T. Belman. I just received a report this evening that suggested that the Floyd George happening was also a set up by globalists to justify the riots. So read carefully reports that challange the narrative the MSM is running with.
By Andrea Widburg, AMERICAN THINKER
Many Americans understand that the riots aren’t righteous protests but are, instead, leftist activism aimed at destabilizing America and (the activists hope) destroying Trump’s chance at reelection. Still, people found shocking a video showing police in Buffalo pushing an old man to the ground where he lay with blood pouring from his ear. Don’t believe everything you see, though. The old man was a leftist activist looking for trouble and may have staged the whole thing.
If one views the video in a vacuum, it’s awful. A frail-looking old man standing alone against the Buffalo police is brutally pushed to the ground and left to lie there, bleeding:
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Video shows two police officers in Buffalo, New York, shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground. The sound of a crack is heard and blood trickles from the man’s head https://reut.rs/2Y9eLF0
<
Almost immediately after the video appeared, the police officers who pushed the man were charged with assault and suspended from the force. This tweet illustrates how effective the man’s fall was in advancing the anti-police narrative:
I’m not sure any single video since the murder of George Floyd gives us a more insightful glimpse into the minds of American police than this one.
Buffalo Police & friends are CHEERING for the 2 officers who brutally assaulted & then ignored the head injury of a 75 year old man.
When leftists control the narrative, though, assume that what you’re seeing is a lie. It took a little while for the truth to emerge, but we now know that Martin Gugino is a hard-left activist. In his Twitter feed, he says “F*** the police,” longs for Chicago, circa 1968, where the leftists violently rioted, supports Palestinian activism, and retweets theories that “undercover cops” are responsible for Minneapolis’s violent riots. Buffalo’s mayor, Byron Brown, said Gugino was an “agitator” whom the police had repeatedly asked to leave the area for trying to incite the crowd.
Footage has emerged showing Gugino hanging around with activists and boasting that he’s looking “for fun.” The shocked young man to whom he confided this said, “I think he’s looking to get punched in the face. That’s what it is.”
That young man was correct.
People who have been carefully examining footage of Gugino’s interactions with the police, as well as his fall, have noticed that there was nothing innocent about what he was doing. According to the Conservative Treehouse, Gugino was using a phone as a capture scanner, which would allow him to capture information from the police officers’ communication belts.
Others have pointed out the peculiarly graceful and staged way in which Gugino fell:
Who crosses their feet and slowly lays their phone on the ground like this if it’s not a set up?
Some also contend that the blood is fake too:
Tubes running out from under his mask used to release the fake blood. Totally staged.
Certainly, the waterfall of blood from his ear immediately upon falling is inconsistent with the type of blow he allegedly sustained as well as with how blood actually trickles out of a person’s ear by running down the skin. The double masks Gugino was wearing were also peculiar and the hard blow he allegedly sustained should have impaired his functioning, which did not seem to have happened:
You can clearly see a white mask and a blue mask on top
You can also see him talking on a cell phone and reports are he was joking with emt.
The Buffalo police force certainly believes that the two arrested officers were the victims of a set-up. Fifty-seven of them have resigned from the emergency response team.Leftist activism always has an element of theater. That can be amusing when climate change nutcases dress as broccoli. It’s less funny when a vicious old man frames the police to drive a hard left narrative aimed at bringing our country to anarchy and vigilantism.
@ Michael S:
Nature is also in an upheaval. What do you suppose these Japanese reindeer are protesting? https://www.facebook.com/japaninsides/photos/a.1786883354877574/2729794383919795/?type=3&theater
@ Michael S:
I got it, it was from 1938, I missed it.
@ Michael S:
“a war broke out that reached all the way to China”
Michael, could you, please, explain where that text came from?
It doesn’t seem to relate to the rest of your comment.
Thanks.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
“Depends on who you read” You don’t have to read much to figure out that there is a MINIMUM (because the gov’t stats are designed to underestimate the numbers of unemployed) 40 million unemployed.
Small businesses employ 50% of the workforce and most of the small businesses will go (or have already gone) bankrupt.
Trillions of $$ are being issued which will eventually cause the dollar to devalue.
The gov’t inflation calculation is set up to underestimate it greatly.
The US reputation took a huge hit and the vassals may start to rebel (see German behavior), and refuse the $ as world currency, etc., I don’t want to go through the rest of it.
This is just the stuff that one can see plainly without reading any of the “expert” opinions.
If the Great Depression was as wonderful as you state, why the US lost 10 million people between 1930 and 1940 (the gov’t estimate of the drop in births was 1.5 million, and, let’s suppose, a couple of million people left the country)?
