On May 25th, 2019, Black Lives Matter celebrates one year since the start of the George Floyd Riots in which a former white police officer was acquitted of the murder of a black teen in one of the most violent riots in American history.
00:02:52.860It says Black Lives Matter risks going bankrupt.
00:02:55.980They ran an $8.5 million deficit last year.
00:03:00.360The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation saw the value of investment accounts fall by about $10 million, according to a copy of their tax return.
00:03:09.420This loss of over $961,000, nearly a million dollars.
00:03:18.020Now, keep in mind, this was the foundation set up by Black Lives Matter in the wake of the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
00:03:29.700It's not the only organization, but it is the most well-known one.
00:03:33.880Donations, we know, of course, spiked three years ago today with the start of the George Floyd riots.
00:03:39.240Remember, you know, the George Floyd riots that we're told never happened.
00:03:42.720We're told that they were mostly peaceful protests, and it was just an outpouring of love, an outpouring of care.
00:03:50.820In Seattle, for example, in Chaz, where I visited, they had what Mayor Jenny Durkan called the summer of love.
00:03:56.960It only led to several mass shootings.
00:03:59.480I think three mass shootings, the murders that took place there.
00:04:02.240But, you know, of all the dozens and dozens of people that were killed in the George Floyd riots, the most destructive riots in American history, we do also have to look at the effect that the murder rate has had.
00:04:18.520And that's why we're calling today the murderversary of Black Lives Matter.
00:04:22.800According to the Washington Examiner, the rate of Black homicide victims has returned to 1990s levels.
00:04:30.900The gun murder rate of Black victims has risen back to 1990s levels.
00:04:34.620The surge in homicides hit Black communities hardest with data showing that there were around 55 Black men killed by firearms per 100,000, the highest rate since the mid-90s.
00:04:45.000Before 2020, that number was about 35 per 100,000.
00:04:50.700The crime surge has been a massive concern in Black communities, with 81% of registered Black voters saying crime was very important to their vote in the midterms.
00:05:00.840The problem with this, of course, is that when you break it out, the white homicide rate is still very low.
00:05:08.340The Hispanic murder rate, homicide rate, it's rising, but it's still very, very low.
00:05:13.160But the Black homicide rate all the way back up to those 1990 levels that we've seen before.
00:05:19.720And the Wall Street Journal has reported this.
00:05:21.900Other sources have reported this out there.
00:05:23.960And so the question for all of it, JAMA, the JAMA network has a piece up on it.
00:05:28.160And so the piece for all of us here, this is, of course, the fatality rate that we're seeing.
00:05:32.600The question for us is, why hasn't Black Lives Matter done anything about this racial reckoning?
00:05:39.380Why are they going bankrupt when it seems as though the reason for their existence, the very reason that they exist at all, is actually increasing?
00:05:50.980And strangely enough, has increased over the course of time that Black Lives Matter has existed.
00:05:59.680Let's go to the geniuses at the New York Times.
00:06:03.460So we've got a piece on the New York Times by Thomas Edsel, a weekly columnist from Washington, D.C., who writes opinion columns on politics, demographics, and inequality.
00:06:15.380And he wrote, America has become both more and less dangerous since Black Lives Matter.
00:06:22.420What in God's name could that possibly mean?
00:06:25.200Well, it shows that the protests that have been held, the effect on, quote, police lethal use of force has gone down.
00:07:05.340So it's going through this this paper by Travis Campbell, an economics professor at the Southern Oregon University.
00:07:14.080Black Lives Matter effect on police lethal use of violence.
00:07:17.140Campbell noted in his paper, however, these gains came with some cost.
00:07:20.160His total reported homicides increased by 12 percent over the five years following the BLM protests, which is consistent with rising crime.
00:07:30.020That increase amounted to over three thousand homicides.
00:07:36.180So two hundred fewer lethal police shootings that he can see, but thousands more additional civilian homicides, raising questions about, quote, the social welfare implications of the BLM protests.
00:08:06.940I want to tell you guys about my friends, our friends over my Patriot Supply.

00:09:16.580Russia is accusing the U.S. of being involved in a drone attack on the Kremlin, something the U.S. denies.
00:09:25.860State media released these videos of drones exploding above the Kremlin's iconic domes yesterday, accusing Ukraine of trying to assassinate Vladimir Putin, who was not there at the time.
00:09:38.200President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly denies any Ukrainian involvement.
00:09:42.420This morning, Russian forces launched a complex airstrike on Kiev.
00:09:48.820Well, well, well, do you remember back when this story first broke?
00:09:58.100Because I certainly do over at Human Events Daily.
00:10:02.240And I remember how we described what happened at the Kremlin, because I remember when this Kremlin drone, this completely insane drone attack took place on the Kremlin.
00:11:17.180Am I going to say the Russians would never do a false flag attack ever?
00:11:19.720No, of course, but you wouldn't do it on your own stuff, your own iconic central government location, which is associated with being an absolute national monument.
00:11:39.860My article in the New York Post today, I argue that the alleged drone strike on the Kremlin looks like a false flag attack instigated by the Russians because the evidence does not hang together.
00:11:49.060Everybody knows that Putin does not sleep in the Kremlin.
