We’ll need luck, guts, and, perhaps, guns to see Independence Day, 2021

–“The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.” Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782 (1)

–“Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems…. They’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.” Barack Obama, 5 May 2013 (2)

–“[Barack Obama is] the most finished scoundrel that ever lived; a ream of paper would not contain all the proofs. [He] is the only man I ever saw who was from the bark to the very core a villain.” John Randolph of Roanoke, 28 June 1807 (3) (NB: Randolph was referring here to the traitorous U.S. general, James Wilkinson. But brilliant Jack Randolph was an acute judge of dishonest and depraved characters, and would have agreed that this assessment was earned in spades by the man whose name this author inserted.)

–1.) On this Independence Day, it is worth noting the most important parts of the Declaration of Independence. It is one of our key founding documents and, until recently, was revered by the great bulk of the American people. Much of the beginning of the document is a combination of fluff and influence-prose aimed at potential allies in Europe. Even the following passage, which Professor Joseph Ellis called the “magic words of American history” (4)  is magnificently aspirational, but does not describe a reachable goal for any society, though America has come closer than any other: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (5)

–2.) This grand assertion is certainly possible to believe in; indeed, it must be hoped that all citizens believe that the goal must always be sought without let-up. But its full attainment can never be accomplished because human nature is imperfect and can never be perfected. Perfection, of course, belongs only to God. Indeed, since 1945 the Democrats themselves consistently have moved the United States further away from the goal encompassed in the Declaration’s words by their rhetoric, actions, violence, treason, corruption, murders, and lies, all of which provide irrefutable proof of party’s bone-deep adoration of tyranny and slavery, but not God.

–3.) The Declaration of Independence does, however, have two strongly beating hearts, one will be noted here, the other later. The first is the effort made by Jefferson and his fellow drafters to show that Americans had a “decent respect to the opinions of mankind” by being frank and acting to “declare the causes which impel them to the separation” from Great Britain. This they did in spades via a thorough and detailed list of the long series of attacks by King George III, the British Parliament, and British armed forces on America’s economy, legal, and electoral systems, as well as Americans’ birthright of English liberties. Prefacing that list was the sentence: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.” (6) The Declaration’s accurate listing of examples of British tyranny did exactly that.

–4.) It was worth submitting those “Facts” in 1776, and it seems even more essential today to submit the “Facts” that clearly detail the substance of the “repeated injuries and usurpations” imposed on Americans by Democrats since Obama’s election in 2008. In no particular order, these tyrannical Democrat attacks on the citizenry, the republic, its history, and its institutions include:

–Obama leading his government’s attempt to destroy Trump the candidate, and then unleashing the plan they held in reserve to overthrow the new administration, which was aided by foreign-intelligence agencies recruited to assist in the coup-attempt by the CIA Director.

–Lunatic Democrat (redundant?) feminists marched in cities across the country, presenting themselves as cheap sleep-arounds, just as the turn-over of power and inauguration were occurring. They made a lot of noise, caused some urban disruptions, but, being Democratic women, achieved nothing but getting Americans to laugh at them.

–Democratic racist-terrorists (ANTIFA, BLM, etc.) engaged in rioting, arson, beatings, and property destruction after the election, and the Democrats ordered the resumption and acceleration of that campaign in the spring of 2020.

–Obama’s Department of Justice and FBI framed an American citizen/military veteran and sought his incarceration because of what he knew about eight-years of their traitorous behavior, corruption, and role in adult-and-child trafficking and torture.

–Obama’s Department of Justice and FBI sent the senile gangster Robert Mueller and his team of criminal lawyers to prove what was known to be a groundless Russian collusion case against the president. This is Case No. 1 of  the Democrats’ willingness to risk a U.S.-Russia war because they hate Trump and know he will end their long-running corruption, perversions, rank criminality, and treason.

–Democratic apparatchiks Brennan, Clapper, and Coats, and a stunning number of U.S. general officers and admirals, used the republic’s intelligence community to undermine Trump and his administration, an effort that is continuing today, especially by the generals and admirals.

–The Democrats’ operatives appear to have massacred Americans – presumed to be Trump supporters — watching a concert in Las Vegas, and then-FBI Director Comey sent one of his fellow FBI criminals to shut down the investigation and suppress the publication of any findings already gather. (NB: Remember, Democratic operatives also were sent to murder Republican congressmen practicing for a charity baseball game, and to try to kill Senator Rand Paul in front of his family.)

–The Democrats’ used their agent-traitors in the government, and then their in-house paper, the NY Times, to steal intelligence and publish a lie that Trump did not act when told Russian military intelligence had offered bounties to the Taleban to kill U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan. This is Case No. 2 of Democrats’ willingness to risk a U.S.-Russia war because they hate Trump and know he will end their long-running corruption, rank criminality, and treason.

–Obama and the Democrats removed hundreds of senior U.S. military officers during their 2008-2016 reign of criminality and lawlessness to destroy the strength of the military’s loyalty to the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the nation’s Christian faith, and the republic’s history, including such a vital symbol of most Americans’ thirst for independence, national reconciliation, and unity that is found in flying the Army of Northern Virginia’s battle flag.

–The Democrats, their agent-traitors in the government’s medical/scientific establishment, and Bill Gates and his fellow eugenicists exploited and over-hyped an illness — the Chinese Virus — that they probably helped Beijing introduce in America, temporarily gutting the economy. They appear to have aided the spread of the sickness, recall Pelosi and De Blasio publicly urging citizens to congregate in crowds in the so-called “China towns” of San Francisco and New York.

–The Democrats ordered their governors in five states – New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and California – to deliberately stuff elder-care facilities with seniors who then died in droves from the Chinese Virus, precisely what the Democratic Party leaders wanted when they and Obama planned for death panels in Obama Care.

–Ancient tippler and enthusiastic infant-butcher from a “good Catholic home” Nancy Pelosi and her lying and emasculated committee chairmen, Nadler and Schiff, used a uniformed Democratic operative in the White House to start the Ukraine hoax as an attempt to overthrow Trump and hide the Biden crime family’s economic rape of that country.

–The Democrats used the 2o18 midterm elections to run a test of their vote-rigging gear and stole multiple House seats in California, Senate seats in Arizona and Montana, and almost stole the governorship of Georgia and a Senate seat in Florida, even though the Democratic candidates in each were — like Biden — pale shadows of former nothings.  It took weeks to count the votes in many of those elections, and featured an endless litany of “official announcements” that new “boxes of votes” – always for Democrats – had been discovered in warehouses, mail sacks, late-arriving “mail-in ballots”, desk drawers, and car trunks. The Democrats’ election rigging was so obvious, public, and successful that there can no longer be a presumption of fairness in U.S. elections at any level of government.

