He's no longer useful to anyone, not even his own family But there was a very important element of the Carelo Anthony case, one that we should never forget, even if the media wants to pretend that it never happened And I'm talking about the absolute unrestrained brazenness of all the lyings that we had to listen to over the past year. It rivaled the Kyle Rittenhouse trial in terms of how flagrantly dishonest coverage was Democrats, BLM activists, the corporate press all repeatedly deceived the public about basic fundamental aspects of the story Even though anyone with an internet connection could disprove the lies in about five minutes They claimed the video footage was irrelevant, even though it was a key part of the case They claimed As Metcaalf Pommald Mel Anthony when Metcalf barely actually touched him. They claimed there was an all white jury when only about half the jury was white and on and on and on The lying had the desired effect. Anthony's family raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of Black Americans were outraged The other day, one of these outraged bllack Americans randomly attacked a white person on the side of the road, falsely claiming he was involved in the case in some way Watch Hey, what are you on jury selection No No he, now he wasn't, Seriously He was on Jurish elect.. He't.. You gonna die Now when this footage was uploaded to Facebook, virtually all of the comments were positive And you can see some of them on the screen right there, quote Mane, that's so funny, bro. I'm crying LMAO. You out here doing the Lord's work quoting and it's just me talking If you couldn tell, if you've been paying attention over the last thirty years, none of this is new Black activists lied about O.J. Simpson, about Michael Brown, Traayvon Martin, Jacob Blake, George Floyd Every other black martyr in their war on white people They've been telling flagrant lies for a very long time, even when those lies are extremely easy to debunk And byy any measure, though, the Carmelo Anthony case is one of the most egregious examples. It was such an obvious case of first degree murder that The defense didn't even present a case for all intents and purposes. And really, the defense witnesses helped the prosecution over and over and over again There is no coherent version of events that justifies the killing of Boston Mccaf. and yet the lies and the outrage persisted The seeing all of this. One of your first reactions, once you get past the pure disgust and the desire to bring about immediate change in this country should be to ask yourself, What else have they lied to us about Over the years I'm not talking about the narratives that all reasonable people have already rejected. I'm not talking about OJ. Simpson or George Floyd. I'm talking about the narratives that even if you're pretty skeptical of left wing race propaganda might still seem convincing to you. In other words Now that we've seen how flagrantly they're willing to lie for the benefit of a killer like Carmelo Anthony What other famous black quote unquote victims in American history Need a second look It's a difficult question to address because the entire point of propaganda is to muddy the historical record so that No one in the future can debunk the lie. And that's why, for example NBC News ran this headline a couple of weeks ago, quote Kyle Rittenhouse gained fame for opening fire at a twenty twenty civil rightights rally in Wisconsin Now they know that Kyal Ritten House was attacked during ariot that caused tens of millions of dollars worth of property damage. They know the rioters tried to beat him with a skateboard and shoot him with a handgun But the goal of NBC News is to recast this event as a civil rights rally. so that fifty years from now, historians will portray Rittenhouse as a deranged gunman who mowed down peaceful protesters. NBC News no doesn't care that there was a public trial complete with extensive video evidence, which proved Rittenhouse legally defended himself during a riot They're hoping they can rewrite history anyway. and and they're probably right fifty years from now. I mean, you can imagine What the history books are going to say about that episode I mean, that's the whole point here that you know, seeing through this kind of propaganda isn't easy. When the propaganda was written more than seventy years ago, but we should try anyway justust to see what we might find out Again, they they're lying blatantly to our faces about events that we all experienced. And that in most cases were're caught on video for the whole world to see If they can and do lie about those sorts of things, imagine what kind of lies they can tell about events that none of us experienced with no videos to go back and check to confirm the record Consider every supposed racist atrocity from decades or centuries ago, every quote unquote innocent minority wrongfully persecuted by racist whites I'm not saying that all of those stories aren't true. I'm saying that you can't assume are true You have to go back with a skeptical eye willing to question even the narratives that are that are most taken for granted, indeed, especially those narratives. So let's go through a couple of examples now. Let's begin that process today And let's start with the killing of a fourteen year old black boy named Emmett Till. Now there's a good chance that you've almost certainly heard of him at till. as the writer, Steve Sayor has pointed out, he's not just a ficture and high school historyook textbooks, he was also center stage during the BOM hysteria of the past few years.Qote, Emmtill who was murdered in nineteen fifty five has been mentioned in four hundred and twenty seven different New York Times articles over just the last ten years. Ematil was mentioned more often in American books in twenty twenty two any previous year So as far as enduring myths go, Emma Till is certainly up there The