Houston Police Chief Says He'll Prosecute People For False Statements About COVID-19 Response; Won't Debate 1st Amendment
from the that-constitution-thing-is-kinda-important dept
We already went over this with Newark, NJ, but now Houston's top law enforcement officer is falsely claiming he can and will prosecute people for making false statements about Houston's COVID-19 response. It started with rumors on social media that the city was going to go into lockdown -- which is not a crazy rumor given that plenty of other places in the country (and the world) have more or less done this exact thing already (including the entire state of California). But Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner tweeted that this was false information and he was asking law enforcement to investigate:
That says:
There is a video on social media of a person saying she was in a meeting with government officials confirming that there will be a city lockdown this weekend or Monday. All of this is false. I am asking HPD and Harris County DAs Office to investigate for possible prosecution.
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo then responded to the mayor on Twitter, saying that the police "have launched an investigation" and something about "nation actors intentionally spreading misinformation."
Now, it should be noted that we've written about Art Acevedo a few times now, including his ridiculously bad response to his officers completely botched a no knock raid that killed two innocent people. Acevedo, who came to Texas (first to Austin, then to Houston) promising "reform" and cleaning up police departments hasn't always done such a great job of that -- but you'd at least expect him to know how the 1st Amendment works.
But, no, that's too much apparently. Also, when confronted on this... he trotted out the very wrong "fire in a crowded theater" line:
As a reminder, that line is not good law, and is the excuse most commonly used by bumbling idiots to defend unconstitutional censorship.
Even once a bunch of experts in this space piled on to point out to Acevedo he was wrong, he kept it up, with a ridiculous press conference in which he said that he had no time to debate 1st Amendment lawyers:
We have opened a multi-jurisdictional investigation. I had a 1st Amendment lawyer arguing with me on Twitter, and the mayor on his tweet. We're not gonna debate the law. I'll just say that the US Attorney's Office is now involved in this investigation. Our federal partners are now involved in this investigation and we will prosecute anyone to the fullest extent of the law. I've been in touch with the DA's office. I've been in touch with our federal partners. And the bottom line is that we have investigations ongoing.
Yeah, except (1) you can't prosecute people for mere rumors on social media, and (2) saying that you are going to prosecute false information is incredibly dangerous because it stops people from sharing valuable and useful information if they're afraid that it might not be fully verified. We saw this in China, where police went after the doctor who was trying to raise the alarm about COVID-19 and it silenced him and probably slowed worldwide (and local) attention to the risks of COVID-19.
Even more ridiculous, right before saying that he was going to prosecute people for false statements, Acevedo said (and I kid you not) that you shouldn't listen to anyone on social media, but you should listen to the President -- the very same President who has been a veritable fire hose of misinformation regarding COVID-19. Meanwhile, much of the good and useful information has been spreading by experts on social media, just as Acevedo is saying not to listen to any of it.
As it relates to the individuals who continue to spread false information: you should be ONLY listening to your elected officials, or to your appointed officials, for information on what is happening or is about to happen. If there's a change, only believe it when you hear it from the Mayor, the judge, the Governor, the President or the people that they appoint for these type of responses.
Now, sure, you should listen to officials to get specifics on the official response, but mentioning the President at a time when he's spewing so much disinformation and then immediately insisting that disinformation is criminal, is just crazy. Oh, and then he also insists that the misinformation is coming from foreign sources:
Secondly, the majority of this information, a lot of, it's not just coming from individuals, but from nation states. I'm gonna repeat: nation states, that are purposefully putting out information that try to cause pandemonium. That try to get a reaction from the public.
Citation needed, chief. Yes, I'm sure that some information on social media is being put out by nation state trolls trying to wreak havoc. But "the majority" of it? Come on. Also, again, importantly, there's been a ton of incredibly useful information and details on social media talking about how to best respond to this, from how to "flatten the curve," how to stay safe, how to wash your hands, how to practice social distancing, even to the point of how to help make medical equipment to help protect medical professionals. Telling everyone not to listen to any of it and that you'll prosecute people for posting that info is downright dangerous by itself.
I don't expect everyone to understand the ins-and-outs of the 1st Amendment, but a police chief of a major city, certainly should.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re:
"He's probably been a bully his whole life."
Well, in a somewhat aware society you'd expect those who govern police to realize that the concept of great power over their fellow man and a uniform tends to attract a certain type of person and take steps to implement proper supervision. Even in such societies this sometimes fails.
In the US, it seems to be assumed that putting on the uniform magically infuses the wearer with morals so there's no actual need for effective supervision anymore.
The result of which is such glorious examples of "uprightness, honesty, and toughness" as Bill Barr and Acevedo.
Honestly, the US citizenry as a whole needs to start realizing that anyone operating according to fiat iustitia ruat caelum is NOT your friend or savior and that Draco has a shit rep for a reason.

