They Firebombed My Office
2-1-24 ^ | John Hinderaker

Posted on 02/01/2024 6:45:13 PM PST by TChad

It is true that I have been in Washington, mostly to attend the Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn trial. I will write up my thoughts on the trial (or at least, those portions I have seen) when I have time.

But something else has been distracting me: leftists firebombed my office last Saturday night. At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses. The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment’s office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls’ organization. A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve.

I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators. As I told them, the list of potential suspects is long, as my organization is active, and unusually effective, across a broad range of issues. I will have more to say about this before long.

********************************

I haven’t seen it covered either. It’s the type of thing the mainstream media does not want to cover.

I hope you’re not trying to imply that they firebombed their own offices. As to “any of these groups”, they revolve around the CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX the Globalists are using as an excuse to destroy Western Civilization and the people fighting that Globalist Hoax. Start here for more information on this current VERY important trial:

These people need to be careful what they wish for. The reason Germans willingly voted for the NSDAP in 1932 was that they were fed up with Communist violence (funded by Stalin)against the people and the press.

For now it’s just Trump, but if they keep it up it’ll be Pinochet and helicopters.

The most obvious suspects are the FBI, DNC, and Soros...

It is getting more and more like the 1920s & 1930s Soviet Union and the 1930s Germany...

Fortunately, the American serfs continue to snooze peacefully...

Yea, I don’t think the FBI is going to come out and admit that they set the fires.

And they are just getting started.

I hope no one among the left knows where YOU live and work. or the route you take to commute.

"I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators. "

That'd be like working with the SS to track down and prosecute those who were rounding up and killing Jews.

I didn’t see this on major news media outlets. Is this not news?

I was surprised too, which is why I waited for hours before posting the thread. I thought another Freeper would quickly post it. Hinderaker's piece was linked yesterday on (conservative) Ace of Spades, but was ignored by the leftist Minneapolis Star Tribune, which should have covered the hell out of it if only as a local crime story.

I think the bombing is being ignored primarily because the story serves the (forbidden) conservative agenda, but also because Powerline Blog is simply not as famous as when it was at the top of the blogosphere, being written up in Time Magazine and getting Dan Rather fired with the help of Free Republic.

For what it's worth, here's an article posted by something called "Alpha News":

The FBI did not have to set the bombs to be able to manipulate the investigation to harm Hinderaker and his fellow conservatives. We'll find out if they abuse their power.

This case shows how useful a non-politicized FBI would be. Who else was Hinderaker supposed to call?
