#CovingtonGate: We Are Entering The Real CIVIL WAR 2.0
#CovingtonGate is the most extreme culture war battle we have ever seen. Never before have so many far leftists, celebrities, news outlets, joined in a campaign against kids.Even after thousands of high profile blue check personalities called for action against the Covington Catholic kids Twitter has done NOTHING. If this behavior is acceptable we can only assume it is about to get as bad as it could get.Nathan Phillips has lied repeatedly about what happened, and now activists are using old photos and out of context videos to try and justify their mob against these kids.The left is refusing to back down and we can only assume it will get worse from here. We are going to see be entering the real civil war 2.0

Over the past couple years, I've talked about street violence and the coming civil war.
And for the most part, the way I kind of frame it is, do I really think there will be a civil war?
Probably at some point.
It's not going to be what we expect.
It's not going to be like it was in the 1800s.
It may not even be street battles.
We don't know.
But we're in some kind of cultural civil war right now, and I think it's going to get extremely, extremely dangerous at some point.
We've already seen people arrested planting bombs on statues.
We've already seen street violence.
We've seen people being labeled terrorist groups.
Today, it just seems like we're kind of in a recruiting phase.
Both sides are taking up arms and preparing.
Following the Covingtongate scandal, people came out in the news and said, you know what, maybe we got this one wrong.
But because the left, those who hated these kids simply for that smug look on his face, because they lost that media fight, they began to double down.
They're digging up old photos, and a new video has surfaced showing that some kids sitting on a bench in D.C.
may have been yelling MAGA or Build the Wall.
But once again, we have more out-of-context clips, and they're going viral because people don't want to back down, and it doesn't matter.
You actually have one side calling for death and murder, and they're being protected by Twitter, and another side saying, calm down, this is ridiculous.
To me, it seems like we are entering a more dangerous aspect of the culture war, and this may be escalating to a point of actual civil unrest and civil war.
Again, I don't know what it'll look like.
It might not be North versus South.
It could be insurgency.
It could be pockets of violence.
But when one faction openly calls for the death of kids for how they look, and they won't back down.
They defend this.
They refuse to acknowledge the threats.
It says to me this will escalate further, and I've said it time and time again.
Today, let's take a look at the latest news of Covingtongate and possibly the most alarming bit of information in all of this.
is that this might actually be a psychological operation by a foreign government.
I don't want to get conspiratorial, but new evidence suggests the account that actually started this aspect of the culture war may have been a fake account purposefully trying to ignite tensions.

The danger is real.
Covington Catholic High School closed today to ensure the safety of its students, officials say.
Officials have canceled school and activities for students at Covington Catholic High School Tuesday, citing safety concerns.
The decision was announced in a school-wide call to parents from Covington Catholic Principal Rob Rowe.
Rowe said the decision comes after meeting with local authorities about the safety of students, faculty, and staff following a controversy surrounding video showing the students in an encounter with Native Americans at a rally near the Lincoln Memorial.
I've made several videos about this.
The Native Americans lied.
The kids?
Sure, they looked smug.
They were acting like dumb kids.
The Native Americans claimed they were chanting, build the wall.
They weren't, at least as far as we can tell.
No one yelled anything about Trump or building the wall in that crowd in that initial encounter.
The Native American man claimed that they surrounded him.
The initial tweet That made this story go viral, claimed these young Trump supporters sought out the indigenous march, surrounded these people and got in their face.
This was entirely fake news being pushed by activists.
And as we now understand it, it's actually a bot account.
This is probably the scariest thing I've heard in all of this.
This is being orchestrated by someone for some reason, and it's going to result in death and violence, and it's destabilizing our culture.
From CNN.
Twitter suspends account that helped ignite controversy over viral encounter.
The account claimed to belong to a California schoolteacher.
Its profile photo was not of a schoolteacher, but of a blogger based in Brazil.
CNN business found.
Twitter suspended the account soon after CNN Business asked about it.
The account, with the username 2020fight, was set up in December 2016 and appeared to be the tweets of a woman named Talia living in California, teacher and advocate fighting for 2020, its Twitter bio read.
Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers.
Late on Friday, the account posted a minute-long video showing the now-iconic confrontation
between a Native American elder and the high school students, with the caption,
This MAGA loser gleefully bothering a Native American protester at the Indigenous Peoples'
March. That version of the video was viewed at least 2.5 million times and was retweeted
at least 14,400 times, according to a cached version of the tweet seen by CNN Business.
Rob McDonough, an assistant editor at Storyful, a service that vets content online,
was monitoring Twitter activity on Saturday morning and said the 2020 fight video
was the main version of the incident being shared on social media.
In one indicator of the 2020 fight's video virality, multiple newsrooms, including some national American outlets, reached out to the user asking them directly about the video.
