Sure, send the crack UN troops with their pretty blue helmets into Appalachia to disarm the populace.

Is there a gif of Luke Skywalker yelling "This is not gonna go the way you think!" yet?

I think it’s an awesome idea and we should sell helmet cam video from the UN troops on pay per view with subtitles to translate them screaming “They’re in the trees!” in their native languages.

Heck, don't send 'em to Appalachia.  They'd have to climb all those hills.  Send 'em here to Michigan.  We'll entertain 'em. [popcorn]

I guess we can add this take from a former CIA guy. No mention, as per usual, of antifa or BLM.

Quote
Carroll lays out five steps, including having fire and police departments sign loyalty oaths, using the supremacy of federal law to ban “militias,” and adding domestic terrorism as a predicate to the material support for terrorism statute.

In general, if you have to force someone to sign (or take) a loyalty oath, then you can count on them to be disloyal when the chips are down.


I really hope all this chatter is social media amplifying the far left crazies for the sweet click income, and that the actual policy makers aren't quite this stupid.

If it was just Twitchy highlighting tweets it would just be a way toi get me worked up as I catch up on my news in the morning. Both of the above, however, were opinion pieces in MSM papers, including the one where "democracy dies in darkness".

While the first one might only happen if the squad starts running things, there are plenty of things in the second one that I believe would easily pass a vote in the current house and even senate. There are a bunch of establishment republicans that are looking for ways to go overboard regarding the capitol riots to show how "law and order" they are. Militias could easily become the bump stocks of 2020, with, again, antifa and BLM getting a free ride.

It does appear they (Democrats and Republicans) are gearing up to make a move against personal ownership of firearms in one fashion or another.

All the rhetoric and chest beating around domestic terrorism and insurrectionists is laying the foundation for government to do something.

A false flag murder of a politician(s) is probably next on the agenda. It doesn't even have to be a MKUltra wind up toy doing the killing. The insane levels of propaganda might just drive a weak normie over the edge where he lashes out. Most likely though it will be a planned event with a wind up toy.

It might be the killing of a RINO or a RINO and Democrat that gets it all spooled up. With a dead Republican, the stupid boomer fake conservatives will fall in line.

Et tu RNC?

They are just like Hollywood, they keep recycling the same script over and over again.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Maybe we can talk them into dealing with us the way Obama dealt with ISIS.   =D

Employment Restrictions and Loyalty Oaths

I saw this link.  Sounds like the issue is pretty murky and subject to interpretation from a legal standpoint.

Also, this almost bothers me more than the other stuff from the second link:

Quote
Third, do not worry about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Rather than ban extremist chatter through government censorship or private de-platforming, use radical chat rooms as honeypots, as FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces have done with violent, radicalized Islamists since 2001. We need to draw out those of our fellow citizens who are willing to attack our nation.

He doesn't even say "enemies". He actually says, "fellow citizens". Hooray for entrapment.  From his bio, he was previously Army, so he took not one, but two oaths to the Constitution. With oath takers like him, who needs enemies?

Hmmmm.   That seems to be mainly relating to government goons- - - er, employees.

Okay.  Not sure how that would translate to state and local employees like firefighters. 

Honestly, All of the things said look like an anarchist's stereotype of the tyrannical govt bureaucrat.  I have to wonder if they were really serious or just trolling.

Like maybe a couple of FBI agents getting capped today? I'm betting it'll be used for a gun control push.

And of course it was a child porn/trafficking bust that they died in so anyone who is against gun control can be slandered as a pedo sympathizer.

Well, considering how they are "chomping at the bit" to get Kamaltoe into the the Oval Office, that may be both more true than you realize AND closer to happening.
