Where I see this current riot agenda heading? Near to the script of the 28 July 1932 Bonus Army Riot. So let me lay out the whole story.
When WW I ended, the political folks (from both parties) felt that some bonus needed to be handed all the GI's who participated in the war. However, they just didn't have the money there in 1924 to hand the GI's.
The amount? Well....this was devised in some ways as a 'insurance' type service award. As long as you were on duty for some part of 5 April 1917 and 1 July 1919 (note, the war really ended on 11 November 1918)....you were going to be awarded $1 for each day served in the US and $1.25 for each day overseas. I should note, the maximum amount you could earn was $500 (figure in the range of $7k in today's money).....for folks in the US, and $625 for overseas people.
So here was the curious twist to this....a $50 check was issued immediately, but the rest of this....wasn't going to be paid out until 20 years had passed. In effect, it was designed as a insurance policy. So around 1944/1945.....this money would be paid out.
1929 and the stock market crash would come, and by the end of 1931.....a lot of hype had occurred with disgruntled GI's being told via various news outlets that something would be done to issue out the $500 to $625. Various characters (more than 10,000) had gathered in camps on the east end of DC in the spring. What they expected was that the Democrats would find the votes, and push back against President Hoover.
The week of 20 July 1932 came, and the Senate couldn't get the deal done. Riots were starting up and various threats were issued. DC had no real police to handle this.
What Hoover ended up doing was calling up General MacArthur, and a Army effort was made to push the riot folks out of town. This 'battle' went on for several hours, with pictures taken and a lot of negativity.
Folks can discuss at length the plan by MacArthur, and the use of federal troops to end the mess, but it basically ended Hoover's chances at the election there in November. The news media took the negative reports, and the images, and made a easy deal to sell a replacement agenda to the public.
In this case now.....I think an enormous battle plan is brewing for DC, and they hope that Trump will call for federal troops to be used.....thus repeating the 1932 scenario.

Baseball Chatter
For the past two months, MLB (Major League Baseball) has been trying to work up an alternate season deal. So the 'big' deal was offer roughly ten days ago by the clubs.
It would amount to a 82-game season, and a pay scale set to that (roughly half of your normal pay, since half the games are gone).
Several clubs admit it's going to be tough to profit from the season but this is the most workable deal existing.
So over the weekend, the players union came back....NO, that deal won't work.
Their alternate deal? They want a higher percentage of the salary deal, and 114 games on the schedule.
As you gaze at the calendar....to make the 114 games work, you'd need the World Series to occur right around Thanksgiving, and probably end two or three days after turkey-day.
I just sat there and started laughing.
Temperature and weather for October was already 'crappy'. To suggest that this would continue on into November and even be baseball happening (possibly in NY City) in the weekend after Thanksgiving? That's a joke.
You can imagine cities like Detroit, or Denver, or Washington DC....with games in November. A light snow falling?
What'll happen? The owners will meet and just have a good laugh and say 'no'....the season ends on schedule.
The odds of baseball not being played in 2020? At this point, I give it a 40-percent chance that no baseball will occur, and a bunch of players will be in serious debt issues by spring of 2021.

