Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> launched her new documentary — &#8220;<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*2cvpb1*_ga*NTk5OTMwNDMyLjE2NjM1OTAyNjM.*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTYzMjMxMC43Mi4xLjE2NjU2MzI2MTUuNjAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Greatest Lie Ever Sold</a>&#8221; — at a star-studded event in downtown Nashville Wednesday.
The BLM exposé takes a deep-dive into the multi-million dollar “grift” of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation and its former Executive Director Patrisse Cullors, and offers “the true story” behind the life and death of George Floyd with never-before-seen interviews from insiders and experts.
Attendees at the packed-house event were advised to wear all black for the funeral of the BLM movement, exposed and laid to rest once and for all by Owens&#8217; documentary.
On hand to celebrate the premiere were celebrities such as Ye West, Kid Rock, Ray J., and more. Other party-goers included conservatives from around the movement.

Prior to entering the venue, Owens also appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight to discuss why she created the documentary in the first place.
&#8220;They use black pain to create confusion and to take millions upon millions, tens of millions of dollars from people,&#8221; she said of BLM leaders and related non-profits. &#8220;And where did the money go, Tucker?

The Daily Wire

The Daily Wire&#8217;s Candace Owens made a Monday evening appearance on &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight,&#8221; mocking Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrice Cullors for claiming that she had threatened her safety.
Owens had visited Cullor&#8217;s home on May 7 looking to speak with someone about the use of donations given to Black Lives Matter. Cullors responded to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/daily-wires-candace-owens-reveals-how-she-brought-blm-founder-to-tears-with-a-polite-request-for-comment/">Owens</a> with a video claiming that she feared for the safety of herself and her family — but Owens got video as well, and Carlson shared the two clips side by side.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Carlson brought Owens into the conversation then, noting that she was visibly pregnant at the time the video was taken.
&#8220;Sorry to laugh, it’s just so ridiculous. Last time we talked you were like seven months pregnant, it’s weird how threatening you can be in that condition,&#8221; Carlson prompted.
&#8220;I was seven-and-a-half months pregnant, rang the doorbell, had no idea she lived inside or was inside. I spoke to a white security guard for a couple of minutes, he was pretty friendly,&#8221; Owens replied.
Last year, it was revealed that Cullors has <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/">purchased four houses in California</a> since 2016 for a total of $3.2 million. <a href="https://praisephilly.com/3215351/patrisse-cullors-speaks-out-about-blm-money-controversy-organizers-should-get-paid-for-the-work-that-they-do/">Cullors said she paid for the homes</a>, including the $1.4 million home in Topanga Canyon Owens visited, with money earned from being a college professor, TV producer, and author of two books. She said she bought them to “take care” of members of her family, and has adamantly denied using BLM proceeds to buy the homes.
More recently, it was revealed that a mansion BLM paid $6 million for in LA’s tony Laurel Canyon, was used by Cullors on special occasions including parties to celebrate President Biden’s inauguration and her son’s birthday. Cullors, who resigned as BLM’s executive director a year ago, was later billed for the use of the home, according to BLM.
Owens said that the guard had not given her any information, so she asked if they would like her to leave the property.
&#8220;No sooner did we get in the car than she was squeezing out fake tears pretending that she was under duress, and it’s just so emblematic of exactly what Black Lives Matter is, you know? Emblematic of fake victimhood,&#8221; Owens said.

The beleaguered activist, whose <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/">California home-buying spree</a> last year raised questions, accused The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">Candace Owens</a> of harassing her and putting her family in danger in a tearful Instagram post. But Owens on Saturday released video of her May 7 visit to Cullors&#8217; home, and it&#8217;s hard to see what the fuss was about.
&#8220;Hello,&#8221; Owens begins, apparently talking to a guard from outside a gate in front of Cullors&#8217; home. &#8220;I was just looking to speak to whomever was at this property, because it&#8217;s listed as a Black Lives Matter property. Sir? Hello? We&#8217;re not trying to harass you. We&#8217;ll gladly leave. We&#8217;re just wondering if we can speak to anybody.&#8221;
Whatever the guard says in reply is inaudible, but Owens ends the exchange on a pleasant note.
&#8220;Thank you, sir,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Have a great day.&#8221;

