But not all such barons are equal. Nor are they all equally bad -- or good.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The title was not meant to be a compliment when it was first given to the Rockefellers and Carnegies of the late 19<span style="line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> century. Curiously, it has not been attached at all to today’s Big Tech barons. And yet they are worse, maybe even far worse, than their counterparts of long ago. This is true for many reasons, far from the least of which is that their impact has been to make this country less free. <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">All our barons have benefited from operating in a country grounded in political and economic freedom. But only our modern Big Tech barons have used their power to police, and yes, rob individuals of individual thoughts with one click, while producing herdlike thinking and behavior with another. In the process, they have also helped diminish America as a unique beacon of freedom in the world.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Today’s tech barons -- Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and the like -- are much more powerful, much more insidious, and much more dangerous than their counterparts of long ago. They are also just as willing as any Rockefeller to crush their competitors and just as committed as any Carnegie to controlling their workers.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">More than that, they are also willing to do the bidding of America’s enemies. Witness Apple’s kowtowing to the “request” of the Chinese communist regime that it shut down communication among Hong Kong anti-regime protesters.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">In this country, they seem far more interested in cooperating with one major political party than the other. Witness the Zuckerberg “investment” of hundreds of millions in the 2020 election, less to bolster American democracy than to assure a Democrat party victory.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">What to do, given the clout and predilections of our current robber barons? Ironically, maybe the best answer would be to reverse the course of action taken by the original progressives in their attempt to rein in the original robber barons</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">There is little doubt that those barons presented a serious challenge to our founding constitutional order of limited government and divided powers. In fact, so serious was this challenge that both major parties developed reform-minded progressive wings. And yet over the course of the past century, those bipartisan progressive reforms have played a major role in further upending that original constitutional order. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Our first progressive president, Theodore Roosevelt, was convinced that something had to be done about the “wealthy criminal class.” Despite his trust-busting reputation, TR’s real emphasis was on building up the state rather than on breaking down the trusts. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Good Darwinian that he was, Republican Roosevelt assumed that evolution toward bigness in business and government was both inevitable and ultimately beneficial. In addition, he presumed that a progressive federal bureaucracy would always be staffed and run by politically disinterested experts. Democrat President Woodrow Wilson essentially agreed, thereby giving the progressive agenda an additional bipartisan sheen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">While this presidential pair did not deny that the Constitution of 1787 may have been a good starting point for a new country, they were both convinced that the time had come to move beyond that ancient document.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Well, given the power and reach of today’s robber barons, coupled with the power and reach of a federal bureaucracy that often operates in tandem with them, it might be time to put that old Constitution to some newly vigorous use. The Founders would likely agree. While they believed in a limited (Jeffersonian) sphere for government, they also endorsed the “energetic” (Hamiltonian) use of government.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">If successfully applied, that constitutional energy could -- and should -- generate a great reversal, as opposed to any “Great Reset.” The eventual result might also be a great irony. How so? If the conduct of the original robber barons eventually led to big-government progressivism, the conduct of our modern robber barons could lead to the gradual reversal of the process that gave us an ever-expanding federal government in the first place.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Let’s first concede that both sets of robber barons have been innovators and builders, who have made life better in many ways for countless numbers of Americans. Nonetheless, the social and political costs that have accompanied our modern technological advances are no less real -- and have become much more immediately apparent -- than any environmental costs levied by the barons of long ago. Certainly, the negative impact of Big Tech on society, while subtle, is much greater and ultimately much more damaging than anything the original robber barons might have imagined -- or imposed. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The societal contagions that have been unleashed by Big Tech have been especially damaging among the young. Witness the current social contagion that is the transgender movement. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Finally, the revelations that have come from Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter have exposed the underside of the Rooseveltian vision of a politically neutral federal bureaucracy. Witness the now-revealed collusion between the FBI and Twitter to define and condemn what together they decided was “disinformation,” followed by Twitter acting to “de-platform” those deemed to be spreading it. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Only the very Constitution that the original progressives disdained is equipped to halt this juggernaut. With political will, plus executive and judicial support, Congress could reassert itself as the first branch of government, whether by ceasing to surrender its authority to the bureaucracy or by some meaningful trustbusting of Big Tech. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Bureaucracy busting should also take place. No longer remotely bipartisan, the federal bureaucracy has essentially become an arm of the Democrat party. Maybe it’s time to return to a partial version of the old spoils system. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Scrapping the FBI and starting over would be a good next step. Other bureaucracies should be scattered around the country. Disease-ridden with politics, the CDC could remain in Atlanta, so long as it is placed under strict quarantine.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Eliminating the Department of Education and returning schooling decisions to the states and local school boards should also occur. In sum, let’s revitalize localism. That should be a bipartisan goal, but it isn’t. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The ultimate goal would not be to restore the 18<span style="line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> century, but to revive the spirit of America. Such a revival surely makes more sense than continuing to centralize -- and politicize (in one direction only) -- virtually everything.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">That such a revival would also be a reversal <em>is</em> deliciously ironic. Really now, what could be more ironic than one day looking back and realizing that this reversal, this devolution, had been triggered by the actions of a new cadre of robber barons whose grasp for power and control far exceeded anything that the Rockefellers and Carnegies could have ever envisioned? </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Then again, perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that a different set of robber barons would provoke a different set of reforms. What <em>might</em> be surprising to the original progressives is that today’s reforms cannot possibly be bipartisan. After all, the problem today is not simply the existence of robber barons, but the link between our robber barons and one of our two major political parties.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Nonetheless, adding even more to the irony of it all is this: The power and influence of our modern robber barons is so great, and the possibility of a permanent one-party state is so real, that action must now be taken against not one, but two powerful forces, namely Big Tech and the federal bureaucracy that was initially called into being to counter robber barons far less daunting and far less damaging than the robber barons of today.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i><u>Comments</u></i></span></b></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 400;">Much more dangerous than 'robber barons' in days past, who only controlled segments of society.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 400;">Today's robber barons control how people THINK.