Antifa and the 'Path'
So onto the topics of the day:
1. The basic script
I think for a couple of months, since the Impeachment failed....this 'script' moved up from talking stages, to active stages.
The agenda revolves around three essential elements: (1) unite blacks around a Democratic candidate (not essentially Biden)....thus avoiding the idea of 40-percent of blacks voting for Trump. (2) Demonstrate hopelessness for blacks getting a fair deal (even if a dozen-odd George Floyd's are killed weekly in Chicago by non-police). (3) Bring revolution 'success' back into the college scene and show 'power' to attract new kids and recruits.
2. Biden's VP
At this point, it's obvious....it has to be a black female, and must be identified as a person to bring peace, tranquility and non-violence. Basically a female Barack Obama-character. About two weeks after the convention, Joe will admit health issues (maybe a fake heart condition, or maybe admit his dementia). The VP will move up, and a second 'peace-maker' will be brought in.
3. What Antifa didn't anticipate?
Well....blacks were kinda shocked that these young white folks (maybe guys) showed up.....got all hyped-up and violent, and started fires. The fact that they burned down places that were establishments in black communities? Nope, they didn't really grasp that.
The fact that they burned black businesses? No, they didn't grasp that.
The white 'thugs' didn't listen to black leaders, and seemed to have an agenda already in mind.
The news folks who told the story that this was peaceful-Antifa? That worked for maybe 24 hours.....then that message didn't pass the 'smell-test'. Even blacks started to ask stupid questions.
The news media flipping on the Antifa brand, and saying these folks aren't real Antifia....they are fake-Antifa, who seem to be led by white supremacy folks, KKK-members, Russians, and Chinese authorities.
4. The Hollywood crowd?
They came out and chatted about the tens of thousands they gave to bail out the protest folks. The problem here....if the media message is correct, they are bailing out white supremacy people and KKK-members. So Hollywood is supporting the KKK? Hmmm, that suggests some serious problems.
5. Where this goes?
First, some journalists are going to figure into the Antifa business, and the DoJ will figure out cash 'gifts' given to them over the past couple of years. Some brand-name news organizations will be asked about their employees and if the manaagers were aware of $10,000 gifts. The odds that the 'gifts' were reported to the IRS? Zero chance.....so that's going to require some tax attorney work, and fines to be issued.
Some colleges will be approached by the DoJ and asked about members of their staff. Big name lawyers will be dragged out to defend far left professors and their 'standing' within the college will be challenged.
Hundreds of parents will get a call from 'Billy' and 'Wanda'. They seem to be in trouble....needing $20k in lawyer help, and won't talk about what the issue is. When it's finally laid out.....Antifa....Dad will ask what the hell they were thinking. Some of these kids will be getting 90 days in jail (the lucky ones)....while others get several years.
6. Black mistrust?
Once the smoke has cleared, and business owners state their intent NOT to rebuild....a bunch of questions will rise over urbanized communities. Blacks will suggest that allowing white thugs into the community was their mistake. Trust in local prosecutors will drain, as the DoJ handles the majority of cases. Some lines of support will be drawn from Antifa to local city council people.....triggering a very harsh reaction by the public.
7. How long will the Antifa investigation continue?
Even at the end of 2021....I don't think the investigation will have wrapped up. For some, this may still be a lawyer situation for three or more years.

Riot Observations
1. No one much talks about it, but the way that George Floyd got into the first bit of his issue....was at the store, with the use of a counterfeit $20. The storekeeper said 'no', and basically walked out with whatever he was buying. Where'd the twenty come from? Unknown.
I knew someone from a decade ago who'd gone to a bank for their pocket money for the month, and the bank slipped them a fake twenty, which came up almost immediately as they tried to pay gas they'd bought. Bank would not acknowledge this. I knew another guy who done some deal at a flea market and was given a couple of twentys for whatever they sold, and two of the twentys were later deemed fake.
Did George know it were counterfeit? No way to tell. It would be interesting to know the rest of the contents of George's billfold, but I doubt if this will go to far.
2. This continued commentary about right-wing KKK members being in the middle of the riots? It's about the most laughable joke possible. Real KKK folks would wear the hoods, burn crosses, and wave confederate flags.
People who wear black clothing? Antifa.
3. All these structures burnt to the ground? Odds of rebuilding? In the middle of a likely two-year recession? No. I'd take the insurance money, and just walk away. Let the real estate people figure out some loser-deal to handle the property.
For the jobs lost? Presently, I'd be guessing that a minimum of 100,000 jobs lost, and will probably get up into the 500,000 range in the next couple of days.
4. NY City police arrested some dimwit young gal....for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a police vehicle (4 cops inside). The city DA? It's going to be tough to avoid attempted-murder charges on the gal, and just let her walk away. The police? They will watch this develop, and probably lay down a card or two. This dimwit? She's looking at a minimum of three years in prison....over what? The sister? She was with the dimwit and will get charges as well. The parents? I'm guessing they are looking for a lawyer, and figuring a minimum of $50,000 to defend the two idiots. Paying off the police union? I hate to suggest it, but a hundred-thousand donation might turn the trick.
5. You look through the videos and the one obvious thing missing? Latinos. You don't see any Latinos.
6. From the G-20 Conference in Hamburg, Germany back in the summer of 2017. There's this odd moment that occurs.....some protest folks are throwing bricks at cops, and the cops charge them.....grabbing a couple. So this one guy stands out....no ID and uncooperative. An ID is eventually made. He's a German policeman. So the question was asked....was he a undercover cop? No, and he's not even from the region.
This was a young policeman who could not explain his participation or his violent act. Nothing ever got said after that point. Charges? Unknown. Termination from his job, unknown.
So when some idiots suggest that undercover cops are part of the riots in the US.....I might go and ask to identify them, and if they have Antifa tendencies.

