Tyrants Haunted by Ghosts

The Department of Justice’s Statement of Interest informs the Court that the United States has serious concerns about the proliferation of untraceable firearms easily assembled from firearm parts kits and unfinished frames and receivers. [More]

Well, yeah. If we don’t know about them, how are we expected to confiscate them?

A Snitch in Time

The US government finally admitted in this letter that they were running Confidential Human Sources inside the Oath Keepers organization on January 6. The government also notified the attorneys that they are issuing a protective order for the operatives they ran inside the organization on January 6. The feds sandbagged the defense for nearly two years, and then sprang the existence of these Confidential Human Sources at the llth hour!

Shades of the Hutaree and Whitmer embeds… and how they were coerced would be a story worth hearing. And along these lines

As I replied to my “small cadre” colleagues about all the hoop-de-doo out to get Trump at all costs:

There’s plenty I don’t like about Trump too, but they’ve been trying to destroy him on false charges since Day One. Meanwhile, the Hillary-funded Russian collusion conspiracy abetted by embedded FBI apparatchiks was nothing if not an attempted insurrection/seditious conspiracy.

All I hear are inflammatory ALLEGATIONS by demonstrable partisans with ultimate admissions that they don’t have EVIDENCE.

Responding “Pence deserves to be hanged” in private as his first, off-the-cuff reaction to an aide is a far cry from publicly urging a mob to actually hang him. Now think of all the things Biden and prominent Dems say that could inspire unhinged Dems to commit violence against MAGA supporters.

All this “progressive” media noisemaking with no actual substance reminds me of an old commercial:

We’re the Only Ones Totalitarian Enough

…25 to 30 fully-armored FBI agents stormed their property early Friday morning, aiming their rifles as the children screamed in horror. [More]

I guess it’s not fair to judge them until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots.

Funny, how the ones who strive to keep their oaths are the ones portrayed as the domestic terror threat.

Hey, looks like a hit!

Who Will Prosecute the Prosecutors?

One finds a federal lawyer trying to use his position to avoid a drunk driving charge; another finds a government attorney getting drunk and physically belligerent at a meeting with foreign officials; the third, and most disturbing, finds an assistant U.S. attorney exposing his genitals “in a public place,” and sexually assaulting a “civilian” on a date. Who were these federal prosecutors? The summary reports don’t say. [More]

Based on expectations set by their “leadership,” that whole department sounds like a case study for sadists and moral defectives.

Embedded Assets?

Members of an Ohio-based Christian group called the Salt and Light Brigade were among the “suspicious actors” who breached the police lines on the east side of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and engaged in a “stunning conspiracy” to commit illegal acts that were falsely ascribed to the Oath Keepers, a defense attorney contends.

I wonder why they haven’t been arrested.

Pillow Talk

They asked him about Colorado and Dominion voting machines, then provided him a warrant to seize his phone. At first, he said, he didn’t want to turn it over because he runs all of his companies off that phone and he couldn’t operate without it. They didn’t raid him at his home. They tracked him down. He had been on a hunting trip in Iowa and was driving back. He stopped at a Hardee’s in Mankato, Minnesota. That’s when they appeared out of nowhere. They went to the trouble of hunting him down. [More]

That was to send an ominous message.

He’s lucky he was in a public place.  Imagine the free rein they’d have had if they’d pulled him over on a secluded stretch of road.

I repeat my question.

We’re the Only Ones Terrifying Enough

“I was terrified. I’ll be honest with you, when my daughter woke me up telling me there were three armed FBI officers at my door, I thought she was joking,” she told Carlson. “And I immediately tried to throw clothes on. I called my husband. I was crying. My knees were shaking. And even though I knew I had done nothing wrong, after seeing Joe Biden’s speech the night before I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is political.’ And I was frightened. I truly thought they can take me out of here in handcuffs.” [More]

At what point do state-sponsored terrifiers become state-sponsored terrorists?
