Terror Threat? US Supremes 'Should Never Know Peace Again'
An instructor at the Harvard Law School has Tweeted a threat against the US Supreme Court over its recent overturning of Roe v. Wade: the Justices should "never know peace again." Twitter has taken no action against the threat. Why? Also today: As the US Army faces unprecedented recruitment challenges, today it kicks out 60,000 soldiers...for refusing the Covid shot! Finally: Newsom presides over the worst schools in the nation...so he goes to Washington for an education award! Make sense?
Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report.
With us today is Daniel McAdams, our co-host, Daniel.
Good to see you.
Good morning, Dr. Paul.
How are you this morning?
Doing well, thank you.
Thank you.
You know, there's been a lot in the news about criminal justice and who really gets a fair deal in the courts.
And we have this trial.
It's a trial, but it's a government congressional hearing to find out who the real criminals were on January 6th.
And it's nothing but a show trial.
But there's a lot of abuse there.
A lot of people have suffered from it, like the ones that are still locked up without charges.
I mean, you could list it.
And it's all done in the name of seeking justice.
Well, there's another thing that's happened.
There was a court ruling on abortion.
And from our viewpoint, probably not perfect, but it at least erased some of the very bad imperfections of the federal government a few years back, 1973, where they took over the whole subject of how states must deal with an act of violence, which we consider that to be an abortion.
But the government became a monopolist on that.
They prohibited it in many areas, but they also had a lot of rules and regulations.
They got involved in medical care, what you could do in the third trimester and what you couldn't do, this sort of thing.
And it was, even if you had two objective people, one believed in abortion and one didn't believe in abortion, if they were truly objective and cared about the process, they both would agree.
It should have never been written because it looks like the court merely went back to a status where they canceled out this nationalization of dealing with this issue.
But it's turned into really, really a hot potato.
It's a big deal right now.
And are they dealing with the subject of what is constitutional, what should be done to the state?
It has nothing to do with it.
Now it's hysteria.
It's a political opportunity for the radical, the far-leftists who think that it is the duty of the federal government.
Matter of fact, they're the same individuals who have taken that position and have actually said that they don't even like the Constitution.
They'd get rid of the Constitution.
But this has led to an aggressive attack on the Supreme Court justices, which most people say on television, certainly I would agree with them.
It's never been done like this before.
Whoever heard of, you know, radically and aggressively trying to, you know, destroy the lives of the Supreme Court justices by harassing them.
And this is getting to be, but we have a story out where it appeared on a hedge where they described an individual that said a few words how this should be handled.
She was talking about the justices, the Supreme Court justices, the six that said to go with states' rights.
And Carol Balo, the individual who was an instructor, said, these justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again.
Judge and jury, right?
But it's interesting, there's a lot of politics involved here, a lot of things going on, a lot of pressure, but above all else, very impolite, to say the least.
Indeed, it is.
And, you know, this is an example.
We can put up this first clip of what she said.
She is an instructor, Alejandra Caraballo, instructor at Harvard Law School.
As you said before the show, she may have a college degree.
Yeah, she does, probably.
And as you say, here's what she said: the six justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again, which is frightening when you think about the fact that one of those justices, Justice Kavanaugh, literally had an armed man arrested near his house with the intention to do him harm.
Yet Caraballo was able to tweet this with impunity after that.
And the second part of what she said, you can leave it up actually, is interesting, thanks.
And the second part, though, it's easy to go backwards, if you will.
It's easy to think about that first part, Dr. Paul, and think, wow, that's pretty bad.
But she also said, it is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public.
And if you look at a cost up in the dictionary, to approach and address someone boldly or aggressively.
So she is essentially calling for aggression against the members of the Supreme Court who ruled in a way that she does not like.
And that is, I think, a very dangerous thing.
Ironically, I would categorize this as a threat.
I think it's pretty openly a threat.
Twitter doesn't seem to think so.
This tweet remains.
In fact, I just saw this tweet this morning.
It's still up.
There's impunity for people who say this.
And here's Alejandra.
