If there was ever an organization desperately in need of defunding, it's the FBI.

They have become a tool of state oppression of citizens, like the old East German Stasi. They actively incite crime to get people to commit it in order to then "catch" them and justify their budget.

But for BLM, they studiously look the other way and never prosecute...

The best way we can defend ourselves is to cut off their funding. We need to make a national movement out of this.

Local police deserve our funding and support, but the FBI deserves defunding and hard prison time for its upper management.

“Amnesty” comes from the Greek word ἀμνηστία, whose primary meaning is “forgetfulness.”

Interesting. That means "amnesty" and 'amnesia" have the same Greek root. So "amnesty" is just a Greek way of saying the mobster speak "FuggetAboutIt."

The corrupt FBI agents will simply quit the Bureau. They will simply change employment to the IRS as they are hiring a huge number of agents. Their pension benefits will carry-over from one agency to the other.

They will continue to torment MAGAs and will audit those persecuting the Deep State.

Whistleblowers recently disclosed how the FBI is “misrepresenting the scale of domestic violent extremism nationwide by categorizing January 6th-related investigations as organic cases stemming from local field offices, instead of all related to one single incident,” according to a report by GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee.

Shortly after the Capitol protest, FBI Director Christopher Wray designated the four-hour disturbance as an act of “domestic terror”; federal prosecutors routinely compare January 6 defendants to terrorists, enabling the government to seek—and receive—extended jail time for misdemeanors convictions and justify indefinite pretrial detention for nonviolent offenders.

During his Senate testimony in March 2021, Wray described members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, two groups involved in the events of January 6, as “militia violent extremists.” When Senator Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) asked Wray whether he considered either group a domestic terror organization, the director refused to answer directly, instead insisting “individuals” associated with both groups are “domestic terrorists.”

Those comments alone should be fireable offenses. Set aside Wray’s excuse-making for leftist rioters—in 2020, Wray laughably refused to apply the same label to Antifa, calling it a “movement or an ideology,” not a terror organization—no evidence exists to support Wray’s accusations that the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys mimic terror cells comparable to al Qaeda. Of the nearly two dozen members of both groups now facing charges tied to January 6, only one is accused of using a weapon (a riot shield) and it is alleged he used it to break a window, not harm a person, that afternoon.

Members of the Oath Keepers who drove to Washington to attend the president’s speech left their legally transported weapons at a Virginia hotel rather than violate the city’s strict gun control laws. Worst “militia” ever.

And no one in either group carried a firearm into the building or on Capitol grounds.


A completely unarmed "insurrection" of people who were deliberately let into the Capitol is no insurrection at all.

The FBI should not exist. At this point, it is merely a criminal organization in the service of Democrats used for political oppression very much like the East German Stasi was.

Of course the FBI will never do anything to Schiff at all.

The FBI is purely a criminal organization now, something that Democrats, and Democrats alone can call on to attack and imprison innocent Americans who question absolute autocratic Democrat rule via repeatedly fraudulent elections.

Everyone who works there should be utterly ashamed of belonging to an institution which is actively undermining impartial rule of law.

To give a short explainer, the talented Matt Taibbi posted internal Twitter documents around the 2020 presidential election which demonstrated how political operations – such as the Biden presidential campaign and the DNC – petitioned the company to remove “offending” tweets. Twitter complied. The Trump White House would make similar requests, but as Taibbi observe, “this system wasn’t balanced.” Instead, it was based on contacts. And as you can imagine, Twitter’s staff, especially at the highest levels, was far left and supported the Democrats.

Corrupt FBI agents (but I repeat myself) Elvis Chan and Laura Dehmlow should be in prison.

The FBI should not exist. It is purely a tool of political oppression now, has nothing whatsoever to do with justice.

The FBI's collusion with Facebook & Twitter to censor the bombshell New York Post story about the Bidens' corruption provided far greater election interference than anything Russia ever did.

Attorneys General for Missouri and Louisiana released the full 386-page transcript from their November 29th, 2022, deposition of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan, which was taken as part of a landmark lawsuit against the Biden Administration for colluding with social media companies to censor Americans.

Elvis Chan warned Twitter before the 2020 election to expect “hack-and-leak operations’’ specifically involving “Hunter Biden,” according to a sworn declaration by Twitter’s former head of site integrity, Yoel Roth.

“These expectations of hack-and-leak operations were discussed throughout 2020,” Roth said. “I also learned in these meetings that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden.”

“The warnings were so specific that Twitter immediately censored The Post’s scoop about Hunter Biden’s laptop on Oct. 14, 2020, citing its “hacked materials” policy,” Miranda Devine wrote in the New York Post’s coverage of the story.

“The extraordinary revelation for the first time lays bare how the FBI was involved in pre-bunking the story of the laptop, which had been in the bureau’s possession for almost a year.”

While Chan denies ever specifically naming Hunter Biden in the transcript of his deposition released today, “Chan’s testimony contradicts a previous sworn statement by Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of site integrity, stating that the FBI had named Hunter when warning the company about expected “hack-and-leak operations’’ before the election,” said Devine.


