Things Falling Apart: BAD SIGNS

The claim of the FBI was that the blacks had been backed by communists...

True, the fear of Communism has run deep within the Republican Party since the 1930's at least, right up to the present.

..... but it's not totally unfounded as the old Black Power, new BLM movement is based on/influenced by the philosophy of Black Nationalism (American), Pan-Africanism (worldwide) and Socialism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_nationalism

Black Nationalism: Black nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that black people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a black racial and national identity.[1] Black nationalist activism revolves around social, political, and economic empowerment of black communities and people, especially to resist assimilation into white culture (through integration or otherwise) and maintain a distinct black identity.[1]

Black nationalism arose within the African-American community in the United States. In the early 20th century, the Garveyism promoted by the U.S.-based Marcus Garvey furthered black nationalist ideas. Black nationalist ideas also proved an influence on the Black Islam movement, particularly groups like the Nation of Islam founded by Elijah Muhammad. During the 1960s, Black nationalism influenced the Black Panther Party and the broader Black Power movement.....

Pan-Africanism: Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. Based on a common goal dating back to the Atlantic slave trade, the movement extends beyond continental Africans with a substantial support base among the African diaspora in the Americas and Europe.[1][2]

Pan-Africanism can be said to have its origins in the struggles of the African people against enslavement and colonization[3] and this struggle may be traced back to the first resistance on slave ships—rebellions and suicides—through the constant plantation and colonial uprisings and the "Back to Africa" movements of the 19th century. Based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent.[4]

At its core, pan-Africanism is a belief that "African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny".[5] Pan-Africanist intellectual, cultural and political movements tend to view all Africans and descendants of Africans as belonging to a single "race" and sharing cultural unity. Pan-Africanism posits a sense of a shared historical fate for Africans in America, West Indies and on the continent itself centered on the Atlantic trade in slaves, African slavery and European imperialism.[6]

Socialism: Socialism is a political, social, and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership[1][2][3] of the means of production[4][5][6][7] and workers' self-management of enterprises.[8][9] It includes the political theories and movements associated with such systems.[10] Social ownership can be public, collective, cooperative or of equity.[11] While no single definition encapsulates many types of socialism,[12] social ownership is the one common element.[1][13][14].......

Socialist politics has been both internationalist and nationalist in orientation; organised through political parties and opposed to party politics; at times overlapping with trade unions and at other times independent and critical of them; and present in both industrialised and developing nations.[32] Social democracy originated within the socialist movement,[33] supporting economic and social interventions to promote social justice.[34][35] While retaining socialism as a long-term goal.....

The socialist political movement includes a set of political philosophies that originated in the revolutionary movements of the mid-to-late 18th century and out of concern for the social problems that were associated with capitalism.[12]


....... to me this stuff is disturbingly familiar, smells just like the philosophy of White Supremacy only in reverse and can be used to justify the same abuses in the future.....:tiphat:

No need to worry about a Revolution, that won't be happening, it's a luxury we won't be able to afford, the issue of racism will drop to the bottom of the list of current concerns.:grouphug:

With the coming worldwide depression we'll all be at each others throats over a crust of bread.

..... and it will be the job of whichever government that's in charge to solve the problem, something to think about when you cast your ballot.:whistling:

Meanwhile, another Bad Sign the whole world's going straight to hell!:

Saudi Arabia Turns Off America’s Oil Taps Again

The strategy worked wonders in 2017. It will be more challenging this time around unless the pandemic eases its grip on oil demand.


It has been suggested that the fall of the British empire was due to an inability to manage a transition from coal to oil.
Find myself wondering if we are not in the same today.
It has been offered that we do not have an ability to adapt quickly enough.

do you like the first amendment and agree that it ought to be upheld?

Who cares? He’s not a US citizen, just an armchair ‘analyst’ who likes his opinions the way they are. My opinions of the UK monarchy are just as relevant as his on our constitution.

In plain English, the US screwed Britain royally in the mid-East, or ARAMCO would never have existed

I find myself wondering if the bureaucracy in the UK was such that it kept them from responding in an appropriate manner.
Are we repeating the same now ?

Let's all take a minute to let your comment hang there.






Okay.

Tr*mp is a sitting impeached president.

Impeached for violating the constitution.

The other documented occasions of Tr*mp's violations of the
constitution are numerous, F*x N*ws just doesn't report it,
so lots of folks don't know about them, lol.

