Biden’s Billingsgate

May 1, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter Leave a comment

Who was that masked man? Why, he’s grown stranger…

President Biden is proposing to exceed the THIRTY TRILLION dollar debt level. What he suggests is not only partisan and disingenuous, but includes multiple effects that restrict and undercut capitalism. If he ever understood the relationship between debt, productive surplus and growth, he has forgotten it… along with Constitutional provisions and any semblance of American exceptionalism: down the memory hole.

Under his and other socialists’ direction, American will be exceptional again: among all industrialized nations we will lead the world in our concerted, legislated efforts to destroy our hard-won success and relinquish our sovereignty. Biden wants to “go big” – biggest fool, perhaps.

The only system that can both destroy debt and increase freedom, is free-enterprise capitalism. That is, NOT monopoly capitalism OR globalism, both of which concentrate money and power OUT of the hands of free citizens and OUT of the hands of their elected representatives – although not out of their pockets in many cases. Those must be stopped before it’s too late. Some serious trust-busting is essential to restoring America.

Practically, a clear course-correction would be to limit the level of corporate net-worths or levels of gross revenues that may donate ANY money to candidates or PAC’s – ANY money. Perhaps companies with $50 millions in assets or $25 millions in revenue or LESS, may donate, not larger. Also, companies that have government or military contracts may not donate. Then trust-busting could proceed.

Already we’ve experienced reduction in job and business growth – returning to pre-Covid levels – because excessive, socialist, “rescue” or “stimulous” payments are keeping people from returning to work! Work… where guided labor produces things, including taxes. We know where idiots… umm, ignore that… “progressives” think economic growth comes from: unemployment checks. Nancy Pelosi said so. Only as employment increases will freedom, independence and tax revenues increase.

People earning their own livings strengthen both responsibility and financial freedom. Having more taxpayers increases political freedom. 2020 has shown that weakening election laws weakens political freedom, and it disenfranchises citizens from our most fundamental and hard-won civil rights. Adding greater responsibility to the exercise of the franchise will clarify honesty in elections – a fundament of the American promise.

Back to what Biden has forgotten… if he ever knew it. Debt is a superb tool for growth, but not for maintenance – period.

Imagine a factory producing, say, refrigerators. Its lines are operating, workers are working and every unit that comes off the line is sold within days. In fact, there is a shortage of refrigerators; people are forced to devise meals for their families without foods that need refrigeration. People are denied good nutrition for lack of a high-enough rate of refrigerator production. Even if the government passed a law requiring more refrigerators to be made, only so many can be.

To upgrade the factory and machinery to produce a third more – a 33% increase – will cost $100 Million. Because the refrigerator company has made a profit over the past 15 years, of $30 Million after all expenses, cost of goods sold and payroll… and taxes, it is able to borrow, or gain a debt of $70 Million. They’ll be able to make a productive surplus of not $3 million, but $4 million per year at 133% of current production, since all costs won’t increase proportionately. Each refrigerator will cost a little less to produce with the new machinery and facility improvements. The $70 Million loan, combined with investment out of increased operating profits, will be paid back with interest to the lender, in less than 20 years.

The earning of profits – creation of productive surplus – enables “Refrigerators, Inc.” to become more productive and efficient, able to modernize, hire trainees who can become highly paid refrigerator builders, and pay taxes to support our civic institutions and even donate money to charitable causes. Productive surplus also enables the company to destroy debt – make it disappear – while increasing production, the only purpose of investment. That’s it. It’s NOT an investment to provide living expenses for people who do not work enough to support themselves or their families; it’s an emergency… it’s charity, not a way of life.

Meanwhile, everyone who wants a refrigerator can buy one – or, contrary to socialist dogma – go to work to earn enough to buy one.

Capitalism is the only process that can destroy debt or, in fact, make investments at all. All other bills incurred by a society that is complex, are paid, or financed, by the productive surplus of profitable, capitalist enterprises. All of government: schools, police fire departments, hospitals, military, public works… everything, is paid for from tax revenues that derive only from productive surplus in a profit-making economy.

The growing tragedy – growing weakness – is our habit of borrowing for current expenses from generations into the future, now to the tune of $28 Trillion. About one-third of our annual federal “budget” is borrowed, not paid from current revenues. This part of economics Joe Biden has not forgotten, even embraced: the lie of modern politics.

For a long time the U. S. borrowed real money… from banks, individuals and even other countries. The Treasury sold bonds: saving bonds, Treasury notes (“Treasuries”) of different maturities and yields. Investors used real money to “invest” in U. S. debt – one step removed from investing in future productive surplus, itself. This was bad enough; we lived beyond our means but we could afford the interest on those debts, not so much affording repayment of the loan principals.

Unfortunately we have worn out our welcome among real investors. Now we “borrow” from the Federal Reserve.

(See: http://www.prudenceleadbetter.com/2020/09/27/knife-edge-election/)

The “FED” is a private bank consortium that can legally “lend” us money they do not have – $Trillions of it. So, they lend us “air” and we pretend it’s money and pay interest on it. Oddly, the Federal Reserve is also granted power to set interest rates, which for a long time have been near 1%, God bless their charitable hearts. What will we do when they decide the rate should be 3%? On $10 Trillion? That’s $300 Billion in real money. That’s a lot of Meals on Wheels.

Wait a minute… wait a minute. Did I say, “$10 Trillion?” I meant $30 Trillion, if we fulfill Biden’s plans. Why, that would be $900 Billion… a YEAR… close to a $Trillion, itself – just interest! That’s a lot of everything, including our own defense. We literally cannot afford more multi-$Trillion spending plans; they are actually taxing plans.

Many in government believe these “air-debts” never have to be paid back! “We owe them to ourselves,” they think. Ooookaaaay… aren’t the UFO people going to usher in a new era of no worries? Oh, absolutely. And, Joe Biden is going to unite the country, end racism and borrow us into prosperity. And equity.

Green New Economics

May 1, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter Leave a comment

Finally, it has become clear. The apparent dichotomy of politicians getting elected in a capitalist-economy republic, who then appear to advocate and pass legislation that does severe damage to the economy as a whole and the to the economic freedom of voters, is actually completely logical, and not anti-capitalist in the slightest.

It’s a little brutal in terms of making economic, capitalist decisions, but one expects little less from avowed socialists. Unfortunately, American class socialists are about as aware of socialism’s impacts on people and history as, well… a crowd of fire hydrants. Plus, it turns out, they ACT just like capitalists. Funny.

Anyway, the “Green New Deal” has gained traction on the basis of saving the planet from, in order of importance, Republicans, industrialists, oil companies, gas companies, airplane companies, airlines, plastics manufacturers, Christians and most white people. Maybe.

