There seems to be some interesting combat going on these days, with Russian volunteers fighting for Ukraine invading a Russian border city and fighting the Russian military. Some suggest that this is actually a false flag operation… but wouldn’t that make it *worse?* The Russian government actually showing the Russian people an active resistance? Nah. The Kremlin couldn’t be *that* incompetent… could it?
So, what is the current form of American government? To the simple, it’s a democracy. To those who actually have *some* understanding of the theoretical workings of the US Federal government, it’s a representative republic. But to those who have watched how the Feds and a startling number of state and local governments work, a more accurate descriptor is one that most probably haven;t heard of… but rest assured, you *will* be hearing it a lot so long as the means of communications remain reasonably free and accessible:
Coined in 1995, “Anarcho-tryanny” is a form of government that is characterized by taking a hands-off approach to dealing with actual criminality at all levels… but exercising draconian oppression upon the average citizens. Sound familiar? Cities that let criminals loot and burn and protest and terrorize at will… but toss people who defend themselves into the hoosegow for show trials. States that do diddly to deal with gangs and murderers of all stripes, but ban common firearms and standard magazines. Federal law enforcement agencies that welcome in whole armies of invaders, and hire armies of armed bureaucrats to hunt down small business owners who might have made small mistakes on the deviously complex tax returns.
And then there are the “glowies.”
If you, as an average, law-abiding citizen who wants nothing more than to be left alone to live your life and pursue happiness, fear the government descending upon you more than the guy breaking into your car or shoplifting your store does… you may be in an anarcho-tyranny.
So the latest internet distraction is the case of a white pregnant nurse who was declared a “racist” and a “Karen” because she tried to use her White Privilege to steal a bicycle from some black guys, and get the cops called on them to get them killed. Shock of all shocks, it turns out that that narrative was in fact a lie; the guys stole the bike from *her* and filmed her and released a video in order to smear her.
How the fraudulent narrative got going:
This is unacceptable! A white woman was caught on camera attempting to STEAL a Citi Bike from a young Black man in NYC. She grossly tried to weaponize her tears to paint this man as a threat. This is EXACTLY the type of behavior that has endangered so many Black men in the past! pic.twitter.com/CLUMNzjSDY

She has apparently lost her job and been chased out of her home due to threats from the usual mob. A Gofundme has been set up to generate some living expenses… presumably, after her lawyer gets done reaming her former employer, she’ll be set for a good long time, but that will probably take a while.
Now here’s where I’m spit down the middle. The story as related above, if that was the sum total of it, would make Sarah the aggrieved party and fully worthy of sympathy. But this is what’s written on the Gofundme:
My name is Bob Roe, and this past Saturday, my niece, Sarah Comrie, a Physicians Assistant at Bellevue, became embroiled in a much-publicized incident with a Citibike that unfairly painted her as a racist “Karen.” The facts have since proven this is a lie, but the damage has been done. In fact, Sarah is a dedicated healthcare worker who is six months pregnant. She holds racial justice and equity dear, and has dedicated her life to serving NYC’s most challenged individuals. She does not wish to become a cause celebre, but the legal bills to save her livelihood and her reputation obviously are mounting. Please help!
Ummm… She holds racial justice and equity dear
Does she now. If that’s the case… she just got a good dose of racial justice and equity. She got what she holds dear. This would seem to make her about as sympathetic as the proud mayor of a “Sanctuary City” getting upset about all the buses of migrants showing up.
Now, I don’t know. Perhaps her uncle just made that up, spewing the sort of virtue signalling that far too many people think needs spewing in the futile hope of staving off the unthinking hordes of protestors. After Bud Light and Target and Ford and Miller Lite, I have lost the last little bit of patience I have for this nonsense.
If this doesn’t put a smile on your face… you and I are not the same.
Now looking for similar headlines with names such as “Swalwell,” “Schiff,” “Biden,” “Pelosi,” And “No, that other Biden.”
