At the close of Hannukah, and other things

4 Comments

After reading the comments on the last column, and different things I’ve listened to, or read the last couple of days, there is one more column left for Hannukah 2022. Again, I have no explanation, it’s just there and I’m sharing it. I promise, this is the last one (I’m pretty sure because this was the last day of Hannukah).

Before the actual battles of Hannukah, which attempted to eradicate the Jewish presence there was the spiritual battle to eradicate the Jewish presence. Not by killing the people, which came later, but by killing Judaism. I probably should have put a trigger warning on this column, so consider this it. Not the first time I’ve grabbed the 3rd rail.

This is where I think we are now. In the part where “The World” tries to eliminate religion, and this time it’s the presence of G-d. I would maintain the world has always tried to eliminate the Jews because they were the ones that were tasked with bringing the knowledge of G-d into the world. As people we have free choice, free will. We can choose to pick the things of pleasure and short term gratification in the world, or we can choose to follow the laws of G-d and his plan for a beautiful world. It’s like looking at architecture plans to me, I don’t read them so I can’t see how they work to make a beautiful building until much of it is in built and in place. But the plans were laid it out all along. Yes, that deck off the 2nd floor bed room sounds like a great idea and like lots of fun, especially when the hot tub was added in, but if the original plans didn’t account for it and the support for it wasn’t there in the plans, it won’t play out well. The same with how choosing what seems like a pleasurable choice at the time, may have consequences. Be it three pieces of fudge truffle cheesecake or a third beer or the junk Hollyweird puts out. But if only good is offered or available, how is that free will? Our fight with our more carnal desires allows us to sharpen our spiritual ones.

The battle today is “The World” against traditional families. A girlfriend and I were texting the other day and she made a comment of something her grandma used to say; as the family goes, so goes the country. I think it takes about 1 second to see that Hollyweird and mainstream media have had the traditional (according to G-d’s plan) family under attack for years. We’ve never had such gender confusion in our children, we’ve not seen women discriminated against openly for years until the trans-woman became far more important that stock from the factory woman. For evidence I only need point to the man swimming as a woman Lea Thomas because he’s such a loser he couldn’t succeed as man so he chose and easier way. When women have showed up to protest against things like men in women’s changing rooms they’ve been physically attacked by trans women. And apparently that’s fine because there is no outrage. But their fight isn’t with me, it’s with G-d.

I became suspicious of the sudden switch of the media from covid covid covid death death death vax vax vax to Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine very early on, because it was following the same pattern. As I’ve mentioned more than once, the citizens of the Donbas voted to rejoin Russia with darn good reason, more than once they’ve voted like that. And while “The World” and the U.S. media simper on about rigged elections I think the coverage of the faux elections in Arizona and the resulting lawsuits should pretty much stamped paid to any credibility to that claim. They could care less about the honesty of elections. The Donbas voted with paper ballots into clear cubes so people could see what was put in. I realize counting is a question, but monitors on the ground have said it was run better than U.S. elections. I know, that doesn’t take much these days. So is a first grade raffle. Run by the students. We’re coming back to this shortly.

And now Americans struggle to heat and eat and survive in the global warming ice freezer.

Bob F., I’m trying to just put quotes in italics instead of labeling them as quotes, maybe the font won’t go grey.

“A war with mother nature”: the winter storm which hits the United States recalls the “1977 blizzard”

For the moment 32 dead are to be deplored in 8 states and the authorities fear a heavier toll in the future.

Tens of thousands of Americans were without power this Christmas Eve weekend.

Rescuers fear that some may be trapped in their vehicle.

The Governor of New York State compared the climatic situation in which the country finds itself with that experienced during the devastating “Blizzard” of 1977. In her speech, Kathy Hochul called on her citizens to fight one more day against this cold mortal.

“We are at war.

It’s a war with mother nature,” insisted the Governor.

No, you stupid cow, it’s citizens being attacked by bad leftist policies. US Utilities Impose Blackouts, Issue Warnings Over Deep Freeze Power Grid Strain

A number of U.S. utility companies called on customers to conserve electricity due to frigid weather on Saturday and Sunday.

Con Edison, which serves the New York City metropolitan area, asked its 1.1 million natural gas, 3.5 million electric, and other customers in New York City to conserve power. Temperatures in the Big Apple plunged to about 15 degrees F overnight on Saturday and Sunday morning.

So, how are those windmills and solar panels from China that the Biden crime regime are trying to force us into working out? Oh, it says, 32 dead, so far. I’m truly fearful for working families, commuters, the elderly and people on fixed income. And obviously, don’t travel in bad weather without extra warm gear in the car.

People freezing to death in their cars. NEVER drive in places like this without trunk gear that includes serious wool from head to toe, and serious sleeping bags in the trunk. For every person we read about who died, a lot more will have lost body-parts to frostbite. Slowly freezing to death is one of the worst ways to go.

War with Mother Nature? I’ll pass. Live with Mother Nature — get 100% wool, and down sleeping bags if you can afford. The best warm-gear is still made by Mother Nature and cannot be mass produced so costs a little more, but is worth it.~~ Michael Yon

The other thing that I think is going to come into play as well as the frigid weather, and decreased fuel availability and purposefully damaged supply chain (Pete Butt-edge-edge’s racist highways are being destroyed along with his other policies) that will lead to a shortage of needed medicine, fuel and food, is people’s immune systems.

The more you’ve been injected, the weaker your immune system is. But that’s not the only threat our specie faces from this military project called the experimental gene therapy injections.

VAERS Shows a 4070% Increase in Miscarriages and Stillbirths Since mRNA Roll-out.

As the Greek-Syrian empire forbid the teaching of Judaism, circumcision and observance of Shabbat and festivals so it couldn’t be passed on to the children of the next generation, today’s Greek-Syrians are preventing children. Another way of winning the war without firing a shot, just injecting one. It’s “safe and effective”. Their lord and savior Fauxci says so.

Censorship goes way back

https://twitter.com/thechiefnerd/status/1607435870164123648

Which brings me to my next point. Religion. As we discussed in my last column, there are woke in every brand of religion, and we discussed Judaism’s. But Christianity has their woke pastors as well. Someone sent me a meme of a “Woke Pastor” costume for halloween with white skinny jeans, I think a gold chain and maybe some CDs and a Starbucks cup with a picture of some kind of goddess on the front. I don’t think I saved the meme though. In the war for Independence, it was the Black Robe regiment that helped win the war. This is well worth listening to at about 10 minutes long.

Many of our nation’s laws came from G-d’s law, and woke spiritual leaders of every brand ignore and dismiss that. How are they fit to lead and teach? Our rights come from G-d, the politicians are to follow the Constitution which enumerates them and is to protect them, it doesn’t bestow them. G-d did. How are there to be good, healthy and moral families when the spiritual leaders as well as elected ones let us down and in fact attempt to deceive?

So back to Ukraine and Russia. My heart hurts for the Ukrainian people. They have been betrayed in the deepest sense of the word by so many.

Ukraine has been a money laundering operation for demoncrats and corrupt republican politicians for years. The CIA arranged regime change in Ukraine under Barry Sotero, and the U.S. has bio-weapons labs there that are funded by taxpayer dollars while they most assuredly do not want taxpayers to know what is going on in them. Zelensky is locking up political opponents, shutting down news media critical of him, shutting down and banning churches and their leaders and seizing their properties and demoncrats and worthless republicans jump for joy and call this democracy. Tells you about their mindset. All done with out tax money no less. The politicians of all nations and brands are more than willing to fight to the last drop of Ukrainian blood.

I find I often get news that is pertinent from other countries rather than American sources, so these next couple of sound clips come from Israel.

First, Zelenksy doesn’t take this “war” seriously. Oh yes, he takes the money, seriously, he takes lots and lots of American taxpayer dollars shelled out by human pieces of excrement like the murder turtle, Roy Blunt and Jerry Moron. Money taxpayers won’t have to pay for heat, food, or fuel. Money we won’t be spending on our border, because we are spending in Ukraine. Money we don’t have to pay our National Guard soldiers, because we are giving it to Ukraine. This war time situation is so serious, that Zelensky did an episode of Letterman, in Ukraine. But I’ll let you listen to part of this episode of “Lighten Up”. I’m trying to start it at 18:50 seconds into the show. The relevant part only goes to about 23:30, so not that long. But worth listening to their take.

So, how’s Ukraine handling their war? And this is just till November of last year.

Chronicle of undeclared Ukrainian aggression against NATO.

1. March 2 – Ukrainian S-300 air defense system destroyed a Romanian MiG-21 fighter. The pilot is dead.

2. March 2 – Ukrainian air defense shot down a Romanian military transport helicopter Mi-8, which flew out to look for a MiG-21 fighter shot down by Ukraine.

3. March 3 – Estonian bulk carrier Helt was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine off the coast of Odessa. Four people are missing.

4. March 10 – Ukrainian UAV Tu-141 “Swift” attacked Zagreb. Luckily, no one died.

5. March 13 – Ukrainian Volkssturm shot down the car of an American journalist from the New York Times, Brent Reno, in the Irpen region, who, according to Iranian intelligence services, worked as a CIA officer in Iraq.

6. September 9 – a Romanian minesweeper was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine near Constanta. Luckily, there were no fatalities.

