It appears this subject has linked together both ACB Chat and Blind Democracy.
It's interesting to see that each of us bends this story to suit our
own political bias'.
For the record, the Media referred to here, is the property of the
American Oligarchy. The networks and the publishing Houses are owned
by those with a vested stake in protecting the Establishment. Donald
Trump is a master at manipulating the Media. Like a tornado, he has
spun so many stories that the Media falls over its own tongues trying
to keep up with him. Keeping America stirred up and turning different
factions against one another is part of an age old formula for
success...Divide and Conquer!
While we are bickering over who said what and who did what, the Ruling
Class is busy battening down the hatches.
It's difficult to believe that the American Empire could keep a
straight face when it announces that it is going about the world
preaching Peace and democracy. Do we really want to point to our own
national mess and tell the world that this is what democracy looks
like?

Dear Frank and List Members:
You and I heard quite different accounts of the events involved here.
It
is my understanding that the catholic school students were on a trip to D.
C. and most were wearing caps with a pro-trump initials which drew the
attention demonstrators in the area and that is was the demonstrators and a
few under the influence who aggressively challenged the students. The
mainstream reporters initially put the same spin on this, which is reflected
in your statement. It appears that school age children are targets of the
media, if they dare to wear a cap with, MAGa on their caps.
These are trying times and the "mainstream" media are a large part of
the
problem
News should be factual and not simply anti Trump spin.
Yours Truly,

Subject: [acb-chat] Hatred, intimidation and make America white again
Now that the hour plus long video has surfaced of a group of Catholic School
students engaging in multiple confrontations in our nations capital the
picture is clearer and worse than ever. There was a group of black Hebrews
loudly protesting the president's policies, namely the wall. The group of
teens and their chaperones, wearing MAGA hats loudly counter protested with
build the wall and go back to Africa chants. At this point the confrontation
was mostly peaceful with the teens staying about 15 feet away from their
intended targets. At that point 3 native Americans started playing their
drums and chanting. This is where things took a turn for the ugly. The teens
surrounded them and started to close in their circle around them, blocking
their exit or retreat. Taking it a step further one of the teens, in a
threatening move, took off his shirt and got directly within inches of the
native Americans who were powerless to retreat. While the apologists will be
quick to point out that no
assault occurred, lets look at another crime that doesn't get as much air
time. It is called menacing. Yes, in many locales that is a felony. It is to
act in a manner which would make the victim believe they are in jeopardy of
injury or death. Evidentially those lads were willfully ignorant of the
legal consequences of their actions. If a group of black, Hispanic, or
Muslum males surrounded a member of the privileged class or a police officer
in the manner these lads did they would have been shot. Let's look at
another example that occurred on this list. There was a theory set forth by
some here who believe their status as members of the privileged class allows
them to forego tipping a wait staff. Those folks are willfully ignorant of
something known as "theft of service", which is a very real crime in many
places. What these two aforementioned examples teach us is that when you are
a member of the privileged class you can be as willfully ignorant of the law
as you choose to be; be cause in the end the laws don't apply to you. So
like it or not, those fine lads from their wealthy, plaid tie, blue blazer,
embroidered breast pocket private school have become the face of the new
privileged class and an icon of everything that is wrong with the
ever-increasing socio-economic divide.
