By the time most people saw the story it had already been debunked.  When was the last time you saw the Secret Service release a statement about anything?  You’ve got the limo driver and the agent and they’re offering to testify under oath?  This is the Anita Hill tactic, but it’s not first person, she heard it from a friend.  Maybe that’s why hearsay isn’t allowed in a real court of law.  But this is not a court of law.   You have to wonder what fantastic stories we’ll be treated to as the Fall draws closer.  No doubt the story has plenty of drama, even violence.  As you try to envision it in your mind, it’s a little difficult.  Then you realize it’s not true.  Classic.  But unlike Russian collusion or treason in a phone call, this one’s crashed on takeoff, but the mainstream hasn’t noticed.

The gal none of us had ever heard of is having her 15 minutes of fame, longer if the mainstream media has anything to say.  If any of this were true she’d make a living on appearances and a book deal.  This is going to be in the history books despite it’s farcical nature.  She’ll either be a star or she’ll be thrown under the bus.

What’s up with Liz Cheney giving her comments from the Reagan library? (Mark Levine says Trump haters occupy top positions on the Reagan library board) It’s an indisputable fact that Ronald Reagan turned this country around, after interminable humiliation from some Iranian whack jobs.  Gas stations had lines around the block.  There was rationing.  Some are not old enough to remember, but it was depressing to say the least.  America was perceived to be weak, and constantly humiliated around the world.  Hardly any business was being done.  That’s what happens when interest rates go ballistic.  Ronald Reagan brought in an era of patriotism and strength.  He turned the country around.   For his name to be associated with this travesty of nonsense is shameful.

Since when is an administration bent on punishing its own citizenry?  The border news is so bad we don’t want to hear it.  Inflation is hurting everyone, especially those trying to make a living.  But none of that is as important as the “insurrection” and how close we came to “losing our democracy,” to coin a phrase.

Not only is Donald Trump guilty, having “lost his mind,” grabbing for the wheel of his limo and trying to choke a secret service officer, he’s guilty of being insane and trying to overthrow the country.  Just so that those who love and support him know what they’ve teamed up with.  If he’s guilty of “insurrection” and all the rest, what does that make his supporters?

We’ve been lied to straight faced by these committees, the networks, the newspapers and realized they’re no good at eating crow.  Instead of admitting what fools they’ve made of themselves with their sober proclamations and righteous predictions, they’re doubling down.  The hatred for Trump and his supporters runs deep.  You can’t believe in the Constitution and support Trump?  Liz Cheney, with that familiar look on her face, has decreed it.  Now we’ve heard everything.  That’s about as desperate as it gets.  It didn’t matter that the story was debunked as soon as it was told.  Nevertheless, the committee was deeply distressed.

Do they not realize that the same players put the people of this country through years of this nonsense under the guise of Russian Collusion and the fake impeachment.  Have we not seen all this before?  They’ve decided the people of this country are gullible.  If big names say something, repeated by the newspapers, the websites and the six o’clock news, it must be true.  A glance at the mainstream media revealed bombshell headlines.  You have to read nearly the whole article to find out that the actual first-hand witnesses say nothing of the sort ever happened.  These sober hearings weren’t designed to glean truth.  They were designed to be the last nail in the Trump coffin.

If the United States hasn’t been drawn into a proxy war in Ukraine, you’d never know it.  The public pronouncements have become provocative, weapons and the money more so!  So, who’s at war and why?  None of our business. Leave that to the experts.  Don’t think or say anything negative or some agency might send a swat team.  Some White House spokesman has proclaimed our several predicaments less important that the future of the “liberal world order.”  The what?  “This is about the future of the liberal world order, and we have to stand firm.”  Apparently everything’s already been fixed.  Don’t you love when they tell you what it’s “about?”  They’re committed and can’t go back now.  It’s double down time, and it looks like the American citizen is hostage to the liberal world order, whatever that is.

Eventually these buffoons find out what pipsqueaks they are.  But until then…

The post Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – 1 July 2022 first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House after returning to Washington from a weekend that included a visit to the site of last week’s mass shooting in Texas, Biden recounted a visit to a trauma hospital in New York, where he said doctors had showed him X-rays of gunshot wounds caused by various firearms.

“They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life,” Biden said. “A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.

