... "They certainly are!"

Our Establishment is revolting – in fact, it stinks on ice. What you see out there is our alleged betters struggling mightily to hold onto the power that we Normal people dared to wrest away from them in 2016. One component of their campaign is the burning and looting information operation conducted by black-clad pawns. The other component is the soft power corporate/media/cultural conspiracy to silence dissent and enforce fearful conformity to their narrative. Usually, a revolution is conducted by the peasants to throw off a tyrannical ruling class. Here, the ruling class is waging a political and cultural war to retake and then tighten its grip on the masses. They are no longer even pretending to seek the consent of the governed. And once they retake power, that’s it – they will never give up power again.
This is about casting off the “tyranny” of you having rights and interests that get in the way of the best and the brightest doing whatever the hell they want, a continuing theme in my new book The 21 Biggest Lies about Donald Trump (and You!). And a key component of this cynical plot is systematically denying you the protection of norms and laws, all while subjecting you to them where it benefits the elite.
Let’s review.
Remember free speech? That was fun while it lasted. Oh, it still exists, to the extent that you may speak freely as long as your free speech conforms to the Establishment narrative. Do you feel like you can say whatever you think freely and without restraint? Or do you experience a twinge of fear of the consequences if you get online and state that no, you do not support the Marxist goals of Black Lives Matter? If so, their plan is working. You are supposed to be afraid and intimidated – and while the endless list of people cancelled, abused, and fired from jobs because they refused to kowtow to the mob serves to outrage us, it also serves to teach us that there is a fearsome price to be paid for failing to go along and cheer the Emperor’s new duds.
Remember the big lie that Trump is the great destroyer of norms? What about the norm of free speech? Not the First Amendment – that’s a constitutional guarantee. It’s the norm, the general consensus that people will not be punished for their views even outside the law, that’s dead, and not at the hand of The Donald.
Maybe you can appeal for support to the neutral truthtellers of the media, the brave firefighters who ensure the little guy gets a fair shake. Nah. Our garbage media is dedicated to reinforcing the status quo – instead of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, it afflicts the afflicted and sucks up to the comfortable.
Hey, maybe academia will stand up for truth, justice, and equality. And maybe you just took an enormous bong hit.
Ok then, the objective science people of science will tell us the truth because science is important and science is scientific and they surely would never get involved in politics. Except they lie about global warming, and about masks, and they give a free pass to woke protests while scolding those gnarly (and probably racist) Ozark proles about how their pool party will become an orgy of death. Never mind that a month on, there’s still no pile of pangolin flu corpses to point at.
Well, at least our military remains above the fray. Oops. In an era when our Navy ships can’t keep from running into other boats and turbaned banditos continue to roam freely through the Hindu Kush after two decades, we see the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs appear on video to apologize for appearing in public with the guy we elected his commander-in-chief. The military cannot be political, the guys who can’t win a war tell us, as they become super-political. The ChiComs, who have a serious military unlike our shamefully frivolous one, would be wise to time their inevitable devastating sneak attack for when our armed forces are on a three-day diversity training stand-down. If only our armed forces had a recent track record of victory to match its track record of wokeness.
How about our police? We’ve seen some signs of push-back, like in Atlanta, but if they won’t even protect their station house from the woke mobs, are they going to protect your house? And don’t think some are not eager to join in the petty oppression – how many cops obediently hassled mommies for letting their kids play outside during the pandemic panic?
And don’t think you can rely on constitutional guarantees. You can have guarantees all day long and they don’t mean a thing unless they are enforced by the courts. Do you see the courts enforcing your rights? Look at Chief Justice John Souter – I mean Roberts – and his antics. Yeah sure. DACA is one (preferred) president creating a law via decree that overrides an actual law – you know, one of those “I’m Just a Bill” laws – but it can’t be undone by a subsequent (non-preferred) president. Huh?
Oh, and remember your right to worship? You might think that a right to practice your religion means some bureaucrat can’t ban church while clapping like a trained seal as thousands of woke protestors mix n’ mingle, but no. According to Souter II, the First Amendment doesn’t make your silly Jesus hootenannys special, even though it expressly does. Why, your church can be treated just like a movie theater or bowling alley – that is, much worse than, say, massive political donor Walmart.
