The attorneys representing two Capitol police officers before the House Select Committee on January 6 Tuesday expose the partisan probe as nothing more than a Democrat show trial to impeach Republican voters after twice failing to impeach former President Donald Trump.
On Thursday, attorney and Lincoln Project fanboy David Laufman tweeted his excitement to represent Officers Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell alongside left-wing D.C. attorney Mark Zaid.
“Proud to join [Mark Zaid] in representing brave Capitol Police officers,” Laufman wrote. “They will tell the truth of what really happened that day.”
Both attorneys have a history of representing clients in high-profile cases with nefarious motives.
In 2018, Laufman represented the “beach friend” of then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser of sexual misconduct Christine Blasey-Ford. Three years after coming forward with graphic claims, Ford still has never proven the two had ever even met, let alone offer a corroborating witness.
Laufman served as legal counsel for Monica McLean, a former FBI agent and friend of Blasey Ford’s who had allegedly been coached ahead of a polygraph test which amounted to witness tampering.
The former DOJ official who used to work in the national security division also worked with disgraced former corrupt FBI agent Peter Strzok on both the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and the deep state investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign based on the debunked Steele Dossier.
Zaid represented the alleged whistleblower named by RealClearInvestigations in 2019 as Eric Ciaramella in Trump’s first impeachment. A search through the anti-Trump whistleblower’s attorney exposed a clear agenda preceding the Democrats’ first effort to achieve the top policy item of their Trump-era platform: the ousting of the Democratically-elected president either through means of impeachment, a deep-state coup, or “#rebellion.”
In 2018, Zaid threatened to deploy his connections in federal intelligence agencies to doxx a random Twitter user and complained about the account’s anonymity.
Zaid’s pursuit of clients to advance his own nefarious agenda is well-documented. In a 2018 podcast, Zaid said he often went out of his way to use the term “resistance” and bragged about having sued every president since 1993. On the same episode, Zaid said he fished for a client to serve as a plaintiff against Trump to keep the streak of lawsuits going.
It makes perfect sense, then, Zaid would represent Capitol police officers to testify in the politicized proceedings sponsored by Democrats with the recruitment of two Pelosi Republicans to offer a smokescreen of bipartisanship, when the committee is anything but.
Team names that you think are just fine are actually racist. Just like everything in life. This is especially true of baseball, since it's the American pastime, and America is extra racist, unlike every other society in human history.
We combed through every team name in Major League Baseball and came up with something to be offended by. Time to be better. You're welcome.
Atlanta Braves - Bravery is offensive and reckless-- especially during a pandemic. Baseball isn't brave. Do you know what's brave? Wearing a mask.
Miami Marlins - As always, marlins get all the attention while squid and tuna populations remain marginalized and invisible.
New York Mets - The proper present-tense form is "meets."
Philadelphia Phillies - The Liberty Bell logo has to go. It's the current year, for goodness' sake.
Washington Nationals - Nationals sounds an awful lot like "white nationalists" to us.
Chicago Cubs - Bears are noble creatures and have NOT given their consent to be your mascot.
Cincinnati Reds - Red is the color of MAGA hats.
Milwaukee Brewers - Offensive to those struggling with alcohol addiction-- or gluten intolerance.
Pittsburgh Pirates - Stealing music is not OK. You wouldn't download a car, would you?
St. Louis Cardinals - Offensive to those oppressed by the Catholic Church.
Arizona Diamondbacks - Snakes are triggering to many archaeology professors.
Colorado Rockies - Rocky Balboa was an Italian-American immigrant who worked hard and became successful—which plays into right-wing tropes about "picking yourself up by your bootstraps." Not ok.
Los Angeles Dodgers - Trump was a draft dodger and to think that a team would name themselves after him is frankly disgusting.
San Diego Padres - Gendered and Catholic. Just like in baseball, two strikes and you're out.
San Francisco Giants - Offensive to the differently heighted.
Baltimore Orioles - The name's OK but the team is pretty offensive to the idea of baseball in general.
