Giving the Chinese, Iranian and Russian state police a run for their money… Apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation, ie. the U.S. version of “State Police” enforcement units, have found a cause they are really committed to: finding every person who attended the Capitol Hill protests on January 6, 2021. [SEE HERE]
In a scene straight out of Orwell’s 1984 warning, the FBI is literally calling their effort the hunt for “America’s Most Wanted.” To achieve their goal, the FBI has been asking for help from their ideological comrades in the state run media apparatus, and achieving a great deal of success. [SEE HERE]
[Tweet Link] In a new twist to find actionable legal violations for which the activist DOJ can bring charges, the FBI is now seeking help to identify: “individuals who targeted members of the media for assault, threats, destruction of property, and other unlawful conduct.” Yes, the Biden DOJ is using “Assault on Media” as a criminal charge.
It is not accidental this same FBI turned a blind eye to terrorist warnings around attacks in San Bernardino, Boston Marathon, Parkland High School, Garland Texas, Fort Hood, Pulse Nightclub, Mandalay Bay Vegas, etc. etc… the list is long. However, some random folks petitioning congress to air grievances is considered domestic terrorism worthy of thousands of FBI agents and innumerable man hours just to hunt down dissenters. [Look at the Arrest List]
- 50 FBI Agents assigned to the Trump Russia collusion investigation…
- 13 FBI Agents assigned to investigate a NASCAR garage door pull-down rope…
- And now…
- Who can even fathom how many FBI agents are assigned to this task…
Suddenly the wall, barbed wire and thousands of military troops surrounding the Capitol and DC takes on a new level of ideological understanding.
We are in a full police state.
Cant wait for the NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES thanks to the deep corruption in our government that is now heavily influenced by communism.
SO, the FBI can look for “dissidents”, but voter fraud? — just a conspiracy theory put out by——
“dissidents”.
The OATH they took?— The Oath taken by military? Oath taken by Doctors ??
means NOTHING.
The FBI are nothing more than demorat mercenaries who abuse their power and authority to advance demorat policies? They don’t even hide their agenda anymore.
This just came to me. The FBI will bury itself by committing to this. Know they not, that now they contend with God?
The FBI has resembled the German SS ever since 0baMao politically weaponized them!
Don’t forget the Oaths taken by Congress and the Supreme Court Justices.
Oathbreakers all.
If the cowards from the FBI ever showed up at my door, I would put all my energy for a few seconds in executing the biggest door slamming ever. I would use all I have to slam that door as hard as I could.
I don’t mind having to pay for repair or a new door.
I despise those cowards as much as Obama despise America. Yeah… that much
The FBI would claim that your door slamming was a racial hate crime. You slammed the door because Special Agent Whatshisname is black…or disabled…or a transformer. You will be charged with a hate crime and do twenty years in Leavenworth…
Yet “they” can burn and loot and destroy, steal and ruin businesses, and it’s all okay because they need to blow off steam.
Antifa and BLM are the Left’s shock troops. They were allowed to run wild all summer leading up to the January 6th march on Washington, which evil had already planned on it happening as it happened. By Nan and Mitch and Chuck. McCarthy is also one of them, but he is so inconsequential, I ignore him.
Catherine Austin Fitts called it months ago: the BLM and Antifa riots were actually operations run by the deep state. If the DOJ wanted to find out who was buying the pallets of bricks or paying the protesters they could have rounded up the conspirators in a matter of days.
I have felt that way since 11/3/2020….
Be careful, Earth is the only known planet, so far, that has been shown to have chocolate.
…and bourdon, beer and Bordeaux; B^3
I’d add bacon.
With every passing moment, the things I care to eat decline in number. Today I just saw a story of a leaked set of slides in Coca Cola’s racist training teaching people to hate white people. That’s an exceedingly wide ranges of products and services which I will no longer consume.
I reiterate…
Same here. It’s a big world, we’ll find our own products to use and promote.
Boycott all racist Commies
Buy-cott all Conservatives
Scapegoating whites is a Marxist plot to destroy America. Class war wasn’t working in America because we never had nobility and everyone wants to be rich so they switched to a race war. It’s in the Commie literature.
