America’s Color Revolution

Trump voters will never forget the shock of going to bed on November 3rd secure in the knowledge that the President had won a second term , only to awaken on November 4th to the news that Biden , lagging far behind Trump in all the battleground states , was magically now in the lead .
How did the Democrats pull this off ?
In both simple and sophisticated ways .
But the key to the massive election theft—their hidden tactic—is computerized vote-stealing by means of Dominion voting machines , and/or the “ Scorecard ” vote-flipping program .
Remember those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You-Know-Who ?
That wasn ’ t just a gain of 6,000 fake votes for Biden ; it also lowered Trump ’ s count by 6,000 , creating a difference of 12,000 votes between them in Biden ’ s favor .
Such “ vote flipping ” widens the gap between the two candidates twice as effectively as garden-variety cheating—vote harvesting , dead people voting , etc.—giving the Dems the biggest bang for their ill-gotten buck .
And as of Friday the 13th of November , audits of the computerized cheating showed 500,000 votes were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this means at least a fraudulent 1,000,000 vote windfall for Biden in swing states , courtesy of the Dominion software tamperers .
We know Leftists are big on redistributing the wealth—well here ’ s the counterpart : redistributing the votes of the American people !
Donald Trump 2020 Hat ... Buy New $ 14.99 HAS TRUMP BEEN BOXED IN ?
As myriad claims of vote fraud emerge , including ballot counters tacking cardboard over their building ’ s windows so locked-out poll watchers couldn ’ t even see into the room , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dems are usually not this sloppy and obvious .
I can even imagine the great fictional detective Hercule Poirot saying to his sidekick , “ Ah , Hastings , do you not see ?
No , no , mon ami !
There are too many clues .
This fox , he wants to be caught !
” The Democrats ’ war-gaming of the election may go far beyond their flagrant vote fraud schemes .
In fact , I believe they plan to win regardless of the final result of this election .
Either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House , or as soon as Trump is inaugurated , if not before , they attempt a violent coup d ’ état , using the pretence that he stole the election—their old standby trick of accusing others of their own crimes .
So far , they ’ ve put Trump in the defensive position of having to challenge the vote fraud .
While it ’ s very likely he ’ ll win his case , since the facts and evidence are all on his side , what next ?
Do we transition into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our President finally drain the swamp before it succeeds in swallowing him up ?
After all , we know that Trump won this election .
In 2016 he ended up with 304 electoral votes to Crooked Hllary ’ s 227 , having received 63 million votes in the general election .
This time ‘ round he has at least 74 million—10 million more—not counting the millions of votes the Dems stole from him .
With Trump more popular than ever , and Basement Biden an even weaker candidate than Hillary was , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump with 400 electoral votes to Biden ’ s 140—a landslide win .
The Left knows this , too .
That ’ s exactly why they ’ ve instructed their propaganda machine , aka the mainstream media , to hammer home the “ fact ” that Biden won .
Recall that they began election season claiming polls showed Biden was the runaway favorite with a double-digit lead .
And on November 7th , with major irregularities in all the swing states emerging and no real final count , they blithely announced Biden as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... Buy New $ 20.01 They even got their pals in the UK and elsewhere to congratulate Biden !
Vladimir Putin is one of the few leaders who says he ’ ll wait to find out who won .
Even the New World Order Pope has congratulated the poseur .
You can ’ t read a newspaper or listen to a newscast without hearing about “ President-elect Biden.
” Huh ?
We ’ re not done counting votes let alone certifying them , and Trump ’ s team has only begun to fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We ’ re still a couple of weeks away from the Electors voting , yet millions of Americans believe Biden has won the election .
This does not bode well .
The astonishing in-your-face election psy-op taking place is in many ways analogous to that of the Covid Plandemic .
The globalist cabal took the virus that causes the common cold—and for most people , Covid is not much worse than a cold—and turned it into a mechanism for upending our liberty .
For their nefarious purpose they had plenty of help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK , Italy , etc .
Remember all those scary videos of people dropping in the street ?
It ’ s difficult for most people to doubt Big Media ’ s show-and-tell .
This is the effect , praised by Goebbels during the Third Reich , of the Big Lie .
The more outrageous the lie , and the more often it ’ s repeated , the more readily people will accept it as true .
And millions of Americans are now primed to believe that Biden won this all-important election .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his cabinet !
I personally think Trump made a mistake in allowing Biden access to funds for his “ transition.
” POTUS did this to protect General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy from the harassment and death threats she was getting for refusing to release these funds .
Predictably , the Dems made hay out of this gesture , as CNBC crows that this concession , “ … marks one of the first clear indications of the Trump administration acknowledging defeat in the 2020 election.
” And here ’ s their headline , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden after Weeks of Delay.
” Give a Leftist an inch… You can see the Left ’ s evil genius at work in this quote by David Leonhardt of the New York Times : “ A sitting president has spent months telling lies about non-existent voter fraud .
