Mass civil unrest is a cumbersome weapon for societal change; like an oversized caveman club made of oak. You can barely swing it, and when you do you might destroy an enemy with it but you could also unwittingly destroy innocent people at the same time. Once the weapon is in motion adjusting its direction or momentum becomes difficult.
I prefer the scalpel approach - Find the cancer and cut it out directly, rather than bashing at the whole body just to get at one tumor.
Another problem with protests and riots is that they often have no discernible goals, or they lose track of their goals almost immediately. When the initial protests started, they targeted the police precinct in Minneapolis which was home to the officers that killed George Floyd. In my view this was perfectly acceptable. At this stage a majority of Americans were on their side. Many conservatives and law enforcement officers even came out in support of these measures and admonished the actions that violated common police procedure and led to unnecessary death.
But now, the situation has turned into something far beyond the killing of George Floyd. It has become a vehicle for agendas and not surprisingly the establishment benefits most; the very establishment the protesters think they are fighting against.
The riots have been co-opted. Where whites and blacks, conservatives and liberals alike were mostly in agreement, now there are attempts at racial division. Why is the death of Floyd being presented as a race issue in the first place? Why is it not being presented as a psychopath issue? There are psychopaths in every race in equal numbers, and this should be people's focus. In other words, psychopaths must be removed from society, whether they be police, politicians, business leaders, “caretakers”, etc. How about some examples...
In Mesa, Arizona in 2017, a white man named Daniel Shaver was murdered by officer Phillip Brailsford after an anonymous tip told police he had a rifle in his hotel room. Though it is not illegal to own a rifle in Arizona and certainly not illegal to bring one into a hotel, a team of officers was sent armed with AR-15s to approach and arrest Shaver. Brailsford ordered the frightened Shaver to crawl across the floor instead of asking him to lay on the ground with his hands and feet spread as is normal police procedure. The man, sobbing in terror, reached to pull up his shorts which were falling off, and was riddled with bullets by Brailsford.
Watching the video, it is clear that Brailsford created a situation in which Shaver could easily “make a mistake” and thereby manufacture an excuse for the officer to kill him in cold blood. As it turned out, the rifle Shaver had in his room was a BB gun. A jury later acquitted Brailsford of any wrongdoing on the grounds that they could not determine "his thoughts and feelings" at the time of the shooting. This sounds strange to me and I don't think most people on trial for murder get anywhere near the same latitude with so much evidence on hand.
On the same day in North Carolina an officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder of an unarmed motorist. The difference? The motorist in South Carolina was black.
The point is, psychopathic cops kill people regardless of their skin color. White people are at risk as much as black people. But at least when a black person is wrongly killed, the public and the media might take serious notice. There were no nationwide protests or riots for Daniel Shaver. The establishment works in favor of psychopaths, not white people. In fact, Phillip Brailsford was fired and then REHIRED for a short time by the Mesa Police so that he could still apply for his pension.
What about psychopaths that aren't white cops? Oh, there are plenty of them, too. How about Mohamed Noor, a BLACK Minneapolis police officer that killed an unarmed white woman, Justine Ruszczyk, in 2017 while responding to her 911 call? Leftist activists including those at the NAACP at the time claimed that Noor was being “unfairly targeted” because he was black. There were no protests or riots for Justine Ruszczyk. Though, luckily, Mohamed Noor did go to jail for his crime.
And if we are going to continue following the thread of violence and psychopathy vs. race, I can't leave out the black resident in Detroit that filmed himself torturing elderly nursing home patients by beating them repeatedly in their beds, completely unable to defend themselves. The man has been arrested, but again, no riots yet over this horror show.
There are evil people of every race and ethnicity in this world that do terrible things, however, the worst people are those that exploit the tensions that these evil people create in order to turn crisis into opportunity. The reason there are riots happening globally now in the wake of the death of George Floyd is because people are angry, but also, people are malleable and easy to manipulate when they are angry.
The country has just partially “reopened” from the pandemic lockdowns, and more lockdowns are likely before the year is out. Over 40 million people lost their jobs during the economic shutdown and the government checks are not going to sustain the public much longer. Only 13% to 18% of small businesses that requested aid actually received money from the small business bailout, and most of those that did not get money are facing closure. Government restrictions have been accelerating, and people are already on edge. Riots are now an inevitable part of daily life in America.
But with events like the death of George Floyd, the riots can be manipulated.
The rage of the masses can be directed on false issues of race and surface level left/right politics instead of being directed at corrupt government and the elites that created the economic mess we now see before us. The protests over George Floyd started out by raising questions on abuse of power by police, a legitimate cause. Now they have been poisoned by race politics and outsiders seeking to create useful chaos.
Provocateurs have infiltrated the protests and are attempting to trigger indiscriminate violence. Pre-staged weapons such as piles of bricks, bottles and other items have been appearing magically in protest zones. Property is being destroyed by people not connected to the main protest groups. Odd occurrences are popping up everywhere.
Here is where this is all headed...
As I predicted in 2016 just after the election of Donald Trump, it appears the goal of the establishment is to produce extreme division among the American public and then exploit the hard-left as a weapon to frighten conservatives into supporting martial law. In my article 'Order Out Of Chaos: Defeat Of The Left Comes With A Cost', I stated:
“With Trump and conservatives taking near-total power after the Left had assumed they would never lose again, their reaction has been to transform. They are stepping away from the normal activities and mindset of cultural Marxism and evolving into full blown communists. Instead of admitting that their ideology is a failure in every respect, they are doubling down.
When this evolution is complete, the Left WILL resort to direct violent action on a larger scale, and they will do so with a clear conscience because, in their minds, they are fighting fascism. Ironically, it will be this behavior by leftists that may actually push conservatives towards a fascist model. Conservatives might decide to fight crazy with more crazy.”
Donald Trump has consistently discussed the use of the National Guard in response to the pandemic and the protests. And now, he is apparently considering using the Insurrection Act to deploy heavily armed military forces to US soil.
Is it just a coincidence that conservatives were the most opposed to medical martial law only a week ago in the face of the pandemic, and now they are considering the merits of martial law in the face of the leftist influenced riots? And who actually benefits from this? Perhaps the elitist establishment that's been calling for martial law measures from the very beginning?
I have been hearing the narrative everywhere in liberty movement circles that "civil war is here" and "we have to support Trump and martial law to stop it". Firstly, I have been warning for years that Trump is controlled opposition. His cabinet is overflowing with the same banking elites and globalists that the liberty movement stands against. Giving Trump martial law powers is no different than giving the elites around him martial law powers. If you support martial law and overarching government then you are NOT a conservative, you are a statist, and statists must be opposed by all who value freedom.
These people also don't understand what "civil war" actually is. Groups of people protesting is not a war. What I see primarily is a bunch of ignorant children posing for Instagram photos and pretending they are activists. And if as the evidence suggests there is a provocateur element infiltrating these protests to stir up violence, then isn't it possible that their goal is to get us to back martial law policies?
If the infiltrators are extremist communist organizations like Antifa or Black Lives Matter that receive funding from elites like George Soros and his Open Society Foundation, then we should consider the possibility that the intention is not just to influence the protests, but to also influence conservatives to react by supporting violent government power. If they can trick conservatives into suddenly supporting the lockdowns, curfews, and a national guard/military presence to stop the protests, then they will have defeated us without firing a shot. We will have defeated ourselves and our own constitutional principles.
The bottom line? More government power is NEVER the solution to any problem. Totalitarianism is never the answer. There will now be endless excuses to declare martial law. When the George Floyd riots fizzle out, there will be some other trigger event. In fact, these riots are probably just a precursor to the riots that will rage when the public realizes the US economy is not coming back from the pandemic, and that more lockdowns are on the way. I would not be surprised if the Floyd riots are even blamed for a resurgence of Covid infections, which would give the government a rationale for more lockdowns. Beware anyone that uses martial law as the go to answer to these crisis events.
The solution in this case is to prosecute the police involved in the murder of George Floyd to the fullest extent of the law, point out that this is a problem of abuse of power and psychopathy, not a problem of race, and to stop outside interests from busing in provocateurs to trigger riots. This is being done in some cases by the protestors themselves, who are exposing provocateurs within their ranks and filming them in the act.
The next best step is for businesses to secure and defend their own properties. We have seen it time and time again; the buildings that have armed personnel on hand to guard them do not get torched. Of course, right now a number of companies that have property damage due to rioters and looters are actually SUPPORTING the rioters and looters! Corporations are falling all over themselves to praise the protests and even the riots based on race politics. They are also pouring millions in cash into "social justice" groups. We're supposed to declare martial law and bring in the military to defend the property of companies that are vocal in their solidarity with the looters? What kind of idiocy is that? Just let them be looted if they are going to double-down on this hard-left madness.
If this current trend continues it would not surprise me at all if George Floyd becomes a forgotten footnote in the riots that were started in his name. If certain elites get their way, Americans will continue to riot without even knowing why, and those riots will never be aimed at the people that actually deserve it. In the meantime, the establishment wants at least one side of the political spectrum, at least one half of the population, to support totalitarian measures, and they are clearly targeting conservatives with fear tactics in order to get us on board.

