The FIB is not protecting “us”. They are protecting government power “over us”.
They are actually protecting the deep state, most of which is not government but the trillion dollar parasitical grift sucking the life-blood out of government and turning into a zombie against the people.
That is right. This author fails to note that the actions by the DHS, FBI, CIA, etc were all to help Democrats and hurt Republicans.
It was more than suppressing constitutionally protected free speech, but it was also interfering in our elections and activiely disrupting the functions of our elected government.
Spot on. The FIB is the Stasi of the Deep State. Once you understand that, then everything they do makes sense.
It is their democracy, not ours. Hence, their obsession with right wing extremist nationalist threats that rarely materialize and their demonization of populism. Populism is not as profitable, I guess. We are just the drug addicted stinky people at Wal-Mart that should never be allowed in the Capitol.
Then 'intelligence' needs to explain why - if they're so superior - why don't they present their case to the American people. Why hide and lie? Ask Americans if we'd like to be run by a secret police force? I know why. Do they?
Or better they could run Brennan or Wray for office and see if anyone outside of 'intelligence' would votes for those thugs.
