The Sicilian Message . . . Meant for Us

Excerpt:
"Will Trump become even stronger now that he’s been created a “felon” – 34 times! – by a “court” (and jury) that everyone understands was convened to convict him? That is the belief asserted by Devolutionists – the people who believe that this is all a show and part of an elaborate operation to expose the corruption of the system so that it can be un-corrupted.

Of course, such a thing has never before happened in the history of government-gone-bad (which of course is all governments, which are necessarily bad; the difference being a matter of degree only). Once government goes really bad – as the one that controls this country manifestly has – there is but one way to un-corrupt it and that is to rid ourselves of it.



What happened to Trump is not about Trump.

It is about what is going to happen to us – now that the precedent has been set that anyone can be created a “felon” anytime the government decides to create any of us as one.
...
Trump wasn’t so much taught a lesson as we were sent a message.

How will he – how will we – respond?

The Devolutionist say – rightly – that is no longer possible to pretend the system isn’t malicious and so illegitimate. Implicit in this is the duty to reject it as illegitimate. Trump – himself – is irrelevant except in the human sense that irrespective of what one thinks of him personally, what has been done to him must not be countenanced for the same reason that a wrong done to anyone must never be countenanced.

Wrong is now official.
...
Anything goes to get Trump? Then anything goes – to protect ourselves from those who just got Trump and who have made it plain they mean to get us, too."

    “Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”
    ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

    Except that Trump correctly doesn't feel the least bit guilty, and neither did Hank Rearden, Howard Roark, and John Rockefeller.

    I agree that if anything goes to get Trump (or anyone else for that matter), then anything goes PERIOD, and any of us could be a target. We need to look no further than the years before WW2 when it came to the treatment of jews in Germany leading up to the actual construction of the concentration camps.

    In the case of Trump, I am not sure who is even the victim that he supposedly hurt. But that obviously isn't an issue. Its just a method to GET him. It wasn't that a jew in Germany actually did anything, but just that their lineage happened to contain reference to people who were of jewish lineage.... and so on.

    Many of us in the family try to avoid political discussions of various subjects because all it really does is drive the lefties into tantrums and ruins everyones day. With that said my nephew, a successful businessman, went off on a rant about all the bureaucrats and political thugs he had to deal with to move his business to a different town in order to expand it. The hoops he had to jump through were numerous and, as he said, were almost as if they were making them up as the project progressed. The government foot dragging between one edict to the next almost cost him the whole thing, but the big problem is once a sizable amount of investment is already put down you have to finish or wave goodbye to what you've already committed. The thugs justifying their little fiefdoms squeezed out whatever they could, because they could!

      Perhaps learn Spanish and move the jobs to a place where the government is still
      in the early 20th century with no cameras or satellites and people will work and
      are willing to learn. (No, not Mexico. They are 13th century feudal.)
      No place is perfect, but the States United no longer exists as a beacon of freedom.

        In fact, the states are not united. The states are federalized when it benefits THEM for the states to be federalized and not part of the federal government when it benefits THEM.

        I used to do some work for a manufacturing company that had a few big welding shops. They had one in Mexico. One of the higher-ups told me that when Michael (the owner) opened the factory in Mexico he went to the local sheriff and gave him a gift...some beautiful revolver in a nice, wood case. That was to get the protection and approval of the government. Michael ended up being quite wealthy. A good business man...

      I know. I've been preaching since the early 90's but the congregation appears to be deaf.

        You're preaching to the choir here. I may be mistaken, but I think that the things we see going wrong all around us are part of a scheme to let the rotten left drown in their own soup.

        I'm waiting for a few friends and family to get on board our train. One of them's a journalist, another is a lawyer. I'm not pushing, not at all. They've gotta see for themselves.

    So, Dr. Phil comes out and says "We can't go down the retribution path... If we win, we have to focus on bringing the country together..."

    Dear Dr. Phil. You know who COULD START that process. The LEFT! they could DROP ALL of the charges against Trump. They could UNDO (put aside) the Jury Verdict. Punish The Judge. And admit this was ALL a very slippery slope that we wish NOT to go down.

    But at this point. What they are doing to Trump is what Happened in October to Israel... It was a FULL FLEDGED Declaration of War. And I gave Israel permission to decimate every living soul in Gaza UNTIL Hamas Surrendered and agreed to change the religion to one accepting all other religions. [meaning, it wont happen].

    We are literally being Murdered, Jailed. A women praying at an Abortion Clinic gets 24 months in prison. A Liberal throwing a Molotov Cocktail at a Police Car gets 15 months.

    And WE are supposed to show restraint. SORRY, Hard Pass. We tried that will HRC.
    Something tells me if HRC, Podesta, et al were imprisoned, things would not be playing out like this right now. FOOL ME ONCE.

    In 2016. Trump was my voice.
    In 2024... He will be my retribution. And I will sacrifice my family name to Mudd/Lector/Kahn(STTWOK) if that ensures a retribution so severe that M.A.D. is looked upon as a more soothing/peaceful alternative.

    In 2024... We have seen that the name Trump will go from "Trumped Up charges"... To playing the "Trump Card". To "Trumping Their Enemy".

    A sampling from Philosoraptor's Collegiate Dictionary~~~~~
    tyranny \tir-a-nee\ n. pl -nies
    1 : absolute oppressive power
    2 : rule by fear over the mind of man
    3 : the current goal by those in control of the
    Democrat Party
    4 : what Barack Obama meant by saying he
    wanted "fundamental change" during his first
    term
    5 : the appeasement wreaked by RINOs
    reaching across the aisle
    6 : treason
    PS : "over the minds of people" would be Yoke worn by the Woke version

    Get us they will, picking us off one at a time, quietly, in tiny places and large places all over the country. Who will know except their families and friends? The msm won't report it, unless they choose to report the "trumped up" fake charges used to haul in the victims. When I was very much younger, I never thought I'd see this day in my lifetime. Now the thought of defending my life and the lives of my family against our own government is a horrible reality. Yes, they mean to get us too, either by stealing the election (already underway) or removing the one candidate that poses a real threat to owo (nwo). President Trump, watch your back and watch those who are supposed to be watching your back!

    The ONLY hope in my view is the SCOTUS hammers Bragg et al and vindicates Trump. A pardon from the NY governor would be totally political to avoid the SCOTUS hammer. Yes, Nov 5th is the day or reckoning.

    The powers that be seemingly have forgotten that its the citizens' support is necessary for the society to work. Cut expenses by 20% for behalf the people and see how it works out for the left. What if anything goes on the highway, and laws are replaced by "I am going to do whatever I can get away with" Voluntary tax payments? I don't think so. I can go on, but I think my point is made.

    The left should get rid of this phony conviction on its own to try and preserve citizen support for the country. It was lack of that support that brought down the USSR basically with no shots fired.