Owens posted her side of the exchange after Cullors went on social media to claim she&#8217;d been harassed by The Daily Wire podcast star.
&#8220;This morning I woke up to Candace Owens being outside of my house with a news crew,&#8221; Cullors claimed. &#8220;She was demanding that I come outside. The fact that she came outside my house and demanded things [and] harassed me is unacceptable.&#8221;
Then Cullors tearfully pleaded for her loved ones to be kept safe, apparently from polite requests from members of the media.
&#8220;Y&#8217;all, I really need my family to be safe,&#8221; she said in the Instagram post. &#8220;I need to be safe. I need my child to be safe. And this, what happened this morning, is not safety.&#8221;
Owens posted the entire exchange on Twitter, cutting back and forth between her comments from outside the home and Cullors&#8217; characterization of it.
“I am pre-releasing the footage of me showing up at one of Black Lives Matter founder’s, Patrisse Cullors, multiple mansions,” Owens tweeted. “Remember she fake cried and said I harassed her? LIAR. I kindly spoke to a white security guard (who remained silent) through a gate.&#8221;
&#8220;Sunlight is the best disinfectant,&#8221; Owens added.

Cullors acknowledged in an Associated Press interview that she should never have used the compound in that way.

Daily Wire’s Candace Owens Reveals How She Brought BLM Founder To Tears With A Polite Request For Comment

Daily Wire's Candace Owens Reveals How She Brought BLM Founder To Tears With A Polite Request For Comment

The leadership of Black Lives Matter spent nearly $6 million in donations to purchase a 6,500-square-foot California mansion with the help of a high-powered Democratic Party law firm, a new investigative report has uncovered. Newly released internal messages show the leadership scurrying to explain how the charity intends to use the home.
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) purchased a seven-bedroom home, known as the “Campus,” in October 2020. The sprawling complex includes “several fireplaces, a soundstage, a pool and bungalow, and parking for more than 20 cars, according to real-estate listings,” wrote Sean Campbell in New York Magazine late Monday morning.
“The transaction has not been previously reported, and Black Lives Matter’s leadership had hoped to keep the house’s existence a secret,” added Campbell, who said he had seen leaked internal memos, emails, and messages about the heretofore unknown real estate purchase.
BLMGNF reportedly spent some of the $90 million in donations acknowledged in its <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/blm-2020-impact-report.pdf">2020 Impact Report</a> to purchase the Campus in secretive and contorted ways that Campbell says “blur, or cross, boundaries between the charity and private companies owned by some of its leaders.”
BLMGNF <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/04/black-lives-matter-6-million-dollar-house.html">made</a> the nearly $6 million purchase through an intermediary named Dyane Pascall, who is financial manager for an LLC owned by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and her wife Janaya Khan. Pascall transferred the home to an LLC established by the Perkins Coie law firm. As this author has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-people-behind-joe-bidens-fact-check-team-have-a-history-of-lying-to-the-american-people">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Starting in April 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/christopher-steele-who-created-dossier-claiming-ashe-schow">and</a> the Democratic National Committee used Perkins Coie to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-obama-paid-nearly-1-million-law-firm-hired-ryan-saavedra">funnel campaign funds</a> to <a href="http://therightswriter.com/2015/08/planned-parenthood-hires-fmr-lobbyist-for-sheikh-who-burned-american-flag-during-wartime/">Fusion GPS</a>, which in turn hired British intelligence agent Christopher Steele to produce his salacious “dossier.”
Among the most lurid fabrications of his report, which BuzzFeed published in January 2017, is the claim that Donald Trump hired Russian prostitutes to urinate on a bed that Barack Obama once slept in. </blockquote>