Boston Red Sox - No one needs yet another reason to hate the Red Sox.
New York Yankees - No one needs yet another reason to hate the Yankees.
Tampa Bay Rays - Florida.
Toronto Blue Jays - Blue is a reference to the police, which should be defunded. #DefundTheBlueJays
Chicago White Sox - White socks worn with sandals are offensive to the human race.
Cleveland Guardians - Appropriates the culture of the Guardians of the Galaxy, an oppressed group of illegal aliens.
Detroit Tigers - "Tiger" is the catchphrase of Sagat, an oppressed Thai MMA fighter.
Kansas City Royals - Not offensive, just reminds us of that annoying Lorde song.
Minnesota Twins - Twins evokes the number "two," a painful reminder of the gender binary.
Houston Astros - We don't need to be honoring space travel when there are plenty of problems on earth to worry about.
Los Angeles Angels - Offensive to atheists.
Oakland Athletics - Offensive to couch potatoes.
Seattle Mariners - Offensive to old sailors ranting to random wedding guests about their wild sea voyages.
Texas Rangers - Texas? REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Now go jeer at your local baseball team while you eat a $12 hot dog! That'll show 'em!
This past weekend, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd added another column to the myriad irrational and hysterical pieces about the “existential threat” climate change allegedly poses to human life.
As I do after almost every piece I read on the internet, I read comments submitted by readers.
One provided me with an epiphany.
It was a comment submitted byNew York Timesreader “Sophia” of Bangor, Maine:
I have one child, a daughter, who told me age 8 that she would never have a child because of global warming. She’s now 34 and has never changed her mind. So I will not experience a grandchild. For her wisdom, I am grateful. I would be heartsick if I did have a grandchild who would have to experience the onslaught of changing climate.
It is hard to imagine greater proof than that comment of the power of mass media and of the left. That a normal woman would celebrate her daughter’s choice not to be a mother and not to make her a grandmother can only be described as deranged. No normal-thinking human being would think that way. Jews had children during the Holocaust and made sure to have children if they survived the Holocaust.
Does this deranged woman know how few people are dying due to weather-related incidents in the era of global warming?
Danish statistician and economist Bjorn Lomborg noted this past week:
Over the past hundred years, annual climate-related deaths have declined by more than 96%. In the 1920s, the death count from climate-related disasters was 485,000 on average every year. In the last full decade, 2010-2019, the average was 18,362 dead per year, or 96.2% lower.
In the first year of the new decade, 2020, the number of dead was even lower at 14,893—97% lower than the 1920s average . . .
The preliminary estimate of 2021 climate-related deaths (is) 5,569 or 98.9% lower than the 1920s . . .
The newest Lancet study of heat and cold deaths show(s) that cold ‘vastly’ outweigh heat, and that climate actually has dramatically lowered (the number of) total death(s) . . .
Of course, none of that matters to Sophia—because she relies on the New York Times (and probably NPR and CNN) for her understanding of the world.
For more proof of how deranged many New York Times readers—and Washington Post readers, CNN viewers, and NPR listeners—are because they rely on these sources for what they believe about the world, here are some replies to Sophia’s comment from other New York Times readers:
B. Rothman, New York City: “I completely agree. I have 6 grandchildren and weep inside for the calamitous life that is ahead for them.”
Ida Martinac, Berkeley, California: “I weep with you, Sophia. Whenever I look my 11 year old daughter in the eyes I feel so many emotions: guilt for bringing her into this dying world.”
Liberal, Texas: “I feel your pain. I have 2 sons. Neither one will have children and their partners agree. I’ll never have grandchildren. But I also realize that their decisions have in some way been molded by me. I am proud of their decision.”
Liz, Portland: “Frankly, as someone who has been concerned about climate change, and observing what is happening over the last ten years with real dread, I do not understand why anyone in the last ten years would voluntarily have a child.”
