Victor Davis Hanson, The Coup We Never Knew

By Victor Davis Hanson

Did someone or something seize control of the United States?

What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?

Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?

When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines near criminal?

Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas—furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes, with placards declaring “Off with their d—s”?

Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?

How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional committees?

When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her rival?

Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological males to compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law? Did the Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could shower in gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever asked to redefine the very sports they had championed?

When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? How could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or shoes during a quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?

Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?

What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?

When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, assault not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the law?

Was there ever a national debate about the terrified flight from Afghanistan?  Who planned it and why?

What happened to the once trusted FBI? Why almost overnight did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with impunity under oath?

Who redefined our military and with whose consent? Who proclaimed that our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could call his Chinese Communist counterpart to warn him that America’s president was supposedly unstable? Was it always true that retired generals routinely libeled their commander-in-chief as a near Nazi, a Mussolini, an adherent of the tools of Auschwitz?

Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race? How did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on a campus? Whose idea was it to reboot racial segregation and bias as “theme houses,” “safe spaces,” and “diversity”? How did that happen in America?

How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns rob of us of our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited our collective madness?

We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare to a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup we never knew.

  1. A very positive report from Fulford this AM…..many grains of salt and other caveats:

    McCarthy to replace Biden as US “president” while the UN prepares to move to Laos
    By Benjamin Fulford Weekly Reports 3 Comments
    If you hold the audio subscription, the following report can be listened to Here.

    Some tectonic shifts have taken place in Geopolitical power structures during the past week. The result will be the widely despised avatar “Joe Biden,” being replaced as US President by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Pentagon and MI6 sources say. Also, preparations to move UN headquarters from New York to Laos have begun in earnest, CIA sources in Laos say.

    These changes are taking place as the main culprits for the present dysfunctional state of the planet gather at Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. As this report was about to go live, CIA sources say the head of this organization, Klaus Schwab Rothschild, Klaus Schwab would miss the opening of the WEF conference in Davos today “due to a health issue”.

    https://twitter.com/ANTlWEF/status/1614697873790189569

    However, this may be a disinformation trap designed to destroy the credibility of this newsletter by having him or an avatar appear after we report his absence. The WEF was unavailable for comment. Regardless, the criminals gathering at Davos have lost the battle for the planet earth, multiple sources agree.

    What we know is that the entire Hitler/Rockefeller branch of the ruling class has lost power. This means descendants of Adolph Hitler and John Rockefeller I including Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, David Rockefeller Jr., etc. will be stripped of all power and titles, MI6 sources say.

    To confirm if this is true, we need to see the public removal of Rockefeller Avatar, “President Joe Biden,” along with the rubber mask-wearing phony Pope Francis.

    There are signs this is happening. In the US, a power struggle has resulted in a compromise wherein neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden will be in power. The Supreme Court rejected the Brunson case to overthrow the 2020 election because it would have installed Donald Trump as president. The reason is the Donald Trump who has appeared in public since January of 2020 is a vaccine-pushing fraud. The real Donald Trump, whose son Barron was injured by vaccines, was virulently opposed to them. This means if the Supreme Court had reinstated Trump then the avatar Joe Biden, who took orders from the Rockefellers, would have been replaced by a Trump avatar who took orders from the Rothschilds.

    So, serious horse-trading took place in the 15 rounds of votes it took to make Kevin McCarthy speaker of the house. McCarthy was forced, among other things, to promise to hold hearings into how the FBI was turned into a malignant force suppressing American patriots.

    The latest intelligence we have is that Joe Biden will be removed along with Kamala Harris, the second in line for the presidency. That would make McCarthy president but only as an interim figure who would oversee new, and genuine, elections. In such an election the real Donald Trump would run.

