We’re Looking at a War on the Population

Tucker Carlson, Fox News, September 13, 2022

Imagine dystopia. You hear that word frequently. What does it mean? Picture it in your mind’s eye. Dystopia is a world where the police will not protect you. They refuse. And at the same time, you are not allowed to protect yourself. So, who does that leave in charge? Who runs a world like that? Well, young men with guns. They’re in charge— the cruelest and most violent element of any society, the people with the least to lose, the shortest time horizons, the shallow reservoirs of impulse control. People like that have all the power.

You have no power and that means that everything you have is theirs. That’s the end of civilization. It exists in pockets around the world, Mogadishu, famously, but if you think it’s confined to Mogadishu, you haven’t been to Chicago lately. This past Friday, just before noon, a 30-year-old man called Ryan King walked out of a gym in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. Bucktown is a former Polish enclave just west of Lincoln Park. That’s one of the nicest parts of the city. Real estate websites describe Bucktown as young and hip, a place where recent college graduates who can pay above average rents might live. It’s where your kids might live with their friends as they start their first jobs. That’s how most people think of Bucktown, people who haven’t been there recently.

But local news accounts suggest a very different reality. “Shots fired during Bucktown robbery. Man shot during robbery attempt in Bucktown. Bucktown couple shares account of armed robbery” and so on and on, many stories like this. Ryan King probably wasn’t thinking of armed robbery as he walked out of the gym on Friday. It was broad daylight. It was a weekday, but then a car pulled up right next to him. Three young men jumped out and stuck a gun in his face. {snip}

{snip} So, what happened next? Well, according to reporting by CWB Chicago, just minutes after Ryan King was threatened with death for daring to walk outside in his own neighborhood, Chicago police spotted the gunman’s vehicle, but there was nothing they could do about it. Their supervisor ordered them not to pursue it, so the criminals just drove off and, of course, they committed more violent crimes.

In the hours after Ryan King was attacked, 16 more armed robberies were reported in the area. Police believe at least two organized armed gangs are operating with impunity around Bucktown, which means the gangs are in charge now. That’s what the collapse of civilization looks like. But it’s now normal in Chicago. According to data from the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper last year, police made arrests in just 12% of reported crimes. That’s the lowest level recorded in Chicago history and that is what it means when politicians hand control of a city to criminals. “Here. you run it.”

In Chicago right now, taxpayers are more likely to be the victims of crime than criminals are to be punished for it. So, the question is, why would anyone in Chicago pay taxes? You’d have to be a masochist to do that and pretty soon only the masochists will be.

So, how did this happen? It’s no mystery. There are many threads, but George Soros is a big one. Soros paid for this to happen. Soros backed a prosecutor called Kim Foxx, who turns Chicago over to the most vicious people who live there—not the decent, good people in all neighborhoods—the most vicious, antisocial people, the ones who truly don’t care about others, who are willing to kill people for their shoes or their car, the worst people, and they run things now. {snip}

{snip} The federal government also played a role and you probably didn’t know what was happening. Over the eight years of the Barack Obama administration, the Department of Justice forced more than a dozen police departments around the country to introduce something called “consent decrees.” Chicago was one of them. The Obama administration began an investigation into the Chicago Police Department and they got a consent decree.

Now, all of these decrees took the same form, they pronounced police departments guilty of racism if those departments disproportionately interact with African-Americans, regardless of whether those interactions were legally justified. In other words, the law is entirely irrelevant to the consent decree and so is reality itself. Here’s a line from the DOJ consent decree imposed under Obama against Chicago. “Raw statistics show that CPD (Chicago Police Department) uses force almost ten times more often against Blacks than against Whites.” OK, that’s one data point. It’s not the whole story. It doesn’t begin to tell the whole story. There was no analysis whatsoever about whether the use of force in these specific cases was justified, none. So, this is not science. They may have graphs. It’s not science. It’s some kind of crazed race ideology. It’s the equity agenda and in effect and this, of course, was the intended effect, these consent decrees have been a disaster for the people of these cities.

