If it hadn’t been obvious before, it’s long since become a basic reality that those shouting loudest about “threats to democracy” are the threat.
Attorney General Merrick Garland warned about threats to democracy in the U.S. and abroad in a commencement speech at Harvard University on Sunday.
“Threats to democracy in the U.S. and abroad” is a convenient way to connect external and internal opposition, and thus use counterintelligence and other tools meant to be deployed against foreign adversaries against Republicans.
We know this is true because this is what Obama/Biden has done. And we’re not just talking Trump Russiagate.
Not all that long ago, AG Garland sicced the FBI on parents speaking out at school board meetings. And that was the second draft. This was the first draft.
Early demands from the National School Boards Association to the White House included calling for the deployment of the Army National Guard and the military police to monitor school board meetings, according to an early draft letter the organization’s independent review released Friday.
I can’t think of a more basic community level form of democracy than school boards.
But here’s AG Garland going on about “threats to democracy”.
Garland, who is a Harvard alumnus, pointed to efforts to undermine the right to vote, violence against particular groups of people, the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the Russian invasion of Ukraine abroad as the “many ways in which democracy is under threat.”
There we go. Conflate Russia with the Capitol riot with state voting regulations, treat them all as a military/intel threat that must be crushed. And that’s how you end up with the Biden admin flirting with the idea of sending the National Guard to school board meetings.
Threats to democracy? Look in the mirror.
mortimer says
Dissent is not a threat to ‘democracy’, but a threat to the unopposed power the Democrats.
As long as the freedom of speech and assembly are defended, the Dems cannot silence opposition.
Garland is gaslighting the people about the threat to democracy, because that threat is in his office sitting in his chair.

Spot on, Mortimer.
bill says
How is parents wanting to have their say about what their children are taught a threat to democracy?
However, calling for military force to shut them up definitely is a threat to democracy, in fact it is fascism
Chessss says
Isn’t he pathetic? Garland. Obama’s butt Buddy?
Wellington says
Garland is a pathetic man (just look at his face for confirmation) but he is also a powerful and dangerous man. What a miserable excuse for a human being and what an enemy of true liberty he surely is.
mortimer says
Agree. Looking at his face, I see a sell-out who has no idealism left in him and no reason to go work every day. He should take retirement.

AG Who Tried to Sic FBI on Parents Speaking Out at School Board Meetings Warns of ‘Threat to Democracy’
………….
Garland himself is a threat to democracy.
somehistory says
A threat to freedom; A demonic threat to the Freedoms that are Gifts from our Creator and which the Founders inscribed and signed off on in the Constitution.
The “Bill of Rights.” A “bill” that any citizen should be able to present to the government….of which this ugly creep has been unrightly given a part…and which the government is under legal obligation to pay, and grants them authority to speak, to have a religion, to carry a gun, to be free to assemble and to protest if that is their desire.
this ugly creep has no authority to stop parents from voicing their opinion at school board meetings.
democracy may be a nice word, but Freedoms from man’s Creator….so much more than that and he is making every attempt to take those Freedoms…illegally.
Walter Sieruk says
The American patriot and activist Pamela Geller is right on the mark when she wrote
“The massive evidence of corruption in the FBI that has come to light since 2015 only confirms that the organization is desperately corrupt, working against the American people, and in immense need of serious reform. If that reform is not forthcoming, it should be disbanded.”
For the tragic reality is that the once grand all American law enforcement institution the Federal Bureau of Investigation has become infiltrated , subverted and “taken over” by the insidious and sinister forces of the evil movement which is called “the Red/Green alliance.”
,
This is all so very terrible that the FBI is now so warped that it views concerned caring peaceful conservative parents as “domestic terrorists” and even referring to them as “threat to democracy.”
Those slanderous and libelous terms directed at those good ,decent non-violent parents is not only wrong but outrageously wrong.
All the meantime the FBI refuse to even investigate ,much less go after and arrest , as it should the real domestic terrorists as those horrendously violent destructive subversive malice- filled malicious and even murderous Marxists as the lawless criminal hooligans who are members of Antifa and BLM.
This warped view and maybe even intentional blindness of those FBI agents is so very awful that it’s even a reflection of the Wisdom of the Bible verse Isaiah 5:20. Which reads ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” [N.K.J.V.]
How horrible !
Walter Sieruk says
The ancient wise proverb “And this too shall pass” is very true .As in the example of the Federal Bureau of Investigation being a good and decent all American patriotic government institution.
Now it’s been infiltrated corrupted and subverted by the insidious and sinister power of evil and darkness with is termed “The Red/Green Alliance.”
James Lincoln says
Walter,
Taken as a whole, the FBI is currently a corrupt organization – and is drastically in need of reform. And the corrupt members need to be, at the very least, fired. Or, better yet, prosecuted.
That being said, most of the rot is in the higher ranks. Nearly all of the FBI field agents – and I personally know of a number of them – are excellent American patriots.
Walter Sieruk says
To James LIncoln , thank you for your reply. I’m glad and relieved to know that there are still some good men in the FBI.
Tom says
“Once a government is committed to silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of repressive measures until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens creating a country where everyone lives in fear.” President Harry S. Truman.

Thanks for that important quote, Tom.
OLD GUY says
What we now teach our children about freedom and the meaning of democracy will have a major effect on the future of America. When we taught our children to love and honor their country and neighbors and that hard work and honesty pay off we had a better country. The breakdown of the family unit in America has not been good for our children or the future of our country.
CELL PHONES now raise our children along with social media. Kids need parents.
Gourdhead says
Garland is without a doubt THE danger to our representative Republic.
Alfredo says
The fish begins to rot from the head says an old proverb in the Tao.
This Garland character is more interested in virtue signalling that actual virtue forming.
The biggest threat to democracy in the United States now is the ruling party. The one that is actively undermining the very foundation of the nation. The constitution.
PRCS says
Test.
