ON THE WORSHIP OF DEMOCRACY AS STATE RELIGION

Post by thelivyjr »

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 8, 2021

Opinion: On the Worship of Democracy as our new State Religion


Special Opinion to the Mirror by Paul Plante

In his then-contemporary world history of what is known to history as the Interwar Period (1918–1939), the period between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War, also called the interbellum, titled World Wars And Revolutions copyrighted 1943, at p.152, the author, Walter Phelps Hall, PhD, of Princeton, informs us follows concerning “fascism,” to wit:

Fascism is an all-embracing doctrine which demands a one hundred percent surrender of the individual will in the name of mystical nationalism – with ends not clearly defined.

This nationalism is beyond good and evil, and thus is deified.

Therefore, fascism properly should be classed as a kind of religion like communism, the latter based on class-consciousness, the former on nationalism.

end quotes

Focus on those words, fascism properly should be classed as a kind of religion, and then focus in on these words from our own times here in the United States of America today, to wit:

It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today.

This temple to democracy was desecrated.

end quotes

Those are words that were uttered on 6 January 2021 in Democrat Charley “Chuck” Schumer’s Statement to the Senate on the Storming of the Capitol, where Schumer laid the blame for the rioting squarely on President Donald Trump, which is another subject for another thread, because my focus in here is on this dangerous “TEMPLE TO DEMOCRACY” horse****, which would imply that democracy is now a state religion in the United States of America the way fascism was a state religion in Nazi Germany, Charley “Chuck” Schumer was peddling to the members of the United States Senate at 10:06 P.M. on 6 January 2021 and again in a TWEET to the TWITTERATI on TWITTER, as follows:

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Aug 3

The Senate passed the bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Capitol Police and those who protected the Capitol against the January 6th insurrection.

I can’t imagine more worthy recipients than those who put their lives on the line to defend our temple of democracy.

end quotes

Now, first of all, there was no insurrection on 6 January 2021, but again, that is another subject for another day, because the focus in here is on this dangerous “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY” horse**** Charley “Chuck” is peddling, as if he were a religious leader here in America similar to an Ayatollah in Iraq or Iran, because the word “temple,” at least as us common Americans would understand it, means a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence.

So why then is Democrat Charley “Chuck” Schumer referring to the United States Capitol as a “temple,” meaning a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence?

So, what is it we are supposed to worship in the United States Capitol?

Democracy?

But how does one worship democracy?

On our knees?

Prostate (stretched out with face on the ground in adoration or submission) on the floor with our foreheads touching the floor?

Do we need a priest present?

Getting back to the word “temple,” Merriam-Webster defines “temple” as “a building for religious practice,” while Wikipedia has it as “(A) temple (from the Latin templum) is a building reserved for spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer and sacrifice,” so if the United States Capitol is now a “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY,” does that mean that democracy is now our state religion here in the United States of America that we are now required to worship?

And for more disturbing religious overtones, we have Charley “Chuck” telling us on 6 January 2021 that “(T)his temple to democracy was desecrated,” where the word “desecrated” means “treat a sacred place with violent disrespect; violate.”

So when and how did the United States Capitol become a sacred place?

And what kind of trouble will we get into with the “RELIGIOUS POLICE” if we do not buy into Charley “Chuck” Schumer’s poisonous horse**** about the United States Capitol being a “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY?”

Paul Plante says:

There is some real weird **** going down in this nation today with this literal RELIGIOUS CULT OF DEMOCRACY that is being pushed on us by HIGH PRIEST Charley “Chuck” Schumer and his fellow Democrats with this talk of the “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY” in reference to the Capitol building, which according to Wikipedia is not a temple, but instead is the meeting place of the United States Congress and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government, which is a secular government, that is all too reminiscent of Jim Jones and Jonestown, or David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, and that is something that should concern every single person in America.

Jim Jones, or James Warren Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978), was an American cult leader, mass murderer, political activist, preacher and faith healer who led the Peoples Temple, a new religious organization which existed between 1955 and 1978.

