The videos and images we’ve seen on social media and the news from all over the country over the last week have at times been moving, like in instances where police officers and legitimately peaceful protesters were actually engaging in respectful dialogue. Far more often, though, we’ve seen the highly disturbing images and videos of the rampant looting, arson, assaults, and destruction that is being orchestrated in American cities like Minneapolis and Los Angeles day after day from so-called “peaceful protesters” in the name of “Justice for George.” The state of New York was the grand central station of mass...

Rioters Are Literally Blasting ‘The Purge’ Commencement Announcement in the Streets: “Any and All Crime, Including Murder, Will Be Legal for 12 Continuous Hours.” VIDEOS......

In an effort to alert residents to the parish-wide curfew in Acadia Parish, Crowley Police rode around town broadcasting an alarm signal at 9:00 last night, but it's not what anyone expected. In a video provided to KATC, the audible alarm from Crowley Police is actually the alarm sound from the successful film franchise "The Purge". The implementation of the siren, which Crowley Police told residents would be different than regular police sirens, is to enforce the 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew. When residents hear this sound, Crowley Police say it is for their citizens to be notified that...

For the past few days, since reading and watching news about the film The Hunt, (now apparently canceled or delayed), I’ve been planning to write a piece focusing on the screenplay’s kill list of “deplorable” American conservatives. My initial primary resource was the official movie trailer itself. Now, in a two minute movie trailer, nothing is included by chance, not even one frame. Halfway through, a bulletin board is shown with photos of the deplorables who have been kidnapped for the hunt depicted in the movie. You will note that along with an evil rhino hunter and a tiki-torch-marching...

Monday, May 04, 2015 The Truth About Baltimore Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog The real victim in Baltimore is not Freddie Gray, a repeat loser who eventually died as he had lived, being arrested by the police. The real victims are not the thugs smashing and looting stores. It isn’t the young black men disproportionately stopped by the racist majority black police force in Baltimore under a racist black police commissioner for doing nothing wrong except the usual drug and weapons charges. It’s not even the “majority of law-abiding Baltimore families” referenced by politicians. 85% of...

The storyline may be fiction, but the idea behind the movie “The Purge” is terrifying. The film portrays a futuristic society, where for 12 hours all crime is legal.   Now, social media sites are buzzing about threats that a purge is planned in Jacksonville later this month.   Dale Carson is an attorney and former FBI agent, who said just making that threat is a felony, but the problem is finding the person or group responsible.    “It certainly approaches the level of terroristic threats,” he tells Action News. “This is a social media virus and once it's out...

The new Ethan Hawke thriller The Purge was number one at the box office during its opening weekend, but critics are slamming the film for its thinly veiled commentary against the National Rifle Association and Tea Party groups. The plot brings moviegoers to the near future where in 2022 a new regime has come to America. The "New Founders" have taken over the country and practically eliminated unemployment crime, and want. One of the ways this new political movement has brought on such an idyllic society is to allow one night a year when any and all violence, even murder,...

The Purge is an attack on the Tea Party and NRA.

BANGKOK — Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has ordered the Pentagon to find out why so many generals and admirals have become embroiled in legal and ethical problems, a trend exacerbated by recent investigations of two of the military’s best-known commanders. The Pentagon disclosed Panetta’s directive on Thursday after he arrived in Thailand as part of a visit to Asia. But aides insisted that he had been considering the review for some time and that it was not prompted by revelations that the FBI has been investigating former CIA director David H. Petraeus, a retired Army general, and Marine Gen....

Former Pacific Fleet chief: We need full disclosure on Benghazi — now POSTED AT 9:31 AM ON OCTOBER 30, 2012 BY ED MORRISSEY Retired Admiral James A. Lyons likely pulled few punches as commander in chief of the US Pacific Fleet during his career … and he hasn’t started pulling punches now, either. In a blistering column at The Washington Times, the former commander blasts the lack of action from the US when the administration learned our consulate in Benghazi had come under attack, writing that “courage was lacking” that might have saved at least some of the four American...

ALMOST NOTHING GOOD TO SAY – ABOUT ANYBODY PART IX © by Norman Liebmann The nearest the two parties have come to agreement is, the Democrats don’t want to fight wars and the Republicans don’t want to win them. The Republicans won’t take yes for an answer and the Democrats cannot resist the sweet smell of surrender. This may be the right time to schedule a series of television debates between The Donald and Rosie. It could be called Trump versus Frump. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villagairosa wanted to give the city of Los Angeles a Spanish name until he...

The head of the much dreaded NKVD, which became the KGB, which killed tens of millions of Soviet citizens in the Purge under Joseph Stalin. He was also a member of the Communist Party and very loyal to Stalin, which made him First Lieutanant. He was one of Stalin's henchmen. He was also born in Georgia, like Stalin. He was the one who actually carried out the Purge, by detaining, torturing, and executing untold tens of millions of people that Stalin hated. When Stalin died in 1953, he saw himself as a successor, but was thrown out by Nikita Khrushchev...
