George Floyd: The Fifth-Year Anniversary

Richard Houck

1,130 words

May 25 is the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death. I have views about his death that I believe exist far outside the realm of Mr. Floyd himself. At the time and now, I view Floyd as an almost inconsequential figure in a much larger story about society and public policy.

The life of Mr. Floyd was tragic, filled with chaos, drug use, and criminality. He was under court supervision and in and out of prison for much of his adult life. Floyd’s final months would be particularly tragic, losing his job due to COVID-19 lockdowns and ultimately dying face down on Minneapolis asphalt on May 25, 2020.

A counterfeit $20 bill is the prop in this story that would lead to Mr. Floyd’s early demise. Looking to buy a snack and a pack of cigarettes at Cup Foods in Minneapolis, a 19-year-old black male clerk spotted what he (correctly) believed to be a fake $20 bill and called the police on Floyd, allegedly per store policy.[1]

The police arrived shortly thereafter, and the rest is, of course, well-known public history. So often, in legal cases, political debates, social issues, and the like, the discourse gets caught in the weeds, and people focus on immaterial facts and fail to grasp the larger issues in play. In all of these years, I’ve never seen anybody ask why George Floyd was pulled out of a car, handcuffed, and thrown on the ground while Janet Yellen remains a free woman – a person who should have been treated like a dangerous criminal destroying society.

“I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” said Janet Yellen to CNN.[2]

“Well, I am concerned about fiscal sustainability, and I am sorry that we haven’t made more progress. I believe that the deficit needs to be brought down, especially now that we’re in an environment of higher interest rates,” Yellen also stated.[3]

Yellen pointed to the interest cost of the nation’s debt, which she described as “one of the largest items responsible for the increase in the budget deficit.”

Yellen has been involved in high-level monetary policy since the Clinton administration. She served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve, Chair of the Federal Reserve, and the United States Secretary of Treasury. Yellen has participated in some of the largest inflation jumps and dollars printed in the past 25 years, with a 7% increase in 2021 and 6.5% in 2022, YoY. Roughly 6-11% of US dollars are physical, with 90% being digital.

In 2000, about 500 billion, or half a trillion dollars, were in circulation; in 2025, there are about 2.3 trillion dollars, a difference of 4.6x.

Back to Mr. Floyd, why can people like Yellen create trillions of dollars out of thin air, never to the benefit of the typical American, while George Floyd was thrown on the ground in handcuffs over $20?

There is a certain absurdity to this that is lost on most people.

Floyd, an extremely flawed character, perhaps unaware his twenty-dollar bill was fake, is dead. Derek Chauvin, another extremely flawed character who did what he was trained to do, is in prison. Billions of dollars in property were damaged or destroyed, and people were beaten and injured during the “Black Lives Matter” riots that would follow. All were initiated by policies set years ago by forces much larger than those two men.

Regarding Chauvin, Minneapolis Police Department rules permitted “neck restraints” on suspects. Under 18 U.S.C. § 472 / 480, if a person knowingly possesses, uses, or creates counterfeit money with the intent to defraud someone, they may be guilty of a Federal felony. With this in mind, what was his crime? Was Chauvin not merely doing precisely what he had been trained to do and enforcing the law to a professional and exacting degree? And his life has been ruined too.

And what about us? The hapless Americans caught in between this intense disorder? Think of the political regimes in place that had to lead to this. Somebody in China eats a bat or lets a virus escape from a lab, or whatever; open borders allow the free flow of people to and from China (indeed the entire planet), the virus makes people ill 7,000 miles away, politicians order extreme lockdowns, people lose jobs (including Floyd), inflation is out of control as official monetary policy, Floyd comes across as fake $20 at some point, tries to buy a pack of smokes and a delicious banana, Chauvin gets a call from a clerk, arrives at the scene to investigate, as the state has an interest in being the only group who may devalue the dollar, restrains Floyd who is overdosing on drugs that came into the country promiscuously due to open borders (again), and then for the entire summer, every major city in the USA was covered in broken glass.

In a way, these two characters are tragic in a Shakespearean manner. Fatefully brought together on a hot Minneapolis day at the end of May, destined to make history in the worst way.