Still the “Greens” are no longer small creatures from other planets, and they are very concerned about methane as a dangerous “greenhouse gas.” Along with decaying vegetation and white people, drilling for natural gas and normal releases of gas from Mother Earth, who makes oil and gas through tectonic subductions, which will be dealt with in legislation any day, now, cows… beef, dairy and sacred cows, are dangerous sources of methane! Farts! If we’d stop eating beef, cheese or drinking milk, we could stop raising cows and eliminate all that farting. Farts are destroying the planet! They certainly spoil a lot of social events and even some sexual activity, so you know what we’re talking about, only they also threaten the polar ice caps and cause polar bears to swim too much. (Secret news: Bears fart.)

Well, not to worry. The supposed socialists and communists who are opposed to cows and other Republican fart-generators, are simply playing the commodities market. The intention is beautifully capitalist: they are cornering the market on bullshit! Phew! Simple.

RACISM FOR LUNCH

April 21, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter 2 Comments

There’s no such thing as a free lunch: sounds Prudent – someone, somewhere, is paying for it. There’s no free racism, either, since someone is or soon will be, paying for it. Nation-wise, it’s damned expensive.

The ‘racism!’ accusation is pretty expensive, too, yet it’s tossed around like racism grows on trees. Wait, wait, wait… that advice comes from the old “… it’s not like money grows on trees, you know.” Usually it’s thrown up to someone who needs a lesson in economics. And, it’s good advice, too. Money has to be related to a value exchange; all it can be is a way to measure value, denoted in the fungible currency of the day.

Prudence advises us that racism doesn’t grow on trees, either, but it’s tossed around as if it does. Nothing backs it in terms of value except in the rarest of instances. Sadly, ‘Racism!” has become the currency of the day. It’s a little like the relative who opens every gift with the question, “How much did this cost? Do you have the receipt?” She (don’t ask, it’s always a she) also gives gifts with the price tag still attached or packed inside. The only way that person can judge or appreciate value is in terms of currency.

More and more, people – more and more people – cannot judge any other person without determining what level of racism, or anti-racism, adheres to that person. The value of the epithet is now so low that one might think that racism grows on trees. The trouble with racism, though, is that it’s a form of hatred: the more you give the more you get.

People who consider themselves “liberal” have suddenly become fully invested in racism currency, not because there is a tangible “R.O.I.,” but because the return is a thick coating of purity… of innocence. Those same declared “anti-racists” are, evidently, easily educated as to the widespread nature of racism among people who are not as anti-racist as themselves. In a mild form of “snitching” on racists around them, the anti-racists have begun to advertise their declared “anti-racism.” One can see the “Black Lives Matter” placards and the “Hate Has No Home Here” signs that imply that the homes without those advertised attitudes must be housing latent or actual racists.

The declared / advertised anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-Islamophobic attitudes are, in fact, an attempt at the fabled “free lunch.” Primarily posted by white liberals, they contain an unspoken hope that when riots reach their street, their house will be safe… or their business, or their cars. Little do they realize that the racism they claim to be opposed to with all their hearts, is already being directed straight at them: their skin is the wrong color.

“But, but… I’ve got a ‘BLM’ placard in my window! We’re of the same heart and mind as you. We hate whites, too!” What? Don’t they know there’s no such thing as a free lunch? Next thing you know, white liberals are voting for any politician with brown skin, donating money to “BLM” and other black/brown-centered charities, and holding signs protesting “systemic” racism that they knew was lurking out there, even on their own streets: look at all the houses that don’t proclaim anti-racism. Racism became a mirror.

Politically, and that is ALL that is truly on the table, here, “racism” means power. That is the currency that eventually exacts a very high price for the proverbial “free lunch.” There is no such thing as a non-racist society anywhere in the world. Actual racists, who have manipulated soft Americans into believing racism is rampant here, are holding out a gaseous premise that racism can be “fixed” or “eliminated” by a universal hatred of whites. In their view – we’re talking “Black Lives Matter,” here – any rules or standards that whites attempt to live by, are so racist that black and brown people don’t have to abide by them.

Maybe that last paragraph got by you without a lot of reflection or thought. “BLM,” a communist-inspired, anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish and anti-family terrorist organization, is saying that any part of current social-cultural structure that is comfortable for white people, is so racist and foul, that it cannot be reformed and must be torn down – burned down if convenient – and replaced with the global communist dream, dominated by black and brown people. Prudence isn’t making this up – they’ve said virtually these words. There’s no free lunch, or anti-racism, in any currency.

All the placards and rainbow flags a house or yard has room for will not insulate any avowed “anti-racist” from that change. Moreover, since they are white, the spoils of “BLM’s” victory, should we stupidly permit it to come to that, will not be shared equally with anyone who is the wrong color.

Racism is normal. It’s not equitable, per se; “equity” is unrelated to racism. The only value a Constitutional republic can offer is equality: equality of opportunity. No one, as in not any person or official of any sort – no teacher, no coach, no drill instructor… not even any parent or pair of parents, can cause even two people to produce or earn or perform EQUALLY. No one. Equity implies that the results of equal opportunity are unequal because of racism, and not just crappy racism embodied in hatred of someone of one race by someone of another – bad enough – but, no, the results are unequal because of systemic racism, a blight that not only cannot be defined, but cannot be reformed.

Some truly innovative fantasies – lies, we call them – must be sold to a lot of people in order to even begin to approach the nirvana of a world without racism. Fantastic because such a world is impossible, has never existed and at the cost of millions of lives, has only been set aside temporarily except… except where people are free to worship as they wish and to perfect themselves as their individual happiness leads them. Only one place on earth has ever formed a government intended to create and maintain such a place of freedom and of equality… of opportunity.

The problem is, we haven’t fulfilled our own founding, at least, not completely. We were well on our way in the fities and sixties, but the rotten hand of leftism-socialism, often a problem for freedom in our middle century, but a threat to it only since LBJ, has almost completely shredded the fabric of freedom and responsibility, attainment and merit and even of morality. Certainly it has shredded Judeo-Christianity. Now it has weakened our ability to resist so carefully that the United States can barely afford to defend itself should it come to that. For shame, Nancy, Chuck, Barack and the rest of you, demons.

Has anything they espouse resolved racism? Not in the slightest, for they are employing hated-filled racism to fight unthinking racism. Not that racism can be eliminated. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said in a speech to the Massachusetts Great and General Court, that “…no law can make a man love me, but it can keep him from killing me.” He summed it up nicely. Government can enforce only civility, and it may adjudicate only injustice – it cannot “create” justice or enforce “fairness.” Nor are those its duties. However, an assault on one’s person, interference with his or her civil rights (including rights enumerated in the Constitution), theft or destruction of his or her property, various frauds, libels and so forth, provide a more than adequate basis for enforcing and protecting civil order. No American citizen, for any reason, should be made to bow down or kneel before anyone else, or be forced by threats of violence or loss, to swear to any idea he or she does not believe. How can people elected to lead in the United States, twist their beliefs to the extent that they can approve of or encourage the blatant subjugation of one race by another?

