Instructive to note how much this forum is driven by the news cycle. It’s discouraging to see how little interest the Waco story engenders.
I guess the day has come and gone when FR actually impacts the national conversation.
Yep. Because they're too smart to be fooled by a bunch of conspiracy theorists like us. Don-o, please go to this link and hear the radio interview with a long-time member and officer in the nation-wide Confederation of Clubs and Independents flatly state that the meeting where these people were arrested was a political meeting and it is held about every six weeks in that area of Texas, just like such meetings among/by CoCI are held all across the U.S. regularly attended by many hundreds of bikers, and in 20-plus years of them being held constantly and everywhere, there has NEVER been an incident of "gang" violence.
He states plainly that the CoCI is a political organization created by American motorcyclists of all stripes who want to keep up on and influence legislation affecting motorcycles, and these meetings are open-microphone affairs ALWAYS open to anyone who ride a motorcycle in America.
The pretence put forth by LEO that one group was "disinvited" is therefore absurd on its face.
This link is the most compelling I've found let to indicate the magnitude of the danger America is now facing, because even if everyone arrested is found innocent after three or four years of "due process" to remedy the lack of it in the original arrest, it is too late. Mission accomplished: otherwise average law-abiding motorcycle enthusiasts of the same demographic who have ridden on DC by the many hundreds of thousands, American flags waving and angry at the current administration, are for all intents and purposes taken out financially, professionally, and materially. Done deal.
And if the same thing happened tomorrow somewhere else, with bikers or some other kind of organized groups among which there are a few individuals wearing insignia that police "intel" defines as indicating announcement of criminal intent and the MSM obligingly demonizes as such to people who otherwise have little to zero knowledge of these people or groups, America would AGAIN fall for it at least long enough for the permanent damage to be done to the finances, lives, and reputations of patriots likely to resist government tyranny on a domestic front.
I am shocked, saddened, and resigned -- FReepers who generally boast about not trusting the MSM, are proving to be all talk -- the are demonstrating that indeed, they do trust the MSM to keep them informed. They just say they don't.
FReepers as a whole have allowed themselves to be wholly manipulated and fooled, because this modern American news story of significant magnitude historically comparable only to 9-11 -- isn't even on their radar. So much for being aware of what is happening on things that "impact" America.
