Public Displays of Podophilia

In our secular age it is curious when a popular activity is attributed to religious motives.  This is the case with the “washing of the feet.”  It is explained, “The washing of feet is a religious rite observed by various Christian denominations based of Jesus Christ’s commandment that his followers should wash one another’s feet, following his example, and to express humility and love.”  It is quite possible that there was another motive behind this “washing of the feet” behavior. 

This took place in Cary, North Carolina. Members of the Legacy Church Center, led by co-pastors Faith Wokoma and her husband Soboma Wokoma organized a unity prayer walk.  People gathered, observed eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence to mark how long officer Derek Chauvin allegedly had his knee on George Floyd’s neck.  Chauvin has been convicted of murder in the court of public opinion.  At the conclusion of this walk at least three white law enforcement officers and three other white attendees washed the feet of black pastors Faith and Soboma Wokoma.  This is described as "following the Christian ritual that expresses love and humility."  Video of the ceremony was shared to Facebook where it went viral.  Comments suggested, "This is how racial healing starts," and this was a "powerful display of what reconciliation looks like." 

It would be unnecessary and somewhat distasteful to detail Sigmund Freud's description of podophilia, a pronounced sexual interest in feet. It should be enough to explain that it is not an uncommon disease.  The current protests are an excellent opportunity illustrate 

Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is more discreet in his efforts to get close to the objects of his affection.  Cathy washed the feet of rapper Lecrae at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.  Cathy suggests white people should find black strangers, go up to them, and shine their shoes to show repentance for their sins of racism.  “Whether they got tennis shoes on or not — maybe they got sandals on — it really doesn’t matter. But, there’s a time in which we need to have some personal action here. Maybe we need to give them a hug, too."  In the age of polar bear hunting this could get interesting as well as educational.  What self respecting Black man would tolerate some wierd-axx cracka fondling his feet.

Cathy claims by shining shoes, white Americans can express shame, embarrassment, humility and contrition.  Why are white Americans expressing shame, embarrassment, humility and contrition?  Are there any living slave owners?  We are all guilty of various failings, but they are personal failings.  To confess guilt for slavery, colonialism or the crusades is to make a claim to power that no one has.  The level of obsequiousness is truly pathological.  This pathology would be a problem for individuals.  When it is widespread on a national level it can only lead to disaster.

Corporate Contributions to Radical Causes

Virtually every major corporation has contributed to Black Lives Matter, Antifa or other "social justice" organization.  Most corporations that have refused to contribute have been quickly brought to heal with much groveling.  There are very few holdouts.  Not all corporate donors are convinced progressives.  Contributions are a great way to advertise a corporation's virtue and prevent vandalism or boycotts.  Celebrities lead the pack of virtue signalers.  Chrissy Teigen has donated $200K to "bail out protestors."  George Clooney donated $500K to the Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to helping the legal cases of unjustly-charged people.  This has resulted in transfer of an enormous amount of money.  Bank of America has pledged $1 billion to address racial and economic inequality.  YouTube will donate $1 million toward social justice initiatives while the CEO of Uber said his company would be donating $1 million to two criminal justice reform groups. Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook would donate $10 million toward groups fighting racial inequality.  Disney announced it is donating $5 million to organizations that "advance social justice"  It is unlikely that vast amount of this money will be spent on defending "peaceful" protestors.  The New York Times has reported the Minnesota Freedom Fund has "dispersed approximately $200,000 of the more than $30 million raised."

Dozens of "nonprofits" have lined up to provide assistance to those arrested and receive financial assistance. They all have innocuous sounding names. Progressives have experience choosing harmless sounding names from the days of the Communist front organizations. Many of them have radical agendas that Deep State Media (DSM) have attempted to conceal.  Antifa is described by Wikipedia as an activists group "engaged in protest tactics . . . sometimes involving property damage, physical violence and harassment, against fascists, racists and those on the far-right."  Perhaps store owners, many of them Black are "far right."  Black Lives Matter (BLM) is described as "an organized movement dedicated to non-violent civil disobedience in protest to alleged incidents of police brutality."  Violence in these riots is downplayed.  Mastercard, has saluted BLM. "We hear the call that Black Lives Matter, and we wholeheartedly agree," the company said in a June 4 statement.  Perhaps they did not hear the calls, “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry 'Em Like Bacon!” and “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!”

