Just a warning, this is an angry rant. This is not your normal "let's look calmly at the data and think this through" Franklin. I am going to restrict my media intake today because I know we are going to see tons of "the day Democracy was under attack" documentaries that are filled with lies.
Insurrection and revolution are, in fact, synonyms. When the left does it, it is called revolution. And when anyone else does it, it is called insurrection. Or, in fact, the old order calls it insurrection and the new one calls it revolution. You say tomato, and I say tomato.
I feel no reason to apologize for something the FBI clearly wanted to happen and that it provoked using experts in crowd manipulation. I have about as much sympathy for the government on this matter as I do for a man who yells fire in a crowded theatre when there is none and then complains about the stampede. Indeed, their strategic deployment of commandos before anyone ever breached the capital suggests they were very safe during the whole affair---they had security under control: Of course, this is a little like leaving your door open with the jewelry sitting in plain view and then shooting the motherfucker who comes in stealing it (I imagine even Texas law frowns on this). Of course, booby traps for thieves are illegal, but they are totally ethical if you are the government---it seems. I do wonder if they had killed several hundred conservatives that day, or possibly several thousand, if the public would have a different feeling about who was in the right here and who was in the wrong: Plotting such an event besmirches the national honor regardless but there was a chance this could have become an American Tiananmen Square.
Their use of agent provocateurs is well documented, and I have posted on it at length. Why hasn't Ray Epps been charged, again? If Putin had used VSG agents to provoke protesters into storming the Kremlin and then seen five of those protesters killed, what would we say? Of course, Putin kills journalists and we merely want to kill, Julian Assange...No similarity between the current Democrat regime and Putin. (Well, Putin seems to have a more reasonable Covid policy, I suppose).
Imagine how the public would react if the FBI, fearful of the BLM movement, infiltrated a BLM protest with agent provocateurs, provoked them into committing minor felonies, and then turned it into a propaganda spectacle meant to besmear anyone who supported the movement—in fact, holding those charged in solitary confinement and substandard conditions to “teach them a lesson.”
No, I feel no shame and no remorse that some of my less clever comrades did not sense your trap before it snapped shut the way I did. I had a feeling that something was wrong, and I immediately left after Trump's speech that day (but still got visited by the FBI regardless of having committed no crime and never having come onto the Capitol grounds. I promptly told them I would not speak to them under any circumstances without a lawyer present and threw away their fucking card). I knew the absence of Antifa at the biggest protest the Trump movement had seen was highly suspicious---certainly some of them must have had the day off from Starbucks. They had been at every other protesting, dutifully assaulting Trump protesters on behalf of the DNC and George Soros, but---at this biggest protest---none could bother to show up. Obviously, someone had tipped them off at their highest levels of organization and told them not to arrive. A security fence and barricade that looked like it should still be up was noticeably pushed aside. The atmosphere was strange and surreal, and I booked it.
But I know it was the government's intent to trick me into committing a crime that day---that they want me in a cage because I dare to think our elections are less than translucent and that, perhaps, continual lockdowns are not the correct way forward. And I will not rest until the Democrat party is as defunct as the Know-Nothing party and their movement is as dead as the Confederacy. If it gets replaced with a party to the left of it but that has some ethical compass, so be it---I would rather see a Bernie party than the current regime continue indefinitely. Of course, ideally I want a world where there are either no parties or the Libertarians are the rival party (in which case I might join them), but the Democrats, in even contemplating this, are corrupt beyond all measure: It needs to be eliminated.
And my plan, of course, is to outlaw the superdelegate system and institute regulations that ensure primaries are conducted identically between the two parties---then to slowly increase executive power once that reform makes them unelectable on the presidential level. We can even market this idea as a control on Republican corruption and as a way of ensuring fairness to the Bernie Bros and the Squad---why not? It will find allies among Democrats. Its lethal effect on the party of fraud will be the same regardless of how it is marketed. And, of course, the other prong is school choice.
With absurd lockdowns coming yet again, it is time to return to the streets in protest---hopefully with a new awareness of Fed infiltration and who we can and cannot trust. Do not let this sad trick demoralize you or keep you from putting up a glorious resistance.
(And we make fun of the Qanon people, but it seems to me their main mistake is in under-estimating the harm the Democrats do to children---by running schools where they are taught nonsense that is both false and harms their ability to reason, where their academic development is neglected, where they are bullied and by giving them Covid-19 shots that carry a 1 in 2000 chance of death but offer no benefit. An occasional pedophilic orgy followed by human sacrifice looks like a Boys' Scout jamboree in comparison.)
