Despite the overwhelming presence of far-right and openly white nationalist activists in the Capitol, the right-wing has exploited Sullivan’s presence to blame the left for a catastrophe that Trump inspired. A recent Data For Progress/Vox poll showed how the right’s narrative has broken through, with 47% of Americans and 68% of Republicans holding Antifa responsible for inciting the violence in the US Capitol on January 6.

It’s beyond mind boggling.

multiple fronts by groups with varying agendas. Bystanders and enthusiastic, naive idealists have the potential to become collateral damage. During our lifetimes media coverage of USA foreign encounters have made many of us desensitized to the destruction military, intelligence agencies and collaborators have on individual lives and communities.

Epoch Times has a very anti-China biased reporting and not a source I would normally offer. The original video and analysis in this segment is interesting. (mins 1.42-6.42)

This article by Matt Blumenthal for the Grayzone profiling John Sullivan demonstrates how varying narratives of BLM/Antifa and Trump Supporters could be used to assign responsibility for events.

Through interviews with Sullivan, his brother, a video-journalist documenting his exploits, and Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists who have encountered him, an unsettling portrait has emerged that stands at stark odds with the pro-Trump narrative about the notorious instigator. While Sullivan has attempted to brand himself as a BLM leader, he has been effectively locked out from activist communities across the country, where he is almost universally regarded as a dangerous provocateur.

@enhydra lutris plant sales. In NY, they are overseen by Cornell U. Lots and lots of local seed and plant providers throughout the country now. These folks need our support. The increasing demand for both plants and seeds is a standing invitation to some deep pocketed outfit to try to establish a monopoly.

are willing to provide assurances that they are providing milkweed that is native to the local area. There are a great number of cultivars of milkweed and the pollinators native to or normally migratory through one's area greatly prefer the local natives. There was also some flap withing the last few years about "tropical milkweed", a commonly sold version, harboring a Monarch parasite, but that simply requires that one be aware of the problem and severely prune said milkweed at specific times/intervals.

be well and have a good one

@Dawn's Meta now can we? I guess being shot in one's bed is justifiable homicide in ameriKKKa also. If it was justifiable why pay the family a restitution? What a country we are. Moving to France was maybe the best decision you've ever made?

Fredrick Allen Hampton (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969) was an American activist and revolutionary socialist.[4] He came to prominence in Chicago as chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP), and deputy chairman of the national BPP. In this capacity, he founded the Rainbow Coalition, a prominent multicultural political organization that initially included the Black Panthers, Young Patriots, and the Young Lords, and an alliance among major Chicago street gangs to help them end infighting and work for social change.

In 1967, Hampton was identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a radical threat. The FBI tried to subvert his activities in Chicago, sowing disinformation among black progressive groups and placing a counterintelligence operative in the local Panthers. In December 1969, Hampton was shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment by a tactical unit of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation; during the raid, Panther Mark Clark was also killed and several others were seriously wounded. In January 1970, a coroner's jury held an inquest and ruled the deaths of Hampton and Clark to be justifiable homicide.[5][6][7][8]

A civil lawsuit was later filed on behalf of the survivors and the relatives of Hampton and Clark. It was resolved in 1982 by a settlement of $1.85 million; the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the federal government each paid one-third to a group of nine plaintiffs. Given revelations about the illegal COINTELPRO program and documents associated with the killings, many scholars now consider Hampton's death an assassination under the FBI's initiative.[1][2][3]

#12 #12 Fred Hampton, I looked him up. For our times, I am surprised at the amount of information implicating COINTELPRO, the FBI, Chicago Police and district attorney. There are a number of books which have been written, documentaries and films some coming out this year.

The documentation in the Wiki page on Fred Hampton is amazing in its in depth coverage, source material and references.

ETA: I hope this is within fair use. It the opening paragraphs of the extensive Wiki article.

Patriot Act II is COINTELPRO.

@magiamma

to remove at least some of the methane and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so that we can at least, if we run hard, manage to stay in the same place? Then we could buy enough time to make changes.

My political outlook would change completely were that the case.
But it seems that the elites want a climate-driven collapse and the subsequent ending of human civilization and several billion human lives (plus countless non-human lives of course, but who thinks about them?)

Great to see you. I wonder how their fusion system works. Maybe someone here with more physics background can dig into this. It's fusion. It's hot. Really hot. Fascinating. No idea how they have done this. As to the weather, that I would think would require creating a temperature variation over a big area where the rain would fall. How they do this? They say they are using reflectors sprinkled over a large area to cool or to warm a large area. That's all the information they give. I wonder how that will affect the jet stream and how the reflectors would work in high wind. Maybe they are in the lower stratosphere. That would make some sense. Pretty amazing what can be done if our taxes are not spent on the MIC.

Take good care.
