  1. This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It’s nowhere to be found at the Capitol WASHINGTON (AP) — Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found. It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, has yet to formally unveil the plaque. And the Trump administration’s Department of Justice is seeking to dismiss a police officers’ lawsuit asking that it be displayed as intended. The Architect of the Capitol, which was responsible for obtaining and displaying the plaque, said in light of the federal litigation, it cannot comment. Determined to preserve the nation’s history, some 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have taken it upon themselves to memorialize the moment. For months, they’ve mounted poster board-style replicas of the Jan. 6 plaque outside their office doors, resulting in a Capitol complex awash with makeshift remembrances. “On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on Jan. 6, 2021,” reads the faux bronze stand-in for the real thing. “Their heroism will never be forgotten.” Jan. 6 void in the Capitol In Washington, a capital city lined with monuments to the nation’s history, the plaque was intended to become a simple but permanent marker, situated near the Capitol’s west front, where some of the most violent fighting took place as rioters breached the building. But in its absence, the missing plaque makes way for something else entirely — a culture of forgetting. Visitors can pass through the Capitol without any formal reminder of what happened that day, when a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the building trying to overturn the Republican’s 2020 reelection defeat to Democrat Joe Biden. With memory left unchecked, it allows new narratives to swirl and revised histories to take hold. Five years ago, the jarring scene watched the world over was declared an “insurrection” by the then-GOP leader of the Senate, while the House GOP leader at the time called it his “saddest day” in Congress. But those condemnations have faded. Trump calls it a “day of love.” And Johnson, who was among those lawmakers challenging the 2020 election results, is now the House speaker. “The question of January 6 remains – democracy was on the guillotine — how important is that event in the overall sweep of 21st century U.S. history,” said Douglas Brinkley, a professor of history at Rice University and noted scholar. “Will January 6 be seen as the seminal moment when democracy was in peril?” he asked. Or will it be remembered as “kind of a weird one-off?” “There’s not as much consensus on that as one would have thought on the fifth anniversary,” he said. Memories shift, but violent legacy lingers At least five people died in the riot and its aftermath, including Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot by police while trying to climb through a window toward the House chamber. More than 140 law enforcement officers were wounded, some gravely, and several died later, some by suicide. All told, some 1,500 people were charged in the Capitol attack, among the largest federal prosecutions in the nation’s history. When Trump returned to power in January 2025, he pardoned all of them within hours of taking office. Unlike the twin light beams that commemorated the Sept. 11, 2001, attack or the stand-alone chairs at the Oklahoma City bombing site memorial, the failure to recognize Jan. 6 has left a gap not only in memory but in helping to stitch the country back together. “That’s why you put up a plaque,” said Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa. “You respect the memory and the service of the people involved.” Police sue over Jan. 6 plaque, DOJ seeks to dismiss The speaker’s office said in a statement late Monday the statute authorizing the plaque is “not implementable” and proposed alternatives also “do not comply.” Johnson’s spokesman said if Democrats are serious about commemorating the police, they’re free to work with the appropriate committees to develop a framework for proper vetting and consideration. Lawmakers approved the plaque in March 2022 as part of a broader government funding package. The resolution said the U.S. “owes its deepest gratitude to those officers,” and it set out instructions for an honorific plaque listing the names of officers “who responded to the violence that occurred.” It gave a one-year deadline for installation at the Capitol. This summer, two officers who fought the mob that day sued over the delay. “By refusing to follow the law and honor officers as it is required to do, Congress encourages this rewriting of history,” said the claim by officers Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges. “It suggests that the officers are not worthy of being recognized, because Congress refuses to recognize them.” The Justice Department is seeking to have the case dismissed. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and others argued Congress “already has publicly recognized the service of law enforcement personnel” by approving the plaque and displaying it wouldn’t alleviate the problems they claim to face from their work. “It is implausible,” the Justice Department attorneys wrote, to suggest installation of the plaque “would stop the alleged death threats they claim to have been receiving.” The department also said the plaque is required to include the names of “all law enforcement officers” involved in the response that day — some 3,600 people. Makeshift memorials emerge Lawmakers who’ve installed replicas of the plaque outside their offices said it’s important for the public to know what happened. “There are new generations of people who are just growing up now who don’t understand how close we came to losing our democracy on Jan 6, 2021,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a member of the Jan. 6 committee, which was opposed by GOP leadership but nevertheless issued a nearly 