Protesting Veterans Tear Down DC Barricades, Chant "Shut Down The White House"

The "Million Vet March" in Washington D.C. appears to be escalating as reports of barricades being torn down, police in riot gear and snipers being deployed, and a growing crowd at The White House chanting for its shut-down suggest the people are growing restless.

 

Veterans take back the Vietnam Memorial

 

Via Epoch Times,

Protesters have gathered in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, according to reports.

 

 

Park police in riot gear were deployed in front of the building.

 

“US Park Police have arrived in front of WH. Some in riot gear! Tea party/veteran protesters start booing,” wrote CNN’s Jim Acosta on Twitter.

 

A rally took place at the World War II memorial and headed to the White House, reported NBC Washington. Several thousand demonstrators came out, it said.

 

NBC reported that people were carrying barricades that were likely from the WWII memorial to the White House area.

 

The DC Police Department said its officers are on the scene.

 

“MPD is on the scene at White House with USSS & USPP concerning protest – marchers using sidewalk,” it wrote on Twitter.

 

Commentator Sarah Palin and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were on the scene and spoke to demonstrators.

 

The organizers of the protest described themselves as the “Million Vet March.”

 

It said that veterans and military members are “being used a political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis,” its website reads.

 

Jeff Tompkins, a protester, told NBC that  “it should be open to everyone to come down here and see this … this is not just and not fair,” referring to the WWII memorial.

Snipers at the ready atop the White House as the crowds gather...

 

Via Twitchy,

 

Amazing.

Now, the protest continues outside of the White House.

Oddly, the General who replaced the removed General belongs to a certain tribe that is very underrepresented in the US Military but overrepresented in the IDF.

Most top brass are either drunks, whore-mongers, addicts of some sort, there is ALWAYS something in their background that can be used against them if they ever refuse to play ball. They do not get stars on their shoulder boards unless they have been vetted by the NWO elites. If one where ever to "get religion", they are disgraced and retired.

True, indeed.  That's probably why a lot of them made flag rank in the first place.  They're "pliant" if you catch my drift.  Goes for Representatives, Senators, WH, and Supreme Court too.  NSA's got the poop on all of them.  The NSA's files are like J Edgar Hoover's on steriods, but w/o the cross dressing.

First off, I seriously doubt much of anything will happen right now beyond vets venting their frustration.

Second, a military coup might not be the salvation many seek. Military folks are often quite hierarchical and authoritarian types, with the whole chain of command, don't question your superiors, follow your orders thing going on. Isn't that what most folks here are bitching about in the first place? Kind of sounds like a meet the new boss, same as the old boss situation to me. So i don't know what the cheering would be about except that you get to watch people you hate right now get their ass kicked as the people you're going to hate soon enough set up shop.

Third, the most likely outcome is taxpayers footing the bill for the cleanup tomorrow, just like all other million person marches, while the politicians continue their games of who's to blame for the problems we face. Same shit, different day. At least that's where I'd bet my money.

Why do you think the Government is trying to remove all the Christians from the military?

All those Christians that believe God has higher authority than the Government.

Maybe because they don't trust folks with black OR white perceptions of the world and a belief system that welcomes an apocalypse as prophecy to have their fingers on the triggers of WMDs? I don't know, it's just a guess. Also, Just because the guys were Christians doesn't mean their religious beliefs were the reason for their removal. I'd bet money 98% of the military brass considers itself Christan.

I live around a ton of military folks and if they got rid of ALL the Christians they'd have about 20% of the people left. Christians, just like religious and non-religious folks of all types, have normal folks, along witha full spectrum of freaks from, self-important, self-absorbed assholes to complete nutcases. Maybe those guys were in one of the latter groupings.

Or maybe it had nothing at all to do with religion and more to do with competence, attitude, reliability, etc... There always seems to be an effort on the part of Christians to find someone or something attacking their belief system. I guess that comes with the slave-based origins of the religion itself.

I believe religion is what one makes of it.  Jesus said he was the body of the church, God said to pray privately, give annonymously and we should live by the golden rule.

I happen to believe in Jesus Christ and his teachings, and what would be wrong with that?

I do not condemn you for your beliefs or lack thereof, quite the contrary, I respect that right of yours, as I would expect of myself; it is your choice what path in life you choose, it is that right I fight for, and believe in.

I believe in the content of character is what makes a man, so what MLK said it, it is true.

This is what I mean about Christians always thinking everyone is attacking them. Where did I condemn Christians? In my comment about someone who believes in an apocalyptic ending of the world with their finger on the trigger of a WMD? Didn't I say that people of all beliefs run the spectrum from sane to insane, as you did?

