There won't be a November election, or the Repub winners will be arrested...

Friends,

A message of doom and gloom. (Maybe.)

Those of you who have not been paying attention, or who only attend to the MainStream News, do not know that the American Left, meaning the Democrat Party and the mainstream "RINO" Republicans – what are called the UniParty" – are in full mode to cancel the American experiment, i.e. the Constitutional government that has survived – through various permutations – since 1787. (Or so says Senator Rick Scott, and I think he's right.)

That old American system was a self-governmental system. Self-government by the people for the people now crumbles under final "war of position" assault by bureaucratic government, i.e. a rule of government for government, with "the people" being serfs whose lives exist to fund the government. And this bureaucratic government remains very "Left", i.e. anti-individualism, anti self-rule, anti-freedom in the sense of allowing people to govern their own lives and be responsible for their own failures. That is the essence of Leftism: You are not allowed to fail, everyone must be equal or life isn't fair. According to Leftist dogma: if you fail, it cannot your fault but "racism" or "sexism" or whatever's fault. The only self-government this Leftist tyranny allows consists of self-depravity: you can choose any depravity you want, sexual, drug-induced, psychotic, diabolical (Marx was a Satanist) except you cannot "impose your morals on others" if those morals are traditional Christian.
  • N.B. This is par for the course because Jean-Jacques Rousseau came up with the Leftist proto-idea precisely to create an all-powerful governing bureaucracy that would allow you to live a life of sexual hedonism. People just living in sexual hedonism, like Rousseau did, end up starving in the gutter. I've met a good few over the years.
The November Election?
As many of you know, I've been saying for some time that a November 2022 election would not be held, or it would be so egregiously stolen that it might as well not be held. The Biden Regime is out of control and the so-called opposition party does nothing. The Democrats are so out of control because the Republicans "do nothing". More importantly, the governors of the states are doing nothing. They're really the only ones who have the power to stop federal overreach, if they wanted to. The various states are primary to the Federalis, though few seem to remember that. Ron DeSantis in Florida might do something, but he's angling for mainstream Repub endorsement for a presidential run in 2024, and the-powers-that-be will not (most likely will not) allow Kari Lake in Arizona to win the governorship there. Ohio's governor, I'm sorry to say, is so much mental compost, a younger version of Biden, kinda-sorta, without the sexual depravity.

So, were one to read widely, as I try to do, one would see the USA is becoming East Germany. (A banana-republic version of it, at least.) Here is a list of articles about the Biden Department of Justice and FBI attacks on American citizens.

Mike Lindell's phone is seized at a fast-food stop:
And while the Biden Regime uses federal law enforcement to do all this Stasi/KGB type stuff, life has become simply unbearable in the large U.S. cities:
Tucker Carlson… Civilization is collapsing before our eyes…
  • N.B. That latter was exactly the goal of the Frankfurter Schule Communist theorists of the 1920s. It is why Soros has funded all these worthless attorneys general in state and urban elections. Make things so bad that people cry out for a dictatorship. And it seems all going according to plan.

My friends, there was a time I would have thought the following commentator, Ben Armstrong, leaned out too far over the edge (esp from the 15-minute mark), but now I don't think so. Read through a few of the above articles and tell me the  Biden Regime would not hesitate to arrest MAGA Republicans who won their elections this November. In Michigan already, MAGA Repubs were driven off the ballots. I think now that the Biden Department of Justice and FBI would not hesitate to arrest any newly elected Congressmen they want to.

Certainly, the Covid lockdowns were NOT about Health, but about establishing precedent for mass control of the masses. And with Biden's signature on an Orwellian Executive Order
on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy, we see "Health" becoming the other arm of a huge pincer movement designed to entrap and subdue us all. 

The Catholic Church should be standing four-square against all this, but the Modernists who run it have turned it into a worthless NGO, and Bergoglio is just spouting drivel.”THE TWO STRINGS OF THE DOMBRA ARE A CALL TO FASHION HARMONY FROM TWO PARALLEL STRINGS.” - AGED FRANCIS EMITS CHEESY GLOBALIST BLATHER AT KAZAKHSTAN (see Canon212.com for details).