And now we have CULT LEADER Charley “Chuck” Schumer making our national capitol into another “People’s Temple” with disturbing religious overtones, when according to the U.S. Capitol Visitor’s Service, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., is a symbol of the American people and their government, the meeting place of the nation’s legislature.

As to religious cult leader Jim Jones, he and his inner circle orchestrated a mass murder–suicide in his remote jungle commune at Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978.

Jones founded the organization that would become the Peoples Temple in Indianapolis, in 1955.

Jones distinguished himself with his civil rights activism, founding the Temple as a fully integrated congregation.

In 1965, he moved the Temple to California, where the group established its headquarters in San Francisco and became heavily involved in left-wing politics through the 1970s, which is perhaps why Charley “Chuck” Schumer would find him an admirable example to model himself on as he fashions himself into an impassioned RELIGIOUS CULT LEADER for all who worship democracy as a state religion in America today.

As to David Koresh, born Vernon Wayne Howell; August 17, 1959 – April 19, 1993, like Democrat Charley “Chuck” Schumer and Jim Jones, he was also an American cult leader, who in his case played a central role in the Waco siege of 1993.

As the head of the Branch Davidians sect, an offshoot of the Davidian Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Koresh claimed to be its final prophet.

Coming from a dysfunctional background, Koresh was a member and later a leader of the Branch Davidians, a movement originally led by Benjamin Roden, based at the Mount Carmel Center outside Waco, Texas.

There, Koresh competed for dominance with another leader, Benjamin Roden’s son George, until Koresh and his followers took over Mount Carmel in 1987.

The younger Roden was then jailed for contempt of court in 1988, and later committed to a mental hospital in 1989 for murdering Wayman Dale Adair (a man who Roden claimed was sent by Koresh to kill him).

And yes, people, that all happened right here in the good old United States of America!

So do we need or do we want Charley “Chuck” Schumer, the HIGH PRIEST of the PEOPLE’S CHURCH OF DEMOCRACY, serving in the capacity of a national CULT LEADER here in America?

As to this “desecration” of the TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY Charley “Chuck” Schumer is on about, my thought is that we as a people and as a nation on the brink of another civil war again being forced on us by the Democrats, just like the last time, that we should pay some serious heed to the words of Virginia’s James Madison concerning “democracy” in FEDERALIST No. 10, “The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection,” from the New York Packet to the People of the State of New York on Friday, November 23, 1787, to wit:

From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction.

A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual.

Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.

Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.

end quotes

But what happened at the Capitol on 6 January 2021 makes it crystal clear that that never happened, and is not going to happen so long as we have politicians like Charley “Chuck” Schumer trying to turn democracy into a state religion.

Paul Plante says:

While we are on this subject of the worship of democracy as a new state religion here in the United States of America, according to Gallup, as of the week June 1‑18, 2021, 24% of the American people identified as Republicans, a clear minority, while 44%, which includes myself, identified as Independent, which is to say, not drinking the toxic KOOL-AID of either the Republicans or the Democrats, while 30%, or less than a third, identified as Democrats.

Is that important?

In the context of this thread it is, if seventy percent of the American people do not, like myself, buy into this “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY” horse**** HIGH PRIEST Charley “Chuck” Schumer is pushing on us, along with the ditzy and giddy Nancy Pelosi, who is drunk with power, and the publication The Hill as we saw in the story “Jan. 6 Committee will reconvene after Labor Day — Republicans should be scared” by Brad Bannon, a Democratic pollster and CEO of Bannon Communications Research who is also the host of a radio podcast “Deadline D.C. With Brad Bannon” that airs on the Progressive Voices Network, on 08/05/21, where we had from his Democrat pen, as follows:

The controversy over the composition of the special investigatory committee demonstrates House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) legislative genius.

Senate Republicans left their House colleagues high and dry when they killed the creation of a joint committee to investigate the attack.

That left the House in charge and House Republicans subject to the tender mercies of the speaker.

The House under Pelosi’s leadership voted to act alone, and the majority gave her the final say on the composition of the committee.

The speaker vetoed two of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) nominations, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.), who are ardent Trump acolytes.

At that point, the GOP Leader punted under pressure instead of going for a first down.

