The FBI’s war on the right

The New Neo Posted on by

As Ace writes:

The US government has finally found an enemy it can defeat in war: American citizens.

Starting quite a few years ago, federal agencies and the left were intent on downplaying terrorism on the left as well as Islamic extremist terrorism, and promoting the idea that it was terrorism on the right that was the real and much more serious problem.

The January 6th incursion played into their hands, giving them the opportunity to exaggerate what was happening and whip up the idea that it was an insurrection and that the perpetrators had killed people. Although the facts did not support that, it hasn’t stopped the left and agencies such as the FBI and the DOJ from acting as though they did, and cracking down far harder on the right than they have on the left.

For example [emphasis mine]:

Paul and Marilyn Hueper, owners of Homer Inn & Spa, woke with a start at 9 a.m. April 28 when a dozen armed FBI agents kicked down their front door in an investigation associated with Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s stolen laptop, which was taken during the Jan. 6 siege of the nation’s Capitol.

Speaking April 29 to Kenai-based radio host Bob Bird of the Bird’s Eye View, Paul recalled that he was alarmed and shocked to come out of his bedroom with seven guns pointing at him and his wife.

“It was a little alarming when I turned around the corner,” Paul said. “The first thing they did was start barking out commandments.”

Ultimately, the couple was handcuffed and interrogated for the better part of three hours before being released. In the end, it was a case of mistaken identity.

The Huepers were in D.C. for the rally with President Trump, but they never came close to entering the Capitol, and certainly never took Pelosi’s laptop.

They were supposedly identified by the fact that Marilyn had a hairdo and a coat similar to those worn by a woman who is under suspicion, but the women don’t otherwise resemble each other. So in addition to the overkill of the way the Huepers were treated by the FBI, we have the now-familiar utter incompetence and/or negligence of the FBI. And we also have further evidence of how our present-day near-constant surveillance enables the authorities to track just about anyone.

I doubt most people will learn about this raid. And of the ones who do, how many will be outraged, and how many will think it’s perfectly reasonable and clearly justified?

And then there’s the FBI raid on Rudy Giuliani, just one of several that were conducted on Donald Trump’s lawyers over the past few years. It was executed in connection with an investigation of a possible FARA violation, one of those handily complex laws that are often used against political rivals (for example, General Flynn was threatened with a FARA charge against him and his son).

Different treatment for different parties:

Tucker Carlson points out that while they’re attempting to get Rudy Giuliani on a failure-to-file-FARA-disclosures rap — FARA requires people working as lobbyists or agents for foreigners to disclose this to the government, unless they’re Democrats — one person we know for a fact worked for the Ukrainians and the Chinese and never filed a FARA disclosure is Hunter Biden.

So they’re framing a man who exposed Hunter Biden on a FARA rap, while protecting Hunter Biden himself from a FARA rap.

Also:

“Troubling” indeed, but not the least surprising. In the replies to that tweet, there are many that say in effect, “Well, a judge had to approve it, so they must have had valid suspicions.” Apparently, nothing has been learned from the Russiagate FISA applications – or the people tweeting those remarks are ignorant of what happened with the FISA applications in Russiagate, or they are pretending ignorance because it serves their political purposes.

As for Giuliani himself, here’s what he says:

“I never, ever represented a foreign national,” Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and New York City mayor, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “In fact, I have in my contracts, a refusal to do it because from the time I got out of being mayor, I did not want to lobby.”

He said his contracts contain a clause that indicates he will not participate in lobbying or foreign representation, something that he said would be “too compromising.”…

Giuliani told Carlson on Thursday that he has offered to cooperate with law enforcement for the past two years. He called the warrant “illegal” and “unconstitutional,” adding that a warrant could be issued only if there were evidence he was planning to destroy the materials.

Ah, but rules are just for when Republicans are doing the investigating and Democrats are being investigated.

{NOTE: Just to clarify regarding the title of this post, I’m well aware that this war on the right doesn’t originate with the FBI. But they are part of it and the agency appears to be more than willing to carry out the goals of the higher-ups.]

