We've got a whole new class of opiates
To blunt the stench of discontent In these corporation nation-states
Where the loudest live to trample on the least
They say it's just the predatory nature of the beast
But, the barons in the balcony are laughing
And pointing to the pit
They say, "Aw look, they've grown accustomed to the smell
Now, people love that spit
And we're workin' it." Workin' it
I've looked at a ton of videos and stills from Charlottesville and I didn't see any buses.
Made up to appeal to people who desperately want this to be something other than it was.
His Facebook articles portray him as a Trump supporter and a proponent of theories that Soros funded a faked "false flag" in Charlottesville, articles critical of mainstream Black culture, etc.... [snip]... In other words, Mr. Patrick cannot be considered an unbiased source in my opinion.
Further, in the video (which is highly edited with multiple cuts and skips) he is deliberately leading this Eyewitness through a prepared story.
Further, she describes the area she was in as downtown in an area frequented by crowds of people. If these crowds of people had witnessed these events ... why isn't anyone telling this story to, say, Fox News or Breitbart?
On several occasions, she's stressing for some reason that there are both Black and White people in the restaurants in this area (and is encouraged by Mr. Patrick to do so). So what? it's 2017 not 1957.
...she suddenly remembers that she's been seeing BLM folks all week in the area... [snip]... and then she goes on to say that in her many conversations throughout the week many people also confided in her that they were KKK, etc.
That all seems ... unlikely. And besides, if there were authentic BLM and KKK in town during the week, why are they suddenly paid actors on the day of the march?
Interesting thread and I'll remove myself now to avoid derailment. Good luck with it.

Just finished listening to the video. That's beyond disturbing! I don't think she's lying.
This was a planned, paid, faked event. Black activist groups and white activist groups riding in on the same buses??? Armed, tossing things at all and sundry?
I find it quite interesting, too, that she says the woman killed was in favor of the statues remaining.
So, targeted by a claimed "white supremacist", why, exactly? That would make no sense. Seems more likely this guy was part of the paid group, and hit people to further their agenda.
THIS is a reason to carry a gun. Be armed, anywhere and everywhere, all the time. Be ready to defend against these terrorist, anarchist scumbags.

The part with the KKK and BLM arriving on the same busses shines a completely new light on Trumps "many sides" remark. What if he knew what was going on and hinted to us that there is another faction involved that wants to stir up trouble and cause chaos on both sides.
Was Fields just another pawn that got sacrificed? The picture i'm getting is pretty disturbing. This starts to look more like a set up to give the media what they needed to keep bs narratives about Trump alive and well.
Now after saying that, watch this video of the White Supremacists who held a press conference today because their event was canceled.
This video is a game breaker for me and it should be for anyone else of sound mind as to how we are being manipulated as a populace.
The biggest threat to any government is a man/woman who promotes peace.

I've looked at a ton of videos and stills from Charlottesville and I didn't see any buses.
95% of teens and adults in this country have a camera on their person these days, even when there's not a massive rally & protest that is also being filmed by live streamers, local and national news.
We know there were already at least 250-300 rally goers (at least) in Charlottesville on Friday night.
There are stills of many of the people with shields and many of them are easily identifiable or in clusters with members of the same groups who are identifiable. Aside from the cops, there were also a number of militia there until 1ish.
I'm highly skeptical. I'm still researching it but I can tell you that there is a pretty well developed "scene" out on the West Coast of hooligans, agitators and people streaming them. Many of whom have been able to monetize the activity, usually by begging for donations. (GoFundMe, Patreon, etc). Some of these folks were in fact at UTR.
I suppose it's possible but it doesn't sound likely. Why show up together on the same buses? I mean this is so clandestine that nobody captured it on film and only one person is talking about it but they didn't think it would be potentially problematic to show up on the same buses and just go at it in front of a witnesses to draw even more attention to yourself?
Is that how you'd do it? Wouldn't you split them up and drop them off separately? It's a little far-fetched for me. It just seems like unsophisticated, fabricated, conspiracy porn.

I'm calling BS. I know people that live in Charlottesville. I know people that attended the rally. I know journalists that covered the rally. This doesn't jive with any of their stories. Not only that, but her description of the driver doesn't mesh with the actual layout of the area at all.
