Op-Ed: To Heal the Nation, Biden Must Apologize

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR January 17, 2021


Special Opinion to the Mirror submitted by Paul Plante

So, the anarchy at the capitol is over, mass arrests are taking place, the House of Representatives under Nancy Pelosi is demanding the the vice president remove the president and install himself in his place, and the nation is split even further than it was back in 1968 when Eugene McCarthy, a little-known Democratic senator from Minnesota, announced on November 20, 1967, that he would seek the party’s nomination for president, being very straightforward about his political goals —rehabilitating the American political system and getting the antiwar protests off the streets:

“There is growing evidence of a deepening moral crisis in America — discontent and frustration and a disposition to take extralegal if not illegal actions to manifest protest.”

“I am hopeful that this challenge…may alleviate at least in some degree this sense of political hopelessness and restore to many people a belief in the process of American politics and of American government…[and] that it may counter the growing sense of alienation from politics, which I think is currently reflected in a tendency to withdraw from political action, to talk of nonparticipation, to become cynical and to make threats of support for third parties or fourth parties or other irregular political movements.”

end quotes

That deepening moral crisis McCarthy spoke about in 1968 — the discontent and frustration and a disposition to take extralegal if not illegal actions to manifest protest, were as a direct result of the policies of Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson who had been elected in 1964 with the greatest majority since Franklin Roosevelt’s reelection triumph in 1936, and four years later, on the eve of the 1968 election, had become the most hated man in America.

“I feel like a hitchhiker caught in a hailstorm on a Texas highway,” he told his press secretary.

“I can’t run.”

“I can’t hide.”

“And I can’t make it stop.”

So, yes, people in the United States of America, one single man, in that case, Lyndon Baines Johnson, can split the nation asunder and bring us to the brink of a civil war, which thought takes us to a Yahoo News article entitled “Joe Biden, now president-elect, declares it is ‘time to heal in America'” by David Knowles, Brittany Shepherd and Hunter Walker on November 7, 2020, where we had as follows:

In his first speech as president-elect on Saturday, Joe Biden said he hoped to unify the nation after an especially bitter campaign with President Trump, who has so far refused to concede defeat in the race.

end quotes

Now, when I read that part about Joe Biden of all people saying he hoped to “unify” the nation, my first thought was, yeah, right, Joe, and how exactly do you propose to do that after working so hard to divide it?

Yes, people, like Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson before him, Joe Biden has done more to divide this nation than has Donald Trump, which proposition is before us in this essay.

As to really healing this nation after he and Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Charley “Chuck” Schumer have done so much to divide it, does Joe Biden plan to apologize to all those people in America he previously called the “dregs of society” as in The Daily Wire story “Joe Biden Calls Trump Supporters ‘Virulent People,’ The ‘Dregs Of Society'” by Joseph Curl on September 17, 2018, as follows:

Joe Biden just had his “deplorables” moment.

Biden, who says he’ll decided in January whether to run for president in 2020 but who is making all the moves of a presidential candidate, used a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign annual dinner on Saturday to rip President Trump.

And in so doing, Biden had a moment reminiscent of Hillary Clinton, when she called Trump supporters “deplorables.”

Biden did his old act, starting off soft and avuncular before booming through his power points, punching the air and flailing about.

“Despite losing in the courts, and in the court of opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made,” he said.

“This time they — not you — have an ally in the White House.”

“This time they have an ally.”

“They’re a small percentage of the American people — virulent people, some of them the dregs of society.”

“God forgive me,” he added, making the sign of the cross as the audience applauded.

“Our work is not yet done by any stretch of the imagination.”

“The stakes are much too high.”

And then he went even further. “This is deadly earnest, we are in a fight for America’s soul,” Biden said.

end quotes

So what now does Joe Biden plan to do with those “forces of intolerance,” those virulent people, some of them the dregs of society?

If he is going to unify the nation, where does he envision those forces of intolerance, those virulent people, some of them the dregs of society, fitting into his scheme?

Or is he going to pull a Lenin or Stalin act and simply eliminate them from society to clear the path for the better world Joe Biden and the Democrats are promising to those who are his followers?

Getting back to the Yahoo News article while we wait for that answer from Team Biden, it continues as follows:

The former vice president repeatedly sought to reinforce his message during the campaign that he would seek to be a president for all Americans, regardless of whether they had voted for him.

end quotes

He would “seek” to be a president for all Americans?

What the **** is that?

Doesn’t the Constitution make it incandescently clear that the president is supposed to be the president for all Americans by taking care that OUR laws be faithfully executed?

So what is up with this talk of “seeking,” which is defined as an attempt or desire to obtain or achieve something?

If Joe Biden has to “seek” to be a president for all Americans, then in my estimation as an American citizen, he is not fit to be the president of a free people.

Getting back to the story:

“I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify.”

end quotes

All well and good, Joe Biden, but dude, by calling American citizens dregs of society, you were seeking to divide us for partisan political gain for yourself and the Democrat party, which represents only a third of the American people at best, so how can you now possibly unite us, those of us in the 70% who never were Democrats and don’t want to be?

Getting back to it one more time, we have:

“We need to stop treating our opponents as our enemies,” Biden told the crowd.

“They’re not our enemies.”

“They’re Americans.”

end quotes

Yes, Joe Biden, they are Americans, aren’t they.

And they were Americans when you called them “dregs of society,” and you encouraged your followers to treat them as enemies.

So when you tell us, “This is the time to heal in America,” what now is your plan for doing so?

The candid world that watches and waits would like to know!

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR January 17, 2021 at 10:06 pm

Paul Plante says:

“Biden chief of staff vows ‘message of unity’ at inauguration”

That is what CNN (Cuomo News Network) is touting on its website today.

This comes to us from the Boston Globe:

“Biden’s message of returning to ‘normalcy’ will take center stage this week”

“Joe Biden, who ran on a message of unity and healing, will be sworn in as the country’s 46th president on Wednesday at the literal scene of a crime.”