I agree. It is sad to see where we are heading. Sad also that there are so few wise men like Brandon. Under 1 % of all the people understands what is happening.
written by awed bawl , June 03, 2020
[posted zero hedge]
The following was produced by the Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network during an exercise called scenario planning through which they create narratives about the future. "Scenario planning allows us to achieve impact more effectively".
The scenario was called LOCK STEP. It was written in May 2010.
In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit. Unlike 2009’s H1N1, this new influenza strain originating from wild geese was extremely virulent and deadly. Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months, the majority of them healthy young adults.
The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.The pandemic blanketed the planet though disproportionate numbers died in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central America, where the virus spread like wildfire in the absence of official containment protocols. But even in developed countries, containment was a challenge. The United States’s initial policy of strongly discouraging citizens from flying proved deadly in its leniency, accelerating the spread of the virus not just within the U.S. but across borders.
However, a few countries did fare better China in particular. The Chinese government’s quick imposition and enforcement of mandatory quarantine for all citizens, as well as its instant and near-hermetic sealing off of all borders, saved millions of lives, stopping the spread of the virus far earlier than in other countries and enabling a swifter post-pandemic recovery.
China’s government was not the only one that took extreme measures to protect its citizens from risk and exposure. During the pandemic, national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified. In order to protect themselves from the spread of increasingly global problems from pandemics and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising poverty leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power.
At first, the notion of a more controlled world gained wide acceptance and approval. Citizens willingly gave up some of their sovereignty and their privacy to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater safety and stability. Citizens were more tolerant, and even eager, for top-down direction and oversight, and national leaders had more latitude to impose order in the ways they saw fit.
In developed countries, this heightened oversight took many forms: biometric IDs for all citizens, for example, and tighter regulation of key industries whose stability was deemed vital to national interests.
In many developed countries, enforced cooperation with a suite of new regulations and agreements slowly but steadily restored both order and, importantly, economic growth.

