So you like Chomsky & bin Laden?

Haven't I been saying the CIA has its own agenda?

Like? No

But I'm aware of the actions of our Govt to allow both of them to flourish

So you believe they're some sort of Deep State/Establishment all by themselves? Weirdo.   

Have you read about the real Dracula?
A ruler in Walachia. Very brutal, yet loved by his people. 

Vlad III, commonly known as Vlad the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Țepeș [ˈvlad ˈtsepeʃ]) or Vlad Dracula (/ˈdrækjələ/; Romanian: Vlad Drăculea [ˈdrəkule̯a]; 1428/31 – 1476/77), was Voivode of Wallachia three times between 1448 and his death in 1476/77. He is often considered one of the most important rulers in Wallachian history and a national hero of Romania

His father was assassinated so he gathered all the noblemen-the boyars-& questioned how many rulers they had lived under. A certain number of rulers meant they had been alive & probably involved in his father's death. The boyars were apparently very cocky, Bragging about how transitory rulers were. When he found those with the proper number, he locked them in & set the place on fire.

That's the CIA. 
Those cocky boyars.

I've heard of Vlad's BBQs before.  

These days the 99% are screaming more about the wealthy people living in castles rather than the aristocracy ruling over them.

In the meantime, Los Angeles law enforcement downplayed the potential of any disruption to the Super Bowl.

TEXT:

As many anti-vaccine and anti-mandate protesters in trucks continue to paralyze Canada’s capital and block border crossings, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he hopes truckers would come to the United States as soon as this weekend to clog up streets in Los Angeles during the Super Bowl or next month to Washington.

Participants in the self-styled “Freedom Convoy” are expected to flood Ottawa for a third straight weekend in what Ontario Premier Doug Ford called a “siege” as he declared a provincial state of emergency. Protesters have also blocked several U.S.-Canada border crossings, affecting industries on both sides of the border.

Yet when Paul was asked about his thoughts on the convoy and the potential for it to spill over into Los Angeles, home of Sunday’s Super Bowl, or into the District, he said “it’d be great” if the anti-mandate demonstrators came to the United States to “clog things up.”

“I’m all for it,” Paul, a longtime opponent to masking and vaccine mandates, told the Daily Signal, a conservative outlet, on Thursday. “Civil disobedience is a time-honored tradition in our country, from slavery to civil rights to you name it. Peaceful protest, clog things up, make people think about the mandates.”

He added, “I hope the truckers do come to America, and I hope they clog up cities.”

A spokesman with the senator’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Saturday. A White House spokesperson pointed to Friday comments from press secretary Jen Psaki about how the Department of Homeland Security is working with the California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles Police Department and other authorities across California to help respond to any potential protests at the Super Bowl. Psaki noted that while the administration believes in peaceful protests, any potential intentions from truckers to clog up the roads could “have a huge impact on workers and the American public.”

The convoy, which started as a protest of U.S. and Canadian rules requiring truckers crossing the border to be fully vaccinated, has disrupted Ottawa as part of a broader movement against mandates. Protests have blockaded notable U.S.-Canada border crossings, such as the Ambassador Bridge, a key trade corridor linking Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, and inspired similar protests abroad.

The threat of truckers potentially clogging up U.S. roads was elevated on Tuesday when the Department of Homeland Security distributed a bulletin to law enforcement agencies. The DHS warned that a convoy of protesting truckers will potentially begin in California as early as mid-February and arrive in D.C. as late as mid-March, according to a copy of the bulletin obtained by The Washington Post. The agency noted that truckers from Canada may potentially join the convoy as it travels east.

The bulletin highlighted how the convoy would potentially affect Sunday’s Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., featuring the hometown Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. It also warned how D.C. was a possible destination in March before Biden’s first State of the Union address to Congress.

“While there are currently no indications of planned violence, if hundreds of trucks converge in a major metropolitan city, the potential exists to severely disrupt transportation, federal government operations, commercial facilities, and emergency services through gridlock and potential counterprotests,” the memo said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has played down a potential trucker convoy disrupting the Super Bowl, telling Insider there is no “legitimacy” to the threat.

Paul has been a vocal opponent of pandemic-related mandates and has described the mask guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as “anti-science.” In August, as the delta variant sent case numbers and hospitalizations soaring, he denounced health mandates against the virus. The senator from Kentucky — who has fashioned himself as the Senate’s chief skeptic of Anthony S. Fauci, the country’s top infectious-disease doctor — urged people to resist the regulations implemented by health experts and elected officials to help prevent the spread of covid.

“They can’t arrest all of us,” Paul said at the time.

