John Wilder's Civil War Weather Report--The Silent Coup

 As most of you know, John Wilder publishes a monthly "Civil War 2.0 Weather Report" at his blog, Wilder Wealthy & Wise. His latest Weather Report still rests on 8: "Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology."

    His monthly assessment is based on several factors: Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. But he spends a relatively large space in this most recent report discussing the Silent Coup that has and is happening in the country. As he begins:

    Looking back at the last six years, it’s clear that there has been a silent coup.  The coup had its origins in the results of the 2016 election.  W, though just as demonized by the GloboLeft, played ball with the GloboLeftElite and was allowed to win, twice.

    Obama was firmly a GloboLeftElite candidate from the moment of his selection – he was always in the pocket of the Washington and New York elite, and got his unlikely public image with the help of a fawning press.

    Trump, however, broke the cycle.  A ¡JEB! would have been a fine candidate for the GloboLeftElite, but Trump took everyone by surprise.  They were so surprised by Trump’s victory that they weren’t able to cheat in time.  Hillary, who had been promised her shot, instead had to blame it on the Russians, who did buy something like a few hundred thousand dollars of Facebook® ads.

    Since 2016, the Silent Coup has been a full court press against Trump.

John summarizes the worst of the actions in which the Democrats and their minions have engaged, including the two recent assassination attempts. 

    "The assassination attempts were pure happenstance," some may gripe, arguing that the powerful leftist politicians currently running the country had nothing to do with the attempts on Trump's life. But is that true? In Lloyd Billingsley's Front Page Magazine article, "Who Exactly Runs the Country?," he observes:

    In recent months there have been two assassination attempts against former president and current candidate Donald Trump, one nearly succeeding. After the second attempt, Joe Biden appeared on “The View,” swatting the table after Whoopi Goldberg compared Trump to a bug. Also after the second assassination attempt, Biden’s commerce secretary Gina Raimondo appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and proclaimed “let’s extinguish him [Trump] for good.” Raimondo claimed she meant “vote him out,” but the language recalled the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan comparing Jews to “termites,” and everybody knew what he meant.

    According to coincidence theory, the assassination attempts are pure happenstance, and can have no relation to a Stalinist junta sending out signals to the Lee Harvey Oswalds and Ramon Mercaders now on the prowl. Under this junta, more assassination attempts on Trump, and violence against the people, would come as no surprise.

Others have pointed out the elimination rhetoric--including multiple claims that he is an existential threat--that Trump has endured since before the 2016 election and during the intervening years. 

    And there has been a coup. Billingsley points to the powerful wielded by communist politicians and bureaucrats; and he describes Biden's administration as a third term for Obama, assisted by  former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former CIA director John Brennan. "As the people should know," he writes, "Pelosi, Brennan and Obama all boast Stalinist connections."

    Billingsley cites Pulitzer Prize winning author and historian David Garrow:

    On Iran, for example, “Joe Biden is not running that part of his administration. Obama is. He doesn’t even have to pick up the phone because all of his people are already inside the White House.” And as the liberal Tablet editor explained, the control was far more extensive:

    “Brett McGurk. Dan Shapiro in Israel. Lisa Monaco in Justice. Susan Rice running domestic policy. It’s turtles all the way down. There are obviously large parts of White House policymaking that belong to Barack Obama because they’re staffed by his people, who worked for him and no doubt report back to him. Personnel is policy, as they say in Washington. Which to me is a very odd and kind of spooky arrangement. Spooky, because it is happening outside the constitutional framework of the U.S. government, and yet somehow it’s been placed off the list of permitted subjects to report on.”

And there is John Brennan who was "signatory to the letter of 51 'intelligence community' heavyweights, calling the Hunter Biden laptop 'Russian disinformation,' which he knew was untrue."

According to former CIA analyst John Gentry, author of Neutering the CIA: Why U.S. Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences, many intelligence officers have been involved in “anti-Trump activities.” And as the author notes:

    “The activism receded markedly after Joe Biden became president in 2021, making it even clearer that the politicization of intelligence was aimed at Trump. While it is in remission, the changes in the political culture of some IC agencies that triggered the attacks on Trump remain intact, available for reactivation in the event of another serious candidacy by Trump or the election of another Republican president.”

Unfortunately, it would continue under a Harris presidency. As Robert Orlando explains in his piece, "Kamala: ‘What Can Be, Unburdened by What Has Been’ — Is This Marxist Code?," the phrase is, indeed, rooted in Marxist ideology; particularly the belief that dismantling old beliefs and institutions was necessary to building a new social order. 

    Karl Marx critiqued capitalist society by arguing that history burdens the present. He believed that systems and institutions from the past—especially capitalism—oppressed the working class and perpetuated inequality. These structures maintained the power of the elite and kept the masses sub servient. Marx argued that true liberation could only happen by breaking these “chains.”

    Harris’s call to be “unburdened” reflects Marx’s view of history as a weight cast off and the capitalist state not as an imperfect entity but as a tool of oppression that protected the wealth and power of the elite. His revolutionary vision sought to dismantle these structures and create a society where all could thrive equally. While Harris may not explicitly endorse the Marxist revolution, her rhetoric suggests a desire to break free from historical constraints to achieve equity. 

    Her focus on “equity” over “equality” signals a fundamental ideological shift that mirrors Marxist principles. In traditional American discourse, equality means providing everyone with the same opportunities. Equity, conversely, focuses on guaranteeing equal outcomes, often enforcing political powers to achieve this goal.

Can reeducation camps be far behind?

    1. I think it was in the book, The 48 Laws of Power, that it stated that power was better than money, because you could have money but little power, but if you had power, you could control other people's money.
