BLACK LIVES MURDER - THE REALITY OF BLACK RACISM, HATE AND VIOLENCE - RACIST ARUNA KHILANANI WANTS TO SHOOT WHITE PEOPLE - BLACKS KILLING BLACKS IS A WEEKEND SPORT IN OBAMAVILLE, CHICAGO

 

Report: NYC Psychiatrist Tells Yale Audience She Fantasized About Shooting White People

NEW HAVEN, CT - SEPTEMBER 27: Students walk through the campus of Yale University on the day the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee was holding hearings for testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh September 27, 2018 in New Haven, Connecticut.

A psychiatrist based in New York City reportedly told a group at the Yale School of Medicine she fantasized about “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.”

The New York Post reported:

Dr. Aruna Khilanani spewed the race-hating virtual remarks — in which she also said she’d walk away from the shooting “with a bounce in my step” and that white people “make my blood boil” and “are out of their minds and have been for a long time” — at the Ivy League institution’s Child Study Center on April 6.

Audio of the talk was posted on the substack online platform of former New York Times opinion writer and editor Bari Weiss on Friday, along with an interview of Khilanani conducted by writer and podcaster Katie Herzog.

Khilanani reportedly opened her talk by telling listeners, “I’m gonna say a lot of things, and it will probably provoke a lot of responses, and I want you to just maybe observe them in yourself.”

“Nothing makes me angrier than a white person who tells me not to be angry, because they have not seen real anger yet,” she said before noting how she “systematically” cut off many of her white friends about five years ago.

“I stopped watching the news,” Khilanani explained, adding, “Once I started, I couldn’t stop. It was also a public service.”

“I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f–king favor,” she stated.

The psychiatrist claimed Yale said footage of her talk would be released to the public on Monday, however, it was reportedly released internally and only available to those with a school ID.

According to the Post, Khilanani used what appeared to be her TikTok profile to advocate for the video to be made public.

“How did we get to a place where a psychiatrist delivering Grand Rounds at Yale School of Medicine can give a talk called ‘The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind?'” Weiss wrote in a social media post on Friday:

The racism expressed by Dr. Aruna Khilanani in a Grand Rounds at Yale, just released by @bariweiss @kittypurrzog, is deeply worrisome & counter-productive,” Nicholas A. Christakis, the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale, said in a tweet:

“Of course, as an invitee, she is free to speak on campus. But her views must be soundly rejected,” he concluded.

Police Force Won’t Respond to Theft Calls After 84 Officers Leave Dept.

Asheville, North Carolina’s police department (APD) has seen 84 officers leave since January 2020 and is now making clear it will no longer respond to theft calls.

The Daily Mail reports the department will also forgo answering fraud and trespassing calls.

APD Police Chief David Zack cites the “protests against law enforcement” as one of the factors that led so many officers to step away from the job.

The Asheville Citizen Times notes that “the APD officer attrition rate, formerly one per month, jumped to 7.5 per month in the four months after local protests set off by Minneapolis police murdering Black resident George Floyd.” And even after the highest profile protests waned the APD continues to see an attrition rate of roughly six officers a month.

As a result, the APD now has “only 167 of its 238 sworn officer positions filled.”

APD response times to 911 calls have lengthened during the period of growing officer attrition. The May 2020 7.7 response time for “serious crimes” is now at approximately 10.6 minutes. So the decision to stop answering calls about less serious crimes is also part of an attempt to cut response times to serious ones.

Chief Zack to the city council’s Public Safety Committee about the decision not respond to calls about low-level crimes, saying, “This is what it looks like when you’re down this much, when you lose 50% of your detectives.”

Looting, Riots Break Out in Minneapolis After Police Return Fire, Kill Wanted Felon

Burning, rioting, and looting broke out in Minneapolis on Friday night after deputies shot and killed a wanted felon who fired on them. Deputies assigned to the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force attempted to take the man wanted for being a felon in possession of a firearm into custody.