With hate now a political tool, principles and beliefs can be discarded, apparently. Ask our 46^th “president.” Every principle he has espoused throughout his “campaign” and since winning the certifications by enough states to claim the presidency, is new. Over the nearly 4 decades he became wealthy in the House and Senate, Joe Biden stated, repeatedly, completely opposite principles to those he now governs by. It seems Prudent to wonder what sort of a man can completely change his beliefs after age, 60, say, or even after 50 years of age? An unusual one, to say the least, if not a scurrilous bastard.

Joe Biden embodies the high cost of anti-racism as government policy. Since it is impossible to achieve an anti-racist society, increasing levels of government are needed to pursue it and impose it. That is to say, fascist socialism, which has nowhere to go but to communism. Scratch an anti-racist agitator and the next layer reveals a fascist.

There is no free lunch.

THE ANT AND THE OLD MAN

April 18, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter Leave a comment

Aesop’s Fables include a most telling description of the values of sacrifice and, in truth, of love. In the little morality play the grasshopper is portrayed with a fiddle, which he has played all summer, eating such vegetation as he fancied whenever he was hungry. The Ant, however, has been stocking his larder (his / her, it’s hard to tell) all during the summer – busy, busy, busy, foregoing simple pleasures in order that the more vital pleasure of eating during the winter might be made certain. Very Prudent. Old Aesop, there, knew far more than he let on.

One could, if one had a tendency to draw parallels, observe that Socialism and Communism – grasshoppers or locusts, take your pick – and the emerging, barely United States of America, are less and less ant-like and more and more grasshopperish. This is nowhere more starkly true than in the matters of marriage and children.

So, what came first? The grasshopper or his / her, it’s hard to tell, thousands of eggs? Did we “reason” our way away from religion first, or did we destroy family economics first? And, by destroying economics, who are we serving? Qui bono? The result – or coincidence in the “minds” of ruling grasshoppers – is that fewer two-parent families are being formed, fewer children are being born and those who are allowed birth (pay no attention to the 62 Million Americans aborted in the past 50 years; nothing to see there… any longer) are less and less likely to be raised by two parents, and less by two parents married to each other. Those who are born are also more likely to be only children or have no more than one sibling.

Those who marry are marrying later: late 20’s, early 30’s, with fewer high-fertility years ahead, having waited for more favorable economic circumstances before relinquishing one of their careers for child-rearing.

There are surely a whole lot of intercourse and other sex acts going on, but not for procreation purposes. Children are, well, “too expensive.”

First and foremost, having little kids cuts into the fun two young, possibly sexy, career-advancing big kids want to have. Little by little we have “advanced” adolescence into a third decade. “Kids” are just getting out of 4, 5 or 6 years of college (not always confused with higher education) with loans to pay off and vacations to take. What with medical science these days, there’s “plenty of time” to start a family when “we have time.” We’ve been in school for 20 years and we want to “live” a little before we have kids of our own. A grasshopper could not have said it better.

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Didn’t Prudence just shift allegories there? What have babies to do with storing food for the winter?

Well, winter can be a long time coming and once an old person… or couple, realizes that winter has found him, her or them, it’s too late to sacrifice for the future. There is only one sacrifice, one expression of love that can prepare people for their eventual winter: children who love them. It’s not food in the larder or cars in the driveway. It’s not a paid-up mortgage or a substantial nest egg (bad choice of words, there: the nest is empty) or a time-share in a beautiful location. And those are all nice things, marginally better than reaching one’s childless winter with minimal resources… but only marginally.

The fundamental truth that becomes starkly obvious at age 60 or 70 or older, with no children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren to care about you, is that no hired caretaker, no temp agency, no government program, can take the place of your progeny whom you have loved and who have loved you for 30, 40, 50 or 60 years. Go ahead, try finding one. Ask anyone near your age who lives alone and lonely, if the VNA nurse or home-health aide is “just like having a loving child caring how your doing?”

The grasshopper / locust (like a grasshopper, but meaner) “played” when he / she (hard to tell) was young, and failed to prepare for the future that was surely coming, when food no longer grew underfoot. Like every grasshopper, our subject dies in the end, friendless, no doubt, but probably not childless, grasshopper-wise. His children cannot and could not help him in the winter of his old age – same as having no children at all. A childless winter can be bleak.

The phenomenon of too few children to even replace normal death rates in a population, means that said population will fairly quickly: 2 to 3 generations, 50 to 75 years – become too small to plot its own economic or cultural path to the future it desires. Several populations or nationalities are fading, now. Along with white North Americans, Japanese, Russian, Scandinavian and Northern European and U. K. populations are failing to replace themselves. At the same time a variety of wars and crappy policies have yielded broad emigrations of non-white and non-Judeo-Christian refugees into historically “white” and Christian nations and cultures. It is an historic “double-whammy.”

Despite the flood of anti-white, anti-Judeo-Christian calumny over the last 4 to 5 decades, most virulently over the past dozen years, increasing to abject destruction and politically supported hatred of whites and Asians, Jews and, now Christians, the overarching history of “white,” largely Jewish and Christian development and growth, is one of steady and imperfect progress: intellectual, scientific, experimental, exploratory, democratic and republican and, eventually, the basis for individual, not group freedoms. Throughout there has always been a force – or set of forces – desirous of reigning in freedom, dominating it with monarchy and other tyrannies, and with wars.

There is no reason to expect that the dispersion of “white” progress along with the irrelevance of shrinking white populations, is going to lead to a new age of increased freedom, economic or otherwise, certainly not of religion, and certainly not in an individual sense. The alternative to the ideas and ideals of America – to date the epitome of freedom and personal responsibility in that long flow of Judeo-Christian history – appears to be rigid, top-down group-identity governance on a global, not national, basis.

There are only a few threads and patches left in that grand tapestry. It frays daily. Judeo-Christian history is also the epitome of self-destruction, commencing with the inculcation of new beliefs in the wrongness of everything “white,” Judeo-Christian and Euro-centric – everything Constitutional, in effect. This new belief structure, hastened by destructive, socialist economics, convinces young, white “Westerners” to not bring more children into this world.

Those of us who have the good fortune of not having been aborted, face only a long, cold winter of increasing loneliness, for we have failed to lay up treasure for our futures, in the persons of children who love us and to whom our heritage might have been entrusted.

March 29, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter Leave a comment

When Barack Hussein Obama entered the White House, millions of Americans were hopeful that a new chapter of the American story was being written: our first “black” president and his wonderful opportunities to heal old racial divisions and wounds. It didn’t work, obviously, but the hope was there. Obama’s foreign policy was sold as “minimalist,” or the harder to comprehend, “leading from behind.” The operating theme, though, throughout the West Wing, was summed up as “Don’t do stupid shit.”

Obama thought the war in Iraq, for example, was stupid, as were other actions in Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen, among others. One might speculate if his concerns were national or Islamic, but the directive applied: Don’t do stupid (stuff).

