Political Puff

Note: This article is not commenting on George Floyd, nor the police involved. This article is focused on how the Democrat leaders and the media are engaged in the narrative and share in the ideals of the continuing violence.

A frenzy of violence, arson, and looting accompanied the first days of the Floyd protests. The mass media reported on the series of protesting being mainly peaceful.

While Minneapolis burned, Governor Tim Walz (Democrat) of Minnesota rambled on about how the people of his state were “second in happiness behind Hawaii.”

Jacob Frey (Democrat), Mayor of Minneapolis, claimed involvement in the riots by “white supremacists, members of organized crime,” and “possibly even foreign actors,” raising the spectre of Russian president Vladimir Putin walking the mean streets of his city.

With some notable exceptions, local police performed as if they had never been trained for civil disturbances—disappearing in the face of mass lawlessness or at times aggravating the situation with excessive force. For this, too, we must hold their elected masters responsible.

Many of the officials involved were liberal Democrats who shared the ideals of the protesters and were paralyzed by fear of doing anything that might transform them into villains of the narrative. They refused to discriminate between protesters and criminals and were content to pass the blame to white supremacists, Putin, or Trump.

Kamala Harris (Democrat) in June, 2020 helped violent rioters in Minnesota get out of jail with a fund raising effort.

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says “make no mistake”, the mainstream media is “deliberately engaging in propaganda” to change the way you think about politics, COVID-19, and climate change.

Mr Bernardi said slowly, most news and media outlets have “dumped the news” in favour of “pop culture reporting”, but some have sunk as low as “actually deceiving their viewers”.

“We saw as much earlier this week on their ABC. A legitimate story about how the navy – unwisely in my opinion – had dancing girls at the launch of their new ship, became a propaganda piece when the aired footage suggested the Governor-General was observing the twerking young women,” he said.

“But what’s been exposed at the Cable News Network [CNN] is even worse. An undercover reporter from Project Veritas has captured video footage of CNN directors boasting of manipulating the news to change the world.”

Mr Bernardi said CNN only ran its COVID-19 “death clock” on screen while Donald Trump was president, and then was removed when Joe Biden became president.

“The operatives openly admit the network’s main task was to bring down Donald Trump. But damaging a president wasn’t enough. They also needed to prop up the flailing and ailing Joe Biden, who was mostly calling an early-lid on the campaign from his basement,” he said.

“They admit that reporters tell their interviewees what to say and the only people who CNN put to air are those with a proven track record of ‘taking the bait’.

“According to CNN, there is an art to manipulating the public. That means there is an art to manipulating you… because they want to change the world in their image.”
