Federal Law Enforcement Use Unmarked Vehicles To Grab Protesters Off Portland Streets

This is from a Public Television web site.

 

by Jonathan Levinson and Conrad Wilson

July 16, 2020 2:45 p.m. | Updated: July 16, 2020 7:47 p.m.

UPDATE (7:46 p.m. PT) – In the early hours of July 15, after a night spent protesting at the Multnomah County Justice Center and Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse, Mark Pettibone and his friend Conner O’Shea decided to head home.

It had been a calm night compared to most protesting downtown. By 2 a.m. law enforcement hadn’t used any tear gas and, with only a few exceptions, both the Portland Police Bureau and federal law enforcement officers had stayed out of sight.

A block west of Chapman Square, Pettibone and O’Shea bumped into a group of people who warned them that people in camouflage were driving around the area in unmarked minivans grabbing people off the street.

“So that was terrifying to hear,” Pettibone said.

They had barely made it half a block when an unmarked minivan pulled up in front of them.

“I see guys in camo,” O’Shea said. “Four or five of them pop out, open the door and it was just like, ‘Oh shit. I don’t know who you are or what you want with us.’”

Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off.

The tactic appears to be another escalation in federal force deployed on Portland city streets, as federal officials and President Donald Trump have said they plan to “quell” nightly protests outside the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center that have lasted for more than six weeks.

Federal officers have charged at least 13 people with crimes related to the protests so far, while others have been arrested and released, including Pettibone. They also left one demonstrator hospitalized with skull fractures after shooting him in the face with so-called “less lethal” munitions July 11.

Officers from the U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group and Customs and Border Protection’s BORTAC, have been sent to Portland to protect federal property during the recent protests against racism and police brutality.

But interviews conducted by OPB show officers are also detaining people on Portland streets who aren’t near federal property, nor is it clear that all of the people being arrested have engaged in criminal activity. Demonstrators like O’Shea and Pettibone said they think they were targeted by federal officers for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.

O’Shea said he ran when he saw people wearing camouflage jump out of an unmarked vehicle. He said he hid when a second unmarked van pursued him.

Video shot by O’Shea and provided to OPB shows a dark screen as O’Shea narrates the scene. Metadata from the video confirms the time and place of the protesters’ account.

“Feds are driving around, grabbing people off the streets,” O’Shea said on the video. “I didn’t do anything ****ing wrong. I’m recording this. I had to let somebody know that this is what happens.”

Pettibone did not escape the federal officers.

“I am basically tossed into the van,” Pettibone said. “And I had my beanie pulled over my face so I couldn’t see and they held my hands over my head.”

My comment: ”Did not do anything F***ING wrong that the federal agents saw”, or at least he thought so. Those federal officers did not screw this up, GIVE ME A BREAK, and there’s lots more to this report at the public television web site.

 

In case you did not see it, Here is the 40 second Bill and Melinda Gates video where Bill says “This virus did not get enough attention because it was not bad enough, but the next one will” and then they both smile.

Obviously they are launching these pandemics. If they are not stopped, take a look at that video and watch your new masters.

 

 

Headline on Drudge:

VIRUS PROMPTS DRASTIC MEASURES AS DEATH TOLLS SET RECORDS

REALITY:

States have been ordered to inflate their covid stats by 15X and in this video, Collin county Texas has an official meeting videotaped where they decide to go with 17X.

 

 

This is not an Alex video, that’s just the first frame you never see when clicked, it is instead a video of county proceedings where they agree to scam the covid stats.

Everything damning happens in the first 3 minutes.

 

HACKERS PAID A TWITTER EMPLOYEE TO SPILL THE BEANS

A MOAB just went off in silicon valley

Update: This got totally scrubbed and won’t get a lot of public attention. However, those who matter have this info and there probably will be reprecussions for Twitter’s censorship.

 

Additionally they morphed the story line. The original story line was that the hackers got access to the private messaging portions of the elite accounts, uncovered tons of criminal stuff, and the hackers then blackmailed the account holders, stating if they don’t pay up in bitcoin, their criminal activities they discussed on Twitter would be made public.

Additionally, the hackers took screenshots of Twitter’s censorship tools, proving Twitter is lying about censorship and instead has a detailed control panel admins use to clandestinely destroy or boost accounts. Nothing there reflects true public will or what would really be popular at all if left alone. The only surviving capture has mundane censorship tools that are enough to support the story line but not enough to really anger the public. The more complete screen caps showed a precision censorship engine that even allowed percentages.

