<\/a><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/x.com\/Jules31415\/status\/1818308796315312174<\/a><\/p>\n This is so stupid an excuse that it literally creates the space need for its own refutation by damned near anything.\u00a0 So let’s back up and look at the most pleasant possible explanation.<\/p>\n RONALD ROWE is the acting director of the US Secret Service (USSS).\u00a0 I will assume (oooh, careful with those assumptions!) that he is a good man with a distinguished record of brave and faithful, intelligent and mission-oriented service.\u00a0 His execrable DEI-focused (her claim, not mine) boss Kim Cheatle has just been canned, having stonewalled Congress with transparently false answers when not simply refusing to answer.\u00a0 Now Rowe must limp up and carry on.\u00a0 I get it — he is set up to fail unless some deus ex machina (“Iran did it!”) swoops across the stage.<\/p>\n Yet an actual good man of service and fidelity already knows not to offer such a limp-wristed confession.\u00a0 The therapeutic yet non-specific excuse, “a failure to imagine that we live in a world where people actually want to harm our protectees,” is breathtakingly dishonest.\u00a0 This can be demonstrated by imagining the consequences of such a “failure.”\u00a0 It would require that everybody involved is simply milling about for a paycheck, not considering for once (failure to even “imagine,” after all) that the motto, the mission, the reams of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), the statutory justification and the obvious day-to-day operation of the entire organization are just ONE BIG LIE, a profitable hoax carried out aghainst the American taxpayer.<\/p>\n “We do this job not because it needs to be done — after all, we literally fail to imagine an actual need for us to do it — no, we do this job because there’s a fat retirement and a lot of perks along the way.\u00a0 That’s right, we are all just rent-seeking thieves with badges and guns.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That is the necessary state of affairs if everybody involved simply “failed to imagine” that their service is actually justified by the threat.\u00a0 The whole excuse is transparently a lie.<\/p>\n But it is a lie which sounds appealing to the leftist, conflict-resolution-styled nanny state.\u00a0 This is that weak Cream of Reason baby formula which thinking adults reject.\u00a0 This “failure to imagine” garbage is the sort of line that appears in the denouement to a poorly-written episode of some God-awful weekly network television show.\u00a0 It’s the treacly beat labelled “and a valuable lesson was learned by all.”<\/p>\n He says that they assume the state and local law enforcement is set up and so forth, but *checking that* is exactly the function of the advance team, just as protecting the “protectees” from those who would do them harm is exactly the function of the USSS itself.<\/p>\n An actual good man of service and fidelity placed into Rowe’s position has a decision to make when his new-found staff comes up with this focus-group-tuned whopper.\u00a0 Good men with years of faithful service know better than to be led out in front of a media\/Congressional firing squad with only stupidity and excuses for armor.\u00a0 I have worked in some interesting places, and the only people who would even dare a line such as “failure to imagine” work in the Public Affairs shop — think John Kirby.\u00a0 Actual principals, leaders who will *themselves* be held accountable for leadership decisions are held to a higher standard, and every one of them knows it.\u00a0 Which is why this stupid line is so obviously just more stonewalling.<\/p>\n Director Cheatle ran her mouth spewing truly retarded lies until Mayorkas got her to finally shut up.\u00a0 I firmly suspect that she was directed to go in front of Congress, say nothing, take the hit, and eventually accept a nice cushy big money job doing nothing on down the road, like University work or something equally without value or accountability.<\/p>\n Acting Director Rowe has come in with the benefit of a week ro two more prep, and now certainly seems to have said nothing and will take a hit.\u00a0 So much for the most pleasant interpretation of acting Director Rowe’s words. Why are these directors lining up to take hits?\u00a0 What is the actual thing that is *not* being said?<\/p>\n CALL THE BLUFF.\u00a0 If we take him at face value, then the best use of the taxpayer dollar will be to prosecute every single person involved for derelictionm, fraud, something along those lines, whether currently or only historically, critically or only trivially, top to bottom.\u00a0 It doesn’t take much prosecution to get most people to squeak.\u00a0 Americans have learned to live in fear of arbitrary prosecution by a runaway government which abuses us to enrich itself and which dispossesses us to accomodate a sponsored invasion.\u00a0 Now this government when explicitly charged with protection will neither protect disfavored government figures nor answer any puny taxpayer questions.<\/p>\n Let the government feel the wrath, one innocent and faithful minor functionary at a time.\u00a0 Too bad.<\/em>\u00a0 Eventually, we will find someone who will tell the truth.<\/p>\n Here’s the key quote captured in a tweeted clip of video:<\/p>\n https:\/\/x.com\/Jules31415\/status\/1818308796315312174<\/a><\/p>\n This is so stupid an excuse that it literally creates the space need for its own refutation by damned near anything.\u00a0 So let’s back up and look at the most pleasant possible explanation.<\/p>\n RONALD ROWE is the acting director of the US Secret Service (USSS).\u00a0 I will assume (oooh, careful with those assumptions!) that he is a good man with a distinguished record of brave and faithful, intelligent and mission-oriented service.\u00a0 His execrable DEI-focused (her claim, not mine) boss Kim Cheatle has just been canned, having stonewalled … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n
