President Trump has recently been indicted for the third time, for the second time by Biden’s “Justice Department.” A fourth indictment, from a Georgia district attorney, is expected within the next two weeks. The charges are all nonsense, spun up by Marxist “lawfare” activists who have contempt for American political traditions, the United States Constitution, and the centuries-old common law traditions of the liberty-loving, English-speaking peoples.
The Republican-controlled House could easily put a stop this prosecutorial abuse, by de-funding special prosecutor Jack Smith, and withholding federal funds from the states of New York and Georgia until the prosecutions are dropped. But they won’t do that, because Washington Republicans hate Donald Trump more than the Democrats hate him, and Jack Smith is doing exactly what they want. Establishment Republicans, and especially their donors, desperately want Trump gone from the political scene.
Why is there such animosity toward Donald Trump? The media wants you to think it is because of Trump’s “mean tweets” or other issues with his personal demeanor. But the billionaire donors funding opposition to Trump in both parties, and in all major and minor American media, are not extraordinarily stupid people. They have real reasons for opposing Trump. In his efforts to revive the American working class, Trump interfered with a bi-partisan and multinational project, planned and implemented by the world’s elites over the course of many decades, to outsource the world’s manufacturing to China. There are trillions of dollars at stake in stopping Donald Trump.
Lawfare and the Destruction of the American Political Tradition
a. The Alvin Bragg Charges
Alvin Bragg, one of the “Soros prosecutors” whose campaigns were funded by the Leftist Hungarian billionaire, filed criminal charges against Trump in Manhattan for mislabeled accounting entries. The charges are premised on the notion that payments made to Stephanie Clifford pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) were in-kind campaign contributions, and hence it was erroneous to classify them as legal fees. But there are good personal reasons—such as his relationship with his wife—why Trump would not want Ms. Clifford telling tales of an encounter they have both denied, so the NDA was not solely to benefit Trump’s presidential campaign.
Leftist activists twice asked the Federal Election Commission to reclassify the NDA payments as campaign contributions, but the FEC declined to do so. “It's not a campaign finance violation. It's not a reporting violation of any kind,” said FEC Commissioner James E. “Trey” Trainor. “There’s a lot of reasons [Trump] could have done it that aren’t related to him being a candidate for president . . . It has to be something that anybody on the street can look at and say the only reason you did that was to influence the campaign,” Trainor added. (Paul Bedard, Washington Times, April 05, 2023)
By the way, a candidate may contribute as much as he wants to his own campaign, so the payments were unquestionable legal, even if reclassified as campaign contributions. Bragg’s case is only about how certain accounting entries were denominated, and nothing else. It is beyond astonishing that any prosecutor would indict a former president and leading current presidential candidate over such picayune nonsense.
By all accounts the case was dead as of late 2022, but the “zombie case” was resurrected when the DOJ sent Matthew Colangelo to work for Alvin Bragg. Colangelo, a Leftist lawfare activist, graduated from Harvard Law School and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, then worked in the Obama DOJ. As soon as Trump was elected president, Colangelo became one of the leaders in using lawfare to hamstring the Trump administration. Colangelo was involved in 32 lawsuits attacking almost every initiative and policy of the Trump administration, including preventing the 2020 census from inquiring about citizenship.
Once Trump left the White House, Colangelo turned himself into Trump’s personal Javert, investigating the Trump Foundation, Trump’s New York-based business, prosecuting a civil case against the Trump Organization, deposing Trump’s children, and now filing the accounting entry charges. When you look behind the scenes, it becomes apparent that this is another DOJ prosecution. All the charges against Trump, whether denominated as state or federal, are being driven by the same shadowy Marxist cabal that is running the “Biden Administration.”
b. The Mar-a-Lago Documents
The Mar-a-Lago documents case is based upon the idea that Trump mishandled “defense documents” in violation of the Espionage Act, but no classified document is secret from, or unavailable to, the president, and every president’s full security clearance continues after he leaves office. These are Trump’s presidential papers; all previous presidents since the end of the Second World War have been allowed to take their presidential papers with them, including classified documents, for inclusion in their presidential libraries.
