Illinois Senate Democrats hope you honored Fred Hampton, a violent, revolutionary, Marxist Black Panther – Wirepoints

By: Mark Glennon*

Here is Twitter post by Illinois Senate Democrats from Sunday, the anniversary of Fred Hampton’s death:

Fred Hampton was deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party and chairman of its Illinois chapter. He advocated for violent, Marxist revolution. Among the things Hampton said:

We look at Comrade the Marshall, Marshall Kim Il Sung of Korea as towering far and high above in his social practice as Mao Tse-Tung. If you can relate to that, cool. If you can’t relate to that, walk out with your ass picked clean like the chickens do, you dig?

We gonna criticize you out open because we believe in mass revolutionary criticism. We’re gonna tell you that you’re wrong, because we done had a lot of criticism leveled at us for fucking around with you. You will either be part of the problem or you’re gonna be part of the solution. And if we find out you motherfuckers is part of the problem, we’re gonna start turning the guns on you crazy motherfuckers.

When people ask us about our culture, we say our culture’s guns, baby. Our culture’s revolutionary art, like that… Because you don’t have to call, if your shotgun’s a Browning, you don’t have to give it no African name, because believe me, it shoots the same. You understand? It shoots the same….

We Marxist-Leninist niggers, and we some Marxist-Leninist cussin’ niggers, and we gonna continue to cuss, godamnit. Cause that’s what we relate to, that’s what’s happening in Babylon.

We say that we need some guns. There’s nothing wrong with guns in our community, there’s just been a misdistribution of guns in our community. For one reason or another, the pigs have all the guns, so all we have to do is equally distribute them.

First of all, we say primarily that the priority of this struggle is class. That Marx, and Lenin, and Che Guevara end Mao Tse-Tung and anybody else that has ever said or knew or practiced anything about revolution, always said that revolution is a class struggle.

You don’t know anything about the good that a gun does you, because you never tried one. And we say that if you was born and if you said you didn’t like pears and you never tasted pears, you’d have to be a liar.

For those people who have their feelings hurt by niggers talking about guns, we’ll have a cry-in after the question and answer period. And for those white people that are here to show some type of overwhelming manifestation of guilt syndromes, and want people to cry out that they love them, after the cry-in, if we have time, we’ll allow you all to have a love-in.

We do not want war, but we understand that war can only be abolished through war. That in order to put down the gun, make a man get rid of the gun, it’s necessary to pick up a gun.

The Black Panthers are often credited for philanthropic work like a free breakfast program. Here’s what Hampton said about that:

Some people talk a lot about communism, but the people can’t understand and progress to the stage of communism right away or because of abstract arguments. They say you got to crawl before you can walk. And the Black Panther Party, as the vanguard party, thought that the Breakfast for Children Program was the best technique of crawling that any vanguard party could follow. The Breakfast for Children program. We are running it in a socialistic manner. People came and took our program, saw it in a socialistic fashion not even knowing it was socialism. People are gonna take our program and tell us to go on to a higher level. They gonna take that program and work it in a socialistic manner. What’d the pig say? He say, “Nigger—you like communism?” “No sir, I’m scared of it.” “You like socialism?” “No Sir, I’m scared of it.” “You like the breakfast for children program?” “Yes sir, I’d die for it”. Pig said, “Nigger, that program is a socialistic program.” “I don’t give a fuck if it’s Communism. You put your hands on that program motherfucker and I’ll blow your motherfucking brains out.“

Most of the above comes from a 1969 speech Hampton gave at Northern Illinois University, It’s an exceptional speech in the sense that it reflects an impressive understanding of Marxism for a person only 21 years old, translated into the words of Hampton’s place and time.

It stands in stark contrast to speeches of Martin Luther King, who was murdered the year before Hampton was killed. King taught nonviolence as the road to color blindness. Color blindness is expressly rejected as a goal of today’s “anti-racists.” You will find much more in Hampton’s speech that is often echoed by today’s left.

Hampton was shot and killed along with another Black Panther in a 1969 raid by the Cook County Sheriff and the Chicago Police, which is widely regarded as an illegal execution coordinated by the FBI. Though controversy remains over the facts of that event, the City of Chicago and the federal government settled the case and paid a monetary award to survivors. Whatever the facts of that event are, they do not alter what Hampton stood for.

The Chicago Black Lives Matter chapter, today, often refers to Hampton as its Chairman.

There isn’t all that much that separates Fred Hampton from Obama and Holder. I would argue the evidence shows Hampton to be the much more law abiding one. At least Fred Hampton was a natural born citizen.

