The constitutional republic created by our founders no longer exists. Most everyone on the Right seems to agree with that—though we differ about how deep the rot is, and whether we are now living under a new regime that is essentially different in kind, not merely degree.
Ellmers “offer[s] some ideas about what has not changed, which might provide some grounds for optimism”, including “human nature”! But with that section of his article I disagree. I don’t think human nature or anything else he points to provides grounds for optimism. Quite the contrary.
Very good summation of where we are now - basically a Potemkin village, Kabuki theater version of a Constitutional Republic plastered over what amounts to the very definition of Fascism.
And I agree with you that the hope offered for a way out of this is weak at best.
To repair what’s wrong in our own, now fascist, system, we also must deal with the power already held over it by the globalist oligarchy and the CCP.
When all this is taken into account, our attempts to fix the problem seem about as useful an exersize as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
In a prisoner exchange, Russia got back an arms dealer, the US got back an America-hating drug addict.
The US government could have insisted on getting back an innocent Marine, Paul Whelan, who has been imprisoned in Russia for four years. The Biden negotiators preferred to get the America-hating drug addict, Brittney Griner.
“Given this administration’s track record, it’s not lost on people that Brittney Griner is a gay black woman who took a knee during the playing of the national anthem and Paul Whelan is a straight white male who served his nation, a factor that likely doesn’t bode well for the Marine.”
“People” may take note of this, but how many care? A huge majority? Or a tiny minority?
Quote:
Biden carried out the swap on Thursday for Griner who had been detained in Russia since February on drug charges for possessing less than half a gram of hash oil. In return, the United States released one of the most dangerous men on the planet, an arms dealer named Viktor Bout, who was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to kill Americans.
So that’s the guy that Joe Biden just sprung from prison, the international arms dealer who’s arming terror groups and drug cartels.
Whelan was detained in Russia in 2018 for alleged spying [which he denies] when he attended a friend’s wedding there. He was given 16 years in a Russian hellhole.
According to Russian authorities earlier this year, there were 17 Americans in Russian prisons.
Unfortunately, they’re all the wrong race, sexuality or gender. And they’re not celebrities.
This dirty [Griner] deal is a reminder that the Biden administration is racist, and does everything for people who fit its identity politics criteria while doing nothing for those who don’t.
The government of the United States exonerates and even promotes Islamic terrorism and works closely with the Communist government of China:
Quote:
Human Rights First (HRF) was founded under the auspices of France’s Human Rights League, which historically included many Communists including Ho Chi Minh. It was one of the most extreme voices against our effort to fight the Islamic terrorists murdering us. With its own people on the inside, HRF is well positioned to dismantle our national security. The Biden administration rewarded HRF with two high-profile roles for members of its board of directors. Secretary of State Blinken, who had been the vice chair of HRF’s board of directors, was put in charge of our overall foreign policy, and Matthew G. Olsen was nominated to serve as the Assistant Attorney General for National Security for the Justice Department.
Olsen’s wife, Fern Shepard, serves on the board of trustees of the radical environmentalist group, Earthjustice. She’s also the president of Rachel’s Network, named after ecohoaxer Rachel Carson, which has worked hard to fight for illegal aliens and against border security.
Earthjustice, where Shephard was a lawyer, and Rachel’s Network, share a backer, the McIntosh Foundation, which dispenses the fortune of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. The Foundation’s ventures include ClientEarth, a legal operation claiming to represent the planet, which operates in a number of countries and collaborates with Communist China. ClientEarth boasts that they “work with China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Supreme People’s Court and other government actors to draft better laws and regulations”, claims to have “have trained 1,200 judges and prosecutors to date” and celebrates the “80,000 environmental public interest cases have been brought by Chinese prosecutors across the country in 2020 alone”.
Yes, the state of our “national security” is a joke.
The foxes - the CCP and their American collaborators - are not only in the henhouse, they’re in charge of it. As long as the Left - under the cover of Biden - remain on control, the dismantling will continue.
I will yield to and agree with the author’s ending of his article:
*Whatever depredations our ruling class may inflict on their deplorable enemies in the short term, nothing they do can alter the enduring nobility of the founders’ achievements or our ability to find inspiration and instruction in those achievements. *
If honor and virtue can still triumph, it will only be when we appreciate how needful they are. That means we have to be honest with ourselves. The first half of this essay paints a dire picture. Only by confronting and accepting the most uncomfortable truths about our lost republican heritage will we summon the necessary courage and strength to fight for its recovery.
