Richard Pollock, a former leftist agitator himself, predicts wide-spread protests and mob action at the upcoming DNC convention. His article, "Will Chicago Become A War Zone?" He indicates that "[a] vast coalition comprising of more than 200 Palestinian, Marxist, anti-imperialist and progressive organizations have signed on to join the 'March on the DNC 2024' which is planning marches and rallies between August 19 and 21," with an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 protestors expected to show up.
The crowds are believed to be at a minimum, unruly and at worst, riotous. The single largest part of the coalition, of course, are scores of radical Palestinian solidarity committees, which uniformly call for the end to Israel.
The march’s organizational leadership is a Who’s Who of well-known militant groups throughout the United States including Code Pink, Democratic Socialists of America and ANSWER.
And "[s]ocial media posts show that the 'March on the DNC' will bring together pro-Palestinian Islamicists with self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninists, anti-imperialists, anarchists as well as some progressive groups. All are determined to viciously denounce Harris and the Democratic Party."
The March on DNC’s rhetoric isn’t much different than Behind the Lines. Its main web site is filled with unremitting anger towards the Democratic Party. ‘We recognize the Democratic Party as a tool of billionaires and corporations,” the coalition statement begins.
They continue: “Their actions, such as financing genocide in Palestine and war in multiple countries; continuing the mass incarceration of Black and brown people; deporting millions of immigrants; and neglecting campaign promises made to the oppressed communities who represent their voting base, show that the Democratic Party only serves the agenda of the rich and powerful.”
The coalition’s opposition to Harris is clear. Abudayyeh, the coalition’s spokesman, said the switch to Harris “doesn't change the policies of Democratic Party leadership, specifically their support of the genocide in Palestine, so our movement must continue to apply pressure."
He added, "When it comes to the genocide in Gaza there is no difference between Biden, Harris, or any of the likely candidates for the nomination. They are all complicit. This is why the coalition will still be marching on the DNC in the tens of thousands."
The DNC is pretending that the protestors have nothing to do with the Democrat party and are not representative of the party. And yet these groups are the DNC's brownshirts that they call out whenever they want to intimidate the population.
We can only hope for use of the demonic Amerikan Rifle-15 to settle these formidable problems.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that the peace officers will be fully equipped with weapons of war.
DeleteAnyone considered resurrecting Arc Light operations on Chicago? Last I heard we still had 92 Buffs capable of flying; it would have to beat the onsie-twosie approach at control and based on what I've seen from some neighborhoods in Chitown the before and after pics wouldn't be much different.
ReplyDeleteCan't both sides lose?
