A Potemkin Village is a best described as: “an impressive façade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition“.
The media narrative surrounding the Baltimore Riots is one such construct.
These undesirable facts and conditions the progressives desperately need to avoid are  being brutally spotlighted in Baltimore Maryland. A cultural petri dish of necessary avoidance to hide the reality of progressive racial failure.

One easy to identify example of their efforts therein has recently surfaced.  It surrounds the media’s desperate desire to hide the violence within Baltimore.

The staff of the City Paper of Baltimore was challenged in their reporting. City Paper editors and writers framing the rioting masses as “peaceful protestors“, while the public at large sees “violent antagonists“.

Today President Obama addressed the state of emergency in Baltimore Maryland, calling the violent reactions “counter-productive.”

Question:  How many is a “handful”?
 

There’s a really weird bit of discussion beginning in the media about the Baltimore Riots being pre-planned and organized. It’s almost as if they are trying to create the appearance of some weird kind of conspiracy theory.

Local reporter and councilman say Baltimore riots were PLANNED in ADVANCE http://t.co/kHCBd60bVp

Apparently many people were shocked by the riots; as if unexpected or something.
To believe it was a spontaneous uprising is actually silly.  There was a plan put in place on social media on Sunday.  However, it’s not some grand conspiracy – just a common social media plan shared quickly and executed as scheduled.
Here’s the meme which began it: (more…)

Shooting: 1700 block Fulton Avenue. Woman reported to be shot in the leg. Western district detectives investigating.

The media continue to ask the question of why the police in Baltimore are not doing more to stop the violence and rioting throughout Baltimore. The answer is quite simple. Baltimore has been the bastion of political correctness and wilful blindness toward race-based violence for several years. Officials cannot now expose something they have tried to hide for almost a decade.

The City of Baltimore is comprised almost entirely of black leadership. The Mayor is black, the police Chief is black, almost the entire city council is black, the law enforcement community is mostly black – yet the rioting masses continue to say they are oppressed. It is simply a factually incorrect race-based narrative. (more…)

Baltimore police are warning that there is a “credible threat” to “take-out” law enforcement officers, according to a press release from the Baltimore Police Department. The Black Guerilla Family is the same group who put out the call to assassinate police in New York City resulting in the death of NYPD officer Rafael Ramos and Officer Wenjian Liu.

The Black Guerilla Family group, formed in the 1960s in the California prison system, recently surfaced on the East Coast and Maryland, where members are at the heart of a drug-trafficking and corruption probe within the Baltimore prison system. (more…)

It’s not accidental, it’s not a mistake – nor is it coincidental.

It is a well scripted “social jihad”.

Baltimore Maryland erupts in riots, looting and civil unrest – and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings goes on television to thank the Nation of Islam for their support:

Pictured below -yesterday- are the “Bloods” and “Crips” gangs, together with the Nation of Islam (guys with red bow ties) in Baltimore. Note the Nation of Islam giving the extended forefinger salute representing allegiance with ISIS.

Stop me when you’ve heard this before. The media headline reads “Baltimore man attacked by a group of juveniles”. What the headline intentionally avoids is the reality of a 61-year-old white male being attacked by a group of 15 to 20 black high school students for absolutely no reason.
The entire event was captured on a business CCTV system, which might lend the reader to think: great, the suspects will be captured (screen grab below).

Not so fast…..  Once again you see the familiar tactic of the Baltimore County Maryland police asking the business owner not to release the video footage. The police demand the CCTV footage not be released, yet the last line in the politically correct worded article says: (more…)

CNN continues the drumbeat against police in Baltimore Maryland regarding the death of Freddie Gray. Today the Baltimore police chief held a lengthy press conference. The police chief, the mayor and the local community leaders are under exceptional pressure as the professionally aggrieved advance upon Baltimore.

Amid the current climate it was announced today the NAACP, National Action Network (NAN), the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), the Nation of Islam, along with Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Jamal Bryant, Malik Shabazz and Marc Morial, are all converging on Baltimore for a weekend of protests and grievance rallies.

The VSU Flag stomping protest has brought sunlight upon a series of events on the VSU campus that has now expanded in an alarming manner.  This is no longer even remotely related to disrespecting or burning a flag.

VALDOSTA, Ga. — At 3:05 p.m. Wednesday, from the steps of Valdosta State University’s West Hall, the father of Eric Sheppard issued the following the statement:
“Son, you know we love you and have always taught you to do the right thing and make wise decisions. Please make the right decision and turn yourself in, either to the authorities or to me, and we will handle this together. We love you and are here for you, as you requested.”
— Eric Sheppard Sr., father of Eric Sheppard.

At the heart of the issue is a student agitator named Eric Sheppard Jr. who previously organized an event to stomp on the U.S.A. flag and then burn it.
An Air Force veteran, Michelle Manhart, inadvertently brought sunlight upon the VSU activity when she picked up the flag and would not allow it to be desecrated – she was initially arrested, then released.
The student group behind the Flag Burning initially refused to identify themselves. However, through researching the social media of event participants we discovered who they were, and more importantly identified their ideology.
Eric Sheppard Jr. was the organizer of the event, and is an advocate for a militant Black Supremacy movement. He is pictured throughout his social media profile with alarming messages supporting violence and carrying numerous weapons. (more…)

Baltimore Maryland – Hometown for Reverend Jamal Bryant and AME Empowerment Temple.  There’s an ideology, a belief system, embedded into the social fabric there:

→ Example #2 Middle School Takes 11-year-olds to hear Louis Farrakhan speech (link)
