THE CAMEL’S NOSE UNDER THE TENT allegedly comes from an Arab proverb first alluded to in writing in 1858. The point of the story is that if the camel is able to get its nose into the tent, it will soon be followed by its head, then neck, then front legs, and eventually it’s entire body. Being bigger than the tent itself, the camel will destroy the protection originally provided to the owner of the tent, as the tent material will be suspended from the camel’s hump, and the tent rope and stakes will be swinging freely from both sides of the camel.
We all recognize the significance of the dangers posed by this proverb. Driving around a “Danger, High Water Ahead” sign, led to the “Stupid Motorist Law” in Arizona. You are likely to find yourself floating down a raging river on top of your car waiting for rescue. If you get a new credit card, and you begin charging to it wildly before you get your first bill, you are likely to find yourself paying exorbitant interest rate fees for months to come because of your inability to pay off your ever-increasing debt each and every month. Diving head first into shallow water can possibly lead to death or paralysis due to a fractured neck and severed spinal cord after contacting an obstruction beneath the surface with your head. Going 95 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour speed zone can lead to a deadly crash, or if you are fortunate, only a massive speeding ticket. If you allow a robber to get his foot in the door, you could become a victim of a sexual assault or death, or if your fortunate, only a victim of theft. These are all different forms of going beyond what one would consider to be a normal limit, while taking reasonable precautions, and going beyond can often have unintended or catastrophic consequences.
So, what does a camel’s nose under any tent have to do with THE POLITICAL PANDEMIC? EVERYTHING! There is a disease sweeping through our Nation, not of biological origin, but of political chicanery. In blog after blog after blog, we have identified ways in which our FREEDOM and LIBERTY within our Nation are being systematically obstructed, dismantled, and obliterated. Few, if any, of these attacks have been full-frontal in nature, but rather insidious flank attacks, couched in promises of unity, progress for all, and a reclamation of the soul of our Nation. Let’s review a few ways this Nation is under siege to bring more clarity to THE POLITICAL PANDEMIC.
Our national system of laws is under attack from THE POLITICAL PANDEMIC. The Georgia Star News (Chris Butler, investigative journalist at The Tennessee Star) reported November 10, 2021 the following facts. “More Than 70 Georgia Counties Can’t Produce Original 2020 Election Ballot Images, Says Election Integrity Group.” To be more exact, “74 Georgia counties are unable to produce all the original ballot images from the November 2020 election.” Ballot machines “. . . cannot tabulate results without the images.” We are learning this trend is occurring in multiple states, including Colorado (Patty McMurray September 22, 2021), and Arizona (The Arizona Sun Times, October 12, 2021). Federal law requires that election officials retain election records for 22 months, and under Georgia law, they must be retained for 24 months. What we have here is a violation of established law. Where is the Department of Justice (DOJ)? Why is the violation of this law not being prosecuted? If the retention of election records is required, then they are required to be retained for some purpose, and that purpose is to be available for audit should discrepancies or fraud become apparent. Whether discrepancy or fraud occurred is not germane to the questions posed before, what is germane is the destruction of election records. There has been of late a growing list of broken laws going unpunished. While thugs roamed many of our major cities in 2020 attacking stores and police with fire bombs, fireworks, and other weapons, usually going unpunished and even avoiding arrest, many, who simply sought to display their right to protest peacefully at our Nation’s Capital, have been placed in prison, some yet to be charged (so much for adhering to Amendment VI to our Constitution, “. . . the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury . . .”). Several have been given multiple-year prison sentences, not for having destroyed anything, or injured anyone, or even for carrying a weapon, but they have been politically prosecuted simply for their very presence. It is the “. . . right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (Amendment I to the Constitution of the United States of America.) When powerful elites in Washington D.C., and the Department of Justice (DOJ), choose to inflict biased enforcement upon a few patriots, be assured that it is just the camel’s nose under the tent indicating what lies ahead for most who treasure the concept of equality under the law, as well as our FREEDOM and LIBERTY.
When did it become acceptable to allow the restriction of free speech? Again, refer to Amendment I of the Constitution of the United States of America. “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech . . .” Yet our Congress sits idly by while corporate elites, in concert with our current government, make no attempt to preserve this right for our citizens when their free speech is “SHADOW BANNED” (restricted), cancelled, or labeled as “misinformation” or “disinformation.” The current government, in concert with most media outlets and major social media platforms, allows the promulgation of their chosen narrative, while censoring and prohibiting a free exchange of ideas, thoughts, and even scientific facts. Our current executive branch of government has acted overtly and covertly to favor, and be in concert with, large corporations or businesses to make mandates favoring chosen agendas. Congress has a duty to preserve and protect all citizen’s free speech, even if they do not agree with everything that is said. If you believe you have not been touched by any of these nefarious actions, just wait, as the camel’s nose is under the tent, and you can be assured that if the course our Nation is currently on is not altered, THE POLITICAL PANDEMIC will certainly infect you.
If you say you are not impacted by election fraud, the killing of our men and women in the bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, the invasion of illegal aliens at our southern border, the diminishing of our prestige abroad, the rising gas prices and loss of our energy independence, the rising costs of food and other living supplies, the diminishing of the value of the cash in your pocket or purse, the increasing National debt being further added to by the “woke” minority, the illegal mandates forcing mask and immunization compliance, or purposeful inflammation of divisive racial rhetoric by the explosion of Critical Race Theory (CRT) . . . . . then put a mirror under your nose because you are not breathing and undoubtedly dead! The camel’s nose is under your tent, you need to wake up and take back control of your tent. If you care about your Nation and your FREEDOM and LIBERTY, you can no longer be silent! Christine Anderson said: “Compliance and Silence Enables Tyrants.” The current government’s plagiarized global mantra, “Build Back Better”, is better defined as “FUTURES FAILING FASTER”. Do not allow yourself to be infected by THE POLITICAL PANDEMIC! As a thermostat controls the temperature, we need to be in control of our destiny. Listen and hear the cry from every Patriot grave that calls to demand our attention . . . and our action.
