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.

2020 Election: Is the Constitution Being Challenged?

No matter what the outcome, today will be a historical event of tremendous proportions. Adherence to the constitution remains to be seen.

Today is the day the president is elected. It is not on Election Day or when state governors certify the electoral votes. It is only when Congress formally counts those votes, and the 270-number threshold is reached.

The 2020 presidential election has been and is in dispute. This is not out of capriciousness, as critics of the President claim. State election laws were altered in reaction to the pandemic crisis. This was done without the proper constitutional channels that allow for changes. As a result, a wide range of voting irregularities and anomalies took place tipping the election in favor of one candidate over the other by less numbers than those of the votes whose validity is in question.

The Tragedy of a Cuban New Year.

The date brings sadness to Cubans, that day marked the historical aberration of the Communist takeover of Cuba.

For most Cubans, New Year’s Day comes with mixed emotions. The convivial occasion, on the one hand, of saying goodbye to the departing year and welcoming a new one, is celebrated joyously as is the custom in most parts of the world. At the same time, a degree of sadness engulfs Cubans. That day, marked the historical aberration of the Communist takeover of Cuba occurred. The claim of an epic guerrilla-led, revolutionary war of national liberation victory, militarily won, and consummated to overcome abject poverty, social injustices and neo-colonial claims in Cuba is fraudulent and part of the historiographical farce the far-left has conned a great part of the world into believing. Comprehensive deceit and walloping disinformation have been the foundational pillars of Castro-Communism since its inception.
