The Media Are LYING To You About Everything, Including The RIOTS

Socio-Political Journal
The Media Lied about the Russia Collusion Hoax, about the Mueller Probe, about Impeachment, about the Coronavirus—and now they’re Lying about the Riots.

"It seems no great event or upheaval in our national life can pass now without the media lying to our faces about it.

"They lied about the Trump campaign colluding with Russia in 2016. They lied about the Mueller probe and Brett Kavanaugh and former national security adviser Mike Flynn. They lied about Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president and the impeachment farce that ensued. They lied about the coronavirus and the lockdowns and the White House response. And now they’re lying about the riots.

"In recent days we’ve heard a steady drumbeat of lies, distortions, and disingenuousness from the mainstream media about almost every aspect of the unrest now gripping American cities. The deceit is almost too pervasive and amorphous to describe, but I’m going to try anyway.

"Over the weekend we were told, for example, that the looting and violence was being instigated not by left-wing anarchists and antifa groups but by the media’s favorite villains: white supremacists. CNN, whose Atlanta offices were vandalized Friday, went on and on—without a shred of evidence to back it up—about how white supremacists might be infiltrating the protests and stirring up trouble. The New York Times, in a report that even quoted a senior police official in New York City saying outside anarchist groups were coordinating mayhem before the protests began, nevertheless veered into a long aside about how far-right “accelerationists” were hoping the unrest would bring about a long-sought second civil war.

"By Monday, no one was talking about the white supremacist agitators anymore. The media had moved on to better, more plausible lies." . . .

Over 400 NYC Looters to Be Freed from Jail Thanks to ‘Bail Reform’ Policy

Breitbart

Is this what CNN's Brooke Baldwin calls "a beautiful thing"?

"More than 400 looters arrested in New York City, New York, riots this week will be immediately freed from jail thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) “bail reform” policy that eliminated bail for many nonviolent and violent crimes.

"As riots rage on in New York City — and Mayor Bill de Blasio has refused to deploy the U.S. National Guard — hundreds of looters arrested for burglarizing shops and stores are set to be immediately freed back onto the streets.

"The New York Times noted that more than 400 people in New York City have been arrested for looting commercial businesses. Almost all of them will likely be released from jail immediately after their arraignments in court.

. . . 

"In March, New York City Police Department (NYPD) officials said that in the first 58 days of the year, close to 500 suspects who would have been kept locked up in jail if not for the new bail reform laws had been rearrested for committing an additional 846 crimes. Nearly 300 of these crimes included murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto." . . .

New York, what did you see in this guy when you elected him?

We get the government we deserve.
Thousands of Protesters March on the Home of NYC Mayor de Blasio, Demand He Resign For How He’s Handled the City

"It was actually even larger than that would appear, it reportedly stretched for 19 blocks.

"They reached the home and demanded he go.

. . . 

"It’s true, everyone of every stripe hates de Blasio.
"Some wags joked the thousands of protesters were just there to pick up Chiara de Blasio, who had been arrested during a protest a couple of nights ago.
"Folks on the left are angry about him imposing a curfew, folks on the right and in the center see the city dissolving into chaos, and de Blasio doing nothing. He has refused to call in the National Guard which has. infuriated people." . . .
"Everyone is angry that he outlawed legitimate protest yet is letting rioters run loose.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has even postulated trying to remove him as mayor.
"Meanwhile as we previously reported police are furious at him. They have hated him for years for not supporting them and now they feel it worse than ever, as they are being attacked in the streets and he does nothing.
"The protest is still at his doors and have been trying to breach the gates for some time. Reports were that the “protesters” were close to breaching the gates at Gracie Mansion." . . .

Bumfight: As New York burns, Cuomo blasts de Blasio, de Blasio blasts Cuomo

. . . "De Blasio has literally lost control, and clearly has no idea what he is doing. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has pointed out that he's "interfering" in the force of law rather than just standing by and pretending nothing is happening. He was last seen praising his bizarre-looking daughter for getting arrested with a group of people who were throwing projectiles at the police, providing that special cover for thugs of being 'protestors.' His heart is with the criminals. His incompetence is so vivid the "protestors" are now marching on his residence, confident they've got a weaking cornered." . . .

NYPD Union Writes Explosive Open Letter to Officers Under Siege: “We Have No Leadership, No Direction, and No Plan”  "So far, 2020 has been a raucous year for New York City’s police officers. First, they were tasked to be part of the frontline war against COVID-19, but as an NYPD union was quick to point out in April, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s own actions likely made the city the virus’ epicenter. Then in mid-May, when New York was still in the thick of trying to bend the curve, police had to deal with a shortage of PPE for their officers — along with a Health Commissioner who allegedly couldn’t care less about their safety."
. . .  