“One hand on the Bible, the other in the air, Biden will stand in front of the US Capitol just two weeks after angry supporters of President Trump, including white supremacists, breached and then ransacked the building, leading to five deaths.”

“The tanks, razor-wire-covered fences, and thousands of National Guard troops surrounding the stage will only further emphasize the precariousness of the peaceful transfer of power this year in a dystopian scene that clashes loudly with the inauguration’s official theme: ‘America United.’”

end quotes

Joe Biden ran on a message of unity and healing?

No, he didn’t!

That’s bull****!

Joe Biden ran on a divisive message wherein he likened Trump supporters to “DREGS OF SOCIETY.”

That is not a message of healing and unity.

Far from it.

And then we have this from the Associated Press, to wit:

“In inaugural address, Biden will appeal to national unity”

January 17, 2021 1:13 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden will deliver an appeal to national unity when he is sworn in Wednesday and plans immediate moves to combat the coronavirus pandemic and undo some of President Donald Trump’s most controversial policies, his incoming chief of staff said Sunday.

end quotes

So, national unity?

The bit about undoing some of President Donald Trump’s most controversial policies seems a bit wide of the mark of achieving national unity to me, anyway.

Rather, it seems a very good way for Joe Biden and the Democrats, who want one-party rule in America, to further marginalize those that Joe Biden has already written off as “DREGS of SOCIETY” here in America.

Getting back to that AP article, it continues thusly:

Klain told CNN’s “State of the Union” that Biden, in his inaugural address to the nation, will deliver “a message of moving this country forward.”

“A message of unity.”

“A message of getting things done.”

“President-elect Biden will take action — not just to reverse the gravest damages of the Trump administration — but also to start moving our country forward.”

Incoming White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said Biden would use his address to the American people to appeal to those frustrated by the rancor of Washington and to explain how his administration will tackle the nation’s challenges.

“I think you can expect that this will be a moment where President-elect Biden will really work to try to turn the page on the divisiveness and the hatred over the last four years and really lay out a positive, optimistic vision for the country, and lay out a way — lay out a path forward that really calls on all of us to work together,” she told “Fox News Sunday.”

end quotes

Which takes us back to the theme of this thread, which is that for Joe Biden to really heal America, and here I am talking about the roughly 70 percent of the people in this country who aren’t Democrats and don’t want to be Democrats, then Joe Biden has to apologize to the American people for the harm he has caused this nation by his message of hate and divisiveness when he was running for office by running down those who support his arch enemy, Trump, but the problem for Joe now is that the time for that apology has gone by the boards with that massive assault on our democracy on and after January 6, 2021, where we have Democrats like AOC out there shrieking that the Republicans are going to kill her and the Democrats, and the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER article entitled “Biden slams Capitol mob as ‘domestic terrorists’; Trump acknowledges new administration day after inciting riot and as calls grow for his removal” on 8 January 2021, we have Joe Biden himself, not yet in office, already lying to us, as follows:

President-elect Joe Biden called the participants in the mob “domestic terrorists.”

“Don’t dare call them protesters,” Biden said.

“They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists.”

Biden blamed Trump’s incendiary language and actions throughout his presidency for what he called “one of the darkest days of our nation.”

“I wish we could say we couldn’t see it coming, but that isn’t true.”

“We could see it coming,” Biden said.

“He unleashed an all out assault on our institutions of our Democracy from the outset and yesterday was but the culmination on that unrelenting attack.”

end quotes

That don’t sound like a message of unity to me; rather, it sounds like a man getting ready to go to war against America!

Stay tuned for further developments!

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR January 18, 2021 at 11:37 am

Paul Plante says:

And to see exactly how ludicrous the concept of Democrat Joe Biden healing and uniting this nation really is as his Democrats make an unprecedented assault on our democracy and ramp up their efforts to further divide the nation just as they did back in the 1850’s when they caused the Civil War, let’s go to an NBC News story entitled “Some Democrats in Congress are worried their colleagues might kill them – House members openly accuse far-right representatives of threatening their health and safety after the Capitol riot” by Benjy Sarlin on Jan. 14, 2021, where we have as follows:

WASHINGTON — After last week’s deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, members of Congress are expressing something once unthinkable: that some of their own colleagues may be endangering their lives.

Not in a rhetorical sense, but in a direct and immediate way.

“It’s the most poisonous I’ve ever seen,” Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said in an interview.

“There’s the overall sense that maybe if some of them have guns — and likely the ones who are more into conspiracy theories and QAnon with the pedophilic satanic rings — are we safe from them?”

end quotes

Now, seriously, people, how is Joe Biden, himself a Democrat, going to deal with that kind of inflammatory rhetoric from his faction as he tries to unite and heal the nation his faction is dividing?

Getting back to the news, we have more as follows:

Since the deadly riot Jan. 6, lawmakers have suggested — not, so far, backed up by evidence — that far-right colleagues may have helped plan or guide the attack.

end quotes

They have no evidence, but that does not stop them from making the accusations.

So how is Joe Biden going to deal with that, one must wonder – these charges by his faction that Republicans in the House of Representatives are a threat to Joe’s Democrats?

Is he going to “man up” and step up to the plate and demand these Democrats who are talking this **** to stop making dangerous and inflammatory accusations without evidence?

Or is he going to let them continue to divide us further?

Getting back to the story, it goes on as follows:

Democrats are outraged at 147 Republicans who they say abided by the rioters’ calls and voted to overturn the election results even after the violent attack, which left five people dead and forced lawmakers to hide in their offices and safe rooms.

But, Beyer said, the issue “that has the greater emotional impact is the sense that there’s perhaps actual physical danger from our colleagues.”

end quotes

The one thing you can say about the Democrats is that they have mastered the ART OF THE SMEAR with all these innuendos they are loading up this NBC News article with.

