New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter was arrested at a Manhattan protest on Saturday night, law enforcement sources told The Post on Sunday.
Chiara de Blasio, 25, was taken into custody around 10:30 p.m. after cops declared an unlawful assembly at 12th Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, the sources said.
She had allegedly been blocking traffic on Broadway and was arrested after refusing to move, the source said.
“That was a real hotspot, police cars were getting burned there, people were throwing and yelling, fighting with cops. There were thousands of people in that area at that time,” the source said.
Chiara gave a residence on East End Avenue as her address — otherwise known as Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s Upper East Side home. But she didn’t tell cops she was the mayor’s daughter.
The arrest came about an hour before Hizzoner told protesters it was time to “go home.”
“We appreciate and respect all peaceful protests, but now it is time for people to go home,” de Blasio said at a press conference at 11:30 p.m. at the NYC Emergency Management headquarters in Downtown Brooklyn.
“If you went out peacefully to make a point about the need for change, you have been heard and change is coming in the city. I have no doubt about that. It’s time to go home so we can all move forward.”
On Sunday, the mayor declared that anarchist agitators with an “explicit agenda of violence” have co-opted police-brutality protests for destruction.
“It is a small number of people. It is well organized, even though many of the people are associated with the anarchist movement,” de Blasio said in a City Hall press briefing of the outside opportunists he blamed for the now-nationwide demonstrations devolving into chaos.
“Some come from outside of the cities. Some are from inside the city. Some are from the neighborhoods where the protests take place. Some are not,” he continued, without detailing where the interlopers were from.

City Hall didn’t immediately comment on her arrest. (source)

shoebat--2020-06-01--Shoebat.com Observation Comes True, Brick Piles Are Appearing In Major Riot Locations Mysteriously T

Shoebat.com Observation Comes True, Brick Piles Are Appearing In Major Riot Locations Mysteriously Throughout The Nation

Two days ago , I observed in an article asking questions about the Minneapolis and now nationwide riots that a pile of bricks mysteriously appeared not near a construction site , nor with a construction site nearby , but right in the middle of where a riot was taking place .
I said that such was a very strange thing and is another piece of evidence suggesting that the current “ protests ” are not largely organic , but rather intentionally coordinated demonstrations between government and contract groups .
Think the 2015 refugee crisis and the collaboration between government and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inside the US and with riots instead of moving people .
Unfortunately , it appears that this observation has more merit than it seems , for Zero Hedge has reported that it is not only that location , but locations all throughout the country this is happening in , for where riots are happening , so are these “ brick piles ” appearing out of nothing , as evidenced by numerous twitter posts .
As one who has worked in the trucking industry and who has been involved at times in moving loads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of it are NOT easy .
Bricks are classed as ( without using technical language ) a very heavy item that involves a lot of safety precautions .
Even one pallet of bricks such as this does not move on its own or easily .
One needs at the very least a strong forklift to deliver it , and there is no way to do it descreetly .
These brick pallets did not get there by accident , and this was not some chump operation .
This had to have been highly organized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , both to move the bricks to the right location , and then to unload them .
People who focus on a racial or even a “ police vs. citizenry ” type perspective are missing the larger scenario of events that is taking place .
What it appears here is that one is witnessing a strategy of tension coordinated by government with business working together to stir up public angst and then to appear to use that angst as a lever for social control .

So who's donating the pallets of bricks to these riot ravaged areas? Surely there's surveillance footage, and surely they arent being brought in by hand. Start checking camera footage, run license plates. pic.twitter.com/QFHgwHVz0f — Jerome Russell (@JeromeRussell5) May 31, 2020

shoebat--2020-06-02--Was NBC Reporter Jo Ling Kent Attacked With A Firework, Or A Military-Grade Police Weapon?

