Biden Flexes, Freedom Recedes… Dems’ Armed Troops Like A Dictator’s In D.C. As March For Life Disappears

January 27, 2021 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

News reports that Joe Biden’s transition team feared that a member of the massive U.S. protective force ordered in to Washington, D.C., could instead harm him highlighted their own awareness of how fragile was his upcoming takeover of power.
Like the banditos in the anterooms in any banana republic dictatorship, the team realized Biden’s seamy illegitimacy and his tens of thousands of guards’ lack of true allegiance to this grimy vote stealer and usurper.
But this is the United States, where the military doesn’t run coups, and arms-bearers just follow orders, despite the worries expressed in the January 18 media stories.
Hey, if vote-stealing Biden is to be called to account, let’s say just handcuff him for a trip to the jail cell that leftists for years demanded that President Trump occupy.
Like any tinpot, coward dictator, the corrupt, bribe-taking Biden cowered behind the weaponry of his troops. He’d exploit credulous, doe-eyed Catholic prelates as long as they’re useful to him, but Biden’s government attorneys will come kicking down bishops’ doors with mandates on how they must obey his attacks on faith.
High-up Democrats’ trembling fears about safety in D.C. cast into stark relief the long months in 2020 when Americans from coast to coast saw their cities being burned and looted by criminals from Biden’s side of the political spectrum, yet the Dems arrogantly ignored the destruction and death, and even demanded that police be hogtied and defunded.
Suddenly, though, in Washington in January, they couldn’t seem to get enough boots on the ground. Tough fences swiftly were put up everywhere, even though Democrat liars had said year after year that walls are useless and show a mean spirit.
What hadn’t been allowed for the safety of most Americans quickly became mandatory for the welfare of the callous upper class whose goal remained the destruction of the traditional United States and moral rules.
Early last June, as left-wing violence grew in the U.S., Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) had an opinion article published in The New York Times that dared to suggest a limited U.S. military deployment, saying, “One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers.”
The woke Times “news” staff broke into revolt, with black writers even claiming that the senator’s opinion threatened their own lives, and “many non-Times journalists tweeted the same message in solidarity” with the Times writers, the Vox site said.
But when left-wing Dems are the beneficiaries of a massive armed lockdown, Times propagandists aren’t troubled at all. It’s obvious they don’t even believe the tunes they spout, but quickly turn on and off whatever they think serves their phony cause of the moment.
Meanwhile, conservatives were being deplatformed and restricted in their ability to communicate with others in what appeared a conscious campaign to pen them up for punishment while media, tech, and corporate billionaires waved their whips.
On January 19 pundit Dennis Prager explained leftists’ unique impatience with allowing other voices: “The answer, though the left will not acknowledge it, is the left fears dissent. And they do so for good reason. Leftism is essentially a giant balloon filled with nothing but hot air. Therefore, no matter how big the balloon — the Democratic Party, The New York Times, Yale University — all it takes is a mere pin to burst it.”
Bad Catholic Biden nervously knew that the majority of voters had rejected him in the presidential election, and that he was on a powder keg that could blow him right out of office. How would he enforce his left-wing agenda to make America even more sickly than his own impaired carcass while further imposing the moral depravities that he knew his Church condemned?
For this moment, Washington no longer was a place where ordinary Americans gathered to see their seat of government and even petition it. They’d be walled away while the usurpers tried to strap themselves securely into the chairs of command.
Oh, what a laughingstock presumptuous marionette Biden is. Don’t show him respect or deference, but only the defiance he earned. Let him know how eagerly his disappearance from the scene is awaited, either by exposure of his massive vote fraud or his shaky physical and mental condition.
By coincidence, the nation’s largest annual pro-life demonstration, the March for Life in Washington every January, was called off for “the protection of all of those who participate” after it had grown to hundreds of thousands of people since it began nearly a half-century ago, in 1974.
It endured in increasing numbers despite snowstorms and other adversities, a ferociously angry dominant media, and passing years including the elections of Dems Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and the starvation of Terri Schiavo. But in 2021 the march was changed into a mostly virtual event, offering as one major reason the military lockdown around the city engineered by pro-abortion fanatic Biden. What a defeat.
Biden wouldn’t have to be discomfited by seeing these throngs enveloping the capital’s streets but could continue drifting mentally in his world where failed Catholic bishops bow down at the snap of his fingers and abortionists destroying America’s future are hailed as saviors.
In national Democrats’ fantasy world, the country under assault by their violent minions in 2020 wasn’t important enough to notice or protect, not even right outside Donald Trump’s besieged White House, but in early 2021 they imposed a martial-law landscape to accompany their fairy tale that Trump supporters endangered them.
Welcome to a Communist-style era, thanks to unprecedented biological warfare launched by Biden’s allies in Beijing, where ordinary U.S. citizens are ordered off the streets but armed troops are everywhere. No longer is the presence of actual pro-life legions allowed in gatherings around the nation, but only the contrived propaganda of pro-abortion media spouted by liars.
Under the headline “Our Mail-In Elective Dictator,” commentator Jim Bovard posted at The American Conservative website on January 18: “More than 65 million people voted by mail, providing the Biden victory margin. In Pennsylvania, a key swing state, Biden ‘won 3 of every 4 mail ballots’ while Trump won 2 of 3 votes cast in person, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. While many mail-in ballots had been nullified for errors in previous years, almost none were invalidated this year.
“The Trump campaign or Trump supporters filed a barrage of post-election lawsuits, almost all of which were dismissed on procedural grounds,” Bovard continued. “Democrats claim the court rulings prove that no foul play occurred. But as publisher Conrad Black quipped, this is like saying, ‘I saw a dozen psychiatrists and none ordered a chest X-ray, so my lungs are healthy’.”