“So the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection, hunting,” the president went on.

Later in his remarks, Biden appeared to rule out the possibility of taking major executive action on guns, saying: “I can’t dictate this stuff. I can do the things I’ve done and any executive action I can take, I’ll continue to take. But I can’t outlaw a weapon. I can’t, you know, change the background checks. I can’t do that.”

Biden’s statements about 9mm pistols are in keeping with his rhetoric before entering the White House. At a 2019 fundraiser in Seattle, for example, then-candidate Biden asked his audience: “Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds?”

According to Shooting Industry magazine, 9mm pistols accounted for 56.8% of all handguns made in the US during 2019. In all, more than 15.1 million 9mm guns were produced in this country during the 2010s. The possibility of outlawing or otherwise regulating such weapons is likely to be a non-starter among conservatives and gun rights advocates.

“Remember, the Constitution, the Second Amendment, was never absolute,” Biden said. “You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons.”

Biden has made that claim before, most recently when he announced new regulations to stop the spread of so-called “ghost guns,” and they have been repeatedly declared false by fact-checkers.

“The Second Amendment did not place limits on individual ownership of cannons,” PolitiFact stated in April when it rated his claim false.

The website pointed out the text of the Constitution: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”​

Despite widespread public outrage over Tuesday’s massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and the racially motivated May 14 mass shooting at a Buffalo grocery store, Biden said he had not yet spoken with any Republicans about potential gun control legislation, but expressed hope for a compromise.

“I think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it,” he said. “At least, that’s my hope and prayer.”

Asked whether Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) authorizing Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) to work with Democrats could lead to results, Biden said, “I don’t know.”

“I think Senator McConnell is a rational Republican. I think Cornyn is as well,” he added. “I think there’s a recognition in their part that they — we can’t continue like this. We can’t do this.”

Without Republican support, Democrats are powerless to pass any gun legislation in the 50-50 Senate unless they manage to temporarily set aside the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold for passing most bills.

Biden’s comments came less than 48 hours after Vice President Kamala Harris called for an assault weapons ban after attending a funeral for Buffalo shooting victim Ruth Whitfield, 86.

“You know what an assault weapon is? You know how an assault weapon was designed?” Harris said Saturday. “It was designed for a specific purpose — to kill a lot of human beings quickly. An assault weapon is a weapon of war with no place, no place in a civil society.”

The post Biden goes on anti-gun tirade, suggests there’s ‘no rational basis’ for 9mm pistols first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

There has to be an explanation for the attack on the very core of what made America a great country.  A possible answer is, they’re just trying to tick us off.  The speeches, the decisions, the whimsical  creation of a truth governance.  The appointment of a truly comical figure, one who has humiliated herself publicly on many an occasion, and been flat wrong in public pronouncements.  But then again, she says what her employers want us to hear.

We can only assume the ludicrous move was an attempt to calm the hurt feelings of those who have seen themselves losing control.  If twitter won’t brand, ban, and de-platform the purveyors of “misinformation,” at least the state is moving in to fill the void.  That ought to fix the ultra-whack jobs who think free speech should be allowed.  The Constitution itself has become the enemy, and all attempts to align with it must be stopped!

It’s an obvious response to the purchase of twitter, and the bitter tears.  A stranger female couldn’t have been chosen to head up the new bureau .  We know it, and they know we know it.  That’s why the obvious conclusion is that they’re just trying to irritate us.  We’ve been irritable about the obvious corruption too many times.  This time we have to recognize it for what it is, an obvious ploy that has no chance of passing Constitutional muster.  The great villains of history have all employed such an agency, and this one will be ridiculed, lampooned and ignored.

Everything is settled science, and we’ll either acknowledge that 2+2 equals five, or suffer the wrath of agencies corrupted to protect the establishment.  They know global warming doesn’t hold water.  That’s why they won’t discuss it further.  Especially after the main “scientists” got caught making up the “proof.”  If you’re a “denier,” you can’t be a serious individual.  Who comes up with these monikers?  It wouldn’t matter, except the media repeats terms that are meant to demean.  They’ve stopped trying to prove their point.

The life-blood of the economy is oil.  It’s in almost everything, to one degree or another.  So that’s been made the enemy.  It’s destroying the planet!  They’ve got to stamp out oil production to save the planet.  It defies imagination.  Words that can’t be said unfortunately come to mind.

