My god, Jack. While I was reading this, my first thought was whoever the ppl are doing the threats, they are acting like sleeper cells just waiting to ‘get the word’. Home grown terrorists. And here we are.
I look forward to the deep dive later. Thanks for all you do (and your service).
That "sleeper cell" observation isn't hyperbole...it's operational reality.
The infrastructure is ALREADY in place. Phone lines. Tip lines. Anonymous reporting systems. All it takes...is ONE person with the Pope's brother's address....and ten minutes.
No coordination required. No conspiracy needed. Just signal...and response.
The scariest part? This was a proof-of-concept run. Someone just demonstrated the ENTIRE system....works PERFECTLY.
And...every potential target in America was watching.
Stay sharp. The deep dive coming out in a bit is going to name some names.
We remember when threats were made against Dr Anthony Fauci during COVID. Olivia Troye, now running for Congress in Virginia, also received threats after she left the White House where she worked for Mike Pence. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney…Bomb threats at polling places on Election Day 2024 may have caused Colin Allred a Senate seat. Much more…
I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. The threat level against federal employees has been exceptionally high for the last 10+ years. It ranges from name-calling, to filing false liens against any property owned by the target, to veiled threats against their loved ones. Most people don't do things like this, though.
Trump and the GOP in general are losing the Catholic support they’ve depended on. This won’t help. I can only guess that Trump and MAGA believes this will silence the Pope. I don’t believe it will but it’s dangerous for anyone who speaks out against him and I suppose that is the real point. I’m sure the paid piece will spell it out.
This is the act of someone backed into a corner and lashing out in every direction. The amount of damage in just this term in almost unbelievable if it weren't for the fact we were warned in advance with Project 2025. There were attorneys and others that actually read and digested it for those of us that follow them on substack and they said this was not going to be easy. Of course when we saw who became the rest of the regime we knew things were going to get ugly. The courts have worked to hold him back but then the unsupreme court gave him immunity for things that never should have happened. Look forward to the subscriber follow up.
If individuals and/or institutions and/or universities and/or media companies and/or professional firms speak the truth and that truth highlights flaws (to put it mildly) of 47, there will be negative ramifications to the one(s) who shared truth.
There is no decency within this Administration nor with its supporters. Zero, nada
According to an article entitled ‘Greene says Trump told her if her ‘son were to get killed,’ it would be her fault’, in The Hill, April 16, by Sophie Brams, Marjorie Taylor Greene received hundreds of threats and then the threats expanded to include her son(s).
I wish that I could say that I am shocked. Sadly this is the story of the Trump influence. Trump spits out his"fucking truths" and then some asshole does the dirty work. I am beyond disgusted by this. Ironically no one could even say Baron's name during his first term. No one else's family is scared though. The message they sent was loud and clear, frightening.
Not the first time. The Judge whose son was killed when she was targeted, but that was without a flag being waved explicitly by trump. But it did prove he had those ready to do his bidding.
Holy Fucking Shit.. this shitshow just leveled up..
Morgan...your comment is as direct as this incident demands.

"Nice little family you've got there..." sounds so familiar.
Lori Smith....VERY.
-Jack
The people in this administration think they're a bunch of guidos. It's so sickening.
Chris...you're right. And, it's absolutely sickening.

This is frightening in any case.
Thanks, Jack.

I've also heard that Republican members of Congress are afraid of death threats to their families if they don't toe the party line.

No one had to "make a call". Stochastic terrorism is real, and predictably unpredictable.

Wow. Can't wait for the subscriber follow up to this.
