Using names such as Biden-Harris or potentially Harris-Walz to describe our government is deceptive, as is viewing the 2024 election as a continuation of our republican system. We will lose the ability to control our destiny if we fail to recognize the tactics our current governing regime employs to steal our liberty.

We can recognize these tactics from the regime’s actions abroad.

To protect us from centralization and abuse of power, our founders enumerated individual rights and created a system of checks and balances and due process of law. Joe Biden has been a puppet president for crass manipulators, including Barack Obama, who attempt to now deceive us with another puppet: Kamala Harris. The continued Obama regime’s goal is centralized arbitrary power over a subservient population without individual rights.

Achieving their goal requires being able to abuse the justice system against the regime’s political opponents. The regime achieves this by dividing the public into polarized, clashing groups and portraying its political opponents as evil people who will destroy democracy.

Regime supporters accept politicized justice as being necessary to defeat the evil ones without realizing that unrestrained power will harm them as well. Eric Holder and Merrick Garland can be in contempt of Congress without consequence while Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon go to jail for it. Biden can corrupt a foreign government such as Ukraine without consequence while Donald Trump could not even ask for a legitimate investigation without being impeached.

Trump and many of his close collaborators are subject to corrupt legal processes while Obama, Biden, Harris, and their collaborators commit crimes without consequence. Democrats in 2021 attempted to create an unconstitutional voting law and pack the Supreme Court to have the law upheld. This would have given the regime control of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive, effectively destroying our republican system.

The regime’s efforts to subjugate Guatemala reveal its limitless amorality and anti-liberty agenda. Biden and the State Department (DOS) took over criminal prosecution of Guatemala in 2010 and added control of its judiciary in 2016. DOS attempted but failed to add the presidency in 2019.

Recoiling from disastrous, arbitrary DOS control of their justice system, Guatemalan authorities recovered their judiciary in 2021. This freed Attorney General Consuelo Porras, who had slipped through the DOS filter, to enforce the law against criminal DOS agents. DOS had not realized that Porras, appointed in 2018, would be faithful to her oath to impartially apply the law.

With Biden fronting in the White House, DOS aggressively attacked Porras and openly but unsuccessfully intervened to keep her from reappointment in 2022. With Harris supposedly working to mitigate migration from Guatemala, the regime and DOS directed electoral fraud in 2023 to install their communist puppet Bernardo Arévalo.

Harris fronted for intimidation of Guatemala’s officials, judges, and private sector to do DOS’s bidding. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Assistant Secretary Brian Nichols both admitted in House hearings to extorting Guatemalan congressmen to help remove Porras.

Attempting to show progress on our southern border, the Justice Department in 2023 praised Guatemalan law enforcement, headed by Porras, for “historic” cooperation regarding human trafficking. However, under Biden-Harris regime direction, before and since becoming president, Arévalo has engaged in a criminal campaign against Porras. She is an obstacle to the Merrick Garland-type political-hack attorney general the regime requires.

The high court granted Porras an injunction against Arévalo on May 7. Her petition stated there was a “real, certain, and imminent threat” that Arévalo’s unlawful measures could result in attacks against her “physical integrity and life.”

In violation of the court’s order, Arévalo continued his public assault on Porras. On July 30, Porras petitioned the high court to begin criminal proceedings against him. Despite the clear, abundant evidence, the court is unlikely to even process Porras’s July 30 petition.

Arévalo’s arrogance and contempt for law mirrors and springs from that of his Biden-Harris regime puppet masters. Arévalo knows they have intimidated the high court into suppressing cases that would result in his removal from office, as the law and evidence of electoral fraud demand.

The Guatemalan civic association Liga Pro-Patria’s charter is to promote the rule of law. The Liga has stated Harris’s motives were to hide regime and DOS crimes and keep Guatemala “open for the flow of illegal migrants and narcotics to the United States.” The Liga exhorted Harris to support “the proper application of law” to Porras’s criminal complaint against Arévalo as a way to mitigate migration from Guatemala.

Democrats and their partner media are trying to separate Harris from responsibility for the border crisis. However, one of them, Axios, actually titled a 2021 report “Biden puts Harris in charge of border crisis.” Harris failed in her purported task of leading efforts to secure the southern border. She succeeded in her true agenda of pulling illegal immigrants and narcotics and pushing migrants and narcotics to the United States.

Harris’s actions in Guatemala, which have worsened the border crisis, align with lawfare against US political opponents, centralizing power in the US executive, and undermining our republican form of government. Regaining rule by the people and ending globalist elitist rule requires that we defeat Harris and dismantle the corrupt system that she fronts.
