The riots are part of the shock doctrine plan ---

The international war and resource cabal knows d--- well that austerity programs will create riots eventually. That is expected and good for business (their business -- NOT local business). It causes fear in the population and creates wider acceptance of police state tactics, surveillance and control. It creates huge business benefits for private "security" companies like Blackwater (mercenaries who have no national allegiance and will fire on anyone -- the lowest of the low -- killers for money). It fills the private prisons which creates yet more profit for the same war/weapons/security corporation continuum.

Most of all: It "clears the streets" in the sick minds of the uber right-wing -- of everyone they don't want to deal with and don't want to even see -- those who have been slowly but deliberately squeezed out of society: immigrants displaced by the global resource empire wars, the working poor, those squeezed out of any chance of a living wage job or an affordable education. It "clears the streets" -- flushes the frustrated and desperate out of the tenements and into the streets and criminalizes them -- so they can be "swept up and disposed of" with society's approval -- no more need for social programs like youth clubs, tuition funding, job training, a WPA works program, health care, dental care, childcare, decent affordable housing -- no need for anything it takes to build a stable, creative, classless society.

Problem solved. Profits made all around. Easy. Because no one would ever suspect that any human could be sick enough to hatch and harbor such a long range business plan. But similar things have happened before. In our parents' lifetime. In our lifetimes. Please read The Shock Doctrine; the Rise of Disaster Capitalism -- that book needs to be required reading if we are going to have any hope of turning the train around -- the momentum will not be stopped by mere outrage, by being "shocked". It will take aggressively confronting this without cessation in every possible situation: organizing and educating communities to subsistence survival during the transition from fossil fuel and war economies (Transition Communities), training in non-violent resistance, removing corporate control of governments and judicial systems all over the world through coordinated democratic reform, and building sustainable, green, life-oriented economies to replace the failing economies of death and destruction.

It will take working together -- everyone, wherever we are, in whatever way we can -- to build a cooperative society -- which is the absolute opposite of the combat society. This is the paradigm shift between The Chalice and the Blade happening all around us. We are living it. Get out your Mythic Maps -- You Are Here.........
