OK.
Well, maybe not face-to-face exactly, but keyboard-to-keyboard at the very least...
Yesterday, I used my memory, with an assist from the Googleplex, to write a post that started with a tweet from a certain Mr. Trump in which he shouted, in ALL-CAPS, for his base to 'Liberate Michigan!'

The post then moved on to the spectacle of armed 'protestors' over-running the Michigan statehouse and it ended with the arrests, yesterday, of a fine passel of (allegedly) grown men who were plotting, amongst other things, to kidnap the Governor.

In response, I received the following anonymous comment on the thread attached to the post:
C'mon, man, you have to know there's so much more to this story.
Consider that, as Trevor Aronson has documented*, the FBI creates more terrorism than all other terror groups combined; and then factor in that their dirty paws are all over this latest episode, too.
Consider that the FBI has much to worry about from a second term DOJ under Trump, and that Dir. Wray issued the recent white-supremicist charge without evidence right when the public was becoming aware of evidence that BLM and Anti-fa are marxists proxies with links to the DNC and the Biden campaign.
Consider that Gov. Whitmer just suffered a resounding constitutional defeat over her decision to take implement excessive quarantine measures.
If this little nudge hasn't at least moved you to consider the possibility that we're looking at another synthetic terror plot, then it's time for you to pack it in and go fishing full time.
Here is how I responded:
I know of Mr. Aaronson's work. Much of that work points out what he views to be overzealous attempts by the FBI to root out terrorists of a very different kind in the context of a post-9/11 America. I do not disagree that much of what he has to say is worth paying attention to. However, to my knowledge he has not yet written about this particular incident, either in the Intercept or elsewhere. Regardless, if you would like to provide specific evidence of entrapment in this case I would be happy to reconsider the post under consideration.
My question for you based on your comment is the following....Are you arguing that there are not self-styled, armed militia groups who are fomenting unrest in places like Michigan after they (were first) exhorted to do so by the current president of the United States?
I'll keep you apprised of further developments and/or discussions...

We’re about to discover whether Mr. Aaronson is more pleased that white extremists have been arrested for terrorism than disappointed by the methods used to nab them. Does he have a Muslim filter?
What is scary either way is how much support these guys have, both inside and outside of law enforcement.
Lew--
I was going to leave it alone but ultimately decided that the third paragraph could not be ignored.

RossK,
Yes, that third paragraph in particular is evidence of the support I was alluding to. Right out of the Q’ster playbook.
Still no further response...
