Kunstler: Guess What — It’s a Hustle

Public Policy

Of course, George Floyd didn’t deserve to die with a cop’s knee on his neck and his face mashed into the pavement, but after yesterday’s first of what will be several funerals for the now revered former armed robber and convict, you’d think he was the second coming (and going) of George Washington. Uh, check that… Washington was a slave-owner and, by definition, a racist. Make that Julius Caesar — based on the way that the Rev. Al Sharpton was bellowing at funeral No.1 Thursday in Minneapolis. Say, what? Julius Caesar owned slaves too? How about Abe Lincoln then? Naw, just another white man? And a secret racist (so they say).

Racist, racist racist! America is racist! Racism is systemic! Racism flows in the hallowed blood of the American system, going back all the way to 1619! All white people are racist. Get down on your bellies and crawl like a snake and beg forgiveness for your natural-born, inalienable racism! Anyway, that’s reality according to The New York Times, America’s premier journal of racism studies.

To prove that America is hopelessly racist, the nation has been treated to, what — ? — seven, or is it now eight nights of looting and burning by young black people acting out every racist stereotype from the Ku Klux Klan official manual of racism. The rest of the news media bent over backwards to avoid deploring the mayhem in the streets, rather, to invert the very looting, burning, and rioting as proof positive that America is racist to the bone. Look what you made us do! Steal sneakers and Rolex watches! Shoot cops, including an old retired black cop (uh, my bad) and run over several more cops with cars! Destroy businesses large and small that have been shut down for three months by corona virus to make sure they won’t ever dare to resume their racist trade in things that white people like!

Has anyone detected a hustle in the past week’s dire proceedings? Well, how would you define a hustle? How about: an attempt to gain advantage by deceitful means. What! Are you saying there was something dishonest about the reaction from sea to shining sea to George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis? I am. For example, the massive protest marches. Who exactly was disputing that the death of George Floyd was a miscarriage of justice? Nobody. Did the cops get away with it? No, they’re all getting indicted for murder or being accessories to a murder by standing around watching it and doing nothing to stop it.

No, this is a hustle, all right, perhaps the most obvious hustle in US history. It’s the Democratic Party’s last stratagem to get the monster of its own creation, Donald Trump, out of the White House. RussiaGate didn’t do it (in fact, it’s backfiring rather horribly now), ImpeachmentGate was a dud. Welcome to GeorgeFloydGate! I know it’s hard to imagine at this moment of maximum televised sanctimony, but this gambit is going to flop, too. A lot of voters have probably noticed that the wholesale looting and burning of US cities is not in the national interest. And that the people who do it don’t deserve special favors.

Of course, this is also a moment of maximum collective acute psychosis in America. The nation is pretty badly shook-up after three months of corona virus lockdown.  Millions watched their careers, incomes, businesses, and futures wash down the drain. Upsetting as the killing of George Floyd was, these losses are monumental in comparison. 99 percent of the people in America are scared shitless about where all this economic damage is taking the nation — even as they watch the stock markets go up and up and up. By the way, the past week of looting, burning, and rioting was especially fruitful for Wall Street. D’ya think that might eventually tick off a few taxpayers who understand that the stock-pumping is being accomplished by the Federal Reserve brokering more national debt in their name?

Joe Biden’s campaign has announced that he will headline the next funeral in George Floyd’s hometown of Houston, the place where Mr. Floyd accomplished the home invasion and aggravated robbery of a woman in 2009 that sent him to state prison for five years. (He was turning his life around in Minneapolis where, ten days ago, he suffered a lapse of judgment while high on fentanyl and passed a counterfeit $20 bill in a corner store, leading to his arrest and unjust death.) I’m counting on Joe Biden to raise America’s awareness about systemic racism at that event — if he can remember where he is and what’s going on.

Also on Thursday this week, the Rev. Al Sharpton announced plans for a march on Washington in August, perhaps just before the Democratic convention in Milwaukee for maximum effect. You may be aware that Joe Biden has obliged himself (sort of) to put a woman-of-color on the ticket for vice-president. Though Stacey Abrams, the real governor of Georgia, seems like the inevitable choice, I have a better idea. Wouldn’t it be perfect to bring back Tawana Brawley for this historic role? She figured so decisively in establishing the Rev. Mr. Sharpton’s cred as leader in the long quest for social justice. She’s all growed-up now and ready to rock! Tawana Brawley, America turns its lonely eyes to you! #Tawana Brawley for veep! Spread the news far and wide!

    The biggest threat to Amerika is white privilege. Those who believe in that “White Genocide” conspiracy theory are full of shit.

    The Dems now want abolition of police. Great idea! Especially in Negro neighborhoods.  In 2019, they say, about 7,000 Blacks were murdered, virtually all of them by other Blacks.  If, now, we can eliminate all cop precincts where they live, just think:  maybe we can be relieved of 70,000 burrheads.  No messy riots caused by police brutality;  fewer accusations of racism flung at Whites by the Yid media;  no more buildings destroyed and White livelihoods wiped out.  Let’s go for it!

    The Democrats are smarter than we thought.  With the reduction in darkie numbers, there will be fewer votes for the Alzheimer’s patient in a Delaware basement and his Negress VP candidate.  No self-respecting Republican should try to block this Dem move.

    And the Left will be overjoyed with the reduction in melanin-enriched types — because they will be able to blame it on Trump.  The most brilliant strategy the Sinistrals have come up with since the Civil War.

  17. Abraham van Helsing on Sat, 6th Jun 2020 4:42 am 

    “White supremacists and other hate groups (KKK etc.) are the reason why the West is fucked up.”