Every even halfway liberal constitution or charter around the world explicitly states that the rights described exist in order to restrain law enforcement in order to guarantee LEO's remain enforcers of justice rather than just thugs in uniform.
In civilized societies these restrictions exist to protect law enforcers as much as it does the citizenry. In the US that balance either never existed or has been irretrievably broken. A uniform doesn't magically infuse a person with morals. That appears hard for many people to realize.

Re:
Which is why I've been saying for years that we're going after dirty cops, prosecutors and even judges who violate rights in the wrong legal system.
In civil court, they use other people's money for their defense and not a penny of their own. That's if you can get a court to even hear the case, since the doctrine of immunity says they don't have to accept the lawsuit if no court has ever ruled that such things are illegal, no matter how many laws there are that say so. Even if they lose the lawsuit, the payout to the plaintiffs comes from the taxpayers not the people who broke the law.
But any rights violation you can sue an official for in federal civil court and win, is also a federal criminal court offense. One that carries sentences of decades in prison, for most offenses.
Texas in particular is fertile ground for citizens to arrest rights-violating officials, since color of law rights violations while in possession of a firearm or with two or more people working together to violate rights are felonies, and the same Texas statute that authorizes a cop to arrest someone without a warrant also authorizes ANY citizen to make an arrest under the same circumstances.
Lastly, the US Supreme Court has ruled that federal citizen's arrests are lawful in any state that authorizes state citizen's arrests. For a felony, that's every state except North Carolina.

Despite Techdirts own acknowledgement of how the Court has called Twitter a "public forum, much like ye olden tymes town sqware," here, in TDs public-facing, world-wide available forum,

Fire in a crowded theater
There seems to be a consensus that some speech is dangerous and might need to be regulated but none regarding the actual parameters on what constitutes dangerous speech.
A recent case in point is the Arizona man who perished from drinking chloroquine phosphate after Trump👑 advocated the antimalarial chloroquine as a game changer that could be used to treat COVID-19. (It doesn't help.)
But we've talked also about radicalizing speech and hate speech, which seem to drive some people to extremism and violence. The assassination of Dr. Tiller by Scott Roeder was driven by viewing over thirty Bill O'Reilly segments on Tiller the Baby Killer including bunches of lies.
We seem to still be divided as to whether or not adult human beings have personal responsibility to exercise due vigilance regarding what is truth and what is actionable, or if enough of us are susceptible that certain kinds of speech must be limited.
We've established there are limits to personal responsibility: Enough people cannot be trusted around casinos that they are prohibited with few exceptions, and that microtransactions in games (now a multi-billion-dollar industry) need to be regulated since people cannot be trusted around them either. (We've yet to pass actual laws, but there are dialogues and legal battles.)
So where's the line? So far, hate speech and fake news are what other people say, and our peerless leader and FOX News seem exempt, even when they're totally saying someone should go kill that guy.

WHy IS that?)and others who-while they cannot be conformed to your binaries, stand for free speech, free assembly, and even the idea that commercial enterprises like Twitter, and even Techdirts comment forum are the modern town square; and other rights both enumerated and not.
So, yeah, there's that.
You just parrot stuff you read here, ad some inept snark, and sing along with the newly emerged status quo of the faux-left-centrist choir, which is notoriously pro-police unions, constantly singing "Citation!

Re: Re:
"Which is why I've been saying for years that we're going after dirty cops, prosecutors and even judges who violate rights in the wrong legal system."
Correct. a LEO is tasked to wield the violence monopoly of government in order to uphold law. A breach of that trust must be considered a criminal offense, not a civil one. But the prosecutor who must raise the case is inherently beholden to the ones he must prosecute, and so the accountability chain breaks down.
If a private corporation had similar chains of accountability the next audit would fail them.
"In civil court, they use other people's money for their defense and not a penny of their own."
And yet, in all too many cases tort law is shoehorned into service because it's the only instrument left for a citizen to gain relief from a wrong done by a LEO. I somehow wonder how many bad cops see fit to kill rather than merely abuse simply because that often guarantees they won't face the hassle of a suit.
"But any rights violation you can sue an official for in federal civil court and win, is also a federal criminal court offense. One that carries sentences of decades in prison, for most offenses."
Does this actually pass the practical test? I mean, in theory that might be good, but in practice I can only see a reality where the city ends up paying for an officer's infringements while the officer says that one line - "I feared for my life" - and walks without a single word of censure.
"...the same Texas statute that authorizes a cop to arrest someone without a warrant also authorizes ANY citizen to make an arrest under the same circumstances."
Sounds good. So when a texas citizen tries to arrest a LEO and the whole squad of LEO's then insist the corpse of said citizen is the result of him pulling a gun on them, placing them in fear of their lives, what happens, if anything?
No, they key to righting the sinking ship of US "law" enforcement comes in two parts; separate the DA's from their reliance of police goodwill. And ensure that officers who commit wrong end up with black marks on their records which prevent them from just getting a new job in law enforcement.
And that's going to be tough to implement because right now if there's ONE bad officer in any given precinct, every last officer in that precinct is to some degree culpable as well.