Now that his re-election bid is in deep trouble…he has unleashed a new torrent of falsehoods , claiming that the other side cheated .
He has demanded the Supreme Court intervene to decide the election in his favor.
” Note the devious spin throughout this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President who ’ s telling the truth—there is evidence of massive vote fraud which his team has uncovered—and all he wants is a fair and honest election .
Nor could he “ demand ” the Supreme Court decide the election in his favor .
Could it be that “ journalists ” at the “ paper of record ” have never heard of the “ Separation of Powers ” ?
Trump Long Sleeve T-Sh ... Buy New $ 18.95 But let ’ s put all this in the context of Color Revolutions .
How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disputed election , followed by an insurrection .
Now imagine the headlines in the New York Times , the Washington Post , et al.
, and the coverage on CNN , MSNBC , etc .
when Trump is declared the winner : “ Trump Tries to Steal Election from Biden !
Refuses to Step Down !
” “ Millions Rioting in the Streets Protesting Trump Acting as Dictator !
” How about a few actual headlines from recent weeks ?
From Yahoo News : “ Trump defies election loss , Biden ignores him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ It ’ s an embarrassment ’ : Joe Biden responds to Donald Trump ’ s refusal to concede presidential race ” .
And here ’ s Yahoo News opening line from Friday , November 13th : “ The White House is planning for President Donald Trump to serve a second term despite his reelection loss , a top official said Friday.
” Or this : “ Trump has yet to concede nearly a week after US media announced that his Democratic challenger Joe Biden had defeated him in the November 3 presidential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playbook of Color Revolutions .
Recall also that back in August , Hillary herself helped set the stage with this remark : “ Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances.
” Um , Hillary , did you mean even if he lost ?
The New York TImes , perhaps the most blatant colluder in this psy-op , sent this headline into readers ’ email inboxes on November 12th : “ Good morning .
A president is trying to undo an election result : How would you describe that situation in another country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said “ Good morning.
” And here ’ s a warning from Rick Hasen , an “ election law expert ” from UC Irvine , who opines that if judges allow Republican legislatures to overturn Biden ’ s supposed victory , “ it would provoke massive social unrest .
… I think it would be the end of American democracy as we know it.
” That “ massive unrest ” is exactly the threat .
Well , one of the threats .
See Part 2 of this article for the Deep State ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d be remiss not to include this gem from the statists in the UK : “ America has chosen Joe Biden ... to be the 46th president of the United States .
The American people have disavowed four years of a thuggish presidency .
They have chosen decency over dysfunction , fact over fiction , truth over lies , and empathy over cruelty .
They have rejected the last four years of ugliness , divisiveness , racism and sustained assaults on constitutional democracy .
And even as Trump plots legal challenges and levies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear America is moving on.
” We The People Holsters ... Buy New $ 28.99 We the People who love our Republic , also hope America is moving on—but in the opposite direction : away from the Left ’ s sabotage , sedition and treason , to a restoration of justice , liberty and the pursuit of happiness once more .
It ’ s not over till it ’ s over .
Four More Years !
While there ’ s proof aplenty that this election was stolen from President Trump through rampant , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead us to the same conclusion .
For instance , which do you think most people would vote for : Opening our country back up for business , work , school , entertainment , sports , community , celebrations and gatherings of all kinds , while making America prosperous and great again – or tax increases , mandatory mask-wearing , nationwide lockdowns , more small business closures , more bankruptcies of our favorite restaurants , theaters , concert halls , and sports venues , plus our energy sector in the crosshairs and socialized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promised a “ dark winter ” ?
That ’ s the choice between Trump and Biden .
Which candidate do you think won ?
Me , too .
By now the felonious Deep State coup plotters are so desperate , that If Trump is officially re-elected , they might well attempt a putsch to throw him bodily out of the White House .
Should Trump win , you can be sure the Dems will be screaming that he stole the election and will proceed full tilt with their Color Revolution plans .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and who knows what reinforcements and weaponry are also at their disposal .
Money ’ s no object for them , and they ’ re playing for all the marbles .
They intend to kneecap Trump to achieve their ultimate goal : the takeover of America .
What with Covid wreaking havoc with our citizenry and our economy , and both Biden and radical Leftist Kamala waiting in the wings ready to do their bidding , they must surely see this as their golden opportunity for a full court press .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the internet that POTUS may be in train to checkmate the Deep State fraudsters before they can do the same to him .
What is certain is that one side or the other will triumph in this winner-take-all battle for our Republic .
American patriots are longing to see justice enacted , as we ’ ve been watching seditious criminals remain at large for far too long .
With stakes this high , and both sides essentially fighting for survival , it ’ s not hard to imagine a battle encircling the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For four years , President Trump has presided over a rogue DOJ , rogue FBI , rogue CIA , rogue DHS , and various other rogue intelligence agencies seeded with Obama holdovers .

