The Shape Shifters Of Bullshitistan - 26

Historian Toynbee

This post is in a long series (The Shapeshifters of Bullshitistan, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25) which parallels another long series (Here Come De Conservative Judges, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).

What is the point of these two series?

One thing: how long will "The Third Term" (e.g. The Third Reich) last in the Unites States of America?

Those who the voting public are said to have elected on the first day took the oath to support and defend the US Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

(USA gov). Then a short time later on the same day the president violated it by a presidential order that ignored and violated that very constitution:

"... The States of Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon bring this action to protect the States—including their public agencies, public programs, public fiscs, and state residents—against the illegal actions of the President and federal government that purport to unilaterally strip United States citizens of their citizenship. ... The President’s Executive Order, issued on January 20, 2025, and styled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship” (Citizenship Stripping Order), is contrary to the plain terms of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause and Section 1401 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The President has no authority to amend the Constitution or supersede the Citizenship Clause’s grant of citizenship to individuals born in the United States. Nor is he empowered by any other constitutional provision or law to determine who shall or shall not be granted United States citizenship at birth. The Fourteenth Amendment and federal law automatically confer citizenship upon individuals born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction."

(U.S. District Court, emphasis added, PDF; cf. 22 state AGs sue over Trump’s birthright citizenship order). When the president took the oath of office he exposed thimself to perjury laws which many not apply to him according to the supremes (Supreme Court Grants Trump Broad Immunity for Official Acts, Placing Presidents Above the Law).

So, expect the lawsuits to be defended by assertions of the president being above the constitution.

We are clearly moving in the direction of tyranny as have many civilizations prior to ours:

"That is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, as a world famous encyclopedia points out:

'In the Study Toynbee examined the rise and fall of 26 civilizations in the course of human history, and he concluded that they rose by responding successfully to challenges under the leadership of creative minorities composed of elite leaders. Civilizations declined when their leaders stopped responding creatively, and the civilizations then sank owing to the sins of nationalism, militarism, and the tyranny of a despotic minority.

(Encyclopedia Britannica, emphasis added). Previous posts in this series have zeroed in on the question of what 'tyranny' and 'despotic minority' meant to him."

(How To Identify The Despotic Minority - 14). Hmm ... didn't the outgoing president himself mention "oligarchy" in his farewell speech?

The current government of the USA has been infiltrated with despots in all three branches of government (The "It Can't Happen Here" Trance).

The acts taken so far all fall into the category of events that are setting up a Third Term by way of a coup (A Tale of Coup Cities, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14; Will The Military Become The Police?, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13; Follow The Immunity, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

"Gentlemen, he said
I don’t need your organization, I’ve shined your shoes
I’ve moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards"

"Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I’m expecting all hell to break loose
...
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I’m not that eager to make a mistake
...
People are crazy and times are strange
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed"
