A zealot is one who identifies intimately with his message, and opposes all efforts to reasonably falsify the message because doing so would also falsify him.
A brief compendium of current observations for the record.
Conservatives are (fascists, racists, white supremacists, … pick one or more) and work constantly to have government limit individual freedoms, diminish America’s liberties, and promote an autocratic government – so goes the progressive/Democrat/lamestream narrative. This is witnessed daily and well documented in progressive activist literature like ‘Don’t Think of an Elephant’ by George Lakoff. The latter is actually a best-selling leftist communication handbook into which is marbled the Marxist/socialist manifesto. What the leftwing elites count on is the ignorance of their audience who cannot connect the dots between an autocratic state and big government based on central planning and control. This deficiency prevents them from seeing that all conservative efforts in governance and public policy are directed in exactly the opposite direction – a minimally funded smaller government with fewer laws and regulations based on federalized maximum local control. Such governments cannot generate and maintain collectivist public policies which need a massive government to enforce and implement. Nevertheless, this Big Lie continues.
America’s Left and their Democrat Party public face are desperately attempting to pass federal voting legislation (HR1, ‘The Voting Rights Act’) that will foster and facilitate the entrenchment of a political monopoly based on Marxist/socialist ideology. The selling point, hysterically touted by Team Biden, is that America’s current election laws limit voting rights, especially those of protected classes. The evidence to oppose this attack on constitutional federalism is abundant and readily available, but totally buried by the lamestream media. Only conservative outlets inform their audiences of how the states’ voting laws compare, and about public attitudes that favor policies which restrict the voting franchise to American citizens, and minimize opportunities for election irregularities and fraud. (more here) Our Left tells Americans that such voter integrity policies are racist/fascist/etc designed to limit voting access to minorities, when nothing could be further from the truth. Nevertheless, this Big Lie continues.
Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine have fallen victim to Mammon and politics of the most reprehensible, insidious, and deadly kind. Both medicines have been widely used worldwide as a prophylaxis and treatment for a number of maladies, including Covid – extensively reported in these pages – but proscribed by our federal government and big pharma. The former to establish precedents and new avenues of government control, the latter to keep effective off-patent medicines out of reach so that high margin patented medicines remain the only alternatives to combatting the pandemic. The effectiveness of IVT and HCQ have been demonstrated in countless studies and clinical cases. It’s now so bad that Covid patients on death’s door cannot be administered either medicine by court order (more here).
The death rate of Covid ‘vaccines’ is another scandalous cover-up by our federal government. In the program to maximize vaccinations, the data on vaccine-related deaths is withheld by the CDC and the FDA. No vaccine is entirely safe, and every one has its own mortality rate due to various complex – mostly anaphylaxis – reactions to the prophylactic. According to government data, the death rate within 14 days of being vaccinated for standard flu is about 120 per 100,000, and for shingles it is about 21 per 100,000. It turns out that for Covid, the equivalent death rate within 14 days of getting jabbed is 190 per 100,000. When this rate is applied to the millions of people vaccinated, then the Covid vaccines have killed over 388,000 Americans alone. And with the incidence of breakthrough infections, the efficacy of the vaccines is yet to be determined. One thing is certain, no government agency wants to talk about this, and all continue to stonewall legitimate queries submitted to them. (more here and here)
The destruction of the FBI by the Left is almost complete – they are now being repurposed as the nation’s new Stasi. As evidence, consider that today the FBI finally acknowledged that last week’s attack on the Texas synagogue was an act of Islamist terrorism. They were the last to know what was immediately obvious to the man on the street across America when informed that one Malik Faisal Akram was the attacker who demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, another convicted and jailed Islamist killer. AG Garland did the best he could to bamboozle the American public as long as he could before national ridicule made him tell his FBI lackeys to announce that the attack was “a terrorist-related matter”. No kidding Kemosabe.
A more standard law enforcement fare for today’s FBI is launching domestic terrorism investigations of parents who go on public record to oppose local school boards about the content of the curricula – e.g. the tenets of CRT – taught to their kids. On such matters the FBI is right on the spot ferreting out those subversive parents who don’t toe the line laid down by leftwing dominated teachers unions. Gotta get those parents out of the way of our educators who are concerned first about their students right after they have their pension negotiations in the bag. Actually, there may be an issue or two, like paid days off for Covid safety, that may still consume their attention before they get to the kids.
[18jan22 update] Open and free critique of government is a fundamental principle upon which America was founded. And the continuance of that right has been the mainstay of our republic since its birth in revolution, which itself is the ultimate critique of government by its citizens. All roads to tyranny start with the state proscribing the critique of government. We in the United States have a long history of criticizing our government, its policies, and actions both domestic and foreign. Everyone has exercised that right, built into our founding documents, without second thought of suffering retribution from any institution of government. This is not to say that it hasn’t happened (e.g. the IRS going after conservative 501c3 organizations). But when such illegal retributions have been discovered – usually uncovered by an alert media – they have been roundly rejected by all Americans, resulting in public censure, ending of careers, and even legal actions against the perpetrating scoundrels. Those days are gone. Today, firmly on the doorstep of autocracy, we have the Democrats in power openly deploying federal intelligence and law enforcement organs to punish critics of its rogue and radical politicians and policies, and even those opposing state and local leftwing authorities illegally mandating laws and regulations about schools, the pandemic, academe, border porosity, elections, and corporatist enterprises that seek government favor. (more here) What portends even worse for the republic is that a large share of Americans now favor such government reprisals that formerly were the hallmarks only of communist and fascist governments, and tinpot dictators of backward (e.g. shithole) countries.
