A great summation of our current national dilemma.

~~~~~
From Bartholomew Chiaroscuro, a UK writer with this nom de guerre. 

"Many might wonder why I’m still talking so often about the US election. It was in November, I’m British, it’s a done deal. Biden is serving as President. Why keep on about it? 

"The reason I’ve become so obsessed with it is not just because I liked Trump and admired his policies. It’s not even because I have US friends who are more directly impacted by it all than me. It’s not even the loathsomeness, fraud and corruption involved, and the outright evil of many of the policies pushed by the Democrats in the US. I consider them the most extreme party to get into power in a major western nation since the Second World War, but that’s not the primary reason I still talk about this. 

"It is because this is the first time in my life that reality itself has been torn apart by ideological bias. It is the first time that something blindingly, obviously true that happened and that involved millions of people has been universally condemned, in a West with a heritage of logic and reason, as utterly false. It is the distortion of reality on this scale, the obviousness of that distortion, that is terrifying. Because if a lie this big and this obvious can be engaged in without comment and without consequence, anything is possible, no matter how hideous. It sets the precedent that no future election may be trusted, and that there is no democracy in the West. Worse, it establishes that facts do not matter in any way, and that the media can decide who is elected, who is not, who governs, who makes rulings that affect the entire globe, in direct contradiction of the voices of the people. 

"We have seen propaganda before. We have seen bias. We have seen years of hate masquerade as equality, or progress, or enlightenment. We have seen cancel culture and mainstream figures supporting terrorists. But we have never seen, in supposedly free societies, the media seize hold of reality, grab an entire nation and its political fate, and wrench it physically, boldly, with chillingly uniform intent, into the realm of delusion. We have never seen before, since the end of WWII, a major nation cast into the abyss where anything goes, by the combined efforts of crooked politicians, crooked journalists, and crooked judges. This was no small, marginal fraud in an insignificant nation. This was a massive, coordinated, logically impossible to dispute fraud in the most powerful nation on Earth. It is even a fraud that it’s supporters now openly boast about in the pages of Time magazine. And it ushers in the most radical, destructive, suicidal agenda embarked on by any major nation in almost a century. 

"The murder of JFK in 1963 was more dramatic, but less seismic than this. Because you don’t have to believe that everyone was in on that, even if you think there was a wider conspiracy than just the madness of a single gunman. But with this we have quite plain evidence now that the FBI was in on it, the Department of Justice was in on it, the Supreme Court refuses to look at the evidence about it, senior Republican figures were in on it, Big Tech billionaires were in on it, social media giants were in on it, other world leaders rushed to endorse it, even the bloody American Chamber of Commerce was in on it. The sole reason the lie has triumphed is that the Swamp is far bigger, and far more real, than even the most cynical of us supposed. It is a lie that is just too big to be allowed to fail, like a bank that has to be propped up with quantative easing. Only this thing is supported with the currency of lies, printed endlessly in every newspaper in the world and cashed in on every TV show news report. The world was horrified when a President was murdered. It should be just as horrified when a winning President doesn’t have to be murdered to be removed, and silenced, and rendered powerless. 

"The latest cowardly absurdity of Supreme Court judgement confirms all of the above. They are more terrified of the consequences of exposing the theft than they are of the consequences of continuing the lie. They would rather see millions disenfranchised, voting rendered meaningless, and an extreme radical agenda that helps the enemies of the West rolled out, then face the embarrassment of admitting the truth. So they flee from their judicial and constitutional duty, squealing in terror, diving into shadows to avoid the light of truth. It is a revolting spectacle, but another one that will be presented as ‘evidence’ that up is down, evil is good, and stolen is earned. What a lesson for the world that is."
