During the trucker protest in Ottawa there were photos - impossible to find now - of the lone, Nazi flag-carrying young male of a certain physique (*cough* cop *cough*) that was spotted entering the Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa, the swankiest hostelry in town. The flag looked brand new, still creased as if it had just been taken out of the box. That individual was used to smear the entire protest and its participants, and the media had a field day with it. During the convoy protests, that hotel was the headquarters for federal and provincial police who were busy stomping on old ladies and deflating bouncy castles.
That individual was never caught or identified to this day.
I remember her pieces. They stood out only because she was the *only* one looking into it, and you would think the CBC et al. would be all over the story in order to justify their pre-baked narratives of the convoy being an "alt-right, white supremacist" invasion. The fact that they and the rest of the Canadian MSM *didn't* look into it tells me some fuckery was afoot.
Remember-nan, cara, nia, nina, etc? All posting the exact same "tiny/url" link all over Substack 3 months ago? They were all bots. Thank goodness we all caughton relitively quick and they disappeared.
There is a group of 4 men known as the "Coutts Four" who were arrested in connection with an Alberta border crossing protest that was set up in support of the Trucker Freedom Convoy. They are accused of plotting to murder RCMP officers.
(Long story short - the charges are as trumped up and ridiculous as those levelled at the Jan. 6ers. What they are really guilty of is making Justin Trudeau's shut down of the Truckers protest look bad.)
All four men were/are being held in "remand" without bail, for really ridiculous charges. Two have recently been released, and the remaining two are now standing trial in Lethbridge, Alberta - Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert.
Tony O is actually accused with having a pipe bomb at his premises- but it turns out that he was living at, and mining, a gravel pit - the explosives were for legal procurement of gravel.
You can't make this shit up - and yet they do, day in and day out.
Here's some great background on the case if you're interested:
“Keep voting Democrat ... One day they will restrict your freedoms, restrict your history and restrict your safety. All in the name of professional victims that don’t understand the consequences of their ignorance.”
Ronald Reagan
That seems prescient....and pretty easy to predict given the Left has always believed the government is the safety net of first resort rather than individual responsibility.
Even a little tic tac will output some testosterone. I think that might be overstating the reality here.
Power is so seductive. And the regime does pressure everyone who lands in office to come on-side. And once you've compromised (the lie that the art of politics is compromise, its not and never has been) you then trade everything you have to keep your post. I have become deeply suspicious of ANYONE who lands in power at the state or federal level. The game is played fast and is you against an army. Very hard to hold serve in that environment.
This is exactly what they did by "hiding" Bidens mental decline.
You're right. Power lust is more powerful than a thousand suns. Methinks they never intended to keep him in office if he got reelected. That said, power has a sidecar of arrogance that is usually it's kryptonite.
They just thought he was their best chance. And in their hubris they thought they could guess how long before it was obvious to everyone that Biden was out to pasture...because they thought they were going to win.
Hell, at this point it wouldn't surprise me to find out Jill brokered that deal. And now she's the odd man out because she "oversold" the "deal".
They'll eventually bring out the long knives and then throw her under the bus.
What is interesting is the democrotats have no one better or even equal to an impaired Biden on the bench. Their choices are uniformly less desirable than the marionette in chief. I started wondering how they got there and realized that the identity politics and all that argle-bargle has really pushed the incapable and unlikeable to the forefront for them.
Harris is a particular liability, and you have to wonder if tapping her for VP was a particularly cynical decision, a form of protection for Mr. Mumbles.
The 25th amendment says the VP and cabinet get to put a dunce cap on the president once there are elevator failures for the upper floors. Congress has impeachment, but not for incapacity. It must comes from inside the administration. I think at the time it was assumed an administration wouldn't risk the future of the country in order to stay in power. I get it. Any other way of dealing with this would end up being a plebiscite and be over used.
That rank hypocrisy can make Republicans assailable (at least at the local level).
Forget the national level, but you can effect change at the local level by putting-up candidates who understand and champion limited constitutional government and the requisite corollaries: nullification and secession.
I remember the January 6th "insurrection" well. Capital police killed two unarmed women and the miniscule damage to the Capitol was cleaned up in 5 hours. The vote to certify voter fraud was only delayed 6 hours.
