“The Ends Justify the Means”
"The ends justify the means" is what Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) meant when in The Prince, he wrote:
let a prince have the credit of conquering and holding his state, the means will always be considered honest, and he will be praised by everybody because the vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be and by what comes of it.
Machiavelli was a master of pure power, how to get and hold it, justifying deception, treachery, crime. After all, “the ends justify the means.”
Don’t Democrats, in their pursuit of power, increasingly resemble an organized crime outfit? Let’s review the evidence.
Act I: Dirty Tricks
The “any means” Democratic Party grew out of the 1988 Bush-Dukakis campaign for president, when Lee Atwater on behalf of George H.W. Bush launched political TV ads associating Dukakis with black murderer Willie Horton, who committed assault and rape while furloughed under a program Dukakis oversaw as Massachusetts governor. Democrats were livid at Republicans for running such a racist, “by any means” campaign.
In 1994, Republicans shocked the world by winning both houses of Congress during Bill Clinton’s second year as president. House GOP leader Newt Gingrich led the conquest, capturing the “people’s house” for Republicans for the first time in 40 years. The media, which had been hard on Clinton as they had been on every president after John Kennedy, immediately reversed field and turned into cheerleaders for Democrats. ABC news anchor Peter Jennings said of the Gingrich-led D.C. take-over — in words that foreshadowed media treatment of Trump — “The voters had a temper tantrum last week... Parenting and governing don't have to be dirty words: the nation can't be run by an angry two-year-old.”
In 2000, 5 days before the election, reporters were given information that Republican candidate George W. Bush had been arrested for drunk driving in Maine in 1976. In 2006, Rahm (Rahm-bo) Emanuel ran the Democratic campaign to reclaim the House, and evidence of GOP Congressman Mark Foley’s involvement with underaged pages he had for a year didn’t come out until just 6 weeks before the election Democrats won.
In 2008, 24 hours after John McClain nailed down the GOP nomination for president, the New York Times placed an above-the-fold, front-page, 3,000 word off-lead in its two upper left-hand columns, with bylines from four reporters, suggesting (never established) that McCain had an affair with a lobbyist nine years before.
In May 2012, Mitt Romney told a fundraising audience:
There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims. . . I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
That statement cost Romney the election. Had it surfaced before the GOP convention, Republicans could have replaced Romney. Democrats, who secretly taped Romney, held onto the tape until September 18, only 4 days before early voting began anywhere but North Carolina.
Act II: Hillary/Barack/Comey Crimes
All this was rough, “dirty” politics. But then Obama, his secretary of state, and their trusted cohorts delivered America no less than an organized criminal conspiracy.
6. Hiring CrowdStrike through Perkins Coie falsely to document that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee’s emails in order to help Trump win (most likely, a Bernie Sanders supporter in the DNC, seeking to damage Hillary’s campaign against Sanders, passed a thumb drive of Clinton-related emails to Wikileaks). The FBI never investigated the CrowdStrike Russia claim. CRIME
7. Having the FBI spy directly on the Trump campaign by using four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants originally based upon false Fusion GPS reports, doing so to intercept the communications of Trump campaign aide Carter Page to access the entire Trump network. CRIME
8. Using CIA director John Brennan to nail down an intelligence community fraud-based assessment that Russia influenced the election to benefit Trump. CRIME
After Trump shockingly won but with Obama still in the White House, later with Obama loyalist FBI Director Comey still active, the crimes continued.
1. Obama convened a White House meeting with Biden, Comey, and NSC director Susan Rice to plan out how to keep knowledge about the Russia investigation from the incoming Trump administration. CRIME
2. The next day Comey and intelligence officials briefed Trump on the phony Fusion GPS dossier including its most salacious parts, then leaked the dossier to the media along with news that Trump had seen it; doing so to knock Trump back on his heels and thereby protect Democrats from Obama-era crimes that were supposed to remain hidden forever. Throughout the Trump administration, the “Deep State” Democrats kept operating on the principle that offense is the best defense. CRIME
3. Obama’s people, in appalling actions, leaked records of highly classified calls with Russian officials to compromise or knock out both Trump’s NSC advisor Michael Flynn and Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions within two months of their taking office. CRIME
4. Once Trump realized what was going on, he fired Comey, which set off such a firestorm that Comey was able to orchestrate creation of a special counsel, then have Comey pal Robert Mueller appointed to the position. That event prolonged “Russia! Russia! Russia!” well past the 2018 elections, preserving Deep State control of Washington. Even though Mueller unearthed no evidence of Trump-Russia links, he fulfilled his basic objective — shielding his Deep State friends from any effective Trump-led prosecution. CRIME
5. CRIME? Special counsel John Durham’s February 2022 court filing revealed one Rodney Joffe, using Internet data, sought from July 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign to build a Trump-Russia connection. Joffe accessed Trump Tower, Trump's apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President internet traffic.
