On
Saturday, August 12, violence erupted amongst skirmishes between
protestors and counter-protesters gathered around the removal of a Robert E. Lee
monument in Charlottesville, Virginia. With reports of the brutality
and responsive protests unfolding, the complexity of the event is
quickly being packaged by the mainstream media in a way that advances
the Democratic political
establishment’s ongoing effort to discredit President Donald Trump using false and inflammatory media narratives that exploit America’s systemic and troubling racism for political gain.
The events in Charlottesville took place days after an earth-shattering Disobedient Media report broke into the mainstream,
unequivocally and finally debunking the baseless Clinton-Obama argument
that it was Russian hackers who interfered in the 2016 American
election, and not the American Democratic Party itself. Though Americans
blocked the efforts of the Clinton campaign, Obama administration,
Democratic Party, and mainstream media to install Clinton as Obama’s successor last
November, holdovers from the Clinton-Obama alliance continue exerting
any political power they have to advance the interests of the American
oligarchy and its rogue shadow government — or “Deep State” — flailing
desperately to unseat Trump.
The debunking of the Clinton-Obama “Russiagate” myth followed a call from
the House Judiciary Committee to appoint a special counsel to
investigate Clinton, Obama, and their network of co-conspirators in the
FBI, DOJ, and mainstream media for their wrongdoing in the 2016 election
and its aftermath. Massive court victories by Judicial Watch calling
for emails from Clinton’s aides around the 2012 Benghazi attack, and others pertaining to the handling of the infamous “Comey memos” the DOJ failed to turn over following former Director James Comey’s
departure, have party leadership in a state of utter paralysis as
various scandals unfold and the party descends into free-fall.
America’s Ongoing War on Its Own
Context to understanding the state of American society in 2017 is the brutal recency of The Great Fleecing.
After the working class’s political power was decimated by the
wholesale export of good-paying American manufacturing jobs around the
2008 economic crisis, Americans have been left at the mercy of the
United States’ rogue banks. What
Obama orchestrated prior to his departure amounts to the greatest
transfer of wealth in the history of the world: $4.5 trillion dollars
was gifted to Wall Street banks, widening the gap between rich and poor
more than under any president before. With a smile on his way out the
door, Obama quietly left the vast majority of Americans in worse
economic conditions than they have ever seen in their lifetimes.
While Obama and Hillary Clinton’s relationship fluctuated over
time, their 2016 alliance with each other, the Party, and the
mainstream media was effectuated to protect the mutual interest of each
of these four “pillars” of the American power establishment. As Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ primary campaign fraudulently vacuumed money,
time, and votes from millions of engaged citizens organizing to reject
the Clinton-Obama agenda, Obama’s administration worked with Clinton’s
campaign to seemingly do all they could to disenfranchise and impoverish
what remained of the American working class and the progressive
Americans that rejected their agenda.
The savvy are aware of Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe’s involvement with the Clinton-Obama alliance. Prior to the election, McAuliffe drew fire for
inviting a Chinese national who donated to both his campaign and the
Clinton Foundation to a fundraiser in Clinton’s home; the corruption in
plain sight is currently under investigation by the Justice Department.
Since then, his $500,000 donation to
the election campaign of the wife of an official at the FBI who helped
oversee Clinton’s email investigation has McAuliffe under even more
intense scrutiny.
Mayor Mike Signer
also flaunts a precarious affiliation with the Clinton-Obama network.
Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Signer famously — and now
ominously — declared Charlottesville the “Capital of the Resistance”. Considering the emptiness of this sloganeering by the Democrats, his reasons for doing so appear misguided at best.
The Charlottesville Clash
Saturday
morning, a “Unite the Right” demonstration was scheduled to occur in
Charlottesville’s Emancipation Park. Having secured the appropriate
permits to protest, officials in Charlottesville had committed to
protecting the demonstrators’ right to protest, regardless of the
hideous ideologies of white supremacy at the root of the event’s purpose
or espoused by any of its attendees. While some arrived in street
clothes, many came dressed and armed in ad-hoc riot gear similar to the
protective gear used by Virginia State troopers and Charlottesville
police on site, undoubtedly emboldened by the overt racism inflamed by
the establishment in the run-up to Trump’s election.
The intentions of the counter-protestors,
however, may be even more concerning. A loose network of “Antifa”
(anti-fascist) activist groups had coordinated heavily in advance to
supply counter-protesters to confront any outward racism anticipated at
the event. This network included efforts directed by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC, BoldProgressives.org), a Soros-funded activist group, and other left-leaning groups,
such as Standing Up For Racial Justice (SURJ) and Refuse Fascism. While
organizing to reject the white supremacy entrenched in American society
is an urgent priority, political organizations motivated to confront
voters perceived as racist instead of confronting the policymakers that
protect and enforce America’s racist system should call for both
skepticism and scrutiny.
That
morning, as the “Unite the Right” rally proceeded, counter-protester
groups arrived en masse with the intention of disruption. Eventually,
barricades sanctioning the permitted protest area were removed,
eliminating the oversight afforded to demonstrators legally permitted to
protest, and allowing confrontations to escalate. Demonstrators were
forced by police to disperse, and deliberately funneled through groups
of agitated counter-protesters, leading them directly into the conflicts that ensued.
With
the police locked in an intentional retreat, violence broke out. As the
brutality was allowed to escalate, Governor Terry McCauliffe declared a
State of Emergency that would disperse the masses; as they did, a car
plowed through a crowd near the city’s downtown, killing a 32-year-old
woman. Overall, an estimated 34 people were injured; a later helicopter
crash resulted in two additional casualties by the end of the day.