Never support this evil.
@Falana
Actually, the Communists are conducting a class war disguised as a race war.
I have a case or two of Coke down in the basement. I have half a mind to go get it and pour it down the toilet. I’ve heard that Coca-Cola makes a really great toilet bowl cleaner, so maybe I’ll hang on to it for that purpose.
No joke, my husband used it this weekend on a corroded battery terminal that was frozen and it disintegrated the corrosion!
can’t say that even chocolate is enough to share a planet with these (fill in the blank).
I have been expressing this exact sentiment to a couple close friends who are on the same page as us Treepers for quite some time. Guess a lot of us feeling like this. In my version I express the desire to move to another planet -essentially same sentiment though.
The Former United States of America ended November 3, 2020. There is nothing of value left to restore or rehabilitate in Madison’s representative republic.
Confronting the unelected power of the kleptocracy requires the application of a coherent, systematic ideology that places all 3 components of the ruling class in a revolutionary context of confrontation.

We now live in a banana republic–adjust accordingly.
It’s been that way for a LONG time. It’s just that now, being totally in control, they don’t care if they’re blatant about it. Plus, Trump totally exposed them.
Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens [Princeton University, 2014]
https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf
Excerpts:
A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. We report on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes.
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system [that describes the influence of the Deep State/Swamp – W], even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
To be sure, this does not mean that ordinary citizens always lose out; they fairly often get the policies they favor, but only because those policies happen also to be preferred by the economically-elite citizens who wield the actual influence.
How do we remove the Federal Reserve Banks? They are the economic elite. Princeton is economically elite too. How does Princeton ‘feel’ about sending taxpayer monies to Pakistan for transgenders?
I feel the same way. We have 3 “20 something” children all on our side of the political spectrum. The problem is we tell them things like “they are coming for you guns”, or “they have eyes on your 401K”, and they think we are conspiracy nuts, they simply don’t want to believe that the world they are going to take charge of is so screwed up. That’s fine, but the net result is that they simply WON’T FIGHT BACK.
And THAT’S why the country will be lost, the youth of today will NOT fight to keep it.
Lots of work to do. There is still time for them to wake up.
But not much. Wake up pronto, kiddies.
Eric, Your comment and Winston’s above are perfectly juxtaposed.
I don’t think young people today WON’T fight back, they don’t know HOW to fight back. I see the same sentiment from many readers here at CTH. They don’t KNOW WHAT to do.
We have been taught all our lives to respect authority, and when you don’t like something VOTE. Well, lets put that 20 something in those shoes……as they look at the past election they say to themselves….what good did it do? They cheated the vote and no one did anything about it. What about the courts? what about…..fill in the blank……
Now we have also be taught to express your views to your Rep, or City Council, or whatever. Let’s put Winston’s point into context…..”When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. “
Again, put that 20 something into that context (or any law-abiding citizen). What do you do? Everything you have been taught is ineffective. We….and I mean law-abiding conservatives, need to change our paradigm. To what? I don’t know. But I think that is why so many here often espouse….we need Donald Trump to lead us to….again, fill in the blank.
Heck, I’m 60 years old and I don’t know, why would the 20 something? Sometimes I think (and agree with Whiteboard) it is time to break out the “other” box. But do I want to live in a nation full of Al Capones and Genghis Khan’s?? I am very thankful for Winston’s post. That turned on a light bulb for me…..now, I got some thinkin’ to do. How do we remove control from the “elites” and put it with the people (like us) as it should be?
Teach them to reduce their taxable income, to pay off all the debt, to grow food, to become self-sufficient, to delay gratification at all costs. Show them how. Share with them. We/they need to brush up on our skillset that has nothing to do with coding. They are far removed from our grandparents and great grandparents who endured extreme economic hardships, fought in World Wars, etc. They don’t even know what it means to have the government fail them or harm them. We need to show them what to do when things fall apart. If we set on this path… of learning how to fix, say, the electrical or plumbing, how to keep warm in a snow storm, how to hunt, how to skin a rabbit, how to raise meat chickens, how to build a shelter, the list goes on and on, it would not only be extremely educational, but fascinating and fun! Turn off the televisions and phones, pick up books at the library, then go do things.
