She's Canadian, but more American in spirit and mind than millions of citizens born in the United States.

. . . My dad served on a dozen committees, and two or three times a week, after work and dinner, would go out to meetings. When we moved to Vancouver, his uncle, Orson Banfield, was much of a muchness. Orson had served on every committee of every non-profit enterprise from the city theatre complex to alderman, every hospital, every church organization, the deaf, the blind, the Red Cross, community nurses, Meals on Wheels. A whirlwind, as was his wife. Orson’s family had built the city, arriving when there were fewer than 4,000 people in Vancouver. His grandmother had started the Vancouver General Hospital in a tent with her friends from church.

They would have caught voter theft. They would have thought it a transgression so enormous, it would have shaken the foundations of their world. But by my generation, everyone was so alienated from the cogs and wheels of government no one understood anything. Ask the average golf club member - not a clue. The average book club member? Bewildered. The average middle class retiree? Disaffected.

In contrast to our heedless rich, the people who built the U.S. and Canada in their heyday in the late 1800s and early 1900’s their social lives centred around the Protestant church, to which they went pretty much every day. I have a diary of a summer place used by all the grandees from DC to Quebec City, that describes daily life, for men, women and children for four long months. It was exactly the opposite of Julian Fellow’s Gilded Age on HBO, which characterized those people as social climbing mean girls who spent money like there was no tomorrow. They were Christian, they practiced virtue. It was the topic of conversation. Think the internal monologues of Middlemarch’s heroine. That’s the old culture, the true culture, up and down the scale once survival had been assured. All that has been erased so completely no one knows it existed.

. . . This guy. Scott Presler would have been welcomed at those balls. This is the kind of man they admired. He is the most visible grass roots voter fraud activist right now, and he is tireless. And, here’s the big secret: happy. Rooting out voter fraud is a grass roots activity. It started there, not in the legislatures or DC. I’d argue that solving this problem will rebuild the country’s foundation. Solving all the other problems will rebuild the populace. We can’t trust the bureaucracy. Their discovered thefts to date in the U.S. are in the hundred of billions now. They are infiltrated by people who hate us.

. . . I live in a 2050 community, what the U.N. and WEF want for our future, run basically by the UN’s Transitions and ICLEI, forced to align with Sustainable Development Goals. While the goals are all feel-good prose on the surface, beneath are thousand page policy and rule-making books to which every village and heath must conform. These regulations have been implemented in secret over twenty years. And that foreign control means that citizens cannot participate as independents.

When Benjamin Franklin said, “A republic, if you can keep it.” that is what he meant. Without hands on participation, we will lose everything and live once more, like serfs, tossed hither and yon by the whims and bad ideas of the powerful.

That’s where we are now. We dropped the ball. We allowed power to be taken from us.

That’s why the theft. Which is everywhere, city, state, provincial, federal - every significant jurisdiction is stolen. Our public service has been entirely hijacked by Marxists forcing behaviour. Or else.

. . . I love all this so much. Election theft explains so much of the chaos, misery and lack of prosperity, and now, as of today, the entire government has thrown its power behind the tens of thousands of men and women who have been fighting this for seven years and counting.

Secretary Mullin again, yesterday:

“There’s no question the intelligence community from the FBI, CIA and even other places within DHS, not underneath President Trump’s leadership, but that was underneath the Biden administration, kept it from President Trump and the American people in Congress. We are currently going through those lists. We will hold each one of them accountable.

Some people aren’t here. Some people are no longer in the agencies. Those that are, we will be held accountable.

Those that abused their role in this will definitely be held accountable because there is no excuse. If you purposely disobeyed the law and you purposely went around statute, then you have an accountability, you have a legal reason to be held accountable. Yes, sir.”

This is a massive win for the grassroots populist movement. It will be studied all over the world and duplicated. Just like the moms flooding school board meetings chased woke out of the schools, just like the anti-migrant marches in Europe, just like the farmers fighting for their rights, populism is taking power back. Leaders are fearful, and at least one government is ready to prosecute.

I return to Scott Presler’s declaration of happiness. I am not kidding when I repeat ‘happy’. This is the way. Not self-indulgence, not therapy, not acquisitions, not even a happy family life. It’s this. Fixing what’s broken right here, right now. The path of virtue. The path towards a good future. For everyone.
