According to this October 31, 2020 article in The Guardian, only one BLM/Antifa protester was shot to death by police during the vast number of Mostly Peaceful Protests in 2020: body armor-clad Jorge Gomez was killed by Las Vegas police in June when he drew one of the three guns he was carrying on them.

Most violence is caused by white christians
Read any academic or mainstream pundit such as Leonard Pitts Adam Serwer Tim Wise Thomas Sugrue Melissa Harris Parry Isabella Wilkerson Jake Tapper Don Lemon Anderson Cooper Chris Cuomo agree that white christians are over represented as domestic terrorists
That tells you something right there
The Republican Party is DONE
I said a few days ago that Biden seems to have a pipeline of the solipsistic myths black people have long believed directly into his brain. That seems generally true of liberals and Democrats now. It probably won’t be long before we hear earnest pronouncements in The Atlantic about AIDS being spread in vending machines, Church’s Fried Chicken causing black men to be sterile, and sightings of the mother wheel.
To indulge Mrs. ic1000, I’ve been watching “CBS This Morning,” this morning. As a reminder to Sailer and his readers, the intersection between iSteve content and this Mainstream News organ is the null set.
In the wake of the Reichstag Insurrection, the consensus is unanimous: Our Democracy can only be saved by blocking the evil people from disseminating their bad ideas. Or stomping the UnAmerican people before they spew their evil tweets. Whichever.
Steve should get his “Best Of” set of essays on Amazon* before the witch-hunters get around to doing what they do best.
Freedom Of Speech is like a streetcar.

Finally, America has her own Ned Kelly!
Francis Fukuyama nailed it 28 years ago, except he got the hemisphere wrong:
“…a systematic illiberal and non-democratic alternative combining technocratic economic rationalism with paternalistic authoritarianism may gain ground in the Far East.”

Have you looked at the stock market valuations of companies whose revenue stream consist in hoarding illegitimately obtained info about their “users” (in the druggy sense)
Btw, Facebook says “if you use Whatsapp, we want all your details. For your own good”.
Whatsapp was originally about “privacy-enhanced messaging” and Facebook promised to not dick with that. Sic transit!
Captain America.
It is. Nobody believes in it without exceptions or qualification. Should whites believe in it? As an ideal, yes. But if the choice is between censorship and extinction, no.
I wrote it months ago- if Minneapolis had been burned to the ground by pro-Trump rioters, the streets would have been littered with dozens or hundreds of dead protesters shot by the national guard. The left in this country has no objections to shooting such people.
I have seen the term “our democracy” incessantly this week and wonder what all it means. And to whom.
I gather that there has been a threat to it, that it is barely alive and needs resuscitation by a massive infusion of something not specifically identified. I am a little concerned about “our republic”
There is little value in continuing to point out the disparities between reality and the ‘woke” tall tales of Gentle Giants, peaceful protests, etc.
The woke are impervious to facts, fairness, and reality. Trying to show them the error of their ways is akin to pissing in the wind.
Hard to peacefully coexist with someone who worships a god without reason or shame.
Peaceful separation is the only way forward.
He’s right. Imagine the carnage wrought if an equally large group of antifa/blms had (mostly peaceful) aired their grievances. They probably would have burned the whole thing down.
I believe a BBQ restaurant owner was killed in Louisville after firing at National Guardsmen, but I’m not 100% sure that he was a “protestor”.

