James Howard Kunstler: Lawfare Is Jihad Against Our Country

It’s happening again…

From Zerohedge

This time around, 2024, Mr. Elias has done everything possible to ensure that millions of illegal aliens stuffed into swing states will have their putative identities attached to harvested mail-in ballots from addresses such as Walmart parking lots and storage units, and has filed lawsuits wherever a state threatens to require proof of citizenship for voting….

The lineup of the leading Lawfare attorneys are Jews: Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Benjamin Wittes, Andrew Weissmann, Michael Bromwich, Michael Sussmann, Lawrence Tribe, Daniel Goldman, Paul Rosenzweig, the exceptionally profligate serial liar Rep. Adam Schiff, and many others.Lawfare Is Jihad Against Our Country.”

Old Joke: what do you call a hundred thousand lawyers at the bottom of the sea?

Answer: A good start.

You think the bankers are up to no good? No band of scoundrels has brought more chaos and grief to the life of this republic than the claque that gathers darkly under the banner of “Lawfare.” Its public face is Lawfaremedia.org, run by Benjamin Wittes a Brookings senior fellow, but that gang functions only to lend a false-front of decorum to the operations of its Democratic Party activist lawyer-army led by Field Marshal Marc Elias, architect of the ballot fraud that has caused Americans to lose faith in their elections.

Marc Elias was the original expeditor of the RussiaGate hoax in 2016 from his perch at Perkins Coie, then Hillary Clinton’s campaign law firm, which laundered payments to Christopher Steele, front-man for Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS political PR shop, which concocted the fraudulent “dossier,” and set in motion a train of DC intel blob legal shenanigans aimed at defenestrating Donald Trump from the White House — the Mueller Investigation, impeachment, etc.

While all that was going on through the Trump term, and with the Covid-19 Op providing cover, Mr. Elias engineered the 2020 changes in many states’ election laws and bylaws to permit large-scale mail-in voting, organized ballot-harvesting activities, and the use of drop-boxes for receiving bundled votes. He and his George Soros-financed staff lawyers sued states that attempted to require voter-identification, and provided legal protection for Mark Zuckerberg’s $419-million-dollar assault on election precinct staffing in swing states. When the 2020 election concluded suspiciously, Mr. Elias and his gang joined lawsuits in every case where the balloting was contested and got more than sixty of them dismissed on the basis of “standing,” without the merits of the cases being heard. This is Lawfare.

This time around, 2024, Mr. Elias has done everything possible to ensure that millions of illegal aliens stuffed into swing states will have their putative identities attached to harvested mail-in ballots from addresses such as Walmart parking lots and storage units, and has filed lawsuits wherever a state threatens to require proof of citizenship for voting. He has also filed sixty peremptory lawsuits to obstruct attempts to audit any election count after November 5 — as if it is an affront to democracy to even ask questions about official misconduct.

A parallel Lawfare scam underway is the Democratic Party-sponsored 65 Project that seeks to disbar Trump-adjacent lawyers who attempt to challenge any voting irregularities in this year’s election. It’s mission statement reads:

The 65 Project is a bipartisan effort to protect democracy from these once-and-future abuses by holding accountable Big Lie Lawyers who bring fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results, and by working with bar associations to deter future abuses by establishing clear standards for conduct that punish lies about the conduct or results of elections.

Notice the term “Big Lie” to foreclose any inquiry at all into election fraud. That half the people in this country accept such an Orwellian con tells you the vital role played by the perversion of language in the Democratic Party’s war against the citizens of this land. Exactly who is to say, in advance of the event, that any objection to a vote count is fraudulent and malicious? Answer: the people who have maliciously committed fraud. The Democrats have been grooming the public for years with that phrase, the Big Lie, in exactly the same way that pedos groom innocent pubescents who accept the authority of any grown-up, no matter what debauchery they are subjected to.

It’s a tragic turn of fate for our country that the law, and language with it, have been turned into weapons for national suicide. The net result is a nation that can’t think straight anymore and cannot construct any coherent set of rules to live by. So we find ourselves in a society where stealing is no longer a crime, where border-jumping has been downgraded to a clerical error (“undocumented”), where little children are allowed to decide whether they are male or female, where speech that disagrees with the authorities agenda is “misinformation” subject to censorship and prosecution, where candidates for the highest office get selected “democratically” without any votes cast, and where you can be run-over and ruined financially in court by the bottomless legal resources of the Deep State for just speaking your mind.