Such is our world. Pretty much a case of Stercus tauri. Where's Sterculius when you need him?

U.S. Election developments coming fast and furious as of December 15

 Amici,

Well, Mitch McConnell, U.S. Senate majority leader, is saying "The electoral college has spoken and Biden is the president-elect." Interesting. And what happens over the next week or two should clear and outright voter fraud be proven in widely separated states that used Dominion? Say Michigan and Arizona? What happens then, Mitch?

Consider the fast-developing news: the news is in – or should I say the news is out – about the Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan. RedState has an excellently organized article on it here, and the group that did the audit, ASOG, here at RedState

You can read another article on it here at PJMedia, one trying to be "balanced" in the traditional media reporting. It gives the Democrats' side of it, with all their disputing the "result" of ASOG's independent audit, and their "No, no, you don't understand what really happened here!" talk. (As you can see from the RedState article, ASOG has a lot of experienced personnel involved with it, however. Our friend Jody should be on their team.:) I note that this piece's author, who goes to great lengths to be "neutral" and newsworthy, does include this: "If this next part is true, and all the adjudication logs went missing, someone should explain why."

Finally time for President Trump's Executive Order 13848?

 Amici,

It's time for Executive Order 13848. After all, General Flynn says it needs to be done

See also Sidney Powell discuss the need for the E.O. to be implemented here
If they have that level of evidence, then they must act. Full force.

Or if the President doesn't act, maybe it's time for these guys:

There's another reason it's time for E.O. 13848, however: because we're drowing in legal "red tape" that stands the U.S. Constitution on its head.

The Supreme Court's raison d'être

Just consider the juridicial world we live in: the U.S. Supreme Court has over the last 200 years – since Chief Justice John Marshall (a true Revolutionary War combat hero, mind you) – has slowly but surely made itself the final arbitrator of all things Constitutional and legal in the U.S. And I mean, all things constitutional, legal, moral, ethical, even religious and biological. Yet its original raison d'être was to solve problems arising between the first two branches of the U.S. federal government, i.e. the national legislature (Congress) and the executive (President); the second of was equal importance: solving issues between the states. But Marshall (chief justice from 1805 to 1835) set the Court on the path to being a final arbiter in all things remotely invoving either the federal government or the states. 

That broader role has grown while it's actual purpose has withered. Thus, the Court dismissed the Texas lawsuit (six other states were signed in on that, with eleven others filing amicus curae briefs). The Supremes dismissed the suit for "lack of standing", a way of saying, "None of your business." 
  • N.B. One reason for the Supreme Court's ever increasing power is Congress has abdicated its basic function: writing laws. It passes laws created by special interests and lobbyists (like Obamacare, a law about which no one in Congress even knew what was in it; as Pelosi said, they had to pass it to find out what was in it!). 
  • Ever try to read a modern law passed by Congress? Utter gobbledygook. Of course they need multiple levels of interpreters. 
  • These laws let the federal bureaucracy "manage" us all, and that in turn generates lawsuits wherein the judges rule on whether what the bureaucrats did is "constitutional" – when the whole system has become utterly unconstitutional, immoral, and even irrational.
More of the same, really
But even before the rise of the "Deep State", the Supreme Court declared Blacks to be truly sub-human, as Chief Justice Roger B. Taney did in the infamous Dred Scott decision back in 1856 (along with a number of other incredible nonsense, too involved to go into here, but note that the actual Constiution said nothing about the nature of Africans) and the Supremes could 50 years ago find a right to abortion carte blanc, up to and including birth, or again lately rule that two men (or two women – so why not two women and one man or two men and one woman, or more?) can marry, and on and on. But yet somehow they can't hear the case of one state suing another because the latter is run by thugs and Communists who have flagrantly and fraudulently elected a mentally challenged Potemkin candidate who is a facade for foreign interests? Texas has no standing to argue that it has been harmed in that? So much for the Supremes' raison d'être.
  • Let's try a thought experiment. Suppose the Texas legislature and governor were so outraged at the Supreme Court's blow off, their "dodge" as Kayley McEnany said of it, that they vote to declare war on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Would that be worthy of the Supreme Court's attention?
The Supreme Court decision gobsmacked me (as the Irish say: that's an unexpected punch in the kisser). I was like a cartoon character with my mouth hanging open. Not because of the legalities of it, mind you: whether Texas had standing to sue, as whether it could show real harm done to it (of course, by dismissing the case, they didn't get the chance to argue it before the Court and the nation). I think we all know, as with the cases I mentioned above, that should the Court want to find a reason to involve itself, it will indeed find one, no matter how facetious the reason might be.