Journalists have been coming under more attack than ever in the US .
First it was the left-right division , then Trump worsened it with his use of the “ enemdia ” or “ lying media ” language , which has a direct parallel with Hitler ’ s use of the term “ Lügenpresse ” ( “ lying press ” ) , and the the most recent series of events with protests , what appears to be the use of physical violence against reporters .
A video is going around right now showing a reporter from NBC , Jo Ling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explosive device .
MSNBC originally said it was a flashbang grenade , but one hour later changed it to a firework .
So the question is , which one was it ?
A flashbang or a firework ?
This is a serious question , and an important one considering the abuse of journalists that has been taking place in the US , as there are potentially serious consequences .
What does a flashbang grenade look like when it goes off ?
One can see police videos and compilations below .
We can also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , of “ less lethal ” flashbang grenades .
This would be potentially similar to those used maybe by police like rubber bullets or “ beanbag ” rounds .
The Military Times profiled the use of “ civilian ” qualified flashbang grenades , which are at a much lower power rating than those used by the miliitary , but notes that they are very expensive and difficult to obtain Now let ’ s review the original video , taking close note of :45 , where you can see what appears to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before it explodes .
Fireworks generally do not look like little white bottles .
When they are fired in protests , they are usually Roman candles .
Likewise , other fireworks would shoot off sparks continually as it burns , not just “ pop ” into a puff of smoke with nothing else to offer- remembering that fireworks are for shows and entertainment , not being fired at people .
Consider how fireworks were used in protests in Atlanta last night for the same end .
Or this one , in Beirut from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difference in these videos from those of the flashbang .
The fireworks burn for a while , but the flashbangs go off in a giant bang and puff of smoke and a flash of sparks .
The latter is what seems to have it Jo Ling Kent .
I looked around online for various flashbangs , and it did not take me much time to find a company , Lamperd Less Lethal , which sells “ less than lethal ” flashbang grenades for police that can be thrown directly at people without hurting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from his website below and read his page here explaining his products .
Note also the shape of the flashbangs he sells- they are small , whitish , canister type tools that bear a semblance to that which was thrown at Jo Ling Kent .
Compare the photos .
Now I am not saying the two are the same product per se absolutely .
However , there seems to be a clear semblance in shape , size , and color , and when one looks at the video of a “ less than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flashbang exploding , and when one compares this to a firework and to what kind of device hit Jo Ling Kent , it is very clear that the device bears a striking semblance in all forms to a “ less than lethal ” type anti-personnel flashbang grenade .
Since flashbang grenades , even the “ less than lethal ” ones are expensive and highly difficult to acquire , while it is possible , it is less likely that the person who threw said grenade was a mere “ protester ” , for while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bricks and heard about stories of bottles filled with gasoline , there have been so far as we can tell no reports of rioters throwing flashbang type grenades .
By contrast , such military anti-personnel weapons are commonly used by the American military and even local police departments for any number of reasons .
While one can not definitively say what happened , the circumstances clearly suggest that this reporter was indeed attacked by a flashbang grenade that was likely thrown by a police officer .
If this is truly what happened- and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observations are happily welcome -then one should be very concerned for the state of the nation .
In less than twenty years since the “ Patriot Act ” introduced in 2001 , police has been transformed not merely into “ law enforcement officers ” , but an extension of the military that uses military-type weapons- the same kinds used in war zones -on people and are now throwing these things at reporters .
Does one believe that such reporters were merely attacked by accident at these riots without being open to the consideration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to happen , but one has to ask , in light of the very hostile attitudes towards the free press , media , and reporting that has only been encouraged by the no less and objectively Hitlerian language employed by Trump as it concerns the press , if there is more than work at here than just mere accidents , coincidences , or failures in good judgement .
It is food for thought , and dangerous food at that because the consequences of such actions suggest an increase in tyranny and the justification @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questionable reasons .
For all of the talk about “ free press ” and dictatorial behavior that is commonly leveled against other nations , while serious and important to discuss , one may also want to consider the possibility that one could become the very thing that one hates or claims to hate , intentionally or not , and then fail to realize it only before it is too late to change it .

shoebat--2020-06-02--Trump Congratulates Himself For “Overwhelming Force” And “Domination” Ordered By Him Against Protest

Trump Congratulates Himself For “Overwhelming Force” And “Domination” Ordered By Him Against Protesters

