On their monumental hit, “Sign Of The Southern Cross,”
Black Sabbath vocalist Ronnie James Dio proclaims, “I won’t accept it anymore.”
Hundreds of courageous citizens are stepping forward from
out the inner-city vote-counting sanctums and finding their voice. Their
voices, combined together in a condemnatory chorus, bode ill for Joe Biden and
the Democratic Party.
The evidentiary pendulum notched down last week, ever
closer to the lifeblood organs of a concerted and thuggish scheme now strapped
down on a slab by Rudy Giuliani and the President Trump legal team. At the very
least, any potential Biden/Harris administration is doomed to asterisk from the
standpoint of historical legacy. It is in no way clear that they came close to
winning the 2020 election.
At best, President Trump gets his rightful four more
years.
It may not even be Biden’s fault. It’s quite plausible
that he cannot grasp how thoroughly and blatantly the operative apparatchiks
plotted to commit the political crime of this or any century. Vice-presidential
tag-along Kamala Harris, reeking of Venezuelan-reminiscent totalitarian
stacked-deck vote counts, would likely know, however.
In America, even as the “good crisis” represented by
COVID is not wasted by the Left, citizens can still come forward and testify.
They are coming forward by the score, under penalty of perjury and jail time,
some near tears, others with righteous indignation, and some possessed of the
quiet calm of people who have witnessed something awesome and terrible.
Something that speaks of the end of empires, the collapse of republics.
These brave whistleblowers, along with a winning
plurality of Trump voters, are hoping that somebody, some court, some
legislature, the Supreme Court, steps in and reverses the targeted plague of Democrat
Socialist thievery that becomes more evident with each passing hour.
The cable news media landscape is toxic with fallout from
the battle.
At Newsmax TV, new home to countless numbers of Fox News
refugees blown out of the ratings water by FNC’s astoundingly bad election
night coverage, the overarching mantra is, “It’s not over.” The mantra wavers
back and forth between sounding like a “Hail Mary” to sounding prescient.
At the old mother ship, stalwart Sean Hannity sits behind
the wheel of a similar mission, to root out and expose an alleged epidemic of
election fraud perpetrated under cover of darkness in the battleground states,
with Laura Ingraham riding shotgun. On Wednesday, the network ran, live and
uninterrupted, Trump’s election integrity speech the president characterized as
possibly “the most important speech I’ve ever made.”
But things have changed at FNC, and Newsmax is poised to
capitalize on the fact that after years of benefitting from the ratings bonanza
garnered by Trump coverage and rallies, the Murdoch brothers’ programming
“brain room” is proceeding on the assumption that Biden is the president-elect,
despite growing evidence to the contrary.
The major-network Trump-haters cut into the president’s
Wednesday speech to decry his message. No shocker, they are lockstep
discounting the alleged compromised election integrity story. On election
night, CNN’s Van “Crybaby” Jones brushed away his joyful tears long enough to
proclaim, in so many words, that leftists shouldn’t be too happy. That after
four years (to paraphrase) of an uncouth, corrupted racist bigot in the White
House, millions of Americans still voted for Trump.
Jones is right about one thing: the nation did vote again
for Mr. Trump, and evidence mounts that 2020 was no squeaker. It is eminently
possible that had it not been for Democrat fraud on a grand scale, our 45th commander-in-chief
would have won one of the biggest landslides in U.S. history. It is also
possible that radical leftist Jones had an inkling that the fix was in, and is
only surprised about how strong Trump’s showing was, and how far the vote-count
manipulators had to go to stem the tide.
Now, Georgia looms on the horizon like the Southern cross
so epically captured in what is possibly the greatest song of Black Sabbath’s
Dio era. The run-off will be a sign of whether or not evil can ride again, in
the wake of evil. Democrat victories there—despite spotlight focus on every
disreputable nook and cranny of the attempted heist—will come as a sure sign
that the game of integrity has become inalterably subsumed by leviathan powers
that will never countenance a Donald Trump, or America First leadership again.
In the wake of that potentiality, some media analysts
predict that cable news ratings will collapse. They will collapse in part
because of the absence of ratings-generator Trump; alternate programming
choices will rise to the fore. If the COVID vaccines prove effective, the
nation may abandon what might become in 2020 retrospect a farcical news media
and its empty cycles and liar polling for the experience of actual life itself.
If election results are perceived by a majority of the
voting public to be fraudulent, what possible difference will “fair and
balanced” make? Who’s going to give a damn about a fixed horserace? For
right-leaning voters, if there is no legitimate chance for Republicans to win,
why put up with all the palaver? For the older set, why raise the blood
pressure?
Conservatives will walk away from paying attention to
legitimized fraud. Democrats, having moved the goalposts so many times the game
is meaningless, may come to find CNN and MSNBC’s toothless, content-disabled
conspiracy-TV diatribes to be so much tilting at nonexistent windmills.
Much more importantly, if Giuliani and company
incontrovertibly prove election fraud to the extent that Trump won, and the
courts, key elected officials, and elected entities like the state legislatures
punt in the interest of “moving on” or dispatching a president and vision they
did not find expedient to their purposes, a deathblow will be inalterably dealt
to the self-governing ideal that the nation was founded upon.
If Trump’s election integrity pendulum fails to sever the
lifeblood viscera of the Democrats’ stolen election, Americans will see the
sign: their vote doesn’t matter. And a new American Dark Age will begin.
