Every time a liberal bemoans “big money” in politics, it somehow always invokes the name “Koch” when, in fact, it should invoke the name “Soros”. George Soros, hedge fund billionaire, Nazi sympathizer, also known as the man who “broke the bank of England” despises the idea of “free markets” and capitalism as symbolized by the United States. As such, it’s become his life’s goal to create an “open society” which would, accordingly to Robert Chandler of Accuracy in Meida, “require terminating U.S. sovereignty, disposing of the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights, or at least modifying them with significant amendments to make them square with open society norms, and reforming the United Nations to facilitate a world socialist governance with the new social-political institutions to enforce its principles, such as the International Criminal Court.” Soros has been funding various “social justice” groups for a long time working on specific language and causes to undermine our rules of law in hopes of them one day falling. That time is now as noted in the upcoming amnesty declaration and Ferguson decisions.
How does George Soros relate to the Mike Brown case in Ferguson? Any number of organizations to which he supplies financing have worked their way into the narrative to promote the progressive agenda. These organizations could care less about “justice” for any particular person. They use special interest groups to push their global elitist agenda. We can always tell how “progressive” an organization related to ‘social justice’ is by the language used. It’s always pro ‘collective” terminology like “United Nations” and “International Criminal Court and never “pro-American” or “pro-individual” as in the “Bill of Rights” and the “Constitution” which are specific to American sovereignty and individual rights. It’s not a coincidence, then, that many of the collective terms are seen throughout many of the mission statements Soros financially supports that have shown up in Ferguson.
Starting at the top of the alphabetized list of groups to which Soros financially contributes, it does not take long to find that many of them have weighed in on the Ferguson situation. Starting with the Applied Research Center which views the United States as a nation where “structural racism” is deeply “embedded in the fabric of society”. It seeks to “build a fair and equal society” by demanding “concrete change from our most powerful institutions.” ARC arrived in Ferguson via Rashad Robinson, Executive Director of “Color of Change” and a board member of the Applied Research Center. He pushed the false narrative back in August that Michael Brown’s hands were “in the air” and that he claimed to yell, “I don’t have a gun, stop shooting!” We know the autopsy proves this incorrect now, but the Soros “social justice” minions jumped on it with their appropriate talking points before all the evidence was accumulated and the investigation completed. The point is and always has been to stir racial hate in order to promote the notion that America is inherently racist that must be destroyed via “social justice”. Note the language: “racism”, “equal”, “fair”, “change”, “concrete”…some of these terms will repeat later.
Next up is the Aspen Institute. This organization promotes radical environmentalism and views America as a nation plagued by deep-seated “structural racism.” It makes sense, then that Eric Holder did an interview with this source to complain about “leaks” from the investigation shooting of Michael Brown. Control the narrative. There’s that word “racism” again.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) used to conduct voter mobilization drives on behalf of leftist Democrats. These initiatives have been notoriously marred by fraud and corruption, so the name has changed depending on location. One of the side groups deeply involved in causing chaos in Ferguson is Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. Criminals are, of course, natural community organizers, and MORE pushed that recently in Ferguson. According to MORE, “The organizer’s first job is “community disorganization” by manufacturing crises in order to inflame the community. The organizer must “create the issues or problems.” He must “rub raw the resentments of the people of the community” and “fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression.” Community organizers in Ferguson are by fanning the flames of hate and busing in rioters from other areas: “We know outside groups visited us in August,” St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. “We are expecting that different people will come in from outside the St. Louis area.”
When paid protestors are bussed in, no longer is it a spontaneous backlash at a local tragedy. It is a planned, organized, and well-funded event meant to create division, divide, and distract. There are “rules of engagement” for these planned protests. Al Sharpton has even gone so far as to create a list of “community organized” cities for these protests throughout the country, much like the Occupy movements which was created and funded by, you guessed it, George Soros. Obama, the king of community organizers, told the rioters to “stay the course”, inciting violence as community organizers do, not trying to keep the peace as a leader would.
Moving onto the next letter, we find the Black Alliance for Just Immigration which seeks to create a unified movement for “social and economic justice” centered on black racial identity. Tia Oso, National Coordinator for the Black Immigration Network and BAJI Arizona Organizer uses the opportunity of a blog post to indoctrinate the youth on modern “social justice”. Facts matter not. Pushing anti-American hate ideology does, especially since they are financially backed by the American hating Soros: “BAJI is committed to championing Black leadership in St. Louis and beyond, because it is Black liberation struggles that have led to a more just and equitable society. Cornell West stated at Sunday night’s Mass Meeting at St. Louis University that “every generation of African people in the U.S. has had to fight for justice” and by mounting an organized resistance to police violence in their community, the millennial generation at the forefront of the Ferguson movement has taken the lead in the fight for the human and civil rights of all people.” More community organizing. Language: “liberation” (of blacks, not any individual), “equitable”, “society”, justice”.
