Martin Armstrong Warns "Ferguson Is The Flash-Point In The Cycle Of War"

ferguson-Aug-2014 Militarization

A few people have sent emails justifying the killing of Brown saying they will prove he was dangerous and on drugs. It really is irrelevant. Aside from the fact there is the little Commandment that says thou shalt not kill with no exception if you have a badge, the only justifiable reason to kill someone is in self-defense. Ferguson is a flash-point. Justifying the shooting is irrelevant. This is no longer a race riot, it is being seen worldwide as war waged by military troops pretending to be police and this crosses the line for that same level of force will be used against white protesters when the economy turns down. The goal is to be so harsh and cruel, like in Donetsk, anyone who disagrees better not show their face.

Appachie-Helicopter

Ferguson is a flash-point in the cycle of war. It is becoming the government against the people. Police have been mandated to militarize under 1033. We have the police forces going simply nuts. In Florida, police bought 8 Apache Helicopters for Brevard County. When you have every person armed walking around town, shit happens.

I was in Washington DC and one of these police was walking around at the train station with a bullet-proof vest and a machine-gun. He did not look to be as smart as an average teenager, just mean, nasty, and looking for a fight. The typical school-yard bully type. He gave the impression that if you spit coffee on you and jumped up suddenly, he would shoot first and ask questions later. There was nothing going on there that day. Just this one power-crazed guy. I have been in countries like that. It is never a safe feeling.

This is not whether Brown was a good guy or bad. This is a flash-point and it is moving beyond racism. This is something that is spreading once again into 2017-2018.

A patriot's boot stomping on the face of a tyrant..forever.  That is your image of the future and the past.  Don't let Orwell fool you.

"This is something that is spreading once again into 2017-2018."

In 2010 it was '2012-2014'.

In 2012 it was '2014-2016'.

Can't we get the grounds crew to pour a bit more concrete into the goal post holes...?

Why should Martin Armstrong, a self-pleaded guilty felon, who served 5-years in prison for falsifying trading losses and stealing money from investors be given any semblance of credibility and airtime by ZH?!!!

A poster here summed it up perfectly the other day. Know Your Rights. - Combat Rock. The Clash.

 

When that innocent verdict comes in there is going to be hell to pay.

 

Edit: What the heck am I thinking. It's not "innocent" it's "not guilty".

The Officer IS innocent.

If the Race Pigs want to stir up up more shit over a just verdict,  than let's get it on.

 

The sooner this disgusting, hideously destructive double standard favoring "minorities" is ended, the better.

I also think he is innocent, but it doesn't matter what I think. If Charlie is right I won't know whether to laugh or cry. Probably both.

Charlie?

You mean Manson, and his Helter Skelter?

A Race War would of course be sad, but a slow cowardly, politically correct death, via incessant bending over backward appeasement, and general constant kissing of WHOLLY undeserving black asses, is a worse fate.

Much worse.

The Latin Americanization of U.S. Police Forces
by COSME CAAL
Guatemala City.
...
"From our experience in half a century in Latin America I can tell you that, once the human rights of a minority are compromised, it is only a matter of time before they are compromised for an entire nation. From that same experience I can tell you it will take decades before they can be regained. Militarized police forces take on a life of their down, at the expense of the society’s well-being. The social contract that gives the state the duty to organize police forces itself becomes obsolete, almost a joke. Citizens begin to obey agents of the state not out of respect or cooperation, but out of fear of those sworn to protect them. Eventually, the militarized power of the police reaches such magnitude that political leaders lose all ability to rein them in. We experienced this USA-backed militarized transformation of the police in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Chile, and Colombia. What the U.S. helped do to Latin America, it is now doing to itself.
...
In the Rampart scandal police officers sworn to crack down on gangs became a murderous gang themselves. This is a familiar pattern seen across Latin America, where police forces were encouraged to take on tougher tactics to combat the products of mass poverty and severe inequality. Extortion mafias now have Guatemala and El Salvador societies on their knees. Their militarized police forces are riddled with corruption, ineptitude, and seemingly ubiquitous violence. Violence is everywhere. America seems to be heading this way."

Ferguson was a staged event.

 

Hired protesters and MSM out in full force to "whack the beehive" and sell this bullshit as "martial law is coming" and "race mongering".

http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/black-cop-kills-white-man-media-hide-race/

 

Black cop kills white criminal in Utah and the "hate-pigs" like Jackson and Sharpton are nowhere - and the hatestream media is nowhere.

 

But those "hate pigs" Jackson and Sharpton are happy to steal from the poor through donations.

 

If you taunt a cop, you will get shot.  If you taunt a cop too much, you will get shot dead.  Pretty simple.  If you feel like doing it, go ahead and find out what happens.

The cops ALREADY treat Whites like Armstrong says they WILL... Now I don't go looking for these stories but in the last year I recall 6 cases of police TASERING white senior citizens who were in Diabetic Shock. Thrown to the ground the whole bit, if it had been a black an asian or a latino the DOJ and FBI would be investigating. Now if I've read 6 reports in newspapers HOW MANY MORE CASES ARE THERE?

Sure nobody wants our police to be like the military but LEO, FEDS, State, and local, have been trained for DECADES by the ADL. THEY are the ones behind this build-up.

