The FBI Finds Its Right Wing Terrorist Group

The Deep State has been looking for a high profile right wing terrorist group.  They claim they have found it. 


FBI Director Christopher Wray warned lawmakers that Russian election interference and violent white supremacist groups rank among the top threats to U.S. national security.  He told lawmakers that “racially-motivated violent extremism” remains the top domestic threat in the U.S and white supremacist-type ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that.”  When questioned about Antifa Wray testified “Antifa is a real thing.  It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology, maybe one way of thinking of it." Representative Chrenshaw responded that Wray "seems to me to be downplaying it.”  He remarked that “This is an ideology that has trained its members, makes shield wall phalanxes to attack federal officers, formed an autonomous zone in an American city and besieged a federal courthouse in another. So, I mean, it just seems to be more than an ideology.”  Congressman Van Drew told Wray, “In my mind, there is Antifa, there is a group — a group or individuals that control Antifa and have some authority over it. And it is to some degree, without question, organized.”


The Congressmen's concerns were seconded by Senator Rand Paul.  Senator Paul and his wife  were threatened by rioters after leaving President Trump's acceptance speech.  He claimed, "We’re seeing these people some of the same faces are in Portland, Kenosha, D.C. Louisville.  How are they getting there. They’re staying at the w hotel the Willard hotel.  The Willard hotel might be 500 to a 1,000 a night.  Who’s paying for them to stay at the Willard hotel? Who’s paying for them to have air flight? Who’s paying them to do this?  And here’s the sad truth of it.  It’s probably not gonna be a sinister name like George Soros it’s going to be corporate America.  Corporate America is giving money to Black Lives Matter."  Senator Paul's assertion is backed up by the in Kenosha, Wisconsin police department that reported 102 of the 175 individuals arrested as part of the riots were residents of another city.  


Yet the focus of the FBI remains on "white supremacists."  Like CNN reporters who babble about peaceful protests while fires rage in the background, Wray and his FBI are oblivious when it come to left-wing violence.  The FBI has circulated a bulletin claiming, “Based upon current information, we assess the greatest threat of lethal violence continues to emanate from lone offenders with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist ideologies and [domestic violent extremists] with personalized ideologies.”  The bulletin makes only one brief mention of Antifa.  The Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin was asked by Tucker Carlson, "Who are these people?"  Sherman responded, "with some of these individuals there's a loose affiliation with some extremist groups on the left and on the right."  Tucker asked him, "What right wing groups are they affiliated with and what percentage are from the right?  Sherwin claimed he didn't have the data and he didn't "want to pidgeonhole any specific group."  

 

Finally there is a group that can be pidgeonholed.  The Wolverine Watchmen have come to the rescue.  The FBI announced that it had made arrests of several “right-wing terrorists” who were plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.  This was a perfect opportunity for the Governor to attack the President.   Whitmer claimed, "Hate groups heard the president's words not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry, a call to action."  Trump was chastised again for not denouncing the far right vehemently enough.  According to the NY Daily News, "Trump and Barr have all but ignored an explosion of far-right violence across the country."


We know that this group is right wing because one of its members posted several videos on TikTok.  In one of them was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, the trademark clothing of members of the right wing antigovernment Boogaloo movement.  Also what appeared to be a Confederate flag could be seen near the home on one of the members.  In addition some of the Wolverine Watchmen apparently made pro-Trump tweets.  


There are several problems with the FBI's allegations.  First the is the question of the FBI's credibility.  We may also be advised to check our wardrobes for any right-wing clothing.  A leader of the group, Brandon Caserta, produced a video with an Antifa flag in the background.  One of the group's goals is to attack on police.  This is a popular cause of the left.  A flag only "appears' to be a Confederate flag.  Perhaps it was actually a Norwegian flag.  The two are sometimes confused.  Another member, Adam Fox, sounding like the 19th Century anarchist, Sergie Nechaev, stated “I just wanna make the world glow, dude. I’m not even f***in’ kidding. I just wanna make it all glow dude. I don’t f***in’ care anymore, I’m just so sick of it. That’s what it’s gonna take for us to take it back, we’re just gonna have to everything’s gonna have to be annihilated man. We’re gonna topple it all, dude. It’s what great frickin’ conquerors, man, we’re just gonna conquer every f***in’ thing man.”