basic narrative, which you've probably been told in school and by the media is that Till was abducted and lynched by racist white people in Mississippi back in nineteen fifty five. This crime allegedly. was just simply whistling at a pretty white woman in a grocery store Her name was Caron Bryant Donham That was a serious violation of racial codes at the time. so Briant, who was very offended, lied to her family and told them that Emmetil had groped her the story. And in response, Bryant's husband and his half brother hunted the boy down a few days later, abducted him from a cabin, and brutally lynched him. The story was a major catalyst for the civil rightights movement. Many decades later in her seventies, Bryant admitted that she had lied about Emmet Till Black activists. then demanded that prosecutors charge her with a crime and Ultimately, Bryant died before they could get their vengeance That is the official narrative A few years ago, when Bryant passed away, CBS News repeated this version of events verbatim. onn Air watchatch Carln, Brian Donu. The white woman who accused Emmett Till of making advances Twards her has died fourteen year old Emmetill was kidnapped and brutally murdered by Brian's then husband and his half brother in Mississippi in nineteen fifty five over the allegation Two men were acquitted in his killing by an all white jury but later confessed in an interview The case gained national attention after Emmet Till's mother allowed Jet magazine to take and publish photos of her son's mutilated body in an open casket The horrific image shocked the nation and served as the catalyst the Civil rightights movement Years after Till's death, Dunham admitted to fabricating parts of her story, although she was never Ch charged with a crim Now the problem here is that virtually every aspect of what that anchor just said is a fabrication First of all, Emtil was not accused of merely making advances towards Bryan. That's an extremely I guess we would say sanitized and deliberately misleading way to present the story. According to Bryan's testony in court as well as her memoir Emmetil grabbed her hand and said, how about a date, baby? And when she tried to flee, Emmetil followed her to the cash register forcefully grabbed her waist and said, What's the matter, baby? Can't you take it He told her she didn't need to be afraid and explained, quote I've been with white women before Emmetil did not leave the store until one of his friends entered and forcefully removed him. So this was according to her an attempted sexual assault not just in advance Now these facts are Obviously not flattering for Eateil. and for what it's worth behavior would not be out of character for the Till family I think it's worth noting. Emt's father was named Lewis Till, who enlisted in the Army during World War II to avoid going to prison for domestic violence But Louis Till's behavior did not change overseas. He was court martialed for the murder of an Allied civilian during the Italian campaign. as well as the rape of two pregnant Italian women Ultimately was found guilty and hanged, and incidentally he had been incarcerated at the same military prison as The American poet Ezra Pound, who was jailed for treason, Pound even wrote a se about Libis Till saying Till was hung yesterday for murder. and rape with trimmings Now, of course, the fact that Ematil's father was a domestic abuser and a rapist does not by itself demonr that Ematil did anything wrong, You know, if we're just being logical about it, it makes makes it more likely that he would engage in similar conduct and taken together with Bryant's testimony It's obviously context that makes her claim more credible Though still none of us can ever know for sure what really happened in that store that day. I mean, we really don't know for sure. But The major lie but Iil is what happened many years after his death And the claim from the left and the media and activists is that Bryant later recanted her allegations that Emma Till had physically assaulted her. They say that Bryant admitted in her dying years that she made the whole thing up and she feels really bad about it This is a core part of the story, and here's ABC repeating that claim. listen We're coming. Reverend Wheeler Parker says that his Bible tells him to forgive. and he says, that's what he's doing here Taking an overnight train to Mississippi with his wife, trying to make peace. Oh But the murder of his cousin by a clan of racist. Did you dwell on it You come out of it injured. Narly seventy years ago to this day This is where the white woman who worked here claimed that his fourteen year old cousin had grabbed her. put his hands around her waist told her he had slept with white women before All over the Daily papers with quotes from a young Wheeler Parker Calling twenty one year old Carolyn Bryant a pretty lady. Inviews he says he never gave. Briant and her husband Roy own the store In two thousand seven, she told a book writer that she lied And then she died in twenty twenty three Never apologizing to the Black families. What you should notice about all these stories is how definitive they are All the official versions of the Emmil story make the claim that beyond a shadow of a doubt, Bryant admitted she was wrong. Pretty much everyone accepts this version of events to the point that just a couple of years ago, Black activists tried to have the elderly woman thrown in prison. At the time, she was in her eighties and in failing health But they didn't care. they went all the way to a grand jury, which rejected their claims Well, a grand jury in Mississippi today declined to indict the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Emmet Till nearly seventy years ago. Carolyn Bryant Dunham, now eighty eight, initially claimed that Till made unwanted advances towards her at her family's grocery store. It led to the brutal torture and