This is true, though the right does seem to like them more. For example, there seems to be a lot more right and conservative people on the whole "flat earth" bandwagon. But yeah, humans in general tend to have a rather hypocritical side because of the nature of ego, which is part of the body package. Whether you come here from the core of Source (the fastest vibratory, most expanded consciousness level there is) or from one of the temporal hellish dimensions in the human connected afterlife system (corresponding to Saturn, Mars, and/or sometimes Pluto astrologically), once you connect to a body, you will have some ego.

And what is the trend of ego and thus humans? "Rules for thee, but not for me". And we always have blind spots, and often project our shadows, unconsciously, unto others. Often, what we accuse others of and/or judge them for, we unconsciously have within ourselves as well.

The only way around this, is to look very deeply and honestly at self, accept those tendencies and/or aspects, and choose to transform them via attunement to Love. This is not an easy process though. If it were, there would be a lot more Yeshua and "He/She" types running around out there. And clearly, there aren't, or they are just very, very, very good at hiding themselves.

As to the changes. There are a few things going on simultaneously. The Earth's magnetic field is decreasing at a rate more unexpectedly fast than researchers previously thought and estimated. This is problematical because the magnetic field is the Earth's main shield for Solar and cosmic energetic events/energies. For example, humanity was very lucky that the Carrington Event happened in 1859 when electricity and technology was in its infancy and people were not dependent on these. It did however, completely destroy the telegraph system in place at the time.

If that had happened today, we'd be back in the pioneer days immediately and for many years, especially since the magnetic field is noticeably weaker now than it was then. Meaning, we wouldn't even need a Carrington level Solar storm/CME event to destroy the electrical grid system now. It could be at 20% less power/intensity and still take down the electrical grid systems.

We are very and overly reliant on some very, very fragile systems.

So this is what I've been told and/or have pieced together over the years. Within the next couple to six years or so, some of this is very likely to manifest. First event will be a Solar storm/CME strong enough to take out the electrical grids. As mentioned previously, this will force people to get back to nature and to community, just for our very survival at first.

Then, sometime after (I don't know how much), a much more powerful and destructive Solar event is likely to happen. Such events could be called "micro" or "mini" novas--they do not destroy themselves like in a super nova. We have observed various other Stars that go through cyclical or semi cyclical patterns of tremendous outbursting. Some of these outburst so strongly that they create sizable pieces of matter that would appear like meteorites to small asteroids in their shell discharging.

If this happens with our Sun and there is MUCH past evidence to suggest that it does and on a pretty regular cyclical cycle (about every 12, 000 or so years), then not only does half of the Earth get essentially temporarily burned up (and there are many "myths" around the globe about this), but we also experience meteorites and small asteroids (created by the Sun in this explosive shell discharging process), and electrical arcing/discharge that acts like super lightning.

(Some people think that this electrical discharge created the "super lightning" that damaged the Sphinx and which Khufu noted was around before him and had been damaged in antiquity by an intense lightning type event).

Then, shortly after that intense Solar event, there will be a crustal shifting. The problem with crustal shifting is that while there is plenty of evidence for same, Hapgood (a CIA connected professor) really messed up the whole theory and probably on purpose. The main evidence against crustal shifting is ice core drilled samples, indicating that it appears that the ice has been continuous in these areas for a very long time.

But there are two things that can happen. One, the Earth's crust shifts temporarily to a new location and then sometime later, shifts back to the old location, and then, it can also essentially do a 180 where the poles exchange places. Either one of these would confuse the data when looking at very long stretches of time. Yet, as mentioned, there is a lot of physical evidence for these crustal shifts.

And some of the magnetic data was incomplete when it first came out. There was a revision/update in one study (ironically one of the main studies to supposedly "debunk" crustal shifting/displacement), which showed some very different latitude and longitude changes from the original data set. If you are interested in further research and delving into these topics, no better resource than Ben Davidson and Suspicious Observers on youtube and on their website. Particularly look at Earth Catastrophe Cycle playlist. There is an overview infomentary video labeled something like, CIA Classified: the next end of the world.

It is titled same, because the CIA in the 1960's literally classified a previously publicly available book about pole shifting and catastrophe cycles. They clearly didn't want the public to know about something that was contained in this book. The CIA doesn't classify things willy nilly and just for the heck of it. Ben goes into depth about that in that infomentary.