7. November 9 – A Turkish boat was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine off the coast of Turkey. Luckily, no one died.

8. November 15 – The Ukrainian S-300 air defense system attacked Poland, destroying 2 Polish citizens and a tractor trailer.

Under the guise of a war with Russia, Ukraine is waging a hybrid war against NATO!

Which bring us to my distrust of the attacks on Russia and Putin early on. For one, I’ve heard from more than one person that Putin has been decent (the comment good was used a couple of time) for the Jews. I have no personal knowledge, so that’s hearsay, but it’s hearsay from people that personally know. Human piece of excrement Lindsey Graham came flat out and said the war in Ukraine is about deposing Putin and regime change in Russia. No mention of what happens when someone else, and possibly less stable than Putin gains control of all those nukes.

You know, it’s fascinating. The Xiden regime is so worried about Israel electing what is suppose to be a right wing government. They’ve even tried to forbid certain Israeli politicians (whom I happen to like) from serving in the government. I guess they are afraid they might allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. Something which the courts have said is legal. The Xiden regime claims they are afraid Jews praying where the Holy Temple once stood, where G-d calls us to pray, will start a war. But the Xiden regime has no problem poking that big furry nuclear clad Russian bear directly by attacks on their pipeline or indirectly through their CIA puppet Zelensky.

But why? Why these attacks on Russia? Again, another Israeli podcast. This one covers some Hanukkah history you may (or not) have heard before, and of course it’s fascinating. But I especially think one of the comments made in the podcast have the answer to my question. It involves Christianity more than Judaism really, and Russia.

I’m trying to start this at 42:46 into the show.

This actually makes sense in a way to me. There has to be another reason other than “Putin bad”. Look, there’s lots of bad rulers out there. I’m sure many of them are supported by U.S. and put in place by the FIB and the CIA. But apparently, Russia is Christian, at least more so than many other nations. Is this what’s behind “The World” turning against Russia? We are in the spiritual battle of Hanukkah where the general shows up in Modi’in and demands they sacrifice an unclean animal on their alter. The spiritual battle before Mattias picks up his sword and says “Oh HELLinized NO”. The Judah battle came after.

REBEL! Fight back! Have strong, healthy loving families. Raise them with the principles of your faith, raise them to understand, not just recite strong conservative values. Think twice before you send them off to the communist creation centers known as college and university. Observe and love your family Shabbat/Sabbath. Pigpen, I have thought much about your comments on my last column. My idea of marriage was always a partnership. Someone with whom you had common goals, beliefs and principles, a moral compass if you will. Someone who picks up your weak points and you shore up theirs. Someone who can (though I’m sure it doesn’t always work out this way) be a safe port in the storm called life. Someone you want at your back. Your message was so beautiful, inspiring and clear. May G-d bless you and your family, even more. The dating advice my cousin gave me was “Pick someone you want at your back during the zombie apocalypse.” He said after seeing his wife at the range, he was convinced he had chosen well. Actually his advice isn’t far off or bad.

In these times, when we’ve been betrayed by so many institutions that should have had our backs, I just think about this meme I got this morning. A tip of my Stetson to Mike.

When the government says you don’t need a gun….

Y.B., you’re more than welcome, it is my honor and pleasure. Just know that there will never be enough words or emotion to express the gratitude I have for you and your family.

Voluntary Forfeiture Of Second Amendment Rights

4 Comments

Democrats have pushed yet another troubling gun control bill through the House Judiciary committee, setting it up for a floor vote. The bill is H.R.8361 – Preventing Suicide Through Voluntary Firearm Purchase Delay Act.

This proposed law would create a new NICS database of people prohibited from obtaining firearms. Not criminals, or those adjudicated mentally ill; it’s to be a database of those stupid enough to voluntarily surrender their 2A rights. OK, perhaps those crazy enough to beg Daddy Government to protect them from themselves should not have guns. But you won’t see me “volunteering” for this. More on that point in a moment.

First off, the bill’s name — Voluntary Firearm Purchase Delay — is an outright lie.

When an FFL makes the NICS call, and the feds find your name on this list, the dealer is not told to delay the purchase. There’s no waiting period. It’s an outright denial just as if you were a convicted felon; the dealer is to be told that it would be unlawful to transfer a gun to you. Which is probably exactly what the dealer is going to assume (and might even call the cops on you).

And it would be unlawful, because this bill amends 18 U.S. Code § 922(d) to add voluntary idiots to the list of prohibited persons.

Personally, if anyone had asked for my input — and persuaded me that any such law was necessary (ha!) — I’d have gone a different route: Instead of adding suckers to the prohibited list and issuing denials, the dealer would simply be told that the would-be buyer requested that he not be allowed to buy a gun. Then it would be up to the FFL to decide, with specific language exempting them from any liability for not violating the buyer’s 2A rights.

The next issue is how one would get into that database. There are two ways.

First, fools can present a gov-issued photo ID in person (“where” isn’t explained), and give up their rights.

Secondly, someone can email a copy of a driver license along with a letter from a mental health professional that includes the “name and license number of the professional and the name and date of birth of the individual.”

Maybe I’ve got a couple of ‘noids showing, but…

Who has a copy of your driver license? Did the bank make a copy when you opened your account? Did some online or brick store make a copy when you bought an age restricted product? Or maybe an employer (or potential employer) wanted a copy to comply with E-Verify. I’ve done all of the above.

Just imagine someone with a copy and a grudge… maybe against you, maybe the 2A in general. They’ve got your name and date of birth. But that darned mental health pro’s name and license number…

I did one single web search, taking less than 30 seconds, that gave me the name, address, and license number of a random clinical psychologist. Problem solved. Interesting what you can find online; it’s probably good that I try to be an honorable person.

Another interesting point: When you — or some less than honorable scumbag — requests that you become a prohibited person, you/him can include up to five email addresses to be notified if you do attempt to buy a gun, or try to get off the naughty list. Maybe even “registry@atf.gov.”

Getting off said naughty list sounds simple enough. You just make the request — with the same documentation that got you on it — and the feds are supposed to remove you.

Three weeks after they acknowledge receiving your request. Maybe that is the “delay” they meant.

Or you can look up a mental health pro as above, and fake the letter. That’s supposedly going to get you out of the database in 24 hours. Lemme bookmark that psychologist I found…

Frankly the only good not as horrible part of this is that database victims are only prohibited persons under 18 U.S. Code § 922(d), not section (g). So you won’t instantly make yourself (or someone else) a criminal simply for currently possessing firearms. Unless they tack on an amendment.

Now for the bad news. I think this garbage has a fair chance of passing. H.R.8361 had two original sponsors; one a rabid Dim-wit as you should have expected, and one Repugnantcan. As you also you should have expected. Reps tend to like infringements for “law ‘n order” and this is only “voluntary.” If the Dims can move this to the floor and force a vote this session, before the new Rep bare majority takes over, it’ll go to the Senate, where…

“law ‘n order” and this is only “voluntary.” I think they’ll get the votes.

And then what other rights will they look at “voluntarily” criminalizing?

Jericho and the Trumpets

I heard something just fascinating today on a radio show, I have a tiny suspicion that you might not hear much about it on the mainstream media #FakeNews.

Four brothers in Utah have filed a suit with the Supreme Court. Yes, that one. The case involves the 2020 election. They watched the 2020 election apparently with dismay, so many oddities. Then if I recall correctly Ted Cruz was presenting an argument on the Senate floor about forming a panel of 5 supreme court justices, 5 senators and 5 members of the house and taking 10 days to investigate. I heard somewhere that he was very persuasive and it was being considered when the “insurrection” stopped the debate and the issue died and #PenceOfCrap lied and said he was asked to overturn an election when what he was asked to do was the 10 days to investigate.

Well, apparently I’m not the only one that was angered that for the good of the country, we couldn’t even be given 10 days for an investigation.

Four Trumpet playing brothers from Utah, watched what happened and thought “Huh, all those elected officials that voted against an investigation just broke their oath of office. Well, that’s not cool”. Ok, maybe I paraphrased a bit there.

There are two lawsuits, one is held up in Nevada, but the other was labeled as a National Emergency enabling it to bypass the 10th Circuit court and go straight to the Supreme Court. Which it did. Then the suit was given a favorable ruling by the 10th Circuit as well.

So what is the suit about? Rule #11– Has an elected official defended the constitution as per the oath that they take? If questions about an election arise, then congress is required to set aside 10 days for congress to look into the situation and any irregularities. The SCOTUS clerk has called the brothers to say send the paperwork. The case is against the 385 members voted against the 10 day period, as well as Beijing Biden, Kamel-toe and #PenceOfCrap. For this violation of the law, the violation of the oath they took for their office, they can be removed from office, and that is the remedy the lawsuit is asking for. The affected members, did not file a response. The solicitor general of the US is now representing the oath breakers.

Can you imagine? Well, it’s trumpet players, maybe they could circle the crime scene known as Washington D.C. seven times and play their trumpets?

Jericho’s Wall Collapses (1273 BCE)

On the seventh day of the encirclement of Jericho (see Jewish History for the 22nd of Nissan), the Jews, accompanied by the Holy Ark, circled the city seven times. After the blowing of the shofar, the walls miraculously crashed and sank, leaving the city open and unprotected. Jericho was easily conquered, becoming the first fortified Canaanite city to fall to the Children of Israel in their conquest of the Promised Land.

