Scenes From a Crackdown

- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
But a number of disturbing images, videos, and witness accounts have come out of Pittsburgh, as well as from similar high-stakes political events in recent years, that reveal the disquieting ease with which authorities are willing to crush dissent—and at the very sorts of events where the right to dissent is the entire purpose of protecting free speech. That is, events where influential policymakers meet to make high-level decisions with far-reaching consequences.
On the Friday afternoon before the G20 kicked into high gear, a student at the University of Pittsburgh sent me this photo, which he says he snapped on his way back from class.

If Alex Jones told you the Germans, dressed in Polish uniforms, attacked themselves at the Gleiwitz radio station to start WW II, he is lying. Judea declared war against Germany already on 24 March 1933.
Any document Alex Jones has is a piece of propaganda. Beware!

Looks like White people are now under military occupation just like they put Red people under occupation and decimated 95% of their population. The U.S. government is an illegitimate, genocidal, terrorist organization with no right to rule over anyone. U.S. cops and troops are terrorists, as well as any other gun-toting government agent. U.S. laws protect U.S. war criminals, and U.S. borders are fraudulent as the U.S. is built ENTIRELY on land stolen from indigenous people through genocide. The U.S. doesn’t respect anyone else’s borders anyway. Time to see Uncle Sam for what it is– a pig system, founded by racist pigs, gorging itself on stolen land, stolen resources, and stolen labor. Of course capitalist pigs need more and more “security” to protect their stolen assets– hence martial law and total surveillance. Time to dismantle the U.S. once and for all!

I can’t think of a religion (including atheists/agnostics), country, or large cultural movement that hasn’t had a violent streak somewhere in their history. Yet, people always suggest “religion” is the root of all evil. As if there was some kind of Pagan utopia before Abraham.
Terce Reply:
October 6th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Violence is part of human nature. Religion is simply a justification. However, to diminish the centuries of atrocious violence that marked the history of Christendom by casually comparing it to other “violent streaks” is a bit retarded. The simple fact is that the Christians of pagan Rome, in spite of their constant persecution, turned right around and continued the violence against those who did not share their beliefs. Feeding Christian martyrs to angry lions in the Coliseum paled in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of pagans brutally executed by Christian authorities, not to mention the volumes of ancient literature they burned or rewrote. Not satisfied with simply persecuting those who were not Christian, Christendom declared war upon itself, burning people alive over slow fires for simple doctrinal differences in belief. They created the fucking Inquisition for Christ’s sake, an institution that beyond anything else forced people to inform and snitch on their neighbors, usually by lying, and of course is well known for the grotesque and cruel tortures its inquisitors upon innocent people. It first appeared in the 13th century, to eliminate the Cathars, who were known in Languedoc as Good Christians. The Crusade declared against these Cathars, by Pope Innocent III, resulted not only in the annexation of what is now Southern France, illegally, by Northern barons and eventually the King of France himself, but brought us such wonderful moments in history as 300+ people being burned alive in one large bonfire. The fact is, for all of the barbarism caused by roving hordes of pagans (who discovered most of the scientific knowledge now credited to Christian academics and societies), the horror stories that have been passed down from Christendom make monsters like Ghengis Khan look like puppy dogs.

Terce, instead of reciting the shopworn litany of evil deeds attributed to Christianity, how about the many acts of charity and compassion that ordinary followers of Jesus have done? Those who used Christianity to cover and/or justify their atrocities were NOT Christians! The Gospel of Jesus Christ was perverted to facilitate political ends. And if you think that persecution of Christians went out with imperial Roman games, you are sadly misinformed. Do a web search and you’ll find out that violence against Christians is rampant today. Merely attending church in some countries can land you in prison or worse.

If you think that talking wins the battle your crazy the Jew’s did that very same thing with Hitler look where it got them death camps. So you go and try to talk these people in to fighting with words. The time for words is over, we can sit hear and talk or do some thing about it and wining will lets be honest that’s not very likely I wish it was but it is to far gone. All we can do is die free or live and see them take what freedom we have left. You want change you will have to fight for it, but no this they are not giving it up with out a fight. So now the truth is right in front of you what will you do?

Some of us don’t have such a bleak outlook. Violence creates more violence. You stop being violent to stop the violence. You can talk all you want but do you seriously think you can handle blowing someone’s brains out? We can still hope that it doesn’t come to that and try to keep it from happening. I don’t want to become my enemy.

