Whether you’re walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency is listening in and tracking you.

“Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference … The Thought Police would get him just the same … the arrests invariably happened at night … In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.”—George Orwell, 1984
The government long ago sold us out to the highest bidder.

The highest bidder, by the way, has always been the Deep State.
What’s playing out now with the highly politicized tug-of-war over whether Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act gets reauthorized by Congress doesn’t just sell us out, it makes us slaves of the Deep State.
Read the fine print: it’s a doozy.
https://www.infowarsstore.com/survi...tm_medium=banner&utm_content=x340banned.video
Just as the USA Patriot was perverted from its stated intent to fight terrorism abroad and was instead used to covertly crack down on the American people (allowing government agencies to secretly track Americans’ financial activities, monitor their communications, and carry out wide-ranging surveillance on them), Section 702 has been used as an end-run around the Constitution to allow the government to collect the actual content of your conversations (phone calls, text messages, video chats, emails and other electronic communication) without a warrant.
Now intelligence officials are pushing to dramatically expand the government’s spying powers, effectively giving the government unbridled authority to force millions of Americans to spy on its behalf.
Basically, the Deep State wants to turn the American people into extensions of Big Brother.

As Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) explains:
If you have access to any communications, the government can force you to help it spy. That means anyone with access to a server, a wire, a cable box, a Wi-Fi router, a phone, or a computer. So think for a moment about the millions of Americans who work in buildings and offices in which communications are stored or pass through.
After all, every office building in America has data cables running through it. The people are not just the engineers who install, maintain, and repair our communications infrastructure; there are countless others who could be forced to help the government spy, including those who clean offices and guard buildings. If this provision is enacted, the government can deputize any of these people against their will, and force them in effect to become what amounts to an agent for Big Brother—for example, by forcing an employee to insert a USB thumb drive into a server at an office they clean or guard at night.
This could all happen without any oversight whatsoever: The FISA Court won’t know about it, Congress won’t know about it. Americans who are handed these directives will be forbidden from talking about it. Unless they can afford high-priced lawyers with security clearances who know their way around the FISA Court, they will have no recourse at all.”
This is how an effort to reform Section 702 has quickly steamrollered into an expansion of the government’s surveillance powers.
We should have seen this coming.
After all, the Police State doesn’t relinquish power easily, the Surveillance State doesn’t look favorably on anything that might weaken its control, and Big Brother doesn’t like to be restricted.
What most Americans don’t get is that even without Section 702 in play, the government will still target the populace for warrantless, suspicionless mass surveillance, because that’s how the police state maintains its stranglehold on power.
These maneuvers are just the tip of the iceberg.
For all intents and purposes, we now have a fourth branch of government.
This fourth branch came into being without any electoral mandate or constitutional referendum, and yet it possesses superpowers, above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military.
It is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful.
It operates beyond the reach of the president, Congress and the courts, and it marches in lockstep with the corporate elite who really call the shots in Washington, DC.
The government’s “technotyranny” surveillance apparatus has become so entrenched and entangled with its police state apparatus that it’s hard to know anymore where law enforcement ends and surveillance begins. They have become one and the same entity.
The police state has passed the baton to the surveillance state.
On any given day, the average American is now monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways by both government and corporate eyes and ears.
Every second of every day, the American people are being spied on by the U.S. government’s vast network of digital Peeping Toms, electronic eavesdroppers and robotic snoops.
Beware of what you say, what you read, what you write, where you go, and with whom you communicate, because it will all be recorded, stored and used against you eventually, at a time and place of the government’s choosing.
Privacy, as we have known it, is dead.
Whether you’re walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency is listening in and tracking you. This doesn’t even begin to touch on the complicity of the corporate sector, which buys and sells us from cradle to grave, until we have no more data left to mine. These corporate trackers monitor your purchases, web browsing, Facebook posts and other activities taking place in the cyber sphere and share the data with the government.
Just about every branch of the government—from the Postal Service to the Treasury Department and every agency in between—now has its own surveillance sector, authorized to collect data and spy on the American people. Then there are the fusion and counterterrorism centers that gather all of the data from the smaller government spies—the police, public health officials, transportation, etc.—and make it accessible for all those in power.
