Murderers. Very sad story.
Matt Perna went inside the capital amidst of a giant crowd. He had no weapons. He entered through an open door in the middle of a large crowd on 2:20 and he left at 2:58. He stayed within the velvet ropes. He touched nothing. He broke nothing. He hurt no one. He took nothing. He was informed by a friend there was a wanted picture of him on an FBI website. He CALLED his local FBI office and turned himself in. He was initially charged with two misdemeanors (1) knowingly entering a restrictive ground or building (2) disorderly conduct on capital grounds. This was his first encounter with the law. He was arrested. Facebook and Instagram disabled his accounts, have they disabled Diddy’s yet? The media ran hit piece after hit piece. He was smeared, bullied and defamed every single day. On January 22, 2021, he was charged with an additional felony which was obstruction of an official proceeding. A change the DOJ knew they couldn’t prove. A statute that didn’t apply. This was ultimately thrown out by the Supreme Court. His girlfriend left him. After that Matt was depressed and anxious. The DOJ cancelled hearings, they kept delaying and searching for more evidence. Month after the month the prosecution continued to stall, they continued to say they were looking for more evidence and Judge Bates allowed it. The DOJ came back and offered Matt Perna 6-12 months and he entered into a guilty plea. Judge Bates set the sentencing hearing out two more months. As time continued Matt got more and more depressed and anxious and afraid. Right before the 7 year anniversary of his mother’s death, his lawyer called and said they are adding a terrorism enhancement which would make his sentence end up being 41-72 months. Three days later he hung himself. Judge Bates presided over two decades of Islamic terrorism cases. During that time he has a track record of redefining metadata to permit the government to continue to use the Internet as a dragnet. He authorized the use of back door searches under FISA. He systematically rejected any due process for anyone with a terrorist enhancement charge. This judge allowed the prosecution to terrorize Matt Perna. He allowed them to delay discovery, cancel status hearings, and make sure this case hung over this poor man’s head until it ultimately drove him to hang himself. People should read the story and understand that until we root out the corruption that is going on within the government, you could be next. No one is safe from tyranny. They were going to give a man who went to the capital for 20 minutes and hurt nobody and took nothing that has never had a criminal record four years in prison. Actions have consequences and we are watching a continuation of the egregious and despicable abuse of power that we have seen since the beginning of the lawfare against the political rivals of the regime, it all started with J6. If these judges get away with what they did to J6 defendants it will never stop. After all, these are the same judges that are stripping the executive branch of its power at the moment.

@neli_rowland @MaryAnnAhernNBC I think Rauner tried to bust the unions and that was his downfall. No way that was gonna happen in IL under Madigan and the patronage army. I think he was blocked by Madigan no matter what he tried.

What is happening?
CONGRESS FUNNELED $516 BILLION INTO EXPIRED PROGRAMS WITH ZERO OVERSIGHT IN 2024 The CBO just revealed that Congress spent $516 billion in 2024 on programs with expired authorizations, some dating back over 40 years. Despite rules against funding unauthorized programs, lawmakers ignored them—letting billions flow without updated approvals or oversight. Even worse, 251 more authorizations are set to expire this year, including $892 billion in defense spending, yet Congress keeps writing blank checks. This isn’t governance—it’s corruption. Congress is recklessly burning taxpayer money on programs they haven’t even bothered to approve.

Not the first time I have heard about BRIDGE.
@elonmusk hiya Elon, I tried tagging you in a post about connections in relation to this Reuters funding & an organization named BRIDGE that is spearheading transformation of DEI in the private sector from "a moral imperative to an operationalized part of business"

It's all about the process, never about the end result.
Absolutely infuriating Palisades recovery story: My friend's mom's house burned down. His insurer asks for a copy of the blueprints, to process the claim. The blueprints were in the house and they burned --but there's a copy on file with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. LADBS requires a release letter from the architect to give him his blueprints, which my friend provides. Whole process takes a week. He goes to DBS to get his blueprints --but they won't give them to him. Why? Because the architect signed the request paperwork on the wrong part of the page. LADBS says my friend needs to start the whole process over. My friend objects. He says, "The instructions just said the architect needed to sign the page, and he did that." The LADBS clerk says, "But he signed over the seal. He's supposed to sign next to the seal." My friend goes, "So? He signed it." The LADBS clerk says, "But he signed the wrong part of the page." My friend pleads, "you know my mom's house burned down, and every day this gets delayed is another day she can't get her claim processed." The LADBS clerk responds, "So what?"

Excellent comments.
I had a real insight into how similar we actually are to the USSR when I visited Korea. I went to the DMZ and had an opportunity to do a Q&A with a North Korean defector. It was very interesting but one question I asked really stood out among the rest. I asked "Do the people believe the propaganda, or do they simply go along with it to avoid reprisal?" She explained that there were true believers, and that these were mostly the Elite of North Korean society. Imagine high ranking party officials living in Pyongyang. These people fully embraced the propaganda no matter how ridiculous because they had a vested interest in the maintenance of the regime. It was therefore in their interest to believe the lies, so they did. The rest play along to avoid harm coming to them and their families. But then I noticed that this was no different than here. Look at the below chart. Republic trust in legacy media is at 11%. Independents at 29%. Incredibly low numbers that basically signal close to total non-belief. But Democrats are still at 58%. A slim majority, but a majority. With legacy media being the mouth piece of the elite establishment, and the Democrats being the party of the elite in the Managerial Class, they remain the only ones who believe the party propaganda. Because it is in their interest to do so, as they have a vested interest in the continued success of the regime. Once I had put that together I could never unsee it. Our system is just as fake and gay as the Soviets. And we are living through our fall of the Berlin Wall moment where as the regime begins to fail we can simply stop pretending to believe the regime's lies.