To immediately provide blanket protection to those sending tweets that proved Twitter was allowing elite criminals to collaborate their efforts with regard to the corona scam and a LOT MORE, Twitter shut down all verified accounts which would hold people accountable to what the hackers found (Twitter obviously did this to protect criminal interests,) AND THE FOLLOWING IS PRICELESS:

 

The bottom line is that Twitter is actively assisting those who are seeking to destroy the United States by providing them with a private communications platform that allows them to all connect perfectly, while at the same time, Twitter is destroying those who are attempting to save the United States by stifling and destroying communications. The genie is out of the bottle. It is not a mystery or anything they can lie their way out of anymore.

The initial stories about this incident, the hackers made records of the private tweets of the top elite criminals and threatend to make them public if a bitcoin payoff was not made. That was the original story and it has now changed for obvious reasons.

MORE: The control panel proved passwords are irrelevant to twitter admin, they just back door into anything they want, password free and that is what allowed the hackers to get into everything. And worse, if Twitter is now proven to be such an outfit, what about the rest of silicon valley? Twitter has obviously been the cleanest of them all, SO WHAT ABOUT THE REST??

 

 

The Los Angeles teachers union has issued a stunning list of demands they want met before returning to work

Basically they want full blown communism and all the demands of Black Lives matter met, including the elimination of the police. I think that’s a good thing, home schooling needs more time to root in real good. Considering the quality the current crop of teachers spews out, the longer their list of demands the better, I CAN WAIT.

 

 

Elon Musk’s new gigafactory in Germany is literally laid out just like a CPU, including how the transistors are laid out on the die.

 

I am sure he copied a CPU design to maximize efficiency, while the “bits” are parts moving through that CPU. Doing so would probably greatly increase efficiency. The transistors would be the dark patches on the roof, that is literally how processors look if you get the chip out of the case.

 

A perfect comment was left on Infowars explaining why Dorsey should be in deep trouble. Here it is:

Twitter and other social media are not just publishers, they are authors.

 

Here’s the argument

In twitter and other social media, the terms of service render the content of your posts and photos as company property or at the least provide the company with the rights for dissemination.

You write your post, push send, and your post is the property of Twitter. Then twitter edits it, and promotes or blacklists the content. Twitter takes the content, claims ownership and then promotes it or deletes it. In this way twitter and other companies are not just publishers, they are authors. The same as a newspaper company who hires a reporter or a celebrity who hires a ghost writer. Twitter and other companies offer something of value, free access to their network, and in return the company receives content produced by you and that the company now owns.

Social media are authors in the same way as a newspaper is an author, where the company solicits content and an editorial board determines whether to publish or not and the level of promotion to give to the content.

 

The immunity provision within the communications act has never covered authors and that is what social media has become.

The new revelations of the twitter editorial control panel proves this point.

 

My comment: My my, that was good. And, to make it clear – Twitter cannot exist as it does now that those buttons are proven to exist, the violations have been extreme and after Dorsey lied to Congress about it, Twitter should be disbanded.

 

I ended up stuck in the boonies with a slow tablet and Wal mart connection earlier today

We had to track down the doctor that did my father in laws brain surgery, find the hospital and set an appointment so I am stuck with what I have for doing this site. ANYWAY.

 

 

Twitter hack – dont believe what you hear. They are trying to peddle it off as a Bitcoin scam. The reality of it is that was an insignificantly small part of the story, the real story is that the hackers got ahold of proof of top level elite criminal activities and also irrevocably proved that Dorsey lied before congress about censorship. Hackers revealed that Twitter is so corrupt the Army ought to go in and seize the place. And this, by default, means the rest of big tech is equally corrupt.

The ATF seized a bunch of gun parts from China

It appears guns are in short supply nationwide and that manufacturers have asked distributors to return spare parts so they can be used to make guns to sell . There was a big mystery surrounding the ammo shortages and gun shortages and it now appears meddling by the ATF is likely causing it. The method is to interfere with supply lines that support manufacture of gun products to prevent ammo and guns from being built to begin with, while letting stores sell out of what they have. Obviously that would work and the ATF needs to be called out on this to stop it.

 

 

Ad blockers now censoring alt media links

I am beginning to see complaints about ad blockers blocking legitimate links on alt media sites. The latest round of updates are blocking even Youtube links if they are made from alt media sites, and even links that are internal to the sites are being blocked by ad blockers in some cases, with no way to turn it off. This is not only happening on one site, there are three that I know of now that are having this clandestine censorship approach affect them. Rather than being allowed to work a message is returned that the link is broke . If you have suddenly encountered lots of broken links, turn off your ad blocker and if the problem persists get rid of it. This is something I have warned about as possible for quite a while. The keyboard battery just died, and I cannot code from the tablet screen so I have to hit post and quit for now.

Insider info: Pandemic mayhem in October

I just finished talking to a high ranking member of a major conservative organization that has already locked down millions of people in quarantine due to the organization having knowledge of a new virus that will be released within a time frame that slates October as a month of major mayhem. This organization has many elite within it’s ranks yet is conservative.

