Four Ways the Deep State Betrays Americans
American Thinker ^ | 27 Jun, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

And why mockery is a profound form of resistance.

Why is it that whenever I call customer support to get a replacement for my broken America, I end up on the line with an operator from China? I kid...but only a little. Four separate stories this last week hit the nail on the head:

(1) In defending America's two-tiered (in)justice system currently dedicated to covering up Biden family crimes while persecuting Trump and his supporters, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland had the audacity to declare that any condemnation of the secret police "constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy and essential to the safety of the American people."

Hear that, plebes? "Democracy" will survive only if the people's voices are silenced and the powerful institutions are obeyed. The opinions of commoners are "attacks," while the crimes of institutions are "essential." To save "democracy," defend the dictatorship! If Garland had been speaking German, he could have easily been mistaken for Himmler or Heydrich defending the "Night of the Long Knives" as necessary for "public safety." The death of "democracy" always comes from a thousand separate cuts made for the people's "own good."

(2) Pretend President Biden stumbled into California to push his plans for gun confiscation and mocked the idea that the Second Amendment is an essential check against government tyranny. "So what's the deal with the idea that it's an absolute?"

SNIP

It occurs to me, in fact, that if the Deep State ever forces ordinary Americans to fight for their freedoms, those same Americans should later construct a monument consecrating their victory. Its epitaph could serve as an enduring warning: "In remembrance of all those who refused to leave others alone."

Great article, great summary”

“Why is America broken today? Let’s see: (1) Gestapo chief Garland believes “democracy” requires obedience. (2) Chinese Puppet Biden wants to disarm Americans before they figure out they have been betrayed. (3) Free speech exists only for those under the government’s protection. (4) And the Deep State has transformed the United States from undisputed “superpower” to an economic dependent of the Chinese.”

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C. S. Lewis

As long as people continuing voting for a party and not what the party espouses the Deep State will continue to thrive.
