Denial And Normalcy Bias In The Face Of Tyranny

Lavoy Finnicum’s shooting death has fostered an argument among self-described Patiots over whether or not he had it coming and deserved it, or if it is just another example of a totalitarian state we are comfortable with.

I’m reading it all over the place on Conservative discussion forums and blogs: the argument whether the ambush and shooting death of Lavoy Finnicum and the arrest of Ammon Bundy and the other protestors in Oregon was justified. The arguments are downright vicious and threatening of themselves and they reveal several things about the situation in America that does not bode well for Liberty and private property to exist much longer in a nation that has grown comfortable with tyranny.

As an observation, I find it interesting that there was no division among the Democrat Left over the actions of Michael Brown, Black Lives Matter, The New Black Panthers or Occupy Wall Street protesters who actually engaged in acts of criminality, mayhem, intimidation, death and destruction.  Instead they were in lock-step support of those groups and actions, whose leaders were all invited to the White House for pow-wows with Obama and given legitimacy by the media and a vast expanse of the populace.

No such unanimous support is found among a vast expanse of the ideological “Right” or the Patriot movement over the Bundy’s efforts to stand against federal tyranny over private property rights.  Not saying there should be, but I do find it interesting that the domestic enemies of the Constitution and republicanism are not divided over their banner men.  Conservatives, not so much.

Rather than getting into semantics over actions Finnicum made in his final moments, I want to share a larger point I made about why there was even a protest against the Federal Beast in Oregon to begin with.  That point is this: NONE of this would have ever happened had the Federal Beast been adhering to it’s limits within the bounds of the Constitution. A rancher family would not be imprisoned for doing what was necessary on their own land to protect their home from a lighting fire.

Sadly, few wanted to discuss that, and those that did sound no different than the politicians in D.C. that have empowered tyranny to become a staple that the American people are now comfortable with.

We are witnessing just more of what Jefferson wrote when he penned in the Declaration all experience has shown that men are disposed to suffer evil, while evils are sufferable rather than abolish the forms to which they have become accustomed.

In response to a statement that declared Finnicum’s actions mistakes that justified his execution, I made the point that when a tyrannical government no longer has any legitimate moral authority and is busy imposing tyranny and arresting and executing citizens it declares terrorists – at what point should we realize that it is better to die fighting than begging on our knees for mercy from a despotic beast?

Why do we refuse to recognize tyranny at the hand of the Beast in Washington?

That was when the scourge of Normalcy Bias and Denial revealed how entrenched it is in the minds of those we assume are on ‘our side’.

The reply was that Finnicum was completely wrong on every count of his actions that resulted in his shooting death.  It is wrong they said, to evade a roadblock, no matter the circumstance.  No matter who it is in uniform, or why they are there – one must always comply with the directives given.

So I asked in an analogy, that if this was 1774 would we be writing that the Colonists at Lexington Green acted completely wrong? That they should have never been on the Common and never assembled in formation against the British Regulars after that first command from Pitcairn to disarm and disperse? That they should have NEVER fired that first shot at a superior British force and NEVER should have resisted when the British regulars charged with bayonets and skewered John Parkers men?

I stated I was curious as we denounce those who actually stood in defiance of tyranny as being stupid. Had the Colonists lost Concord, I am sure the historical analysis would be about the same as it is being levied against Bundy and Finicum right now.

The fact they stood at all should be of primary importance to consider, rather than the tactical error they may have made leaving the refuge in the first place. At some point we have to resist, because the longer it takes for us to do so, the less chance we have to preserve what liberty we have left, and eventually our own lives.

Evading ambushes are not grounds for surrender either as some suggest.

The fact is, much of the Revolutionary War was a series of ambushes set up by the Redcoats, and there are myriad examples during the War of Independence of Washington’s miraculous escapes from one set of ambushes after another.

At some point, we have to begin wrapping our minds around the fact that the State is imposing despotism upon us. We are being ambushed every day by the cabal in DC: laws passed in the middle of the night in thousand-page bills that not a single representative has read that abolish by fiat your inalienable rights under mountains of regulatory control over every aspect of your life and property.