Here’s their website. https://7discoveries.com/ You can buy a copy of the court papers for $1 each for the two case. For $30 you can get Raland J Brunson Writ Of Certiorari. I”m going to get at least a couple of the things off the site, I’m sure this stuff isn’t cheap to do.

Here’s a history of the suits with updates http://ralandbrunson.com/History/History.html

The SCOTUS conference is set for January 6th, 2023…rich irony much? Here’s the latest update.

The SCOTUS set the conference date for Jan 6, 2023

(The 9 Justices will meet January 6, 2023 to discuss the case and decide (by vote) if they want to move it to a hearing, where they will oficially judge the case and decide (by vote) if defendants should be removed from office)

Blow those trumpets brothers! Blow the trumpets and may G-d have mercy on U.S. and the wall of lies and deceit come tumbling down!

Truth Be Told

With Elon Musk breaking open the treasure trove of information that has been censored by the big tech companies at the behest of law enforcement and the FIB. Naw, I don’t really consider the FIB law enforcement anymore, do you? I mean seriously. Yes, I understand if you’re meeting your niece’s new boyfriend and she says “he’s in law enforcement” and you ask what he does and he says proudly “I’m a special agent with the FIB, I go through the garbage can at James Woods’ house!” that you can’t laugh out loud. But he’s not really law enforcement. Not like a decent Sheriff.

But let’s take a look at how different life might be if people had been told the truth about a few issues.

First up, the big kerfluffle going on now is #TwitterFiles.

It seems the children at the old Twitter, as opposed to the new and definitely improved Twitter, decided to make in kind campaign donations to the Biden crime family by censoring any story the DNC wanted censored. The FIB interfered in yet another federal election by “pre-bunking” the laptop from hell story as well. So the New York Post, the oldest newspaper in the U.S. and doing actual journalism, as opposed to the NY Slimes which is mostly notable now for a crossword puzzle and being a fine birdcage liner or puppy pads, had done a spectacular piece of journalism on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Not about the hookers, drugs or child sex issues but about the ways our country was going to be left vulnerable to foreign influence due to the activities of the whole Biden junta.

Apparently the government telling big tech what and who to censor since they can’t do it themselves, due to that pesky First Amendment, is a no no. Huh, who knew?

Elon Musk Goes Nuclear: ‘If This Isn’t a Violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, What Is?’

As documents released on Twitter appear to indicate that Twitter became a tool of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign, Elon Musk summed up his disgust with what was revealed.

On Friday, journalist Matt Taibbi shared a communication illustrating how complaints were received.

“One executive would write to another: ‘More to review from the Biden team.’ The reply would come back: ‘Handled,’” he posted on Twitter, leading Musk to reply.

“If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?” Musk wrote.

8. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.” pic.twitter.com/mnv0YZI4af

— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 2, 2022

If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022

And yet, the #TwitterFiles that have been release so far, have seemed to lack a certain amount of information. There seemed to be something missing some have said.

Oh, think the problem has been located and resolved.

Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals

Matt Taibbi, the journalist who first broke the news of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” revealed that the company’s top lawyer had “vetted” what information was shared without the knowledge of the new boss.

Musk announced on Tuesday that he had terminated Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”

And when asked by a Twitter user if Baker was able to explain himself, Musk replied “His explanation was …unconvincing.”

Happily Musk canned his sorry butt and had him escorted from the building.

Twitter files reveal familiar name in Hunter Biden laptop scandal: James Baker

As thousands of Twitter documents are released on the company’s infamous censorship program, much has been confirmed about the use of back channels by Biden and Democratic officials to silence critics on the social media platform. However, one familiar name immediately popped out in the first batch of documents released through journalist Matt Taibbi: James Baker. For many, James Baker is fast becoming the Kevin Bacon of the Russian collusion scandals.

Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank. When Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann wanted to plant the bizarre false claim of a secret communications channel between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Baker was his go-to, speed-dial contact. (Baker would later testify at Sussmann’s trial). Baker’s name also appeared prominently in controversies related to the other Russian-related FBI allegations against Trump. He was effectively forced out due to his role and reportedly found himself under criminal investigation. He became a defender of the Russian investigations despite findings of biased and even criminal conduct. He was also a frequent target of Donald Trump on social media, including Twitter. Baker responded with public criticism of Trump for his “false narratives.”

So, the corrupt James Baker, vetted/censored what Matt Taibbi was to receive in the information he was going to release to try to clean Twitter up from it’s history of partisan censorship. Rich isn’t it? The #TwitterFiles are being released to both Matt Taibbi and Barry Weiss to release to the public. Neither Taibbi or Weiss are exactly conservative or Donald Trump fans, but they are actual journalists. As opposed to say Chris Cuomo, or Don Lemon, or Rachel Maddow, or Brandy Zadrozny whom one of my favorite radio show hosts calls “The blonde bimbo fascist” for her political positions.

But as the sludge of the swamp is being released you can’t help but wonder since the election was decided by about 90,000 votes to have given the pubs a unified government. Would more people than voted for Barry Sotero still have flocked to the polls to vote for a man who had sold the country out to China and Ukraine have still done so? I mean, it does sort of explain why we’re sending millions of taxpayer dollars to a corrupt CIA installed puppet named Zelensky, right? It does explain why almost every decision made by Biden’s teleprompter and the junta benefits China. Would people have voted for that knowingly? We’ll never know because of people like James Baker.

Would people have felt differently if they’d know crusty Joe was lying when he said he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings? Joe Biden’s Involvement in Hunter Biden Dealings Exposed – Joe Met with Hunter Biden’s Business Associate AT LEAST 16 TIMES

A big part of what James Baker censored was the FIB’s role in the big tech censorship that may/did affect the elections.

FBI Coordination With Big Tech Censorship Ahead of 2020 Election Revealed in Agent Deposition, Missouri AG Says since it’s behind a paywall I’ll give you a snippet.

Officials from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security frequently met with major social media companies ahead of the 2020 election and pointed out users and pieces of content for removal, according to information from a deposition of a senior FBI agent revealed by a state attorney general.

“We found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech—from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns,” Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a series of tweets on Dec. 2, three days after deposing Special Agent Elvis Chan, who’s in charge of cyber affairs at the FBI San Francisco Field Office.

Chan has given major social media companies warnings that have led them to censor information about a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, shortly before the election that put Biden in office, according to a lawsuit against the Biden administration led by Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

Not content to merely influence American elections, Twitter expanded it’s horizons.

Elon Musk: It Is Likely Twitter Interfered in 2022 Brazilian Election

Elon Musk continues to drop bomb after bomb on the leftist company’s interference in Democratic elections.

On Saturday Elon Musk admitted Twitter likely interfered in the Brazilian presidential elections in favor of convicted felon and Socialist Lula de Silva.

This is BIG, BIG News!

I’ve seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election. If those tweets are accurate, it’s possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022

The difference is, in Brazil they know the machines rigged the elections and are still out in the streets and I believe the military is going to override the corrupt, left-wing supreme court that let a man out of jail and cleared his crime so he could run for office. In the Brazilian constitution there is a part that allows the military to do that. The people are probably watching America circle the drain in less than two years of a corrupt stolen election and saying “Oh HELL NO” to that option. Thus, they are still protesting by the millions. Not that the corrupt mainstream media aka #FakeNews is covering it.

What other elections did Twitter interfere in? How’s about Arizona? Yep, Katie Hobbs who campaigned with all the vigor of the ancient Joe Biden from her basement had access to special Twitter friends to take down tweets at her request. Almost like she knew she didn’t need to campaign isn’t it? Eh wot?

PROOF: Crooked Secretary of State Katie Hobbs Had Twitter Silence Her Critics in Arizona – Prior to Gubernatorial Run – Data From MO vs. Biden

Now we know why crooked Katie Hobbs didn’t want to debate Kari Lake?

Why would she when she ran the election, oversaw 30% of election day precinct machines breaking down, had the media in her pocket, and was working with social media platforms to silence her critics!

This is likely criminal activity – especially if she silenced her critics during her gubernatorial run which is likely!

And soon we will hear about how over 70,000 fraudulent ballots were sent out before election day!

What else did Twitter censor? How about documented cases of armed self-defense? The Zelman Partisans and Bear and I both got locked out of Twitter when things supportive of Kyle Rittenhouse were posted on Twitter. Ah, effin’ Twitter and Amnesty? Eff You, Musk.

Apparently young Kyle is curious about such things. Kyle Rittenhouse goes viral after asking if Twitter files will reveal ‘hidden censoring’ against him I believe I’ll enlighten him to the extent I know.

Anything else “life and death” that Twitter suppressed? OH YEA! How many poor souls are on their way to a life of pain, or a shorter life, or a lost life, or a destroyed life because they were denied information about the “safe and effective vaccine” that is neither safe, effective or a vaccine?

Found Dead at Home After COVID-19 Vaccination

The public is becoming increasingly disturbed with reports of death among the vaccinated. It is natural to ask “was the death caused by vaccination?” The most definitive way of answering that question is with autopsy.

