Hijacking the Narrative: George Floyd

Marxist and their allies in the media are masters at hijacking a cause and using it to progress their own ideology and agenda. The recent death of George Floyd serves as a clear illustration of this process. Follow the narrative:

• A video is released of George Floyd, a black man, dying while being restrained by Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer.
• Public Response: universal outrage and calls for justice and the recognition for police reform and racial injustice in America.
• Therefore, the narrative shifts to condemnation of the Minneapolis Police Department.
• Public Response: widespread agreement and public demonstrations and support for black Americans.
• Therefore, the narrative shifts to condemnation of ALL police officers, black and white, in ALL parts of the country.
• Public Response: the first signs of division appear. The murder of George Floyd is a tragedy and we need to mourn his loss and seek justice, but not ALL police officers, black and white, are guilty. Those who disagree are called racist.
• Therefore, the peaceful protests are turned into violent mobs (many led by young, white anarchists), and spread from Minneapolis to cities across America. Many of the businesses and properties destroyed are in black communities and owned by black Americans.
• Public Response: growing division and condemnation of the protests and the riots. Those who disagree are called racists and, in some cases, physically attached. There is now open and increasingly bitter disagreement in America.
• Therefore, the narrative shifts to condemnation of aspects of American history considered racist. Statues of Confederate soldiers and cultural references to the Confederacy are removed and in many cases torn down by violent mobs. The division continues to grow and is now becoming widespread. It is no longer just about race.
• Public Response: many Americans disagree with the riots and mob violence, but open disagreement is met with open public shaming and more violence.
• Therefore, the narrative shifts to condemnation of America and American history. Mobs target statues of any and all Americans and symbols of history. Marxists and their allies in the media condemn America as a "deeply flawed" nation riddled with "systemic racism." ALL white Americans are racist and ALL of American history is racist.
• Public Response: if you disagree, that is proof of your racism; if you stay silent, that is proof of your racism.

Question: what happened to George Floyd? What happened to "the need to listen" to our black neighbors and fellow Americans?

Answer: George Floyd was only a convenient flashpoint for Marxists. They do not care about George Floyd or conversations on racial inequality or meaningful police reform. This is only a wedge issue to divide Americans on race and push the revolution.

So, if that conclusion is true, then what is the outcome Marxists seek? Three words: power, control, and money through division.

Cultural Marxism 101

This is not a new phenomenon. This is Marxism 101. Marxists study the theory of revolution and how to amplify cultural fault lines to foment deep division between groups of people--the oppressed and the oppressors. In historic Marxism, this fault line was between classes, the poor workers (the oppressed) and the ruling elite class (the oppressors).

In America, class warfare did not work. The poor did not feel "oppressed" and the American dream provided a strong sense of hope and motivation to all Americans that they, too, could live a good life.

Marxists needed to find a different fault line in America, and they found it in race. In America, race was the fault line they could weaponize to spark their revolution. They did it in the late 1960s and they are doing it today.

Marxists are globalists and they hate the nation-state. They believe in the collective, not the individual. They hate America. They hate American Exceptionalism. They hate the American Dream. The goal of the the Marxists is to destroy the American story and our memories of our history and rewrite that history in their own image and according to their own ideology.

The Audacity of Hope

How do we know this is not about George Floyd or racism in America? Listen to this famous line from a little-known State senator from Illinois:

... there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there's the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too: We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States, and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq.

It's the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs. The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. The hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta. The hope of a mill worker's son who dares to defy the odds. The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him too. Hope! Hope in the face of difficulty! Hope in the face of uncertainty! The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

This "audacity of hope" expressed by Barack Obama in 2004 sounds racist today! The Marxists and their allies in the media want us to believe America is a nation to despise, not lift up. They hate the United States of America and they will stop at nothing to make this the Divided States of America.

Don't fall prey to their revolutionary tactics. Don't let the Marxists steal your love for America and your desire to see this country continue to be a beacon of hope and freedom to enslaved people all around he world.

Are we a perfect nation? No, of course not. There is work to do, but it is work we must do together. Don't be ashamed to say, "I'm proud to be an American." There are evil forces at work seeking to take America from us, but we must say no, and the time may come when we must say no with force.

Martin Luther King's Dream

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said,

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification," one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

If you read that carefully, you will acknowledge that much of Dr. King's Dream has become reality. There has been much progress on issues of race in the last 50 years. We have not arrived, but we continue to move forward.

This is why I reject the concept of "systemic racism." If you accept the premise of systemic racism, then there is only one cure: kill the host. There is no hope. You must destroy the host and then create a new entity. This is the dream of the Marxists. Destroy America and replace it with a communist/socialist country. This is not Dr. King's Dream.

Don't let the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. die at the hands of a Marxist mob screaming death to America. We owe it to our forefathers who fought and died to free the slaves, to those who marched for civil rights, and for the many who stood in solemn condemnation of the kind of violence that led to the death of George Floyd. We are all George Floyd, we are all Americans, and we shall overcome.

If you believe in the unifying hope of this message, share it far and wide.
