Hi, SFB,
Let me talk about something else for a minute, by way of illustration. My mother has joined Ahmadi Islam in the US. The Ahmadi are a small group considered heretical by mainstream Islam, as they deny Islamic tradition around jihad and violence as an option, among other things. This makes them very attractive to Westerners, who are tired of Christianity, tired of hearing what they have never heard, yet still seeking spiritual life in organized religion. The Ahmadi identify as Muslim even though they are not recognized as proper Muslims by the vast majority, very much like Mormons vis-a-vis Christianity.
The other Muslims in the West use this to their advantage. Thanks to the doctrine of taqiyya, which allows them to lie to us even about the doctrine of taqiyya, allows them to ignore their differences while the Ahmadi pick up converts and Islam spreads in the US, which it is doing with frightening speed. It is clear that when they achieve enough political power to effectively rule a large enough portion of the nation (Michigan and Minnesota are increasingly coming under their thumb), the Ahmadi will be swept aside as such, and many converts like my mother will face a choice between becoming a disdained and persecuted minority or accepting Shiia or Sunni Islam. It won’t matter that they were sincere, wanted good things, and hated bad things. They would already be seen as apostate Muslims (however bad as Muslims) and Sharia Law has the harshest penalties for that.
And one more thing - from Chesterton’s amazing novel (it literally is like a maze that amazes), “The Man Who Was Thursday”:
Do not confuse it,” replied the constable, “with those chance dynamite outbreaks from Russia or from Ireland, which are really the outbreaks of oppressed, if mistaken, men. This is a vast philosophic movement, consisting of an outer and an inner ring. You might even call the outer ring the laity and the inner ring the priesthood. I prefer to call the outer ring the innocent section, the inner ring the supremely guilty section. The outer ring—the main mass of their supporters—are merely anarchists; that is, men who believe that rules and formulas have destroyed human happiness. They believe that all the evil results of human crime are the results of the system that has called it crime. They do not believe that the crime creates the punishment. They believe that the punishment has created the crime. They believe that if a man seduced seven women he would naturally walk away as blameless as the flowers of spring. They believe that if a man picked a pocket he would naturally feel exquisitely good. These I call the innocent section.” 34
“Oh!” said Syme. 35
“Naturally, therefore, these people talk about ‘a happy time coming’; ‘the paradise of the future’; ‘mankind freed from the bondage of vice and the bondage of virtue,’ and so on. And so also the men of the inner circle speak—the sacred priesthood. They also speak to applauding crowds of the happiness of the future, and of mankind freed at last. But in their mouths”—and the policeman lowered his voice—“in their mouths these happy phrases have a horrible meaning. They are under no illusions; they are too intellectual to think that man upon this earth can ever be quite free of original sin and the struggle. And they mean death. When they say that mankind shall be free at last, they mean that mankind shall commit suicide. When they talk of a paradise without right or wrong, they mean the grave. They have but two objects, to destroy first humanity and then themselves. That is why they throw bombs instead of firing pistols. The innocent rank and file are disappointed because the bomb has not killed the king; but the high-priesthood are happy because it has killed somebody.”
I think it’s the same with BLM. The small organization you try to deny as significant, which is the heavily-funded one and is using the larger movement of “the outer circle” of innocent people who rightly hate racial injustice to advance their real cause of tearing down Western civilization and rebuilding it in their own godless image, is running the show and even using the people of the innocent outer circle here. That they themselves are being used by the devil is not on their radar, I guess, but they do believe that they need to put an end to what is left of the once-great Christian civilization; its natural decadence is not enough for them. It may be that their impatience in pushing riots, destruction, and mayhem will be their undoing. And they do use the apparent support of the outer circle to claim legitimacy for their mad destruction. All of the people in all of the “movement” serve them, whether they will or nill. Anyone flying one of their standards serves them, and gives the appearance of popular support to them; the more so because these same people do NOT come out and loudly condemn the organization.
And once they wield power, the “outerlies” will be swept aside, as the more innocent communists were in Russia and China, and they will rule by fear, and you could find yourself a new Boethius, perhaps in prison for your beliefs, writing your own “Consolation of Philosophy”.
“The wisest thing in the world is to cry out before you are hurt. It is no good to cry out after you are hurt; especially after you are mortally hurt. People talk about the impatience of the populace; but sound historians know that most tyrannies have been possible because men moved too late. It is often essential to resist a tyranny before it exists. It is no answer to say, with a distant optimism, that the scheme is only in the air. A blow from a hatchet can only be parried while it is in the air.” GKC, “Eugenics and Other Evils”