Special Counsel Robert Mueller eventually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-one-crucial-line-mueller-report-media-taking-matt-walsh">noted</a> his “investigation did not establish” the dossier’s allegations, and Special Prosecutor John Dunham has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/smear-so-called-investigation-networks-ignore-and-spin-steele-dossier-indictment">indicted</a> at least one person with connections to the dossier.
The use of Perkins Coie’s Delaware-based LLC shielded the Campus’ ownership from public scrutiny.
Campbell writes that he asked BLMGNF about the Campus on March 30, then cites private emails and messages between BLMGNF principals attempting to account for the property’s use. The BLMGNF’s leadership said in one such message: “Our angle — needs to be to deflate ownership of the property.” Another suggested the group portray the Campus as “part of cultural arm” of BLM, an “influencer house” where “based content is produced by artists &amp; creatives.” Still another message tried to portray the Campus as a “safehouse” for BLM leaders who feel their lives are endangered.
BLM has consistently said exposés such as <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/">the New York Post story</a> revealing Cullors’ purchase of four homes for $3.2 million in 2021 could lead to her murder, a tactic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-3-steps-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-takes-to-shut-down-media-criticism">increasingly common among left-wing activists</a>. Cullors accused the paper “of being ‘abusive’ and putting her at risk” — charges that social media sites used to prevent users from sharing the story, the Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/16/social-media-again-silences-the-post-for-reporting-the-news/">noted</a> in an editorial.
In a chilling aside, Campbell notes that Bowers has authorized private detectives to investigate “BLMGNF detractors and journalists, including me.”
The BLM’s leaders appear conscious of the fact that competing claims over whether the Campus would be open to a bevy of public artists and creators or kept under rigid security contain internal contradictions. Campbell reports that the memo states, “Holes in security story: Use in public YT [YouTube] videos.”
For instance, Cullors used the Campus’ kitchen to shoot a video for her personal YouTube channel, capturing her attempt to make her aunt’s peach cobbler recipe. She and other BLM members also shot a video complaining about press reports of Cullors’ real estate spree. (Cullors, who left her BLM leadership position last year, has always said she used her own funds in those purchases.)
The BLMGNF said publicly on April 1 that the mansion will serve as a cultural center. A statement from board member Shalomyah Bowers said that the mansion will “serve as housing and studio space for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship.” The newly created fellowship, which BLM announced on April 2, “provides recording resources and dedicated space for Black creatives to launch content online and in real life focused on abolition, healing justice, urban agriculture and food justice, pop culture, activism, and politics.”
This $6 million mansion should not be confused with another $6 million mansion purchased with BLM donations. In July 2021, the group transferred millions of dollars to its Canadian chapter, which spent <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/black-lives-matter-sent-millions-to-canada-charity-m4bj-for-mansion/">$6.3 million</a> (U.S.) to buy the former headquarters of the Communist Party of Canada. BLMGNF claimed the Canadian property would <a href="https://wildseedcentre.com/about/">serve</a> as “a transfeminist, queer affirming space politically aligned with supporting [b]lack liberation.”
The mansion would also be used as the headquarters of BLM’s Canadian chapter, which is led by Janaya Khan.
BLMGNF has faced allegations that it has failed to account for the tens of millions of dollars in donations it has received, and to share the wealth with its local chapters, since its founding in 2013.
&#8220;This new reporting highlights just how little the public knows about BLMGNF&#8217;s operations, and the lack of transparency about what is being done with the tens of millions of dollars it raised in 2020,&#8221; Robert Stilson, Special Projects Manager at the <a href="https://capitalresearch.org">Capital Research Center</a>, told me. &#8220;Nonprofits like BLMGNF must be publicly accountable for how they spend donated funds in furtherance of their charitable purpose, but accountability is impossible without transparency.”

