Weird how Antifa is never around when these guys are marching. https://t.co/YQPjD8vzbp

The cops made sure no one followed them.
It’s amazing the service this WS group gets. https://t.co/FB90JqoQjJ

Somebody had the bright idea: “Hey, can we do these at home?”
They’re becoming all too frequent though. Easy to spot. But when you look at mainstream media, the average intellect out there and the fact that most people just read headlines -probably still effective.
I’m hoping someone in the Republican caucus has finished legislation on deck to break up the FBI into a mess of successor agencies and make their current crew of ‘special agents’ untouchable in federal employment unless they can prove they had nothing to do with any of the agency’s scams. Also legislation to break up the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security and sort their components (with bits and pieces from other departments) into a half-dozen successor departments. And legislation on deck to amputate large segments of the federal penal code and recalibrate sentencing therein. And legislation to provide for hostile oversight and some tort liability for federal prosecutors, legislation which makes the attorney-general’s job and that of every member of the bar employed by him subject to rotation-in-office rules (e.g. no one can be so employed for more than 12 of the last 14 years). And legislation which replaces grand juries in federal cases with adversarial preliminary hearings. And legislation which allocates to the Attorney-General and his minions the task of making representations in court consequent to referrals from other agencies and also advising those agencies, but removes from them any authority to direct investigations.
Then there’s the CIA. See Reuel Marc Gerecht’s assessment of his old employer. This is the agency which promoted John Brennan through the ranks all the way to the top. Do we benefit from it at all?
Art Deco:
We have to decide first what we want the feds to do and not do, then strip them back to just the resources necessary to do those jobs, but you can’t keep the mission and pretend you can do without the agents. Agree with you on grand juries, but not sure on Homeland Security, for there is some sense in keeping border and customs issues under one roof. Still, HS should have no authority over US citizens once they clear customs. We also need to spilt the authority of the AG: at the local level the district attorney is not the police chief. E.g. let a reformed FBI just investigate, but leave enforcement to federal marshals under a different and independent office. No arms to any fed not in the marshals service or border control. If the IRS needs to audit a suspected gangster, let them bring a marshal. Inside the country, only one armed federal civilian agency. Security for federal properties can be a branch of that service.
When Antifa is no longer of use to the Feds, they too will be on the receiving end. Remember what Hitler did to the SA after he became Canceller.
We have to decide first what we want the feds to do and not do,
The FBI has very little to do with border security or immigration enforcement.
Homeland Security assembled a jumble of already existing agencies to which TSA was added and some sort of intelligence directorate. Note, the TSA was created because Democrats insisted that unionized federal employees perform a function that local airport security used to perform. Now, what’s the distinction between the functions of DHS and DoJ? It looks like a result driven by placating congressional barons who wanted to protect their turf.
My guess is that one thing we need to do is to reduce the scope of the federal penal code and re-calibrate its sentencing architecture. That Gen. Flynn could be prosecuted at all for his ‘offense’ is obscene.
One thing I suspect of which we have no need is an omnibus federal investigatory service. Let the armed services have their MP’s and inter-service investigatory agencies; leave the Coast Guard with it’s policing functions; have a point-of-entry inspectorate; have a border guard; have several agencies which provide security on federal property, cybersecurity for the federal government, and dignitary protection; have a crime laboratory; have a consultative service which assists state police in assisting local police; have an internal customs police; have an internal immigration police; have an agency which attacks the drug trade; have another which attacks tax evaders; have another which attacks espionage, treachery, and treason; have another which attacks racketeering; have another which hunts down theft of nuclear material; have another which attacks financial crime; have another which attacks fraud; have another which attacks interstate traffic in stolen goods and other contraband; have another which attacks federal corruption; have another which attacks malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance by all officials contra the life, liberty, and property of others; have another looking for missing persons; have a half dozen agencies which operate detention centers. Scatter these agencies in a half-dozen different departments.
I cannot help but think, though, that the most pressing problem is the institutional culture of the FBI, the US Attorneys offices, and the federal bench. The promiscuous use of agents provacateurs, bankrupting people under investigation (see Bruce Ivins), hideous grandstanding, extortion of guilty pleas.

Yeah, the false front nature of this bunch leaps of the screen. In addition to no antifa opposition, there’s also the detached, incurious nature of the reporting on this group by MSM–there’s no real effort to try to blow the lid of this threat angle. If they’re a big threat, then where are the dox efforts? And the arrests for their criminal conduct–e.g., the planned violence at the Idaho LGBT festival?
And then there’s the perfect mask discipline for their appearances and occasional videos. There’s one thing you can say for white supremacist movements: they are wormed with garbage people who are incapable of shutting their mouths, avoiding coverage or brushes with law enforcement this well. WS members frequently have a sideline in non-race-related criminality (most often drug-related) and rap sheets for illegal gun possession and domestic violence. Like I said, garbage people.
We have the barest outlines of this batch of pros, and despite their remarkable discipline, they don’t do much other than masked marching, issue the occasional video and have some vague plans for violence.
A quick solution: add a nationwide ban on masked demonstrations on federal property or that involving interstate travel for gatherings to the U.S. Code. Those laws were part of anti-Klan legislation in the past, and there is no principled objection to such now.
No principled objection, but it might embarrass our elites whose sullen offspring spend time in Antifa and various law enforcement agencies who have lost their way.
The cooperation of the police with them is a tell. Imagine how a real group marching without a permit is treated. Media also seems to know precisely when they are staging a march. Never any counter protestors. The marchers seem to be young men in peak physical condition and under military discipline. Compare and contrast with the Antifa street thugs. No clue as to the finances of the group. This has a Quantico Production stamped all over it.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a legit protest where everyone was in uniform like these feds always are. Maybe a legit protest would get everyone to wear a similar neck gaiter, but that on top of the same pants, same color shirt, baseball cap with same logo in one of two shades, etc.? No, ain’t gonna happen. And yet these feds always do it.
I suspect that there’s two reasons for this:
1.) The feds have no idea how to “dress like normal people” and so are given a list of uniform instructions instead. Being feds, they follow the instructions to the letter.
2.) In this case the uniformity is part of the psy-op. That is, “look at these people trying to destroy our diversity by forcing everyone to be exactly the same!”
Precisely: white guys marching with discipline is meant to evoke fear, especially with endless yammering about whiteness and white supremacy, which are also meant to be mentally interchangeable.
The trick is to not evoke so much fear that people demand action. Instead, pop up on the radar just enough to stoke anxiety–but not fear–ideally in close conjunction with some action in favor of regime goals–e.g., a speech with maximum positive coverage.
And then vanish until you need them to punctuate another regime argument. Lather, rinse, repeat.
What’s distressing is that local police and the media are co-operating with this charade. There should be someone in the skunkworks who blows the whistle on them explicitly.
Note. We know that Antifa has a support network which provides legal counsel and supplies. We have reason to believe now that the support network has a directorate and is co-operating with the federal security state. Our single best guess is that the support network is part of the sorosphere.
Note, the Global Disinformation Index was financed by a relict Reagan-era agency, the National Endowment for Democracy. When you kill off the FBI, kill of this barnacle too.
