Here’s their coverage of Charlottesville
Apparently there were only 50 KKK members in Charlottesville but over a thousand BLM
They literally have an entire section of their site about hating on BLM
i wonder who’s funding and operating the site. it looks like it’s meant to capture and radicalize rank and file officers. but, then that would mean it’s not rank and file officers who have built the site.
Whenever I see one of those Blue Lives Matter flags I think to myself, “well there’s a racist. A racist who likes to promote their views euphemistically.”
Furthermore…
Their website is registered through Domains by Proxy. The organization started out of NYC. The NYC folks have community sponsorship listed on their site. The website for bluelivesmatter.blue looks way more sophisticated. The founder of the NYC org was interviewed on Breitbart and has a big “As seen on Fox News” banner.
I’m going to guess the NRA on this one but I’d be really interested to know who’s behind bluelivesmatter.blue
So if you missed this
They seem like feudalists. They want cops to be part of a new aristocracy.
the apparel site bluelivesmatter.blue uses is run by “warrior12”. that site has the same look and feel as blm (ugh) and they cross-promote. warrior 12 lists an address on their privacy page.
did a search with that address, and turned up a trademark registration by
tea kay media llc. ( apparently, they are also trying to trademark “blue lives matter.” it was turned down? and they reapplied. )
couldn’t find any actual businesses named that, but… the trademark application includes the owner’s name, address, etc.
it seems like it may be a wife and husband team. ( i think “cowgirl”, who seems to write many of the articles, is one of the owners. and, interestingly, the warrior12 twitter has a whole bunch of posts about women warriors. )
maybe they are simply true believers glomming on to something they see nationally. though, i do wonder what lies inside the “members only” login…
You’ve heard of the John Birch Society? It takes serious investigation to smoke the scumbags out of their spider holes. Also… the JBS kinda normalised this sheet.
I think that the JBS may have acquired that trick from the CIA and its predecessors.

Not out of the realm of possibility.
My guess from what little I could dig up is that there is a legit movement that was started out of the NYC. This site looks a little more homespun: https://bluelivesmatternyc.org/
There is a community on the bluelivesmatter.blue site you join for $45. I’m thinking if I wanted to fund this thing, all I’d do is throw some fake memberships at that board. The owners may not even be aware if they are getting funds from someone else. I’m actually thinking of purchasing a membership just so I can get a peek at their discussion boards.
If I had to hazard a guess at source of funds, I’d say the NRA. If you read their stuff these days, they are inciting war.
Media Matters actually rated the site as being high for Truth, which I think is a lot of why it works so well. The articles are mostly true, but when you aggregate all the police deaths in one place, aggregate all the violence against police in one
Also, those Blue Lives Matter Laws - must be some kind of sunlight laws on who the lobbyists are who worked that.
I don’t have the time today, but if you take the sponsors of the bill and put their names into this, we could probably figure out funding.
Yes there are demographics on that. It wasn’t as high as I would have thought. My Google Fu is failing me right now.
Or, you could run the official government protectors out of budget, then “magnanimously” offer to pay for security personnel out of your own budget (but of course they’ll need all the same legal privileges that the official guys have, 'cause they’re protecting the president and all).
If I thought these clowns were capable of that level of planning, I would be even more afraid than I am now. As it stands, I am willing to consider the budget thing to be pure, narcissistic obliviousness to reality. And greed. Lots of grifter greed.
Fuck, I guess the lives of black Human Beings having value (you know, mattering) is just too much for some people to wrap their head around, or something?
I know a couple of those people. No way you will get to them. They are some seriously damaged people who are very serious about their jobs.
The Proud Boys et al are the SA equivalent.
Militarised-cops-with-official-impunity is getting closer to SS.
Can’t think of a different thread where this fits.
As much as I despise Trump and don’t believe that Melania is the unwilling accomplice people paint her as, one thing is true to anyone with a hint of decency: Barron should be off limits, at least for the next 8-10 years.
