FBI agents who were assigned to protect national monuments from vandalism by protesters during the BLM riots instead chose to “take a knee” in a sign of solidarity (or submission) when confronted by the mob in Washington DC on June 4th, 2020.\u00a0 The establishment media widely circulated a photo of the incident, creating a national controversy.<\/p>\n

The event followed a series of prostrations by Democrat officials and leftists designed to appease rioters while also giving credence to the false claims of “systemic racism” in America.<\/p>\n

Times have changed drastically in five years and in 2025 this brand of woke worship is highly frowned upon by the majority of the public.\u00a0 Donald Trump’s return to the White House has driven home the clear message that social justice ideology is dead.\u00a0 This is why it is unlikely that there will be much uproar over the recent demotion of several of the FBI agents involved in the famous “bend the knee” photo, though the media is unsurprisingly outraged<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling with demonstrators.\u00a0 The reassignments, viewed as demotions by many inside the FBI, come nearly five years after the episode that ignited divisions inside the bureau. FBI officials offered no explanation for changing the roles to less coveted positions for the agents.<\/p>\n

There has been extensive cleaning of house undertaken by the Trump Administration in the months after his election.\u00a0 Trump perhaps learned a valuable lesson during his first term, in which many officials and employees within the federal government actively attempted to sabotage his presidency.\u00a0 The lesson?\u00a0 That government cannot function when ideological cultists run the bureaucracy from behind the scenes.\u00a0 The FBI agents in question are likely being punished as a message to the rest of the Bureau that far-left guerrilla tactics will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n

BLM protests were sparked in the name of George Floyd; a career criminal and drug addict who suffered from heart disease that died while resisting arrest<\/a> by officers over counterfeit money.\u00a0 Officer Derek Chauvin was subsequently convicted of murdering Floyd while restraining him.\u00a0 Many Americans still feel that Chauvin was a political sacrifice to appease the leftist mob and that he is in fact innocent.<\/p>\n

As we now know, extensive funding from NGO’s<\/a> and even government agencies like USAID flowed into the coffers of BLM related groups.\u00a0 This cash helped to energize the astroturf activism that made the movement appear much larger than it actually was.\u00a0 The BLM protests were also allowed incredible latitude to ignore pandemic mandates while millions of Americans were stuck at home and told to isolate from friends and family using “social distancing”.<\/p>\n
