When You Can’t Catch Real Criminals, Go After The Challenged….
Bear with me, I do have a point here, in spring boarding off what Mike said today about the Feds so heroically taking down an autistic teenager. In Oaxaca Mexico, the native Indians believe children who are born with Down Syndrome are gifts from God, who have been entrusted to the tribe of whom to take very special care. They are not seen as handicapped, but seen as truly special people, and are to be treated as such. That’s a far cry from the way we treat them. I’m not saying that as a society that we (now) treat severely handicapped children badly, but we still, though even compassionately, see them has having something “wrong” with them, and treat them accordingly. But more to my point, [IN OTHER WORDS, AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT] what happened to the lawmen who took down John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, and Bonnie and Clyde? Whatever happened to the “One Riot, One Ranger” philosophy of law enforcement? Whatever happened to pursuing, tracking down, and personally engaging with and prevailing over the criminal element? Now, today criminal justice is the mis-characterization of entire groups of people who are duped, set up, apprehended with overwhelming militaristic force, and then punished by a judiciary often more corrupt than the poor sap standing in the dock. Just what is a “white supremacist” anyway? When I was a boy in the rural South, there was no question as to what a white supremacist was. On Saturday mornings the Ku Klux Klan would parade, in full regalia, down the main street of our town. Mess up and you’d got a cross burned on your yard. No pun intended, but back then, what was and was not a white supremacist was pretty black and white. Today on TV, many commercials portray mixed race couples. It’s so commonplace, that it’s no longer a big deal in our society. In the early 1960’s South, a black man who dated or married a white woman would have been killed. The line between a white supremacist and someone who was not, was crystal clear. Sometime in the 70’s or 80’s the Klan joined forces with the neo-Nazis (maybe to shore up dwindling numbers), and racial prejudice became Aryan-ized. Look at the Randy Weaver case. He and his family were categorized as “white separatists,” which to the Feds, was just a hop, skip, and a jump from being white supremacists, even though the Weavers would have said different. IF the Ruby Ridge incident had happened in the 1930’s or before, some bad to the bone Idaho lawman would have ridden up to the Weaver’s property and dealt with Randy personally. IF Randy and crew had responded forcefully, then a posse would have been rounded up and the matter would have been settled the way many Old West outlaws met their end. NOTE: Now I’M NOT SAYING by any means that Randy Weaver was an outlaw who deserved what he got. NO, JUST THE OPPOSITE, TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR. My point is, the tactics employed by law enforcement a long time ago, and in modern times are vastly different. Randy had originally broken no laws; he held lifestyle beliefs which are different from many, but that is not a crime. He was entrapped by a federal agent who posed as his friend, and got him to saw off one or two shotgun barrels as a favor. He was then arrested and given a shot at immunity if he would spy for the Feds on the nearby Aryan Nation; a move that would have likely gotten him and his family killed if discovered. When he refused, then failed to appear in court, the Federal Government declared war on him, and sent in the “troops” after Randy and his family. Militarily armed agents ambushed and killed his teenage son and their dog, and laid siege to his property. His wife Vickie was shot and killed by an HRT sniper while holding a baby. Probably determined by HRT to be an “assault baby,” or an “infant of mass destruction….” but I digress. How far we have fallen. At Waco, the local sheriff was known, respected, and on speaking terms with the Branch Davidians. Left to his own devices, that Texas lawman could have probably enforced the law without it escalating into a bloodbath. We need a lot more sheriffs, and a lot less Federal police of all stripes. Be ever vigilant; remember Bill Clinton proposed the instituting of a Federal Police Force with agents in every county. I’m sure there are politicians in Washington, and in the Justice department who have not forgotten that….

You are of course correct. However the two states I’ve lived in have legislated policing powers from any sheriff. The Sheriffs Project made some headway in the 2008-2012 period but dissapeared the same way Teslas electric source science did. The surest way to maintain federal power , is to create fear and need locally. Like yourself , I imagine , I just wanna be right with The Lord when he straightens this all out…….again……🙏🏻

Yours was an excellent post in every way. I haven’t listened to today’s show yet, I think I’ll wait till later… this stuff where autistic, downs, or others who are neurotypically different are targeted makes my blood boil.
Of course there are many neurotypical folks who have advanced skills and no common or street sense who could be targeted… but that might get attention or support because people might better identify with a neurotypical person… the “special needs” category may still be less understandable or worthy of empathy… just don’t know.
Whatever the case, your main thrust is the key… something to keep in mind as we build out our realities and move forward…

They’re being targeted for vaccines and gender switching sterilization and maiming, more and more drugs and pulling them out of sight. Slow kill.
I was talking to a young man yesterday on a work break who was ranting about Palestinians and Israelis being killed and everything taken away. So I asked him if you sterilized a bunch of them, shortened their life and set them up for auto-immune syndromes leading to cancer or organ failure, heart attacks, strokes, etc, forced them to close their business, kept them from collecting rent with no compensation, eliminated their ability to travel and work unless they join in the experiment, isn’t that just more palatable murder and property confiscation? Why should we be surprised?
Barbarism is better for elections, raising money and keeping order.

There is a large movement ongoing to utilize the Sheriffs as they are elected by the people. They can make a difference in upside down world. The burrow appears to like having the worst reputation. It’s almost as if they are looking for an angry confrontation by creating reasons over and over again. This is another blistering example in the long list of how low can you go. Think there already working to protect critical infrastructure aka the grid.

When our Democrat Governor locked everything down during the height of Covid, our County Sheriff publicly refused to enforce the shutdown mandates against churches.

Sounds like you have a good County & good County Sheriff. I’m going to have to check on my new one.

My mother and sister both taught “Special Education.” Growing up, and onwards I have been around and been friends with a number of people with Down Syndrome. One of the striking differences between them and us, is that we are born with a natural ability and proclivity to hate. I haven’t seen that in any of the folks with Down Syndrome I’ve met and known. It’s we, the quote “normal” people who are indeed mentally handicapped….

So well written and with comprehension of the situation.
