The raid on President Trump’s home on August 8 by more than 30 armed FBI agents over something not clearly defined has set a new precedent. Never in the history of our country did a president raid the home of his predecessor and potential rival in the next presidential election. The search warrant was issued by a former defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein’s employee-turned-federal magistrate, and whose prior Facebook comments clearly showed a bias against President Trump. His warrant and the heavily redacted affidavit used to justify the warrant are highly suspect, especially considering President Trump’s cooperation with the National Archives. Initially, Biden denied he knew of the raid ahead of its execution, but it has now come to light that Biden was the one who authorized the raid on his political opponent. Americans are rightfully asking whether the FBI is now Biden’s personal Gestapo.
As I write this, in a speech in Maryland to supporters, Biden declared, “You MAGA right-wingers will need a lot more than guns to fight this government; you will need F-15s.”
What a shameful, ominous display of goading and threats this is from a man who considers half of this country his enemy.
Is Biden now threatening to use the military against his own population? Does the FBI, whose role it is to protect us from the enemy, now consider fellow Americans the enemy? Words have power, and as Biden and his administration continue to refer to Trump supporters as “white nationalists” and “semi-fascists,” it is eerily reminiscent of Hitler’s and Goebel’s tactical use of language to dehumanize Jews. The dehumanization of Jews was used as a justification for their elimination. Considering the last seven years of persecution against President Trump and his associates, it is reasonable to ask if millions of Trump supporters will be next.
Significantly, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg openly admitted on Joe Rogan’s podcast that the FBI specifically asked Facebook to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story — and Facebook went along with it. According to one poll, some 47 percent of voters — including 71 percent of Democrats — stated that they would have changed their vote had they known the laptop story was not disinformation.
In essence, the FBI altered the outcome of a presidential election and, in the process, harmed democracy. Justice demands redress, but do we risk arrest for challenging the results of an election in which the FBI and a huge social media company clearly interfered? Will normal people be hounded by the newly hired 87,000 armed IRS agents or FBI agents?
When a former president is treated as the enemy, when his supporters are labeled “white nationalists,” when parents are declared “domestic terrorists,” and censorship is employed throughout the country, we may no longer be living in a constitutional republic.
