“Armenian Jet Allegedly Shot Down By Turkey As Conflict Escalates In The Caucasus”
https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/29/armenian-jet-allegedly-shot-down-turkey/
FYI says
An Armenian {Soviet era designed} Su-25 shot down by a Turkish {American designed} F-16.
The Russians have a military base too in Armenia.It would not surprise me if Erdolf wants to engineer a ‘holy’ war especially as Armenia is a Christian nation.

And of course the Muslim Turks wiped out most of the Christian Armenians a hundred years ago.

Robert Spencer Video: Reclaiming American History From the Left
……………..
Excellent stuff!
Walter Sieruk says
Abraham Lincoln had is right when he wrote “History isn’t history unless it’s truth.”
In terrible contrast Americas enemies within ,namely the hooligans of Antifa and BLM, couldn’t care less about historical truth, or for that matter the reality of things during currents times.
Therefore the wisdom written by Thomas Jefferson may well apply to lawless ruffians of those two violent dangerous and deadly Marxists organizations, with their Red/Green alliance , just mentioned .For Mr. Jefferson exponded that “An enemy generally says and believes as he wishes.’
Walter Sieruk says
Many of the Founding Fathers of the United states of America did take great care to take down in writing,the events ideas and values of the times in which they lived.
As Thomas Jefferson had written “It is the duty of every good citizen to use all the opportunities which occur to him, for preserving documents to the history of our country.”
Moreover , George Washington,, wrote “Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.”

Good posts, Walter.
David Grisez says
One of the things that I have noticed is that there are two types of history. One type is the actual, real, true, factual history. The other type of history is a false, phony, rewritten history that is presented as if it were true history. It is obvious in the United States that the Democrat Party and the Main Stream News Media is pushing for a very socialist, marxist, communist type government for the United States.
Walter Sieruk says
The value of the knowledge of history had been well explained by none other than the ancient Roman philosopher and statesman ,Cicero who had written “To be ignorant of what occured before you were born is to remain remain always a child.”

BLM are looking for reparations.Well,then they should go to Africa and ask the Africans for money since after all,it was African Chieftains that sold their fellow Africans into slavery.
The supply of African slaves depended on…Africans prepared to capture fellow Africans and sell them.
This extremely awkward fact doesn’t suit the Leftist History Narrative where everything is the fault of Whitey.
BLM should also ask the muslims for money ,as islam has been involved in slavery{and still is today}.
I’m sure the muslims would just love to pay reparations for THEIR key role in the African slave trade.
Indeed,didn’t muhammed{the holiest man that ever lived} himself own,buy and sell black African Slaves?
“And he{i.e muhammed} sold him{i.e a non African slave} for TWO OF THE BLACKS”
Sahih Muslim 3901
FYI says
Awkward historical realities that might upset Leftists.
Please feel free to research..
1]Anthony Johnson d 1670 ‘one of the first black Africans to legally own a slave in America”
The first black slave owner in America was ..an African.
2]Some Native Americans owned slaves.It was normal to do so.
3]Black slave owners in America:Nat Butler,Justus Angel and Mistress L Horry,Jacob Gasken,Widow C Richards,The Pendarvis family{south Carolina},Marie Therese Metoyer,Antoine Dubuclet{‘the wealthiest black slave owner in Louisiana’},William Ellison{who kept a windowless building where misbehaving chained slaves were punished}
This doesn’t fit the Leftist BLM-antifa narrative.While you are toppling all those statues.. do consider all those black slave owners of black people.

Everything you said here is true, Spencer. I think a big instigator for all the white shaming and hate for America is BLM. I can’t see them as a legitimate black movement with any good goals in mind. Their primary tactic is to distort every alleged racial incident out of its context, exaggerate the alleged injustice, and then react with riots and white shaming. In virtually every case there are facts and circumstances that shed much doubt about the legitimacy of their claims, but that has never stopped them from exploiting the worst logic to bolster their case. In practically every case I’ve heard of the black “victim” bears a great deal of responsibility for the incident; they typically are armed, or assaulting a police officer, or are trying to escape a felony warrant. In my mind this creates a situation that is far less credible in substantiating race based crime or murder. And of course BLM know this, so to make up for this deficiency they distort the present by reviving the past, thereby creating the illusion of never-ending racial injustice in America. This remark by Ilhan Omar is an example,
“Our task as organizers is not only to all out the specific incidences of racism. It is to recognize that our history is built on the oppression of black bodies.” Ilhan Omar
And we’ve been hearing a lot of remarks like that lately. Every time some black criminal running from the cops with a gun gets shot we get reminded of the sins of our ancestors. I’m as concerned as anyone about racial injustice, I don’t want to see anyone killed or violated for their racial identity. But this drumming up of the past to instill shame and incite hate against white America is not the way to go. The BLM movement is founded primarily on weak claims and a faulty association with America’s past at a time when we were a different nation with a different mentality. Today is not a time of great racial injustice, blacks enjoy the same opportunities for success and respect as much as any white. And I firmly believe that it’s wrong for government officials like Omar to stir racial hatred for their own social or political gain. People like her, more than anyone, are instigators of race hate. And Black Lives Matter is no better, not in my opinion.
Anyway, thanks for loving our country, Spencer. You are a true patriot and great asset to our nation, and the work you do is a great service to humanity. I really mean that. I suppose now you want a donation, lol.

“In practically every case I’ve heard of the black “victim” bears a great deal of responsibility for the incident; they typically are armed, or assaulting a police officer, or are trying to escape a felony warrant.”
Nearly universally true.
The big two are
1. Not following the police officer’s instructions
2. Resisting arrest.
This behavior leads to escalation – totally avoidable if the person being arrested complies with all instructions…

So true. The screams of racism over these incidents are typically so huge that I think the worst about the police in that instance. I think, “My gosh! what injustice have the police done now?!” But then I see the video, for example, and I get a whole new view of things. It often concerns a criminal(s) armed with a knife or gun in a threatening posture toward police or others. They don’t drop the weapon, so they’re out of control and an imminent danger to society (cuz who knows who they might hurt, right?). So naturally the police do the good and right thing and kill him or her to protect themselves and us, and then suddenly they’re racists doing a Lynching (Remember, that’s how the Floyd death was described by some). Just because the cop happens to be white it’s assumed he is racially motivated to kill in the line of duty. In virtually every case I know of that’s a lie, there is no evidence for racial hate to murder, just a fearful cop trying to do a dangerous and difficult job while keeping us safe.
I’m all for watchdog groups that keep an eye on the police, because power can corrupt. But BLM is doing more harm than good with their lies and hyperbolic distortions of the truth. They’re a sham group and I expect it to crumble to near zero soon. Public opinion of them is dwindling and for good reason: they are in effect instigators of race hate with no good argument to back their claims, hardly ever.
Thanks:)

Good post, Agostino.

Many of these BLM folk are white lefty liberal females which is interesting:it seems they are the very ones that have that “White Privilege” thing Lefties go on about.
After all,these White Ignorant Lefty Liberal Yobs{the Willys} are fortunate enough to be speaking on behalf of black people {without actually representing real concerns of black people}:that is some privilege.
It was good to see Black Trump Supporters confront the {WHITE} BLM lefties in Cleveland…who ran away.