My grandpa taught himself physics as a teenager on the family farm. He hated the farm! Later went on to be a mucky-muck at one of the biggest aerospace companies in the country. It can be done.
There’s some Irish in me and I’ve been thinking a lot about “Irish Democracy” and “Going Galt”. Some of my family hails from the mountains of Tennessee. Remember the farmers and ranchers from the Appalachian mountain region showed the British their metal. Our American history is rich with revolutionaries! They don’t teach this in the schools any more. It’s definitely time for the other box, and we need to teach the young with all that is within us.
I have come to CTH for years now to get some sanity. I hardly ever comment. I leave that to the smarter ones who are awesome, not to mention Sundance.
I have NEVER EVER felt so depressed and now have anxiety like never before. Sure some can say well go out and make a stand! I am 60 my husband has ailments. The four kids are illusive and self contained, though two get it. But they are not aware of the seriousness.
I hate to say this but I think WE WILL be forced into a war both a stand off and in some places with all the blood and gore. The country I adopted (or visa versa) so many years ago is gone.
The rational moral America we want back will not be resuscitated unless there is a real war for her soul. I am sadden beyond tears.
Immortal words from Ayn Rand: ‘”The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent [2011]
The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians [and federal – W], and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.
Licensed to Lie [2018]
This true legal thriller debunks everything the media and the government told us about the Department of Justice’s destruction and prosecution of the venerable accounting firm Arthur Andersen, Merrill Lynch executives who did one business transaction with Enron, Alaska Senator Ted Steven’s, and more. The common thread through it all is a cabal of narcissistic federal prosecutors who broke all the rules and rose to great power. Still in the news today―Robert Mueller s “pitbull” Andrew Weissmann and other members of Obama’s inner circle―are wreaking havoc on our Republic. This is the book that began exposing “the Deep State.”
Yet the Left is never held responsible for the “crimes” they commit–only the coservative.
Don’t tell me what I saw with my own eyes, Capitol Police welcoming peaceful people into a side door of the Capitol. No security whatsoever. They know exactly who planned this and how, and who was fully responsible for security and wasn’t. Is Pelosi’s name on the list?
Now, it’s an attack on the media? That’s rich! What about the 24/7 assault from them for years, of fabricated, sensationalized stories?
We all know what fake is today. We all know what “false flag” means. What we need is an attorney on some sort of basis where they accept donations to represent a great many of these cases. The evidence is easy to obtain showing all manner of things which we know to be true. There’s probably a lot of money in it for them if they dare to take these cases.
I am suspicious of Swetnick and the other two police that committed suicide right after January 6th. Did they know something about the role the capital police played in the fake insurrection? Why did they commit “suicide “ within a few days after the 6th? Maybe they threatened to become whistleblowers against Pelosi and Mayor Bowser?
Yeah. Nothing to see here right? If I were to speculate (which I am) I’d say they weren’t in on it and were calling things into question.
Nobody commits suicide unless they are dying from horrendous terminal cancer or mentally ill. These cops didn’t commit suicide anymore than Epstein and Vince Forster!
And the police officer assigned to investigate Harrison Deal’s murder in GA? Two days on the job, a young man, and he kills himself? Sure.
There is video of the Left handing out money from an envelope to the Leftists who stormed the Kavanaugh hearings with elected officials in the room. Handed out money to the Leftists! The Left has been baiting us for some time by continually showing ‘no problem at all’ to ‘demonstrate’, their side even loots, burns, murders, etc., yet no punishment!
The set-up has been planned for a long, long time this way. Antifa sucker-punched us good, didn’t they. I also wonder if it wasn’t all a set-up to take out President Trump, had he followed through on appearing at the Capitol? Someone was to be murdered that day, so poor Ashli was chosen to die, in order to bring in the National Guard and razor wire while Pelosi et al pretends there was an ‘insurrection’.
Tick….tock
The FBI are the modern equivalent of the colonial era Hessian mercenaries. They even number about the same.
