The Covert Report without Susan Lindauer (21 November 2021)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I'm here, Susan.
Why can't I hear any volume?
Never got Scott.
Jim, I can't.
I want you to start the show because I'm getting my volume straightened out.
Oh Susan, my pleasure.
Listen, we had the verdict.
In the Kyle Rittenhouse case, and it was sensational, the Jorars did their job.
Jim, start the show because I'm getting the volume straightened out.
Yes, yes, yes.
This is Jim Fetzer joining Susan Lindauer and Scott Bennett today here on the Covert Report.
We begin with the biggest story of the week to wit, the verdict in not guilty on all counts.
Kyle Rittenhouse, who was shaking as the verdict was read, sat down and began crying after he heard the jury forewoman say, not guilty, five separate times just before 1.15 p.m.
ET.
The judge thanked the 12 jurors for their service and dismissed them.
The judge had been asked by the defense to declare a mistrial on the grounds they'd receive a copy of a drone video That was inferior in quality to the one available to the prosecutors.
Prosecution was they only discovered on Sunday.
On Saturday, they were finally provided it.
One of the prosecutors had let it slip.
In court that their copy was superior.
This was withholding evidence as a gross violation of judicial ethics.
In my opinion, there were several in the case of this prosecution team, including the sixth charge.
Which the judge dropped after reviewing the law claiming that Kyle Rittenhouse had an illegal weapon, which turned out not to be the case.
You're hearing a lot about him having crossed lines with the weapon.
That was not true either.
He was entitled to have the gun in public display and in possession as long as it did not have a short barrel, which would have been 16 inches or left, but this was a normal length AR-15 and therefore it was not.
A proper charge against him, just one more form of misconduct by the prosecution.
In addition, they support perjury.
They put on the two owners of the car lot who had solicited Kyle and others to come to defend their property, who claimed they'd never heard of him.
They knew in advance that that was not the case, that they'd had conversations with Kyle.
You put these together and the violation of Kyle's constitutional rights when they asked why he'd remained silent since the event had taken place on August 25th until now, which a judge had ruled Prior to the trial would be improper and inadmissible given the accused Miranda rights.
When the prosecutor went ahead and did it anyway, the judge was furious, cleared the court.
We also had the prosecution absurdly picking up Kyle's rifle and turning it on the Uh, into the courtroom with his finger on the trigger, a gross violation of gun safety, which some regarded as a form of intimidation.
We believe that it would be a rapid verdict because the issues were clear cut.
But there are three grounds on which I fought the judge in spite of his otherwise flawless performance.
Number one, he did not sequester the jury.
That meant the jurors could have been affected by information to which they were exposed, even if unintentionally, on television, on radio, by friends and conversation, even with their own family.
Number two, The jury instructions that judge gave to them were very complicated.
It would have been highly appropriate had the judge simplified them, which he could have done, and it would have made it far easier for them to have reached a verdict.
And then, of course, he withheld, allowing the motion to dismiss with prejudice, which would have meant that the charges could not be refiled.
But and actually, This is an accolade I give to him after the verdict.
But before he dismissed the trial, he was asked again by the defense to dismiss with prejudice, which he did.
So I believe this was highly commendable.
Among the other irregularities, it turned out there was a stringer, a reporter for NBC who actually followed the jury boss in apparent effort to get Photographs of the jurors, which would have made them vulnerable to intimidation.
I'm so glad that, in fact, in trying to keep up with a bus, he ran a red light and he was ticketed by the Kenosha police, who, unlike the days of the rioting, looting and arson, had been, it appears to me, ordered to stand down by the mayor.
They ticketed and he explained he was there at the direction of a producer.
Susan, did any of that go well?
No.
That it was at the direction of the producer for NBC who turned out to be a woman that appeared to be Chinese Who immediately scrubbed, she scrubbed her Facebook, her LinkedIn account to try to evade detection.
That was outrageous.
The judge ordered that neither NBC nor MSNBC could be permitted in the courtroom thereafter, which was completely appropriate.
Susan are you there.
Okay.
Very apologetic about these technical issues.
There were several other aspects of this, but at the moment I have no idea whether we're even on the air.
Susan, can you hear me?
Susan?
The Democrats badly botched a statement about the trial.
Nature.
They tried and failed to show solidarity with those angry about the verdict, but were torched online for their incompetence.
