Dealing with the elephant in the room
The rhetoric currently being spewed by the Biden administration and the Democrats, if unchecked, can only end one way

For all the commentary that has been aired, printed and posted on what apparently is the new Democrat strategy for the midterm elections, precious little is being said about the end-game implications. It has become the elephant in the room that no one can afford to ignore for much longer.
We have all heard the warnings that Joe Biden’s speech in front of Freedom Hall in Philadelphia September 1 was very divisive, and this from a president who promised to be a “uniter” when he was running for the office in 2020.
We have also heard, in defense of his remarks, claims that “this extreme Ultra-MAGA crowd” has hijacked the Republican party and is “a threat to our democracy” ― MAGA being the common reference to President Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
These are not just words. They are far more than rhetoric. This is a president of the United States labeling his political opponents as subversive, for by what other word could someone who is allegedly a threat to democracy be described?
It is a dangerous precedent in our constitutional republic for the leader of one party to level such a serious allegation, not just against one person, but against the majority of the membership of the opposing party. It sets us on a course that can at its best result be irreparably divisive, polarizing the nation to the point of impotency in government, in society and as a nation.
At its worse result, it could end in civil war. That is not mere hyperbole. It is a very real possibility given the vitriol behind the words.
Democrats in Congress and in this administration offer up as evidence of these absurd allegations the ‘January 6 insurrection.” This is the only evidence they have of “extremism” in the Republican Party or the Trump MAGA agenda. They refer to it as an “attempted coup” to overthrown a president “duly elected by the people.”
We would ask, what kind of a coup or a revolution starts with unarmed misguided individuals egged on by one another ― and perhaps by government agents ― to … what? Wander around the seat of legislative power? Steal a podium? Sit in the Speaker’s chair? Maybe take a laptop? That last, however, has never been proven.
That is the entire depth and scope of what happened inside the Capitol that day. That is, other than the fact of one such misguided individual being cold-bloodedly murdered by a Capitol Police lieutenant who has never faced charges. Ashli Babbitt and her family are still awaiting a justice the Democrats will not give them.
The illegal entry into the Capitol was bone-headed to be sure, but an “insurrection”? Hardly. The fact is, none of that is really relevant.
What is relevant is to ask, where does this poor excuse for a political tactic lead?
Biden has thrown down a gauntlet that is impossible to pick up. Not that he hasn’t tried. The day after the infamous speech, responding to Fox News’ Peter Doocy, Biden said he didn’t “hate any Trump supporters” or those who agree with his MAGA policies.

But he immediately went on to invoke “The Insurrection” as the touch stone for his so-called warning against those whom Hillary Clinton once referred to as “a basket of deplorables,” but whom Biden has now elevated to the level of a dangerous force threatening American democracy.
The implications are frightening to consider. We must look to an historical context to understand just how frightening they may be.
As early as 1920 in post-war Germany, there was anti-Jewish sentiment. The country was crippled by international sanctions during the Great War ― later to be known as World War I ― and saddled with a war debt in The Treaty of Versailles that demanded Germany repay the countries of the world for starting the war. Germany was not only physically but economically destroyed.
Three million Germans, including 15% of the country’s male population, were dead. Germany abandoned the gold standard and printed money like Georgia Pacific makes toilet paper. In the end, that was about all it was worth. In November 1923, 42 billion marks were worth one U.S. cent. Interestingly, Germany eventually lived up to the requirements of the treaty and repaid the entire debt ― 92 years later, in 2010.
But at the time, for Germany and its ally Austria that lost the war, the dreadful carnage on the battlefield — Europe's first experience with mass man-made death — seemed to the populace of the countries to be a sacrifice made for no gain. It seemed inexplicable except by insidious internal betrayal.
A stab-in-the-back legend attributed the German and Austrian defeat in World War I to internal traitors working for foreign interests, primarily Jews and communists. This legend was widely believed and deliberately disseminated by the defeated German military leadership and Hitler’s Nazi Party. The former did so to to avoid personal consequences for their policies, the latter, for political gain.
Hyperinflation ravaged the German economy immediately after the war. The government tried but was totally ineffective at controlling raging high prices, especially for food, fuel and import goods that the treaty’s punishing sanctions put out of reach of all but the most elite rich of the nation.
The German people were angry, There was a universal need to blame someone. The Nazi Party, formed after the war by Adolf Hitler as a nationalist workers socialist party, prepared a 25-point plan to blame the Jews for all of Germany’s woes. The plan called for the segregation of the Jews from "Aryan" society and to revoke Jewish political, legal, and civil rights.
There already existed, not just in Germany but in much of Europe and the U.S., a negative stereotype of the Jewish people. Many of these false concepts continue to exist today, especially in the fringe nationalist movements around the globe.
Those beliefs included that the Jews had started the war to bring Europe financially and politically into ruin and make Europe susceptible to Jewish "control,” that the Jewish people had exploited the misery of the war to enrich themselves and prolonged it to lead the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia to further their “aim of world revolution.”
The Nazi Party ramped up the propaganda, casting the Jewish people as degenerate, inferior, and deeply flawed. They were, according to the Nazis, inherently cowardly and disloyal, predisposing them to an inability to defend the Fatherland.