Phrases like “ overwhelming force ” and “ domination ” used together congratulating themselves on this seem to be people with a sick mind inclined to delusions of grandeur , people who are sadistic and enjoy hurting others , or the description to some disgusting pornographic film .
They are not used together , generally speaking , by healthy people of sound mind and constitution .
Yet these are the exact words that President Trump used in a Tweet , which Business Insider reports , was about his own personal handling of protesters in DC .
President Donald Trump said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had no problems last night.
” He went on to congratulate himself for law enforcement officials cracking down on protesters demonstrating against racism .
“ Many arrests , ” Trump tweeted .
“ Great job done by all .
Overhwhelming force .
Domination .
Likewise , Minneapolis was great ( thank you President Trump ! )
.
” Tuesday marks the eighth day of nationwide protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd , a 46-year-old black man who was killed in Minneapolis last week while pleading with a white police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes .
Peaceful demonstrations have taken place in more than 75 cities , though some have spiraled into chaos and deadly violence as law enforcement officials use heavy-handed crowd control tactics .
On Monday evening , riot police and National Guard troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters outside the White House gates in Washington , DC , while Trump delivered remarks in the Rose Garden saying he was “ an ally to all peaceful protesters.
” an at 7 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bowser expressed anger at Trump ’ s decision , telling CNN that she and other city officials were “ very shocked , and quite frankly outraged , that people who were not violating the curfew and who did not seem to have provoked attack were attacked and moved out by federal law enforcement officials to clear the way for the president.
” ( source ) There are two sides to the protests- an organic one , and a non-organic one .
The organic side- the legitimate anger that many have about the death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what one thinks of him , there are many people who want to protest for a matter of principle -is not so much a problem .
Rather , what seems to be the majority of problems are people from a “ non-organic side ” - the legitimate and persistent , evidence-based allegations of paid protesters and agent provocateurs from police to mysterious brick drops in the center of rioting areas -seem to be the major problem with a lot of the rioting and problems .
I have noted there is strong suspicion that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to justify a militaristic approach to protesters- exactly what Trump is talking about with tweets of “ domination ” and “ overwhelming force ” .
What Trump is doing is not per se becoming a dictator himself .
However , more dangerously he is implementing the steps to allow for dictatorial behavior in the future by setting a precedent for future presidents to follow .
This is not so much about him , but rather about a principle that can indefinitely continue into the future .
What does this mean for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not rioting , but normal disagreements ?
Will there be a brutal show of force in the name of “ security ” used as common practice , and will terms such as “ domination ” be used against people with disagreements .
To hell with Trump ’ s MAGA fraud , and I do not say this as anything blasphemous , but as a literal truth , for his actions are mutating and mutilating the country ’ s laws and procedures in a sick game of “ carrot-and-sick ” in the name of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation into hell , and given all that he has been entrusted with and his completely lack of regard for his behavior and the effects it has on real people and for the future , Trump is at grave risk of driving his own soul to the exact same destination .
If there is something he should set his eyes on dominating , it should have been in fulfilling his promises made and for which the people voted for him , not to behave like a pseudo-dictator while paving the way for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now to help support the work of this site .

If there is something he should set his eyes on dominating, it should have been in fulfilling his promises made and for which the people voted for him, not to behave like a pseudo-dictator while paving the way for a real dictatorship in the future.

A man in Omaha, Nebraska, shot and killed a rioter who attacked him and his business, as we read in a report from Omaha.com:
A handful of grainy and graphic videos led Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine to conclude that a white bar owner acted in self-defense when he shot and killed a 22-year-old black Omaha man Saturday night.
As a result, Jake Gardner, owner of the side-by-side Gatsby and Hive bars downtown, will not face charges in the death of James Scurlock.
A surveillance video from Gardner’s bars, played Monday at a press conference, shows a group of young people, including Scurlock, approaching Gardner.
Walking backward, Gardner lifts his shirt to show a handgun, then pulls it to his side and continues backing up. Two people from Scurlock’s group — a man and a woman — tackle Gardner, who ends up on his back in a puddle in the street.
He fires twice into the air — he characterized them as warning shots in an interview with Omaha police. The two people run away from him.
Four seconds after that, Scurlock rushes from the sidewalk and dives on Gardner. Kleine said Scurlock was on Gardner’s back and had his arm around the bar owner’s neck. Gardner could be heard on another bystander’s video hollering, “Get off me, get off me.”
His right arm pinned, Kleine said, Gardner switched the gun to his left hand and fired over his shoulder. The bullet hit Scurlock in the shoulder-neck area, killing him.
Under Nebraska law, a person can be justified in killing another if he has a reasonable belief that deadly force is needed to protect himself or others. People are not allowed to use deadly force to protect property.

