12 Unanswered Questions About The Baltimore Riots That They Don’t Want Us To Ask

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

Why did the Baltimore riots seem like they were perfectly staged to be a television event?  Images of police vehicles burning made for great television all over the planet, but why were there abandoned police vehicles sitting right in the middle of the riot zones without any police officers around them in the first place?  Why was the decision made ahead of time to set a curfew for Tuesday night and not for Monday night?  And why are Baltimore police officers claiming that they were ordered to “stand down” and not intervene as dozens of shops, businesses and homes went up in flames?  Yes, the anger over the death of Freddie Gray is very real.  Police brutality has been a major problem in Baltimore and much of the rest of the nation for many years.  But could it be possible that the anger that the people of Baltimore are feeling is being channeled and manipulated for other purposes?  The following are 12 unanswered questions about the Baltimore riots that they don’t want us to ask…

#1 Why are dozens of social media accounts that were linked to violence in Ferguson now trying to stir up violence in Baltimore?…

The data mining firm that found between 20 and 50 social media accounts in Baltimore linked to the violence in Ferguson, Mo. is now reporting a spike in message traffic in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City, with “protesters” trying to get rides to Baltimore for Tuesday night.

 

The firm, which asked to remain anonymous because it does government work, said some of the suspect social media accounts in Baltimore are sending messages to incite violence. While it is possible to spoof an account, to make it look like someone is one place and really is in another, that does not fully explain the high numbers.

#2 Who was behind the aggressive social media campaign to organize a “purge” that would start at the Mondawmin Mall at precisely 3 PM on Monday afternoon?…

The spark that ignited Monday’s pandemonium probably started with high school students on social media, who were discussing a “purge” — a reference to a film in which laws are suspended.

 

Many people knew “very early on” that there was “a lot of energy behind this purge movement,” Baltimore City Councilman Nick Mosby told CNN on Tuesday. “It was a metaphor for, ‘Let’s go out and make trouble.'”

#3 Even though authorities had “credible intelligence” that gangs would be specifically targeting police officers on Monday, why weren’t they more prepared?  On Tuesday, the captain of the Baltimore police tried to make us believe that they weren’t prepared because they were only anticipating a confrontation with “high schoolers”

Police Capt. John Kowalczyk said the relatively light initial police presence was because authorities were preparing for a protest of high schoolers. A heavy police presence and automatic weapons would not have been appropriate, he said. Kowalczyk said police made more than 200 arrests — only 34 of them juveniles.

#4 Where were the Baltimore police on Monday afternoon when the riots exploded?  During the rioting, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said that the “disappearance of the police for hours this afternoon is something that is going to haunt this city for decades”.

#5 Why are police officers in Baltimore claiming that they were instructed to “stand down” during the rioting on Monday afternoon?…

Police officers in Baltimore reportedly told journalists that they were ordered by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake not to stop looters during yesterday’s riots.

 

Rawlings-Blake, who waited 5 hours before even making a statement on the unrest, was already under intense critcism for saying that violent mobs were provided with “space” to “destroy” during riots which took place on Saturday.

One Baltimore shopkeeper said that he actually called the police 50 times asking for help and never got any assistance at all.  Other business owners reported similar results.  This is so similar to what we saw back during the Ferguson riots.

#6 Why was the decision made ahead of time to set a curfew on Tuesday night but not on Monday night?

#7 Why were so many police vehicles conveniently parked along the street in areas where the worst violence happened?  After the destruction of a number of police vehicles on Saturday night, the Baltimore police had to know that they were prime targets.  So why were there even more police vehicles available for rioters to destroy on Monday?  And where were the cops that should have been protecting those vehicles?

#8 Why is an organization funded by George Soros stirring up emotions against the police in Baltimore?

#9 Why is CNN bringing on “commentators” that are promoting violence in Baltimore?…

Marc Lamont Hill, a Morehouse College professor and regular CNN commentator, embraced radical violence in the streets during an interview Monday on CNN.

“There shouldn’t be calm tonight,” Hill told CNN host Don Lemon as riots raged in the streets of Baltimore.

 

“Black people are dying in the streets. We’ve been dying in the streets for months, years, decades, centuries. I think there can be resistance to oppression.”

#10 Why did Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake initially tell reporters that a decision was made on Saturday to give “those who wished to destroy space to do that”?