BLM Spent $6 Million Buying A California Mansion: Report

In April 2015, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors told an audience at Harvard Law School that they should “end the imperialist project that&#8217;s called Israel.”
Speaking on a panel hosted by the Human Rights Program at Harvard, entitled &#8220;Globalizing Ferguson: Radicalized Policing and International Resistance,&#8221; Cullors stated:
<blockquote>I am also the co-founder of Black Lives Matter … What I will say, what’s important, I think, in this conversation around trans-national solidarity is that it’s simple. We should be building relationships with people across the world. If we believe we are part of the human family, then we need to push ourselves in particular ways to see the connections always. The other thing I’ll say is Palestine is our generation’s South Africa, and if we don&#8217;t step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that&#8217;s called Israel, we&#8217;re doomed.</blockquote>
Cullors then referenced the recent trip she had made with a group called “Dream Defenders” to Israel, claiming, “Nothing would’ve prepared me for the level of militarization and the level of violence that we would witness”:
<blockquote>And I think that I had learned about Palestine for a long time, I’d known about it, been wanting to travel, and I was really, really grateful when the Dream Defenders asked me to come on the delegation. But nothing would’ve prepared me for the level of militarization and the level of violence that we would witness those ten days inside of Palestine. Nothing would have prepared me for the ways in which we witnessed people’s terror. People live in terror on a daily basis. And nothing would have prepared me for how much clarity I would have on why we have to be a part of Palestinian solidarity.</blockquote>
Cullors made no reference to the terrorist attacks that have targeted Israel for decades, including the Second Intifada, during which over 1100 Israelis were murdered, as reported <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-activists-for-palestinians-threaten-your-college-campus-will-be-scene-of-intifadas">here</a>.
As <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/the-blm-movement-and-antisemitism/">CAMERA reported</a> in 2020: Dream Defenders was a BLM-affiliated group that brought black activists to meet BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) co-founder Omar Barghouti and other radical anti-Israel activists. CAMERA noted of Dream Defenders:
<blockquote>One of the co-founders of the group was a Palestinian-American activist by the name of Ahmad Abuznaid whose own focus was to create a nexus between Palestinian grievances and those of African Americans and to link the emerging BLM movement with BDS. … By December 2014, Ahmad Abuznaid stepped up his efforts by recruiting prominent black activists to join a “Delegation to Palestine,” the goal of which, he stated, was: &#8220;to allow for the group members to experience and see first-hand the occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality Israel has levied against Palestinians, but also to build real relationships with those on the ground leading the fight for liberation.&#8221;</blockquote>
During the December 2014 trip, CAMERA reported, “Cullors organized a flashmob calling for BDS, performed by activists and leaders of various groups that view themselves as part of the BLM movement (including Tef Poe, Phillip Agnew aka Umi Selah, Aja Monet, the journalist Marc Lamont Hill, and others). They publicized a <a href="https://vimeo.com/116675694">video</a> they made of their BDS flashmob online.”
Cullors, who declared in the 2014 video that “We are going to have a flashmob,” continued during the 2015 panel:
<blockquote>We can have a whole conversation about the settlements that we witnessed, the stories of murder and death at the hands of Israelis and Zionists, and I think the biggest piece, for me, coming back home, was what do we do here, right? What’s our work look like here, in relationship to Palestine? And what does the Black Lives Matter movement have to do with Palestine? I know a lot of people ask that. A lot of black people asked that while we were there, right? </blockquote>
<blockquote>We had great responses, people were super-excited, and then we also had black people being like, “Why aren’t you home?” I think like there’s like this deep gap in the black community specifically among black Americans, because we can’t assume all black people in the United States are American. There’s a gap that we must deal with our issues at home, as if our issues at home have nothing to do with issues abroad.
And so we understood that coming back we had to do a lot of education about why we chose to make this trip, why it was important to us and why it was actually crucial to this conversation around the Black Lives Matter movement. When we talk about militarization, when we talk about the ways in which the U.S. government funds, literally funds the state of Israel, we’re complicit in that unless we’re fighting it actively, unless we’re making those connections here inside of this country. And so it was an honor to go on that trip and being back home, a lot of us, we’ve been talking to colleges and high schools, talking about our trip.</blockquote>
Then Cullors segued to the terrorist Rasmeah Odeh.
<blockquote>Two things I think people should really be thinking about in relationship to the state of Israel and Palestinian solidarity: One is BDS, boycott, divestment, sanction, so if folks aren’t on that tip, please Google it, super-simple, it’s a great website, and the second is Rasmea Odeh’s case. Rasmea lives in Chicago, and it’s a very long story, but essentially the U.S. government is trying to deport her back to Israel, where she was tortured as a prisoner inside of Israel. And so I would really push this audience, whether it’s the law school or students to develop some sort of Rasmea Odeh solidarity team to really, I think this summer, we need to, like get on it as a team. The media has essentially iced out everybody from talking about her case and so we have our own media, it’s called social media. I think we need to be diligent about uplifting her case.</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/day-without-woman-organizer-was-murderous-hank-berrien">The Daily Wire</a> noted in a story about Odeh being one of the organizers of the 2017 Women’s March:
<blockquote>[Odeh] bombed a supermarket in Jerusalem in 1969, killing two <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4261654/Illegal-immigrant-terrorist-organize-women-s-strike.html">Hebrew university students</a>, Leon Kanner, 21, and Edward Joffe, 22, who were grocery shopping … Nine other people were injured in the explosion. Rasmea Odeh … spent ten years in prison, then lied to become a U.S. citizen in 2004. On Nov. 10, 2014, a federal jury in Detroit <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2014/12/05/rasmea-odeh-victim/19913157/">pronounced her guilty</a> for illegally procuring naturalization by falsely answering questions as to whether she &#8220;EVER&#8221; had been convicted or imprisoned. After she was convicted of immigration fraud three years ago, Odeh got a new trial claiming PTSD caused her to lie. In addition, she is an <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/09/feminist-darling-will-speak-at-event-with-convicted-palestinian-terrorist-and-immigration-fraudster/#ixzz4ZoXBxHDX">alleged former member</a> of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terrorist group, and was convicted for her role in the bombing of a British consulate. … an observer from the International Red Cross was present for her entire six-month Israeli trial, and stated afterward that the Israeli military court &#8220;had given the accused every chance of defending themselves, and the trial was – in his opinion – a fair trial.&#8221;</blockquote>

