PART ONE: NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON; NONE DARE CALL THEM TRAITORS
Preface: Today’s column was largely drafted (below, beginning with “Today, our government…”) when additional thoughts began coming to me regarding the Biden “document scandal.” Documents have now turned up in at least four places associated with Biden: His home, his garage, his Penn Biden Center for Something-I-don’t-give-a-rat’s-about, and somewhere else I can’t keep track of any better than Biden.
Biden claims he has no knowledge regarding the docs, their content (his memory’s shot anyway, but I think he would remember this) or how they may have got to where they were “discovered.” Like many others, I have wondered why his own people (his lawyers, apparently) didn’t just send the things into the shredder and… Case Closed - ha ha - in accordance with Dems’ ethics. After all, if no one was missing them for years, just disappear them. So we all wonder if this is a Deep State coup of sorts: Were the docs planted and “found”? Biden was already highly unlikely to be electable by late 2023, so running was injurious to the Dems: He’s a staggering, misspeaking, pathologically lying moron who barely keeps his place on a teleprompter now. Equating his Corvette’s security to Classified documents’ requirements was sheer idiocy. Upon that declaration, the force of hands-to-faces must have left some marks amongst the collective backstage cabal and various crews who prop up this dimwitted career-corrupt-pol. Truly.
In the face of all this, one has to wonder if this is part of the Biden-Hunter-Wheel-o-Fortune, spinning as it does something like this:
As VP (and now Prez), Joe Biden had/has access to state secrets.
State secrets are worth money - a lot of money - to the right people.
$elling state secrets is tricky. How to dispense a secret? How to collect for it?
Hunter had/has access to the White House. Hunter has access to high-level Chinese government officials. He also has access to high-level Chinese business-people. He therefore has access to their “wants.”
Hunter transmits the wants to The Big Guy. Hunter sells both access, and deliverables. The Big Guy has access to secrets and the documentation for the secrets (the classified documents). That is inarguable.
The Big Guy also has the means to spirit documents out of the White House, or any other secure facility the docs in question came from - that is inarguable. Else, how now brown cow? Oops. Sorry - Biden moment, there. Else, how the docs in the three… wait!… four (subject to change) locations?
Joe takes the docs to Penn, and to the private residence, either of which Hunter sits at and likely takes phone snaps for transport to China. I doubt he attaches them to text messages (but you never know with Hunter - he’s not exactly a model of discretion or secrecy, eh? Jeezus! I just now almost broke a bone in my chest laughing! Ok… ok… I’m ok. Whew! That was close). Or, now that I think about it, he probably takes the actual docs (as ultimate proof of the secrets of any given moment/delivery), with the intention of flying back with them, assuring The Big Guy that the docs will go back in the various drawers they are supposed to live in. Maybe he hands them to The Big Guy and he shoves them in - somewhere, anywhere, so long as it’s a file cabinet/safe designated for secure docs. (Technically, classified docs are usually signed for on a sheet, initialed, and I think there’s likely a witness involved; then signed back in to the exact occupancy they had. But Joe got ‘em out, unaccounted for - for years - presumably there’d be a scheme to get them back in - but they forgot, were sloppy, or just didn’t care).
The Chinese pay Hunter (and thus The Big Guy’s cut) by purchasing Hunter’s paintings at the appropriate times. You know, those $500,000 paintings that impress us all by rising to a level just under Hitler’s aesthetic and artistic abilities. (If only the Vienna Art Institute hadn’t rejected Hitler, eh? How different history might have been. But that’s another column. Hey! If only the Ebenezer Baptist Church hadn’t rejected Joe as their first White Preacher. So close, man. So close. Not a joke. As an aside, the word on the street regarding Joe’s audition was Joe attempted to exercise the established license of “preacher’s humor” by bellowing, “If ya’ll don’t laugh at mah jokes, ya’ll ain’t Black!!” Sunk ‘im).
In other income schemes, secrets are dispensed for the monthly Burisma payout of $83k/month to Hunter, and his placement at an energy company where he has absolutely no qualification for any position. I think there were other large chunks of payouts in the high six-figure amounts, but I’m too lazy to look them up.