What's really going on
For your consideration:
  • The Judiciary, state and local, isn't about "justice" but about managing Public Opinion.
  • Honestly, what is "the Law" but a series of social rules decided upon by the people, their elected representatives (or in this case, representatives appointed by "the powers that be") the main purpose of which is to manage social tensions so society doesn't blow apart.
  • N.B. Well, in the slave-creating Leftist Ideology, Law is a tool to manipulate people to achieve the results desired by the "Dictatorate of the Proletariate". (In Sharia Law, the law is a tool to achieve the results desired by the "Dictatorate of the Umma".)
  • Otherwise, be very certain of this: those who run the Law (judges, lawyers, courts) would like to maintain the fiction that they are truly neutral and engaged in a truly noble endeavor, something higher than mere societal management.
  • But we no longer have Sacred Law in the West, a law derived from God, or even the philosophical contemplation of natural realities (Natural Law).
  • For every lawyer or judge who really wants to arrive at a just decision, to serve the people rather than manage them, there exist multiple lawyers and judges who manipulate the law for whatever axe they have to grind. We're drowning the Republic in such right now.
Look at it this way: Alf kills Beta, shoots him down like a dog. Alf is hauled before the court. Yet here is the question: Is Alf being judged because he broke one of God's laws? Nope, he isn't. God no longer has any interaction in the U.S. government, according to the Warren Court (and even the Constitution itself, to be honest). Not in today's world. In the past, pre-1776, when the Law was God's Law, Alf would indeed so judged. But now the Law is decided by public opinion. It "floats" like an untethered interest rate. So as long as public opinion frowns of murder, Alf can be judged. If the court let's Alf off "on a technicality" in such a public opinion environment -- what happens? Society becomes a tad more unstable than it was before because what people expect is not being fulfilled. But no one expects God to be outraged. Still less, to intervene.

  1. Yet what happens when abortion eats away at public opinion? Young human life is worthless. What then?
  2. And euthanasia eats away from the other end of life?
  3. And the idea that one has to be a fully functioning person to have any rights? (Remember Terri Schiavo, died back in 2005? Actually, she was starved to death back in 2005.)
  4. Or even now, today, when it is patently obvious Republicans have fewer rights than Democrats, or when Blacks (only those who think correctly, mind you) have more rights than whites? This, too, is patently obvious.
See what happens? Public opinion changes. It wanders about like the blind leading the blind. Without a Sacred Law from God as a roadmap, we're just lost. And lost, then we muddle about and just make up law to suit ourselves. In the 19th century, the phrase "Vox populi, vox Dei" meant public opinion is the voice of God. General Sherman, who would have made a great dictator, BTW, said contempuously, "Vox populi, vox humbug". (The latter word meaning what is expressed by today's male bovine guano.)