Because all ROGS has is a decidedly partisan page authored by people with good motive to use any lever against Israel, merited or not, and a loose assumption that Acevedo, being a Person In Authority must be an attack dog for the Global Jewish Conspiracy.
Saner and more rational minds would just say that the preponderance of the evidence suggests that Acevedo, much like Barr, is an all too human hard-on control freak eager to score a few political points with the incumbent administration in order to further his career and relieve himself of any accusation that he was "not doing anything" in a time of crisis.
The likely assumption - Acevedo has no agenda beyond covering his own ass while either being too inept to realize the ramifications of his actions or being aware and not really giving a shit because politics.

Re: Don't believe his social media
"So if we shouldn't believe anything on social media, why should we believe his Twitter feed or Facebook page? Why should we even believe that statement?"
It does beg the question whether Acevedo knows what Social Media is.
It's pretty obvious that he's just pounding as big a drum as he can muster while shouting "I'm on the case. Trust me! All Is Well!!".
The more learned may correct me on this, but last I checked the chief of police can't prosecute a damn thing. What he can do amounts to dropping a file on the DA's desk. A DA who may find himself pretty embarrassed about the unconstitutional promises the chief of police is issuing on his behalf.

Re: Fire in a crowded theater
" recent case in point is the Arizona man who perished from drinking chloroquine phosphate after Trump👑 advocated the antimalarial chloroquine as a game changer that could be used to treat COVID-19. (It doesn't help.)"
Actually there are some indications that Chloroquine may help, as verified by multiple research institutes. The issue being that chloroquine in itself brings hefty side effects to the table. It's not a harmless drug, especially not in the quantities estimated to be required.
Self-medicating with a substance known to cause cardiac arrytmia, breathing difficulties and convulsions is risky at the best of times. Unless you are in a hospital, surrounded by doctors who know what they're doing, however, this is likely to be a "cure" as deadly as the disease.

Look, I could do a typical breakdown of your post that I’m known around here for doing, but I’m busy with more important things (e.g., “enjoying” free PornHub Premium). So I’ll whittle this down to a handful of points:
Criticism of speech is not suppression of speech, and neither is people flagging your speech (i.e., showing you the door). You’re free to post your speech anywhere else that will have you.
Twitter may be a “public forum” in a colloquial sense of the term. But Twitter is not an actual public form in that it is owned by the general public or the government. No one can force it to host any kind of speech.
When you make a claim of fact, you’re the one who must provide a citation for that claim. Responsibility for backing up a claim lies with the person who made it.
I’ll gladly debate something with you when you provide a point worth debating instead of “ThE eViL jEwS aRe StIfLiNg My SpEeCh!”-level conspiracy theory bullshit. My religious beliefs (agnostic atheism, BTW) have nothing to do with that.
Your version of “civility” is “nobody calls me on my bullshit”. You know what happens when someone rightfully calls me on my bullshit, regardless of whether they’re civil? I say “fair point” and try to learn from my mistake.

Re: Not my argument, ever
Stone, you keep trying to thrust that limp argument at me, when I never made that argument here at TD, ever.
Somewhere in your binary Ich Du training, you have me confused with some metaphorical Bubba from the Boondocks who can't figure out whether TD, Twitter, or the Presidents account is "protected speech" covered by the first amendment
I never said it was, EVER, but you are welcome to try to prove your evidence free assertion made over a span of nearly a year that I have tried to make that argument(which I never have, because my training as a journalist was filled with a couple years of first amendment law, accompanied by real world training in how empty free speech rhetoric is ).
So lets recap, so you get it right next time (not that I expect you will, because your form of disingenuous trolling via mis-statement of my arguments is not designed for that effect):
My argument:
TD is a heavily speech policed forum
TDs forum "community" is a misnomer, because by design, it attracts Dod/JTRIG/Hasbara/ADL/NGO/FOP/ Integrity Institute type intel trolls and others with a clear and indisputable speech crushing and derailing agenda
that you and other people like you are including in your hypothetical definition of a "community" bots, AI derailers, DoD trolls, FOP et alphabet professional PsyOps practitioners, Israeli hasbara and other paid shills who are not i fact residents of any "community" that you can identify; and other forms of internet trolling done from behind the cover of NGOs, etc.
TDs flag button is ill equipped to weed out the difference between bots and trolls from the above mentioned speech police, versus differentiating between genuine "community" members (unless of course you-cum-TDs King For A Day includes such NGOs and other paid troll armies and fake personas in your distorted version of a "community"to flag speech here)
I mean, that's the basic argument.
I could eleborate further, but you repeatedly resort to the same mis-characterizations and outright lies about my arguments, spread out over every thread, as if you are working the JTRIG or Intel community think tank playbook.
So, no, there is no law, statute, or common law ruling that says anyone has to host my speech, anywhere. And, I never claimed there was
What I did claim, is that TD willingly plays host to dubiously motivated spergs, bots, trolls, NGO scum, think tank affilliated speech crushers, and other derailers and troll farm oriented types; and that said in-house trolls are very well hidden here, disguised as ACs, and depending upon people LIKE YOU to assist them.
So, thats why, a few threads ago, I said that you would make an ideal candidate for Nazi officers school, or any other zionist backed fascist group that will have you. Speech policing is a relic of the fascist religionist era, and you are participating in that.