Comments

The FBI’s war on the right — 49 Comments

  1. Their being willing, enthusiastic, parts of this is what is appalling.

  3. There must be personal consequences, when government agents act as storm troopers.

    Currently, when government agents act illegally, there is no feedback mechanism that involves personal consequence. Nor can there be when an entire government is riddled with political corruption. Since there is now no possibility of redress of grievance, the only remaining recourse open to the victims is, politics by ‘other’ means.

  6. I have a daughter who is a lawyer and FBI agent for 20 years. She is a typical leftist but did tell me in 2016 that she would not vote for Hillary, a small sign of sanity. Alas, that sign was a false one as she is more devoted to the left than ever. I was sitting across from her at dinner last weekend and she told me I was “Watching Fox News, too much.” I told her that I do not do so, but she was unmollified. That seems to be a knee jerk response from the left. Sorry to see it in a lawyer and FBI agent. Especially one I sent to college.

  7. Christopher Wray: Perhaps Trump’s very worst appointment.

    One of a long list but who was he to appoint ? Appointing L Patrick Gray, an honest man, got Nixon the Mark Felt coup d’etat. How many honest men (and women) are there in DC?

  8. It would be a good idea for prominent Republican politicians to publicly and loudly condemn the fbi every time the fbi act as democrat party political henchmen. The fbi, justice department, Antifa and blm are teamed up to destroy democrat party opposition, republicans need to warn ordinary people of this effort.

  9. Whenever I read about any FBI raid now my first thoughts are always, “What were the real reasons for the raid? Why did they choose to go after this person?” I don’t like thinking that there is a conspiracy behind every action by the FBI but their behavior is so rotten that it can’t be helped. There may very well be many fine people working at the FBI but they certainly do a good job of hiding.

  10. How many resigned after the Waco massacre? That was long ago, so the bulk of the lower ranks must have applied after (because of?) the Waco massacre.

    Rationalization is a powerful process. If an otherwise harmless person is victimized by The State, the good church ladies will insist, retroactively, that they are unworthy “good church ladies” is a noun of aggregation. Or a metaphor. Or a generic.
    And there’s the Aunt Polly Defense, “Didn’t get a lick amiss, I reckon.”

  11. Again the federal judiciary is complicit with their activities. No judge appointed by Clinton or Obama is trustworthy.

    If justice is done the FBI will be dissolved as soon as a Republican majority with a Republican president takes control.

    And we also have further evidence of how our present-day near-constant surveillance enables the authorities to track just about anyone.

    The surveillance cameras everywhere are disconcerting. However, it it actually did enable the authorities to do this, they wouldn’t have collared the wrong couple.

    One thing that gets you about the FBI is how sloppy and unprofessional they seem. The police force in Slidell, La records their interviews with suspects and witnesses. Not the FBI.

  12. I once thought that the portrayal of the sleazy FBI agents in “Ozark” was a nice, creative plot device.
    I now believe that it was borrowed from a documentary.

  13. No nation can long survive a corrupt legal system.
    It becomes something different, i.e. it dies.

  14. A friend’s brother was a Treasury Agent. In conversation he called FBI agents the “Feebs” and claimed their MO was to let the local and state police catch criminals, then the FBI would swoop in and take credit.

    Just think. If the FBI had been doing its job right, the high command of the Weather Underground would have gone to prison. Instead the FBI had so badly tainted their case against them, the Weatherfolks got off.

    As Bill Ayers said, “Guilty as hell; free as a bird.” Then a decade or so later, Ayers helped get Obama’s career off the ground. And here we are.

  15. Since I was at the January 6th rally (didn’t go into the capital) I fully expect to be visited one day. I will videotape the conversation and ask for their cards to schedule an appointment to come in and talk to them with my lawyer. Then hand them a copy of “The Police and Us” stating I expect to discuss it with them at the meeting. Advice. Never talk to Federal Authorities other than to arrange an appointment. You technically surrender your 5th amendment rights.

    When the USPS arrested Brian Kolfage of “We build the Wall” they drove an armed section drove down from NY to Florida to arrest him. They made him, a triple amputee, drag himself across the lawn to the vehicle. The locally based US Marshalls told them it was shameful but that detail just laughed at them.

    So when these arrests and “visits” happen I wonder if it is out of town officers coming to pay a call. I can’t imagine local officials would want to be known to do this. But if they are hyper partisans they may regard it as a mark of honor.

