The J6 Story: Actually, a POLICE Riot

Something else that will NOT be covered by "The News."

A new documentary on the January 6 disturbance at the U.S. Capitol reveals multiple “flagrant” crimes committed by police, including murder, assault “with intent to do great bodily harm,” and premeditated entrapment on a massive scale....

 ...utilizing expert analysis, eyewitness accounts and exclusive video footage, the film unveils multiple facts indicating a deliberate plan by federal authorities to violently provoke the massive crowd into behaviors that would provide officers a pretense for the use of disproportionate (and even criminal) force with an ability to make widespread arrests of the pro-Trump protestors....

Reminder:  This is the police department which is ruled by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer; the one which turned down Trump's offer of National Guard assistance.  Now we know why.

 ...“The initial use of explosive munitions that day started at about 1:25 in the afternoon,” [on-site reporter] Hanneman continued. “The police launched explosives into the crowd which was pretty much just viewing there and standing [on the lawn].”

Some of the explosives contained “hard plastic pellets that rained down, and some had tear gas in them” that caused injuries evoking dismay and tremendous anger among the peaceful protestors who “largely support law and order” as expressed in the slogan “back the blue.”...

Hanneman's opinion is confirmed by a long-time police chief:

 ...The Epoch Times interviewed Stan Kephart, a former police chief and security director of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles....

 ...With 42 years of law enforcement experience, serving in various leadership roles in California, Arizona and Missouri, Kephart “has testified more than 350 times in federal, state and tribal court.”

Kephart classified this conduct by the police as “egregious,” and a “supervisory failure.” The individual in charge “should have put those people in posted positions or in a skirmish line or in a defense posture between the objective that they were protecting and the crowd. That wasn’t being done.”

Instead, “that was a shooting gallery up there, a congregation of officers … who were using these munitions to inflict harm and injury on people below them. It’s egregious.”...

 In other words, that was a police riot.  They killed at least two people--one was outright murder, the other was manslaughter-by-beating.

You didn't hear about any of those cops resigning over all this, did you?

You won't.

Things "The News" Doesn't Mention

Local Pravda--not to mention Channrels 6, 12, 58, and 4--don't seem to have time to cover this.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission in mid-August sent a note to clerks about voter reactivations.

...“As part of ongoing litigation in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, the WEC is reactivating select voter records previously deactivated on July 31, 2021. These were voters identified in the 2019 Active Movers cohort who had not submitted a new voter registration, affirmed their address, or voted in an election between October 2019 and July 2021,” the Elections Commission said in a communication to clerks....

Don't bother asking WEC for reasons or numbers.

 ...The Elections Commission never responded to questions from The Center Square as to how many voters are being reactivated, or how the commission chose the voters being added back to the MyVote system. It did say how many will remain inactive....

You don't GET to know, Deplorable.  WEC does what it wants to do.  Your job is to pay for WEC.  Shut up. 

Just in time for the Fall elections!!!

The Wailing Mayor of Spend It--Milwaukee

Mayor "Corvair" Johnson of Milwaukee wants more money from out-state taxpayers.

..."The revenues just are not flowing the way that they used to, and then that's having a direct effect on our ability to fund core city services," Johnson said.

Johnson says shared revenue not only dropped but flatlined since 2000. Here's what that state money paid for 22 years ago.

"We used to get enough money to pay for the entirety of the police department budget, which is our largest budget expenditure, the entirety of the fire department budget and have several millions of dollars left over to invest in roads, invest in other priorities for the city," Johnson said. "Now we don't even get enough back in shared revenue to pay for the police department's budget."...

Just for fun, we looked at the Cop Shop budgets in MKE for 2000 and 2021.

In 2000, the Milwaukee Police budget was $149 million.  Adjust that for inflation, and you get $261 million as of July 2022.

What was the police budget in Milwaukee for LAST YEAR?

Two Hundred Ninety-Seven million dollars. 

There are less cops on the street in Milwaukee.  Are out-state taxpayers expected to give Milwaukee MORE than inflation-adjusted dollars?

If so, why??

Not Only "Security" for Barnes

Bice reveals Mandela Barnes' $600 THOUSAND dollar "security" bill paid by Wisconsin taxpayers.

 

...In his first three years as the state's No. 2, Barnes has averaged more than 13½ hours of security protection a day — including weekdays, weekends and holidays — at a daily cost to the state of $660 for patrol officers' wages. That's more than 10 times the number of hours as his predecessor....

