Is this because he is now critical of Obama and says Obama deceived the American people?

“Police claim that Fairey caused about $9,000 in damage while he was in Detroit to complete a commissioned mural.”

Not very clear, but I’m guessing that the mural was legal, but he did the graffiti while he was in Detroit. Good - never could figure out why he got away with it in the first place - other than he was on Obama’s side.

Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us:

Stage One: Demoralization – Elimination of American Exceptionalism

Stage Two: Destabilization – Creation of economic, financial, and national security crisis.

Stage Three: Crisis (becomes accepted) – Lost national identity becomes accepted… A period of national rebranding transition where people are so overwhelmed by the change they become numb and begin to accept a ‘new normal’.

Stage Four: Communist Normalization – the people who helped orchestrate the change are now no longer needed

Every cloud has a silver lining.

It also means a purge of liberal idiots in general by the hand of other liberal idiots. “Purge” in the traditional communist sense. End result being fewer liberal idiots contributing to global warming via CO2 exhalation.

This CO2 reduction should immediately be countered by conservatives cooking and consuming large amounts of bacon flavored popcorn so as to cause Muslims to be offended as well.

Then we tell the muslims the remaining liberals drew a Mohammed picture and they kill each other off.

It’s the perfect plan.

Detroit has the highest level of welfare/food stamp participation rate in the Nation - seems like they have more pressing issues than chasing someone for “criminally” displaying some inconvenient truths about Obama.

Yes, but keep in mind they won’t start the purge until they are sure the citizenry is disarmed.

What will be left is a bunch of defenseless sheep who have seen millions slaughtered.

No will to resist.

We cannot let it get to that point.

The tens of millions of people that could not find the courage within themselves to vote for anything but lesser evils for three elections running already will do nothing but hit their knees when the Libs come calling with force.

Every Freeper should watch this interview where Yuri discusses what you outline:

Books to read (on this topic and just as a starting point — I have dozens more to recommend):
None Dare Call it Conspiracy
None Dare Call it Treason
The Naked Communist
The Naked Capitalist
Slouching Towards Gomorrah
The Creature from Jekyll Island
