    Sedition, not picnicking. Guess the rubes will bothsides this too.

    Federal prosecutors cited seditious conspiracy as a crime under investigation in a recent search that appears to be related to the US Capitol riot probe, according to a court do ent supporting the search.

    The move, made known through the iPhone search of the Oath Keepers-linked Texas lawyer Kellye SoRelle, again raises the possibility that the Justice Department could be considering use of the provocative charge.

    Ineresting article about how Europe and the US incubated radical Islamism throughout much of the 20th century as cat's paw against leftists and non-compliant secular states in the Middle East and South Asia.

    Bush told NYers the air safe was breathe and that they should resume shopping; first responders at ground zero were told not to wear masks because it might scare people.

    right winger Bill Clinton signed a bill in 1997 that was one of 5 strategic objectives of conservatives (preparing law enforcement for martial law when oligarchy/Repugs suspend Congress and install fascism): militarization of the police.

    "The 1033 program was ins uted in 1997

    under the Clinton administration amid pressure to bolster police forces’ ability

    to fight the war on drugs.

    It transfers the military’s extra or outdated gear to state and local authorities who apply for it, who are responsible only for the cost of shipping."

    https://www.marketplace.org/2020/06/12/police-departments-1033-military-equipment-weapons/

    9/11 gave law enforcement all the unchallengeable pretext it needed to "power up",

    then the Repugs, using 9/11 as pretext, created the show DHS army to violate the Cons utions's posse comitatus prohibition.

    Within Islam, OBL was widely denounced at the time of 9/11. The US invading Iraq changed the math.

    After Pouring Billions Into Militarization of U.S. Cops, Congress Weighs Limits

    Over the past two decades, many police departments have legally acquired guns and vehicles intended for military use in wartime combat. But the massive nationwide protests have made apparent how

    police can use this equipment against U.S. citizens in large cities and small towns alike.

    The transfers were limited under the Obama administration but re-expanded under President Donald Trump in 2017.

    $24.3B Grants allocated through DHS

    $7.4B Equipment value distributed through DoD

    A wise decision; 1/6 took the Capitol, in what; less than 2 hours, bouts?

    See, your way they'll not live in regret at not mowing them down like in the movies, then running to the CNN for gratification and to see when they get their medals.

    Seemed like an overreach at the time, and you could damn well see it outlasting the threat. Pretty much what happened.

    would have made more sense to retaliate against the KSA than Iraq, tbh.

    It might have, absent realpolitik concerns about attacking the worlds largest oil producer.
