The events of the last few years have confirmed that we are no longer a democracy in the sense that we once thought we were – and I know we’re a republic, but follow along with me. The premise of a democracy is that individual citizens can participate in the political process by making their positions known and voting for representatives who they understand will support their views. But those components are under attack here and throughout the West. They are under attack because our garbage elite considers our participation in our own governance to be both morally illegitimate and a practical nuisance. As a result, the elite is doing everything it can to prevent us from participating in our own governance. It’s intent to make us into serfs, disarmed, disenfranchised serfs who obey in silence.
After all, when citizens participate in their own governance, they may choose policies that the elite dislikes. And the elite doesn’t like the policies normal people prefer. Part of it is profit and power, and part of it is the elite’s moral grandstanding – don’t underestimate the power of politics to make spiritually empty people such as our trash ruling class feel good about themselves. The elite don’t like competition from the peasants. It cuts into their action and is generally inconvenient.
What does the elite want? Power. It wants unquestioned power over us that is not subject to any limitations by dissent or appeals to the law. Why do you think they hate the Supreme Court so much? SCOTUS gets in their way when it enforces our rights. Why do you think they hate the Electoral College so much? Because it makes it harder for them to leverage their kept constituencies to take the presidency.
The elite wants what we’re now getting: an administrative state where experts who just happen to share all the priorities and prejudices of the elite make all the decisions. Do you wonder why the left is so concerned about controlling academia? Because that’s where experts are made, and you don’t get expert certification unless you embrace the elite’s ideology. Do you think it’s a coincidence that they’re demanding DEI loyalty oaths from graduate students and professors? You must listen to experts, they tell us, and by the way, we get to decide who the experts are. Check out conservative stalwart Ned Ryun’s new book, “American Leviathan: The Birth of the Administrative State and Progressive Authoritarianism,” which I read and gave him notes on in an early draft. Ned details exactly what’s going on here – the creation of an extra-constitutional fourth branch of government that effectively disintermediates citizens from any decision-making and controls every aspect of their lives without being subjected to any sort of accountability. That is the exact opposite of democracy, but it is part and parcel of Our Democracy that the ironically named Democrats embrace. Remember that when they say “Our Democracy,” they mean “ours,” as in “theirs.”
But it’s more than just creating formal structures to separate the people from power. The elite also takes formal and informal actions to stop people from participating in their own governance. They use formal power in formerly free places like the UK a lot, where they will put you in jail because of saying unapproved things. Their new fascist ruler, Keir Starmer, is openly celebrating how he’s releasing real criminals to make room for people who say things the regime doesn’t like. Putting aside the whole issue of why we have a special relationship with a country that differs from Putin only in the degree of repression, we need to recognize that this disgusting tyranny has happened here too. There’s a guy in jail right now for making an Internet joke about Hillary Clinton. She just advocated jailing people who spread “misinformation” – guess who gets to define that? There are hundreds of Americans being wrongfully persecuted over January 6. And they are trying to throw the man most Americans appear to want to be their next president in jail for the rest of his life on bogus charges before the biased venues when they are not trying to murder him.
But most of what the elite does in America to silence dissent is still informal. It uses shame, coercion, and selective reporting to prevent normal people from seeing the outrages perpetrated by our garbage elite and, therefore, being outraged by them. Look at the whole Springfield eating dogs and cats thing.
The elite, without the consent of the people in the community, dropped 20,000 Haitians directly from a Third World hellhole into a town of about 60,000 normal Americans. Not surprisingly, the effects were dramatic, especially when our government is directly and indirectly subsidizing these aliens. You have crime, social services stretched to the breaking point, chaotic schools, housing shortages, and unlicensed drivers smashing into people’s cars (which is a huge deal for people without a lot of money). Not surprisingly, the locals are unhappy about it. They are complaining. And, according to the elite, that must be stopped. That’s where the informal oppression comes in.
First, they shame the Americans who raise their voices, calling them racist for daring to point out how their community has changed and not in ways that they like. Then pinko pastors from the pipe up about how Jesus said you’ve got to invite the whole Third World into your backyard (Spoiler: He didn’t). Then they’re called liars. Then, when they still won’t shut up, the left cites fake claims of bomb threats to invoke a heckler’s veto to silence the uppity proles – this is literally laundering foreign disinformation.