There are some interesting details in the story.

 ...Maddy McDaniel, a Barnes spokeswoman, said the state Dignitary Protection Unit makes the decisions as to whether to provide the high-profile lieutenant governor with security for any particular event or day and how many patrol members to use. ...

Really?

...In 2019, a State Patrol official said security decisions were made by the patrol and the governor’s office....

In other words, Evers made the decision to escort Barnes everyplace he went.

But what Bice doesn't tell you is this:  Barnes didn't have a driver's license early in his time as Loot Gov.  (See what I did there?)  That is why the State Patrol spent countless hours with him:  they were driving him around on personal and political business.

 ...For instance, the state provided 54 hours of security to Barnes at a cost of nearly $2,300 in state salaries over three days in October 2021 when he ran in the Chicago Marathon. This figure doesn't include other expenses for the security detail, such as lodging or mileage. 

Two weeks later, Barnes racked up 10 hours of security costs while attending a one-hour Sunday fundraiser for his Senate campaign at The Newport in Milwaukee and participating in a 30-minute virtual event for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. No other events are listed for the day on his calendar....

The most laughable claim made by Barnes (and Evers)?

...The campaign for Barnes, the first Black lieutenant governor, declined to say whether he's received threats, referring the question to state officials to answer....

Ooooooh.  "Threats"!!

Kleefisch was the Lt Gov when Act 10 was passed.  That legislation aroused the longest and loudest protests in the history of Wisconsin up to that point in time.  Legislators were literally loaded into buses to get them in and out of the Capitol.  Threats were everywhere, all day, all night.

Little Boy Loot-Gov Barnes doesn't have a clue what real 'threats' are.

But he does have nicely-muscled chauffeurs and bodyguards, thanks to you!

Where's Scott Fitzgerald (R?-WI)??

 Perhaps Scott Fitzgerald is too busy sending stupid surveys, or putting money into Zelenskyy's pockets?

Tom Tiffany (R-WI) wrote a bill to prohibit US taxpayer money funding the World Economic Forum.

Fitzgerald didn't co-sponsor.  

Sleeping?

For that matter, we're still waiting for Fitzgerald to make a statement on the Gulag Prisoners of J6.  Wisconsin murder suspects are granted bail, but people who trespassed on the Capitol?  No hearing, no trial, just jail.

Clouseau-Clumsy Op to Cover FEEB's Ass at M-a-L

We've suspected for a while what Lee Smith vocalized:  that the Mar-a-Lago op which was clumsy, illegal, un-Constitutional, and really, really, stupid, had nothing to do with "national security."

...“I think the best way to understand this is in the context of a six-year-long operation targeting Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s aides, and Donald Trump’s supporters,” Smith said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak. “I have different colleagues and people whose insight and whose wisdom I trust very much, and they believe that what the FBI was looking for were documents related to … what the FBI called the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, but what most most of the rest of us know as the Russiagate operation meant to target candidate Trump, then President-elect Trump, and then President Donald J. Trump.”...

It is reported that the FBI had to fire 14 people (4 of those firings were widely-known) over its 5-year effort of spying on Trump and its persecution of dozens of Trump aides and allies.  The stink is smeared over every FBI field agent.  This raid was designed to recover (and destroy???) documents which proved its deliberate, malicious, and criminal activities.

That won't erase the stink.  The taxpayer pops $10 BILLION/year into that sewer.  Why?

Marquette U's Troubles

A well-known conservative website ran a story about Marquette University's race troubles, calling Marquette a "Christian" school.

Hmmmmm.

Only 75 years ago, Marquette was a Catholic school.  Then, about the time that the Warrior was replaced with a bird, it became a "Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition."

We're not sure if "Christian" is an upgrade from "Jesuit tradition" or not.

Either way, Marquette earned its troubles.  Art Heitzer, another MU grad, would be proud.  (Just remember who Art Heitzer really is.  Maybe take a tour of Cuba with him, or send a donation to the Communist-front National Lawyers' Guild. 

MU, Rah Rah.

The Trump Effect on US Jobs

After years of watching US jobs bleed out to the Far East (mostly Red China), the presidency of Donald Trump turned that around big-time.

It had been clear that offshoring supply lines for products sold here (and final-assembled here) was not a bright idea; not much point in "making it cheaper" if there's no "it" to sell due to supply-line problems, so re-shoring the jobs had been happening for a while.  Along with the re-shoring the US also saw an increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from companies headquartered overseas but selling goods here.

