T. Belman. I asked my friend Google how much money has been donated to BLM and I was told;
Funding. Black Lives Matter have received over $100 million in funding from the Open Society Foundations, Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy among others.
Also in one of the videos I posted, the narrator said that the sum was over $175 million before he stopped counting.

That’s what Marxists do and they call that a science.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Hi, Sebastien. I was saying a serious thing in a light-hearted way. I’m also intriqaued by numerical coincidences. I even studied astrology once, in my youth. I was particularly interested in exact “aspects” between planets. I even predicted that my girlfriend was in danger of having an accident one day, and it turned out that she barely avoided a crash. It freaked her out; but that’s about it.
After accepting Jesus as Messiah, I gave up astrology; but I see that some Christians are so much into numerical coincidences, they might as well get into astrology. Jonathan Cahn is one such; and of course, many Jews are into numerology.
I’m not completely knocking the study; but I do notice that God seems to enjoy putting a monkeywrench into the works, right when we think we’ve got it all figured out. “Predicting” the past, on the other hand, is a more sure science.
@ Ted Belman:
Hi, Ted
Nigel Farage also got dropped from “Leading Britain’s Conversation” becaise he spoke against the destruction of statues of figures like Winston Churchill, William Gladstone, Abraham Lincoln and Lord Baden Powell.
Not a good day for free speech.
I just read that this video caused all Tucker’s sponsors to pull out.
Can the cancelling f the show be far behind?
@ Sebastien Zorn:
It’s not like you not to “get” anything almost immediately, but …. M. the singer is reputed to be a very big believer on Kabbalah and by virtue of this, numerology. Because Kabbalah was Jewish oriented, she believes that she herself is a Jew, and therefore, “by you a chaver and landtsman”… I was just speciously connecting the numbers co-incidence to that regimen…and yes, as a joke.
@ Michael S:
I know you are joking, but I don’t get it. Please explain. I wasn’t predicting anything or even assigning any particular meaning to it, just observing the interesting coincidental symmetry of the dates involved.
@ Edgar G.:
Who, the singer? I know you are joking, but I don’t get it. Please explain.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
This numerological coincidence info might give you an intro to Madonna………
@ Sebastien Zorn:
If you are interested in military matters you’ll find it entrancing I believe. I did and re read many times. Excellent as nearly all the French generals were, it’s very suggestive that when they were being beaten, and retreating, Napoleon took some time off, dashed into Spain, took control, and straightaway turned the tide.In fact was directly responsible for Moore’s defeat and retreat etc. Moore was one of England’s premier generals, so it shows just how different Old Boney was to all others. (without mentioning that he also was an almost non-pareil statesman and civil administrator.)
@ Sebastien Zorn:
The numbers work perfectly,when “predicting” backwards. I predict that the US Presidential Election will be held on 3 Nov. 2020, unless it isn’t. Beyond that, I can’t be too sure.
@ Edgar G.:
Well, I just started the book and it begins in 1807. So, yes there is the hundred year gap and the 2nd coincidence is just all the sevens. It was published in 1907 and republished in 2017, and the third sort of coincidence is that it was republished just a decade past a century after the first edition. I dunno, it just struck me.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
I missed the coincidence, which I believe you meant, when you wrote “events in 1807 reprinted in 1907.”(paraphrasing)….Yes, that would be a coincidence of some sort; an exact 100 year gap. But Wellington didn’t arrive in the Peninsula until he disembarked at Lisbon in 1808.
I have a vague recollection that he won a major battle against Junot, and then was superseded by Sir Hew Dalrymple, who was a fool, and soon recalled,( along with Wellington), to be replaced by Sir John Moore, who was the fatal hero in Moore’s retreat to Corunna, which is also included in Robinson’s work.
There was another superior to Wellington there called Sir Harry Burrard, I believe another fool, also soon recalled. Then Wellington was again reappointed, maybe, with the only transportation being by ship, sometime in 1809 but am not sure. I’d have to look it up and am too lazy. It’s of no importance anyway.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Oh yes I’ve come across the one volume editions many times. I just happened to buy the 3 vol set -from interest. This was a long time ago, and I don’t think that the one vol editions were available yet. I would have preferred the original anyway, being a sort of collector ….