lynching of the fourteen year old The prosecutor said the grand jury found insufficient evidence to charge Dunham. Here ares just a few of the top comments on that video to give you an idea of the public reaction, quote She's definitely going to hell. quote, You gotta be kidding me. Don't worry. God knows what you did. We know what you did. One day you'll receive what you deserve. May God holdet Emet in his hands. Quote, always angers me when the truly evil live to a ripe old age Now those are the least deranged quotes I can find It's all out bloodlust over a dying woman in her eighties And it's all based on a total fabrication. Bryant never recanted her allegation The claim that she recanted was made by a historian named Timothy Tyson. He wrote a book in twenty seventeen called The Blood of Emmett Till, in which she claimed that Briant recanted her claims about Till in two thousand eight many decades after the incident He recorded all this all of his interviews for the book including his interviews with Brian standard practice for historians who are writing a book So youd think you'd be able to support his claims, especially a claim as explosive as that one But it turns out that somehow Tyson's transcripts and audio recordings did not capture this bombshell admission. The FBI opened an investigation into Tyson's claims since it would obviously be relevant to a criminal proceeding, even if the statute of limitations had expired. And they found no support for it whatsoever This is from The Washington Post. The article is from twenty twenty one, quote, The Justice Department has closed the latest federal investigation into the nineteen fifty five lynching of Emmett Till in rural Mississippi Federal authorities reopened the case three years ago after a new book reported that Bryant had denied an interview that Till had made any advances In theory, that could have meant she lied in decades old court proceedings. Justice Department officials said Monday that when the FBI questioned Brian about these allegations about these alleged statements to the book's author, she said she did not make them. and the author's interview tape and transcripts do not show her making such statements. The book said Bryant told Tyson that Till had not come onto her sexually, a disclosure that directly contradicted her testimony six decades earlier, which she told a jury Till grabbed her by the wayays andutered obscendities In a statement, Justice Department said the FBI was unable to confirm Tyson's assertion that Donham had recanted her prior testimony When agents interviewed her, she denied ever recanting and provided no new information. Justice Department statement said. Authorities concluded There was insufficient evidence to prove that she ever told a professor that any part of her testimony was untrue Although the professor represented that he had recorded two interviews with her. he provided the FBI with only one recording, which did not contain any recantation A transcript of Tyson's other interview also did not contain the alleged recantation official said separately, NBCews reported that quote But Donham denied to federal investigator that she lied in her testimony, a source of knowledge of the case said, and there were inconsistencies with statements made by Tyson. So to recap This day, they're lying to us about what the woman alleged Emmetil did to her. They're lying by claiming the woman recanted her claims she didn't. And they're bearying a lot of information about the case, about Emma Till, including the fact that his father was a rapist And with all that in mind, you have to wonder if they're telling truth about any aspect of this particular story. I mean, once they're willing to fabricate important details in order to create a myth, U for the purposes of launching the civil rightights movement, then there's No reason to trust anything they say about Now does that mean that his killing was justified No, obviously not. It was a brutal murder. We know that. There's really no disputing that popular narrative about this case leaves out important details and blatantly lies about others And there's no disputing that. I which makes you wonder about What else about the story they aren't telling us Nothing about the story or any of these kinds of stories can be taken on faith anymore Doesn't mean they're all wrong Any of these kinds of stories you learned in school and you should go back again and check. You cannot assume that any of them are entirely true, and many of them might be entirely wrong And in fact, lynchings in general are one of the most inflammatory aspects of American history Therefore, nobody wants to be honest about them. There's a hysteria about lynchings that led to a federal anti lynching bill just a few years ago, if you remember that U Even though no black person has been lynched in this country at all in living memory White people have certainly been attacked for their skin color, as we saw at the top of the show U But there have been no anti black lynchings at all in many, many decades And you know, there's this idea that if you object to any of the propaganda about lynching, then you must endorse the murder of innocent black people. So that's obviously not true. And all that matters is the truth That's all we're saying about all these stories What actually happened? What is the truth? You're saying some things that aren't true. I want to know what the actual truth is. That's all Now the popular narrative about lynching today is that it was a form of murderous violence inflicted by white people on black people for racial reasons. Now it's true, of course, that those kinds of lynchings have occurred in American history Not in any time recently, which is what made that anti lynching bill so ridiculous, notot to mention the fact that lynching was already very much illegal anyway And yet even Tuskegee University, which is a historically black