DOES TRUTH MATTER?
AUTHOR Frank G. Simon, MD
DOCTORS' LOUNGE
Have you seen downtown Louisville?
It is all boarded up due
to rioters who broke windows.
However, the media will not report
it.
I received my July issue of
Louisville Medicine today, July.
22, and was shocked that the controversy
over Black Lives Matter and the law and order issue was
presented from only one point of view.
There were four articles that were opposed to law and order,
and NONE in support of it or our police force. Crucial facts were
totally left out of all four articles!
Let me report a few facts from an article in the print version
of the June 2020 issue of Whistleblower, a publication of World
Net Daily. I believe this to be the most respected pro-American
magazine in the country.
The article was by David Kupelian, an award-winning American
journalist and author of three top selling books. His article in the
print publication was also published online on July 15, entitled 2020:
The Strangest and Most Crucial Year of Our Lives with sub-heading:
Attempted coup, impeachment, pandemic, riots, election – where
it’s all heading.
In the online article Kupelian said, “Like a raging mega-forest
fire started by a single spark, the Memorial Day death of George
Floyd ignited a nonstop conflagration of violent social upheaval,
arson, rioting, looting, assault, shootings, desecration of historic
monuments, demands to abolish the police and release incarcerated
criminals – and explicit threats from ringleaders to ‘burn down’ the
American system.”
I have seen a video on the internet from the body camera of
the police; it showed that Floyd was so full of crack and fentanyl
(found at the time of the official autopsy but never reported in the
left wing media) that he was not able to stand up and staggered to
the ground before he was ever touched by the police.
According to the article, statistics clearly reveal that the widespread
abuse of Blacks is absurdly false. The article cites Heather
Mac Donald, bestselling author of The War on Cops saying:
“A new study published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences demolishes the Democratic narrative
regarding race and police shootings, which holds that white
officers are engaged in an epidemic of racially biased shootings
of black [sic] men. It turns out that white officers are
no more likely than black [sic] or Hispanic officers to shoot
black [sic] civilians. It is a racial group’s rate of violent crime
that determines police shootings, not the race of the officer.
The more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from
any given racial group, the greater the chance that members
of that racial group will be shot by a police officer.”
According to an article in Forbes magazine entitled Homicides
in Chicago Eclipse US Death Toll in Afghanistan and Iraq, the
murder rate in Chicago between 2001 and Sept. 6, 2016 was 7,916,
while the number of Americans killed in the Afghanistan war was
2,384 and in the Iraq war was 4,504.
The “protests” have, by and large, been engineered by openly
communist revolutionary groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter
and Refuse Fascism.
There have been recent videos and television interviews with the
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors in which she proudly
boasts of being a Marxist. “We actually do have an ideological
frame,” she said. “Myself and Alicia [Garza],” her lesbian partner
and BLM co-founder, “are particularly trained organizers – we are
trained Marxists. We are super versed on ideological theories…”
I quote the Whistleblower online article: “Another group, Refuse
Fascism, which has held recent rallies in Los Angeles, Cleveland,
Chicago, Tulsa and elsewhere across the U.S. [sic], was formed by
the Revolutionary Communist Party. Led by open communists, it
is headquartered in the RCP’s Revolution Books store in Harlem.
Major media organizations are, of course, well aware of all these
radical, anti-American, revolutionary affiliations, but never breathe
a word of it to the public, instead pretending that what Americans
are witnessing amounts to grassroots protests of the death of a black
[sic] man, widespread police brutality and a nation so profoundly
racist it might have to be ‘burned down’ before it can be set right.”
Liberal university “boot camps” have produced hundreds of
thousands of American-hating foot soldiers. In the onset of the last
couple of months’ upheaval, sound-minded observers tried to distinguish
between peaceful protestors and the mobs of rioters engaging
in vandalism, arson, looting, assault, vicious attacks on property
(including many Black-owned businesses), shootings and murder.