#11 Why were rioters given hours to cause mayhem before a state of emergency was finally declared on Monday?  Maryland Governor Larry Hogan seems to think that Mayor Rawlings-Blake waited far too long to declare a state of emergency.  Just check out what he told one reporter

I‘ve been in daily communication with the mayor and others in the city and our entire team has been involved from day one. Frankly, this was a Baltimore city situation. Baltimore city was in charge. When the mayor called me, which quite frankly we were glad that she finally did, instantly we signed the executive order. We already had our entire team prepared.

 

We were all in a command center and second floor of the state house in constant communication and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time. She finally made that call and we immediately took action. 

#12 Does the fact that the mayor of Baltimore has very close ties to the Obama administration have anything to do with how events unfolded during the riots?  The following is from Infowars.com

Rawlings-Blake was one of three mayors who provided broad input into President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which advocates the federalization of police departments across the country by forcing them to adhere to stricter federal requirements when they receive funding.

 

“The federal government can be a strong partner in our efforts in build better relationships between the police and community,” she said in written testimony before the task force.

 

That would explain her inaction to stop the rioting when it began: by allowing it to spiral out of control, the mayor and her friends at the Justice Dept. could use the unrest to justify the expansion of federal power into local law enforcement, which would also allow her to receive more funding.

And why did it take Barack Obama several days to publicly condemn the violence in Baltimore?  Why didn’t he stand up and say something on Monday when the riots were at their peak?

Something doesn’t smell right about all of this.  Much of the violence could have been prevented if things had been handled differently.

In the end, who is going to get hurt the most by all of this?  It will be the African-American communities in the heart of Baltimore that are already suffering with extremely high levels of unemployment and poverty.

I wish that we could all just learn to come together and love one another.  Over the past few days, I have seen a whole lot of “us vs. them” talk coming from all quarters.  This kind of talk is only going to reinforce the cycle of mistrust and violence.

Sadly, I believe that this is just the beginning of what is coming to America.  The following are some tweets that show the mayhem and destruction that we have been witnessing in Baltimore the past few days…

Switch off your TV's , get out into the streets and KILL something; ANYTHING, just to get the ball rolling.

SOP:  Distract, Redirect.  Provoke, Divide.  Redefine or re-frame The Argument.

Thanks to TV and Gaming, most 'Merican sheeple got ADD1 anyway, to notice that they are being manipulated and handled like cheap hookers.  Plus they are too dumb or emotion-driven, to resist the Edwards Bernays games that TPTB got down pat.

You could not pull these stunts on smart Whites or Asians (w/o getting their asses handed to them), so the cops and the System leaves them alone, and goes for the low-hanging fruit instead:  Poor Black Guys (PBG).  Rather than addressing the underlying policies, issues and problems of our nation, PBGs are an ideal demographic to use as a pretext for moar Surveillance.gov and Policing.gov.

Yep, it works the same way as organized religion.  Even smart people tend to be lazy (notice I didn't mention race), so they'll look around - or simply accept - a worldview (religion) that suits them and call it done.  They don't seem to realize that other races, creeds, etc. are also lazy, and will simply stop learning once they've encountered an acceptable substitute for their continued personal effort.

Our owners know all this very well- and how to exploit it.

So, when a situation develops (or is created) it's a perfect opportunity for the Owners to pit group "a" against group "b" as if they were 'natural' enemies.  They're not, but most of the time, people not only stop learning, they become hardened against any other race, creed or religion than their own.

Then what?  The Owners sit in relative anonymity while those who might be smart enough to discern who their real enemy is are totally distracted fighting others who might otherwise be allies, if they, themselves weren't so fuckin' lazy.

In the Rodney King riots they tried to loot in my town. Ass whippings for every rock thrower put a stop to that right quick. In the Korean part of town? They will shoot you dead on the spot.

 No we did not ask the mayor if it was ok.It was one hell of a thing to see. Bikers,construction workers and suits all standing watch all night long. People bringing coffee and food. Two way radios all over town. The bars were stagging areas with truck loads of big dudes just waiting for any call. Trust me on this. 30 roofers with hammers can whip a lot of asses all night long. Everyone was packin.

#5  "police officers in Baltimore ... were instructed to “stand down”.  As a resident of Baltimore with three friends in Balto PD (including a relative), I can confirm that the cops were indeed told to stay away from the trouble area for several hours, during which most of the damage occurred.

WHY is the question.  No answers yet.  Also said cop relative now has no cruiser to fulfil his normal duties, so they are staying out of sight.