Like video footage recently released on January 6, showing judicial officials and members of Congress <a href="https://greene.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/greene.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/unusually%20cruel%20an%20eyewitness%20report%20from%20the%20dc%20jail.pdf" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">framing innocent Americans</a>, the Trump indictment shatters any illusions that the American judiciary still dispenses justice.<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">But we might suspend our indignation long enough to understand that this was allowed to happen because of similar injustices we have long permitted against ordinary Americans.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Even now, the political class of the right as well as the left say nothing about this and endeavor to cover it up. They throw up their hands at the Trump indictment and voice their astonishment "that such a thing can happen in America." And yet their own words reveal that it happens because they themselves protect it. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbsymC2lJr0" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Harmeet Dhillon</a>, a conservative "civil rights lawyer," says that "if they can do this to a former president, they can concoct false charges, without even articulating what the charges are, against any American for political reasons." No, Ms. Dhillon gets it backward. This is happening to Trump <em>because</em> it has <em>already</em> happened to many other Americans. She is covering up more than she is revealing: "It should really be terrifying to all Americans that this is the current state of the law in New York City." No again, not current law in New York. Similar and worse injustices reveal the state of the law <em>for decades throughout the United States</em>. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Likewise, the establishment right's favorite lawyer: "How does a judge get to take away the right of an American to speak out on their own behalf?" Sean Hannity asks Harvard professor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Dc43T96Ww" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Alan Dershowitz</a>. "Tragically, judges have done that," Dershowitz replies with chagrin. "They've done it recently." No, they do it, and much worse, all the time to ordinary Americans.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Dhillon and Dershowitz, and their patrons in conservative media, are spinning the injustice against Trump to make it look novel and exceptional when millions of Americans know that it is longstanding and routine. None of this would be happening — the entire <em>coup d'état </em>of the last three years would never have happened — if the conservative political class had paid as much attention to the judicial persecution of ordinary Americans as they now pay to their own interests.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><u><i>Injustice and Repression in America</i></u></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Injustices and outright repression in the American criminal justice system are real and serious. "Most Americans are unaware of the police state that is creeping up on us from many directions," wrote Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence Stratton 15 years ago in their <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tyranny-Good-Intentions-Prosecutors-Constitution/dp/0307396061" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">exposé of judicial abuse</a>. "Due process, the presumption of innocence ... the right to counsel ... and the ban on retroactive law" have all disappeared.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Feeding the world's largest prison gulag is a machine of systemic <i>injustice</i>. Law-abiding citizens are routinely harassed, plundered, dispossessed, ruined, incarcerated, and left homeless by a smorgasbord of judicial oppression: predatory lawsuits; the thievery of probate; rogue prosecutors who build their careers by railroading people into prison; knowingly false criminal charges and convictions; falsified and fabricated evidence; incarcerations without trial or record; mass confiscations of property; plea bargaining that amounts to extortion that has rendered the jury trial largely a thing of the past; neutered grand juries that do nothing to protect the innocent against unjust prosecutions; gag orders preventing citizens from proclaiming their innocence or publicizing judicial chicanery; family courts seizing control over the children and private lives of legally unimpeachable parents, whom they then incarcerate.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather;">In short, judicial functionaries not only ignore, but themselves violate the very protections they are charged with upholding, including the entire Bill of Rights. Roberts and Stratton call it a "career-driven conviction mill." It is the judicial apparatchiks, much more than their targets, who belong behind bars. </span><span style="font-family: Merriweather;">"At all levels of American society ... the idea that American courtrooms strive toward justice is no longer taken seriously," the Wall Street Journal </span><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB930174615931954464" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: Merriweather;">observed</a><span style="font-family: Merriweather;"> more than two decades ago. "The courts are greatly feared for their ability to ruin, but they aren't much respected anymore by the American people." Since then, the depredations have only become worse. Now they have culminated in a </span><em style="font-family: Merriweather;">coup </em><span style="font-family: Merriweather;">that has brought the extreme left to power.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The media likewise ignore it, both the left media and the right, decade after decade, with a blackout as serious as any today. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">These depredations will never be reformed by Republican politicians appointing "<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/12/26/trump_made_lasting_impact_on_federal_courts_144925.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">conservative</a>" judges. Though much of the chicanery takes place in state and local courts (where conservative Republican lawyers operate), it is protected by the federal courts. It is never scrutinized in judges' confirmation hearings by grandstanding Republican senators (lawyers) or conservative pressure groups (more lawyers). </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">"Congress is criminalizing everyday conduct at a reckless pace," writes Harvey Silverglate, and that is only the beginning. Many crimes are vague, and defined by political negotiations. Many are legislated not by elected representatives as statutes, but by civil servants as regulations. Others are effectively legislated by judges and, effectively, by prosecutors, and some even by enforcement agents. The politicization of prosecution and weakening of legal safeguards, such as blurring the distinction between civil and criminal offenses, vague statutes that "lack clear-cut definitions" of what is a crime and what is not, and eliminating the principle that a crime requires criminal intent — all this undermines constitutional protections and makes it easier to imprison the innocent. Criminal penalties are legislated for liability laws and regulatory non-compliance. More and more crimes are federal rather than local, contrary to the U.S. Constitution.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><i><u>Low-Hanging Fruit</u></i></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Ignored by almost everyone, the vast preponderance of the injustices are suffered by the poor, and especially that much-despised but central figure in today's American tragedy, the low-income African-American male. His degradation and emasculation by the <a href="https://chroniclesmagazine.org/view/the-sexual-left-the-welfare-state-and-the-divorce-revolution/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">welfare machinery</a> renders him the easiest and most vulnerable target of predatory judicial officials whose existence he justifies and the least likely to be defended by anyone, left or right. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">For him and other low-income defendants, American criminal courts are a nightmare underworld where young, poor, uneducated, mostly minority men are the victims of hideous injustices. They are coerced into plea bargains they cannot possibly understand, made in a matter of seconds during "mass plea hearings" in a system of "<a href="https://www.themarshallproject.org/2016/09/09/what-happens-when-there-s-only-one-public-defender" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">assembly line justice</a>." They then spend decades in prison, before being released on the streets where they constitute most of the homeless. Trials are so rare that they serve only to annoy judges and prosecutors. "A fair trial is considered an interruption."</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The standard excuse is that courts are "overburdened and under-resourced." But it is in the courts' self-interest to be overburdened, and they do everything they can to make sure their dockets are exploding with cases, since judicial salaries, like any other, increase with demand for their services. The courts are playing an old game of creating work for themselves. "The one great principle of the English law," wrote Charles Dickens, "is to make business for itself."

In the Middle Ages, this represented a breakthrough against romantic chivalry and the declining tradition of knighthood. It meant using means, some possibly comprehensive, without restraint to achieve an objective; this holds for warfare also. Even though Machiavelli was not the earliest source of "an ideology of going beyond limits" (China's Han Feizi preceded him) he was its clearest exponent.

Although the information warfare against Trump undoubtedly had an effect, the totality of the <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/elections-expert-seth-keshel-releases-national-fraud-numbers-finds-8-1-million-excess-votes-us-election-affirms-trump-won-pa-mi-wi-nv-az-ga-mn/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">evidence</a> and analysis already cited makes it clear that Trump overcame it to win at least five million more votes than Biden.

The victory was so large that corrupt election officials in the battleground states found it necessary to halt the counting in the middle of the night to allow for the injection of millions of fake votes. The enemies determined to defeat the United States in the Battle of the 2020 Election created (and probably flipped) enough votes to erase President Trump's victory.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The patriots at the Capitol on January 6 were there not to overthrow the election, but to defend it.

But now the tide is turning.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The accelerating criminal use of federal law enforcement and prosecutors for political intimidation makes it more obvious to Americans (along with the mountain of video, eyewitness, forensic, and statistical evidence) that the 2020 election was stolen on an industrial scale. After all, Biden's people continue to behave in the same brazen, criminal way as they did for a year before he was installed in the presidential office.

They have each called for Republican prosecutors to search state laws and bring the criminal law to bear on the domestic enemies of the United States. Speaking to the NRA on April 14, President Trump promised to bring 100 warriors United States attorneys into this struggle when he returns to the White House in 2025. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Victor Davis Hanson recently reminded us how vulnerable, in general, our enemies are, with 20 examples of <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2023/04/03/indict-one-and-all/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">perfidy</a>. Hanson is pointing to the tip of the iceberg. While Biden's team of outlaw prosecutors, federal and state, have to lie and file frivolous papers to persecute Americans, their cabal is exposed by its criminal acts to future criminal prosecution. It is unlikely that these people will be shown again the forbearance they received after the 2016 election.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Serious plans to put the Executive Branch under the control of the American people in 2025 are underway.

For a more manageable case study they would do well to look at the 2006 re-election campaign of then 10-term Pennsylvania Congressman Curt Weldon.