Let's have a look at her again.
This is from her Twitter profile.
Here she is, Alejandra.
And let's go ahead and look at her Twitter profile, the next picture.
And you'll see that she is a clinical instructor at Harvard law.
She has her pronouns listed, which is very helpful to know.
And she's threatening the Supreme Court.
And that's just fine with Twitter and everyone else.
Right.
And the bizarre thing is, think how many parents gather their funds together to make sure that they get their children a good education and have the reputation of Harvard.
You know, as long as Harvard still maintains a good reputation, some days it is challenged.
But they have this reputation, and parents will sacrifice just to get that label on there.
And just think how much harm's done.
And that's who's going to do the propaganda.
It's nothing but a political operation there.
You know, this is the same deal that they were doing with Trump.
Look at the energy they've put into convicting Trump of insurrection.
You know, they're still working on that.
How many innocent people along the way have suffered with all this pretense, this show trial that's going on?
I mean, it's, you know, if there's been some misdemeanors or something like that, nobody's having a qualm with that.
But to do this and round up how many, 600, 800 people they've been locked up and held without bond and never saw a judge.
And they call that justice?
And now they're coming along and they're sort out the justice here on the Supreme Court justice.
But it goes along with the quotes that have been in the media that some of these people who are so aggressive, they really despise the Constitution because it restrains them.
They're authoritarians.
And the Constitution's effort was to, you know, eliminate the power of an authoritarian, not allow them to be.
But, you know, one thing Adam said, he says, you can have your Republican if you have the morality with the people that you will oppose it.
So they're not being opposed enough.
We're too complacent.
We let it happen.
But people don't feel emboldened to do it.
But of course, we pointed out that some of them have gotten to be a little bit more emboldened when they look at the frustration they've had how the schools were mistreating their children over COVID and the violations there.
But this whole issue of justice, I think, is a big deal.
And if you can't depend on the justice system, whether it's DOJ or FBI or CIA or congressional hearings, you know, there's not much left to a society that should operate orderly.
Well, authoritarians like this Harvard instructor absolutely refuse to lose.
And if a decision like the Roe overturning goes against them, they by definition view it as something that's tainted by corruption.
It's wrong.
They will not lose.
So they see everything as a ratchet.
It continues this progression toward their victory.
It never ratchets back.
It continues to ratchet in tactical ways until they have their strategic victory.
So if there is the appearance of a ratcheting back, then they go ballistic, like you see here.
But you know, our good friend Jonathan Turley, who always is very careful, he takes a very cautious road, but he is a real lover of the Constitution.
Here's his take on it.
Let's put this next one up because he really captures what normal people should think about this.
He says, as more on the left call for aggressive protests and public confrontations, this harassment is more and more likely to turn violent.
There are many unbalanced individuals who see such calls as a license for violent action.
And that is incitement right is itself a problem.
If I say, you know, hey, go shoot this guy, go shoot this guy, and he does that.
I mean, you share some of the guilt.
This is precisely what Caraballo is doing with impunity.
You know, I see the biggest obstacles for the people trying to seek the truth and justice is that the opposition are very shrewd and very aggressive, which you just described.
And that what they do is they take the issue and they flip it.
Of course, they're guilty of so many crimes.
At the same time, they turn around and who are the enemies.
They blame the enemies for doing exactly the same thing.
And so what if it's a lie?
They can't go very far.
Oh, yeah, but it's a lie that's carried by the media, and that includes the mainstream media as well as the social media.
And you can pound this propaganda into it.
You can spend years trying to sort it out.
I think some of it's been sorted out.
Fortunately, they have revealed it.
But like you say, they don't give up.
They keep marching on.
They'll figure another, they'll go on to the next episode, you know, the next war or whatever they need.
Yeah.
Well, today is a pretty bad day all around when it comes to the news, I guess.
And the next one, I think, is pretty bad.
Now, we obviously criticize U.S. foreign policy, but that doesn't extend to individual members of the military who, by and large, I think people go in for honest reasons.
