History Highway, Washington Versus Charlottesville: Who Are the Real Insurrectionists?

By Rich Kozlovich

Does anyone read history books any longer? I'm sure the media is stunningly ignorant when it comes to history, and with their use of logical fallacies, they must accept a huge share of the blame for this January 6th crisis, and all the hugely destructive riots that ensued over the last five years and more.

We really do need to take a trip down History Highway.

The biggest part of the media coverage that's disturbing is their failure to define the groups properly. Nazi's are not right wing, they're left wing. The Nazis', KKK, white supremacist groups are all fascists - and fascism is a left wing concept. It's only right wing as the right wing of socialism, as communism is socialism's left wing - but they’re both left wing socialist concepts, two sides of the same coin. 

Once that's understood we can begin to see it's the left that's the problem.  Pay attention please!!!!! It's always the left that's the problem as they never fail to resort to violence in order to attain their goals.  Even when leftists are on two different sides of an issue as they were in Germany with Nazi's and Communists battling it out in the streets. This was before the Nazi's finally took control of the nation, but the Nazi' were socialists, and both were all socialists of one flavor or the other.

The real issue was then and – as it is now - all about attaining power and control - the only moral foundation the left believes in, and they're willing to do anything to attain it, even adopting policies they've previously despised. Hate, greed, selfishness, envy, resentment and violence are all - and I mean all - the left has to offer, and let’s try and understand this once and for all - the violent groups interacting there were leftists - all leftists - and I don't care to which race they belonged.

But they've dubbed opposing groups as "counter protesters". Why didn't the call them "anti- white protesters", or "black nationalist" protestors, or "anti-free speech" protestors. Because that would have made them look like racists, communists or anarchists, which is in fact what they are. Since we know the left has determined only white people can be racists, radicals and fascists, they can't properly define themselves and still promote their cause.

All of which is a very convenient definition of racism. One that allows the media, blacks and leftists to cover up and justify the blatant and virulent racism in the black community. Properly defining themselves – or for the media to do it - would also make them look like radicals.  Well - that’s what fascists are.... radicals.

So, who's at fault? How and why are Trump, Republicans and conservatives being blamed? Who should have been condemned?

For starters - let's take a trip down History Highway with a small trip back in time and place.

Democrat Michael R. White was the second black mayor of Cleveland serving three four-year terms from 1990 to 2002. In 1999 the KKK held a rally with 40 members of the Klan shouting their message, which was mostly drowned out by those protesting that message. There was a lot of free speech, but there was no violence.

What happened?

The mayor cordoned off downtown Cleveland with hundreds of police officers in riot gear and tall chain-link fences placing a barrier between opposing groups. Mayor White was criticized for allowing the event to take place at all, but he understood the concept of free speech, even if it's hate speech. 

White made it clear he despised the KKK but he also understood he was legally obligated to protect the citizens and visitors of Cleveland. He clearly understood the difference between being the Mayor of Cleveland who was black versus a Black Mayor of Cleveland. Cleveland Mayor Jackson, also black, dealt with this successfully during the Republican Convention in much the same manner.  

There are those who claim this is an inappropriate comparison because the country was less on edge and hate groups were far less organized, plus the rally in Cleveland was much smaller", implying it wouldn't have worked in Washington DC. It's true regarding the numbers and the emotions, but the fact of the matter is there was no effort by police to set up any of what I would call a fundamental security for such an event. So how can anyone claim this wouldn't have worked if no one instituted proper security arrangements?

This is clearly a failure of the police administration and the person who is legally responsible for security, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, since she was warmed about the potential problem, Trump offered help to control it, and she knew this was larger, more emotional, and bound to be a bigger problem than Mayor White faced in Cleveland and yet chose to do nothing.

The Ferguson, Baltimore and Charlottsville riots are proof positive that when the leadership of a state or city abandon their responsibilities to protect the citizens they've sworn to protect anarchy reigns. When security forces are ordered to "stand down" in cities or states run by leftists it allows for leftist thugs to attack with impunity. That's history, and that history is incontestable. So why would anyone think it would be different in Washington than it was in Ferguson, Baltimore or Charlottesville?

Let's take a look at Charlottesville.

In Charlottesville we now know a serious level of fault can be placed at the feet of the police and the Governor of Virginia for this tragedy. Governor Terry McAuliffe was completely aware of the danger here as he was informed three days before the event by the Department of Homeland Security saying: “an escalating series of clashes had created a powder keg that would likely make the event "among the most violent to date" between white supremacists and anarchists”.