No previous president has ever been harassed for keeping his presidential papers in a secured room in his own house, or anywhere else (Obama kept his in a warehouse, Pence kept his at home, Biden kept his in his garage next to his Corvette), pending the construction of his presidential library. No previous president has had his home raided by dozens of armed federal agents, much less because of an arcane dispute with a government archivist about presidential documents. The governing law is the Presidential Records Acts; it was passed in 1978 because of concern that presidents might destroy non-personal documents of historical significance. But the Presidential Records Act is not even mentioned in the indictment.
c. Is it Now a Crime to Contest Election Fraud?
Last Tuesday, Jack Smith indicted Trump for complaining about having the election stolen from him. The First Amendment prohibits the criminalization of most speech, especially speech about political matters such as whether an election was fair or was rigged. That kind of speech is at the core of the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of speech.
Given his constitutional rights of free speech and petition, Trump was absolutely free to challenge the results in as many courts or other legal venues as he wanted, to challenge the results in as many states as he deemed produced questionable results, to encourage people to come to Washington and protest the stolen election, to encourage the state legislators of the swing states where the decisive fraud occurred to root out the fraud and correct the results, to encourage members of the house and senate to object to the counting of the electoral votes from contested states, and to encourage Mike Pence, who was presiding over the electoral vote count, to pause the counting in order to give the swing where the decisive fraud occurred a chance to re-examine the results.
This was all privileged and protected conduct. Thomas Jefferson did much of this himself in 1801; he presided over the counting of his own electoral votes when he was trying to become president during a disputed election contest. Democrats have protested electoral vote counting in at least four elections since 1968. Although the Marxist media have been screaming ceaselessly for almost three years that Trump was “trying to overturn the election,” this is utter nonsense. Everything Trump did was part of the process of a contested election, and his conduct was absolutely privileged.
If the “Biden Administration” succeeds in criminalizing this conduct it will have fundamentally altered our system and the U.S. Constitution. It will have successfully removed the First Amendment from the constitution, and made it a crime to question the “official narrative” of our ruling elites.
d. The Destruction of America’s Political Traditions
All these prosecutions are absurd and abusive; they are a frightening indication that the current regime, the shadowy Marxist cabal that rules in the name of a demented old man who can now barely read a teleprompter, has nothing but contempt for the Constitution and established notions of law, justice, political tradition, and basic human decency.
Many [including me] have said that only in “banana republics” do we see the ruling party criminally prosecuting its main political rival. But that is an insult to banana republics, most of which are more orderly and less oppressive than today’s America. These prosecutions partake more of Soviet communism.
Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving official murderer in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror, famously boasted, “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” Beria served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret prisons for political prisoners. Beria targeted “the man” first, then proceeded to find or fabricate a crime; his modus operandi was to presume the man guilty, and fill in the blanks later. This is also the MO of Alvin Bragg, Matt Colangelo, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, and all their minions. Unsurprisingly, because those people share the Leftist utopian ideology of Stalin and Beria.
People are struggling with, and still in very deep denial about, what has happened during the last three years. I do not exempt myself from those in denial. I am like most of you: desperately clinging to the notion that America is a free country and a functioning republic. But the facts say otherwise. When a regime criminalizes its political opposition, as this regime clearly has done, you know you are no longer living in a free country. We are in the throes of a Marxist revolution. The shadowy cabal that rules, which is widely believed to be coordinated by Barack Obama, is clearly animated by totalitarian impulses, and is eagerly defenestrating the constitution and America’s most hallowed traditions.
