War on the Right

Morning Intel Briefing

The goal of any color revolution 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 the government cannot. The government is talking about increasing their security posture, and i recommended this morning that each of us do the same:

The threat landscape appears to look like this:

Political Orgs: The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the primary political arm, with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) close behind. PSL is part of the Neville Roy Singham network and serves as their vehicle for running political candidates.

Militant Anarchists: A growing militant wing trains in weapons and self-defense, including groups such as Antifa, the Socialist Rifle Association, Armed Queers, Behind Enemy Lines, Code Pink, the ANSWER Coalition, The People’s Forum, BT News, and Unity of Fields.

Climate Activism: Billions have flowed into climate-activist organizations, many of which increasingly employ anarchists.

Social & Racial Justice Groups: Since the rise of BLM, billions—public funds included—have supported the social and racial justice groups that regularly advocate for burning down the country.

Civil-Rights & Legal Orgs: Legacy anti-Western activists (“movement lawyers”) staff these groups, suing governments, police, and schools while training allies to push limits without triggering terrorism charges.

Foreign Interest Groups: Beyond the Neville Roy Singham network, other foreign powers, including the CCP, maintain domestic footholds.

Funding: Much of the money for this revolutionary activity comes from the progressive NGO ecosystem—Open Society Foundations, Tides, Ford, Rockefeller Brothers, Arabella Advisors, and the broader dark-money network.

“We cannot be led by those who wish for America to be like it once was; instead, we must assert that America must be no more,” Armed Queers wrote in a Substack post. 

Armed Queers is affiliated with La Mecha. I have blogged about those assholes before- in 2007, in fact. I noted then that they had local chapters on many college campuses.

Here is one of the first lines of the group’s manifesto:

Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlan must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan.

There won’t just be two sides in the upcoming CW. There will be all sorts of factions fighting it out. That’s why I am opposed to the war that is coming- it will be a bloodbath.

Warning Sign

Until the killing of Charlie Kirk, I had a post laid out for this spot. I am not going to talk about the assassination, the killer, or anything to do with the actual events from Utah yesterday. Instead, I want to remark on the cosmic shift that this killing has signaled.

I was at work when the news broke. One of the nurses there began grinning and said “I will just keep my thoughts to myself on this one.” Then laughed. Leftists are just evil.

I have been saying since 2020 that one of the signs that a revolution is nearing its completion is the disappearance of people who can make trouble for the revolution. It’s a sign that the revolution is beginning to eliminate those who can make trouble for them. As I have been saying:

You bet your ass that I am closely watching the lists of Republican donors and prominent political figures. If the disappearances begin, you will know that its time to disappear before you hear the knock at your own door.

I have a list of prominent conservative figures- political, journalism, and donors. When they begin disappearing, it means that we are in real trouble. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is one of them. He was one of the prominent figures on my list.

I will be closely monitoring the rest of that list. If this becomes a pattern, it may very well mean that this blog will have to be shut down.

Unless there are further developments, this will be the only post today…

Schadenboner

The left is going nuts, claiming that Trump’s use of the DC National Guard is a violation of the posse comitatus act, and I find it hilarious because the posse comitatus act restricts the use of the U.S. Army and Air Force in domestic law enforcement activities, unless specifically authorized by Congress.
That doesn’t include the National Guard, because the NG is not the Army, it is a militia. More importantly, the DC National Guard has been authorized to conduct law enforcement. The Department of Justice has long taken the position that it can operate in a “militia” status, not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act, thus allowing the president to potentially use it for law enforcement purposes without triggering the Act’s restrictions.

Meanwhile, the left has been trying to explain for years that the militia is the National Guard, and therefore the Second Amendment only applies to the Guard’s members.

The left appears to have forgotten that the NG was called out for law enforcement in DC once before during Trump’s time in office…

Free Speech?

A man attended protests around the Tampa area. He is alleged to have been using racial and anti-gay language at these protests. The leftists do what they always do- they post pictures of people on the opposing side in the hopes that someone will identify them. That’s what happened here: someone recognized and identified him. At no time is he alleged to have identified his employer during the protests, nor is he alleged to have ever worn uniform items while protesting. Still, he was fired from his job at the Largo Fire Department as a result of his behavior at the protests.

