Things are going along just fine in CHAZ

It's a Police free zone, so they built a wall and posted armed guards at the gates. They got some bad press on this so reports now say the guards are using concealed carry. Not sure what they call the guards, but it's definitely not Police.

Some white kids built a garden, but it was too racist, so now it is Blacks and Indigenous only. It could be they have built a second garden, for Blacks and Indigenous only, in that case I guess they like Segregation.

84596

They've updated their list requesting donations, clothes are requested for Males only, seems kind of sexist but it's their country.

84597

Like many struggling countries, they have no Fire Department so they called in Seattle Fire Dept when a dumpster fire erupted. If they decide to change their name, Dumpster Fire could be a winner.

84598

I've heard that Black Lives Matter has disowned CHAZ and does not recognize their diplomatic status. Somebody should let the CHAZarians know, because painting a huge BLACK LIVES MATTER in the street is so far their biggest accomplishment.

So how do they justify stepping on the rights of those people that own property, business, and live in that area?

There are reports that say businesses are being asked for protection money, others say no. Since no Police are allowed into the zone to investigate, it's a mystery.

If you are getting your disinformation from Fox "News" you might want to read this expose. The local Seattle paper has some reporting about what is actually happening.

Fox News runs digitally altered images in coverage of Seattle’s protests, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone | The Seattle Times (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/fox-news-runs-digitally-altered-images-in-coverage-of-seattles-protests-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone/)
At least if you're going to lie to your viewers and readers be a bit more discrete. Got to love the missing part of the left arm in this bit of fox manipulation. Sure, they just want you to be informed. Or at least don't photoshop the same guy into two different scenes.

And just to be sure you get the point about the quality of information you can get from a propaganda network with no regard for even trying to get anything fair or balanced... Enjoy this photo from Minnesota used to apparently convince you what might be going on in Seattle.

Or read THIS (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/welcome-to-the-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone-where-seattle-protesters-gather-without-police/) to see what is happening in CHAZ. Where police are still responding to 911 calls and it is overwhelmingly peaceful and hopeful.

None of the photos in my post are photo shopped, and none of them come from Fox. Nice try though at discrediting any info you don't like. For instance, the photo of the armed guard with green mask and AR 15 came from KUOW, an Public NPR funded radio station

KUOW - Dispatches from CHAZ, Seattle's new autonomous zone (https://www.kuow.org/stories/dispatches-from-seattle-s-new-autonomous-zone-known-as-chaz)

So you say Police are responding to 911 calls? You had better let the Police Chief know.

On Wednesday, the Seattle Police Department said it would try to reopen the East Precinct, and Chief Best was able to visit the location on Thursday. “Our calls for service have more than tripled,” she told reporters. “These are responses to emergency calls — rapes, robberies, and all sorts of violent acts that have been occurring in the area that we’re not able to get to.”

I'm confused. If CHAZ is "autonomous," why are they requesting all kinds of supplies from outside?
Also, if police chief says response time is doubled or tripled for such things as rape, is that not a bad thing (or will the enablers who cheer on this craziness going to overlook this also)?
Also, how long before CHAZ decides it needs to expand to have more businesses and homeowners to extort money from?
Also, how long before competing warlords in CHAZ start shooting at each other?
Also, when will CHAZ request UN observers and membership status in UN?
And most of all, is there any madness the Woke lemmings will not buy into?

Fox News published digitally altered and misleading photos on stories about Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in what photojournalism experts called a clear violation of ethical standards for news organizations.

A post on Facebook, by someone who was there...with their baby.


Bill Hankes - My wife and I have been getting a lot of... | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/hankes/posts/10158596265403792)


My wife and I have been getting a lot of questions from friends and relatives about what is happening here in Seattle given the shocking headlines and imagery of Seattle under siege. So I thought I’d take a moment to share what’s going on and what’s not, including some photos I took this morning. As you’ll soon read, it was a harrowing experience, but never fear, I’m now back in the safety of my bunker.

Last night someone posted an article about Seattle being taken by force. Naturally, I was alarmed by this. But the “news” site was one I’d never heard of before. There was literally no local coverage, and if you know anything about Seattle media that should tell you everything you need to know. The only “credible news” source I found was Fox, and they showed burnt out cars and utter mayhem. Fox further claimed that there were armed guards and businesses were being shaken down by some “war lord” and his antifa minions.

