There are other ductile materials out there that have a better capacity for blocking a given bandwidth. As an expert in wave propagation in media with non-unity dielectric constants, I'm just trying to help. I'm going straight Faraday cage. You can never be too careful.

I did say about the only one, haha. I figured there were one or two others. I mostly agree. I don't think the author necessarily intended to offer solutions so much as deconstruct the decay of our democratic institutions through social upheaval and the unravelling of our political culture, and he especially seeks to use historical and contemporary parallels on a global level in order to offer a perspective on where this could all be ultimately leading. He seems content to acknowledge that tensions could ease and national unity be restored, but the conditions that history has shown to be essential to democracies being revive and return to flourishing don't seem to be present in our current circumstances. More than anything, I think it's just intended to be a wakeup call, and it does a good job of that.

I blame the rabbit holes and echo chambers that can be found on today’s social networks and the internet (and McNabb of course). I don’t agree with censorship, but eventually mental health issues become a concern that need to be addressed.

In the old days they would type out poorly-written, meandering, logically-flawed screeds and mimeograph them into ridiculous newsletters that they'd give out by hand on the sidewalk. Now they type out poorly-written, meandering, logically-flawed screeds and, well... you get the idea... My issue is that they find like minded addicts online, which validates and reinforces their lunacy. It's not good for them, nor is it good for society.

