This article was on InfoWars yesterday.
Professional protester pastor becomes the latest leftist martyr after ICE agents shot him in the head with pepper round for repeatedly stepping onto federal property.
Oh, well, yeah, you step onto federal property, you should be shot in the head, right?
Especially if you're a leftist.
Look, I don't agree.
So they go through and they do this ad hominem attack.
It's the same thing we saw against that illegal that they swept up and sent to El Salvador without due process.
Now, that particular guy came out after they engaged in a period of character assassination and all the influencers on social media were saying, oh, he deserves it because he's here illegally and all that kind of stuff.
No, he deserves due process.
Deport him, not necessarily to that place for dangerous drug gangs.
But, you know, oh, he's got the tattoos on his hand.
Remember that?
What is it, Kilmar Garcia or something was the guy's name?
Abrego?
Huh?
Abrego Garcia?
Yeah.
Kilmar Abrego or something.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
Anyway, the nonsense about the stuff that was photoshopped on his knuckles and things like that.
It's just they engage in this, and yet in Tennessee, he had been stopped and, I think, charged.
I don't know if they arrested him or not.
Yeah, human trafficking.
Yeah, human trafficking in Tennessee.
And the Trump administration and the influencers were too stupid to pick up on the real crime.
Instead, they're manufacturing this other stuff and denying him due process and coming up with ad hominem attacks against him that is just like red meat to the base.
And so I think the guy deserves to be jailed, but he deserves due process.
You know, we don't want to have a situation.
And I know a lot of you get angry when I say this because you want the, we look at the same end that we want, but the means makes all the difference in the world.
You know, if you've got somebody that's involved in a murder, let's say there's a lot of witnesses and you catch the guy red-handed with a smoking gun.
It was like a mass shooting or something, and you arrest him.
Should you just take him over to the closest tree and lynch him?
No.
We give due process to this.
Even when it's so obvious that this person is guilty, we still go through the process of due process.
Why is that?
Well, because if we let them lynch the guy on the spot this time, guess what?
That makes it, it starts to set that as a precedent.
And before you know it, we got lynch mobs all over the place.
And we do not want to have that.
This is why the precedents and the process are so vital.
And we cannot let that go because we know this person is guilty or because we don't like this person or whatever.
That's even worse.
But that's what's being put out there now.
So the due process is vital.
That's why what Trump is doing in Venezuela is so horrific.
The due process is vital.
There was no evidence.
There was no due process.
They just murder people on boats.
And they've now done it, I think, four times.
Is that right?
I think it is four times.
I think, I'm pretty sure it's four.
And it's a war crime.
He's just out there murdering people.
We have never done that.
He doesn't have a law that allows that.
That's against American laws, against international law.
In the past, if somebody suspected of being a drug dealer, you stop them, you interdict it, you search, you grab the drugs, you arrest the people, you take them back, you put them on trial, put them in jail, that type of thing.
You don't just blow them out of the water.
And this is what is so dangerous about the Trump administration, the people around him.
So what InfoWars does is they've got a picture at the top of it of a guy who's being shoved.
And it's, let's see, where is this picture here?
It is this one right here.
This is at the top of the article.
Now, you look at this and it's like, I don't know, it's hard to tell, but it looks like he's being pushed back.
Did he push the other person first before that happened?
Well, there's actually a video that was what Kellen McBrain did was he went through and picked up a bunch of tweets from government influencers and made an article out of it.
Shame on him for doing this.
So this is the video that this one government influencer put out showing this.
Look, ICE is trying to leave.
Oh, well, ICE is trying to leave.
We've got a big crowd there.
And it looks to me like it's a bunch of protesters and they want to leave.
It's not like they're.
Now look at this.
He pushes back on the agent.
Can you see his arm pushing?
I don't see his arm pushing.
Now that's him being shoved by the agent.
I'm sorry, when I look at that, I don't see somebody who's getting aggressive with the cops.
I see the cops getting aggressive with people who are standing around as protesters and it's like, we want to get out of here.
