So now it is Constitutional for the President to order people to undergo a medical treatment, but not Constitutional to stop people from rioting and destroying property, nor is it Constitutional for a governor to prohibit a medical treatment.
The collapse will accelerate.
Anyone who supported Trump must be utterly and completely destroyed.
Raise the drawbridge. Put the alligators back in the moat. Man the parapets! Our citizens are reportedly going to march nearby! We can’t have our constituents actually protesting!
Amazon provides web servers for 40 percent of all online content. Companies like the BBC, Fox, Netflix, Capitol One, Coca Cola, and Twitter all use Amazon for their web servers. This is important because Amazon announced last week that it has created a team that will begin looking at content that it hosts to determine if that content is “a threat.” Threats will include what Amazon refers to as “extremist groups” who post “dangerous content” including misinformation, inciting violence, or extremism. In other words, double ungood think. Once these groups are identified, they will be eliminated from the server.
This places Amazon in the unique position of being in control of the Internet. Anyone want to take bets on whether or not things like Donald Trump, opposition to the jab, or the Second Amendment foundation will be permitted?
Smaller blogs like mine just don’t have the traffic to justify the expense of a dedicated server. I have a solution. I have set up a virtual server that is outside of the USA, beyond Amazon’s control, and will not respond to cancel culture arm twisting. The expense is a bit high for a small blog, but my aim is to make it more affordable by splitting the cost.
Your entire blog can be moved for a small fee and placed on that server. The cost for the server is $25 a month. You can even choose to pay it through my Patreon. If anyone is interested, drop me an email at divemedic@sectorocho.com. Put “won’t be silenced” in the subject line.
Remember the guy who yelled at an MSNBC reporter? He was arrested by a US Marshals task force in Ohio. They congratulate themselves on arresting a “violent fugitive.” Calling him violent is a stretch. All he did was yell at the reporter. There is no evidence that he ever touched the reporter.
Even so, all of the charges against him are misdemeanors. He wasn’t even a fugitive unless they can prove that he was aware of the charges and was fleeing the state to avoid them. I can’t believe that these charges merited an entire Federal task force to catch him. From the US Marshals’ own webpage:
The purpose of regional fugitive task forces is to combine the efforts of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to locate and apprehend the most dangerous fugitives and assist in high profile investigations.
This is ridiculous. So the US Marshals are saying that this guy is one of the most dangerous fugitives in America? Of course not.
Anyone on the right who challenges the left is going to be placed in the gulag. Maybe the cops SHOULD be defunded.
Big Country has been saying for weeks that something big is coming. I think this is it. Problems at this event could be the reason for the big crackdown.
My advice to everyone is avoid this like your life depends on it.
This Marine corporal refused both the vaccine and wearing a mask, citing religious grounds, and got kicked out of the Corps. Now I know the article appears to be an attack on anti jab and anti mask people, but read between the lines.
They claim that she disobeyed two different orders, so kicking her out wouldn’t be an issue. Nonjuducial punishment for violations of Article 92 of the UCMJ and give her a General discharge under other than honorable conditions. The military does it all of the time for drug use and used to do it for homosexuals. The whole process takes about 6 weeks.
But that isn’t what happened here. Instead, she was given a nonpunitive general discharge under honorable conditions. The entire episode took a week. For those of you unfamiliar with the military, this is blindingly fast. Discharging means a complete physical, including ear, eye, and dental exams. Returning all issued gear and signing out of a command typically takes at least three days.
It is my belief that this happened so quickly because the powers that be are trying to empty the military of anyone to the right of Joseph Stalin. The COVID issue is a great litmus test for getting rid of those pesky rednecks who cling to quaint, outdated things like the Constitution.
They are prepping a military that will obey ANY order given. I wonder why?
The attorney who represented Kyle Rittenhouse and currently representing seventeen people charged in the Jan 6 investigation is missing with conflicting information on his whereabouts.
Has he been Epsteined?
The Democrats are using reconciliation to make 12 weeks of paid family leave a requirement under Federal law.
Will it be used next for gun control?
From Miguel, I learned today that the US military is threatening to expand the application of the UCMJ with regards to retired military saying disparaging things about the President. The Article to be used is Article 88. One thing that strikes me as odd is that Article 88 only applies to commissioned officers. I am sure that they will find another article to go after enlisted retirees.
Most obviously, the UCMJ applies to those who are currently serving on active duty in the armed forces, students enrolled in a federal service academy, and prisoners of war. After an amendment in the 2010s, the UCMJ also applies with equal force to contractors or other individuals “serving with or accompanying an armed force in the field.”
Now it is not unheard of for the UCMJ to be applied to those who are no longer in the military, but the use has been very narrow and specific before now.
The UCMJ does not apply to veterans who were discharged before reaching 20 years of service. The UCMJ also does not apply to retired reservists. However, it does apply to service members who retired from active-duty service, especially the Navy or Marines. This is because marines and sailors who leave active duty after more than 20 years in uniform but less than 30 and who want to collect retiree pay move into the Fleet Reserve, or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve. That’s right- retirees from the military are actually reservists.
Before 2021, I could not find any case of a retiree being prosecuted for a minor offence. Each incident I found involved serious offenses like kidnapping, sexual assault, or murder.
The problem here is that using the UCMJ changes everything. The application of UCMJ jurisdiction to retirees is significant because courts-martial are not Article III courts and are therefore not subject to some of the basic protections contained within the Bill of Rights. For instance, court-martialed defendants do not have the right to a jury trial; instead, an eight-person “member panel” selected by a high-ranking officer serves as the trier of fact.
That all changed after January 6. That was when the US military began using the UCMJ to go after military retirees for participating in the protest. This is a major expansion of military authority. This administration truly HAS declared war on the right. In unequivocal terms, they have said that no one can criticize this President without risking jail time.
