Civil Rights

Open Thread

There is a study which shows the massive lies the New York Times spread about the Gaza conflict. If you go through it, you’ll see it reached ridiculous levels that would have caused Goebbles to blush. A Narrative was pushed of innocent, long-suffering “Palestinians” being brutalized for no reason by cruel, Nazi-like Israelis. You and I – being free from lies and at least somewhat educated – dismiss such drivel…but the readers of the Times don’t. They are highly credentialed, of course, but almost entirely uneducated. The younger, the more uneducated. When they look at Times articles, they just take it on faith that it’s true…and reading those articles leads them to other outlets where the lies get even more intense. In the end, the consumer of the lies is carrying a “Palestinian” flag and threatening Jews in Brooklyn. And, of course, voting for Mamdani.

And I know what you’re thinking: “here comes Mark to yammer on about lies again!”. But not really. Or at least not just that. You see, ten years ago, Mamdani could not get elected. Al Sayed could not have won a Senate nomination. These rank, hate filled anti-Semitic, anti-American creeps would not have gotten anywhere. It took a whole program of carefully crafted lies to get them to where they are. And the program isn’t just to get some power – it is to get all power. Using the most nasty lies imaginable, the Left proposes to push into power people who hate the United States who will then simply rule that Americans don’t have rights. It will end like Nicaragua – where first the Commies packed the Court and then, at the end, simply announced there would be no further elections…not needed, you see? Democracy had produced the desired result and so no more Democracy was necessary. They will do that here. They’re trying to do it (with a lot of success) in Europe. And the twin pillars of it are mass migration (especially of Muslim males) and lies.

So, yes, I will say it again: Lies must not enjoy first amendment protections. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. We do not have to allow those who would shoot us to hide behind our Constitution as they build the wall we’ll be up against.

Twenty States are suing Trump over his plan to deny welfare benefits to green card holders. Think about that. Foreign bums are draining welfare meant for Americans and the Democrats – it is all Democrats – are suing to keep it going. They hate the United States…and they desperately need those foreign bums to vote for them.

Newsom has hired Abbe Lowell to do his legal work – from what I understand, Lowell is a cracker jack criminal defense attorney in DC. In other words, the person you hire when you’re looking at 20 years in the slammer. He’s in deep doo-doo.

A Florida grand jury has subpoenaed John Brennan, who is also likely in deep doo-doo. But here’s the kicker – the possible charge is conspiracy to deny Trump’s civil rights. Have you looked up our civil rights laws? They have teeth! And they make no mention of an exception for Trump…they cover every last person in the United States. We all have civil rights, guys! I know – who knew?

This is the tactic I’ve been wanting them to take and I hope Brennan is the test case – Trump lives in Florida so his rights, if they were violated, were violated in that State. This means that even if your conspiracy to deny his rights as organized in DC, you’re still going to face indictment in Florida…from a D+ 84 jury pool to R+ 13. Actually way more fair to Brennan than he deserves. And Brennan is just one of probably a thousand people who conspired to deny Trump’s civil rights. And once we get that rolling…do you know that a case can be made that my civil rights are violated when prominent Democrats around the country imply that I’m a racist Nazi due to my Trump vote? I think that is a serious problem and a grand jury of my neighbors – who also voted Trump – should look into that.

Do We Have Any Guts?

The word at this moment is that the DOJ is going to charge Don Lemon and the rest of the Commies who invaded a Minnesota church yesterday under the Klan Act. The teeth of it:

…That any person who, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of any State, shall subject, or cause to be subjected any person within the jurisdiction of the United States to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution of the United States…

…That in all cases where insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combinations, or conspiracies in any State shall so obstruct or hinder the execution of the laws thereof, and of the United States, as to deprive any portion or class of the people of such State of any of the rights, privileges, or immunities, or protection, named in the Constitution and secured by this act, and the constituted authorities of such State shall either be unable to protect, or shall, from any cause, fail in or refuse protection of the people in such rights, such facts shall be deemed a denial by such State of the equal protection of the laws to which they are entitled under the Constitution of the United States; and in all such cases…it shall be lawful for the President, and it shall be his duty to take such measures, by the employment of the militia or the land and naval forces of the United States, or of either, or by other means, as he may deem necessary for the suppressions of such insurrection, domestic violence, or combinations…

Nutshell: if you do anything – even under the color of law or custom – which denies the rights of an American, you are in violation of the Act and if the local and State government wherein you reside refuse for any reason to secure your rights, then the President may use any means which come to hand to secure your rights, local law notwithstanding. Lemon’s assertion is that he was merely exercising his First Amendment rights to report on the incident…but the videos he’s posted show he had advance knowledge of and participated in the invasion of the Church, thus being part of a combination designed to deny the right of the people to free exercise of religion. Given that the government of Minnesota has done nothing – and has, indeed, encouraged such actions – it is now fully within the power of the President to see to it that the free exercise rights of the people of Minnesota are secured.

But, as they say, there’s more! 18 US Code 247:

Whoever, in any of the circumstances referred to in subsection (b) of this section…intentionally obstructs, by force or threat of force, including by threat of force against religious real property, any person in the enjoyment of that person’s free exercise of religious beliefs, or attempts to do so; shall be punished as provided in subsection (d).

Lemon and co are lucky nobody was physically harmed…but just for walking in there, they each face a year in jail. But the main thing to keep in mind here is that there are a host of laws on the books protecting civil rights, they are race and gender neutral, they have teeth…and they simply haven’t been applied to the Left, ever.

If we have just a small bit of guts, we’ll be able to destroy the Left…and they walked right up and asked us to. Keep in mind: the Klan doesn’t even exist any longer. Nobody will incorporate a Klan organization under the laws of the United States or the several States because doing so just makes you liable in court…so it can be with Antifa and all these Commie terror groups organizing protests and riots around the country.

Obstruct law enforcement. Block a road. Harass a citizen over beliefs. Any and all of these are massive federal law violations. And everyone involved in the organization doing it is completely liable both as to criminal and civil penalties.
