He wanted to discuss solutions to school shootings, but when I offered a solution he began shouting. When he asked for data, I gave him data, but then he just shouted more. Bring facts. There’s never been a school shooting in the hundreds of schools that allow staff to carry. https://t.co/jInj4GHBDL

This goes hand-in-hand with a toxic dynamic called phobia indoctrination: the attempt to instil irrational fears in members of a high-control group in order to manipulate them.

Russia arrests Wall Street Journal reporter on spying charge
By The Associated Press
Russia’s security service arrested an American reporter for The Wall Street Journal on espionage charges, the first time a U.S. correspondent has been detained on spying accusations since the Cold War. The newspaper denied the allegations and demanded his release.
Evan Gershkovich was detained in the city of Yekaterinburg while allegedly trying to obtain classified information, the Federal Security Service, known by the acronym FSB, said Thursday.
The service, which is the top domestic security agency and main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, alleged that Gershkovich “was acting on instructions from the American side to collect information about the activities of one of the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex that constitutes a state secret.”
The Journal “vehemently denies the allegations from the FSB and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, Evan Gershkovich,” the newspaper said. “We stand in solidarity with Evan and his family.”
The arrest comes at a moment of bitter tensions between the West and Moscow over its war in Ukraine and as the Kremlin intensifies a crackdown on opposition activists, independent journalists and civil society groups.
he sweeping campaign of repression is unprecedented since the Soviet era. Activists say it often means the very profession of journalism is criminalized, along with the activities of ordinary Russians who oppose the war.
Earlier this week, a Russian court convicted a father over social media posts critical of the war and sentenced him to two years in prison. His 13-year-old daughter was sent to an orphanage.
Gershkovich is the first American reporter to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia since September 1986, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was arrested by the KGB.
Daniloff was released without charge 20 days later in a swap for an employee of the Soviet Union’s United Nations mission who was arrested by the FBI, also on spying charges. …
At a hearing Thursday, a Moscow court quickly ruled that Gershkovich would be kept behind bars pending the investigation.
While previous American detainees have been freed in prisoner swaps, a top Russian official said it was too early to talk about any such deal. …
To Summarize: Today an FBI informant testified in the Proud Boys trial that he was given permission by the FBI to commit crimes, that he physically stopped a security gate from coming down in the Capitol, that he moved barricades, and he carried zip tie cuffs into the Capitol. 🚨
Maybe the water carriers in thee press will update their story.
It’s the right thing to do,so of course they wont.
So the zip tie cuffs the news was always pointing to as proof of intent that the protesters wanted to capture or kidnap congressmen, was brought by an FBI informant?
Starting to wonder if the informants were doing a majority of the bad stuff we saw on Video.
Jacob Chansley, the Navy veteran and Jan. 6, 2021 rioter dubbed the “QAnon Shaman” for his infamous horned costume, has been released from prison to a halfway house, according to his lawyer.
Now maybe the other political prisoners should be released as well eh?
Sure. Indicted. Long after the local statue of limitations ran out, on a “trumped” up federal charge that doesn’t exist, on an issue the feds refused to prosecute and the state of NY is out of their jurisdiction on, but sure, indicted.
Seems Ron read the tea leaves and has changed his mind. 🙂
Smart move.
“DeSantis on Trump Indictment: ‘Florida Will Not Assist in an Extradition Request Given the Questionable Circumstances at Issue With This Soros-Backed Manhattan Prosecutor and His Political Agenda’
“The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct.”
This is the part Trump detractors refuse to acknowledge. This is about basic rights and rules of law that as an American citizen, we’re all entitled to. Yes, even the Bad Orange Man.
The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head.
It is un-American.
The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is…
This won’t play out the way the left and Trump haters think. This will energize his supporters and unleash him. You thought he was bad before? Now he has no need to hold back.
Can’t wait to see him turn himself in in front of cameras. The campaign ads will write themselves. This will just prove everything he’s been saying.