So, on the eve of Joe Biden getting sworn in as the president who is going to heal the nation and divide us, his pack of Democrats are spreading malicious lies and verbal poison to sicken the nation and divide us by accusing the Republicans of being a threat to them.

Will Joe Biden stand up like a man and tell these Democrats to cut the ******* crap or he will take them out behind the barn like he was going to take Trump, and give them some what-for?

Or is he going to wimp out and be the coward who is afraid to stand up to his own party as they work to destroy this nation?

Getting back to that spew of horse**** from the Democrats, we next come to this:

With lawmakers traumatized, hundreds of members of the National Guard sleeping in congressional hallways and warnings from authorities about continued threats, suspicion and rumor are running rampant.

end quotes

Rumor is running rampant because the Democrat rumor mill has been cranked up to flank speed as the Democrats work to bury the Republicans under a mountain of bull**** that will make Mt. Everest look like a molehill in comparison, which takes us next to this:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has said she feared for her life, in part because she doubted the motives of unnamed colleagues who were sheltering with her.

“There were QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers, and frankly white supremacist members of Congress, in that extraction point who I have felt would disclose my location and would create opportunities to allow me to be hurt, kidnapped, etc.,” Ocasio-Cortez, a highly visible progressive and frequent target of conservative media, said in a speech Tuesday streamed live on Instagram.

end quotes

AOC, the DRAMA QUEEN!

What would the world of theater and drama in America do without her?

But there is more:

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., has said she saw lawmakers holding tours around the Capitol the day before the attack, which she said she believes may have been part of a “reconnaissance” effort for the rioters.

There is no evidence of such wrongdoing, and Sherrill has not publicly disclosed any names.

“I was flat on the ground as other members were calling loved ones because they thought that might be the last phone call they made,” Sherrill said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

“To imagine that colleagues of mine could have aided and abetted this is incredibly offensive, and there is simply no way they can be allowed to continue to serve in Congress.”

end quotes

And there is the DEMOCRAT ASSAULT ON OUR DEMOCRACY, right there before our eyes in broad daylight – the Democrats, Joe Biden’s faction, the man who supposedly will heal and unite the nation as president, want to deny American citizens representation in the House of Representatives because they are not represented by Democrats.

And how absolutely UN-AMERICAN is that, to deny American citizens representation in the House of Representatives because they are not represented by Democrats?

Tell us, Joe – the candid world would like to know!

Paul Plante says:

And as we continue to ponder just how ridiculous the concept of Joe Biden of all people healing America and uniting us as a people after working to marginalize Americans he doesn’t like as “DREGS OF SOCIETY” as he campaigned by inflaming the bises and prejudices and hatreds of his base really is, let’s go back for a moment to the NBC News story entitled “Some Democrats in Congress are worried their colleagues might kill them – House members openly accuse far-right representatives of threatening their health and safety after the Capitol riot” by Benjy Sarlin on Jan. 14, 2021, we have more to consider as a people as the Democrats mount this incredible assault on our democracy in their bid to turn us into a ONE-PARTY system in this country, to wit:

Kim Lane Scheppele, a professor of sociology and international affairs at Princeton University who studies how democracies slide into authoritarianism, said the atmosphere was disturbingly similar to those in governments in which dissident politicians live in fear of death threats, including fears that pro-regime extremists might target them with tacit support from government leaders or state security.

“In the atmosphere of threat, a lot of people quit,” she said.

“By the time you’re at the endgame, you only have the people who say they refuse to be bullied and will risk their lives and those that are so bullied they can’t even open their mouths.”

end quotes

There, people, is where the Democrats are taking us, to a one-party tyranny and despotism, which takes us an article posted on the website of kpbs at San Diego State University entitled “Live Updates: Sunday Protests Quiet; Officials Brace For More” by Associated Press on January 16, 2021, where we have as follows concerning the incipient POLICE STATE about to be imposed on us by the Democrats when Joe Biden gets inaugurated and starts issuing a flurry of executive orders that are going to change our lives forever, and not for the better, to wit:

‘We’ve Really Lost Our Innocence,’ Says Pelosi

– 10:13 A.m., Friday, Jan. 15, 2021

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says there may be a need to prosecute members of Congress if any are found to have assisted the pro-Trump rioters in last week’s attack on the Capitol.

The California Democrat says that assault highlighted the need for the U.S. to beware of domestic threats.

She says, “We’ve really lost our innocence in this.”

Pelosi tells reporters that members of Congress need to be able to trust each other.

Her words underscore some Democrats’ suggestions that some GOP lawmakers helped feed President Donald Trump’s supporters’ belief in Trump’s false charges that his presidential election loss was due to vote fraud.

They also highlight the extraordinary distrust and anger that’s grown in Congress since the attack, which led to this week’s House impeachment of Trump.

end quotes

And those threats from Nancy Pelosi to prosecute Republicans in Congress for what she unilaterally declared was an “insurrection,” despite the fact that she has no Constitutional authority to do so take us back in time to February 28, 1933, the day after the German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down due to arson, the day President Hindenburg issued the Decree for the Protection of People and the Reich.

Popularly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, the regulations suspended important provisions of the German constitution, especially those safeguarding individual rights and due process of law.

Focus in on those words “suspended important provisions of the German constitution, especially those safeguarding individual rights and due process of law” to get an idea of where Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats may well be taking us.

The Reichstag Fire Decree permitted the restriction of the right to assembly, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, among other rights, and it removed all restraints on police investigations.

With the decree in place, the regime was free to arrest and incarcerate political opponents without specific charge, dissolve political organizations, and suppress publications.

And there, people, is more we should give some thought to as the Democrats attempt to force the Republican representatives out of the House of Representatives on the grounds that they are insurrectionists.

