FINALLY! Alvin Braggs SECRET PUPPET MASTER revealed | Destroy TRUMP & USA!
I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party
that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers
driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke
anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are
hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police, and protect
criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders,
weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and
above all, dragging us ever closer to undeclared nuclear war.

You may have noticed that what you’re seeing is an order, meaning it comes from the judges. However, the D.C. judges haven’t impressed anyone as a particularly intelligent bunch. They are ideologues. That’s all. That’s why I keep throwing in the DOJ when I discuss this issue. I’d bet good money that the bright minds in the Democrat party, both in the DOJ and among the Democrat cadre of lawyers who lurk behind the scene, are the ones who came up with this idea. ANDREA WIDBERG
The D.C. Court’s fiendish plan if the Supremes overrule J6ers’ 1512(c)(2) convictions
The Supreme Court is deciding Fischer v. United States, a case challenging how the DOJ and the D.C. court have been using 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2) against January 6 defendants. Because it’s obvious that they’ve violated the most basic precepts of statutory interpretation, it’s likely that the Supreme Court will reverse the conviction. However, the D.C. court just issued an order establishing that defendants other than Joseph Fischer who use the decision to appeal their convictions will suffer an even worse fate. This is a reminder that the “law” in Democrat enclaves is unconcerned with justice. Instead, it exists to further the Democrat party’s power.
Section 1512(c)(2) contains a seemingly magical phrase that the DOJ and D.C. court have used to send hundreds of law-abiding citizens to jail or otherwise destroy their lives: “Whoever corruptly...obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.” According to the DOJ and the D.C. court, when Americans showed up to protest what they believed was an improper election certification based upon a corrupt election, they were obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding.

However, if one examines the statute, it’s obvious, from the title on down (“Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant”), that § 1512 addresses the crime of destroying or corrupting evidence in a criminal proceeding or investigation. It has nothing to do with exercising free speech in the legislative context. Taking language out of its statutory context to achieve an end the legislature never intended is a big judicial no-no. (See here for a somewhat more in-depth analysis.)
The DOJ and D.C. court know that their interpretation of § 1512(c)(2) is likely to be reversed. Even the most ideologically corrupt Supreme Court justice will have a very difficult time pretending that the statute can be extended beyond its manifest purpose of protecting evidence.
Any reversal will apply only to Joseph Fischer, the J6 defendant whose case is before the Supreme Court. However, once the Court overturns his conviction, the way is clear for every other J6 defendant convicted using § 1512(c)(2) to challenge the conviction. This has the DOJ and the D.C. court in a panic, but they’ve come up with a plan.
For those few J6 defendants convicted only under § 1512(c)(2), there’s nothing the DOJ and D.C. court can do to stop them from tasting freedom and having their records wiped clean. However, most of the J6 defendants were charged and convicted on myriad grounds. (One of the things prosecutors do is stack as many charges as possible in an indictment. This gives them huge leverage in negotiating plea bargains and means a probable win on something—anything—if the matter goes to trial.)
With an eye to the charge stacking common in criminal prosecutions, the D.C. court has just issued an order in the case of Larry Brock telling him that, if he dares challenge his § 1512(c)(2) conviction, the court has something much worse in store for him: It will change its initial order so that the various penalties originally imposed upon him will no longer be served concurrently but, instead, will be served consecutively.
Here's what that means. Under the “concurrent” standard, if a defendant was sentenced to two years for Crime A and two years for Crime B, both those sentences will be fulfilled by the same two years in prison. After two years, he’s a free man. However, if they’re switched to a “consecutive” system, the defendant will serve two years for Crime A. Once those two years are completed, the term for Crime B immediately begins. Thus, it will take four years for the prisoner to be freed:
You may have noticed that what you’re seeing is an order, meaning it comes from the judges. However, the D.C. judges haven’t impressed anyone as a particularly intelligent bunch. They are ideologues. That’s all. That’s why I keep throwing in the DOJ when I discuss this issue. I’d bet good money that the bright minds in the Democrat party, both in the DOJ and among the Democrat cadre of lawyers who lurk behind the scene, are the ones who came up with this idea.
I practiced law in the San Francisco Bay Area. What became obvious very early was that Democrat party judges held themselves to a very special standard. They saw themselves as above the justice-based principles of due process, the facts of the case, and the applicable law.
Instead, almost all of them believed that their black robes put them in direct contact with the higher power of social justice, allowing them to determine entirely upon ideological rather than constitutional and legal grounds. The only surprise for me now is that Democrat judges have become so open in their corruption and so blatantly partisan in their desired outcomes. This is evil and will stop only if they are held to account for their criminal trespasses. It’s to be hoped that when Trump returns to the White House, reforming our broken judicial system is one of his first acts.