I also read reports that the protesters ran out of vegan food. This part might actually be true.

Here’s what has been happening:
- A couple nights ago, a very left-leaning member of our City Council unlocked the doors to City Hall to allow protesters in. They chanted for the Mayor’s removal, presumably over the City’s poor response to early Floyd protests (but that’s another story). A couple hours later, these protesters left City Hall and there was no damage, except maybe to Mayor Durkin’s nerves. But you’ll see images of people “occupying” City Hall.
- While there have been protests near City Hall, the bulk have been in Seattle’s quirky Capitol Hill neighborhood, in particular around the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct. Like other places around the country, these protests have been ongoing so at some point the City decided to board up the East Precinct and cordon off three blocks of Pine Street and the adjacent side streets. Time will tell about whether this was a smart decision or not. I don’t know why they made this decision, but I suspect it had something to do w/ that car a few days ago that rammed protesters nearby and where the driver pulled a gun and shot a peaceful demonstrator.
- So now with this area cordoned off with City barricades, the neighborhood has taken on a bit of a new life. There’s an open microphone. Someone put up and outdoor move screen, and there have been reports of free food and water. Last night there was a poetry reading, and the airing of the documentary “13th.” There was no violence, but there has been no shortage of spray paint apparently. Most of it deployed poorly.
- Also, there are a couple of signs proclaiming the area to be the Free Cap Hill Zone or the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone. I have odds on the latter name because the acronym CHAZ has a nice ring to it. Though some may think it sounds too fratty and that’ll be that. We’ll stay tuned on this branding decision and alert you to any updates.
- This morning, my wife had a doctor’s appointment in the area so while she was in there, I drove over to witness the carnage first-hand. To call it underwhelming is an understatement. I saw a guy walking his dog through the barricades into the “zone.” I steeled myself and crossed the chasm. But when I did, there wasn’t anyone around except some guy in a lawn chair who wished me a good morning. I did, however, see a couple eating bagels and drinking coffee outside a boarded up café. I was tempted to join them, but now the adrenalin from my newfound status as wartime correspondent was flowing. Soon I was directly in front of the East Precinct which was boarded up and “redecorated” with spray paint. As I stood on the corner and looked around, the scene was really more of a ghost town than anything. I passed a guy carrying his baby. I saw one of those open-air tents we used to sit in during soccer games to avoid the weather. Under it were free supplies. There might have been flyers too.
- Around the corner was a moving memorial to George Floyd, which stood in sharp contrast to the side show all around me.

Here’s what’s NOT happening:
- There are no armed guards. I saw a picture of one on Fox, but as we’ve seen during these protests, people show up pretending to be one thing but there’re actually something else. Think about it: Seattle is not exactly your 2nd Amendment crowd. People don’t open carry here. And I can tell you that these documentary and poetry guys sure as hell are not packing heat. Packing weed maybe, but certainly nothing that shoots bullets.
- There is no rioting or burning of cars. A couple weeks ago some (white) woman from Tacoma burned four police cruisers. She was arrested and charged this week.
- I’ve read reports of “occupiers” shaking down businesses. I have no way of dis-crediting these claims. But again, this is your poetry and documentary crowd, not the Sopranos.
- The area is not “occupied.” Or if it is, they appear to value a good night’s sleep because they sure weren’t there at 10:00 in the morning when I was.
- There is no “warlord” as Fox as vilified. In true Anarchist form, no one is in charge.
- The police have not been run out. The police chief was on camera in front of the East Precinct yesterday afternoon having a peaceful conversation w/ protesters. Apparently she walked up there again this morning right after I was there. Also, there was footage of the police going back into the East Precinct for an “inspection.” I don’t know when they plan to move back in, but they certainly aren’t being shy about coming and going.
- The City is not under siege. Immediately adjacent to the zone is a Whole Foods, aka, Whole Paycheck. It was doing a brisk business. So was Starbucks. In fact, this was the closest thing to normalcy I’ve seen in Seattle since March 1st when most people began self-isolation.

So, I hope we survive another night under our new overlords. If you have any Vegan food, though, we're running short.

