Patrick J. McShay, Are NBA Players Useful Idiots For The Marxist, Anti-American “Black Lives Matter” Hate Group?

Patrick J. McShay

“If you vote Democrat in November, you’re voting for & violence, nihilism, and hate.”
*Denise McCallister- Bestselling Co-Author of “Spygate”

“The number one cause of death of young Black men 15 to 34 — is murder. Who’s committing the murder? Not police. Other black men!”
*Juan Williams – Journalist

Max Kellerman told Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s top-rated show, “First Take” Friday that “the face of White Supremacy is feeling emboldened by the politics of the last 4 years”. Yet another racist shot at Trump and his supporters, despite the fact that every black person who has known Trump over the last 40 years says he is not, nor has he ever been a racist.

Former NFL star Hershel Walker spoke at the Republican National Convention this week and talked about his 36-year friendship with The president. He said he is offended that anyone would think that he would be friends with a racist! He said Trump is no racist and there is no evidence that he is. Maybe First Take should have him on!

NBA players have jumped on the “Black Lives Matter” bandwagon but what do they really know about the group? Do they know that BLM is for open borders, destruction of the family, pro LGBT, anti-police, anti-America, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and racist to the core. Like Hitler’s Nazi Brownshirts, BLM uses violence and intimidation to stoke racial division and destroy economies, randomly attacking local businesses, including Black-owned businesses, blocking traffic and pulling the occupants from their cars and beating them. Another tactic is going into restaurants and randomly screaming at White people while the new anti-White and anti-police curriculum is being introduced in schools.

Lebron James is as ignorant about BLM as he is about China. The Billionaires funding BLM doesn’t care about Black people, they are using Black people just like they are using these athletes to fundamentally change our country. We are in a struggle to save our country!

A recent study from Marquette University shows support for BLM is already on the downswing, and 78% of those polled are opposed to defunding police departments.

What should disgust everyone in this country is the way the mainstream media lies and misinforms the public about everything important and is censoring online content that doesn’t support those lies. A few other things ESPN’s Max Kellerman and Stephen A. Smith, as well as the public should be talking about is:

*There is a video of Jacob Blake fighting 3 cops before he bolted around the vehicle, defying orders to stop and not open the door of the vehicle. When he was shot Blake had a knife in his left hand which wasn’t reported by the media. Another thing not mentioned is Mr. Blake’s 40 previous arrests for violent offenses, threatening people with a handgun, an outstanding warrant for a sexual assault and he was in violation of an existing “Protective Order” at the time he was shot.

At the time Blake was shot he was being detained for the outstanding warrant and the protective order violation. He resisted arrest, fought the cops, and refused commands by the cops. anyone, no matter what color you are, should know if you’re detained by the police you’d better do as you’re told. That’s not the consensus among the sports pundits on ESPN and Fox Sports, however. It doesn’t seem to matter to them that this guy was a violent thug, they just don’t care. The agenda is more important than the character of the martyrs.

*A Must- Watch Video of an attempt to arrest a DUI suspect by Pennsylvania State Troopers with tragic results. How would Max, Stephen A., or Fox Sports hosts of “Undisputed” Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless have handled this guy?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZkxLQ6zlk

*When cops arrived on the scene they knew about the”Protective Order” as well as Blake’s violent criminal past. Why hasn’t the media mentioned this vital information? How Can anyone make an intelligent and convincing assessment of right or wrong in this case without all of the evidence?

How were Max Kellerman and Stephen A Smith able to make up their minds so quickly? Did they have this information? Why are they perpetuating the lies of the official narrative? They are still reporting the lie that George Floyd died from strangulation as a result of the knee on his neck, however, the Coroner’s report showed that there was no strangulation or traumatic asphyxia and that he died of an overdose of Fentanyl. Professor and author Michael Eric Dyson joined Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe on Fox Sports “Undisputed” 3 days ago and was still lying about Floyds cause of death.

*Since twice as many White people are killed by police in The US every year, why don’t we see those videos? Is there systemic racism in America or systemic censorship of stories and videos showing cops shooting White people?