 

They have already provided comfortable quarantine to millions of people. Some of their people are still out and about in public, but they have protected their most valuable people with forced quarantine because they don’t know when the new virus will be released and there will be two groups, those that are already quarantined and those that are not quarantined but provide support. It is a very interesting arrangement, they are obviously taking this seriously.

Many readers of this site have probably seen the recent video clip of Bill Gates stating “This virus did not get taken seriously, but the next one will”. It came off as a threat. I believe that was a real threat, and now that this organization has taken this action, it really appears we indeed have something to worry about. It was the conservatives that first saw through the B.S. and if this organization is not subverted it has to mean that the elite within it’s ranks got real insider info and there really is something new on the way to worry about. I’d say there is a 30 percent chance of subversion and a 70 percent chance this is all legit.

Anyone with a lick of sense knows the doctors are murdering people and false registering deaths, as well as faking test results to get the stats up to actionable levels, but too many people are aware of this now and it is highly probable that the elite have therefore decided to do it for real this time. So it only makes sense to:

1. If you own a business, be prepared to shut it down, now is not the time to expand and put it at risk with additional debt. If it is going under already, don’t wipe yourself out trying to keep it afloat.

2. If you consumed your Corona supplies and can build them back up, you had better get that done SOON because the clock is ticking, this time we have a solid warning.

There is obviously a chance this is all a hoax and nothing real ever will be released, but Bill Gates actually did threaten this and this particular organization would be the last one I’d ever expect to fall for a hoax. Subversion of this organization is possible, but not likely.

 

One final note: I actually went to one of the locations this organization was supposed to be using for quarantine, and YEP, they are there, and quarantined. It looks like they are being stupid for now. This is supposed to be happening in every country, with this organization. Better than in a house at least. There’s no question this is legit, my only question is whether or not subversion caused it. And I believe that is unlikely. I would not have posted about this if I did not know for sure such actions were taken. It is spooky, because it is such a freaking huge organization, this is not “heaven’s gate”.

 

 

Trump posted a donation platform that will “work for Republicans” and the link has been blocked

GET THIS: The president himself confirmed this guy’s donation page was working, linked it, and then this!!! Leftists could not compromise the site itself, so they just invented a problem out of thin air. Trump could hit this site, why the error after he posted it?

 

 

Somebody “spilled” a can of red paint on the Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump tower

PLEASE NOTE: The guy that did it did not get the tip from this web site, because I suggested people use black or white paint, NOT RED. The face mask ensured his identity remained private.

The article is here, and please note: He did not do this right. Don’t do it in broad daylight and make it that damn obvious. He got away I guess but you absolutely should not do this type of thing when people can cell cam you. He’s not off the hook yet and you can damn well bet if he gets caught, he’ll do the max sentence.

 

 

JUST OUT: NO BAIL FOR GHISLAINE MAXWELL

The deep state tried to get her a flight to Tel-Aviv today (July 14) and failed. She’s going to be held until they are done with her or Hillary gets her.

When outside jail, she had her own security forces protect her. In jail, she’s going to have the deep state “protecting her”. Let’s see how that goes. But no bail is better than a ticket on El-Al.

 

 

Florida proven to be inflating COVID stats by more than 10X.

Fox News must not be compromised down to the lower levels yet, because despite losing it at the top levels their local stations still do real reporting, and this is one such report.

They clearly showed the clinics in Florida were exploding the corona stats through the roof by more than 10X and demanded explanations for that. So there is no second wave, the second wave is all based on fraud, (as we all know) – the big surprise here is that FOX actually reported that accurately. I captured this because it was live editing while I was reading it and I never saw Twitter do that before. The top tweet switched from 100 percent to 76 percent as I read it.

 

This is clear fraud intended for the purpose of destroying the economy and setting up an election steal. If checked, all states will be the same. Felony fraud across the board. It is the only way the left can win. Zero enforcement after being busted will be completely due to subversion and a Bolshevik takeover.

 

America had damn well better enforce a Trump win or we are going to be toast. Trump is NOT going to lose. He will instead “lose” and after that it will be “America” and “fairness” enforced via white genocide. Think I am exaggerating? All you need to do to make it happen is sit on your butt waiting to “see what happens.”

WHITE HATE GROUP BEATS BLACK WOMAN AND KICKS HER TODDLER IN THE HEAD

Four white guys beat up black woman and Give her two year old toddler a flying kick to the head.

 

 

At least that’s how CNN would report this by conveniently and “accidentally” switching a few words and leaving out details (although in this case they’ll just not mention it because the video is too clear.)For those who did not click the link, 4 blacks beat a white woman and kick her toddler in the head. You won’t see THAT on CNN or even FOX.