Let ’ s hope he ’ s not done cleaning house , though .
As of December 1st , we learned that Attorney General Bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as he announced he sees no evidence of vote fraud that would change the election results .

Is he going to take some type of military action ?

HAS TRUMP BEEN BOXED IN?
As myriad claims of vote fraud emerge, including ballot counters tacking cardboard over their building’s windows so locked-out poll watchers couldn’t even see into the room, the thought struck me that even the Dems are usually not this sloppy and obvious. I can even imagine the great fictional detective Hercule Poirot saying to his sidekick, “Ah, Hastings, do you not see? No, no, mon ami! There are too many clues. This fox, he wants to be caught!” The Democrats’ war-gaming of the election may go far beyond their flagrant vote fraud schemes. In fact, I believe they plan to win regardless of the final result of this election. Either Biden stumbles his way into the White House, or as soon as Trump is inaugurated, if not before, they attempt a violent coup d’état, using the pretence that he stole the election—their old standby trick of accusing others of their own crimes.
So far, they’ve put Trump in the defensive position of having to challenge the vote fraud. While it’s very likely he’ll win his case, since the facts and evidence are all on his side, what next? Do we transition into four more years of MAGA and can our President finally drain the swamp before it succeeds in swallowing him up? After all, we know that Trump won this election. In 2016 he ended up with 304 electoral votes to Crooked Hllary’s 227, having received 63 million votes in the general election. This time ‘round he has at least 74 million—10 million more—not counting the millions of votes the Dems stole from him. With Trump more popular than ever, and Basement Biden an even weaker candidate than Hillary was, we should expect something in the neighborhood of Trump with 400 electoral votes to Biden’s 140—a landslide win.
THE LEFT’S ELECTION PSY-OP
The Left knows this, too. That’s exactly why they’ve instructed their propaganda machine, aka the mainstream media, to hammer home the “fact” that Biden won.

Part II
While there’s proof aplenty that this election was stolen from President Trump through rampant, egregious fraud, plain common sense might lead us to the same conclusion. For instance, which do you think most people would vote for: Opening our country back up for business, work, school, entertainment, sports, community, celebrations and gatherings of all kinds, while making America prosperous and great again – or tax increases, mandatory mask-wearing, nationwide lockdowns, more small business closures, more bankruptcies of our favorite restaurants, theaters, concert halls, and sports venues, plus our energy sector in the crosshairs and socialized medicine on the horizon—all the while being promised a “dark winter”? That’s the choice between Trump and Biden. Which candidate do you think won? Me, too.

