Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
With the latest revelation of massive FBI incompetence/corruption – turns out the G-men ended up not just screwing up the gymnastics pervert case but lying about it under oath – you have to wonder something. We keep getting told that the rank-and-file are A-OK, that it’s just a few bad apples up on the top floor who are framing people, botching investigations, not stopping mass killers, urging intrafamilial narcing, and busting LEGO insurrectionists. Fine, great, dandy.
So, where are all the good apples?
Who quit in protest?
Who resigned and went public?
Who said “No?”
If I was more technically savvy, this is where I would insert a GIF of a tumbleweed blowin’ across the range.
Your oath or your pension is the choice, and the pension seems to prevails almost every single time. Not always – here a Space Force light colonel sacrifices his command to tell the truth, there a teacher gets fired for refusing to indoctrinate his students. But it’s an anomaly, like we were told the bad apples are an anomaly. Abandon your delusion that the good apples shall soon rise up and put things right. Have you seen a tsunami of right-putting?
And not just at the FBI, an agency so utterly corrupted and broken that President DeSantis should fire the director, order all the agents to the streets to patrol for jaywalkers, then demolish the hideous HQ building and sow the ground beneath it with salt. No, the good apples shortage is everywhere in government, from the feds down to your local flatfoot. And its in our other institutions too.
Who was it who busted mommies for felony kids-not-wearing-face-thongs-while-alone-and-outside? It wasn’t that malignant gnome Fauci. It wasn’t some MSNBCNN Baghdad Bob. It was local cops who did the bidding of their masters when the bidding was obviously bullSchiff. But they did it. They did the bidding. And we can’t unsee it.
How about in colleges? We hear about how bad it is and how scared everyone is, and we learn that a lot of professors really, really don’t like this CRT fascism stuff. But with few exceptions, they do nothing. They censor themselves, conform, and hope that somehow this will all blow over.
How about the media? Where are the journalist good apples there who stand up for objectivity, truth, and not being the ventriloquist dummies of the DNC? Almost all we see are bad apples, or a pomme de terre in the case of Brian Stelter, who is a potato.
The same with our military, fresh off its ignominious defeat in Afghanistan. Name me the general or admiral who quit because of this CRT idiocy. Maybe some did quietly, just running out the clock and bailing, but have they stood up and called out the Kendi clique at the Pentagon? A bunch of vets in Congress just punched out a devastating report on how broken the Navy is – the answer is “very” – and the question that comes to mind is “Where were the leaders”?” The deadly nonsense that the report highlights did not just happen. It was the result of choices, including the choice not to shout “What the hell are you people thinking?”
Who made the choice to do that? No one. No, they made the choice to put their heads down and keep going, pretending to remain calm because all is well.
All is not well, not remotely.
Many serve in silence, grumbling to the few friends that they can trust. They know this is all wrong, but they have a mortgage and besides, if all the good apples leave, who is left?
But does it matter that the institutions are all bad apples if the good apples never do a damn thing to stop them?
No. What they do is buck up the institutions that we should let collapse from the weight of their own mendacity and failure. The good apples are enablers. Bad apples need the good apples. And the good apples are good little apples, showing up for work, following orders, mentally excusing themselves from their participation in the abominations that our institutions have become.
I guess it’s easy for me to tell some FBI guy with a kid in college assigned to bust granny tourist “insurrectionists,” or a two-star who always wanted to be a division commander and will get that gig if he just stays quiet about how the Army is turning into a bitter punchline, to do the right thing. I don’t have to pay the piper; they do. But then, they took an oath. They promised to do the right thing. No one ever said the right thing is easy. No one ever promised that the right thing won’t carry consequences. They signed up for that. And they should do it.
Is it easy for me to say? Yeah. Does that make it false? Nope.
Listen, everyone who is part of an institution – FBI agents, soldiers, journalists, professors, dog catchers, and whatever the hell they call the people in the Space Force. Stop enabling the rot. You must report the corruption and incompetence you see, loudly and publicly. You must stand up and say “No.” And maybe you even need to quit.
But you don’t get to be silently complicit and pretend you’re a good apple.

