Insurrection!

Democrat supporters “stormed” the Georgia State Capitol on Monday after legislators passed a Voter ID requirement for absentee ballots.

The usual culprits advanced the idea that requiring someone to prove who they are is somehow contrary to basic American values concerning free and fair elections. MSM reporting claimed that voter access was being “rolled back”. No one in the MSM explained how this was so. Everyone who could vote previously will still be able to vote.

The problem for the Democrats is that this makes it harder to cheat.

Neanderthal Thinking

Herd Immunity

I was alerted by a friend to an article in the Wall Street Journal by Marty Makary. Makary is a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, chief medical adviser to Sesame Care, and author of “The Price We Pay.” Dr. Makary has been heavily involved in the tracking of the COVID caseload here and around the world.

We’ll Have Herd Immunity by April

Makary points out that the number of new cases is down 77% over the last month and a half. Why? Makary notes:

More COVID Insanity

Dr. Tom Woods has been an invaluable source for all manner of things related to the COVID insanity gripping a significant portion of the public. I present below an email from a young person to Dr. Woods concerning the situation at his university.

This email details the horrific situation that this person finds himself in. It is all due to the insane restrictions that have been imposed on the population by the COVID Stasi. This extends with even greater ferocity to those imprisoned within out institutions of higher learning. As this author indicates, the COVID Stasi are aided and abetted in their grand schemes by student volunteers. These volunteers have been brainwashed into believing that they have a moral high ground. They believe they are doing a righteous thing when they snitch on their fellow students.

Something to really think about…

I found these numbers interesting.

As reported by the CDC … Here are the US deaths by year and the change from the previous year.

Year 2017: 2,818,503 Americans died

Year 2018: 2,839,205 deaths (20,702 more than the previous year 2017)

Is The End Of America Near?

I have been writing for a long time about the usurping of Americans’ constitutional rights under the guise of a pandemic. The lockdowns, and other restrictive measures (no in-person religious services, no face-to-face schooling, wearing masks, etc.) is leading America to becoming a totalitarian state. The populace is being trained to submit to any and all dictates coming from our elected politicians. This is always couched inside the rhetoric of this being for one’s own good.

Naomi Wolf is an American liberal, feminist author, journalist and former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Wolf was an advisor to Bill Clinton’s successful run for a second term in 1996 for the Presidency. Wolf has written a number of books including the bestseller The End of America released in 2007.

This week Wolf appeared, believe it or not, on Tucker Carlson’s show. As Tucker noted, he’s sure she probably lost friends just for doing that. Such is the nature of the Cancel Culture in this country.

Why did she take this step which must have been fraught with trepidation for her? Even though she is someone who might be characterized as being on the Left, Wolf sees what is going on in the country as the precursor to a full-on police state. In her mind this transcends everything liberals and conservatives might disagree on. The people must unite to fight back against this appropriation of our liberties.

Random Idiocy

There are legitimate concerns over the use of artificial intelligence. While it is a great labor saver, there are situations when its abilities are somewhat constrained.

Steve Sailer has an interesting example over at unz.com.

“We hear much about the menace posed by racist robots, but mighty Google appears to have succeeded in inventing artificial intelligence with the natural stupidity of a professor of intersectionality.

“Late last year, a YouTuber who produces popular chess videos found that his channel was blocked over charges of ‘harmful and dangerous’ content. Even though the channel was restored within 24 hours, YouTube did not explain why it had blocked Croatian chess player Antonio Radic, also known as ‘Agadmator,’ from its platform briefly, the Dailymail reported.”

Experts who viewed the comments section theorize that it was words like “white,” “black,” “attack,” and “threat” that caused Google AI filters to think that the comments were racist. A test of several hundred thousand chess comments revealed that AI software flagged an overwhelming majority (82%) of them as problematic.

Musings

Over the years and decades, we have seen many coups take place around the world. The most common thread that has run through most such events is the occupation of the capital city of that country by the military and the installation of various “protective” measures to protect the instigators. These have usually included razor wire and other impediments.

Has anyone noticed Washington DC lately? Armed troops with orders allowing deadly force patrol our nation’s capital. Razor wire fencing surrounds the seat of government. Their occupation of the city has now been extended to September. Pretty soon there will be TSA-style checkpoints in different places around the city.

This is our political elite telling us they have executed a coup against the American people.

It’s Just A Mask

This is a presentation by Mark Sargent that highlights very well so much of the nonsense going on in our country right now. It is common sense from start to finish. Unfortunately too many people remain clueless even after movements like defund the police went main stream.

Numerous studies have concluded that masks do not stop the spread of the virus. 85% of all people who contract COVID wore masks most of the time (15%) or all the time (70%). However, you do not hear this from the media. What you hear is that if you do not wear a mask, you are irresponsible, you are putting lives at risk, you are selfish.

The Reichstag Fire Of The Democrats

This seems to be my week for visiting historical parallels. Daniel Greenfield has written an article for Frontpage Mag that does an excellent job of drawing parallels between the current actions of the Democratic Party and their allies and totalitarian governments of the past. I will be drawing liberally from the article.

You can read the entire article here.

Of course, historical parallels need not be controlling of future events. But, there is danger in failing to learn from the lessons of history. It is best to be prepared. The lessons that we derive from historical events is a highly recommended first step in that preparation.

While walls, razor wire, and military encampments rise outside the halls of government, inside them the Democrats have unleashed a true coup. Protesters have “stormed” Congress before, from both the Left and the Right, which cannot be called overthrowing the government. But Democrats began their own overthrow by launching an unconstitutional post-office impeachment of President Trump for speaking at a peaceful protest and a push to remove Senate members who objected to the stolen election by abusing the 14th Amendment.

The fake emergency has been extended to March. The FBI continues falsely claiming that there is some sort of threat that requires 7,500 soldiers to conduct a military occupation of the nation’s capital. The FBI’s claims that this threat would occur during “First Amendment-protected protests” has a massive credibility problem because there have been no protests in D.C.

COVID-19 To End 1st Amendment

I would never say that COVID-19 is a hoax. There is a COVID-19 virus. Viruses have been around as long as the human race has been around, probably longer. COVID is not more dangerous than all other flu-like viruses that impact the respiratory system. Do people die who contract COVID? Yes, they do just as people do who contract the flu. However, COVID-19 is very manageable and does NOT carry a higher fatality rate.

Several common drugs (hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, to name two) are effective in managing the illness despite the so-called experts in this country railing against them last year. The mortality rates in countries that advocated their use show this to be true.

So why is COVID-19 being hyped as such a dangerous threat? The reality of the danger from COVID is far lower than the level of the hype about it.