Police officials in Minnesota say the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force attempted to arrest 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith on June 3 for a warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm, the Associated Press reported. As sheriff’s office deputies assigned to the task force approached Smith’s vehicle, he reportedly refused to comply with orders and pulled a handgun. Officials confirmed Smith fired at least one shot from inside his car.

A statement from the Marshal’s Service said Smith was in a parked vehicle and “produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.” Smith died at the scene from wounds from two deputies’ shots.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reported that state investigators found a gun in Smith’s car along with a spent cartridge indicating Smith fired from inside his vehicle, the AP article states.

Following the shooting on Thursday, rioters marched in the streets, set fires, and began vandalizing and looting businesses, the AP reported. Police arrested nine people on charges following the night of violent activity.

Independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager tweeted a video showing multiple fires set by rioters on Friday night.

In addition, rioters also set trees on fire, photojournalist Rebecca Brannon tweeted.

Rioters protesting the shooting of the wanted felon who allegedly fired at agents attempting to arrest him began looting a TMobile store, Brannon tweeted.

Another video re-tweeted by Brannon shows someone performing CPR on a person who was allegedly shot during the riots.

It is not clear from the tweets who shot the person or what if they survived.

Another person was seen being treated on the street for an unknown injury.

Report: Bush Foundation Bankrolled by Chinese Communist Party-Linked Firm

A foundation started by the late President George H.W. Bush’s son, Neil Bush, bearing his name is being bankrolled by a firm linked to China’s communist government, known officially as the Communist Party of China.

report by Axios revealed the George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations, chaired and founded by Neil Bush in 2017, is raking in a $5 million grant from 2019 to 2023 from the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), which has ties to China’s communist government.

Axios reported:

Tax filings covering May through December of 2019 show the Bush China Foundation brought in a total of under $1.2 million in contributions, meaning CUSEF’s donations would likely comprise a substantial portion of its revenue.

The Hong Kong-based CUSEF is run by the city’s former chief executive, Tung Chee-Hwa. It calls itself “an independent, non-profit and non-governmental foundation.”

Tung is also the vice-chair of a Beijing-based advisory body that promotes the Chinese Communist Party’s political aims, which is chaired by a Politburo official who plays a leading role in Beijing’s “united front” global influence campaign.

CUSEF’s ties to the Chinese communist government have been widely documented.

In 2018, for instance, Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Mike McCaul (R-TX) wrote to Texas university presidents warning of CUSEF’s influence on campuses in the state, noting the firm’s intentions are “to spread China’s political agenda, suppress academic debate, and steal vital academic research.”

A year earlier, the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) was notably blasted for taking funds from CUSEF to bankroll “a new endowed professorship in the China Studies department as well as a new research project called the Pacific Community Initiative,” Foreign Policy reported at the time:

While CUSEF representatives stress that it is not an agent of the Chinese Communist Party, the foundation has cooperated on projects with the the People’s Liberation Army and uses the same Washington public relations firm that the Chinese Embassy does. [Emphasis added]

Exchanges and partnerships are not CUSEF’s only initiatives. As a registered foreign agent, in 2016 it spent just under $668,000 on lobbying, hiring the Podesta Group and other firms to lobby Congress on the topic of “China-U.S. relations.” The foundation has spent $510,000 on lobbying to date in 2017. [Emphasis added]

Likewise, the Jamestown Foundation detailed CUSEF’s ties to China’s communist government in a September 2020 report.