McDonough said he found the account suspicious due to its high follower count, highly polarized, and yet inconsistent political messaging, the unusually high rate of tweets, and the use of someone else's image in the photo.
Mollie McCoo, an information warfare researcher who saw the tweet and shared it herself on Saturday, said she later realized that a network of anonymous accounts were working to amplify the video.
A spokesperson for Twitter told CNN, deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on Twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of the Twitter rules.
This sounds like a psychological operation.
It sounds like potentially a foreign entity was trying to ignite the culture war, and it worked.
But now we're at an impasse.
Personally, I'm not going to stand by as people call for the death of these kids.
By all means, insult them.
By all means, be angry.
But we're seeing a wave of mainstream media outlets, left-wing activists, and celebrities call for action against children.
And I know some people have said children is hyperbolic, they're teenagers.
Sure, we'll call them kids, they're minors.
They're not old enough to vote.
And they're being targeted simply because some kid had a smug look on his face.
A Twitter user, AtHouseShoes, actively called for the death of these kids on numerous occasions.
This is an account that is verified and has 35,000 Twitter followers.
He repeatedly called for people to shoot these kids in response to reporting this.
Twitter received the report.
We can see that this is the number, 010-3519-03, and this is the response received.
010-3519-093 said, There was no violation of the Twitter rules against abusive behavior.
Quite literally.
We've seen people call for the death of these kids over a smug look.
Most people didn't even know what happened.
It's quite possible, based on the initial account that spread this, someone is trying to screw with our country and cause the Civil War to expand.
Last May, The Hill published this story.
Russian-linked Facebook posts targeted fans of Hannity, Black Lives Matter.
Russian trolls meddling in the United States 2016 presidential election promoted content on Facebook that was specifically targeted at fans of Fox News host Sean Hannity, as well as Black Lives Matter supporters.
It's hard to know if stories like this are true, but we have heard it time and time again.
The Russians who are meddling in the United States weren't just targeting Trump supporters.
They were targeting everyone.
They were posting hyperbolic, exaggerated, and partisan content across the board.
Now, some of these accounts probably were just trying to make money.
They were trying to post rage bait to generate revenue because it works.
That's why fake news was so prominent.
Yes, many people were posting right-wing fake news because older people were more likely to share it and it made them money.
But it is true that there are foreign entities, or it is presumed to be true based on all of these stories, that there are foreign entities trying to meddle with our culture and our elections.
We know that recently Democratic operatives staged a false flag against Roy Moore in Alabama.
The New York Times reported this on the 19th of December, that Democratic tech experts, they called it a secret experiment, but what we know is that they called it a false flag, where they flooded Roy Moore's account with fake Twitter followers that looked like Russians, that had Cyrillic alphabet in their profiles.
The media picked up the narrative, it went far and wide, and this caused increasing tensions.
So I don't necessarily know if the problems we're seeing are being caused by foreign entities or by partisan actors within our own country.
But I do believe it's fair to say that there are activists, foreign or domestic, that are actively trying to cause the civil war.
But one thing needs to be said right now that I've tweeted.
It doesn't matter if you think these kids are bad people.
It doesn't matter if you think they're racist or awful.
We should be denouncing any call for violence, death, harassment, and doxing.
Unfortunately.
There are people who refuse to back down, even in the face of death threats.
More, more fake news is being pushed.
Uberfax has 14 million followers and published fake news to exacerbate the situation.
They posted this image where you can see some young people in full black body paint.
This individual has white paint around his lips and eyes as well.
There's a black student seen standing here.
Students from Covington Catholic High School have been allowed to wear blackface at school pep rallies over the last 10 years.
They said this photo was taken from a video that has now been deleted from Covington Catholic High School's YouTube content.
However, it's important to note this is typical of sporting events at what's called a blackout game.
They're wearing black body paint.
In fact, it looks like the white paint on this kid's face is just jester face paint.
This is what jester face paint looks like.
You can just Google it.
You can see the sharp lips curl up.
And you can see paint on the eyes.
It's very, very common.
It exists all over the place.
And this is what blackface looks like.
This individual, Chris Sanchez, says, Well, they actually can't, because blackface includes a white ring around the mouth.
However, this is curled upwards, like a jester.
painted black or wearing blackface. For clarity, the photos can speak for
themselves. Well, they actually can't because blackface includes a white ring
around the mouth. However, this is curled upwards like a jester.
There's also face paint on the eyes, which is not typical of blackface,
and his whole body is painted. Regardless, it's fine if you want to be upset,
but this photo is presumably from 2011.
Why would anyone go back in time seven years to justify death threats against kids who are not in this picture?
Snopes ran this story, which does debunk the narrative, but is still rather confusing.