–The Democrats have flooded the country with generally violent illegal aliens, and for the past six months they have inundated the nation with convicted felons released from U.S. prison to mug, rob, rape, and kill Americans of all races.

–The Democrats and their banking, tech, and big business partners have been systematically undermining the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments for the non-existent issues of hate speech, white supremacy, tracking medical emergencies, and right-wing extremism, issues that the Democrats dreamed-up.

–The Democrats’ Valerie Jarrett in 2012, and, just recently, Democratic Senator Kamala Harris have promised retribution for anyone supporting Trump’s appropriate demolition of Obama’s legacy. It must be imagined that they mean to make the IRS’s vicious, Obama-and-Holder-ordered, and unconstitutional war on the Tea Party look like a slight slap on the hand.

–The Democrats used the Chinese Virus they helped introduce in America to stage their most intense attack yet on Christianity in the United States, forbidding attendance at weekly services. Obama and his pet-rat Holder first tested attacking Christianity when they tried to destroy the 1st Amendment rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor.

–5.) So that’s the tyranny now in place, but we also need to record the Democrats’ promises of more tyranny to come. The distinguished 19th-century American historian Moses Coit Tyler once wrote that, in the Declaration of Independence, the thirteen colonies acted not only against tyrannical acts inflicted “but also against tyranny anticipated.” (7) Clearly, truer words were never spoken as criminals – that is Democrats – who get away with tyranny will never stop applying more of the same. And, no surprise here, the Democrats already have declared the next set of tyrannical actions they intend to inflict on the American people. These include:

–Raising personal and business taxes to their pre-Trump, extortionate rates to pauperize the citizenry; to restore regulations to create a permanent non-growth economy; and to reinvigorate the bankrupting and intended-to-kill-the-elderly medical program of Obama, as well as to try to expand it to include Americans of all ages whose illnesses or physical infirmities are judged “too expensive” to pay for.

–Appointing judges to courts at all levels, especially the Supreme Court, who will ignore U.S. law, wage war against the Constitution and Bill of Rights – especially the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments – and protect the “right” to infanticide and to making a profit from the body parts cut out of the murdered.

–Tearing down the now-progressing and republic-protecting southern border wall to let in more millions of the Third World’s human detritus, those who come to America to live on the dole, sell their votes to Democrats who will pay with taxpayer money, and staff the operations of the Latin American drug cartels, human-trafficking organizations, pedophile networks, and street gangs.

–Enhancing legal-preference and protection for those among the illegals, foreigners, minorities, and sexually deviants who hate the United States and have engaged in violence against the citizenry and its property.

–Finishing the destruction of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments by having their Tech partners complete the censoring of conservative and Christian speech and electronic media; by having teachers punish and/or fail conservative-minded students; by having the traitors in the U.S. military seize privately owned weapons and ammunition, and by requiring all citizens to be implanted with a tracking chip for the false reason of fighting disease.

–Canceling all investigations, punishments, and executions of those who sought to destroy a legitimately elected U.S. government, impeach an innocent president, destroy the nation’s secure electoral system, and strengthen the ability of American teachers to drive hatred for the republic and its history into their students by inculcating the Democratic Party’s treasonous doctrines.

–Building on their successful election-rigging in 2018 mid-terms, the Democrats have pledged to force the use of mail-in-voting in the 2020 presidential election, this to ensure no non-Democrat president is elected in 2020 or in any future presidential election.

–6.) As Professor Tyler noted above for the founding generation, it must be admitted that today’s Americans have hard and abundant evidence of the tyranny Democrats’ already have imposed on them, and they have even better evidence – straight from Democrat mouths – of what the intend to do to enslave Americans after they steal the 2020 election. The second beating heart of the Declaration of Independence follows and should be memorized by all who know the Democratic Party must be, at long last, exterminated, if the republic is to be saved. The following is, of course, a refined, clearer, and more specific version of a statement drafted, by Jefferson and the great Pennsylvanian John Dickinson called “The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms,” (8) which was published by the Continental Congress on 6 July 1775. A year and two days later Jefferson and his co-drafters – Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Dr. Franklin, and John Adams – brilliantly revised the 1775 statement and, like that earlier statement, summarized the long history of English liberties and English republicanism, as well as the teachings of Machiavelli, the great American Protestant preacher Jonathan Mayhew, the Bible, and the Ancient Romans on which they were grounded. This they did to justify America’s war independence, and to stress the absolute duty of citizens to protect those liberties, teachings, and the republicanism they produced from destruction by, as another scared U.S. document demands, “enemies foreign and domestic.” Per the Declaration of Independence,

[To] secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. (9)

–7.) As all people know, the mere action of saying something does not make it so. America’s Founders also recognized this fact, and they took action to enable the citizenry’s enduring ability to destroy tyrannical governments. The Founders needed only 27 words – collectively forming the 2nd Amendment — to make the citizenry’s destruction of the tyrannical Democratic Party entirely possible: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (10)

–8.) That said, when the time comes to destroy the Democratic Party, fairness and mercy must be shown to America’s enemies threin. Therefore, the total number of Democrats to be eliminated absolutely must not be more than the number of Americans that Democrats and their hit-men at American Medical Association (AMA) have willfully — even joyfully — murdered and then dismembered since 1973.

Racism, hate, power-lust, and greed are part of human nature; they can be restrained, not ended; trying to do so means war

On the question of secession … I am ultra – I believe in coercion and cannot comprehend how any Government can exist unless it defends its integrity. Mode and Manner may be regulated by Policy and reason, but that any part of a people may carry off a part of the Common Territory without consent, or purchase, I cannot understand. William T. Sherman, 4 April 1861 (1)

The deliberately ill-educated are on the loose and violent across America, and, if the republic survives, control of education in America must be returned to local governments and the parents who elect that body. The absurd, violent, cruel, and hapless people who support, join, or donate to Black Lives Matter (BLM) are really the victims, not of racism, but of the lust for power and riches of (a) the Democratic Party, (b) the Department of Education, (c) the teachers’ unions, (d) the professoriate, (e) the mainstream media, (f) the Tech Titans, (g) Hollywood, and (h) so very much of the Christian clergy.

Quite obviously, that combination of entities has not produced well-rounded adults and responsible citizens. They have produced the pathetic jackasses who join groups like BLM. These groups consist of people whose word – even if intelligible — would be respected or valued only by those who are similarly mediocre and pathetic, or by madmen and those — like the Democrats — who need cannon fodder. Poor pathetic things, thugs, and slugs, they were never taught that the only thing in life and history that never, ever changes is human nature.

