How Much More Proof Do We Need That Fascism Creates Their Own Enemies?

Warmington: Cops had hands 'cuffed

"Who made the decision for police to stand down despite the fact the city was under attack?
And why?
Was it a police decision or political?
These should be the cornerstone questions of an external review surrounding the chaos of the G20.
After all, police officers were trained to stop the Black Bloc anarchists, were appropriately equipped and massively manned.
As downtown Toronto witnessed burning police cars and a small group of thugs on a rampage, a police source tells me the only thing that stopped the officers from doing that was an order telling them not to. They tell me they could have rounded up all, or most of them, in no time.
I have had several frontline police officers tell me they were told not to get involved. But even before that decision was made, says one insider, there was mass confusion and indecision.
"The orders went from engage to, no, don't engage to engage to, no, don't engage,' " said an officer. "It was an absolute shambles. Everyone was talking over each other on the radio. Nobody seemed to know what to do. It was just a mess."
The officer said that eventually there was "a clear order from the command centre saying 'Do not engage' " and, at that point, smelling weakness and no repercussions, the downtown was effectively turned over to the vandals while police, up to 19,000 strong, were ordered to stay out of it.
Four police cars were destroyed and dozens of other properties were damaged.
"It was awful," said an officer. "There were guys with equipment to do the job, all standing around looking at each other in disbelief ... The Montreal riot guys were livid ... They just wanted to get in there and do the job but were told they are too intimidating."
So who made that order?
Was it Chief Bill Blair? Mayor David Miller? Prime Minister Stephen Harper? Somebody else?
The inevitable inquiry, separate from the announced internal police review, will have to address this and a whole lot of other things. For example, why were a record 1,000 arrests made a day after the actual incident where very few arrests were made during it?"


This is classic Hegelian Dialectic, or Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis, practiced by manipulators in human society since forever. Say the cops want to clear the street of demonstrators. They send in undercover provocateurs to burn some vehicles and then move on the crowd with violence and arrests in response. Problem solved.

Or you own laboratories and want to pocket some serious money. You hype some bogus disease and proceed to play on peoples' fears by selling vaccines. Easy money.

Or you need to rid the middle east of Israel's rivals. You invent bullshit to justify war and occupation and proceed to do zionism's bidding. It never ends, because reptiles get drunk on power and create the situations necessary to keep the binge going.
