"A CALL FOR VIOLENCE?"

Today, I choose violence. Literally.
GEOFFREY INGERSOLL
EDITOR AT LARGE Daily Caller

I know calls for violence are generally frowned upon. The issue is … I simply don’t care.

Part of the social compact in this country going all the way back to its founding there are simply some things you do not do. When you do those things, well, you might just end up with a few extra knots in your head.

Thus, the title of today’s newsletter … 
 
A CALL FOR VIOLENCE

It’s all about cost, and the cost is not high enough.

In some places, the cost is nonexistent. We need to reinstitute a public debt for anti-social and subversive behavior. In my opinion, some of this cost needs to be summary and ultra-violent.

Is this a call for violence? Yes. Explicitly it is.

The law is not enough. Or, it’s non-existent. Somewhere deep down inside we’ve always known no one is coming to help us. We need to help ourselves.q 

It reminds me a bit of this old bar fight story from good ol’ Teddy. Sometimes bullies require immediate and overwhelming force.

"It was late in the evening when I reached the place. I heard one or two shots in the bar-room as I came up, and I disliked going in. But there was nowhere else to go, and it was a cold night. Inside the room were several men, who, including the bartender, were wearing the kind of smile worn by men who are making believe to like what they don't like. A shabby individual in a broad hat with a cocked gun in each hand was walking up and down the floor talking with strident profanity. He had evidently been shooting at the clock, which had two or three holes in its face. ...As soon as he saw me he hailed me as 'Four Eyes,' in reference to my spectacles, and said, 'Four Eyes is going to treat.' I joined in the laugh and got behind the stove and sat down, thinking to escape notice. He followed me, however, and though I tried to pass it off as a jest this merely made him more offensive, and he stood leaning over me, a gun in each hand, using very foul language... In response to his reiterated command that I should set up the drinks, I said, 'Well, if I've got to, I've got to,' and rose, looking past him. As I rose, I struck quick and hard with my right just to one side of the point of his jaw, hitting with my left as I straightened out, and then again with my right. He fired the guns, but I do not know whether this was merely a convulsive action of his hands, or whether he was trying to shoot at me. When he went down he struck the corner of the bar with his head... if he had moved I was about to drop on my knees; but he was senseless. I took away his guns, and the other people in the room, who were now loud in their denunciation of him, hustled him out and put him in the shed." [Text excerpt describing Theodore Roosevelt’s barroom confrontation in Mingusville, Montana Territory, from An Autobiography (1913).]

They “hustled him out and put him in the shed.” Ah yes, Teddy knew how to deal with bullies.

Thursday bothered me a bit, on two fronts. One is that Comey got indicted, and the reaction was predictably unhinged. I’m not going to unpack the case, it seems clear he lied to Congress. An Eastern District of Virginia grand jury, hardly a bastion of conservatism, returned an indictment. Just like they did over censorship and Kimmel’s firing, amnesiac liberals squealed about political perversion of the Department of Justice.

Steven Bannon went to prison for four months. It wasn’t even that long ago and he wasn’t even the only one. All he did was defy a congressional subpoena. Democracy will survive if James Comey spends time in jail for lying to Congress to cover up a subversive conspiracy to undermine Trump. 

Let’s do Fauci next, how about that? He definitely lied to Congress too. Then let’s investigate Ilhan Omar, AOC, Barack Obama, and everyone in Clinton world. Let’s put Biden world through the wringer. I’m freshly out of shits.

Truth be told I don’t even care if Comey or Fauci end up in jail. As long as the arrest and adjudication process absolutely ruins them.

I also don’t care if Democrats turn around and do the same thing to Republicans. The GOP is full of morally bankrupt, lying elites too. Swamp creatures, profiteers, unpatriotic turncoats, transactional voters in the Senate. 

Let’s purge them.

If this is the new normal, I’ll take it. Your squeals are music to me. They are the soundtrack of nature healing.

There should be a cost. For the lies, for taking the American people for granted, for selling them out at every end. For bullying them nonstop. Let’s reinstitute the cost.

Moving past the legal “violence,” let’s get to the actual violence, shall we?
Alvin Bragg’s office dismissed a felony assault charge yesterday. That shouldn’t be a shock to anyone — nobody is more renowned for soft on violent crime prosecutions than Bragg. What is shocking though is in this particular case the act was caught on film. What’s more, the assailant then went on social media and bragged about doing it.

Pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao was doing a man-on-the-street video in Harlem, New York, when she was abruptly and viciously assaulted by a woman she was interviewing.

Brianna J. Rivers, a brutish, hulking woman, socked Antao in the face twice the moment she was distracted.

This is dead-to-rights felony aggravated assault. It should result in prison time and probation.

Prosecutors initially downgraded the charge to a misdemeanor, then dismissed the charges altogether.

And the message couldn’t be clearer.