Instead of choosing replacements, he chose to withdraw GOP participation from the panel.

The speaker returned the kick quickly, saw the opening and ran right through it.

She already had used one of her choices to bring Trump antagonist Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on board.

She raised the stakes by adding another GOP critic of the 45th president, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

McCarthy’s decision to take his ball and go home created the best of both worlds for the Democrats.

The panel stayed bipartisan with two Republicans but there was no one left to defend Trump or the fanatics who assaulted the police and the Constitution in the sacred temple of American democracy.

end quotes

Now, as will be noticed, as a good Democrat, a true and fervent believer in the theory that DEMOCRACY, like FASCISM, is really a religion (the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods: a particular system of faith and worship; a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance as in “consumerism is the new religion”) he has managed to get the word “sacred” in there, as well, to further the religious overtones, where the word “sacred” means “connected with God (or the gods) or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration; religious rather than secular; embodying the laws or doctrines of a religion.

And in the article, he is clearly making it out as the classic struggle between good and evil, with the Democrats, of course, being on the side of good, and the Republicans pure evil, a theme the Democrats are going to be pushing hard on up until the 2022 congressional elections, or a historic and final battle between the light and the darkness, as if Charley “Chuck” Schumer was Mithra reborn, as we see by going back to that article in The Hill, to wit:

The GOP hopes to weaponize the rising crime rate against Democrats to win back control of Congress next year.

But memories of Trump enthusiasts attacking the Capitol police will become 30 second TV ad nightmares for Republican congressional candidates next fall.

The carnage and chaos from the Capitol coup could seriously undermine the party’s law and order image.

Trump admirers should also be concerned about the next stage of the committee deliberations because the police testimony this week was simply an appetizer for the main course to be served when the special panel reconvenes after Labor Day.

end quotes

Which takes us to Collins Dictionary where religion is defined as a belief in a god or gods and the activities that are connected with this belief, such as praying or worshipping in a building such as a church or temple, which definition should be expanded to include religion is the belief in Charley “Chuck” Schumer and Nancy Pelosi as gods in the sense that Augustus Caesar was considered by the Romans to be divine, and the activities that are connected with this belief, such as praying or worshipping in a building such as the U.S. Capitol, which is now a SACRED TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY, that the profane will soon be barred from entering.

And while we are on the subject of Charley “Chuck” Schumer and Nancy Pelosi being gods in their own right, another element in the Roman state religion was what is generally referred to as the imperial cult, which cult regarded emperors and members of their families as gods so that on his death, Julius Caesar was officially recognized as a god, the Divine (‘Divus’) Julius, by the Roman state, and his adopted son who became Augustus Caesar was believed by the Romans to be the son of Apollo himself, so that therefore Augustus was a son of god by Caesar’s adoption of him and divine begetting through being the son of Apollo.

So this weird **** about democracy as a state religion with the leaders as gods definitely has historical antecedents.

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 29, 2021 AT 8:46 PM

Paul Plante says:

And for another dose of this absolute weirdness now permeating its way through the nation which is associated with this concept of democracy now being our new state religion in the United States of America, let us go to an article in The Wrap entitled “Kevin McCarthy Accused of Trying to ‘Destabilize’ Democracy With Biden Afghanistan Criticism” by Alex Noble on 29 August 2021, where we have weirdness in spades dumped down upon us, as follows:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was accused Saturday by a former spokesperson for Republican lawmakers of wanting to plunge the U.S. into the type of crisis currently gripping Afghanistan with his constant attacks on President Biden.

end quotes

Now, is that an example of weirdness, or not, this idea being put forth here that with his constant attacks on President Biden, Kevin McCarthy wants to plunge the U.S. into the type of crisis currently gripping Afghanistan with his constant attacks on President Biden?

How on earth is the idea of holding Joe Biden accountable, something that really has never been done before in Joe’s life during the time he was a senator, going to turn the United States of America into another Afghanistan?