The interesting thing is to me, is before I watched said infomentary, I had previously been shown all of these events from guidance in dreams and deep meditation, as well as my spouse and an unusually spiritually intune and guidance conscious friend of mine getting similar messages that have helped to fill in my own some.

I've been shown a global collapse, I've been show the Solar outburst, been shown the crustal slipping/shifting. For example, when I was doing The Monroe Institutes Gateway Voyage for home CD "Wave" set, and had been meditating intensively for a week or so, towards the end, I asked guidance during a deep meditation with no preconception or belief, what about earth changes if any? I had a brief waking dream wherein I observed the Sun looking very red/flaring and almost angry or chaotic feeling in nature. Another time later on, during deep meditation I again asked similarly and was shown the Earth in space, and it looked like when a top has started to slow down in it's spinning and starts to wobble back and forth crazily.

I should note, whenever I open self up during meditation and when I ask for guidance, I always make the specific intention ahead of time and ask to connect to only the most helpful, positive, Love attuned, mature sources there are. I'm not interested in communicating with any regular ole guide or helper (some who may be only as aware or a little more aware than myself), and certainly not interested in communicating with anti-guidance in the guise of same. I also always focus on feeling Love and/or gratitude before asking guidance questions, because I have noticed that this helps me to connect more strongly and clearly to real and more expanded guidance, and helps my perceptual process as well (tend to perceive more clearly).

From a more purely scientific point of view, we are coming up to the Solar maximum part of the 11 or so year mini Solar cycle. At least one scientific/research group has recently forecasted that there are some indications that this Solar max cycle may be more of doozy (more active/powerful) than previously expected and more so than the last one. Obviously this remains to be seen. Normally wouldn't be a big deal except for the exponentially decreasing magnetic field strength.

However, based on some very specific guidance messages that my spouse, my friend, and I have received, I expect some of the big changes to start relatively soon. As mentioned, possibly as soon as within the next couple of years. Mainly a Solar Storm/CME just strong enough to knock out all or most grid systems.

I know this may sound frightening to some, but if you were aware of what the psychopathic plutocrats plans are for humanity, you would understand that this intervention is a MERCY, and will also help humanity to grow spiritually a lot faster and more collectively than it would otherwise.

Eventually these changes will lead to what Bob Monroe, Howard Storm, Edgar Cayce, Steiner, indigenous/Native peoples, shamans, various prophets of various different world relgiions, etc have all seen-- A golden, or rather, a White/Clear Light Age in the further future for humanity. Wherein humanity will FINALLY get its collective, spiritual act together and learn how to really Love in a Source and divine, Christ and Buddha like way i.e. universal Love.

This will lead to a collective spiritual attunement, happiness/joy, and peace that humans and the Earth have not seen for a very, very long time. Suffering, which is so prevalent and common now among so many and much of us, will be a shadow of a memory then. And we will get to this ultimate point of growth, sooner than most might think. Within a thousand years or so from now.

And really, even in just 10 to 20 years after the collapse, humanity will be rather different than now in some key ways. Basically the way of the future are local intentional communities, where each community has a kind of specific focus that people get attracted to. Some communities will be art or creatively focused, some more nature or gardnening focused, some more scientific focused, some more purely spiritually and consciousness exploration focused, etc, etc.

And people will share and give freely to each other. We won't care about amassing wealth and possessions and being "better" or "having more" than the other, etc. And the people who are geared towards that and want to continue the old ways will be counseled, attempted to be helped/healed, and if they can't change they will be outcasted as to not infect others with their slow vibratory/lacking in Love energies/ways, for people will be MUCH more consciously psychic in these future times. Things like seeing or sensing auras, telepathy, etc will become more and more common. We will be able to really see the spiritual sickness and lack of Love in ASPD types.

Ultimately, if we handle these changes right, the probable future is a very, very positive one. Yes, we will have to go through some very intense and major challenge to get there, but who among us has ever grown and changed positively a lot from easy conditions? I certainly never have. It has always been the most testing, stressful, challenging, difficult events and processes that have helped me grow the most.

US police three times as likely to use force against leftwing protesters, data finds

Law enforcement responses to more than 13,000 protests show a clear disparity in responses, new statistics show

Police in the United States are three times more likely to use force against leftwing protesters than rightwing protesters, according to new data from a non-profit that monitors political violence around the world.

In the past 10 months, US law enforcement agencies have used teargas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and beatings at a much higher percentage at Black Lives Matter demonstrations than at pro-Trump or other rightwing protests.

