How the Mar-a-Lago Raid Escalates the War on Wrongthink
The unprecedented gambit is part and parcel of a legal, political, and psychological warfare operation by a regime hostile toward the half of the country that disapproves of it
In Its War On Trump And Wrongthink, The Regime Just Delivered A Death Blow To Rule Of Law
The unprecedented raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is a major escalation in the regime’s war on “wrongthink.”
How else are we to interpret the descending of the regime’s praetorian guard on the home of its reportedly cooperating greatest critic, under a pretextual search warrant authorizing a fishing expedition, three months before a midterm election likely to serve as a rebuke of the regime and enhance the standing of its greatest foe?
The raid should be seen not only as a Rubicon-crossing moment in terms of the death of the rule of law under the guise of upholding it and the weaponization of the national security apparatus against its political opposition, but as part of a legal, political, and psychological warfare operation by a regime hostile toward the half of the country that disapproves of it.
There are several levels on which this assault is poised to play out.
I explore them in a new piece at The Federalist.
As I write in part:
…perhaps most insidious will be the effort by the regime, already begun, to cast itself as the victim of the raid rather than the aggressor, and to use its victimhood status to persecute its political opponents ever more viciously.
…Hence the pronounced effort in the immediate aftermath of the raid to focus on how it unleashed a reported torrent of threatening rhetoric on social media. None other than Daniel J. Jones, the former Sen. Dianne Feinstein staffer who played a central role in the Russiagate and post-Russiagate information efforts, was the key source of corporate media outlets in analyzing this rhetoric.
The regime and its media mouthpieces will hang the rantings and ravings of anonymous users on digital platforms and any violence by rogue actors that can in any way remotely be associated with Trump around the neck of the tens of millions of peaceful and patriotic Americans who support Trump or, at the least, oppose leftist overreach.
The regime has cleverly cast its critics as posing the most lethal to the homeland by intentionally conflating their dissenting views with “racial or ethnic animus” and/or “anti-government or anti-authority” sentiments. So it will use the furor over the Mar-a-Lago raid to further pursue them under a National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism explicitly aimed at them.
Expect greater social media censorship, de-platforming, and de-banking of political undesirables. The effort to push a de facto, if not de jure, social credit system within America will likely only accelerate.
And what should we expect between now and Nov. 8 from law enforcement bodies that have used assets to concoct plots to kidnap governors and entrap people in the run-up to elections as recently as one cycle ago? Such gambits, along with accusations of widespread domestic threat inflation from FBI whistleblowers, speak for themselves.
