The Diversity of ‘White Supremacy’

Posted on | January 28, 2023 | 2 Comments

When I first heard that there was a controversy about a black man being beaten to death by police in Memphis, I certainly did not expect to discover all the cops were black:

Five Memphis police officers have been charged with second-degree murder, among other charges, in connection with the death of Tyre Nichols, who died three days after being stopped by the officers.
Nichols, a 29-year-old black man, died on January 10, three days after Memphis police officers stopped him for “reckless driving.”
A “confrontation occurred” between Nichols and the police officers when he was stopped around 8:30 p.m. on January 7, according to an initial statement released by authorities.
However, “another confrontation occurred,” while officers attempted to take Nichols into custody.
“While attempting to take the suspect into custody, another confrontation occurred; however, the suspect was ultimately apprehended,” the Memphis Police Department said. “Afterward the suspect complained of having shortness of breath, at which point an ambulance was called to the scene.”
Nichols was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he was reportedly in critical condition before dying days later.
Notably, Memphis Police Department officers Demetrius Haley, Tadarrius Bean, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills, and Justin Smith are all black.

Everybody was waiting for the police bodycam video to be released, and what it shows is . . . Don’t resist arrest in Memphis.

Also, while we’re dishing out advice here, let me suggest that if you’re driving a stolen KIA in Arkansas, don’t run from police in a high-speed pursuit that ends in a fiery fatal crash. (Video here.) By the way, I don’t even know what race the car thief in that case was except, well, after someone gets roasted in a gasoline fire, what’s left of them is black, no matter what race they were before they got roasted.

Excuse me for being sarcastic about matters of life and death, but if sarcasm was a crime, I’d be a habitual offender. Sarcasm is my response to everything, especially tragic circumstances over which I have no control. Do I want people to die because they resisted arrest or fled at 130 mph in a KIA? No, this is not what I want, but these people don’t seek my advice before they do the things that get them killed, so what happens to them is not my responsibility. That was my basic reaction to the whole George Floyd thing. All the white liberals were running around shouting mea culpa and I was like, “OK, culpa tua non est mea.”

How can I be to blame for what cops do in Minneapolis? The only time I was ever in Minneapolis was three days in a hotel for a conference more than 10 years ago. Yet you had white liberals all over the country declaring themselves guilty of racism — complicit in systemic oppression — because of what happened to this guy in Minneapolis, who magically obtained civil rights sainthood merely because he died in police custody.

If everybody is to blame, nobody is to blame — what this progressive rhetoric about “systemic racism” does is to absolve people of responsibility for what they actually do in their own lives, by extending the blame to the vast abstraction of “society,” so that innocent people who are simply minding their own business can be guilt-tripped for unfortunate events in which they are not involved. And if you refuse to play along with this game, if you don’t cooperate with the demand that you blame yourself for other people’s problems, the Left will interpret this as conclusive proof that you’re guilty of “white supremacy.”

There is no court to which you can appeal this conviction, because the mere accusation is sufficient to destroy anyone’s career and reputation, which is why so many people tiptoe around uncomfortable topics so as to avoid expressing any opinion that might offend a liberal. There’s a lot of white silence on the subject of race whenever we are compelled to listen to angry lectures on the subject, because nearly all white people are afraid to criticize the Al Sharptons and Ben Crumps of the world.

Maybe the families of these five black police officers in Memphis will have a “road to Damascus” experience as a result of having Ben Crump show up for his usual media circus before scoring another big payday for 50% of whatever multimilllion-dollar settlement the city of Memphis pays out in the subsequent civil-rights lawsuit. Maybe some of them will realize what a crooked hustle Crump is operating, and this realization might cause them to reconsider the propriety of the White Guilt Industrial Complex, within which Crump has made his fortune.

Is it too much to hope that black people might finally figure out that they’re being played for chumps in this three-card monte game? Perhaps, but the alternative to optimism is despair and, as a great man once advised, “It is history that teaches us to hope.” So I’ll keep hoping despite every discouraging incident, and will keep offering helpful advice, e.g., “Don’t resist arrest in Memphis.”

State of Emergency: Gov. Kemp Issues Order to Deal With Atlanta Rioters

Posted on | January 27, 2023 | 2 Comments

He’s ready to call up 1,000 National Guard troops:

In the wake of a shooting between Antifa terrorists and law enforcement at the site of a future public safety training facility and domestic terrorist activity in downtown Atlanta, Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) declared a 15-day state of emergency that allows him to call up the National Guard to deal with these out-of-town insurgents if need be.
Kemp wrote in his five-page executive order:

WHEREAS: In consultation with public safety officials and emergency preparedness officials, I have determined that the following actions are necessary and appropriate to protect public peace and provide for the safety and welfare of Georgia’s citizens, visitors, and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO THE AFOREMENTIONED GEORGIA LAW, CODE SECTION 38-3-51, CODE SECTION 45-12-29, AND THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME AS THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED: That because of unlawful assemblage, violence, overt threats of violence, disruption of the peace and tranquility of this state and danger existing to persons and property, a State of Emergency is declared in the State of Georgia.