university, admits that between eighteen eighty two and nineteen sixty eight moreore than this is according to their tally More than twenty seven percent of lynching victims were white. Now, if lynching was a form of racial violence, then why would a significant percentage of the victims be white? The answer is that historically, lynching was a form of mob justice. In the vast majority of cases, The victim, white or black For any race was accused of committing a serious crime Often we can't know exactly how often But they were indeed guilty of committing the crime. The important point is that lynching was not an exclusively racial form of violence Often it had nothing to do with race at all I mean, we can confidently say that most of the twenty seven percent of white victims, assuming that percentage is not an undercount, which is a very massive assumption Uh But we can assume that they were not lynched you know, for racial reasons Does it make sense then to assume that every black victim was lynched for racial reasons course it doesn' In a certain significant percent of cases, they were lynched for the same reason. whites were lynched becausecause they had committed or were accused of committing A crime And lynching was not invented in eighteen eighty two, by the way. It had been used all through the early history of the United States and before that happened during colonial times too. We don't have any data as far as I could find on the racial makeup of the victims in the early nineteenth century and prior to that. But there is good reason to suspect that a large number of them, perhaps even a majority Phaps even a large majority were white This wasn't just mob justice. sometometimes it was. sometometimes mobs of angry townsfolk banded together to kill some alleged wrongdoer And sometimes they would do that even though they had a court system and jails that could have brought the alleged criminal to justice. in a, civilized and constitutional way. Sometimes Lynching was less a case of mob justice and more a case of frontier justice. You know, large swathes of the American territory through much of its early history didn't really have a functioning court system. So there wasn't much you could do with murderers, rapists, and cattle thieves in those cases but execute them quickly. and you know sometimes they would leave their bodies hanging from a tree as a warning to anyone who might think of committing similar crimes. It was brutal and ugly but sometimes brutal and ugly options, were' the only ones available. Maybe you can think of a better way to deal with like a murderer if you're living in a frontier town, and there's no court system and no jail and you've got someone who just murdered someone or as a rapist What are you supposed to do with that person So again, we have a story that is much more complicated than the one told today by the media and the education system Lynchings happened for hundreds of years Huge number of them had nothing to do with race. Some of them were actually justified and necessary. Some of them were not. Some of them were racial killings. someome of them were not. We can't possibly know what the percentages look like. We can't break it down into a pie chart. And so instead, the popular narrative has simplified the pie so that the racial killings are the whole pie And now lynching has become a symbol anti black racism, but historically, the concept of lynching did not have that automatic racial connotation. It's only relatively recently that the noose has become this like racially charged symbol But it should tell you something that Literally every prominent case of a racist noose being left somewhere to intimidate black people, at any point this century has turned out to be a hoax. All of them have been hoaxes And maybe that should tell you something One of the most powerful scenes for my money in the miniis series Lonesome Dove, one of the great pieces of television or film ever made. But one of the most powerful scenes is when Tommy Lee Jones's character. Lynch is a group of thieves and murderers And including one of them who was a former friend All of them We're white. Now, It's fiction, obviously But also a pretty fair reflection of historical reality, a pretty fair reflection of what Lynching looked like and why it was done in many, many cases all throughout American history. importantortly thirty five years ago when the show came out, thirty five, forty years ago, whatever it was Nobody flagged the lynching scene as some kind of historical whitewashing It looked normal to the audience because that's how everyone understood the concept of lynching until I would argue the last like twenty years or so And that's when the propaganda went into overdrive Young men feel directionless, and one of the best answers to that problem is building something real. Start a business, learn a trade, create something new And useful, take ownership over your own life instead of waiting around for permission from some corporation or government agency. The Problem is that actually building a business is hard enough already. and you run into the banking system.

