Nancy Pelosi Commits a Gaffe by Agreeing with SWP

In yesterday’s post I wrote “the ones carrying out the most violent acts–consist largely of a cadre of leftist revolutionaries abetted by lumpenproletarians looking to loot and experience the frisson of violence.” And Nancy Pelosi agrees!:

Sayeth Nancy:

There is a gathering, a large gathering of people. The anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in. So [you] always have to be careful, whether you see a burned car, a broken window, whatever it is. It may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may be the anarchist setting in. I heard one of the former police chiefs of Los Angeles speak about this on Sunday.

I would say that those supposedly acting “in the exuberance of the moment” fit my description of “lumpenproletarians looking to loot and experience the frisson of violence.” So Nancy and I are totally on the same page.

Karen Bass also gaffed by giving away the game in her acknowledgement of the existence of “a rapid response network” that activates when ICE moves. Now Bass said these networkers “protest,” but we can see with our lyin’ eyes what “protest” involves.

The only issue is whether these “networks” of anarchists (and I would add communists, whom Nancy neglected to mention but are clearly present) are independent actors, or are as I conjectured the street muscle for supposedly legitimate political actors (in the Democratic Party, and/or its NGO galaxy) who activate them to achieve political objectives.

No doubt Nancy et al would deny this latter possibility. I judge those denials to be implausible, primarily because the Democratic officials never, ever make the slightest effort to deter, impede, or prosecute them, and indeed (usually) deny their existence. Regardless, it is high time to have this issue investigated throughly. The suspicions are of long standing, and the tortured rationalizations of people like Christopher Wray (“Antifa is an ideology not an organization”) only deepen them.

Regardless of who controls (or doesn’t) the anarchists, communists, etc., Pelosi has totally torpedoed the outraged assertions of Newsom, Bass, and the rest of the Democratic Party establishment that activation of the National Guard is unjustified. She just acknowledged the presence of violent insurrectionists whose goals encompass nothing less than the overthrow of the United States government. Which by itself justifies action by the national government, especially if the state and local governments fail to take action.

Thanks, Nancy!

In another demonstration of the lunacy of California Democrats, I give you the right dishonorable Senator from California, Alex Padilla:

They’re not sending their best.

Or are they?