CC, Sonoma, California: “My only daughter shares your daughter’s feelings. I will have no grandchildren. As I watch my peers enjoying their final years surrounded by grandchildren, I can’t help feeling a little jealous. At the same time . . . our daughters are stepping up to the challenge. I’m proud of them.”
Marisa Leaf, Brooklyn, New York: “I, too, am coming to terms and accepting that my 36-year-old son will not have a child as well—for stated reasons. It is painful for me when I watch other young men and women his age going about town with their children. But I understand, and concur, on an intellectual level, that of course, they’re right. Bringing more children into the world these days is an existential worry. And irresponsible. So, as I grieve for our planet, I also grieve for the grandchildren that I will never have.”
What do all these deranged reactions have in common? How could so many people living in the healthiest, wealthiest society in human history welcome not having grandchildren?
The answer is they have been brainwashed by the media (and college). They have read and heard nothing—absolutely nothing—by scientists and scholars (such as Steve Koonin of NYU, Richard Lindzen of MIT, or William Happer of Princeton, to name just three) who have studied climate change and found the hysteria morally as well as scientifically indefensible. It is not possible to live a life insulated from left-wing ideas. But it is extraordinarily easy to lead a life insulated from all non-left-wing ideas.
So, then, the epiphany I had was this: A majority of people will believe anything the mass media tell them. This is especially true of those who received a college education. Colleges teach students not to question, not think for themselves, and not to think rationally.
That is why many people believe the world is coming to an end; it is good not to have children or grandchildren; men give birth; Russia colluded with the Trump campaign; Israel is an apartheid state; all-black dormitories on college campuses are progressive; there should be fewer police; it is fair to women to allow biological men to compete in women’s sports; and myriad other absurdities.
There is no other explanation for these deluded readers of the New York Times.
However, I do agree with them on one point. I, too, support their children’s decisions not to have children. The world doesn’t need more fools.
A Big Tech-led group is using its influence and power to broaden its shared censorship database to curb “extremist content” and collect video and images deemed white supremacist, according to Reuters. The expansion comes after the group “took on renewed urgency” after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which Democrats and tech giants continue to use as an excuse to justify suppression.
Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube, tech oligarchs trigger-happy to deplatform political dissidents, founded the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism in 2017 in what they labeled “a new collective effort to prevent the spread of terrorist and violent extremist content online.” Initially, the organization claimed to focus its efforts on rounding up content from terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State and the Taliban as designated by the United Nations, but now the monopolies running GIFCT are using their oligarch power to crack down on dissidents of their elitist agenda.
Just five years after its founding, GIFCT is expanding its database to include “white supremacist” content as determined by the United Nation’s Tech Against Terrorism projectand intelligence groups such as Five Eyes. According to Reuters, the database will include “attacker manifestos — often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence” as well as links and material from Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and other “neo-Nazi” groups that are identified and then censored or removed by social media platforms.
Other tech companies, which recently received pressure from the White House to flag content that doesn’t align with the administration’s COVID-19 propaganda from their respective platforms, are now joining social media giants in their efforts and will be able to access the trove of “extremist” material to see which platforms have already removed it.
Although new to GIFCT, many of these tech giants have previously engaged in censorship and deplatforming. Airbnb pledged to prevent “hate groups” from visiting D.C. during President Joe Biden’s peaceful inauguration. Mailchimp used its power to deplatform opinions it doesn’t like. Pinterest and Instagram banned former President Donald Trump.
This digital campaign, however, isn’t good enough for GIFCT’s Executive Director Nicholas Rasmussen, who said he wants a larger crackdown on “extremism.”
“Anyone looking at the terrorism or extremism landscape has to appreciate that there are other parts … that are demanding attention right now,” Rasmussen said, ignoring complaints of overreach to cite “the threats of far-right or racially motivated violent extremism” that could come through “audio” and “symbols.”
GIFCT’s decision comes on the heels of nearly a year and a half of rampant censorship by some of these same companies who are willing to do the government’s social-credit-system dirty work for them.