The birther thing isn’t really about Obama being born in the US or not. It doesn’t even matter if he was born here because his mother was an American citizen so he too is an American citizen. Birtherism is about denying Obama legitimacy. Democrats screamed for 8 years that Bush was an illegitimate president, they sabotaged Trump’s presidency, and now even just several weeks ago, Biden accused 75,000,000 Trump supporters of being a threat to democracy. Practically called us terrorists. They legitimately think of you and I as terrorists. You know what America does to undemocratic terrorists? THey have no… Read more »

“I’m gonna play by all the rules, I’m not going to say Obama was born in Keyna” , oh oh, someone might call me a liar! That would be so bad, bad bad, I don’t want to be a liar!

Meanwhile, Biden stands on stage, looking like an infamous german dictator, screaming that MAGA is a threat to democracy, and he’s going to treat you and your family like terrorists, and sic the FBI parents, and inject your children with Pfizer’s latest clot shot.

I didn’t call you a liar. That’s just simply who you are. I called you pathetic.

Whoa, that’s a bit much, calling me pathetic, I must have got under your skin.

Holy crap, I just figured it out. Obama IS PPF – remember Obama gets a pension from his 6 months in the state senate or whatever. That’s why it bothers him so much when people say he was born in Kenya. Because. it. is. true.

I just don’t understand the constant lies you tell yourself and others. Do you think it actually moves the needle to change peoples opinions? The only people that believe your nonsense are low information voters. You already own that demographic so I don’t understand the purpose behind all the lies. But you do you. I’ll just keep calling out your lies.

I don’t need to change anyone’s opinion. The goal is to win. I don’t know of anyone who’s changed their opinion. Either some operative harvests your ballot or they don’t. That’s how you win or lose. But all along the way, the opposition must delegitimatize, humiliate and disrespect the other side. Democrats believe we are nazis. That’s the official position of the Biden Regime: MAGA and its voters threaten the democracy of the United States. And you get upset because I say Michelle is really Michael… http://judiciaryreport.com/barack_obama_brother_says_michelle_obama_a_man_named_michael.htm Barack Obama’s Brother Says Michelle Obama Is A Man Named Michael Malik Obama,… Read more »

Biden attacks Trump and MAGA Republicans as threat to American democracy SNIP “Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” he said. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” SNIP At Wilkes University, where made the case Tuesday for his administration’s plan for policing and crime prevention, Biden went after MAGA Republicans for their response to the Jan. 6 attack and the FBI search at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. “For God’s sake, whose side are you on? Whose side are you on?” a fired-up Biden asked. SNIP… Read more »

When is that going to happen? A month ago you told us all how Republicans could win and instead had their ass handed to them. Wrong as usual.

No, the people on the other side have been lying forever. The vast majority of the Dem platform is a lie… We’ve reached our limit. In fact, due to the nature of the game played by the left, those of us who used to believe in coming together and finding commonalities, learned that the current crop of liberal morons are so blind to truth and reality that it will be almost impossible to unite as a nation. It is sad – the greatest threat to our republic was the “educated” white apologists championing the ideals of marxists, socialists, and those… Read more »

in the absence of the knowledge where you fall on the actuarial tables

That’s funny, best comment of the day! Meanwhile PPF has to resort to personal attacks, calling me pathetic.

It is funny that you think actuarial tables have anything to do with the states obligation to pay its debt. The pension funds can be run completely dry and the state still owes the money. Just more taxes to be collected. Hilarious.

The tweet is dumb on so many levels:

  1. Was the line “He was murdered by police…” even necessary? The could have included born/died dates in the photo.
  2. “we reflect on the life of #FredHampton…his legacy lives on” yet the Senate Democrats couldn’t even be bothered to provide a link to any information on the man. Just a cheap jpeg. Zero effort.

No surprise here. Bobby Rush, was both a founding member of the Black Panthers and a nearly 30-year US Congressman here in Chicago’s Bronzeville 1st District. As the saying goes, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. Chicago and most of Illinois is ruled mostly by dressed up, educated, racial gangsters.

The mistrust that the black community has with the white community is well founded in hard realities of the economic apartheid that the ghetto has always had. One must consider the source and realities of his era and take that into account when reading this. Some things have changed for the worse and some for the better. Blacks could have never afforded Flossmoor or Homewood, now they can. Blacks have shown steady and solid economic growth in many areas. Just like whites and hispanics, blacks have a family dynamic that is not necessarily monolithic. Blacks have elements inside their culture… Read more »

Fred Hampton would be delighted with the current state of black society.
He was a communist and he would be happy seeing violence and chaos running the streets.
Their goal is and was to destroy our society and replace it with the totalitarian state and since that’s what’s happening he’d be cheering it on.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
