Opus 2021-019: Headlines: That Scary Little Phrase

We are living in a developing nightmare.  Everyone who can tell the difference between a light bulb that is burned out and one that is just turned off has heard about how Amazon has been involved in attacking the competition for Twitter, Parler.  It is an amazing attack that would make the fascist regimes of the 1930's say, “That’s my boy.”  They removed their app so no one can access a new account.  Then they cut them off of the internet and removed them from the Amazon marketplace.  That is all scary enough but did you read the entire list of people dropping them.

The part that should send ice water into your veins is the part where it says that the list of people dropping them included their lawyers.  They did this to President Trump also.  I don’t know if it is just social pressure, subtle innuendo or blatant threats of physical violence but our new Progressive* overlords are making it impossible to even wind our way through the legal maze.  They are making it impossible to get a lawyer.

As so many other oppressive moves of the Progressives* this goes against the spirit as well as the letter of the Constitution.  Notice this from the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution,

“have the assistance of counsel for his defence (sic).”

I don’t think it ever entered the minds of the Founders that a political party would take the step of threatening the lawyers so that the enemies of the Tyrant could make no defense.  Your Miranda rights don’t matter anymore because no lawyer will take your case.

The swamp is spreading instead of draining.
