“This Nation Belongs to You,”—Not the Deep State, Trump’s Censored Address

Sep 20, 2023 | Constitution

By Harold Pease, Ph. D.

The biggest tragedy of the last three years is the censorship of truth advanced by the Deep State as they seek to bring us into total subjugation. When censorship and propaganda are the dominant tools used to keep us ignorant, I recoil and am drawn to cover that which is true but censored. Such is, “This Nation Belongs to You,” I added, “Not the Deep State.” This is Trump’s mostly censored address given in South Dakota, September 9, 2023. Parts of it follow:

“Like those patriots before us—we will not bend—we will not break—we will not yield—we will never give in—we will never give up and we will never ever back down.” FOX news alone, as far as we can discern, covered probably the most important message of the 2024 campaign as Donald Trump clearly took on, not just Joe Biden and Democrats, but the Deep State.

“Now we are a nation in decline… We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 50 years, where banks are collapsing and interest rates are through the roof. Likewise, we are a nation where energy costs have reached the highest in our history, where we are no longer energy independent or energy dominant as we were just a short number of years ago. We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and others for oil; please, please please help us….Yet we have more liquid gold right under our feet than any other country in the world.…

“We are a nation that is consumed by the radical left Green New Deal. Yet everyone knows that the Green New Deal is fake and will lead to our country’s destruction. We are a nation whose leaders are demanding all electric cars despite the fact that they can’t go far, cost too much, and whose batteries are produced in China with materials only available in China when an unlimited amount of gasoline is available inexpensively in the United States…. And now we are a nation that wants to make our great army tanks all electric… despite the fact that they will not be able to go very far either.… We are a nation who wants to mark our jet fighters with a green energy stamp losing 15% efficiency but allowing us to keep our enemies atmosphere clean of pollutants while we attempt to knock out their planes all over the skies. We are a nation that ended oil exploration and production in the US just as the price of oil reached an all time high. What other country would do such a thing as this?”

Trump continues, “We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, leaving behind dead soldiers, American citizens and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment in the world. And we are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine, killing hundreds of thousands of people and it will only get worse. It would never have happened with me as your president. And for four straight years it didn’t happen….

“We are a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never seen before. We’ve got a Federal Bureau of Investigation that won’t allow bad election changing facts to be presented to the public…. Where Hunter Biden’s laptop from Hell was Russian disinformation and the FBI knew it wasn’t, but 51 intelligence agents said it was, and they knew it wasn’t …. [We are a nation with] “a Department of Justice that refuses to investigate egregious acts of voting irregularities and fraud….”

Trump has more. “We’re a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. Fake news is all you get. And they are the enemy of the people. They refuse to discuss the Biden crime family but enjoy covering false indictments of Donald Trump, who has done nothing wrong. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed and where crime is rampant and out of control like never before…. And we are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom and faith.

“We are a nation whose economy is collapsing into a cesspool of ruin. Whose supply chain is horrible, horrib[ly] broken and whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming and whose educational system is ranked at the bottom of every single list.

“We will demolish the Deep State,” Trump told the thousands gathered to hear him Sept. 9, 2023 in South Dakota. The Deep State, previously known as the the shadow government, secret combination, or other nebulous names always included the Wall Street financial elite. They first had influence in the William McKinley administration in the Spanish American War. Since then it organized as the Council of Foreign Relations in 1921 and has been the dominating influence in both major political parties ever since. Until Trump it was believed, by those in the know, that one could not be president without their approval–they dominated both. Trump is the only U.S. president to oppose them, get elected, and live to serve a full term. They will do ANYTHING to destroy him. It is impossible to understand why he has always been attacked by both political parties without knowing something of this secret government influence.

“We’re a nation where large packs of sadistic criminals and thieves are allowed to go into stores and openly rob, beat up and kill their workers and customers and leave with arm loads of foods but with no retribution…. We are a nation where fentanyl and all other forms of illegal drugs are easier to get than formula for our beautiful little babies. A nation whose once revered airports are a dirty crowded mess. You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, and they have no idea when they will, where their ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes….

“We are a nation that has lost it’s confidence. Lost its willpower and it’s lost its strength. We’re a nation that has quite simply lost its way….

Nevertheless, with all the damage done to us, Trump concludes, “We are going to finish what we so brilliantly started. With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State. We will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media and we will drain the swamp once and for all.

“Like those patriots before us, we will not bend, we will not break. We will not yield, we will never give in. We will never give up and we will never ever back down. Together we will complete the mission. We will cross the finish line… take back this country with a righteous and magnificent victory on election day, 2024. The great silent majority is rising like never before and under our leadership the forgotten men and women will be forgotten no longer. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you. Thank you South Dakota. God bless you. God bless you all.”
