Some y'all need this:
In 1966, Robert Watts said, "If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J." This led to his conviction for threatening the President. But was it a true threat or political hyperbole protected by the First Amendment?

2/ Watts v. United States (1969): Watts, an 18-year-old, made the statement during a Vietnam War protest. He was charged under a federal law prohibiting threats against the President. The Supreme Court reversed his conviction, shaping how we view free speech today.

3/ Key Issue: Did Watts’ statement constitute a "true threat" or was it political hyperbole? The Court ruled it was hyperbole—crude, exaggerated speech meant to express strong political dissent, not a genuine intent to harm President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The FBI were the original Navy SEALs (of self-promotion with film and print). Matthew Cecil:

"To head off such fears, the FBI under Hoover began what became a decades-long effort to court allies in the press. One of the more unusual aspects of this campaign was the creation of a five-agent ghostwriting division that cultivated journalists with ostensibly personal letters from Hoover."

“Thank God that a man like J. Edgar Hoover is the head of the FBI,” read one ringing endorsement in The American Magazine in 1955. “He is the greatest bulwark against the insidious Communist menace that is casting a shadow over this great land of ours.”

"The unit sometimes suggested particular articles for 'special correspondents' to write. 'The article’s publication provided Hoover with cover from the Left that the bureau cited for decades thereafter as evidence of its restraint in civil liberties matters,' Cecil notes. Some journalists writing about the FBI even submitted their work to Hoover for his review prior to publication."

🚨NARRATIVE TRAP - BETRAYAL🧵

Here is a direct line discrediting Julie Kelly, Sean Davis, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, & the pathetic John Nantz (who can't believe his luck he finally got picked at dodgeball) about J6 Warlord Steven JENSEN.

The Con INC spin is on!

Nantz's article is a smear of @SeniorChiefEXW aka George Hill. Hill held a TS/SCI with full-scope polygraph for over 35 years and in combat zones. Nantz uses discrediting language to call him a "non-Agent." The below reference to "candor" is his "appeal to authority" fallacy.

No one can claim FBI Agents are above lying. This is classic FBI propaganda from Nantz, the "boot-licker" @dbongino called out in 2023.

Former Act-Director, then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was removed for lying to his own agency. FBI Agents can be bad people.

Summoned by the propaganda gods, @julie_kelly2 appears IMMEDIATELY (I win the @SuspendablesUSA pool) to throw shade on anyone exposing Steven Jensen.

Julie, the HERO of J6ers, is now covering for the head of Domestic Terrorism Operations Section on J6 and the following months.

Julie, known expert on FBI paperwork and court proceedings despite no background in law enforcement OR the legal field, has been "doing her own research" on Jensen... which means what? She has access to FBI personnel files? Or case files? Or... other files an FBI exec generates?

PREDICTION: The FBI's new management will distance themselves from whistleblower testimony proven true after Congressional investigations to continue the status quo. Congress will suggest perhaps all of their fundraising and Fox News hits exaggerated the problems at the FBI.

Hilarious AND sad. Jeremy is 100% correct.

If you show up and you are scared of your NAME being associated with the TAXPAYER funded agency you work for... WTF are you doing?

Remember: ABD+D. Always, Be, Closing, (the) Door on the FBI.

For those asking: outside of some of the tactical vehicles or the marked command post vehicles, agents don't drive G-rides with GOV plates.

They are American made fleet vehicles, but will have regular state plates.

🚨 How much of the $143,000+ Julie and John Kelly have given to politicians have been to Democrats?

Prior to Nov 2016, Julie Kelly seemed content doing propaganda for the Big Ag businesses under the guise of a regular "suburban mom" who teaches cooking classes. She lives in a 10,000 sqft home in Orland Park outside of Chicago IL and is married to John J Kelly, Jr - a lobbyist and owner of .

One of their biggest clients is , a roughly $100B a year agribusiness.

"ADM is a global leader in both human and animal nutrition. We utilize the power and provisions of nature to create ingredients and solutions that generate safe, healthy, and sustainable nutrition for people and animals around the world."

Julie's home was purchased for $1.356M in Jan 2011. The point is - the Kelly's have been well-off since long before you heard of her, and her shilling for Monsanto and pesticides, and her @tomcolicchio feud (documented below in her own words) appear to be a hobby. Tom's account is clearly on the political left, but it didn't stop Julie from picking fights with a man for clout. And, due to the horrible nature of social media, and a husband with connections to major news outlets - she was miraculously able publish an editorial in the @WSJ.

