Lee Smith: Impeachment ‘Isn’t About Trump,’ but ‘Punishing the American Voters’

Democrats’ impeachment push against former President Donald Trump is a manifestation of the ruling elite’s contempt for those it views as its subjects, said Lee Smith, journalist and author of The Permanent Coup: How Enemies Foreign and Domestic Targeted the American President, on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.

“It is not about Trump,” Smith stated of the impeachment pursuit against the 45th president. “It’s about punishing the American voters. ‘We’ll tell you who to vote for.’ This is what happened in 2016, right? This is what Russiagate was about. ‘How dare you not vote for Hillary Clinton? … Because you didn’t, we’re going to make you feel pain. We’re going to use the president you elected as a mechanism.'”

“By putting Trump in pain, they used him as an instrument to hurt the American public. … It’s not just going to hurt Trump’s supporters. The purpose all along has been to undermine the foundations of the republic. That’s what they’ve done and that’s what impeachment is about. It’s to further humiliate the American voter for thinking that they have any choice over who may govern them,” Smith added.



Lee drew a parallel between the aftermath of the Peloponnesian War and Democrats’ seizure of the White House and both chambers of Congress in a column titled, “The Thirty Tyrants.”

Lee wrote:

[Sparta established a] friendly government Sparta [i]n Athens upon defeating it after 27 years of war in 404 BCE. For the upper caste of an Athenian elite already contemptuous of democracy, the city’s defeat in the Peloponnesian War confirmed that Sparta’s system was preferable. It was a high-spirited military aristocracy ruling over a permanent servant class, the helots, who were periodically slaughtered to condition them to accept their subhuman status. Athenian democracy by contrast gave too much power to the low-born. The pro-Sparta oligarchy used their patrons’ victory to undo the rights of citizens, and settle scores with their domestic rivals, exiling and executing them and confiscating their wealth.

The Athenian government disloyal to Athens’ laws and contemptuous of its traditions was known as the Thirty Tyrants, and understanding its role and function helps explain what is happening in America today.

Lee said the current government is primarily composed of “an anti-democratic faction” similar to “the 30 Tyrants that governed Athens.”

“The American elite, they resent democracy,” Lee remarked. “They despise democracy. They despise, in particular, not just democracy abstractly as a political system. They despise the people that they feel only deserve to be ruled over. The idea that they should have to share power with other Americans — by nature of our system, by nature of the Constitution — is repugnant to this elite that now governs the country, and the majority of it is in the Democratic Party, of course, but there are elements in the Republican Party.”

Lee lamented that Republicans seemingly prioritize the political welfare of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) over the Democrat party’s and broader left’s attempt to criminalize political dissent.

“The big problem is that there is no Republican Party at this point to stop them,” Lee determined. “It’s basically the American public all on its own. … The Republican Party is concerned about saving Liz Cheney’s bacon from the fire. That’s what it cares about. While it’s been saving Liz Cheney … the left, the press, and other institutions have been trying to redefine Trump’s supporters — 75 million people — as ‘domestic terrorists.'”

The election of Trump and commensurate spread of nationalist and populist ideologies accelerated the coalescence of a ruling elite broadly unified through its financial ties to and political support for China, Lee assessed. He wrote:

The pro-China oligarchy is not competing with the country from which it draws its wealth, power, and prestige. Chinese autocracy is their model

What seems clear is that Biden’s inauguration marks the hegemony of an American oligarchy that sees its relationship with China as a shield and sword against their own countrymen. Like Athens’ Thirty Tyrants, they are not simply contemptuous of a political system that recognizes the natural rights of all its citizens that are endowed by our creator; they despise in particular the notion that those they rule have the same rights they do. Witness their newfound respect for the idea that speech should only be free for the enlightened few who know how to use it properly. Like Critias and the pro-Sparta faction, the new American oligarchy believes that democracy’s failures are proof of their own exclusive right to power—and they are happy to rule in partnership with a foreign power that will help them destroy their own countrymen.

Lee concluded, “What does history teach us about this moment? The bad news is that the Thirty Tyrants exiled notable Athenian democrats and confiscated their property while murdering an estimated 5% of the Athenian population. The good news is that their rule lasted less than a year.”

Great read. We are in a very bad place as US citizens.

I'll add a video. He sums it all up nicely. I can't get this video to imbed.

We are in a bad place. When millions of armed Americans will not deal with a scurvy pack of limpwristed communist faqqots, we have a problem.

Again, where to begin ?

A good read, kwg.

Where to begin? Getting involved with your local Republican Party. Weed out the true swampers. Going to the caucuses, volunteering your time, some money, writing letters to the editor, talking to friends, becoming a school board member or any local or city/county board of advisors. This is what the Dems do. They are ubiquitous.
Gear up for 2022. The socialist Dems cam't help themselves with their fastback into socialism while they ruin the County via the southern border. They are handing the Republicans much
in the way of talking points for 2022 while they raise the debt to over $30T and begin to talk about raising taxes.
As is said, they are creating multiple crises - never let them go to waste!

Maybe the Democrats will declare a RedDawn situation
and all us Wolverines will stand up with just cause.

You are right of course.

Fortunately I live in a fairly solid Red State and in a specifically Red area within the state.

My question was to oldgraywolfe about the guns and using them. He has yet to answer as is usual.

It's not just the swampers, it's the globalists. Those who will sell out America for foreign money and power. Especially China's money and power. In reality it's not just China's money. It's money from the whole developed world because of the super rich that sends their work to China and allow their own people to starve or go un-employed.

In 1994 Bill Clinton traded our sovereignty (the free world's sovereignty) for Favored Trade Status for China and sold America and the world out. Bill clintoon has always been a useless bastard. He always will be. America and the world will be a better place once him and his scum bag wife are schitting themselves in some Covid infested nursing home.

I say it over and over again but it ain’t about guns. The communist left figured out along time ago that in a wealthy America it’s about taking over the levers of power. Ie the media, educational system, courts and government, soon to be if not already the police and military, big tech, finance, big business, pop culture. Too many on the right keep waiting for a gun war while the left takes over everything with hardly a shot fired.

China is kicking our ass without a shot fired and the left is doing the same. Taking over the levers of power and the minds of those under 40 through the educational system and pop culture.

You, good Sir, fully comprehend the situation.

Very well said .

Kwg, I think that you need to go back and start with Nixon.

Dido. I didn’t read your full response but Nixon opening trade with China and taking us off of the gold standard were both long term disasters

The traitorous deeds of Nixon and Clinton will pale in comparison to what the pair we have in the White House do over the course of the next four years. If you think sleepy Ol' Joe is bad wait till Madam President Kamala takes over.

It's really obvious here that the governor is hellbent on punishing people. They're petty little tyrants.

Yes, Richard Nixon is culpable as well. But think about it. All the crap the dems are dropping on us are a distraction. We should be expecting something much bigger. I have the feeling something huge is about to drop on us. Making white supremacists the boogie man of 2021 and all the illegals coming across the border. They have us looking to the west but maybe we should be looking east. They have us squabbling amongst ourselves but something really ugly is out there. I think Lee Smith is trying to tell us something and it hasn't clicked in yet.

China is ruling this planet now. They have taken over. As soon as they can beat up in a face to face war or a nuclear war, Its over.

Don’t forget Obama, while he didn’t DO all the things I thought he would, he certainly laid the groundwork for his successors
