The United States is in A Dark Place
American Thinker ^ | 3 Jan, 2024 | E. Jeffrey Ludwig

Posted on 01/03/2024 6:02:46 AM PST by MtnClimber

We are in a dark place as a country. This is a direct result of the extreme shift to the Left by the Democrat Party. Prior to 2020, President Barack Obama was our most far-Left President. But even Obama was still on the cusp between being an extreme liberal and being a communist. In a recent book, John Drew wrote about his occasional meetings with Obama in the early 1980s and that Drew -- a leftist at that time -- had persuaded Obama to accept a more moderate position than that of the hardcore Marxists. In another article in the same book, Trevor Loudoun reveals that Obamacare was a dilution of the healthcare plans desired by the Marxists in that it did not replace all private healthcare with a national, government-run healthcare system. However, in July 2020, the camp pushing Joe Biden towards the Presidency and the camp promoting the communist Bernie Sanders’ candidacy reached a landmark agreement -- a 110-page pact regarding goals for the government. In so doing, Joe Biden broke the policy of the Democrats going back to 1948 of not embracing the far-Left, communist element of the Democrat Party.

The language of the Biden-Sanders pact is dry and opaque, and most citizens would not have the patience to plow through it. Convoluted and turgid prose is, to this writer, a clear sign of an attempt to obscure the purposes and direction that the writers intend to take. In this case, it is clear that the intent of the Democrats is to implement communistic revisionism into government policies, to overthrow the values that inhere and undergird our legal system, to overthrow the principle of private property either through nationalization or through infiltration of and control of the private sector.

The long march through the institutions has made it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Can we vote our way out?

“Can we vote our way out?”

If a strong message is sent and received, they MAY let us actually vote. Otherwise why would they?

More "Biden this, Biden that" nonsense.

Joe Biden, what's left of him, has zero to do with what has been happening since 2021. Other persons, known and unknown, are running the government.

I have many old-school Democrat friends. Good people. Some are young. Some are not so young. They believe in hard work. They put the flag out on holidays. And they just don’t get that their party is no longer the party of JFK.

They are not members of a working class party. They are members of a communist party.

Their blindness drives me crazy. I’m on a campaign to get them to see the truth. But I must be careful, and very indirect. I haven’t made much progress so far. I fear it will take a real shock to get them to wake up.

As the saying goes, a liberal is a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet.

They are the party of The Weather Underground. They didn’t just go away, they changed tactics. Instead of bombing buildings, they became school teachers, and infiltrated the institutions, including the Democratic Party.

And here is what they have planned for us....

Absolutely. Private property including your person.

"Other persons, known and unknown, are running the government."

By paying attention, you can surmise some of them. For example, take a comment Charles Schumer made a few years ago: "Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you"

Then...

Who recently (relatively) has shown up in two trouble spots (Ukraine and Israel/Gaza)--William Burns. Managing empires is hard.

Then...

And there have been several other people much smarter than I who have noticed US 2020 resembled color revolutions conducted elsewhere.

Then...

And there is Obama, who imho was another cypher/puppet.

Then...

Then a recent column by David Ignatius, which should have imho recieved more attention than it got, because he typically puts out what the community mentioned by Schumer wants out.

Then....

Immense pressure to keep FISA and section 702 alive, despite all evidence of massive domestic abuse, including its use to conduct interference in elections

If one were looking, the finger would point at certain three letter entities, along with the State Department for starters.

Yes, I have my own list as well.

It’s sad that so many people around here are invested in “beating Joe Biden”, as if he is somebody important.

These are the same people who think the Clintons still have influence in our politics.

By the time the Newsom/Whitmer ticket is uncloaked, they are going to be exhausted by all the “FJB” stupidity that they will collapse in a heap, just like the “big win” of banning “CRT” - and all the bad guys had to do was change the name.

Exactly that. They are blind because their ass hasn’t been burned by their ideology. Once they wake up, they’ll be the biggest mouths against the system.

Very interesting. This is the first I’ve heard of the Biden-Sanders pact. Someone should put out a Cliff Notes translation of it so people can see what a bunch of commies they are.

Since the vote has been bastardized, no.

“Can we vote our way out?”

History strongly suggests that the answer to that question, is an emphatic “No!”
