Controlling Elections
The 2024 presidential and general elections are now less than a year away. Will they be the last genuine elections under our constitutional system? They could well be. Communist regimes and authoritarian governments carry out “elections,” but everyone knows they are charades. Is that where we are headed? Some observers will argue that we are there already, as demonstrated by the massive “irregularities” of the 2020 U.S. presidential election and the 2022 midterm elections, and the subsequent labeling by the media-industrial complex of anyone who questioned those elections as “election deniers,” “conspiracy theorists,” “domestic extremists,” and “insurrectionists.”
What should be painfully obvious to all clear-eyed realists is that we have moved beyond the stage where the Deep State’s Fedgov minions and their media shills merely defame and demonize their opposition. They have already moved into the next stage of criminalizing their opposition. That means you, me, and, eventually, just about everyone. For the moment their focus is Donald Trump, MAGA Republicans, January 6 protesters, pro-life activists, election-integrity advocates, parents upset over LGBT grooming, and Covid mandate challengers. They have sent their jackbooted thugs to round up these political opponents and drag them shackled in public “perp walks” in front of accommodating “news” cameras. The Stalinesque show trials have begun: Donald Trump, Dr. Peter Navarro, Roger Stone, General Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Mark Houck, and more.
On August 8, 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland sent the FBI on a highly publicized raid of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate for the alleged purpose of confiscating “classified” documents. It was a brazen use of police powers against a political rival. It was an unprecedented act in this country, something that we had previously associated with third-world tin-pot dictatorships. But Team Biden was just getting warmed up. On November 18, 2022, Garland named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith to be special counsel for two criminal investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Donald Trump. Interestingly, that was just three days after Trump had announced his plan to make another run for the White House in 2024. In June 2023, special counsel Smith hit Trump with a 37-count indictment relative to the Mar-a-Lago documents, and in July added three more counts. In an August indictment, Smith added four additional charges related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
