China, Thailand and India Choose to Validate Myanmar Junta

Paul Collier September 6, 2023

It seems the Chinese are removing any ambiguity in their stance regarding the Myanmar Junta, choosing to openly endorse the Junta by meeting with its leaders face to face. India and Thailand have joined suit, signaling their beliefs the junta is here to stay.

China’s Vice Admiral Lui Zuzhu met with Myanmar’s chief of the General Staff, General Maung Maung Aye while nine junta ministers have also flown to China to meet with officials. Meanwhile, Indian Ambassador to Myanmar, Vinay Kumar, met the Junta’s deputy leader, Soe Win and Thailand’s ambassador to Myanmar met with Myanmar’s electricity minister Nyan Tun.

The reality is the junta is in a similar position the United States was in when we occupied south Vietnam. We occupied the cities but held little sway over the countryside. As Billy Joel says in the song Goodnight Saigon, “We held the day in the palm of our hands. They ruled the night, and the night seemed to last as long as six weeks On Parris Island. We held the coastline, they held the highlands.”

This is the reality in Myanmar, where resistance to the tyranny of the junta has not ended, where the “rebels” have taken to become their own arms manufacturers, building guns and drones that continue to thwart the junta’s efforts to consolidate their power.

But China, India and Thailand are betting that the junta will eventually win, and so they want to be in good standing with the new authority of the land, even as the rightful, democratically elected leaders suffer towards death in prisons.

It is a gamble, this writer believes, they will lose. I doubt very much the rebels, who will eventually take back their lands from the usurpers, will not soon forget what these nations did in their time of need, how they turned their backs on them for the sake of their own petty bottom lines, inured to the suffering of the land.

“Law in the Soviet Union is not conceived as a check on power; it is openly and proudly an expression of that power.” – Richard M. Nixon, 1960

“Stalin, Hussein, Putin, Hitler, Mao, and Castro all got their guilty verdicts. This will be no different. This is a show trial that is completely fixed. There is no reason to give it the legitimacy of legal analysis. Call it what we all know it is. A show trial.” – Mollie Hemingway, responding to the Trump indictments

“If Putin did this to a political opponent that was polling higher than him in an election year – Biden would call him a dictator.” – Jackson Hinckle

“To use the justice system against the political opponent, in Hungary, I think it’s impossible to imagine. That was done by the communists. It’s a very communist methodology to do that.” – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban

INTRODUCTION

The left claims that the unprecedented act of jailing a former president and Biden’s chief political rival (Donald Trump) for over 700 years is necessary to save “our democracy” from “far-right fascists.” But American Jacobins are not the only ones conspiring to eliminate freedom and all opposition to the globalist “New World Order.”

Last year, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, dubbed the “Trump of the Tropics,” “lost” a close election amid widespread reports of voter fraud and irregularities. The country’s leftist Superior Electoral Court not only refused to investigate reports of fraud, but has now banned Bolsonaro from running for office until 2030 for even daring to question the results.

The German government is considering banning the “far-right extremist” Alternative for Germany Party after it surged to 21 percent in the polls. This same German establishment has convicted author and playwright CJ Hopkins for comparing the Covid cult to the Nazi era. A German whistleblower warns that the German state is returning to “Stasi era” surveillance and snitching.

In Pakistan, former populist Prime Minister Imran Khan now sits in jail, after he was ousted by the Pakistani and U.S. Deep State (with the likely help of State Department regime-changer Victoria Nuland). Revolver News reports, “Khan now languishes in a small 6×9 cell, not allowed a phone, books, newspaper, or human contact, with only insects and flies to keep him company. If the Pakistani deep state can send Pakistan’s beloved populist leader Khan to prison, surely Biden is salivating at the prospect of a similar fate for Trump.”

Several weeks ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin had his chief political rival, Alexei Navalny, sentenced to 19 years in prison. Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded: “The United States strongly condemns Russia’s conviction of opposition leader Alexei Navalny on politically motivated charges. The Kremlin cannot silence the truth. Navalny should be released.”

Yet Blinken’s response reeked of hypocrisy, deliberately ignoring three important facts: (1) The politically motivated indictment of Donald Trump was handed down on the same day as Blinken’s self-righteous tweet. (2) Blinken ran election interference by organizing the phony letter signed by 51 intelligence officials dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop as “Russian disinformation” in October 2020. (3) If convicted on all counts and given the maximum sentence, Joe Biden’s chief political rival, Donald Trump, would serve over 700 years in prison.

Throughout history, corrupt, power-crazed, and genocidal tyrants – Caesar Augustus, Josef Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, and Adolf Hitler – have ruthlessly eliminated their opposition when able to do so. In the light of history, the indictments of Trump are a declaration of war against the American Republic, an indictment of an illegitimate regime, and a frightening portension of far worse to come if this lawfare is not stopped in its tracks.

This article will cover the latest two indictments against Trump, the 14th Amendment scheme to keep Trump off the ballot, and the greater crimes of the left. We will explore why these indictments are so dangerous, why most Republican politicians are still missing in action, and how this lawfare could end.