Though antisemitism of this type was rampant in post-WWI Germany, the Nazi Party was the only one of several political parties to draw people espousing these views to them in great numbers. Tightening control of the newspapers and radio stations in Germany as their power grew, Hitler and the Nazi Party began putting their 25-point plan into action.
The Jews were characterized first as “a danger to the German state,” and were therefore a dangerous people who could not be trusted, who must be eliminated from society.
They spoke publicly of the dangers of the Jews, inspiring violent acts of antisemitism against the Jewish population, the most infamous being Kristallnacht on November 9-10, 1938. During that atrocity. thousands of Jewish shops and businesses across Germany were vandalized, windows broken, merchandise stolen and destroyed and Jews mercilessly beaten and even murdered.
The pretext for the demonstrations was the shooting of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath in Paris by a Polish-Jewish student on November 7. Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels urged a group of WWI veterans to make the Jews pay. The truth is, any excuse would have been sufficient, as the previous 18 years had effectively driven home the idea that the Jews were “enemies of the state.”
There are those reading this account of Nazi Germany’s demonization of the Jews who illogically ask, “How is this relevant to our situation in America right now?” If one can’t see the similarities, one is willfully blind.
Biden’s demonization of “Trumpies,” as he called them on Monday of last week, does not represent the beginning of a full-on effort by the Democrats and their media allies to undermine Donald Trump, his supporters and the Republican Party. It acutally represents the fulmination of an effort on the part of the Democrats to establish the party as the dominant political force in America ― in effect, one-party rule. It began decades ago.
The efforts were subtle at first. Ronald Reagan was “just an old actor, senile and incompetent.” George H.W. Bush was a product of the national intelligence community, not to be trusted as head of state. George W. Bush was “dumb, unable to speak intelligible English,” etc. Little of that stuck to its targets and most of it was dismissed as simple political rhetoric.
Then came the Democrats’ hope for a “return to Camelot,” as many CNN commentators gushed over Barack and Michelle Obama, referring to the aura that surrounded John and Jackie Kennedy 50 years before. This was to be the beginning of something similar to the “1,000 year reign” envisioned by the Nazis, though of course, very fair, democratic and beautiful. Of course.
Funny thing happened on the way to the Democrat Fourth Reich, however. It got interrupted by President Donald J. Trump. And immediately, an undeclared civil war began.

