Time to Stop the Authoritarian Shift and Keep the U.S. Free
The 2024 presidential election will bear witness to one of two things. The deepening of the systemic transformation that has been going on since Barack Obama’s ascension to power in 2009. This course is intellectually underpinned by modern Marxist premises and has been using Fabian socialist means for its implementation. To carry through policies, the Obama model, has been novel in its use of alternate mechanisms for systemic change promotion. Besides the typical executive and legislative venues available to a president and party leader, Obama has redefined the civil service sector to suit his ideological objectives by placing committed and like-minded individuals to head these departments and opening new agencies that have been given broad police powers.
It is a shadow government, an administrative state (also known as the Deep State). This myriad of unelected state bureaucratic entities includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of State (DOS), and many of their auxiliary agencies. The mentioned undemocratic governing leviathan has coopted private actors such as woke business and financing emporiums, corporate and social media outlets, and Big Tech (Google, Microsoft, etc.). Together, they enjoy effective power that can match that of any totalitarian regime. This course is integrated with globalist movements and international governing bodies that aim to erase any notion of national sovereignty.
The other alternative represents the reversal of this postmodern global socialist revolution. This crusade to defend Western civilization and its values, includes the principle of consensual government, basic liberties, the rule of law, and a notion of ordered progress that is considerate of time-tested truths and ethics. By now, it should be clear which candidate and party stand for these contrarian positions. Kamala Harris and today’s Obamian Democratic Party is pushing the former agenda. Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party is taking up the sword for the latter.
Harris has problems communicating and providing straight answers. An absence of brilliance is not the only explanation. As Obama’s natural heir (since 2019), the current vice-president’s flimsy public responses and contradictory policy pronouncements are tied into the postmodern belief system she subscribes to. For Marxists that have incorporated postmodernism into their ideology, as is the case with Obama and the American Left, power is the end goal of everything, as it is the determining factor of life. This worldview takes Marx’s Dialectical Materialism to a different realm. Harris is forced to give repetitive and stupid remarks to every question. The habitual response of “I come from a middle class” is the result of trying to fool a population of your true goals with scripted spools of senseless words.
The Obamian Democratic Party has made a grand assault on culture’s means of production (religion, family, law, media, and education). Censorship and suppression of the opposition are a necessity for the empowerment of antisystem left-wing movements. Trump’s 2016 electoral victory was an interruption of the cultural socialist path to deconstruct the U.S. The Obama/Biden and Biden/Harris presidencies (2009-2017 and 2021-2025) have imitated global trends where Marxist-based paradigms have gained enormous leverage over popular sovereignty and natural rights. Consequently, facts, truths, or opinions that challenge the movement’s prescribed position in a way that contradicts the monopolized version of knowledge they are promoting are vigorously censored. Labeling any such activity or expression as “hate speech,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” “fascist,” and “a threat to democracy” has been grounds to silence and, if need be, prosecute, convict, and sentence to jail time. The call to “regulate” online and social media speech is common talk among Democratic Party operatives and politicians.
Included in the long list of repressive tools and suppressive activities of the Obamian deep state was the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act, signed into law on December 23, 2016, coincidentally following Trump’s presidential election win. As a seminal conspirator, upon realizing the failure of his scheme (in collaboration with the Democratic National Committee) to derail the Trump candidacy by falsely tying the Republican candidate’s campaign with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Obama then sought to continue the false Russia hoax conspiracy theory alive in the hopes of toppling the 45th president.
The cited “disinformation” act employed and popularized the concept whose origination comes from the intelligence realm. This was a much-employed strategy by the KGB during the Cold War. The intent is clear. By criminalizing targeted speech under the pretense of combating “disinformation,” and, on the other hand, evading scrutiny of any fact that is harmful to the establishment account, a “disinformation” label seeks to delegitimize the truth when it is inconvenient. By exaggerating claims of Russian “interference” in the 2016 election and building on fraudulent information doctored by foreign intelligence operatives (Steele Dossier) and presented by the FBI to FISA courts seeking the authority to spy on Trump, a broad range of domestic espionage and censorship instruments were carried over into his presidency and remain today. Trump had to be politely overthrown, one way or another.
The Election Integrity Project (EIP) was another Obama measure designed to interfere with U.S. elections and control the narrative of what is considered by the Left as “real” news and valid opinion. As one of his last official initiatives, Obama transferred to DHS the functions of the EIP on January 6, 2017. By extending such astonishing surveillance powers to a federal agency under the pretense of protecting American elections from foreign enemies, DHS began and has continued to monitor online speech and pressure social media platforms, with the help of the FBI. Recent testimony by Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, attests to the pressures exerted by federal police agencies to curtail speech.
Fact-checking platforms are another censorship tool that the Left and the establishment elite in power utilize to legitimize their falsehoods and suppress opposing views. The art of fact-checking was, traditionally, a supportive role of investigative journalism. Just as critical journalism has, sadly and for the most part, metastasized into political advocacy, so has the role of fact-checking. Today, a great bulk of the organizations that “fact-check” are subsidized by far-left groups. This obligates the task of fact-checking the fact-checkers.
The war from within to make America a globalist Neo-Marxist member of the international village, must be checked and reversed. This can only be possible if Donald J. Trump wins the 2024 elections. If he becomes the 47th president, Trump must seriously roll back cultural Marxist policies such as Critical Race Theory, Gender Ideology, Critical Queer Theory, and Post-Colonial Theory, just to name a few of cultural socialism’s venom that have taken hold of the government agencies, the educational system, and the workplace. Trump will need a majority in both chambers. As Abraham Lincoln is quoted to have said, “You can fool all of the people some of time; you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” The American people appear to have, for the most part, been alerted to the real threat that U.S. democracy faces from the Obamian Democratic Party. God willing, November 5, 2024, may usher in a healthy return to sanity and respect for a free society.