What the rioters brought to a screeching halt was the discussion of voter fraud in five states. Republicans had objected to including those states in the count based on letters from those states citing election irregularities. Those objections resulted in the scheduling of two hour discussions on both the floors of the House and the Senate for each state to present evidence of voter fraud. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/congress-electoral-college-vote-count-2021/h_f833a742e8a237f987546ab0841eed51 This was Trump's best shot at presenting his case on national television for fraud. It was shut down, never to be pursued again by the riots. Late that night Pelosi forced the vote under emergency rules without further discussion. The states had requested that Pence delay acceptance of their vote tallies for 10 days while they pursued those allegations in their legislatures. This is what Pence refused to do.
Well wasn't that just convenient. That the only way for Pelosi to invoke the emergency vote was happening at that particular moment. Around these parts we call that a conspiracy.
The cop who killed her may have been an idiot too but thrusting oneself through broken windows to get further into a barricaded room is the height of stupidity and is not an innocent action.
It was stupid and tragic. She seemed to get caught up in the moment and paid the ultimate price. I also remember people shouting "Don't go into the Capital. Its a trap!" But in they went, even escorted through by Capital Police. But a trap it was, and many are still sitting in prison for nothing more than trespassing. This is an object lesson for us all, and may have prevented other traps from being sprung. I was in some of the protests of the early 1970s that our curious cat wrote about. There were always organizers urging the crowd into confrontations with police. The whole thing was cooled by the Kent State shootings of students by National Guard soldiers no older than the protesting students.
I also participated in protests in the 60s. That's why it's so disheartening to me to see fake protests and then all the comments about protests in general. Protests, especially ones that impeded daily activities, were how things got noticed. But black is white and white is black and we are all in Seinfeld's bizarro world now.
There were so many FBI and CIA operatives there that day, that for all we know, she was one of them and it was an accident. We’ll never be told the truth, same as we will never be allowed to see all the JFK assassination investigation files.
If there’s anything I learned from reading Game of Thrones, it’s don’t go to far off lands to play political games. Stay home and defend your castle.
I remember him saying that. I was a huge fan and saw several of his concerts. One day my GF and I were hitch hiking to Madison to see Zappa and the Mothers concert and a bus pulled over and picked us up. They asked where are we going and I said "we are coming to see you" pulling out the tickets. This was when Jean-Luc Ponty and Flo and Eddie were in the band. We were invited to watch the sound checks and some rehearsal, and came back for a great concert after dinner. Good times. I would happily time travel back to the 1970s.
Apparently you didn’t watch what happened leading up to her being murdered by Gun Waving Byrd.
Antifa was breaking the window.
Ashli punched the guy in the face. Pushed him aside and was protecting the chamber you feckless clown.
Swat was coming up the stairs.
There was never any danger , except by Byrd. He was waving his gun around, finger on the trigger. Pointed at guys heads in chamber, and apparently, it went off after Ashli was murdered, and it grazed a guys head.
'It is more useful for our purposes here to be truthful.' Thank you for that.
On J6 there was definitely an element that trespassed and caused damage. Regardless of the level of the damage, the fact remains that some people broke the law.
I'm not arguing that those people are now being treated fairly by the Government. But it's just not true that J6 was 'peaceful'.
When I discuss this with my Friend From Fifth Grade, who insists that it was an insurrection and I respond that it was a riot, I always emphasize that I support charges for criminal acts and not those which are not justly warranted.
Exactly, jan 6th was contrived from the very beginning to....cause as little damage as possible, dismiss legitimate voter fraud evidence that was being presented that day by redirecting attention to RIOT RIOT RIOT, rush through a voter fraud certification since anyone who didnt would be labelled an "insurrectionist", and create a pretense for the indefinite future to marginalize all Trump supporters as "insurrectionists".
And election deniers. After all the media tells us that the only people who believed in voter fraud were a drunk Giuliani and a feckless lawyer named John Eastmen. Trump himself didn't even really believe it. To this day, a favorite litmus test is acceptance that there was no fraud. Don't you dare go there.
As I’ve said before, I spend enough time in campgrounds to know who these people don’t look like.
I suspect there are a few genuine loonies being groomed around the edges, but most camp-chair-stretching flag-thumpers (and I say this with some affection; after all, I told you I’m in the campground, too) who wants to argue with me about what the Blood of Patriots means in the current context has a belt I could use as a tow strap, usually with auxiliary suspenders.
