Do you guys think that Russia and or ISIS might use this chance to fund the riots?

or in any other way provoke the violence to continue? taking a card out of the American playbook and try to destabilize?

ISIS? Good one.

Russia..highly unlikely. The CIA has it's "special activities" division and Russia's special activities division is basically whatever vlad wants. They're most likely sipping vodka and laughing at our uncontrolled filth. It's probably highly amusing to them.

I don't think there is any cause for alarm, but thinking about how you may have come to think there is made me realize something. A few days ago I tried accidentally to open the back driver side window of my car, a window that was basically stuck of the rubber weather stripping, and it came free, but it broke the window mechanism and the window will now go down by itself. It slides freely, but will stay up because it still sticks when all the way up. Your you post cause me to realize was the probable explanation why I had had this morning a puzzling dream which I wondered about. The broken window will allow anybody to get in my car if they knew it would open by pushing it down.

Well this morning I woke up out of a dream. I was at a gas station filling my car watching with interest a tiger that was standing in a field several hundred yards away. I was looking at it, filling my tank, as if I were at the zoo, when suddenly it started looking at me and charged. Now all of my attention turned to getting into my car, and the first thing I notices was there would be a race to see if I could get in and roll up the front and back window driver side windows which I noted were open. I was especially concerned about how to get to the back and crank the rear one up with a tiger trying to get in through it.

Thanks to your post I now realize why I had that dream. I realized when I saw that the electric window device in my car was broken that I had a security problem which by associations caused my dream. What thinking does is trip. It associated one thing to another. So when you begin with a bad thought and allow your thoughts to go, you take a bad trip. The answer to this is never to think, which for me is relatively easy.

Thought is time, worry about the future that the past will repeat, etc. Never think anything. Any opinion you may have that seems real, drop it like a hot potato. There is only the now, and in the now being awake, I don't see a tiger anywhere.

There is no gain for anyone from the riots. It's a bunch of stupid violent people doing stupid violent things. Nothing will change because of them. A few politicians will mouth the appropriate platitudes, a few cops will get extra training, and the story will dry up and blow away.

No gain for anyone?

The U.N. is involved now.
