With a cult following as stupid, racist, and reactionary as Donald Trump’s, it’s very dangerous when he encourages division and violence. Donald Trump telegraphs his people to incite violence and other times, he’s not saying it clear.

Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man was shot in the back at least seven times by the Kenosha, Wisconsin Police Department. For you Trump cultists out there, it doesn’t matter if he had a criminal history. It doesn’t matter if there was a warrant for his arrest. It doesn’t matter if he resisted arrest. Police do not have the right to use lethal force on unarmed people who aren’t posing a threat. The cops shot him in front of children.

Kyle’s full name and social media accounts were quickly discovered. Kyle is a hardcore supporter of “Blue Lives Matter.”

For the past few days, there have been protests in Kenosha. Yes, there has been violence and destruction. Now, inject white gun-toting militia men posing as vigilantes and you have a recipe for a disaster. What does this have to do with Donald Trump? Everything.

Last night during the Trump hate convention, I only heard Jacob Blake’s name once. Melania mentioned unrest in the streets but all she said about that was an acknowledgement of it.

Also from last night, armed militia men took to the streets in Kenosha, killed two people and injured at least one. There is a video of a white man running down the street with an AR-15 type weapon, who stops, turns, and starts shooting at protesters.

There are reports that when he ran by cops, he put his arms in the air to surrender, and they cops ignored him and let him go. This is why there are riots.

When police apprehended George Floyd for trying to cash a counterfeit $20 bill, they killed him. When they apprehended Eric Garner for selling loose cigarettes, they killed him. They killed Breonna Taylor while she was in bed and they were looking for someone else.

When they captured white shooter Dylann Roof who had just executed nine black people in a church, the cops took him to Burger King. And when they see a white man running down the street right after he had shot into a crowd of black people, they let him keep running.

Alt-Right and neo-Nazi message-boards like 4chan, infamous for spreading racist ideas and popularizing Qanon, are already celebrating and praising Kyle for “killing communists.”

Can you start to appreciate why there are calls to defund the police? Don’t you see there are different systems of treatment and justice for white and black people?

And yes, Donald Trump approves of this. He instigated what happened last night.

Last April, Donald Trump encouraged armed men to storm the state capitol building in Lansing, Michigan. He tweeted to loyal base of racists, “Liberate Michigan.” He also tried to stir up violence in other states with Democratic governors when he tweeted, “Liberate Minnesota” and “Liberate Virginia.”

During this week’s convention, the hate and fear is widespread. Other than Melania, every speaker has promised doom and gloom if Donald Trump loses the election.

They’re lying while warning the nation will erupt in violence in Joe Biden’s America. Why, the cities will burn in Joe Biden’s America…and to argue their case, they use footage from Donald Trump’s America.

The killing in #Kenosha comes only a day after a very wealthy couple in St. Louis who threatened #BlackLivesMatter protesters with guns, who were marching past their home to protest the mayor for doxxing activists, spoke at the RNC convention. pic.twitter.com/y6cDT4a3VU

During the convention, they brought out the gun-toting Missouri couple, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who took to their lawn with weapons, she with a pistol and him with an AR-15 type weapon, to point them at black people walking on the sidewalk in front of their home.

They claim they were protecting their home from the people walking down the sidewalk. The McCloskeys warned what happened to them could happen to anybody in America…..you know, any white person in America. 

Police in armored vehicles thank militia members, including Kyle, for being there; give them water. Happening while police tell other people to leave the area. Clearly militia members are being given free reign. "We appreciate you guys, we really do." https://t.co/KbBeUMXjYA

The Republicans are making heroes out of this couple, currently being charged for pointing guns at people, for pointing guns at innocent and peaceful protesters. In bringing them out and putting them on TV endorsing Donald Trump, the Republican Party is endorsing armed militias to take to the streets.

In addition, Donald Trump is warning if he loses, black people may move into your white suburb.

The armed goons in Kenosha weren’t protecting anything. You don’t protect property by running down the street shooting at people. Many of the armed goons aren’t protecting their homes and businesses because they’re not from Kenosha.

These goons saw an opportunity to walk around with guns to overcompensate for their tiny penises, to feel good about being asshole Republicans, and maybe if they’re lucky, get to shoot some black people. And ya’ know, the cops in Kenosha just might let them get away with it.

How many black men running down the street with semi-automatic weapons do you think the Kenosha police let go last night? 

What’s going on in Kenosha is a result from a message of hate, fear, racism, destruction, and gun violence.

Donald Trump approves that message. What happened last night happened in Donald Trump’s America.

En Brasil, una pequeña oligarquía todavía posee la mayor parte de la tierra. El Movimiento de los Sin Tierra, MST ocupó una finca abandonada y la convirtió en un paraíso comunal durante 20 años, con 450 familias. Pero ahora el MST está bajo un ataque total de la derecha neofascista de Bolsonaro y una parte ha sido aplastada y quemada. La ocupación continúa y el MST se compromete a reconstruir y triunfar.