Donald Trump's tax and incentive policies put re-shoring and FDI into high gear.  This chart tells the story very well. 

One Sacrificial FEEB

There is a sacrificed FEEB.

Former Washington Field Office Special Agent in Charge Tim Thibault was reportedly escorted out of the Bureau's headquarters on Friday, amid whistleblower allegations that he showed political bias in his handling of politically sensitive investigations.

The Washington Times reported eyewitness accounts that "Mr. Thibault was seen exiting the bureau's elevator last Friday escorted by two or three 'headquarters-looking types.'"

Whistleblowers alleged that Thibault concealed the partisan nature of evidence from FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland to secure their approval to open an investigation into former President Donald Trump. That investigation culminated in the FBI's raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month.  --Ace of Spades quoting Just the News

Ace quotes a commenter to the effect that Thibault is in VERY deep doo-doo and is likely to get fired.  That would make 4 perjurers/fraudsters canned over Trump that we know of.

Only another 1,000 to go.

Fr. Rutler on The Dragon

From Fr. G. Rutler's The Seven Wonders of the World (The Tomb of Mausolus)

History is the mythic term for God's real war in the world.  .....It has become an affectation to speak of religious truths in terms of "story-telling".  What the evangelists call the Gospel of Jesus Christ, some pedants call 'stories about Jesus.'  But there are two ways to tell a story; one is to relate an event and the other is to fabricate an event.  ......The stories the Church tells are not of [the latter] kind.  When she speaks of dragons, she is telling the truth.  .......The full story of the evil dragon has not been written yet, but its plot is already laid out graphically in millions of cemetery plots where lie the carcasses cremated by his fiery breath.

With the possible exception of some of the major newspapers, no voices have surpassed the ecclesiastics of a certain naively progressive stripe in the inane ways they have denied the existence of the dragon.  Religion in modern Western culture became a dragon-denying placebo for spiritual headaches.  It lost a sense of spiritual combat and sank into two contradictory alternatives:  pacifism and terrorism.  A curious schizophrenia afflicted religious pacifists recommending guerilla struggles in territories that fit their political agenda.  And this was simply because the spiritual combat of saints and dragons was thought unreal, and political fantasy was thought real.  The dominant political fantasy, of course, was Marxism, and it has been found fraudulent like the Wizard of Oz with his smoke and mirrors.  The underlying prejudice has just been a lazy optimism about human innocence and the unreality of evil.  It was as if the human race fell only in the sense that it was not paying enough attention to where it was going; and the once it got up and dusted itself off, there would be no end to the future.  Past and future in fact were said to be infinite.  There was no creation; and man had not lost Paradise, he had just gotten out of the primeval slime.  According to this theory, man's only obstacle to happiness is man himself.  He does not have to be redeemed; he needs a little retooling here and there and soon--Utopia.  Of all reveries, this was the most delicate and dangerous; and as man tried to live it as a fact, he found many dragons hiding along the way.

He certainly has.

Will Iraq Fall to Iran??

A riot goes on in Baghdad and the US Embassy's staff is airlifted out.

Looks like Iran may be the beneficiary, which will put the Saudis on red alert.

Interrupted Biden's nap, too.

The Stupid Party Again?

The Republican Party has been called "the Stupid Party" for at least a decade, and it looks like they're earning another couple years' possession of that title.

...Beyond the empirical evidence showing that key economic factors are reversing course and thus becoming useless as campaign attack points, the fact of the matter remains that economic talking points are, quite simply, snooze-inducing. In this new era of culture war-driven politics, where personalities supersede policies, and heart-wrenching social issues are far more captivating than the policy wonk whiteboard presentations often seen in D.C. think tanks or on Fox News, nitpicking over fiscal policies or making a crusade out of temporary economic woes are strategies that are doomed to fail.

It was this economics-focused GOP that pushed so heavily for Molinaro in New York....

And Molinaro lost, in an R+3 District.

What actually wins for Pubbies?

You could ask Youngkin, or the dozens of conservatives who won Florida school-board slots last week.

...Unlike the national GOP that failed miserably in the New York election, the Florida GOP—led by Governor Ron DeSantis—has kept the campaign focus where it should be: on hot-button cultural and social issues that get the voters’ collective blood boiling. Economic issues will bring out the same voters who haven’t produced majorities for years. But these issues can produce a broad coalition of voters who otherwise would not turn out for conservative candidates.

