A PHILOSOPHICAL BURKA

The true face of 'progressives' has been well hidden by factual omissions perpetrated by main-stream-media subversives.

One might almost say that the leftists have hidden their darkness under a philosophical 'burka' for far too long.

This report on the eco-activists exposes the truth:

"There reached a point when the Dakota Access protest became less about debating the merits of pipeline routes and more about mixing it up with cops.
That was when the danger spiked for officers and their families. While protesters were fueling worldwide outrage and fundraising over allegations of police brutality, an aggressive cohort of agitators was terrorizing the families of law enforcement officers with threats of death, rape and arson.
“There were threats made to us, mostly that they were going to come burn down our houses or rape us while our husbands were gone,” said Allison Engelstad, who is married to Jon Engelstad, a sheriff’s deputy in Morton County, North Dakota.
The Dakota Access protest came with sobering evidence of an increasingly violent activism culture that has raised the stakes in recent years from peaceful activism to vandalism to aggression against police. Other evidence are assaults on officers at events such as Black Lives Matter and Resist Trump.
David Horowitz, a conservative author and researcher on left-wing movements, said political history shows that the rash of leftist violence is more par for the course than out of character.
“There were really two movements in the ‘60s. One was the hippie movement, which was benign. That was the summer of love,” he said. “And then there were the leftists, who were violent. They were revolutionaries.

Ms. Engelstad, the sheriff’s deputy’s wife, had good reason to fear that protesters knew where they lived. The North Dakota State and Local Intelligence Center compiled a 41-page document of social media posts with threats along with photos, names, addresses and contact information for officers involved with the protest.
“Every one of these cops has familys Make there family pay,” read one Facebook post.
A live video feed taken from a January protest on the Backwater Bridge includes the voice of an activist shouting, “We’re going to gang-rape,” “Watch your family” and “We’re going to kill your daughters, your mothers, your fathers, your grandparents, even you!”
For Ms. Engelstad, the threats hit home the night before Thanksgiving, when her husband called and urged her to leave, saying protesters had threatened to set fire to the houses of law enforcement locked in a late-night standoff at the bridge near Cannon Ball, North Dakota.” [Valerie Richardson]

Its really shocking, these 'activists' are no better than the terrorists threatening our way of life and should be treated as such.
