Mr. President, it’s Time to Cross the Rubicon

In the year 49 BC, Roman general Gaius Julius Caesar had every right to expect rewards and honors upon his return to Rome. Over the previous decade, he had conquered the Gauls, the Roman people’s most ancient enemy. He had added most of modern-day France to the Republic, and made the nearby Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul safe for commerce.

Instead, Caesar’s enemies in the Senate were plotting his demise. There was open talk in the Senate of having him executed for having exceeded his authority as governor. Roman generals were forbidden from entering Italy under arms and, with his term in office at an end, Caesar would need to return to Rome alone and unarmed. Given Rome’s recent history of purges under the dictator Sulla, Caesar’s friends and subordinates could also expect to face, if not death, then loss of influence and their place in society — the 1st century BC version of being cancelled.

Rather than meekly submit to execution and humiliation, Caesar and his men did the unthinkable. They crossed the Rubicon river, the ancient border between Italy and the other Roman provinces. In the process, they toppled the Roman Republic and founded the Roman Empire.

Of course, naked self-interest would not in itself justify crossing the Rubicon. But Caesar’s act was as much about politics as it was about personal survival.

Over the previous 150 years, a series of wars and military reforms had left the average Roman destitute. The sturdy Italian farmer of 200 BC had become the landless citizen of 49 AD, his former property owned by a handful of wealthy senators, and worked by foreign slaves captured in Rome’s wars. Caesar offered his men something the corrupt senators could never offer: their rightful place within their society.

Treason as a Way of Life

Today’s Americans are at a similar crossroads. Since Nixon opened the nation to China in the 1970s, both parties have been riding the same globalist gravy train. 50 years ago, one person with a high school diploma could provide a middle-class lifestyle for a family of four. Now, our factories have been sent to China and Mexico, replaced by bland strip malls with nary a local business to be found.

Our shift to an “information economy” has enriched a handful of Americans, even as millions of middle-class jobs have been destroyed by globalization — all for the benefit of our ruling class. Even higher-paying jobs are often farmed out to non-Americans. H1B visa holders in the tech industry work for a fraction of what a comparably-skilled American can charge. And when their contracts are up, they return to their third-world homelands, taking with them the knowledge and American dollars they have gained at the expense of an American citizen.

Not content to send our jobs overseas, or even to farm them out to foreign temporary workers, our leaders have willingly allowed the influx of tens of millions of illegal immigrants. These are people we cannot vet and cannot track, who have nothing in common with our culture, who refuse to speak the language, and who all too often have more loyalty to their country of origin than they do to the country that took them in. This is irrelevant to the elites, who are themselves loyal to no country whatsoever.

Politicians in both parties have dithered, preferring fat lobbyist donations to the welfare of the people they swore to serve. The best and bravest young Americans were sent to die in wars for corporate interests, or to assuage the desires of “allies” who can’t be bothered to fund their own militaries.

There is a word for this type of behavior: treason. That is, giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Now, some might say that this is too strong a term. After all, we’re not at war.

But what is economic competition and diplomacy, if not war by non-violent means? When 7,000,000 American jobs move to China, the Chinese people are better off and the American people are worse off. When China steals our technology, manipulates their currency, and rigs international environmental agreements to their benefit and America’s loss, that is war. When tens of thousands of South Americans arrive at our southern border, waving South American flags, demanding entry, and demanding welfare money, that is an invasion. When members of our government participate in that process, it is treason. In any truly free society, most of our elected representatives would be arrested, tried, and, when found guilty by a jury of their peers, duly imprisoned or executed as defined in 18 U.S.C. Ch. 115.

Treason as National Policy

With the election of Donald Trump in 2016, two generations of treasonous Presidents came to an end. For the first time in many Americans’ memory, we had a leader who put us first, instead of working for the global elites. He had come to “drain the swamp,” a metaphor not just for the corrupt politicians, but for the thousands of unelected bureaucrats whose job it is to ensure that the interests of the elite are our government’s number one priority.

Many of us naively believed that with a President who truly loved the American people, we would finally be done with waivers and “catch and release” immigration. Draconian gun regulations would stop flowing from the ATF, and China would stop stealing our jobs. We would abandon environmental agreements that make it impossible for our businesses to compete, and we would stop spending billions of military dollars to support our weak and pathetic so-called allies in NATO.

How foolish we were. The day after the 2016 election, an FBI agent at the heart of the politically-motivated Russia investigation ended an email to a colleague with “viva le resistance!” He would later be charged with altering documents in the application for FISA warrants against Trump campaign advisors. Throughout Trump’s entire first term, the media gleefully touted the “resistance” inside the executive branch.

