Empire, State, and the American Republic
A Call for Action in the Run-Up to the 2024 General Election
Well, Mr. President, it is time to speak out. It may be your last chance.
No, I do not mean the de jure buffoon who is sitting in the White House right now. Nor, do I mean the ruse voice of the Democrat establishment who hides behind his racial identity for a free pass at abuse of our republican form of government. And, I surely do not mean the champion of the disaster who rode the wave of the greatest press cover-up in American history — that of the Crime of 9/11!
I suppose that there remains Jeffry Epstein’s friend who was impeached for having lied to Congress about his promiscuous lower half. Have I receded historically far enough? Probably not. But, most Americans cannot regress much further.
No, I mean none of the above. Rather, I am referring to the one president in post World War II history who should understand, more than any other, how easily the American judicial system can be abused to achieve a political end or a goal of the state.
Well, Mr. Trump, this is your last chance to defend our nation’s 1st Amendment, and the freedom of the true press that is our first line of defense against tyrannical rule. No, not the fake press that you so frequently deride and so deservedly so.
Denounce the extradition of Julian Assange, and the abuse of Anglo-American imperial power against the exercise of a true free press — that of the likes of Tucker Carlson, Glen Greenwald, Del Bigtree, and many others who have recently arisen in reaction to the pernicious trend of Woke culture and the legacy media.
Give yourself and our nation a positive bump in the upcoming 2024 presidential and congressional contests. Speak out against the extradition of Julian Assange, the indifferent enemy of the abuse of state power. He is a hero of republican government.
No, he is not an American, nor does he even sit in an American prison. Then too, rather that he be returned to his homeland in Australia, a freeman, than become still another albatross around the neck of our struggling republic.
In liberty,