The same thing happened with religion a long time ago.  A party line has been established, and any variance with it will result in instant dismissal.  It’s such a joke.  Empty churches are thriving because they’re getting paid to settle migrants.  They make them disappear, and get paid.   Watching, as I did years ago, one of the famous TV preachers trying to explain the doctrine of the trinity, he fell all over himself.  Finally, in exasperation he said, “It’s a sign of your faith that you believe it even though you can’t understand it.”  Oh, that’s great.  In the statement was the “doctrine” that you can’t be a Christian if you refuse to sign on to the un-explainable belief.  There you have it.  Either sign on,  or you can’t be in good standing with the rest of the believers.  They can’t explain it either, but they’re all about getting rid of you if you won’t “confess” like they’ve all done.  It seemed a small price for admission into the “Christian” fraternity.

Garner Ted Armstrong said that God is logical.  Everything makes sense.  The complexities of nature strain our ability to understand, but everything makes perfect sense.  He controls our environment, regardless of the ignorant rantings of those paid to be lunatics.  If some outfit claims they stand for diversity, inclusion, and are busily saving the planet, it’s time to cut bait.

Monday, May 1 came the revelation that the Supreme Court is about to reverse the federal abortion law.  The one that found a Constitutional “right” for abortion at any stage.  It’s been almost fifty years, and finally a case has been considered.  It’s been opined that the release of this “draft” decision of the Supreme court was leaked in order to blunt the effect, and throw shade on the release of the movie 2000 Mules.  The chief Justice confirmed that the draft is legitimate.  Stand by for the rage of the main characters.  “Pocahontas” nearly burst a blood vessel, she was so mad.  Somewhere along the line the word “doxxing” got invented.  It took place long before the internet, but we’re being told to treat it like it’s a new invention.  Now they’ve published the physical addresses of the Supreme Court justices.  Surely they’ve got protection, but can you imagine the scene?

Apparently this is the hill the idiots have chosen to die on.  The trinity of politics is seen as under assault.  “How dare they!” Kamala demands.  The pretend administration is going to do everything within its power to see that this precious “right,” sloppily asserted amid the feminist wave of the ‘70’s, is upheld if they have to pass a law!  That would do it.  Pass a law, that will then be challenged all the way to the same court.  Now that will have to be carefully written.

It’s a doctrine that justifies the “re-imagining” of the Supreme Court, or at least it’s packing with like-minded nitwits, like the one just appointed to head the truth commission.  Howling at the sky is also a perfectly reasonable option, preferably on the front lawn of a Supreme Court justice.  You can’t underestimate the dignity of the people on the ground.  Incredibly, the red-headed spokes-lady is justifying the “protests” before they happen.  You might say she’s calling for them.  “As you know, the United States has a long history of protests, and we certainly encourage people to keep it peaceful…” So a mob shows up in front of your house, bullhorns blaring, chanting like a bunch of magpies. I think they just proved the opening point.  They’re just trying to tick us off.  Not that some can’t be paid to make a nuisance of themselves.  When someone calls the police, is that what they’re going to be told, “There’s a proud tradition of protest?”

Somehow the whole concept has been corrupted.  What was intended as a conversation with your representative has turned into mob intimidation.  The red head is all for it.  That means whoever is authoring the teleprompter is all for it.  You’d think the sky was falling when the states will call their own shots.  Can you believe the list of major corporations lining up to pay for travel expenses?  It seems like all the big names are hurrying to let us know they too are on board with whatever drives you to distraction.  Make them go broke.  They worship money.  Maybe they’ll change their tune when they realize the majority is not moved by all their self-righteousness.

The limits are being tested, and some of us have reached ours long since.  How much will the public stand for?  It seems most big concerns that advertise on television, including some very unlikely ones, are pushing former societal boundaries.  Lately we’ve seen our faces rubbed in every controversial subject, as if it’s “settled science.”  Are we going to continue using their services, buying their products, keeping these companies on top despite the fact that they make fun of everything we stand for?  “Oh that’s just politics.”  Not any more it’s not.