    As stated before, both the CIA and FBI needs disbanded and their functions disbursed among other organizations. The culture is too corrupt. The DOJ needs a wholesale clean out too. All of the employees would need to re-apply for their jobs too.

    I seen it done in business, it can be done with government too.

  16. Spaartacus:

    You might have seen it done in business, but have you ever seen it done in a unionized business? I think the FBI and DOJ would be protected from mass firings unless the White House and both houses of Congress were in Republican hands, with a very large GOP majority. I sure hope I’m wrong, though.

  17. I suspect the agents in charge knew it wasn’t her but some supervisor told them to search anyhow, because who knows what you might find.

  19. F – “You might have seen it done in business, but have you ever seen it done in a unionized business? I think the FBI and DOJ would be protected from mass firings unless the White House and both houses of Congress were in Republican hands, with a very large GOP majority. I sure hope I’m wrong, though.”

    Yes I saw it in a unionized business. I worked for GM and Delphi. Many Federal Employees are protected under the Civil Servant Act. Trump in his last days was looking at reclassifying “decision/policy” making employees to schedule F which are not covered under the Act. That is a mechanism to use. Also if Congress defunds an organization the employees ipso facto are unemployed. There will be multiple lawsuits and favorable judges BUT in the end there are ways. Long, arduous and expensive but it can be done. Once the first pebble is dislodged then the avalanche comes.

    We need to have some serious kick ass HR folks well versed in the details of HR rules and regulation. One thing about uni-party rule is that the people have gotten extremely sloppy. Perfect for rigid enforcement of the rules. One example is the prohibition against doing government business on private communications ala Hillary. Offer a one time amnesty to those who are not political appointees. Those that don’t take advantage of it, prosecute to the fullest extent allowable. Even negative records can kill a professional career. Then to the political appointees put the hammer down. No mercy.

    It has to be a plan that is well thought out but it can be executed. Most important we have to regain the levers of power. That is my focus.

    Audacity, more audacity, always audacity. – Georges Jacques Danton

  20. We were told the FBI were all like Elliot Ness. It turns out that they have devolved into a combination of Al Capone and Barney Fife – crooked and incompetent.

    Do not talk to them without a lawyer present or a video camera or both. If they break down your door and shackle you for interrogation as in this case, immediately contact the conservative media, hire a a lawyer, start a Go Fund Me account, and begin legal action for unlawful entry and arrest. There are still ways to fight back. It’s an uphill battle, but it has to be done.

  21. When one understands the FBI is now (and has been for a while, even under Trump) an enforcement arm of the Democrat party, one begins to have a fuller understanding of what we’re up against.

  22. Joe said “no amendment is absolute.” Doesn’t it follow then that no law is absolute? Except, in this case, for FARA.

  24. Continued…. And then “he”—famously—stated, “CRISIS”….but “he” didn’t mean it (NO HE DID NOT)…or maybe “he” did mean it but True Jen said, “Uh, uh, nossir, “he” was misquoted, or taken out of context, or was referring to something else, or was pressured into something “he” didn’t mean to say, uh, uh, nope, no deal, a CRISIS it’s NOT! MOST DEFINITELY NOT”…. But if it IS…then it’s Trump’s fault…of course it is….

    (Yes, True Jen says a lot of, um, stuff, too….)

    …Anyway, here’s one person’s view of just why it’s NOT a crisis…:

    It’s been a while now (and who woulda thunk it?) but the NY Post has clearly supplanted the NYT as America’s Paper of Record (well, after the Babylon Bee, that is)….

    (Though one would be correct to call the NYT—-“Pravda on the Hudson”—a very, very low bar….)

  28. The left’s compulsion to project is stupefying: The FARA rap on Giuliani but not H. Biden.
    The quid pro quo against Trump but not J. Biden
    The incitement to riot against Trump but not Kamala Harris.

    I am Spartacus:

    As I recall, things didn’t work out well for Danton. Another revolutionary eaten, or rather chopped, by the Revolution.