The words that I wrote almost one year ago remain more relevant today than ever before: If the Republican Party and its candidates continue hammering cultural issues the way they did in the Virginia elections, following the example set by President Trump, then they will have an ironclad campaign strategy that will carry them to victory....

But following Trump's path?  McConnell and the rest of the (R) Dummie Funnies in DC and Wisconsin would rather lose for 100 years than admit Trump was right.

Unfortunately, it won't take 100 years to turn this country into another Third World shithole.

 

Irony Plus Stupid

 You may assign either "irony" or "stupid" to the characters below:

Warmonger Criticizes Trump & Bai-Den

Look for the key words here.

Retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, who oversaw the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan as commander of U.S. Central Command, placed blame on both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for how the war ended in an interview Sunday.

McKenzie made the comments in a wide-ranging discussion with defense journalist Jennifer Griffin on Fox News Sunday about the end to the nation's longest war and the fallout from it. McKenzie, who retired in April after 42 years of service, was asked about Biden and Trump individually. He reiterated that he opposed a complete military exit from the failed state, arguing to Griffin after she asked about the chaotic August withdrawal that the decision to eliminate any troop presence was largely responsible for what went wrong....

McKenzie is perfectly happy to continue war forever, so Trump is "wrong."

Except that Trump was right; McKenzie's military empire-desire is wrong, and Biden🤡🤡 made a complete and total mess out of it.  It's what Biden does. 

The Warmonger speculates:

...Al-Qaeda is still present in Afghanistan, and in a permissive environment offered by the Taliban regime, the threat posed to the U.S. homeland by the terrorist group will grow, the former commander of U.S. Central Command said on Sunday....

So long as Biden maintains an open border, that may be the case.  But you didn't hear him say that, did you?

Yes, Aaron, They're Stooges

In a few more years, Aaron Rodgers will realize that it isn't just the NFL that has "stooges."

Another revelation by Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers in his interview with Joe Rogan revealed how the NFL threatened players by holding their jobs hostage unless they got vaccinated.

During the August 27 Joe Rogan podcast in which Rodgers admitted that he purposefully misled the media on his vaccination status, Rodgers also blasted the NFL for its efforts to force players to take the jab.

Rodgers slammed the NFL for “virtue signaling” over the vax and added that the league sent out “stooges” to force compliance.

“Look how righteous our league is, we have 95% compliance with the vaccine,” Rodgers scoffed. “If you don’t, we’re going to send a stooge to your team to show you graphs of your vaccination percentage of your team compared to the rest of the league, which actually happened.”...

Hey, Aaron!!  Ever think seriously about the FBI??

Familiar Sad Story

 Boeing is having trouble with its latest, the Starliner.

Commenter on Insta's story:

“It pretty much started with the Rockwell aerospace and McDonnell Douglas mergers in the mid 90s. It’s a long story, but somehow the MDAC people ended up running the company, and they started running it into the ground, including moving HQ from Seattle to Chicago, and putting the bean counters instead of the engineers in charge.”

That's what took Chrysler down, too, back in the 1970's (pre-Iacocca).  

The Wrath of God

It is forgotten by modern Churchmen that God can be a wrathful kinda guy.  But He was--and is.

...Israel’s identity had been established in the Sinai Covenant: “You will be my people and I will be your God.” Covenants in the ancient Near East normally came with contractual terms, as did Sinai’s. We call those terms today “the Ten Commandments.” They begin with the prohibition of idolatry: “I am the Lord, your God. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.” Indeed, in the long version of the Commandment, Yahweh calls Himself “a jealous God” who punishes sin (Exodus 20:5).

Israel had been previously unfaithful to its covenant. Even as Moses was coming down the mountain with the Ten Commandments, the Israelites—who had experienced God’s signs and wonders delivering them from Egypt—were partying in front of a golden calf (see Exodus 32:1-35), a calf fashioned by the priest left behind to keep Israel on the straight and narrow: Aaron.  

God Himself initially threatens to let His “anger…burn against them and that I may destroy them” (Exodus 32:10). It is Moses who, like Abraham on behalf of Sodom (Genesis 18:16-33), pleads with God to desist.  ...

