Leaders of the Black Lives Matter organization, along with members of the left-wing “anti-fascist” coalition known as antifa, are responsible for sending the nation “up in flames,” a top conservative member of Congress said Tuesday. And in order to unify the country after weeks of civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, whose neck…
Can leftists and conservatives of our modern era peacefully coexist within the same society?
If someone asked me this question only ten years ago I would have said "Sure, it’s possible".
Today, the answer is a resounding "No way".
The political divide has become so vast that there is simply no chance for the two sides to reconcile or come to reasonable terms, and make no mistake, this is not a two-sided disaster; the majority of the damage is being done by one side of this equation.
Back in 2016 I wrote numerous articles discussing the issues and dangers of the political divide that was developing within the US, and many of these articles focused on who actually benefits. In my article ‘Order Out Of Chaos: The Defeat Of The Left Comes With A Cost’ I stated:
“When I mentioned in my last article the crippling of social justice, I did not mention that this could have some negative reverberations. With Trump and conservatives taking near-total power after the Left had assumed they would never lose again, their reaction has been to transform. They are stepping away from the normal activities and mindset of cultural Marxism and evolving into full blown communists. Instead of admitting that their ideology is a failure in every respect, they are doubling down.
When this evolution is complete, the Left WILL resort to direct violent action on a larger scale, and they will do so with a clear conscience because, in their minds, they are fighting fascism. Ironically, it will be this behavior by leftists that may actually push conservatives towards a fascist model. Conservatives might decide to fight crazy with more crazy.”
The transformation I described in 2016 is now happening in 2020. The left is going full communist, with a little help of course. Currently, the Cultural Marxists are seeking to clean house within their own ranks. They are terrorizing long time Democrats and "allies" of the movement into subscribing to ALL the tenets of the new social justice religion. No deviation is allowed; all progressives must declare fealty and signal their virtue and submission or they are systematically targeted and destroyed. It is essentially coercion by cancel culture.
After this phase is over and they have organized the political left into an army of mindless drones, they will fully turn their attention to conservatives.
To be clear, social justice movements are not the primary threat, they are merely a symptom of the disease – A cancer called "globalism". These people are being used as a weapon of expediency, nothing more. There is an open and admitted organized effort on the part of a tiny minority of power brokers and money elites in our society that seek to manipulate the public into accepting the notion of total centralization and the end of personal liberty and national sovereignty in the name of an arbitrary “greater good”. This is not “conspiracy theory”, this is conspiracy fact.
As Richard N. Gardner, former deputy assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations under Kennedy and Johnson, and a member of the Trilateral Commission, wrote in the April, 1974 issue of the Council on Foreign Relation’s (CFR) journal Foreign Affairs (pg. 558) in an article titled ‘Hard Road To World Order’:
“In short, the ‘house of world order’ will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion,’ to use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.”
It is my view, according to the evidence, that the social justice left is a cultivated threat, a product of the gatekeepers of Cultural Marxism that has been gestated over decades to the stage we now see today – a mass movement of useful idiots, insane narcissists and sociopaths obsessed with identity politics and the destruction of the “old world”.
It was globalist institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation that funded different elements of the feminist movement and “gender studies” movements from the late 1960’s onward. This included the Rockefeller Foundation’s large donations to ‘The Feminist Press’ and the Ford Foundation’s programs to indoctrinate teachers into injecting social justice talking points into their curriculum. This is openly admitted in Alison R. Bernstein’s book ‘Funding The Future: Philanthropy’s Influence On America’s Higher Education’. Bernstein is the vice president of Education at the Ford Foundation and the former Associate Dean of Faculty at Princeton.
That’s right folks, social justice activism was paid for and encouraged by the so-called “patriarchy”. This is the reality, and it never stopped. Even today SJW groups are funded by globalists.
