Yves here. In case you have not done so, please circulate the revelation that TSA has been engaging in a staggering amount of costly, terrorist-level harassment of former Congressmember and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard. Matt Taibbi gave a long-form account of how the TSA repeatedly subjected Gabbard to over-the-top searches, feeling every article of clothing and her bags….as if she were carrying explosives!!! There’s no justification for this. The clear intent is to intimidate her into keeping her mouth shut.
Tom Neuburger’s piece below gives a good overview. However, I have some doubts about his idea that we are in a pre-revolutionary era. The French Revolution came out of left field. Even though there had been a period of poor harvests, food scarcity was becoming less of a problem as growing conditions had improved. It was the king himself who initiated the cahiers de doléances that were solicited through each of the three estates which then solicited locals to find out what their grievances were. They were written as requests to the king or suggested reforms. Later scholars described them as typically assuming the king did not know about the bad conditions he was being asked to remedy. In other words, there was no sign that the legitimacy of his authority was being challenged.
Less than three years later, Louis XVI was beheaded. And bear in mind that the status of kings was so deeply embedded in societies all over Europe and they were even accorded quasi-divine status, such as having healing powers, so that three years was a very short timeframe for this overthrow.
Even more on point is the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. In a new Duran broadcast, Seyed Mohammad Marandi said in passing that no one saw the revolution coming.
So I am still skeptical of the revolution thesis. Neoliberalism has been a great success in weakening social and community ties and getting people to see themselves as isolated individuals. More and more violence and rebellion seem almost baked in, but it seems more probable that the progression will be towards anarchy and fragmentation, and not an organized or large-scale revolution. Nevertheless, evidence of the insecurity of our supposed betters keeps accumulating. The FBI raided Scott Ritter’s home earlier this week. In the UK, the government is considering criminalizing the retweeting of posts it considers hateful.

“When authorities believe their own citizens will become dangerous, they begin to focus on controlling the public, rather than on addressing the disaster.”

Scheduling note first: As promised, I’m going to be away for a bit, so no or occasional posting for the next week or two. It’s August; time to see what’s blooming outside these doors.
‘Quiet Skies’
If you read nothing else this week, read this, about the birth of the Dept. of Pre-Crime in Homeland Security. Spook state indeed.
EXCLUSIVE – Federal Air Marshal Whistleblowers Report Tulsi Gabbard Actively Under Surveillance via Quiet Skies Program
In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. …
The whistleblowers first shared the information with Sonya LaBosco, the Executive Director of the Air Marshal National Council (AMNC), a national advocacy group for the Federal Air Marshals (FAMs). According to LaBosco, at least one of the whistleblowers is ready to go on the record with pertinent documentation. LaBosco shared that Gabbard is unaware she has two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshals on every flight she boards.
The degree of inconvenience can’t be understated. Matt Taibbi, who interviewed Gabbard, adds this:
This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.
“It happened every time I boarded,” says Gabbard. The Iraq war veteran and current Army reservist tends to pack light, but no matter.
“I’ve got a couple of blazers in there, and they’re squeezing every inch of the entire collar, every inch of the sleeves, every inch of the edging of the blazers,” she says. “They’re squeezing or padding down underwear, bras, workout clothes, every inch of every piece of clothing.” Agents unzipped the lining inside the roller board of her suitcase, patting down every inch inside the liner. Gabbard was asked to take every piece of electronics out and turn each on, including her military phone and computer.
As both Gabbard and Sonya LaBosco, head of a Federal Air Marshall’s advocacy group, say, she’s not the only one to receive this treatment. There are others.
Political Motivation, or Something Else?
Both Gabbard and LaBosco believe this is politically motivated — in Gabbard’s case, retaliation not only for past sins, but more recently, for publicly criticizing “unelected warmongers — i.e. the Military Industrial Complex which profits from war, and the National Security State”. Bosco believes association with January 6 is involved.
My view: This may or may not be true; no one can be sure. I’m certain the marshals think their actions are good.
I think something much more general is involved. Consider: What happens when a citizenry becomes rebellious, egged on by economic privation and a rapacious oligarchic class that will not stand down?
This is clearly what happened in France.
