Obama, Holder to Discuss Federal Actions to End Violence in Ferguson
The Hill ^ | Monday, August 18, 2014 | Justin Sink

Posted on 08/18/2014 7:08:46 AM PDT by kristinn

Attorney General Eric Holder will brief President Obama Monday on possible actions the federal government can take in Ferguson, Mo., after another night of clashes prompted Gov. Jay Nixon (D-Mo.) to call in the National Guard.

"The president has asked the attorney general to come in tomorrow to brief him on the state of the investigation on the ground,” said senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett in an interview with American Urban Radio Monday.

Jarrett said Holder would also discuss “any further actions that the federal government could play to help reduce the violence down to zero and make sure the public understands completely the scope of the investigation and what's going on on the ground.” The president and Holder are scheduled to meet at 1:15 p.m. in the Oval Office, following the worst night yet in the St. Louis suburb.

What are the feds going to do? Declare martial law? Suspend freedoms?

This is Obama’s chance to do what he and his handlers have always wanted to do — set up a dictatorship.

I really think they’re going for a trial run of martial law here. I wrote earlier that it looks like CNN is simply scripting “interviews” that advance the narrative. We’ve been hearing for a number of days about how Obama was coming back to the White House from his vacation (how far we have fallen when that is news), and in the absence of any other stated reason, this might be it.

We’ve got he autopsy, the Stop-and-Rob video, the background conversation in somebody’s youtube video that supports the police, all wrecking the narrative. They need to declare martial law in Ferguson ASAP before any more facts come out.

That’s not the purpose of this. They want to escalate the violence. They intend to escalate the violence. They will escalate the violence. To use an old southern term, they are agitators. They need a crisis to draw attention away from the rest of Obozo’s failures around the world. Then they will need another crisis to draw attention away from Ferguson when it becomes a failure.....................

The Fed’s to end violence will take guns from legal gun owners - just like after Katrina. That’ll stop the violence since it’s the legal gun owners who are protecting themselves is the cause - or something .....

Sounds like an agenda to protect “unarmed” thugs from physically smaller people who would use weapons to defend themselves.

lets see their answer,
all whites give up their hard earned wealth, all stores now federally regulated..all merchadise belongs to the state so, no cash registers needed, the inventory will be free to all..

after all cash registers are a sign of white suppression..

Because Chicago is already out of control like detroit, its their plan, as long as there are peaceful towns thats a problem to the anarchist, black theology muslims..

We are almost in a full blown war, with armies already in the country..

The Chief, the Patrolman, the Governor should have all said the same thing and that is wait for the facts. The Chief in my opinion was the most sane. THe patrol by then had to try a different tact which was ineffective and the governor is like a dishrag. He protected nothing in this state, allowing looting and destruction. Remember how tough they were on looters following the Joplin tornado.

I totally understand that. The Governor should tell the Feds to stay the hell out though. None of their business.