For example, as the mainstream media often tries to dismiss or ignore, Black Lives Matter was initially funded by the Ford Foundation and George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. BLM coffers were flooded with over $100 million from uber rich white elites. Again, this is a FACT that even the dishonest spin doctors at Snopes were not able to deny. Instead, they attempt to use strawman arguments and sophistry to distract from the implication of extreme-left mobs receiving seed money from elitist billionaires.
As noted, the political left is being weaponized, but to what end? To understand the end game we have to understand the concept of the Hegelian Dialectic and "problem – reaction – solution".
If there is one behavior that stands out above all others as a defining trait of the social justice left, in my opinion it is their obsession with exploiting tragedy and crisis for their own personal and political gain. The George Floyd incident, a terrible event to be sure, should have been held up as a prime example of police abuse, yet it was immediately twisted by BLM into an issue of “systemic racism”. There is no proof of systemic racism. There’s not even any proof that George Floyd was killed because he was black.
Police abuse is something which concerns every American equally, not just black Americans. But the BLM has obscured the real issue of police accountability and made it about the delusion of "white supremacy" and an attack on basically every element of American heritage and tradition. This will alienate millions of Americans who would have otherwise agreed to certain points and arguments. The narrative was hijacked by the political left and they reveled in the death of George Floyd as a means to push numerous unrelated agendas forward as quickly as possible.
These agendas include a vast array of censorship in social media and the firestorm of cancel culture, threatening anyone who does not agree with the prevailing leftist narrative. People are losing their platforms, their jobs, and their reputations are being dragged through the mud, and the mainstream media is helping to make this happen.
Now, as a true conservative, I respect the boundaries of private property, and to be sure, a website is indeed private property. A social media company has the right to remove people and content they don’t like, just as any person has the right to remove someone they don’t like from their home. That said, there are some exceptions to this.
For example, when a company has a monopoly over a certain means of communication, then censorship becomes a legal and moral problem and that company must be either limited or broken up. Monopolies are not natural functions of a free market, they are attempts by elites to subvert free markets. Corporations in general receive their charters from government, along with the protections of limited liability and corporate personhood. They are not a natural part of the economy, they are aberrations created by government. They are children of socialism, not "capitalism".
If we are to solve the current problem in the long term, corporations must either be regulated or abolished and replaced with classical limited partnerships. Joint stock companies, as corporation used to be called, were never intended to become permanent power structures within free market societies, and now we are witnessing why.
That said, the danger of monopolies does not only extend to corporations. There can also be such a thing as a political or ideological monopoly as well. When a particular minority of ideologues take over a vast majority of mass communication outlets and actively seeks to squeeze out any dissenting voices so that only one point of view is presented to the public, what else do we call this but a monopoly?
I see where the cancel culture is going and it is quickly going to a very ugly place. While google’s removal of ad revenue from conservative websites like Zero Hedge is a legal grey area, the attacks will eventually go far beyond monetization. One day soon, I predict there will be an attempt to influence website host providers to remove “offending” sites altogether. One might argue that handing government the power to nationalize the internet would help to protect free speech, but I doubt that. Government is run by the same ghouls that are funding the social justice cult. Why should we trust them to police the web fairly?
The political left is not only asserting control over speech on the web, but also pushing restrictions in major population centers (to be fair, Trump and his cabinet of elites including Anthony Fauci are also culpable in encouraging medical tyranny). If you lived in a major US city during the first pandemic lockdowns, then you have seen the extreme lengths politicians, mostly on the left, will go to to assert dominance.
Why are Americans in these cities being admonished from even going outside? You do know that viruses are far less communicable in open areas than indoors, right? No one catches a virus from jogging through a park or walking on a beach. Such rules seem like they stem from a severe ignorance of how viruses survive and function, but it’s not ignorance; it’s deliberate. These draconian rules are not about saving lives, they are about control, and many conservatives are fed up with it.
Add to this the fact that city governments like Seattle are actively encouraging civil unrest and rioting by Antifa and BLM, and something has to give.
