BLM literally coming for your "White people" homes - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

To all the BLM kneelers, white women prostrating on the ground screaming for "forgiveness", DemRats naming every Black on White violence as "peaceful protest", a line from the joker comes to mind. Those who refuse to understand what is being jinned up and how the demands of the left are never meant to be satisfied or final or conclusive until total submission and total domination is achieved, might consider this next step as another "well if we give them our homes may be THEN they will be satisfied, and leave us alone". No, and no. People fail to understand, there is NOTHING that will suffice except for TOTAL submission and TOTAL domination. It is nothing but a grab for pure power and the absolute despotism which follows if they get that power. 'Black Lives Matter'-Mob Demands White People Give Up Their Homes Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News, https://summit.news/2020/08/14/black-lives-matter-mob-demands-white-people-… https://www.zerohedge.com/political/black-lives-matter-mob-demands-white-pe… A video out of Seattle shows a mob of Black Lives Matter agitators harassing a homeowner and demanding that they give up their property in order to fix racism. The clip shows a male demonstrator singling out one home and lecturing those inside about how they’re “living in a historically black neighborhood.” He then accuses whites of buying land and homes from black people for below its market value and kicking out African-Americans. Black Lives Matter mob demands White people move out of neighborhood and give their homes to black people. pic.twitter.com/K2ywb899zS — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) August 14, 2020 “Do you know that? Because if you don’t, now you fucking do, now do something about it,” he adds, to which another protester responds by saying, “Open your wallet!” He then accuses the homeowners of being complicit in “racist gentrification” while demanding they do something to fix the problem. A masked female BLM agitator with a bullhorn then continues the tirade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFrZJyggwgE “Give us your house, give black people back their homes, you’re sitting there comfortably…I used to live in this neighborhood and my family was pushed out and you’re sitting up there having a good time with your other white friends.” “Now we’re bringing it to your front door, so what the fuck do you plan to do about it?” asks the male protester as the mob continues to harass the homeowner. The video ends with the homeowner apparently turning the lights off in a bid to avoid any further escalation. The seizure of white-owned property has long been a primary goal of the Black Lives Matter movement. Back in 2017, BLM leader Chanelle Helm issued a list of demands, one of which was that white people will give their property to black people in order to prove they’re not racist. “White [people] if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a Black or Brown family,” she wrote. “Preferably one that lives in generational poverty. … White [people] if you can afford to downsize give up the home you own to a Black or Brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty. … White [people], re-budget your monthly so you can donate to Black funds for land purchasing.”

Leaks are left unchallenged, even promoted and initiated, by sources to serve as alluring camouflage for current operations. Some wizards claim leaks and leakers were invented and sustained for this purpose. Prosecutons and demonization and publicity and legislation are tools of the deceptive ops. FOIA a particularly manipulative technique, redactions and classification markings applied for verisimilitude. So too the tiny yellow dots and other traces. Others: Encryption and anonymizers, drop boxes, whispers to journos, aggrieved insiders and loose-lipped contractors, inspector generals, congressional briefings, sex entrapments, privacy protection NGOs, hired and coerced bots, trolls and hackers, iimplants in hardware and software, compromised communcations and internet workers and admins, lawyers, priests, psychiatrists and other supposedly confidential advisers. Roll your own narcotic of outsmarting the mofos, peddle the product of secrecy and oppression.

Nick Cave: “Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world.” - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 15 Aug '20

