The Coup: Not a John Updike Novel (VDARE)

 

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes:

The news on Wednesday was very bad. With the confirmation of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, despite her explicit support for President Obama’s Executive Amnesty, the last chance of stopping this unconstitutional coup through congressional action has been lost.

The disgrace of the GOP Congressional Leadership is now complete. Indeed, TEN Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), voted for Lynch—raising real doubts as to whether they ever really intended to oppose Obama at all.

When the Central American “unaccompanied children” farce began last summer (it appears to be starting up again now), VDARE.com was among the first to argue Obama’s Border Dissolution Is Treason. The Answer Is Impeachment. It Would Work. (July 6, 2014).

And impeachment did enjoy a few minutes of fame. But it was hurried aside amid assurances that there were other, more “moderate,” less “risky,” solutions.

These are now utterly discredited and Obama has apparently escaped unscathed.

Only one brave judge currently stands between America and Amnesty. And, given the politicization of the courts, who knows for how long?

Of course, there are still solutions to the current mess. VDARE.com will, of course, continue to emphasize the efficacy and practicality of an immigration moratorium, the ending of birthright citizenship, attrition through enforcement, strategic deportation etc. etc.

And it’s still entirely possible that these solutions could be adopted. That is the significance of the fact that, for the first time, a major Presidential contender—Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin—has just questioned the impact of out-of-control LEGAL immigration on Americans’ employment and incomes.

But, as Editor of VDARE.com, I’m also going increasingly to focus on Plan B—how Americans can salvage enough from the wreck of their great Republic to protect themselves, their families and, ultimately, the historic American nation. A renewed defense of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Association will be just the beginning.

Please help us (tax deductibly) in this original and vital endeavor.

Not just your children’s future but-- increasingly obviously--your own will depend on it.
