I almost feel sorry for the feds that they have such weak defenders

Low-ranked law school "debunker" guy literally saying the Proud Boy informing the Feds of what was going on Jan 6 isn't an "informant" because the FBI now uses a different official term for informants
The spirit of this joke critique similar to the army of fact-checkers who descended upon Revolver's original piece's use of the phrase "unindicted co-conspirator"
Of course all of this (flawed) legal nit-picking about specific term "unindicted co-conspirators" is completely beside the point

The real Q is whether any of the individuals referred to in the charging documents of 1/6 are unindicted as a result of prior relationship with feds
For the record- b/c i cant resist

The DOJ *itself* called Person 3 - who is still unindicted - "the third co-conspirator"

So this "unindicted" person is a "co-conspirator" but not an "unindicted co-conspirator"?

They cant even win their own smokescreen technicality points

If a Caesar comes great.

The problem with Caesarism is the "trust the plan" larpiness that it often cultivates, to the neglect of a more sober account of all of the elements necessary to actually accomplish something real---which might be slower, more boring and more circuitous
Also I think there's a tendency to reduce Caesarism to mere populism which, if taken too literally, dangerously neglects the importance of getting the highest quality human capital to defect from regime
The tendency to conflate Caesarism with a Trumpist populism breaks down upon consideration of Caesar himself

First off, Caesar was a first rate and accomplished general in a society in which military was an elite institution (not the case in USA)

1/x The Revolver News story last week is perhaps the most underrated news story in the world.

revolver.news/2021/06/stewar…
2/x
More reporting next week, but let’s take stock of current state of play.

After our first groundbreaking report on Fed infiltration Twitter was in such a panic that a fact check was pinned to trending that “Yes, Trump supporters did attend protest”

revolver.news/2021/06/federa…
3/xAnother attempt to rebut Revolver was a ridiculous nitpick about the specific term “unindicted co-conspirator.”

While they’re wrong here too, to even stage a defense at this level is to effectively concede the larger point of fed infiltration

Trevor Aaronson is so desperate to be a good regime gimp, and yet still concedes:

"I think it’s worth noting that there’s a reason for the cultural stickiness of the claim by Revolver and Carlson. It might be a conspiracy theory, but it’s not exactly “baseless,” "
"That’s because there are genuine concerns that the sting tactics used over the past two decades against impressionable Muslims will be used against equally impressionable Americans with right-wing ideologies."

You don't say!
"In the supposed plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, for example, FBI agents and an informant played significant roles, raising the same question...Would this plot have happened were it not for the FBI?"

Trevor, no one was talking about Michigan re: 1/6 before Revolver piece

Maybe I'm misinterpreting this but I think it reflects an important misunderstanding

Simply put, China has way more economic and geopolitical influence in Continental Europe than US

They lobby in terms of dollar signs, not in terms of "values" or "ideology" in the way we do
So Eric's suggestion here that the "wokeness" in US as opposed to "rational" Europeans reflects relative Chinese influence is simply wrong

1 China has more influence on Europe than US

2 China does not lobby in terms of ideology. The "woke" comes from Westerners not Chinese
To make the point about Chinese influence concrete, Huawei is a pretty good proxy

Totally banned in US. Available everywhere in Europe, and in Italy it's used to build 5G infrastructure

I have a question for @TheJusticeDept and @FBI

The FBI released several 30-second video clips of the suspected pipe bomber, seeking publics help to identify him

revolver.news/2021/06/federa…
Two of the video clips are from stationary cameras where released clips begin and end with the suspect already in the middle of the frame.
One tape you released is of a stationary camera outside DNC Headquarters, which has the suspect directly in frame sitting on the park bench near where the pipe bomb was allegedly planted.
