Republican Congressmen Accuse FBI Director Wray: Whistleblowers Tell Us the FBI Is Inflating "Domestic Terrorism" Cases According to Biden's Propaganda Demands, and Conditioning Promotions Based on How Many Fake "Domestic Terrorism" Cases They Fabricate
So the FBI has a "quota" system for fake domestic terrorism cases, the same as local podunk cops churn out minor traffic citations.
This surely indicates a Republic in good health: writing up "domestic terrorism" cases like you're just trying to make quota with a bunch of trumped up Failure to Yield hassles. This initiative began under Obama -- Obama wanted to appease his Muslim supporters, as well as extremist Islamist groups Obama was negotiating with overseas like the Muslim Brotherhood, and so ordered the intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies to downplay Muslim terrorism ("the motive may never be known") and being "finding" cases of "domestic (white) terrorism," so that it could be claimed the two were in rough parity, or that the latter was more threatening than the former. The radical left had been pushing this meme since about three hours after 9/11, of course, keeping running tallies of people killed by foreign terrorists and people killed by supposed "domestic extremists." These running tallies always began the week after 9/11, to exclude the 2,996 victims of 9/11, and didn't just include actual "domestic terrorism" victims. Any time someone was vaguely said to be a member of a "domestic extremist" organization, his crimes would be counted as a "domestic terrorism" crime, even if the crime was something obviously unrelated to domestic terrorism, like a man killing his wife in an argument, or one skinhead killing another skinhead in a meth deal gone wrong, etc. They didn't do that same thing with foreign terrorists -- they didn't include every single crime committed by suspected foreign terrorists. Because, of course, they weren't trying to pad the numbers of foreign terrorists. Far from it -- they were trying to reduce those numbers, and claim that even where it was obvious that a murder committed by a Muslim man was in fact inspired by Islam -- that case in the NJ/NY reason of a Muslim man killing gay men, for example -- the FBI would claim "the motive may never be known." They're not that stupid. They were acting under orders. They were instructed: Where possible, do not find a motive. And, where possible: Claim that any case involving a white guy with a tattoo you think looks a little hinky is a "domestic terrorism" case. Well, the whistleblowers are now talking to congressmen about this. Finally. From the House Judiciary Committee, addressing this accusation to Wray directly:Chris Wray? That straight shooter?! Not the Andy-McCarthy endorsed Chris Wray, surely?
The FBI defines a domestic violent extremist (DVE) as "an individual based and
operating primarily within the United States or its territories without direction or inspiration from a foreign terrorist group or other foreign power who seeks to further political or social goals wholly or in part through unlawful acts of force or violence." According to you and other Biden Administration officials, investigations into DVEs have increased "significantly." In June 2021, you testified that the FBI has a "very, very active domestic terrorism investigation program" and that you had "doubled the amount of domestic terrorism investigations." Attorney General Merrick Garland has repeated this talking point, stating that "[t]he number of open FBI domestic terrorism investigations this year has increased significantly." New whistleblower disclosures made by multiple FBI employees from different field offices indicate that the Biden Administration's narrative may be misleading. We have received accusations that FBI agents are bolstering the number of cases of DVEs to satisfy their superiors. For example, one whistleblower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification. Another whistleblower--who led at least one high profile domestic terrorism investigation--stated that a field office Counterterrorism Assistant Special Agent in Charge and the FBI's Director of the Counterterrorism Division have pressured agents to move cases into the DVE category to hit self created performance metrics. According to whistleblowers, the FBI uses these metrics to dispense awards and promotions. Every whistleblower has called it an environment of "pressure" within the FBI. These whistleblower allegations that the FBI is padding its domestic violent extremist data cheapens actual examples of violent extremism. This information
also reinforces our concerns--about which we have written to you several times regarding the FBI's politicization under your leadership. As we have detailed, multiple whistleblowers have disclosed how the Biden FBI is conducting a "purge" of FBI employees holding conservative views. You have ignored these concerns. It appears instead that the FBI is more focused on classifying investigations to meet a woke left-wing agenda.

We are going to trade a convicted Russian arms trafficker for 1) a druggie female basketball player; and 2) disgraced former Marine Paul Nicholas Whelan, a Canadian with U.S., British, and Irish citizenship who was arrested in Russia on December 28, 2018, and accused of spying. In 2020, he received a 16-year Russian prison sentence with the possibility of time in a labor camp.
Whelan received a bad conduct discharge from the US Marine Corps. (although that has a 1% chance of being part of his "legend")

Isn't it scary enough to be *be* in prison? We outside *already* fear the people inside--which is why we keep them inside if we can. Imprisonment is to *control* the damage that violent criminals do to law-abiding civilians.

They're dealing with the same people who most likely leaked the Dobbs decision, as well as Breyer's decision to retire early, because they thought it would help them politically.
There's no one in charge to enforce silence, so the leaks will continue as long as some underling thinks there's something to be gained from it.

The military pads it's number of recruits, readiness, etc. The IRS pads the numbers of taxes taken in, usually downward to avoid an irate public.
But this is a bit different in that they're not only padding the numbers for budgetary reasons, they're making up real cases and arresting people on phony bullshit charges.

well, it's the problem. You can give normies an escape valve to presumably saner juries and judges where a republican can get a fair shake.
but it's anther thing to force people to change venue to get a worse shake. So, you have to move their place of work to these jurisdictions. to do that, you need to end DC.

Took Mrs D to the store today and we just got back.
Choice was Safeway or Fred Meyers.
"Lets do Freddies," she says
"OK", says I.
While we are in the store, there is an armed robbery at Safeway.
Mrs D asks, "Are your carrying?"
"Yes."
"Good."

