The truth about Ukraine, for the dupes and rubes

-The Ukraine War is only incidentally Ukrainian: Ukraine is only the first and most obvious choice for the Deep State as a battlefield and a sandbox for a proxy war on Russia. The Ukraine War is in fact the Deep State War on Russia, which had caused us no harm and posed us no threat, because in a word, Putin won't show gays on TV. Russia today is a white Christian power, and the satanic Deep State have determined that it must be destroyed, for those reasons that it's white and Christian and a power. 

 

-Since our Ukraine War, Putin was never more secure in his Kremlin, while in Westminster two British prime ministers leading the charge against Russia have fallen, as have both NATO governments to stand for re-election since the early months of the war. And Russia's effective alliance with China -- for only the first time since there've been a Russia and a China, the nightmare of American foreign policy for 70 years, and still another consequence of the stolen election and its stolen presidency -- has expanded to India and Egypt and effectively also Saudi Arabia, each of those having been a friend or ally of the United States under Trump.  

 

-Since our Ukraine War and its attendant Total Economic War on Russia, U.S. gross domestic product has contracted for two quarters out of three, and for three quarters out of three American stocks and bonds have bled out -- only the first time since there've been stocks and bonds that bonds have not made a safe haven from stocks -- and of course inflation was never worse, not to mention the prospect of global famine. Meantime the United States spent more on Ukraine in seven months than the total annual budget of the first-world superpower armed forces of Russia.

-The borders of Ukraine have been redrawn seven times in the last century alone: 1917, 1922, 1939, 1945, 1954, 2014, and 2022. Ukraine's borders are not inviolable or sacrosanct but arbitrary and capricious, and the Western leadership begging for World War Three and nuclear holocaust in the name of upholding Ukraine's borders, are at the same time unmaking the only borders they're in a position to enforce, namely their own.       

-Ukraine is no democracy. Zelensky has outlawed all opposition parties and all independent media, and assassinated figures suspected of favoring a negotiated settlement with Russia and having done with the needless bloodshed and destruction; even before the war he outlawed several media outlets unsupportive of him and arrested his principal political rival. The last democratic president of Ukraine, elected on a platform of friendship with Russia, was toppled in 2014 for that reason that he was friendly to Russia, in a coup d'etat staged by the self-same Deep State who orchestrated the Russia Hoax and Ukraine Impeachment and the present Ukraine War. 

 

-The corrupt war-on-Russia president of Ukraine installed in the 2014 coup was approved by then-vice president of the United States and point-man on Ukraine Joe Biden. The Biden Crime Syndicate proceeded to bilk Ukraine for several million dollars at least. Biden later threatened American aid to Ukraine to halt a Ukrainian investigation into the corruption. And on his own installation as president of the United States, Biden's regime set at once to kicking up a war with Russia in Ukraine.

-It is the Deep State who authored this Ukraine War and it's the Deep State who sustain and escalate it. The Deep State run the Biden regime, and the Biden regime run Ukraine and NATO.     

-Support for the war in Ukraine is not support for Ukraine: keeping up the war is blowing up the country and piling up the bodies. Ukraine is incidental to the Ukraine War and dispensable to the Deep State who use it for their sandbox. You who imagine you're "helping" Ukraine by sustaining the Deep State's war on Russia which only incidentally involves Ukraine, are dupes and rubes whose credulity and stupidity are lethal to Ukraine and may yet be lethal beyond Ukraine. 

-And you who imagine that Russia blew up their own vital natural gas pipelines in the Baltic, might as well kill yourselves now: you're too stupid to survive.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, for 2022

..."We" there being The True America. Any who demur from the following are too stupid to survive. Not exhaustive, and in no particular order:

 

-The vaccines don't work and aren't safe. The virus by now won't kill you but the vaccines might. 

-The bug came from the lab. "COVID-19" is biowar, clinically engineered in a Wuhan lab and deliberately released into the wide world by the regime in Beijing.

 

-2022 is a wilderness of mirrors; the every utterance of every institution and every official is a lie. If it's official, in 2022, it's a lie. 

-"1/6" is a lie and the FBI are the KGB. 