In my article about the “Hive” and the Mark of the Beast, I talked about concept-proving, and noted that one of the Hive’s agenda items was to mainstream the mail-in ballot system, which Democrats had carefully beta-tested in California, Oregon, and Washington. This mail out-mail/mail-in or drop-in ballot system, when combined with ballot-harvesting operatives, makes a mockery of elections. Having an unlimited number of free-floating ballots makes elections almost infinitely malleable and controllable. Far-Left Marxist operative Marc Elias filed dozens of lawsuits, using the specter of an over-hyped Covid pandemic, to bulldoze states into adopting the mail-in ballot system, and to prevent meaningful verification of ballots to verify that they were actual votes. An election system was adopted that was designed to allow the Left to steal the 2020 election.
And steal it they did. Then they lied about it continuously, accusing those who were complaining of the stolen election of "the big lie" when it was really the Marxists who were telling the big lie. The “Trusted News Initiative” did what it was designed to do, quashing all news stories and social media posts questioning the official narrative; thousands of FBI and other government agents coordinated with social media to silence, censor, stifle, de-platform and un-person everyone who dissented from any aspect of the enforced election narrative.
We were all supposed to believe that a frail old man, who campaigned from his basement and never drew crowds of any size, got 81 million votes, 11.5 million more than Obama received in 2008, 15 million more than Hillary Clinton in 2016, and 6 million more than the 75 million Trump received in 2020. Yes, it is true that ballot-trafficking mules paid by non-profits financed by Mark Zuckerberg collected 81 million ballots, but it is obvious that untold millions of those ballots were not votes.
Once they had gained power, they immediately began to abuse their power, harassing, arresting, and prosecuting their opponents, starting with those who were protesting the theft of the election, then proceeding to anyone who had worked for President Trump, or represented him as legal counsel. Through an organization called the “65 Project,” the Marxist Left is working to disbar every lawyer who represented President Trump in election challenges, and because the state bar bureaucracies have long since been taken over by Marxist activists, they will succeed in some cases.
Then they started criminalizing their chief political opponent. This is unprecedented and unknown to the American tradition. Nothing like this abuse of prosecutorial power has happened in the last 150 years, since Lincoln suspended constitutional protections during the civil war, and nothing remotely like this has ever happened in peacetime in the United States.
Meanwhile, irrefutable evidence is accumulating that Joe Biden has taken many millions of dollars in bribe money from several different nations, including Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and most importantly China. The evidence is similarly accumulating that the Orwellianly misnamed “Department of Justice” was covering up Biden’s crimes, suppressing investigations into them.
To say that we have a "two-tiered justice system" is misleading, because, at the federal level, we do not have a justice system of any description; instead of a DOJ, we have a department of Marxist lawfare activism, fully weaponized and deployed against opponents of an illegitimate, tyrannical regime. If you are a parent who objects at a school board meeting to your daughter being convinced behind your back to have breasts cut off, the DOJ thugs are coming after you. If you show up an abortion clinic to pray, 30 black-clad federal agents with assault rifles and body armor will show up at your house to arrest you and terrorize your wife and children in a pre-dawn raid.
The Corrupt Uni-Party
The American system is premised on the idea that if one party crosses the line, the other party will fight hard to put them back behind that line. But the Republicans are not fighting to save Trump, nor to vindicate the centuries-old American tradition of non-criminalization of politics. The House Republicans could put an immediate stop to Jack Smith’s rampage by refusing to fund it; they could have included an “appropriations rider” to that effect in the debt ceiling bill, which had to be passed by the Senate and signed by the president to continue spending at near current levels. But they did not. Instead, the week before last, Kevin McCarthy, knowing full well that a second federal indictment of Trump was imminent, sent Congress home for a six-week vacation. (The House will re-convene on September 12th.)
The Republicans are stinkingly corrupt. There are just as many bought Republicans as bought Democrats, but the Republicans sell themselves cheaper. More importantly, the Democrats manage to achieve their policy goals while still collecting huge graft (see, e.g., Joe Biden). But the Republicans sell out their stated policy goals, the things they tell their constituents they will do if sent to Washington; they never accomplish them. The Democrats use money to get power; the Republicans sell their power, and their stated policy goals, to get money.