What Bush did not tell the 2,000 fire service workers was that his son’s DOJ, working closely with the media and IC, had just executed a coup on their leader that necessitated this “new chapter.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The Bushes, father and son, were either quiet participants in the coup or too weak to resist. I suspect the latter. Two months before the fire services dinner, they watched mutely as Vice-President Dick Cheney’s Chief-of-Staff, Scooter Libby, was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. Many of the same agents that took out Weldon also took out Libby on charges that were as flimsy as those Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg has levied against Trump. Whatever his state of knowledge, George W. Bush never had control of a Justice Department staffed to the teeth with Democrat activists.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">When I first met Weldon in July 2006, I had no clue about the forces aligned against him. Although a moderate Republican, Weldon had been impressively immoderate in his probe of deep state corruption. His 2005 book, <em>Countdown to Terror: The Top-Secret Information that Could Prevent the Next Terrorist Attack on America—and How the CIA Has Ignored It</em>, testified to his willingness to mix it up with Washington’s entrenched powers. In fact, Weldon left our meeting at his congressional office to review files on the Sandy Berger case.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The Berger case is the deep state’s Rosetta Stone, the key to deciphering its mysteries. In 2004, while reviewing files at the National Archives in preparation for the 9-11 Commission hearing, Berger, Bill Clinton’s national security advisor, stole highly classified documents, stored them under a construction trailer during a break, retrieved them at day’s end, admittedly cut them up, and threw the pieces away.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">On April 1, 2005, the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7351422" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">DOJ announced</a> its extraordinary plea deal with Berger—a $10,000 fine and a three-year suspension of his top-level security clearance. Long before Trump’s emergence, Democrats were playing by a radically different set of rules. At least three of the DOJ attorneys mishandling the Berger case were Democrat donors. One of them, Howard Sklamberg, executed the hit on Weldon. Orchestrating that hit, incredibly enough, was none other than Berger himself.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Weldon was not an easy target. Although his suburban Philadelphia district skewed slightly Democrat, Weldon had been winning re-election by comfortable margins in both good and bad Republican years. Berger set out to change that. In March 2006, less than a year after his plea deal, he hosted a fundraiser for the newly minted Democrat designated to replace Weldon, Joe Sestak. A vice admiral who served on Bill Clinton’s national security council, Sestak had not lived in Weldon’s district for thirty years.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Berger also volunteered the Director of Communications at his firm, Stonebridge International, to serve as Sestak<span dir="RTL">’</span>s campaign spokesperson.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Contributing to that campaign were all the usual suspects: Tony Lake, Clinton’s national security advisor before Berger; Richard Clarke, Clinton’s anti-terror honcho; Mary O. McCarthy, fired from the CIA for allegedly leaking secret information about overseas prisons to the Washington Post; and John Deutch, the Central Intelligence Director pardoned on Clinton<span dir="RTL">’</span>s last day after agreeing to a plea deal for mishandling classified documents. Sestak was one of two congressional candidates Deutch donated to in 2006. The other four donors, Berger included, made their <em>only</em> federal contribution in 2006 to Sestak.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">If the national media chose not to see, the local media understood the rationale for the support of Sestak by Berger and friends. <span dir="RTL">“</span>A Sestak victory,” reported the suburban Delco Times, <span dir="RTL">“</span>would muzzle a Republican congressman who blames Clinton for doing irreparable harm to America<span dir="RTL">’</span>s national security during the 1990s.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Clinton was in on the game as well. In late September 2006 he submitted to an interview on FOX News with Chris Wallace. Unprompted, Clinton told Wallace, <span dir="RTL">“</span>A three-star admiral, who was on my National Security Council staff, who also fought terror, by the way, is running for the seat of Curt Weldon in Pennsylvania.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Clinton did not mention Sestak by name. He may not have remembered it. Nor did he note that Sestak had been reduced to two-star rank, which likely accounted for his availability. Clinton used the interview to target Weldon, the only Republican mentioned in his interview other than President George W. Bush.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Despite Clinton’s support, Weldon held a 7-point lead heading down the home stretch. Then in mid-October, three weeks before the election, the conspirators got to work. The three-front attack began with a DOJ leak <a href="https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2006/10/13/257148/-" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">to the media</a>, published widely on Friday, October 13. Readers were told that Weldon <span dir="RTL">“</span>traded his political influence for lucrative lobbying and consulting contracts for his daughter.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span dir="RTL">“</span>The article that was spoon fed to the scumbag Bloomberg reporter by two anonymous sources was full of deliberate lies,” Weldon tells me. <span dir="RTL">“</span>My daughter was never a lobbyist.” On Monday, October 16, the DOJ called in the FBI. Citing the need to act swiftly now that the news of the DOJ investigation had been leaked, the FBI “searched four homes and other locations in the vicinity of Philadelphia and two other sites near Jacksonville, Fla., as the part of the inquiry.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/16/washington/17weldoncnd.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">New York Times</a> was reporting the above on the day it happened. By noon of that same day, Democrat operatives had assembled a group of 20 or so rank and file and had given them matching signs that read, "Caught Red-Handed.” Weldon claims to have evidence that the DOJ informed Sestak<span dir="RTL">’</span>s people three weeks before the raid, allowing them to adjust their ad buys and plan their response.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">With the Bush family, it is hard to know whether they were conspirators or too compromised to push back, likely the latter. In any case, says Weldon, the George H.W. Bush tribute took place “just 5 months after Sklamberg conducted the raids on my daughter’s home and [he] NEVER talked to her - nothing! Attorney John Gallagher was issued a personal apology several days after they raided his office.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The raid was never about justice. It was about optics. There was no need for the DOJ to follow up. Weldon had been bloodied. The mission had been accomplished. And on a Tuesday three weeks after the raid, the election had been <span dir="RTL">“</span>won.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></b></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i>Z*Z*Z<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/04/dojmediaintel_election_interference_predates_trump.html" target="_blank"> <u>Source:</u></a></i></span></b><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span></p><div><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b>Knowledge Is Power: <a href="https://observernew.blogspot.com/">The New Realistic Observer</a> is a non-profit blog dedicated to bringing as much truth as possible to the readers.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Please share… Like many other fact-oriented bloggers, we've been exiled from Facebook as well as other "mainstream" social sites.</span></b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span><br /><b><i style="background-color: #ffe599;">Big Tech has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers' newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources.

Over a year, about 12% of all people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depression were violent, compared with 2% of people without a mental disorder or a substance abuse problem. The rate of violence fell to 7% when only considering people with those mental illnesses who did not have a substance abuse problem.

He said that in many cases, the mental illness classification was based on media reports or police records, making it hard to know if those determinations were accurate.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“Deducing the presence of paranoia or other delusional thinking from a newspaper report, particularly in a situation where there’s a presumption that ‘he must be crazy,’ seems pretty dicey to me,” he said.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">McGinty, too, is skeptical. “I view them as invalid and very problematic in terms of the message they send,” she said of the descriptive studies. She also pointed out that accurate data on mental health symptoms in many cases is impossible to obtain because many perpetrators kill themselves. That means many of the assessments rely on talking to family members or coworkers after the fact, and there can be “huge amounts of measurement error,” she said. </span>There can be after-the-fact rationalization at play as well.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Secondly, she explained that the studies can confuse correlation with causation. In other words, if someone is found to have had symptoms of mental illness, it’s often assumed that mental illness caused the mass shooting. Mental illness might have contributed, or it might not have had anything to do with it — in many cases, McGinty said, people with mental illnesses also have other factors that are more strongly associated with violence, such as anger issues, substance abuse or a history of traumatic events. It’s a “complicated epidemiological relationship,” McGinty said.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Some of these caveats are noted by the reports themselves. The <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/pre-attack-behaviors-of-active-shooters-in-us-2000-2013.pdf/view" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">FBI </a></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">report</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">, for example, is careful to explain that a mental health “stressor” is not the same as having a diagnosis of a mental illness. </span>The report notes that many Americans struggle with mental illness at some point in their lifetimes — 46% according to one study — and cautions against coming to the simplistic conclusion that mental illness was the motivating cause of a shooting.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> “[A]bsent specific evidence, careful consideration should be given to social and contextual factors that might interact with any mental health issue before concluding that an active shooting was ‘caused’ by mental illness,” the report says, before adding, “declarations that all active shooters must simply be mentally ill are misleading and unhelpful.”</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">It’s clear from the governmental reports, too, that even taking the data about mental health at face value still leaves many aspects of the mass attacks unexplained. The Secret Service </span><a href="https://www.secretservice.gov/data/press/reports/USSS_FY2019_MAPS.pdf" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">reported</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> that around half of mass attacks in 2017 and 2018 appeared to be motivated by grievances, or perceived wrongs, related to home, work or another personal sphere. Grievances were more commonly cited than any other motive, including mental illness — which the agency said was a motivating factor in 14% of incidents in 2017 and 19% in 2018. Other motivating factors included ideology, such as white supremacy and anti-Semitism, and an attempt to achieve fame.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“There are countless factors that pull the trigger,” said Vanderbilt psychiatrist and gun violence researcher </span><a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/mhs/faculty/jonathan-m-metzl/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Jonathan Metzl</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">. Even if mental illness is involved, so too may be past history, racism and misogyny, among others. “To isolate it to just one thing is factually incorrect,” he said.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“Mass murders occur for many reasons and often multiple reasons: jealousy, extreme anger, political beliefs, revenge, and others, mediated by the effects of alcohol and drugs, poor impulse inhibition, social messaging, and other factors,” added Appelbaum. “Mental illness will sometimes be in that mix, but even when it is, experts will have difficulty assessing the role that it played.”</span></span></p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Mental Illness vs. Mental Wellness</span></h2><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Despite the evidence that indicates mental illness is not the primary driver of mass shootings, the notion that mental illness must have been at play in these types of events remains common. After all, how could someone who is mentally healthy have perpetrated such a horrific crime?</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">But experts say that kind of logic is flawed. “No one who commits a violent act is mentally well,” said McGinty. But that doesn’t mean that the person meets the criteria for a mental illness or that treatment would have eliminated that person’s violent act. “We have to draw a distinction between mental illness — diagnosable and treatable mental illness — and mental wellness,” she said.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">In McGinty’s view, this doesn’t rule out the need for potential interventions such as anger management classes for disturbed individuals without mental illnesses, but she considers that outside the purview of the medical mental health system. “Improving the mental health system is a really important goal,” she said, but “it’s not going to make a significant dent in mass shootings or interpersonal violence writ large.”</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">When it comes to policies to prevent gun violence, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4211925/#sec9title" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">many</a> <a href="https://www.thenationalcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Mass-Violence-in-America_8-6-19.pdf" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">experts</a> recommend focusing on concerning behavior rather than a diagnosis per se.

