Got a question.  What is the difference between a free republic and tyranny?  The Rule Of Law.  We seem to find ourselves being rapidly swept away from the status of a free republic of free people and into tyranny.  For some time now we have winked at abuse of the law by those in authority, those with influence, and looked the other way when our laws have been violated . . . that is, if the violator is “important” enough.

We’ve seen this just about every day.  Even mainstream “legacy” media are bold enough to report this - Gavin Newsom mandates not only mask-wearing and social distancing (both absurd responses) but denies the people of California the right to assemble for any purpose (perhaps with an exception for occasional rioting).  Masks are demanded to be worn between bites of food in those few restaurants permitted to be open (maybe none, now) at 50% or less capacity.  Fathom that.  And then he is caught out at the French Laundry, an exclusive restaurant, hob-nobbing with a few close friends for a birthday celebration.  No distancing, no masks (party hats, maybe?) . . . but - hey!  It was a birthday!    “Oh!  Oops!  My bad!”  And on to the next day’s fun. But if you and a couple of friends dare to meet somewhere for Thanksgiving dinner, by God, you’d better wolf it down and be outta there in two hours or less.  Or else.   The mayor of Denver?  All kinds of restrictions for the peones, but none for him.  He’s flying to get together with relatives for a cozy Thanksgiving dinner.  Governor Cuomo - there’s a hot one.  He’s commandeered the entire law enforcement contingent in New York state (or so he thought, at least) to enforce strict regulations - no visiting, no worshipping, no this, no that, no family . . . except he thought he’d mozy on over to Mom’s for Thanksgiving, get together with his kids, yada, yada.  For him it’s ok.  Well, it was ok for Chris to run around while he had “COVID”.  Too bad there was a “backlash”.  He haddah cancel on Mom.  Well, too bad.  She’s 89.  One has limited opportunities to enjoy these family dinners, right, Andrew?  That’s how the rest of us feel too.  

These stories have been legion.  But instead of having an ironic laugh over them we should take a good hard look at what this means.  It means we live in a tyranny.  It means that the laws that are either passed by our legislative bodies or simply dictated from our executives - governors, mayors and the like, and their unelected appointees - do not apply to them.  Hence there is no consequence to them if they are bad laws.  Simple.  At the level of everyday people and our family gatherings we might feel grouchy about it, we might just not obey them, or we might just be good sports and laugh along with our tyrants.  At ourselves for being chumps, as Biden would put it.  But look where this will inevitably lead.

We put up with a Vice President who sells our foreign aid loans to corrupt governments around the world.  His price is a fortune divied up among his family through the offices of his drug-addicted, deviant and unemployable son.  Yet we are supposed to overlook this?  This should have precluded Joe Biden’s nomination to run on any ticket, even the Democrat ticket.  But the press ignores these infractions.  The crime festers unaddressed while Pop accepts the Skype nomination to run for the office of President of the United States of America.  Just imagine the salivation going on among the world’s most depraved, corrupt and unrepentant world leaders in government and industry.  The oligarchs must be so excited.  

Now that an apparent world-class criminal is on the ticket, next thing that must be done is whatever it takes to “win” election.  Not so easy when the sitting president is successful and becoming more popular every day as the economy struggles back from its knees (a condition created by Democrat governors and mayors) to a record-setting GDP.  But never fear!  As Pop put it, “We have the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in American history.”   And so, by gum, they did.  They didn’t rely on the hometown folks for this.  They went to Dominion and Smartmatic and similar off-shore companies.  Dominion was reliable - after all they have kept an absolute scoundrel like Nicolas Maduro in power despite the fact that his people, once wealthy, have been reduced to eating their pets by the socialist policies of his and his predecessor (the guy who gave us Smartmatic).  Dominion, according to expert first-hand testimony, was designed for this, capable of moving votes from one candidate to another whenever needed.  (It was only thwarted once, it seems, by Bolsonaro in Brazil.  By the way, Bolsonaro has not yet come across with the congratulatory greeting for Pop.  I wonder why.  Maybe he has a hunch that Trump is as smart as he was about dealing with Dominion.)  

Meanwhile we have the press frantically trying to herd us away from these questions.  “Nothing to see here, folks.  Keep moving - move along, please!”  They refer to Trump (and those who agree with him) as paranoid nut-jobs flinging around irresponsible “baseless” charges about impropriety and being whiny losers.  And we, the dummies are just supposed to sit here and be gaslighted?  