And the answer is that it isn’t going to, but it’s now a brave new world, people, and in this brave new world, questioning or criticizing Joe Biden is not allowed, because as we will see, it’s already undemocratic to even consider questioning the actions of Joe Biden, let alone actually doing it, and it is patently absurd to think that questioning Joe Biden is somehow going to turn this nation into another Afghanistan with the Taliban in charge, which takes us back to the weirdness in The Wrap, as follows:

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Weekends With Alex Witt” on Saturday, Kurt Bardella launched into a fiery tirade against McCarthy and other prominent conservatives who have chosen to forget the chaos of Donald Trump’s presidency.

“This isn’t the tested leadership the president promised.”

“It’s a picture of weakness and incompetence,” McCarthy said in a clip played by host Alex Witt.

“If you want to be president of the free world, you have to have the faith, the trust and the confidence of the American public.”

“President Biden lost that yesterday and there will be a day of reckoning.”

Witt asked Bardella for comment on the McCarthy’s remarks in the clip — and Bardella did not hold back.

“This is completely a party that’s made a concerted and dedicated effort to try to undermine democracy and it’s just par for the course,” Bardella charged.

end quotes

Undermine democracy?

Given that “democracy” is an idea, not an absolute, how on earth can democracy be undermined, which word means “lessen the effectiveness, power, or ability of, especially gradually or insidiously?”

For an answer to that question, consider this quote from Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee FRSE (15 October 1747 – 5 January 1813), a Scottish advocate, judge, writer and historian who served as Professor of Universal History, and Greek and Roman Antiquities at the University of Edinburgh, to wit:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.”

“It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.”

“From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”

end quotes

And exactly who was the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury in 2020 (see, Cape Charles Mirror Opinion: On Electoral Bribery in America http://www.capecharlesmirror.com/news/o ... n-america/ ) that the majority voted for in the 2020 election and who just got elected president here in the United States and is well on his way to becoming a de facto if not de jure dictator?

That would be Joe Biden, would it not?

So, if in fact democracy can be undermined, it would be Joe Biden who undermined it, not Kevin McCarthy, which takes us back to that article for more weirdness, as follows:

“Republicans have made the calculation that their only path to power is to try to destabilize a free democracy.”

end quotes

Their only path to power is to try to destabilize a “free” democracy?

What on earth then is a “free” democracy?

Is there such a thing as an “unfree” democracy?

Which thought takes us back to professor Tytler, as follows:

In his Lectures, Tytler expressed a critical view of democracy in general and representative democracies such as republics in particular, believing that “a pure democracy is a chimera”, and that “all government is essentially of the nature of a monarchy”.

In discussing the Athenian democracy, after noting that a great number of the population were actually enslaved, he went on to say, “Nor were the superior classes in the actual enjoyment of a rational liberty and independence.”

“They were perpetually divided into factions, which servilely ranked themselves under the banners of the contending demagogues; and these maintained their influence over their partisans by the most shameful corruption and bribery, of which the means were supplied alone by the plunder of the public money”.

end quotes

And that describes us, people, where we are politically in this nation right now, as the Democrats push us ever closer to another civil war like the one they started in the 1850s.

Speaking about the measure of freedom enjoyed by the people in a republic or democracy, Tytler wrote, “The people flatter themselves that they have the sovereign power.”

“These are, in fact, words without meaning.”

“It is true they elected governors; but how are these elections brought about?”

“In every instance of election by the mass of a people — through the influence of those governors themselves, and by means the most opposite to a free and disinterested choice, by the basest corruption and bribery.”

“But those governors once selected, where is the boasted freedom of the people?”

“They must submit to their rule and control, with the same abandonment of their natural liberty, the freedom of their will, and the command of their actions, as if they were under the rule of a monarch”.

Tytler dismissed the more optimistic vision of democracy by commentators such as Montesquieu as “nothing better than an Utopian theory, a splendid chimera, descriptive of a state of society that never did, and never could exist; a republic not of men, but of angels.”

Tytler believed that democratic forms of government such as those of Greece and Rome have a natural evolution from initial virtue toward eventual corruption and decline.

In Greece, for example, Tytler argues that “the patriotic spirit and love of ingenious freedom … became gradually corrupted as the nation advanced in power and splendour”.

