Our Constitutional Republic Has Gone Crazy But There’s Nowhere To Hide
American Thinker ^ | 2 Mar, 2024 | Matt Keener

Even as more people try to escape the madness of society by opting for the simple life, it is inevitable that the government will not let them.

My newsfeed this week was a mixture of Laken Riley’s murder, Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation outside of the Israeli embassy, and Dr. Phil becoming increasingly “red-pilled”—or, at least, attuned to the fact that the left and the mainstream media world (but I repeat myself) in which he works were completely wrong and even insane on topics like COVID restrictions and school closures, the southern border, and promoting the “trans youth movement.” No wonder ever more people want to drop off the grid. The sad thing is that we know the modern American government won’t allow that.

Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, was murdered in Georgia for jogging alone (as the Associated Press insinuated) or by an “Athens Man” (according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution)—anything other than the realities of her alleged murderer Jose Antonio “Athens Man” Ibarra being an illegal migrant from Venezuela, arrested and released once already since his arrival in September 2022.

Meanwhile, Bushnell, an active duty member of the United States Air Force, streamed his suicide outside the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. to protest the war Israel is waging against Hamas. According to Bushnell, in a video he posted online of the horrific and extreme act, he did so because “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.”

It’s crazy—maddening even—to witness the day-to-day live streaming of America’s self-sabotage and destruction.

Somewhere, I can hear Peter Finch’s iconic “I want you to get mad” speech from the Network, which is now more timely than ever:...

I think that the marxists are poking and prodding...taking notes. Trying to see how much the public will take and measuring how fast they can normalize their newest bad behavior.

If it weren’t for family, I would leave the US. There are better countries with better healthcare and lower income needs.

Darling Laken Riley, an innocent 22-year-old nursing student, was murdered by Third World criminal, Jose Antonio ibarra, an illegal migrant from Venezuela, who had been arrested and released once already since his arrival in September 2022.

Must be emphasized.......this useless murder of a young innocent girl is ALL Biden’s doing.

Biden’s demented ignorance-——issuing gilt-edged invitations to these Third World
criminals to cross our borders with impunity-——makes him an accessory to murder.

And better qualities of life, I would add.

But be careful where you leap; the past four years have exposed a lot of countries to be run by dictators and peopled by obsequious imbeciles.

I think a lot of "Plan Bs" are being reconsidered.

I think it’s disingenuous to call it “crazy”, as though it is random lunacy.

America’s children are under assault. From fake-school closures, masking, anti-white racism to this new push for sexual mutilation and sterilization, America’s children really don’t stand a chance.

Thank you for referencing that article MtnClimber.

"Our Constitutional Republic Has Gone Crazy But There’s Nowhere To Hide"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

First, the bottom line ...

Consider that political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

Next, contrary to the idea that there is nowhere to hide from corrupt state and federal governments, elections have consequences.

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattetive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787).

The tsunami of Democratic and Republican Trump supporters who are exhausted with DC scandals must IMMEDIATELY primary ALL state and federal lawmakers and executives up for reelection this year, except for MTG, Gaetz and Company, (and others?).

After all, lawmakers and executives not only continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies, but they seem to be actually protecting misguided Biden.

Patriots need to replace their beloved but worthless incumbent career lawmakers with new patriot lawmakers who will not only support hopeful Trump 47 to finish draining the swamp, but will also do the following.

New lawmakers also need to support Trump in leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so, unconstitutional federal taxes stopped by repealing the 16th (16A; direct taxes) and 17th (17A, popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).

Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers indicated by the excerpts above.

In fact, consider that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo).

In other words, the worst problem that the peacetime country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is this imo. Citizens would probably get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find legislative remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Again, consider that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

Your Constitutional Republic is dead, broken into a thousand pieces, impossible to repair. Only one team has plans for a permanent replacement.

Your team had better start thinking about what follows, because your opposition is already far down that road.

It hasn’t gone crazy. It committed suicide. It is run by a massive bureaucracy that HATES the nation.
