Feds Bust Militia Plot to Kidnap Whitmer

I’m not adding anything helpful to the discussion by saying this, but: the regular spin and matching lack of retraction in media coverage of these little events chaps my ass. It’s as if America’s collective ability to reason And remember is dying a death of a thousand cuts. [/tinfoil]

Excuse me, but America is a little busy this morning being outraged by Bill Burr's monologue on SNL last night. Priorities, dontcha know.

These friggin' sniveling snowflakes and douchenozzles need to hook up with Torquemada and get the whole Inquisition apparatus fired up again. Maybe Joseph McCarthy can get in a few licks as well.

Interesting times...

And here’s a Wapo link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...f1a_story.html

“One of alleged plotters, 23-year-old Daniel Harris, attended a Black Lives Matter protest in June, telling the Oakland County Times he was upset about the killing of George Floyd and police violence.”

The Bogaloo Boys anti GOV/Anti-LE stance and support of the BLM movement are well established in open sources. Examples include the Austin protest shooting resulting in the death of Boogaloo supporter Garret Foster and the joint BLM-Boogaloo event in Richmond VA earlier this year.

People are messy and they don’t necessarily fit in pre-conceived boxes.

Is this a copypasta? I can't tell.

nope just one man's opinion, like it or not.

It's as if media outlets were mostly concerned about sustaining a narrative of outrage porn than keeps the dopamine hits going for their target audience. Who don't want that sweet, sweet dopamine cut off by reflection.

Every outlet has done their best to copy the FOX model, because it makes money.

When the comments section on the site Naked Capitalism seems to be more rational about this sort of thing than major news outlets, it shows where we are at.

Paragraphs: an important technique in aiding reader comprehension and reminding writers to organize their thoughts.

I made a comment in the LE forum about the positive effect writing tedious reports for idiots has on our LE members post`s here.

I have a new hypothesis on how you can tell someone has never been LE by their posts.

When I was a newb in my first federal LE position, I was summoned to the supe's office and told essentially, "Hey, Hemingway...terse, telegraphic prose is all we require."

Message was received.

(Though i was a little more creative with my next agency which could appreciate the additional nuance. )

Why write a sentence when an essay will do?


I wasn't going to comment on this, but I think these guys are sort of the semi-logical but utterly retarded endpoint of people abandoning the belief that those in government are their friends and neighbors and really want what's best for the country, even of they are a bit misguided.

The Russians and the Chinese cottoned to that and their use of social media to influence people into believing the country is broken has no doubt created dozens of these assholes who would rather pick up a hammer to smash what they think isn't working, rather than try to fix it.

These guys can fuck themselves. Prison is the sentence they receive in the free world. If the USA was as bad as they thought, they'd be getting publicly mutilated and their families would be disappeared to work camps or gas chambers.

So fuck those assholes, because going to a US supermax prison is the proof that in America you can betray your country and you will still be treated with due process.

I don't think America is beyond hope. I never will.

You, my friend, are a breath of fresh air in the room.

Uhh, Hemingway was noted for his terse, descriptive, to the point writing. Hemingway was also a commie, sort of, considering he fought on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War.