As cute as it sounded in its simplistic wisdom, the directive didn’t seem to take, generally. If the admonition were backed by real intent, it might be assumed that the new administrators were well-advised to not do stupid stuff anywhere, foreign or domestic. Yet, within a few months the somewhat narcissistic new President felt compelled to opine on the arrest of his friend, Louis Gates, in Cambridge, Mass. Although proper police procedures had been followed, including asking Mr. Gates to leave the house, a potential crime scene, Gates resisted sufficiently that he was taken into custody until facts could be ascertained. To some, particularly Gates, a Harvard professor, the arrest was racially motivated: white cop, black suspect. Obama, when queried by a reporter, declared that it was racial and that the “police had acted stupidly.”

Don’t do stupid (stuff), Mr. President. Hadn’t you heard that directive? Obama’s very thin veneer of racial healer dissolved, if it ever really existed in the heart of someone who didn’t respect the U. S. Constitution, to which defense he had so recently sworn. Along with dozens of Cabinet and other appointments, like Eric Holder as Attorney General, the ability of the chief administrator to do stupid (shit) was never again in question. From the A. C. A., to opening the southern border, gifting the Queen of England with a DVD of his own speeches, passing “stimulus” legislation to finance “shovel-ready jobs,” to making Hillary Clinton a Secretary of State, even his selection of Joe Biden as V. P., stupid stuff became the hallmark – if not the bulwark – of the Obama administration. The Paris “accords” and the illegal Iran Nuclear Agreement, never mind removing Muhammar Qaddafi from Libya, the “Arab Spring” and Benghazi, are levels of stupidity that we need not plumb to confirm our Prudent assessment.

Joe Biden’s only flirtation with executive authority was his eight years as Vice President with Obama. Contrary to the 2009 directive, Biden absorbed the active experiences of the Obama administration: do all the stupid stuff you can if it irritates Republicans and bitter clingers to guns and Bibles.

The miraculous victory of the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020, against all odds and voter registration statistics, simply unleashed a later version of the Barack Obama administration: Communism on the cheap, one could say. The utter stupidity pattern is freshly released upon an hopeful public, ready for a non-abrasive, non-Tweeting, insider-friendly, nearly non-verbal President. A few mistakes are expected of every new administration; signing 40 stupid, somewhat illegal Executive Orders is right in line with what millions of people were taught that Donald Trump had done. Hey, it’s old Lunch-bucket Joe’s turn to be stupid – he and Kamala “won” the election – or the certifications, at least – and “elections have consequences,” as Biden’s Constitutional Professor of Stupid once declared during an earlier Republican irritability phase. Joe has paid his dues, Democrats think, we think, for nearly 50 years, and he’s always wanted to be president, after all. So, it’s like, his turn. “C’mon, man.”

Given the inherent competition among politicians, there seems to be a race between Good Ol’ Joe and his nearly black benefactor of eight years’ duration. So long as invisible Rasputins keep placing executive orders beneath the Presidential pen in 2021, Joe will win the stupid-shit race he imagines he’s in. Among the 40 or so executive actions he’s already signed, Biden has reversed well over 100 policies that president Trump had put in place – policies that were working well and enabling a phenomenally dynamic economic expansion, while increasing national security: “America first.” There are barely enough electrons available to catalog the “stupids” that Ol’ Joe managed to effect in only two months. Congratulations, Joe! Looks like you won another election.

Just winning, however, is never enough for “progressives:” they have a need to rub their opponents noses in the stupid (stuff) they do. For his part, Joe is never to be outdone. Indeed, he has decided to lie about the stupid stuff he does, even if he’s not completely certain what that is. Do you suppose it’s his opinion that we’re ALL stupid? Maybe. Surely he wouldn’t appoint people to tell him to lie about stupid shit they talked him into, would he? After all, if HE believes what he says is true it can’t actually be a lie, can it?

Say it ain’t so, Joe! Say it ain’t so…

EDU-TYRANNY

March 20, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter Leave a comment

Americans aren’t stupid. Some are a lot more clever, or educated, or skillful, or depraved than others, however. Some, who have seen their greatest personal opportunity within a legalized government employee union environment, now tightly – and politically – protected by law, eventually gain both economic freedom and inordinate influence. Most Americans, perhaps 98% of us, never gain similar advantage and, until the Covid “plan-demic,” never grasped what we have allowed to happen. Our subservient position is becoming clearer.

There are multiple tyrannies at issue.

Not only taxpayers but every parent and other providers of product to “public” school systems, has awakened to the tyrannies of public employee unionization, made sharply clear by the machinations of teachers’ unions. We who PAY for public schools, by law and state police powers, have learned that we have no control whatsoever, personally or through our elected “representatives” or through the “experts” we have hired to “manage” “our” governments. It’s humbling. The people “we” have hired and pay lavishly to “educate” our children, are exposed as our education “rulers.” They, not we, will determine both curricula and process. No longer shall our children be reinforced in the best of life’s lessons as we impart at home; they will learn what odd theories of social reformation and anti-American psychology that they, our education rulers, agree with. No longer will the routines of school and vacation be followed if we, your education rulers, don’t like them. No longer will your children be permitted into the same rooms that we inhabit if we, on our own, decide that there may be the slightest threat to our health or safety… and you will pay us according to our negotiated contract, including scheduled raises, while we ponder our next demands.

Well, that’s a fine “how do you do?”

Suddenly, teachers have become more powerful than our elected “representatives,” so-called, and the government created by we the people, is powerless to correct this destructive imbalance. To whom can an economically assaulted citizen/parent turn for redress of grievance? Well, no one.

Let us imagine, then, an actually representative government. Can you imagine what such a rare construct might do on our behalf? Can you imagine what it might do with regards to “public” education?

First, (and one can only dream of any government in the United States today, having the testicular fortitude) such a government representing the values and interests of its citizens, would arbitrarily de-certify its local teachers union on the basis of an undeclared and illegal strike. That is, since the jurisdiction had not failed to uphold the terms, financial and otherwise, of the existing contract with teachers, it had within its inherent rights the power to suspend a collective contract and offer individual contracts to teachers who were prepared to go to work at the next earliest opportunity. That jurisdiction would also have an obligation to fulfill state laws requiring a set number of days of school attendance by every school-age child in residence. At the same time, the jurisdiction would assume the obligation to protect any individual and family thereof from retribution in any form under the guise of a negotiated “contract” that was abrogated by union-enforced action.

In the event that not enough formerly contracted teachers agree to go back to work to fill basic minimum teaching slots, the jurisdiction could temporarily open up teaching slots to anyone with sufficient background in or love of subject matters to enable a temporary fulfillment of educational minimums as part of an emergency declaration. Meanwhile students would return to classroom instruction, do homework, pass tests and matriculate as able. Between school “years,” certified teachers could be hired individually to round out the teaching staff as appropriate. A lot would be expected of a highly compensated Superintendent and his or her staff to make sure that proper education was accomplished, but, but… just imagine.

Superintendents and other supervisors who are incapable of managing the system without kow-towing to a teachers union, could be replaced.