The top clip is from the Netherlands, and let me tell you as someone who was there during lockdown and vaccine passport protests, there was none of this velvet glove treatment. You did not want to be there when the swat team rolled up in armored cars or the horses and dogs came out. Luckily, I always left on time. Many people were seriously injured and a few organizers are still being dragged through the courts after serious jail time.
Meanwhile, we hear nothing about what we call "Romeo's," the black shirt, jeans and balaclava wearing military men who pour out of unmarked vans in the middle of wrong-think protestors and start raining blows so the police could move in and break up the peaceful crowd. Plenty of those videos around.
Perhaps just as suspicious are the conspicuous piles of bricks along protest routes that are clearly not there for building works. That's also been documented here and I believe in Canada as well. So just some extra confirmation for what we all know to be true. It's not organic and the best way to stop it is call it out. Thank you for doing that.
Oh, PS: The Dutch police have also shot at and killed wrong-think protestors, so that's the extreme story that gets zero play from the media. Thank GOD for Twitter.
Heard the same about bricks being conspicuously piled near businesses in Huntington Beach, CA, before some sort of protest, and community members found them and cleared them out before some sort of leftist protest came to town that morning.
It is also important to note that the amount of money - American tax dollars- that has flowed into every imaginable NGO both here and around the world thanks to the Biden administration has been off the charts, and enabled, funded and fueled most, if not all of these government-policy-aligned protests, to speak nothing of the aiding and abetting of the mammoth influx of illegal immigrants. Between the US dollars and the plethora of foundations and foreign governments also in league with these groups there’s an ocean of cash available to keep them churning out their crap ad nauseum.
As for the polo-shirt-khaki’d Patriot Front actors, they were created to solve the Feds problem that there just was not enough actual “white supremacy” in the country that actually existed so they had to manufacture a group (probably a bunch of potential FBI recruits) to make it seem like there really is a “threat” and that they are everywhere!! Eek!! It must be kind of like a fraternity hazing for those recruits to have to participate in them. How humiliating.
They must have been SO disappointed that the NY "hush money" verdict didn’t result in rioting. Those poor polo shirt khaki guys were probably stuffed into U-Hauls for hours just waiting…
Oh they don’t get involved in any real rioting - they run away!
A group from the Poor Boys or some such, confronted them once in order to demask them and they ran in every direction trying to hide their faces, and disappeared! Hilarious!!
The demand for "white supremacists" and "racism" by the media and the current administration greatly exceeds the supply so they had to create their own. Now it gives the corporate press endless scary images and talking points to show over and over. Thankfully, their audience is shrinking by the day.
I've been watching the Pro-Palestine protesters here w/a skeptical eye since the beginning of the latest troubles. More than half of any given group of them are still wearing COVID masks. Seems like Soros has funded many of the feeder organizations & some of the student leaders. It seems like almost everything we see in the public square is just an operation. Harks back to Mao's Cultural Revolution.
Some of these Patriot Fronters have been "arrested"?
Where are the mugshots and police blotter items with names and addresses (or at least hometowns)?
The police are required to publish the information of those whom they arrest. If the police don't, they become the Gestapo who can disappear people at will and that is truly nasty stuff. So it is bedrock American police practice to disclose arrest details.
when the arrests happened outside of coeur d’alene, the newspaper listed about 25 names. the article is easy to find the last time I looked. just type in Patriot Front arrest coeur d’alene or something similar. when this happened I did my best to google all the names. I think about 5 or 6 came back to “real” people, including the leader, Rosseau.
but the silence on this event was deafening. for the first time the press had the opportunity to doxx and cancel a group of admitted white supremacists and yet…crickets.
I’m still waiting on anyone to do a real deep dive on this issue.
I am convinced that the Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil groups are functionally the same. Kabuki theatre for the cameras with two important goals. The first is to propagate media opportunities to have the interviewer show support for the cause whilst criticising the approach, it’s called ‘nudging’. Watch how many media interviews include words like “I support what you’re doing, just not how you’re doing it”. Who cares what a media talking head supports?
The second is classic Hegelian dialectic; create a bogeyman so despised by the public that they demand that the state brings fourth legislation to suppress such protest. Of course “such protest” quickly evolves into protest that the state wishes to suppress tomorrow.
