Steve Bannon has called the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” In other words, the wresting of power from anti-democratic forces (often called the “Deep State“) that have seized unwarranted control over the state, the media, and most institutions of note.

Renowned journalist Glenn Greenwald recently joined Russell Brand for an appearance on the latter’s show. Brand prompted Greenwald with a question about whether what we need is a “galvanization of a new populist force” in the context of the grassroots left and right joining together, however temporarily, in the cause of defeating the technocratic, increasingly authoritarian, multinational corporate state.

Greenwald gave what I consider an insightful answer.

“That’s what I regard as my work… unifying of people who are being told constantly that they are supposed to hate each other across ideological, cultural and religious, and demographic divides that, instead… the reality is you have so much more in common than you do differences, namely your lives are being controlled and exploited and abused by this very small segment of elite culture and the only thing that matters is overthrowing their hegemony and then, once a fairer system has been proposed, you can start kind of grappling with those differences,” he said.

This is — again, in my view — an excellent political prescription. All of the current right vs. left stuff, especially the culture war piece, is real but secondary to the usurpation of the state by nefarious, off-shore forces (embodied by the World Economic Forum, for example).

For our VIPs: Tucker Carlson, Russell Brand, and the Great Political Realignment

The shared priority of everyone with an interest in a livable future should be a version of what Steve Bannon has called the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” In other words, the wresting of power from anti-democratic forces (often called the “Deep State“) that have seized unwarranted control over the state, the media, and most institutions of note.

The culture war, while real and worth hashing out, can only work itself out naturally in the context of a functional state with the right to free expression enshrined and cherished in law. That the First Amendment came first is no accident; free and open dialogue is the fount from which all progress flows. The sacred right to free speech must be restored before any peaceable resolution to the culture war can be reached. As of now, one-half of the participants (roughly) who don’t believe that, for example, trans-identified men should be permitted to beat women unconscious in combat sports for the sake of “equity” are essentially blacklisted from public discourse. This is no recipe for resolution.

Similarly, economic debates over regulation and wealth distribution only make sense if the state is functional and responsive to the public interest. When the state is unaccountable, regulations become weapons of profit and social control.

This is not radical populism, and it shouldn’t be construed as such. The American Revolutionaries started a war over the very issue of a domineering foreign power with interests totally disconnected from those of the colonists themselves, who, aside from the landed gentry that supplied the intellectual heft to the cause, were subsistence farmers. The revolutionaries, of course, had internal debates, especially in the aftermath of the war, over economic policy, etc., but those disagreements were secondary to the prime directive of freeing the colonies from the brutal yolk of the British crown.

Might Biden be a Liar & Predator like McCarrick?

September 15, 2020   Everyone knows that sexual predator ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick is a liar. His whole life was a lie of betrayal of the most sacred vows he took and the violation of the moral tenets of the Catholic faith which he desecrated. Most people don't realize that part of this desecration of lies included lying for "gravely sinful" Democrats like Joe Biden. McCarrick protected Biden when then head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later to be Pope Benedict XVI) wrote that bishops were not to admit to Communion politicians like "gravely sinful" Biden who supports the killing of unborn babies. McCarrick lied for politicians like Biden by ignoring the important parts of the Ratzinger letter and told bishops not to ignore the Catholic Church law.  Last year, Fr. Robert Morey denied Holy Communion to the “gravely sinful” Biden following a "2004 decree signed jointly by the bishops of

The Biben Lying Machine: "Joe , do you know what else is a Sin besides Killing Babies? Lying... "

October 09, 2020   It appears that Joe Biden was even a lying machine in 2008 according to the post " Media Ignores Biden Repeatedly Lies During 'Meet the Press' Interview" on the Weasel Zippers website: Joe Biden Repeatedly Lies During "Meet the Press" Interview, Claims he Doesn't Support Taxpayer Funded Abortions.....   Joe, do you know what else is a sin besides killing babies? Lying... ... Joe Biden repeatedly made the claim in a Sunday interview on the NBC political show "Meet the Press" that he opposes taxpayer funding of abortions. However, a look at his voting record over the years reveals numerous instances where Barack Obama's pro-abortion running mate did exactly that. "I don't support public, public funding. I don't, because that flips the burden. That's then telling me I have to accept a different view," he said on the program. As recently as February, Biden voted against an amendmen
