They have finally found something they can indict President Donald Trump on. Apparently 34 somethings, which makes for great headlines.<\/p>\n<p>The usual suspects have been thrown their chum \u2014 both TDS patients and MAGAtards. The social media war is now in full swing. And, frankly, it couldn\u2019t be more tiresome.<\/p>\n<p>A few get why this is so inane but most are focused (or being focused) on the wrong thing, as always.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jonathanturley.org\/2023\/03\/31\/the-trump-indictment-making-history-in-the-worst-possible-way\/\">Jonathan Turley has a good rundown<\/a>\u00a0of the questionable legality of this case. But, again, while he\u2019s not wrong to focus on that and the shady politics, he also misses the larger implications of this indictment.<\/p>\n<p>This is a case so legally tenuous that even the Federal Government, famous for being able to convict a ham sandwich, wouldn\u2019t touch it with a 10-foot pole.<\/p>\n<p>Because indicting Trump for any of these petty things is nothing less than the end of politics and a declaration of civil war.<\/p>\n<p><em>Davos<\/em>\u00a0through the Democrats have been running a culture war for decades to stamp out the past. It is quite Leninist. Turley and others have focused on it\u2019s \u2018just not done\u2019 to indict a President, especially something as irrelevant as paying hush money to Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n<p>But, \u2018just not done\u2019 is exactly the thing being indicted here, not Trump. Trump is just the fulcrum on which all of this rests.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the politics of envy taken to its ultimate conclusion. Racism, sexism, ageism, transphobia, LGBTQT+BBQ Sauce rights are all the same political position. They are all about tearing down the old institutional order.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been going on for generations, invading male spaces like Augusta National, forcing female reporters in locker rooms, endlessly arguing the wage gap between men and women.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these same people can no longer even define the women whose rights they fight for.<\/p>\n<p>Is the latest term \u2018people who menstruate,\u2019 or is that just so last week?<\/p>\n<p>I thought I was supposed to still wear my mask in my electric car to fight for the rights of Ukrainian men to get pregnant while fighting for freedumb from Putler!<\/p>\n<p>So forgive me if I\u2019m a little confused.<\/p>\n<p>This is a perspective that reduces society to whatever we did before was wrong. Progress in the minds of religious puritan Progressives is a never-ending battle against sin. Yesterday is forever evil while Tomorrow holds the promise of heaven on earth.<\/p>\n<p>In the South we just call these people Yankees and go back to eating our barbeque and playing with our kids.<\/p>\n<p>That sin is stratification as a result of rewarding merit. But what is merit to people who view all profit as exploitation?<\/p>\n<p>You can answer that however you wish, but by their actions it\u2019s clear they believe merit is stealing.<\/p>\n<p>This is why \u201cyou didn\u2019t build that,\u201d you \u201cbasket of deplorables.\u2019 Anything you have earned can and should be taken from you for wrongthink.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what\u2019s at the heart of this Trump indictment. Trump is the distillation of everything they need to tear down to validate their envy. He\u2019s white, male, politically connected, a little corrupt, very cheesy and the antithesis of what middle-class bicoastal midwits believe they should be.<\/p>\n<p>Successful.<\/p>\n<p>They hate Trump not because he\u2019s successful but because our society allowed for him to become successful.<\/p>\n<p>To the progressive midwit, any society that allows a man like Donald Trump to rise like he did needs to be destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Is it really any different than the teenager who rebels to become an atheist because s\/h\/ze finally asked how can a god allow such evil in the world to exist if he has the power to stop it?<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention these people have the epistemology of weevils?<\/p>\n<p>Again, in the South we say, \u201cSome people just need killin&#8217;\u201d Well, to the puritan mind, \u201cSome societies just need killin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Trump\u2019s indictment signals the end of politics as we believed it operated. The key word there was \u2018believed.\u2019 We are dealing with people who see those that disagree with them as irredeemable.<\/p>\n<p>You voted for Trump? Twice? Burn in hell you fascist!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the only time most of these people want guns to exist.<\/p>\n<p>Civilization rests on the fantasy that there is a shared acceptance of the rules on which it operates. Americans are both immensely cynical and na\u00efve about politics in this sense. We all know politicians are lying when their lips are moving but we also believe in the myth that the American system of justice will get the right answer often enough to keep the lights on.<\/p>\n<p>Today that\u2019s a very big assumption.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The End of Clausewitz<\/h2>\n<p>Carl von Clausewitz is very famous for saying that war is politics by other means. He\u2019s so famous for it that he\u2019s become a part of speech, Clausewitzian. It\u2019s a short-hand for this idea.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that the greatest writers are ones who achieve this, dare I say it, merit badge. So, today this indictment of Trump is at once, Phildickian, Kafkaesque, Clausewitzian and Hitlerian.<\/p>\n<p>Phildickian because it feels like we live in some alternate America.<\/p>\n<p>Kafkaesque because Trump is being indicted for a crime we can barely define.