[Hat Tip John Fredricks, for the meeting particulars]  The Forsyth County, Georgia, republican party held a meeting to discuss why their senate candidates failed to win the run-off election in January.  The screenshot of their justification is a case study in why the republican apparatus fails, and why the challenge to reform the party is so difficult.

First, it is important to filter through what is described as the “Tea Party” support base within the professional republican apparatus.  Genuine Tea Party outlooks are in total alignment with the MAGA perspectives of Donald Trump.  However, there are elements within the republican party that are more traditionally GOPe-minded and yet assign themselves to the outlook of the Tea Party. There is a difference, but more on that in a moment.  Here’s how the Forsyth County political activists are explaining:

Notice, the Forsyth County GOP blame-cast against the base of voters by identifying people they view as outside the party interest.  They blame libertarians, populists, Trump, Steve Bannon, John Fredricks and even the candidates themselves which includes Doug Collins for being too outside the base of voter enthusiasm.  This view tells us what the mindset of the internal republican network in Forsyth County is !!

Do not just dismiss their justification as presented.  CTH warned in 2014 and 2015 this ideological outlook, this disconnect from the reality of the base, would lead to a big problem…. and it has.  I shall provide a concrete example below of just how dangerous this fracture is within our constitutional republic.  The reason we need more trumpet.

As a person who has traveled extensively in the past decade+ to engage the base of middle-class support that represents MAGA, I can attest that the disconnect between the republican party apparatus and the base of voters they depend on is a severe problem. Without correction… there is no alternative other than to create a THIRD party.

Giving the Chinese, Iranian and Russian state police a run for their money… Apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation, ie. the U.S. version of “State Police” enforcement units, have found a cause they are really committed to: finding every person who attended the Capitol Hill protests on January 6, 2021. [SEE HERE]

In a scene straight out of Orwell’s 1984 warning, the FBI is literally calling their effort the hunt for “America’s Most Wanted.”  To achieve their goal, the FBI has been asking for help from their ideological comrades in the state run media apparatus, and achieving a great deal of success. [SEE HERE]

[Tweet Link] In a new twist to find actionable legal violations for which the activist DOJ can bring charges, the FBI is now seeking help to identify: “individuals who targeted members of the media for assault, threats, destruction of property, and other unlawful conduct.”  Yes, the Biden DOJ is using “Assault on Media” as a criminal charge.

It is not accidental this same FBI turned a blind eye to terrorist warnings around attacks in San Bernardino, Boston Marathon, Parkland High School, Garland Texas, Fort Hood, Pulse Nightclub, Mandalay Bay Vegas, etc. etc… the list is long.  However, some random folks petitioning congress to air grievances is considered domestic terrorism worthy of thousands of FBI agents and innumerable man hours just to hunt down dissenters.  [Look at the Arrest List]

• 50 FBI Agents assigned to the Trump Russia collusion investigation…
• 13 FBI Agents assigned to investigate a NASCAR garage door pull-down rope…
• And now…
• Who can even fathom how many FBI agents are assigned to this task…

The first amendment prohibits congress from passing any laws that would inhibit free speech and the freedom of the press.  However, in the era of advanced Marxism and Democrat fascism their inability to use laws to block speech is seen as a problem.

To solve the problem the U.S. congress is now asking cable news providers: Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox and Altice to initiate a new system to block speech the DEMOCRAT FASCISTS do not agree with.

The same congressional committee members also sent the letter to Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google and Hulu, digital companies that distribute cable programming and raising the stakes if they do not comply.  Thereby once again proving the case that Democrats are party of state controlled censorship.

(New York Times) […] In advance of the Wednesday hearing, called “Fanning the Flames: Disinformation and Extremism in the Media,” members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter…

[…] “To our knowledge, the cable, satellite and over-the-top companies that disseminate these media outlets to American viewers have done nothing in response to the misinformation aired by these outlets,” two Democratic representatives from California, Anna G. Eshoo and Jerry McNerney, wrote in the letter, which was reviewed by The New York Times.

Senior Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the dangerous immigration policy of JoeBama and the next steps in President Trump’s future working on the MAGA agenda.  Ms. Bartiromo discusses the 3,500+ border apprehensions daily along the Texas, Arizona and Southern California border area.

Mr. Miller noted he has been in recent conversations with President Trump (likely speech writing instructions), about the outline for the upcoming speech the people’s president will deliver to the CPAC audience next Sunday.

Senator Ron Johnson appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the upcoming senate pantomime under the auspices of a review of the events around the Capitol Hill breech and security threat.  Johnson is useless.

Next week the senate is expected to hold hearings about the January 6th DC protests that ended with a breach of the Capitol Hill building and chambers of congress.  Democrats want to keep using the 1/6/21 protest as an excuse to justify their newly installed fencing, barbed-wire and security perimeter which includes U.S. military troops.

