America. Home of the knave?

Peter Navarro. Clap 'im in irons, Mr. Christian!

Something strange is happening in the USA. This country, the first experiment in democracy in the world and by far the most successful, is turning in on itself and eating not just its young, but its founding principles of freedom, liberty, and a country founded on constitutional rights.

In the last week, the January 6th committee hearings, the FBI's purging of conservative elements in its ranks, and the extraordinary arrest of economist and ex-Trump advisor Peter Navarro, have served only to confirm that a deep-state putsch has gone from warm to hot.

Navarro lives more or less opposite the offices of the FBI. When he was arrested for failing to respond to a subpoena to attend the Jan 6 hearings concerning the events which are laughably termed 'an insurrection', a deliberate spectacle was made of his arrest. The Feds could have strolled across the street, had a coffee with Navarro, and invited him to come over for a chat. He is hardly going to go on the lam. Instead, they trussed him in handcuffs and leg-irons - they really did - in a public place. The Left are getting serious now. Look up the French phrase from the Revolution of 1789, pour encourager les autres, and all will be revealed. The deep state is starting to show conservatives what it can and will do.

America is moving inexorably to a civil war. They won't be wearing grey or blue this time, but suits and wing-tips and dark glasses.

At what point did the American political class begin to hate the country whose libertarian system put them where they are? It is happening in Europe too, and as mentioned in yesterday's episode, those who resist this type of self harm, and express love of country and people instead of the new agenda of anarcho-tyranny, are despised by the various deep states operating across the globalist West.

If they are not trying to foment American Civil War 2.0, then as we used to say in England, I'm a Dutchman. There is a fractious feeling about the USA at the moment. There has been an accelerant poured on the bonfire over the last two years - partly hidden behind the smokescreen of COVID, an entirely manufactured crisis - and it is not hard to see what the play is.

If the American Left were hell-bent on destroying the country that used to lead the world, you know, like the conspiracy theorists claim, what would they be doing any differently?

If the breakdown comes - or rather when - there will be an overload and the wild animals will be let into the arena to face the gladiators. I don't believe the US deep state realises how many people are out there packing heat and prepared to defend the ranch. Let a thousand Ruby Ridges bloom...

Be very careful, O American Left. You may despise your country like some poor self-harming gal cutting her own arms, but you could well be kicking a hornets' nest.

And the Pelosis and the Schumers and the Joy Reids may find out that they are about to reap the whirlwind.