Re: Re: Re: not exactly, Claus Drusaa
Actual atheists have been taking note that people like you and your faux-scepticism is really just cover for deeply held religious confusions based in speech prohibitions aka "lashon hara" that derive from the pre-scientific era.
And, your confused types are very effective at derailing atheism/secularism/etc-ism precisely because you have co-opted rational discourse and sceptical inquiry with chronis dis-engagement from actual discourse, having replaced it with epic levels of Prove it or the puppy gets it! which is a classic disinformation tactic.
re: pushing a faith-based agenda of global conspiracies
Evidence or GTFO. Name one conspiracy that I have espoused, without evidence of actual conspiracy, I dare you.
And aren't building your cause by outright lying about observable reality
Well, you there, an overseas troll who does not live in the USA of which I write, certainly has little to say about the reality I observe there.
I have many causes, and I have changed the dialectic in many important ways, not least of which is outing intel trolls and spooks and people like you who are affilliated with private detectives and private contractors for what you are.
And, you are patently wrong on both points, and a proven liar to boot.
Observable reality says that you are a proven liar, as my entire body of writing attests that I am no religionist, and never was. You knew this when you lied there, and you know this the next time you lie again.
And now, you react to my accusation leveled at you, personally several threads ago, that your pseudo-rationalism is a front for yourself and other agnostics and deists, faux-profressives, and other malicious or confused fucks who cannot get rid of religion in their discourse entirelyas it is the underlying theme of everything you write.
But at least the onlookers now know that you are an actual liar. I am well in the record as a reaction formation against organized religion, and its hand up the ass of people like you, and your pet religionists.
I am about as Nietzsche as it gets around here, whereas you are a known derailing troll, and a proven liar.
AS for your now-latent attempt to counter my accusation that you are a useful idiot working on behalf of NGOs, and other known derailers, well, I get letters....
And believe me, some of my new readers/onlookers who peek in here have noted with glee that you are a known derailer, the bottom of the barrel of TDs in-house trolls, who have the act down well, but fall just short of actual rationalism.
Its easy to be chronically sceptical when you have never put forth anything meaningful, or original. You have that going for you, up there in your faux-ivory monastery.

