Over the Memorial Day weekend, Sundance at Conservative Treehouse posted a piece on how America suddenly went off the rails, and it’s
persuasive. Here’s a big chunk of it:
. . . As some continue to say with
jaw agape, WTF happened?
The answer “why” is not
complicated…. not complicated at all.
In 2008, the ‘activists’ took
control of government.
In January of 2009, the leftists,
community organizers and activists took control of the systems they had opposed
for the preceding 50+ years.
In January of 2009, and inflection
point took place; an inflection point that no one realized in forethought,
scale or consequence.
Starting in 2009, all of the
systems of federal government were now under the control of the people who
previously fought against the systems of federal government. Everything
since is an outcome of that inflection point; that’s why everything flipped.
All of it, and I do mean every
scintilla of the thing; every single granular detail and example you can put in
front of me can be traced back to that moment when the activists were no longer
outside government railing against the corrupt system they hated.
Starting in January of 2009, the
activists took power over the United States government, and every outside
institution, including media, necessarily and ideologically followed that
inversion.
Starting in 2009, the systems and
institutions of the U.S government now came under the control of the radical
activists.
In the eight years that followed,
the mission of every institution was changed. Government was weaponized
on behalf of the leftist activists who now took control of it. Everything
thereafter is a consequence of this change.
When I use the word “suddenly”, it
is only for understanding the inflections point that came as a
consequence. In actuality, the severity of change inside each institution
took place over several years. That’s why the intensity of the weaponized
and corrupt systems became worse over time.
As each institution was infiltrated
to become more aligned with the mindset of the activists, the institutions
became more radical in their targeting and weaponization.
The activists went from being
outside government to being inside government.
Suddenly, the left-wing supportive
media changed mission priority from railing against corrupt government, to
defending the corrupt weaponization of govt.
Suddenly, the FBI went from
targeting domestic threats, to targeting only the domestic threats defined as
against the interests of the left-wing activists.
Suddenly, the outside activists
went from being defined as social elements creating turmoil, to social elements
now being defended and even promoted.
This is why we see outside activist
groups like the Dream Defenders, New Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter, Occupy
Wall Street and more recently ANTIFA, as protected and supported by the
activists inside government now in control of the systems and institutions.
All of the social, cultural and
political dynamics that changed traditional “liberalism” are easily understood
once you realize and accept that activists took control of the power centers of
the U.S. government.
Everything that followed, including
our current state of social and political turmoil, is simply a natural
conclusion of that fundamental change.
The radical activists are now in
control of the institutions of power. This core shift is what created the
dynamic of a very visible two-tiered justice system. Each institution was
weaponized and continues to be weaponized against those who are not aligned
with the activist ideology. . . .