 

-Ukraine is not our ally or even our friend, and Ukraine is no democracy. Russia is not our enemy except insofar as the Deep State and Democrat Party have made an enemy of Russia. War in Europe is the doing of the Deep State and Democrat Party, involving the self-same figures who had the doing of the Russia Hoax and the Ukraine Impeachment and the 2014 coup d'etat against the duly-elected president of Ukraine for the reason that he was friendly to Russia. The United States and NATO are doing just enough to keep this Ukraine War going and to bring on a global famine while they're about it, with no prospect of victory for Ukraine, fighting a wrong and losing war to the last Ukrainian, but with some prospect of tripping into World War Three.

-Green is suicide. CO2 is the innocuous stuff we all exhale, and oxygen to the plant kingdom; the global temperature has risen all of 0.9 of a degree Celsius in a century; and the principal producer of CO2 in the world is exempted by the Greens from their Green Suicide Pact, because of course that principal producer is communist China. 

  

-The Democrat Party are a satanic force; the Republican Party are dumb, weak, corrupt, or on the other side.

-Trump won. He won big, or else the fraud against him wouldn't be so spectacular. And what has followed the stolen election, across the country and around the world, has followed from the stolen election. 

The dead burying the dead

2021 was post-democracy; 2022 is post-America. America was the last godly power on earth; America today is neither godly nor a power. The United States has been appropriated by the enemies of the United States, America is not American, and the world is on fire.

Anti-war war-mongers. For half a century they couldn't take their country's side in a war, and they excised the very word "armed" from their armed forces. Their war has been against Western Civilization and Christianity, and now that they've fully and finally won that war and America and the West can't defeat even a lot of goatherds in rags, they cry "war" for World War Three against the world's foremost nuclear power.

Post-military militarists. They invent war where there was peace, their currency is lies, and their war by other means succeeds only in cutting off our noses to spite our faces. Their war is for an ally that's not our ally and against an enemy that's not our enemy, and they leave the men in the middle to the suffering and dying. It's their gratuitous and malicious meddling that's brought this war on those faraway innocents, and they vow to do just enough to keep the war going till any innocents left haven't any country left.

  

Their fight is for a "democracy" that's no democracy, and for foreign borders that are redrawn every generation anyhow, when they've dismantled our democracies and our borders. Their patriotism is for a country halfway around the world they never gave a thought to till the day before yesterday, and they have only contempt for their own countries which are the only countries they have it in their power to save. 

 

America and the West in 2022 are Sodom and Gomorrah, and America and the West in Ukraine are the dead burying the dead.

November 2020 was a war and America lost

Just how would America 2022 be different, if the election of 2020 weren't an election but a war, and the United States defeated? 

 

The totality of the national government, the marginal majority in Congress as well as the imperial presidency and the leviathan federal bureaucracy, are unelected by the people and anathema to the people, they rule in diametric opposition to the will and the good of the people, they hate America and its people and mean the destruction of the United States. 

The border is invaded daily and nightly by untold millions annually of hostile foreigners from every corner of the planet, terrorists and criminals included, and so far from defending the country against the invasion, the national government "resettle" the invaders at taxpayer expense to determinative swing states. And those invaders are exempted from the laws and expectations of law-abiding citizens, from testing and vaccination for the China Virus to even presenting identification for travel by air. 

  

The enemies of the United States from Afghanistan to Iran and Cuba to China are given all they wish for, and for nothing, unto the point of chucking a victory in Afghanistan bought with exactly 20 years of blood and treasure, delivering the country for nothing to the most barbarous barbarians in this barbarous 21st Century, complete with $83 billion of the most sophisticated and lethal weaponry on offer, thousands of freed fighters, and the largest air base in the region. All while servicemen who love their country are run out of the service for the reason that they love their country, what's left are brainwashed into Hate America, Hate Whites critical race theory, and war-readiness gives way to maternity flight suits and government-issued gender reassignments.

 

The rights of the Bill of Rights are suspended indefinitely, for the patriot majority. The votes of the majority are vetoed. The political opposition are censored and criminalized, purged by Big Tech and blockaded by the Big Press, and raided by the FBI-KGB. Also pushed out of their jobs and careers, refused basic services, and "doxed" to expose them and their households to brownshirt retribution for their majority beliefs. Parents of public schoolchildren who demur from their public schoolboards are designated "terrorists" pursuant to the Patriot Act by the FBI-KGB. 

