violence when people come forward demanding pay for the violent protests. Seems like a criminal conspiracy. Some of these rent a mobs get up to $5000 a month.

Considering the source, I don't know if it is - proof, but

I have seen funding recruitment on Twitter and in watching the live streaming I have seen funding requested for that also.

It is sort of a circular situation. When the poor need to protest to bring attention to the abuse, they need some what to subsist while doing so.

Economics is a VERY big part of this whole situation. Discrimination has caused a good deal of the economic inequality and economic discrimination, and if they are not supported in their efforts to bring attention to this abuse, it just continues.

I have no opposition to helping, even personally would help, if I had it, and could find a reputable funding source, in small amounts for day to day expenses.

I think the $5000 a month is a grand exaggeration that is being amplified by a right wing news source.

My nephew, who has just died of cancer, back when "Ferguson" happened, (he didn't know he had cancer then) put out a FB offer of $50 to anyone in the Canfield area who just needed help and to have them send him a Paypal address. I didn't get to ask him how that worked out, but I thought it a very nice gesture. (He had entitled it something like, "I'm having a bad day, maybe I can make someone else's day a little brighter." There were a lot of people helping the protestors in little ways.

Our own leaders, some blindly, some on purpose, are - helping to bring us down,

you know what. My hunch is that Jon Stewart is headed for the same fate.

One example of how corrupt our system is can be - observed in House of Cards

series. That’s not really the point here, but that point comes across nonetheless. That show is scary accurate - about so much. Soros money, corruption, cover-ups, politicians lining their own pockets regardless of the cost to the rest of society.

Conservatives are scared of the fictional TV show. - Repeat: It's Fiction!

It's not real. It's made up. Just like the majority of Fox News. LOL.

Conservative politicians and their ilk seem to have lost all grip on reality.

I don't think that's the point of the post. nm - Dianne

Someone is saying that House of Cards is "scary accurate about so much."

No, it's not accurate. It's complete and utter total fiction. While there is quite a lot of back room political wrangling and wheeling and dealing, all the murder and intrigue and crazy plot twisting type drama just isn't there. LOL. There is definitely the political posturing, but that's where the similarity stops. When the cameras are turned off, a lot of these guys are really good friends.

I do understand conservatives buying into the whole conspiracy type stories, as the right-wing propaganda machine has really gone into overdrive in the brainwashing and keeping them afraid department lately. It used to surprise me just how gullible the right wingers were to believe utter false propaganda designed to keep them feeling persecuted, agitated, and afraid, but not anymore.

Helps to publish the whole MAU letter, not just part. They're asking for release of DONATION $ - for time off work ~ Julia Sugarbaker

In fact, one of the Twitter selfies these articles as using as "proof" clearly shows one of askers holding her "cut the check" sign WHILE SITTING AT WORK? lol

And, of course, we already knew there'd be no distinction made between protesting and rioting in either the post or these articles;)

There's a reason no reputable publication is publishing this story yet (WT being closest). And there's a reason why the ones that are publishing it are curiously omitting the most important part of the letter.

And that is the part of the letter that clearly asks for the release of organization DONATION money.

All organized protests, from the Freedom Riders to the Civil Rights Marches on Washington to NOW are/were supported and maintained by donations or they couldn't have afforded to leave their jobs, even temporarily, to do so.

This letter is simply a reminder to these larger organizations to release the donation money, they're already poor enough in that area - period.

However, if it is discovered that people protested that otherwise wouldn't have without pay, I'm sure more respected publications will cover this story.

But that isn't what their letter actually says - here's what the FULL letter says:

At least some of the protesters who looted, rioted, burned buildings and overturned police cars in Ferguson, Missouri, last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests. However, when the Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), the successor group to the now-bankrupt St. Louis branch of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), stiffed the protesters, they launched a sit-in protest at the headquarters of MORE and created a Tw ...

Does anyone have experience with a nosy person, in my case my mom, asking what your paycheck was nearly everytime you get one. She also asks how much my husband's was. Then will say she doesn't think that was enough for what all he did the last 2 weeks, etc. I hate hurting feelings but this is just ridiculous. I mean I don't call and ask her if she has been paid and what she made and what my stepdad made. It's not my business the way I see it. But she has no problem jus ...

There is such a ruckus about the nurse at a senior home refusing to help an elderly person there who has collapsed, called 911 and not doing CPR as the woman at 911 pleading her to do so. Others are up in arms about this but the family of the elderly woman apparently not so. What others do not know is what were the elderly woman's wishes, did she and/or the family have something in effect that said no resuscitation, no heroic efforts or the like. Apparently this senior home in California ha ...

Autopsy by Baden states six shots, none in back. Head shots could be from the stance of surrender or MB charging officer. Still questions. Toxicology will lend a lot to credibility of charging and out of control actions.

I am hoping that there will be PEACEFUL protests if some don't agree with the grand jury's decision concerning the Michael Brown case. This evening protestors are not too far from my home and the constant whirring of helicopters makes it hard for me to concentrate on my work. It is definitely a fact that no man is an island and one man's actions can reverberate across the country and the world and affect people who had absolutely NOTHING to do with what happened that ...

With the Grand Jury about to issue a decision on whether or not to go forward with criminal charges against Officer Wilson, and in preparation of potential riots based on that decision, does anyone think it would be a good idea for President Obama and Attorney General Holder to be in Ferguson at the time of the decision and stand arm in arm with the governor of Missouri, the mayor of Ferguson, the police chief, the county supervisor and anyone else of power to show strength and unity with w ...

According to protesters who erupted in violence after a grand jury declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., this was the case of a white policeman shooting an unarmed black teenager with his hands in the air in a community plagued by racial tension. That's an account promoted by many in the mainstream media as well. But here are several facts about the case that are harder to find:1. Surveillance video showed that shortly before the ...

CNN quit covering the story pretty much after the State Department condemned them for finding and reporting the contents of Ambassador Steven's journal. Why? I, personally, just want to know what Obama was doing at the White House on the night of September 11. This does not have to be investigated because Obama can tell everyone what he was doing. Someone on another wesite posted these phone numbers and urged everyone to call on Monday and demand they cover the Beng ...

The Ferguson police department must be stopped. They are making the situation worse. Why haven't they investigated the Michael Brown shooting? Why haven't they released any information? Why haven't they interviewed the witnesses? Why did they leave the body in the street for so long? Why did the Mayor take over 2 days to address the family. It seems by their silence that they are condoning repeatedly shooting that man. Ther ...

Maybe an effort to distance himself from the "bad" cops. Maybe helps Ferguson in their civil rights law suit. And, IMO, (and only my opinion) they might just indict Darren Wilson after all. Frankly, if there is any culpability at all, it makes sense to save the city and hang Wilson out, guilty or not. Personally, I think he is guilty, but that really doesn't matter. http://preview.msn.com/en-us/video/news/ferguson-police-chief-apologizes/vi-BB5J85K ...

Some of them I have seen before on right wing websites. The concerning thing is these kinds of disgusting racist/homophobic beliefs and actions are not isolated to the police and courts in Ferguson, Mo. Some racist emails were uncovered in SF.

The internet and anonymity has flushed ...

The police officer who killed MB did not stop MB due to being a robbery suspect. He clearly, repeatedly, stated that this cop did not know there was a robbery, he only stopped him because he was walking down the street. Chief states his info is from St. Louis County Police Dept interview with police officer who did the shooting. Sort of pulls the wind from the sails of that "big mean, strong arm robber," and feeling threatened because he is such a criminal. Then the med ...
