"Color revolution" sparked in Indianapolis,IN?

[Skyfarmr]

Seeing the pictures of the protesters in Indianapolis on the news this morning reminded me of this section of the March 14, 2015 Cass transmission. Noticed that the American flag was altered by replacing the red and white stripes with the colors of the rainbow.

The Gay Rights Rally gathered outside the Lucus Oil Stadium where the NCAA Final Four is held. For those who may not be interested in college basketball, this is the final weekend of what is aptly named "March Madness".

the caption reads: Opponents of Indiana Senate Bill 101, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, march towards Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, April 4, 2015 to push for a state law that specifically bars discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

The "original law sparked a huge backlash from civil rights groups, businesses and at least two states in the Union because it apparently sanctioned denial of services and other discrimination policies against gays....

Pundits said the measures taken by Indiana and Arkansas were part of a broader effort in socially conservative states to push back the gains made by gays following a series of U.S. court decisions allowing same-sex marriage. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to take up the issue this month.

Supporters of the new laws in Indiana and Arkansas contend that the religious freedom acts do not actually sanction discrimination against any group of people but are only meant to protect religious freedom.

But according to the Human Rights Campaign, the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender civil rights organization in the U.S., the revised religious freedom law "falls short of providing needed non-discrimination protections to all Arkansans."

It said the revised law "can still be used as a weapon to discriminate against LGBT people, people of color, minority faiths, women and other Arkansans at risk."

Haven't noticed an SOTT article covering the background of this legislation, but the timing of it is quite suspect. Indiana's legislatures would know they'd be hosting this national college basketball event, as they do every March; the Final Four weekend commands the nation's attention like the SuperBowl of pro football does. Why would they push through such a controversial piece of legislation when so much attention is on them already for the tournament? From my observations, controversial legislation is usually sneaked through when most everyone's attention is directed away from what they're doing.

Could this be the "right spark"? The idea for this legislation certainly originated from the religious right.

Following is a snippet of the transmission I was reminded of:

(Perceval) Is it likely that this kind of social chaos as a result of the economic collapse or whatever would be predominantly in the USA?

A: Yes.

Q: (L) The US is a powder keg. It just needs the right spark.

(Perceval) It's got all the right ingredients right now. You've got so many people in big cities dependent on supermarkets and stuff. And then you have the police state well-trained to deal with uprisings. In other countries, they don't have quite so well-organized police state to put down social unrest.

(Andromeda) And the people aren't quite as helpless either, at least in areas like this one.

(Perceval) In urban centers in the US, there are a lot of people who are just completely dependent on supermarkets and the system in general from one day to the next.

A: Notice that the USA is exhibiting all the symptoms of a "Color Revolution".

Q: (Perceval) So, someone in a position of power somewhere in the US is planning to sort of stage-manage the social unrest or revolution after an economic collapse?

A: More or less. However all may not go as planned.

Just a few headlines following on the heels of this legislation include:

Indiana in Crisis Mode After Tourism Hit by Religios Freedom Bill
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/04/indianapolis-in-crisis-mode-after-tourism-hit-by-religious-freedom-bill/


With all the back peddling the Indiana governor has had to do in the wake of the back lash to this legislation, it appears that
"all may not go as planned" for those who trying to religiously justify their discriminatory actions. Definitely is causing more people to sit up and pay attention to what the pathocrats are doing in the ivory towers.

Still wonder if this is intentional "pot stirring" and/or "stage manage another distraction from the economic undercurrents, though. :/
ie. How could they have not realized from the start that this wouldn't create an out crying of protests?

On a lighter note, however, maybe the "all may not go as planned" may refer to this development following the passing of this bill:

The First Church of Cannabis was approved after Indiana’s religious freedom law was passed

The First Church of Cannabis Inc. has been approved by Indiana’s secretary of state after the state’s religious freedom legislation was signed into law last week.

The church’s founder Bill Levin said he filed paperwork in direct response to Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was signed into law by Gov. Mike Pence last Thursday. Secretary of State Connie Lawson approved the church as a religious corporation with the stated intent “to start a church based on love and understanding with compassion for all.”

Praise Jah! and pass the koochie from the left hand side...

The one bright spot I can see with this Freedom of Religion bill is, that one can refuse vaccinations or medical mafia protocol, based on religious beliefs.

Indiana is also the only (?) state that has given home owners the right to shoot and kill police officers who enter their home illegally and without just cause. Cops there will think twice about doing no knock raids in Indiana!

Thank you Palinarus for the previous links regarding this topic. Guess I need to refine the search terms I'm using.

Just watched John Stewart's take on this subject tonight on The Daily Show (he wasn't airing last week while all of this was in the news).
As usual, he hits the mark.