Here is the treasonous criminal Elvis Chan, who overtly used government authority to censor a political story of the utmost importance in order to influence a presidential election:

This is nothing new for Elon.

The establishment has been continually lying about his endeavors, launching investigations on behalf of short-sellers (not saying Tesla ain't overpriced) and committing unconstitutional orders against him all the time.

The first one I remember was when a NYT reporter supposedly drove a Tesla cross country. In the article the reporter wrote how often the Tesla broke down, didn't perform, etc. Musk turned around and said Tesla had all the computer records of the trip and the NYT was a bunch of bunk.

The establishment has spent plenty coopting those in the media (even bloggers) into writing negative articles against him and his businesses.

I hope Musk sued the NYT for libel.

Federal Regulators have also arbitrarily limited the number of Starlink Satellites to a fraction of the request, with no justification/rationale provided in their approval.

The FBI now wants the court to agree to keep the new records shielded from Brian Huddleston, a Texas resident who filed a lawsuit against the bureau over its ignoring a Freedom of Information request for records on Rich.


Christopher Wray should be in prison for life for running a mafia dedicated to undermining the Constitution for the benefit the Biden crime family among others, for interfering with the 2020 election, for pretending that the bogus Steele Dossier was real, for calling parents terrorists for objecting to porn in schools, for calling people who object to Wuhan Virus lockdowns terrorists, for actively violating the First Amendment in collusion with tech companies, for various false flag operations and God knows what else.

FBI needs to change FIB
343   richwicks   2022 Dec 18, 8:47am  

You know how the FIB is deeply embedded in Twatter and controlling what is said, and heavily censoring the public and feeding the public bullshit and controlled narratives?

That's what they've been doing for decades with CNN, ABC, NY Times, NPR, PBS, Washington Post, CBS, MSNBC, NewsWeek, The Boston Globe, USA Today, LA Times, Associated Press, Reuters...

This has been going on for your entire life, and mine.

Just so you know...

I do not find it comforting that a hyper-partisan private organization dedicated to a specific ethnic grievance is training FBI agents.

‘Twitter Files’ Make it Clear: We Must Abolish the FBI
written by ron paul
monday december 19, 2022

As we learn more and more from the “Twitter Files,” it is becoming all too obvious that Federal agencies such as the FBI viewed the First Amendment of our Constitution as an annoyance and an impediment. In Friday’s release from the pre-Musk era, journalist Matt Taibbi makes an astute observation: Twitter was essentially an FBI subsidiary.

The FBI, we now know, was obsessed with Twitter. We learned that agents sent Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth some 150 emails between 2020 and 2022. Those emails regularly featured demands from US government officials for the “private” social media company to censor comments and ban commenters they did not like.

The Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), a US government entity that included the FBI as well as other US intelligence agencies expressly forbidden from domestic activities, numbered 80 agents engaged regularly in telling Twitter which Tweets to censor and which accounts to ban. The Department of Homeland Security brought in outside government contractors and (government-funded) non-governmental organizations to separately pressure Twitter to suppress speech the US government did not like.

US Federal government agencies literally handed Twitter lists of Americans it wanted to see silenced, and Twitter complied. Let that sink in.

This should be a massive scandal and likely it would have been had it occurred under a Trump Administration. Indeed, Congress would be gearing up for Impeachment 3.0 if Trump-allied officials had engaged in such egregious behavior. But since these US government employees were by-and-large acting to suppress pro-Trump sentiment, all we hear are crickets.

What is interesting about these Twitter revelations is how obsessed the FBI and its government partners were with satire and humor. Even minor Twitter accounts with small numbers of followers were constantly flagged by the Feds for censorship and deletion. But knowledge of history helps us understand this obsession: in Soviet times the population was always engaged in joking about the ineptitude, corruption, and idiocy of the political class. Underground publications known as samizdat were rich with satire, humor, and ridicule.

Tyrants hate humor and cannot withstand satire. That is clearly why the FBI (and CIA) was determined to see a heavy hand raised against any American poking fun at the deep state.

There is good news in all of this, however. As Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley wrote over the weekend, a new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll found that even though the mainstream media has ignored the “Twitter files,” Americans have not. Nearly two-thirds of respondents believe that Twitter was involved in politically-motivated censorship in advance of the 2020 election. Some 70 percent of those polled believe Congress must take action against this corporate/state censorship.

As Professor Turley points out, although the First Amendment only applies to the US government, “it does apply to agents or surrogates of the government. Twitter now admits that such a relationship existed between its former officials and the government.”

So now we have proof that the FBI (along with US intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security) have been acting through “private” social media companies to manipulate what Americans are allowed to say when they communicate with each other.

Is there anything more un-American than that? Personally, I find it sickening.

We do not need the FBI and CIA and other federal agencies viewing us as the enemy and attacking our Constitution. End the Fed…and End the Federal Bureau of Investigation!