Do we surrender to it, or resist it?

Because that is where we have arrived, whether we would admit it or not. Resistance or acceptance.

Good men doing nothing in the face of evil and tyranny has come about as the result of denying we even suffer those things. At least those folks in Oregon made an effort, and the policies of tyranny being imposed by the Fedzilla in Washington has a few more folks aware of what is being done with impunity to the folks who raise your steaks and hamburgers.

Let’s not kill the reason there was an armed protest in Oregon to begin with, by declaring what they did as stupid and foolish. Because if we do, any just cause to resist what is being systematically done to us will perish before it is ever born. And that is EXACTLY what Mordor on the Potomac wants to make sure of.

The reply I received to that argument is what prompted me to discuss it here on this blog.  I was told that this was not Lexington and it is not 1776, that the Colonists did not have a Constitution to protect them, and we do.  They went on to make the following points which almost completely ignore the tyranny we currently are comfortable with:

We do not have federal troops quartered in out houses. 

No. We have a surveillance Police State where every movement we make and every transaction and correspondence we partake in, is collected by the government for unspecified purposes under the guise of ‘security’. We cannot use our own property without permission from the State and nearly every activity we engage in is regulated and requires license.

We have representation from the politicians and people we elect to office. 

Really?   The last 10 years more than illustrate the fact that we do not have any representation in DC.  Because the moment we send someone we think will serve our interests and UNDO dictatorial and Unconstitutional infringements on our Rights and the Rule of Law, they are corrupted by the Ruling Class into supporting their Statist Agenda and empowering the Beast even further.

We do not have a King.

Tell that to Obama, the Democrats, the Judiciary and the GOP leadership that allow him to act like a king with impunity.

and we have a Judicial System, and a Constitution, and a Bill of rights.

Meaningless and ineffective against the velvet coup that usurped them all. Lawlessness has not been rectified or stopped. We have nothing to show for turning the House and Senate over to those who promised to stop this fundamental Marxist transformation of the country, except that the very people and party we empowered, handed a defacto dictatorship over to the Federal Beast on a silver platter, and those of us screaming about it have been held in contempt by the same.

Our recourse has been limited to voting for Establishment cronies, and those with eyes to see are about to discover just how much our redress of grievances has been eliminated in the coming months given all the hints and clues coming out of the mouths of the Ruling Class.

The colonists had none of those things.

No. They had a religious and moral foundation with an innate understanding of where their natural born rights came from and recognized that as soon as the king sets himself up above the Moral Law, he ceased to have any legitimacy and unkinged himself in the tyrant, upon which they had a duty to resist and throw off. We have none of those things today.

I can appreciate the wishful thinking that so many continue to insist on in terms of where we are as a Constitutional Republic and what is left of our rights.

I no longer share those views.

The evidence each day is overwhelming that the very institutions they think safeguard our God-given rights, are corrupted beyond redemption, repair or restoration. The rot is to the core. The institutions cited as proofs there is no tyranny, exist to serve the State, not the individual; serve a Fascist gravy train, not independent Capitalists.

Their faith in the courts is as misplaced as those who assert electing the next politician is going to save us.  Obama and the Democrats did not spend the last decade stacking the courts with Marxist/Maoist/Leftist Radicals by mistake or accident. And those are LIFETIME appointments, most of them.

Lavoy is just one more in a litany of victims of a tyrannical state that with each day is growing to the point it will by necessity consume absolutely everything in order to sustain itself and will not tolerate any dissent or allegiance to anything but itself.

What is disconcerting to me, is that on many of the same fora that complain that no one is doing anything to try and stop the tyranny being imposed upon We The People by the Ruling Class Oligarchs in DC, are the same that castigate and denounce the minute few who actually do.

It seems Denial and Normalcy Bias has neutered the Patriot movement itself regarding whether or not absolute despotism is being imposed against what remains of liberty in this country.

And no wonder.  A people who no longer recognize sin and evil, are not a people who will recognize tyranny and despotism either.