Turns out, Joffe has an unsavory background. He schemed in the late 1980’s to send mostly elderly people a “world famous Bentley IX” grandfather clock they had “won” for a shipping charge of only $69.19. Instead of a human-sized clock, the swindled received a table-top “clock” worth $10. Joffe settled with the Feds by refunding hundreds of thousands of dollars. After Joffe moved West selling beauty products through the mail, he was hit in 1995 with a $110,000 back taxes lien on his property.
A decade later, Joffe moved to Washington, D.C., where his skills at accessing proprietary public and nonpublic internet traffic records brought him into contact with Comey and Obama, leading to his arrangement with the Clinton campaign. Joffe said his real gift is making phone calls to high placed people, and providing needed “resources.”
Act III: Biden’s Election and Aftermath
With their media-protected-and-enhanced lawless patterns well-established, Democrats gained the White House and now corrupt American life.
- Actively pushing illegal immigration and drugs through an open border.
Failed border control alone is enough to brand Democrats a criminal organization. According to a Department of Homeland Security court filing, January illegal immigrant border crossings went from 36,585 in FY ’20 to 78,414 in FY’21 and to 153,941 in FY ’22 — a 420% increase in two years. In January, 62,573 illegal immigrants were released directly into the U.S. The Texas National Guard believes another 600,000 illegal immigrants in 2021 completely escaped contact with border control, so are in addition to official statistics.
From the time Biden assumed office in January 2021 to the end of the year, more than 2 million arrests were made. Large numbers of single adult men are among those released. Black tarps obstruct the public’s view, but we know they covered Feds helping transfer illegal migrants to nonprofits who route them elsewhere in the country. The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway says “we have . . . adult males . . . using their criminal arrest records as I.D. to get on [nonprofit-arranged] planes and be shipped across the country.”
Angie Wong of the New York Post found a Border Patrol changed into a concierge service, migrants streaming into the country in droves, assisted by cartel coyotes, Border Patrol resorting to working with cartels and coyotes, coordinating on “when and where drop-offs will happen.” Keep the flow going, fly migrants around the country to spread out the impact, trust the media not to report.
Bernie Moreno, a naturalized legal immigrant originally from Colombia, talks about the “Hunger Games”-style sick game the U.S. and the coyotes put illegal immigrants through:
a group crossing the border illegally from Nicaragua. . . were held up at gunpoint by members of a drug cartel, and the women were sexually assaulted. The cartel took every item of value they had, and even cavity-searched them to make certain they had handed over everything. That was one “tax” these people and millions of others pay to cross the border. It is certainly not about compassion.
Mexican nationals are only 37% of arrivals. The remaining 63% come from more distant countries, by far the highest total from records dating back to 2000. They pay coyotes on the way. Our open border — world famous.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has said immigration officers will no longer deport people solely because they are undocumented, including those turned in by “unscrupulous employers.”
An open border means cartels importing drugs as well as people.
The drug overdose death toll during the first six months of 2021 was 53,000 people, higher than any continuous six-month period in 2020 and on pace for a new annual record by the end of the year. There were 93,331 overdose fatalities in 2020 – an all-time high, nearly five times the murder rate. Fentanyl, a highly lethal synthetic opioid, is the primary killer. Fentanyl is manufactured mostly by Mexican cartels with ingredients imported from China, and then smuggled over the border.
The cartels use the illegal migrant flood overwhelming border agents as cover for drug smugglers. At the same time, Biden’s administration has shifted from enforcement to public health, spending $11.2 billion to expand substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery. The problem is that curbing opioid addiction is very difficult. The vast majority of substance abusers avoid treatment, with only one-third of those fortunate enough to receive long-term medical care able to recover fully. Derek Maltz, a former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) official who worked against drug cartels, said, “We have to vigorously attack the production labs in Mexico.”