The order comes as tensions could ratchet back up this weekend after five Memphis police officers face murder charges in the beating death of a suspect.
“The continued anti-police movement in Atlanta could also be further enflamed by the charging of five former Memphis police officers with second-degree murder and other crimes in the arrest and death of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist who died three days after a traffic stop confrontation,” reports Fox 5. “Body camera video of the incident is expected to be released on Friday evening.”

(Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.) The connection to the Memphis situation makes no sense. The five cops charged with killing Tyre Nichols? All of them are black. Where’s the “systemic racism” angle in that story? What are they protesting against? But some people just hate cops so much they’ll start a riot over a parking ticket, which is what the “activist” mob in Atlanta is all about — hating cops, period. As I explained previously (“THE ATLANTA RIOT: Out-of-State Anarchists Torch Police Vehicle”), the riot Saturday night was clearly pre-planned by the same left-wing scumbags who organized the so–called “peaceful protest.”

John Sexton at Hot Air examines how media reporting on the so-called “forest defenders” repeats the activists’ propaganda narrative, without even acknowledging the underlying myth of this “forest.” Google the term “Weelaunee Forest” and you’ll get about 20,000 results, none of which date prior to 2021; that’s because this term was invented by the activists to create the impression of a pristine indigenous wilderness, e.g.:

“Forests are the lungs of planet Earth,” Defend the Forest stated. “The destruction of forests affects all of us. So do the gentrification and police violence that the bulldozing of Weelaunee Forest would facilitate.” . . .
As explained by Defend the Forest, thousands of years ago, the Weelaunee Forest was stewarded by the Muscogee (Creek) people, but it was stolen from them over the course of centuries “through genocide and dispossession.”

As previously explained (“Dear Antifa Terrorists: Please Go to Georgia, So Cops Can Kill All of You”), the proposed 85-acre site of the Atlanta police training facility is part of a larger 300-plus-acre property that, beginning in the 1920s, was the site of the Atlanta Prison Farm. The “forest” is just a lot of second-growth timber that sprung up in recent decades after the old Prison Farm was abandoned. And there’s so much more to be said about this activist/media propaganda mythology:

If there is another riot in Atlanta, much of the responsibility will belong to the media, because of their idiotic repetition of the activist propaganda narrative. The belief that these “forest defenders” are protecting some kind of sacred indigenous territory is false and ultimately dangerous.

SMOKING GUN: Did Hunter Biden Use Classified Documents for Foreign $$$$?

Posted on | January 26, 2023 | Comments Off on SMOKING GUN: Did Hunter Biden Use Classified Documents for Foreign $$$$?

Glenn Reynolds calls this a “Culture of Corruption” surrounding the Biden family, but it may be even more serious than that: Hunter Biden may have compromised U.S. national security in his pursuit of “business” with shady foreign clients. Daniel Chaitin at Daily Wire:

A lengthy email found in Hunter Biden‘s abandoned laptop is raising questions about whether the first son had improper access to classified information.
The new line of inquiry comes as President Joe Biden faces a special counsel investigation into his handling of documents after classified materials were found at a former office of his in Washington, D.C., and his home in Wilmington, Delaware, dating back to his time as a U.S. senator and vice president. And as noted in an analysis by the Washington Examiner, Hunter Biden likely had access to the garage in which records with classified contents have been discovered.
Stoking concerns about the potential misuse of classified information, the New York Post’s Miranda Devine wrote a column this week about an email dated April 12, 2014, sent to Hunter Biden’s then-business partner with 22 detailed points with “research” about the situation in Ukraine. The business partner, Devon Archer, was sentenced in 2022 to more than a year in prison after being convicted in a fraud scheme in which Hunter Biden was not implicated.
There are a number of reasons why this particular email drew attention. One is how it is written and the attention to detail. The email discusses such matters as Russia’s “destabilization campaign,” United States sanctions, and United Kingdom energy policy. A source told CNN the classified documents found at Biden’s private academic office, among other unclassified papers, contained U.S. intelligence memos and briefing materials on Iran, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.
Another factor is the timing. One week after the email was sent, Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time, met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Also around that time, Hunter Biden and Archer were hired to sit on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, which is repeatedly named in the email.

You can read the whole thing. How did Hunter Biden (who had no previous experience in Ukraine or Eurasian geopolitics) get all this information? Isn’t it strange how U.S. intelligence officials were so eager to dismiss Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation,” given how the contents of that laptop are exposing the entire Biden family as bought-and-paid-for by foreign cash? It’s almost as if these “intelligence officials” aren’t actually motivated by a concern for national security. Almost as if they, too, have been bought and paid for with foreign cash. But I guess I’m just a crazy right-wing conspiracy theorist . . .

Documents Here! Documents There! Classified Documents Everywhere!

Posted on | January 24, 2023 | 2 Comments

It’s a Doctor Seuss story at this point:

Classified documents were found at former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Carmel, Indiana, last week, according to CNN.
It is unclear what classified information exists in the documents.
Pence’s lawyer alerted the National Archives of the revelation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) was subsequently notified by the National Archives. The FBI and Justice Department have launched an investigation into the documents and how they were taken to Indiana.

So Pence had classified documents in Indiana, Trump had classified documents in Florida, and Biden had classified documents in, what? Five locations now? So many that I’ve lost count, anyway. You get the idea that maybe all these “secrets” aren’t so secret. We should be grateful for the incompetence of our nation’s enemies, because certainly our “intelligence community” isn’t very good at protecting our national security.