When the actors behind these riots are not arrested, and instead an expensive and unnecessary troop deployment is considered, then one knows something is wrong. Governors and Mayors, sworn to uphold the constitution, the rule of law and protect property and lives are allowing all this to happen and they do not get arrested. George Soros, always behind every evil deed never gets arrested. l Why? Because all is a farce and a setup. Why didn't social media shut down? Or cause all cell phones in that area to go dead? Why did the cops stand down? Why let the looting take place? They are setting up all the pieces for their checkmate and the ignorant citizens not only are letting it happen, they are asking for it. Brandon, you are 100% correct. Thank you for sharing your perspicacity.

As in the Old Testament, peace, health, and a sound economy has been taken from our land. Why you ask? Nations, such as ours, who once honored it’s covenant with a Holy God, has turned it’s back on Him... we say we no longer need Him, His guidance, or protection. Fine then... we’re on our own. It didn’t work out well for ancient Israel and it won’t work so well for us. We’ve sown the wind, now we’ll reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). National revival and a humbling of the people is the only way out of this.

I support patriots defending their own towns, if the police are only there to watch then they can referee. Antifa & BLM are becoming bolder and it's just a matter of time before they start shooting white people indiscriminately to stoke terror.

It's amazing how the police have the authority and engage in all sorts of violence on a daily basis for trivial matters but in times such as these hardly do anything at all.
It's also amazing how Trump was hired to hunt down and destroy the deep state but has done hardly anything at all. He promised sworn tyrants at the national level would be locked up and then turned around and said they are nice people and have been through enough. With the full power of the presidency and the mandate of the people behind him he says he can't do anything. Now he is all too excited to unleash the military on our streets. All this could be avoided with real reforms to police powers and if only Trump would truly go after the deep state but day after day, year after year his charade continues.
written by Missouri , June 03, 2020
Brandon, another great call you made about the troops potentially having cv19. I read an article at zerohedge already stating that some of them have it. I believe the narrative to some extent will be pivoted to claim that even the troops can't be used to quell the riots. At least initially. That way the riots continue for sure indefinitely and the people will be begging for them. Once troops are on our streets I believe it will be a very, very long time before they are removed. Another thing people should keep in mind is that like the movie Platoon the soldiers devolve into their split factions of good ones and not so good ones.

They will redirect the rage, cause confusion, and get the libs blaming the Trump crowd and the Trump crowd blaming the libs and they will fight and then we have an excuse for martial law.