In
the aftermath of the Charlottesville clash, it is clear that Mayor
Signer allowed local authorities to abstain from preventing the violence
that escalated. It is also clear that Governor McAuliffe’s declaration
of a State of Emergency allowed further escalations of violence. It was
on both the watches of Signer and McAuilffe that 34 innocent Americans
were injured, and 3 killed. This negligence utterly disgraceful, and
completely unacceptable.
The failures of
Signer and McAuliffe here should be investigated as soon as possible,
going all the way up the chain of command, and leaving no stone
unturned. There is no valid reason an elected official would order a
police force to “stand down” or for a Governor to support it; any
elected official that would allow such preventable violence should lose
their seat and be banned from public service. At a time when virtuous
leadership is called for, Signer and McAuliffe showed none of it.
Worse,
what they did was show continued participation in the Clinton-Obama
establishment in a tantrum state as Trump’s administration neuters the
massively corrupt network they hoped to install to rule the free world.
That the Charlottesville clash took place on Clinton crony McAuliffe’s
home turf, at the “capital of the Resistance”, and inflamed by paid
partisan agitators, is by no means a coincidence: it is a clear
continuation of the Clinton-Obama war on the 99%. Americans must resolve
with unity to address this.
A Politicized Media’s Motives in View
As
the events unfolded in Charlottesville, there was almost more to observe
in the media’s response to the events than in the events themselves.
Having famously allotted Trump billions in free airtime leading up to the 2016 election, the American mainstream media’s intentions remain under heavy scrutiny in light of numerous revelations that have exposed its flagrant and unethical loyalty to
the corrupt Democratic party establishment. The irony of the
intolerance espoused by those denouncing intolerance will continue until
the Democrats accept and address this blatant and discrediting
hypocrisy.
Americans
tuned into the Democrats’ response to their 2016 failure have watched
as the Clinton-Obama coalition has shamelessly transitioned their failed campaign operations into a network of astroturf groups that seek to continue to discredit Trump instead
of meaningfully addressing the struggles of America’s working class
that rejected the Democrats last November. Truthfully, the Party cannot
address these economic struggles honestly since they deliberately
worsened them. Their only to option to move forward remains elevating
Trump as a straw-man to distract from their wrongdoing.
Tweets from party operatives Neera Tanden and John Iadrola
offer a clear look at how the American establishment is casting the
Charlottesville clash in favor of the dethroned Obama-Clinton regime. In
response to an odd Friday night rally featuring choreographed neo-Nazis
bearing tiki torches identical to those of the Ukrainian coup Obama and Clinton supported in
2014, Tanden issued an ominous setup that seemingly sought to pre-empt
observers from blaming the establishment for what was to come.
Prior
to Saturday’s violence, Tanden pointed the finger at “fascists marching
with torches .. the enemies of progress”, suggesting “everyone on the
progressive side” should not blame the oppressors in power but rather
the “actual fascists” demonstrating:
It’s hard to find more clear of a tool of the corporate duopoly desperate to project than the insufferable Tanden. In her tweet, Tanden exposes the intent of the Clinton-Obama Pied Piper strategy
clearly: in place of any substantive agenda, the goal is to divert
attention away from crimes of a ruling class that continues to pillage
the earth and humanity every day.
While
Tanden’s tweet exposed the intention of the Democratic establishment to
pit Americans against each other, The Young Turks host John Iadrola’s
August 13 tweet reinforced the Democrats’ strategy to use both the
white supremacist faction of Trump’s base and his legitimate cooperation
with Russian head of state Vladimir Putin in any way that could discredit Trump:
Fortunately in light of the Disobedient Media report, the Democratic Party’s “muh Russia” excuse is officially null and void.
Further, as included in the House Judiciary’s call for a second special
counsel, an independent investigation will be conducted to investigate
Clinton and Obama’s own inappropriate ties with the Russian government around the Uranium One deal, the Ukrainian coup, and favoritism within the FBI and DOJ. Following the Syrian cease-fire and the withdrawal of covert CIA operatives pushing
for regime change, the Clinton-Obama network will finally answer to the
millions of Americans exploited by their delinquent and insidious
endeavors.
In
the aftermath of the clash, one thing is certain: Americans of all party
affiliations should unite to denounce the failure of these elected
officials to protect their citizens and allow such needless losses of
life. While the underlying dynamics of the demonstration deserve
thoughtful analysis as America addresses its ongoing identity crisis,
the malicious actions of Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer and Virginia
Governor Terry McAuliffe should be the cause for greatest concern. With
blood on their hands and knee-deep in scandal, Mayor Signer and Governor
McAuliffe should step down immediately and allow Americans to move
forward in investigating Clinton and Obama without them. Until then,
they will remain the faces of the most deadly cancer currently
destroying American society.
The Only Way Out is Through
As
overwhelming as it is to look the rotten American establishment in the
eye, knowledge in the information age is more powerful than ever. While
the corrupt establishment insists Americans should fight “right versus
left” among themselves, the common sense of 300 million citizens
suggests the American people are aware the most important battle is the
one against a Deep State desperate to control them. The people who deserve the ire of the Americans are the oligarchs in the top 0.1% responsible for the expansion of poverty in America and unbridled militarism around the world. Americans by and large know this, and are gaining more ground than the Deep State.
As
intimidating as the Deep State’s war on Americans is, the American
people are making progress. As complex as it may be to prioritize
Americans’ interwoven struggles for economic and racial justice along
with it, the American people should commit to making progress here too.
As overwhelming as it may seem to confront America’s multiple
oppressors, the American people should stay confident in their strength
in numbers.
As ugly as the road ahead may be, the fearless American spirit knows the only way out is through.
