The one thing you need to know is that Fedzilla runs amuck and there is nothing we the people can do about it.

We are subjects.

Actually, this is the beginning of wisdom regarding any powerful government. It sunk in for me in the late 80’s.

The US Government is much like the USSR. The difference is that the methodology has improved. It is not effective to just “disappear” people off to Gulags. It is better to have so many laws that you can prosecute them in broad daylight.

And a huge benefit of a prosperous culture is that as everyone gets comfortable with the modern conveniences of 21st century western culture (Yes, this isn’t just about the US), you sort of force complacency out of fear of losing not your life and “freedom”, but your comfort. In a way, the huge colonies of homeless in Seattle are a daily reminder to the worker bees that “this could be you” if you don’t toe the company (and government) line.

As long as you don’t stand out, or do something like write a manifesto about your company (the guy at Google who was fired for stating the truth), you’ll probably be fine.

Then there’s Seth Rich...

And the feds can always be counted on to revert to their swamp creature ways. When one of theirs is under scrutiny, they'll go into a defensive crouch and lash out at any interloper who dares cross them.

I have no trust or faith in the American justice system. That whole Constitutional provision of "equal protection under the law" is a sick joke. The common folks abide by the set of rules established by the elites, who benefit from an entirely different set.

See your point but I have to politely disagree. We allow ourselves to be subjects because we don’t pay attention, get complacent and keep sending the same a-holes back, time and time again. Pick a new candidate and we have a 50-50 they’ll do the right thing. Keep sending Ryan and McConnell back and 100% we’re screwed.

This country was founded on people getting fed up. It’s a shame 1-2 million, armed to the teeth, aren’t marching on DC, demanding change.

Along with all this corrupt FBI/DOJ nonsense, we also had BLM, BATF, IRS, Election commission corruption as well.

It seems the gubbamint in large part has turned rogue. Pretty scary if ya think about it.

If the IG has an investigation and issues a report and no one is held accountable, does anything matter?
