Theatrical Arrest

Whether or not the Air Force intel weenie actually committed the crimes he is accused of, his arrest was pure theater, as is the press coverage of the arrest.

Seriously, half a platoon of heavily armed troops supported by at least two armored vehicles? Who are they arresting: an Air Force chairborne commando, or John Rambo? And is that a belt fed machine gun? You need full auto support weapons?

Then there is this quote, from the article:

Members of the “Thug Shaker Center” group said in interviews with the Times that the online community has been a place for teenage boys and young men to bond over their love of guns, play war-themed video games and swap memes, some of them racist.

OMG, he loved guns and was a racist!!eleventy!!1!

‘Not knowing his mental state, going up against a trained military person in a house with weapons was not an ideal scenario.’

Wait? Am I missing something here? He was in Intel, not a fucking commando.

Even Pravda and Izvestia during the heyday of the Soviets weren’t this heavy handed with their propaganda. Isn’t amazing that they found this guy in a matter of five days, but can’t verify Hunter’s laptop or find the person who planted the bombs on J6, even years later? They can’t find the person who leaked the recent SCOTUS decision on abortion?

This smells to high heaven. The FBI knows exactly what kind of training he has, and they know damned well that he wasn’t this much of a threat. What else are they lying about? I have to assume they are lying about all of it. This guy is a patsy.

Next, will the FBI be raiding the Biden homes to look for documents? Isn’t it ironic that Biden, whose family has likely been peddling US intelligence information for years, is the one ordering more security for classified documents? Next, there will be an EO that all classified material must be stored in Biden’s garage, where it will be safe from the Chinese.

Coincidences Keep Piling Up

The 14th mass shooting of the year was the school shooting in Nashville. Against overwhelming odds, one of those killed was a close friend of the Tennessee Governor and his wife. The shooting happened shortly after the Tennessee Governor signed laws that pissed off the left, including the banning of lewd drag shows in front of children. What happenstance!

Exactly 14 days later, the 15th mass shooting of the year was in Louisville. One of those killed was a close friend of the Kentucky Governor. Less than a month prior, the Governor signed state passed a law banning sex change medical procedures on children.

The odds of any mass shooting including a friend of a Republican governor [of a state] recently passing a law pissing off the left are long. Even longer that two mass shootings in a row accomplish the same thing. The killings are close enough to the Governors in question to make them personal. It’s almost like a message is being sent. Perhaps the next one will be a bit closer? If it is, we can then be sure that these shootings aren’t random.

The Law, Justice, and Insurgency

Aesop responds to my post on the destruction of the rule of law, and it brought to mind some interesting thoughts on the law, or more accurately the reasons why faith in the law is deliberately being undermined.

The law, and by extension law enforcement, exists to ensure that people get a fair trial and a punishment that is proportionate to the crime. In order for the law to work, the people that the law is supposed to represent have to believe that the law is fair and just.
Once law fails in that responsibility, or in the absence of law, the people will take the law into their own hands. What we have here is an entire segment of the population (blacks) who believe that the law is unfair and doesn’t protect them. Right or wrong, perception is reality. So they are taking the law into their own hands.
Once that becomes widespread, the targets of their version of justice can either capitulate or push back. In either case, the widespread disillusionment with the law is exactly what those who would bring down the nation want. As I have been pointing out for three years now, the left is following the CIA insurgency manual almost to the letter. What we are seeing here is the result of Fifth Generation Warfare.

The final stage of the overthrow of a government is easy to see in retrospect, but difficult to see while it is happening. Scholars have identified signals of this crisis state to include a decisive loss of legitimacy by the government, financial collapse, breakdown in authority, strong symbolic actions, and perception of dual sovereignty or provisional authority, among others. It begins modestly- assassinations, disappearances, unexplained deaths that aren’t fully investigated, and seemingly random attacks.

The goal of the insurgency is twofold: to convince the citizens that the government is powerless or unwilling to protect them, and that the insurgents ARE and WILL protect them. They need to create a failure of basic government services, like the rule of law. When enough people become restless and convinced that the rule of law has failed, that critical mass of people will look for a savior. That is when those who would overthrow the government step forward and offer to do what the people think that the government cannot.

This story has played out again and again. It isn’t my idea. Every single bit of this plan is right out of the CIA insurgency manual. You can find a PDF copy of it on the “training manuals” page, linked right at the top of this blog. Heck, the CIA weren’t the first to use it. Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” which in itself followed Lenin’s “Stages of a Revolution,” which was also a modification of Mao’s own theories on Communist revolutions. Hitler did it, too, although the Germans and their “Beer Hall Putsches” turned it into a national sport before Hitler was even a Corporal.

