FJBiden causation the day the music died. Christian Nationalism whatever it is…

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. ~ Zechariah 9: 9

Brian Parsons, American Thinker: On February 3, 1959, a single-engine Beechcraft 35 Bonanza took off from Mason City, Iowa, en route to Fargo, North Dakota. On board were famed rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. Richardson, “The Big Bopper.” By morning, when the pilot failed to check in, a second flight took off to retrace the flight path of the first, and six miles from the takeoff, the mangled wreckage of the first plane was discovered in a cornfield. All passengers aboard the plane were killed. This event was penned as “the day the music died” by 1970s folk singer Don McLean. Growing up in the 1960s and seeing drastic societal changes such as the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, the day the music died came to describe a rapidly changing culture and a loss of innocence in McLean’s song “American Pie.” Deemed the sexual revolution and the age of free love, the 1960s typified the height of anti-government sentiment and social liberalism.

DGH: At approximately 0100 on February 3, 1959, a chartered Beechcraft Model 35 Bonanza, N3794N, crashed approximately five miles northwest of the Mason City Municipal Airport, Mason City, Iowa. The flight destination had been planned to be Fargo, North Dakota, an air distance of approximately 300 miles. The pilot and three passengers were killed, and the aircraft was destroyed. We all cried – even those of us in England. Yours truly was 16 years old.

Brian Parsons: Sometime between then and now, the socially liberal Left that emerged from the 1960s made friends with the government and came to adopt the authoritarianism of their Bolshevik predecessors.  These authoritarians no longer wished to oppose the wars waged by the big government but to champion them. They no longer wish to defend the right to burn flags in protest but to imprison those who use political wrongspeak. Recent examples highlight this shift to the authoritarian spectrum, such as the case of Douglass Mackey.  Mackey, also known as meme poster Ricky Vaughn, became famous for his satirical posts that the Left has suggested helped to get Donald Trump elected in 2016.  Mackey most famously created a meme that urged leftist voters to vote for Hillary Clinton by text, a technology that does not exist.  For his efforts, the Eastern District of New York arrested Mackey on Conspiracy Against Rights charges. Mackey was convicted by a New York City jury and will be sentenced to up to ten years in federal prison.

DGH:  Our Constitution set up a system of federalism so the states would be an effective check against the power of the federal government. The federal government has been effective in undermining this system by making the states dependent on federal money. We will need some red state governors with real guts to reassert state power. Without the state governor and legislature united in this effort, one definitely doesn’t see it succeeding.

********************

Brian Parsons: Critics have noted that Mackey was not the only person to make this satirical joke. A leftist meme poster named Kristina Wong made an  identical joke targeted at Trump supporters in 2016.  As with most authoritarian regimes, political targeting is reserved for the opposition. No individual has been more targeted than former President Donald Trump. In a recent interview by famed citizen journalist Tim Pool about the indictment of Trump, former congressman Ron Paul was asked at what point this shift to weaponized government happened. He suggested that a coup of the American government came with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and we’re still dealing with the repercussions today. If the day the music died described a loss of innocence for an American generation in the 1960s, the administration of Donald Trump became that red pill moment for many in this one.

DGH: Then there’s this: Typically, the group fueled by collective narcissism also perceives hostility from others and feels the need to show a threatening presence to any out-group. They are typically super sensitive to potential provocation or denigration and feel a need to seek revenge through force to remedy the perceived sleight of others. Researchers suggest that the use of hostility doesn’t assuage their fear of threats to their importance, but instead creates a continuous loop of perceived threat and hostile response.

Brian Parsons: Throughout Trump’s administration, the permanent government apparatus removed the blinders from the public and showed them exactly who they were.  The nakedly partisan attacks from the press were relentless, and the unending scandal and lawfare employed were demoralizing.  Still, conservatives held out hope that what government tools were available to them would act as a bulwark against a weaponized state: Firstly, elections, and second, the courts. When conservatives failed to make headway against government overreach with the elections of 2020 and 2022, they placed undue faith in the courts.  In return, they found that the judicial system was long ago overrun with partisan attorneys general, district attorneys, and judges. A weaponized Department of Justice put January Sixth defendants behind bars for years awaiting trial. Some who received a trial were exonerated after conviction, such as the Qanon Shaman, Jacob Chansley.

********************

DGH: Our recourse is to firmly hold the line where we still have power, at the state level, and reject federal dictates. These states become a magnet for Patriots, who will flock to those states to fight any illegitimate attempt on the part of the feds to enforce their tyranny. After that, if we lose, we die free men. Surrendering to tyranny is un-American, thereby FJBiden causation the day the music died.

Brian Parsons: He was released to a halfway house early last month when it came to light that the government withheld exculpatory evidence from his defense, reminiscent of the trial of former Trump Administration official General Michael Flynn. Trump’s recent sham indictment follows a long line of political targeting and malfeasance.  We now know that the Biden Whitehouse authorized the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, likely to retrieve Crossfire Hurricane documents that Trump held over government conspirators.  Three grand juries in New York City and Atlanta were seated by partisan district attorneys who specifically ran on targeting Trump. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Special Counsel to probe Trump’s possession of classified information no doubt has a preferred political outcome as well: to stifle his 2024 Presidential bid. As the permanent regime marches forward with its war on political opposition, it flushes American sovereignty down the toilet.

********************

DGH: Interesting, isn’t it, that a paralyzed president so admired those who were out-of-control destroyers of other people’s lives, connecting himself with their physicality? And maybe their common dislike of common people? FDR was a big admirer of Mussolini, and Stalin also. FDR was by any standards a strange man, both he and Teddy made huge decision regarding economics in America and yet both squandered their inheritances with bad investments.

********************

Brian Parsons: When Joe Biden isn’t rambling on about licking the world, he is busy signing off on the collapse of the American system.  From his Inflation Reduction Act to his endorsement of autocrats like Brazil’s Lula de Silva, who instantly dropped the dollar for BRICS and the Chinese Yuan, Biden has sent the dollar into a tailspin on a global stage. From his war on American energy and gas appliances to his alleged bombing of Russia’s Nordstream 2 pipeline, Biden’s Green New Deal war on fossil fuels has been felt globally. More than a year later, his ill-advised proxy war in Ukraine rages and escalates toward the first global conflict in eighty years while isolating the United States from the world order established after the last one. Many people accepted his regime in 2020, seeking a return to normalcy. They agreed to the terms of their tormentors with empty promises to hear the music once again. They were lied to. In several stanzas of McLean’s “American Pie,” he sings of attempts to restart the music so that people might return to dancing and forget reality. What makes a loss of innocence lament-worthy is that it can never be regained once lost. Our only recourse is to embrace reality and then work to shape it for the better. [end]

DGH: Finally, when the anti-American OBO#44 laid his hand on the bible and repeated the oath, some of us were just savvy enough to figure “That’s an impeachable offense. He’s just lied that he swears to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitutional Republic of the United States, since he told the world unabashedly that he intended to fundamentally change the United States.” Millions of us knew it was over then.

And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. ~ Zechariah 11: 12-13
