Big Brother is Alive and Well…………

….And he has lots of new toys to play with.  Presidential Administrations, the Department of Justice (the DOJ, which answers directly to the President), the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. media cannot be trusted.  They should not be trusted.  They have proven over and over that this is true.  And yet, they continue to broaden their influence…their autocratic powers and authorities.  They continue to abuse their elected, appointed, and career offices.  Their shamelessness in regards to their corruption has reached a point where it is, for all intents and purposes, non-existent.  They openly hold the citizenry of these United States of America in the open contempt that we so richly deserve.

 

What began with Richard Nixon and his plumbers, reached new heights and agendas with Barack Obama, and have now achieved galactic bounds with Joe Biden…this irresistible abuse of power and corruption that seems to infect American politicians…has risen to a level that literally threatens our nation.  How long will the citizens of this country abide this “in your face” arrogance and conceit?  Have we become so consumed with our own affairs that we have put our civic duties on auto-pilot?  Are we content with being manipulated by a Machiavellian media and industrial complex that sees us as little more than sheep to be herded in the directions that serve their interests? 

 

There has always been, and will always be, an element of corruption in our government.  People are flawed creatures and we elect people to run our nation’s business.  But the level and degree of corruption we are witnessing today has reached a crisis level.  I see a significant difference between the President Nixon Corruption and the Presidents Obama/Biden Corruption.  Nixon said he wasn’t; but he was a crook.  His crookedness was all about solidifying his power and influence and perhaps gaining even more.  His greed and ambition were of the old-fashioned variety inasmuch as they improved his personal position.  He was not so much interested in controlling other peoples’ lives as he was in improving his own.

 

In contrast, Obama and Biden are driven by the modern, liberal motif of their conviction that they know better what is good for you than you know yourself.  They are ego-maniacs.  They want to run your life.  Their drive and ambition is to redesign this country into one that better conforms to their ideals and agenda.  Now along the way, they will enthusiastically pad their own accounts and improve their personal wealth and standing; but with them, it is ultimately about much more than the Benjamins.  It is about gaining control and self-importance and the ability to mold and change other people and things to fit your vision.  This type of corruption is truly revolutionary in nature.  It is product of our modern times.

 

If the circus of shame that is otherwise known as the Biden Administration continues its Ruination of America Tour and does not trigger a monumental backlash at the polls that results in a return to a reasonably irresponsible government (but one that is somewhat accountable, partially embarrassed by incompetence, and transparent when pressed on the issue), then our Constitution may as well be used to paper the bathrooms in the House and Senate office buildings.  The scandalous schemes that were conceived and dreamed of under Obama have now been put into full blown modus operandi by Biden and his Democrat Clown Show.  I remain convinced that the same people who did the original dreaming are manning the levers behind the White House curtains today.

 

Just as America’s reaction to the COVID epidemic was a Trojan horse for many people with ulterior motives, so has the unnerving expansion of government and its autocratic powers over private citizens served as a useful vehicle for immoral, unethical, ruthless, and power-hungry bureaucrats to expand their personal ideologies and agendas.  The men who wrote our Constitution recognized the peril posed to this nation by the granting of inordinate power to government officials.  They wrote our foundation in such a way that a balance of power should exist between the nation and the states, the three branches of our government, and that those balances should serve as governors on over-zealous autocrats seeking to expand their power and influence at the expense of government by and for the people.

 

Perhaps one of, if not THE, greatest example of this cancerous government creep is found in the bowels of the FISA Court and its administration.  Read about it in the following posts from the past:

Look at the dates on these posts.  Now look at the news.  What many feared has come to pass.  John Durham is a straight shooter.  He is highly respected by members of both national parties and has proven time and again that his investigations will not be driven by political agendas, arbitrary timelines, or other political considerations.  Don’t rely on the media to tell you what was in his recently-released report addressing the worst political dirty trick in history.  Here it is; read it for yourself: https://jonathanturley.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Durham-Report.pdf

 

Now take the time to read what some professional journalists think about this historically-shameful episode of abuse, unbridled ambition, and pure malice.  Also…pay close attention at how this entire sordid chapter began with the FISA court…

Here is a great summary via Andrew C. McCarthy’s podcast: https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/the-mccarthy-report/a-long-awaited-report/

 

If you perhaps believe that this whole thing was an anomaly…that it was a perfect storm of corruption and could not happen again…then you had better pause and reconsider.  The January 6 Debacle that has been incorporated by the Biden Administration and their rotten and partisan Department of Justice holds the potential to be as large a scam as the Russian Collusion Hoax was.  Meanwhile, the DOJ continues run cover for the filthy Biden Family Enterprise that has literally sold out our nation’s security for personal profit.  It makes you wonder: Do we ever really learn anything at all from our mistakes and misdeeds?  As George Santayana once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.  Look carefully at what our infamous Department of Justice is doing today…

And what about all of those “new toys” I mentioned in the title.  The expansive capabilities of corrupt government officials to pursue their nefarious schemes and devices have reached proportions that are truly frightening:

If this degree of blatant, unabashed, and shameful corruption continues, our nation is in peril.  If we continue to elect people without character and honor to office…and thus empower them to seed our government from top to bottom with people without character and honor…what are the implications for our country?  What are the consequences for our children and grandchildren?

And while the most recent manifestations of executive overreach by Biden have likely been among the most grievous and extreme in history, this manner of presidential abuse of power is certainly not unique to the Democrat Party.  Republican presidents have done it as well.  We all have our blinders on when we consider these actions.  If they lead to a conclusion that we are in tune with, we can accept them with a wink and a nod…or perhaps just look the other way.  If they occur in the name of policies we do not agree with, they are anathema to our Constitutional form of government and a threat to our nation’s core.    They are wrong in either premise and should not be tolerated. 

 

The Constitutional balance of power between our three branches of government must be restored.  The exploding size and influence of our government must be reversed.  Government transparency must be achieved.  Accountability for government departments, agencies, and individuals must become a reality.  Our very government is under attack from forces that wish to reinvent it into a Euro-socialist-virtue signaling clusterf**k that will destroy what generations have fought and died to gain and preserve.  And once it is gone…it will not be regained.