And who knows what else? Think the above is crazy? Not when you consider that Gen. Milley, Commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, went behind his Command-in-Chief’s back, straight to his Chinese counterpart, in undercutting his own President (Trump). The whole government is a cesspool of collapsing standards and accountabilities.
Now, the fall-down was that Hunter never put the docs back (or Joe didn’t)… they just floated around Penn, the house, and the wind blew some through an open window into the garage. Again, Hunter isn’t the most disciplined person, and Joe is kinda forgetfull - think about it. A perfect storm. Hunter can’t be bothered to retrieve a laptop with his own porn engagements, his illegal drug use, and his felonious gun activities. Wow. Joe’s daughter, Ashley, can’t keep track of a diary whereby she shared details of showering with daddy. Wow. This indiscretion stuff runs rampant with the Bidens. Top Secret docs? Meh. Who’s gonna know? Besides, Dad ain’t askin’ for ‘em: He forgot all about ‘em.
However, the qualities of treason and traitorship settled onto the Biden Administration even before the three discoveries of classified documents in various locations associated with Joe Biden. Thus~ the original column I was working on:
Today, our government - this Administration “in power” - actively works to harm you, the American Citizen. It calls you an enemy of the state if you are “Ultra MAGA,” (something you have every right to be), if you’re a Trump voter/supporter, if you’re an active parent, if you’ve been branded a “White Supremacist/Extremist” for actively questioning and engaging in attempts to rescue public education, if you believe in tried-and-true simple standards, and if you attempt to secure and improve our Constitutional Republic as founded.
Once upon a time, unquestioningly, America - regardless of faults (nothing is perfect) was seen by all rational people, of all backgrounds, as the greatest country on earth. (It is why people needn’t break out of here (as they must do from Communist and totalitarian countries) and why they routinely break in).
No contest.
None.
In today’s climate - in the political Left’s version of America and its present environment - if you question a vote/election outcome - no matter the empirical observations of corruption readily made - in words far softer than high-profile Democrats’ words in the past regarding elections, theft, so-called illegitimacies - you’re an “insurrectionist,” and an enemy of “democracy.”
If you simply believe in “The Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave” you are dangerous, and an “enemy.” If you believe in a cohesive country, not one sliced and diced into “victims” and “victimizers,” not one where every special-interest group gets to blast their bright lights into your face (adherents to LGBTQIA+, BLM, CRT, ESG, NWO, WEF, etc.) you are a racist, a sexist, a misogynist… a neo-Nazi… or just a Nazi… alt-Right… a bad person. You can even be gay, etc., and NOT supporting of the burgeoning MAP movement (“minor attracted persons”)… and you are antithetical to the madness of the Left… and the Democrat party… and therefore an enemy.
Well. This is inarguable: If our government calls any of us “enemies,” then surely that government becomes an enemy to those people. That is not a seditious statement: That is simply fact. Only fools would relax within a government’s definition of them as “enemies.” And it can happen to anybody: political persuasions and parties are no protection. We’ve already slid into Banana Republic territory with the Trump raid, and we’re accelerating our slide into a socialist/communist/totalitarian hellhole by the day.
Further, government becomes an enemy to all people when it harms everyone: The ignorant included. It becomes an enemy even to those who are dim enough to return to power those who are harming everyone - the intelligent-informed and the stupid-ignorant alike are harmed.
The tsunami of deleterious effects, which I’ve written about elsewhere (see back columns) by this Administration and allied teams (the administrative bureaucratic state, the complicit, Pravda-equivalent mainstream media, the de facto team of FBI/Facebook/Twitter/others, the overall DOJ, various cabinet secretaries (DoHS the most titular in this) - cannot be simple incompetence, stupidity, errors in judgment, etc. Those speculations MUST be long-past. Please. This is destruction-by-design. This is will. This is the agenda. Please let us grow up. Please let us just see.
My patience is at an end with dummkopfs on television who say things such as, ‘President Biden merely had to do nothing; he merely had to remain-in-place all of Trump’s border policies which were working. But, he had to dismantle President Trump’s policies because they were Trump’s policies.’ No, no, and no. President Biden reversed sane, working, policies because the agenda is to flood America with illegal immigrants. It is not merely Trump Derangement Syndrome. The mammoth problem America is facing is that the displacement of citizens is by design. It is an agenda - it is not a bug of bad government; it is a feature. Biden (and those behind him) are even yet laboring to make the flooding of the country easier for transgressors: An app! Yay! More hotels, tent cities, and free food. Simply register. It’s free!!