There are NO good apples working for the state. The state is predicated on violence, would not exist without violence, and everyone who works for the state is paid through violence and is therefor a supporter of that violence against the rest of us.
As the good Colonel says; there are Bad Apples and Enablers.
To all collecting that government paycheck and just watching the clock & calendar from local , state and federal from janitor to school teacher from department head to cop on the beat from elected to appointed from Washington DC to every state House and every county seat your employers that were the tax base that paid for your lucrative positions as you circle jerk about get your 20 plus in and skate with life left to live and the means to do it ! The jig is up the debt load to support you can no longer be carried and the job/wage tax base can never catch up for you so as your pay check or pension checks start bouncing don’t look at us and say SOMEBODY has to do something !
Welcome to the club of the hard working Americans that got tossed over board 50 years ago .
I hear there are thousands of $15 dollar per hour jobs and no benefits of course you will actually be expected to be accountable for performance and if you fall short your pay will be docked as you are now getting fucked over instead of benefiting from those fucked over & over for decades !
You broke it you bought it !
Pentragram = Pension whores. They all took the ticket. You don’t become one with evil and not be evil.
Golden handcuffs.
Simple, keep your head down until the first year is up to avoid getting cut.
After 15 years, a day off every 2 weeks for vacay, 11 Holidays plus 4 hours sick time per 2 week pay period.
Matching 401K up to a good % of salary.
Work at home plus earn credit time for working at home.
Stay at the Hilton @ government rate, free breakfast.
Frequent award dinners, yearly cash awards for ‘Performers.’
Constant training, currently ‘Perversity and’ White Man Bad.’
Locality pay bumps too.
Do the right thing, get shuffled off to BumFuk, doing mindless tedium, constant belittlement.
I used to think there were “good apples”, but have come to believe that today’s FBI is still just as corrupt as Hoover’s; using scores of private files to blackmail the powerful into supporting the bureau and crushing any average person in their wake. The only difference now is probably how they store those files. Whether it’s rolling in with 15 SUV-loads to storm a water delivery company, a guitar maker or a political party opponent, the overwhelming force routinely used speaks of corruption.
Who quit in protest?
Who resigned and went public?
Who said “No?”
“Your oath or your pension is the choice, and the pension seems to prevails almost every single time.”
The pension is the reason, notice how the teachers, police, judges etc., all stick together and vote and protect each others pensions. I figured this out to be fact 15 years ago.
The love of money, it looks like 99% of the time. Guess Ill have to change my name to 99%
Frank Serpico was one of the last examples of going against the cops etc. He took a bullet to the face for his good deeds .
You, and many others. I often wonder if Kurt Schlichter is beginning to realize that he’s at least a decade behind the curve on everything.
Curtsy Schpincter specializes in cheap outrage porn. Not an ounce of new info in there.
The expression is “a few bad apples spoil the barrel”. Unless you are relentless at removing bad apples you quickly end up with no good apples and you need to incinerate the whole spoiled organization.
Burn it all down and piss on the ashes.
A little too late for that question.
You think they asked this question in 1945?
If you’re part of a bad government, you are are the baddie.

It is always a big surprise, isn’t it?
To answer the question:
All the “good apples” go into Preznit Joe’s preferred mid-afternoon pre-nap snack of apple sauce.
Don’t discount the role of the CCP with it’s lucre, blackmail and appeal to Marxist ideologues and their fellow travelers:
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
Christians are to not only to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but (also) reprove them” (Eph. 5:11). Those who do nothing about sin and evil, help the sin and evil to prevail. One who is silent when there are those around him in sin becomes a partaker with them (Eph. 5:7).

Are they really good if they do nothing? You decide.
So a question to all of you, what should a person in my situation do? I am a low level officer in the military (think dumb Lt). I spend my time at work sitting in a dimly lit room sending emails reporting equipment issues. I am here because several years ago I signed a contract saying I would work for the military for a certain period of time in exchange for them paying my college tuition. If I knew then what the last couple of years would look like, I would not have done that, but I can’t undo it now. So what would a “good apple” in my situation do? Any suggestions?
