History of Black Lives Matter (BLM)

In the wake of the George Floyd death the nation has erupted in rioting, looting, murder, attacks on law enforcement, anarchy, and rebellion. Separated from those who peacefully protested, are the black lives matter (BLM) and Antifa organizations. These organizations do not care about George Floyd or any other black person. They are opportunists manipulating the tragedy of the death of a black man for a political agenda.

Anger is a natural expression against injustice. The emotional and traumatic history of oppression against black people is a reality. Thus, it is understandable that a suppressed and righteous anger arises when injustice occurs. That said, the devil is cunning and knows when we are emotionally triggered, we are vulnerable and easily manipulated. Who can object to the truth of a slogan, black lives matter? No one I know disagrees with this statement.

It is, however, the subtle hidden danger within that we must be on guard. When satan approached Eve in the garden, he was subtle. He appealed to her desires and crafted a lie that twisted the truth. This is how satan gets an advantage of us. In 2 Corinthians 2:11, Paul writes “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us, we are not ignorant of his devices.”  The devil is crafty, and he designs deceptions to pull us away from the love of Christ and the truth of the scripture.

WHO ARE THE FOUNDERS OF BLM?

What do we really know about the BLM movement, who are they, where are the from, what is their worldview? Many are marching and repeating slogans because they THINK it is about justice and fairness. This is a tactical error. BLM is not an organic manifestation spontaneously arising out of injustice against black people. BLM is an organized communist front whose purpose is to overthrow your liberty and cause you to enslave yourself through lies and propaganda.

Based on research, the founders of the organization are three black women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. Two of which are proudly queer.

Alicia Garza - was born in Oakland as Alicia Schwartz. She grew up in Marin County in a mixed-raced and mixed-religion household. Her stepfather was Jewish stepfather and her mother African American. In her teens, Alicia engaged in activism, promoting school sex education about birth control. In 2003, she met Malachi Garza, 24, a transgender man (aka woman) and a community activist. In 2004, Alicia came out as queer to her family. In 2008, she “married” Malachi and took the name Garza. [1]

Patrisse Cullors - is an American artist who identifies as a queer activist and a practitioner of Ifà. She is an advocate for prison abolition in Los Angeles, and a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement. She is “married” to a woman named Janaya Khan who is the founder of BLM Toronto.[2] Cullors openly proclaims that she and Alicia are trained Marxists organizers well versed in ideological theories.

Opal Tometi – the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, and an immigrant rights activist and a strong supporter of socialism. In 2015, she served as an election observer in the Venezuela legislative elections. She praised the socialist dictatorship as “a place where there is intelligent political discourse” during one of the bloodiest years of police brutality in the country.

To review their websites and bio pages, these are strong black women whose works look incredible. On the surface, all the BLM google searches produce articles of glowing accolades, awards, and praise for their work in the black community. These are social justice warriors fighting for the black cause, right? Could this be a trojan horse?

WHAT DOES BLM BELIEVE?

On the BLM website (before they revised it), under the About Us – What we believe tab, they said:

• We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.
• We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.
• We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
• We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered. (Most black women I know are looking for husbands not wives.)
• We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work. (What does that even mean, other than to destroy fatherhood?)
• We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. (God ordained the nuclear family structure – father, mother, and children as an institution in the earth.)
• We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

Based on what BLM believes, their worldview is in direct opposition to the Scriptures. Family and marriage between one man and one woman are institutions created by God, not man. In the beginning, God created them male and female and what He joined together He said let not man put asunder. [3]  Based on their own words, a primary goal of BLM is to destroy the family as God ordained it. One of the most pressing social issue confronting the black community is not white supremacy or racism, but fatherlessness. No father in the home is the result of decades of poisonous policies like social welfare programs and mass incarceration. BLM has no interest in helping black communities and families improve. They are admitted Marxists, CSE/SOGI peddlers, exploiters of black pain, and anti-Christian. According to an ABC News article on June 21, 2020, BLM is about advancing the LGBT agenda.[4] Jonovia Chase, the leader of a community organization of sexual- and gender-minority people of color, said “although Black Lives Matter was "created by queer folks, [cisgender] privilege has taken precedent over gay and transgender people.”  The promotion of sexual immorality permeates the BLM movement.

WHY IS BLM SILENT ON BLACK-ON-BLACK GENOCIDE?