Well, today, 60,000 Army soldiers in the U.S. Army are going to find themselves cut off from their pay, from their benefits, from their insurance, from everything.
And you say, well, what did they do?
Did they sign up to fight in favor of Russia or something?
No, they didn't.
In fact, today is a deadline.
Let's put up that next clip from the Daily Caller.
Army boots 60,000 unvaccinated soldiers amid recruiting crisis.
So they can't find anyone to fight in the Army.
The 60,000 who've said, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and pass on that shot because A, as the CDC says, it doesn't prevent against infection and it doesn't prevent against transmission, so it's not a vaccine.
I'll pass.
Thank you very much.
The U.S. military says, you're out.
60,000 today.
You know, I've always complained about sending young people off to these many, many wars in the last quite a few decades.
And they go, the war has not been declared.
It's unconstitutional.
And they're supposed to go over there to defend the Constitution and defend our liberties.
But here, these individuals that are in the military, they want to use their liberty, freedom of choice.
And do they lose all their liberties once they're in the military?
So they can't even use what they're expected to go out and be exposed, possibly to their own lives being exposed because they're in the military, and that's what they're supposed to do.
So it is a rotten system.
And it's so bold.
But I just can't understand why there's not more resistance, even though we do cite the times when people do put their foot down.
It's not enough is enough.
And we're also thinking that maybe at least that statement will be heard during this next six months or so, you know, when people are getting to express themselves in voting.
Not that we think that's the all to end all, but it might be a message, just as the message was the way that the parents have resisted the lockdown.
But this is sort of a lockdown.
Lock out.
You know, do what we tell you.
And everybody knows that a military does sign up to do that.
But when it comes to personal habits and personal health, it's sort of like, well, you know what?
We have just proven that if you eat any meat, you're going to get sick and you can't eat any more meat, but you can eat the fake meat because they need to make more money.
They're in trouble.
So they pass a law so they could pretend anything they want when they say they're doing it in the interest of the military.
And you've already made the point that it's not like it's without a danger.
Matter of fact, every day I read more stories about long-term and the statistics coming out and truth will out in the end, but right now it's slow coming.
Well, you know, the neocons and the think tankers and all the elites, they love to say, support the troops, you've got to support the troops.
Supporting the Troops00:08:38
Well, I hope that more of America will look at this event, what's happening, and understand these people hate the troops.
They don't support the troops.
The people who support the troops are people like candidate Ron Paul, who the troops flocked to with their donations and with their interest, etc., etc.
The people who want to keep us out of stupid wars are the people who support the troops.
These people hate the troops.
They've taken these 60,000 American soldiers and deprived them of their livelihoods because they won't take a shot that is not, according to the terms of what a vaccine is, unless we're going to change the dictionary, is not.
It's just hard to believe, Dr. Paul, that we're having this discussion this day and age.
I mean, if it were a year and a half ago, they would have a little bit of the upper hand.
But thanks to a lot of brave people, we talked about Alex Berenson and others who have come out and said the truth about these shots, it's just hard to imagine that we're having this battle today.
And once again, you have to look at it, or at least I force myself to look at it from their viewpoint, if their viewpoint is very sinister and they have ultimate goals.
Maybe, you know, we don't like the illicit use of our military and all these unnecessary wars, but There might be a slew of them that see that a good military is a counteraction to the really bad guys.
But isn't it something that these are probably the best soldiers they have?
They're the ones who believed in personal choices and made good conversations.
Good Americans.
So maybe they, oh, well, they're our enemy.
You know, we have to get rid of them.
And also, just as the chaos that has been developed in the streets, you say everything that the police are doing and the politicians are doing, the governors of states like California, what they're doing, it just makes everything so much worse.
Well, this is likely to make things worse, especially while they still have a foreign policy where they're exposing these young people, you know, into combat.
So it's a bad situation.
Of course, we have a lot of confidence that if you had a non-interventionist foreign policy and you followed the Constitution and only getting involved when the people are behind it, you know, with declarations, we could have saved millions of lives in the last 50 years.
Yeah, and our position, of course, has always been if you want to take the shot, take the shot.