I’ll tell you why – they plain starved to death or died early for other reasons – read the contemporary “fiction” (which wasn’t). The unemployment rate among blacks reached 60%.
The rest of what you are describing are myths of the kind “people are healthier during depressions, etc.”
The depression lingered and actually got worse until it was ended by the “Good War” (WWII) which lucky Americans managed to sit out at home (largely) and to hugely benefit from.
If anyone is crazy enough to hope for another Good War to solve the current problem – I hope they’ll end up where the dangerously insane should.
@ Bear Klein:
Hi, Bear
I’m sorry I got you and Sebastien switched. When I type in the little window provided here, the post I’m replying to scrolls up out of sight.
Concerning aliyah, I think I was painting a pretty bleak picture of the situation in the US. We are living in a crazy situation, where ALL the main media outlets (often including Breitbart and Fox) report NOTHING but the worst news about the US, and often exceed that with lies and fantasy. We were gone on vacation for ONE DAY, enjoying nature and the company of very sane, well-behaved people, to be greeted by news that our largest cities were getting rid of their police forces — total insanity. It wasn’t until this morning, that I scrolled down on therealdonaldtrump’s twitter page, to uncover a video from five days ago that had good news; and it was VERY, VERY good news about the economic recovery. The commentaries I read on China were no better; so I spent a good deal of time wondering and praying about the possibility of either our children or us, and possibly both, having to decide in the near future about leaving the country.
God has heard our many cries about this country; and the May economic figures seem nothing less than a miracle. Even President Trump was surprized by them. At the same time, there is a very real conspiracy underfoot, and has been one for the past four years, to overthrow the governement elected by the American people. Key figures seem to be involved: the former FBI and NSA leadership, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George Romney and the whole fancy cufflink crowd. They have been destroying homes and businesses, and killing people, in a serious effort to ensure that there will be no more US elections. We have been incredibly blessed, having a leader who genuinely cares about people and at the same time has the wisdom, intelligence and resillience to lead them; but this will not go on forever. It could all end in four years, or it could end in a few months; and after that, it could be a living hell in America.
On 10 November, 1938, the latest economic figures in Germany were also great:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Bruttosozialprodukt_im_dt._Reich_1925-1939.svg/350px-Bruttosozialprodukt_im_dt._Reich_1925-1939.svg.png
when police stood by while demonstrators smashed storefronts and burned houses of worship. Less than a year later, a war broke out that reached all the way to China; and there were confused, frantic scenes in the country where my grandchildren now live, of foreign families being separated from their children as the bombs fell.
On our one-day vacation, we saw a goldfinches, and oystercatcher, two bald eagles, a couple of whales, several pelicans in flight, carpets of flowers in full broom above tidal pools teeming with life, a surfer in the waves and a deer right near our motel room; plus a fabulous meal of fresh-caught halibut. God is good.
Shalom shalom 🙂

@ Reader:
Depends on who you read. There are those who say we are headed into a recession and other reports that say the economy is rebounding amazingly. The anti-Trump forces want the economy to fail, of course. Moreover, recessions don’t affect everyone the same way. Even during the Great Depression, 75 percent of the workforce was employed, and unlike later recessions, if you got a job, it was enough to pay for your own apartment and expenses and support a family with a quarter of your income.
@ Michael S:
Bear mentioned his parents, not me. Otherwise, I liked what you said, though as it happens, my father was a Shoah survivor and resistance fighter who lost all of his parents and grandparents and who came to America in 1946 with his only surviving blood relative in Hungary, who survived Auschwitz, and her husband (for the rest of their lives) who, like my father, escaped from a forced labor camp for Jews and joined the Jewish resistance, protecting their fellow Jews.
@ Michael S:
Hi, Michael, I didn’t mention my parents. Bear did. I think you meant that part of it for him. Apropos of nothing, I am Jewish, though I had a completely secular upbrining, and New Age (yoga, meditation, etc.) as a teenager, my mother is American of LItvak descent and my father was a Holocaust survivor and Jewish resistance fighter from Hungary who lost his parents, grandparents, all of his relatives in Hungary except for his female first cousin who survived Auschwitz. He escaped from a labor camp, as did his her husband of more than 50 years, who she married right after the liberation. He escaped from labor camps 3 times and worked as Raoul Wallenberg’s switchboard operator. Apropos of nothing. Anyway, I liked what you said, though the condolences should be directed to Bear.
@ Michael S:
“Reader is wrong about most things” Why don’t we check this statement a couple of months from now, you may have to admit that I was right about most things.