The Wolverine Watchmen's true allegiance will eventually be determined by the slueths of the internet  Their findings will probably not make the headlines and it is unlikely any revelations will effect the election.

The Takedown of Brad Parscale






Trump advisor Brad Parscale was arrested by police after a 911 call from his wife claiming that he was suicidal.  There are sections of the police reports and media coverage that reveal an unmistakable bias.  Therefore it is advisable to be a little skeptical about what is being reported.


The CNN reports begins with Jim Acosta describing the video of the arrest as a “disturbing video.”  One news source that calls itself "The Independent" has a headline, "Former Trump campaign staffer Brad Parscale wrestled to ground by police after armed standoff."  NBC News reported, "police yelled 'get on the ground' five times, and he didn't comply."  CNBC reported, "authorities took a suicidal Parscale to a hospital for evaluation."  They quote a police report that Parscale, "was very agitated with the situation and I could smell a strong odor from his breathe and body that I recognized to possibly be from alcoholic beverages. Bradley`s speech was slurred as though he was under 


the influence of an alcoholic beverage and he seemed to be crying.” Quoting to police report, CNBC reported, Parscale “appeared aggressive as he consistantly [sic] spoke in a yelling and highly agitated tone and would not meet with officers away from his residence.” According to the media Parscale disturbed, suicidal, very agitated and aggressive. His speech was slurred, he was yelling and may have been crying.  It was an armed standoff where he was told to get down five time before he was subdued.

 

The problem with the media coverage is that none of it can be proven with the exception of the fact that he was drinking alcohol.  Parscale may have been suicidal in which case he missed a perfect opportunity by not coming out of his house armed.  It is unlikely that Jim Acos
ta would be disturbed by the video or anything else that might discredit the Trump Administration.  Parscale owned weapons but the only suggestion that he handled them was his wife’s accusation.  In any case he exited his house in a pair of shorts without a shirt and nowhere to conceal a weapon.  NBC reports that “as he walked out, police yelled "get on the ground" five times, and he didn't comply.”  The video reveals that as he was explaining his side of the story to an officer when an officer to his right yelled “get on the ground” four times in rapid succession.  Before he could respond he was tacked and handcuffed. He was in fact told five times to “get on the ground,” however, the fifth time the command was issued he was already on the ground.  At this point he did appear agitated.


Parscale was understandably reluctant to leave his house which was surrounded by a SWAT team.  Situations like this often do not end well.  Sgt. Matthew Moceri reveals why some police have a low opinion of police officers.  Moceri's report reads, "I initiated a double leg takedown.  I lowered my level and wrapped both arms around the subject's lower body while applying forward pressure to his mid section with my forehead."  This stature challenged officer is proud of the fact that he tackled the 6-foot-6 Parscale.  He has no business being a LEO.  Parscale should have told the police that he would be happy to come out after he spoke with his attorney.  If his attorney advised him to exit he would be happy to do so.


NBC reported, “The wife of President Donald Trump's former campaign chief Brad Parscale feared he was suicidal.”  She was so concerned that she called a SWAT team to help him rather than a social worker.  Parscale may have been suicidal.  He may have beaten his wife.  He may have intended to visit a mall and commit mass murder.  And then there is another possibility.  Comedian Chris Rock warns in his video, "How not to get your ass kicked by the police!" that, "A mad woman will say anything.   If your woman is mad at you there's nothing she'd like to see more than you getting your a** kicked."

