Anarcho-Tyranny: The Corruption of Charlottesville, VA

Via Nancy

A new DeAndre Harris video has emerged which provides more context of the fight he initiated in the Charlottesville parking garage:


It has been nearly 24 hours.

I’ve never been so angry about anything in my entire life. I had to unplug from the internet after I was blinded with rage when the news broke that the Charlottesville Police had issued arrest warrants for more of our people who were defending themselves and others:

“The police arrested two men, including a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and were seeking a third in connection with violent episodes that took place at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., this month, including the beating of an African-American man that was caught on video and widely shared on social media.

The arrests came two weeks after the Aug. 12 rally, which brought hundreds of white supremacists to Charlottesville to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general. The day was marked by skirmishes between demonstrators and counterprotesters, and a 32-year-old woman, Heather D. Heyer, was struck and killed by a car in what the authorities have called a terrorist attack.

The police were widely criticized for not doing more to stop violence throughout the morning. …”

This is outrageous.

We have already covered at length how the police took the day off in Charlottesville. They stood down and allowed violent Antifa to attack the #UniteTheRight demonstration. This was used as an excuse by Charlottesville and Gov. Terry McAuliffe to declare an illegal assembly and “state of emergency” and nullify the federal court order that had allowed #UniteTheRight to proceed in Lee Park.

American Presidents, Slavery, and the Confederacy

 

The current pogrom against Southern history and symbols ignores the influence the South and the institution of slavery had on most American presidents. American history would not be the same without it. If the current goal is to purge any reminder of slavery and the Confederacy from the public sphere, then nearly every American president would have to be withdrawn from our historical consciousness. Nineteen presidents either were slaveholders, from slaveholding families, or were married into slaveholding families:

Supreme Court asks Mississippi governor for defense of Confederate symbol on state flag

Let The Band Play Dixie

Ridiculous as it was adopted in 1892.

The controversy over Confederate symbols may soon arrive at the Supreme Court, stemming from a dispute coming from Mississippi.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant's attorneys to file arguments by Sept. 28 in defense of the Confederate battle symbol on Mississippi's state flag, according to the Associated Press.

National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster: A legend or a lie?

Via Mike

Fresh on the heels of a successful offensive in Mosul, Iraq, the Iraqi military is now poised to retake Tal Afar, long a hotbed of ISIS and other insurgent activity. Before we pulled out of Iraq, Tal Afar, like Fallujah, had been the focal point of multiple large-scale, costly offensives to eject entrenched insurgents. In 2005, then-Colonel H.R. McMaster led the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment (3rd ACR) in the largest of these offensives, Operation Restoring Rights. His reputation as a brilliant military strategist rests largely on the results of that one battle. Given the widespread support for McMaster in the media and Washington establishment, it is ironic that current reporting largely fails to mention this battle or McMaster’s central role in it.

McMaster’s widely-hyped strategic acumen has been called into question by high-level military sources with personal knowledge of his conduct in the field. These sources spoke with me on condition of anonymity.

CHART: All The Things Nazis, Communists, and Antifa Share In Common

 

Brian Thomas reports that the Mayor of Berkeley Jesse Arreguin said Monday that it is time to classify Antifa as a gang, after peaceful demonstrators rallying in support of President Trump were attacked by more than 100 masked Antifa so-called activists.

A crowd that had marched peacefully throughout the day was gathered in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Civic Center Park for their “Rally Against Hate.”

The demonstrators consistently disavowed white supremacists, Nazis, and racists, but Antifa members decided that they were fascists. The anarchist group, Antifa is aggressively anti-capitalist and believes violence is justified against any group of people they decide are fascist.

The $outhern Poverty Law Center’s blacklists must be stopped.

Via Billy

 

The ATLAH World Missionary Church is located in the heart of Harlem right off Malcolm X Boulevard. *Pastor David Manning grew up picking cotton in the segregated South. The African-American church and its pastor have had plenty of critics over the years, but none have accused them of white supremacy.

Until now.

Color of Change has rolled out its version of the Southern Poverty Law Center blacklist. The race-baiting group, co-founded by CNN’s Van Jones, put up a petition demanding that credit card companies stop taking “blood money” by “processing funds for over 100 white supremacist hate groups.”

The Color of Change list of “white supremacist hate groups” includes Pastor Manning’s black church. It also features the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Faith Freedom International, the Center for Security Policy, Jihad Watch, Act for America, the Shoebat Foundation, Stop the Islamization of the World, the American College of Pediatricians and, incidentally, Sultan Knish, my own personal blog.

Single-payer healthcare isn't what the doctor ordered

Via Billy

America's doctors are warming to the idea of single-payer healthcare. A new survey from consulting firm Merritt Hawkins finds that 56 percent of doctors support a government-run system at least somewhat, with 42 percent expressing strong support.

It's easy to see why so many doctors are fed up with the Obamacare status quo. But a federal takeover of our healthcare system isn't the answer. Indeed, if physicians understood what single-payer means for their own profession, they'd be far less eager to make the switch.

Under a single-payer system, doctors would be forced to let the government's finances, not their own medical judgment, dictate many treatment decisions.

Such ill-advised penny-pinching is routine in the United Kingdom's National Health Service. In fact, NHS organizations are now instituting so-called "lifestyle rationing" measures that delay certain surgeries for obese patients and smokers in an attempt to keep costs in check.

'Raise Your Battle Flag': How an Alabama musician came to record an alt-right anthem

Via Billy

On Aug. 5, a right-wing militia group called the Georgia III% Security Force held a Confederate rally at Stone Mountain. Members and supporters stood at the crest of the Georgia mountain known for its massive stone carving of Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee and hoisted their Rebel flags into the air.

As he drove into a parking lot just before the event, Chris Hill, the group's leader, listened to "Raise Your Battle Flag" by Celtic Confederate, a song that has become something of an anthem for him and for militias, pro-Confederate organizations and other alt-right groups across the South.

Russia warns Israel not to attack Iran in Syria

Via Billy

Russia warned Israel on Wednesday not to authorize an attack on Iranian military positions in Syria after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to prevent a buildup on his borders.

"If anyone in the Middle East or [an]other part of the world plans to violate international law by undermining any other country's sovereignty or territorial integrity, including any country in the Middle East or North Africa, this would be condemned," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters.

Netanyahu has warned that Iran is building military facilities in Syria. U.S. and Israeli officials have worried for years that Russia and Iran, by partnering to protect Syrian President Bashar Assad, would emerge from the conflict with long-term strategic advantages, and Lavrov's comment suggests Russia's support for Iran's consolidation of those gains.

Breitbart pounds Ryan, Romney, Rubio for not denouncing anti-fascists

Via Billy

Breitbart News took aim at so-called establishment Republican lawmakers Wednesday by slamming House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for not denouncing left-wing "anti-fascist" violence in a lead headline on Wednesday.

"‘Unequivocal Condemnation’: Pelosi Denounces Antifa Violence… Before GOP’s Ryan, Rubio, Romney,'" reads the Breitbart lead headline.

The criticism from the conservative publication comes after Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement Tuesday evening that so-called antifa protesters — militant far-left groups that demonstrate against neo-Nazis and white supremacists — deserve “unequivocal condemnation."
