Trump Says ‘Enemy From Within’ Threatens National Security

It may be more lethal than the enemy from without. 

 

By Dave Patterson Oct 15, 2024 @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Military Affairs, Opinion

Former President Donald Trump is on the hot seat with the establishment media — again. It seems he has focused in on the national security threat of an “enemy from within” the US borders, suggesting that some people in positions of authority in government, universities, and other institutions whose worldview is inimical to what Americans have fought and died to preserve are working against the best interests of the United States.

Trump Criticized for Views on Using the Military

Enemies from within is not a new concept. Americans were treated to scenes of pro-Hamas and anti-Jewish violent mobs last spring that continue today. These riots were spawned in Eastern universities and rapidly spread to the nation’s capital. Though the freedom to speak one’s mind is a sacred right, defacing and destroying public property is not. However, these acts against America’s institutions, though egregious and perpetrated by enemies of civil order, are not what Trump was pilloried for identifying.

No, the 45th president was criticized for suggesting the US National Guard and active-duty military should be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens streaming across the US southern border as a result of Biden-Harris administration policy. “He has pledged to recall thousands of American troops from overseas and station them at the US border with Mexico. He has explored using troops for domestic policy priorities such as deportations and confronting civil unrest,” the Associated Press reported. But is it testing “the limits on using the military at home,” as the AP put it?

The military has been used six times when the security of American citizens was threatened. Employing federal troops during civil unrest and domestic violence is part of the fabric of the US legal legacy nearly as old as the country itself, dating back to the Insurrection Act of 1807 and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. These laws establish how and where military forces can be used within the homeland. “When it comes to curbing civil unrest, the military has been called out on multiple occasions — and it wasn’t just the National Guard, either,” Military.com said. For Trump to suggest using the military in defense of US sovereign borders and against violence in the streets is not unprecedented.

However, the genesis of the latest uproar was a question put to Trump by Maria Bartiromo during an interview on Fox News. “How are you going to guard against the bureaucrats undermining you?” Bartiromo asked Trump. The former president answered that there are two types of enemies: Those outside, like Russia and China, and then there are the inside enemies. Trump said that external foes are easier to deal with – and that inside enemies are more dangerous than China or Russia. “The thing that’s tougher to handle are these lunatics we have inside like Adam Schiff, ‘shifty’ Schiff … I call him the enemy from within. When you look at the danger he put the country in potentially with Russia, with a phony made-up deal,” Trump said. However, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has more to account for on the debt side of the integrity ledger.

Remember, Schiff vigorously criticized then-President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for having been briefed on an American intelligence report that Russians had offered a bounty to the Taliban for killing US and coalition forces in Afghanistan. Schiff decried the president and vice president for not informing anyone of this threat. “The only problem is that the White House press secretary responded that both President Trump and VP Pence deny having ever been briefed. Furthermore, those from the intelligence community who would have done the briefing said they did not brief either of them,” Liberty Nation News reported. After days of slinging invective at the Trump administration, it was confirmed that Trump and Pence had not been briefed. “But guess who was briefed, told no one, and did nothing? And the answer is, drum roll, please … Representative Adam Schiff,” LNN revealed.

Greatest Scandal in Broadcast History

Trump explained to Bartiromo that the “single greatest scandal, in my opinion, in broadcast history” occurred recently. The former president described the CBS 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. In a deceptively edited version of the sit-down, the network took out the VP’s incomprehensible response to one question and substituted another answer to an unrelated question that sounded more cogent.

Give Cable TV the Boot – Check This Out!

Trump is making a critical point. Whether you like CBS or not, it is a network news source upon which many depend for their information. CBS represents the press, an institution the Constitution protects explicitly. One of the first attacks an effective enemy can make is to destroy the people’s confidence in their news sources. It is more than just propping up a lackluster presidential candidate. Liberty Nation News explained, “Unfortunately, little coming from inside the beltway would reveal the problems, gaffes, and missteps since the left-leaning fourth estate has become the vocal fifth-column apologists for the White House foreign policy and national security team’s failings.”

When it comes to Trump’s inclination to utilize the military domestically, The Wall Street Journal zeroed in on an answer given in the Bartiromo interview when the former US chief executive was asked if he expects chaos and violence on Nov. 5. Trump replied, “Not from the side that votes for Trump … It should be very easily handled, if necessary, by the National Guard, or, if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.” Note the caveat “if necessary.”

