Our Self Inflicted Race Wounds
Homogenized
mob derangement…
As
the United States burns and bleeds, the nation’s enemies gloat. They see an
opportunity to attack, and we are helping them do it.
Did you
know that Iranians held a candlelight vigil for George
Floyd? Did you know that murals of Floyd with the words “I can’t breathe” were
painted on the Berlin Wall and on a landmark in the Idlib province of Syria?
Did you know that English Premier League soccer players took a knee at
midfield, and soccer stars in Germany marked goals scored by displaying the
message “Justice for George Floyd”?
A single act of police brutality in the
United States sparked large protests in Paris, Toronto, Copenhagen,
Dublin, Rio de Janiero, Milan, Mexico City and countless other cities. Streets
in Vancouver, Canada, had to close to accommodate thousands of demonstrators.
Black Lives Matter activists in London shouted “Hands up, don’t shoot” at
British police—who don’t carry guns. Eight thousand miles from
the Minneapolis street where the tragedy took place, tens of thousands turned
out to protest in Auckland, New Zealand.
Why the unprecedented outrage over an incident in Midwestern
America?
Newspapers and media outlets worldwide headlined the mayhem
sweeping through America’s cities. Argentina’s largest newspaper: “Protests and
Looting Throughout the U.S.” Mexico’s Diario 24 Horas: “Anti-Racist
Anger at the Gates of the White House.” Italy’s La
Stampa: “Looting, Fighting and Curfew: the U.S. at War.” The West
Australian: “U.S.A. at War With Itself.” Germany’s Bild: “This
Killer-Cop Set America Ablaze.”
They are marveling at the messy spectacle of America tearing
itself apart. It is captivating entertainment—like an epic reality tv show of celebrity
humiliation and self-destruction.
The United States is being battered from within and without. And
in truth, those who hate it and all it stands for smell blood and are on the
attack.
Lectures From Authoritarians
Who seemed to enjoy the chaos within America most? Authoritarian
governments like Iran and China—those America has criticized for trampling
human rights, muzzling the press, blocking protests and stifling free speech.
Suddenly these nations are posing as high-minded defenders of justice and
freedom, castigating “oppressive” America.
Mohammed Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, tweeted: “Some
don’t think #BlackLivesMatter. To those of us who do: it is long overdue for
the entire world to wage war against racism. Time for a #WorldAgainstRacism.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi published a rare
English-language statement “to the American people,” saying Iran stands with
them against “state oppression.” Does anyone feel like taking lessons from the
Islamic Republic of Iran on how to combat state oppression?
When a U.S. State Department spokesperson tweeted criticism of
Communist China’s crackdown on Hong Kong, a Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesperson tweeted a three-word response: “I can’t breathe.” She then wrote,
“All lives matter. We stand firmly with our African friends. We strongly oppose
all forms of racial discrimination and inflammatory expressions of racism and
hatred.” This is awfully high-minded, coming from a nation that just expelled
hundreds of African migrants from their homes into the streets of Guangzhou in
April, the latest example of decades of racial hostility toward Africans in
their country.
Civilizations do die. And great civilizations don’t gently
decline: They tend to die violently.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan bemoaned the “racist and
fascist approach” of U.S. police and “the unjust order we stand against around
the world.” This from a man who has used Turkey’s military to punish and purge
dissenters and transform his nation from a parliamentary democracy into an
authoritarian state.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry publicly spoke out against America’s
history of “unjustified violence” by police and condemned officers for
detaining Russian journalists. This came just days after several Russian
journalists were jailed for supporting an activist who was imprisoned after
criticizing Russian law enforcement. The irony gets worse: How many journalists
have been murdered in Russia since Vladimir Putin first
came to power in 2000? About 150.
What does it tell you that the protesters on America’s streets,
and their cheerleaders in media and the political class, are being encouraged
and egged on by foreign totalitarian states?
Does Communist China really care about George Floyd? Does
Islamist Iran have sincere concern about racism? Does dictatorial Russia
actually care about freedom of the press?