I mean, some of the most flagrant civil rights mythology, involves moving on to another case, the Central Park F, who were supposedly railroaded and falsely accused of brutally beating and raping a white woman in nineteen eighty nine. Netflix recently released a drama about the incident called When they see us And in that drama, here's what one of the black suspects looks like And so he's smiling and he's extremely tiny Your first thought is that, you know, there's no way he could assault an adult woman He looks so small and innocent. And indeed, the whole series is about how the racist white police and prosecutors decided to frame this kid and his friends for a crime they didn't commit. Never mind the fact that in real life, many of the detectives involved in the case were black Um, This, by the way, is what the innocent black boy actually looked like in real life. Here he is So There's a slight disparity there They're not even hiding the propaganda. It's as flagored as it could possibly be They don't care. W There is not one shred of evidence. Imagine the frenzy of these teenagers. ipping off her innocent of these crimes. Guilty S Rot W now come m It don't look like this. What other way they have it do us Stroers They these fo steps. and they comeing closer and closer That's with me coming in pretty well They said if I went along with it, that would go home. and that's all I wanted. The police would do anything. rely on us, it would lock us up, it would kill us This betrayal of the prosecutor was so bad That the prosecutor sued Netflix and won a settlement. It was just totally over the top and false. The story they're pushing, which is the story you'll find everywhere from textbooks to movies, is that the detectives grilled these five teenagers, four bllack and one Hpinic who were between fourteen and sixteen years old for hours on end. They told them to confess and they planted all kinds of information in their heads In the end, the teenagers broke. They implicated themselves in writing and on video all because the racist police officers played a dirty trick on them. All five of them implicated themselves Sveral of them in the presence of their parents, all because the police pressured them to confess. Now, one of the first things you need to do when you're evaluating this narrative is to watch the interrogation footage. It's available online. and here's one of the alleged attackers, a fourteen year old named Raymond Santana and pay attention to his demeanor Okay, listen to how he answers the questions and adds details that weren't asked for And judge for yourself, If you think he's telling the truth Why don't you tell me what happened on the night of april nineteenth m? Well, it will be a bunch of us on six rob bicycleist and dogs. Okay. What were the others doing while Kevin was struggling with her with the wrists? Anton was more for clothes, no pures on arms What was Anton doing to her clothes?. What was she wearing? Were you getting closer You walk toward them. Where did you see Anton joined to her? She putull it more. and Kevil putull it on his pants L has is smackking lady in my face Was she screaming? She was just her night. Hp, help. And you smack. You said that Kevin knocked her to the ground. He tripped her? Yeah. What happened to her when she was on the ground? Lopez came. and he was holding our arms. He pined the arms with his knees. and then he coverred her mouth He ht And Denny seem used to scream so he I smack him. What did he smack her with? He's here Where did he sm? Face in f. Was Where was he in relation to her body? She was lying on the ground. It is. And he was behind her head. Yeah. And he was holding her hands. You said that he was kneeling on her arms? Yeah. on arm. And what was he doing with his hands? He was covering her m. Ey times she was to you smackking he said set a bitch kept smacking. How many times did he smack her? I think twice tim. And did she keep screaming M you just kiss smacking. Did somebody stuff something in her mouth? No, pick up the brick and you hit her with the brak twice. Where did he hit her with the brick? A her face around here or somewhere up here After I hit her in the head with the brereath, did she stop screaming? Yeah, she was like shock When you say she's shacked, what did you see? She just did this, didnt do that. Did she stop moving? She just did it. What was Kevin doing while Steve Lopez was holding her hands and hitting her with the brin? He was having sex with her. What did you see him doing? see on top of her? You have to answer out loud and say yes or no. Yes. And did you see whether his pants were on? No You take them all the way off or just take them down or just d down. How far down did he pull them? Ab a little passasting knes. And did he say anything while he was on top of her? No he was hosexual When this woman was first grabbed, you said you first saw her, Kevin Richardson was holding her wrists. Was he saying anything to her He was just just trying to put I he him saying that. I just seen him struggling When she got knocked down, and you said that Steve Lopez hit her in the head with the brick. Was she bleeding I said here. Was she bleeding a lot? No, No Now the video goes on for a long time. hisis demeanor doesn't change. He tells a consistent story, that he participated in the attack but his conscience eventually led him to leave the scene as the sexual assault begingan. It provides a lot of detail, many of them are unprompted kind of details that he only know if he was involved in the attack Anyone looking at this video would have every reason to believe he's telling the truth And on top of this confession, the police had physical evidence. At trial, the jury heard that, quote, hair consistent with the female jogger's hair, was found on the clothing of Richardson and coodefendant Stephen Lopez Blood stains were found on Santana's right sneaker, Salam's jacket and on cood deffendant Lopez's underwear, and semen stains were found on the underwear of McCre and Richardson and on Santa's sweatshirt Now none of this evidence has ever been refuted, and you're also supposed to ignore the fact that The defendants were convicted of crimes that related to other attacks that same evening which had nothing to do with the jogger If you ask the left, they'll tell you that it's obvious all these confessions were coerced and planted because the teenagers contradicted themselves on important issues. Of course, if the confessions were planted, then you would expect that they would be consistent Not inconsistent The truth is that the confessions were consistent on all important matters. It's why they help in court The defense lawyers in every