We all are born with same human nature. It cannot not be forced to change; at best, each person has a chance to control his worst characteristics and to work to enhance the better. Fools, like those in the entities named above, and especially in the little Reich they have together set up in Seattle, successfully hone the worst of human nature to a razor’s edge. Most Americans, on the other hand, strive for self-control, and bits of improvement in the worst characteristics of their own human natures.

Now, it is worthwhile thinking about the kind of people in history who have created the herds, arguments, and movements — like those created by the entities named above, and their subsidiary allies – and what these leaders, their activities, and their doctrines of forcing massive changes in human nature have wrought. The 20th century was sprinkled with mediocrities who were intent on perfecting men by indoctrination, torture, and lethal force. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, the tribes of Rwanda, and, most recently, the idiotic and murderous black political leaders of South Africa quickly come to mind. This last group of scum is not the most lethal, but is the most stupid. It already has ruined the South African economy – once that continent’s wealth-making jewel – and now are gradually murdering the remaining white South African farmers and their families. The result of this white genocide will eventually leave South Africa and the surrounding countries unable to feed themselves. Well done, Mandela.

Similar monsters have stalked the United States. Margaret Sanger, for example, championed abortion in part because she believed it would, over time, eliminate America’s black population. She was triumphant in every sense, as abortion is now the main legal instrument with which to murder blacks in America. A few bad-apple cops will never take that trophy away from Ms. Sanger, at least as long as her fellow monsters Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Ralph, Northam, and their corpse-loving crowd are around, and they and their allies can raise campaign funds by selling the body parts of murdered infants.

Indeed, the only real threat to Sanger – who has 61-plus million scalps on her belt so far – lies in that mad-hatter of a eugenicist known as Bill Gates. Allied with the anti-humans who rule the UN, the Democratic Party, the media, the West’s medical/scientific establishment, and other necromaniacs and pedophiles, Gates keeps his reportedly murderous vaccines well-hidden in far off India and Africa, where they are steadily harvesting great crops of dead people who believed Gates intended to help them. And what does Gates think about his fellow Americans? Well, he is almost rabid in his desire to create and own the first vaccine for the Chinese Virus, so that he can “help” people in The United States just as his other vaccines have helped people overseas.

These days, except for American abortionists-cum-black-eliminators, the murderous billionaire vaccine merchants, the Chinese communists, and the racist black South African political leaders, extermination campaigns appear less frequently in world. But as fate would have it, the Democrats and the UN have allied themselves with those that remain, with the Democrats taking the lead in organizing and funding their very own brain-dead rioters and looters, as well as Nazi-like terrorist groups, such as ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter (BLM), By Any Means Necessary (BAM), etc. The people who are eager to fill the ranks of these groups make Hitler’s brown-shirts look like intellectual giants. And, like the brown-shirts, they are utterly expendable.

The bright side of the last month’s rioting, looting, vicious rhetoric, arson, killings, theft, and criminality – and perhaps Trump not moving against all of it too soon – is that loyal Americans of all races have been quietly watching the cost of placating the scoundrels who are doing the damage, and so are coming to realize that these two-bit, street-criminals can never be satisfied, and so must be made to surrender unconditionally or face the wrath of loyal Americans – northern and southern. These loyal Americans, though not often vociferous, are not the pandering, kneeling, whining, weeping, white-hating, and money-grubbing folk who run major U.S. businesses and banks, much of Wall Street, the academy, the media, the social media, Hollywood, and the Democratic Party. You know, these are the folks and entities that have indoctrinated and organized the ill-educated people who currently are playing the role of violent slaves/insurrectionists and mindless sheep, and are now destroying major U.S. cities.

The last time America faced civil war, William T. Sherman, a good friend of the South, but on the verge of rejoining the U.S. Army, warned his southern friends that they were underestimating the resolve of northern Americans to preserve the Union that was founded in 1787. “You are rushing into war,” Sherman said on 24 December 1860, “with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical and determined people on earth – right at your doors.” (2)

Sherman could easily have been warning the clowns and sheep/slaves running the new Reich colony in Seattle and the rest of their associates across the republic, all of whom are being prepared for the slaughter that is the inevitable if the Democrats’ effort to break the Union continues. But this war will not end as did the war of 1861-1865. There will be no respect for the insurrectionists in the street, for their political and financial backers, or for their ideas and demands. There will be none of the mercy and thirst for reconciliation that was manifested and worked for by Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Robert E. Lee, and much of the population, north and south, after Appomattox.

This is the Democrat slave-drivers’ second attempt to break the Union and enslave its people. It will be their last.

Some U.S. generals and admirals are trying to destroy the republic

Over three or four days last week, America’s general officer corps again disgraced itself to the bottom of its never dirty or bloody combat boots. Two Marine generals, James Mattis and John Allen, the Navy’s Admiral Mike Mullen, and, most recently, Army General Colin Powell have damned with “contemptuous words” the President of the United States for trying to suppress multiple coup attempts and a broad domestic insurrection now nearing the start of its fourth year.

These four oily cretins bring the total of America’s anti-Trump, never-won-a-war general officers and admirals to a total of several dozen. For anyone who doubts the reality of serial coup attempts during the Trump administration, they need look no further than these treacherous flag officers. As a group, they are emitting a stench that can only remind Americans of the stink from the many Latin American and African countries that regularly have been ruined and bloodied by disloyal, power-loving, and money-grubbing senior military officers.

Americans has been lucky. For most of the republic’s history, the U.S. military has performed loyally and silently. America has had a good-long run of success at keeping the always latent threat of a military-wrecked nation at bay. There have been generals – George McClelland and Douglas MacArthur – who straddled the line that separates loyalty and coup-making, but now there are dozens.

The republic’s Founders – to a man – recognized and feared the dangers to liberty, republicanism, and equality before the law posed by what was called, in their era, a “Standing Army”. During the Constitutional Convention, and then the subsequent ratification debates over the Constitution (1787-1788), the Anti-Federalists were vigorous, consistent, and eloquent in their warnings about the threat to liberty inherently posed by a Standing Army. The pro-Constitution Federalists were less outspoken on this issue but they recognized that threat as clearly as did their political foes. One of the reasons for this near-unanimity was that the Founders’ generation read and studied Cato’s Letters – 138 in total – that were published In London between 5 November 1720 and 7 December 1723. The letters were written by two Englishmen, John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon. (1) To this day, no other publication has laid out so clearly the dangers to liberty and republican government are always posed by a standing army

Both Anti-Federalists and Federalists, however, were realists dealing with reality. Although they clearly believed, from their knowledge of history and their own recent experience with the presence of a British standing army, that a standing army was a timeless threat to liberty. Most of these men also knew – or accepted — that the territory of the new republic was enormous and surrounded by enemies — British, Spanish, and Indian tribes – and that it also was faced with the tasks of protecting Americans moving into unsettled lands, as well as protecting harbors and maritime trade, manning forts, and providing a response force in case of a foreign attack. They created an exceedingly small standing army and, eventually, a navy of the same limited size was created.

