The Origins and Genesis of the Coup to Overthrow America
Credit needs to be given to the neo-Marxist, “Black Lives
Matter”, “Antifa” and flat-out anarchists, for a strategy, that if not arrested
soon, will result in a socialist/communist totalitarian takeover of our country
and society, as happened in Venezuela in the late 1990’s.
These groups have been active for a while, and their revolutionary
socialist/communist aims can be exposed by research if someone digs deeply
enough, which I have done. These are
destructive, revolutionary leftist movements, but they have been represented by
their founders and backers as positive and peaceful. And the names, of course, are innocuous. Who can say that “black lives don’t matter”,
or that they are “for fascism”?
These groups have taken advantage of what has become a
perfect storm in America, with several contributing elements, as enumerated
below.
First, the groups themselves. Black Lives Matter operates under the façade
of social justice for what they say are oppressed Black Americans being shot in
large numbers by brutal, killer police. (The
FBI and other crime statistics completely refute this contention). Antifa claims to fight white supremacist
groups, of which, we’ve hardly seen any at all, lately. Anarchists have always been around, with the avowed
purpose of tearing down society, and they don’t even seem to have a plan to
rebuild it like the Marxists do, (in their own image).
Second, the increasing left-wing nature of our secondary and
university educational system, that instills socialist principles in our
students, highlighting the altruistic portion of socialism and communism, and
neglecting to teach about its corrosive nature, that resulted in the deaths of
upwards of 120 million people in the twentieth century. These students are now the millennials and
gen-z’s marching in our streets, and supporting BLM and Antifa.
Third, a pathological and almost religious hatred of
President Donald J. Trump, and everything he does and stands for, by these
groups and their followers in the streets.
They would do anything to get rid of Trump, as they demonstrated while
he was still being inaugurated in January, 2017. This rank and undiluted hatred apparently afflicts
over 30% of our population, and is fueled by the 90%+ left-wing media, who fan
this hatred of Trump by biased, inaccurate and false reporting.
Fourth, the societal, economic and psychological disruptions
caused by the corona virus. The country was
effectively shut down for over three months, with people “sheltering in place”,
or effectively “locked down”. This meant
virtually no personal contacts, social distancing imposed, upwards of 30
million people out of work, food lines and dystopia enforced by a killer
disease. For the Marxist revolutionaries,
much of the job of weakening the existing civilization was being done for them
by Covid-19.
Fifth, a release from what amounted to captivity for
millions of people at almost exactly the same time that a Black American was
brutally killed in Minneapolis by a white cop.
This one anecdotal occurrence inflamed the tinder-box that
our country had become because of the above factors. The bystander smartphone video of the cop,
Derek Chauvin, kneeling on Black American’s George Floyd’s neck, was enough to
accuse, fire, indict, convict and execute the cop, or so some said. And the mob was off!
Much of the country, including the writer, thought that the
original protests and demonstrations were completely legal and covered by the
First Amendment Right of Free Speech.
The protesters were demonstrating against George Floyd’s brutal death,
and the perception that it represented something more endemic and fundamental
against Black Americans.
It soon became apparent that violent elements had
infiltrated these originally “peaceful” groups, and violence and looting
erupted on the streets of our cities.
Unfortunately, even this violence and looting and arson were represented
by the leftist politicians and media as appropriate responses to what was
termed “systemic racism”.
Let’s analyze, in retrospect, what actually happened here.
With all of the impetus that had built up, (see the above five
points), the neo-Marxist “Black Lives Matter”, the originally communist
inspired “Antifa”, and several loosely organized anarchist groups saw that the
time was right, and they took their advantage.
Their cover was George Floyd’s death and the anger it inspired in our population,
just released from their sheep-pens, and our own First Amendment.
They started their goal of “imposing socialism” on our country,
and by that, I mean the standard Marxist goal of tearing a society down, and
then building it back up in the Marxist image.
I’m sure that they tried to proselytize some of the “peaceful”
protesters, and probably had some success.
After all, many of these “peaceful protesters” had received heavy doses
of Marxism from leftist educators in their scholastic courses.
George Floyd was killed on May 25, nearly a month ago, and it has to be evident to
anyone with a discerning and fair mind, that what is now happening in this
country has nothing to do with George Floyd’s death, police brutality, systemic
racism, or any kind of social justice, unless it’s the kind that overthrows our
society and culture, and brings the Neo-Marxists to power.
The neo-Marxist mob, somehow still cloaked in the mantle of
an acceptable protest group by local left-wing city democrats and the fawning
media, has now attacked nearly all of the manifestations and symbols of our culture
and heritage.
It began by defacing or destroying statues of confederate and
southern historical figures. This soon
spread to all iconic symbols of our history and culture. Statues and monuments related to Columbus,
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, and others have been attacked
by the Jacobin mobs. They even defaced a
statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn in Austin Texas.
Its lucky that they don’t have guillotines, buts let’s not give them any
ideas.
This revision of our history and culture did not stop with
statues and monuments. Long-standing TV
series, and even children’s animated programs were sacrificed to the left-wing revisionist
mob, as were iconic trademarks for products hundreds of years old. Cancelled were The “Cops” TV series after 31
years, “Paw Patrol” kids’ program after 7 years, the “Aunt Jemima” and “Uncle
Ben” trademarks, and Netflix pulled the highest grossing film ever, “Gone With
the Wind”, all to appease the Marxist mob which was bent on destroying our very
culture.
