As They Turn To Burning Bibles, Portland Rioters Show Their True Colors
By: Jordan Davidson
The true nature of these people is revealed. Taking down western culture and Christian values has been these fascists goals all along. And they burned American flags right along with those Holy Bibles. These people will take us back to the 1930’s if we let them.

While rioters previously attacked federal buildings, businesses, and even officers, this weekend, they found a new target: Bibles.
A video posted to Twitter on Saturday shows rioters holding Black Lives Matter signs tossing Bibles into a fire. Bystanders stood and watched as the flames licked away at the pages of the books.
“Left-wing activists bring a stack of Bibles to burn in front of the federal courthouse in Portland,” wrote the Twitter user, Ian Cheong, who posted the video.
Later in the Twitter thread, Cheong pointed out that the violent and chaotic nature of these protestors is not correlated with “protesting against police brutality.”
“I don’t know what burning the Bible has to do with protesting against police brutality. Do not be under the illusion that these protests and riots are anything but an attempt to dismantle all of Western Civilization and upend centuries of tradition and freedom of religion,” he continued.
Donald Trump Jr. also commented on the video criticizing it as an escalation of Antifa.
“Now we move to the book burning phase. I’m pretty sure ANTIFA doesn’t actually stand for what they say it stands for. Maybe just remove the anti part of [their] name and it’s perfect,” he wrote.
Other Twitter users acknowledged that burning Bibles confirms what many have thought all along about the riots.
“There is a purpose to this. The protesters are signaling they will dismantle and replace our whole entire narrative,” tweeted another user.
The Portland riots have been raging since George Floyd’s death in early May, even before “the ramped-up federal presence.” While many have claimed that these riots are “largely peaceful,” “gunfire, arson, stabbings, and other violence followed rioters” well through Saturday morning.

Burning books...just like their national socialist heroes.
The liberals I know would no more burn the bible than they would burn any other work of fiction.
Burning books has always been a far right wing christian thingy.
I recall Christians burning their Beatles albums when John Lennon mentioned that the band seemed to be more popular than Jesus.
I see a historical trend. Far right wingers tend to burn whatever scares them.
Did they burn any Korans?
No, of course not. You can tell because CNN and MSNBC aren't upset about it.
Probably because it didn't happen.
The far right wing propagandists have become particularly practiced in staging false front events. The fake planned parenthood video is a case in point.
The Qanon mindset comes to Newstalkers...
The far right wing Qanon folk have been here for quite awhile.
Try again. Your are bungling your conspiracy theories.
I had to give you a thumbs up. Your refusal to be bound by reality is pretty amusing.
As there are some NT'ers who aren't impervious to facts, recognize objective reality and don't like looking like fools by perpetuating discredited conspiracies, I'll provide some edification.
Contrary to your statement, Project Veritas had nothing to do with the Planned Parenthood videos. But that's not even your most egregious error.
When the videos were released, Planned Parenthood quickly paid the infamous crowdstrike to issue a press release claiming the video had been edited. Democrats, and their allies in the media, then quickly and unquestioningly adopted and pushed that narrative. It's their favorite play in their playbook that we've seen time and time again. Covington, Michael Brown, the dossier etc.... Push out a lie and trust their gullible supporters will unquestioningly accept it and their friends in the media will amplify it without bothering to investigate. CNN and its ilk have an agenda, and reporting reality is not it.
But the story didn't end there. The videos became a central piece of evidence that Texas used to defund Planned Parenthood. And guess what happened? The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals noted Planned Parenthood could not show any deceptive editing and the State proved the authenticity of the videos. The vaunted "experts" relied on in the media to create the lie became silent when they had to testify under oath.
So, as a matter of law, the videos were not "fake" or "deceptively edited." This has been pointed out numerous times, but reality plays no part when progressives want to cling to a narrative.
Of course not!
Why?
Because its Christians that are the most persecuted minority in the U.S.--- hardly Muslims! Here's proof:
Anti-Christian Bigotry Is The Last Acceptable Prejudice
Burning the Bible or the flag is a pointless act of stupidity. In both cases the protestors are alienating the American people from their cause.

How was this "off topic" ? It was directly related the the above seed.
This article is pure hysteria. There were a couple of idiots that burned bibles and a flag, that's it.
All right I'll give you that but it still was not "off topic".

It looks like a reporter tweeted that a Bible was used to start a fire. The video of the initial event shows a book that may be a Bible, but it looks too thin, and the overall dimensions don’t seem to work for a Bible. There’s no indication that a “stack of Bibles” was ever used. The fire is set by two people, and put out by yellow clad members of the group Moms United for Black Lives Matter.
This possible Bible burning has exploded into a major cultural event on right-wing websites — Leftists are attempting to destroy American culture by burning large numbers of Bibles. That is simply not what happened. Conservatives seem to have their “clutch pearls’ sensitivity permanently set to 11. Conservatives need to calm down. Even if the book was a Bible, it’s one Bible, and two people possibly making a statement.
Looks like this is Russian misinformation. It's exaggerated troll farm stuff, meant to make it look like a much bigger deal than it really was.
From the NYT:
From the Independent:
The Russians want to sow chaos before the election again. Try not to just blindly accept crap like this, especially when it originates from a Russian state-owned media outlet.
For as long as America's enemies specially craft such ugly harmful divisive propaganda and rank misinformation they will have their willing dupes who gladly spread it on American social media.
