The Trump supporter pulled a gun on them, and he was arrested by police, who had done nothing to prevent Antifa from attacking him. Over the weekend, a Trump supporter was maced by Antifa protestors, who also threw rocks at his truck. Meanwhile, law enforcement shifts from targeting criminals to innocents.DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's tone-deaf response to wave of carjackings in her city, including last week's fatal one. Official declarations of racism as a " public health crisis" like those that followed the Black Lives Matter riots, provide pretexts for radical redesigns of society that invariably empower the managers who oversee top-down change. The regime, Francis writes, "exploits that problem as an instrument by which it continues to enhance its power, though neither the fake problem it exploits nor the real problem that exists is affected." The question, then, is why? Under anarcho-tyranny in all its forms, an issue is presented to the public not merely as a problem but as a crisis that necessitates the regime to assume extraordinary powers in response. Parents exercising their First Amendment rights are apparently a greater threat to federal law enforcement than militant anarchists at this point. Meanwhile, whistleblowers revealed the FBI's Counterterrorism Division created a " threat tag" to monitor investigations into parents who attended school board meetings to oppose vaccine and mask mandates.

US President Joe Biden (L) alongside his son Hunter Biden exit Holy Spirit Catholic Church after attending mass in Johns Island, South Carolina on August 13, 2022. There is something to be said about Mar-a-Lago being raided under the pretext of a Presidential Records Act violation by the same FBI that kneeled in solidarity with Black Lives Matter near the National Archives as flames engulfed Washington.

Although they proved the most destructive and costliest violent demonstrations in recent American history, an analysis by The Guardian found that the "vast majority of citations and charges against George Floyd protesters were ultimately dropped, dismissed or otherwise not filed." Today's anarcho-tyranny expresses itself in the Biden administration's penchant for selectively enforcing law and order: punishing people for the same or similar offenses differently based on their relationship to the powers that be.Īmericans became intimately familiar with the concept in its strict sense after the death of George Floyd triggered the Black Lives Matter riots. Francis coined " anarcho-tyranny" in a 1994 column for Chronicles magazine, referring to "essentially a kind of Hegelian synthesis of what appear to be dialectical opposites: the combination of oppressive government power against the innocent and the law-abiding and, simultaneously, a grotesque paralysis of the ability or the will to use that power to carry out basic public duties such as protection or public safety." It's an apt description for what's happening in the U.S. This discrepancy in the application of the law is an example of what political theorist Samuel T. "No one is above the law," Trump's critics say-except, of course, those who are. We now know that Biden père has played a role in several of his son's shady business dealings. It escaped the notice of few that two days after the raid, Hunter Biden skipped aboard Air Force One with his father for a flight to a family vacation on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, considered the " Hamptons of the South." The President's son remains unmolested by federal law enforcement, although he is currently under federal investigation for tax fraud, money laundering, and unregistered lobbying. To many observers, it reeks of a fishing expedition, which, as Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias said, will likely force Trump to litigate this sorry affair while campaigining in 2024. The warrant, signed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, demanded the seizure of virtually any document created during his four years in office.

Last week, federal agents launched an unprecedented raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