That said, some of the Anti-Federalists manfully stood by their opposition, particularly a man who used the pseudonym “Brutus”. In the 10th of his public letters – dated 24 January 1788 – Brutus wrote,

I firmly believe, no country in the world had ever a more patriotic army, than the one which so ably served this country, in the late war [against Britain].

But had the General who commanded them [George Washington], been possessed of the spirit of a Julius Cesar or a Cromwell, the liberties of this country, had in all probability, terminated with the war; or had they been maintained, might have cost more blood and treasure, than was expended in the conflict with Great-Britain. When an anonimous writer addressed the officers of the army at the close of the war, advising them not to part with their arms, until justice was done them — the effect it had is well known. It affected them like an electric shock. He wrote like Cesar; and had the commander in chief, and a few more officers of rank, countenanced the measure, the desperate resolution had been taken, to refuse to disband. What the consequences of such a determination would have been, heaven only knows.

Fortunately indeed for this country, it had at the head of the army, a patriot as well as a general; and many of our principal officers, had not abandoned the characters of citizens, by assuming that of soldiers, and therefore, the scheme proved abortive. But are we to expect, that this will always be the case? Are we so much better than the people of other ages and of other countries, that the same allurements of power and greatness, which led them aside from their duty, will have no influence upon men in our country? Such an idea, is wild and extravagant. …

From these remarks, it appears, that the evil to be feared from a large standing army in time of peace, does not arise solely from the apprehension, that the rulers may employ them for the purpose of promoting their own ambitious views, but that equal, and perhaps greater danger, is to be apprehended from their overturning the constitutional powers of the government, and assuming the power to dictate any form they please. (2)

Brutus nailed the problem on its head. What we are seeing today, in the retired U.S. flag officers seeking to aid the overthrow of a legitimately elected president and administration, proves the correctness of Brutus’s judgement that “perhaps a greater danger” from a standing army was that it would work at “overturning the constitutional powers of the government, and assuming the power to dictate any form they please.” Not being men of character, manliness, and moral courage such as those who predominated at our founding, these generals and admirals have aligned themselves with a Democratic Party that has pledged itself to the destruction of the Constitution and so republican government. If the Democrats succeed, they will reward the Trump-hating generals and award them with the highly-paid honor of trying to bloodily cow the citizenry into their new status as slaves to madmen.

The time has come to see these generals and admirals for what they are: time-serving, uniformed bureaucrats, men and women who live like kings while serving, and strut into corporation-provided fortunes after they retire. Americans have been propagandized into believing that these flag officers are nearly gods, and so applaud them for their service to the country and treat their words as if they were the product of savants.

In doing so, Americans seem to forget that these generals and admirals have not won a war since 1945, and that they are monumental hypocrites. When these officers attend the funeral of a young Marine or soldier killed in war, they turn, at the service’s end, to the parents of the deceased and assure them that their son or daughter had died to protect liberty in the United States. In this action, they lie like the bastards they are. No war since September, 1945, has threatened American liberty at home, though the government’s involvement in such unnecessary wars always did so, and also increased the taxpayers’ burden to extortionate levels.

Alongside the flag officers’ lies, stands their abject lack of personal moral courage. None of them, that I am aware of, have ever told a grieving parent that, while serving, he or she had been a willing gutless wonder, a man or woman ready and eager to lead their sons and daughters to their deaths in wars that they knew the commander-in-chief had no intention of winning.

Those deaths paid the price of unmerited glory for the generals and admirals who are now helping the Democrats to destroy the republic.

Mr. Trump: Time is short. What are you waiting for?

Mr. Trump: The only racism I clearly see at the moment is being directed mostly toward Whites and Asians. Many members of the other so-called “colored communities” are beating and killing Whites, Asians, and some Blacks, burning and looting their businesses, intimidating their families, and terrorizing their children. And there is zero evidence that the “overwhelmingly sincere and peaceful protestors” are trying to rid their ranks of these rabid insurgents; indeed, they appear to be welcoming them. Shitbirds of a feather.

In addition, Democratic mayors across the country are defunding police forces and speaking of disbanding them. The Democratic Party’ national leaders are holding hands with and arming the insurgents — Et tu Mr. Buffett, Mr. Soros, and Mr. Gates? – and the Democrat’s and their swinish media are snuggling up even closer to the burners, killers, looters, brick throwers, etc. — that is, the cruel, ugly, stupid, merciless, and death-worthy animals that are now loose in our streets.

There is no use talking about reuniting the country until those constituting the sub-human insurgent threat that is now actively killing their fellow citizens and burning/looting their property are incarcerated or, preferably, dead. Ask yourself, Sir, where were all these peaceful protest0rs on each of the many dozens of times MS-13 has raped, killed, and then chopped-to-pieces innocent children, young people, and senior citizens? How much of a ruckus did the “peaceful protestors” make then?

You and all of us know that they were nowhere to be seen or even heard. Why? Because the snarling animals of MS-13 — Pelosi calls them “children of God” — and the republic’s enemies who are now in the streets are allies, cut from the same murderous cloth, and convinced that Americans and their government do not have the moxie to put them in their graves. The national government’s response to their indiscriminate violence so far can only have reinforced that conviction.

Mr. President, the defining features of all the foreign wars the U.S. military has fought since 1945 are three in number: (a) The serving president did not care if we won the war he got us into; (b) No U.S. general officer had the guts — or was happy to keep sucking riches from the public trough — to resign and publicly tell the president that he would not lead our Marines and soldiers into wars the president had no intention of winning; and (c) America has been defeated in all of its wars since 1945.

Sir, you must not allow the rabble and America-hating scum of this society that are now in the streets to defeat the republic at home, just as the foreign rabble and scum have defeated us on many battlefields. If you have enough loyal general officers to destroy the domestic enemy, arrest the disloyal generals and do so as soon as you can, and use as much violence as is necessary to terminate this threat forever.

