If you still think that this BLM thing is all righteous and loving even after all the riots, looting, crime, admitted Marxism, etc, then i would ask you to step back and see things from a wider perspective... BLM are now official bible burners, anti-Christian

Michael Knowles is a political commentator and breaks it down very well i think...

Sorry I don’t know how to transfer things from the internet to here, but there are other reports that this video has been manipulated. It claims that the video came from Ruptly, a Russian government backed news agency.

I have no idea, but it always strikes me that ‘ fake news ‘ is argued so much on here when anyone posts anything that doesn’t conform to a certain way of thinking. Yet, others often use videos and internet posts to enhance their own point of view. I wouldn’t actually trust anything at the moment , not with the US elections coming up.
I don’t support BLM. Sorry about the churches not being open yet, they are open here in the UK ( with certain restrictions )

One thing that came to mind this morning, what are you focusing on - the Lord, or all the negatives from the currant situation. It’s seems that so many on here spend a large chunk of their time focusing on what’s happening and feeding off of it.

I would be careful trusting the Marxist propagandists that deny your lying eyes. This is how our Leftist Media Fake News works. They twist Burning, Looting and Murder into "peaceful protests." Tell that to the business owners and widows that have suffered at the hands of these Marxist Thugs! Look at who backs these actions! Democrats!

If you read my post properly you would be able to see that I wasn’t trusting in anything , I stated ‘ I didn’t know ‘ - whether it was actually coming from Portland, or whether it was coming from the Russian network, the aim either way is to get a reaction, which is being achieved.
I was also stating the truth that no one is beyond being deceived within the social media world.

Here in Melbourne we have arguably the toughest restrictions on the globe
Must wear a mask when u leave home
Curfew from 8pm to 6am to cannot leave your home for any reason
Cannot travel over 5kms from your home
Can only leave your home for one hour in a day for shopping or exercise.
Cannot visit anyone unless its your partner. No other family members
$1,600 fines being overly enforced for breaking any of these laws
Parliament is suspended so dictator Dan is passing through all these laws unopposed
What else, haven't been to church in 5 months
Had to attend my cousins funeral with 50 person limit in church
I missed the burial cos there was a 10 person limit for the cemetery
Cannot play golf, go fishing or go for a swim, not even alone
Haven't worked this year and although the gov is paying me something its still been a huge financial hit. My future is uncertain

I better stop because i can easily write a whole page more.
I declare Melbourne to be the most totalitarian city in the west and challenge anyone to show me otherwise

Only some people can work and they need an exemption. My mate lays floors and asked me to give him a hand for two days.
Whats it like around town i asked... He said it was dead...
On the way into the city, on the freeway, i noticed a few cars and said its not that bad. He just turned and said its 8.30am...
Umm yes thats right, we should be bumper to bumper now its peak hour. It was like 4am traffic, all clear.

I think there is 5 mil in this city and your average Tuesday is full of life u know. Its like a machine or even a living organism is a city.
The apartment we worked in was on Flinders lane. It runs across the length of the city and off that are countless alleys and lanes.
Their full of the funkiest little cafe's, restaurants, little boutique shops, bars, everything its one of the hippest parts of town that doesn't sleep.

Its always alive but what i saw just gave me mixed feelings of anger, sadness.
All those small places all closed like a ghost town with some stores boarded up like their out of business...
Lunch time was the most depressing of all. Usually u could buy chinese, italian, or any other global cuisine to eat.
But the only place we could find open nearby was... McDonalds... What a disgrace

And after the second day when we finished and head back home i thought to myself they've killed our city.
I would prefer to live near a country town than this concrete jungle which Satan has a hold over so much of.
But seeing the Melbourne corpse really gave me a sense of appreciation for the city and the people that make it breathe.
It literally brought a tear to my eye, it felt like a funeral, and seeing Melbourne like that was like viewing a corpse.

Anyway if u managed to read that sob story i apologize. I just had to put it in print u know like in the olden days they used to say to write a letter then tear it up, by the time u finish venting out in the letter uv calmed down... This is similar its a release, i feel calmer now that ive got it off my chest, but instead of pressing delete i figure i may as well publish it now. If even only one person can relate or take anything from my testimony then i will be happy, u know... Godspeed

Hi Cristo, Yes, it was a bit like that here when we first lockdown, although even now we only have to wear masks in the shops and on buses. Did you lockdown like this the first time round ?
I was fortunate that I was a key worker so I was able to go to work as normal.
Not sure what the restrictions are on funerals at the moment, but judging on how any were lining the street locally when Vera Lyne died- and how many were at the church , it must have increased in numbers !!
My work colleague lost his mum died during our lockdown, he couldn’t attend the funeral
How long do they think you will be lockdown like this ?

Yes, the Russian propaganda outlet Ruptly was involved.


A local reporter did say he knew at least one Bible had been burned. It is not clear that "Bibles" had been burned. Russian outlet Ruptly was quick to post their video and then others repeated it.

How a Bible burning in Portland reveals Russia’s efforts to upend the 2020 U.S. election

The video that started a rolling viral outrage across mostly right-wing news platforms and social-media timelines shows a gaggle of young people in masks chanting anti-Trump slogans as one person lights aflame what looks like a graphic novel. Another masked individual then drops an American flag on top of it. Twigs and newspapers are later added to the fire.

The video came from Ruptly, a Russian-government-backed news agency. “[T]he Portland Bible burnings appear to be one of the first viral Russian disinformation hits of the 2020 presidential campaign,” The New York Times reported Tuesday.

That doesn’t mean the book in the video wasn’t a Bible.