Scariest thing I have seen so far is the rag tag bunch of completely anonymous military equipped "soldiers" with no identification, badges, affiliations, etc. used by our government to "clear" areas. Their pants don't even match, nobody even knows who they are, or where they come from and they are called part of the "SS" by our president. Innocent but bad choice of words? I don't think so. No one is that stupid. I cannot imagine where this is going to lead. Someone is working very hard to provide a civil war. Just one weirdo of them sprays the crowd with a M-16 in just one city and runs a block away, strips his top shirt off and hides and it is on. I over hear idiot guys right now that want to do just that. Most of the other stuff has been happening somewhat on and off my entire life. Now larger and amplified with immediate and ongoing communication with the internet, cable news, etc. Hopefully we can improve the situation finally with all of this same intense information flow and education.

As a newly formed autonomous nation, the US should request a list of all the new citizens of Chaz, and revoke their American citizenship. Any and all benefits associated with that citizenship would be denied. The “citizens” of this new country then better hope that those gardens They are tilling produce some vegies, since their government assistant direct deposits checks will stop.

This is additional confirmation that the worst part of all of this unrest is the mass media.....CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. They are all trying to sell air time....so they over play actuality. This has been going on for 50 years. When they reform and just 'report' the news instead of giving their opinion of the news, we will all be better off. Wasn't it amazing how COVID-19 disappeared from being the majority of the news and George Floyd dominated the news. The news said 'but he was a black man killed by the police'. Yes and he is being prosecuted, but have they had news articles about the other (excessive) killings in Chicago or elsewhere? We need News Media Reform.

Since the occupiers of "Chaz" have declared themselves autonomous from the USA, our Federal Govt. should protect our border from illegal immigrants from Chaz trying to enter the U.S.unless they can obtain a visitors visa verifying that they are of good character and law abiding. No visas will be issued to those illegally usurping, damaging or defacing private or public property. Let's let them stew in their own soup.

I can’t believe that the National Guard hasn’t stormed this idiotic nutcase stunt. Round them up and ship them off to a military base for some basic training then send them to Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, or any other area of conflict. They’ll come back appreciating what they have here in the good ole USA! Spoiled poorly educated fools. God help us and the USA if this is what the new generation is all about.

If you are getting your disinformation from Fox "News" you might want to read this expose. The local Seattle paper has some reporting about what is actually happening.

Fox News runs digitally altered images in coverage of Seattle’s protests, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone | The Seattle Times (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/fox-news-runs-digitally-altered-images-in-coverage-of-seattles-protests-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone/)
At least if you're going to lie to your viewers and readers be a bit more discrete. Got to love the missing part of the left arm in this bit of fox manipulation. Sure, they just want you to be informed. Or at least don't photoshop the same guy into two different scenes.

It is important to note that this was a well done montage of original photos from "Chaz" with the exception of a fire that was actually from Minneapolis. The real point is this is all idiocy based upon a false narrative that there is systemic racism in a country that spends billions each year to improve the lives of minorities.

I'm shocked someone would go to Facebook for their news. Well not really when it's the only info they can find to try to prove a point.

In Seattle it's okay to belong to gun group as long as you're a leftist, gay or transgender. Will you also call these people, Ammo-sexuals or Rambo wannabees? I forgot, labeling people is no longer your thing.

Meet the Gun Club Patrolling Seattle’s Leftist Utopia (https://www.yahoo.com/news/meet-gun-club-patrolling-seattle-084454256.html)

Members of the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club (PSJBGC)—a leftist community defense and firearms education organization that gained a spate of notoriety last year when a former member, Willem van Spronsen, set fire to an ICE parking lot—have been a constant presence. The club is often asked to provide security for protests and rallies around the Seattle area, and while their involvement in CHAZ is structured more loosely, the presence of armed civilians has raised a few eyebrows.

Leftist gun clubs have been on the rise, and organizations like the Socialist Rifle Association—of which, full disclosure, I am a member—Huey P. Newton Gun Club, Trigger Warning Queer & Trans Gun Club, and other chapters of the John Brown Gun Club have successfully introduced the issue of gun rights and firearms education into the broader leftist discourse. In Seattle, John Brown members have generally been showing up on an individual basis, rather than as part of a coordinated campaign. But as Nick—the group’s towering spokesperson, who like other members requested his full name be withheld given law enforcement’s fixation on left-wing activists—told The Daily Beast, the group was also tapped to provide a security escort for “some very prominent black voices who were doing speeches here at the Autonomous Zone” following the events of last Sunday evening.