Here are some quoted observations: 

  • “ACLU and reporters covering the rally contend the violence escalated due to a lack of police oversight that some believe was intentional, ultimately blaming Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.”
  •  “The police actually allowed us to square off against each other,” a counter-protester told CNN. “There were fights, and the police were standing a block away the entire time. It’s almost as if they wanted us to fight each other.” The ACLU contends the “passive” police presence may have been a deliberate attempt to allow authorities to declare an “unlawful assembly” and justify shutting down the rally.” 
  • “There are common police methods to deal with such situations and have been for decades. That they were not used suggests instructions from on high, most likely from Democrat governor McAuliffe. Did McAuliffe WANT mayhem so he could puff up himself by condemning it?” 
  •  “Despite the fact that 1,000 first responders (including 300 state police troopers and members of the National Guard)—many of whom had been preparing for the downtown rally for months—had been called on to work the event, despite the fact that police in riot gear surrounded Emancipation Park on three sides, and despite the fact that Charlottesville had had what reporter David Graham referred to as "a dress rehearsal of sorts" a month earlier when 30 members of the Ku Klux Klan were confronted by 1000 counter protesters, police failed to do their jobs.”
  • In fact, as the Washington Post reports, police "seemed to watch as groups beat each other with sticks and bludgeoned one another with shields… At one point, police appeared to retreat and then watch the beatings before eventually moving in to end the free-for-all, make arrests and tend to the injured."
  • “All the while protesters were throwing urine-filled water bottles, pepper spray and smoke bombs, and clobbering one another with flag poles and shields, Brian Moran, Virginia’s secretary of public safety and homeland security, watched from a command post overlooking the downtown area and did nothing”.“Moran watched while fights broke out and police stood by and failed to intervene. “Only at 11:22 am, after hours of brawling and confrontations between the protesters, did Moran take action by calling on Governor Terry McAuliffe to declare a state of emergency. Only then did police mobilize to declare the gathering an unlawful assembly,”

Its fortunate we all know there’s no such thing as a conspiracy.....unless it's "vast right-wing conspiracies", otherwise I would say this certainly has the stench of a conspiracy.

  • So then, why was Trump criticized?
  • He condemned all those perpetrating violence.
  • He condemned all bigots.  
  • He condemned all hate groups.

He was exactly right, but that wasn’t enough for these leftist loons and their anarchist allies.  Quite frankly I think the only mistake he made was by not condemning Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, the NAACP and a host of other black bigots, race baiters and hate mongers for the violence and murder their rhetoric begets.

Whether you like or dislike the KKK loons – this was a licensed march, just as it was in Cleveland, where it was controllable. But in Charlottesville the Antifa crowd started this by “raining balloons filled with urine, feces, paint, burning chemicals and boards with nails driven into them.”

We now know who struck the first blow.

People traveled from afar to stop this free speech rally and clearly intended violence – and it was clear the Governor and the city administration knew about it and the police stood by and watched. Instead of the media identifying those who did start the violence they focused on a nutcase who drove a car into the crowd killing a woman, and ran with it 24/7. What hypocrisy!

When a Bernie supporter, James Hodgkinson, shot Republicans playing a ballgame, I don’t remember that running 24/7? Nor do I remember the main stream media outlining how he was a “Bernie supporter and a habitual Antifa website visitor and advocate”. If they did mention that piece of information it would only be because there’s an alternative media and bloggers holding their feet to the fire. But why would that surprise anyone since 89% of the media are Antifa enablers and share their beliefs and values.

The media - along with the CEO's 5 Big companies decided to stab Trump in the back, along with the RINO's of the Republican party (all of whom are a national disgrace and now look like the fools they are) criticized Trump for having the nerve for condemning "all" violence from "all" sides, while the leftists and their enablers, insisted all right-thinking Americans know there was only one right side in the melee – the Antifa side.

Frankly the leftist fascists thugs of BLM and Antifa should be condemned, and more so, because it's clear they've were responsible for turning what should have been a controlled march into a violent national nightmare.  The media is as much responsible for this mess as anyone since they turn every insignificant racial issue into a national nightmare, and many times those issues were fake.

As one writer noted:

"There are groups trying very hard to destroy what's left if the civil society and it ain't just the "alt-right". Since last November, leftist front groups like BLM and Antifa have been given a pass over and over for their violence. They are once again getting a pass on what happened in Charlottesville. Like the Islamists, these groups will only become more emboldened. Unless and until these groups receive the same condemnation and actions as that being thrown at the "alt-right", these confrontations are going keep escalating."