Should Trump win, you can be sure the Dems will be screaming that he stole the election and will proceed full tilt with their Color Revolution plans. They have their mercenary shock troops waiting, and who knows what reinforcements and weaponry are also at their disposal. Money’s no object for them, and they’re playing for all the marbles. They intend to kneecap Trump to achieve their ultimate goal: the takeover of America. What with Covid wreaking havoc with our citizenry and our economy, and both Biden and radical Leftist Kamala waiting in the wings ready to do their bidding, they must surely see this as their golden opportunity for a full court press.
However, there’s some good news circulating on the internet that POTUS may be in train to checkmate the Deep State fraudsters before they can do the same to him. What is certain is that one side or the other will triumph in this winner-take-all battle for our Republic. American patriots are longing to see justice enacted, as we’ve been watching seditious criminals remain at large for far too long. With stakes this high, and both sides essentially fighting for survival, it’s not hard to imagine a battle encircling the Tree of Liberty as at our founding.
THE SWAMP FIGHTS BACK
For four years, President Trump has presided over a rogue DOJ, rogue FBI, rogue CIA, rogue DHS, and various other rogue intelligence agencies seeded with Obama holdovers. POTUS recently removed James Anderson, Acting Director of Policy Planning in the DoD, followed by the firing of quisling Mark Esper as Secretary of Defense along with his chief of staff. Let’s hope he’s not done cleaning house, though. As of December 1st, we learned that Attorney General Bill Barr is playing for the other team, as he announced he sees no evidence of vote fraud that would change the election results. That’s two feckless attorneys general in a row. The Swamp runs deep.
SEVEN DAYS IN DECEMBER?
The President and his team ought to huddle around a big-screen TV to revisit the classic film from 1964, “Seven Days in May,” which, if you’ve never seen, you owe it to yourself to watch—and not just for the excellent acting and gripping story. A decorated General, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, organizes a military coup against the sitting president. Incidentally, our own current head of the Joint Chiefs, General Milley, recently made this statement: “We are unique among militaries. We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or religion. We take an oath to the Constitution.” So if push comes to shove, apparently General Milley would shove out the President.
Um, Mark, doesn’t the Constitution vest the powers of the Executive branch in the President, and isn’t he your Commander-in-Chief? If you disagree with his policies, isn’t the appropriate response to tender your resignation? And General Milley, isn’t the point that the Constitution undergirds our Republic, so when you swear to protect it, you’re swearing to protect our country from enemies foreign and domestic? The Constitution represents the rule of law in our nation. The last time I looked, the office of the president was featured rather prominently in our founding document. Before you set yourself up as a staunch defender of the Constitution, General, perhaps you ought to read it.
That reminds me, here’s the latest gem from former head of the CIA, John Brennan:
“I’m very concerned what he [Trump] might do in his remaining 70 days in office. Is he going to take some type of military action? Is he going to release some type of information that could, in fact, threaten our national security interests? If Vice President Pence and the cabinet had an ounce of fortitude and spine and patriotism, I think they would seriously consider invoking the 25th Amendment and pushing Donald Trump out because he is just very unpredictable now.”
Brennan may be reacting to the specter of the noose, as his remarks followed hard upon Donald Trump Jr.’s tweet: “Declassify everything!!!”
And while we’re sampling treasonous assertions, take a look at this one, reported by SkyNews Australia:
“Two retired army officers are urging General Mark Milley– the highest-ranking military officer in the US – to remove President Donald Trump from office if he refuses to leave when his term ends. In an open letter published in Defense One, John Nagl and Paul Yingling warned President Trump could trigger a ‘once-unthinkable scenario of authoritarian rule’ and ‘America’s greatest Constitutional crisis since the Civil War.’ ‘If Donald Trump refuses to leave office at the expiration of his constitutional term, the United States military must remove him by force, and you must give that order.’”
As far as I’m concerned, General Milley needs to hear two words from the President, “You’re fired!”
Spoiler alert: In “Seven Days in May,” good triumphs over evil. Let’s hope and pray, but let’s also do all we can to make sure good triumphs on our watch as well, as we fight to shore up our beleaguered Republic. If not it will be a Dark Winter indeed.