The establishment works in favor of psychopaths, not white people.
Because these fearless (incapable of fear) moral morons succesfully infiltrated and took over all key positions of power and control (within government) undermining undetected the separation of the 3 state powers (trias politica) and thus the fundamentals of democracy.
Ever heard of a "democratic serial killer" (who gives his victims the right to vote if they want to be murdered by him or not)?
No.....: Psychopaths are born disastrous defective, resulting in gruesome things, acting human (a mere 'mask of sanity' ...yet very convincing to most people), but *without* conscience, pure evil and (therefore) fundamentally ANTI-Democratic/-humane/-social.
They recognise each other (their aberration) and "work together" to do greater harm.
Here you find some information, but this will not at all guarantee you to identify them *in time* = before harm is done.
http://www.ponerology.com/evil_2b.html
Therefore we need to apply a modern psychopathy test to all who are in- or crave for positions of power and control (to begin with) in government.

First cash had COVID plague on it, and now this!
People are blowing up, or just taking, ATMs in Philadelphia
https://apnews.com/85cb6fefa3753be8389225d951479165
"Police earlier urged businesses that host the machines to remove cash to discourage further thefts, one of which resulted in the death of a 24-year-old man hours after he tried to break into an ATM early Tuesday, authorities said. 'It’s not worth it,' Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. 'It’s not worth the injuries that we’re seeing associated with this, and it’s not worth the risk to the community and the danger that it’s been imposing.'"
Other reports say the suspect was shot before blowing himself up while using explosives to commit burglary, but we'll just put down Cause of Death = "Cash".

@FahQ I'm guessing your post will be moderated out, but it's worth saying that REVOLUTION IS THE SPECIALTY OF THE ENEMY. They have been inciting revolutions and overthrowing governments for hundreds of years. There's a reason you'll find "revolution" pervading and glorifying pop songs, popular culture, movies, and other media. It is exactly what they want, and are trying to incite right now.
A perfect example was mentioned last week in the comments, V for Vendetta. While it does have some redeeming plot lines and dialogue, it is at it's core a predictive programming story of a communist revolution. The rose is the international symbol of communism, and pervades the picture. The people are portrayed as dumb reactionary sheep that don't think for themselves and do exactly what V has planned for them. A large array of dominos is used to depict V's perfect plan, a vision befitting of a narcissistic sociopath. His plan instigates a response of martial law from the "fascist" government, which was exactly Brandon's point in this article. In contrast to the common people, V (as in the 5th root race if you want to get into the symbolism), is an urbane and sophisticated expert, secretly and benevolently guiding the people along behind the scenes. He is no stranger to moral relativism, kidnapping and torturing his only friend Eve to teach her something "there was no other way". The movie ends with the people, who have done nothing themselves except get frustrated and attend a protest, passively accepting the new government in a large crowd. The analogies to the "ignorant children" Brandon described should be obvious.
You say all that's needed is "1) A clear & concrete goal" Well first, they're ahead on that, their goals are pretty clear. They even have alternate constitutions ready, like the Constitution for the New States of America. Revolution means tossing out the current government. How long would it take a bunch of independent and liberty minded people to agree on a goal for a new form of government? Decades? And then we still have to fight and defeat the globalists? Great plan.
What we need is not a revolution but a RESTORATION of Constitutional Government. The constitution already exists, and is a framework compatible with the non-aggression principal once demonstrable examples of fraud like the 16th Amendment are removed.
Step 1: Brandon's scalpel. Step 2: Restore Constitutional Government.

I was wondering when our CIA (USA State Department) tactics used in Hong Kong last year would come to USA
It's seems from this ZH article that they have arrived,
Article says the protestors have medics, insurance, lawyers, and of course molotov supplys and matches and gasoline.
Just like we did in HK, now it comes to USA, I wonder if Pelosi and Trump will call this 'Beautiful Democracy"
It's amazing how 'Chickens are coming home to roost" at an accelerated rate.
Like the commenter say's above, they politicians have done nothing, Trump didn't stop the deep-state, in fact he doesn't even see it, and of course DEM Party just Works with the PUG Party to push the total slavery agenda.
Lastly, the world is not coming to an end, just like HK, now under new management. I frequently travel to HK, Macau, and China; I can tell you now that Macau, and the China territory to the West, are cleaner, more modern, and more fun than HK. HK is a sewer these days, nobody has invested a nickel in that place for years.
Just look at the stock-market in USA, its totally ignoring the "Purge" taking place in the USA.
Like everybody say's here this is only about local-control versus federal control of local policing. Given that local gov is broke, and federal can create infinite cash, this transistion is going to take place whether we have a "Purge" or not.
What I'm waiting for is the Kissinger prediction long ago, about the USA people "Begging UN to send blue-helmets to the USA to police", given the lack of trust of USA cop's, this is clearly the agenda.

