Or A Purple Revolution?
Historical Context
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement began in 2013 as a result of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February, 2012.
“Alicia Garza, along with Opal Tometi and Patrisse Khan-Cullors, also co-founded Black Lives Matter, a globally recognized organizing project that focuses on combating anti-Black state-sanctioned violence and the oppression of all Black people.”

Flash forward forward to 2020 and we see, what appears to be a very different BLM from those earlier years.
George Floyd tragically died on May 25, 2020 and almost immediately BLM protests were occurring worldwide as reported by NBC on June 9, 2020 (40 countries and 2000 American cities)

So, if anyone felt as I did, within that two week window – we were watching a very coordinated & intentional attack. What initially were peaceful protests escalated so rapidly, we could scarcely blink an eye. Millions of dollars of destruction to personal property and businesses, commencing in Minneapolis, the location where Mr. Floyd had died. Burning, looting and shootings then circled the country, primarily in Democrat states and many scenes initially showed young white males between the ages of 18 and 35 as the perpetrators.
All the MSM provided coverage, day in and day out. We watched four funerals, complete with a gold casket. Democrats taking a knee and wearing Kente cloths, an African tribe associated with slave trading. George Floyd’s family was afforded an audience with the United Nations to discuss policing. Seattle, Washington became a focal point and protesters set barriers around six square blocks declaring themselves the independent nation state of CHAZ or CHOP. The public feeling great empathy for the graphic scenes of Mr. Floyd death, donated millions to the BLM; which was being coordinated via a company named ActBlue. And ActBlue’s administrators were former members of the Underground Movement and the monies were further being redirected primarily to the Democrat Party.
Wait a minute – wait a minute!!!
Who or what was the source of the money? Because three women had the resources to instantaneously coordinate protests in forty countries. I don’t think so.

“WASHINGTON, DC: George Soros has given Black Lives Matter and the Antifa related revolutionary movement more than $100 million dollars. The Soros run Open Society Foundations is on record with giving Black Lives Matter $33 million dollars this year alone.”
July 14, 2020 (Soros is doubling down)
“JTA — Open Society, the foundation founded by liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros, is set to donate $220 million to racial justice groups in the wake of awareness stoked by civil unrest around the issue of police brutality.”