These government snoops are constantly combing through and harvesting vast quantities of our communications, then storing it in massive databases for years. Once this information—collected illegally and without any probable cause—is ingested into NSA servers, other government agencies can often search through the databases to make criminal cases against Americans that have nothing to do with terrorism or anything national security-related.
Empowered by advances in surveillance technology and emboldened by rapidly expanding public-private partnerships between law enforcement, the Intelligence Community, and the private sector, police have become particularly adept at sidestepping the Fourth Amendment.
Talk about a system rife for abuse.
Now, the government wants us to believe that we have nothing to fear from its mass spying program because they’re only looking to get the “bad” guys who are overseas.
Don’t believe it.
The government’s definition of a “bad” guy is extraordinarily broad, and it results in the warrantless surveillance of innocent, law-abiding Americans on a staggering scale.
Indeed, the government has become the biggest lawbreaker of all.
It’s telling that even after it was revealed that the FBI, one of the most power-hungry and corrupt agencies within the police state’s vast complex of power-hungry and corrupt agencies, misused a massive government surveillance database more than 300,000 times in order to target American citizens, we’re still debating whether they should be allowed to continue to sidestep the Fourth Amendment.
This is how the government operates, after all: our objections are routinely overruled and our rights trampled underfoot.
It works the same every time.
First, the government seeks out extraordinary powers acquired in the wake of some national crisis—in this case, warrantless surveillance powers intended to help the government spy on foreign targets suspected of engaging in terrorism—and then they use those powers against the American people.
According to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the FBI repeatedly misused Section 702 in order to spy on the communications of two vastly disparate groups of Americans: those involved in the George Floyd protests and those who may have taken part in the Jan. 6, 2021, protests at the Capitol.
This abuse of its so-called national security powers is par for the course for the government.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice, intelligence agencies conduct roughly 200,000 of these warrantless “backdoor” searches for Americans’ private communications each year.
No one is spared.
Many of the targets of these searches have done nothing wrong.
Government agents have spied on the communications of protesters, members of Congress, crime victims, journalists, and political donors, among many others.
The government has claimed that its spying on Americans is simply “incidental,” as though it were an accident, but it fully intends to collect this information.
As journalist Jake Johnson warns, under an expanded Section 702, U.S. intelligence agencies “could, without a warrant, compel gyms, grocery stores, barber shops, and other businesses to hand over communications data.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, “The Securities and Exchange Commission is deploying a massive government database—the Consolidated Audit Trail, or CAT—that monitors in real time the identity, transactions and investment portfolio of everyone who invests in the stock market.”
Journalist Leo Hohmann reports that the government is also handing out $20 million in grants to police, mental health networks, universities, churches and school districts to enlist their help in identifying Americans who might be political dissidents or potential “extremists.”
Ask the government why it’s carrying out this far-reaching surveillance on American citizens, and you’ll get the same Orwellian answer the government has been trotting in response to every so-called crisis to justify its assaults on our civil liberties: to keep America safe.
What this is really all about, however, is control.
What we are dealing with is a government so power-hungry, paranoid and afraid of losing its stranglehold on power that it is conspiring to wage war on anyone who dares to challenge its authority.
When the FBI is asking banks and other financial institutions to carry out dragnet searches of customer transactions—warrantlessly and without probable cause—for “extremism” indicators broadly based on where you shop, what you read, and how you travel, we’re all in trouble.
You don’t have to do anything illegal.
For that matter, you don’t even have to challenge the government’s authority.
Frankly, you don’t even have to care about politics or know anything about your rights.
All you really need to do in order to be tagged as a suspicious character, flagged for surveillance, and eventually placed on a government watch list is live in the United States.
As long as the government is allowed to weaponize its 360 degree surveillance technologies to flag you as a threat to national security, whether or not you’ve done anything wrong, it’s just a matter of time before you find yourself wrongly accused, investigated and confronted by police based on a data-driven algorithm or risk assessment culled together by a computer program run by artificial intelligence.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, it won’t be long before Big Brother’s Thought Police are locking us up to “protect us” from ourselves.
At that point, we will disappear.

Why the Seventeenth Amendment MUST Be Abolished​

James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution wrote: “The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures.” John Jay, co-author of The Federalist Papers is quoted: “Jay then informed Governor Clinton that, unlike the Senate, where the two-thirds rule was in force for treaties and impeachment, the lower house had nothing to do with treaties; it represented the people whereas the senate represented the states – for the Federalists always a significant distinction.”