Think of it this way, Mr. President. Those attacking the republic and the loyal citizenry of all colors are an integral part of the Democratic Party. To rid the republic of this vicious, semi-human threat, the national government should not use excessive violence or animosity. It should respond proportionately and use no more effective violence than that the Democrats have used to murder 61 million-plus innocent infants since 1973, and have no more empathy for the domestic enemy than that shown by Butcher Cuomo and other Democrat governors when they shoved so many of the elderly into nursing homes to die.

When you act to save the republic, Sir, you could properly call the operation “What Goes Around, Comes Around”. Get cracking.

Mr. President, take a hint from Mr. Lincoln

Below, Sir, is part of Mr. Lincoln’s Proclamation of 15 April 1861. In it, Lincoln is responding to the armed rebellion that Confederate President Jefferson Davis had initiated by bombarding Fort Sumter (12-13 April 1861). By then, seven southern states had already seceded, formed the Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) government, and adopted a new constitution. That new government disrupted the delivery of the mails and the federal judiciary’s proceedings in most of the South. It also had seized several federal forts and arsenals in the Confederate states. There was, however, no burning of cities, destruction of businesses, incarceration of pro-Unionists, or attacks on citizens who opposed secession. Indeed, the Confederate republic was created by states that had been authorized to secede by their citizens in democratic elections. In those elections, voters were free to vote for or against against secession.

The contemporary American republic has been facing the same kind of insurrection since 2016, perhaps even earlier, and now faces well-managed, armed riots that are the direct equivalent to, but far more destructive and deadly, than the immediate results of Mr. Davis’s attack on Fort Sumter. Many Democratic governed states, for example, long ago seceded from the Union and forbid their police forces from keeping the peace. In those states. the Democrats and their bureaucrats have rooted out republican government, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights to a far greater extent than the Confederate government ever thought of doing. Indeed, that C.S.A.’s Constitution created a republican government. It also contained several improvements that would not have been an embarrassment to the U.S. Constitution, such as a line item veto for the president’s use. (1)

Mr. President, you and we are clearly facing a rebellion that, as Mr. Lincoln said, is “too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law.” Do the necessary, Mr. President, and do it now. You have troops at hand, legal authority to act, and are facing an enemy far more dangerous to the republic than the Confederate States of America ever were.

You must get cracking, Mr. President. Democrats never change, except to become an ever-more tyrannical, violent, vicious, and inhuman threat to the life of the republic.

A PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS the laws of the United States have been, for some time past, and now are opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law.

Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Abraham Lincoln (2)

Mr. President: U.S. forces must crush this insurrection — or armed citizens will

Mr. President, what possible reason is there not to immediately attack the rioters who are sacking multiple American cities? The rioters do not give a good damn about Mr. Floyd, who is reported to have died at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman. That man has been charged with a crime, and indictments for his three partners may be coming. Due process will decide their legal fate.

Using the transparent lie of supporting the deceased, the rioters actually are engaged in destroying many millions of dollars of public and private property, the small businesses of many citizens, interrupting the nation’s commerce and economy, and terrorizing law-abiding citizens. In short, and as always in the last twenty years, the rioters are the paid minions of the Democratic Party and its financial backers — read George Soros — and are trying, with enormous media support, to advance the Democrats’ goal of destroying the republic and its Constitution. They are violent anarchists or just plain criminals and terrorists and so merit no more than a fair trial after their violence has been stopped and they are arrested and confined.

But the first priority – in Minneapolis, Scottsdale, Louisville, Seattle, Portland, Nashville, Fargo, New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Madison, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Wilmington, etc. – must be to stop the rioters assault on life and property. (NB: It is worth noting that only the Democratic Party and its media slaves want this violence, and that only they have the country-wide organizational structures that can support this all-nation violence.) Any police chief who orders his officers to allow the rioters to assault citizens and destroy property ought to be relieved of command and replaced by a stronger hand. If the country’s police chiefs, as a whole, are unwilling to stop the violence, then martial law should be applied in every city where local police allow rioter violence to prevail.

Once the police chiefs, or their military replacements, are ready to act, they must deploy their snipers to the areas in which violence is occurring. Armed with rifles and bullets containing a dose of tranquilizer sufficient to quickly sedate any window-smasher, business-or-car burner, or person-harmer/killer, the snipers should be ordered to shoot any and every obviously violent rioter, each of whom, once becalmed, can be picked up, given medical attention, and charged with the appropriate crime. The capability has long existed to sedate wild animals in this manner – even elephants – and it can be no difficult task to use the same process to quell the wild, semi-human rioters who are engaged in the destruction of property and human beings.

There must be no brooking of any bullshit assertion that such a strategy would “only make things worse”. Hundreds or thousands of tranquilizer-addled and jailed rioters would give pause to their brethren and cause a good many to flee for safer parts, after all they have for two decades never once experienced a determined challenge to their premeditated, anti-American violence. Indeed, between 2008 and 2016 they were abetted by Barack Obama and his Cabinet. If, by chance, tranquilizers do not turn the trick – and the violence continues to destroy lives and property – the snipers should be issued ammunition that will allow them to shoot-to-kill with appropriate vigor.

After having watched the Democrats, for over 40 months, try to destroy the republic and its economy via coups, impeachments, unending lie-laced news, rigged elections, fixed-judicial processes, and a flu over-hyped by Democratic leaders, Democrat-loyal Deep-Staters in the federal civil/medical services (who are likely in the pay of Bill Gates), and Democrat/Soros-sponsored terrorists in ANTIFA and its allied groups, the time has come to definitively end what is obviously a well-planned and nationwide domestic insurrection and then restore republican government across all of the Union.

And it must, indeed, be ended in manner that will impress the Democrats, their media slaves, the deep-staters, and the ANTIFA terrorists in a way that acquaints them with the blood-curdling and perhaps lethal cost of seeking to destroy the American republic.

If you do not end this insurrection, Mr. Trump, the 2nd Amendment provides another remedy for the problem, one that would see the people under attack respond in a manner that certainly would be less mindful of the lives of the worthless terrorists than would any milk-and-water “You will face justice threat!” that comes from you and Attorney General Barr. That warning, in any event, would be slowed and undermined by FBI Director Wray and his team of crooks at every step along the way.

At long last, Mr. President, you must apply the painful smack of good government against the insurrection that is being waged against the republic and its loyal citizens. Promises to apply justice to the Democrats’ terrorists are sick jokes if you do not first end the increasing violence being blithely directed against the lives of American citizens, their businesses and neighborhoods, the economy, and public property.