I do not much warm - in the context of the rich Western world - to 'activists' and 'protestors' full stop. 'In places like Iran and Afghanistan where protesting is brave and dangerous it's a different thing altogether and is a noble thing. In the spoilt-brat West though, it's high time we de-sanctified the idea. Here's my 'protest': "What do we want? ...campus brats to p*** off.... When do we want it?.... Now!"
1. Purely "organic" group of white supremacists (all appearing to be very physically fit white males between the ages of 18 and 25) who "got together" and organized a march, got the identical outfits, to accomplish what exactly?
2. False Flag operation run by the DNC.
3. False Flag operation run by the deep state.
option 1. is extremely unlikely.
option 2. is a credible possibility.
option 3. is highly likely.
Think about it. Every single participant looks like they just got out of boot camp (which is a far cry from the actual physical appearance of what that demographic should look like) . The masks prevent the internet media sleuths from connecting the dots and cross referencing the participants to all of the other events( they are probably all of the same recruits that show up to all of the "front's" public outings. And the kicker is, "what is actually accomplished" by these marches? (i would argue that it is only for a photo op, to give the DNC and deep state some boogie man to talk about)
If I really tried, I could almost believe they are somehow more fit than the average group of Americans. But I can’t believe that there’s not *one* fat guy or scrawny guy in the whole crowd.
Not that the FBI's Patriot Front actors came from this particular organization, but for years Rush referred to the Rent-A-Mob crowd. And they DO exist.
"Crowds on Demand is your home for impactful advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, PR stunts, crowds for hire and corporate events. Services available nationwide."
“is patriot front just a nasty group cozy with nasty authorities or is it quite literally a false flag by a regime to desirous of stirring up the impression of the very danger they will cite when demanding extra-constitutional powers to save us therefrom? “
there is only one who claims to be a community organizer.... and he has some friends like Bill Ayers and Anita Dunn and Peniteniary Face Brennen are just s few. What an evil Saul Alinsky worshiping bunch a criminals
The world is on fire and it is only going to get worse.
What I don't understand is how many seem to be in favor of globalists/corporatists in charge, putting people into crowded virtual 15-minute gulags, monitoring all activities...and eating bugs.
And STILL call it "democracy."
I have suspected for many years that the US will either erupt in a civil war or secession. I'm about ready to negotiate secession. I'd rather live through the growing pains of a new constitutional republic that die under a jack-booted communist.
Secession would involve population transfer on the scale of the partition of India. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just saying. The government brings in illegals and flies them to "red" states. Even in "blue" states like mine a third of the people are Republicans or conservatives.
I have to mention Texas. I don't know the place, but I was there recently. In San Antonio I saw tourists and Mexicans, and at least half of the signs were in Spanish. I did not feel like I was in America. Texas is on track to become a White-minority state, if it isn't already, and I don't see any effort to stop it.
If Norman Rockwell's America ever really existed, it's gone, and it's not coming back in any form.
OkBoomer, the SW border states have always had a mix of Anglo & Mexican (& in some cases Indian) - “Tri-culture in AZ & NM. It’s never been uncommon for there to be signage, customs, food & place names to be Spanish or in Spanish too. I was born & raised in AZ & have now lived in NM 34 years & it’s all normal to me (altho the massive illegal invasion of the last few years & NOT predominantly from Mexico is very new & deeply concerning). I guess if you’ve never been to a border state, it might seem foreign.
I live in a neighborhood where Spanish is the predominant language. Many of my Spanish speaking bilingual neighbors are 3rd and even 4th generation American Citizens. The number of American flags flown by my neighbors is pretty amazing. You might not recognize this neighborhood as being American, but I certainly do.
I was at the park with my granddaughter listening to the kids play, and they were speaking Spanish and English all mixed up together. It sounds chaotic, but I found it engaging.
If you know your history, you know that non-English speaking enclaves are very common in our history. My Great Grandmother spoke German and only German until she was 11 years old. Church and School were both taught in German. This was prior to WWI and all that changed thanks to W. Wilson et al who turned the US into a fear based authortarian place.
Her parents were homesteaders in north west Iowa. They were definitely part of the melting pot, which for them Hat einen Vorgeschmack auf das Mutterland.
