Still not entirely sure about this theory, but.

It cannot get any more direct other than doing the thing itself. Which they are doing, by the way. Who is keeping records of the cars, trucks, furniture, jewelry, electronics, etc of all the people they’ve black bagged and disappeared to their wildcat internment camps? No one. It starts small.

People. Please. We all already know Thos. Chatterton Williams says nothing of value to no one who cares. Consider his latest pre-dunked by all and sundry, and move on. The field's been played. The well is dry. The horse is dead. Move on.
