Greetings Screamers! Iâm still working on my next longform article, but I did want to take a few minutes to talk about yet another example of establishment hypocrisy. Of course Iâm talking about Hunter Biden and the lightest slap he âgotâ for his tax evasion and lying on a firearm form (a felony for mere mortals).
Of course, we knew that Hunter was going to get a token sentence (if he got one at all) because of who he is. Lawyers for the swamp get off even when evidence of their crimes is obvious, the âcorrectâ political protestors can do whatever they want, and the FBI continues to set up the mentally disabled. The establishment allows and even encourages this behavior.
But the rest of us are subjected to constant reminders that ânobody is above the lawâ when it comes to Donald Trumpâs arrest. Joe Biden says that if Congress wonât act on gun laws, we need âa new Congressâ. (Which is strange, because Biden also says that âYou need an F-16â to take on government, not just an AR15.) I guess heâs not talking about enforcing gun laws that are already on the books â at least when it comes to prosecuting the ârightâ people.
These events are yet another reminder the Swamp will do or say ANYTHING if it will increase its power the slightest amount. When it wants you to get behind yet another war, it calls you unpatriotic for not going along. (Now updated to include âPutin stooge.â) If you point out that all the places dealing with âsystemic racismâ have been run by Democrats for decades, they claim you donât care about the poor. If you want to ensure the ballot at the bottom of the drop box is legal, youâre an anti-American bigot trying to deny people the right to vote. If you mention that hospitals were never overrun during covid and perhaps there was a DIFFERENT motivation to the lockdowns, youâre an anti-science grandma killer.
Of course, the Swamp doesnât actually CARE about any of these things OTHER than how it can use the issues to increase its power. If covid was REALLY about saving lives, the government would have jumped into the âsuddenâ spike of death occurring all around the world starting in 2021. If government was worried about gun crime, it would be tackling it in places like Chicago.
If government wanted to help the poor, it wouldnât be out there bragging about how inflation is âonlyâ 4% while continuing to âfindâ money for Ukraine.
Sadly, weâve reached the âYouâre going to eat shit and like itâ phase where the Swamp has gotten so powerful, it thinks that it can do anything it wants so it doesnât even need to pretend any longer. Indeed, itâs perhaps MORE exhilarating to rub the peasantsâ noses in the manure in front of the whole town instead of in a back room somewhere.
As the man in my avatar famously said:
Hint: Weâre not the ones wearing the boot.
PS: There is good news. As Michael Shellenberger points out, we are finding one another and fighting back. Heâs appearing at an event tomorrow with Russell Brand and Matt Taibbi in London to discuss censorship issues. I donât know of any live stream carrying the event, but Iâll hopefully be able to post a link after itâs over.
Shellenburger is a national treasure.
If future historians come close to telling the true, human story of Covid, it will be in large part because of the heroic work of an anonymous writer known as âTranscriber Bâ on Substack. My Q & A with this unsung hero explains why sheâs doing what sheâs doing and identifies some of the most heart-wrenching transcripts sheâs preserved for posterity.