There are reports coming out that Gray had gone through cervical spine surgery recently. The claim is 10 days prior, but that sounds suspect to me. 

In any case, if his spine hadn't healed, running could have injured him greatly. That said, the police were negligent in ignoring his groans and his inability to use his legs and should have called an ambulance.

If the story is accurate, blame goes to both parties with a 1,000 times more blame to the commie organizers, including George Soros, who have instigated these riots, plying on the racist thugs to do thuggish things. 

Soros enjoys bringing upheaval to society.

The mayor doesn't mind either because she supports getting increased federal tax dollars and a federalized police force.

Each party has plenty of blame here:

 

  1. Freddie Gray for running, especially if he was recovering from surgery
  2. The police who roughly mishandled him instead of calling for an ambulance
  3. The thugs of Baltimore and the organizers who are paid to promote riots, arson, injuries and theft. This would include George Soros.
  4. the mayor who wants a rioting to increase city funding from the federal government

Now as to your question: my previous remarks spread the blame around quite clearly. Thus your comments make you look quite foolish and childish.

Your questions imply that the police make it a habit to chase people without cause. But that's not a 50/50 guess; it's a 5% to 95% assumption. 

We do know that Freddie was a career small time crminal. It's possible or even likely that the police saw him selling drugs.

Under no circumstances should a person recovering from spinal surgery be running anywhere. That is my criticism of him. He apparently seriously hurt himself by running.

The police made the matter far worse by not calling an ambulance for him. They are culpable for their actions.

I believe in Maryland, if a person gets injured, but they were even a little bit responsible, they can't collect damages. At least that's the way it was about 30 years ago. If he ran when he shouldn't have run - again this is based on whether he had surgery - Gray contributed to his own death.

Hate to break it to you Emma; But, the KGB does not exist anymore. It's been called the FSB for quite some time now. And no, the FSB has nothing to do with this. You can blame Israel and the DHS with their mandate that police be trained by IDF.

At least the black people are willing to do something about it which is more than I can say for the racist keyboard commandos in here.

I suppose if you are an Intelligence Agent you see all races as targets and you know they are all profitable.

So I'd like the question your pose, but don't think you can state "Truisms".

What are the Intelligence Agencies operating in CONUS? I can't guess at Hawaii or Alaska, so leave them out.

- Russian Federation
- Chinese Red Army or whatever Agencies (what are they?)
- North Koreans
- Iranians
- Latin or Cuban Dissidents of the European System... whatever that is
- If U go to many poor Caribbean countries they will often feel poor, hard, disparate, and schatt upon... if you question them on the Financial System, the fairness of the system, and Classes within the system

Does the French & Israeli Intelligence agencies feel the must assign assets, staff, resources, education, and fund to spy on the USA & our Industries?? HELL YEAH!!!

Ruskies are very good at hacking. They will infiltrate black social media sites and poise as black. They'll post a picture and do the whole schmere. Then they will start causing problems. Do some critical thinking, please. Do you think that all of the C.I.A. opperations to bring down various govs around the world didn't have a counter party? Russians have been very active. The people who expose their opperations die. The record is clear on this. They are deeply involved at stirring the melting pot of the USA. Exploiting the race card is cheap and easy. Their goal is to bankrupt the US and divide us as a nation. It looks like they will succeed.

It is really a pretty simple plan.  Spread chaos throughout the nation and "Prove" that the local police departments are under trained and biased.   The next step is to replace the locals with a federally controlled police force.  The US government agencies did not order those 100s of million rounds of ammunition to go duck hunting.

I have but three questions about Baltimore:

1. Why was Freddie carrying a "switchblade"?

2. Why did he not heed law enforcement's order to halt, and then allow himself to be taken into custody (he very likely would be alive today had he done what he was told to do)?

3. When will the black community cease to be the overwhelming makers of their own misery?

Look around your local slums, check out the boarded up and torn down factories, the spreading landscape of skid row on meth and violence. Look at the cripples, the permanently homeless and the walking wounded and pharma poisoned "veterans" of Pentacon Kill Industries' global rampage against the rest of the human family. See the Third World Fourth Reich class society that we have allowed whore politicos, thieving banksters and presstitutes to foist upon the great majority of people who no longer buy the apple pie hubris BS that passes for "our" culture.

 

Every one of the above questions can be answered by the deliberate actions of our "leaders" ...the one question that can't be answered is why the supremacist racist sickness is so deeply imbued in the workless white master class that will be equally culled when the machine finally starts to grind.
