Last year the riots were entirely fake, astroturf government rioters theatrically engaging in pretend conflict with government police. This time, there was some fake violence, and some quite real violence. (more…)

Actual Greek riots
Friday, June 17th, 2011More astroturf
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Your taxes at work – the government stages protests demanding more government.
The “One Nation Working Together Rally” got lots of ridicule because all the protesters had professionally made mass produced signs. So these protesters as they stream out of their taxpayer paid for buses are handed professionally made mass produced signs that are made to look like home made signs.

Observe all the school buses shipping protesters in. A better use, no doubt, for your education dollars than teaching children hateful lies demonizing American history.
Observe the guy with the crutch, who is presumably about to pretend to be a cripple
Observe the protesters signing off. Why do protesters need to sign off unless they are getting paid to show up? Could be worse. They could be paid to poison children’s minds.
astroturf “anarchism”
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011The Belmont club reports on left “anarchism”, taking the movement at face value, as if it was what it appears to be.
the purest and most uncompromising of which are the anarchists.
In fact, left anarchists are astroturf. They are the government threatening those that would restrain its growth.
Repeating my previous post on the Greek riots:
Observe the recent firebombings in the Greek riots, where the “rioters” murdered three people.
Here are a couple of videos of the “rioters” firebombing police.
The “rioters” charge the police, and bang on their shields with light sticks, making no attempt to jab through the gaps at the actual bodies of the cops, nor using sticks heavy enough to even shake the shields. No axe handles or baseball bats.
Hey guys, if you want to bang on armored cops, I have a sledgehammer that would make a pretty good mace. It goes through concrete mighty fast.
They then fall back, and hurl firebombs – but they do not not hurl firebombs at the police, but at the ground in front of the police. One cop gets one of his boots splashed with burning petrol. He rolls around, and a couple of other cops put him out. In the second video, same scene shot from a different angle, we observe that the cops make not the slightest attempt to arrest the firebombers for attempted murder, and the rest of the mob for assault and as accessories to attempted murder. It is all theater. When they see that one of the firebombs has actually hit, the theater pauses.
When right wing militia listens politely to an FBI provocateur provocateur at a meeting proposing that they bomb someone, they all go to jail for plotting crimes. The “rioters” firebomb a cop, and everyone acts like it is an unfortunate accident – which of course is exactly what it is.
The “rioters” in the Greek riots are government employees put on the streets by government sponsored unions that are themselves as much part of the government as the police were.
More astroturf
Wednesday, October 13th, 2010The one nation rally was largely AstroTurf, students bussed by their teachers, unionists bussed by their unions. If it was not hundred percent AstroTurf, it was close enough to one hundred percent that it was hard to see the difference.
Jon Stewart’s “March to keep fear alive” rally is looking like it will be more of the same.
On the morning of October 30th, we’re loading up a fleet of buses here at 1515 Broadway and sending as many of you as we can down to DC for a free one-day, round-trip journey to join in the Rally to Restore Sanity and March to Keep Fear Alive. It’s about a 5 ½ hour trip down 95 to our nation’s capital
By and large, if a rally is partly AstroTurf, it is usually all AstroTurf, because you don’t resort to AstroTurf if you can get real supporters to show up. If one lie, all lies, if one AstroTurf, all AstroTurf.

Duelling Rallies
Monday, October 4th, 2010Verum Serum compares the rallies:
Rally comparison
Notice the mass of buses at the left of the “one nation” rally – those were unionists who were bused, government employees, rather than people who chose to turn up by their own individual decision. To judge by the number of buses, the “one nation” rally was 90% astroturf. Had they relied on voluntary unpaid attendance, the rally would have been invisibly tiny.
The left as astroturf
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Whenever one sees supposedly insurrectionary leftism, one usually detects a government official sponsoring it, as for example in the recent suppression of US flags on Cinco de Mayo.

The “rioters” in the Greek riots are government employees put on the streets by government sponsored unions that are themselves as much part of the government as the police were – and predictably, in a supposed riot supposedly between police and government employees, the only people actually murdered were neither police nor government employees.