The Reichstag Fire Decree also gave the central government the authority to overrule state and local laws and overthrow state and local governments, and the law became a permanent feature of the Nazi police state.

In light of what we just witnessed on 6 January 2021, and all of the accusations against the Republicans by the Democrats who hold the power here, and want all of it, that followed, is anyone really naive enough to think that that could not happen here?

As to the Reichstag Fire Decree, it reads as follows:

(Translated from Reichsgesetzblatt I, 1933, p. 83.)

In virtue of Article 48(2) of the German Constitution, the following is decreed as a defensive measure against communist acts of violence endangering the state:

Article 1

Sections 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124, and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. Therefore, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations, as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.

Article 2

If in a state the measures necessary for the restoration of public security and order are not taken, the Reich Government may temporarily take over the powers of the highest state authority.

Article 3

According to orders decreed on the basis of Article 2 by the Reich Government, the authorities of states and provinces, if concerned, have to abide thereby.

Article 4

Whoever provokes, or appeals for, or incites the disobedience of the orders given out by the supreme state authorities or the authorities subject to them for execution of this decree, or orders given by the Reich Government according to Article 2, is punishable – insofar as the deed is not covered by other decrees with more severe punishments – with imprisonment of not less than one month, or with a fine from 150 up to 15,000 Reichsmarks.

Whoever endangers human life by violating Article 1 is to be punished by sentence to a penitentiary, under mitigating circumstances, with imprisonment of not less than six months and, when violation causes the death of a person, with death, under mitigating circumstances, with a penitentiary sentence of not less than two years.

In addition the sentence may include confiscation of property.

Whoever provokes or incites an act contrary to public welfare is to be punished with a penitentiary sentence, under mitigating circumstances, with imprisonment of not less than three months.

Article 5

The crimes which under the Criminal Code are punishable with penitentiary for life are to be punished with death: i.e., in Paragraphs 81 (high treason), 229 (poisoning), 306 (arson), 311 (properties), and 324 (general poisoning).

Insofar as a more severe punishment has not been previously provided for, the following are punishable with death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment not to exceed 15 years:

1. Anyone who undertakes to kill the Reich President or a member or a commissioner of the Reich Government or of a state government, or provokes such a killing, or agrees to commit it, or accepts such an offer, or conspires with another for such a murder;

2. Anyone who under Paragraph 115(2) of the Criminal Code (serious rioting) or under Paragraph 125(2) of the Criminal Code (serious disturbance of the peace) commits the act with arms or cooperates consciously and intentionally with an armed person;

3. Anyone who commits a kidnapping under Paragraph 239 of the Criminal Code with the intention of making use of the kidnapped person as a hostage in the political struggle.

This decree is in force from the day of its announcement.

Berlin, February 28, 1933

The Reich President von Hindenburg
The Reich Chancellor A Hitler

The Minister of Justice Dr. Gürtner

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR January 19, 2021 at 10:30 pm

Paul Plante says:

And as Joe Biden comes into power with security far more reminiscent of a South American or African dictator assuming power in a third-world ****hole after seizing power in a military coup than an American president winning power in a free and fair election, where in a display of just how unpopular he really is here in America, Joe will have more than double the number of troops surrounding him to protect him from the American people as has been the case with other inaugurations in the United States of America where the incoming president was far more popular than is Joe, and as we continue to ponder just how absolutely ludicrous is the concept of Joe Biden of all people healing America and uniting us as a people after him working so hard to garner votes from his base by dividing us as a people for partisan political reasons by marginalizing Americans his base doesn’t like as “DREGS OF SOCIETY” as he campaigned by fanning the flames of the biases and prejudices and hatreds of his base, and as his Democrat faction mounts this incredible assault on our democracy in their bid to turn us into a ONE-PARTY system in this country, quite frankly I am reminded of a New York Times story entitled “Congo Leader Reportedly Dead After Being Shot by Bodyguard” by Norimitsu Onishi on Jan. 17, 2001, where we had as follows:

President Laurent Kabila of Congo, who deposed one of Africa’s great dictators but then brought his country into even worse disarray, was shot and killed today, diplomats and associates said.

The president was shot by one of his bodyguards, according to John E. Aycoth, a lobbyist and public relations consultant in Washington who acts as Mr. Kabila’s spokesman in the United States.

He said he had talked to top Congolese officials, who told him that the president was dead.

The killing was also reported by Louis Michel, foreign minister of Belgium, Congo’s former colonial ruler, who said he was told of Mr. Kabila’s death by ”two trustworthy sources.”

The circumstances of the shooting were not immediately known, but one report said that it had involved a dispute between Mr. Kabila and some of his generals.

The Congolese government gave no details of the incident, but announced that it had sealed borders, closed the airport and imposed a night curfew.

A televised address by President Kabila’s personal chief of staff, Col. Edy Kapend, suggested the seriousness of the events.

Soldiers surrounded the presidential palace, according to reports from the capital, Kinshasa, though the city itself appeared calm.

There was no indication who was in charge.

Ordering senior commanders to bring their units under control, Colonel Kapend said: ”No shots may be fired, for whatever reason, without prior order.”

“The population must not be thrown into panic and the troops must not grow agitated.”

The government’s minister of interior, Gaetan Kakudji, one of Mr. Kabila’s closest allies, went on state television to say that the president himself had ordered the curfew, suggesting that he was still alive.

But in Washington, a senior administration official said the United States has received several reports from credible sources that Mr. Kabila had been assassinated.

”Our operating assumption is that he is dead,” the official said.

Mr. Kabila’s death would dramatically alter the dynamics of a two-and-a-half-year war that has drawn in half a dozen African nations and destabilized all of Central Africa.

Mr. Kabila, who deposed the longtime dictator Mobutu Sese Seko in 1997, had long been considered the main obstacle to any diplomatic resolution to the current conflict, and had become increasingly isolated in his four years in office.

