Joshua Philipp On Antifa

Controllers are pulling the strings from behind the curtain.

Hey, a quick note to Antifa.  You’re being used by the controllers.  When they’re finished with you, what do you think is going to happen?  Do you know what happened in the Röhm Purge?

Violence Is Being Instigated By Anarchists And Antifa Activists

Word.

“If you look at some of the violence, it’s being instigated by anarchists and Antifa activists,” Nadales, the former Antifa member said, “not by the peaceful protesters who are rightfully angered by what happened.”

If you believe that this is all about social justice, you’re naive.  The controllers are always pulling the strings behind the scenes.

This is a black flag event (or a series of them).  Why did the cop do it to Mr. George Floyd?  We will never really know.  We won’t know any more than we will know why Stephen Paddock allowed himself to be used as a cover-up for a gun battle between Saudi royals in Las Vegas (that cover being used to protect the petrol dollar and U.S. alliance with the House of Saud).  Bump stocks were a convenient bogey man and it has never been demonstrated that they had anything to do with the shooting.  Who uses bump stocks with bipods?

What you can bet on is that very rich men are playing the currency market as we speak, paying violent hacks to foment the violence, just like the brown shirts did, and making plans for more of the same.

Another Reason To Have Guns, Part II

Then there’s the knowledge of what they really intend.

An Illinois man who came to Minneapolis to riot over the weekend livestreamed himself handing out explosives, destroying property and appearing to set a Sprint store on fire, according to charges filed in the U.S. District Court of Minnesota on Monday afternoon.

Matthew Lee Rupert, 28, is charged with civil disorder, possession of unregistered explosives and participating in and organizing riots, making him the first to face federal prosecution for allegedly taking part in the fires, looting and other violence that engulfed the Twin Cities since the death of George Floyd in police custody.

Last Thursday night, Rupert, of Galesburg, Ill., posted on his public Facebook page an invitation for “goons” to join him in traveling to Minneapolis, where he said he was renting hotel rooms and planned to wreak havoc and “take hella good videos.”

The livestreamed videos, cited as evidence by FBI investigators in the complaint, show his role in the riots on Friday night and early Monday, including distributing explosives and then announcing, “He’s throwing my bombs … they’re going to bomb the police with them.”

“Good shot, my boy,” he shouted after one of the explosions, according to the complaint. “We came here to riot,” he declared later.

Later in the night, Rupert asked for lighter fluid and entered a Sprint store, according to the complaint. “I lit it on fire,” he said, before entering an Office Depot and stealing items from it.

Just so you know.

Owners of Corbo’s Bakery arm themselves with guns as violent protesters try to get inside

BY Herschel Smith

News from Cleveland.

CLEVELAND (WJW) — What started as a peaceful demonstration in downtown Cleveland to protest the death of George Floyd turned violent on Saturday.

Those intent on turning the protest into a riot, systematically smashed out windows and looted stores, restaurants and bars. But when they got to Corbo’s Bakery on Euclid Avenue, they were met with resistance.

After protesters tried to force their way inside with bats and other weapons, owner Joe Corbo and his two sons armed themselves with guns and told the rioters that they would not allow them inside the bakery.

“We don’t want any trouble, we don’t want you guys in here damaging our property, we’re just protecting our business and truthfully, I would say maybe 80% of them understood, they left us alone and kept walking, and then there was that 20% that just were accusing us of some things and crazy things that just weren’t true. We weren’t there to hurt anybody or cause a problem, we were just protecting our business,” said Co-owner Selena Corbo.

The protesters apparently took note of the weapons and the determination of the Corbo family to protect their bakery and decided to move on to other businesses, but not before breaking out a large window at Corbo’s.

I’m glad it mostly turned out okay for the owners.  There’s video at the link.

I found it amusing that the first thing one of the thugs did when he tried to break in and saw guns was apologize for trespassing.

No, I’m just kidding.  He got on his knees and chanted, “hands up, don’t shoot.”  As if he had a right to steal from the store, and the owner was a cop, and bad man for stopping him thus infringing on his right to do whatever he wanted.

Seems Like She Should Have Had Rights Too

Gateway Pundit.

(WHAM) – Disturbing video recorded by a person in Rochester shows a group of people attacking a woman outside a business amid widespread looting and rioting in downtown Rochester Saturday evening.

In the video, a woman pleads with the people smashing the exterior of Rochester Fire Equipment Company on Marshall Street to stop. The woman yelled at the group of people, who were apparently trying to loot the jewelry store next door.

Several of the people then turn on the woman and begin attacking her, hitting and kicking her, and then used boards to hit her.

The woman’s husband runs in toward the end of the recording and tries to break up the attack while swinging a golf club. He was then attacked himself.

The woman is reportedly recovering on Sunday morning.

The woman and her husband are tenants who live above Rochester Fire Equipment. Joe Painter tells us he was out grocery shopping when he came upon the scene and started taking video on his cell phone.

Painter, who says he is a veteran of the War in Afghanistan, says it was one of the worst things he’s ever witnessed. He said he stopped recording abruptly because some of the people who attacked the woman in the video started running toward him.

There’s video at the link.

So I realize America has taught several generations of inner city youth that they have a right to steal whatever they want with impunity, destroy things and abuse other people like this, but it seems like this poor woman would have had rights too, yes?  Because she is made in God’s image?  Yes?

And I’m sorry to the Afghan war vet, but people running after him too isn’t an excuse to ignore the suffering of others.  Every man dies.  It matters how you live, and it matters how you die.

Very Quick Thoughts Concerning The Current Riots

BY Herschel Smith

I have nothing detailed at the moment.  Lot’s of stuff in the pipeline, maybe.  Or maybe not.

So here’s my questions to the rioters.  Where were you, oh self righteous pricks, when open carry fishermen in Florida were body slammed by cops?

Where were you, oh self righteous rioters, when innocent former Marine Jose Guerena was raided and killed in his own home, having the trigger discipline never even to fire a shot in return?

Where were you this morning when the Supreme Tyrants declared that California, and thus any state, could prohibit Christians from worshiping?

Oh, I see.  Rights for some, but not for others.

Be careful folks.  Don’t align yourself with people who would take those very cops they hate so much and turn them on you to confiscate guns if they had the chance.  Don’t align yourself with people who would force Christians into hiding because of their own hatred for us.

BLM and Antifa couldn’t care less about your rights as a Christian or gun owner.
