Margot Cleveland: Emails In Case of Pro-Life Activist Targeted by FBI Stasi Raid Are Chilling

It couldn't get worse. Except it did.

Heffron, the lawyer for the pro-life activist whose home was swarmed by a Threat Level Omega force of SWAT-outfitted agents, had previously written to the prosecutor, Eve, that he would accept a summons for arrest.

Eve ignored that email and sent the stormtroopers.

Why accept a peaceable arrest when you can storm a home filled with children while brandishing overkill levels of firepower? The FBI has one playbook, and that playbook is Branch Davidian.*


First, Heffron's email to Eve, in which he noted he would "accept a summons on my client's behalf, rather put Mr. Houck and his family through needless disruption," was dated June 9, 2022, but Eve's sole response to that email came on Sept. 23, 2022 -- when Eve wrote Heffron to inform him that "this morning, [Houck] was taken into custody by FBI agents and is being transported to the Philadelphia FBI office for processing." So the first response Houck's attorney received from the U.S. attorney's office, following two phone calls and an email, came more than three months later to advise him that his client had already been arrested.

Professor Cleveland points out that this prosecutor, Eve, also handled some of the January 6 cases, and wonders if Eve might have been responsible for the Soviet police state tactics there as well.

She points out that this case is very weak: A similar case was dismissed by another federal judge.

In that case, the court held that a FACE Act claim could not succeed because there was no evidence that force was used "because" the escort was providing so-called reproductive health services. Instead, the force resulted from a "mutual argument" between the individuals. Stressing these legal principles, Heffron concluded his letter by suggesting that, particularly under the circumstances of the case, it "should not go forward."

In other words: Some federal laws criminalize an assault on a federal employee in the performance of his federal duties. But they don't criminalize any attack on a federal employee. A wife who murders her mailman husband is not subject to charges under laws against killing a federal officer in the course of his duties. She didn't kill him for that reason, to impede his duties. She just knocked off her husband.

Similarly, even if you grant the constitutionality of this law, which... I have doubts, it still only criminalizes pushing or hitting one of these escorts when he's actually in the process of doing the job of "escorting" abortion-seeking women to the clinic. It doesn't generally make anyone who gets into a fight with them subject to charges under federal law. You wouldn't be charged under F.A.C.E. if you got into a fight with one of these "escorts" over a dispute about a pool game. They're not surrounded permanently by a halo of federal protection, only when doing the specific thing the federal law (presumes, dubiously) to protect.

In this case, it seems to be the case that there was a mutual argument and Houck warned this guy to get out of his son's face. That was the cause of the pushing, not the "escorting." So this law just doesn't apply.

So this case is already very weak.

And they send in a battalion of black-clad M-16-toting SWAT agents to take down a pastor for pushing a guy when his seven young children are home to arrest him for this piece of shit charge that will probably be dismissed before it goes to trial?

Hey, remember when Andrew McCarthy and the rest of the Usual Suspects lined up as character witnesses behind Merrick Garland, vouching for his character and probity as beyond reproach? And castigating anyone who doubted him as a mere partisan ruffian and low-minded thug?

Professor Cleveland then reports the facts of the original police complaint, filed by the victim himself, comparing that to the New and Improved "facts" claimed by the DOJ. The original police complaint did not say that the "victim" was escorting anyone to an abortion center, and was only "waiting for clients," which disqualifies this case from a F.A.C.E. charge. The New and Improved DOJ "facts" now claim he already had two clients with him and was in the process of escorting them to the clinic -- strange he didn't remember that at the time of the incident. Maybe he was pushed so hard his brain stopped working for a while.

The original police report also says that this incident took place on a corner away from the abortion clinic. The DOJ complaint helpfully re-locates the incident to be "in front of" the abortion clinic.

Given the reputation the DOJ has earned as straight-arrow square-jawed Priests of Truth and Justice, you know which report I put my full faith and credit in.

The "victim" also didn't even show up for a required hearing iso n the state case you know this was a really serious "crime" in his mind. The case was rightly dismissed, so the DOJ swooped in to resurrect it.

Maybe they're lying about where the pushing took place to move it closer to the abortion clinic so that they can argue that even if he wasn't exactly escorting clients yet, hey, he was pretty close to the clinic, so... close enough for horse-shoes and hand-grenades, judge!

Read the whole thing.

Margot concludes that whatever happens, Biden and Merrick Garland -- who, remember, was vouched for by various members of Conservative, Inc. and the Company Men Faction of the GOP Establishment -- have gotten what they intended: they have intimidated their political opponents.

Because we now understand that we are being targeted by the State Secret Police.

Why do they want us to understand this?

You know why.

