Back before the election, I wrote about the ongoing struggle between productive, creative culture — maker culture — and “an overlapping network of entirely parasitic and obstructive commissars.” Here’s a magnificent example of what that means in practice, and what the costs are.
Ironically, the mere attempt at silencing him brought a tremendous amount of attention to the case, sort of proving the government correct -- publicity about what's going on here is VERY VERY bad for them!
Yes, the Streisand effect. The act of complaining about something causes it to go viral, way beyond anything close to what otherwise would have happened.
The one thing I took away from all the evidence that really sticks out in the Penny case isn't that Bragg railroaded him on racist grounds to appease his Satan-Emperor George Soros - that much was obvious. The thing that pissed me off, is still pissing me off, and that I can't comprehend is the leftist, hack-job, sellout, corrupted detective used both of them being Marines as a premise to get Penny to drop his guard and start incriminating himself: all to get a prosecution started for Soros-Bragg. It's in your face Communist tactics. Plan accordingly when talking to cops in the future, and maybe *some of that "military brotherhood" is done and over with. They will put you in prison before maintaining their integrity. Their ideology demands it.
I recently watched a very good video--it was quite a few years old but still relevant and maybe even more so than when it was recorded. It was done by a prominent attorney speaking to other attorneys--the subject was to NEVER talk to any law enforcement. People think if they have nothing to hide, what can it hurt but then the cops twist something around and suddenly they have a primary suspect.
The ONLY mistake Penny made was to talk to the cops without an attorney present.
They call it the CRIMINAL justice system for a reason. The perverse incentives of our legal system attract thugs, race baiters and money grubbers...in other words; CRIMINALS.
Changes have to be made. We should first start with the DOJ. Incentives determine behavior.
And not only that, the police did not inform Penny that Neely had died. So Penny didn't even understand that the police were interrogating him for an incident that might be charged as manslaughter. Unbelievable corruption.
Thank you for pointing that out, I'd overlooked it when replying but noticed it when I first saw the footage. Abhorrent behavior by the NYPD. You can hear the trust and cooperation in Penny's voice.
Just an American, I am not familiar with the specifics of which you speak. I want to be in a more knowledgeable state than I am if something like this happens to me. For instance, I know that law enforcement often deceives people into opening their residence doors (Let's talk, open your door, and let's talk.), which gives law enforcement the legal right to enter the home. Do you some references I can educate myself with?
There are quite a few legitimate and knowledgeable lawyers doing YT videos. I tend to gravitate to 2A types. But they do branch out. Washington Gun Lawyer, Armed Attorneys and for fun, Audit the Audit.
He breaks down cases very well, reads through all the filings and such. When there aren't any notable cases going on he does news commentary which I typically skip, but he chronicled all the Trump cases, Jan 6th indictments and persecutions, Rittenhouse\Chauvin etc to the hilt and in the minutia. Highly recommended when cases are ongoing.
Thanks for a good laugh! Thanks for a greater awareness of just how much destruction, harm, and distortion of the world is occurring by the hand of the woke.
The amount of money at stake should normalcy prevail is staggering - hence the all-out effort to normalize madness. Human beings going about their business of flourishing don't generate enough dollars to keep the ship afloat - instead, we need to destroy people and build them back up again out of manufactured parts, in order to slap a price tag on what God gives us for free, and out of love.
Your quote is so spot on it needs to be shared. It's all about the money:
"The amount of money at stake should normalcy prevail is staggering - hence the all-out effort to normalize madness.

