These guys remind me of "A Clockwork Orange," which is terrifying.

1. This shit should be exposed.

[bullwinkle428]

4. Gov. Walz of Minnesota is already saying he's going to name and shame these individuals.

[DeminPennswoods]

12. Frey said that a day or two ago

That when he and others talked to community leaders and members they were told that there were protestors/rioters that the community leaders/members did not recognize or know.

[eleny]

39. A good counterpoint to Barr's saying they were the far left

I'm waiting to see them identified as right wing provocateurs.

[uponit7771]

8. +1

[still_one]

2. There is definitely crap going on that has nothing to do with Civil Rights and the

murder of George Floyd

[iluvtennis]

18. indeed. these white supremacists are using the George Floyd protests as "cover" for their nefarious

actions to sow division and deem black/brown ppl as the destroyers of communities.

[still_one]

27. well said

[UncleTomsEvilBrother]

3. SMH....

We still have to remember, though, that NONE of this would have happened if that those racist cops would not have murdered those Black people.

Are people on the wrong side instigating this stuff, yes. That's the very nature of chaos, though.


We need to get to the core of the problem, and our silence probably won't save us this time.

[jaxexpat]

15. The core of the problem....

is the rotten part of the human soul. Just follow your nose, you'll recognize it. Judging by color is just not accurate enough.

[spicysista]

5. Yes! Please continue to post type of reporting!

The more people to see this, the better. I hope a major news outlet catches wind of this soon so that the issue can be lifted for the body public. It's dangerous and it's shameful. It absolutely is white supremacy.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Geez, and just to think if those black protesters were armed, they could have protected

those storefronts, 'cuz when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

[bigtree]

7. the real story behind the violence

...outside agitators have been at almost every significant uprising, often the police, themselves, enmeshed with the crowds.

9. "..., often the police" 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽

[Eyeball_Kid]

10. There's a wink and a nod from the White House.

They love this stuff. Civil unrest is their ticket to martial law, and the nullification of the coming elections. So they're silently approving of the agent provocateurs' violence that they can then attribute to minority protestors. It's been done before. Many times before.

Trumpy's INTENT is to foment violent outbreaks. Remember, Trumpy's strength is CHAOS. He knows chaos like nobody else does. Violence is his Trump card. He'll go balls to the wall to turn the nation into a war zone.

Where's the GOP? Where are the GOP voices of moderation? HELLO???

Oh, I get it. The Republican Party approves of Trumpy's tactics AND his strategy. THEY also want civil unrest. They also are fine with more death. Under Trumpy, THAT'S WHO THEY ARE.

[Solomon]

11. Trump's very fine people.

[Botany]

13. Are they on the Trump/Russia/Roger Stone payroll?

And with Barr as the head of the DoJ they are protected too. This is beyond crazy.
This is right out of Hitler's Reichstag Fire.

[CottonBear]

19. Black guest on CNN just talked about Russian distraction campaigns using agent provocateurs. N/T

[Botany]

21. People need to go to prison for "this stuff."

And just this morning Trump was tweeting about "professional agitators" being in the
crowd by the White House. The mother fucker knows this shit is being whipped up by
certain elements. And here we have Bill Barr giving the operation cover too. This is
straight out of Joe Stalin/Pol Pot/Hitler's playbook. And don't forget that Vlad Daddy
was a KGB agent.

[CottonBear]

23. Our country is being destroyed by Russia and GOP.

Every single fucking day that Trump is in office is worse than the one before.
This is a nightmare scenario. The Russians and the GOP always use a crisis as an opportunity to further their evil goals.

[Botany]

35. I might be wrong but I think Trump/Russia are using

.. the C-19 pandemic in order to destroy America as we once knew it. Trump doesn't give a shit about all the deaths, disease, and economic meltdown. He and Kushner knew about C-19 by November of '19 and what did they do? Looked to make money off it and to use it for their political advantage.

Listen to Fox News and die.