As for being reprinted in modern times, the set is (or was) on the Sandhurst and other Military College curricula for many years, and may still be. The descriptions are very well detailed with about 30 or so Huge maps folded up and stowed inside the books as part of them.. Many of the battles, in tactics, strategies, attacks, fortified positions, and defence, are innovative, as well as classic movements with every detail clearly explained. A much sought after 3 vol set I understand
@ Michael S:
“Funding.” Now you can tell who is misdirecting the protests into the divide-and-conquer and let-them-blow-off-steam channel.
It is not a revolution, it is an anti-revolution maneuver paid for by the rich and powerful.
“Funding. Black Lives Matter have received over $100 million in funding from the Open Society Foundations, Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy among others.”
Thanks for the research, Ted. I think someone here, possibly Reader, at one point asked for proof that Soros had his hands in this. I think they should re-name themselves, “Black Lies Matter“.
Good piece by Carlson. I think he’s right, that what these globalists and anarchists have unleashed is dangerous to America and to the world. I used to run with this crowd: They have been chomping at the bit since at least the Antiwar movement in the early 70s, and probably since long before that, to create a climate of mass disorder which they could then move into and manipulate. Now, it seems to them, is their moment. Is it a 1905 Revolution moment? a Spartacist uprising moment? a Hoffbrauhaus putsch? or is it the real thing, their October 1917 Revolution? I wish them every failure.
@ Edgar G.:
All 3 volumes (780 pages) are available in one combined edition on Scribd which is something like Netflix but for books, articles, audiobooks, and sheet music. You can read all you want for ten dollars a month. Amazon Kindle also has it but each separate volume is 5 dollars. It’s a funny coincidence that the book which covers events in 1807 was published in 1907 and republished in 2017.
@ Edgar G.:
Thanks for the interesting reference. All three volumes of the book are available, separately, for $5 apiece, on Amazon Kindle. This is the link for Volume 1. https://www.amazon.com/Wellingtons-Campaigns-Peninsular-Including-Commanders-ebook/dp/B073QBDBC5
I just made the mistake of buying volume 1, before I discovered that it can be read for free with a $10 a month Scribd subscription which i already have. https://www.scribd.com/
@ Reader:
You are absolutely all wrong in your assertions. No, besieging Paris until they were eating stray cats, is NOT an atrocity in wartime. War is War, Opposing sides kill one another in all kinds of gruesome ways. There are accepted Laws of War. Paris could have surrendered without bloodshed, or the necessity to hunt stray cats, but they choose not to, until they had NO alternative-which they didn’t have right from the beginning -but they couldn’t see that.
The Franco-Prussian War was 45 years before WW1, and although you say “no one ever wept about the poor French “smarting”…etc The French did their own weeping, which was plenty. They, the country of Napoleon the Great, trodden in the dust and deprived not only of a vast indemnification, but their precious territories of Alsace and Lorraine. And even worse, their Emperor was taken prisoner and dethroned, the whole government structure was shattered, leading to a long period of post war civil trauma, assassinations, unstable governments and more.
So stop talking your nonsense. By 1914, Germany, which had been preparing for this War for 10 years, had advanced the strategies and planning of military preparedness to a fine point. Far greater that anyone could comprehend, until they felt it’s power.
And I don’t see anyone “pitying” the Germans of the terms of the Versailles Treaty, which they broke anyway, and annulled later.
I don’t know where you get all this stuff from. Your imagination I suppose, but I don’t know. I DO know that you take on yourself to know what I’M thinking and MY motives, in all of which you are incorrect. It doesn’t bother you, as you just switch to a sidetrack and on to another subject.
***One thing I may agree with in your definition of an atrocity. Yes it may have been an atrocity perpetrated on the cats, But to put a cat’s life above that of a human being is itself an atrocity***. .
Please detail for me the book and author where the Bismark quote was printed. And Pulease…not Wiki.
It is not just “your opinion that they are simply traditional warfare” about the definition of an atrocity in wartime. Nor because “Blockades were used in antiquity”/
“Blockade” is a term primarily used by blocking enemy movements on water, outside harbours, at river deltas etc, and by Naval Forces, not land forces as I pointed out, but for simplicity I followed your usage for Land Warfare. Perhaps you’ve heard of the term “a blockade runner”. Look up the meaning.
