How the "Spontaneous" Children Against Guns Protests Weren't

I've been reading a lot about the underpinnings of the "organic anti-gun protests" in the wake of the Parkland shooting. Many of these kids that are involved are passionate, concerned, and sincerely want to help see that such an atrocity never happens again.

They have, however, been co-opted by Leftists who will exploit them. It is critical that we spread the information about how this process happens, for two reasons:

• Reduce the ease with which Leftists take over and start a movement out of a frustrated, grieving population. It's not just the immediate issue that has to be countered; it's the YEARS of working for Leftists, unknowingly, that will result if we left them get away with it. Too many of my peers in the 1960s and 1970s got lost - they were largely unable to form stable relationships and families due to the toxic influence of Leftists who were more eager to exploit their unpaid labor than to see them move on to a better life. They wasted years not building up their savings and investments, instead priding themselves on being "one of the people", moving from ill-paid job to ill-paid job. They are the seniors now, still working at marginal jobs, unable to look forward to some well-deserved rest. They are the bitter women, without children or grandchildren. Their only connections are in the Left - they HAVE to follow them to the bitter end.
• To CHOOSE one's causes is a good thing; such alliances will be thoughtful, in line with one's principles and religion, and congruent with one's aims in life. To be pushed into alliances that hide their ultimate goals is to be a pawn. It is unconscionable to USE one's position as a teacher to forward YOUR goals and use students to do it. Too many of the Activist Groups are licking their chops at the prospect of indoctrinating YOUR children into the Leftist Cult.

What is the proper role of Non-Leftists? To point out the Astroturfing.

But it’s not just a mainstream media problem. None of the righty outlets writing about Parkland picked up on the clear evidence that professional organizers were backing the Parkland kids, either. Instead, they objected to the front-and-centering of minor kids as unseemly, which does no good: Lefties aren’t going to listen, and it doesn’t educate the Right to counter.

The closest anyone got was Elizabeth Harrington at the Washington Free Beacon, who noted that Clooney’s publicist was booking the kids’ media interviews pro bono, and said that a friend (not Clooney) had asked him to do it. The result of all this is that the average righty does not understand what’s going on in activism, because all they see is what the press covers. The stuff that’s visible. It’s like expecting people in the Stone Age to grok the Roman army by looking at it. Conspiracy theorists happily fill this ignorance vacuum.

Please, read the manuals that detail just HOW these Lefty Organizations manufacture their "spontaneous" protests. If you just can't bring yourself to spend that much money for something that will benefit Leftists, at least check out the links below.

Or - and this might be fun - send in an undercover agent to be trained with those manuals - once they've gotten copies, rip off the Leftists with pdfs posted on the Dark Web.

Some advice from a right-wing radical on how to combat left-wing violence. He links to several books that will give you the knowledge you need to see these tactics in action.

A site for Bernie Bros and others - it's filled with practical tactics, training, and strategies that made the Aging Revolutionary/Befuddled Leftist gain such traction, given the flawed nature of the candidate. A truly impressive collection.

Another source of information about How They Manage That Protest Thing, and why Leftists seem to be supported by so many (Hint: It's an illusion, generated by a sophisticated understanding of how to manufacture allies).

And, just because he makes a hell of a lot of sense on basic human nature, this post from The House of Eratothenes.
