It’s Wednesday morning and nobody has heard a peep from prominent black leaders like the Obamas and Oprah, starting to smell a rat yet Deplorables?

Who is Funding and Organizing the Antifa Insurrection?

Via American Greatness

Someone is organizing criminals and vandals to loot and destroy cities but the corporate media don’t seem all that interested in getting to the bottom of it. In fact, Democrats and their allies in the MSM have been actively engaging in misdirection, lamely accusing white supremacists of being behind the mayhem plaguing “peaceful protests.”

A looter who was caught by the police in Santa Monica on Sunday was very candid with a local reporter when he was asked about his motive.

The man told FOX 11’s Bill Melugin that he wasn’t actually protesting police brutality but was “point blank” just doing it “to get some money.”

“That’s it, just trying to get some dough, that’s it,” he said.

A group of looters broke into the store and began to flee, and as they got into a car, one of them wasn’t fast enough and was left behind by his group. Police were able to catch him, and he was taken into custody.

When asked if his actions were related to what happened in Minnesota, the man said it might have a little bit to do with that, but “not really, I’m out here for “the dough.”

When asked if it was worth it, the man said “obviously not,” while turning to show the reporter his cuffed hands behind his back.

“If you’re going to get some money, do it right. Don’t do it the dumb way. Do it the smart way,” he added.

Melugin ended the interview without asking the looter any additional questions—like who organized this? Were you paid to come out here and loot?

“Thanks for your time. Best of luck to you,” the reporter said.

On Monday, a restaurant owner in Santa Monica told CBS LA that the looters who hit his business traveled in SUVs and were “very well organized.”

“They were very well organized, they came with duffel bags, SUVs,” Jeffrey Merrihue, the owner of Heroic Italian Restaurant, said.  “They went from shop to shop. They went in, cleared out with full duffel bags, another SUV would pull up. It was very impressive actually, to be honest.”

Merrihue, who opened his restaurant for business on Monday despite his losses and damages, said he had cell phone video  showing the looters in action.

“The vandals broke in, stole our cash machine, stole a few cases of wine,” he said.

Santa Monica Police said over 400 arrests were made last night on charges included looting, violation of curfew, burglary, and assault. According to police, the vast majority, 95%, were not residents.

“They would go to the Nike store, this store, they were just telling each other where to go,” said Sunnin Lebanese Cuisine owner Nicole Chammaa.

Chammaa said looters and vandals got into her Lebanese restaurant, damaged her furniture and decor, and got away with two cash registers full of cash.

A police chief in Bellevue Washington, which was also hit by looting and violence Sunday night, said he thinks the people responsible were organized, from out of town, and being paid.

“There are groups paying these looters money to come in and they’re getting paid by the broken window,” Bellevue’s Police Chief Steve Mylett told KIRO 7.

Obamagate and the race riots

Via WorldNetDaily

Isn’t it interesting that Black Lives Matter and Antifa anarchists launched a national campaign of mayhem and rioting at the start of the weekly news cycle in which the fully exculpatory Michael Flynn transcripts were finally released to the public? The trigger, was, of course, the outrageous and possibly deliberate George Floyd killing, conveniently carried out in full public view and captured on video for instantaneous social media virality. I predicted on April 22 that the elites would orchestrate a new crisis as soon as it looked like America would regain her equilibrium, and it seems this may be it, or at least the first salvo in a new campaign of chaos.

The main purpose of the rioting, as was true of the now-waning COVID-19 Plandemic, is to spread fear. Fear is what keeps a sizable portion of the American people “sheltered-in-place,” and that phenomenon of social destabilization is the key to preventing economic recovery. An orchestrated economic depression is, of course, the cornerstone of the elites’ plan for taking down President Trump (which I again predict will fail).

That’s what this season of Psy-Ops, with all its disinformation, propaganda and political intrigue, has always been about from its very beginning, when Barack Obama first began to realize that Trump could actually beat Hillary, thanks to the sabotage of the HRC campaign and the DNC by Bernie zealot Seth Rich, the Wikileaker whistleblower who was (I opine) murdered in broad daylight for that act of treachery.

The timing of the rioting, and his immediate, highly inflammatory public statement, betrays the hand of Barack Obama behind it all. I predicted that also in my WND column of Jan. 3, 2017. I compared Obama’s actions between the Trump election and inauguration to Hitler’s sabotage of France’s Cherbourg harbor just after D-Day in WWII. I then noted that Obama had taken the highly irregular step of setting up his own post-presidency political base in Washington, D.C. I closed with this prediction: “I have no doubt that Obama is planning his own Battle of Bloody Gulch [Hitler’s Cherbourg counter-offensive after the Americans had taken the city and began pushing east toward Germany] but one which he assumes he will win.

Megalomaniacs cannot surrender graciously. Backed by armies of social justice warriors on the streets and in the hardened leftist bunkers of media, academia and big-money foundations, Obama will fight like a cornered rat to protect his legacy and it’s underlying ideology. Be certain of it, and never stop fighting until freedom has been restored.”

Assaulted and Vilified, the Cops Save the Cities

By Patrick J. Buchanan

Query: How does “systemic racism” permeate a blue state dominated for decades by liberal Democrats? What explains the failure of Democrats who have long run Minnesota to root out racism?

On the fifth night of rioting, looting and arson in Minneapolis, the criminal elements were driven from the streets.

By whom? By the same cops who had been the constant objects of media derision and mob hatred.

Without the thin blue line, far larger sectors of dozens of America’s cities would be in ruins, burned to the ground by the mobs that showered police and their vehicles with rocks, bricks, bottles, Molotov cocktails and any debris that could be thrown at them.

