On February 6, 2020, a day after the Senate officially acquitted him of the impeachment trial, Trump issued a statement
The U.S. Senate will hold an impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday (9). On Sunday, U.S. journalist and author Lee Smith analyzed that Democrats are insisting on impeaching Trump in order to get back at Trump voters.
Smith, author of Permanent Coup: How Enemies Foreign and Domestic Targeted the American President, spoke Sunday with SiriusXM satellite broadcaster ( SiriusXM’s “Breitbart News Sunday” program.
“It’s not about Trump,” Smith said of the impeachment of the 45th U.S. president, “It’s about punishing Trump voters, ‘We’ll tell you who you should vote for,’ and that’s what happened in 2016, right Right? That’s what Russiagate is all about. How dare you not vote for Hillary (Hillary Clinton)? …… Because you didn’t vote for her, we’re going to make it painful for you. We will use the president you elected as a tool.”
“By making Trump miserable, they are using him as a tool to hurt the American public. …… This will not only hurt Trump’s supporters, but with it will destroy the foundation of the Republic. That’s what they’re trying to do, that’s what impeachment is all about.” Smith added that this would further humiliate the American electorate, who believe they have the right to choose who governs them.
Smith noted that American elites are disenchanted with democracy. They particularly despise democracy, and not just in the abstract as a political system. They despise the people and believe they should only be ruled. The elites who now run America – most of them Democrats – disapprove of the idea that they must share power with other Americans.
By putting pressure on Americans who have profited from the U.S.-China relationship, and who have gained what Marxists call class consciousness, Trump has worked together to fight back against him, thus further cementing their relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. Smith said the pro-CCP American oligarchs are not in competition with the CCP, whose dictatorial regime is their role model.
“What is clear is that Biden‘s inauguration is a sign of the hegemony of the U.S. oligarchy, which sees its relationship with the CCP as a shield and sword against its own countrymen.” Smith further analyzed that, like the Thirty Tyrants of Athens, they not only despised the natural rights granted to all citizens by their Creator, but they especially hated the fact that those they ruled They not only despised the natural rights granted to all citizens by their Creator, but they especially hated the fact that those they ruled had the same rights as they did.
Smith concludes that history has left us with the following lessons: the bad news is that the Thirty Tyrants were so brutal that they expelled Athenian democrats, confiscated their property, and murdered about 5% of the Athenian population; the good news is that their rule lasted less than a year.
After the Peloponnesian War of 404 BC, the Spartan king Lysistratus occupied Athens and established a puppet government under an oligarchy. Under Spartan support, thirty tyrants, or “thirty tyrants”, led by Critias, ruled autocratically and exercised a policy of terror, causing widespread discontent, and the regime lasted for about eight months.
