The US Attorney for the Oregon District called for an investigation into masked, camouflaged federal agents without identification who have arrested Black Lives Matter protesters and hauled them into unmarked vans - prompting outrage from local officials who've repeatedly ask officer leave the state.
The investigation request by US Attorney Billy Williams comes as volatile clashes between federal agents and civilians escalate on the 50th night of protests in the city.
The concerning reports coming out of Portland have sparked tension between President Trump and Oregon officials, who have repeatedly blamed any bloodshed on him after he deployed federal agents without their consent.

Tensions in Portland have undoubtedly escalated with the arrival of federal agents from the US Department of Homeland Security, deployed under the Trump administration over what they perceive as a lack of leadership and law enforcement in the city.

And the actions of federal agents, who aren't required to follow local policing restrictions, have prompted the American Civil Liberties Union to sue the Department of Homeland Security.

But even so, protesters aren't backing down and have created their own autonomous zone called 'CLAT,' or Chinook Land Autonomous Territory across the street from the federal justice center.

Williams on Friday said that he called for an investigation after circulating reports showed unidentified federal agents arresting two Black Lives Matter protesters without probable cause.

'Based on news accounts circulating that allege federal law enforcement detained two protesters without probable cause, I have requested the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General to open a separate investigation directed specifically at the actions of DHS personnel,' wrote Williams in the shocking statement.

Video of the masked agents was shared by Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, who condemned the alleged actions in a tweet and furthered his attack against the Trump administration.

In the footage, two federal agents wearing camouflage briskly walk towards two protesters on a desolate Portland street this week.

'What are you doing? Use your words,' the camera woman says, as other nearby witnesses question what the agents are doing,

The camera pans to show a protester, dressed in all black and wearing a face mask, with his hands up in the air.

The comments listed at the bottom of the quoted article here are on the right track. The Portland mayor is weak and panders to the left; Antifa has been allowed to rampage unchecked for years. The Oregon governor is an NPC (non-player character, a meme). FWIW, I am not a conservative (nor a leftist), and I live 10 minutes from the center of this sh!tshow.

Upon more reflection, I've decided that BLM is, from what I've gathered it is not:

  • Black lives matter
  • But not all black lives matter
  • White lives especially don't matter
  • No police
  • Unless BLM is the police
  • All statues are racist and bad, especially those of men or women whom in their time helped in a major way to defeat slavery and/or segregation
  • Elk statues are the most racist and vile
  • Statues of men who actually were slave traders and advocated for a world dominated by a strict and unforgiving hierarchy can remain because BLM isn't sure who they are anyway and are having a difficult time identifying the credentials
  • Looting, shooting, and otherwise disorderly conduct are effective, especially when employed against already marginalized people of your own ethnic group
  • You don't get to define what BLM stands for, BLM does, only they aren't quite sure themselves and if you ask different people you'll get different answers
Did I miss anything???

Good Lord! This seems to be an echoing of George Orwell's "Animal Farm". I suppose the Covid-19 response is copying "1984"? It's amazing that George Orwell was so culturally percipient and relevant to current events, in the mid to late 1940s.
 
And this is how things are done in a peaceful and clever way, while confronting ignorance, bravo Maria Rutenburg! :-D

Redwood City Scrubs Black Lives Matter Mural After Trump Supporter Asks to Paint 'MAGA 2020' on Same Street

Redwood City Scrubs Black Lives Matter Mural After Trump Supporter Asks to Paint ‘MAGA 2020’ on Same Street

REDWOOD CITY (KPIX) — Many communities across the country are displaying “Black Lives Matter” street murals. Redwood City was one of them until last week when the city quietly removed it.

Redwood City resident Dan Pease got permission from city officials to paint the “Black Lives Matter” sign on Broadway as part of a Fourth of July public art celebration. The city even supplied him with yellow poster board paint to do it.

“Because we were using the poster board paint that would eventually deteriorate over time, my understanding from them was that the mural would last as long as the paint lasted,” Pease explained.

But, last Thursday, the city washed the sign away after being contacted by local real estate attorney Maria Rutenburg, who said that if the street was now a public forum, she wanted a sign of her own reading “MAGA 2020.”

“I saw “Black Lives Matter” sign appearing on Broadway Street on the asphalt and I figured that’s gonna be a new public space, open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out, too.” Rutenburg said.

“MAGA” is, of course, short for Make America Great Again, a rallying cry for supporters of President Trump. Faced with the possibility of a political and/or legal fight, the city suddenly decided that Dan Pease’s sign was a traffic hazard that might cause accidents and they removed it in the middle of the night. Pease says he doesn’t consider “Black Lives Matter” to be a political statement but he understands the position the city was in.

“I have no hard feelings to the city council,” Pease said. “I am disappointed but, at the same time, I am very grateful that they allowed me to put that message on Broadway.”

Today, with the streets of Redwood City cleansed of dangerous thoughts, area resident Art Elola was also disappointed that, in today’s climate, a city cannot express the idea that Black lives matter without starting a fight.