Even in New Orleans (whose mayor as we’ve told you many times has driven that city, that beautiful city which is worth saving, right into the sewer), even the Democratic mayor of New Orleans said recently, and we’re quoting “the consent decrees handcuff our officers.” That’s an understatement. At this point, New Orleans is essentially out of police officers. The median police response time in New Orleans to 911 calls is over two hours. Imagine armed people in your home. You call the police, two hours. A lot can happen in two hours. That’s the total collapse of civilization.

There’s no reason to have a government if the response time is two hours. Buy your own guns, establish your own order. That’s all going to be very soon. On a recent Friday night in that city, New Orleans, one third year officer called Scott Fanning just quit mid-shift. Here’s how he described it. “That night I quit. There were over 40 calls holding when I logged into my computer, but there were only 35 patrol officers logged in for all eight districts in the city. Some nights there has literally been one person” in a big, dangerous city.

But it’s not just New Orleans. All over the country, police officers are quitting and they’re not being replaced.

And now politicians are just admitting it out loud in a lot of places. They’ve decided just legalize crime. Here’s the mayor of Orland Park, Illinois, Keith Pekau, describing the state’s new “SAFE-T” Act. Watch this.:

ORLAND PARK MAYOR KEITH PEKAU: As of January 1, 2023, the following things will go into effect and people need to be aware of this. It abolishes cash bail for almost every offense. This includes but isn’t limited to kidnaping, armed robbery, second degree murder, drug induced homicide, aggravated DUI, threatening a public official and aggravated fleeing and eluding and keep this in mind, businesses and homeowners: officers will no longer be able to remove trespassers from your residence or your businesses.  

So, how is this working exactly? Is it such a Low-T country that no one’s going to do anything about this? Politicians in Illinois just legalized violent crime against you, and no one’s done anything about it. A lot of these people are going to be reelected in November. {snip}

So, the reason they’re doing this is because they didn’t like the demographic breakdown of the people who were getting arrested for crimes. Period. “This can’t be happening.” Therefore, they’re just going to redefine it away. It was ideologically inconvenient for them. So, the solution is to just legalize murder and kidnappings and trespassing and at the same time, you are not allowed to notice that an awful lot of these cases appear to be (it’s hard to know and you never want to think it), but they appear to be motivated by racial animus. They do. That’s just true. Again, no one wants to think that, but there are so many videos of it. Consider the horrific attack, really an attempted murder on a student at West Brook High School in Beaumont, Texas, really recently beaten and nearly killed in a bathroom at school. {snip}

That just can’t be allowed in a civilized country. We cannot allow that or anything like it to happen in our country. This is more important than anything else that’s happening because that’s someone’s child, but everyone just stands by in our country and lets it happen and in that video in the men’s room, everyone stood by and just filmed it, snickered. The attacker, of course, is a repeat offender. He’d already been busted, went to jail. They put him back in school and that’ll happen again. You’ll never know his name. He’s a juvenile attacker, so he has a right to go to school. What about the other kids in school? They have no rights. So, that means the bathroom at that school in Beaumont, Texas, which is in the United States, is a pretty civilized place, you can’t go there anymore. That’s equity.

Having trouble eating out, too? Restaurants are suddenly out of control. Anyone noticing this? Here’s footage of a robbery at a restaurant in Los Angeles from May. {snip}

Then there’s this. This is from Providence. This broke out recently, this scene at a place called Mi Sueño Restaurant, completely out of control. {snip}

{snip}

So, these crimes are so appalling. They’re attacks not just on individuals, but against civilization and humanity itself, that they at this point really do require an immense and organized nonviolent civil disobedience campaign. So, just pick one of those videos at random. Who’s the prosecutor with that person out, refused to charge them in the first place? Who’s the politician who decided that attacker had more rights than the old lady he was beating up?
