Flaming A-Hole leads a "Post-Organizational Paradigm"

You are absolutely correct, Ellie. Rep. Greg Steube (VWRC-FL) is a fucking asshole.

The VWRC and its operatives are whistling on a frequency that their dogs hear loud and clear. Thanks to modern communication theory, they no longer need to have a central commander and traditional leadership in the field.

The “Post-Organizational Paradigm” just lets everyone on the team know what’s expected That can mean pulling out an assault rifle and “attacking” a church or school or supermarket or nightclub or…

The leaders, like Pisswig the Demented Moron, don’t care, as long as the violence terrorizes the country and lurches politics rightward.



Navigating a Post-Group World

Guhl and Davey, in a study of Telegram published in early 2020, defined a “post-organisational paradigm” as one wherein an “online connection to extremist culture and ideology could be equally important for inspiring violence as connections to ‘on the ground groups.’” The pair cited a wave of white supremacist terror attacks across the globe in 2018 and 2019 – the latter of which was named “the most lethal year for domestic violent extremism in the United States since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995,” according to the Department of Homeland Security – as emblematic of this shift.

Davey said in an email that these findings were based on a network analysis of different channels on the platform sharing each other’s content.

“Crucially we found that [Telegram] channels which were associated more broadly with the sharing of extremist memes and general discussion were connected into channels which were focused more explicitly on violent activity, suggesting that users with a general interest in the extreme right wing could easily and quickly find themselves coming into content advocating for extreme violence,” he wrote.

Guhl and Davey’s observations in their report were particular to the broader white power movement. On Telegram, channels associated with white power accelerationism – a strategy popular in parts of the extreme right that contends modern society is irredeemable and offers up apocalyptic race war as a solution – have sought to dissuade their followers against traditional organizing methods.

If ever there were a good candidate for stem cell therapy...

This meta-analysis demonstrated that stem cell therapy improves cardiac function and reduces mortality in dilated cardiomyopathy patients, which suggested that stem cell therapy may represent a new therapy option for dilated cardiomyopathy.

I understand Hank "dropped in" after Lavrov & Kysliak

From CNN:

Excerpt…

A later meeting with Kissinger, however, wasn’t as restricted. The session didn’t appear on the President’s schedule earlier in the day, and members of the media were scrambled at the last minute to shoot a photo-op of the session.

Initially, the White House indicated the photo spray would be with Lavrov. Instead, it was Nixon’s former top diplomat in the chair next to Trump.

Trump said he was meeting with Kissinger to talk “about Russia and various other matters.”

Since he fired Comey, Trump has faced comparisons to Kissinger’s boss, whose dismissal of a special prosecutor in 1973 was a precursor to the Watergate scandal.

No wonder Kissinger declined 9-11 government service rather than reveal his client list.

He really is.

We wouldn’t know about the top Russian spies, er, diplomats in the Oval Office were it not for Trump showing off the photos via Twitter or Instagram.

No American news media were informed of the visit or invited to report on it.



After the Lavrov session had concluded, members of the U.S. media were allowed into the Oval Office, where they found the president sitting with Henry Kissinger, who served as President Richard Nixon's secretary of state. The meeting hadn't been listed on the president's official schedule.

Then there’s that OTHER time…

"I aced the test."



IMPOTUS: "I actually took one when I -- very recently, when I -- when I was -- the radical left were saying, is he all there? Is he all there? And I proved I was all there, because I got -- I aced it. I aced the test. I took it at Walter Reed Medical Center in front of doctors. And they were very surprised. They said, that's an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did."

In the Oval Office in the merry month of May 2017

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

"I'm not under investigation," he added.

NAZI GOP signals time for Civil War.

Like their gun worshipping hero Adolf Hitler, today’s Republicans want to take the country down the Dead Ender path. THIS was during a hearing on STOPPING GUN VIOLENCE AT SCHOOLS!



'Whatever I want with my guns': GOP lawmaker pulls out handguns during House hearing on gun control

Candy Woodall
USA TODAY, June 2, 2022

WASHINGTON – Florida Congressman Greg Steube pulled out multiple handguns during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday aimed at curbing mass shootings.

The Republican congressman appeared by video conference from his Florida home, arguing that Democrats are trying to strip Americans' constitutional right to bear arms by restricting the ammunition they use.

"Don't let them fool you that they're not attempting to take away your ability to purchase handguns," Steube said. "They are using the magazine ban to do it."

The congressman said his Sig Sauer P365 XL comes with a 15-round magazine and would be banned if the Democrats' "Protecting Our Kids Act" passes. The congressman also said the Glock 19 would be banned.

Snip…

The display of weapons added to the tension of a legislative hearing packed with partisan and personal broadsides over an issue that has deeply divided Ameicans (sic).

We want public safety? Lock up NAZIs.

Where would you like to live, Canada or USA?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau froze handgun sales in order to prevent his nation from becoming an armed madhouse.

While I won’t abandon or betray my country, the United States, I would rather have it also become a handgun (and, hopefully, assault weapon) free zone.
