Quote:There was a violent protest at the Department of the Interior on Thursday with environmental activists trying to occupy the building and clashing with police.

Dozens of people made it into the Stewart Lee Udall Main Interior Building. Others fought with the police to keep the door open to get more of their people in.

Officers trying to keep them out had “multiple injuries” as a result of the violence from the activists and one officer had to be taken to the hospital according to the Department of the Interior. The officers also reportedly had to taser some of the protesters to keep them back.

I don’t know about you, but when I look at these videos, it looks pretty ‘insurrection-like’ to me.

Contrary to the description on the tweet, this looks like they were shoving the police pretty hard.

Dozens of people got inside, sat on the floor and tried to occupy the area. They claimed they had “occupied the Bureau of Indian Affairs,” which is an agency within the Interior Department. They also issued a statement referring to the 1972 occupation of the BIA, where some 500 to 800 Native Americans walked inside the building and refused to leave for six days.

But this didn’t last as long.

The group also vandalized the outside of the Department of Commerce building by spraying fake oil on the front steps.

They want the Biden Administration to end all fossil fuels and have banded into a bigger coalition dubbed Build Back Fossil Free.

55 people were arrested in the incident. This was part of a five day effort against various targets in D.C. to push their agenda.

So I’m curious where the left and media’s condemnation of this violent action is? It seems to be missing.

I also find the reaction from the Department of the Interior to be pretty muted, especially given multiple officers being hurt here.

Listen to the words of the agency spokesperson, Melissa Schwartz.

“Interior Department leadership believes strongly in respecting and upholding the right to free speech and peaceful protest,” Schwartz said in a statement. “It is also our obligation to keep everyone safe. We will continue to do everything we can to de-escalate the situation while honoring first amendment rights.”

It sounds almost like she’s apologizing. Where’s the condemnation of the violence and injuring the officers? Shouldn’t the attitude be more ‘While you have a right to protest, nothing justifies using violence on the officers and there are ways to peacefully protest.’

This reaction from officials and media also seems far different from the reaction to the Capitol riot.

Where’s CNN’s Don Lemon to weigh in on this and tell us how bad it is to storm a federal building?

I’m also guessing that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) isn’t going to weigh in on this and talk about how fearful it made her, despite not being in the same building.

Suspend "Due Process" for them just like was done to other protesters earlier this year.

Did AOC shed any crocodile tears and claim she feared for her life, or was she too busy enjoying the fruits of capitalism while simultaneously denouncing it?

The Chinese Communist Party is Behind a U.S. ‘Climate Change’ Activism Conference.

Quote:Chinese Communist Party-linked foreign influence group sponsored a climate change conference seeking to mobilize youth advocates in America, the National Pulse can reveal.

The entity sponsoring the recent conference, the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), is part of Beijing’s “United Front” effort, which the U.S. government identifies as seeking to “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and “influence foreign governments to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing.”

CUSEF’s website notes that it “sponsored” the Sino-American Youth Dialogue on Climate Change, carried out in collaboration with two schools: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Tsinghua University.

“Co-hosted by Tsinghua University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Sino-American Youth Dialogue on Climate Change (SAYD) will be held in October 8, a month prior to COP26. The aim of the event is to offer a platform for young people from China and the U.S. to put forward ideas and suggestions for the COP26 to address climate change and sustainable development,” CUSEF explains before posing the following questions to attendees:

What should governments do to confront climate emergency?

How should businesses develop sustainability strategies to achieve net zero emissions?

What are the actions that we, as individuals, could do to reduce wastage and gas emissions?

The conference explicitly seeks to mobilize youth activists, as its theme is “making carbon neutral, youth in action.”

“Through discussions and sharing among youth delegates and field experts, the forum hopes to reach consensus on the issue and form valuable policy recommendations,” the conference’s website adds.

Among the event’s speakers were CUSEF founder Tung Chee-hwa, Chinese Communist Party officials, and presidents from both MIT and Tsinghua University. Tsinghua University’s involvement in the conference also follows the school reportedly launching cyberattacks against the U.S. government and having a “clear connection” to the Chinese government on issues of technology and national security according to the U.S. State Department.

The school is the alma mater of regime leader Xi Jinping and hosts a “Marxist” journalism school, training the next generation of Chinese state-run media propagandists with the assistance of the New York Times, CNN, and others.

“We should be committed to a firm and correct political orientation. Our School has been actively exploring the theory and practices of Marxist Journalism, namely, to applying the Marxist theory in observing the world, selecting and handling news production,” the dean’s introduction letter reads.

I think Cruz or maybe Jordan or one of them ought to pull the otherwise childish move and send out a twitter about almost being murdered.

Thank you AOC for almost getting me murdered... haha