You know why they knock in the night.


* The FBI can lie and say "We sent in 40 agents in assault armor and full tactical weapons kit with 20 armored vehicles because we were afraid he would shoot at us if we didn't present overwhelming force."

This is a lie.

How do I know? Because his lawyer offered to accept a summons and turn his his client for a peaceable arrest and they refused this (by completely blowing the offer off).

If they were afraid of a violent confrontation, they would have accepted that option, wouldn't they have?

Was the FBI also afraid that Roger Stone would go Rambo on them?

Or did they just want the Hero Video on CNN?

The FBI must be defunded. There is no longer any question. There is no longer any argument.

I don't care about what "threats" it protects us against. They are a larger threat to the citizens of the United States than any "threat" they supposedly protect against.

I suppose this might have been the DOJ's call. But in that case, the FBI "followed orders."

And we all know about the Nuremberg Trials, don't we?

4 “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” - The Gulag Archipelago

This is a not a war with set piece battles between two massed armies, but rather a lot of small unit action through many small villages and forested areas.

181 sorry to go on but relevant chess stuff:

"Now, however, an investigation into Niemann’s play- conducted by Chess.com, an online platform where many top players compete - has found the scope of his cheating to be far wider and longer-lasting than he publicly admitted.

The report, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, alleges that Niemann likely received illegal assistance in more than 100 online games, as recently as 2020. Those matches included contests in which prize money was on the line. The site uses a variety of cheating-detection tools, including analytics that compare moves to those recommended by chess engines, which are capable of beating even the greatest human players every time.

The report states that Niemann privately confessed to the allegations, and that he was subsequently banned from the site for a period of time.

The 72-page report also flagged what it described as irregularities in Niemann’s rise through the elite ranks of competitive, in-person chess. It highlights “many remarkable signals and unusual patterns in Hans’ path as a player.”"

Airbursts are not as useful in tactical operations because theoretically they would be used to destroy massed tanks, fortifications, entrenched troops, and so on. Furthermore, it just might hit your own troops if you are not careful with it with emp pulses etc. Given the Russians are already having communication issues, that would not be advisable.

Most of the current battles seem also pretty spread out for nuclear weapons to be used that effectively compared to an artillery barrage.

I don't really have a dog in the fight but from what I have read, a lot of elite Russian divisions have been mauled in combat and they would be the most trained for it. Reservists and conscripts would be the ones least trained for it and it appears that these are being shoveled in as replacements for casualties rather than withdraw the elite Russian units for refit/R&R. Russia seems to be having the same issues that the US did around the time of the Battle of the Bulge. There was a real shortage of infantry due to attrition from DDAY onwards while there was plenty of aircraft, artillery, etc. As a result, raw recruits and other units were cannibalized to provide warm bodies to the infantry units. From all accounts on the ground, the newcomers were casualties at rates far greater than veteran troops.

For the last couple of months, the Russian forces (with a few exceptions, mainly by the mercs) have dug into fixed position in various towns and logistical hubs, and protected themselves from attack with artillery. They have left the areas in between open, however, probably due to a lack of manpower. Ukraine has attacked by using small unit tactics in out of the way areas and slowly encircling the fortified towns.. This is what happened in Lyman; the Russians had to abandon the position when the last road to it was about to be cut . It's also how they're approaching Kherson.

Compare the relative size of the armies versus what the Germans and USSR were fielding in the area. The Germans in WWII had probably more troops in Stalingrad than the Russians or Ukrainians have for the whole front in Ukraine. The USSR had slightly less in Stalingrad proper. Now, take those percentages down to the number of infantry and that is why the offensives seem as if they are moving in slow motion. You have to have infantry to secure the gains that armor makes in this sort of battleground and the Russians also have to reserve quite a few troops to guard supply lines from partisans attack. So, the troops are thinly arranged and probably quartered a lot in the complexes of small villages and farms in the region.

The commission then will outline recommendations for restructuring. The agency is a failure, and in its current state - a serious menace. It cannot exist in its current form.

351 so I think that chess kid uses a chess engine basically - AI. he was caught cheating on remote games (live streamed) and subsequently banned.

what the WSJ article is about is the longer term Chess.com report on his play/behavior and it is very suss. but no, they don't have physical evidence of his cheating in in person matches they did not search him bodily. but the "trend" in his play looks very off. based on the data they look at - most likely he cheated.

he may or may not be banned permanently I guess they're deciding. but I mean I think he's a cheater, yeah. his attitude, his repeated lying ... he cheated and lied repeatedly ... he's got a bad habit. and being Gen Z he probably thinks using a chess engine and whatever "system" he created counts as "work" and he's not even cheating, really!

what I've been doing the last month or so is carefully watching day to day prediction of locations and actions, and then see if they are borne out. A set of milbloggers (mostly east european, I think) were exactly right about the scope, method, and timing of the Lyman operation. So i think their explanation of the situation is worth a little bit of credit. One observation that was repeated often; Moscow is extremely worried about losing Kherson, and in order to keep the Kherson front supplied, they were stripping the northern areas of equipment and supplies, as well as refusing to send any reinforcements. That's a big reason that the Ukes are advancing so quickly now into Luhansk.