America had its first show trial on Tuesday and it was loathsome
Perhaps it’s because I grew up surrounded by extraordinarily tough
people, but I found myself singularly unmoved by the spectacle in the
House on Tuesday, which reminded me of a bad mash-up of Dr. Phil, Oprah,
and BLM-produced soap opera, rather than a legitimate inquiry into an
event that Democrats have seized upon to consolidate their power by
destroying their opposition. As sobbing congressmen and Capitol Police
officers took turns talking about their psychic injuries, I was
alternately embarrassed for them if they were really that weak, and
frightened of them if they were that sociopathic as a pathway to power.
A little about my background: My Dad
escaped Nazi Germany; helped found a kibbutz; fought at Crete and El
Alamein; and then fought again in the Israeli War of Independence. Tough
man. My mom spent four years in a Japanese concentration camp and
served in the Israeli War of Independence. Her best friend was a Polish
refugee whose family escaped one step ahead of the Nazis. The friend’s
husband, an American, spent three days trapped in a foxhole at the
Battle of the Bulge under fire. All my parents’ friends were like this:
Depression survivors, warriors, refugees, camp survivors. They were
tough people.
So again, because I know toughness, having been
raised in its shadow, perhaps I’m unduly harsh when I speak about the
men breaking down at the hearing. But I don’t think so.
On January
6, there was a ruckus outside the Capitol, which may have been fomented
by FBI agents and informants. Mysteriously, considering the size of the
crowd projected to be in D.C., both Nancy Pelosi and D.C. mayor Muriel
Bowser refused Trump’s offer to provide the National Guard. The Capitol
Police were not out in force and were unprepared.
Some of the people at the Capitol were
rowdy and violent. Most were not. They entered the Capitol – something
leftists routinely did during the Bush and Trump years, although it’s
not clear whether the leftists were invited in as the Trump supporters
were. Unlike leftists, these people mostly wandered around like polite
tourists. None were armed. A Capitol police officer murdered one of
those unarmed citizens but, unlike police officers who have been
involved in the deaths of violent, drugged-up men engaging in crimes,
his name is still secret and his record cleared.
While Antifa and BLM got a pass for their violent behavior during
2020 (and in all other years for that matter), the FBI has been hunting
January 6 people down like dogs. They are political prisoners kept in
inhumane circumstances. They are being overcharged with felonies, even
though most did nothing more than “trespass” in the People’s house or
“parade.” Doing this will ensure that they are forever deprived of their
right to vote or carry arms.
None of the politicians in the
Capitol came into contact with the Americans who entered the Capitol.
And yet we were treated to the disgraceful spectacle of Reps. Schiff and
Kinzinger sobbing. They’re bad actors. You could see the moving parts.
Then, the Capitol Police Officers spoke, with one of them blatantly lying when he said that Office Brian Sicknick was murdered. Falsus in uno; falsus in omnibus,
as the old jurists said – false in one thing, false in all things. No
one should believe his other testimony, including his claims about
racial abuse.
Tucker Carlson had an excellent summation of the
events on the Capitol, so I’ll let him provide the footage of the
theatrics and obvious lies:
Of course, the one thing that won’t be happening any time under this
grotesque, partisan, kangaroo court is the release of the 14,000 hours
of footage Pelosi is sitting on. This hearing isn’t about facts; it’s
about narrative, and Pelosi will ensure that America is drenched in
crocodile tears. Almost impressively, Republican representatives have
proven to be as useful as a glass hammer. There’s a little bit of posturing from some, but that’s seven months after America, like the CCP, began to have political prisoners.
Donald Trump put out one of his statements, and he asks the questions that really should be asked, but never will be:
- July 26, 2021 -
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
Nancy Pelosi is spending a great deal of time, effort, and money on
the formulation of a Fake and highly partisan January 6 Committee to
ask, “what happened?”
Will Nancy investigate herself and those on Capitol Hill who didn’t
want additional protection, including more police and National Guard,
therefore being unprepared despite the large crowd of people that
everyone knew was coming?
