The 60th anniversary of the Watts (los angeles) riots:

TV Guide, August 1965:

The only news feed was provided by helicopter, because... "The 46-square-mile [!] 'no man's land' was no land for men on foot or in cars and trucks. TV mobile units were overturned and burned, and cameramen, sound men and reporters (3 of whom had recently returned safely from Vietnam) were stoned and beaten and pursued through the streets by angry mobs. One Los Angeles station's car was pinned down by sniper fire. Three others were badly damaged, one by an ax. [The news stations] eventually switched to unmarked cars. [The copter pilots] were the target of sniper fire, but persisted in the coverage... State and city leaders took to TV during the long hot days of rioting and looting, to plead for order [Modern policing in a nutshell: "Oh, please, stop what you're doing!"] They eventually did have to call in the National Guard to stop the violence."

Here's wikipedia's take:

"The riots were motivated by anger at the racist and abusive practices of the los angeles police department, as well as grievances over employment discrimination, residential segregation, and poverty in L.A."

Really? Continue reading and it says the riots started because a black man was nabbed for drunken driving, and resisted arrest, along with his mother, who was also in the car. Sounds very familiar, doesn't it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_riots

The riots would seem to have justified not only segregation and non-employment but every fear white people held toward blacks, but you know the upshot: LBJ began the process of giving them everything they demanded and more. Instead of establishing unyielding draconian law enforcement, we handed over the keys to every city, every town, gave them our women and children, our art and culture-we even gave them legal marijuana!

Yes, the media was-and is-the enemy. But it's really just an arm of the real enemy, the government.

N.S.: The pretend encyclopedia retails nothing but communist/racial socialist fiction.

This is huge, especially the role of black supremacist snipers. They must have been organized before the L.A. riot, and the riot planned.

After the 1967 Detroit riot, "liberal" novelist and alleged journalist, John Hersey, wrote a book-length exercise in deflection, called The Algiers Motel Incident. In it, Hersey sought to distract and confuse people from the black race riot, by talking about some White cops' killing of black pimps, who "owned" one or two underaged, White sex slaves. Except Hersey didn't talk about the sex slavery issue. Hersey tried to get the cops imprisoned for murder. (This incident may have inspired Paul Schrader's screenplay for Taxi Driver (1976) which, originally, according to Steve Sailer, depicted the pimp as black, but the studio wouldn't have it, and so he was changed to Puerto Rican (Harvey Keitel). Had a black rescued black sex slaves from a White slaver, I have no doubt that Hersey would have approved.

google ai: "The Algiers Motel Incident was a notorious event during the 1967 Detroit riots where police and National Guardsmen — including Detroit police officers David Senak, Ronald August, and Robert Paille — killed three Black men and terrorized motel occupants. The incident involved a raid on the Algiers Motel, where officers beat and threatened residents. Despite the deaths and subsequent investigations, the officers involved were not convicted, sparking outrage and highlighting issues of racial injustice and police brutality in the U.S. justice system"

Another thing that Hersey fixated on, was a black sniper, who was shooting at the police and national guardsmen. Apparently, a great many black snipers, armed with military rifles, were firing on the cops and guardsmen. But Hersey came up with a ludicrous distraction, in which there was only one, superhuman black sniper, who would fire a few rounds at the cops and guardsmen, and then run a few blocks like an Olympic champion sprinter or middle-distance man, fire a few rounds at different cops and guardsmen, run a few blocks...

Hersey was ludicrous, but he was writing for ludicrous communists, who would force captive audiences of high school and college kids to buy his crap.

Seeing the organized snipers in L.A. makes one see the snipers in Detroit as part of a planned, continuous, violent chaos.

Arm in arm the media and feds have been. Still trying to decide on P.T. II.

That business about the pimp in TAXI DRIVER reminded me of the scene in KLUTE where Jane Fonda is seen with her pimp- white guy Roy Scheider. Roy is a good actor and looked convincingly sleazy, but it was probably another case of NOT wanting to cast a black (or other ethnic type) in the role. Can't have TOO much reality!

Another upshot of the rioting: Budd Schulberg, who had some good things to his credit (ON THE WATERFRONT, THE HARDER THEY FALL, WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN), showed he could be as liberal as the rest by establishing a "writers' workshop" for the underprivileged "youths" of Watts. Because if you just give the little darlings an outlet to express themselves, they won't grow up to be violent thugs. None of which would matter to me, except that in another instance of LIFE IS NOT FAIR, he was married to The Most Beautiful Woman In The World, actress Geraldine Brooks, who tragically died of cancer at around 52 years of age. No idea if she shared his liberalism or was just along for the ride.

PS- I checked to see if Pete Hamill's columns which I referred to recently were anywhere online, and got this from Google's AI:

"Pete Hamill did not write a column specifically about the actor Robert Ryan. The confusion likely stems from Hamill's column for the
Daily News in which he sometimes referred to himself as "Ryan". "

Well, so much for "Artificial Intelligence." Something else to spread idiocy online! (I have the column saved in my files somewhere. Who should I donate this stuff to when I go?)

An organization not run by blacks,fags or White women-- The "RM Library/,Museum of Facts". Build your own place and designate how it should be run.