Democrats Need To Be Held To Account For Denying Trump’s Due Process Rights.
Due process of law, or at least its absence, is the heart of the unconstitutional lawfare aimed at Donald Trump this week in a New York courtroom, ostensibly for hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. This is a crossing of the Rubicon moment for our Republic.
“Due process” is ancient shorthand for the sum of all the procedures the government must comply with and honor before it may take a person’s life, liberty, or property. The right to due process is over 1,000 years old in English jurisprudence. It is a right of every citizen and a duty of every government.
A year ago, I wrote about DA Bragg charging Trump with a crime, but not identifying the crime. Within the past few days, Andrew McCarthy called the prosecution a “farce” and listed its many failings. Prof. Jonathan Turley wrote that Trump is not being prosecuted for any actual crime. Prof. Jed Shugerman called the prosecution unfounded, both a “legal embarrassment” and a “historic mistake.” Matthew Whitaker said that Judge Merchan, who presides over the Manhattan kangaroo court, is hopelessly conflicted to a degree that would make Joe Biden blush.
The fundamental issues with this trial all revolve around a denial of due process. This is criminally unconstitutional, and, because it is meant to distort a free and fair presidential election President, creating an existential crisis for America.

A Brief History of Procedural Due Process
Since 1215, an ocean of blood has been spilled by men on English and American shores to vindicate individual rights. Civil wars (including the 1st and 2nd Baron’s War, the Peasants’ Revolt, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the American Revolution) have been fought, kings deposed, a king executed, and nations sundered to vindicate those rights. And in virtually all those conflicts, a government’s systemically denying its citizens’ due process rights was at the conflict’s heart.
The British freemen’s right to due process of law appeared first in the Magna Carta of 1215, when the tyrant King John was imprisoning men and extorting their lands and possessions. That same right to due process of law appeared in writing again as a right of all English citizens in the Petition of Right of 1628 when Charles I was imprisoning and even executing men, not for any crime, but to take their lands and estates. Due Process of law was reaffirmed as an Englishman’s right in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 after the English deposed James I for dispensing with those rights and ruling as a tyrant.
In 1761, King George III began to deny the colonists many aspects of due process of law. By 1775, George III’s refusal to honor the Americans’ rights led to the American Revolution. After the Revolution, America’s Founders wrote “due process of law” into both the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. It appears generally in the 5th Amendment and specifically as to component parts of due process in the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.
Due process is at our republic’s very foundation and is indispensable to our nation’s functioning. Take away “due process of law,” and there is nothing to stop government tyranny and criminality. There is nothing to stop our own versions of history’s Mao, Stalin, Robespierre, and Charles I. We see it in the currently unstoppable Alvin Bragg, Juan Merchan, and the rogue’s gallery of others plotting lawfare to de facto overthrow our republic.
The Mechanics of Due Process of Law
Much of the U.S. Constitution is not an explanatory text. It is written in shorthand, with references to things that were well-known in law and culture when the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights were ratified. Thus, when the 5th Amendment says no one “shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law,” every American understood that to mean the sum of those procedures that American and English courts followed in 1791.
It helps to think of due process of law in two prongs. The first prong is the procedures the government must follow. They are characterized by ensuring that a large number of people come to an objective agreement that a crime occurred and that the defendant committed the crime. This prong guards against any one government actor acting out of wrongful motive, whether it be avarice, vengeance, or political gain.
The second prong is the information and rights that the government must make available to the defendant to ensure he has an adequate defense against the government’s overwhelming power. This includes telling him the crimes for which he is charged, allowing him to hear the evidence against him, and allowing him to present a defense, including the right to cross-examine witnesses.
The federal and state governments all have their own laws defining procedural due process of law. They’re very similar, with some minor local variations. As a general matter, when a law-enforcement officer proposes to arrest someone, the officer must meet with a prosecutor and show the evidence. Only if the prosecutor agrees that the putative defendant violated a valid law does the prosecutor present those facts to a Grand Jury.
If the Grand Jury returns an indictment, the prosecutor refers the matter to a magistrate who reviews the charges and, if they’re legally sufficient, issues a warrant to arrest. By this point, the process has involved twenty or more people, all of whom have had a chance to see the evidence and weigh the prosecutor’s decision.
After arrest, the defendant must be brought before a court, where the exact charges are read against him in front of a neutral magistrate. The defendant then has several additional due process rights to ensure that he is treated fairly, including the right to trial by a jury of his peers.
The government must produce evidence at the trial, and it is the government, seeking to take away the defendant’s life, liberty, or property, that has the burden of proof of guilt (rather than the defendant having to prove the negative, which is his innocence). A neutral judge must preside fairly over the trial.