...And while Moses talks God out of vengeance against idolatrous Israel, Moses hardly treats that deferral as a “beautiful, prophetic manifestation” of God’s Mercy to foster a dialogue with the bovine-bowing Israelites.

Instead, he sends the Levites through the camp, and they execute “about [twenty-]* three thousand” (Exodus 32:28) idolaters. 

This is the Old Testament's way of saying 'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.'

Contrast that to Francis I's attempt to write the death penalty out of the Catechism.  Or the bleating of certain Churchmen against war, even a just one.  Or their similar wailing over violent self-defense.

Take heed.

*Translations differ.  The Vulgate's Latin says twenty-three thousand (cecideruntque in die illa quasi viginti tria millia hominum.)

 

"Government Men": the Core of the Deep State

Let's get the categories straight.  There are "Government Men" and there are "Not-Government Men."

The difference should be obvious.  Codevilla used the term "Ruling Class", which meant "Government Men" plus their cousins/camp-followers in finance, the press, military supply, education and, increasingly, health services and products.  That's because Government Men spend the money that their camp-followers want and need and can withhold said moneys in favor of other camp-followers.  

Government Men stick together.  It is very rare for a Government Man to be shunned after making an error like election fraud, rape, sodomy, or theft.  They turn up again as part of the camp-follower group or back in some obscure Government Man position.  Government Men make the rules, so it's no problem for Government Men to break them.  Embarrassing on occasion, but......no problem. 

All else?  "Not-Government Men."  Those consist of two classes:  the sheep who are shorn, and the dependents.  The sheep earn money and by and large, pay taxes--i.e., get shorn.  They do the things that keep the country running; things like building buildings, making and fixing cars and other things, driving trucks and trains, growing crops, working in retail and distribution.  The dependents?  Exactly that:  they take money, usually from Government Man.  

Government Men take care of themselves.  In the most recent case, that of student loan giveaway, we see that D.C., Maryland, and Virginia are three of the five areas which benefit the most from Government Man's largesse.  So happens that those areas are also Government Man hives.  Huh!

Government Man is not stupid.  In order to keep Not-Government Men/sheep in line, Government Man maintains very large and well-armed Government Man spying and enforcement divisions, at the Federal and State levels.  While most local enforcers are not camp followers, many are.  Further, they can be turned into Government Men easily:  give them a choice of being fired or following illegal, unethical, or immoral orders and you'll have more Government Men.

Are you beginning to understand why Trump--a Not-Government Man--has been persecuted, vilified, slandered, and subjected to torture-by-Government Man lawyers?  Take a long look at the careers of 'honorable' Members of Congress.  You'll find Government Men, career Government Men who may have spent a few years in Not-Government slots.  Don't be stupid enough to think that the (D) or (R) label makes a difference.  They are all Government Men, period.

For that matter, look at your State's Government Men.  Some pretend to have civilian occupations, but they don't actually work on those.  They may aspire to Big Boy Government Man jobs (Federal), or may be happy with a smaller fiefdom; but the rules are the same.   They take care of each other, they have spies and enforcers, and they love to shear sheep.  And just like Federal Government Men, they have friends who will happily organize mostly peaceful riots, terrorism, and looting if necessary.  Those friends usually are paid through Government Man camp-followers such as 'social service' organizations and/or teachers' unions.

Don't make a Category Error!!  Recognize Government Man for what he is.  Act accordingly. 

A Fake Judge To Go With Fake News

Nice point, albeit not important in our Police State.

...Leave aside whether there was a good reason to issue the warrant. A more basic question is whether the Hon. Bruce Reinhart could constitutionally issue it. 

Under the Constitution, a Search Warrant Must Be Signed by a Judge

The problem is that Reinhart is a so-called magistrate judge. Many commentators have focused on his personal history and political leanings, but much more significant is that he is not really a judge. 

To be precise, he is not a judge of a court of the United States. The judicial power of the United States is vested in its courts. In the exercise of this power, judges of those courts can issue search warrants. But a magistrate judge is just an assistant to a court and its judges. Not being a judge of one of the courts of the United States, he cannot constitutionally exercise the judicial power of the United States. That means he cannot issue a search warrant....

Wauck quoting Philip Hamburger

So?

At this point the FEEBS have what they want:  the documents proving that the FEEBS cooked up the "Russia Russia" thing in '16 and have been committing literal insurrection (along with their Justice Department superiors) for about six years or so.

Think you'll ever see those documents?

The Real World