Whether from Antifa, Hamas supporters, or anti-American violence of any stripe, using the military to bring order is not, as AP suggested, testing limits. Nor is it an unprecedented idea.

Illegal Immigration Prospers Because None Dare Call it Treason!

"Consider the man who stands by his duty and goes to the stake rather than be recreant to it" (Mark Twain).

 

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Originally I published this article in 2014 with the title, Green Prospers Because None Dare Call it Treason!, but if you substitute green with any issue the left is pushing, the same rationale applies, and I intend to do just that, so, let's start with unrestricted illegal immigration. 

 

The title of this article is based on a quote from Sir John Harington who said “Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason[?] "For if it prosper, none dare call it treason”.  It seems to me that Harington was explaining how important it is that treason must be defined and called to account for what it is in order to prevent the success of traitors.  

 

Because if their treason should prosper - none can dare risk calling it treason any longer – that opportunity would have passed because the traitors are now in charge! But what if everyone stood up and called treason for what it is?  Would it prosper in the end?  Possibly, but the first stepping stone to clarity is the ability to properly define what constitutes treason.  Can we recognize treason when we see it?  And that’s the key isn’t it?  Defining treason – for without definition there’s no clarity, and there’s so much of it these days it’s hard to separate treason from opinion.  Let’s explore this!

 

Normally we associate treason with “the betrayal of allegiance or acts of disloyalty or treachery toward one's own country or its government” in an “attempt to overthrow the government”, especially by "committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts”.   It also involves efforts to “impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance”.   But the very foundation of what constitutes treason reaches far beyond that.  It’s a betrayal of  trust, confidence or faith.   We’ll expand on that later. 

Treason is such an ugly word.  It imputes so many ugly negative qualities to a person.  It means being a collaborator with the enemies of one’s society, embodying qualities such as cowardice, disloyalty, subversion, dishonesty, double crossing, being a sellout, knavery, a lack of fidelity and moral character.  Traitors work against the common good of the people whose habits, language and garb and common culture they share, while slyly working what is harmful to their associates, friends and even family.

 

Treason is an ugly word - but it fits for what it means to be green.

History is the fountain head of truth, and truth once spoken remains truth forever, we just have to keep making ourselves acquainted with it – regularly – or we forget what it is and can be easily swayed by every new philosophical flavor of the day!   I’ve used this quote often in the past attributed to Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 -43 BCE) , which is unendingly profound, even after 2000 years.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

(Editor's Note:  While there's controversy as to whether he said it or not, but so what.  The thoughts resonate with logical and intellectually vibrancy, no matter who said them! RK)

 

Can any crime be feared more? 

People typically need some sort of intellectual justification to support and explain their actions, and yet often times the positions they take has nothing to do with intellectual reasoning.  Very often they do what they do because it makes them feel good, or enhances their position in society.  But what are the underlying forces the makes so many – from all over the world - want to embrace "unrestricted immigration”?

This is a multi-faceted problem requiring a multi-faceted answer.  There is a growing alliance between the media, the wealthy left,  academia, activist bureaucrats, unscrupulous politicians and people who believe they can “do business” more cheaply, and these misfits have been misleading the public for decades with claptrap such as "diversity is our strength".  When in reality all this so-called multiculturalism is our demise.  National suicide. 

This cabal has become a hegemony that’s linked to instruments of state power all over the world, undermining the health and welfare of human societies with the theme of  "saving our Democracy", when in reality their democracy is communism.  

If you think embracing this insanity gives you a warm fuzzy feeling of self-righteousness – get over it because you’re dancing with the Devil!  When you dance with the Devil, you won’t call the tune, you won’t pick the dance and you may not be able to leave the dance floor.  And you will be party to treason - not to any government - but to the human family itself.  A family to which we're all a part.  A family we owe loyalty to from birth.   

Government officials take an oath in the United State to "support and defend the Constitution", which means supporting the concepts as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, which are the logical foundation of our "unalienable rights". 

Everything the left promotes, and everything it stands for is antithetical to those rights and concepts and any public official supporting all this illegal and uncontrolled immigration is guilty of treason against this nation, and against humanity, and if public officials are guilty of treason for supporting this movement can we be any less culpable if we support them?  

 

Let's start with the UK where we're seeing those daring to call it treason via protests, and even riots, and a government that's committed to protecting the immigrant population, Muslims, who've been raping, murdering, and robbing the Brits with a large degree of immunity for "fear of being called racist".  And this leftist government didn't start all that, the Tories, the socalled conservative party of Britain, their RINO's, started that insane activity a long time ago, the Labour party is merely worse.  

 

Protect the criminals, and through those protesting their criminality into jail.  What could possibly go wrong? 

KGB Defector's 1984 Prophecy: The Unsettling Accuracy of Yuri Bezmenov's Predictions-  These laws are usually selectively enforced to move society further into an ideologically communist state. For example, Muslims are brought into the West in significant numbers and then act violently toward those who criticize or mock their religion. In response, the state enacts “hate-speech” laws meant to prevent the public from inciting a reaction from Muslims. This shifts the blame from those who act violently to those who say things Muslims typically respond to with violence. This represents a fundamental shift from another core concept of Western culture: that the truth is always an absolute defense. This principle has now been diminished to barely a memory in current legal practice. 

Moreover, this shift affects how Western thought views agency, or where responsibility lies in culture and law for a given set of actions. The person who said something true but offensive to Muslims is deemed guilty, while the person who reacted violently is seen as innocent. This is similar to how, in Islam, a woman can be considered guilty of being raped because something about her behavior supposedly encouraged the rapist. The agency, or the guilt, has shifted from the perpetrator to the victim. These same hate speech laws, which forbid criticism of certain religions or groups, are rarely if ever, applied to people who criticize Western religions or groups or white people whose philosophy supports individualism or Western Civilization as it has been for centuries until recently. 

This pattern of subversion is evident in many Western countries, where governments have simultaneously adopted similar restrictions on liberties to address problems they themselves have created. In other words, they create the problem fully aware of its consequences, then use those consequences to justify enacting policies that consolidate power away from the individual and toward the state..............

In Politics, There Are No Coincidences

By Rich Kozlovich

I think anyone who's ever watched one of the many crime shows that have appeared on TV have heard the hero say:  I don't believe in coincidences.  Well, we know in the real world that's not true so why do they say it?  Because more often than not in a criminal investigation it is true.  And that's because the  parameters are much more narrow than life over all.  There are fewer characters or circumstances involved, ergo, the potential for coincidental occurrences is less, and in the professional lives of those who deal with criminal activity find over and over again, there are no coincidences.  

Well, that also true in politics, especially geopolitics.  In a world with over seven billion people we find there are actually very few real power brokers, and they talk, they plan, they scheme, they organize, and they implement their schemes in order to impact humanity, and when it's done at that level, it's overwhelming good for a small, wealthy and powerful elite, but not for the overall good of humanity.  

As Charles Martel notes the in Canada Free Press:

All and everything is a continual storm of Chaotic Chaos, thundering down from every direction drowning and smothering us in a toxic sludge from which there is no escape. From Law and Order, to Economic Strength and Individual Freedom, all of it, everything we’ve known, expected, took for granted and assumed was an inherited right is daily eroded. What was once a nation resembles nothing so much as a pot of rancid garbage shoved down a cannon barrel and fired into a brick wall.  Hope is hard to see, let alone to come by...

As I've watched this attack on SCOTUS playing out I've kept a file on all this because I knew there was a much bigger story to be told than just the attack on Clarence Thomas.  But let's start with the left's outrageous attack on Justice Thomas, who I think has been the finest sitting SCOTUS jurist in my lifetime, and I'm 78.

As a side bar, for years everyone kept declaring the Thomas was Justice Scalia's follower.  Don't believe it.  I read his book, My Grandfather's Son, and then I followed his actions on the court over the years and if anyone was following anyone.  Scalia was following Thomas.

Thomas is a justice to be feared by the left, and done so in the most hateful and rabid manner.  Why? Well, he actually can tell the difference between a man and a woman, believes the Constitution is what is says and not what some jurist thinks it should say, and the government works for the people not the other way around.   That sort of unwokeness just cannot be tolerated. Especially from a black man in a powerful position who just won't live on the Democrat plantation. 

 "The bitter truth is that the ‘Long March’ worked! It took time, but now we face this massive challenge of how to root it out of our federal, state, and local governments, along with our military, universities, media, school boards, etc.................Destroy the middle class, render impotent parental rights, isolate the church as a spewer of hate and intolerance, render ineffective the rule of law, demean the history and the Constitution of these United States. In concert with global elites, the media elite, and the toxic leftist bilge that is constantly oozing from their seats of power, they are doing just that."

Wade, the Chevron Doctrine, WOTUS,and establishing vital Constitutional values such as Presidential Immunity, which the left is against that, at least since it applies to a Republican.  

If a Democrat is involved, then watch the worm turn because a Democrat President must be above prosecution.  Consistency, honesty, integrity, and character is a real problem for the left, but it's the Republicans who are weird!  Imagine that!

We have to recognize when the left is being scandalize for their corruption and incompetence, the media will come to their rescue and create a "scandal" for their opponents, no matter how inconsequential or even false it may be in order to refocus the public's attention, since the public's attention span is stunningly short. 

We need to always remember when it comes to the media, nothing is ever as it appears, there are no coincidences, and everything must be questioned, no matter what it involves. 

Fear Is the Explanation

By Rich Kozlovich 

I've said in the past I believe in historical cycles, and to a degree events, in a general way, are predictable and explicable.  What we're seeing today has a lot of history behind it. 

What we have here are the consequences of a long cycle from the 1890's until now, actually until about 25 years ago, and now the steam has built up to the point of explosion.   Americans now know they've been lied to, badly!!  The nation knows the education system is corrupted.  The nation is now acutely aware the federal, state, and local governments are out of control.  The nation is now aware spending has placed America in deep economic trouble.  The nation is now aware all the scare mongering the activists and leftists in government unending promote is a lie.  The nation is now aware the motive behind all this is to create a tyrannous form of world governance, and the elimination of the United States Constitution.  

 

It's not just the history buffs and writers who are aware this any longer. Those who are becoming aware are growing exponentially.  And in America, that means something.

 

In the 1890's the socialists started the take over of public education, they called themselves progressives to hide who and what they really were, atheistic socialists.  Both  andsupported their motives and goals, believing the "apple should fall as far away from the tree as possible".  The state, not the parents, and not the churches would be the ultimate arbiter of morality.   They both believed the Constitution was an impediment to human progress, and promoted the idea of an educated elite ruling the world.  Both subscribed to the idea "I am the state", and both acted accordingly.  Wilson's fascist takeover of the federal government didn't end until Harding was elected, and Coolidge dismantled it.   

 

It was reconstructed by FDR's New Deal, with many of the same operatives under Wilson heading up all these new agencies he created, all of which became infiltrated by communist agents, and we know that for sure since the release of the VENONA intercepts.  The FDR administration was the most heavily infiltrated government in the history of the world, and FDR had to know it.  The residual effects are still being felt. 

 

 There were only three conservative Presidents in the 20th century, Harding, Coolidge, and Reagan, and I've stated often that Calvin Coolidge was the greatest of the them all.   Sixteen years of conservative government and 84 years of varying degrees of progressive government, and if you include this century, it amounts to 20 years out of the last 124, and the lasting damage of one hundred an four years of "progressivism" may not be repairable, since "it's no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption."

Machiavelli outlined there were only two groups.  The ruling class, and the ruled.  The ruling class only want to maintain their privileges, and get more, and the ruled only want security, the ability to house, clothe, and feed their families, in safety.  

 

According to him if either group feels threatened as a group, governments fall.  But we find that's not always right away, and with total control of the instruments of propaganda, maybe never, as is true of N. Korea.  

But America isn't N. Korea, and the Machiavellian principle applies here.   The ruling elite are in fear as the ruled are now aware, and are resisting the crushing domination of their lives, and these leftists and elitists are resisting, destroying the rule of law, for political gain, and promoting violence, and if they don't get their way, they're threatening violence.

 

SCOTUS is over turning past decisions that gave unelected bureaucrats unconstitutional power over society, and the "elite" are using the same old vile tactics that's been in place since Julius Caesar destroyed the Roman Republic, which led to a multi-year civil war, to overcome these events.

 

Europe's recent elections are farce.  Culture is king, and the entire European culture is predicated on an elite ruling class, and the French are the most hypocritical of them all.  They love their class distinction, and find ways to incorporate it while claiming otherwise.  The French Revolution merely changed who the elite were to be.  But even in Europe, it's still all about three hots and a cot.  Security!  And they're now finally afraid, very afraid, and rightly so.  These socialistic rulers have placed the European culture in serious jeopardy of extinction bowing to Muslim invaders, they're calling immigrants, a problem that's now become a crisis for the continuation of Western civilization. 

 

First Rule of Geopolitics: All geopolitics is about four factors, geographics, demographics, economics, and that most elusive factor of all, the happiness factor.  These elites are clueless about the happiness factor because they don't care. They've decided the masses don't need to be happy, just obedient, own nothing and eat bugs, and society had better like it or else.   Now the masses are afraid, and are willing to fight the "obey and like it or else" battle.

 

The Homestead strike in 1892 at Carnegie Steel was caused by Carnegie cutting wages.   At that point the workers felt they have nothing to lose and struck, and it ending up being a war and people died.  When fear permeates a society it's because they now believe there's nothing left to lose, and things explode.

 

Fear, that's the cause.  Fear, that's the explanation.  And fear will have it's effect. 

Who Will Man the Walls?

A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.  The abandoned Honor Code of West Point.

By Rich Kozlovich 

I originally published this on September 5, 2022.  Given the total disintegration of values in the Democrat party with its complete capitulation to leftist insanity, and the total corruption of of all the Departments and agencies of the federal government, it still resonates.  If a republic collapses, can it ever right itself again?  

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.” - Mike Vanderboegh 

Enjoy.

I subscribe to the non-paid version of Common Sense with Bari Weiss, and some it's pretty good, some of it's liberal, but it's worth a look or two on occasion.  Weiss resigned as an editor from the New York Times because as liberal as she was, and is, she just wasn't Woke.  And if you're sane, at some point, you can't possibly be Woke enough to avoid the outraged criticism from the most extreme elements of that human plague, that Temple of the Church of Wokeness, Twitter!  

There are no boundaries on the left, and outrage expressed by one insane Wokester on Twitter can destroy a leftist's career.   Real conservatives who are attacked kind of smile, snort and move on for two reasons.  An attack by these loons is a point of honor and evidence they must be doing something right.  And real conservatives totally understand there's no appeasing these misfits, which is why the left keeps getting more radical and the right appears to become more conservative.   

One of the articles that appeared in Common Sense that I thought was worth some time was, The Origins of Woke, with the subtitle, A forgotten satirical book form the nineties predicted cancel culture, by Phoebe Maltz Bovy saying: 

The front cover of the dictionary shows a man, a woman, and a dog, each affixed with labels such as “hair disadvantaged” (he’s balding), “woman of noncolor” (she’s white), and “nonhuman animal companion” (it’s a shaggy dog). None of them, though especially the woman and the dog, would be out of place in a 2022 farmers market. (Again: cyclical fashions.)

The back cover bears a warning: “Be sensitive or else!,” with the follow-up, “Welcome to the nineties. But you better watch what you say. If you’re not politically correct, not even your pet—oops, your animal companion—will love you anymore.”

 Beard’s author bio begins, “Although Henry Beard is a typical product of elitist educational institutions and a beneficiary of a number of negative action programs, he has struggled to overcome his many severe privileges.” And Cerf’s: “Christopher Cerf is a melanin-impoverished, temporarily abled, straight, half-Anglo-, half-Jewish-American male.” 

Privilege disclaimers in the early 1990s! I had to have it.

Her conclusion is that wokeness is political correctness, and political correctness is wokeness which I think is a bit of a duh!  However it demonstrates the fact the left is like rust, it never sleeps, always changing the same old nostrums in ways to make them look new and enticing, and have been doing this forever. 

Kevin Freeman writes this is part of the plan that has been decades in the making.  A plan "to take down the greatest obstacle to totalitarianism the world has ever known: the United States of America."  He makes the point these leftist "elites are neither incompetent nor insane. They are evil, and they are freedom’s enemies." While I agree this is their plan, and has always been their plan, I disagree about their competence or their sanity. No rational competent person could possibly subscribe to such insanity.  They're just evil. 

The reason I said the right "appears" to be more conservative is because the left keeps getting more and more openly radical, so even if conservatives are merely standing still they automatically appear more conservative and moving more to the right.  But real conservatives who steadfastly defied the left for decades are already "the right", and can go no further because conservatism, unlike leftism, has boundaries, it's just that more people are joining them there.  In principle conservatives believe it's fundamental that society must not "lie, steal, cheat or tolerate those who do".  I'll tell you what.  We'll come back to that.

Clarity can only be achieved through definition, which Stephan Helgesen does very well in his article, The Rise of the Unprincipled Left, saying:

 Let's start with traditional conservatives.  By traditional, I am referring to a set of values that have transcended many generations.  Some of them are love of country, respect for authority and the rule of law, trust in our institutions, belief in personal accountability, fidelity to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, trust in our courts (and juries) to fairly adjudicate the cases before them and mete out appropriate punishment to the guilty, confidence in our schools and teachers to educate our children passionately but objectively, respect for our military service members and law enforcement organizations for the dangerous jobs they do, and many more, not the least of which are found in the Christian Ten Commandments.

In the past, those core values have been the touchstone we would go to when we were wrestling with a thorny question.  Would our opinion track with our basic values?  In short, could we look at ourselves in the mirror and say, "Yes, that is my belief, and I will defend it because I am a principled person"?

Now the left:

The left's world is dominated by, as I've stated, a belief in situational dependency coupled with might makes right.  Leftists eschew actual democracy and fear free speech.  They see the forced imposition of their cultural views as a holy crusade, and if anyone dares question that crusade's legitimacy, he is summarily banned, doxxed, de-platformed, ostracized from polite society, vilified, and fired from his job — or accused of being a white supremacists, misogynist, homophobe, right-wing extremist, or domestic terrorist.  Leftists have no qualms about offering up the names of the "opposition" to the media and to municipal, state, or federal authorities for later prosecution or persecution.

The left is unprincipled, period!  It is now, it has always been, and it will always be unprincipled because principles require a stable moral foundation, a touchstone for what we do, what we think and what we work to bring into being.  

The only morality of the left is a morality of the moment.  A morality that can and will shift as the need arises.  They are the "ultimate carpetbaggers — unscrupulous opportunists who would betray anyone and anything to feather their own nests".  And that means do anything to take and hold power over the masses, no matter who has to be sacrificed, and since the French Revolution they've sacrificed over millions of people.  The American left was able to hide who and what they are better in the past. No longer. 

Their claims of "defending our democracy" is a clever rhetorical ruse since they clearly hate "our Republic", which they unendingly work to undermine and ultimately eliminate by destroying the foundation of America's Democratic Republic.  The Constitution.  

We saw that during the false covid pandemic where societies went along with these ridiculous mandates, much of which was imposed by unelected bureaucrats.  These sheep then turned on those who saw these mandates for what they were and refused to bend the knee to this power grab, dehumanizing them and smugly, arrogantly and self righteously approved of granting unconstitutional powers to police which allowed them to abuse the unmasked and unvaccinated.   

This wasn't accidental.  It was deliberate, it was unconstitutional, "it was planned" and it was implemented to impose tyranny on America.  It's time we get that's part of "the plan".  It's time for those who see these things for what they are to have the courage to stand and be counted, no matter how many slings and arrows are flung in their direction.

The cadets of West Point were referred to as that Long Gray Line.   A Long Gray Line that once had an adhered to, and respected, "Honor Code" that said "A Cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do", with the motto "Duty, Honor, Country", creating an "unchanging path of discipline needed by an individual to follow" and "to lead with character, abide by the Honor Code, and live above the common level of life in order to be leaders of the nation."  

But when society has eschewed the concept of honor that lack is transmitted into every field of endeavor, including West Point, which was demonstrated with the cheating scandal at West Point and how the administration at West Point watered down that code in the way they handled it.  In times past each and every one of those cadets would have been expelled. 

Recent events have demonstrated senior officers, many graduates of West Point, have abandoned all of that, including the Secretary of Defense.  When the people leading those who are supposed to be the defenders of a nation lack honor, and promote those who are equally lacking, who will man the walls and tell the nation, "no one will harm you on my watch"? 

Over the weekend I watched Midway, the 2019 version and it was just as inspiring this time as it was the last time.  Watch it and ask yourself: 

If that's who we were, who are we now?  

This movie depicts another generation. This movie shames the current generation.

The Election and Terrorist Events: A Where and When Assessment

"Chaos demands to be recognized and experienced before letting itself be converted into a new order.”

I previously assessed that the “left” had essentially taken control of the administrative state with support from educational and cultural institutions reinforced by media. Their final push for the “fundamental transformation of America,” as opined by Mr. Obama, through the introduction of DEI & CRT into all aspects of the Executive Branch, including the military. This HR technique would allow for the purging of all federal employees not part of their cabal of post-constitutionalists., with the remaining employees being participants in the “movement.” 

