Opinion From a Former Judge
A Letter to an Editor that so perfectly encapsulates how 'they' got us here
December 5, 2021
I am a student of law whose age is 85. My first year of college was 68 years ago. One class I took was political science. A half-page of my textbook essentially outlined a few steps to overturn a democracy:
Divide the nation philosophically.
Foment racial strife.
Cause distrust of police authority.
Swarm the nation’s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally.
Engender the military strength to weaken it.
Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation.
Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime
Control all balloting.
Control all media.
What was printed in 1954 as a possible diabolic nightmare has become an emerging reality. I hope that Americans will unite enough to pen a good finish – Go dwelling.
Keith M. Alber
California
This is fact-checked, confirming that it was he wrote it (When a left-wing-nut site like Snopes marks it true, you know they simply weren’t able to find the tiniest of cracks).
Judge Alber has since passed. I can’t find an obit with details.
Meantime, his legacy lives on in Digital Dystopia Amerika 2023.
(Chad) Jones explained that in May 2022, he had shared a letter attributed to an 85-year-old retired California judge that suggested many of the troubles seen in society today had been laid out as early as the 1950s to detail the steps needed to “overturn a democracy.”
“I went MIA on social media for a while for sharing some pretty innocuous things,” he said, though only the letter was provided as an example. “The idea that they’re stifling voices as part of the normal course of business is terrifying.”
...The post was reportedly shared over 11,000 times by mid-May 2022 even with Jones getting booted from Facebook and losing access to it himself. “When I looked at the letter, it really struck me as a variation of Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals,'” he explained.
As a host on the right-wing, conspiracy theory (that’s how WickedPedia describes it) network Real America’s Voice pointed out, he missed a couple of big ones:
THE GOVERNMENT-CORPORATE (AKA FASCIST) CENSORSHIP INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
and
THE WEAPONIZATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES, TO PERSECUTE PERCEIVED POLITICAL ENEMIES
Meantime, the icing on the cake? What effing difference is any of it going to make once the World Health Organization takes control of the entire planet? The despot war criminal pedophile we have as president & his handlers have handed our sovereignty over to these technocratic fascist communist monsters. Stay healthy. Stay frosty. Stay resolute.