It was not clear tonight who might have led the shooting of Mr. Kabila, though his standing in the military had fallen recently.

After months of stalemate during which the warring parties had seemed satisfied with carving up Congo and feasting on its natural resources, Mr. Kabila’s forces suffered a serious defeat late last year in Katanga, the mineral-rich province in the southeast.

Shots were heard this afternoon near the presidential palace, where fighting also had occurred, according to the United Nations in New York, citing Kamel Morjane, the United Nation’s special envoy to Congo, who was in Kinshasa.

While Mr. Kabila had promised to deliver the Congolese from the years of Mr. Mobutu’s dictatorship, he immediately banned all political parties after coming to power.

And he never followed through on his promise to hold elections in April 1999, instead running the country himself, with the help of a strong military.

Mr. Kabila steadily lost popularity in the capital.

He traveled only at night, because during the day pedestrians would lift their shirts to show their bellies at his passing motorcade as a sign that they were hungry.

end quotes

So why would Joe Biden’s upcoming inauguration remind me more of an African or South American dictator coming into power than a legitimate American president popularly elected by the American people as opposed to having seized power?

How about this FRANCE 24 news article entitled “FBI vets National Guard troops amid fears of insider attack on inauguration” issued on: 18/01/2021, to wit:

US defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, prompting the FBI to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event.

The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol by pro-Trump rioters.

And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.

end quotes

Or how about the article in THE GUARDIAN entitled “FBI vets thousands of troops amid fears of insider attack on Biden inauguration” by David Smith in Washington on 19 Jan 2021, to wit:

Thousands of military personnel guarding Joe Biden’s inauguration as US president on Wednesday are being vetted by the FBI amid fears of an insider attack.

The biggest ever security operation for a presidential transition has turned swaths of Washington into a fortress, barricades, razor wire and 7ft fences erected to prevent a repeat of the deadly 6 January attack on the US Capitol by a mob incited by Donald Trump.

Some 25,000 members – more than double the number at previous inaugurations – are pouring into Washington from across the country, at short notice.

There are concerns that some of the very people assigned to protect the city could present a threat to the incoming president and other dignitaries, the Associated Press reported.

end quotes

Makes us sound a lot like Iraq or Afghanistan, does it not?

Or how about the CNN (Cuomo News Network) story “12 Army National Guard members removed from inauguration duty” by Barbara Starr, Oren Liebermann and Zachary Cohen on January 19, 2021, to wit:

(CNN) Twelve Army National Guard members have been removed from inauguration duty in Washington, DC, as part of the security vetting process initiated, in part, to ensure troops tasked with securing Wednesday’s ceremony in the nation’s capital do not have ties to extremist groups, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau said Tuesday.

end quotes

Yes, people, if it sounds like a police state descending down us as Joe Biden takes power, where everyone not a Democrat who has taken a loyalty oath to Joe Biden is under suspicion, like the Shiites were in Iraq when Sunni Saddam Hussein was the dictator there, it is because a police state is descending down on us as Joe Biden takes power, and the only way Joe can “unite” America is at the point of a bayonet.

As to Joe Biden “healing” America?

Yeah, right!

Paul Plante says:

And as we American citizens who are still loyal to our now-dead Republic wait for the Marxist Dictatorship of the Democrat Proletariat to begin with the ascension of Joe Stalin, er, no, scratch that, just a Freudian slip there, people, sorry about that, I mean Joe Biden to the office of chief magistrate of the United States of America, to get an idea of what is waiting in the wings for white-skinned Americans who are not Democrats and do not want to be Democrats when the Democrats impose their tyranny and despotism on us after capturing and taking hostage the “soul of America,” let us go to a New York Post article entitled “AOC proposes funding to deprogram white supremacists” by Carl Campanile on January 15, 2021, where we learn the fate AOC, Joe Biden and the Democrats have waiting for us, if we happen to have white skin and are not card-carrying members of the Democrat party, to wit:

The federal government needs to fund the de-programming of white supremacists and conspiracy theorists, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Friday night.

end quotes

Said the way the Marxists like AOC would really say that, the federal government in this country now that the Democrats have seized control of our federal government to do with it as they will, regardless of the harm they cause to the nation needs to fund Gulags in the United States in imitation of the system of forced labor camps established during Joseph Stalin’s long reign as dictator of the Soviet Union – notorious prisons, which incarcerated about 18 million people throughout their history, operated from the 1920s until shortly after Stalin’s death in 1953, which is entirely consistent with the Marxist bible AOC uses that is titled “Principles of Communism,” first published in 1914 by Frederick Engels for the Communist League in the form of a catechism, to wit:

— 18 —

What will be the course of this revolution?

Democracy would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.

The main measures, emerging as the necessary result of existing relations, are the following:

(i) Limitation of private property through progressive taxation, heavy inheritance taxes, abolition of inheritance through collateral lines (brothers, nephews, etc.) forced loans, etc.

(ii) Gradual expropriation of landowners, industrialists, railroad magnates and shipowners, partly through competition by state industry, partly directly through compensation in the form of bonds.

(iii) Confiscation of the possessions of all emigrants and rebels against the majority of the people.

It is impossible, of course, to carry out all these measures at once.

But one will always bring others in its wake.

Once the first radical attack on private property has been launched, the proletariat will find itself forced to go ever further, to concentrate increasingly in the hands of the state all capital, all agriculture, all transport, all trade.

end quotes

And put your focus on (iii) Confiscation of the possessions of all emigrants and rebels against the majority of the people, and then ask yourself in the context of what AOC and the Democrats are proposing for our future: “Gee, I wonder who those rebels against the majority of the people in America are going to be now that the Democrats control our national government,” which takes us back to the New York Post as follows:

“The White supremacist cause is futile, it’s nihilist,” AOC, a Democrat who represents parts of The Bronx and Queens, said during a virtual town hall meeting Friday night.

