From the land of Ralph “Kill the babies give me all your guns” Northam, news from hell.

The Virginia Department of Health under Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) is encouraging Virginians to file an anonymous report to snitch on various establishments for violating the governor’s restrictions to fight the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic that came from China. State Sen. Mark Obenshain (R) pondered whether Northam is trying to turn Virginia into a “society of … snitches.”

[ … ]

The “society of snitches” form, entitled “Online Complaint Report for Violations of Executive Order 63 (Face Coverings) and Executive Order 65 (Phase Two Easing of Certain Temporary Restrictions)” and first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, indeed includes a drop-down menu listing eight different types of establishments, including “Indoor Gun Range” and “Religious Service” as options.

A note to readers in Virginia.  Listen to me.  I see that a number of pastors have signed a letter pleading with him to change his mind.  Don’t appeal to this communist.  Ignore him.  Don’t fear the anonymous snitches, and don’t fear illegitimate rulers.  Only fear God.  A note to LEOs in Virginia.  Refuse to enforce this abomination.  As I’ve said before, the desire to control others is the signal pathology of the wicked.  Don’t be a part of his wickedness.  God will judge you for it.

A quick note to kill babies Northam.  Blow it out your ass, communist.

One day ago I said this.

Most people have left CHAZ. Only a hard core remain. Meanwhile, drones have video in preparation for the hundreds of arrest warrants to be issued for: looting, vandalism, murder, rape, kidnapping, brandishing weapons, carrying weapons to the “terror of the public,” interfering with the police in the performance of their duties, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, defacement of public property, and anything else crafty lawyers at the DoJ can come up with. It won’t go down as a muzzle flash in the night at CHAZ. It’ll happen when the people go home, with the help of facial recognition, signals intelligence, news reports, and deep plant witnesses. Look for it over the next few months. Raz-a-daz will be in prison soon. Raz was even so stupid to livestream him trafficking in weapons, handing out rifles to people he didn’t even know. Not even the best lawyer can turn that video into “gifting” a firearm to a loved one. Thus, even the ATF will be involved in this affair.

You can go ahead and pile on top of this: arson, littering, illegal threats, battery, illegal possession of firearms (how many of these folks filled out form 4473?), and crossing state lines with criminal intent. This is a short list.

And don’t you know that the FedGov is fisking Raz’s business dealings at the moment, wondering how all of that money from Dubai got into his bank account.

That’s why only a handful were there to protest his actions to dismantle the mess.

Today, Barr said this.

Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department had “scores of indictments” filed against people who committed violence during a wave of protests across the country.

During Thursday’s episode of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s podcast, Verdict, which is co-hosted by conservative commentator Michael Knowles, Barr said his agency was using 35 joint terrorist task forces across the country to investigate criminal activity, which has taken place since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man.

“When the real violence started around May 25, 26, and so forth, we started using our joint terrorist task forces around the country. And there are 35 of them around the country,” Barr said.

“And now they are starting to go full bore, cranking out investigations, indictments against the people who are involved in this violence. So we’ve had scores of indictments already for such things as arson, destruction of federal property, things like that. And we have, right now, about 500 investigations underway,” he added.

The taxpayers and ratepayers will also bear some of the burden.  Or actually, all of it.

Just as I said.  These are the repercussions of that kind of behavior.  Most of these are children whose parents never spanked them and who never had a chance to grow up and become responsible.

PJM.

Woke mobs are coming for you if you are an elected official with conservative values. In cities and towns all across America, organized and well-funded protest groups have begun attacking city councilors, mayors, county commissioners, and members of school boards. It’s not just the big cities. Increasingly, small towns have faced similar harassment. The woke mob has targeted local elected officials for the sin of not being sufficiently woke. Its goal appears to be to intimidate conservatives from getting involved at any level of government. It also appears that the mob efforts are expanding faster than anyone realizes.

Here in Oregon, the small, rural, conservative-leaning towns of Estacada and Mollala have recently seen elected officials threatened with recall. In Oregon City, a medium-sized city south of Portland, a protest group has organized a recall against the mayor. The suburb of Gresham saw resignations from its mayor, city manager, and chief of police. And in Salem, the state’s capital, several school board members have been targeted for destruction.

This trend is growing and expanding and it appears to be the work of well-funded progressive groups on the local level with ties to large national non-profits pushing a radical agenda.

In Estacada, Mayor Sean Drinkwine was forced to apologize after he posted in a Facebook group, “I would not and have not condoned these BLM Vigils in our community. All city staff and I are working tirelessly to shut these Vigils down … Our number one concern is to keep our city safe and free from conflict.”