So they start shoving him and they use it to show that this guy is somehow fighting them.
Look, I don't agree with this priest.
I don't agree with his politics.
And I certainly don't agree with his take on Christianity at all.
And so what this article is about is the fact this guy's been at protests one after the other.
And people have gone back.
These government influencers have gone back and drugged up stuff about his church and his LGBT garbage that he does.
and his pro-abortion protests and things like that.
And, you know, to do basically an ad hominem attack on this guy.
So because he's a radical leftist, he deserves to be shot in the head with a pepper ball.
And we can all cheer that.
You realize how stupid that is info wars, Kellen?
Come on.
You guys are better than that.
I know you're better than that, Kellen.
Don't go for this cheap stuff because your boss wants it.
It's disgusting.
Footage and images of radical left pastor David Black being hit in the head with a pepper bullet and sprayed with mace for refusing to obey law enforcement commands have Democrats furious.
Do I have to obey every command that a law enforcement officer gives me?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
We have rights and they have restrictions as to what they're allowed to do.
And we better stand up for our rights or we're going to be shoved into the ground and we're going to have a boot stomping on our face.
Forever.
Senator Tina Smith says if ICE thinks it's okay to assault a pastor, it doesn't have anything to do with him being a pastor either.
In broad daylight, imagine what they're doing in the dark.
It could be anybody, right?
It's clear that this guy, when you look at this shot here of him being hit with a pepper ball, is he doing anything violent?
Is he bothering anybody?
He's standing there with his arms outstretched and he's talking to him and they shoot him in the head right there.
Now, what's the excuse for that?
You know, that is what he was doing right there, standing there, whatever he's saying to them.
He has not only a God-given right, but he has specific protection from the Constitution that those uniformed thugs swore as a condition to get their guns and play army on people.
I'm disgusted with them.
They're absolutely disgusting.
So it shows, you know, they try to say that pushing him is he was pushing them before.
And so this guy, who is some guy named Pepperjack, is really kind of the basis of the article that Kellen wrote.
And the guy says, FAFO is obvious.
Context is always key.
Yeah, here's the context, Pepperjack.
Probably some government armed thug.
Constitution and rule of law is the context here.
And if you don't see somebody that's a threat to you, you don't shoot them with a gun.
And if you see somebody who is peacefully protesting, even if you don't like what they say, even if you don't like what they do, you don't get a shot at hitting them in the face with a pepper ball either.
And so what this guy, Pepperjack, did was he put up a couple of other things.
He said, look, he's a rabble-rouser.
Listen to what he said about Trump.
And I want you to listen to what he had to say about Trump.
And I'll explain to you how clueless and ignorant this guy is for putting this thing up.
Trump thinks he has a hammer in his hand.
And he thinks he can bring that hammer to Chicago.
But he's about to find out that Chicago is an anvil.
Okay, is that a threat?
Does an anvil act?
What he's referencing is Goethe's statement.
You're either hammer or anvil, right?
And what he's saying is that he can hammer us.
He can be the aggressor.
And we can take the blows as an anvil.
And it's not going to change us.
That's what he's saying.
He's not talking about aggression at all.
How idiotic are these people who work for the government like Pepperjack?
Just a government thug.
And he doesn't even understand what the guy is saying.
And then he shows the third thing he shows, besides those pictures.
He shows this.
He says, look at this.
He's got a shofar.
Oh, well, a shofar is to signal battle.
Well, you know, it's got religious significance.
I've seen a lot of people at protests with shofars, mainly these Trump Zionist Christians that are out there with shofars.
I had this one guy that whenever I'd go up to Washington, he would always show up.
And he lived in Washington, and he was a hardcore Zionist.
And he would follow me around with his chofar.
He'd say, look, I blew this shofar.
We did this.
Trump is the greatest thing ever.
You need to really get on board with this, David.
You know, he's always trying to convert me into this stuff.
And he's got his shofar.
But he's not doing that as a piece of violence.
