The most important outcome of the atrocity so far has been to illustrate once again how near to the surface is the lust amongst the leaders of the American Left for totalitarian repression. As Peter Brimelow has remarked, once one of these events gives them a shred of plausible justification, we are all going to get shut down. In the meantime, their servants in the MSM continue to try to use the event to intimidate cowardly Republicans out of arguing their political cases effectively. Much more productive than letting the House Republicans keep the initiative.
One thing that has faded, however, is the smear on American Renaissance, no doubt because of its extreme absurdity.Our favorite expert on the Law enforcement bureaucracy, the Federale blog, has produced an incisive analysis on how this near-lynching came to be set in motion:
Many are suggesting that the whole memorandum obtained by Fox is a fabrication, but I think that the originating memorandum is real. Real despite the glowing factual errors that many have pointed out…
Rather than a memorandum or formal intelligence bulletin…this is more likely an email alert going out from what Jared Taylor of American Renaissance identified as the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center, AcTIC, one of the hundreds of fusion centers…funded by DHS and run under FBI auspices and direction.