If black lives matter, then why isn’t BLM speaking out against black-on-black genocide? The lives of our children are being cut short by violence and yet no one is confronting the elephant in the room. More of our children are killed by black-on-black crime than by police officers. Over the past 35 years in America, an estimated 324,000 people have been killed by black-on-black crime. 93% of black people are killed by other black people; and for every one black person killed by a white police officer in the U.S. 71 are killed by other blacks.[5] The murder rate in the Bay Area is devastating. In 2019, Oakland had 74 homicides, 47 of those were young people under the age of 35! [6] Our streets run deep with blood and our cities are not safe for our children. Yet, BLM is silent on black-on-black genocide. Because this is about racial divide and not about black lives. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy.[7]

BLM AND DEFUNDING THE POLICE

Defunding the police is a cultural revolutionary goal to create vulnerable communities and a plethora of helpless victims. Gavin Newsom, by the end of August 2020, will have released 18,000 inmates from prison and county jails.[8] Many are infected with Covid19. Thousands of prisoners are released into our communities fully aware that police will not arrest them. What communities do you think will be the most impacted? Communities of color! People in these communities are horrified by this prospect. When the criminals come kicking in your door at night, or robbing you at gunpoint in the parking lot, or burning homes in your neighborhoods or cordoning off the streets (like CHAZ in Seattle) who will you call? Being left to fend for yourselves, early evidence points to a tidal wave of violence and mayhem. And fending for yourself could land you in jail or convicted of a felony under California’s restrictive guns laws. BLM will not be satisfied with defunding; they want complete dismantling or elimination of police.

BLM AND PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Why isn’t BLM protesting and demanding the number one racist killer of black people in America be shut down and defunded? Planned Parenthood has murdered more black people than all the slaves of the Atlantic Slave trade. Between 1525 and 1866 according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived and landed in North America, the Caribbean and South America. Of these 10.7 million Africans only about 388,000 were shipped directly to North America.[9] This small population has grown to 44 million by 2019. This number would be much higher if 20 million black people had not been aborted by Planned Parenthood. Think about it, 900+ black people aborted every day. The KKK could not have killed more black people and they are proud to call Planned Parenthood founder one of their own.

According to the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, genocide is defined as follows: 

"Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group.

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

The objective of Planned Parenthood, under the guise and color of healthcare, is to systematic eliminate black people. In 2012, 79% of Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facilities were located within walking distance of a Black or Hispanic neighborhood. Planned Parenthood heavily targets minority neighborhoods.[10] Ever notice when politicians want to advance an agenda (particularly a destructive one), they use the “poor and minority” as reasons for their cause.

BLM AND COMMUNISM

One must ask, giving the surge of BLM across the country and its coordinated efforts to disrupt and overthrow city governments, who is funding and organizing this widespread anarchy in America?

Fortune 500 companies are fueling and bankrolling a Marxist revolution in America! Companies like UGG, Amazon, Pepsi’s Gatorade, Microsoft, Warner Records, Intel, Xbox and Microsoft Games, and Nabisco and many many more. The donate button on BLM page goes to ActBlue a web-based platform that is funneling an unprecedented amount of cash from individual donors to Democratic candidates.[11] A major funder of BLM is George Soros. A man whose lifelong purpose is dedicated to radically transforming America and bringing all countries under a one world government.

BLM is a communist organization at its roots. It was created by Freedom Road Socialist Organization, who changed their name in 2019 to Liberation Road. This organization is a U.S. Marxist-Leninist group, coming out of the Maoist tradition. Why is this important? Because our young people are caught up in the midst of a “communist cultural revolution.” The lure and siren song of Marxism is like the promise of satan to Eve in the garden – “you shall not surely die.” Marxism promises a utopia where everyone is equal, all races, sexes, genders, orientations, colors, creeds, religions, etc. there is no rich or poor because all things are managed collectively for the good of all people. Sounds wonderful, right? But just like its father, satan, communism offers promises of peace and prosperity but delivers only death and destruction.

One need only read history to know the horrors perpetrated under the utopian promise of social equality and justice. Communism in Europe murdered over 100 million people. [12] Josef Stalin decreed a death penalty for theft of state property; because everything was “collectivized” everything was state property. Millions of Ukrainians starved due to the brutal collectivization of farms, children caught poaching a few ears of corn were shot. Mao Zedong’s cultural revolution and Great Leap Forward in China caused the death of tens of millions through political purges, redistribution of wealth aka land reform, famines, and executions. The Khmer Rouge’s Killing Fields in Cambodia killed approximately 2.2 million people; 1,112,829 of which were executed. North Korea, Africa, Cuba, Venezuela, socialist/communist countries where the people are subjected to terror, torture, starvation, executions, forced labor camps, and political purges. What a wonderful utopia.

