    Default Baltimore

    So what's going on here?
    Are these riots planned by the authorities?
    And was it part of a plan to first execute a criminal without due process of a court case, and then using mind control on a bunch of kids to direct them like a swarm of wasps to destroy their community?
    Is this the only way to get a nation to wake up?
    I don't have the answers, but perhaps some of the other members here can come up with something.

    Oh, and here is another important factor....
    Parents taking charge of their kids.....

    My concern is that the riots in Baltimore will not wake people up. The riots will simply instil fear and hatred in a large segment of the population. It will also leave many people in a greater poverty. This is part of TPTB plan to reduce populations and to enslave the survivors via poverty. It is a very sad situation that fortunately for us will NOT spread across America. TPTB have the power to create much destruction and will continue to use that power, but they will ultimately lose.

    Yes, these deaths of AfroAmericans is done deliberately to drive through Marshall Law. Thats why the Department of Homeland Security exists, for no other reason.
    As with the LA riots, the authorities stepped back and allowed the riot to quell itself, knowing there would be destruction (revenue) at the end of it. The same happened here, with petty and snarky political (pretend) cross party squabbles filling MSM and little attention being directed at the communities involved.

    The American Negro must be the most oppressed first world community on record. Living a life of racial intolerance virtually everywhere in the American system. All driven by Washington and the United Nations. The whole political process is corrupt. Hilary Clinton is in the running for the White House and yet has not given any press interviews yet, will she stand up and make comment on this event in Baltimore, I don't think so. If she does she will either sit on the fence or send in the troops knowing her.

    As for the woman scolding her son in Baltimore, that's normal. Any mother would do that if they could. Sad thing is, it will drive the son away eventually, as soon as he can fend for himself, he will leave. Not because he wants to cause trouble, he will want to make a difference, he will want change, just like every other sympathiser of the American Negro slaughter.

    The USA is no longer a country, it's a Corporation. The US military is not American, they are Mercenaries for hire, nine eleven told us that.

    "Parents taking charge of their kids" - really - uhuh. Are you referring to the black mothers stopping black boys venting their anger? Or are you talking white mothers stopping white boys in uniform beasting others.

    Washington is not owned by Americans. It is under the control of a secular group of bankers wordwide. America will soon be a memory.

    Whatever and whoever was the cause of this particular incident (whether mind-control or honest accident), it is giving a tyrannical government and their cronies in the form of a Police State ample reason to enforce their will onto the population. It is a the perfect excuse for the Police State to jump in, save the situation, and claim that humanity will be in chaos and ruin without authoritarian rule. Then they will continue to propagate the false lie that Anarchy=chaos, when Anarchy actually means freedom.

    I'm against beating children on principle.
    They understand firm language from early on,
    and beating a child around the ears, and in public,
    and on camera, and have it go viral... This has to be the most humiliating thing in this kids life.

    And yet... There is that other form of control, much worse in my view...far more insidious...
    And that is the MK, or mind control agenda behind these events.
    Where no parents are around to tell their youngsters that thoughts which arise inside one's heads are not necessarily one's own. And to act on them will have consequences which serve no one except the puppet masters.

    Our job as Avalonians is to bring this to the attention of the public at large, and have people become freed from all manipulations...and that includes parents, teachers, state, movie and music industry, sports organizers, and even their own peers.

    Designed? Perhaps… But what else do you do when nothing else works?

    You’re witnessing people who are demonstrating their rising feelings towards injustices and inequality. I don’t necessarily agree with the violence, but if it’s constantly being used on you…you too might be forced to respond accordingly, especially when all other opportunities for a solution have been exhausted. If the system is constantly and blatantly failing you, it is your obligation and responsibility to destroy/vanquish it, and then replace it with one that will actually do what it’s supposed to do.

    These riots are signs of the awakened, it’s happening all over the world. The only ones that don’t see it (or the necessity of it) are the ones that don’t want to see it/their lives are benefited by it/their lives aren't affected by it/or just Pure Ignorance …so they rather preserve the flawed and unjust system. Their fears make them blind to it, makes them ignore/neglect opportunities to assist in changing it to the better. Instead they display their fear by saying things like "tptb wants us to fight back". but remain watching from the side lines making excuses while hanging out in their inactive parties. It’s easy to sit back in your own zone of solitude and profess to “rules”. However, if the rules don’t serve to place you in a position of prosperity (via fairness)…those rules should be broken immediately.

