"Clear and Present Danger"

Chairman West's Monday Message for 1.18.21





"Clear and Present Danger"

 

"There are millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans,
who somehow need to be deprogrammed and punished before the country should move
on to reconciliation." -- Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Columnist and MSNBC
Contributor

 

"There has to be consequences. And once you get those consequences, people
have to take a second look at their actions, and they have to be afraid to do
the types of violence that we saw last week." -- Nikole Hannah-Jones, New York
Times Magazine

 

"Southern states are not red states, they are oppressed states. The only way
our Country is going to heal is to liberate southern states." -- US
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York)

 

Perhaps there are those of you who recognize the title of this week's missive
from the Tom Clancy novel of like name. Of course, there was the film
adaptation, with Harrison Ford playing the protagonist, Jack Ryan. The book,
and movie, centered on the "clear and present danger" that drug cartels posed
to the national security of these United States of America. I would kindly
offer that when one considers the aforementioned quotes, we are looking at an
even more grave clear and present danger to this Constitutional Republic.

 

It bears repeating, once again, the maxim of former Obama Chief-of-Staff and
Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel, "never let a good crisis go to waste."

 

The progressive socialist left, known as the Democrat Party, has taken free
license to use the condemned events of Wednesday, January 6, 2021, to openly
discuss such abjectly disgusting concepts as deprogramming and re-educating
American citizens. Needless to say, we have all heard of these ideals
previously in history, from people such as Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, the Kim
family of North Korea, Pol Pot, Castro, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, and Nicolas
Maduro. History has taught us -- well those who are still studying history --
words such as stalag, gulag, work camp, concentration camp, indoctrination
camp, and re-education camp, with the latter currently being used against the
Uighur Muslims in China.

 

We have, in the past week, heard use of the word 'censorship' more often, and
the CEO of Twitter has informed us, the American people, that we can expect
more of it. Censorship is just a nice PC way of saying fascism. As a matter of
fact, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight Committee, also
lamented this past week about the need for the government to "rein in the
media." Something tells me she is not talking about CNN or MSNBC, certainly not
taxpayer funded, left-leaning PBS.

 

The left has fully adopted, and is implementing, the 13 Saul Alinsky Rules for
Radicals, namely these:

 

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that
every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this
because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.


8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the
opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from
the flank with something new.


10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will
maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing
pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential
for the success of the campaign.


11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a
positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because
the public sympathizes with the underdog.  

 

It is imperative that we realize the progressive socialist left -- these
Marxists -- do not subscribe to the premise of hypocrisy. They do not embrace
any semblance of rules (save Alinsky's radical ones), standards, or
constraints. What they will do is encircle their enemy with their imposed
rules, standards, and ideals of decency, all for their gain.

 

Take for instance, Democrat Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri, whose floor
speech last week was laughable. Here is someone speaking to condemn the
violence of January 6th when she actually led a violent march against two
people. Yes, Cori Bush is a BLM activist who led the mob that called for the
rape, murder, and burning of the home of Patty and Mark McCloskey of St. Louis.
I know this for a fact since my wife Angela and I hosted the McCloskey's for an
event here in North Texas, and they stayed at our home for two evenings.

 

If we are to believe that there is some standard, or language, that the House
Democrats are embracing as "incitement to violence," heck, then why is Cori
Bush a member of the US Congress? I demand that she be charged for her actions,
which are on tape, and removed from Congress. After all, the Texas Democrats
are accusing Texas Republican members of Congress of "inciting an insurrection"
because they did not vote for the absurd impeachment charade...and they are
fundraising off of that.

 

As well, Texas Democrats are demanding Senator Ted Cruz be disbarred because
he objected to the elector slate from states where there were clearly
unconstitutional issues of changing election law, and not by state legislators.

 

Funny, I have not heard a single Texas Democrat elected official address the
violent history of Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. Ayanna Pressley,
Sen. Kamala Harris, or Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who claimed Antifa was a myth. I
have not heard a single Texas Democrat elected official condemn the violence
over countless months that we have seen at the hands of Antifa and Black Lives
Matter.

 

Let us not forget that it was four years ago at President Trump's inauguration
when violent leftist mobs took to the streets in Washington DC burning cars and
destroying property, etc. Heck, I think they were rewarded with BLM Square in
DC. The day after the inauguration, it was Madonna who stated, in Washington
DC, that she dreamed of "blowing up the White House." Would any Texas Democrat
official like to condemn this?

 

This begs me to ask a very simple question. Knowing how delusional,
vindictive, maniacal, and violent the left has been, in the face of Democrat
silence: why would our own Texas Republican State House majority vote last week
to allow Texas Democrats to hold Committee Chair positions? Please, spare me
the offensive and condescending excuse of "Colonel West, you don't understand
our traditions and how things work." If y'all recall, myMonday Message from
November 9, 2020
<[link removed]> addressed
this issue.

 

See, Texas Democrat elected officials represent a clear and present danger to
the Legislative Priorities of the Republican Party of Texas getting passed.
Once again, elected Republicans come up with these rules, traditions, that mean
nothing to the Texas Democrats. But, they use increasing and unceasing pressure
to force weak Republicans to acquiesce to their demands. Does anyone believe
that a Texas State House majority under Democrats, socialist leftists, would
offer Committee Chair positions to Republicans? Hmm, how many Republicans are
Committee Chairs in the California State Assembly?

 

The progressive socialist leftists know that they have two years to run amok
before the midterm elections. They have not forgotten what happened to Barack
Obama in 2010. They are going to seize this moment to inflict as much harm upon
our nation and potentially make it impossible to ever be unseated from federal
government power. Here is what must happen:

 

1. The Republican states, and states with Republican state legislative
majorities, need to toughen up. They all need to put together 10th Amendment
committees. We must have better coordination between red State AGs and State
Legislatures to serve as a xxxxxx against the leftist ideological agenda. We
need to start thinking about how to respond to a "packed" Supreme Court...which
in my estimation would be illegitimate. Republican states must become "Liberty
Sanctuaries."

 

2. Republican State Legislatures need to examine the possibilities of
divesting their state portfolios of Big Tech stocks who are advocating
censorship of American citizens. This is already happening in Florida. Hmmm,
why ain't Texas leading on this? As well, it should be made clear that any tech
companies in Texas embracing the idea of censorship of American citizens are
not welcomed in the Lone Star State.

 

3. Republican State Legislatures must enact strong election integrity laws,
meaning voter registration roll reviews, voter ID laws, and firmly disallowing
universal mail-in ballots. Hey, Texas Democrats, that is not racist, and I am
Black...Oops, forgot, Joe Biden said that I ain't really Black. Remember,
states and counties run elections, not the federal government. But, beware,
Nancy Pelosi already has a House Bill ready that would nationalize elections.

 

Bottom line, Republicans need to "cowboy da hell up" and use Alinsky Rule #8
against the left.

 

In closing, I ask y'all to refrain from sending me emails and text messages
about how scared you are, or that the country is lost. That is exactly what the
left wants you to feel. The Spirit of Texas is not one of fear, it is one of
resolute and principled defiance. Not acquiescence or appeasement to Democrats
and giving them Committee Chair positions.

 

If there are moments when you are starting to feel a little despondent, I
leave you with the mock-Latin motto of World War II US Army General "Vinegar
Joe" Stillwell, "Illegitimi Non Carborundum

Steadfast and Loyal,