The borders that allow for foreigners, foreign viruses, and foreign drugs to flow unabated into the United States are still open. The Federal Reserve is still making it so the common American watches the price of everything outrun their incomes. And it is still more illegal to knowingly pass a fake twenty-dollar bill than to print several trillion dollars – one is considered fraud, the other public policy. If you print $20, you’re a criminal; if you print trillions of dollars, you’re among the highest-ranked appointed officials in the country.

Floyd, Chauvin, and the fake twenty-dollar bill are avatars for things larger than themselves. They all speak to me in their odd way and what they represent. I find it regrettable that Floyd is dead, or at least that he died under such circumstances, panicked, disoriented, on drugs, pleading for help. Sadly, Chauvin was left holding the bag for the logical conclusion to policies he had no part in creating. He was almost a fall guy for something much more criminal.

And the fake twenty that kicked it all off, like Excalibur or the Holy Grail, took on a life of its own. The MacGuffin would kick off two billion dollars in riot damages that summer. Arguably, it’s the most expensive fake $20 of all time. The ultimate symbol of a liberalized America and the warped sense of justice we have come to accept.

    Interesting allegory to a Shakespeare play. I had never thought of that before. You’re right, however. The story arc perfectly follows a classic tragedy, in many ways…. The media in the west has attempted to paint an entirely different picture, haven’t they?

    I find absolutely nothing “tragic” about George Floyd’s life. Although his death was extremely useful to the political terrorist group, BLM, the actual life of  St. Fentanyl Floyd did not matter; not one bit.

      Very true. He was merely the excuse needed to get a color revolution going in earnest. If Floyd hadn’t OD and croaked, it would have been the next black who did die during a confrontation with police who would have served as The Martyr, the King of the Useful Idiots, for the usual suspects and their goals. The author calls Floyd “flawed”, which is putting it nicely for this drug addled violent thug.

        There are quite a few other police brutality incidents from the leadup to the Summer of Floyd and afterwards that the media tried to gin up into race-riots with mixed success prior to the 2020 election ─ maybe stunted because the perpetrators were outrageous scumbags like Jacob Blake that did not die after being shot for waving a knife, or that Blacks themselves had actually called the police on. We don’t even remember what triggered Kenosha, Wisconsin any longer.

        Yeah, these things are always going on in a low-key level in the background, they just don’t get raised to the level of national attention unless needed by the oligarchs. For example, a “yoot” was killed by police under much more suspicious circumstances close to where I live just into the Biden presidency, and it received only local coverage. There weren’t riots; it was just hushed up.  Their guy was in and there was no need for urban unrest anymore.  These events usually just get short local coverage, if even that, and it is quickly forgotten.

    It all took place on the backdrop of lockdown too, so the story gathered a lot more attention than it would’ve otherwise. People were at a loose end and a summer of riot fun seemed appealing to normies. Remember, normies are very low-information, they just see white cop kill black guy = angry NPC face. They don’t understand the bigger picture. Yet, they enthusiastically mouth off their ill informed opinions.

    When I saw Antony Fauci say [paraphrasing] “it’s okay to go on a BLM demo: racism is the real virus!” , as if Corona somehow would just avoid affecting anyone at BLM demos, I did think to myself this was absurd beyond coincidence and a decision was made to exploit that event.

    You also have to think more broadly the Leftist media fanned the flames of the story, in order to destabilise Trump and get their terminally ill puppet in as president.

    I can see a future (the end of Trump’s second term) where Derek is freed from jail and President Trump is putting a medal of freedom around his neck at the white house and making a funny little joke about what a nice neck he actually has. Trump will thank him on our behalf for continuing to serve the public from behind bars because by being there Derek stopped the rioting and protected a then unprepared and politically unrepresented white population from outright dindoo carnage. “Thank you Officer Chauvin,” he will say to close out that terrible chapter in American history, safe in the knowledge there’s finally been a white awakening.

      Chauvin is a liberal ZOGbot who was married to an Asian woman who kicked him to the curb when the shit went down. Chauvin is a ZOGbot pig who was trained by Israelis to treat Americans just like Palestinians. ZOG decided to crush one of their dumb goy bots as a sacrifice without batting an eye. Whatever drugs you are using, you really need to stop immediately.