So this guy's saying, look, he's got a chofar.
He's saying, when you hammer us, you're going to find out that we're an anvil.
Oh, so that makes him dangerous.
And he was pushed and shoved by the cops before.
So definitely he deserves to be shot in the face with a pepper spray.
Does a chofer not get the protection of the First Amendment?
Is that really so specific a call to violence that it qualifies as not free speech?
Well, I can tell you what he had to say about hammer and anvil and blowing the chofer.
Alex Jones better be pretty careful about that because what Alex Jones did on January the 6th, the day before, so shows up and he goes, well, one way or the other, we're going to get that guy of the White House.
That's a much more direct threat.
That doesn't qualify under still protected speech.
But hey, you want to start playing this game, Alex?
You're next.
They're going to come after you.
You want to shut down political speech with people because you don't agree with them?
You're the next one, and you're an easy target because you've got a big mouth in terms of violence.
You're always out there talking about how tough you are.
Bring it on, right?
And when it really happens in a riot, we've seen what Alex does.
He tucks tail and runs.
I tell you, this guy is all talk, all talk.
Anyway, a non-lethal round is what he puts it there.
So that's fine.
Get hit in the face with a pepperball thing is a non-lethal round, and it's okay.
The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds, said an immigration lawyer.
The priest is standing there not doing anything remotely illegal.
And without warning, a mass DHS agent on the roof shoots him the top of his head with a pepper ball.
And so he had Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security commented on this.
It took place on September the 19th, but only recently came to national attention.
By the way, you're going to see that same thing with that cop who fired five bullets into the woman after he rammed her with his car.
It's going to take a while for that video to surface, but it'll surface.
And they'll say, well, that's old.
We don't do that kind of stuff today, I guess.
Anyway, it doesn't show that the leftist agitators were blocking ICE vehicles.
Well, again, it's kind of like these videos that you see frequently of the Grenadier Guards, right, when they're marching in London and they're marching down.
I've seen pictures of tourists who are taking pictures of something and they don't even see them coming.
They're up behind them.
And the guy just shouts, oh wait, and knocks the women down, you know?
That's not good optics, actually.
But, you know, at least they're not shooting the people like we do here.
And these guys, that's the mindset they get.
You know, you're nothing.
You're not a human being.
You're just cattle to be ordered around by them.
And I don't accept that.
I'm sorry.
When do they call in the Reaper drones, right?
Are we going to have any proportional force?
No, let's just call in some Reaper drones on people, the protesters.
Let's just shoot them all with that.
And that's the thing.
People show up, peaceful protests, these cops get tired of it, and they initiate the force.
They start pushing and shoving people.
This all happened on January the 6th.
What's the matter with the MAGA people that they don't remember that?
Remember when the government initiated that force?
No, you don't, right?
Now you're cheering it again.
What this clipped video doesn't show is that these agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility, impeding operations.
Well, I just showed that to you with this one here.
Oh, wait, that's not it.
Let's see.
Where is it?
The one where they're, yeah, the pushing one.
So here's an ice.
So you've got a lot of protesters that are out there.
They're not necessarily right around the vehicle.
They're standing in the street.
And so the cops come up and get out of the way.
You know, push them right here.
And I'm sorry, but even with the arrows, I don't see what they're trying to say here.
looks to me like the aggressor is the guy who's suited up in armor body armor and helmets uh and he's the one who is how in the world do you betray the uh the priest and the that's getting shoved How do you portray him as the aggressor in a shot like that?
And that guy actually put that up.
Pepperjack put that up.
It's a little reflexive action to try to push the arm away.
So if a cop comes up to you and wants to shove you, you better just let him shove you or whatever.
Don't even try to get your balance.
Because if you do, you'll be tagged as a violent intimidator by Keller McBreen in Infowars.
It's unbelievable.
Well, let's contrast this hypocrisy of the guy who did four documentaries and made a ton of money off of the police state series documentaries.
Let's contrast that with somebody who has remained solid in opposition to the police state, solid in support of the Constitution.