“Their world will never exist.”

end quotes

Ah, not to be overly critical here of the logic AOC is trying to employ to justify her GULAG or re-education camp policy here, but the word “nihilistic” means “rejecting all religious and moral principles in the belief that life is meaningless” as in “an embittered, nihilistic teenager.”

So when she says “(T)heir world will never exist,” that ends up being totally meaningless since the nihilist doesn’t really have a world to begin with.

But AOC is a DRAMA QUEEN, not a scholar, so we can forgive her if she doesn’t know what the **** she is talking about on humanitarian grounds, anyway, which takes us back to the New York Post for more AOC on stage, to wit:

“That’s why we’re seeing violence right now.,” she said, speaking in the wake of the violent siege on the US Capitol by radical supporters of President Trump.

“We have to pick up those pieces.”

Ocasio-Cortez said the House subcommittee on civil rights she serves on has held hearings over the prior two years on white supremacy and said there are programs to “de-radicalize” brain-washed adherents.

But she said funding was not a priority for those programs during the Trump years.

“There are people who are radicalized right now.”

“It’s going to take a very long time to de-radicalize these people and a lot of effort,” she said.

“This is a problem that doesn’t go away on Jan. 20,” said the congresswoman, referring to when Trump leaves the White House and is succeeded by President-elect Joe Biden.

She said many fringe radicals operate in a “misinformation bubble” and it will take more than more than one conversation to de-program them, likening it to therapy.

But, she said, research has shown “healing is possible.”

“We need to double, triple or quadruple the funding for these programs,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC said there is a spectrum of radicalization that ranges from sympathizers to conspiracy theorists, to Neo-Nazis.

Such radical ideology could lead to violence and domestic terrorism.

end quotes

Which justifies getting these white people off the streets and into work camps pronto to keep the nation safe!

Paul Plante says:

Yesterday, on 20 January 2021, a day that will go down in history books as a DAY OF INFAMY, while America slept, with a single stroke of his dictator’s pen, Democrat strongman Joe Biden, the man who supposedly was going to “heal” and “unite” America, which always was a joke, put a bullet right into the head of our REPUBLIC with an “executive order” or dictator’s decree making the former Republic of the United States of America a MARXIST SOCIALIST DEMOCRACY, where according to the IMPERIAL DECREE of Dictator Biden, advancing equity for all is now the government’s responsibility pursuant to the principles laid out by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in their Marxist bible, “Principles of Communism,” first published in 1914.

Dictator Biden has done what other strongmen in Africa and Egypt and South America have done the moment they assumed power – change the constitution unilaterally to make them dictators.

That was his mandate, he would say, if asked.

On 20 January 2021, dictator Biden, who will rule through executive orders, took an oath that stated “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

And right after Joe swore that he would, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, he simply tossed that very Constitution in the trash because it was written by RACISTS and WHITE SUPREMACISTS and he replaced it with the Marxist Constitution which is for all the people oppressed by our former Constitution, which was a Constitution for white people only, not “persons of color.”

The worm has turned, as that saying goes, because advancing equity for all is now the government’s responsibility, and to do that, the government has guns and Joe Biden, as was the case in Russia under Joe Stalin, has the will to use them!

So what is this “equity” that Joe Biden says is now the government’s responsibility to advance, and why all of a sudden are we hearing the word “equity” as opposed to “equality?”

Where did this word “equity” come from, given that we do not find the word in the Preamble to OUR Republican Constitution, to wit:

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Does the word “equity” appear in any of our foundation documents?

Actually, yes, it does, many times, in fact, but in reference to what were called “courts of equity” which existed at the time of separation, and here is where we now have to pay some attention, by comparing a “court of law” with a “court of equity.”

Basically, in law, the term “equity” refers to a particular set of remedies and associated procedures involved with civil law where equitable relief typically refers to injunctions, specific performance, or vacatur.

For example, and as a citizen, I used the process several times against corrupt public officials, being able to bring a suit in court in a very timely manner to overturn an approval made by a corrupt public official who took a bribe for the approval without following any laws, rules, or regulations, and for successfully seeking equity in court, I ended up being crushed (see, Op-Ed: Should Sonia Sotomayor resign in disgrace? January 14, 2018 Opinion to the Mirror by Paul Plante http://www.capecharlesmirror.com/news/o ... ment-77384 )

Given that I was crushed by a Democrat judge appointed to the United States Supreme Court by Barack Obama, I seriously do not think that when Joe Biden, Obama’s chosen successor, mentions “equity,” that that is the equity he is referring to.

He is referring instead to establishing federal courts of equity, where unlike in a court of law where a judge MUST follow the law even if one of Joe’s supporters and followers and adherents was justified stealing a loaf of bread, in one of Joe’s federal courts of equity, the court can use its own discretion to determine whether Joe’s followers and supporters and adherents were justified in stealing the bread, or murdering a white cop, or burning down an American city or looting the possessions of others who are oppressing them, because of their skin color.

January 22, 2021 at 9:49 pm

And recapping the play action in here for anyone just coming to this game, wondering what’s the haps, only to find themselves standing there, jaw agape, in shocked amazement as the Zamboni, in this case a metaphor for the ship of state in America, starts slewing all over the ice and then rams the boards straight on and climbs up through the packed humanity on the other side, resurfacing them like they were more ice, if one were to consult the Reader’s Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, one would find “fascism” defined as a one party system of government in which each class has its distinct place, function, and representation in the government, but the individual is subordinated to the state and control is maintained by military forces, secret police, rigid censorship, and governmental regimentation of industry and finance.

And as we ponder the move by the Democrats to bar the Republicans from having representation in our House of Representatives, which is in reality Nancy Pelosi’s house, not ours, as Joe Biden assumes power in the United States of America, consider well these words from “The Prince” by Machiavelli, to wit:

“So it should be noted that when he seizes a state the new ruler must determine all the injuries that he will need to inflict.”

