While police around the country are raiding campuses and brutalizing student protesters, the authorities are once again trotting out narratives about "outside agitators."
They do this whenever a movement gets out of their control. It is one of the most basic tactics in their playbook, and they employ it indiscriminately.
As we wrote in 2014, during the demonstrations in Ferguson in response to the murder of Michael Brown,
"Rhetoric about 'outside agitators' is a military operation intended to isolate and target an enemy: divide and conquer. The enemy that the authorities are aiming at is predominantly black and brown, but it is not just a specific social body; it is also an aspect of our humanity, a part of all of us. The ultimate goal of the police is not so much to brutalize and pacify specific individuals as it is to extract rebelliousness itself from the social fabric. They seek to externalize agitation, so anyone who stands up for herself will be seen as an outsider."

-In their introduction, Bela appears disguised as a waitress to steal a rabbit’s foot from Sam and Dean; she throws away her wig when she’s done, smiling and walking away. Silver lies to Gates and introduces himself as a very good cook, grinning, to convince the pirates that attacked his ship to accept him in their crew.
-Bela pays ten grand to Sam and Dean for saving her life, saying she doesn’t like being in anyone’s debt; Dean asks if that’s really easier for her than a simple thank you. Silver tells Muldoon that after all the shit they went through in the months after he lost his leg, the most terrifying part of it was the crew telling him they’d take care of him.
-Bela and Silver talk themselves out of threats. Bela challenges Gordon to kill her, telling him that if he does he’ll never find Sam and Dean, and Silver burned up the schedule so Flint would have to keep him alive if he wants to know what was in it.
-Sam and Dean discover that Bela stole the Colt from their motel room’s safe, now empty. Silver confesses to Flint that he stole the Urca gold from him.
-Bela lies to Dean about her past; she tells him that they were lovely people and she killed them for their money, that she doesn’t give a damn about that or about what could happen to Dean without the Colt. Silver tells Flint that he has no story to tell; that it might seem as if he’s trying to conceal something, but that there’s just no story.]
i was trying to connect dots but the dots were not connecting in the easiest way. they are connected in my head but the evidence is proving difficult to present.
in my personal opinion, daniel should die at the end of s3 but the thing is that goes with the version of s3 i made up in my head that is ofc the correct vision for s3 because i am correct and have a big brain (and ass)