"On Sunday, in another sign that the relationship between the union and De Blasio is fractured, what appeared to be the arrest records of Chiara de Blasio, de Blasio’s daughter, were included in a tweet from their account. The tweet has since been removed or deleted. Ms. De Blasio, according to a NY Post report, was arrested at a Manhattan protest Saturday, Newsweek reported.

"Now, the president of that union, the NYPD (New York Police Department) Sergeants Benevolent Association, has released a searing, open letter, speaking directly to his fellow officers, who feel abandoned by the city’s leadership during the mayhem and protests following the murder of George Floyd after being pinned down by a Minneapolis police officer.

UNDER SIEGE: CNN HQ -friends of the rioters - in Atlanta Is Under Attack From Rioters, Lobby Has Become a Warzone

Is that the CNN font on the camera or not?

May 29: Matt Vespa  . . . "In Atlanta, state police had to be dispatched to the CNN headquarters there, as crowds became aggressive. Not even the staunchest anti-Trump network in the country could escape being put in the crosshairs of the rioters."
. . . 
"The building is quite literally under siege right now. It's prompted the mayor to pretty much tell the rioters to spare CNN because they're on their side."
. . . 

"UPDATE IV: Sorry, I missed this bit from activist Killer Mike, who pleaded with rioters not to burn down their communities. He also took a shot at CNN for spreading fear and anger every day.

CNN’s Baldwin On George Floyd Protests: ‘This Is a Beautiful Scene And This Is Necessary’

As Trump Promises Law and Order, CNN's Don Lemon Freaks Out About a Non-existent Dictatorship

WATCH: CNN's Chris Cuomo Goes to Bat for Looting Thugs By Insisting Protesters Don't Have to Be 'Polite and Peaceful'

At least the right was quick to call out Cuomo for his utter stupidity and the fact that he doesn't mind the violence. After all, he lives in the Hamptons. The likelihood of him having to deal with the fallout of the violence is pretty slim to none.

The Morning Briefing: MSM Really Earning 'Enemy of the People' Status During Riots

Willfully lying and thereby endangering the public really does earn them “Enemy of the People” status. I attack the MSM in writing because every one of them is deserving of scorn and derision right now and that probably won’t change even after Trump is out of office. They’ve become that bad.

Tony Branco

CNN's Stelter

PJ Media  "We all know that I am no fan of the mainstream media (MSM) and do tend to go after its heinously irresponsible members quite a lot. Let’s be honest here, kids: they deserve it.
"As I have mentioned a few times, it was liberal bias in the  MSM that compelled me to write about politics in the first place. It had bothered me for many years and when it came time to launch a humble political blog to fill up the time between gigs, that was my primary focus, and remains so today. (Side note: I used to write a lot about school choice back then too. Maybe I should do a post or two about that in the near future.)

"Regular readers of the Briefing are well aware of how much I have lamented the MSM’s performance during our coronapocalypse isolation fun. Every time I think that the faux journalists in the MSM have hit rock bottom in the Trump era, one of them finds another shovel and says, “Let’s keep digging!' ” . . .

'Shh!': George Floyd Protestors Become Agitated with a CNN Reporter

. . . "This has got to be one of the rudest and most insensitive things. People are mourning. They're holding a moment of silence – where no one talks – to remember someone who is no longer with us. But, of course, CNN wants to disrupt that because they care more about their failing ratings than they do about respecting others."

Greg Gutfeld Blasts Liberal Media’s Biased Coverage Of Riots, Dishonest Blaming Of Trump

There was another night of looting Monday. But what’s the media’s priority? Criticizing President Trump, of course. CNN anchors and reporters had plenty to say about the president.
Anderson Cooper said of Trump: “He calls them [rioters] thugs? Who is the thug here? Hiding in a bunker, hiding behind a suit?”
Don Lemon said: “We are teetering on a dictatorship. Is the president declaring war on Americans? What is happening here?”
Chris Cuomo said: “The president had been saying incendiary things, certainly if you’ve been listening with any kind of open-mindedness, certainly not helpful things.”
And CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta said of the president: “He’s all but calling on authorities to crack skulls at these protests. It’s not something you normally see in the United States of America. It’s something you see in more authoritarian countries.”
Amazing. Meanwhile, the headline on an editorial in The New York Times reads: “America’s Protests Won’t Stop Until Police Brutality Does.” Meaning, they hope this could go on forever…
The New York media, by sticking to their narrative that we deserve punishment, reject protecting our citizens. They mock the need for military intervention.
People have families, relatives and spouses who work at night. When our leaders believe this mayhem is inevitable, even necessary, then who protects us now?