Re: Re: its not just a "socialist" rule book these TD
OK, I will do it for you, considering as how you are so busy and all (spending your days so prolifically commenting here that TD awarded you the Golden Esther Award for Excessive Speech)
You:
Criticism of speech is not suppression of speech, and neither is people flagging your speech (i.e., showing you the door). You’re free to post your speech anywhere else that will have you
Me: I never once claimed any of the above. I merely, and consistently have demonstrated the speech suppression mechanism of this forum (which was my stated goal), and yours and others roles as gate keepers, aka useful idiots; and coincidentally encountered the fact tat those who write the best about free speech, are actually part of why speech is not freebut in fact is a privileged American narrative that was usurped in the 1960's going forwards
You:
Twitter may be a “public forum” in a colloquial sense of the term. But Twitter is not an actual public form in that it is owned by the general public or the government. No one can force it to host any kind of speech
Me: I never claimed Twitter was anything close to anything other than a corporate/private speech filtering mechanism, and that:
You:
When you make a claim of fact, you’re the one who must provide a citation for that claim. Responsibility for backing up a claim lies with the person who made it
Me: You and others here have never argued against any fact I have ever presented, ever, because that requires engagement with the facts at hand via the links provided, which you have never done. You and others are actually merely derailers and distractors, protecting your pet causes, and your non-rational allegiance to religious prohibitions on speech, aka lashon hara (in your case "deist" atheist-agnostic perspective, honestly, what the hell is that if not confusion?).
You:
*I’ll gladly debate something with you when you provide a point worth debating instead of “ThE eViL jEwS aRe StIfLiNg My SpEeCh!”-level conspiracy theory bullshit. My religious beliefs (agnostic atheism, BTW) have nothing to do with that.
Me: Again, I never said any of that, and considering that I wrote the first story in the US, about the first post 911 manufactured Somali terrorist, you are beyond disingenuous.
I cited known and specific efforts of the ADL (the Redirect method and Moonshot CVE, used by a racist group to literally subvert the thought processes of targeted audiences)and other US-FVEYs-Israeli intelligence affilliated shitbags who derail American law and culture. I am well aware of the many other religionists and shitbags that are involved in these actions too( but you have never seemed to acknowledge that-why, exactly? Yeah-thought so...).
I suspect that somehow, you derive profit by always dragging the anti-Jewish trope into EVERY dissent. Why is that?
For the record, ROGS is not anti-Jewish, nor do Jews call me such, ever. But I am also not pro-semitic
As I stated, you are likely gaining culural capital and cache from such absurdity ( and really, your purported atheist agnosticism is incompatible with rationalism,and in fact agnosticism only indicates confusion, or fear of the unknown
So, to be clear, you are essentially against my speech, because I put Jews (and the Jews among my own relations) on a level playing field: I consider Jews merely as human beings, no different, no better, and no worse than myself in any regards, and as myself, merely part of human kind.
I consider organizations that claim to speak for all de Joos as involved in criminal activity, because that's what those highly vocal organizations(for which you are a very useful puppet) are descended from, which is historical fact.
SO, most of your commentary runs this way, smearing me with antisemitic tropes, almost as if you work directly for Meyer Lansky and his klan, or the Bronfmans, who are heavily invested in pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian anti-America stances, and who historically have reduced discourse to the exact binary you are arguing.
You:
Your version of “civility” is “nobody calls me on my bullshit”. You know what happens when someone rightfully calls me on my bullshit, regardless of whether they’re civil? I say “fair point” and try to learn from my mistake
Me: Since when is my bullshit some kind of evidentiary standard?
I mean, for a rationalist/deist/agnostic/etc, you seem to once again confuse standards of evidence, which you have done on many occasions.
You have never once clearly engaged nor argued, nor debated any point I ever made. And I will be glad to debate you on any front, on any topic, ever. But you yourself (enabled by TDs in-house gag of trolls) do not engage in debate of any kind, and certainly the NGO/intel troll farm/political think tank friendly flag button inhibits useful debate of any and every kind.
Remember: I have been raising awareness of organized gang stalking and the groups that do it, or are invested in the private contractors that do it, for nearly ten years here and elsewhere (many elsewhere's, actually) and that dialectic has changed massively.
Those groups range from Mormons to Baptists, to Catholics, to Jews, and its called "third party punishment" and goes on all over the world, where there is organized religion. You have never taken me to task for citing police union led mobs, Baptist mobs, or the Cathlioctocon, but you take umbrage that I include Jews on a level playing field; or that I not only include Jews(and invite their dissent too!), but nearly indict Jewish NGOs ad the ADL specifically in training cops in Israel, and sending them back here as zionists who shoot people in the back, and run hidden gangs in (militarized) policing.
As such, I suspect that you are either gaining cultural capital, actual capital, or are deluded, or disingenuous, which is why I have called you a police apologist in the past.
You:
Corollary to the last point: Your opinions deserve no respect for the fact you have them, and you deserve no respect in a discussion for the fact that you’re a part of it. You would likely refuse to kiss my ass only because I’m part of this comment thread; I see no reason to kiss yours for the same reason
Me: Um, weird. And interesting in the Freudian/evolutionary sense that you show your ass at this point. Greater and lesser apes do this for several reasons, and one of them is submission.
I won't try to prove your motive here, but yeah, I don't kiss no asses, unless its in my porn stash, labelled as "WOW! Dat ASS!"
Other times, in the country I live in, where porn is nearly un-necessary due to the constant supply of ACTUAL and REAL asses to kiss ( for free, for love, or for a small price), I do indeed kiss me some real asses, and I thoroughly enjoy every dirty bit of that well established and necessary rite of human interaction.
On that note, sure, sometimes I am wrong, and have said so at those times. Whoop dee doo daa all day. But bullshit is NOT a form of evidence in a debate about facts and never was. So which is it? You are arguing factually, or from the standpoint of bullshittery? Cant have it both ways right? .
But I am not wrong in general thrust of what I write or claim, and you and the TD troll brigade have never engaged with that in any substantive way, because you are a gate keeper; a foil against actual rational discourse; and a useful idiot and derailer by belief in the speech prohibition.

Time for another lightning round.
By referring to your speech as “suppressed” when it isn’t, you’re conflating criticism and people flagging your speech with censorship — and subtly implying that you believe you have the right to have your speech displayed without impediment and shielded from criticism.
You have a disturbing obsession with rape.
We haven’t argued with any facts you’ve presented because you’ve rarely, if ever, presented any facts.
Agnostic atheism is a belief system in which one doesn’t believe in God, but cannot say “God does not exist” because we have no proof as to whether God exists.
“I wrote the first story in the US, about the first post 911 manufactured Somali terrorist” — Assuming this isn’t bullshit: Congratulations on giving away particularly personal identifying information without being asked!
I’m against your speech because it’s clearly anti-Semitic, evidenced by how you used “Joos” in a clearly derogatory fashion and how you keep whining about the ADL.
I would debate a point you make if you would make a point worth debating. At best, your lenghty screeds come off as the unhinged ramblings of a conspiracy-theory-loving sociopath who is planning on shooting up a synagogue.

