America Descends Into Chaos Amid Nationwide Attacks “Designed To Destabilize Civil Society”

Via ZeroHedge

Update (11:19 ET): Prepare for a night of hell, as per Fox News’ report that 50 cities could see protests on Saturday night.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz summed-up the current chaos erupting nationwide perfectly:

“This is absolutely no longer about George Floyd or addressing inequities anymore. This is an organized attack designed to destabilize civil society.”

Protests raged overnight in dozens of U.S. cities, including Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., New York City, Atlanta, Houston, and several large metro areas on the West Coast.

Protests or social unrest was seen in these major metros on Friday night:

  • Houston & Fort Worth, TX
  • NYC
  • Chicago, IL
  • Atlanta, GA
  • Washington D.C.
  • Detroit, MI
  • Fort Wayne, IN
  • Kansas City, MO
  • Des Moines, IA
  • Vegas, NV
  • Charlotte, NC
  • San Jose, CA
  • Boston, MA
  • Memphis, TN
  • Columbus, OH
  • Denver, CO
  • Cincinnati, OH
  • Portland, ME
  • Louisville, KY

Starting in Minneapolis, where unrest continued into the fourth night following the death of George Floyd, a man who was killed by Minneapolis Police on Monday, had Minnesota National Guard Adjutant General Jon Jensen and Governor Tim Walz announce the request for 1,000 more soldiers from the National Guard as widespread rioting and looting continued.

“This is the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota history that we have out there today, and quite candidly right now, we do not have the numbers,” Walz said Saturday morning.” We cannot arrest people when we are trying to hold ground because of the sheer size, the dynamics, and wanton violence.”

Jensen expects by Saturday evening, up to 1,700 soldiers will be “ready to go.” On Friday night, assault rifle-wielding soldiers were spotted on the streets within the ranks of local police.

Minneapolis protest May 29. h/t Unicorn Riot

A fleet of armored Humvees lined the street “on Chicago Ave in between Lake St. and 31st as firefighters battle raging fires 8 blocks from where George Floyd was killed,” tweeted Unicorn Riot.

Protesters appeared to have torched a Wells Fargo bank.

Building structure(s) are still on fire on Saturday morning.

Chaos and destruction continue into the weekend.

Scenes last night from Interstate 35W, a major highway system in the U.S. that passes through downtown Minneapolis, where protesters broke into a moving UPS truck and stole packages.

In response to Washington, D.C. protests on Friday evening, President Trump thanked the Secret Service on Saturday morning for protecting the White house.

“Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action,” President Trump tweeted.

Meanwhile, the Treasury Department in DC was breached by rioters, who spray-painted the building. According to CNN, some of the protesters were stopped by US Secret Service but eventually let go.

Down in Atlanta, CNN’s headquarters were attacked by protesters on Friday evening.

An angry mob lit NYPD Police vans on fire last night:

 

Rioting in Brooklyn overnight.

From Houston to Phoenix to Portland, police forces have reported widespread social unrest.

As things spiral out of control, two Federal Protective Service officers suffered gunshot wounds in Oakland, California, last night, leaving one of them dead.

Oakland was crazy in the overnight, one protester stole a skid loader tractor and drove it down the street.

Protesters clashed with police in Oakland.

Protesters looting a car dealership in Oakland.

Several years ago, US Northern Command “rehearsed non-lethal riot control tactics” at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona. Perhaps preparation for widespread social unrest across the country. The government has known this day was coming…

US Northern Command training for riots in 2018 

President Trump signed an executive order in late March that allows the Pentagon to mobilize up to a million troops to combat the coronavirus outbreak in the country. The order could now be directed at social unrest. It’s only a matter of time before more state governors activate National Guard troops like Minnesota did early this week.

We were the first to note Friday, the federal government flew a military drone above Minneapolis to spy on protesters.

A perfect storm develops: 40 million unemployed, economy crashed, record polarization and wealth inequality at extremes, the country is quickly descending into chaos into the summer months. So what happens when the government stops unleashing helicopter money for people who recently lost their jobs?

Beggars on street corners will grow exponentially.

Anyone seen with anything of value will become a target for theft and violence.
Keep a low profile.
Venturing out, to buy more groceries may become one of the riskiest things to do.
Forget the mask.
Better take a few armed guards.
And,
Make sure nobody follows you home.

for a long time america was not.. it really was something different.. and the aristocrats absolutely hated the existence of a counterexample. They got the leash around america’s neck in 1913 with the federal reserve, and have been tearing america apart to return it to oligacrhic control ever since (pretty much a done deal by now, but still some formalities and institutions remain a major inconvenience to them).. in europe theres no universal assumption and constitutional reminder about total freedom of speech, or a right to keep and bear arms… in europe the concept of leviathan’s absolutely powerful state never went away.

Ah, the Millennials dream of living in a big city is getting more and more enticing. The opportunity to go to numerous restaurants and bars with friends. Oops, Covid closed down the bars and restaurants.

No need for a car in the city because of the fine public transportation system. Oh wait, the homeless took over the subways.

And the joy of sitting in an office on the 50th floor of a skyscrapers, looking over the horizon. Ah shit, we need to walk up 50 flights of stairs because Covid only allows 4 people on each elevator car.

But big cities still have all those unique shops that make window browsing with friends so enjoyable. Oh yeah, most of the unique stores went bankrupt with the lockdowns and the ones that are left are targets for the rioters to destroy.

Well Millennials, maybe the suburbs and small towns aren’t so bad after all.

We don’t want them moving to small town America and voting to fuck the place over either.

Actually, I don’t know if this happened everywhere, but here in the ATL, they actually shut down many bus lines and re-routed them so as to make getting to the hospital more “accessible.” Fuck anyone with a job that relied on the bus for getting around or to work.

There are, of course, alternatives for the commuter: MARTA – Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta.

It, ‘Lanta’s mass transit, will be even nicer when the Negroes completely tear it up, make it unrideable and create a vibrant tunnel-system living space for the homeless.

somebody’s trying to color-revolution the united states. yes, the people are genuinely pissed about all sorts of things and the last few months have been the icing on the cake… but still, this particular set of riots really smells like someone’ _trying_ to set it on fire to overthrow civil society.

This is Antifa, Soros, Marxist dems writ large. The protesters are bussed in, organized, equipped with bullhorns and fire accelerants. Nothing spontaneous, note how many are white Antifa types. It is the Marxists taking advantage of no crisis left unused. Who pays for this? Soros and his ilk.

Local Atlanta news was desperate to make the point that the folks causing trouble “were definitely outsiders” meaning not Atlanta residents. Not sure how they knew that, but this has been the ongoing narrative. Not sure how you “spin” the fact that the vast majority of them, whether locals or not, were black….but hey, I’m sure they are working on some sort of explanation.

But if bused in from out of town, who could possibly be behind something like that??

“were definitely outsiders” This is being said about all the other cities meaning they are invading each others city or there is a large group of people, mobile and financed that have not been accounted for previously. I am quite sure if either of these instances were valid there would be proof such as traffic,facial recognition, fuel sales, motel res and cell phone data. Me thinks they is full of shit.

In Atlanta they were desperate to make the point that with all the riots seen in the past (Detroit, Watts, S. Central after Rodney King, etc.) there had been nothing really serious in Atlanta because they were “better than that” (and they desperately need the tourists to come back. I think the lies also set up the narrative that outside white supremicists could be fueling the trouble, etc. Just not Atlantans. And I have no doubt that there were folks who were not Atlanta residents causing trouble. Folks from the black infested cities of College Park, East Point, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, Union City, and others in the surrounding area, likely came in for the fun and free TVs.
