The battle in America is not what it appears to be. It’s not Republicans vs. Democrats, conservatives vs. liberals, right vs. left, or even Marxists vs. Capitalists.
The real battle is “bigs” versus “smalls”.
The 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats. No doubt in my mind. The left pulled out all the stops – uncontrolled mail-in ballots, truckloads of fake ballots in key precincts, ballot harvesting, rigged voting machines, news media and social media disinformation and censorship, hell yes. Big Time. Their game plan was so perfect that Republicans, caught with their pants down, question whether they will have to cheat to ever win a future election. While thinking Americans understood the Trump agenda and continue to support his border-security, pro-defense, America first policies, they were unable or unwilling to stop “the steal.”
Unrecognized in all the turmoil is the role that big-money corporations play in the transformation of society, economics, and government.
In today’s political-economic climate, the rich continue to get richer, and everybody else just doesn’t matter. Charlie Kirk recently interviewed Tucker Carlson. Two of the sharpest tools in the American shed, together they zeroed in on the cause of my insomnia: ordinary Americans are no longer in control of our destinies.
“It’s the bigs versus the smalls,” Tucker said. The fight for power in America is no longer between the left and right. It was not long ago that Republicans held claim to Adam Smith’s notion that the invisible hand of free enterprise generated profits which raised all boats. Now, big businesses have learned that, in cahoots with a swampy central government, they can destroy small business, and hog all the profits for themselves perpetually in unholy financial complicity.
Our central government now unabashedly colludes with the federal reserve bank to create a monetary environment where everybody agrees there is no consequence for accumulating debt – interest rates can be held to zero. The huge corporations will endlessly borrow funds to expand their operations at the expense of moms and pops who played by the rules: work hard, save money, don’t go into needless debt. The communist Chinese model works! At least for those at the top.
Amazon, Google, and Facebook, were first in line. It didn’t take long for other large corporations to see what was going on. Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, AT&T, Disney, all professional sports, WalMart, the big banks, big pharma – they were not going to be left behind, so they adopted the leftist “hate America” playbook that seemed to be working so well for the swampers and all the “bigs”.
Recently I found that I needed a pair of wiper blades for my truck. I could have driven less than a mile to one of the zillion WalMart stores or one of the three remaining national auto parts chain stores. But I decided to patronize a small business, so I went online to eBay and found a pair at what I thought was a small, independent dealer. I placed the order, and to my surprise, the very next day there was a truck in my driveway with my wiper blades. He handed me my blades in a WalMart bag. Obviously, my eBay dealer had just ordered my blades through WalMart, which I could have done myself.
Even though I got my order quickly and at the right price, I was pissed because I thought I was buying from an independent small business, not the WalMart Monster. The smalls, in order to survive, now have to work with and through the bigs to survive. They get the crumbs while the bigs get bigger.
Call me a skeptic, but I have misgivings about giving all of our lunch money to the big bullies.

On the mark as usual. But it goes deeper than corporate greed and government corruption. Much deeper.
The “Bigs” are the elites controlling the corporations and institutions both public and private profiting from the demise of the “small”.
Who are the “Elites”? Who, for example in the Ford Foundation (not the Ford Motor Company), decided in 2016 to give the self-described communist Black Lives Matter (dedicated to the destruction of America) 100 million dollars. Think about that for just a minute: a charitable American Foundation giving 100 million dollars to a violent anti-American communist front group! Just who on Ford’s board of directors thought that was a good idea? Who?
The “Elites” reside in corporate offices, head the agencies of the monstrous administrative state, occupy elective offices at the local, state and federal level.
How is it then that all of these elites suddenly and together are able to impose socialist anti-American policies and positions? How is it then that these elites are able to upend our system of constitutionally guaranteed individual liberty and replace it with a police state suppressing all forms of opposition.
I submit that it is not sudden. Advocates of Marxist ideology (Communists) have been penetrating Western institutions infiltrating dedicated agents into positions of power and influence for at least a century.
At first they were successfully organized and financed by the Soviet Union. By the time the Soviets collapsed, they had become self-sufficient operating in secret in the shadows spreading their deadly poison.
Now they have stolen sufficient control and achieved sufficient power to come out from the darkness not into the open but disguised as progressive reformers hiding behind a massive and coordinated campaign of lies and deceit.
I need not state the destruction they have wrecked upon Western culture and institutions.
Karl Marx devised a handbook for elites. Elites are intoxicated by power and see the path to communist rule devised by Marx as the means to achieve it.
Communism is a deadly disease. It metastasizes rapidly and always concludes with despotic one-man rule. It can only be imposed by stealth and can only be maintained by brutal and deadly force.
Thanks, Tom. Unfortunately, try as we might, we can’t avoid doing business with Big Business since their tentacles are everywhere. I try to mitigate the effect by cutting my use of these services to a minimum, and where I have a choice, will forego use completely of their services and goods. And Jon, of course, is right in his comments. The tentacles have been in-growing for centuries, I dare say. Perhaps we’ll finally know the truth exposed some day. Sooner rather than later, I hope.
Pastor Shahram Hadian will be in Montana in September to discuss this “election steal”. He is originally from Iran and has seen this type of coup before. He informs and warns of what is ahead from a Christian perspective. He is doing a 4 city tour: Kalispell, Missoula, Great Falls, and Lewistown. You must hear this former muslim, turned Christian pastor’s perspective on our beloved republic.
Thanks Garnett – wish I could be there, this is the kind of work that can make a difference.
