This sign would incite some today in groups like antifa and "black lives matter" to violence.

The sign is just a picture of President Trump making a fist.


The gang members were nearby when John McClain was forced to wear a  sandwich board. Most of them were sitting on the steps, listening to their tunes while another was playing basketball. When they saw McClane wearing a  sign, they were outraged and wanted to kill him.

One of the members asked Zeus Carver if he was a friend of his, to which he replied, "He look like a friend of mine?" McClane lied that he came from an insane hospital and has been taking pills which made him wear the sign. Then one of the gang members grabbed a knife and threw it at the sign.

Then McClane stated three times that he had a very bad headache, but one of the gangsters grew tired of McClane talking, and to shut him up, punches him in the face. Then another one threw a basketball on his head. The lead gangster pointed the knife at McClane's chin, cut the sign off, and another member started throwing a glass bottle on his head. Zeus saw a revolver  stuck to McClane's back, and aimed it at them to tell them to stop what they are doing.

Zeus, a black store owner, helped John escape via taxi and survive.
