That was quite a week, was it not?
Not since 911 have I been so transfixed by the news of the day. I have to admit, I got hooked on Twitter watching the reports come in of the rioting last Sunday night. It was the Lord’s Day, and I try not to get caught up in that sort of thing, but I just could not put my phone down.
When I sat down to outline this post yesterday and came up with nineteen subpoints, I knew this was going to be a hard post to write. Don’t worry. I’m not planning on inflicting that much on you. But still, there’s so much to say. Where to begin?
Let’s start with this…
Who’s Paying for the Bricks?
There were numerous reports last week claiming that pallets of bricks were being staged near the riot areas. The best report I’ve found so far is from NBC News New York. The headline reads “NYPD’s Terrorism Official Says Unnamed Groups Planned Protest Violence in Advance.” According to the article, “New York’s top terrorism official says there’s strong evidence that members of anarchist groups from outside the city intentionally planned to incite violence at protests calling for justice in the death of George Floyd.”
The official went on to state that, “there is a high of confidence within the NYPD that these unnamed groups had organized scouts, medics and supply routes of rocks, bottles and accelerants for breakaway groups to commit vandalism and violence. There are strong indicators they planned for violence in advance using at times encrypted communications”… the agitators, “developed a complex network of bicycle scouts to move ahead of demonstrators in different directions of where police were and where police were not for purposes of being able to direct groups from the larger group to places where they could commit acts of vandalism including the torching of police vehicles and Molotov cocktails where they thought officers would not be.”
So who do the New York police think was organizing and paying for all this illicit activity? No one has yet said publicly. Mayor Bill de Blasio seemed to hint that more information would be forthcoming. I’ll believe it when I see it. For my part, I think we’ll find out who was funding and organizing Antifa terrorism about the same time as we get an honest account of what happened to Jeffrey Epstein, what dirt he had on which masters of the universe, or where Ghislaine Maxwell is hiding. That is to say, the twelfth of never.
One interesting suggestion came in a tweet from forensic accountant Charles Ortel. He suggests George Soros, the Obama Foundation, and the Clinton Foundation. I’ve seen Ortel in interviews before and he struck me as a serious fellow, not someone given to hyperbole, so I don’t dismiss his accusations out of hand.
