As part of the National Black Power Convention held in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday, May 29th, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), a Marxist black nationalist and revolutionary movement, called for reparations and genocide against whites. The “black power” event coincided with the 100-year weekend anniversary of the lamentable 1921 racial riot in the Sooner State’s (Oklahoma) second-largest city.
The Tulsa Race Massacre, a lamentable occurrence where armed whites and blacks fought each other, leaving a death toll of 26 blacks, 10 whites and the destruction of 35 square blocks of the Greenwood section of Tulsa, known as “Black Wall Street”. To participate in that solemn occasion, hundreds of black Americans from numerous radical left-wing groups participated in the march with the NBPP being the largest. The extremists participating in the demonstration were all well-armed, as was reported by the local Tulsa Public Radio.
Among the heated racist rhetoric there were statements from speakers representing the ultra-left black extremists, captured in Twitter videos. “We’re pushing death to white supremacy, death to capitalism, death to imperialism, and death to fascism. We’re pushing an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a head for a head, and a life for a life.” The genocidal rant against whites and black supremacy espousal reached alarming levels of domestic terrorism concerns. “Because that time will come when there’s a rat-a-tat-tat… black Americans will kill everything white in sight,” stated another black supremacist in the event.

Socialism, from its onset, repeatedly witnessed cannibalistic faction wars and desertions. Karl Marx ridiculed every other socialist variant labeling them pejoratively as “utopians.” For Friedrich Engels, the inventor of Marxism, and himself only their pseudo “scientific” socialism was legitimate. Black Lives Matter (BLM) has observed the one-year anniversary of the communist identity politics revolt following the death of George Floyd, with mixed reviews.
While sadly the Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) dogma, which is the ideological underpinning of the BLM revolution, is making an enormous headway infiltrating America’s institutions with the help of the Biden-Harris Administration, BLM appears to be unraveling from within.
Rashard Turner, founder of the BLM St. Paul, Minnesota chapter, publicly separated himself from the Marxist organization and revealed his disenchantment in a video released by TakeCharge on May 26th that favors racial tension amelioration and uplifting disparities between black Americans and other segments of society, but repudiates BLM’s methods and its attachment to the CRT worldview. “I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies, black lives do matter,” the former BLM leader stated. “I was an insider in Black Lives Matter. And I learned the ugly truth”, Turner continued.

The Importance of Memorial Day
Remembering and honoring all United States soldiers that died in war is, in general terms, what Memorial Day is all about. Originally called Decoration Day, it was not until after World War II that the reference to the current name gained national momentum. Most countries celebrate versions of honoring their war dead. In the case of the United States, given its foundational adhesion to the principle of liberty with its concurrent constitutional republican model and an innate abidance of living within a Christian transcendental order, the solemness and self-identification of this special occasion places Memorial Day among America’s most relevant celebrations.
Union General John A. Logan, a former congressman, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic (a fraternal organization composed of Union Civil War veterans) and subsequent senator for Illinois, issued on May 5th, 1868, General Order No. 11. This proclamation established on May 30th of that year as a day of remembrance to honor those who gave up their lives for their country in the American Civil War. “The 30th day of May 1868”, read the Order, “is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land.”

Sanctions and embargos against dictatorships do work and are necessary. This is so for practical, strategical, and moral reasons. Arguably, the biggest heist of United States property in history, $8 billion worth in current value consisting of approximately 6,000 American citizens and companies, was executed by Cuban communism.
For the Cuban nationals that were ripped off by the 1959 communist takeover, the numbers of victims were far greater. According to Cuban writer, Carlos Alberto Montaner, in a 2015 article analyzing the cost of Cuba’s socialist revolution put the total figure at roughly 2,055,214 establishments including homes, businesses, farms/ranches, and factories. Considering that Cuba’s population in 1959 was 6,000,500 inhabitants, the per capita theft was immense. Finally, thanks to the Trump Administration’s activating Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act (“Liberty Act”, a/k/a Helms-Burton) for the first time since the law’s enactment in 1996, a claim was paid out to afflicted Cuban American litigants.
Title III, one of the four sections of the Liberty Act, allows Americans and Cuban Americans to seek in United States courts, indemnification for trafficked properties which were seized by the Cuban Marxists on or after January 1, 1959. In October 2020, the Claflin family (heirs and estates) sued LafargeHolcim, a Swiss multinational building materials manufacturing company. LafargeHolcim made the mistake of venturing into a business deal with Cuba’s dictatorship in 2000. The “Carlos Marx” cement plant, a renamed and rehashed confiscated family business that belonged to the Clafins.