Now I will tell you something that deeply troubles me and might trouble you. Forgive me if I throw the Overton Window wide open here.

Readers may know that I am an American Jew. We have entered a new era of antisemitism. Many might say it is due to the conduct of Israel warring against its enemies. I would say it is as much due to the adoption of Jihad politics by the Marxist-Woke campaign as an instrument to promote political and social chaos in America.

Lawfare is essentially jihad waged via the courts against our own disintegrating common culture and national interests.

The lineup of the leading Lawfare attorneys are Jews: Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Benjamin Wittes, Andrew Weissmann, Michael Bromwich, Michael Sussmann, Lawrence Tribe, Daniel Goldman, Paul Rosenzweig, the exceptionally profligate serial liar Rep. Adam Schiff, and many others. I can’t say I understand exactly what motivates them to engage these antics. (Possibly to defend their Deep State clients against many previous crimes committed since 2016, especially within the FBI and DOJ.) But it’s a really bad look on top of being a nefarious agenda.

They are disgracing the rest of us American Jews and putting us in danger. Shame on them.

They must be defeated, and their defeat must come within the arena of the very law they work so hard to pervert.

Bill Kristol: “My fellow White Americans are ‘the enemy'”

Bill Kristol: My Fellow White Americans Are ‘The Enemy’


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neoconservative commentator Bill Kristol labeled white Americans “the enemy” in a column on Friday because the majority support Donald Trump for president.

In a piece for The Bulwark, Kristol praised Barack Obama for his comments encouraging “the brothers” to support Kamala Harris for president before putting out a statement of his own echoing the former president’s remarks.


“If you believe it’s important to defeat Trump, it’s not Obama’s ‘brothers’ who are the problem. It’s my ‘brothers’ who are the problem: white voters,” Kristol wrote, self-identifying as a fellow white person.

Kristol continued:

You want to know why Trump has a decent chance to win the presidency again? Because most white Americans support him. In the latest New York Times/Siena poll, Trump wins white voters by 52 percent to 44 percent.

[…] If Trump wins on November 5, it will be because of his support from a majority of white America. As a white American, and a white American man to boot, I’ve got to say, in the immortal words of Pogo: We have met the enemy and he is us.

Bill Kristol, a Jewish Zionist who helped push America into the war in Iraq, in 2017 called for the “lazy, spoiled” white working class to be replaced by “new Americans.”

“Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don’t you want to get new Americans in?” Kristol said. “Seriously, you can make the case — this is going on too long and this is too crazy, probably, and I hope this thing isn’t being videotaped or ever shown anywhere. Whatever tiny, pathetic future I have is going to totally collapse.”

Kristol continued: “You can make a case that America has been great because every — I think John Adams said this — basically if you’re a free society, a capitalist society, after two or three generations of hard work everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled — whatever.”

“Then, luckily, you have these waves of people coming in from Italy, Ireland, Russia, and now Mexico, who really want to work hard and really want to succeed and really want their kids to live better lives than them and aren’t sort of clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on and meanwhile grew up as spoiled kids and so forth. In that respect, I don’t know how this moment is that different from the early 20th century.”

Comments on the Jared Taylor video

I’m interested people’s comments on Jared Taylor’s video advocating that Trump make explicit statements about White interests. For politicians, the only important thing is to win. Would it backfire on Trump when media freaks out at explicit statements on White interests? Would Whites really rally to Trump more than otherwise or be made to feel guilty by the media uproar? People are saying Blacks and Latinos are going for Trump more than for past GOP candidates. Would they be turned off? Is implicit Whiteness enough?

How my odious cousin Roy Cohn was responsible for creating Donald Trump — and me

Written by a progressive Jew who hates both his cousin Roy Cohn and Trump.

How my odious cousin Roy Cohn was responsible for creating Donald Trump — and me

Forgive me if I’m cynical about humanity. I just stumbled into sunshine from the darkness of a screening of The Apprentice, the stunning fictional-yet-fairly-factual film about Donald Trump and his mentor Roy Cohn.

That’s Roy Marcus Cohn, my odious cousin.

These 120 minutes in the theater unearthed so many memories that now I’m reeling from PTCSD: Post Trump-Cohn Stress Disorder.

