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 6th, 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 6th.
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 6th, 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.