At least I try in my posts to avoid emotional reactions based on limited or wrong information or on “divide and conquer” manipulation by the powers that be.
I appreciate it that you agree with me about aliyah.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Hi, Sebastien
I’m sorry to hear about your parents. I don’t know what they actually thought. I doubt if they really believed the Americans would save them. In my case, I’m twelve years older than you, and not in very good shape. That is why I haven’t kicked much at the COVID restrictions: I’m in a very high risk category. You might say I’m hoping for the “Americans” (in the person of Donald J. Trump) to save me; and I certainly would not complain if he and the Republicans beat the crap out of the Dems and Commies in November.
We have an interesting situation. On the one hand, my daughter and grandchildren live in China, which has its own Hitler rising to power. On the other hand, the situation in the US is actually worse than it is in China: We face the prospect of not a dictatorship, but complete anarchy and vigilantism. None of us has the right to do aliyah, because we aren’t Jewish. We could all move to other countries; but for my wife and I, the bottom line is that our remaining lifetimes are short; and we are “lights unto the nations”, as the scriptures say. China needs light, and the US needs light; and God has seen fit to put us here, so here we stay.
I also lost family to the Nazis, but they were more distant relatives.
Reader is wrong about most things, but he is right about aliyah. Maybe he will move himself, if he hasn’t already. For the rest of us, it’s not an easy choice.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
The way things are going the Diaspora Jews might lose the ability to support Israel because they are going to become impoverished with the rest of the Americans.
Also, once the people realize what was done to them (the economy is not going to recover any time soon and there are still 40 million (minimum) unemployed, and there will be food shortages), they will become more violent and will start looking for a scapegoat.
In the US there are ~150 million people who legally own ~400 million guns.
Some of those might be turned against the usual scapegoats.
Again, I really hope I am wrong but, as they say, hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
BINGO…!! The then public wanted distracting glitter and high life in their movies. This is a WELL KNOWN fact, (much written about). except to Reader…
@ Reader:
And amongst those real experts -in finding experts-is…….READER…..!!! Take a bow…
@ Sebastien Zorn:
I once had a pal named Mike Murphy, and “divvil a bar he could ivver pass”
Jokes aside, I agree with your post in it’s entirety.
@ Reader:
This seems to me an especially stupid post-amongst others you’ve penned. Have you ever heard of that drastic events require equally drastic contrary actions. Law and Order in a modern society MUST prevail -or else we descend into anarchy , as Adam so aptly pointed out in his Hobbesian quote.
Only you can see something Nazi-like in it.
READ the article and polish your spectacles to see the actual evidence of a “set-up”…
I think I saw the remaining pages of that Whitehead book hanging in a public toilet,doing duty in place of a better item..
@ Reader:
I agree with you about Europe but I’m not in Europe. I’m in the island of Manhattan, where I was born and have lived all my life. Most of the time, I feel comparatively safe, though that hasn’t always been true. In any case, America, so far, has been a special case. In any case, I think what’s important is for diaspora Jews to support and defend Israel and our Jewish brothers and sisters there. Going there is a lifestyle choice. Israel doesn’t need us and I’m not religious, at all.
@ Reader:
At Age 60? Sure. Just curious, how old are you? Oh, and of course, Ori Ansbacher and the Fogel family to name two of many, were perfectly safe in an Israel that tolerates large numbers of Jihadists and even lets them sit in the Knesset and run the Temple Mount. Did you hear that Ganz just reversed Bennet’s order to PA banks not to transfer funds to terrorists and their families? I feel real comfortable with the Arab list.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
How about just giving up on “fighting antisemitism” and making aliyah?
It hurts to see all this money wasted on buildings, rents, security guards, etc. when they could be saved for a common aliyah fund.
The Diaspora is done and finished.
It’s the same thing as in Europe in the late 1920s – are we waiting for the final proof again?
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Every adult Jew should be armed and know how to use a firearm.
Jews should also seriously think about making aliyah.
I remember my mother telling me when she was fleeing Austria during the Holocaust with her parents help. She asked why they were not going and her parents said the Americans will save them. Her parents were murdered by the Nazi’s in a concentration camp.
Her other sister Frances, escaped from Auschwitz with her first husband, eventually after years making it to the USA.
The eldest of the three sister’s Trudy hid in the attic of house for the duration of the war in the house of a Christian family. She lived out her life in Austria.
Israel is not perfect or easy to adapt to but it is the home of the Jews. The future of the Jews lies in Israel and not in Brooklyn, LA, Toronto or London.
