MY CORNER by Boyd Cathey
The Real Revolutionaries That Seek Control and Power
I
was appalled, but not really surprised by the coverage the local media (not to
mention the national press) has given the results of the grand jury report
concerning the death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. Here in central
North Carolina the largest television station, WRAL, continuing its slide into
outright propagandizing and turning every police action into an act of “police
brutality” or “white racism,” flagrantly misconstrued both the events of Taylor’s
death as well as the statements of Kentucky’s black Republican Attorney General
Daniel Cameron announcing
the decision regarding the Louisville officers involved in the shooting.
Only one of the officers was indicted, and that for reckless endangerment, not
for murder. It was the correct decision under Kentucky law.
Additionally,
despite the widely reported news that the officers had forcibly entered the
apartment where Taylor resided under the state’s no-knock entry law, we have
learned since that the three officers did knock and announced themselves, just
before shots came from within the apartment. Here is how former Federal
attorney Andrew
McCarthy describes it:
…no charges
were brought against Sergeant Jon Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove, whose
shots in the dark chaos struck Ms. Taylor only after the officers were fired upon by her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker
— who himself may have been justified, in the confusion, in shooting at what he
says he believed was an intruder. The cops were doing their job in executing a
lawful search warrant at a location that was quite justifiably tied to a
notorious criminal — Ms. Taylor’s former boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover.
This
lawful and correct finding has been completely insufficient to satisfy the
street mobs and rioters, or the pliant Democratic political leaders, who seem
to believe their future success is dependent on the success of mob violence and
the abject fear that it and the charges of racism engender among our political
class. Even among supposedly “conservative” Republicans there has been a steady
retreat to the “tall grass,” a giving in to the hysterical frenzy of the Black
Lives Matter terrorists and their media protectors….The very night that Tucker
Carlson on his 8 p.m. program on Fox News announced that the no-knock provision
was not employed in the Taylor case, that
the officers did knock and announce their presence, just an hour earlier, again
on Fox, Martha MacCallum strongly implied that it was used…just like the continuing template on CNN, MSNBC, and the other
major networks.
Like
all so-called “moderates” or compromisers in violent revolutions, the
temporizers usually end up devoured by the very radicals and radicalism they attempt
to defend or justify. Only recall what happened to the “moderate” Girondistes
during the height of the French Revolution (who opposed the ultimate terror of
a Citizen Robespierre) or Alexander Kerensky and his Socialist Revolutionary government
in Russia (done in by the Bolsheviks during the October 1917 Revolution).
Both advocated and pushed for understanding and for compromise of one sort or
another; both were swallowed up by the very same forces with which they
attempted to deal and whose demands they tried so assiduously to satisfy.
But
beyond the compromisers who would attempt to satisfy some, if not most of the revolutionary
demands, there are those like the Wall Street capitalists who helped finance
the Bolshevik Revolution, who see gain, profit and an increase in their power
in such times of severe turmoil and disorder. It is oligarchs in Silicon
Valley, Hollywood, and on Wall Street, and Democratic Party honchos who
bankroll the revolutionaries in the streets.
In
2020 the moneyed elites and billionaires in their gated mansions and luxury
apartments, in upper class neighborhoods on the East and West coasts, hope that
they can control and use the current revolutionary violence to advance their
power and control over what is left of the United States. As Tucker Carlson has
pointed out and documented time and time again on his nightly television
program, and in detailed form in his book, Ship
of Fools, the aim is a kind of globalism where those elites reign supreme
without the restraints or opposition of such undesirables as those who live in
Phillip Roth’s infamous “fly-over country” between New York and San Francisco
(or Beverly Hills), those infamous “deplorables” who “cling to their guns and
their Bibles” and believe in family and traditional morality.
Not
just George Soros, but the gluttonous wealthy big wigs at Facebook, Twitter,
and the hedge fund managers and international corporation giants, and those who
depend on the generous largesse of the government, earnestly hope that the
street revolution will assist them as they amass their increasing power and
authority. They hope that it will impel citizens to select Joe Biden because,
so goes the thinking, if he should be elected, then the violence will simmer
down or subside. Certain “justified” demands (e.g., radical police reform, much
more affirmative action, more “equality”) will be met...and the advance into a
globalist, controlled dystopia will continue, as if the advent of the Trump
presidency were simply a brief (and highly disagreeable) interregnum.
But controlling the
revolutionaries, like in upheavals past, may be more challenging than our
elites imagine or hope. For revolutions have a way of spinning out of control,
of devouring their supporters and their sponsors. Thus, Joe Biden’s belated and
somewhat half-hearted condemnation of the violence to his more radical
supporters: “don’t get out of hand!” He did so only weeks after the Democratic
National Convention said nothing but rather implicitly endorsed the raucous
street terror, and its media minions continued to call it “mostly peaceful”
(even with visual backdrops in the same reporting of private small business set
to roaring flame by those same “peaceful demonstrators”).
My mentor, the late conservative author Russell Kirk, once wrote that all societies desire equity, but before that may happen there must be order…order, socially, is primordial and comes before all else, before liberty and freedom, before justice. Like Spain in 1936, Chile in 1973, and Austria in 1933, society abhors disorder and violence. Add to this cauldron the very real possibility that the outcome of the November election will not be known for weeks after election day—and until after millions of mailed-in votes are counted (or miraculously “found”). And what we have is a recipe for sustained violence, endless legal action, even potential internecine civil war.
I hard several lady blacks on Fox say liberal talking points: one named Harris said, “Robert E Lee was a traitor” which is not true, it was lincoln who was a traitor according to the Consttution. ANd some black lady on Sunday said” Say her name” referring to the drug dealer girl friend who was shot. Even Tucker has said that the fate of Confederate statues should be discussed, and maybe they should come down.
