The Coup We Never Knew
'After a short vacation it is time to catch up.'
**Did someone or something seize control of the United States\
By: Victor Davis Hanson
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 borrowed 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 of dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had
granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pol-
lution, 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 develop-
ment 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 ef-
forts to affect their rulings? How then, and 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 cam-
paign of a candidate it disliked? Was it suddenly legal 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 revolution-
ary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional
session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures? No, of
course not.
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? And today, the current
administration (Biden) is blaming former President Trump for that
disaster!
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 under oath with impunity?
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? How did that happen in America?
How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns
rob us of our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited
our collective madness?
We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare of a country we
no longer recognize, and from a coup we neither knew about nor
recognized.**
The obvious thing is that Mr. Hanson has asked many relevant
questions as to how the corrupt DOJ, Media, and Biden Dark money
could be allowed to bypass the Constitution.
Faith in God will surely eventually expose all the rampant
corruption.
Conservatively,
