From the desk of…. Bill Riccio, Jr.

August 19, 2020 By whvoice

Let’s just say it all together and get it over. Antifa and Black Lives Matter are evil. Full stop. No qualifications. Evil. That’s E-V-I-L. And, no I won’t make a qualifier saying that the sentiment of Black Lives Matter is different than the organization. The two are joined at the hip.

And, they are both funded by outside groups and individuals, including the enemy of the United States George Soros. Soros, a shady figure who is the globalist par excellence, is doing all he can with his billions to bring the country to heel so it will conform to his vision of what the world should look like. And he’s not alone.

Globalism in this iteration is the belief that the only way the world will find lasting peace is to end borders, meld cultures and get rid of superpowers. The belief is the flattening of world cultures and mixing of races and tongues will bring about some type of understanding. Wars would be eschewed and peace will reign.

It’s a nice thought, but it’s a bit simplistic as most such philosophies are. But you see, Soros and his gang, the people who jet set around the world to various “forums,” think the biggest hurdle is the United States, particularly since Donald John Trump won office in 2016. The US was almost where it should be, under the previous administration. The US was “leading from behind.”

Whenever I hear of Soros and his gaggle of internationalists discuss this worldview I always have one question: where is China in all this? You see, China wants world domination in economy and the military. If the recent events in Hong Kong are any indication, China will be the greatest threat to the world since the Soviet Union. Soros and his people never seem to include the CCP in their calculations.

Antifa stands for “antifascist.” This is Orwellian in the truest sense. The mobs that have plagued Portland and Seattle for the last few months are, in fact, fascist. It has become a mark of recent history that if you want to understand what the Left is doing, listen to what they accusations they make concerning their political opponents. Intolerant? Check. Violent? Check. Self-righteous? Check.

Do yourself a favor. Go on the Internet and watch some old newsreel footage of the Fascisti in Italy, or the Brown Shirts of Nazi German in the 1930s. Then watch footage of Antifa. Except for the color, the tactics are exactly the same.

The Democratic Party has been infiltrated by this group. They use the term “democratic socialist,” but what they really want is government control of the economy, health care and our lives. Everything will be free: college, health care, guaranteed incomes. The rich will pay for it, and the rest of us will live in Shangri-La.

But the real objective is total control. We are people to be ruled, and the collective is more important than the individual. That is fascism at its essence. Progressives as they call themselves have always believed this. Technocrats would run the government because the people are too stupid. This will bring about a brave new world.

When Antifa began its latest insurgency, I remember thinking the entire mobilization seemed a little too organized. Of course, it was. The death of George Floyd, which we are not seeing is not what it was billed to be, was the proximate cause of the violence. But, forgive me, this was a riot waiting to happen. All that was needed was, in fact, a proximate cause.

Antifa’s thugs are paid. They are paid by Soros and those of like mind. So, it is a mercenary army, looking to rain down terror. It is a domestic terror group and its leaders should be rounded up and made longtime guests of the federal government.

Black Lives Matter, Inc., meanwhile, is a well-documented Marxist organization. The leadership says so. Who are we to dispute them? Black lives do matter, and I will state a heresy. All lives matter! The taking of a life matters. But, BLM is a fraud, because only those lives that serve the political ends of the organization matter.

Like Antifa, BLM is E-V-I-L.

The goal of the organization, like Antifa’s, is the destruction of the nation. They too are an organized insurgency looking to create mayhem, and use violent tactics to get their way. BLM should be declared a domestic terror organization, and they, too, should be made guests of the federal government.

Meanwhile, the useful idiots both organizations use to work their evil deeds are 20-somethings or teens are the results of 40 years of deconstructing the US in the education system.

These college students and graduates have little real knowledge, but as the song in “Carousel” says, they were “taught in their dear little ear” to hate and fear. What they were taught to hate and fear was their own country. The radical leftists of the 1960s have succeeded in brainwashing our youngsters, making them legions of useless idiots.

What they don’t know about history, culture and real thought would fill libraries. But, they are convinced in their self-righteousness and goodness. That’s the only thing needed to do evil for evil.

One final thought. If you want to know what the world would be like under this type of leadership, look no farther than New York City. A true believer, the mayor of the city, is in his second term. He is implementing all the tenets of Marxism and Socialism that he can.

You can see the results. People are leaving the Big Apple in record numbers. The rich, who for generations bankrolled liberal policies as long as they were able to stay above the fray are in mass exodus. That means the people who paid most of the taxes are gone. So, too, are corporations, stores, outlets.

That’s the world the Left and the Democratic Party are supporting.

Let’s say it again.

Antifa and Black Lives Matter are E-V-I-L.

    West Haven has clearly put real actions before any fancy rhetoric or lip service relative to diversity. Despite the fact that we had a state policeman shoot and kill a person of color, he said he saw go for a weapon inside his car, here within the WH city limits – there are couple of relatively recent decisions and actions taken that show our commitment to the city’s diversity.

    Back in the school year 2010-11 Carrigan and Bailey were reconstituted from Middle Schools for grades 6 – 8, to Intermediate schools grades 5 – 6 at Carrigan and 7 – 8 at Bailey. This meant, like with our High School, all students would attend these four grades 5 – 8 together instead of have two sets of students attending two different Middle Schools on the opposite ends of the city.

    One of the primary results of this reconstitution was a de facto desegregation of students in those four grades (total of approx.1850 students or so). This helped insure they were all familiar (or at least more familiar) with their fellow students prior to entering WHHS.

    And as most WH citizens know, we recently approved and are building a “new” HS which is subsidized by the State but also includes by approx. $30M from the city of WH. This is another sign of support for our city-wide students regardless of ethnicity and socio-economics. We have invested in a beautiful new high school (almost finished!) which will be attended by a diverse group of students (approx. enrollment for FY21 – 520 Hispanic, 462 White, 362 Black, 70 Asian, 57 two races or more). All fact, no fiction or lip service.

      So what I see is a high school population that is diverse. It looks like this information is part of a response to a opinion piece that has zero tolerance to liberal groups. What’s it like living there?
