A Dark Day--the Constitutional Republic Died, a Banana Republic Emerged in its Place

Ever since the 2020 presidential election was stolen, and the presidency given to a doddering old fool who had seldom emerged from his basement, America has become a sort of living nightmare, a Kafka-esque dystopia. We don’t often write about it here, because we know that most of you are living through the same nightmare we are. We don’t often recite the litany of abominations because most of you are co-witnesses with us of the sudden destruction of the American nation:

  • The death of free speech. Constant censorship of what had become the new public square, social media, with the tech lords totally committed to a Leftist-globalist-corporatist-government narrative and the ruthless, comprehensive, artificial Intelligence-aided (the algorithms) suppression of all other points of view. The tech and social media censorship began with anyone questioning the government-media-pharmaceutical cabal’s narrative on Covid and the vaccines—and it is becoming increasingly clear that that narrative was in pursuit of a hideous, satanic crime against humanity which will destroy millions of victims—but is broadening out to be general censorship on every topic in which the social media user/poster disagrees with the official narrative. Go back just two years and we had much more freedom of speech on Face Book, Twitter and other social media apps. The stolen election, and especially January 6th, was the signal that the monopolies they had gained through the “network effect” were to be used to throttle non-approved speech. Foolish courts have upheld this destruction of the First Amendment on the basis that these are “private companies” but hotels and restaurants are also privately owned, and that did not stop the government from enforcing non-discrimination laws against them; freedom of speech is at least as important as freedom from racial discrimination. More recently, we have discovered that the “Biden Administration” Cabal has been coordinating with social media companies to target disapproved speech; government has been using tech to suppress speech the government wants suppressed, which is obviously a blatant violation of the First Amendment, even as narrowly conceived by the courts.

  • Ideologically corrupted federal law enforcement in which the Left’s street thugs—BLM and Antifa—may riot and destroy federal property with impunity, but those protesting an obviously stolen election are held as political prisoners for months and years on end. Corrupted Leftist federal agencies have engaged in endless “color of law” harassment of conservatives and Trump supporters

  • Intentional impoverishment and immiseration of the American people though attacks on fossil fuels, which are the indispensable backbone of all advanced civilization. These attacks include intentionally ending pipeline projects and stopping new drilling on federal land, as well as a regime of endless regulatory harassment of refineries, and effectively banning all new refineries. The result of this intentional and extremely well-planned attack on fossil fuels has been to more than double the price of gasoline and other fuels, driving up the cost of commuting to work for people who can least afford it, and drastically driving up the cost of fertilizer, and ultimately the cost of food.

  • Intentional destruction of the commercial air travel system. Gerry and his wife Nancy were going to ASI in Orlando last Thursday and had a connecting flight in Washington DC. They never got to Orlando; they were stuck in Washington all weekend. Why? Because the Left is intentionally destroying commercial air travel, because the Leftist enthusiasts of the “Green New Deal” do not want the common people flying in jet airplanes, or driving real, internal combustion automobiles in which we are capable of undertaking journeys of significant distance, or doing anything except hanging around our inadequately air-conditioned homes like good little serfs

  • The “Biden Administration” has thrown open the borders. It isn’t just that they are not enforcing the law, they are actually aiding and abetting an illegal invasion of foreign nationals. They are ushering them in as fast as they can get here. At first it looked like the cabal was on track to usher in 10 to 12 million illegals in the four year term, but they are becoming much more efficient as the days and months roll on. Last year they brought in only about 1.2 million but this year, through only the first half of the year, they’ve already brought in over 3 million, which means they are on pace to bring in over six million this year. But very recent news stories indicate that the immigrant conveyor belt from the Darien Gap up through Central America and Mexico has been speeded up, and the pace of the invasion will accelerate. So the “Biden Administration” will likely bring in about 30 million illegals during its four years. This level of immigration is unprecedented, far outpacing anything from the late 19th Century and the Ellis Island days or any other era in our history. There are two reasons for this Cabal-facilitated invasion of the United States: 1) the ruling elites absolutely despise the America people, particularly the white, Anglo-Saxon/Celtic race, because we are too quick to stand up for our rights, too used to freedom, and very unhappy about being forced give it up and accept a lower standard of living, and 2) the ruling elites are waging a remorseless war against the middle class and working class, and are determine to depress wages with an endless tidal wave of cheap immigrant labor.