single case tried to discredit the confessions in front of the jury by pointing out inconsistencies. and in every single case, the jury rejected those claims because they recognized that the inconsistencies were not material This is a quote from Armstrong repeport, which was prepared by The Armstr report prepared by a former prosecutor named Michael Armstrong in two thousand three,Qote, We believe the inconsistencies contained in the various statements were not such as to destroy their reliability. All of the defendants were obviously attempting to minimize their own involvement And the stories they told necessarily included fabrications. On the other hand, they were a general consistency that ran through the defendant's descriptions of the attack on the female jogger. She was jogging, she was knocked down on the road, dragged into the woods, hit and molested by several assailants and sexually abused by some, while others held her arms and legs and left semi conscious in a state of undress after an assault that covered a relatively short period of time. This general description was common to all or most of the defendant's statements despite some differences in specifics The report concluded that the consonsistencies found in the defendant's statements The informal remarks made by the defendants at various times and the corroborative testimony of other witnesses make it more likely than not that the defendants participated in an attack upon the jogger. So why did all five of these teenagers go free In two thousand two, a serial rapist named Matias Reas. confessed to attacking the jogger. He said he was the only one involved, even though there was no evidence to corroborate that claim. and his DNA was a match for the crime scene None of the central Park five were connected to the case by DNA This was triggered as a major revelation by the news media But it wasn't remarkable information at all. The authorities always understood because of the unknown DNA that there was at least one outstanding suspect This all came up at trial The police had no reason to believe that any of the teenagers would have left DNA on the scene, at least not the kind of DNA they were looking for at the time. So the identification of a new suspect and a DNA link really did nothing from a practical perspective to exonerate the essentral Park five, but Everyone acted otherwise. The DNA in Manhattan, Robert Morganhal petition for the conictions to be vacated, a judge agreed And that was it. There wasn't even a hearing Now hearing this, leftist will say, but but sayus Reyes confessed and he specifically said he was the only one involved And that's true we did confess, but it's also a very ironic claim for these people to be making Because in one breath when it comes to the central Park five. They claim the confessions are irrelevant and fake and coerced and in the next breath, when they're talking about Reyes They'll say that we should treat this confession as gospel He said he acted alone, therefore he acted alone. case closed And never mind the fact that prosecutors barred detectives from interviewing Reyes and his associates. Never mind the fact that Reyes, who was serving a life sentence, had a motive to lie. He wanted a favorable prison transfer, which he received. Additionally He was receiving threats through the prison's underground communication system, saying he'd be harmed if he didn't come forward Now remind the fact that New York City criminal court judge Thomas Galligan was quoted as saying, If Reyes is a credible witness, then credibility has a new meaning And most importantly, you're supposed to ignore the fact that an acquaintance of Reyes said that Reyes claimed in a private conversation that he joined in on the attack after it was already in progress. So there were independent witnesses who came forward to say that Reyus was lying to the DA We're supposed to ignore that as well. So the idea that the Eentral Park F were exonerated, put simply is total propaganda But it worked. and understand how it worked. You understand just how brazenly black activists were lying about the crime from the moment it happened This is from the Washington Post in august nineteen ninety, quote Well many New Yorkers waited an uneasy silence last week for a verdict in the racially charged Central Park jogger rape case Bill Tatum. wondered aloud why anyone thought there had been a rape at all There's just no evidence of a rape. None, said Tatum fifty six, the portly stylish editor and publisher of the Amsterdam News, the city's oldest and most influential black newspaper Something bad happened that night, but they certainly can't say it's rape Other newspapers report on our community, Mayor David N Dinkin said The Amsterram News is based in it Therefore, in many instances, it is able to provide its readers with a more accurate view of the African American experience The Amsterdam, as it is frequently called, carries weight not just as a newspaper, but also as one of the city's most prominent black run enterprises C closed world. So it' Very similar to the brazen propaganda we see today, they simply deny basic observable facts and they get away with it They become heroes to the Black community One of the Central Park fiveive, a man named Yusuf Salam is now a New York City councilman Several of them work for the Innocence proroject specializes in freeing criminals Many of them are guilty technicalities It's actually one of the worst organizations in the entire country. in terms of the damage that it does. to communities by releasing these people They use false narratives to spring Dangerous criminals on society And every time there's a story about innocent projects having having some success and getting a criminal out Everyone just assumes based on the name of the organization that, oh, they proved this person was innocent Uh, no Very often they get these people out on tech very often it's someone who's clearly guilty. some kind of technical thing happened. And so on a technicality, they spring this guilty person from prison. This is what this organization does. I started the realal History series because false historical narratives are fundamental to the left's power in this country Their mythology is cental to everything they do. They come up with extremely obvious lies, but they sell them with total sincerity And it works. To this day, as we've discussed, millions of people think John Brown was a brave anti slavery crusader They don't know or care that he slaughtered innocent people. Innocent white people and an innocent black man It had nothing to do with slavery Data brokers collect enormous amounts of information about you every single day.