An important follow up; please see below

 

Please see: https://reason.com/2020/05/27/nursing-homes-account-for-42-percent-of-americas-covid-19-fatalities/

It is a superbly detailed and important piece. I wrote and published a little longer piece on the article earlier today, but it has disappeared from sight. Coincidence I suppose.

On killing the old, a doctors’ coup, Hong Kong, and an Obama pardon

Well, it seems the Chinese Virus has given Democratic governors a splendid opportunity to try out the signature part of the Obama’s healthcare program, the death panels. Around the country, these governors – with Andrew Cuomo of New York so far the over-achiever –  joined in a practice of letting older people catch and die from the Chinese Virus in nursing homes, they reportedly even sent people to the homes to up the dead count. This method of operation got an early start in Washington State, and it worked so well there the Democrats are trying it out in the states where they have governors. Obama, Hillary, and Ezekiel Emmanuel must be grinning from ear-to-ear. For them and most Democrats, there is nothing better than making Americans die, especially infants and the elderly, neither of whom can fight back. The other venue for trying out death panels was – until Trump came to the rescue – the Veteran Administration’s hospitals where the reality was that sometimes legless, arm-less, chemically poisoned, or mentally disturbed veterans are not as spry as they once were, and so could be left to be toyed with, tortured, or to die.

I must admit that it never really occurred to me that the Deep State would include the national government’s medical/scientific/health-research establishment, that the National Institutes of Health would be no better than Comey’s loathsome FBI. Now, however, it seems clear that these branches of government and their leaders – one flush with U.S. taxpayer cash, the other with vastly overpaid side jobs from Bill Gates so they will push his deranged theories about vaccines, population control, and the UN’s role as the proper agent of each – have perpetrated a multi-trillion dollar disease-fraud on their fellow citizens. The fraud, as executed by Federal civil servants, greatly and knowingly over-hyped the Chinese Virus as an agent of rampant death; refused to protect Americans via the use of the safe-drug Hydroxychloroquine; greatly inflated death statistics; and deprived the citizenry of the rewarding Trump economy, the last after four presidents who were economic morons, thieves, or socialists. These fraudsters have now left Americans waiting for a flood of suicides, high numbers of deaths among the ill who did not get care during the lockdown, and the possibility of a long recession and high unemployment. On the welcome day of their post-trial executions, Comey, Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Rice, McCabe, Clapper, etc. better leave room on the gallows so that the Federal civil servants, doctors, scientists, and modelers who have sabotaged the nation and its citizens into economic/unemployment disaster can also swing.

Concurrently, the Chinese communists and Democratic Party leaders appear to have once again put the Hong Kong issue into play as a diversion to help the Democrats ease the nation’s increasing focus on their flu-fraud, graft, corruption, and treason. The media report that Beijing is about to apply harsh new laws that will wipe out pro-democracy forces in Hong Kong. In response, and right on cue, Trump administration spokesmen – especially Pompeo – and members of both parties in the Congress are demanding that the United States deliver pain on China if it neutralizes the island’s pro-democracy faction. Two points on this issue are important in preventing an unnecessary U.S. fight with China:

(a) The security of the United States is never dependent on how many democracies there are, or can be established, on the planet. Indeed, post-1945 events show that the Western European democracies and Israel’s democracy have been the bane of the republic’s existence. American taxpayers pay – via NATO – a large part of the defense bills for NATO’s 27 other member democracies. Israel’s democracy, at the same time, has corrupted the U.S. political system; kept both hands permanently in U.S. taxpayer’s pockets to get huge dole payments they arrogantly see as their right; and never misses a chance to promote the Muslim world’s hatred for the United States.

(b) In 1997, the UK, with complete U.S. and EU support, deliberately delivered the people of Hong Kong to the murderous governing style and traditions of the Chinese communists. All parties to that decision now claim, in their best Claude Rains’ voice, that they are “shocked” that Beijing is intent on creating a communist hell in Hong Kong after only 23 of the 50 years it pledged to keep hands-off the island. Why would any moderately well-educated British, American, or European leader ever take the word – even if it is inscribed in a treaty – of a Chinese communist as having any value as an accurate sign of his intentions. The years from 1917 to 2020 have witnessed a parade of broken promises and subsequent mass murder from the big three communist states, the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea. A paraphrase of Ingrid Bergman is apropos here “You may remember what Chinese promises have been worth in the past.” There is no possible way any sane U.S. or Western leader can be surprised by China’s current lethal intent toward Hong Kong’s democracy-protesters. The only surprises are that it took China 23 years to break its world, and that – and maybe this is not so surprising – U.S. and West leaders have not publicly admitted that they gladly signed-on in support of the 1997 death warrant for Hong Kong’s population. Those leaders knew then, and know now, that there will be no permanent, Western-style democracy in Hong Kong. It is much too late, too expensive, and too irrelevant to U.S. security to get involved with a fight with China over a gift U.S. leaders — the Clinton gang — helped Britain give Beijing 23 years ago.

Finally, on 20 May 2020 the Blaze’s website printed an article by Steve Deace called “President Trump should Pardon Barack Obama”.[1] In essence, Mr. Deace argues that Americans have experienced great turmoil during the past three years and, to put an end to that disruption, as well as to reunite Americans, President Trump ought to pardon Obama. Afterwards, Mr. Deace argues, Americans can get along and can proceed to a bright new era of prosperity and national unity. On reading the peace, I thought that the article was long piece of sarcasm, as if Obama – the author of treason, coups, and authoritarianism – would be a post-pardon, perfect citizen rather than a rabid cur, and that the members of the Deep State and the corrupt federal judiciary would dismantle themselves and pal around, smoking dope with Obama. It seems, however, that some readers of that article are taking it seriously. The article should be considered dead on arrival. There is no possible reconciliation with Obama and the treasonous denizens of his Deep State. He and his gang brought the republic, its Constitution, and its citizenry to the edge of an abyss they designed. There is no sane ground for compromise with this lot, and those who would seriously propose such a deal can only be supporters of Obama, Democrats, tyranny, and the destruction of the republic. It is time to raise the black flag and forever rid the Union of the current lethal scourge by which it is under siege. The fine American author, critic, and curmudgeon H.L. Mencken wrote in 1921 that “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, raise the black flag, and begin slitting throats [2] Truer words, truer words.

In 2016, Putin wanted a Clinton win because he owned her

As noted here previously, Godaddy deleted this blog in, I think,  July, 2018. It was a summary execution, simply a note that said “You’re done and there is no appeal.” Most of the finished pieces from the blog did not remain on my hard drive, but a few did. Below is one of them from 14 October 2016.

