'Looting is reparations': BLM protesters gather outside Chicago PD in support of looters who ransacked city Sunday night, as organizer claims 'anything they wanted to take, they can take because these businesses have insurance'

Black Lives Matter Chicago held a protest Monday night in which they defended looting as a form of 'reparations'

Drawbridges into Chicago were raised Monday night and freeway exits closed as downtown was locked down

SWAT teams were seen patrolling the streets of the Illinois city on Monday afternoon

Protests and looting erupted when a false rumor spread that police had shot and killed a child on Sunday

Police in fact had shot and injured a 20-year-old man, who ran from them, turning to fire his gun at officers

Latrell Allen has been charged with attempted murder after the shooting on Sunday which sparked the riots

Chicago's Magnificent Mile was hit by looters after hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police

People then started organizing on Twitter and Facebook to loot downtown in a caravan of vehicles

The violence coincided with the sixth anniversary of Michael Brown's death in Ferguson, Missouri

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the looting had nothing to do with peaceful protest over police brutality

She denied that the decision not to prosecute looters during George Floyd riots had spurred on looters now

Black Lives Matter Chicago said early Monday's looting of stores was a form of 'reparations' as the group held a protest Monday night in support of the more than 100 people arrested after an evening of violence.

Downtown Chicago was otherwise quiet after authorities cut off access, with drawbridges leading into the city pulled up and freeway exits blocked after riots sparked by a false rumor of a child shot by police.

At least 13 police officers were injured as the violence claimed an estimated $65 million in property damage.

Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, called the looting 'reparations'.

'I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats,' Atkins said. 'That makes sure that person has clothes.

'Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.'

Clintons and Federal Reserve stole Fort Knox gold

In October of 2009 China received a shipment of gold bars from the United States Department of the Treasury Bullion Depository in Fort Knox. The gold is regularly exchanged between countries to pay debts and to settle the balance of trade. Most gold is exchanged and stored in vaults under the supervision of a special organization based in London, the London Bullion Market Association (or LBMA). When the shipment was received, the Chinese government ordered special tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars as China is the largest foreign holder of US Treasury securities. Chinese officials were shocked to learn that the bars were fake. The gold shipment contained a tungsten core with a thin coating of real gold. These tested gold bars originated in the US and had been stored in Fort Knox for years.

The Chinese government quickly launched an investigation and issued a statement that implicated the US government in the scheme. The gold shipment serial numbers revealed that these fake bars were made by the Federal Reserve bankers during the Clinton administration. It was during the Bill and Hillary Clinton presidency that the bankers of the Federal Reserve manufactured between 1.3 and 1.5 million 400 oz tungsten blanks. 640,000 of these tungsten blanks were gold plated and were shipped to Ft. Knox where they remain there to this day.

According to Chinese investigators, the balance of this 1.3 million to 1.5 million 400 oz tungsten cache was also gold plated and then “sold” into the international gold market. Not only has the United States gold stocks been swapped with fake gold the global market has also been been defrauded by the Federal Reserve bankers and the Clintons. As much as $600 billion dollars worth of gold has been affected by the Clinton Gold Heist.

A New York Post article titled, DA investigating NYMEX executive ,Manhattan, New York, –Feb. 2, 2004 indicated that the Clinton Gold Heist was being investigated by US officials. The article, written by Jennifer Anderson, reported that “A top executive at the New York Mercantile Exchange is being investigated by the Manhattan district attorney. Sources close to the exchange said that Stuart Smith, senior vice president of operations at the exchange, was served with a search warrant by the district attorney’s office last week. Details of the investigation have not been disclosed, but a NYMEX spokeswoman said it was unrelated to any of the exchange’s markets. She declined to comment further other than to say that charges had not been brought. A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office also declined comment.”

The offices of the Senior Vice President of Operations — NYMEX — is exactly where you would go to find the records [serial number and smelter of origin] for EVERY GOLD BAR ever physically settled on the exchange. They are required to keep these records. These precise records would show the lineage of all the physical gold settled on the exchange and hence “prove” that the amount of gold in question could not have possibly come from the U.S. mining operations — because the amounts in question coming from U.S. smelters would undoubtedly be vastly bigger than domestic mine production.

School District Says Students Can’t Wear Pajamas Or Slippers For Online Classes

Kids will take many of their classes online when schools open back up, but administrators are still attempting to control what the children are wearing.

In Springfield, Illinois, kids will be taking many of their classes online when schools open back up, but administrators are still attempting to control what the children are wearing while they are at home.