Liberty Leading the People, detail Despite the end result of that Revolution, the process was a bloody mess and lasted decades. It was awful — more than Liberty led the people. They got tyrants as well, world-historical ones. No one wants to live in revolutionary times.
And yet here we are: “Our captured government sent manufacturing abroad to make our rich more rich. They immiserated workers, let predatory domestic companies pick cash from their bones, and trumpet on cable news the only fight that won’t hurt their bottom line. As a result, we watch our parties battle each other while the real perps, the not-yet-rich-enough rich, rake in the dough.”
This won’t end quickly or well. We’ve seen the stirrings for decades, ignored (mostly) by Democrats and cruelly misled by Republicans. (Oh, for a second Lincoln, or a Sanders with balls!)
The State, Faced with Unrest, Will Do What?
But political parties aside, consider the State. What does it do when internal unrest grows? What happens when authorities believe their citizen will become dangerous?
This is why I don’t think this clampdown is just political. Yes, those involved, even peripherally, in January 6 are receiving extra attention. So yes, conservatives may rightly (or not) think they’re targeted.
But there are many reason for our citizens to be uppity. Consider the George Floyd riots. The unfocused anger of the those made prey by the rich. And the big one around the corner: the mother of all storms, wealth-driven Climate Change.
That day is coming, the day when the public demands change, redress, retribution. How will elites respond? The government, including its National Security arm, will have only two choices, similar to the choices faced by Anchorage, Alaska.
Elites who run the State can:
- Protect the citizens by changing their policy now, or
- Protect themselves and their friends from the wrath of their victims.
We know our rich like we know the back of our hand — as a class, they serve only themselves. Why should they change?
From an Establishment standpoint, of course, none of this can be allowed. No rebellion of an unapproved sort is permissible. Not BLM, not Proud Boys, not Stop the Steal, not student debt strikes, not Occupy Wall Street 2.0, not any activity that represents an actual threat to the “nothing will change” apple cart that gives meaning to the lives of the few who constrain the lives of the many.
The few feed on the many, surf with pleasure on the back of their forced labor, and the bent-down many cannot be allowed to object.
How to enforce this constraint in pre-revolutionary times? The Riot of January 6 is providing the perfect excuse to clamp down on any objection to “the way things have always been.”
But more than that, the one-time event of the riot allows a radical and permanent redefinition of political crime — not as an act of violence, but an act of thought. We’re entering the world of pre-emptive arrest, incarceration and prosecution for the political crime of being on the “path to radicalization.”
We may not be at pre-emptive arrest (as far as I know), but as the Gabbard case shows, we’ve reached pre-emptive harassment with no end in sight. And here we are.

The “harassment” is also going on in Public Private surveillance schemes. Here in Mississippi, there is a Public Private program that uses roadside auto license plate readers that are connected to the State data base to find and automatically ticket cars driving without auto insurance. The private company supplies the equipment and gets to keep a half of the proceeds, which is roughly $300 USD. No live persons involved. This is a niche because there is a law on the books that prohibits the police from issuing tickets automatically using surveillance cameras. Since the insurance law is not technically a moving violation, it squeaks by. Thankfully, there is a legal challenge to this Public Private scam instrumentality.
See: https://www.mississippifreepress.org/class-action-suit-targets-mississippi-cities-private-companies-using-cameras-for-vehicle-insurance-fees/

Sorry, but uninsured drivers should be off the roads. Why support such a calamity waiting to happen?
The allowing of Predatory third party participation in law enforcement is troubling, no? Particularly here when you consider that the program in Mississippi almost certainly is biased against the poor. After all, no bank will hold paper on an uninsured vehicle.
Also, you may have noticed that insurance costs are rising. This is true of auto insurance rates. According to this cnbc article from July 13, Car insurance costs continue to rise. According to a report from Bankrate, average premiums for full coverage auto insurance hit $2,543 in 2024, a 26% increase from 2023.
