Pregnant Single Mother Raided By FBI, Detained For a Week After Going Through an Open Door at the US Capitol — Now Faces Over 30 Years in Prison

Konold still did not realize it was a protest when she followed the crowd of fellow Trump supporters to the Capitol. The door to the building was open and police seemed to be allowing people inside, so she went. She was kind and friendly to police and left quickly when she was told that people were not supposed to be there.


When the arrests of Capitol rioters started she assumed that she was okay. After all, she did no harm. She thought that the people who were being arrested were the ones who were violent or engaging in vandalism — not the peaceful people like her.


A month after the protest, she was yanked from her bed at gunpoint by the FBI. Her entire street was blocked off and crowded with unmarked vehicles. Her small mobile home was raided and a two page long list of her belongings was seized.

Konold has been charged with conspiracy, civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Things are moving quickly now. They have effectively shut down all the opposition, and people have reason to be afraid of voting against them. I'm afraid we have the modern Sturmabteilung in operation as the FBI.

Unless this is bullshit. Please tell me it is, fulcrum.

The second amendment is being challenged because of the language including the term “free-state”. The argument on the right is , “obviously we are not a free state” and on the left as “obviously we are not a free state”.

Looks like "beyond a reasonable doubt" is getting harder to reach.

As much as I utterly fucking despise the BLM movement with every ounce of my soul, I have to disagree with you on this one Rip... That was out & out murder and that cop was a horrible bastard for doing that.

I thought so too, Pete. But then the facts started leaking out.

Yep and facts don’t matter to those who consume corporate/state media.

(The following is in general and not directed at you at all)

For example, let’s ponder these:

FDA pauses the J&J vaccine. Why? Let’s talk about sinus vein thrombosis and rampant platelet activation. Let’s discuss how off the charts rare that is for an otherwise healthy person. Let’s also talk about how folks being vaccinated now are all part of a massive clinical trail and it’s not unusual at all to pause a trial when an extreme anomaly pops up.

Another: a 13 year old kid was shot and killed by police in Shitcago. 13 years old! Why? Maybe he had a gun?

A guy in MN was MURDERED because of an air freshener. Does it seem like there’s more to the story? An air freshener, really?

Fortunately most folks on this thread know to not take reports at face value and look deeper. But it’s astounding how narratives proliferate today.

I thought so too, Pete. But then the facts started leaking out.

And this; I believe, is the fundamental difference between men like you, me and most on this forum and bureaucrats like Fauci, the CDC, and most politicians. We have shame and regret for mistakes and will admit it and reflect upon it. Those fucks double down and would sooner watch thousands die and even more suffer than admit they were wrong.

No, the blame doesn’t lie with professors, who you allege are “indoctrinating” students. That is too convenient. (And if you haven’t been keeping up, “indoctrination” is not a scare word around these parts.)

The problem is that people have become insects - so engrossed with their minor positions in life, that they cannot verify any part of their inputs, nor can they recognize their effect on society via unintended consequences. This is why we have ER docs who hastily shove their COVID-19 back into susceptible populations, police who “just follow orders”, PhD computer scientists who are stridently confident about their analyses conducted on random interweb CSVs, and so many busy professionals who never read beyond the title and abstract, but aren’t too busy to have an opinion.

Are your poor kids being “indoctrinated” by their professors? Good. The ability to learn and act in the presence of noise and manipulation is now an invaluable skill.

I disagree. Many of these professors are so inept at their job that they literally just preach about leftist politics for half of the class and hand out free grades for easily cheating and plagiarizing online tests and papers. There are years of brainwashing occurring — ideas that become ingrained the minds of young, impressionable people and many of them went out and voted for fucking socialism because the facilitators of their higher education told them to do so.

College, for many young people, is learning how to think like a liberal. It’s not an easy process to reverse when the network that you build in school is filled with leftists.

I’m not disagreeing with your second paragraph, but don’t be fooled into thinking that the education system isn’t part of the problem. College, for many, is mind control.
