Never in my life could I have imagined that the United States would hold political prisoners in solitary confinement, in deplorable conditions, and stripped of their civil liberties. I grew up with tales of such unwarranted detentions in the USSR, and in South America. I met former government prisoners while living in Brazil. These types of extrajudicial tactics happen every day throughout the world. But in America? How is that possible?
It began on January 6, 2021. As live events unfolded at the
capitol, many immediately spotted the agitators among the peaceful protesters. Anyone
involved in protests of the 1960’s could easily recognize the culprits. ( Agent Provocateur ) Anyone
who had read the reporting on non-mainstream media knew there was great risk of
violence that day. Antifa, and others with an agenda to sow discourse, had
vowed to show up for the rally. And anyone with half a brain should have been
alarmed that there appeared to be little, if any, extra security that day.
Something was most certainly amiss.
The video available from January 6 clearly shows that the
majority who went into the capitol were not there to do any damage. They
carried nothing other than flags and banners. It is also evident that the ones
breaking windows and egging people on were instigators. And above all, the only
one who was killed that day inside the capitol was Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed veteran.
Arrests were made on January 6, but the majority came days
and months later. While the DOJ ramped up their efforts to track down anyone
who had been within a few miles of the capitol, they encouraged neighbors to
turn in their friends. Those are Soviet tactics, not American, yet people happily
complied.
In April of this year the government established the CEWG –
Countering Extremism Working Group. That should have sent chills up the spines
of every decent American. Suddenly, the most powerful arm of our government began
to hunt down “White Supremacists and Domestic Terrorists.”
Not Antifa, not Black Lives Matter, whose organizations were
responsible for over two billion dollars’ worth of destruction in 2020 alone. The
CEWG happily ignored those that beat up countless people, killed police
officers, looted entire city blocks, and burned down small businesses with impunity.
Instead, they have gone after people who walked into the
capitol, through open doors, and often escorted by police officers. These same citizens
are now being held in pre-trial detention, in horrid conditions, in a
deplorable jail in Washington DC, denied even the most basic of rights. None has
been charged with terrorism. Most charges are misdemeanors such as “parading”
in the capitol. Yet they are treated worse than gulag inmates.
That the majority of the American people do not seem to
realize, or care about, what is going on is distressing. There are
people reporting the truth and uncovering the lies about January 6. Darren Beattie at Revolver News, Julie Kelly at American Greatness, and Tucker Carlson are among them. Although I am not surprised
by anything they uncover, I appreciate all the work they are doing to document
the wrongs being perpetrated against American citizens, and their efforts to get the word out.
All that I have seen since the beginning, they have proved.
In contrast, the mainstream media and, apparently, the
majority in the Senate and House, do not seem to be bothered by the unconstitutionality
of charges being pursued against the Jan 6 defendants now rotting in jail. They
have fallen for the belief that if it is the Justice Department instituting
such measures, they must be right.
It is disturbing to hear the glowing terms now associated
with the FBI and the DOJ in their pursuit of all the supposed White
Supremacists and Domestic Terrorists. Nary a negative comment can be found.
Suddenly, these agencies are the most respected, trustworthy government
organizations in the United States, along with the CIA and NSA. If they say Domestic
Terrorism and White Supremacy constitute the greatest threat to
national security, we are to believe it at face value.
Could it be that the country is suffering from mass amnesia
and forgotten about the ill deeds perpetrated by said government organizations?
It is not as if any of this is ancient history. Not that long ago the
subversive activities of the FBI and CIA were common knowledge.
Even the name J. Edgar Hoover, still gives me the shivers.
The original track-the-public and keep-secret-files guy. Hoover, the first
director of the FBI, kept enough dirt on political opponents that they let him
get away with some really nasty stuff. Secret files on Martin Luther King Jr,
Mohammed Ali, and anyone else he did not agree with. Wiretaps on anyone he
chose to go after. Infiltration into left leaning groups, with or without any
real evidence, just to try and prove they were a threat. These were, and are, methods
and tactics one would associate with the KGB.
I won't go into what the CIA has engaged in overseas.
My writings are not loud enough to give the country a good
shake. All I can really do is thank those who are spreading the word and hope
that their exposure of the wrongs is enough to get our fellow Americans out of
their current hell.
And, by the way, I have assumed since the 60’s that my phone
is tapped, and so should everyone.