Will Nancy and her Committee study the massive Voter Fraud that took
place during the 2020 Presidential Election, particularly in swing
states, that was the reason hundreds of thousands of people came pouring
into Washington and, therefore, must be a big factor in the final
Committee Report? Now would be a very good time to study the large scale
Voter Fraud in our Presidential Election.
Will Nancy release the thousands of hours of tapes so we can see the
extent to which ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter played a role, while also
revealing “who killed Ashli Babbitt?” A real and thorough investigation
of this must be done—and what about all of the violence, murders, riots,
and fires that took place in Democrat run cities throughout the United
States by ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, with virtually no consequence
for this death and destruction?
Will Nancy look into the vicious partisan investigations of
Conservatives and Republicans that are taking place by prosecutors all
over the Country? The five-year investigation of me, and all that so
many have been through, including the fake Russia Russia Russia charge,
and including the local Democrat-controlled New York prosecutors who
work around the clock to get President Donald Trump, while murderers,
drug dealers, and human traffickers go free!
What happened in the House on Tuesday tells us one of
two things: We are either witnesses to the complete degradation of those
in Washington, whether elected or in the security forces. They are
desperately weak, mentally ill people who should not be allowed near
power. Alternatively, we are watching a fascist show trial run by people
determined to expand their power and obliterate the inherent liberties
named in the Constitution. They should be kept even further from power
than their mentally ill peers.
Once again, if you want this situation to change, you must be heard. Inform yourself (and we’re happy to help), but you need to reach out to your congresspeople, rather than letting leftists be the only ones they hear from.
Today was day one of the hearings on January 6th, held by Nancy Pelosi’s partisan select committee. What transpired was a sideshow of fake crying and irrelevant, sometimes questionable testimony from Capitol Police officers who offered absolutely nothing of substance in regards to fixing the security issues that plagued the Capitol that day.
Of course, because we are dealing with an event strictly meant to cause an emotional reaction, not actually accomplish anything, the lies flowed freely.
To start, Bennie Thompson, who himself objected to the electoral college in 2004, claimed that seven people lost their lives.
Actually, if we are going to use the broad rubric that Thompson is using, thousands of people lost their lives for a variety of different reasons across the country. Regardless, only one was a direct result of something done at the Capitol that day. That would be Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by an unidentified police officer. No, Officer Brian Sicknick did not die of injuries he sustained in the line of duty. He died a day later of a stroke he suffered nearly 12 hours after the events of January 6th. That is not in dispute. Any connection to January 6th is purely speculative, and in no other situation do we blame the deaths of officers who die of natural causes on stress endured while on duty. That’s not how any of this works.
Thompson is also lumping in two officers who later committed suicide despite there being no direct evidence whatsoever that their decisions were based on January 6th. All the other deaths in the “seven” mentioned were of natural causes.
Then there was the claim that January 6th was the worst attack on the Capitol since 1812.
Further, the Capitol building has been bombed numerous times throughout its history, resulting in extensive damage. The idea that the meandering trespassers of January 6th represented a greater threat than literally being shot or blown up does not pass muster. It’s the kind of claim a hysteric makes without regard for the facts.
Of course, the witnesses also got in on the act.
A lot of things happened on January 6th. What did not happen is a hitman directly ordering people to attack the Capitol, in this case, Donald Trump. During his speech, Trump specifically asked people to peacefully protest. That some of the protesters didn’t is ultimately on them for choosing not to listen. We have agency in this country, and people are responsible for their own actions.
Besides, there’s precious little evidence there was any intent to carry out a real “hit” that day. Those that entered the Capitol had ample opportunity to cause bodily harm to people inside and they didn’t. That includes police officers who stood in the hallways telling crowds to stay back. That the officers did that is commendable, but the reality is that they could have been easily overrun. That they weren’t is evidence that the crowds were merely looking to cause a scene, and that’s exactly what happened.