As I pointed out this morning, things are gonna suck. All we can do is ride it out. Just try to live long enough to read about it in a history book.

Rule of Law is Ending?

The Democrats in Congress are now angry enough at the courts that they are pushing the Biden administration to ignore Federal court rulings on abortion. The Secretary of HHS is saying that “everything is on the table,” including the Federal government ignoring the court rulings that it does not agree with.

This is two branches of government declaring that the third branch is no longer relevant. How will that play out? What else can be ignored? Judicial limits on gun laws? Election tampering? The Democrats have taken the first steps in dissolving the Federal courts. Why pack the Supreme Court, if you can simply ignore whatever it does?

At the risk of running afoul of Godwin’s law, this is exactly what occurred when the Enabling Act was passed, which authorized Hitler to do whatever he needed to do. The Reichstag up to that point had been the check and balance against German dictatorship.

So what comes next, if the Feds begin ignoring whatever court orders that displease the left? I feel like, at that point, all semblance of a Constitutional Republic will have been eliminated. This will no longer be a nation of laws. A nation of might makes right. The Constitution itself will no longer matter as the source of government power. The only power that will exist will be at the point of a gun.

Threat to Democracy?

The left is absolutely incensed that they have to follow the rules as two Tennessee lawmakers are expelled:

They claim that the three were facing expulsion because they were protesting. As usual, the left only tells half of the story. They weren’t merely protesting, they were refusing to allow the remainder of the legislature to carry out the business of the people, and were getting the protesters in the gallery to assist them. (This is where I would usually post video of what they did, but youtube has removed most of the videos from their site, and the one that I could find on their site won’t embed. I can’t find a single video of what they did to get expelled. Odd, huh?)

The next claim is that it is an attack on democracy. I don’t see how. The voters in Tennessee are represented by their democratically elected representatives. Those representatives, all 99 of them, were prevented from doing their jobs by an unruly mob, led by three of their members. The representatives all operate by an agreed upon set of rules. Violating those rules can cause the members to expel you by a 2/3 vote. The three refused to abide by the rules and held the entire body hostage, so the members took a vote, and two of them were expelled. Seems mighty democratic to me. Majority rules.

Expelling someone is a threat to democracy? You tried to expel the President. Twice. Was that a threat to democracy? When republican protesters attempted to hold a similar protest in Congress more than two years ago, you said that such protests were an insurrection. Hundreds of the protesters are still being held without trial.

Things continue to heat up on the road to CW2. It’s coming, unfortunately. I can feel it.

Kangaroo Court

From Gateway Pundit: Judge Juan Merchan Who Oversees Trump’s Case in NYC Court Made Political Contributions to “Stop The Republicans” and “Biden For President” The Judge’s lack of impartiality doesn’t stop there: his daughter’s LinkedIn account reveals his daughter is not just a Democrat but a Democrat who previously worked on Kamala Harris’ Presidential campaign. While she was working with the Kamala Harris campaign, Loren also served as the Vice President of Authentic Campaigns which per its site is a digital agency that raises  “hundreds of millions of dollars for progressive campaigns” through digital persuasion programs.

As I have been saying- Trump is going to go to jail, where he will be either killed or never heard from again.

Two Legal Systems

Two people posted memes to different target audiences during the 2016 campaign. The memes were nearly identical in every way: they encouraged people to vote by sending a text message containing their candidate’s name. This way, the meme alleged, you could avoid waiting in long election day lines. The only difference between the two was the voting block that they were targeting. One targeted Trump voters, the other targeted HRC voters.

Guess which one was arrested in 2021, has been convicted, and is now facing 10 years in Federal prison?

The Democrat tweet is still live on Twitter.

We have two different legal systems. One jails people indefinitely for trespassing, the other gives people a pass for blinding people with lasers while they burn down Federal courthouses. One jails people of one political faction for doing the exact same thing that they ignore from the other political faction.

The entire Federal legal system has been weaponized. The FBI is investigating people who oppose the Democrats, the IRS is auditing reporters who write damaging articles, social media has been completely subverted, and we are on the verge of being a police state.

As bad as that is, things are going to get worse. Much worse. Just wait until the disappearances begin.

There’s my answer

As you all know, I received a 12 hour ban from Twitter with no reason given. After the ban was over, I was given the reason. Here it is:

The story here is that some asshole wanted to know why the right was all pro-gun, unless trannies were involved. I responded with the above tweet, and attached a screenshot of the tranny advocating the killing of Christians that I also posted here.

Criticizing trannies got me a ban.

So I removed the tweet. It’s their playground and their website, so I follow their rules. However, I will still call them out for taking sides. They are not an immune service provider. The very act of censoring one side of a debate and not the other should make them liable for what they allow to be posted.