Kyle, who was on trial for the fatal shooting of two rioters during the violent Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Black on Friday, a jury found him not guilty on all counts, as I've explained.
Well, many on the left were angered and outraged.
Some were also dumbfounded by the error-riddled statement from the DCCC.
It's disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man, and take the lives of two people and injure another and face absolutely no consequences.
read the statement from DCCC Chairman Representative Sean Patrick Maloney from New York.
It's clear our legal system has one set of rules for some Americans and very different standards
for others. People are right to be outraged and the right to be outraged at the violence that
disproportionately hurts people of color in the legal system that fails to hold the violence
accountable. But this is completely absurd. It wasn't an assault weapon and AR-15 is falsely
being described that way by the Democrats in the media regularly.
The military version which is capable of firing full automatic is an assault weapon but the AR-15 which is only a semi-automatic is not.
In addition, Those who were involved in the shooting, the victims and the shooter, those he shot and Kyle were all white.
There was no racial aspect to this, but there's been a massive effort to try to spin this as though it Kyle Rittenhouse had shot three black men when none of them were black, though another whom he shot at but missed, who had kicked him in the face, was actually in fact a black man.
All four of these individuals who assaulted Kyle, one of whom was eager to beat him to a bolt and kill him with his bare hands as he threatened to do, That was Jacob Rosenbaum, where he boxed him in at a car dealership and then assaulted him, ambushed him.
It turns out that while he would be described as unarmed, more people die every year from being beaten to death or strangled with their bare hands and are shot.
Most of those who are shot, moreover, are shot by handguns, not by rifles, which is relatively rare.
And in the third place, the overwhelming majority of murders in the United States are by blacks on blacks.
Whites killing blacks is relatively rare, a tiny percentage.
There's like 10 times more than Whites Killing Blacks of Whites Killing Whites or of Blacks Killing Blacks, but there's more than 50 times as many Blacks Killing Blacks.
Whites Killing Blacks is relatively rare indeed.
A second party he shot and killed, Anthony Huber, was trying to kill him with a skateboard, a heavy skateboard, with which he assaulted Kyle Rittenhouse.
And the third actually even testified in court, this is Gage Grosenkamp's, that Kyle had not shot him when he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender that was really only intended to get closer to Kyle.
It was only when he raised his handgun and pointed it at Kyle that he was shot and taking out the bicep on his arm, not killing him.
There are five principles of self-defense including innocence of proportionality.
I reasonable does all of which are satisfied in the car written the house case.
So susan i'm at a bit of a loss of what we do now.
I cannot hear you.
Apparently you can hear me.
I can report more, but we certainly want to have a conversation.
done.
Let me just add, among those who reacted badly in this case was Geraldo Rivera, who
in my opinion, since he's gone legit, hasn't been worth a damn.
Geraldo used to have a show where he'd do all the fringe issues and bring some of the best legal minds in the country together to discuss it most famously.
OJ Simpson trial but prior to that is john bernie ramsay death and so forth he was performing an important public.
Service by examining these issues and drawing the public's attention there too which has.
Subsequently a role taken up by alex jones who actually although there are many who can damn him.
Performs a similar public service by drawing attention to controversial cases and speculating about their possible explanations, which are the first two aspects of reasoning scientifically about matters of this kind.
The other two stages he never seems to reach, which include adaptation of the hypotheses to the evidence to determine which provide the more Adequate explanation where.
That is measured by.
The probability of the evidence assuming the hypothesis is true.
And then those technically are known as the likelihoods and with the likelihoods.
The hypothesis with the highest likelihood.
is a hypothesis preferable to the alternative and where when the evidence settles down and when you succeed in
sorting out the difference between the authentic and the inauthentic, which is a crucial
aspect of a scientific investigation, then the hypothesis with the highest likelihood is a preferable
and is acceptable as true.
Now, just to show how the Democrats have had a meltdown over this decision after having You know, declared that Kyle was a white supremacist, a domestic terrorist, a racist, an active shooter, that he fired some 60 rounds, none of which none of which were true.
Reader supported news, which is.
Left-wing mainstream outlet has been pleading for funding, suggesting to me that they're in desperate plight because the Democrats are losing support across the board and even their venues are not being funded because even Democrats have lost faith in their own party.
Published a piece by a fellow by the name of Adam Serwer, from the Atlantic that took the following stance.
