Just had a thought:  One component of conducting a coup, via a weaponized and partisan bureaucracy, is to hide the actions against one party by overclassification of things that would tend to reveal those actions — or that would tend to make more difficult defending even obvious actions.  It’s not as though we don’t know what’s going on, but it is difficult to prove anything.  A counterpart to the dodge “Well, that’s something that’s under active investigation, so we can not make any statement,” is the time-tested “That’s classified.”

These people are evil, not stupid, and so they will have a rationale for this overclassification, and that is provided by defining topics that can be tied to the target party as national security threats.  The current Marxist environment pits races, classes, sexes, and religions against each other, and it does this by defining everybody whom the left wishes to recruit in contrast to a numerous and all-powerful enemy other — the white man.  The white man is also a symbol (of however tenuous a connection) of prosperity and Christianity, two natural enemies of Marxism.  And so the mysterious and impossible-to-find specter of “white supremacism” is amazingly touted as the government’s top national security concern.

Why did the government find it necessary (or even useful) to issue warnings about “the potential for incel violence” with the release of the movie The Joker?  At the time, I found it ludicrous and misguided.  Now I view it as a mechanism for further weaponizing maleness in a way that provided cover for classifying activities of organizations such as the FBI.  With “male incels” designated some sort of threat, the FBI has cover to infiltrate lonely-hearts chat rooms and loser YouTube channel followings, and they don’t have to say anything about it.  Think “FISA courts,” but look at your suburb.  This takes Christina Hoff Summers’ book The War on Boys to the level of a literal war.  If I’m right, mere maleness can justify the FBI surveilling and suppressing you.

So there the Marxist plotters have their “moral” justification to label as “white supremacism” anything male, white, Christian, straight, economically functional (as opposed to dependent), and anything associated with conservatism, to include motherhood (just Handmaid’s Tale slaves of the patriarchy), patriotism (jingoist colonizers!), and perhaps even apple pie.  Apple pie is for Nazis.  This in turn provides their “legal” justification to classify anything related to the schtrugggle against white supremacism, to include pervasive surveillance, suppression, enticement and entrapment (Who is Ray Epps?), investigation, prosecution, group-busting, and even violence.

At any level of classification, nothing can be shared with the press, watchdog groups, or even with Congress outside of closed, classified briefings.  And even if briefed, Congresscritters can not reveal this material without gaining declassification/disclosure.  And above a certain level of classification, the care and communication of information increasingly becomes the purview of the Intelligence Community (IC), which I have my own theory about — presented here as a sort of appendix to the main thrust of this post:

I suspect that the IC now exists in an enclave separate from the law, with a loyalty severed by regulation from the Constitution.  I’m not saying that such severance is valid, but I do suspect it exists.  I suspect that promising IC hard-chargers are indoctrinated in the need to keep some things secret, no matter what the nosy taxpaying plebes might think.  What would they know?  They don’t even have clearances.

I further suspect that there exists a sufficiently powerful bloc that agrees IC matters are subject to special laws (probably regulations “with the force of law”), which critically are not subject to disclosure, because knowledge of the very existence of this entire category of law would tend to cause “exceptionally grave damage” to the security of the United States.  That makes all kinds of sense if and only if your vision of a secure US requires a powerful and secretive police state to protect the citizenry from the raw and untrained power of actual representative government.  If you believe in the necessity of a police state, then the logic is unassailable, and the matter is closed.

Why is everything white supremacy these days?  Because that accusation allows our increasingly dictatorial government to oppose not whiteness, not supremacy, and not even the combination — but it allows that government to stamp out the party which might someday take steps to limit the power of government.