        Chauvin was not taught by any Israeli how to treat Americans. As a cop, we performed a neck restraint on a criminal who ended up dying of a heart defect or fentanyl OD or a combination. He is the very definition of martyr. The President needs to pardon him.

        Man. That level of bitterness and spite and that total lack of compassion and empathy is not healthy for the person who holds it. It is also toxic for any endeavor that seeks positive action to achieve positive outcomes. Chauvin is rotting in prison and there have been attempts on his life. He no doubt faces grave danger every moment in that environment. Compassion for people who this multi-cultural, anti-White experiment has so egregiously harmed is in order. Those sorts of people may end up being the most helpful and staunch of allies. For hearts change with circumstances. If nothing else, compassion makes one and one’s cause more sympathetic.

        We know what you are against and what you blame thanks to your little temper tantrum. The wrong toy was in the toy box. Who is little Johnny going to lash out at and blame today? A man is capable of holding a center that channels righteous anger in a constructive manner. Such a man knows himself and what he is for and the world comes to know that too. Even better, that energy, once wasted on futile victim tantrums, is fuel for constructive action. Master of the inner world has a chance to become master in the outer world.

    No.

    Floyd’s effect on others was ‘tragic’.

    His existence among White people is ‘tragic’.

    But Floyd’s life was not ‘tragic’.

    Floyd’s life was an endless series of self-indulgent escapades.

    The Negro is a bioweapon directed at the White race.

    Okay, comparisons with the Fed and (((Janet Yellin))) are extremely inappropriate and utterly irrelevant here.

    That is a completely separate issue ─ like the murder of the dodgy United Health Care CEO by another dumb AF anarchist that some supposedly on the Right are attempting to lionize ala Kaczynski.

    Yeah, George Floyd tried to pass a fake $20 bill to buy his banana which would have ripped off the small business who almost took the bogus bill. The young Negro clerk at Cup Foods, which probably gets much of its business from EBT, then called the police. Strike 1.

    After doing the Banana Dance, the melanated Saint passed out in his getaway car and at some point tried to consume his entire stash of fentanyl, perhaps as the police arrived. To clarify ─ no police agency is going to let someone obviously intoxicated operate a motor vehicle. Yes, you will be arrested, WTF. Strike 2.

    When George Floyd was being arrested, he rallied his primal jungle strenth and resisted. At one time the Minnesota cops even had him in the back of a squad car, but the soon to be canonized African actually wriggled free. Like Rodney King a generation earlier, George Floyd deserved a good police ass-kicking but that is not what happened. Strike 3.

    Then “I can’t breeve” beginning when he was still in the back of the squad car, and the felon collapses onto the asphalt face-down but still resisting. The police actually called for an ambulance twice.

    So Officer Chauvin is photographed with Floyd face down on the asphalt and the officer’s knee is resting on the subject’s shoulder. Chauvin’s black-gloved hands are resting on his own thighs and not around the subject’s fleshy throat.

    Other officers at the scene outside were later convicted as assessories to the Floyd “murder” as they had nervously watched the hostile crowd of pavement apes ─ including a White coal-burning novice fire department paramedic who is adding to the rancor and photographing the incident with her cell phone like a Rodney King scoop. (Nevermind that after Rodney King’s 1991 high-speed police chase, his duskie brethren also riding in the car were not molested by the LAPD.)

    The Rodney King rioting in 1992 ─ on cue from the corporate media after the White Los Angeles officers were acquitted of brutality by a White jury ─ were just as, if not more deadly, than the 1938 Kristalnacht riots in Germany that are endlessly talked about as being incited by Dr. Goebbels ─ except the prior part about a Jewish activist assassinating a German diplomat in Paris is never metnioned, and that Hitler nearly sacked his loyal Propaganda Minister and Gauleiter of Berlin.

    After retired sportsball player and Hertz Rental Car spokesman O.J. Simpson nearly decapitated his White ex-Wife and gutted her flirty Jewish waiter friend with his pocket knife at the doorstep of her posh Brentwood-area apartment in Los Angeles in 1994, Mr. Simpson was acquitted for murder after a protracted trial where the jury was stacked with daft and surly Negresses by the prosecution ─ clearly reacting to the earlier Rodney King case and subsequent deadly rioting in the angelic city.

