Private corporations now hold power over U.S. elections that is not accountable to the American voters. Secretive privately owned, profit-driven voting machine companies can withhold source codes, data, and security passwords from voters without recourse. They can veto any legal attempt at transparency and accountable, such as denying subpoenaes from elected officials.

A letter send from Dominion President & CEO John Poulos to lawyer Kory Langhofer demonstrates this disturbing reality: The American people no longer even control their own elections. This is the lesson of Dominion Voting Systems’ response to the Arizona Senate’s subpoena for election-related servers and passwords on Monday.

Found it. Years ago I liked Emmet Tyrell. Then I think he didn’t like Trump, not sure. Haven’t read him in years. (He didn’t write this piece).

Tyranny Has Returned to the US, This Time by Proxy
A hallmark of tyranny is the unequal application of justice.

https://spectator.org/americans-tyranny-ruling-class-proxy/

n 1776, the newly minted Americans declared their unequivocal rejection of government tyranny. Back then, tyranny was simple and direct. Today, it’s not.

Tyranny describes “cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control.”

Under 18th century British rule, control was applied directly: aristocrats decreed and government officials — bureaucrats, police, and military — enforced their decrees. The rule of law was arbitrary, applied unevenly depending on class, social position, and wealth.

Today, Americans are tyrannized by their own professional political ruling class indirectly. Rather than passing unconstitutional laws, federal politicians hold press conferences, make pronouncements, and generate advisories or guidelines. Under threat of being canceled, private citizens implement these guidelines, becoming agents or proxies of the federal government.

Their tyranny involves all aspects of American life: healthcare, communication, the marketplace, the court system, border control, education, work, and recreation.

When COVID struck, Washington imposed martial law indirectly. People were locked down, prevented from travel or assembly, and were not allowed to work. Free speech was curtailed, as was the “free exercise” of religion.

Americans no longer had their Bill of Rights.

With COVID, Washington and Dr. Fauci turned a bad respiratory virus, dangerous to only a small segment of the population, into an existential threat for all Americans, impelling Washington to take total control of the country. Fauci repeatedly claimed (still does) that he is merely following the science. The complicit media actively suppressed evidence repudiating Fauci’s narrative. Hydroxychloroquine could have saved lives, but information about the drug was labeled misinformation and “debunked.”

Note that tyranny is indirect. The federal ruling class claims clean hands: “We merely made suggestions — WE didn’t do anything to you!” It was CDC guidelines that forced businesses to close their doors, imposed mask mandates, and moved tens of millions of Americans from their workplaces into solitary confinement. The result was a sharp increase in illicit drug usage and suicide, especially in those at virtually no risk for COVID death: children and teenagers.

Hospitals, schools, businesses, and the military are acting as agents of a tyrannical government, separating Americans from each other and forcing them to take an experimental medicine, the COVID vaccination, often against their will.

Well, the AMA has now utterly revealed itself as part of the enemy. I wish they’d go back to “sex” and not “gender” but they did that for a nefarious reason, of course.

AMA to Urge End of Sex ID on All Birth Certificates

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/ama-to-urge-end-of-sex-id-on-all-birth-certificates/

It is astonishing how the transgender moral panic has swept actual science aside. The American Medical Association Board of Trustees (BOT) just passed a resolution that will have the AMA lobbying to end the designation of sex in all future birth certificates.

The resolution distinguishes between the “Certificate of Live Birth” — which is used for simple data collection and vital statistics — and a “Birth Certificate,” which is proof for the born person that he or she was indeed born. (Can I still say that?)

The AMA wants biological sex recorded for the former as a private matter of record-keeping. But it will now urge that birth-certificate forms carry no designation of sex to prevent future discrimination based on identity and to allow the person to decide later what sex they really are. From the June 2021 BOT recommendation 15:

Vital statistics data is a fundamental source of health information. In the U.S., the Standard Certificates of Live Birth form is the primary means by which uniformity of data collection and processing is achieved. Birth certificates, on the other hand, are issued by the government to individuals as proof of birth. Sex designation, as collected through the standard form and included on the birth certificate, refers to the biological difference between males and females. Today, the majority of states (48) and the District of Columbia allow people to amend their sex designation on their birth certificate to reflect their individual gender identities, but only 10 states allow for a gender-neutral designation, typically “X,” on the birth certificate.

Existing AMA policy recognizes that every individual has the right to determine their gender identity and sex designation on government documents. To protect individual privacy and to prevent discrimination, U.S. jurisdictions should remove sex designation on the birth certificate.
