The 'Oxford Black Panther' behind Britain's first black-led political party vows to make white men 'our slaves'

Sasha Johnson, a BLM leader, has set up a new party that will exclude white people from leadership roles and tweeted about 'enslaving whites'. She's just a young, female, black version of old white racists she says she's fighting.

Another day has dawned in Britain, and with it yet another ridiculous demand from the intersectional left. During a Million Person March (attended, er, by around 400 people) in London, a BLM leader announced they would be forming the first black-led political party in Britain. This party will be called the Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP), which as names go makes Change UK look like a triumph of branding. Catchy names used to at least be something lefties could manage, the Khmer Rouge, the Baader-Meinhof Gang, the Tooting Popular Front etc., but I digress.

Though this party will be "black led," it will be a party for the "working class," so quite why the racial aspect is necessary if this is a class-based movement is anybody's guess, but it probably has something to do with the person who announced its formation.

US has world's most-overpriced and lowest quality medical care - Lancet study

hospital beds
The medical journal, The Lancet, is one of the world's Big Three scientific journals of medicine; that's the triumvirate of authorities for physicians worldwide, and the other two are the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the New England Journal of Medicine. On August 27th The Lancet published "Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories". Here is the visual that's in it, which shows the United States as having, by far, the world's costliest medical care, at around $9,000 per person per year, and yet as having lower quality of health care than virtually all other industrialized nations do:

Here is another such study, showing the same thing, and calculating it more simply:

Sheriff's deputies shoot, kill Dijon Kizzee in LA after he dropped handgun during altercation

Two Los Angeles deputies reportedly shot and killed a black man Monday after the department said a scuffle occurred and a gun was spotted.

The incident occurred after two deputies attempted to stop the man for breaking vehicle codes while riding a bicycle, the LA Times reported. He dropped the bike and tried to run, Sheriff's Lt. Brandon Dean said according to the Associated Press.

The officers caught up with the individual and the man, reportedly identified as 29-year-old Dijon Kizzee, punched one in the face, Dean said. A pile of clothes was dropped during the fight and a handgun was spotted, prompting officers to shoot, according to Dean.

"Our suspect was holding some items of clothing in his hands, punched one of the officers in the face and then dropped the items in his hands," Dean said according to CBS-LA. "The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semiautomatic handgun, at which time a deputy-involved shooting occurred."

Kizzee died and was identified by family at the scene according to CBS-LA. No deputies were injured and the handgun in question was recovered, per the AP.

Protesters gathered after the shooting and began calls for justice Monday. The scene became tense at times, according to reports. A crowd of over 100 people marched to a sheriff's station, where some vandalism appeared to occur. An unlawful assembly was announced as well, according to reports.

Anger in LA after black man shot by deputies; police say victim was carrying a gun
BLM demonstrators flocked to a site in South Los Angeles where a black man was shot and killed by deputies of the LA County Sheriff's Department. The man was filmed running from the officers and reportedly had a gun on him.

The shooting happened on Monday after midday in the area of Budlong Avenue and 109th Place. According to the Sheriff's Department, deputies were driving in a patrol car when they saw the man riding a bicycle, and decided to pull him over for a traffic violation. He left the bike and tried to run away.

When the deputies caught up with him, he fought back and punched one of them in the face. At that moment they spotted a handgun among some clothing items that the man had been carrying and dropped on the ground during the fight. It was not immediately clear if he tried to reach for the weapon before the deputies shot him, the department said in a statement to the media.

The confrontation was filmed on a phone by an eyewitness, though the footage available on social media doesn't include the moment of the shooting itself.

WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO


The series of short clips first shows a black man running in the street. It then goes to a moment after the shooting, showing two police officers with their handguns drawn and the shooting victim lying motionlessly. Witnesses are heard screaming while the cameraman says: "They shot [him] like 20 times."

The police would not immediately release the name of the shooting victim, but his family and the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter identified him as Dijon Kizzee, who was in his late 20s.


"How many more times do we have to gather out here, mourning the loss of our brothers and sisters," one protester told CBS LA.

The shooting is being investigated by the District Attorney's Office, the coroner's office and the sheriff's own Internal Affairs Bureau and inspector general.
Protesters lay siege to LA sheriff's office as cops declare unlawful assembly
Riot police have declared an unlawful demonstration after a large group of angry protesters gathered outside the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office following a police shooting of a black man.

The man was shot by sheriff's deputies on Monday shortly after midday, after he allegedly assaulted one of the deputies as they tried to arrest him. The officers claim the man was in possession of a handgun, though eyewitness footage of the incident is, so far, inconclusive.