Agree Angus. The Spanish & Mexicans & Indians were the inhabitants of & owned the West (until very recently when the US usurped) & have been multigenerational Americans now for a very long time. I love it. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t some longstanding disagreements w/ the Tri-cultures but overall everyone gets along.
We lived in New Mexico for awhile a decade ago, and I read an article about how they had gotten linguists to work on making the really serious signs comprehensible, in English, to the indigenous, the Spanish (from many different countries), to tourists and to Anglos. The signs we found so poetic, "Gusty Winds May Exist," were phrased to make as many people as possible aware that gusts could knock your semi or SUV off the road.
Take a trip to Miami if you want a Latin American experience in the USA.
We plan to move to an upscale red-red county in a red-red state where plenty of water is available (33,000ac reservoir,) farms and ranches close by, and a vigilant police force and no-nonsense-in-my-jurisdiction judges.
A place where progs would NEVER consider living in or near.

ALEXA LAVOIE of REBEL NEWS did an excellent article exposing the Nazi flag carrier.
.
Her detailed study of the camera locations of that event illustrated how it was a carefully orchestrated PHOTO OP, likely by RCMP operatives.

I remember her pieces. They stood out only because she was the *only* one looking into it, and you would think the CBC et al. would be all over the story in order to justify their pre-baked narratives of the convoy being an "alt-right, white supremacist" invasion.

Yes. that was great work by Alexa and Rebel News.
Highly recommended you search it out from I believe sometime in 2022
Remember that very well. Thanks for bringing that up to remind us. It was very likely RCMP.

I remember that one lone "Nazi" well, and have often wished that one person had had the presence of mind to follow him "home" (or to "wherever").

Brilliant.
I remember the January 6th "insurrection" well. Capital police killed two unarmed women and the miniscule damage to the Capitol was cleaned up in 5 hours. The vote to certify voter fraud was only delayed 6 hours.
I wonder if the rubber bullets sprayed buckshot into an unsuspecting crowd escalated the situation?
They knew what they were doing.

Yup. Great insights as usual

Informative and cogent. Highly appreciated.
Riots?
The coup attempt where Second Amendment "gun nuts" arrived unarmed.. fun story!
That idiot Ashley Babbitt was in fact climbing through a broken window when she got herself shot for doing it.
It is more useful for our purposes here to be truthful.
You appear confused.
She was unarmed and killed by Capitol police. So it's true. Nor sure what your "purposes" are, but they aren't aligned with mine.
She's an "idiot" for climbing through the window? Maybe not the wisest move, but not a justified shooting by any metric.
It was a clear message from the regime. You will be killed. And no one will be held accountable.
The cop who killed her may have been an idiot too but thrusting oneself through broken windows to get further into a barricaded room is the height of stupidity and is not an innocent action.
It was stupid and tragic. She seemed to get caught up in the moment and paid the ultimate price. I also remember people shouting "Don't go into the Capital. Its a trap!"

"Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex"
- Zappa
I remember him saying that. I was a huge fan and saw several of his concerts. One day my GF and I were hitch hiking to Madison to see Zappa and the Mothers concert and a bus pulled over and picked us up. They asked where are we going and I said "we are coming to see you" pulling out the tickets. This was when Jean-Luc Ponty and Flo and Eddie were in the band. We were invited to watch the sound checks and some rehearsal, and came back for a great concert after dinner. Good times. I would happily time travel back to the 1970s.
It's never good to be lousy at one's job.
Just curious. Would you also say that idiot George Floyd passed bad currency then resisted arrest and got killed for doing so?
'Saint' Floyd died from fentanyl overdose, not from resisting arrest.
He was sitting in the car flipping out for 10 minutes saying 'Ah caint breeve, ah caint breeve' before being put in a nonlethal submission hold.
Why do you ask?
The question is rhetorical and you know exactly why I asked.
Yes, I do know why you asked but I see no reason to satisfy your rhetorical gauntlet.
Nicely done
3 letter handle SCA, your day job in a 3 letter agency?
My God you figured it out.
Hey, either you're abysmally ignorant or you're a paid shill, I'm just giving you the benefit of a doubt. ;-)
Seriously though today, on the street or on the net, you can't be sure which team they're on.
Shill
Take it any way that suits you.