”He must inflict them once for all, and not have to renew then every day, and in that way he will be able to set men’s minds at rest and win them over to him when he confers benefits.”

“Whoever acts otherwise, either through timidity or bad advice, is always forced to have a knife ready to his hand and he can never depend on his subjects because they, suffering fresh and continuous violence, can never feel secure with regard to him.”

end quotes

And as we consider the fact that right after Joe Biden came into office, he took the dictatorial action of not only essentially changing the purpose of our national government unilaterally, substituting a form of “National Socialism” in place of our Republican frame of government, but further he took the incredible action of decreeing to us what our political history is now going to be, which is a perverted version of our actual history meant to serve as a “historical” basis for Joe changing our constitution to have it favor the “oppressed” in America, the “people of color” and the LGBQT’s, for example, in this case, to the detriment of their “oppressors,” people in America with white skin who are heteronormative and have stable, law-abiding nuclear families, we need to pay heed to this definition of fascism above here, to see if it didn’t just get here with the ascension of Joe Biden into the office of chief magistrate of the United States of America.

As to national socialism, it is a form of government that seeks to convince all parts of society to subordinate their personal interests to the “common good,” and as Joe Biden tries to “unite” us, at the point of a bayonet, if necessary, to “heal” the nation, that is exactly what Joe Biden is to trying to convince us to do – subordinate our personal interests to a “common good” that is going to be determined unilaterally by Joe Biden and imposed on us by fiat, by decree, which is what happened on 20 January 2021 when Joe Biden signed an executive order decreeing that advancing equity for all is the government’s responsibility.

Think very carefully on what those words actually mean, people, because words have meaning, and those meanings have consequences.

As we ponder the ramifications to our nation of that decree by Joe Biden on 20 January 2021 that advancing equity for all is now the responsibility of the national government of the United States of America under Joe Biden, consider that while equality, which is what we are supposed to have in this country, everybody equal, is typically defined as treating everyone the same and giving everyone access to the same opportunities, equity refers to proportional representation by race, class, gender, etc. in those same opportunities.

Of importance to this discussion, consider that while the terms equality and equity are often used interchangeably, they differ in important ways, and to achieve equity, policies and procedures may result in an unequal distribution of resources, which is to say, today in America under Joe Biden, we are all equal, but some are more equal than others.

In America today, we do not have a common body of citizens, each equal to the other; in America today, based on Joe Biden’s executive order decreeing that advancing equity for all is the government’s responsibility, we now have classes of citizens, each with different sets of “rights” when it comes to distribution of government “services,” which under Joe’s decree, are now to be directed at “underserved” communities, an undefined and nebulous term to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

So what Joe is clearly saying by this decree that advancing equity for all is now the government’s responsibility is that today, America now has a system of government in which each class has its distinct place, function, and representation in the government, which is a characteristic of a fascist government, not a Republican government such as is guaranteed to each and every one of us by the Constitution Joe Biden unilaterally scrapped on 20 January 2021 when his dictatorship began.

As to the form of Republican government we are supposed to have, but no longer do, let’s go to the Center for Civic Education site as follows, keeping in mind that this is the history of America that Joe Biden scrapped by fiat on 20 January 2021 with an executive order decreeing a different history of America to be taught, to wit:

Lesson 3: What Is a Republican Government?

This lesson is from the first edition of We the People: The Citizen & the Constitution, Level 1, for upper elementary students.

Purpose of Lesson

This lesson will help you understand why the Founders thought a republican form of government was best.

You will also learn about civic virtue and the common welfare.

The Founders Studied History

The Founders studied the history of governments.

They were very interested in what they read about the government of the Roman Republic.

It was located in what is now the country of Italy.

The Roman Republic existed more than 2,000 years before our nation began.

The Founders liked what they read about the Roman Republic.

They learned some important ideas from their study of the government of ancient Rome.

They used some of these ideas when they created our government.

What is a Republican Government?

The government of Rome was called a republican government.

The Founders read that republican government was one in which:

* The power of government is held by the people.

* The people give power to leaders they elect to represent them and serve their interests.

* The representatives are responsible for helping all the people in the country, not just a few people.

Vocabulary Terms

Representatives: people elected to act for others

Interests: those things which are to a person’s benefit

What are the Advantages of Republican Government?

The Founders thought a republican government was the best kind of government they could choose for themselves.

They believed that the advantages of republican government were:

* Fairness.

They believed that laws made by the representatives they elected would be fair.

If their representatives did not make fair laws, they could elect others who would.

* Common welfare.

The laws would help everyone instead of one person or a few favored people.

* Freedom and prosperity.

People would have greater freedom and be able to live well.

What is the Common Welfare?

When a government tries to help everyone in a country, we say it is serving the common welfare.

The common welfare is what is good for everyone in the country, not just a few people.

end quotes

Well, it used to be anyway, but that was before we got Joe!

Now, it is something entirely different!

Paul Plante says:

Now, here, people, is a stark and vivid example of why I call the Cape Charles Mirror a GRAND PALLADIUM OF LIBERTY such as this nation’s founders considered those PRINTERS in our fledgling nation who were PUBLISHERS of political essays on all sides of competing issues with the Cape Charles Mirror publishing this post above here by our esteemed Constitutional scholar G Anderson as to his take on the Constitutional authority, jurisdiction and discretion of Joe Biden who on 20 January 2021, by an imperial decree disguised as an executive order, Joe Biden hereby ordered that in his sole opinion, which to him as our dictator is all that is needed, what he feels should be done will be done now that he is in the executive office, OUR Nation deserves an ambitious whole-of-government equity agenda that matches the scale of the opportunities and challenges that we face, and it is therefore the policy of his Administration that the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.

