RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/01/tucker_carlsons_frightening_summation_of_whats_happening_in_america.html

On Monday’s Fox News, Tucker Carlson spelled out what America’s corporate overlords are doing in America. Essentially, they are “de-personing” anyone who dares to question what happened in America on November 3-8 or who even supports Trump. In a world run on computers, they are unplugging everyone who does not tow their party line.

I will not link to the video on YouTube because that site is one of the major tech monopolists silencing all who dissent from their political beliefs. I also can’t embed Fox videos here. However, you can see Tucker’s entire monologue here.

The usually ebullient Tucker is manifestly upset, even angry at what’s happening in America. As we all must now, to protect ourselves, he opens by stating that his show immediately and repeatedly denounced the violence at the Capitol (true) because his show is completely opposed to political violence and supports law and order.

He then castigated the new selective enforcement of laws, which means they’re not laws or justice at all. They are merely tyrannical whims. What’s happening now is collective punishment, attacking Americans who had nothing to do with events at the Capitol.

One after another, Tucker details the corporate attacks on people who dared attend or listen to the Trump rally – people who had nothing to do with what happened at the Capitol. (We here at American Thinker also condemn strongly the small number of people who engaged in violent and manifestly illegal activity. We believe absolutely in the Constitution and the rule of law. That doesn’t mean, though, that we don’t believe that there were Antifa and other provocateurs in D.C. intentionally inflaming people and inducing them to act illegally.)

Peter Collier, the late author of Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the Sixties and collaborator with David Horowitz on many books, gives a brilliant lecture at Hillsdale College in this video on the 1960s, a decade of transformation in American politics and culture, and a much-neglected history of what’s behind our current crisis: the Vietnam War and the rise of the New Left.

President Trump has promised an orderly transition for January 20 but that event obliges no one to accept the incoming administration as legitimate. For all but the willfully blind, Democrat operatives stole the election and on January 6 Mike Pence nixed the last prospect for an official recount. That has led many to wonder how they should perceive the duo slated to take power. France’s World War II Vichy regime provides some helpful parallels.

That regime emerged from the Franco-German Armistice of June 22, 1940, and made France the puppet state of Nazi Germany. In the case of Biden-Harris the dominate power is China, one of the most murderous regimes in history. During Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, the Communist regime killed scores of millions, far surpassing Stalin and Hitler.

At Tiananmen Square in 1989 the Chinese people stood up for freedom and human rights. As American politicians looked the other way, betrayed the people, and pushed for China’s inclusion in the World Trade Organization. That was supposed to make the regime more liberal, but it only became more repressive, and China quickly exploited the United States for its own advantage. 

“Biden Gets China,” headlined the Atlantic in January, 2012. As the White House confirmed, “vice president Joe Biden will take the lead on the administration’s next phase China policy.” On Biden’s watch, China became more repressive at home and aggressive abroad, with little if any pushback from the vice president and his boss. Through son Hunter, Joe Biden is the regime’s biggest pushover.

“If Biden wins,” Trump said last October,  “China will own the United States,” and few politicians are more China-compliant than Joe Biden. As the regime tightened the screws on Hong Kong, in violation of their agreement, Biden proclaimed the Communists were “not bad folks” and “not competition for us.” Harris’ story is somewhat different.

“Do you denounce the violence at the Capitol Building?”

Any talking head on radio or TV must now first answer that question in the affirmative before they are allowed to express an opinion. The whole paradigm infers, naturally, that the default position of Trump supporters is to encourage violence. Empirical evidence, of course, tells us the exact opposite. Indeed, the behavior of the MAGA masses at every peaceful rally, every boat parade and every convoy in 2020 is a testament to that reality. The eyewitnesses among the over 500,000 people who gathered at the MAGA rally on the National Mall on January 6 have also related something quite telling: that they actually had absolutely no clue about what went on at the Capitol Building — until they finally got a signal on their phones or went back to their hotels and saw it on the TV.

Listen carefully to one of the eyewitnesses here:

What ACTUALLY happened on the 6 Jan in DC. Please listen

I was also an eyewitness to many things. All bars and restaurants were closed. A curfew was in place. The National Guard was flooding in — and in the chilly darkness Trump supporters had nowhere to go. Even the MAGA loyalists who were gathered on the sidewalks outside hotels downtown were being ushered back inside buildings by Capitol Police.

At my hotel in Chinatown, a MAGA group just inside the foyer held a kind of raging standoff with the police outside the glass front doors, opening them occasionally to vent their frustrations. And their frustrations were not without cause.