Nick Cave on fire and in a good way! : Political Correctness & The Cancel Culture Is "Bad Religion Run Amuck" Steve Watson via Summit News, https://summit.news/2020/08/14/nick-cave-political-correctness-has-grown-to… https://www.theredhandfiles.com/what-is-mercy-for-you/ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/political-correctness-cancel-culture-ba… Singer Nick Cave has denounced cancel culture and political correctness as “bad religion run amuck” in a thoughtful and insightful post in which he opines how society is being eroded by a lack of mercy. The foreboding composer penned his thoughts on his website The Red Hand Files, urging that mercy is key to a society remaining “functioning and tolerant.” “Mercy ultimately acknowledges that we are all imperfect and in doing so allows us the oxygen to breathe — to feel protected within a society, through our mutual fallibility.” Cave wrote, adding that “Without mercy, a society loses its soul, and devours itself.” “Mercy allows us the ability to engage openly in free-ranging conversation — an expansion of collective discovery toward a common good. If mercy is our guide we have a safety net of mutual consideration, and we can, to quote Oscar Wilde, ‘play gracefully with ideas.’” the somber songwriter continued. “Yet mercy is not a given,” Cave proclaimed, noting that “It is a value we must nurture and aspire to. Tolerance allows the spirit of enquiry the confidence to roam freely, to make mistakes, to self-correct, to be bold, to dare to doubt and in the process to chance upon new and more advanced ideas. Without mercy society grows inflexible, fearful, vindictive and humourless.” “As far as I can see, cancel culture is mercy’s antithesis,” Cave urged. “Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become quite literally, bad religion run amuck.” Cave declared. The singer, known for an eclectic musical catalogue ranging from punk rock to lovesick murder ballads, expanded on his opinion, noting that “Cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnHoqHscTKE Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms (Official Video) “Compassion is the primary experience — the heart event — out of which emerges the genius and generosity of the imagination,” Cave wrote. “Creativity is an act of love that can knock up against our most foundational beliefs, and in doing so brings forth fresh ways of seeing the world. This is both the function and glory of art and ideas. A force that finds its meaning in the cancellation of these difficult ideas hampers the creative spirit of a society and strikes at the complex and diverse nature of its culture,” Cave further gracefully explained. It may be difficult to dismiss such elegantly expressed opinion, however hardcore leftists will no doubt found a way, likely by dredging up something from Cave’s distant past and immediately calling for his cancellation!

Vaccination false dichotomies - CCHD propaganda against evidence-based debate - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

To all the "mask protestors" out there who finally found their balls or ovaries, HERE is an issue which does _not_ have any possible righteous foundation - UNLIKE the question of masks - as in, are you seriously trying to hold that "there is no possible valid foundation for wearing a mask in certain circumstances"?? If so, consider what you wouldsay to nurses, doctors, surgeons, firefighters and abotoirs... The point is that if you are truly set on "standing on THIS rock to the metaphorical death" then shouldn't you choose a rock which has NO POSSIBLE ethical foundation?? (I'm just asking for a friend…) The Center For Cancel Culture And Digital Hypocrisy, otherwise known as the Center [sic] For Countering Digital Hate, is beginning a crusade "to censor legitimate scientific opinion and evidence based debate". As has been sardonically "suggested", "if it says 'vaccine' on the label, inject it immediately!" One of our various fundamental human rights is the right to engage in public debate on any and every topic we so choose, and "Big Social", the Silicon Valley "made kings" including Google, Facbook and Twitter, continue to ban, censor, shadow ban, and justify these free speech violating actions of theirs on a regular basis: now THIS is an actual clear and present danger to the foundations of our modern community - if you want a hill to metaphorically die on, then look no further! Ian Davis of Off-Guardian.org unpacks the latest round of "Justification Propaganda" from one of Big Social's primary propaganda arms: Inside The Center For Cancel Culture And Digital Hypocrisy, Part 1 Iain Davis via Off-Guardian.org, https://off-guardian.org/2020/08/11/ccdh-the-centre-for-cancel-culture-and-… https://www.zerohedge.com/political/inside-center-cancel-culture-and-digita… The Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) are a UK based organisation who have misspelled “centre” in their name. Perhaps they have opted for the U.S spelling in the hope of selling their peculiar brand of morally bankrupt censorship to the American propaganda market. https://www.counterhate.co.uk/ The Anti-Vaxx Industry, is a propaganda leaflet with two main objectives. The first is to create a false dichotomy in the public imagination and the second is to build a public-private censorship grid in anticipation of forthcoming government legislation. This is proposed to censor legitimate scientific opinion and evidence based debate on a wide range of issues the government and its corporate partners would rather silence. Including any questioning of vaccines. [example leaflet image not attached] They insist that anyone who has any doubts about any vaccine rejects all vaccines outright. This isn’t true but the CCDH are censors and propagandists, not rationalists. https://in-this-together.com/anti-rationalist/ Comically, they claim they are a non-governmental organisation (NGO). While technically plausible, their network of links to government, globalist think tanks and private corporations is extensive. The CCDH espouse the social reform and political philosophy of progressivism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism This advocates alleged progress through the advancement of science, technology and economic development. In the UK this is commonly associated with the political movement found on the right wing of the Labour Party and is the dominant ideology of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). http://progressonline.org.uk/ ... Free speech muffas - now there's a hill worth metaphorically dying on.