The situation around George Floyd just got itself a new dimension after an independent autopsy has concluded that the his death was “caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain.” As we read in a report from MPR News:
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner late Monday described George Floyd’s death as a homicide, saying he went into cardiopulmonary arrest as a Minneapolis police officer kept his knee on the neck of the prone, handcuffed man. The office also identified “hypertensive heart disease,” “fentanyl intoxication” and “recent methamphetamine use” as other “significant conditions.” The medical examiner’s office preliminary report last week said that the combined effects of being restrained, potential intoxicants in Floyd’s system and his underlying health issues, including heart disease, likely contributed to his death. Floyd, a black man, died after the white officer ignored bystander shouts to get off him and Floyd’s cries that he couldn’t breathe. His killing, captured on citizen video, sparked days of protests in Minneapolis that have spread to cities around America. The officer who held his knee on Floyd’s neck, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter and is in custody in a state prison. The other three officers on scene, like Chauvin, were fired the day after the incident but have not been charged.
According to the autopsy done by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office Floyd died of “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression.” While the Hennepin County autopsy stated that Floyd’s death was a homicide, the office noted that “is not a legal determination of culpability or intent.”
Those who will be leaning more on the side of the officer are going to argue that Floyd’s was on drugs and that the officer had to do what was necessary to control him; those who are sympathetic to Floyd are going to argue that officer Chauvin’s actions caused his death and they will reference both autopsies, since the first concluded that the cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest and the second that it was essentially a blood choke. They will argue that regardless of which autopsy you look at, it was Chauvin’s actions that led to or triggered Floyd’s death. This new installment of information is only going to muddy the waters, giving arguments to both sides in this tension between the Right and the Left.

Pornography is a huge problem in the US, and while there are many reasons that one can guess why this may be so, it is likely related to stress. Basically, it is a substitute for cocaine or heroin, since a lot of people are frustrated, tired, and use it to “relax” since many lead miserable, unhappy lives.
However, could the stress level of Americans be too high? A recent study reported on by Zero Hedge notes this, as it found that 37% of Americans would give up porn usage for a peaceful rest.
Perhaps the most widely-discussed psychological phenomenon of the coronavirus crisis is the stress and lack of sleep that have led to, among other consequences, a surfeit of suicides. Millions of Americans have also self-reported experiencing vivid “stress dreams”. Among them is host of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Joe Kernan. As brands and marketing strategists parse what this means for consumer attitudes, one recent survey answered by 1,000 American adults during the month of May, more than a month into the lockdown, found that products claiming to help with sleep might soon experience a mini-boom, as millions of Americans struggle to develop the discipline often required to successfully work from home. The study mentioned above asked respondents what they would give up for a year of good sleep; some of the answers might surprise you. For example…the survey by SleepStandards found: 37% of Americans would give up sex or porn
41% of Americans would give up social media
40% of Americans would give up alcohol and smoking
39% would give up video games
26% would give up steaming services such as Netflix or Hulu
21.5% would become a vegetarian for a year
Some key findings from the survey: the premium Americans would be willing to pay for a perfect night’s sleep has risen. (source)
Now the study does not say for how long or other important details that said items would be given up. However, the general idea reflects the principle that today most Americans are overstressed, tired, and find it increasingly difficult to function in society.
This is the human cost of the breakdown. Often times one will speak about finances and the financial cost, but there is also a human side, and in this case it is how the people are breaking apart more so than what they already are.
Most people simply want to live their lives, pay their bills, and do what is socially good and appropriate, but the fact is they are being prevented from doing so because the standards being required of them to function are so high that it takes all their energy, meanwhile a very elite class of people essentially profit from doing nothing and continue the exploitation.
Such a continual paradigm cannot end well, for this how social unrest is generated and societies all apart.

Twitter Account Called “Antifa_US” Pushes For People To Attack Rich White Suburbs. Now It Turns Out That That The Account Was Being Ran By Right-Wing Racists Trying To Incite Conservative Rage

A few days ago , there was a tweet going around from an account called “ Antifa_US ” , calling for the looting of white suburbs .
The post read : “ Tonight… we move into the residential areas… the white hoods… .
and we take what ’ s ours.
” A lot of people were passing this post around with concern and consternation ; apparently the comment was sparking outrage and demonstrated a Left-wing conspiracy to murder conservatives .
When I first saw the post , which a friend had sent me , I immediately was suspicious , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of NATO countries ’ intelligence agencies conducting false flag attacks as a way to foment Right-wing nationalism as part of a strategy of tension .
This was Operation Gladio ( one of its numerous names ) .
It also entailed supporting and backing Right-wing groups as part of the Cold War These types of operations were done in Germany , Belgium , Italy , Turkey , Greece , etc .
Well , it turned out that that the “ Antifa_US ” account was ran by a Right-wing group called “ Identity Evropa , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reverence for “ Western civilization , ” Nietzschean philosophy and romantic ideas revolving around being White .
The group is , in fact , within the network of the European Identitarian movement .
As we read in a report from CBS : Twitter has shut down multiple accounts that it says were operated by a white supremacist group posing as liberal groups encouraging violence .
Twitter said the white supremacist group Identity Evropa used one fake account , @ Antifa_US , to call for violence in majority-white suburbs , in the name of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ account ’ s removal was first reported by NBC News .
Twitter said it has also targeted other fake accounts run by Identity Evropa , but did not provide examples .
There are numerous questions that I have regarding the riots and the inculcation of information being disseminating into the screens of American conservatives .
The looters and rioters are evil people , but we must be also be suspicious of the motives behind the exposing of Antifa .
Are they exposing Antifa because they really hate communism , but is there a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we see an account claiming to be Antifa calling for the looting of white suburbs , is this for real or is this being presented to provoke hysteria on the Right-wing side ?