It's one thing to argue that the jury reached a reasonable verdict based on the law, another entirely to celebrate Rittenhouse's action.
The U.S.
is a nation of Washington firearms and gun owners are a powerful and politically active constituency, he writes.
In state after state, they have helped elect politicians who in turn have created a permissive legal regime for the carry and use of firearms rules that go far beyond how courts originally understood the concept of self-defense.
I will assert categorically that this is just ridiculous.
Indeed, the Democrats, and especially President Obama, signed 23 executive orders that constrain our access to weapons under the law.
In some cities, such as Chicago, they have the most severe gun laws, but also the highest gun violence rate, which is readily explicable if you understand the premise the Democrats seek to suppress, to wit.
That homicide rates and gun ownership are inversely related, meaning the more guns, the less gun ownership, the fewer guns, the more guns, the less homicides, the fewer guns, the more.
So that worldwide, this is the phenomenon.
In the past, for example, The United States and Canada, which heretofore have had a very, you know, the highest gun ownership in the world, have also had the lowest homicide rates in the world.
South American countries like Brazil have low gun ownership, but they have high homicide rates.
In Africa, low gun ownership, high homicide rates.
Across Russia, low gun ownership, high homicide rates.
There are many ways to murder people.
Indeed, when London imposed a gun ban of late, they had an epidemic of knife attacks, so they banned knives.
And I said, what's next, potato peelers?
And believe it or not, they wound up banning potato peelers too.
Well, here's this fellow from the Atlantic continuing.
These laws have made it difficult to convict any gun owner who knowingly puts themselves in circumstances where they're likely to use their weapon—that is, anyone who goes looking for a fight.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges after shooting three men in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020, killing two of them.
Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were killed.
Gage Grosskreutz was injured but survived to testify against Rittenhouse at his trial.
Now, that was fascinating testimony, and I have no idea whether this guy even watched it, but Grosskreutz admitted That Kyle only shot him when he pointed his gun at Kyle.
And actually, when he was recovering in the hospital, he told his friend who'd come to visit him that his only regret was that he hadn't unloaded his weapon onto Kyle, every bullet in his mag.
According to Whittenhouse, according to Wisconsin law, Whittenhouse need not have proved he acted in self-defense.
Rather, the state had to prove that he did not.
Even if Rittenhouse traveled to Kenosha with a firearm because he wanted to put himself into a position to use it, the narrow nature of self-defense inquiry is one reason people can escape responsibilities for killings that are deeply wrongful in every moral sense.
Under some circumstances, Wisconsin law allows an individual to provoke an attack and still claim self-defense.
Well, virtually everything in this paragraph is wrong.
Kyle asserted, as was his right, to the charge of murder.
There were six charges.
Five of them were very serious charges that could have entailed life imprisonment, 60 years, 40 years on various.
And then the gun charge, which was improper, and the judge threw out.
He was asserting he had acted in self-defense.
So the state had to show that he had not acted in self-defense because if he acted in self-defense, that would be a form of indication.
They claim even if he traveled to Kenosha with a firearm because he wanted to put himself in the position to use it, that's false.
The firearm was already in Kenosha.
He did not cross state lines.
He was not trying to put himself in a position to use it.
He hoped he would not have to use it.
He only brought it as a prudent precaution in case something were to go wrong and he were to be attacked.
That was completely appropriate.
And while the prosecution Sought to portray Kyle as having provoked the act.
There's massive evidence that that was manifestly false.
The prosecution even doesn't appear to know that Kyle's father lived in Kenosha, that Kyle himself worked as a lifeguard in Kenosha, that Kyle had come there at the request of a car dealership that wanted to hire several persons to protect them because they had suffered some damage earlier in the week of the three days of riding, of which Kyle was there on the third.
They also suppressed that there were hundreds of persons there with weapons, implying there were only a few.
This, again, was egregious misconduct on the part of the prosecution.
And to say reasoned people can escape responsibility for killing that are deeply wrongful in every moral sense.
Well, if there's an action in self-defense, then it wasn't morally wrong.
It was morally right.
Because perhaps our most fundamental human right is the right to self-defense against others who are seeking to kill us or inflict gross bodily harm.
It's really unbelievable that the reader-supported news would publish.
He goes on to say, It's one thing to argue the jury reached a reasonable verdict based on the law and another entirely to celebrate his actions.
Much of the conservative media and the Republican Party, however, don't see the killings as wrongful in any sense.