THE JANUARY 6 INDICTMENT

“Always accuse your enemy of what you are doing yourself, as you are doing it to create confusion.” – Karl Marx

“These prosecutors are very left-wing, and they’re in left-wing jurisdictions, and they depend on left-wing grand juries and eventually a left-wing trial jury. They’re assuming that otherwise, they don’t have a good case.” – Victor Davis Hanson

THE THIRD INDICTMENT – On August 1, just one day after Hunter Biden’s close friend and former business associate Devon Archer testified before Congress regarding Biden family corruption, DNC lawfare activist Special Counsel Jack Smith announced the third indictment of Donald Trump, over alleged efforts to “subvert” the 2020 election. Ironically, Trump was charged for the very crimes committed in 2020 by the DNC and their RINO allies in key swing states. The indictment builds on the work of the sham partisan January 6 Committee and the previous trials of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and other January 6 political prisoners. It carries four counts:
Conspiracy to defraud the U.S.
Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
Obstruction of justice and an official proceeding
Conspiracy against voter rights

The case rests on the novel argument that (1) Trump knew his 2020 election claims were false, but (2) he spread them anyways. Former Trump Senior White House Advisor Stephen Miller says, “This indictment says…that if we, the Department of Justice and prosecutors at the Department of Justice, believe that you, as a citizen or as an elected official, are not telling the truth as we recognize it, that we can throw you in jail.” In other words, only Democrats can legally exercise their First Amendment right by questioning elections or speaking their mind; Republicans can now be jailed for speech not approved by the ruling regime.

LEFT-WING PROSECUTOR, JUDGE, AND JURY – Special Counsel Jack Smith’s previous accomplishments include covering for Biden family corruption and securing a bribery conviction against Virginia’s Republican Governor Bob McDonnell, which was so weak that it was eventually overturned at the U.S. Supreme Court 8-0.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is a radical Marxist ideologue who has handed down some of the harshest sentences thus far to January 6 political prisoners. The New York Post reports that the Obama-appointed Chutkan “is the scion of a family of revolutionary Marxists in her native Jamaica” and “is the granddaughter of Frank Hill, a Jamaican communist revolutionary, who along with his brother Ken were briefly jailed by the island’s British governor during World War II over suspicions of ‘subversive activities.’” Chutkan is also a previous employee of Boies, Schiller, & Flexner LLP (BSF), the law firm that employed Hunter Biden and lobbied Burisma. To remove any lingering doubts, Chutkan has compared January 6, 2021, to September 11, 2001, and the Boston Marathon bombing.

The judge and prosecutor are not impartial arbiters of justice; they are Communist activists who specialize in using lawfare to destroy the American republic. The trial will take place in deep blue Washington, D.C., ensuring a leftist jury eager to mete out injustice.

DNC ELECTION INTERFERENCE – Trump’s attorneys requested an April 2026 trial date, which they said would give them time to review the millions of documents involved in the case. Judge Chutkan had previously allowed January 6 political prisoners to languish for years in prison before even having a trial. But she set the Trump trial date for March 4, 2024, one day before Super Tuesday, when around one dozen states will vote in the Republican primary. Donald Trump, the current clear frontrunner for the GOP nomination, will not be allowed to campaign the day before the most important voting in the primary season! Yet Democrats fastidiously claim, “It’s not interference if we commit the same behavior for which we jail Republicans. Even if it is interference, you can’t (or won’t) do anything about it.”
THE GEORGIA INDICTMENT

“The Georgia Indictment is the most insane yet, by the looniest prosecutor yet. It claims tweets are conspiracies, legal advice is a crime, Constitutional law is a criminal act, and demanding officials do their job is criminal solicitation. It is an embarrassment to the state of Georgia.” – Attorney Robert Barnes

THE FOURTH INDICTMENT – On August 14, days after the Biden DOJ appointed a sham special counsel for the Hunter Biden case, election denier and Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis announced the fourth indictment of Donald Trump. Former Republican U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich said a trusted source told him that Willis was told to proceed with the indictment to cover for the Biden special counsel “screw up.”
THE REAL FRAUD – Attorney Robert Barnes, who helped prepare Trump’s 2020 legal contest in Georgia, says that “constitutionally unqualified ballots” exceeded Biden’s margin of victory by “more than 10 times. Unlawfully, Fulton County courts [the same courts that will try Willis’ case] blocked the case from ever being heard.” Willis is not indicting her fellow party members who perpetrated fraud; instead, she is indicting Trump and his allies for daring to question that same fraud.
THE INFAMOUS PHONE CALL – The indictment stems largely from a January 2 phone call in which Trump allegedly asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” the votes to “overturn” the 2020 election. Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz observes, “Al Gore, his legal team, and I tried to find uncounted presidential votes, lobbied officials, and fought in the courts in 2000. The only difference now? The candidate’s name is Donald Trump… That’s why this prosecution is an outrage.”

The 41 sham charges were accidentally posted online one day before the grand jury voted. The charges leveled against Trump and his 18 co-defendants (mostly attorneys who provided legal counsel) included violation of the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is seeking to move the case to federal court. If he is successful, other defendants (including Trump) might be able to do so as well, and the case could break down.

14TH AMENDMENT HAIL MARY

Democrats have concocted another “anti-democratic” scheme to “save democracy. Constitutional law professor Laurence H. Tribe and retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig have advocated keeping Trump off the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment’s “Insurrection” clause. In other words, “Trump is so dangerous to ‘our democracy’ that you cannot be allowed to exercise your free will in voting for him.” The scheme is nothing more than a fraudulent rebuke of the American voters and an illegal backup plan in case the indictments fail. Law Professor Michael McConnell warns, “We must not forget that we are talking about empowering partisan politicians such as state Secretaries of State to disqualify their political opponents from the ballot, depriving voters of the ability to elect candidates of their choice. If abused, this is profoundly anti-democratic.” Law professor Jonathan Turley, a former Bill Clinton voter, responded, “I think this is the single most dangerous constitutional theory I have seen pop up in decades.”

John Daniel Davidson explains how this could play out, “A summer 2024 conviction sets up the real play here, which is for blue states and counties to remove Trump from the ballot, citing a faulty and blatantly lawless reading of the 14th Amendment. Assuming Trump wins the GOP primary, this will leave Republicans with no candidate on the ballot across vast swaths of the country heading into the fall. Even if the Supreme Court steps in, if Democrats time it just right, it will be too late to send out corrected, lawful ballots in time for Election Day.”

