The G20 demonstrations were clearly infiltrated though, looks like they used about 200 (!!!) agent provocateurs, that way the rest of the mob could not stop them from becoming violent, and overshadowing all the peaceful protests. |
| BackFromTheDead User ID: 989297 United States06/26/2010 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now that the World Cup is over (for the us) the soccer fans can maybe divert their attention to something a little more important. Like Busting some Skulls! Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: "The goyim were born only to serve us Jews. Without that, they have no place in the world - only to serve the people of Israel. Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi (a lord or master) and eat. That is why gentiles were created” October 18, 2010 as quoted in the Jerusalem Post |

Italy, France, Romania, Greece, Germany and soon to be followed by all other European nations are rioting, burning and fighting for their "rights"; and what do Americans do; they bitch and moan and buy iPads. Quoting: StuIt's called blanket psychotronic manipulation. Instead of rioting we kill each other, have arguments over coffee, obsess about conspiracies to try to "understand it all" (but not actually do anything about it), watch late night movies on HBO, etc. |

"The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend." - Aldous Huxley "The horse jumped over the fucking fence." - Kurt Vonnegut |

It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue. |

You go out and act out against a bunch of underpaid member of law enforcemnt, show your ass, burn down your own neighborhood, wreck a few innocent people's cars then all go home. We're just not stupid enough to think that effects TPTB in any way whatsoever. |

| Goetia User ID: 987273 United States06/26/2010 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How much have they accomplished with their riots? You are aware that we are ingrained at an early age that we have the most powerful military in the world - and you want us to go up against it? You do realize they legalized using Predator Drones and the shutting off the internet. You think that's even a possibility anymore?  |
| Stu (OP) User ID: 838921 United States06/26/2010 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | right instead of rioting Americans would rather fly planes into IRS bldgs or go postal and kill innocent people [link to www.twitterfollowershop.com] _____________________________________ There is no use removing doubts one by one. If we clear one doubt another doubt will arise and there will be no end of doubts.

| MountainTux User ID: 873257 Canada06/26/2010 06:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Slaves don't riot. Quoting: ~MKNaomi~^this^ But remember, history shows us that EVERY known slave population eventually remembers the concept of power in numbers. Always, ALWAYS revolt has happened. Why? Because eventually, the greed of the slave-owners hits a tipping point, they TAKE more than the slaves can sustain, and losing one's life becomes a better option than living the life you suffer. These are facts, and facts always win... The power of Linux COMPELS you! |

| Rex Khristos User ID: 908143 United States06/26/2010 07:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cause we know THAT'S what they want! :( Quoting: Iddo The Prophet 933093 Why don't Americans riot? BECAUSE THEY KNOW TODAY'S TECHNOLOGIES WOULD DETUR RIOT WITH SPLITTING HEADACHE SOUNDS TO MAKE YOU RUN, OR USE MICROWAVES EMITIONS TO BURN YOU TO RUN     Exactly! :(  Sadly. Problem cannot by solved in the paradigm it was created in... "And though I believe in the ineffable glory of God, and though I might have experienced the undeniable reality of the Deity, and though I may know the secrets of the ages, these do not fulfill the Love in my heart. But to Change and Be and Do and dissolve both the subject of my person and the object of my God into the fluency of Empirical Providence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life." |