Maybe I am in tinfoil hat territory, but after the last 5 years of this shit, I see everything different now. I watched Oliver Stone's Revisiting JFK documentary the other day, where they have even more unclassified documents reviewed. And one thing stuck with me from it.

Where they describe Kennedy as trying to disrupt the establishment. And talked about how he was so angry with the CIA for lying to him that he defunded them. And then they had him assassinated.

That was 50 years ago. And the CIA and FBI have committed numerous other atrocities against American citizens since then. I bet every President and elected official knows the consequences of trying to defund any 3-letter agency is to be JFK'd.

-----------------------
The totals involved in operations in the Ukraine are not that disparate and then you include the nostrum that the offensive needs to concentrate 2 to 3 times more than the defenders of a point in order for a reasonable chance of success in breaking through lines.

While the Russian military is large, the actual number as in the US of the tip of the spear for ground combat is a much smaller percentage. This is why both the Ukrainians and the Russians have probably been using up their infantry at an unsustainable rate until they get new trained troops.

-------------------------
One, they have serious maintenance issues and many of those tanks listed in publications are not actually ready for battle. We have some of the same issues btw. The second is that all of the Russian designs use an autoloader and that makes them particularly vulnerable to top down attacks because you leverage the shells in the autoloader with the explosives of the missile. Kind of like hitting an ammo dump in small scale.

The US, British, and other Western anti-tank weapons were specifically designed to take advantage of the Russian tanks weaknesses and so are very lethal to Russian tanks.

Russia could have eliminated Ukraine in 3 days if that was the goal, but it wasn't. Putin wanted to stop the NATO talk and figured he could liberate the ethnically Russian eastern territories in the process. In a sane world, Ukraine would have been forced to the table in a few days and a deal would have been struck. However, the CIA had different plans and the media decided it was better to back Biden by lying about Ukraine's background.

After the Afghanistan debacle, who would have thought that the U.S. public would go along with spending hundreds of billions on a new never-ending war?

What I find most interesting currently is coming from Russian Government sources; there is now extremely vicious infighting going on from various part of the military apparatus. The head of the mercs, a close personal friend of Putin, said publicly over the weekend that the General's in charge were failures who should be stripped of their ranks and sent into combat barefoot with only a machine gun. The generals countered and are saying the Mercs are using their wealth to strip the army of desperately needed supplies. If things get worse, I can see a power struggle breaking out in Moscow. Not a revolution, just different parts of the Army staff having a knock down drag out over who's gonna be in charge.

Not so sure about it now. Putin's political strategy is contra to what is needed militarily and was similar to US strategy in Vietnam, etc. You want to fight a war, it best be total or you risk losing.

The Russians desperately need to regroup, resupply, and reequip their front lines but the Ukrainian offensives prevent that in the west around Kherson and now apparently in the northern sector of the Donbas. All the blather about the huge number of Russians conscripted ignores the fact that it will take time to train and equip them--they may take the field next year but depending on facts on the ground, that may be too late.

Posted by: MkY
-----------------
The areas most productive like the steelworks and coal mines are largely damaged or destroyed. The farmland is marginal and Putin gains another duplicate port on the Black Sea. This is not the road to riches and in fact represents a huge sucking fiscal wound to the Russians if they try to rebuild. Don't think anyone has published much on oil or gas reserves so maybe there is that but every day the Russians are cut off from Western expertise in running their oil fields, those risk breakdown. Venezuela's collapse in oil production is what ultimately happens in that case.

So, I don't really see the average people of Ukraine nor Russia gaining anything if all economically from this war but losing a lot from it.

Probably - though they are probably going to lose a bit of the Donbass to try and hold some of the south, and Crimea isn't all that safe as I have had it described to me, which is why the northern areas were stripped to reinforce southern forces. The Russians are pretty much bottled up in the south, with no way to get supply and troops over the river down there.

But their attack on Kiev kind of indicated they thought it would be easy but they forgot to bring gas for their columns and flew their best units into the airport and lost them all.

They still are much bigger than Ukraine. I have to think they could overwhelm them - but it is not so easy based upon the way they run supply. No railhead - no supplies.
