While it might be refreshing to see Western MSM unequivocally condemn their antics - a task made easy by one of the Hitler-fanboys going on a murderous rampage - their vociferous denunciations only expose their rank hypocrisy in apologizing for the similarly neo-Nazi antics that have been on vivid display in Ukraine since 2014. Like everyone else in officialdom, the MSM only cries 'Nazi!' when it's politically expedient to do so.
It's oh-so-convenient that the fallout over the Charlottesville events serves to divide the right and generally undermine the popular conservative backlash against the predominantly liberal establishment and its ultra-liberal minions in academia and other fields, which push its own brands of extremist ideological nonsense like 'identity politics' - nonsense that is actively undermining the fabric of society, dividing the population along numerous lines, and opening the door for god-knows-what horrors to come.
Call it what you will - Alt-Right, New Right, True Republicanism, Conservatism, Traditional Values - people went with Trump last November because he was the most sensible option. That needs emphasis; Americans voted for Trump for reasons to do with common sense, not ideology. Trump, under other circumstances, could have sold out to the Democratic Party and used it to strike for power, and voters, under other circumstances, could have elected Sanders as their means of lobbing a Molotov cocktail at Washington.
Ideology and ideologues of both left and right varieties do not interest most people. It took Clinton labeling masses of Americans 'supporters of the Alt-Right', when she used that term in a campaign speech last August for most to learn about the existence of a thing called the 'Alt-Right'. Next to no one identified with it until that identity was picked out for them by the system. We know the FBI and other agencies have had COINTELPRO running through every political or semi-political organization in the US since forever. A possible recent addition: Jason Kessler, the organizer of the 'Unite the Right' rally, the guy you saw literally run out of town during his press conference Sunday, was, until November 2016, an Obama supporter and previously an activist within the far-left Occupy Wall Street movement.
The crazy-making part about it is the deliberate mixing of ideology (and the more extreme the better) with just causes. With far-left ideologues targeting cultural symbols that loom large in the beliefs of - for argument's sake - half the country's population, a surefire way to generate strong public backlash is to destroy statues representative of or associated with the losing side in a war in which the US literally tore itself apart (and from which it arguably never really healed). But the voice of that body of common sense - the predominantly conservative majority - can't be heard above the racket because they've been beaten to the cause by self-appointed defenders of conservative traditions and history: the torch-carrying, German WW2 helmet-wearing, far-right, low-intelligence nut-jobs.
Notice how emboldened the Left is since Charlottesville; city authorities everywhere are talking about accelerating their programs to destroy or remove Confederate symbols, minority special interest groups are calling for literally every single town and city in the US "to remove or change the name of anything named after Confederate sympathizers," and jumped-up SJWs aren't waiting around for their orders.
Under cover of darkness, Baltimore city council last night removed 4 Confederate statues. Actually, one of them was unrelated to the Civil War; it was a statue of a Supreme Court justice who the Left doesn't like because he made a 'racist' ruling... in 1857! Whatever 'sound reasons' anyone can give about the merits of destroying or removing monuments to historical figures who held some views that are now generally considered antisocial and inhuman, these are not being balanced with consideration for the positive contributions these figures made to their communities and country, contributions that form the bedrock of shared American cultural and historical experience (warts and all).
Do such extreme actions remind you of anything? The Taliban detonating 1,500-year old statues of Buddha in Afghanistan? ISIS destroying 'idolatrous' artifacts in Syria, perhaps? Poland rewriting its history to airbrush its Soviet days? Or Mao's 'cultural revolution' in China? How far is this going to go? Is this America's Year Zero?
The idea behind Year Zero is that all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and a new revolutionary culture must replace it, starting from scratch. All history of a nation or people before Year Zero is deemed largely irrelevant, as it will ideally be purged and replaced from the ground up.When Clinton and other top Swamp Monsters announced, immediately after he was elected, that they would launch a national campaign of resistance against Trump, they sure weren't kidding around. After months of violence carried out by the far-left at Conservative events - egged on every step of the way by the media - the president was mercilessly harangued after the Charlottesville brawl for his failure to toe the party line of condemning only the far-right.
This strategy of targeting cultural symbols then playing extremists against extremists to tar and silence the majority is textbook divide-and-conquer. It has been used repeatedly by the authorities to ensure that public anger is directed inwardly rather upwardly towards the corrupt warmongering psychopaths in Washington (both the elected and unelected varieties). At some level, I think they're driven to continue the process of cowing a popular president into submission because they seek to punish the American people for their 'disloyalty'.
The likely result of 'Unite the Right' is that it will divide the Right and significantly dampen the popular conservative backlash against the US Establishment... for now. As the corrupt elites continue using and abusing the people, compelled feelings of shame for holding 'Conservative' values and not wholeheartedly agreeing with Leftist 'utopian' ideologies may eventually provoke a backlash from the silent majority. God help anyone caught on the wrong side of the fence when that day comes.