But these guys shouldn't be forced to do it.
And the real irony here, as we started out this segment on, is that while they are having a devil of a time getting anyone to sign up, and of course they're having big, my friend Chuck Spinney sent something around this morning.
They're giving big sign-on bonuses to people.
20 grand.
I almost started to sign up.
Then I realized I'm too old.
But they're having a hard time getting people to sign up.
And here they kick people out.
And actually, let's put this from military.com.
Here's the next, and we talked about this, I think, last week.
Go one forward if you can.
There we go.
Military.com.
The Army and its sister services have scrambled this year, offering increasingly generous benefits and policy tweaks in an effort to improve recruiting numbers.
The Army has hit only 40% of its recruiting goals this year.
And later in this article, or I think another one on military.com, they've dropped the requirement that you have even a high school diploma or even a GED.
And they've lowered the minimum ASVAB scores to way, way, way below minimum.
So you're really kind of, I hate to say it, you're trying to drag the bottom of the barrel to get some warm bodies.
And as you say, when you've got these 60,000, you're probably among the best informed and most intelligent and most patriotic Americans, you're gone.
You know, with this money that they can bribe them with, and that occurred a lot in the Mid Eastern wars when young women went in and they were women with children that needed it for the money and they went in.
So to me, it's sort of a type of a malinvestment.
You know, it's not really a good investment in the defense of this country.
And this is, you know, when they have to bribe these people, at one time they kick them out for being a decent person.
Then they have to take some money and bribe somebody to come in and replace them.
And, of course, but you will be obedient.
If we tell you what your diet's going to be, you're going to follow it and that sort of thing.
So that's a pity.
Well, our next segment should be called the Only in Washington segment.
And in fact, if we, I got it out of order.
If we can skip ahead to that picture of Newsom for the next one, then we're going to have to unfortunately skip backward.
Here we go.
Gavin Newsome, California governor.
California ranks 50th in literacy, literally the bottom of all the U.S. states.
And what happens, Dr. Paul?
The worst education governor in the country goes to Washington for an education award, only in D.C.
But it's not just a puny little award.
It's a national ward, you know, and the organization that sort of runs our educational system because you can't do much without guidance and how to run these programs.
Because if you come up short on teach a CRT, you can be in trouble and you won't get your money.
You know, this sort of thing.
But this organization that I had not heard much about that gets involved in this, Education Commission of the States.
So it is a national organization.
And now they're getting all this grand publicity.
Please, people, wake up.
Wake up.
It's your money.
And we're going broke.
And we don't need all this activity.
We don't need this school system.
You know, there's a lot more, and there's still a strong interest in homeschooling.
And I've been doing more interviews about homeschooling.
But this couldn't happen in homeschooling because if somebody really leaks off, first thing is, if it was just a matter of different opinion, you know, under the rules, you can teach as long as you're not promoting violence.
You're not participating in a violent program.
But this thing is a mockery of looking for the truth, you know, to do this and giving him an award.
And I mean, what I read about him, here he is.
He came under pretty strong attack by the people in California.
I was trying to get rid of him.
It wasn't like he won overwhelmingly.
And, you know, if there hadn't been some flukes in there and all the opposition was put together, he was in bad shape.
But that didn't happen.
But when he comes across on TV, he comes across, unfortunately, very confident.
Very slick, yeah.
Very confident.
And he has money and made a lot of money.
Probably the part of the free market, he got some money.
But he also doesn't have to worry about his kids' education.
You know, I don't know how many three or four kids, and they are getting a good education.
Not under this system, not under his system.
He has them in a very private school that is actually, and they exclude this type of malaria that they teach.
And this has been my big beef: the educational system has rotted away, government education.
And it's all the way now, it's kindergarten all the way up through all the colleges and graduate work, and the whole works is so polluted.
So, you know, a good old-fashioned bankruptcy where the government has to get out of education.
It really is an education.
It's indoctrination.
It's promoting a political philosophy that's ruining us, an economic philosophy that's ruining a study of history is totally confusing and misleading.
