A leaked State Department memo revealed US embassies were encouraged to show support for Black Lives Matter today on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
The seven-page document obtained by Human Events News gave authorization to ‘diplomatic and consular posts’ to fly the organization’s flag and use its name in messages and speeches.
A source within the Biden State Department wishing to remain anonymous has shared with Human Events News a document that indicates that all U.S. “Diplomatic and Consular posts” are being encouraged to display shows of support for Black Lives Matter on Tuesday, May 25, the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The memo reads in part, “The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25 and beyond (italics added) We encourage posts to focus on the need to eliminate systemic racism and its continued impact.”
Now, you may find this hard to believe but after BLM started rioting all across the United States, their approval rating dropped. Imagine that. For some reason, obviously racism, is really responsible for the sudden drop in approval. But, it is also a sure bet that something happened to cause such a steep drop in popularity. But you lose conservatives and independents by rioting and all you have left are Democrats.
‘Wrong place, wrong time’: Friends hold vigil for ‘Black Panther of Oxford’ Sasha Johnson as it emerges she was caught in crossfire when drive-by gunmen targeted house party in gang dispute
Friends have held a vigil for a British Black Lives Matter leader who took a bullet in the head when a London gang carried out a botched drive-by shooting to assassinate a rival at the end of an all-day party.
Demonstrators gathered at the bandstand in Ruskin Park, Lambeth, to ‘pray’ for Sasha Johnson, 27 – the self-styled ‘Black Panther of Oxford’ who called for the police to be defunded after the murder of George Floyd and helped lead the ‘Rhodes Must Fall’ campaign to topple controversial statues.
The activist is fighting for her life in hospital following the attack in Peckham, which her political party claimed came after she received multiple death threats.
Last night her “activist” friends were attempting to gin this up as a political assassination.
Video has surfaced of a 2015 speech from Marxist owner of multiple properties and BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors saying that it has been a lifelong goal of hers to “fight the police”.
The event was held in London’s King’s College in the wake of the Ferguson riots, as part of what was at the time called the “Ferguson solidarity tour”. It was hosted by a variety of student organizations, including the Intersectional Feminist Society, the Ethnic Minority Association and the African Caribbean Society.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors labeled police a “terrorist organization” in an unearthed video from 2015, where she asserts she “always” wanted “to fight police.”
Sasha Johnson, the self-styled ‘Black Panther of Oxford’, was ‘brutally’ attacked after receiving multiple death threats, her political party said.
It is believed that the shooting occurred in the vicinity of a house where a party was taking place and that a number of people may have been in the area. However, police said there is ‘nothing to suggest’ that the woman shot was the subject of a targeted attack.
The Taking the Initiative Party, which Ms Johnson founded, said she was shot after she received death threats as a result of her political activism.
MINNEAPOLIS—Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Friday that his office will lead the prosecution of a former suburban police officer who is charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright.
Former Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter, who fatally shot Wright, a 20-year-old motorist, on April 11. The city’s police chief, who has since stepped down, had said he believed Potter meant to use her Taser instead of her handgun.
The Biden Justice Department has announced that it will seek federal civil rights charges against the three police officers who, along with Derek Chauvin, participated in the fatal arrest of George Floyd. This decision can’t be reconciled with the Justice Department’s own policy guidelines on second prosecutions. What’s more, prosecuting these officers will have serious negative consequences for police work in this country.
It’s time to bid farewell to the MSM coverage of anti-Asian violence. It was juicy while it lasted. The race-baiters in the lefty media saw what they thought was an opportunity to bash Donald Trump yet again by trying to link anti-Asian hate crimes to the former president’s use of the phrase “China virus” in regards to COVID-19. Liberal news rushed and gushed to suggest Trump’s words had stirred up a bunch of white supremacists in MAGA hats, driving pick-up trucks with huge Dixie flags all the way from Georgia to San Francisco for the thrill of punching an elderly Asian woman. Yee-HA!
Last Wednesday, the attorneys for former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao filed a motion that should have been headline news on the right side of the internet. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. No surprise. For the past year, conservative media and political leaders have been shockingly quiet about the flagrant assaults on due process surrounding the death of George Floyd.
Feeling they had to say something about the Derek Chauvin verdict, the Republicans in Congress seemed to take their cues from Pontius Pilate.
Riots rocked Portland, Oregon throughout 2020 and have continued in 2021. While some peaceful protesters advocated for justice in the wake of George Floyd’s death, violent agitators escalated dozens of these protests into violent riots, doing more than $23 million in damage to businesses in downtown Portland.
The official Black Lives Matter organization declared its “solidarity” with Palestinians on Monday, effectively backing the Hamas terror organization in its ongoing conflict with Israel.

The fatal police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. by North Carolina deputies was “justified” because he posed “an immediate threat to others,” a local district attorney said Tuesday.
“This case clearly illustrates the officers who used deadly force on Andrew Brown Jr. did so reasonably, and only when a violent felon, used a deadly weapon to place their lives in danger,” District Attorney R. Andrew Womble said at a press conference.
A former suburban Minneapolis police officer charged with second-degree manslaughter for fatally shooting the 20-year-old Black motorist Daunte Wright is scheduled to appear in court via videoconference on Monday.
