Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now‚ its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie‚ the more you will believe it‚ and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today. Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice‚ we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil‚ if you will‚ the necessity of “controlled injustice.”By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice‚ we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed‚” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice‚ however‚ we need to endorse acts on occasion that‚ while seemingly unjust‚ serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic‚ and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.” And isn’t that what we are all after‚ anyway&;#63; Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective. We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by &;quot;the system” — not the old system‚ but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication. We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate‚ it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth‚ we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread‚ essential for the greater picture‚ will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom. The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar&;#63; Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes‚ we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable. The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy‚ and without deception‚ we will lose it. To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it‚ we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice‚ we'll save the republic. Therefore‚ we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society. I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context‚ by embracing the dishonor‚ we achieve the highest form of honor‚ ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic. Let this be heard‚ far and wide‚ as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance‚ let each of us‚ citizens of this great and honorable republic‚ consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice‚ the utility of lies‚ the duty to secure our electoral process‚ and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity. We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define‚ that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice‚ honor through dishonor‚ and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength. We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now‚ this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality‚ and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means‚ that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader‚ collective vision of justice‚ that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do‚ justice will cease to be justice‚ truth will cease to be truth‚ and our republic will be lost.

Local law enforcement and the FBI are using a new tactic: the “knock and talk.” Pairs of agents are appearing on Americans’ doorsteps unannounced‚ uninvited‚ and invariably without a warrant‚ with the aim of gaining access. For what exactly&;#63; Information. Visual surveillance. Property searches. And the Fourth Amendment’s protections against warrantless searches&;#63; Authorities don’t seem terribly concerned. According to the Rutherford Institute‚ “knock and talk” actions are initiated at private citizens’ homes without warning‚ often in the early morning or late evening. “A ‘knock and talk’ most often arises from anonymous‚ unsubstantiated‚ or hearsay information police possess that alleges illegal activity may be occurring at a particular home.” These surprise visits are now frequently being executed based upon nothing more than anonymous “tips” received by the FBI and other agencies‚ often because of social media posts. Zack Bonfilio of San Antonio‚ Texas‚ was on the receiving end of such a visit around 10:30 on the morning of February 29. Two FBI agents wanted to ask him questions about his social media activity. Bonfilio‚ known online as “The Misfit Patriot‚” wasn’t home when the special agents rang his doorbell‚ but he was able to respond to them remotely from his workplace. Once the agents identified themselves and showed their badges‚ Bonfilio gave Special Agent Tristan Hyland his phone number. — (@) Immediately after taking Agent Hyland’s call‚ Bonfilio was told by the FBI agent that the visit concerned his social media activity. Bonfilio asked if this was about any specific social media post. “No‚” Hyland replied. “We looked at your social media and found nothing illegal. We are just here to just check off a box. It’s procedure.” Bonfilio instructed the agents to speak with his attorney. He then explained that his attorney contacted the FBI “five seconds after I got off the phone with them.” Bonfilio told Blaze Media his attorney has attempted to reach Hyland for six weeks‚ without success. Yet on April 2 at 11:45 a.m.‚ Hyland left a voice message on Bonfilio’s phone‚ which he provided to Blaze Media. “I was calling just to follow up on our conversation we had a few weeks ago‚” the agent said. “Just wondering if you were able to reach out to your attorney yet&;#63; I haven’t heard anything from you or them‚ so I would like to get something on the books.” Bonfilio confirmed that his attorney has made additional attempts to reach Hyland but that she had yet to hear back from Hyland as of publication. Bonfilio says he doesn’t know what the FBI wants with him. He denies ever posting any threatening or inflammatory language. He conjectures the only post that might have elicited a “tip” to the FBI was a series of comments on X (formerly Twitter) he made in response to the self-immolation of pro-Palestinian protester Aaron Bushnell. Bushnell‚ who on February 25 set himself on fire outside the gate of the Israeli embassy in Washington‚ D.C.‚ set off a viral online reaction. Bonfilio shared screenshots of a few of his responses‚ which have since been removed. Those include statements and replies made by Bonfilio‚ including: This man is a murderer. He didn’t “give” his life for anything. He took his own life‚ he killed himself. He murdered the man he was to push a political agenda in support of people who chant “death to America.” He was quite literally a domestic terrorist. Do not even think of feeling bad for him. He got what he wanted‚ he’s a martyr for a mob of terrorist sympathizers and a hero to Hamas. He’s no different than a suicide bomber. I stand by what I said earlier and have no more sympathy or excuses for crazy when it comes to supporting terrorism. If you’ve had 100 concussions and start chanting from the river to the sea‚ you can set yourself on fire too for all I care. In reply to another X user who’d characterized Bushnell as a “hero” to the Palestinian cause‚ Bonfilio wrote: “I nominate you to light yourself on fire to show you are as brave as Aaron‚ since you think he's such a hero. You people are f***in retarded.” Bonfilio said that while those statements contained no threats of violence‚ they were as “aggressive” as anything he’s ever posted on social media. He noted that the FBI’s visit came only a couple of days after he posted his comments about Bushnell. Humorously‚ while awaiting a response to the doorbell ring‚ the two FBI agents can be seen looking down at Bonfilio’s doormat‚ which reads‚ “COME BACK WITH A WARRANT.” One of the agents remarked‚ “That’s pretty funny.” Former FBI special agent turned whistleblower Kyle Seraphin said “knock and talk” visits are typically generated from tips received through the agency’s “e-Guardian system‚” and the visits are usually performed by low-level‚ young‚ or more inexperienced agents. “Unfortunately‚ FBI agents are not allowed to engage in critical thinking and determine‚ based on the nature of the threat‚ whether or not it’s a First Amendment-protected activity or whether that person needs to be interviewed‚” Seraphin said. The trouble with “box-checking” visits‚ Seraphin explained‚ is that the agents are “not empowered to ... close the lead out.” There are no logical investigative steps for agents to follow because they’re investigating constitutionally protected activity. “And that’s the real problem with having a non-thinking FBI‚” he said. Seraphin said Bonfilio responded to the FBI’s queries properly. “The right answer is always to not answer any questions” he said. The only prudent response of any private citizen to an attempted “knock and talk” visit should be to direct the questions to an attorney. Blaze Media contacted FBI Special Agent Hyland directly for a comment. A spokesman for the FBI’s San Antonio field office declined to comment on Bonfilio’s case.