Then, we might imagine that every student would be taught to read, comprehend, write logical, well-constructed sentences and coherent essays in legible longhand, and to calculate and reason algebraically. Simultaneously those same potential adults would learn American and World History, civics and citizenship and the truth, good and bad, about our exceptional Constitutional limits on central government.

Unfortunately, that last paragraph is a dream too far.

Disappointing even to most of his “supporters,” Joe Biden’s administration has undertaken to separate Americans from our heritage and founding – even the founding principles – at a rate that frightens every non-communist, which is to say, most of us. Communism and other shades of leftism never rests. It has a single enemy as old as time, God, and with equal enmity the left fights a single permutation of God, manifested in Jesus Christ: Freedom. To the left – many democrats included – freedom is achievable only by “freeing” ourselves FROM God. It’s a twisted belief, but an obvious one.

Biden, himself, Ol’ Lunch-Bucket Joe – father was a miner from hard-scrabble Scranton, PA (which he wasn’t despite Joe’s campaign speech to that effect in his first try for President) – that Joe, fancies himself a Catholic… like the Pope. He could be right about that, although Joe lies for a living and Pope Francis, one hopes, is merely confused about socialism and Jesus’ teachings. Yet President Joe signs “executive orders” willy-nilly and endorses legislation that is as anti-religious, specifically anti-Christian, as one might imagine. His handlers in the White House close Joe’s fingers around the pen and place documents before him and, like a lifetime Capitol Hill parasite who has never been particularly responsible for the consequences of bills he’s voted for, he signs them and smiles as someone arrives to guide him to the most appropriate doorway.

Fortunately, President Biden hasn’t wet his pants in public, yet, but one can sense that inevitability. On the other hand, he may have access to official “Depends” undergarments with the Presidential Seal on them.

Joe’s friends and supporters don’t like Christians. They see them as potential insurrectionists and racists, homophobes and science-deniers. On the other hand, his people have a high tolerance for fallen Catholics like Joe and Nancy Pelosi and many, many others who have swallowed the grand lies of abortion as a Constitutional right, and sermons as potential hate-speech. The Bible is about how to live and protect life as the chalice of the soul, suggesting appropriate punishments for those who take life or damage it. Erasing new life hasn’t any connection to God’s Word… or to His Son. Like Saint John Lennon sang, “All you need is love, love…” – a song best appreciated after a couple of soul-numbing tokes.

Joe is big on solutions to the BIG problems, like Covid-19 and vaccinations and face masks and lock-downs. He couldn’t give a tinker’s dam about peaceful protests, fires, looting, assaults, murders, destroyed businesses or businesses lost due to ineffective lockdowns, especially lockdowns of church services. The issue is stopping Covid at literally every cost. Tearing down statues of historically significant personages, including Jesus, Mary, priests and abolitionists is nothing to the greatest vote-getter in American history. Besides it’s anti-racist, so there.

We are watching an unprecedented – not to mention un-Presidented – tragic-comic play on the Washington stage. It’s comic because of the frequent gaffs and mental lapses evinced by our erstwhile 46^th president. Watching it play out one quickly transcends the sense of comedy to one of shame at having made fun of a senile old man; then one begins to sympathize, if not pity, the circumstances of this poor individual, as he is propped up for purposes too dark to contemplate, by a relative handful of people placed in positions of influence not so much by Biden, himself, but by someone else attempting to guide the direction of the entire United States: tragedy.

And we have all been part of this intense weakening of the United States, for shame. In the immediate sense the voters – and election officials – of Georgia, have the most to answer for. Donald Trump shares their blame for the very questionable loss of the last two Senate seats of the 2020 elections. It is hard to imagine that the fate of the “free” world lay in the hands of just two flawed Senate candidates whose election would have formed a bulwark against Communism and the death of a nation. Two scoundrels were elected, instead. Trump irritated Republicans who may have provided enough votes to overcome the voting-fraud machine of Stacey Abrams and the host of her confederates who employed the same criminal election thievery they’d employed in the general election. Shame on all of us for not fighting the impending thievery long before November 3^rd.

In any case, we are now staring into the barrel of an anti-Christian cannon loaded with explosive ideas from the pits of Marxism, which is to say, Satanism. Sadly, the cannon is loaded and aimed by our own government… the one the justifying documents of which promises We the People religious freedom, freedom to assemble, a free press and freedom of speech, along with a host of other rights and freedoms in a document replete with “negative freedoms,” as so-called “Constitutional professor,” Barack Obama referred to them. He was lamenting the fact that our constitution failed to promise gifts from the government, mainly because his viewpoint was twisted by Communism at an early age. Then “we” elected him president, sworn to uphold that same Constitution, twice. That he didn’t uphold it, particularly, we let slide, since his skin was the most approved shade.

So many disappointments, so few ways for Americans to control the course of freedom. Fixing our system that now injects tyranny as the solution to every named problem, names limited only by the imagination of assholes, becomes more complex by the hour. Mildly courageous Republicans think we can “fix” our election processes so that they can’t be stolen. The rest of them will accept any system that keeps them in comfortable positions. Democrats have figured out how complicated it can be to undo a stolen election and they are filing legislation to make theft of elections the “law of the land.”

Meanwhile, haters have taken over our public schools, displaying their hatred by refusing to work anyplace that might not be pristine enough for their fragile butts. Damn the lot of them. Yet no one has had the strength to de-certify the teacher union that’s got the public by the throat in their town. It would be Prudent to fire them all, institute an America-loving curriculum, teach kids to read, write and calculate, along with fair and thorough history, and open up the teaching positions to any non-abuser who knows or loves a subject area. If necessary, the municipality could deputize gun owners to stand guard against ANY authority, including courts, that would attempt to force the town to back down on decently educating its children. Fat chance, but it would be nice.

Finally, what do we do about the interlopers now squatting in the White House? The “election” should be reversed. Egregious thievery cannot be rewarded, although our gutless “Supreme” Court is afraid to say so, even on clear Constitutional questions. Who can kick them out? All the ceremonies in the world can’t change the underlying dishonesty of the Biden gang’s claim of presidential authority. Do we have to accept this fraud? If the miracle occurs, what would be the status of any actions “President” Biden has taken? Does America have to accept fraud-based decision-making and live under changes we didn’t legitimately vote for? Are we a Republic of Thieves?

Poor Joe Biden and his cruel wife have about 2 to 3 months to go before he “retires” for health reasons. Communists will say he is a hero of the Revolution; Black Lives Matter will spit on his legacy because way back the Robinette family owned slaves. Then, since we had a ceremony that claimed Joe was a real president, Kamala Harris will claim to be a real President, too. One might advise that we should “hold on to our freedoms” when that happens, but we don’t seem interested any longer. God save America.

CITADEL OF LIES – PART 2

February 21, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter Leave a comment

CITADEL OF LIES – Part II

January 6, 2021 was a day in the life of freedom, our fragile system of human self-perfection and responsibility, that exposed not the risk to America from conservatives, but from established leftist vipers. That establishment was and is represented – publicly – by Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, a strange person to say the most.