Agreed…Back in my 20’s (I’m 50something now) I could immediately sense the peril when I learned of prison privatization. It was obvious to me then that A. This would incentivize private prison owners to lobby for tougher crime laws and B. it was obvious from a philosophic perspective that the financial and social burden of institutions like prisons should be born from the public so it is felt. Its probably important to reduce the number of uninsured motorists on the road, but the state of Mississippi should probably just buy the equipment and the knowhow, but revenue sharing for something like this only incentivizes the private sector to invent new government rent extraction grifts.
Whether properly insured or not, I notice more erratic driving behavior now than I ever have before…any old spot will do for a sudden U turn no mind that oncoming traffic…
The guardrails just seem to becoming more loosey goosey than ever. Or could be I’m getting older and still fond of the 10 and 2 position and a 3+ second following distance.
An aside, but actually 7 and 4 is safer because the airbag will slam your arms into your face and cause significant damage to your person…
You still have control, just a little bit different, and perhaps a slightly less aggressive stance while driving.
Cheers
completely aside: but I do wonder if 5 or 10 years from now enough evidence will accumulate that someone can write a new “Silent Spring” about – not DDT’s harmful effect on the environment, insects, birds, and people – but about EMF radiation pollution interfering with animals internal electrical systems. 5G, 6G, and above, etc. Some percentage of people seem very affected by it. (I”ll go back to making my foil bonnets now. / ;)
First they come for the uninsured drivers….
this is a correct statement.
“First they come for the uninsured drivers….”
the support the blue till it happens to you crowd might be in for a rude awakening someday.
Except that all they can tell by running the plates is whether the car carries insurance, not whether the person driving it is listed on the policy.
I don’t care of the surveillance devices can accurately measure my blood alcohol content while driving. I want procedures to be followed, not blind ticketing by the surveillance apparatus.
Methods using cameras, breathalyzers, drug tests, and similar things tend to somehow go awry if their failures means profits for the government, businesses, and the police. The greater the automation, the more chances of profitable GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).
> . . . she has two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshals on every flight she boards.
It’s a jawbs guarantee for cops.
During Occupy quite a few of us had reported this same treatment and we gave trainings to expect it. It’s also why I no longer travel to the US, haven’t done since.
Gabbard is being followed by ‘two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshals on every flight she boards.’ That is at least seven people. I am assuming that the two dogs are traveling disguised as ‘comfort’ dogs on those planes. So right there that is tens of thousands of dollars going down the gurgler. Then add in support for those teams, management, coordination, accommodation, transport, customs officers, communications, etc. so all told you may have a coupla dozen people involved in this aerial circus. Now you are getting into the hundreds of thousands at the very least and maybe the low millions. All to harass a minor political opponent that the system has sidelined year ago. I would expect nothing else from a Biden White House which has a end of the regime vibe to it.
From the Taibbi article, Quiet Skies eats up an astonishing amount of resources: an Inspector General’s report about the program in 2019 “identified $394 million in funds that could be put to better use,” meaning nearly half the Air Marshals’ budget was being wasted.
So yeah, about those “comfort” German Shepherds.
Taibbi’s follow-up today. No paywall.
Comment from the TSA on Tulsi Gabbard and the “Quiet Skies” Program
What was asked, how they replied.
https://www.racket.news/p/comment-from-the-tsa-on-tulsi-gabbard
An article in the Guardian this afternoon regarding an olympian athlete using the free healthcare of France and thinking “this is amazing, why don’t we have this in our country?” She’s not from the US. Hmm, and Americans wonder why they don’t have healthcare. “Let them eat cake” could be translated as, “Let them buy their own bandaids”.
Here is where an “elite” Democrat began to attack Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard:

People of Hawaii’s 2nd district – was it not enough for you that your representative met with a murderous dictator? Will this move you?

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: “Yes, I’m skeptical” of claim Assad regime is behind chemical weapons attack
7:32 PM – 7 Apr 2017
Tulsi called out Harris and her AG record in the 2020 debates, so became a clear and present danger to the latter. Tidying up loose ends? Or just bureaucratic bumbling, or maybe both?
In any event, an overbearing police state surveillance can be applied to anyone, apparently without much notice or care among the DC people. There is reportedly a Congressional letter from Burchett (TN) to the TSA requesting explanations, so a few rays of sunlight to begin the disinfectant process.
I think only the three air narwhals board the aeroplanes.
