The Crisis

The most immense and dangerous public scandal in American history is finally cracking open like a ripe pomegranate. The broad swath of the Trump-hating media that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government are reduced to reporting the events and revelations of the scandal in which they have been complicit, in a po-faced ho-hum manner to impart to the misinformed public that this is as routine as stock market fluctuations or the burning of an American flag in Tehran.

For more than two years, the United States and the world have had two competing narratives: that an elected president of the United States was a Russian agent whom the Kremlin helped elect; and its rival narrative that senior officials of the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, and other national intelligence organizations had repeatedly lied under oath, misinformed federal officials, and meddled in partisan political matters illegally and unconstitutionally and had effectively tried to influence the outcome of a presidential election, and then undo its result by falsely propagating the first narrative. It is now obvious and indisputable that the second narrative is the correct one.

Unfortunately, "the truth" doesn't really matter to the powers that be. They want what they want, and if they have to destroy the country to get it ... they will.

The Founders gave us many tools with which to prevent such a crisis, such as freedom of speech, press, and religion ... and as a last resort, public ownership of firearms. Sadly, all such tools have been rendered useless.

What now? We seem to face a manufactured stalemate not unlike the one between Maduro and Guaido, and that should tell us a lot. Not only is our government in danger of being overthrown, but our constitution also may be kicked to the curb.

We're on the verge of unbecoming what we used to be. And just like in the early days of the republic, it is the moneyed classes who will decide our future.

G-d help us.
