Sometime in the past near future, one thing is certain...
If journalists in The Media are to be believed, one third of ‘typical’ Americans believe their country has been stolen and many of those suspect it is being held hostage by George Soros, or Communists, or Clintons, or ANTIFA, or voting machine hackers, or all of them... at least one of them. Maybe more. Identifying the exact players is complicated.
A frightened man sits in a car. He takes a long breath. Heart pounding, head spinning he tries to understand how thoughts of imminent death and fear for his family came without warning.
If journalists in The Media are to be believed, for months civilization has been slowly shutting down. Caught by surprise by a raging pandemic, hospitals report record numbers of emergency room visits. Body temperatures sore just short of human endurance. Unable to breath, hoping for attention, victims pack emergency rooms. Some - suffocating - are admitted. Overwhelmed with critically ill patients there are no beds. There are no respirators. Prayers turns to pleas for a tube to be shoved down the throat. When a bed or a respirator becomes available it’s immediately taken. A panicked government orders the closing of bars, restaurants, churches, mom and pop gift shops. Whole towns are devastated by new laws and restrictions. There is no baseball. Replacement statistics are provided and followed. Baseball is forgotten and an empty space grows in the heart of America.
The car pulls out from the driveway. He is separating himself from his family. They will be safer without him. Not unusual in these times.
Television screens, computer monitors, VR headsets, radio speakers, and earbuds across the world have been reporting the exponentially exploding spread of a mysterious illness. Feeling helpless, dying to be comforted… you stock up on toilet paper. It makes you feel better. Do you have it? Every sneeze, every cough reminds you. You don’t have a thermometer. Testing centers begin to open. There is a shortage of test kits. You finally get a test. You wait for results. You have the virus. It’s likely you’re on your own now. You’re alone. A well known but hidden threat has cut off close relationships. You say your goodbyes from a distance. From six feet away. You’ve hear that family members infected with the plague must isolate themselves from loved ones they had previously cared for - who had previously cared for them. You hadn’t really thought it through. It was happening to other people.
The man looks carefully down the street. He must not be seen. He has disguised himself, the car is not his own. He travels far from home and goes into hiding. The man is Eric Coomer must travel under a pseudonym and the immediate threat to his family is not the COVID virus, it's Joe Oltmann and the UADF. In the name of liberty, in the guise of Christianity, inspired by God… Oltmann has attacked Eric and his family as well as any journalists who would dare discuss his behavior.
Lest the gentle reader has become desensitized to the use of gentle language, I mean ATTACKED. I don’t mean the ridicule and terror tactics of a school yard wanna be bully. I mean Oltmann has surreptitiously yet forcefully planted, into the hearts of Coomer’s family, visions of calculated, credible violence to be executed by grown bullies who appear to suffer some form of arrested development - and know his home address.
Battle hardened veterans and wanna be recruits, free of legitimate command, free of the required discipline and values which ordinarily constrain American soldiers to appropriate uses of force, are now at liberty to engage in arbitrary injustices of their own devising. These soldiers of fortune have (for the time being) the independence to exercise their personal demons by indulging personal political fantasies. All the lethality, none of the humility.
Enchanted by the mythology of the righteous cowboy, energized by moral certainty sucked from the pontifications of false prophets, inflated by the heady responsibility of prying personal insight from a holy book, convinced a fast food Jesus orders earthly conquest, possessed by the notion of demon directed neighbors, seduced by the novel uses of modern weaponry as featured in savage cinematics… they imagine being led into battle by a vengeful and warlike “holy spirit.” Personally... these modern militants seem disconnected from the gentleness of the biblical Jesus I know - personally.
Like slaveholders who loose hungry dogs to run down and maul the “disobedient”, like opinionated bullies who seek out men of different views, and - with no warning - strike them in the head, like cool snipers hiding in urban terrain sight non-combatants and liberate brains from ears - from a great distance… These proudly boast of their abilities to carry out terroristic threats in the name of defending themselves, on American soil, against American citizens, against American journalists. Against any disobedient to the Word of God, the morality revealed in scripture, the accumulated wealth and security of the true believer. These militants do not answer to a Commander in Chief, they answer to a higher authority - their own imagination.
Joe Oltmann has accused Eric Coomer of masterminding and planning sedition. Coomer is accused of leveraging the resources of his peers (and more complicated entities) to secretly coordinate with various interests of like mind. He is accused of recently executing this plan. A plan to disrupt the foundations of government, to steal the soul of Democracy. One might pause to wonder where Mr. Oltmann came up with these notions.
Joe Oltmann’s antisocial behavior is further encouraged by constant contact and agreement with others (in high and low places) who share his violent delusions. This vicious smear campaign against an American business intent on securing the rights of American voters - intensifies. They follow up with a crescendo of credible threats. Coomer packs it up and sneaks out the back. Like crusading Christian knights of the dark ages, Joe Oltmann bravely goes on the offensive against injustice and evil. Eventually an angry mob of misled virtual patriots puts a thorny million dollar bounty on the head of Eric Coomer. Hmm.
It mystifies some people that this is allowed to continue.
Colorado Springs is the birthplace of “Family Values.” So much for family values. Oltmann’s political organization, FEC United - proclaims three pillars supporting its mission; Faith, Education, and Commerce.
Joe Oltmann to journalists: "We’re coming for you." "If you’re part of the media and you write something bad about us, better take your byline off it.” I have “information to bury them heftily and for some create a massive problem for the news organizations that employ them. Lawsuits to follow. It’s going to be a season of lawsuits ... get ready for it."
So much for education.
Joe Oltmann on peaceful protests: “The next one no one’s leaving. Not only is no one leaving, but it’s going to be an ass-whupping of magnificent proportions. If someone tries to take our country or our “way of life,” blood will be “spilled.”
