For three months, cops and Feds have basically given organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa carte blanche on the streets of a number of major cities. This tactic has been helped along by local officials who are both terrified of the people roaming their streets and even more terrified of giving any appearance of cooperating with Trump and his cadres.
To borrow from The Clash lexicon, this may look to a lot of people like an endless White Riot (the overwhelming majority of the rioters are white as the driven snow), but I think it may turn out that BLM/Antifa have simply been Given Enough Rope.
I realize that a lot of people on the Left think they're on the right side of History and all that, and who knows, maybe they are. Trouble is, I'm starting to get the feeling that our immediate future is going to look a lot more like those two videos up top than whatever utopian fantasies rioters may have been nursing.
I've always suspected everything we've seen since late May was all a controlled burn-off. Meaning military planners have long been preparing for a so-called "GenZ rebellion," so however these riots actually started and whomever actually planned them, Homeland Security has been using the riots to draw all the troublemakers and subversives out of hiding. Which they've done shockingly well.
The kid gloves policing approach has given the would-be insurrectionists enough of a sense of confidence to reveal their identities and true agendas and put them on the Internet for handy future reference by magistrates and tribunals to come. But no matter how fancy Antifa's tactics get in cities where they face no meaningful resistance, they're eventually going to run smack into the brick wall of the State.
And my guess is that the State wants the Antifa Mystery Machine to be going as quickly as possible so it will sustain maximum impact when it does meet that immovable object.
My suspicion is that this is all part of the "national emergency" scenario I've been sensing is bearing down on us. See, you can't really call a national emergency without a credible threat, so it may well be that this push-me/pull-you tactic might ramp up a bit more before the big hammer comes down. So get ready.
Believe me, this is not something I want or would ever welcome. I've had enough dealings with the police in my lifetime to understand that cops these days hold a quite-Manichean outlook on the world; you're either a cop or you're a troublemaker. Wolves and sheep. It doesn't matter if you're a taxpayer or homeowner if the cop you run into is having a bad enough day.
And it doesn't take a psychic to predict how guys with guns and 'roid-rage will act when they've got a chip on their shoulder about how stuck-up-rich-kid-chickenshits like the mayors in Portland and Minneapolis and the governors in Washington and Wisconsin have been scapegoating them.
I really don't believe any of these politicos would ever get the Mussolini-lamppost treatment, but let's just say I wouldn't fall out of my chair in shock if one did.
The false sense of confidence that Antifa et al have been given by the national stand-down has blinded them to their weaknesses, which are legion.
If one pudgy 17 year-old kid can take out three of Antifa's top street-fighters, how well do you think they'll fare squaring off with psychotic killing machines from some unknown military agency or mercenary outfit? I also wouldn't be at all surprised if these cells are riddled with agents -- I'd be shocked if they weren't-- ready to send what passes for Antifa leadership a quick love-letter once the order comes down.
A lot of natural predators-- particularly foxes and wolves-- are very good at luring their prey, given them a false sense of security just long enough to make the kill.
Similarly, the people Antifa et al will ultimately come up against train all night-and-day/all-month/all-year for these kinds of scenarios. No matter how tough these rubes think they are, they're eventually going to come up against the people who've gone up against Mujahideen and ISIS; I doubt they'll be too worried about a bunch of black-clad fantasists with gender-dysphoria and/or minor-attraction issues.
This is the problem with political violence. History has shown quite conclusively that your LARPers and bedroom heroes can start all the fights and light all the fires they please, but once you resort to violence you will eventually find yourself up against people who take their violence very, very seriously.
I have no idea what the Democratic Establishment (or even some Republicans) thought they were doing egging all this violence and mayhem on for the past three months, but I'd bet a few of those same Antifa/BLM cheerleaders are state-security wolves in liberal sheep's clothing, preparing the flock for the supper table.
CITIES OF THE DEAD
There's a larger problem at work: and that's the sudden and rather shocking collapse of all the major city-states that are the jewels of the Democratic Party crown.
A lot of wags will say that this was all inevitable and the result of the economic models they were following. I'd bet you could go back a few months and find some of those same people saying the exact opposite.
But Gordon White's been saying so for years, so tip your hat to him, people. He's smarter than all of us put together.