These obviously stupid takes are actually quite sinister.
Since essentially nothing happened but a symbolic incursion with some light brawling and heavy leaping, the universal take is a psyop that:
a. rewrites BLM riots as exceptionally repressive of blacks instead of exceptionally indulgent of rioters, and
b.explicitly associates through linguistic programming the Capitol protest with violence against black people when there was precisely none of that.
So the mind-fogged masses will now forever associate the protest with violence against blacks, which then justifies any totalitarian response.
It’s a dumb message obviously and only a moron like Evans or Kamala would believe it, but this engine runs on morons.
Shut up, Chris. You’re just another cog in the Shitty Superhero Movie machine.
OT, but in Illinois:
Sounds pretty racist, but they will accidentally have to save some white bodies. Meanwhile, I have it from a reliable source that the Cook County Jail is immunizing people (at least guards). The city gets their shipments directly:
The city is the city.
That’s pretty typical leftist thinking: rather than compare the actual data they do have of the two events – which for the Black Lives Matter riots should be copious – they compare it to a hypothetical.
How many unarmed women with a wall between her and the cop, and with two SWAT officers literally right behind her – were shot in the neck and murdered during BLM? Exactly zero.
Interesting how diversity leads to boxes…. and if you don’t walk into the box yourself, somebody else will “sort” you.
That guy who put his foot on Pelosi’s desk and scrawled the bitch mesage on her desk looks like someone if given the right environment would lead a violent riot aimed at Jews. This is why it’s so important to harshly punish thousands of rioters.
Biden is reading what is written for him. He has no memory of the protests this summer or even his own Presidential campaign. At some point before he is pushed out of office we can expected Sleepy Joe to promote the “We was Kangz” myth.
OT, Chicago Mayor lori lightfoot has ordered Chicago teachers to show up for classroom teaching on Monday. Those teacher that don’t comply will receive no pay going forward from Monday. I am willing to bet that at least one teacher shows up in full PPE gear, including a breathing apparatus and that hundreds of teachers call in sick after one day in class.