It is true that there is a “uni-party” in Washington, but they are united around Left-wing goals. Real conservatives are few and far between; most of the Republicans are only pretending to be conservative (if they even bother to pretend). Their opposition is a sham. So far this term, the only vote that mattered was the vote on the debt ceiling because, as noted above, the debt ceiling bill was the only bill the House passed that also had to be passed by the Senate and signed by the president for the government to continue at near its current levels of spending. And on that bill, Kevin McCarthy caved completely and abjectly, fully funding what the Nancy Pelosi congress had previously passed, including every penny the Marxist cabal running the “Biden Administration” wanted, spent on exactly what they wanted it spent on. More than two-thirds of Republican House members voted with McCarthy to give the “Biden Administration” everything it wanted.
Anything else the House Republicans will do this term will be performative, done only to mislead the conservative base, and will lead to nothing. The Republican Party as presently constituted is simply not an opposition party; to the contrary, it is a very tightly controlled Potemkin “opposition party.” It exists only to fool superficial observers—people who have jobs, kids to raise, aging parents to take care of, lives to lead—into believing there is opposition to the Leftist agenda, when in fact there is none.
There are Trillions of dollars at Stake
The opposition to Trump is not a conventional “Left vs. Right” phenomena. Establishment Republicans and most elected Republicans in Washington hate Trump as much as the Democrats hate him, if not more. From the moment in 2015 when Donald Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy, he was opposed by the Republican Party and most conservative intellectuals and pundits. Why? Because his two main agenda items were 1) closing the border, and 2) stopping and reversing the bipartisan project of offshoring America’s manufacturing to China. There are trillions of dollars at stake with the China project.
a. The China Project
The China project was planned behind the scenes almost a century ago; Western internationalists were already, in the 1930s, beginning to discuss making China the world’s manufacturer. Although the U.S. removed Most Favored Nation status from China after Mao and the communists took over in 1949, Nixon famously visited China in 1972, and President Carter conditionally restored MFN status to China in 1980. Both presidents Bush and President Clinton heavily promoted trade with China. By the year 2000, the U.S. was importing $100 billion in goods from China. Congress agreed to permanent normal trade relations, and Clinton signed PNTR into law on October 10, 2000. Having gotten permanent normal trading relations with the U.S., China joined the World Trade Organization in December, 2001.
At that point, the offshoring of American manufacturing really took off. Wall Street was thrilled; the Chamber of Commerce was ecstatic. There are enormous fortunes to be made when you can pay labor 20 cents an hour rather than twenty dollars an hour. By reducing your labor costs by 99%, you can pay for a lot of shipping. For example, chickens can be grown in the U.S., shipped to China for processing, then shipped back to the U.S. for purchase and consumption; that is a normal supply chain in the year 2023.
In the first 18 years of the 21st Century, trade with China quintupled. By 2018, we were importing $538 billion a year worth of goods from China, which means we were importing more than $1 trillion worth of goods from China every two years—again, there really are trillions at stake with the China project.
But the jobs sent to China were lost to American workers. The Midwest and upper-Midwest states saw their manufacturing base hollowed out. Those lost manufacturing jobs had been good-paying jobs. The China project’s effect on the white working class has been devastating. It’s standard of living has declined. In fact, even the life expectancy of the white working class has fallen. Family formation is down, because, in the absence of the millions of manufacturing jobs, working class men can no longer afford a family. All sorts of dysfunction, including suicide and overdose deaths (usually from synthetic opiods coming from China through Mexico) are way up. By 2015, when Trump launched his candidacy for president, the American working class was feeling the full effects of the China project.
Yet Donald Trump was the only candidate in either party who seriously opposed the China project, and the first candidate to take up the issue since Ross Perot in 1992. Trump was also the only candidate who was even talking about closing the borders and stopping the flow of illegal immigrant labor to compete with the American working class. No other candidate seemed to care about the American working class and its standard of living. It is not a coincidence that both candidates who raised this issue during the last 35 years have been independently wealthy. Because they were going against the monied elites of the entire world, and when you do that, the wallets of the largest donors are closed to you. If you are running for office, you will be forced to depend upon small donors and your own bank account.