Even the smaller portion of those who qualify as having a serious mental illness — <a href="https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/what-is-mental-illness" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">often</a> schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder — is still large, applying to 11.4 million people, or 4.6% of the population.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“The very strongest research evidence shows the best predictor of a person being violent in the future is prior violent behavior,” McGinty said. One evidence-based policy, she says, is an extreme risk protection order, or a so-called “red flag” law, which allows a judge to temporarily remove a person’s firearms if he or she exhibits dangerous behavior.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></strong></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Appelbaum also backed policies that limit access to guns. “People ultimately pull the trigger, and people are complicated composites of a large number of cognitions, emotions, and motivations,” he said. “But it’s important to remember that if there’s no trigger to pull, it’s much less likely that large numbers of people will die.”</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Update, May 31, 2022: Nearly nine months after the El Paso attack, <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/business/el-paso-shooting-victim-dies-months-later-death-toll-now-23/" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">another person died</a>, bringing the death toll from the mass shooting to 23. </span></em></p><h5 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: Merriweather, serif; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sources</span></h5><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“</span><a href="https://www.trumpwhitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-mass-shootings-texas-ohio/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a5a8e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Remarks by President Trump on the Mass Shootings in Texas and Ohio</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">.” White House. 5 Aug 2019.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Gaytan, Samuel, et. al. “</span><a href="https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/crime/2019/08/03/el-paso-police-report-shooter-walmart-cielo-vista-mall/1910012001/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a5a8e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">El Paso shooting updates: 22 killed in El Paso Walmart shooting near Cielo Vista Mall</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">.” El Paso Times. 3 Aug 2019, updated 5 Aug 2019.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">De La Garza, Alejandro and Michael Zennie. “</span><a href="https://time.com/5643405/what-to-know-shooting-dayton-ohio/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a5a8e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Dayton Shooting Lasted Just 32 Seconds and Left 9 Dead.

In reality, there was but it was perpetrated by the Democrats, not the Trump supporters. Tucker Carlson aired some of the damning videos proving the accusations made by Pelosi was 100% wrong and that she framed the people that are in jail and have been for over two years.

Look at Hillary Clinton. She was subpoenaed for 33,000 emails and then deleted them, smashed her phones, ‘bleach bit’ her hard drives, and used an unsecured server for her emails as Secretary of State and is still breathing free air. Nobody has knocked on her door down at 5:30 in the morning and confiscated all her electronic devices, and paid for the Russian dossier which is aiding the foreign influence of an election. This is just scraping the surface of her illegal and unconstitutional actions but Trump is the one Congress goes after, again. Nancy Pelosi has been involved in insider trading for decades but that has been completely ignored, unlike Martha Stuart’s so-called insider trading which got her a five-month sentence behind bars. Pelosi, however, had a net worth in 2008 of approximately $30 million, By 2021 she was worth $171 million.

Freedom to work at what you want to work at is not in the Democrat’s game plan. They have adopted the World Economic Forum’s ideology of your work at what the government tells you to work at.

This is a typical socialist/communist style of governing where the government tells you what you can do. The problem is WE tell the government what it can do and I don’t remember telling them they can do that. This administration has plans to ban almost all guns. Handguns, long guns, and even some hunting guns. They don’t understand the phrase ‘shall not be infringed’. The State of Colorado has an unconstitutional Red Flag Law that almost all of the sheriffs in the State won’t enforce and now the Democrats are trying to expand it so that anyone who knows of someone that <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">might</em></span> be dangerous and you don’t report him, you go to jail. Shades of 1930s Germany.

Even though Biden shut down all the programs that made us energy independent, and pulled hundreds of drilling leases, he blamed the rise in gas prices on Putin. He thinks we all have the mentality of the voters that ‘put him in office.’ Alejandro Mayorkas has stated several times that our southern border is closed yet we are on track to see the most illegals ever in a single year bypassing last year which set a record and bypassed the year before that. We are witnessing the planned destruction of the greatest nation in the world. We can be prosperous and have a strong economy, low unemployment, and have prosperity for all, Trump proved that, but Democrats don’t want that. They want to create a situation where the people demand the government take over everything to ‘solve the problem’. The only problem with that is the government is causing the problem just like they caused the 2008 market crash, the 1920 market crash, and the 1989 market crash. Reagan told us that government isn’t the solution to the problem, government is the problem.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">They’re attempting to make everybody live in an eight-year-old world of make-believe where a man can think he’s a woman and we have to embrace that lunacy. This administration is full of people who are so confused that they don’t know what their gender is and even a female Supreme Court Justice can’t define a woman! They are insane. Period. They run around like chickens little screaming about climate change when there is no evidence of it. Even NOAH has stated that we are in about year 16 where the planet has not warmed, You want proof? Obama bought an $11.7 million 30-acre beachfront property in Martha’s Vineyard,[3] Al Gore just bought an $8.875 million villa with an ocean view in Montecito, CA.[4] Obama has an $8.7 million beachfront property in Hawaii.[5] Who in their right mind believes the ice caps are melting and all beachfront will soon be underwater would spend almost $20 million on property they will have to scuba dive to get to?</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">The elites are lying about almost everything. They are creating the problems we are experiencing. If we do not change the people we have allowed to be in charge, the great American experiment will be over. Reagan said it is no more than one generation away from being lost. If we don’t fight for it our children won’t have a country to fight for. You can vote your way into socialism/communism but you will have to shoot your way out. Without God’s intervention we won’t turn this ship around. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. The time has come for us to humble ourselves and cry out to God.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next.” – Abraham Lincoln</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Let [the Constitution] be taught in schools, seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, in spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, enforced in courts of justice.

Neither is capable of running anything, which is why they were installed here in the USA, the same way Zelensky was installed in Ukraine by the same people.

He’s also not stupid or crazy, like our current leaders in the USA. He has no intention of making Ukraine part of Russia. Putin is at war with the USA in Ukraine, and the USA surrogates NATO, the UN, and WEF. Putin is not a conqueror, he’s a “Russia First” leader of a sovereign country under attack from the USA and the Global Reset cabal. Russia isn’t the Soviet Union anymore. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-vows-ban-assault-weapons-come-hell-high-water" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;">The O’Biden Regine governs like a cold war communist dictatorship</a>, not Putin.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">FACT #2</span> – The war in Ukraine was set in motion when the Obama Regime toppled the legitimate government of Ukraine in 2014 and installed their interim puppet, later installing Obama puppet, Zelensky, a mere comedic actor until now, and not even any good at that.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">FACT #3</span> – Ukraine is one of many countries that have had their governments toppled via <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/03/18/why-the-color-revolutions-failed/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;">“Colour Revolutions”</a> ignited, funded, and commanded by the Obama Regime, which installed political puppets for Obama between 2009-2017 in every case. In each case, Obama toppled governments in Moldova, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Macedonia, and attempted Syria. Not one of them has become a legitimate democratic country since. They are all as thick with authoritarian corrupt governments as they were before the Obama-led “uprisings.” Now Obama & Co. is focused on Russia and the USA, in an all-for-one grand final takedown!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">FACT #4</span> – The greatest threat to USA sovereignty, security, freedom, liberty, and justice is our own unconstitutional Federal Government. Not that long ago, I would have said it was the Marxists in the USA who, like Obama, Bill Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn, set out decades ago to “fundamentally transform America.” The same people are 100% responsible for the war in Ukraine and the World War they are igniting today.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">In case you haven’t noticed, they have even coopted fake conservatives like Fox News hosts and “the great one” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KImVyrFghrQ" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;">Mark Levin</a> to rant and rave on how “every American must support the coming World War” that nobody is going to win.

