This is the equivalent of Trudeau freezing bank accounts in Canada for the truckers who attended the anti-jab protests - many people sobered up in that moment.

we're beginning to more clearly recognise the government's overreach. next we need to go from exposure to accountability.

What startles me is how brazen it's all become. They just put it out there and are then surprised when Americans have a problem with it. They are so arrogant that they believe their own propaganda but how could they no one can be this stupid. They are beating the proverbial dead horse and so enthralled with it, they aren't seeing everyone around them making the grossed out face. The far left is already plotting protests against the Dems because they aren't doing "enough" but yet they beat on it some more. Shocking.

This is why so much of the world is rushing to Putin, the American Empire is destroying itself. Wow seriously vote for better people. (Internationally as well this has got to be the worst set of global elites in history.)

Well I'm a Georgian and we tried that in the run offs for senate. bunch of us didn't vote and that got us 2 radical senators and a 50/50 split so don't think that plan is going to work. But if instead we all vote in droves and overwhelm the system at least there is a chance. Doing nothing gets nothing done. And of course contact your representatives on local, county, state and federal levels.

Voting in overwhelming numbers will either out put many if them out of power, or force them to cheat so badly that almost no one will be able to deny it.

the National Security State is who rules Amerika. The President is a figurehead. Biden makes this obvious, but it's been true for decades. Both parties are usually aligned with the Security State a.k.a. Deep State (career bureaucrats at CIA, military, State dept, FBI, and all the other Federal bureaucracies including the captured "regulatory" agencies like FDA, CDC, etc.). Trump hated the Deep State and they hated him. This raid is just a continuation of that. Democrats have become champions of the Deep State. They abandoned working class, middle class, and antiwar decades ago.

right. and he didn't do much to drain the swamp. Maybe it was an impossible task though, maybe it can't be drained. Maybe the only thing that will end the corruption in DC is for the swamp to disappear completely, as in completely collapse.

I'm not Canadian nor American. I think Trudeau though is more of a shit than Biden so therefore I don't think that his action was genuine. Agree with you on Biden otherwise.

I'm glad that you explained 'genuine'. I wouldn't have used that word in relation to Trudeau.

Your point about the theatrics regarding the Mir-a-Lago raid are interesting but hard to say. Could also be a sign of that side being drunk with power thinking they are all powerful.

I pretty much agree with what Jordan has written. There are some former American leaders who have acted in very brazen ways, almost as if to send a message.

If they wanted to take down Trump all they need to do is remind everyone he signed off on the bill giving Big Pharma immunity for the covid vaccines. But that loosens their grip on the power they have over us so they pull this crap instead.

Expand full comment

The Biden regime is a circus of errors. That said, Joe missed a huge opportunity in Spring 2021 when “ breakthrough “ covid infections were already being seen. He could have sidelined Fauci, embraced therapeutics and blamed the entire jab fiasco on Trump. Als, he was too establishment and bureaucratic to do so. I think that removes Biden’s ability to do as you say.

He missed that ‘opportunity’ because they are all in it...

Too stupid as well.

Expand full comment

Yep!

Expand full comment

Would that have taken down Trump? Trump made mistakes, sure, but seemingly fewer than other recent presidents, and many of his "mistakes" were due to the entire corrupt system aligned against him. He did far more with far fewer resources than I could have imagined.

Expand full comment

Actually that's not unusual, all vaccines on the list for kids have immunity and the US taxpayer has all the liability (probably why they pushed so hard to get on the list for kids, once it came off the "emergency use" liability changed, which is why the "FDA approved" vaccine isn't available here in the US only the one covered by "emergency use"). Besides remember the situation at the time, everyone knew if they cut a few corners to get the vaccine faster there would be risks involved, just the fact that we don't have years of data tells us that. Which is why informed consent is so important, let me make the choice for myself and if I choose to take on the risks then that's fine it's when you make them mandatory that you take informed consent out of the picture.

I understand some people just hate Trump and that's fine but why would I blame him for that? He opened up options for us at a time when a lot of people were scared and desperate for options. It's Fauchi, Berks, and Pence who were making the calls, Trump just made things happen like a CEO of any company. Be mad at the right people. He isn't an angel or demon, just a human.

I think it was in April 2020 updating the PREP Act along with a bunch of other Covid related pork. We couldn't have Operation Warp Speed if Pfizer and Moderna had liability. All their execs would have lost their second homes in the Hamptons by now.

Expand full comment

I thought the blanket liability protections for the actual pharma manufacturers (not doctors, etc.) weren't "amended" into the Prep act until January 29, 2021? After that, the protections for pharma and company were expanded upon further every few months later? The usual slow dance to the final destination, so no one notices up front. I thought the pharma liability was a sticking point that they danced around until a more opportune moment to slide those protections in arrived. If pharma had demanded complete protection from liability for the gene therapy immediatly up front, a lot more people would have taken notice that something was up.

