When the Statues Fall, Uproot the Pedestals   The Promise of Direct Action

"the root causes of white supremacy" ????

[You're ALL slaves. Skin colour is irrelevant. You say "white supremacy", they say "white genocide" when in reality what you've got is the (elite) 'supremacist's genocidalism.' They'll let you kill each other, cause chaos and fear in the minds of the passive and all the while you're doing their job for them. You deserve each other.]

Domino's shares plunge after falling short of guidance
http://www.smh.com.au/business/retail/dominos-falls-short-of-guidance-after-french-flop-20170814-gxw35x.html

"Shares in Domino's Pizza have plunged more than 20 per cent after the company revealed it failed to meet its own earnings guidance and that sales growth was slipping across its network. The stock closed at $51.11 a share on Monday and had fallen to $40.28 within in the first minutes of trade on Tuesday, wiping almost $1 billion from the company's market capitalisation. Shares had recovered to $44.68 by 12.50pm, down 12.6 per cent from the open."

[A car drives into Paris pizzeria and "Domino's shares plunge after falling short of guidance". Blatant insider information and stock shorting reminiscent of just before 9/11. Coincidence, I think not. This was a cash-in.]

Other more reputable publications have recognized the scientific irrefutability of the coinciding of scripture and science in the September 23rd alignment. Had there been no scientific correlation I probably wouldn't have have given it a second look.]

It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going well or badly. All that is needed is that a state of war should exist. -- George Orwell, 1984

In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. -- George Orwell, 1984

Angry Crowd Attacks "Unite the Right" Organizer in Charlottesville
https://panafricannews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/angry-crowd-attacks-unite-right.html

[Expect the Deep State to try and link Bannon with Charlottesville, to wrench him from the Trump camp, because he is seen as loyal and effective, and is former editor of Breitbart (and likely retains strong ties), mouthpiece of the alt-right.

If you want to know who was behind it and controls both sides, and is an avowed enemy of the President, a clue.

After criticism, White House says Trump condemns KKK, neo-Nazis

[This is a classic no-win for Trump. Alienate him from his political base (however extreme) or paint him as a fascist for refusing to refute them.

I can't help but feel that this was, to some extent, a staged event to change the focus of the news agenda whilst causing political turmoil which perpetuates division, and thus stymies a consensus on action against the embedded, self-enriching and entrenched crooks in Washington.

Keep the statues, keep the monuments, it's tradition no matter how ugly, it should stand as a reminder of brother-against-brother fomented by usurious foreign powers and the abnegation of human-rights, for profit.

You can't prevent people from wanting to retreat and live in the past, if they cannot understand the multi-faceted present. If they want to be ostriches to the roots of the problem, let them pick at leaves, and i'll leave the 'cottoning-on' metaphor out of it.]

3,000 swell protest over Netanyahu graft probes

"Anti-Netanyahu demonstrations were also held in a number of other cities, among them Jerusalem, Haifa, Beersheba and Ashdod and Modiin."

"Netanyahu accused the left and the media of using ever-widening corruption investigations against him and his family to try to oust him from power in what he called “a coup against the government.”"

[But not against a kickback-accepting, media manipulating, influence peddling, division-creating, terrorist supporting crook.]
