Everyone now knows that the Supreme Court is actually the Supreme Law of the Land and no President, Governor, Mayor , Congressman, Senator, etc. can every be sure that the Courts will not at any time step in and simply select the candidates of their choice. The vote of the people is now a privilege granted by the Supreme Court and its Federal Courts, but is a privilege they can revoke at will, thus throwing out all votes and voiding them as they choose. The Supreme Court has finally come out of the closet to let America know they are the Supreme Power in America and no President or elected official will ever again be 'safe' from their power should they elect to use it.
Under such a system as exists in America today, Democracy is dead. It is 'allowed' to put on its voting show every 2, 4 and 6 years, but the Democracy itself if now the step-child of the Federal Courts, and only by its grace will the 'façade of democracy' in America be allowed to continue.
This is the final blow to Democracy in America, as it has now become an Oligarchy. Strangely enough this was the same manner in which Adolf Hitler took over Germany. In his book "Mein Kampf", he outlined the procedures for undermining a democratic government, and most Americans don't even know that his plan worked. The only reason he was able to do it so easily was the German people after WW1 were disarmed, almost totally. Only their police forces working for their courts were allowed to retain the weapons. Thus one he gained control of the Courts and the Police forces he was able to preselect the candidates the German people were allowed to vote on, and since all the candidates he preselected were members of his Fascist Party, the people believed they were still a Democracy because they could still vote for their elected officials. It never occurred to them that the preselection of the candidates voided the power of their votes. Thus voting, as it has now become in America became during the time of Hitler's rise to power simply a form of political window dressing, a façade of voting procedures to placate the masses and hide the fact that their democracy no longer existed. But because the people could still 'vote', even though it was an empty gesture, they continued to think of themselves and call themselves a 'democracy'.
This same fate would have befallen America during the early 1920's and 30's as Mein Kampf had made its way to America at that time. And just as it happened in Germany, a single large power hungry and greedy group of professionals passed in every state a series of laws called State Bar Acts that outlawed the practice of law based upon citizenship alone, and implemented these Federal and State Bar Acts to limit the practice of law and the holding of Judicial offices (judges, at every level) to only those citizens now preselected by the United States Supreme Court and the Supreme Courts of each State. Thus the practice of law, which prior to passage of the Federal and State Bar acts granted the power to practice law to 100% of America's Citizens, which was why it was once called the Common Man's Profession, but now it limited the practice of law to only one/quarter of one percent of the population. And every American lost the right to directly seek redress within every court in America at every level, Federal, State and local. Now they only had indirect access to the Courts and all citizens, except the new Judicial Lawyers, would have to kow tow and pay to these now fully empowered Judicial Lawyers for access to the Courts of America.
And since the Courts control and dictate the actions of the various police departments throughout America this new group of Judicial Lawyers could have followed in the steps of Adolf Hitler and could have taken over the entire nation. However, there was one major obstacle to carrying out the Mein Kampf plan for quickly undermining a democracy and the obstacle to total domination by the Judicial Legal Profession was America had never suffered defeat in WW1; thus, at the time of the rise of the Judicial Legal Profession they faced an electorate more heavily armed than any in history. Hitler simply took control of the only remaining supplies of weapons in Germany after WW1 and after that he made himself dictator and simply shot or under force of arms removed all opposition to his takeover. But in America it could not be done so simply, because no matter how many policemen carried guns and would be willing to use them to ensure the rise to power of the Judiciary and it new 'army' of preselected/pretrained/and monitored Judicial Lawyers; there would always be far more people with guns in their homes, with the expertise to use them, and many having already fought in a bloody World War to safeguard their idea of Democracy. So even though the Mein Kampf plan worked enough to establish a new ruling class with powers now limited only to themselves, they could not take that last step of shooting their opposition or placing large numbers of citizens in concentration camps for disposal, although America did do this in WW2 to Japanese Americans, but although the newly empowered Judicial Legal Profession did have Japanese Americans arrested and did rob them of all their monies and properties, they did not follow the Hitler plan to dispose of all the Japanese Americans, although that final solution was also discussed at the highest levels of government in America. Thankfully it was rejected, and all Japanese Americans were released at the end of WW2, but their money and property was never returned to them. There was no justice ever granted to them for their incarceration, their financial losses or their property losses. The Judicial Lawyers simply could not make a 'clean sweep' of America's democracy as it was simply too heavily armed to do open battle with the millions of armed citizens who do not trust the leadership, goals and policies of big government, thus they jealously guard their Constitutional right to bear arms in their homes.
Sadly, most Judicial Lawyers today are trying to disarm America and many Americans believe the rhetoric of the Judicial Lawyers, thus they support this move and want to end the right of citizens to bear arms. They simply cannot fathom that that will be the final step in the Mein Kampf plan to undermine what at one time was the greatest democracy on the planet. The Judicial Legal Profession has become the "New Romans" and they want to initiate the final stage of the Mein Kampf plan and openly take control of all citizens, armed forces and assets of America. And based upon the ignorance of most American, and their lack of interest in studying the mistakes of the past, the Judicial Legal Profession's future success now appears assured. Most Americans will become the peasants ruled over by the new Judicial aristocracy. An aristocracy with unlimited power to do as it pleases, thus the now still slightly closeted Oligarchy, will soon come out of hiding and assume its new role as the Supreme Rulers of America.
And this is how Hitler took over Germany, and how his descendent American followers will also take over America. Democracies have always been vulnerable to such dangers. Aristocracies always seek to rise and take over any group of people who are not watchful. Thus they have risen time and time again. Sadly this time people will still be voting, but they will one day wonder why the choices they have don't seem to be their own. And like sheep they will still go to the ballot boxes and vote and thus tell themselves, just as the people of Germany did under Hitler, that they are a Democracy where the 'people' still have 'rights'.
What Bugliosi does, simply, is put forth with irrefutable logic how the Supreme Court stole the election for their favored candidate. The evidience is clear from their own self contradictions, lack of support in law, and bizzare conduct, which mainstream media is far too timid and/or superficial to properly report.
Most of the content has shown up on The Nation's web page under the title "None Dare Call it Treason," and this edition fills out the basic text with footnotes. You can read that if buying this volume is too much of a burden.
My favorite line, which is in response to those very confused souls that thought the Florida Supreme Court was trying to steal the election and the noble U.S. Supreme Court merely stopped them, is as follows (paraphrased): You do not steal an election by wanting all the legal votes counted, which is what the Florida Supreme Court wanted. You steal an election by stopping the counting of all legal votes, which is exactly what the U.S. Supreme Court did.
Tough to get around that kind of logic, although many try.