Short from: someone who demands that *other* people be transparent freaks out when *he* becomes transparent.

In other news… when is Adam Schiff going to face consequences? Any day now, surely. Right?
A song from five years ago is now made relevant again by this news about the “Trump-Russia Collusion” narrative falling apart even more:
As the kids say, it’s a “banger.”
It was produced by the same folks responsible for the Alex Jones “Gay Frogs” remix:
Whenever there’s an “incident,” no matter how horrifying, that can be used for political purposes, it *will* be used for political purposes. But sometimes those attempting to do so go about it in such a brazen and dishonest, yet bumblingly incompetent, manner that you just have to sit up and take notice.
For instance, the mass shooting in Allen, Texas. One of the first witnesses to dash before the cameras was one Fredd Steven Spainhouer, who said he rushed to render aid to the wounded, performing CPR on three of them.
He used this soapbox the argue against civil rights by way of disarming citizens:
He seemed to be out in front of cameras rather a lot. Turns out there’s a reason for that: he’s a Texas State Democrat Party Executive Committee member. It was an opportunity to not just tell his story, but to spin a political narrative. But there’s a problem, one the Allen Police Department has gone public with: he’s lying.
His history is not exactly an exemplary one. He fits in with the Dems just right, I guess.
He has also been indicted for tampering with government records, and terminated as a law enforcement officer.
The former Marine facing a show trial for restraining a subway loonie has a GiveSendGo to fund his defense. It’s currently more than $1.3 million which tends to make one think that there are a lot of people on his side.
Your government, ladies and gentlemen. Priorities: not you.
Suggestion: give the homeless vets jobs. On the border. Repelling the invasion.
After municipal and environmental laws failed, town officials approached Vermont State Senator Phillip Baruth for help. He quickly sponsored a bill making it a felony to operate a “paramilitary training camp” within the state.
Baruth, a liberal Democrat from Burlington, admitted he introduced the bill after Pawlet officials complained there was no state law that they could use to force Banyai to shutter his private ranges on his private property.
This week, Vermont’s Gov. Phil Scott – a Republican – signed the bill into law.
4071. PARAMILITARY TRAINING PROHIBITED
(a) A person shall not:
(1) teach, train, or demonstrate to any other person the use, application, or making of a firearm, explosive, or incendiary device capable of causing injury or death, or techniques capable of causing injury or death to persons, if the person knows or reasonably should know that the teaching, training, or demonstrating is intended to be used in or in furtherance of a civil disorder; or
(2) assemble with one or more other persons for the purpose of practicing or being taught, trained, or instructed in the use, application, or making of a firearm, explosive, or incendiary device capable of causing injury or death, or in techniques capable of causing injury or death to persons, if the person knows or reasonably should know that the practicing, teaching, training, or instruction is intended to be used in or in furtherance of a civil disorder.
It’s the “in furtherance of a civil disorder” that is the wedge in the door. Who could argue with a law against training someone to commit a crime? Well… how *exactly* do you determine what a civil disorder is? The law states: The term “civil disorder” means any public disturbance involving acts of violence by assemblages of three or more persons, which causes an immediate danger of or results in damage or injury to the property or person of any other individual. Three people in a fight is a “civil disorder.”
We’ve seen people arrested for committing acts of self defense. So is defending yourself against subway psychos (one psycho, two or three people holding him down) or mobs of murderous arsonists (one kid with a rifle against multiple armed assailants) “civil disorder?” I bet it can be to a creative prosecutor. And you can bet that if anyone who taught firearms safety, marksmanship or even basic self defense teaches the general public, chances are that one of their students will, at some point, use that training. And if there is a creative prosecutor, not only will the trainee get arrested… so will the trainer. Will the prosecutor win the trial against a guy who ran a karate school and who once taught a kid who then went on to karate chop another kid in a schoolyard brawl? Maybe, maybe not. But the prosecutor might well bankrupt the karate teacher in the process, so… that’s a win for the prosecutor, even if there’s a “not guilty” verdict.