Dammit – I never realized how easy it is to mistype marshals as narwhals: adjacent keys!
Air travel with narwhales. “We’ll have the halibut, thank you.”
One of the first items on the list of things that can get you on the watch list is being ex-military.
Seems they think that real-life experience enforcing the rules-based order is likely to radicalize the citizenry?
I don’t know what I did to get myself on the list. Wish I knew.
Likely because you were in the USA and read NC, or watched The Duran.
It began long before I started reading NC, and I’ve never watched The Duran. I’d like to start traveling internationally in a year or so for genealogy purposes but I am dreading it.
What about getting a train/car to Canada or Mexico and flying out from there. Do either of those countries honour the US no-fly list?
You now need a passport to travel to those two nations, and all US passports carry RFID chips embedded in the cover. The surveillance is Panoptical.
The no flight list hacked by Swiss hacker Maia Arson Crimew (I think that she chose that name herself), included lots of children who by vritue of their age couldn’t have done anything except having a name that was arabic.
So while there could be something you have done, it could also be Kafkaesque bureaucracy. Maybe your name is similar to someone elses?
Incompetence is my guess – having worked extensively with govt. IT contractors, even those who work for the TLAs are often knuckle-dragging mouth breathers.
Were you ever involved with Occupy?
Nope!
Great judgement by Obama here …
Or, more likely, the Revolt, has started … and is in slow motion, to quicken more and more as events foment.
Interesting times. Nudging the poulation this way and that is fine with AI modelling showing many successful outcomes. But can AI predict the unknown? Turning up the temperature is easy with all the levers. Cooling things down? Priceless!
Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard also spoke at the RNC in favor of President Trump. I don’t believe in coincidences.
I agree with you, Yves, that there is no revolution coming except in the way you described since the reality is that “community” is a dying idea. There is a lot of online “community” particularly in gaming and various drugs will enhance that experience to be more fulfilling.
The TSA program is another government scam. Various agencies find BS ways to enhance their budgets claiming the criticality of their “mission.” IMHO the only way forward, in the sense of blunting government repression which is hear and increasing, is a collective dragging of feet, i.e., non-cooperation with Federal agencies of all kinds and hope that alternatives to the Feds crops up. Nearly all of the Federal government is systemically corrupt and can’t be reformed. For a time the Feds were limited in their power but that time is over and it doesn’t matter who is in power there because the government is held together by a series of deals and contracts that bring vast wealth to a certain class of people.
It was the end of the Cold War that fueled this particular era–that’s when I saw all around me in my home in Northern Virginia McMansions crop up like mushrooms throughout the area–you figure out why.
In 1972, Zhou Enlai was asked what he thought of the French Revolution (later assumed to mean the 18th century), his response, it was widely reported was: it’s too early to tell.
Tariq Ali (at who’s feet I would gladly sit) sets the record straight that Zhou was, rather than 1789, actually referring to events of 1968. Still, the myth has merits.
“Tariq Ali … sets the record straight that Zhou was, rather than 1789, actually referring to events of 1968…”
What a superb correction. Zhou Enlai was a master diplomat, as is the present foreign minister Wang Yi.
Recently read American Midnight by Adam Hochschild. It’s about the government clampdown on free speech circa 1917 – 1920 and provides perspective on how far those with liberal ideals(TM) are willing to go to quash dissent (spoiler alert: it’s really, really far). One big difference between that time and this is back then the authorities relied hugely on “deputized” members of “law and order” organizations like the American Protective League, the American Legion, and the Ku Klux Klan to identify, target, and discipline dissenters. This time around, that kind of person is more likely to be among the dissenters. Interesting times indeed.
1917-1920, the Dem pres Woodrow Wilson’s administration. A lot of anti-civil liberties laws and acts came out of that administration.
D. W. Griffith filmed his cinema masterpiece Birth of a Nation during the Wilson admin, it had a special showing at the WH for Wilson. You can look up the movie online. Very dismissed and condemned now. It was, however, a cinematic masterpiece in the same way Leni Riefenstahl’s later movie Triumph of the Will was a now condemned cinematic masterpiece.