Schwab et al reported on deaths after vaccination with detailed autopsies in Heidelberg, Germany.[i] Of 35 fatalities within 20 days of injection, 10 were ruled out as clearly not due to the vaccine (eg drug overdose). The remaining 25 (71%) had final diagnoses consistent with a vaccine injury syndrome including myocardial infarction, worsening heart failure, vascular aneurysm, pulmonary embolism, fatal stroke, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Interestingly, 5 cases had acute myocarditis as the cause of death with the histopathology in the heart muscle showing patchy inflammation very similar to what was seen in the deltoid muscle were the mRNA vaccine was injected.

Suppressing Repurposed Drugs ‘Cost Millions of Lives’: Founder of COVID Treatment Fund

The executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, Steve Kirsch, has been working to make early COVID drug treatments available to the public, despite being assailed by the medical establishment for speaking out about the dangers of the COVID vaccines.

During the pandemic, he founded the COVID-19 Treatment Fund to raise money to test repurposed drugs for use in treating COVID, while health agencies were dismissing their effectiveness and urging the public to get vaccinated as the only way to prevent severe illness and hospitalization.

Not allowing the testing and use of repurposed drugs has cost too many lives said, Kirsch.

“This has cost millions of lives,” and the problem was compounded by a hospital COVID treatment protocol “that was almost certain to kill you,” Kirsch said during a recent interview on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program.

He said the COVID protocols hospitals have followed, although sanctioned by the federal health agencies, added to the death toll.

Twitter’s First Transparency Reports Are Here and They’re Eye-Opening

Twitter has published its first set of transparency reports about how the site had operated prior to multi-billionaire Elon Musk taking over the company. Among the reports, the social media giant states they are no longer enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information policy.”

Musk had promised the release of the transparency reports, saying it is necessary to regain the trust of the public.

The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 28, 2022

Since January 2020, over 11 million accounts were challenged for violating the COVID-19 information policy, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content were removed

Twitter Stops Enforcing COVID-19 ‘Misleading Information’ Policy

Twitter has stopped enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information” policy that had resulted in nearly 100,000 pieces of content being cut from the platform and led to more than 11,000 account suspensions.

The social media giant, which was taken over by industrialist Elon Musk at the end of October, said in a report that, effective Nov. 23, Twitter is “no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.”

The report included information about Twitter’s enforcement actions related to its COVID-19 content policies. Between January 2020 and September 2022, there were 11.72 million accounts challenged, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content removed.

The policy, which was introduced to curb the spread of “harmful misinformation” related to COVID-19, was praised by some, including U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who in an advisory (pdf) on “building a healthy information environment” cited Twitter’s rules as a model for companies to fight misinformation.

But heavy-handed enforcement of the policy garnered criticism, such as when earlier this year Twitter flagged numerous tweets with factual information about COVID-19 as misinformation and suspended accounts of scientists and doctors.

Probably good that people took lots of screen shots, perhaps they knew the time would come when the government lies would need to be documented. Even as some of the tyrants are calling for amnesty, those who also committed wrong doing are trying to re-write their shameful history.

FDA Trying to Rewrite COVID History on Prohibiting Ivermectin, Dr. Atlas Says

Boyden Gray & Associates filed a lawsuit in June on behalf of three doctors who allege that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) illegally interfered with their doctor–patient relationships, resulting in harm. They also claim that the FDA broke the law when the agency issued statements prohibiting the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

In response to the lawsuit, lawyers for the FDA claimed that its guidance for people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation; as such, they weren’t mandating against it.

However, in an interview that aired on NTD’s “Newsmakers” on Nov. 23, Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow in health care policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, confirmed that the FDA did, indeed, take an “unprecedented” approach against ivermectin and said that their defense amounts to the FDA trying to rewrite COVID-19 history.

Know what that reminds me of?

The clip is a tad longer than what I started it at. About 3 ½ minutes total, I’m starting it part way in.

No forgetting, we see you for what you are and aren’t.

There is a whole host of damaging and fatal side effects, and the information has been censored on Twitter, FakeBook and YouTube. The following are short videos from Rumble.

And I would guess all this information, and all these people have been censored from Twitter, YouTube and FakeBook.

But you know who is very curious about all this censorship? Missouri and Louisiana’s Attorney Generals. They’ve had the demented troll aka Fauxci on the stand for over seven hours. Well over 174 times the greedy, power hungry demented troll stated “He couldn’t remember”. Lots of things he couldn’t remember.

When asked to provide a mask study that justifies the chronic hypercarbia he has inflicted on U.S. he can’t. There are many stating the risk and harm, but the demon that inflicted this on U.S. can’t name a one that says they work or are indicated. We also found out the lockdowns came from one man, Clifford Lane. A deputy Fauxci sent to China to see how his buddies were handling WuFlu. Lane came back with a report given to him by China saying the lock downs work. In awe of the power and control over the people, Fauxci couldn’t wait to implement them here. No studies, no nothing. Just taking the word of a Chinese dictator. If you want to read the whole transcript. Here ya go. https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/135885afauci112322_full_redacted.pdf?sfvrsn=35f4a425_2

Guess some of that information censored on the Hunter Biden laptop from hell would explain why the U.S. squashed the peace agreement Russia and Ukraine had worked out, huh? Ukraine is too good a money laundering operation for the demoncrats and corrupt republicans. Not to mention, they’ve paid the Biden crime family a LOT of money to look after their interests. Lloyd Austin (is he still on the board of Raytheon?) said the quiet part out loud, they want to use Ukraine to weaken Russia. The country who isn’t attacking churches like Zelensky is. Because you know, democracy always involves attacking religious institutions, right?

We Are Using Ukraine To Do WHAT?!

But if you think the government is only using private business to attack the First Amendment, you would be wrong.

FedEx and UPS Help Feds Track Gun Sales, State Attorneys General Say

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, together with 17 other state attorneys general, are asking shipping companies UPS and FedEx to explain their newly implemented policies to track and record Americans’ firearms purchases and disclose whether these policies have been coordinated with the Biden administration.

In letters sent on Nov. 29 to FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam and UPS CEO Carol B. Tomé, Knudsen and his co-signers wrote that the shipping companies’ policies “allow your company to track firearm sales with unprecedented specificity and bypass warrant requirements to share that information with federal agencies.”

“What both of these companies are saying is that they’re doing this so they can better cooperate with law enforcement,” Knudsen told The Epoch Times. “That’s all fine and well, until you find out that that’s a violation of federal law.”

I am convinced one of the most important positions in government has become these state Attorney Generals.

Is Elon Musk a good guy or a bad guy? I dunno. But he understand freedom of information and speech are essential to the survival of his adopted homeland. Something I wish more people understood. I’m pretty sure I can think of more than a few people that still think the jab is a great idea and are looking forward to their every other month booster jab. Never mind each one weakens the natural immune system. If Rachel Maddow, Joy Behar or, well, who’s left on CNN? Anderson Cooper? If one of them didn’t tell them, then it’s not true. They’d bet their life on it.

I think Elon is on the right track here. The White House spokes-clown just called the #TwitterFiles a distraction, the televised DNC propaganda crew called news casters are all ignoring it like it’s not happening and the DNC propaganda crew called talk show hosts are all busy trying to explain why it’s a bad thing people are getting honest information and corruption is being exposed. Yep, to the left, that’s a bad thing. So, if all those people have their panties in a twist, this is a very good thing indeed. Prayers for Elon’s safety.

And That’s The Way It’s Done

With so much bad news assailing our beloved country, I thought I’d share just a few little stories about groups fighting back against injustice. Either their beloved children being indoctrinated or their country or state being stolen from them and then the gaslighting that follows from a corrupt establishment with the cooperation it’s willing accomplice the mainstream media, aka #FakeNews.

I’ll start with the school first.

New Conservative School Board Members Fire Superintendent, Ban Critical Race Theory at First Meeting

A group of parents who ran for a school board acted at once to fulfill their campaign promises. As soon as the new majority was sworn in to take their place on the Berkeley County School District in South Carolina, they moved.

Within the first two hours of their first meeting upon being sworn in, the board fired school superintendent Deon Jackson, dumped district in-house counsel Tiffany Richardson, banned any part of the CRT curriculum they could find, and launched a committee to evaluate whether certain books in district libraries were age-appropriate, NBC News reported.

Sha-ZAM!

Berlin state elections declared void. Nope, not Berlin somewhere in the U.S. In Germany, country of precision, right?

Berlin’s highest court has ordered new elections in the German capital, declaring that chaos in the 2021 vote violated election law. The Berlin mayor faces a neck-and-neck race to keep her office.

Germany’s constitutional court ruled on Wednesday that the state of Berlin would have to re-run its elections next year, after deciding that organizational chaos reported at hundreds of polling stations around the city last September made the vote invalid. The Berlin election will now have to be repeated within 90 days.

Presiding Judge Ludgera Selting said the decision had to be taken because of the “frequency and gravity” of the mistakes that had been made, which were so widespread that they may have altered the election result. Selting also spoke of “serious systemic flaws” in the preparation of the election.

Sha-ZAM!

And finally to something that does affect all of U.S. Arizona AG Launches Investigation Into Maricopa County ‘Election Irregularities’

AG Mark Brnovich’s election integrity unit has demanded a full report of well-publicized irregularities, and what he claims is evidence of “statutory violations.”