Question: Is destroying a sovereign border treason, and is that not perpetrated only by traitors? Question: The issue of the border alone is enough for a charge of treason, and trial(s), no?
But the rest seems treasonous too: The willful, deliberate, destruction of our economic health. Destruction of energy. Destruction of an efficient supply chain. Deliberately deleterious policies and injurious laws and regulations that are harming the good people of this nation. It is deliberate, it is designed, and it smells like treason.
So is the destruction of excellence. Excellence used to need no “sell.” Everyone understood excellence as a universal value, applicable to… anything. Today, valuing excellence, expectations of excellence, makes you a racist. We are now expected to round every individual’s character DOWN to the lowest common denominator. Theft is tolerated. Lies are tolerated. Chronic late-shows/No-shows for work are tolerated - you cannot fire them. You are the problem… and your race and/or ethnicity will not protect you. Black? You have values and you exercise them? You are a white supremacist in black skin. Hispanic? Asian? And you’re not a DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity) adherent? You’re a heretic, too. The Left’s lunacy knows no bounds when creatures with penises, XY chromosomes, testosterone, etc., can pose as “women,” and access rest- and locker rooms before lining up and winning every girls’ and women’s sports competition they endeavor to win.
Criminals are favored over the law-abiding. Citizenship itself is being diluted: Non-citizens get free housing, free food, EBT cards, waivers to crime (via non-prosecution; no/low bail; reduced charges) free medical care… while you pay for your own and theirs via taxes, insurance, and carve-outs to your safety and sanity as America swirls ever-downward in the horrific sucking of the Left’s savage whirlpool.
When we examine the extra-Constitutional and overtly harmful things our government is doing presently to us - and we realize that to litanize all of the things unimaginable only a few short years ago would take something more voluminous than the Library of Congress - we can ask a fair set of questions.
Succinct and compact:
Who dare call these things treason?
Who dare call the perpetrators traitors?
Examining the definition of treason, above, yields further sub-questions: How does the deliberate destruction, through overt actions (halt of the wall; denigrating Border Patrol Agents; suing Arizona on attempts to secure their portion of the border; broadcasting an open invitation to the world to transgress - “We want the oppressed to come here…”, the debasement of childhood and children) not constitute treason?
The Admin says, repeatedly, that the border is secure. They know it is not: Mayorkas, Biden, Harris, Jean-Pierre, Pelosi, Schummer, Buttigeig… (and those who stand behind these, in the shadows). What is the motivation for those obvious grand lies while doing everything possible to maintain an open border? Obviously, the motivation cannot be the safety and security of citizens; therefore, the motivation is not for the safety and security of The United States of America itself. And if you work against America’s sovereignty, safety, and citizens are you not committing treason? If you work against sovereignty and safety are you not a traitor?
These are questions.
So, the border has been destructed… well -
Our formerly robust economy has been deliberately destructed.
Our energy independence has been destructed.
Our public education system has been destructed.
The meritocracy of our schools, our advanced placement courses, our equal protection clauses/hirings/promotions, has all been destructed.
Our education system and schools are churning out indoctrinated, “woke,” students who cannot speak, spell, or add/subtract with any adherence to quality and routine standards.
Children are being separated from their parents in both ideological terms, but also physically. Teachers and counselors now have discreet “pipes” of communication to children that would have been branded such, in the past: [Whispering] “Shhh - don’t tell Mommy what we’re doing. Don’t tell Daddy. It’s ok. Do you like it?”
Our military is being politicized and radicalized to standards of “wokeness” to the denigration of simple defense and war-making standards of deterrence and winning where necessary for the defense of this nation. It is deliberate, it is by design.
General Miley can collude with an enemy - his Chinese counterpart - behind his Commander-in-Chief’s back and remain in uniform. None dare call it treason, none dare call him a traitor.
