“I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.” Vice President Kamala Harris
Americans are being subjected to one of the most blatant and obvious brainwashing campaigns in modern history. Utilizing the power of those social media platforms and mass media outlets, the American left is engaged in a true battle for the soul of America. It is a battle that is being fought by destroying the concept of absolute truth and replacing it with situational facts that can be changed to meet the immediate need.
The most obvious current example is the rehabilitation of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris is often mocked for one of her favorite sayings as being gibberish, “I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.”
However, when deconstructed, this saying reflects two diametrically opposing philosophical constructs.
The first, on a spiritual level, is a direct reflection on the fundamental element of Christianity — that salvation is offered through the blood of Christ, and your sins are washed away through repentance and acceptance of Jesus’ saving grace. That is a description of a soul unburdened by sins committed.
However, Harris does not mean an eternal Christian perspective when she speaks about being unburdened by the past. Taken in a political/secular sense, this unburdening reflects a complete unmooring of America from our founding and history. It is a rejection of the DNA of America found in the Declaration of Independence, summarized by the immortal words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Harris’ imagined unburdening also undoes the Constitution, which is based upon a system of majority rule with minority rights along with a separation of powers. The left is very fond of referring to our nation as a “democracy,” offending those of us who know it is a republic.
Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris will continue to pretend that “democracy” is facing an existential threat should President Donald Trump be re-elected.
They both know that to have a system of majority rule absent protection for the minority or any semblance of individual rights is a toppling of our Constitutional government, yet they bleat their ‘democracy’ nonsense to an ignorant group of voters who get their information from Chinese controlled TikTok.
As we watch the attempts to unburden Kamala Harris from her past, we should not be surprised. After all, when the ends justify the means and the cause of saving “democracy” is righteous enough, anything can be excused.
In 2021, President Biden tasked Kamala Harris with leading the Biden administration’s border effort. The media in 2021 was filled with references to the Vice President as the “Border Czar.” This term fell into disfavor as a moniker Harris wanted to embrace as the border became little more than a turnstile for those entering our country on false pretenses and illegally.
Harris’ failure to actually visit the border while the crisis was unfolding even drew ire from regularly friendly media outlets for a short time.
Now, the same media which so proudly proclaimed Harris as the “Border Czar” before the total and utter failure of the Biden policies are erasing that term as being conservative misinformation.
Axios, a left-wing news outlet, now has the audacity to deny the use of the description of Kamala Harris as the ‘border czar’ under the guise that she ‘never actually had’ the title. Even though Axios was forced to admit that they wrote in April 2021, “The number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border has reached crisis levels. Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the "root causes" that drive migration.
A March 24, 2021 article by Stef Kight, the same reporter who now seeks to wipe the border stain from Kamala Harris’ resume, is headlined in giant, unambiguous bold letters, “Biden puts Harris in charge of border crisis.”
Now, with more than ten million illegals released into America due to Biden/Harris policies, the establishment media is returning to its Pravda-like role after a month of engaging in some level of journalism during the Biden take-down.
Expect other Harris failings to be similarly worm-holed as the Vice President’s career gets reimagined to the American public in the months ahead.
After all, truth is fungible to those who embrace the Marxist concept of the end justifying the means.
German philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote the following about Nazism in Germany, “This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.”
She concluded from her observation that the purpose of disconnecting or unburdening the people from the truth is that such people, “deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it completely subject to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
While Kamala Harris often speaks in word salads, when you actually look at what she is saying, it is less a salad and more a poison disguised as gibberish.