Explaining the 1807 Insurrection Act
Passed in 1807....it gives the President the opportunity to deploy active-duty military troops (from within the US)...to put down rebellion and insurrection.
So in effect, President Trump could go and deploy 10,000 military personnel into Minneapolis.
Now, I won't say this is a positive thing, and it's very likely to trigger a Kent State event.
Back in 2006, the wording to this Act was re-worked. It was to include natural disasters (like hurricanes). At that point, most people figured for most all future uses....it'd be in times of flood or hurricanes.

The Rest of the Script
After watching the riot video this morning....particularly of the CNN HQ's in downtown Atlanta, I will offer up the rest of the script (compliments of the Antifa crowd):
1. Stacey Abrams is now locked in as the Biden VP.
2. Abrams will appear by late Sunday in Atlanta, and deliver a live nationwide 'we must come together' speech via CNN. The CNN crowd will proclaim her as the 'peace-maker' and the unification candidate. At least forty black known figures will be in the background behind her.
The speech given....will be one of the 'ages'....where peace and tranquility will be uttered over and over.
Fifty percent of all blacks will be laughing over the fakeness of the speech.
3. The riot business will halt at this magically 'halt'. Antifa team members will quietly and quickly leave the scene.
4. Somewhere in the three weeks after the Democratic convention....Biden will announce his health issues, and Stacey moves to be the candidate.
5. The Republican convention? At this point, with riot potential and Antifa in the background.....it's doubtful that it will occur.
6. The possibility that the FBI will put Antifa on a domestic terror list? They will fight the Justice Department on this, but will be forced to do it. Junior FBI personnel will admit that they've felt like this this for five years.

More Minneapolis Observations
I spent an hour this morning looking at new riot video from Minneapolis. So more observations:
1. I expect this weekend, at least forty cities across the nation will see more riots in their region, and cars/buildings will be torched. Cops will be told to more or less stand down. Fire departments will refuse to act because of a lack of protection.
2. The National Guard getting called out? So at this point, the suggestion is that they are there to escort the fire department folks to the fires, and protect them. The chief question....will they be armed and able to respond? Are we re-creating another Kent-State mess?
3. I don't see the majority of police in Minneapolis staying. Just me suggesting this, but I wouldn't be shocked to see 50-percent gone by late summer.
4. Covid-19 eruption in ten days in Minneapolis? It wouldn't surprise me if you see a 100-percent increase in infections, and ride out a second wave in the state for the next four weeks.
5. The fact that the policeman accused of the murder....had been written up on a number of violent episodes in the past? Well, this finally got brought up. Here's the thing....back in the very beginning when episodes came up....the DA in Minneapolis was current US Senator...Amy Klobuchar. Yes, kinda interesting. What'd she do with the investigations? Nothing. Why? No one says much...I'm guessing that the police union suggested that she drop the potential charges. This guy should have been let go back a decade ago, but nothing ever occurred.
6. People getting armed to protect their businesses? Well...the area affected so far is Southwest Minneapolis. This is the lesser end of the city. I would suggest that as the riot folks finished up burning structures there....then they will move to mid-town and the southeast part of the city. There, they might end up meeting with armed counter-riot people, and you might end up seeing a dozen folks dead in just one evening.
7. Eventually, Trump is going to turn to the FBI and ask why is Antifa in the middle of this, and you do nothing? The goofballs at the FBI will then look at the working-level FBI folks....who've been telling this for five years minimum, and some harsh criticism will erupt from the junior FBI guys to the management folks.
8. Trump threatening to send the National Guard? Here's the thing....this threat is simply open. The governor, the mayor and the city council....will be smiling and happy to let this happen. But Trump might go an entire month without moving to the next step. How many many buildings and cars burn by that point? He's going to make you guys look highly stupid, and have people literally begging for Trump to take charge.
9. The more I watch this murder tape, with the cop looking straight at the camera....I'm convinced the dude is drugged up (referring to the cop). I don't think he has any idea over what he's doing.
10. Finally, another story popped up....that for roughly 17 years....the dead guy and the cop....worked at a particular restaurant in town...together. If true, it just begs more questions.
