US News calls this man a demonstrator

Voices outrage over police reaction.

The BBC only found innocent babes were at the receiving end of police action: a "stoop-backed older woman and a man on crutches" and reporters.

It's cool, those workers you're always going on about will get that for you.

Want to buy a demonstration of have someone fake outrage? It's easy.

Ever wonder where those demonstrators come from?  They could very well be unemployed actors earning $10 an hour. There's a company called Crowds on Demand that puts it all together for you.

The text says to arrive at an address on California Street in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood at 5 p.m. on a Thursday. Like my previous Crowds on Demand gig, I have no idea what my work is going to entail. All I’m told is to wear a suit.

Again, I’m running late. As I crest the hill at California and Taylor, I see elegantly dressed older couples streaming into a palatial white building. Photographers and TV news cameramen swarm around each pair, while a reporter blocks their path, bombarding them with questions. Getting closer, I realize that this isn’t a TV reporter — it’s Adam wielding a reporter’s hand-held mic.

“What’s your opinion on the Georgia edict?” he shouts at a couple in their 70s who veer around him, making a beeline for the front door.

“No comment,” the guy says. “We’re from Greece.”

“No comment?” Adam shrieks, as they duck into the building. “What are you saying? Greek people can’t stand up against bigotry?”

He spots me and comes over to say hi, making note of my lateness. Breathlessly, he gives me a hurried orientation. This is the California Memorial Masonic Temple, where Masons have gathered for their annual world conference. Recently, the Georgia grand lodge passed a bylaw — known as the Georgia edict — prohibiting homosexuality among its members. Our job? To pose as a TV news crew, confront Masons as they arrive for the opening gala, and challenge them to take a stand. “Just watch me for a few minutes,” Adam says. “You’ll figure it out.”

Sprawling camera crew in tow, Adam intercepts the Masons and interrogates them as they struggle to rush past him. Most ignore his questions, but now and then a couple stops to talk. “It’s a state’s rights issue,” a courtly, silver-haired man from Florida tells him. “Do I agree with what they’re doing in Georgia? No way. But one of the main things about Masons is, we don’t interfere with other chapters.”

Adam inches closer to the guy, raising his voice. “If you don’t agree with it, isn’t it your duty to stand up and say so?”

The guy shrugs. “I’m not a lodge master.”

Adam goes berserk or, as I observe him more closely, puts on a controlled show of going berserk. “What an embarrassment!” he shouts. “Listen, I go to the Equinox gym in Santa Monica. If the Equinox in Boston bans gays, I’m damn sure going to do something about it!”

Two cops barrel over, a burly male and a spike-haired female. The male cop says, “Hey! You guys can do whatever it is you’re doing. That’s your right. But knock off the swearing! There are kids around.”

Adam wasn’t really swearing, and there are no kids in sight. Left momentarily speechless, Adam allows the Florida Mason to hurry up the temple’s front steps.

Adam turns to me. “All right,” he says. “You got the idea?”

Actually, I don’t, but Adam deputizes me on the spot, passing me a mic. He assigns a ragtag band to shadow me — six altogether, ranging from 20 to 60 years old. We’ve got two photographers, two videographers, a soundperson with a mic on an extendable boom pole, and a young woman balancing the brightest floodlight I’ve ever seen in my life on a rickety monopod. We don’t look like any kind of TV news crew that I’ve ever seen — more like students in a community college filmmaking class — but for Masons visiting San Francisco from Arkansas, Oregon, Portugal, and Uganda, unfamiliar with the local media, maybe we’ll pass.

What brought my fake camera crew here tonight was a Craigslist ad Adam posted earlier in the week: “Adventurous videographers wanted,” with few other details. Emily Ivker is the person wielding the boom pole. She’s a recent college graduate from Wayland, Massachusetts, who just landed in San Francisco the previous week with dreams of becoming a travel blogger. “Twenty bucks an hour,” she says. “I couldn’t pass it up.” (Crowds on Demand wages vary depending on the type of job and the local cost of living: $10 an hour in New Orleans, double in the Bay Area.)

It's clled Astroturfing and you can bet your bottom dollar that a lot of what you see on the street, in rallies and on social media is paid for by some deep pockets.

