A Word About Nationalism

Do you love America more than the Constitution? Or do you love America BECAUSE of the Constitution, especially its Bill of Rights?

Speaking for myself, it’s the latter. I love America because individual rights flourished here, both in principle and practice, for a very long time. America was, and always will be, the first country that explicitly based itself on the rights of the individual. This led to innovation, prosperity, meritocracy, a work ethic, the independent American spirit, the elimination of slavery (the first society in human history to fight a civil war over ending slavery), and all the rest we now take for granted as millions of us embrace the glowering despair of Communism, fascism and collectivism instead (thinking we’re being virtuous by doing so).

You don’t fight for freedom because it’s the American way. You fight for America because freedom is what it stands for — or at least did, at its peak. Where it goes from here is largely up to the good guys left in this society. And we are at a turning point, I promise you.

A nationalist loves his country because it’s his country. By that definition, nationalism is a terrible mistake. Nationalism leads to Nazi Germany. It puts the state — the collective — above the individual, and for that reason nationalism is the polar opposite of what made America great. What made America great was its emphasis on individual rights, including the right to free speech, the right to private property, the right to bear arms and — at the root of it all — the sovereignty of the individual over his own life. The end.

Two things sum up the spirit of America, to me. One, the phrase, “Don’t tread on me.” Two, the phrase, “My body — my mind — my choice.” If nationalism means upholding these two things in the spirit of our original Bill of Rights, then I’m all for it; though I wouldn’t call it nationalism. I’d simply call it freedom.

Inflation Isn’t Caused by Capitalism. It’s Caused by Elite Socialism.

We’re always told that under capitalism–i.e., economic freedom–the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It was never true. Under economic freedom, everyone gets richer, so long as they make rational decisions and are willing to think and work. But it IS true now. Under elite Communism (America’s present system), the connected get richer and the middle class shrinks into varying degrees of relative poverty.

The Bidens and other politically connected criminals get richer while the disconnected get poor, or at least fail to grow. Meanwhile, in Argentina, the world’s first libertarian president is breaking hyperinflation. It’s a transformative development, and the best news in many years.

Today’s Mainstream Left: Unbridled, Unhinged, Unaccountable Hatred

Reading the headlines and the first few lines of MSN, MSNBC or CNN articles is revealing and astonishing. If you don’t ever view corporate-state media, I am here to tell you that it’s FAR worse than you assume. One headline, for example, expressed outrage that Trump is “attacking” Biden in all caps on his social media tweets. Democrats everywhere are outraged! Outraged, I tell you! From the tone and content of the article, you’d think that posting in all caps is the equivalent of homicide. I even know RINOs who would say, “Well, that’s just not presidential.” And yet these same RINOs seem to have no problem with abridging due process, obliterating the First and Second Amendments, ruining the military, outlawing civilization by banning fossil fuels, spying on law-abiding, private citizens and raising taxes to 40 percent rates and higher. Anything to avoid those ALL-CAP tweets.

“Election deniers” and “climate deniers” are routinely disparaged and written about the same way serial killers are discussed. We’re all told that it’s a sin and a felony to “hate”; but hatred is the defining essence of literally everything I find in the media that presumably most Americans are seeing, and whose headlines they are routinely reading. They hate, loathe, despise all things that ARE NOT THEMSELVES.

We’re told, over and over, that we have a “democracy,” which means that people who read and are influenced by this trash get to decide everything about our lives — at least if they’re in the majority, and even if they’re not. If we’re really a democracy, and the majority rules over the individual, then what’s to stop a majority from having their government, egged on by their media, from rounding up people who say and think things the government does not wish them to say?

I don’t know how long it will take for this inevitable disaster to play itself out. But I am certain it will, unless mass numbers of people reject everything they’re taught and reverse course culturally, politically and economically with urgent immediacy. This would mean boycotting all things statist, totalitarian and particularly leftist, since leftism rules and leftism is unblinkingly totalitarian: Starbucks, Nike, Disney, Facebook, Google, the NFL, ABC, CBS, NBC, Neflix, on and on, just to name a few.

To those of us 60 and above, if we’re lucky, we’ll escape the worst of it. But on our present course, those under 30 will not be living in anything remotely like the America many of us have known and loved, not 10 or 20 years down the line. I wonder if they’ll know what they’re missing.

“Based on recent events, we have to conclude that today’s college students are the commandants of tomorrow’s concentration camps.”
— David Harriman, a philosopher of science, writing on Facebook.

ABSOLUTELY correct. Or something else just as horrible. These leftists, with their unlimited power, unlimited authority and absolutely ZERO accountability for anything they say or do are capable of unlimited evil. Until the infuriated come together, all at the same time, and stop them.

Where have all the due process constitutionalists gone? You may be pondering this very thing: groups like the ACLU, or fervent public defenders, or even those liberals who vigorously defend the rights of individuals accused of damaging public property under the banner of terrorism. I question their actual commitment to due process, as they are the cheerleaders of its unlawful application by the Deep State to prosecute President Trump.

Consider the allegations of evidence destruction, prosecutorial bastardization of due process, and judicial misconduct. You might ask yourself, which option is the most corrupt? While District Attorney Alvin Bragg has admitted to deleting pages of evidence; the infamous pair, Willis and Wade, not only monetarily benefited from their prosecutorial misconduct but also lied to the court about it and their clandestine affair. Meanwhile, Judge Chutkan steam rolls over the  constitution, improperly presiding over a case that demands her recusal, just like when she self-recused from all things Donald Trump and Russia Gate circa 2017. Despite these examples, they are not the most corrupt.