But right now, it's still in place, but I think it's starting to crack.
Yeah, and if we can go back, and this is just kind of the tail of the tape here, we've already gone over it, but this is a tweet by someone who goes by Alex Luther, and he points out the stats.
California had the worst, longest school closures.
50% of students don't meet state English standards.
Only 40% are proficient in math.
We're 50th out of 50 on literacy.
Great Scholar Opportunities00:04:41
Yet Gavin Newsom flies to Washington to get an award for, quote, transformative improvements to education.
That probably means they can't read, but they've memorized all 8,000 genders, right?
Right.
That's for sure.
Well, I'm going to close out.
Again, if we can do that next one to remind our young people out there or those that know young people out there to apply today to be a 2022 Ron Paul Scholar.
Scholar Day is the day before, the day before the Ron Paul Institute conference in Washington, D.C. on September 3rd.
Scholars will have a one-day boot camp.
And in fact, Dr. Paul, I'll make an announcement here.
And I'm super thrilled about this.
Our great friend Jacob Hornberger has agreed to open the Ron Paul Scholars Day with a lecture on Non-Intervention 101.
And that's going to be a great start.
There are other great instructors that are going to be there.
Non-intervention 101 from Jacob Hornberger, it doesn't get any better than this.
So go to ronpaulinstitute.org.
I'll put a link there and apply today.
We've got some great applications.
The competition is going to be really tough this year.
But I also want to do the last one again because I'm slacked off a little bit in my P.T. Barnum Act, and that is to get your tickets for the conference.
If we can put that last clip up.
Anatomy of a Police State, September 3rd, 2022, in the Washington Dulles area at the Weston Washington Dulles Airport.
Great lineup of speakers.
We talked about Jeff Dice.
We'll announce a couple of other ones coming up.
I'm going to send out an update with some other speakers.
It's going to be a great, great conference, great opportunity to meet people.
And I know that we both look forward to it.
So get your tickets today, early bird rate through the month of July, cheaper than last year.
We're fighting the Putin price hike by giving you cheaper tickets.
So get yours today.
Very good.
And I can only say that these conferences that we have, in some ways we're a little bit selfish on this because we like to do them.
We're glad to meet the individuals.
So many of the people who come to the conferences do watch the Liberty Report.
And we learn from them.
I think that's the most important thing I learned in politics is once you have a chance, I tried to learn the lesson a long time ago that badgering doesn't help.
No matter how strong you feel about something, it doesn't help.
But what I have learned is follow up on some curiosity and ask questions.
So if when I meet people out at our conferences, a lot of times I like to know more about how they came to thinking along these lines.
And sometimes staff will get me and say, you have a lot of people who shake hands.
You better keep moving along.
But I want to know, especially when they commit in there, they seem rather young.
I say, how'd you get started in it?
And there's always fascinating stories about this.
So that is one reason why I like to go there because there's a benefit.
And it helps us understand where you're coming from, the people that are interested in the program, because everybody has a different approach.
And so often I've been asked over the years, so what should I do?
I agree with you, Ron.
I want to do something.
Tell me what I should do.
And, you know, my answer is just do whatever you want, but just do something.
And of course, the preliminary activity for that is to do your best, as I continue to do, is to understand the issue of liberty and understand the better ways of expressing it.
Because I think if just being right and pushing it isn't enough, there has to be a way that liberty seems like it's a great benefit to one.
That's why it's so easy for so many people to accept the welfare state because they believe government's going to help them.
But then there's a lot of thing that if you have the powerful lobbyists when government gets too big and they see the opening that they're going to benefit, you know, if they have influence, you end up with a mess and you end up with a bankruptcy.
You end up with a destruction of money.
Those things which are they're coming to an end and right now, as we move along, we'll talk about the things that are, you know, in bad shape.
But we also have to talk about what would we do?
How would we handle this?
How would we handle the borders?
Yeah, I think it's a really interesting question for libertarians to answer, because it's a big deal on what to do and and i've worked hard on trying to get a good answer for that.