Is that statement hyperbole? George Orwell, the author of Animal Farm and 1984 (I do wish more people would read both of them) noted:

“Who controls the present controls the past. Who controls the past controls the future…..”

There’s a great deal of talk about Trump’s inability to “properly” condemn the protestors for this riot and those involved with the Washington protest.  But the fact is, it doesn't matter what Trumps says or does, it will never be enough to satisfy these leftist misfits. 

Here's the reality of what’s been happening for a very long time. The anarchist groups like Antifa, BLM, Occupy Wall Street, progressives and Democrats have a goal. They're systematically attempting to end the very foundation of our Constitutional Republic – free speech and the right to assemble – and since they now looks as if they're going to lose the Congress, it's my belief they're going to act with as much violence as they can get away with in the coming months in order to intimidate America against voting for conservatives in the Republican party. 

They’ve now claimed, and have demanded everyone else claim, that Nazis, the KKK and white supremacists are all Republicans, conservatives, Christians and President Trump is in charge of their efforts.  In their minds that gives them the right to destroy anything that’s not in harmony with what they really support – Marxism!

Their effort to revise history is central to this whole issue. Kamala Harris be-clowns herself by comparing the January 6th protests with Pearl Harbor and the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9-1-1  as one of the most horrible events in American history, but who really represent a real and imminent danger to America and the Constitution?

While the media, RINO’s and foolish CEO’s would have the world believe it’s the KKK, white supremacists and their like, we need to take a look at the numbers. The Occupy Wall Street movement (which this Antifa movement was born out of) had more than 200,000 members. The KKK has 6,000 according the Southern Poverty Law Center – a group that in no way would under count white supremacists.

Six thousand out of a nation of 330 million people!  That’s meaningless, and if the violence started by the Antifa crowd hadn’t occurred, only the media and people in and around Charlottesville would have noticed this rally.

I have a few questions: 

  • Who tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus? 
  •  Who started the violence at Seattle prayer rally? 
  • Who perpetrates reprehensible violence against innocent citizens? 
  • Who caused a riot to prevent Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking? 
  • Who’s burning the American flag? 
  • Who’s destroying private property and looting? 
  •  Who disrupted the Boston Free Speech rally? 
  • Who disrupted the Trump rally in Arizona. 
  • Who attacked peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley

Antifa and their myrmidons! They, along with BLM, are the real menace for the country, all over the country. Attacking people with baseball bats and axe handles violently disrupting demonstrations that would have otherwise been peaceful with the goal of destroying America, overturning the Constitution and our capitalist economy in favor of a Marxist nightmare.

“In the wake of Charlottesville, all pretense of liberalism is fading" so that even Nancy Pelosi, who at one time fell into line with the rest of the leftists criticizing Trump terming all this Antifa activity as “free speech” once said:

“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts. The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted. In California, as across all of our great nation, we have deep reverence for the Constitutional right to peaceful dissent and free speech. Non-violence is fundamental to that right. Let us use this sad event to reaffirm that we must never fight hate with hate, and to remember the values of peace, openness and justice that represent the best of America."

Imagine that! It just goes to show – even a blind monkey can find a coconut once in a while. 

What are the consequences?

As a result of all this Trump has been shown to be right and his ratings remain high. The left in all its manifestations including the activists, Democrats, the media, Deep State bureaucracy, RINO’s and foolish business leaders have been exposed for who and what they are, and will be forced to play out their role until the end. Actions that will come back to haunt them.

The leftist groups will get bigger and more violent on both sides, the KKK, BLM and Antifa, and please remember, they’re both left wing fascist movements, just on different sides, as were the German Nazi’s and the German Communists – but both socialists – two sides of the same coin, and each vying for power.

The gap between the so-called progressives and conservatives will grow to the point it will be a winner take all situation for the nation, and politics will change even more dramatically. A sizable portion, including many blacks, support leaving the Confederate Statues alone, don't want to get rid of the police, want illegal immigrants deported, want criminals prosecuted and jailed, and it's creating a divide within the black community.

And as for me, Trump was exactly right. He promoted "peaceful" protests, and while President condemned violence in all forms from all sides during all these riots, all of whch the Democrats and leftists applauded and excused.

That's history, and that history is incontestable. Why is that so hard to accept?
