I try to take a more strategic view of ongoing issues, politics, and world affairs. My purpose is to see the forest vice the trees looks like, where things may be headed, and the potential outcomes and impacts. When assessing the actions of others, I also try to understand for what purpose is an action being taken, to what desired outcome, and for what end game or impact. When one assesses the efforts undertaken against Trump prior to the 2024 election, it is hard not to come away with two primary findings.
- First, while it may seem obvious, the timing of the massive number of lawsuits and civil suits is not merely coincidental but purposeful, planned, coordinated, and a conspiracy.
- Second, the actions being taken have one primary objective, outcome, and impact – to impede, prevent, obstruct, and deny a lawful election. In this case the focus is on a candidate, Donald J. Trump.
While I’m not a lawyer, I am an analyst – and when reviewing Title 18 U.S. Code, based on my assessment, there are five concurrent and specific felonious acts being taken in lock step. They consist of rebellion and insurrection, conspiracy, seditious conspiracy, intimidation of voters (Donald J. Trump and all MAGA supporters), and interference by administrative employees. These actions, taken being taken by several individuals, attorney generals, district attorneys, and the current President of the United States Joe Biden – federal, state, or county officials. So, let’s start by looking at the definitions of each. I’ve highlighted specific language.
- 18 U.S. Code §2383. Rebellion or insurrection – Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
- 18 U.S. Code § 371 – Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States – If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
- 18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy – If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
- 18 U.S. Code §594. Intimidation of voters – Elections and Political Activities – Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
- 18 U.S. Code §595. Interference by administrative employees of Federal, State, or Territorial Governments – Whoever, being a person employed in any administrative position by the United States, or by any department or agency thereof, or by the District of Columbia or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or by any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States, or any political subdivision, municipality, or agency thereof, or agency of such political subdivision or municipality (including any corporation owned or controlled by any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States or by any such political subdivision, municipality, or agency), in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
The question is – will our Supreme Court of the United States of America (SCOTUS) step in? As we all know by now, the Attorney General of the United States, whom I believe is complicit and corrupt will not do so. This isn’t just lawfare – this is a purposeful misuse, abuse, and weaponization of authority and law to disrupt, deny, interfere with, impede, and forestall an election.
When we look at the lawfare assaults against President Trump, it should immediately set off alarms at the SCOTUS, in the offices of every state’s attorney general’s office with integrity, and across all of America – regardless of your political affiliation. That is – if you believe in our Constitution, the rule of law, and fair and free elections.
The most obvious examples come from reporting across multiple newspapers and media, we see several states pushing to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot. There are either private individuals or state/country employees attempting this – concurrently – across Alaska, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexio, Rhode Island, Colorado, and Arizona. We can expect miscreants from more states to follow suit. In this example those involved should be charged with all five felonies as laid out above via U.S. Code Title 18.
In the next set of examples, we see state employees (perhaps aided by federal employees) in Colorado, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Arizona undertake what at first glance may appear to be totally lawful legal and civil suits. Some of them may even find Trump at fault legally. However, when we look at the forest for the trees, we see the timing of these suits is not coincidental, but nothing less than purposeful and with ill intent – perhaps legal intent being a secondary factor. In each of these cases, based on my assessment of the law, the individuals involved should be charged with at least four of the felonies as noted above that include Conspiracy to commit offense, seditious conspiracy, Interference by administrative employees, Intimidation of voters.
The probability of these events being undertaken for truly legal reasons (vice being efforts to deny Trump a place on the ballot or to persecute, prosecute, and intimidate him and his voters) all occurring at the same time without being part of a purposeful conspiracy is – zero!
This is why, no matter the conservative candidate for POTUS, or citizen’s political affiliation (conservative or liberal), ALL Americans should be crying foul and demanding prosecution for numerous felonies as outlined. As if this can occur to Trump, it can and will occur towards any individual. As there are two sides to every fence, there are two sides to the coin of tyranny. It all depends on which side holds the coin. In simple terms, if we fail to address such tyranny now, it is likely to expand not contract. It is this generations’ challenge to place tyranny back into its box, and deliver it straight to hell, less we lose this ongoing domestic Cognitive War and see the balance of the information equilibrium tilt in favor of freedom and democracy, towards despotism and tyranny for a century or more. It is a war between good and evil – it is just one example of the ongoing Cognitive War.
