As we all know by now, a young man by the name of Paul Ciancia shot a TSA agent in Los Angeles, by the name of
Gerardo Hernandez a couple of days ago. While the media
misreported quite a few of the key elements of the incident early on; undoubtedly the sad result of trying to be first in regurgitating certain angles of the story; the actual evidence available to the media, the innocent bystander, and to law enforcement has been straightforward enough to correct almost all of this misinformation and tell a more realistic story of what happened. That said, the actual evidence has also been straightforward enough to establish inarguable probable cause to detain and charge Ciancia with all of the crime associated with his actions. So; why is the FBI even bothering to subpoena Ciancia's
cell phone, in search of personal searches, personal messages to others, and personal friends and associations......all to examine his view of government? Why are Ciancia's feelings about America's government so important, when there is already enough evidence to convict him on any charge decided upon before trial?
Paul Ciancia's opinions of government may be useful in establishing a motive for murder and attempted murder. There is no doubt about that. Because of statements he has already made, even a motive for premeditation can easily be established. Unfortunately for Ciancia's defense, there is already enough evidence to lock him up, either in prison or a funnyfarm, for a large chunk of his future. Why bother with personal reflections and other data leading to personal preferences? Can anyone guess what will follow such antics on the part of federal prosecutors?
When all of Ciancia's possible opinions, sleeping and waking dreams, likes and dislikes, subconscious leanings, personality type, romantic preferences, and flatulence directions are established, it will very likely be postulated that anyone who disapproves of government, particularly law enforcement, will be associated with shooters of TSA agents, and also random murderers, and duly demonized. We've seen this type of thing before; can anyone remember a story from Maryland that rocked the nation back in the early 1990's? A young man named Donald Wingo was falsely accused of
vandalizing the Yeshiva Of Greater Washington. The Montgomery County Police, of Maryland, were quite liberal in making accusations and rooting through Wingo's home because of a prior criminal record. If this blogger recalls events correctly, they did not even wait for the full investigation of the crime scene! While ripping through Wingo's personal possessions, a deck of Tarot cards was discovered, and the judicial community, in concert with the media, used the deck of Tarot cards as a fulcrum from which to demonize the entire New Age and Pagan community in that area. Eventually, it became abundantly clear to the court that Tarot cards and vandalism have nothing, whatsoever, to do with each other, and that Wingo's criminal record, while heinous, also had nothing to do with this crime. The real culprit, who acted alone, was located and arrested without incident or news coverage. The local and national media took no steps toward publishing the truth, and if any apologies to Wingo's parents for the ransacking of their home were issued by law enforcement, yours truly has yet to hear of it. Note: before anyone protests the sequence of events laid forth in the last few sentences, yours truly does have some information that was ignored by the media and by the court. The effort here was to associate hate crimes with creativity. Law enforcement had not been recognized as recklessly lawless at that time.
More recently, the ongoing effort to lull the masses into thinking that law enforcement consists of only "the good guys" is waning. From the prosecutions and harassment of activists to the actual threats to whistle-blowers such as Edward Snowden, whose only "crime" was breaching a contract with an employer to let the rest of us know that our taxes are paying the folks in NSA to spy on their spouses and lovers.......and occasionally, suspected "terrorists", law enforcement and the rest of the judicial community have engaged in violence against innocent people, and in threats to scare anyone who is considering the act of sharing strange but true information about the United States government. In the early 1990's, when the above mentioned case in Maryland, involving Donald Wingo and his Tarot cards took place, there really wasn't a presence among defense lawyers specializing in the representation of whistle-blowers, but now there is. A website with more information is right here:

There are two reasons that the FBI wants information concerning Paul Ciancia's opinion of government. The first is damage control; let's face it, many of us are not happy with American government lately, for one reason or another. The second is to take it a step beyond damage control and inform the American people, especially children who are still impressionable, that anyone who does not like the government, or authority, is likely to either be, or become, a murderer. Big Brother wants everyone to believe that conformity is next to godliness. What a farce; even the mythical Jesus Christ was an antigovernment nonconformist! So far, there is nothing on record about him killing anyone. While there is not a reason to defend the murder of a TSA agent, there is also not a reason to associate the actions of one troubled young man with anyone who is not in favor of present day American government.
There is one reason that the FBI has gotten a subpoena for the information from Ciancia's cell phone and other electronic media. Ciancia's legal counsel has most certainly told him to stop talking by now.
Moron who does not like activists and non-conformists.