This context was left out of Cullors&#8217; comments, as was any mention of the murders of Israelis by Palestinians in the so-called &#8220;settlements&#8221; located in Judea and Samaria, such as the Fogel family, which was brutally slaughtered in their home in 2012 by two Palestinian terrorists, including the decapitation of a three-month-old infant.

Patrisse Cullors

BLM Co-Founder Called For An End To Israel

Israel

Palestinians

Rasmea Odeh

According to campaign finance records, a Los Angeles-based jail reform group named “Reform LA Jails” founded and led by Patrisse Cullors — a co-founder of Black Lives Matter — made payments to multiple figures and organizations linked with Cullors herself — including her own consulting firm, as well as a luxury resort in Malibu.
“Janaya &amp; Patrisse Consulting,” a business Patrisse Cullors owns, received $60,000, according to the <a href="https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Reform-LA-Jails-July-2019.pdf">records</a>.  
The committee name, according to the submitted records for the statement dates of July 1 to September 30, 2019, is “Reform LA Jails, A Committee Supporting Jail Reform and Community Reinvestment, Sponsored by Justice Team Network, A Project of Tides Advocacy.”
In total, the committee listed $903,003.26 in contributions received, $381,822.09 in expenditures, and outstanding debts of $49,540.13.
Of these expenditures, $44,313.74 went to “<a href="https://www.bowersconsulting.com/about">Bowers Consulting Firm</a>,” whose founder and president, Shalomyah Bowers, appears to be a <a href="http://dignityandpowernow.org/about-us/">board member</a> on another non-profit founded by Cullors, “Dignity &amp; Power NOW.”
According to campaign finance records, “Reform LA Jails” also spent nearly $26,000 on “meetings” at a luxury resort in Malibu in 2019.
“The payments were made on behalf of Reform LA Jails by a consulting firm owned by the co-author of Cullors’ 2018 biography, Asha Bandele, campaign finance records show,” reported the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/04/26/reform-la-jails-malibu-beach-resort/">Daily Caller</a>, according to the records.
Reform LA Jails spent $10,179 on “meetings and appearances” at the Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club in Malibu, California. $15,593 was spent at the Malibu Conference Center, a “corporate conference facility” owned by the Calamigos resort.
“Guests at the 200-acre resort, where rooms start at $600 a night, have exclusive access to a private five-acre strip of the Malibu coast,” noted the Daily Caller.
According to the Daily Caller, &#8220;Reform LA Jails did not return multiple requests for comment,&#8221; adding later that &#8220;It’s unclear why Reform LA Jails booked meetings at the luxury Malibu beach resort.&#8221;
Patrisse Cullors sparked a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marxist-blm-co-founder-rejects-accusations-of-real-estate-buying-binge-hypocrisy-saying-i-have-a-child">backlash</a> earlier in April “After reportedly going on a “real-estate buying binge,” purchasing “four homes with a price tag totaling upwards of $3 million.”
Cullors first <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/25/blm-co-founder-describes-herself-as-trained-marxist/">described</a> herself as a “trained Marxist” in 2015.
“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors told Jared Ball of The Real News Network.
When Marc Lamont Hill questioned Cullors&#8217; apparent hypocrisy, the BLM co-founder responded.
“And, for so many black folks who are able to invest in themselves and their community, they choose to invest in their family, and that’s what I have chosen to do. I have a child, I have a brother that has severe mental illness who I take care of, I support my mother, and I support many other family members of mine.&#8221;

Records Show BLM Co-Founder’s ‘Jail Reform’ Campaign Gave $60k To Her Own Consulting Firm, Thousands More For Friends And Luxury Malibu Resort

