June, 2020 and Bill Barr

Amnesia, lobotomies, too many WORSE distractions? Don't choke on the flea after you've swallowed the camel? Bill Barr, then the Attorney General of the United States under Donald j. trump, amassed a private army of anonymous armed men in our nation's Capitol supposedly in defense of law and order and the American way. The armed men festooned in military riot gear were not identified in any way, either by name, organization, or authority. Nobody seemed to notice it then (well, you would have if you had wanted to protest the official government response to a protest) and nobody has said anything about it since. See: https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-8388143/Bill-Barr-deploys-army-federal-correctional-officers.html Now, the Washington Post is praising Barr with no mention of the reality of what he has done, in his long career as apologist for everything right-wing Republican (AKA borderline Nazi). We live in the 1984 land of “new speech”, the President's new clothes, and the Dictator’s flunky “news media” reconstructing the past, the present, and our future.
