The left WILL NOT let Ferguson go.
”You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” — Rahm Emanuel, current Chicago mayor, former Clinton and Obama senior adviser.
The crowd that claims to be the champions of peace sure does get jonesed over violence in the streets (or the threat thereof). Leftists and their allies in the drive-by media have seized on a local crime story in suburban St. Louis and whipped up a violent frenzy. The lies and inflammatory rhetoric have ruined a young police officer’s life and literally destroyed a good chunk of the economy in Ferguson, Missouri.
The leftists and the media claim this is all about righting some alleged major injustice in this small Missouri town. Yet, we’ve had riots spring up across the country. Some of these so-called Ferguson protesters across the country spent more time screaming about old lefty standards like the minimum wage and increased race and gender quotas than the well-being of people in that Missouri town.
These people are taking the advice that Rahm — and Saul Alinsky — trumpeted. They are taking advantage of an opportunity – the circus in Ferguson – to promote their radical agenda and perpetrate their extreme tactics.
According to the left — and their allies in Hollywood and in the drive-by media — conservatives are the pro-violence crowd. Yet, you don’t get riots in Pinehurst, Taylorsville, Blowing Rock, or Cary. Most folks recognize that we have a tool in place for dealing with situations we don’t like — the ballot box. Our country has an amazing record of peaceful transfer of political power. There aren’t many other nations across the globe that can come close to matching our streak.
This week, we had this Martian on the Wake County school board suggesting that Ferguson’s violence should be a good lesson for Wake County Schools. (*We want to spend more money and increase authoritarian control. If you taxpayers dare to object, we might — hint, hint — unleash the rioters. Just’ sayin’… * )
The media has played along with the game plan. They had a countdown to the grand jury announcement. You had drive-by talking heads asking why Michael Brown did not have representation in the grand jury room. I heard one dingbat drive-by talking head ask a cop on a show today: “Can’t you just disable people, instead of killing them?”
The leftist web site Slate posted a piece entitled: “Why the Fires in Ferguson Won’t End Soon: The tensions have been building for a long time, and even justice for Michael Brown won’t change that.” *So – it’s NOT about justice for “the gentle giant”? But — but — but …*
The leftist New Yorker magazine also tips the left’s hand on the Ferguson mess:
In the eight days since Michael Brown, an eighteen-year-old, was killed by a police officer named Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, what began as an impromptu vigil evolved into a sustained protest; it is now beginning to look like a movement. The local QuikTrip, a gas station and convenience store that was looted and burned on the second night of the protests, has now been repurposed as the epicenter for gatherings and the exchange of information. The front of the lot bears an improvised graffiti sign identifying the area as the “QT People’s Park.” With the exception of a few stretches, such as Thursday afternoon, when it was veiled in clouds of tear gas, protesters have been a constant presence in the lot. On Sunday afternoon the area was populated by members of local churches, black fraternity and sorority groups, Amnesty International, the Outcast Motorcycle Club, and twenty or so white supporters from the surrounding area. On the north side of the station, a group of volunteers with a mobile grill served free hot dogs and water, and a man stood on a crate, handing out bright yellow T-shirts with the logo of the National Action Network, the group led by Al Sharpton.[…]
People’s Park. A group led by MSNBC talk show host (and tax cheat) and loud-mouthed lunatic Al Sharpton. Amnesty International. A group described as “the oldest all-black outlaw motorcycle club […] forged from the social revolution of the Sixties.” That’s an all-star gathering of the radical left. Not exactly a grassroots protest.
This is par for the course for the radical left. Internationally, this is how they roll. They talk peace and justice, but wield the tool of violence — or the threat of — to,um, “persuade” the masses to back off and go along. The end result of their social engineering is decay of the economy and quality of life in the jurisdiction under their stranglehold. They can’t stay in power based on their, um, accomplishments. So, efforts are launched to keep the masses dependent and angry (at someone else).
Average folks in the center and the right try to change things within the law — via the ballot box. If leftists don’t get their way, they shove their demands down everyone else’s throats — via judicial or bureaucratic tyranny or violence or the threat thereof.
This isn’t an equivalent to the 2009-2010 Tea Party movement. This is the radical left poking and prodding and flexing its muscle. Ferguson will be used as a vehicle for heightened government control of things in that jurisdiction. More money being spent. More bureaucratic control. Mission accomplished.
Make no mistake about it. This has been a dry run for what the left would like to do nationwide. Will we be intimidated and allow these people to keep doing this?
Why did the police allow the DA to make the announcement in the evening when a made for TV firey riot would be certain?
Why did the state’s candy ass liberal Democrat governor not have the town wall to wall with National Guardsmen with fixed bayonets and full ammo clips? You have to face down these violent thugs with force. It is the only thing they understand.
I would like to see an acting in concert law that would allow any member of any mob to be charged with all acts of the mob, whether they themselves participated in the act or not. Grab every mob member possible and charge them with multiple counts of arson. You simply have to get tough or it just encourages more anarchy.
Some of these small businesses that were burned out were black. This was more general hooliganism than racial.
Because he’s a candy ass liberal Democrat governor.
Sadly, the Republicans let every crisis go to waste. The GOP refuses to stand for anything.
This is a communist and Muslim endeavor!
Some of the organizations operating in Ferguson and fomenting “unrest”:
1) CAIR – Council on American Islamic Relations, St. Louis
2) Revolution Club of Chicago (Communist group),
3) The New Black Panthers,
4) The Palestine Contingent,
5) Revolutionary Socialists,
6) FIST (Communist youth organization whose acronym stands for Fight Imperialism Stand Together),
7) Peoples Power Assemblies (Communist group),
8) The Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP),
9) Organization for Black Struggle,
10) U.S. Palestinian Community Network,
11) Muslims for Ferguson,
12) US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation,
13) St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee,
14) Palestinian BDS National Committee,
15) National Students for Justice in Palestine,
16) Palestinian Youth Movement,
17) American Muslims for Palestine,
18) African Americans for Justice in the Middle East and North Africa,
19) Occupy Wall Street and other anarchist groups.
this is true but it’s worse. The communists are a front for the bankers.
1963 Communist Goals
The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.
1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of “moral strength”.
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites.
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7) Grant recognition of Red China and admission of Red China to the U.N.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11) Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow.)
Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13) Do away with loyalty oaths.
14) Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the U.S.
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers.
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings ? substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms”.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy”.
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch”.
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state”.
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man”.
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the grounds that it was only a minor part of “the big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture ? education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a “united force” to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems.
“
`Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems.
`Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
Throughout the Soviet period, they had a term they constantly used for their ”fellow travelers” – those who supported their ideas but were not technically members of the party. That term was ”progressive”. I find it telling that the Amerian left of today chooses this very term to describe themselves.
Ferguson morphed into the rebrand of Occupy
