Stroke of a Pen

Column #425    October 20, 2023

Our country is literally a stroke of a pen away from being a dictatorship. It’s the New World Order’s greatest prize due to its great wealth, large military, abundant national resources, and large population of compliant people (many who are fat, dumb, and happy) who believe in law and order.

We still have another 15 months of Biden/Obama rule which is backed by a totally irrational, goose-stepping, liberal Democratic party. The lot of them embraces woke ideologies that only cultists can understand. Modern Democrats are so out of touch they actually believe the policies they embrace have greatly strengthened the county. But our nation’s problems are not only the faults of Democrats. In most cases there has been a number of compromising liberal Republicans (RINOs) who lack moral compasses that vote with them which is why the political pendulum has swung so far to the left over the past 100 years.

Because so many politicians, from both sides of the isle, are in politics for themselves rather than the long-term good of the country, the USA is grappling with numerous problems. They include national debt, border, restricted freedoms, Ukraine-Russia, Iran-Israel-Hamas, crime, addictions, debauchery, wokeism, schools, military, legal system, censorship, deep state, foreign policy, energy policy, taxes, inflation, economy, weaponized legal system, police state, lying, medical deception, child mutilation, and more.

Our country’s debt of $33.7 trillion (up $0.6 trillion in four weeks) has already reached lethal levels. The open border has too. Excessively reckless spending, agreed to by both sides of the isle, has created a debtor’s atomic bomb—an exponentially increasing interest expense that is literally eating our country’s lunch. The open border, mostly a Democratic Party concept based on the New World Order’s idea for creating a peaceful world, is ripping open the underbelly of our country. The result is our country has been and still is being invaded by a hoard of unvetted people who are being dispersed throughout the country by the border patrol.

Just as it takes either morons or traders to authorize so much national debt, it takes morons or traders to open the borders and allow anyone and his hound dog into the country who wants to walk in. I hear complaints about irrational spending and the open border every single day. But where are the Congressmen on the spending issue? I don’t see them working on even attempting to balance the budget. It’s the same with the border issue? They hold hearings but nothing changes. As a body they are morons or traders rather than effective administrators.¹

Another thing to wonder about is that the open border violates numerous laws. But the enforcers of those laws (border patrol) are the ones who open the gates and escort the illegals throughout the country where they are treated like guests. Yes, I heard that this year they apprehended about 250 illegals who were on the terrorist list, but tens of thousands of them have gotten in. So the protectors of the border, the very people for which American citizens pay salaries and provide nice benefits, are perfectly willing to follow illegal orders that one day may pave the way for mass murders in our country.

This is what I mean when I say our citizens can lose all their freedoms “by a stroke of a pen.” The very people who have sworn to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” are willfully following orders of tyrants or the whims of their own personal agendas rather than uphold their oaths of office.²

Tell the people in law enforcement to arrest a person who doesn’t wear a mask in a park and they’ll do it. Tell them to arrest parents protesting debauchery in their children’s schools, and they’ll arrest them. Tell them to attack an ex-president with bogus charges and tie him up in a kangaroo court and they’ll do it. Tell them to raid an ex-president’s personal home and they’ll do it. Tell them to no longer enforce border security, and they will open the gates. The power of our government is such that its employees will do whatever they’re ordered to do and the MSM will go along with it. A simple order from upon high and that’s how quickly our citizen rights can be snatched away.

Our deep state actors and unprincipled leaders are true tyrants. Unless we do a better job of voting for principled leaders, our nation will destroy itself mostly from within. The struggle in Congress to select a principled speaker is a prime example. Jim Jordan is my pick because he’s more interested in America than his own personal interests. He has shown an ability to tell it like it is. Many of the blokes in the House of Representatives do not consider those traits as proper governance because as wishy-washy representatives they are more concerned about raising money for themselves (corruption) and their reelections.

We need someone who can tell the truth to the citizens of our country. The truths will be the hard facts. Those facts start with our indebtedness and the sacrifices required to get them under control. It involves our lame-brained foreign policy. For example it should be explained how stupid it is for Biden to boastfully say: “We are the United States of America for God’s sake. The most powerful nation in the history of the world.” “We can take care of both of these (Ukraine and Israel) and maintain our own overall international defense. We have the capacity to do this, an obligation to do this.”

Biden’s answers to his wars are more money for support and aid as if our country has unlimited funds for anything—“for God’s sake.”

A good leader has to tell the truth about how our open borders have invited possibly hundreds of thousands of foreign jehadists, who now hide in sleeper cells, into our borders to peacefully await orders to attack the American heartland when appropriate. These terrorists must be hunted down and deported. A good leader keeps our country strong, but out of conflicts. He has to understand how our nation’s foreign policy has been a detriment in the world. And of course, the many other problems we’re confronted with have to be recognized and faced with the truth.

As Buckminster Fuller, the famous 1940s architect and systems theorist, famously said: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Keep that in mind when thinking about the government’s budget.

As citizens we also must change the way our culture has been going the past 30 months or we’ll all be losers. That’s why between now and next November we must be more vocal than ever because, with a stroke of a pen, it can all change. For instance, what if the next election is postponed because of a made-up national emergency? The people in charge looked at Jan6 as an insurrection, but the participants in the mob shutting down the Capitol on October 18, 2023, to protest Israel and support the Palestinians are considered patriots.

We’re certainly living in interesting times—being on the cusp of WWIII.

To your health.