Americans are likely way too late and still doing far too little to alter the course of history. Our government has also created total division in our country, pitting Americans against Americans over a laundry list of divisive issues designed to make it impossible for Americans to ever stand together against our totally unconstitutional criminal cabal in DC. But that’s not all…</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The level of total corruption in our government elites is off the charts. What started in the 60s as a Marxist revolution in the USA, now consumes every Federal Branch and Agency of our Federal government, along with numerous State governments. The O’Biden Regime governs like a pure communist dictatorship now, with stumbling-bumbling <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-vows-ban-assault-weapons-come-hell-high-water" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;">Joe reading unconstitutional edicts from his teleprompter</a> as if he’s Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Meanwhile, massive evidence of incredible global crime and corruption by political figures in DC and beyond is beginning to break through the all-consuming media blackout on how our country has been stolen from the people and bankrupted…our Military and National Security system almost entirely dismantled, and demolished, and global enemies of freedom and liberty erected for a Klaus Schwab Global Reset, all paid for by American taxpayers.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Because the truth is beginning to reach daylight, the O’Biden Regime will force us into a World War, in an effort to “unite” Americans against foreign threats that these treasonous bastards created, in order to prevent the American people from ever uniting against them.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">In just the past 25 months, the O’Biden Regime has demolished everything. We have record high inflation, skyrocketing interest rates, complete supply line shortages, massive “non-employment” with the smallest percentage of Americans participating in the workforce ever, a record foreign invasion at our borders, violent crime, and property damage at an all-time high, record drug addiction, and deaths, murder and suicide rates at record levels, the economy in the tank and headed for the toilet, the depletion of our energy supply along with utter destruction of our medical system, and…WWIII on the brink.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">To suggest that the O’Biden Regime has not been entirely successful is to turn a blind eye to what they have done. They have accomplished more to destroy America in the past 25 months than all foreign enemies have been able to accomplish in the past 250 years. They are hugely successful if you understand their purpose and intent.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Because of the truth about record crime and corruption in our government, the election fraud of 2020 and 2022, the bioweapon attack labeled COVID-19, and the death sentence of the so-called “vaccines” will soon reach broad daylight, the O’Biden Regime has to make it all go away by starting a World War. If they don’t, the American people will soon rise up to remove countless political criminals guilty of treason from power.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The only way they can prevent the American people from uniting against them is to unite the American people against someone else, in this case, Putin or their Global Reset train will derail very soon.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">For this reason, I do not see a way to avoid what’s speeding toward us today. It was all designed and put in motion long ago. By the time a majority of Americans figure it all out, they will no longer have the means to defend themselves, much less take down the enemies within.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">I don’t say these things lightly. In fact, once again, I sincerely hope I’m wrong.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">But the hour is near now, and we will soon know. I suggest that every American prepare for the worst, and pray for the best. We have seen the run-up to war before, we can smell it in the air. But the world has never seen the size and magnitude of what’s coming. We should have put this down a long time ago.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Going along to get along brought us all here.

They listened politely, but as usual, will do nothing to secure our southern border when millions of deadly drugs cross over 24/7. Last year, over 100,000 drug overdose deaths…, and in 2021, 110,000 drug overdose deaths.<span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">She said, “If you had 100,000 Chinese soldiers at our southern border with 100,000 rifles ready to kill 100,000 Americans, I bet you would do something to stop them…but instead, you’re helping kill 100,000 Americans with drugs that are being invited over the border by our own president. If this isn’t corruption or incompetence at the highest levels in Washington DC, I don’t know what is.” (Source: Tucker Carlson interview, March 1, 2023)</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Right now, in the streets of America in all our big cities, the homeless use their food stamps money to buy drugs. In that program, Carlson interviewed a homeless man who spelled out how the homeless buy their drugs. He said, “When you pay for bad behavior, you get more bad behavior…we’ll never solve the drug crisis with easy access coming over our borders.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">As I sat in my chair watching the program, it wrenched my guts to think that President Biden supports, facilitates, encourages, and condones the massive amount of drugs pouring into our country. He’s either too stupid, too inept, too callous, or simply suffering from too much dementia to understand what’s going on in America’s cities.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">When you multiply 100,000 Americans who died from a preventable cause, it turns your guts inside out. That’s 100,000 parents who lost their kids to drugs. That’s a total of 200,000 mothers and fathers crying, sobbing, and suffering at their kids’ funerals. That’s another 100,000 people who lost a friend. The numbers are staggering as to the amount of misery our own President Biden and/or his handlers are importing into America.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">When Carlson asked the mother if she felt that her testimony would do any good, she said, “What’s changed since the 110,000 deaths in 2021?”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">I know that my two Colorado U.S. Senators, Hickenlooper, and Bennet, haven’t, and won’t do anything to stop the drugs from killing our families. Why? Because they are pro-open borders. Same with Governor Jared Polis! Same with Mayor Hancock of Denver. All of them are useless, corrupt, and meaningless in carrying out their sworn duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution. They violate their oaths of office…and don’t care.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">One of Carlson’s guests talked about solving the problems by moving the 70,000 homeless in LA, or 65,000 homeless in Chicago, or the 50,000 homeless in NYC, or the 10,000 homeless in Denver—-into apartment buildings. Bring medical care and mental care. Move them into jobs.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">But what does Biden and/or his handlers do? He gave Ukraine $110,000,000,000.00 to fight a war that is none of our business. That’s painful because we already wasted $6 trillion in 20 years in Afghanistan and Iraq.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">And, Jill Biden wants her husband to run for the presidency in 2024. The man is a walking cadaver. He cannot complete a sentence without a teleprompter. He says some really weird things to audiences when off the teleprompter…such as having a registered nurse “whisper in my ear.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">We must be the laughingstock of the world every time Biden opens his mouth. He’s sniffed little girls’ hair for 50 years in front of the public, and now, he’s telling us about a nurse, “…whispering in my ear.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">One U.S. Senator said, “It’s time for us to enact the 25<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">th</sup> Amendment.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The burning question for this journalist remains: what in the hell is going on in Washington DC? Why is everyone silent when the “Elephant in the Room” is a president with Alzheimer’s Disease…but everyone stands by in silence? Biden needs to take a “cognitive test” to determine if he even knows what day of the week it is or what year this is….”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">In reality, everyone is waiting for him to keel over dead, or suffer a heart attack or a stroke. But in the meantime, he’s taking this country apart by not serving the American people. Historians will write that this is America’s dumbest hour and that this president is the worst in American history because he was incapable of serving the American people.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i>Z*Z*Z <u><a href="https://newswithviews.com/our-completely-decrepit-incompetent-president/" target="_blank">Source:</a></u></i></span></b><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span></p><div><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b>Knowledge Is Power: <a href="https://observernew.blogspot.com/">The New Realistic Observer</a> is a non-profit blog dedicated to bringing as much truth as possible to the readers.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Please share… Like many other fact-oriented bloggers, we've been exiled from Facebook as well as other "mainstream" social sites.</span></b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span><br /><b><i style="background-color: #ffe599;">Big Tech has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers' newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources.