Stoffel’s actions were not consistent with the standards and trust the community expects and deserves. ~Largo Fire Department officials in a statement to the press

A private employer would be in a good position to fire Mr. Stoffel. However, his employer is the government.

The government cannot prohibit the free exercise of speech. Government employees who are not at work do not lose their Constitutional rights simply because the government signs their paychecks. Government employees can speak as private citizens on matters of public concern without fear of retaliation, but their speech can be restricted if it disrupts government operations or is part of their official job duties. Since Mr. Stoffel was protesting on his own time and did not at any time indicate that he was a government employee, he is free to speak his mind. This is a well established legal principle.

The governing constitutional standard, known as the Pickering test, is a flexible balancing inquiry pitting the interests of the government as an employer against the free speech interests of their employees.

  • speech spoken as an employee gets no constitutional protections. So the speech cannot be made as a part of an employee’s duties. Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006)
  • The speech must be one of concern to the general public. For example, speech complaining about your boss’ management style is not protected. Connick v. Myers (1983)
  • In Pickering v. Board of Education, a public school teacher was fired for publishing a “Letter to the Editor” that criticized the local school board’s allocation of school funds. The Court noted that teachers were “the members of a community most likely to have informed and definite opinions” about public school expenditures. This establishes that sometimes citizens who happen to be government employees can have an educated opinion.

Speaking as a citizen and speaking as an employee appear to be mutually exclusive: a speaker can speak either as one or the other. An employee speaks as a citizen whenever the speech is neither an employment grievance nor speech that a part of their professional duties. And while speech spoken as an employee is unprotected, when an employee speaks as a citizen, any reactive adverse employment action would be subjected to a constitutional scrutiny whenever that speech is about matters of public concern. Simple, right?

One other caveat: The speech can’t be detrimental to the mission of the employer. In City of San Diego v. Roe (2004), a police officer was fired for selling sexually explicit videos of himself stripping off a police uniform and masturbating. When the case eventually made it to SCOTUS, the court ruled that the officer had damaged the mission of his employer because he appeared in uniform in the video.

So let’s now take a look at Stoffel’s actions- he was engaged in various protests in the Tampa area. At no time did he announce that he was a firefighter, never appeared in any sort of clothing that identified that he was part of that fraternity, and the speech was not a part of his duties. Some speech, like a public employee’s social media posts considered racist, sexist, or homophobic, could be seen as matters of public concern.

In deciding if the speech is disruptive to the workplace, the court will consider the content of the speech, as well as its manner, time, and place. In this case, it was at a protest where people of both sides of the argument were present.

There was a similar case a few years ago in Lake county, where a teacher that had expressed his disagreement with the concept of gay marriage was terminated after a parent recognized him and started a public cancelling campaign. He sued, and they settled out of court, paying him an undisclosed sum. I posted about it here.

In my opinion, Mr. Stoffel has a good case. He should retain a lawyer and file a lawsuit.

There Goes the Jury Box

Florida passed a law making it illegal for illegal immigrants to enter the state. A Federal judge in Miami issued an order barring the state from enforcing the law, citing the supremacy clause, making the claim that only the Federal government can enforce immigration laws. When the Florida Attorney General told the court that law enforcement agencies weren’t subject to the order, the judge found him in contempt.

The courts are just as partisan and biased as the rest of the nation, and are becoming illegitimate as a result. The orders you get depend on the political stance of the judge in question, and not on the Constitution. I can prove it. Ask this same judge to put out an order telling the states that due to that same supremacy clause, no state can enforce any gun laws, because there are Federal gun laws. Likewise, drug laws, laws against murder, etc.

We all know what would happen.

