Now We Know: Those 'Spontaneous' Anti-Trump Airport Protests Weren't Spontaneous At All
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 2/3/2017 | John Merline

Posted on 02/03/2017 9:48:25 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

There was always something fishy about the outbreak of "spontaneous" protests at airports around the country in the immediate wake of President Trump's executive order pausing visas and refugees from terror-prone countries.

Not that you'd suspect anything from the way they were covered. Nearly every story published over that weekend stated without equivocation that the protests were an unplanned and visceral reaction to Trump's executive order. Examples:

"Spontaneous Protests Hit Airports Across America Following Trump's Executive Order"

"Protest Grows 'Out of Nowhere' at Kennedy Airport"

"The senseless cruelty of the executive order has led to spontaneous protests at many of America's major airports."

"Word of the spontaneous demonstration was spread across social media."

But these protests weren't spontaneous at all. They were, in fact, the result of months of careful planning by hard-core left-wing activist groups.

I hope and pray they are able to track all this back to Soros and finally put his ass in jail.

Nineteen Eighty-four

“All over Oceania this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when workers marched out of factories and offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Big Brother for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us.”

“At the Ministry he was employed in some subordinate post for which intelligence was not required, but on the other hand he was a leading figure on the Sports Committee and all the other committees engaged in organizing community hikes, spontaneous demonstrations, savings campaigns, and voluntary activities generally.”

The `spontaneity’ is a socialist astroturf lie.

So far, e have seen two FUBARS, both of which were predicated by the previous administration.
The Yemani attack (with one SF dead, and 6 injured)
and the aliens delayed at the airport.
My money is on the fact that there is a "mole" who is leaking information.

RegulatorCountry :" I think you may have gotten it right the first time"

Yeah, I was going to leave it stand.
But then I remembered about the spelling and punctuation police,
and the beatings with rubber truncheons !

We once had a “typso” ping list here, for amusingly appropriate typos. It’s apparently fallen by the wayside, sadly.

San Jose and other rally locations, Ferguson and the rest.
This is criminal activity. We need Sessions in place ASAP.

Yeah, we all know who is behind it.

A good start on your prayer coming true.

WE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROPOSE A NEW ADMINISTRATION POLICY:

Issue an International Arrest Warrant for George Soros,

Created by A.B. on January 21, 2017

Sign This White House Petition or never cry/moan about terrorist in America again.

Needs 99,355 signatures by February 20, 2017 to get a response from the White House

George Soros is a menace to the free world and stands in the way of making America great again. He is guilty of the following crimes:

1) Financially supports open sedition in major American cities resulting in millions of dollars of property damage as well as loss of life.

2) Attempts to manipulate democratic elections by donating millions of dollars to his preferred candidates.

3) Seeks to curtail American sovereignty. In his own words: "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ... Changing [the] attitude and policies of the United States remains my top priority."

4) Is a currency manipulator. Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.

A quick reminder, Obama/Soros and their thugs are no longer in charge of the White House and this site.

Amen Sister. We Need Jeff Sessions approved as our Attorney General to enforce the current law shown below:

U.S. Code 2385 states:

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

From the article:

“What’s amazing isn’t the planning or the execution of these protests, but the fact that the media acted as though it was all happening without any planning or coordination at all.”

Wrong, what’s amazing is that the author is amazed that the media were onboard with promoting this as spontaneous.

Dumber than a bag of hammers.

AG Sessions needs to follow-up on these leads.