Holy crap!
Mayor Lori Lightfoot did something intelligent.
WHAT KIND OF BIZARRO WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN????
Don’t forget those “special” SSN to tell employers not to hire blacks.
Slave ships on tea bottles…
How many? Not enough.
Biden’s exponentially increasing knowledge and crediting of the mythos of black grievance over his public life just so happens to coincide with the increasing importance of blacks as part of the Democratic party’s coalition and is also inversely proportional to the share of the white working class vote received by the Democratic party over time.
Funny how that works, eh?
As Steve notes, the real schism occurred in Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, when Democrats learned that they could win the White House with a declining share of the white working class vote – once Democrats thought they didn’t need them to win, they let loose with what they really thought about white proles and resentment for having had to moderate in the past due to the white working class.
Just think of the carnage had they not been white.
Yep.
They would have burned down the building.
Don’t forget the menthol cigarettes!
How dumb, self-absorbed, brain-addled by minoritarianism do you have to be to believe that?
How many orders of magnitude better is the authoritarian rule of the ChiCom creeps for the typical Han Chinese than the authoritarian rule of American “elites” is for the typical white American?
Both are self-interested creeps. But there is a difference:
In furtherance of their rule and looting the Chicoms seem intent on making the Chinese nation ever stronger and in the process Chinese people more prosperous.
In furtherance of their rule and looting the American “elite” seem intent on destroying the historic American nation and immiserating actual Americans and their posterity.
Oh, I doubt that Chris Evans would get to keep his “Captain America” gig if he tweeted anything else.
Maybe he really believes it.
If so, that’s yet another example of Orwell’s “protective stupidity.”
Or, as Jonathan Swift put it: “It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.”
Has Ashli Babbitt’s executioner been named?
That’s impossible.
After Crackdown/2020 only scientifically accurate, socially just & valuable, and committee-of-the-wise-and-diverse-approved facts & stats will make it into prolefeed streams.
Steve, you should run one of your polls to guess what’s going to happen between now and the 20th.
Why wouldn’t they? The whole point of Democrats us to reduce White people to starvation so their food goes to China.
Thats it. Thats the plan.
Yeah, the old “not a suicide pact” school of thought was maligned unfairly in the interim from the marvy 1960s of legend till Nov. 9, 2016, The Day The ‘60s Died (I realize the court decision was provisionally pro-suicide in that case).
The loudest “free speech” agitprop has always been self-serving and trumpeted from the egomaniacal tech-capitalist corner (I realize I am typing this on Unz.com).
FIFY
In furtherance of their rule and looting the Chicoms seem intent on making the American “elite” destroy the historic American nation and immiserate actual Americans and their posterity.
It is almost as if the American elite are useful idiots for the Chicoms.
The police might accidentally have kneeled into dog shit?
A large portion of our nation lives in an ideological reality and no amount of facts and data seems capable of changing this. Convinced of their righteousness many even feel justified to eliminate any opposition. Voegelin saw this. When the possibility of transcendence is removed why should anyone be allowed to live who stands in the way of paradise on earth.
Many conservatives still haven’t realized this and keep trying to rationally present their positions. It’s a futile endeavor. It’s all about power. We must use it to secure the resources necessary for our survival.
Our advantage is that the ideological world doesn’t seem to require any skills to survive. Food magically appears in stores. Magic dirt provides safe neighborhoods.
People who can do productive things ought to be able to triumph over those who think that having correct beliefs is all that’s required for a prosperous country.
I think Chris Evans means if random gang bangers opened up randomly in a crowd of half a million people.
Thanks for the report. I am having trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that Twitter, Facebook and Google are just outright banning core political speech. This isn’t some “slippery slope” argument about extrapolating from banning the kkk to something that “really” matters.
They banned the f’in President of the US who just got half the vote to continue being president. They are using their control of the lines of communication to silence one side in the election for the most powerful single position in the world. Political censorship just doesn’t get any more salient or direct.
And as you pointed out the media. These people who make their living on political speech, someone’s even publishing illegally obtained material are cheering it on. Compared to the coverage of the BLM, occupy etc, it’s just night and day.
A surprising thing about this (on top of Russia investigation, BLM and Corona lockdown hype) is that I have become a snowflake and I now have more respect for that oft ridiculed phrase “I can’t even!”. I finally got there myself and I can’t get myself to listen to the news, or even visit news sites let alone be in the same room with an MSM TV news channel. It’s currently beyond my ability to not get angry other than to stay away. v.weird. I never thought I’d be one of these people. (I’ll still search for an article or two to try figure out what’s really happening on a particular topic, but in general I have to stay away)
I think guess the manyears of jail time for the capital hill riot. My guess is 1,000 men for an average of ten years or 10,000 man years. The dems are going to re legalize water boarding.
Every left-of-center person in the country is droning on about how if BLM protestors had stormed into the Capitol they wouldn’t have been given the kid-gloves (!) treatment that these white “insurrectionists” were given. Well, that’s true in a sense – they wouldn’t have been called “insurrectionists”, and wouldn’t have been shot to death like Ashli Babbitt was.
None-the-less, apart from that, would these liberals care to make this interesting?
I’m sure it won’t be long before BLM activists start to grumble about the new regime hedging and stalling on the black agenda, at least where it conflicts with the dictates of the Democratic party’s neo-liberal paymasters. What if BLM should then storm and occupy the Capitol? Let’s see how the Congress and the Capitol Police react then.
Another thing they are saying is, when you point out that BLM/Antifa rioted all across the country for three solid months – looting, assaulting people, burning down whole city blocks – and that no Democratic office-holders voiced any objections, they will say: well, taking over the Capitol is different – it’s the symbol of our Republic – the “People’s House”.
Spare me. There is nothing sacred about this building – not anymore for sure. The people can barely even get into the place since 9/11. It’s ringed with bollards, barriers, and guards with MP-5s. Forty years ago, you could walk right in – I don’t even think they had metal detectors. Now to enter it is to submit oneself to the probing hands of the national security state.
And “The People’s House” is full of people who don’t represent “The People”. They are hirelings beholden to moneyed-interests who assent to 5,000 page bills that no single person has read, and that are written by lobbyists and congressional staffers (also known as future-lobbyists).
This pearl-clutching about “The People’s House” is horses**t. The Capitol is a whorehouse.
Not enough. We endured a spring and summer of looting, burning, and destruction of businesses and livelihoods thanks to feckless mayors in our largest cities. The fools that stormed the Capitol seemed to think they would be granted the same consequence-free license to do what they wanted, and should have known better.
Can the resident History Channel geniuses predict Biden’s coming Night of Long Knives? Such as who will go the way of Ernst Rohm and whether he will commit ritualistic auto-erotic self cancellation or just be summarily deplatformed. Perhaps Antifa and BLM be brought to heel and absorbed into Big Tech’s new security forces. Or mass purges of suspect military officers. They will borrow from many playbooks to neutralize internal enemies and cover their tracks.
This is a logical step from adopting ebonic speech.
“Perhaps Antifa and BLM be brought to heel and absorbed into Big Tech’s new security forces.”
My pet theory is that Antifa is just the armed faction of the Teachers, Professors, ect Union.
So, “absence of violence” is “presence of violence”?
Look out for shopped blacks with bloodies faces once Facebook allows posting images of the CAPITOL CARNAGE AND RANSACKMENT of 2021 again.
It does not seem to have been mentioned anywhere much, but there is more than one protest march planned for January. January 21 is to be the March for Reparations.

