As Trayvon Martin riots loom, the STORM manifesto displays relevance
PGA Weblog ^

Posted on 04/07/2012 10:39:55 AM PDT by ProgressingAmerica

I was listening to a local talk show discussing Trayvon Martin and how potential riots are coming, and one of the comments of a caller hit me: Rodney King. We're dealing with revolutionaries here - there are no coincidences.

So I whipped out my trusty copy of the Reclaiming Revolution manifesto and flipped a few pages. Right there on page 5,(or section 2 1:50) is where it mentions how Roots Against War(RAW - STORM's predecessor) helped organize the protests behind the Rodney King riots.

As I made note of not too long ago, Van Jones is a self-described communist.(And the STORM manifesto repeatedly talks about their Marxist philosophy) But the other things that are contained in this admission are important for building the puzzle here. Since the media don't take revolutionaries seriously, we have to do the work ourselves. Jones states:

"I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."

April 29th is when the riots started. This the timeframe when he joined up with the people from RAW/STORM. This whole Trayvon Martin situation is exactly the kind of thing that's made to order for malcontents, and they state this directly in the section of the handbook titled "Moving from Resistance to Revolution", which I think is one of the most important sections. While I'm sure many of us realize that revolutionaries are present in all countries and that they're building a platform for themselves in the shadows(so as to not be seen, but be ready to cause trouble when the opportunity arises), it's quite a different thing to see it written. Because now it's no longer your theory, or even common sense.

Now it's verified.

That's why if you do a little digging, you'll see that Color of Change - one of the groups that Van Jones started - is involved in this. This is not a coincidence.

The STORM manifesto is being uploaded to Youtube, when time permits. Here is the first section. I wanted to make sure it's in a high profile place, and that's the highest profile place that I can place it at as an individual.

Senator Klobuchar (D-Mn) 2009, conning us to pass the stimulus bill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goTYOjh2q9M&feature=related

Klobuchar “As Van Jones has said, who is a guy who has written a book about the green collar economy, when you think about the green economy, don’t think about Buck Rogers; think about joe six-pack putting on a green hard hat. Think about Rosie the riveter manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. This is President Obama’s plan — jobs, jobs, jobs.”

Obama, Van Jones, and Klobuchar were standing in line waiting to see the Devil. Jesus was on the hot seat, being offered the world if he would worship Lucifer (and his method of giving humans what they want, rather than what they need).

Jesus says "No", of course, and leaves.

Obama comes up and says, "Who do I bow to?".

Van Jones comes up and says, "how much 'green' are we talking about?".

Klobuchar comes up and says, "Where do I sign?".

In the `60s “downtown” was where you worked and you lived in suburban bedroom communities.
Today a good portion of the downtowns of many large and medium sized cities have been `gentrified.’ I own property in our downtown.
If the SOBs attempt Watts/Detroit/Wash. DC II, they will find themselves going up against not just the police and National Guard, but residents and owners.

Human nature is tribalism and unrest. Western civilization is in the process of committing suicide. Lots of factors, lots of symptoms, lots of causes.

I would be surprised if the racial agitators were NOT "organized." Same with the anarchists. Most of time their violent shenanigans are contained, sometimes they are able to cause widespread mayhem.

“As Trayvon Martin riots loom,”

They sure made a poor choice for a poster boy.

I mean, it’s not like with all the black kids being killed these days (especially by blacks) that they couldn’t find a better ‘cause’ (victim) to grab on to.

Or maybe it’s the fact that shootings of blacks by (half) white Neighborhood Watch Captains is such a rarity.

Matter of fact, it is the rarity of ‘whites’ shooting ‘blacks’ that makes any such incident news at all.

If white on black killings happened all the time, like black on black killings, it wouldn’t be NEWS.

In the NYC area "Holder's people" have been pushed farther and farther out into the boroughs. Many have left the area for the South.

Unfortunately, most of the gentrifiers have neither the will nor the firearms to fight back. If the Amish decide to attack a Hispanic nabe however...

Why I’m excited for spring 2012
Posted on April 6, 2012 by Molly Katchpole

Are you excited for the spring? You definitely should be: warm weather, blooming flowers, ice cream stands opening… and activism! Check out the email we sent this morning:

The 99% Spring is starting on Monday. Will you be a part of it?

The 99% movement is about to have its second act. We’re gonna prove that we meant it and we’re not going away. This Spring, the 99% will take on corporate power, Wall Street greed, and the political corruption of the 1%.

But first, we prepare — in a big way. There will be a truly unprecedented series of trainings throughout the country, where 100,000 Americans will get ready for this next phase. The trainings will happen in homes, on campuses, in places of worship, and in public spaces. There are already over 900 trainings scheduled all over the country. And they start Monday.

I live in the burbs. Low crime area. In the past two weeks there have been two attempted breakins and rims and tires stolen off a truck. In one attempt a woman was home and hit the panic button. In the other the alarm sounded and the guy ran. Both were identified as blacks. It’s moving out of the “downtowns” and ghettos and it’s moving fast.

I feel like we’re all sittin’ on a keg of dynamite. But less than half the people realize it.

And by what mechanism do we normal, law-abiding citizens mobilize to combat these violent groups?

The Left organized riots all the time up to the Rodney King blast out. At that point it shifted from scaring American politicans to meet communist demands, to irking Americans to go in the opposite direction and dethrone the Left from elected power.

They are going to try it again. Pussy footing with the “kids” who are occupying cities illegally is one of the moves made by the Dems to allow the anarchists to get a foothold in “community organizing.” They are also threatening and demoralizing law enforcement and politicans so they won’t stop the Left’s operations.

America saw it all before. Be ready. Obammy, Van and the gang want to hit white areas with riots. If you live in the city, don’t be stupid and let them murder you. Clear out before it starts. They always tell you when it is going to happen. Right now it is scheduled for time a grand jury fails to indict Zimmerman. Then it will come right after the trial if Zimmerman is not convicted. It will happen pretty fast, so you have to clear out fast when you see it coming.

Chances are, there won’t be any police and National Guard interfering with the community organizers’ riots. Get out before it starts if you are in the city. They will murder whites in the area they attack and will call them 99%ers.