"It also follows the pattern of his citations to sources (on the rare occasions that he actually makes any) that do not in any fashion back up his claims. But he seems convinced that they do."
It's the point which makes any sufficiently advanced conspiracy theory akin to religion. ROGS continually conflates patterns of his own construction with empirical observable evidence. To him, any statement which fits his predesigned narrative IS fact.
And of course that's where he gets frustrated when he presents a wordwall's worth of charts and tables demonstrating the exact axial spin of Russel's Teapot only to be met with the question "Uh, first of all, please show us proof that hypothetical teapot exists".
Almost exactly like a medieval priest who's spent years figuring out the length and density of God's beard would react on meeting an atheist who insists he first show proof that God exists.
There surely are conspiracies around - watergate, for instance, a few of the revelations in the wikileaks papers, and the - by now acknowledged - fact that the main cause of the US blunder in 9/11 was that the saudis planning the whole mess were politically untouchable. Al-Quaeda being the result of the US training muslim extremists in guerilla warfare to use against the soviets in afghanistan? Etc.
But the common denominator of every conspiracy, ever is that secrecy is impossible whenever more than half a dozen people get involved. It always leaks, sooner or later. Because people are human. And if it isn't leaked by a Drake or Snowden it'll be leaked by geopolitic adversaries.
And that's not counting all the "Well, D'oh" types of open fact being pushed as conspiracy.
The use of dangerous medication as first response in the US as result of both pressure from the AMA and the obsession among americans to not trust the doctor until he prescribes the heftiest and most intimidating medication in the pharmacy. Or, in some cases, the way the US obesity problem has doctors in general prescribing high-risk heart medication in unbelievable amounts simply because they routinely receive obese teenagers and young adults teetering on the verge of cardiac arrest as a result of massive long-running sugar intake.
But to the conspiracy theorist who has his pattern it's just another link in the puzzle of the Hidden Masters. It's like watching a sephardi kabbala mystic who "knows" God has put messages everywhere desperately using numerology to decipher the hidden messages in everyday life...

Oh, never mind: your true colors have flown the ever lovin' coop. But only after wanking it at your computer there, lol.
So, when I submit my anonymous tip about how
some rando on the internet named Stephen T. Stone mentioned shooting up a synagogue, should I point them to these conversations for context, or just let them kick down your door?
(gee, I hope the speech police don't monitor, trace, and shoot this postup in transit)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: not exactly, Claus Drusaa
We never actually agreed on that. What I said was:
"Not so long ago I would have said [it's schizophrenia]. Now it doesn't seem entirely far-fetched. Not that I would take that story at face value, but it doesn't sound totally impossible anymore."
So, 1) it is possible (not likely, but possible) any particular incident is real and not imagined 2) I would not take that story, or any other about gang stalking, at face value and 3) I have looked into it more since then, and mental illness seems to be overwhelmingly the most likely explanation.
There were a few factors, but no that was not one of them.
You're quite welcome.

Re:
Sorry, sperg, but I have outlived many, many real, actual bullets.
I don't need some corn-fed pig to do what I can do myself. And obviously, your ASPERGERS persona does not include actual nuance. I mean, if any of the purported "suicide by cop" people are to stupid to Google Mexico and pentobarbitol, well, maybe somethings wrong with their PERSONAL internet choices.
But I don't need, nor do I fear pig bullets. Pigs, you see, aren't smart enough to record themselves properly on body cams, as we saw in the Chicago case (but you know nothing about that case, right, sperg for a day?).
SO, you on the other hand probably should experience just one (yeah, they hurt) bullet. Who cares where it comes from? Bullets don't have brains-they cannot hit you if you say the magic words "I suck ADL dicks in the Land of the Freeeeee....splot!" it was brought to you by the Bronfmans, etal in the first place, bro.
So, when the DHS/FBI internet speech police and troll squad(they are one and the same) shows up at your door (soon) because you mentioned shooting up a synagogue (yes, YOU DID THAT Stephen T. Stone), and some anonymous cowardly asshole aka "anonymous tipster" aka ADL/NGO affilliated speech troll reported you to FBI death squads and manufactured terror plotters who all train in Israel), please just cower,try not to shit or piss your pants (first timers frequently do one or both) and claim that you love Jews first and foremost, especially if the body cam is rolling (we never know do we?) and say God Bluss Amurrica, and Zion!!!!, and that you will do anything to protect Jesuses right to withhold his Jewish/bastard culture origins, and that you LOVE the hate lobbyists with all of your goyish ability.
Its the right thing to do, according to your mentors and masters.
Otherwise, stop now,while you are kind of ahead, because your comment about
Stephen T. Stone North Carolina, writing at Techdirt.com, is talking about shooting up a synagogue
could get you in trouble. Lashon Hara, bad wordz, freezepeach! the death of free speech, and all that, because of WHAT YOU SAID there.

