Silence the opposition

CAS mission vs. civilians

I see an article this morning that the California Air National Guard was planning a Close Air Support Mission against civilians protesting lockdowns and again for civilians protesting the results of the 2020 election.

The report, according to emails obtained by the Los Angeles Times, was that an F-15C from the 144th Wing was ordered onto a 2 hour alert status on several different occasions.

a lieutenant colonel sent a message to Guard members who maintain the F-15C, advising them that a jet must be “ready to take off within two hours,” beginning the Monday morning before the election.

The good news contained in the article was that enough officers expressed concern that the CO of the squadron had to send a memo saying that “there is no expectation that the F-15C will be used in any way in support of civil unrest.” He went on to instruct the recipients to keep him apprised of “any requests or upcoming requests” from California Guard headquarters in Sacramento.

This seems to indicate that at least SOME of the NG officers would refuse such an order. Now such an order isn’t DIRECTLY a hazard: AFAIK, the F-15C is an air superiority fighter and, other than strafing, isn’t really capable of a ground support role, but the presence of the fighter flying overhead would send a clear message to any protestors on the ground: you can’t fight us when we are willing to use fighter jets.

This was ordered by Democrats, who if you remember, were incensed when a medivac helicopter hovered over rioters in DC. These idiots don’t understand that, once you cross the line into using combat forces against noncombatants, you are opening the door to combat.

They are correct in saying that there are no ways for US civilians to fight against supersonic fighter jets. However, those jets have a long logistical tail. The pilots, the people who arm, repair, and service those aircraft, their families, and the people who supply the spare parts and ordinance for those jets all become fair game. They, and their support are easy to get while they are on the ground.

Guard the jets, then the fuel convoy is fair game. bring them inside the base, and their families become fair game. The essence of the National Guard is that they are from and part of the very citizens that you are planning to use them against.

The problem with Democrats is that they hate and have such a fear of weapons and the military that they have very little understanding of what they are doing. Some people aren’t scared by the mere sight of weapons.

Not only that, but what makes them think that a pilot who just got done watching them crucify a police officer for the death of a single black man would be willing to pickle off ordnance from a fast mover and not consider what would happen if it turned out that he killed even one wrong person?

Gulags are here

The people being held due to their arrests stemming from the January 6 incident are being beaten and tortured by guards while in custody, reports Politico.

One Capitol riot defendant, Ryan Samsel, was severely beaten by correctional officers, is now blind in one eye, has a skull fracture, and detached retina. One of the prisoners reports that a guard declared, “I hate all white people and your honky religion.”

One attorney remarked that his client was taken to an area of the jail that was out of sight of security cameras, then beaten by guards. “I have seen Ryan. He has two black eyes to this day, two weeks later. All the skin is ripped off both wrists, which shows the zip ties and how tight they were,” said the attorney.

We continue to edge ever closer to the concentration camp phase, it is unreal.

Still censoring

YouTube continues with their censorship of anyone who opposes the left. SCOTUS also just reversed a court decision that prevented Trump from blocking critics on his social media accounts, meaning that Biden and the rest of the commies are now free to block people all they want. We can’t have the counter-revolutionaries using the communists own tactics against them, can we?

So now that the stage is set, Homeland Security has announced that it will soon be scouring the Internet, looking for people who would speak out against the government. This blog, and others like it, will soon be an enemy of the state.

As I have been saying for months, the communist party left doesn’t really have ideas that work, so they must silence the opposition and use the force of government in order to make their (bad) ideas a reality. One of the first things that a Communist coup has to do, once it has a (tenuous, at first) grip on power, is it must silence the opposition. This cripples any would-be movement’s chances at organizing.

Then, they have ensure that they have a monopoly on force. That means removing the citizen’s ability to possess weapons, and means purging the military of counter-revolutionaries.

If you know me IRL, you know that I have a big mouth, and I am not scared to tell you what I think.

I am not making a dime on this website. In fact, it is costing me a good bit of money to keep it operational. Any bit of money helps me to offset that.

Police Purge Progressing

Alliteration aside, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department is reviewing (I read that as destroying) a female deputy’s career because her husband chose to exercise his First Amendment rights to assemble, to petition his government for redress of grievances, and his right to free speech.

Why? They are alleging that her husband was a member of the “Proud Boys” and he was charged with “obstruction of an official proceeding, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and engaging in disruptive and disorderly conduct.” All misdemeanors, and the charges may even be unconstitutional, unless the government wishes to try and make it a crime to interrupt a government official. This would mean that a person yelling at President Trump from the gallery would also be committing a crime. Ridiculous.

At any rate, now they are talking about using cancel culture to create a “blood crime” whereby people will not only be punished for their own behavior, but for the behavior of their relatives. This smells of the sort of thing that was common under the Bolsheviks.

CIA insurgency manual

Remember when I told you that the Dems were following the CIA insurgency manual, which lays out that, after the insurgency seizes the reins of government, the show trials of political opponents begin?

Well, here you go:

Matt Gaetz is under investigation for sex with minors.

Despite the Presidential pardon, Steve Bannon is being investigated for state crimes.

Trump himself is under criminal investigation in Georgia, as well as Manhattan and a second Federal one in the Southern District of New York.

They are coming. They are starting at the top, but the communist insurgents will eliminate the competition, including you.

Fire in a crowded theater

Just over a century ago, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote what is perhaps the most well-known, misquoted, and misused phrase in Supreme Court history: “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.”

Without fail, whenever any controversy about limiting people’s rights comes up, someone will misquote this phrase as proof of limits on the right to free speech, then use that as support for their claim that all rights have limits. Whatever that controversy may be, the law can then be interpreted to mean that we should limit the rights of the people. Holmes’ quote has become a crutch for every would be tyrant in America, yet the quote is often misunderstood.

Go read the case where the phrase originated before using it as your argument. I will wait. The case is U.S. v. Schenck, and it was so bad that was overturned more than 50 years ago.

The case had nothing to do with fires or theaters or false statements. Instead, the Court was deciding whether Charles Schenck, the Secretary of the Socialist Party of America, could be convicted under the Espionage Act for writing and distributing a pamphlet that expressed his opposition to the draft during World War I. The case didn’t call for violence. It did not even call for civil disobedience. It simply urged people to vote out any politician who supported it.

The crowded theater remark that everyone likes to trot out was an analogy Holmes made before issuing the court’s holding. He was explaining that the First Amendment is not absolute. The actual ruling, that the pamphlet posed a “clear and present danger” to a nation at war, landed Schenk in prison. That case, along with two others, was used to toss people in prison for daring to oppose or speak out against President Wilson’s policies.

The case was effectively overturned in 1969, with the Supreme Court’s decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio. In that case, the Court held that inflammatory speech, even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan, is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech “is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” Sound familiar? This is why they can’t do shit about what President Trump had to say on January 6, nor can they legally shut down the speech of the right. So instead, they are allowing large megacorporations to have monopolies on the digital town square, they coopting them into performing the censorship for them.
