From Lockdown to Police Curfew
The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.

First the reporters and journalists, now the nurses and first aiders. SHOOTING A MEDICAL TENT IS A WAR CRIME ! I am at a loss for words. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/XfOVS6mpvt

Cops know they're being filmed and still do everything we've seen today. Think about how protected they feel that they don't fear any consequences whatsoever.

More peaceful protestors and journalists have been jailed in the past week than all the bankers who were jailed for fraud during the financial collapse.

Share widely: National guard and MPD sweeping our residential street. Shooting paint canisters at us on our own front porch. Yelling “light em up” #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #JusticeForGeorge #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/bW48imyt55

An interesting/troubling event
Fox
Some more
But you know...
If Trump's re-elected we'll have what we've already got, and that's just too scary to contemplate. Better to elect Joe Biden against his will, and then we can have what Joe Biden promised us: everything the same.
Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide

Well played, Cass!
With all those ironies, have you found any magneties?

Finally a headline that get's it right
I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish
"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"

Curfew declared in Arizona.

We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
Yikes!
This reminds me of the '67 riots in Detroit when I was a boy. Except police now are quasi-military and would kill us all if they're allowed to go on a rampage.
It's all a bit surreal in the Twin Cities metro
Fortunately we're not policed by the MPD, but we're still subject to curfew.
Local stores boarded up in anticipation.
Anyway, we've got less than a couple of hours to go walking, so good luck everyone.
I hope that bastard policeman thinks long and hard about what he did and caused.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
walk
Note: The next passage contains considerable snark.
Walk for your two hours.
Then keep walking until you encounter US Highway 85. You'll be in North Dakota. Hang a left. Proceed until you've crossed three State Lines. You are now in Colorado. Find a County to live in and set up housekeeping.
/snark?

Probably easier to take I90 to Rapid City, SD
Turn left, wander on south, and then voila.
Rapid City is much recommended by the way. Lovely small downtown.

I hope so, too
Of course, he probably won't unless he feels forced to...they'd have to "keep a boot on his neck", as they say....

Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
Astounded but not
surprised that the role of provocateurs is mentioned neither in news reports or by the Internet denizens of political sites.
There's been piles of bricks placed at demonstration sites in several instances. As far as Antifa: mission accomplished!
And when you realize that state security has been infiltrating popular demand organizations since the 1880s; that infiltrators are usually about 16% of the org in the past century (even an elderly Quaker peace group in 2003 or so?)...
And among these infiltrators are those most vigorous in advocating violence...
Add it together and Antifa serves the enhancement of fascistic power. If Antifa didn't exist the fascists would have had to invent it. Is it really a coincidence, is there some metaphysical difference between the violence -- and results! -- of state provocateurs and self-styled People's agents?
Not a hairsbreadth.

Is it nuts to consider that they did?
Well, I didn't want to say
but I don't think I'd lose on a bet.
Orwell: Where's the omelette?
I hope you aren't talking about this.
Take a close look at this supicious pile.
These are street pavers next to a project in work.
Most all of the pictures I've seen are of this type.
Absolute bullshit news.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Curious.
There are bricks magically appearing even in areas with no construction at all and areas with no bricks of that type in use. Maybe there's an invisible bricklayer working in multiple cities.

the laying of bricks
apparently staged at the local home depot
is a threat to preventing the rebellious humans
from questioning the authorities advantage
by cutting our consumerism down some more
or protecting business from 'looting'
you decide which is more truthy
question everything
Obviously
It reeks of it
Well, I see one good thing
It's good to see Cornel West is being allowed to show up on CNN - wasn't he "in the doghouse" for quite a while back there?

Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
Not with Anderson and Don Lemon! ;-D Seriously,
West is all over Cable Teevee, all the time. And, Michael Moore has regular bookings on both CNN and MSNBC. BTW, West even shows up on Fox, as a counter to the AA conservative activist who started so-called 'Blexit.'
(We hear good bit of cable news on XM Radio--as background noise, so to speak.)

~~Gilda Radner, Comedienne
Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
no amount of bricks and cornel mortar
will change the wave of rebellion
people are expressing
go out and talk to the people
most are saying f*ck this shit
shut us down
expect response
question everything
Not that pile. The others for
sure, but it's just one line among many saying white kids from outside are the ones coming into peaceful demonstrations and starting "trashing" To deny that there are provocateurs, both from State security and stooges on the left is ridiculous.
Orwell: Where's the omelette?
not denying the bricks or 'incoming kids'
are responsible for this line of BS but
to think that (your word) provocateurs
are somehow making this shit up is missing
the point that people are pissed off
It is not about bricks
It is not about white kids from where ever
Stay to the point
It is about humans loosing their freedoms and dignity
for what? Safety? Address these issues. please.
question everything
The point: Rocks are thrown
and buildings fired and what happens next?
The police feel remorse and decide that they'll not practice nor allow criminal violence against citizens any more? The one percent will say "dang I feel so bad that QMS had his windows broken and Jim P's business burnt and injustice reigns against minorities we're going to abandon our fascist agenda"?
Really?
No: here's what the fuck is really going to happen. Powerless people will, as it were, "get their rocks off" and express themselves -- and we've had generations of programming that expressing feelings are effective action -- and in the meantime the Facists will gain more legislative cover and the general public will get buffaloed into approving of that fascistic enhancement WHILE being fully distracted from the legitimate demands for redress of grievance.
Any other expectation of different results is delusional, and can only come from valuing transient emotional satisfaction instead of reason in the light of experience.

Re: The Doors
In case anyone doubted it, Jim Morrison really was that gorgeous and electrifying on stage in their early days.
Gat ya there
out here we is stoned and immaculate
question everything
or if you are further out west
makes me soul shimmy
question everything