Donald Trump may pay legal fees of 78-year-old who punched a disrupter at a Trump rally

I didn't think we had these kind of men any more.

78-year-old John McGraw punched Jones and was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery and disorderly conduct and will return to court on April 6

Democrat Shock Troops Invade Trump Rallies, Riot - Media Blames Trump

Democrat shock troops: Young Socialist for Bernie, Black Lives Matter thugs, La Raza Racists invade rallies for Trump and the media attempts to place the blame for the violence on Trump. In a stunning reversal of position, the same people who say that “she deserved it because she dressed too provocatively, or her skirt was too short” are rape apologists, are blaming the victim when the victim is Trump.

Here's Bernie Sanders blaming Trump for Bernie supporters staging a riot at a Trump rally in Chicago (via the NY Slimes).

“What our supporters are doing is responding to a candidate who has in fact, in many ways, encouraged violence,” Mr. Sanders said. “When he talks about, you know, ‘I wish we were in the old days when you could punch somebody in the head,’ what do you think that says to his supporters?”

Mr. Sanders said, “Donald Trump has got to be loud and clear and tell his supporters that violence at rallies is not what America is about and to end it.”

There has not been one instance of Republicans disrupting a Hillary or Bernie rally. There are no Republican gangs roaming the streets, burning buildings, attacking and shooting police. The Democrats own the rent-a-mob business. The Bernie Socialists, BLM gang-bangers and illegal immigrant activists are all part of the Democrat Party apparatus. They are the angry people the Democrats support. Their leaders are the people Bernie reaches out to for Black support in his race against Hillary.   In a humorous aside, race-baiter extraordinaire Sharpton (who came to prominence for promoting the Tawanda Brawley hoax) was wooed by both Sharpton and Hillary on the same day.  They are the activists groups that forced Hillary to retract her faint praise of Nancy Reagan at her funeral.

And they are their “Brown shirts” who the Democrats rely on to disrupt and if necessary, bust heads. And the Media Arm of the Democrat Party is blaming the victim. Because riots, looting and disruption is what the core Democrat constituency does. And if anyone objects, they deserve to have gangs of Young Democrats bust up their gatherings.

I suspect that a turning point has been reached. The Trump phenomenon is not really about Trump. It’s about the vast middle of America realizing that they don’t have to take it anymore. Middle America is meeting itself in rallies for people who want to make America great again. Middle America is seeing the sick punks for the small group of toughs they really are and they’re sick of it. Middle America knows that they media filter is designed to make them look bad and the thugs look good. The media “elite” calls them “angry” when the really angry ones are the rioters who shout insults as they disrupt their rallies. The media “elite” calls them “racist” when the real racists are the Black lives Matter and la Raza racists. The media “elite” calls them “old white men” when the pied piper of the violent gangs is very old, very white, and a man.

Demands for calm are always demands that we sit down and shut up. That horse is out of the barn. The summer is going to be a hot one because rioting is now part of the Democrat play-book. Democrats screams of racism are now omnipresent. The Permanent Establishment made up of the powerful people in both political parties sees their serfs getting restless, and they’re going to get more and more violent, they’re going to scream their contempt of the peasantry louder and louder. It is not yet sure who will win this epic battle, but let there be no question that – even if Trump were to disappear – the questions he’s raised and the issues that he talks about will not go away.

Here’s What Would Be Happening if President Romney Had Bombed a Hospital in Afghanistan

The news out of the Perpetual War on Terror is pretty grim these days. The US military knowingly but “accidentally” bombed a hospital in Afghanistan, killing 22 doctors and patients. Just days later, the president decided not to draw down troops in the country as previously planned, but will instead keep nearly 6,000 of our sons and daughters in the country until at least 2017 when his term ends. At the same time, the inner workings of the president’s drone war, including questionable intel, lax target timeframes, and horrifying collateral damage ratios, have been brought to light by a whistleblower.

But you’d be forgiven for not noticing any of this. While it has been reported in the news media, there has been almost no secondary public reaction. I think that’s entirely because of one factor: Barack Obama won the last election, not Mitt Romney. If Romney had been elected in 2012 and in the year before his reelection campaign had bombed a hospital, decided to keep troops in Afghanistan, and had details of his robot assassin program leaked, things would probably look a little different today.