I wonder if Max, Stephen A., Skip or Shannon know that a Black person in America is 10 times more likely to attack a White person than the other way around? Isn’t that racist? Why don’t we hear about the unarmed White people killed by police every year? There is clearly a conscious effort on the part of the media to keep these stories from the public.

One such recent story is the shooting death of Hannah Fizer, 25, murdered by a cop June 13th, 2020 in Sedalia Missouri, just one day after the shooting death of prison parolee Rashard Brooks in Atlanta. Hannah by all accounts was a shy young White woman with no record of arrest, who was on her way to her job as an assistant manager at Tiger Eagle Stop Convenience Store when she was pulled over by an as-yet-unnamed Pettis County deputy for speeding. During the course of the stop the deputy shot and killed Hannah claiming she threatened to shoot the deputy. Jacob Crosse with ICIF wrote:

“According to a terse statement issued by Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) Sergeant Andy Bell Sunday, Fizer was pulled over for allegedly speeding and “imprudent” driving while on her way to work for her10 p.m. shift. After she was pulled over er by the unnamed deputy, the MSHP claims that Fizer became “non- compliant” and “ threatened the deputy by stating she was armed and was going to shoot him. The incident allegedly escalated to the point that the unnamed officer had to “discharge” his weapon.” killing Fizer.”

Several hundred of Hannah’s friends, family members, co-workers and members of the community gathered in front of the Pettis County Sheriff’s office to demand answers and questioned why that level of force was used against an unarmed woman,but no answers were forthcoming. The Pettis County Sheriff did admit that the department had bought body cameras 3 years ago but they had encountered technical difficulties and had not yet put them into use. A typical excuse.

Hmm…they weren’t wearing body cam’s in the Kenosha shooting either. Sadly, we get nothing but excuses from these police departments whose officers should all be wearing body cameras at all times. Most notable was there were no reporters from ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBS or ABC at the rally, nor was Al Sharpton there, interested in why this young unarmed White woman was shot 5 times at close range. Hannah’s mother said she didn’t own a gun and no gun was found at the scene.

How are the deaths of violent felons like George Floyd, Rashard Brooks, and Jacob Blake, more important or relevant than the murder of Hannah Fizer? All three were resisting arrest and in the  case of Brooks and Blake, were fighting with officers trying to handcuff them. Brooks had just been released from prison early because of COVID-19 where he had been sentenced to 7 years for abusing his own children, and George Floyd was a violent criminal who, during a home invasion, struck and threatened to kill a young pregnant woman.

*What are liberals at ESPN and Fox Sports saying by holding these violent thugs up as heroes? Are they saying that there should be no consequences for violently resisting arrest?

I wrote 3 years ago in “NFL Players Are Strangling The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg” “While Black people make up just 12.5% of the population, statistics show they are involved in much of the reported crime. The Wall Street Journal reported that a 2009 crime study showed Blacks were charged with 62% of all robberies, 57% of murders and 45% of assaults in the 75 largest counties in America. This may account for the higher rate of police interaction.”

Every year there are twice as many Hannah Fizers than George Floyds in America. Listening to the rhetoric coming from the mainstream media frantic about a disproportionate number of Blacks being killed by the police every year, it’s no wonder people are upset, but that narrative is nowhere near the truth. Not even close. As of June 30th, 2020 the American police have killed 558 people, of them 111 were Black. Doesn’t this stat alone debunk the accusations of systemic racism?

From lawenforcementtoday.com:

Is Police Brutality Out Of Control?

2018 police shooting statistics:

*US Population – 328 million

*Number of full-time Cops – 670,000

*Percentage of the population interacting with police- 17%

*Number of police contacts with the public – over 55.5 million

*Of the 998 total Police Deadly Use of Force, here is the breakdown by Race:

White –456 (45.69%)
Black –229 (22.95%)
Hispanic –165 (16.5%)
Other –41 (4.1%)
Unknown –107 (10.72%)

Had Hannah been Black, she would be a household name in America, and she should be! Sadly, that won’t happen because there is an agenda to create tension among the races and demonize White cops. An agenda that I believe was meant to be used by the racists on the left like Max Kellerman Max Kellerman to unfairly attack President Trump and his supporters as racists with disinformation and lies. If the media only covers Black deaths by cop, it is going to appear that they are being disproportionately targeted. Fortunately, that is not the case. Propaganda is being used to divide us and push this false narrative, that’s the story the pundits should be reporting!