So if democracy can in fact be “undermined,” who does that undermining?

It would have to be the people themselves, would it not?

Or can Kevin McCarthy somehow undermine democracy all by himself in a nation of some 330 million souls, ninety or a hundred million of whom voted for Joe Biden and the largesse from the public treasury he was promising as a reward for electing him?

Sounds awful silly, doesn’t it?

Getting back to that article, we have:

“You want to talk about incompetence?”

“Time and again we’ve seen incompetence, destruction, anti-Democratic values and Republicans had nothing to say about it.”

“Republicans defended it.”

“So now for them to try to suggest in any way that Joe Biden fits in that category is ridiculous.”

Bardella went on to allege that, if Republicans take back Congress, we’re going to get two more years of “trying to impeach Joe Biden” and trying to “undermine democracy.”

He concluded, “What’s going on in Afghanistan will happen right here in America if Republicans have their way.”

end quotes

HUH?

What’s going on in Afghanistan right now has absolutely nothing to do with Kevin McCarthy, who in actuality has no political power whatsoever in this literal RELIGIOUS CULT OF DEMOCRACY that is being pushed on us by HIGH PRIEST Charley “Chuck” Schumer and his fellow Democrats with this talk of the “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY” in reference to the Capitol building, and everything to do with Joe Biden, who happens right now to be the man in charge.

So that is crazy talk, people, simply crazy talk, but that is where we are in this nation right now – nothing but crazy talk for our national political discussion and debate!

And promises of even more largesse from the public treasury and more loose fiscal policy!

So who is undermining democracy, then?

Kevin McCarthy?

Or those people in America who put Joe Biden into the white house?

Paul Plante says:

And as we continue to ponder this literal RELIGIOUS CULT OF DEMOCRACY that is being pushed on us by HIGH PRIEST Charley “Chuck” Schumer and his fellow Democrats with this talk of the “TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY” in reference to the Capitol building, let’s go to a Newsweek article entitled “China Tells U.S. to Stop Peddling Its Values to the World After Afghanistan Failure” by John Feng on 2 September 2021 for a candid look at how the rest of the world, or at least China, looks at our DEMOCRAT PARTY CULT OF DEMOCRACY, as follows:

China told the United States to reflect on the words of Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Thursday and stop peddling American ideology and values to the rest of the world following the debacle of Afghanistan.

end quotes

And here it needs to be said that it is not WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE who are peddling American ideology and values to the rest of the world!

That is those Democrat fools in Washington, D.C., which is not a part of the United States of America, and they are speaking only for themselves, because their values and ideology are not “American” at all, by any stretch of the imagination, which takes us back to the article as follows:

The Russian president said that U.S. attempts to “civilize” Afghan citizens by introducing American norms and standards into their politics and way of life ended in “sheer tragedies, sheer losses” for both sides and achieved a “zero result, if not negative.”

end quotes

And as much as people in this country like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton might hate the dude, can anyone argue with Putin in this case and say he is wrong?

Consider Guatemala, which we hear so much about today.

Does anyone remember that it was us back in the fifties who interfered in their internal affairs to maintain our hegemony in the Western Hemisphere in 1954 by removing its elected president, Jacobo Arbenz, on the premise that he was soft on communism, that on behalf of the business interests of the United Fruit Company, and set them on the path that has taken them to today and the refugee crisis at the southern border that neither Joe Biden nor his bumbling vice president Karmela Harris, who is maintaining a very low profile these days, are able to deal with?

Getting back to that article, it goes on as follows:

“President Putin’s view should provoke some reflection in the U.S.,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference in Beijing.

end quotes

There are a ton of things that should provoke some reflection in this country, but they won’t, because people in Washington. D.C. are so arrogant and puffed up with all their power that they believe intrinsically that what they do at any moment is, like Democrat Hussein Obama always used to say, and Karmela Harris says it now, it is the right thing to do, because people in Washington. D.C. are never wrong, about anything, so they have no need to reflect, other than on their own glory, which again takes us back to that article, to wit:

He repeated a recently popular line out of Beijing, suggesting the West’s description of democracy wasn’t the only working definition in the world.

end quotes

And how that will have the POPE OF THE CHURCH OF DEMOCRACY, Charley “Chuck” Schumer, howling and mewling and screaming – “that’s not so, that’s not so, our democracy, which is a pure and sacred democracy, is the only democracy there is or can be on the face of this earth!”