Disagreeing with the Marxist goals of BLM and opposing looting and violence will get you in trouble no matter how small your town is.

How ridiculous.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  No one “forced” the mayor to apologize.  He decided to do that all by himself.

For heaven’s sake, people.  Grow a spine.  Stand up to these people.  Thus far this is easy.  If you don’t think so, wait until the shooting starts, they take all of your possessions, and they make it clear they want to load you and your family on the train to the “reeducation center.”

Stand up now or suffer later.  It’s your choice.

News about the den of demons.

Former Vice President Joe Biden appears to have “personally raised the idea” of investigating Michael Flynn for potentially having violated the obscure Logan Act during his phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to newly filed court papers Wednesday.

The previously sealed document also says that former President Barack Obama told top members of his administration that “the right people” should investigate Flynn.

But then-FBI Director James Comey acknowledged during the meeting — which also involved Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and possibly national security adviser Susan Rice — that Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak “appear legit,” according to the Washington, DC, federal court filing by Flynn’s defense lawyers.

The revelations are contained in handwritten notes prepared by disgraced ex-FBI Agent Peter Strzok that Flynn’s lawyers called “stunning and exculpatory evidence” in the government’s since-abandoned case against President Trump’s former national security adviser.

A partially blacked-out copy of Strzok’s notes is attached to the filing and includes a mention that appears to say: “VP: ‘Logan Act.’”

“According to Strzok’s notes, it appears that Vice President Biden personally raised the idea of the Logan Act,” defense lawyers Jesse Binnall and Sidney Powell wrote.

”That became an admitted pretext to investigate General Flynn.”

The revelation contradicts Biden’s claim of total ignorance regarding the Flynn probe when he was vice president, which he was asked about during a May 12 interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

“I know nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” he said at the time.

But then, a conspiracy to subvert the constitution is nothing new with the Obama administration.  Virtually everything they did subverted the constitution.

And violated God’s laws.

The Atlantic.

As I have watched Confederate monuments being removed by state and local governments, and sometimes by the forceful will of the American people, the fact that 10 U.S. Army installations are named for Confederate officers has weighed on me. That number includes the Army’s largest base, one very special to many in uniform: Fort Bragg, in North Carolina. The highway sign for Bragg proclaims it home of the airborne and special operations forces. I had three assignments there during my career. Soldiers stationed at Bragg are rightly proud to serve in its elite units. Some call it “the Center of the Military Universe,” “the Mother Ship,” or even “Hallowed Ground.” But Braxton Bragg—the general for whom the base was named—served in the Confederate States Army.

The United States is now wrestling with repeated instances of abusive policing caught on camera, the legacies of systemic racism, the challenges of protecting freedoms enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights while thwarting criminals who seek to exploit lawful protests, and debates over symbols glorifying those who fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. The way we resolve these issues will define our national identity for this century and beyond. Yesterday afternoon, an Army spokesperson said that Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy is now “open to a bipartisan discussion” on renaming the bases. That’s the right call. Once the names of these bases are stripped of the obscuring power of tradition and folklore, renaming the installations becomes an easy, even obvious, decision.

I wonder if this has weighed on him as much as his decision to become an adulterer and be unfaithful to his wife, violating her trust, his own vows, and God’s laws?

I wonder if this has weighed on him as much as putting into place a set of rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq that killed and maimed American boys?

I wonder if this has weighed on him as much as his involvement in creating the completely bogus talking points about Benghazi, or leaving those American fighters there to perish without help?

I wonder if this has weighed on him as much as the violation of his oath to the constitution by advocating gun control?

I wonder if this has weighed on him as much as divulging classified information to Paula Broadwell?

Pardon me if I don’t give a rat’s ass what Petraeus wants to do concerning the names of military installations.

Via David Codrea, news from Kentucky.

Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, a libertarian-minded maverick who often clashes with GOP leaders, was renominated for a sixth House term. Trump savaged Massie in March as a “disaster for America” who should be ejected from the party after he forced lawmakers to return to Washington during a pandemic to vote on a huge economic relief package.

Here’s more.

Liz Cheney woke up with a lot of egg on her face this morning.

The Wyoming Republican and GOP establishment figure has long railed against Rep. Thomas Massie, and initially even backed his primary challenger, Todd McMurtry. However, Republican primary voters from Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District rebuked Cheney and reelected their libertarian-leaning congressman by an overwhelming margin in Tuesday’s primary. He secured a whopping 88% of the vote to McMurtry’s paltry 12%.