Our election laws in many states, all of the key states, have been grossly violated.  If the law says there are to be observers from all (or both) parties, it means observers.  As Giuliani put it, and very well, “they were not intended to be there to observe the drapes”.  If these “observers” are contained behind fencing and kept more than six feet away from the counting and ballot verification process they were not “observers” at all.  They were Potemkin village window dressing. The ultimate insult was a worker in Detroit putting up cardboard over windows so no one could see anything.  That said it all.

If the law says that an absentee ballot may not be issued except upon written request, with a signature, that categorically does not mean you just send ballots out willy-nilly like confetti, to people who have not requested them and if you get some back as “votes” that were not requested by anyone, you should throw them out.  Not count them.  This problem appeared in Wisconsin.  We go on and on - counting seizing up in the middle of the night only to resume in the dark with no one present at all (even behind barriers), suddenly votes all coming in for one candidate and none for the other? We have ballots which were returned at an earlier date than they were mailed.   We are supposed to countenance this?  For far too long we have allowed ourselves to chuckle at the zombie vote.  Zombies elected John Kennedy, paid for by his dad in Chicago’s Cook County ballot boxes. That was 60 years ago now.  We have had people voting multiple times - we wink and say they “vote early and often”.  We have put up with this.  It has brought us to shame and ruin.

What does this kind of situation do to our credibility on the world stage?  This is of some consequence.  If foreign powers think our leaders can be bought and that they bought their election, how will they deal with us?  How will they deal with these “leaders”?   Does  it matter what a third-rate dictatorship like Iran thinks?  You bet it does.  They are pursuing a nuclear armament policy.  They would destabilize the Middle East and spew forth terrorists into the rest of the world.  Should we care about this?  This is why foreign policy matters.  Terrorists.  

Corruption is not confined to the higher levels of government, of course.  It courses through our entire nation, from small-town city councils all the way to the presidency.  Look at your own hometowns.  What about the last real estate development deal conducted under the table?  Or even out in the open, if the council doesn’t fear the people any more.  The corrupt are becoming increasingly bold.  

In the case of Dominion, its work was effected by various state governments (mostly secretaries of state and governors) buying it.  Georgia, governed by Brian Kemp, a Republican, bought into Dominion with $100 million via Red China. This would appear to be about kickbacks.  Lots of them.  Big kickbacks.  As they say, follow the money.  Why would the governor of Arizona buy into this?  Why would anyone?  It’s all too obvious.  For the same reason they refuse to allow inspection of their machines.  They are all in it so deep, it would appear, that they are resorting to the lowest levels of “negotiation” - meaning threats, some anonymous, some by phone, threatening violence to attorneys, to officials, to anyone who might move the log off of their colony of worms.  

And the same kind of thuggery seems to run our social media.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai had the effrontery to post on twitter the fact that Massachusetts deleted ballot images that they are compelled by law to preserve.  He was shut down for the last 21 days of his campaign for U.S. Senate.  Twitter instantly shut down attorney Sidney Powell’s account for a week after it was announced that she was not technically part of the Trump team - presumably to give the mainstream time to manufacture a narrative to discredit her rather than allow her version of events to be heard.  Trump is regularly deleted.  The people of the United States have the right to hear what the President says, but Twitter says no.  If you are over 40, think back to your youth.  Could you ever have imagined that you would be censored - or that the President of the United States would be censored?  That the First Amendment would no longer apply?

The point here is that if we have a law, no matter whether we think it is ridiculous or not we must strictly enforce it across the boards, including against the highest-placed officials.  If we fail to do so we have more Brian Kemps, more Gavin Newsoms.  A free republic cannot stand long with this.  We are invincible if we are moral, we are gone in a second when we lose that high ground.  There is no “small” corruption.  Hunter Biden cost us dearly.  Pop is costing us.  These corrupt officials in our state government are costing us. Twitter and its cousins in social media are costing us.    

If you don’t think we are in a lot of trouble you have not yet heard the Arizona hearing held today regarding the incredible heist of this year’s election.  You need to listen.  Within the first few moments you will be ready to clean house too.  

So, back to the initial question:  what is the difference between a free republic and a tyranny?  And here is Question Number Two:  What is America?  What should we be?