Getting back to the Chinese, we have:

Chinese leaders have sought to promote the country’s own version of democracy and human rights as an alternative.

“There isn’t one fixed form of democracy in the world,” said Wang.

“Every country is entitled to independently explore paths of development that suit their national conditions and realities.”

The example of Afghanistan, he added, shows that attempts to “transplant” and force a democratic model on others will only “create chaos and instability, ultimately resulting in failure.”

Wang said democracy: “Is not a patent held by select countries.”

“There is no ‘leader of democracy’ in the world, nor does any country have the right to lecture others on democracy,” he added.

The official described the concepts of “an alliance of democracies” and “democracy versus authoritarianism” as “hegemony in disguise.”

“We hope the U.S. earnestly reflects upon the lessons learned and stops peddling its own ideology and values to others,” he said.

January 6 House Select Committee Hearing Investigation Day 1 Full Transcript

Chairman Thompson: A quorum being present, the select committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol will be in order.

The select committee is meeting today to receive testimony on the law enforcement experience on January 6th.

Chair recognizes the general lady from Florida, Mrs. Murphy for five minutes.

Mrs. Murphy: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to the witnesses for your testimony today, for your bravery on January 6th and for your service to our country.

January 6th was an attack on our democracy, it was an attack on the peaceful transfer of power, and it was an attack on this Capitol building, but it was also an attack on real people.

I think without you, what would have been a terrible and what was a terrible and tragic day, would have been even more terrible and more tragic.

What were you fighting for that day?

Officer Hodges: Democracy.

You were 40 feet away, 40 yards, whatever.

Especially with razor thin margins on Democrats and Republicans in the house and Senate, if any single one person was kidnapped or killed, which I have no doubt in my mind is what they intended, that would affect the outcome of legislation and all your duties for years to come.

And if that’s just one person, what if more than one person?

The difference would be even greater than what should be and will be.

So it was for democracy, it was for the men and women of the house and Senate, it was for each other, and it was for the future of the country.

Mrs. Murphy: Thank you, Officer Hodges and thank you all for defending democracy.

Paul Plante says:

Did nobody out there, starting with that toothless old watchdog of our liberties, the asleep-at-the-switch main-stream media, catch what was going on in that exchange at the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS hearing on 27 July 2021?

This Officer Hodges, who told the WITCH HUNTERS including Virginia’s own Elaine Luria, that he was “fighting” for “Democracy” on 6 January 2021, is a sworn police officer, a member of the civil disturbance unit 42 in the DC Metropolitan Police Department, where his responsibilities include riot response.

So what is up with these partisan political comments of his to the assembled Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS on 27 July 2021, to wit:

Especially with razor thin margins on Democrats and Republicans in the house and Senate, if any single one person was kidnapped or killed, which I have no doubt in my mind is what they intended, that would affect the outcome of legislation and all your duties for years to come.

And if that’s just one person, what if more than one person?

The difference would be even greater than what should be and will be.

end quote

Why is a sworn police officer giving obviously biased testimony to the WITCH HUNTERS concerning the “razor thin margins on Democrats and Republicans in the house and Senate?”

Why is a sworn police officer concerned with the razor thin margins on Democrats and Republicans in the house and Senate?

Is that the business of the DC Metropolitan Police Department, to be counting up and keeping a tally of the numbers of Democrats, who he obviously favors, to the number of Republicans in the House and Senate?

And what about this statement of his to the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS, to wit:

“The difference would be even greater than what should be and will be.”

Did nobody catch the significance of what he is saying there?

Isn’t he saying that the Democrats should always be the majority in our one-party system and will in fact be if he and the DC Metropolitan Police Department have any say in the matter, which he clearly does here with his pro-Democrat party testimony?