Instead, elevating Rittenhouse as a manifestation of retributive violence against our political enemies.
That is so biased and corrupt.
It's absolutely stunning.
To politicize the action when it's a criminal case.
We got a criminal prosecution.
Politics ought to be irrelevant.
But clearly, the Democrats have nothing to go with in relation to the law and the facts of the matter.
So they're making every effort they possibly can to politicize it.
The shootings, he continues, took place across a backdrop of protests and riots in Kenosha that followed a police officer's 2020 shooting of Jacob Black.
A 29-year-old black man in the back and the nationwide protests over the murder of George Floyd.
Rittenhouse's critics contend that his intentions were racist because he showed up armed in anticipation of reports on behalf of black rights, while his advocates maintain he was defending the city from rioters and point out all his victims were white.
Well, let me speak about the shooting of Jacob Black.
Jacob Black had a history of domestic abuse.
Jacob Black was attempting to kidnap the children whom he had sired.
She was warning the police that he had her kids and that he was armed.
He, in fact, had a knife in his hand, which he turned toward the police when they shot him.
It's being reported that he is dead, but in fact, he's actually alive, though he was paralyzed by the shooting.
Just one more way in which this whole matter has been insultingly misrepresented by the left.
Let me say that discovering this, I was rather shocked and thought it would be an occasion To communicate with the other political side.
So I published the following comment a day ago.
It is embarrassing that you have published an ideological defense of the Rittenhouse prosecution, where three members of the same family, the mayor, the DA and the detective, appear to have conspired against Kyle to deny his legal rights.
Kyle took a citizen's commitment to defend property and human rights more seriously than the Kenosha police, who stood down while looting and rioting was taking place.
He sought to provide medical assistance for which he was attacked.
A meticulous legal analysis by Andrew Branca provides a thorough and detailed exoneration on every count.
That's why the prosecution now wants to include sought to include lesser charges because they knew they had no case.
Kyle was kicked in the face by one rioter, another tried to break his neck with a skateboard, a third admitted he had a handgun and was pointing it at Kyle who shot him in the arm.
They, not Kyle, were the aggressors.
It's insulting for anyone to suggest that he was acting as a vigilante and patrolling with illegally obtained guns.
Neither of which appears to be the case.
On the contrary, Kyle's actions were heroic.
His father lives in Kenosha, where he worked as a lifeguard.
He had been invited to help to defend a car dealership.
He was not looking for trouble, and each of the thugs he shot were trying to kill him.
As a former Marine Corps officer who supervised 15 DIs and 300 recruits through basic training, his performance was admirable.
The attacks were imminent and deadly.
His actions were reasonable.
The media and its allies must attack Kyle because his example of self-defense is inspiring, and he showed the world why an AR-15 might make a difference for the public good.
He deserves our admiration.
James H. Fetzer, Ph.D.
Meanwhile, and this is a comment I hadn't seen before, I imagine that you approve as well of Dylan Roof, a disciplined and well-trained shooter defending against the impending slave revolt.
Or what about the determined and resourceful Steven Paddock, who stood his ground against country music?
Apparently, you trained men who went into the jungles and deserts and caves of the peasant people of the world and took target practice on them and called it defending freedom.
Not surprising, you laud Kryon Kyle.
We have been told, we have been sold the idea that this sort of symmetrical violence protects our freedom.
We have lived with this lie for all of our lives.
No wonder we cannot see what is laid out right in front of us so plainly, and that is this.
An active shooter went on a rampage, killed two and wounded another.
So instead, you are blabbering about self-defense.
If only it was just you, if only.
But in fact, an enormous number of Americans are right there with you, drooling like Pavlov's dog, incapable of thinking their way past the insane idea that roaming far from home to take target practice on distant people is justifiable defense.
Well, this is frankly absurd.
The Dylann Roof, of course, was involved in the Charleston church shooting.
I'll tell you, I've investigated that and many other of these shootings and an awful lot of them turn out to be staged.
In this case, when Dylann Roof was arrested, the police didn't treat him like a suspect.
They took him to a Burger King and they bought him a Whopper.
You have footage showing he's entering the building at what they thought was 8 p.m., but it was actually 8 a.m.
because they didn't understand military time, 0800.
So it appears this whole thing was staged.
They had an open casket for the minister, but the body of the casket was much too dark.
He had different physical features.
He was much heavier.
