Seems like a common pattern was followed and not acted on

Established NGO's and Assoc. fund Government-political officials to allow INFILTRATION of outside undocumented foreign persons, in exchange for political power and $$$$$$.

Consolidate Political Power & Media Controls
Demand accommodations in employment, education, social services, language, financing, courts and initial placement officials that support them and their agenda, in key positions.

Restrict private rights, self-defense laws and weapons.

Protests against old leadership and common existing social norms.

LAWFARE use.

Media Use.

Start open violence against law enforcement, Gov. officials, and open rejection of the established government laws and rule.

8 Bass has just continued her work as a leftist radical rather than perform as a mayor. I expect the same will happen in NYC.

9 Chris Bray took a walk around the scene on Saturday night and provided his impressions. The "rioters" congregated around one entrance as did the police. A hundred feet away in either direction were entrances that were unguarded and unthreatened. It was as if both sides agreed upon where the event was to take place with clear if unspoken limits. Kabuki theatre. The full story is on his substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-186478661

10 This is all bullshit theater.

Karen Bass is "fundamentally non-serious". Only a *fool* would vote for a black woman to serve in any position of nominal authority. Sorry to be that blunt, but it is what it is.

Waving Mexican flags? Again, bullshit. IF they love Mexico, they could go HOME there, which is EXACTLY what ICE is doing for those Mexicans who are in this country illegally.

Gas masks? Again, more bullshit. Governor hair-gel threatened ICE agents with arrests for wearing masks--why are supposed to pretend that its ok for violent people masquerading as "protestors" to wear masks?
