WashPo: ‘Free Speech Makes It Difficult to Prosecute White Supremacy’
By Chris Menahan
The Washington Post lamented Thursday that the First Amendment makes it difficult to prosecute “white supremacists” for their political beliefs.
From The Washington Post, “Why free speech makes it difficult to prosecute white supremacy in America”
Federal authorities have used RICO many times to prosecute white prison gangs, but what got the members of organizations such as the Aryan Brotherhood locked up under the statute was not the racism they believed but the acts they committed: crimes including drug trafficking, murder, kidnapping and money laundering.
In the case of mass shootings by those who believe in white supremacy, such as the young white man who allegedly killed 22 people at a Walmart store in El Paso last weekend, prosecutors don’t need RICO to make a criminal case.
But if they wanted to use RICO to hold accountable the collective ideology that radicalized the shooter, they would need to prove that there was an organized enterprise involved with that ideology, that there was a traceable criminal conspiracy to commit violence and that there was a leader or leaders who instructed others to cause harm.
Without that, the collective ideology is not a conspiracy but hate speech. And in the United States, hate speech is not criminal. It’s a right protected by the First Amendment.
C’mon now, where’s your can-do attitude?
This is more like it:
But according to retired law professor G. Robert Blakey, who wrote the RICO statute and is considered the nation’s foremost authority on it, federal authorities should be using RICO to more rigorously investigate white extremist groups without violating free speech protections.
It wouldn’t be easy, he said, but there’s “no excuse” not to try.
Well said. The Bill of Rights is no reason not to start locking people up for their political beliefs!
Incidentally, the Post reported one day earlier how a Trump appointed prosecutor is “putting white supremacists in jail” by hitting them with archaic rioting charges for fighting with antifa (despite one California judge already throwing said rioting charges out for violating the First Amendment):
By the way, if you’re wondering who classifies as a “white supremacist” in modern America, just ask rapidly-rising Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren:
That’s all we need to hear, Liz! Lock him up!

MSNBC’S JASON JOHNSON SAYS TUCKER CARLSON “BASICALLY SUPPORTS TERRORISM” – (THIS IS WHY THEY WANT OUR GUNS AMERICA!)
Commentator truly jumps the shark.
By Paul Joseph Watson – AUGUST 9, 2019,
MSNBC regular Jason Johnson claimed that Fox News host Tucker Carlson “basically supports terrorism” during an appearance on Chris Hayes’ show last night.
Carlson has been under fire since he asserted earlier this week that America faces much bigger problems than “white supremacy.”
This angered Johnson, who brazenly suggested that Carlson supports the kind of domestic terrorism exemplified by the El Paso mass shooting.
“For the rest of news the media system, for everybody everybody else who is talking about it, we have to now frame this is as this is someone who basically supports terrorism,” said Johnson.
Johnson’s assertion that Tucker supports political violence is also rich given that he previously justified Antifa violence against police by claiming they were a protection force for white nationalists.
“I see Tucker Carlson as a guy who has repeatedly failed in television,” Johnson also remarked, an odd comment given that Carlson’s show routinely competes with Hannity’s Fox News show for the number one cable news broadcast in America.
Breitbart Confronts Biden for Repeating Charlottesville Lie Jewish Reporter: POTUS never called neo-Nazis ’very fine people’ Joe Rages, Triggered by Joel Pollak
By Joel B. Pollak
IOWA STATE FAIR, DES MOINES, Iowa — Former vice president Joe Biden told Breitbart News on Thursday that President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people,” and insisted that Trump did not condemn them — despite the fact that the video and transcript of Trump’s remarks prove him wrong.
The claim, known to conservative critics as the “Charlottesville hoax” or the “very fine people” hoax, is a core part of Biden’s stump speech, and a staple for many other Democratic presidential contenders as well. It is a key piece of “evidence” cited to support the claim that Trump is a racist who is inciting mass shootings.
Biden began his remarks at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair by repeating the claim that Trump had called neo-Nazis “very fine people”: “Charlottesville — that hate and that venom that we saw, and then the president saying, when asked about the groups … as well as the young woman, when she was killed, he said there were very fine people in both groups. Very fine people. No president, sitting president has ever said something like that. And the only thing that’s happened is it’s gotten worse.”
However, Biden is wrong.
Trump specifically said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”
He used the phrase “very fine people” to refer to non-violent protesters, both left and right, on either side of the question of the removal of a Confederate statue.
In that same press conference, the president also specifically condemned the murder of Heather Heyer, calling it “terrorism” and “murder.”
Breitbart News asked Biden about misquoting Trump, and the following exchange ensued.
Breitbart News: Mr. Vice President, are you aware that you’re misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville, he never called neo-Nazis “very fine people”?
Joe Biden: No, he called all those folks who walked out of that — they were neo-Nazis. Shouting hate, their veins bulging.
Breitbart News: But he said specifically that he was condemning them.
Joe Biden: Not specifically.
Breitbart News: He said —
Joe Biden: No, he did not. He said, he walked out, and he said — let’s get this straight. He said there were “very fine people” in both groups. They’re chanting antisemitic slogans, carrying flags.
Other reporters witnessed the exchange. Politico‘s Natasha Korecki tweeted: “Up close confrontation at the Iowa state fair:this man accuses @JoeBiden of misquoting @realDonaldTrump on white supremacists — and Biden tears into him.”
Prager U recently published a video on the topic:
Others who have refuted the “very fine people” hoax include CNN contributor Steve Cortesand Dilbert creator Scott Adams. Even CNN’s Jake Tapper has admitted that Trump did not say that, but the network continues to quote Trump as if he did.
