It is all about suppressing the truth.
“certain precautions we had taken over the years had been breached by Google.”
Don’t we have laws against hacking?
We all know the rest of that question...

It was never a good idea to do this via Google’s blogspot. And given the danger to his pension, I’m surprised he kept it up for so long. Maybe when he’s safely retired, through tips from cops still on the beat.
Worthwhile repost.

The 2nd item there, The End is Near, was foreshadowing.
Coincidentally....
Enjoyed CCC...
Some people won't believe this without "evidence", and apparently a statement by the people who are shutting down the blog is insufficient to qualify as "evidence" for some people.
They probably want to see secret documents from Google or something.
When the Nazis were shutting down Jewish businesses, i'm sure there were people out there asking for "evidence" that they were only targeting Jews.
Looking around and seeing a pattern is just too difficult for some people.

I was concerned because based on his reporting, nefarious forces might be able to drill down and figure out who he is.
They could at least narrow it down to a group and figure it out from there.
Top cop claims 1,127 people were arrested for carjacking crimes last year. The actual number? 178.
January 22, 2021 CWBChicago Citywide
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown called a press conference Thursday evening to talk about the city’s carjacking problem. He opened his remarks with this claim:
“In 2020, there were 1,417 incidents of vehicular hijackings. Chicago police arrested 1,127 — that’s 1,127 — offenders for these crimes,” Brown said.
That’s false. Completely, off-the-charts not true.
Last year, Chicago police arrested 178 people for vehicular hijackings. Who told us that? The Chicago Police Department.
The other 949 arrests that Brown lumped in with those were for criminal trespass to vehicles, a misdemeanor that simply means someone was inside a car without permission.
Many of those 949 people were passengers in cars that someone else stole — and they may not have even known the car was stolen. Many others were charged with criminal trespass to a vehicle for snooping around inside someone’s car looking for spare change. There are myriad ways to be charged with a misdemeanor criminal trespass to a vehicle. But putting a gun in someone’s face and taking their car is not one of those ways.