The town’s school district will still be forcing students to follow the dress code, even if they are home in front of the computer. Students will not be able to wear pajama pants, slippers, hats, bandannas or sunglasses while taking classes from home.

Jason Wind, the district’s director of student support, said that, “We don’t need students in pajamas and all those other things while on their Zoom conferences.”

The students will also be expected to be “sitting up out of bed, preferably at a desk or table.”

District spokeswoman, Bree Hankins, insisted that the parents had a say in the new guidelines, and said that they aren’t threatening any serious punishments for rule-breakers.

“Our hope is that students approach remote learning as they would in a classroom setting, to the extent possible given each student’s individual circumstances. However, we understand the interpretation of the dress code in a remote learning environment will differ from a normal school setting,” Hankins said.

However, some parents have objected to the requirements, suggesting that it needlessly creates more work for them.

Christy Schmidt, a mother who has two children go to school in Springfield expressed her frustration with the policy to the New York Times.

“How much hassle are you going to give the parent with four kids, working a full-time job trying to support their kids, and their kid attended the Zoom meeting, but he was in pajamas?” Schmidt said.

School will begin in Springfield on August 31st, with a rotating schedule. Students will attend school two days a week, and then continue their classes online for the remaining 3 days of the school week.

The Washington Post's Antifa Riot Chic Fasc-ion Photo Spread Is a Real Stunner

The Washington Post’s fashion spread – make that fasc-ion spread – glorifying violent Portland antifa and Black Lives Matter members is nothing short of stunning, and not in a good way.

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that the newspaper that still pushes the premise that President Trump is a Russian secret agent would ennoble violent street thugs. Yet hope springs eternal that the paper which proclaims, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” wouldn’t side with the literal black bloc clad anti-democratic dark side.

Bombings, attempted murder, intimidating little old ladies, assaulting cops, fashioning IEDs and throwing them at cops, arson, firing ball bearings at police officers. These are the things for which The Washington Post is lauding the rioting rabble.

The Washington Post calls the “before and after” fashion spread a feature story about antifa and Black Lives Matter “protesters” in Portland, but it’s really a glorification of Portland’s violent protests.

This is the culture the Post argues is inimical to Portland. “Protest is what Portland does best,” the paper coos, cheering on the destruction. The vast majority of Portlanders are expected to comply it seems. Don’t get in the way of Portland’s destiny – what it “does best” – because you’ll ruin everything.

Antifa watcher Andy Ngo pointed out the August 8th story which features eleven “protesters” in their regular street clothes and then gowned up in their antifa riot gear explaining why they rushed to join. He called it a “glowing photo essay on antifa riot fashion.” He’s right. That’s exactly what this is.

He asks a legitimate question: What is wrong with the reporter and editors there?

The photos feature one gas-masked equipped protester, with her leaf blower, which is used to blow back any tear or CS gases back toward the officers dispensing them. This provides protection for her “comrades” – yes, that’s what they call them – to continue throwing bombs and setting fires at the US courthouse in downtown Portland.

Rowan Atkinson invokes wrath of cancel culture for raising concerns about controversial ‘hate crime’ bill

Comedian Rowan Atkinson has incurred the wrath of woke warriors on social media after voicing his opposition to a controversial hate crimes law which he believes will stifle free speech and rational debate.

The British comedy legend was among a group of authors, journalists, philosophers and campaigners who signed an open letter against legislation put forward by the Scottish Nationalist Party, warning of the “unintended consequences” the bill could have.

The signees raised specific concern over provisions around making “stirring up hatred” an offence, even if it was not the intention of the person making the comments.

“The Bill creates stirring up offences without any intent being examined; merely that the words, action, or artwork might do so. This offence could even be applied to being in possession of materials produced by someone else, where sharing the material could stir up hatred,” the letter states.

The unintended consequences of this well meaning Bill risk stifling freedom of expression, and the ability to articulate or criticise religious and other beliefs.

Concerns have been raised that people like JK Rowling could have been targeted by the new law, after she expressed her views on transgender issues.

Other prominent people to add their name to the letter include the human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and the philosopher AC Grayling. The Law Society of Scotland, the Scottish Newspaper Society, the Scottish Police Federation and the Catholic Church have also raised concerns about the bill.

“The reasonable and well-intended ambition to contain obnoxious elements in society, has created a society of an extraordinarily authoritarian and controlling nature. It is what you might call The New Intolerance, a new but intense desire to gag uncomfortable voices of dissent,” Atkinson argues in the resurfaced clip.