 

Obama Doubles Down On Inciting Race War

“Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” Says Obama, “If a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different.”

His Heinous today tried to give himself some distance and plausible deniability in what appeared to be a rambling stupor about the Trayvon Martin case the weekend before Black Poverty Pimps and Race Baiters like the Black Panthers attempt to stoke violence across the country this weekend.

In the consistent efforts Obama continually succeeds in accomplishing,  he creates the illusion he is not responsible for anything perceived as a negative, while signaling to his hordes of his real intents and agenda.  They then carry out his wishes and agenda while Obama plays to the camera and deceives the people into believing he is not to be held accountable for the existing conditions.

Obama is the one who single-handedly stoked the passions and decided to make Trayvon Martin  his cassus belli for race chaos last year.

Of course the media whitewash of the gang thug and thief Trayvon actually was,  helped fan the flames of hatred.  They edited the audio tape of Zimmerman talking with police dispatch and made it appear that Zimmerman was following Martin because ‘he was black’.  Obama’s InJustice Department then sent their people down to help protest and demand an arrest.  They engineered the firing of the local Police Chief for refusing to file charges.  Then the Obama media and the Poverty pimps insist Zimmerman is white, rather than hispanic.  Obama’s comments about his son looking like Trayvon is what launched the case from a local one to a national political case.  The only resemblance that actually exists is the contempt that both Trayvon and Obama have for whites and the rule of law.

Today The Won gets up in front of the cameras to create a barrier between himself and what may happen this weekend if the efforts of his troops to start violence over the verdict succeed.  Obama sends go-signals to the same while duping the casual listener into believing that he respects the ‘system.  His Heinous has now publicly voiced the same position that Sharpton, Jackson, the Black Panthers et. al have  in the aftermath of the verdict.

Given he has sicced Eric Holder and the entire InJustice Department on Zimmerman, to file civil rights charges and get Zimmerman in jail for ANYTHING – Obama reveals his hand in stoking a racial conflict.  His subtleties are waning as he gets more brazen with power.  Obama  creates the illusion he is a lamb, while speaking as a dragon (Revelation 13:11).

OBAMA: ‘TRAYVON COULD HAVE BEEN ME’

Speaking at the White House on Friday, President Obama addressed the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial for the killing of Trayvon Martin for the first time since 2012, when he declared that if he had a son, he’d look like Martin. This time, Obama said, “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.”

“A lot of African-American boys are painted with a broad brush…If a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different.”

We must say to white America, “Your time is up!” Black Panthers Declare Race War

The New Black Panthers are offering a $10,000 reward for killing George Zimmerman and declares that white America’s time is up.  Obama and Holder silent.

History teaches that a people who suddenly find themselves in the midst of a genocidal bloodbath, ignore the statements and the efforts made to wage war on them.  Indeed, we may say we have no interest in a race war with Black MarxoFascists and their Gruppenfuhrers, but the fact is that their war is interested in you.

Could you imagine what would have happened if the KKK put out a public bounty for OJ’s head after he was acquitted of murder by the black jury in his case?  Exactly, the black Poverty Pimps would have gotten the entire weight of the Justice Department to haul them all (rightly so) to jail and had them all up on charges.

But in this case – as we saw when the Black Panthers were involved in voter intimidation in Philadelphia, Holder and Obama give them a pass and an excuse to break the law and act as Brownshirts for the Regime.

Mr. Conservative breaks the news.

Black Panthers Offer $10,000 Bounty For George Zimmerman

The New Black Panthers are offering a $10,000 reward for killing George Zimmerman, even though he was acquitted of all charges after shooting black teen Trayvon Martin.

Yes, you read that correctly.

On camera, a New Black Panthers spokesperson said they are going to give $10,000 “for the capture of George Zimmerman. We’re going to force our government to do their job properly, and if they don’t we will.”

“We’re saying to President Obama, you gotta do your job on this one buddy… So white America, we have given you 400 years to get it right and you still have failed black people. We’re not even citizens in this country. We’re still third class citizens. Today as black men, we must stand up. We must say to white America, ‘Your time is up.’”