[CottonBear]

36. I agree with you. I hope they fail and that we vote them out in Nov. N/T

[Hekate]

14. I've been calling him President Clockwork Orange for some weeks now. The last line of the OP...

Someone else seems to have noticed a connection.

[CottonBear]

16. On CNN, Wolf Blitzer is expressing shock that there could be agent provocateurs at protests.

He’s on live on CNN right now and he’s been acting shocked that there could be agent provocateurs from outside of the cities where there are protests. He’s just pushing the RW/GOP line that it’s the fault of scary black people.

[The Mouth]

17. EVERY protest here in the bay area

these same assholes try to turn violent. I had the pleasure of watching the organizers of a protest shut them down once. I am not sure if they are genuine agents provocateurs or just punks who like to smash shit, or some combination thereof.

[Brother Buzz]

30. Genuine agents provocateurs and punks are not mutually exclusive

Just saying.

[The Mouth]

34. Yep, that's why I said 'or some combination..'

The exact make up and motivation(s) would be quite interesting to find out, eh?

[DBoon]

37. Combining the two gives the provocateurs cover, too

[The Mouth]

40. That's my guess

A few useful idiots, who can even be sacrificed if people become too suspicious without risking having the actual professionals exposed, are tacitly or overtly encouraged.

We have them up here (Sonoma County ) every time there's a protest; white punks from probably Berekely or the bay area, trying to start shit; fortunately, the protests up here are usually well organized, through churches or community groups, rather than just assembling a bunch of pissed off people, with is a damned good recipe for disaster without planning, coordination, and control.

Everyone 'gets' why people are protesting (well, anyone without their head up their ass), but without planning and coordination, some sort of crowd security, it's like creating a giant petri dish for exactly these assholes to fuck everything up

[Brother Buzz]

42. Speaking of cover

It appears the Agent Provocateurs like to operated in the cover of darkness. To wit: LA's protest was peaceful enough yesterday until it got dark, then the fucking anarchist provocateurs mysteriously descended, like flies on a turd, and turned it into a shit show.

[relayerbob]

20. SAw that in Atlanta's coverage also

[IronLionZion]

22. If they're not cops, then cops should arrest these individuals

instead of CNN reporters and shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at peaceful protesters who are not committing any crimes.

Cops leaving them alone makes it look like they are cops.

[The Mouth]

41. Notice the footwear

Someone here once clued me in- look at those police 'tactical' boots, lots of them are just a bit too daring, too much upright bearing... It stinks

[StarryNite]

24. Creating chaos

[orleans]

25. k&r n/t

[Thekaspervote]

26. Think Steve bannon, dotard, Susan sarandon this is what they want!

[moondust]

28. Keith Ellison says he has pictures.

And they're going to use them to identify the anarchists/hoodlums/agents provocateurs (in MPLS).

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE-UPS!!!

[oldsoftie]

33. GOOOD

[kentuck]

29. Were any of them wearing red hats?

Who are these people?

[erronis]

31. They were waiting for a signal from the WH. "OK, boys - be good patriods - the best!"

trump is just a messenger for the people who want to control the US.

he's been paid well for his service but I expect his final outcome won't be all that pleasant.

If we allow this to happen our next overlords won't be as beneficent as the "Founding Farmers".

[oldsoftie]

32. Look exactly like the ANTIFA thugs who are always inciting trouble.

Dressed the same, young & white.

These arent "Proud Boys". Those guys are old & fat

[rockfordfile]

38. No they look like little right-wing pos

[oldsoftie]

45. The right wingers dress like commandos they wish they could be. These are antifa punks

The same types show up at any protest with one goal; anarchy. They dont care about movements or GOOD activism.

[SpaceNeedle]

43. Antifa is a false flag operation of Breitbart types

to make progressives look bad and to give cover to their Charlottesville type shenanigans.

I don't think a single Antifa member is likely to be a progressive.

[JustGene]

46. This Must Be Called Out Constantly

It was not for a long time last night, at least while I was watching, on MSNBC.
