1 Apparently the Portland cops are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

3 On the off chance that European Conservative makes it to these comments:

18 U.S.C. § 111 - It is a crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with federal officers engaged in their official duties.

18 U.S.C. § 372 - It is a crime to conspire to prevent federal officers from discharging their duties.

18 U.S.C. § 373 - It is a crime to provoke violent interference with federal duties.

This is what an insurrection looks like. One can argue that civilians disrupting federal law enforcement aren't engaging in an insurrection (one would be wrong but one can argue the point). Here, however, there's no argument: when state and local officials engage in these actions the state or locality is clearly engaging in open rebellion against the national government.

Trump was trying to stay ahead of this situation to prevent just this sort of escalation. The activist judge threw fuel on the fire by blocking deployment of troops which would likely have cooled things down. Trump isn't the threat to American democracy nor is he running roughshod over it. He's trying to save it from a violent, militant left that is aided and abetted by a few state & local governments and a small number of activists in the judiciary.

4 Report on DoJ Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department

Also: In the wake of the riots, the federal government stepped in to address the perceived failure of the state court system to deliver justice. The U.S. Department of Justice charged the four officers with violating Rodney King’s civil rights.

And so it seems there is precedent and legal basis for DoJ to come down on the Portland and Chicago police departments like a ton of bricks.

5 DOJ getting serious about state immigration non-compliance
The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin County, and two officials — Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison and Hennepin County sheriff Dawanna S. Witt — alleging that state and local “sanctuary” rules unlawfully obstruct federal immigration enforcement.

8 /\ DoD clandestine intelligence collection on US Citizens (USCITS) is/was (30 years ago) strictly forbidden. An exception 'was 'incidental collection' (intelligence collected on Non-USCITS, where USCITS were incidentally collected against)

As most are aware, all CLAN collection must have the prior approval of you know who.

Unfortunately I can't really undestand what is spoken in that video (too much noise). Can you or anybody else clarify?