Law enforcement officers were also more likely to use force against leftwing demonstrators, whether the protests remained peaceful or not.

The statistics, based on law enforcement responses to more than 13,000 protests across the United States since April 2020, show a clear disparity in how agencies have responded to the historic wave of Black Lives Matter protests against police violence, compared with demonstrations organized by Trump supporters.

Barack Obama highlighted an earlier version of these statistics on 8 January, arguing that they provided a “useful frame of reference” for understanding Americans’ outrage over the failure of Capitol police to stop a mob of thousands of white Trump supporters from invading and looting the Capitol on 6 January, a response that prompted renewed scrutiny of the level of violence and aggression American police forces use against Black versus white Americans.

The new statistics come from the US Crisis Monitor, a database created this spring by researchers at Princeton and the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project (ACLED), a nonprofit that has previously monitored civil unrest in the Middle East, Europe and Latin America.

The researchers found that the vast majority of the thousands of protests across the United States in the past year have been peaceful, and that most protests by both the left and the right were not met with any violent response by law enforcement.

Police used teargas, rubber bullets, beatings with batons and other force against demonstrators at 511 leftwing protests and 33 rightwing protests since April, according to updated data made public this week.

The Guardian compared the percentage of all demonstrations organized by leftwing and rightwing groups that resulted in the use of force by law enforcement. For leftwing demonstrations, that was about 4.7% of protests, while for rightwing demonstrations, it was about 1.4%, meaning law enforcement was about three times more likely to use force against leftwing versus rightwing protests.

The disparity in police response only grew when comparing peaceful leftwing versus rightwing protests. Looking at the subset of protests in which demonstrators did not engage in any violence, vandalism, or looting, law enforcement officers were about 3.5 times more likely to use force against leftwing protests than rightwing protests, with about 1.8% of peaceful leftwing protests and only half a percent of peaceful rightwing protests met with teargas, rubber bullets or other force from law enforcement.

“Police are not just engaging more because [leftwing protesters] are more violent. They’re engaging more even with peaceful protesters,” Dr Roudabeh Kishi, ACLED’s director of research and innovation, told the Guardian. “That’s the clear trend.”

ACLED’s data also shows that US law enforcement agencies were more likely to intervene in leftwing versus rightwing protests in general, and more likely to use force when they intervened. American law enforcement agencies made arrests or other interventions in 9% of the 10,863 Black Lives Matter and other leftwing protests between 1 April 2020 and 8 January, compared with only 4% of the 2,295 rightwing protests.

Half of the time police made any intervention into a leftwing protest, it involved using violent force, ACLED found, compared with only about a third of the time for rightwing protests.

Overall, 94% of the leftwing demonstrations in the past ten months were peaceful, compared with 96% of the rightwing demonstrations, according to ACLED’s most recently updated data. Kishi cautioned that the process of categorizing demonstrations as peaceful did not take into account whether demonstrators who engaged in violence or property damage were responding to aggressive or violent behavior from the police.

The US Crisis Monitor previously found that, despite Trump’s rhetoric and the intense media coverage of property damage or violence during protests this summer against police violence, more than 93% of Black Lives Matter protests since April had involved no harm to people or damage to property.

The majority of the protests ACLED categorized as leftwing were Black Lives Matter demonstrations, but also included pro-Biden demonstrations; protests by left-leaning groups such as Abolish Ice, the NAACP, or the Democratic Socialists of America; and protests associated with anti-fascists or left-leaning militia groups and street movements.

The rightwing protests included pro-Trump and pro-police demonstrations, including “Blue Lives Matter” rallies; rightwing protests against coronavirus public health restrictions; protests involving QAnon conspiracy theory supporters and others associated with the “Save Our Children” movement; and the “Stop the Steal” rallies promoting Trump’s false claims about his 2020 election loss.

Even the most dumbest criminal knows its not prudent to commit a robbery without first trying to disguise youself.

A retried fireman was identfied based on his toque and it had his name at the back...even threw a fire extinguisher.

That just says complete recklessness if you ask me.

This applies to any riot, the first people to get arrested and charged are the people who first caused it and the leaders of the group

Then comes people who can be identified from security footage and lastly anyone from the crowd they can find linked to the "mob".

You'd think some of the people involved whould consider that...I think that says alot about the people that were in the mob...reckless!!.

