If there is no more to this story, it is so in our faces. The FBI has been operating as the Left's cleanup crew for a while, but this is just so over the top that they are just like worst of totalitarian dictatorship enforcers. They don't need a reason and if you ask, you are taken away. We might as well be up against the Stasi, for real.
Back in the 80’s, when I was manning the barricades against the Soviets, I used to wonder what it would be like to be a hapless Russian.
Like William Hurt and his detective workplace in the movie Gorky Park, it would be dreary, cold, dark and forlorn. Life would be like that for the vast masses. Like him, I would live with the knowledge that a single wrong move and the KGB could snatch me away... And the myth of the common man in charge would be destroyed with the knowledge of the life of leisure the politically privileged had. The ones I worked for, the ones I encountered along the way.
I couldn’t imagine a Russian having a normal life, and scoffed at Sting and the Police’s song, “Do the Russians Love Their Children, Too?” I would reply, “Not with all those nuclear missiles!”
But now, almost 40 years later...?
I don’t know what went wrong, but we’re living that dark, forlorn life, where with one wrong move, the FBI can snatch you away.
