Comparing the crowds at Donald Trump’s and Barack Obama’s inaugurations. -- http://nyti.ms/2j3yaDE
There's a lot of talk about fake news these days, the kind of reporting that makes the Pope go on TV and start talking shit and inspiring memes. Well I think I found some here, news faked by manipulating the time two images were taken then dishonestly comparing them. Based on the shadows the Sun looks off to the right in the Obongo image but directly overhead in The Donald's. IMO The New York Times used images taken after or before the ceremony for comparison.
Inforwars was on-site. Unless it was an elaborately staged bit of propaganda they appear to have documented the following:
- 'protesters' had set up at the entrances to the venue.
- said protesters were physically blocking people from entering. Especially females who tend to be smaller in stature and thus easier to block.
- some of the blocking methods resulted in minor injuries.
- The DC police were instructed to not interfere with the activities of these 'protesters'.
If this is even remotely true I will do hope and expect that Jeff Sessions will be 'looking backward' as well as looking forward as he performs the duties of the head of justice enforcement, and I expect the FBI to be tracking down the control structures which have facilitated some of this stuff. Right up to the top.
At the street level I'm pretty confident to say that the main reason why violent actions are seen almost exclusively on the 'progressive' side has to do with organization more than with capability. When the money is gone, so to will be the brown-shirt tactics. If not, it would not be difficult at all to meet the challenge, and I'd have very little sympathy for the idiots who wake up one day to find others fighting back. The main reason it's not been seen more is that it was simply unnecessary, dangerous for the future, and counter-productive.