What do we know about the ACLED? They are the source for the much quoted "93% of BLM protests were non violent." What is their stated criteria for "violent" vs "peaceful" protest? Who operates the org? Who funds it? Who conducted the study? What is his/her political position? Was it peer reviewed? etc etc

Data point: the summer BLM riots in my city were both violent and non violent. As a general rule, daytime protests were generally non violent while evening protests descended into so degree of violent protest. The gov and mayor both issued stand down orders.
Most shops in the thick of it remain bordered up and many have signs reading, "We support BLM, please don't loot" like lamb's blood above the door. Almost all still show signs of violence - busted windows, fire damage.

Reason is a libertarian org. What's their agenda? http://reason.com/volokh/2021/01/11/gaslighting-last-summers-riots-and-the -law-enforcement-response/

"So let's start with some background. While the vast majority of demonstrations last summer were peaceful, the accompanying rioting across the country was incredibly destructive. There are different ways of measuring the property damage the riots caused, but they are up there with the damage from the 1992 Los Angeles rioting, and the totality of the urban riots of the 1960s.

Looters, rioters, and others connected with the unrest murdered approximately twelve people (approximately because the circumstances of a few deaths are unclear). These include David Dorn, a retired seventy-seven year-old police captain who looters shot and killed when they broke into a pawn shop; Secoriea Turner, an eight-year-old girl, who was killed during a shooting incident involving armed rioters in Atlanta; and Aaron Danielson, conservative counter-demonstrator, who a leftist rioter stalked and murdered. The overall death toll was about double the dozen, including individuals shot and killed by police and armed civilians in self-defense, people killed by right-wingers reveling in the chaos, people killed by automobiles whose drivers were trying to escape the rioting, and so forth. The related death toll is much higher, as murder rates have soared in cities throughout the country in the wake of the chaos.

So how did the authorities react to all this? There were some well-publicized incidents of excessive force used by police in a few instances, especially toward the beginning of the rioting. And there are some terrible anecdotes one can find on the internet, though one must keep in mind the statistical context that an estimated 15 to 30 million people took part in BLM protests last summer. In any event, the overall picture is far from the Biden and NPR picture of consistently harsh, violent crackdowns.

Let's take a few examples:

EDIT

I do agree that for a proper investigation of the study we need to go through the study with a fine-tooth comb, and yes, one of the most important parts of that is their operationalisation of variables and definitions of terms. But I find it interesting that other than myself, I haven't seen anyone on LL push for this level of analysis.

So while I support this level of scrutiny Shura, why now? Why not before on the many hundreds of studies and articles based on studies posted here? Why just this one?

And if you wish to really dig into this, I'm game. Do you want to locate the study and we can go for it?

I'm not left or right. I am interested in truth, or the closest we can get to it.

I forget names and who is on the newer side, apologies.

I felt it worth questioning this particular study now for two simple reasons: 1)Ive seen the 93% cited here several times over the past few days and 2) the last three people who cited it, when asked (not here) couldn't tell me the source of the number.

That Guardian article omitted saying that the same thinktank (ACLED) that claims the police treats BLM worse also published in late September a paper by the US Crisis Monitor, a joint project of ACLED and the Bridging Divides Initiative at Princeton University.

That study showed that in 2020, the U.S. experienced 637 riots between May 26 and Sept. 12, and 91% of those riots were linked to the Black Lives Matter movement.

That study I speak of from The US Crisis Monitor was completely ignored by the left, but mentioned in several right wing papers complete with live links to the original website of US Crisis Monitor that published it.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but the fact that the original study showing 91% of riots from May to September 2020 were linked to BLM is now unavailable, is a little strange, considering our current pearl clutching climate about the Capitol Hill riot.

The Capitol Police have over 2,000 sworn officers. A police force dedicated to protecting Capitol Hill has more personnel in its service than the police forces of most of the country.

Congress' private cops are the 19th largest police force in the country. It’s a larger force than the police forces of Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, or Milwaukee with a massive $460 million budget.

It’s the only legislative federal force in the country that is answerable exclusively to Congress.

While Democrats advocated defunding the police, their private police force budget shot up from $375 million in 2016 to $460 million in 2020. After the Capitol Hill riot, expect it to go higher.

Much higher.

The media claimed that the Capitol Police were overwhelmed by a massive riot. Except that the number of violent rioters was, at most, in the hundreds, while the Capitol Police could deploy a force the size that protects entire cities to protect a few buildings from hundreds of people......