The U.S. House of Representatives was to be the legislative body for the people. Each district within the states of the Union would elect an individual to Congress (Art. I, Sec. II) who would represent them under Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution. The framers were adamant that the states remain sovereign entities and have equal representation in Congress. Thus, the U.S. Senate would be comprised of two senators from each state. (Art. I, Sec. III)

Those senators would be chosen by their state legislature to go to Washington, DC to represent the interests of the state, not the people. If they didn’t, the state could recall them and choose a replacement. The Senate confirms federal judges and supreme court justices. The Senate must advise and consent to ratification of treaties that have been negotiated and agreed to by the President — Art. II, Section II, U.S. Constitution.

The framers of the Constitution wisely understood the absolute necessity of ensuring the people would have the right to vote for our representative in Congress, and at the same time because they all jealously guarded freedom and liberty, the states must also have equal representation. We the people would have the ability to remove – via the ballot box – miscreants and scoundrels while the state legislatures could recall their U.S. Senators who acted against the best interests of their state. The absolute right of the states to equal representation was wiped out when the Seventeenth Amendment was declared ratified on April 8, 1913. It was not.

From my January 16, 2012 column: 36 States Did Not Ratify 17th Amendment – What Will States Do?

“I once read a comment below a news item regarding former senate candidate, Joe Miller, [R-AK] after he came out supporting a repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment. The useful fool who submitted the comment said old Joe wouldn’t have to run for office and worry about getting beat. Miller’s opponent and alleged eventual winner, RINO Lisa Murkowski, opened the pie hole in her face: “…was the first to criticize Miller’s comments, issuing a news release entitled “Joe Miller reaching new extremes every day.”

“We have seen Joe Miller take some extraordinary positions in this campaign, but I never imagined he would support disenfranchising himself and every other Alaskan,” Murkowski said in a statement. “Joe is no longer content with simply taking away federal support for Alaskan families, now he wants to take away their right to select our United States senators.” (End of quote)

“Yeah, those who gave their lives and blood to create this republic reached “new extremes” when they voted to create two separate bodies for the U.S. Congress, one for the people and one for the states.

“Think Murkowski wants to give up her power as a U.S. Senator? When pig’s fly. That foolish hen votes for legislation that affects my life and I can’t vote her out of office. Another dangerous female, Olympia Snowe, RINO from Maine, voted for the unconstitutional Obamacare declaring her constituents wanted it! Well, I’m not her constituent and I sure as hell don’t want it. The vile, Charles Schumer, [D-NY] would like to see the Second Amendment wiped off the books and every time he votes for a bill, I have no way to send his “progressive” backside packing.”

[Note: Snowe did not run for reelection so that RINO was finally gone. Replaced by ‘Independent’ Angus King. Pro-killing the unborn, fund Planned Parenthood, supports the myth called Same Sex Marriage, legalize “recreational pot”, believes America is a democracy, climate change hoax advocate, opposed more border security; long list On the Issues is here.]

RINO Murkowski, has been in office under a law that doesn’t exist for 27+ years. The damage done by U.S. Senators since the non-ratified Seventeenth Amendment is enormous. Angus King votes, allegedly for the people of Maine but bills he votes for affect me and I can’t vote him out.

Soros and McCain: The unholy alliance hidden in plain sight, May 16, 2025: “What started as a quiet alliance between George Soros and John McCain has now become a visible partnership between their heirs, Alex and Cindy.”

Apparently, the very wealthy Cindy McCain hates Donald Trump. Went to work for career criminal and liar, Joe Biden; supported him in the 2020 stolen election. Biden repaid such loyalty as Cindy was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the rancid, corrupt UN as the Food and Agriculture Ambassador.

I sued the State of Texas in 2014 to keep senate candidates off the ballot. It would take another whole column to give you all what happened in court, obscene, but the bottom line is the judge (brought out of retirement to hear my case and one civil injury quickie appearance) in a huge, empty court room said no one was interested because it happened so long ago; fraud was okay with da judge. I appealed to the appellate court in Austin and those cowards issued their blather and that was that. No sense in appealing to the Texas Supreme Court for obvious reasons. The best we can hope for is, like prohibition, get a constitutional amendment passed to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment.