Offering a $10,000 reward for a law-abiding, free citizen is not only wrong, it is a felony in most states. It is also a disgusting hate crime with ethnic motivation. With so much evidence, here on video, this should be a slam dunk for any prosecutor.

But where are the protestors now, demanding “justice?” Where are the Sanford politicians and prosecutors who were demanding George Zimmerman’s arrest and prosecution? Where is Eric Holder? Where is Obama.

Nowhere to be found.

UPDATE:  Black blog radio and blogger says Zimmerman MUST BE KILLED and tells blacks to arm themselves followed by warnings to Whites that they are about to enter “hell”.

Eric Holder and his InJustice Department are not interested in such online death threats.  Holder is busy preventing Zimmerman’s gun and other belongings be returned to him while opening up a posse hotline for people to call in any dirt on George Zimmerman.

Race War Commeth!

Obama lit the fuse on a race and class war using the Zimmerman case.  The verdict is in, now the war comes – just as orchestrated. (UPDATE: Holder comments)

The mob wants justice they say.  Nevermind the facts presented at trial – the outcome was not what the Obama regime or the Democrat MarxoFascists, or the black race and poverty pimps wanted.  They wanted a conviction.  They wanted a death sentence.

They did not get what they wanted, so they will use the Obama government to get what they want, or hand down their own brand of ‘social justice’ themselves.

The George Zimmerman “murder” trial of black teenage gangsta wannabe Trayvon Martin was an absolute ridiculous kangaroo show trial of the worse sort.  It is a miracle that the jury was not swept up in the emoting politics and stuck with the evidence and the letter of the law, and I give them credit for doing the right thing, regardless of the political pressures being brought to bear.

But this case was a win-win for the ‘revolution’ of Obama’s fundamental Transformation of the country regardless of what the outcome was.  Marxists require continuous conflict and the threat of or actual mayhem and bloodshed for their ‘transformations’ of society to succeed.  A race and class war ensures the goals of Obama’s transformation will be met and completed.

First, the Obama regime lit the fuse by getting involved directly in the Zimmerman case to begin with. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon” was the most blatant pick-my -side effort of railroading I have ever seen come from any leader in my lifetime excepting the famous despots of the last century.  Second we learned Obama’s InJustice Department under Eric Holder, SENT money and  personnel down to Florida to stir up unrest and demand that the locals and the state charge Zimmerman with murder.

Justice Department facilitated anti-Zimmerman protests

A division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was deployed to Sanford, Florida in 2012 to provide assistance for anti-George Zimmerman protests, including a rally headlined by activist Al Sharpton, according to newly released documents.

The Community Relations Service (CRS), a unit of DOJ, reported expenses related to its deployment in Sanford to help manage protests between March and April 2012, according to documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.

Then Obama’s goons pressured the Sanford Florida city council to fire their police chief for refusing to arrest Zimmerman for murder due to a lack of evidence in the case warranting such a charge.

Ex-Sanford Police Chief Tells CNN He Was Fired For Not Arresting Zimmerman

“I had one of the city commissioners come to me on two different occasions and say, ‘All we want is an arrest.’ And I explained to them, ‘Well, you just can’t do that, you have to have probable cause to arrest somebody.’ And it was related to me that they just wanted an arrest, they didn’t care if it got dismissed later. You don’t do that.”

But now that the circus show trial is over, and the jury found Zimmerman NOT GUILTY – there will be hell and blood to pay for not doing what the Obama regime and their mob of black racists and Marxists demand.  The push is now on to find Zimmerman guilty of something, or stoke the mob into a bloodthirsty frenzy – all in the name of ‘justice’.

Hitler’s Brownshirts, Mussolini’s Squadrisi and Stalin’s NKVD have NOTHING over what the Obama cabal and their sycophantic mobs are going to unleash.  All in the name of ‘justice’.

But that is what Fascist dictators and their seig-heiling masses have always done historically.

Stoke a race or class war – preferably both. Then in the mayhem and chaos – the iron fist of ‘salvation’ will be brought down by the regime and the ‘real’ transformation begins.

