Major cities across the U.S. saw their fourth day of protests and riots Friday night following the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
On Friday, Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
Violent demonstrators from Minneapolis, to Atlanta however, continue to storm city streets in the worst nationwide breakout of civil disobedience in decades while in the middle of a global pandemic over the novel Wuhan coronavirus. . . . In Minneapolis, the site of Floyd’s death that ignited a week of domestic terror, the carnage continued for its fourth straight day, despite an implemented curfew after rioters had already burned down nearly an entire precinct including a police station.

A. C., thank you for explaining your position. I wasn’t sure where you were coming from. 🙂 I wasn’t able to reply to you below, so I’m posting this here.

Media censorship guarantees credibility and a wider audience for the “underground video.”
To me, watching mainstream media is like mainlining hardcore-proof, premium grade venom. I never tune in.
BUT, I have heard of Candace Owens. Seems everyone is talking about her. Her name is now a household word.
The Media is so entranced by spinning their own fantasy version of reality , that they are completely out of touch with what America is actually thinking, feeling, and experiencing.
Media outlets are our secular “word of faith” preachers who operate under the delusion that they speak reality into being. The 2016 election is a classic case in point.
Thankfully, the Media is losing credibility by the minute. Even kids see through their nonsensical jargon.
A.C.
Amen. Totally agree. Nonsensical dictates sure show that socialism is about control — not about logic, nor peaceful, productive living, nor the safety and welfare of citizens.

In truth, the *U.S. government* may not restrict citizens’ peaceful assembly, nor worship of God (of the Bible) in any way, at any time, for any reason. Self-governing citizens may decide for themselves to refrain from assembly for a season for various reasons.
Those in positions of responsibility who fail to uphold this basic, inviolable foundation stone of our U.S. governance, faithlessly violate their oath of office, treacherously contravene their prescribed responsibilities, and outright betray the Constitution and We the People by serving an alternate form of governance antithetical to America. Thus, by rights, said citizens have forfeited all legitimacy for serving in an office of the United States.
In truth, said foe-Americans have no valid jurisdiction nor authority over U.S. citizens.
For U.S. citizens, the crux of the issue is: Who ya gonna obey? Democracy or Totalitarian Usurpers?
For believers, the crux of the matter is always to live in subjection to the Will and Word of the Lord Jesus.
Easier to write than to live out, that’s for sure.

Correction to above reply – better to have said
“to watch the destruction BY rampaging rioters” . . .
A.C.
The governors who support lawlessness by ordering our police and national guard to watch the destruction of rampaging rioters are the dictatorial despots. They are not acting in cowardice, nor by default. The governors are purposely advancing totalitarian controls, state by state.
Unfortunately, police and national guard are obeying the dictator-wannabe governors, rather than fulfilling their oaths to protect and defend American citizens.
Foe America is in all out rampage against America.

David Horowitz (mentioned below), who was raised hard-line communist (as was Obama, whose mom and her parents, who raised him, were radical communists), says there is no real difference between socialism and communism. He says that if our country goes “socialist” it will become communist.
That is their agenda (2016 and onward was “supposed” to be Part 3) and the great majority of our national media are in bed with them, totally complicit.
Anyone who ever had to read 1984 in school knows that it didn’t happen by that year (by the grace of God) but there is a whole cadre of “leaders” who want to lead us in that direction. They were thwarted in 2016 and have been out for revenge ever since. Hence the false attacks on the current president from Day One, and now the current events of this election year, and how they have all been / are being reported.

Enjoyed comments CW. Socialists next step is to Communism. History has shown this to be true. Our riots in America were well planned. We live in dangerous times. Christians need to pray for wisdom from Heaven and study our Bibles to have answers for the unsaved about the Love of God and The Lord Jesus Christ.

I do remember the fact that God was booed at the DNC. I also remember the fact that the Obama administration was hostile toward Bible-believing Christians, that courts were forcing them to pay draconian fines, go to jail, and even lose their businesses (their livelihoods, by which they supported their families) if they could not in good conscience violate God’s Word in order to provide services for weddings. That was just one issue; there were many more.
David Horowitz (raised Communist; now a conservative) has written a book about that administration’s hostility toward Bible-believing Christians. Even though he is not one, he saw that very clearly.
Radical Son is his autobiography, and VERY enlightening in the wake of current events re: socialists in this country who want to turn our country in that direction. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand what has happened in our nation since the 1960s/’70s, what has brought us to where we are now.

Does anyone remember the 2016 Democratic National Convention for President? 3 times during speeches when God was mentioned many of the Delegates Booed. I wonder how many Democrats are satanists? Many of them vote as if God and the Church are a problem to them. These riots the last few days is very disturbing. I see Marxist Ideology once again flexing its Communist muscles to destroy our country. Pray for peace and Gods help to calm our nation Down.