The Rushmorean patriot leader who stands for the great majority is tried in perpetuity by a succession of kangaroo courts whose object is to disqualify him from standing again for president and winning a third national election, he's forbidden speaking on any platform whereon he might be heard, and he and his lawyers and captains are harassed continually by lawless law officers of the regime faction, unto the point of raids of offices and homes by the FBI-KGB.

  

A gulag is instituted in the very national capital for the indefinite detention and torture without bail or trial of law-abiding citizens who love the country and fear God and believe in the Constitution, a large part of them the men who fought our wars for us, abused daily and nightly now by prison guards from Africa, beaten half to death, pepper-sprayed, stripped naked, deprived of sleep, consigned to solitary confinement for months, denied medical attention, denied sustenance, denied even elemental hygiene, their cells flooded with raw sewage, and denied consultations with counsel.

The great overwhelming white majority of the United States are denied life-saving treatments, for the reason that they're white, denied placement in the best schools and the boardrooms, denied representation in their national culture and even in the national advertising to them. The police don't police and the prosecutors don't prosecute, save for the extra-legal edicts and Stalinist fishing expeditions of the regime faction, and thugs and crooks rule the streets. American energy production is strangled, the American dollar is junked by 10 cents in 12 months, and American shelves from car parts to groceries go bare. One could go on, but QED. 

My crystal ball anymore is all mud and fog; I can't see one step in front of me. But the here-and-now is plain enough: the United States in 2022 is an occupied country.

Donut holes; or, Orphaned observations

-The Democrat Party are not the only racist political party on earth and in history, but surely they're the first and only racist party to have switched races. KKK to BLM. On both ends the Democrat Party have stolen elections.

  

-Oklahoma is a northerly projection of Texas, situated on the longitudinal equator of the contiguous United States, and constituting the center of American patriotism. 

-At the risk of over-generalization, Britain in movies circa 1950 looks like the 19th Century, and Italy in movies circa 1950 looks like the 16th; America in movies circa 1950 looks like 1950.  

-Also at the risk of over-generalization, British movies are about The War, German movies are about Germany, and French and Italian movies are about cheating. 

Cromwell, MacArthur, Hamlet: Words from times past for the present crisis

"This war will not be won by ... old, decaying serving men. We need men with fire in their bowels, who fear the Lord but not the enemy!" 

 

"By their reluctance to pursue this war with the intensity it demands, they have proved themselves treacherous, both to our cause and to this nation. ... Honest men have served us faithfully, and many have died, that this House may sit in freedom, and this nation live in liberty. In the name of God I beseech you, do not desert them now."

  

"Anarchy, corruption, division, and dissatisfaction. I say that the enemies of this nation have flourished under your protection. You were from the beginning a ... government not truly representative of the people, for have the people elected you? ... You are ... godless, self-seeking, ambitious tricksters! You are no more capable of conducting the affairs of this nation than you are of running a brothel! ... You are scum, sir, and not truly elected scum, at that!"

 

-- Oliver Cromwell, circa 1644-'53, per Ken Hughes with Ronald Harwood in Cromwell, 1970 

"I want you to remove all officers who won't fight. If necessary, put sergeants in charge of battalions and corporals in charge of companies -- anyone who will fight."

-- General Douglas MacArthur, circa 1943, per Hal Barwood and Matthew Robbins in MacArthur, 1977 

"Then sit still, my soul: foul deeds will rise,

Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes."

     
"Hold, my heart;

And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,

But bear me stiffly up. -- Remember thee!

Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat 

In this distracted globe. Remember thee!

Yea, from the table of my memory 

I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,

All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,

That youth and observation copied there; 

And thy commandment all alone shall live

Within the book and volume of my brain,

Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven!"    

-- William Shakespeare, Hamlet, circa 1603

Fin de siècle

Literally "end of century" in French, applied especially to the turn of the century from the 19th to the 20th, but in English and more broadly, the passing of an age. In this present age the globalist leftist establishment conjure a Great Reset, between flutes of champagne at Davos. And one does wonder whether we are on the point of a terrific turning-over, only not of the sort glimpsed at in the sparkles and bubbles of Davos.

 

If it's official, it's a lie. At the risk of overgeneralization, in 2021, if it's official, it's a lie. If the FBI say so, it's a lie. If "Dr." Fauci at his National Institutes for Health says so, it's a lie. We all are coming around to the truth that we are daily and nightly lied to, by the powerful and the influential, that the powerful and influential don't know what they're talking about or what they're doing or what's going on, and that the powerful and influential hate the ever-living guts of the masses of nobodies who are We the People.  