He was named by Black Lives Matter Los Angeles as Dijon Kizzee, though authorities have yet to confirm this is his real name.

Regardless, large crowds of protesters gathered in the area of Budlong Avenue and 109th Place, the scene of the shooting, where there were minor scuffles, before descending on a local sheriff's office, as video from the scene purports to show.

Police quickly declared the gathering unlawful and ordered the crowd - many of whom had Black Lives Matter flags, placards and banners - to disperse.


In some of the footage, irate protesters can be seen screaming "You have no soul motherf**ker" in the face of sheriff's deputies dressed in riot gear.



The situation remains tense, but there has not yet been any violence, rioting or looting as witnessed elsewhere in the US - such as Portland and Kenosha - during the current groundswell of anti-police protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody back in May.
'White Hispanic race soldier': Self-styled 'race-baiter' Tariq Nasheed plays identity card after Latino cop shoots black suspect
Film producer Tariq Nasheed's tweet implying that Hispanics are racist toward African Americans was met with ridicule and antagonism. He posted it after a Latino sheriff's deputy fatally shot a black man.

The self-described "race-baiter" tweeted on Monday about a "white Hispanic race soldier" killing a black man in Los Angeles the same day. In the post, Nasheed mocked the idea of a "black and brown coalition" standing up to racial oppression, appearing to imply that Latino and African American people are not on the same side of the struggle.


The tweet began trending in the US as it was undergoing severe online scrutiny.

Most commenters were simply taken aback by the use of the term 'white Hispanic', with which Nasheed tried to classify Latino people with lighter skin tone.



The producer was also accused of "attempting to incite a race war" for using the term "race soldier."

At the same time the concept of Latino anti-black racism did find some support online, with people postulating that "Hispanic is not a race" but an "ethnicity."

Besides his Twitter exploits, Nasheed is mainly known for producing documentary films on racism. He is sometimes accused of being a 'race-baiter', allegedly sensationalizing stories by focusing on their racial aspects. Nasheed tried to reclaim this moniker for himself, by saying he simply "baits racists and exposes them."

Best of the Web: The Vatican's Hell Hall: The Weird Mysteries of the Paul VI Audience Hall

dark images vatican hall pope francis
© Getty Images/AFPDarkness Visible: Eerie, shrieking skull-like faces seem to peer out menacingly from the base of 'La Resurrezione', an eight ton sculpture, as "Pope" Francis speaks during an audience on November 21, 2015 at the Paul VI Audience Hall at the Vatican.
Infernal Art and Architecture in the Vatican

G.K. Chesterton once referred to architecture as "the most practical and the most dangerous of the arts." When it comes to the dangerous part of the equation, church-related edifices built with Vatican II mandates in mind should all come with the spiritual equivalent of boarded-up doors and windows, and prominently-displayed "CONDEMNED — KEEP OUT!" signs.

One of the foremost offenders in this regard, and perhaps the creepiest looking of of all, has to be the 6300-seat snake-head-like Hall of the Pontifical Audiences. As construction on it was completed in 1971 during the ill-begotten reign of Giovanni Battista Montini ("Pope" Paul VI), the building is more popularly known as the Paul VI Audience Hall (or the Aula Paolo VI in Italian).

Inside, on the stage behind the seated "pope" is a massive artwork allegedly depicting the Resurrection of Christ. We say "allegedly" because, unlike in conventional renderings, there is no joy to be found in it, no angelic Alleluias! singing the praises of Our Lord's victory over the grave. Rather, it could more likely be taken for a glimpse into the horrors of hell or perhaps some tragic pagan epic, than it could pass for a scene of Easter glories. Both the hall and the sculpture will be treated in depth momentarily, but first it will be profitable to examine the Novus Ordo justification for such grotesqueries.

Flashback Antifa's American insurgency: The far-left has perfected the art of rioting

antifa
We are witnessing glimmers of the full insurrection the far-left has been working toward for decades. The killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis was merely a pre-text for radicals to push their ambitious insurgency. In a matter of hours, after the video of Floyd began circulating the internet, militant antifa cells across the country mobilized to Minnesota to aid Black Lives Matter rioters. Law enforcement and even the state National Guard have struggled to respond in Minnesota.

Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles, Dallas and Atlanta are just some of the other cities waking up and finding smoldering ruins where businesses once operated. Nearly 30 other cities experienced some form of mass protest or violent rioting. At least three people have been killed so far.