“CUSEF is indeed a major player in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s organizational apparatus for conducting united front work in the United States,” the conservative group writes:

The membership of the CUSEF board of governors is filled with other persons in the CCP’s Hong Kong united front infrastructure, to include those who hold (or have held in the recent past) positions in the PRC state or CPPCC apparatus. To cite but one example, Liu Changle (刘长乐) spent his early career in the PRC’s military media and propaganda system, and in 1996 founded Phoenix Television as a satellite news channel in Hong Kong. Phoenix is partially owned by the PRC state broadcaster CCTV, and is known for its reliably pro-CCP coverage. Liu serves as a standing committee member of the current 13th National Committee of the CPPCC, and was also a member of the previous 10th, 11th, and 12th CPPCCs (CUSEF, undated). [Emphasis added]

The identity of the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation—that of a nominally private entity, which in actuality functions as a de facto front organization for the PRC government—allows it to play a valuable role in Beijing’s efforts to sway public opinion and build influence in America. CUSEF’s extensive contracts with U.S. lobbying and public relations firms—contracts involving both sums and a breadth of activities difficult to reconcile with those of a genuine non-profit civic foundation—represent a sort of “lobbying laundering,” in which a nominally independent third-party organization acts as a primary agent for funding and managing lobbying efforts on behalf of the PRC. Coming to a fuller understanding of these disguised and well-funded efforts to sway both elite opinion and U.S. government policy will be a vital component of coming to grips with the CCP’s broader influence efforts directed at the United States, as well as the wider world. [Emphasis added]

In response to the Axios report, a spokesperson for the George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations said the organization is “proud” of their funding from CUSEF and defended the firm’s ties to China’s communist government, stating “we do not buy into that narrative.”

Gulf Cartel Boss Behind Mass Graves Sent to Prison in Mexico

A former top-ranking leader with the Gulf Cartel responsible for a series of mass murders, clandestine gravesites, incinerations sites, and other gory methods of disposing of humans has been sentenced to more than 11 years in a Mexican prison. The cartel boss spent time in a U.S. prison in his early years and is known for an incident where he began crying in front of a judge.

Known in the criminal underworld as El Pelochas, or Metro 28, Luis Alberto Blanco Flores climbed the ranks of the Gulf Cartel while surviving and taking part in a series of shifting alliances and betrayals. Those actions eventually led to him becoming a top regional boss before his latest arrest. This week, a sentencing tribunal handed down a term of 11 years and six months in prison following his conviction for aggravated extortion and engaging in organized criminal activity, information provided to Breitbart Texas by the Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office revealed.

According to authorities the crimes that led to Pelochas’ sentence took place during the summer of 2017. Breitbart Texas reported extensively on the criminal career of El Pelochas who became one of the leading Gulf Cartel figures between 2016 and 2018. During that period, he made a push to take control of the Reynosa faction and clashed with another top commander.

Breitbart Texas kept a record of the murders directly attributed to that power struggle with more than 500 murders taking place during that time. The murders included executions, assassinations, kidnapping victims, and casualties of the large-scale shootouts. One gruesome trend that grew during that time was the use of clandestine crematoriums and mass graves where Gulf Cartel members worked to dispose of the bodies of their victims and rivals.

During the start of his criminal career, El Pelochas spent time in a U.S. prison. In August 2010, federal agents arrested him in the border city of Brownsville, Texas, and only charged him with one count of illegal re-entry. At the time of his initial hearing, the fearsome cartel leader began to sob as he was escorted into the Brownsville federal court and he saw his mother in the audience. El Pelochas was one of three cartel commanders who fled to Brownsville to hide from rivals who had been hunting them.

EXCLUSIVE: Criminal Aliens Getting Free Pass, Say ICE Agents

Two law enforcement sources with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) expressed concern about policies enacted by the Biden administration that limit their ability to enforce existing laws. The sources raised the alarm over the release of criminal aliens into the United States and on the limitations placed upon them as it pertains to arresting fugitives who are illegal aliens subject to immediate removal.

In Del Rio, Texas, an ICE agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, says the number of criminal aliens being released onto the streets is beyond belief. On Friday, the source says, one migrant released from the local jail, who is a citizen of Mexico, previously deported from the United States, was set free into the United States. Rather than being returned to Mexico, as was standard practice before the new Biden administration policy, the source says, “We just turned him loose.”