Massie, understandably, feels vindicated. “Tonight’s victory sends a strong message that Republican voters in the 4th District of Kentucky want someone to represent them in Washington who will consistently stand up on principle, defend life, and support the Constitution,” the congressman said.

In light of such an overwhelming electoral landslide in favor of a pro-liberty Republican and constitutional conservative, it’s worth rehashing the establishment’s campaign against Massie — if only to show how out of touch the swamp can be with the grassroots.

As an anti-interventionist stalwart and principled limited-government conservative, Massie has always been willing to vote against the establishment line. For example, Massie broke ranks with most Republicans to vote for a War Powers Resolution that reasserted Congress’s war powers and would have restricted the executive branch’s ability to launch unilateral military interventions. He voted against Paul Ryan for speaker of the House and has voted against so many establishment-backed spending packages and bills that he’s been dubbed “Mr. No” by the media.

The GOP establishment can’t stand legislators who aren’t afraid to buck the party line. They remind the GOP base of what it would look like if party leaders actually followed the principles they campaign on.

In particular, Massie angered Cheney, President Trump, and other Republicans when he demanded that Congress actually show up to vote on the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill. (You know, just like how they were asking all essential workers to show up to work). For this apparently egregious insistence that Congress actually does its job as the Constitution mandates, the establishment denounced Massie.

Even Trump blasted Massie, calling him a “third-rate grandstander” and tweeting a call to “Throw Massie out of Republican Party!”

Good.  Anything that throws egg in the face of the establishment is alright with me.  I’ve long supported Massie and called him one of the very few good men in Washington.

Absent cops, no politician can rob a single human of their liberty. Full stop. Until humankind owns that notion, every pursuit of liberty and freedom will be a forlorn hope. Now we’re even hearing the usual suspects in the deep state media talking about reducing or eliminating police departments (there are currently 19,000 of these Loyalist army units in America from the Federal to the local level). The Bluecoats today are the analog of the Redcoats riding roughshod over British colonials before the divorce proceeding from London started in earnest. The cops are the standing army the Anti-Federalists warned us about.

While I am encouraged by such sober thinking, the government supremacist on the left have failed to grasp that their fetid Sovietopian dreams need cops to be realized. No communist state can exist without two important ingredients: a robust police state and a very large segment of the subject population who are either unpaid or paid informants for the state. These two elements are intimately married to each other and no leviathan can exist absent these things.

The latter notion of an informant society is the glue that terraforms the building of homo Sovieticus. And make no mistake, the iron dream of every [national] socialist and communist is complete control of the physical and mental landscape of the serf populations.

If fear and obedience are the brick and mortar of the state, the informant and casual compliance with state codes may be the foundation of the steel house of the government plantation.

I have no need to choose between the dying liberal order and the Mango Emperor, as I have no need to choose between Lucifer and Baphomet. Both major parties in the US are mere complements of one another. One, the Democrats is nothing more than an asylum structure to house the Bolsheviks while the scolding and invertebrate Mensheviks of the Grand Old Politburo are embarrassed that the gibbering of the Democrats says out loud what they are thinking.

Both parties want nothing more than your chained obedience.

It’s supreme irony that the government supremacists in Antifa, BLM and their Democrat party sugar daddies are calling for defunding the police. The very entity that makes all government shitholes enforceable under their inhuman rule.

Ah, but as I’ve pointed out before, most of the sons and daughters of hippies became communists within a single generation.  Those who didn’t will pass into the night like the brownshirts in the equivalent of the Röhm Purge.

As for the true believers, they have a different end in mind.  While there are some very bad cops, and some bad cops who will cover for the very bad cops, there are still too many who won’t enforce gun confiscation orders, too many who won’t load men onto trains to be spirited off to camps.

To the believers, these cops have to go.  They don’t really want to rid themselves of cops, they want to be the cops just as Raz Simone and his band of thug bois want to rule six blocks of inner city Seattle.  This means forcing out the remaining non-compliant police, and replacing them with true believers.  For them, in order to change the cops, become a cop.

Defunding the existing infrastructure is just the first step in driving out the existing employees so they can be replaced.

It looks like the whole noose thing with driver Bubba Wallace is a hoax, or at best, a contrived misunderstanding.  The “nooses” are ends of ropes to open and close garage doors.  Look carefully at the pictures.

The FBI, who had a dramatic 15 “special agents” on the case, announced that nothing happened.  As stupid as NASCAR and the whole Wallace team must feel, and deservedly so, the real village idiot award goes to CNN and the Richard Petty team (the Petty team for ever making a big deal out of this, and CNN for printing this claptrap).

Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week …

Or what?  If anyone had known that Wallace had been assigned to garage number 4, what then?  Would you have removed ropes from the doors so they couldn’t be pulled up and down?

What an idiotic statement.

Ann Barnhardt observes, “EVERY NASCAR team went along with this slanderous calumny of their entire fan base.”  They did indeed.  I saw them do it, and I saw Wallace get out of his car crying, with Richard Petty giving him a hug.

Good Lord.  Gone are the days of fights between Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace.  He kid, there’s no crying in NASCAR.  At least not the real NASCAR.

Not that I watch it anyway.  As far as I’m concerned, just like pro football and every other pro sport, they can go bankrupt.

To the Antifa thugs running around destroying things, they want nothing less than a Bolshevik revolution.  Not so to many others in this concoction of miscreants.

“We cannot stop our demonstrations until our voices are heard and our demands for police reform are met. We must not stop until white supremacist policy and practices are no longer the order of today,” King’s daughter, the Rev. Bernice King, said. “We will not stop until voter suppression is a thing of the past. We will not stop until reparations set us on a path to be free at last.”

She’s not the only one in leadership in her community who’s said that.

Not to be outdone, another “leader” wants not just money, but a change to the way you think, or something like that.

Reparations, by Coates’ definition, is comprehensive. “What I’m talking about is more than recompense for past injustices — more than a handout, a payoff, hush money, or a reluctant bribe,” he wrote. “What I’m talking about is a national reckoning that would lead to spiritual renewal.” Ray told me much of the same — “it’s more than just a payout. It also includes an awakening and reconciliation that doesn’t just include black Americans. It includes white Americans.”

That awakening is the step on which America finds itself. The nationwide protests serve that purpose. But if that leads us to believe that racism is strictly interpersonal — that simply being kind and humane to each other will fix it — we’re missing the mark. Human dignity does not erase four centuries of oppression. Only comprehensive reform will do that.

Starting on a federal reparations plan that would level the playing field for descendants of slaves could take many forms. Ray and Perry suggest awarding them individual financial support, when needed, while attending college, purchasing a home or starting a business. Others, like David Brooks and Howard Rahtz, suggest strategic investments in black communities instead of individual payments.

As if all of that isn’t already done.

So plan for this: empty your bank account, prepare to become impoverished sending your children to college while others go for free, turn over your retirement accounts, and turn over your 401K to the FedGov.

That would be a start for your corporate sins.

Oh no, Raz, I think you’re just trying to Raz-a-daz people with this one, but I’m not going to let you get away with it.  It just doesn’t work this way.  You can’t blame others for this failure.

I’ve always hated it when pro-anarchy rock and roll groups sing about the destruction of everything, and then get on board airplanes to fly to the next concert, aircraft that were design by engineers and fueled by gasoline and flown by pilots; those pilots having to spend a lot of time and money to learn to fly, that gasoline having to be processed from crude oil, and those engineers having to spend quite literally the first 20 – 24 years of their lives learning to be an engineer, all mentored by engineers who have even more experience.

It’s an inconsistent world view.  It’s just as inconsistent as the notion of an autonomous region without your own water supply, medical resources, food, means of waste disposal, or governance (other than thugs who like to beat people up for disagreeing with them).

You see, for me to believe that you mean business, you need to create schools where young, smart kids can learn engineering, mechanics and CNC manufacturing, and make tools that can drill for water.  You need to grow your own corps of medical professionals in colleges that you start.  You need to have a viable means of disposal of your waste so that rats, coyotes and diseases don’t come into your area.

You have none of that.  I know, you’ve tried to deflect by saying “Not autonomous.”  But it’s too late for that now.

You called it “your currupt (sic) system.”  You take no ownership of it, you want to overturn it all.  Very well, if you want to use that system, the system from literally another country, then open negotiations through an embassy.  Promise protection, promise payment, learn patronage.  It all takes time, work, effort and humility.  In the mean time, treat your own medical cases.

I know this will be hard for you as a rape pornographer.  People have been shot in your autonomous zone, girls have been raped there.  It’s all rather a thuggish project to date.  So you’re going to have to grovel a little, you’re going to have to put down your guns, you’re going to have to stop attacking people.

So write me a note, Raz.  Let me know how all of this goes.  Let me know whether you’re able to swallow your pride a little, or if this continues to devolve into Lord of the Flies II.  Or perhaps this is all just a false flag run by the controllers.
