The Facade of Democracy
Democracy is a facade in America and when the term is thrown around by Democrats its new meaning is tyranny.
During Biden’s latest visit to Kyiv and Warsaw, the President defended his Administration’s escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war and pledged unlimited U.S. taxpayer support in the name of defending democracy.
But is Ukraine a democracy?
In 2004 the Bush administration and the West amplified claims that the Ukrainian presidential election had been rigged after the Moscow backed candidate Viktor Yanukovych defeated the U.S. and West backed candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
Western pressure combined with mass protests in Ukraine — known as the Orange revolution — resulted in the overturning of the election results and a redo election that fulfilled the West’s desired outcome. Yushchenko was elected President, instead. Afterward, then-President Bush called the Orange Revolution a "powerful example of democracy for people around the world.”
In 2010, however, Viktor Yanukovych — who had been accused of stealing the 2004 election — ran again and won. This time his victory was accepted and the results deemed fair by international election monitors.
But in 2014, after Viktor Yanukovych rejected a loan from the E.U. and accepted one from Russia, instead; the United States backed a violent coup d’età to oust Yanukovych from power.
In a leaked phone call between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, Nuland enthusiastically affirmed her support of Arseniy Yatsenyuk to become Ukrainian Prime minister in a post-Yanukovych government. “Yats is the guy” Nuland said, even while Viktor Yanukovych remained the lawful President of Ukraine.
It appears that the definition of ‘democracy’ is rather fluid. In fact, it doesn’t really mean democracy at all; but, rather is an authoritarian and un-democratic term used by self interested U.S. politicians to defend and promote their own desired outcomes. Last time I checked violent coup d’eta wasn’t emblematic of ‘democracy.’
The Democratic Party and even many RINOs assign the same un-democratic meaning to their use of the term ‘democracy’ in the United States, as well.
The U.S. supported the 2014 coup d’eta in Ukraine, which has been called a ‘Revolution of Dignity.’ But protestors on January 6th, who were overwhelmingly peaceful — the only murder was committed by a capitol police officer, who shot an unarmed female protestor named Ashli Babbitt — were called ‘insurrectionists.’
Cries of voter fraud in Ukrainian elections in 2004 were met with serious concern by the U.S Government. The mass protests were encouraged and supported and the overturning of the Ukrainian election results heralded as a win for ‘democracy.’
Yet cries of voter fraud in the U.S. election in 2020 were denounced and dismissed. The U.S. rushed to declare the 2004 election results in Ukraine illegitimate. The U.S. rushed to declare the U.S. presidential election in 2020 the most free and fair in our history.
Is America even a democracy?
The decades long power struggle in Ukraine is not dissimilar to that in America; our power struggle is between Democrats and Republicans — or perhaps more accurately today between the establishment and conservatives — and in Ukraine between pro-Moscow and pro-western candidates.
American interference in Ukrainian politics is aimed at ensuring that Ukraine embraces the west, rather than Russia and our attitude appears to be ‘the ends justifies the means.’ The same can be said of the Democratic Party and the various bureaucracies here at home, who seem to embrace lawlessness and an ‘ends justified the means’ mentality when it comes to maintaining their monopoly of power in D.C.
The very people who supported a coup d’eta to oust the duly elected President of Ukraine in 2014 orchestrated a coup d’eta in the United States in an effort to oust President Trump. This was the Trump-Russia collusion coup; an attempt, which ultimately failed.
Just as Democrats had no regard for our own election results in 2016, they had no regard for the election results in Ukraine, when they successfully ousted Yanukovych.
The lifeblood of a democracy is free speech and the general diffusion of knowledge, which ensures the voter is informed. Yet the Democratic Party and the FBI colluded with social media companies to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal during the 2020 election and falsely dismissed it as ‘Russian disinformation.’ Was this democratic?
The Democrats continue to pursue their relentless witch hunt against former President Trump in hopes of ultimately preventing him from running for re-election. This effort too is justified with claims of ‘defending’ or ‘protecting’ democracy.
Democracy is a facade in America and when the term is thrown around by Democrats its new meaning is tyranny.
‘Voting Rights’ legislation and other Democrat led lawsuits intended to weaken election integrity are promoted as necessary means of protecting democracy. President Biden calls his political opponents a ‘threat to democracy.’ MAGA, Christians, and conservatives are a ‘threat to democracy.’ Anyone and any thing, which stands in the way of the Democratic Party’s agenda is a threat to democracy.
Democracy today means nothing more than fulfillment of the left’s agenda and their consolidation of power. Neither Ukraine nor America are democracies. Democracy is tantamount to destruction and both Ukraine and America are being destroyed. Democracy is under attack; in the name of protecting democracy, of course.
