Capitol Questions
January 13, 2021

Second City Cop (SCC) has shut down its long-running blog. This is why: "Statement from Second City Cop" via Chicago Contrarian.

On Monday, January 11, 2021, its last day, SCC posted this brilliant commentary. I include a couple of comments of my own in [brackets].

Ask Yourself Why.... (UPDATE)


Why aren't you seeing damage estimates from the events in DC?
  • could it be because they are so minuscule when compared to the wholesale destruction in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Kenosha and Minneapolis? Damage estimates from those locations ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.
Why aren't you seeing any sort of video coverage of the attack on Capitol Police Officer Sicknick from what is arguably the most camera-infested city this side of the Atlantic Ocean? Not a single camera has footage of a murderer swinging a fire extinguisher?
  • it doesn't fit the media narrative, so it will be ignored and/or swept under the rug
Why hasn't there been a single leak of exactly who shot Ashli Babbitt? For the record, we aren't supporters of identifying police officers involved in shootings - but our opinion doesn't hold much sway nowadays as evidenced by shootings in Ferguson, Cincinnati, Kenosha, Chicago, and pretty much every single officer involved incident of the past four years.

By all reports and video available, she was unarmed, climbing in a narrow broken window with empty hands. Where were the tasers? Tear gas? Reinforcements? These questions have all been asked, shouted and screamed by media and leftist politicos for years now, always second guessing. Now there's none?
  • again, the narrative
[You can see the shooter about 9 seconds into this video. Is the shooter a black plain clothes officer or secret service or a Congressman? This will be memory holed, because it doesn’t fit the narrative, and BLM / Antifa wouldn’t want to use this shooting as a pretext to to riot in our major cities.

What would the title be “Black Officer (or secret serviceman, or Congressman) Justifiably Shoots Unarmed White Woman Who Was Part of a Mob”? MSM isn’t interested in that headline.]

If you read many of the middle-of-the-road sites, you're going to see more of these leaking out for a few days....until they get banned, too - the lefties were there too, mixed in with the Trumpers:
  • But some of the 40-minute video [John Sullivan - Insurgence USA] posted to his social media sites contradicts his assertion that he and another woman were “only filming” the actions and not participating as he can be heard in the video encouraging people to join them as they push their way through police barricades.
  • Just after people broke into the building, Sullivan — wearing a gas mask and wielding an iPhone on a stabilizing stick — and a woman who said Wednesday that she was making a documentary on Sullivan, are on the first porch area outside the entrance looking back over the throngs of people around the Capitol. They can be heard encouraging people to climb the wall, saying, “Come on. Let’s go!”
For the tiny brains, this doesn't excuse any of the riotous behavior in DC. But individuals made the bad decisions. Not only that, but if you've got any sort of time on the job and you served in any of the riots over the past two decades, how many people does it take to start a cascade of opportunists from engaging in their baser instincts? Not many. 

  • ....the House speaker accused [Trump's] backers who violently invaded the Capitol of choosing “their whiteness over democracy.”
What in the actual fuck is that? Please, someone explain that to us.
If you're reading this site, you're likely a cop. And the blind belief of....

  • media narratives
  • politicians
  • even the FBI - who we all know are liars to the nth degree
...is quite appalling. Your bullshit detectors should be red-lining right now. You don't have to believe everything we do - but you ought to be asking questions. You know, like cops do.

UPDATE: This should have been asked above, but why are you not seeing a single tweet or quote from the President "encouraging" or "overthrowing" or "inciting" any sort of riots or property destruction? And don't say it's because they took down his social media accounts - you can find it if you look. Every single media report uses the same words and phrases and people are relying on those narratives why? Encouraging people to march to the seat of government to redress their grievances is now seditious? The Million Man / Mom / Woman marches did it. Abortion foes and supporters do it annually. MLK did it and spoke on the steps of the Capitol.

The world is upside down.
State of Play
January 9, 2021

Second City Cop comments on the Capitol Building’s total property damage amounting to a few thousand dollars and how D.C. cops inexplicably enabled the situation. In November, SCC posted a warning in November 2020 about social media persecution.
 
 
Dr. Michael J. Burry posted on Twitter: “I do not see a moral equivalence between rioters desecrating the ‘People’s House’ Capitol building and rioters looting, burning and occupying the businesses of private American citizens. The latter is far, far worse.” He also made this brilliant post exposing Democrat politicians calling for “protests” and violence.
 
Brigadier General Robert Spalding is new on my radar screen. You might wish to review one of his videos, “China’s Silent Takeover While America's Elite Slept” or buy and read Stealth War.
 