1,000-page report investigating the run-up to the attack and the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Raskin envisions the Capitol one day holding tours around what happened. “People need to study that as an essential part of American history,” he said. “Think about the dates in American history that we know only by the dates: There’s the 4th of July. There’s December 7th. There’s 9/11. And there’s January 6th,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-calif., who also served on the committee and has a plaque outside her office. “They really saved my life, and they saved the democracy and they deserve to be thanked for it,” she said. But as time passes, there are no longer bipartisan memorial services for Jan. 6. On Tuesday, the Democrats will reconvene members from the Jan. 6 committee for a hearing to “examine ongoing threats to free and fair elections,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York announced. It’s unlikely Republicans will participate. The Republicans under Johnson have tapped Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia to stand up their own special committee to uncover what the speaker calls the “full truth” of what happened. They’re planning a hearing this month. “We should stop this silliness of trying to whitewash history -- it’s not going to happen,” said Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., who helped lead the effort to display the replica plaques. “I was here that day so I’ll never forget,” he said. “I think that Americans will not forget what happened.” The number of makeshift plaques that fill the halls is a testimony to that remembrance, he said. Instead of one plaque, he said, they’ve “now got 100.”

  3. What are your thoughts on pardons for rioters who attacked and killed police officers at the Capitol five years ago today, because I believe they also deserved a short drop or firing squad? One would think that the man who pardoned 1,600 people who attacked and killed officers has an anti-police agenda.

    More from that Miller interview. Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland In a CNN interview, the Trump aide also echoed the president’s intent to run Venezuela as he laid out a case for the United States to control weaker states by flexing its military might. Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, asserted on Monday that Greenland rightfully belonged to the United States and that the Trump administration could seize the semiautonomous Danish territory if it wanted. “Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” Mr. Miller told Jake Tapper, the CNN host, after being asked repeatedly whether he would rule out using military force. The remarks were part of a vocal push by Mr. Miller, long a powerful behind-the-scenes player in Trump administration policy, to justify American imperialism and a vision for a new world order in which the United States could freely overthrow national governments and take foreign territory and resources so long as it was in the national interest. “We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” Mr. Miller made his comments after his wife posted an image on social media over the weekend suggesting that the United States would soon take control of Greenland, and as Mr. Trump has renewed his own push for the island. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark urged Mr. Trump on Sunday to “stop the threats” to annex Greenland, in effect attacking a NATO ally. The United States’ taking Greenland by force would rip apart the central agreement that underpins the NATO military alliance, of which Denmark and the United States are both founding members. Under that treaty, an attack on any member is treated as an attack on all members. Mr. Trump has previously said he would not rule out using the military to take Greenland. Mr. Miller also echoed Mr. Trump’s intent to rule Venezuela and exploit its vast oil reserves after a U.S. raid seized President Nicolás Maduro and his wife from Caracas. Even some of America’s staunchest allies have criticized the raid, and the U.N. secretary general, António Guterres, said the raid had violated the U.N. charter. “The United States of America is running Venezuela,” Mr. Miller said, dismissing international treaties enshrining a nation’s right to independence and sovereignty as “international niceties.” (What exactly is meant by “running” Venezuela is a matter of some dispute; Secretary of State Marco Rubio has shied away from the descriptor — even as Trump insists that the United States is very much “in charge” of Venezuela — and Speaker Mike Johnson, who has vigorously defended the military operation, has maintained that the United States is not engaged in military hostilities or an occupation.) Mr. Miller’s language echoed a dark history of the United States’ governing weaker, smaller states in Latin America by flexing its military might. Mr. Miller asserted that a U.S. military blockade of the South American country of 28 million people would give the United States control of Venezuela. “We set the terms and conditions,” Mr. Miller said. “We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. So for them to do commerce, they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy, they need our permission. So the United States is in charge. The United States is running the country.” Senator Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont, denounced Mr. Miller’s remarks soon afterward, saying on CNN that “Mr. Miller gave a very good definition of imperialism.” “Trump has made it clear he wants to take Venezuela’s oil,” he added. “Last I heard, this is what imperialism is all about. And I suspect that people all over the world are saying, ‘Wow, we’re going back to where we were 100 years ago, or 50 years ago, where the big, powerful countries were exploiting poorer countries for their natural resources.’”