And as it stands, the Blue city-states that were flirting with secession talk are all begging for bail-outs from the same Federal government they were wagging their dicks at just a short time ago. So don't go betting on them, is all I'm saying.
Worse, the city-states are not only grappling with the financial millstone of entitlement obligations but the consequences of all those well-meaning liberal policies attracting a lot of people who want a cut of the action.
Not only that, but they're sinking beneath the sharp explosion in street crime and other social ills that everyone thought were quashed already. I'm starting to think this has always been the fate of cities throughout history. Success ultimately breeds collapse. More importantly -- by my estimation, at least -- is that human filing cabinets aren't sustainable in the long run.
And for Midwest-Nice cities like Minneapolis? they might as well slather themselves in chum and jump into a shark tank, seeing the death-traps they've lead themselves into. It's all well and good to say all the right things that get you backpats at wine parties and likes on Twitter, and it's another thing to deal with the brutality that lurks beneath the thin veneer of Civilization.
Sadly, a lot of these fine people are learning this the hard way.
HELL IS FOR CHILDREN
The DNC and MSM have another major problem with their unconditional support and patronage of Antifa, and that's the unsettlingly-disproportionate number of convicted child molesters in its ranks. I can't help but wonder if this might be a factor in the Hivemind going into full attack-mode on the Q people, seeing how timing is everything.
I don't pay an awful lot of attention to Q myself -- the material I've seen seems curiously inert and almost studiously bland and inoffensive -- but the mainstream media would have you believe it's Pizzagate multiplied by Alex Jones plus Hitler. What isn't these days, right?
It should also be noted that a lot of people driving the anti-Q crusade can be linked to the Epstein/NXIVM nexus, so I don't really put a lot of stock in all that either.
Nor do I usually put a lot of the whole "unsealed indictment/mass arrest" narrative, but we did see this rather shocking story emerge hot on the heels of the RNC, as well as some other trafficking busts. I know a lot of nice liberal folks who wouldn't even believe this kind of thing was possible, but tough titties, it is.
(Who would want to believe this shit was real, right? Fucking depressing).
I can't help but wonder if this thing is all down to Ghislaine singing like a canary (no pun intended) but the rather muted response to it from the mainstream media does make me wonder if this was some kind of message being sent.
It's so hard to say anymore, seeing how many ops seem to be running all at once these days. Trying to war-game it all just makes you come off like a douche.
LEAVING THIS BABYLON
So, being just some idiot with a blog I can't tell you with any degree of certainty what's really going on, only that something sure as hell is. None of what we're seeing feels organic or inevitable, and I'm starting to wonder who's really pulling the levers behind the curtain. Maybe I don't want to know.
There are a lot of rich and powerful people in these suddenly-collapsing Blue cities, but I don't think there are lot of actual killers sitting in the corner offices. The all-volunteer military has created a situation in which the ruling class has almost zero experience with the business of organized killing and believe me, that makes a very, very big difference when the knives come out.
I've been watching a lot of videos about military training in different branches of the service and different countries, and it's like looking at an alien planet. I don't care how much Call of Duty or even college football some of these corner-office types may have played, they simply have no idea how that world really works. It's like a gym bunny thinking he can take on a MMA fighter. It's like, dude; no.
The Blue Boys might all have the highest IQs and fattest wallets and believe all that entitles them to bankroll a bunch of mentally-sick misfits to try to overthrow the Trump Administration, but that will ultimately bring them face-to-face with people whose job it is to, um, discourage that kind of thing, whether they give two shits about Trump or not. Which most of them probably don't.
It's always a sucker's game to try to figure out the War in Heaven, given how much bullshit is flying around. But if all these Blue cities fancied themselves the vanguard of a new breakaway republic, maybe even with the help of the CCP, you needn't look very far to see how that's working out. (Hint: absolutely fucking disastrously).
It's an old, old story, going back to the Cradle of Civilization. The local princelings get drunk with power and think they can make a big play against the Old Man and break off on their own. Sometimes that's worked, but usually it doesn't.
And seeing how today's princelings are predominantly pampered poodles with zero experience in realpolitik, I have a strong feeling it's not going to go very well for them at all, no matter how invincible they might have felt just a few short weeks ago. Trump or no, some parties may be looking to make some examples of them.
Or rather, will be.
