It's tin foil hat time.
Punk'd by anti-racists who get them to cheer rant against European-American immigrants

"It's no secret that with an invasion of immigrants comes waves of crime. We see them involved in massive theft, in murder, and bringing diseases like smallpox, which is responsible for the death of millions of Americans... state police working the rally... pushed back those being attacked, rather than those attacking the counter protesters."

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Puppet Government: "This happens all the time. There was nothing nefarious about it."
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/us/politics/15health.html?_r=1
"Statements by more than a dozen lawmakers were ghostwritten, in whole or in part, by Washington lobbyists working for Genentech... lobbyists drafted one statement for Democrats and another for Republicans."
Trafigura-gate: Crime and Cover-up
http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Minton
"The UK media has been suppressed from mention the report or its contents since a secret gag order was issued against the Guardian newspaper on September 11, 2009... An attempt by a member of parliament to subvert the gag order, by mentioning "Minton report"... in the House of Commons, lead to a major uproar on October 12 and 13, following an attempt by Trafigura to apply the gag order to parliamentary reporting... The UK press gag remains in effect."
No "God Bless Fort Benning" at 20th Anniversary of Assassinations
http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/fort_benning/story/915473.html
It was 6 a.m. on Nov. 16, 1989, when a gardener named Obdulio Ramos saw that six Jesuit priests and his wife and daughter had been gunned down by soldiers in El Salvador... 18 of the soldiers involved were graduates of the Fort Benning school... no "God Bless Fort Benning" rally will be downtown. That event, which for years was held to counter the protest and show appreciation for soldiers training on post, was changed to "Boots on Broadway" and held this year in late October.
Latvia: Teachers, doctors have such lousy wages "there are not swearwords in our dictionary sufficient to describe it"
http://socialistworld.net/eng/2009/11/1603.html
"in January, at a demonstration of 10,000 angry protesters, stones and snowballs were thrown at the Saeima – the Latvian parliament... The government resigned some weeks later... the banks complained heavily when the Latvian government floated the idea that housing debts should be reduced to the value of the house."
India: "Green Hunt Will Result in Genocide of Adivasis"
http://southasiarev.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/indian-gandhian-says-green-hunt-will-result-in-genocide-of-adivasis/
"Medical officers tell me ruefully that it’s the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) that beat up their doctors who go into the jungle to treat patients. They beat up teachers too... Every day, your forces demand liquor, chickens, women... they behead a child in front of his grandfather, rape Adivasi women at will... Green Hunt will result in genocide of Adivasis. Those who survive will become Naxalites."
