It’s a fucking joke...
Can you imagine what would have happened if a white dude faked an attack by black men!??
He wouldn’t have the charges dropped that’s for damn sure.
It’s a sad day for justice..

It's not a joke. There's nothing remotely humorous about this. It sure as hell is exemplary of American criminal justice. Criminal justice is exactly what it is, in fact.

Thanks!

Maybe it's a good chance this whole thing was set up from the beginning...Obama finding ways to still divide the country.

It seems very political. No actual justice has been served, in fact, a lot of criminals have just done their thing and been cleared of blame. It's messed up. Almost like they want more division at all costs.

Don't be fooled if you think race and sexuality has anything to do with this. This isn't black gay privilege; this is rich privilege.

I don't even think it's rich privilege. I think it's political intrigue, intended to shield Kamala Harris from being charged for recruiting Smollett to fake the attack so she could ram through the lynching bill. Race, sexuality, and religion are used to create the identity politics divide, so those are also political as well.

Just to be certain to establish this point: I am not racist. I think plenty of his fans are though, and I think identity politics is just another word for racism/sexism/whateverism. I am confident that both his race and sexual preference have contributed to his political position in this matter. Those aren't my preferences or racism. It's just what I see contributing to the political corruption ongoing in this case.

Thanks!

....it's beyond fucked, isn't it?

Something is just gonna have to give soon, one way or another..

Obviously the lunatics are running the asylum. My hope (if you can call it that) is that ordinary people previously believing 'this is the best system' will wake up and smell the coffee. What we have in America isn't remotely comparable to justice. It's nothing more than criminal conspiracy.

Thanks!

Yeah, I read the ZeroHedge Rahm Emanuel, Chicago's Top Cop Slam Dropped Smollett Charges As "Whitewash Of Justice" article this morning and it made me a bit sick...

Although we know that the US has a two-tier justice (Banana Republic) system with the politically-entertainment-deep-state connected get scott free if they exert their money and power. This is what happens on a daily basis in China.

There is a silver lining though, I think. At least we are seeing Chicago's Police head and Mayor showing their disgust with this farce:

(not that I like CNN, but the full press conference appears on it).

Silver lining, because the culprits - Michelle Obama, Tina Tchen, Kim Foxx, & Joe Maggot - are likely going to be further scrutinized. (at least I hope) And, perhaps, this will piss off enough of the common 'folk who are sick and tired of injustice.

Luke and Jason at WeAreChange.org also had a good take on it:

Time will tell...And I think there are still chapters to be written in this comedy...

Having read Emmanuel's comments, I don't see them as actual condemnation, but merely seeking to distance himself from any blowback of a situation I am confident he took an active part in.

A lot of people are being 'red pilled' on criminal justice and politics because of this story, and that's a good thing. It's probably a better thing than it's a bad thing that Smollett is completely immune to the consequences of his treason.

Sadly, almost no one makes the connection to the legislation I am confident this false flag was intended to enable.

Postal Inspector is really the only bureaucracy that is relatively uncorrupted and might act contrary to political influence in this case. We'll see what relative actually means soon, I reckon.

Thanks!

I would have thought libertarians and anarchists celebrating the evil state being unable to prosecute the noble "sovereign individual." I guess the freedom principle only applies to those of your faction.

I am dumbfounded that you fail to grasp humanity's need for security from false flag terrorist attacks isn't exactly why this is outrageous, and how it is precisely those venal overlords you incessantly flog as beneficial that have both executed this attack, as well as abused their captive governmental institutions to prevent that security from being effected.

You wear some bizarre blinders my friend.

This sad incident was the work of a disgrunted, overly entitled, self-absorbed adolescent clamoring for his rights against imagined boogey-men. Much of the humanist muck, whether clamoring for socialism or shrilling for freedom, exist in a delusional fantasy land, filled with imaginary monsters and goblins. The West no longer distinguishes between reality and reality tv, their brain so addled with paranoia regarding imagined entitlements and rights being "stolen" from them. The only "value" the humanist West possesses is adolescent rebellion. This Hollywood clown flouted the evil state authority. He is a hero for the degenerates of the humanist era. He is the epitome of the anarchist lunacy.

About the only thing I can address is that 'the' West is not a monolith, which you indicate by saying 'they' referring to it. Individual people, each viewing the reports on the matter from their unique perspective, each distinguishing between fantasy and reality per their unique perspective, do tend to form groups of folks sharing similar opinions. That is not 'the West', but some few of the groups that comprise the West.

