Time to Say No
When Joe Biden stands with his hands clenched, his face pulled taut and Botox-smooth, his eyes mean slits, he recalls the banjo kid in Deliverance. So observed Victor Davis Hanson, and now I can’t unsee it.
Biden is at his ugliest in these moments, as he strains to get through the script before whatever they are giving him wears off. Imagine the coordination required, timing naps and meals and pharmaceuticals to achieve peak possible lucidity during a speech. And Dr. Jill is ever-present, to lead him off the stage as he falters.
Mr. Biden is not the leader of the free world in anything but name.
An election looms and if you squint you can see shadowy outlines of the plan. Unless the voters screw it up, the asset firms, intelligence agencies, defense contractors and the rest will hedge this election the way they’ve hedged most of them: no matter which side wins, they won’t lose.
Whatever one thinks about Donald Trump, during and after his presidency the people who really run the government got a taste of how easy it is to manipulate the populace into accepting—even advocating for—illegal and unconstitutional acts. They have been caught in lie after lie, but this has not caused a retreat. After impeachments and political prosecutions, just yesterday NBC News reported that, “A network of public interest groups and lawmakers…is quietly devising plans to foil,” any effort on the part of a re-elected Trump to “pressure the U.S. military to carry out his political agenda.”
Read that again.
They are so confident the American people are primed to accept unconstitutional overreach without noticing or caring, they don’t even try to hide it anymore.
The Constitution of the United States is clear:
“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices…”
The structure the founders put in place has a purpose: only Congress can declare war, and when they do the president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
In fact, the whole premise of the United States is this: the people, and not the elite class, have the power. Checks and balances were put in place to prevent the very things that are happening right now.
Anyone who presents a danger to the ruling class is marked for destruction.
Our cousins throughout the West are rushing ahead to the modern era’s authoritarianism-for-your-own-good, unprotected by our Constitution. Look at Canada, Ireland, the UK, Scandinavia. Bank accounts frozen for a political protest. Jail time for speech in the privacy of your home. Arrest for having a meme on your phone.
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say the United States is the last stand in the West, and 2024 is the year that will decide the next hundred. Technology was supposed to usher in a new era of personal freedom. Instead, it enabled levels of surveillance, propaganda, and control that Mao could only fantasize about. Elite overproduction—selling too many people a dumbed-down college experience—has produced legions of programmed drones. They don’t understand constitutional rights. Asking them to care about those rights is like asking my teenager to care about grocery inflation. Food is always there, with no thought or effort on his part. It appears, is consumed, is somehow replenished.
When Biden shakes his clenched fists and sneers, the message is one of fear and contempt. It is intended to increase tension and distrust amongst the rabble. His administration—whoever is running it— is encouraging mass illegal immigration at a scale that should be considered an invasion. The cabal is putting together a Red Guard to menace the skeptical and the uncompliant. They are importing a vast peasant class of dependents who will keep them in power.

Now is the time to see this for what it is. To stand up and say no.
It is no mistake that Nikki Haley, whose personal wealth comes from defense contractors, is the darling of the left. Haley is a replacement for Joe Biden, who cannot be drugged through another year, and Kamala Harris, who is unelectable. Haley is funded by the left. She shares their values. I am not the only person to see this, clear as day.
But they can only hedge election outcomes when we are lulled into not thinking by late night TV, The View, and CNN. This is a time for vigilance. We must not fall prey to what Mike Benz calls “digital MK Ultra.”
NO must be the message in this election. No more surveillance state, no more social engineering, no more mass migration, no more unnecessary wars and interventions, no more high inflation, no more manipulation. If it is to stop, it stops with us, here and now.