Why do you and Steve expect this to happen? Why would it ever happen? Why would it need to? What pressure would cause it to happen? As I have attempted to educate you, SA-type thug bands are standard in communist countries. A few years back we got a modern reminder in Dan Ortega’s Nicaragua, where anti-regime protesters and non-protesting students were subjected to a kind of official antifa.
She raises some interesting points I haven’t heard elsewhere.

Dear Miya Ponsetto, You Can Be Latinx & Still Be A Karen
<blockquote>But even with the lingering threat of police involvement before her arrest, Ponsetto wasn’t afraid to use her whiteness as a weapon again — this time, sheltering it with her Latinidad. In a video that circulated on January 2, a reporter caught Ponsetto exiting a Mcdonald’s in California and asked her a few questions surrounding the assault. “Are you worried that the police are looking for you,” the reporter asked. “Are you concerned about the warrant for the arrest? Why did you do it? [Harrold] ‘s young.” With an unworried expression on her face, Ponsetto turned towards the camera and quickly interjected. “I’m actually 22, so I don’t know what the problem is here — and I’m also Puerto Rican, so thank you,” Ponsetto claimed.

Meanwhile, back here in the real world, the Supreme Court is poised to determine whether or not the Fuzz can compel you (how?) to relinquish your phone passwords. Maybe they’ll just get Apple and Google to furnish them?
Anyway, the Supreme Court is about to change, permanently. Next month, when Chief Justice Stacey Abrams convenes the new 15-member Court, the decision will come down that if you’re considered racist, you have no rights which any Government is bound to recognize anyway, so the case is moot. It’s right there in the Constitution, racists. Somewhere toward the back.

Not really. By virtue of the ethical principal known as negating disparate impact, the age at which negroes receive the vaccine must be lower than the age for whites, say 65 for whites and, given their proclivity towards obesity and/or poor hygiene, 40 for negroes.
David McAttee, a black Louisville man, was killed by National Guard bullets, though he does not appear to have been protesting or rioting at all.

Pro-Trump white woman with no criminal record and not a menace shot by police during a protest: nothing. Not even Trump appears to have said anything about it (although, he has no Twitter now, so I guess he can’t communicate as he mostly twits…).

The real atrocity here is that they have been receiving pay up to now. Pay derived from taxes, which depend on the businesses that these same geniuses ordered to close.

Recently trolls seem to be the first to respond to a post. In the same way that electronic trades always beat out the trades of carbon-based lifeforms. I’ve also noticed that some of the posts seem to be made by algorithms (insulting responses that don’t address the context of the post to which they respond). Any website can be easily played, and especially one like Unz.com that wants to hear the comments of its readers. The moderators should have a meeting and try to figure out ways to filter the comments.

Well said SBS.
The division is not what we think of as ordinary politics–arguing about taxes, schools, roads, welfare provision, subsidies, bureaucracy, even war and peace.
The division is really core politics–having a polity. One side thinks there is this actual nation “America” that they are proud/happy to be a part of. The other side is determined to wreck it–insufficiently minoritarian!–in favor of something new and global and colorful and not so prosaically national.
You can’t share a nation with people who hate the nation.