He looked to be a Haitian.
The minister looked like a leaner Uh, physically more able African American as far as, uh, Steven Paddock is concerned there.
He's alluding to the Las Vegas shooting.
Well, I've done a massive amount of work on the Las Vegas shooting where, by the way, I bring together groups of experts who investigate these cases to sort out what really happened.
And it turns out that.
They were playing a pre-recorded soundtrack over the PA system of machine gun firing and complementing it with special effects, flashing lights on the fourth floor of the main section of the Mandalay Hotel with higher lights, three light flashes to simulate American military weapons.
The sound effects were too good throughout the city where a guy, an IT guy of keen hearing, discerned that they had used this pre-recorded soundtrack to create the image.
Crowds On Demand had been recruiting crisis actors for this event for two weeks before Las Vegas took place.
My surmise is that of the 20,000 who were there, there were perhaps 500 crisis actors who reacted when the time came, and they heard the sound of shots as though they were actually being fired upon.
But we have no evidence of anyone actually being harmed.
Paul Craig Roberts, whom I regard as our nation's leading public intellectual, received a letter from a military surgeon of extensive background explaining how he'd reviewed all the videos and the patients in the nearby facilities and none of them had actually been shot.
They all appeared to be actors.
This was complemented by another letter From a trauma surgeon, an American trauma surgeon who added more reasons for concluding this was all phony, fabricated and fake.
I have been parted from my Facebook page, but at the time, one of my Facebook friends actually called the three closest medical hospitals to the shooting and Asked whether anyone had been admitted with a gunshot wound that night.
All three acknowledged no.
No one had been admitted with a gunshot that night.
And where the third helpfully added, I think you're calling about that drill the other day, but no one was harmed.
Please check with the local police.
She left the phone numbers and I myself personally called and confirmed exactly what my Facebook friend had reported.
Indeed, the first two had acknowledged, yes, no, no, no one was admitted with a gunshot wound that day.
The third had been silenced and was reduced to simply saying, you better check with the local police.
Unsurprising, because they don't want the truth to be known.
One of my dear colleagues, Mona Alexis Presley, began tracking down the obituaries that were published for the 50 individuals who allegedly died in Las Vegas, and she found all of them were based on persons who died in different states or on different dates or from different causes of death, meaning none of those was an actual victim.
Others have gone through all the videos.
There are some 33 and found no one who was actually shot, though she did discover a video where you have a man stepping into the crowd and apparently firing into the crowd.
You can see a muzzle flash from his weapon, but no one's hit because he's firing blanks.
The situation is simply absurd.
Mona also was able to track down the crime map For the concert area that night from 8pm before the concert to 8pm the following day, where the crime map reports all the crimes in the vicinity of the concert.
In this instance, there are about 20 entries, but none of them is for a shooting incident, not one.
They're for breaking and entering, assault and battery, recovery of stolen property.
I mean, it's embarrassingly bad when you look at the evidence.
So this fellow who calls himself Midwest Dick is simply ignorant of the facts.
Even the alleged shooter, Steven Paddock, turns out to have been, as it were, a prop In the photographs of him lying on the ground in his suite, you see a handful of shell casings there distributed around his body.
We're supposed to have fired, oh, hundreds and hundreds of rounds.
But the fact is, the shell casings are on top of the blood.
Obviously, that's impossible unless this is a stage setting.
Not only that, but Scott Bennett, who's a former Army intel and psyops officer, determined that some of those shell casings were for gas Propelled pellet guns and others, they prefer CO2 cartridges.
Others were blanks.
In other words, this was a case of the prop mistress just throwing down a handful of shells without, you know, planning or giving any concern to what happened there.
I've covered this case extensively, but obviously Midwest Dick once again does not know what he's talking about.
Here is the original comment.
We don't need vigilantes running around with AR-15s.
We have police.
And if citizens believe the police aren't doing an adequate job, then a reasonable citizen encourages their politicians to provide better police.
Well, there are a lot of oddities about that, including, of course, that the Democrats have been seeking to defund the police.
Here I replied.
Glad you rose to the occasion.
He was not a vigilante, though you and the author here might like to portray him as such.
He was a civic-minded young man who was willing to shoulder responsibilities that the mayor had not, or even appears to have ordered the Kenosha police to stand down.
The Democratic Party has been on the wrong side of a series of issues that have eroded confidence of the American people.