No. They want to destroy America. And as America bleeds and
burns, they see an opportunity. You can read about it in
last month’s Trumpet cover story: “The Global Ambition to Destroy America and Its President.”
And the real tragedy is, many people in America have the
same goal! And in their effort to destroy this country, they are
dragging a lot of terribly foolish people along
with them.
As you watch Americans fighting other Americans, looting and
burning American businesses, trashing American cities and neighborhoods, making
despicable accusations about other Americans—you need to see just as
clearly as the nation’s adversaries do that we are ruining ourselves.
We are inflicting upon ourselves a nation-killing wound.
The Left’s Shock Troops
A lot of the unrest in America today is being supported and
organized by radical leftists who, whether gradually or suddenly, openly or
secretly, want to destroy this country.
These individuals are deliberately stoking protests and mutating
them into violent riots through coordinated command-and-control and supply
chains of weapons and projectiles. Law enforcement officials and police
intelligence units across the country say these efforts are “more organized,
better coordinated and supplied than any militants seen in civil discord in
years,” report Christine Dolan and John Solomon for Just the
News (June 3). They quote U.S. Park Police Acting Chief Gregory
T. Monahan as saying, “Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the
police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal
poles hidden along the street.” “In other cities, stacks of bricks have been
discovered in staging areas that end up being slammed against store windows by
looters,” they write.
Among the active supporters of these protests and riots is the
Democratic Socialists of America. Its National Political Committee stated that
Floyd’s death was a “public execution,” part of “the deeply entrenched pattern
of violence, anti-blackness, and oppression upheld by policing in this
country.” It wrote: “This is white supremacy. … Racist police violence is not
incidental to the capitalist system; it is necessary to maintain its
operation.” This group works closely with Antifa groups, and some of its
branches are raising funds for “George Floyd Uprisings Nationwide.”
Working for the Epoch Times, journalist
Trevor Loudon has documented similar support coming from a whole range of
Communist-aligned groups in America. The Party for Socialism and Liberation is
referring to this chaos as an “absolutely critical period” for imposing its
vision of a Communist revolution. It stated, “The police will always fulfill
their role of being shock troops for white supremacy and capitalism as long as
it exists in this racist state.” The Workers World Party, which supports China,
Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Russia, loves the protests. One of its members
published an article on May 28 titled “Against police violence and capitalism,
to rebel is justified,” describing “police terror” and scorning “disgusting
bourgeois praise for nonviolence.” The Revolutionary Communist Party is using
the death of George Floyd to call for “a movement for an actual revolution.”
There are other small Communist groups such as Communist
Party usa,
Liberation Road, Socialist Alternative, and Socialist Unity Party. Together
with the 66,000 Democratic Socialists of America and their allies in Black
Lives Matter and Antifa, they can mobilize tens of thousands of people on short
notice to splash gasoline on any spark of societal friction.
Radical socialists are also getting ample help from the press.
Hollywood celebrities are paying rioters’ bail money. Big corporations have
fallen all over each other to make statements and release ads trying to align
their brands and business practices with the protesters and rioters. A Nike ad
said, “For Once, Don’t Do It”—“Don’t turn your back on racism. Don’t accept
innocent lives being taken from us.” Nickelodeon broadcasted a black screen
with “I can’t breathe” for 9 minutes. Netflix tweeted a sentiment similar to
many protest placards: “To be silent is to be complicit. Black lives matter.”
YouTube is donating $1 million for police reform. Intel is donating $1 million,
and Verizon $10 million, to “social justice” organizations.
These mainstream voices have made explicit accusations of
“systemic racism,” “white supremacy,” the genocide of blackness and the
violence of whiteness. They’re saying that the looting, burning and violence is
understandable, even right and just. They applaud the
violence.
By doing so, whether knowingly or in ignorance, they are
aligning themselves with America’s worst enemies.
Love Letter to America
In 1984, a Russian intelligence agent who defected to the United
States, Yuri Bezmenov, wrote a book, Love Letter to America. He
really did love America, and had the unique perspective of someone who knew how
the Communists were working to destroy it.
