Where are the civil libertarians standing up for me? Well, for even telling people what's happened to me, I seem to get treated even more harshly - even being targeted by the government more so for saying what the government has done. For even telling people what I've endured, I further alienate people. And, really, how am I supposed to have relationships? Either people believe I'm imagining something I'm not, or I'm the guy the government is covertly harassing and therefore contaminated in some way. I have gained nothing by telling people about the covert harassment I have endured. I gain nothing by doing so. I know it sounds bizarre. If it weren't true, I wouldn't be saying it. But you know what? I can feel pretty good knowing how strong I am. Far from being weak, it has taken an incredible amount of strength to make it this far. And I will make it even farther.
It's kind of amusing that Wayne Allyn Root is nexused with the very people who targeted me, mishandling my casework, for supporting Ron Paul and writing about economic issues. Simultaneously, Root called for Obama being arrested for not making more war. I can't get representation. Nobody can say hi to me, much less debate me. But I can get hacked and harassed by the government. Wayne Allyn Root is a Republican leader. People have been drug so far his way, it's to the point that when I came out in support of Catherine Cortez Masto, I felt it necessary to hedge myself by reminding people I don't exactly believe she is that great, and perhaps Reid does belong in jail. Why? If I didn't, well then I would be accused of being some kind of traitor. Therefore, the most effective way for me to support Democrats isn't necessarily to give them accolades, but to point out that both parties are flawed, but sometimes in different ways and divided government is preferable to one-party rule. Google the words: Catherine cortez masto ordered to crush joe heck.
Might I also add that when Wayne Allyn Root is held up as a Republican leader, calling for the arrest of Obama for not making more war, as he has, it will compel people like myself to use the same language, but for the right reasons (e.g., for war crimes, like the use of torture). Or is there a double standard? It's permissible to say lock up Clinton, but it's impermissible to say lock up Republicans for their actual crimes? It becomes self-evident there's a very serious problem in this country that apparently does justify politicians going to jail. How is it Wayne Allyn Root is given a platform for his speech, but then the very people he is nexused with target people for demolishing statist ideas? When that happens, there becomes a certain level of inefficiency in writing about anything other than politicians being held legally accountable. My actual position is that it's pointless to hold Democrats legally accountable if Republicans, the party in power, are given a pass.
Doesn't Wayne Allyn Root understand that the "extreme vetting" he calls for will one day be used against people like him? How can it not, when I have had to endure covert harassment... for dealing with issues? I'm against torture. Apparently, those of us who are against torture are the bad ones. Just think about the irony of Sarah Palin becoming Secretary of the VA. Supporting torture is permissible. Opposing torture, no matter how salient the argument, is impermissible and an offense worthy of psychiatric intervention. If you are against torture, you are now the "crazy" one. Torture is the new normal.
So I'm supposed to sit here being nice to the very people who oppress me, saying over and over again I don't hate people - unlike others who don't get covertly harassed - and I'm going to be covertly harassed? Well then why be so nice?
The only government I've ever worked for or with in any capacity is the United States government when I was in the Marine Corps. I've never possessed any kind of classified information in my life. I've never murdered anybody. I'm not responsible for a single death through even negligence. I've never raped anybody. Unlike Sarah Palin's son, I've never laid my hands on anybody in any kind of menacing way.
Is it any wonder why the security-industrial complex isn't making us safer? Perhaps that's because my trips to the grocery store have become a matter of national security. I wouldn't torture my worst enemies. I say I love Sharron Angle. I hope Dina Titus runs for U.S. Senate in 2018. I'm capable of explaining why the Electoral College system is superior to a popular vote. I don't question the legitimacy of Trump's victory. I would love nothing more than to high-five Catherine Cortez Masto. I guess that makes me a national-security threat. That's Root's "extreme vetting" in action. And I'm supposed to sleep well?
