Criminal charges for Ray Epps?

Ray Epps's participation in the January 6 demonstrations was both more prominent and better documented than that of anyone else. Hundreds of other participants were charged and convicted, but not Epps. Is the DOJ charging him now to help him with his lawsuit against Fox?
"The theories surrounding that have led Epps to file a lawsuit against Fox News, claiming that he was defamed by Tucker Carlson. In a shocking turn of events, though, the lawsuit claims, as part of its case, that the DOJ has notified Epps that they will be seeking criminal charges against him," according to Red State.
The lawsuit would give Fox's legal team the opportunity do discovery and see if they can find out who Epps really works for. Somehow, I doubt they will take advantage of it. Fox agreed to pay Dominion a preposterous amount of money in damages not long ago, so it seems that their legal strategy is to roll over in the face of lawsuits supported by the establishment left.

If he drops the suit, that might be the end of it. Fox might even pay him $50 for his troubles. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 22:52, July 12, 2023 (EDT)

The MSM has tentatively begun subjecting the Biden family to scrutiny, but Epps remains a holy of holies. He was just a regular Trump-loving J6er who somehow got caught up in the Tucker Carlson smear machine, according to this preposterous article in today's Washington Post. As a student of the MSM, I can tell you that WaPo would never give Epps favorable coverage if they thought for a moment that he was a sincere Trump supporter.

RFK Jr is not an anti-Semite

The media is filled with wall-to-wall denunciations of RFK's supposed anti-Semitism. He claimed that the covid virus was “ethnically targeted” to spare Chinese and Jews. This is most likely a misunderstanding of a scientific study that he read, or so says Ben Shapiro. The man has spent his whole life providing no indication that he is in any way anti-Semitic. Now he is best-known for this incident. Its a dirty media attack modeled on the post-Charlottesville attacks on Trump's supposed pro-Nazi stance. We all say dumb things from time to time, don't we? An out-of-control media is twisting innocent comments back on its targets. PeterKa (talk) 21:59, July 18, 2023 (EDT)

Thoroughly disgusting, and it started in the Biden White House. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 22:18, July 18, 2023 (EDT)

RFK lost his father to Palestinian terrorism. This is what the New York Times thinks of him nowadays: "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Airs Bigoted New Covid Conspiracy Theory About Jews and Chinese." PeterKa (talk) 22:52, July 18, 2023 (EDT)

If he wanted to say that it just so happened that it targeted one group over another (nevermind the facts of thousands of Jews of all backgrounds that died of covid) but not that it was intentionally programmed by humans maliciously.... We can still all agree, that he wasn't careful to the dsensitivity of the most victimized group past present as a result of conspiracy theories... as tools for hate and genocide.Telling (talk) 00:04, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

This is blackmail. They're demanding she denounce him or she becomes a target, too. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 02:53, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

Nobody cares whether RFK is anti-Semitic or not -- or about any of his other opinions for that matter. He's crime is running against Biden in the primaries.

RFK gave a great speech about his uncle's negotiations with Khrushchev (the adults told him not to touch the hotline phone), the need for peace, and the war in Ukraine. He can keep the conspiracy demon at bay when he needs to. PeterKa (talk) 00:54, July 21, 2023 (EDT)

What is the Pentagon's "foundational sacred obligation"?

Did you think that the military was there to defend the United States and its constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic? Ha ha, the joke's on you. "Female family members being able to count on the kinds of healthcare, reproductive care specifically, that they need to serve, that is a foundational sacred obligation of military," according to White House spokesman John Kirby. The woke gods demand human sacrifice. Military facilities are banned from providing abortions under a law enacted in 1984. In the Biden era, that doesn't seem to slow them down.

WH destroys confiscated coke? Look! Trump!

