Major donors consider funding Black Lives Matter
Politico via Drudge ^ | 11/13/15 05:11 AM EST | Kenneth P. Vogel and Sarah Wheaton

Posted on 11/13/2015 5:57:16 AM PST by W.

Some of the biggest donors on the left plan to meet behind closed doors next week in Washington with leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement and their allies to discuss funding the burgeoning protest movement, POLITICO has learned.

The meetings are taking place at the annual winter gathering of the Democracy Alliance major liberal donor club, which runs from Tuesday evening through Saturday morning and is expected to draw Democratic financial heavyweights, including Tom Steyer and Paul Egerman.

The DA, as the club is known in Democratic circles, is recommending its donors step up check writing to a handful of endorsed groups that have supported the Black Lives Matter movement. And the club and some of its members also are considering ways to funnel support directly to scrappier local groups that have utilized confrontational tactics to inject their grievances into the political debate.

It's a potential partnership that could elevate the Black Lives Matter movement and heighten its impact. But it's also fraught with tension on both sides, sources tell POLITICO.

A leftist, neo communist movement which hopes to influence the election.

Black Power A Done Deal

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."

"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."

"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks."

"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

Someone is funding them. The leaders appear all over the country. Hotels, meals and plane flights cost money. Add to that the signs and organizations in cities, someone is footing the bill. I think Soros has already said he is a supporter. And he’s a supporter of open borders and aiding the immigrant invasion of Europe and the U.S.

He should be taken to the Hague on charges of genocide.

It is obvious to me that when Biden bailed out, Obama went to plan B - create riots so he can declare Martial Law. This student unrest is being orchestrated from the White House.

These tantrums by blacks are not emblematic of victory but failure; after decades of freebies (including unfettered admission to higher education opportunities), after the election of a “black” (mulatto) president, they are still left behind by every immigrant group that washes up - including many without basic English skills. Never mind their animosity towards whites; they can’t compete with Hispanics that are enveloping their neighborhoods.

While they are completely over-represented in news coverage, government policy, etc., it is precisely because of their failures, not successes.

Excellent read and oh, so true. Send a link to Trump’s campaign HQ - the abomination needs to be addressed.

I’d love for someone to learn the time and location of that meeting in advance and do a full Monty Guy Fawkes on it.

Obama went to plan B - create riots so he can declare Martial Law.

This story has been bandied about for some time. The logistics speak another tale.

For Obama to declare nationwide Martial Law, the circumstances would have to be no less than a series of devastating terror attacks or race riots across the country at the same time.

The Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter and all other useful idiots lack the manpower, the coordination and the funds to attempt something like this.

These individual incidents are somewhat isolated and fall under the jurisdiction of individual state's governors.

He may think he can but Obama cannot intercede in such a fashion as to step on states' rights to that degree. Not yet anyway.

Some will disagree, as per FR norms, but I'm just calling it like I see it.

I think 2 million plus Conservatives boycotting sponsors will fix this problem.

I agree 100%.

And you might include the desperation tactics by leftist whites as well.

They are unwilling to accept the fact that the majority of blacks just do not have what it takes to succeed in a modern, western style culture.

This in spite of blacks being the beneficiaries of most of the $22 TRILLION DOLLARS spent on wefare and other wealth redistribution since 1965.

Since leftist whites won't accept the fact that the failure of the black "community" is of the blacks own making they must find another group and/or ideology to blame.

The leftist whites on campuses also won’t accept those facts because it may shine a spotlight on their own failures; they have little to offer the “real world”. In a world where they can pretend semi-literate blacks are students, they themselves are sages...

"This student unrest is being orchestrated from the White House."

One of the prime instigators at Mizzou and the one who made the false KKK charge, met with Obama at the White House.