 

And at the same time that the institutions are bankrupted on the debased currency of their credibility, the upstarts demonstrate that anybody can do it. So for instance Fox News today is halfway to becoming CNN-3, but as Fox betrays us, no fewer than three alternative conservative TV news channels ride over the ridge to sustain us. As it turns out, it's not so unattainably tricky or costly to build a TV-news set, run a camera or two, and find a host and some guests who talk sense, then throw it all up onto the air. Anymore, anyone can do it, if only they work at it and they're good people with sound ideas.

 

One could go on with cases-in-point of the corrupt establishment overtaken by the dedicated amateur or the rough-and-ready upstart, but let this further exhibit suffice. Marx famously observed that "religion is the opiate of the masses," and as ever Marx was wrong, but his formulation was useful: as of some time in the later 20th Century the opiate of the masses has been televised sports. I don't say that the established leagues of the woke billionaires are finished, but to take but one example, the Superbowl which has been for the longest time the biggest thing in TV sports, rated worse in 2021 than since the 1960s when football was America's second game. And that was before the NFL declared itself homosexual and its national anthem the black national anthem. At the same time it does seem to me that the energy and growth anymore are with the amateur and outsider, the rough-and-ready, the upstart and unwoke in sports, like UFC or NASCAR or college ball. Fin de siècle, maybe. 

 

It may be that I'm thinking wishfully, but I find the signs and the proofs of it daily, that the rot of the last half-century has gotten to be unsupportable, that the godless elite and lawless establishment who lord over us are exposed for the forces of evil they are, and that the elite and establishment stand today about where the Roman Church stood, about the time Martin Luther nailed those Ninety-five Theses to that door.

The late, last godly power

Six little months; half a year of war and rumors of war.

 

Three acts of war on the United States, cyber sabotage on the economic infrastructure, without consequence to the saboteurs. Something like 50 attacks on Americans in Iraq, one by drone. War anew in Iraq and Syria. War also in Israel and Gaza, after the Abraham Accords and the greatest peace in the Mideast since the founding of Israel in '48. A third of Afghanistan is reclaimed by the Taliban.  

In Haiti the president is assassinated. South Africa descends into undeclared race war of black against white with corpses "lining the roads".

China mobilizes against Taiwan. Russia is driven into the arms of China by the same forces who authored the Russia Hoax and Ukraine Impeachment, aligning with China against us diplomatically as well as militarily, and driven also to mobilization against our forward base of Ukraine. 

What it all comes to, this half-year of war and rumors of war, in my reckoning, is that the world America has borne on its shoulders, is crashing down around us: America is not America, not in 2021, and in 2021 America is collapsed, past-tense; America was the last godly power on earth, but as of 2021 America is not godly and neither is it a power.

New Old Hollywood

The patriots are building a new news and a new internet, but we're wanting a restored culture for a restored republic. And I say we start with a New Old Hollywood.

 

I know in my bones that the country and the world are crying out for a New Old Hollywood. The audience is there: the ratings and box office and every anecdotal signifier are screaming that the people already have tuned out; the country and the world are starved. And I'm convinced too that if one of our number were to found a modest studio and issue the mother of all casting calls, "Now hiring anyone who loves the movies but doesn't hate the country," including from Hollywood and maybe including some powers in Hollywood if they're still drawing breath like Clint Eastwood, then a New Old Hollywood might be thrown up practically overnight.   

America and the Western world more generally by now would scarcely recognize a culture: for half a century culture has been counter-culture; these 50 years and more we've been fumbling through a New Dark Age. The story of the last half-century since 1968 or thereabouts, in a word, is that the technology got better and every other blessed thing got worse.

  

The elite and the establishment are collapsed, and the Left bankrupt, totally and finally. There can be no earthy use anymore in critiquing them by way of nudging them to reform; they never will throw in with us and neither will they let us into their inside. The Left and the elite and the establishment are all rot and poison; for half a century their every word and deed have been rot and poison. They are the dark side in a great struggle and can only be vanquished, I pray not by force of arms but through the manifest superiority of our ideas and works. And so it's left to us to resolve like Robert Graves a century ago, "Goodbye to all that," and set to building our restored republic with a restored culture.   

