The U.S. Needs an International Media Outlet

America’s Reichstag Fire.

In 1933, the Reichstag building which housed the German parliament was set on fire. The Nazis had barely been in power for four months, yet this incident served as the door to totalitarian consolidation. To this date, no one knows for sure who carried out this destructive act. The National Socialists, however, convinced President Hindenburg that the communists were responsible. With a few broad legal maneuvers, first came the Reichstag Fire Decree, then the Enabling Acts, and German democracy had signed its suicide pact. Something similar is taking shape in America right now.

The forceful entry into the Capitol Building on January 6th by a tiny fraction of a much larger group of peaceful protesters appears to have presented a pretext for the left to attempt to crush the opposition. This is being carried out by Democratic Party with the full complicity of the anti-Trump Republican faction, media, Big Tech, and big business. In addition to the gross suppression of free speech, blacklisting, and financial strangulation, impeachment charges have been levied against President Donald Trump.

Furthermore, the six senators and 121 House members who were acting within their constitutional rights and challenging electoral college votes, are under savage attack. The narrative that accommodates this brazen power grab is the ridiculous notion that this was an “insurrection” and a “coup attempt”. The false “coup” claim includes the constitutional prerogative by congressional leaders of challenging the validity of the electoral college votes.

Thank You Trump: Castro’s Cuba Back on Terrorist List.

Freedom, democracy, and justice received good news on Monday January 11^th when the U. S. State Department redesignated the Castro regime as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (“SST”) and included it on its list.

This move by the Trump Administration places Cuban Communism in a category it should have never left in 2015. Among the failures of the Obama Administration’s foreign policy pursuits was its senseless rapprochement with a dictatorship whose conduct precisely gave rise to the original classification, and which has never changed. The much-criticized move by Obama was a precondition set by the Castro regime to achieve a warming of relations that the Democrat president sought.

The SST designation is authorized and required under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign AssistanceAct. The State Department is legislatively mandated to maintain the list which began in 1979 and to constantly update it when circumstances warrant it. The criteria for the infamous inclusion on this list is to be a supporter, on a continual basis, of international terrorism. Communist Cuba was included on the list in 1982 where it joined Libya, Iraq, South Yemen, and Syria.

Criminalizing Dissent in the Land of the Free.

It has already begun. The exercise of promoting the inefficacy of the opposition by criminalizing speech and political thought has begun to be carried out with a vengeance. Those who believed that American elections could only render a mere change at the helm with no systemic threat challenges, given the perception of sound institutional palladiums in place, have not fully understood what has been happening in America.

The dirty war against Trump

First, at a creepy-crawly speed with Barack Obama’s ascent into the presidency in 2008 and the soft power, gradualist approach to system overhaul. Then there was the idea that Hillary Clinton would surely win and carry leftism forward. Donald Trump’s unexpected 2016 presidential victory put the left in ballistic mode. From there, the socialist war for power went to a different level. Constant resistance against the new Republican administration ensued.

An invented Russia collusion conspiracy theory along with a wild federal probe followed, producing no relevant criminal conviction, and then the discredited impeachment trial, etc. The coronavirus authoritarian shutdowns convinced some that American society could be domesticated and it served as a formidable laboratory experiment. The Black Lives Matter/Antifa uprising since May 2020, took socialist revolutionary action to unimagined heights.

The Crisis of American Democracy.

Now the fractured American Republic finds itself with the executive and legislative branches in the hands of the very group that have done much to bring us to where we are.

There is a serious institutional crisis within America’s democracy. The incidents that occurred at the Capital Building are only symptomatic manifestations of deeper systemic fractures. There is no single culprit, and it has taken time to unfold. Will this be a cyclical, stationary malice or will it have permanent embedding effects?

American Democracy

To be clear, when we speak of democracy as in a popular self-government political arrangement, in the case of the United States, we understand that the American variant is an indirect version with strict republican components. Power is divided, decentralized, and made to cordially compete against each other for the purpose of protecting freedom. This is the original intent of the Framers. This sui generis manner of organizing society and political power was not only applicable to the government. Civil society also was entrusted to be guardians of the system. This is all a chimera today.