At trial’s end, only after the jury has heard all the facts and after watching the defendant confront his accusers, then, and only then, if the jury approves the charges based on the facts can government invade the defendant’s God-given rights to life, liberty, and property.
Donald Trump’s trial in NYC has been an obscene mockery of Due Process. It is criminally and blatantly unconstitutional:
[Per AT, McCarthy, Turley] DA Bragg charged Trump with accounting fraud (a misdemeanor) done intentionally to hide a second crime. At no point before trial did Bragg inform Trump what the second crime was that he was alleged to have committed. No one, whether in 2024 New York City, Charles I’s Star Chamber, or a televised show trial from the Soviet Union, can possibly defend against hidden crimes.
[Per McCarthy, Turley, Shugerman] It gets worse. At the trial, DA Bragg is alleging a second crime of “conspiracy” (hiding information) that was not in the indictment, and that does not apply to the alleged facts of the case.
[Per Whitaker] Judge Merchan, overseeing the trial, is not a disinterested party to these proceedings. His daughter is a Democrat fundraiser making millions of dollars thanks to this particular criminal trial.
[Per The New York Post] Judge Merchan has not merely allowed this trial to proceed under these outrageous circumstances, but he is allowing DA Bragg to spend days bringing in irrelevant evidence about Trump’s alleged affair with Karen McDougal. The law in all American jurisdictions makes this type of evidence impermissible because it invites a jury to convict for acts other than the crime charged. It is classic judicial and prosecutorial misconduct. Indeed, it was for just such acts that New York’s highest court recently vacated Harvey Weinstein’s conviction.
This case—its timing and the sum of its irregularities—has no chance of surviving an appellate review, even if a rabid progressive jury convicts Trump for being Trump. This case is designed solely to have an immediate impact on the 2024 election.
Make no mistake, this is a civil war battle, only it’s fought with a quill instead of a sword. Its existential ramifications for our nation are no less serious. What’s happening is a blatantly unlawful attempt to disenfranchise over half this nation and, by setting a precedent that sees Republicans exist below the ancient protections of due process, it threatens our nation with disunion at best.
Properly understood, these are acts of seditious conspiracy and treason meant to be felt throughout the United States. As such, Judge Merchan, Alvin Bragg, and all their cohorts need to be arrested and tried in the heartland of our nation. Let them face America. If convicted, they need to be punished to the maximum extent allowed by law.

The Gutless Old Party
When I’m sometimes foolish enough to state a political view while out in public -- you can’t be held in jail without bail for talking about January 6, can you? -- the person I’m speaking with typically responds, “Oh, so you must be a Republican!”
And I laugh heartily, and shake my head no.
The Democrats may very well want to off unborn babies; encourage adolescents to lop off their breasts or penises; counsel African-Americans to expect financial reparations from Whitey as penitence for past offenses; allow any Tom, Dick or Juan to waltz into this country unvetted, possibly unemployable, and potentially criminal; convince anxious middle schoolers that the Earth is doomed; and staunchly support all the vile college brats and anti-Semitic educators advocating for the extermination of Israel, I say.
But at least they have the courage of their conviction.
The GOP, or “Gutless Old Party,” as I call them, is the biggest bunch of overpaid, overstuffed wussies since Ghostbusters: Answer the Call.
They promise to fight the people trying to burn our country down to the ground, and then go paws up the next time the corrupt, lawless FBI asks for permission to continue spying on Donald Trump and his supporters without a warrant.
They run for office on reducing government spending, and then agree with every absurd, wasteful, and unaffordable -- considering we’re the most indebted country in world history by a considerable margin -- Democrat-sponsored giveaway.
Think of Republicans as beta-Democrats in sheep’s clothing.
Democrats will fight, riot, lie, cheat, steal, and collude to win. They’ll sic the feds on Americans with the wrong thoughts, the IRS on folks of the wrong political party, provide the media with the official government-approved message, and make it ridiculously easy to cheat electorally while importing millions of new voters from abroad.
GOP politicians, on the other hand, harrumph loudly, demand investigations, send subpoenas that are promptly ignored, and send sternly, I tell you, sternly worded letters.
What a bunch of poseurs and clowns.
I can see why weak-minded people flock to the Democrat party. They’re the strong horse. The GOP, although I agree with most of their professed views, exudes weakness.
Let’s take a trip down Gutless Old Party Lane, shall we?
