Prisoners of Themselves
“Okay, let’s be clear. If the intelligence neighborhood led by the CIA will not be the ‘deep state’, what’s?”
– Jeffrey Tucker
You understand, don’t you, that the gross misconduct of presidency officers from RussiaGate on right down to the courtroom of Choose Juan Merchan has amounted to at least one steady operation in opposition to the American individuals?
If it had been ever actually adjudicated, many lots of of them would possibly go to jail, or worse.
Every successive seditious and treasonous motion they try in opposition to their arch-nemesis, Mr. Trump, solely compounds their legal legal responsibility — the Steele File, CIA agent Eric Ciaramella’s 2019 impeachment prank, the Covid-19 caper, the George Floyd-BLM hustle, the 2020 election hijinks, the J-6 op and the Home J-6 Committee conjured as much as spin it, the current battery of farcical courtroom instances — and but the Golden Golem of Greatness not solely stays defiantly at massive, however appears to amass ever extra electoral mojo.
The epic failure of those mighty efforts, and the humiliation entailed, has these days pushed this huge bureaucratic cabal – collectively styled as “the blob” – to a stage of abject desperation that appears quite a bit like madness.
They worry for his or her lives, their fortunes, their chattels, and their households, and so they appear able to wreck the republic to avoid wasting themselves. They’ve to date just about wrecked American justice with their lawfare ways — a degenerate marketing campaign to make use of the vested authority of prosecutors and judges to twist and cheat the legislation at the price of the legislation’s legitimacy. Merrick Garland, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Marc Elias, Christopher Wray, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg have made legislation the enemy of the individuals.
All this turns into extra apparent every day, as an example occasions of the previous week in Choose Aileen Cannon’s federal courtroom in Florida the place the Mar-a-Lago paperwork case proceeds. Seems that Particular Counsel Jack Smith has intentionally messed with the proof, which is patently felonious. Additionally, seems that someday between the “Joe Biden” inauguration and the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August, 2022, bins of presidential paperwork saved by the US Normal Companies Administration had been “delivered” to Mr. Trump’s mansion with none correct accounting for what might need been in them. A set-up you suppose? Why not? After all the pieces else the FBI and the DOJ have tried since 2015?
Christopher Wray specifically might need wished some surefire possible trigger to get his brokers into Mar-a-Lago the place, rumor has it, Mr. Trump saved his personal file of proof in opposition to the FBI and DOJ officers who concocted the “Crossfire Hurricane” chapter of RussiaGate. Even in case you assume that Mr. Trump had a number of copies of the factor, FBI Director Wray — in place since 2017 all through most of RussiaGate — certainly wished to see what Mr. Trump was holding if it might turn out to be needed for present and former FBI / DOJ officers to defend themselves in courtroom in opposition to very critical costs.
You see the desperation, don’t you? And the way stupendously amateurish these machinations have been? Planting proof after which fiddling round with it? I’m ready for the second when Choose Cannon summons Jack Smith and pronounces to his face that she is tossing the case for prosecutorial misconduct. Will she add a legal referral to that? How will that have an effect on the opposite case (making an attempt to overturn the 2020 election) introduced in opposition to Mr. Trump in Choose Tanya Chutkan’s DC federal district courtroom? Who will prosecute it if Jack Smith can now not perform as Particular Counsel? And because the case was contrived in his identify — even when Eisen, McCord, Weissmann, and others are actually the authors — does that case blow up, too?
Letitia James’s actual property case underneath Choose Arthur Engoron was so idiotic it will possibly’t probably survive an final attraction, and the Alvin Bragg confection underneath Choose Merchan is enjoying out like one thing that normally solely occurs in locations like Honduras or Liberia. But the American Left, the “progressive” Democratic Celebration, is staking all the pieces on it. It’s all they’ve left Lawfare-wise, at the least for now.
Which brings us to the query:
Why do the non-governmental elites of this land, the managerial and considering lessons, the faculty presidents, the cable information producers, the company execs, the film administrators, the entire arts institution. . . why do they really feel compelled, for practically a decade now, to hitch their identification and their self-respect to this incredible practice of Kafka-esque corruption, tyranny, and abuse? How did they get owned by the blob?
We might by no means discover out, and so they might by no means know both, even after they snap out of the mass formation they’ve been in thrall to. However they’ve made themselves ridiculous — figures like Sam Harris, Stephen Colbert, and Rob Reiner — yelling about “saving our democracy” whereas the blob they worship systematically disassembles the US Structure, and makes American legislation a world laughingstock.
Most of my outdated ex-friends are using the identical ideological bus. You must surprise: how did the likes of “Joe Biden,” Merrick Garland, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Christopher Wray, Fani Willis, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, and Invoice Gates turn out to be their heroes?
Did the Covid vaccines destroy their minds? Are they actually avid for central financial institution digital cash and surveillance of their each transfer? Do they need to be informed learn how to dwell by the WHO?
Issues are going south quick now in our nation. If these individuals ever cherished the concept of being free to assume their very own ideas and dwell their very own lives, it’s getting late within the recreation. They’ll find yourself prisoners of themselves.