And that's John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute.
He says Trump's everywhere war is an insurrection against the Constitution.
And he's exactly right.
When the government can label anyone or anything an enemy in order to wage war, we are all in danger.
And the danger is no longer theoretical, says John Whitehead.
In the same breath that the administration touts legal military strikes against Venezuelan boats in Caribbean waters, federal agents are conducting coordinated militarized raids on homes in Chicago, rappelling down an apartment building from Blackhawk helicopters, dragging families out of their homes, separating children from their parents, using zip ties to immobilize them, even citizens.
The message, spoken and unspoken, is that the government is on war footing everywhere, abroad, at sea, and now at our front doors.
And I've said for the longest time.
You know, what we're going to have in this fourth turning is likely to be a world war, a civil war, and a revolutionary war.
And it doesn't necessarily mean the good guys are going to win in a revolutionary war now.
And that's what Trump is trying to make happen.
That is really the goal.
That's why they put him in power.
And look, if you go back and you look at the election, can't you see how they manipulate this guy back into power, making him a victim, setting up a fake assassination attempt?
I'm telling you, I don't buy that for one minute.
Don't buy that for a minute.
Fight, fight, fight.
This everywhere war depends on simple redefinition.
Call it a war, and the target becomes a combatant.
Call the city a battle space and its residents become suspects.
What the White House is doing overseas to vessels is deemed part of a terrorist network, but they do it without any credible proof or due process.
And it's now being mimicked at home with door-kicking raids, mass surveillance, and ideological watch lists.
That's right.
If you are a victim of these thugs, the dutiful influencers who are supporting the Trump government will come in and tell you how this person, oh, look, you know, they had a pride event at their church, and he's been in a lot of these things before.
So they'll do an ad hominem attack on you.
I don't like any of that stuff.
And guess what?
It doesn't matter.
If you are going to support this against people that you don't like, you're going to call them a radical leftist and tell them, yeah, go ahead and shoot the guy in the face.
Go ahead and shoot her five times.
The radical leftists.
I don't like them.
If you do that, you're next.
With a stroke of a pen, Trump continues to set aside the constitutional safeguards meant to restrain exactly this kind of mission creep and exactly this kind of creep.
Handing himself and his agencies sweeping authority to disregard the very principles on which this nation was founded.
Principles intended to serve as constitutional safeguards against tyranny, corruption, abuse, and overreach put in place by America's founding fathers.
Take this memorandum, the National Security Presidential Memorandum 7.
And he refers to this throughout the rest of the article, NSPM 7.
It directs a government-wide campaign to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle so-called domestic threats, ordering agencies to pool their data, resources, and operations in service of this agenda.
What makes this so dangerous is not only its declared purpose, but its breadth and its secrecy.
There are clearly no defined standards.
There is no meaningful transparency.
There is no meaningful external oversight.
The public is told only that the government will protect them by watching them.
Yet the danger is not only in what the government hides, but in what it chooses to see.
Even more troubling is the way that threats are going to be defined.
What is being sold as a campaign to disrupt left-wing conspiracies has expanded to include ideology, rhetoric, and belief.
And you better believe that they will use that against us, that the left will use that against us.
This is what the MAGA media like Infowars is already pushing.
That's exactly what they did.
They said, well, look, this guy's a leftist, and so we can do whatever we want to.
He's ideologically wrong.
So that's a crime in and of itself.
And we don't have to restrain the police.
Clearly, this is not just another surveillance program.
It's a framework for rebranding dissent as danger to be quashed.
Once dissent is rebranded as danger, every act of resistance can be swept into the government's dragnet.
If you don't support that priest who got shot in the face because he got shot and he got shoved, so look, it's on him, right?
FAFO is what they love to say.
I tell you, that is a real tell when somebody uses that.
It's like, yeah, good.
He deserves this.
And that's what InfoWars is going to FAFO itself.
So you start cheering Trump and all this stuff, and you see if it doesn't come back on you when the next Democrat comes in.