The letter, sent late Saturday by Assistant AG Jennifer Wright to the county’s top civil division attorney, Thomas Liddy, is a major escalation over widespread problems with voting tabulators and printers, which delayed the declaration of a winner in razor-thin races in the attorney general’s race and the gubernatorial race.

Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has questioned the media’s premature declaration that her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs – who wasn’t exactly popular, won.

The letter demands a full report on how voting machine and printer issues were handled, along with a copy of each polling location’s Official Ballot Report, as well as explanations for any discrepancies.

The whole letter is embedded in the article if you want to read it.

Sha-ZAM!

Perhaps another column will have more on both Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell taking money from FTX that they used to defeat or attempt to de-rail and smear true conservative candidates.

Kevin McCarthy Used FTX Funding to Sway GOP Primaries and Take Out MAGA Favorite Madison Cawthorn

Dirty Mitch Was on the Take… McConnell Received $2.5 Million from Crypto Laundromat FTX for His Senate Leadership Fund

And lastly, a very inspiring one from Brazil who faced the level of voter fraud and machine “malfunction” we did. Only no matter what the Brazilian Maddows, Cuomos, Blitzers and The View attempt to tell the people, they know crap when the see it. They know their election was stolen. Who votes for a communist that recently got out of prison? Besides which President Bolsonaro is very popular. They’ve seen the damage in less than two years an illegally installed puppet can do to a country and they aren’t having it.

Brazilians Fight Back: Millions Flood the Streets to Protest Voter Fraud, Bolsonaro’s Party Calls to Annul Corrupt Election

Brazil does not want to suffer the same fate as Venezuela, where the Communist-infested Supreme Court paved the way for Hugo Chavez to gain power.

The party of Brazillian President Jair Bolsonaro and his conservative Partido Liberal (PL) party have formally requested an annulment of the October 30th presidential election result. The move comes after “two audits of the electronic voting machines” showed they changed some voting percentages. Meanwhile, Brazil’s people have risen against the alleged voter fraud, with millions flooding the streets in protest. However, the corrupted Supreme Court is taking extreme measures to silence its citizens.

Brazilians Fight Back! Protests Over Stolen Election Grow As Millions Take To The Streets…Leftist Supreme Court Authorizes Seizing Accounts

Farmers and truckers have joined the fight in Brazil to protest the stolen elections. Like the trucker protests in the US and Canada, reports say Brazilian truckers are honking horns and blocking highways as they join election protests that began at the end of October.

Truckers in Brazil are freedom-loving patriots protesting the attempt by CCP-owned communist and embezzler Lula da Silva to steal the presidency from President Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is well-loved by the Brazilians and called for the protest to be carried out peacefully and lawfully. He also was a massive supporter of the trucking industry and found ways to keep diesel costs low.

They aren’t having it.

Sha-ZAM!

Intrepid reporter Ben Bergquam caught up with Jair Bolsonaro’s son Eduardo Bolsonaro, the later part is in English.

So there’s just a bit of good news to start out your week, because sometimes you need a bit of nice.

Amnesty?

7 Comments

A woman named Emily Oster has written an article for The Atlantic, Let’s Declare A Pandemic Amnesty. In it she takes the approach of well, we didn’t know any better, ya know.

Mistakes were made on BOTH sides?

Um, no.

A very popular Halloween costume this year, perhaps

The demented troll
The CDC, FDA, HHS, etc.

Information, information has become like gold if it’s honest. And if it’s coming from a government source, almost any government source, except perhaps someone like Kari Lake or Eric Schmitt who are both candidates, or Ron DeSantis or Dr. Joseph Lapado could perhaps be giving honest info. Beyond that, I’d look to doctors who have openly been trying to save lives like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Christina Parks, the late Dr. Zev Zelenko has a foundation that is active, Dr. Simon Goddek, Dr. Henry Ealy, Dr. Simone Gold (who went to jail for speaking out) Dr. Peter McCullough is now being stripped of some of his certifications. Medicine is a captured agency, just like the federal law enforcement agencies. No word on the Texas Rangers yet.

Without solid information, how are people suppose to make wise decisions? For example, did anyone notice around the time the Ukraine boondoggle started, RT and other Russian sources of news were blacked out, except for some places like Rumble or GAB? And recently Macaroon of France informed Rumble they needed to block RT news or they were in big trouble with France! Rumble said fine, France is now cut off from Rumble. This is very important because YouTube is censoring more aggressively than ever.

Big Tech working for Big Pharma and Govt.

There are two foreign countries right now that the Biden crime junta is interfering in their sovereignty, or trying to. But I’m not sure the Biden teleprompter programmers are going to outwit Vlad, and hopefully not the people of Brazil. Perhaps it’s worth mentioning, Israel also held elections, but in Israel the conservative side won. Unlike Brazil, Israel uses paper ballots and hand counts them, unlike Brazil. They like America, use the fraud machines. They also vote in one day, like France, for example.

For some reason, there are forces really really determined to keep Russian news from reaching regular people in the west, but lies? Oh we have those aplenty.

MASSIVE ANTI-RUSSIAN ‘BOT ARMY’ EXPOSED BY AUSTRALIAN RESEARCHERS

A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that as many as 80 percent of tweets about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion in its early weeks were part of a covert propaganda campaign originating from automated fake ‘bot’ accounts.

An anti-Russia propaganda campaign originating from a ‘bot army’ of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the internet at the start of the war. The research shows of the more than 5-million tweets studied, 90.2 percent of all tweets (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were pro-Ukraine, with fewer than 7 percent of the accounts being classed as pro-Russian.

The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable ‘angst’ in the online discourse.

Then take the elections in Brazil. Jair Bolsonaro is all that stood between China’s control of South America. The rest of South America has already fallen. I haven’t figured out why, but the people running Bejing Biden’s teleprompter decided to interfere in the Brazilian elections, a few months ago. Apparently the CIA, taxpayer funded, decided to go to Brazil, eat some ice cream and threaten the wildly popular President Bolsonaro that he must accept the election results without question. Two months ago. Reminds me of when the Demoncrats installed Morsi in Egypt, Zelensky in Ukraine and now they’re trying to install DeSilva in Brazil. In none of those countries did the CIA installed puppet do good things for the people. Biden Issues Fatwa Justifying The Crushing Of His Political Opposition – What Comes Next?

Tucker gives a good run down

You know who doesn’t believe the election result? Brazilians.

DHS Censorship Lead Believes Big Tech Has ‘Moral Obligation’ To Suppress Populism, Advised Group Working With DNC To Censor Conservatives.

Yes, and besides censoring us, they spy on us.

So, besides censoring with the help of big tech, the selection in Brazil, not to be confused with an actual election, what information has been withheld from people? The life altering kind. A short run down, of many aspects of what Fauxci, Walensky, the FDA, CDC and HHS have hidden or lied about as their willing shills the talking heads parroted it.

Remdesiver is killing people. The failed Ebola drug that had to be removed from the study because it was killing too many people. Manufactured by Gilead Sciences, for whom Fauxci gives speeches. He probably does that for free though, right? Nurses will lie about this one too, like the one that insisted on trying to lie to me and tell me it is safe when I expressly told the hospital not to use it on my Mom and they did anyway.

Masks, the masks that tortured children, set back their learning and adapting to society. Harmed adults or anyone with breathing problems and have set people up for developing cancers down the road due to chronic hypercarbia.

Fibrous blood clots How about those amazing blood clots morticians and pathologists are pulling out of people? Never seen anything like it they say. Or the blood that looks like it has coffee grounds in it. That article has some pictures of a selection of the fibrous blood clots.

‘Died Suddenly News’ Group Removed from Facebook This was a huge support group on Fakebook, and of course, Zuckerbucks had to get rid of it.

Dr. Ryan Cole can explain the mechanism of some of that “SADS” Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. It’s not shocking. Pfizer knew it was a risk.

Mild??

Do you think if they’d known, if they’d really known the risks, would they have taken the experimental gene therapy shot re-labeled as a vaccine to get around the testing requirements?

Would they have chosen to force if on their elderly relatives (unless they were looking for an inheritance) knowing it lowers their immune responses?

Would they have chosen to alter their G-d given DNA knowing it can not be restored?

False and Deceptive, FOIA Records Reveal CDC Is Trying to Hide Important Data on Vaccine Safety

Children Suddenly Dying – ‘It’s Through The Roof’ – Dr. Peter McCullough

The “Effective” part of “Safe and Effective” Virus Hits 7:1 Vaxxed Over Unvaxxed

And this is by no means an exhaustive list.

I have nothing but sympathy for those that were forced into the experimental injections against their will. What a horrible choice, and I would hope they have a nice lawsuit coming. To be forced into a medical experiment with the coercion of loss of your job when you have a family to feed is not informed consent. Nor is being forced into it to go to family dinners, but probably few will sue family, and you don’t really have to go, not like you have to work to pay bills. My humble thoughts are, if they are going to treat you like that, do you really want to be around them? But I’m probably not a good person to ask.

Shilling for vaccine? But for people like this? The ones that lied, the ones that vax shamed, the ones that threatened and coerced? The doctors and nurses that have totally abandoned their Hippocratic oath, mistaking it for a hypocrite oath? Yeah… no. For you I have another answer, we shall get to it in just a moment.