.
I can’t wait until Christmas morning…
You certainly went a long way to say they are corrupt as a law enforcement agency.
We can handle 3 sentences. Even the twit-tards can.
“Politicians are crooks ‘except for, maybe, a few of them’.”; “Our elected officials don’t give a damn about their constituents… they only care about themselves having more power and getting rich.”; “The Justice Department is corrupt so we can’t expect Justice.”;“Judges are compromised so they will rule in favor of their puppet-masters.”; “Voting machines are rigged so the outcome of elections will be in favor of those in control.”; “Unregistered people, underage persons, illegal aliens, dead people vote.”, etc., etc., etc… Yada, yada, yada.
SOLUTION?: (1.) Talk a lot and make sure only honest people run for office? Good luck with that.; (2.) Talk a lot and make sure that only honorable and caring people who don’t lust for power and riches are elected to office? Good luck with that.; (3.) Make sure that you write to and phone, and talk a lot to each and every one of those politicians and elected officials who are crooks and don’t give a damn about their constituents? Yeah, good luck with that! And, if these three things don’t work, you can always sue ’em to get rid of mail-in voting, voting machines, and illegal voters… take it all the way to the Supreme Court if the corrupt lower court judges kick it aside. Good luck with that”
I am an 82-year-old Conservative, staunch patriot, U.S. Marine who reads CTH and a few other conservative sites every day. I seldom comment, choosing to maintain as low a profile as possible in this age of constant surveillance but I do read as many reader comments as I can. Although I agree with much/most of what is talked about it seems to me that we’ve gone way beyond the point where “talk” is going to save us. There’s an old joke about the fish warden who having gone undercover in order to catch a poacher who was illegally dynamiting fish from a lake. They were in a boat, in the middle of the lake, when the poacher lit the fuse on a stick of dynamite preparing to toss it into the water when the warden identified himself and proceeded with a lengthy recital of the law word for word prior to making the arrest. The poacher tossed the stick of dynamite, which now had a dangerously short fuse, to the warden, saying “Well, warden, are you gonna talk, or fish?”
Fellow patriots, the dynamite has long since been thrown to us and I believe the time has come to FISH!
There is one more option. A Convention of the States.
Yeah, “good luck with that.”
If Soros wants it, don’t let it happen. They will use Dominion, aka Communist Chinese, to count the votes.
Yes, USMC That’s what the other side wants us to do – keep talking. But never actually do anything.of importance.We’ll still be talking as they load us onto the box cars.
Way past time.
You’re one of Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children?
There are a bunch of us here; you may have noticed.
As a Marine, you already know hope is not a battle plan.
So why must we choose between talk or fish?
C’mon Marine, you already know – we do both. Plus anything else we may think of.
Semper Fi Marine.
‘rah
What on God’s green earth is an assault on the media? Could there be such a thing as an assault on the truth? Oops, we are going to deplatform you! Mach Schnell!
They trashed their equipment. There is a video out there. I would not guess that it was done on purpose.
Not all of the equipment. John Sullivan was paid $75,000.00 for his video. Some video they want some videos are ‘lost’.
Remember when Antifa and BLM assaulted the media all last year? Andy Ngo does.
Bank of America was even playing the Good Snitch and reporting to the FBI all the hotel, gas and food transactions that took place among their customers on or around Jan 6. I’ve never had the feeling before but this time around it’s definitely Us vs Them.
So if they arrest enough and get enough to lie in regard to President Trump they can still stop his run for the president. Personally I think he should remain in the shadows like many ‘puppet masters’ and help those who need to get elected done so. Simply endorsing might not be enough. Hands tied by congress is not enough. Freedom of movement and choice will make a lot better battle.
Any thoughts on starting a separtate thread for the 1/6 hearing? Looks like a S Show with nobody that can shed light on anything.

SD should have a thread up before too long.
I fear that other than starving the companies who support the fascist beasts (anything made in China, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Cable news media along with alphabet channels; only shopping and dining at local, smaller venues) and starting from the ground up by installing conservatives in city/county/state governments, we will have to wait until the democrats start eating their own and their voters realize that first they came for the conservatives and now they are coming for everyone.