Note that this fake concern about fake rhetoric doesn’t apply to Donald Trump, who was shot in the head a couple of months ago because of being demonized for the last eight years by these very same jerks. Oh, and then another Harris-Walz voter tried to kill him last weekend. Do not think they do not intend this foreseeable consequence of their rhetoric.
They want to put commenting on elite abuse of towns like Springfield – and all of America – off-limits. They do not care about real Americans. They hate real Americans for being uppity. Never once does the elite, through its regime media lapdogs, ever deign to explore the legitimate concerns of the people impacted by the elite’s unilateral decision to change the community overnight for the worse. They simply declare that expressing dissatisfaction with the effects of massive immigration is illegitimate. You can’t talk about it. Everything is about how if you complain, you are racist or nitpicking about whether the pet-munching migrants are eating cats or geese as if it matters.
The objective is the same. The elite wants to make it impossible for normal people to complain and, therefore, to have the potential to assert their will. They do the same thing with parents addressing school boards about perverted books or about delusional boys pretending to be girls hanging out in the girls’ locker rooms. You’re not allowed to mention these subjects because that makes you a bad person, regardless of the merits of the objection. And that’s a problem in an actual democracy, where the right to petition for the redress of grievances is pretty central to the whole idea.
So is understanding what your elected officials stand for. After all, what’s the purpose of voting if you don’t know what the person you’re voting for actually intends to do? But this cycle, Kamala Harris has basically been an abstract art installation that everybody looks at and is supposed to get their own idea about what her policies are. The regime media certainly doesn’t press her on it. You saw the fact-checking on Donald Trump – fact-checking that was, in fact, unfactual. But where were the questions to Harris? What about the whopper that there are no Americans currently in combat zones? Nada. Zip. Nothing. The hack moderators never pressed her on it, nor did that Pennsylvania interviewer who asked her what she wanted to do about the economy ever press her when she went into a long segue about people’s lawns. You can’t have a government where the governed are expected to vote for people who never tell them what they stand for. In a truly free country, politicians must make their positions known. Here, the regime media understands that Kamala Harris has positions that are repellent to normal people, so it helps her hide them. We get vibes instead. She’s so brat, and they call anybody who objects “Hitler.”
The elite couldn’t do this without the connivance of the regime media, which is a garbage institution that we should do everything morally and legally possible to destroy. Check out the great Michael Walsh’s new book “Against the Corporate Media: Forty-two Ways the Press Hates You,” which has chapters by your favorite conservative thinkers like Larry O’Connor, Dr. Seb Gorka, and me. It demonstrates how the regime media is key to enforcing the informal guard rails that keep discussion firmly within the narrow confines of what the elite deems acceptable. These collaborators also hide the formal tyrannical acts of the government, and when the acts are exposed, to cheerlead for them.
So, we know what our enemy is doing. The question is whether we can do anything about it. We can. We need to understand and accept what’s happening and act accordingly. The establishment has the advantage that normal people default into thinking that everything is the same as it always was, that things are working, and that the system is functional. But none of that is true. This isn’t 20, 30, or 40 years ago when two opposing parties fought it out. Today, you have one ruling elite – which includes members of both parties – that seeks to eliminate even the possibility of opposition. The things that make a democracy a democracy – an informed populous, free speech and debate, and petitioning for the redress of grievances – are the things that are under attack. They are targeting the foundations of democracy and calling the wreckage “democracy.”
We need to understand what is happening so we can fight it. The way we fight it is to reject their premises. Look at what JD Vance is doing. Every time he talks to the regime media – and he talks to it all the time – unlike Harris, who would get a tongue bath instead of a tongue lashing like Senator gets. JD attacks the premises of the questions and refuses to back down. He won’t apologize for standing up for the normal American citizens of Springfield. He won’t be shamed into allowing them to be treated like serfs. We must refuse to accept the regime media’s premises and ruthlessly use the power that we will take back at this election to undo the damage the elite has caused. Let them call us “unChristian.” Let them call us “racist.” Let them call us “transphobic.” Who cares what they say? It’s time to take back our power and crush them. And to do it with a smile.

KAMALA: Keep America Mediocre and Laughed AT
Mark Sochor says
This elite capture of the communication to the American people is getting a lot of competition. But, not nearly enough. My fear is that the midterms of 2022 are the harbingers of the completion of the dumbing down of the American citizen project started with Wilson.’ The establishment of the public education system, income tax, the welfare and administrative state and the removal of Senators elected by state legislators to another popularity contest. All leading to an overpowering government ruling groupthink narcissists. That may seem a contradiction in terms but look at our culture.. Kamala as “abstract art “ is perfect for our “spirit of the age” This election is a trial on the American people.

