Tyranny and Weakness
The American Mind ^ | 5/27/21 | James Poulos

Posted on 05/27/2021 1:39:12 PM PDT by PoliticallyShort

There is little question now that our sitting regime is overextending itself in extraordinary and combative ways that flow from its own deepening weakness and its perception of itself as growing weaker. Obvious examples abound concerning the aftermath of January 6th 2021, especially in the monomania with which the ruling class and its media assets labors to portray America as in the grips of an “insurrectionist” crisis that can only be faced down by institutionalizing a new automated surveillance regime targeting citizens frankly discussing political questions online in a manner fundamental to our elementary rights under our constitutional form of government.

But there are other, weirder examples, including the bizarre fashion in which regime-affiliated media and its governance elite are flipping official positions in real time on top-level controversies, from the origin of the coronavirus and the moral status of Bill Gates to the existence of UFOs and the prospect of imminent war involving China or Russia. And the mere existence of a six trillion dollar federal budget raises fundamental questions about the nature of sovereign financial strength and weakness: at what point—a matter sharpened by the widening interest in cryptocurrency—does a government debase its currency and lower interest rates to such a point that the ordinary person simply loses faith in the reality of the financial system? Especially in an economy, such as ours, where so much of the terribly scarce growth over the past few generations has come through financialization itself?

All these people didn’t come up with this idea themselves, so WHO told them to do it?

Obvious examples abound concerning the aftermath of January 6th 2021...

The actual "disturbance" on January 6, 2021, took place over a period of six hours, after a peaceful rally by President Donald J. Trump.

Antifa and BLM are rioting and looting this very minute. These terrorist groups have been at it for several years. The destruction of property, take-over of buildings, creation of occupied lawless zones, burning, looting, and rioting have destroyed small businesses, government offices, resulted in deaths, and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

Why are the Democrats so obsessed with a six hour disturbance? What was their role in setting it up? Why did Nancy Pelosi tell the Capital Police to stand down? Who gave the order to open the doors?

I’d like to see the memo that went out to all of the courts instructing them to deny all election challenges without a hearing. Courts have forfeited any right to respect or confidence. I’d love to know what was said and sho said it, who send out the instructions. It’s not coincidence.