@ Reader:
Actually, Hollywood tried films with the social justice narrative and they bombed. Audiences wanted to be distracted. Only people living in comfort needed to be reminded of the suffering around them.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
“My wife is on a diet” What a great punchline! Except it’s not very funny. 1930-1933 were the worst years of the Great Depression when millions of Americans were literally starving to death.
Either the Cantors had way too much food to eat or Eddie Cantor employed a euphemism?

@ Sebastien Zorn:
“believe this paranoid nonsense” Why not? It’s no worse than yours of how the poor, defenseless, free, and peaceful United States is surrounded by vicious enemies just waiting to pounce, and how we better attack them first and bomb them into true democracy before they attack us.
From the looks of it, Whitehead’s ”paranoid nonsense” is closer to the truth.
“I didn’t read it but I hate it” is not a review.
The reason I mentioned that he is a constitutional attorney is to show that he should know what he is talking about unlike various celebrities, armchair warriors, and former housewives turned experts in foreign and domestic policy who don’t think twice about writing books on the subjects.
@ Reader:
“What’s the greatest problem throughout the land, the only one that needs a helping hand, it’s not Prohibition, it’s not Farm Relief I find, it’s something more important on everybody’s mind. My wife is on a diet…” – Eddie Cantor to a cop who pulled him over without ID. 1930. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K557zrvaywc&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1-u0ODqGA3eQGpnQI5RFoSljNurVb_-y1wNaqmLNz6PBple7NngvH8daQ
Every Jewish community needs armed self-defense groups to defend the community in the event of elected officials not permitting police to do their job, i.e., pogroms, as we have seen. Like this:

@ Reader:
“Police forces across the United States have been transformed into extensions of the military. Our towns and cities have become battlefields, and we the American people are now the enemy combatants to be spied on, tracked, frisked, and searched. For those who resist, the consequences can be a one-way trip to jail, or even death.”
from Amazon blurb for the book you recommended. Do you really believe this paranoid nonsense? I live here, too, you know. Should it be necessary to read a book to believe this if it weren’t sci-fi fantasy? I’m very impressed that’s he’s a constitutional lawyer, however. Obama was a constitutional lawyer. William Kunstler was a constitutional lawyer.
Non-constitutional lawyers impress me too, like the two lawyers, one corporate, who were arrested for passing out molotov cocktails and the former Obama security official who bailed them out. Lenin was a lawyer, Castro was a lawyer. The Southern Poverty Law Center is composed of lawyers. the ACLU.
All, very impressive, to be sure.

@ Adam Dalgliesh:
You know, law and order is a good thing but not when it turns into Nazi-style Ordnung which is what you seem so passionately to advocate (“in the land of the free and the home of the brave”) .
Police militarization and brutality in the US is NOT a myth and it cannot be reduced to merely a racial issue. There are plenty of whites who suffer from it, except that when this happens, there are no protests (why?) AND there are also black cops who have been accused of brutality and punished for it.
I highly recommend you read a book by James W. Whitehead (he is a constitutional attorney) “Battlefield America” which may clear your mind somewhat (and help to calm you down).
The most important thing for everyone is to quit being a victim of the powers-that-be “divide and conquer” game but, I guess, it is almost impossible, that’s why they’ve been using it so successfully for centuries.
@ Sebastien Zorn: The powerful part of apelbaum’s article about the race riots is not his own words, but rather his quotation of a famous statement by the 17th century English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, on the effect of a general breakdown of law and order: ““Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre, where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them withall. In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short.” Leviathan, Chapter XIII – The Cost of War” I am afraid that this Hobbesian “state of war of all against all” could happen to the United States as a result of this hostility to the police supported by by senior politicians, and the use of rioting, arson and looting as a political tactic by thugs acting in collusion with these politicians. That would mean the end of America as a functioning society and nation-state, as Hobbes predicted nearly four hundred years ago.
@ Adam Dalgliesh:
Makes sense to me just from what you said. In fact, it’s the only explanation that makes any sense of this madness. They want to turn America into Western Europe, or I should say, Eurabia.
Ted, could you please post for Israpundit readers the brilliant article by Yaacov Apelbaum, “The Gunfight at the OK Corral 2020,” on apelbaum.wordpress.com? Apelbaum explains better and more clearly what the consequences are of the present collapse of law and order in this country, and what the political goals of the perpetrators of the riots are, than anyone else I have read. He believes that the perpetrators seek to create Mogadishu-like leftist-Islamist mini-states where American law does not reach. They hope to eventually expand these enclaves to include all of America, subject either to sharia law or to the absolute, law-free rule of leftist-Islamist dictators. Far-fetched though this analysis may seem, he make a powerful case for it.