Apparently you didn’t watch what happened leading up to her being murdered by Gun Waving Byrd.
Antifa was breaking the window.
Ashli punched the guy in the face. Pushed him aside and was protecting the chamber you feckless clown.
Swat was coming up the stairs.
There was never any danger , except by Byrd. He was waving his gun around, finger on the trigger. Pointed at guys heads in chamber, and apparently, it went off after Ashli was murdered, and it grazed a guys head.
So nice try CNN pablum drinker.
What a wonderful piece of fan fiction you've produced there, kid.
'It is more useful for our purposes here to be truthful.' Thank you for that.
On J6 there was definitely an element that trespassed and caused damage. Regardless of the level of the damage, the fact remains that some people broke the law.
I'm not arguing that those people are now being treated fairly by the Government. But it's just not true that J6 was 'peaceful'.
How much of the damage was done by government agents among the crowd?
It's quite possible, in my opinion probable that J6 _was_ peaceful but for government provocateurs.
I think it's quite possible too.
When I discuss this with my Friend From Fifth Grade, who insists that it was an insurrection and I respond that it was a riot, I always emphasize that I support charges for criminal acts and not those which are not justly warranted.
That's how I feel, but "being reasonable" is so out of fashion these days.

That's why the two main political sides are both losers.
Exactly, jan 6th was contrived from the very beginning to....cause as little damage as possible, dismiss legitimate voter fraud evidence that was being presented that day by redirecting attention to RIOT RIOT RIOT, rush through a voter fraud certification since anyone who didnt would be labelled an "insurrectionist", and create a pretense for the indefinite future to marginalize all Trump supporters as "insurrectionists".
And election deniers. After all the media tells us that the only people who believed in voter fraud were a drunk Giuliani and a feckless lawyer named John Eastmen. Trump himself didn't even really believe it. To this day, a favorite litmus test is acceptance that there was no fraud. Don't you dare go there.
As I’ve said before, I spend enough time in campgrounds to know who these people don’t look like.
I suspect there are a few genuine loonies being groomed around the edges, but most camp-chair-stretching flag-thumpers (and I say this with some affection; after all, I told you I’m in the campground, too) who wants to argue with me about what the Blood of Patriots means in the current context has a belt I could use as a tow strap, usually with auxiliary suspenders.
And these guys aren’t ever Nazis, ever.
The top clip is from the Netherlands, and let me tell you as someone who was there during lockdown and vaccine passport protests, there was none of this velvet glove treatment. You did not want to be there when the swat team rolled up in armored cars or the horses and dogs came out. Luckily, I always left on time. Many people were seriously injured and a few organizers are still being dragged through the courts after serious jail time.
Meanwhile, we hear nothing about what we call "Romeo's," the black shirt, jeans and balaclava wearing military men who pour out of unmarked vans in the middle of wrong-think protestors and start raining blows so the police could move in and break up the peaceful crowd. Plenty of those videos around.
Perhaps just as suspicious are the conspicuous piles of bricks along protest routes that are clearly not there for building works. That's also been documented here and I believe in Canada as well. So just some extra confirmation for what we all know to be true. It's not organic and the best way to stop it is call it out. Thank you for doing that.
Oh, PS: The Dutch police have also shot at and killed wrong-think protestors, so that's the extreme story that gets zero play from the media. Thank GOD for Twitter.
Insanity.
Heard the same about bricks being conspicuously piled near businesses in Huntington Beach, CA, before some sort of protest, and community members found them and cleared them out before some sort of leftist protest came to town that morning.
Wow, so there you go. A universal globalist ploy to make us hate each other instead of hating them.
Indeed. Same in the UK.
It is also important to note that the amount of money - American tax dollars- that has flowed into every imaginable NGO both here and around the world thanks to the Biden administration has been off the charts, and enabled, funded and fueled most, if not all of these government-policy-aligned protests, to speak nothing of the aiding and abetting of the mammoth influx of illegal immigrants. Between the US dollars and the plethora of foundations and foreign governments also in league with these groups there’s an ocean of cash available to keep them churning out their crap ad nauseum.
As for the polo-shirt-khaki’d Patriot Front actors, they were created to solve the Feds problem that there just was not enough actual “white supremacy” in the country that actually existed so they had to manufacture a group (probably a bunch of potential FBI recruits) to make it seem like there really is a “threat” and that they are everywhere!! Eek!! It must be kind of like a fraternity hazing for those recruits to have to participate in them. How humiliating.
