The MORNING REPORT by JJ Sefton

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and the big story breaking late yesterday is that no-talent low-life Jussie Smollett was actually found guilty of faking a “hate crime,” or in real terms being assaulted. The specifics of the charges, which though described as disorderly conduct are nevertheless federal charges, and are catalogued here at Legal Insurrection. We’ll see what sort of sentence this turd receives, but I have my doubts it will amount to any more than a slap on his limp wrist. Considering this was in Chicago, with two profoundly inept, irresponsible ideologues as mayor and DA, and a jury pool that, to be charitable, is as poisoned by mal-education and indoctrination as the aforementioned and the defendant, it’s kind of a miracle that the jury did the right thing.

That is, “the white thing” according to the official armed militant wing of the Democrat Party, BLM (apologies to the cast and crew of the porn film Do the White Thing for associating them with such debased criminals as BLM and Democrats). What perhaps at the outset of this incident was a means for a washed up has been to thrust himself in the limelight to get a raise or another gig was as another loathsome Chicagoan made famous, a crisis that the left could not let go to waste. And they glommed onto that like white on rice, so to speak.

Forget Smollett. He’s meaningless in this (assuming that there is no evidence that local or even national Democrats and others colluded with Smollett to cook this up). Let’s jump into the Wayback Machine and go back to January of 2019 (if only, right?). America under the leadership of President Donald Trump was in the ascendancy like never before. Democrats and the left were flailing and failing. Most crucially, minority voting blocs, specifically blacks and Latinos, were starting to see what Trump meant when, as a candidate, underscoring the perpetual misery that the aforementioned minorities were shackled with, said about voting for him, “what have you got to lose?” Of course, far too many still voted for the delusional muumuu-wearing dipsomaniac, but by 2019 the Trump economic miracle got more minorities working and more off the dole than ever before. 

That alone made Donald Trump the greatest existential threat to the Democrats’ voting base in nearly 60 years. That, gentle reader, is why LBJ foisted “The Great Society” on us and why Teddy Kennedy flooded us with waves of unvetted, unassimilated third world peasants, legal and illegal, courtesy of Hart-Celler, but I digress. Not really because the Democrat Party needs a vast underclass in order to thrive. Despite its loud and constant drumbeating about the destruction of the middle class, it is they whose policies drag people down and keep people down. Unfortunately, they are not solely culpable; corporate America, in its quest for cheap labor dismantled itself and shipped its factories overseas, mostly to China. I’ll save that for another day since it gets away from the crux of the biscuit, which is racial division. 

I really don’t want to turn this into a disquisition so suffice it to say that despite Trump’s success, the political/cultural/media narrative of America as an illegitimate, irredeemable white supremacist nation, exacerbated to gigantic proportions by none other than the guy who was supposed to be post-racial, Barack Hussein Obama, was cranked up to maximum. It had to be in order to regain power, no matter the cost in terms of tearing us apart.

In a nation of nearly 330,000,000, from the real statistics I have seen (not the SPLC, ADL or ACLU), the actual number of organized, avowed white supremacists is anywhere between 6,000 to 10,000 maximum. That of course doesn’t include the FBI agents dressed in matching “Up With People” outfits in kneepads and tiki torches, or the BLM-sters and Antifarians wearing MAGA hats and given the keys to the Capitol by the DC cops. 

But if America is a nation chock full of millions of violent white racists, by G-d the left is going to have some! This is also known as “Fake, but accurate.” And l’affaire Juicy Galore isn’t an outlier. It’s happened over and over and over again.

It turns out that the only ones who believed Jussie Smollett’s fake “beating” by his accomplices were Black Lives Matter because the group hates the police more than it hates lying to the American people.

Well, it turns out that Americans are getting wise to fake hate crimes. In fact, there are so few real hate crimes that people like Jussie Smollett have to make them up. Or, as a commentator Clay Travis once said of Jussie in 2019, “The demand for racist hate far exceeds the supply of any racist hate incidents. Because of this, we are seeing one racial hoax charade after another.”

So few hate crimes exist that not only do Leftists have to make them up, they have to redefine what racism is (see critical race theory for an example of how they do this). All of a sudden racial profiling is back! But this time it’s “good.” Black Lives Matter said so. And if you don’t agree, they and their Antifa fellow travelers will burn your house down.

There are so many fake hate crimes that several databases have been launched to keep track of them. The best one I’ve seen was recommended by PJ Media colleague Kevin Downey, Jr. . It is called, coincidentally enough, fakehatecrimes.org.

There probably are real hate crimes out there. There are racist people out there; the KKK, wherever they are, have nothing on BLM and CRT promulgators.

Bingo. And what happens if you dare defend yourself against BLM and Antifa? You get hauled off like Kyle Rittenhouse. Fake hate crimes are deadly serious. And they go hand in hand with the mass crime wave hitting America’s cities. Because the fake hate crimes that get prosecuted while the real crimes that are ignored and in fact encouraged by Marxist mayors and law enforcement serve the same purpose: societal dissolution as a means to seize absolute power “for the safety of the citizenry.” Anthony Fauci and a whole lot of governors and mayors have the same exact thought, but via a different approach.

Apart from Kim Foxx, the most controversial district attorney to receive aid from a Soros’ operation is San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin. Boudin is a big supporter of redistributive justice, which calls for behavioral changes rather than punishment. He pushed for shoplifting below 950 dollars to be treated as a misdemeanor, which set off a tidal wave of organized shoplifting. One Safeway store had to limit its hours in response and set up obstacles for exit. Walgreens closed some 22 stores for both economic and loss control reasons. Most controversial was a brutal attack on an elderly Asian man where the attacker was released on probation. Boudin’s office argued that the victim agreed to the decision. But the victim, who speaks no English, said he never agreed, and various community leaders have taken to the streets to make their opposition known. Boudin is facing a recall election.

There is an alliance between prosecutors who have embraced redistributive justice and criminals who have found crime to be a revolving door. Redistributive justice, however, is part of a larger system that views criminal activity as a result of social forces and not individual decision making. It is part of a system that calls the very legitimacy of the polity into question.

Crime rates in these cities has risen. Chicago is seeing one of the highest crime rates in decades. Mayor Lightfoot is correct when she says the city is descending into chaos. But that is the plan.

For a strong, vibrant, economically sound democracy, such events are problematic but not a threat to the system. But change the equation, question the legitimacy, and such perturbations become a threat to the viability of the political system. Chaos is the name of the game.

Shorter Sefton: Divide and conquer.

Have a good weekend.