If it ever was common, it seems to be mostly gone now. Today’s self-anointed pharisees, rather than employ common sense to foster the needs of the people, do everything they can to counter it, mostly for their own needs and agenda, regardless of the negative impacts it may have on society as a whole.<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Of course, common sense is tied to logic and, despite <a href="https://gop.com/video/cringe-1-minute-of-kamala-harris-explaining-venn-diagrams/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Kamala’s obsession with Venn diagrams</a>, many people today are like the person described in C.S. Lewis’s classic, <em>The Screwtape Letters</em>: “Your man is accustomed to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head.” The way the self-anointed get around common sense is to convince themselves that their ideology is better and more important than reality. Again, as Screwtape notes, “Everything has to be twisted before it’s any use to us.” Now their problem is merely to convince the rest of us, and they do this by obfuscation, misreporting, actually failing to report key information, or outright lying.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">And so, we get the twisted excuse from Bill Gates (and other elites) that, because he is such an advocate for green policies, all his <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/09/bill-gates-defends-private-jet-habit-despite-climate-activism/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">private airplane flights are okay</a>. If such lame excuses don’t work, they’ll find some way to blame someone or something else for the failure of their ideology to produce the promised benefits.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">We see this kind of argument when it comes to the elite’s mantra of “tax the rich” and make them pay “their fair share.” They claimed Trump’s tax cuts only benefited the rich and would reduce federal receipts. In actuality, <a href="https://www.heritage.org/taxes/commentary/the-numbers-are-trumps-tax-cuts-paid" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">receipts from taxes went up</a> as a result of Trump’s tax policy. As for fair share, for decades the percentages have remained fairly constant with the top 10% of earners paying about 90% of the taxes. Similarly, the gap between the rich and the poor always seems to widen during Democrat administrations, with the rich getting richer.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Another case of suppressing common sense is the push toward green energy policies. Almost anyone (with common sense) could see that neither the country nor the technology was ready for a massive leap to green energy while at the same time just dumping existing viable energy sources (e.g., fossil fuels). Common sense tells us that make such a drastic leap into “renewable” energy while, at the same time, drastically cutting development of existing reliable resources would be fraught with danger, especially without having either a viable transition plan or a contingency plan for when things don’t go as expected. Yet, that is what this administration did, blindly cutting off or cutting back on fossil fuels, neglecting to develop nuclear energy plants, and driving people to electric vehicles whose technology is not mature, nor is the grid prepared to support them. At the same time, no plans were made for adverse conditions and so, in Scotland, for example, they are <a href="https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2023/02/06/dozens-of-giant-turbines-at-scots-windfarms-powered-by-diesel-generators/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">using diesel generators</a> to keep wind turbines warm so they can function in the cold weather; and the turbines don’t make up for the fuel being used.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Supposedly the driver behind “going green” is to save the planet yet obtaining the resources to support electric cars (e.g., batteries) is more destructive to environments than the energy saved. Wind turbines kill thousands of birds (as do </span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">solar panels), are reportedly having adverse </span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><img alt="" src="https://www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2023-02/244215_5_.jpg" style="border: 0px; float: right; height: 338px; margin: 5px; max-width: 100%; width: 450px;" /><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">effects on fishing grounds in offshore installations (and the noise drives fish away), and their materials are neither recyclable nor biodegradable. Manufacturers of electric vehicles warn their owners not to use such amenities as heaters in very cold weather. They also have limited range and have lengthy recharging times. The mantra of buying an electric vehicle to avoid gas prices is also false as the cost to fill up and the cost to recharge are comparable.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">And the idea that top-down government planning will be successful is also a denial of common sense. Show me a country that prospered with this philosophy. Soviet Russia was a huge failure. So is China. The way China has advanced of late is by its reacting to market pressures and opportunities. Most of what China produces are things that were invented or developed elsewhere, mostly in the free market innovation once permitted here in the U.S. Their success has been in being able to produce it easier and cheaper. Look what has happened when we tried top-down directed development by pushing such industries as <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-solyndra/u-s-solar-firm-solyndra-files-for-bankruptcy-idUSTRE77U5K420110906" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Solyndra, which went bankrupt</a> in less than a year on a government investment of half a billion dollars -- taxpayers’ money.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">This is not to say that government-funded research is not valuable; it is. However, directing research to support a political position does not work, as opposed to research that would meet some identified need (with a good definition of requirements). Many military research projects have been successful in this way and have actually benefited society in general (think microwave ovens and plastic wrap).</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Logic drives common sense and, despite Kamala’s obsession with Venn diagrams, most of the programs of this administration are decidedly illogical. One thing this administration has excelled at, however, is to show the failure of diversity and inclusion when choosing people for important decisions. The only equity of outcomes by selecting a gay transportation secretary, gay black woman for press secretary, and a non-binary activist as a Department of Energy official overseeing spent nuclear material has been abject failure on all counts. Logic would dictate the release of them from their positions and prohibition of federal employment but only one has been fired (and that the least influential of them)</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Despite the failure of the woke philosophy in government, the administration continues to push CRT and the woke agenda on the country and, of most concern, the military. It is obvious that this administration sees no value in merit and merit is most important in combat.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Can this situation be reversed? Only by going back to the basics: the basics of the <a href="https://priceoflibertyeternaly.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html#.Y_QcwnbMLIU" target="_blank">Constitution</a>, the non-politicizing of science (when science becomes political, it ceases to be science), teaching critical thinking, actually teaching rather than grooming and indoctrination, the truth, and dare I say it, returning to God.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Our national motto is <b>“One Nation Under God.”</b> The Declaration of Independence cited God (our Creator) when delineating unalienable rights, and our Pledge of Allegiance also calls out God for our guide. The removal of God and the war against religion, Christianity in particular, has only brought anarchy and unhappiness. Organizations like Pew Research continue to show that religious people are happier and better adjusted than the non-religious. However, since faith might hold an out-of-control government in check, it has to be suppressed and even attacked outright, as was done during the COVID lockdowns when churches were closed while abortion facilities (I refuse to call them clinics as their business is murder rather than healing), bars, and strip clubs remained open.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Seek the truth and you will find God. “For where I found truth, there found I my God, who is truth itself.” St. Augustine, <em>Confessions</em></span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i>Comments:</i></span></b></span></span></span></span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, "segoe ui", sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">”…dare I say it, returning to God.”</i><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, "segoe ui", sans-serif; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, "segoe ui", sans-serif; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: -apple-system, "segoe ui", sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">It was 2023 years ago… And our ancestors decided to tell time forevermore by the history-confirming life, death and resurrection of God’s own Son.

I guarantee that all who read this paper can do their duty to resist actions even under the “Color of Law”, and if you are harmed, it will be because we are already in a Civil War!<span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Face it, most people are victims of a very effective Communist education system and a Communist media (modeled after Adolf Hitler), controlled by Enemies of the People. Pity these victims who are ignorant of simple Economic and Constitutional facts. They will remain ignorant and loyal Communists until faced with starvation. Lenin called them his “Useful Idiots”; who else would support their own destruction?</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Most people only have a vague idea of their true Enemy’s identity. The Enemy of the people in the United States and indeed the world is the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC), the wealthy families who control the ‘woke’ corporations that bribe our government officials in both parties. Since 2020, the top 1% got two-thirds of all new wealth. Their motto for the rest of us is that “You will own nothing and be happy.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Before you can RESIST Unconstitutional laws, Administrative Laws, and Presidential Executive Orders you must understand their Jurisdiction…or lack of it.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">1. Administrative laws and regulations are written by un-elected bureaucrats with no authority to enact legislation. Books are written on abuses of the “Administrative State” which is responsible for much of our sad state of affairs.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">2. Presidential Executive Orders are binding on federal employees while on the job. Executive orders have no authority over citizens in the states. Executive orders do have power over people residing in DC, property owned by the government, and the possessions and territories of the United States. Executive orders must in all cases comply with the Constitution (most don’t).</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">3. Constitutional Laws in the states are THOSE FEW enacted by the legislature and signed by the president that is Constitutionally authorized by the “Enumerated Powers”. Simply stated these are Foreign Relations, Defense, Immigration, Commerce, Post Office, Census, Courts, The Mint, Patents, Copyrights, etc. Unless you are counterfeiting or an illegal Invader, it is hard to see many citizens violating federal laws that are Constitutional. You can’t question the legality of these enumerated departments.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">4. Unconstitutional laws in the states are passed by the legislature and signed by the president but do not comply with the “Enumerated Powers” so they have no legitimate authority in the states. But they do have authority in DC, possessions, and property owned by the federal government. A majority of our laws are unconstitutional having no legitimate jurisdiction in the states. Many of these laws are unconstitutional usurpations of state powers to concentrate theft and money laundering in Washington.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!</span></b> Many Americans have been prosecuted, are in prison, or lost everything for violating a “law” that is not a law. We can never forget the political prisoners of January 6th who were denied all Constitutionally-protected rights and framed by the FBI. The FBI does only two things well: the framing of citizens and public relations. The FBI must be abolished because it will be impossible to have a Constitutional Republic as long as they exist.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The most corrupt and despicable people in the country are our legislators who pass one unconstitutional law after the other to impoverish citizens and use our money to enrich the Military Industrial Complex with no-win wars for profit while killing millions of innocent people. Our state Governors are just as corrupt because they allow the federal government to usurp state powers for profit.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">I want to make this clear. I am not advocating the use of force against faux government authority even when it acts <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">“Under the Color of Law</span></b>”. I am a firm advocate of peaceful resistance as the best way to overwhelm the faux government so it can’t persecute us as it is now doing. I also strongly believe that failure to <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">RESIST</span></b> will lead to Civil War, for I have no faith in the court system and even less in the election process.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Many people, mostly women, both religious and not, do not believe in self-defense with firearms, even knowing that for most people, effective police protection does not exist. They don’t even realize that “gun-free zones” are killing fields! I want to quote the following for these future victims:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b>Luke 22:35-39</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">King James Version</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">35 And he said unto them When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything?