First off, were the generals Christians or is this just another red herring? If Christian, AND that was the reason for their dismissal, what kind of Christians were? Were they like MLK? Or more like Jim Jones or Fred Phelps? One thing I am certain of, is that the upper levels of the Air Force is filled with evangelical Christians. So, just the act of firing a general means there's a high probability of him being a Christian due to their over representation. See how that works?

I agree with you about character, yet nobody but me has mentioned the character issue in this case. Instead they started with the poor, victimized Christian schtick which is getting really, really tiresome.

Also, with all that mutual respect of beliefs you're talking about, you would have no problem if a staunch Muslim had control of an ICBM silo? If so, I'm guessing your fellow Christians over at Faux News would have a complete meltdown over the idea and start calling for Obama's impeachment over his errors in judgement.

Christians have a well-earned, demonstrated propensity for being brain-washed. They believe, among other fantasies, that Jesus of Nazareth died for their sins so they aren't responsible for their own actions as long as they believe.

Incorrect, see you do not know the scriptures.  He did die for our sins, in a collective way, and we are to walk the narrow path in recompense.  If you continue to sin, over and over, and not change your ways, you are guilty of sin.  On the flip side, no one is as perfect as Jesus Christ, and He does know that, but the basic tenant is this:

 

He, who so believeth in me, and has been baptized in my name, and sin no more, shall have a seat in Heaven. I do paraphrase here.  Love your enemy, is a tough one though, LOL.  No more or no less, believe in it or not, makes no difference to me.  I try to be the best person I can be every day.

Humans take a long time to wise-up, and by the time they do they're usually too old or impaired to do much about it. Which is why family actually matters (for its members), as a good-upbringing is where a father and mother who have wised-up, prep and teach their children to wise-up much earlier, than they otherwise would, or could.

Which is precisely why the family is constantly attacked, disrespected, disparaged by devious 'certain-groups', degraded by the sensation-dominated pop-culture they produce, to make the family less stable and its members less likely to wise up and stop marching so easily and stupidly to their destruction. Hence its cool to disrespect and disregard what parents say.

And that's why anyone who does wise-up early is treated as somehow 'suspect' (and for sure is on the relevant govt watch-lists), is seen as a nerd, an outcast, less attractive or cool, more of a black-sheep, or a negative or disruptive influence to the usual agendas, and by the govt, and lampooned by the narratives of govt-approved pop-medias and the 'personality'-based pop-culture

(which is actually completely devoid of true personality and character lol!).

This is how predators work you seperate the weak and young from the pack for predation. In this case mental predation by spliting the family unit and reindoctrinating the young through school and popular culture aka the TV.

I can kind of agree with you BUT as a former Marine and some one who has only taken the red pill in the last couple of years, its your 'source' of information.  MSM is just that, your 'default' source of information.  I knew not of other sources to go to even online. It took real people talking to me to 'piece' things together enough for me to start 'exploring' on my own. 

 

We are HANDED to us what to believe.  From parental units, to military indoctrination, to the years of public schooling.  It is not easy to disconnect.  Been there done that.  So I for one have a hard time 'prosecuting/condemning' anyone who has not had the same opportunities as myself.  If it were not for someone (like anyone here on ZH) cluing me in on something other than MSM or what the govt says is 'fact', I would still be one of the [clueless].

 

So I have to disagree with the adage you quoted, for we do not know enough personal information to make a call on this. my first time fooled lasted 35+ years of my life...

Thank you for your service Sedaeng. I was Army, around the end of the Vietnam War (graduated college in '72). We had a massive antiwar movement in those days so many of us got our "education" and cynicism via that movement. Call it ZH on steroids. Now we have to use the blogs and the social networks and the dinner table and snipe at the MSM and the government and their corporate owners every chance we get to prove them to be the conflicted propagandizers we know they are. Everyday we have to fight the battle for the Truth. That's our war now and that's our duty.

Sedaeng fair enough.

But you must admit that this didn't start with Obama, and this nation is guilty of too many war crimes to count and not just in the last twelve years since our government declared unlawfully a state of emergency under the Patriot Act and NDAA and 3 going on 4 wars with occupation(s)? See my earlier response on this thread about the Million American March on the 12th Anniversary for 9/11 answers that hasn't happened yet in this Country. 

By the way.  When you have a Commander-in-Thief like Bush (the younger) who was an ex-drug addict that couldn't even get that proverb said correctly and was an embarrassment to his Country when he repeatedly violated and used force illegally both at home and abroad in his two terms in office just as Obama has, what does it say about the American people? More importantly what does it say about those in uniform who continue to follow their orders and are the facilitators of that deceit and destruction?

