The Morning Report — 8/10/22Good morning, kids. Wednesday and in the wake of the junta's Gestapo-like raid on Mar-a-Lago, the pundits are out there analyzing the fallout. A number of them are prognosticating that this maneuver all but guarantees President Trump will at the very least be the nominee and that what happened makes his re-election in 2024 a lead pipe cinch. It is amazing to me that after all we have witnessed up to and including this revolting episode that people still believe that regular order, elections, and life in general in America goes on as it always has, when in fact the republic as it was, or as we had always imagined it, has fallen and in fact fell a long time ago. Aww, isn't he cute? Along with planted, fabricated evidence, they'll have a DC jury pool along with the junta's answer to Roland Freisler, Emmett Sullivan, on the bench presiding. That should be more than "enough," Michael. In any case, to reiterate, what does it really mean to have elections in the wake of what happened at Mar-a-Lago and really in the wake of 2020? And this is not an acute problem. Electoral fraud happens at every level and has been going on for decades (see 1960 as one example), and when we collectively decide to accept it, then it leads directly to the situation we find ourselves in. We are fallible human beings, and temptation is what it is, but this just crosses the line into something that was unimaginable even just a few years ago. The corruption is so deep and dark that only now are we seeing it. It's not just in politics but it has seeped into every corner of our society. I know I've had this quote from Abraham Lincoln before but it is just so striking in its accuracy that it might very well be our epitaph: In actuality, Lincoln is partially correct insofar as the ideology that infected our society did come from abroad in the form of Marxism which spread thanks to the importation of the acolytes of the Frankfurt School. But evil is evil and we just took Herbert Marcuse's ball and ran with it on our own. Let's look at this corruption in light of the raid. The FBI is, or was, a fabled institution that so many of us believed was staffed with brave, capable, incorruptible crime fighters that kept Americans safe in their homes. From the time we all got a peek up J. Edgar Hoover's skirt and saw more than a little ankle up until the present day, fools like Andrew McCarthy still claim that it's staffed by 99% good-guy ham-and-eggers and it's the political stooges at the top that ruin the image. And yet, you can rail all you want at Christopher Wray and James Comey, but it wasn't them rifling through Melania's lingerie drawer. If the FBI rank and file are such decent, honest, ethical people, surely they'd all have refused to participate, blown the whistle ahead of time and resigned en masse rather than "just follow orders." At the very least, I will grant that the average FBI agent while perhaps not necessarily eager to be the tip of the spear in a Gestapo-like illegal raid on the de facto head of the political opposition of a divided nation, is certainly human. They will get along to go along because they know it could just as easily be them rotting away in the Garland Archipelago along with the J6 political prisoners. Don't get me wrong; I'm damned sure there are agents at the FBI who have orgasmic delight in putting their boots on the neck of average people and you better believe more than just a handful were on the scene ripping Trump's home apart with gusto. How far we have fallen. Or really how far the insidious bastards who rotted us out from within have dragged us down. Just to reiterate, it's not just the FBI. It's in every department of every agency. Not just law enforcement or national security but everywhere in the bureaucracy which, to remind you (as if I really need to) is in the main unconstitutional in its founding, scope and purview yet is where the real political power resides in this nation. With multiple agencies weaponized, as we have seen clearly with the DOJ, FBI, and intelligence community, will the IRS pick up low-level enforcement? The FBI can’t arrest all of the regime’s opponents. It doesn’t need to. Enough tax liens, additional payments, and lengthy investigations will subdue most average Americans. The process is the punishment, and the IRS can bankrupt the average family faster than the DOJ bankrupted Gen. Michael Flynn. According to Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, Democrats have vowed to revive their banking surveillance. You may recall that their initial Build Back Better proposal was to audit every banking transaction over $200. Supposedly that is why the IRS needed to double in size in the first place. And the IRS is doubling in size. Manchin and Sinema will obviously cave with the correct incentives. And you should not put anything past Democrats at this point. Does the raid on Mar-a-Lago mean anything in terms of electoral politics? That depends if you believe that electoral politics is going to mean anything in terms of halting this madness and even having the chance, slim though it might be if we do win and win massively, of starting the process of reversing course. It gets harder and harder with each passing day and each new outrage to believe that voting is a factor. In any case, I don't think we can necessarily go back to what was. But we can't lay down and surrender either. Something big is in the wind. Dictators and despots ultimately will fall, but not before leaving millions of people dead in their wake. I hope it never comes to that. I fear it will. For now, we just have to stay engaged. And enraged. FYI: Obviously, the Mar-a-Lago story is sucking all the oxygen out of the news but there are some important stories in the links so do take the time to peruse them.