And if anyone out there is naive enough to believe that these Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS/INQUISITORS in this RELIGIOUS CULT OF DEMOCRACY being pushed on us by the Democrats are not a clear and present danger to our collective liberties as citizens of a nation that is supposed to be governed by RULE OF LAW, where those accused of serious crimes are supposed to be afforded DUE PROCESS OF LAW, which carries with it a presumption of innocence until guilt is PROVEN, let us return to 27 July 2021 hearing of the WITCH HUNTERS where we had one of the Popes of the new national religion, that being Jamie Raskin, a Democrat constitutional scholar, who serves the Democrats as an INQUISITOR, and who was the failed Democrat impeachment manager in the second Senate impeachment trial of Trump for an insurrection that never happened, given that neither the Democrats nor Justice Department have found NO EVIDENCE to date to support serious criminal charges of insurrection, testifying on the record as follows:

Mr. Chairman: The Chair recognizes a gentleman from Maryland, Mr. Raskin.

Mr. Raskin: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Sergeant Gonell, Officer Fanone, Officer Hodges, Officer Dunn.

You are great law enforcement officers and a hero to law enforcement officers across the country.

You’re great public servants and [inaudible] public servants across the country, but you are great Americans and you are heroes to all of America.

And long after you are gone, you will be remembered as heroes to our country, along with your fellow officers, and those who attacked you, and those who beat you are fascist traitors to our country and will be remembered forever as fascist traitors.

end quotes

Fascist traitors?

HUH?

Where on earth did that accusation come from?

We now have FASCIST TRAITORS to our country who will be remembered forever as fascist traitors?

Where is the evidence to support that charge?

OH!

Sorry!

I keep forgetting here that we are dealing with DEMOCRATS who are rigging the system to take over OUR nation and impose single-party rule on us, and the one thing a Democrat has never had need for is evidence.

It is enough for them to say something happened, whether it did or not is totally immaterial, and to say someone is guilty of some crime, whether or not that is factually true, and because a Democrat said someone is guilty of being a FASCIST TRAITOR, a serious charge indeed, that’s it, period – they are a FASCIST TRAITOR, and that is all that is needed.

Having a trial to prove what the Democrat said was true is therefore a waste of time and government resources, and there we all are now, people!

Welcome to the NEW WORLD ORDER!

First they came for the REPUBLICANS, and I did not speak out—because I was not a REPUBLICAN.

Then they came for the rest of us who weren’t Democrats — and there was no one left to speak for us.

Only the Democrats were left!

January 6 House Select Committee Hearing Investigation Day 1 Full Transcript

Chairman Thompson: Chair recognizes gentle lady from Virginia, Ms. Luria.

Elaine Luria: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

And I want to say to the four Officers here today that I’m grateful for your service, for you sharing your stories, for your willingness to speak to the members of this committee and to the American people about the horrific things that you experienced on January 6th, truly experienced in defense of our democracy.

Officer Fanone, I wanted to turn to you.

And when you hear the rioters chanting things in this video, things like, “F the blue.”

“You can’t even call yourself an American.”

“You’re on the wrong side of freedom.”

Can you share how that makes you feel?

Officer Fanone: To me, those individuals are representative of the worst that America has to offer.

Elaine Luria: Thank you, and thinking about the events that happened on January 6th and thinking about what led up to that day, I was reminded of a quote, a quote that I frequently heard used from Hemingway that asks, how do these things happen?

How do things like this happen?

And that quote, it’s very short, it just says, “Gradually, and then suddenly.”

And I think that our founders understood that our Republic was very fragile and it would be tested.

And it was tested here on January 6th.

So that’s the task before this committee.

I’m sure that will be attacked by cowards, by those in the arena.

Those only in the stands, and that we’ll be attacked by people who are more concerned about their own power than about the good of this country.

But my oath, your oath, all of our oaths here today to protect and defend The Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic will be our guiding light for this investigation.

And as Officer Dunn said earlier, you said, “We can never again allow our democracy to be put in peril.”

So I will say that we will persevere.

We will do what is right.

Your actions on January 6th could very well have been what saved our democracy.
