Ray Epps et al. and the FEDSURRECTION
All_Pro_Bills replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Its speculation both ways if he was or wasn't on the federal payroll. Was he or wasn't he an asset? Why won't the DOJ/FBI answer a simple question? There are lots of examples where people were arrested and didn't enter the Capitol. As for Epps he did more than incite. He was also observed removing physical barriers and encouraging others to pass through the police lines. And if I recall, he was on the governments "most wanted" list for the event but suddenly was removed. Wouldn't the agency coming clean and telling the truth be better than continuing speculation? Instead of labeling skeptics conspiracy theorists demand the truth of the government. -

Epps was on film encouraging others to enter the Capitol. Inciting others to trespass. So are you suggesting the video is fabricated or the DOJ has no interest in prosecuting this "crime"? Clearly he was not charged as others were with less evidence. So why is he off the hook here? The idea he wasn't arrested because he is a government asset appears to be one very plausible explanation. Maybe the government can clear things up by telling the truth and being forthcoming with the facts but let's not hold our breath waiting for that to happen -
The American Media Should Not Be Trusted
All_Pro_Bills replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Everyone should understand its always been this way. But before the internet and social media the communications process was strictly hierarchical. Top down news media from ownership, editors, reporters, researchers, and so on down to the audience and consumer. It was easier to control narratives and transmit propaganda as required. But with the internet came peer to peer and peer to multiple peers communications, And not just one way but two way. Everybody found out everybody else was thinking the same thing they were, that the official narrative at time had lots of holes and gaps in the story. Dangerous discussions to power. So while it took a while the government message keepers figured it out. And here we are with lots of censors and blockers distributed in a manner consistent with the distributed information web with a central purpose in a de-centralized media environment. But too many points of contact leave lots of potential for exposure which is what is being revealed by the Twitter files. -

What American politicians and media figures do you trust? -
A politician faking his identity and qualifications, and then admitting he lied! Being honest about lying, that's a first. I thought the lefties sensing the potential to recover a lost seat were good with everybody being allowed to pretend to be whatever they think they are. If this guy identifies with being Jewish shouldn't this be treated with equity and be just as good as a dude that thinks he's a woman? I mean really, you need to embrace the concept. LMAO here.

I think the US goal is simple. To maintain the uni-polar world order where the US calls the shots and makes the rules, and everybody follows those rules. Threats to that order need to be addressed economically, politically, and if necessary, through military force. Major threats to that order being Russia, China, Iran to name a few. Ukraine provides an opportunity to address one of those threats via a proxy country doing the fighting while our leaders play the democracy card in order to solicit domestic support for the program without informing an American public mostly oblivious to this Imperial arrangement of the true motivation. I think that's it.

Liz Chaney was a bit of a puzzle. While she clearly had it out for Trump she did so while alienating herself from a large percentage of Republican voters as evidenced by her huge primary loss in 2022. And while Democrats across the party praised her for taking a stand against Orange Man and the MAGA segment of the party it's a certainty that absolutely none of those Democrats carrying her off the field on their shoulders would cast a vote for Liz against any Democratic candidate in any general election at any level. She played the part of hero well and sacrificed her short-term political ambitions to carry the torch for the establishment Republicans and Democrats against the upstart "populists" that threatened to interrupt the stranglehold they collectively hold on wielding power and control in Washington for some yet to be revealed reward. I say this with 100% certainty given that no contemporary American political would willingly sacrifice their personal ambition for the "good" of the country unless they profited in some way too. Agree or not no Washington insider is going to be the guy falling on the hand grenade in the fox hole to save their fellow soldiers.

Good point. And Miami signs Chubb to a big deal. Guess the moral is impulse buying can be expensive.

If the Broncos are in the mood to fire people, they might want to fully evaluate their GM and front office too. They got fleeced by the Seahawks in the trade for what looks like a washed-up Russel Wilson this season and saddled with a big cap-hitting contract with lots of term. A trade which will likely provide the Seahawks with a potential top 3 pick for a team that is going to be shopping for a replacement franchise QB. Well done, Seattle.

Great assessment and appreciate you sharing your experiences and insights. I'd summarize my feedback by saying that while we tend to highlight technology as the almighty factor it ultimately comes down to competent, motivated, well trained people with critical thinking skills that make the difference.

Some people choose to pass judgment based on the actor and not the act. Like a romantic partner might judge their lover's actions, Obama could do no wrong, so he gets a pass on everything regardless of the act while Trump can do nothing right, so he doesn't. I'd call it a lack of objectivity and I should add, emotion rather than logic and reasoning.

In short, an abuse of power where they investigate a targeted person, attempt to build a case, take "evidence" and assemble it in search of a crime rather than the traditional law enforcement practices and procedures of investigating a crime, gathering and analyzing evidence, looking for suspects and motive, and identifying the perpetrator.

Nuclear threat aside, do you think we're being sold an overblown mis-representation of the actual conventional threat the Russia miliary poses? Given their performance in Ukraine to date, I don't think anybody should lose any sleep over worrying about Russia invading western Europe for one. The image NATO and the Pentagon paint is the risk of something akin German blitzkrieg of 1930-1940 of Europe. Given observable actions, that appears to be a fantasy.

I suspect that a review of Mr. Epps' 2020 Personal Income tax filing 1040 to the IRS that shows a 2020 W2 addressed to Raymond Epps from the "FBI, PO Box 0109, Washington DC should confirm his involvement. But sadly, we'll never find out because we know the IRS and also Congress do not support the release income tax filings of American citizens because they value privacy and the law. -
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the morons and simpletons can still believe a group of mostly over-50, out of shape, unorganized and unarmed yokels were going to take over the Capitol, declare their "leader" President, hold the building against assault and siege by heavily armed superior law enforcement and military personnel, force Congress to certify the election in their favor, and biggest of all, force the world's most powerful military fighting force into unconditional surrender while magically taking over all government facilities and organizations everywhere in the country to neutralize any opposition to their "insurrection" plan. Dismiss the idea a thinking person might expect, that such a coup would require actions in 100's of places simultaneously but the idea they were going to pull it off by occupying a single building shows the genius of this plan. I eagerly await the coming premiere of the movie. I'm thinking Meryl Streep as Liz Chaney sounds like a sure thing for best actress. The entire escapade, a fun filled drama of comedy and laughter for the whole family. The J6 Committee would like to extend a Merry Christmas to everyone but our friends at the Center for Diversity have reminded me the censors will not allow the use of the term Christmas. But in the spirit of saying to hell with the PC police, Merry Christmas Bills fans.