And I'd venture one further. We might build our New Old Hollywood in the rich and growing conservative satellite of tropical Houston in red-state Texas, the fourth-largest city and the second-largest state, where the winter lasts just two months in twelve, namely The Woodlands. And obviously we couldn't fail to name a New Old Hollywood built in The Woodlands, "The Hollywoodlands". Also if we were wanting a name for that founding studio then we could do worse than the sort of stamp on the titles of movies in the Midcentury, that they were made in "Hollywood, U.S.A." (And postscript, addressed to any would-be moviemaker in our would-be New Old Hollywood: I'm sitting on a script to change the movies, change the world, and change your life.)

Automat Revival

Bring back the Automat, I say:

Retro-Midcentury Modern design combining the Howard Johnson and the chrome diner and the Automat. Every table a booth. And on every table a miniature jukebox, glowing with the menu and corresponding buttons, and on the side of the juke a card-swiper. Ranks of clear plastic tubing lining the ceiling and walls, table-level model-train tracks discreetly ringing the restaurant: the tubes to convey the drinks, and the tracks the dishes. Jets of pop streaking overhead; watch your drink zipping and twisting to your cup over the length of the restaurant. And proceeding from the mysterious, unseen kitchen, a procession of 30" scale characters shuttling along the tracks bearing trays and dishes: a lovely fat Jersey cow; a plump, pink pig; a two-tone-with-chrome '56 Chevy in turquoise; a rocket from science fiction before the Moonshot, with fins and needle-nose and aerodynamic bulge, in unpainted aluminum alloy; an outsized Coke bottle and an outsized Heinz ketchup bottle; and the popular favorite, the classical 1950s "tin can on legs" robot -- pronounced "RO-but" after the Midcentury fashion -- waving his dryer-hose arms mechanically and superfluously.

The dumb-waiter trundles along the tracks to the table that placed its order, where it slows and halts, and waits patiently until a sensor detects that it's been relieved of the last of its order, whereupon it trundles off, around the loop until finally it vanishes into that inner sanctum which is the kitchen. And at the end a punchline: depress the "BUS TABLE" button at the bottom of the miniature jukebox and a caricature of a Midcentury garbage man materializes from the kitchen, proceeding along the tracks to the table in question and shaking his head judgmentally. Deposit your detritus on the tray mounted atop his scale classical aluminum trash can, tap his head twice, and away he goes, shaking his head at the mess you've made. "No substitutions. No cash or checks. No waiters, no tips. Take it as you find it, or take off. This is an automat. Thank you for your cooperation and your custom."

Communism comes to America and hell comes to earth: The case of Felicia Konold

The outrages pile up and scream out to Heaven. This tragedy in miniature is just one such case of two reported just this afternoon on just one dedicated-amateur news site. Felicia Konold, of Arizona: young white single mother of a ten-year-old son with a second child on the way; lives in a mobile home, works odd jobs, homeschools her little boy, tends her animals and her garden; miraculously recovered from a horrific car crash; and a Trump-loving patriot. On the 6th of January Konold visited her national capital to rally for Trump and the republic, and was presumably let into her national legislature by Capitol Police; she was peaceable and polite, and on being advised that "people were not supposed to be there," she duly hurried out. A month later, the FBI tore her from her bed as she slept, guns drawn. 

Konold's street was choked with the vehicles of a small army of law enforcement dispatched to apprehend a small, pregnant woman in her bed in her trailer, and to raid her home, confiscating an inventory of her belongings running to two pages. The FBI dumped her into a cell for a week, notwithstanding her pregnancy, then released her to house-arrest complete with painful shackle for electronic surveillance, forbidden from gainful employment and even from shopping groceries. She's charged on five now-familiar counts including "conspiracy", all of them laughable, carrying 30 years in federal prison. And extraordinarily the FBI warned her against communication with any other agency of law enforcement, which for what it's worth I read as an admission of abuse: I say they know they're straying well outside the law, and veering outside decency and sanity, and that their lawlessness and wickedness would be apparent to any as-yet uncorrupted officer of the law. This girl lives in a trailer so ipso-facto she hasn't the means for a proper legal defense, and her lawyer is a public defender apparently untroubled by any obligation to demonstrate her innocence.      

