Big Deal. The World Always Watches

Big Deal.  The World Always Watches

The last chance to make a point about a transparently stolen election got short-circuited by a latter-day Storming of the Bastille.  The original Bastille, at the time of its storming by irritated French peasants, only held a handful of the insane, which makes the simile all the more apropos.  Any meaningful objection and debate of problematic state election procedures was quashed at the precise moment of the first objection to the result of those procedures.  It couldn’t have been scripted any better.  And when, hours later, the process of ratifying fraud resumed, all the starch had been removed from any remaining quibble.

 

Of course everyone’s falling all over themselves blaming Donnie Combover for it. He told his supporters to follow him to the Capitol, after all.  Which meant, of course, to storm the place ensuring that procedural quibble be dismantled.  He and his supporters have worked out an intricate code, in dog whistles [to use a term from the left], by which mundane sentiments actually translate to sinister messages.  Just ask anyone on the left; they’ll tell you.

 

The long and short of it, however, is that the last gasp of remediation was rendered impotent.  But sure, it’s his fault.  Consequently, he has, as I type this, 12 full days left to be a democrat playing a republican president on twitter… except that he’s been banned from twitter.  Perhaps he’ll take to parler and play president there for the time he has left.

 

Still, that’s not good enough for the psychotic democrats.  They’re demanding that President Cheeto be removed from office sooner.  “Invoke the 25^th Amendment or we’ll impeach him again!!” they’re bawling.  Because impeaching an ex-president is such a worthwhile and effective activity, and not embarrassing at all.  There are currently at least two separate Articles of Impeachment being drawn up.

 

All because of this national embarrassment.  We The People dared to infiltrate the Capitol, what is being called “The People’s House”.  Mere people don’t belong in The People’s House.

I’ll let the irony of this ersatz outrage sink in for a bit.

 

…

 

Resuming…

 

The impassioned plea from the artificially reasonable has been “Shouldn’t we all be embarrassed by what the world saw from us this week?”  Honestly, not especially.  As embarrassments go, this was rather timid.  I’m old enough to remember the world pillorying Jimmuh Cahtuh for being a demonstrable boob, and doing ditto to Cuckold Bill for operating a frat house instead of a White House.  This past week is, to reference Jimmuh Cahtuh once more [I’m sorry], peanuts.  In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists infiltrated one of the House galleries with semi-automatic weapons and shot up the House of Representatives in session.  What we saw in DC this week was more reminiscent of the dispossessed in the world’s Banana Republics protesting a bogus election.  …an election over which Jimmuh Cahtuh [last time, I promise], the world’s pre-eminent Election Observer, would have had a whole herd of cows if it had occurred elsewhere and not in the US with a demented feeb pedophile and his socialist prat running mate being declared the winner.

 

For god’s fucking sake, even Iraq, in their first-ever actual democratic election, dyed every voter’s thumb purple to prevent them from being able to vote again, let alone for their ancestors.  The entire world watched an election in the US − the heretofore premier democracy − create, with astoundingly detached concern for integrity, a tableau for state-sponsored vote fraud.

 

That was embarrassing.

 

Mail-in ballots wouldn’t pass muster in the ex-Soviet Union.  Not even if the ballots were hand-delivered to Communist Party insiders.  There’s too much risk of the politically dispossessed getting hold of them.

 

I’ve gone on record time and time again being unsurprised by, understanding the reasons behind, and supporting people protesting − even violently − against the government of a free people when that government abuses its defined powers.  The government of a free people which abuses those powers does not rule over free people, it rules over subjects.  It is, in the description of our own Declaration of Independence, an illegitimate government.

 

I’ve done this here, here, here, here, and here.  And likely several other places as well.

When people violently protest government, it’s because government is being abusive.  This is a historical constant.

In the face of abusive government, dismantling or destroying the government façade and killing its agents is another historical constant.   A constant we are guaranteed to see far more of in the months and years to come for one reason and one reason only.  Government − OUR government − is becoming more abusive of its defined powers.

 

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

-Thos. Jefferson

 

Insofar as manure goes, you can’t get much more shitty than the current apologism for the farcical nod to democracy and rule of law being made by, almost literally, everyone.  Many democrats are actually leveraging recent events into an excuse to criminalize anyone who fails to acquiesce to “progressive” [ironic term] sensibilities.  Mrs Barry Hussein wants social media outlets to “condemn” Orangeman and everyone who voted for him, and effectively prohibit any of their ideas from being aired.  Free speech for me but not for thee.  When thee speaks it, it becomes WrongThink.  This renders her husband’s mid-2011 declaration that those voting for his opponent were, in his words, “the enemy” as mere hyperbolic flourish, and takes it to absolutely fascistic extremes.  ABC − the public airwaves’ television network − has taken the position that we need to “cleanse the nation” of people who don’t support …well, essentially, socialism and socialism’s monochromatic outlook.  ABC is, no doubt, willing to step up and provide that outlook.

 

Rushing the Capitol building, breaking windows and ransacking the office of Congresscunt Pelosi is being described in more outraged terminology than an entire summer of arson, vandalism and indiscriminate destruction was described by any democrat or their propagandist press.  “Peaceful protest”, according to Michelle Obama, is what you have when churches, department stores, entire fleets of used cars and whole city blocks are destroyed by tens of thousands of leftists over five long months in multiple large and medium-sized cities.  Riot, insurrection and sedition is when several dozen MAGA-hatted yahoos break a bunch of windows and throw papers around over a couple hours… once.