    Last night I listened a Victor Davis Hanson interview with the ominous title:

    Victor Davis Hanson: Causes of the Next American Civil War
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxU9A4g3hWw

    Even so, at the end the interviewer asks VDH what is to be done and he is surprisingly gentle. (Excuse the text — I mildly massaged the computer-generated transcript.)
    __________________________________________________

    Inrterviewer: so i’ll close this conversation in the same way that you close this piece it’s obviously hard to propose remedies for cultural divisions you can’t pass a piece of legislation to make people change their minds but your recommendation in the conclusion of this piece is to follow that famous prescription from hippocrates is first do no harm

    um operationalize that for us what does that actually mean in day-to-day life?

    VDH: i think it means that when you have people who are across this divide there’s no reason to prompt a duel between them 

    i have two brothers that are bernie sanders supporters so when i see them i don’t try to bait them they don’t try to bait me we just don’t talk about politics and we try to find a greater degree of commonality or when i write a column and i’m like that column or something i don’t i mean i i’m not afraid to quote people i don’t like and make fun of them but if it’s unnecessary and i think usually it is to say this person’s an idiot and he said this so if i have to do an interview again tv or whatever it is i i don’t try to scream and yell at the person and so i think it’s really important when i give us a lecture if i have a i gave a lecture the other day and there was somebody from germany i had been critical of germany and he went on a rampage

    it’s much better to say what is your question let’s deal with let me answer systematically rather than say you know just shut up and sit down and i think collectively if we have a an ethos that we have sort of a hippocratic oath you know you don’t shout down speakers or you don’t report news that you can’t substantiate by anonymous sources or unnamed sources or you don’t go to people’s homes to harass them or you don’t stalk them at work uh you can you can live with these fault lines as long as you don’t do the extra thing 

    this happened in 1861 the extra thing being getting in people’s face and caning somebody in the senate uh the house i mean or in 1968 blowing people up and daily terrorist attacks so we want to we want to stop and let people take a breath but the way it’s getting with antifa and black lives matter or occupy wall street or what we saw at the kavanaugh hearings

    if that is taken to the next step then they’ll be retaliated and kind and then retaliating kind and you get something like the of course [orion? staff? reference to Thucydides] where the whole society unwinds we don’t want that and the only way we can prevent it i think is on a personal level not contributing to it

  30. “…stupefying…”
    Um, no, not stupefying.

    It’s all meant to confuse the enemy. Keep em chasin’ their tail. (The “novelty” here, of course, is that the enemy is—ta da!—America….)

    After all, Truth (kinda like math) is a White Supremacist, Oppressive, Colonialist, Racist, Republican Party, Patriarchal, Constitutional, etc. “concept” that has no place in a transformed America.

    So whether it’s Iran, or the wall, or the budget(!) or education or the military or the family or abortion or race or Antifa or BLM, it’s actually Best Practice—let’s call it “a good deed”—to confuse the enemy. To lie (preferably while demonstrating tremendous gravitas and/or flashing a wide sh*t-eatin’ grin, though a giggle or two is also perfectly acceptable…as you blame EVERYTHING on Trump and his supporters—-worked pretty well for Obama!, but hey, that’s politics, right, Dubya?).

    All this BECAUSE being “anti-Trump” (or if you will, “hate”) is “all you need”.

    And so:

    etc., etc.

    But never you worry, never you fear: “Biden” ‘s got vision:
    https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/defense-secretary-lloyd-austin-iii-pentagon/2021/05/01/id/1019737/

  31. I believe I found the Thucydides reference VDH made in the above excerpt, The introduction is from a blog, “ORION’S COLD FIRE.” It is appropriate to the present day.
    _____________________________________________________

    Thucydides’ history is mostly very dry but there are a few passages that resonate even down to our time. Corcyra was the name of an island now known as Corfu in the Ionian Sea. When the Athenians and the Spartans were dueling for the supremacy of Fifth Century Hellas, Corcyra became a proxy in the battle between democracy and aristocracy. The two parties alternated in escalating the violence and ruthlessness when either had the upper hand. The description of the revolution in Corcyra concludes with a discussion of how partisanship became completely radicalized.

