In response to his proposed indictment and arrest, President Trump suggested last week that patriots should … protest, protest, protest!
In today’s political climate, it was a call that perplexed his supporters.
In light of all the fallout from J’6, protests by patriots in the streets are inadvisable as it has become common knowledge that such gatherings stand a very good chance of being infiltrated and defiled by instigators of violence working at the behest of the very government being protested, all to falsely portray the patriots as insurrectionists.
The questions this leaves perplexed patriots who want now more than ever to exercise their constitutional right to protest is … if not in the public square, then how, when and where can we protest in a way that is meaningful?
The answer may be for them to protest in a way that is symbolic—like displaying the American flag in front of their homes, businesses, and vehicles in the manner needed to convey the distress this country is in … that is, upside down.
Why?
Because our present government officials are undeniably and unnecessarily putting America and our former President in distress, as will always be the case when a two-tiered system of justice has been institutionalized to enable ideologically-driven enforcers of the “law” to abuse their power and authority to destroy their political enemies.
That is the reality of what America has now become and which was put on full display last week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Admirably, Senator Rand Paul and others reflexively responded to this undeniable “abuse of power” by calling for Bragg’s arrest, and, as far as these things go, this at first seemed like a good idea. However, it only served to highlight a deeper problem with our present government for which Bragg’s abuses are only symptomatic. That being that there is no authority to effect such an arrest who presently possesses the inclination to do so due to the currently lop-sided system of injustice that exists in this country.
For instance, the Attorney General of New York isn’t likely to ever arrest Bragg. Like Bragg, she also campaigned on the promise to arrest President Trump. If anything, she is probably only upset that Bragg—for a nano-second—looked like he was going to beat her to the punch.
And that leaves us with Merrick Garland or Christopher Wray who, for reasons obvious to most, are also highly unlikely to even consider doing anything to stop Bragg’s quest to politically neuter President Trump. In fact, they are probably hoping-upon-hope that Bragg can pull off what they have repeatedly failed to do, if they aren’t actually secretly trying to help him.
Remember, these are the two guys who not only authorized and supervised the raid on Mar-a-Lago, but are also the guys too busy protecting a future pRresident’s son during the 2020 election—and, thus, protecting the “Big Guy” himself—from the possible fallout that would have been otherwise produced by the contents of Hunter’s laptop. In fact, if we recall correctly, before that election, they successfully did bury it, and admitted doing so only after the election when it was verified by others to be something other than “Russian disinformation.”
Until then, for all we know, it was perhaps being hidden in the same F.B.I. storage closet where they are continuing to conceal all computers and laptops that we know they immediately seized from Epstein’s mansions after his “suicide.” Those would be computers and laptops that happen to contain thousands, if not tens of thousands, of sex videos that someone in our government is hiding to intentionally shield Epstein’s rich, famous and powerful former “clients” from ever having to suffer the embarrassment of having their sexual escapades with minors displayed before the public. All while that same “government” dangles the imprisonment of Ghislaine Maxwell before the public to falsely demonstrate their commitment to the law and justice. When, in reality, her show trial was nothing more than a shiny object they used to distract our attention away from all this evidence of the sexual perversions that have been committed by the rich, the famous and the powerful among us that Garland and Wray should be prosecuting and incarcerating … but aren’t.
Thus, one would be blowing in the wind to ever hope that anyone like these two federal law enforcement characters will ever have even an iota of interest in holding an ideological soul-mate like Bragg accountable for any wrongdoing. The last thing they would ever want to see is Trump in the White House again with his hands again placed on the levers of power and vested with the authority to expose them—and hold them accountable—for the crimes they have been committing to achieve the same end Bragg is now hoping to obtain: i.e. the political demise of Donald Trump.
Yet, we digress.
Based on just the above facts alone, surely it is fair to conclude that America is presently in a hot mess … and that is even before we consider the invasion of our country by illegals, our plummeting economy, our hijacked elections and our illegitimately installed Administration that seems intent upon pushing all the relevant nations on this planet—including ours—into World War III.
Such is our nation’s distress that should be protested by any patriot who loves what America is supposed to be. And that should commence with a declaration of national distress expressed symbolically across the land by patriots agreeing to fly the American flag upside down … until America is once again governed by those who will earnestly seek justice, protect our liberty, uphold the Rule of Law and honor our Constitution.
Just imagine. If patriots were ever able to achieve these most fundamental objectives as a result of this simple—not to mention, lawful and peaceful—symbolic protest, they will most surely be assured of deserving an honored place—along with certain “Bragging” rights—in the annals of our nation’s history.
