quickly turned too.
A narrative of violent intimidation which continued for days.
So what makes these events similar?
It was on Kristallnacht in 1938 that Germany's youth rose up and acted
out the #politicallycorrect teachings championed in their schools.
It was on Kristallnacht in 1938 that the German Youth Corp forcefully implemented the Progressive ideals of their time by moving beyond acts of subtle discrimination to acts of violent intimidation.
The link below is to a well detailed article on European and
American #Progressive social philosophy during the preware period including how these views even extended into
California State Supreme Court decisions and were later used as a defense in the Nuremberg Trials by Nazi war criminals.

These progressive values were also foundational in the implementation of many of
America's social and health care policies. Policies that many in our black community find discriminatory and offensive.

It was on Kristallnacht in 1938 that the press and political
leadership of Germany accelerated the seeming explosion of "spontaneous, retaliatory" violence and
destruction into the streets of occupied Europe.
Earlier they had endorsed acts of discrimination. But now widespread physical violence and destruction were seen as heroic acts of the people's will. This allowed them to move forward to eventually seize all Jewish property. It created the sanction for indiscriminate public executions and progressed their cause toward eventual mass
genocide.
While visiting Israel, our Israeli guide reported
that He had grandparents who survived the Holocaust and became the sole
representative of their two families. Both were widowed as a result of the
genocide. They met and married on a kibbutz after fleeing to Israel. He and
his family continue to live on a kibbutz.
Like the progressive leader in Germany in 1938, our presiding President, in 2016, President Obama, took a position of passive understanding and
acceptance of the riots in hopes to avoid escalation. The State Governor of Oregon went even farther to offer condolences.
TWO YEARS EARLIER....
With Malheur, this same Governor, Kate Brown was not so amicable to protesters who challenged her values. It was on Wed, Jan 21st, 2016 that Governor Kate Brown demanded an end to the protest at Malheur Wildlife Refuge, ending the nonviolent phase stating...
“This SPECTACLE of LAWLESSNESS must end! ... I WILL NOT STOP INSISTING that Federal Officials ENFORCE THE LAW!”
Within three days a key spokesperson from the group would be stopped in a road block and gunned down in an ambush in route to a nursing home facility while transporting a female vocalist. See story in the (link) below.

and Governmental Responses
This reaction of government leadership to pardon and condone overt acts of violence and anarchist destruction, while harshly punishing more subtle expressions of resistance, protest and negotiation is appalling. In looking at the two groups, What patterns do you see that cause you concern?
Although these men, expressing their grievances at the refuge posed a potential threat by openly brandishing firearms. Their pattern of action was consistently non threatening. This can be clearly seen in the sequence of videos in the playlist above created from varied sources.
The only casualty was one of failed police protocol much like the death of George Floyd.
The Malheur Protesters presented themselves as strong, but refused to threaten or act destructively in a way that would cause overt acts intimidation or fear. Their behavior and actions in the town were nonthreatening and non disruptive.
(Disclaimer)
Irresponsible and destructive acts did occur in the seeming privacy of the wildlife refuge and appropriate consequences were levied against the perpetrators of these acts in the form of fines and detainment after the protest ended.
Compare the handling of George Floyd and Levoy Finicum.
The State and Federal Government response with Finicum also failed. It failed by escalating this case, even as happened with George Floyd. But here the prejudice of administrative power is shown in an unprovoked homicidal confrontation with Federal and State Police ordered by the Governor that ended the life of Mr. Finicum. It was not a failure to understand the urgent need for medical care. It was a preplanned, well orchestrated public execution. Have you seen the continuous event body cam footage of the George Floyd confrontation, containment and demise.

And yet their careless or possibly even calloused actions were considered criminal resulting in the criminal sentences listed below.
"In 2021, Chauvin was sentenced to 22 ½ years in state prison for Floyd's murder. He also received a 21-year-federal sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights." Three other Minneapolis officers who helped with restraining Floyd were convicted of depriving Floyd of his right to medical care. J. Alexander Kueng was sentenced to three years, Tou Thao to 3 1/2 years and Thomas Lane to 2 1/2 years. See full NPR article at:
The reaction of government leadership to pardon and condone overt acts of violence and destruction in the anarchist riots, while harshly punishing more subtle expressions of power is criminal in my opinion.
The tragedy of George Floyd's Death was appalling! But it was not a well planned intentionally staged event that was almost guaranteed to end with the execution of a beloved provider, husband and father of eleven children.
In regard to the Malheaur Protesters;
Our Constitution guarantees their right to both bear arms in a nonthreatening manner and redress our government with their grievance through petition and protests. This group did both as well as actively lessening the potential for intimidation and disturbance by conducting their protests away from population centers.
In 2016, I wrote that, "We need to exercise caution or we may find ourselves
continuing down the road laid by Germany’s Brown Shirts."
These Brown Shirts were not fringe group outsiders. The were the progressive expression of change promoted through the German Public School System. A system devoted to the progressive changes that were being promoted in their culture even as they were across the globe. Hitler was not alone in his dream.
What made it unique was their unfounded confidence in their current level of understanding and problem solving. It was their unwavering devotion to change without regard for the values of past generations.
Adolf Hitler
May Day 1933 When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
(Are we already too late?)
The petri
dish where destructive groups like anarchists, Nazis, the Taliban, and the
KKK gain their power is in the fear that
mob action creates. Mob action was the result of BLM activism, but not the Malheaur Protest. In fact it was motivated by a land management disagreement over suppressing wildfires on Federal Lands that adjoined private property. The father of the primary leader of the protest group had been imprisoned for illegally backburning a portion of Federal Land adjoining his property. It is a very effective forestry management strategy that could have saved billions in loss and damage if implemented. But back to protests.
The augar that feeds mob distruction and chaos is the division and lack of civil
discipline, #WeThePeople," exhibit. It is our willingness to act out against each other without being fully informed. This is the, "Chaos," that Mao stated was, "Perfect."
Street protest is our LAST, not first mode of communication
because of the volatility and confusion it creates and the destruction and loss it imposes. Protests should be a form of attention getting communication. Not a form of punishment. In the fervor of chaos, details are lost in the manipulation and generalities replace the facts.
Street protests becomes necessary only when all other means fail. These often unnecessary disruption create confusion and waste valuable resources by placing huge expense on local communities.

These are acts of social destruction. They are the opposite of productive civil disobedience because their message was been hijacked.
You don't add fuel to a hijacked plane.
You dump the fuel.
The protesters are being played as pawns by the Anarchists
and the very Media that promotes and profits off the negative and divisive
aspects of the the chaos they create. They foster a shallow, easy to share media market where truly informative content doesn't progress.
It continuously rewards hyperbole and outrage with the spotlight of their attention. We have relinquished the reigns of journalistic research and discipline to the
profiteers and gossips.
We have failed to create a thirst for wisdom and
perspective among, "We The People."
For those with a genuine desire to improve America, we would accomplish far more by volunteering in our communities, writing our representatives and working to benefit those living in our homes.
Home is where values are traditionally
taught through modeling and precept.
Following is an excellent article on who holds power over
shaping the lives of our children. It was written in response to the complaint of President Trump being a compromised moral example to their children.

With the rejection of the traditional
Judaeo-Christian family and it's values, the modern nuclear family is being reshaped along
media induced progressive guidelines in much the same way as happened in Pre-War Germany.
In 2016: I wrote that,
"In
time we will find out if we are going to have a similar outcome." (to the changes experience in Pre-War Germany)
I only hope that here in 2020 it is not too late.
Or like so many others we may soon find that the anarchist in charge no longer favor protests.