I appreciate this perspective, because as a former DOJ attorney, mostly I just feel distraught and horrified. Thank you.

So what's our solution? I think moving borders to create super-states like greater Idaho would give conservatives a chance to self-sort, isolate urban areas and fend off the federal govt., but that will take time. What meaningful actions to combat these corrupted institutions can us citizens do in the meantime?

Expand full comment

Let’s move federal government offices to a variety of places across the country. And, institute term limits.

Expand full comment

Better put limits on bureaucratic offices as well.

Expand full comment

That's very long term.

Expand full comment

Maybe. But we gotta start sometime.

Expand full comment

It's not a start. It's a finish. We need to get rid of these people to accomplish what you suggest. That's the game. Of course we'd be better off with term limits and decentralized federal government, but Trump or a Trump-like figure would need to get the power to do so.

Expand full comment

Agree.

Expand full comment

I don’t think the electoral system is the answer — it’s irreversibly broken. They want us to pin our hopes on top-down reform via “democracy” while they control every lever of power regardless of who’s in office.

And while there’s corruption at every level of government, I think it increases as the area of jurisdiction increases.

So I suggest a worthy approach includes: 1) a broader movement toward state secession. And 2) making the system ultimately irrelevant by opting-out of it and creating parallel institutions that serve the people instead of the elites. In fact, the ideal system would have no place for elites.

The moment the federal election was openly stolen, the greatest theft in US history, it was in the cards that the inept, incompetent, tragically it is seen, ideologically woke Leftists would be unable to continue to govern the nation, without totally destroying everything normal, while mismanaging every single area that they immediately, without compunction, threw into total chaos, not really surprising for people not aware there are TWO GENDERS and who aimed all their efforts into doing everything they could to destroy every positive initiative, that Donald Trump had managed and accomplished, regardless the stupidity of their actions, from Afghanistan to the UN and all points in-between, way too many to document here, but all abject harmful failures .

They have now with the usual blind support of their recalcitrant MSM media arm, been shown to be anarchistic undemocratic, hopelessly corrupt , failed plutocrats.

From something I wrote elsewhere:

"...the entire point of this exercise was not to dig up evidence. The criminal laws in the United States are so far reaching and broad enough in scope that a prosecutor can always find a pretext to bring charges against anyone, especially anyone involved in higher level business or politics,.

The point of this tomfoolery was to send Trump a message."

Expand full comment

No, it was to send US a message. Trump knew this was always in the cards. He has said they're trying to take us apart, but he's the target because he's in the way. It wouldn't surprise me if the corrupt DoJ planted something among those documents to disqualify Trump; they can get to anyone anywhere.

Don't agree that this is anything new or different, and I think it's political theater.

How many people are currently in prison and being denied a trial for the FBI-staged 'insurrection' at the Capital? Searching Trump's house when he's not home is worse than that?

The FBI was at the center of the 'Russia collusion' operation, aimed at illegally taking down a president. How is that not the most blatant treason, and is that not worse than executing a search warrant at Trump's house when he's not home?

What about the FBI completely covering up the most blatant election fraud in world history, covering up the Biden laptop, and covering up decades of the massive Jeffrey Epstein pedo-blackmail operation?

What about all of the Bush family crimes, the Clinton family crimes, the Obama family crimes, and the Biden family crimes that are kept secret by the FBI?

What about the crime of the century, 9/11, that the FBI didn't investigate, and instead mounted a massive operation to destroy all of the physical evidence?

What about the fact that literally every arrest for 'terrorism' since 9/11 has been someone recruited, coached, and set up by the FBI?

When has the FBI not primarily been the protection bureau for the ruling criminal cabal? I'm at a loss to see how the Trump search warrant is anything more than the typical daily political-dissent-crushing oppression of the FBI. And I agree with others who've opined that this isn't to hurt Trump; it's to mock and incite his base.

Lazy, sloppy, arrogant, short-sighted, and foolhardy. This was an act of breathtaking hubris and stupidity, and hopefully the willfully ignorant and incurious masses now see these power-mad cravens for what they are.

Trump may be an asshole, but was was a sitting President with the plenary authority to declassify documents.

Even if he hadn’t, this was a de minimus transgression for which the FBI escalated to warrant without a preceding discussion or subpoena. If these fucksticks are willing to debase themselves and their institution this way to enact petty politic vendetta against a former President (and likely future Presidential candidate), all in the public eye, what aren’t they willing to do to the average private citizen?

Great and insightful article as usual, Jordan, and hopefully Americans are now awake to the perfidy with which they are confronted.