The insanity of the left is triggering a balkanization of the US, but I’m not so sure this is a bad thing.
It is clear that SJWs cannot live with or get along with anyone who respects liberty or logic. They are a destructive force in society and they have no comprehension of the non-aggression principle. They believe that they have the right to enforce their ideology and beliefs on others. They infest every aspect of our culture with the sole intent of destroying what we have previously built so that our history can be erased and replaced. It is only natural that reasonable and free-thinking people would want to get as far away from them as possible.
There has been much talk in the mainstream lately about the growing exodus from major cities into suburban and rural areas is due to the pandemic. I disagree. In my own state of Montana, there has been a surge of new residents buying properties, and the word is the majority of them are conservatives trying to find like-minded people. They are trying to escape from the madness of the political left, they are not only concerned about the pandemic.
A great migration is coming, and it will be from leftist stronghold states like California, New York, Illinois, etc., as well as from major cities. People are going to seek out and move to places where their ideals and principles are respected or protected. There has not been a division like this in the US since perhaps the Civil War.
I’m not sure it’s avoidable, and even if it was I’m not sure it should be avoided. There is something to be said for conservatives and leftists balancing each other out in a community, but when one side becomes aggressive while also being protected, we have limited options. Conservatives are the primary pillar of support propping up these otherwise broken states and communities. Perhaps it’s time for producers and liberty advocates to seek out greener pastures and go where they are appreciated? And maybe it’s time for progressives and socialists in America to finally stand on their own and be allowed to fail.
The global elites have a different scenario in mind, I think. They certainly want a civil war, but one that they can mold and control on both sides. They are using the left to strike fear into the minds of conservatives and they want us to demand government action as the solution. They want us to push the button on the Insurrection Act and to demand martial law. If we separate and establish conservative strongholds then the temptation to beg for government help will be diminished.
There will be numerous arguments made against this strategy – They will say the cities and high population states are economically essential and leaving will be financially disastrous for individuals. But, if producers are leaving in droves, then they can build an economy anywhere they please. It’s the leftists that need conservatives to feed off of their labor and production; conservatives don’t need leftists for anything. There will be others that claim that when we leave blue states and counties we are abandoning the fight and leaving those places to be completely taken over. I disagree with this mentality. By leaving and forming conservative communities and economies and businesses we are changing the landscape of the conflict. Instead of constantly contending with political obstruction we will be free to actually build something lasting.
This is what the establishment is afraid of; they do not want conservatives to become proactive. They want us to hide in our homes in fear and apathy waiting for someone else to save the day.
I realize that there is such a thing as the false left/right paradigm, but this paradigm applies to politicians and government. Politicians are only loyal to the establishment power structure, and that structure desires tyranny. Common people have differing social and political viewpoints, and this is natural. One would hope that ALL Americans regardless of their beliefs would still have a respect for the fundamentals of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. But when one side or the other becomes openly hostile to those principles and values of freedom, then they become my enemy and the enemy of any liberty minded person. We cannot live together, so, we must live apart. Otherwise, we will have to go to war until one side is removed from the equation.

When it comes to the Michael Flynn case the media, along with vast swaths of the pliant public, are like a stupid dog that reflexively chases a shiny object or a phantom squirrel. The latest development is that the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled 2 to 1 to order crooked Judge Emmet Sullivan to accede to the Department of Justice request to drop the case against Flynn. While this ruling merits attention, the real news is that we now have documentary evidence that President Obama and Vice President Biden were involved directly and personally in orchestrating the entrapment and prosecution of Michael Flynn.