What are the chances that the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Grown-In-Office, would again construe the Second Amendment’s admonition that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed to mean the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed? We should be glad that the Supreme Court hasn’t taken up a gun case in a decade.
And forget equal justice under criminal law. It’s dual justice. Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit commits crimes that would get you locked up but she gets a pass. McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Comey and the rest lie and walk free, while Mike Flynn commits no crime and has to fight the power to even get a dismissal of a plea obtained by the rankest prosecutorial misconduct. Rioters and criminals get released with a wave and a smile; cops get threatened with death row for fighting back when a career criminal tries to taser them. It’s all a lie and a scam.
This is all part and parcel of a strategy to strip us of any kind of refuge or recourse from abuse. We cannot look to the marketplace of ideas to make our case because our case has been declared verboten. The institutions are arrayed against us. The law means nothing because it will not be enforced neutrally. So why again do we consider ourselves bound by the social contract the establishment has been using like Charmin?
What we are seeing is the elite’s ruthless pursuit of the power we stripped them of back in 2016 when we made the Hillary fans cry. And since then, despite it all, we have made progress – some good judges, no more wars, trade realism with China. But this is intolerable to the leftist Establishment.
We the People must be overthrown. Now the question is whether We the People are going to let that happen.
The Republic died a long time ago.
Kurt Schlichter gets it: we are not “winning.”
ALL institutions have ALready Crumbled.
I’m in...
We have pretty much already lost.
....it’s ever only one generation away.
Bkmk.
Certainly appears so. Jesus told us to watch and realize what season we are in. Lawless ethnos rising against ethnos is happening globally. The ‘Body of Christ’ will be departing soon, to allow the lawlessness to abound. To those not in the Departure I would say, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Wait until a singular brilliant liar steps forward ...”
The Tree of Liberty should have been watered long ago.
The real purpose for all of this anti-police sentiment and especially the demonizing by the media is to wear down the moral of the police/establishment (as they are the ones who maintain “order”) so that good people will no longer want to be a cop, and then they can install and take control over their new security detail.
I bet the soon to be defunding will certainly not reduce spending by these out of control democrat cesspools, but redirect money to “community groups” that eventually become armed and will replace the current police departments.
We should be glad that the Supreme Court hasn’t taken up a gun case in a decade.
The SC is afraid. They know that trying one of their lying “decisions” around the 2nd amendment can set off full-on armed defiance.
My bad back prevents me most physical activity. And I never served in the military but I can damn sure pull a trigger. And I will in defense of our freedoms.
Now can somebody set me up in a sniper’s nest?! JK :)
When McDonalds runs out of Chicken McNuggets, a call goes out to Obama’s Civilian Army, who show up, burn down the restaurant and beat the manager to death
... "They certainly are!"
Marking.
“conducted by black-clad pawns”. Better known as Useful Idiots!
The Democrat's push of the Wuhanic Plague hoax shows that our rights are not guaranteed and will still need to be fought for. It's always been that way but now they've made it clearer who's pulling the strings and how far they'll go.
Ah, the "money" line.
So why would the Dems let it all ride on Joe Biden? (Funny adjectives no longer needed - "Joe Biden" is one all to himself).
They must know that the November election is already in the bag, somehow - maybe it ends up with the Supremes (that non-biased arbiter of all emanating penumbra-Constitutionalisms).
Why else would they all be so unconcerned?
Buy more ammo.
This “We the People” still says I’m gonna die on my feet rather than live on my knees. I trained and fought in too many places to watch these commie bastards take away what I have bled for.
F the Uniparty Establishment and their racist shock troops. Defund the police? I effing double dog dare them. That turns us loose.
.............................................
I am one of many millions of Americans who are ready and anxious to get turned loose. What most all of us are waiting for now is the rise of leadership, the establishment of an organization, and the development of plans for the annihilation of our enemies. And the sooner the better!
Either way, sooner or later, there will be blood on the streets.
..............................................
There already is, but it’s not yet the blood of our enemies. Hopefully that will be changing very soon.