Oct. 12, 2014 Lawsuit filed: Seventeenth Amendment not ratified

The Constitution of the United States – Article V: “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” How about states out of session during that entire coup?

A Con-Con (as in con job) is NOT necessary to get a constitutional amendment passed by the states. An Article V Convention would be the final nail in our coffin. National Archives: Constitutional Amendment Process: “The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention.”

The damage done to our republic after the Seventeenth Amendment was declared ratified could easily be a 500-page book. I did put up a ‘help’ page for state legislators so they could get a fresh perspective regarding that amendment. The Seventeenth Amendment: A Cancer on our Constitutional Republic last updated in 2010 so yes, I’ve been on this for decades. Of course, one of the big problems is the ubiquitous “our democracy” propaganda. [1]

Practically from the first day Trump took office, junkyard dogs behind the scenes were already plotting to get rid of him. Trump started nominating judges at the federal level which have to be confirmed by the Senate as well as the Supreme Court. Then old Joe who was nothing but an empty suit with obvious advanced dementia (I think first ages of Altzheimer’s) in 2020[2] took his turn and here we are today.

Lawsuits against Trump right now are like Niagara Falls – more than 100
. And who’s hearing the cases? Federal judges that have shown exactly how partisan they are and disgracing their profession. Just the same as happened during Trump’s first term. One can hardly keep up with all of them – even me; I spend a lot of time reading and researching. A lot.

As what happened with my case in the Texas “legal” system, there will never be an acknowledgement the Seventeenth Amendment was short two states and therefore, was not legally ratified. However, it will be up to We the People AND our state legislatures who need to grow a spine to get a constitutional amendment passed into law. Need only be two sentences. Henceforth, the Seventeenth Amendment is hereby abolished effective Dec. 31 of whatever year. State legislatures can decide if the “incumbent” senator should be chosen to continue in DC.

Think NAFTA would have passed had there been no Seventeenth Amendment? Not a chance and the same goes for GATT. Rotten damn treaties that destroyed our most important job sectors: manufacturing, industrial and agriculture. NAFTA’s replacement is such poison we have to get out of it[3][4]. Whoever was advising Trump on the “USMCA “Trade Agreement” should be shown the door and don’t come back.

The effort to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment is bigger than people know and why don’t they know? The prostitute media (print, Internet, boob tube, cable, radio talk shows) make sure – just like they deliberately lied about Biden’s mental absence – the subject never comes up.

Our Founding Fathers made it difficult to amend the Constitution but it’s been done 27 times. Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses.

Of course, this presents a problem as a whole lot of current senators fear their state legislature would not choose, he/she, if the Seventeenth Amendment was abolished and the states regained their power and sovereignty. I have NO doubt had the 17th Amendment not been in effect at the time, we would have seen different judges and Supreme Court Justices over time and we sure as hell would not be seeing this AVALALANCHE OF LAWFARE/LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMP RIGHT NOW.

I have NO doubt John McCain would have been recalled by the State of AZ and numerous others had the fraudulent Seventeenth Amendment not been on the books.

Could such an amendment to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment ever pass? Perhaps the American people who are sick and tired and fed up with what they’re seeing – again – will DEMAND CON-gress introduce the amendment so Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, can get it distributed to the 50 states.

How about state reps and senators? Think state reps and senators don’t know U.S. reps and senators? Of course they do. The Republican Party holds state conventions and getting the Seventeenth Amendment abolished should be right at the top of the list of priorities: Have the state legislature put together a demand CON-gress introduce an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Aren’t states tired of being a door mat, basically castrated by the U.S. Senate on so many critical issues?

Sad to say but here in Texas our legislature which only meets every other odd year for 140 days has pretty much been ignoring the top priorities of the GOP state conventions. Primarily due to rotten, corrupt RINO’s as Speaker of the House who put Democrats as head of committees. Ultimately, it’s going to fall to We the People in every state to demand this gets done or we will continue down the road to Hell despite Trump’s best efforts. And BTW: Why aren’t the big names on talk radio (Sean Hannity, Clay & Buck and others) talking about this? Forget filling air time about the 2026 mid-terms all the time or complaining about the judges. There is a solution and that is abolishing the Seventeenth Amendment.