ELIZABETH WARREN BLAMES TRUMP FOR EL PASO SHOOTING DESPITE DAYTON SHOOTER BEING HER SUPPORTER
She really is on thin ground.
By Paul Joseph Watson – AUGUST 8, 2019
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said that President Trump was responsible for creating the environment of “racial conflict and hatred” that led to the El Paso shooting despite the mass shooter in Dayton, Ohio being a big supporter of hers.
Warren answered “yes” when asked by the New York Times if she thought Trump was a white supremacist and went on to blame his rhetoric for the mass shooting in Texas.
The Senator told the paper that Trump “has given aid and comfort to white supremacists” and “Done the wink and a nod. He has talked about white supremacists as fine people. He’s done everything he can to stir up racial conflict and hatred in this country.”
Warren made the assertion despite the fact that the El Paso shooter said in his own manifesto that his beliefs pre-dated Trump and he was not radicalized by Trump.
The Senator also appears to be on thin ground given that the mass shooter in Dayton Ohio, a left-wing extremist who supported Antifa and attended at least one of their rallies, said that he would be voting for Warren if she won the Democratic candidacy.
After initially ignoring voluminous evidence that Connor Betts was a socialist radical, the media had to finally admit that he was a left-wing extremist on Tuesday.
(THIS IS WHY THEY WANT OUR GUNS AMERICA) – DEM ACTIVIST ‘JOKES’ ABOUT SETTING FIRE TO TUCKER CARLSON
“Maybe a milkshake filled with piss.”
By Paul Joseph Watson – AUGUST 8, 2019
A leftist activist called for setting Tucker Carlson on fire before subsequently claiming it was a”joke” after he received a backlash.
Tim Hannan, who describes himself as an anti-Trump resistance member and an “average citizen turned activist,” tweeted to his 26,000 followers, “#FireTuckerCarlson – literally light him on fire.”
The tweet was in response to liberal outrage over Carlson’s assertion that paranoia over “white supremacy” was becoming hysterical and that there are numerous other far bigger problems America faces.
As soon as the tweet began catching flak, Hannan tried to backpedal, tweeting, “For the record I hope no one hurts Tucker, this was a joke. Maybe a milkshake filled with piss, though.”
He then appeared to react angrily to the backlash, tweeting, “The people upset over my joke defend the most vile shit daily. Fuck you all.”
Hannan’s original tweet is still up and has not been removed by Twitter.
(THIS IS WHY THEY WANT OUR GUNS AMERICA) – New Hollywood Movie Features Liberal Elites Hunting Conservatives for Sport
‘The Hunt’ is about elite liberals paying to hunt rural, conservative Americans in a safari park.
An upcoming Universal Pictures movie is receiving scrutiny from its own publisher for its graphic depiction of political violence against conservative Americans.
The Hunt is about elite liberals kidnapping conservatives and paying to hunt them in a safari-style theme park in Europe. Watch the trailer here:
It is worth nothing that the movie’s trailer doesn’t exactly imply the film’s premise encourages violence against Trump supporters. The liberals paying to kill conservatives are depicted in a clearly villainous fashion, sipping champagne on private planes as their explain their desire to terrorize rural country bumpkins, who see they as less than human beings.
The conservative ‘prey’ in the movie speak with exaggerated southern accents and other stereotypes commonly utilized by the political left to tar right-leaning Americans. Some of them speak of being proud gun owners.
Betty Gilpin stars as a heroine who seeks to rally the other kidnapped “conservatives” in order to escape the twisted theme park.
The release of such a politically contentious movie is being debated at Universal Pictures, the film’s publisher. After the wake of the politically-charged violence seen at Dayton and El Paso, Texas, Universal is said to be reconsidering its promotional strategy for the movie. ESPN already refused to air an ad for ‘The Hunt’ earlier this summer.
‘The Hunt’ is still slated for release on September 27th, but it’s probably possible it will get delayed or even cancelled as this point. The latter possibility is less likely, as the film’s $18 million budget has already been spent.
It’s unclear what kind of reception the film will receive from the broader public. It’s already been a contentious project in Hollywood, where media elites are presumably less than thrilled to see liberal globalists depicted as callous murderers.

TWITTER LOCKS MCCONNELL CAMPAIGN’S ACCOUNT FOR SHOWING LEFTISTS THREATENING VIOLENCE OUTSIDE HOME
Also allowed “Massacre Mitch” to trend
8/7/2019
Twitter forced Sen. Mitch McConnell’s campaign Team Mitch to remove video of leftists calling for violence outside the Senate Majority Leader’s home in Louisville, Kentucky on Monday, saying the footage violates the platform’s “violent threats policy.”
“This morning, Twitter locked our account for posting the video of real-world, violent threats made against Mitch McConnell,” McConnell’s campaign manager Kevin Golden said.
“We appealed and Twitter stood by their decision, saying our account will remain locked until we delete the video.”
The social media company also forced two other accounts to remove the video, including congressional staffer Ben Goldey and Daily Wire journalist Ryan Saavedra, despite the video’s obvious newsworthiness.
In the video, far-left Black Lives Matter activist complained that McConnell should be killed, either by murder or natural causes.
“Just stab the motherfucker in the heart, please,” Helm said of a hypothetical McConnell voodoo doll.
“One of those heart attacks where they can’t breath, and they’re holding their chest and they fall backwards,” she said. “He’s in there nursing his broken arm. He should have broken his raggedy, wrinkled-ass neck.”
Meanwhile, Twitter has allowed, and likely helped propagate, #MassacreMitch to trend after leftists blamed him for the two shootings in El Paso and Dayton last weekend.