Covid has been the most effective tool in bringing about the “Great Reset” as advertised on all major news media outlets as a wonderful thing, they just don’t tell you that’s why they’re pushing you to eat bugs now and shame farmers for using fertilizer, and regulate us into famine. People willingly torture their own children, swim in the fresh air and sunshine wearing a mask and react with anything from nervousness to hysteria when they see someone without a mask. Still. Families are torn apart, work relationships strained, I’ve heard nurses I work with say they don’t think the un-injected are entitled to medical care. I despise them and will never think of them in the same way. The massive amount of othering and ostracizing of people is far to reminiscent of pre-WWII Germany. It must have been lurking below the surface, but this brought it out. The flat out lies, Cuomo using a picture of a wedding in 2014 to single out the Jewish community for having a wedding should have been a big red flag as he lectured and threatened. The businesses ruined, the livelihoods lost, all of this putting increased pressure on the dwindling middle class. The censorship encouraged by the Demoncrats and willingly carried out by almost every social media platform, Twitter, Fakebook, YouTube, Google arranging their search algorithm to bury information they didn’t want you to find, and about anything else big, as well as almost every mainstream media source, all guilty. All guilty and have blood on their hands because they deprived people of information they needed to make a reasoned choice. And this is viewed as acceptable now by the left, they call it “stopping disinformation” You serf, are not to be allowed information, because information is power and we have it and you don’t and won’t.

There is an election on Tuesday. Never forget that the worst offenders of this atrocity and mass murder scheme have been Demoncrats and their financial enablers. Even politicians that you thought were “moderate” demoncrats aren’t. Manchin tore the mask off that one. He made a deal with the Biden crime junta and signed onto the new green deal selling out his constituents. And where did that get him? Screwed, probably didn’t even buy him dinner first. But, it’s too late Manchin and I hope you’re gone next round of elections.

Manchin Unleashes on Biden Over ‘Disgusting’ Pledge to End Coal

Manchin Demands Public Apology From Biden Over ‘Outrageous’ Coal Comments

Demand and unleash all you want Manchin, too late now, you sold out America and the Biden Crime junta doesn’t respect you in the morning and truth be told, they didn’t respect you before they did it.

So when voting, in my usually humble opinion, don’t vote for ANYthing, ANYthing with a D after it’s name. Of course there are bad Republicans, absolutely nutless wonders! Look at the corrupt Mitch McConnell and whussy Kevin McCarthy. Then there are Mitt Romney, Lisa Mukowski, Susan Collins, Lindsay Graham, and at least Roy Blunt is going to be gone. Guess he’s got a sweet lobbying gig lined up now probably. But here’s the thing, like with Manchin, if they are a demoncrat, they have to tow the party line. And that can put all kinds of pressure on them. There is nothing, nothing good in the Demoncrats plans for America. They think they have us, U.S. finished off, and maybe they do, it’s all in G-d’s hands. But even when G-d fought battles for us, we were at least required to show up and march and blow horns, or scale walls with one sword and our armor bearer. We had to suit up and show up and do our part. If you have to vote for a crappy less than stellar Republican, their party can put pressure on them too. And what a fabulous party it will be with some more MTGs, Lauren Boberts, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley and the hopefully incoming Eric Schmitt, Herschel Walker and others. They have grit, guts and determination and best of all they love this country. With governors like Kari Lake, Ron DeSantis, Tudor Dixon, Doug Mastriano, and Lee Zeldin we could see our country survive. But that too is in G-d’s hands. Think of the pressure they would put on a Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins or Roy Blunt, I bet Old corrupt Mitch would be out of leadership as he should be.

My prayer is that people continue to wake up, and see what is happening.

To answer the question, can we just forget and let bygones be bygones?

Then and Now

A girl friend and I were talking the other day. Her Mom was medically mismanaged as well, resulting in her death. She and her brother had debated on if a lawsuit should be brought or not. I said there has to be retribution of some kind. If there is no retribution they have gotten away with it and most certainly are going to do it again. And there are plenty of signs they are already planning to do so. So, my promised solutions to the modern day Dr. Josef Mengeles out there. There have been solutions proposed.

Amnesty 3000

But me? Me, I’m kind of an old fashioned girl at heart. I figure once precedent has been set probably ought to go with it. No reason to re-invent the wheel, eh what?

The prototype?

Julius Striecher, the media mogul who lied and helped enable the Holocaust

Just following orders?

A radio show I really enjoy is Temple Talk out of Israel. In last weeks Parsha, Noach, at the end of the podcast Yitzhak Ruven was talking about how Noach didn’t really try to warn the people so much of the impending doom. He just kept building his ark. But then Yitzhak said, maybe he did, maybe he did try and people just blew him off with “You’re crazy old man, you don’t know what you’re talking about”. Probably thought Noach was some kind of conspiracy nut. And all of a sudden I had a great sympathy and understanding of Noach for all the people that had tried to warn there was something off about the shot.

Kristallnacht is November 9-10. Ignoring signs is so very dangerous. Imagine, people trapped in their home, their businesses boycotted and failing, not allowed to go get food, hungry families, stuffed into Covid quarantine camps ghettos. There must be a reckoning.

Vote.

I started this column and thought I’d have it finished on the 5th of November, Guy Fawkes day. If you replace the word Catholic in this article with Conservative, well. Guy Fawkes Day: A Brief History and if you’ve ever seen the movie V for Vendetta, this little film clip comes from that movie. This would be the start of an actual insurrection. You know, like Madonna talked about when President Trump was elected and she said she wanted to blow up the White House. How long has she been in the D.C. gulag now?

If Only Missouri Had a Red Flag Law

1 Comment

The Saint Louis school shooting could have been prevented. Or so the Post-Dispatch would have us believe.

Police responded to Harris’ home on Oct. 15 after his mother found a gun, the same used in Monday’s attack, in the house and wanted it removed. Police said Thursday they did not have the authority to take the gun because Missouri does not have a red flag law.

Sounds bad, eh? But let’s back up to the beginning of the Post-Dispatch propaganda piece.

The man accused of killing a teacher and teen earlier this week in a south St. Louis school shooting bought the AR-15-style gun from a private seller after an FBI background check blocked his attempted purchase from a licensed dealer in St. Charles.

Let’s take that claim at face value for a moment. The perp’s attempted purchase was denied because he was a prohibited person. And the P-D suggests that it was because he’d been involuntarily committed. Maybe.

Police said Wednesday that Harris’ family was increasingly worried about his mental state in the weeks leading up to the attack and at one point had him “committed.” Involuntary commitment to a mental health institution is one of the triggers that can block the purchase of firearms at licensed dealers.

Note the bait and switch. His family had him “committed.” Then the “reporters switch to a — misleading — explanation on of involuntary committal, which requires adjudication — yes, by a judge — of mental deficiency; that would/should make the perp a prohibited person, and his gun store attempt would/should have been denied, and described.

But he then apparently went to a private party and bought his rifle in a private sale not subject to a background check.

But now we’re back to his family discovering that he had the firearm and calling the police. The police whose hands were tied by the lack of a red flag confiscation law.

Full stop.

If the perp was a prohibited person, not red flag law was needed to seize the firearm and arrest the prohibited person in unlawful possession of a firearm under Missouri statute 571.030; that is a crime.

Instead, a third person — sometimes described as “known to the family” or a “family member,” depending on the media outlet — took possession of the firearm.

And then for some starnge reason seemingly let him have it back later, just in time to shoot up a school.

Remember, this guy is supposed to be a prohibited person under state and federal law. One might “reasonably” expect that third party to know that. So for that person to transfer the firearm back to the Bucket O’Chum is also a crime under state and federal law.

Weirdly, at least to anyone unfamiliar with the Post-Dispatch’s long hatred of all things Second Amendment, it doesn’t appear to have occurred to the reporters to ask the police about their failures to arrest the responsible parties in the unlawful possession and transfer. Even though that most likely would have prevented the school shooting ever happening.

And no confiscatory red flag law needed.

I also have some private suspicions about the legality of the private sale through which chum-boy got the gun. Here’s a photo released by the police.

A PSA lower with what looks like a beat-up third-party upper. The lack of a handguard reveals the gas tube, and what I think is gas discharge damage back at the front of the upper (maybe because the tube was left unprotected by a guard). I really wonder if any responsible, law-abiding person would sell that POS to another user as anything but a fixer-upper or parts source. Just how “lawful” was that private sale? If the St. Louis cops ignored the other law violations, are they bothering to follow-up on that? Or are they just going to whine for an unnecessary — if they’d done their jobs — red flag law?

At least one shooting witness had said the perp’s gun jammed. If I’m right about that gas tube leak, that may be the cause. I suspect that gun had been rendered into an unreliable bolt-action. And thank goodness the clearly ignorant shooter had no idea how to deal with that.

Turning BRUEN On Its Head

The Firearms Policy Coalition and the Second Amendment Foundation are suing Washington over its “high capacity” (10+ rounds) magazine ban. That’s old news in itself. What is new is that the Aliiance for Gun Responsibility joined the case as “intervenor-defendant.”

