\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0An important essay by constitutional attorney and author, John W. Whitehead, was published on May 7, 2019. It\u2019s entitled D Is for a Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy and is available on his Rutherford Institute’s\u00a0site.[1]<\/a>\u00a0Here is an excerpt:<\/p>\n John W. Whitehead, Esq.<\/p><\/div>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Free speech, the right to protest, the right to challenge government wrongdoing, due process, a presumption of innocence, the right to self-defense, accountability and transparency in government, privacy, press, sovereignty, assembly, bodily integrity, representative government: all of these and more have become casualties in the government\u2019s war on the American people.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The American people have been treated like enemy combatants, to be spied on, tracked, scanned, frisked, searched, subjected to all manner of intrusions, intimidated, invaded, raided, manhandled, censored, silenced, shot at, locked up, and denied due process.<\/p>\n None of these dangers have dissipated.<\/p>\n They have merely disappeared from our televised news streams.<\/p>\n The new boss has proven to be the same as the old boss, and the American people, the permanent underclass in America, has allowed itself to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State.<\/p>\n Frankly, it really doesn\u2019t matter what you call the old\/new boss\u2014the Deep State, the Controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex\u2014so long as you understand that no matter who occupies the White House, it is a profit-driven, an unelected bureaucracy that is actually calling the shots.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0While I take exception to Mr. Whitehead\u2019s \u201cnew boss has proven to be the same as the old boss\u201d cynicism, his words speak an eerie truth when we consider, for example, the FBI\u2019s overkill raid on Roger Stone, or the legal-paradox-box-maze to which patriot General Flynn was subjected. Yes, I take exception to hideous examples such as these being foisted onto our current president. Indeed, I\u2019d call these \u201ctrenchantly portrayed ops by an antagonistic Deep State\u201d; they depict the subverted state in action\u2014an out-of-control, bureaucratic, administrative (deep) state and the very\u00a0antithesis<\/em>\u00a0of who President Trump is and what he stands for.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Read Mr. Whitehead\u2019s fine essay and weep, for it catalogues in a nutshell the grotesque stagecraft that passes for normalcy; that provides the gloss for a sham republic, as disconnected from its constitutional underpinnings as it is divorced from the rule of law.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I wonder whether Mr. Whitehead, in his zeal to protect both his victimized clients and our Bill of Rights, has over-reached by conflating the Deep State with this president. In the normal state of affairs, wherein the president is chosen by an \u201cunseen hand\u201d and essentially selected, not elected, I would agree. (Just look at these prior pathetic American presidents\u2014Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Carter: actors all.) But the usual alliance between Deep State and the president does not exist in Mr. Trump\u2019s case. To John W. Whitehead I\u2019d say: \u201cNot\u00a0this<\/em>\u00a0president\u201d\u2014though Mr. Trump is very much the law and order president.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The cryptic difference, the base enigma here is that indeed we currently have a sham republic, but one that is being steered back onto its moorings. Without getting too far out into the weeds, let me explain.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pres. Trump has done a masterful job of managing this dual-track, schizoid nation. It must require an almost superhuman effort to withstand the constant assault of negative forces aligned against him, while balancing the interests of a fictionalized USA with its fa\u00e7ade of struggling, constitutional Republic\u2014and he must have some heavy-duty back-up to stay alive and keep at it the way he does.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Trump\u2019s work is a heroic undertaking of an almost impossible task, viz., re-aligning the nation under the rule of law while that nation is unbound from its lawful moorings (thanks to an elitist, globalist\/socialist cabal that\u2019s been systematically dismantling \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d by pre-planned degrees since its inception). The particular genius of Trump is his ability to (apparently) bifurcate his love of an idealized America the Beautiful from USA, Inc., and yet do everything within his power to have USA, Inc. serve a long-term, endpoint attempt of restoring itself back to the Republic-as-originally-designed.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In this respect, the work of our 45th president has established a new mythological standard\u2014Trumpian\u2014which perhaps surpasses the Herculean one of past ages. By these words, however, this author is not,\u00a0willy-nilly,\u00a0a sycophant condoning every act of the Trump administration. But taken as a whole,\u00a0I commend the Trumpian dynamism and vision, warts and all. He is the best and brightest leader we\u2019ve had in a very long time.