The Constitutional Crisis Deciding the Fate of America’s Liberty is NOW
Townhall.com ^ | June 14, 2021 | Cliff Nichols

Imagine if a cadre of very clever and industrious thieves formed a grand conspiracy to rob some place, like say … Fort Knox. Then, when the time was right, they were finally able to pull it off in the dark of night and get away with all the gold … for a while.

What would you as an American expect to happen if they were eventually caught?

Should it matter if, by that time, they were already ensconced in mansions, dressing well, driving expensive cars, mingling with high society and otherwise enjoying the good life in every imaginable way?

Would you ever consider just telling them that, if they promise never to do it again, we’ll simply agree to let them get away with it … but just this once?

Or, would you be one of those old-fashioned deplorable types who would be more inclined to demand justice now? You know, like, want to put them in prison, get as much of the gold back as possible and then look forward to seeing the movie about it when it comes out?

How a majority of Americans would answer this question may afford some clarity to the fork in the road our society is approaching right now … and, with lightning speed.

If state forensic audits are ultimately allowed to establish beyond all reasonable doubt that the outcome of the 2020 election was fraudulently stolen, America will be confronted with having to deal with the incredulous discovery of the largest successful criminal conspiracy the world has ever witnessed—a coup d’état that enabled criminals operating in the dark of night to unlawfully seize complete control of the government of the United States of America … together with all the power that comes with it.

If that becomes an unavoidable truth, it will present America with a constitutional crisis unlike any it has ever dealt with, and that, in turn, will put before it a question it will not be able to avoid answering.

What to do?

Will our society have the metal to defend its liberty by upholding the Rule of Law and insisting on justice now—i.e. by holding the criminals responsible for the fraud accountable and retrieving that which was stolen—i.e. the outcome of the election?

Or not … as the Supreme Court, a majority in Congress and those presently in control of the Executive Branch obviously seem to prefer.

Which of these two paths America will choose is the moral crucible now forming in this already divided nation where the ethics, character, integrity and intestinal fortitude of this generation of Americans could soon be put to the test.

Ultimately, it is a test that will require America to determine whether its liberty will survive or be forfeited to those who made a mockery of our last election.

And I, for one, have my doubts about the outcome.

Just this past Friday, Attorney General Garland strongly suggested that, in light of the recent audit activity, the full weight of the Justice Department has been ordered to investigate any and all violations of law that may have been committed … not by those who may have committed election fraud … but, by those even thinking about conducting audits that might uncover the crimes.

Imagine that!

Apparently, we now live in an America where it is going to be made a crime to investigate a crime.

So might speak the thief emboldened by his recently acquired illicit wealth who would attempt to intimidate those who would even think about wanting to look inside Fort Knox to see if any gold had been stolen in the first place.

At minimum, it is a strategy born of evil … but, also one that could be very effective.

Meanwhile, I recently attended two different meetings where patriotic conservative Americans gathered to discuss strategies for retaking our country in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. One presenter advocated a convention of states pursuant to the 5th Amendment, and the other encouraged like-minded people to run for all local and state offices in future elections.

That’s all well and good, so far as such strategies may help at some point in the future ... but not very much help for dealing with what’s coming at us right now.

Thus, at both meetings I posed a single question to each speaker: What responsive strategy has their group developed to respond right now, if it is discovered that the 2020 election was actually stolen? In both cases, their response was the same as all who were in attendance. A prolonged silence coupled with looks that put me in mind of deer in the headlights.

I am not a military strategist, but even I know that an army lacking a strategy on how to win isn’t likely going to work out very well for the troops at the end of the day.

To his credit, President Trump recently asked Newt Gingrich, Mark Meadows and Lindsay Graham to help deal with this problem by drafting a modernized version of Newt’s earlier Contract with America. Presumably, it is to help unify his patriotic supporters across the country around a core platform of shared ideas and ideals.

They agreed to do it, but said it would take some time.

The problem, however, is that time is something we don’t have a lot of, in light of the fact that Arizona’s audit is expected to wrap up this week and others, if they occur, possibly by the end of summer. Waiting for Newt’s crew or the mid-term elections of 2022 to come up with a unifying platform is a luxury we can’t afford. And, might even be a waste of time, in light of the fact that such platforms of patriotic ideas have already been presented in writings such as The Declaration of Liberty, which President 45 would do well to read soon, I don’t mind saying. That is …before the current powers that be are able to de-platform it.

Given the thinly veiled message Garland effectively delivered to America Friday, if we don’t speak—and act—in defense of our liberty right NOW, it is now beyond denial that people like the Attorney General fully intend to use the color of the authority of their office—even if that authority was unlawfully obtained by theft—to compel all Americans to hold their peace … forever.

