CENSORSHIP: California Sues The Gatalog, CTRLPew for Distribution of Code for 3D Printing Guns. “Frustrated by the spread of 3D technology and their inability to nationalize their increasingly oppressive gun control laws beyond a few like-minded blue states, politicians in California have looked for ways to spread their tentacles into free America. They took a big step toward doing exactly that on Friday when Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu filed suit against two popular repositories of 3D printing files, The Gatalog and CTRLPew.”

ANN ALTHOUSE ON HOW “THE CURRENT THING’ APPEARS:

Once you’ve said “2015,” you’ve got your answer staring you in the face! Why don’t you see it? That was the year gay people won their great victory, a right to marry, in Obergefell v. Hodges. McArdle has “an orthodoxy… crystalliz[ing]” — as if a mysterious disembodied force emerged out of nothing — ex nihilo!

But real human beings were involved and their incentive to acquire a new cause is obvious. The activists had won, but they still needed to work, they still needed contributions, they still needed to push conventional people to move forward into challenging new territory. They couldn’t just allow people to become decently accepting and empathetic to the gay people who, after all, are human beings who sometimes love each other and want a home and a family. Remember that moment?

That made too much sense. Ordinary people relaxed. Got comfortable.

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. And the grift, to the extent that those two are distinguishable.

I’ve always felt that the Moon made more sense because it’s closer, but going directly to Mars is doable, as Bob Zubrin demonstrated with his Mars Direct architecture back in the 1990s. But I think Elon has now decided that he can’t leave his rear area open to occupation by hostile forces.

JOSH BLACKMAN: Seven Pages Of Nixon Grand Jury Testimony Reveal The Real Threat Of the Deep State. Nixon’s enemies within his own administration were spying on and trying to subvert the elected President. “The biggest takeaway is that an Air Force officer, Yeoman Radford, who worked in the White House, was a mole. No, not for the Soviets, but for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He would routinely make copies of documents from Nixon administration officials and share them with people in the Pentagon. Radford would pilfer documents from Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig and make copies of them. . . . The purpose of this espionage was to check the incumbent president from taking actions that the deep state opposed. You have to read through a lot of background to get to this shocking takeaway. Here is the key excerpt, where Nixon reveals to the prosecutors about the deep state ‘can of worms’. . . . Do you see what happened? Nixon was fully aware that there was a deep state in his own administration. He employed the ‘Plumbers’ to plug those leaks. But he would only reveal the depth of the deep state before a secret grand jury investigation. The Watergate Prosecutors, who were part of the DOJ deep state, did not want Nixon to talk about the Pentagon deep state. And for five decades, this testimony was sealed, until Rosen reported on it.”
