We are about to learn if DNC protesters’ riots lurch out of control and seal the fate of Democrats this year as they did in 1968. There is a possibility mainstream media may attempt to minimize their coverage of the Chicago protests/riots in conjunction with the DNC convention, unlike 1968, when media broadcasts of violent DNC riots shocked the nation and contributed to the party’s defeat that November. Illinois Governor Pritzker claims this time is different, and everything is under control.
The folks at behind-enemy-lines.org/ strongly disagree with the governor. Their main protest is scheduled for 7:00 PM Central/8:00 Eastern on Tuesday at the Israeli consulate. It promises to be must viewing.
Chicago alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez would also dispute the governor. Lopez, an ally of Mayor Brandon Johnson, has openly advocated lawbreaking. If you think there must be statements from the mayor of the nation’s murder capital calling for restraint in the days and weeks prior to the DNC convention, you have not been paying attention. His bland NPR interview hardly instills confidence. His interview with Martha Radditz doesn’t help. The police and governor are apparently keeping this doofus former Chicago Teachers Union organizer out of the loop. The 12,000 Chicago police are bolstered by Cook County Sheriff’s deputies and State Police. It remains to be seen if they are up to the task. Johnson’s sympathies lie with the protesters.
The high proportion of early protesters who wore masks suggests trouble. Police lining the inner portion of assigned parade routes are armed with bicycles — not billy clubs — which can easily be turned against them. The ones with billy clubs are arrayed to their outside. Sunday’s protesters were clearly harmless useful idiots. The Sunday evening protest was organized by Bodies Outside Of Unjust Laws, a feminist/LGBQT organization whose members would be stomped if they set foot in Gaza.
The police strategy of lining the parade route perimeter may be tested if protesters opt to misbehave and deviate from their assigned routes. Their objective is to reach the vicinity of the DNC convention. The objective of police in designating approved parade routes has been to keep protesters as far away from the convention as possible. The police strategy will obviously collapse if violent protesters escape their assigned bottle. Protesters are convinced Democrats have blood on their hands for the Gaza situation, justifying extreme measures in their minds.
YouTube live streams of street violence may be censored to inhibit knowledge of the riots, driving the curious on to Twitter. The home page of the march organizers will begin live streaming their formal speakers, beginning 12:00 PM Central, 1:00 Eastern on Monday, August 19. Their feed can be viewed directly on YouTube or Instagram.
The planned “mostly peaceful” march kicks off at 2:00 Central, 3:00 Eastern on Monday.
The protest organizers’ Linktree feed will be updated with live links to happenings.
But that will only showcase the tame stuff. Twitter will obviously be the source of some of the best coverage.
This page will be updated if various live sources become available.
A CNN affiliate from India has already begun streaming from inside the convention center.

This is the first DNC convention accompanied by live geofencing of participants’ cell phone IDs. Accessing existing databases of known terrorists, Tony Segura has revealed troubling details:
We are now at 61,001 foreign antifa and over 27,012 domestic antifa in the Chicago area! (Overlay = device was present at 3 or more antifa protests/riots.)
The average antifa ‘soldier’ comes from white, wealthy, globalist elite families based in Europe and the U.S., the top 1% of the 1%ers, most from straight up globalist families.
These would be the professional rioters funded by mommy and daddy and entities such as Iran, the CCP, Muslim Brotherhood, and globalist billionaires. These numbers are on top of the tens of thousands of tamer protesters committed to participating.
If this sort of low-grade terrorism is orchestrated from aboard, in conjunction with those domestic elements seeking to fundamentally alter America, why is it directed against the DNC but not the RNC? Is it because those running the DNC are wimps and susceptible to being cowed into adopting policies which would ultimately result in our nation’s demise? Suppose the two parties are considered as parents, one weak, the other strong. If a child is going to act out without repercussions, which will they attempt to manipulate? Regardless of any logic, Chicago violence can only hurt Democrats.
Cook County Illinois contains the largest population of Palestinians in the U.S., who have promised to not be quiet while the DNC is in town. The fact that many marchers on Sunday wore masks or keffiyehs to obscure their faces suggests planning for trouble. One charming group of Sunday protesters carried a “Killer Kamala” banner while chanting: “It’s not complicated; Gaza will be liberated.”
DNC SCHEDULE
Biden is the Monday night keynote speaker. It is unclear if his speech will be closed captioned to translate it into coherent English.
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are the Tuesday keynotes.
Walz speaks Wednesday. He will hopefully not have been coached to tone down the fake enthusiasm.
Kamala is the final speech on Thursday.
