      Reporting from Brooklyn, there was yet another night of extremely loud fireworks starting at 8 pm. and ending at about 2 a.m. This is the second week straight of this; every night during the same time period, like clockwork.

          Last night was the loudest I have ever heard fireworks in my entire life. It sounded like war.

          The media is reporting this as though it's just Black and Brown kids blowing off steam, but I don't believe that's the case.

          My neighbors and I believe that this is part of a coordinated attack on Black and Brown communities by government forces; an attack meant to disorient and destabilize the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

          1. Sleep deprivation as a means to create confusion and stoke tensions between Black and Brown peoples.

          2. Desensitization as a means to get us so used to the sounds of firecrackers and other fireworks that when they start using their real artillery on us we won't know the difference. It's meant to sound like a war zone because a war zone is what it's about to become.

          We think this is psychological warfare, the first wave before whatever the next stage of the attack is.

          We think this because there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD that young Black and Brown people would otherwise have access to these PROFESSIONAL fireworks. These are Macy's July 4th/New Year's-level displays and sonic booms reserved generally for the wealthiest people and institutions.

          And these kids are being supplied these things by the TRUCKLOAD. Hours and hours and days and days and weeks and weeks worth of explosives, y'all. No young Black and Brown people would be able to afford even a FRACTION of this supply.

          We think the government is providing these to neighborhood young people. These young people are unaware of how they're being used against their own communities and think they're simply being allowed to have the kind of fun that is generally considered illegal.

          After being cooped up during the pandemic, this is cathartic for them, but they clearly don't understand that they're pawns.

          The government told residents to call 311 or 911 when the fireworks happen, but when you call 311 or 911, no one shows up. And why would they, if they're the ones behind it?

          The New York Post exposed the Fire Department for taking part in it, but as you would imagine, the government is leaving it up to the Fire Department to investigate itself and eventually clear itself of any wrongdoing.

          The New York Times is reporting on it as a "culture clash" issue. But we think it's a passive-aggressive assault on the minds of the Black and Brown people who are rebelling against the status quo. This is gaslighting with literal lights.

          Please share this message. If you know anyone participating in these fireworks attacks, please educate them about how this is an attempt to undermine the struggle for liberation and try to persuade them to not allow themselves to be used by the enemies of the people.

          P.S. This could also be the police attempting to retaliate against our calls to defund/abolish the police by creating the circumstances for a continuous public nuisance and then purposely failing to respond to it.

          "But the holidays!" How many different ways do I have to say that this is NOT like previous holiday celebrations; that this is planned, coordinated, ongoing effort that began WAY before any such related holiday. This ain't just some July 4th shit. This is something else.

          "But this is PART of the protest. It's protesters doing this!" It's protesters trying to prevent their own people from sleeping? Trying to trigger their own people? Trying to bewilder and confuse and stress their own people? Stop gaslighting.

          This doesn't sound anything like your normal, typical, gearing up for the 4th of July or New Year's fireworks. Think of that and multiply it by 1000. And I'm not exaggerating. This was was like someone unleashed an entire military force on Brooklyn.

          In an attempt to save their jobs and maintain their unchecked power, cops are trying to make it seem like crime is going up without them and I wouldn't put it past them that they, themselves, are responsible for these shootings and the fireworks are a great cover/distraction.
