Well, here we have it. ICE and Border Patrol are killing innocent protestors, U.S. Citizens to boot, and defining them as “domestic terrorists.” Then they’re hiding the evidence so that the agencies cannot be supervised by Congress or held accountable by the courts.
Now Senator Mike Lee (R – UT) and Rep. Tim Burchett (R – TN) are using their expertise as representatives of renowned maritime states (Utah’s Great Salt Lake is so salty even fish can’t live in it) to authorize piracy on the high seas.
These bozos want to revive from Civil War days the practice of “letters of marque and reprisal,” where ship captains can seize ships even outside territorial waters and keep most of the proceeds. No word as to whether they’ll be masked or if just an eye patch will do.
Because there’s nothing important for Congress to do except go on extended vacations, they’d like private pirates to take on the war against drug cartels. Nothing can possibly go wrong in their envisioned scenario!
Homeland Security still hasn’t provided information on any of the U.S. military strikes on “drug boats” in international waters, so one can assume these pirates will be just fine as judges and executioners of anyone whose boat they board at sea. Will they fly the Jolly Roger to identify themselves?
On another matter, consider the great lengths gun rights advocates have gone to in order to open carry in Wal-Mart and church. Problem is, the latest murder, of a V.A nurse, was filming ICE/CBP actions while trying to assist a protestor who was sprayed in the face. He never went for his weapon, and after they took it from him, they shot him multiple times anyway. But he’s not allowed to carry a licensed firearm, probably protecting his own neighborhood, because using his cell phone to record illegal government actions is “domestic terrorism.” He brought it upon himself, people, using his cell phone camera to “massacre” masked agents.
Look for more on what I’m calling the “Insurrectionist Full Employment Act” for Three Percenters, Proud Boys and other semi-organized militias of pardoned, angry white men who love using guns on citizens and those in the legal system trying to become so. I can see the recruitment ads now, similar to ICE and CBP. Perhaps they’ll purloin some Jimmy Buffet tunes. “Boat Drinks,” anyone?
My thoughts are with the people of Minnesota who are living in he** right now. We must stop this madness NOW! Yours in freedom, Dee