A billion is a thousand million, a trillion is a thousand billion. When there are trillions of dollars at stake, as there are in the China project, hundreds of millions are available to be spread around in the right pockets, to protect the system that saves the elites 99% of their labor costs. That money goes into the pockets of the Washington politicians, media, candidates, and everywhere else.
When trillions are at stake, there is more than enough to buy both political parties, which are private corporations, and all elected representatives, several times over. There is also enough money to buy, many times over, every newspaper and every conservative journal, like National Review, and every conservative think tank, and every conservative blog site. That is why National Review devoted a whole issue, “Against Trump” in February, 2016, to bashing Trump.
The signature moment in the 2016 Republican primary was during the sixth debate, on January 14, 2016, when Donald Trump pointed out that Boeing had begun offshoring assembly of its airplanes to China. Here was the most prestigious manufacturing America has: building its commercial airliner fleet. Yet even this was being sent to China. Jeb Bush—the GOP establishment thought it was a great idea to have a third president Bush in a 25-year span, this time Jeb!—turned to Trump and said, “Come on, man.” But Trump was right. Jeb’s “come on, man” was not because Trump was wrong on the facts, but because Trump was exposing what the ruling elites do not want widely known; he was breaking the code of Omertà against talking about the China project.
But not only was Trump right about Boeing, he was right in the larger sense, too. We do need to consider the damage the China project is doing to our working class. We do need to consider how open borders keep domestic worker’s wages down. We do need to ask: is it moral to adopt a national economic strategy that intentionally impoverishes our working class? This is a moral issue.
Yes, it is a moral issue, but the China project is not just morally troubling: it is astonishingly bad for America’s national security.
China is still a communist, totalitarian country, and its control over its people is becoming more sophisticated and intrusive by the day, including through a coercive “social credit system” that the Davos crowd wants to put into effect in the formerly free West. Under the Chinese Communist Party, China is an extremely racist ethno-state that is targeting Uyghur and Turkic Muslim minority groups with extermination through population control, forced labor, arbitrary detention in internment camps, torture, physical and sexual abuse, mass surveillance, family separation, and repression of cultural and religious expression. The CCP are not nice people.
Yet America’s outsourcing of our manufacturing to China has turned communist China from a very poor, backward country that never posed much threat to its neighbors, much less to the West, into a world power. Thanks to America, China is no longer backward or poor, but advanced and rich. China forces anyone who manufactures there to turn over their trade secrets, patents, and other intellectual property to their Chinese partners; in this way China acquires well over $200 billion worth of technology, know-how and other intellectual property annually. In addition, Chinese industrial espionage steals hundreds of billions more every year. The FBI says this giant rip-off of intellectual property has been, “one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history.”
So here is a country with 1.4 billion people, which can obviously field a far larger army than we ever could, yet thanks to a massive technology transfer from America to China, its military equipment—its tanks, armored cars, fighter planes, bombers, warships and aircraft carriers—is now approaching ours, in terms of sophistication and lethality. China now the has missile technology, and a true “blue water” navy with three aircraft carriers, that will allow it to credibly threaten Taiwan, which it never could before.
That the United States has done this to itself—impoverishing its own working class while building up, almost out of nothing, a strong and wealthy potential enemy—beggars belief. It is not even sane. Yet it is seldom discussed in mainstream media, which instead firehoses us with anti-Russia propaganda, when Russia is poorer, has a drastically smaller population, and can never pose anything like the threat China poses. (And Russia is not communist, but Christian, another reason the U.S. State Department hates it.)
