So, unless one is listening primarily to the Corporate Media---which is carrying on as though the incident was no big deal---they've probably heard that Federal Secret Police Forces stormed the home of the President-in-Exile, Donald Trump. The operation was carried out in such secrecy that Trump himself was the one who broke the story.
Fortunately, Melania and the Trump children weren't present; there is no telling what those fiends might have done to them. Sending police goon-squads against a former president has never happened before, but as the President-in-Exile noted: "they will do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming elections."
Indeed. We've actually seen in 2020 quite clearly that the Enemy would burn the country to the ground and gamble with Martial Law before they let a Populist President hold power again. Reading through many articles on today's Police Action, I feel as though I was the only one not surprised by it. Here is a comment we posted at another site:
"Maybe Liberal pundits were only joking when they said they wanted Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, or blacklisting of Trump supporters, or putting vaxx-opponents in Concentration Camps. Maybe Biden didn't really mean it when he said that the GOP might not exist in 2024. Maybe John Kerry was only kidding when he said that the Government was wholly on board with the Great Reset and that they would 'make it happen.'"
2020 was not an election, it was a Color Revolution. Local officials began seizing power under the pretext of a fake emergency. They de facto suspended the First Amendment ordering curfews, quarantines, and sealing local borders. Violent thugs were turned loose against against the populace and cultural monuments were destroyed. Police forces---a last line of defense against a tyranny---were defunded. Federal officials refused to carry out presidential orders. A blatantly fake election was conducted and critics of the process censored. The Military was illegally in contact with foreign leaders advising them that they would seize power if the Administration contested the vote. Political show-trials followed in the aftermath: the January 6th protesters, Derrick Chauvin, Julian Assange and the Epstein cover-up for which Ghislaine Maxwell was sacrificed. Trump supporters have been subject to varying degrees of persecution.
How much more clearly does the portrait of a revolutionary action need to be painted?
Equally unsurprising has been the reaction---or more accurately lack thereof---from Republican leadership. To his credit, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has spoken out; but as of this writing, not a word from McConnell, Cruz, Rand Paul, or any of the other top GOP power-brokers. This is not to say that the GOP isn't diligently fighting for our freedoms. While Mar-a-Lago was being raided, in fact, they were engaged in a furious Senate debate over whether or not pregnancy was something restricted only to women.
Some may wish to argue that the President is not above the law. This is true. But there are immunities for actions taken in office which are there for a reason: and legal, Constitutional remedies besides. Impeachment is just such a remedy. It was attempted against Trump and failed. The 8th Amendment prohibits Double Jeopardy---not that the Constitution actually matters anymore---and likely explains GOP silence over the issue. After the 'War on Drugs' and the 'War on Terror', Republican leaders might have a hard time explaining why all of the laws they supported stripping us of our Rights shouldn't be employed against them. They are doing what they typically do, in President Reagan's words: "feeding the crocodile hoping that they'll be eaten last."
Reagan's words are going to come back to haunt us all, because hopefully nobody is naive enough to imagine that the Revolutionists are going to stop at getting Trump. The Junta found they could get away with making human sacrifices of the Jan 6 protesters, Chauvin, Maxwell, and Assange: if they succeed in immolating Trump and his advisers, the Witch Hunt that will follow will rival anything out of the Jacobin, Bolshevik, or Nazi Revolutions. If they are bold enough to lay hands on the administrators of the previous government, they certainly will not be squeamish about laying their hands on anybody else. Yesterday, it was the protesters, today it's Trump, tomorrow it will be us. Make no mistake about their intentions. Gangs of political and financial criminals typically don't stage a putsch because they think their opponents aren't being treated fairly enough.
Today's raid underscores our need for building networks of Parallel Communities. We can't put our trust in the 'system' nor some illusory 'Red Wave.' Those days are behind us, and all the Denial isn't going to change anything.
Good post. Disconcerting times we're living in! Something I try to focus on, THEY are the parallel community, not us. We should be networking, making connections, creating alternatives, but I mean in a psychological context, it's actually "we the people" who are the normal ones, the mainstream, the majority.
ReplyDeleteA "red wave" won't save us, but a significant portion of the population coming together sure will. With gas prices, food shortages, and constant covid hysteria, I think we're starting to see some cracks in people's liberal tribalism. Everything that has gone on has happened with our consent. You simply revoke your consent and it all stops. Always easier said then done, but it's really an emotional and spiritual battle, more than a political one.
Definitely true. Networking is vital to keep stability when mind and soul are under such heavy attack. I don't always agree with Ayn Rand, but she was right when she said that the strongest weapon against tyrants was just saying 'no.'
DeleteAs you know, our Governor Inslee tenaciously clung to Mask Mandates until the Junta more-or-less made him stop. One of the proudest things of my life will be that I never once wore the Mask of Shame. lol