This man, like so many millions of outsiders, chose to
make America his home. He wrote, “For what other reason have thousands risked
their lives, gone to unimaginable troubles, left behind their families, their
motherland and traditional ways of life to come to America? Have you ever heard
of ‘illegal aliens’ risking their lives crossing the border at midnight into
Socialist ussr? Or the
‘boat people’ swimming oceans and drowning by the thousands just to reach the
shores of Communist China? Or defectors like me, leaving behind relative
affluence and risking bullets in the back in order to join the ‘progressive
workers paradise’ in Russia? No, we all come here to America, obviously willing
to be ‘exploited by capitalists’ and enjoy ‘oppression’ together with you.
Because we believe and know—America is a better place.”
That is something many Americans no longer believe! They really
have come to see this country as the most oppressive, most racist country in
the world. They want to see it suffer and burn.
Bezmenov’s book exposes the Communists’ plan: Get people who
live in the freest, most just, most affluent racially integrated country, with
the greatest opportunity for people of all races and types and cultures—to
believe the opposite. The method is “ideological subversion—the process of
changing the perception of reality in the minds of millions of peoples.”
Does that sound familiar?
It doesn’t just match this afternoon’s latest headlines about
the riots. It matches an ancient prophecy in
Isaiah 5:20-21. God knew that we would call evil good and good evil—putting
darkness for light and light for darkness. Look at the news: Powerful people
are calling obviously wicked looters and arsonists “just,” and they are calling
efforts to stop the violence “unjust.”
“The art of duping the masses into doing things to their own
disadvantage and making them believe it is ‘the will of people’ is as ancient
as mankind itself,” Bezmenov wrote. “The essence of subversion is best
expressed in the famous Marxist slogan (if you substitute ‘proletarians’ for a
more appropriate word): ‘Useful idiots of the world—unite!’ To achieve the
desired effect, the subverter must first make idiots out of normal people, and
divide them ….” Recent events suggest we are in that final stage now: America
has witnessed unprecedented mass idiocy, homogenized mob derangement.
Bezmenov listed the tactics, which include:
- Divide
the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial
issues of no importance.
- Destroy
people’s faith in their national leaders by holding the latter up for
contempt, ridicule and disgrace.
- Always
preach democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
- Encourage
civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the
government toward such disorders.
“The main principle of ideological subversion is turning a
stronger force against itself,” Bezmenov wrote. “Just like in the Japanese
martial arts: you do not stop the blow of a heavier more powerful enemy with an
equally forceful blow. You may simply hurt your hand. Instead you catch the
striking fist with your hand and pull the enemy in the direction of his own
blow until he crashes into a wall or any other heavy object in his way.”
He likened it to a building containing explosive materials. The
enemy starts the fire next door and focuses on keeping the occupants of the
building distracted, arguing and doing anything except noticing the approaching
flames. “Smart people would notice the fire and remove the inflammable objects
and material before the house catches the fire. Useful idiots will keep arguing
about whether it is constitutional or not to pay firefighters, or the equality
of husband and wife in domestic chores (who should remove the combustibles),
until the actual explosion blows their enfeebled brains all over the
neighborhood.” Americans are screaming at each other over relative non-issues while
ignoring the flames engulfing our house!
Bezmenov describes the effectiveness of discrediting law
enforcement, and of buying people off with socialist programs that make them
loyal to the welfare state but not the nation. “[I]n the area of social life,
by encouraging you to put your individual rights over your obligations (and
obligations private, financial, moral, patriotic, etc) the subverter achieves
the desired effect: a society composed of irresponsible individuals, each one
‘doing his own thing,’ and acting according to the ‘law of the jungle.’ Such
subversion of society is the first step to tyranny.”
This book makes for chilling reading—especially when you see the
U.S. tearing itself apart as it is now. He even wrote, “Racial and ethnic
interrelations is one of the most vulnerable areas for demoralization.” He
exposes the danger in remaining ignorant of history, in eliminating religion
and morality, in forsaking the ideals that founded this nation, in failing to
build loyalty in our people, in turning education over to radicals, in
embracing socialist thinking.