Note that none of this is organic – the result of market forces, of people freely choosing that it makes sense. Instead it is being forced on the people, to thwart their free choice – of a piece with the “mandates” to wear the Holy Rag and (soon) the “mandate” to submit to a vaccination.
To several vaccinations – as there will be more than just one, once the principle is normalized that it is acceptable to force people to submit to this injection. To believe it will be limited to just this injection is to believe that allowing the government to tax one thing won’t mean it will tax other things.

These e-bikes, like pedal bikes, can only go so far – and not very fast. Most are limited to a speed about as fast a man can run – about 15 MPH – and have a range of about 20 miles.
This makes it hard to run away on one.
They also have the “advantage” – from a certain perspective – of being largely unusable in poor weather due to the exposure of the rider to the cold and wet and the inherent danger of riding anything on two wheels on the snow and ice.

The Trouble With Authoritie

The most important thing about qualified immunity is who qualifies , especially for those who don ’ t .
If your job and pension are recession proof , minimum performance bar is too low to trip over and you can hold your clientele in contempt then—as a public employee—you qualify .

Supposedly , serious legal arguments exist supporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunity .
Why else would US courts accept it ?
None of them though , are able to answer this question : How can amendments 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 7 , 8 , and 9 have any efficacy while this legal impediment is heeded in a court ?
It ’ s like trying to prosecute theft without established property rights .
Everybody knows the potential consequences to a neighbor who punches you in the face for voicing unappreciated opinions .

The reasoning of the court went that cops aren ’ t soldiers and it isn ’ t “ quartering ” unless the uninvited occupants spend the night .
This complex case and the ruling on it provide a litany of the symptoms manifested in despotic disease .
No one imagined the constable taking over your home to spy on a neighbor 230 years ago .
The sane ones among us—don ’ t rule in the Federal bench–are flabbergasted by the idea today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , mostly federal ones , are their treatments of clearly pathological and criminal behaviors by law enforcement as trivial misunderstandings .
When a man ’ s home is demanded whimsically , from a local official with petty credentials and little potential culpability , and then he is physically attacked with enormous , pain-inducing force followed by captivity , the spirit of the bill of rights is crushed .
Is it even necessary to consider the how perversely un-American the goal of this “ tactic ” was in the first place ?
Never mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or where the 9th fits in .

In the first place , the exception was only denied on appeal .
Secondly , none of the officers was charged with anything criminal in the matter .

The most important thing about qualified immunity is who qualifies, especially for those who don’t. If your job and pension are recession proof, minimum performance bar is too low to trip over and you can hold your clientele in contempt then—as a public employee—you qualify. When you have nothing to fear from working stiffs who might be afraid of missing car payments or being turned out on the streets in a market whipsaw–it is silly to consider yourself “equal.” Just as when dealing with landlords, banks and employers—the protected and served had better stay on your good side.
The unfake newsologists, who report looting, arson and riot as kinds of philanthropic community service, give qualified immunity a wide berth as a general rule. If anyone succeeded making cops accountable it could deliver a mortal wound to the social justice industry. The business of concern for human suffering requires a steady supply of victims in the pipeline.
Merino wool blanket, C... Buy New $50.00 (as of 05:09 UTC - Details) Mainstream media wears us down with daily bait and switch. That’s why, on occasion, one of them makes rhetorical contact with reality. This time it’s a scribe high enough up the food chain to leave butt prints on executive commode seats. With the column “The Crazy Fat Lady fights police impunity”, George F. Will noticed this malign cancer metastasizing on American justice. Before anyone gives Will, or his syndicator The Washington Post Writers Group, too much credit, keep in mind—it didn’t take a political MRI to see this deadly tumor—30 years ago.
Supposedly, serious legal arguments exist supporting the “principle” known as qualified immunity. Why else would US courts accept it? None of them though, are able to answer this question: How can amendments 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 have any efficacy while this legal impediment is heeded in a court? It’s like trying to prosecute theft without established property rights.
Everybody knows the potential consequences to a neighbor who punches you in the face for voicing unappreciated opinions. Statutes were clear enough on that in 1790 before a ten point codicil was added to the constitution. Laws to restrain ordinary people from busting doors down and rifling the contents of other people’s homes had been on the books for generations. Courts, jails, pillories and gallows were in ready use to deal with such offenders.
Are there schools of historical or constitutional thought that SCOTUS hasn’t told us about? Do we have the first ten amendments to protect us from common felons? If not who, or what, can the bill-of-rights be aimed at other than agents of the state? The SCOTUS acceptance of “qualified immunity” as legal principle is an erasure of the constitutions’ most precious guarantees. The whole purpose of them was a leash on government, particularly its use of violence and coercion. If a policeman faces no penalty from criminal court after assaulting your person, silencing you or upending or seizing your belongings unjustifiably—and you can’t sue–what value is contained in any “right”? Even if damages are paid, when they come out of public coffers, how does that provide negative reinforcement to prevent assaults in future cases? Jurists, known for such effete hyper-sensitivity to courtroom affronts, cavalierly dismiss any personal offense suffered by innocent people in government clutches on the street.