Yes, someone petitioned the court to be sued. Odd, but not unprecedented. More often if someone thinks they have valid points to bring to the court’s attention they would file an amicus brief. But actually being a party to the case gives them more leeway to file motions and responses and potentially call more witnesses.

But I couldn’t help wondering exactly what the AGR, the primary backers of the ban, expected to bring before the court that the existing governmental defendants couldn’t or wouldn’t.

The Alliance specifically denies Paragraph 38’s assertion that LCM regulations are “recent phenomena.”
[…]
The Alliance specifically denies Paragraph 39’s assertion or suggestion that LCMs have been common in America (or anywhere else in the world) for hundreds of years.

Wait. What? Large capacity magazines aren’t recent but have been around for quite a while, but they haven’t been around for quite a while? They regulated something that hadn’t been around?

The Alliance admits that, to the extent weapons capable of firing more than ten rounds existed before the 20th century, they were experimental, unusual, impractical, unreliable, prohibitively expensive, or otherwise not analogous to modern firearms equipped with LCMs—and thus unlikely to necessitate government regulation. The Alliance admits that the only known example in existence of the Wheellock rifle was made in Germany around 1580 and was capable of firing 16 shots.

Basically, we are looking at a –admittedly confused — variation of the old “the founders never envisioned anything but single-shot muskets” argument. Buy with a weird twist to account for the ruling in BRUEN.

The Alliance admits that, to the extent weapons capable of firing more than ten rounds existed before the 20th century, they were experimental, unusual, impractical, unreliable, prohibitively expensive, or otherwise not analogous to modern firearms equipped with LCMs— and thus unlikely to necessitate government regulation.

BRUEN requires that gun control laws and regulations have a basis in general, historical tradition.

The test that the Court set forth in Heller and applies today requires courts to assess whether modern firearms regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding. Of course, the regulatory challenges posed by firearms today are not always the same as those that preoccupied the Founders in 1791 or the Reconstruction generation in 1868. But the Constitution can, and must, apply to circumstances beyond those the Founders specifically anticipated, even though its meaning is fixed according to the understandings of those who ratified it.

AGR is arguing that specific firearms — innovations — have a basis in such tradition, or they can by default be regulated. AGR’s attorney, Kai Smith, just got BRUEN completely ass-backwards.

Never mind that SCOTUS disposed of that very argument in BRUEN. Or, for that matter, in the earlier Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016)…

the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding”

AGR would have us — and specifically the court — believe that the only reason that the government didn’t “envision” magazine limits was that they didn’t envision “high capacity” magazines. And of course if they’d anticipated that, they would have preemptively banned such Progress of Science and useful Arts”.

Instead of promoting innovation.

Pro-tip, AGR: Just because Madison didn’t invent “high capacity” magazine-fed semi-automatic firearms does not mean he didn’t anticipate such a possibility.

James Madison, known for his role in drafting the Bill of Rights (including that pesky 2A) lived through the rise of repeating firearms, breechloaders, paper cartridges, percussion caps, metallic cartridges, pinfire cartridges, centerfire cartridges, revolvers, and mass production of firearms.
[…]
Yet never once did Madison stop and say, “Whoa, guys! We didn’t have any of this new shit in mind. The Second Amendment is just for muskets.”

It’s almost as if they foresaw “Progress of Science and useful Arts” — including arms. And communications systems. You might even get the impression they sought to “promote” such advancements by “securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”

This — aside from the lack of a law degree — is why I’ll never be a federal judge. I’d have sanctioned attorney Kai Smith for that frivolous, self-contradictory filing that completely reverses the meaning of two separate Supreme Court rulings.

Defending the Constitution by Endorsing its Enemies?

3 Comments

How can one defend Constitutional integrity by endorsing the view of its enemies? How can one defend its meaning if ignorant of that meaning? The former is akin to an attorney telling the jury every word uttered by prosecutors with respect to his client’s guilt is true, but, find him not guilty anyway. The latter would be like a football team taking the field having spent zero time studying and learning their plays. Both are doomed to failure.

Chris Stigall is a conservative radio talk show host out in Kansas City, Missouri. The Pacific Legal Foundation, headquartered in Sacramento, California, is a conservative nonprofit defending American’s individual and property rights in Court against abuse by the federal government. I was able to pick up the Stigall Show on Monday 3 October 2022. He was interviewing an attorney for Pacific Legal about a pending case. During the discussion, she said, and Stigall agreed, under the Commerce Clause, the federal government has the authority to regulate anything that crosses state lines. Both are profoundly wrong. Prior to penning this refutation, I attempted to contact Stigall through several channels including his station manager, without success. That conservatives are ignorant of the Constitution to the point of endorsing interpretations counter to its meaning, is testament to public education’s success in teaching an imposter. The talk show host and attorney’s error possibly stem from a misapprehension with respect to America’s form of government, nature of delegated powers, state’s reserved powers, and meaning of the Commerce Clause.

America has a federal not national form of government. Although these terms are used interchangeably by teachers, they are, in fact, not at all the same. Under a national system, all power is consolidated in a central government and states comprise its regional subdivisions and have little or no autonomy. The central government makes all laws and applies them to states irrespective of local interests.1 America has a federal system in which States created the general government and delegated to it finite powers. Its authority is limited to international relations, foreign trade, war, copyrights, and standardization of currency, weights and measures, and a postal system. States are not political subdivisions of the general government but retain independent authority within their boundaries.2 They also have the right to take back powers they delegated to the federal government.3 States reserved all powers to themselves over domestic affairs. Federal and state power operate in separate autonomous spheres. Like trains, they run on parallel but separate tracks that do not intersect.4 States enumerated the federal government’s 18 powers in Article 1, Section 8. Any power not delegated is a power denied to the federal government. State’s exclusive authority over non-delegated powers is codified in the Tenth Amendment.5

The federal government may exercise only its enumerated powers and may not create implied from explicit ones. It may acquire new or expanded powers only through the amendment process. Only states may amend the Constitution. It cannot be amended by any branch of the federal government through interpretation. It may not make national laws as those operate on and within states which would violate the 10th Amendment. How does this relate to the Commerce Clause?

The Clause reads;

“The Congress shall have Power: To regulate commerce with foreign Nations,

and among the several States, with the Indian Tribes” [capitalization in the

original].6

Through the Declaration of Independence (1776), Articles of Confederation (1781), and Treaty of Paris (1783), Britain’s 13 former North American colonies declared they were independent sovereign states (nations) and recognized as such by Great Britain and the world. Each possessed an autonomous government and constitution. To raise revenue and protect native industry and agriculture, states erected tariffs and tolls on goods crossing their borders, by land, sea, and river, from other states. They also disputed the boundaries of western lands won through the war.7 In addition, they made separate trade treaties with foreign powers without regard to whether or not it harmed the interests of other states.

For example, under its colonial charter, Maryland controlled the Potomac River right to Virginia’s shoreline. Both used this river to ship upstate and western goods to the coast. To gain access to the river, Virginia successfully negotiated a trade treaty with Maryland. James Madison and others believed similar arrangements might be expanded to include the other eleven states. This might unify them and lead to settlement of western land claims. They called for a Convention to meet in Annapolis, 1785. Some states sent delegates, some arrived too late, and others boycotted. Congress called for a second convention to meet in Philadelphia.8 They met from May through September, 1787, debating and working out a constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. They faced many challenges. Chief among them were trade disputes.

If states created a trade system benefitting all and disadvantaging none, it would diffuse interstate conflicts and bolster their economic strength vis a vis Britain and Europe. A clause eliminating interstate barriers to trade and commerce was the solution. In time, this policy would transform the United States into the “largest area of free trade in the world”. The Commerce Clause would put an end to “mercantilistic systems” of trade.9

John Taylor, perhaps the most towering intellect of the Founding period, noted the power to regulate commerce states delegated to the federal government served two purposes, “to prevent foreign nations from obtaining unjust advantages over the United States” and “to prevent one state from making another tributary to itself”.10 However, and this is crucial, the Commerce Clause delegates to Congress power to regulate trade between the U.S. and three forms of “sovereign entities; the States, foreign nations, and the Indian Tribes”.11 This refers to trade arrangements. It does not grant Congress power over commercial activities in or between states.12 The Commerce Clause’s purpose is to create one voice with respect to foreign trade and to facilitate free trade between states. How is the latter accomplished? By eliminating interstate tariffs and tolls not to erect rules governing commercial activity within and or crossing state lines.

In Federalist 42, James Madison explained the Commerce Clause only delegated to the federal government authority over international trade but not over the commercial activities within states or crossing their borders.13 Under this clause, the federal government makes trade treaties with foreign nations. To argue it empowers a federal government to make national laws governing commercial activities within states is nonsensical. States created the federal government. Did they assign it the function of making trade treaties between it and individual states? Of course not, because states are not foreign nations and commercial activities fall under state’s reserved powers. For example, the federal government may make trade treaties with Indian tribes but it has no authority to make rules governing the manufacture and sale of goods by Indians or sold to non-Indians. It is crucial to keep in mind that commercial activities and trade are not the same.14

The federal government has no authority to make rules governing the manufacture and sale of goods, working conditions, wages, or rules for transportation by air, boat, train or truck, private or public, inter or intrastate. These are functions of state governments.15

Madison noted delegates to the federal convention used the term commerce 34 times during debate and discussion typically in reference to trade with foreign nations. They used the terms commerce and trade interchangeably. This was true for the 63 times authors of the Federalist Papers [Hamilton, Madison, and Jay] used the terms. No delegate to the federal and subsequent state ratifying conventions, used these terms to mean other than trade.16

In Federalist 45, Madison wrote;

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government

are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are

numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external

objects as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the

power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to

the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of

affairs concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal

order, improvement and prosperity of the State”.17

What about the word “regulate”? Does it not mean the federal government has authority to control commercial activity? Does not control necessarily imply authority to make rules governing such activities in states, especially if it crosses state lines?