The respected fact-checking website Snopes noted last week that it isn’t clear in the various relevant Portland protest videos from Aug. 1 whether the items “being burned were, in fact, Bibles,” but it ultimately determined that one Bible did get torched that night, pointing to reporting by KOIN 6 reporter Danny Peterson.

But that’s the thing about disinformation:

It leverages social media to create a snowball effect, a mammoth virtual version of the children’s game Telephone. A Bible possibly is burned in a small fire, apparently with almost all of the protesters in the vicinity that night unaware of it, and online this quickly becomes a bonfire, with “rioters holding Black Lives Matter signs tossing Bibles” into the blaze.
American intelligence thinks Russia wants Trump to win and China wants Biden to. Judging from that video being posted by Russian propaganda, maybe American intelligence is calling it right.

Russia targeting Biden but China prefers Trump lose, counterintel chief says

U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that Russia is targeting former vice president Joe Biden ahead of November’s election, the country’s top counterintelligence official announced Friday. But he also suggested that China is hoping President Donald Trump will lose.

“We assess that Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia ‘establishment,’” Bill Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said in a statement.

“This is consistent with Moscow’s public criticism of him when he was Vice President for his role in the Obama Administration’s policies on Ukraine and its support for the anti-Putin opposition inside Russia,” he added.

As a Christian, I truly believe that black lives do matter, as do all lives, God created ALL people and loves ALL of us, yet this article below has some disturbing information about the BLM movement in of itself. :eek:

Do all black lives matter?

"Fact-checking website". WoW they must really know their facts right... We better disregard what every media story is saying and trust this fact-checking website right, cos they don't have any ulterior motives, oh no way. Excuse that sarcasm and the following bluntness...

Fact checking is a new term for censorship... They are Nazi brownshirts out to silence cancel and ban any dangerous truths.
We're supposed to believe it was all Russias doing, again, we've been through this before, Russia, Russia, Russia, all were lies.

Since this term fact checking was introduced ive only seen it being used to silence, ban and censor like its the Germany 1933
So im sorry if i am skeptical of your fact checking source. I reject all censorship, just like westerners have done for hundreds of years
No cognitive dissonance here my friend. This is really an extreme position your taking. The left are self admitted socialists. Like how long has it been since Floyd, 3 months, are u still supporting these "peaceful protests"? Seriously?

U know i wonder if your young if u want this socialist global change. Do u?
Cos with the average wage and price of housing i think i would be considering a change from the current capitalist system if i was younger as well

You are doing what many others do: Label the media which publish things you disagree with as fake news or censorship while applauding the sites that pump you the stuff you want to believe. Could you ever be fooled? No, never, not you.

Ruptly TV has its own channel at You Tube. If you want to believe the stuff they air, go for it. Strange how people will believe some of the craziest things they hear at off-beat sites but then think the "mainstream" media is all lies. RT has its own site too, in English, and I visit it sometimes just to see what the Russians are promoting.

Just wait to see if the Chinese start their own propaganda campaign against Trump. Things could get really strange. People will get so paranoid, they'll be afraid of their own shadows. People are already so mentally unstable, just being alone seems to drive them nuts.

Let the conspiracies fly. Any ideas on who took that shot at the Air Force helicopter flying in Virginia? Could that have been BLM? Antifa? White supremacists?

For the record, it was the government burning books in Nazi Germany, not demonstrators.

Russia as a nation is actually far more Pro-Christian than BLM is. BLM was founded by three women: a lesbian, and lesbian married to a transgender woman, and a significant supporter to transgender causes:

It is helpful to know something about the people who started the organization and their philosophies to see what is being promoted in the Black Lives Matter movement. The movement was founded by three women: Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi. Patrisse Khan-Cullors is a lesbian and considers herself the wife of Harriet Tubman. Likewise, Alicia Garza describes herself as “queer” and the wife of Malachi Larrabee-Garza who is “transgender” (she is a woman who refers to herself with masculine pronouns). Opal Tometi describes herself as “an ally to the trans and queer community.”[1] She donates to transgender causes and organizations
The Biblical Solution to Racism | Biblical Science Institute

It is certainly not surprising if the movement should become associated with Bible burning. Whether a fabrication or not (which I strongly doubt), the only "Christianity" the founders of BLM would support with such leaders is a prostituted form that perverted the pages of scripture into an unclean and filthy religion that endorsed "believers" welcoming demonic spirits into their bodies.

I just recently read this article below:

Black Lives Matter Chicago organizer says looting is ‘reparations’: ‘Businesses have insurance’

Looting is reparations? Businesses have insurance? Justified lawlessness? o_O
Oh, I get it. Some of the BLM leader’s distant ancestors were probably slaves, so America owes them the moon. This is the entitlement mentality I was talking about. I’m glad that there are many hard-working black Americans who don’t share this BLM leader’s rotten attitude.

Im identifying the definition of this new age term known as "fact checking". When did they start it seems like just a few months ago, now there is like the fact checking police trying to regulate media truths... Its still going to get all mixed up...
CNN and FOX... Left and Right... Has the media always been like this i dunno...
Have u seen the film 1984... Well the main character works in what i perceive to be a "fact-checking" company... Its a great film...

Its hard not to feel like we are all just blind pawns here but... But how old are you? Im 42yo.
I find it helps understanding were people are coming from knowing there age, but uv censored that info (joking)...:D

Ive been giving it some thought and the more i look at it the more i can understand why this generation would want change...
Financially there has never been a tougher time its been well documented in our media in the last decade.
The ave wage vs house prices is like wowa insanely impossible for most to ever own a home