Like Saul Alinsky said, elections are nice, but what you are after is power. The maintenance and wielding of power.
sumsrent says
I’ve been saying it for years…
This is NOT the America we were brainwashed to believe and what our families died for in Wars…
From the very beginning… George Washington was a Freemason… and Freemasonry is tied into satanic islam…
Even Washington DC is laid out in a satanic Goats Head design…
And I Question whether or not the White House is facing satanic Mecca?
The Luciferian want a Globalist satanic System… and they’ve been helping, aiding and funding satanic islam’s quest for world domination…
This is all Biblical Prophecy… The Antichrist Beast System…
satanic islam is the Antichrist Beast System… the NWO… The New World Islamic Economic System… <<< pure Antichrist…
Intrepid says
Well sumsy wumsy, it’s biblical prophesy as only you understand it. Basically a very paranoid version of your reality. It’s a wonder you are able to get out of bed in the morning, always looking for satan and his minions under your breakfast dishes. Still racking up the downvotes. Somehow I don’t think they will let you write articles on this site.
The Ode to Sumsrent:
“I search for satan everyday.
I search and search in every way
I scream and yell and no one cares
Just don’t say I’m nuts
Don’t you dare.
I’ll say you are in league with
With the father of lies.
Or is it the father of pies?
It’s the feds I say
They did 9-11
It’s the catholics I say
They have a pope you know
It’s the ELCA I say
Not sure what they really did
To piss off me.”
From heaven downward to my beema-bob-a-looma seat,
Into the hospital kitchen where I eat.
I search for satan everyday.
I search and search in every way.
But satan’s never there
And it’s not fair for me
To be a low rent version of St. John the B.”
sumsrent says
You make a joke of the One True Living God… and His Holy Bema Seat…
You are one really ignorant idiot.
Intrepid says
You couldn’t possibly imagine anyone making fun of you. You think you are too important. But guess what…..I am making fun of you…….and you are not at all that important. I will always ridicule you, and I will do it with every silly post you make. “The sky is falling!, the sky is falling!”.
The nice thing about Odes and “poetry”, no matter how lame, is I can rework the text.
You seem to be stuck on “really ignorant idiot”.
Well it’s Sunday, and wouldn’t ya know, church day!!. I’ll be a-prayin and a-playin, and a-sayin the Nicene Creed, the Lords Prayer, enjoying some fellowship with a few of my fellow congregationalists, and generally renewing my faith in God and Jesus.
Whatcha gonna be doing at your church today. Let me guess. Whining about satanic this and that and telling us we are all gonna die. Don’t forget….satan could be in the corner, right behind that Beema seat. So have fun Sumsy.
sumsrent says
You don’t have Christ Jesus in your satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church…
Your church teaches how you worship the fake god allah… who has no sons, according to the satanic quran…
And reciting the Nicene Creed professes the satanic catholic fake church as the ‘One Holy Church’… all the while you attend a satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church…
Intrepid… you’re so messed up… it’s pitiful and sad…
How so?
You represent the majority of duped ignorant idiots of this world…
But meanwhile… I’ll keep on spreading the message…
sumsrent says
Now then…
Remember, the apostle John gave us clues on how to identify any antichrist. According to 1 John 2:22, both the spirit of antichrist and ‘The Antichrist’ always deny three things:
1) Both, deny the deity of Jesus Christ
2) Both, deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
3) Both, deny the relationship between the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:22… “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
Intrepid… your satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church is an Antichrist mosque… not even a church…
Worshiping the fake god allah… means you deny Christ Jesus as the Son of God…
Intrepid says
The funny thing is, Sumsy, I never hear the mention of Allah in my church, just Jesus and God, taken from the bible. I suppose you have a problem with the bible as well. Quoting John 2.22 simply means you know how to copy paste scripture. Maybe you should rename yourself Torquemada. He was a hoot and a half, warping scripture just like you.
Meanwhile you sit on your dirty little Beema corner, spreading the silly bile you call your “message”. Is the world flocking to hear your message? If it were, we would see the evidence….particularly of you preaching to the multitudes. All I see is a few very angry posts at this website. And why are they always so angry? I always believed Christianity is about love. I can see you missed that part of Christ’s message.