Fortunately, we have a treasure trove of documents from the framers. They demonstrate the common usage of the word “regulate” with respect to the Commerce Clause did not mean authority to make rules governing commercial activity. On the contrary, it means “to keep moving” to make regular. The Clause’s purpose is to keep trade moving by, as noted, eliminating interstate tariffs and tolls. The federal government’s power is reactive. It may remove barriers to interstate trade but may make no rules governing commercial activity.

Article 1, section 9, clause 6 states;

“No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue, to the

ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels to or from one State, be

obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another [capitalization in the original].18

The Article is clear, Congress’s commerce power is to eliminate specific trade policies, employed by states, favoring their domestic industries and commercial activities at the expense of sister states.

Comparing the Constitution’s sections on commerce, with the dictionary extant at the time [1785 edition of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language], it is clear commerce is defined as trade not the manufacture and sale of goods or any other gainful activity. This includes all phases of agricultural production and trade between individuals.19 Hence, the federal government has zero authority to make national laws governing the economic activities of private individuals, companies, or states within or crossing state borders.

Vice President John C. Calhoun, regrettably binned by modernity over his views on slavery, was correct in observing regulation of commerce applies to relations between the United States and foreign nations. Congress cannot “regulate” commercial activities within or between states because such power belongs only to a national form of government and the United States is constituted a federal republic. Calhoun noted the only time the clause would empower the federal government in relations with states would be if one chose to erect tariffs on goods from other states.20

University Professor of Law and Government, Randy E. Barnett, notes in every case when the Constitution’s framers used the word “commerce”, the “narrowest” construction is employed. The phrase “among the states” referred to trade between states and “regulate” meant “to make regular”. Again, Congress has no authority to make rules governing economic activity in any state whether it crosses state lines or not.21

Professor St. George Tucker, an officer in the Virginia Militia during the War of Independence, and later law professor, wrote the Constitution never authorized the federal government to regulate or interfere with domestic commerce in any way. The Commerce Clause was designed to protect domestic commercial activity from federal interference. States never delegated Congress authority to make rules for any form of economic activity among people, businesses, and states.22 Yet, today, Congress and the Court interpret “to regulate” opposite of its meaning. Justice Clarence Thomas observes the “original meaning” (indicating the current one is in error) of commerce “was limited to the ‘trade and exchange’ of goods and transportation for this purpose”. Courts today have turned this meaning on its head by applying it to “any gainful activity”.23

A common understanding of the Commerce Clause remained consistent throughout the founding era. There is “not a single example from the reports of these proceedings [drafting and ratifying the Constitution] that unambiguously used the broad meaning of commerce, and many instances where the context makes clear that the speaker intended a narrow meaning”.24

Professor Brion McClanahan writes, since Chief Justice John Marshall, who was a strong proponent of a national as opposed to federal system, used Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) to create for Congress a “right to regulate interstate commerce”.25 Marshall had access to founding documents and even spoke in favor of ratification at the Virginia Convention. He knew the meaning and intent of the Commerce Clause. He knew Congress has no authority to regulate private or public economic activities inter or intrastate. But he, like Alexander Hamilton, supported abolishing state governments by consolidating all power in a national government. He ruled, Congress could intervene and make rules for commerce “within a single state” if it affected trade with or in another state.26 In so doing, he overturned the Constitution. From Marbury v. Madison (1803) McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) and subsequent cases, Marshall created from thin air, a new power for Congress rejected to it by the States and Constitution.

Marshall believed the framers meaning and intent for the Commerce Clause was “too narrow”. Congress should have the power to intervene in the economic affairs of state and people. He wrote, “The manner in which the Congress decides to regulate commerce is completely at the discretion of Congress”.27 Of course, he did. Such power would go a long way toward transforming a federal into a national system and destroy state’s reserved powers. Subsequent Courts built precedent on Marshall’s invalid rulings.

For many years they were successfully opposed by Presidents and Governors but, with the passage of time, and for various reasons, Americans began to accept this rewriting of the Constitution and extralegal abolition of the 10th Amendment. Federal Courts ruled Congress could now make laws governing all economic activities within and across state lines if such activities had a “substantial effect (determined by Congress and the Court), on other states. This is an open-ended grant of power because any “activity when taken in the aggregate, could be said to have a ‘substantial effect” on interstate trade. Marshall and subsequent courts eviscerated limits on Congress’s power.28

States created a federal not national government. Through the Constitution, they delegated to it limited and defined powers. They include foreign relations, international trade, war, and standardization of currency, weights and measurements, copyrights, and a postal system. States did not surrender but reserved all other powers to themselves. No federal branch of government, legislative, executive, or judicial, was given the power of judicial review. None has the sole or final authority to interpret the Constitution’s meaning. That right belongs to the people. Consolidationists at the federal convention proposed granting this power to the federal court but delegates voted it down knowing full well States would never ratify the proposed constitution if it contained such a provision. Therefore, the Court has zero authority to rule on the constitutionality of any law, federal or state. The Commerce Clause was written to prohibit states from restricting the free flow of interstate goods through internal tariffs and tolls. Period. Congress has no authority to regulate the economic activities of people, businesses, private or public, within states or because they cross an imaginary line.

How can anyone defend what they know little or nothing about? This amounts to an inexcusable forfeiture on the battlefield. As one who taught government for more than two decades in the public high school system, I am well aware what they teach is an imposter in place of the real Constitution. This is no excuse for conservatives and those claiming to be originalists, to promote the same imposter. After all, I too was taught the false constitution. I took the time to find the real one and others should as well. You may be surprised to discover how far removed, the one taught in public schools, is from the Constitution ratified by the Thirteen States. Hint, no amendments were ever passed to change the intended, and now opposite, meaning of t

Another One Bites The Dust

3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I noted that Gun Control Act of 1968 restrictions were in serious trouble, post-BRUEN.

Unconstitutional GCA restrictions are beginning to drop like flies, now that the Supreme Court has put the lower courts on notice that the intermediate scrutiny game doesn’t play anymore.
[…]
“What makes the Second Amendment right second class this time? Where’s the general historical tradition for that, since it never existed prior to 1968?”

Chalk up another one.

Judge Rules Federal Ban on Guns With Removed Serial Numbers Is Unconstitutional
A judge has ruled that a federal law banning guns that have had their serial numbers removed is unconstitutional.
[…]
Serial numbers were first required by the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 to allow guns to be traced. They were adopted in an effort to prevent illegal gun sales.
[…]
Goodwin, a nominee of President Bill Clinton, found in his decision that the federal ban on guns with removed serial numbers is not consistent with the United States’ “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

He noted that a firearm without a serial number was not considered more dangerous compared to other firearms in 1791, when the Second Amendment was adopted. At the time, “serial numbers were not required, or even in common use,” he said, adding that the serial numbers “arose only with the advent of the mass production of firearms,” putting it outside of the “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

The GCA only required firearms commercially manufactured after 1968 — nearly two centuries after the founding of the country — to be serialized. The requirement was not retroactively applied to existing firearms, and still does not apply to privately manufactured firearms. That’s hardly a general historical tradition, as Judge Goodwin (a Clinton appointee, no less) correctly noted.

Not that the requirement was even effective at preventing “illegal gun sales” or thefts. A thief wouldn’t care, and defacing a serial number simply exposed him — prior to this ruling — to another piled on charge. A person knowingly making an illegal sale simply ignores the requirement to not deface, preventing its trace back to him.

Of course, with a national “time to crime” of 8.80 years on traced guns, even an unlawful seller of a serialized gun is pretty safe.

The government still has Price on a felon in possession charge, so some might think the prosecutors would just be happy with putting him away for years on that, and not waste time fighting the defaced serial number issue. Victim-disarming control freaks can rest assured that they will challenge this. They can’t afford not to do so.

First, the feds never want to lose a charging tool. Piling on charges is too useful in plea bargaining.

Second, and possibly more importantly, this ruling mucks with the current “ghost gun” narrative.

The term “ghost gun” has been used to vilify privately manufactured firearms (PMF). But showing just how commonly they are used in crime has been tricky. The observant should have noticed that when PMF ban-bunnies start talking about the evils of home builds, they rapidly shift to “unserialized” or “defaced” when it comes to actual numbers. At that point, they’ve established in the minds of the ignorant that “ghost guns” are home-made, but the scary numbers really include PMFs, defaced commercial arms, and pre-1986 firearms that never had or required serial numbers. Conflation is a favorite tool of victim-disarmers (see “assault rifle” v. “assault weapon“).

This ruling, left standing, endangers six pages worth of current federal “ghost gun” legislation. Not too mention future attempts to criminalize historical, lawful activity. The feds can’t have that.
