World Wide Upheaval

As Trump’s cabinet picks run the gauntlet of cheats, thieves and traitors in the U.S. Capitol, there are other indications of a relatively civil civil war. There was the video of the DoD aide admitting that there were talks among some of the retired generals on how to disrupt and cripple the Trump Administration filmed by OMG. There have been reports of how the administrative state, up to 50%, who were dedicated to thwarting the efforts of Trump’s administration from the inside. As this is becoming known, there builds a resolve to see this to the end.

One of the more incredulous exchanges came when Pam Bondi (no particular affinity for her due to her anti-2A stances) was being pressured to disavow politicization of the Justice Department. Really? Now? It’s obvious to me that all they were doing, Schiff and the like, was setting the stage should they be investigated. “But Pam Bondi said she wouldn’t politicize the Department of Justice!” This is what makes the news boring for me a lot of the time, I’ve already seen it coming, imagined fairly accurately the exchanges and came to the same conclusion as always, there is no real news to it, there are just sides and narratives and the one whose narrative sticks is the winner.

That they expose themselves as criminals and cheats in the process is intentionally ignored by MSM, but it’s there in the alternative media, or actually, the new media. I did think there were better answers to the badgering questions of the senators. When senators were trying to get her to pledge that she would not politicize the Department of Justice, I thought she should have simply said: “I will follow the law, Senator, and if that leads me to a Democrat or a Republican, I will not pull my punches.”

Yet, for all of the drama that attends these sorts of things now, something that went on without comment in previous times, there are bigger fish being fried. There’s the Romanian coup, the Brazilian coup of a few years ago, there’s a backlash in the UK that’s just getting started over the state sponsor of grooming gangs. There’s Maduro pulling a Joe Biden in Venezuela; there’s the coup and indictment of the president in South Korea. All of these right-leaning factions in Germany and France are rising and the old, elitist/communist powers struggling under the weight of people who have been told they are free and finding out that, like in the U.S., that deep, dark powers govern the whole of it. Breaking free from that stranglehold will take more than a few elections, a few protests. It seems as if the world is balanced on a knife’s edge of political discontent.

In the United States it’s revealed in the Senate confirmation hearings, the sudden surge of criminal aliens being flown into the U.S. before the 20th of January. There are minefields being buried deep within the administrative state, there are states, like California, setting aside public funds to fight Donald Trump’s efforts to deport criminal aliens at a time when they seem to have neither functional fire engines, nor water in their hydrants to fight the persistent fires (often arson) in LA. What would they do with an arsonist if they caught one? Well, they did and they let them go.

There is an absurdity to it that cannot be ignored, I’ve tried. It’s easy to look at California and shrug. What is there to be done with a state that continues to vote for the worst possible people? (If, indeed, they are) Who take aberrant behavior as a sign of infinite competence. I don’t know what to say to that, except that I guard against it, locally, where I find it.

There does seem to be a worldwide interest in freedom after a few decades of letting governments operate however they saw fit. Not least of it in the understanding that the native population is being replaced by masses of criminal aliens. The UK is probably the best example of a government that is giddy with the idea of becoming a Muslim state, something I find perplexing, because I can see the plank in our own eye on that front. That’s not likely to happen in Texas very soon, though not impossible, either.

All I truly look at is how much freedom is afforded by the society in which I live. Any strike against that freedom is a reason to rise and attempt to do something about it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but enduring it is how we got here in the first place. I will tell you that disturbing conversations have taken place in my town concerning the ability of the county to reject these dumps of criminal aliens into our towns, but there’s just enough resistance to have some serious consequences should that happen. This is Texas and there are laws that protect the good Samaritan, even if they are a third party. How well that pans out in court, I have not yet been forced to find out.

I have found it quite energizing to see so many different nations around the globe, whose populations are starting to react to injustices of their governments. Maybe that’s all I can expect for now, but to be counted one of them is important. The world is still somewhat led by America and the election of Trump, despite the lawfare brought against him, has demonstrated to other peoples our determination to rectify the injustices of our own government. From my perspective that could never go far enough, but I consider myself an outlier in that regard.

One thing that cannot be left out of the information wars is the missing children. Where are they? Most of these are black or Hispanic and I still care about what has happened to 320,000 minors lost in the world of human sex trafficking, drug dealers and cartel members. No matter who they are, that is no place for children and simply exposing the crimes committed against them would bring down half of the government. I highly resent paying taxes to an organized crime syndicate guilty of human-smuggling. For that reason alone, we should alter or abolish this one. If I carry any shame, it is that I have not acted more assertively concerning this, but I don’t carry the shame that is rightfully due to those in the Border Patrol who have obeyed their masters and abetted this horrific crime. I know, I know, there are some good people in the Border Patrol and Trump will stand with them, but it’s the old “good cop” narrative that’s destroyed by the fact that if there were so many good cops, there would be no bad cops.