In 2021, under Merrick Garland, the DOJ, buttressed by President Biden and his White House, lied about the independence of their investigation into Donald Trump and certain ‘classified’ documents. President Biden rescinded presidential privileges to allow for Trump’s prosecution. Direct communications between National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), DOJ, and Biden’s white house counsel ensued, discussing the handling of these documents post-presidency. Their own communications (recently disclosed) revealed instructions from the Biden administration and DOJ to NARA, directing them not to comply with inquiries regarding the documents, followed by a subsequent request from NARA to DOJ to investigate Trump.

Recent legal pleadings, disclosed by Judge Cannon in Trump’s Florida case show a total abdication of due process. These records reveal that the boxes in question were actually in the custody of Biden’s Government Services Administration (GSA) in Washington D.C., stored in unsecure locations. The GSA even contacted Trump’s representatives to determine the destination for these documents before shipping them to Mar-a-Lago. This revelation raises serious questions about the basis of the unlawful raid on the president’s home, via a “What’sApp Warrant.”  NARA previously conceded to NBC in February 2022 that they found classified documents in the boxes at Mar-a-Lago and subsequently notified the DOJ. Were these documents, the one’s NARA/GSA had shipped down to south Florida, deemed illegal during transit? This critical information recently came to light because Judge Cannon revealed Jack Smith and his team of constitutional jackals’ concealment and redactions in legal filings to hide misconduct.

After being exposed, Jack Smith and his incinerators of due process committed the ultimate legal sin: they lied to the judge. Their primary aim was to hide their unconstitutional actions, crucially from President Trump, who was the most significantly affected as the defendant. When their misconduct was uncovered, in storied swamp fashion, they used corruption as a shield.

More unredacted pleadings released by Judge Cannon have revealed that Jay Bratt and Jack Smith tampered with the documents found at Mar-a-Lago, creating confusion over their origins, and they subsequently admitted to misleading the court about these actions. This severe mishandling of evidence and the subsequent lies point to a deliberate attempt by the DOJ to manipulate legal proceedings. Such actions are what prosecutors like myself classify as incontrovertible evidence of corruption. With Smith’s rig team scrambling to fabricate warrants and stage bogus displays of ‘classified documents,’ one must ask: How much more corruption must be unveiled before justice is served and the DOJ is held accountable?

For those quick to dismiss these assertions as mere political rhetoric, remember that I led the Russia Gate investigation and authored the Nunes Memo, which has since been thoroughly validated. Drawing on my background as a public defender, I understand that true criminals often know the best evidence against them and excel in concealing it. The real government gangsters this time are deeply embedded within the DOJ and FBI.

As the details continue to unravel, it is becoming increasingly clear that Judge Cannon may soon wield what could be metaphorically called a ‘constitutional guillotine.’ This decisive action has the potential to end entrenched corruption within these agencies and restore the integrity of our justice system. The demand to eradicate ‘unconstitutional’ practices resonates powerfully with those who seek genuine constitutional due process. It’s time for a bold stand to reclaim justice and ensure that our constitutional values are upheld for all.

The Moral Nothingness of Pro-Palestinian Protests

“Pro-Palestinian” protesters don’t even know or care what they’re fighting about. They only care about protesting. It’s protesting for the sake of protesting. “Look at me. I care. I’m protesting!” It’s virtue-signaling on steroids. It’s morally, psychologically and intellectually meaningless. But it’s elevated to the highest virtue by a media committed to destruction for the sake of destruction, especially anything with a whiff of freedom at stake, as represented by mostly free Israel against the ruthless totalitarianism of militant Islam. You can always count on the universities, the media and hapless, brainwashed students (originally K-12, now at college) to be on the side of the bad guys. Every single time.

I’m talking here about the protesters who are actually students, and not Soros-funded terrorists of the sort we saw on the streets of the cities back in 2020.

If Trump wins in November (my prediction is he will not and cannot), then watch out. You haven’t seen anything yet.

SOVEREIGN Individuals

We need the word and concept “sovereign” back in our vocabulary. It will make Google and Facebook censors crazy. Biden (or the next puppet) will foam at the mouth at “sovereign” like they presently do over “MAGA” or “Trump.”

Sovereign is a concept more threatening to tyrants than MAGA or Trump. That’s why we should start promoting it. Sovereign means: “My life belongs to me. It belongs to nobody else. It does NOT belong to the government or The State. The government and the state operate with MY permission; NOT the other way around. My rights are the right to be left alone. That’s it. I don’t have a right to what somebody else is forced to produce. I only have a right to be left alone. My body, my mind, my choice. A government exists ONLY to protect those rights for myself and others, equally. Beyond that, a government serves no purpose and has no right to exist. You — all of you in the government — are a means to an end. You are my servants. You act in service to the cause of individual rights, private property and freedom. THAT’S IT. You are the means to MY end. MY life. And each individual’s life. That’s all. And that’s everything.”

If we said these words and meant them — then the evil in D.C. and our state capitals and bureaucracies would evaporate. The teachers and the media idiots espousing socialism, Communism and other psychosis would fall on deaf ears. Nothing they say would matter, and none of it would make any sense.

Ideas have consequences. It’s as simple and as real as that.