Recall the photo of a smiling George W. Bush in 2017 -- who actively opposed candidate, president (R), and citizen Donald J. Trump -- laughing it up with his good buddies Slick Willie and Barry O. at the President’s Cup. Yes, that’s “Dubya” who, when he wasn’t mangling the English tongue or starting two deadly, costly, and ultimately fruitless wars, was more than happy when the time came to drop his conservative beliefs and mosey on over to the other side.
And how ‘bout Sen. John McCain? McCain ran for office on the Republican platform of abolishing Obamacare. Still, despite being terminal with a brain tumor, McCain revealed himself to be just another slithery operator, as he single-handedly saved Obamacare and gave President Trump and every single Republican voter one final middle finger.
Speaking of spineless, failed GOP candidates for president, how ‘bout M. Pierre Delecto?
Can you imagine a Democrat senator voting to impeach a Democrat president under any circumstance? No?
Me neither.
But Ol’ Mittens, who was perhaps the progenitor of Obamacare in his time in Massachusetts, was more than happy to throw the president of his own party under the bus, further buttressing Democrat claims that Romney purposely left his dog on top of his car during a road trip. Whether he’s abusing dogs or Republican presidents, M. Delecto clearly can’t be trusted.
And who was a bigger turncoat than Obama-supporting Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (D-FOX)? That’s right, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy gave in to the opposition at every opportunity, he put the “less” into spineless, he would have easily been the most supine Republican House Speaker of all time until his removal gave us ... Mike Johnson.
Let’s face it, when your GOP street-fightin’, lib-slaying, ‘Merica-saving hero looks suspiciously like Chris Hayes, you’ve got a problem.
Little Mikey wasted no time giving in to aid for the unwinnable war in Ukraine, comfort to the plotters in the FBI, and absolutely no protection for our Southern border as promised. How would a Democrat Speaker of the House be any different?
And who can forget the pathetic efforts, travails, and absurd recusal of President Trump’s first attorney general, Jeff Sessions?
No one? Anyone?
Bueller?
Seriously, could you be a bigger wimp? Of course, the answer to that is yes!
Attorney General Bill Barr (R-Dunkin’s) was a much bigger wimp. Like his waistline, his promises were big -- he vowed to get to the bottom of the Clinton/DNC/FBI Russia collusion Scam -- but his results were, sadly, small.
He and his pal John Durham, the guy with the bad goatee, did a wonderful job covering up an orchestrated coup against a sitting president. No one was charged, no one was punished, no one lost their pension, and Barr’s Democrat masters no doubt heartily approved.
But, could there be an even more ginormous GOP fraud than Bill Barr? (Hint: Yet another pathetic Republican presidential candidate.)
Mais oui! Chris Christie, waddle on down!
When not skating on charges of purposely tying up traffic on the George Washington Bridge to settle political scores -- a capital offense in this former New Yorker’s mind -- or single-handedly filling up a Jersey shore beach during the COVID lockdowns that mere commoners were forbidden to attend, Christie misses no opportunity to diss the most conservative, pro-life president and candidate in my lifetime. Recall the photo of Christy Kreme hugging Barry O. and tell me Christy’s not the biggest RHINO, er . . . RINO, of them all.
No, the GOP is truly gutless. They help to expel a sketchy Republican House member, George Santos, while Democrat Bob Menendez continues to flourish, and numerous Democrat reps call for the total annihilation of Israel.
They investigate the corrupt, dried-up vegetable in the Oval Office and his conniving crackhead son, and somehow come up with absolutely nothing, knowing the despicable, lying mainstream media will totally obscure their fey pronouncements.
They send articles of impeachment to the Senate for the despicable Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, and Chuck Schumer simply tables them and laughs.
In response, the Republican senators, including Monsieur Delecto, do absolutely squat -- pardonnez ma Francais!
Frankly, the Gutless Old Party, the Democrat’s pretend opposition, seems to turn tail at every opportunity, they’re the Sir Robin of American politics. At present, they run away, away at every confrontation.
They allow their nominally Republican presidential candidate to be law-fared to death. And then look the other way while the media, academia, FBI, CIA, and DOJ all do their thing to take former president Trump down.
They allow the January 6 rioters to rot in jail while the mostly-peaceful BLM rioters look forward to further opportunities to break the law with impunity.
They support and fund the Deep State that would gladly jail President Trump, you, or me -- if only I could write clearly and powerfully enough.
They support budgets spending money we don’t have, on foreign wars we don’t need, and on pork that the GOP pretends they’re against.
They allow our Southern border to remain open; Jews, Christians, and white males to be openly discriminated against; MAGA supporters to be demonized for caring about our formerly great country; and mentally ill boys to beat up on girls in athletic competitions.
They pretend to represent us while becoming fabulously wealthy on dentist salaries.
The Gutless Old Party, huh, what is it good for?
In my mind, absolutely nothing.
