Something EVIL this way comes.

Call me paranoid, but I fear there is much more to this than a rowdy night in Vegas.
After watching all the tapes, I fear this was all pre-planned by the Clinton Campaign with the help of the Democratic Party. I keep asking myself WHY invent something so easy to check?

The Media and Brock's Internet Trolls ALL broadcast the same reports instantly with remarkably similar phrasing and breathless false claims, with absolute NO supporting evidence. That alone makes me smell a rat.
No violence, no arrests, no injuries, no police reports, no hospital reports, no property damage, no video to support ANY of their manufactured claims = NO RIOT!!!

I am worried that the Clinton Campaign and the Party Bosses will use the Vegas Fabrications to lay the groundwork for a very real and pre-emptive violent suppression of Bernie Supporters at the Convention....
because "we know they are thugs that have a reputation for violence and disruption."
"I mean, we ALL know what happened in Vegas!!!"
(even though in reality, there was nothing to see). The meme has been started, and is being repeated by the Media and the trolls on DU. It has all the earmarks of a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident (the one that didn't happen) to justify pre-emptive violence.


MY Spidey Senses are tingling.

HRC and DWS will find a way to get the Democratic Party to lock Bernie Sanders and his followers out of the convention. This will cause an outcry never seen before in this country.. This will start a fire that will not stop until the convention is over with.

the idea is that they'd raise a stink, have a fit when anyone dared demur, and that'd knock a few points off for the upcoming primary vote/caucus; then the pushback would come, and it'd be after the polls close and on to the next one--from English Only to the auto bailout

Brock's longest commission timeframe was his obscene action against Anita Hill, and that was decades ago

but Clinton's flagging not because they think Sanders and his followers are perfect, but precisely because she's this mudslinging smear-machine-operating status-quotidian

of many tentacles in play. it was extra creepy how they all marched out and chanted the exact same stuff with no evidence. probably coordinated clinton talking points are faxed out to DNC-types and the corporate media every couple of hours, and every last word of it is chanted verbatim.

and this is stuff we can see. since clinton is not bound by laws or rules, the sky's the limit.

Because THAT justifies their running to the right.

Teams and military vehicles in the streets of Philly.

I'm sure the protesters won't be allowed within 3 blocks of the convention either. Remember the idiot-in-chief's "Protest Zones?" Don't believe for one minute that won't go down in Philly at the convention because it will. None of those "elites" will have to be bothered hearing anything from Bernie supporters.

And, yes, Nevada was one of their staged Dog and Pony shows so they could TRY (and failed) to paint Bernie and his supporters as extreme and violent.

We all know it's complete bullshit. There's too many videos on the web! They can't make shit up anymore because we can counter it with TRUTH within minutes. And Barbara Boxer can't LIE about what happened because Nina Turner was there and countered Boxer's LIES...she feared for her life?
Really? What a crock.

fanned the flames.

Instead of showing leadership she belittled Bernie and his supporters. At a Democratic Convention.
If it was a Hillary rally, her remarks would have been appropriate. But this was not a rally.

And now they are trying to silence us, to "scare" us from showing up at the Convention.
Fail! If anything all their comments about the Convention is making more people want to show up.

They're pathetic!

they know hillary is toast. she will either get indicted or be so damaged that no sane person could possibly think to run her in a ge. she cannot be the nominee and they know it.

her minions know its over. their only recourse now is to exact revenge on bernie and his supporters, and to stupidly think they can trash him and stick in biden/warren.

either way, prep for president trump.

when people were claiming that they were "fearful for their lives" and that there was "chair throwing". All manufactured outrage to get others to think that we're a bunch of violent thugs.

I am so glad that Bernie put the People's Summit together. We can get together and work on issues that are important to us and rally together peacefully as we always have. Of course the MSM will ignore it. I just hope that as many show up for it as they will for the Convention.