There will be no war, Americans are too fat, stupid and lazy,
easily distracted by shiny things.

You believe a war over constitutional rights is even a thing folks
would dive into at this point.

We simply don't care.

Although, I must say, that no other human so richly deserves
the presidency that Tr*mp has created for himself.

He's like Jesus, just dumber and fatter, and holds the Bible upside down.

lol

absolutely
However..... you american's have the right to "peaceful assembly and protest"..... trashing cities, assaulting fellow citizens and purposefully and violently clashing with law enforcement is most certainly not afforded by the 1st ammendment.
The whole world is watching and most folks aren't as dumb and blind as the demoncrats that they can't see what is going on.
It is the Balkanization of North America. It's happening here in Canukistan too with our lefty criminal prime minister and his party of cancel culture china loving commies. It's hard to tell if the canadian Liberals are marxist or communist or maybe a blend of both.
Bottom line is folks need to open thier eyes , get off the CNN koolaid and realize that north america is the best place in the world to live, work and raise a family..... bar none. All of that is under attack and so many people have this blind hate for trump that has enable the left to convince them that 2+2=5..... having no idea who the real enemy is.
go have a read thru this..... Yuri Bezmenov- The Four Stages of Subversion
it may be too late.... but people better wake up quick LOL

let it be known.... I think trump is an idiot but of all the fools running for office he has to be the safest bet LOL

we're having a moment in America, not all that unusual
in general the levels of human violence have dropped over time
long ways to go to equal Vietnam years
and the draft riots during the Civil War? forget about it, way deadlier
screams on the Internet beat screams on the streets

The worst *possible* sign is an Executive who insists on RULING...does it badly...relies on ignorance, decree, and brainwashing...and an entire major political party that’s *just FINE* with it.

The next sign will be the fait accompli...then it’ll be too late to figure out that we’ve been had

you do know that not all protests are riots? not all protests dive into chaos?

how about the one at lafayette square, all of the eyewitness accounts and video footage show peaceful protests shat upon by federal fascism for a church photo?

did we forget that first amendment clause about not establishing a religion? the courts agree that it extends to the gubment as a whole, and yet ag barr and trump (and now the supreme court) love making sure the irreligious eat their superstitions.

so much for that constitution...

also nice try, just because i'd rather live here in the u.s. than in egypt, indonesia, or saudi arabia doesn't mean i don't want improvement.

It's the cycle of life. Birth, death, re-birth, the Mongol empire perished, the Roman empire perished, the British empire perished, the American empire is crumbling now. Trump and the reaction to him from the left are simply symptoms of this decline, not the start of it. The survivors in the world will see opportunity in this, not negativity, I mean look at China they've got the US by the balls and 99% of America would never have seen it coming. What do I know though, I only live in a country that treats social issues as such and doesn't politicize them, meaning we have no issues with corona virus or homelessness.


We were all born under a bad sign, doesn't mean we can't enjoy the music...

Broke a tooth.

Don't have the money to fix it.

Guess I will live with exquisite pain.

That seems like a bad sign, it definitely counts as things falling apart.

Inside look at Lincoln Park Binny's after looting

[YOUTUBEIF]nUOb1-eThV0[/YOUTUBEIF]

going on to the 3 month mark and places have now been looted multiple times. i wonder if those job creating businesses will, re invest for the third time? or have they been sufficiently punished?

you could have had a real moment of national unity and change for the better. instead you are heading towards the biggest backlash you ever seen. wait till the silent majority starts to really speak.

no one wants to go back in time to where your skin color, or your sex, mattered more then what your experiences have been as an individual human being..

btw it doesnt even matter if its really blm/antifa or if its the feds, its working. the picture is emerging more and more that the protests are totally infiltrated by violent extremists.

just by not speaking out loudly and forcefuly against the protests devolving in to riots and looting, they are declaring their support for said actions.

every day, Jack Dorsey's "shitter", is full of new videos of peaceful protesters acting like rioting thugs. they come to the marches with body armour, helmets respirators and handy lengths of wood for "bashing the fascists". ie. anyone that doesn't agree with their message and specially the pigs.

unless they really are trying to start a revolution they are just ruinning the reputation of the cause.

Interesting fact. Kim Foxx, the Chicago prosecutor, has declined to prosecute 25 000 felonies. I wonder how many of those alleged felons were looting lastnight.