Marxist regimes feel entitled to inflict unlimited delusions on their victims, and BLM is perpetrating a deception upon its followers. Communism is rooted in atheism and satanism.[13] In his book, Marx & Satan, Wurmbrand describes the satanic rituals performed by the communist and the demonic tortures performed by men with no conscience or human emotion. Marxism is no ordinary sinful human ideology, it is satanic at its root.[14] Is anyone wondering why churches are being burned down?[15] In Troy, NY, BLM protesters told congregants trying to enter Grace Baptist Church, that the church was "going up in flames tonight" and "Jesus doesn't love you." A witch sat and cast a spell in front of the church.[16]

WHY THE BLM MOVEMENT IS A DECEPTION

Pastor Stephen Broden, describes the BLM deception as “The Communist party’s strategy to use the black community and the poor as a battering ram against “the capitalist system” to fundamentally change America into a leftist utopia.”[17]] Communist have successfully infiltrated the civil rights movement and other legitimate justice organizations. Organizers and leaders of BLM are using the same playbook and strategy of a 1969 group called the “National Welfare Rights Movement.”  The manipulation of black and poor communities is a common strategy that has been used successfully in the 70s, 80s, and 90s to advance the goal of “fundamentally transforming” America. The communist goal of “fundamental transformation” is to replace capitalism with socialism and completely strip us of our Judeo-Christian heritage. These movements of militancy are well organized, planned and executed. The leaders behind BLM are executing a highly sophisticated, exploitative, and manipulative strategy. And the average black person caught up in this “communist cultural revolution” of lie, divide and conquer has no idea. The bible says, “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.”[18]

THE BLM SPIRIT

During the protests, rallies and meetings, BLM performs rituals. Libations are poured to pay homage to ancestral spirits and ancestral names are called to invoke their presence for wisdom and help. Spirits are conjured and transferred onto the crowds during these rituals. (Remember Saul sought a medium to conjure the prophet Samuel from the dead [19]) Divination is strictly prohibited by the Bible.[20] Ifá is a divination system that originated in West Africa and involves rituals of chanting, dancing, calling on deities, magic, and ancestor worship. BLM co-founder, Patrisse Cullors self describes as a practitioner of Ifà, a religious tradition from Nigeria.[21] The black liberation movement within in black churches is embracing a new activism intersecting African spirituality and Christianity.[22]

In the book of Colossians, Paul tells us to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”[23] Can two walk together except the agree?[24] T To walk in agreement with BLM spiritually brings you into agreement with the spirit of anti-Christ. Why do I say anti-Christ? Because Marxism and Ifá are enemies of Christ.

The Israelites were warned over and over not to make covenants or agreements with people who followed and served idols. In 1 John 5:21, the apostle writes – little children, keep yourselves from idols.

BLM exalts race above the Word of God. It brings division in the Body of Christ. The devil is cunning and has hoodwinked people – black and white into accepting a lie. The scripture is clear, God made all nations of men ONE blood.[25]. God did not create “white” people as a superior group, nor ‘black” people as an inferior group. This is an age-old warfare tactic - divide the people into groups and pit them against themselves. The scripture declares a house divided against itself cannot stand. We have allowed ourselves and our children to be indoctrinated into hating America by focusing on her “evil history.”

But do we ever stop to think about America’s good history? America, the land of opportunity and freedom. In America, regardless of age, sex, color, creed, religion, or ethnicity, anyone can achieve success. This fact is evidence by the many immigrants who came to this country and built businesses, became millionaires, and shared their wealth with others around the world. America elected its first black president in 2008, this fact repudiates the myth of systematic or institutional racism. God blessed America because its founders covenanted with God for nation.[26] America is the first in history to establish self-governance where the power of the government rests in we the people. Our Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights separates America from all others. Remember “Our form of government was made only for a moral and virtuous people [27] because  “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom” [28] and “The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.” [29]

GOOD WORKS VS. GOD WORKS

In summary, BLM:

Is founded and operates upon the principles of sexual immorality.

Believes in deconstructing the nuclear family.

Supports gender confusion.

Admits to being trained Marxists with an ideological framework that advances communism.

Supports defunding, and in some cases eliminating, law enforcement.

Offers no solutions to black-on-black genocide (including abortion).

Operates in the spirit of divination aka witchcraft.

A little leaven, leavens the whole lump.[30]

Unfortunately, some Christians support BLM because “they are doing good work to help the community.”  We are not judged according to our good works, but whether we put our faith in Jesus Christ. Many will proclaim to have done good works, some even in the name of God, but the Lord will say depart from me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.[31]

I challenge you to research using the references provided in this article as a starting point. You might agree with some points and disagree with others. This is the beauty of America, we have the privilege, the freedom and the right to disagree.[32] I encourage you to dig deep and look at your findings through a biblical worldview, the ultimate source of truth, the Bible. I urge you to pray and Consider what I say, and the Lord give you understanding in all things (2 Timothy 2:7).
