Treason, Dark Money & the Reversal of Roe. A Long season of
Treason.
I was Wondering how
we got here?
Everyone's rights
are at risk. The overturning of Roe v Wade is just the start. Then
several more decision from the SCOTUS
that were all over the map, or were they? Is the beginning of or a
continuing agenda by the new conservative majority. A religious
autocracy with a majority of one religious view overriding the
Constitution.
Unless “We the
People” stop it.
The First
Amendment says;
AMENDMENT #1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress
of grievances.
It
now looks like some of the Justices do not get what “no
law respecting an establishment of religion” or
the next part;
or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
There
is a fine line, a gray area between the two ideas. That is where most
of the courts have made decisions from historically. Most people with
any reasonable critical thinking skills would probably understand
this gray area. It
looks
like we have crossed into something like a Theocracy.
Half
a dozen black robed priests. They
say they know what the founding fathers of our nation were thinking
at the time of the founding of our republic. A new cult called
Original-ism,
of Textual-ism.
That's all we need is some more weird ISMS.
A
cult that has taken over the courts, that
were put
into power by an oligarchy of unlimited bribery. With many of the
people who
are
dead set on ending the great experiment that is our
constitutional republic. Ending any form of meaningful democratic
participation by
we the people.
Starting before the
time of Richard Nixon there have been many instances of Leadership of
the Republican party and the Corporations moving towards Fascism and
now a form of corrupted corporatist fascism
in America. Now it is looking as if the Republican party and much of
the supreme court is owned Lock Stock and Barrel by the Corporatists.
There was the attempted Coup d'etat by certain capitalists that tried
to get the American General
Smedley Butler, to over throw then President FDR during the great
depression.
Our current situation is a result of a long string on abuses and
usurpation, interconnected
by greed, and or a lust for power by many elected and appointed
officials and corporate leadership. This increased since the
institution of the now discredited Neoliberal
Economic Models. Neoliberalism
ideology put the control of legitimate functions of government in the
hands of the monopolistic corporations, banks, The Military
Industrial complex,
Drug companies and big pharmaceuticals conglomerates, Agribusiness,
Fossil fuel; etc. This made for a vast expansion of corruption inside
government. This ideology allowed a massive concentration of wealth
beyond even the fortunes of the Robber
Barron era.
The current Problem
with an unbalanced Supreme Court really began with the Nixon
Administration, and what President
Johnson called Treason, that put Nixon in the White House.
Nixon's people
around the now infamous CREEP
and others, interfered with the Peace
Deal that was being negotiated by the President Johnson
administration with the Vietnam Leadership, to delay the end of the
war. Conspiring with a foreign power to help win the election. The
beginning of a long pattern of conspiring
with a foreign power to win the Presidency of the US government.
Totally ignoring the US Constitution and the important and legitimate
functions of the US government and its laws. By the way Nixon was not Prosecuted, but given a pardon by President Ford
This gave us the seed change in the Supreme Court, that began with
Justice
Powell being appointed by Nixon, and an attack on unions and the
working class. Author of the Powell
Memorandum, and who was a corporate lawyer for the US.
Chamber of Commerce. In
brief, the Powell Memo called for the Corporations
to start funding and influencing elections
to benefit candidates that were favorable to corporate
interests, and
to counter the influence of the labor unions. This put on steroids
the greed, and deregulation of corporations
that are now considered
persons by Supreme Court Decisions, contrary to any kind of
common sense or historical understanding. Corporations
are not persons and Money is not Speech. This
became the foundation of the
recent notion that
corporations main duty is to their share holders and not the common
good of the community or society as a whole.
Near the end of the
1970s, the Islamic Revolution started in Iran. The Shah of Iran, who
was widely perceived as a tyrant and American Puppet or western
asset, was overthrown while out of the country. A number of Americans
were taken
hostage and held. The Carter Administration was negotiating for
their release. There were allegations that the Reagan Champaign made
a deal to delay the release of hostages until after the election,
having the Iranian government keep the American hostages until the
election was over. The hostages were released within minuets of the
inauguration of Reagan. Then the October
Surprise allegations
went public.
Then there was the
Ronald Reagan -Bush Administration and Iran-Contra.
Trading weapons,
running drugs and guns to the Contras in Central America, and weapons
to Iran.
Bush the elder was
already party to the Treason with Iran that made him Vice President.
After eight years of Reagan, George H. W. Bush became president. Then
pardons were handed out by the Bush administration, while the
investigations were still ongoing.
George H W Bush
appointed two Supreme Court Justices. One of them, Clarence Thomas is
still on the court writing decisions
that look to be very bad for the future of constitutional, or other
freedoms in America. This decision by SCOTUS must be at considered,
at least in part a violation of the cruel and unusual clause of the
#8th Amendment. Thomas is still considered the most
Conservative on the court.
When Thomas was
Confirmed by the senate, he spoke of Natural Law. According to
natural law theory, all people have inherent rights, conferred not by
act of legislation, but by the laws
of nature and natures god, or by reason and common sense. Where
has this notion gone in the reasoning of Justice Thomas?
Can now the state
control women, and strip them of control of their own bodies? Put
them in prison for having a miscarriage. Have health care denied
to them, and abortion, or birth control if they have
been raped?
The beginning of
blending church and state with evangelical support during the Reagan
time moved the non-separation of church and state, into common
acceptance by the right wing.
Coming next; The
Supreme steals the Presidential election.
Bush V Gore.
George W Bush and
the Supreme Court that helped steal an election
AMENDMENT VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive
fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