January 25, 20223 yr It Could Have Been Bad': Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman Breaks Silence On Jan. 6 Attack https://www.yahoo.com/now/could-bad-capitol-police-officer-165614909.html Quote "It could have easily been a bloodbath so kudos to everybody there that showed a measure of restraint with regards to deadly force,” Goodman, an Army veteran who served in Iraq, said on an episode of the "3 Brothers No Sense” podcast. Goodman led a group of rioters away from the entrance to the Senate chamber, where lawmakers and staff had been sheltered, giving backup enough time to arrive. His actions were recorded on a HuffPost video. The Senate later voted unanimously to award Goodman the Congressional Gold Medal, the institution’s highest honor. Goodman said he didn’t know how far rioters had advanced into the Capitol building when he ran to confront them after telling Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) to get to safety. "Oh hell, they’re actually in the building,” Goodman said he remembered thinking at the time. "I honestly didn’t know they were that far in the building. They lock eyes on me right away, just like that, I was in it,” he added, crediting his Army training that taught him to "think on the fly.” One of the good guys. Not that the GOP is allowed to say that these days.
January 26, 20223 yr Charge him with Seditious Conspiracy. https://news.yahoo.com/jan-6-panel-lawyer-behind-trump-election-memos-invoked-5th-amendment-146-times-133929484.html?.tsrc=1026 Jan. 6 panel: Lawyer behind Trump election memos invoked 5th Amendment 146 times John Eastman, the conservative law professor who authored memos outlining how President Donald Trump could overturn the results of the 2020 election, invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 146 times when he was questioned by the Jan. 6 committee last month, a lawyer for the panel revealed late Monday. The disclosure came in a court hearing before U.S. District Judge David Carter in Santa Ana, Calif., on Eastman’s lawsuit to block a subpoena from the committee directing Chapman University — where he previously worked as a professor — to turn over more than 19,000 emails relating to his work for Trump in the months following the Nov. 3, 2020, election. The Eastman emails are considered crucial evidence by the committee because, in its view, the law professor’s memos laid out a road map for a constitutional coup: They argued that Vice President Mike Pence could refuse to accept the certified results of the Electoral College vote declaring President-elect Joe Biden the winner. Pence publicly rejected Eastman’s advice, agreeing with the vast majority of legal experts who said he did not have the power to reverse the voters. But Trump backed Eastman’s legal views and lashed out at Pence on Jan. 6, 2021, calling on his vice president to show "extreme courage” during the vote certification. At the "Stop the Steal” rally that day in Washington, where Eastman also spoke, Trump urged his fans to "fight like hell” in support of his false claims that the election had been stolen. Many of those supporters then stormed the U.S. Capitol, assaulted Capitol Police officers and even chanted, "Hang Mike Pence! Eastman was questioned by the committee in a Dec. 9 deposition, but he refused to answer any questions on the grounds that it could violate his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination for potential criminal activity, the House lawyer, Doug Letter, disclosed. Just days after the deposition, Eastman sued the committee to protect his emails from disclosure, arguing that they were protected by attorney-client privilege covering his communications with then-President Trump and his legal team. In response to pointed questioning from the judge on Monday, Eastman’s lawyer said his client has not even produced a "privilege log” identifying which of the emails are covered by the privilege because to do so would risk disclosing the existence of emails that could undercut his assertion of Fifth Amendment rights. But Eastman’s argument suffered a blow when the lawyer for Chapman University, whose computer hosts the emails, told the judge that the professor had no right to use the university email system for his representation of Trump because it was partisan work on behalf of a political candidate — a violation of the university’s status as a nonprofit.
January 26, 20223 yr Charge him with Seditious Conspiracy. https://news.yahoo.com/far-conspiracy-theorist-alex-jones-172944446.html Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones pleaded the 5th Amendment almost 100 times before the January 6 committee The conspiracy theorist Alex Jones testified before the January 6 committee on Monday. Jones said he invoked his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination almost 100 times. Jones spoke at Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally on January 6 and was involved in planning the event. Alex Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist and the host of Infowars, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination almost 100 times while testifying Monday before the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot. Jones made the revelation during his broadcast that evening, and his remarks were first reported on by Politico. Jones spoke at a "Stop the Steal" rally headlined by then President Donald Trump on January 6 that preceded the deadly Capitol attack. CNN reported that Jones was also intricately involved in planning the event, and the Wall Street Journal reported that Jones helped secure a $300,000 donation for the rally's costs and offered more than $50,000 of his own money to choose his speaking slot. In one video posted to Jones' website on January 5, he was seen telling a crowd in Washington, DC, "We have only begun to resist the globalists. We have only begun our fight against tyranny. They have tried to steal this election in front of everyone." "I don't know how this is all going to end, but if they want to fight, they better believe they've got one," he said that night. On January 6, Jones told the crowd gathered at Trump's rally that "we need to understand we're under attack, and we need to understand this is 21st century warfare," adding that they needed to "get on a war footing." "We're here to take our rightful country back peacefully, because we're not globalist, antifa criminals," Jones told the frenzied crowd before they marched to the Capitol. "So let's start marching, and I salute you all." The select committee subpoenaed Jones in November and pointed to media reports and Jones' own statements indicating that he worked with rally organizers Caroline Wren and Cindy Chafian to facilitate "a donor, now known to be Julie Fancelli, to provide what [he] characterized as 'eighty percent' of the funding" for the rally. Jones on Monday told lawmakers that Wren, a Republican fundraiser, was his primary point of contact on January 5 and 6 and described her as a "White House contact." Jones also told House investigators that he started having second thoughts about leading the march to the Capitol when he saw the size of the raucous crowd that gathered for Trump's rally. "You know, maybe we just won't do this," Jones claimed he thought at the time. The conspiracy theorist also mentioned the Justice Department's recent indictment charging Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes and ten other defendants with seditious conspiracy connected to the Capitol riot. "I saw it all as LARPing," Jones said of their actions, meaning live-action role-playing. "I saw a lot of it as playing soldier in the backyard." Rhodes and the other ten defendants were arraigned on Tuesday morning. Most of the defendants entered not-guilty pleas, with the exception of Edward Vallejo, who was not present, and James Beeks, whose lawyer declined to enter a plea and said that "we will stand silent."

Addressing the crowd, Trump said: "If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly. "And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons.

McEnany, who was at work in the White House and around then-President Donald Trump before and during the Capitol attack, was subpoenaed by the panel for records and testimony in November, and turned over text messages to committee investigators. A source familiar with her interactions with the committee has told ABC News that text messages from McEnany's phone were quoted in a recent letter the committee sent to Ivanka Trump. The texts came directly from documents turned over by McEnany, said the source.

February 3, 20223 yr Memo argued Trump-linked officials should seize NSA data in effort to prove election was stolen: report https://news.yahoo.com/memo-argued-trump-linked-officials-144739636.html Quote The authors of the memo specifically asked that Trump direct Christopher Miller, the acting Defense secretary at the time, to tap three cleared individuals to work on a core advisory team to the White House, secretary of Defense and director of national intelligence "regarding foreign interference in the 2020 election." The proposed team included Army lawyer Frank Colon, former National Security Council member Richard Higgins and failed Republican House candidate Michael Del Rosso. The bottom of the memo instructs individuals to dispose of the document "via shreding," spelling the word wrong, while also noting that the content is "proprietary and privileged." Quick, GOP wankers, time for you to start inventing what the word 'shreding' means so you can deflect away from this story too.