Antifa promotes civil war and now they are coming for our homes and families

The rules change in the suburbs. You’re not robbing a private store and destroying public property anymore. Now you’re in home territory. The house is full of valuable possessions and luxuries, yes, but more than that, this location has family members in it. Wives, children, and even beloved pets.

A Warning to Rioters and Antifa Members Threatening to Come to the Suburbs

"This isn’t an internet tough guy post. This isn’t me flexing about my love of the 2nd Amendment and practice thereof. This isn’t about how well I can shoot, or what kind of guns I own.

"This is a legitimate warning about what will happen.

"Riots are popping up in cities over the murder of George Floyd, completely overshadowing the legitimate protests containing peaceful people making a valid point. Some of these rioters, namely those belonging to the group “Antifa,” have mentioned that they’re going to leave the cities and move their destruction and violence into the suburbs." . . .

Americans Were Threatened and the Inevitable Happened

. . . "Case in point, America has been faced with a number of threats. The COVID-19 pandemic and now the riots resulting from George Floyd’s murder have escalated the danger level up thanks to fears of looters, violence, and more. So, in response, Americans did what they’ve always done; purchase a gun.

Fed up Minneapolis Woman Gives Interview That Every Riot Apologist in the Mainstream Media Should Watch

RedState

"There has been a lot to be frustrated and disgusted with in the national media’s coverage of the riots that have taken place in cities across America in response to the senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of (now former) Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

"Whether it was MSNBC’s Ali Velshi absurdly describing the Minneapolis riots as “not, generally speaking, unruly”, CNN’s Brian Stelter narcissistically comparing the tragic death of Floyd to the arrests of the CNN crew in Minneapolis, or MSNBC’s Chris Hayes’s ridiculous equation of the riots to the American Revolution, the national media has reported from a “solidarity/we feel y’all” standpoint, making excuses for why anarchistic rioters are looting/burning businesses and cars to the ground and destroying the very communities they claim to want to help.

"But one Minneapolis woman who was interviewed by KSTP-TV is not having what the CNNs and MSNBCs of the world are trying to sell when it comes to the “protesters” who have unleashed hell on the streets. Here’s what she told the news station about what she witnessed and how it was absolutely senseless and counterproductive:" . . . Full article

Teen Vogue: Antifa ‘Aspires Toward Creating a Better World’  . . . “‘Antifa grows out of a larger revolutionary politics that aspires toward creating a better world, but the primary motivation is to stop racists from organizing,'” tweeted Teen Vogue on Monday." . . .

I Watched Antifa Grow, Let Me Warn You About These Terrorists  . . . "Antifa: well organized, practiced in street warfare, entering into Phase Two of Mao’s rules for Insurgencies 

"These people are very serious. They are terrorists aligned with the radical leadership of Black Lives Matter, who traded learnings with Hamas, and, the founding philosophy of which Professor Jacobson has exposed, based upon the work of Anne Sorock of The Frontier Lab.

“If you think the Black Lives Matter movement is just or even primarily about ‘Black Lives,’ then you don’t understand the movement.

A new research report, based on detailed interviews with those active in the movement, demonstrates that the organized movement is a vehicle for a radical leftist anti-Capitalist agenda, using ‘Black Lives’ as the hook.”

"Antifa has never had to hide in Seattle, Portland or the rest of the West Coast. When the news media is forced to mention them at all, they obligingly call them “anti-fascists”, which, this week, useful idiots have been touting on Twitter as proof that being against Antifa means one is for fascism, to which I have replied, “why are you against ‘Making America Great Again?”

"Antifa loves guns, they have a militia arm and they have practiced seizing civilian infrastructure, part of Phase Two on Mao’s rules for Insurgencies " . . .

. . .  "Antifa has already committed one major act of terrorism, an attempt to seize a hardened, government building, part of Phase Three of Mao’s rules for Insurgencies." . . . 

. . . 

"Antifa and Black Lives Matter want to take down America. What can you do?