THE GREATER CRIMES OF THE LEFT

At the Georgia courthouse, Donald Trump said, “This is a sad day for America. I thought the election was a rigged election, a stolen election – and I should have every right to do that. As you know, you have many people that you’ve been watching over the years do the same thing…Whether it’s Hillary Clinton or Stacey Abrams or many others.”

DEMS STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION – The Covid-19 lockdowns (which Trump unwisely fell for) provided the perfect excuse to radically overhaul America’s election system and “win” via mass mail-in ballots and counting shenanigans in key swing states. Trump’s attorneys say that the indictments give them a platform to “fully re-litigate every single issue that occurred during the 2020 election.”
2. DEMS HAVE LONG QUESTIONED ELECTIONS – Democrats have questioned every Republican presidential victory since 2000. (See here for ten straight minutes of Democrats protesting election results.)

Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams repeatedly claimed that Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial election was stolen for her, but she has yet to be prosecuted by Fani Willis. Hillary Clinton not only claimed the 2016 election was stolen, but put forth the false “Russian collusion” narrative and encouraged faithless electors to choose Hillary instead of Trump after the 2016 election. But Hillary was never indicted.

BIDEN FAMILY CRIMES – Every Trump indictment thus far has been perfectly timed to coincide with and distract from damaging new information on the Biden family crimes. Journalist Glenn Greenwald summarizes, “At exactly the same time the Biden administration is prosecuting Donald Trump, they are also shielding Hunter Biden, who is guilty of far more blatant and obvious criminality, just blatant political corruption, tax evasion, and hiding assets in a way that most people go to jail for many years.”

But once again, the establishment is sending a clear message that all who advance their globalist agenda (Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden) will be protected; any who dissent (Donald Trump and his supporters) will be ruthlessly crushed.

4. ANARCHO-TYRANNY – The DNC is promoting what conservative columnist Sam Frances described as “anarcho-tyranny.” As in the Soviet Union, Biden’s regime is far more concerned with prosecuting alleged “treason” against the state than with punishing the lawlessness that is tearing apart America’s cities. Author Valery Chalidze observed of the Soviet Union, “[T]he new regime concentrated its oppressive efforts on political opponents and class aliens. Amid the crowd of real or supposed enemies of the regime, non-political criminals were still regarded as sociallyakin; they received shorter terms of imprisonment and served them in less severe conditions.”

Americans may now be terrorized by the IRS and FBI for praying outside an abortion clinic or failing to report a $700 transaction on Venmo. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, Antifa rioters, and San Francisco looters will walk free.

E. IS THE GOP COMPLACENT OR COMPLICIT?

The verdict of history will harshly judge both Jacobin Democrats and the spineless or traitorous Republicans who enabled them.

Xi Van Fleet, a survivor of Mao’s brutal cultural revolution, reacted to Trump’s Fulton County mugshot, “I have to say I think America is quickly becoming a communist country and our rule of law has been turned into what Marxists call proletarian dictatorship. The party in power is after its political opposition, and it is not just the president, but people like activists are now in jail, as political prisoners in the free country of the United States…Now it is Donald Trump and MAGA, but eventually, it is everybody because a communist regime does not tolerate any opposition, any dissenting voice. So they are coming after all of us, including those who are cheering now for Trump’s indictment and think they are on the winning team. They are not. We all will become victims if we let them succeed.”

Van Fleet concluded, “I really have a word for everybody, including the conservatives: learn a little bit about history and about the Cultural Revolution. What’s happening here is a repeat. Only when people understand the history and the nature of what’s going on, will they wake up. We are dealing with communism, we are dealing with Marxists, who want to transform our country into a dictatorship.”

If the script were flipped, and Republican prosecutors under a Republican President were handing down coordinated indictments to the leading Democratic opposition candidate, the media would be beside themselves with fury against the “right-wing fascist Republicans.”

Yet why are most Republican leaders strangely silent? Are they ignorant of history and reality? Or are they secretly bought off (or even in alliance with) the other side?

The disconnect between Republican leaders and their voters was clearly seen in the contrast between the Fox News-hosted GOP debate, which virtually ignored the weaponization of justice and gained a paltry 13 million views, and Tucker Carlson’s interview of Donald Trump, which aired at the same time and reached a staggering over 260 million views.

EXHIBIT A: GEORGIA REPUBLICANS – Rather than defend Trump against the ridiculous indictment from Fani Willis, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who won with Trump’s help in 2018 and ignored thousands of sworn affidavits detailing election crimes in Georgia in 2020, doubled down on his claim that “The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.”

When Georgia State Senator Colton Moore called on Kemp to convene a special session to impeach Fani Willis, Kemp refused. Like Kemp, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has been silent and refused to use his power to stop the persecution.

WEAK D.C. REPUBLICANS – Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says the U.S. House (led by Trump-endorsed Kevin McCarthy) could use a special select committee to legally immunize Trump from false charges: “Unfortunately, none of those things are happening. Instead, Congress is not in Washington, not assembled. And I think the timing is on purpose. No timing in DC is ever just a mere coincidence. And so right as Congress is leaving town, right as we are walking away from our responsibility to be just and fair, we see this acceleration of activity against Trump.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has yet to commit to impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden.

GOP PROSECUTORS – Charlie Kirk and Attorney Stephen Miller discussed how conservative prosecutors and attorney generals could level hundreds “of criminal cases” for the DNC’s real crimes against the Republic “in response to the unprecedented legal offensive from the left.”
2024 GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES – Most of Trump’s opponents know they stand little chance unless Trump drops out or is otherwise removed from contention. Vivek Ramaswamy (an untested Big Pharma billionaire with a record of contradictory statements and shifting positions) is seriously threatening to pass up Ron DeSantis – America’s most successful Governor, who defied Covid lockdowns, stood for families, defeated Disney, and turned the biggest swing state bright red.

