At the height of the Black Lives Matter race riots by supporters of the racist hate movement, cities frantically threw up BLM murals the way Germany had once put up swastikas and Hitler posters. All Lives Matter, the universal idea of the acknowledgement of the value of all human life, in defiance of the BLM racial supremacist ethos, however was treated as a hate crime. A legal reckoning is slowly arriving for the constitutional twilight in which we spent 2020.
The City of Bloomington blocked the request of a conservative group to paint an “All Lives Matter” street mural in February. Last Friday, an Indianapolis judge ruled that by doing so the city likely violated the group’s First Amendment rights.
In 2020 and 2021, the Bloomington Board of Public Works approved requests to display three Black Lives Matter street murals around town. In July 2021, the right-wing student group Turning Point USA requested approval for an All Lives Matter mural of equal visibility on Eagleson Ave.
In her preliminary injunction, Judge Sarah Evans Barker of Indiana’s Southern District concluded that by not allowing Turning Point USA to engage in the application process, the city “engaged in impermissible viewpoint discrimination.”
This sort of thing dates back to an era where disagreeing with Black Lives Matter was considered a hate crime and a fireable offense. Kudos to TPUSA for initiating and pursuing a lawsuit which, at the late date of 2022, demands the right to assert the value of all human life.

It is clear that some people are upset by the proposition that all lives matter. Pretending that such a proposition somehow negates the proposition that black lives matter is simply not defensible. This is dangerous rhetoric because it sets up the proposition that all lives don’t matter. It is akin to the kind of language that was used to eliminate the Jews of Europe and the Kulaks of Eastern Europe, It is up to people to challenge this and make people admit they don’t think all lives matter and have them wear that stigma.

“the right-wing student group Turning Point USA ”
The term right wing is instantly classified as dangerous. Increasingly the words ‘on the right’ have the same connotation. This used to be ‘far right’ not anymore.

So all lives matter… except….Sounds rather familiar in history.
black LIES matter is a scam, and has been shown to be so.

Virtually every facet of society — public and private — is completely wedded to the WEF’s ESG nonsense; viz., kowtowing to the NWO elitist plan for de-population, income redistribution, wealth confiscation and the abolition of all religion. Yet, throughout the NWO movement, there is a constant thread of virtue signaling that is manifested by conspicuously showcasing the ‘nobility’ and ‘superiority’ of Blacks.
Nowhere is this more evident than in TV and billboard advertisements and pop-culture. Blacks OWN our language too. Just listen to radio and TV, or listen to any group of teens conversing amongst themselves — regardless of race or ethnicity — but especially among white suburban kids who desperately ape the hip-hop and thug culture.
If a spaceship of Martians landed on Earth and spent even a few hours observing our culture — especially television — they could be forgiven if they concluded that America’s population was 80% Black.

Human life has value because only humans can worship the spiritual. No animal can do that. Not a criticism of animals, but they are chained to their requirements in a way that humans aren’t. Like the birds, wonderful creatures, but their high metabolism forces them to be foraging all day long.
Jeff Bargholz says
We have language. We’re creators. We explore and want to understand the universe around us. we strive and seek. We’re superior. Animals live at our sufferance. How could an animal ever know God or something higher? How could an animal do math or understand the environment it lives in?
I like animals, though. And even though I mock birds by imitating their calls, I like them. Some birds like blue jays and crows don’t fall for it but song birds and cardinals always do. And you should hear when I play a recording of a Cooper’s hawk or sharp shinned hawk in a back yard. All the song birds go silent and when the recording is over they chatter like mad. It’s funny.
That site has recorded bird calls. You can use them to signal birds around you.

That site has some good stuff, too.

That’ the site I meant to paste.

My comment is awaiting moderation? That one? About a bird watching website? It’s obvious that key words aren’t the only thing that set off the censorship of comments. My name obviously does so.
You’ve been a bit disingenuous, Greenfield.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yep. All my comments await moderation.
That’s weak as fuck.

Sir:
I’m not sure how many times we have to explain this to you—but there are indeed certain keywords that are resulting in your recent comments ending up in the queue.
In this instance, your posting of URLs is the culprit. Spammers regularly flood the comments section with links to third-party sites where you can “make money from home,” etc., and therefore comments containing URLs require manual approval.
However, given that all of your comments have continually been manually approved, your claim of “censorship” is rather laughable.

On a further upnote, I’ve seen four ALM stickers on cars in my town, all on vehicles of black males from their 20s to 40s. All but one on older models of nice cars, well kept. There are a lot of people of all races that want to be judged by the content of their character, their abilities, and their knowledge.

We need more lawsuits and decisions of this nature that will challenge the American Marxism of BLM

Unfortunately, “lawfare” is a tactic used by the left to prevent pushback on its policies. The tactic goes like this: a school or employer enacts affirmative discrimination policies with regard to admission or hiring. Disgruntled applicants bring a suit. The Court says the policy is an illegal quota that is a violation of equal protection. So the company or school drafts a new policy that says, “this is not a quota” and continues to discriminate. The Court says that this doesn’t do it but the school or employer can consider “diversity” as being good. And so on as no court opinion will simply say you cannot racially discriminate but, instead, always leaves some loophole to be exploited requiring victims to take exact any every case to the Supreme Court. This has been going on for half a century, is hideously expensive for aggrieved parties, and eventually grinds opponents of affirmative discrimination down to a nub. I don’t think this term’s Harvard will change this dynamic.

Time for the Bloomington Mayor and City Council to remember their oath to Uphold, Protect & Defend the U.S. Constitution and quit playing favors to the Antifa/BLM Bolsheviks

We are being conditioned to Doublethink. Unfortunately, about 1/3, or more, of a population does not need to be manipulated into it.