They live in a ‘utopia’ that doesn’t exist. This does not directly relate to the subject matter of this article, but it was too important to ignore.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Paul Engel recently reported in news with views that there were 108 federal agencies operating in the states, with only 12 of them authorized by the Constitution and another 15 that may be Constitutional. This is where it becomes obvious that most federal agencies and their related edicts are unconstitutional usurpations of state powers!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Here are some obvious Unconstitutional Agencies for which you could have conflicts.

Sarah Sanders delivered the GOP rebuttal to President Biden’s second Tuesday, calling for a “new generation of Republican leadership” and describing the choice between Democrats and Republicans as a choice “between normal or crazy.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“Being a mom to three young children taught me not to believe every story I hear. So, forgive me for not believing much of anything I heard tonight from President Biden. From out-of-control inflation and violent crime to the dangerous border crisis and threat from China, Biden and the Democrats have failed you,” Sanders said.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“It’s time for a change. Tonight, let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless American idea: that government exists not to rule the people, but to serve the people. Democrats want to rule us with more government control, but that is not who we are,” she added.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Sanders noted that she and Biden didn’t have a lot in common because she is “for freedom” and he’s “for government control,” and went on to note the four decades difference in their ages.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“At 40, I’m the youngest governor in the country. At 80, he’s the oldest president in American history. I’m the first woman to lead my state. He’s the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is,” she said.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">“In the radical left’s America, Washington taxes you and lights your hard-earned money on fire, but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves, and our children are taught to hate one another on account of their race, but not to love one another or our great country,” she added.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">After traveling across America for the past two summers coast to coast, I witnessed what Governor Sanders said.

The most secure border in history. Cheap abundant, home-grown energy. Fast-rising wages. A rebuilt military. And a world that was stable and at peace. But over the last two years, Democrats destroyed it all,” Sanders said. “Despite Democrats’ trillions in reckless spending and mountains of debt, we now have the worst border crisis in American history.”</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Obviously, Biden cares little for our children.

He’s made America much worse and our citizens much worse in the past 25 months.

The <a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/the-inconvenient-truth-about-the-democratic-party" target="_blank">Democrat coalition</a> in fact has gone about creating majorities of individuals who have arrived on our shores by legal means.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Lippincott opines that without legal immigration as practiced today and for the last half-century, we would not be in the decline we face today. Thinking that merely restricting immigration to what we term 'legal' will ensure the maintenance of good old-fashioned American values is folly. He believes that the vision of the right is a 'pipe dream wired to a pipe bomb.' Our Constitution has been more undermined by legal immigration than it has been by illegal immigration. The <a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/rapper-pitbull-warns-about-communism-in-america" target="_blank">communist left</a> has seized this opportunity to manipulate demographics to their great advantage.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Lippincott describes the American communists (the left) as being similar in thrust and direction to their old Soviet forebears, but instead of dividing the population into warring haves and have-nots, they choose to divide by race.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Our <a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/educator-kali-fontanilla-spills-the-truth-about-education" target="_blank">educational institutions</a> have become this new communism's 'Red Guard.' They continually call out the exploitative white patriarchy and have been so successful and persuasive that members of that white society often find themselves donning a hair shirt and prostrating themselves before those they have supposedly oppressed, those of black -- the established African-American population, and brown -- those new immigrants and others similar in complexion -- skin.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Resistance results in the cancellation of those not avidly embracing their label of the oppressor, and those unfortunate 'canceleds’ are driven into oblivion.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">But these new communists, these individuals holding the country hostage to their racist ideology have, according to Lippincott, what we should see as a fatal flaw, a flaw certain to bring them down if exploited properly. They are not willing to kill those who oppose them. As long as we foolishly play along with their little racist games, there is no need for them to consider slaying the opposition in the manner of Stalin, Mao, or other communist tyrants. The writer believes the communist left lacks the will to slaughter the opposition even if the opponents fail to submit to their demands. More likely, they fear the consequences of the Second Amendment and know they would suffer more harm than they could cause.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Lippincott calls upon the white middle class—straight, white married, gun-owning, Judaeo-Christian men and their wives and allies, like the Black ‘white supremacist’ Clarence Thomas and others like him who are the backbone of not just the conservative movement but of the country itself, to band together. He urges that when the left makes idiotic demands of submission, we must answer with “Come and make me!”</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">To have a real country, we will have to fight. Simply attempting to ‘make rational policy, ’ Lippincott believes, will not suffice. In the end, he feels it is all the same in that guiding a corrupt system is little better than being guided by it. We must fight Utopian and tyrannical communism wherever we find it, and again, we must not submit.

Should he be stymied, his political future is at risk.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: #ffd966; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">China does not manufacture the latest generation of computer chips; they need those for their war machines, aerospace industry, and other high-technology demands. Taiwan controls about ½ of the world's supply of those chips. Taking Taiwan would be a 'twofer' for China to gain the necessary chips for themselves and to deny the West the chips they must have.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: #ffd966; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The U.S. is telegraphing to the world that we are short some munitions, especially the high-tech kind we would need to stop China from successfully invading Taiwan. By helping Ukraine now, we have discovered significant gaps in our weaponry.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: #ffd966; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The U.S. has not been involved in high-intensity conflicts since Vietnam. Many of the weapons we used in Vietnam were left over from Korea and even WWII. Consequently, American industry has not had to think about surge capability for 50 years. </span></li><li><span style="background-color: #ffd966; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Be it Boeing, Lockheed, L3 Harris, or any other defense contractors; their workers frequently are single-shift, 35-hour work weeks like Maytag, Ford, or Dell. But defense companies are not just another washing-machine company. Their productive output could very well make the difference between the U.S. living free or in a subjugated world. We could lose the next war due simply to matériel shortages</span></li></ul><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">During a balls-to-the-wall fight, combatants must go flat-out 24x7 without concern over financial constraints. The U.S. has always been behind the curve at the start of hostilities in major wars. Historically we had too few trained personnel and insufficient weapons and munitions. From the Civil War through WWI and II, war clouds were visible just over the horizon, yet we ignored the warnings that would have said it was time to prepare. Such head-in-the-sand thinking sees thousands of troops killed unnecessarily due to inadequate force structure. The price of being unprepared is paid in blood. Being prepared does not mean you must fight a war. But it may keep the other side from miscalculating their chances of victory.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">No one knows if war with China is a certainty. But unless we are willing to hand over the mantle of world leadership to another country, we had better be prepared for war at any moment.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial;"><img alt="" src="https://www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2023-02/243844_5_.jpg" style="border: 0px; float: right; height: 500px; margin: 5px; max-width: 100%; width: 345px;" /></span>This is an excellent segue to a pet peeve of mine. The Department of Defense and senior leadership of each of the individual services should be, by and large, taken out and shot. Our Constitution requires civilian oversight of the armed services to keep the admirals and generals in check. But, too many flag officers are no longer warriors; they have become politicians, which is dangerous.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The <a href="https://ssl.armywarcollege.edu/dclm/pubs/Why%20Senior%20Military%20Leaders%20Fail%20(Drechsler%20Allen%20AFJ%20July_August%202009).pdf" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Army War College misunderstood the problem</a> demonstrated by the following quote:</span></p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); margin: 10px 40px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 20px;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">"... the modern commander is much more akin to the managing director of a large conglomerate enterprise than ever he is to the warrior chief of old. He has become the head of a complex<br />Military organization, whose many branches he must oversee and on whose cooperation, assistance, and support he depends for his success."</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"> The War College saw this as a strength, not a weakness. Recent Democrat Presidents and top generals no longer encourage a warrior mentality, and risk is generally discouraged as a minefield for career advancement.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Such a flawed analysis will see more of our soldiers die unnecessarily. From the home of the $20,000 toilet seat, I can tell you that contracting for weapons is much like road building today. Why does it take so long to build an intersection or repave a road? The partial collapse of the Bay Bridge occurred during the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, and Caltrans said it would take three years to fix the bridge. A local contractor made an unsolicited proposal to get the structure repaired in a month, and he successfully collected a sizeable bonus for early completion.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The DoD does not admire individualism anymore. They want compliant team players. Good perhaps for the Department of Labor, but terrible for warriors fighting on a battlefield.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Complacency and bureaucracy have teamed up as the anti-dynamic duos that give you a thousand reasons why something can't be done. Reflect back to just about a year ago, when our best minds said Ukraine was toast, don't even try to help them. When our military is at its best, nothing is impossible. But naysayers must be eliminated first.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: #ffd966; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">When you think about it, our military readiness posture, inability to fill enlistment quotas and timidness on the world stage are signs of more than just a mark of systemic failure of the military. They are prima facie evidence that we need to reinvent the country as a whole. <b>Doing so with the likes of Biden is impossible.</b> I don't know how often I have heard that the next election is the 'most important,' but <b>I believe that our next election may be the one that chooses our destiny to live free or die.</b></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Our ship of state is already taking on water. The slow leak that seemed not to be so worrisome has become a deluge. Consider the lack of concern for fundamental problems such as immigration, our fiscal situation, and social policies. No one is pushing the emergency button when it is obvious our ship is sinking fast.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">As a troubleshooter, I surveyed the situation and first stopped the flooding. Today, our policymakers seek solutions to problems too casually and without regard for reality. The border is a perfect example. Biden wants comprehensive immigration reform before stopping the millions swamping us. Comprehensive reform is a code for amnesty, which we have tried <a href="https://www.numbersusa.com/resource-article/seven-amnesties-passed-congress" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">seven times before</a>, which only encourages the next wave. He knows it, and we know it.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Our next war is inevitable; only the timing is unknown. Will we have the weapons and personnel to fight and win? At one time, we could fight two peer enemies simultaneously; now, it's questionable if we can fight a single one to victory. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i>Z*Z*Z <u><a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/02/as_war_clouds_gather.html" target="_blank">Source:</a></u></i></span></b><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span></p><div><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b>Knowledge Is Power: <a href="https://observernew.blogspot.com/">The New Realistic Observer</a> is a non-profit blog dedicated to bringing as much truth as possible to the readers.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Please share… Like many other fact-oriented bloggers, we've been exiled from Facebook as well as other "mainstream" social sites.</span></b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span><br /><b><i style="background-color: #ffe599;">Big Tech has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers' newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources.

