Petitions pending before the Supreme Court seek to overturn the DOJ's use of a post-Enron scandal obstruction law against Jan 6 defendants including Donald Trump. I explain it here.
The abuse of 1512(c)(2) is part of the overall abuse of the criminal justice system by the DOJ. The DOJ is not prosecuting “crimes,” it is prosecuting political differences. No prosecutor from Merrick Garland to Jack Smith and the DC AUSAs who participate in prosecuting Americans to silence them from asking questions about the 2020 election or to prevent them from taking steps to prevent a repeat of 2020 should permitted anywhere near a US Court House. That Federal Judges have allowed these prosecutors to grossly violate the rights of law-abiding citizens is sickening. They are even bigger villains than the prosecutors. The Supreme Court needs to act decisively.
Exactly, Stephen--I often say the true villains here are the judges who act as a rubber stamp not a stopgap for an out-of-control DOJ. If SCOTUS overturns DOJ/DC Circuit application of 1512c2, it will inflict a permanent institutional black eye and cry out for reconciliation to all defendants including Trump.
Great piece. I read it on RCP and sent the link to friends I thought would be interested, with the comment that it’s kinda freaky that only one journalist in America is covering this. 😳
Very good, Julie. And here’s another Real Clear Investigations article from a few years ago about a “novel” way to teach history: Teach white children to be ashamed of themselves for being white, pretend it’s teaching black history and then scream that conservatives are trying to ban the teaching of black history when we object.
This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. And these are the same people who are working to put Trump in prison.
“If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October.
“I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.”

Will the Supreme Court take this Derek Chauvin new evidence case? Fat chance. They know the mob would just take to the streets burning and looting which the democrats would dismiss as mostly peaceful protests. The whole Floyd saga was a hate campaign against “Whiteness!” orchestrated by the democrats and their media for the sake of political gain to “fundamentally transform” America into something grotesquely insane and totally unworkable. Woke race ideology is a recipe for tribal race war, not a new way to govern a nation yet many do embrace it and fight for it. This is just not working at all.

But would that even be possible in a society as severely fragmented as this where Woke ideology is now so deeply embedded in so many minds? Ami Horowitz interviews black protestors in Minneapolis before the Chauvin verdict and asks if they condemn people who want to burn the city down if Chauvin is acquitted. They say “no.” Should the judicial system be eliminated? “Yes.” How many unarmed black people were killed by cops last year? “Thousands! A genocide against black people!” Do we need another civil war now? “Yes!” What percentage of this country are white supremacists? “Most are.” Should white supremacists be killed? “That would be ideal.”
Where did these people learn this poison? From our criminally insane, predominantly white leftist, upper class, globalist, Woke ruling class in the Democratic Party, Corporate America, Academia, Hollywood, BigTech and msm.

FYI, I'm currently reading Xi Van Fleet's book: Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning (which was released on Halloween - Oct 31).
Xi Van Fleet survived all 10 years of Mao's Cultural Revolution. She makes a compelling case that the Woke Cultural Revolution that is currently unfolding in the United States is following the same playbook as Mao's cultural revolution.
“Our condition is forever precarious; even basic human decency can shatter and vanish in an instant.”
“The everyday order of our lives may seem to us natural and permanent, but it is in fact as fragile and illusory as the cardboard props on a theatrical stage: It can collapse in a flash and turn at once into black horror. Our condition is forever precarious; even basic human decency can shatter and vanish in an instant.”
“History does not repeat itself, but ideas do.”
“Maoism had unique traits but Leys nonetheless always saw it as a member of what he called the “great totalitarian family”—ideologies produced by patterns of thought found across human societies, from tiny shipwrecked pre-Enlightenment microcosms to vast 20th century nations.”
“Analyst of Totalitarianism-Reading Simon Leys Today.”
The J6 patriot-victims deserve justice and restoration. Due process is in tatters. Pre-trial punishment and cruel and unusual punishment (years of pre-trial solitary confinement and denial of basic hygiene). Every reasonable citizen holds the whole circle-jerk of DoInjustice, the FBI, corrupt political judges, and a cowardly UniParty legislature in CONTEMPT. Utter contempt.
“One general conclusion from reading Leys is that although totalitarian movements are immensely dangerous, that doesn’t mean we should give the theories behind them much intellectual weight. Leys quoted the Chinese saying coined by the philosopher Jacques Maritain: “Never take stupidity too seriously.” There was no point arguing economics with a Red Guard, or theology with one of Cornelisz’s murderous thugs. These movements were about power in the service of mad millenarian aims, and they were only defeated with countervailing force. Fighting totalitarianism takes organization and a coordinated response, not theory. And it takes adults who have a moral compass.”

America is disintegrating and our entire world is rapidly unraveling. Here’s a fascinating article about violence against women in China which is one of the many ways their social fabric is being shredded. I’m retired but used to work with a couple of Indian Muslims from Gujarat in Chicago. Once I read an article about how Muslim men beat their wives. A couple of days later at work one of these Indian Muslims with a long black beard came walking past my work center. I knew him well enough to tease him so I called him over, told him about the article I read and asked him if he beats his wife. I was just teasing and was sure he’d deny that Muslim men are so brutal. Instead though, he cheerfully admitted that he beats his wife all the time. He said if he says something to her and she ignores him he gives her a slap in the face. I told him he could be arrested for that. He said she wouldn’t dare call the police on him. He had 4 kids too who presumably grew up seeing their mother being beat up by their father. How awful.
I once asked the other Indian Muslim if they were related since they were from the same place and seemed to know each other well. He said only by marriage since the other one was married to his sister. I’ve often wondered how he would have reacted if he knew that his brother-in-law was using his sister as a punching bag but then I also wonder if she never told him because she knew he wouldn’t do anything about it. She was basically property to do with as her husband pleased. I worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world and the way he so casually and even cheerfully talked about beating his wife was a good example of the great culture shock that I felt from a few of them.
“But it was domestic abuse that provided the trigger, the decisive factor.”
“This problem is ubiquitous in modern China. According to the CCP’s own statistics (usually manipulated to downplay the extent of problems), some 35.7 percent of Chinese women endure violence at the hands of their partners. “
“We the people” no longer exist as a people. Believe it or not, many of our “fellow Americans” support the democrats and believe that white, working class conservatives are a “clear and present danger” that simply must be dealt with. I’m not saying they have won. They are far too deranged and incompetent to govern. They cannot win. They can only destroy. Look at cities like Chicago, NYC or any democrat ruled city. This is not winning. This is a nation-wide collapse into insanity and self-destruction.

They are on the same team. So are the RINOs in Congress who stand by and watch it.