Just one point, Wilson was the first Southerner elected pres after the Civil War. He grew up in Virginia during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. One of his first acts in his first year was to segregate the federal work force which was previously desegregated.
Don’t forget that Wilson was a premier academic, being President of Princeton. Later he forayed into politics and was elected Governor of New Jersey. Before the Mob were the WASPs.
I saw “Triumph of the Will” in a big screen screening at college. It was part of a class on advertising, ie. how to do it right.
WASPs are a mob? Or only designated as such by the current admin? Enquiring minds… / ;)
Technically, a group of WASPs, say four to six, is called a “Schwarm.” Next up in organization is the “Staffel,” comprising nine to twelve WASPs. An operationally fearsome mob of WASPs is next; a “Gruppe,” 40 to 80 Party Faithful. Finally, for full area suppression, we come to the “Geschwader,” 90 to 120 WASPs flitting about on their errands of evil.
Speaking of Mobs in general, it behoves me to point out that one of the Patron Saints of the Neo-liberal dispensation is Julius Evola, the late Italian philosopher and social engineer par excellence. His “Theory of the Absolute Individual” sets the parameters within which modern Uniparty thought leaders base their thinking.
Thus, WASPs are but an American example of the eternal and deathless elite that guides the Fate of the World.
All that is old is new again.
One of my biggest takeaways from the book was just how petty Wilson could be. In addition to his unapologetic racism, after the war ended he strongly resisted commuting the sentences-often as long as 10 to 20 years-of war resistors convicted under the recently passed Espionage Act. There was a large and very vocal public effort to get socialist labor activist and presidential candidate Eugene Debs released from prison late in Wilson’s tenure. It was even supported by a few senior officials in his administration. Wilson refused. Warren Harding commuted Debs’ sentence several months after taking office in 1921 and invited him to the White House.
the united states is now a police state. the supreme court has elevated a small group of people into elite tin gods drunk with power. and they know its almost impossible to touch them.
they have become a power onto themselves, getting mind blowing large wage increases, to justify those increases, they go after petty stuff that should be a simple fix it tickets or warnings.
on a good day with cops, you may well be falsely charged, falsley arrested, kidnaped. framed and falsely imprisoned.
on a bad day you might be beaten, tased, raped, stolen from or murdered.
very little real crimes are solved in america now.

in reality, the corrupt politicians, district attorneys and the courts, are either in on it, or are now scared of the police.
the government has almost lost control of the police.
this is what happens when you allow this kind of power in the hands of a few.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janissary
free trade requires police states. the year america went fascist, 1993.
and i forgot to add. large swaths of america, most likely a majority, view the polices as terrorists, a occupying army.
in their eyes, they no longer trust, nor respect the police, and view them as ill legitimate.
the police view us with contempt and fear, they know how they are viewed.
i am betting Yves has gotten it right, fragmentation then collapse.
but thomas also might be correct. when they no longer fear the bullets, or everything seemed to be going along fine for decades, then in just a few weeks, the world changes.
so we are in a very real scary interesting times.
I think you are exaggerating. Much depends on local conditions. But I think you are right that there is a dramatic shift towards authoritarianism and, here is where I differ with you, there is public support for various sorts of repression as long it is one’s enemies that are being repressed and punished for not just their actions, but their thoughts as expressed online. In the UK free speech will be banned if it isn’t already and we, here in the US, are slowly getting there though we are still far away from Europe’s more repressive regimes like Germany and the UK which are moving into not just authoritarianism but totalitarianism, particularly Germany, where the public seems ready to support it.
Joe Rogan goes there. twtr-X
“The fact that they’re comfortable with finding people who’ve said something that they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage in England in 2024 is really wild.”

per Yves’ intro:
“Tom Neuburger’s piece below gives a good overview. However, I have some doubts about his idea that we are in a pre-revolutionary era.”
I agree, I also think he listens too much to the Dem estab talking points. I could be wrong. However, NY Dem Rep Jamie Raskin said the quiet part out loud, imo, aka he made a faux pas, as they say. / ;) from twtr-X.