Hannah’s story and others like hers don’t promote the mendacious “Black Lives Matter” and mainstream media narrative that Blacks are being targeted. Nor do other White murders at the hands of aggressive cops with itchy trigger fingers. If the public finds out that Blacks aren’t being unfairly targeted this whole movement loses all credibility and legitimacy. Since far more White citizens are killed by police than Blacks it should be obvious that this is not a Black issue, it is a policing issue.

I’ve written that police unions are the biggest obstacle to getting rid of the bad cops with a history of violence or racism on the job and that there should be a national registry that keeps records of every offense and complaints. This would prevent these thuggish and racist cops from getting a job in another city or state.

I wrote 3 years ago that, “the American police are trigger happy and began killing all of us in much higher numbers since George W. Bush mandated that the American police be trained by the Israeli’s after 911.”

The knee on George Floyd’s neck and the cop emptying his gun into the back of Jacob Blake are techniques taught them by Israeli instructors.

Our controllers create these false narratives causing tension and conflict that didn’t previously exist, and the COVID-19 hoax is a good example. People are getting into fights over facemasks! Businesses are being bankrupted by the states, especially Democrat-run states that have been much slower to reopen, and have continued ineffective and dangerous mandates on wearing masks. More people are being harassed by police for not wearing a mask or properly social distancing than for violently protesting in Democrat-run cities.

We are still being tested for a virus that has yet to be isolated, how can they possibly have a vaccine? Athletic events and entire seasons are being postponed or canceled because of test kits that have an 85% failure rate and were not designed to identify viruses. Why are they so intent on testing everyone? Maybe because this was always about harvesting our DNA. Anyone with a pea size brain can see that these COVID numbers are intentionally inflated and this Plandemic is a scam with numerous agenda’s including crashing Trump’s economy and driving independent stores and restaurants out of business!

This Marxist cancel culture crowd wants to ban books, censor truth, destroy history and break up the traditional “nuclear family.” “Black Lives Matter” is no grassroots movement, it is a hardcore, violent, hate group that has powerful benefactors and tens of millions of dollars in the bank thanks to George Soros and dozens of corporate sponsors. At a time when many people see professional sports circling the drain, NBA players are being used as useful idiots by a racist, anti-Amerian and anti-Christian hate group that cares not for Black lives but for power and violent change that in the end will benefit none of us.

  1. There’s only one appropriate answer to this question. Yes, and it’s not just the NBA.

    At this point, every self-respecting White ought to abandon any remaining interest in spectator ‘sportsball’. This includes college sports, where in the service of big capital (e.g. TV money), university admissions standards were corrupted decades ago to admit ghetto Blacks on sports scholarships, guys who really don’t belong anywhere near a university campus.

    And like many other areas of American life, professional sports owners are disproportionately Jewish — e.g. as of a few years ago, half of principal owners in the NBA were Jewish, whereas Jews are only approx 2% of the US population (but perhaps 1/3 of US billionaires; these days, practically speaking you must be a billionaire to own an NBA team).

  2. The typical black professional athlete is a narcissistic, shallow, vain hypocrite. They are pawns for the Communist Bolshevik 2.0 attack on the United States masterminded by subhuman talmudic traitor George Soros. They are highly trained circus beasts paid millions of dollars to entertain. They should be on their knees thanking their deity that they have been so blessed to become rich beyond measure for playing a child’s game. They should be actively patriotic to protect their fragile opportunity. They are fools. They are tools.

    1. That is the absolute truth. I gave up sports when the Dodgers left Ebbets Field…that’ll tell you my age. I knew right there what had happened to all sports. Money rules. There was nothing like a Dodger fan. We called them the Brooklyn Bums. If asked, i swear we would have built a new stadium ourselves. And where did they go…to the CA hell hole. These punks do not deserve the money they make. It’s way, way out of proportion. Makes you think of the CEO’s of these large corps who suck the life out of the “lowly’ workers. No wonder I have always been self employed.