So much for faith.
By "our" he means FEC United and it's heavily armed MILITIA. The intimidation of Eric Coomer is not made face to face, not in person. Over the long wires of the internet, during a podcast to his true believers... In fact, he doesn’t even address Eric Coomer by name. "Eric from Dominion." There are many other things to be said about this moment in history - but for the purposes of this discussion - that’s enough. You get the point. If you don’t, here is a final thought. Oltmann never speaks of, calls out, or indicates he will personally carry out his violent threats. Instead, he implies his outrageous terrorism will be delivered by his group, the angry mob, the patriotic posse. He back's up his smack talkin' with some serious-manly firepower. He has anointed Bengali Tiger Tig Tiegen head of the “Defense Force,” the militia, the UADF, the "humanitarian" wing of FEC United. Tig organizes the guns, beer, big guns, clubhouse, really big guns, cub scout patches, padded gloves, you know... as seen on TV. The humanitarian stuff. Visit the site… the pics on the splash page carousel are worth the effort. Hilarious. Not really.
Tiegen was part of an armed group that set up a sniper position on the roof of a downtown Colorado Springs parking garage during the tail end of a Black Lives Matter protest in Colorado Springs. Oltmann brought… a dog.
It still mystifies some people that this is allowed to continue.
Meanwhile... back in Texas:
Russ Ramsland has been identified as the Godfather of Stop The Steal. Ramsland has spent years in vain searching for voting fraud - and dabbling in other sore loser scams, and has now elbowed control of a slapped together - but elite - crack force of ex-security contractors called…ASOG. And TA-DA, after years of effort... he has finally hit pay-dirt. THE BIG STEAL. This week The Washington Post shows exactly how the fire was kindled. The real hero in hiding, Mr. Coomer, had given us a big tip when RAMSLAND's name came right after OLTMANNs name in the defamation filings.(Coomer is suing Oltmann, Giuliani, FOX, NEWSMAX, etc etc… look it up).
Meanwhile…WAY BACK back in Texas:
Besides voting-machine investigations, another thing the allegedly defaming duo have in common is the Good News as put forth by the Polish Pastor Powlowski. You can read what he writes about himself here, in a fake press release. He quotes himself (I’ve never seen anything like this before) “Cowering to authoritarian government edicts and misguided law enforcement officers is the opposite of what God would want from us as Christians.” The “good” Pastor says the Canadian government doesn’t care about it’s people but he shows *his* care by guiding his flock to ignore the law with impunity. He proudly shows a list of over 300 citations he also ignores. He says he is uncomfortable in Canada. Artur survived Poland before its liberation from communist tyranny and says he therefore recognizes the Canadian police as fascists (and communists) in furious rants. He does appear traumatized. I think he needs some assurance that he is now in a safer country. In a Democracy, freedom comes with responsibility. The law where he lives requires one to wear a mask. It’s very simple. Here, in free countries, the law is respected. The absence of this respect… fosters tyranny. But, Pawlowski screams at a woman with all his lungs, "Go Nazi Go Nazi, leave this building Commie, Commie, Nazi, Commie, you are evil, evil, evil." At a woman! This goes on for several minutes as she calmly explains the nature of her visit is to ask for compliance with the law. “Evil!” This is the picture of manhood that Oltmann and Ramland would have us emulate and respect.
As of this hour, Russ Ramsland's website shows he is hosting a lawless show of his own starring Richard M. Fleming, a convicted felon. (surprisingly, “pastor” does not appear in his considerable list of credentials.) Russ appears to be moving on from the voting focus but the interesting bit is WHERE Russ decides to host the salesman of COVID related cures. The premises are managed by one Pastor Stephan Broden. Paster Broden was ahead of his time. He has been thinking about insurrection for ten years. He despaired that Americans were ignoring the tyrannical transgressions of the Obama administration like “Germans ignored the gas chambers.” If the free elections don't go our way, “violent overthrow of the tyrannical U.S. government is on the table!” This is familiar, no? Kneeling with raised hands, the traditional posture of submission, the Lord is thanked for his guidance. Eric Coomer is still working to secure democracy, Russ Ramsland and Joe Oltmann are still ripping it down, under the cover of a nominal Jesus. It appears the government is paralyzed. Didn’t the founders anticipate such an occurrence? It still mystifies some people that this is allowed to continue.
America has been divided and may soon be conquered. Defeated without one bullet being fired from a foreign power. Years of valiant sacrifice, untold miseries suffered by courageous men and women who believed in liberty from tyrannical rule. Self appointed ideological despots, and royal tyrants convinced by history or God that they had the right to rule over men... were rejected. The rights of man were now recognized. Today, fully one third of Americans, threatened by the freedoms they see exercised by men who don’t share the trappings and beliefs of their particular tribe… are working - praying - for the return of tyranny. They remain convinced that the current government is illegitimate. Many, many are unshakingly convinced that violent overthrow of the United States is their heritage.
Instead of turning to the Lord, Israel traded Yahweh for an earthly king out of fear of the serpent. It was only later that the people realized they had committed a great “wrong” (1 Samuel 12:17, 19). The chief priests shouted at the trial of the Lord, “We have no king but Caesar.” Neither Caesar, nor history, nor the Lord will smile upon such men when they realize the facts.
But one thing is certain...
In reality-TV sized scenarios, fame and fortune go hand in hand, taking turns dragging each other and the rest of the mess on down the orange tinted road to glory. Some (journalist Roman Protasevich) find their fifteen minutes squashed by soviet style information warfare - after soviet style torture. Eric Coomer's fame was like none of these. He was in his private office securing voting machines.