Yes, a state could choose a rotten, corrupt politician but it’s much easier to primary out those in the legislature who sent another Marxist, RINO or member of the Democrat/Communist Party USA to the U.S. Senate. That would send a powerful message to incumbents.

My daily email in-take is overwhelming. Sincere Americans send me links to videos “you must watch” or TikTok clips that are pretty much worthless (altho’ I love the doggie ones.); bear with me on this. Too many videos give no time, date, context, just like this one: Pam Bondi Exposes Judge Boasberg’s Secret Deal—The Room Goes Silent Instantly!

The person reading a script gives no facts, no date and how would he know exactly what went on behind closed doors or even in the court room? Nothing to enable one to confirm the veracity of this tale told. Interesting but in the end, it was a waste of 32 minutes of my time, but thousands of people watched it, believe every word without any identifiers.

Let me give you a quick example as a warning. Devvy – gotta watch this video! Homeless Veteran On Trial Until Judge Heard His Name And Stood Up In Silence. I go to the link, watched about five minutes. Stop; someone reading a script. Read the comment section from caring Americans about this “former Marine, highly decorated” and so forth. Then I read the text below the video, “This is one of those touching stories that remind us of what truly matters…See more. I did and it says: DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction created for entertainment purposes only.

So, you see, it’s a fake made up story but to watch even a few minutes it looks and sounds so real. The big print giveth, the small print taketh away. Those who watched it with caring compassion have no idea unless they did what I did and read the See More. They were suckered into watching a fake story and no doubt passed the link along to others.

There are excellent videos and documentaries out there; I don’t have a list of every single one but do the best I can in judging what is more Q nonsense and which are important for Americans to watch. After over three decades, I can usually spot the junk within a few minutes. The two below are absolutely worth your time so I hope you will watch them and share everywhere.

Decision to reject Jones' appeal could spell end of the First Amendment.

Judges, not juries, will now decide whether American citizens are guilty.

Infowars founder and host Alex Jones discusses the Supreme Court’s rejection of an appeal he filed in the Sandy Hook lawsuit where he was handed a $1.4 billion judgment after being deemed “guilty” without a proper jury trial.

Jones declared the corrupt “kangaroo court” system the “bad guys” and pointed out the whole process was political in nature as a scheme to destroy the First Amendment.

“This is about scaring other people that if you challenge official narratives, we’re going to misrepresent what you said, have judges find you guilty and then destroy you,” he said.

For example, My Pillow founder Mike Lindell was recently found “guilty” by a Minnesota judge for allegedly defaming Dominion Voting Systems, with the court using the same new judicial tactic weaponized against Jones.

Lindell joined “The Alex Jones Show” on Tuesday to discuss the ruling against him and the similarities between their cases, which essentially set the precedent for judges, not juries, to decide whether American citizens are guilty.

Jones explained what this means for America in his interview with Tucker Carlson that was released Monday night.

Jones also asked if President Trump will do anything to step in and stop the judicial weaponization as it is going to inevitably be used against him.

A Not-so-secret Contempt: America’s Judges Have Lost All Sense of Who and What They Serve​

If there's a dominant theme to the first nine months of the second Trump presidency, it’s that Tocqueville was right: The judiciary really does harbor a “secret contempt” for “the government of the people"

A Not-so-secret Contempt: America’s Judges Have Lost All Sense of Who and What They Serve

“A completely democratic government is so dangerous an instrument that, even in America, men have been obliged to take a host of precautions against [its] errors and passions,” wrote the great French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville in his diary, as he toured America between 1831 and 1832.

Among the precautions Americans had taken, Tocqueville continues, were “the establishment of two chambers, the governor’s veto, and above all the establishment of judges.”

The earliest and perhaps still the greatest analyser and critic of American democracy, Tocqueville is the man who coined the phrase “the tyranny of the majority.” Looking at recent events in his native France, he was only too aware what could happen when the errors and passions of the common man, who far outweighed the aristocracy in number, were allowed to get out of hand and run wild.

Like Machiavelli, Tocqueville was a firm believer in the necessity of aristocracy, of the need for it to balance democratic excess. But unlike Machiavelli, who was writing three hundred years earlier, in Renaissance Florence, Tocqueville was forced to accept the decline and eventual disappearance of aristocracy as a social class.