“They’re afraid, you know? And that’s the whole movement — is we’ve been afraid to do what’s right,” Elola said. “The whole crux of the movement is be bold and let’s do the right thing and here they’re setting an example and it’s unfortunate. It’s unfortunate other people put the pressure on them, too.”

Police consider dropping terms 'Islamist terror' or 'jihadi'

Alternatives suggested include 'faith-claimed terrorism', 'terrorists abusing religious motivations' and 'adherents of Osama bin Laden's ideology.'

Police consider dropping terms 'Islamist terror' or 'jihadi' because they 'don't help community relations'

Police are considering dropping the terms 'Islamist terror' and 'jihadi' because they 'don't help community relations.'
Alternatives suggested include 'faith-claimed terrorism', 'terrorists abusing religious motivations' and 'adherents of Osama bin Laden's ideology,' The Times reported.

A Muslim police organisation claimed today's official terminology fuelled negative perceptions, stereotypes, discrimination and Islamophobia.
The issue was put forward at an online conference which was addressed by Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the head of counter-terrorism policing.

The police told The Times that changes to the phraseology were not certain.
Attacks such as the London bombings of 2005 as well as the Westminster, London Bridge and Manchester Arena assaults, all in 2017, have been officially deemed 'Islamist terrorism.'

The issue was put forward at an online conference which was addressed by Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the head of counter-terrorism policing.
But the 3,000-strong National Association of Muslim Police advocated 'a change in culture by moving away from using terms which have a direct link to Islam and jihad. These ... do not help community relations and public confidence.'

It instead suggested an Arabic word, 'Irhabi,' could be deployed.
It is used throughout the Middle East to describe those with extremist views.
The group said that the word 'jihad' was complicated by its figurative meaning of the 'struggle' of being faithful, as well as being used to to denote self-defence in the context of a physical struggle.

But David Toube, of Quilliam, a counter-extremism think tank, told The Times: 'People do not like to feel that they are being told only the partial truth ... there is a serious problem with Islamist terrorism.

'The use of any term that obscures that fact risks damaging public trust in the police.'

One good thing, which crosses my mind often these days, about this whole mess of all the wrongs of our society collapsing down on us recently, through the paradigm of absurds- is how all the abuse I've suffered as a child puts things now into a perspective. ALL the tactics used on us now are the same as the ones a child/young victim goes through in a corrupt family life, or while being abused by some other authoritative figure. The silencing of our voices, interrupting our ability to think clearly through emotional shocks and physical aggression, inserting the opposites of normal and natural as a 'new normal' through inverted logic, playing on all of our honest and good emotions as a tool to get us to either comply to this 'new reality' or go crazy, having a great fun while provoking our natural defense systems, even when we are not sure what are we fighting against, only to make a point of us being irrational, delusional, aggressive and just all together wrong! Wrong about everything and wrong all the time, until we accept this new, 'better reality' of complete inability to think/do for ourselves.

I know it's quite an obvious observation and it's been well studied here from all the different angels, but living in these times right now, just brings it back home on the very personal level for me, and probably for a lot of you here. Seeing this dynamic being played out now on a global level makes me understand a bit better why I had to go through it all during my childhood. I was simply being prepared for what was coming and I am now grateful for it. Talking about a change of perspective! :-)
 
Apart from RT, I'm getting my BLM-news from this man:

Big breakdown - nervous, emotional, - on True Pundit and admitting complete destruction of any of his and others' investigative-journalist goals and hopes in the USA for truth. Admitting the futility of any true & just cause while fighting for Truth. It is going nowhere:

True Pundit and his team walked a victim of 'child satanic ritual abuse' into the FBI with the victim having direct evidence about Bill Clinton and other big names - politically immune people - committing sodomy against children during a satanic ritual.

While they waited for the FBI to investigate, his chief investigator was murdered in her hotel room. Then the key witness was forced to withdraw, because he feared for his life. True Pundit now finally admits the FBI - paid by taxpayers - didn't lift a finger in this key investigation against Clinton and other high position criminals. The Super Rich are Untouchable in this country..
He has FBI insider friends and they told him nothing was done, nobody investigated anything in the bureau about this.

His words in June, while doing his video podcast show:
- "Because I think this is the greatest country in the world!" -
The listener (or video-watcher paying supporter) can literally "watch a man get unglued" (his joking admission) as he is trying to cope with the incoming news Heralding the Societal Collapse of the USA.
The Fall of America.

After this, I don't see any reason to listen to his podcasts, since none of the blockbuster investigations - he is reporting about "firsthand" - are going anywhere. The only reason I keep listening to him to get the gist about the collapse of the USA.

We have firsts seats during this show on Earth indeed. I'm routing for the Asteroids! At least they have the power to erase the Super Rich, while we are forced sitting powerless.

And I'm afraid nothing will happen unless they are arrested for inciting violence. But I doubt that will happen as it is not part of the narrative. No this whole thing is playing exactly as the C's informed on years ago. "They" will create so much chaos that the average person will demand a police state.