Defunding the police, for example, was an incredibly stupid platform.
Where now many cities, including Minneapolis, Seattle, and New York, are reversing course.
That prominent figures such as Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, and even Nancy Pelosi were publicly encouraging the rioting, looting, and arson across the nation did not improve the party's image.
And discrediting the conscientious efforts of the jury in the Rittenhouse case damages your image.
It's not just that you're siding with three goons with lengthy criminal records, including convictions for pedophilia, child rape, domestic abuse, and burglary, but that the prosecution filed unwarranted charges, subordinated perjury, and withheld evidence in violation of its obligations to judicial systems.
They were pursuing Kyle.
He was not pursuing them.
He was trying to evade them, but they would not let him get away and aggressively assaulted him.
Joseph Rosenbaum, 39, for example, had threatened to kill him if he got him alone and ambushed him in the car lot where Kyle was boxed in.
You might think Rosenbaum was unarmed, but more parties are killed in the U.S.
by being beaten or strangled to death and die from gunshot wounds, for the overwhelming majority who are shot are shot by handguns, not by rifles.
And most murders in America are blacks killed by other blacks, not by wives.
Anthony Huber, 26, repeatedly assaulted Kyle with a skateboard, which was a deadly weapon.
And in case you're unaware, Gage Grosskreutz, now 27, admitted under oath that Kyle did not shoot him when his hands were up, but only when he pointed his pistol at Kyle's head.
Do you know that?
There are five elements to self-defense, namely innocence, imminence, proportionality, avoidance, and reasonableness.
The jury had to determine whether his plea of self-defense was or was not applicable to each of the five felonies charged against him.
They found that they did.
So the suggestion that we should not be surprised by his acquittal because the gun lobby exercises influence simply does not apply here.
They took four days to ascertain whether in each instance Kyle was exonerated by satisfying those five criteria with respect to the charges brought against him.
There seems to be a tendency by Democrats to believe their own propaganda.
Terry McAuliffe went down to defeat because he could not appreciate parents concerned about what their children were being taught in the public schools, while Glenn Youngkin understood and appreciated their concerns.
All McAuliffe had to offer was vague allegations of racism and attacks on Donald Trump, who is not on the ballot.
Indeed, one might have thought Democrats would celebrate the election of a black woman as lieutenant governor and of an Hispanic as attorney general.
But they were of the wrong party.
Americans see through the hypocrisy.
I myself voted for Bill Clinton twice and for Barack Obama twice, but when the choice was between a woman with a history of corruption and a popular guy who was not part of the Washington establishment, it was an easy call.
Actually, a no-brainer.
The party appears to be in denial about what happened in Virginia and New Jersey, but I guarantee that it's going to happen again and again.
And disenchantment with how Biden and Harris are handling the pandemic with mandates are not strengthening your cause.
Even the courts are rejecting them.
Preoccupation with race and gender is un-American and divisive.
Removing statues and renaming schools who are honoring some of the greatest figures of American history are mind-boggling to those of us who understand what's going on.
And trying to take our guns is an entirely lost cause.
Didn't you realize that if you defund the police, there will be less police and the public will realize that if we cannot defend ourselves, we are lost?
It appears that many Democrats have become ideologues and zealots, completely disconnected from the realities of lives.
You have lost your way.
James H. Fetzer, Ph.D.
That one garnered seven dislikes.
Seven dislikes.
My original, I'm just noticing now, had ten dislikes.
So apparently those reading here are impervious to logic and evidence.
Here's another post here.
Is the problem that people have the right to self-defense and to possess the means to do so or the fact that the laws are unequally and subjectively applied?
So that some people do and some don't.
Do we want anyone except a select few to have the right to defend themselves or only a select few to have that right?
On what basis is a decision made and who gets to make it?
I replied and.
That got four likes.
A reasonable question, but the suppression of the Anthony Weiner laptop to keep it from harming Hillary by James Comey and of the Hunter Biden laptop to protect Joe Biden by Christopher Wray are such stupendous illustrations of bias on behalf of Democrats that no one has any doubt about who is and who is not bending the law for politics.
Hint, it's not the GOP.
James H. Fetzer, PhD.
Another comment.
Basic training?
This was real circumstance with real and devastating outcomes.
How is anyone to tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy with a gun?
In this case, either the harmed and dead citizens could be called good guys and acting as if under threat, because they were.