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Listening to Donald Trump valorize law enforcement (e.g., calling for the death penalty for murdering a policeman) is a far cry from John W. Whitehead\u2019s A-Z litany of police transgressions resulting from a gutted U.S. Constitution. These two public figures seem to hold antagonistic, competing views of law enforcement.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Given Trump\u2019s interest in maintaining law and order in the midst of onslaughts from unhinged legislators, armed communist thugs, and their media enablers, I don\u2019t think the comparison is quite apt. Whitehead’s interest is in protecting John and Jane Q. Public from an uber-zealous police force acting as the enforcement arm of\u00a0USA, Inc.’s\u00a0\u201cnational security state gone wild.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Is it hard to delineate between criminals deserving of punishment\u00a0and innocent constituencies in need of protection? Not at all.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For this author, the bad guys are the enforcer thugs, viz., those fascist, \u201cpolitically correct,\u201d lefty morons who have been mass-produced by a debased university system, then\u00a0subsidized by socialist NGOs and justified\u00a0by radicalized Democrat apparatchiks; just as bad, however, are those fascist, \u201cpolitically expedient\u201d enforcers acting under color of law who abuse the God-given rights and sovereignty of the People.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The good guys are those who seek to live by the Golden Rule and the Rule of Law. Regardless of whether persons are acting in privately organized groups or as paid government employees, as long as they are acting on behalf of such \u201cgood guy interests\u201d then they, too, are good guys.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The apparent Trump\/Whitehead dichotomy withers in the face of this analysis. Each man has his overriding mandate: Trump, as the chief or unitary executive, is responsible for maintaining law and order; Whitehead, on the other hand,\u00a0is an attorney-author looking to preserve the safety and welfare of We the People. As such, each has his part to play in a national drama.\u00a0It’s essentially the regulatory law function of Trumpism v. the\u00a0emancipatory law function embraced by Whitehead<\/u>.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Trump, we must always remember, occupies a dual, schizoid role as CEO of USA, Inc. and as (the would-be) president of the United States of America, if the Republic was more viable at the moment(\u2014but give him four more years and we shall see!). It is because Trump must wear the CEO hat that he leans so heavily on the regulatory side of law and order.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Whitehead, too, must participate in a kind of charade that the U.S. Constitution has\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0been completely abrogated by (illegitimate) statutes. To the extent attorney Whitehead can find sympathetic judges whose rulings must hold up to public scrutiny he helps to resuscitate our trampled constitutional rights with each case he wins. Emancipation from the restraint of law’s regulatory properties belongs more properly in the domain of a constitutional republic, the persistent and resilient existence\u00a0of which\u00a0Mr. Whitehead presumes\u00a0as the premise of his work.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Both are dealing with the heroic-yet-schizophrenic task of saving the nation while holding it to account and guiding it toward its better manifestation: a constitutional republic operating under the rule of law. Each man deserves credit and our respect for doing the right thing (in a time during which \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d seems quaint at best and hopeless at worst).\u00a0Unlike many tepid and spineless Republicans out there, I offer my ardent support for President Trump and an abiding admiration for both these men and their efforts.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In closing I thank one other great American I\u2019ve long admired:<\/p>\n \u06de<\/p>\n Jack Suss a\/k\/a Wyman Wicket is a cultural mutant multi-career virtuoso (blues piano player and singer, writer\/poet, one-time military officer, lawyer, English professor, and Ph.D. in Humanities) \u2013 and a tireless poet-fighter against the \u201cglare\u201d of consensual reality and culture trance. Often believing that he is doomed to live the scruffy life of a bluesman, this hard-working creative loafer is now in semi-retirement from his string of seemingly unconnected endeavors.

President Donald J. Trump presides as the CEO of USA, Inc. And while \u201cUSA, Inc.\u201d is a euphemism for our lost republic, its incorporation is real; it is a fictional entity controlling a population of straw men and women that hides behind the fa\u00e7ade of a representational democracy. (Don\u2019t believe me?\u2014go research it for yourself.<\/span>[2]<\/a>) USA, Inc. limps along as a schizophrenic nation of dumbed-down populants presided over by<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>actor-politicians<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>activist-judges and a freakazoid m\u00e9lange of corporate\/military-intelligence operative\/media propagandists who give lip service to a (de facto superseded) Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2Ray.jpg\")