Yes, you are correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_David_McAtee
He fired two shots, but it is not clear why. Perhaps by that point everyone had become so hysterical about Breonna Taylor that even a respectable business owner like McAtee viewed the authorities as enemies.
I’m trying to reduce the last six or so years to its simplest elements:
A leftist religious fervor has been growing for many decades and has now reached a critical mass in the West. It is totalitarian in nature. Nearly all in power are part of this movement and now wish to enforce their new order. The future will involve the elite further bending the dejure rules to enforce a defacto New America.
I’m not big on conspiracy theories – and it has nothing to do with defending the Joos. I just think people organize more like ants. One large, cultural brain acting on subconscious messaging. As an example, they really believe in their equality fantasy. That’s why so many Jews marry Blacks; they drink their own Kool-Aide.
I live in Seattle and can say we’re beyond the point where facts matter. It’s just about power now. The best you can do is mock people. You can’t argue with religious people but humorous mockery can make a dent. (And it’s self satisfying).
Regarding the shootings, in the New America shooting a Black isn’t the same as shooting a White. Dejure but not defacto. There are other factors at play too – see Kyle Rittenhouse.
With the Senate locked up we’ll soon see where this all goes. I believe their plan is to drag us into their New America kicking and screaming. No debate. No concessions. They’re our betters and we’re ignorant non-believers. This is just the beginning.
Almost all racial violence is done by blacks. In addition, backs are 13% of the population but do 55% (or more) of violent crime.
I gotta say I pretty much agree with that analysis. The ethnic displacement that ‘just happened’ was not wanted by tens of millions of whites. Probably a majority of white people think that that the infestation of aliens was done to them. The invasion has drastically altered our politics. The displaced, the white working class whom the elite call deplorables is waking up to class and racial consciousness. Much like the professional-managerial class has realized it has class interests in the looting of America, whites are starting to realize that they too have a race, a class, and group interests.
The elite have a problem. The deplorables are absolutely vital to the country. They keep the electricity flowing through the wires, the water going in and the sewage going out of every rich blue city. The ‘new Americans’ do not have abilities that are vital.
The pro-man class decided that they could decouple their interests from the factory workers by moving manufacturing to Asia. They cannot decouple from the whites who manage the infrastructure because the immigrants’ talents do not lie in those areas. The Asians have mostly been imported for brainy work. They do not become plumbers, though some I’m sure are engineers designing water systems. The Hispanics are, on the whole, a mix between the runner up to the most third-world lime Europeans (the Greeks win that contest, if southern Italy were a country, they might tie them) and indigenous Neolithic corn-growing peasants who never figured out wheels. The Hispanics can’t keep the lights on. Blacks have been utter failures in the trades. Whether it is personality, IQ, or some other factor intrinsic to blacks, they will never be a responsible working class. The Hindu and muslim bunch of Indians have little technical ability. They don’t do manual labor, at least the castes that have been thrust upon us so far.
The deplorables are vital to the economy, but probably could wage a guerilla war. Even a small fraction could do terrible damage and scare the shit out of Jews. If five million, at least the right five million, of the deplorables decided the government is illegitimate, then the country would be ungovernable. But the elites have not figured out how to decouple themselves from the deplorables.
I am not quite sure why the elite are surprised that the white working class is developing class consciousness. Like if you’re a black in an all black village in village in Africa and everyone you have ever seen is black, you do not really think of yourself as black. You probably think of yourself as a member of your ethnicity or your village or your family,,, if a whole city from Japan plops it’s ass down next to your village, you will probably notice that you do look like or behave like these newcomers. You might realize that your village manioc farms compete with the new city for water. You will start to realize that everyone in your village has stuff in common with each other that you don’t share with the Japanese newcomers. You will start to see that you have racial and economic interests that coincide with other Africans and compete with the interests of the Japanese.
That’s all that is happening. The racial catastrophe that hit America is starting to have an impact on whites. Many whites realize they have interests in common with each other that are not the interests of non-whites. This is terrifying for the elite and wanna-be elite.
I wonder whether driving deplorables out of social media will have the effects that they want. The deplorables will move to new platforms. The media’s constant verbal war on whites will drive more people to the white-friendly platforms. They won’t be able to resist riling up their followers, which will make people constantly aware that there are communities where they are not hated for being white. Many whites will come to the dissident side of politics.
My biggest worry about the WN crew is IQ. The great sorting took a lot of very smart people out of the working and lower classes. To hear peopke tell, the sorting today is much less efficient. It is easier to study for SAT, the MCAT does not sort people in the top 2%… rumor has it that colleges discriminate against conservative white teenagers. I really hope they do. The more intelligent people we have, the easier it will be to recover. Maybe the dissident/WN side can produce a better elite than the con men, looters, and grifters of the Republican Party,
tl;dr the increase in diversity makes whites more conscious of their common interests and declining influence politically, as the left has broken democracy with immigration. The seemingly insane black view that the Capitol protest was rooted in whiteness is pretty accurate, and white racial consciousness is terrifying for blacks, the elite, and especially Jews. They see great danger, and it is there,
Retired general advocates purge of Trump supporters from the military:

If you want to stay anonymous, AJ, I would recommend not stating where you live, or giving out too many details about your situation, occupation, etc. Be careful.
And, by the way, good comment. Well said.
I disagree. The situation is complicated. Many law enforcement must be non-leftists, but are also disposed to do what their superiors tell them. I think it is telling that the guard who shot Ashli in the Capitol was black.
If you can get angry, it means you are still free. When you learn to suppress your instincts and emotions to keep your job or stay out of jail, then you know we have hit rock bottom.
60 injured officers, 1 dead police officer.
Joe Biden’s immediate response , call the police racist and say they would have treated a BLM protest differently.
I guess all those injured and dead police officers had what was coming to them – the racists.
How many cops are going to take being called racist much longer?
Even if they are killed in the line of duty, the President-Elect of the United States will call them racist.
If you click on my name and take even the most cursory look at my comment history, going all the way back to 2012, I think you’ll soon see that you are mistaken. Heck – if you’re really diligent, you can find identifying information on me [complete with picture!], as I was doxed by an extremely bad actor in the comments on one of RKU’s posts, and, last I checked, he never took it down.
As for the issue at hand: at the moment, I can think of only two GOP senators for whom I feel anything but contempt: Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. And exactly two GOP-appointed justices of the supreme court: Clarence Thomas & Samuel Alito. The rest can go hang themselves for all I care.
For many years, Peter Hitchens argued that it was the Tories, rather than Labour, who were the biggest obstacle to the formation of a genuine conservative resistance to the death of Britain. Can anyone still doubt that he was right? I have slowly, painfully, come around to the same conclusion about the role of the Republicans in the U.S.
To which of the second through eighth circles of Hell should the likes of Schumer & Pelosi & the Biden’s & the Clinton’s be consigned? It would be amusing to speculate! But there can be no question where Romney & Sasse & the Bush’s & the McCain’s belong: the ninth circle, the circle of the betrayers, the circle of Judas Iscariot, embedded forever in the ice that burns like fire.
All true. I would add this:
Money wields political power. In my lifetime Money has gone from conservative to leftist in its cultural politics. Culture wars help Money divide and conquer the working middle class.
Smart, determined minorities win in politics. It can be racial groups, sex groups, issue groups. The only smart single-minded minority on the right are gun owners, and they have done a reasonably good job of protecting their interests so far. The Left, meanwhile, has many majority-hating minority interests and they are smart and well-organized (see Money) and relentless.
The religious fervor isn’t a spontaneous groundswell. Money and Minority Activists have manufactured this.
Is this true?
Did a MAGA protestor intentionally kill a cop?
Tonto, lightfoot realized that her base is sick of the kids being home all day,every day and she wants a second term.
At the time I wrote that, press reports were that this cop – Brian D. Sicknick – had been beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.
I actually had my doubts, but kept quiet. My reasons:
1. He supposedly walked back to his office, only being taken to the hospital later. There are injuries that could account for that, but it could also suggest that his death was caused later, by something else.
2. He was in the New Jersey National Guard, “108th Security Force Squadron, 108th Wing”. Conspiracy theory lunatics will tell you that “aces and eights” is a numerological marker used by intelligence agencies when they’re planting a fake story in the press. That’s hardly dispositive, but since we ought to be extra-skeptical of the reporting on this event, for obvious reasons, it jumped out at me.
Subsequently reports are more confused: I’ve read that he died somehow from the chemical agent in a fire extinguisher, that he had a stroke, and that his family was saying he died of some medical problem, rather than being killed by protestors.
So to answer your question, I have no idea.