    2. If anything it’s even worse in the UK, where the BBC drones on and on about “racism” in sports, even though when you watch e.g. Premiere League soccer matches, literally a dozen black millionaire players are running around down there on the field, many of them making £50k/week and more (some much more).

      It’s absurd and insulting.

  3. The Democrats have employed every aspect of society from entertainment to universities to sports in their quest to oust Trump. Eight years of Reagan, either years of Bush and these predominately black (and Democrat leaning) sports teams did not boycott the White House when they won championships. Nor did they criticize anything about theses administrations – and there was much to criticize. So why now are they engaging in not valid criticism but grade school verbal b.s. against Trump? Ring leaders like LeBum James, Step n Fetchit Curry, etc are paid by Soros/DNC to foment rancor; the other players either 1) are gullible sheep like the rest of the public or 2) go along with get along.

    1. You are correct. And Trump refuses to remove Fauci and Birx from the CONronavirus panel. I am losing patience with his backsliding. You are either going to lead or get out of the way. Trump knows Wikileaks revelations helped him win. And this is how he repays Assange? By now, Trump surely smells a rat in this virus b.s. especially after the White Coat Summit. Why hasn’t he called a press conference and had these doctors there to educate public with truth about this virus and viruses in general along with their success using HCQ? Dr. Richard Bartlett has successfully used budesonide, a drug used for asthma, on his COVID patients. He sent Trump a white paper about this. Dr. Bartlett needs to be included in this conference. HCQ is not for everyone so any doctors using other successful protocols should be added to the panel. After the doctors speak, Trump needs to announce “America is open for business – full steam ahead – no masks, gloves, or social distancing required. All federal agencies will resume business without virus restrictions. I strongly encourage state govts and private businesses to do the same. Anyone who wants to wear a mask can do so but it will not be required. I am revamping the Coronavirus Task Force. Dr. Fauci and Birx will be replaced with the doctors from the White Coat Summit. I will sign an executive order making HCQ, budesonide, and high dose vitamin C available to any doctor who requests it. The doctors on the revamped Coronavirus panel will be available 7 days a week to provide assistance to any physician with questions on administering therapeutic protocols.” The more Trump allows this virus farce to continue, the more it makes me think he is in on the hoax.

    2. RS….Maybe I missed it, but I see no mention of Trump refusing Assange a pardon in that article. And, since as far as I know, Assange has not been indicted and tried in the US, HOW could Trump issue a pardon?

      moderated
      1. Good idea!

        Let’s just pretend the plight of Julian Assange is completely disconnected from the USG and Donald Trump.

      2. And while we’re at it, let’s pretend the New World Order isn’t disproportionately Jewish, and the US medical industry doesn’t profit from Covid-19.

      3. I am sorry to say, RS, your replies have little if nothing to do with the topic at hand. And that topic at hand is that the article has nothing to do with Trump not pardoning Assange. I call that distraction. No offense intended.

      4. Distracted? I thought (wrongly, according to Mr. Will and apparently Dr. Fetzer as well) that readers might be interested in a comment (off topic) containing a print article dated 2020 September 03 which describes in detail just how completely duplicitous Donald Trump really is.

        Or does the subject post “ARE NBA PLAYERS USEFUL IDIOTS?” demand the reader’s undivided attention?

        In any event, kindly forgive me if I wasted your time.

        I’ll give you the last word………..

    3. Assange has not been convicted of a crime so I don’t think a “pardon” makes sense/is possible — he is currently fighting extradition from the UK to the US — an option, perhaps the only option at this point, is use of prosecutorial discretion to drop the charges and withdraw the extradition request — but I’m not sure how much authority Trump/the president has there — ?

      In any case Trump would never do it; he’s obviously been captured by ZOG — he showed what a virtue signalling simp he is by his meaningless pardon of Susan B Anthony, while pompously hinting about it beforehand — his frequent braggadocio and (over-)use of superlatives are both juvenile.

