The rule of “low and little men”

“Why is it,” the great Virginian, John Randolph of Roanoke, asked about U.S. politics in January 1827, “that our system has a uniform tendency to bring forward low and little men, to the exclusion of the more worthy?” [1] Surely, the Biden administration must be the strongest, truest, and most disgusting example of what Congressman Randolph clearly saw when surveying the American political system nearly two centuries ago.

This week, Biden decided to create an office in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called the ”Disinformation Governance Board”, which is tasked with forcibly suppressing people who disagree with Biden, his party, the Congress, and their handiwork of war-making, staggering inflation, bridling the energy industry, destroying food processing plants, and welcoming an illegal-alien inundation. As was previously mentioned in this space, DHS is the best-armed civilian agency of the national government. The man in charge of the DHS gunslingers, of course, is the same man who has let 3.1 million unwanted and republic-destroying illegals into the country, and who has been seeding them into red states via government-financed airplane rides.

Now, what legislation passed by the Congress is backing the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board and when did Biden sign it? Call or e-mail your representative, senator, or the White House and ask any of them this question. The will give you a deceitful line of well-rehearsed shit that may sound barely plausible, but they will not direct you to the text of a law passed by Congress. Why? Because there is no such law. The motivation for the new Board is simply the rank fascism that dominates the Biden administration, much of the Congress, and most fiercely resides in the DC-based federal civil service, law-enforcement agencies, and among many flag officers.

There is no question that DHS and its Board have no legal underpinning on which to base their coming, well-armed anti-1st Amendment activities. And they will have none so long as the 1st Amendment is in place. That amendment and all of the protections it affords are not within the executive branch’s purview to abridge, suppress, or cancel. The guarantee of free speech is in the Constitution’s 1st Amendment and, more important, it is a God-given right. Both facts trump the fascist intentions of Biden’s gang of political and civil-service criminals.

So what to do? Well, first, that old slogan “just say no” immediately comes to mind. No American approached by a DHS thug asking about the content of his or her speech, writings, or thoughts has any legal responsibility to respond helpfully or, for that matter, to respond at all. DHS officers working for the Board are themselves violating the Constitution because there is no legal sanction for their work. The only authority they have comes from the Biden administration’s Nazi core, which we learned yesterday is giving a another $33 billion to their fellow Nazis in the Ukraine. The Russians acquired great skill in killing Nazis between 1941 and 1945, let’s hope it has maintained that razor edge when it comes to harvesting the skulls of Ukrainian Nazis, their supporters, and their allied interlopers.

The DHS Board’s coming war on the 1st Amendment also is a barely disguised stalking horse for seizing the weapons of Americans. DHS’s Secretary – who thrives on harming loyal Americans – told the Congress that his goons were going after people who said, wrote, or thought things that made it appear they ‘’were descending into violence”. That obviously means that when the fascists knock on your door to ask about your words and thoughts, they also will be there to steal your guns.

Biden and his sick horde have drawn an unconstitutional and so illegal line between them and us. If they cross that line to the side of the loyal citizenry, they are acting as common criminals who are operating lawlessly. If the thugs do cross, they must encounter an utter refusal to cooperate, and if they are foolish enough to act violently, face the fiery response they merit for their crime. In which case, the “more worthy” should aspire to hand the “low and little” their heads on a plate.
