The “Trump Insurrection” — a Fantasy that Did Not Happen, by Paul Craig Roberts

If you want to pick the moment when the U.S. slid irretrievably into a police state, the January 6 persecution is probably it. From Paul Craig Roberts at paulcraigroberts.org:

On October 11, FBI Special Agent Justin Eller testified at the seditious conspiracy trial of four Oath Keepers in federal court.  An attorney for the defense asked Eller if in the Oath Keepers’ communications that he reviewed there was any indication that the Oath Keepers intended to storm the Capitol or stop the certification of the stolen presidential election.  He answered “no” to both questions.

In other words, the FBI and the federal prosecutor had no evidence in support of the charges against the Oath Keepers who were on trial.

Today this is commonplace in America.

Before we go further, let us establish the identity of Oath Keepers.  According to the whore media they are far rightwing white supremacists who are a threat to American democracy.  But in actual fact they seem to be for the most part military veterans who swore the oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.  As the Oath Keepers were formed for that purpose, why, if they are Oath Keepers, would they violate their oath by conspiring against the United States?

The Democrats know, as does the whore media, that the Democrats stole the last presidential election. The presstitute mantra that “there is no evidence of a stolen election” is demonstrably false from the hard evidence and its presentation by many independent experts.  But as the presstitutes say it is not so, it is not so.

Jared: The Birdbrain of Alcatraz, by Ann Coulter

Prison “reforms” that puts criminals back on the streets have not worked very well. From Ann Coulter at anncoulter.com:

In the systematic dismantling of common sense in America, Jared Kushner’s “sentencing reform” bill is the coup de grace — a Mack Truck hurtling down the highway about to take out thousands of Americans. The Idiot Army is already in place to fight and win this battle.

Jared and the hip-hop artists currently advising him have decided that too many people are in prison. If you think you’ve heard this before, you have: Genius insights of this sort have preceded nearly every major crime wave this country has experienced, from Philadelphia to California to a bloody period known as “the Warren Court.”

As anyone with an amoeba’s understanding of recent history knows, beginning in the early ’60s, assorted heads-up-their-asses liberals jettisoned logic, common sense and a basic understanding of human nature by releasing criminals from the prisons where they belonged.

Instead of punishing criminals, we would give them social services, education and job training — with the implied understanding that they wouldn’t move next door to any of the reformers. The experts assured a disbelieving public that these policies would reduce crime.

As Thomas Sowell writes in The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy, the stage was set. Liberal criminologists’ soft-on-crime policies were in place. We only needed empirical evidence.

“THE RESULTS: Crime rates skyrocketed. Murder rates suddenly shot up until the murder rate in 1974 was more than twice as high as in 1961. Between 1960 and 1976, a citizen’s chances of becoming a victim of a major violent crime tripled.”