The announcement that the Secret Service had destroyed the bag of coke found at the White House may be the biggest jaw dropper to come out of the Biden White House yet. No sooner was it made, than Special Counsel Jack Smith unveiled his "target letter" against Trump. Just a weird coincidence, I am sure. PeterKa (talk) 02:24, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

Sundance's latest

On the domestic front, excerpted: [2]

"The term ‘continuity of government‘ became much more common in the aftermath of 9-11-01 and the thunder shock of an al-Qaeda inspired terrorist attack in New York and Washington DC. Within the very brief discussion period that led up to the 10-26-01 Patriot Act, literally a structural reform of the entire domestic terrorist apparatus that created the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), a bill only debated for a few weeks, the baseline was the enhanced ‘continuity of government‘ in the event of an emergency. ...the outcome of the Patriot Act was to create a system where every American was now viewed by our federal government through the prism of the citizen being a potential terrorist threat. The federal government aligned all of our institutions and systems accordingly. DHS was created to monitor American behavior, the TSA was created to scan American travelers, and the FBI was enhanced with resources to conduct surveillance despite our Fourth Amendment protections within our constitution. Instead of the U.S. govt protecting U.S. citizens from foreign threats, the Patriot Act change the mission of government to protect itself from potential citizen threats. In essence, We the People became the suspects, and all of the constitutional viewpoints within the FBI and Dept. of Justice were modified to create monitoring systems. The legislative branch was considered part of a this newly protected elite class of Americans, and the judicial branch deferred all scrutiny to the executive as long as they claimed, ‘national security.’ The secret FISA court system would grant the agents surveillance power over U.S. citizens. As the foundation of this new surveillance state was just being finalized, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Eric Holder then entered government via the 2008 election, and weaponized this system to target their domestic political opposition.... ...it was the viewpoint of a very specific type of government “continuity” that led to the opposition against Donald Trump by democrats and republicans. Trump would be a disruptive influence if introduced into a continuation mission that did not like change. This ‘continuity’ mindset then established the justification for every institution and element of the bureaucracy, including almost all layers of the people who run them, to oppose Donald Trump. By the time the 2016 election arrives, We the People had already been defined by the Patriot Act outcome as a threat to government. If we the people did not select the right kind of candidate who would be approved by the continuity system, then our selection would be rejected by all of the operators of that administrative system....

Jake Driezin's latest

On the foreign policy front, excerpted: [3]

"In short, a Hegemon is a mob boss. You might be on his “soft side”, if he likes you, but he’s still the boss, with his fingers in every worthwhile pie in the borough. And, the boss DEFENDS HIS TURF. But, WHY? Why is maintaining Hegemony so important??? At the Government level, Hegemony provides for countless “job justifications”, career improvement prospects, bureaucratic “turf”, ego trip and legacy-building opportunities, sweet gigs and contracts for useless offspring (e.g. Biden’s and Kerry’s sons), etc. “Hegemony” means having Uncle Sam’s fingers EVERYWHERE… and that’s A LOT of jobs, and A LOT of budgets. At the private-sector level (i.e. for the “Daddy Warbucks” crowd), being bound “to protect our friends and allies against X country”, is, of course, extremely LUCRATIVE. We’re talking, tens of billions of dollars just to produce PowerPoints about weapons that never even make it to the prototype stage. Likewise, Washington, DC-area contractors getting paid millions of dollars to print and distribute kindergarten-level pamphlets about “democracy“, or to run Facebook pages or Twitter accounts to hype up protests in Iran or Belarus. It’s A LOT of money. (And, of course, there’s the famous “REVOLVING DOOR” between the civilian and military bureaucracy on the one hand, and the private sector as well as the nonprofits—thinktanks, the National Democratic Institute, etc.—on the other.) You with me, so far? Now, where is the “peace lobby”? Where is the lobby for non-intervention? THERE IS NONE. There’s no money in it. And, “peace” and “anti-imperialism” don’t turn people on, like abortion, getting Trump, or whatever. These concepts DID turn people on, at a mass level, in the late 1960s, through the 1980s. But, no longer. Most of those leftists are dead or co-opted. Just look at “AOC.” Retire your Grateful Dead T-shirts, those days are gone! Even the Democrat media that opposed the Vietnam War (only under Nixon, of course), now labels any dissident as radioactive, a Putin stooge. (As I’ve mentioned, we’re at a WW1 or WW2 level of propaganda.) Now, although the average household would be HUGELY harmed by a U.S.-China war (through extreme shortages of goods to include BASIC MEDICINES, etc., and I’m not even talking about nuclear war) that threat seems distant, vague, and doesn’t motivate working stiffs, or their save-the-world brats, or industry groups, or BILLIONAIRE POLITICAL DONORS. So, you have this interest group, that has NO CHECK OR BALANCE. It’s like some new species of algae, which chokes off a pond. It’s not like the “fossil fuels vs. renewables” battle, where even Team Biden might lay off the oil guys, when gasoline gets too expensive. It’s not “importers vs. domestic manufacturers”, however lopsided that one is. Here, there is NO OTHER SIDE. It’s like an amoeba-blob, that just keeps growing… and growing… and growing. It perceives no limit. It is funded by hypothetically-unlimited deficit spending of “global reserve currency” dollars. It doesn’t care what voters think. It doesn’t even care what politicians think. The normal, usual brakes, systemic feedback… ARE NOT THERE!!! Even worse, journalists, staff and Members of Congress, and presidential candidates, now understand they will be, literally, SPIED ON, if they threaten to restrict this blob in any way other than STRICTLY RHETORICAL. (“Dissident” journalists even get stopped at airports, nowadays.) No one wants to be another Trump, let alone, another Kennedy...

