No Kings Protest Brought To You By The Democratic Party

By Bob Small

There’s no denial that the NoKings protest was a Democratic plot. This is only disappointing if you expected that this came from “the people” to use a socialism. A few examples from this article:

Already, I established in analysis for the Pearl Project, a nonprofit journalism initiative, that the protests are organized by 197 organizations aligned with the Democratic Party.

At least 70 unique Democratic Party committees and clubs are organizing at least 140 protest events across the country in at least 19 states and the District of Columbia.

Democratic Party clubs are also organizing protests in at least four countries overseas: Australia, Italy, Mexico, and Norway, with groups like Democrats Abroad Norway.

Lastly, one anonymous democratic volunteer said , “It feels less like a movement and more like a performance.” They were told which graphics to share, how to word the signs and even how to answer reporters.

“It is like the whole protest is a campaign rollout — but in protest clothes,” the volunteer said.

Not that other, non-Democratic groups weren’t involved but the big money came from the “Big D”.

See No Kings: A Rigged, Paid Uprising (As Usual) That Seems … and also“No Kings” Demonstrators Acknowledge Soros NGOs Paying … both these similar

Articles citing an outreach for “the toughest dudes in the area”. There’s also a listing of what we can safely call “Dem support groups”, much as there are also “GOP support groups”.

Under the second cited article, under the Craigslist ad title “Operator”, we learn that a weekly pay of $6,500 to $12,500 to those willing to “go into dangerous situations and work as “a select team of the toughest men in the area”. This ad was taken down before I could contact anyone in Swarthmore I knew who qualified for this position.

Since Larry Krasner no longer needs him, I guess “old George” has to do something.

California Governor Gavin Newsom responded to the posting, on X, of a photo of a burning car, with the citation “Another “mostly peaceful protest” brought to you by @Gavin Newsom. Deport”.

Newsom’s Press Office responded by asking “Are you going to send the marines the next time the Philadelphia Eagles win, too?”

Make of the above what you will.

Who else is behind No Kings

By Bob Small

There’s a plethora of agitation groups involved in the No Kings/No ICE Demonstrations. Some truly believe they’re on the right side of history by being on the “left side”.

Antifa has a long history of disruption and refuses to return any of my electronic messages, so they could present “their” side. Leads one to conclude they don’t have one.

BAP (The Black Alliance for Peace) is much more communicative. “Nuestra America” they have translated into “Our Americas” “to help bridge the gap between the US usage “America” that describes the United States as the only “America” and the concept put forth by revolutionary forces.” “

From Canada to Chile” as they say.

Their website is rather thick due to the inclusiveness of Spanish and “Haitian Kreyo;” for nearly every paragraph. They are currently working on a “Zone of Peace Campaign”.

Chirla is a pro-immigrant organization that is mainly based in California and was founded in 1986. They have along history of advocating for immigrant rights.

Their is a dedication to immigrant rights. Note, one of the listings under CSO is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra but nothing about immigrant rights.

The 1942 Attack On Ellwood

By Bob Small

The residents of Goleta, CA were preparing to listen to FDR deliver his “fireside chat” on the radio on Sunday Night, Feb 23, 1942, less than three months after the Dec 7 attack on Pearl Harbor At approximately 7:15 pm, a Japanese I-17 submarine began to fire at the Ellwood Oil Field’

The only injury was a soldier who had tried to deactivate an unexploded shell for which he later received a purple heart. This sub was later sunk in August 1943 by the Royal New Zealand Navy and US Navy Planes around Australia.

This gave birth to a large number of conspiracy theories. For one of these see Goleta the Good Land: Tompkins, Walker A.

Meanwhile, two days later, Radio Tokyo falsely reported “Santa Barbara, California was devastated by enemy bombardment.”

The American Oil and Gas Historical Society fills in some missing details Japanese Sub attacks Oilfield as the effects.. This not only fanned the flames of a Japanese invasion , “but quickly led to the largest mass UFO sighting in U.S. history.”

Meanwhile in LA “The U.S. Army’s 37th Anti-Aircraft Brigade fired at elusive “unidentified airplanes.” The brigade fired 1,340 rounds. “ Many Los Angelinos feared an alien invasion, either from Japan or from another planet.

The Carriage and Western Art Musem of Santa Barbera has a more succinct view of the incident. Monies were collected to build a bomber to be named “The Flying Santa Barbara” It remains unbuilt.

Besides influencing the decision to create the Japanese Internment this was “the furthest direct attack on a land target that the Japanese Empire” made during the war. This was the first bombardment of the US since the 1814 Battle of Baltimore.

Lest we state incorrectly that only Japanese and Japanese-Americans were interned during World War 2. both Germans Internment of German Americans and Italians were also interned, albeit at a much lower level.

Lastly, a John Belushi movie was made, based on “The bombing of Los Angelos” 1941 (film).

Based on the IMDB reviews it may be the worst movie associated with the name of Steven Spielberg.
