Patriotic Americans Should Not Take the Bait

Currently, there appear to be three theories in play to explain to the public why the Biden Administration would authorize the F.B.I. to raid the home of a former President of the United States of America.

Presently, the one getting the most airplay is that it was to enable the government to retrieve documents belonging to the National Archives. However, it’s simply beyond credulity to believe that either Merrick Garland or Christopher Wray—much less, both—would ever realistically expect the public to accept that excuse for what they did in Mar-a-Lago any more than they could expect the public to understand the need to deploy a S.W.A.T. team to retrieve overdue library books.

Then there’s the theory that the raid was to enable unidentified political enemies of the 45th President to conduct a fishing expedition to find—or, worse yet, plant—any evidence they could use to prevent him from ever hoping to hold any elected office in the future—i.e. like, say, the Presidency in 2024. This is a more credible theory than the first. Past experience has taught us these people DO expect the average American to believe their lies, and, even if they don’t buy the lies, these people in the end simply don’t care what the public thinks. But is that alone enough for Trump’s enemies to conclude such a stunt is worth risking the huge public repulsion of the raid they are currently experiencing? And, even if it did provide them a pretext to plant false evidence, would that be worth the risk? Consider how well that strategy worked out for them when they recently tried to get the public to swallow the laughably false testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson. This was hardly an experience even hard-core anti-Trumpers would want to revisit again any time soon.

That leaves a third plausible theory that some, including Gregg Phillips of True the Vote, have offered to explain the government’s Stassi-like tactics, but which deserves far more airtime than it is being given. That is that the invasion of Trump’s residence was a strategic slap in the face of the American public to goad the emotions—i.e., both fear and anger—of Trump’s 70 million supporters in the hope that at least a few will respond to these emotions with some form of violence.

There are at least two reasons they might want this response from Patriots. Any violent consequence to the Biden regime’s gambit played out in Mar-a-Lago attributable to Trump’s supporters would, at minimum, provide Liz Cheney and her accomplices with the evidence they desperately need to buttress their currently failing argument that January 6th really was about Trump’s attempt to achieve an insurrection. Even more than that, however, such violence would also enable the Resident and his Administration to argue that, because the “insurrection” of January 6th is ongoing, the 2022 midterm elections must be postponed until “peace” can be restored.

Indeed, the table for this narrative to play out is already being set by the Democrats and their accomplices in the Mockingbird media? Witness Eric “bang bang the fang fang” Swalwell’s statement to MSNBC made the day following the F.B.I. raid:

“It’s very clear that Republicans have recognized that they can no longer win elections with votes, and so they’re leaning in hard to try to win elections with violence, and they are fomenting that violence right now with the threats they’re making against the attorney general, with the online chatter you are continuing to see, with the failure to condemn it on their own side.”

And, should you think Swalwell is alone in building this narrative about the violence of Trump supporters, witness the following video of several newscasters parroting an identical script about the likelihood of patriots initiating a civil war in the near future.

The reality, however, is just the opposite. People advancing this narrative are hoping the Mar-a-Lago raid will serve as the slap to the face of the American people that was will incite them to initiate a civil war prior to the midterms for which patriots can be blamed. And, in fact, they need this to happen while they are still retaining their firm grip on the levers of power.   

Why?

Because the truth is that it is the Democrats who are presently extremely fearful that they will soon lose their grip on that power over all branches of federal law enforcement in the upcoming elections, unless something is done between now and then to forestall their defeat at the polls.  

Why?

Because if they lose their grip on power in the next election, they fear they will be held accountable for many, if not all, of the crimes they have committed to overthrow our government going as far back as 2015—starting with the Steele dossier and the ensuing Russian hoax. And, based on how things are currently evolving, they know that it is very likely for the patriots to secure the integrity of our voting process and displace those now in control of our government.

Whereas they could pull it off in years past because the average voter wasn’t looking— via vote harvesting, drop boxes, mules and their recourse to computer manipulations—the scrutiny of the 2020 election has removed the bandage covering this sore that has been afflicting our republic and exposed it to the light of day. Too many patriotic American voters now know too much about the process to let it happen again, and the Democrats know this time around the patriots will be watching their every move as the votes are cast and counted. Just consider, for example, the effect an educated, watching public had in the recent Arizona primary involving Kari Lake. In that election a vigilant public was quickly able to expose the cheaters and their antics to the light of day and thus enabled Ms. Lake to obtain the well-earned victory she so richly deserved.

And for the Democrats who participated in prior corruption of our elections, the stakes are high. They know that, if they allow the levers of power are allowed to be transferred in to the hands of patriotic Americans, many of them will likely be going to jail for the insurrection they have participated in that came to a head when they so blatantly upended the lawful—i.e., Constitutional—election process in 2020.

Whether it is called insurrection, sedition or treason, they are aware their conviction for their participation in furtherance of any conspiracy to achieve any of these crimes are likely to have dire consequences.

Given that reality, these un-American conspirators have nothing to lose by attempting to turn this nation on its ear prior to November while they still control the government to avoid their incarceration, if not execution, should their present control of our government be returned to those who, like Trump, love this country.

From this perspective, the raid at Mar-a-Lago can be seen as the bait in was intended to be—a slap to the face of America they have calculated was necessary to snare patriots into a trap they have set to ensure the patriots’ defeat and America’s demise.

So … the patriotic response to the slap should be to hold the line, remain frosty, and in November, take America back lawfully and peacefully by voting America’s enemies out of the offices they now wrongfully hold.

In other words … don’t take the bait.