Totally. The demand for racism exceeds the supply.
Precisely.
Cool comment
They must have been SO disappointed that the NY "hush money" verdict didn’t result in rioting. Those poor polo shirt khaki guys were probably stuffed into U-Hauls for hours just waiting…
Oh they don’t get involved in any real rioting - they run away!
A group from the Poor Boys or some such, confronted them once in order to demask them and they ran in every direction trying to hide their faces, and disappeared! Hilarious!!
The demand for "white supremacists" and "racism" by the media and the current administration greatly exceeds the supply so they had to create their own. Now it gives the corporate press endless scary images and talking points to show over and over. Thankfully, their audience is shrinking by the day.
Nailed it. Very well said
Does NGO stand for non-goyim organization?
I've been watching the Pro-Palestine protesters here w/a skeptical eye since the beginning of the latest troubles. More than half of any given group of them are still wearing COVID masks. Seems like Soros has funded many of the feeder organizations & some of the student leaders. It seems like almost everything we see in the public square is just an operation. Harks back to Mao's Cultural Revolution.
"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. "

They are rent-a-crowd.
And they are permitted their outrage, as well. I do think theirs is a more organic protest, LIHOP rather than MIHOP.
Some of these Patriot Fronters have been "arrested"?
Where are the mugshots and police blotter items with names and addresses (or at least hometowns)?
The police are required to publish the information of those whom they arrest. If the police don't, they become the Gestapo who can disappear people at will and that is truly nasty stuff. So it is bedrock American police practice to disclose arrest details.
So where are the names and mugshots?
when the arrests happened outside of coeur d’alene, the newspaper listed about 25 names. the article is easy to find the last time I looked. just type in Patriot Front arrest coeur d’alene or something similar. when this happened I did my best to google all the names. I think about 5 or 6 came back to “real” people, including the leader, Rosseau.
but the silence on this event was deafening. for the first time the press had the opportunity to doxx and cancel a group of admitted white supremacists and yet…crickets.
I’m still waiting on anyone to do a real deep dive on this issue.
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/jun/12/sheriffs-office-releases-names-of-31-patriot-front/
here it is. this list of names is longer than the one I read 2 years ago. again, only 4-5 seemed to have a visible internet presence.
I am convinced that the Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil groups are functionally the same. Kabuki theatre for the cameras with two important goals. The first is to propagate media opportunities to have the interviewer show support for the cause whilst criticising the approach, it’s called ‘nudging’. Watch how many media interviews include words like “I support what you’re doing, just not how you’re doing it”. Who cares what a media talking head supports?
The second is classic Hegelian dialectic; create a bogeyman so despised by the public that they demand that the state brings fourth legislation to suppress such protest. Of course “such protest” quickly evolves into protest that the state wishes to suppress tomorrow.
There was a Just Stop Oil nude bike ride through Oxford last summer. About ten or so fat old men and one old woman. I had to look the other way.
I do not much warm - in the context of the rich Western world - to 'activists' and 'protestors' full stop. 'In places like Iran and Afghanistan where protesting is brave and dangerous it's a different thing altogether and is a noble thing. In the spoilt-brat West though, it's high time we de-sanctified the idea. Here's my 'protest': "What do we want? ...campus brats to p*** off.... When do we want it?.... Now!"
Only 3 possibilities here:
1. Purely "organic" group of white supremacists (all appearing to be very physically fit white males between the ages of 18 and 25) who "got together" and organized a march, got the identical outfits, to accomplish what exactly?
2. False Flag operation run by the DNC.
3. False Flag operation run by the deep state.
option 1. is extremely unlikely.
option 2. is a credible possibility.
option 3. is highly likely.
Think about it. Every single participant looks like they just got out of boot camp (which is a far cry from the actual physical appearance of what that demographic should look like) . The masks prevent the internet media sleuths from connecting the dots and cross referencing the participants to all of the other events( they are probably all of the same recruits that show up to all of the "front's" public outings. And the kicker is, "what is actually accomplished" by these marches? (i would argue that it is only for a photo op, to give the DNC and deep state some boogie man to talk about)
Stinks to high heaven.
