By Any Means Necessary?

By Patrick Hall

Race has been an obsession for the Democratic Party their entire history, and it still is.   And it has indeed been politically successful for them.  They don't care anything about blacks as people today any more than they did back in the days of slavery.  Blacks were a tool for Democratic Southerners to make money, and now blacks are a tool for Democrat politicians to gain (and retain) political power.  Mark Lewis


It sounded so cool, hip, radical chic, and edgy in the 1960s when I first heard the phrase, (By Any Means Necessary) used by cultural left and anti-American icons such as Stockley Carmichael, H. Rapp Brown, Abby Hoffman, Bill Ayers, Frans Fanon, and others.  It was considered avant-garde by us wallowing in our self-assured and youthful political idealism.  We were all quintessential youthful idiots at the time.  To paraphrase the late communist social activists Saul Alinsky and Frank Marshal Davis, a mentor of Barrack Obama, the phrase was generally considered to mean leaving open all options and political tactics to disable, if not destroy, one's political adversary. The result was all that mattered. To obtain and nurture the cultural left's goal of social justice and equality in an inherently corrupt and unfair Western and capitalist culture such as ours. The mindset, or lack thereof, was for achieving the desired end by any form or degree of intimidation, guilt harvesting, and "mostly-peaceful-violent-protest." In the case of the current Harris for President campaign, outright lying or total black-out and negation by the mainstream media and the DNC (one in the same entity) of Kamala Harris' far-far-left socio-political creed follows the exact blueprint.

 Besides, in the minds of the miseducated now controlling the nation's schools, government institutions, the mainstream media, religious denominations, and even in the past three decades, are making dangerous in-roads in places like the Naval Academy, West Point, and the increasingly woke United States Air Force Academy, there isn't a problem.  As a nation, many of us enter the upcoming 2024 Presidential election with eyes wide shut.    Besides, to the cultural-political left, which has infected many in both political parties, unethical and immoral behavior was just meaningless "social constructs." The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was hardly a surprise to those of us horrible MAGA-supporting, implicit race bias-driven, racists, socio-politically confused Neandertals. After all, many within the established Democrat Party viewed Trump as Hitler. He represented the most evident threat to Democracy.  Here is a quick side note.  We are a Republic!  

As former President Obama once quipped about Conservative Americans, 'They cling to their bible and guns with antipathy toward those not like them."  So go ahead, shoot the loudmouth and mean-old orange man.  He is, after all, Hitler, a political Satan according to such wise and deep-thinking Negroes like Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, NAN, and their Progressive compadres.

 Remember, "by any means necessary" is the engrained secular doxology chanted by many within the polity of the Democrat Party.  Once more, it sounds "so cool!" By any means necessary, was the mantra or political faith statement that was the driving force behind many of the tactics, fabrications, and outright lies that the Democratic Party employed against Donald Trump ever since he came down the escalator of Trump Towers in 2015 to announce his candidacy. No distortion or slander was speared to handicap his 2016 campaign, his Presidency, and Trump's current run for the office. The Democrat election machine backing VP Kamala Harris most likely has another "similar" Fusion GPS phony and dirty Russian Dossier bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton Campaign. That phony dossier served as the segue to several FISA warrants against Trump.  

This later served to kicked-off the Russia Collusion lie, which tried to peg Donald Trump as a Russian agent or surrogate. After a two-year investigation, it turned out to be a big nothing. Yet the damage was done to hobble and craft a false narrative about Trump and his administration. Two impeachments of the former President quickly followed this. Also, let us not forget Hunter Biden's laptop, which outlined a host of questionable and illegal deals that Bidens engaged in for their financial gain.  During the 2020 Presidential debate, Joe Biden told us that according to 51 top intelligence officials, the Hunter Biden Laptop bears all the marks of classic Russian disinformation.  That was a bald-faced lie.

We now know that the Hunter Biden Laptop was a legitimate source of Biden's serial dishonesty, if not criminal misconduct. In retrospect, Trump was mainly guilty of not being a Democrat.  The targeting and arrest of people in his administration, followed up by the almost Hollywood-produced Mari Lago Raid after the January 6th "no guns nor ammo Insurrection," were all meant to tarnish Trump's time in office. Let us also not forget the Vyshinsky or Stalin-like use of the legal system to try to place Trump in prison by a collection of low LSAT attorneys such as Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Kamala Harris, Fani Willis, and her boyfriend. It came under the sanitized term "Lawfare." But it was a modern-day Leninist attempt to silence or jail your political opponent. However, half the country has been conned into hating the evil, "at times insufferable loudmouth¹  LEADER," Donald Trump did little to nothing to curtail the use of Lawfare to destroy one's political opponent.

A sidebar:  In the Fall of 2023, I penned a two-part article about Donald Trump entitled "An Insufferable Jerk at Times, But!" In it, I tried to articulate why Trump, essentially a non-politician, rubbed the political class and greater polity the wrong way.  But as I would tell anyone in a minute, I think the most significant difference between Donald Trump as President and others (including Barrack Obama) is that Trump loves the country.

In retrospect, the cases against Trump were paper-thin. What started as a political fishing expedition turned into a full-fledged witch hunt, fanned by a Democrat-dominated media. They were hellbent on demonizing and destroying Trump by any means necessary.

In the upcoming Presidential campaigns, look for Kamala Harris, our Pravda-like media, and the DNC to go full boar and try to craft a narrative (i.e., a big lie) to get VP Harris into her continued marionette role, which the DNC administrative state has so carefully manufactured. If I can offer any advice to Republicans and people who love the country, it is this.  

If someone wants to destroy you by any means necessary, believe them!