<\/p>\n<p>Hitlerian because its clearly tyrannical to shut down political opponents<\/p>\n<p>And Clausewitzian because the indictment isn\u2019t about politics but a much broader war.<\/p>\n<p><em>Davos\u00a0<\/em>is at war with humanity through undermining the institutions of civilization itself. They will not be stopped in their quest to secure global control over humanity. They have stoked an animus against Trump in the minds of people like Nancy Pelosi that can only end in fire and violence.<\/p>\n<p>They know that the 2024 election is where all their dreams come together. They need another\u00a0<em>Davosian\u00a0<\/em>quisling in the White House to counter what\u2019s happening with the Federal Reserve\u2019s hawkish policy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Davos\u00a0<\/em>has control over the political and monetary policies of Europe. It lost political control over the UK and got it back and will reverse Brexit. That\u2019s brought the Bank of England back in line. However, it is very clear at this point they do not control the Fed.<\/p>\n<p>So, they have political control until January 2025 in the US, but do not have monetary control over the Fed until 2026, when Powell\u2019s second term is done. This is the window for US patriots to win this civil war before it even begins in earnest.<\/p>\n<p>Powell\u2019s tight monetary policy will be the Democrats\u2019 main talking point for 2024. \u201cThe GOP and the Fed are the reason you are broke. They cost you your job, the dream of a new house.\u201d We need more free money to help the poor.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you\u2019re sick of Elizabeth Warren now, just wait.<\/p>\n<p>I have to hand it to these guys, they\u2019ve turned the libertarians into their biggest water carriers by turning \u201cEnd the Fed\u201d into a strategic asset on the battlefield. With neither monetary nor political control over the US, there can be no 21st century version of V-E Day. It\u2019s bad enough that the Global South has rebelled.<\/p>\n<p><em>Davos\u00a0<\/em>knows this is it for them. 2024 in the US or bust. George Soros said as much at Munich this year. This is why Trump needs to be indicted even though the case is legally illiterate.<\/p>\n<p>Look, the conservative commentators who think that indicting Trump will only improve his chances of winning the election are wrong. It doesn\u2019t matter that he can run for office from jail.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think a GOP run by Cocaine Mitch McConnell will have the balls to defy their Uniparty paymasters and nominate Donald Trump from prison?<\/p>\n<p>Trump will not be allowed to run.<\/p>\n<p>Because of all the words spilled about this so far only\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/international-news\/rule-of-law\/trump-likely-gag-order-to-create-imprisonment\/\">Martin Armstrong has come close to the truth<\/a>\u00a0of what the real strategy is.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Bragg will most likely seek a Gag Order in addition to a denial of bail, which no matter how ruthless the judge, will probably realize he cannot deny bail to a former President. Still, they will most likely put a Gag Order on Trump, and that way they can throw him in jail even indefinitely as they did to me using Civil Contempt of Court which is not a crime. If they charge him with Criminal Contempt, then he gets a trial by jury. Under Civil Contempt, you have ZERO rights and no right to a trial.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If this was coming from anyone other than Martin Armstrong I would dismiss it out of hand. Maybe Marty is being paranoid. I hope he is.<\/p>\n<p>In your heart of hearts do you really think that? I don\u2019t. Because this is being driven by people who everyday maneuver the world into a potential nuclear exchange with Russia over its right to exist as a country.<\/p>\n<p>Tell me, after everything you\u2019ve seen them do over COVID-19, they wouldn\u2019t relish the opportunity to put a gag order on Trump.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the only thing still animating most of these walking dead in D.C. for fuck\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>They kept me in prison on Civil Contempt from 2000 to 2007. I was released\u00a0<strong>ONLY<\/strong>\u00a0because I got to the Supreme Court and they ordered the government to explain how I could be held for 7 years without anything on statute 28 USC 1826 which had a maximum of 18 months. To avoid having to answer, they suddenly released me.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So forget the payment to a Porn Star<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>They can now gag trump, restrict his movements, and harass him to\u00a0<strong>PREVENT<\/strong>\u00a0him from running in 2024. They will listen to every word he says and are just going to wait to be able to throw him in prison on Civil Contempt indefinitely with\u00a0<strong>ZERO<\/strong>\u00a0Constitutional Rights. Welcome to the\u00a0<strong>REAL<\/strong>\u00a0America. They call it a \u201cprotective order\u201d to protect the Government and Bragg as you are stripped of ALL your\u00a0<strong>First Amendment<\/strong>\u00a0rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, for Trump, if Bragg tried to pull this, his case would be fast-tracked publicly up to the Supreme Court. And then it gets interesting. Do you think Trump would be exonerated with this court? Under these circumstances? The current pressure?<\/p>\n<p>Or do you expect them to do what they did with the election, refuse to hear the case because of \u2018a lack of standing\u2019 like they did over the 2020 election, when they clearly had the authority to hear the cases.<\/p>\n<p>Last I checked John Roberts was still in charge up there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tomluongo.me\/2021\/11\/27\/being-thankful-path-victory-over-davos\/\">Eighteen months ago I was thankful\u00a0<\/a>for all of\u00a0<em>Davos\u2019<\/em>\u00a0insane over-reactions, pathetic narratives, and unsustainable lies.