And it gets worse, as in this Age of President Asterisk it only ever gets worse: after her week's incarceration, Konold discovered that her stock-trading and social media accounts had been suspended and the online record of her law-abiding, decent little life wiped. The malicious and mendacious press have reported her as a monstrous "insurrectionist", and the more demonic elements of the anti-democratic Democratic Party have proceeded as ever to harass and threaten her. A fund for Felicia Konold has been posted to Venmo, @Felicia-Konold-1, and she and masses like her could do with your prayers, too.    

In related news, this same day: Biden regime terminates investigation into fatal shooting without warning by Capitol Police of unarmed Trump supporter. In the course of the January 6 run on the Capitol, a Capitol Police plainclothesman shot in the neck a small, unarmed white woman 14 years in the service of the Air Force, without warning, whereupon he among other Capitol Police at hand abandoned her to bleed to death. Even these hundred days since, the identity of the killer cop is unknown, in this age when any cop anyplace in America who shoots a crook who happens to be black, becomes at once a household name, suspended summarily and charged criminally and vilified universally, and "doxed". Unknown too is the story of why two Capitol Police, in the days following the 6th of January, should have had cause for killing themselves.  

  

And just 48 hours before, President Asterisk himself effectively sanctioned the last night's violent and vicious rioting and looting led by Black Lives Matter, as "peaceful protests" and "understandable", whereafter the rioting duly escalated and spread. Antifa only just set fire to a federal facility in Portland, with federal officers inside, but Antifa are to the Democrat Party as the Brownshirts were to the Nazi Party, so "That's alright, then." This is post-democracy: the patriots are the "terrorists"; the law are the crooks and the crooks are king; and the powers-that-be know no law and no God. Communism has come to America and hell has come to earth.

Communism comes to America and hell comes to earth: The case of Joshua James

Joshua James, of Alabama: married with three children, the youngest being three years old; Christian; small businessman; and a combat veteran of Iraq with a Purple Heart to his name. In other words, "The Enemy" to The Party. Joshua James has no criminal record; he's a civic-minded sort and has volunteered for rescue and relief from natural disasters among other such hometown heroism. And in keeping with that profile, Joshua James is a strenuous supporter of President Trump and recognizes that the 2020 election was stolen.

James wasn't present at the Capitol on January 6; at the time of the run on the Capitol he was well away at the Ellipse, in attendance for Trump's speech with maybe a million other souls. But this week the Federal Bureau of Investigation turned up at Joshua James' middle-class home in Alabama; he's not accused of violence or even of being present at the Capitol, but the FBI deployed with an armored Hummer complete with turret, two FBI vans and six vehicles more from the FBI, plus three vehicles from the local constabulary who one hopes lament their part in this wickedness. 

The FBI arrested Joshua James, are holding him without bail until trial, and are to transfer his custody and his case to Washington. The FBI then invaded James' home and searched it for nearly eight hours, and not delicately, while his wife Audrey and their three-year-old were stuck outside; I don't pretend to be an authority on law enforcement but common sense would indicate that if a search of a modest home by a small army of trained investigators runs to a full work-day, they're not finding what they're looking for. A warrant was produced two days thereafter for a family cellphone, since which time the family have been the object of harassment and threats. And the lawless law stooped to turning against James his service to his country in war, in the most disgusting hate-America pop-culture cliche of an argument that James was liable to be a menace to society, what with the "PTSD" and all, in consequence of which James must be detained indefinitely pending the disposition of his case in the national capital. The outrages pile up and scream out to Heaven.      

Joshua James is the breadwinner for his family who have nothing approaching the resources for his legal defense; he was represented at court by a public defender who was powerless against what the man termed "pressure coming down" from on high. Audrey was left to found a fund for the family online. She was interviewed and her husband's story amplified by The Gateway Pundit, God bless Gateway Pundit. I wait with ever-greater disgust and ever-more violent rage for Republican officeholders and statesmen or professional civil-rightsers to speak up and stand up for Joshua James and the nameless masses of Joshua Jameses. George W. Bush ordered these men to war, but to judge by his perfect, placid silence on their cause he's oblivious to or unbothered by their vilification and criminalization as some vanguard in a scourge of "domestic terrorism". 

This case of Joshua James is but one outrage in an ocean of them, known however widely it may be known owing only to James' wife Audrey who's a fighter and who makes an articulate and forceful argument, and has taken her fight and her argument to the free-speech internet. This is not law enforcement; it would be recognizable to a survivor of authoritarianism or totalitarianism, as criminalization of the political opposition. Communism has come to America and hell has come to earth.