With a bit of artistic license, The Apprentice illuminates the truths that several documentaries have depicted. We see Roy molding Trump out of a lump of formless clay. We watch Trump wallow in Roy’s world of chicanery and bribery, bold-type gossip pages and bald-faced lies.

I’ve long thought of Trump as Roy’s acolyte, his disciple. But “The Apprentice?” Ah. Nice wordplay.

Let’s pause for a personal disclaimer-plus-trigger warning.

Roy and I shared one trait: devotion to the bubbly, optimistic Libby Marcus — my Grandma Libby, Roy’s Aunt Libby. Libby was staunchly loyal to family. No matter if you were an awkward dork (me) or an indicted perjurer (Roy) or a disbarred attorney (Roy) or a possible murderer (Roy). Or even if the IRS slapped liens on your property for evading millions of dollars of taxes (Roy again).

It’s easy to loathe everything Roy represented: The self-hating homophobia. The peculiar antisemitic behavior of a Jewish person a couple of generations removed from the shtetl. The flag-waving, faux family-values conservatism, drenched in hypocrisy.

Speaking of hypocrites: In the heady heyday of the 1980s, I briefly met The Donald several times at Cousin Roy’s birthday parties. That was when the self-proclaimed Real Estate Tycoon was overleveraging, putting himself on the path to bankruptcy. He was bamboozling bankers and journalists — as Roy manipulated him like a marionette.

Since childhood, I’ve known that I owe my existence to Roy Marcus Cohn. More about that in a moment.

The real Roy

If you finished high school after 1980, you might not comprehend the sweep of Roy Cohn’s pernicious, perfidious four-decade-long career. Here’s the SparkNotes version (skip this section if you know why Roy’s shenanigans provoked Joseph Welch to say, “Have you no sense of decency, Sir?”).

Roy was an obnoxious wunderkind. He graduated from Columbia Law School at age 20. His mother Dora Marcus Cohn was a helicopter mother before anyone knew the term. She was so protective of her only son that she rented a cabin down the road when Roy went to sleepaway camp. Roy’s father Al Cohn, a judge, introduced Roy to New York’s dealmakers.

This country will never again have an unelected person who wields so much influence for so many years on politics and the media. Never.

In the 1950s, Roy was a prosecutor in New York who sent Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair on overhyped espionage charges (Roy revealed that he made ex parte — illegal — calls to the judge). Then, in D.C., Roy was chief counsel to the drunk demagogue Senator Joseph McCarthy. They destroyed lives and careers while persecuting so-called “Communists and homosexuals.”

Roy went too far: He pushed that Wisconsin Weirdo to take on the U.S. Army in the first Congressional hearings to be televised live. McCarthy died in ignominy. Somehow, Roy reinvented himself. Back in New York, he was the attorney-consigliere to Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, ultraconservative Francis Cardinal Spellman and Mob boss Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno.

Roy befriended Republican bagman Roger Stone and helped elect Ronald Reagan. Soon after, Roy’s pal Rupert Murdoch got the Reagan administration’s blessing as he amassed the television stations that became Fox News.

As The Apprentice opens in 1973, Roy meets dimwit Donald (played convincingly by Sebastian Stan). The U.S. Justice Department is suing the Trump Organization, run by Donald and his father Fred, for refusing to rent apartments to Black tenants.

The film gets it right: Other attorneys advised the Trumps to quietly pay a fine and settle. But not Roy. He goaded Trump to countersue the government for $100 million. Roy shared his three golden rules with Donald: Attack, attack, attack. Deny everything. And “no matter what happens, never admit defeat.”

Sound familiar 50 years later?

Another Roy-ism: “Don’t tell me what the law is, tell me who the  judge is.”

Hello, Judge Aileen Cannon!

Seeing evil up close

All happy families are alike; every dysfunctional family has its own tragic history. My grandfather Bernard Marcus — Roy’s uncle — was president of a thriving bank in the Roaring Twenties. But in the Great Crash of 1929, the WASP  bankers helped each other, making Bernie a scapegoat.

Oddly, Bernie and his business partner Saul Singer were the only ones convicted of wrongdoing amid that wave of bank failures. The two Jewish guys. I’m not paranoid (about this subject, anyway). You can read economists such as Milton Friedman, who argued that the establishment financiers resented the Jewish interloper.

In the early 1930s, young Roy visited his Uncle Bernie in  the maximum-security Sing Sing prison. The experience shook Roy. He spent the rest of his life railing against “the establishment,” even after he became the establishment. …
