Steve’s Report on Day 9 of Oath Keeper’s Trial
Steve Baker - The Pragmatic Constitutionalist
Progressives have incrementally eroded away our freedoms for decades. Incrementally, we must begin taking them back. THE PRAGMATIC CONSTITUTIONALIST IS... . . . GUIDED in philosophy and political activism by one simple axiom: “There’s the world we want, vs. the world in which we actually live.” Purist libertarian ideologists imagine a world and human interactions in which all beings don’t care what you do with and to yourself — or in interactions with similarly consensual persons — so long as those activities do not negatively impact anyone else’s life, property, or pursuits. In other words: we should, individually, be able to do whatever we damn well please, so long as we don’t “break the bones or pick the pockets” of anyone not also voluntarily engaging in the same, said activities. The “PRAGMATIC” view understands that human nature is not so simplistic. A majority of humanity are going to choose “safety over liberty.” Most people prefer governmental remediation over free-market solutions . . . even though both are ultimately the product of HUMAN ideas and administration. How are humans who run big government any better than humans who run big corporations? How about humans first be allowed to “run themselves”— for better, or worse? . . . A CONSTITUTIONAL libertarian, but in no way associated with the Libertarian Party. While I hold many things in common with that Party, I have found them to be, well – a typical political party. As such, they are often prone to look more after the interests of the Party, above the interests of libertarianism, or the nation. One visit to a Party meeting, and you might see them more as a social club of political misfits and outcasts than a viable political force, with too many of the Libertarian Party stereotypes on full display. Most “small l” libertarians believe the Founding of the United States was the first true libertarian experiment, and our Constitution is more than just the law of the land, but the guiding framework for the type of small government to which we need return — limiting the interference of government into our lives, but also protecting our individual liberties.

Jennifer runs the podcast for J6 defendant and Oath Keeper Jeremy Brown, (a former Green Beret who the FBI tried to recruit as a 'confidential human source' in their investigation of the Oath Keepers), and we decided to share a joint discussion on our respective platforms. In this conversation we go over my daily coverage of the Oath Keepers trial, specifically talk about the cases of both Jeremy Brown, (not in this trial), and that of Ken Harrelson who is one of the defendants in the current Seditious Conspiracy trial now taking place. Jennifer asks great questions leading to my overall impression of how this trial is going, the problem of defending against a 'conspiracy' charge, (a 'thought crime'), which leads us to talking about George Orwell and many other aspects about what is taking place in our federal Department of Justice. We cover a lot of other territory as well, including Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. This podcast serves as my 'Day 7' review of the trial, and much more, including aspects of what happened on January 6 that most people have never heard about. Well worth your time!

It was an incredible day at the Oath Keepers trial, and this is the best 19-minutes of coverage you'll get, anywhere. Certainly better than the skewed MSM portrayal I've read tonight. Day 6 was a GREAT day for the defense. I mean . . . wow. Just, wow!

I wasn't able to get to my Day 4 summary on Friday because of a surprise lunch meet-up with the lead NY Times reporter on all the legal J6 issues. But, I get to that here, as well as a synopsis of the first week, in general.

HuffPo, CBS, Business Insider, CNN, and Reuters all fail to mention the most significant and BIZARRE witness the government put on the stand on Day 3 of the trial. The New York Times mentions him, but cleans up his testimony for public consumption, and only Politico mentions his conviction as a child sex offender.