Brandon, I carefully read your article.
I really think this will end like HK; Same playbook, where in HK the enemy is 'China', in USA the enemy is Trump.
The HK riots while tactics and methods were ran by CIA-DOS ( Dept of State - USA ), the funding came from local real estate billionaires ( & Media tycoons ), whose agenda was to open up HK wetlands for development, and they got it.
Once the weekly ATM card 'paydays' were frozen, and the protestors quit getting 'paid' to protest the protests fizzled out in days.
We're hearing that ATM's are going to be closed in riot areas, maybe this is good, once nobody can get cash to buy food with their 'Soros ATM Card", then they'll go home.
Our USA Gov knows who is funding the riots, Trump has declared "Anti-Fa" a domestic terrorist, where there is no such thing as "Anti-Fa-Inc", many of these people have been arrested, and like Hong-Kong, they will squeal and tell all to the cops, so the Gov will determine funding and freeze all accounts.
While lots of people will die, on the grand scale of things, this will be just another 'Rodney King" scenario, as the stock-market has clearly already told us that situation is normal. Even Trump for all his rhetoric, has not unleashed the dogs, as we're not seeing any "Kent State" massacre, or for that matter "Bonus Boys" where 100's of WW1 soldiers were murdered by machine-guns and tanks on the whitehouse lawn. Greater murders have happened in the past, and they're not even taught.
Lastly, the 1918-flu was delivered by US-MIL troops worldwide, and certainly the troops ( national guard ) will become infected, and be the vector for the 'second wave', but again population reduction has always been the "Rockefeller Plan" ( Deagle Report ) going back to the 1950's
All these "Anti-Fa" Baby's will become infected in their warehousing ( jail ), not unlike the trenches of WW1, where the pandemic was the worst ( 1918-flu ), thus in a way Trump could actually wipe out the entire anti-fa contingency, and their familys, and supporters.
I'm not condoning any of this, just calling it as I see it, and for all to know, I was a kid during the Watt's Riot's, and I was there and saw it first hand. There is nothing new here, and the USA always comes back stronger.
written by David Lawn , June 04, 2020
Hi Brandon: I see two things that seem to me to be simplifications in what is being said and that bothers me because it goes away from the whole truth. And we need the whole truth.
First the idea that psychopaths are born that way - my study has shown they are tortured as children and no longer know it. That means they might get a kick out of torturing others, even collecting adrenochrome and drinking babies blood - babies are currency. And to keep that setup alive they will do anything. They are controllable because they dont know what was done to them. Have you read Svali's pdf in deprogramwiki.com?
Second it may be true that Trump was "bailed out" by the "elites" but looking at CTN videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdTWVZJctDux-358B6M-UNg/videos and https://www.brighteon.com/3f139f53-50b5-4a7a-a535-45ac3ae6046b it seems that the president has done more to help the tortured children than any other president. The support he has is not "elites" it is military, people sick of the sick world.
My private feeling is that the evil is so established, without our repentance to Jesus, that this is now the end of time. I do support POTUS/Q/JFKJr believing they are fighting with God and a part of the end of time. It would be "nice" if they might win and things "get back to normal" but I prefer above all that Jesus might come to His harvest, even if I be just chaff ...
Best wishes

Brandon I needed this bit of insight from you more than ever before. I'm one of those readers who concluded that these protests/riots/lootings would ultimately require a heavy hand to control. Meaning ultimately martial law. I saw this as a protection of private property rights. After reading this article I had to take a step back, remove the emotion, and just take a breath. And I know there are many others feeling exactly the same emotional response because we value our property and the rule of law. Hopefully our president will take a breath but ultimately I think it's been planned and drag conservatives down with him.

Hey Brandon, I've been reading your work for years now and like always you are on point with everything you have stated, especially the problem of allowing the pathology of psychopathy to permeate through positions of power, which inherently makes the institutions which they represent parasitic and corrupted.
I would encourage you to read about a supposedly defunct CIA program called Operation Gladio that I believe still exist today and underlies the various color revolutions we have seen globally (Ukraine, Syria, and Venezuela being the most common examples) this past decade. It was also help explain some of the activities of this supposed Antifa group as well as BLM and other supposedly independent political groups

How can sociopaths be systematically weeded out from existing positions of power and other sociopaths prevented from obtaining power? Are there effective tests?

Brandon, what do you make of this "military coup" from Mattis, Esper and John Kelly? Esper just ordered the national guard to not carry guns one day ahead of the expected large protest this weekend. Esper supposedly ordered the military out of DC without Trumps knowledge the other day. What gives? Always value your take. Thanks.
