Very scary things are happening in the United Kingdom. Sir Mark Rowley, Met Police Commissioner, has threatened to jail U.S. citizens over online posts he deems hateful or disinformation. At the same time, the UK is openly enforcing a two-tier system of justice where antisemitic rioters, pro-jihadi and pro-open borders thugs are given free rein to terrorize citizens, and those who object are beaten and jailed. One jurist has, in fact, just sentenced someone for being a just a looker-on and even retweets of anything the UK overlords object to subjects one to arrest.
I’m not worried about Rowley’s threat because, unlike the UK, the Founders recognized that without free speech citizens have no agency in their own governance. Recognizing its importance, they made the right to free speech the very First Amendment to the Constitution. If conduct in the U.S. is not illegal, no extradition request could be honored. But it is clear that many Democrats, like their autocratic Labour counterparts in the UK, would love to muzzle us and they have put forth untenable definitions of the parameters of this right.

The Limey elites want to lock up Americans for saying what they don't want to hear and we should stay out of the European's business? Too bad we can't go back in time and have stayed out of Europe's business 83 years ago.
ReplyDeleteFrom link - " If conduct in the U.S. is not illegal, no extradition request could be honored.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but they're real goal is to silence people into submission, and one way to do it is to make the extradition request, and make the subject spend a few thousand dollars on a lawyer to fight it. It's called lawfare.
"When a deep state wants someone to shut up, it doesn’t usually resort to a head shot (unlike its immigrant population), it just uses up their time and money."
They are trying to do the same thing in the US. If Musk did not buy twitter we would be screwed.
ReplyDeleteAnd Musk is not a guy we can trust, even if he is saying [some] of the right things at the moment. He is a shaky ally at best, and still openly holds some views on policy that are detrimental. Which is to say that we are still screwed.
DeleteFor most people, copium springs eternal. But violence is now the guaranteed outcome, irrespective of what players like Trump and Musk do (or fail to do). Their efforts, even if sincere (and I don't believe they are) are too little, too late.
Better yet, make that about 107 years ago. We shouldn't have gotten involved in the first fiasco. The world might have been better off, as the 1918-20 Spanish Flu originated in the US at one of the Army supply bases that was set up for our military ramp up. Only killed ~40 million worldwide.
ReplyDeleteSpanish Flu came to the US via Canada from the same place every great plague and influenza always has and always will come from (except those made in labs, of course,) that being Western China.
DeleteWhat did it was Chinese immigrants (mostly illegal) being transported in rail cars across Canada, and then those rail cars being used to transport US recruits to a recruit training facility.
The bug from China mutated from a medium to kind-of bad flu to a semi-dangerous one, easily killed by high fevers in the human host.
It was the widespread use of Aspirin, the wonder drug of choice at the beginning of the 20th Century, to reduce fevers that blew Spanish Flu into a major killer, as lowering fevers allowed the bug to spread throughout the body.
And the prevailing method of treatment back then was combine all the sickies in one place. Often not a well-ventilated place.
The real killer amongst civilians besides using Aspirin was, of course, masks that kept in infections and allowed molds to grow and kill the hosts by secondary lung infections.
And, funny, there's one Dr. who was part of the research team behind figuring out how the Spanish Influenza became a mega-killer. One Dr. Anthony Fauci. So all of the methods he proposed to fight Der Covid were the same that were ineffectual against the Spanish Flu.
How to combat any flu or virus. Isolate, treat secondary infections, get sunshine and fresh air, lots of liquids, and since 1955 (hydrocloroquine) and 1970 (ivermectin) treat with HCL and Ivermectin. But there's no money and no social control in all of that.
I wish I had thought to do screen shots of Fauci's two NIH papers on the fact that more people died from bacterial airway infections than the Flu, and that the worldwide mandated masks were implicated in those bacterial infections. They were removed during the covid runup.
DeleteI hadn't heard about the railcar vector, and the Aspirin influence.

Thanks Dave.
DeleteThe 2nd one was around 2017, I think. I suspect that the supply of disposable masks during the covid fiasco was what kept it from going really bad, since the 1918 masks were cloth, and not changed until the end of the day for cleaning, if even then.
Tell the right honorable Sir Mark Rowley that we will meet him in Concord, Mass to discuss his demands… ask him to wear a red coat….
ReplyDeletePart of their threat is to arrest the citizens who tell them to F off whenever that person touches Brit soil, or that of a country subject to them.
ReplyDeleteThe other way that they will attack our people is through the Five Eyes spy network, which is already cooperating to spy in each others' country, where domestic laws allegedly prevent domestic spying.

Those Brits of a mind to resist tyranny: pole arms are easily made, and worked well in past ages. Salvage any firearms you happen upon. If you were in Europe, you could buy AKs on the black market. You begin to see why our constitution could not be ratified without the first ten amendments (Bill of Rights)? We had unfortunate experience with the British methods of rule.
ReplyDeleteJust another nail in Londonstan’s coffin. Two wars were fought to keep them free, but I doubt there will ever be a third one due to sh-t just like this. Our government is becoming as bad as theirs, but we still have the first amendment. MERICA!
ReplyDeleteGeorge Santayana said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Sir Mark seems to have forgotten what happened the last time the Brits sent people to enforce their laws on our soil.
ReplyDeleteExtradite him for making terroristic threats to Americans.
ReplyDeleteAnd there it is.
DeleteWhen I read about this in the news a couple days ago, I went to the Met Police website to see if there is a way to lodge a complaint or report a crime. Turns out there is. I couldn't get to the end of the web form before whoever monitors the form kicked me off. Of course I wasn't very polite in my comments on this asshole. I did point out that we have Free Speech in this country something that the English and most other UK Commonwealth countries do not. I also made disparaging comments about King Charles just to rub a little more salt in the wound and challenged the asshole to come get me.
ReplyDeleteHere's the website. https://www.met.police.uk/
As to these wankers enlisting one of the three letter agencies to carry out an extradition request from the UK, I think that's pretty far fetched. These agencies have much bigger fish to fry like every day Catholics and PTA soccer moms who are complaining at school board meetings.
You know, real terrorist targets like me and other commenters on this blog.

The Brits are an ungrateful and ungracious collection of louts, eh what?
ReplyDeleteCC
Almost makes me want to open a new FaceBook account and devote it to Anti British memes. I'm your huckleberry.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as that limey bitch sends an extradition request, counter with an Interpol arrest warrant for him contravening the United States' Right to Free Speech. Then label him the fucking Fascist he really is.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that when the fuckin' English named someone a "Sir" it was an honorific. I guess nowadays it's like "combat veteran" is here, as regards A-Walz. Don't mean nothin' anymore.
ReplyDeletep.s. and just like Scammy, brother - I will ride this lying motherfucker until he disappears
I did manage to go to their UK website and fill out a complaint about their asinine behavior. Guess I can cross a trip to Scotland off my bucket list.
