IMMUNITY FROM LAWFARE

      It's really somewhat of a sad commentary on the state of our society when the Supreme Court actually doing its job for a change is a topic of national debate. The recent decisions overturning Roe v. Wade and repealing the abominable Chevron Doctrine was enough to send the Whacko Left Wing into chimp-out mode alone; but yesterday's decision to extend justice to President-in-Exile Trump has thrown Trump Derangement Syndrome into the mix. We really haven't seen paroxysms of rage at this level from the Left in over three years. 

    If we look at the US Constitution, it's noteworthy that half of our first Ten Amendments (4-8) are specifically designed to prevent weaponization of the Legal System. Both parties have been trying to turn all five of them into a Dead Letter for decades have succeeded in doing so in some cases. The Political Class didn't care so much as long legal abuses effected everybody else, but until yesterday it was starting to spread even to that previously untouchable group. Immunity under the Color of Office was put into our Founding Principles for a reason. Without it, nobody in a position of authority could make a decision without putting themselves at personal risk. Our Founders restrained legal abuses as much as possible; today all one has to do is look at the British Government with its pompous poseurs strutting around in their ruffled robes and ridiculous powdered wigs screaming at each other on the floors of Parliament over the most trivial policies to get an idea of what we escaped. 

   

     Likewise, we managed (mostly) to avoid the scenes of many South American Republics who make a regular habit of throwing their political opponents in jail. A Judicial Tyranny is still a tyranny. The legal issues surrounding President Trump and the equally execrable calls from the Right to take legal revenge on the Democrats was leading us into that very kind of Vicious Circle. 

    Americans today aren't in the habit of stopping to think and reflect; but they should look at yesterday's decision a sign that our Legal System is in serious need of reform. The Whacko Left---now that their ox has been gored---is talking about 'reforms;' which, as usual, means making the situation worse. When we speak of reform, we mean reining in a system that's largely out of control and danger to our liberties moreso than being a protector of them. 

   The actual purpose of the Judiciary is not to validate political agendas, exact personal revenge, or enrich lawyers as most Americans seem to believe. The Judiciary is part of a Balance of Powers that protects the general population from both Executive and Legislative over-reach. Unfortunately, too many Americans seem satisfied with the idea of over-reach in those branches too, which is part of the problem. 

   Via the Corporate Media and well-publicized fat Court judgements and sensationalized trials, the American Public has come to venerate the Legal System with an air of sanctimony formerly devoted to religion. This has led to the Legal System becoming an industry with the most egregious corruption and venality being disguised as a Pursuit of Justice. All of the judicial persecutions of President Trump highlights the depths of depravity to which the System has sunk. Trump was vindicated in this case and Justice was served; but we can see from the circumstances leading up to yesterday's decision that the system, metaphorically speaking, is on life-support. The few remaining Jurists and honest lawyers that our country has are all that's holding this System together from plunging into complete anarcho-tyranny.

   The ultimate problem is that there is neither the political nor the popular will to change the Status Quo since too many people benefit from the injustice and corruption that has now become systemic. Again, this is a problem entirely of our own making: we've looked the other way too long, grabbing our slice of the pie instead of holding lawyers and judges accountable and demanding that our government enforces the Constitution. Instead, we hear croaking from the Punditocracy on both the Left and the Right that the Court doesn't favor Interest Groups enough. Yesterday's decision was a good start; but until we address the root of the problem, it may only be a temporary victory.

   

DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOU FEEL CONFIDENT?

     For whatever they're worth, polls since the 'Debate Debacle' are showing surging support for the Republican figurehead and his Party. Most of the support is coming from interest-groups like the Log Cabin Republicans and Bush-Machine donors who were supporting Democrats and RINOs until the Conservative-Industrial Complex also decided to go fully 'woke.' It could be that the RNC strategy of pandering to the worst elements in human nature more efficiently than the virtue-signalling Liberal pandering is getting results. Based and Red-Pilled is only the Reactionary form of Woke and Politically-Correct; and in a system of Managed Democracy like ours, the ends always justify the means. 

   Among the Plutocracy transparently posing as Populists, Tech Lord Elon Musk and his confederate David O. Sacks are the top-level ringleaders roping in Wall Street and WEF Oligarchs for a hostile takeover of the MAGA Movement. Bolstered by servile propagandists who tell us that bowing before our betters and accepting our places as peasants and serfs is the new normal for Conservatives, the aforementioned Sacks was all over social media venues this weekend praising all of the Billionaires who've joined in the effort to replay the 2000 Elections and seat a Neocon on the Royal Throne. There too was no shortage of potential courtiers praising all of this.

     Sacks shamelessly said on one these podcasts---in what has to be a textbook example of psychological projection (or blatant hypocrisy) that: "The Democratic Party is a collection of interests who want to remain in power. The Democratic Party is the party of government. Its goal is to allocate money and power from the government to the collection of interests who backed the Democratic Party. In other words, it’s basically a collection of, of interests who want to loot the Republic."

   I have no argument with that definition of the Democrats, but to try and pretend that it doesn't define the Republicans just as precisely is to ignore reality. Republican Administrations and Republican Congresses have presided over the most massive wealth-transfers in US History from the productive class to wealthy parasites since the first Bush Administration abandoned Reaganomics---a policy which actually did benefit the working class. 

   There has been effusive fawning online over some new Plutocrats who've come on board. For example, Doug Leone, CEO of Sequoia Capital which bankrolls some of the most predatory corporations on Wall Street---many of whom are government contractors themselves. Leone made a bundle off the Scamdemic as part of Trump's COVID Task Force, and later threw Trump under the bus after the January 6th protests. Sequoia Capital is heavily invested in Tik-Tok and pushed for the forced sale of that venue to cash in on "the smooth sale to a US Corporation." Steve Mnuchin, another of Trump's Cabinet who baled out on him, is part of a consortium angling to take over Tik-Tok. 

   Another sterling character praised by the True Believers for returning to the GOP fold is Stephen Schwarzman of whom one said, with wholly unintentional irony, "has made a sharp U-Turn and is now Kissing that Beautiful round Orange Ass of Donald Trump too." Schwarzman is CEO of the Blackstone Group, a WEF Partner which has been heavily involved in promoting 'Smart Cities.' Schwarzman is himself a WEF member, and deeply connected to the Bush Machine and Neocon Establishment. 

  These developments don't exactly restore much confidence here that the next Republican Administration will represent the largely-disenfranchised American people as much as the Controlled Opposition Media would like to claim. As one of Sacks' fundraisers put it, "Donald J. Trump is the real deal. Put your money where it will do the best for you and this country." The problem with this statement is that what is best for the Corporate Deep State and what is best for the country are mutually exclusive. I think that it's a safe bet which of the two is going to have precedence over the other when it comes to the Plutocracy. 

   It would be interesting to hear from the True Believers any good reason as to how the support of these unaccountable Robber Barons in any way benefits the Conservative Movement. It seems though that 'Joe Biden Sucks' is about as deep as their reasoning goes, so the proponents of the Great Reset may just see more gullible pigeons on the Right than on the Left.