The initial person this incident shot, this adolescent shot, was declared a harmless nutcase.
By another good guy with a gun prior to his encounter with Rittenhouse.
Some years and some experience further would likely have resulted in Kyle acting the same way he did.
By the way, I also have a PhD, but feel little need to add it to my name to enhance any opinions I may spout.
Two lines.
My reply.
Look, I was an artillery officer in the Marine Corps, but served as a series commander at USMC Recruit Depot in San Diego.
I don't quite get what you think you are talking about, but the point I was making is that I have familiarity with weapons and training.
That this 17-year-old could handle himself so well under these circumstances was very impressive.
I don't like smug or arrogant.
I'll call you right back.
I'm on the air.
I'll call you right back.
I don't like smug or arrogant where you exemplify both.
You are a perfect example of one of these zealous Democrats who thinks they know everything and have nothing to learn.
Kyle Rittenhouse set an example that non-ideological Americans found inspiring.
You can trash him and discount what happened here at your peril.
And I notice you did not give your name or your email address, which suggests you are too embarrassed to admit it.
If I were in your shoes, I might do the same.
You demonstrate while your party is going down.
James H. Fetzer, PhD.
And by the way, in all but the first I added my email address.
Here's another.
Glad you had the sense to vote for Clinton and Obama.
Not glad that you think it's okay for 17-year-olds to show up and protest with AR-15s.
Don't make this into something political.
If the evidence supports acquittal, then that is fine.
It is justice.
Don't promote the solution is for snot-nosed kids showing up at high-stress environments with semi-automatic weapons.
A little common sense, Maureen.
One like.
I reply.
My comments are in response to an incredibly politically slanted piece suggesting why the Rittenhouse case should be viewed as political when it was a case of self-defense.
That Democrats are still trying to sell the gun control agenda when they are defunding the police and supporting riots, looting, and arson may explain why they're going to be wiped out in 2022, assuming they don't steal the election as they did in 2020.
And look at what Biden and Harris have done for America in less than a year.
The border is out of control.
Inflation is soaring.
The economy is a mess.
We are energy dependent again.
If you think the American people like any of this, think again.
Biden at 38 percent, Harris at 28 and dropping.
James H. Fetzer, two dislikes.
One more.
I added to this, by the way.
Here's an excellent video of what happened in Kenosha that night with Kyle and company.
Here's the link, www.sovren.media, sovereign.media slash video slash new hyphen Kyle hyphen written house hyphen footage hyphen 36 dot html.
This is very clear, very well done.
Sovereign.media slash video slash new Kyle Rittenhouse footage 36 HTML.
Compare this account with a commentary published by RSN and the other comments here.
Just think it through.
James H. Fetzer, PhD.
Another by a person who actually identifies himself, namely Forrest Walker.
What happened to the old equal force bit?
Did the dead man have guns?
He doesn't understand the law of self-defense.
It's a question of whether you feel your life is in danger or you're in fear of grievous bodily harm, which was the case in all three instances.
Yes, Rosenbaum was attacking him with his fists, but Rosenbaum was certainly capable of killing someone with his fists and had previously declared he was going to kill Kyle Rittenhouse.
He pursued Kyle and boxed him in.
He was the aggressor.
Kyle only acted when he had no choice.
Then we have the other guy who was heeding of Huber was hitting him with a skateboard.
That's a deadly weapon.
He was trying to break his neck.
Kyle only fired when he had no choice.
And the third, actually, gross and grotesque, did have a gun.
That just shows how ignorant these people are.
They're commenting and making a fuss when they have no idea what they're talking about.
I'm going to now return and add comments to the fellow who was I, whose comment I'd not seen before, uh, where I'm glad that there's some action here.
The comment about Dylan Roof, the Charleston shooter and, uh, Steven Paddock in Las Vegas.
Cause this guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
He got three, uh, three likes and then he makes childish remarks about crying Kyle.
Well, Kyle was so relieved.
By having been exonerated, it's absolutely stunning.
So there are a couple of memes that are showing up here.
I mentioned here, here's one by Ben Garrison, who is my opinion, our best political cartoonist with an open and shut case.
There's an open door.
And you see there's various figures on the networks, especially MSNBC, claiming he's a white supremacist.
That's actually Joe Biden himself.
It's false.
There's no evidence that he's a domestic terrorist.
That's false.
There is no evidence.
Joy Reid, that he's a racist.