I really identified with the article here just the other day explaining to us that we are now merely ‘dissidents’ in our own country. We have in power over us, in all categories, the Left. That hit me powerfully when I read that article.
Show me the law “assault on media”. If wanted to “assault” them they would know it
“Assault on Media” should be a qualifier for an award and not a reason for the FIB to terrorize citizens.
The FBI did little to nothing to investigate the Treason committed by Hillary. Next to nothing about the illegal FISA warrants. Virtually Nothing against the BLM riots that plagued american cities. Along with the DOJ falsely prosecuted Gen Flynn. Didn’t investigate a single incidence of the rampant Voter Fraud committed during the 2020 election. And now want to punish American citizens for “Breaking & Entering”. I demand the FBI investigate the murder of Ashlii Babbit!!!
Good luck with THAT. That agency is full of Leftists whose only aim is to persecute conservatives. While they ‘investigate’ Gov. Covid Cuomo, I expect them to give him a clean bill of ‘health’, because I don’t see the Left really going after him for what he did regarding assisted living residents. The FBI we thought we once had is o v e r. KGB now? Yes.
I guess it won’t be long until the Gov’t having their annual May Day parade in DC.
Looking forward to that! LOL
Yet more of the FBLie, assisting socialism by controlling the news narrative.
From 2016-19 they fabricated their Russia narrative. To what end, to avoid any mention of, or any investigation of, What? The actual threat posed to America by Chinese spies who have infiltrated the entire House Intelligence Committee. Up next the Ukrainian-Trump hoax, again to what end? To avoid any discussion of, any investigation of,what? The actual threat posed by the Ukraine’s and the Chi-Coms complete compromise. Not only of Hunter Biden, but of the entire Biden/Heinz-Kerry/Pelosi family, Money Laundering scams.
Now, the Bureau searches Parler posts high and low, in their quest for the great white hype. The angry white man, who plots revolution and dares to speak about treason against any level of government,Town to DC.
To what end? To convince America that Antifa and BLM are not the greater threat to America. That active/retired U.S. military, active/retired Law Enforcement and Trumpsters. Any one in America who understands that our 2020 election was indeed compromised. At the very least to a level where, serious questions and serious investigations and serious preventive measures must be conducted. In order to ensure every one that a valid election process, the very core of our democratic republic, is in fact working…
The further the FBLie pushes socialism at the threat of incarceration…
The higher their wall around DC, will grow..
Yes we are. But many of the local police are on our side if we can just stop whining and get organized.
HOW ABOUT INVESTIGATING RUBY FREEMAN, SHAYE MOSS AND THE OTHERS CAUGHT BALLOT STUFFING MY VOTE AWAY?
THE FRAUD B LIE IS A DISGRACE.
It was run for 37 disgraceful years by a depraved crossdresser J Edgar Loser who did nothing but instigate social unrest, stir up trouble between leaders, and blackmail politicians AND it seems that’s all they do now too.
THAT’S ALL THEY ARE, VOTE STEALERS CAUSING SOCIAL UNREST
WHY ARE YOU HELPING ANTIFA, BALLOT STUFFERS AND ATTACKING ACTUAL PEACEFUL PROTESTORS WHO WANT TO VOTE AND SUPPORT THE LEGAL PRESIDENT, F B LIE?
It’s worse than I thought. J Edgar Crossdresser was instrumental in THE CURRENT INCARNATION of the FB Lie AND ran that dump 48 years, almost half a century until the 1970’s
No wonder an organization with THAT level of rot at its foundation is a corrupt den of Communo-totalitarian-thieves and iniquity to this day.
I am so ashamed all our institutions have given way to corruption, or in this case remained so from a rotten foundation and core.
The FBI has become the American Gestapo.
Notice these crooks in the FB Lie, CIA and other Deep State apparatus help anyone attacking local law enforcement.
They are purposefully aiding and abetting turmoil and destabilization of the US.
They are aiding and abetting vote stealers who are supposed to be in prison 10 years for every single vote they stole.
