Food for Thought: Were the protests against Trump's rally in Chicago Strategically Organized?

Soros-Backed Pro Clinton Group Caught Funding Violent Protests to Smear Sanders & Trump

Jay Syrmopoulos March 14, 2016

Longtime Clinton aligned organization MoveOn.org is raising funds to continue to disrupt Donald Trump rallies, according to emails sent out to members. While seemingly innocuous at first, the emails are potentially indicative of something much more calculating and sinister.

“Last night, without consulting local police, Donald Trump abruptly cancelled a rally in Chicago in the face of massive and overwhelmingly peaceful student-led protests,” an email to MoveOn.org members stated. “We’re being flooded with aggressive emails and social media posts from Trump supporters. Some of them are threatening. We refuse to be intimidated by Donald Trump, Fox News, or anyone else…”

“So here’s the plan: We’ll support MoveOn.org members to call out and nonviolently protest Trump’s racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, and violent behavior — and show the world that America rejects Trump’s hate. And to keep it going, we’re counting on you to donate whatever you can to cover the costs of everything involved — the organizers, signs, online recruitment ads, training, and more.”

The email asks for a donation of $3 to continue the campaign against Trump.

So what could be sinister about that, right? .....

In light of the recent violence that has transpired at a Trump event in St. Louis, the subsequent canceling of the Chicago rally, a closer analysis of the dynamic at play is warranted.

This past weekend, political operative Roger Stone stated that the disruptive violence at the Trump rally was actually a political false flag event staged by the Clinton campaign in an attempt to discredit rival Bernie Sanders.

“The entire conflagration in Chicago is a Hillary Clinton operation,” Stone said during a phone interview with Alex Jones. “Frankly, I can’t see Bernie Sanders having anything to with it… this is not his handiwork.”

Stone went on to implicate George Soros, MoveOn, David Brock and Media Matters for America and “the reclusive millionaire, Jonathan Lewis.”

Remember that Moveon.Org was an organization founded with the distinct purpose of fighting back against the effort to impeach President Bill Clinton, thus allowing America “move on” to issues of substance, with billionaire European financier George Soros contributing millions to the progressive organization.

The fact that the group’s members have endorsed Sanders actually gives the organization’s leadership room to operate in a manner that could actually hurt Sanders and bolster the efforts of longtime ally Hillary Clinton.

So while officially backing Bernie Sanders, the traditionally Clinton aligned organization sent out a fundraising emails regarding the Chicago protests of a Donald Trump rally Friday that resulted in the Republican presidential front-runner canceling his scheduled event, with the group admitting that they provided protesters and material support for the protests against Trump.


A group that has officially supported Sanders, but is historically considered a Clintonian organization, is materially supporting mass protests against Trump.

So, if things devolve into violence at Trump rallies that MoveOn.org is advocating and supporting protesting, which presidential candidates will ultimately suffer?

Obviously Sanders and Trump – leaving Clinton to be the main benefactor of these strategic

Important to factor in: Roger Stone is a former Republican/Libertarian who worked on the Trump campaign;

Nonetheless, my .02 on the Chicago protests was that the optics would not appear good to those over 30. And, it seemed odd that there did not appear to be any Clinton supporters protesting but maybe there were.

mods: this is just food for thought; i came across this on The Nation and followed the link.

1. Everyone can stop reading at "Clinton aligned organization MoveOn.org"

Because it's obviously BS. They have endorsed Bernie. They endorsed someone other than Hillary in 2008.

And then you quote an Alex Jones interview?

[NastyRiffraff]

22. I had to laugh when I read that

Jeez, the BS (pun intended) is flowing here!

[synergie]

2. Gee, is this the Moveon.org that endorsed Bernie? Oh noes!!

The attempted Clinton smear with right wing propaganda just landed on Bernie, whom those protesters were chanting about.

[gwheezie]

3. Hillary killed Vince Foster

In Benghazi to make Bernie look bad.

[sufrommich]

4. Alex Jones? Really?

5. My wife and I attended a Move-On event the day before the Iowa Caucus.

Wanna guess who we met there?

[amborin]

6. moveon members support Bernie; but does the leadership? IDK;

[stone space]

7. You'll have to ask them. It was their event.

Incidentally, I have no problem with folks nonviolently protesting at a Trump event.

Do you?

[synergie]

8. Realy? But I thought when organizations as a whole endorsed Bernie, as Moveon did, that meant that

their leadership was on board. Wasn't Moveon held up as an example of a leadership that listened to its members online votes?

Yup, the leadership listened to its members, and here you are saying how they were colluding with Bernie supporters to attack Trump and his poor, sweet, innocent supporters?

If Moveon owns this, and the people they plotted to send in were decked out in Bernie gear and chanting Bernie!!!, then Bernie owns this.

The right wing source you chose is pretty clear about this being a "left wing plot" by Moveon, which is all in for Bernie, so you're saying that Bernie is responsible. That sounds an awful lot like what Trump has been saying. Why are you smearing Bernie?

[Walk away]

9. Moveon admits to helping to organize the protests. They printed the signs.

Bernie would blame Hillary for his gray hair if he could!

[zappaman]

10. LOL!!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Move On was part of the coalition that organized this

as to the rest, well I will take that tinfoil.

[suffragette]

12. NEVER believe anything Roger Stone has to say

The guy sports a Nixon tattoo and has engaged in dirty tricks since Nixon days.

Him saying this is purely meant to rile up strife between Democrats and to falsely portray the protestors as creating an atmosphere of violence when it has been Trump exhorting his supporters to violence that has created that.

Do not for one second believe Stone has motives other than the underhanded, criminal ones that have always been his hallmark.

[JaneyVee]

13. MoveOn endorsed Sanders.

[mcar]

14. moveon.org is a Clinton-aligned organization?

[Godhumor]

[Iliyah]

[loyalsister]

27. Give the grassroots activists some credit!

I'm sure they put a lot of work into it and should get respect for organizing.