So, will the American people have what it takes to put in play an effective strategy to hold seditionist criminals who stole that election accountable, retrieve and restore that which was stolen, and thereby protect their liberty … or will they choose to surrender their liberty to tyranny?

We’ll know the answer to this question very soon.

Fall 2020 — The Democrats are stealing the election! — But, there’s nothing that can be done, because states have 100% control over how they handle these things.

Summer 2021 — Republicans in several states are trying to ascertain if the elections in those states were honest — HEY!! You can’t do that! The Attorney General will bring the full power of the federal government down upon you to make darn sure that your state does not pursue this matter!

I don’t think we’re going to vote our way out of this mess.

“President” Biden himself is presenting the best argument for restoring Trump to office, in his senile bumbling demonstrated at the G7 conference most recently; Harris also has shown herself to be President, leaving who? Nancy Pelosi?

Republics are founded by people with a common interest: freedom from tyranny. The founding principles are bedrock, but as time goes on, that solid foundation is washed over by detritus. People become complacent. From one generation to the next, lessons are lost. Battles won become footnotes in history books, oftentimes forgotten or skewed to fit an agenda. As the silt of decades piles up on top of that bedrock, people become more disconnected from the ideas that led to the founding of our nations.

We are at a point where people have learned they can vote themselves largesse. We begrudgingly pay taxes in myriad forms to remain free, because choosing not to pay those taxes means our liberty is stripped from us. One very effective means to control an out of control federal government is to starve it of funds, but the grand majority of Americans are not going to risk a SWAT raid at 3 AM for failure to pay taxes.

Sadly, we, as a society, have to feel exceptional pain before we try to wrench control of the rusty lever of power back to our side. We’ve grown comfortable with always-on Internet, entertainment across a variety of sources and subject matters, health care that ranks among the best in the world, and relative freedom to move about without duress.

COVID showed us what it’s like to be restricted in movement, and many of us thumbed our nose at it; but for many, the struggle was all too real. Many of those people chose to flee from their captors. The current migration of New Yorkers to Florida and Californians to Arizona and Texas are good examples. The problem is that while states have sovereignty, we’re only an election away from that sovereignty being ceded to a federal leviathan or a new batch of tyrants wrenching controls at the state levels.

Americans as a whole have not truly felt pain. It’s coming. There’s an inexorable march toward inflation, government overreach, and travel restrictions that is being effected at the federal level and will bleed into the states under the guise of a fiduciary quid pro quo. There aren’t enough gutsy governors in our country to pass on federal largesse in the name of liberty. As the pain grows, Americans may start to get uppity, but by then, it’ll likely be too late to do much of anything.

Right on! The question is: does anyone care enough to do something about it? That is the rub! (Steep hill to climb.)

The idea that the AG can stop these state audits should make everyone furious. The fact that the election was fraudulent should make all Patriots rebel. This must be exposed as the truth (eh, Joe?) and the perpetrators must be identified and punished. Period. This must not stand.

If one asks what the founders would do, they already showed us the example. Even if I lose everything including my life, time has come to lock and load. Nanzi Picklehead hasn’t seen an insurection, what she saw was freedom in action. The peoples house, we are about to take it back, i pray.

What was particularly bizarre was the AG spoke of voter intimidation. How can there be voter intimidation more than half a year after the fact?

Reading the first few lines before the mean topic was brought up (stolen elections) I was trying to predict what the article was about. Initially I came up with the elections, then I second guess myself and came up immigration. Then I realized there was more than one topic that could fit. How did we get here? Compromise. The liberals love compromise; the conservatives regret but always surcumb to it. the line may start at the crest of the hill but it always slides down the hillside into the scum at the bottom. Politics is the art of compromise! Perish the thought of a person holding to their standards and be a cog in the wheels of progress.

The votes were counted, certified, delivered, and accepted. Done. There is no reversal.
Elect leaders who will get it right.

a grand conspiracy to rob some place, like say … Fort Knox...

JFK was aware of this, he gave a well-remembered speech on secret societies, he stated he wanted to shred one arm of the conspiracy, the CIA, a thousand pieces into the wind. Then he was Shot. RIP, JFK.

I understand your comment, but I think it is one part of the paralysis on the right to do anything.

We always jump to the revolution or a CWIII, confident that since we have the guns we will win.

But those are nuclear options that scare any right thinking American.

The left has far more tools. After the steal why weren’t there mass protests? Why didn’t truckers shut down the interstates and Republican governors refuse to accept a Biden admin.