With fires raging behind them the DSM reporters announce that the "protests" are mostly peaceful.  Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan stated that in the city, there are four blocks that are “more like a block party atmosphere” and “We could have the summer of love.”  The radical nature of these extremist groups is becoming increasingly obvious to the public.  The DSM and these corporations will claim they were misled and did not really want to fund the destruction of the United States.  However, the CEOs and media executives did not fall off the banana boat yesterday.  They are perfectly aware of the violent policies of these radical groups.  A pathetic attempt has been made to attribute the violence to Russians and White supremacists.  Susan Rice suggested the Russians were be behind the violence while Gov. Tim Walz observed that it was White supremacists.  His belief was bolstered by a new FBI intelligence bulletin.  This bulletin was sent to local law enforcement by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center.  It claims White supremacists and racist domestic terrorists pose the greatest threat of violence in the United States.  The document only mentions the existence of Antifa once in a footnote. 

Are these organizations "dedicated to non-violent civil disobedience"?  Hawk Newsome, Chairman of BLM's Greater New York chapter believes his group can lead the 'war on police'.   He aims to develop a highly-trained 'military' arm to challenge police brutality.  We have black Special Forces officers advising us, and we will teach and train people in our communities." Perhaps this is related to President Obama's call for "a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."  Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors claims, “We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.”

In many cases these radical groups are being assisted by local government officials.  Few mayors are as incompetent as Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake who announced during the 2015 "protests", “we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.”  When a 911 operator in Columbus, Ohio said “We were told by our mayor to stand down, so the mayor has given them full range of the street," the police and the mayors office were quick to deny it.  A dispatcher in Fredricksberg, VA told a terrified 911 caller, "We can’t do anything, ma’am.  The city told us that this is a sanctioned event."  It is difficult to understand how jumping on a woman's car and screaming obscenities at a little girl furthers social justice.  Seattle is being sued for assisting the rioters.  The city provided barriers, portable toilets and medical equipment.  Aid to the rioters was given even before the death of George Floyd.  New York City released over 2,650 criminals from prison to protect them from the pandemic. Los Angeles County released about 5,000 criminals.  Massachusetts freed 1,000 criminals and Illinois freed around 4,000.   Illinois released 146 sex offenders including 3 considered “sexually dangerous persons.”  Dallas released 1,000 criminals.  Once the riots started most of the looters and rioters arrested by the NYPD were immediately released.  Nearly all rioters have been freed from jail in Washington, D.C. and most have had felony riot charges dropped against them.  Why should police risk their lives and careers to arrest people who will be immediately released.  This will become much more interesting.

Take a Knee, Wash a Foot, Kiss an . . .

The photo opportunity arranged by Nancy Pelosi of Congressional member "taking a knee" has been well publicized.   Less well known is the pre photo op movement initiated by the German Imperial Knight Götz von Berlichingen and popularized by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in his piece "Leck mich am Arsch."  We have not progressed this far but patience is advised.

  

The recent popularized knee taking was initiated by the football player Colin Kaepernick as an act of defiance.  This has morphed into an act of submission by white progressives as a demonstration of virtue signaling.  Christopher Wray's FBI gave an impressive show of force all knees bowed.  Apparently the FBI is down with the struggle:  "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!"  New York's top uniformed cop Chief Terence Monahan also took a knee in solidarity with protesters.

   

In Webster, Massachusetts, members of the police department, icluding Chief Michael Shaw, lie face down as encouraged by a group of Black Lives Matter activists.

 The CEO of Chick-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, has suggested white people should find black strangers, go up to them, and shine their shoes to show repentance for their sins of racism.  Cathy also said, “Whether they got tennis shoes on or not — maybe they got sandals on — it really doesn’t matter. But, there’s a time in which we need to have some personal action here. Maybe we need to give them a hug, too."  This might appear to be a satire, however, there are photographs of Cathy shining Rapper Lecrae's shoes.

The next example is getting closed closer to the Berlichingen demand.  White police officers and community members wash the feet of black faith leaders in Cary, North Carolina to 'express humility and love'.  At least three white law enforcement officers and three other white attendees washed the feet of pastors Faith and Soboma Wokoma.  It was explained that, "The washing of feet is a religious rite observed by various Christian denominations based of Jesus Christ’s commandment that his followers should wash one another’s feet, following his example, and to express humility and love." However,  Faith and Soboma Wokoma did not reciprocate.

All of these activities are based on white guilt, a frame of mind fostered by the media and educational establishment for decades.  No one is alive today who was responsible for anti-bellum slavery.  There are, however, still some progressives alive who fostered the Twentieth Century slave trade.  Anyone familiar with the Yalta Agreement knows about the slave labor provisions agreed to by the Roosevelt administration.  The few survivors of this unfortunate agreement have requested compensation without results. 

Talentless entertainers are entitled to feel guilt.  Multimillionaire and billionaire CEOs may feel guilty because they believe they are receiving unearned income.  Working class people have an entirely different perspective.
