All the Lies: They’ve Turned Us Into a Rotting Banana Republic
American Spectator ^ | September 5, 2016 | Jed Babbin

It’s a matter or record. Americans now populate the largest, wealthiest and most powerful banana republic in the world. The differences between Obama’s America and Maduro’s Venezuela are defined only by degree.

The defining characteristics of banana republics are a matter of history. First, the law is not enforced against a chosen class in a banana republic, usually the allies of the autocrat in charge. Second, foreign policy is always performed in the autocrat’s interests and often in disregard of the nation’s actual interests. This describes how America functions in the era of President Obama.

The newly-released FBI documents on the investigation of Hillary Clinton make it clear beyond argument that the fix was in and that the FBI never had any intention of recommending that she should be prosecuted for her crimes.

That is very hard to write. I have had very good friends among the agents of the FBI, men of unshakeable dedication to the fair enforcement of the law. But that is no longer the FBI’s goal, as just a few references to the documents published last week reveal.

The last step are rigged elections like the PRI held under the old regime in Mexico.

Just stuff ballot boxes and steal the election for the regime’s favored candidate.

We’re getting there.

The American Spectator writer is apparently unaware that his publication is partially responsible for Hillary remaining in politics this long.

What happened was that the Spectator started pulling its punches on the Clintons suddenly and without explanation just as the Vince Foster “suicide” investigation was picking up steam back in the 1990s.

The time has come for the Spectator to come clean and tell us how the Clintons got to them.

They’re going to steal the election.

And all we’re going to get is a tax hike and a condescending lecture on how it will make America a better place. :(

I was told by a close friend and collaborator of Bob Tyrrell’s that he thought the face-to-face encounter of Tyrrell and the Rapist in a Washington restaurant was a pivotal moment. He said that Clinton charmed Tyrrell—and the Spectator went soft on Clinton immediately after that.

I have lived in worked in banana republics and muslim autocratic republics. When I talk to my friends I make note of the fact that what is happening in the United States I have seen before and it is the harbinger of dictatrorship.

They think I am a fool. They are wrong!

“Just stuff ballot boxes and steal the election for the regime’s favored candidate. We’re getting there.”........

Unfortunately, we have been there for some time.

James Comey is a traitor to the people of The United States.

He is a coward who has no business being in law enforcement.

The FBI won’t do its job, so it should be disbanded.
