Commentary | Why Is The People’s Capitol Still Fenced In Like A Communist Gulag?

By Sigrid Weidenweber

On February 8, 2021 the Epoch Times reported that evidence is mounting that the “Capitol Breach” was pre-planned and not by Trump supporters. The evidence was produced by the FBI and cleared any and all wrong-doing by President Trump in the matter.

Nancy Pelosi, however, saw an immediate need to fence the Capitol, in record time, with more than three miles state-of-the-art fencing. It is of such height, solidity, and topped by terrorizing high-tech razor-wire that, at the border, it would surely stem the flood of illegal immigration. Yet the Speaker of the House saw fit to hide herself and the rest of the Washington swamp from ordinary citizenry. Why? You might ask.

Well, it all became finally clear. It was to prevent the people from demonstrating at the Capitol for at least the first three months of Biden’s presidency. During these months, the plans to enshrine socialism and a one-party system, designed during the four years of Trump’s presidency, are to be enacted. They are so horrific a power-grab that the Democrat elite feared reprisals, hence the fence.

And here they came:  edicts, every one enacted without debate or input from Republicans, who represent the 75 million that did not vote for Biden.

The most egregious of the bills is H. R. 1. They call it the For the People Act. It will be, if enacted, the end of a two party system and the end of the Republic.

Only a few months ago I wrote an opinion piece in the Citizens Journal entitled Congratulations, America had its First Socialist Election. I opined therein, that a socialist election is one that only the Socialist/Communist Party can win because it is rigged. I predicted a Democratic/Socialist landslide win when I saw Democrat governors were rigging the voting system. In this article I also predicted that the Pelosi, Schumer, Biden crowd would use the win of the presidency to install legislation and safeguards to the voting system, preventing any other party than the Democrat party to win.

To clear up any doubt about my message, here are the facts. Everything that has kept California totally Democrat will be enshrined in this bill for the entire country:

This bill already passed in Congress. It will go before the Senate very soon!

H.R.1- The “For The People Act of 2021”:

The Democrat’s Frontal Assault On Free and Fair Elections.  In a highly unprecedented move, H.R. 1, Congress’s highest priority bill, went directly from printing to the floor of Congress for a vote with no other committee review except the Rules Committee. It was not sent to any other committees, leaving no chance for any review or amendments. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer simply do not care about any bi-partisan input or even any input from their own party members on this. Pelosi knows she is likely to be out of power in 2022, and so are the Democrats unless they can lock in permanent power by implementing biased and unfair election rules before then. This would ensure a one-party rule, making elections irrelevant in the future because the Democrats would have overwhelming majorities.

This bill takes all the worst features of California elections and nationalizes them.

• It removes all constitutional powers from every state legislature to determine how they run their own elections.
• It eliminates each state’s rights to regulate voter registration.
• It forces the implementation of early voting.
• It calls for automatic voter registration for all “people” (there is no “citizenship” requirement).
• It allows same-day voting registration with no I.D. required.
• It promotes online registration and no-fault absentee balloting.
• It calls for 30 days of voting and would mandate acceptance of ballots up to 3 days after the election without requiring proof of when those ballots were cast.
• Voter I.D. requirements, which 35 states have now, would be banned.
• States will lose most of their ability to clean up voter rolls. In fact, it would make it a criminal offense for a state official to reject a voter registration even under “color of law” when that official has reason to believe the registration should be rejected.
• R. 1 forces states to allow 16 and 17-years olds to register to vote but does not provide any way for states to keep underage people from voting.
• It requires each state to allow felons to vote even before they have completed their parole or restitution terms.
• Ballot harvesting will be allowed in every state, regardless of what the state legislature says.
• Implement taxpayer-funded federal campaign donations – the government will use taxpayer dollars to match at $6.00 for every $1.00 donated.
• This bill will reduce the number of Federal Election Commission members from its current 6 (3 Republicans and 3 Democrats) to 5, allowing the party in power to control election authority.
• It takes away a state legislature’s authority to draw congressional districts and gives it to an “independent” commission who would be unaccountable to voters.
• It would mandate the inclusion of all aliens regardless of citizenship status in all redistricting counts.
• It would empower the IRS to consider and investigate the political and policy positions of nonprofits organizations before granting tax-exempt status.
• It would prohibit any lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of H.R. 1 anywhere except in the District Court for the District of Columbia and would severely limit the legal representation and due process rights of challengers.

This is the summarized version of a bill so large that most of the House representatives will not take the time to read through it. One can assume the Senators will not either. Reading the gist of this bill makes me suddenly feel young again—living in Communism again, where, as the comedians said in private after an election, “Our beloved communist party has won once again with a 125% majority.
