It has gotten to the point where events like this aren’t even newsworthy anymore. If Portland wasn’t descending into a crumbling anarchist dystopia, it would be more interesting to talk about.
“At least 100 self-proclaimed anarchists tore through Portland, setting dumpsters aflame, smashing windows and causing $500,000 in damage, but police stood idle because of a new state law that restricts how law enforcement can respond to riots.
The city just reached the ‘grim’ milestone of 1,000 shootings through 2021 in what has been a year of destructive protests, violent street clashes and a police staffing crisis.
Now police say a recently passed law ties their hands even further as it prohibits police from using crowd control techniques like pepper spray or tear gas. Instead, law enforcement agencies are told to rely on follow-up investigations to hold rioters accountable.
Portland’s latest round of violence broke out after a memorial for Sean Kealiher, an Antifa activist who was struck and killed by an SUV in October 2019 after getting in a fight with the driver at a bar earlier that night.
Police have not made any arrests in connection to Kealiher’s death, though his mother Laura believes they have identified the culprits, according to the Oregonian/Oregon Live. She organized last Tuesday’s protest on Twitter, writing that it was ‘not a peaceful event’ and dubbing it ‘a night of rage and anger.’ …”
Do you want to be governed by these people?
Do you want to share the same country with these people?
My answer is “no” on both counts. We are far too different in our vision and values.
Note: Please note how the “intelligence community” looks the other way at this. It is routine now. Clearly, we have arrived at the stage in Oregon where one group of citizens has been given permission by the state to violently impose their will on another class of citizens and destroy their property.
@. “Do you want to be governed by these people” ? NO , “Do you want to share the same country with these people” ?, NO, Since 1865 our people have been eating shit, I am the residue, of the appalachian diaspora to the rust belt, I have seen how my people have been treated in the north, how we are america’s step children, I know who our enemies are, I know who our friends are, for our children’s sake, we need, we MUST have our own country, GOD willing ..,……………….
This is typical US Corporate Interests death squad politics that the US imposed on South and Central America during the 1970s and 1980s. The Antifa and Black Lives have been deputized by the Corporate owned US state to murder Native Born White Working Resistance to Post-1965 race-replacement immigration policy.
Through these death squadrons Corporate Elites will murder the Native White Working Class for opposing post-1965 immigration policy…
For the record…this is why I have always hated Pinochet and his crowd….and his Alt Right Enthusiasts….Pinochet was neoliberal violence…updated to the Antifa and Black Lives Matter…
Nonwhites will eventually exterminate the homo-tranny freak Antifa…..But then there will be a war between nonwhite male Democratic Party Voters and Native White Working Class Males for control over the Living and Breeding space of post collapsed America…..Secession will not prevent this from happening……
No sympathy for Portland. They voted for this shit.
White people in Durban, SA, defended their communities with guns.
The police know who killed this Sean kid and are not arresting him for spite. And dead kids retarded mom wants to start a war with the police. I know, I know they are just like us.
This is what happens when the DA and mayor are antifa, and the rest are cowardly libtards.
Anarchism is absurd and sometimes harmful (classic “mad bomber” anarchism) but the U.S. Empire is worse than absurd and always harmful. The U.S. Empire routinely, every day, causes MUCH more than $500,000 damage. The lawless (because “it IS the law”) violent U.S. Empire destroys more every day than any protest riot ever did. And here are links to some great relevant recent articles on the “Super Empire”:

I noticed this also on the Saker blog today, on Iranian immigration to the U.S., off-topic but too good to ignore: (Excerpt) “This year the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced a startling figure: 1.5 million Iranians who were born in Iran now reside in the United States. That denotes that there has been a major jump since the phony Western War on Terror began. However, Iranians are not emigrating due to US invasion – the usual spark in the Middle East region – but because Iran produces so many college-educated, hireable workers (…) children of the Iranian Islamic (socialist) Revolution (who) grew up with the high-quality mass educational opportunities among the best in Muslim history (…) (B)ecause the Iranian government prioritizes educating the populace so much. In a world with billion-sized nations Iran produces the third-highest number of engineers in the world (70% of them women, the highest proportion of any country). These are men and women from poor backgrounds (especially going back a generation) who now have PhDs, while their class counterparts across much of the Muslim World are mired in dead-end lives even though their nations have attached such primacy to having good relations with the United States and Europe. This long-running wave (which shows no sign of running dry) of hyper-educated, hyper-hireable immigrants is scorching proof of the redistributive socio-economic successes produced by the Iranian socialist revolution”: https://thesaker.is/is-1-of-the-us-now-iranian-american-no-thats-an-undercount/
There’s so many experts.
Nah
Iran was way better under the Shah of Iran .
Beautiful tall and fair Persian women dressed in the latest French Parisian fashions .
C eat bon!
And then the Islamic Revolution in ~ 1978 through this beautiful society in to the 8 th century dark ages . Women made to wear Black burkas . Ugly , hairy men that don t bathe or use toilet paper – their Ayatollahs.
Monarchy is better for Arab and Muslim countries .
“the Islamic Revolution in ~ 1978 through this beautiful society in to the 8th century dark ages”:
No. That was when the Iranian people rose up and broke the shackles of the U.S.’s puppet dictatorship, and began to establish their own, genuine, ethno-national “socialism with Iranian characteristics.” The U.S. has been at war with Iran ever since, trying to regain control.
“Monarchy is better for Arab and Muslim countries”:
Monarchy is bad for EVERY country and the suffering and impoverishment of Iran under the jackboot of the Pahlavi dictatorship is just one more proof of that. Monarchy is theft and murder, and it began with theft and murder. Every “noble” class and every royal line with its so-called “Divine right,” if you trace it back, began as a gang of thieves and murderers.

Antifa must be the govts new civilian army Obama was talking about.
“one group of citizens has been given permission by the state to violently impose their will on another”
Same method as Germany, in the 1920s.
Communist wereallowed to run amuck, terrorizing the common citizen.