the militarization of police, Ich/Du, Art Acevedo, and you.
Well, seems a few folks here like the fact that militarized police forces, and US police chiefs are training in Israel, and Art Acevedo trained there too.
Heres the evidence, Claus:
https://palestineishere.org/places/police/page/2/
Bro, they aren't currently training at the Vatican, or The Queens frozen bedroom, that I know of, and if they are, please point me to that evidence.
And what are you on about here?
You and the other Squad 13 hasbarats here surely like to hide evidence of Art Acevedo training in Israel. That's sure a pattern.
And that pattern has repeated for well over a span of YEARS, every time TD publishes an article about "militarized police"and then, I comment, and then, you trolls hide my comment about the ADL and its spawn in JINSA miltarizing US police.
I mean, how do you define empirical evidence anyways? Seems you might be working from the wrong dictionary.
Listen Claus, I have you on record in several threads now, throwing anti-Asian stereotypes around, claiming there's a global conspiracy for Fu Manchu and Charlie Chan to take over the world, and force us to eat dog chop suey, and give us pig-viruses, so if you want to speculate about racism, or racial motives in my post, lets look at a few of yours, howbout.
But for the record,
ROGS won't be dragged into the no-win binary (bi-polar) anti-semiticism bingo game, which was invented by a well known gangster, Meyer Lansky and his mafia associates in the JDL/ADL spectrum of NGOs.The odds of winning are worse than a Vegas craps table at Bugsies Pink Lady.
Not being pro-semitic is not the same as what you are indicating, and I am certain many Jews would be offended at what a bumbling pro-semitic you are.
That said, The Pilgrims Society, Opus Dei, Swedish intelligence, the so-called "Liberal CIA,"and the Cult of National Security trolls at Coast to Cast A.M. are every bit as culpable; yet you are right there in line with your gangster buddies up there, so, yah, its a few mafias, not just one; and yah, they kind of do control the world and its ideas right now.
And they all suck pork boners at Bohemian Grove, and so on. With irony, I note that I actually know a clown or two who performs at Bohemian Grove as well, no shit.
So, I don't know what you are on about, detective Claus, but so far, batting zero in the Antishemiticlismicist Bingo.
You should try your hand at the Somerton Man mystery, or Bigfoot, its easier to solve.
But thanks for the ROGS Bingo win on the useful idiot assisted smear campaign. Please, keep it up, you continue to prove my point somewhat eloquently for a notoriously low-T Nordic specimen.

Here it is again, if you are looking:
Art Acevedo trained in Israel
https://palestineishere.org/places/police/page/2/
So, um, what's your definition of empirical evidence anyways? You and Claus seem to disagree, because Claus there is going on about conspiracies, while I am creating empirical evidence that you and others are actually part of the militarized police problem.
For my part, every time TD publishes an article about the militarized police,or that many of these mass shootings are precipitated by bizarre contact with people like Rita Katz and SITE intelligence, and I point out that they are all training in Israel, you and the other in-house TD troll staples hide my post.
So, I mean, that's empirical evidence of viewpoint discrimination; and that you and the Krew don't like these facts publicized.
So, exactly what are you claiming, if not that you are yourself kind of a nutjob?

Re: Fire in a crowded (politicized dialectic space)
You are positing right wing bad, left wing innocent, which is false.
The Dayton OH shooter, Connor Betts was said to have done what he did in Dayton, because of the same argument you are making, with the exception that he was claimed to have been "radicalized" by pornography, and left wing music and ideologies.
And with other shooters, we see the private contractors who harass these guys trying to pin blame on the other political party. on Reddit/ZeroHedge/Techdirt, etc(in the example above).
So, politicizing it doesn't help. And, publicizing these nefarious and illegal high policing assaults on individuals aka "parallel colliding investigations" WILL help.
What might also help is asking the right questions, like "why are the cops and undercover cops curiously close to the shooters in the seconds leading up to the events?"
And my answer, which is replicated in shooting after shooting, is that the high policing that is going on, aka close contact surveillance and its bizarre surveillance role players and online/offline harassers under the community policing scheme is the problem.
In Betts case, they were there in thirty seconds. That must be the fastest response time ever in history to any event, ever, much less one of these manufactured terrorist events.
Or, they were there already, tailing the guy everywhere, which we also see in case after case, and which is written about online by both victims, and