Because they were the first responders in these riots, the cops were the first targets of criminal assault and the last line of defense of the law-abiding.

Wherever they had to draw back or pull back, anarchy ensued.

Consider the decision of Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Medaria Arradondo to surrender and abandon the 3rd Precinct. As police cars pulled out and the cops fled, the exhilarated rabble invaded, pillaged and burned the precinct.

And America saw, in astonishment, a triumph of anarchy.

One wonders what the world thought as it, too, watched.

Now, consider the political coloration of Minneapolis.

Frey, who ordered the surrender, is a far-left Democrat. Gov. Tim Walz is a liberal Democrat, as are both U.S. senators including Amy Klobuchar. Minneapolis Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is a soul sister of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Minnesota was the political home of Vice Presidents Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale and Senators Eugene McCarthy and Paul Wellstone, liberal icons all. The state has not voted Republican for president since 1972. Even Ronald Reagan never carried Minnesota.

Yet, of his home state, this citadel of liberalism, Walz said last week, “Systemic racism must be addressed if we are to secure, justice, peace and order for all Minnesotans.”

Query: How does “systemic racism” permeate a blue state dominated for decades by liberal Democrats? What explains the failure of Democrats who have long run Minnesota to root out racism?

Why have liberals failed to exorcise racism where they rule? Are even good Minnesota liberals infected with the virus?

‘You get out of my way’: Truck driver brandishes gun and plows through protesters on Tulsa highway

Via The Washington Examiner

Video posted to social media over the weekend shows a red pickup truck plowing through a crowd of protesters in Oklahoma.

Mike Collier, the chief meteorologist at KJRH in Tulsa, posted a short video clip Sunday of the truck driving through the crowd while towing what appears to be a horse trailer. The protesters were on Interstate 244 in Tulsa.

The truck briefly stops as protesters hurl objects at the vehicle, bang on its windows, and scream at the driver.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokeswoman told the Tulsa World that two people suffered minor injuries and that local police are investigating the incident.

The driver eventually stopped and spoke with police who responded to the scene.

“They spoke to him at the scene, and there was an agreement to meet away from the location to talk to him to get him away from that volatile situation,” the police spokeswoman said. “We wouldn’t have even been able to talk to him there.”

A photographer for the Tulsa World reported seeing the driver of the truck placing a handgun on the dashboard of the vehicle at one point for the protesters to see.

“We let the silver car in front of them go because she had an emergency she had to get to, so we let her go,” one protester said.

Illinois moron, 28, first to be charged by feds for Minneapolis mayhem

Via The Smoking Gun

An Illinois man who traveled to Minnesota for some rioting and looting–some of which he broadcast on Facebook Live–has been charged in a federal criminal complaint for his involvement in the Minneapolis mayhem.

Matthew Lee Rupert, 28, is facing felony counts for possession of explosive devices and traveling across state lines to engage in the violent activities that have engulfed the Minnesota city in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody.

In a May 28 Facebook post, Rupert announced an impending trip from his home in Galesburg, a city 45 miles from Peoria, to Minnesota. “I’m going to Minneapolis tomorrow who coming only goons I’m renting hotel rooms,” wrote Rupert, according to an affidavit sworn by FBI Agent F.M. Stephens.

In subsequent Facebook videos–which were posted after Rupert arrived in Minneapolis–he “passes out explosives he indicates he possessed, encourages others to throw his explosives at law enforcement officers, actively damages property, appears to light a building on fire, and loots businesses in Minneapolis,” Stephens charged.

The affidavit states that Rupert, after noting the presence of SWAT trucks, declared, “I’ve got some bombs if some of you all want to throw them back…bomb them back.” Later Friday night, Rupert allegedly used a pry tool to break into a boarded-up liquor store, looted an Office Depot, and reported setting a fire at a Sprint store.

On Sunday, Rupert (seen above and at right) had relocated to Chicago, where he was heard on video “saying things to the effect of ‘let’s start a riot’ and ‘I’m going to start doing some damage.” In one Facebook post, Rupert declared that, “we can loot until 2:30.”

Video on his Facebook page shows Rupert entering a looted downtown Chicago business and announcing that he had spotted a cash register inside. He is then seen going into a nearby convenience store that had been broken into and stealing “what appear to be tobacco products.”

Rupert and several associates were arrested around 2:20 AM yesterday by Chicago cops for violating the city’s emergency curfew order. A search of Rupert’s car yielded “several destructive devices,” a hammer, and a heavy-duty flashlight. Rupert’s girlfriend told police that his crew had traveled to Minneapolis “in order to ‘riot,’” according to Agent Stephens.

Nike Releases Commemorative Shoe To Honor Looters

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

BEAVERTON, OR—Nike has released a commemorative shoe to honor those looting and burning down buildings across the country.

The Nike Loot Force One comes packed with features the company says will help people loot safely and efficiently. From cushioned soles to make sure you make it through shattered windows without getting your feet cut to a detachable swoosh that can be thrown at business owners or police officers like a Batarang, the shoe is the ideal footwear for those looking to incite violent riots and also coincidentally get some free stuff.

“We stand in solidarity with those looting stores and getting free stuff to show how much they care about justice,” said a Nike representative. “To that end, we are releasing this $250 pair of shoes some Chinese lady made for 30 cents.”

Nike has asked looters, though, to respect Nike stores while wearing the Loot Force Ones. “Please don’t steal our shoes while you loot — let’s just say you should ‘target’ other major corporations.”
