The Coup We Never Knew

Victor Davis Hanson;

Did someone or something seize control of the United States?

What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did President Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?

Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?

When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines near-criminal?

Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas – furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes, with placards declaring “Off with their d—s”?

Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?

How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional committees?

When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her rival?

  1. When did all this happen?????
    .
    It happened the day after the fall of the Soviet Union and here in the West we didn’t rid all of our countries of the left that was being supported, and paid for by the Soviet Union. We left everybody who worked for and had sympathies for the Soviet Union and communism and socialism in charge here in the western world,instead of purging them all like in Germany after the second world war when the nation was “De-nazified”
    .
    AND NOW WE HAVE TO HELICOPTER RIDE THEM ALL IN A BLOODY BATTLE IN ORDER FOR US RETURN TO SANITY OR WE WILL BE ENSLAVED BY THE LEFT FOR THE REST OF TIME !!!!

    1. And every bit of what you see guys wrote was PREDICTED in crystal clear clarity by YURI BEZMENOV as far back as 1981, I do believe.

      Bezmenov was a Russian KGB agent who defected to the US.

      Seek out his interview…it’s step by step methodology on how to fully communize the West. Kruschev knew that too and said as much back in the day.

  2. They won’t be done until the US is irrecoverably bankrupt … and everyone is living a MadMax dystopian future … murdering for food and fuel.

    And before you call that silly hyperbole … reread what VDH wrote.

    1. Kenji, that magic word that I always use is still in play ,STUPID. People are too dumb to live.

  3. We are entering late-stage civilization.

    Maybe a counter-coup like Pinochet or Caesar or Napoleon will occur and extend robustness, but right now we’re on the downslope.

    1. Jeff, “We are entering late-stage civilization”.

      Yup, but I’ve been saying that for more than thirty years, and yes, I understand it takes many years for a civilization to wither, but ours has been gaining speed these last few years. I’m just wondering if it will complete it’s journey before or after, or because of, the evil WEF elites 2030 agenda!

  4. Orchestrated to a tee. We’re witnessing the inevitable and total collapse of Western civilization in real time. Something to tell your grandkids someday before they’re confiscated as gov’t property and shipped off to learning centres.
    Y’know, when the world’s nobility tells you “you’ll own nothing and be happy” they aren’t effing around…they mean what they say.
    A lot of chatter lately about CBDC – Central Bank Digital Currency. When the world’s economy tanks, and it will, that’s when the fun starts. Confiscation of all private property and instituting a social credit score. Used up all your credits? Oooof! That’ll suck.
    The technology is there just waiting for the green light.

    1. burton, re CBDC, That really is the crux of their plan. If enough stupids and fools sign on to this idea, we’re fully screwed. It could also cause the start of civil war in many western countries. Unfortunately we Canadian sheeple are too lazy to have one here.

      1. Not that we are too lazy just the fact that the tools of rebellion have been and are being systematically removed from our grasp. At the same time we are being systematically impoverished by government taxation and programs that are designed to weaken our ability and resolve to counter their rule of terror.

  5. This is, after all, the third term of Barack Obama. One need only look at his mentors, his ideological heroes, and some things he had the audacity to say out loud, to understand what has befallen us. Joe Biden, who voters were promised would return some sense of reasonableness, of compromise, of normalcy to the political equation has instead accelerated the pace of attack on Western Culture, by greasing the wheels of every available marginal liberal initiative.

    We are daily pummeled with a drumbeat of events which even a decade ago would, individually, have brought a deep sense of alarm to the majority. We are daily astonished at government complicity with, and implementation, even mandate of policies that defy reason, logic, and the legal constitutions of our nations, and of which the majority certainly do not approve. It’s as if Biden and his handlers had determined to scour every corner of the republic, every back alley, every bar, and opium den, for fringe liberal initiatives, and decided to implement each of them all at once. Of course, their search was not nearly that difficult. Everything that bewilders us today originated in Western colleges and universities, which are a buffet-line of insane secular grievances, micro-minority tears, and proposals to outright destroy our culture.

    VDH did a stellar job capturing the most prominent disruptions, but the list could easily be three times what he’s recorded. Laid out back-to-back-to-back they provide a clear understanding of why many of us today feel permanently disoriented, and are living in a place we no longer recognize.

    If there is hope of chipping away at the insanity, it bubbled up in the US House of Representatives this week. Mainstream media and individual politicians variously attacked those not voting with the majority (an essential process of Democracy), as ugly, as unseemly, and even as terrorists. The media pundits and ranting politicians, some even on the right and claiming to be our allies, revealed themselves as forces and people we cannot trust, who are heavily invested in the ongoing destruction of Western culture.

  6. Alexa: Did Ukraine President and former comedian Zelinsky really phone Kevin McCarthy to congratulate him for being elected Speaker of the House?
    Further – Does this mean more of the same?

  7. “Jaw jaw rather than bang bang”

    Ever try to discuss any of these points with Liberals?
    You can argue these or any other similar points with Liberals until they tell you to “stop” or “shutup” or they censor you.

    One day, when it’s too late, they will discover “shutup” is the foundation of every mass grave, killing field, carpet bombing and nuclear strike.

  8. It could all be fixed.
    Maybe.
    But what is needed is a real insurrection.

    I’m certainly not advocating, just stating the obvious.
    And what is truly awful is that it would make the first civil war look like a sissy fight.

    People are entrenched on both sides.
    No Man’s Land (ironically) is occupied by a very few.

    1. Buddy, antifa and blm are all ready there and the democrats support them. In canada the liberals and their cohorts are the ones fomenting violence. People just cannot see it because they are scared shitless to even go there. Cowardice is the word of the day.

  9. American Democracy – whether you want it or not. We could ask aourselve the sam questions. Who voted for 1/2 million immigrants per year? Who voted to eliminate the ICE? Who voted for UNDRIP? Who voted for the Carbon Tax? Who voted for the WHO? No one ran in an election on any of these things but we have them, democratically, apparently.

    The West all over is getting Democracy good and hard, it appears.

    I expect the Conservatives will repeal all these things in their first term, won’t they?

  10. It’s sad o have been born in the latter half of the f-around century only to have to live out the find out century.

  11. Consider this:
    If you ask 10 people you know, or random 10 people anywhere, how many would know what you’re talking about.
    How many would at least acknowledge that its true.
    How many would not believe you.
    How many would call you names, bigot, misogynist, racist, nazi, fascist, and on and on.

    A wild guess would be over 50%, possibly, without surprise 90%.

    How can you expect any different results when the political/mass media cartel complex propaganda works 24/7 to misinform, omit, lie, ….
    This is where we are in North America.

    Only about 20 people in congress oppose that.