Nothing worthwhile is going to come from this stunt. Pelosi is not going to allow a real investigation into the security lapses, which would be the only practical thing to do at this point. Instead, she’s going to trot out people to tell sob stories, ignoring that just because something is bad, that doesn’t make it worthy of this kind of reaction. If Democrats and Pelosi’s Republicans actually cared about what happened on January 6th, they wouldn’t be lining up officers to give their opinions. Instead, they’d be focusing on whatever systematic failures occurred that need to be corrected. That is, ostensibly, the point of a committee like this.
But we know that’s not the point. Rather, the point is to cut commercials for 2022. I believe this will backfire, though.
What’s my number one complaint about today’s society?
Oh, yeah. Hatlessness. Men don't wear hats anymore. But what’s my number two complaint?
That’s right: Everyone is a bunch of sissies.
With this pandemic, it’s been sissy Christmas every day. Everyone is all, “Ooh! The virus is out there and going to get me! I’m going to hide in my house and wear my mask! Please inject me with stuff and tell me it will protect me!” It’s pathetic. No wonder nowadays people are confused about who women are, since everyone sounds like one.
It wasn’t like that back in the long, long ago — the good old days — when men were men, women were women, and you weren’t allowed to switch. Back then, we weren’t scared of any little old disease. And guess how we fared?
Well, yes, a lot of us died. Medicine was not quite as good back then. A lot less medical debt, a lot more dying. It’s a tradeoff. But we weren’t as whiny about it. And man, we had some diseases. Smallpox. Polio. Spanish Flu (and I know they say that name is offensive now, but that was our PC term for it; if you heard what we actually called it, it would blow your little tolerant minds). Those things, they’d kill you. But we didn’t care. We just lived our lives... well, some of us. Others dropped dead. We had a lot more funerals back then, but those are good social gatherings to meet and talk to each other, as we didn’t have Twitbook and Facer. So it all worked out.
And because we stood up to disease and death, we built this country into something great, with nuclear power and moon landings. You people can’t do that these days because you’re all hiding in your houses waiting for things to fall back to the stone age.
So that’s why you need to be like your ancestors and get out there and say, “I ain’t scared of you, disease! I ain’t even believe in germs and viruses; I’ve never seen them, and scientists could have just made those up!” And then get on with your life. What’s the worst that could happen? Well, yeah, you could die... but nothing worse than that.
Every time one of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests
I file with the FBI subsequently nets a result indicating potential or
actual surveillance or other kinds of actions targeting an American
domestic civil society organization, it obligates me to notify the
affected group to see how they want to proceed. A few groups have, in
the past, asked Cato not to go public with our findings; most others
have been willing to let us do so.
And then there’s Concerned Women of America (CWA), which has responded in exactly the way every group should when they discover they’ve been in the FBI’s crosshairs.
In the Washington Timescommenting on Cato’s FOIA findings, CWA CEO Penny Nance said this
“You want to believe that the people of your intelligence agencies and at the top of the FBI
are credible, and you want to believe that they are only looking at
Americans with probable cause, but I’ve learned that’s not necessarily
the case. That’s what this has taught me,” Ms. Nance said. “What this
has taught me is that the FBI does not need probable cause to snoop on Americans, and that is a wake‐up call.”
As the Times piece also noted, Senate Judiciary Committee
ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has asked Attorney General Merrick
Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray to explain just exactly why the FBI
was, without any criminal predicate whatsoever, allowing one or more FBI
agents to open an “Assessment” on CWA and troll public and government databases looking for evidence of corruption on the part of Nance’s organization.
That’s a welcome step, but it’s important to keep sight of the larger picture.
What the FBI did to CWA it could to do any domestic civil society organization.
Indeed, Cato has other examples of that to point to already, including FBI actively spying on a government watchdog group and monitoring
LNG pipeline project protesters, among others. It doesn’t take long for
these anecdotes to become real data. Not surprisingly, the FBI is doing
its best to keep the public from seeing that data, which is why, as the
Times reported, Cato is suing the FBI for copies of Assessments going back to 2009 (when the FBI was first authorized to use them).
