July 13, 2015 (Winston-Salem) — We’re finally able to show images of the well-funded “our Selma” rally and protest march, staged Monday, in conjunction with opening arguments for North Carolina’s “trial of the century,” to determine the merits of the GOP Legislature’s ban on several fraud-friendly provisions embedded in our state’s election laws over more than 100 years of one-party rule. (Scroll to the bottom for links to the video upload.)
The NAACP promoted this march as an invitation for those who want to harness the righteousness of the 1960s civil-rights movement and transfer those feelings in a rage against the movement toward honest elections. This parade had the look and feel of any other parade . . . only with a disturbing militant Marxist flavor to it.
The most radical element in the march carried this banner as their followers jumped up and down and shouted anarchist slogans. As the video will show (Part 1, starting at the 1:54 point), angry people following this banner were one of the largest groups represented in the parade.
The leader (shown center, above) carried the second portable megaphone we observed that day and shouted slogans that elicited angry responses from his followers. Aside from the standard, “no justice–no peace” mantra, his militant challenge-and-reply sloganeering, repeated over and over, went as follows:
Mob: “This is what Democracy looks like.”
Mob: “This is what Democracy looks like.”
Mob: “This is what Democracy looks like.”
Mob: “This is what Democracy looks like.”
Him: “No justice”
Mob: “No peace!”
Him: “No justice”
Mob: “No peace!”
Him: “No justice”
Mob: “No peace!”
Him: “No justice”
Mob: “No peace!”
Him: “What we gonna do?”
Mob: “Shut it down.”
Him: “What we gonna do?”
Mob: “Shut it down.”
Him: “If we don’t get it . . .”
Mob: “Shut it down!”
Him: “If we don’t get it . . .”
Mob: “Shut it down!”
Him: “No justice”
Mob: “No peace!”
(blah blah blah)
Elsewhere . . . Some Churches Show No Fear of Political Activism
Lest any Bible-believing churches decide to form an opposition political movement, they can rely on aggressive litigation from Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. We suppose famed Village Voice author, Nat Hentoff was right: Free speech for me doesn’t necessarily equate to free speech for thee.
Now for some higher resolutions of the individual photos shown in the montages. . .
We counted four portable megaphones. All were nice and new looking.
We wondered how much those things cost.
Keep reading (and scrolling) if you wonder who paid for them.
Religion In Politics . . . “two of Sharon’s “most boogery” subjects.
The “Standing on the Side of Love” propaganda campaign, underwritten by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, functions as an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) corporation that strictly supports Leftist causes. At this NAACP event, the cause was election fraud. Normally the Left attacks 527s as “shadowy,,” but that sort of pejorative characterization only applies when the campaign is for conservative causes.
According to their IRS Form 990, their total 2013 revenue was $11,648,469 in tax-deductible donations and grants. They also have an endowment worth $11,281,318. The 2013 campaigns they supported (with dollar amounts) are as follows:
“Rights in humanitarian crises” ($3,290,106)
“Environmental Justice” ($1,020,496)
“College of Social Justice” ($724,610)
“Protection from unlawful government intrusion” ($591,563)
“Economic Justice” ($536,509)

Among their more interesting grants to outside organizations, they gave $30,390 to The City School in Dorchester, MA, “to provide youth leadership development and social justice programming.” They also gave a paltry $5,000 grant to the NC Council of Churches for “faith communities seeking transparency on torture.”
Fearing similarly funded groups emerging that might oppose such leftist organizations, it’s no wonder the IRS employed Alinsky tactics to target constitutional and Tea Party groups that sought the same sort of tax-exempt status as SOTSOL. According to USA Today, such groups were hit with overly intrusive demands, like “requests for copies of Facebook postings, the content of prayers, political beliefs of members, résumés of board members and dealings with the media.”
Oddly, while the leadership of NAACP and others on that side of the political spectrum spend a lot of time denying the existence of vote fraud, they sure do spend a lot of energy and money to make sure no laws get enacted that might mitigate the risk of vote fraud. In the immortal words of Willie Shakespeare’s Queen Gertrude, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
Back to the parade . . .
Numerous churches joined in to support a continuation of fraudulent electoral processes in NC. Here are some of the ones who carried banners for the struggle.
While it was widely reported that out-of-state unions were supporting this parade (and the nationwide push against honest elections), there were only two union banners on display and the number of people behind the banners was also very small. There is no way of knowing if others from these two organizations might have been disbursed elsewhere in the march.
To hear the disturbing audio led under this banner, click this link to Part 1 of our parade video coverage and fast forward to the 1:50 point. In the background, you will hear an angry mob yelling, “shut it down!” To the uninitiated, the term “workers’ rights” is generally associated with hard-core Marxist groups, but we have yet to determine the origins of the group holding this banner. Also, the group lacked the media savvy to pub their banner in such a position that the news media would be able to read the banner, so we never could get a very clear shot at it.
The man with the black t-shirt (left side of the below image) was the megaphone-wielding vocalist for the “shut it down” parade element:
There were a hodge podge of other groups who voted in solidarity with people opposed to honest elections.
No idea what this is about, but the parade brought out all kinds of folks!
