Every so often it’s fun to check in at the Anti Police-Terror Project and see what’s going in Crazytown. These are not good times for Cat Brooks and her merry band of cop haters. With public opinion having turned completely around now that people realize the cops are on their side, poor APTP is starved for attention, funding and even purpose. The media has largely stopped covering Brooks, thank God; the San Francisco Chronicle, which for years embarrassed itself by its brown-nosed fawning, seems to have lost her phone number.

I have written previously how the woke left uses the words “racism” and “racist” to denigrate their political opponents and obfuscate the left’s real political aim, which is the total domination of America by racialized bureaucrats. Calling their opponents epithets such as “racist” is akin to the old question, “When did you stop beating your wife?” There’s no correct response, no defense. Whatever you say or don’t say, you’re guilty.

My mailbox (I mean my physical Post Office mailbox, not my email inbox) has been flooded lately with flyers opposed to Gov. Newsom’s special election on redistricting, Proposition 50. They all have similar message­s—“Let’s protect California’s redistricting process” and “Gerrymandering is wrong—no matter who does it.” But they’re from different senders. One says “Paid for by Right Path California.” Another says “Paid for by Protect Voters First, Sponsored by Hold Politicians Accountable.” So I decided to learn what I could about these supposedly grass-roots organizations.

It’s worth noting, as we approach the fifth anniversary of Oakland’s Encampment Management Policy (EMP), that almost every element of that policy, which the City Council unanimously approved on Oct. 20, 2020, has never been implemented, or else has been interpreted by the City Council in such a way as to nullify it.

The entire premise for the existence of the woke left is that racism has indelibly scarred our country, and the business of politicians is to un-do it as quickly and radically as possible. Indeed, without this assumption, the left would have no agenda, no purpose or raison d’etre.