Both sides prepared came for combat. Or some of them did. Probably there were others who counseled otherwise. All I'm saying is This Happens. Damned if I was there I would have been armed. You think I'm stupid in combat? If I saw any party lay into another untowards I would be moved to stop them whatever side. I've been in hundreds of demonstrations. Won't let that happen. Not on my watch. You need to direct and dampen those others who are not combat people. But be ever ready to whack the shit out the Other Guys should they make their way forward. What the hell did you think was going on here? Did you assume this was a tea party?
I remember the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). Mean mainstream Maoist. they would come to protestw with four foot 3/4 inch dowed with a paper pennant on the end. Whaddya think they did with that stick? The Canadian Communist Party (Moscow) would come to rallys with coshes - heavy sticks you could hide from site.
Neither side had any use for the cops who were the most brutal thugs of the day.
What's the far left equivalent to the neo nazi? On either side, there are extremes that drive to divide - most likely occupied by psychopathic type individuals. They play normal people on either side of the fence against each other. I'm sure at some level, this type of game has been made into a science. People divided along the lines of race, gender, religion etc and more importantly, this divisions maintained despite the seeming progress of technology and civilisation through the ages.
At the end of the day it comes down to a provocation that leads to lack of empathy that in turn leads to a reaction exploited by whatever force e.g. a far right march where proper hardened neonazis turn up and are allowed to spew hate... this is defended as some right which in turn provokes a reaction and chaos ensues.. in the milieu exploitation takes place by higher placed pathological individuals. On either side... sensibly minded left and right politically inclined individuals should take control of the situation based on their shared humanity and compassion. However that won't happen because of division and lack of trust. Trust simply doesn't exist and perhaps for good reason due to the existence of pathological individuals. So instead you have chaos.
In the end, normal people lose. The extreme on either side win. The extreme right won and so did the extreme left in this situation. Monuments will either be brought down inciting the right or they won't be brought down inciting the left. At the end of the day... It's not the monuments, it's what they represent and in turn what that means for the people who live amongst those monuments and look up to them as symbols of whatever (hate, hope, history or whatever).
Lesson to humanity - learn to tell apart the normals from the pathologicals... learn to deal with history in a way that acknowledges all those involved... learn to get to a point where you can get past that without having anyone 'normal' feel aggrieved. Of course that won't happen... the pathologicals will always step in and make sure they have their piece of the meat. So lesson is to not get overtaken by events as these events will happen and keep on happening - as night turns into day and vice versa.
They have successfully high-jacked the term and mixed us in with the Social Justice Warriors. Divide and conquer, always. They have done us a favour though, the whole Left/Right divide is another divide/conquer ploy anyway. They mixed conservative social values with capitalist economic values (the Right) vs. socialist economic values with progressive social values (the Left). While I remain a Marxist (for the 99% against the 1%), I identify with many of the 'right-wing' social values (family, country, marriage, social responsibility). I think if you asked most people, they would agree. This is the true division, the People vs. the Rich who have stolen our wealth. There is only one war, the class war, and all other struggles are diversionary tactics to keep us from uniting.
I imagine a lot of BLM are cut from similar cloth.
"There is only one war, the class war, and all other struggles are diversionary tactics to keep us from uniting."
I used to think a bit like that in my late teens/early twenties until I realised it was just a diversionary tactic to keep me from uniting.
Later on at work, I "lost" 9 men and 1 woman for a lousy paycheck dude within 10 years, people I were talking to and were breathing the same air man who left families behind dude...Consider yourself the luckiest person in the world man. 10 people died in lousy offices.
The joke is real btw : I have a couple of 2.something Gigahertz cpu's , it's nothing as processing power...So I asked my late uncle, he was a good man btw how high mil. telecom can go...When the answer came back the phone dropped from my hand : 98 Ghz dude, you said anything about intel's I7 ? They are just screwing with our minds man, the best computer is the one you have inside your head...Ned man, love , peace and harmony...I especially like those Wi-Fi systems, they are so secure (lol)...Good luck dude, because they are fucking the entire planet...
What if like with every machine there were flaws in our design , in our DNA, from the very beginning , either by accident or on purpose ? Too complicated a question maybe ? Glad to see you back anyway...
Not entirely sure what school of thought you hail from but if you are in the alternative/esoteric school then you'll know humanity has been messed with by higher density beings - who yes, mess with our dna and structures on purpose to
A) Keep us locked in our present state.
B) Feed off us.
If you are from the mainstream school then, our dna is not perfect (in terms of giving you the level of comfort you want, more so to just ensure your survival to the point of reproduction) and is subject to evolution so in time it'll change to adapt to the changing external environment (otherwise the species will die off!).
If from the mainstream religions, just blame the devil and perhaps not going to church enough.
Take your pick kind sir.
DNA is just code and mutations caused bits of that code to be lost ... it doesn't mater how may times that corrupted code is replicated, the lost part is never going to re-appear
Over time we would obviously see different sets of corrupted DNA ...e.g. 6% psychopaths
Not a flaw in the design but a by-product of the replication process
the situation was hopeless for those 50,000 Americans that died last year and for many millions around the world that will die in the years to come so OTHERS CAN LIVE...THAT'S HOW IT GOES, PERIOD.
