Murder Hornet: this thing, the Asian Giant Hornet, appears to have been a short-lived #Dempanic thing that failed to get off the ground.
We were all supposed to be panicked over the possibility that the honey bees could all be quickly wiped out in North America by their invasion. Then someone posted a video of one being devoured by a preying mantis and the panic faltered and crashed. Then someone unsuccessfully attempted to revive the dempanic by pushing a video showing a “Murder Hornet” killing a preying mantis. That left ice-cream Pelosi and her cohorts scrambling to find another crisis to create and promote.
Whitmer, for her part, has largely dismissed the protests and the protesters with divisive and dismissive rhetoric, which she ratcheted up a notch during a television interview Sunday, when she claimed that the protests “depicted some of the worst racism and most awful parts of U.S. history” and that they specifically included people displaying “confederate flags, nooses and swastikas.”
Many in the media have uncritically repeated Whitmer’s claim about the protesters without verifying whether they are true or not.
After reviewing hundreds of pictures of the protesters that were posted on social media, and by media photography services like Getty Images, as well as news accounts from other media outlets repeating Whitmer’s claim, it appears that Gov. Whitmer’s claim is partially true, but misleading.
We were able to locate exactly two protesters who displayed swastikas on their signs while protesting. However, as you will see, no reasonable person would conclude that these people were displaying the swastika as a symbol of white supremacy. Rather, they were obviously using the swastika in an admittedly over-the-top criticism of the harshness of Whitmer’s policies.
The first one is not even technically a swastika, although it is certainly trying to be:

It should be noted that this picture was NOT taken at the April 30 rally that was the subject of Gov. Whitmer’s Sunday remarks, but rather at the April 15 protests that occurred on the steps of the state capitol. However, in the interest of being as fair as possible to Gov. Whitmer, and including all of the protests against her orders that have occurred, the above photograph should be noted.
The other sign featuring a swastika appears to be the only instance of a swastika being displayed at the April 30 protests. And, as you can see, no reasonable person could interpret the sign as being pro-Nazi or pro-Swastika:

Thus, the claim that swastikas have been on display at the protests against Whitmer is true; however, the claim that the swastikas were used as an expression of racism or white supremacy is clearly false. These protesters were not comparing Whitmer to Hitler because they are huge fans of Hitler and therefore also huge fans of Whitmer. Rather, they are comparing her to Hitler because, in their mind, that is the worst comparison that could be made. If anything, that is an expression opposing racism rather than supporting it.
Comparing Whitmer to Hitler, and suggesting that she is a tyrant deserving of “the rope” might well be criticized as over-the-top and/or unacceptable rhetoric. Neither of these displays, however, has any obvious racist intent. Nor would such displays even make sense within the context of a protest about stay-at-home orders, which have nothing to do with race or racism.
In conclusion, it is literally true that there was at least one swastika and at least one noose on display at the anti-Whitmer protests last Thursday. It is, however, false (or at the very least misleading) to claim that they were displayed as symbols of racism.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has instituted some of the harshest and arguably least constitutional stay-at-home orders in the country in response to the coronavirus pandemic/dempanic, and as such has been the target of some eminently predictable protests.
The spirit of pharaoh is amassing his army, they are closing ranks, they seem to be more in number as their numbers are manipulated by the avalanche of 24/7 media coverage, that paints a picture of them that’s meant to deceive, and mislead.
They’ve used every lie given to them by the prince of lies, and God Himself has set the trap, their lust for power and arrogant pride, has blinded them from reality, they have no idea that the judgement on their party has been set, and the Most High, who lives in eternity laughs as they march towards the reaping of their sowing, no power on earth 🌍 will able to stand before God, on their behalf, to make atonement, because they have mocked His holiness & defiled His covenant.
The Democratic Party is over, they just don’t know it yet, everyone marching with them will share in the embarrassment, as pharaoh of old & his great army, they will be swallowed up in the floods of judgement and will lose political independence for years to come, God has marked them for political desolation, all prayers outside of their individual salvation are rejected, God will not favor them, nor anyone who stands in the way of His plan for America, because it affects the souls of millions, worldwide.
Align with God, by praying in agreement with His agenda & vote RED, pray for His anointed Cyrus who sits in the White House today, and will again for another 4 years, nothing, absolutely nothing will stop 🛑 what’s coming.
America will be great again – God isn’t concerned with our personal opinions, He’s already voted 🗳 and His will, will be done ✅ Darryl Johnson
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Isa 49:25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
Isa 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Psa 2:1-5 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