Even though Trump was the only candidate talking about anything that mattered, the globalists were still shocked when he won the 2016 election. It got much worse for them when it became apparent that Trump was serious about keeping every campaign promise he could, and that meant doing what he could on the border and the China project. By 2020, Donald Trump had used tariffs to reduce goods imported from China from their high of $538 billion to $432 billion. He did what he promised to do, and thereby sealed his fate, earning the enmity of Washington Republicans.
Even though Trump did everything the Washington Republican wanted on taxes, regulations, judges, and most everything else—except China and the border—they worked assiduously to sabotage his presidency. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell refused to fund the border wall, and Lindsay Graham worked hard to expand H1B visas to bring in cheap labor for their friends in the tech industry. They made it known that they would not allow Trump to slough off deep state surveillance or end the baseless Mueller investigation, or they would allow him to be impeached.
Paul Ryan essentially tanked the 2018 midterms, retiring himself and encouraging other top Republican House members to retire. Thanks to Paul Ryan’s animosity toward Trump, the Republican House had no strategy and no message for the 2018 midterm elections, and predictably lost their majority to Nancy Pelosi’s Jacobin radicals, predictably leading to Trump’s impeachment on (false) charges of doing what Joe Biden bragged on camera about having done—withholding U.S. Government aid money from Ukraine for improper personal reasons (in Biden’s case forcing Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, an energy company that was paying Hunter Biden about a million per year).
b. The Forever Wars
It was bad enough that Trump threatened the China project, but to make matters worse (from the point of view of the Uni-party), Trump does not do anything to please the military-industrial complex.
The military-industrial complex is another huge source of graft—military equipment, ordinance, and ammunition costs billions; the government pays for all that, and kickbacks in the form of campaign contributions (and who know what all else) goes into the pockets of almost everyone in Washington. The ideal conflict for the military industrial complex is a low intensity war that burns through equipment and ammunition at a steady pace, but doesn’t aim at any sort of decisive outcome, much less victory.
Donald Trump doesn’t do forever wars. Trump ends wars, stops the death and destruction, and brings troops home. Go back and watch the Republican debates from 2015-16, and you’ll notice that one of the issues was what to do about ISIS, the “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.” Once Trump was able to find the right people, he swiftly ended the ISIS caliphate. One of Trump’s favorite stories is of a flight to Iraq in December, 2018, for a surprise Christmas visit to the troops. Trump met a general with the funny name of “Raisin Caine.”
Trump got to talking with General J. Daniel “Raisin” Caine, who told him that he could destroy ISIS in a few weeks. The Washington generals hadn’t been telling Trump the truth, and he was frustrated over the lack of progress against ISIS. But armed with General Caine’s advice, Trump destroyed ISIS in about a month. (Even then, in outright mutiny, Mike Pompeo kept 2,000 soldiers in Syria that Trump had specifically ordered be brought home.)
Trump also wound down the Afghanistan war by negotiating with the head of the Taliban; there were no American casualties in Afghanistan during the last year of Trump’s administration. Trump was trying to negotiate the final withdrawal of American troops; he would keep Bagram Airbase and of course would withdraw American troops and equipment only after all civilians were evacuated.
But the “Biden Administration” just abruptly pulled the military out, abandoning America’s multi-billion dollar investment in Bagram Airbase, as well as $85 billion worth of American equipment, including state-of-the-art helicopters, armored cars, tanks, rifles, ammunition, and night-vision goggles. To Donald Trump and most sane people, that was a disaster; Trump has called it the most shameful withdrawal in American history. But to the Washington Uni-party, it was an ideal outcome: that $85 billion in equipment will have to be replaced, which means hundreds of millions spread around Washington D.C. by defense contractors.
Washington Reacts Just as You Would Expect to their Loss of Income
Donald Trump, who came to Washington as a very wealthy man not needing to make himself wealthy from his government service, was a terrible pain to the corrupt Uni-party; he threatened both their main sources of graft: China and the military industrial complex. He had to go.
