Arson has always been a common terror tactic for centuries. Arson was in the anarchist's playbook in the 60's. It was also a tactic recommended by Al Qaeda as early as 2002. A few arrests have been made for recent arsons in WA and CA. The FBI will be all over them in view of the date, to determine if these are part of an organized effort or just one off loonies. We shall see.

A thought occurred to me this morning about the people who are ANTIFA and BLM. Most of them were not born yet, or were still shitting in their diapers when 9/11 happened. They have never experienced the sense of loss, anger, and then terrible resolve of America in times of crisis.

A child born on 9/11 running around setting fires and throwing rocks at the police at the age of 19. The day after 9/11, 19-year olds were standing in line outside recruiting offices, or were already gearing up for Operation Infinite Justice.

I firmly believe that we have failed to properly educate those children on what it means to be American.

So you’re saying there is a selective role for arson?

And parents as educators have been absent for many of this generation. We are the “traditional” family and spend a lot of time teaching and talking with our kids. Provides balance.

This morning my 19 year old daughter walks in and laughs at one of the Trump kids saying “google conspiracy hiding Mob results” because it brings up an anime. Stop and show her exactly what google is doing to hide riot, mob, etc. results and talk about how these algorithms are written (I used to write a lot of code including these types of algorithms).

She walked away with eyes a bit more wide open and not so quick to criticize...but her generation is constantly bombarded with “Trump is bad”...interestingly not much beyond that. Libs are empty suits and the leadership is masking the true agenda and happy to let the anarchists lead the way with Tech doing the influencing.

We have a long road ahead

What's this? airsoft guy was able to hold his nose long enough to post in one of my threads? Twice, even. Will wonders never cease?

Ok, now I'm pissed...big time. This happened at UCF, a school I have two degrees from and that I've donated to over the years. I've already penned a letter to the chancellor and the chief of campus police to let them know how disgusted I am with their behavior, and that they will never receive another penny from me. I also talked with the person who qualifies resumes for open positions here (another UCF grad who's disgusted by this behavior) and she told me quietly she won't be taking any applications from UCF degree applicants any more. This shit is beyond ridiculous at this point!

I find it interesting that simply because an individual believes they have a morally superior position, they can do whatever they want.

I happened to watch a facebook collage of Karen videos at lunch. Everyone of them violated at least one law because they thought they were right and tried to force their view on another.

When did that concept take hold?

How is it that every third joker on the street has a bullhorn these days. Maybe I lived in a relatively sheltered world, but I used to almost never see someone with a bullhorn.

Are they handing them out at Walmart now or something?

Oh that's very old. See: Manifest Destiny, Dehumanization, most every atrocity ever commited by humans, most every Religion, etc.

AG Barr:

Wrapping up a three-day tour in Chicago, Phoenix and Cleveland Friday, Attorney General Bill Barr took on the media

"They're basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They're a collection of liars and they know exactly what they're doing. A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people. It wasn't until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid," Barr said on the flight back to Washington Friday afternoon.

"The press has dropped, in my view - and I'm talking about the national mainstream media - has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they're reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. They're very mendacious about it," he continued. "It's very destructive to our Republic; it's very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It's contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship."

"It's funny that you had record numbers of police being injured during 'peaceful' protests," he said. "You know usually in protests, you have large numbers of injured rioters and a modest number of injured law enforcement. I'm talking about back in the 90s and 60s, 60s to the 90s, nowadays very few rioters get injured, very few and hundreds, even thousands of officers have been injured."

"I think there are a handful of reporters in the mainstream media that still have journalistic integrity, and there are some, but the overwhelming majority don't have it anymore," Barr said. "The people who do cover the Department do understand some of the issues. But, on the other hand, some of them have essentially adopted the same methods and ploys as what I refer to more generally as the national media and that is they're not because, probably somewhat because, of their own orientation and but also what their editors say, they're not really interested so much in what really happened but in pursuing a preformed narrative that suits some kind of ideological agenda. That's what it's all become."

According to Barr, the organizing behind the rioting in cities across the country is under investigation and federal law enforcement agencies are working to identify the individuals behind the chaos.

"People are pouring through all of the video trying to identify people to hold people accountable," Barr said, adding that the funding of the riots is also under investigation. "I think Antifa and Antifa like groups are at the center of it."

Please, AG Barr, unleash hell on them!

He certainly has an eye for the obvious. I hope he actually DOES SOMETHING.

BLM founder gushes over known anti-Semite Linda

If by antifa like he means black lies matter then yes. That terrorist has shaken down numerous organizations for money that has to equal millions. I'd like to see where that money has gone on how it's been spent.

Even Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion. Time to start locking these fuckers up in the SHU program, 23 hour lockdown, basketball in Pelican bay.

Knew Sarsour couldn't stay silent for too long. Got a book coming out, of course she does!

Connection with Muslim groups...get real. While both may hate America, and all of its cultural elements, the antifa-types know collaborating with a religious group, that at its core is anti ethical to what they value, is a deal with the devil. antifa/black bloc and all the other anarcho groups will continue to get their inspiration from Berlin and London where there's an intrenched infrastructure and support.