Dr. Michael Crichton (the author of Jurassic Park and Andromeda Strain was a Harvard educated M.D.) gave a presentation in 2005 about how PSYOPS, manipulated data, and MSM combine to stoke psychologically damaging fear and panic in populations around the globe: “States of Fear: Science or Politics?
President Trump’s Admin End: “Votes,” Violence, & “Vaccines”
January 8, 2021
 
The DOJ, FBI, State Department and more have reported to President Trump for four years. Ditto the National Guard, including in Washington, D.C.
 
Capitol police officer Brian D. Sicknick died of injuries sustained in the line of duty when he responded to the January 6 rioting in D.C. We need to find and prosecute those responsible. The rioters apparently included infiltrators (one had to expect that). But President Trump invited his supporters to D.C. for January 6, and one of his supporters, a woman, was shot in the mob swarming the Capital building. In all, five people are dead, three of related causes.
 
I imagine that Congressmen in the Capitol Building were terrified when protesters mobbed the building.
 
Why was a mob allowed into the building in this manner?
 
Have you seen our defense budget?
 
Riots in D.C. All Year
 
President Trump had ample warning. Yet antifa and BLM—both domestic terror organizations—rioted, looted & burned our cities for months. In Washington, D.C., St. John’s church across from the White House was burned and vandalized.
 
Congressmen who attended the August 2020 Republican National Convention were harassed upon their exit. Congressman Rand Paul feared that he and his wife would be killed. Why weren’t the Congressmen at the RNC protected on their way home?
 
On June 14, 2017, Congressman Steve Scalise was among five wounded at a ballfield in Alexandria, VA, near D.C., when James T. Hodgkinson opened fire with a rifle. A lobbyist was critically wounded and Scalise was seriously wounded—both barely survived.
 
A No Confidence Election Process
 
I am among millions who believe our election process is now illegitimate. “[S]kepticism goes well beyond mere distrust of the Democratic Party. For Trump’s vote-count skeptics, not even the GOP or the non-partisan election officials can be trusted to count the votes properly."
 
Recall that we listened to hours of evidence-free testimony from Christine Blasey Ford and others during Justice Kavanaugh’s September 2018 confirmation hearings.
Vice President Pence claimed we would hear the voting evidence on January 6, 2021, but we did not. If there was enough fraud to swing the election, "certification' is meaningless. Instead, an upset Congress finished counting votes at 3:00 am on January 7, 2021, under cover of darkness.
 
Americans do not have confidence in the “certification” of the 2020 presidential election. We have evidence that our elections are easily rigged, and our “leaders” will not address the process’s many problems.
 
President Trump had four years to work on solutions, and he could have started when he controlled the House and Senate. Likewise, he and Congress could have addressed social media censorship.
 
Lockdowns, Junk Science and “Vaccines”
 
Remember “fourteen days to flatten the curve”? President Trump did not protect us from lockdowns or mask mandates. Not even after we knew that the elderly with co-morbidities are chiefly at risk from COVID19.
 
COVID19 does not pose a graver threat to others than the ordinary flu, and the threat to children is much less than that of ordinary flu. Yet children have not been allowed to attend school.
 
We endured months of business-destroying lockdowns and riots in our major cities.
 
The rushed vaccines reportedly have high rates of severe side-effects, including death.
 
I have had COVID19 (I believe in March with very mild symptoms) and have tested positive for the antibodies. Since vaccines are meant to force you to create antibodies, people who have had COVID19 should be last in line for vaccines, if they get one at all. 

Yet, I will probably be forced to get a shot or forgo travel, because that’s how totalitarianism works.

In 1976, I contracted the flu during the swine flu pandemic. (It was bad, and I self-treated at home). The side effects of the vaccine were horrific, and the manufacturers were sued for billions.

This time, the manufacturers are immune to lawsuits.
 
What’s Next for 2021?
 
Is your portfolio prepared for socialism? Both Biden and Harris seem to favor it.
 
We will soon know what “president-elect Kamala Harris” has in store.


Lead Article in the Journal of Structured Finance

My article, “More Than One Million Reasons to Lie About Structured Finance,” is the lead article in the current Spring 2019 issue of The Journal of Structured Finance.
 
You may recall that the last time I wrote an article for JSF. It was for the Winter 2006 issue. It was also the lead article and was titled “The Elusive Income of Synthetic CDOs.” For many, it was a very long winter.
 
My finance classic, Structured Finance and Collateralized Debt Obligations was released by John Wiley & Sons in September 2008. It is an ongoing reference for lawyers, Congress, and students interested in both control fraud and legitimate instruments, applications, and hedging. It has just been re-released as a print replica eBook available only via Amazon for selected reading devices and as a trade paperback.
 
It’s funny to read the reviews of the first edition, mostly snark from “professionals.” The same people sang a different tune when the financial crisis hit and my analysis proved sound.