A strategy is in motion, and most (unless the media are lying) are buying, hook line and sinker.  Crisis is the method being used to bring about world government.  People are being frightened into mindless obedience, and feeling superior for their trouble.  The video from Melbourne during the pandemic was something to see.  Who could have imagined the lockdown being enforced brutally in a free country?  If the clashes were shot in black and white, you’d think it came from the heart of Europe in the 1930’s.  But it’s current, and a permanent blight.

Japan’s economic crisis is starting to show itself.  The one asset they own is U. S. Treasury securities.  Who’s going to bail them out?  Problem is, the Fed has been buying our own Treasury Securities.  So…

Is the land full of bloody crimes?  For some reason it’s not nice to hold criminals in jail.  What are you? Heartless?  Better that they’re on the street, committing more crimes.  That’s what is happening in Los Angeles and New York among other big cities.  But never mind the big cities, the philosophy driving much of the crime is being preached nationwide around the clock.  The networks are on it.

It’s interesting watching the testimony of the head of Homeland Security.  They should have multiple angles on the border on a big screen during the session.  We’re having to watch it.  Don’t worry, everything is under control.  They’ve figured out a way to process the flood heading our way, due to increased efficiency.  But the national scuttlebutt is that he doesn’t like the situation.  Wait ‘till the Easter Bunny finds out!

Poor Mr. Biden.  They’re treating him like an Alzheimer’s patient in public.  We’re exposed to brief snippets of confusion, then they assure us everything is fine.  It’s getting worse.  He’s going to outlaw incandescent light bulbs, again?  Better stock up.  With any luck, it will be overturned again.  Saving the planet much?  His entourage is all up in arms about the purchase of twitter by Elon Musk.  One minute you’re the darling of the left, saving the planet, taking humans to Mars, and the next is that he plans to allow freedom of speech on twitter!  The long knives are out, and apparently legislation will have to be passed, or a minister of dis-information appointed.  Otherwise, who knows what kind of hate speech will offend the weirdos.

Will it ever be our turn to be offended?  The blue (or is it green) haired nose-rings make the most outrageous accusations against anyone who would dare to quote God’s Word.  The New York Times published a shameful op-ed accusing God of being racist, violent, and anti-gay.  You won’t find it quoted here.  We don’t reprint blasphemy, and this dude better keep his eye on the sky, not that it will help.  But it seems that people who follow God just have to take it on the chin while “society” is busy being righteous.   Modern views are skewed beyond recognition.  How far we’ve come!

It’s being argued that Elon Musk has no idea what he’s in for.  Does he understand the vehemence that will be aimed at him?  There is a meltdown underway.  The analysts simply can’t imagine an environment where they can’t ban and de-platform anyone not singing from the approved hymnal.  It’s an outrage.  We can only hope.  It’s going to be difficult for Elon to decide what to allow, because you know the limits will be tested by saboteurs right off the bat.  Then the media with hair on fire will declare that freedom just can’t be allowed.  It’s too dangerous to the feelings of those who are staunchly bought in to things that just aren’t true.  Like gender is a state of mind.  Or the “planet” needs people to save us from global warming.  They’ve decided to force the issue.

Right away the response was to appoint a truth czar.  Surely it won’t pass Constitutional muster, but legal matters take time.  People will be tagged by the new truth ministry.  They’ve appointed some  woman who’s on the record being wrong on important issues.  Should be fun.  But that’s only the first salvo.  The enlightened crowd is going to control what everybody thinks and says or know the reason why.  With any luck, they’ll find out the reason why.

A famous quote from Ronald Reagan was something to the effect that it wasn’t that the opposition didn’t know much, it was just that they knew so much that wasn’t true.  Do they ever!  What if he could see what we’re seeing.  He’d shake his head in disgust.  I’d hate to think what my Dad would say if he saw what we’re up against.  Watching the news is like taking a beating.

Will CNN change its tune? There’s quite an interesting dynamic playing out at the Atlanta network, and you probably know the details. The fact that there is so much money for them to grapple over is a scandal in itself. It might be entertaining to watch two Trump haters trying to ruin each other. But with the kind of money that is at stake, they’ll survive. Makes you wonder who the advertisers are, if only we were willing to watch long enough to find out.