Another example of this is Trump talking about delegating Antifa as a terrorist organization.

There have been a lot of suspicious events associated with the current series of riots and events .
I have discussed some of these , but many more continue to emerge .
One of these is a report from Zero Hedge which alleges , with some evidence directly from the NYPD , that the NYPD is using taxi cabs filled with undercover police that are arresting protesters .

One Twitter user responded to the video by saying : “ Cops in NYC pretending to be taxi drivers so they can trap protesters… I have never in my life seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as this….
, ” tweeted @ hisnameiselie .
While there are no official reports that NYPD uses undercover cabs , Motherboard filed several requests to the NYPD through the Freedom of Information Act to examine the issue more in-depth back in 2015 .
What they found is that NYPD operated a small fleet of these cars back then .

It is one thing to use unmarked cars- a common tool employed by police in all states -is different from presenting oneself as one thing when one is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a sign of dictatorial behavior .
Many have observed that under Trump , his COVID-19 bill officially brought about the union of corporate and state power by way of financial bailouts and government ownership , which is the definition of fascism .

In sparking tensions further with Greece, the government of Turkey just recently declared: “Hagia Sophia has been conquered and belongs to Turkey.” The Hagia Sofia is the most prized church in the Eastern Orthodox world, and one of the most central ecclesiastical monuments in Christianity’s history. Orthodox Christians see the Hagia Sofia as still a church, where currently it is technically an historical monument. But, Turkey wants to make it into an official mosque again. By Turkey making the Hagia Sofia into a mosque again, they will further exasperate Turkish-Greek tensions which are eventually going to implode into violence. As we read in a report from TVXS:
The barrage of propaganda rhetoric by Turkey continues, with the country’s Foreign Minister Mevlτt Çavuşoλουlu declaring that “Hagia Sophia has been conquered and belongs to Turkey.” He characteristically stated that “Hagia Sophia is the property of the Turkish Republic,” the Turkish minister said, adding: “It has been conquered.” In fact, he argued that Greece has no reason to talk about the Hagia Sophia and what Turkey will do with its territory.

A majority of Americans sympathize with nationwide protests over the death of an unarmed black man in police custody and disapprove of President Donald Trump’s response to the unrest, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
The demonstrations, some of which have turned violent, began last week after a Minneapolis police officer was videotaped kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for nearly nine minutes, even after Floyd appeared to lose consciousness. The officer has been charged with murder.
The survey conducted on Monday and Tuesday found 64% of American adults were “sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,” while 27% said they were not and 9% were unsure.
The poll underscored the political risks for Trump, who has adopted a hardline approach to the protests and threatened to deploy the U.S. military to quell violent dissent. The Republican president faces Democrat Joe Biden in November’s election.
More than 55% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the protests, including 40% who “strongly” disapproved, while just one-third said they approved – lower than his overall job approval of 39%, the poll showed.
A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Biden’s lead over Trump among registered voters expanded to 10 percentage points – the biggest margin since the former vice president became his party’s presumptive nominee in early April. (source)

Iran’s economy has been horrendously devastated by US sanctions, and now that they are working to reopen their country, coronavirus infections in the country are returning back. As we read in the Wall Street Journal:
Iran is rolling back coronavirus restrictions as it attempts to revive its battered economy, despite a surge in new infections that has driven daily cases back toward the country’s peak in late March.
Iran locked down much of its economy and closed off religious sites after emerging as the biggest hot spot for the disease in the Middle East in February. As the number of daily cases waned, it began easing some restrictions such as local bazaars and shopping malls in April, followed by restaurants in May.
This past weekend, the government gave permission for all state employees to return to work and allowed gyms to reopen, removing most of the restrictions on businesses. Mosques across the country, some of which had been allowed to perform Friday prayers, are now permitted to hold daily congregations.
Such moves have been met with warnings from Iranian health officials.
“Not only is corona not finished, but we might also get a dangerous peak at any moment,” Health Minister Saeed Namaki said Monday, according to the semiofficial ILNA news agency.
