Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Jennifer Lawrence, who came out in 2015 and said that if Trump became President it would be the “end of the world” has finally come out and said the politically polarized country needs to come together because “we can’t continue this divide and anger.”
“There needs to be a bridge,” she told in an interview with Vogue Magazine. “There are issues affecting us as human beings, not as liberals and not as Republicans. We have to protect the foundation of this country, and acceptance.”
The violent events of the White Supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia which illustrated men brandishing torches to Nazi insignia and camouflage-clad heavily-armed men who looked like soldiers ready for the battlefield. The men appearing to be soldiers were members of armed militia organizations, who say they went to Charlottesville to provide order at the protest. The hatred building up on both sides is escalating out of control. The White Supremacist who drove a car into a crowd is just an example of this hatred is rising. The more each side responds to the other only ensures that the violence will continue to escalate. It is by no means just the alt-right who has form militias. They left has also formed armed militias and they are anti-rich and are Marxists seeking to as always confiscate the wealth (see Redneck Revolt).

The stupid rhetoric has got to stop. I have been warning our model is forecasting tremendous civil unrest fostered by the economic downturn. The New York demonstrators keep accusing Trump of Fascism and racism outside Trump Tower demanding all business leaders resign from working at all with the White House as if this will do something good for the country or New York. They are continuing to attribute the action of White Supremacists to Trump further dividing the nation. They clearly do not even remotely understand what Fascism actually is and this ban on Muslims from six countries is not racism since Muslim is a religion not a race. Trump has not argued against any race in this country and Mexicans are not a separate race either. It does not matter. You cannot engage in any reasonable discourse. CNN, which is becoming the greatest threat to civilization spreading discontent internationally, will never recant or show an honest debate of the entire subject.
At Armstrong Economics were have all races on our staff and we have Muslim employees that travel here to the States with no problem since they are not from the six countries on the terrorist list. So it is difficult to comprehend what exactly it is that they are so angry about if it is not plainly that Hillary lost. The conflicting views and rhetoric of groups is tearing the country apart. It is their demand that everyone resign from Trump’s advisory groups that only enrage the opposition. Such demands are outrageous and they seem to use any issue to try to just suspend government until the next Presidential election come 2020. Any issue is being used against Trump and that is just enraging more people further dividing the nation. Jennifer Lawrence is at least addressing the middle ground but nobody seems to listen. Trust me, then you will see serious violence in the streets during 2020. I would not go near any city hosting the Democrats or Republicans in 2020.
Fascism is an authoritarian nationalism, that is characterized by dictatorial power, forced suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce. I do not understand how anyone can claim Trump is a fascist. CNN, of course, keeps trying so desperately to create civil unrest. They have come out and said with a headline “Alt-right? Don’t be afraid to call them fascists.” We simply have to stop these stupid labels. That is the first think we have to do to try to restore some civility.
In London, we have the Telegraph coming out really against CNN with the headline: “Fascism is not Conservatism, and conservatives must make that clear.” I really question what is going on at CNN. It is not the reliable news source, it is becoming a hateful and vindictive network that is trying to create civil unrest. If Trump were truly a Fascist, he should send in troops and shut down CNN. That would be a good fascist move.
Let’s make no mistake here. The White Supremacist rally is taking place now because the standard of living has been diminishing with rising tax level that reduce the disposable net income of people. That is the root cause of why such rallies take place now in opposition to the leftist rallies that erupted when Trump was elected. This is all building to a place we do not want to think about. The White Supremacist movement in the South is also a long-standing resentment of blaming the blacks for their loss in the Civil War. Slave labor in the United States was first composed of whites – not blacks. They were criminals sold to plantation owners as indentured servants from British courts. The British legal system was so corrupt anyone for the slightest offense even stealing an apple you were arrested and sold into Indentured servitude, all to profit the government. As Christopher Hibbert reported in his book, Roots of Evil (1963), the sentence imposed by the judge read:
“Because you have committed this offence, the sentence of the court is that you shall no longer be burdened with the support of your wife and family. You shall be immediately removed from a very bad climate and a country overburdened with people to one of the finest regions of the earth where demand for human labour is every hour increasing and where it is highly probable you may ultimately regain your character and improve your future.” (Roots of Evil, p145)
When the Revolution broke out, that supply of labor ended. It was being supplement by blacks being serviced by the Dutch from Africa. The Civil War did not begin as a racist issue, to those in the South it was a blow to them economically removing their workforce. The hatred arose post-Civil War as many blamed the blacks for the reason there was a war when the issue was really human rights regardless of their color. It was the religious right who rose up on the North against the Southern Democrats at that time. The issue split the Northern politics resulting in Abraham Lincoln becoming the first Republican President. People will often blame others for their loss rather than accept responsibility themselves. This is why the racism took hold in America in contrast to Europe.
Jennifer Lawrence was against Trump, but she sees that this anger is festering. This is what concerns me that as the economy gets worse and governments keep raising taxes exploiting people reducing their standard of living, tensions will rise. This is manifesting in White Supremacists who have not risen up in mass since the 1960s. From the 1950 Maple Shade Township incident where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was confronted by a bartender who refused to serve him and his friends, it will be 72 years when we reach 2022. This trend will continue to rise and it is being driven by the deteriorating economic landscape under the surface.