We've known since FDR's administration that Leftists of various sorts were "pushing the envelope" in taking over our lives. Slowly, the Supreme Court of the 1930s -- which had initially resisted FDR -- came around to rubber -stamping whatever he wanted. The pressure on the 1930s Supremes was intense. Roosevelt tried to pack the court, if you remember. Things went downhill from there with the infamous Warren Court in the 1950s, taking all mention of God out of the public sphere and finally imposing abortion -- and more -- upon us.
  • I think the turning point was the assinasstion of Jack Kennedy. I now believe Lyndon Johnson had it done, for the various reasons in the following book by political gadfly Roger Stone: The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ. So blatant a charade the Warren Commission was that the bad guys have just gone from strength to strength ever since, deposing Nixon, trying to depose Reagan and Trump, and conspicuously and flagrantly stealing the election from Trump.
So, after getting over my shock at the Supreme Court's reckless stupidity of not letting the contending parties argue their case in court, for all to see and as our adversarial system of justice demands, I immediately thought: this is the 21st century's Dred Scott decision, just as Roe v. Wade was the 20th's. Why? Because a shooting war resulted from the first Dred Scott decision, and an unending social civil war from the second. What will result from the third?

  1. Are the justices on the Court not in effect saying that the publica of the Res publica no longer has any standing to try to legally right wrongs in the Res? ("Republic" comes from the Latin "A thing of interest to the people" i.e., res publica.)
  2. As I understand it, "standing" has a lot to do various considerations. But such legal niceties aside, all law in a "sovereignty of the people" state is based on pubic opinion, what public opinion will bear.
  3. It is not like in Ancient Israel where the law was from God, and sacred, sacrosant, and immutable. Today, law is like cash money: it only has value if the people give it value.
  4. Otherwise, the law, like the money, is worthless. If the people do not give it value, after all, it's not worth the paper it is printed on.
  • But the Supremes seem to be utterly uncaring about all that. Two of the other three political branches are nearly at open war, states are running grotesquely fraudulent elections and instead of being a referee, their "original jurisdiction" and the ultimate reason they exist, the Supremes "duck and run".
A comment from an author at American Thinker is brilliant: The Court has opened the gates to secession themselves by their refusal to grant Texas and its 18 allied states so much as a chance to plead their case. The refusal to hear sends the message that anything goes in the states.

Truly, if anything goes, what's to stop secession? (Though the article is about what Allen West meant when he mentioned secession the other day, not the secession of Texas per se. That one state could very well secede, of course; it's economy is bigger than Russia's! And I remember reading somewhere that one part of the deal to bring it into the Union was that it could secede if it wanted to; after all, it was an independent republic for 10 years. It's the only state with the right to fly its flag just as high as Old Glory.) Or one state declaring war on another. Remember, law is about perception of what the people will tolerate at any given time in history.
  1. This morning I was thinking it seemed like two neighbors having a dispute about a line fence. Neighbor Alf says Neighbor Beta built the line fence on Alf's property, thereby taking property that didn't belong to Beta and forcing Alf to pay for the fence maintenance.
  2. So Alf goes to court and the Judge says Alf has no standing to sue Beta, because of legal X, Y, and Z shop talk.
  3. Therefore, Alf's choices are either to "embrace the suck" as Jody says, or simply shoot Beta and uproot the fence.
Now a host of commentators, including the President's legal team, are writing that there's a number of other cases under consideration, and we should focus on those. For example:
But while that is true and one of those might actually "work", I'm not sanguine. The judiciary, both state and federal, seems to be scared to death of this election and what its theft will do to the country; either scared to death or two ideologically divided. Remember what this article said that I sent around a while ago? 
The relevant excerpt:
Success in the law is based on using magic words.  It really is.  If you don’t use them, the court has no obligation to fix your pleadings.  But if you know the spell, and you know how to cast it on paper, miracles can happen.  Revolutionary arguments surface even when long standing practices appear to have firm judicial support.
We haven't got time for using the right magic words. Time is too short, the situation too desperate, the stakes too high, for such games. (And alas, the President's legal team didn't have this author on their staff.)
In any event, for an in-depth review of how legally complicated this all is at this stage of Trump's legal challenges, check out Shipwreckedcrew's long article at RedState

