Exploiting the Capitol Riot to Kill Trump<\/h3>\n

By Patrick Buchanan — CNS News Jan 12, 2021<\/h1>\n

Includes a 650-word update <\/strong>by Lasha Darkmoon: <\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u201cA New Nightmare\u201d. \u2013 Darkmoon <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Donald Trump has stumbled and fallen, and the establishment is not going to let slip this last opportunity to stomp him and his movement to death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a startling ultimatum:<\/p>\n

Either Vice President Mike Pence and the Trump Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment, declare the president \u201cunfit\u201d for office, and remove him within 24 hours, or House Democrats will vote to impeach him again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Senate, which would have to hear the case and hold the trial, does not meet again until Jan. 19, the day before Joe Biden is inaugurated, what is going on here? It sounds absurd, like rushing to hang a man who is going to die the next day.<\/p>\n

But such is the blind hatred of Pelosi\u2019s House for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina suggests holding off sending a bill of impeachment to the Senate for 100 days, to give Biden a chance to get his appointees confirmed, and then indict and convict Trump of sedition when he is a private citizen.<\/p>\n

What would be the purpose of impeaching a president who hasn\u2019t been president for three months?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0A conviction would strip Republicans of the right to reelect the man who got the largest number of votes in their party\u2019s history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

House Democrats want veto power over whom Republicans can nominate. And this is the crowd that does not cease to bray about its devotion to \u201cdemocra<\/strong>cy.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are the specific grounds for impeaching Trump?<\/p>\n

In the first draft of the resolution of impeachment, apparently, the crime is \u201cincitement to insurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet, in his Wednesday speech on the mall, Trump declared:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to cheer on brave senators and congressmen and -women, and we\u2019re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump added, \u201cEveryone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nowhere in Trump\u2019s remarks was there a call to violence or to invade the Capitol building, or to engage in the mob criminality that took place under the Capitol dome Wednesday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the effort to disgrace and drive Trump from an office he will vacate in 10 days is only a part of the general purge that is underway against conservatives, Republicans, and Trumpists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twitter<\/strong> and Facebook<\/strong> \u2014 the social media megaphones Trump has used to communicate with some 80 million followers \u2014 have terminated the president\u2019s personal accounts.<\/p>\n

Apple<\/strong>, Amazon<\/strong>, and Google<\/strong> have cut ties to the social media website Parler<\/strong>, which is popular among conservatives.<\/p>\n

The goal of Big Tech is censorship \u2014 to circumscribe Trump\u2019s capacity to communicate with his followers, and then to cripple the capacity of the right to communicate with one another.<\/p>\n

And this is being applauded by individuals who see themselves as acolytes of the First Amendment.<\/p>\n

Now calls are coming from home-state newspapers and colleagues for Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz to resign from the Senate. And for what?<\/p>\n

During Mike Pence\u2019s reading of the count during a joint session on Jan. 6, Cruz and Hawley called for debate on the electoral vote counts of Arizona and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

What Hawley and Cruz did was not only permissible under the statute, it was also supported by more than 100 GOP members of the House.<\/p>\n

Now, Cumulus Media, which has more than 400 radio stations and employs some of the most popular conservative talk-radio hosts in the nation, has warned its on-air personalities to stop suggesting the election of 2020 was stolen from Trump \u2014 or face termination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Said Brian Philips, vice president of content at Cumulus, in an internal memo: \u201cWe will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable \u2018paths.’\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you transgress this policy,\u201d says Philips, \u201cyou can expect to separate from the company immediately.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Major corporations have begun to instruct their Political Action Committees to halt contributions to Republican legislators who support Trump. And some of Trump\u2019s Cabinet officers and White House staff have bailed out on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cCount your friends when you\u2019re down,\u201d Richard Nixon said.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 21, Democrats will control the Senate, the House and the White House. Big Tech, Big Business, Big Media will all be on board.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They will be led, however, by a president and vice president who are in their offices not because of the great campaign they conducted and the brilliant case they made \u2014 but because Americans voted in the most massive turnout in history, 74 million for Trump and 81 million against Trump.<\/p>\n

As for the GOP, it should follow in these difficult days the counsel of LBJ when things were going bad: \u201cJust hunker down like a mule in a hailstorm. And let the wild wind blow. And the sun will come out again in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