Outraged NAACP Wants Feds to Prosecute George Zimmerman

 The NAACP was “outraged” over the not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial and called on the Department of Justice to prosecute Zimmerman for shooting Trayvon Martin.

Senate Leader Harry Reid asks for the Justice Department to prosecute George Zimmerman, “This Isn’t Over With”.

Breaking: Justice Dept.: Zimmerman case under review

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Sunday it is looking into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors will file criminal civil rights charges now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.

And of course, everyones favorite Poll Worker has declared the Race War is begun and is inciting Obama’s army to act against the “White Devils”

ZIMMERMAN VERDICT MEANS ‘WAR’

The George Zimmerman verdict is a declaration of war that only the devil can applaud, according to the Twitter feed for the New Black Panther Party.

The Twitter account, managed by the group’s national chairman, Malik Zulu Shabazz, further urged followers to “take to the streets [and] stay there.”

“Were at war,” Shabbazz Tweeted. “Its (sic) silly and immoral to call for peace when war has been declared.”

Like all ghetto thugs, such scum are only brave if they attack in packs, or think they have the government war machine behind them.  In which case – we learn that the Black Panthers have Obama and his InJustice department in their back pockets.

ZIMMERMAN CHARGES, DOJ ACTION SPARKED BY NEW BLACK PANTHERS PRESSURE

Like the racially-charged sham prosecution of the Duke lacrosse team, the racially charged prosecution of George Zimmerman was partly triggered by the threats of Malik Zulu Shabazz, the head of the racist and anti-Semitic New Black Panther Party.

The New Black Panther Party was among the first groups to agitate for Zimmerman to be prosecuted, starting with a rally outside the Sanford, Florida police headquarters on March 11, 2012–just three days after the Associated Press had errantly referred to Zimmerman as “white.” Al Sharpton, widely credited with fanning the flames, arrived the next day.

As Andrew Breitbart reported in 2011, the New Black Panthers’ Shabazz also marched with candidate Obama and shared a podium with him in Selma, Alabama in 2007.

Shabazz is also the same defendant that Attorney General Eric Holder and his Justice Department cut loose from the voter intimidation case of United States v. New Black Panther Party, a case I prosecuted. Shabazz was dismissed after we obtained a default against Shabazz for failing to respond to our lawsuit.

That’s justice, Eric Holder-style.

After Trayvon Martin was killed, Shabazz took his act on the road to Sanford, Florida.

There, Shabazz used threats of mob violence, as he did in Durham, North Carolina, to cause Sanford law enforcement to tremble and to act. At those rallies, the New Black Panthers announced a bounty on George Zimmerman. One Panther poster said “dead or alive.” Recently, another of Shabazz’s henchmen stated he hoped Zimmerman would be killed in prison.

Most importantly, at these Sanford rallies, Shabazz demanded action–both from Holder and in the form of criminal charges against Zimmerman. He would get exactly what he demanded.

Criminal charges followed his threats, even after the police found no probable cause.

Eric Holder also acquiesced to Shabazz, sending the Justice Department Community Relations Service (CRS) to Sanford.

In the past, including when I served at Justice, the CRS prided itself on impartiality–in both perception and fact. But not anymore.

Holder’s CRS didn’t travel to Sanford to restrain the mob. They went to Florida to help it.

 

UPDATE :

Remember when Justice was blind?  When facts and evidence are weighed in the balances to determine adjudication and application of the law??  Not so with the Obama regime and the Chief Law Enforcement officer in the country Eric Holder.

A speech at Delta Sigma Theta sorority convention this afternoon, the AG made the following comments about the Zimmerman case:

“The Justice Department shares your concern – I share your concern – and, as we first acknowledged last spring, we have opened an investigation into the matter.

Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally-charged issues that this case has raised. We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity pass.”

This is coming from the Demagogue who said “America is full of cowards” over race matters and evidenced the refusal of giving into the demands of the Black Community.  Note that he employes the Axelrodian “Let no crisis go to waste” meme of the Obama regime with his remark that “We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity pass”.