Paul’s feelings toward the trucker convoy are much different than his sentiments about Black Lives Matter protests in recent years. After a crowd of D.C. protesters in 2020 yelled at Paul to say the name of Breonna Taylor, who was shot by police in Louisville, the senator claimed his “life was in danger” and denounced Black Lives Matter demonstrators as a “crazed mob.” The Republican also called on the FBI to investigate the incident featuring protesters that President Donald Trump described at the time as “thugs,” according to Reuters.

The senator’s mention of slavery in backing the “civil disobedience” of the truckers was met with blowback from Charles Booker, a Democratic candidate for Paul’s Senate seat, who called the Republican’s words “destructive, intentional, and completely unacceptable.”

Paul acknowledged to the Daily Signal this week that while he didn’t know what effect a trucker convoy would have on D.C., he supported any potential efforts anyway.

“It’d be nice change,” he said. “We’d actually have some traffic.”

Weird.......or expected..........how differently people view these events, huh? Are we all guilty of it?

I'll just take notice that the FBI has seemingly been extremely vigilant in tracking down and charging people from Jan 6 ........many who weren't even IN the building (like Kamala) and yet they've been detained for how long now? ........while those many many riots didn't appear to result in anywhere close to the same percentage of arrests?

As far as I'm concerned, the CIA and FBI can both be tossed as they're clearly just as corrupt as other agencies.

It was around 800 last I heard, dude.

But that truth is inconvenient to your victimhood of the right. You need to believe no one has been arrested for the 2020 rioting while thousands have been arrested for January 6th to feed your sense of martyrdom.

I did not support the protests.

Of 96 cases the U.S. attorney’s office in Portland filed last year charging protesters with federal crimes, including assaulting federal officers, civil disorder, and failing to obey, prosecutors have dropped 47 of them, government documents show. Ten people have pleaded guilty to related charges and two were ordered detained pending trial. None have gone to trial.

The penalties levied so far against any federal defendants, most of whom were arrested in clashes around federal buildings in Portland including the courthouse, have largely consisted of community service, such as working in a food bank or encouraging people to vote.

More than half of the around 30 so-called deferred resolution deals, in which prosecutors ask the court to drop cases once defendants complete volunteer work, were initiated last fall under the Trump administration, interviews and a review of cases shows. Prosecutors have continued to pursue such deals under President Biden

So Portland-hippie heaven-did diversion in which charges are dropped if the person does something-volunteer work, etc. 

In juvenile here in the 90s the kids had to write a teport on the evils of pot & collect a certain amount of recycling & it never hit their record.

Initiated under Donnie.

It's what DAs do with people with no priors to funnel them through the system as fast as they can.

Did you catch that prank caller doing his bit with the Portland city council? Claiming how great it was to hang out homeless and do drugs all day in their area? 

That Just Say NO campaign sure was successful.      Did you catch Snoop doing drugs right before his performance yesterday?

Man with 44 prior arrests charged with multiple felonies for brutal assault of Thai model on NYC subway
Carl Samson    Mon, February 14, 2022, 5:42 PM

Warning: This article contains descriptions of violence some readers may find disturbing.

A man has been charged in connection with a vicious attack that left a 23-year-old Thai model with a bloodied face in New York City last November.

The incident, which was caught on surveillance video, occurred on the 34th Street-Herald Square subway platform at around 4 a.m. on Nov. 22.

The victim, Bew Jirajariyawetch, was waiting for a train home when someone grabbed her from behind, dragged her along the platform, punched her in the face and took off with her wallet.

What does this have to do with the Superbowl 3 months later?

You think if she had a gun in her purse like you promote the attacker could have taken it from her, could he not?

It was 4AM.

You want cops protecting all the women 24 hours a day? Won't that get expensive?

Douglas, however, has been in police custody since Nov. 22, when he was arrested just hours after he allegedly attacked Jirajariyawetch — for a separate crime he allegedly committed in Jamaica. Police were only able to connect him with the subway incident last week.

Records show Douglas has been arrested 44 times for crimes dating back to 1997. He was even arrested a record 16 time in a single day on May 13, 2019, according to the New York Post.

I have clients booked as "not fit for jail " & re-booked.

But 16 arrests in 1 day doesn't sound possible, does it?
Wouldn't they just keep him in jail?

What Is the Difference Between Decriminalization and Legalization?
Oregon is one of several states that have legalized marijuana for medical and adult recreational uses. Oregon is the first state to legalize psilocybin for therapy and decriminalize the possession of drugs like heroin and cocaine for personal use (see below). Some people mistakenly use the terms decriminalization and legalization interchangeably, but the two differ in important ways.
