| Culture of fear |
| 2017-07-10 |
| My heading is, as too often, inspired by a morning squint through the news. The phrase came up a couple of times; I had seen it before. I gather Trumpf’s gauleiters have been trying to isolate the leakers of (often fake) state secrets, from deep within the vast Washington bureaucracy. This, preparatory to firing and prosecuting them. A "culture of fear" has been thereby created, I suppose because the great majority of bureaucrats are Smug Left, and on the side of the leakers. Most would not themselves leak, however: they have not the cojones. Nevertheless they feel a "chilling effect," according to the usual Smug Left media. Good news: I’m all for refrigerating these people. One of the more important functions of civilization, is to create a "culture of fear" among criminal malefactors, and have upon their actions a "chilling effect." |

| #2 The author differentiates between "protesters" and "rioters." I agree with the authors solution to rioters. |

| #1 And why give the sick seedy anarchists of Europe a place to congregate? Except for the purpose of performing a cull? Excellent question. The caveat however, should not be strictly limited to European anarchists. |