Cockney enlisted men were put up in Boston homes against the wishes of their owners in the Intolerable Acts. While SCOTUS has never handed down a ruling explicitly based in the 3rd amendment lower Federal Courts have. Did they miss the fact that British troops acted as police on Boston streets, during peacetime, in the 1770’s? In Anthony Mitchell v. City of Henderson Federal Judge Andrew Gordon refused to entertain a 3rd amendment violation. This was a case of police seizing two homes, owned by a father and son, for use as “tactical” advantages against a third. They had no warrants, probable cause or even a reasonable expectation the suspect, in another dwelling, was dangerous. He left his door open and invited the cops in—but instead they invaded two other homes? The reasoning of the court went that cops aren’t soldiers and it isn’t “quartering” unless the uninvited occupants spend the night.
This complex case and the ruling on it provide a litany of the symptoms manifested in despotic disease. No one imagined the constable taking over your home to spy on a neighbor 230 years ago. The sane ones among us—don’t rule in the Federal bench–are flabbergasted by the idea today. The most profound failures of courts, mostly federal ones, are their treatments of clearly pathological and criminal behaviors by law enforcement as trivial misunderstandings. When a man’s home is demanded whimsically, from a local official with petty credentials and little potential culpability, and then he is physically attacked with enormous, pain-inducing force followed by captivity, the spirit of the bill of rights is crushed. Is it even necessary to consider the how perversely un-American the goal of this “tactic” was in the first place?
Never mind the particular words of the third amendment or where the 9th fits in. The Crown only pushed Bostonians around to save money—the Henderson and Las Vegas police do it for the sake of pushing people around. Any LEO capable of participating in such an action as happened to the Mitchells has a character undistinguishable from the most violent kind of felon.
Where, any conscientious observer must ask, is the sense of moral outrage and public duty on the part of the “honorable” justice Gordon? Not to mention hundreds of other robed facilitators turning their backs on human decency? What kind of judicial mind fails to feel the seething, righteous rage of the Mitchell family? It can only be one borne of an entitled class fearing a commonality to be kept at bayonet’s length.
Qualified immunity, in theory, only protects the “qualified” from civil culpability. The reality, however, is that as long as police are only subject to indictment by prosecutors who practically represent law enforcement—civil action is as close to justice as an aggrieved citizen is likely to get—often including instances of murder.