Political Thuggery
Many commentators are saying the Supremes – whatever the actual quality of their legal reasoning as to whether Texas really does have "standing" to sue Pennsylvania – are "taking a powder" politically, running away from a tough one. True leaders have to stand up to problems and address them, not "pass the buck." (Others say they're simply "bought" by the Deep State, or as Dick Morris suggests, they've been warned by "the-powers-that-be that they'll be "packed" if they don't surrender.)
  • But again, it seems like this was a massively important political issue to actually have presented in court and the litigants given a hearing. The modern judiciary is more like a steam valve, letting society shed overloading steam, than any actual attempt at "justice". So slamming the door in their faces means, once again, either surrendering or fighting. It builds up the pressure till the boiler explodes.
So, to sum up, forget the courts. Invoke Executive Order 13848.

Executive Order 13848
If President Trump doesn't invoke his Executive Order, declare a national emergency, and arrest a host of these creeps, we've lost the country because even if one or two courts "worked" (as one single judge in PA tried to do before the state Supreme Court smacked her down), still, it most likely won't be enough.

Otherwise, again, it's time for these guys...

"George III was but a boy stealing a peach from your lunch..."

"...by comparison with our plumed and puffed liberty-thieves and governors."

So writes Anthony Esolen in an article here at American Greatness. Good article, and a lot of quotes from ol' Herman Melville. But of course the doom for the U.S. was written on the wall at the beginning. "Liberty" was a false god, a sort of pied piper leading its adherents along the famous "primrose path" until boom, disaster befell them. Esolen writes eloquently (when does he not?) :

"We need not confine ourselves to the legal. There is also the customary. Free men honor the good and wise, the benefactors of their nation. Slaves toady to the famous. Free men make their own entertainment. Servile men are content to consume it ready-made. Free men seek out the dangerous space, as Melville sought out the sea. Servile men demand the safe space, where they may suck their thumbs. Free men fight in the open. Servile men sneak about, bear tales, attack the weak like a pack of jackals, and couch their enmity in soft and seductive slogans. Free men raise their own children. Servile men submit their children to be raised by others. Free men take their pedigrees from almighty God. Servile men seek out means of establishing a factitious superiority over their peers or their betters: a diploma, a bank account, a big house, a title, a special status as favored victim."

Reads like a description Cicero could have written. So we are replaying the drama the Romans lived through. What recreated Rome in the East, in Byzantium, and in the West, ultimately as the High Middle Ages, was Christianity, and not imputed-grace Protestantism but rather the Theosis-Faith of the True Church, that God became Man not merely to save us from our sins, but to elevate us as new creations in Christ (as St. Paul wrote so often and in so many ways, as did St. John). For a fascinating discussion on Theosis, the forgotten teaching of the Church, see this podcast at (rather absurdly named) "Pints with Aquinas". The theologian being interviewed is Fr. James Brent, O.P.


But America, the United States, never had that, a secure foundation on the profound teachings of Historical Christianity. Instead, the country was founded by Puritan fanatics in New England and Capitalists in Virginia, and then given a national government by the godless (James Madison, Alexander Hamilton) via a Constitutional Convention they themselves created in Philadelphia (after a failed attempt a year before – 1786 – in Annapolis). The new U. S. Constitution intentinoally left God totally out of the picture and if God is out of the picture, no "rights" of any sort can be guaranteed, and even the nature of man and the point and bounds of his life are all "up for grabs". Which, need I point out, are precisely what plague the poor country today, what with its Gay marriage imposed from above, and Tranny rights, and absolutely shocking political malfeasance.

"Liberty" is the false god, "freedom" the true one  if one understands by "freedom" the freedom to be what God intended you to be. As I have written many times, and as have others before me, we're like gasoline engines, we humans; i.e. we're like engines meant to run on gasoline, and gasoline only. Not kerosene, not diesel, not propane, not natural gas or whiskey or aviation fuel. "Liberty," that pied piper, would have one believe one can run on anything one wants. The more choices the more "liberty". Simple enough, except that it doesn't work. And when you of course, necessarily break down, when you "crash and burn", well, too bad. 

