Somehow I don’t think that government employees care if the public trusts them.

From the article:

This is not incompetence. It is deliberate resolve.

It is the quiet, methodical usurpation of public trust, the very path to tyranny the Federalist writers warned was most certain.

Independent media now outpace the ability of the government to suppress them. Power fears sunlight because sunlight reveals corruption. Power fears pressure because pressure demands accountability. But most of all, power fears an awakened people.

It's a fine editorial from a man whom the American Left crushed under the "color of law," as the same cabal attempted to crush President Trump and others. He says to great effect:

"For Publius was right, the power of the sword must remain not with the few but with the many."

The only way to ensure this capabilities are not used is to dismantle them.

In the beginning, these tools and capabilities were intended for foreign use. To use outside the US.

But in every single case, without exception, these tools eventually end up being used inside the US, on / against our own people.

End our propaganda, end our mass censorship, end FISA, end the Patriot Act and every based on it.

Give FOIA its teeth back (it’s been castrated by buerocrats).

Force every member of Congress to disclose with public access where ALL their money is, where it comes from, where it’s kept, who gave it to them, when... If they do not like that, they shouldn’t run for PUBLIC office.

The public has a RIGHT to know who these people really are and when you follow the money that tells you more than anything else about them.

These departments, much like the unchecked branches Publius feared, have grown ambitious beyond their constitutional boundaries.

Um, they were CREATED beyond their Constitutional boundaries.

He made some good points but the gravest threat is America turning its back on God; when that happens, as it is now, nothing will save us.

Yes, our enemies are active inside the gates. Election fraud, and every other crime they can come up with, is their game.

What’s weird is I just posted a thread on freeing Tina Peters, and it got taken down at the speed of light.

Who’s running things? Who’s really running things?

"Hundreds of undercover agents do not assemble in the capital disguised as ordinary citizens without forethought, coordination, and command."

Simple logic is sometimes the most powerful.

I’ve long admired Lt. General Michael Flynn and thought what happened to him was abhorrent...glad to know he’s back fighting after he took such a beating...this indeed shows that he was really “hiding his light under a bushel” for many years...turns out to be quite the historian in this piece.

Thanks for posting it.
