THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES
How do we try to portray what is happening in our culture and political scene today? On the left it is by spin, prevarication and indoctrination. Many of us feel that truth is a beautiful thing. There is a big difference between seeing reality from a positive, hopeful perspective and simply lying about current happenings and their implications.
The methods of indoctrination have emboldened the radical left to seize and hold power in the United States. They are now utilized to stop discussion of electoral fraud. According to pollitical correctness, electoral fraud may not be investigated, it may not be discussed, its existence may not be suggested in political discussion.
Elegy for Ashli Babbit
Ashli Babbitt, patriot not well known,
Gave her life with that pure heart she had shown
When with the Air Force was four times deployed.
Of country love was she never devoid.
Vocally and through service her love showed
That could not in her flagged backpack be stowed.
In her President she believed as well,
And admired him more than she could tell.
He loved his country too, she was quite sure,
Although she could not claim he was demure.
Neither he nor she would socialists empower.
Our freedoms were the watchword of the hour.
Ashli saw how his re-election failed,
Which all democrats splendidly regaled,
Through rank corruption victory was won
For a fossil more corrupt than his son.
During these sad days the pandemic raged,
It demanded, swore democrats with glee,
Mail-in ballots would ensure victory.
After the election our Ashli saw
The news broadcasts the media would not show.
Fox News revealed the evidence quite vast
That left the honest thoroughly aghast.
The media corrupt claimed ceaselessly
“There was no proof” of fraud quite fearlessly.
It was Joe Biden’s “big lie” repeated
Until falsehood is in minds well seated.
Unlike the courts, including the Supreme,
Fox News considered what witnesses scream.
Fox did reveal the manner of the theft –
An election night of all honor bereft.
Officials, politicians and judges
In Democratic states with their grudges,
Stole the election with crudest of means,
Audacious and bold in unlikely scenes.
These were not random, harmless simple noise,
Nay! Coordination that justice destroys!
Gangsters injected ballots illegal,
Placing Joe on a throne high and regal.
Some ballots arrived as gifts from the dead,
Illegal ‘truckloads’ arrived, their drivers said.
Many witnesses saw and testified
Fraudulent manipulation – verified!
Ashli heard of many election rules
Violated brazenly by crass fools.
Thus were counted many illegal ballots
That suited well crooked counter palates.
Other counters and observers, horrified,
Took an oath on what they then certified.
Ashli would have read how voting machines,
Actually, applied computers run routines
As programmers may choose such to prepare,
Producing results, as desired, with care.
One can choose even the final outcome
By a margin’s pre-specified tedium.
Inspired, but tired, by programs in the news,
Ashli could find, online, more of such views.
Evidence in greatest abundance there
Would validate the crimes Fox had laid bare.
Unlawful ballots counted once were stacked
And counted once again as false as hacked.
Without an audit the fraud to dispel
A recount was quite meaningless as well.
Ashli apparently believed ‘twas time.
Patriots must band together against crime
And follow their elected President.
‘Twould be right to go where they might be sent.
An advocate of law and order’s sense,
Condemning arson, looting, violence.
Ashli, one with her President’s approach,
Would raise her voice, not weapons, in reproach.
Their plan was to “fight” vocally for truth,
Raising voices hopefully not uncouth.
Elected was each representative,
A servant of the public, service to give.
Patriots would “peacefully” walk the mall’s space,
Down to the capitol to plead their case.
They took no weapons; their plan was to use
Their citizenship voices and none to abuse.
To insist their servants should at this time
Investigate this gross election crime.
Before the congress certified this farce,
Methods and results some earthly force must parse.
The capitol march by some beat the crowd
And John Earl Sullivan, Antifa proud,
A leader of violence, hired that date
By CNN agents: “Take photos and hate!”
John intervened with more aggressive youth,
Inciting behavior not at all couth.
Ashli was among these, emotions stirred,
Perhaps the time had come for what she’d heard.
“Perhaps we must now take our country back.
Our courage and our will must not now slack.”
Sullivan roused the mostly right wing crowd,
Who, unlike police, were not with arms endowed.
Some told the officers, “You have the guns,
Would you shoot us down whom the congress shuns?”
Some let protesters pass, showed them around
This was the people’s house, this was their ground.
Ashli and a small group of activists,
One might gain audience if one persists!
