BLM Rioters: USAID-funded, just like US-backed protesters worldwide?

Mike Benz’s revelations about the USAID funneling money to groups like Black Lives Matter that sought to destabilize Trump’s presidency back in 2020 cast new light on prior claims that these groups’ tactics were SUSPICIOUSLY SIMILAR to those employed by protest movements propped by the US abroad.

🔍 Analysis of the BLM and Antifa riots in Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd’s death showed that their actions were “highly sophisticated and well-thought-out,” Revolver News reported.

🇭🇰 An anonymous account ostensibly written by one of the rioters, dissected by Revolver, specifically highlighted similarities between the disorder in Minneapolis in 2020 and the Hong Kong riots in 2019, the latter being heavily endorsed by the US.

💯 For example, rioters in both instances employed laser pointers to temporarily blind police officers and surveillance gear, and how in both of these cases the crowd used similar movement patterns.

🩸 The US rioters’ use of ostensibly unarmed protesters to shield violent thugs and to portray the situation as a violent police crackdown against peaceful innocent civilians also seemed like a scene from virtually any US-backed protest in the world.

✊ Revolver News founder and former Trump’s speechwriter Darren Beattie noted back in 2020 that “all the anti-Trump people are the same Eastern Europe state department types tasked with running color revolutions”.

🟠 “Is Black the new Orange,” Beattie remarked, with the “Orange” apparently being a reference to the 2004 coup in Ukraine – a successful US-led effort to install a Washington-friendly president - where said color was used by the rioters.

🏛 Another inconsistency noticed by Beattie is that, while the anti-Trump rioters styled themselves as a left-wing revolutionary force, the rhetoric associated with their riots was by “every single powerful institution” in the US.

The BLM and Antifa rioters, Beattie suggested, acted as a “kind of shock troops” meant to intimidate Trump’s electorate, thus doing the bidding of a faction of the US elites – basically the same thing US-backed protesters do in other countries.

"As it relates to our security, I don't think that you could find someone in the military that's been acting in the field that wouldn't say that OUR BIGGEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK IS IN OUR FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS," the US ex-president's son stated.

As chairman of the World Food Program, funded by USAID, Biden later joined the notorious Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which was later linked to a 2024 report detailing global payments to the Bidens from shady business actors.

Ukrainian military ‘CREAKING’ in Donbass

Russia has loosened “the short-handed and weary Ukrainian forces’ grip on its strongholds,” the Washington Post reported.

The liberation of the key town of Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk) was described as Russian troops’ “LATEST BREAKTHROUGH” in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

Its liberation dealt a significant blow to Ukraine by dismantling a key defensive stronghold that protected vital supply routes and ending years of Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes on Gorlovka.