  • The “Biden Administration” has declared war on farming and food production, and has added agricultural land to the Conservation Reserve Program, meaning it must be left fallow; the program is part of a push to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. In California, farmers are being paid not to grow crops, and 35,000 acres of rice fields in the central valley will lie fallow. This is all being dictated by the World Economic Forum, the Klaus Schwab outfit that meets in Davos every year, and is being carried out by WEF-influenced leaders throughout the Western world, including in the Netherlands, which is the second largest exporter of food in the world after the United States.

  • Intentional inflation and destruction of the currency. Inflation is purely a monetary phenomenon—too much money chasing too few goods and services—but the Fed continues to grow the money supply at rapid clip while also raising interest rates to cause a recession

  • Intentionally transferring our technology and other assets, like the strategic oil reserve, to our enemies, like China. Recently the Chinese were sold five million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and also given a promising new battery technology

  • Intentionally transferring our military equipment to our enemies, like the Taliban in Afghanistan

  • Relentless attacks on the created biological order in which there are men and women, and no other sexes, and sex is determined at the moment of conception. The attacks include putting men in women’s athletics, parading trans “admirals” and other military officers, and funding experimental chemical castration and mastectomies for children and young teenagers

  • Insane and totally pointless vaccine mandates, in which people are forced to take into their bodies an experimental gene therapy that is far more likely to hurt or kill them than Covid itself, especially in the case of those under 40 years old, who are not at significant risk from Covid.

  • Last weekend’s outrage du jour: 87,000 new IRS agents, bringing the total to 170,00 agents, making the IRS larger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined. Seventy-thousand of the 170,000 IRS will be armed, and the agency is purchasing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of guns and ammunition—many millions of rounds of ammo. They are not being hired to audit the rich; the Republicans offered an amendment to restrict audits to those making over 400,000 per year, and that amendment was defeated on a party line vote. This massive army of IRS agents is being hired to harass the middle class, the working class, and all potential Trump voters; The House Ways & Means Committee estimates that there will be 1.2 million new audits, with 700,000 of them being directed at people who make $75,000 per year or less. This is the global Left’s astonishing declaration of remorseless, total war against the American people.

Crossing the Rubicon

All this was bad enough, but today they crossed the Rubicon. Today, the shadowy cabal of Marxist radicals who have seized control of the U.S. government crossed the Rubicon (the doddering, severely senile Jesuit, Joe Biden, has no say, and is not mentally capable of having a say, in what is being done in his name; he doesn’t have the mental capacity to read a teleprompter, much less to be president; today video emerged showing that he has lost the motor skills to put on a jacket by himself).

Today, over 30 FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of President Donald Trump.

Nothing like this has ever happened in American history. The FBI was never exactly a model of professional, unbiased law enforcement—it was frequently up to no good during the J. Edgar Hoover days—but it has never been so obviously politically corrupt that it was nothing but an arm of one of the political parties.

It is now. The FBI is nothing but the law enforcement wing of the Democratic Party, and the rest of the Department of “Justice” is, if anything, even worse than the FBI.

Again, this is an unprecedented event in American history. As has been repeated hundreds of times by scores of pundits in the past few hours, this is the essence of a “banana republic”: the regime currently in power weaponizes the government’s intelligence, military, and law-enforcement apparatus against its political enemies. This happens routinely in third world countries, in “banana republics,” but it has never happened in American history. Until today.

This isn’t the end, either. This regime is going to do whatever is necessary to destroy Donald Trump. Because as things stand now, he is a threat to them. (He wasn’t in 2016, they vastly overestimated him, but now he is.) As far as the Republican base is concerned, Donald Trump is the Republican Party. There is nothing but contempt and hatred for the GOP establishment, and corrupt RINOs like Mitch McConnell. Trump will easily win the nomination in 2024, and might even win the presidency, because the American people have been given an unobstructed view of how much the Left hates us, and how astonishingly effective they are when given the power to wage war on us. The support for Trump might be so massive as to overcome the fraud that will be committed to try to keep him out of power.

