Federal Protection of “Oath Keepers” Kingpin Stewart Rhodes Breaks The Entire Capitol “Insurrection” Lie Wide Open [More]
I'm digesting this. I see a lot of speculation but no indisputable proof of allegations that he is protected because of a relationship with the feds. It could also be no indictment has been forthcoming because those who would like to bring one know they don't have enough to secure a conviction.
I'm probably going to stay out of this since I once wrote for Oath Keepers and considered Stewart a personal friend. I've never discussed why that's no longer the case and don't intend to.
I hope this is smoke with no fire and I will not add to it. I almost didn't post this because of that. It just makes no sense though. Say what you will about the man, and plenty with grievances have, I cannot believe he would ever not put his oath first.

I see one writer on AmmoLand who disagrees with me is recommending NRA devote resources to translate its stuff into Spanish. I'm actually not against that idea and note Bloomberg is doing it.
My argument is that even if they do, it will be a drop in the bucket compared to other media inputs the foreign nationals receive on political issues. They'll be bringing a squirt gun to a blazing inferno.
And what do they do if, say, Univision rejects their ad spots while its "news reports" continue to editorialize and its programming continues to condition for disarmament? That and don't expect the "fact-checker" cancel forces out there to give social media messaging a fair shake.
And don't forget all the other imported foreign cultures with alien attitudes that will need convincing.
By all means, try, just don't hang your hat on that and say it's settled without first coming up with an informed estimate on how much money would have to be spent and credible data to show probable percentage points the opinion needle would be moved by that.
My guess is if NRA spent its entire budget "we" would still lose in those demographics by a landslide. Putting a bandaid on a cancer patient and ignoring the real treatments needed means the prognosis will be terminal.