    In those days I was watching many raw satellite feeds (the stuff that they don’t broadcast) of what was being said by the corporate media in Los Angeles regarding Rodney King and Race matters from before the riots, so I have a good understanding of how the 1992 L.A. riots were incited and stoked by officials and the media.

    And so when the corporate media announced and continues to repeat to this day, “the murder of George Floyd,” we have a perfect setup for something like the 1992 Rodney King riots.

    The “civil unrest” of 2020 probably also had much to do with why Trump lost the election the next November, because of how the President might have over-handled the rustled Negroes, and then he did not decisively handle the race-rioting.

    In the course of this so-called murder claim, it does not matter that the police did call for medical intervention for the numinous Negro ─ but when the paramedics got there, as testified, they had to load up the corpulent Saint and immediately drive somewhere else, away from the dangerous scene, before they could even work on him.

    Who Is To Blame?

    Yeah, St. George Floyd had a fatal heart attack while exerting himself resisting arrest with near fatal levels of fentanyl in his junkie system. But Officer Derek Chauvin “murdered” him somehow?

    This is beyond Weimar levels of degeneracy.

    While the medical examiners were most eager to imply in their stilted testimony that a White police officer controlling a Negro on the ground was more than atrocious ─ with even the judge regaling the media with his Liberal Civil Rights credentials every chance that he could ─ the actual autopsy testimony was profound in that there was no bruising on St. Floyd’s neck.

    In a true example of Orwellianism in action, the fact that Floyd overdosed on fentanyl and had cardiac arrest after vigorously resisting arrest just seems irrelevant. Of course, the real enemy is White supremacy.

    The truth is that Officer Chauvin at best made an Optics faux pas. The truth is that a White police officer was there for a difficult arrest and photographed ─ rather like Bull Connor’s waterhoses and riot dogs snarling at lawless Negroes in Birmingham, Alabama in the 1960s.

    In fact, for all the “Martial Arts” testimony given at Chauvin’s trial about “blood chokes” and “air chokes” from some Magic Negro picked from the hostile crowd, there was in fact no choking of George Floyd at any time.

    As already stated, we know this because in the postmortem testimony there was no bruising on Floyd’s neck, nor the shoulder where Chauvin is resting his knee, and we can therefore conclude that Chauvin was not putting any pressure on Floyd’s body even though the subject continued resisting.

    Regardless of where Chauvin learned his takedown procedures, maintaining physical contact with an incompletely-subdued subject is important so that he knows that force will be immediate if he resumes his non-compliance. Yeah, Chauvin was lightly resting his knee on Floyd’s shoulder, good call.

    But Bad Optics. Because Negrolatry is all that we care about anymore.

    Some argue that Negroes should not be arrested and charged with shoplifting less than 900 dollars. How well is that working out for the People’s Republic of California?

    Regardless of one’s feelings on “broken window law-enforcement,” this is incredibly bad for justice. Perhaps you would not mind if a big ape grabbed a $20 bill out of your pocket with or without a dance and a proud wave of a banana. But even if the crime is “minor,” there must be an accounting.

    Even Chauvin’s defense was lackluster at best. And this was the time of Covid masks, where Chauvin was presented to the mixed-race (and likely intimidated by BLM) jury ─ and to the whole country by the corporate mass-media ─ as some kind of super-creepy monster.

    In the last five years since, there has been an attempted murder of Derek Chauvin in prison, where he received multiple stabbings, but has fortunately survived.

    The late Dr. William Luther Pierce once wrote of the “Day of the Rope” where anti-White accountability would finally come. I am very critical of his simplistic Turner Diaries approach ─ but if and when accountability does come, I hope that the gears of justice do grind finely.

      I’d be very interested in the detailed version of that, because I want to understand how the so-called “Dark Alliance” story of 1996 could become so big.

      “Dark Alliance”: A Liberal journalist named Gary Webb believed to have found evidence linking the appearance of crack cocaine in 1980s LA to the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras (who were fighting the Marxist Sandinista government at home) . This became one of the first viral memes of the early internet, mutating into the claim that crack cocaine had been deliberately spread by the CIA to poison Black people.

