More Establishment hysteria-fueling — "Capitol rioters included trained ex-military, cops"

Evidently, "drones and suicide-type aircraft" . . .

 

. . . are not enough of an Inauguration Day threat.

 

Yesterday, the Lamestream added this:

 

 

Capitol rioters included trained ex-military, cops.

 

An AP [Associated Press] review of public records and social media shows at least 21 current or former members of U.S. military or law enforcement have been identified as being at or near the Capitol riot.

 

More than a dozen others are now under investigation.

Yup, out of thousands of Capitol-trespassing Trumpists . . .

 

. . . a handful were cops and vets.

 

That should make y'all shiver in your slippies.

 

"I almost dropped my glass'a milk, ma!"

 

 

Do the math

 

Twenty-one — plus maybe twelve — cops and vets are enough to take down the United States?

 

Who knew?

 

 

To enforce this drama

 

The Lamestream trotted out Michael German — a fellow at the politically "progressive" Brennan Center for Justice.

 

He predictably put an exclamation point on the "vets are attacking us" message:

 

 

"ISIS and Al Qaeda would rule over having somebody having the training and experience of a US military officer.

 

"These people have training and capabilities that far exceed what any foreign terrorist group can do."

I say "predictably" because this is the same Michael German . . .

 

. . . of "former FBI agent" fame — who said of Portland's 2019 Proud Boys' sponsored counter-protest:

 

 

“Allowing the militants to man armed checkpoints and harass and beat journalists and others without interference reinforces the idea that the police condone these armed out-of-state groups coming into Portland and intimidating, threatening, and assaulting residents.”

The same Michael German, who said that:

 

 

“Slave patrols were among the first public policing organizations formed in the American colonies.

 

“Put simply, white supremacy was the law these earliest public officials were sworn to enforce.”

 

“The Justice Department has no national strategy designed to identify white supremacist police officers or to protect the safety and civil rights of the communities they patrol.”

Thus — out of presumably thousands of retired FBI agents

 

We come to literally and figuratively "long-haired" (see the video) Michael German to receive quotable negative insights — regarding allegedly insurrectionist (presumably "skinhead" in orientation) neo-Nazi vets and cops.

 

 

Now consider the broader picture

 

The perpetually warmongering United States sends thousands of troops abroad and spends trillions of dollars to overturn (and often kill) other governments, peoples and groups.

 

Then, it gets hysterical when some of these same troops bring the skills that we gave them home.

 

Do you see some cognitive dissonance in that?

 

Maybe some self-serving propaganda?

 

A wisp of dripping hypocrisy?

 

Plain lies and massive distortions?

 

 

The moral? — The Plutocracy wants to have it both ways, all the time

 

Crush people, wherever they are.

 

Then, point Fingers of Blame at everyone else.
