from Russia Insider:

The Floyd Hoax riots erupting across the U.S., including in Atlanta tonight, are a direct result of the American Conservative Movement™’s stupidity and cowardice after the 2017 Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville VA. In that case, Democrat state and local officials not only failed to prevent the Antifa attack on peaceful protestors (who really were peaceful protestors, unlike Main Stream Media-coddled Floyd Hoax rioters) but actively facilitated it. However, no-one was punished and Conservatism Inc. cheered on the persecution of patriot activists in the aftermath. Now far more people have died than the one (probably accidental) fatality at Charlottesville, and a full-scale Maoist-style Cultural Revolutionis rolling across the country. Yet Conservatism Inc. is still sounding retreat. What’s left of the Historic American Nation will have to look elsewhere for its defenders.

I know what happened at Charlottesville because I was there. But, regardless of your politics, no one can look to Charlottesville as an example of how to manage a protest. An independent report, ordered by the city itself, found that then-Charlottesville Police Department Chief Al Thomas, who is black, ordered his officers to “let them [demonstrators] fight” because it would make it “easier to declare an unlawful assembly.”

I find the current “Defund The Police” movement pushed by Leftists particularly ironic because, had there been no police in Charlottesville that day, everyone would have been safer. Patriot demonstrators had created a stable perimeter around the park and were blocking Leftist attacks and flying projectiles with shields. Things only spiraled out of control when the police, who had actually been cheered by the patriot demonstrators who assumed they were coming to secure freedom of speech, launched tear gas and literally drove them into the ranks of Antifa, sparking a wild street brawl. These facts are now not disputed by anyone, Left or Right, although (thanks to the Lying Press) they took time to emerge [Independent Review of the 2017 Protest Events In Charlottesville, Virginia, Hunton & Williams].

However, far from being held responsible, then-Mayor Michael Singer and then-Governor Terry McAuliffe are dining out on their malfeasance. Singer is giving interviews on public radio promoting his new book [In ‘Cry Havoc,’ Former Charlottesville Mayor Details A Tragic Day, by Michel Martin, OPB, June 6, 2020]. McAuliffe has his own book out, Beyond Charlottesville: Taking A Stand Against White Nationalism.

One would think that the Trump Justice Department would have investigated whether the city and Commonwealth’s political leaders made decisions that contributed to injuries and deaths for demonstrators, counter-demonstrators, and spectators. But it has done nothing of the kind. Instead, astonishingly, it worked directly with Antifa to persecute members of the Rise Above Movement, a group that fought back against Antifa.

Even worse, a New York State court sentenced members of the Proud Boys to four years in prison for defending themselves against Antifa in New York City in a fight that lasted just a few seconds. Antifa members refused to work with the police in any way, so there were no “victims” demanding justice. Nonetheless, defying all Leftist political theory I’ve ever read, the forces of statist repression swiftly moved to defend the anarchists against their nationalist foes. Conservatism Inc. cheered this on, with Rich Lowry condemning the “poisonous allure of right-wing violence,” instead telling the movement to rely on “patriotic suburban dads” who will sit at home and watch television. [The Poisonous Allure of Right-Wing Violence , by Rich Lowry, Politico, October 17, 2018]

Republicans who think conservatism is consumerism must now grapple with the fact that almost every major company in America is providing funding to far-Left activists. “Patriotic suburban dads” are now having to conduct armed patrols of their own neighborhoods lest their property be destroyed.

The same journalists and politicians who want to defund the police and praise “peaceful protests” as buildings burn in the background are suddenly worried about “vigilantes.”

Well, if you get rid of the police, what do you think will happen?

There have been a few times over the past few years when various conservatives made noise about investigating antifa. Ted Cruz called for a federal criminal investigation after Andy Ngo was attacked in Portland. Newsmax said the Department of Justice was going to go after Antifa last August (no follow-up).

Most recently, President Donald Trump said he would declare “Antifa” a terrorist organization [President Trump says US will designate Antifa as a terrorist organization, KOCO5, May 31, 2020].

It’s unclear whether Trump can actually do this, because the U.S. has no “domestic terrorism” law. Of course, until about a month ago, journalists and nonprofits were demanding the government create one so they could arrest people with the wrong political views [White-Supremacist Violence Is Terrorism, by John Allen, The Atlantic, February 24, 2020]. Just as public protests went from “deadly” to “necessary” when the Narrative switched from COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter, I expect the MSM will go back to supporting a domestic terrorism law when they are confident it won’t be used against their Antifa comrades.

But such a law isn’t really needed to go after Antifa. Federal officers and soldiers kneeling doesn’t quite capture the full-scale refusal of the government to defend its own personnel. Consider:

• In July 2019, a member of an armed Leftist militia (Willem van Spronsen, right) attacked an ICE facility and blew up a vehicle before getting himself shot.


• That same month, an ICE facility was stormed by a mob, the American flag was lowered, and the Mexican flag was raised over the facility in triumph [Watch: Protesters at ICE facility in Aurora pull down American flag and raise Mexican flag, by Jeff Bailey, Denver Post, July 12, 2019]


• In summer 2019, several ICE facilities were shot at, as Leftists openly offeredmoney to kill ICE agents on Twitter.

Simply enforcing existing law would be enough (as with illegal immigration). Yet President Trump is again showing weakness.

The War Between The States began with a Southern attack on Federal property, at Fort Sumter. The anti-Trump cuckservative group The Lincoln Project attacks the president for not being like The Great Emancipator. Well, Old Abe would have called up 75,000 men by now.

The American government is apparently indifferent to destruction of its property, desecration of its symbols, and humiliation of its personnel. So why should American patriots rally to defend it when it has abandoned the Historic American Nation?