Let me get this straight...the hospitals are "victims" because someone outed them for performing procedures that they assured the public they would no longer perform? By all means, toss the rascal in jail and throw away the key!
We just can't have folks undermining the confidence the public places in its most trusted institutions...especially when they're lying!
As I recall, Haim's alleged crime is that he violated the HIPPA privacy rights of patients when he provided information about the procedures that had been performed on minors to Chris Rufo and that he had made improper use of the hospital's database to obtain information about the procedures. But, he provided no identifying information about any patient. And, apparently, the DOJ's indictment contains more patient information than Haim provided to Rufo.
Correct. The Feds are likely prosecuting him for revealing HIPAA “protected health information.” There are over a dozen types of PHI that can apply, way beyond names, addresses, medical record numbers, or dates of care.
When there is millions of federal don't payout back dollars concerned, oh yeah you're toast. Haim is darn lucky he isn't out west lying in a shallow hole with a bag of lime poured on him. People are disappeared all the time in Texas for far less. Most of the time law enforcement are involved as well.
Haim needs to give his comments to someone else to post so the real story still gets out there. What if Tucker Carlson started to post on X about the case?!
Our side will turn their back on the poor guy before doing this purely because of optics of them doing this would make them appear lesser to their church community and small circle of republican friends.
What is interesting is that the Texas AG is letting this guy swing by the neck when apparently the college and hospital are violating state law. That fat fuck Paxton has gone after women for vollating state law by heading out of state for getting an abortion. I guess our win em all but you never see the funds joke of an AG is getting too busy flying out of state to avoid federal prosecution to back Haim. Yet he isn't too busy enough to file amicus briefs on every large payout lawsuit you hear about on the news.
That oligarchy they are trying to shove down our throats here via oil money sure is a virtuous corruption isn't it!
That's the first thing they do; change language, slant labels (anti and denier this or that...or simply not labeling one side of a debate, thereby making those who are labeled as representing the truth - or vice-versa) , and eliminate nuance. Then they go after the children.
They reason they do it is that language is a critical aspect of sharing time-experience with others. Disguising wickedness as "love" and empathy is all in an effort to create chaos, distractions, division and to push us against each other, in order to normalize DEPRAVITY.
Thats why it feels like we're living on a different planet then the radicalized left.
Just consider the difference between a right and a privilege:
A right is something /others/ have to grant you, based on some quality of yours.
A privilege is something /you/ must earn through a deed, proven and true.
Now look at Western civilisation pre-WW1:
Originally, your earned/inherited privilege what was /gave/ you the right to do and/or own something (or not do it).
We /really/ need to go back to that: earned privilege. Show that you can, and you have the right. Show yourself unsuited to it, and you do not. Everyone gets to step up to bat - but no-one has the right to be the next Babe Ruth.
The problem with Walter Kirn's tweet is, well, go listen to "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie.
Remember Kids! Authority hates being disrespected more than it hates being disobeyed. Disrespect is literally an existential threat to authority. Disobedience is just another day at the office.
“All of this energy for all of this nothing”. Think of the vast amount spent on addressing a climate non-crisis pile of nothing. We could be spending the money solving actual problems.
Deadweight fragile snowflakes in the dept of injustice everywhere. Why read social media during a case? Lawyers should be looking at the law not gasp 'mean tweets'. There is only the butchery of the rainbow cult here NOT THE LAW. The wrong person is on trial. Judge is another disgrace. The law should expose lies not cover them up
Nemesis45ever...I couldn't agree more that the judge in this case is a disgrace, just despicable. The judge knows he has effectively issued a gag order---which if formally issued might be subject to appeal, and perhaps reprimand-- without issuing a gag order. The very vagueness of his statements puts even more uncertainty about boundaries, which can only create more suppression for "safety's sake". What a POS coward.
He's getting paid off. If not by the Federales, then by Oil money. Go Google Paxton's financiers and you'll find the money. Same three people wrote the checks who paid off our state legislators when Paxton was going through his impeachment. Even had Paxton's mistress show up wearing a slutty red dress to hand them out. All on camera all on television live while the sham of an impeachment was being broadcast.
Any felon worth a damn is charged with multiple felonies. Having oatmeal for breakfast commits three or four, depending on whether you add bananas or blueberries (both, in my case, but I’m a b-a-a-a-d man). Trump committed—say it with me—34, and that’s only because the prosecutor couldn’t count any higher. And as the Daniel Penny trial made clear, once one charge goes down in flames, they’ve got the next one cued up like a DJ ready to “hit the post”. Without dead weight, they’d reveal themselves to be the lightweights they truly are. Pretty stupid of them to pick on a Marine instead of the mixed-up kids they’re stripping for parts. New York City is a liberal town that’s been mugged.
Imagine how much easier our convoys could move if they didn't have to stop and go on red alert everything there was a suspicious pile on the side of the road that COULD contain an IED.
WE KNOW this (but I will say it again) all of this is intentional as a way as an evil insurgency battling economic harmony social at every turn:
Trans
BLM
Covid
Ukraine (et al)
Elections
Forced illegal immigration
Fentanyl
Constant assaults on constitutional rights
Attacks from "friends" and "Family" eager to chant narratives.
Poisons in all forms...
etc.
I constantly have to keep my guard up, it is exhausting, and I fear I don't have the money to put up a good defense anymore...
Ironically, the mere attempt at silencing him brought a tremendous amount of attention to the case, sort of proving the government correct -- publicity about what's going on here is VERY VERY bad for them!
Yes, the Streisand effect. The act of complaining about something causes it to go viral, way beyond anything close to what otherwise would have happened.
As intended though - sends a message to all the other whistleblowers out there who don't want to spend the next five years facing the legal process.
Except there are changes coming in January. It will be prime season for whistleblowers to step forward when these Garland minions are asked to leave.
Exactly.
Exactly, perfect!
The Barbara Streisand effect…..

