A Country Descending into Madness
American Thinker ^ | 5 Aug, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 08/05/2023 4:54:17 AM PDT by MtnClimber

This is what it looks like when a country descends into madness. Two standards of "justice" preclude any justice at all.

Hillary Clinton kept top-secret information on a home-brew private server that was infiltrated by malicious foreign actors, and she suffered no legal consequence — even after having destroyed Blackberry devices and other subpoenaed evidence of criminal culpability. President Trump keeps personally declassified documents in his home, and the FBI sends a SWAT team into Mar-a-Lago so that Merrick Garland's goons can throw Trump in prison.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama conspired with the Intelligence Community to frame Donald Trump as a Russian spy and remove him from office, and not a single perpetrator involved in that incendiary plot has been indicted. Trump correctly points out that mail-in ballot fraud irreparably marred the 2020 election, and the violent thugs in control of D.C. level criminal charges against him that could lead to his execution. Clinton and Obama participated in a wide-ranging international conspiracy that falsely blamed Hillary's election loss on the Russians — further dividing the American populace by preying on its fears and prejudices, while escalating tensions with a hostile nuclear State. Trump exercises his constitutional right to free speech, and prosecutors who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution instead betray their duties in order to persecute a political enemy.

There is no shortage of these abrasively hypocritical comparisons. Since 2016, the D.C. Uniparty and permanent Deep State have hyperventilated about Trump starting WWIII, destroying the economy, locking up his enemies, and using the powers of his office to enrich himself. None of that happened. He was the "peace president" who brought wealth back to the middle class, while taking no salary for his public service. His reward? Unending attacks from the corrupt FBI...

The projection of the left is becoming clearer and clearer, except to other leftists who don’t see it.

“The projection of the left is becoming clearer and clearer, except to other leftists who don’t see it.”

Who unfortunately comprise a significant fraction of the general public.

No, about 40% are, the rest of us are waiting for our opportunity to sweep up the mess they have made and start rebuilding our lives and our country.

“On the road to tyranny, we’ve gone so far that polite political action is about as useless as a miniskirt in a convent. Something’s eventually going to happen. Government will bloat until it chokes us to death, or one more tyrannical power grab will turn out to be one too many. Maybe it’ll be one more round of “reasonable gun control” or one more episode of burning children to death to save them from “child abuse.” Whatever, something will snap.”

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I don’t see it as madness, I see it as planned tyranny. The deep state tyrants are in the final stages of taking control.

We’ve witnessed many years of propaganda thru the media and education. The masses have been indoctrinated and have little clue of what freedom and liberty provides for their welfare. Instead they now seem to look for security via big government for their protection.

What some of us see as madness, many many now see as normal.

November 2024 will be the pivot point.

Either we get this nation turned around and moving again in the direction of its constitutional foundation, or we dive off the cliff into the abyss of communist tyranny and economic doom.

“Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama conspired with the Intelligence Community to frame Donald Trump...”

And THAT is NOT misinformation.

Wow, great take on our current situation. A decent into madness indeed - brought on by our abandonment of the God of Abraham and subsequent embrace of paganism.

Didn't work out well for the Israelis in 587 BC....

It is criminal how President Trump has been treated. People are not believing it. The deep state better be careful and take a lesson from Bud Light. People are fed up, and businesses are taking it int he shorts all the time.

Trunp committed espionage because he stole his own documents with depraved, criminal intent, but Hillary didn’t-—even though her unsecured, private server got hacked. But the guy who went to prison because he took a selfie aboard a “top secret” nuclear submarine & oosted it on Instagram also committed espionage because he had depraved, criminal intent, but when Joe Biden & his staff gave top secret tanks & helicopters to our enemies when he abandoned Afghanistan-—they did not have any depraved, criminal intent—so it is not espionage. I hope this is now clear to you unbelievers.

One important lesson to learn is that it’s much easier to control affluent people than poor people. Hence my new tagline.
