Lawfare is Jihad Against Our Country

Old Joke: what do you call a hundred thousand lawyers at the bottom of the sea? Answer: A good start.

You think the bankers are up to no good? No band of scoundrels has brought more chaos and grief to the life of this republic than the claque that gathers darkly under the banner of “Lawfare.” Its public face is Lawfaremedia.org, run by Benjamin Wittes, a Brookings senior fellow, but that gang functions only to lend a false-front of decorum to the operations of its Democratic Party activist lawyer-army led by Field Marshal Marc Elias, architect of the ballot fraud that has caused Americans to lose faith in their elections.

Marc Elias was the original expeditor of the RussiaGate hoax in 2016 from his perch at Perkins Coie, then Hillary Clinton’s campaign law firm, which laundered payments to Christopher Steele, front-man for Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS political PR shop, which concocted the fraudulent “dossier” and set in motion a train of DC intel blob legal shenanigans aimed at defenestrating Donald Trump from the White House — the Mueller Investigation, impeachment, etc.

While all that was going on through the Trump term, and with the Covid-19 Op providing cover, Mr. Elias engineered the 2020 changes in many states’ election laws and bylaws to permit large-scale mail-in voting, organized ballot-harvesting activities, and introduce the use of drop-boxes for receiving bundled votes. He and his George Soros-financed staff lawyers sued states that attempted to require voter-identification, and provided legal protection for Mark Zuckerberg’s $419-million-dollar assault on election precinct staffing in swing states. When the 2020 election concluded suspiciously, Mr. Elias and his gang joined lawsuits in every case where the balloting was contested and got more than sixty of them dismissed on the basis of “standing,” without the merits of the cases being heard. This is Lawfare.

This time around, 2024, Mr. Elias has done everything possible to ensure that millions of illegal aliens stuffed into swing states will have their putative identities attached to harvested mail-in ballots from addresses such as Walmart parking lots and storage units, and has filed lawsuits wherever a state threatens to require proof of citizenship for voting. He has also filed sixty peremptory lawsuits to obstruct attempts to audit any election count after November 5 — as if it is an affront to democracy to even ask questions about official misconduct.

A parallel Lawfare scam underway is the Democratic Party-sponsored 65 Project that seeks to disbar Trump-adjacent lawyers who attempt to challenge any voting irregularities in this year’s election. Its mission statement reads:

The 65 Project is a bipartisan effort to protect democracy from these once-and-future abuses by holding accountable Big Lie Lawyers who bring fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results, and by working with bar associations to deter future abuses by establishing clear standards for conduct that punish lies about the conduct or results of elections.

Notice the term “Big Lie” to foreclose any inquiry at all into election fraud. That half the people in this country accept such an Orwellian con tells you the vital role played by the perversion of language in the Democratic Party’s war against the citizens of this land. Exactly who is to say, in advance of the event, that any objection to a vote count is fraudulent and malicious? Answer: the people who have maliciously committed fraud. The Democrats have been grooming the public for years with that phrase, the Big Lie, in exactly the same way that pedos groom innocent pubescents who accept the authority of any grown-up, no matter what debauchery they are subjected to.

It’s a tragic turn of fate for our country that the law, and language with it, have been turned into weapons for national suicide. The net result is a nation that can’t think straight anymore and cannot construct any coherent set of rules to live by. So we find ourselves in a society where stealing is no longer a crime, where border-jumping has been downgraded to a clerical error (“undocumented”), where little children are allowed to decide whether they are male or female, where speech that disagrees with the authorities’ agenda is “misinformation” subject to censorship and prosecution, where candidates for the highest office get selected “democratically” without any votes cast, and where you can be run-over and ruined financially in court by the bottomless legal resources of the Deep State for just speaking your mind.

Now I will tell you something that deeply troubles me and might trouble you. Forgive me if I throw the Overton Window wide open here. Readers may know that I am an American Jew. We have entered a new era of antisemitism. Many might say it is due to the conduct of Israel warring against its enemies. I would say it is as much due to the adoption of Jihad politics by the Marxist-Woke campaign as an instrument to promote political and social chaos in America. Lawfare is essentially jihad waged via the courts against our own disintegrating common culture and national interests.

The lineup of the leading Lawfare attorneys are Jews: Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Benjamin Wittes, Andrew Weissmann, Michael Bromwich, Michael Sussmann, Laurence Tribe, Daniel Goldman, Paul Rosenzweig, the exceptionally profligate serial liar Rep. Adam Schiff, and many others.....SNIP

Leftwing lawyers and leftwing judges will cause the fall of our constitutional republic.

I'd like for someone to explain how "Lawfare" is not how dictators operate.

Pedo Joe should keep in mind the old rule "What goes around, comes around!".

Hand-in-love with them is the main/corporate/fascist American media complex.

We can talk about crooked politicians and judges all day long...but if journalists, singular and by organization, were doing their jobs, none of this lawfare and other Democrat subersive tactics would be effectively possible.

Kunstler paints a near hopeless scenario in which our constitutional republic is mired. Virtually all of his columns are depressing. Sadly, he does seem knowledgeable. His comments regarding American Jews, himself being 1, unfortunately seem spot-on. Just look at the lineup in POTUS #46 JRB's admin - Anthony Blinken (SoState), Janet Yellen (SoTreasury), Alexandro Mayorkas (SoHS), Merrick Garland (SoJ), Avril Haines (DNI), Jared Bernstein (Chair of Economic Advisors), Jeff Zients (WH CoS). And there is the Senate Majority leader, Chuck Schumer.

Why add an “It’s the Jews” screed to the the analysis? Besides, they’re JINOs anyway.

These are the folks who need to be brought to true justice in its more harsh form.

Not if you read the author's remarks about it in context, his sadness at the destructive leftist beliefs or acts of his co-religionists of whom he thought or hoped better.

Many Christians feel the same about their OppositeOfTheWord apostate churches like UMC, and believe that only a former co-religionist can call them out effectively.

I'm still trying to grasp how the Supreme Court, in a fit of spinal failure, declared that a suit brought by MULTIPLE STATES TOGETHER had "no standing". What does that even mean? If a bloc of States aren't worthy of hearing where does any individual stand?

I believe Congress still retains the power to define the Supreme Court's powers and limitations. It seems it's past time to exercise that to insure it's staffed by people 1.who will do their jobs, 2.put the nation's interests above partisanship and 3.adhere to Constitutional rule.
