The FBI Searched Me on LinkedIn
Right after my 'When Is Violence Justified in Response to Totalitarianism?' article.
You may have read, and even commented on, my article on Thursday in which I posed the question When Is Violence Justified in Response to Totalitarianism?
Well, apparently the FBI was interested in the question too, because within a couple hours of sharing the article to LinkedIn, I got this notice:
Sure, it could be a coincidence, but the timing is certainly interesting. In the words of The X-Files’ Fox Mulder, “If coincidences are just coincidences, why do they feel so contrived?”
Adding to the fun was the possibility that the person or persons taking a look were Bureau lawyers:
Coincidence or not, it is an interesting topic for discussion, because exactly this sort of thing does happen all the time.
Before Obama’s slow-motion coup replaced the leadership of the FBI (and CIA and Pentagon) with left-wing operatives, the FBI regularly took a look at people and entities on both the left and right in order to scan for domestic threats. In any conventional analysis, this makes sense.
Now, however, the Department of Justice is, for obvious partisan reasons, concentrating on putatively “right-wing” domestic ‘threats.’
I have no doubt that some actual threats in that category exist, but they are now painting with such a broad brush that mothers complaining at school-board meetings are being deemed potential “domestic terrorists.” The whole thing is absurd.
Individuals and groups that might—legitimately or not—be deemed a ‘threat’ tend to have one thing in common: they have a complaint about something.
Then again, not all complaints are created equal…
Left-wingers protest a lot of things. Some of it is about the environment or specific matters of justice, but a heck of a lot of it boils down to them wanting to take other people’s stuff.
Every left-wing protest I covered back in the early 2000s—antiwar, anti-Israel, pro-amnesty, etc.—was organized by communists. Every environmental protest includes signs that attack “capitalism.” BLM protests march into rich neighborhoods and warn the residents that some “forced redistribution” lies in their future. Most left-wing ‘solutions’ boil down to taking money from people. Many left-wing protests involve actual violence and do tremendous damage.
Meanwhile, the mothers complaining at school board meetings just don’t want their third grader given picture books showing how to engage in “anal play.”
The difference between the left-wing groups—which the FBI has begun largely to ignore—and the putatively “right-wing threats” they are now concentrating on boils down to this:
The left, generally speaking, are trying to get something.
The right, generally speaking, just want to be left alone.
Want to make these supposed “right-wingers” happy? Just stop doing stuff to them. Don’t give their children books titled Johnny’s First Ball-Gag. Don’t tax and regulate them into poverty. Don’t take their land. Don’t lock them down, close their businesses, and force poison into their veins.
To borrow from, and slightly adjust the words of, the great Frederick Douglass,
“What shall we do with the right-winger?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing.”
Indeed, increasingly, the people that our government looks at as potential ‘threats’ aren’t “right-wing” at all—they are just normal people who simply want nothing done with them.
The communists considered dissidents to be domestic threats.
The Nazis considered the French Resistance to be terrorists.
Why wouldn’t people resist totalitarianism? The only people who like it are the ones who impose it. Governments create the complaint, and then treat the complainer as a threat. Gross.
We are no threat to anyone. We just want to live our lives. What is so hard to understand about that?
Hmmmmmm 🤔
I once had an 'All-star' profile on LinkedIn. It was the most exposed I have ever been on the Internet. I had the page active for around 15 years and it never once got me a job, or did anything beneficial for my career whatsoever. The premise of the platform is a ruse, aside from Social Engineering, it only serves as a platform for parasitic headhunter recruiters to make money off of the hard work & education of people with genuine skills they do not possess.
After Microsoft acquired LinkedIn, it went into full Bernaysian propaganda mode and became a sewer of Social Engineering. I had many pissing contests with obsequious, servile, boot-licking meatheads in various agencies of Government, as well as the military, and was once 'warned' for posting a meme I made of Nancy Pelosi as the Creepshow Crypt Keeper. That was the end for me.
I experienced the same thing as you, feckless twits in Government agencies creeping my LinkedIn page, but I wasn't nice about it. I would confront them, if they had no legitimate reason, i.e. a need for my professional services, I would berate them for their ignorance of civic law, tell them GFY & blocked them.
Upon my retirement, I deleted all of my data and my profile/account, but I had to force LinkedIn to provide legal proof they had none of my personal information, after somebody kept trying to open new accounts with my name and email address. I had to have an attorney send them a letter in order to get a legitimate response, and a binding commitment to stop it, and only then did it actually stop.
Trusting LinkedIn seems foolish to me. It is quite literally, Bill Gates window into the lives of every member. Moreover, Bill Gates' very success is built upon illegitimate criminal collusion with Government from day one.
Not at all surprising, I live in DC and the Government Paranoia runs deep. These creeps have hurt so many people in so many ways they see enemies under their beds every night.
There's no need to investigate me, 'cause my every breath, every thought is captured and cataloged. I have 17 1/2 years direct experience with the most mind-invasive and physically destructive technology, It's trite to say it, I'm a Targeted Individual.
But my life was invaded when I was about 5 years old, and I wasn't aware of that until several years after my life's work was stolen, and I was driven from my home by e-weapons in 2006.
I'm not at all pessimistic about my own life, though I have first hand knowledge of the depths of evil to which the TPTB have reached. Government is in the hands of the dregs of mankind, and these are the kind of creatures who believe "my way or no way".
If youre not familiar with the T.I. issue, check facebook, twitter. Check V2K, RNM and related topics, to get an idea of what your government is doing to certain people, because it can.
My long term plan is to tend my own garden.
