Rashad Turner, who founded the local BLM chapter in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2015, released a video last week titled 'The Truth Revealed about BLM' in which he revealed that he quit after learning the 'ugly truth
'They have little concern for rebuilding black families'

A former Black Lives Matter leader in Minnesota who quit after 18 months says he learned the 'ugly truth' about the organization's stance on family and education after working on the inside.

Rashad Turner, who founded the local BLM chapter in St. Paul in 2015, released a video last week titled The Truth Revealed about BLM. In the video, the 35-year-old said he eventually came to the realization that BLM had 'little concern for rebuilding black families'.

Speaking about becoming the founder of the local BLM chapter, Turner said:
'I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies - black lives do matter. However, after a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding black families and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis.'

Comment: A fraud is a fraud is a fraud. The pretense cannot be kept up forever.

No, Critical Race Theory isn't a new 'civil rights' movement. (Just the opposite)

critical race theory blm books black power graphic
Critical Race Theory has become a prominent subject in American political discourse. Several state legislatures have advanced measures aimed at banning it from public schools, on the basis that its rigid moral categorization of people as either "privileged" or "oppressed" is offensive and even racist. Yet supporters argue that Critical Race Theory is vital to the project of eliminating racism, which they see as an omnipresent contaminant in every sphere of American life. Only by constantly and explicitly taking race into account in every aspect of policy-making, the theory goes, can we rid ourselves of its presence.

One of the most ideologically ambitious defenses of Critical Race Theory presents the doctrine as the next logical stage in the process that began with the civil rights movement. This is the argument made by the American Bar Association, the largest voluntary association of lawyers in the world. The ABA instructs us that Critical Race Theory provides a "powerful approach for examining race in society," as well as a "lens through which the civil rights lawyer can imagine a more just nation."

Project Veritas dropped another insider leaked video on Friday, this one from a Facebook insider that revealed that the social media giant is concerned about whistleblowers leaking information. They have been working to expose internal workings at Facebook for some time.

The video shows CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Heidi Swartz, a top executive, talking about former Facebook employee and whistleblower Morgan Kahmann and what they intend to do about this problem they're facing.

"When we find leakers, which we often do, we have zero tolerance. So that means we fire them...We're also continuing to investigate additional potential leakers, and we plan to take action there too. We're also working on continuing to ramp up our investigative techniques as our company grows," Swartz said.

Protest erupts again over man killed by Minnesota deputies

A protester is arrested by police after a vigil was held for Winston Boogie Smith Jr. early in Minneapolis on Saturday, June 5, 2021. Authorities said Friday that a man wanted on a weapons violation fired a gun before deputies fatally shot him in Minneapolis, a city on edge since George Floyd's death more than a year ago under an officer's knee and the more recent fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright in a nearby suburb.
Protesters faced off with officers in Minneapolis early Saturday over the shooting death of a Black man by members of a U.S. Marshals task force.

Photos from the scene following a vigil for Winston Boogie Smith Jr., 32, showed dumpster fires in the street and a line of officers standing guard. It was the second night of protests in response to the fatal shooting Thursday in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood.

Police said 27 people were arrested in the protest, with 26 accused of rioting and one facing a weapons charge. No injuries were reported. Some businesses sustained damage, police said.

Comment: And just to see who we're dealing with here, from RT:
Minneapolis rioter FORGETS NAME of man on whose behalf he's rioting... Once reminded, he declares on camera, 'REMEMBER THAT NAME'

A Minneapolis protester attended a riot over a man being shot by police, but he couldn't remember the victim's name. Once reminded of the new martyr's identity, he went on camera to tell his interviewer, "Remember that name."

If the scene wasn't already dystopian enough, the suspected criminal who was fatally shot by police on Thursday was Winston Smith, which happens to be the same name as the protagonist in the George Orwell novel '1984'.

A video of the strange encounter during Thursday night's riot in Minneapolis began with the unidentified man saying from off camera, "Stay here, show, like, hold that space, obviously for, I'm not gonna lie, I forgot his name." Another voice, apparently belonging to a journalist with alternative media outlet Unicorn Riot, then said, "Winston Smith."

The man then thanked his interviewer and agreed to go on camera. "Just so you all know, the person that was shot up in there, his name is Winston Smith," he said. "Don't forget that name, Winston Smith. Say his name, and make sure y'all remember this s**t because we're going to fight for him just the same f**king way we fought for George Floyd."

DoD will not fly the pride flag at military installations.

The Defense Department will not allow the Pride flag to be flown at installations under its purview, unlike the State Department, spokesperson John Kirby said Friday.

"After some careful consideration the department will maintain the existing policy regarding the display" at military bases, Kirby told reporters. "There won't be an exception made for the Pride flag.

"This in no way reflects any lack of respect or admiration for the LGBTQ+ community," Kirby continued. "This was really more about the potential ... for other challenges that could arise from that exception."

The Met Police received heavy criticism after it made a post praising "intersectionality" and "Queer People of Colour in the fight against racism" - with concerned Brits calling on police to tackle knife crime in the city.

On Friday, the official Twitter account for the Metropolitan Police's LGBT+ advisers published a pro-LGBT pride message, which featured a rainbow flag with extra colour stripes to represent transgender and black people.


"We stand with Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic #LGBT+ people & Queer People of Colour in the fight against racism," read the post.
"We are part of the @LGBTpoliceuk #intersectionality working group to amplify their voices within @metpoliceuk & across our communities."

Though the post received 67 likes, Met Police received hundreds of complaints, with many Brits pointing out that there is currently a knife and machete crime problem in the capital city.

Dr Aruna Khilanani, who is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, delivered the talk virtually to Yale University medical students and faculty back in April.
A New York-based psychiatrist who was invited by Yale University to give a talk titled Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind told the audience that she had fantasized about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any white person' who got in her way.

Dr Aruna Khilanani, who runs her own practice in Manhattan, delivered the talk virtually to medical students and faculty back in April after being invited by Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center.

Audio of her 50-minute lecture was published on journalist Bari Weiss' Substack blog on Friday.

Comment: Sounds like a mentally stable academic that Yale would be proud to represent. Blatant racism is the new political correctness.

The English want to ban smoking — I'll take my chances

I will be 84 next month — even though I have smoked since I was sixteen. I started with five Woodbines and now I smoke Davidoff magnums which I have to get from Germany.

I recently told my doctor I smoke twenty a day, then about ten in the evenings — and I try and keep it down to five during the night. I also told him that I have had three doctors in the last fifty years. Each of them recommended I give up. But each of them has now died; the last one only a year older than me. My new doctor laughed and said nothing. He has a good sense of humour.

My father was a very keen anti-smoker, but he died at 75 because he ate too many chocolate biscuits. He was a diabetic who would walk up the street to buy a packet of chocolate biscuits and then eat them all in the park. This caused him to go into comas, which he did once too often and died of a heart attack in the hospital. He knew that going into a coma damages your heart, but he was a lot more worried about the smokers.

I knew this was completely irrational, but I also knew that he wasn't alone. One of the reasons I moved to Normandy was because there are many people in England like him who are now trying to ban smoking. All of them are humourless bossy boots.