Why? DeSantis has repeatedly talked about “moving on” from the rigged 2020 election and January 6, claimed that the 2020 election was not stolen, and given far weaker responses to the Trump indictments than has Vivek. By contrast, Vivek has consistently defended Trump against Marxist lawfare, and because of that, voters are seriously considering him for second place.

HISTORICAL PARALLELS – By doing nothing to stop the DNC’s lawfare, Republican leaders are complicit in the criminal conspiracy against the American republic. These leaders are like Pilate, unwilling to use their power to stop the rage of the crazed mob (the DNC’s increasingly radical coalition) and its Pharisaical leaders (establishment elites who stir up the people to demand the guilty go free and the innocent be destroyed). These spineless Republicans want the benefits that come with position, but they disdain the sacrificial responsibility demanded of true public service.

Over 700 years ago, Scotland’s freedom fighter William Wallace resisted English tyranny with little help from the Scottish nobility. The nobles had the power to fight the English, but they valued comfort more than the liberty of their people and were content to receive favors from their English overlords in order to safeguard their lands and lives. At the critical battle of Falkirk, Wallace and the Scots lost in part because most of the Scottish cavalry in reserve, led by John Comyn, fled rather than fight the English. Britannica notes that their “allegiance to Wallace was questionable; many of them had English estates or relatives who were hostages in Edward’s hands.”

THE UGLY PURPOSE BEHIND LAWFARE

The anti-Trump lawfare is far more dangerous than many American and most Republican leaders realize.

LEGITIMIZE DESTRUCTION OF THE REPUBLIC – Donald Trump is the convenient boogeyman the left uses to channel their anti-American hate. The DNC cult tells its followers, “Trump is as bad as Hitler; therefore, we must take extreme measures to ensure Orange Man never gets close to the White House again. To save ‘our democracy’ from the menace of Trump and his fascist ‘domestic terrorist” followers, we must criminalize all opposition, destroy free speech, and give the regime total authority to protect us from lies. The regime and its goons at the FBI, IRS, and DOJ must have expanded budgets and unlimited power to censor, audit, imprison, or intimidate anyone who threatens our safety.”

Unfortunately, most DNC voters appear to agree. They want their enemies punished, and they do not understand that if the law can be weaponized against their opponents, it will eventually be weaponized against them. Former Democratic strategist Dr. Naomi Wolf relates her August 3 experience from the liberal West Coast:

“Happy Indictment Day!” shouted the neighbor of my host, as my host and I sat out on a balcony. The neighbor was emerging from a car, three stories below us. The building must have contained thirty apartments. The man was certain that everyone who was in earshot of his joyous shout agreed with his sentiments.

He witnessed my silence. “Don’t you agree?” he goaded me, a near-stranger, still shouting. “Don’t you?”

Finally, I responded, “I am not sure that this sets a great precedent. Every sitting President in the future will try to indict his or her political opponent.” He cut off the discussion – a reaction from the Left, to which I am getting accustomed – and headed inside.

2. NEUTRALIZE AND DESTROY THE OPPOSITION – The Georgia case especially, with its 18 co-defendants and 31 unindicted “co-conspirators,” is designed to financially bankrupt Trump-friendly attorneys and to frighten away attorneys from giving legal counsel to conservative campaigns in the future. With the indictments, the regime wants to terrify everyday American patriots into doing nothing for fear that they will be imprisoned just like Trump or the J6-ers.

Professor James Lindsay believes those waging lawfare want to deliberately provoke conservatives into overreacting, thereby creating another January 6 event and justifying a massive crackdown on liberty. Lindsay explains the Marxist strategy, “You don’t hit them too hard, you don’t hit them too soft, so you’re clearly not the aggressor…and then you make use of their reaction.”

Austen Ruse writes, “It’s not just about getting rid of Trump. It’s really about getting us, smelly conservatives and Christians, patriots who love this country. By taking out Trump, they are taking out everybody associated with him, including those who voted for him and put him into office.” The message is clear: “If we can destroy Donald Trump, the former President, just imagine what we can do to you.”

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS: 2024 AND HOW THIS ENDS

President Donald Trump will face multiple trials in 2024, designed to drain his campaign financially and destroy it politically. Each trial will be scheduled to overlap perfectly, not just with the Republican primary but with the general election.

Trump could very well end up in a jail cell in 2024, although he could still legally run for office from jail. However, leftists are hoping Trump’s campaign will be restricted (by the jail or courtroom), and he will have become so bloodied and unsavory that a majority of Americans reject him. Simultaneously, Democratic and DNC-controlled states will seek to deny their voters, who they fear will make “the wrong choice,” by keeping Trump off the ballot in the name of “saving democracy.” If all of that doesn’t work, Dems will try to rig the election once again, maybe with the help of a war or another pandemic.

There is a high probability that the Trump lawfare will end up at the Supreme Court, with the court having to uphold or strike down the sham indictments and the 14th Amendment scheme. Attorney Alan Dershowitz predicts that a Trump conviction in the January 6 case would be overturned by the Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court fails to uphold Donald Trump’s innocence and repudiate the DNC’s lawfare, it will reveal its complicity in the death of America. On the other hand, if it rebukes the left, Justices will face death threats, mass Antifa-style protests, and cries of “illegitimacy!”

Like the Scottish nobles in the days of William Wallace, most Republican leaders will cower in silence, but some, like Robert the Bruce, will find the courage to stand. The Republican Party will only continue to exist as a viable opposition party if it denounces and acts against the regime’s lawfare against Donald Trump. If the GOP responds to the DNC lawfare by dumping Trump from the nomination by foul means, they will certainly lose in 2024.