"As NBC News in New York noted, the attacks being carried out on American cities are sophisticated; they have logistics, supply chain, intelligence operations and medical supply and aid groups. They learned their techniques on our streets, tested them on our citizens and now, they are employing them against the United States of America, along with drug addiction, sex trafficking, illegal immigration and pornography: another gift to the Country from the one-party West Coast. How can you protect you and your communities? 

These groups are not going to stop, they will have to be stopped. Make sure office holders and politicians you support will work to end Antifa and the militant arm of Black Lives Matter as terrorist groups 

"Antifa and the militant arm of Black Lives Matter have attacked cities around the United States. Do they have chapters in your area? Search them on Facebook and Twitter–they have never felt a need to hide their existence. When you find them, demand that your local law enforcement understand they are not “kids” and they are not “protesters”, they are part of an army.  

"If you live in, or near, a decent sized city, talk with your neighbors, get armed, be trained and be ready. In American cities, police were quickly overwhelmed and Democratic governors try at all costs to not deploy the National Guard (unless, as in Washington State,  they are sent out unarmed.) Washington State cities, like Snohomish, have deterred Antifa and Black Lives Matter for now, as have these men, whom the media apparently tried to color as racist, using the [dog] whistle of “redneck.' ” . . .

VDH: Biden as Paradox

Victor Davis Hanson

His weaknesses are his strength, and he’s not running for the presidency.

   "It is now conventional punditry that should Joe Biden win in November, his vice president, in 1944-style, will sooner rather than later become president.
   "Biden, to reboot and secure the identity-politics base, thought he had to discriminate by sex and race in advance by selecting his vice president. But given recent poor performances, Biden’s promise to select a woman or minority or both on the ticket is a wink-and-nod admission that she or he will soon be the real president while on the ballot as vice president.
   "In 2019–20, Biden had moved hard left to get nominated and more or less renounced all his previous old-style liberal voting record, such as tough sentencing of drug dealers, opposition to court-mandated school busing, opposition to illegal immigration, and support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His contrition over his most recent offensive putdown (“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”), alongside the nationwide protesting and rioting, will make it even more likely that Biden will select a progressive with the sort of agendas that went nowhere even in liberal Democrat primaries, and will stay nowhere after the rioting.
   "Yet Biden apparently believes that his dilemmas and personal foibles will soon be turned upside down, and that his weakness somehow will be seen as strength. A limp Biden in seclusion believes he is far more effective than fighting Joe Biden on the stump. And in a strange way, he could be sort of right.
   "Indeed, the subtext of the Biden candidacy is becoming something along the following Ten Biden Jiujutsu Commandments: . . ."

Piles of Bricks Mysteriously Appearing at Riot Hotspots Across US Have People Demanding Answers

‘It’s Unacceptable’: Richmond Police Chief Gets Emotional While Talking About Fire Set To Home With Child Inside
NBC12 Newsroom  . . . "Chief Smith says last night protesters set fire to a few buildings, including a multi-family residence that was occupied by a child in the 300 block of West Broad Street.
"As fire crews were arriving, Smith says protesters blocked the engine from reaching the fire.
"“When you take a legitimate issue and hijack it for unknown reasons, that is unacceptable to me, it’s unacceptable to the Richmond Police Department, unacceptable to the city of Richmond,” said Smith." . . .

Remember this in Minnesota?

The blame actually goes to Soros. He funds Black Lives Matter and the Antifa.  "If a politically naive person watched nearly a week’s worth of protests and general mayhem on MSNBC and CNN like I did, they might arrive at a logical conclusion: It’s all Trumps’ fault. Over and over again I heard guest ‘analysts’ as well as host ‘journalists’ say the rioting was due to Trump’s ‘systemic racism.’ They even said the president fanned the flames of violence.
"We can expect Maxine Waters to shrilly blame Trump for anything negative including bad weather. Don Lemon blamed Trump so hard that he almost got emotional over it. I actually expect him to cry—that’s how earnest he became while in the throes of his Trump Derangement Syndrome.
"The blame actually goes to Soros. He funds Black Lives Matter and the Antifa. Even those on the left complained that 80% of the rioters were ‘imported from out of town’ and incited violence. Palettes of bricks were left in handy locations to be thrown through windows. Protests are legal and to be expected in this instance but rioting, violence and looting are crimes.
"President Trump talked about designated Antifa as a terrorist organization by executive order. Antifa individuals who commit acts of violence should be arrested and held accountable. The real terrorist organization includes George Soros, Bill Gates, and the globalist cabal. They all want to destroy America in order to bring about globalism."