Democrats accused him of being an “illegitimate president” whose election was aided and abetted by Russia. The Democrats attempted to challenge several states’ electoral votes at the certification of the electoral college. Ironically, that failed effort took place four years to the day of the so-called “insurrection” last year that Democrats claim was an effort to “overthrow an election.”
Following the failed attempt to declare Trump illegitimate, a highly questionable dossier prepared by disgraced MI6 British spy Christopher Steele was leaked from the FBI to buzzfeed.com, apparently detailing weird sexual proclivities of the new president as well as clandestine meetings and a server connected directly to a Russian bank.
The Patriot Act ― passed in 2002 in response to foreign threats to U.S. security ― was suddenly deemed proper to use against a half-dozen American citizens on the Trump campaign team. That law was never intended to be used against Americans, especially Americans who stood on U.S. soil as did Page throughout most of that surveillance.
Fraudulent FISA warrants ― fraudulent because they were based on the lies of the Steele dossier ― were used four times as an excuse to extend the investigation into Carter Page, a campaign aide to the president-elect who traveled to Europe during the run-up to the election and became the FBI’s primary focus.
For two and a half years, “Russiagate” dominated the media partners of the Democrat Party ― CNN, MSNBC, the alphabet broadcast networks, The New York Times and The Washington Post. And in the end, all the investigations, all the inquiries, as well as the Mueller investigative team, came up with absolutely nothing to support the allegations.
In fact, former FBI Director Robert Mueller published a report saying there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by the president, his campaign or his administration. A battle in the undeclared civil war was lost, the Democrats’ own effort to overthrow a legitimately elected president falling by the wayside.
It didn’t take long for the Democrats to find another excuse to try to cancel Trump. The president made a phone call to Ukrainian-elect president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to congratulate him on his election. Trump also made a perfectly legitimate request that the new Ukrainian president look into the public brag of then former Vice-President Joe Biden that he got the prosecutor fired who had been looking into Burisma Energy ― and therefore Biden’s son and Burisma board member Hunter.
The Democrat-controlled House even impeached Trump over that 26-minute phone call, with absolutely zero evidence there was any wrongdoing involved. The Senate failed to convict. Another battle in the undeclared civil war was lost and the Democrats grew more desperate.
Then came the previously mentioned “insurrection” investigation, yet another effort to cancel President Trump that would not end before he left office, yet another House impeachment and yet another Senate acquittal.
Despite four years of efforts, President Trump has been untouchable. And for good reason. He and his administration have done nothing wrong.

Enter our economic crisis. The Democrats have approved and Biden has signed three pieces of legislation over the past 20 months that has added nearly $5 trillion to the national debt and launched a new inflationary spiral under the guise of COVID relief, infrastructure and (with great irony) reducing inflation.
As post-WWI Germany proved, printing money and spending it lavishly to buy sympathy and votes does nothing but cause inflation. Government cannot spend its way out of inflation because deficit-funded programs increase the money supply artificially while failing to increase the goods and services the excess money is chasing.
Facing out-of-control inflation, the Biden administration has now engaged in a two-pronged attack against President Trump and his supporters, essentially to distract from the economic crisis. It is far more sophisticated a plan than Hitler’s 25-point plan or his ensuing Final Solution ― though the results may be the same.
The first prong is Biden sending 30 FBI agents against Trump, alleging national security and classified information violations. The agents confiscated thousands of documents, some of them attorney-client privileged information as well as personal photos and mementos from other heads of state Trump received during his tenure as president.
The second prong is this newly-hatched categorization of Trump supporters as “dangers to our democracy” and “enemies of the state.” By implication, the “danger” is fomented by Donald Trump, the leader of the “Make America Great Again” movement and the object of support for the MAGA Republicans.
Whether Biden’s handlers and their fellow Democrats are aware or not ― we suspect they are very aware ― they are following the Hilterian blueprint. They are demonizing a large segment of the population ― MAGA Republicans. It is the same methodology by which the Nazis made the German Jews the accused perpetrators of the nation’s enormous depression following WWI.
Sunday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she believes a “devastating recession” is a possibility as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's interest rate hikes to bring down spending may plummet the country into a recession.
The “danger to democracy” rant, the underlying concept of Trump voters being “enemies of the state” ― all designed to demonize an electorate that holds to concepts that are attuned to a constitutional republic, not “insurrection” ― sets those of us up who support President Trump to eventually be marginalized, scapegoated and silenced.
Combine that false narrative with Yellen’s warning of economic crisis, the continuously hyped “COVID crisis” that actually is no longer a threat, and you have the makings of a situation that can only end one way: A national emergency declaration.

