YES, I KNOW THIS IS AMAZON: But local book stores are now scarce and many have been convinced not to carry books by this bad thinker.  So I think we should buy it.

ANDY NGO: Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.

A journalist who’s been attacked by Antifa writes a deeply researched and reported account of the group’s history and tactics.

When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who’d been following Ngo’s reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa.
In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who’ve been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. This book contains a trove of documents obtained by the author, published for the first time ever.

YES, IT IS CENSORSHIP:  Censorship.

AND THIS IS WHY I DON’T TRUST ANY OF THESE SENSATIONAL NEWS:  Fact Check: Was ‘TRUMP’ Carved Into a Manatee in Florida?

No word on whether there was a noose around the manatee’s neck, or whether the people who drew on him shouted “this is MAGA country.”

NOTE THAT THE RIGHT AREN’T SHUTTING DOWN THE LEFT:  A Nation Divided.

I HUMBLY PROPOSE THIS STRATEGY:  Dance to the Line.

At least for now.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THAT “FELONY MURDER” THEY’RE TRYING TO STICK ON THE PROTESTERS:  If you look at this video from the totally non-partisan Lincoln Project. (Truly. Severe Conservatives, they say.)

And follow along with their outrage, you might miss some facts illustrated in a comment from one of my regular commenters:

If there is one thing you always have to remember, it is to read or watch things that purport to contradict your view of what happened.

There is another thing – whether it is contradictory or supporting, look at it with a critical eye, and verify it.

This is no exception.

This video shows people trying to enter the Capitol Building, against opposition from people (reasonably assumed to be officers, either DC Metro or Capitol Police). That is a truth.

What it also shows is that mace was being sprayed from inside. Reasonable. It also shows batons being wielded from inside. It shows what appears to be an officer down (there is a typical arm patch, although not completely identifiable). It shows him on his face, pointed OUT of the building entrance – which says he was struck from BEHIND. Ah. Who was behind him that might have struck him? Only other officers. Slightly later, as the batons were still being frantically wielded, it shows a protestor standing over the fallen officer, holding up his crutch as a makeshift SHIELD over the officer.

Doesn’t look at all like the claim that this was a beating BY the PROTESTORS, does it?

Then look at the source of the video. You have to go to the Twitter account of Hull, where he attributes it to one Ron Filipkowski. Hmm. Look up that name, and his posts elsewhere. Ah. This person is a rabid TRUMP HATER from Florida. Registered as a Republican, true – but that is meaningless in this day and age. What is he doing in DC, among the protestors, when he wants nothing more than to demonize and destroy Trump? No, he’s not a “journalist” either official or citizen – he’s a lawyer that had a political appointment to a judicial selection committee (which he resigned from when one of the CoViD panic scammers in his State was raided). There is also one INDIVIDUAL voice that comes clearly in the video – one that had to be very close to the camera, and most likely Filipkowski himself. That voice utters one phrase – “Get that son of a b**** out of there!” That was undeniably an incitement to further violence – but by WHOM?

REALITY OBSERVER

Honestly, I think I need to do a post on “reading news when your press is not truthful.” Trust me, you can still extract information, but it’s not the one the government and the press (BIRM) are trying to feed you.

And please, guys, very seriously, don’t fall for this crap and don’t go silent. Because without us, the republic truly is dead forever. And you don’t know how horrible things will get. I do.

THIS SHOULD BE ENTITLED “THE DEEP STATE IS CLUELESS”:  The Deep State Is Rattled.

And yes, I am absolutely serious.

From the article:
Beyond the security question, this person told me the mob action has been a psychological blow on the DC bureaucracy which didn’t think such an open expression of tangible disrespect for the government was possible.

Wait, they think we respect the government? That we have respect for the people who work for us and who, frankly, over the last four years have done their best to to “punish” us for stepping out of script?
These poor idiots are going to find out Trump wasn’t protecting us from them. It was protecting them from us.  And their escalating the repressive measures and getting the potted plant to declare us thought criminals is only going make things worse.

They have no clue.  I used to keep a tiny fish. I think he had more brains than these people do. And probably a greater understanding of the world.  Buckle up. It’s going to get rough.

LOOK, THOSE OF US WHO ARE NUMERATE ALREADY KNEW THE ELECTION WAS FRAUDULENT:  Impeachment redux.

The fact that the courts then went on to refuse to even look at the case, on crazy technicalities, rather than allow discovery, was a huge, massive red flag too. Look, in a system like yours, if you think that the election was stolen, both parties should be interested in showing it wasn’t. This is why Trump allowed the entire Russia!Russia!Russia insanity to run its course.

But if you’re one of those terminally polyannish people who think “but maybe it was okay” this should be your biggest flag.  No one makes it a crime to talk about the election being fraudulent if it was above board.

I stand by my prediction. This will end in tears. And almost certainly blood. When the alleged victor is scared enough to want to silence everyone else?  It’s bad. They’re scared. They are also nearly invincibly stupid.
