The Swamp Strikes Back

The US is currently in the midst of myriad crises due to the Democrats.

The border is unguarded causing millions to illegally enter the US. Border Patrol says there have been over 5 million border crossing incidents that were tracked. 

High Inflation is draining savings and placing hardships on citizens and the crime wave has placed citizens in peril. 

None of the Biden-backed initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Bill or the infrastructure bill or his climate initiative addresses the citizens suffering.

Beyond their misgovernance, the tyrannical Democrats have displayed a propensity for totalitarianism.

The Democrats have branded citizens as domestic terrorists for being from another party.

Protests are a fundamental right in a Democracy, but the Democrats have seized this right from their political opponents. 

The protestors of January 6^th are being subjected to the harshest of punishments reserved for the worst among criminals. One among them even committed suicide due to constant harassment.

President Trump is the target of myriad government witch hunts, the basis of which are hoaxes. There was the Russian collusion hoax, the Ukraine call hoax, and now the insurrection hoax.

Elections are no longer trusted.

The 2020 Presidential election was rigged on myriad fronts

The media and government agencies worked to discredit the most important story of that cycle about the immorality and corruption of the Biden family while big tech media blocked the news from its platforms.

Mark Zuckerberg 'donated' $419 million to leftwing activist groups to infiltrate sacrosanct electoral infrastructure and promote mail-in voting. In the end, 69% of voters nationwide cast their ballot nontraditionally i.e. by mail and/or before Election Day.

The mid-term elections have also been plagued by claims of fraud.  Biden's Executive Order 14019 asked all 600 federal agencies to increase voter participation. Requests for specifics of this order were denied causing great suspicion.

This is a total breakdown of the system in D.C. and is nothing short of a national emergency.

At such a time the citizen looks to three groups to stand up against the tyrannical government namely, the news media, government agencies, and the political opposition.

Let's look at the news media.

Some claim that the mainstream media has a Democrat bias. That claim would be erroneous because it implies the mainstream media and the Democrats disparate entities and the Democrats are influencing the media.

In reality, mainstream media functions as the propaganda wing of the Democrats. Their business cards may have the names of the organizations that employ them but they all report to the Democrat leadership.

They willingly parrot Democrat propaganda and even use identical terminology supplied by their Democrat bosses while covering any story.

They comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted, which is the opposite of what their function is.

What about government agencies?

These are supposed to be apolitical watchdogs who detect, correct, and prevent any instance of the government exceeding its authority or abusing its power.

Alas, corrupt partisan officials have made it to the leadership of these government agencies. Hence instead of being watchdogs, they have become lapdogs who attack when commanded, with no regard for propriety, history, or the rule of law.

What about the political opposition?

The GOP has a function to keep the Democrats in check. They are supposed to beat the drums of warning about various crises but also block every move the Democrats make to destroy the nation.

So what is happening in reality?

We just look at recent occurrences.

The outgoing Democrats majority House pushing for a $1.7 trillion spending bill of 4,155 pages, longer than a Tolstoy epic novel.

The bill contains most of the Democrat's pet items that US Congressman Dan Bishop chronicled in a Twitter Thread.

This is unprecedented for an outgoing party. It hijacks the power of the purse from the incoming GOP House. It also adds to the debt which is at $31 trillion. 

This should have been rejected by each and every Republican. 

But that isn't happening

In fact, many Republicans are supporting this bill which enabled it to pass in the House.

Among the items on the bill is $45 billion in aid to Ukraine. The same bill prohibits US Customs and Border Protection from spending more than $1.5 billion to “acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing.”

In other words, it places the sovereignty of Ukraine above that of the US whose taxpayers fund the bill.

But it doesn't matter to key Republicans

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is a huge proponent of this bill, he said providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the GOP.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that the war in Ukraine will end when ‘somebody in Russia takes Putin out’.

This seems in perfect synchronicity with Democrats committing to support Ukraine for "as long as it takes."  

None of these Ukraine-supporting omnibus bill enthusiast Republicans have said a word about any hardships faced by regular Americans due to Democrat misgovernance. 

But there may be some hope.

Negotiations surrounding this bill were stalled in the Senate following Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) amendment which compels the Biden administration to retain Title 42, a policy that allows US border officials to swiftly expel migrants and asylum-seekers owing to Covid-19.

This has caused some senators to discuss the possibility of a short-term funding bill instead. Obviously funding Ukraine will be a top priority.

Make no mistake, this concern for Ukraine isn't for the love of Ukrainians suffering due to the war but perhaps due to quid-pro-quo deals with arms dealers and defense contractors. The lawmakers use taxpayer money to procure arms for Ukraine from favored arms dealers and receive copious 'appreciation' in return.

Since the next election is two years away, they know they can do as they please.

So what do we have here?

The Democrats are indifferent to the people's sufferings and have a proclivity towards totalitarianism. The mainstream media and government agencies are lackeys for the Democrats. A significant number in opposition is siding with the Democrats.

Clearly, this is a one-party system, masquerading as democracy.

The result is the citizen who is already suffering due to Democrat misgovernance is relentlessly subjected to misinformation, mandates, restrictions, demonization, and intimidation.

This is what President Trump referred to as the swamp - a self-serving, self-protecting, self-promoting cabal that feeds of citizens like parasites.

Is there a way to dismantle this system?

There are a few obvious measures, that are unlikely to be implemented, but worth mentioning.

Term limits for all elected officials including lawmakers.

Recall facility for all elected officials including lawmakers, at any point in their term.

Placing a cap on the amount that can be spent on electoral campaigns

Mandating that most votes be cast and counted on election day and election night respectively.

Mandatory transfers of government agencies personnel after a specific period and shifting offices away from D.C.

Periodic audits of various government agencies with results presented to the public.