00:13:02.520Literally that Christopher Steele, as in the Steele dossier, Christopher Steele.
00:13:05.840Well, after what is most likely a false flag drone attack on the Kremlin carried out by Russian intelligence, ex-president Medvedev is openly advocating for the elimination of President Zelensky.
00:13:17.060I love how he throws in the acronyms there where he's like, he's like, oh, the ICC.
00:13:27.540Like, you know, you can't just say International Criminal Court or International Law.
00:14:16.460And then, of course, you see the headline.
00:14:18.140Ukrainians were likely behind Kremlin drone attack.
00:14:20.040U.S. officials say American spy agencies do not know exactly who carried out the attack this month, but suggested it was part of a series of covert operations orchestrated by Russian or Ukrainian security forces.
00:14:29.400Look, is it really that hard to think?
00:14:32.520I mean, just just just go with me on this.
00:14:33.960Is it really that hard to think that the Ukrainians keep in mind?
00:14:39.520They were able to get explosives into Russia.
00:14:42.700OK, through a third nation into Russia on a truck, which is then later remotely detonated, specifically over a portion, this one trestle of the bridge going into Crimea, across the Kirt Strait into Crimea, where it was weakest.
00:14:58.240And then it took weeks for the Russians to be able to repair this thing.
00:15:01.640They showed they were able to do that.
00:15:02.680Look, Russia's got a massive land border with Ukraine, a massive land border with a number of other countries in Central Asia.
00:15:10.660It's got a massive land border with Belarus.
00:15:12.960There are ways to get stuff across that border.
00:15:16.440And in a chaotic environment like this, if you're willing to do so surreptitiously, yeah, it's possible.
00:15:21.920There was even a pro-Russian, pro-war blogger who was assassinated in St. Petersburg just a couple of weeks ago in like a cafe or something.
00:15:31.120So the idea that it would be impossible to get drones in, well, obviously this is highly sensitive operation.
00:15:38.620No, it's absolutely not impossible in wartime for this to happen.
00:15:42.220You get the drones in, you get the explosives, and then you try to get in as close as you can.
00:15:46.240And so it just goes to show you that the entire mainstream media was completely wrong.
00:15:52.120But here at Human Events, we told you the truth.
00:15:56.040Folks, when we're talking about the escalation into World War III, when we're talking about the horrific effects around the world, we don't always have an ability to control them.
00:16:08.440But what you can do is secure your financial stability and your family's financial stability.
00:16:14.640One of the ways you can do that is precious metals.
00:16:17.600So let me tell you about my friends over at Allegiance Gold.
00:16:19.840If you're interested, you can now get up to $5,000 in free silver on a qualifying purchase at Allegiance Gold when you visit protectwithposo.com.
00:16:29.440Not only is it a hedge against the insane Bidenflation, and we know that that debt limit is going to be raised.
00:16:36.680So they are going to continue the spending.
00:16:38.720They're going to continue the printing absolutely into oblivion.
00:18:44.780Because South Africa, back in the 1990s, and go back to our episode where we talked about this, we had to pull up on like the CNN archives.
00:18:51.420That Nelson Mandela, working with the Clinton administration, wrote critical race theory and racial quotas into South Africa's constitution.
00:19:02.240Because they did that, there are now racial quota laws for every single level of South Africa's industry, their infrastructure, their government, their economy, all of it.
00:19:48.860The economic crisis in South Africa worsened this year with rolling blackouts contributing to the problem.
00:19:52.880This week, the situation was exacerbated when organized crime gangs targeted the rail infrastructure connecting the nation's wealthiest province with a top container port causing widespread disruptions in trade.
00:20:04.840Taking all these factors into account, the African National Congress, a social democratic political party in the country, warned that South Africa is now in danger of becoming a failed state.
00:20:19.660Remember, when apartheid ended, South Africa was handed over one of the most pristine governments, one of the most pristine countries in all of Africa.
00:21:12.420We should actually look that up, by the way, because you know how they have those Tesla.
00:21:16.140They have the recharging stations that are all around, right?
00:21:18.740How many of those do they actually have in South Africa?
00:21:20.700Because I got to tell you, it sounds like if what we're reading is true about this with the power lines, that they're going to be, they would steal all of those as well.
00:21:29.140Producers, everyone at Human Events, we need to check that out.
00:21:32.000Armed gangs are attacking South Africa's state-owned infrastructures, disrupting electricity generating plans to rate freight rail lines.
00:21:40.620The container rail line between Durban and Gutanag isn't resolved promptly.
00:21:45.280This may dent trade with other nations.
00:21:47.660The security incidents might force some companies to do business elsewhere.
00:21:52.120Trains are now being stuck because the power lines and the power stations that are being attacked are the ones that run the trade in South Africa.
00:22:06.220That's why the government, for whatever reason, won't do anything about safety, won't do anything about actually righting the wrongs, won't run their country properly.
00:23:51.100We're going to make it so that people can have the right representation.
00:23:56.720We need to make sure that the distribution of outcomes matches the distribution of races and genders and, you know, gender identities too now.
00:24:07.120Well, the problem with that, and sure, doesn't that sound great?