I respectfully disagree, they both hate America....and it's not the first time groups within the greater REVCOM sphere co-operated even though they were not idealistically matched

Wealthy BLM protester’s notes reveal plan to occupy luxury NYC apartments

https://nypost.com/2020/09/11/...upy-luxury-nyc-pads/

They can start with her place!

The wealthy young woman accused of rioting in Lower Manhattan cooked up plans to take over luxury apartments abandoned by “white flight” — and defend them by tossing bricks off rooftops, The Post has learned.

Clara Kraebber, whose parents own a $1.8 million co-op with river views on the Upper East Side, detailed her desire to build a “BLM [Black Lives matter] focused” network for “wealth re-distribution” in notes seized following her arrest last week, law enforcement sources said.

But in an ironic twist, The Post last week found Kraebber at her family’s second home: a 4-bedroom, 2-1/2 bathroom farmhouse that dates to 1730 and sits on nearly seven acres in rural Litchfield County, Conn.

At the time, she declined to discuss her alleged role in a window-smashing spree during a Black Lives Matter protest that caused an estimated $100,000 in damage to at least five banks, two Starbucks coffee shops and a Duane Reade pharmacy.

Other tactics detailed in Kraebber’s notes include wearing “casual attire” before changing into black at the scene of a demonstration and monitoring police radio frequencies, sources said.

The dozens of hand-written pages also outline a “revolutionary strategy” that cites the murderous Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky as inspiration, law-enforcement sources said.

“These are domestic terrorists looking to turn New York City into another Portland and Seattle,” said one source familiar with the writings.

“This is a planned conspiracy and the FBI should be investigating.”

Sources said cops found the notes following the Sept. 4 arrest of Kraebber, 20, whose since-deleted Facebook page identified her as a Rice University history major.

She’s among eight people charged with unleashing mayhem as demonstrators marching on Lafayette Street chanted, “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!”

The protest was sponsored by the New Afrikan Black Panther Party and the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement, but Kraebber and most of the others busted with her are white and come from privileged backgrounds.

Kraebber, the daughter of child psychiatrist and an architect, has a history as an anti-cop demonstrator that dates to at least 2014, when she joined a Manhattan rally to protest the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.

“We don’t have much political power right now, being youths, but this is something we can do,” she told the New York Times at the time.

In her notes, Kraebber pointed to the “HUGE number of empty units” in “white flight apts, new luxury buildings” that and include the instruction to “study tactics of clearing buildings.”

There are repeated references to “scouts” to find vacant apartments and locksmiths to help break in, as well as the need to “prep for SWAT-style eviction efforts” through the use of movable “barricades” and “bricks on roofs as weapons,” sources said.

A page titled “Revolutionary Strategy” and dated Aug. 21 includes notes that say “Stalin — defend USSR at all costs” and “Trotsky — United front of all working class but don’t let capitalists in,” sources said.

There are repeated references to the Spanish Civil War, including an assertion that the failure of the Spanish revolution of 1936 was a “failure of leadership,” sources said.

“Some think actual revolution will be lead by more deliberate leadership,” Kraebber wrote.

Kraebber also faulted the protests over the police killing of George Floyd, writing, “Minneapolis — lots of spontaneous radical energy but no leadership.”

Her notes contain multiple mentions of “Abolition Park” — or “AP” — which refer to the anti-cop encampment that activists set up outside City Hall during the recent battle to defund the NYPD, which resulted in a total $1.5 billion in cuts to its operating and capital budgets.

“All cops are bad because they work for a system that thrives off the oppression of marginalized communities. Asking ‘what about the ‘good’ cops?’ is like asking what about the good slave masters,” according to the Abolition Park website.

Although Kraebber supported then-US Rep Beto O’Rourke’s 2018 bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and donated $121 to the Rice Young Democrats PAC, her notes indicate that she’s abandoned mainstream liberal politics.

“Anyone who f–ks with Democrats can’t be leadership,” she wrote.

The discovery of Kraebber’s notes led the NYPD to warn cops in a Wednesday email that they could face future incidents during which anarchists blend in with peaceful protesters to incite violence before changing into all-black clothing, sources said.

The “Officer Safety Alert” also said that anarchists could listen in on police communications and stash rocks on rooftops to hurl at cops.

In addition, the NYPD said that the homes of police brass could be targeted, as could patrons of Upper West Side restaurants — as happened Saturday in Pittsburgh, where diners were subjected to profane insults and one demonstrator even swiped a drink off an outdoor table.

Following her arrest on charges of felony rioting and misdemeanor possession of graffiti instruments, Kraebber was released with a summons to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court on Dec. 3.

Kraebber’s case hasn’t been entered into online court records and it’s unclear if she’s hired a defense lawyer.

Calls to both of her homes weren’t answered and emails sent to her parents weren’t returned Friday.

A problem I have with that Kaitlin Bennett video above is her blaming the police at the end. I understand her frustration but I suspect the police are twice as frustrated that their hands are tied.