I saw an interview with Candace Owens on TV and she was a breath of fresh air! I enjoyed every minute of it and I want to read her book which was mentioned.

P.S. I agree with you that no one can “shut down” THE true Church of Jesus Christ which cannot be contained in any building. It is also true that governments CAN restrict the liberty of Christians to meet in buildings, even private homes. I pray that does not come to pass in America. It is truly illogical (at best) for liquor stores and abortuaries to be considered “essential” while churches are closed.

“Police and national guard are challenged to uphold their oaths to protect and defend U.S. citizens OR to carry out invalid orders engineered by blatantly anti-democracy desposts to exert tyranny in every state.”
I haven’t seen police officers and National Guardsmen “protecting and defending U.S. citizens”. I have seen them standing down while rioters were burning and looting whole city blocks, destroying citizens’ livelihoods, even attacking police officers and citizens, causing all kinds of harm.
What “anti-democracy despots” are you referring to? I haven’t heard of them.
A.C.
The governors are not cowards. The governors are exercising dictatorial powers. Police and national guard are challenged to uphold their oaths to protect and defend U.S. citizens OR to carry out invalid orders engineered by blatantly anti-democracy desposts to exert tyranny in every state.
Tough times. Who ya gonna obey?

btw Nobody can close down Jesus’ Church.
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens.
“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

Having been born & raised in Santa Monica, my understanding is that it would take very little manpower to post guard on Ocean, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th & Lincoln by Wilshire, Arizona, Broadway & Colorado. The business-heavy 3rd Street Promenade & Santa Monica Place are within this very small section of town RIGHT NEXT TO THE POLICE DEPT. In my estimation, there is no excuse for looters. None.
My almost daughter (whom I’ll call Witness) was on a road trip in Santa Monica Sun 5/31/20 & Facetimed me on 4th & Broadway around noon, just a block from the Vans Shoe Store. Police HAD ALREADY BLOCKED OFF THE NEARBY California Incline & San Vicente access to Ocean Ave, so HOW COME they could not secure a few more city blocks?! Witness later parked near 16th above Wilshire & walked back to downtown area to see what she could see, noting FIVE helicopters. Must have been the scripted news crews because just 1 true police copter zooming in on an area would send thousands to flight. How sad that with 5 coptors overhead, Witness noted 7 men dressed in black going in to business on Wilshire & Lincoln with trash bags. She said she was the only one seeing this.
There’s a famous saying: “All the world’s a stage,” brought to us by an entity known as Shakespeare– perhaps one person, or maybe a group of 50 or more working as a team. An SM classmate of mine who makes movies said the “looting” appeared to be well-organized. Together, Everyone Achieves More. Who is this…

These so-called “protests” are nothing but riots, period. I can’t watch the news coverage, because it is sickening to watch police and National Guardsmen stand down while so much carnage and destruction is going on. I’m sure those police and soldiers are under orders, so why then are they even out there?
I don’t always agree with President Trump’s tweets, but I agree with him that governors (are any of them exceptions?) are cowards because they’re not authorizing needed action.
It is sooooo hypocritical for these thugs to “protest” criminal acts while committing criminal acts themselves! Two (or more) wrongs do NOT make a right. They only ADD to the conflict and strife.

I’ve thought on this for awhile. Doesn’t mean I’m completely right… it’s just what I see knowing what I do about God based off scripture, right now.
Today, the following words are hotly contested… I can’t breathe. Not to play on an unfortunate situation, but, before this happened, similar words were on my mind in the context of what I’ve written.
Is “today” the fruit of “yesterday and the ongoing”?
From “Sterility”… https://hopeishereblog.wordpress.com/2020/05/27/sterility/
“Sterilized”… we can look “good” to others in the short-term. We can fool ourselves into believing we don’t need a long-term cure for the disease of our soul…
…sterile is literally the condition used to describe new life, the next generation, ceases to exist. The current life, the current generation, withers away into oblivion—their names becomes shrouded and forgotten in darkness (Ecclesiastes 6:1-4; Psalm 37).
From “Which Lion?”… https://hopeishereblog.wordpress.com/2020/05/28/which-lion/
I wrote this to address the temptation of thinking… when I know what’s happening, I then have the ability to turn the clock back to the “good ol’ days”…
Am I left helpless without hope?
No, but I have to…

The video above by Candace Owens was removed by the apostate media. The truth is not what they want us to see about the riots in America. Black Americans are trying to stop Antifa terrorists from burning down and destroying stores where they live. These Black Americans hate what they are doing! The terrorists are telling children to throw rocks! This is sick. Pray for the black parents, the police and the National Guard that they can return America to peace.
