Coup d’état
A coup d’état, usually shortened to coup, is the seizure and removal of a government and its powers. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, or a dictator. Wikipedia
America today stands at a crossroads like nothing before in its history. Sometime last year, a coup took place – quietly, stealthily, and without great bloodshed, but a coup nonetheless. Groundwork for the coup was laid over a period of decades, but the opportunity to act only came recently.
Under the cover of a widespread disease, mechanisms were put in place, including changes to laws, unconstitutional restrictions on movement, gatherings, and information exchange. Dissenting voices across the land were silenced, even that of a President. Election laws were changed or ignored to give the appearance that the coup was legitimate. Our cities were burned and looted to create fear and distraction. Our borders were cast open to an influx of the needy, the diseased, and to all manner of criminals. Our once vibrant economy that was creating new opportunities for all was brought to the brink of collapse by authoritarian edict in the name of saving us.
Consolidation of Power
As with such coups in history past, the perpetrators are working feverishly to consolidate their power before effective resistance can be mobilized to stop them. Numerous edicts have been issued by the presumptive leadership that have served only to further weaken our economy, establish government control over our businesses and livelihoods.
Just this week the administration created a Hobson’s choice situation where either more than ten million families could be rendered homeless, or a corresponding number of property owners would be bankrupted – all through government edict in direct violation of a Supreme Court ruling. It was even acknowledged that the edict was unconstitutional, but the presumptive President said it was acceptable, because the problem would all be over before a case could work its way through the courts.
A short while before, an agency that is not a court issued a “ruling” that they had no authority to issue stating that the government had the legal right to compel citizens to receive an unapproved new substance miscalled a vaccine. This week, a different agency “ruled” that both property rights and contracts were now under full government control, and that violations could be severely penalized under force of law – this by an agency that is not an elected body and has no legal authority.
