The Newtown Pentacle

Silly and stupid isn’t a good look.

One has been struck – not by the attack on Congress itself, mind you – but instead by the armies of “whataboutists” encountered since. Your political eidolon whips a crowd up into a frenzy, whereupon they magically produce a gallows on Capitol Hill and siege Congress, and rather than be horrified by that you say “What about… fill in the blank.” Have any of you read the Turner Diaries, the Bible of the white power people, specifically the chapter where the nationalists raid Washington and erect gallows to hang the liberals on Capitol Hill? Do you understand the sort of people whom you’ll be consorting with in the pages of history?

Also… 20 years ago the American Super State – not the political state mind you, but the actual globe spanning military and macro economic empire – was caught flat footed and surprised by an attack on one of its centers. Two years later, multiple nation states had lost their flags and their leaders were found hiding in holes in the ground, at the same time that a domestic and foreign surveillance network of unprecedented size and scope was created – just ask Assange or Snowden about that. What do you think is going to happen now? Take your guns? Pfah – guns are the least of your problems now – you’ve screwed with the wrong people, and hastened the creation of that Police state you fear so much. One thing about the American Super State is that it will always protect itself. Congress writes their paychecks.

The whataboutists and know nothings have long supported the erosion of personal rights and privacy in the name of security. If you don’t have anything to hide, why worry, right? Worship the badged Reverend in blue, right? Now it’s the whataboutists who are in the sights of the Super State.

When you start hearing about undercover cops attending your church to keep on eye on things, or wonder why the library is suddenly keeping a record of books you’ve read, or when you have to show some sort of Federal ID to rent a hotel room next time you visit your kids in another state – it’s because so many of you decided that your political party was some sort of exclusive club which enabled you to live in an alternate reality which embraced ideological cruelty. Jefferson warned us about parties, which you’d think all the Constitutional Originalists might acknowledge.

Also, the Politicians are going to have to start maintaining private security forces now to protect themselves and their families, little bitty standing army units whose loyalty oath is sworn to the Politician rather than to the country. This is precisely what I’ve been warning people about, sliding into late Roman times. This is what brought down Rome’s Republic, and it’s going to bring down ours. Even the impeachment filed today is bad, as it sets the precedent for political turmoil and legal jeopardy following a politician out of office and into private life.

This sort of thing is precisely why Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

Fuck your feelings, right? Cry your Demonrat Liberal tears, right?

Congratulations dumbasses. You did it. We’re at the brink of a Civil War and it only took us four years to get here.

What about BLM, or Antifa, or cancel culture, or… go fuck yourself, you Nazi wannabes and Crypto Klansmen.

Note: I’m writing this and several of the posts you’re going to see for the next week at the beginning of the week of Monday, January 4th. My plan is to continue doing my solo photo walks around LIC and the Newtown Creek in the dead of night as long as that’s feasible. If you continue to see regular updates here, that means everything is kosher as far as health and well being. If the blog stops updating, it means that things have gone badly for a humble narrator.