    Thucydides: Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal supporter; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question incapacity to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness; cautious plotting a justifiable means of self-defense. The advocate of extreme measures was always trustworthy; his opponent a man to be suspected…

  32. I disagree with the esteemed VDH as quoted here.
    His approach is the essence of the Right’s failure. The American Left is on the march, and they are not in the least civil about it. It is clear from their proposals such as HR1, cancelling the filibuster, shutting down the country’s economy by fear with the help of masks, CDC, FDA and Fauci, selective FBI raids on the Right, seeking to ban the most popular hunting rifle in the US, the AR-15, that they seek the destruction of the USA, and turn it into a United Socialist States of America.

    Students of European history will recognize certain similarities between the USA now and Germany in the pre-Hitler-as-Fuhrer era, the early 1930s. The NZADP’s prime opponent was the German communist party, and there were many violent clashes between them. The “nice” guys, like Social Democrats, sat on the sidelines, and then Hitler shut down the legislature, the Reichstag, The “nice guys” could do nothing, NZADP having won by a plurality, and the destruction of Europe and murders of Jews, gays, and gypsies was on. With the ardent cooperation of Germany’s biggest businesses, as Neo point out in her preceding Target CEO piece.

    I see no alternative to acting like German communists in this time, by fighting back against the Nazis. Otherwise we are merely sheeple, being led to slaughter, or to a lovely condition as today’s wretched Venezuelans find themselves in.

    We must not fear! Not the opposition, not death. Tyranny rules by fear. Aristotle knew this almost 2500 years ago. I will fight for the Constitution, for my children and their children.

  34. “[I]t’s obviously hard to propose remedies for cultural divisions.”

    The “cultural divisions” were and continue to be artificially manufactured by the education and media establishments. They are the planned result of what most refer to as indoctrination or brainwashing but which I describe as learned, implanted purposefully, emotional responses.

    The easiest remedy is to halt the indoctrination and let the reality of living destroy the implanted responses of those, the majority as I view it, who can change/adapt to what is real.

  35. I disagree with the esteemed VDH as quoted here.
    His approach is the essence of the Right’s failure. The American Left is on the march, and they are not in the least civil about it.

    Cicero:

    That’s a fair criticism. I don’t have an answer except I’m hoping that things aren’t that grim. I still believe a backlash, not a civil war, is coming and it will be severe.

  36. VDH’s prescription would only work if nearly everyone followed it. That would have to include activists, which of course it won’t. Plus, it wouldn’t touch the problem of the indoctrination of the young, or the lies of the MSM.

  38. “…not in the least civil about it.”

    OTOH, very civil war about it (but then, never very original, “Biden” ‘s just following Hillary’s and Obama’s lead)…

    Since the ultra-clear message that “Decent, No Mo’ Malarkey Joe” is sending is:
    “OK, you GOP ba****ds! This is what happens when your state votes Republican. Eat gauno!! And bon appetit!!!” (He is after all, a decent, most culchered man, isn’t that right, Tara? Such a fine person…)….
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-border-crisis-texas-costs-greg-abbott

    (And people wonder just why Harris—the administration’s “point person” on the border, um, “CHALLENGE”—is spending so much time on her wardrobe…. Sigh.)

  40. Huxley;
    We depend on Sen. Manchin. The country thus hangs by a thread.
    We have potential evil, in the form of Murkowski, Collins, Romney, that could offset Manchin. Those three can all be bought if the price is right.

    We have to recover the United States before it is irretrievably morphed.

    “War is politics by other means”, isn’t that right?

  42. neo wrote “…federal agencies and the left were intent on downplaying…Islamic extremist terrorism”.

    This is playing the left’s game by using their vocabulary. Or is there such a thing as “moderate Islamic terrorism”?

    “Islamic terrorism” or “Islamist terrorism” would be more truthful.

  43. We depend on Sen. Manchin. The country thus hangs by a thread.

    Cicero:

    It would seem so.

    But barring Obama et al.’s wish list of a DC state, passing vote fraud forever and packing the Supreme Court, I’d say if we can make it through the 2022 election, it’ll be a whole new ball game.

  44. Baggins:

    What I was trying to imply is that it is extremist Muslims who become terrorists. Not all Muslims are extremist – I know quite a few and they certainly are not terrorists. Plenty of Muslims in this country do not support terrorism either. However, the extremist terrorist wing of Islam is unfortunately relatively large, as is their support in the Muslim population particularly in Arab countries.