The letter “C” brings us the Center for Community Change which recruits and trains activists to spearhead leftist “political issue campaigns.” Promoting increased funding for social welfare programs by bringing “attention to major national issues related to poverty,” the Center bases its training programs on the techniques taught by the famed radical organizer Saul Alinsky. Tammy Thomas-Miles, a field organizer for this Soros funded group, went to Ferguson for a first hand account of what was going on, and , as one might imagine, her report fit the narrative—more money, America sucks, and color over character. She writes, “ Organizers should put real energy toward creating real capacity, infrastructure and sustainability in Black and Brown led organizations. How do we generate economic security for all people and not corporations? Can we deliver popular/political education in a way that it creates a sense of urgency for oppressed people to vote in every election? Can we gain control of our governmental offices and create policies that work for “everyday” people? More progressive language- “Sustainabilty”, “oppressed”, “liberated”…
Of course, the old standby, the NAACP showed up in Ferguson, too. The NAACP supports racial preferences in employment and education, as well as the racial gerrymandering of voting districts. Underpinning its support for race preferences is the fervent belief that white racism in the United States remains an intractable, largely undiminished, phenomenon. Of course. However, this is the same NAACP which accepted $2,130,000 from Soros as a leader of the “Democracy Initiative” which centered around three key issues: fighting voter ID laws (remember all those cries of “racism” to perpetrate fraud?), changing the Senate rules to prevent filibusters (done) and getting “big money” out of politics (trying to undo “Citizens United” ruling?). The NAACP along with moveon.org (both Soros funded initiatives) demanded the state department indict George Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic”, on civil rights charges, even after the prosecution came nowhere near close to proving the charges filed against him in the death of Trayvon Martin. They are inciting the same type of hate rhetoric in Ferguson with demands for action, even if Darren Wilson is acquitted. Action for what? What they deem “social justice” which involves the destruction of the white man even though Soros is a white man. Oh, wait…it’s white AMERICANS. Moving on….
The last group worth noting (because there are MANY more) is one of the most hateful groups in the nation-the National Council of La Raza. This group lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate-crime laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens. They worked with other Soros funded groups like the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, and the Southern Poverty Law Center to put together a PSA that aired on MTV (target audience? Youth) that exploited the Ferguson situation via a false narrative of race hate to promote the progressive agenda. Hollywood will always give them time for that.
These are just a few of the Soros funded groups that are pushing the progressive agenda at the expense of a dead black kid in Missouri. They could care less about his name or the facts as to what happened. It’s a means to an end, and, as stated earlier in this piece, that is all that matters. The end game is the destruction of US sovereignty for Soros to instill and command a New World Order. I never used to believe in such a thing, but it seems to be happening right before our eyes. Ferguson will act as a distraction from tonight’s amnesty decree, which amounts to nothing more than spitting on the people of the United States as well as stomping on the Constitution, to help him along his path.
Ochlocracy ("rule of the general populace") is democracy ("rule of the people") spoiled by demagoguery, "tyranny of the majority", and the rule of passion over reason, just as oligarchy ("rule of a few") is aristocracy ("rule of the best") spoiled by corruption, and tyranny is monarchy spoiled by lack of virtue. Ochlocracy is synonymous in meaning and usage to the modern, informal term "mobocracy", which emerged from a much more recent colloquial etymology.
Polybius
The term appears to have been coined by Polybius in his Histories (6.4.6). He uses it to name the "pathological" version of popular rule in opposition to the good version, which he refers to as democracy. There are numerous mentions of the word "ochlos" in the Talmud (where "ochlos" refers to anything from "mob", "populace", to "armed guard"), as well as in Rashi, a Jewish commentary on the Bible. The word is recorded in English since 1584, derived from the French ochlocratie (1568), which stems from the original Greek okhlokratia, from okhlos ("mob") and kratos (meaning "rule, power, strength").
In ancient Greek political thought ochlocracy was considered as one of the three "bad" forms of government (tyranny, oligarchy and ochlocracy) as opposed to the three "good" forms of government (monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy). The distinction between "good" and "bad" was made according to whether the government form would act in the interest of the whole community ("good") or the exclusive interests of a group or individual at the expense of justice ("bad").