But that is the crux of the problem with China. You’re no doubt aware of the fact of the diplomatic boycott of the Olympics. Putin and Xi are already there, but no American government officials on account of “human rights abuses.” We occasionally hear about the Muslim Uyghur population, re-educated at a bare minimum, in camps constructed for that purpose. Chairman Xi fixed that for you. Apparently an Uyghur helped light the Olympic torch. The immediate question is, what would have happened if he’d refused? Athletes who chose to compete have had warnings about saying anything that might be construed as critical of the Chinese. Even the old bat has issued a statement.

Back to the point, apparently the corporations see their growth potential as being in China. If something’s not good for America, too bad. The almighty dollar is the top priority. You’ll notice there hasn’t been a lot of talk about the debt, but the cabal in charge has been running it up through the roof. It’s enough to make you feel, and act, hopeless about the future. On top of the debt, the occupant’s scriptwriter is subtly doing everything imaginable to hobble Americans because of the environment, social justice or whatever.

There are some things the government can’t do to us on account of the Constitution and the Bill or Rights. But the corporations are doing whatever the government recommends. They’re doing it to their employees, they’re making demands of their clients. Two years after the fact, the CDC has finally admitted that natural immunity is at least as good as the vaccine. But don’t worry, the places that are staying open will still demand your papers.

Some of the arguments being made are downright comical. Shaq says the mandates and lockdown orders are the dumbest thing he’s ever heard of. Uh-oh. The interview with CBS, which incidentally enforces the vaccine on employees, did not go well. There are respected studies showing that the lock-downs did more harm than good. If you’re not seeing that on the mainstream news, it’s because they pushed, shamed the non-complaint and brought in lackeys to call the non-compliant guilty of “not caring.” And potentially manslaughter if not murder. No wonder we can’t watch.

It’s beginning to look like every household name we know and love has cast it’s lot with China. It’s a financial decision and one that doesn’t bode well for the future of the U. S. The vast upwardly mobile market just represents unlimited riches. Why should they worry about America when they can dominate one sector or another in China? There is evidence, documentation and e-mails suggesting that the occupant has taken advantage of, shall we say, financial help from his son who is on corporate boards operated by the Chinese government. Ever heard of Peter Schweitzer? We’re all but scared to read his book. The mainstream and the occupant himself says it’s a smear job. Russian disinformation.

We’ve been through infuriating cycles before, but nothing quite rose to the current level. It would be easy to be hopeless and beaten, but maybe we’re not beaten. There may be a lot of rabble-rousers who demand that “society” make them rich, while they rage about racism. The most daring are smashing jewelry cases at retail stores. Who’s betting that every one of them is out on bail. We may never know. Unless…

Unless some of the lies get jammed down the mainstream media’s throat. It’s not nice to lie to everyone, particularly if you present yourself as America’s Most Trusted Name in News, or whatever.

Ukraine is still hanging fire. Troops are being publicly put on high alert in nearby NATO countries. Germany has bowed out. The pipeline, you know. Everybody saw this coming, we just didn’t expect it to happen so fast. A quick look at the “diplomats” who have our future all figured out says it all. At their recent planning session in Davos, they admitted to respecting and trusting each other even though nobody else does. Now that the public everywhere in the Western world has shown a willingness to comply with each and every mandate, logical or otherwise, they’ve got big plans for us.

What’s going on in Israel? The people have complied. The population is double and triple-vaxed at the highest rate on record, and having the greatest Corona virus crisis on earth. Maybe it’s good that Netanyahu is out of office, for now. He is being pursued by prosecutors for crimes aplenty, and has been mighty quiet, unlike somebody we know. But the analogy is eerily accurate.

Trouble is brewing among the Arab nations, some of which have made buddies with Israel and others that are standing by their historical posture. The war in Yemen continues, but somebody’s hitting the UAE with drone-launched explosives, and they think it’s in support of the Houthis that are fighting in Yemen. It’ll never end. Not in this era.

Who could have expected the Canadian truckers to shut down the Capitol in Ottawa over health rules and mandates. They have my respect, even though the Prime Minster so often photographed in blackface, has called them racist and evil. What a dork.

A couple of things you’ll remember my Dad saying from time to time. One is that Israel will tear itself apart internally in the absence of an outside enemy. He also said that end-time events would be brought about by a worldwide financial collapse. There’s astonishingly good news on the other side. If the media displayed some honesty there might be good news on this side. We can take comfort in the knowledge of how it ends. God will only put up with the success of evil for so long. We’re more fragile.

