The issue at hand is much deeper than a Council vote of 11 to 4, allowing Bobby Williams to keep his seat as councilman, misrepresenting Ward 2 residents in Keene. Based on his vile and cold-hearted comments celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Bobby apparently represents the far left’s elitist mindset marinated in resentment and hatred for Traditional American Values rooted in Christian faith. The blue-collar working man and woman trying to make ends meet, pay the rent or mortgage, and put food on the table for their families have understandably had some difficulty accepting an apology that, in reality, was more of a challenge and a warning to the entire Keene Council.
Bobby’s half-ass apology was a warning to his cohorts, and by extension to Keene residents. This provides the muscular working class a window to an untouchable world of unaccountability and no consequences for elitists who spew out hateful rhetoric and/or action that celebrates or incites political violence. This world is saturated with groupthink networks and thought police with the sole aim of spreading flames of eternal grievance and keeping the troops in line with the approved narrative. Toward what end? Pushing gender confusion, destabilization of the traditional nuclear family, dehumanization, collapse of social capital and cohesion, erasure of factual history, tradition, freedom, and faith.
Influence Peddlers
Trump’s DOJ is investigating funding sources that may have supported paid agitators to sow division and chaos through hateful rhetoric, protests, and riots. Those “spontaneous” protests and riots were well-financed, orchestrated, and carried out. There is chatter that the Soros Open Society Foundations could be facing charges from arson to material support for domestic terrorism.
Former FBI director James Comey was indicted. Additionally, Obama, Joe Biden, Jim Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, and others may be in the process of being charged with treason against the USA. The tide is finally turning. Under the leadership of a resourceful businessman turned President by popular vote, the thinking working class is finally beginning to trust their own gut senses and question why truck deliveries of pallets of bricks, cinder blocks, and tons of professionally printed protest signs magically appear in places with clearly no construction activity whatsoever readably available to be distributed to mobs of paid agitators convening at the pick up place to then use them as projectiles to smash things.
Intentionality and planning violence is not as spontaneous nor “mostly peaceful” a protest as the fake legacy media would have us believe. While we have been deeply bamboozled and deceived with lies and disinformation to no end for quite some years, the muscular working class has had enough already and has now been emboldened to believe their own eyes and ears again.
So much so that they now realize that inhabitants in this globalist elitist world don’t just wake up one morning and decide to spew out hateful rhetoric to incite political violence. They begin to realize that violence and destruction are what they do and/or are hired to do. They have been “educated” and mentored as far-left ideologically bent activists with dark souls and twisted minds to hate American Traditional Values; elitists have become aficionados of atheistic Marxism and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They don’t listen to logic, facts, or history. They are, after all, elitists. They have a mission that gives them identity and purpose. They contribute nothing to benefit society; they are takers, not givers; they destroy, not build. Consequently, armed with far-left ideological indoctrination energized with hubris and hatred, they think they are superior and know more than anyone else; they hold blue-collar workers in contempt.
Blue-collar workers don’t usually follow or celebrate elitist collective delusional narratives against everything American. The boomerang is that those held in contempt rebelled, and out came a wellspring of a national popular movement because people just had enough of being under the elitists’ thumb. People in many segments of society have awakened to the fact that the elitists have not been listening to them nor representing their values for quite some time. It’s a popular rebellion against dominant woke liberal culture. This popular rebellion is creating a following toward a spiritual and patriotic revival among Americans of all ages. Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he was very successful in reaching young people; he spoke their language and offered them faith, patriotism, and gave them back their voice that was marginalized and almost stamped out. Charlie also gave the young and old the courage not to be silenced or bullied. Charlie was a giver.
Back to Bobby Williams
Getting back to Bobby Williams and the enabling Council that voted to help him keep his seat on the Keene Council, apparently, and for now, they maintain the elitist woke status quo founded on DEI and social justice. They also don’t listen to the muscular working class; they are behind the times and don’t yet realize that this issue of letting Bobby keep his seat on the Council is not a done deal. I expect that in a few years these woke, self proclaimed priests in the Council, that presently constitute an untouchable protected class, will be swiftly replaced via elections because people just don’t like it when they are told there is no mechanism to remove a councilperson for spewing out his hatred for Charlie Kirk, celebrating his assassination, offering a half-a$$ apology – all the while hiding under the guise of “free speech.”
Charlie was all about peaceful dialogue and debate, but when one with opposing views, like Bobby, openly celebrates and supports assassination, as Bobby did, people are left with a bad taste in their mouths. Did Bobby’s heartless rhetoric amount to a criminal act? Perhaps not. If not, does the support of assassination by a public official have consequences? Of course. Does it embolden and inspire acts of violence by ideologically bent sympathizers who align with Bobby’s far-left ideology? It’s possible. We know of instances where unstable persons committed violence fermented by hateful rhetoric. Relative to accountability, consequences, and professional conduct by a person holding public office, the elitist woke bastion of liberal and far-left ideologically driven Keene Council gave Bobby a free pass and, in so doing, has lost all credibility as a true representative governing body for Keene residents.
Just as Charlie’s assassination generated a revival of faith and patriotism, I foresee and expect a peaceful and popular uprising by the muscular working class in the coming years at the polls to replace the present far-left Keene councilpersons (who are ideologically driven untouchables) with candidates from the working class with accountability and professional conduct emblazoned on their hearts and founded on American Traditional Values rooted in Christian faith.