Black Police Chief in MISSISSIPPI says this attack by 20 blacks on White man NOT a hate crime, must have been a LOVE CRIME. Now if the races were reversed WHAM DOJ FBI right on it and it would be MAJOR NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS:

Up front you have to own the war and you do that by controlling the propaganda. Send in the race baiters at the onset and make sure no one NO ONE talks about the remote possibility of it being a justified shooting, especially on national coverage. Talkng heads continually call for calm and an unbiased investigation to find out why this innocent black man was shot the way he was. You move reality completely away from right and wrong and a government maintaining peace, which we all want and replace it with inflammatory news casts 24/7 will jessie and al pump 'em up in the streets for the riot shots. Oh and of course they pass the basket for their churches as well. It was bread and circus for the libtard masses while rump ranger in chief goes to the un to pass his masters (pun intended) form of cap and trade.

Did any of you go to the database link in the article and check out how well your county is armed?

"We know that the Department of Homeland Security has been buying up billions of rounds of ammunition, military grade rifles, armored vehicles, riot gear and a host of other supplies. But local police stockpiles have remained fairly hidden from the public, save for the brief peeks we get during mass policing actions like those in Ferguson, Missouri over the last week.

But if you’re interested in what your local county has been stockpiling compliments of The Department of Homeland Security, a database from the military’s Defense Logistics Agency can help."

Here is a shortcut directly to it: 

Simply choose your State and your County and you’ll have complete access to see how well militarized your local and county police departments are.

I don't know about the rest of you but if anyone wants to fuck with us in the CA Bay Area they had better pack a lunch or three.

We (the local, county LEOs) are ready to fight, night or day, land, sea or air!

I find it odd how zerohedge quotes everything M.A. has to say about US cycle of war but always ignores Armstrong articles on how everyone calling for a market crash (err...Tyler) will be wrong and in fact calling for a phase transition high into latter 2015 (perhaps after a small correction next week)?

#!. the board has gotten excessively lame when Stormfront sock puppet tools hijacked it.

#2. In my HUMBLE opinion, white supremacists and tools funded by public relations have this problem called PATHELOGICAL LYING.

The CRA blame garbage and block busting is emperical evidence.  
http://www.compliancetech.com/files/The%20Foreclosure%20Crisis%20and%20R...

#3. Tweakers SUCK.  Tweakers are all hella ugly.  

#4. White people are no better than the black thugs. 
Should I generalize ALL of you?  Having meal tickets, getting welfare and social security (fraud) on MY weak purchasing power dime so you can fuel the drive lifted trucks that you can't afford on your foodstamps, "buy" a house on a teaser rate loan you "inherited", drag in the meth that didn't fix your diobesity problem, illegally rent out rooms with the meth on the property that you brought in, racially harass minorities who did nothing to you- use the subsidies to drive your kid to school in that gas guzzling truck that you can't afford with the $4/gallon + insurance that you can't afford- physically attack minorities when the RACIST cops don't ask the minority if she wants to press charges---nobody's shooting the whtie racist nazi tweaker trash who treat innocent minorities worse than how Michael Brown treated the store owner and the cops.  

The fucking cop in Ferguson IS A COWARD. 

#5. take out counterfeit subprime backed CRA/ARM mortgages that you can't afford to flip in order to rob and MUG people in need of  shelter...

Look at Japan.  No looting.  It's not dangerous to be poor there or anywhere in ASia from drug infested gang violence.  No matter what it's value- you can leave it out in the middle of Tokyo and nobody will even touch it.  Look at their healthcare system quality controlled to a "T" with PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Unlike white Duhmericans, they don't bully their teachers around.  
They DISCIPLINE their kids to study - and study hard.   The suicide and death rate in white America is prolly worse now than it is in Asia.  I'm merely speculating.   I DO know that they don't harass and physically attack paying renters and customers of a different race with racism like White RACIST boomer nazi tweaker trash does.  

AND!  

The cops in Japan don't carry guns.  They wear white gloves. 

White people are not so great themselves.

Ok What I have to share is an important piece of the militarization of the Police in the USSA.

Last month I flew to Roswell, NM on business, the flight both in and out was half full of serious no-neck 5.11 wearing SWAT door kickers from all over the country.

Turns out the Federal Law enforcement Training Center located 45 minutes from Roswell in Artesia NM is recruiting FREE training for all local police depts. nationwide. Door kickers nationwide are going there to learn all the Standard Operating Procedures. (SOPs)

so when we wonder why, all across the country in the past few years  the SOP is to shoot the family dog FIRST, no questions asked. These guys are all just reacting to their training, and the training is becoming nationalized.

Two of the "trainers" were waiting for the flight w/ me out of DFW and discussing how to recruit the Indian Reservation Police, and how the guy they had placed in Kalifornia we just not picking the slack to get enough departments on board fast enough.

I was sporting a fresh crew cut, and am "sort of not too out of shape yet", so i guess they thought I was "one of them" and talked shop.

The Roswell Airport is just full of these cold looking dudes dragging their "Pelican Cases" (assumed with guns and gear,) all wearing 5.11 hats and cargo pants.

All off to a fun filled weekend of dog shooting and "no hesitation" targets.

Combine this Intel with the Congressional bill to ban civilian ownership of body armor and Apache freaking helicopters and its some scary shine-olla.

If I were the President I would be milliterizing the police. 

I would realize that war is being waged against America and that in the event of a surprise suicidal attack by Jihadists, the police would be the first responders.

Packing local LE with gear and bad attitudes intends that in the event of an opportunity to oppress, they call in all the local resources to the particular point for action.
