In the past year, many people in the West have become convinced that it is impossible to oppose racism without being affiliated with American extremist group ‘Black Lives Matter’. Despite the fact that the Marxists have declared that one of their stated goals is to destroy the nuclear family, or perhaps because of it, many media outlets, sporting organisations and corporate entities have put forth the idea that a refusal to engage with the group was an embrace of racism itself.
Now, the controversial group has posted a rambling deranged message with seems to blame the United States government’s embargoes for anti Communist protests gripping the island.
According to the crazed statement, ‘the people of Cuba are being punished by the US government’. Yes you read that right, not by their own Communist government which is unleashing military and armed police onto the streets to brutally beat its own people, instead the USA are to blame because they won’t trade with the Cubans.
The BLM statement is a ringing endorsement of these tactics, choosing to see the protestors as pawns of the United States rather than people sick of living under a Communist regime.
It makes no mention of the viciousness of the beatings there, of the mass arrests nor of the priest who was dragged through the streets and beaten for praying in public this week.
This is what football fans were told to take the knee for during Euro 2020, not anti racism. They were taking the knee in order to increase the international standing of a group that supports totalitarianism and violence against citizens. BLM is the product not of Africa, not of the developing world, but of the richest country in the world.
There is a notable anti Catholic element to BLM also, one of their prominent Protestant Pastor members led calls for attacks on Catholic churches last year, which led to several arson attacks and statue destructions also.
Do not forget, Our Lady of Fatima’s warning about Communism didn’t become irrelevant when the Berlin Wall fell. Much of the world’s population now lives under nominal or full Communism.