This (Polybian) terminology for forms of state in ancient Greek philosophy has become customary. It should be noted, though, that Aristotle terms democracy as “polity” (sometimes translated as “republic”, which confusingly is used by other Aristotle-translators for “aristocracy”, instead) while giving the name of democracy to ochlocracy.
An ochlocrat is one who is an advocate or partisan of ochlocracy. It can also be used as an adjective (ochlocratic or ochlocratical).
The threat of "mob rule" to a democracy is restrained by ensuring that the rule of law protects minorities or individuals against short-term demagoguery or moral panic. Though considering how laws in a democracy are established or repealed by the majority, the rule of law's protection of minorities is questionable.
Anarchism, meaning "without government", is a term covering various anti-authoritarian philosophies and movements, generally viewing themselves as socialist, which are dedicated to the replacement of states and/or governments (either capitalist governments or all governments) by various suggested alternatives such as autonomous self-realizing democratic structures. Anarchists reject the criticism that anarchism is inherently ochlocratic as a mischaracterization of anarchism, arguing that it includes theories of structure and mutual support rooted in democracy and free association.
Historians often comment on mob rule as a factor in the rise of Rome and its maintenance, as the city of Rome itself was large—between 100,000 and 250,000 citizens—while the aristocracy and even military was very small by comparison to the citizenry. Lapses in this control often led to loss of official power (and often enough, the heads of the officials themselves)—most notably in the reign of Commodus when Cleander unwisely used the Praetorian Guard against a mob which had come to call for his head. As historian Edward Gibbon relates it:
The people...demanded with angry clamors the head of the public enemy. Cleander, who commanded the Praetorian Guards, ordered a body of cavalry to sally forth and disperse the seditious multitude. The multitude fled with precipitation towards the city; several were slain, and many more were trampled to death; but when the cavalry entered the streets their pursuit was checked by a shower of stones and darts from the roofs and windows of the houses. The footguards, who had long been jealous of the prerogatives and insolence of the Praetorian cavalry, embraced the party of the people. The tumult became a regular engagement and threatened a general massacre. The Praetorians at length gave way, oppressed with numbers; and the tide of popular fury returned with redoubled violence against the gates of the palace, where Commodus lay dissolved in luxury, and alone unconscious of the civil war...Commodus started from his dream of pleasure and commanded that the head of Cleander should be thrown out to the people. The desired spectacle instantly appeased the tumult...
This followed a previous incident in which the legions of Britain had demanded and received the death of Perennis, the prior administrator. The mob thus realized that it had every chance of success.
The Salem Witch Trials, in which the unified belief of the townspeople overpowered the logic of the law, has also been cited as an example of mob rule. In 1837 Abraham Lincoln wrote about lynching and "the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country—the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions in lieu of the sober judgment of courts, and the worse than savage mobs for the executive ministers of justice".
The modern theories of civil disobedience and satyagraha can be differentiated from "mob rule" and its mechanics, as these approaches forego the use of violence and force that the mob of ancient times employed.
Traditional non-violent protest theory holds that if the demonstrators are restrained and do not do any violence, yet refuse to back down, then they could conceivably win, as they either will be joined by the forces they face, be allowed to defy the law or government openly and peacefully, or be physically attacked, struck down, and made into powerful moral symbols of the lengths to which the agents of the state will go to enforce its laws. However, police forces around the world have become adept at making such gatherings irrelevant by limiting them to areas, in some cases dubbed "free speech zones", sufficiently separate from the object of their discontent, the rest of the public, and the media, to make them easily ignored. Permitting requirements in many jurisdictions effectively make demonstrations without advance police permission illegal. Various efforts to increase demonstrators' communal intelligence and mobility using cell phone networks and bicycles have been employed to circumvent crowd control and marginalizing techniques. Flash mobs and Critical Mass style "bike block" actions are examples experimented with, with mixed results, notably during the 2004 Republican National Convention.
Modern theory concludes that since Roman guards, facing crucifixion for disobedience, could be swayed by mobs, it is also possible to sway modern police, even in a police state.

Over the last few days, one of the things that I have noticed were the OWS people (predominately rich white 18 - 30 year olds) in all the marches. It seems pretty obvious that the OWS crowd didn’t go away but changed their venue. Also notice that all of the marches have the contingents that shout down with capitalism, social justice, economic justice and all the other communist drivel.