If Romney were president right now, the White House would be surrounded by protesters and candlelight peace vigils night and day. Some would wave American flags, some would wave signs calling for impeachment, some would have pictures caricaturing the president as Hitler or an animal. They would chant “Not in our name!”, or “Bring them home!”, or “Hey ho, hey ho, Romney has got to go!”

If Romney were president, nightly news reports on CBS, NBC, and ABC would have regular features on war crimes, quagmires, and collateral damage. CNN would be wall-to-wall with team coverage of protests, interviews of bombing witnesses, and Anderson Cooper walking through rubble in full body armor.

If Romney were president, every political analyst left of Judge Napolitano would be fretting over the war-weary public turning the upcoming election into a referendum against the president and his party. Vox and FiveThirtyEight would have maps showing how many Senate seats Republicans would lose because of the president’s sure-to-plummet approval rating. And then there’s MSNBC.

If Romney were president, MSNBC would be holding mock war crimes tribunals on Chris Hayes, explaining the ins and outs of the process with expert guests. Lena Dunham would be on Maddow every night aghast (but still giggling!) at this warmonger-in-chief. Chris Matthews would be yelling at Michael Moore, trying to find out when charges would be filed at the Hague.

If Romney were president, Democrats in Congress would be calling for hearings and investigations for each transgression: the bombing, troop levels, and drone policy. Chuck Schumer would hold daily press briefings scolding the wreckless president from behind the glasses perched precariously down his nose. Someone would accurately quote Sheila Jackson-Lee condeming the terrible bombing of the “orphanage in Pakistan”.

But Mitt Romney isn’t president, Barack Obama is, so no one cares. When the One, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, the Lightbringer, the Calmer of Seas, the History-maker, the Healer of Wounds, He Who Will Make Us Respected Again bombs a hospital, extends a war he said he already ended (Promise Fulfilled!™), and uses flying death robots to kill [REDACTED]s of bystanders and labels them “enemies” anyway, we assume it’s a bug, not a feature, and we excuse it. Shame on us.

Long Live the Digital Revolution

Tomorrow the Tea Party has called for demonstrations at IRS offices across the country. If the IRS is really going rogue, that presents a hazard because the demonstrators could be identified and targeted by the IRS for “special treatment.” But the dangers go both ways. As we (and Richard Fernandez) have pointed out when the enemy has you in range, you have him in range as well. And while there are quite a few people who work for the IRS and other government agencies, there are many more who do not. That is the dilemma for the police state: it depends on the desire for most people to keep their heads down and avoid a fight. I understand that very well. But the digital revolution that makes it possible to identify people in a crowd of demonstrators also makes it possible for the demonstrators to identify their oppressors.

The digital revolution makes it possible to record and identify those who want to intimidate the people. And they would prefer to go to bed at night as much as the next man.

Elizabeth Warren Supporters Spit On Coast Guard Woman in Uniform

Occupy Boston protesters spit on Coast Guard member: MyFoxBOSTON.com

"You're just an organized mob."

White group of anti-capitalist doesn't let an black icon speak. 

If these were Tea Party they would be called racists. Since they're Leftist radicals they're called ... what?  The MFM has a problem.

Try occupying the Dean's office at Shakedown U.

Mark Steyn on the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd.

So they are in favor of open borders, presumably so that exotic Third World peasants can perform the labor to which they are noticeably averse. Of the 13 items on that "proposed list of demands," Demand Four calls for "free college education," and Demand Eleven returns to the theme, demanding debt forgiveness for all existing student loans. I yield to no one in my general antipathy to the racket that is American college education, but it's difficult to see why this is the fault of the mustache-twirling robber barons who head up Global MegaCorp. Inc. One sympathizes, of course. It can't be easy finding yourself saddled with a six-figure debt and nothing to show for it but some watery bromides from the "Transgender and Colonialism" class. Americans collectively have north of a trillion dollars in personal college debt. Say what you like about Enron and, er, Solyndra and all those other evil corporations, but they didn't relieve you of a quarter-mil in exchange for a Master's in Maya Angelou. So why not try occupying the Dean's office at Shakedown U?

No joke:

Down with evil corporations