      That story seems to be one of the most powerfully charged memes of the conspiracy Left and I want to understand why.

        I don’t know very much about the Coke/Crack thing. All I can remember is that Nancy Reagan had her “Just Say No” to drugs slogan ─ and a lot of people thought that was a joke because of the increase of Coke usage during the Reagan regime, as well as its increased respectabilty with Yuppie scum and the Hollywood set. Also, Reagan tended to believe in open borders, which was not so helpful.

        Then the criminal laws were changed to make Crack much more serious than Coke, which supposedly was primo Rayciss. But I don’t know all that much about the subject, honestly.

        As far as my monitoring satellite feeds from Los Angeles in the late-80’s and early 90’s, I would do this while working on the TV station engineering bench calibrating an oscillator or troubleshooting a transceiver or whatever. These satellite transmissions had bulk news and B-roll and basically the raw materials with which the television sausage is made to show the public. They were not usually encrypted feeds, if I remember correctly, nor transmissions meant to be strictly confidential ─ but few people had access to esoteric satellite receivers in those days. And if I remember correctly, the cheap low-noise-amplifiers for anything above C band that made smaller satellite dishes practical in the mid-1990s were not widely available to the public yet.

        What I noticed is that in learning about the breaking news, the media was consistently obsessed by Race, and they tended to gin up race-related reporting to be as edgy as possible in the final cut ─ and especially to inflame Negro sensibilities. I think the corporate media has that art down to a science by now!

        You can still find some examples of this on YouTube from those days, where, for example, Korean shopkeepers are incessantly exasperated by badly-behaved and sticky-fingered Blacks, and the police and government will do nothing about it. One elderly Korean lady shot an obnoxious young Negress who was in full chimp mode but it did not quite justify lethal force for self-defense. Neverthless, the courts went very lenient on her and the news stoked this fact up mercilessly. It nearly led to Negro rioting before the Rodney King riots.

        What I noticed during the 2020 Summer of Floyd ─ just as a normie observer, was that the news media ─ bees telling Blacks dat dey gots to RESIST da Man or elses deys gonna be back on the plantations, muhfugga.

        This means that when cops pull Negroes over for egregious traffic and drug offenses, they resist impulsively and violently, and it does not go well for them.

        There were a few instances in the Phoenix metro area at this time (2020) but the Negrolatry is not so strong here compared to places where Tampon Tim is the governor. So these local police “outrages” did not go anywhere chimpout-wise. Most people here, with the exception of the Daniel Shaver shooting (2016) of course, were pretty appreciative of police vigilance, and they handily put down the BLM and Antifa looting pretty quickly.

          Thanks for the link, will investigate this more in-depth, but from cursory reading it looks like that article is based on originally Leftist conspiracy ideas re-purposed by the pro-Trump Right during the feverish 2016 pre-election period (note the anti-Clinton main thrust of the article).

          Originally, it was the Reagan administration that accused the Sandinistas (and other Communists) of smuggling drugs into the US. The Left responded with counter accusations that it was actually the US-backed Contras that were importing drugs.

          Then you got Far Left conspiracy types (like (((Mae Brussell))) ) who liked to interpret every bad thing that had some overlap with the activities of US intelligence agencies as wholly set up and controlled by the latter.

          In the following decades, these conspiracy narratives trickled into the conspiracy-interested parts of the Right, who usually don’t consider that there might be Leftist bias nor investigate the historical context deeper, in effect just adding a Rightist “spin” to the story.

          Claiming that “Hillary And Bill Clinton Are Criminal Masterminds Wielding Incredible Power” as that writer did sounds like Deep Statery, and also distracts from the real (ethnic) powers that be by ascribing too much power/importance to public faces like the Clintons.

            OK, so it’s Deep Statery.  That said, high-level corruption does happen.  I’m not one of those who believes that the government always works the way we were told it does in our civics classes.

            In particular, this dope operation was a rather badly-kept secret.  One journalist in particular got pretty deep into all that, until he got Breitbarted.  Although one could write it off as hearsay, I’ve read a former military air traffic controller discussing how he was told to cover things up for these special deliveries.

