Taliban Insurgency in Kentucky: Census worker hanged with ‘fed’ on body

[Joanne98]

“A U.S. Census worker found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word “fed” scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.”

The body was found in rural Clay County. The story speaks for its self, but here are some facts about Clay County from Wikipedia:

• The county’s per-capita income makes it one of the poorest counties in the United States.

• The county is the poorest that is majority non-Hispanic white.

• The racial makeup of the county was 93.92% White.

• The county has been solidly Republican for decades. .

• The county is a prohibition or dry county.

In wondering about this crime and the conservative climate of the crime, I am reminded of the recent remarks of Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) on Republic Party strategy:

“Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban…And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban — I’m not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that’s not what we’re saying. I’m saying an example of how you go about is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message…I simply said one can see that there’s a model out there for insurgency,”

1. People who do shit like that

are going to want their buddies to know what great patriots they are.

They're going to talk at some point and they're going to get caught.

Whether they're paranoid crank cookers, pot growers, moonshiners, or just good old boys hopped up on antigovernment paranoia from the far right fringe remains to be seen.

It will be seen, too, sooner or later.