Though perhaps initiated and encouraged by kgb masterminds, these
dangerous actions are all things Americans have done to
ourselves.
A Self-Inflicted Wound
“Why are
people—especially in the United States and Britain—so blind? Why so naive?” Herbert W.
Armstrong wrote in a March 1969 Plain Truth article.
“Why are our people unable
to recognize the Communist line—the Communist plan and conspiracy—in college
and university riots, in propaganda accusing ‘police brutality,’ in ‘black
power,’ ‘black panther’ and other slogans, even in ‘civil disobedience’ and
‘nonviolent’ movements of protest which lead to violence? …
“The guiding hand in student revolt is the Communist Party,” he
continued. “Many students, their emotions stirred and enraged to violence, do
not themselves realize this. Yet, actually, these young leaders of the ‘new left’ movement
are going beyond the
Communist Party. Their plan is to stir up college-age students to revolt first,
and the teen-age high school adolescents. If they can corrupt and/or win over
tomorrow’s students, they will gain control.”
There isn’t much concern over communism in America today. But
there is little doubt that significant numbers of “tomorrow’s students” have been corrupted
and won over—and that Communist-aligned thinkers have gained a breathtaking
level of control.
As America’s streets are burning, some Americans are stridently
insisting that this evil is a good thing. They say such protest is healthy. In
truth, what is happening in America is a sign of terrible, terminal sickness!
(Isaiah 1:5-7). The more these nihilistic tendencies are encouraged, the weaker
America becomes, and the easier prey for the nation’s enemies.
America’s enemies are enjoying and taking advantage of the
spectacle, but we are
doing this to ourselves. The fact that it is a self-inflicted
wound makes it all the more tragic.
Bible prophecy said it would happen. Our editor in chief, Gerald
Flurry, has been highlighting these prophecies of race riots practically since
the beginning of the Trumpet magazine 30 years ago.
And this is going to be far more disastrous than a sea of broken
windows and charred rubble, more disastrous than a major economic disaster.
American dominance and leadership are being decimated.
Consider this assessment from Aris Roussinos, a British
journalist: “It is surely impossible to view the U.S. at this point as anything
other than a
cautionary tale, a burning city on a hill, which evokes only the
desire for our own society to avoid its fate.” Can anyone argue? Countries the
world over do see America as “a cautionary tale.”
This too points to Bible prophecies! God warned that if the
descendants of the ancient Israelites, which includes America, did not believe
and obey Him, “[T]hou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword,
among all nations …” (Deuteronomy 28:37; see also 1 Kings 9:7; 2 Chronicles
7:20; Psalm 44:14).
‘You Have Destroyed Yourself’
Civilizations
do die. And great civilizations don’t gently decline: They tend to die
violently.
You are witnessing the death of a great nation. And what will
the world become when its “last best hope” for human freedom burns itself
within and gets destroyed from without?
These problems cannot be solved by man. Do you really think the
solution is written in a politician’s campaign speech notes, or on some
celebrity’s shirt, or in an e-mail from a billionaire ceo about “having a
national conversation,” or on a foreign leader’s Twitter page, or on a smashed
liquor store in spray-paint?
The Bible prophesied that too: “The way of peace they know not;
and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths …”
(Isaiah 59:8).
Do you really think the solution is written in a politician’s
campaign speech notes, or in an e-mail from a billionaire ceo about “having a
national conversation,” or on some celebrity’s shirt, or on a smashed liquor
store in spray-paint?

Why
Socialists in America Are Excited
Surveying the
masses of self-quarantined needy, they don’t see calamity, but phenomenal
opportunity.
Can you
guess who is happy right now? The global health crisis wrought by covid-19 has
been dramatically eclipsed by a global economic crisis
wrought by our response to covid-19. Economic activity has cratered, businesses
are failing, production has stopped. The United Nations predicts that even if
the world rebounds financially over the rest of the year, extreme poverty will
engulf as many as 132 million more people, and those facing acute hunger will
double to 265 million.
To most people, this is a catastrophe. But some few are actually
excited about it.