  45. “The FBI’s war on the Right” is “merely” a continuation—an elaboration—of the Obama-Biden crime syndicate’s FARA-initiated war on Donald Trump, with the similarly FARA-initiated invasion of Giuliani’s apartment “merely” that war’s most recent iteration.

    Lee Smith explains:

    In parallel, Caroline Glick delineates Obama-Biden’s “unfinished business” vis-a-vis the Jewish State.
    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/305428

    We are living once again “in interesting times”…as “the worst are full of passionate intensity” and have achieved almost total power while being supported by a corrupt media and formidable—and equally corrupt—info-tech apparatuses.

  46. neo:
    Saying “Islamic terrorism” doesn’t mean that all Muslims are terrorists; I know they aren’t too. “Animal Rights Terrorism” doesn’t mean that all animal rights activists are terrorists. But isn’t terrorism by definition extremist?

    Also, if Jews or Christians committed atrocities in their religions’ name at a scale far below that of Muslims, I think other Jews and Christians would shut their co-religionists down in a New York second.

  47. Huxley – “As I recall, things didn’t work out well for Danton. Another revolutionary eaten, or rather chopped, by the Revolution.”

    True, I regard him as the AOC of the French Revolution. If the Fascists ever come to power she will end up on the “Firing” Squad. It will be Omar who will come out on top. She is amoral and ruthless enough to take control. That Veritas expose of her operation showed her use of power and influence covering it with the guise of racism and cultural exploitation if you mention it.

    The revolution always eats it own.

    Another way of looking at the 2020 election is the Deep State Pearl Harbor. A surprise attack where they got their way for a time until Midway. The TIME Molly Ball article laid out the sneak attack. In earlier posts I have mentioned this is their high water mark. It is all downhill from here.

    https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/ Read it and get filled with cold anger.

    After this we are now aware of what they are doing and are actively fighting it.

    Before 2020 I was involved in election season but not year round. Now I am actively involved with election reform and training the Republican Party to stand up for its constituents. Just about everyone else who was at the TCF vote steal has been turned into activists. It is not just Republicans. It is populists, constitutionalists, blue collar black men (yes there are quite a few I run with) and middle class mothers who are pissed that their kids are being treated like cogs. Rescue Michigan, Stand Up Michigan, Unlock Michigan, True the Vote, Braynard’s Look Ahead America (good work being done there) so on and so forth have sprung up and are active. Many of us are talking and coordinating with each other.

    Vote integrity and selecting good America First candidates are our focus at this time. They are losing their media and social media monopoly of information. They are desperate and trying to accomplish as much as they can now because they know they will lose power on the current path. People flat out are tired of COVID nonsense. The Meaning of History and Zero Hedge stories about the CDC and the Am. Federation of Teachers is explosive. Get that in front of all the Chad’s and Karen’s and see their reaction.

    So what are YOU DOING? That is my question to you. Get away from the keyboard and get into the arena. We may be an empire and in decline but it is not terminal. Rome after the Julian Caesars just about broke apart but then thrived in the age of the 5 good emperors. It is not too late. Just get off your duff’s and get out there.

  48. Trump made a huge mistake in not doing a massive purge of the FBI. The Left used to hate with a red hot passion the FBI, CIA, Department of Justice, and Pentagon but now they are their biggest fans because they have taken all four over. Look at Comey, Strozk and his girlfriend, Brennan, Clapper, etc. “The Long March through the institutions”.

  49. Wow, wow, WOW! People.

    Every week, sometimes twice a week, there is a powerful truth telling thread here. This Neo post and the lengthy dialog and recollection here is a once in a month Epic read — to bookmark and re-read months from today. The are too many contributors to single out by name, and it’s been beautifully collaborative, with I Am Spartacus’ last post amounting to our Marching Orders: get actively engaged for the fight back or step aside.

    Now, can I put all this into a beneficial larger context and weigh some crucial questions? Cicero cites von Clausewitz, but making the usual mistaken translation: it is not War is Politics by Other Means, but “War is politics WITH other means.”

    The common mistranslation implies binary, either/or choice between war making versus peaceful compromised muddling mud of conventional politics. By contrast, the correct translation implies a continuum.