What happened? American citizens, convinced by the flood of evidence of astounding election fraud engineered within and without the United States, primarily by China, massed in Washington, D. C. to protest the imminent congressional certification / acceptance of fraudulent election results that were about to award the presidency and vice-presidency to the Joe Biden, Kamala Harris team. The U. S. has sunk to its lowest point.

Evidently, groups of actual troublemakers had fulfilled their long-intercepted plans to attack the Capitol under the guise of disappointed Trump supporters. The help requested by the chief of the Capitol police – the same help President Trump had offered to provide well in advance of the January 6^th rally, had been denied by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, under whose office the security of the Capitol rests. Why would someone in her exalted position deny guarantees of safety for those who rely upon her for protection?

One theory is that the thrilling possibility of an event like the breach of the Capitol had such future political value for those like Mrs. Pelosi who are happy to demonize anyone who clings to the promise and premise of the United States. First, Trump provided a focus for hatred – a revolting, dangerous political energy – and the opportunity to tie Trump derangement syndrome to “insurrection” was worth the risks from facilitating the breach. That’s just a theory, of course that neatly associates all the odd circumstances.

People at the rally report that the closer they got to the Capitol the less the crowd felt like the rally crowd. People, men, mostly, in camouflage outfits and wearing vests and helmets were agitating for an attack. Some had pro-Trump hats but seemed more interested in assault than in protest. At least a few, it has been revealed, were connected to “Antifa,” an organization whose views are closer to Nancy Pelosi’s than to Donald Trump’s… or to Prudence Leadbetter’s for that matter. Indeed, those worthies had begun the assault on the Capitol long before Trump had finished his rally speech. No matter.

The resulting media storm, cries of “insurrection!” and “murder” of a Capitol Police officer who died of natural causes well after the assault, and the death of an actual unarmed – like every other entrant – Trump supporter who followed the crowd into the building and was shot by an officer who had likely never been in as stressful a situation as was allowed to develop by Nancy Pelosi for the foulest reasons an American could imagine, was utterly predictable. And it was all Trump’s fault, requiring his impeachment.

It’s only a theory, but once the machinations, intrigue, subterfuge, lies and treason needed to subvert a presidential election were proven successful, and virtually impossible to overturn, investigate or correct, then the opportunity to completely take over the future of the United States was made clear to the radical left, and to Mrs. Pelosi who will lie down with any suitor who proclaims her to be a great leader. The razor-wire-topped fence around her Capitol is a fitting symbol of the new American order. Here and there a smattering of logic and justice may appear, like the “acquittal” vote, but it is not of much concern to our new masters.

No longer a Capitol of a free, self-governing people, the complex of outrageously costly buildings atop Capitol Hill is, in fact, a citadel from which our Democrat dictators will rule in safety. Theoretically, we may have voted in the last election and the façade of the Republic will fall off in pieces , exposing the ugliness about to hatch.

It’s only a theory that ties together all the evidence, but real Americans can pray that it is proven wrong.

THESE AREN’T FOLLIES

January 30, 2021 Prudence Leadbetter 2 Comments

The once and nevermore defenders of average Americans, laborers and factory workers, and rock-solid, patriotic citizens, ready to sacrifice for their country when the call came to do so, are shedding their snakes’ clothing. With the burying of a most questionable set of elections for presidential electors in 2020, the once-proud Democrat Party has shown itself capable of undermining everything it once stood for, while actively denigrating those very principles, and of forming the most tawdry allegiances with uber-wealthy technology companies and Wall Street globalists… all in the name of “social justice” and “equity.” To make it all work, much like the National Socialists did in post-Weimar Germany, they have needed a universal hate-focus, a common enemy to the poor and oppressed for whom Democrats will fight to the last fetus.

Fairly described as the party of death, Democrats have set forth on a long march toward socialist Godlessness, convinced that Communism executed by those as clever as they will finally work to the benefit of “the masses,” with whom we all shall identify as soon as power is delivered to Democrats’ hands. There will be many deaths along the way, should defenders of the American idea stopping fighting for the life and lives of our wonderful experiment in freedom.

The most obvious, however mis-identified deaths, are those of millions of aborted babies, of which the largest losses per capita are sustained by black and brown people. “Black Lives Matter,” which are believed by Democrats to be allies of theirs, whereas the opposite relationship is believed to be the case by “BLM” Marxists, care only for headline deaths, numbering fewer than 20 each year, where Blacks fatally encounter police officers. Those events justify killing other police of whatever skin color or ethnicity, along with those killed in the course of peaceful protests. The hundreds killed each year in major cities by other blacks are of no concern of theirs: no headlines, no “racist” angle to milk.

The tens of thousands killed by Planned Parenthood (major Democrat donors, they) and a few other “clinics” each year, are invisible to “BLM.” At the same time, “BLM” is solidly behind opening the borders to unrestricted immigration, despite its clearly negative impacts on the lives of black workers and families. We should follow these boobs… question mark.

Patriotism has become the wearing of masks, the mistrust of every other human and twisted sexual identities. So-called immigrants are somehow more valuable than Americans or their ability to earn a living without government help. We are literally borrowing the so-called money to purchase our new slaveholding masters. Conservatism is being shut out of the public square as it has been for years at our institutions of so-called learning. A new administration is wasting no time in stripping away “America first” and replacing it with the American province, just one in the great big global family. Joe Biden doesn’t know whether to salute or get off the pot. We should follow that boob, too.

Our feckless “free press” can barely catch its breath between slobbering sycophancies, so caught up in their revelry over the defeat of America first-ness and that gauche making-America-greatness stuff. If they can possibly help Senator Schumer convict Trump of whatever he did that Democrats don’t like, all extra-constitutional-like, they certainly will, touting the tiny statistics of the storming of the practically unprotected Capitol, over and over, inversely to their ignorance of the Antifa/BLM riots of the past 10 months. We’ll be living in strange times for a couple of years, if not decades, boys and girls.

Every one of you, and you all know exactly who you are and what you did to make it appear that Biden won the election, will fade into history memorialized as the people who brought America to its knees, electing a crime family and a communist to the most powerful job on earth, not that it will be that for long. When China takes Taiwan and Ol’ Uncle Joe puts his mask on to mumble some crap about it always having been part of China, anyway, democracy be damned, you all can congratulate one another, you Quislings.

As the Harris-Biden administration completes its overturning of justice and Constitutionality to keep any pesky Patriots from ever gaining power again, everyone who rioted or packed ballots counts in 2020 and on January 5^th 2021, can take solace, as America ceases to matter much, that you did your part.

We had a good run, we crazy Americans, believing that we could govern ourselves by Constitutionally limiting the powers of the Federal government that We the People created. You, all, don’t even recognize the truckloads of socialist crap we’ve already accepted, perhaps worshipped. That $26,000,000,000,000 debt should keep it fresh in your minds. If Democrats succeed in adding on a couple of Trillions or more to that total, everything will suddenly become better, fairer, greener and egalitarian. Anyone in the new Administration who can financially walk and chew gum at the same time, is much lauded by the “press” as a breath of fresh air compared to those awful troglodytes in the awful Trump awful administration. This doesn’t include the president or vice-president; it is Prudent that they don’t allow Good Ol’ Joe Biden to chew gum, anyway.