      US treatment of Assange is a moral and legal disgrace.

      ‘Julian will be put on a show trial – then they’ll bury him’: Mother of Assange’s two children tearfully warns of the WikiLeaks founder’s fate as the US begins its Old Bailey extradition bid

      1. Yes!

        I agree that it is not clear that a pardon could be issued without conviction. There is a lack of precedence.

        The larger point (as you point out) is that Trump’s character and inclination makes the issue moot.

      1. RS…He cannot do anything until the man is indicted and tried in the UNITED STATES. Why is that so difficult to get? Give him a break, please.

      2. Of course he could do something. He could fire the deep state stooge Barr and appoint an AG that would do the right thing and drop the charges. It’s just that simple.

      3. RS..I am seriously thinking you are an agent provocateur. Keericed, if you are an American, show some hope and respect for this country and its inhabitants. At this point, we need some light, not consistent darkness.

      4. What makes you say that? The truth is my defense. And the truth will set you free. Embrace it and you will feel better.

        Or not. Just continue to believe a fairy tale—— like most people.

  4. I just spoke with two Americans, probably in their sixties, who have swallowed the Covid propaganda hook, line and sinker. They are waiting for the vaccine.

    When I suggested that death stats don’t indicate a pandemic and that Covid is not the deadly virus as advertised, I was aggressively challenged!

    1. I am careful about discussing this topic with people, as well as use of masks, except to say courteously they are free to wear a mask if they wish, but please don’t support any kind of mandate that would force everyone to wear one; in this context I often ask: ‘If I have to wear a mask too, what good is yours?’ — at this point anyone with a brain and any interest has looked into the issue, including skeptical views — people who haven’t are a lost cause and a waste of time.

      moderated
    1. RS…I trust that is the “generic” you, as I have not consented in any way. I do not and will not wear a mask into any store. IF they do not allow me in the store (so far, only Paneras and Bulk Nation), I raise hell and let them know they will be sued….and they KNOW I am serious. Paneras would not allow me in the store without a mask. I used the drive thru and then asked if i could go in the store and sit inside out of the 95 degree heat since I already had my cappuccino. They said no. So I asked them what the difference is if someone wears a mask and places their order inside and then removes their mask when they sit down and myself buying the cappuccino at the drive thru and going in to sit down without a mask. Their only answer was to say it’s “corporate policy”. When I had finished my drink outside, I then went to the drive thru and asked if i could use the bathroom. They refused. That is where I got them. The ADA had previously told me since they offered the alternative of the drive thru, I had no case…BUT, I do not think a sit-down restaurant in Florida can refuse to allow you to use the bathroom without offering an alternative. Would that have been peeing in the parking lot? I’ll be writing a letter to their corporate headquarters. IF I get no satisfaction, I’ll be contacting an attorney and depending upon the outcome, will start a Go Fund Me. I intend to do the same with Bulk Nation who would not allow me to enter without a mask UNLESS I used their hand sanitary crap OR wore gloves.
      So, NO, I do not consent and am doing something about it. How about you?

      moderated
      1. I applaud your stiff resistance.

        Of course I refuse to wear a mask, but I haven’t bothered with legal action against any of the idiots who insist upon it because I know how stupid (and corrupt) the legal system is. Ask Dr. Fetzer about that if you don’t believe me. It’s largely a waste of time.

        But I admit you are a better man than I in this matter!

      2. RS, I appreciate your response. It’s not my intention to put myself above anyone, but just to show it takes little to withdraw ones consent. It appears we cannot stop this madness since it’s doubtful we’ll ever get the numbers we need, so we have to make our own personal stands for the good of our own soul. I doubt I will find an attorney with the gonads to take this on, but it’s worth a shot. I do believe the best response I’ll get is when i send letters to the CEO and copies to other organizations that may have some influence.

      3. RS…Further….if you watch the following video carefully (I posted this in another place) and follow the instructions, it’s likely you will not need an attorney or even go to court. Please watch it several times and take notes….send it around….get others interested and involved and we can break this madness sooner than expected. I fully intend to follow this path and not sit around and wait for someone else to save me.