  6. Technocracy, Inc. and the Technate of America The Technocracy movement had its brief heyday in the 1930s, its leading proponent engineer Howard Scott (1890-1970) and his Technocracy Incorporated, founded in 1933. The movement was ideologically somewhat diverse and fractious, but Scott’s version was fueled by the Great Depression and the crisis of capitalism, quack economics, post-First-World-War isolationism, and an infatuation with Fascist form and ritual. At the core of its ideology was a rejection of the “price system” underlying the global economy, in which money as a medium of exchange determines the value of goods and services and financial considerations are fundamental to all economic decision making. Citing the Depression as Exhibit A, movement adherents viewed this system as inherently unsustainable and predicted a total system collapse no later than 1940. Technocracy Inc.’s prescriptive program had economic, political and geopolitical elements. At the core was a shift from the price system to what Scott called “an energy theory of value”, in which goods and services were to be valued based not on money but in terms of the energy inputs required to produce them. This in turn would necessitate the abandonment of democracy and the embrace of a technocracy—government by an unelected, technically skilled, empirically-driven elite with the expertise necessary to determine values and make rational resource-allocation decisions. The outward manifestations of this authoritarian outlook had a distinctly Fascist flavor: Technocracy Inc. members wore a uniform of double-breasted suit, gray shirt, and blue tie, with the red Technocracy logo worn on the lapel; drove gray-painted cars; and saluted one another in public. Technocracy, Inc.’s geopolitical program was simultaneously expansionist, isolationist, and autarchic. It called for a “Technate” consisting of a union of the nations of North America, Central America, the Caribbean and northeastern Pacific, along with the northern tier of South America. The rationale was that “the natural resources and the natural boundaries of this area make it an independent, self-sustaining geographical unit.” (The Technocrat, vol. 3 no. 4 (Sept. 1937), p. 3) In keeping with Technocracy Inc.’s authoritarian tendencies, the Technate would ensure its security by enacting a “Continental integration and mobilization”, and “complete conscription of men, materials, machines, and wealth by the government of the United States”, which were to be “placed before all other objectives of the American peoples” (The Technocrat, vol. 9 no. 3 (Apr. 1941), quoted in Manuel L. Quezon III, “Weekend Reading: Everything Old Is New Again”, posted Feb. 15, 2025). Key to this project was the construction of a chain of far-flung “defense bases” along the Technate’s borders. Behind these the Technate would be entirely secure, its economy “self-sustaining” and independent of global trade, and its defenses sufficient to deter would-be invaders. As such, it would have no need to become involved in the conflicts of either Europe or Asia. “Opposition to American entry into the wars raging outside our Area is a keystone of Technocracy’s current basic policy. Lest that policy be mis- construed by uninformed persons in the public, Technocracy points out that this position is not held on the basis of humanitarian or pacifist tenets. America is worth fighting for! But we need fight for America only on American terms and from our own Continental defenses. Competent strategy will keep war out of our Area.” (Ibid.) As with the broader isolationist movement, Technocracy, Inc. had its legs cut out from under it by the attack on Pearl Harbor, the subsequent entry of the United States into the Second World War, and the nation’s near-total mobilization to fight the good fight against Fascism, all within a democratic, capitalist framework. Nevertheless, the organization survives to this day, with a web site, membership and online meetings.
  7. Some interesting discussion in the comments with some nice background links about the history of this movement. I think we've also had folks talk over here on our site about Elmo's granddad being a big proponent of this.