 

The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

 

The summer’s riots began as justifiable outrage over cops abusing their authority.  For maybe as many as 24 hours, the target of mob violence was the Minneapolis police who, between the four officers on the scene, somehow managed to subdue and handcuff a big, burly guy accused of passing a fake Jackson, but who could NOT, between the same four, manage to pick him up and move him literally three feet to the backseat of the patrol car.  The natural alternative to sticking him in the cop car and hauling him away to jail is, of course, to stand on his back for nine minutes until he asphyxiates.

 

There was absolutely zero excuse for what the cops did.  And for as many as 24 hours, almost literally 99% of the nation understood that and was singing from the same hymnal.  To the degree I sing from hymnals I was among them.

 

To that end, the police station in Minneapolis was attacked and virtually destroyed.  Around 25% of the nation cheered.  This is historically what happens when government abuses its authority.  Just a heads up, government.  Don’t want your police stations demolished? color within the lines.  It’s not hard, so why does it need to be said?  Because I understand the grand historical sweeps at play, I supported the effort.  It should be obvious by this point that voting the bastards out doesn’t work.  Nor does using the courts to “operate within the system to fix the system”.  The concept of qualified immunity for cops “just doing their job” [shades of Nuremburg rationalization] was invented by the courts themselves.

I’m from the Sheldon Cooper school:
“Sheldon, why are you arguing with the DMV?”
“How else are they going to learn?”

Cops have a legitimate authority to arrest fake paper passers. They do NOT have a legitimate authority to stand on a citizen's back until he expires, regardless of the excuses the cop can concoct.  I’m not a Thin Blue Liner.  Authoritarian despotism is historically far more likely than anything else to hide behind the blue line.

Ya wanna burn down the cop shop when cops arrogantly kill someone needlessly?  I get it.

 

But it was after this the peaceful protests started.  A Target department store was gutted by the flames of peaceful protest after every single plasma TV on its shelves had been liberated.  An auto parts store, obliterated from the map.  An entire city block, razed. 

Wait, did the owners of these also stand on George Floyd’s back?  Did I miss something?

No, and yes.  What I missed was that the protest was joined by the twin travelling minstrels of the commies of BLM and the anarchists of Auntie Fey.  The commies of BLM switched the narrative from “abuse of government power by a disconnected and indifferent group of idiot cops” to “this only happens to black people, because everybody else, and cops too, is racist”.

 
And, well, Tony Timpa. 

 

The solution the commies of BLM offered? defund the police.  Take money away from cops.  If cops don’t get paid, they won’t be racists with guns.  That they can’t also interfere with the liberation of department store merchandise or drugland territorial wars is just a coincidence.

The anarchists of Auntie Fey brought with them mounds of Soros-provided bombs, bricks and lead pipes, and peaceful protest was unleashed all over the city.  And then cities all over the country, because Auntie Fey isn’t an actual organization, or anything, with chapters spread hither and yon.

We obtained a slow, rolling Kristallnacht that put the original Brownshirted version to shame.  Hey, they have insurance, right?

 

If violent response to government is a historical constant in the face of abusive government, what is the destruction of random private property while simultaneously blaming the private property owners for their own losses?

 

It is authoritarian revolution.  It is the Reign of Terror purges in French Revolution France.  It is the Bolshevik Revolution purges in Russia.  It is the fascist take-over of Germany and the various Final Solutions it offered.  It is the Reds Brigading of China.  It is the countless purges of countless tyrants at countless times and places.  Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez…

 

These people can’t blame government for their piqué, for they aspire to government control.  And when they control the government, they will need everyone to obey the new government they control.  So they blame everyone else.  Nobles, bourgeoisie, Jews and gypsies and homosexuals, whomever.  Medusa had her basket of deplorables and vast right-wing conspiracy.  Barry Hussein had “the enemy” Americans who weren’t going to vote for his re-election, and his wife has anyone who continues to refuse supporting their bankrupt [and bankrupTING] notions.  BLM has its cultural appropriation and un-decolonized institutions inspiring a form of racism so subtle that it has to be browbeaten to be discerned.  The ABC television network has every citizen who is not fully on board with “progressive” [ironic term] politics.

 

Say what you will about Donnie Combover, he blamed the government itself: the Deep State swamp.  The nameless, faceless bureaucracy that actually controls the nation.  By doing so, he spoke to a sentiment that has been simmering for two generations or more among the [arguably] largest share of our nation’s people.  Whether they realize it or not, or whether they hold more stock in the form of the message than in its content, are separate issues entirely.  Most Americans innately understand that the government is the problem.

 

It was this government that created a landscape for stealing an election away from the guy whose raison d’être was to curtail excessive, anonymous government that abuses its powers.  “Drain the swamp.”  People stormed and vandalized the specific location that was ratifying the current abuse?  I am thoroughly unsurprised.  The historical constant resurfaces.

 

Who else is that government going to blame for people behaving the way people always behave when government abuses its power?  Themselves?

 

That’s who should be blamed, but, no.  They’ll blame the guy who points out the loudest that the emperor is wearing no clothes.  That’s Orangeman, and they’ll blame him, because Orangeman bad.  He said “Let’s go to the Capitol”.  This, naturally, to the left [and the left’s co-conspirators], is indistinguishable from the exhortation, “Let’s ransack the Capitol.”  And because of this leap of logic, the guy is required to be impeached yet again over lefty psychosis.

Just imagine what would have happened if President Cheeto had declared the Capitol’s ransacking to be “brilliant”, “essential” and “necessary” the way Knee-Pads Harris described five months of arbitrary nationwide destruction by the BLM commies and their anarchist Auntie Fey minions.