In the bigger picture the hearings serve to deflect attention away from the fraud in mail-in ballots during the 2020 election by focusing attention away from the issue.  The democrats are attempting to label those who would question the election results as “insurrectionists”.

The hearing schedule around the 1/06/21 protests is an orchestrated effort at narrative engineering to keep attention away from the illegitimacy of a Biden administration.  Meanwhile the quisling GOPe politicians cower in their offices, provide no push-back and worry they will be labeled as extremists by the leftist-media and democrat politicians.

After some mixed considerations about attending this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC, President Trump is apparently going to speak to the audience on Sunday February 28th.  Without a doubt this will be one of the most anticipated speeches of this year….

(Fox News) Former President Trump will make his first major public appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) conference later this month, Fox News has learned.

Traditionally held outside of Washington, D.C., the 2021 CPAC conference will kick off in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday.  Trump will be talking about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Also, look for the 45th president to take on President Biden’s “disastrous amnesty and border policies,” according to a source familiar with Trump’s speech.

Trump has stayed relatively quiet since leaving the White House on Jan. 20 for his Mar-a-lago resort in Florida and after Twitter banned him from the social media platform after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.  But Trump has indicated he wants to stay politically active and told his supporters after his impeachment acquittal the MAGA movement is still going strong.

Posted without commentary. There is great truth here… Follow the link:

BRENT HAMACHEK – […] For those of us who still believe in and embrace the ideas of our founding, for those who believe that the individual and their liberty are of paramount importance and prime value, for those of us who believe that free market capitalism is the most moral and just system for organizing economic activity, we need to have an epiphany. We need to awaken to the reality that we are not a majority. We are not a vocal minority with the same rights as the majority. We are now dissidents. We do not have the same voice as our ever-strengthening oppressors, and we do not have the same rights that they enjoy.

For those who might argue that there more of us, or at least as many of us, who believe in individual liberty and free market capitalism than there are opponents to same, I would suggest that you should not confuse a simple head count with total political atomic mass. The positions within society that our opponents hold and the institutions and machinery they control gives them leverage beyond simple membership numbers.

As to our being cast in the role of dissidents, we have no choice. How we conduct ourselves in that role will be the difference between having a chance over the long term to ultimately prevail or having to spend a century or more under the totalitarian’s thumb. We need to understand the role we are in, the most effective course of action we can take, and above all, we must understand and accept our limitations. A failure to understand and accept the latter will only deepen and prolong our subjugation.  (read more)

In this podcast, at the 24:00 minute mark, Lara Trump hints that President Trump will again run for the presidency in 2024: “People are going to come out in full force if he runs again in 2024; which, stay tuned, I think he may.”   WATCH:

Strategically, I hope President Trump does run again – even if he doesn’t want to – for two reasons: (1) Because President Trump will plow the field and destroy the GOPe nominee, likely Nikki Haley; and (2) because even if 45 does not really want the nomination, his participation, and subsequent endorsement, will determine the winner.

That approach would essentially be President Trump running again just to crush the beltway and then select the nominee within the field that will be the future of MAGA.

..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..  ~Sam Adams

The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.” When people lead, the politicians are forced to follow. Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power. None.

The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power.  Yes, it really is that simple.  WATCH:

Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear. As soon as We The People are no longer fearful, the control ends.

The Washington Examiner notes today that President Trump has been invited to attend the annual CPAC convention (Conservative Political Action Conference).  However, as long-term CTH readers will note, we hold no positive opinion on CPAC.

I would question if the time has come to conclude CPAC is a gathering of the same institutional political types that got us into this mess.  Y’all know my answer to that question has existed for seven years: CPAC is an assembly of fraud and abuse.

In their effort to be politically correct (aka culturally Marxist) the list of people who have been banned from CPAC is long.  Robert Spencer, Pam Geller, Milo, and now Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, GA).  Any strong voice who has taken on the leftist movement in the U.S. (without regard for the nonsense rules espoused by the Alinsky community) has been ostracized from the conservative conference.

CPAC has, in essence, become a place where the establishment GOP dictates whose voice is permitted and who is essentially too deplorable to be heard.  Yes, there are some strong voices that show up, including President Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Nigel Farage, Michelle Malkin, and other axe swinging wolverines who are deep in the fight.  However, the brutally honest point is things have changed…..

There should be new rules and a new confrontational attitude if we are going to save this republic.  CPAC and the pinkie raised champagne toasts just ain’t cutting it.  We are on the damn precipice, and the CPAC crew act like reaching across the aisle is a possible way to avoid the gallows.   This is a cycle of abuse we can no longer tolerate. We will not survive.