  8. According to the June 2024 survey, about 21% of Iranians would prefer a monarchy (16% for a unitary government under a monarch; 5% for a federal government under a monarch). Keep in mind you guys are communicating with Icono, who: a) has a weird fetish for monarchies (see his earlier laments about the US not being a monarchy, as well as his strong support for the British Crown, and b) is a bald-faced liar who insisted for over a year that he's not Icono despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. https://gamaan.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Iranians-Political-Preferences-in-2024-GAMAAN-Report-English.pdf

    I'm sure Putin is loving this shit. Europe must unite or it’s ‘finished,’ Poland’s Tusk warns as Trump salivates over Greenland “One for all, and all for one,” Polish prime minister urges as U.S. strikes Venezuela and threatens Greenland. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk issued a dire warning about the future of Europe, saying the continent is “finished” without unity, following a week that saw fractures in the stances of EU countries on foreign policy. Tusk, a pro-European centrist, wrote on social media Monday that Europe won’t be taken “seriously” if it is “weak and divided: neither enemy nor ally.” “It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before,” he said. “One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.” Tusk’s warning came after U.S. President Donald Trump revived his threats to take control of Greenland, the self-ruling Danish territory that he has long coveted. “We need Greenland from a national security situation,” the American leader told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday. “We will deal with Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days,” he added, without giving more information about what he meant. Those remarks came after the U.S. launched strikes on Venezuela and arrested its leader, Nicolás Maduro, in an audacious nighttime raid. The dramatic operation raised fears in Europe that Washington could attempt a takeover of Greenland, prompting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to issue a stern rebuke. Annexing the Arctic island would make “absolutely no sense,” she said Sunday, with fellow Nordic nations Norway, Finland and Sweden expressing their support. The EU’s response to the U.S. intervention in Venezuela has been somewhat varied. High Representative Kaja Kallas called for “restraint” in a statement that garnered the support of 26 member countries, minus Hungary. Spain, meanwhile, split from the EU and joined five Latin American countries in a far more forceful statement slamming Washington’s attack on Venezuela’s sovereignty and calling for the nation’s natural resources not to be exploited, amid Trump’s pledge to take over its oil fields. While most EU member countries have issued their own cautiously worded statements urging respect for international law, Italy struck a more approving note, calling military action “legitimate against hybrid security attacks.” But Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was scathing, saying the U.S. incursion in Venezuela was “further evidence of the breakdown of the world order,” and in a Facebook post on Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the “liberal world order is in disintegration.”
  13. I guess I'll wait to see if the corner store puts up a new sign that says, "TRUMP OIL" in big, gaudy, gold letters in the next year or so.
  14. Take out the flu, and I'm kind of in the same spot since I've had the channel only on ESPN and old war movies on Tubi all day without having even clicked on a single link or site dealing with news today, but based on skimming this thread to get caught up on WTF is going on, I read several comments earlier that seem to have quoted His Orange Juliusness say something along the lines of "we're going to run Venezuela" and other shit about "our oil."
  15. Since it's been made clear that the law doesn't matter anymore under this regime and everything is transactional nowadays, I'd like to ask a basic, pragmatic question after my royalty checks have already declined by about 30% over the past year, mainly due to the whole tariff bullshit. How much farther can I expect these checks and my oil patch town’s economy to decline now that Venezuelan oil is about to flood the market?
  16. Well I screwed that up, didn't I.
  17. Glad it worked out for you. Mine still gives me issues almost 10 years later. It was broken in 3 places, and I was already going through a rough spell, so probably didn't take PT seriously enough.
  18. Just add bye to the pile. While Morton hasn't been stellar this season, he was mostly competent. I do think it likely effected his mindset (probably dwelled on the game for too long or just got rusty, which would be on McGuire), shoving him from pedestrian to flat out bad and having the absolute worst game I'veseen. And, that O-line looked vulnerable against even the weaker Big 12 opponents. All credit to Miami, though. They kicked their asses on D. Btw, I don't get the comment above bagging on Fantana or Slorch, though. Neither one of them seemed to exude some "newfound confidence," as if they were cocky shit-talkers all season. Both of them have been quite vocal about their doubts about Morton (this isn't directed at you but didn't want to make a separate post). Every team has their embarrassing idiot online fans (looking at Greenspoint and Helobious as obvious examples), but I think we Tech fans are pretty subdued and well-behaved here on Surly, for the most part, unless folks just start making ahit up, as if a lie can be conjured into reality. Oh, and yeah, I'm a Longhorn, too.
  19. Speaking from experience, broken ankles are no bueno. Got a titanium rod, a small plate, and about 13 screws in my mine to show for it. That leg is about half an inch shorter than it used to be. I couldn't put any weight on it for 8 weeks (right ankle, so couldn't even drive) and had to wear a boot for about 4 months.
  20. A night of sploshing will do that.