I am publishing it again because (a) most who read this blog probably did not see it, and (2) because it was written to address a question that is again current: “Did Putin favor Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in 2016?” The media today are speaking of former CIA Director John Brennan as having suppressed reliable intelligence that Moscow favored Clinton because Trump would be a smart, stubborn, and strong-willed opponent. It is not hard to believe that Brennan, being the slug he is, would do this. He was, after all, already committing treason against the republic and its next president.

The real question is why did he bother? Anyone with a bit of commonsense should have known that Putin owned Hillary because she had — with Obama and Holder — sold out the republic to Russia in the Uranium1 deal, as well as by providing all of America’s foes with hundreds of thousands of sensitive e-mails via her unsecured server, most of which were written by her, Obama, Biden, Kerry, other senior Cabinet officers, and probably lickspittle U.S. generals and Democratic Supreme Court justices.

But, as we have seen, commonsense is a commodity in short supply these days, and so Americans have waded through muck for four years to find out what a moderately well educated person should have recognized in 2016; namely, that Putin and his gang feared Trump and loved Hillary, not because of her beauty (obviously) but because they had exploited her and her husband’s venality, arrogance, and ant-Americanism to the point of seeing her as a bought-and-paid for servant.

Anyway, that’s what commonsense told me then, and now.

Is Putin really stupid enough to want Trump to be president?

By mike | Published: October 14, 2016
In a republic whose media are rife with lunacy, addled by sex, and enthralled by magically appearing damsels in distress, there are few crazier analyses than that which argues Russian president Vladimir Putin wants Donald Trump to win the presidency.
Let us leave aside that Putin’s government is closely linked to Mrs. Clinton’s senior lieutenant John Podesta’s consulting company, which was hired and paid by Putin’s favorite Russian bank. (1) Let us also leave aside the fact Putin also has all of the e-mails – as do China, Iran, and others – that Mrs. Clinton and her traitorous, Comey/Lynch-immunized team of IT experts and senior aides made easily accessible to the republic’s enemies. There is no use arguing this point. Whether Julian Assange got none, some, or all of his Clinton e-mails from Putin’s intelligence service is irrelevant. (NB: My own guess – and it is only that – is that Assange got them via his own methods, perhaps including the young DNC employee murdered in Washington after Assange’s first Clinton-related leak, about which the media is now silent.)
Mr. Putin is not a moron. There simply is no way that it is in Putin’s and Russia’s interests to give Assange the cream of the crop of the Clinton e-mails; namely, those that document Clinton’s sale of the influence via the Clinton Foundation while secretary of state; those showing her extorting highly paid speaking jobs for he husband; those demonstrating the top-secret material she intentionally put on the unsecured server is now safely cached on secure servers in Moscow; and those that show she is wholly responsible for the murder of four Americans in Benghazi and the Iranian nuclear scientist who was working for U.S. intelligence.
No, dear, dumb media and foreign-policy experts, those e-mails – or at least copies of them – will be presented, if she is elected, to President Clinton by the Russian ambassador just after the inauguration. The copies will be accompanied by a short, hand-written note from Putin that will read something like, “Madam President, congratulations to you and to me! Please read these documents and then guess who is now calling the shots. Call me soon — that’s not a suggestion. Respectfully, V. Putin.”
Does anyone really think that Putin is stupid enough to give away one of history’s greatest intelligence coups by giving all the e-mails he derived from Mrs. Clinton’s unsecured server to Mr. Assange to exhaust prior to an election from which may emerge a U.S. president whom he will be able to control, perhaps even command? No, Mr. Putin is much too talented, street smart, nationalistic, and, frankly, simply has too much of a taste for the jugular of Russia’s enemies to do such a self-defeating thing and thereby let Mrs. Clinton off the meat hook she crafted for herself and on which she so richly deserves to be impaled.
But, again, let us leave aside the realities of the Catholic-hating Podesta playing Putin’s cat’s-paw and Mrs. Clinton’s obvious treason, and again ask why the Russian president would want a hard-ass, frugal, economy-reviving, nationalist like Trump to be president, when he could have a corrupt, compromised, lawless, profligate, bankruptcy-loving, and civil war-promoting virago like Mrs. Clinton at the helm of Russia’s greatest enemy? If he did want Trump elected, Putin would be trying to end a string of four U.S. presidents — Bush, Clinton, Bush, and especially Obama – whose mad foreign and economic policies have all but killed America, while putting Russia back on the road toward superpower-dom, even though its economy is still in only marginally better condition than the shambles the USSR left behind. This kind of self-immolating tack can make sense to no one except a Democrat or Anderson Cooper. (NB: Forgive my being redundant.)
What Putin absolutely does not want to encounter – much less help to elect — is a U.S. president bent on reestablishing the republic’s financial solvency, military and economic power, social cohesion, and rule-of-law. Nor does he want to face a U.S. president who will stop conducting a foreign policy of relentless and unnecessary interventionism, which is, clearly, a pro-Russia policy in that it has earned much of the world’s hatred, all of its laughter for America losing the wars Washington starts, and which has made Putin and Russia appear to be a stronger, smarter, more reliable, and less indiscriminately destructive nation than the United States.
No, Putin is not going to waste all of the best e-mail bullets he stole from Clinton’s unsecured server in order to prevent the election of a hectoring woman whose personal greed, dreams of open borders, elitism, stated intentions, education, Ivy League-colleagues, and tyrannical goals certainly will finish the destruction of the United States — either by bankruptcy, civil war, or both – and quicken the rehabilitation of Russia’s international stature and power.  Indeed, Putin knows that, with Clinton’s election, Russia will be well-positioned to win the nearly 75 year-old contest between Russia and the United States, and would be set do so without firing a shot, spending a nickel, or losing a soldier.
If Putin knows anything about U.S. history, he must know that Mrs. Clinton – despite her recent assertions – is not even the palest shadow of Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Clinton is as close to being like Lincoln, as her husband is to being like a celibate monk. But what Mr. Putin might not know is that Mrs. Clinton, her party, and their supporters are fully capable of making one of Lincoln’s still-pending predictions come true. “Shall we expect,” Lincoln asked an audience in Illinois in January, 1838,
“some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio [River] or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach[es] us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.”
Mrs. Clinton’s actions as president surely would make Mr. Lincoln’s prediction come true. Under Mrs. Clinton and her party, the American “nation of freemen” undoubtedly will “die by suicide”, and she, her party, their supporters, and most of the media will be “the author and finisher” of the republic’s destruction.
Mr. Putin must be licking his chops.

Reward the medical “experts” with tar and feathers?

