Notes from the Resistance
Lawsuit Uncovers the Inside Story of the FBI’s Plans to Take Security Deposit Boxes without Charging Owners with Crimes – Newly released court filing demonstrates how feds planned to take property collectively worth more than $100 million from US Private Vaults’ customers [More]
So who’s in jail over this?

Now that she’s got stiff competition from Kelly Tshibaka, she and her acolytes have created a new system just to get her reelected. [More]
Will Alaska gun owners let her get away with it?
And what deal did she secretly cut with Tim Scott?

Trumpworld is abuzz with speculation about which close aide or aides has “flipped” and provided additional sensitive information to the FBI about what former President Trump was keeping at Mar-a-Lago, sources tell Axios. [More]
That was my very first thought.
Demonizing gun owners who believe in the founders’ intent of the Second Amendment is nothing new for our government. I’ve been following such attempts for years. [More]
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
Leftists freak out over one word concerning FBI at Trump’s home … It’s a “search,” not a “raid.” [More]
Hence the JBT with the machinegun.
Note how all the major players forego “home” in favor of “compound”:
‘I ended the discussion’: Richmond Police Chief Smith says he will no longer talk about alleged mass shooting plot [More]
An honest overseeing government would give him the choice to either spill or take the Fifth. An honest media would demand it. As would a citizenry “guard[ing] with jealous attention the public liberty.”
What does that tell us about Richmond?
[Via Mack H]
They are looking for an excuse to indict him…..and keep him under indictment. While indicted he won’t be able to run for office. If they can get him behind bars that’s just a bonus. It’s a virtual certainty they will have “found” i.e planted evidence during this bullshit raid. The American Gestapo nee FBI will do whatever their masters in the American Communist Party tell them to do. [More]
Yeah, that was my fourth thought after I called it a day. Stealing 2020 wasn’t enough– after seeing his CPAC straw poll results and knowing people will be paying attention next time, stealing 2024 calls for pulling out all the stops. If this fails, some may be deranged enough to want that assassination Bernard Kerik is publicly speculating on, and all I can say to that is if they thought Archduke Ferdinand was a catalyst for something bigger…
What I can’t tell at this point is if this is a long-planned step or if it’s a last-ditch desperation “Hail Mary” by the Dems who know their numbers are up for November. Trust in government is at a low and a significant portion of the country believes the last election was stolen– not just a handful of lunatics in buffalo hats egged on by assorted provocateurs. That also explains why the Dems are so adamant about this J6 business– if legitimacy in their rule is exposed for all to see as fraudulent, they’ve seen what happens when truckers in Canada and farmers in the Netherlands are roused. They know that F-15s and nukes aside, they’re hopelessly outnumbered on the ground– which is why they want our guns.
I find it significant that, at this writing, there is nothing in the Google News feed about Mitch McConnell weighing in on this. I sense a combination of feckless Republicans not knowing how real hardball is played and some of the old guard rooting for the Swamp because they believe they’ll have a place in it.
UPDATES
We’ll probably want to check in on Donald Trump’s Truth Social page from time to time for statements. This seems like a point to hammer on:
The FBI And DOJ Criminalizing Opposition To The Regime Is How The Republic Ends [More]
So is that a bug or a feature?
[Via Michael G]
Every American should be frightened and mad as hell by such unprecedented police state thuggery tactics and there must be a complete dismantling and elimination of the FBI. This is too much for our republic to withstand,” concluded Congressman Gosar. [More]
“FBI delenda est.”
[Via Henry Bowman]
This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. Don’t take the bait. [More]
He’s right about deliberate provocation, but this piece feels incomplete. “Be smart” has to include more than “do nothing.”
[Via Michael G]
Remember when Trump said it would be best for armed government agents to raid you and take your property first and then “go through due process second?” [More]
Helluva thing, being hoist with your own petard.
Former Capitol Cop Edward Travis Page provided proof that he’s legit
— shared texts that he says are from Brian Sicknick, blaming “Antifa” on January 6th.
— says that January 6th committee witnesses LIMITED in what they’re allowed to say (i.e. can’t give both sides) [More]
So we’re being lied to by seditious conspirators…?

