OPINION:
Thinking about the tragic events undermining America, it’s time for straight talk.
For example, the Minnesota “peaceful demonstrators” shown in the news are paid low-level foot soldiers, mere pawns. Behind-the-scenes leaders, foreign and domestic, are dedicated to attacking the pillars of our nation to undermine America.
Four elements are destroying our country: election fraud, Federal Reserve runaway spending, an out-of-control Congress and illegal immigration.
The 2020 election was not the first time cheating occurred, but it did result in the loss of a Republican president for four years. COVID-19 was unleashed, causing widespread fear, there was a flood of fake mail-in ballots, and electronic voting machines were hacked. The truth is finally emerging.
Reform of Congress is long overdue. People are seeing that election fraud creates installed (not elected) members of Congress who serve for decades while becoming millionaires on congressional salaries. Term limits, anyone?
Runaway spending shows that Congress and the Fed are joined at the hip, not bothering to link tax revenue with budgets. Spending deficits go back to 1971, when President Nixon detached the dollar from gold, creating an inflationary flood of fiat money.
After the 2016 election of Donald Trump, those who were undermining America (the deep state) feared reform. They shifted into high gear by opening our borders, letting in millions of unvetted illegal aliens. Census counts that include illegals in blue state cities would increase the Democratic population, creating more congressional districts and ensuring Democratic Party control forever.