The biggest question is this: “How will the American people respond, specifically those in the middle who could be swayed either way?” In 1960, corrupt Fulton County prosecutors took the mugshot of a man who was deeply unpopular nationwide, much more than Donald Trump is today. However, Martin Luther King Jr.’s popularity soared after he was jailed and his supporters were attacked by a corrupt system. If the more than seven in 10 Americans who think Trump can’t get an impartial jury see Trump’s indictments as a mortal threat to their own liberties, the DNC’s lawfare will backfire massively.

History’s two alternative visions lie before us: “the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order” or “the ant heap of totalitarianism,” as described by Ronald Reagan. DNC totalitarianism means a“New World Order” in which America is a pawn of global elites in Davos, Beijing, and Silicon Valley; snitching, show trials, and gulags are the norm; and those who love the republic are sub-humanized and even genocided (just as unborn babies have been). If the left wins in 2024, the Marxist takeover of the legal system will accelerate. Show trials will come for the rest of us.

The other path is that trod by William Wallace and Robert the Bruce against the English, William of Orange against the Spaniards, English citizens against the tyrannical Stuart kings, and American Patriots against the British. Rebirths of freedom have occurred throughout history, but almost always against overwhelming odds.

Our enemies are powerful, ruthless, and coordinated. But they are not Sovereign, they can be defeated, and their very existence clarifies those precious things that are worth fighting for. Regardless of setbacks, we never lose hope, and our fight never ceases.

Attorney Jeffrey Clark, one of the victims of Fani Willis’ rogue “justice,” put it this way: “They indicted Trump. So America, you have two options. Which do you choose? (1) Curl up in your basement. (2) Oppose the insane lawfare.” May most Americans oppose the truly “insane” lawfare.

Founding Father Samuel Adams said, “It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

Jack Smith’s Trumped-Up Charges Could Be Dropped, Experts Claim

Paul Collier September 5, 2023

According to RealClear Investigations, unnamed legal insiders are claiming that some of Jack Smith’s trumped-up charges could be dropped, which might lead to the rest of them being dropped as well. Apparently, the USC 1001 false statement charges could be dropped since Trump was not actually interviewed by a Federal agent, meaning he couldn’t have made false statements to them since he made NO statements to them.

Investigative Reporter Paul Sperry made the claims. He also suggested the whole case lacks substantial evidence. It relies mostly on what could be characterized as inflammatory statements by the prosecution and not actual facts.

Perhaps the most shocking part of his tweeted report was the claim that Trump obstructed justice by destroying evidence that was not actually destroyed, but which Smith supposed was destroyed because of an emailed emoji. Sperry noted, “DEVELOPING: Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago obstruction case against Trump is based on an emailed ’emoji’ related to security camera footage that was never actual [sic] destroyed, according to legal insiders.”

In this case, the trial is not being overseen by a far-left anti-American political activist like it is in Georgia (though the “prosecutor,” Jack Smith, is just as rabid a political anti-American activist as is his counterpart in Georgia, Fanni Willis). The presiding Judge is a Trump appointee, and American, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

Cannon denied an effort by the lawfare assassin, Jack Smith, to “seal” the criminal filings to protect the flimsiness of his case. She wrote, “The Special Counsel states in conclusory terms that the supplement should be sealed from public view ‘to comport with grand jury secrecy,’ but the motion for leave and the supplement plainly fail to satisfy the burden of establishing a sufficient legal or factual basis to warrant sealing the motion and supplement.”

If only they had another Chutkan judge to pervert justice in the name of the party, the DNC-CCP, but alas, they are stuck with an American Judge for this one.

Republicans have yet to move against the lawfare assassin, with Matt Gaetz(R-FL) however, pushing for that action, saying “House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview with the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days.”

Perhaps more Republicans will grow a spine as they realize the days of being the controlled opposition for the DNC-CCP are over. The days of personally, financially, benefiting from being a congressmember while still effectively blunting any real resistance to the DNC-CCP are over. The “party” wants blood, and it wants blood not only from the members of the GOP that dared attempt to build an effective resistance to the systemic pedophilia, the cult of death the DNC-CCP represents, but it wants to end the GOP entirely, finally ushering in the dream of all leftists, a one-party state through which their particular version of nationalism can finally find full social expression.

Leftists claim to be against Nationalism, but that is a lie. Nationalism, the idea that the nation-state is the greatest fulfilment of the individual possible, and the individual should be subverted to that goal (and those not willing to go along are to be purged), is alive and well in the left, and always has been. The mainstream left just replaces nation-state with party, while the even more belligerent left replaces nation-state with a one-world worker’s union.

The “American” left wants all political resistance eliminated, something they cannot fully do until the constitution itself is rendered null and void, a goal they continue to work feverishly towards, using our tax dollars to do so.

China Annexes Russian Island with Map

Paul Collier September 5, 2023

China has released another map claiming territory from a neighbor, one that is also a member of BRICS (Brazil, India, China, South America). Recently we reported on China doing a similar thing with another BRICS ally, India, now they’ve done the same with Russia, whose busy attempting to annex a whole neighbor, but using bombs, not cartography.

In this version, China claims the whole of Bolsoi Ussuriysky Island, a disputed territory they agreed to split between them in the past. Russia’s response to this map-perialism was delivered by by a Russian spokesperson, who said, “Russia and China have repeatedly confirmed the absence of mutual territorial claims….the Joint Border Commission is functioning effectively.”

It seems the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, needs China more than he needs the motherland’s territories, and China appears to know this. The Indians showed they are co-equals with Russia in their response, with Modi even bringing up their border disputes at the recent BRICS summit in South Africa. Apparently, the Russians are third-rate now, a subservient partner. What will the Russian people think of this demotion, if they even find out?

