Seth Rich's co-worker Andrew Therriault wrote a memorial for Seth Rich which seems to end in a veiled threat (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Gilderoy

On the Analyst Institute's online memorial page for Seth Rich, there is a lovely recollection by Andrew Therriault about his co-worker Seth Rich, concluding with a strangely worded comment, which could be construed as veiled threat to anyone who might want to imitate Seth:

Seth had a habit of showing up at my desk looking lost, as if he had meant to go somewhere else and was surprised to find himself standing there. This happened regularly enough that I would tease him for it, but that moment of seeming confusion was really just a sign that he was about to ask a question that he knew would not have an easy answer. When he’d pop his head over the cube wall, I often chuckled and leaned back in my chair, knowing that I’d be stuck there for a while. But I loved those conversations, when we would talk at length about all sorts of topics—experiments, data collection, research design, modeling, field programs, and lots more. Across both politics and academia, I’ve never known anyone as eager to learn as Seth was. And so while we’ll all remember his fun, gregarious, and sometimes just-plain-goofy public side, I’ll also remember someone who cared so deeply about our work that he was always fighting to improve and grow and do more. We’ve lost one hell of a friend, brother, colleague, teammate, and patriot, but I hope his legacy will serve as an example to others who might step in to take his place.

If I had to guess I bet Andrew Therriault regrets his choice of words. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt of not knowing to what depth the depravity had gotten. You've got to remember many in this crowd believe "The Ends Justify The Means". That's how the frog was slowly boiled and eaten. They're inched along slowly, asked to lower their standards just a little. Oh ignore that one exception, it's all for a good cause after all. You've got to remember Donald Trump wants to make all women wear dog leashes and keep gay people in cages. So please disregard your conscience for the next 24 hours. And on and on.........

Sometimes you'll see this phenomenon referred to as "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.".

Unfortunately it gets worse. After you agree to lower your standards then you're asked to put on the blinders, followed by those old people wrap around sun glasses that hardly let any light in at all. Your future gets worse and worse but you still have to wear shades.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Fortunately we stopped it this time. But make no mistake, there's always another battle in this war. The best trick the devil ever played on us is convincing us he doesn't exist. We always win in the end though. Have no fear.