Gun Shop Owner Wants ATF Auditor Investigated for Using Her Personal Phone to Photograph Documents [More]
As I’ve surmised before, we’re going to need two things to happen: First, the Republicans are going to have to not blow the “red wave” and reclaim House Oversight and Senate Judiciary, and second, unlike with “Gunwalker,” they’re going to have to strap ’em on and get serious about investigating and prosecuting all the way to the top.

The documentary exposed that only “like 30%” of weapons given to Ukraine reached their final destination. [More]
At least the ones provided to citizen volunteers are accounted for…

Last week, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Carter to nine months in federal prison for the theft of public funds. [More]
So … “illegal” gun … impersonating being a fed … but he’s not a “prohibited person” after all the other charges were dropped?
Guess that wouldn’t look good on Schneider’s guncreds.
I wish I thought a FOIA would do any good here…

And here’s the comedy gold:
“The Department of Justice is committed to holding accountable those who wrongly believe there is one rule of law for the powerful and another for the powerless. No one is above the rule of law.”
Is it really so wrong to wonder if she made the administration’s enemies list?

A now-former school resource officer in South Carolina has been charged by state police after authorities say they found 15 explicit images of a 17-year-old student on his cell phone. [More]

New House security program to provide members $10K to safeguard their homes [More]
It would be interesting to compare the ones who voted for this with the ones who vote against undermining your security.
I wonder if the ones ginning up the mob against SCOTUS “conservatives” are going to toss any plunder their way…

The Minneapolis Police Department’s “buyback” program allows organizations, sports teams or neighborhoods to buy extra overtime police patrols. But the program has been criticized as inequitable and further stretching the department’s resources at a time when some less wealthy neighborhoods say police are totally unresponsive. [More]
So will the 911 dispatcher tell callers their plan doesn’t cover that because the extra bodies are servicing rich white Democrats?
Or just let them be surprised…?

Twenty-eight female prisoners at an Indiana jail claim in two federal lawsuits that they were subjected to a “night of terror” after they were attacked and sexually assaulted by male inmates who had allegedly bought a key to the women’s wing from one of the jailers for $1,000. [More]
Just in case there are any questions about what to expect when the government is in total control…

House Judiciary Committee: Whistleblowers Say FBI ‘Pressuring Agents’ to Reclassify Cases as Domestic Terrorism – “For example, one whistleblower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE [domestic violent extremist] cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification.” [More]
In other words, not meeting the quota is career-limiting? And do top guys get “Always Think Terrorist” Leathermans?
All on Christipher Wray’s watch. Seems some of us were just telling Don Jr. to say “Thanks!” to his Dad for that.
And some of us were sounding alarms before that.

Images in the paper that were supposed to show the relationship between memory issues and the presence of Aβ*56 appeared to have been altered. [More]
Fraud, eh? And damn the consequences? So does this mean we should be suspicious of every finding that supports a political agenda where some people stand to make out big?
Covid?
“Climate change”?
“Gun safety research”…?

We know nothing will happen with the Democrats in charge and doesn’t that just tell us everything we really need to know, except for what the Republicans will do about it if they take over.

“I told her we prefer ‘gun enthusiast,’” Nagel said. “She said she prefers ‘gun nuts,’ and she works for the ATF?”
Scott found nothing in the shop’s books other than a few minor clerical errors. There were no missing firearms or other significant problems.
“She said she was going to put us in for revocation, and that it may change as it goes up the chain, but that was her recommendation,” Nagel said. [More]
She sounds like a hook-baiter.
Tyranny enforcers haven’t learned a thing since King George “sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people.” I wonder if Republicans don’t blow it in November if House Oversight will subpoena her.
