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.

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.

As I mentioned yesterday, the current situation with the faux impeachment has historical analogies. Of particular note is the trial of King Charles I in England in the 17^th Century by radical members of Parliament. Oliver Cromwell was a prominent leader of Parliament who was directly engaged in the insurrection that defeated King Charles. And it was an insurrection.

While this is a long story involving multiple years of civil war in England, in the end the dispute was about powers that Parliament had versus the powers of the King.

When George Floyd died of a drug overdose despite the efforts of four police officers to save his life, the whole country knew who the four officers were the next day. The media created a false narrative that the officers murdered Floyd by keeping him pinned to the ground. The officers’ names were broadcast ad nauseum.

Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer on January 6^th. The circumstances of that killing are still unknown. The name of the officer has still not been released. Why?

Censorship continues to raise its ugly head across the land.

Carolyn Maloney, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, is asking the FBI to conduct a “robust examination” of the role social media site Parler played in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, specifically whether the platform was a “potential facilitator” of planning or inciting the violence.

Masks – All The Fearful Sheeple

Our pretend president has issued a flurry of executive orders that are designed to weaponize the Federal Government against the American public. Many of these are done under the disguise of protecting the public health because of COVID. Of course, more and more people are starting to recognize that COVID is no more dangerous than the flu.

Recently the CDC issued an order requiring people to wear masks “while using public transportation, which includes “awaiting, boarding, disembarking, or traveling on airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, and ride-shares as they are traveling into, within, or out of the United States and U.S. territories.” This also covers people who are at “transportation hubs (e.g., airports, bus or ferry terminals, train and subway stations, seaports).” This order went into effect February 1^st. ...