What the media calls “resistance,” any rational person calls “treason.” The President was trying to dictate executive branch policy, as is his prerogative. Rather than fulfill their role as apolitical public servants, unelected, overeducated bureaucrats who have never worked a day in the private sector waged war against every conceivable Trump policy. Officials at the EPA had to be forced to rewrite regulations. Officials inside the Justice Department openly sabotaged every Trump effort on immigration, and the swamp rats in the Treasury Department have ensured that tariffs on China are nothing more than a thin facade.

These so-called “public servants” have chosen to dictate policy from on high. Never mind if the American people want the illegals out. Never mind that we don’t want our jobs going to China, or onerous environmental laws. The elites have their own agenda, and their pet bureaucrats to enact it. When American interests take a back seat to global interests, that’s treason. Every one of these “resistance” members should be fired and charged with treason.

Rather than name these individuals, the media has praised them and, where necessary, protected them. Of all the major media outlets, only the Washington Times dared to name the so-called Ukraine whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella. The rest, including every major social media platform, issued a complete blackout on this traitor’s role as a corrupt Democrat operative. This may not rise to the level of treason, but it tells us that our press is neither free nor fair.

Treason as a Plan of Action

If our elites’ intentions were ever in any doubt, the lockdowns and other responses to the Chinese Flu have left us with no illusions. Small, local businesses were closed by government decree, sometimes at gunpoint, even as large corporate operations continued to function. People were deprived of their Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of religion and assembly, even as Marxist Black Lives Matter demonstrators were allowed to ravage our cities unopposed.

Now, mandatory vaccinations and contact tracing are further eroding our rights. If the elites have their way, every one of us will be tracked and monitored 24/7 by the end of next year. The Democrats are already planning mass gun confiscation, as evidenced by Beto O’Rourke’s infamous pledge to “Take your AR-15s.” Biden endorsed this pledge, and Kamala Harris was one of the most anti-Second Amendment senators of all time.

Now, the Democrats have made it clear that once they are in power, they do not intend to relinquish it. Some counties in California are now letting illegal immigrants vote, and while that’s not yet legal in federal elections, far-left representatives are already pushing for it. Many are advocating packing the Senate by making Washington DC into a state and admitting Puerto Rico, ensuring a permanent Democratic majority. Biden has not even ruled out packing the Supreme Court with justices who view the Bill of Rights as nothing but a scrap of paper.

The Democrats’ assault on the Second Amendment should come as no surprise. Before they enact laws which no self-respecting people could accept, they must first disarm us.

The War on Americans

Democrats at the state and federal level have already made it abundantly clear that they intend to bring Trump and his family up for trial on whatever phony charges they can manage. Given the makeup of today’s judiciary, and the cowardly behavior of even Trump-appointed judges, the outcome of any trials would be a foregone conclusion. Trump and his family would be perp-walked to prison, just as opposition politicians were purged by the Communists.

Worse, the left is already planning a purge of anyone who supported Trump. Here are some choice quotes:

Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post wrote: “Any Republican now promoting rejection of an election or calling not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position, or be accepted into ‘polite’ society. We have a list.”

Clinton Labor Secretary and Obama advisor Robert Reich said: “When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would … name every official, politician, executive and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”

MSNBC commentator Keith Olberman said: “The terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured … and then he, and his enablers, and his supporters, and his collaborators … must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society … [T]he fight is not just to win an election, but to win it by enough to chase — at least for a moment — Trump and the maggots off the stage and then try to clean up what they left. Remember… the fight does not end November 3, but in many ways, will only begin that day.”

These aren’t fringe figures. They’re not nutjobs ranting on a street corner with a sandwich board, or far-left vegan bloggers with 10 followers. They’re major media and political figures.

Loving your country and her citizens is no longer acceptable. We must all be citizens of the world, and patriotic Americans are no better than roadblocks in the path of the New World Order.

The message from the elites is clear: fall in line, or be banished to the fringes of society… If the powers that be are generous enough not to throw you in prison.

Rigging the Electorate

Much has been made over allegations of voter fraud. Maybe there was enough fraud to tilt the election in Biden’s favor. This is certainly a possibility. But many Americans have failed to consider the alternative, perhaps because it’s unspeakable, or even unthinkable. Maybe Joe Biden actually won the election. Maybe he really won enough legal votes in enough states to have an Electoral College victory.