Forty-five years ago, when I was an undergraduate, I read a book called Power, Morals, and the Founding Fathers, by a fine historian named Adrienne Koch. The book was excellent, then and now, and there was one passage in Professor Koch’s work which has remained fresh in my mind to this day. I dug out the book from my shelves this morning. The passage that stayed with me follows.

In a discussion of several issues “important for democracy in our time”, Professor Koch writes,

“The first involves the role of the expert. This represents a serious political problem in a complex industrial society that wants to maintain its democratic ethos. Hamilton was not only an expert in financial matters but really believed that only those who are an expert, a quality he associated with the rich and well-born, should control. To overcome the dangers implicit in control of experts, it is necessary to provide mechanisms for assuring there is constant confrontation of experts so as to bring to light the different issues of fact and value implicit in all recommendations. This is most important, because there is a magical area that surrounds the role of the expert, which is a danger to democracy.” [1 – italics added]

Looking back to my first reading of this passage, it seems that Americans  for a half-century have put great trust and enormous funding into seeking advice from “experts” in nearly every sphere of the republic’s life and that the payoff for the investment has been unrelenting disaster. A few of examples of “expert” predictions and analyses that were dead wrong would include: a light at the end of the Vietnam Tunnel from 1965 to 1975; the assessment that infants in the womb are not human beings; the exhaustion of the earth’s petroleum reserves in the 1970s; the arrival of a new and catastrophic Ice Age; cakewalk military victories in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan; and an overheating of the planet that would yield submerged coastal cities, the end of snow and icebergs, and a year-round, ice-free Arctic Ocean long before 2020.

All the predictors who gave us these half-assed predictions were supported in their absurd analysis with dozens of laughable models, and hundreds of think-tank and university reports that agreed with the laughable models. Naturally, all of these foolish mistakes (lies?) were accompanied by a frenetic media that sharpened the unwarranted fears of the public that the predictions were meant to ignite and keep fueling. Interestingly, the only solution proposed to ward off any of these predicted disasters was for the citizenry to fork over more of their earnings (and liberty) to the national government to spend on work of the always wrong “experts”, their predictions, and their media shills. This reality recently was underscored by a meme showing, if I recall correctly, a picture of Obama and bearing the phrase “If you pay even more exorbitant taxes and surrender your liberties to your government, it will cool the planet for you and your family.”

And now we have the Chinese Virus, and, with it, the predictors have stumbled onto a miracle. Their predictions, studies, and models about the illness have been dead wrong. Yet the country’s entire economy has been closed down — yielding c. 20-percent unemployment — on the strength of that bad analysis, those lousy predictions, and the cunningly soothing words and advice from carnival barkers like Fauci, Birks, the CDC, and thousands of their media allies.

Most of the the latter lack enough brains to take their own temperatures, but some mysterious entity has given them the absolute confidence to assert the uselessness and danger of using Hydroxychloroquine to try and cure those ill with the Chinese Virus, or using it as a defense against it. These hacks chant this warning even as the lives of the sick in many other countries are being saved by the drug. Oddly, U.S. doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel are using it to cure and protect themselves, but I suppose that is because the medical “experts” want to save their foot soldiers. The truth about the drug? Well, even Google confirms there is no harm in trying to save lives with Hydroxychloroquine (2).

Along with these fraudulent “expert” predictors and their media parrots, we are also under attack by Democratic leaders – especially Democratic governors – bent on keeping the republic closed-down until it expires; to use law to prevent people from keeping their jobs and businesses alive and families fed — this they call the “Families First Act”; and slowly preparing a situation in which the citizenry will only be able to vote by mail in the thereby fixed November, 2020, election. Then, after Trump is gone, citizens will be forced to submit to probably debilitating vaccine inoculations, be chipped, cooperate with universal tracking, and be happy to accept an invitation to experience “dignified isolation” in detainment camps.

Doubt this progression? Los Angeles County officials and their health “experts” just confined their citizens (subjects?) to home for three more months, which will further wreck the state’s economy. Concerned for their health? Not a chance. Newsom, Pelsosi, Finestein, Harris, and their fellow fascists have bankrupted California. They are now angling for a federal bailout and they need a slaughtered economic to get one. As always for California’s elected officials and their “experts”, their attitude towards the state’s citizens is precisely the same as their attitude toward babies in the womb, namely, “Fuck’em, make ‘em die.” Dead citizens after all make for more Democratic voters. Ditto, of course, for New York, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, etc. Indeed, the rule of thumb is “find a Democrat, find a fascist”, or, I suppose, a China-paid communist.

Time is getting short, as the rising number of anti-quarantine and pro-open-up demonstrators across the country suggests. At this point, these courageous people – some of them fully armed, praise God — are rightly aiming at the targets nearest to home; that is, the Democratic governors and local officials of such states as Michigan, Virginia, New York, Minnesota, New Jersey, Illinois, and California. Break the will of these officials and their “experts” to remain fascists, and then let Trump, his administration, Attorney General Barr, and the military try to take care of the rest of the problem.

But, damn it, Mr. President you must get the republic’s coercive power off its ass soon. Treason has been committed by the coup attempts against you and your administration; several states have defied the law and, in essence, are waging an insurrection against the national government and the Constitution; many states can no longer be said to enjoy the “republican government” that is guaranteed by the Constitution; several governors are illegally scuttling the 2nd Amendment in their states, especially here in Virginia; the Democrats are using their governors and Big Tech buddies to censor the citizenry and smash the 1st Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion, assembly and speech; at least three dozen former U.S. general officers are attacking and undermining you, with that shitbird McChrystal using technology paid for by the taxpayers to do so; and the Democrats have used the federal health bureaucracy’s “experts” to destroy the economy and weaken national security. YOU MUST ACT, Mr. President, or, by God, the unemployed, impoverished, exploited, confined, but armed citizenry will act. There are, after all, a host of targets who have arrogantly, even joyously identified themselves as haters and enemies of the republic, the Constitution, and the overwhelming number of their fellow citizens. Move soon, Sir, move soon.

It also is worth recalling that, in the latter part of the 18th century, many Americans found an inexpensive, effective, and readily available tool to use to break the will of those of their august, self-important fellow citizens who took salaries, titles, and land grants from the British king and government in return for helping to strip their fellow Americans of their wealth and liberties. The tool was a generous application of a dose of tar-and-feathers, and, more often than not, it somewhat painfully turned the trick. (3)

Traditions meant to protect liberty, are easy to apply, and generally work ought never be abandoned. Tar and feathers is an obvious one. Armed resistance against a Democratic Party and its allies bent on destroying the Union — as it sought to do in 1861 — is another such tradition.