A Peter Strzok note, apparently penned on the 4 January 2017, recorded the discussion about Flynn with Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Sally Yates, Jimmy Comey, Susan Rice and Strzok (it looks like Comey took him along specifically as his note taker). Here it is:
Sidney Powell’s brief (filed today with Sullivan’s Court) provides a nifty summary of what Strzok scribbled:
Strzok’s notes believed to be of January 4, 2017, reveal that former President Obama, James Comey, Sally Yates, Joe Biden, and apparently Susan Rice discussed the transcripts of Flynn’s calls and how to proceed against him. Mr. Obama himself directed that “the right people” investigate General Flynn. This caused former FBI Director Comey to acknowledge the obvious: General Flynn’s phone calls with Ambassador Kislyak “appear legit.” According to Strzok’s notes, it appears that Vice President Biden personally raised the idea of the Logan Act. That became an admitted pretext to investigate General Flynn.
So much for disparaging intelligent folk as “conspiracy theorists” for daring to declare that Obama and Biden played a direct and significant role in the plot to destroy the Trump Presidency before it was born. We have it in “black and white.”
Court-Appointed ‘Hit-Judge’ Scrambles To File Flynn Condemnation After Case Dropped Tyler Durden
Wed, 06/24/2020 – 10:12
Like a liquid-metal terminator with half its head blown apart, the case against Michael Flynn just won’t die.
Hours after the US Court of Appeals for DC ordered Judge Emmett Sullivan to grant the DOJ’s request to drop the case, the retired ‘resistance’ judge hired to defend Sullivan’s actions has filed a motion requesting an extension to file his findings against Flynn.
The D.C. Appeals Court today vacated the lawless appointment of a left-wing shadow prosecutor to go after Flynn.
Gleeson, the Resistance dead-ender hired by Sullivan, is ignoring the order and plowing ahead with his illegal inquisition against Flynn. https://t.co/bOeG7pRJxv
In a major victory for Michael Flynn, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has ordered Judge Emmet Sullivan to grant the Justice Department’s request to dismiss the case against the former Trump National Security Adviser.
"Upon consideration of the emergency petition for a writ of mandamus, the responses thereto, and the reply, the briefs of amici curiae in support of the parties, and the argument by counsel, it is ORDERED that Flynn’s petition for a writ of mandamus be granted in part; the District Court is directed to grant the government’s Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss; nd the District Court’s order appointing an amicus is hereby vacated as moot, in accordance with the opinion of the court filed herein this date," reads the order.
In their decision, the appeals court wrote: "Decisions to dismiss pending criminal charges – no less than decisions to initiate charges and to identify which charges to bring – lie squarely within the ken of prosecutorial discretion."
"The Judiciary’s role under Rule 48 is thus confined to "extremely limited circumstances in extraordinary cases.""
Hence, no dice for Judge Sullivan.
Great! Appeals Court Upholds Justice Departments Request To Drop Criminal Case Against General Michael Flynn!
Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his conversations with former Russian Ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, during the presidential transition following the 2016 US election. He later withdrew his plea after securing new legal counsel, while evidence emerged which revealed the FBI had laid a ‘perjury trap‘ – despite the fact that the agents who interviewed him in January, 2017 said they thought he was telling the truth. Agents persisted hunting Flynn despite the FBI’s recommendation to close the case.
Once the FBI’s malfeasance was uncovered, the Justice Department moved to dismiss the case after Attorney General William Barr tapped an outside prosecutor to examine the FBI’s conduct. Judge Sullivan rejected the DOJ’s request – instead calling on an outside lawyer to make arguments against the DOJ’s move to drop the case.
In their Wednesday decision, the Appeals court noted that "the government’s motion includes an extensive discussion of newly discovered evidence casting Flynn’s guilt into doubt."
Specifically, the government points to evidence that the FBI interview at which Flynn allegedly made false statements was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn." -US Court of Appeals
Shortly before the DOJ move to dismiss, former Mueller prosecutor Brandon Van Grack suddenlywithdrew from the case (and others). Flynn’s new attorney, Sidney Powell, said that government documents revealed "further evidence of misconduct by Mr. Van Grack specifically."
Sullivan urged the federal appeals court to also reject Flynn’s bid to bring an end to the case, which has now ruled against the judge.