Jay Schweikert cites Shenandoah County Sheriff Timothy C. Carter in his Cato Institute article “Blatant Misrepresentation of Qualified Immunity by Law Enforcement.” A passage from Carter’s op-ed that doesn’t appear in Schweikert’s article is supposed to reassure us of cop accountability before the bar.
“The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently denied the defense of qualified immunity when five West Virginia law enforcement officials stopped a homeless man for jaywalking, tased him four times, hit him in the brachial plexus, placed him in a choke hold, kicked him, and fired at him 22 times, killing him. There have been numerous other cases where qualified immunity was denied for extreme misconduct by government officials.”
When the sheriff must resort to a case this shocking to ordinary human sensibility to make his point how can anyone be reassured? In the first place, the exception was only denied on appeal. Secondly, none of the officers was charged with anything criminal in the matter. In another case, where qualified immunity was granted, a man was assaulted, taken into custody, booked on false charges and held for days. His only offense was standing outside his own home. The cops’ only defense was they weren’t keen on the neighborhood.
Qualified immunity has excepted cases involving grand theft, shooting children wantonly, murder, mauling compliant subjects with dogs, every kind of assault imaginable—it is impossible to cite it all here because no single database on the matter exists. Neither our legislative nor executive branches require precise logs by armed employees on the use of force. Media entities, apparently, have no desire to maintain organized records out of what is presently publicly available either. It saves their op-ed writers from the inconvenience of reckoning with the facts.
This is part of wider pattern of government and media unaccountability. The people at large, theoretical owners of every government office, desk, laptop, filing cabinet and notepad, are consistently deprived of details vital to common safety and public interest. American rulers and their minions have taken proprietary control of public assets and information. As long as this seizure remains uncontested our government and its employees are a de facto superior class—with rights no one else can aspire to. Media has looked idly on for at least 30 years—Ruby Ridge, Donald Scott and the Waco incident occurred in a time slot of 6 months—the Rodney King verdict came 4 months earlier. SWAT raids, intimidating street tactics and police militarization were steadily ramped up with every year that followed—and hardly noted anywhere for the next two decades. Christmas Gifts for Wo...

The first necessary step in accountability is very simple: comprehensive accounting that is available to everyone. People who seek the professional responsibility of applying force are entitled to zero privacy applying it. Any law enforcement omission of detail dealing with human subjects must be rendered a criminal offense—potentially felonious.
A lengthy, grotesque and all-encompassing table of serial abuse of the served and protected has yet to be compiled. Major media has the resources, how many lists of supposed Trump mistruths are available? If cops can’t even keep up with the slippery “standards” journalists maintain “defunding” really needs consideration. A record of your laptop’s every keystroke lingers somewhere in Alphabet Corporation files. But where is a chronological, inclusive site detailing the scope of government unaccountability? We live in a time when teeming arsenals of snoopware pore over our every word and deed by the moment. What—with present technology—stands in the way of a microscope that looks back? Gathering the simplest details of LEO contact with the public requires laborious, elaborate effort—with no guarantee of success. Meanwhile, what they’ve got on you is as handy as getting a number out of an old rolodex.
The people of the United States are entitled to regularly updated information on the state of authority and enforcement in this union. That would start with a publicly accessible record of every instance of official action with a subject. Almost every business in the US maintains that data pace. Every search—including pat downs—must be recorded, along with a report of finds. Isn’t it far past time we found out how often our protectors fail to turn up pay dirt? If contraband is not produced with high percentage consistency then it is clear the standards of “probable cause” need tightening. We have easy and affordable means of retaining audio-visual records of every traffic stop that takes place in the US.
Whenever an officer finds physical contact, of any kind, necessary—the public is entitled to knowledge of all identities involved—as well as justification of necessity The rough justice of Alexander Williams has plagued the lowly long enough. Bullying with a badge is a serious criminal offense—it has been confused with a union negotiated fringe benefit since before the Civil War.
We need exhaustive examination on the deployment of SWAT raids, including their justifications, locations, times of day, ages and sexes of subjects within the targeted space, arrests made, property damaged or seized, injuries caused and timely, exacting information on the further disposition of the case or cases involved. Otherwise we have no conception of the necessity or justification of such actions. Lacking such knowledge prosecutorial abettors can simply let egregious cases fade away—as media does its usual due diligence. Omissions—again—must be statutorily rendered criminal offenses—prosecuted by lawyers without interests mutual to law enforcement professionals.
Easy, timely access to details of police shootings, assaults, killings and other destructive acts is vital to the public’s capability of appropriate response to government. Any trigger happy or excessively physical lawman has earned a spotlight. This isn’t remotely radical it is common sense. We should require a few minimal precautions before our beloved government gets to beat us to a pulp or kill us. When courts continually treat such incidents as trivial misunderstandings—only a brainwashed fanatic can have any concept of “equality” with the servants mastering him.