The cartels love fentanyl because it’s cheap to produce, and more profitable than heroin. The Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels lace heroin with fentanyl in the U.S. and also manufacture counterfeit fentanyl pills labeled to look like prescription drugs. The fake pills reach mainstream America. DEA agents seized 9.5 million ($20 retail) fake pills in the first nine months of 2021, more than in the two previous years combined. Two milligrams of fentanyl, which fits on a pencil tip, will kill.
- Tolerating crime, not fighting it.
The 2020 “Summer of Love” riots throughout major cities in the name of BLM “anti-racism” went largely unpunished, thanks to Democratic governors, mayors, and lenient prosecutors operating with no/low bail quick release financed by Kamala Harris and others under the slogan, “Defund the Police.”
Who pays? The cities’ largely black populace. Even before 2020, poverty rates were 21% in Atlanta and Baltimore, 18% in Chicago, 35% in Detroit, 20% in Houston, 19% in Minneapolis, and 22% in St. Louis. These cities have been governed by Democrats for decades. The national poverty rate average is 11%.
The U.S. pre-Biden election was 14% black and 60% white. Meanwhile, 251 blacks and 424 whites were killed by police. Blacks accounted for 36% of violent crime arrests and 42% of arrests for property crimes. They commit 40% of murders. Democrats should know violence and decreased police presence disproportionally hurt blacks.
- Covering up Covid-related corruption.
As Covid arrived in the U.S. in early 2020, a conspiracy formed to hide evidence the virus had emerged from research funded at a Chinese lab by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Anthony Fauci. Expert virologists understood right away that the virus bore the fingerprints of lab manipulation. Direct insertion of the cleavage site or tissue culture meant the virus came from a lab.
That bombshell judgment drew a Fauci-protecting reaction from Francis Collins, then-director of the National Institutes of Health, just one day after the teleconference where his experts said the virus seemed manipulated. Collins wrote about the damage the scientists’ conclusion might cause. “The voices of conspiracy will quickly dominate, doing great potential harm to science and international harmony (PDF)."
Collins later requested a "devastating takedown" of those who disagreed with his insistence on lockdowns, referring to dissenting scholars from Harvard, Oxford and Stanford as "fringe." He and other public health officials selectively ignored real data.
On his part, Fauci declared that "attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science.” Few virologists would disagree publicly with Fauci because almost all of the $5 billion per year in infectious disease research runs through the agency led by Fauci and Collins.
Silence reigned when mask mandates were first introduced. Virologists should have pointed to published studies doubting masks' effectiveness in stopping airborne viruses. The World Health Organization's 2019 program for an influenza pandemic does not call for facemask use for the non-symptomatic or uninfected. It only recommends business and school closures in the most severe circumstances, adding such measures lack good evidence of effectiveness. Cloth masks once deemed essential are now labeled "facial decorations." Schools have opened without becoming super spreaders. A John Hopkins University study has concluded that lockdowns had a minuscule impact on virus morbidity.
- Rigging the 2020 election.
The 2020 presidential election was unlike any before, whether or not Biden won. Hundreds of laws and processes were changed in the months preceding the vote, sometimes legally and sometimes not, creating chaos, confusion, and uncertainty. Tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg, one of the world’s wealthiest, spent $419 million — nearly as much as the Feds themselves — to interfere in swing state election management.
The voting process was rigged. Rejected mail-in ballots were orders of magnitude lower in 2020 than in previous years. That helped Biden, since mail-in voting overwhelmingly favored Democrats. Extending voting by weeks helped Democrats gather marginal votes. Ballot extensions went beyond dates allowed in state constitutions. Organized ballot harvesting and ballot “curing” also aided Biden.
- Burying Biden Family corruption.
George Washington law school professor Jonathan Turley has noted that Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden received millions in influence peddling even as President Biden denies any knowledge or involvement. Yet such denials are directly contradicted by emails and witnesses, with Hunter himself contradicting his father. A key business associate of Hunter, Anthony Bobulinski, has emails discussing offering access to the then-Vice President; also payments to him, while new emails show a commingling of funds between Hunter and his father.
The rampant corruption of the Chinese paying Joe Biden millions through his son is stunning. as is the mainstream media effort to ignore this blatant Biden family scandal. The same goes for Facebook and Twitter, which kicked the New York Post off their platforms when it publicized allegations of Biden family crimes.