Without an hereditary elite to preserve and enforce aristocratic values, something else would be needed to keep democracy in check. When Tocqueville looked at the nascent American republic, barely fifty years old, he saw that role fulfilled by the legal profession. Although judges and lawyers belonged to the people and shared common birth with them, nevertheless, by habits and tastes they were a class apart, an aristocracy, with interests that might align, but didn’t fully overlap, with those of the mass of people. Legal professionals are “like the natural link between the two things, like the chain that unites them,” Tocqueville says.

While the common man is notoriously fickle, easily manipulated and driven by emotion, often without a clear sense of his own interests, the judge and lawyer together represent order, form, hierarchy, respect and, perhaps most of all, obedience to principle. They are the ones most empowered to act in the interest of the common good, even when they are out of step with majority opinion.

Judges and lawyers, as an institutional aristocracy, have special powers, and chief among them, Tocqueville says, “hidden at the bottom of the soul of the American lawyers,” are not just the tastes and habits of aristocrats, but “a great repugnance to the actions of the multitude, and a secret contempt of the government of the people.” Méprisent secrètement are the words Tocqueville uses for “secret contempt.”

A cultivated disgust and disdain for their fellow citizens serve the greater good.

In this respect, America’s judges and lawyers aren’t so different from Machiavelli’s prudenti, the secret ruling order of “prudent men” that operates from the shadows and manipulates both the masses and the aristocrats to serve the true needs of the republic. Tocqueville describes the judges and lawyers as a kind of clandestine political party that “extends over the whole community and penetrates into each of its classes.” Although this party doesn’t have a name or a program, nor a unified will, it guides society “in accordance with its desires,” acting upon it “incessantly and in secret.”

Forgive me the lesson in political philosophy. There is a point. I think it’s clear now that, if there is a dominant theme to the first nine months of the second Trump presidency, it’s that Tocqueville was right: The judiciary really does harbor a “secret contempt” for “the government of the people.” Only the contempt isn’t secret at all. It’s now completely out in the open, for all to see, and it’s monstrous in size.

Of course, there were plenty of judicial roadblocks during the first Trump administration—nationwide injunctions and unfavourable rulings at every level—but they were nothing compared to the degree of obstruction on display since Trump returned to power.

During a recent Supreme Court ruling that decided the validity of nationwide injunctions, Justice Amy Coney Barrett accused her benchmate Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown of wanting to encroach on the powers of the executive branch and enshrine an “imperial judiciary.” In her scathing opinion, Justice Barrett wrote as if that new ruling power had not yet been established. In truth, far from being a democracy, America is now a magistracy—a society run by judges for their own ends.

No aspect of the Trump agenda, from cutting government waste and USAID money for feminist dance classes in Azerbaijan to preventing the mutilation of children and anti-white hiring policies, has escaped the meddling of activist judges, most of them Obama- or Biden-appointees.

But no single issue better exemplifies the judicial plan to subvert the second Trump presidency and the will of the American people than deportation; and no single case better than that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the so-called “Maryland Man” who was deported to El Salvador and then brought back to the US at a judge’s order.

More than half a year after Garcia was first picked up by immigration enforcement, his case still rolls on. Yesterday, the DoJ announced Garcia would soon be heading to Liberia. Previously it was Eswatini—formerly Swaziland—Uganda and various other Third World countries before that.

The Garcia case should be cut and dry: He’s an illegal immigrant who entered the US multiple times illegally, was almost certainly a people trafficker (earning as much as $100k a year), is undoubtedly a member of MS-13 (it’s tattooed on his hand)—oh yes, and he’s also probably a pedophile too, although the child-sex charges have been dropped against him.

Be in no doubt: Kilmar Garcia is the model. The activist judges, America’s new rulers, want every single illegal in the US to go through the same absurd back-and-forth, the same will-he-won’t-he wrangling as the Maryland Man, for months or even years on end. Forever. It’s a deliberate tactic to run down the clock; to sap the Trump administration of its power and voters of their confidence in the man who promised the largest mass deportation operation in American history.

Four years will pass, and millions of illegal aliens who should have been deported will still be in America.

Even if Kilmar Garcia is deported as planned before his scheduled hearing at the beginning of next month, the judges aren’t going to stop. It’s time for the Trump administration, and the American people, to meet contempt with contempt. The judges have lost all sense of who and what they serve. Remind them.