Re: Nail/ head, Squeaky wheel/Grease, nasch/radical zionist
Ah, using the search box I see you are actually correct! Which leads to the question... who cares? The fact that Acevedo trained in Israel is not the bombshell you seem to think it is. US police do so many things that are unambiguously terrible - why not focus on those?
[ link to this | view in thread ]
"pornography, and left wing music and ideologies"
And Dan White was allegedly radicalized by eating a Twinkie too many, rather than outrage at political rivalry (which is what most evidence points to, neither junk food nor homophobia).
But after studies of countless failed suicide bombers, IRA attackers and other persons radicalized to violence, we've determined they're not very good at focusing on the object of radicalization. Current terrorism tactics (such as the magazines Dabiq and Inspire) seek to target people who are already radicalized, facilitate their means to act and direct them towards AQAP approved targets.
This is to say, when we have a suicide attacker or rampage killer, their choice of targets or what they're angry about does not necessarily mesh with what radicalized them.
Disclaimer: I don't posit anything about left wing or right wing because neither of the platforms are consistent, hence I seek to refine my positions to specific issues. In the current clime in the US, even moderatism is pretty far right, clinging to a system that allows for feudal stratification and mass peonage (both of which affect the public negatively). Hence, yes, a lot of my opinions are far left, because opinions that invoke rationality, parity and equality are far left.
Also Disclaimer: Looking at your other posts, ROGueS I find them difficult to read, and have outright stopped a while ago. I read in this case because you replied directly to me, and responded with something that I thought could use follow-up. It's no guarantee I'll be able to read or respond to continuation of this thread.

Re:
Ok, that's fair play. I agree with you on the right/left binary distraction. Indeed ISGP studies has documented as much via analysis of the Pilgrims Society and others.
Andd yes, opinions that evoke actual as opposed to pseudo-rationality (the specialty of the NGOs and military trolls) are appreciated.
As are opinions about " feudal stratification and mass peonage". On this we agree, 100%.
Well, beyond the phony narrative of the Houston PD and Art Acevedo, we do see my thesis validated again, as the sister of the murdered Dennis Tuttle sides with the police, lol.
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/sister-of-man-killed-in-houston-police-gun-fight-speaks-out/3 687/
And she's involved in real estate ( No shit: ROGS Analysis predicts this)
Dan White is also an interesting case on many levels-presuming you are talking about the murderer of Harvey Milk? Thomas Szaz was an epic figure in that case, and later the great rise of Dianne Feinstein, by coincidence, of course.
Of course!
https://www.city-journal.org/dan-white
Yeah, the bi-polar narrative is never clear cut, nor accurate. And, curiously, both Nancy Pelosi, AND Dianne Feinstein are the main gatekeepers of that narrative.
Then, yes, many of my posts ARE hard to read, because I am frequently under attack by NGO/.mil/ spergs, and I deliberately utilize various ploys and personas to analyse the responses to my posts.
Sorry about that. Which is why I spoke to you, directly this time.
Your post on your blog (?) about how good guys with guns must analyze situations, and respond to bad guys still resonates with me. as does the movie "The Sergeant" with Rod Steiger.

Re: Re: Nail/ head, Squeaky wheel/Grease, nasch/radical zionist
Well, thanks for this affirmation, many years late:
using the search box I see you are actually correct!
What? ROGS is correct about something?
I appreciate your honesty there. That said, I never claimed bombshell status for that factoid.
But when we thread the foul, rotten dirty pigs" narrative together, and it happens-by coincidence, of course!- to implicate terror training in Israel as a precipitator of mass shootings, police brutality, and more (not least of which is all that bogus mind reading technology sold to US police, by shitbags from the IDF that targets our protesters), it is significant that these police chiefs are training in Israel*, and militarizing American police, which is an extremely important part of the narrative.
And that missing piece of the narrative casts most of TDs otherwise excellent dissent into a bad light.
Accountability only comes after we prove the narrative, and then, hold those accountable who should be held accountable.
SO, when I use words that are rendered taboo here by the High Proests of dissent and discourse, and then, hordes of Negevbillies, ADL trolls, and NGO scum, MIT AI bots, etc. flag my comments here, that is also part of the problem of holding people accountable.
So, for a real time example, are the curious deaths of every straight black male in the Ferguson protests, many of them found shot in the head, in burning cars, which is even WORSE tenfold than what happened to the couple in Houston.
In that case, we see that Darren Seals was himself rendered taboo as a speaker, for politically incorrect speech, and then, his linking his struggle with Palestinians, and then, he was summarily murdered.
It was Darren Seals arms into which Michael Brown's mother cried.
And he, too, was threading together the co-option of his legitimate dissent, and the monetization of his movement, and of course, he found the Ford Foundation and its white female/white liberal do-nothings at the forefront of that co-option.
More on him:
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/ferguson-death-mystery-black-lives-matter-mic hael-brown-809407/
Yes, there is an ideological thread between cases like Acevedo's and Israelification, and some particularly noxious TD commenters(both real and AI bot)HATE me for bringing it up: white liberal, white christian, and white Jewish co-option of genuine protest movements.
Now I will wait, to see how quick this post gets flagged off of here. That's a demonstrated pattern here at Techdirt.
(not a good look, BTW, TD)
The joke of course, is on Darren Seals, as the so-called "liberal" Rolling Stone falsely ties Seals to Black Lives Matter, a movement that he distinctly repudiated, and claimed was the monetization of black suffering, and further exploitation of Ferguson activists, and the residents there who are brutalized by cops.
I call that the after death body punch, and its consistent across all of these cases too.