Criminal operation. They are mob enforcers committing crimes against the people and humanity.
Here’s why the FBI claim that Troy Anthony Smocks violated 18 USC 875(c), ” knowingly and willfully transmitted in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to injure the person of another” falls flat on it’s face. Affidavit here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/page/file/1355896/download
The affiant alleges the following two Parler posts by Smocks are violations of 18 USC 875(c):
“Today, January 6th, 2021, We Patriots by the millions have arrived in Washington, DC, carrying banners of support for the greatest President the World has ever known. But if we must… Many of us will return on January 19th, 2021, carrying our weapons in support of Our nation’s resolve, to which the world will never forget. We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match. However, the police are NOT our enemy, unless they choose to be! All who will not stand with the American Patriots…or cannot stand with us, then, that would be a good time for you to take a few vacation days. -The American Patriot”. (Emphasis added.)
“So over the next 24 hours, I would say lets get our personal affairs in order. Prepare our weapons, and then go get’em. Lets hunt these cowards down like the Traitors that each of them are. This includes RINOS,1 Dems, and Tech Execs. We now have the green light. [All] who resist US are enemies of Our Constitution, and must be treated as such. Today, the cowards ran as We took the Capital. They have it back now, only because We left. It wasn’t the building that We wanted. . . it was them!” (Emphasis added.)
Neither post rises to the level of “credible threat” defined by SCOTUS in the appeal “Robert Watts v. United States”. At a 1966 peace rally at the Washington Monument, 18 year old black college student Watts said “They always holler at us to get an education. And now I have already received my draft classification as 1A and I have got to report for my physical this Monday coming. I am not going. If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J. They are not going to make me kill my black brothers.”
An Army Counter Intelligence Core informant in the group of students reported Watts’ statement. Watts was arrested and convicted of threatening the life of the president, a violation of a 1917 law. An appeals court upheld. Then SCOTUS narrowly overturned on appeal, per curiam majority 5-4.
SCOTUS said Watt’s speech wasn’t a “credible threat” because it was predicated on future events that may or may not happen. Justice William O. Douglas concurred in an opinion that would have gone further than the per curiam majority opinion and invalidated the federal statute. SCOTUS further said Watts’ statement was First Amendment protected “political hyperbole“.
Nevertheless, a statute such as this one, which makes criminal a form of pure speech, must be interpreted with the commands of the First Amendment clearly in mind. What is a threat must be distinguished from what is constitutionally protected speech………..
……But whatever the ‘willfullness’ requirement implies, the statute initially requires the Government to prove a true ‘threat.’ We do not believe that the kind of political hyperbole indulged in by petitioner fits within that statutory term. For we must interpret the language Congress chose ‘against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.’
SCOTUS today isn’t SCOTUS of 1966. Mr. Smocks better have a very, very good federal attorney. References:

He belonged to the preferred race. Don’t overlook that fact. Amazing that it went all the way to the Supreme Court, actually.
“individuals who targeted members of the media for assault, threats, destruction of property, and other unlawful conduct.”
As sure as Biden has Parkinsons, they are also going after BLM and Antifa for the same thing against conservative media all last summer. Think 99% of FBI even cares about Andy Ngo? How can these people sleep at night?
Worth reposting:
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” (Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn)
We have nothing left to lose.
So what’s the deal with the foundation of the FB Lie and how does that bring us to today? It’s well known that the one who took it over and ran it for 48 years into our current era was a crossdresser. But was he gay? Or a pedophile? Or a Peeping Tom “voyeur” pervert who got off on other people’s sex lives?
Much of his time J Edgar Pervert spied on every homosexual in America because he CLAIMED that meant you were a Communist. BUT WAS THAT FOR BLACKMAILING AND HIS OWN SEXUAL GRATIFICATION?
This is from the History Channel. They’re a bogus outfit, but that the case with most Lefty historians. Yet even they admit this much:
‘After the rise and fall of McCarthyism, Hoover reemerged as the nation’s leading anticommunism crusader. On the now-discredited theory that communism was linked to homosexuality, the FBI compiled vast files of suspected or known homosexuals within the U.S. government.