The deep state begtan its war on Donald Trump the day he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, immediately launching a combined CIA-FBI operation against him, the CIA part of which ran a hack named Stephan Halper at George Popodopoulis, a low-level Trump volunteer, and the FBI part was based upon an absurd ‘dossier’ paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign that was used to fraudulently obtain a FISA warrant on another low-level Trump volunteer, Carter Page, and thereby keep Trump under surveillance. The deep state, the CIA and FBI, used these lies—which they fully and completely knew were lies, they were never for one instant fooled—to keep Trump under surveillance until about six months into his presidency, and under special counsel investigation for a further two years.

So these vermin at the FBI—and, no Sean Hannity, it isn’t just a few bad apples at the top, the FBI is a thoroughly and hopelessly corrupt organization that must be de-funded, zeroed out, and dismantled if our republic is to have any hope whatsoever of a renaissance—are angry at Trump for having escaped their “insurance policy” and having been elected president of the United States. They intend to finish their job on him.

Supposedly the raid had to do with documents that the Trump team took with him when he left the White House, but you don’t raid the home of a once and future president of the United States over something like that. A president’s papers belong to that president, and for many decades the practice has been for a president to build a presidential library to house the White House papers from his administration. (I’m pretty sure this is still the custom, because I visited the George W. Bush library in Dallas just 10 days ago.) President Obama removed all the papers from his White House and sent them to a warehouse in Chicago; later, his staff decided what among his papers would be lodged in his presidential library. President Trump, like every other president, has an absolute right to control his White House papers and lodge them in his presidential library, when it is built. In fact, Miranda Devine of the New York Post just reported that the documents the FBI took from President Trump’s home had been boxed up and shipped to him by the General Services Administration, and the FBI has had access to them for months.

But while we’re on the subject of the handling of government documents, Hilary Clinton, when she was Secretary of State, set up her own private server in her house in Chappaqua, New York, so that she could keep her emails private, even though many of them were about government business and some of them were classified and included classified material. There was an FBI “investigation,” but it was not a real investigation. Rather, it was designed to destroy the evidence in case some future person or agency should undertake a real investigation. Clinton’s staff were given immunity from prosecution in return for nothing—no cooperation, no testimony, nothing—even though there was copious destruction of evidence, including destroying cell phones with a hammer. Needless to say, there was no raid on her home.

By the way, when Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House in 2001, they took over $200,000 worth of furniture with them that belonged to the White House, including antiques and historically significant items. No raid on their home for that, either, but they eventually returned the items.

But the point is not the double standard in federal law enforcement—Republicans and conservatives get prosecuted to the full extent of the law, Democrats and other Leftist thugs get a pass. We’ve understood for a long time that we have a two-tiered justice system. No, the news, today’s news, is that nothing is sacred to the thugs at the FBI and the DOJ, not even the office of the presidency. They have no respect for the traditions of our country, no respect for the American idea, only hatred and a burning desire to destroy it all, so that they can build their utopia on the ashes of our constitutional order. They desperately hope to provoke a civil war, because they believe they are now in a position to win it; they control the military and the weaponized (literally) federal bureaucracies and law enforcement.

This is bad news, but even worse news is to come. This raid was not really about documents that that the government contends should be in some D.C. vault rather than Mar-a-Lago. No, the raid was a fishing expedition. The criminal cabal running the government is hoping to find something in the scores of boxes they indiscriminately hauled out of President Trump’s home that they can use to prosecute him for a crime to be invented later.

These people fully intend to have a Washington D.C. grand jury indict Trump for some “crime” related to January 6—the gist of which will be that it was criminal for Trump to have complained so loudly about having the election blatantly stolen from him—and try him before a Washington D.C. petit jury where 97% of the jury pool are committed Democrats and a Republican of any stature, not to mention the hated Donald Trump, has absolutely no chance whatsoever of impaneling a fair and impartial jury.