The Justice Department released Peter Strzok notes from 1/4/2017 regarding the Flynn-Kislyak calls.
Last month it was revealed 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden was in a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting discussing General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak with Obama, Yates, Comey, Rice and Brennan.
Now we know that Obama and Biden were directly involved in the sham Flynn investigation.
Strzok’s newly released notes suggest a secret meeting before January 5th was the reason the Flynn investigation was not closed.
The Strzok notes show then-Vice President Joe Biden wanted to invoke the Logan Act against General Mike Flynn.
Strzok also noted that Obama DIRECTLY ordered an investigation into Flynn, saying “Have the right people on the case.”
Then-FBI Director James Comey said the calls between Flynn and Kislyak “appear legit” but they went ahead with the hit job against Flynn.
“Strzok’s notes believed to be of January 4, 2017, reveal that former President Obama, James Comey, Sally Yates, Joe Biden and apparently Susan Rice discussed the transcripts of Flynn’s calls and how to proceed against him.”
“Mr. Obama himself directed that “the right people” investigate General Flynn.”

Clinton friend, philanthropist, film financier and multi-millionaire, Steve Bing, 55, jumped from a Century City building on Monday and was found dead at the scene.
Steve Bing was a longtime friend of the Clintons.
According to reports, Mr. Bing donated up to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Both Clinton and Bing were in the past reported to be part of a billionaire clique that included Burkle and Jeffrey Epstein – reported LA Mag.
Steve Bing, the film financier and philanthropist who backed hit movies from Robert Zemeckis’ The Polar Express and Beowulf to the Rolling Stones concert movie Shine a Light, has died.
According to law enforcement sources, Bing jumped from a Century City building at around 1 p.m. Monday. Following standard protocol, the Los Angeles Police Department would not confirm that the individual in question was Bing. However, the description of the man in his 50s who was found dead on the scene fits that of the producer.
Bing, also an influential political donor, was a real estate tycoon from a family with a rich history. In 2012, he pledged a $30 million legacy gift to the Motion Picture & Television Fund.
Sources told TMZ that Steve Bing was depressed about “lack of human contact during quarantine.”
Actress Elizabeth Hurley tweeted that she was “devastated” over the death of Steve Bing, the father of her 18-year-old son.
“I’m saddened beyond belief that Steve is no longer with us. Our time together was very happy and although there were some tough times, the memories of a sweet, kind man are what matter. We became close again in the last year and last spoke on our son’s 18th. This is devastating news.” Elizabeth Hurley said.
Former president Bill Clinton released a statement on the death of his friend Steve Bing.
I loved Steve Bing very much. He had a big heart, and he was willing to do anything he could for the people and causes he believed in. I will miss him and his enthusiasm more than I can say, and I hope he’s finally found peace.
The comments under Bill Clinton’s tweet were interesting.

Brexit leader and veteran campaigner Nigel Farage has voiced his confidence in the election chances of President Trump in 2020, noting the unsavoury alternative of Joe Biden, who he characterised as a “puppet of this new radical left”.
Speaking in a short film released Monday on the eve of the fourth anniversary of his victory in the 2016 Brexit referendum, Nigel Farage voiced his confidence in President Trump’s ability to win this year’s election.
But perhaps more important than that, Mr Farage said, was the urgency of that win, given the arrival of an intense culture war in the United States and elsewhere against hard-left radicals known as Antifa, who the Brexit leader has previously characterised as using the veneer of the Black Lives Matter movement to further their own extremist goals.
Farage said of the coming election when addressing questions asked in the British press over why he had been in the United States over the weekend: “I am supporting President Trump all the way. I do actually think that without him, other Western leaders will not have the courage to face up to the radical left, to face up to the threat of the Chinese communist party.
“Certainly, I don’t see our Prime Minister standing up to any of these things. Just maybe, a re-elected Donald Trump can do it.”
