Ferguson: Riots, Race and the Democratic Party Machine

Race politics and identity politics are dividing American society, and there is nothing ‘grassroots’ about it. It’s all engineered from the top down.

On November 5th, the day after US midterm elections, President Barack Obama met with Ferguson ‘activist’ leaders. It was not part of his daily schedule. He proceeded to tell protesters to, “stay on course”.

Did the President mean ‘stay on course for the rioting’?

Why is Obama meeting with violent protesters before a preliminary verdict is reached in what could be a protracted legal case? It’s not the first Obama has tried his hand at stirring up race mobs, claiming that a shooting victim “could have been my son”.

Why would a US President want to inject himself into a overly-politicized, volatile local matter? It’s something we’ve come to expect from this President, who acts a lot more like a precinct-obsessed Mayor of a city (there’s a job for you in Chicago), or petty dictator, than a President.

The lesson which the race baiting mobs should have learned from the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman trial – but didn’t, is that you cannot prove that racism was a factor in the individual altercation. The jury decided as such with Zimmerman, but the mobs still raged.

The same applies to the shooting of Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri this past summer. For this mob assembling in Ferguson, it seems as if anything short of a Grand Jury demanding the electric chair for Darren Wilson will result in the burning of the city, along with plenty of violent, random reprisal attacks against whites around America.

Let’s hope that cooler heads prevail, but it will be a tough verdict for mobs to swallow if Officer Wilson is not indicted.

‘Activists’ (a crude, throw-away label these days) who then cry, “Well, it’s institutional racism then!”, be be over-reaching in this instance. If a Grand Jury acquits this officer of murder, then this would be because the evidence suggests that is the case – like it or not.

Police brutality is not a ‘race issue’ as many are trying to frame it. It’s pervasive throughout all areas of society in America. US law enforcement is no different to the US military in this respect – both have an obsession with using ‘overwhelming’ or lethal force in any confrontation. Both have changed their rules of engagement in recent years. Here at home, police departments have become obese with heavy equipment as a result of billions of dollars in DHS grants coming directly from Obama’s federal government, yet there’s been no protest of this from the usual left-wing quarters on this important issue, and now it’s festered out of control. Yes, it’s true: racism does exist within police departments and other institutions, but you cannot rightly deliver a mob verdict in this particular case. It’s wrong. Yet, the mob will not hesitate to use the politically correct sledge hammer on any white police officer who arrests, or is involved in a shooting with a black man. Even less civilized is when a mob is allowed to decide the outcome of a forensic investigation based on ‘feeling’, or a legal decision based on ‘emotion’.

Would the mobs be so emboldened if they did not have the expressed backing of the Federal government in the form of White House, the President and DOJ endorsements of aggressive street actions? The answer is probably no. So in this case, Ferguson has been fueled by the regime in Washington. That means that by definition, Ferguson protesters are ‘controlled opposition’. But if they are being controlled by the White House, then who are they opposing? The answer is simple: like a puppet on ‘Twitter strings’ being manipulated by the state, this controlled opposition carries on thinking it’s opposing the state, but it is only opposing itself.

A very, very dangerous thing indeed…