    And it is this difference that I hope to illuminate in my thread reaction synthesis, below.

    It is four months since the Great Republic’s Constitution has failed us. And why? Because men of supposed reason, temperament, and trust were intimidated into a stampede of fear! The same idiotic Trump is Hitler ad hom nonsense that we’ve seen working against Patriots for over four years! (Lucy, cue Charlie Brown for yet another football kick attempt. The GOPee is terminally unfit for any winning purpose.)

    This will either change from the grass roots or from the middling sort, if one (or more) mass media channels emerge as Trustworthy and truthful and factual — and thus influential!

    This is the missing rudder in the Political Waters for guiding any successful Giant Pushback. This also explains why the titular opposition remains worthless and worse — the echo chamber of the Uniparty (SEE Ace, and Sundance at theConservativeTreeHouse, recently for more on this Ruling Class Traitors versus Populist America First Patriots enraged or pissed off themes, but plenty of blog news makers, many places, too).

    In January, Angelo Codevilla opined that the USA is now under a classic Oligarchy composed of High Tech, Deep State bureaucrats, and the CommieCrats. A recent AmThinker piece made the case that cypher JoeBama is the perfect manque to be the face of such a motley crewed cabal of Oligarchs.

    Codevilla also argued that this Oligarchy is inherently unstable and will therefore not last long. As we know from the Anvients, either it becomes full on Tyranny, or else, usually with bloodshed, it becomes something else.

    And deciphering which course of events turns the US one way of the other is really the question that keeps us returning here, pondering the same difficult to divine answer. And with this league leading post by Neo, meaningfully engaged to discover.

    Michael Yon in January, also opined that the US was in the early stages of Civil War. The signs, he said, were “unmistakeable.”

    While Yon also claims a formidable track record of timing calls like this, we’re more sceptical, here. Why?

    Because while we know there is genuine rage and real hatred for tyranny, we’re still under the cloud of Covid Virus emergency middle part muddling through, and any real unifying Causus Bellus — much less some spark for mass mobilisation — looks too far off, indeed.

    But if Arizona forensic vote auditing proves compelling evidence of FICUS legitimacy, and when the Wokist Oppression looms too oppressive, what bubbling up crisis might in future becomes too unbearable for the masses?

    Perhaps Neo will consider a recurring or semi-permanent post like this one where we might track the growing evils of the kakocracy (sp? Rule by the incompetent)?

    Here’s one such scenario. Premise: the 2022 political season generates a variety of Push Back movements, like those Spartacus has listed.

    There will be candidates and parties to support and work for. But the most consequential for families and the Culture Wars is the Woke Church leaders and indoctrinators.

    Imagine a Tea Party type of Summer next year, but instead of a Constitution, Rule of Law, and Cut Spending platform, we have grass roots protests or a nearly violent nature?

    Where? Great crowds of Normals invade the State Campuses and burn leading national and locally corrupt WokoCrats in their safe quads (the “Studies” departments, naturally) and burn them in efigies around the country!

    WE NEED OLD FASHIONED RIGHTEOUS POLITICAL PROTEST MOVEMENT like this — independent of person and party — to become the hinge of Beyond The Pale offensiveness to us, to unify radical action for America First! To shake the money tree of the Ruling Class and corrupt media from their comfy chairs and thus polarise the electorate and educate all citizens of the Evils done with tax money spending!

    Tax Spending abuse is always the fulcrum that results in important American reform movements. Let the Popular Will Be Done, and become the JoeBama’s undoing!

    But one stab at the heart of our overarching question, if only to assay the War continuum in the War to Peace question: was the election like a Left Ruling Class’s Pearl Harbor attack? Before a coming Midway Surprise victory?

    A finer way to build a grounded and compelling metaphor is through the two likeliest kinds of Great War or Third World War causes and chew on them: cyber-warfare or bio-terrorism (CCPs Covid-19 project).

    BOTH are live options, and both preceded the election season. And both likely framed the election year wholly and in too many parts to not combine with WWII battle space events like Pearl and Midway.

    What else surprises? How the Culture War played a crucial Krystalnacht like role in mass mobilisation, despite the facts to the contrary undermining their Cry Bully narratives. Cue up the Thucydides and Orwell!
