We cannot connect the dots.
Our ancestors didn’t just speak of liberty but strived for the better angels among us. Even as we had slaves, we fought for their emancipation.

At one point of time Tiennamen square sent a glimmer of what liberty meant when a sole protestor stood amongst the tanks. The authoritarian regime won the day. They have far advanced beyond America in mastering AI technology. Just flip open the journals of science in the cutting edge areas of science and you will see a preponderance of names of Chinese origin.

America however took pride in Diversity and Inclusion. This meant that the American team that wins the Math Olympiad is made of Americans of Chinese origin.

It was not America that was the magnet for the brain drain into the Crown Jewels of Learning and Research, but LIBERTY where the mind is free to explore without yielding fealty to any ideal or emperor or great statesman.

Today there is a Trojan Horse called the Big Beautiful Budget bill with a weapon of mass destruction included in a clause to neuter any intelligentsia left in contemporary America in the ranks of the Judiciary.

This is the revenge of the deplorables we are seeing today. The grift is being advertised as necessary and a sign of intelligence.

Americans though are still shielded from the consequences in terms of privations that follow the loss of liberty.

That unique brunt of the dagger of authoritarianism is manifesting itself not from Tiennamen square but from their compatriot authoritarian regime in Russia.

Ukrainians are sacrificing for the ideals of liberty and democracy today with a hijacked American government with a Trojan horse to blow up liberty in this land.

Roman Sheremeta, Associate Professor of Economics at Case Western Reserve University has a Facebook page detailing the Ukrainian struggle.

Professor of American history, Heather Cox Richardson, MIT faculty among her credentials does just like Professor Sheremeta, chronicle the takedown of democracy in the USA.

Please visit her Facebook page for the daily analysis of the events unfolding that share a grim forecast unless we speak up.

Here is a link to one such piece that speaks to the shutdown of the channels that provided transparency. It is akin to the thief knowingly destroying the evidence.