    When you’re paying people that were sworn to serve and protect you…you have every right to hold them accountable. I don’t care about the material loses, they all can be re-created and re-brought…but you can’t bring back a person that was killed by wicket individuals. If you don’t check the cruel and disrespectful behavior within your governments… they will continue to be oppressing and unfair. That said… good luck to all the protestors, and Godspeed.

    When will we stop being taken in by the MSM hype?

    Next stop Jade Helm nonsense to provoke idiots into thinking any 'drill' is real, and firing upon troops causing the 'drill' to go live!!! All very disconcerting. Happens so often, 9/11, 7/7 et al.... Trying to complete monetary selling of home before all hell breaks loose financially. So annoying, all this MSM 'hype' causing unnecessary suffering globally, again and again - so who are the MSM? The Neo-Con Zionist Globalist corporations, war is profit, "by way of deception thou shalt do war" (MOSSAD motto) even if it means working hand-in-glove 'secretly' (for profit of course) with the Saudis. This has been ongoing for years. Saudis + Israel against Iran et al.... All for control of resources in the middle east, and tentacles spreading unrest further afield, destabilising the Ukraine..... I am so tired of this repetitive nonsense, but it's not honestly reported in the MSM western media as they are bought and paid for, along with our 'Friends of...' politicians. Blackmailed into submission by secret societies? Probably.

    They are staging pilot events like this with some variations all over the states, to see how people react and how they can implement more resrictive measures, leading to the implementation of martial law.

    Let us differentiate between many things going on...
    I can not call it an awakening if thugs are looting, stealing and grabbing all they can.
    Let's not forget that in many areas, it has gone from protest to thievery...
    When you rob your neighbors, break their windows, go into their homes and businesses.............how is that a protest or awakening?
    There is no excuse or justice for vandalizing and looting.
    I understand standing against injustice, but not becoming thugs and thieves. If they were that angry they wouldn't just come against the police but police stations, government buildings such as courthouses and all. But against their very neighbors? No, for some it's an excuse to rob. For those who are truly standing against injustice, they are as afraid as most and this is all that this does is instill fear.

    Two years ago, such protests were happening in Montreal. For free university/colleges fees (a student here once finished his bachelor degree (license in Europe) has about 8,000$ of debts at the most. College is 300$ per semester for my daughter. University will be about 1,200$ a year. By the end of master and doctor degree they have at the most 25,000$. This cannot be compared with US students fees. They are very low here.

    It was to a point where we were wondering why they did so much strikes and broke so many windows.

    Nevertheless, some students being caught by the police started to wear masks. So this was forbiden by law, they could protest, but not wear masks. To discover that it was sometimes policemen that wore the masks!!! and lots of protestors were provoked by unrelated people......

    Since the late 60's, Montreal has been a CIA study ground for protest and terrorism. We are generally a laid back, verbally bitching, but in fact quite quiet people (french canadians). So if we can be provoked, and we do start demonstrations and riots, anybody with the same provocation will riot and start a war.

    So be aware of what is going on in Quebec with the young people and you will have what is coming down in USA - or South American countries - within 2 years.

    last springl austerity protests:



    If Mini Flash ever do like the naked girl at a protest, she is better not to come home that evening, i will ... be very nasty to her. But, she is too shy for that lol wishfull mom)


    Those below were in 2012 and quite violent. We did not truly understood what hte students wanted

    Make no mistake the state does not need excuses to kill their own. Riots or no riots, peaceful demonstrations or not when the time comes for the state to start executing its unwanted populous it will and they wont give a damn if they have a excuse or not. So you can forget all this Ghandi rubbish and smoking peace pipes and do what you have to do and have that very bloody revolution. Armed full on revolution...nothing short of that will suffice for the working classes. The state aint out playing games they are in it for keep's.

    it was recently traced that soros' non profit organistions were funding ferguson riots. what makes you think that baltimor isnt staged? the state needs to train its staff too you know. by the time its on for real cops need to be experienced and tactics made up. while there is food in people's stomacks most wont even dare questioning authority.

    it was recently traced that soros' non profit organistions were funding ferguson riots. what makes you think that baltimor isnt staged? the state needs to train its staff too you know. by the time its on for real cops need to be experienced and tactics made up. while there is food in people's stomacks most wont even dare questioning authority.
    It is true that George Soros funded many of the out of state rioters in Ferguson through Moveon.org and ACT. While this was lightly reported by the Wall Street Journal and the NYTimes it was not reported on too heavily in the mainstream media. His supporters have tried over the years to say that he donates monies to these organization but does not exert too much control. That statement has been pretty well refuted and even Soros supporters say that he is the main force behind the organization.

