The Bait and Switch Nation

photog Current Events , ,

The American people have been the victims of a generational swindle.  For the last hundred years and more we were sold on the idea that America was a contract between its people and those running the federal government.  We would follow all the rules and pay our taxes and work the majority of our lives to keep the bureaucracy employed and they would oversee the process of making the colossal manufacturing and industrial capacity of a modern continental power work smoothly and benignly for us and our children.

We were told by the people in charge that ours was a nation of laws and being part of this exceptional place, we were guaranteed by those laws all of the rights and freedoms that the contract specified.

Well, the American people upheld their part of the bargain.  We worked and paid our taxes.  We and our ancestors and our children have fought their wars.  And we believed in the exceptional nature of the American contract.

Well, we don’t believe it anymore.  Maybe it used to be true.  Maybe someone like Teddy Roosevelt believed in the sanctity of the American contract.  But the Bushes, Clintons, Obamas and certainly Joe Biden couldn’t give a damn what happens to us or our children.  In fact, more or less, they just want us to drop dead.

You see, they don’t think they need us anymore.  Who needs soldiers when you have drones and atom bombs?  Who needs factory workers when you have China as your factory.  Who even needs a professional class when you can import scientists and engineers by the boatload from Asia and at half price?

And so, we’ve reached the point where they’re chloroforming off our children’s generation with joblessness, homelessness, fentanyl and social dysfunction.  They’re bringing in the Third World to cut their grass, babysit their kids, fill up the inner cities and contribute to the racial wars that they’re fomenting.  And the last piece of the puzzle is the environmental racket where they tell us to turn off the heating and cooling of our homes, drive cars without energy and learn to eat crickets.

It’s quite a good joke on us.  And maybe it’ll go as they hope with the middle class bankrupted and sinking into the underclass before disappearing altogether.  And so, the millionaires and billionaires and their managerial class toadies can continue to live like princelings amid the Brazil-like squalor that the rest of us will endure.

But I secretly nurse the hope that they immiserate the country too quickly and it cuts across so many class and racial lines at once that they create a grass roots movement to displace the whole Democrat party, branch and root.  And if there are enough smart guys ready to take advantage, maybe they can enact a massive purge of the elites.  And I’m not talking about a reign of terror or anything monstrous.  Just a populist uprising where the inhabitants of Martha’s Vineyard suddenly find themselves on the receiving end of some comeuppance from the likes of me.

Of course, I wouldn’t bet much money that it will happen.  Those with all the money get most of the breaks.  But look, putting Joe Biden in charge isn’t the work of a super-genius.  It’s possible that the smarter elites have already died of old age and the ones left are dimwitted.  So, who knows?  Maybe my wish will come true.  Stick around and maybe we’ll see in November.

Guest Contributor – Chemist – 21JAN2024 – My Version of 2024

Or, the normies realize that rule of law is dead. After watching rioters get away with Burn, Loot, Murder while it is called peaceful protest and real peaceful protestors get decades long sentences for years – coupled with blatant election fraud for 2 national elections in a row they will have to realize that.
Now what?
Now the normies can no longer ignore what has been true for years and they stop obeying the laws.
Nothing overt – they don’t want to be jailed for decades on the charge of parading – but small stuff. Little things that add up. This is how a society falls apart.

This could be one scenario, but the most likely will be a repeat of the 2021 rallying cry ” Greatest threat to our democracy everrrr” and a total blockade against judicial intervention orchestrated to make this the new normal, that is until the WEF implementation of AI predictive elections.
If this does happen the Constitution is revoked, and all bets are off. By getting away with this in 2016, but not cheating hard enough, and again in 2020, but being too obvious they will advocate for a peaceful solution. In 2020 the movie “The Hunt” was delayed in release because it directly displayed the elites content for Joe Normal, I predict the upcoming predictive movie “Civil War” will also be delayed lest it make people start to wonder.
Any remedy will leave approximately half of Americans feeling betrayed by their government, either because they are forced to accept alphabet Mafia training, DIE inclusive hiring, and give up their property to the replacement serfs, or the alphabet Mafia gets told welcome out of the closet, now stay away from the the children, judgment based on content of character rather than skin tones, and securing the border, with deportations of foreign nationals, and loss of welfare support for said imported replacements.
No one solution will create a unified country again, without an external threat to make us forget our petty first world issues. Forgive the rant, typing as stream of consciousness while the coffee soaks in.