You Never Go Full ‘Don Quixote’ – Or, When ‘Crazy Eddie’ Throws Pasta

Michael Cessna September 1, 2023

In 1974, authors Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, writing in their seminal science fiction novel “The Mote In God’s Eye”, coined a character concept called “Crazy Eddie”, a concept-figure who would appear in a society’s mindset at time of extreme social stress, and take the most insane and contradictory actions possible, which usually resulted in accelerating the collapse of a society or civilization.

The world is in a remarkable state of tumult as of September 1 of 2023. The war in Ukraine is well into its second year. In Africa, a wave of military coups is obliterating France’s sixty-plus year old “totally-not-an-empire”, sending the region and the wider world into a frenzy of impotent rage, as no one wants to wade into a quagmire against black nations standing up to imperialist and corporate interests. Russia and China, aside from rattling military sabers to whet the appetite of the ravenous bloodlust of the Western media and entertainment spheres, are quietly marching towards an economic checkmate against the West, in a move that will not simply destroy the Western business models, but will smash Western economies flat, potentially reducing many Western European economies to a state no scene since the post-World War 2 recovery, and the Marshall Plan…only there won’t be a Marshall Plan this time. Maybe a Putin-Xi Plan, but not a Marshall Plan.

Pretty heavy for an opening bit, eh?

Amid all of the current tumult in the United States – the possible return of Covid lockdown restrictions not least among those – there is a quietly increasing crescendo calling for actual military intervention – meaning, “invasion” – of Mexico, in order to “deal” with the flow of illegal drugs.

I wish I were joking.

The current power bloc in Washington, DC – supported by their cohorts in The City of London, Paris, and Brussels – had goaded Russia into what they thought would be a “warm-n-fuzzy” kind of “Cold War, 2.0”; what they got was a full-on invasion. Although there initial, hysterical screams to “go to war” with Russia, both from within the power blocs and from those in the general public who should probably be on emotional-management medications, it soon dawned on most people that “going to war” with Russia would almost certainly mean a “nuclear” war, that no one would “win”.

Then came Africa: Beginning in 2017 (YouTube link), people seemed to suddenly remember that there were still islamist jihadi’s out in the world, burning, looting, raping and killing people in order to serve the warped vision of religion espoused by a tortured political prisoner. However, murderous religious maniacs were “so three years ago”, and virtually no one on the “Western Street” considered barely-literate bandits hiding under the cloak of religious fervor to be an existential threat to Western civilization. Likewise, the recent wave of coups – not coming at the behest of Western governments and corporations – aren’t exactly revving the martial engines of Western populations being crushed under rancid economies and continual political scandals.

Something else was needed…And in the United States that answer is, increasingly, the illicit drug problem.

And it is a problem: tens of thousands of Americans die every year from drug overdoses, a large percentage involving the drug fentanyl. Unlike the normal cries for “Bayonets UP!”, however, this group of calls comes from the opposite side of the aisle: instead of Democrats leading the charge for military intervention, this time, the main thrust is coming from the Republican side of the fence.

This should not be a surprise, given the GOP’s continuous cries against illicit drugs. After all, it was no less a figure than Richard Nixon, who authorized the placing of cannabis (aka, “marijuana”) on the list of drugs as a Schedule 1 compound, right next to heroin – a position it retains to this writing – in 1970. And, like the vigorously enforced alcohol raids of the Prohibition Era – also enforced by successive Republican administrations – the GOP’s “war on drugs” has directly sparked the explosive growth of massive, high-revenue and well-armed and frighteningly well-equipped drug cartels, who have an international reach, and who have now diversified into human trafficking.

Given the abject inability of the US military to deal with the opium trade in Afghanistan during its twenty-year long occupation of the country – which saw opium poppy fields expand five-fold – the idea that a smaller military, struggling with recruiting efforts, and quietly speaking the dreaded “D-Word” out loud, can deal with the various drug cartels is not a matter for political or military debate, but a matter to be dealt with by mental health counselors.

The US military is having trouble recruiting people with bonuses exceeding $50,000 to sign up. As Mexico itself has discovered, military recruiters have a hard time competing with their counterparts in the Cartels, especially if the Cartel recruiters can use Mafia-like threats against potential recruits’ families. Likewise, the Cartels not only pay what regular forces term “combat pay”, but offer bounties against specific targets.

As well, with revenues between US$20 billion and US$60 billion per year (minimum), and far less overhead than conventional corporations and nation states, the Cartels have plenty of cash left over for high-intensity R&D: the wave of combat footage coming out of Ukraine, showing drones – from both sides – dropping small bomblets into trenches and bunkers are merely the current state of a technology pioneered by the Cartels, and refined in Syria in the aftermath of the rise of ISIL.

Much worse, from both a tactical and an operational standpoint, is the ability of Cartel members to blend into the general population. While islamist jihadis are comparatively easy to target, as they belong to a very narrow slice of the US population, Cartel members are a subset of the largest minority group in the United States. Where – to get rather “ugly” about it – potential jihadists tend to limit themselves to Muslim mosques, Cartel soldiers are largely Catholic, and are thus able to circulate freely among the Catholic population, the fastest-growing Christian denomination in the world.

The Cartel’s leadership echelons are not idiots. In fact, a distressing number began as military professionals, as is clear from their ability to organize a military-style logistics system. They are watching the rhetoric coming from within Washington, DC and various other organs, both from within the government, and from government-adjacent groups – nothing presented here is new to the Cartels.

