Are these disgusting crackdowns being coordinated, and if yes, by who?

[Divine Discontent]

Poll question: Are these disgusting crackdowns being coordinated, and if yes, by who?

I'm reading these reports and shaking my head... It's terrible!

Do you think this is a coordinated effort from a few very high up people contacting the PTB and telling them to put the vice grip down on the protestors because this movement is becoming a potential threat to their control? Or no, and that it's just random?

1. Four cities on the same night at approximately the same time ...

... ain't no coincidence!

[Divine Discontent]

12. 4 becomes unquestionably obvious, and there is NO excuse to stop freedom of speech even with them

being in the parks late, because we are in a world of hurt here in the USA (many of the 99%), and people can't find work, are living with friends/family or homeless, and are angry and yet, and YET, the protesters have been nearly unanimously peaceful whereas the police brutality is rampant! So, to say they shouldn't be in the parks is a weak response to peaceful protesting corruption!

thanks

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

40. San Francisco and looks like Atlanta

I noted that in another post.
Here is the SF report:

41. This post is about Atlanta:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2094962

Is there more news?

[gkhouston]

2. Things go bitter with Koch. n/t

[JCMach1]

3. Judging by the places it is happening, it may well be the Democratic leaders

Purely speculative at this point.

[Fire Walk With Me]

4. You'd think that cities wouldn't co-ordinate their police forces. So who is ordering them to?

[msongs]

5. does crackdown on medical marijuana ring a bell for you? nt

[Divine Discontent]

7. exactly...

[leftstreet]

8. +1

[Fire Walk With Me]

25. The war on drugs and homeland security coming in handy, eh?

William S. Burroughs was right...again.

[Divine Discontent]

11. a very good question n/t

[ixion]

30. DHS

That would be OBAMA's DHS...

[coalition_unwilling]

6. Oh, come on. Four cities on the same night at about the same time? It's

way past time now for a GENERAL STRIKE to shut this country down. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL.

[Divine Discontent]

10. yeah, when I posted I didn't even know about the Atlanta info... way too obvious what went down.

The big day for protest coming up should also be a declaration to shut down the country with workers not going in until the POTUS speaks about what he will instruct his Justice Dept and Dem. leaders to push for investigations, changes, and such. I know these things are all speculative at this point, and what fully went down until daylight comes, but this seems to be a highly forceful act to quash the OWS movement and it seems like someone (not sure who that is yet, of course) had their hands in this...

:mad:

[coalition_unwilling]

13. GENERAL STRIKE NOW! In the words of the late Mario Savio:

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." UC-Berkeley, 1964

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. Their message to us: Have a Koch and a smile.

[AverageJoe90]

14. I have this horrible feeling this IS being coordinated.

Looks like the hardcore authoritarians are coming out in full force tonight......

[JCMach1]

15. and I hate to wear tinfoil, but it would require the FEDS to coordinate

something like this...

:grr:

[Divine Discontent]

18. right, and I don't wanna believe that, if so, the shit will hit the fan

and there will be larger numbers, I hope, in the future from people seeing this around the USA, and getting pissed at this forceful action in multiple states that are too similar to be "chance". I think an organized strike by labor to shut down the cities is becoming a possible necessity.

:mad:

[JCMach1]

21. Me either, but if it was the left is going to blow-up

[Divine Discontent]

23. exactly... exactly! n/t

[AverageJoe90]

19. There definitely are some pretty corrupt factions out there in the FBI and all the other Fed Orgs...

That's for damn sure. But, and this is a big, BUT.........not ALL Feds are crooks.

[geek tragedy]

24. No, it would require email and telephones.

Zero evidence of any federal role, or any reason to suspect that.

[Divine Discontent]

16. after seeing a few more cities added to the list of where this is going down, it has become all too

Obvious.

[JCMach1]

22. It was also too big an operation that there won't be a trail left behind

if the media would actually do their job...

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. Rep. Peter King: "We can't allow that to happen."

[Divine Discontent]

20. wow. well, it was getting rec'd for others to see. thanks for the unrecs to the lovers of fascism.

http://www.zazzle.com/republicans_2012_keeping_millions_out_of_work_bumper_sticker-128659602907896843?rf=238107662556833486

[geek tragedy]

26. Well, the evidence of coordination is piss-poor.

We have arrests in Boston and . . .

Where else are there solid reports of crackdowns.

[pnwest]

27. my bet is Homeland Security is coordinating tonights raids. n/t

[geek tragedy]

28. The federal gubmint? Maybe black helicopters were involved.

Seriously, other than a dislike for the gubmint, what makes you think police chiefs need DHS's permission to arrest people?

[pnwest]

35. not permission, marching orders.

[HereSince1628]

33. No need to coordinate, they've had mostly identical training

based on identical theory. So police tactics are quite similar whether they are deployed in Des Moines or Boston.

[OneGrassRoot]

29. kick. n/t

[PuffedMica]

31. It's a conspiracy I tell you

This is nothing less than a corrdinated effort among groups with like interests

Trilateral Commission
NEW WORLD ORDER
Bilderberg Group
Club of Rome
The One World Government Organization
Council on Foreign Relations
The Koch Brothers
The Free Masons
and the telephone company
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_President%27s_Analyst

[rucky]

32. I think it's ad hoc coordination.

One police chief calls a police chief in another city, they compare notes, etc. There are only a few ways they can handle this, and as this pops up in more cities, we'll see some patterns emerging.

[chill_wind]

36. Does anybody have an updated summary of last nite- the pattern or big picture?

All the locations, proximate times the respective ops started etc? Were they all under the same deadline warnings that Boston's allegedly was (given until midnight)?

[Odin2005]

37. The Banksters.

[Avalux]

38. We need to remember who's in control...those with the power.

The same people we're protesting against. They are afraid and will do whatever they need to do to maintain the status quo. It could get very, very ugly. I just hope WE THE PEOPLE have the fortitude to stand up to them.

[yoyossarian]

39. It's the Koch brothers, silly.

I mean, isn't it Ron-Obvious?
After all, they own everyone and everything...
They can even get away with TREASON without anyone raising
much more than a minor stink about it.
And they speak for all the Wall Street Traitors who have
brought this country to its knees in this Brave New Millenium.

Besides, it's October... and those Koch brothers, they just
LOVE their silly Halloween pranks, don't they?

This, btw, is the answer to most of the grave questions facing us these days.
Personally, I think it should be the new meme of the age:

IT'S THE KOCH BROTHERS, STUPID.

K&R to the OP for asking the obvious question before anyone else.