After reportedly going on a “real-estate buying binge,” purchasing “four homes with a price tag totaling upwards of $3 million,” Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors has been the target of bipartisan criticism accusing the self-proclaimed “trained Marxist” of being a hypocrite.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blm-co-founder-buys-1-4-million-home-in-virtually-all-white-area-black-commentators-slam-her">The Daily Wire</a> noted this past week, Khan-Cullors purchased a $1.4 million home in a secluded area of Los Angeles, where the population is reportedly less than 2% black.
She “was also eyeing a spot in an &#8216;ultra-exclusive&#8217; resort in the Bahamas, where the likes of musician Justin Timberlake and iconic golfer Tiger Woods both have homes,&#8221; as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cashing-in-blm-co-founder-goes-on-real-estate-buying-binge-snagging-four-homes-totaling-millions-of-dollars-report">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
Earlier this week, Cullors was interviewed by Marc Lamont Hill, who asked whether her behavior is “contradictory to [her] ideology.”
“Also a critique, though, from the Left that would say ‘If you are a trained Marxist, if we’re talking about a certain kind of radical politics, that extravagant homes of any sort or multiple properties of any sort is itself contradictory to the ideology that you hold,’” commented Marc Lamont Hill.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

“So it’s not about having money per se, or about property per se, but it’s about there being a potential contradiction between your expressed politics and your lived practice,” he added.
“Sure, and I think that is a critique that is, um, wanting, and I say that because, um, the, the way that I live my life is in direct support to black people, including my black family members, first and foremost,” Cullors responded.
The co-founder of Black Lives Matter then continued to state that many “black folks” invest in their family, and her purchases are indicative of her doing the same and “supporting” various family members.
“And, for so many black folks who are able to invest in themselves and their community, they choose to invest in their family, and that’s what I have chosen to do. I have a child, I have a brother that has severe mental illness who I take care of, I support my mother, and I support many other family members of mine,” Cullors continued.
“So, I see my money as not my own. I see it as my family’s money as well,” she concluded.
Cullors first <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/25/blm-co-founder-describes-herself-as-trained-marxist/">described</a> herself as a “trained Marxist” in 2015.
“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors told Jared Ball of The Real News Network.
However, the father of Marxism, Karl Marx, <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm">wrote</a> in “The Communist Manifesto” that “&#8230; the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”
In addition, Marxists often reject the familial structure, arguing that it acts as a hierarchy which enables the protection and promulgation of capitalism.

A Los Angeles jail reform organization paid Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, the consulting firm created by Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors and her husband, $20,000 a month while she served as the chairwoman of the jail reform group, the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/04/13/patrisse-cullors-reform-la-jails/">Daily Caller</a> reported.
“According to campaign finance data, Cullors&#8217; consulting firm, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, received a total of $191,000 over the course of 2019 via payments from Reform LA Jails – also known as Vote Yes on R,” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/black-lives-matter-patrisse-cullors-consulting-firm-paid-20k-month">Fox News</a> noted, adding, “Cullors was listed as ‘principal officer’ and ‘business owner’ on the reported payments.”
The consulting group’s most recent <a href="https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/Document/RetrievePDF?Id=201623010257-29440953">filing</a> with California, filed in December 2020, lists Cullors as the sole manager.
Reform LA Jails issued a statement to Fox News asserting that Cullors &#8220;earned the market rate compensation.&#8221; The statement said that critics were acting in a sexist manner for slamming Cullors:
<blockquote>The Founder and Chair of Reform LA Jails, Patrisse Cullors, through her consulting firm Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, earned the market rate compensation for serving as the chief executive of a historic and successful $5 million dollar campaign in California, and far below when taking into consideration the fact that Ms. Cullors ran the campaign without a salary at all for all of 2018. It is hard to comprehend why Black women get scrutinized for being successful and entrepreneurial despite their enormous personal and financial sacrifice and commitment to justice, while white men and others receive accolades for making their millions. It is sexist and racist to expect an executive level Black woman to not be paid for their work.</blockquote>
Critics have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fraud-blm-co-founder-patrisse-cullors-blasted-over-real-estate-buying-binge/">slammed Cullors</a> after it was reported that she allegedly bought four homes for $3.2 million. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/">New York Post</a> reported:

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blm-of-nyc-calls-for-independent-investigation-of-blm-co-founder-after-3-2-million-home-buying-binge/">The Daily Wire</a> reported on Tuesday:
<blockquote>The head of New York City’s Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapter is calling for an investigation into Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of BLM, following her purchase of four homes worth millions of dollars. Hawk Newsome, who leads Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, called for “an independent investigation” into Cullors’ finances and the operations of the national Black Lives Matter group.
“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” Newsome told <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/">the New York Post</a>. “It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement.”</blockquote>

“Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am” Los Angeles Premiere

Jail Reform Group Paid BLM Cofounder’s Consulting Firm $20K A Month

On Monday, sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who was banned from Twitter after criticizing Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors for reportedly buying a $1.4 million home in a virtually all-white neighborhood, blasted Twitter, saying that Black Lives Matter is one of Big Tech’s “sacred cows.”
Whitlock told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9463851/Black-reporter-LOCKED-Twitter-criticizing-BLM-says-company-gone-far.html">the Daily Mail</a>, &#8220;BLM is one of Big Tech&#8217;s sacred cows. I’ve been harping on the fraudulence and the financial grift of BLM for years. I think Twitter has been looking for an excuse to de-platform me.&#8221;
Whitlock noted, &#8220;Twitter locked my account around 4 p.m. Friday. They said my account was locked because I revealed personal information about someone. They said I needed to remove the tweet that linked the dirt.com story about Cullors buying a house in Topanga.&#8221;
“I find it hypocritical,” Whitlock said of Cullors purchasing the $1.4 million home in Topanga Canyon in the hills of Los Angeles. “There is so much hypocrisy. She&#8217;s acting like a capitalist.”
Turning to Twitter, Whitlock asserted, “They want you to remove the tweet to start your 12-hour sentence. Why should I remove the tweet? They have already removed it. I sat back and said I&#8217;m going to do nothing, and see where this story goes.”
<div id="attachment_209917" style="width: 760px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-209917" class="size-full wp-image-209917" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Whitlock.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="818" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2021/04/Whitlock.jpg 750w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2021/04/Whitlock-275x300.jpg 275w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2021/04/Whitlock-528x576.jpg 528w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />screenshot</div>
“I&#8217;m going to play Nelson Mandela in the Twitter jail,&#8221; he joked, adding that Twitter banning him had only given his take more publicity, pointing out it “has gone exactly how I wanted it to go.”
Last Friday, Whitlock called out Cullors, tweeting, “Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%. She’s with her people!”
When he was criticized on Twitter, he responded, &#8220;Do you even comprehend my take? She had a lot of options on where to live. She chose one of the whitest places in California. She&#8217;ll have her pick of white cops and white people to complain about. That&#8217;s a choice, bro.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/WhitlockJason/status/1380547692980490243
Whitlock told The Daily Mail that BLM founders, including Cullors, were “making millions of dollars off the backs of these dead black men who they wouldn&#8217;t spit on if they were on fire and alive.”
The Daily Mail pointed out, “It&#8217;s not clear if or how Cullors is paid by the organization, as its finances are not public. … BLM raised $90 million last year, the AP has reported, but it&#8217;s unclear how leaders are paid — if they are paid — because the organization&#8217;s finances are opaque, a fact that has sparked criticism, even among local BLM chapters.”
The Daily Wire<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cashing-in-blm-co-founder-goes-on-real-estate-buying-binge-snagging-four-homes-totaling-millions-of-dollars-report"> reported</a> on Sunday:
<blockquote>One of the founders of the far-left Black Lives Matter movement is reportedly on a “real-estate buying binge,” already purchasing four homes with a price tag totaling upwards of $3 million. Thirty-seven-year-old Patrisse Khan-Cullors “went on a real estate-buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records,” the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/">reported</a> Sunday.
The progressive activist was also eyeing a spot in an “ultra-exclusive” resort in the Bahamas, where the likes of musician Justin Timberlake and iconic golfer Tiger Woods both have homes. </blockquote>
Whitlock was not the only one who slammed Cullors for the purchase of the home in Topanga Canyon; Vallejo for Social Justice blasted, “&#8217;We&#8217;re talking generational wealth off of the deaths &amp; struggle of Black folks here. Justice Teams Network &amp; BLM founder paid $1.4 million dollars for a home. This past week we bought a cot for our unhoused Black elder friend to keep him off the ground.”
Post-Millennial Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo tweeted: “Cullors identifies as a communist &amp; advocates for the abolishment of capitalism.”