Death of a Republic

Assuming the vicious Marxist cabal currently running things can ever be prised out of power—and that seems unlikely, given how thoroughly rotten and corrupt our elections are—it would become absolutely mandatory for the Republicans to prosecute Biden and the shadowy cabal behind him. It would have to be done out of self-defense, to try to teach them a lesson, that age-old lesson of “two can play this game,” and see if that would sober them up and engender some sense of restraint or self-awareness. You can bet that this corrupt regime crossed this Rubicon—prosecuting a once and future president—because they never faced any real consequences for the Russia Hoax! They spied on a president under color of law, but without any real justification, they were found out, and yet no one suffered any consequences. So they will keep doing this over and over and over until they are deterred by real consequences, until many of them spend many years in prison. It would appear that, going forward, every losing regime will be prosecuted, once out of power, by the subsequent regime, and this will continue endlessly until the stone cut out without hands destroys the statue.

So the republic is dead. Deader than a door nail or perhaps, as Dickens wrote, deader than a coffin nail. The American republic, as we have known her up to now, is dead. Well, Mr. Franklin, we kept it for 235 years. That’s not bad.

UPDATE 8/10/22

According to a story by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine (one of the few journalists left in America), the FBI conducted itself with extreme rudeness, boorishness, and hostility during the raid.

Although the search warrant specified only 15 boxes of documents that were known by the FBI to be in a locked room in the basement, more than 30 FBI agents ignored the warrant and spread out all over the 3,000 square feet of the private residence portion of the building, going through every single room with extreme intrusiveness. They even scoured through Melania Trump’s wardrobe—including bras and underwear—and spent several hours combing through Donald Trump’s private office, breaking open his safe and rifling through drawers.

The 15 boxes in the locked basement room contained documents and mementos from Trump’s presidency, including letters from Barack Obama, Jim Jong Un, and other correspondence with world leaders. The boxes had been packed by the General Services Administration and shipped to Mar-a-Lago when Trump left office in January 2020.

Trump’s attorneys, led by Evan Corcoran, had been cooperating with the National Archives and Records Administration regarding the documents. In May, Trump through Corcoran, granted the FBI access to the storage room where the boxes were stored, and the agents had spent several hours searching them. At one point, Trump even stopped by the room to say hello.

Despite the ongoing cooperation, FBI agents fanned out all over the resident, going into every room and rifling through every significant article of furniture. One group of agents, including a professional safe cracker, moved to a separate part of the 1926 Spanish stucco building to search Trump’s office and safe.

The demeanor of the three DOJ lawyers who accompanied the FBI was described by one eyewitness as “arrogant,” and they repeatedly told Trump representatives: “We have full access to everything. We can go everywhere.” FBI agents prohibited Trump’s lawyers from observing the search and forbade them from entering the air conditioned lobby, despote the sweltering 91 degree temperature.

A source close to the former president expressed concern that FBI agents or DOJ lawyers conducting the search could have planted evidence, which would be all too typical of today’s FBI.

According to an article in Britain’s Daily Mail, Eric Trump revealed that FBI agents refused to hand over the search warrant to a Trump attorney. ‘They would not give her the search warrant,’ he claimed. ‘So they showed it to her from about 10 feet away. They would not give her a copy of the search warrant.’ [see update below']

Eric Trump called the raid another, ‘coordinated attack’ on his father Donald Trump and insisted there is no way President Joe Biden was kept in the dark about the search. ‘

‘Do you think that the FBI director is going to raid the former president’s house, especially a house as you know, kind of world renowned as Mar-a-Lago is, in a place as public as Mar-a-Lago is without getting the approval of the president?’ Eric asked.

Update 8/11/22:

Steve Bannon interviewed one of Trump’s lawyers this morning, Christina Bobb, who said that they finally allowed her to read the warrant, but that the supporting affidavit was sealed, and so she did not get to see the evidentiary basis for the warrant.