That's false.
There is no evidence that he's an active shooter.
That's a prosecutor.
There is no evidence that the co-prosecutor, he fired 60 rounds.
That's false.
There is no evidence.
Beneath the open door, the word lies.
Then the door slams shut, not guilty with Kyle's face.
Slam.
I think that's an excellent political cartoon.
And here's another meme, which is, I think, very appropriate.
LeBron James, who has disappointed me again and again by making stupid comments.
This is showing LeBron on Rittenhouse.
We shouldn't have to worry about getting shot every time we try to kill someone.
Stunning.
And of course, we now have Representative Jerry Nadler urging the Department of Justice to review the Rittenhouse case, where Representative Gates rips the continued tormenting of him.
Kyle Rittenhouse's acquittal is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent, and the case justifies federal review by the Department of Justice because he crossed state lines.
Democrat representative and House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler tweeted Friday, this heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent, which justifies federal review by DOJ.
Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people
engage in First Amendment protected protest.
Well, it's very interesting because Kyle's defense attorney was interviewed about this
threat that there should be a federal investigation and he explained no, no federal laws were
involved here.
He didn't cross state lines with the rifle.
The rifle was already in Kenosha.
The rifle was in his legal possession.
So we already know there's no foundation.
But the Democrats are desperate.
They are completely desperate.
Let me add, by the way, that I have done a lot of reporting on, for example, Las Vegas.
Including with Scott Bennett.
We did a very thorough comprehensive review about what happened in Las Vegas.
I believe you can find it on Great Awakenings.
You also want to go to my blog at jamesfetzer.org and look for the 65 shows.
During 2020, I had a program from March through November, during which I presented 65 shows.
The website was called JimTheConspiracyGuy.com.
It had low viewership, however, and I couldn't afford the $100 a month, so I had to close that particular site.
But on my blog, I transferred links to all 65 of those shows.
So if you go to JamesFetzer.org, do a search on the 65 shows, and you'll scroll down and you'll find How to Spot a False Flag, Part 1, and How to Spot a False Flag, Part 2, where I go through a dozen to 15 of these false flag attacks which are staged.
Barack Obama, although many do not know, legalized the use of the same techniques of disinformation and propaganda within the United States that had heretofore only been permitted without by means of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which vitiated the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 that precluded the use of the same techniques of propaganda and disinformation, including staged events.
Paid riots and the like from being conducted within the United States just in time to bring a Sandy Hook, just for a clue and use Sandy Hook as an illustration.
What I do in studying these events is bring together groups of experts to ascertain what really happened.
In the case of Sandy Hook, I brought together 13 experts, including six current or retired PhD professors.
We established a school that had been closed by 2008.
It was loaded with asbestos and other biohazards, damaged by a hurricane.
There even turns out to have been a flood, a massive flood in 2007, of which we were unaware at the time, that made the building uninhabitable.
There were no teachers or students there.
Instead, they used the abandoned school as a set.
For a two-day FEMA drill, technically a mass casualty exercise involving children.
It's stunning how much we know about it.
You'll find a lot there or my other presentations about Sandy Hook.
Just do a search on Sandy Hook, Jim Fetzer, but try BitChute and try 153news.net because my shows are there.
Or you can come on to my blog and right at the top you'll see recent video and older video and make access to it because all this is an elaborate sham for which we have to thank Barack Obama.
Sandy Hook, Boston bombing, Orlando and Dallas, Charlottesville, Parkland, Los Angeles.
Believe it or not, these were all fabricated events where no one or only the alleged perpetrator died.
Check it out.
I'm glad to have had this opportunity to communicate with you, even though I have to admit it's a bit strange because I cannot tell.
But whether it's actually going out over the air.
I'm verifying right now.
Bye.
You know the ease to access.
You'll find it.
And all my blog there's a huge amount of other important material about what has been going on including the
pandemic.
Absolutely stunning stuff.
So I want to encourage you to explore, exercise your mind, be open-minded.
I'm really, frankly, shocked at the extent to which those who are following reader-supported news have no idea about the truth of these matters.
I can only hope they come to a state of greater enlightenment.
Because when you believe false claims, you can be motivated to take actions you would never have done had you known the truth.
So I want to again express appreciation for this opportunity and hope very much that Susan and Scott have been able to get online.
Thanks again for hanging in there.
Don't let yourself be played.
