Instead of singing, “With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the True North strong and free,” Remigio Pereira sang, “We’re all brothers and sisters. All lives matter to the great.”

Pereira also held up an “All Lives Matter” sign.

The group took to Twitter to apologize for Pereira’s actions and confirmed he had been removed from the group “until further notice.”

The MLB says it was unaware of Pereira’s intention to change the song to include the revised lyrics.

“All Lives Matter” is a controversial phrase. Some think it belittles and is disrespectful of the “Black Lives Matter” movement, which aims to highlight the problems specifically facing black people in America.

Others believe the term “Black Lives Matter” is divisive, and that “All Lives Matter” is more inclusive, arguing that there should be concern for all people victimized by societal ills in the US, such as rampant police brutality.

Pereira was widely criticized on social media, with many users saying it was unacceptable to change the lyrics or politicize a national anthem.

In his defense, the singer posted a statement saying: “Love, peace and harmony for ALL has always been my life’s purpose.”

“I’ve been so moved lately by the tragic loss of life and I hoped for a positive statement that would bring us ALL together. ONE LOVE,” he wrote.

“That was my singular motivation when I said all lives matter,” he added.

COZY: BLM leader lives in home owned by Soros’ Open Society board member

#BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay Mckesson may claim to be leading a grassroots revolution for racial and economic justice, but he has close connections with the privileged and elite.

Mckesson lives in a home owned by philanthropists James and Robin Wood in Baltimore, Maryland.

It’s the same address he used when declaring his residency on his campaign committee registration form for his failed mayoral run in the city’s Democratic primary earlier this year.

Robin is so active that she was made a board member of the far-left non-profit back in 2008, according to the OSI’s website.

The OSI site describes the Williams:

They moved to Baltimore in 1995, when Jimmy had the opportunity to return to his hometown to become director of the orthopedic faculty practice at Sinai Hospital. For the past five years, he has been chief of orthopedics at Harbor Hospital and Robin threw herself into nonprofit work in Baltimore, first with the Community Law Center. She has served on the boards of Associated Black Charities, Safe and Sound, the Baltimore School for the Arts and the Baltimore Community Foundation boards. In 2008, Robin joined the OSI-Baltimore board of directors. She is also now attending the University Of Maryland School of Law.

Soros groups have had several connections to #BlackLivesMatter organizers and activists.

According to Politico, the Soros backed group The Democracy Alliance donated to several race-based movement organizations that ally with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Internal documents from Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, a group organizing the protests in Ferguson after the death of Michael Brown, showed activists being paid.

Infowars reported:

…MORE was one of the groups that received a share of the $33 million invested into the #BlackLivesMatter movement by billionaire George Soros.

On Monday, the Balimore Sun reported the 31-year-old agitator Mckesson is making a handsome salary courtesy of Baltimore school district taxpayers.

In his new role, Mckesson is earning a salary of $165,000 as the district’s third chief of human capital in two years, and manage of a budget of $4 million and 56 employees.

After being appointed last month, Mckesson said he was ready to get to work.

“At its core, this role is about finding great people, matching them to the right role, and helping them to develop and experience careers in the service of our kids,” he said. “I am excited to return to city schools … and to continue doing the work to ensure that every child in Baltimore City receives a world-class education.”

Memphis Newspaper Apologizes for Accurate Headline After BLM Protests

A Memphis newspaper has come out and apologized for an entirely accurate headline after Black Lives Matter supporters protested its use.

The Commercial Appeal ran the headline “Gunman Targeted Whites” on the front page of their paper after the Dallas shooting where the gunman himself declared he “wanted to kill white people” and “especially white officers.”

Four out of five cops killed that day were white. Pointing out the shooter targeted whites is a statement of fact.

Nonetheless, The Commercial Appeal’s editor Louis Graham felt the need to write a gigantic, groveling apology.

Graham writes under the headline, “CA Editor: We got it wrong.“:

Simply put, we got it wrong.

Those three big words in headline type stretched across Saturday’s front page — Gunman Targeted Whites — were true according to police accounts in Dallas at the time but they badly oversimplified a very complex, rapidly evolving story, and angered many of our readers and many more in the broader community.

In my view the headline was so lacking in context as to be tone deaf, particularly in a city with a 65 percent African American population. That front page minimized the broader refrain of what’s happening in our country with anguish over the deaths of young black men at the hands of police. It has been viewed as suggesting that this newspaper values the lives of white police officers more than young black men who have died in incident after incident.

Actually, you didn’t get it wrong, you got it right, and it doesn’t matter what the protesters said.