With most everyone in the U.S. now wanting to run on everything from unicorn urine to sea water, it's no wonder the country exhibits the morals that even the pagan Cicero would lament.

Amazon bans books by Dr. Joseph Nicolosi

Gay Inc. (aka Gay Mafia, Gaystapo, St. Gallen Mafia, etc.) can't have its "narrative" challenged, so one gay activist worked tirelessly to get an author (Nicolosi) banned from Amazon, until he succeeded, as the article linked to below details.

"The Left" is always doing this, of course -- shutting down speech (especially noticeable in Academia and Entertainment) and limiting, prohibiting, restricting, and of course damning, any "counter-narrative" that runs against their party line. This article has an interesting take on The Left's emotional state: 
An excerpt:
Because, in the progressive version of reality, there can be no final victory. Identity politics, like its cousin self-pity, consumes all except itself. They don’t want to win. To finally cauterize their obsession would stanch the supply that courses their veins.

I think there are plenty of them who want to win, I mean the demagogues pushing all this, and they follow their beliefs with a Jihadist fervor. They've gone far in taking over Academia and the Arts. How far can they really get, though?

However it works out, it's a constant battle, really, and the Gays are just modelling their efforts on the general Left, how the Socialists do business. Although Thomas Jefferson never said or wrote that "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance," it is a Truism.

I'm not a fan of Jefferson's, but I looked this up and had he said it, I was going to credit him with it. I found out that an Irishman came up with it, in 1790. “The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance.” This was by John Philpot Curran, not actually a Curran but a descendant of Cromwellian soldiers in Ireland. However, this Curran was a Henry Grattan-type Irish politician, defended many of the 1798 rebels in court, and opposed the Union with Great Britain in 1800. Of course, the "Deep State" of his day won out in the end. Same thing happened in 1707: the Scottish people didn't want to lose their Parliament, and there were riots in Edinburgh. The "Deep State" won out there, too. "Consent of the governed" has never been a Deep State concern. Europe seems to be the Galactic Center of the Deep State, except for China, which is its universe center.

Perhaps the most famous U.S. use of the Eternal Vigilance line was by the American Abolitionist and liberal (classical liberal) activist Wendell Phillips on January 28, 1852. Speaking to members of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, Phillips said:

    “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The manna of popular liberty must be gathered each day or it is rotten. The living sap of today outgrows the dead rind of yesterday. The hand entrusted with power becomes, either from human depravity or esprit de corps, the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continued oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot; only by unintermitted agitation can a people be sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.”

Wow, isn't that apropos of today? Truly, there is nothing new under the sun. And just as then the Democrat Party fought to keep their slaves and got their 3/5s clause in the Constitution (Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3)  to give them a larger representation in Congress (and more Electoral votes!) than they deserved, so today the Democrat Party fights to keep their Blacks down on the Asphalt Plantation, and now bring in a huge "Lumpenproletariat" underclass of illegals to do their bidding. 

So of course they have to fight to get these illegals in the Census! It's the exact same ploy as with the 3/5s clause.

Nothing ever changes. Much.

Here's the article about the Amazon book banning, and an excerpt:

In a very disturbing move, Amazon has removed the books of Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, the psychologist whom critics have dubbed “the father of conversion therapy.” In other words, for claiming that sexual orientation is not innate and immutable, and for claiming that change is possible, Dr. Nicolosi’s books must be banned.
This leads to the logical question: Will Amazon ban the Bible next? There is no hyperbole here.
After all, it is the Bible that condemns same-sex relationships and the Bible that speaks of those who once practiced homosexuality but do so no more (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). These people, today, would be known as “ex-gays.” And it was Dr. Nicolosi’s life work to help people with unwanted same-sex attractions.
Why, then, should Amazon ban his books but continue to sell the Bible, which provides the theological underpinnings for Dr. Nicolosi’s scientific work?
