Controlling the Narrative.
An updated reposting from my November 2016 post
The moral outrage of prejudice is like staring so intently at our assumptions that we cannot examine our beliefs.
We close our eyes, our minds and our hearts to accepting truthful perspective.
Lessons from one of History's most significant Riots of "Moral Outrage."
(against perceived Jewish abuse after the assassination of Ernst vom Rath)
Date: November 9-10, 1938
Location: across all of Germany, Austria, and occupied Europe.
A quote from the Kristallnacht Holocaust Encyclopedia, found at: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/kristallnacht.
"A Turning Point
See Monument below.
No it's not a stone bicycle rack.
While in Germany years earlier, when we visited to reunite with my birth family. We also visited the Reichstag building in Berlin, (comparable to our Senate). In front of the building is a very small, very unusual monument. It was created to recognize the 96 members of the German congress who spoke out against the Nazi narrative. The Reichstag is where they unsuccessfully challenged the edicts followed by the newly formed, "Ministry of Information." Through the, Ministry, the Nazi narrative was advanced throughout the German culture and into the German public school system. It was celebrated by many, especially those in Hitler's Youth Corp. Large portions of this Nazi narrative were also incorporated into many of Germany's churches due to it's seeming popularity and to avoid future discrimination.
This monument is small in size and easy to disregard, like the effect of their voices, even as it occupies a place of honor in front of the Reichstag building.
The video below presents an eyewitness account from the perspective of a ten year old girl who experienced the narrative of the day. She lived in Austria and describes her excitement with the promises of a central planned Socialist State and the powerful cultural changes that came during the annexation of Austria.

A CRISIS IN MY HOME
TOWN
ON AN ANNIVERSARY OF EVIL
A similar event, in the style of the Kristrallnacht uprising occurred in our 2016 (Post Election Riots of Moral Outrage)
Date: November 9,10,11,12, 2016
Location: Portland, Oregon and across the USA.
Earlier that November I had visited Israel with my son and his fiance'. Here I am at Israel's Holocaust Museum, #YadVashem Memorial.
At YadVashem I was graphically reintroduced to #Kristallnacht, or the, "Night of Broken Glass," and all that came with it. My experience motivated my original post in November of 2016.

Three days after returning home from my Israel trip a youth led movement eventually became much like a "(k)ristallnacht." It was taking place at the city where I worked. At first it took the form of a regular protest as it started with youthful protesters marching, which...
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 dead. See story in the (link) below.

A Comparison of Protests
and Governmental Responses
and Governmental Responses
The State and Federal Government response however 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.
This 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 appalling.
Our Constitution guarantees our right to both bear arms in a nonthreatening manner and redress our government with our grievance through petition and protests. This group did both as well as actively lessening their intimidation 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." (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.
The augar that feeds them is the division and lack of civil
discipline, #WeThePeople," exhibit.
Street protest is our LAST, not first mode of communication
because of the volatility and confusion it creates by manipulating the generalities of it's message. It becomes necessary only when other means fail,
but the disruption creates confusion and wastes valuable resources by placing huge expense on local communities.

And these most recent...
Post George Floyd death/ Black Lives Matter, (Riots of Moral Outrage) once again in the (k)ristrallnacht (style)
Date: May 25- to date June 23, 2020

These are acts of social destruction. They are the opposite of productive civil disobedience because their message has
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. How?...
By fostering a media market where truly informative content doesn't sell.
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.
Titled: Don’t give Trump so much credit, America
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.
Youth uprisings after anarchist control. It really didn't seem that bad at the start. It's really not that bad, No not really