The States can “petition Congress to convene” for the purpose of amending the Constitution, and the States will have the opportunity to ratify or not ratify amendments adopted by Congress at the end of the process.

The very things people are trying to enforce upon the federal government, found in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, will no longer protect any state that withdraws from that compact.

We currently have an unconstitutional federal government, stolen by way of fake elections, operating under the control and influence of a maniacal global power structure, beyond any constitutional authority, and at odds with every American Citizen.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The point here is this… Be it a Bill passed by Congress, an Executive Order from the White House dictator, or a court opinion based upon an isolated case, it <u style="box-sizing: border-box;">isn’t a federal “law”</u> unless it is passed by Congress and signed by a duly elected President, is within the constitutional authority granted the federal government, and is in “the furtherance thereof.” The Article I branch is the only branch with any lawmaking authority at all, and the law they make must be “constitutional,” or it is DEAD ON ARRIVAL.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">But there’s a bigger problem here…</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Precious time, energy, and resources wasted on fake solutions only result in the undermining of every potential real solution. While people are being dragged in a multitude of opposite directions, prevented from uniting behind any real solution, and almost always part of a con job related to a fake solution that keeps people in the bleachers with soda and popcorn, the people let dozens of real opportunities pass.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Since 2009, the USA has been under siege. Truthfully, it’s been much longer than that. However, the rapid pace of decline that has taken place since 2009 has never been seen before in U.S. history. The worst started in 1992 with the election of the Clintons. But the Obama years doubled our national debt and did in fact, “fundamentally change America” just as Obama promised.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The simple reality is most Americans are almost entirely unaware of what’s been done and is being done to our country and each of them right now. Of those who are aware, millions are afraid to engage or don’t know how to engage. In addition, millions are still stuck on fake solutions that are never going anywhere…or waiting for “someone (else) to do something.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b>In the end, this is no way to defend freedom and liberty.

Was this dreadful handicap the result of having slid too far down the slope of <a href="http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/ddd/deliberate-dumbing-down/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">dumbing down</a>, by way of <a href="http://www.donpotter.net/pdf/mcdonald_progressive_poison.pdf" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">progressive education</a> in the public schools? Was it a bad case of chronic mental laziness? Whatever the cause, the condition of his mind was tantamount to having had a lobotomy. A “side effect” in either case is being docile and compliant. (Ready for reprogramming?)</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">The dumbing handicap interferes with the perception of the world, adversely affects self-confidence, and it reduces the ability to act effectively in whatever is needed or desired in life. The ability to <em>think clearly</em> was once an aim of public schooling. The virtual abandonment of that goal via “progressive” education cannot be considered a form of “progress” assessed as an improvement of intellect and character in each student. But “Progressives” seem not to care for education that nourishes the mind. They prefer education that brings about a public that is compliant with their agenda, even if this damages the students’ ability to think and act according to their natural gifts and potential. “Change,” their mantra for progress, is a requirement in everything that doesn’t accord with their agenda.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">George Santayana had something to say about progressive change in 1947 that is worth repeating: “Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual ... In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Some will object that such “conservative” thinking blocks any movement toward progress (the definition of which is constantly kept vague). But the alleged “rigidity” ascribed to conservatives by liberals is not like the inflexibility of a straightjacket that restricts movement but like the firmness of a backbone supporting the body, <em>making movement possible</em>.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">It needs to be asked, then, in what direction we are being led by Progressives, and with accelerating velocity? From where I stand, after six decades or more of observing what has been happening in America, I see an increasing number of people thinking, speaking, and living in their diminished little worlds, having retreated or been restricted from the freer, fuller, more functional life that could be theirs. This is progress downward toward degradation, not improvement of life in America.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">I submit that Americans with a wider stretch of life than a few decades (one foot on the past and one on the present), can attest that in times past there was a generally higher level of smarts and civility in America, measured in terms of practical knowledge and friendlier relations among people. How that could be possible without smartphones and social media can only be puzzling to the millions whose faces and eyes are constantly buried in those devices instead of interacting with the actual world and the real people around them.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">An ageless attitude centered on the love of human life and the love of truth – the absence of which degrades leadership and governance – has faded. Exceptions aside, what evidence is there <em>from their actions</em> that our government officials love human life and truth? What has become of the minds of a majority of our leaders? Should we not wonder what the effect of educational dumbing has been in the formation of their intellect and character?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599;">For those whose dumbing has not seriously weakened the brain and dulled the senses, it should be obvious that many of our government heavyweights have chosen to turn their backs on the people and on America’s supreme law of the land. The Constitution, let it never be forgotten, is the product of men who acted on behalf of Americans sick and tired of oppressive government and who, trusting the Creator, were willing to sacrifice and fought for their <em>and our</em> liberation.</span> </span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Again from where I stand, I can report that serious attention to the <em>actual</em> world was prevalent in times past, manifesting in greater respect for objective knowledge. Objectivity, to the maximum extent humanly possible, was a tenet of science and of higher education, recognized by our leaders as a prime asset for improving and advancing the quality of life for all Americans. Objectivity was a tenet of the liberal arts before colleges got occupied by benighted administrators who cared less for advancing knowledge and culture and cared more for pushing the agenda of the political Left. What matter if doing so helped destroy the country? What matter if America is turned over to global dictators obsessed with changing the world into a habitat for happy zombies?</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">Leaders of whatever stripe and IQ who accept a demented agenda like “the Great Reset” show a serious lack of smarts. What is their excuse? What is their problem? Is the world their problem or is it an acute case of dumbness disorder?</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;">H. L. Mencken had something to say about terminal dumbing, back in 1920, that makes me wonder if he was joking: “As democracy is perfected,” he said, “the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”</span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b>It must remain an open question whether the degree of stupidity apparent in any holder of the office of president is in fact a high measure of cunning.</b></span></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><b><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></b></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><b><span style="font-family: Cherry Cream Soda; font-size: large;"><i>Z*Z*Z<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/01/progress_toward_terminal_dumbness.html" target="_blank"> <u>Source:</u></a></i></span></b></p><p align="left" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><b style="font-family: Merriweather;"><span style="font-size: large;">Knowledge Is Power: <a href="https://observernew.blogspot.com/">The New Realistic Observer</a> is a non-profit blog dedicated to bringing as much truth as possible to the readers.</span></b></p><div><span><span><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><b><br /><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Please share… Like many other fact-oriented bloggers, we've been exiled from Facebook as well as other "mainstream" social sites.</span></b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span><br /><b><i style="background-color: #ffe599;">Big Tech has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers' newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources.