The majority of communist takeover type social media posts are trying to push the blame off on Muslims

It is happening everywhere and I am sure you have seen it. New rule going in somewhere? MUSLIMS DID IT. Got a super spreader? Blacks and Muslims did it! Muslims are Communists! Hate socialism? Muslims do it through “zakat”. Muslims are ALL THAT!!!

 

REALITY: Communists kill Muslims off. Zakat is the income tax in Islam and is assessed at 2.5 percent of all your posessions once per year during Ramadan. Need help? You’ll get it, but the “socialism” virtually always ends at 3 days. You are expected to take care of yourself. Muslims are pure capitalist. And those blaming Muslims for this little Bolshevik revolution going on now are either the Bolsheviks attempting to displace the blame away from themselves long enough for them to get the chance to do away with the Muslims and other religions the way China did, or total idiots.

Ilhan Omar is an anomaly. She’s clearly a communist POS but then again, she married her brother to skirt regulations and a whole slate of other things, they have their “Epsteins” and “Clintons” also.

 

Chicago has threatened to bulldoze churches that hold services

Churches around Chicago are reporting that the government has made threats to bulldoze their churches.

They are going to use “summary abatement of public nuisances” which means bulldozing the churches without due process. You know – like Russia in 1917.

 

The churches will be destroyed if they hold services with more than 10 people. Supposedly this is going before the supreme court. See this.

 

What the “silent majority” actually is

The silent majority is the group being censored. “Silent majorities” happen when those who are hostile to the majority get control of the dissemination of information and then use that control to push objectives the majority does not want. Silent majorities are what happen under tyranny.

 

The MSM has created the silent majority in the United States, along with Twitter, Facebook, Google and more. Have an opinion that will conflict with the “six million” minority completely taking over the United States or any other country they have targeted? Bam-o, even if you do have a platform it will appear in Google in name only with absolutely no topic searches working to find it. That way those who already know about it won’t think it is censored, while those who don’t know about it will never find it.

Have an E-mail that should go viral? If it goes against those who have seized control of the narrative, it will hit a spam filter and likely die before anyone other than those you talk to daily ever see it. They’ll allow it through to those you talk to daily, because you can confirm with them it got blocked. But absolutely no one else will see it.

Speak up on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else, and you will be vaporized. And it is all about accomplishing objectives and establishing an illusion – the illusion that the majority does not exist. Silence the majority, and then say it is simply not there. That way, you can steal an election, and a country and get away with it. That way you can destroy multitudes with shots you call “vaccines” and get away with it. You can run a corona scam and get away with it. You can even run CPS as a child theft operation, and then get away with murder.

 

A few quick headlines

Nothing important in the news today so I’ll post this.

 

 

Backfire: Leftist boycott Goya products because the CEO praised Trump, and now they are selling out everywhere.

That’s because the “silent majority” is not being represented and is instead the “censored majority”, which has caused leftists that are too stupid to breathe to actually believe their B.S. is mainstream opinion. How about those Bernie polls??? This would not be possible if they were accurate.

 

 

Local governments raising taxes across the board to compensate for COVID shortfalls

My comment: How about spending less like everyone else, rather than ramp up your parasitism against a weakened host?

 

 

Maxine waters: Trump supporters are making sure Blacks cannot rise to any level of influence and power

My comment: Not satisfied with Barak Obama and over representation at all levels based on their percentage of population? How about supporting an abortion ban so more get born?

 

 

Hollywood crashing from Coronavirus

My comment: And that’s bad news? Wal Mart is going to try to fix that by turning their parking lots into drive-ins I guess. Oh well, yet another reason to boycott Wal Mart.

 

 

Ghislaine may receive bail to “avoid coronavirus”

My comment: And there’s a ticket to Tel Aviv in that prize package.

 

 

Large Navy ship on fire in San Diego

This one is a lot worse than stated. This particular ship could host an enormous pile of F-35′s, Harriers, drones, helicopters, tilt rotors, it doubles as an “amphibious attack” vessel but any other nation would call it a versatile aircraft carrier because that’s really what it is, and few nations have anything like it. Just because the U.S. has the Nimitz class carrier does not mean this “Amphibious” ship is not also an aircraft carrier.

 

There were early reports that make it appear someone set the fire but those got squashed and now it was officially “caused by a welder”.

 

New poll confirms Americans don’t believe Trump-Biden polls

My comment: Americans believe them when they are real. Here are the real stats: Biden 11. “Other” between 11 percent and 13 percent. Trump at 75+ percent. When polling conservatives, Trump is at 97 percent with the remaining 3 percent split. That is reality and people know it.

 

 

Repeat headlines: China’s 3 gorges dam in danger

Reality: China’s 3 gorges dam is not in danger at all, and as it turns out, the distortions in the dam are satellite errors caused by convection off the dam.