The people going crazy over the shooting of child raping career criminal Alton Sterling got it wrong.

The people still saying “hands up don’t shoot” after Eric Holder’s DOJ admitted it never happened got it wrong.

An accurate, short news headline of the Dallas gunman’s own stated intent is not wrong.

The checks and balances in place to avoid just this type of disconnect didn’t work that night for a variety of reasons. Too few people looked at the front page before it rolled off our presses. We’ve taken steps to correct that. But the larger challenge is recruiting a diverse enough staff to better reflect the city we cover. We continue to work on that and will be more introspective about how we do our jobs.

In an environment so fraught with anger and anxiety we added unnecessary fuel. That’s not our role. Ours is to explore and explain. The headline required restraint and we didn’t provide it.

Exposed: Who’s REALLY Behind Black Lives Matter And What They Are Trying To Do Next

Questions remain about how the radical organizations that make up the Black Lives Matter movement are supported.

Black Lives Matter has made a name for itself by, some might say, fanning the flames of racial tension in the United States.

Questions remain about how the radical organizations that make up the Black Lives Matter movement are supported.

Now, though, key sources of support for the movement have been revealed.

The Washington Times exposed last January that leftist billionaire George Soros gave more than $30 million in seed money to Black Lives Matter affiliated groups.

According to Essence magazine, Google is also helping to fund the Black Lives Matter movement, giving $2.35 million in grants to activist organizations addressing the “racial injustices that have swept the nation.”

Now, Politico reports that “some of the biggest donors on the left plan to meet behind closed doors next week in Washington with leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement and their allies to discuss funding for the burgeoning protest movement.”

The major liberal donor group Democracy Alliance (DA) will be holding its annual meeting from Tuesday evening through Saturday morning in Washington, and meetings will be held to discuss funding the movement.

Wealthy donors including Tom Steyer and Paul Egerman are expected to attend the DA annual meeting.

The Los Angeles Times has reported that Steyer, a hedge fund billionaire, gave the most to political campaigns of any single person in the 2014 midterm elections, contributing a whopping $74 million–almost three times as much as the second biggest donor, Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg gave $27.7 million.

The DA was started in 2005 by major liberal donors, including George Soros and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay, who hoped to build a permanent infrastructure to support leftist causes.

Black Lives Matter Activists Angry Dead ‘White People’ In France Stealing Their Limelight

BLM NICEBlack Lives Matter (BLM) supporters have claimed the deadly terrorist attack in France was “to make people lose attention” [sic] in their movement and focus on “white” lives instead.

“Ok I’ve come to the conclusion that what happened in Nice was to make people lose attention off [sic] #BlackLivesMatter and focus and unite against us”, wrote Twitter user Semsa, who is based in London but says “Egypt’s the motherland”. She has since made her account private.

“Don’t #PrayForNice we are fighting a civil war against whites. #BLM”, tweeted Franklin Omar, an activist who also appears to be from London, and describes himself as a “Muslim”.

vWJ8FU“I’m seeing all this ignorant hate for Muslims. THESE PEOPLE AREN’T MUSLIM. #PrayForNice #Nice #NotAllMuslims”, wrote Mr. Omar later. Adding:

“Your women are ours now. Allah (pbuh) has promised them to us. Piss off white crusader, watch as Rome burns”, and, “lol we’ve already won Europe, USA can’t do anything against the caliphate white pussy, USA men cant fuck, good luck.”

“It’s sad to see all these people saying Pray for Nice, France but you guys can’t even say Black Lives Matter”, tweeted California-based model and BLM supporter Klarivel Garcia.

“As sad as it is to hear about France I’m even more sad [sic] that now the media will push #BlackLivesMatter even further back in the que [sic]”, wrote a Los Angeles-based BLM activist.

“Lol why did these haters tweet me about my #BlackLivesMatter comment. Guess what #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter”, she added after other users criticised the comment.

Hacktivist group Anonymous and Black Lives Matter had announced a so-called “day of rage” to be held today, the day after the deadly terrorist attack in southern French city.

“Once again we are calling upon the citizens of the United States, in conjunction with the Black Lives Matter movement as well as other civil rights activists, to participate in a day of action against the injustices of corrupt officers,” Anonymous declared in a video.

Last night, at least 84 people died in Nice, including children, after a lorry slammed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day, France’s national day.

Identification papers found in the truck point to a 31-year-old Nice resident that held dual French and Tunisian citizenship. French President François Hollande declared it an “undeniable” terrorist attack.