The emotion of the moment was strong,
To force entry was most certainly wrong.
Then Ashli’s small group sought to breach a door
To a hall right outside the speaker’s floor.
With a helmet the door’s window was smashed
Ashli was quick. To the window she dashed.
While she climbed to the frame a black man moved
From behind a wall where he’d disapproved
Of forced entry. A barricade he’d made
Mostly of stacked chairs – the mob must be stayed!
From the door’s far side the black man approached
Armed with a gun, determined and well coached
He fired at point blank range, struck Ashli’s throat.
She fell from the window, the floor she smote.
Did the vigilante watch her tragedy?
Did he see her pain, her shock and agony?
Those around Ashley could have had no doubt,
Her life was ebbing, she was bleeding out.
Spirit daughter of the Divine, so fair,
How needless your demise and our despair.
Here a media lie was to emerge.
The shooter’s name the media would purge.
An officer he was alleged to be
Of the Capitol Police, immediately
Placed on administrative leave, said to be,
By whom was not revealed, of censure free.
He’d acted in all protocols applied,
Should/would not for any offense be tried.
One newspaper overlooked this narrative
Scores of local papers hastened to give
The shooter was not an officer as claimed.
In video, in street clothes he was seen.
Hired he was, to provide as readers glean,
A senator’s personal security,
Which he could do with utmost surety.
Thus was he nearby ere protesters appeared.
With good will, he sought to protect the revered
From this “invasion” poor Ashli was in.
He locked and blocked hallway doors from within,
Stacking chairs to reinforce those large doors.
Then stood he still behind a wall to watch.
When Ashli climbed into the window frame,
Our black vigilante stepped out and took aim,
He fired then a single shot at close range.
Neither armed nor dangerous was she. Strange
That he could have taken one more quick stride
And physic’lly have pushed her back outside.
Apparently his barrier’s violation
Was imminent. He must defend his station!
He acted definitively to stop them.
Ashli had come to speak, by hearing met.
She was unarmed –to the shooter no threat.
The media and the police involved
Believed that misinformation resolved
More problems than transparency could aid.
This was an insurrection’s ghastly raid –
So was the narrative tacitly achieved –
Armed rebellion against rulers aggrieved
A martyr for protesters some might praise,
And this vigilante questions would raise.
Was he recruited? Was he deputized
In the heat of Capitol breach improvised
To become an armed, human shield
To protect our trembling congressmen kneeled?
That is certainly doubtful; more likely
It would seem he acted as vigilante.
What might the result have been one would ask
Had the black man been at the window task,
And shot by a white police officer.
One wonders just what police protocol
Claims a veteran heroine should thus fall.
One journalist has reminded us all
One must be cautious; females may attack
The elected agents who have our back.
We recall Mitt Romney suffered the same.
In an airport a woman approached him,
A question she had, asked to reproach him.
He commanded her at once to withdraw,
No Covid mask had she – serious flaw
In a public place. She wanted to ask
So she put on a mask to perform the task.
She asked. His rather flippant answer came
As he rose, his back turned to her (to shame),
Becoming ambulatory to leave.
That this I must report I sorely grieve.
‘Twas then as he left, she launched her assault,
Hurling at him in a voice to insult,
Somewhat louder than a whisper, “You are pathetic!”
His departure showed he is athletic.
BLM and Antifa
Contrast the difference between the past year of violence, looting, arson, chanting, and hatred of the leftist “youth” movement with their support from leftist politicians and the right, which also includes some extremists. But the time is apparently approaching when it may become necessary to fight for freedom in the literal sense. The founding fathers wanted the right to hold and bear arms for the populace to assure that some dictator would not take power and erase the freedoms of individual Americans.
With the polished techniques of election theft, it is to be expected that unless some measures are taken to change the precedents of the 2020 election, the Democratic Party will continue to hold power in all branches of government.
The interesting thing to watch in American politics now is simply how rapidly the radical left will take complete control of the Democratic Party. They will accept nothing less and the “moderate” democrats have been perfectly willing to enter into an alliance with socialists to regain the powers of governance. What they have failed to recognize, being unfamiliar with the nature of socialist societies, is that the socialists will at the first opportunity attempt to eliminate them as surely as they silence the political right on their way to a one-party, totalitarian state.