The message is clear: In liberal jurisdictions, it’s open season on assaulting conservatives. https://t.co/VfSHQV1l3h

How do we fix this? In corrupt legal scenarios, where the judges, prosecutors and even police are all a part of a rigged system, what do we do?

Choose violence.

We all know the government is not going to help you in your time of need. Especially a Soros-sponsored government.

Conservatives looking to peacefully assemble and publicly debate need to be realistic. Nobody is going to help you. In fact, they’re going to encourage violence. They’re going to excuse, justify and encourage it.

We saw as much with Charlie Kirk. They were practically begging someone to go after him, and when someone did, they quickly justified it.

Well, I think now that we know the extent of it, the time to go as lambs to the slaughter is OVER.

In real terms, this means: Bring security with you that’s dying to dole out drubbings. I’m sure a fair amount of ex-cons who found Jesus loved Charlie Kirk. Maybe they need work?

Whatever works. We need to reinstitute the cost. 

So some activist takes the sign next to your table at a public debate, like what happened here? She gets instantly clotheslined. I don’t care if police are present. Do it anyway. In fact, be wildly disproportionate.

A fat black lady assaults your on-camera talent? Book the kind of security that has no qualms hospitalizing her and people like her.

Dudes rope up your car and start vandalizing it? Bros dismounting with cudgels will fix that real quick. Turn it into an instant brawl. Break bones.
Force corrupt police to intervene. I want blood in the streets.

Speaking of costs, such a posture is indeed costly. It’ll cost money, firstly. Security isn’t cheap. It’d likely cost about $1,000 a day for just two guys. It’ll also come at a social cost, and a legal cost. Bragg might not prosecute militant liberals, but he’ll certainly take a conservative organization to court if his street brutes are harmed.

But you know what else isn’t cheap? The social compact in America. It comes at a cost. If patriots aren’t willing to step up and bear the burden, our people will continue to be harassed, assaulted, even killed with impunity.

What’s clear to me in these two examples is that liberals believe they have a monopoly on both legal and extra-legal acts of violence. They don’t. We need to show them they don’t.

We must stop clutching our principles and shouting “stop.” They own the legal system. That will achieve nothing. We need action. Disproportionate. Violent. Action.

Pain and suffering.

We need to raise the cost of obviating the social contract. Measure it in blood if necessary. Change requires pain, and you’re either taking it or inflicting it.

I know which side I’m on, and I’m more than ready to start putting people in the shed.

Another faux Tough Guy MAGA cosplay militia poseur? Nothing new, really.

 

Dawg, your clinical delusions of grandeur remain covered under Obamacare.

Let’s do Fauci next, how about that?

 

At times, I am deeply disturbed about the state of our society. But it is not so much about an impending public health disaster. It is about the crisis of truth in my country and to some extent throughout the world, which has the potential to make these disasters so much worse. We are living in an era in which information that is patently untrue gets repeated enough times that it becomes part of our everyday dialogue and starts to sound true and in a time in which lies are normalized and people invent their own set of facts. We have seen complete fabrications become some people’s accepted reality.

This is not a new paradigm. Propaganda—turning words and ideas into weapons—no doubt started thousands of years ago, and we have seen it used to devastating effect many times within the life span of this country as well as over the course of world history. We have seen how easy it is to undermine the foundations of our democracy and of the social order. What is new is the dizzying pace at which information gets disseminated and amplified on the internet and through social media, disorienting and dividing us as a nation.

These divisions did not come out of nowhere, and they will not go away overnight, because they are set in the minds of so many people. It is why I am putting my hope in the young people I encounter around the country and the world.

Which brings me to the next chapter in my life. When I decided to step down from my position as director of NIAID, I asked myself what I could do over the next few years while I am still filled with passion and energy and blessed with good health. The answer came to me quickly and clearly: to share my experiences with the world and particularly the younger generation where I might serve as an example and hopefully an inspiration for some to pursue a life serving others not only in the field of medicine and science but in any of a number of career paths that one might choose. This was my main motivation in writing this memoir.

It was also the reason I was delighted to accept the offer of Georgetown’s president, Jack DeGioia, to become a Distinguished University Professor at the School of Medicine and the McCourt School of Public Policy, where I can have daily contact with the bright and inquisitive minds on the Georgetown campus.

In the year since I stepped down as NIAID director, I have had the opportunity to lecture and engage in fireside chats and moderated discussions throughout the country. What became even more clear to me was something I already knew: that the diversity in our country in its myriad forms—geographic, economic, cultural, racial, ethnic, and political—makes us an attractive and great country. It is when this diversity gives way to divisiveness that society suffers. I have always been a cautious optimist, and I hope that the better angels in all of us, who tell us that we are more alike than different, will prevail and lead to a spirit of civility and respect for each other... [from the Epilogue]

Jeffery Ingersoll, son, we are not impressed.