In late October 2021, this country will have been living with the
PATRIOT Act for 20 years, and for 13 years with the FBI’s radical
investigative tool known as Assessments. It’s well past time for
Congress to open the books on these and every other surveillance program
implemented since the Church Committee era over 45 years ago. Failure
to do so will make it more likely that the creeping authoritarianism of
the surveillance state becomes inexorable…and possibly irreversible.
Article by Patricia McCarthy in The American Thinker
It can’t happen here? It is happening here!
Sinclair Lewis’s novel of 1935, It Can’t Happen Here,
was published amid the rise of fascism in Europe. The book is about the
political career of fictional Buzz Windrip, who is elected President in
1936, defeating FDR with a campaign promising a return to traditional
values, drastic social and economic reforms (he promises every American
$5k). Once elected, he becomes a totalitarian tyrant complete with his
own paramilitary force called the Minute Men!
Windrip
is Lewis’s version of an American Hitler and/or Mussolini. But
consider the parallels with the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Windrip outlaws dissent (consider the Biden administration’s partnership
with big tech to censor opposing opinions). He, Windrip, imprisons his
critics just as Biden has jailed anyone present at the Capitol on
January 6. Biden has his own Minute Men, the FBI as well a couple of
other paramilitary groups in service of his agenda – Antifa and
BLM. They are his shock troops that, like Windrip’s thugs, terrorize
his opponents, freedom-loving, independent thinking Americans.
Like
Biden, Buzz Windrip abrogated the rights of civilians and divided the
nation into “administrative sectors” to be managed by federal “Corpo”
authorities and enforced by his Minute Men. Pelosi is now installing branches of the Capitol Police throughout
the country to seek out perceived threats to members of Congress. The
similarities to Lewis’s two-dimensional dictator and the Biden regime
are chilling.
As in the novel, opponents of the Obama/Biden regime have been found guilty until proven innocent of un-committed crimes, from Gen. Michael Flynn to
Roger Stone, to anyone who worked for Trump to the 1/6 protesters, by
corrupt judges in kangaroo courts whipped up by a manic, historically
ignorant media that loathe anyone or anything remotely conservative or
constitutional. Viciously opposed to Donald Trump, the mainstream media
covered for the massive crimes against the nation that were occurring
from the day Trump became the Republican presidential candidate. The left invented the Russia collusion narrative out
of thin air. It was pursued as legitimate by the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA
and our despicable journalist class. All of them very likely knew it
was false from the outset, but they all colluded to damage a President
who actually meant to represent the people, not just the ruling
elite. The swamp, left and right, was threatened and fought back with
the ferocity of a cornered animal. With the 2020 election, they think
they’ve won, but have they?
This quote from Lewis’ book perfectly describes Joe Biden:
“The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar
easily detected, and in his "ideas" almost idiotic, while his
celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture,
and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country
store. Certainly there was nothing exhilarating in the actual words of
his speeches, nor anything convincing in his philosophy. His political
platforms were only wings of a windmill.”
Indeed. Biden cannot utter a coherent sentence. He is
the face of a corrupt band of radicals who, along with Obama, vowed to
“transform America.” He was fraudulently installed and has little
actual personal support. The Trump presidency rendered the left well
and truly deranged, without any moral compunctions going forward. The
man and his supporters had to be destroyed just like Lewis’s Buzz
Windrip’s opponents had to be ruined.
The protagonist in Sinclair’s novel is a
journalist, Doremous Jessup, who founds an organization to fight
Windrip’s destructive policies. He founds a newspaper and publishes
accounts of Windrip’s abuses. Jessup’s counterparts in our alternative
media are the champions of truth and there are more and more of them
every day. Big tech tries to silence them, but they are proliferating
faster than they can censor them. The massive, life-long corruption of
the Biden family is now a known fact. The depravity of Biden’s son
Hunter has been revealed. The corruption at the DOJ and FBI is being
exposed. It was the FBI that set up the fake kidnapping attempt of
Gretchen Whitmer and perhaps even had a hand in orchestrating the event
of January 6. The truth will out.
