Wisconsin’s Shame

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/20...

People are being terrorized by Police at the behest of political enemies.
What is next the ‘Night of Long Knives”?!?! This is outrageous.
It is along the same lines as the Lois Lerner targeting only more intrusive and terrifying physically.
Dare not to speak out or support the wrong politicians...

    "Tom Wolfe mockingly characterized liberal hysteria with the observation that the “dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe,” but that was back in the halcyon days of Richard Nixon in the 1970′s."

    The irony in this paragraph though is that Nixon was just as much a progressive (eg US fascist) as anyone in the democratic party. Minimum wage. Price controls. The EPA. ....

    Nixon was not a liberty loving conservative.

      Hello xthinker.
      Yes, they come in all stripes don't they? Nixon had an enemies list too. His dirty deeds were considerable and he was forced from office. I remember it well. "I am not a crook." Yet his actions seem lame by comparison to today's operatives and there seems to be no accountability. Hillary Clinton had a hand in the Nixon impeachment inquiry. She apparently learned that one should burn the tapes, or in today's world, wipe the server....
      What a world...
      Respectfully,
      O.A.

        OA, apparently this atrocity was perpetrated on at least one member of the Gulch.

          It was not directly on me but I personally know one of the people. I consider him a friend and he lives in my county. He is the first one who broke the gag order and has openly done so on local talk radio.

          Here is a link to one of the interviews. There has been more since then.

            Hello edweaver,
            Thank you for the link. Great interview. Outrageous example of tyranny, plain and simple. Heads should roll. Where is the justice department? Where is the coverage in the MSM that this deserves. I see it is getting some now, but I believe it should be front page, lead stories everywhere. Our nation... Hell in a hand-basket...
            Regards,
            O.A.

            I just listened to the rest of it. She calls the MSM the legacy media or something like that for failing to report this stuff. She said Wall Street Journal, a paper I respect greatly except for the op-ed page, has covered it.

            O'Keefe suggests Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson could be involved. I hope he's wrong. I have met her several times. She offered to preside over my marriage. She went to both my grandparents' funerals. She really seems like a bright, upstanding person who would respect the spirit and letter of the law. People who worked with her daily spoke very highly of her. I would be very disappointed if she supported these raids. I will tactfully mention it next time I see her.

            The point O'Keefe makes at the end about there being no chance for jail time is powerful. The reason for breaking into someone's house like that is maybe they have key evidence of a murder or something, and they might get away or destroy the evidence. If they had probably cause to suspect a murder, I would support the raids. The alleged crime, though, is something on par with reckless driving.

            Thanks for posting the radio segment.

              Remember cg, politicians spin everything and while judges are not supposed to be political most are. Ask deep thinking questions when you get the opportunity. You will learn much more and most will shock you.

    People wonder how our benevolent government will cast us into Marshall law? Truth be told, there are not enough "lawmen" to do it nationwide. It would require 2-3 troopers on each doorstep to lock down the whole country. Any less than that and 2nd amendment devotees would begin protecting their rights.

    One city at a time, cherry picking the apparent leaders and blacking out the media, that's doable. Thank God we still have the internet! Whoops, the government just gave themselves the power to regulate that last week.

    That judge, and that DA, had better thank their lucky stars that Ragnar Danneskjöld was not abroad in the land to avenge these raids.

    Can you imagine...?!?

    Recall what Ragnar says to Henry Rearden: he never attacked nor plundered a naval vessel, because a navy exists to protect from force those who pay for its provision and maintenance. But recall also his decision to dispense lethal justice against the Project F guards. What does anyone suppose he would do in this case?

    If this is what we have to contend with, all bets are off.

    You have Jewish relatives now living in Germany? Never mind. Sit down! Shut up! Tie that Yorkie up or I'll be forced to shoot it. Quiet those kids down or else...
    What a nightmare. I don't know how many Constitutional rights were violated. Wisconsin is one of the most liberal voting states in America. How they ever got a Republican governor is a miracle.

    again and again you must be fearful of those who are implementing the actions without giving any thought to what they are doing. THEY are part of the growing number of people in the usa who simply put do not THINK. all of the publicity that this situation gets will not stop others from doing the same thing. Why(?) because we have a country primarily populated by people who do not know right from wrong and have no thinking skills. welcome to the new America.

    I do not generally watch videos on the library com-
    puter (trouble with headphones, and limited time
    allowed), but if something like what is described
    (written) has occurred, it does seem like Governor Scott Walker
    would do something about it. Has he said any-
    thing?

      it is out of his hands. it was a secrecy order, so he did not know about it until one of the victims broke the gag order. He would have to appeal to the Attorney General. Is the attorney general republican? I don't know. This should be on the Federal Justice Depts desk by now. they'll ignore it

      He is the reason for the investigation so if he says anything it will look like he is trying to cover something up. Rock & hard place. This has to come from justice and the legislature has to eliminate this crazy law. They all have their head in the sand at this moment.
