Closing graf:

…While I understand why some have trouble believing that in crucial respects America has devolved into an unaccountable police state, it doesn’t do anyone any favors to pretend that this isn’t happening. Indeed, choosing to remain in denial about injustice is itself a hallmark of totalitarianism. In The Lives of Others, the classic film about the East German surveillance state, a Stasi interrogator tells a prisoner, “So you think we just arrest innocent citizens on a whim? … If you think our humane system is capable of something like that, that would be a reason enough to arrest you.”

FBI agents last week arrested a man from Maine for his involvement in the events of January 6. According to a Department of Justice press release, Lincoln Deming spent about 30 minutes inside the building after entering through an open door with Capitol Police standing by. Deming faces numerous charges including civil disorder and the dreaded “parading” in the Capitol misdemeanor.

The DOJ bragged in the press release about the government’s scalp count for its unprecedented prosecution of Jan 6 protesters. “More than 1,424 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol,” Matthew Graves, the Joe Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, boasted. The investigation into the four-hour disturbance, Graves warned, is “ongoing.”

Indeed. The DOJ, astonishingly, is on pace to arrest one J6 protester a day this year; Graves has stated his intention to bring the total caseload to at least 2,000 defendants before the statute of limitations expires….

These young men & women are already leaps & bounds ahead of their age cohort & have in their hands the capacity to change the lives of every generation of black children to come…simply by marrying & raising another generation of university graduates.

But here…let’s give ’em a heaping helping of “shame on ol’ hateful whitey.”
The counterrevolution cannot come swiftly enough. It’s going to be lit.

It can feel that way.

In my teens and 20s I felt betrayed by family, church and nation. I did find solace in the hippie/left circle dancing. (neo is not just quoting a great quote.) I still have some allegiance there.

If I think back, I changed because enough people, mostly writers, therapists, and motivational speakers, told me that I had to be responsible for my life and made some good suggestions for doing so.

Say what you like about boomers. Many of us were responding to the call as a Bay Area DJ put it:

I don’t doubt that this sort of thing happens, but I do marvel that it is so effective. That is what bewilders me.