But
not one of them was armed; none have been charged with
insurrection. They are being held without bail while the hundreds of
rioters/looters/arsonists of the summer of 2020 are free as birds. This
is the stuff of communist China, the Soviet Union, Venezuela and
Castro’s Cuba. Sinclair Lewis, like Orwell and Huxley, knew of what
they wrote. Tyrants are with us always and when they get power are
lethal. “Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.” - Charles Peguy
All of which brings us to the panic porn that
is the COVID pandemic and this administration’s doubling down on
despotism. It has become increasingly clear that the COVID virus was
indeed engineered in the lab in Wuhan under the gain-of-function
auspices of the monstrous Anthony Fauci, seemingly the most powerful man
on the planet. He has long supported gain-of-function research that
makes an animal virus transmissible to humans; he had/has the authority
to fund such experiments and did, even after the Obama administration
banned it.
Was it released purposefully? Time will tell. Fauci
and his pals have long wanted to test their experimental vaccines on
humans. But this flu was killing mostly the elderly and/or those
suffering from co-morbidities; Fauci and his cohorts likely knew that
HCQ and ivermectin could and would both prevent and treat the
illness. But those drugs were off-patent; Fauci and his partners in
crime would not be able to enrich themselves. Those tried and true
therapeutics had to be suppressed, even feared. Doctors could not be
allowed to prescribe them. This would be a good time to implement
their global reset and make nine new billionaires in big pharma. In the words of Hayek, “Emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.”
The left has adopted, embraced actually, Orwell’s newspeak of 1984. They have redefined the meaning of the words crime and punishment. Antifa
and BLM looters, rioters and arsonists are not criminals while in their
world human beings born white are criminals by virtue of the color of
their skin. How obscenely obvious is it that this is the left’s plan
to further divide this country, to “otherize” (one of their many absurd
euphemisms) those who have had the impertinence to be born white (or
choose to be unvaccinated). We all get it; it’s all about payback for
slavery even though nearly 700k American lives were lost fighting to end
that evil institution that the Democrats fought so hard to
preserve. To this day, the Democrat party is the party of racism, Joe
Biden being one of the most egregious exemplars. Watch his attempted humiliation of Clarence Thomas at his confirmation hearings. Biden is a thug, and as obvious a racist as we are likely to ever see in public, then or now.
A thinly disguised version of Lewis’ novel appeared in 1983 as a television series, “V.” This
time the fascist takeover of America was by alien invaders. Earlier
scripts based on the book were considered “too cerebral” for American
viewers. There were numerous theatrical productions based on the
novel. Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Arthur Koestler (Darkness at Noon) and Sinclair Lewis each wrote their dystopian novels in the 1930s - ‘40s.
And
yet the nation has survived the totalitarian/communist ideologues who
have attempted to co-opt our democratic republic for well over a hundred
years. We will survive the Biden administration’s wholesale assault on
this country as founded as well even though he has done more damage
than any previous tyrant in a very short time.
Millions of
Americans are waking up to the dark and deceptive agenda of the radical
left: CRT to pit citizens against one another, cancel culture to
obliterate the First Amendment and terrorize those with differing
opinions from expressing them, and now the attempt to implement state
control over our bodies with vaccine mandates.
The Americans in Lewis’ novel are shocked by what they see unfolding in their America: “Why, America’s the only free nation on earth. Besides! Country’s too big for a revolution. No, no! Couldn’t happen here!” Lewis also predicted that “When
fascism comes to the United States it will be wrapped in the American
flag and will claim the name of 100 per-cent Americanism.” We are
enduring that moment once again. The challenge this time is to wake up
the people who have yet to realize that the liberty they take for
granted is in grave danger. The patriots who fought for our
independence from 1775 to 1783 were a mere third of the colonists. It
just may take more of us this time.
