"Let's Pretend" is getting a little out of hand. A woman in Elkhart County pretending to be a Health Department employee showed up at a restaurant:
She provided a first name, but did not show any ID.
Health department officials say they do make unannounced inspections and investigate complaints, but they want to remind food service facilities that all workers carry county-issued picture identification.
[. . .]
No word on why the woman showed up.
Maybe she was trying to use the scam to get free food. Meanwhile, in a quiet suburb of the nation's capital:
Authorities say a Virginia woman pretended to be an FBI agent and conned her neighbors into taking jobs as her assistants.
Twenty-nine-year-old Brenna Reilly of Arlington was indicted by a federal grand jury in Alexandria last week on a charge of impersonating an FBI agent.
And you remember the Terre Haute city councilman who flashed his badge at another motorist and claimed to be a police officer. Now there's a case from Elkhart County in which a woman falsely claimed that a police impersonator raped her.
There is just too much of this happening all at once to be mere concidence. It has to be a concerted, coordinated effort to make us all doubt the legitimacy of any authorities we encounter. This will make us question the very idea of authority, so then we'll all stop paying our taxes and get our guns and join a weird Christian militia in Michigan to devise a way to get the American people to rise in violent opposition to everything the current administration stands for.
It's obviously just another ploy by the racist, homopobic, obsessed and deranged Tea Party members.