It also resurrects an old playbook with just new machinery.
The old playbook was COINTEL PRO, and it's now been digitized and centralized.
The tools may be different, but the logic, let's neutralize dissent, is the same.
It's now scaled up with modern surveillance and stitched together under extreme direction and executive direction.
The apparatus needs only a pretext to justify recasting citizens as suspects.
For years now, the government has flagged certain viewpoints and phrases.
To that list, you can now add anti-Christian, anti-capitalist, and anti-American, however they define those things.
In practice, sermons, protests, blog posts, or donor lists could all be flagged as precursors to terrorism.
Anything can be declared a war.
Anyone can be redefined as an enemy combatant, which is what Infowars are trying to do to this liberal priest or pastor or whatever he is.
He's a Presbyterian, so he's not priest, but anyway.
The definition shifts with political convenience, but the result is always the same.
Unchecked executive power.
The raids in Chicago and the White House's evolving attitude towards surveillance confirm what follows from that logic.
This is warfooting, and it's not confined to foreign shores.
It is being turned inward towards journalists, political opponents, and ordinary citizens whose beliefs or associations are deemed anti-American.
And by that, what they mean is anti-Trump.
By anti-American, this administration really means anti-government, especially when Trump is calling the shots.
This is how dissent gets relabeled as danger.
When merely looking a certain way, or talking a certain way, or voting a certain way is enough to get you singled out and subjected to dehumanizing, cruel treatment by government agents, we are all in danger.
As a matter of fact, that is precisely the tenor and the tone and the direction that was done in that Infowars article.
Single this guy out because of who he was.
They obviously don't like his political views, and neither do I. But to say that he deserves that brutality, guess what?
That brutality is going to be coming for you next.
You're creating a monster that you can't control.
When the police state has a growing list of innocuous terms and behaviors that are suspicious enough to classify someone as a terrorist, we are all in danger.
Today it's drug cartels.
Yesterday it was immigrants.
Tomorrow it could be journalists, political opponents, or ordinary citizens who express views that are deemed to be anti-American or anti-whatever they want.
And so his influencers, Trump's influencers, are pushing for you to be shot for your political beliefs.
You should be shot.
You should be shot in the face or shot five times because she posted some stuff about not liking Trump.
We need to show up and protest these people.
Well, it's the same thing Alex Jones did about January the 6th.
With this memo in SPM 7, the Trump White House is institutionalizing a regime in which thought, dissent, and ideological posture become the raw material for domestic investigations and suppressions.
That is an unprecedented escalation in the government's war on privacy, dissent, and constitutional limits.
And it's coming to us by the same guy that you're supposed to trust because he's got a plan.
Let me tell you, this plan has been a deep state plan for a long time, and they've got this guy there to anastasize you so that you go along with it.
The Patriot Act normalized warrantless surveillance.
The FISA courts gave secret cover for dragnet spying.
The NSA's metadata sweeps exposed millions of Americans' phone records.
Predictive policing and geofencing warrants turned smartphones into government informants.
Each of these measures, we were told, was temporary, limited, and necessary.
But none of them are ever rolled back.
It's a ratcheting effect, folks.
Each became the foundation for the next expansion.
Against this backdrop, NSPM 7 emerges as the next most dangerous iteration.
This is how liberties die.
Not with a sudden coup, but with a gradual normalization of extraordinary powers until they are no longer extraordinary at all.
Yeah, it's like the beginning of the Second Amendment.
Infringements, gradual infringements, death by a thousand cuts.
It is the embodiment of James Madison's nightmare.
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judicial, in the same hands, the hands of Donald Trump.
Unless we the people demand accountability, this memo will become the new normal entrenched in the machinery of government long after this administration has passed.
A government that answers only to itself is not a constitutional republic.
It is a rogue state.
And I would say the same thing about a president.
A president who answers only to himself is not a constitutional president.
Is a rogue president.
Unchecked power is unconstitutional power.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