On the alternative to a second-term President Trump, Mr Farage was clear. He said: “I still very much believe, whatever the polls say, that Trump can still do it.
“The idea of Biden becoming the leader of the free world — given he can barely string a sentence together! And given he would effectively be a puppet of this new radical left is just too much to contemplate.”
On the Tulsa rally, Mr Farage noted that in an age of coronavirus, lockdown, and empty offices, there are “lessons to learn… progress to make” on campaigning. Indeed, he remarked: “The rally itself in Tulsa was not a complete, huge, overwhelming success. It was the first rally of the campaign, difficult after months of offices not being full of people.”
Mr Farage said he had been tested for coronavirus both in the United States, and again upon his return to the United Kingdom and did not have the virus, allaying concern and criticism about his international travel. Mr Farage was able to fly to the U.S. on Saturday because the Department of Homeland Security said his entry “would be in the national interest”, reports said.
Politico reports Democrat House Homeland Security Committee chair Bennie Thompson wrote to the acting director of the Department to launch an investigation into the decision, stating it raised “troubling questions”.
A Pennsylvania man who had been wronged by police officers in the past saved a police officer from a burning cruiser after it crashed outside a Uniontown apartment.
Daylan McLee was at a Father’s Day cookout at an apartment complex when a relative came running inside to inform him that there was a car crash involving a police cruiser, KDKA reported.
McLee looked outside and saw that the officer was pinned to the ground by his cruiser following the crash.
“I don’t know what came across me, but I ripped the door open and just pulled him to safety across the street,” McLee said Monday.
Uniontown Police Lt. Thomas Kolencik said the department was thankful McLee was around when the crash happened.
“Daylan actually said, ‘I’m not going to let him die,’” Kolencik told WTAE. “There’s just no words to describe, you know.”
The officer was flown to a hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, for treatment.
Several of Officer Jay Hanley’s relatives thanked McLee over the phone and on social media, noting that Hanley was undergoing surgery to repair a serious leg injury suffered during the crash.
McLee, 31, said it was not a difficult decision for him to save the officer’s life despite his unjust run-ins with law enforcement because he believes “there is value in every human life.”
“No. There is value in every human life. We are all children of God and I can’t imagine just watching anyone burn,” he said. “No matter what other people have done to me, or other officers, I thought, ‘this guy deserves to make it home safely to his family.’”
But just because there is value in every human life does not mean that he did not seek out justice for a mistake the police made that cost him a year of his life behind bars.
The 31-year-old filed a lawsuit in late 2018 against four Pennsylvania state troopers for wrongful arrest after spending a year in jail related to a fight outside an American Legion bar in March 2016 in Dunbar.
McLee rushed to the bar to pick up his sister when a fight broke out. He wound up disarming a man standing in the parking lot with a gun and pushed the weapon aside. At least one trooper fired shots in McLee’s direction as he fled.
The trooper said McLee aimed the weapon at him twice, but surveillance footage showed McLee disarming the gunman, discarding the gun, and fleeing when shots were fired.
McLee, a black man with visible tattoos on his neck and arms and dreadlocks, spent one year behind bars before a jury acquitted him on the charges after reviewing the surveillance video.
Another incident with officers occurred several months ago when McLee ran from a porch gathering after plainclothes and vested officers with guns drawn approached him. He said the officers did not announce themselves as police at first, and he stopped running and placed his hands behind his head when they announced they were police.
McLee said the police charged him with fleeing and resisting arrest, and said that an officer kicked his face through a fence during that arrest, splitting his lip. He plans to fight the charges.
As far as the rescue goes, McLee does not think of himself as a “hero,” but just wants to be recognized as an “upstanding man” in society.
“I don’t want to be called a hero. I just want to be known as an individual who is an upstanding man. No matter… what or where, just an upstanding person,” he added. “And I hope (that trooper) sees this and knows he’s forgiven.”