So the election was stolen. The whole thing turned on four states, and really on four cities—Atlanta, Detroit, Phoenix, and Philadelphia. The massive fraud in those four cities was enough to steal the election for Biden. Note that two of those cities, Atlanta and Phoenix, are in Republican-controlled states—extremely corrupt Republican states, that is. States whose ruling elites have, like Joe Biden, accepted untold millions from China, and in the case of Arizona, are involved with the Mexican cartels. (Just to prove the point, Arizona’s corrupt Republicans stole the governor’s race from Kari Lake two years later, because she was outspokenly pro-Trump, not afraid to say the 2020 election was stolen, and because she wanted to close the border.)
Trump’s 75 million (at least) 2020 voters well understand that Trump was robbed of his second term, and they want him to have it. Trump is ahead of his Republican presidential rivals by 40 to 50 points in all the polls, making the primaries a foregone conclusion. Yet the party bosses are determined to have a whole bunch of debates and waste hundreds of millions of donor contributions. (By contrast, the Dems aren’t planning debates or a formal process, even though Biden is no further ahead of RFK, Jr., than Trump is ahead of the “Keebler elves.”)
The Republicans should be spending hundreds of millions cleaning up elections, enabling human voters rather than harvested ballots to decide elections. Instead the big-money Republican donors are burning hundreds of millions in a hopeless attempt to stop Trump from being nominated—because when trillions are at stake, hundreds of millions will be spent to protect that revenue stream, even if the chances of success are small.
Their chosen vehicle to oppose Trump is Florida governor Ron DeSantis, whom I regard as a tragic figure. He has been an excellent governor (an office he holds because of Donald Trump’s endorsement and advice); he has picked the right fights with some very bad people, e.g. the trans advocates at Disney. But by allowing himself to be used to as a tool of the corrupt globalist donor class in a misguided effort to block Trump, DeSantis might have permanently destroyed his promising career.
With Biden as the figurehead, the money spigots re-opened. By last year, imports from China were back up to $537 billion (adding services to goods raises the total to $564 billion). And—lo and behold!—a new forever war was started—Ukraine. We have already thrown untold billions (between $100 and $200 billion) at the Ukraine mess only to achieve stalemate, but hundreds of millions have made their way into Washington pockets, and that’s really the point. The system continues on, as always.
Trump is campaigning yet again on protecting America’s working class by reversing the China project. He is also pledging to end the Ukraine war on day one of his presidency, the worst possible outcome for the Washington Uni-party. The RNC corporation and the elected officials in Washington would rather die a thousand deaths than see Trump be president again. And that is why, ultimately, the Republicans in the House and Senate will not protect Trump.
The Radical Moment
That is how we arrived at the radical moment. We have a radical party leading America down a dark path, and no effective opposition from the other party.
The Democratic Party is now a fully Marxist party, and they have been in revolutionary mode for about four years. They hate America’s founding and traditions. They hate the American people, the ingrained love of freedom of the English-speaking peoples (which is why they are frantically diluting that dominant element of America’s population by bringing in 15 to 25 million illegals during the “Biden Administration”).
They hate Bible Christianity, they hate freedom of speech, they hate freedom of religion, they hate economic freedom, and they hate anything that would put a limit on the power of government, power they want to use to pursue utopia. Most of all, they hate the idea of an eternal, omniscient, omnipotent God who will one day bring them under judgment.
At the heart of their worse-than-atheist ideology is rebellion against God, and especially rebellion against the created sexual order. They have promoted the sexual revolution, feminism, no-fault divorce, pornography, homosexuality, and same-sex “marriage,” but these were nothing compared to their new enthusiasm: effacing the created sexual binary. The Left is promoting a social contagion that encourages children to alter their bodies in ways that will destroy their ability to marry and have children, or even enjoy a normal sexual climax. They are sexually mutilating minor children with opposite sex hormones and surgery, including cutting the breasts off 15 and 16-year-old. This is Josef Mengele-level stuff, almost unbelievably sadistic and cruel.