            Where the leftist narrative gets it wrong is the accusation that the government was deliberately getting ghetto Blacks hooked on crack as chemical warfare to commit genocide.  (This is close to verbatim from some leftist material I’ve read.)  The truth is that a rogue element of the government was importing dumb dust and distributing it to big cities (LA, etc.)  In other words, they were indeed making it available locally, but nobody was forcing the Blacks to cook it into rocks and smoke them.  Although this falls short of the full leftist accusation, it was a remarkably lousy thing to do, and looked especially hypocritical since the President recently declared a “war on drugs”.

            I agree that the idea appears very compelling at first glance, but it really is just a powerfully-charged meme promoted by true believers (like the writer you linked to) who treat speculation like proven fact – and don’t seem to know (or care) much about the history of the drug trade (it’s only interesting when part of a gov conspiracy!).

            Here’s not the place to explain exactly why I think that, but I want to note three points nevertheless:

            a) the journalist you referred to was Gary Webb, who commited suicide 8 years (!) after his story accusing the CIA of drug-trafficking went viral (and 6 years after the follow-up book came out). He had been completely forgotten at that point so killing him would have been the most counterproductive thing possible

            b) anti-government paranoia became part of American pop culture in the 70s (Watergate, “Year of Intelligence”). From that point on, there would be a whole lore of mostly untrue but true-seeming conspiratorial accusations against the US gov, specifically its most defense-related and anti-Communist agencies (!). We know how easily both paranoid people and Leftists can lose grounding with reality, and it’s also been proven (Mitrokhin Archive, Eastern defectors) that the KGB was sponsoring Western conspiracy literature against the CIA and inventing & spreading conspiracy theories itself (e.g. AIDS being an US bioweapon)

            c) parts of the Left pushed the idea of gov-supported drug dealing because Reagan’s cabinet was intensifying its “War on Drugs”, so they could accuse Reagan & Co of unique levels of hypocrisy

    I think the whole $20 thing is the media downplaying the crime. I read what was reportedly the shopkeeper’s statement. It said that George and his friends came in and tried to buy stuff with fake money – he said they had a stack of fake bills, making it very unlikely they were unaware – and when he refused to accept it they got angry and robbed the store in a strong-arm robbery. The shopkeeper followed them out demanding they return the goods and they threatened and/or verbally abused him, at which point he decided to call the police.

    “people were beaten and injured during the ‘Black Lives Matter’ riots that would follow” In addition, at least 20 were killed.

    Other than that, your bigger point is well-taken.

    Brilliant article, excellent analysis of the forces working in the background. I almost got the impression “cosmic irony” was in action. 🙃

    Look at the bright side, window replacement companies made a killing that summer—so it wasn’t all bad! 🪟

    Love the article.  Those two or three years during the COVID nonsense was like a fever dream.  Looking back I can’t believe it happened.  Lockdowns, sheer panic, BLM riots, summer of love; it was a country that went insane.  However since we are a people now that value reactionists and emotions rather than logic and reason, it makes sense.  I think it was a starting point of something much worse to come.

      That hell was definitely orchestrated. There’s no way the managerial class could be that clueless about virology. A la wef.

      i am open to the theory that inertia and policy adjuncts not wanting yo rock the boat, as well as bill gates types buying all the scientists off during recent years, paid a policy. However that’s pretty disgusting too.

    You know, while I am completely on page with the ideas expressed by most in this comments thread, most people out there are completely invested in the mainstream point of view on the “murder” of George Floyd.  I live in a red state, even a “racist state” lol, and when I try to explain the truth of George Floyd, I meet with steely statements of  “no.”  It’s like they don’t even humor me, like im an unserious person saying stupid things.  People, even conservatives, think I’m a delusional racist and Floyd was obviously killed in a violent murder.  We are not close to any sort of awakening on this matter.  It’s real history as far as the vast majority of normies are concerned, even very intelligent people.

      You can point out the facts of a case to a lot of people and they still refuse to see the truth. When it was brought up that George Floyd held a gun to a pregnant woman during a previous robbery, a lot of people said that it didn’t matter or became angry when that particular point was brought up. Even former president George Bush participated in a solidarity march for George Floyd. When the true facts about the incidents in Ferguson, MO and Baltimore came out, it didn’t matter, the blacks rioted anyway. The political leadership in these different areas knew this, they chose to be passive about it.
