David Codrea and violent extremism [Listen]
That title kinda makes me seem like IDAK…
Notes from the Resistance
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”:
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.
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…

Former Governor of Puerto Rico Arrested in Bribery Scheme [More]
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?

Ted Cruz Slams Boot on Table During Senate Hearing on FBI Oversight [More]
He should have planted it up lying sack Wray’s…
Who’s responsible for what goes out on his watch? And it’s not like this crap and worse hasn’t been documented and objected to for years (except, of course, by the DSM).
[Via Jess]
[More]
If you don’t agree with the official FBI narrative that racist white supremacists are the biggest threat our country faces, you are the problem that needs to be ostracized and eliminated.
That’s on Chris Wray and he’s on Donald Trump.
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.

FBI Agent Who Failed To Vet Steele Dossier Is Named As One Who Helped Paint Hunter Biden Exploits As ‘Disinformation’ [More]
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.
[Via bondmen]
Agents investigating President Joe Biden’s son “opened an assessment which was used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease”… [More]
So basically, “gun control” is about surrendering ours to people who systemically misdirect and lie to us in order to maintain and grow their political power, and it has nothing to do with safety or “common sense,” and anyone who is willfully deluded and believes otherwise is exactly the type of useful idiot they’re counting on?

Missouri sheriff says even under ‘threat of arrest’ he will not release gun owners’ info to FBI – ‘I will go down with the ship if need be,’ the sheriff says [More]
I’m sorry, but while everybody’s waving flags, my first thought is “What’s he doing with that information in the first place?”
[Via bondmen]
Today, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding that they cease their attempts to illegally obtain information from local sheriffs on Missourians who have concealed carry permits. Missouri law specifically prohibits the sharing of information on concealed carry permit holders to any entity – local, state, federal, or otherwise. [More]
What, the Trump pick who agreed with Richard Blumenthal on guns?

The #FBI Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the Bureau—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and other vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. [More]
It’s convenient and right at hand for them if they “need it,” too.
A warning about vampires and invitations comes to mind.
Tangentially related: My Android has recently started displaying a “suggestion” in settings for “On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked while it’s on you.”
They can detect where my body is! How convenient!

“… 21 of these 160 incidents just like this were disrupted and successfully stopped by unarmed individuals…” [Watch]
I got your “run, hide, fight” right here… Funny, how you have to watch to the very end to get this calculated little factoid.
By “just like this” she means the police were unable/unwilling to get to them in time and they were forbidden by law from having the means of effective defense, making it fair to wonder what the outcome might have been and how many lives might have been saved in the other 139 incidents had that not been the case…

FBI arrests Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate in connection to Jan. 6 Capitol riots [More]
Sounds more like election interference under color of authority than anything else…
[Via Sweet Babboo]
DHS Issues National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin [More]
Basically, if you agree with anything on this blog, you’re tarred and screwed.
FBI purging conservatives, critics of Jan 6 narrative, whistleblowers tell GOP lawmaker – Jim Jordan calls it the ‘weaponization of government’ against political enemies [More]
Ol’ Trump sure could pick ’em!
[Via Jess]
I have never heard of the FBI maintaining a “secure work environment” inside a private law firm, let alone a private law firm that is best known for representing the Democratic Party. [More]
Who thinks a full investigation to determine and report the truth is in the cards? Even if the Republicans “win” in November?