“Opportunity” for WHAT??  Opportunity to riot?  Opportunity to have a lynch mob get the punishment they demand upon Zimmerman?  Justice is not blind with this Obama regime.  “Justice” is whatever they say it means, regardless of the law, regardless of the evidence.

Also notice his use of “Independent of the legal determination that will be made”.  What that means is that he and Obama are going to act as they see fit REGARDLESS of what a court or jury have to say on the matter.

That’s blatant in-your-face tyranny folks.  Obama and Holder might as well tell the jury to go back and deliberate until they come back with a guilty on all counts verdict.  That’s what this is.  The government declaring a man guilty – despite evidence to the contrary for the sake of furthering a political end.  Same as this despotic bunch declaring Edward Snowden guilty of treason.

I cannot help but lament the loss of real justice in America.

Justice now means whatever the mob and the Ruling Class who stokes the mob demands.  Even if the mob is a minority in society that leeches off the productive people and wages crime and warfare upon them in the name of ‘social justice’.

Now Holder and Obama are subtly stoking the fires of rage and keeping the issue of Zimmerman’s acquittal alive for political purposes.

Then Obama has the audacity to lie bold faced through his spokesidiot Jay Carney and say

“President Barack Obama won’t intervene in the Justice Department’s determination of whether to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman”, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday.

The president “has no position to express” on how the department chooses to move forward in its response to the killing of Trayvon Martin, and the decision will be made by career prosecutors and not by the White House, Carney said. “The process will be handled in the way it should be at the Department of Justice and certainly not here.”

They really do think we’re stupid, and they are playing to the abject ignorance of most people about how the government is set up.  The Department of Justice IS A WHITE HOUSE CABINET POSITION.  The DOJ is PART OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.  Holder IS Obama’s man on instituting his politics in adjudicating the law as Obama sees fit.  Anyone remember Obama telling Holder NOT to enforce DOMA before SCOTUS decided to abolish the law?  How about NOT enforcing border security?

Holder will act in accord to what Obama wants done, all-the-while denying they have anything to do with it.

That’s crap.  That’s a transparency we see right through on.

 

 

 

 

 

Democrats On How To Steal An Election And Commit Vote Fraud

Undercover Investigation reveals Democrat Jim Moran’s Field Director (his Son) advising how to forge utility bills in order to commit vote fraud.

You just had to know that The Chicago Way  of election fraud would reach historic levels this cycle.  Cook County machine corruption has gone national and promoted by Obama’s own InJustice Department.  I fully expect entire cemeteries of dead to be voting this election, along with hordes of illegals and via Democrat operatives engaged in identity theft and fraud.  In 2008, after Eric Holder refused to prosecute the New Black Panthers carrying billy clubs for voter intimidation at polling places in 2008, the audacity of  this regime knows no bounds.  Citing fears of Conservatives engaged in ‘vote suppression’ by enforcing new voter-ID laws, the Obama regime  has invited the UN to come in and MONITOR the U.S. elections to find evidence of ‘Voter Suppression” by Conservative groups in key cities and areas outside of Democrat bastions of power like Chicago and New York.

Meanwhile, while thugs of the New Black Panther Party suggest they will be back at the polls to ensure there is no “intimidation against our people.”, black civil rights leaders aligned with Obama call for international assistance to stop voter verification that they claim is ‘vote suppression’.

While Obama’s Justice Department works with Democrats in states to deny military balloting, Project Veritas has released an investigation that shows Democrats longtime VA Congressman’s Field Director, conspiring to commit election fraud.  That Patrick Moran is the son of the Congressman, makes the conspiracy to commit fraud even more alarming.

When approached by an undercover investigator for advice on how to steal the votes of more than 100 people, Moran advised falsifying documents to satisfy Virginia’s new voter ID law. He said, “Bank statement obviously would be tough, but they can fake a utility bill with ease.”

Moran went on to clarify that, “You’d have to forge it.”

The entire video of the investigation and the damning video evidence is here:
