"If the Court please, I wish to use the words of Justice [Louis] Brandeis dissenting in Olmstead [v. United States] to speak for me. He wrote, 'Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.' That's all I have."--Timothy McVeigh, bomber of the Murrah Federal Building, in Oklahoma. The bombing was a response to the FBI Waco massacre of Branch Davidians and their children. (Wikipedia)
Trump has been indicted! The mug shot has gone all over the world! To many, this is just a fight over the 2020 election, but the Georgia indictment is proof the far left, embedded in the Deep State, is out to criminalize the Republican Party as well as conservatives and make them outlaws. Doubts? Many moons ago, I had asked Congressman Bacon about how the administrative state had made outlaws of so many organizations I contribute to. He did not understand the question which has led to my lack of memory of his response. Thus this essay.
James O’Keefe of Project Veritas has had his brushes with the law. I donated to Project Veritas from day one and his new OMG business. The FBI came to his home to search for a Biden diary (https://nypost.com/2021/11/06/james-okeefe-apartment-raided-as-part-of-probe-into-ashley-bidens-stolen-diary/). He had been charged before on other supposed crimes (https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/james-okeefe-and-friends-plead-guilty-in-mary-landrieu-office-caper/article_99fb784b-b4b1-5571-935b-c325c57d3f6a.html) and is now under another charge (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/08/james-okeefe-under-investigation-project-veritas). The knives are out for conservatives.
Brandon Straka became a Trump supporter. I donated to his Walk Away Campaign. Straka showed up at the US Capital on January 6 and went to jail (https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/straka-brandon). Yet he never entered the Capital building or posed any credible threat.
Have you heard of Simone Gold of America's Frontline Doctors (https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org)? I gave to her organization to fight COVID restrictions. Not only was she defamed, but she also went to prison for being on Capital grounds reading a paper out loud on January 6 (https://abcnews.go.com/US/dr-simone-gold-leading-anti-vax-figure-sentenced/story?id=85445732).
Dinesh D’Souza, a prolific writer of books and movies, also went to jail over idiotic campaign finance laws (https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/newyork/news/press-releases/dinesh-dsouza-sentenced-in-manhattan-federal-court-to-five-years-of-probation-for-campaign-finance-fraud). President Trump pardoned him. I have bought and read D’Souza books and movies, including 2,000 Mules.
Have you heard of True the Vote (https://www.truethevote.org/)? Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote proved ballot harvesters were collecting ballots and dropping off ballots in batches. They were charged with a crime and imprisoned for defending election integrity for their accusations against a company with connections with China (https://www.truethevote.org/statement-on-the-release-of-catherine-engelbecht-and-gregg-phillips/). This appeared to be an attempt to discourage donations and further investigations of the flawed election systems in the USA.
Putin has invaded Ukraine. Would the US State Department convince President Biden to give up on Ukraine if Russia turned over Edward Snowden to US authorities? The USA loves to proclaim to be a beacon of freedom, especially political freedom, but in this instance, it has given a Russian dictator all the cards in the game. Like the past Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, Snowden has continually advocated for privacy from government snooping. Snowden is a hero but he is stuck in Russia due to the oligarchs of the Deep State (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-Snowden).
But it does not end there. The continuing saga of Julian Assange is out there (https://assangedefense.org/ and https://assangedao.org/). Like any journalist with government documents, he exposed them, and in this case on the internet at Wikileaks (https://wikileaks.org/). Some consider Assange and Snowden as dangerous traitors to the US government, but the USA was founded with a strong premise of very limited government. These men need to be able to go home and live freely. Whatever offense they caused anyone, the offense is just too old and unworthy of prosecution now and they have suffered enough. The time has come to move on.
Now, the mug shot of Trump is floating all over the internet. The result has been outrage as people take the "I am Spartacus" outrage (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-am-spartacus). Our good friend Matt Johnson of Right Cheer (http://rightcheer.com/) took to echoing the moment! He is doing what so many are doing. He is right to do so! We need to stand up!
Of these events, what is not being told is at least one man is sitting in jail over the Trump Georgia indictment. Harrison Ford, director of Black Voices for Trump, is sitting in jail (https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/former-black-voices-for-trump-director-still-in-jail-as-others-post-bond-in-fulton-case-records-5480778). Dare anyone say Black lives matter? Definitely not this one according to the State of Georgia.
The Progressives and Marxist Left will break every law to take Trump down. This is what fascism actually is. Even the Devil must have an advocate.
The evidence is clear. If you are going to be conservative and defend what is right, you have to be willing to fight and do so fiercely. We have entered an era of civil war.
This same party started the last civil war. Democrats love 2 things - war and slavery. These loves are the result of their divisiveness and human ownership gene.
There were many Patriots protecting the cattle ranch of Clive Bundy in Nevada where then Senator Harry Reid wanted to take the ranch under eminent domain and sell it to China so they can put up a solar panel farm, out of 10 Cattle Ranch owners 9 Ranchers caved and was run off their land and Clive Bundy stood up to them with the help of Patriots from all over the Country. I had a friend of mine who ended up spending 6 1/2 years in Federal Prison for being on his ranch to protest the unlawful land grab.