Decades of neglect of border security, up to and including the recent encouragement of millions of desperate economic refugees to cross the southern border of the United States illegally – an action which helps to fuel the cartels’ diversified revenue structure, to say nothing of the very real physical dangers of the northern Mexican deserts and the human trafficking predations of the “coyotes” – has fueled an massive surge in drug-related deaths across the United States. Communist China is certainly complicit in this, as they are the Cartels’ prime suppliers of fentanyl precursor drugs…something they have no issue supplying, as Beijing sees this as “payback” for the Opium Wars…but that is a whole other story.

With the hyperventilating actions of people who should know better, calling for a Presidential authorization to use military force against the Cartels, alongside equally breathless and stentorian calls to designate the Cartels as “Foreign Terrorist Organizations” (FTO’s), and coupled to a military establishment that has seemingly lost its way, to the point where it is quietly considering a return to a military Draft, the notion of an all-out “hot” war on the southern border of the United States is the height of lunacy, a lunacy driven by both sides of increasingly incompetent power blocs.

“We, the People” have allowed our “elected” leaders to paint us into a corner, a corner from which there is no real way out, except through the use of extreme levels of violence.

Kind of like Africa in the last few months.

Elon Musk’s X to Revert to Twitter-Style Censorship for 2024 Election

Paul Collier September 1, 2023

X, “the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated” is creating a 2024 election censorship team “supporting people’s right to accurate and safe political discourse on X.” The DNC-CCP-adjacent platform larping at being a free speech platform announced plans to expand its “safety and elections teams to focus on combatting misinformation, surfacing inauthentic accounts and closely monitoring the platform for emerging threats.”

This seems to be more about attracting anti-Americanist corporate sponsors, such as Disney, the NFL, or even Walmart at this point, rather than trying to serve the general public, the general “American” public.

The old question continues to confound these arbiters of truth, these mavens of misinformation, what is truth and what is misinformation? To the atheist, for instance, claiming God is living and acting in our world even today is misinformation. To the DNC-CCP acolyte, claiming a woman is a woman and a man is a man is an untruth, hate speech even.

Yet, X, under Elon Musk, the man who is building more and more dependence on CCP approval through Tesla, is now going to once again dare dream it can “protect” Americans from wrong-think. The notion, even, that Americans have some sort of right to “accurate and safe political discourse” is far-left thinking in and of itself, paternalism that empowers the few “experts” that are given truth standing by billionaire elites like Musk to “protect” us from our own ignorance.

America is about Americans stewarding their own preferences and beliefs, and equipping themselves to discern fact from fiction, not empowering the few to dictate to the many the terms truth engagement as defined by them, conveniently to the benefit of their own power-mad self-interest.

Elon Musk and his crowd represent a gentler raping of America that seeks to shuttle us into authoritarian traps while wearing American clothes. Their billionaires aren’t as keen on the China model as the DNC-CCP elites are, but they aren’t that keen on facing level-field competition from stewarded Americans who have the power to define and pursue their own happiness while recognizing the rights of others to do the same.

This latest move shows X, formerly Twitter, is still, at its core, the same Twitter Musk pretended to be against, and Musk is as fake as his Hyperloop promises were.

MintPress News Runs Interference for CCP in New Anti-Taiwan Agit Prop Piece

Paul Collier September 1, 2023

Far-left sites are pushing narrative Taiwan is doing nefarious things to trick Americans into being Pro-Taiwan and anti-China, including targeting “Chinese-Americans” for prosecution, working with the FBI to do so. The CCP propaganda pushed by the far left further shows why this writer refers to the Democratic Party (now fully controlled and led by far-left anti-Americanists) as the DNC-CCP, to reflect this unholy frenemy alliance between two corrupt ideologies who share two common enemies, the Church of the one true living God and the American Republic.

Mintpress News is alleging that Taiwan is working with the Feds to target Chinese-Americans for prosecution. They are also “intimidating” U.S. politicians who appear to be too friendly to China. Finally, they are funding U.S. think-tank groups to the tune of million of dollars, groups that are pro-Taiwan and anti-China. The article that brought this to our attention was in Monthly Review Online, which appears to be a Pro-China website. Mint Press News, according to the far left “information” site Wikipedia, is also a far left website.

As of September 1, 2024, if you go to the front of Monthly Review Online, you will see a storuy about Isabel Crook, a “longtime friend and supporter of Monthly Review,” who died recently at the age of 107. She resides in Beijing.

The Wikipedia entry for Mint Press News states, MintPress News (MPN) is an American far-left news website founded and edited by Mnar Adley (née Muhawesh) which was launched in January 2012 and also publishes the MintCast podcast. It covers political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues. Editorially, MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria. It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective. In one contentious article, MintPress News falsely asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government.

Described as a conspiratorial website, MintPress News publishes disinformation and antisemitic conspiracy theories, according to researchers at Rutgers University and others. MintPress News was a major media domain that spread disinformation about the White Helmets, a Syrian volunteer organization. The site has been accused of regularly publishing pro-Russian propaganda.

The reality is Taiwan is doing what every nation in the world does in America, an open society, seeks to influence it by sponsoring groups that support its agenda and lobby congress to be favorable to that nation’s interests. Whether or not America should continue to allow this for anyone is one question, characterizing their actions as being any different than the countries the far-left supports, countries like China in particular (and now, more and more, Russia, as China and Russia are now, apparently, best buds).

Taiwan working with the Feds to root out CCP spies among us, though, is a good thing, and these “Chinese-Americans” aren’t being targeted because they’re pro-China, they’re being targeted for being traitors to America, for being operatives of the Chinese Communist Party.