Recientemente el régimen brasileño, a través del accionar de sus fuerzas represivas, invadió y destruyó una parte del campamento que el Movimiento de los y las Sin Tierra de Brasil, viene manteniendo desde hace 20 años en Quilombo Grande do Campo, en Mina Gerais.

No es extraño que esto ocurra ya que el MST está en la mira de la burguesía, los terratenientes y por supuesto del genocida gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro, son un ejemplo de otro mundo diferente y con su resistencia iluminan a muchos y muchas en el continente y el mundo. .

Para hablar de lo allí ocurrido, nos comunicamos con Daniel Pereira, dirigente en el área de producción del Movimiento, y uno de los integrantes del campamento atacado.

• –Cuéntanos cómo ocurrieron los hechos del campamento Quilombo Campo Grande. Cómo se dio el ataque policíal y qué representaba ese campamento que durante tantos años ha construido el Movimiento Sin Tierra de Brasil

-Quilombo Campo Grande es un campamento popular, localizado en Campo do Meio y que posee 450 familias. Es un campamento que resiste hace más de 20 años, en un área que era dedicada a la plantación de caña de azúcar para la producción de alcohol. En este proceso de lucha existen dos procesos jurídicos de desapropiación de la tierra. Uno de ellos, es el que hace a las sedes de la antigua hacienda. Y el restante, es de las 3900 hectáreas.

And last week California ruined the hopes of families who believed their state might become the first to upend the status quo.

In 2009, shortly after police officers shot and killed her 16-year-old brother in San Pablo, California, Geoffrea Morris drove to a cemetery to look for a plot of land. On top of everything else, she was stressed about money: Burial and funeral expenses would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and she was strapped for cash after graduating from social work school. A man who worked at the cemetery asked whether her brother had been the victim of a violent crime—a designation that would allow him to give her a discount. She started to cry.

“They’re not seeing him as a victim,” she recalls telling him. A man who worked at the cemetery asked whether her brother had been the victim of a violent crime. She started to cry. “They’re not seeing him as a victim.”

Kneeling man who raised his hands shot dead by Calif. police

In California and many other states, crime victims and their family members can apply to the government to help pay for funeral costs, counseling, medical fees, or other crime-related expenses. But there’s a significant catch: Across the country, victims of police violence don’t qualify.

Police departments won’t issue them reports certifying their victimhood, documentation that’s required by most states’ victim compensation boards. Plus, no state’s board will provide compensation to anyone whom officers suspected of being involved in a crime when they were injured or killed, which is often the case for people harmed by police.

Turkish President Erdogan has sought to create an image for himself as the champion of religion. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) also tried to claim they were following a religion, yet both used water as a weapon of war.

Water in Islam

Turkey is almost 100% Muslim and has made world headlines converting Christian cathedrals into Mosques. Turkish President Erdogan has been converting a secular democracy in Turkey, founded by Ataturk, into a Muslim Brotherhood haven, which follows Radical Islam as a political ideology, which is the same ideology as ISIS.

Water in Islam is considered as a gift from God, belonging to all equally, which has to be distributed equally among all living beings, humans, animals, and plant life, according to Cherif Abderrahman Jah, an Islamic academic and humanist.

The ISIS terrorists have often used water as a weapon of war in Iraq and Syria by cutting off supplies to villages that resisted their rule and as a tool to expand their control over the region’s water infrastructure.

They wanted to seize the water to prove they were building an actual state. In 2014 ISIS besieged the Syrian town of Kobane to secure a piece of the border with Turkey.

6 years later, 2020, the same scenario plays out, and in the same area, but ISIS has been defeated, and the Erdogan regime in Turkey has taken their place. Many experts feel ISIS and Turkey have been connected in their use of Radical Islam as a political tool, devoid of any connection to Islam, which is a religion.

In Brazil a tiny oligarchy still owns most of the land. The Landless Movement , MST occupied an abandoned estate and made it into a communal paradise for 20 years, with 450 families. But now the MST is under total attack from the neo fascist right under Bolsonaro and a part has been flattened and burned. The occupation continues and the MST vow to rebuild and fight on

Recently the Brazilian regime, through the actions of its repressive forces, invaded and destroyed a part of the camp that the Movement of the Landless of Brazil has been maintaining for 20 years in Quilombo Grande do Campo, in Mina Gerais.

It is not strange that this happens since the MST is in the sights of the bourgeoisie, the landowners and of course the genocidal government of Jair Bolsonaro, are an example of another different world and with their resistance they illuminate many and many in the continent and the world. To talk about what happened there, we contacted Daniel Pereira, a leader in the Movement’s production area, and one of the members of the attacked camp.

• –Tell us how the events of the Quilombo Campo Grande camp occurred. How the police attack took place and what did the camp that Brazil’s Landless Movement has built for so many years represent

-Quilombo Campo Grande is a popular camp, located in Campo do Meio and has 450 families. It is a camp that has resisted for more than 20 years, in an area that was dedicated to the plantation of sugar cane for the production of alcohol. In this process of struggle there are two legal processes of land expropriation. One of them is the one that makes the headquarters of the old hacienda. And the rest is 3900 hectares.
