Mass civil unrest is a cumbersome weapon for societal change; like an oversized caveman club made of oak. You can barely swing it, and when you do you might destroy an enemy with it but you could also unwittingly destroy innocent people at the same time. Once the weapon is in motion adjusting its direction or momentum becomes difficult.
I prefer the scalpel approach – Find the cancer and cut it out directly, rather than bashing at the whole body just to get at one tumor.
Another problem with protests and riots is that they often have no discernible goals, or they lose track of their goals almost immediately. When the initial protests started, they targeted the police precinct in Minneapolis which was home to the officers that killed George Floyd. In my view this was perfectly acceptable. At this stage a majority of Americans were on their side. Many conservatives and law enforcement officers even came out in support of these measures and admonished the actions that violated common police procedure and led to unnecessary death.
But now, the situation has turned into something far beyond the killing of George Floyd. It has become a vehicle for agendas and not surprisingly the establishment benefits most; the very establishment the protesters think they are fighting against.
[…] Brandon Smith: Civil Unrest Is Inevitable – Here’s How It Will Be Exploited To Bring In Tyranny … […]
It can only ‘bring in Tyranny’ after all the Guns have been Confiscated.

(Since most Sheriffs would form a Posse to oppose them. As for the whole “Martial Law” bugaboo, that Meme has been around forever, and it never happened, and never will.
Here’s Why- the Corporation doing business as “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” has been ‘operating’ under a “Declared State of Emergency” since the Bankruptcy of 1933. (look up what Senator James Trafficant said about this, on the Senate Floor) Under this Act of Congress, at the Demand of the Banksters, the Constitution was Suspended, and the ‘government’ is free to do whatever it ‘wants’, until the Citizens pull them up Short.
The ‘government’ doesn’t need to “Declare Martial Law”, and in Fact,it Dare Not, for that would be the ‘Red Flag’ to Patriots that .gov has lost all ‘legitimacy’ whatsoever. You can let your Imagination run Wild from there. Drone Strike in Idaho? Federal Office Burned in Georgia. Tanks on the Streets in Virginia? Federal Troops Snipered in Alaska. See how that Works?
All the Empire’s Helicopter Gunships and All the Empire’s Men can’t control Afghanistan, FFS.