They said, is this picture from a Covington Catholic high school basketball game?
True, a photograph shows a Covington Catholic high school basketball game with students wearing blackface and or black body paint in the stands.
However, it is not blackface.
Blackface is distinct.
They do bring this up.
At the bottom of the story, they say, based on comments in the Bluegrass Preps message board, the intent of the black body paint was not racial, but instead a school tradition related to blackout games.
In fact, Google search blackout football body paint or any kind of combination and you'll see there are many photos from other events where people have the same black body paint all over their faces and bodies.
It's actually a very normal thing.
For some reason now, they're claiming it's blackface.
But ultimately, that's besides the point.
Why is it being brought up?
It's completely unrelated to this incident.
You could probably go back to any school and find something similar.
Why is Covington standing out in this regard?
There's one more thing we need to address, however.
A new video has surfaced where we can see some of these kids may in fact have been yelling at some point, Maga and Build the Wall.
Though it isn't the same instance, there are some kids that may be related to this event sitting on a bench somewhere.
We just don't know.
A Twitter user by the name of Linz tweeted, The Covington Catholic Boys harassed my friends and I
before the incident with Nathan Phillips even happened.
I'm tired of reading things saying they were provoked by anyone else other than their own egos and ignorance.
And this video has 64,000 retweets, 6.38 million views, and this is what we see.
So you can hear that someone, presumably, it sounds like they did yell,
Maga and build the wall.
However, let's zoom back.
There are some kids sitting on a bench.
This is a different moment.
It's a smaller group of kids.
We don't know what this is.
We don't know who these people are.
I do think it's fair to make an assumption that these kids did eventually find their way to the main group.
However, This is nowhere near the Black Hebrew Israelites or the Native Americans.
This is an unrelated incident, it's an 8 second clip, and we don't know why they're yelling.
It's best not to jump to conclusions.
It's the same thing all over again, no one's learned their lesson.
It's entirely possible those girls yelled something at them first, we just don't know.
I'm not gonna accuse them of wrongdoing, and I don't know why these kids were yelling in the first place.
Is it so wrong that they were yelling MAGA and build the wall?
I...
Don't think so!
I mean, look, people are going to be disrespectful.
That doesn't justify calls for death and violence.
So even if we assume those particular kids on that bench were being awful, that doesn't impugn any of the other kids in that other group because we don't know who they are and we don't know what happened.
64,000 retweets as of right now because they don't want to back down even in the face of death threats.
It's only going to get worse.
But interestingly, the woman who posted that actually has a sordid past herself.
It turns out she's extremely racist.
In a story by Cassandra Fairbanks for the Gateway Pundit, she said,
libs can't stop owning themselves.
The left attempts to push another out of context video clip of Covington boys
from someone with a ton of really racist and homophobic tweets.
In one instance, she said, you will have a gay child.
Her friend responded, even if he's gay, he will be a gay lifter.
Ha ha ha.
Her response?
Well, at least you're looking on the bright side.
Hopefully, it just won't pop out black or Asian.
Extremely offensive and racist.
In another tweet, she talked about how she was going on vacation from Mexicans.
She has many more racist tweets, but I can't post them because I will probably get a strike on this channel.
Where does this leave us?
The story isn't dying, it's only getting worse.
People on the left who hate these kids simply for the look on their face, and I mean it.
It was about the smirk.
They're doubling down, pulling up old photos that have nothing to do with this, taking them out of context, claiming it's blackface when it clearly isn't.
It doesn't matter.
The truth is irrelevant.
The mob will not be satiated.
And this says to me we are entering the actual civil war.
We've gone from some street battles, which may be worse, but the street battles didn't include mainstream celebrities in the mainstream media.
It didn't include calls for burning down schools and targeting Kids.
Just kids who look stupid, aren't even old enough to vote.
We're entering that territory now.
And when evidence comes out that these kids didn't really do anything wrong and it was a nuanced situation, they double down.
They double down in defense of some racist woman.
We don't know what her out-of-context clip shows us.
They double down in defense of someone who's trying to stand in solidarity with the Black Hebrew Israelites, a known racist hate group.
And this is where we are.
Facts don't matter.
And as long as they don't matter, all that matters is the tribal mob emotion.
They know there's calls for death.
Twitter doesn't care.
They want these kids to be hurt.
None of these people actually care about this.
The school had to shut down.
This will accelerate.
It will escalate.
And this is probably the most egregious example I have seen in the culture war.
I have no problem saying, by all means, insult people.
By all means, have your free speech.
But when you can see the left now doubling down on the defense of calls for death of kids, It sounds like we're entering territory where the lines are being drawn very, very quickly.
It's only going to get worse.
I keep saying it's going to get worse, and it keeps getting worse.
