Read the entire article. What a mess and quagmire. Could it happen here?

Sleepy Joe is not acting like a victor. The Democrats are not acting like victors. They are acting like a theif who stole something from you and is then telling you that the police will not do anything because they are friends with the police. Thieves do not act like victors, even when they get away with something they are always fearful. The Democrats are fearful. The problem with fearful people is that they can be very dangerous.

The “big cheat” is an epoch changing event.

_Everyone_ in public life has been touched by it.

_Everyone_ in public life has chosen sides.

The kleptocrats can _smell_ it.

They _know_ that there _will_ be an accounting.

They figure if they hang together they won’t hang separately.

That is a good strategy.

However, history shows there is never honor among thieves.

Their ranks will break...they will turn on each other—and then we _will_ get our country back.

Our allies may come from places we least expect—and we need to be wise enough to embrace them when the time is right.

We just need to be smart, cautious when and where they are strong.

We will need to be aggressive and demanding true justice when they are weak.

The Democratic Party has been exposed as a criminal enterprise. Some Republicans have been exposed as accessories.

They will have to be banned from the public square for life—and their ill-gotten gains will need to be clawed back—when the time is right.

Patience is our friend.

Mexico has a different attitude about the law. They don’t think it’s uncorrupted so they have no illusions to prevent them from raising a fuss.

It’s hard to lose the illusion, especially when you’d have to get tough without it, and everyone with a voice is stepping up to forswear getting tough. We mustn’t be uncivilized.

I read a very interesting article mapping our present situation to developments in Spain before their civil war. The overall similarity was constant political and cultural attacks, and a steady grab for power by the Left.

Didn’t Diaz murder Emiliano Zapata?
Did he have anything to do with the Cristero War massacre?

You nailed it. The oligarchs gambled the People wouldn’t be willing to resort to violence to stop them and that is the only way they will be stopped. So far, it looks like the gamble will pay off for them.

Please find a piece written by Samuel Francis in Chronicles 1997 entitled “Revolution in the Air”. It’s an amazing, profound piece. You can find it at counter-currents.com, but I doubt FR will allow posts from that site. Francis says there is always an event that triggers the revolution by destroying the authority and the power of the government. My husband thinks this event was the stolen election.

BTW, I get frustrated sometimes because there are often great pieces at sites with some content that FR doesn’t approve of, so you can’t post them. I read lots of sites with content I don’t always agree with.

Fred Reed also has an interesting column about the proposed Chinese digital currency. It’s posted at unz.com (another site FR doesn’t allow). The comments after the story about how government will use national digital currencies to track and control us is sobering.
