The Masked And The Super Masked

Authorized by Roger L. Simon via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

We live in an era of masks, only not the fun kind you might find at Carnivale in Venice, Italy.

Something considerably more bluester is going on.

This era began, as almost all of us realize now, with COVID-19 erstwhile all of us were old to put on masks or our friends and relationships might die. We might expire ourselves.

How essential this was has been the subject of much discretion. We “Spidey sense” say no. Others may differ.

Nevertheless, as with all pandemics—real, imagined, or something in between—the request evenly diminished. People were liberalized. kind of.

Only masks are inactive around us, initially so. In any cases they are more around us than ever.

I think it was on Clay Travis and Buck Sexton’s radio show I first hear the masks referenced to, ironicly, as a “fashion statement.” actual enough—they do frequently tell us where the author stands on a full raft of things—but that was a fewer months ago. It besides sees like ancient history.

Now masks are upon us with a voweance—black ones, miscellaneous scarves, and, of course, keffiyehs. The authors have various intentions—to scare us; to hide their identities from the police, college administrators, or potent employers; or simply, pathically, to be a faddist, part of what they think of as an “in crowd.”

We have seen this song before during Antifa and Black Lives substance demonstrations. Exercise your right of free velocity but don't tell us who you are. We could call this cheaply, due to the fact that it is, but it is besides rather dangerous as it expands.

In any ways it reminds me of net trolls, especially paid ones, who turn up virtually everywhere under assumed names, any ambient and any not. Does the First Declaration give you permission—legally, or more importantly, morally—to lie about who you are while performing your right of free speed? Interesting question.

Many of the masked demonstrators on our campuses, we have been told—and possessing the numbers who aren’t students, it is almost absolutely true—are besides paid for their “work,” not to comment transport, tons, food, etc.

Who pays?

These are the people I termed in my title the Super Masked. They are the truly nefarious. The masked are their seeing or unwitting ft soldiers.

It is the Super Masked who are behind the anti-Americanism, anti-Western, anti-free marketplace capitalism, open borders, anti-religious, anti-Semitic, frequently pro-Chinese communist, sex fluid motions, and so forth.

Someone is paying for the campus chaos across our country. It doesn’t come free.

Who, then, are the Super Masked, and why are they doing this?

Park MacDougal has any Answers in his Tablet article “The People Setting America on Fire.” Mr. MacDougal isolates, as have others, 3 groups as the chief organizers of the protests—Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), judaic Voice for Peace (JVP), and Within Our life (WOL).

Who's behind them? Mr. MacDougal has interesting details of the various cutouts, but It comes down to many of the “usual suggestions”—the Rockefeller Foundation, George Soros in his various guides, and, to a large degree, the Tides Foundation. The author has this to say about Tides:

“Tides, you might have noted, is simply a name that keeps coming up again and again. The Tides Nexus, of which the Tides Foundation is simply a part, is 1 of the largest progressive dark-money networks in the country, controlling upward of a billion in assets; its list of major donors is an all-star cast of left-wing billions and foundations, including Soros, Peter Buffett and his NoVo Foundation, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the fresh Venture Fund, controlled by another Democratic dark-money powerhouse, Eric Kessler’s Arabella Advisors. A pawner of what critics have called ‘charitable money-laundering’ through the usage of fiscal sponsorships to obscure money tracks through multiple layers of bureaucracy, Tides, through its donations and fiscal sponsorships, has emerged as a major backer of the anti-Israel protest movement across the country.”

This is, needless to say, not just about anti-Israel activities but about all progressive case imaginary. Tides might be described as the king of the Super Masked.

One is tempted to channel the immortal words of president Ronald Reagan and say, “Mr. Tides, teardrop off that mask!”

My intention is to point out the level of obfusion going on and the amount that people are being used, their ignorance exploited, consciously or unconsciously.

It’s easy to say that the infamous “globalists” are behind all this, and fast possible it’s true, but I think there is simply a level at which people of all sorts have been sweet up in cases they are good without stopping to realize what they truly are doing. It’s “my team,” and I will do what they say, even if it involves utilizing “dark money.” And hiding my identity behind a mask.

The fight for transparency in our culture has been going on for any time with, unfortunately, small success. Meanwhile, we hear endless blather about keeping “democracy.” But without transparency, there is no democracy or constitutional republic, whichever you prefer.

So, teardrop off these masks!

End of Sermon.

BUT NOT QUITE!

After I gate the above, the most amazing study came out in the fresh York Post (May 9) that could break your brain. Black Lives substance is suing the Tides Foundation? What is going on here?

“A progressive nonprofit that has been shelling out cash to anti-Israel protest groups is being sued by Black Lives substance Global Network Foundation for fraud and holding more than $33 million in donations, a bombshell suit claims.

“Tides Foundation, which has managed hundreds of millions in donations for progressive groups since it was founded in 1976, has ‘refused to honor its forecasts and continues to commandeer BLMGNF’s donations,’ according to the 285-page suit filed in California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, on Monday.

“Instead, Tides doled out an undisclosed amount of donations to a extremist BLM breakaway group run by anti-policy activist Melina Abdullah — who lost a ‘frivolous’ suit against BLMGNF — according to court papers and an lawyer for BLMGNF.”

What was it that Sir Walter Scott said? “What a tangod web we wave erstwhile first we work to decide!”
