@Smokin Joe I think they're going to push until they set off whatever it is they are trying to set off. The MSM, Hollywood, academia and many in the government are doing all they can to ensure that some sort of country-changing conflict occur.
Well, here's the gambit. Remember, they're following the SDS/Weathermen/Assorted COmmunist New Left playbook from the '60s.
The ultimate goal is violent "Revolution" and the destruction of the existing framework of government to replace it with a Socialist (seriously, read that as "Communist") totalitarian Government.
In America, that "revolution' would result in nothing less than a Civil War, most likely along racial lines. (But not necessarily so).
There really is nothing new under the sun, and Mao's little Red Book, and the one that Castro went by, are all the same set of plays, and the sad part is that they often worked.
Here is what we have from then , still in play today.
>Racism (and other disaffected groups) has been resurrected, as never before under Obama. We all saw that going down.
Racial and other 'disaffected' groups have been increasingly primed for conflict by insisting they have been wronged. In some cases, those groups have been augmented by folks imported (legally and illegally) just to swell the ranks of people who massively benefit from being here, yet can be convinced by community organizers that they are somehow being cheated.
All is done for the purpose of fomenting violence against the (still) majority group in this country.
Drug use, (Heroin? Really? Again?) up and promoted, and legalization has managed to push through in some jurisdictions for recreational use without regard for the social costs of yet another intoxicant on the streets. A pipe dream in the '60s, now reality.
Undermine the authority and legitimacy of Law Enforcement Organizations, and corrupt them when possible.
Obama's Legacy is that no one trusts any investigative organization in the US Government to tell the truth, to be honest, nonpartisan and uphold the Law. This effect trickles down to the streets, and it was that effect which permitted the whole BLM movement to get traction, along with the presumptive racism involved, that "white" cops were killing "innocent" blacks. While 60s and 70s protest music was laced with anti establishment propaganda, the movement music of today has a different twist, calling for not for protest, so much as action, action taking the form of retribution for slights real and imagined.
Violent outcomes are promoted, from Jarrett's cries of "paybacks" to the current batch, and an apocalyptic outcome predicted (common in many quasi-religious and religious cults, actually), along with the notion that the 'group' has the only solution. It's a redux version of "Burn baby burn" (not the Disco Inferno, either)
Renewed attempts to disarm Americans. (The 1968 Gun Control Act was a watered down version of what the Communists wanted, and only pushed through with the emotional boost of the assassinations of Jack Kennedy, MLK jr., and Bobby Kennedy with people howling to 'do something'. It hasn't stopped Gerald Ford from looking down the barrel of a .45 nor Ronald Reagan from getting shot.)
The continued destruction of fixed principle morality with situation ethics, accompanied by the removal of Almighty God from the picture and the substitution of the ravings of a drunken pedophile when some control is needed, yet demanding religious protections.
A return to segregation, imposed not by the "oppressors" but by the groups which seek to cloister themselves from interfacing daily with the very diverse groups they previously claimed they wanted to be integrated with. That cloistering has the effect of permitting the leaders of that group to set the worldview of those in the group, keeping interactions with other groups hostile or superficial, and in effect, dehumanizing the 'others'. The leaders of this movement can always claim that the segregation is somehow 'necessary' due to the hostility of other groups, a shifting of blame that is a common theme throughout.
Now, Race riots only burned a couple of towns this time around (so far). Not like the 60s. That didn't work. People are beginning to see through that crap despite the hustlers who have been at it for years.
They don't have a war to protest or point to, not like Vietnam, although the Muslims who have taken sanctuary here from war zones sometimes have no compunction about decrying the very Nation nor Sociopolitical System they have taken refuge in.
However, the spectre of 'random violence', something which can be made to order (Las Vegas?), or can be nurtured through media, social perceptions, and individual case by case manipulation to produce an environment which will be more likely to produce individuals with violent ideation who are likely to act on that, who can be encouraged through sock puppets on social media, and other stimuli to cut loose and kill, has been raised.
The first mass shooter was during LBJ's administration. Obama had as many mass shootings as the administrations from LBJ through W, combined. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, and the wind is being sowed like never before.
Here's the rub. If we don't play, they can't win.
Let them expose themselves with their street punks, and while we defend ourselves (and others) when necessary. If the Citizens of this Republic who disagree don't give in to wholesale violence, the Communists won't have the inevitable collateral damage to point to as some sort of atrocity to gin up world (socialist) sympathy and take to the UN and look for Peacekeepers, to help usher in Global Socialism. Even one dead child from the human screen these people will use will become a rallying point.
Which raises the question of false flag operations to provide the necessary propaganda influence to push people to give up the Rights they possess. While conveniently decried as"conspiracy theory", hiding behind that smokescreen would only make the outrageous more possible, just as the concept that gents in the preeminent law enforcement and intelligence agencies might be in collusion or active participants with those who destroyed evidence of traitorous activity at the highest levels of the United States Government.
Americans have a lot to be angry about. They don't trust government, especially one Party, although many have placed their hopes for the future on the back of one man. Let that trust be betrayed, and I think all bets are off.