And it did not stop there.
People were “doxed” and fired.
Once reputable newspapers like the New York Times rescinded publication of
a factual op-ed piece by a notable political figure. A call arose from the mob, backed by the
democrat politicians and their media accomplices to defund, or even disband the
police. Anarchists razed a police
station and occupied a large section of the capitol area of Seattle, to the
mewling of the democrat mayor that “maybe we’ll have a summer of love”. (The “love” didn’t last very long though,
because people were soon gunned down in the streets, and there were no police
to stop it.)
The rioting, looting, arson and destruction continues, many
times being reported by the biased media, to a gullible public, that these are “peaceful”
protests by demonstrators exercising their First Amendment Rights. Even our most gullible types must realize
that something is wrong after nearly a month of street and societal violence.
St John’s Episcopal Church, known as “The Church of Presidents”,
is on H Street NW in DC, on the periphery of Lafayette Square, a stone’s throw
away from the White House. The church
was defaced and burned by the mob at the end of May. Lafayette Square was cleared of protesters on
June 1st, by the National Park Service because of its proximity and potential
danger to
the White House, to the shrieks of the mob that it was a “peaceful”
First Amendment” protest. This after burning
part of the church the night before.
The so called “peaceful” nature of this incident continues
to be represented that way by Wikipedia, which has been edited to reflect the
BLM and anarchist view of what happened.
The Wikipedia reference is opposite to what the National Park Service,
who cleared Lafayette Square, reports officially. A look at the bios of some of the Wikipedia
editors of this article confirms their leftist bias.
President Trump and a group of his advisors walked to the church
from the White House, and Trump made a point of standing in front of the partly
burned church with a bible in his hand.
This simple gesture brought out a wave of anti-Trump hatred, vituperative
rhetoric and defamation.
On the night of June 22nd, the violent mob again
attacked St John’s Church, defaced and tried to pull down a statue of Andrew
Jackson, and attempted to set up a Seattle-style “autonomous zone” in Lafayette
Park, right next to the White House, with the church as the focus. “B.H.A.Z” was painted by the mob on the
Grecian pillars of the church, standing for “black house autonomous zone”. A large contingent of D.C. police repelled
this latest attempt at insurrection and sedition coached as “peaceful” protest.
And the beat goes on, with nearly all of our major cities
and some states, having incumbent democrats in office, that refuse to take
action to stop the destructive mobs, and the media continuing to represent the
Marxist movement as “peaceful” under the First Amendment. President Trump on June 23, was in process of making it a federal
crime, with stiff penalties, to deface or destroy a federal monument, which at
least is a step in the right direction.
Under our Federal system, the mayors and the governors
normally need to request the federal government to federalize the National
Guard to stop the violence. The
president can override the local authorities and send in federal troops by
invoking the Insurrection Act, but this would be a matter of last resort, and literally
political suicide for someone as controversial as Trump is, in an election
year. The result could be a demented President
Joe Biden, an opportunistic Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams really running the
executive, and “Crazy Nancy” still as speaker.
Federal troops, both in the form of a federalized National
Guard, and actual U.S. military troops have been used several times in the past
to ameliorate civil situations. In 1957,
at the behest of the mayor of Little Rock, President Eisenhower issued an Executive
Order, which put the Arkansas National Guard under federal authority, and
sent 1,000 U.S. Army troops from the 101st Airborne Division to Little
Rock, to maintain order as Central High School desegregated.
In 1965, Lyndon Johnson federalized the Alabama National
Guard over the objections of Arkansas Governor Orville Faubus, to protect
Martin Luther King’s third civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery.
One positive result of the original, truly peaceful, First
Amendment demonstrations was to point to the continuing disparity of
opportunity regarding Black Americans, and the residual bigotry that still
exists in some pockets of American society.
It has also highlighted lack of proper police recruiting and training,
and police unions that continue to shield and reassign deviant cops. Hopefully our executive branch and
legislature can diminish their hatred and political bickering long enough to
pass meaningful rules and laws to mitigate some of these still extant racial
issues.
Concerning the Marxist movement and the violence in the
streets, and the ridiculous “cancel culture” that they have spawned, the only
way that these will be rectified is by application of appropriate police and
law enforcement, action. We certainly
should have learned from long historical experience, that appeasing a violent
and ruthless mob only serves to further its exploitation. Unfortunately, the resolve for appropriate
action does not seem to exist, either at the local, state, or federal
levels. The current trend is opposite,
to emasculate law enforcement.
Victor Davis Hanson has proposed that these movements
dissipate when they turn on each other.
Unfortunately, the avowed goal of the neo-Marxists and anarchists is to
tear down our civilization, as they did in Venezuela, (and they did it really
fast there). We can only hope that some
resolve will develop in our government ranks, to stop this destructive,
corrosive malady before it destroys us.
We can hope, and we can vote, and thankfully, our citizens are armed,
unlike Venezuela and other countries taken over by left wing, Marxist, totalitarian
movements.