Antifa, the extreme anarchist-communist movement, has rioting down to an art. The first broken window is the blood in the water for looters to move in. When the looting is done, those carrying flammable chemicals start fires to finish the job. Footage recorded in Minneapolis and other cities show militants dressed in black bloc — the antifa uniform — wielding weapons like hammers or sticks to smash windows. You see their graffiti daubed on smashed up buildings: FTP means 'Fuck the Police'; ACAB stands for 'All Cops Are Bastards'; 1312 is the numerical code for ACAB.

Last night, rioters reached the gates of the White House, possibly the most secure location on Earth. There, they chipped away at the barriers piece-by-piece while law enforcement struggled to respond. One Secret Service officer reportedly had a brick thrown at his head. Footage recorded at the scene showed him blood-soaked. Police were eventually able to repel masked rioters by using pepper spray and tear gas. That worked, for now.

The militants uprising across the country want a revolution and they don't care who or what has to be destroyed in the process. If their comrades die, they are elevated as martyrs in propaganda. Death is celebrated.

Afghanistan releases nearly 200 Taliban in latest push for peace

Freed prisoners

The Afghan government released nearly 200 Taliban prisoners to spur the start of long-delayed peace negotiations, senior Afghan officials said on Wednesday.

The fresh releases are from a group of 400 "hardcore" Taliban prisoners, the fate of which has stalled peace negotiations between the government and insurgent group to end nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan.

This group of prisoners were released from the main jail in the capital Kabul on Monday evening and Tuesday at the same time six Afghan special forces members held by the Taliban were freed, the officials said.

"We want to finish the prisoner swap so we could start the peace process as soon as possible," said a senior government official, who declined to be name because of the sensitivity of the issue. A source close to the process said the prisoner swap could be finished by today.

Portland Mayer Wheeler moving to avoid rioters targeting his home - St. Louis mayor too!

ted wheeler apartment protest portland
© Screeshot/TwitterThe home of Portland’s Democrat mayor Ted Wheeler was swarmed by an angry Black Lives Matter mob shortly after he praised their “peaceful protests.”
The Democratic mayor of Portland, Ore., is moving from his $840,000 condo to avoid rioters who have repeatedly targeted the building, according to a report.

Ted Wheeler wrote to neighbors in his building to say it would be "best for me and for everyone else's safety and peace" for him to move from the building that rioters tried to torch on his 58th birthday Monday, according to The Oregonian.

"I want to express my sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position," Wheeler reportedly wrote, according to a screenshot of the email.


Comment: More like his unwillingness to actually use his position to arrest the rioters.


"It's unfair to all of you who have no role in politics or in my administration."

The mayor bought his two-bedroom condo in the building with 114 units for $840,000 in 2017, the paper said, citing property records. It has regularly been a scene of protests, with fireworks lit and lights shone on the building as fires also get lit in the street.

Wheeler has faced harsh criticism for his handling of the protests in the City of Roses for 97 consecutive nights since George Floyd's police-custody death in Minneapolis in May. He has sympathized with protesters, called for cops to refrain from arrests and also pledged to defund the police.

Comment: He's not the only one. Democratic St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson hasn't been living in her home for 2 months. She gave a similar excuse as Wheeler:
Another reason for the move was that "our neighbors were being disturbed and threatened," Krewson said, adding, "I ran for this job - my neighbors did not."
Maybe Democrats will realize these Antifa and BLM nutjobs aren't their friends. But we're not holding our breath!

A picture says 1,000 words. Look at the picture headlining this story. Diapered Joe. As opposed to largely Undiapered Donald. Whatever else can be said about the Orange Man, he has been signaling the virtue of not Diapering.

By not Diapering.

As at the RNC last week. As by not insisting that those attending Diaper - though some, to their great discredit, did anyhow. That's you, Rand Paul. Very disappointing given your father's example. Which you ought to have followed.

And which Donald did.

No Diaper. It sends a signal that all who oppose this Sickness Kabuki ought to have received. As opposed to the evil tidings foreboded by Diapered Joe. Who is signaling a personal commitment to impose what he has promised - by promising it. By doing it. A National Diaper Mandate.

No way out - or Hut! Hut! Hut!

If Joe wins, we lose. We're Diapered. And Needled - which is what Diapering is meant to lay the psychological ground for.

It is that simple.

Australia should be ashamed & appalled by this video of police handcuffing a pregnant woman for posting an anti-lockdown message

australia pregnant woman arrested lockdown facebook
© Twitter / @RitaPanahi
It may be 2020 everywhere else, but it's clearly 1984 in Victoria as Covid-19 non-conformists are rounded up & carted off to the station for trying to organize a protest. If this clip doesn't end the insanity, what the hell will?