Along the same les leftists are transfixed by something they call the Tulsa race massacre. A few years ago, a show on HBO called The Watchman popularize this myth on the left They depicted a genocidal and unprovoked attack by white people. watchatch They don't provide any context whatsoever. They claim that white people just started executing black people solely because they were black. and every single comist is treating this footage like it's found footage from the nineteen twenties They acting like it's an authentic historical document comment reads, The fact that this atrocity wasn't taught in schools is a travesty in itself And every other comment is like that evenven though by the way it is taught in school It should be obvious that people shouldn't get their history from an HBO show That's exactly what happened. Here's a socialedia post with seven hundred thousand likes, for example, quote. I remember when Watchman aired and it showed the Tulsa massacre. I had no clue it even happened terrifying knowing this evil happened in recent history and the people involved tried to hide it. HBL obviously didn't invent this narrative either. The so called Tulsa race massacre has been aixture of leftist propaganda for a very long time And again, it is in the schools. they do teach it in schools There's a lot missing from the narrative Okay, so I'll explain Dick Rowland was a nineteen year old sho shiner in Tulsa. Rowland, taking a break from his job went into a nearby building where he sexually assaulted a seventeen year old white girl named Sarah Page who was working as an elevator operator. According to local news reports at the time, Rowl grabbed ar, scratched herour clothes and tried to assault her. The woman shrieked and Ralan only abandoned the attack when someone else came over to a sister. Round denied that He attacked the woman and claimed that he just fell on top of her somehow At the Blaze, John Doyle described what happened next, watch. So tensions explode in Jim Crowbe Tulsa and words starts spreading all around that there may be a lynching. And ironically, the only reason that people believe that there might be a lynching was because a year prior, a white man named Roy Belton was lynched after being suspected of murder. So a bunch of angry white people show up outside the courthouse, but they were kept at bay by the sheriff and his six armed men. And the most chaotic it got was when a bunch of white people, like three of them walked inside the courthouse and said, Hey, hand him over. The sheriff was like, no And then they just left. So now seeing this angry mob of white people, a bunch of black people decide to go arm themselves to confront this mob to protect Dick Rolland, even though again, the sheriff pretty much has it all under control. So a bunch of them arm themselves with rifles and shotguns and march to go confront this mob outside of the courthouse. So then the white people are like, whyy are they armed? We should probably be armed. then they go get armed. And this standoff ends up turning pretty deadly with black people actually attacking first opening fire on whites after they claim a white guy tried to disarm one of the armed black guys in front of a bunch of other armed black guys. I don't know if I buy that, but the result was twelve people dead, ten of whom were white and two were black So total chaos erupts, riots, shootings, fires, over twenty four hours, greenwood burns, up to three hundred people die, most of whom are black, and thousands become homeless. But that did start because of black aggression, right? It wasasn't just like random white rape So to recap, after this black guy was arrested for attempted rape, a lot of people, including white people and black people, showed up at the jail. Black militia was worried that the suspect suspected rapist would get lyched just like a white guy had been lynched recently at the time this happened. But they didn't remain peaceful for very long. The bllack militia brought their weapons and opened fire. they killed several white people. and then the white people got their guns. retaliated against the people who had attacked them. Now there's a reason that all this context is stripped out of the official narrative. It completely undercuts everything they're saying They know that if the narrative was, well Black people opened fire for no reason, but then the white people overreacted in response. Well, then the whole event would lose much of the anti white narrative power that it currently has And this is the trend you begin to see. The propagandists take some event in history That did happen in many cases, they strip it down to the studs Clear away all the stuff that makes the event more complicated or that in any way implicates the narrative's protagonists And then they retell the story with those details removed and some fabricated details mixed in It's a very clever and effective strategy. It's extremely difficult decades or centuries later, sometimes to separate fact from fiction when they're interwoven in this way. And if you're lying about a thing that actually happened, it actually was bad thenen