Everything has accelerated to the point you can hardly keep up, assuming you want to.  Rules, mandates, requirements. It’s looking like travel will never be the same, unless in the confines of your own car, and there are  plans for that too.  If someone was holding out hope to visit Australia, they can forget it unless prepared to be submissive and patient.  If something isn’t just so, you can look forward to detention while being guarded against, escape?  They make sure that’s impossible, especially for an innocent traveler.  Ever been deported?  You’d hate to make that flight twice, back to back.

Two professions that had great respect, almost reverence, were science and medicine.  Doctors still have take the Hippocratic oath and swear to do no harm.  Science is the ongoing challenge to facts that have been known and believed traditionally.  It aims to not only verify what we already know to be fact and who knows, maybe discover something not previously known and receive recognition.   Can you imagine a scientist who doesn’t believe in global warming?  That would be career suicide.  Everybody’s playing along to get by.  Nobody dares call it what it is.

You see what’s going on on the Internet.  Any article on Djokovic, or the dreaded virus, January 6^th, or perish the thought, election irregularities, assuming comments are allowed, is going to be swarmed with unhinged idiots calling names and using language.  They’ve gone crazy at the very thought of anyone believing anything but the mainstream take.  It’s enough to ruin any intelligent exchange that might have ensued.  But they’re not prepared to argue anymore.  It’s been repeated enough times that (coronavirus pronouncements, global warming, saving the planet, racial hatred) those beliefs have become facts that nobody dares dispute.  Nobody except some dangerous conspiracy theorist.  Who wants that moniker?

The lengths to which the mainstream networks, newspapers and yes, local radio wire readers have gone to avoid anything that goes against the narrative is astonishing.  We remember when publications were proud of their “scoops.”  There’s no such thing anymore unless you venture to the “fringe.”  There better not be any revelations that dispute the overriding narrative.  There are a precious few exceptions, and most of them are not in a position where they can be fired.  There are other ways of dealing with the masses.  Social media networks will just cancel whatever or whoever disagrees with their “fact-checkers.”  They’ll disappear you without a second thought.  Followers?  Not anymore.  Freedom of speech?  “They” control the platform.

Since when were we “afraid” of false information?   When did it become so “dangerous?”  There’s never been a shortage.  Just like everything else that’s wrong in the world, we just tuned it out.  We refused to be ruffled.  Huge legal disputes were decided forty years ago that legalized pretty much everything on the basis of a free society where the individual was free to decide what was right, or moral or true.  Maybe that wasn’t the best idea from the standpoint that a lot of evil was allowed to spill out into the public.  Nevertheless, the courts erred on the side of freedom under the Constitution, and nuts to the consequences.

How times have changed!  Suddenly, even a personal rendition of any negative experience with the mandated potions is dangerous and must be silenced.  The “legitimate” sources of information have turned their heads another direction.  As far as they’re concerned nothing bad has ever happened  to anyone who’s followed orders.  They never heard of it.  It’s like the testimony before Congress.  Nobody knows what anybody is talking about.  The wave-lengths are not compatible.  Documents?  The news will not acknowledge their existence.

There aren’t any, according to previously ignored agencies that used to put out a study now and again.  Suddenly they’re telling everyone what to do, what to believe, instituting requirements that are a violation of our personal sovereignty.  When you’ve been deceived and intentionally so, chances are you don’t return for advice.  Especially when you’re in the habit of making your own personal decisions.  The agencies are proceeding at warp speed to put an end to that.

As far as the mainstream is concerned, they’ll be no more personal decisions.  You’ll do what your told without hesitation or, they won’t let you in, they’ll see to it that you’re fired, they’ll quarantine you and exact penalties for infractions.  Authoritarianism is on a roll.  Regardless of whatever information about the latest “variant,” the “authorities” are hard at work, keeping everybody “safe.”  The narrative has been repeated enough times, we must all believe it.

But we don’t.  We’re too polite to bash idols.  But the mainstream hasn’t earned much credibility, not for a long time.  They’ve pretended to believe the most idiotic accusations.  They pretend to believe the garbage they spout even after it’s been picked apart, disproven, sometimes defeated in court.  But the smirks just keep on coming without any shame for the nonsense they’ve pushed and pounded.

