Civil Unrest in Louisville

[Wallfire]

Things are relatively calm here in Scotland.
Most folks are still hunkering down and just trying to get through this.

There has been a recent incident in Glasgow city centre with a "Protect The Statues" type protest,
BUT I have it on good authority (from first hand witnesses) that the group of "protestors" aren't from around here.
They seem to be "British Nationalists" bused in from parts to the south of here, and they are just nasty, racist, aggressive, bully-types looking for a fight / story.

My gut feeling is that Westminster may have "arranged" this, to stir up some trouble so that they can clamp down on future public protests/marches etc in light of the increasing support for Scottish Independence. (e.g. putting a limit on the number of people allowed to march in a single protest to minimise the public impact of Indy marches which were getting HUGE before lockdown.)

I keep on repeating the same mantra to anyone who will listen -
TPTB thrive when WE are fighting one another instead of fighting THEM.
They deliberately stir up conflict, whether it's black-white, patriot-commie, sunni-shia, gay-straight, yoony-indy, you name it... then publicise and popularise it through THEIR controlled media outlets.
The people on the streets are then fighting among themselves, looking left-right and over their shoulders instead of looking UP at those pulling the strings!!!
I just wish that more people would wake up before it gets waaaay out of hand this time.

If people are to fight something they need to see it and have it with in reach, so I ask who are TPTB, who are "them". What has been happening this last few years seems to me not to be controlled by any one person, and, it seems to be more a social Von Neumann machine. Some thing that was started a long time ago, and people just keep doing it because the person before them did it, but no one knows or asks why or even understands what it is. In the book 1984 the leader is never reveled, because there is no one leader. Also there must always be war, friends become enemy's, enemy's become friends but always war. Could it be what we have now with BLM and man made climate change is a social Von Neumann machine, no one understands what it is doing or why but some leaders know how to use it gain what they want. The thing about a social Von Neumann machine is it is not rigid, it changes it evolves to use the materials available so it can never be fully understood or controlled, but it can be used, and when used it causes confusion and knee jerk reactions. Communism has always tried to use the socail Von Neumann machine but they forget its not rigid, as the social material changes so does the material the machine produces, thats why communism always fails but not before it leaves people dead, poor, and so much destroyed