The West has no opinion on this sad event. The groups that comprise the West do share viewpoints, and this is the purpose of psyops - to pit those groups one against the other, so that they are spending their time and attention on those contests for power, and being controlled by groups pitting them against each other the entire time. This is called the Hegelian Dialectic, and you're swimming in that pond. Your comment is an attempt to produce specific empowerment of one group or another, and if we take you at face value, it is those pitting sides against each other to rule over them by dividing them.

Don't see much point in that, unless they're paying you to, or you're one of the ruling class in that pond. That doesn't seem likely either, for some reason. Your last two sentences are completely contradictory, as the epitome of anarchism cannot be the hero of the degenerate humanists, because those are two completely different things. Anti-hero perhaps, because he is anything but an anarchist, having been shown to be deeply linked into the governmental political structure that refused to prosecute him.

Lunacy I do agree with. This whole story is the highest grade lunacy.

Ah, but in fact the West is a monolith of demoralized, amorphous, identity-less muck arrested in the adolescent stage of mental development. Both Antifa and the infinite number of "patriot"-this-that-or-other in North America are same "individuals" (as you term them) bickering to tear-down all semblance of law and order for nothing more than adolescent rebellion. Europe is already destablized, awaiting their final transformation and colonial governance. Modern West has no moral values and is nothing more than a gathering of prostitutes. You will be ruled by Marxist sociopolitical system within the next 10-years, even a blind man can see that eventuality. It may be better for your faction to integrate with the Antifa towards your inevitable future.

Sir, I must commend you on your brazen doubling down. I am confident that you are aware, and planned to achieve, my robust laughter at the very thought of being part of a faction, or integrating with the penultimate cultural marxists: antifa.

Kudos!

I can only point to myself as an example of an individual. I am a member of no political party. I do not advocate participation in any political system, and revile every political candidate extant that I am aware of. If there's a group of anarchists, then that's as close as I'll get to being an ideologue - but that's an oxymoron and you know it.

I won't be ruled by a Marxist system, or any system. As a free and sovereign individual I will negotiate as best I am able in the extant circumstances. If someone holds a gun to my head and demands something of me, I might comply if I expect dissembling to enable me to prosecute my life thereafter. That is the reality of power. However, I will make that decision, and might just not comply either. There are things worse than death, and I've been through some. That was educational, and I might do things differently should similar circumstances eventuate, but those events are beside the point, which being: I am an autochthon and decide at my sole option my course. The world is what it is, and I must react as well as be proactive to plan to avoid such traps. I would that I were better at it, but recognize that I am as fallible as anyone, and don't expect to outsmart hordes of highly paid experts.

I settle for just being obstinate. In that, I reckon we are peas in a pod =)

Thanks for the hearty laugh, and the valuable instruction.

YO! I would like to ask we(SHEEPLE) formerly STOP using terms like " white privilege" as we have ALL now been witness to this mockery of justice. Had indeed the roles been diff, in regards to race (especially this day in age), 16 counts of Felonious acts would HAVE NOT been dismissed but used as a soapbox against TRUMP.
We once again see that with affluence , money and the right group of meat puppets at your side..NO MATTER OUR RACE..you can do what you want.
Fucc THIS system.

I note that race had nothing to do with his political clout, except that it was part of why he had that clout. It is the politicization of law enforcement that is the actual issue here, and racism was the actual attack vector being used to harm society. Nonetheless, I completely agree with you that the concept of white privilege is essentially hallucinatory, facile, and in reality nothing more than psychological race warfare.

Thanks!

Divide and Conquer tactics at its lowest. Thank you for engaging in a hard topic. I appreciate intelligent conversation about these things. Much RESPECT

Props and respect right back to you. I've never seen a cowardly or pandering remark from you, and even if I may disagree (not that I do) i'll grant you complete credit for your integrity.

Thank you!

I AM a firm believer in HONESTY, INTEGRITY and of course RESPECT. The only time we cannot talk or disagree is when we have given up those moral traits. If I don't like or agree with something, I don't feel it as right to attack or shoot down another. I try and offer EVERYONE a chance to share their view with me. No point in belittling ANYONE for a simple belief or point of view.
THANK YOU!!