There is quite a crackdown on conservatives and anything they might say or agree with. Communists are intensely consistent with their plans and steps to subdue dissent: never allow it – the Party is infallible. This quaint viewpoint doesn’t allow much wiggle room for religions, scriptures or individual sovereignty. The Chinese, whom the new administration intends to emulate, have proven that society runs so much more smoothly with just one party holding power. And, none of that checks and balances baloney, either. No “power-sharing with states; no independent judiciary; no trying to set an example of honesty, freedom or democracy for other nations. That last is nearly abolished through mis-education. Society runs so much more smoothly with just one party in one country holding power. That country won’t be the United States, one party or not. Most of the “free” world has borrowed into China’s hegemony… what in God’s name are we holding out for? Bigger TV’s? Green energy?

Lunchbucket Joe from the dingy mines of Scranton, PA isn’t wasting his limited time leaving “America First” in the dustbin of history. He knows his days and weeks are numbered. They’ll retire him a hero of the working ”Joe” who always “fought” (is that incitement?) for the little guy against the big, bad, anti-union corporations like…, well, like, like Amazon! And Twitter and…, and… Google, for crying out loud! [Ahh, Joe…, umm, those are our friends… the ones that suppressed Hunter’s laptop story and gave us all that money and hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of vote suppression. Joe gets that steely, hard look in his eyes, furrows his mighty brow and leans in closer. “Hunter had sex with a laptop?” he asks.]

In any event, lots of leftists / Democrats / well-known reporters and anchor-people, have been asking the tough questions – mostly of one another: “How could we start the necessary de-programming / re-education of Trump supporters?” The 60% of the United States, including the 20% that normally don’t care much, who are opposed to such gulag tactics, think we are poking fun at the jackasses who ask and ponder questions like that. But there is no fun connected to them, at all. Those people are seriously asking and Lord knows they have many sympathizers among the weirdo’s Biden is naming to various posts of power.

The Trump Impeachment Show is perfectly situated to divert attention from Uncle Joe’s daily executive orders. Technically – and legally – executive orders have force only in the arena of directing Federal agencies and employees in the means and methods of carrying out Federal laws. Legally, the President no matter how popular or senile, cannot CHANGE laws or effectively create any. These quaint facts have long been ignored, but very gingerly until President Obama. Just in the imposition of the A. C. A., Obamacare, he changed the law(s) that were passed by Congress, as they were offending various voter blocs Mr. Obama liked. He changed those laws, a big “No… no!”

Chief Justice (in name only), John Roberts, saw how easily it could be done and changed the law himself in order to keep that pile of A. C.r A.p from collapsing constitutionally.

Now Ol’ Lunch-bucket Joe has issued some 40 “Executive Orders” that one might safely assume he hasn’t read despite his wholehearted agreement with their contents. The one on rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement is 7,600 words by itself. Joe would have read a mid-length novel since taking office to fully grasp everything he’s signed. Seems doubtful.

Keeping Trump and those 75 Million or so troglodyte Republicans on the front pages allows for a lot of attention over here while the “transformation” is happening over there. Sort of like a street magician working a little sleight of hand on the credulous crowd, except it’s more likely sleight of mind.

Don’t be surprised if, along with the exhaust from right-wing lawnmowers, the smoke from firing guns at a practice range is made a climate crime, punishable by confiscation.

A citadel of Lies

A CITADEL OF LIES

It appears that not only the idiots who stormed the Capitol but Trump, himself, were suckered into exactly the reactions the Democrats wanted. They have been convinced for years that conservatives and anyone who agrees with a strong defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights are all, secretly, neo-Nazis and other caricatures of knuckle-dragging troglodytes. And all racists, of course, every last one. One can see this attitude displayed in the virtuous signage supporting “Black Lives Matter” and “Science” and “Love is Love” and “Hate Has No Home Here” since, by their lacking such declarative advertising on their own lawns, everyone that homeowner already knew was barely human, is admitting to that condition.

The trouble is, they teach this stuff in school, to the point of children apologizing for being born white. Undefined guilt works best if started at an early age. What rot.

There were some idiots in Washington on January 6^th, and not all were part of the rally / protest. Many work there… many on Capitol Hill, in fact. Their erstwhile president-elect was quick to declare that the breeching of Capitol security could not be referenced as a ”protest,” no, no, no; it was an insurrection! A threat to and an attack on “democracy!” “Don’t you dare call this a protest,” he stated with great passion.

This of course denies the presence of tens of thousands of protesters who have, it seems Prudent to say, hundreds of things to protest. They came at great cost, since virtually all of them work for a living, and came with some discomfort and trouble, TO PROTEST! The left, including Democrats and their subservient media, perceive the election of a Democrat as a fresh confirmation of purity and light; only the disruption of that outcome is subject to protest. Republicans and conservatives are merely tolerated for their value as a common enemy of “progress,” whom all good and virtuous people should dislike, if not more, and shun if possible.

Trump changed their reactions, as he did those of most Republicans, because he actually said what he believed and then put it into action, policy and legislation. Worse, millions of people – the aforementioned troglodytes – loved the change, loved the brashness, loved the heartfelt defense of America. The “real” rulers of America had to up… errr, lower their game. The worst “official” behavior in our history became normal for more than four years, as those sworn to uphold the constitution connived to destroy the most dangerous interloper they’d seen. For shame.

Now, with the attack on the Capitol, the left has a more perfect common enemy than they could conjure up with constant lying: “Look what they did! See? They’re as bad as we’ve been telling you for decades!”

The Capitol, itself, will become a virtual armed citadel, with new defensive barriers, more police carrying long guns, maybe some hate-sniffing dogs. Why, you citizens can’t protest what we do up here. We don’t work for you scum, you work for US! Oh, wait, is it too early to say that? We meant to say, “We work our fingers to the bone for all Americans, and we’re happy to scrimp and sacrifice for each and every one of you, especially minorities and members of the LGBTQx community and women and the downtrodden and those streaming to our country for a better life and more government checks, and for Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Disney and CNN and the Washington Post. But, we must be safe as we go about our august duties… for you. And you must be safe, too, so keep your stupid masks on.”

No one opposed to the steady march leftward has a right to protest, since to do so is to oppose “progress.” That such progress replaces and suppresses the guarantees of the Constitution and disabuses us of the points of the Declaration of Independence, is being obscured and dissipated by educational avoidance. A generation of children are amenable to socialism in the mistaken belief that it will somehow end racism and “inequality.” The premise, riotously hammered home in city after city during 2020, is that we cannot repair the problems in the U. S., we must destroy the United States and start fresh. God forbid.