“The man is an illegal alien; he has no claim to be in or remain in the United States and no relief from deportation,” the agent explained. “It’s a no-brainer. We normally just reinstate the removal order and be done with it.”

The criminal alien arrested had just served a six-month concurrent sentence for possession of methamphetamine and solicitation of prostitution, the agent explained.

“Prior to January, this man would have been swiftly removed to Mexico — only blocks away from the jail,” he added. “I don’t have a crystal ball and I cannot tell you who will or will not hurt someone in the future, but we mostly arrest criminal aliens. Most of our arrests come straight out of jail. Guess what, many are released right onto the streets,” the agent says.

The source says this is becoming an all-too-common practice.

“We are arresting fewer criminal aliens than ever in our agency’s history,” the agent stated. “I don’t know what it will take for people to wake up and see what potential danger this will cause in the future.”

According to the source in Del Rio, ICE agents are being told not to expend resources to remove migrants who do not have violent felony convictions or pose a risk of terrorism. The source says being a criminal is now a benefit. An adult migrant caught crossing the border illegally would be swiftly removed to Mexico according to the source. “If that same illegal alien commits a crime and goes to jail, we will release him after his sentence is completed. Crime pays I guess,” he explained.

Another ICE source in Houston, who is not authorized to speak to the media, informed Breitbart Texas that four teams of fugitive operations group agents have been limited to one case every two to three weeks due to the Biden administration’s desire to deport fewer migrants. The fugitive teams, consisting of one supervisor and four team members, ranked as the number three group in the nation when it comes to fugitive criminal alien arrests in previous years.

Now, according to the source, the twenty ICE agents are arresting only eight fugitives per month due to the agency’s priority enforcement memorandum issued shortly after President Biden took office. The source says, “Our guys don’t even want to come to work anymore. They view this as dereliction of their duties and, for some, they believe this is a criminal act.”.

The source says a contract detention facility for ICE in Conroe, Texas, is being paid for housing 600 migrants arrested by Houston ICE Agents. Normally, prior to January, nearly all beds were occupied by migrants awaiting removal from the country. Now, the source says, due to the limitations placed upon them by the Biden Administration, only two beds were being occupied one week ago.

The source says, “That’s over $60,000 we are wasting every day in bed space and meals. It is a perishable commodity that we could use if they would only let us do our job.”

GRAPHIC: Gulf Cartel Dumps Ice Chests with Body Parts in Border City in Mexico

Reynosa Body in Ice Chest
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles

A group of gunmen believed to be with one faction of the Gulf Cartel left at least two ice chests filled with dismembered human body parts in the Mexican border city of Reynosa. Authorities recovered one of the ice-chests, while unknown gunmen absconded with the other one.

The incident took place on Saturday afternoon when residents spotted two ice chests along the Monterrey-Matamoros highway near the Jarachina Norte neighborhood. The ice chests had been tied closed with a piece of rope.

However, by the time authorities responded to the scene, the ice chests were gone. Authorities believe that a group of gunmen picked up the two ice chests before they arrived.

Soon after, authorities responded to another location also along the same highway about a body left next to an ice chest. Authorities arrived to find a dismembered torso next to one ice chest that looked similar to one of the two that had been reported earlier in the day.

While the male victim has not been identified, the current theory points to one of two rival factions of the Gulf Cartel leaving the gory crime scene as a message to their rivals. As Breitbart Texas has reported, two factions of the Gulf Cartel have been actively fighting for years over control of lucrative border areas in and around Reynosa.

Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector apprehended nearly 175 migrants in multiple human smuggling stash house operations over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Agents took the migrants into custody and processed them under CBP guidelines.

On June 1, Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) agent received information about a mobile home being utilized as a human smuggling stash house near La Grulla, Texas, according to information obtained from Border Patrol officials. Agents arrived and found 24 migrants inside the mobile home. Agents identified the migrants as foreign nationals from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico.