EXCERPT:

Congress certified Joe Biden as President in the dead of night Jan. 7 with the rest of Washington, D.C. under curfew and despite massive evidence of electoral fraud in his favor.

Congress thus wrote the latest act of a two-month drama that featured judges in starring roles. Those judges – including Supreme Court justices — arbitrarily used technicalities to deny President Donald Trump the chance to make his legal case as an aggrieved party victimized by fraud.

The only reason — the only reason – for those authorities’ behavior was their own contempt for Trump.

The implications are stunning, and go far beyond any one man or Presidential election. Now, every American — regardless of race, creed, class, gender or any other category — can become a target for the capricious disregard of due process if that American is unpopular with the powers-that-be.

Americans have seen this before. They saw it in Judge Emmet Sullivan’s unprofessional behavior during Gen. Michael Flynn’s trial. They see it now in the lockdowns and mandates issued solely by executive fiat and based on medical quackery, despite scientific evidence showing that masks and social distancing create more harm than good.

But the events of Jan. 6 in Washington drained the last remaining drops of formaldehyde from the nation’s political corpse.

As Congress met to decide Biden’s fate, as Trump rallied thousands of supporters to demand a fair hearing, several protesters breached Capitol security. As a result, Congress had to be recessed and Congressional offices evacuated.

Many entered without resistance because Capitol security — which Congress directly oversees — allowed them to enter. Protesters walked through passages marked by security cords and acted with carte blanche in the empty building.

But the actual “big lie” is that the 2020 election was on the up-and-up and no amount of unpersoning will persuade half the country otherwise. Indeed, it confirms it.

On January 6, the day of the Capitol protest/riot/siege, Rasmussen released a poll that showed only a slight majority of Americans believe Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election fairly. Just 25 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of unaffiliated voters said that Biden’s election was on the square.

The poll’s results largely reflected the mood of the electorate and Republican lawmakers were getting an earful from constituents about congressional inaction. Finally, two months too late, a dozen Senate Republicans concocted a last-ditch plan to “audit” the election results before Inauguration Day, a move backed by most GOP voters and by the president.

It forewarned an ignominious start to the Biden-Harris Administration. Democrats, after suffering unexpected losses in the House and eking out the slimmest majority in the Senate, could hardly claim any sort of mandate with tens of millions of Americans questioning the validity of the national election. A public vetting in Congress, devoid of far-fetched claims peddled by shady operatives, exposing provable evidence of vote fraud, conducted days before the inauguration was the last thing Team Biden and the Democrats wanted.

Trump’s 2024 dreams destroyed by Capitol attack, say advisers

Trump Erases His Legacy

“After Trump leaves the presidency, he will not be coming back.”

“I think the Trump brand is close to destroyed”

Pardon this commentator while he suppresses a hearty guffaw at expressions of the complete ruination of President Donald Trump in response to his supposed role in “inciting” the “insurrection” by his supporters at the Capitol.

As horrifying and inexcusable a state of affairs as that was – and as seemingly effortlessly and painlessly linkable to the president’s exhortation – one must ask: Did opposing politicians and pundits and even once-friendly prognosticators and wobbly Cabinet members have their heads under the proverbial rock the last five years?

Were they not paying attention from the moment he descended the golden escalator to disintegrate every rule of public and political decorum and conventional wisdom? With each handicapper on the face of the earth declaring, “he can’t possibly survive this one”?

https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/11/what-i-saw-at-the-save-america-rally-in-washington-dc-on-jan-6/

President Trump told the assembly: ‘I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.’

Six friends and I drove almost 20 hours to attend the Save America Rally on Jan. 6 in Washington D.C. with hundreds of thousands of people: families, young people, old people, veterans, Americans of every conceivable ethnicity and background. I stood in the freezing cold, shoulder-to-shoulder with other Americans to the point I simply couldn’t move, there were so many people crowded together.

My group reached the grounds of The Ellipse at 6:30 a.m. where a crowd—already pressing people along with considerable force—was just beginning to assemble. President Trump was scheduled to speak at noon, so we stood dutifully, our toes freezing and joints stiffening, for five hours to hear him speak, hoping to hear how we could navigate the muddy water of election irregularities necessary to save our republic.

The crowd went wild with appreciation as Trump took the stage, yet as soon as he began to speak, a sea of voices stilled to listen. After touching on his hopes for his vice president, his disdain of cowardly Republicans including Mitt Romney, President Trump said to us, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women. We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong” (16:25).