Their plan was interrupted with the election of President Trump, so he and his supporters had to go at all costs, including threats of financial ruin, incarceration, the jailing of Mr. Trump, Catholics, and MAGA American citizens all who were newly defined as “domestic terrorists.” But would they be willing to cause Intentional acts of terrorism?

To my chagrin, my confidence has grown that my assessment of a major event occurring upending the November presidential election results will occur. I continue to assess that FBI Director Christopher Wray will be at the center of the final election results, essentially picking our next president. He is already taking center stage testifying ad infinitum that “all the red lights are blinking” at the FBI concerning a terrorist event!

When: My assessment includes my belief that the Obama/Biden cabal will stop at nothing to make sure any Democrat is elected president in November; any means will justify the ends! I suggest that an event will occur between October 17 and November 5, 2024, October 17 being early voting in some states. No matter what the event is in truth, it will be deemed a terrorist attack thus moving investigative jurisdiction to Christopher Wray’s FBI already proven to be post constitutionalists. Mr. Wray will send agents loyal to him and the admin-state who will conclude that just enough votes were disrupted in the swing state(s) to give the Democrats an electoral college victory.

Where: The event will occur in a state that seems a “toss-up” with close polling between the candidates. The number of electoral votes will also be a factor depending upon what the “left” feels it needs to prevail. To this end, there may be multiple “events” in more than one of these “toss-up” states to assure their electoral college vote count victory to be determined by the FBI. Today’s polling suggests, the most likely states for an “election event” are Virginia (13) votes, Minnesota (10), Pennsylvania (19), Michigan (15), or Wisconsin (10).

Don’t agree with my assessment, too far-fetched? How many Antifa and BLM rioters have been arrested versus Trump associates, Praying Grandmothers at Abortion clinics, and MAGA Americans held in solitary for years? They haven’t even found the guy who left a pipe bomb at campaign headquarters in Washington D.C. Let me relate a story from WWII for those who can’t get their heads around a government turning against its own people.

In 1942, Nazi occupied France rounded up 76,000 Jews, men, women, and children. They separated fathers from their families, then the mothers from their 12-year-old and below children. Most the adults were sent to Auschwitz Concentration Camp where most of them perished. These Jews were French citizens! They weren’t rounded up and processed by the Nazis, they were rounded up by the French state police under orders from French elected officials. 

French police registering Jews.

Under the radical Biden Administration, the Department of “Justice,” and the FBI have been rounding up Conservatives, MAGA or Catholic, incarcerating thousands deeming any adversary to their agenda a domestic terrorist, using the “Patriot Act” as their authority.

It usually seems extreme when people make comparisons to the activities of the Nazis; however, at-a-glance it seems, Joe and Adolph have a lot in common. Both are apostate Catholics, both engaged in “disappearing” Jews, albeit in different ways, while striking fear into the hearts of those who dare defy their agendas.

Remember, Joe Biden is the one who said a small “incursion” by Russia into Ukraine wouldn’t be so bad. It seems an easy “mental” step for him to believe a couple of “minor” terrorist events is but a “small” price to pay to complete the fundamental transformation of America. The reelection of Donald J Trump puts them and their plans in peril.

Recalling Mr. Hesse’ quotation, chaos is now being recognized and experienced. All that’s left is to see what “new order” evolves. Christopher Wray may be that change-agent. His legacy may be enshrined alongside that of Benedict Arnold as he counts ballots determining the next President of the United.

During the 1775 Revolutionary War, a Squadron of six schooners was commissioned by President George Washington to fly one of our first flags depicting a pine tree the traditional symbol of New England with the sentiment “An Appeal to Heaven,” or “An Appeal to God.”

A national “Appeal to God” is our heritage found in the Constitution and if done today by we all God may save our nation once again!

The Left’s Plot Against George Washington

Daniel Greenfield  @ Sultan Knish Blog 

 

In Portland, the BLM mob toppled a statue of George Washington. Four years later, local leftist activists and officials have continued sabotaging efforts to restore it again. In New York City and Chicago, officials have discussed removing statues of Washington. And the Father of our Country isn’t even safe at the University of Washington where calls to remove him continue.

But the War on Washington isn’t just a recent phenomenon.

The Left didn’t want until George Washington was a statue to topple him. Newspapers like The National Gazette, The Philadelphia Aurora and The New York Time Piece, which were the vanguard of the emerging Democratic-Republican party, depicted him being led to the guillotine.