Ironically, rumors that Hoover himself was a closeted homosexual – and had a sexual relationship with his close friend and right-hand man at the FBI, Clyde Tolson – had swirled since the 1930s.
Despite Hoover’s widely rumored homosexuality, and his reputed penchant for cross-dressing, becoming one of the best-known aspects of his life, no hard evidence supports the idea that Hoover had a sexual relationship with Tolson – or anyone else, for that matter.
Apart from the fact that Hoover was particularly close to his mother, and until her death in 1938 lived with her in their family home, his personal life has remained shrouded in secrecy.”
OK … HE WAS A “CONFIRMED BACHELOR,” LIVED WITH HIS MOM UNTIL THE POOR WOMAN DIED, SPENT THOUSANDS OF HOURS SPYING ON AND RECORDING EVERYONE’S SEX LIFE, BRANCHED OUT TO RECORDING EVERY HOMOSEXUAL’S SEX LIFE, PROBABLY ALSO IN A CLOSETED GAY RELATIONSHIP … BUT HIS SEX LIFE IS “SHROUDED IN MYSTERY” ALTHOUGH WE KNOW ABOUT THE CROSSDRESSING.
Pervert Peeping Tom Voyeur for sure. His idea of “fighting Communism” was spending all his time recording gay sex and finding all the gays in government for “interviews.” Crossdresser when you couldn’t even pretend that was fashioanable, lived with mom.
Today only Senator Lindsay Scam the confirmed bachelor who wanted to make his sister First Lady has a similar story.
Given the horrific stats on abused children I’d look into pedophilia as well with both cases. But what we know about the core history of the FB Lie is it was nothing but trouble.
We have zero evidence that the FB Lie has been anything but a disaster for America for 100 years.
The founders of America didn’t want federal police. When the Corrupt B Lie was founded in 1908 it was a small, inconsequential outfit.
Then when J Edgar Crossdresser took over HE TURNED IT INTO AN ENORMOUS BUREACRCY AND MONSTROSITY THAT TRADED IN HIS SPYING TO ACHIEVE THEIR OWN POWER
It’s ALSO a matter of public record that J Edgar Loser used his spying to blackmail and stay in power. That’s another story.
That’s all we have here. A criminal outfit out for its own power.
THAT’S THE HISTORY…………………CORRUPTION, DEVIANCY, HELPING SOCIAL UNREST (LIKE PITTING MLK AGAINST JFK) AND DOING IT ALL TO FURTHER THEIR OWN POWER AND CAREERS
CORRUPT, CORRUPT, CORRUPT
Syllogism o’ the Day: “Insurrection” is an uprising against an Established Government. Assault on the Media is the equivalent of Insurrection. Therefore, the Media is the Established Government.
Never thought they’d admit it so clearly.
The msm is another arm of the Democrat-Communist Party.
You realize of course that they couldn’t/wouldn’t do this if we have an opposition party that loudly and clearly told them that they would be held accountable and people from that organization would go to prison for violations such as this. Unfortunately we still seem to think that keeping the GOP is going to help when in fact that is the reason the FBI/DOJ feel so confident.
Either start a real third party that enforces conservativism on its politicians as rigorously as the libs enforce their in house ideology or we may as well throw in the towel.
It is time to “GameStop” these two political parties. Put all money towards another political party and leave them to figure out how to win without us. Think about this. We go out and knock on doors, make calls, hold fundraisers, computer campaigns, money, mailers. If you tell the GOP to let their lobbyists do this and you ignore them, they will never win another election again. It takes all of the above to win an election, especially state wide races. Without this apparatus they cannot win.
I have heard of the so-called white hats in the FBI and CIA. It seems that they don’t exist.
Well, I guess arresting so many people is one way the left could help winning an election.
If they can arrest 1,000s, indict/quick trial, convict on a misdemeanor charge of treason . . . The arrestees could not vote in the mid-terms.
“If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor (except for misdemeanor treason or bribery), you do not lose your right to vote”
I wouldn’t put it pass them .
I thought the FBI was part of the group of attackers. Am I wrong?