To understand what is going on about anything on any given time, well, you need data, perception
and analytical skills...When I understood that my mother was gonna die, I was one with the ground for 4 months...The thing is, rather the reason I got up is I've been one with the ground before and the first time was in College : Same diagnosis : Exhaustion...So, I got up again...Do you know how many times in my life I thought the situation was hopeless...and then it wasn't...It's what I said above : Our feelings...The situation dude is hopeless , if you 've been hit
by a 50 caliber bullet or if you are a civilian above 90 and you are in the hospital...Then, it's hopeless...
P.S. : Martina, please, not Pink Floyd (lol)...too heavy...Ibiza will do...
P.S. 2 : Sorry , if I'm being funny on serious matters but a little humor some times is the best antidote...I've seen too many dramas in my life and been through more myself, so...
The history of humanity is horrible. You could build a pyramid of human misery all the way to Mars, and still have enough left over for another to the moon. Well, you could put Nasa out of business. Some want to believe in fairy tales to cover the misery and hopelessness, that billions live and die in utter despair and hopelessness. Nothings changed, same old shit. Just "better" entertainment to cover this up i guess. Take the issue that Niall has written about in this article. What good will come of it, for the average person? I can and will answer it here; NONE . All these people out there don't even know who the real enemy of humanity is. In the US alone, not taking into account the magnitude of human misery elsewhere, lets just focus on the greatest democracy on earth. Millions are losing there homes, jobs, communities, lives, and can't even afford to feed their families. While the psychopaths at the top are getting richer. The police state is encroaching further every day, to protect these psychopaths, and eventually, the only jobs available to the American people will be authoritarian enforcers, at home or abroad, to further enrich the psychopathic elites. UNTIL they are replaced by robots, that is. This carnage may be used to remove a president that the people voted for, who cannot even implement his policies because the psychopaths don't agree with his, or the majority of the American peoples wishes, or policies. The MSM just lies, to sell death and destruction abroad. I could go on, and on, but feel i have made my point... Sorry, but that seems rather hopeless to me.
I would have said no. That's what life is all about : Balance. It's never black or white. I got your point though
"Black people who were never slaves are fighting white people who were never Nazis over a confederate statue erected by Democrats because Democrats can't stand their own history anymore--yet somehow it's Trump's fault."
โI wish the left was this outraged when Old Glory was trampled and burned. Just a piece of cloth and freedom of speech right??? Hypocrites. All of them!โ
โWhy did the Democrats, Alt looney Left, Antifa, BLM, and the fake news media not remove the confederate statues/monuments during the failed Presidency of Obama, and only started erasing American History now that Trump is President? They remind me of what the Isis Terrorists did to Iraq cities, destroying ancient monuments. It is crystal clear that they just want to create trouble for the next 8 years of Trumps Presidency and do not want to make America great again.โ
โDemocrats are like amateur magicians. Their first trick was Russia, Russia, Russia. Failed. 2nd trick is play the race card. Failing. Hopefully they are successful with their 3rd, and disappear.โ
Why Was This 'Crowd Hire' Company Recruiting $25 An Hour 'Political Activists' In Charlotte Last Week?

Remember, we live in a time when 'hoaxism' is already well-established, where 'all the world's a stage', and absolutely nothing is as it seems. This is often true, in some contexts, but other times, a cigar is just a cigar. Postmodernism has infected everything, so boundless subjectivity is to be expected from both 'the left' and 'the right'.
I don't think the drone footage is the same time frame as the footage where you see the fire engine ...
Why can you only see the blue car and no far engine from the drone footage and then see a totally difference screen when the cameras switches to the fire engine view?
Want the two people in hi-vis jackets carrying the stretcher from the fire engine ... the director says "action" and then just wander slowly past the cars, past the "injured" and go up the road where the car came from ... they deal with that orange blobby thing on the right hand side, I've no idea what that is
hit body = hit a body / hit bodies
far engine = fire engine
totally difference screen = totally different scene
want the two people = Watch the two people
then just wander = then they just wander
writers. If the type writer broke down , OR WORSE, you didn't want third parties to SEE CLASSIFIED INFO YOU HAD TO DO THE WORK YOURSELF. It's a long story and I can tell you about it some day, the story of typing I mean but with the internet we ended up down to one rule : Write as you speak and leave the typos to the typists.
P.S. Give me any document and I'll find , 1,000 mistakes on it.
P.S.2 I got into a fight with my boss about that issue one day and I'm not kidding you.
I'm a coder, so I've been typing most of my life ..."Brewery" is the hardest word I learnt to type
Glad I never had to use the old manual typewriters though
Could you make out what that orange blobby stuff was ... it all so low res ... the whole vid just smells of fakery and with the resolution level, the drone shots (people scattering) could just be affects
I also had a good look at things away from the focal point - notice a lot in white tops, they seem to be co-ordinators (bit like all the Olympic helpers we had in 2012). There's two of them standing in front of the red crashed car, one looks around and up in the air, looking for the drone?
Maybe someone could extract images from the window reflections and allow us to see what the drone coverage does not cover
(The two large reflecting window on the building front / right of the crashed vehicle)