As to that being dictatorial, I would simply point to a VOX article entitled “Biden’s flurry of first-day executive actions, explained – The actions launch a more progressive policymaking era” by German Lopez on Jan. 20, 2021, 4:00pm EST, where we have as follows concerning the assumption of dictatorial powers by Joe Biden on 20 January 2021, to wit:

President Joe Biden isn’t waiting for Congress to start enacting his policy agenda.

His presidency is beginning with an aggressive first 10 days in the Oval Office with a suite of executive orders and actions.

end quotes

Joe Biden doesn’t need Congress and Joe Biden isn’t waiting for Congress because according to our esteemed Constitutional scholar G Anderson, Article Two of the United States Constitution gives the president broad executive and enforcement authority to use his or her discretion to determine how to enforce the law or to otherwise manage the resources and staff of the executive branch, along with the authority, jurisdiction and discretion to simply bypass Congress and by executive order, make laws for all of us by himself with no Congressional oversight whatsoever.

To which I respond, whether or not the Constitution gives Joe Biden the power to declare himself a dictator in the United States of America, the fact is, he has done so, and my point is that once that dictatorship has been established, it is here for good because the one thing universally true about tyrants, despots and dictators is that once they have taken power like Joe Biden has done here, protected as he is from the American people in his imperial city by 25,000 armed troops of proven loyalty to him personally, and battle tanks and razor wire, they never give it up, but keep on grasping for more and more until like Hitler they have throttled the life out of a nation.

And in response to the premise of G Anderson that Article II of OUR Constitution allows Joe Biden to declare himself a dictator who doesn’t need Congress for him to make laws and direct the expenditure of monies without Congressional oversight, I simply go back to the 1935 State of the Union address of FDR, and make the observation that if the premise of G Anderson that Article II of OUR Constitution allows Joe Biden to bypass Congress and make laws on his own, FDR certainly would have known about as well, and his 1935 State of the Union would never then have read thusly, to wit:

Let us for a moment strip from our simple purpose the confusion that results from a multiplicity of detail and from millions of written and spoken words.

We find our population suffering from old inequalities, little changed by past sporadic remedies.

In spite of our efforts and in spite of our talk we have not weeded out the overpriviledged (HILLARY Clinton) and we have not effectively lifted up the underpriviledged (disabled veterans such as myself).

Both of these manifestations of injustice have retarded happiness.

No wise man has any intention of destroying what is known as the “profit motive”, because by the profit motive we mean the right by work to earn a decent livelihood for ourselves and our families.

We have, however, a clear mandate from the people, that Americans must forswear that conception of the acquisition of wealth which, through excessive profits, creates undue private power over private affairs and, to our misfortune, over public affairs as well.

In building toward this end we do not destroy ambition, nor do we seek to divide our wealth into equal shares on stated occasions.

(Dividing our wealth into equal shares is what the equity of Joe Biden is all about)

We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others.

But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him and his a proper security, a reasonable leisure, and a decent living throughout life is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.

I recall to your attention my message to the Congress last June in which I said, “Among our objectives I place the security of the men, women, and children of the Nation first.”

That remains our first and continuing task: and in a very real sense every major legislative enactment of this Congress should be a component part of it.

Paul Plante says:

And since we are in the process of comparing what Joe Biden is attempting to do today, which is to bypass OUR written Constitution so as to install himself as a dictator with no accountability whatsoever to Congress or the Constitution, with what FDR actually did back in 1935, which was to work with Congress, let’s go back to the opening line of that address as follows:

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Constitution wisely provides that the Chief Executive shall report to the Congress on the state of the Union, for through you, the chosen legislative representatives, our citizens everywhere may fairly judge the progress of our governing.

end quotes

And right there is exactly what the dictator Joe Biden is tossing in the toilet when we read that President Joe Biden isn’t waiting for Congress to start enacting his policy agenda, the idea that the Constitution wisely provides that the Chief Executive shall report to the Congress on the state of the Union, for through the chosen legislative representatives, WE, THE PEOPLE who aren’t card-carrying Democrats or sworn adherents of Joe Biden may fairly judge the progress of their governing.

“**** Congress and **** the American people,” says dictator Joe, “I’m the big boss of things in America now and what I say goes, or else!”

And that takes us back to 1935 and FDR, as follows:

As the various parts in the program begun in the extraordinary session of the Seventy-third Congress shape themselves in practical administration, the unity of our program reveals itself to the nation.

end quotes

Now, it can safely be said that FDR was faced with as much of a “crisis” then as Joe Biden thinks he is today, but did FDR declare himself a dictator like Joe Biden who can forsake Congress when he feels like making some laws of his own?

Not hardly is that answer, as we can see by going back to 1935, as follows:

I am now ready to submit to the Congress a broad program designed ultimately to establish all three of these factors of security – a program which because of many lost years will take many future years to fulfill.

end quotes

In his turn, Joe Biden is simply side-stepping Congress to enact his own agenda.

Going back to 1935:

The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber.

To dole our relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.

It is inimical to the dictates of a sound policy.

It is in violation of the traditions of America.

Work must be found for able-bodied but destitute workers.

The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief.

I am not willing that the vitality of our people be further sapped by the giving of cash, of market baskets, of a few hours of weekly work cutting grass, raking leaves, or picking up papers in the public parks.

We must preserve not only the bodies of the unemployed from destitution but also their self-respect, their self-reliance, and courage and determination.

This decision brings me to the problem of what the Government should do with approximately 5,000,000 unemployed now on the relief rolls.

About one million and a half of these belong to the group which in the past was dependent upon local welfare efforts.

Most of them are unable for one reason or another to maintain themselves independently – for the most part, through no fault of their own.

Such people, in the days before the great depression, were cared for by local effort – by States, by counties, by towns, by cities, by churches, and by private welfare agencies.

It is my thought that in the future they must be cared for as they were before.

end quotes

So what does Joe Biden propose today?

Put the whole nation on the dole?

Stay tuned!