Perhaps it is time to retreat, as did the Irish monks in times long forgotten.
Our only hope may be to quietly withdraw into like-minded conservative communities, keeping the best of our history alive and passing it along to our children.
And, practical skills! We risk it all if we forget how to churn butter, shoe a horse, weave fabric, etc.

In this fast-paced, reflective novel, (the second in a trilogy following Strangers and Sojourners) Michael O'Brien presents the dramatic tale of a family that finds itself in the path of a totalitarian government. Set in the near future, the story describes the rise of a police state in North America in which every level of society is infected with propaganda, confusion and disinformation. Few people are equipped to recognize what is happening because the culture of the Western world has been deformed by a widespread undermining of moral absolutes.
Against this background, the Delaney family of Swiftcreek, British Columbia, is struck a severe blow when the father of the family, the editor of a small newspaper which dares to speak the truth, is arrested by the dreaded Office of Internal Security. His older children flee into the forest of the northern interior, accompanied by their great-grandfather and an elderly priest, Father Andrei. Their little brother Arrow also becomes a fugitive as the government seeks to remove any witnesses, and eradicate all evidence of its ultimate goals.
As O'Brien draws together the several strands of the story into a frightening yet moving climax, he explores the heart of growing darkness in North America, examining events which have already occurred. The reader will take away from this disturbing book a number of urgent questions: Are we living in the decisive moment of history? How dire is our situation? Do we live in pessimistic dread, or a Christian realism founded on hope? This is a tale about the victory of the weak over the powerful, courage over terror, good over evil, and, above all, the triumph of love.
I vote we utilize our massive stockpiles of ammo and keep these savages penned in their self-made urban hovels until they exterminate each other. I ain’t one for walking away from my birthright and my life’s hard work like some fugging coward.
If some lowly death camp guard who has long since retired can be stripped of U.S. citizenship and deported for these type of activities, I don't understand why Soros cannot.
Other than the fact that he has a major ownership interest in the Democrat party.

It's time to stop puting the majority of Americans in an unfavorable light and start believing that we will get rid of these radicals soon. I believe it is going to take a great deal of effort to hold our newly elected officials accountable. We have to burn up the phone lines, text and email until our fingers get sore.
If something is worth fighting for, fight for it. I plan to take my own advice and communicate my feelings.

Ostensibly concerned with attempts of Democrat Party outsiders to wrest control from the party old-guard using netroots, powerful new means of fund-raising & connectivity centering around the internet, the author of The Argument ends up admitting that, by the 2006 mid-term elections, despite the influx of new blood, the Democrat Party was as far as ever from convincing voters—or itself—that it has any ideas or programs that make it superior to, or different from, the Republicans. Of special interest in The Argument is a PowerPoint® presentation nicknamed "The Killer Slideshow", formally titled The Conservative Message Machine's Money Matrix. Compiled over a period of about a decade by a leftist policy wonk, Clinton administration treasury official Rob Stein, the 2004 presentation used charts, diagrams and other graphic aids to detail the rise of the conservative foundation movement between the defeat of Barry Goldwater by President Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964, and Ronald Reagan's 1976 Republican primary challenge to President Gerald R. Ford. The Killer Slideshow—no one was allowed to view it without signing a non-divulgence agreement—took as its starting point the August, 1971 memorandum from future Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Lewis F. Powell, Jr., to Eugene B. Sydnor, Jr., Chairman, Education Committee, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Titled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System", the confidential memorandum was held to be the original inspiration for the system of conservative foundations, considered by Democrat Party operatives in The Argument to have locked down Republican Party domination of the Presidency for nearly thirty years between Carter and Obama, only interrupted by Clinton.
The presentation's point was to exhort leftist donors into replicating the Republicans' long-term, Presidential electoral success |

It won't work. He's having his brain saved for posterity.
Thanks for the link to Michael O’Brien’s book. It is going on my “must read” list. I am interested in the trilogy, thanks to your post.
Wish I could convince my adult children that the “carnival” will end, and the rides will come to a grinding halt. But, they are mesmerized, corporatized, and running on the hamster wheel of progress.
I am now a “generation past” in their eyes, which roll whenever I mention 18 trillion dollar deficits, and unfunded debts of over 100 trillion - beyond imagination. I have learned not to mention the quadrillion in derivatives, hedge funds, or any of that “icky” stuff they are too busy to consider.
Feeling a bit discouraged tonight, and wondering how long “TPTB” can keep all the plates spinning in the air?
Bttt!