the propagandist can always say as a last resort, hey, maybe you're right that some facts were left out, but why are you so focused on that? What does it matter to you Are you saying that this bad thing was actually good What are you really up to here? This is what many commentators did a few weeks ago when I tried to correct the record on Rosa Parks on the Rosa Park story. Many details are left out of that story, as we discussed. My attempt to simply give the full story was met with accusations that although what I'm saying is true, I must really be trying to justify the segregation of black people on buses Right? That was the ridiculous claim We could do the same thing with someone like Harriet Tubman. Her story is shrouded in mythology. Many of the supposed facts about Tubman and the underground railroad are fabricated or invented out of whole cloth. But she was a real person She did help free some slaves, so extracting the real facts from the mythology is difficult An attempt to do so again, will be met with people not so much refuting your point but rather impuing your motives in raising the point in the first place. This is how the game is played. And they play this game with the incident in Tulsa by just omitting the whole part of the black mob opening fire because it's cleaner that way The HBO show literally begins in the violence of in the middle of violence without any context And they make it seem like white people were the only ones doing the shooting. and millions of people buy the story without any hesitation They fabricate history in order to make white people look like genocidal maniacs and black people, the perpetual victims It's a never ending story And it's one we're all familiar with Now if you read the official narratives carefully, you'll find that they try to paper over the storyline a bit hereere's the Washington Post, for example, quote Black World War I veterans who wanted to protect Raowlin from being lynched rushed to the courthouse to defend him A shot was fired and all hell broke loose. A massacre survivor recalled later So as you gu said, a shot was fired. I made this point when I did my takeakedown of the of that atrocious Ken Burns documentary in the American Revolution. You always have to pay close attention whenever you hear the passive voice When you hear a shot was fired, you should ask, well, and fired it Along the same lines when you hear slaves were sent to America, you should ask, well, who sent them? Whenever they want to hide the truth, they bring out the passive voice It was a very common thing. And the reason I went into particular detail on these myths is that they persist to this day There are plenty of other myths like the Tawana Brawley case Michael Brown, hands up donon' shoot lie Brianna, Taylor nonsense, et cca manyany others that we could add to the list, but If you're paying the slightest bit of attention, then you already know that those narratives are false. By contrast, the historical myths that I just mentioned and many more that we could mention are still to this day pushed. by our schools and by the corporate press We should use the conviction of Carmelo Anthony and the flood of lies that surrounded this case as an opportunity to remind ourselves, Much of our history as it's communicated to us in the modern school system is simply fake. The lies are brazen because brazen lies told with confidence. are the most effective I the same people will tell you that Camelo Anthony was a victim are the same people who are Lying to you about the Civil Rs movement. and the extensive damage that it's done our country. We just released a two part documentary on the topic on the Daily Wire. C couldould have been five hundred parts, really? After enduring the Carmelo Anthony trial and all the lies we've been told, it's now abundantly clear that these people are never going stop lying All we can do in response is to read as many primary sources as possible, tune out this sta and its intimidation. U cororrect the record fearlessly E if they yell at you for doing it Uh They lie about our past So they can repeat the same tactics over and over again It's the only move they have And our as Carmelo Anthony Rots in prison like he deserves whileile Rick Chao and Daniel Penny and Kyle Riddenhouse go free, as they deserve They must be realizing that their one move nameamely lying about everything. is finally losing its effectiveness truth is winning All we have to do, which I'm going to devot the rest of my career to doing is to continue telling the truth about our history And the more they howl, The more they threaten us, the more they attack us The more we know They're losing whatever power they once had They are afraid and desperate And especially after this week, It's never been more obvious We will defeat them That will do it for the show this week Have a great weekend Talk to you on Monday Last month, we judged Martin Luther King Junror, not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his carter. American school kids spend a lot of time hearing about MLK and Rosa Parks. Have you noticed no one ever asks what Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery are like today The legacy of the civil rights movement wasn't a racially harmonious utopia Hollowed out urban coreps, hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, raped grandmothers, ethnic cleansing, entire neighborhoods. This month, we survey firsthand accounts of the historic wave of nonviolent crime, riots unminished on this country by the civil rightights movevement, which caused more enduring damage on America's greatest cities than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Who were the winners? And who are the losers? What's the truth about Redline, whight, flight, affirmative action? Don't wantan to miss the second part of our special on the civil rightights Mment, The loooting of America Thelyire plus