"...The leftist, hack-job, sellout, corrupted detective used both of them being Marines as a premise to get Penny to drop his guard..."
Penny spoke to the officers without a lawyer present. Never do that. The police are not your friends.
This is a great book that illustrates that concept well:
You Got Nothing Coming: Notes From a Prison Fish
Jimmy A. Lerner (Author)
I recently watched a very good video--it was quite a few years old but still relevant and maybe even more so than when it was recorded. It was done by a prominent attorney speaking to other attorneys--the subject was to NEVER talk to any law enforcement. People think if they have nothing to hide, what can it hurt but then the cops twist something around and suddenly they have a primary suspect.
Someone has just done a similar one for folks in the UK. Never talk to the police without a criminal barrister present, even if you're a witness.

Bill Kirk (WA gun law) is great, as is Robert Gouveia of Watching The Watchers.
Will have to check out the last one. I also follow Colion Noir.
He breaks down cases very well, reads through all the filings and such.

Excellent thank you for the recommendation.
Where do they get these cops who are so willing to take sides against their own people?
Bastiat's broken window fallacy is a perfect way to think about the "trans"-action costs of queering everything.
(Yeah, bad puns are what you get from econ nerds.)
I love old cars and old electronics.
Yet every time I want to write about Trans Ams and transistors my phone insists on suggesting something else.
I aked Siri when the 49ers bye week is
When is the Bye week for the Raiders?
Seahawks?
Siri said, "this is a lot of bye questions, are you bicurious?"
Thanks for a good laugh! Thanks for a greater awareness of just how much destruction, harm, and distortion of the world is occurring by the hand of the woke.
Its an absolute must read. I can't believe kids in high-school or college are no longer required to read it.
Bastiat is top 5 people to put pen to paper.
He was a polymath on the order of Franklin and Newton.
:)
You don't need to be an econ nerd to do bad puns.

Thank you for reporting on this. This is good journalism, Chris. This is why I want to continue supporting your excellent writing.
Time to stop policing those mean tweets, and go back to policing those mean streets! It’s beginning to sound like the UK here.
It's also beginning to sound a lot like Christmas . . . in dystopia.

It is HIPAA; not HIPPA. FYI - the acronym stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. :)
Oh, and here all along I thought it was the feminine form of HIPPO. ;)
Correct. The Feds are likely prosecuting him for revealing HIPAA “protected health information.” There are over a dozen types of PHI that can apply, way beyond names, addresses, medical record numbers, or dates of care.
When there is millions of federal don't payout back dollars concerned, oh yeah you're toast. Haim is darn lucky he isn't out west lying in a shallow hole with a bag of lime poured on him.

Haim needs to give his comments to someone else to post so the real story still gets out there. What if Tucker Carlson started to post on X about the case?!
smart, just like the prosecutors leak through the press as a tool...that can work both ways.
Yes. Our "side" is too nice.
Sometimes you can and have to get your hands dirty. The key is being able to do that without compromising ideals.
Our side will turn their back on the poor guy before doing this purely because of optics of them doing this would make them appear lesser to their church community and small circle of republican friends.

The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, screamed `Off with her head! Off--'
`You'd better not talk!' said Five. `I heard the Queen say only yesterday you deserved to be beheaded!'
I am so sick of the lie-laden phrase, "gender-affirming care." It's up there with "abortion care."
Reproductive care..
Yes, along with "reproductive rights." As if the right to reproduce requires the ability to murder one's child in utero.
That's the first thing they do; change language, slant labels (anti and denier this or that...or simply not labeling one side of a debate, thereby making those who are labeled as representing the truth - or vice-versa) , and eliminate nuance. Then they go after the children.

Language can also shape thought. Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" is of use here.
Exactly.
And obliterate history.

That's fair and equitable, isn't it?
Yep. It’s butchery, plain and simple - and everybody knows it. I’m sick to death of all the euphemisms. They’re simply a form of propaganda.
sex-denying care

In fairness to Alvin Bragg, 34 is 14 more than the number of his fingers and toes, so counting that high is kind of an accomplishment.
He threw in his chins to get from 20 to 34.
A walk-off home run, here.
Too funny!
LOLOLOL!
He couldn’t even get the number of Gs in his name right. Who does he think he is, Zelenskyy?
Maybe Alvin was counting by twos.
No way, that would be binary.
Lolol. You never disappoint