Police in Victoria have found a new way to amuse themselves in the time of corona. What with Premier Dan Andrews placing the entire state under house arrest to stop them breathing the same air as anyone else, real crime has taken something of a back seat.

There is little point trying to burgle houses when people are prevented from leaving them by law and the paucity of people on the streets means that mugging is a bit of a no-no so the real wrong 'uns have taken some time off. This is slightly ironic considering everyone has to dress like they're about to hold up a post office thanks to the mask mandate, but c'est la nouveau vie.

Comment: The Post Millennial gives more details on the arrest:
As the officers enter her home, she says "You can show me your search warrant before you go through my house."

The officers let her know that she is under arrest "in relation to incitement."

"What on Earth? Excuse me, what on Earth?" Buhler asks, shocked, saying that she has "an ultrasound in an hour."

The officers explain, as they handcuff her and read her rights to her, that she's being arrested for incitement over a Facebook post about a protest to end the lockdown.

"And I wasn't breaking any laws by doing that," Buhler says.

"You are actually," the arresting officer says, "And that's why I'm arresting you."

The man of the house suggests that the officers should just ask her to take the post down, and Buhler says that she would be "happy to delete the post," adding that the situation was "ridiculous."

He goes on to suggest that she can also not do the event, since it hasn't even happened as yet. But the officer instead continues the arrest, stating "we believe you are committed to it."

The officers go on to state their intention to seize all computers and mobile devices in the home as Buhler breaks down in tears.

"Any device in this house, we're taking," the officers say.

The event was called Freedom Day Ballarat, and was to be held on Saturday at 11 am in Ballarat, Victoria. The post stated that the protest was intended to be peaceful, to follow all social distancing measures "so we don't get arrested."

"September 5 is FREEDOM DAY!" It read. "As some of you may have seen the government has gone to extreme measures and are using scare tactics through the media to prevent the Melbourne protest.

"Here is Ballarat we can be a voice for those in stage 4 lockdowns. We can be seen and heard and hopefully make a difference!"

It calls for an end to the lockdowns, and to stand for human rights, noting that Australia is a "'FREE' COUNTRY!"
pregnant woman australia arrest post
A Facebook search reveals that it has since been removed.
This was classified as a call to incitement, and police, who many have said are guilty of drastically overreaching their power, entered a woman's home and arrested her for a social media post wherein she wished to assert her freedom in a free country.

The Victoria Police gave a statement that said they were aware of the gathering, and that "Any gathering of this nature is in blatant breach of the Chief Health Officer's directions and puts Victorian lives at risk."

Yahoo! News reported that the officers intend to arrest the others involved in organizing the protest, which is in violation of directives from the Chief Health Officer.
Police appear to be oblivious to the impact of their actions, expressing themselves as 'satisfied' with the raid and arrest. The public, not so much :
In a message likely to further stir up public outrage, Victoria police insisted officers, who put an expecting mother in restraints over an anti-lockdown post, acted "reasonably" - although she described it in chilling terms.

Victoria state police responded to the mounting outrage on Thursday, with Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius confirming he has seen the viral footage. According to him, the police team "have conducted themselves entirely reasonably, they've been polite, professional."

"We're absolutely satisfied the members behaved appropriately and in accordance with our policy," Cornelius stated, referring to "briefings provided to me."

He admitted, however, that the optics weren't so great. "I would be the first to acknowledge the optics, for want of a better description, arresting a pregnant female, it's never going to look good," he said.

Meanwhile, Buhler herself - who officially faced "incitement" charges later on Wednesday - recalled the experience. "Honestly, I was scared I was being kidnapped by people because they weren't in uniforms," she told reporters.

Expanding on her Facebook message, Buhler said she didn't realize calling for the anti-quarantine gathering was an offense, adding she was ready to cooperate with police. "If the police had just called me and told me to remove the post I would've done so," she said.

Brown said the nearly 100 days of protests have stretched the Portland Police Bureau's resources thin

The sheriffs of Clackamas and Washington County in Oregon said they won't send staff to help with the nightly unrest in Portland after Gov. Kate Brown unveiled a plan to bring an end to violence in the city.

Brown had asked the sheriffs and the Gresham Police Department to support the Portland Police Bureau with personnel and resources "to keep the peace and protect free speech."

Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts on Monday said the governor never approached him before unveiling her plan to mobilize local law enforcement agencies in the Portland protests, and that he has no plans to send his staff to nightly demonstrations.