When those in our Congress, our Executive Branch, in various levels of the Judiciary, do the exact opposite of what any sensible person of reasonable capabilities knows would be right - the exact opposite of what is required - in other words when they do wrong on the grandest scale(s) imaginable… it must be treason. No?
Burgeoning border incursions? Halt the wall. Denigrate and slander border agents. Destroy morale. Sue Arizona for attempting to seal their border with shipping containers. Lie about the status of the situation. Toss Abbott’s letter away without reading it.
Inflation? Print money. Spend, spend, spend.
Food shortages? Sue the Amish for producing and selling their own food. Hamper trucking and rail with new regulations.
Children’s Education Lagging? Hollow out time from the three Rs and STEM; replace with BLM, CRT, ESG, and expanded sex ed, and overt sexualization of pre-teens and elementary, even kindergarten, school kids.
Psychiatric issues, mass shootings, anxiety, depression, etc. on the rise? Sow gender confusion, victimhood, grievance. Reinforce, repeat… repeat… repeat..,
Fentanyl deaths on the rise?… and already too high by years? Keep the border flat, open, easy. Let fentanyl pour in.
Kids trafficked? Sex trafficking? Keep that border open! Encourage the cartels by flattening border agents hirings. Impede prosecution and pursuit. Build more tent cities! Open more hotel rooms! Advertise that app! Tell the world!
Transportation Issues? Nominate and confirm an unqualified, political hack, an idiot based on Identity Politics/DIE as Transportation Secretary who follows our President’s schema for vacations - as many as possible. Let’s really stick it in the American people’s eyes - make him an Alfred E. Neuman look-alike. There! While we’re at it, let’s hire a nuclear disposition “expert” who is queer, a furry, and posts pics of himself in leather masks and dog gear. Yeah! That’ll show the American people who’s in charge! He’s a pathological thief, but so what? So is the President!! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah…………..
Looming Risk of World War III??? This one’s too easy. Poke Russia in the eye, then step on Putin’s foot, then kick him in the crotch by sending billions to Ukraine, by sending tanks, by sending artillery, by sending advisors… keep poking, poking, poking… yeah, that’s the ticket. We’ll protect Ukraine’s sovereignty while destructing our own. Oh, it’s all by design, all right. Bet. WWIII? Whaddya gonna do? It’ll be your sons and daughters and gender indeterminates who go to war.
Rising energy cost? Cancel pipelines. Ban fracking. Subsidize wind and sun - even though those are decades from prime-time readiness. Buy an EV; even though an electric truck can’t tow worth anything like its specs.
Even though charging stations are few, and are backed up, and as many as half the ports are broken and inoperable. But not to worry: You’ll get an anemic tax break on your $50 to $100k outlay.
When your government always does the opposite for what would be sensible, you know it has to be by design. It has to be deliberate.
I have a limited readership and influence. As a Bohemian Libertarian, as a Political Independent, and frankly, as someone who is a skeptic and a cynic, I still keep waiting for someone with the profile of a Tucker Carlson, a Victor Davis Hanson, a Mark Levin, a Jesse Watters, a Greg Gutfeld, a Judge Jeanine, a Dana Perino, a Tyrus, fer goshsake (he likes to pose as fearless), to man-up, woman-up, to WAKE-up, and say something. And what of Gaetz? McCarthy? Abbott? Lake? Rand or Ron Paul? The “trouble” is (in quotes for a reason), that once you rightly call out treason, and associated traitors, you have to do something about it. (“Trouble” because it represents political trouble; but that should be nothing to the trouble that treason delivers - period.)
However, even I couch these things (treason; traitors) as questions - so am I fearful? In a word: Yes. I do not want the FBI crashing my door in - and that is a founded, very real, fear. That is not paranoia. Not by a long shot. Not in today’s America.
But I have, at least, the guts to pose the question(s). I have the guts to call on these others who are supposedly brave enough to “speak truth to power” AND who have a national platform of some measure, and who are in some measured fulcrums of power (I am not in any power short of my one diluted vote, being that it swims in a pool of cheating).
Who dare call these things and people for what they are? I am waiting. And, I’ll be back with more. (If I disappear… well, let’s hope for the best, eh?)
