Attorneys General vs the USA

G.O.A.T.

Today many US parents of school-aged children (and many others) are appropriately concerned about the current Attorney General, Merrick B. Garlan, identifying them as domestic terrorists, especially at local School Board meetings. I wonder why? Seeing as how liberal based Attorneys General have been murdering, attacking and in general at opposition with US citizens for quite some time. This post is only a brief look back into recent history. And, we all know what Uncle Dave thinks about not knowing history.

Former Attorney General William Barr, a professed pro gun-confiscation activist, served as the 77th AG under George Bush the Elder and as the 85th AG under Donald Trump. Yes, Bush the Elder was a Republican, but not a conservative and Barr was a flaming liberal registered as a Republican.

As the 77th AG, he sanctioned the shooting of Randy Weaver in the back, the shooting Weaver’s wife, Vicki, to death while she was holding her infant son in their house, the shooting Weaver’s 14 year-old son to death and the shooting of Weaver’s dog by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Barr spent the rest of his term defending the FBI sniper that murdered Vicki Weaver from prosecution. “Courts subsequently largely exonerated Weaver, while excoriating the FBI and the Department of Justice.”1 Bill Barr has not been held accountable for any of these deeds.

Janet Reno was the 78th US Attorney General under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001. She was the first woman AG and served the second longest term as AG.2 Janet Reno has a bunch of other firsts.

The World Trade Center was bombed by militant Islamist on 2/26/1993 in an attempt to collapse both towers and kill tens of thousands of Americans. It killed 6 people, injured over 1,000. This violent attack by foreign agents occurred in New York City, New York, USA under the noses of Janet Reno and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.3

The Branch Dividian compound in Waco Texas, between 2/28/1993 and 4/19/1993, underwent siege by the Federal Government, ending in the conflagration by federal agents of the compound and the murder of 80 US citizens. Janet Reno authorized the assault on the compound because of suspected gun violations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While the cause of the fire was and is disputed, the tear gas incendiary canisters that ignited the fire were the same as those used by the FBI, according to arson investigators.4 No one has been held accountable.

Many believe that the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building April 19, 1995 by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols was an act of retribution for the Waco and Ruby Ridge murders by the Federal Government. This bombing killed at least 168 (including children in a daycare facility for government employees), injured 680 and destroyed the building.5

This unexpected attack succeeded because Janet Reno failed in her duties to the USA. This attack was conceived, planned and executed by US citizens in the USA under the noses of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Ft. Davis, Texas hosted a 6 day kidnapping and stand off by the Republic of Texas cabal in 1977. Once it became known law enforcement swarmed to the site, including local police, county sheriffs personnel, the Texas Rangers a few Border Patrol Agents and, wait for it, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI, who have jurisdiction over kidnappings in the USA. That FBI. Captain Berry Carver of the Texas Rangers said, “Janet Reno told all the federal officers to get out because if things went bad again, it would be another black eye, and they couldn’t afford it,” he said. “Sometimes you have to think outside the box because it’s hard to get into the mind of a kook like that.”

The conflict was de-escalated by Carver and the kidnapping resolved by the Texas Rangers. So, because of fear that the FBI’s reputation couldn’t stand the public scrutiny of a bad outcome similar to the Waco affair of 4 years earlier, Janet Reno relinquished her federally mandated duties to the state institution, the Texas Rangers.6

——-In 2000, Elian Gonzales, a 7 year old Cuban child was motherless because of a boating accident while his mother was attempting to illegally immigrate to the US. Elian was found 4 miles off the coast of Florida, floating in an inner tube and in poor medical condition. He had a natural father, still in Cuba. Elian recovered and was released to his great Uncle in Little Havana, Florida. An International custody battle ensued involving relatives, the US government (in the forms of the Attorney General, district courts and several branches of federal Law enforcement) and Cuba; including relatives, Fidel Castro, Elian’s teachers and fellow students. Well, Elian went back to Cuba, having been forcibly taken from US citizen-relatives at gun point to become a marketing tool for Cuban Marxism and Fidel Castro. He became a member of the Young Communist Union of Cuba at age 14.

All in all, Janet Reno succeeded in returning a Cuban national who had succeeded in traveling under great peril to a free country that pledged to honor Cuban immigrants that succeeded in arriving on US soil to a communist regime in a communist country that was a militant enemy of the United States of America.7

Janet Reno was of paramount importance in militarizing law enforcement all across the United States of America. In this speech8, she made repeated references to chemical and biological weapons. Chemical weapons like incendiary tear gas? Biological weapons like coronavirus? She said, “Also under review is clarifying the definitions in the biological weapons statutes and expansion of these statutes to provide better controls over biological agents.” She also said, “A terrorist attack using a biological weapon may not be immediately apparent…,” but justified her actions bringing military technology to law enforcement.

She continued to justify her actions with public statements and explanations. On a Firehouse podcast, she said, “…the ability to respond to incidents involving chemical and biological agents and nuclear and explosive devices is a crucial component of the OJP’s [Office of Justice Program’s] domestic preparedness initiative.”9 How about that COVID-19 pandemic, how about the 2021 riots over de-funding the police?

A rather infamous career, in my opinion. And no accountability even though Janet Reno admitted the siege was a mistake and she felt responsible. Wonder how those Branch Dividians felt?

So what about the following Attorney General, Janet Napolitano? All she did was make a bold statement that all US veterans were potential terrorists!

In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security produced an intelligence assessment warning that right-wing extremists posed a mounting threat because of several factors that included the election of the nation’s first African-American president. The report, which said that some extremists could come from the ranks of “disgruntled, disillusioned” Army veterans.

So, “In April 2009, federal intelligence officials issued a prescient warning to police departments around the country.”

“Right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat, ”experts in the Department of Homeland Security wrote. “These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists – including lone wolves or small terrorist cells – to carry out violence.”11

“Threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”

Janet Napolitano listed the following for why she targeted Veterans and felt that they were ripe for right wing political parties.12

  1. …the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn…
  2. …including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit…
  3. …could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing [SIC]extremists…
  4. Rightwing [SIC] extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president…
  5. …growth in the number of domestic rightwing [SIC] terrorist and extremist groups…
  6. …in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing…
  7. …the possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
  8. …firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing [SIC] extremist groups, as well as potentially spur…violence against the government.
  9. …returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing [SIC] extremists.
  10. DHS is concerned that rightwing [SIC] extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities.
  11. Rightwing [SIC] extremists perception that illegal immigrants were taking away American jobs…frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence…
