Happy New Year, Censorship and the Pathocratic State, Lolita Island and Insurrectionaries

Happy New Year and welcome to season 6 of The Alan Sanders Show. Today opens with what I think was the biggest story of 2023 and is carrying into 2024 – the governments Censorship Industrial Complex. Michael Shellenberger just put out a piece saying we need to put a stop to the Pathocratic State. That term, pathocracy, is borrowed from the late Polish psychologist Andrew Lobacweski, who documented the prevalence of narcissists and psychopaths in leadership positions in totalitarian regimes. We then discuss the recent Epstein Island document dump where it appears former president Bill Clinton is referred to as John Doe 36 and is referenced more than 50 times. The full, unredacted list was court ordered a few weeks ago to be released in early January, perhaps even as early as this week. It will be interesting to see how many people start to hire PR firms to work on rehabilitating their image. It appears, thanks to research being done by The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project that the Biden Justice Department has been actively hindering congressional probes into a Chinese businessman associated with Hunter Biden. All of this centers around Patrick Ho and CEFC China Energy. On a related note, since Hunter Biden had to plead guilty to his tax issues, President Biden has had 9 interviews with supposed journalists. In all those times, not once was he asked about Hunter's legal issues, GOP findings or the IRS whistleblowers. Not once! This leads to a discussion over who are the real inssurectionaries? Victor Davis Hanson puts forth a reminder of many of the statements and actions of Hillary Clinton to deny the 2016 election. He makes a compelling case that if Donald Trump can be convicted of a crime he was never even charged with by making a speech, then what do we call it when someone weaponizes the whole of the Executive Branch of government to lie to the people and ask electors to ignore their own oaths? Finally, with January 6 coming up, I read a piece from Adam "Lectern Guy" Johnson. It's a wonderful bit of satire at how the Left weaponized January 6 and has turned it into near religious holiday that demands your tears and your holiday spirit.