In her words, she was upset that a cook got into politics. Pot - Kettle. Kettle - pot. “Why is this cook lecturing me about politics and food stamps?" So she was inspired by picking a fight over food issues which also were her husband's client's issues. ()

Apparently, much of the writing Julie and a guy called Henry Miller did was published in Forbes, but retracted after an @nytimes article in 2017 exposed their articles as thinly veiled ghostwriter pieces for Big Ag and pesticide companies. They are still archived on the Genetic Literacy Project - a website run by a former Phillip Morris disinformation operative and initially funded by Bayer/Monsanto with $100k if you believe the organic watchdog groups who looked into it.

Julie popped onto the scene in the political writing world with the Federalist and then later with American Greatness. The first archived piece from @FDRLST was a few days after the 2016 election. ()

In this piece she states: "Aside from the policy differences and mixed enthusiasm, one factor brought us together: Hillary Clinton. It all boiled down to a common refrain I heard from women and men, which was, “I can’t vote for her.” The disdain, even disgust, for her was palpable. Corrupt, dishonest, phony were the most common descriptors. Her complicity in the Benghazi terrorist attack and subsequent cover-up were high on the list of reasons MY FRIENDS WOULDN'T VOTE for her, along with her private email server and questions about the Clinton Foundation." (emphasis added)

This is curious because on 3/29/2016, Julie contributed $2700 to Hillary for America - the @HillaryClinton campaign for president against @realDonaldTrump. This was in line with her and her husband's pattern of giving money to @TheDemocrats including Harry Reid, @BarackObama both senate and presidential campaigns, and more. She actually supported @AdamKinzinger for Congress with $500 in 2012 in an amusing turn of events.

But people change, and Julie is entitled to change. However, it becomes harder to explain the fact that she supported and donated $2800 to @JoeBiden on 12/17/2019. At the time she was writing for American Greatness () and likely writing her book trashing the #NeverTrump part of the @GOP. Her book "Disloyal Opposition," published in July 2020, has an amusingly ironic title. As people supported "the Great Julie Kelly" on podcasts, TV, and now her subscriber funded @X and @SubstackInc accounts, #MAGA readers were funding a household that has donated over $130,000 to all of the Democrats they dislike intensely.

Since Trump first took office, and Julie was writing for conservative publications, she and John donated to @BetoORourke, @SenatorDurbin, @timkaine in VA, @TammyMurphyNJ, @KamalaHarris (via Harris Victory Fund - previously Biden Victory Fund), @jontester, @SenBobCasey, and the @DNC.

All of this information was obtained using publicly available information on the internet from my home. You don't need special access or databases. The donations can be seen on the government's FEC contributions database. The search parameters were chosen using OSINT that took about 30 minutes to generate. I spent more time writing this post than looking this up.

The point is - stop being so trusting of people's motives when they are going to attack @SuspendablesUSA for simply sharing accurate information. Julie was wrong about the language in the FD-888 used to execute the Mar-a-Lago search warrant. @dbongino decided to back Julie's false information and publicly attacked a number of men who have more skin in the game and future's on the line than either the Bonginos or the Kellys.

If you blindly follow this woman who has attacked @shipwreckedcrew, @TPC4USA, and others without justification or cause, you are supporting Democrats. Financially.
(Journalists who wish to received the FEC search parameters can request via DM. The answer to the headline question is over 90% by my calculation.)allcirco.com/clients

Just remember - the ENTIRE online "conflict" between @julie_kelly2 and the @SuspendablesUSA came from her falsely assuming things about the FD-888 used to run the search warrant at @realDonaldTrump MAL residence. As in my first interview given with @dbongino, I have lost friends over this raid. I have never stated it was the appropriate tool. But I also believe accuracy is important and false/misleading statements give "the other side" (read this FBI/DOJ/USGovernment) room to wiggle and make excuses.

Everything about the DOJ Deadly Force policy is standard and MUST be written in the op-order for the op to happen. Because a magistrate judge signed it, it MUST be executed. Those who executed it should live in shame. Here are the tweets with inflamed the ire of the once food blogger/propagandist turned MAGA reporter Biden/Hillary/Obama financial backer.

You'll notice - they aren't personal, they aren't inflammatory, and when Julie was approached separately by others who have ACTUALLY served FBI search warrants, they ALL agreed with my statements (as have dozens of retired and former LEOs).

The Story was, is, and always will be that the FBI should have asked to conduct a consent based search through DJT's attorneys. But the moment the Bureau chose "search warrant," the language, the ops plan, and the tactics became far less negotiable. The @FBI is deeply compromised and operating for political outcomes. It should be disbanded and replaced with title 18/21 deputized state or local cops. But being accurate in criticism means something.

I reached out to @SeanMDav to see what the @FDRLST take was. He decided I was an op...

even though he was paying @julie_kelly2 while she was donating to @JoeBiden. She has articles from 2016 til 2024. ()

But... She gave $2800 to Joe in Dec 2019. Weird. thefederalist.com/author/julieke…