Biden allegations pile up

Will any of the latest scandals slow the Biden crime machine down? "Five most significant allegations against the Bidens in FBI FD-1023 form." We do get a juicy detail. Burisma boss Zlochevsky noted that Hunter was dumber than his dog. Hunter is the smartest guy Joe knows, remember? Zlochevsky's dog for president! We already have Joe's videotaped confession to the Viktor Shokin firing. I would thought that was a game-stopper, but somehow the fortunes of the Biden family march on. Bribery and scandal is Joe's brand. PeterKa (talk) 06:08, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

This stuff is so routine in DC, with Senators and House member's family and kids receiving kickbacks from appropriated funds, you can tell by the lack of reaction from members, bureaucrats, and journalists. They are bored stiff. The people to who this is news is the American people.

It was the same with the Clinton Foundation. Hillary pushed the "Russian Reset", rammed the Uranium One deal past Robert Mueller and CFIUS, took a $175 million commission from the sellers (Bill got a $500,000 commission from Putin and the buyers), and went back to being a Russophobe. Meanwhile, after the Russians purchased Uranium One fairly and squarely in the global capitalist free market, Obama & McCain steal it back with Russian sanctions. No wonder the Russians don't believe a word coming out of the mouth of American officials. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 09:47, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

They now have the bank records to show that Zlochevsky paid off Joe to fire Shokin. That gives us all the elements required for a bribery conviction. Perhaps it will matter when we get a Republican attorney general. PeterKa (talk) 10:55, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

I am going to step out on a limb and give a 45% chance that the CHS (Confidential Human Source) is J Cofer Black. Not saying it is or it isn't, just assigning a probability. What is known of the CHS? The CHS (a) does not speak Russian, (2) has deep connections in the US government. The character Alexandr Ostapenko is hard to trace, given it is a fairly common name in the Ruski Mir (there's even a cabinet minister in the Crimean government with the same name, but this Ostapenko is said to be working for the Zelensky regime. Another of Ostapenko's employers, Valery Vavilov, may give us insight into Ostapenko's skill set. Bankman-Fried is the No.2 richest cryptocurrency trader, and Vavilov is No.25.

If I remember rightly, Guiliani's records were about Burisma's payments to Hunter. Since "the Big Guy" got ten percent according to the laptop, we could do the math. The House records show disguised payments to Joe as well. PeterKa (talk) 22:52, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

Biden's dog

Didn't Biden have a dog that died a year ago or so who also bit Secret Service agents?

As a dog owner and lover, I can say dogs' behavior is a direct reflection of their owners. Dogs who are taught or encouraged to bite reflect owners with a lot of enemies and people who live in fear. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 16:51, July 26, 2023 (EDT)

"Owners of aggressive dogs were found to be more likely to have a history of antisocial behaviors and instances of animal abuse or neglect." - Psychology Today.[8]

It appears as if all the Biden family sexual harassment, hair sniffing, cocaine use, money laundering, bribery, human trafficking and boozing has come home to roost!

Given that German Shepherds are more likely to bite than some breeds such as Golden Retrievers, it's time that the Biden found a breed less likely to bite. Either that or clean up their act! Conservative (talk) 10:04, July 27, 2023 (EDT)