I've come to the realization the only way it stops is when the abuser gets met with force which is revealing itself every day with Russia's protection of Syria.  What a tragic statement of how disgraceful we are when our military continues it's subservience to a government that continues to break the rule of law even when we learned the truths that exposed the lies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and too many other places that we still don't know about after that event that changed everything?

The only ones who can clearly claim piece of mind and a soul are the whistleblower, legal scholars and professional engineers who have exposed the truth.

No, but I didn't find anything about the EBT problems on the MSM yesterday either.  (I was curious so I tuned in.)  It was eerie that something that affected a fairly large number of people in 17 states for a significant number of hours never made the cable news.  It didn't merit a mention on the local news either, although there was a blurb on the Web pages of various local news outlets.

It'll be iinteresting to see how coverage of the vets plays out.

Where were the military vets and truckers and (everyone else) in this Country for the 12th 9/11 Anniversary last month in both Washington D.C. and Manhattan?  "Million American March" last month in the Nation's Capital and only 40 people show up because everyone was shamed that asking questions is unpatriotic courtesy of Sean Hannity at FOX? among others in the MSM?? 

Worst of all the guys in uniform know the truth about what sent them to Afghanistan and Iraq and they still refuse to acknowledge it for what it was.  An inside job!

Ah yes, shades of 1933 all over again. WW1 vets set up camp in DC to protest, and FDR sent in General MacArthur to clear them out. There were several fatalities. In the end, they were cleared out, the camps dismantled, and that was that. Will it be the same outcome this time around? Only time will tell.

There was a riot this morning in Bellingham, WA...

Hundreds riot on Indian Street in Bellingham

Police used pepper spray to disperse hundreds of drunk, bottle-throwing college students who rioted late Saturday, Oct. 12, north of Western Washington University.

Bellingham Police broke up a block party at an apartment complex near Jersey Street around 9:30 p.m., said Bellingham Police Lt. Mike Johnston. People leaving the party threw beer bottles and cans at officers, he said. Police called for backup.

A “parade of people” made its way to the intersection, drawing out college students from other parties in the area, said Sam Kaplan, a Western Washington University sophomore who lives near the scene of the riot.

Glass bottles, dishes and cans were thrown at officers, police cruisers, and other rioters, Johnston said.

Officers in riot gear used pepper balls, smoke and flash-bangs to disperse the crowd of 300 to 400 that refused to leave the intersection, Johnston said.

These are vets who served our country honorably putting their very lives on the line for the rest of us.  The Dictator Obama never served a day in his life.  He huddles to cake and coffee in the White House protected by the most immense security/espionage (on us) organization in the history of the world.  Snipers ready to take out the 85-year old WWII vets. 

Many somebodies in the Congress--Dems and Repubs--had better wake up and exert a "check" against this abuse of power before things tip over too far to "balance".

Obama's a popular president, re-elected with almost sixty-six million votes (51%). But if a civil war breaks out, who's ready to die for him? The coastal white liberals who don't let their kids play with toy guns? The obese welfare mamas? Or will inner-city gangsters stop shooting each other long enough to join the fight?

The only reason Obama is president is because the Republican Party lied, cheated, stole, and broke their own rules to make sure the psychopath (Romney) got their nomination over the Last Honest Man. Otherwise, Ron Paul would be president, and none of this shit would be happening.

I wanted Ron Paul but they followed up doing the same thing to Santorum.  Romney and Gingrich (as a spoiler to Paul and Santorum) backed casino kingpin Sheldon Adelson said Adelson said that Santorum was "too Christian" for him to back.   Santorum had Romney beaten in the Midwest but they did late voting in the cities for Romney after Santorum had beaten him in two midwest states.   Then Obama did the same thing to Romney.  It was stolen in the primaries and the general election.

Like I said - Ron Paul was my first choice.  Santorum had almost no financial backing so he was second choice and he was not CFR like Gingrich.

What you may forget is that ALL Organized Protest Groups are INFILTRATED by Government Agents whom act as agitators or unwanted rogue elements.

 

Whomever brought the Confederate Flag may be an Undercover Federal Agent seeking to suggest that racism is involved....WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE.

 

Let me ask you a question about race,..since you brought it up....YOU DID.

 

What percentage of Veterans are Black? My guess is OVER HALF. They are GOOD MEN.

 

For Government to screw them over is unthinkable. And yet the Government has.