Republican Accuses Jack Smith of Bribing “Witness” to get Trump Indictment

Paul Collier August 31, 2023

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is accusing the office of special council Jack Smith, through his top aid Jay Bratt, of bribing a former Trump employee in order to get an indictment of the former President just in time to interfere with the 2024 election. He is also accusing the Attorney General, Merrick Farland, and White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients with colluding with Smith in order to get an indictment timed to offset the charges being levied at Joe Biden and his crack-smoking, sex-trafficking son Hunter Biden.

From the Loyal Conservatives: According to the White House visitor logs, Jay Bratt, Smith’s top aide, met with Caroline Seba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, on March 31. The New York Post initially reported this meeting. Danielle Ray, an FBI agent from the Washington, D.C. field office, was also present at the meeting alongside Bratt and Seba.

A spokesperson for the special counsel indicated that Bratt’s presence was related to a “case-related interview,” the FBI declined to comment on the matter. According to Jordan’s letter, Bratt had additional meetings with the White House. One was with an advisor to Ron Klain, the Chief of Staff, in September 2021, and the other involved Biden administration officials discussing “national security” two months later.

Now, Jordan is requesting the White House turn over all documents that could explain the nature of those White House visits, as well as all communications between the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice involving Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations.

Jordan accused Bratt of engaging in improper conduct by threatening a lawyer of a Trump employee and offering him favorable treatment in exchange for cooperation with the witch hunt (I mean investigation, no, I mean witch hunt.

More from the Loyal Conservatives: Jordan’s letter underscored the concern that Smith’s investigation and prosecution might lack impartiality and fairness due to these actions. In addition to the classified documents case, Smith indicted Trump for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, citing the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a significant factor.

China Helping Taliban Track, Kill DIssenters Using Huawei Technologies

Paul Collier August 30, 2023

The Taliban government of Afghanistan let the world know that Huawei, China’s CCP-owned digital telecommunications company, is installing a comprehensive surveillance network across the country in the style of the one built in the province of Xinxiang, the home of the ethnic group the Uyghurs, which are being exterminated by the CCP even as we speak.

The Taliban released a series of posts which were later deleted (probably at the behest of the CCP) as they exposed the brutality of the CCP and its CCP-controlled company in aiding an Islamo-Fascist regime in murdering dissenters, conveniently called “terrorists,” a phrase the Chinese government also uses to describe resistance to the brutal regime that the Taliban represent.

Given the nature of China’s regime, it is no surprise the two fascist regimes find such camaraderie with one another.

Bloomberg News claims to have an inside source on what went down with this agreement, stating in their report, Representatives of the Shenzhen-headquartered tech company met with Interior Ministry officials on Aug. 14, the person said, and a verbal agreement was reached regarding the contract. The Interior Ministry initially posted images and details of the meeting on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. In one post, spokesman Mufti Abdul Mateen Qani said the advanced camera system was being considered “in every province of Afghanistan.”

Maui Residents Now Face Eviction as Biden Checks Fail to Cover Catastrophic Losses

Paul Collier August 30, 2023

After receiving their $700 checks from President Biden, the residents of Maui still face mounting debt and expenses that cannot be met. As a consequence, renters on the island now face eviction as landlords seek to remove residents from their homes (the ones still standing).

During an emergency meeting with the Maui County Council, one resident told the council, “We’ve been receiving call after call of people who are being asked to be evicted by their landlords, people who are being displaced during a time of emergency when their house was like the only house standing in their neighborhood, simply because the owner of the house realized that their investment is no longer a sound investment.”

There are so many questionable actions that occurred during this emergency (which we covered here), but one action before the disaster adds to the suspicions many have regarding what has happened and is happening in Maui. An Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing was released by Governor Josh Green (D-HI) just three weeks before the disaster.

According to the press release, “The Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing, signed by Governor Green on July 17, 2023, aims to streamline the development process and empower developers and stakeholders to contribute to the creation of more housing opportunities. The Emergency Proclamation reflects extensive input from state and county agencies that provided details on process maps, application checklists, common areas of approval delays, and recommended touchpoints for engagement.”

Local residents speaking during that emergency meeting raised suspicions about the timing of the order, with one noting, “To my knowledge, this was the first emergency proclamation in the country that didn’t have a preceding incident. This was just from my knowledge, was just to streamline development on Maui and it is allocated all decision-making power to one person, the housing officer of the governor, Nani Medeiros, who’s unelected, who can trump every single thing that you do. They’re meeting with developers, private landowners.”

Actions by the DNC-CCP governor heighten suspicions that this is, in part, a land grab intended to give the state power to convert the free land to one micromanaged by the state. He announced his intentions out loud, saying, “I’m already thinking of ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to the people who were lost.”

In typical DNC-CCP fashion, this un-American governor is using the dead as a shield from criticism for essentially moving like a Marxist to remove private ownership from Maui, at least for the little guy. The party elites, the wealthy class that funds the party, will get exemptions, of course.

He built on his hateful exploitation of the dead to justify state control, saying, “We want this to be something we remember after the pain passes as a magic place. Lahaina will rebuild. The tragedy right now is the loss of life. The buildings can be rebuilt over time, even the banyan tree may survive, but we don’t want this to become a clear space where then people from overseas just come and decide they’re gonna take it. The state will take it and preserve it first.”

Jesse Watters of Fox News, whose team created the report that much of this information came from, added, “The emergency housing proclamation was declared weeks before the actual emergency created a housing emergency. This emergency proclamation has been described as a gift to developers. The residents are apoplectic because of all the emergency powers. They go to a housing czar, and residents get no say. Now, the residents think developers, government officials, and all those billionaires who have bought up land in Hawaii like Zuckerberg, Oprah, Bezos are going to take advantage of the devastation.”

It is almost as if the Governor and these elites knew ahead of time the emergency that was to take place and exactly how to exploit it to further the interests of the party and the elites it serves, at the expense of Americans and our republic.