This does not mean that the election was either free or fair. The social media blackout on right-leaning thinkers before the election silenced debate on many key issues. The media went all-in for Biden, with even normally-apolitical USA Today endorsing him. Twitter went so far as to ban the New York Post, the oldest newspaper in America, for reporting on the Hunter Biden-China scandal. There may not be any legal language to describe what happened this year, but our election was stolen as surely as if Xi Jinping himself had overseen it.

In this case, we are left with a conundrum. The election was a sham, the elites have rigged the game, and the masses have been dumbed down to the point that they no longer value their rights. And demographic changes, accelerated by rampant third-world immigration and amnesty for millions of illegals, only ensure that this will get worse as time goes on. If patriotic Americans are going to act, now is the time.

The Republic is Broken

During the American War of Independence, a pro-Royalist Boston clergyman named Mather Byles quipped: “Which is better — to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand tyrants one mile away?”

Byles may have been supporting King George, but he had a point, and it was one that our Founding Fathers took seriously. They feared the “tyranny of the majority” as much as the tyranny of any one individual, and they tried to avoid this in two ways:

First, the Senate and the Electoral College ensured that a simple majority was not enough to make a bill into law. There also needed to be broad geographic agreement, so more populous states could not dictate policy to less populous ones.

Second, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights placed strict limits on government power. In other words, even if you were in the minority, certain fundamental rights were inalienable.

In recent years, the tyranny of the majority has begun to look inevitable. Lawmakers flagrantly violate the Second Amendment, and Ivy League-educated judges rubber stamp their laws. Governors close houses of worship, and the courts rule that freedom of religion is less important than whether or not suburban housewives “feel safe.”

The Bill of Rights is no longer a guarantee, and the Senate and Electoral College are on life support.

The American Republic has failed. We now have mob rule, with the mob indoctrinated and misinformed by the technological elite. Like so many foolish children, they follow the Pied Piper of globalism off the cliff of mediocrity, and they damn the rest of us in the process.

Destroying the Republic to Save Liberty

Next year, the American Republic will be 245 years old. In that time, she has made impressive achievements. She has expanded across a continent, spreading culture and commerce from the Atlantic to the Pacific. She engaged in a bloody war to end the evil of slavery, and sacrificed over 400,000 young men to defeat the Nazis and the Empire of Japan. She put a man on the moon, the first — and, to date, only — country to do so. Even as she lost her soul and her politicians sold out her people, she still found the strength to outlast the Soviet Union.

By any objective measure, the United States of America has achieved more in her short lifespan than many nations have accomplished in their entire history.

But America is not a system of government, or even a series of accomplishments. The USS America is an idea, with the Bill of Rights as her compass and Enlightenment values as her North Star. We can survive without a Congress, or a Senate, or even a federal government. But when the Bill of Rights is ignored, when the Enlightenment is a plot by the racist patriarchy, when speech is violence and rioting is speech, when masculinity is toxic unless the masculine person is a biological woman, America cannot survive.

If Biden is allowed to take office, we can expect the following:

A six-week (minimum) national lockdown, destroying what remains of our small businesses, and violating our First Amendment rights to free speech, free religion, and freedom of assembly

A renewed ban on so-called assault weapons, magazine limits, and other violations of our Second Amendment rights

Amnesty for 30 million illegal aliens, permanently reshaping the demographics of our country and eroding the value of existing Americans’ citizenship

An end to the trade war, and renewed outsourcing to China and other third-world countries

Mandatory vaccinations and contact tracing, including mandatory GPS tracking of smartphones

An end to fracking and oil drilling, making America dependent on foreign energy sources

Continued foreign wars and aggression, in express violation of George Washington’s directive to avoid foreign entanglements

Continued government endorsement of cultural Marxism, critical race theory, and other toxic ideologies that are engineered to divide Americans

In the face of this assault on our deepest values, it’s time for every American to ask what’s more important: the letter of election law and the rulings of our Ivory Tower judiciary, or the foundation upon which our entire system was based. If we wish to live in a nation that is free in fact as well as on paper, we must have a President willing to stand up for our rights.

The President has many supporters at every level of our military. Over 74 million Americans, most of them armed, voted for him. The Proud Boys are standing down and standing by. If we are to save our country, we must strike while the iron is hot, but an ad-hoc resistance to Biden is doomed to failure. To succeed, freedom-loving Americans need a strong leader. We need, dare I say it, Emperor Trump.

On January 6th, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans will descend on Washington to protest Biden’s selection as President. We have the arms, we have the numbers, and we stand ready to defend America and Western culture. Mr. President, it’s time to cross the Rubicon.