Democrats today claim that they oppose George Washington because he was a slave owner, but why did Democrats who were not only slave owners then but defended slavery (unlike Washington who favored liberating slaves and whose Washington Benevolent Societies were the organizing network for black conservative voters in the 1800s ) oppose him then?

Long before their relatively recent interest in organizing black people, American leftists were great enthusiasts of the French Revolution and favored bringing it to this country. My book, ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, reveals how the Democrats got their start as the “French Party” built around “Democratic Societies” modeled on French radical Jacobin clubs and set up with the aid of foreign emissaries of the French Revolution.

George Washington’s great crime in the eyes of the leftists of his day was his refusal to turn over America to the forces of the French Revolution which was the USSR of its day. “Ten thousand People in the Streets of Philadelphia, day after day, threatened to drag Washington out of his House, and effect a Revolution in the Government, or compell it to declare War in favour of the French Revolution,” John Adams would later remember.

French Foreign Minister Charles Delacroix had urged Citizen Pierre-Auguste Adet, the French ambassador, to “use all means in his power to bring about a successful revolution, and Washington’s replacement.”

Washington, always a fighter, would not take the leftist campaign against him lying down.

In his address to Congress, President George Washington had warned of the threat of “certain self-created societies.” By those he meant the Democratic Societies. In a private letter he even more explicitly described how “these societies were instituted by the artful & designing members (many of their body I have no doubt mean well, but know little of the real plan),” by an agent of the French government “under popular and fascinating guises, the most diabolical attempts to destroy the best fabric of human government.” The Democratic Societies, he warned, were created to “sow Sedition; to poison the minds of the people of this country.”

First Lady Abigail Adams later wrote at the height of the crisis that, “France has setled her plan of subjugating America” through “Agents and Emissaries, whom with truth & reason she bosts of having thickly scatterd through our Country, saving her Principles, her depravity of Manners, her Atheism in every part of the united States” so that “she will seduce the mind & sap the foundation of our strongest pillars, Religion & Government.”

“And if there be a Nation on Earth capable of going the necessary lengths, and making the proper Sacrifices to stop its course,—it must be one that is already possesed of substantial Liberty, that knows how to appreciate it, & how to distinguish between it, and that Sort of Liberty which France is trying to propogate throughout the World.”

That “sort of liberty” with its depravity, as opposed to American liberty, was the Left.

And in ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, I describe the rise of the American Left and its violent and treasonous plots against Washington and America.

Despite the threats and attacks, George Washington not only refused to give in to the Left, but five years away from death and suffering from arthritis and hearing loss, he became the first and last president to lead troops in the field when he rode out to confront the Whiskey Rebellion.

“We are ready for a state of revolution and the guillotine of France,” the leader of the Mingo Creek Democratic Society had declared. But the guillotine proved no match for George.

Washington rode out with the troops because he feared that America was on the verge of falling to “mob or Club government” under which “there can be no security for life—liberty—or Property”. While Washington won the battle, he earned the undying enmity of the Democrats.

In his Farewell Address on leaving office, George Washington warned about the “mischiefs of the spirit of party” which “opens the door to foreign influence and corruption”.

Both the French and their leftist allies in America were furious at Washington’s message.

“If ever there was a period for rejoicing, this is the moment,” the Philadelphia Aurora responded. “This man who is the source of all the misfortunes of our country is this day reduced to a level with his fellow citizens.”

Adet, the French ambassador, sent a copy of the Farewell Address to his government while raging against “the lies it contains, the tone of insolence”. Adet and the French regime launched a campaign of naval terror “to arouse the attention of the public at the moment of choosing the electors who must choose the President.” The campaign was treasonously coordinated “with our friends in Congress” who, according to Adet, “only saw me last winter in secret.”

But attempting to terrorize Americans backfired badly. Adams responded to French attacks on American ships with the Quasi-War and Jefferson refused to end America’s neutrality.

Nonetheless the Democratic Societies influenced the new Democratic-Republican Party and American leftists continued to dream of bringing the French Revolution to these shores.

A toast at the Democratic Society of Philadelphia envisioned France’s revolutionary movement spreading until it will “have the whole earth for its area, and the arch of heaven for its dome.”

That mission outlived George Washington and the French Revolution. It continued on through European revolutions, the Communist takeover of the Soviet Union and it still continues today.

That is why leftists really want Washington to fall.

'Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against The Left' is now out.