I’ve Found the Leftist Pundit of the Week

photog Current Events, Trump , ,

PBS’s ‘Firing Line’ host Margaret Hoover does her best George Stephanopoulos impression trying to shame RINO Chris Sununu into saying he would vote for Biden over Trump.  To his credit Sununu wasn’t cowardly enough to let her force him into that.  She keeps pecking away at him to say that January 6th was such an abomination that Biden would be the only legitimate choice because of “our democracy.”

When she parrots the line about Trump weaponizing the Justice Department against his enemies Sununu amusingly mentions that some people say that the Democrats have already been doing just that.  You can see the frustration in her AWFL face.

So as much as Sununu is a typical New England Republican, meaning a libertarian Democrat, he has the basic political survival instincts not to completely betray his own party on air.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/01/20/chris_sununu_trump_is_gasoline_on_fire_but_i_would_vote_for_him_because_thats_how_bad_joe_biden_is.html

If even Chris Sununu has the sense to see that Donald Trump is popular enough to get enough votes to become president then the Democrats must be feeling the heat in this campaign environment.  I bet they force Joe Biden out.  Some people say he won’t be pushed.  But the FBI has all the evidence they could possibly need to expose the Biden Crime Family for what it is.  Biden is not a courageous man.  He’s a stooge.  He’ll do what he’s told.

Poor Margaret Hoover.  Even Chris Sununu has begun telling her that the Biden jig is up.

What Happens If 2024 is Rigged Too?

Suppose 2024 is a carbon copy of 2020.  At 11:30 pm, with Donald Trump ahead by comfortable margins, the counting stops in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia and after several days of slow-motion vote counting, Biden wins these states and the presidency.

This is the Dissident Right’s checkmate scenario; a permanent Democrat lock on the federal government.  No matter how lousy the Left’s handling of the economy and the border and foreign affairs Republicans will be shut out of the White House and Congress and eventually through attrition the Supreme Court too.  Checkmate.

The question to answer is what, if anything, will the Right do about it?

And here is another case of no one knows for sure.  Could it all just go forward, not with a bang but a whimper?  Certainly, it could.  Maybe even, it’s likely it would.  And that would seal the fate of the “constitutional republic” for at least a generation and maybe for good.  So that’s the worst case.  What else is there?

I think the best-case scenario is a Conservative Convention.  I don’t mean a Republican convention.  In fact, I would hope the attendees would studiously ignore their party affiliation and concentrate on their status as normal Americans.  I think every state should select delegates and these men should open up negotiations on forming a Red State Council.  This would be an organization to allow the Red States to coordinate, integrate and amplify the efforts of these states to neutralize the deleterious effects of the federal government and at the same time build alternative institutions both private and public to advance the interests and nurture the citizens they represent.

For the normal Americans trapped in the Blue States this Council would provide an indirect leadership.  Commercial support by these Blue State inhabitants for any businesses fostered by the Council would be mutually beneficial for both consumers and corporations.  And these refugees can benefit from such resources as conservative colleges where their children can get a sane education.

None of these things will happen easily or quickly, which is an even more important reason that they need to begin immediately after the futility of federal elections has been proven once and for all.  It will only be by beginning the process of forging a separate identity that any sense of hope will appear.  This identity should be based on a refusal to surrender our rights to freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of association, freedom of religion and the rest of the Bill of Rights.  By choosing these rights as the basis for our identity we demonstrate that we are the direct successors of the American republic and therefore the legitimate heirs to its heritage.  This will provide us with the basis for our efforts to form new institutions.

For instance, we should sponsor the creation of communication and media companies that will respect freedom of speech and the fourth amendment’s protection against unreasonable search and seizure:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

We can’t have phone companies and e-mail services allowing the government to spy on Americans anymore.  The only way this can be enforced is if the Red States enforce these restrictions themselves.

And the Red States will have to police illegal immigration themselves.  Expelling the immigrants either back to their countries of origin or else to “sanctuary” blue states could be part of this policy.

And there are a thousand things from affirmative action to sexual deviancy that needs to be addressed by a conservative coalition.  But the only way anything will be achieved is by making a start.  Until we hear that such a gathering has been arranged, we live without hope of regaining our rights and freedoms.  And the day that should begin is the day after the 2024 election is stolen.
