Report: Leaked State Department Memo Indicates Official Support for BLM Agenda

| May 25, 2021

Poe sends in this report of a leaked State Department memo authorizing shows of support at American consulates the world over in honor of the one year anniversary of the death of George Floyd.

Fair warning, I can’t find more than one source for this article. I’m not familiar with Human Events, but it appears as if they were a print newspaper before going all digital in the 20-teens. The paper dates back to 1944.

From Human Events;

source within the Biden State Department wishing to remain anonymous has shared with Human Events News a document that indicates that all U.S. “Diplomatic and Consular posts” are being encouraged to display shows of support for Black Lives Matter on Tuesday, May 25, the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The memo reads in part, “The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25 and beyond (italics added) We encourage posts to focus on the need to eliminate systemic racism and its continued impact.”

The memo, which is in part a woke statement on social justice, part an apology for U.S. actions, and part an endorsement of all BLM materials, expressly encourages the display of the BLM flag or banner at U.S. facilities (except on the actual flagpole that holds the American flag).

Here’s the supposed full memo.

No flag should ever be allowed to fly over any “Diplomatic and Consular posts” that is not the flag of the United States of America. No BLM flags, no rainbow flags, no other flags. Obama divided the nation, Biden is widening the gap. Helluva job, progressives/liberals/democrats.

With all due respect, they should drop the pretenses and fly their true banner:

If there were ever a good reason for a flag burning
protest it is today. I dare anyone to try it.
Old Glory has been set on fire for decades and there isn’t
a damn thing anyone can do about it. Almost uncontroversal now.
Lets see what happens when someone torches a BLM flag.
I dare anyone to try it.

Burn in Hell George Floyd.

It seems what they always get you on is burning someone else’s flag. As long as you paid for it, the law seems to be ok with you doing what ever you want to any flag.

Devtun

Yeah, State has always been a lefty swamp. I guess we shouldn’t be shocked.

UpNorth

Surprised? Not at all. As Devtun said, State has always been left of Stalin and Mao.

Ret_25X

in fact, Mao won the war to take over China partially due to overt actions of our state dept.

Roh-Dog

And a couple bankster enablers.
Nixon to Clinton to Xiden…who is at the helm?

Martinjmpr

Mao won the war to take over China due to the duplicity, corruption and stunning incompetence of Chiang Kai Shek and his equally venal generals.

China, like Vietnam, is a tar-baby we should have kept our hands off of.

Ret_25X

Actually, Kai Shek was holding his own in the war until our state dept started “advising” him.

You know, commies like Stillwell, Gardner, and the star “China Hand” George Atcheson refused to support the Nationalists after 45 in favor of Mao.

while not getting involved in China might sound great, many of the problems in China were created or amplified by American refusal to counter the Soviets, British, and Dutch starting all the way back in 1890.

Not to mention our need for China to tie down Japanese forces during WW2.

But yeah…staying out of China would have been nice. It’s not like staying out of China had any adverse consequences like Mao and the murder of upwards of 100 million Chinese.

The Other Whitey

Chiang was no saint, but he was no idiot either. He got backstabbed and ratfucked at every turn (not just by commie-loving FDR appointees, either), in consideration of which, I’d say he did pretty damn good. In addition to his domestic unpleasantness, Chiang fought the japs from start to finish, arming his guys with mideival dadao swords when rifles and/or ammo couldn’t be sourced in sufficient supply. Mao, on the other hand, collaborated with them right up until Stalin decided to take a weekend trip down south from Siberia.

And as far as I know, Chiang doesn’t appear to have made a hobby out of raping small children, which is more than can be said for Mao.

Joe McCarthy was right.

Until Margaret Chase Smith mouthed off.
Susan Collins sees herself as the modern day Smith.
And we are stuck with her for another five years.

Here is the Memo WITHOUT BLACKOUTS:

https://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/us-embassies-and-consulates-must-wave-the-blm-flag

Looks as if Shelby V Smith-Wilson drafted the Memo, Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley cleared the Memo and Christina Tilghman approved the Memo for Blinken’s siganture.

Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, who cleared the Memo, is “the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for the Department of State and was the longest serving U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Malta.”

https://www.state.gov/biographies/gina-abercrombie-winstanley/

On 12 April 2021, the U.S. State Department named her the First Chief Diversity Officer, “a position created to make the U.S. diplomatic corps more representative.”

“The appointment is part of the Biden administration’s efforts to put diversity, equity and racial justice at the top of the national agenda after nationwide protests against police brutality and racial bias last year.”

Shelby V Smith-Wilson, who drafted the Memo, “is the Operations Center Deputy Director of the State Department Operations Center, the Secretary of State‘s 24-7 communications and crisis hub based in Washington, D.C. She has 21 years of experience in U.S. diplomacy and national security strategy”.

“In 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo awarded her Operations Center team a Distinguished Honor Award (a distinction usually reserved for Ambassadors) for their exceptional service during the COVID-19 pandemic and complex diplomatic crises in the Middle East and Central Asia.”

Christina Tilghman, who approved the Memo for Blinken’s siganture, “joined the U.S. Department of State as a Foreign Service Officer in 2010. Currently, she serves as the Senior Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs.”

4 minute video of Tucker Carlson addressing the memo with National Review Online’s Deroy Murdock:

“State Department memo encourages diplomats to support BLM movement: rpt- National Review Online’s Deroy Murdock says the administration should focus on US issues instead of turning State Department into ‘PR arm of BLM’ on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight'”

Interesting as to what happened about a year ago (15 June 2020) with a BLM Banner:

Black Lives Matter Banner Hung At US Embassy In South Korea Ordered Down”

https://www.foxnews.com/world/black-lives-matter-flag-in-south-korea-ordered-down

“A massive “Black Lives Matter” banner that had been draped on the outside of the U.S. Embassy in South Korea since Saturday was removed Monday after President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo purportedly complained about it, multiple news outlets reported.”

“The banner was unfurled on the front of the mission building on Saturday. The embassy also tweeted a message in support of the anti-racism movement sweeping across the United States and much of the world following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes.”

“The striking banner, ordered to be hanged by U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Harry Harris, a retired Navy admiral, was seen as a rare display of open governmental support for the Black Lives Matter movement by a Trump appointee.”

“After the banner was ordered down, William Coleman, the embassy spokesman, said Harris’s reason for putting it up was to “communicate a message of solidarity with Americans concerned with racism, especially racial violence against African Americans” but said it was taken down to avoid the “misperception” that taxpayer dollars were used to support an organization.”

Might as well said Anti-Social Korean-Hating Commie Lives Matter as far the ROKs were concerned.

I hope people have been schooled that BLM has not-a-damn-thing to do with “black lives” and is quite antithetical to Americanism.
But using the last few years as a temperature check, ‘pacifically’ the last year, I hold no hope for Classical Libertarianism’s longevity.

Thomas Jefferson wept.

AW1 Rod

A State Dept. “twofer”: the official canonization of Fentanyl Floyd, AND celebration of Burn, Loot & Murder!

Well done, losers!

Roh-Dog

But terroristic threats got that ‘bastard cop’ convicted of murder, ergo Saint Kirby did nothing wrong.
How hard is this for you white devils to understand?!
(I’m waiting for a course correction by the blog’s resident Political Officer)

Sparks

This is so wrong. There should be NO flags flying above American embassies or consulates except Old Glory. No political statements at all.

George Floyd was and still is a loser drug addict. I imagine today will be a commemorative loot, steal and burn day.

KoB

George Floyd, drug and crime free for one whole year now. Let’s celebrate his accomplishment.

Burn Loot and Murder in my AO? I wish a mofo would try.

The Other Whitey

The “9-1/2 minutes of silence” in Minneapolis lasted a little over thirty seconds before it was interrupted by a shooting. Seriously.

Fyrfighter

Sounds appropriate, and not the least bit surprising

The Sex orientation Pride Flag is also now allowed to fly at embassies to serve as a beacon for sexual freedom around the world.

That should draw some fire from the hypocritical theocracies of a particularly violent disposition.

I understand Biden is putting George Floyd in the fake $20 bill.
