Abu Ghraib on the Potomac

The legal civil war begins in earnest. Since before the beginning of the inauguration the resistance was in action, drawing up legal challenges to every move Trump would make with his Executive Orders. This is not a game, it is war by legal means. The frontline soldiers are the J6 hostages, hostages of the administrative state. Those being held in Abu Ghraib on the Potomac, who have suffered torture and a denial of all rights, elevating simple protesters to a level of insurgents, a narrative that has been collapsing since the start. As more information has come out about FBI assets and disguised Antifa members infiltrating the peaceful crowd to take actions that would elevate the protest into a riot, the narrative shatters, though Schumer and Schiff need it to remain and so will push it every chance they get.

All of this was designed to create the illusion of an insurrection, bringing those protesters, something that is not only tolerated in America, but the right to do so is ensconced in law: “The right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Only through political pressure and design did this right become a crime for MAGA and MAGA alone.

But that’s the hallmark of the past four years: illegality cloaked in the robes of propriety. Now, these dungeon keepers in the DC gulag, Abu Ghraib on the Potomac, are trying to force these prisoners to sign NDAs to keep the abuses they suffered quiet before they are released, as a condition of release. That’s a level of arrogance and outright hubris that is difficult to top. The torturers are so emboldened by the injustice of their abuse that they’re trying to keep the hostages from relating those abuses or be beaten. That won’t help, but it will draw greater scrutiny about what actually happened there in the DC gulag. Also, not happy with not being able to spit on these American heroes, there is a District Attorney, one of Soros’ bought off lackeys in Philadelphia, attempting to bring state charges against the J6ers. This must be brought to a quick and decisive end. The DOJ must bring charges, take over the Capitol Police and do a thorough housecleaning, or it will just further the lawlessness.

At the same time, Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship via Executive Order has been met with lawsuits. To be honest, it should be. An Executive Order, whether issued by Republicans or Democrats, cannot overwrite the constitution. That didn’t stop Biden in the previous administration, leaving the State of Texas to challenge border policies through the courts. Some positive conclusions were drawn by those lawsuits, but it took four years to effect and lost its poignancy. These lawsuits, however, will make the constitution clear on the issue of birthright citizenship.

What we are witnessing is the system turned against the system, the very definition of civil war. The fact that it’s all taking place behind closed doors or in remote corners of the bureaucracy doesn’t lessen the effects or the consequences. These are the first steps; those that begin the long road to either a reinvigorated constitutionality or war. The communists will never give up power willingly. They’ll start with the most liberal activist judges and Soros-funded DAs to push the constitutional conflicts; they’ll use emotional arguments against the clear understanding of the law.

It’s a game of inches right now, when corrupt judges and crooked lawyers try to destroy individual rights with precedent. The Supreme Court cannot be trusted here, either, because the masks are off and the sides are chosen. I expect Roberts and Bryant to side with the communists, they always have on the crucial issues of the day. But that’s the problem with the Supreme Court, it has always ruled with the popular view, even when they were wrong, like Roe v Wade, and it took decades to correct their ridiculous ruling. They believed it was the popular view, what a progressive society wanted. Rarely do they have the guts to rule against the vocal minority, because they know the right will let them dangle rather than vehemently object to their disgraceful acts.

This is where the power of the people comes in, the right has to be much more vociferous than it has ever been. A demonstration of this has been provided by different voices on the right encouraging more demonstrative behavior, people like Bannon, Bongino, Kirk, Pressler and Alex Jones. Rush Limbaugh refused to use his powerful voice to encourage listeners to act, except in very rare instances. Talking heads like Hannity just don’t get it anymore, they want some sort of polite, reasoned conservative interaction with the left and that can no longer exist. This is a fight to the death, not some tea party.

Every court case is going to mean something going forward and the reaction to it will have two sides struggling to get their narrative to be accepted by the people themselves. Even though the right will never be violent like the left, if the laws are followed, the left will suffer a great deal during this period of the overall conflict, because they break the laws, they are violent, they are insurrectionists, they are, in some cases, terrorists. What is the point of being a communist if you can’t be violent insurrectionists? The guards at Abu Ghraib on the Potomac are classic examples of the left’s viciousness and recalcitrance.

Trump and his Department of Justice are going to have to struggle with the optics. Tom Homan is going to have to struggle with the optics, but optics be damned. The law, if it means anything at all, must be upheld regardless of how it looks. The more brutal and unforgiving the enforcers of law seem to be is exactly what must be observed to make an impression that’s necessary to reestablishing the preeminence a law-based society. When some can commit crimes, like shoplifting, without consequence, the whole social contract breaks down. Before long all that is left in these urban areas are looted stores and hulking shells of once beautiful architecture. It works the same way with the entire nation. If one allows the doors to be thrown open, it hollows out the entirety of the nation leaving only rubble and feces. We’ve seen it and now is the time to provide the alternative. That must come with enforcing the law and it must start with Abu Ghraib on the Potomac.