You have only a very loose idea as to what you’re talking about, and in fact, as I’ve mentioned in the past, you HAVE to have the last word and it’s useless discussing anything with you-which is a pity.
@ Edgar G.:
You do not consider blockading Paris until Parisians were forced to eat stray cats an atrocity?
Because blockades were used in antiquity, they were in the 19th century, in your opinion, simply traditional warfare?
And the siege of Jerusalem by the Romans wasn’t an atrocity because it was war time and the Romans had to win?
I am amazed at your logic.
The conversation with Bismarck is not apocryphal, it actually took place at the time.
Anyway, my point was that France paid its reparations to Germany for doing practically nothing in comparison to what Germany did in WWI, and no one ever wept about the poor French people “smarting” because of this “injustice” while the Germans who went so far as to ruin their currency so they wouldn’t pay the reparations for the incredible damage they caused in WWI and who 21 years later caused another worldwide carnage which was far worse that the 1st one are still pitied for having suffered the “injustices of the Versailles Treaty”!
AMAZING!
@ Reader:
I neglected to mention below, that I’m reading a book about spies in WW! and Von Mackensen’s name came up in it. So, although I knew something about him, I decided to look up a bit more on his whole career.
@ Reader:
Apropos of what we’ve been discussing, I was just reading up on an interesting old fellow. Field Marshall Von Mackensen, and in the account there was a mention that Hitler had “adopted the traditions of Prussian militarism”.
@ Reader:
Bismark’s “attitude” is apocryphal. (and…after all an “attitude” isn’t an atrocity..) Blockading (Paris) is a tactic used in nearly all wars since antiquity, and saves the blockading troops from tremendous losses in straight-on attacks. (Blockade, however is generally used by naval forces against harbours and waterways).
Jerusalem was laid under siege by the Romans, which could be called a blockade.
Read Maj.-Gen. C.W. Robinson’s “Wellington in the Peninsula 1808-1814, including Moore’s Retreat to Corunna”… still used by military students. I have a 3 vol early edition, and the books are fascinating. Many sieges and blockades, also frontal attacks on walled cities -with massive slaughter. Because of those losses, the enraged (British) troops, which were mostly Irish and usually drunk, would sack the city looting, murdering, raping, arson, and worse..
So no, I do not consider blockading Paris an atrocity. I recall that they were reduced to eating stray cats before surrendering.
As for my age when War broke out, I was old enough to read anything ever written. But I’d been reading since age 2 1/2. I have several books on all these topics you bring up, and have read -and understood- them from cover to cover.
@ Edgar G.:
Edgar, I am curious, how old were you when the war started?
Whether the Germans were “smarting”
with or without a cause, it cannot justify starting murderous world wars.
German/Prussian atrocities?
How about blockading and starving Paris?
When Bismarck was asked “What if the French send their women and children to the battlefield?”
Bismarck answered: “We’ll order our soldiers to shoot them.”
“What if the soldiers refuse?”
Bismarck answered: “In this case, we’ll shoot the soldiers.”
Nice attitude, huh?
@ Reader:
Naturally I disagree with you on many points. Prussian militarism was the dominant force in Germany right through WW2, and formed the blueprint of how the army was organised, the Geneal Staff concept and other matters.
Yes I know all about Hitler the Austrian “house painter” probably better than you, as I lived through the war and there was much literature about every facet of it. I have described on this site, how my home was bombed and ruined early in the War, and I was thrown across the room in a bed filled with glass shards. etc. Not pleasant.
I can recall the front page of our morning paper when War was declared.
{{I recall all about Hacha, Dolfuss and Schussnigg too. Can you say the same without Wiki….? And pre-WW2 there was some European statesman who was reputedly pushed from a window to his death. I just can’t recall who it was}}.
As for the Franco-Prussian War, please recount the atrocities committed by the Prussians. And as for the Germans “smarting”, they had cause to, since they lost the Rhineland for about 15 years, and the Ruhr, for a few, because they defaulted on their War indemnity. And you are a bit mixed up somehow, which is not surprising. I always have read that WW1 caused nearly 25 million deaths, with about the same amount of wounded. Definitely NOT only 10 million.
The French had been smarting too before WW2, since they lost Alsace and Lorraine,
Don’t get me wrong. I’n not happy about any of the above, I’d be happier if I’d been born about 50 years later.