But I’ll give you this, your 4th grade level insults are getting more imaginative. Like this one: “your satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church is an Antichrist mosque… not even a church…” That gave me a chuckle. Going for the shock value now? Do you really think I’m going to leave my church because you don’t like it? It’s good to know you have a sense of humor.

Color me surprised that a person such as you would be reading something as intelligent and insightful as Front Page Mag.

Is that aimed at me or our rezidentura preacher
Andrew Blackadder says
The Free Mason movement have nothing to do with any teaching in islam.
Though George Washington was indeed a Free Mason as were many of the other Founders of the Republic however they believed the exact opposite of what satanic islam teaches..
Take your medication mate.
sumsrent says
You should do your research before you make a fool of yourself…
Freemasonry & the Shriners are interlinked… and tied into satanic islam… including the Illuminati, Luciferian-ism, The Trilateral Commission, Bohemian Grove, Skull & Bones, The Blue Knights, CFR, Chatham House… Chrislam… Wiccan… all tied into the Occult and satanic islam…
The evidence is George Washington wearing his Freemason apron during the ground breaking of the Capital… and… Thomas Jefferson designing the satanic ‘Great Seal of the US’ which can be seen on the back of the Dollar Bill still today… <<< The Pyramid with the Illuminati All Seeing Eye… <<< Purely satanic!
Even the Muslim Brotherhood is tied into Freemasonry…
Nimrod with the Tower of Babel… figures in some very early versions of the history of Freemasonry, where he was said to have been one of the fraternity's founders.
According to the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry: The legend of the Craft in the Old Constitutions refers to Nimrod as one of the founders of Masonry. Thus in the York MS., No. 1, we read: "At ye making of ye toure of Babell there was a Masonrie first much esteemed of, and the King of Babilon yt called Nimrod was a Mason himself and loved well Masons." However, he does not figure in the current rituals.
if you think that satan had just recently planned to divide and dupe the masses to worship it… think again…
It's been going on since the creation…
These evil satanic Globalists are working together to form a One World Economic Government… called Islamofascism…
Intrepid says
You better leave the U.S. while you still can with all of this free floating Freemasonry infecting us.
After all, how can you stand to live in a country where George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and even Benny Franklin!!! were Freemasons. And Mozart too. The Magic Flute was rife with Freemasonry. Who else is part of the grand conspiracy.
They are everywhere….they are everywhere!!! Only the Beema-Bob-A-Luma seat can protect us
sumsrent says
Intrepid… you say…
“Who else is part of the grand conspiracy.”
satan… and all his minions… like you, who downplay and minimize what’s going on in this world…
Holy Scripture tells us that the deceptions in the later days will be so convincing that the very elect could be deceived. Therefore; strive to become one of the very elect. For wide is the pathway that leads through the gate to destruction, for many will travel through it.
Think about that… if the very knowledgeable could possibly be deceived… how easy will it be for the masses to be deceived?
And unfortunately the masses are so confused they can’t decipher what is the truth.
They tend to analyze the here and now based on distorted facts of history and unknowingly conclude what the majority is saying to be reality. The numbers are stacked against them and those voices are louder… quite alarming.
Intrepid says
Wow, I am a minion of satan, I had no idea. I guess you figured out THE TRUTH!!! Next you will be calling me the anti-christ. Right up there with George Washington. Now, what did I do with my Freemason apron.
Your desperation is getting to the amusing level. And desperate people do desperate things. Now you know why I don’t give you any info on my church’s location. You are an unhinged lunatic.
I can’t wait for the “next level” accusations.
Have you taken your meds yet today? Did you speak to your doctor?
Intrepid says
Oh sumsy Wumsy
I don’t downplay or minimize what’s going on in the world. But I certainly won’t tell you what I am doing. All I can say is I am ready for what I know is coming. And I don’t need to preach endlessly about it. And I don’t need you to teach me what to think.
Your “the sky is falling” act doesn’t accomplish a damn thing except to make you look like a paranoid fool. If you want to run around in circles, yelling at everyone, looking for satan everywhere be my guest. No one is listening to your rants.
You know sumsy, I did a search on “endtimes, sumsrent” and nothing came up in the results. No website, no church, no documents. Nothing. But there were plenty of results simply on an endtimes search. Seems like plenty of endtimes preachers are running circles around you. You should build a website to get that message of yours out. But then people would actually find out what a fraud and nutcase you are.
