Bill Buppert: Winter is here indeed
The full-throated roar of communist ambition is steamrolling the former United States under a virtual rain of cluster bomb munitions launched against many varieties of formerly free acts of human volition from speaking to writing to communicating to walking to dining to assembling and everything in between. In the name of safety and opposition to terrorism, the government and its vassal states are proceeding apace to un-person any human who desires to be free of the state ... I suspect the Uniparty will start at free speech and use the Bill of Rights as a mission list to extinguish all freedom in the country.
Normal American: The New Domestic Terrorists
Democrat insider and deep state creature John Podesta ... on Wednesday put out a statement calling the Capitol occupiers “violent insurrectionists,” “seditionists,” and, for variety, “domestic insurrectionists.”
This is the new Democrat line. Rep. Linda Sanchez, a California Democrat, says: “Make no mistake: those who violently assaulted the Capitol today are not protesters or Patriots. They are domestic terrorists.” Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat who bears no resemblance at all to a reptile, tested the phrase “goons and thugs and domestic terrorists.”
Within only a few hours, the “domestic terrorist” line had been echoed ... A list is being made for the purge.
Normal Americans will be tempted to point out Democrats' hypocrisy. Our self-described betters spent 2020 excusing attempts by the street commies to burn down federal courthouses and police stations. The left normalized street violence and occupying government buildings. They turned a blind eye to “autonomous zones” run by warlords. NPR served up the official propaganda with its fawning interview of the author of In Defense Of Looting. We are not allowed to remember that left-wing protesters stormed the Wisconsin State Capitol and Capitol Hill not too long ago.
Of course the left are hypocrites. But dwelling on their hypocrisy is poor preparation for the reality of Democrats taking over Washington, D.C. in two weeks ... For our anti-American elites who loathe devout Christians, gun owners, and sundry deplorables, Christmas will arrive early this year ... Our rulers do not appreciate being humiliated by a bunch of undesirables wearing MAGA hats and Viking horns. When they talk about “domestic terrorists,” they are talking about deplorables. They are planning their revenge.
Simon Black: The coming ‘woke’ American Theocracy
In a theocracy, the rules and rituals of the official state religion become pervasive in everything– politics, education, business, news, entertainment, and even your daily routine– regardless of whether or not you’re a believer… if you’re even allowed to be a non-believer.
In its own way, the United States (and much of the West) is rapidly becoming a theocracy where the woke leftist religion similarly pervades our daily lives. Any dissent is greeted with rage and cancellation ... You must use only the words that have been prescribed.
. . .
This religion is also a major influence in government now.
Elected leaders rush to show their constituents how pious and virtuous they are, whether they’re kneeling in solidarity for a photo opp, or changing their own rules to banish gender-specific language in the House of Representatives.
And we saw last year how government policy has started to become driven by the supreme religious leaders, i.e. American Ayatollahs who wield extraordinary, unelected power.
They control a perpetually outraged Twitter mob through hashtags and memes. They get to tell people whose life does and doesn’t matter… who’s an oppressor and who’s a victim. And they rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in donations with zero oversight or transparency.
It’s important to point out that this new woke fanaticism is a polytheistic religion with many gods to exalt.
James Kirkpatrick: Ruling Class Tantrum Shows Americans We Must All Hang Together
Power can only be checked by power, and because President Donald J. Trump and the Conservative Movement didn’t oppose the emerging Totalitarian Left when they had the chance, the Historic American Nation is about to suffer real tyranny under the boot of our corporate and political rulers. The good news: the Capitol Hill protest and its subsequent repression was another step in the radicalization, not of the Dissident Right, which already knows the score only too well, but of the mass of ordinary American patriots.
. . .
Still, there’s hope to be found in this situation because progressives aren’t leaving ordinary Americans any way out. There are no more “conservatives” because there’s nothing left to conserve. There are just patriots on the one hand and collaborators with an increasingly hostile and hateful regime on the other.
The “slippery slope” argument may be considered a logical fallacy, but in politics, it’s simply a factual description of the way things work. The Capitol Hill protest is simply providing the excuse for the crackdown that was already underway anyway.
. . .
American patriots are confused. They still have it in their head that the U.S. is something called a “free country” and that they have the right to speak out about what is happening. They are now being enlightened about the fact that this is no longer true.
. . .
With its absurd talk of “insurrection” and ludicrously obvious double standards, the Ruling Class has designated tens of millions of deplorables as something less than citizens, people outside respectable society ... The Left just can’t hold itself back from its eliminationist rhetoric and its borderline genocidal hatred of the Historic American Nation.
Jenin Younes - The Liberal-Left Has Gone Fully Illiberal
One of the particular features of tyrannical regimes is that most people remain unaware of their true nature until they have solidified their grip on power. It is far easier to acquire and maintain control over a population that at least initially believes the governing force is benevolent.
Pick up a history book if you believe that in the near future the pandemic will be declared over and normal life will resume. Even well-intentioned individuals have difficulty surrendering power once they have had a taste. Nothing about the actions of leaders such as Governors Cuomo, Whitmer and Newsom, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, ought to lead people to believe that life will ever be the same unless we refuse to accept this erosion of our civil rights and liberties.
Each day, I hope that my friends on the liberal-left will wake up and see what is happening before their eyes, before it is too late.