On Memorial Day, McAllen Station agents received a call from the Mission, Texas, Police Department regarding a migrant who escaped from a human smuggling stash house. The migrant directed the agents to the stash house where they found 62 migrants inside the residence. Law enforcement officers did not find a “caretaker” inside the home.

McAllen Station agents received information about another smuggling incident on Saturday, officials stated. Agents arrived at the location of the suspected stash house in Alton, Texas, and found nine Mexican nationals inside the home. They transported the migrants to the station for processing.

Later that day, agents received information about a fourth human smuggling stash house located near Escobares, Texas. Troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety teamed up with the agents to investigate and observed several people fleeing from the residence as they arrived. The law enforcement team tracked down and arrested 57 more migrants. Agents conducted immigration interviews and identified the migrants as foreign nationals from Central America, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.

Agents discovered two more human smuggling incidents on Friday. The first, in a residence in La Ferio, Texas.

Cameron County Sheriff’s Office deputies and police officers from the Harlingen Police Department teamed up with the agents to apprehend 11 migrants in the home. They identified those migrants as citizens of Ecuador and Mexico.

The second interdiction of the day occurred in Rio Grande City, Texas, where agents found ten migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

In total, the agents in the RGV Sector stopped 173 migrants from being smuggled into the U.S. interior, officials said.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: 200 Migrants Cross into South Texas on Rafts

ROMA, Texas — On Memorial Day morning, nearly 200 migrants crossed into the United States. As several Army National Guardsmen stood watch, rafts crossed from Mexico carrying mostly family units.

In a steady stream, migrants were suited with flotation vests and loaded onto rafts. Smugglers waded across the river, pulling the loaded rafts until reaching the United States side of the border. The migrants lined the banks of the river, waiting for Border Patrol to escort them to buses.

According to one Border Patrol agent speaking on the condition of anonymity, “This happens every night … the Rio Grande Valley stations will arrest nearly 1,000 before daybreak.”

The smuggling operation was closely coordinated by the river guides to sync with the availability of Border Patrol buses.

Army National Guard troops stationed along the river could do little more than watch and illuminate the area for the migrants to exit the river.

El Chapo's alleged top money launderer extradited to face conspiracy charges in US

El Chapo’s alleged top money launderer has been extradited to the U.S. from Mexico in connection with an investigation into the Sinaloa Cartel’s finances and drug trafficking, according to the Department of Justice.

Juan Manuel Alvarez-Inzunza, 39, is accused of helping the cartel move hundreds of millions of dollars a year in profits from cocaine and methamphetamine out of the U.S. and into Mexico.

He had been in Mexican custody since March 2016. U.S. Marshals flew him from Mexico City to San Diego Wednesday ahead of his arraignment the following morning, authorities said.

EL CHAPO'S WIFE ARRESTED ON DRUG TRAFFICKING CHARGES

"International drug kingpins and money launderers who profit by shipping narcotics into our community are not safe from prosecution," said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. "We will work with our international partners to bring them to justice wherever they reside."

Alvarez-Inzunza faces charges of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, conspiracy to distribute cocaine intended for importation, conspiracy to import cocaine and methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine.

Mexico’s Federal Police arrested Alvarez-Inzunza, who was nicknamed "King Midas," while he was vacationing in Oaxaca, outside the cartel’s territory and without his usual security, according to El Pais, a Spanish newspaper.

Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the Sinaloa Cartel’s longtime leader, was sentenced to life in federal prison in 2019 for his role atop the international drug-smuggling ring.

As Mexico’s most powerful drug lord, he ran a cartel responsible for smuggling mountains of cocaine and other drugs into the United States during his 25-year reign, prosecutors said in court papers.

Under Guzman’s leadership, the Sinaloa cartel – one of the world’s largest drug trafficking organization – was responsible for multiple murders and smuggling mountains of cocaine and other drugs into the United States. Prosecutors also previously said his "army of sicarios," or "hit men," was under orders to kidnap, torture and kill anyone who got in his way.