Joe Scheidler Remembered

Was it more than coincidence in timing that pioneer pro-life activist Joe Scheidler died at age 93 on January 18 in Chicago, a man who developed and employed techniques that were an inspiration to generations of others? If Biden is awakened by funny creaking sounds in his closet, will that be Scheidler’s gleeful spirit playing a little joke? Will those creaks sound like, “Repent, repent”?
Like other early pro-lifers, Scheidler probably figured his reform efforts would conclude successfully within a few years. Surely the U.S. Supreme Court and national powerbrokers would awaken from the horrors of what they did and reverse them. But the Culture of Death is a proud demon that adores spilling oceans of blood and is worshipped by blind adherents in the establishment.
At least Scheidler now meets the baby souls he couldn’t save and learns why God’s plan allowed what it has.
Meanwhile, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson warned on January 18 that the huge military presence along the Potomac actually was to send a message of Democratic dominance against Americans.
“No living American has seen a moment like the one we’re watching now,” Carlson said. “26,000 soldiers, that’s more than five times the number of American military personnel currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. That is more than twice the number of troops that President Lyndon Johnson ordered to Washington in April of 1968,” when riots followed the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
“. . . So no matter what they are telling you, those 26,000 federal troops are not there for your safety,” Carlson continued.
“Instead, unmistakably, the Democratic Party is using those troops to send the rest of us a message about power: ‘We’re in charge now’,” he said. “We run this nation from Honolulu to our colony in the Caribbean, and everything in between very much, including where you and your family live. Do not question us. Men with guns enforce our decrees, we control the Pentagon.”

“Domestic Terrorists”

Joy Pullmann, executive editor of The Federalist website, posted on January 19 that Democrat rule “means the acceleration of mass murder and forcing taxpayers to pay for it. It means, as my boss Ben Domenech puts it, ‘nuns are back on the menu.’ It means, as I’ve pointed out, the increase of public schools destroying children’s innocence and facilitating minors’ access to drugs that enable HIV-positive sex.
“It means an entrenchment of the institutional racism of critical-race theory in every institution possible, also pushed by taxpayer funds,” Pullmann said.
“It means Democrats rig more structures of American life against those who disagree with them, possibly preventing us from ever having a meaningful voice in our own governance again….It means frighteningly labeling half the country ‘domestic terrorists,’ a label that prepares for stripping more of our rights,” she said.
On January 18, Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, told The Wanderer that the lack of the National March for Life this year could lead to more local pro-life activities.
“Certainly the strangeness of 2020, and 2021 as well, continue with unprecedented changes in our lives, and even with the March for Life,” Pavone said. “However, especially with the threat of a Biden presidency, I can assure you that the pro-life leaders as well as all the grassroots pro-life people with whom we are in contact are fired up to be even more active and vocal this year.
“Though not having the uplifting benefit of the March for Life, they will, nevertheless, be ready to defend the strong pro-life progress that President Trump has made, starting with the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy (the expanded Mexico City Policy), which Biden will likely try to reverse,” he said.
“Any action like that needs to be met with a more informed and louder objection than ever, along with educational efforts in local churches and communities to show people how much President Trump’s policy lines up with moral sense and commonsense, and why we must start working now to reform our election laws and put pro-life people into office,” Pavone said, adding:
“Indeed, I suspect that the lack of ability to gather in Washington this year will lead to even more local events, and to an even stronger thirst to do something for the unborn to counteract the pro-abortion policies of the Democrat Party.”

Another Positive Aspect

A longtime activist in politics and elections who asked to use the pseudonym T.S. Pimpernel for reasons that The Wanderer will keep private also saw a positive aspect of the March for Life going virtual.
“In the present circumstances, the March for Life leaders have been taking strong but prudent steps in the fight to restore legal protection for the lives of all pre-birth human beings, which was preemptively revoked by the evil January 22, 1973, Doe and Roe SCOTUS decisions,” Pimpernel said. “With a 5 or 6 out of 9, more or less, pro-life majority on SCOTUS, Doe and Roe are being whittled away, albeit tardily.
“Pro-life activism now must shift from Washington to states, counties, and precincts to elect pro-life candidates and defeat the Democratic Party, with its now public and officially stated extreme pro-abortion and pro-euthanasia platform,” he said.
“The corrupt, evil leadership of the Democratic Party now has control of the U.S. presidency, and both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and many governorships, and state legislatures,” Pimpernel said.
“It is now a long race to correct this before it results in the collapse of the USA!”
