Synopsis

The George Floyd riots that have precipitated great changes throughout American society were not spontaneous events. Americans did not suddenly rise up in righteous anger, take to the streets, and demand not just that police departments be defunded but that all the structures, institutions, and systems of the United States—all supposedly racist—be overhauled.The 12,000 or so demonstrations and 633 related riots that followed Floyd’s death took organizational muscle. The movement’s grip on institutions from the classroom to the ballpark required ideological commitment. That muscle and commitment were provided by the various Black Lives Matter organizations.This audiobook examines who the BLM leaders are, delving into their backgrounds and exposing their agendas—something the media has so far refused to do. These people are shown to be avowed Marxists who say they want to dismantle our way of life. Along with their fellow activists, they make savvy use of social media to spread their message and organize marches, sit-ins, statue-tumblings, and riots. In 2020, they seized upon the video showing George Floyd’s suffering as a pretext to unleash a nationwide insurgency.Certainly, no person of good will could object to the proposition that “black lives matter” as much as any other human life. But Americans need to understand how their laudable moral concern is being exploited for purposes that a great many of them would not approve.

Goodreads review by Brent on October 28, 2021

There appears to be a problem here. Either not enough people are reading this book or even though a lot of people are reading the book, they are afraid to write a review because others might call them names. Both possibilities are sad. I had not even heard of BLM until George Floyd died in the Spring......more

Goodreads review by Leonard on February 15, 2022

This book is a real mixed bag. Although there is good information about BLM and the some of the history of its founders there are also many problems. To start with, the good: The author definitely makes the case that all three of BLM's co-founders were avowed Marxists. Gonzalez also show that the curr......more

Goodreads review by Robert on July 04, 2022

A “must read” for all favoring BLM as meritorious Well researched and clearly laid out are the origins of CT, CRT, and BLM. The baleful impact of supporting seemingly positive efforts to correct societal ills must be understood if progress is to be made.......more

Goodreads review by Tyler on January 01, 2022

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is not the "new" civil rights movement. It is a revolutionary Marxist organization that aims to dismantle the founding principles of the United States and is firmly planted in the revolutionary ideas of the New Left and the Black Liberation Movement.

Quotes

“Mike Gonzalez is a rare combination: brilliant enough to articulate fundamental problems and brave enough to name them. Black Lives Matter is a movement predicated on prevarication, and Gonzalez breaks down its dangerous falsehoods in hard-hitting fashion.” Ben Shapiro, host of The Ben Shapiro Show and author of How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps

“Gonzalez…reveals how these Marxists seek to transform America into something unimagined by the Founders and unrecognizable to most Americans today. His diagnosis of the threat is superbly argued and his wake-up call sorely needed.” Victor Davis Hanson, New York Times bestselling author
