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)
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.
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.
Has the media entered into an echo chamber or fantasy land where what they say matters little to most Americans?
Rasmussen and others conduct regular polls on the popularity and support for POTUS. On January 5th, PDJT’s job approval rating was 47%. Then came the rally to Save America on January 6th which was followed by some Antifa types and some pro-Trump loonies invading the Capitol building.
Since then, there has been firestorm of coverage from the media denouncing the President, charging sedition, incitement to riot, an attempted coup and calling for his impeachment. The Democrats have obliged by ginning up another false impeachment proceeding. They even managed to convince a small number of Republicans to join them.
As noted yesterday, we are faced with an unprecedented assault on our liberties and freedoms. And the MSM are leading the charge. And they are not going to stop. They put words in people’s mouths to condemn them. They invent narratives to meet their needs. The current “reporting” on January 6th is a theatrical production designed to oust the President and his followers, to shame people who have done nothing wrong and to end the American republic.
Marty Owen has published a piece over at wnd.com that I will excerpt here. The basic tenet that Owen makes is that one needs to use reason and common sense when evaluating the narratives put forward by the lame-stream media.
We are faced with an unprecedented assault on our liberties and freedoms. And the MSM are leading the charge. And they are not going to stop. They can’t or won’t change. They keep throwing dishonesty and hypocrisy at us that is so blatant that it can feel like we have entered an alternate reality.
COVID hysteria is being built again by the media. And, on cue, the clueless governors are jumping on board to take away the liberties that our ancestors fought and died for.
The MSM and the Democrats need to build the hysteria as a distraction to the mountains of evidence being unearthed (literally in some cases) of voter/election fraud. I will have more on that in the coming weeks. For now, let’s just look carefully at the COVID situation.
One of the things that the Democrats have been doing to downplay the lack of enthusiasm for Joe Biden has been to demonize the Trump rallies. They have spread narratives that these rallies are super-spreader events for COVID-19. Supposedly these rallies are putting the health of Americans at great risk.
A recent analysis of publicly available health data has shown no statistically significant evidence that this is the case. State health officials responsible for maintaining such data concur that COVID-19 numbers cannot be directly tied to campaign rallies. ...
Joe Biden has retired to his basement bunker to “prep” for his upcoming debate on Thursday. Perhaps he is also consulting with his attorneys on how to address the burgeoning scandal involving him and his son Hunter.
I have watched as the media has fallen all over themselves trying desperately to cover up what appears to be the largest selling out of America by a politician in our history. They have attacked the messenger who delivered the information to the NY Post. The NY Post has been frozen out of their Twitter account for six days.
A regular exercise that Democrats engage in every four years is to claim that Republicans are going to end Medicare and/or Social Security. This was a big item during the 2000 election campaign of Bush vs Gore. The Bush campaign was talking about privatizing some aspects of Social Security. There never was any intent to end or even reduce Social Security. None of these claims of ending Social Security were true. The Democrats were just trying to scare older citizens into voting Democratic.
In every presidential election cycle since then, the Democrats have hammered at this theme even though absolutely nothing about the Republican platforms have suggested taking away or reducing Social Security and/or Medicare benefits.