@ Edgar G.:
“smarting over …Versailles Treaty” After Franco-Prussian War which was marked not by French but by German atrocities, the Germans imposed huge reparations on France which France paid in spite of the economic depression of the early 1870s because “the honor of France demanded it”.
Apparently, the honor of Germany demanded NOT paying the reparations which were rightfully imposed on the country which started a horrific war which resulted in 10 million dead and I don’t know how many wounded and was a major factor leading to the Russian revolution and to who knows what else.
I am sick and tired of hearing about the poor, poor Germany, “the most civilized country in the world” (it wasn’t) which was forced to turn to Hitler and to seek justice by starting another world war [this time worth 85 million dead] because of the psychological wounds caused by the cruel and uncalled for Versailles Treaty”.
Any other country would be leveled and bombed into oblivion if it did these things – Germany was lucky because what it did served the British and American purposes.
Hitler was Austrian, not Prussian, German militaristic component was not limited to Prussia, and there was more to Prussia than just militarism.
@ Reader:
Reader you are quite right. But the “4 good years” entailed 4 VERY Bad YEARS for the Jewish People (and political opponents). And Hindenburg was overwhelmed by the uncontrollable civic disturbances caused mostly by Hitler’s Brownshirts. And very much to the point, the Germans were still smarting over the punitive Versailles Peace Treaty they were forced to sign at the end of WW1.
The militaristic component of Germany was mainly centred in Prussia, a comparatively huge kingdom, ruled since inception for many centuries by the Hohenzollerns (Kaiser Willy).
Their forerunners were the Teutonic Knights, which name speaks for itself.
“EXCLUSIVE: Donations, Including International Funding, to BlackLivesMatter.com Go Directly to the DNC – This Is Money Laundering

@ Adam Dalgliesh:
Germans never voted Hitler into office. The Nazi party was getting 30+% of the vote (the Reichstag seats were distributed by a formula), he was appointed Chancellor by the German President who was old, sick, and had signs of dementia, and who was pushed toward this decision by several people.
The rich industrialists thought that Hitler would be perfectly controllable by them and would remain their puppet.
As far as Hitler’s “personality cult”.
I think at this point no one can blame the Germans for Hitler, the Soviets for Stalin, the Chinese for Mao, etc. because it is human nature to believe in a human savior, especially in times of trouble (cf. Trump the Savior).
The Germans’ love of order has nothing to do with anything, rather they were used to blindly trusting and following their rulers and had a veritable cult (this is well documented) of their police and the military (sounds familiar?).
In addition, they did have 4 good years under Hitler before he started the wars which he promised not to initiate.
The only reason for their “rebirth” after the war was the Marshall Plan (help from the US).
As for the rest of it, I suggest you reread the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Riots and revolutions happen when governments push the people too far.
And have you ever heard of agents provocateurs?
They are commonly used to discredit peaceful protests and to scare the gullible among us.
This is all very similar to the madness that overcame Germans when they voted Hitler into office, then cheered as he murdered many of their most preductive citizens, and led to six million of them being killed(I am talking here about Germans who were killed, not the Holocaust). Their cities were devastated, their homes left in ruins. Over 12 millions of them became refugees and lost their homes forever. became refugees. Yet many of them were loyal to their insane leaders right up the to the time their country was conquered and occupied by foreign troops.
It can’t happen here? It is happening here. Even the same obsession with race. The same public humiliation of dissenters and people of the “wrong” race. The same persecution of dissenters. The same pressure to tow the ideological line. No, it’s not as bad as Hitler’s Germany–yet. But it is heading in that direction.
I am not as optimistic as Carlson that we will survive this time and in the future look back at it as a time of madness. The country may disintegrate completely and become a failed like Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, Venezuela. Race war may become a permanent fact of life, just as war rages inteminably in those countries and may never end. What a terrible end to a 244 year democratic-republican experiment.
Even Germany, although its people suffered fro their madness, never became a failed state. Their passion for order and unity prevented it. They were reborn eventually as more or less a democracy, and richer than ever.
We should be so lucky. Love of order is a passion Americans never had. Hostility to and fear 0f government has been in our blood at least since 1775. A belief that rebellion for a just cause is justified. But now a parody of this distrust of government is destroying us.
Excellent and totally the true