    My take on Soros is that he supports mostly liberal causes because they are much easier to influence than conservative causes. I don't think he cares about politics at all, what he cares about is George Soros and turning a profit. If funding civil unrest destabilizes markets and currencies than he can turn a profit. After all this is the man the man who broke the Bank of England because of his short sale of US $10 billion worth of pounds, giving him a profit of $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis. Imagine a $1Billion profit in one day. It really is that shallow and that simple.

    You can almost be assured that George Soros and other profiteers are behind the Baltimore riots. It has already been discovered that the top 50 twitter accounts that were attempting to incite riots or at the very least move people to destructive civil unrest were not from the state of Maryland at all.

    I wouldn't doubt for a second that theres planted ringleaders in these riots. Be nice to hear from the locals like maybe random troublemakers showed up that seemed out of place.

    the city of Baltimore has no real leaders , the Mayor is responsible to ensure domestic tranquility , provide for the common defense , etc ... they clearly don't have a clue what they are doing , good at a campaign but , lacking at understanding the constitution and their role in the bigger picture ... the first brick thrown should have been squashed ... violence will only lead to more violence ... I wish the police only carried stun guns , then no person could lose their life by the hand of those who swore an oath to protect and serve ...

    Let us differentiate between many things going on...
    I can not call it an awakening if thugs are looting, stealing and grabbing all they can.
    Let's not forget that in many areas, it has gone from protest to thievery...
    When you rob your neighbors, break their windows, go into their homes and businesses.............how is that a protest or awakening?
    There is no excuse or justice for vandalizing and looting.
    I understand standing against injustice, but not becoming thugs and thieves. If they were that angry they wouldn't just come against the police but police stations, government buildings such as courthouses and all. But against their very neighbors? No, for some it's an excuse to rob. For those who are truly standing against injustice, they are as afraid as most and this is all that this does is instill fear.
    well said ... the protestors see injustice , so their answer is more injustice ??? the very thing they are upset over , is the thing they commit thinking it will change something ... an 12 billion year old saying - do unto others as you would have them do unto you ... cause and effect ... society degenerates ...

    Not only a "divide and conquer" tactic but also a great distraction (or to scare citizens into begging for, once again, this time out of fear of domestic terrorists "burning our cities") from the upcoming vote on the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act. The protesters (the real ones) have been led right into this. It is pitiful.

    If the Patriot Act is renewed, it is game over and we will have lost.

    I am a 6th generation Baltimorean. I have a business in Baltimore that has been adversely affected as have many businesses in the downtown area. Bars and restaurants have to close by 9pm to meet the 10pm curfew. All events in the city have been canceled for this weekend. The Orioles game will be played tomorrow without any spectators being allowed into the ballpark. We experienced this same scenario in 1968 when Martin luther King was killed. It has taken from than until now to revitalize Baltimore with scores of young professionals moving back into the city. Contrary to the HBO series the Wire, Baltimore is a great city with much to offer and not unlike any large American city with it's pockets of poverty and crime.
    The Baltimore police department may very well have it's double standards as to how it handles the arrest and probable abuse of blacks versus whites. They should be held accountable for any wrong doing and I'm sure are not, all to often. I believe that several mistakes were made in how the Freddy Grey situation was handled by city officials leading up to this weekends events. Once those choices were made to give the protestors "space" to march as is their right to do so as guaranteed by the constitution, criminal elements realized that an opportunity existed to take advantage of the situation and they would not be contested by the police. Monday a tipping point was reached and there was no choice but to ask the governor to send in the National Guard.
    The immediate problem has been resolved and things have returned to normal for the most part as of tonight. The longer term problem of the poverty and lack of education, drugs, crime and blight in the black neighborhoods remain a problem without an easy solution.
    Baltimore has come to far since 1968 and we, as a city are determined to not lose the ground gained in the redevelopment of our city. I believe that we will come out of this more aware and more sensitive to the needs of the many that for to long have been ignored. We pat ourselves on the back for creating pockets of redevelopments around the waterfront while ignoring the problems of those that live on the outskirts of what the visitors come to Baltimore to see and enjoy. Moving forward Baltimore can come out of this a stronger city as long as it addresses instead of ignoring the inequalities.
