It’s called setting up a false choice. Meaning when the situation presents itself the criminal politicians will exploit it for their advantage through action/inaction, selected enforcement of obscure local ordinances, outright threats and acts of intimidation. It’s all part of the old Hegelian Dialectic. Create a problem, spread the pain then offer a solution. It works fine for the Statists. Not so well for US.

On to the story.

Chances are you watched Ferguson, MO. burn. Maybe you even saw approaching fire trucks stop and turn back a few blocks from the fire location because of shots fired. At that point, you probably started wondering where was the National Guard we all heard was called up.

Maybe you learned later, after sections of Ferguson were giving off the Dresden vibe, the Missouri Lieutenant Governor accused the federal government apparatchik of ordering the NG to sit this one out; effectively and unmistakably signaling to their perpetually angry dream team the message ‘burn, baby, burn’. And the city burned.

Well, a lot of the city burned. Did you see the armed shop owners protecting their tattoo parlor and gun store? Those shops didn’t burn.

…Gutierrez, Weinstein and their group arrived to find thieves tearing through a Dollar General in the same strip mall that houses their business. Weinstein says the looters attempted moving toward the shop, but were scared off by the guns. Then the police arrived.

“There were like two SWAT vans, two dozen cop cars,” said one woman. The cops apparently checked out the situation and then tore off to some other crisis...

You can’t argue with success, right?

Actually, it’s done quite a bit by the federal government. Particularly when the federales can detect something other than self-interest is disrupting their fire sale.

You see, just a few days before the rioting, Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers organization, put out a call for volunteers to go down to Ferguson. The local Oath Keeper leader saw the need that business owners had for armed support and who better than Oath Keepers experienced in dealing with urban violence? He contacted the national office and the word went out.

The volunteers headed to Ferguson and wound up on the roof of a strip mall. They were protecting not only the structure but the people who lived over the businesses. At first, things went well for them. The strip mall was spared and the local police appreciated their help. But after a few days, the federales arrived and began their campaign against the Oath Keepers evident success at keeping the dreamers from destroying the strip mall. After all, there was still a chance the riot could resume.

As reported by the Oath Keepers present, the federales campaign included setting up sniper teams on neighboring roof tops and pointing their weapons at the Oath Keepers. They were also describing the Oath Keepers as domestic terrorists.