I call BS.
If I really tried, I could almost believe they are somehow more fit than the average group of Americans. But I can’t believe that there’s not *one* fat guy or scrawny guy in the whole crowd.
ps. They got the idea from the lincoln project's tiki torch scam in Charlottesville.
I may be putting my $$ on #2
VOTE 1, 2 or 3!!!
Aren’t 2 and 3 part of the same thing?
Practically, yes.
Not that the FBI's Patriot Front actors came from this particular organization, but for years Rush referred to the Rent-A-Mob crowd. And they DO exist.

“is patriot front just a nasty group cozy with nasty authorities or is it quite literally a false flag by a regime to desirous of stirring up the impression of the very danger they will cite when demanding extra-constitutional powers to save us therefrom? “
You know the answer. We all do.
there is only one who claims to be a community organizer.... and he has some friends like Bill Ayers and Anita Dunn and Peniteniary Face Brennen are just s few. What an evil Saul Alinsky worshiping bunch a criminals
The world is on fire and it is only going to get worse.
What I don't understand is how many seem to be in favor of globalists/corporatists in charge, putting people into crowded virtual 15-minute gulags, monitoring all activities...and eating bugs.
And STILL call it "democracy."
I have suspected for many years that the US will either erupt in a civil war or secession. I'm about ready to negotiate secession. I'd rather live through the growing pains of a new constitutional republic that die under a jack-booted communist.
I am glad I'm old.
Secession would involve population transfer on the scale of the partition of India. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just saying. The government brings in illegals and flies them to "red" states. Even in "blue" states like mine a third of the people are Republicans or conservatives.
I have to mention Texas. I don't know the place, but I was there recently. In San Antonio I saw tourists and Mexicans, and at least half of the signs were in Spanish. I did not feel like I was in America. Texas is on track to become a White-minority state, if it isn't already, and I don't see any effort to stop it.
If Norman Rockwell's America ever really existed, it's gone, and it's not coming back in any form.
OkBoomer, the SW border states have always had a mix of Anglo & Mexican (& in some cases Indian) - “Tri-culture in AZ & NM. It’s never been uncommon for there to be signage, customs, food & place names to be Spanish or in Spanish too. I was born & raised in AZ & have now lived in NM 34 years & it’s all normal to me (altho the massive illegal invasion of the last few years & NOT predominantly from Mexico is very new & deeply concerning). I guess if you’ve never been to a border state, it might seem foreign.
I live in a neighborhood where Spanish is the predominant language. Many of my Spanish speaking bilingual neighbors are 3rd and even 4th generation American Citizens. The number of American flags flown by my neighbors is pretty amazing. You might not recognize this neighborhood as being American, but I certainly do.
I was at the park with my granddaughter listening to the kids play, and they were speaking Spanish and English all mixed up together. It sounds chaotic, but I found it engaging.
If you know your history, you know that non-English speaking enclaves are very common in our history. My Great Grandmother spoke German and only German until she was 11 years old. Church and School were both taught in German. This was prior to WWI and all that changed thanks to W. Wilson et al who turned the US into a fear based authortarian place.
Her parents were homesteaders in north west Iowa. They were definitely part of the melting pot, which for them Hat einen Vorgeschmack auf das Mutterland.
Agree Angus. The Spanish & Mexicans & Indians were the inhabitants of & owned the West (until very recently when the US usurped) & have been multigenerational Americans now for a very long time. I love it. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t some longstanding disagreements w/ the Tri-cultures but overall everyone gets along.
Cindi, you didn't remind folks that NM is a minority majority state. And has always been so.
We lived in New Mexico for awhile a decade ago, and I read an article about how they had gotten linguists to work on making the really serious signs comprehensible, in English, to the indigenous, the Spanish (from many different countries), to tourists and to Anglos. The signs we found so poetic, "Gusty Winds May Exist," were phrased to make as many people as possible aware that gusts could knock your semi or SUV off the road.
Take a trip to Miami if you want a Latin American experience in the USA.
We plan to move to an upscale red-red county in a red-red state where plenty of water is available (33,000ac reservoir,) farms and ranches close by, and a vigilant police force and no-nonsense-in-my-jurisdiction judges.
A place where progs would NEVER consider living in or near.
Nice handle... excellent movie!