How is Chaz any different than Occupy? Same song second verse.

Let’s see...they are revoltzing against violence and oppression by violently oppressing other people whose only offense was being in their way. Hypocrites.

What happened to the COVID curfews? Forced face masks? I hope there isn’t a senior care facility anywhere near those six blocks.

What is even more stupid than these idiots, is the city and state government that has allowed it to happen.

It’s no wonder why they chose Seattle instead of Indianapolis or Ames Iowa. The same as Occupy. Luney lefties know where they can get away with it and where they will be quickly shuffled off to jail.

And they've established a welfare system. They want all whites in Chaz to reach into their pocket and give a black person $10

Blacks must feel more than a little offended by that. Disgusting. It’s crazy how they keep doing the same things they are supposedly protesting against.

Why should the original residents, businesses and property owners of Chaz EVER pay the local, county, state or federal government’s taxes again since their life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, property rights, safety and security have been allowed to be taken away? The government’s primary function is ensuring safety.

This is additional confirmation that the worst part of all of this unrest is the mass media.....CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. They are all trying to sell air time....so they over play actuality. This has been going on for 50 years. When they reform and just 'report' the news instead of giving their opinion of the news, we will all be better off. Wasn't it amazing how COVID-19 disappeared from being the majority of the news and George Floyd dominated the news. The news said 'but he was a black man killed by the police'. Yes and he is being prosecuted, but have they had news articles about the other (excessive) killings in Chicago or elsewhere? We need News Media Reform.

Remember when all the news worth reporting & all of their commercials had to fit in an hour for global news and a half hour for local—no matter where you were watching? The all-news all-the-time format of cable tv and online sources has given them a bottomless plate of content to fill so they rely on out-shocking all others to win. Since they have no limit, I set my limit back to the way it used to be. Pure bliss.

I am from the beautiful pacific northwest. Seattle used to be the icon of a beautiful city. I had a chance to visit recently and my oh my how sad it has become. Another prime example in this country when the family unit is broken.

wow, i hear you. Connecticut was the same way, lovely state, good people & the ablilty to earn a living. those days are long gone. since it became a regular socialist's paradise; no jobs, rampant homelessness, empty food banks & the highest tax increase in history was imposed maybe 7 years ago. it crushed everything. the only way to continue to live there was to be on welfare assistance, or part of the wealthy elite establishment. middle class had no choice but to leave en masse. stats we heard were 200,000 in 1 year.

What I find hilarious is that the "AZ" in CHAZ is "autonomous zone", yet they are asking for donations of food, clothing, etc. Guess they never looked in a dictionary to see what autonomous meant...

They are socialists, but the supplies they've requested would be coming from an orderly capitalist society.

The garden they planted wouldn't replace the calories they expended to make it, lol.

They're complaining about things being stolen from their tents. I guess they do believe in private property after all.

Things are going along just fine in CHAZ

It's a Police free zone, so they built a wall and posted armed guards at the gates. They got some bad press on this so reports now say the guards are using concealed carry. Not sure what they call the guards, but it's definitely not Police.

84595

Some white kids built a garden, but it was too racist, so now it is Blacks and Indigenous only. It could be they have built a second garden, for Blacks and Indigenous only, in that case I guess they like Segregation.

84596

They've updated their list requesting donations, clothes are requested for Males only, seems kind of sexist but it's their country.

84597

Like many struggling countries, they have no Fire Department so they called in Seattle Fire Dept when a dumpster fire erupted. If they decide to change their name, Dumpster Fire could be a winner.

84598

I've heard that Black Lives Matter has disowned CHAZ and does not recognize their diplomatic status. Somebody should let the CHAZarians know, because painting a huge BLACK LIVES MATTER in the street is so far their biggest accomplishment.

Please don't leave, we are stronger together

You don't exactly know what happened to your belongings (only that they vanished) so to say it was theft is not entirely fair.

It could be that a disadvantaged resident was in greater need of the items than you, and that's what we are about as a community. I know it is hard to hear, but treat it as an unplanned donation.