IF we’re going to build a bridge and work on the divide, promoting truth would help.

The bulb on top of Jennifer’s head finally lit up, but she was part of the reason for this negativity on Trump.
Better late than never.
Why do people keep assuming that the kid intentionally mowed down people in an act of hate? The videos show he’s going down a 1-way street and encounters a mob/riot who arbitrarily start attacking his car. As my wife asked when she saw the videos, what if it was us with our kids driving down that street? What would you do if it was you and your family? Regardless, participating in a riot milling about in a public street does not abrigate your responsibility as a sentient being to watch out for cars while you’re walking. It sucks that woman died, but let’s give this kid an honest trial before convicting him.
I imagine that will end up being determined by a jury.
And looking at the video I’ve seen, I imagine the jury will find him guilty unless he can come up with some really different to produce in his defense. There is no doubt he was the one driving the car as it plowed into people in a pedestrian mall area.
At least if he doesn’t plead guilty to it to avoid a trial.
There will be no frickin bridge. We have yet another incident where paid agitators perpetrated violence on a group of protestors, and the media once again frames it in such a way as to completely ignore the paid agitators. And half the country immediately regurgitates the narrative without one scintilla of thought applied. I have no interest in trying to reason with trash who so blatantly parrot the controlled media propaganda. I never saw it so clearly as I see it now. Even 10-15 years ago with Bush and his wars and all his neocon apologists, it wasnt as blatant as it is now.
Another version of events:
Right from the start, the police, limiting access to the park and funneling the Unite the Right (UTR) men in via a few bottlenecks, which escalated tensions and subjected them to Antifa attack even before they got into the park grounds. Then, once the UTR men were assembled and anticipating the event’s kickoff at noon, the Mayor and the Governor (Terry McAuliffe), a well-known associate of the Clinton Crime Family sprang their shitty little trap. Just 24 hours before, the City had attempted to revoke the UTR’s legal permit on a flimsly pretext. Unite The Right immediately went to court, and a federal judge upheld their right to assemble the next day. Just after noon, as the speakers were attempting to take the stage, and the UTR crowd had been carefully penned in by riot police who had suddenly materialized, the police suddenly announced that the fully-permitted and legally-sanctioned assembly was an “unlawful assembly”, and proceeded to herd the UTR men out through one narrow park exit, forcing them past a guantlet of Antifa agitators. The police stood back and watched it all happen, doing virtually nothing to manage the unruly mob of leftist lunatics.
Seeing all the reaction taken by facebook, twitter, cloudflare, etc etc makes me think more and more that Charlotesville was a setup from the very beginning; a cause in need of a catalyst. Under what better guise might you silence “right wing” speech and thought?