“Representative Raskin reveals that Democrats have a contingency plan in the event of a Trump victory in November – they will invoke Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from taking office. He predicts it will result in a civil war. ”
https://x.com/amuse/status/1820527568233394593
Not that I blame Neuburger for leaning into the Dem estab ideas. We see what can happen to writers who don’t lean into the Dem estab talking points. / ;)
Raskin demonstrates the panic and existential angst in the party about their past misdeeds coming to light. Too many people participated, some unwilling or unaware useful idiots, others craven lackeys and stenographers.
Wipe, you mean with a cloth?
The entire Congress needs dusting off.
Not just political? Pull the other one.
And obviously the agents aren’t happy about it because they blew the whistle. A better suggestion would be it’s the latest manifestation of “nobody f**ks with a Biden” or a Biden’s veep. If Trump did this it would be weeks of scandal but Biden knows that if he does it via his TSA then it will be weeks of silence because, after all, democracy is at stake. Trump is like the Dem’s Reichstag fire–the all purpose excuse. And as long as we are analogizing……
“…but it seems more probable that the progression will be towards anarchy and fragmentation, and not an organized or large-scale revolution.”
I really like the skeptics point of view here, but I do not agree. The left has no cohesion or unity, mostly thanks to Id-pol sectarian siloing, however the right appears to have formed a powerful coalition of forces. There’s too many Billionaire tycoons with powerful societal/psychological manipulation technology at their disposal to let a crisis of anarchy and fragmentation go to waste. The most likely scenario I foresee, as it is already happening, is the current discontent with America’s post Neo-liberal malaise will be harnessed by Curtis Yarvin loving Musks and Theils of the world to sweep away democratic governance and the regulatory state. The Brown Shirts have already been mobilized and are standing by awaiting orders from demagogues in the service of Billionaire soon-to-be God-Kings.
If the Harris/Walz campaign/post-war establishment organs can miraculously triumph over the pre-planned, ruthless, anti-democratic plans of the Trump forces, four or perhaps eight more years of establishment Neo-liberal Obama administration style governance will provide even more fuel for an explosive upheaval in the future. Someone has to deliver the change Americans have been craving for years now, or societal upheaval followed by an authoritarian, right-wing power grab is in the cards.
This is surprisingly overt and I doubt the timing of the raid on Ritter was a coincidence.
The spooks have interfered in the last two elections with a 50/50 success rate and no repercussions, I wonder how far they are willing to go this time?
anyone who thinks the police are not out of control, this is for you. the crime rate, that is petty crime that should not be the subject of arrest is exploding, real crimes are under counted, and dismal solved rates.
every where, the cops are milking the system doing what ever they can, to justify exploding pay rates.
absolute power corrupts absolutely.

RIGHT OUT THE we have GREAT NEWS!!! The goofy cop in the viral video has been allowed to QUIT says Mayor John Boy (that’s literally his name), and EVEN BETTER NEWS is the woman he was assaulting (allegedly) has had all charges DROPPED!
Then, we are directly back to the scene of the STUPIDITY in ELYRIA, with a batch of the worst bad apples they could shake outta the tree around there. The main knucklehead got the biggest slap on the wrist but, none of them will have learned a damn thing about their lack of decency.
UP NEXT, it was the weirdest thing you’ve heard since the last bad apple report! A SGT got to feeling a special way about his subordinate and got his grope on ( ON CAMERA ), and then the young cop shot a load of lead into his FRESH SGT! BLUE ON BLUE BALLZ!
Our COVER STORY is that of a bad cop who has been coddled by captains and chiefs and let loose on society. In this report, he’s an informant turned construction worker as far away from accountability as he can run. Allegedly.
THEN it’s the COPS in DOLTON making more than their salaries in OVER TIME PAY SHAKEDOWN. The whole city is millions in the whole, and Tiffany Henyard is just acting like it ain’t no thang! Well, Mz Thang will find herself dealing the FBI soon, and we’ll just report what she has to say then.
LASTLY, we have what to my eye appears to be a good cop taken too soon. The jerk criminal was left to his devices by a bunch of idiot bad apples and a moronic criminal justice system, and the Chief who had just retired three days earlier was hit head on by this insane knucklehead. So, we will send him off with a THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING A BAD APPLE!
Thanks for watching!