    Eh no, Richard Guenette, YOU are the reason the West is fucked up.

    Question: what is a racist?

    Answer: somebody who distinguishes between race and ethnicity, like: “I am white, he is black”. That in itself is not problematic, it is just stating a fact, even CNN does that.

    In the eyes of the Rrrrracism!-howlers, it gets problematic if members of a given ethnicity openly admit that they have a “slight preference for their own kind”. The universal truth on this planet is that everybody [**] has a “slight preference for their own kind”, in a similar fashion as that parents have a “slight [*] preference for their own children over those of their neighbors”

    [*] slight = gigantic.
    [**] white Americans, forming a “nation of immigrants”, have the weakest sense of ethnic identity in the entire world, because they are an uprooted “nation” of immigrants, who love to imagine that they are morally better than Europeans and are therefore late with reacting to the rapid demographic changes of what was once their country. Their universalist christian religion isn’t a solid protector of ethnic identity either.

    Race-ethnicity is like an extended family. I’m Dutch and work in a very international high-tech environment, with lots of “people of color” from all over the world. On an individual level I am not a racist. I have no emotional problems of working with educated and competent Muslims or Africans. And if I would have a problem with that, I would be on the pavement in five minutes. Apart from serving my own interests and earn a good wage, I also serve the interests of very globalist shareholders, who couldn’t care less about Dutch identity. I may not be a racist on a micro-level, on a macro-level I’m very well a “racist” and I know that most of my fellow Dutch are that too. “Racist” meaning: don’t like it one bit that the Netherlands gets darker and darker with every passing year. Everybody realizes that if nothing changes, the Netherlands will be gone for ever in a few decades. In reaction to that trend, everywhere in Europe so-called populist parties have sprung up, much to the dismay of the media, who all follow the globalist template of the US empire. Why does the Netherlands run the risk of disappearing for ever?

    – US empire globalist media brainwashing and their holocaust guilt propaganda, destroying national defense mechanisms #Nazis!
    – globalist international corporations that care about share holder value only and who promote an international labor market and keep wages low
    – relatively easy means of international travel
    – global total information access. Even many Africans have access to the internet and see a European world that is very different from their shabby mud hut reality and decide to go their, knowing that a globalist leftist, US-backed establishment will receive them with open arms. Open Society Program #GeorgeSoros

    So how is this all going to end?

    I tip on the British conservative MP Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood, to begin with in the US, where below 20 only 45% are still white.

    I tip on the US sociologist Samuel Huntington, who predicted that the world of the 21st century will be “identitarian”, rather than globalist. He came with his message BEFORE the Islamic State, before Erdogan moved Turkey away from a European future towards a conservative Islamist one. It was before China turned from a economic Marxist country in what is essentially a national-socialist country it is today. Advanced Asian countries, Russia and Eastern Europe have zero inclination to follow the Anglo multicult example. And if this migration isn’t stopped, even Western Europe will invent neo-fascist defense mechanisms in order to survive. The strength or nationalist movement is proportional the changing demographics.

    And finally the “Great Satan” itself. The eloquent black media star Van Jones correctly identified the miraculous Trump 2016 victory as a “white lash” and that won’t go away. The Trump victory was a confession of white America to itself that it hated the way the country had changed and that sentiment will only grow in strength and can only end in a tragedy. Such is the power of “racism”, a weapon word, invented by “Gods Chosen People” and promoted by their media in an attempt to conquer the world. In the end, their 2nd attempt at world communism, the racial egalitarian one, will end up exactly as their first attempt of economic egalitarianism: the way of the Dodo and land on the scrap heap of history.

    “Reading what this man says and applying the rule of Qui Bono … it makes more sense that DT is inflaming the situation, to detract from his less than optimal way of handling the Covid-19 crisis”

    Simon, nobody handled that situation well. It has been a learning experience. Sure, some in Asia or maybe New Zealand did better but that is becuase of idiosyncrasies of the population or the place they are in. Trump has been screwed with by the liberals in this Covid deal and they deserve part of the blame. It is just another tool of Trump derangement instead of caring about the issue of a pandemic. They are happy about the pandemic. It gave them reasons to destroy the economy with socialistic polices and trump derangement politics. Trump has screwed up a lot of things but the liberals gave us trump and they are half the problem with the screw ups.

    George Floyd’s death, and who he was no longer matters. It wouldn’t matter now if he ate children. What matters now is that it’s all somehow Trumps fault, and watch as the western world goes full on Karen. Floyd’s good name will be dragged through the mud in December if Trumps loses to put down the smoldering revolt and black America is asked again to shut up while the whites virtue signal that THEY won America for him. Trump, who cares about Trump, this is a law and order debate though the bleating media are screaming mainly at the already converted. Cities will decide the election. Biden’s campaign relies on the women voters. My guess is they might stay home in disgust at both sides. ‘Its all cause Trump is a racist’ might work, but the left has NO alternative economic model. That’s gonna count in the coming months. Floyd is yesterdays news, the main thing now is to continue the culture war, scare the masses with peer pressure to fit in to ‘woke’ culture and to wear the gang symbols of bandana (facemask) cap and shades with a backpack of either stones, molotov cocktails, or stolen goods to fit into the new normal of a cityscape destroyed. Will the Dems pay to fix these places? Not likely, the destroyed areas will be sold to mega corps as they will redevelop them the quickest. The cities will be hollowed out and gentrified by the Dems so civilised people can live in the 4th industrial revolution.