I Have Questions

A man was shot and killed at the leftist rally in Salt Lake City yesterday, and you practically need a program to figure out what happened. Let me explain:

Arturo Gamboa was at the rally with an AR15 in a backpack. Someone spotted the end of the stock sticking out, and figured out what it was. The man, Sam Hernandez began yelling that the man had a gun in his backpack as he was trying to wrestle it away from him.

A video posted by Jan-Michael Paul on Reddit shows Hernandez saying loudly, “This is a rifle right here,” and then flagging down nearby police: “Hey! This guy, I just grabbed this from this guy. He’s right there!”

An armed man who was part of an Antifa security team fired a handgun three times at Gamboa, striking and killing Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, a 39-year-old man who was participating in the march, as well as hitting and wounding Gamboa. (Great security there)

Gamboa was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of murder — although investigators admit that he did not fire his weapon.

Comments and Questions

If any of my readers know more, please chime in. As far as I know, open and concealed carry are both legal in Utah. If that is the case, Gamboa didn’t break the law, unless they try to say that he was brandishing or something. It seems to me that he should be able to get him a decent lawyer and beat this, even though it will cost him some bucks.

An arresting officer alleged in a probable cause statement that Gamboa acted with “a depraved indifference to human life” and his conduct led to Ah Loo’s death. Salt Lake County prosecutors ultimately will decide what charges, if any, Gamboa will face. He is currently being held in jail without bail and had not been formally charged as of Sunday afternoon.

The press is screaming that Hernandez is a hero because he wrestled the gun away from Gamboa, but even the police say that Gamboa never fired a shot. The people whose guns needed to be wrestled away were the so-called peacekeepers. In fact, it appears as though Gamboa was also part of the self-described security team and this was a “friendly fire” incident.

The more important thing to note is that there are armed Antifa members embedded in the crowds at these protests. This situation is a powder keg just waiting for a spark. The left is preparing to kill as many people as it takes to make their revolution a success.

Things are going to get messy.

As I Have Been Saying for 5 Years

We are seeing an in progress Communist coup of this nation. It is being funded by our own tax dollars, controlled by the Democratic Party, coordinated through the US intelligence agencies, and following the CIA insurgency manual nearly to the letter. Now we see reports from Peter over at Bayou Renaissance Man that there are financial statements linking the Democrat party directly to the riots and rioters. I am working to confirm that report right now. The closest I can find with a quick search is this:

If confirmed, this is evidence that the Democrats are actively engaged in fomenting violent action in order to advance their political cause. This is a criminal act and should be prosecuted. Of course, any action taken against the Democrats will just bring more cries of how Trump is a Fascist dictator who is trying to take over the government. Not only that, but it is apparent that significant portions of the US government have been coopted into the plot. For those reasons, nothing will be done.

The press can’t be relied upon, as they report that the riots are just “people having fun, watching cars burn,” and are not a riot.

The risk of open warfare increases. It’s only a matter of time before someone decides to cry “Havoc,” and release the dogs of war. Be alert, more peaceful protests are being planned all over the nation on Saturday. It’s best to avoid them.

“But, but, but January 6th.” Is the only thing the left has. Eight months of leftists rioting in 2020, followed by a 4 hour riot by the right, and that’s what they focus on. Part of me says “Let’s just do it. I am sick of this posturing,” while another part of me knows just how bad it will be.

Leftist Violence

A couple of events this week show how the left communists are still engaged in violent warfare against everyone who doesn’t agree with them.

In the first case, we have a tranny who attacked students on campus at UT Dallas by swinging a bike lock on the end of a cable, striking a young woman in the head. That’s right- a crazed man committed an armed battery on a young lady, whose only crime was daring to speak out for women’s rights. The worst part? It isn’t the first violent attack carried out by this man.

This attack was a deadly force incident. Swinging objects like skateboards, bike locks, or clubs are going to get a lethal response from me.

The second case also occurred on a college campus- this time in UNC Asheville. A table of pro-life students were attacked by a leftist student who screamed “I fucking hate you!” While accusing them of being fascists.

The student was identified as Adrian Miguelez, a candidate for student council.

The leftists keep up with their campaign of violence. I won’t be a victim, and this is why I am armed.