You are a false witness…
Luke 22:
49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

First of all His name is not jesus, it is Yahshua. The letter J is only 500 years old, and not found at all in the Hebrew alphabet. So that means 2000 years ago when he walked, he was called by his Hebrew name, Yahshua and the father is Yahway. “God” is a title not a name. Look up the sacred names, you have been lied to, again. BTW the names have nothing to do with the Jews. We get the word alphabet from the oldest language in the world, Hebrew, the first letter in Hebrew is called “Aleph”, and the second is “Bet”. There is interesting history in what I have told you here, but don’t take my word for it, do your own research.

Never said He was not our God, just told you that god is a title and jesus is not his name, it is a “translated” name. Well names do not get translated, if you went to a different country do you want them to call you by your mother given name, or something they translate it into that you do not understand? I know that He was against the Jews, never said he was not, just said that the sacred names have nothing to do with the Jews, because they still use the names…so does a lot of the Bibles in the index, do the research…don’t fly off the handle so fast next time and yes END THE FED!!!

Yoshua wasnt against all Jews was he? It was just the fake Jews in high-places that cozied up to the Roman occupiers and those that neglected the Laws. It is written that he did desire to do away with the Laws of Moses.
After Alexander invaded the region ( before Rome ) it was the in-thing, hip, cool to be Hellenistically inspired and the Jews also succombed to this new ‘free-thinking’ type of approach to life. This type of influence from the Greeks was still in the region. Alexandria in Egypt had a heavy Jew population and the term ’synagogue’ is Greek.
By the way, in Arabic…aleef is A and bay is the ‘b’ sound.

By the way religion is man made, no where in the Scriptures does He tell you what religion to be. He simply says he wants a relationship with you. And the Scriptures are His word, not jesus, you can’t read a jesus like you can a Bible. roaddog6 did you forget the founding fathers were close to the Father too?

If you want to settle all debate on whether or not Christians should arm themselves against tyranny, then you should read a book called…
“Neither to Laugh Nor to Weep” by Ibrahim Hartunian.
He survived through the genocide of the early 1900s when the nation of Turkey and its muslim population decided to eradicate all Christians in Armenia. (Approx. 2 million were murdered)
But then again, if you just want to carp, bitch, misquote the Bible and sound uneducated, then by all means, continue.

The U.S. and Israel are both settler states– that is to say, they are countries built on OTHER PEOPLE’S LAND. The Native Americans did nothing to deserve the genocide they suffered at the hands of the European, and later, Amerikkkan invaders, just as the Palestinian people did nothing to the Jews in WWII, but are now suffering at the hands of Israel. Both the U.S. and Israeli governments are entirely criminal and thus ILLEGITIMATE. The U.S. and Israel are both in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and international laws. U.S. presidents such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson owned slaves and committed genocide against Native American men, women, and children, while more recent presidents such as Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama slaughter Middle Eastern men, women, and children. And multinational corporations operate Third World sweatshops, the “new” slavery. Time to completely dismantle the U.S., Israel, and other imperialist governments!

We are not in a debate about the form of government that we we want in this country. The decision has been made by a gang of thugs and they intend to implement that form which is communism. There will be no restoring the constitutional republic without conflict because we have allowed the liars, cheats, whore mongers, thieves, and even murderers to be elected into positions of power. They will never relinquish power without conflict. We as a people made a conscious decision to wink at the criminality of our elected officials for meager handouts of crumbs. We are now paying the price for our willingness to compromise honesty for our perceived gain.

“Police clashed with anti-globalization protesters” Anti Globalization citizens have protected Free Speech also. Globalization, promoted by many upper level Republicans and Democrats and the NWO threatens our sovereignty and Constitutional Freedoms. Pittsburgh Mayor Ravenstahl is up for re-election in five weeks. His Police state tactics in support of the G20 planners of World Government and against protesting citizens of the United States, demonstrates the urgent need to work tirelessly to remove Mayor Ravenstahl from office.

Liberals can do no wrong according to our media. Look at the facts. Criminals caught on tape setting up child prostitution and teaching how to get around laws etc yet the reporters are being prosecuted??? Black panthers at voting booths with weapons yet we do not prosecute??? David Letterman having affairs, sex, yet Stanford is drug thru the coals.
