We Have Met the Enemy and We are Theirs

---

I have paraphrased the words of Commodore Oliver Perry after he won the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812: “We have met the enemy and he is ours.” Many of you may have thought I paraphrased Walt Kelly’s 1970s Pogo character. Surprise! As I write this, at best the Senate will be a 50 – 50 split again, and with the mysterious slow counting of the votes for the remaining House seats, it would not surprise me if the Marxist Democrats end up holding the majority in the House. It appears the 2022 midterm election is just as fishy as the 2020 general election.

Who is the enemy? The enemy of patriotic Americans and the individual states is the United States Federal government

We have met the enemy and we are theirs. Who is the enemy? The enemy of patriotic Americans and the individual states is the United States Federal government. They now own us. They have developed a profession career ruling class composed of every corrupt professional politician, every corrupt political staff person, and the corrupt members of every federal bureaucracy. This corrupt system receives unlimited domestic and foreign money to keep this corrupt system running like the well-oiled machine that it is. The domestic and international moneyed oligarchs own America’s federal government. America is suffering under the tyranny of a bipartisan ruling class, exacerbated by the Marxist Biden administration.

"The very definition of tyranny is when all powers are gathered under one place." ~ James Madison

Because the Republican and Democrat Party political machines totally control the election process in America, they own responsibility for the fact that the election process after the 2020 election debacle was not corrected. Do you doubt me? Why are the voting problems this time in the same locations as in 2020? Is vote counting rocket science? Of course not! Las Vegas, Nevada tabulates 10s of millions of dollars every day, yet Clark County couldn’t count a few million votes. Give me a break! Do you believe the voters in Pennsylvania really elected a brain damaged, former mayor without a little behind the scene help? The world isn’t that upside down yet.

To fix a problem first requires a desire to fix the problem

To fix a problem first requires a desire to fix the problem. The “good ol’ boy” political machines don’t have such a desire. The enemy is headquartered inside the Washington D.C. Beltway Bubble, but they have tentacles stretching right down to the local political organizations. The only goal is to control and maintain power over the American People. The machines are perfectly happy with their Kabuki theater that results in alternating the balance of power back and forth. While the professional politicians may be happy with the current system, more than 70% of Americans think they are doing a crappy job. But alas, 50% of the voters didn’t show up to fire the poor performers at the voting booth, so we have the Congress we deserve. The bottom line is if we will not acknowledge the problem, we can’t possibly fix it. The problem was identified in 1787 in James Madison’s Federalist 10. Political parties and professional politicians of all stripes are the enemy of patriotic Americans. Are we ever going to face up to it? Are we ever going to gird up our loins and actually take action to cure the problem? The moneyed domestic and foreign oligarchs are betting that we won’t, and they can continue to own the American Congress. Are they right? Now to quote Walt Kelly’s version of Commodore Perry’s words: “We have met the enemy and he is us.” And that’s the truth as long as voters choose to sit on the sidelines and whine instead of voting. Freedom is a participation sport.
