The London Riots of 2011

The London riots of 2011, having spread to four other English cities as well as other towns within days, provides one of the bigger examples of how the Hegelian Dialectic is used by the elite.

First, the field was made ripe for a riot thru various means:

• Hatred of police was fomented by a Police “Stop and Search” Policy highly biased toward young black men.
• Tripling of college tuition while reducing educational financial aid, kept the young adults out of school and on the street.
• Banks kept credit tight to keep the economy depressed to increase poverty, unemployment and welfare dependence.
• Social conditions and media encouraged breakdown of the family, further alienating the youth.
• The obnoxious gap between rich and poor was flaunted by publicizing the Parliamentary Expenses Scandal and extravagant banker’s bonuses.

Then, it was easy to create the PROBLEM. The fatal shooting by police of Mark Duggan, a young black man riding in a taxi, and the police beating of a 16-year-old girl who was asking police a question provided enough provocation for a riot that would spread to other cities.

The PROBLEM needed to last long enough to cause the desired reaction, and so police were ordered to “stand and observe” for a time to give things a chance to fester and get more seemingly out of control.

The REACTION was people glued to their TV’s, fearful of how far it might go and how it will affect them. People were blogging about it, even writing HubPages articles about it and consoling each other in the comment section. Then the focus turns to: “What are the causes of all this?” “What needs to be done to prevent it?” “Please do something; we’ll accept almost anything but this.”