    That is why we are now seeing headlines such as this in the corporate propaganda media:

    Former Clinton Adviser David Gergen Says Biden Risks Being ‘Creamed’ by Docs Case: ‘Very, Very Big Deal’

    https://www.mediaite.com/tv/former-clinton-adviser-david-gergen-says-biden-risks-being-creamed-by-docs-case-very-very-big-deal/

    This shows they are going to use the “documents in garage” story instead of child rape and murder or selling the US government out to gangsters in Ukraine as the excuse to end the Biden farce. To reconfirm it is a farce notice how the fake Biden doesn’t blink in this video. Most likely it is CGI

    This dumb show cannot last much longer.

    We are also seeing a very strong campaign to remove “Pope Francis.” That is why we are seeing news reports a plot to remove him “began in earnest” immediately after Pope Benedict (maledict) XVI died on December 31st.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11614445/Conservatives-wage-secret-plan-liberal-pontiff-stress-step-down.html

    The sudden death on January 10th of the head of the Vatican Bank, Cardinal George Pell, is probably related to this battle. Pell was an ally of the real Pope Francis who decried the phony Francis as a “disaster” and a “catastrophe.” In any case, P3 sources say the fake Francis has been canceling all of his public appearances for days in a row because of “a mysterious illness.”

    What we know for sure is that some sort of purge of the highest levels of power has been taking place in recent weeks with the death of top Chinese power broker Jiang Zemin, Queen Elizabeth II, Evelyn de Rothschild, Pope Benedict etc.

    We are also hearing this is all related to the fact a new M1 or head of the committee of 300 and controller of the world financial system has been selected.

    We have been in contact with this individual, who is a European royal you have most likely never heard of. This person says “M1 simply means Monetary One or the global underwriting of the world’s banks…. Monetary One is simply a legal signatory to all other debt. You can’t sign country debt to thin air so it has to end somewhere with someone.”

  2. Breaking NEWS:
    The Commander of Fort Knox is considering transferring all of the gold bullion stored in Fort Knox to a new and much more secure location. Everyone is all abuzz with this over the top revelation. President Biden, a respected high security expert has revealed that his Delaware garage is just that location. Why oh why, please let us know. Well, it seems that is the location where he stores his priceless 1967 Corvette and anything next to his Corvette is as safe as you can imagine [that garage has a padlock on the door]. If you look closely at my File Photo you can see some boxes next to his fabled Green Corvette.

    Most people in the know can vouch that that’s the location of some TOP SECRET Government papers! Even Jay Leno has glanced inside that box. I shutter to think what’s next.

    1. Its rumored that Biden’s ’67 Corvette may be moved to an underground garage near the Oval Office. This is so that Biden might tool around the South Lawn at the WH but there’s big a problem with that. The WH is considered a security failure. Nothing is safe there. Not even TOP SECRET files are safe at the WH. Imagine that.

      The last thing anyone would want to do is place Biden’s priceless Corvette in, is any danger.

  3. The “coup” was basically a stealthy infiltration of almost every American institution–from academia to government to the media, large corporations, nonprofits, even churches–over the past century. All of this culminated in six years of massive electoral fraud (yes, there was wholesale fraud in 2016 but not enough to overcome the surprisingly huge vote for Trump) condoned by the already infiltrated courts and DOJ and political parties and media. The government will have to be taken back, from school boards and political party leaders to generals and admirals. But is it too late?

  4. Once again, Florida taking the lead.

    Florida to Ban Tracking of Firearm and Ammo Purchases in First-in-Nation Policy Proposal

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/florida-to-ban-tracking-of-firearm-and-ammo-purchases-in-first-in-nation-policy-proposal_4980169.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=whatfinger

    “Florida officials have put forward a proposal to prohibit tracking firearms and ammunition purchases, arguing that the collection of data by state financial institutions violates the Second Amendment.

    The trio of Florida state officials—all Republicans—on Jan. 10 laid out the “Florida Arms and Ammo Act,” a first-in-the-nation policy proposal to bar tracking guns and ammo sales via merchant category codes.

    Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson, along with State Sen. Danny Burgess and State Rep. John Snyder, argued that the adoption of the tracking codes would create a quasi-registry of Floridians who have bought guns and ammo legally.”