What would that entail? Normally, it would simply activate an action plan supervised by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designed to respond to a hurricane, flooding, perhaps even a pandemic outbreak. But is it reasonable to expect any forthcoming national emergency declaration from this president, given the circumstances of our economy and security, would be “normal”?
Doubtful.
Given Biden’s hate-filled diatribe demonizing “Trumpies” as Hitler demonized the Jews, this situation can only detiorate. Republicans routinely complain of being censored, suspended or banned from social media platforms. The Democrats’ media allies just as routinely write articles denying those claims are true.
We turned to Ballotpedia, a truly neutral political watchdog that lists candidates at virtually every statewide and federal office across the nation, to find the truth. While the site doesn’t track social media reactions to ordinary, everyday Americans’ posts and comments, it does track major politicians interactions.
What was found is that absolutely no Democrats have been censored, suspended or outright banned at any time in the last 15 years by the major social media platforms. But just within the last 20 months ― since Biden took office ― six MAGA Republicans have been suspended from a mere 12 hours to an oddly determined 141 days by Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for alleged violations of those platforms’ standards.
It is widely known that Facebook and Twitter have permanently suspended Donald Trump for allegedly “inciting violence.”
Censorship is a direct, incontroverible violation of the First Amendment. Yet these self-appointed “guardians of truth” have taken it upon themselves, with the Democrats’ and their media’s support, to silence men and women who have chosen to stand against a one-sided version of the truth that is promoted by media and social media as absolute and unquestioned.
Again, this is a pattern familiar to anyone familiar with how the Jews were treated by the Nazis. Demonize them, silence them, marginalize them, imprison them ― kill them.
MAGA Republicans were compared to al-Qaeda this past 9 /11 memorial weekend. Those of us who support Donald Trump’s agenda of smaller government, less spending and real security ― internationally, at our border, on our streets and in our homes ― are being associated with international terrorists. We are accused of insurrection, subversion and treason.
As the inflationary crisis builds, the Democrats have no answers for it because they are dedicated to destructive spending to solidify their current hold on power. Left unchecked, this party of extremists will reach their watershed moment that potentially will change the world.
There are two ways our current constitutional crisis can end. Either Democrats will be soundly and finally defeated by rational Americans going to the polls in the November midterms and we will avert disaster.

If such is not the case, inflation will be combined with the “MAGA Republican crisis” in a national emergency declaration that will result in the collapse of our God-given rights outlined in amendments 1-10. First, internment camps will be built to house we subversive MAGA Republicans. The term “re-education” may even be used, as some extremist Leftist demagogues have already suggested.
Then, as outrage and a hue and cry arises from moderates who never expected it would go that far, the internment camps will be transitioned to concentration camps, and the moderates who protest will be added to the camp populations. Perhaps these camps will be more sophisticated than the Nazi work camps and death camps, but the intent behind them will be just as sinister, just as diabolical, just as horrific as were those camps of 90 years ago.
Democrats are fully engaged in duplicating Hitler’s Big Lie.
The Big Lie is the name of a propaganda technique, originally coined by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf, who wrote: “The great masses of the people … will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.”
He correctly deduced that where a known falsehood is stated and repeated and treated as if it is self-evidently true, it will of sway the course of an argument in a direction that takes the Big Lie for granted rather than critically questioning it or ignoring it.
Hitler used his Big Lie theory in blaming the Jews for every ill suffered in Germany. As leader of the Nazi Party and as the soon-to-be Chancellor of Germany, Hitler accused the Jews of doing the very things his Nazi Party was doing.
Hilter was undermining the authority of the Reichstag ― the German parliament ― and centralizing power in himself and his party. He accused the Jews of creating havoc in the Reichstag, making those changes necessary to “protect the Fatherland.”
Democrats are using this same theory to accuse Republicans ― both individuals and collectively ― of doing exactly what the Democrats under Joe Biden are doing.
Democrats claim Republicans are undermining free elections. In reality, it was the Democrats who stole the election in 2020, as Dinesh D’Souza has undeniably proven in his film “2000 Mules.” Democrats accuse MAGA Republicans of being insurrectionists and hint at measures that may be necessary to prevent the MAGA movement’s success.
We are on a precipace of national disaster, a dissent into authoritarianism from which the nation will not recover. A cadre of Fascists calling themselves Democrats, having installed a figurehead as president, have come to a point of such desperation, such panic, they will take any action, up to and including canceling the election and putting unprecedented power in the executive branch in a “national emergency.”
They will take everything from the rest of us to salvage their own power, pride and prestige. It is part of the Great Reset our own elites will welcome gladly.
We will have nothing and be happy We are perilously close to that becoming our reality. We are only one bogus national emergency declaration from fact.