So hang on to that beema-bop-a-looma seat. You will need it.
sumsrent says
Intrepid… if you think all my comments are just for you… you’re a bigger joke than what I figured…
Oh… you’re hilarious…
Here you’re talking about meds… yes… you need them…
The front of your US currency says… “In god do we trust”… <<< What god?
Is that the fake god allah of your satanic homosexual approved ELCA fake church/mosque?
See… years ago… over a decade ago… I was posting about how catholicism is satanic… got banned from alot of them…
But nowadays… they refer to catholicism as being satanic themselves…
The term satanic was hardly ever used… now it's commonplace to see it…
And your homosexual ELCA Lutheran fake church/mosque… is satanic !!!
The word will get around…
sumsrent says
Yes Intrepid… you are satan’s minion…
You know very darn well the hidden secrets of your satanic homosexual approved ELCA Lutheran fake church/mosque…
But yet… you won’t dare speak up and tell your congregants what you now know…
Therefore… you’re doing then work of satan… helping to maintain and keep your congregants deceived and duped…
Your fake ELCA Lutheran church is a mosque in the making… with everyone of the congregants worshiping the fake god allah…
sumsrent says
Intrepid… you can also tell your so called idiot Pastor I said he’s satan’s minion as well…
Tell him I said… His homosexual approved ELCA Lutheran fake church/mosque is satanic !!!
I’ll be waiting for a response from him through you… you fake god allah worshiper…
Intrepid says
Wow, Hidden secrets of the ELCA. I had no idea, except that the ELCA makes no secret of its comings and goings. It’s all out there on its website. Do you have a website?
And where’s my “Satan,s minion” outfit anyway? I must have left it on your Beema-Bop-a-Looma seat.
As for my Pastor I better tell him what you said. He will be crushed. After all you seem to have your finger on the pulse of the ELCA. Is that on your website? As to his response, you will be waiting an eternity for it.
It would seem that I am the only guy you are posting to, so your comments must be for me. You are lucky anyone wastes their time on you. It’s fun to watch you get so unhinged.
How convenient you got banned from posting to some other website. Now we don’t get to see where you used to post. I would bet you never posted anywhere. Somehow I don’t think your message got around. So where is this website you posted to. Like I said, I did a search on “sumsrent”. Your name doesn’t come up anywhere. Obviously you don’t have the guts to stand behind your posts beyond this website. I’ll be happy to send you some search results. You can accuse them of being satanic too.
BTW, your command of the English language is starting to falter. I suggest an ESL class.
sumsrent says
Naturally your congregants of your satanic ELCA Lutheran mosque cloaked as a fake church would approve of worshiping the fake god allah of satanic islam…
They all approve of homosexual pastors and homosexual weddings…
Intrepid says
Since you have never been to my church, and you will never set foot in it, you have no idea what the congregants think.
As always you just make stuff up to make yourself feel important. Guess what, you aren’t and you never will be.
Where’s your website, silly man?

It proves your satanic homosexual approved ELCA fake church is a mosque in the making…

I think you can break down our political differences into two basic camps. On one side you have the “shut up and do what you’re told” tyrants. On the other side you have the “Eff You” resistance. I can’t make it any more clear than that.

Bias through the years: a long list of media infractions
By Jack Hellner
For decades, most of the media has put forth tremendous effort to destroy people they don’t like, and to protect people they support. Evidence has been irrelevant.
Meanwhile, the media was spending a lot of time protecting Obama from the scrutiny of the public eye, hiding his relationships with terrorist Bill Ayers, radical Reverend Wright, political fixer Tony Rezko, and antisemite Louis Farrakhan.

I’ve a serious question.
If 20.000 in a town of 60,000 is poison, at what concentration does this diversity poison become a “strength”?
Is 10,000 OK? Does 10,000 have some benefit that gets lost when there are 20,000? Or is it 1,000. Are 1,000 immigrants on welfare, suppressing wages, sucking up social services beneficial?
In NYC the Mayor started to complain at something like 0.01%. At Martha’s Vineyard, the number was even lower.
From looking that the towns where these so called “elite” live, it seems diversity has a homeopathic quality where the actual concentration should approach zero. Maybe the immigrants need to interact with people who then interact with natives the way the molecules in homeopathic remedies are so diluted that among the trillions of molecules it is very likely that exactly zero will contain the actual claimed drug.
Just asking.