Hiring conscientious workers for exacting work like investigation is essential, because liars and sociopaths don't do the sort of work that gets you convictions in front of a judge and jury, however, they also want to do the job right. You use the sociopaths and liars as management to beat the line guys into compliance.
The sort that will stick it out in spite of that sort of abuse are the sort that really get focused on the job.

no, here's the thing...blm/afa are "movements" which are not capable of organizations. These street riots just happened, you know? You remember this? People just take to the streets bc trump bad or police bad.
OTH, everything a conservative does in response to leftwing "movement" violence is domestic terrorism which also implies a conspiracy because they probably talked to someone once before in their lives.

The House actually did have a party change after the 1930 election as several Republicans died or left office which made the Dems in the middle of the term, the majority party. A one vote majority which is probably not very likely would probably revert to Republican before the 2024 elections by death and/or Dems leaving office.
From a technical angle, Nanzi is to be commended that she held her historically slender majority enough to actually pass bills that are electoral poison in swing districts. Part of it though is that McCarthy has not held his minority together on Dem stupidity. Typical GOPe crap he learned from Boehner to please donors.

Kraken,
If you look at polling, every one of those institutions is heading toward the toilet as far as belief in them. As a consequence, huge percentages are already engaged in disliking each of these institutions on the 'left' and 'right'. This is not only in this country as well. Average people have had about enough of the elites, celebutards, etc. saying let the peasants eat bugs and become a cold hungry serf living in a concrete hut in the dark.
No way to sell that to average people even if you have a purty mouth and speak really long words.

You can empirically see high monetary inflation countries have rapidly increasing stock prices. Intuitively, if your wages become 10 trillion a day, you won't be able to buy Apple for 2.5 trillion.
Price increase due to a reduction of supply is bearish for stock prices, but monetary inflation will increase their prices in nominal terms.

For most individuals with naive assumptions of no knowledge--indexes like SP500 or DJIA based, over time, earn a risk premium related to something like T bills. This is foggy from long ago Finance but that premium averaged about 2-3 percent over a risk free investment. From that, you can do better if you have individual information or time the market correctly but your downside risks are greater. However, pure market theory when hitched with unpredictable gubmint interference makes the crystal ball murky which in some ways is the point of gubmint interference. Witness all the elected officials selling off in January before all the Coof restrictions came down.

Self-serving crap. They know that if the non-RINOe bench-warmer conservatives get power, there will be a complete purge of the FBI up to and including dissolving the whole agency.
I've written elsewhere that the phrase "the fish rots from the head down" carries an unspoken connotation that, by replacing the head, we can somehow un-rot the fish. They're trying to set up a scenario of un-rotting the fish: that "it wasn't me - it was the fish head."

Price increase due to a reduction of supply is bearish for stock prices, but monetary inflation will increase their prices in nominal terms.
Posted by: Red Turban Someguy
-------------------
Did not happen that way in the US stock markets in the 70's. DJIA was aboput 800 in 1970 and increased to only 839 by the end of the decade. Over that time, stocks went up only 5 percent. Price index went from 37.8 in Jan 1970 to 76.7 in December of 1979 aka doubled.
One of the issues is that once you change expectations in the future economy, it is difficult to get untracked which is why the shock and awe (probably unrepeatable due to federal deficit today) of the Fed in Paul Volcker's hikes were necessary. Inflation for the 80's though still ran about 5-6 percent on average.

Step 1. Make them a public enemy.
Step 2. Manufacturer public risk such that you can round them up onesy twosy.
Step 3. People become afraid of public protest. When the movements move out of the public eye so they don't get arrested. Manufacture more risk so you can invade everyone's privacy.
Step 4. Round up more and more moderate dissidents until people are afraid to privately speak out.
Step 5. Take away guns. With no social network of any kind, even word of mouth, organized resistance is impossible.

The same FBI agent & informant pair from the Whitmer case also attempted a scheme against VA Gov. Northam.
"Mission is to kill the governor specifically", directed the FBI.

One of the issues is that once you change expectations in the future economy, it is difficult to get untracked which is why the shock and awe (probably unrepeatable due to federal deficit today) of the Fed in Paul Volcker's hikes were necessary. Inflation for the 80's though still ran about 5-6 percent on average.
Posted by: whig at July 28, 2022 03:18 PM (CXr4y)
1970s had supply shock. Reductions in supply decrease the real value of businesses (and correspondingly stock). For example, if the Middle East became a glowing crater, oil prices would skyrocket, prices would skyrocket, and most stocks would plummet. That's a reduction in supply.
Venezuelan stock market delivers enormous nominal returns as the currency inflates wildly out of control. Monetary inflation basically redistributes profits and ownership between different parties and makes doing business or planning difficult.

We are currently in a supply shock situation except it is broader than just energy and being aided by government regulations and laws. I don't expect the stock market to do that well going forward as deficits have just magically grown, China is turning inward and potentially violent, and in Ukraine, Euroland is facing some really bad choices this winter regarding sanctions. Voila--less production of goods, moah money being circulated via the BBB and still insufficient Fed rates, and so on. History does not always have to repeat itself but sometimes it rhymes.

In real life, it does not work that way. Problem is carrying costs (taxes, insurance, etc)+risks+forgone opportunity costs of other investments. It also posits linearity in its assumptions which is a feature of models not of real life. For the most part, mortgages are difficult to obtain for investment properties and commercial banks base their rates on both ability to pay and whatever cost of funds guidance comes their way from central banks.
FWIW, the current S&P 500 P/E ratio is about 20 or so indicating a historically overpriced market but not overly so. Average PE is bit over 15 while median PE is a bit under 15. Stagnation is the more likely of scenarios historically but then again, I prefer looking backward for projections which has its own risks--especially paradigm change.
