....LMB: "Miami Vice Grip"....

I've seen the "Black Bloc" during the coronation of the Smirking Chimp In A Man Suit in January
2001. The more I think about this small group of vandals the more it reeks of counterintelligence
in the name of the state.

First off there were tens of thousands of protesters and concerned citizens in the streets that day. There was a lot of chanting and sloganeering to be experienced. The streets were literally PACKED with this noisy yet violence-free sea of humanity. It was very hard to see where it began and where it ended when I climbed on top of a newspaper vending machine to attempt to gauge a better view of the surroundings. It was that large.

Then comes this small group of vandals, masked and clad in black, posing as "anarchists" who
broke through the barricades. We don't know who they were. I certainly didn't agree with their
methods.

Finally, when I arrived back home, the reportage of the massive demonstrations were effectively
BLACKED OUT with only occasional footage of the black-clad "anarchists" being beaten down. Thank
goodness I had two VCR's taping CNN and Faux News while I was on DC just to see what those at
home were led to believe.

It's an interesting pattern which corporate conglomorates can capitalize upon to keep the sheeple in fear and those who feed off of that fear in power.

In the case of the vandalism of business franchises, to the aristocracy it's a win-win-win deal:

1) Learn where the next big-time demonstration is going to be held.

2) Propagate the assertion time and time again that ALL demonstrations will lead to violence.

3) Find those in corporate power willing to "take one for the team" (Starbucks, et. al.).

4) Find those willing to vandalize property, specifically franchised storefronts owned by some
high-profile corporate entity (Starbucks can afford to let one unit get vandalized by the
blackshirts for the sake of the task at hand).

5) The local media will gleefully ignore the much larger non-violent demonstrations (much less
any analysis of the issues presented) and focus upon the vandalism because "if it bleeds it
leads".

6) The "violent" footage gets sold to corporate-owned/corporate-subsidized mass media and is
broadcast nationwide to the sheeple.

7) The sheeple believe that all demonstrations lead to violence, "as proven time and time again
by the trustworthy corporate-owned/corporate-subsidized mass media".

8) Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

The valdalism of corporate-owned storefronts works great on two points in the eyes of the
fearmongerers: 1) The corporations can AFFORD to let one storefront go for the sake of the
greater "good" of the propaganda-mongering at hand and 2) They get to pervert an anti-corporate
stance made by millions of activists into one of a violent anarchic uprising. The overall message
in the miniscule brains of the herds of sheeple out there, whome beleve anything labeled as NEWS
as being REALITY, is that something must be done against these demonstrators because THEY
THREATEN OUR WAY OF LIFE! The above just reinforces that overall message again and again and again, ad naseum.

So the sheeple bitch to their law enforcement agencies about how RADICAL these protesters are
(nevermind that I find that the so-called "pro-life" movement demonstrations advocate, through
their actions, the murder of doctors for the sake of the notion that abortion is "murder", is
light-years more RADICAL than what's to be found elsewhere, but that's my personal opinion) and are afraid of their community turning into the aftermath of the Watts riots. Soon the idea that fenced-in concentration camps...err, pens, designated as "First Amendment Zones" seems to be a good idea in the mislead brainwashed eyes of the masses.

And we wonder how we've come to this? Shit, I'm so old that I remember when the only First
Amendment zone that I was aware of was the United States of America. Lately, with all of the
corporate shenigans occurring to benefit the fascistic aristocracy it's looking more like, as
Joe Mantegna stated in David Mamet's "House Of Games", "The United States of Kiss My Ass".

The sad part is that the corporate-owned/corporate-subsidized mass media couldn't care less about performing its democratic duty in actually attempting to expose the machinations at work here.

It's so much easier to make the cash off of promoting fear and the destruction of our civil
liberties so that the fascistic aristocracy gets richer. The same with the local media: Ratings
rule and context? "Fuck that shit! We can make more money by selling the footage to Faux News and getting hometown exposure too!"

I've seen and experienced much more than the sheeple. Nevermind that I have the photographs I've personally taken of the demonstrations I've attended. Nevermind that I know the truth and the
local media simply rejects the evidence at hand outright in pursuit of those pieces of silver.

How does one break this to the sheeple that they are being lied to? How does one go about getting
them outraged to the point that they're finally provoked into beneficial democratic action
against the aristocracy rather than being misdirected against us while the aristocracy laughs its way to the bank?

I just wish that more concerned citizens learned of authentic journalism through the likes of
NarcoNews and the Independent Media Center rather than the sensationalistic corporate-
owned/corporate-subsidized mass media tabloid propaganda which masquerades as "News".

i'm wondering if they're not perfecting this
anti-protest scenario in order to deal with
spontaneous discontent after the stealing of
the '04 election...
