If you have been pacing the floor over the possibility that the Russkies are trying to influence your vote in the 2024 elections, you can sleep well tonight. That’s because the feds are currently prosecuting four members of the African People’s Socialist Party in a trial in federal district court in Tampa.

What is the African People’s Socialist Party? Good question! I certainly had never heard of them, and I’m willing to bet that neither have you. It turns out that they are a small, obscure group of Americans who have been advocating socialism for around 50 years. In fact, one of the four defendants is in his 80s and another is in her late 70s. I suppose I should mention that one of the defendants recently ran for city council but lost the race after receiving only 18 percent of the vote.

So, why are the feds going after these people? To keep us safe, of course! The feds are saying that the defendants are serving as a conduit for the Russian government to “influence” the 2024 election. The feds are charging the defendants with violating a U.S. law that was enacted in 1938, during the regime of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was the president who converted the federal government to a socialist welfare state and also converted our monetary system to a paper-money system without even the semblance of constitutional amendments. That 1938 FDR law requires people who are operating as agents of a foreign government to register with the federal government.