Roll Over Beethoven








The man that hath no music in himself, 

Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils


Recently Vox magazine published an article claiming that Beethoven’s most famous work was a symbol of "exclusion and elitism."  The authors claim that "wealthy white men . . . embraced Beethoven and turned his 5th symphony into a symbol of their superiority and importance."  They claim "For others — women, LGBTQ+ people, people of color — Beethoven’s symphony is predominantly a reminder of classical music’s history of exclusion and elitism."  Apparently Beethoven’s symphony was transformed from a symbol of triumph and freedom into a symbol of "exclusion, elitism, and gatekeeping."  Beethoven has been under attack for decades.  In 1995 professor Susan McClary of UCLA won a MacArthur Foundation's "genius grant" for her work criticizing the composer.  She claimed, "the pelvic pounding in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony adds up to nonorgasmic rape."  She heard, "the throttling, murderous rage of a rapist incapable of attaining release." The 1994 MacArthur winner Adrienne Rich had a somewhat difference view believing Beethoven was thinking about impotence.  She described him as a "man in terror of impotence/or infertility, not knowing the difference."





Classical music critic James Bennett II reveals the actual reason for opposition to Beethoven: “As you perpetuate the idea that the giants of the music all look the same, it conveys to the other that there’s not a stake in that music for them.”  Beethoven is one of those dangerous Dead While Males.  Anthony McGill, one of the few Black musicians with the New York Philharmonic claims, “we’re not promoting any of the composers alive today that are trying to become the Beethovens of their day.”  Are the Beethovens of today being neglected?  They are certainly not shunned by the political class.  In an MTV interview, John Kerry claimed to be “fascinated by rap and hip-hop," stating “there’s a lot of poetry in it.   I think you’d better listen to it pretty carefully, ‘cause it’s important.”  Al Gore reviewed a Mos Def CD: “Certainly, the artistry of the CD you gave me can’t be questioned”  In Dennis Kucinich's “Open Letter to the Hip-Hop Community” he states hip-hop listeners are “the leaders we have been waiting for.”  "I call upon the collective genius that gave the world the most innovative musical development in a quarter century to change the face of electoral politics."  Michelle Obama invited rapper Common to the White House.


Music company executives and award committees have done their best to promote the genre.  Promoters can be sensitive about their position.  Years ago William Bennett met with Time Warner executives.  Bennett responded to their defense of rap by saying "baloney."  Time Warner's chairman, Gerald M. Levin was offended by Bennett's language and walked out of the meeting.  Michael Fuchs, then chairman of Time Warner Music Group, claimed offensive lyrics are "the price you pay for freedom of expression."


Who are these modern Beethoven's?  There are hundreds of them and thousands more aspiring modern Mozarts.  Two examples should more than suffice.  The Huffpost describes rapper Ice Cube: “An actor, screenwriter, director, producer, rapper, and music producer, Ice Cube has become a modern day Renaissance man positioning himself as an influential force within the entertainment industry and one of his generation’s cultural icons.”  Kendrick Lamar became the first rapper to win a Pulitzer Prize.  What have these geniuses wrought?  Perhaps it's time to say, "Roll over Shakespeare." 


Ice Cube created this charming ditty, No Vaseline: "I remember when you drove a B-210 Broke as a mothaf**king joke Let you on the scene to back up the First Team  It ain't my fault, one nigga got smart  And they ripping your a**hole apart  By taking your green  Oh yeah, The Villlain does get f**ked with no vaseline."  Kendrick Lamar demonstrated similar talent in what the The Pulitzer board described as a "virtuosic song collection."  "Yeah, I need everybody's motherf**kin' hands up right now.  Wake up in the mornin', thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up.  Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up
Go hit you a lick, go f**k on a bitch.  Don't go to work today, cop you a fit"


A view of any orchestra reveals a significant number of females.  There is no way to determine the number of homosexuals, but chances are that they are well represented.  Perhaps Asians are not considered "people of color."  Reportedly 36 million Chinese children are studying the piano.  Would it be possible to organized 10,000 Americans to sing Beethoven's Ode to Joy as have the Japanese.  Beethoven's genius is resented by these hollow men, these headpieces filled with straw.  According to Jonathan Tobin "if audiences still prefer Beethoven, it’s not because they’re embracing a symbol of white supremacy."  Tobin concluded, "The war on Western civilization will leave nothing sacred untouched."  Duncan William in his book Trousered Apes explained, “the arts in general are very real, formative, social forces, moulding the face of the age while at the same time portraying it.”  If our age is being moulded by rap music we are in trouble.