The people leading the riots that burned, destroyed and looted, and assaulted and killed totally innocent people, are financed and led by espoused Marxists and communists. Yet the “woke” left and Democrats were sympathetic to them and to their supposed grievances however illogical, and even to their destruction of public property. Theirs were “mostly peaceful” protests and represented an exercise of “fundamental rights.” Those who lost their businesses – and the THIRTY people who died – were probably part of the protested problems…, they were capitalists, after all.

What on Earth could motivate hundreds of people to be so angry that they’d break the law to protest something the Congress was in the midst of? What could have possibly been so important? An election? Really?

Without fail, every Democratic source and nearly all media instantly declared that there was no evidence of voting fraud or irregularities or illegalities. By definition, then, anyone who thinks there were is a right-wing nut and not worth listening to. Unfortunately there are hundreds of statements, affidavits eye-witnesses and analyses that strongly indicate that a lot went wrong in the handful of states, counties and cities where sufficient unlawful votes could guarantee a Biden electoral college win. None of those deniers of electoral hanky-panky has been interested in actually investigating the charges since doing so would add to the possibility of something wrong and they uniformly deny that. It’s actually fairly easy to make a strong case based on data analysis, sworn statements, and similarity of irregularities and tactics in the half-dozen “battleground states.” The defense of what happened in each state comes from the election officials who may be culpable for what may have gone wrong, if so. To whom can we turn for redress of these grievances? No one has an answer for that question.

Courts have rejected every appeal, and in more than one instance – including the Supreme Court – the fear of riots… err, “protests” like those that destroyed cities and monuments, was part of why no hearings would be entertained. For shame.

The respective states’ legislatures, Constitutionally defined as responsible for selecting electors, did attempt action in some states, but the executive branch of their governments had already “certified” the results of the election as reported. The Biden juggernaut was almost at the pier and the political pressures to conform were intense. No state was interested in actually investigating “itself,” particularly if it were the only one to change its results, winding up on the ‘outs’ with the new Biden administration. Our corrupt intermingling of financial responsibilities between supposedly sovereign states and the ostensibly Federal government, could cost a state a lot of “federal” dollars if that state appeared to oppose the new disbursers of those increasingly hollow “dollars.” see: http://www.prudenceleadbetter.com/2020/09/27/knife-edge-election/

There was a flood of complaints and subsequent sworn testimony. There were observations of illegal internet connections, photocopied ballots being scanned, observers being prevented from doing their legal jobs, observers being illegally removed from their posts, false justifications for “stopping” counts simultaneously in four of the battleground states, followed by statistically impossible “spikes” for Biden, every time. At one point, in Georgia, following an abrupt spike for Biden that erased Trump’s substantial lead, the following FIFTY THREE batches of votes showed exact rates of 50.5% for Biden and 49.5% for Trump – an impossibility. “Nothing to see here, everybody. We can explain how everything you saw happen, never happened.”

So, was the giant Washington protest and the smaller ones across the country, just because of this election? For many, yes, but for many more, the election is simply the straw that broke the camel’s back. Congress, particularly the leadership in both houses, has been lying to us for decades. Almost every piece of legislation is a pack of lies, in that almost every one has a high-falutin’ title that purports to describe what making that bill law, will do. Yet every one contains pieces of spending that couldn’t pass otherwise. The worst deceptions are the so-called “budget” bills that spend hundreds of billions at once. Not even leadership know what such “omnibus” bills include. Partisans argue over details for publicity purposes, but under various deadline threats, these piles of crap are passed and sent to a president who is also under timely pressure usually because the bill, itself, was passed at the last minute and the defense of the country or the checks to Social Security recipients or, as of late, Covid relief checks are already late. The pile of dishonesty becomes the law of the land. Then the big lie kicks in.

The U. S. can’t afford the cost of its standard of living. Congress – and most other government types – pretend this is nothing to worry about. They pass spending bills as if we had the money, or revenue, to pay for them. But these are really borrowing bills. Up to a third – even 40%(!) – of our budgets for the past 20 years have been covered by borrowing money through the Federal Reserve, a private banking consortium that can legally lend the government money that it doesn’t have. The U. S. Treasury also sells bonds, which is to say, borrows money from thousands or millions of lenders / investors to keep enough cash in the bank to cover daily outflows. Consequently, whether to holders of “treasuries” or to the “FED,” Americans pay a ton of interest every month and year. When we can’t afford to pay the interest, why we just borrow that, too! What a hoax.

We’ve all heard the stock lie about how closing the government over a spending dispute will cause us to “default” on our loans. This has never been true, but it sure upsets the less-informed, and mendacious news outlets repeat the same nonsense.

Americans like to believe that the people we elect are watching out for us and keeping us “safe.” How safe are we with $27 Trillion of debt? Are we not obligated to our lenders? How “free” can we be with that burden? Have our elected representatives been pulling the wool over our eyes all these years? Are any of them watching out for this nation or for us? No wonder people are restless. Fake news makes it even worse, and it all came to a head with the shady voting of 2020, following a year of lies about Covid and lies about the dangers of voting in person. Partisan news organizations support all of those untruths and add personal attacks and calumny aimed at Trump supporters who agree wholeheartedly with “America First.” Who argues with that philosophy? One can tell a great deal about those who do.

After the Viet-Nam war and the following 45 years, who can we complain to? We have the right to peaceably assemble and to appeal to “the government” for redress of our grievances. Who would that be? Who has power over the budget, over the rates of taxation, over the disbursement of funds to which agencies, over the amounts and recipients of “foreign aid, over the confirmation of judges, over the laws governing federal elections, over the policies governing public education, and over the kinds of lightbulbs we can buy? And over thousands of other daily, personal and business decisions? Why, the very Congress who has sold us out to China and to international bankers, that’s who.

They are the same charlatans who haven’t been listening to the Americans they purport to represent. One wonders if they heard anything on January 6^th.

What did they hear all Summer as cities burned and insurrection was declared in Seattle? What did they hear as Marxists burned out the businesses of private citizens and companies? Apparently, their perceived message was telling them that enough fear in the streets will prevent any serious investigation into the theft of a presidential election.

They did hear something on the sixth, too: “Now is our opportunity, with the connivance of media and social media, to destroy those who disagree with our socialist plans.” For shame.

Unfortunately, on January 6^th, there were some truly odd characters who infiltrated the crowds close to the Capitol building itself. Many have commented on the very different attitudes of men in camouflage outfits, and how things “felt” as they got closer to the Capitol. Some evidence indicates that Antifa’s paid thugs were also at the head of the line as the Capitol lines were breeched. With the new administration, no investigation of that possibility is likely. As for the odd ducks who may be white supremacists, there is no need to investigate that, because Democrats believe that EVERY Trump supporter is only a shade above troglodyte status and very probably a white supremacist, even if he or she doesn’t know it. No investigation.

Our new, quite old President, is staffing his administration with people about as different as possible from those who have done a remarkably good job under Trump… and they’ve been selected not for merit or skill, necessarily, but for gender and skin color. Biden’s “dark winter” could extend for years. God save us.