Today’s Democrats agree with Mao and his cultural revolutionaries, with Stalin and Lenin and the Bolsheviks, and with the French Revolutionaries before them, that if only enough dead bodies can be piled up, human nature can be remade, perfected, and utopia can be ushered in and erected on the ashes of the civilization they are destroying.
One of the ways we know we are dealing with Marxist radicals—not liberals, not progressives, not any group or ideology within the American tradition—is that they are criminalizing speech. They are also trying to prevent Donald Trump from having legal representation. One of the most disgraceful developments of the last few years is the “65 Project,” in which Leftist activists are filing bar complaints against everyone who represented Trump in his election contests.
It used to be that the right to counsel was considered sacred in the legal profession. John Adams was the most outspoken of the founders in wanting independence from Britain, but just months before he represented Massachusetts in the first Continental Congress, he represented the British soldiers accused of murder in the “Boston Massacre.” And Adams did a good job, securing their acquittal. Why? Because the right to counsel, and the right to basic justice in a court of law, was more important to Adams than his political differences with Britain and his dislike of having British soldiers in Boston. The latter were transitory and passing; the former were fundamental and permanent. John Adams understood that these rights to counsel and to trial by jury—the rights of an Englishman—would continue in America long after independence was secured. Thus it is with everyone who believes in the rule of law; the fundamentals, the basics, are more important than politics.
That the persecutors of Donald Trump reject these rights is how we know we are opposing Marxist radicals. These are not normal times; we are in the throes of a Marxist revolution.
But the Republicans are too corrupt, and hate Trump too much, to stand up against the worsening nightmare. Their entire reality is subsumed in the idea that Donald Trump is interfering with their income streams, and he must be stopped. The Republican establishment—Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Rona Romney McDaniel, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mike Pence, Bill Barr—is too busy trying to destroy Trump to worry about the destruction the Left is wreaking on our country.
What are they thinking? They are probably thinking that once they get rid of Trump and get back to business as usual—snarfing up China money and defense-contractor kickbacks—then they can restore America to the status quo ante and insist that basic American norms be again respected.
But precedents are being set—the criminalization of political differences, the outlawing of speech that contradicts the official narrative enforced by the government-media axis—that the Left will never allow Republicans to undo or walk back. If the prosecution of Trump for disapproved speech succeeds, all of us have lost freedom of speech. The Left has always hated freedom of speech; they are thrilled to set this precedent, and they are not going to let establishment Republicans reclaim it once Trump is gone.
The “Biden Administration” is even now acting and litigating as if their recently exposed arrangement with social media—in which thousands of federal agents monitor our social media posts and tell the tech companies which ones to censor or delete—is not a blatant violation of the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech, but just business as usual, the way things have been for years now and they way they should be going forward. They are thrilled to set a precedent that disapproved speech is criminal!
Some Adventists believe that a conservative U.S. Supreme Court will save us from the looming dark age, and the Supreme Court is, indeed, the one significant institution in America that is not controlled by the Left. But the Supreme Court is not going to save us. It was almost useless during Covid, when the Hive shut down the churches—indefinitely in Democrat-controlled states. It has been completely useless in correcting our corrupt elections. After a couple more presidential elections in which ballot harvesters install the Democrat, the conservative majority will be gone, and the court will be staffed by radical Marxists.
Moreover, it takes hundreds of thousands, usually millions, in legal fees to even reach the Supreme Court, so redress from that quarter is strictly for the rich and those who are selected for representation by well-established non-profit litigation firms, such as the Alliance Defending Freedom. A trip to the Supreme Court can be financially ruinous. Those who are making Trump’s life miserable, and want to make your life miserable, well understand that any help from the SCOTUS is a long way off. (I trust I need not add that the Chief Justice of the high court is a very weak man; he cannot be relied on to do the right thing every time, or any time.)
This is the radical moment. The old America, where there were constitutionally protected freedoms, is being swept away, and the prospect of a successful counter-revolution is becoming dimmer and more remote by the day.
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. 1 Tim. 3:1-9
