I cheered the Freddie Gray uprising on the morning it erupted here in Baltimore, and ever since I have always applauded the Black Lives Matter movement. No more. Clearly, they've been infiltrated. Clearly, they are working for Putin's plan to divide America. Alexander Dugin specifically recommended using African American protest movements for this purpose.
My decision against BLM is irrevocable. No argument you can mount -- no matter who you are -- will ever change my mind. Do you disagree? I giveth not Shit One for your thoughts.

BLM represents several things. It is a statement black lives matter too. It is a movement to bring attention to systematic discrimination against blacks. It is an anarchist movement that can be infiltrated by enimies.
The picture doesn't fairly represent the article if I read it right. A passing reference was made that the protest included Black Lives Matter supporters. The bloom on Jefferson's rose faded a long time ago. Putin? Maybe he hasn't forgotten that Jefferson helped Napoleon. I can still see Putin's poker-face when the cameras showed him just after Yulia Lipnitskaya fell during her finals skating performance at Sochi in 2014. Was he hiding his sadness? Did he suspect a plot since it's nearly impossible for someone as tiny as Yulia, barely taller than an ant, to lose her balance. Ah, the Olympics: 1960 and Cassius Clay; 1968 and those raised gloved fists; 1972 and those murders; 1980 and Carter's boycott over Afghanistan; 2016 and the revival of golf. It's only a matter of time till blogging becomes an Olympic event. The judges will consider the blog along with the real-time comments.
This isn't really about Putin, Amelie. It's about fascism.
International fascism has always -- from the very beginning -- exploited the legitimate grievances of minority groups in America. John Roy Carlson talks about this in his books. Every pro-fascist rally in America during the 1930s featured American Indians on stage. Look up the REAL history of the Nation of Islam.
Fascists have made a particular target of Jefferson. They hate democracy, hate the country, and thus have always sought to demonize Jefferson, as a way of de-legitimizing the entire ideal. This is why fascists have long pushed the myth of the Illuminati: If you look closely, they have been particularly eager to push the idea that Jefferson was an Illuminatus. (If I recall correctly, George Johnson talks about this in his book "Architects of Fear," which I consider mandatory reading.)
The way the Russian government is portrayed in the US is continuing to change. There's absolutely no implication in this piece in the Washington Post that Putin's support for Assad - today expressed with cruise missiles - is anything other than a good thing in the fight against Daesh.
Meanwhile the fuckwit-market media in Britain is practically saying that the Russian military might in the course of its ongoing exercises in Belarus suddenly make a move to cut off the Baltic states. My view that WW3 is coming doesn't stop me from regarding the Daily Express as a daily version of the Watchtower!

Just so you know: no one can agree on the pronunciation of 'irrevocable'.
It's not BLM, Joseph. It's the entire generation, and the white millennials are worse. They tried to tarnish David Bowie, after he died, as a "child rapist" even though the woman involved kept saying she was not a victim and remained friends with Bowie for years. The way they tried to seize her own history and opine how she should define her own experience was vicious and abusive. I remember the sexual freedom of the early seventies. I thought the entire world was going to change and move forever forward. Still, without my own perspective of having lived through that time period, I don't know how
I would view it, especially since sexual freedom did not lead to gender "equality."
The prism the millennials look through is different and intolerant of dissent. I will always applaud the *rise* of Occupy and BLM, regardless of how they devolve/d, but we all know where roads built on good intentions invariably lead.
It's important to remember that the black population have an entire history mainly hidden/downplayed/dismissed from the "mainstream" which means "white people." For years, the African American community have passed down that Jefferson was a rapist. Can a slave give (or more importantly withhold) consent?
Without honest dialog, we have no way to reframe our shared history and BLM is rage that we have not even tried. I can't even imagine how I would feel living amongst people who used to throw my babies to alligators...and even exchange cutesy postcards about the practice. The closest I can come is rage how women were left out of the formation of our Union: and ridiculed when they proposed equality. Well, that's nutshelling it.
On the pronunciation of 'irrevocable': Accent on the second syllable.
Argument settled. Rome has spoken.
I suppose if I argued that Rome means 'stress' when Rome says "accent" Rome would consider it to be harassment (or harassment).
Somewhat on point, antifa.com is our comrades. A friend posted a lookup: the +7 dialing code for the contact number is Russia and has been for many years. Many years in this case isn't very long. Anarchists marched among us as far back as I can remember and I am old!
Thank you Prowler Zee for saying many things very well here.
Tom, I almost thought I lost my beloved desktop again this morning when the power briefly cut off, but somehow I found my way in again. I think of these things all the time, and how it's almost impossible to convey what needs to be discussed.
Besides the babies as alligator bait, there was something else I read today that's been made into "humorous" postcards, but it's slipped my mind for the moment. What hasn't slipped my mind is how white teens in NH tried to lynch an 8 y/o biracial boy and the police chief sided with the teens, not the child roped and pushed off a table. I woke up today puzzling over how to write this. They say our genes carry past abuse forward. Does that work on both sides of the abuse? We're wired to believe black lives don't matter? The police chief's reaction, and the utter lack of push-back, is the most horrifying aspect.
And how do the juggalos, rallying in DC today to not be classified as a "gang," fit in?? The "reality" we live in has gone haywire. Why even try to rewrite it?
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned...