In two years, the pendulum will swing back to the right, for it now has nowhere else to go.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0 NEW\u00a0 NIGHTMARE<\/h1>\n

by Lasha Darkmoon \u2013 January 14, 2021<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>SWAMP\u00a0 CREATURE:<\/strong>
\nIt doesn\u2019t look like the Monster is drowning!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s lasting legacy is this: roughly 50 per cent of American voters have now lost all confidence in the democratic process. Why vote at all if votes can so easily be stolen and elections rigged?\u00a0 For this vast swathe of disenfranchised\u00a0 Americans,\u00a0 there can now only be one alternative: <\/strong>violence and guerrilla warfare<\/strong><\/em>. You either fight for your country or you lose it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump remains adamant that he won the Election. His failure to admit defeat and concede victory to Biden has outraged his opponents and constitutes\u00a0 \u201cinciting insurrection\u201d.\u00a0 Trump is the only president in American history who faces the prospect of being impeached twice. And yet his words in his own defence sound disarming, emollient, even peaceable. Which enrages the Democrats to a further fever pitch of fury.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As he boarded the plane for the border wall at Texas the day before yesterday, Trump claimed quite calmly: \u201cIf you read my speech, many people have done it, it\u2019s been analysed and people thought what I said was totally appropriate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine the rage! \u201c<\/strong>Totally appropriate!\u201d <\/strong><\/em>A speech that whipped up his followers to converge from all the corners of America and march toward the Capitol in Washington with mutiny in their hearts \u2014 like the angry mob that stormed the Bastille on 14 July 1789, ushering in the French Revolution. On that occasion it had been 98 killed and 73 badly wounded. The storming of the Capitol in Washington on January 6, though far more subdued on the Richter scale\u2014only five people dead\u2014can nevertheless be seen as a warning to the hated elite who run America: <\/strong>\u201cWatch out, you bastards! We, too, have our guillotines\u2014400 million firearms thirsting for blood!\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My eyes almost popped out on stalks when I read these inflammatory words in a mainstream newspaper:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLarge, armed groups are set to converge on Washington DC at the weekend. One plan is said to involve 4000 \u201cpatriots\u201d encircling the White House\u00a0 to \u201cprotect\u201d Mr Trump, the Supreme Court and the Capitol building. Police discovered talk of blocking access to the Capitol to any Democrat, plus any Republican who failed to support efforts to overturn November\u2019s election, and even potentially killing them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another event planned in Washington is being billed as \u201cthe largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.\u201d And 16 hardline groups aligned to the Trump cause have registered to stage protests in the capital from Saturday until the handover of power to Mr Biden next Wednesday.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 <\/strong>The Daily Mail<\/strong><\/em>, January 13, 2021, p. 20\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What makes all this violent sentiment on behalf of Trump all the more intriguing is that Trump appears to have turned his back on his own ardent protectors \u201cby ordering 15,000 National Guard troops TO TURN OUT AGAINST HIS OWN SUPPORTERS.\u201d <\/strong>(Emphasis added<\/em>). At the same time, however, Trump blamed the Democrats for causing \u201ctremendous danger and anger\u201d and described the move to impeach him as \u201cthe greatest witch hunt in the history of politics.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile the FBI has warned of \u201carmed protests\u201d planned at all 50 state capitols in the country, including the Capitol in Washington, by Trump supporters who refuse to accept that he lost the election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/strong><\/em> reports that the FBI were warned by Trump extremists that they actually \u201cwanted war\u201d. They were now at he end of their tethers. All further discussion, including peaceful demonstrations, were futile.\u00a0 An online threat on January 5, according to the mainstream media, reads as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGET VIOLENT. STOP CALLING THIS A MARCH, OR RALLY, OR PROTEST. GO THERE READY FOR WAR. WE GET OUR PRESIDENT OR WE DIE. NOTHING ELSE WILL ACHIEVE THIS GOAL.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Quoted in <\/strong>The Daily Mail<\/strong><\/em>, January 13, p.20\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So here we are now, at a watershed moment in history. It could all fizzle out. And be remembered like a bad dream one day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or this could be the beginning a new nightmare.<\/strong><\/p>\n