It’s a bleak future for the earth if the banks and corporations require proof of compliance with whatever flavor they’ve invented.  It will be supposedly rescued from the selfish who thought freedom (within the boundaries of righteous law) was guaranteed.  Not so fast!  Freedom has been stamped out in Canada, Australia, several European nations, and would be extinct in the United States if not for a few honest judges.  It looks like the mandates, the firings, the cancellations will ultimately be reviewed by the Supreme Court.  Not that mistakes haven’t been made in the past, but there is some hope for this promised land yet.  If they let the United States down, we’ll go the way of the world.  Let’s hope God isn’t ready to abandon us just yet.  Calling those idols what they are might help.

Mark

P.S.  The latest I’ve heard on Mr. Robert Nunnery’s situation. It looks like he’s taken a turn for the better and will be receiving treatment that doesn’t include the ICU.  We hope to hear he is home and back to normal strength.

Update on Australia deporting #1 tennis player and defending champion Novak Djokovic: He spent the week in limbo after winning a legal hearing.  But Australia’s Health Minister has decided that for the sake of Australians who have sacrificed mightily during the “pandemic,” Djokovic must be deported for the public good.  He didn’t follow the rules sufficiently, consequently…

“I had COVID-19 in May. My doctor tells me I’m better protected than any vaccine. What law gives this president the authority to tell my employer (an airline) to fire me next month if I don’t get vaccinated?” That question was posed this weekend while we waited for a delayed flight.

There is no law. President Joe Biden’s mendacious mandate is merely an unprecedented executive power grab. This is the kind of government coercion and socialist tyranny we explain in our book, “We Didn’t Fight for Socialism: America’s Veterans Speak Up.”

In it, we warn how government control over the lives of citizens is the ultimate goal of socialist regimes. The freedoms in our Bill of Rights and the individual liberty that is the cornerstone of our Constitution are anathema to socialists. Freedom and liberty are the antithesis of government coercion and control. When the elected officials and bureaucrats who run the government work for the people, socialist tyranny is impossible.

We also describe how socialists use “emergency situations” to take control over the lives of citizens. In 2008, President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that is (it’s) an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” His use of the word “you” was wrong. He meant “we.”

Apparently, then-Vice President Biden understood. He and the leftist ideologues now pulling his strings took Emanuel’s advice. COVID-19 gave them the “serious crisis” they craved.

Once government gains control over any aspect of individual citizens’ lives, it does not easily surrender such power. Victor Davis Hanson of the Hoover Institution, in an interview with Dinesh D’Souza on Oct. 17, stated the left has “declared war” on the very idea of citizenship.

According to our Constitution, elected officials serve at the pleasure of our citizens. But to Biden and his “progressive” minions, individual citizens are but mindless chess pieces to be manipulated by government.

Emanuel admitted a crisis allows government to do things it otherwise could not do. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a president might well have been impeached for insisting employers fire pilots, flight attendants, police officers, firemen, truck drivers and heroic first responders, et al, for “violating” an unconstitutional mandate.

But, like all his socialist predecessors, Biden unleashed a powerful propaganda campaign to deceive, distort, divide and destroy opponents with fear. His pliant allies in the so-called mainstream media aided this strategy. That’s why he used an executive order instead of congressional legislation to impose his “fire them” rule.

Sadly, it’s not over yet. Our book also warns about the terrible history of socialist tyrants’ unrelenting pursuit of government control even when results are disastrous. This is most likely the case with Biden’s vaccine mandate. Today, businesses are shutting down because they cannot attract or keep a sufficient number of employees while Biden’s mandate is wreaking havoc on our already faltering economy by causing irreplaceable personnel to quit or be fired.

This is unconscionable. Americans cannot be fired for their religion, skin color, age, medical condition or sexual orientation, but Biden orders them fired for refusing the so-called COVID inoculation. This is socialist tyranny.

The warns that the country is rapidly “moving into a coup situation, a police state” under the “guise of a real medical pandemic.”

“We know from history no one gives up emergency powers.”

“That is not a partisan thing,” Wolf told Carlson. “That transcends everything that you and I might disagree or agree on. That should bring together left and right to protect our Constitution.”

“The state has now crushed businesses, kept us from gathering in free assembly to worship as the First Amendment provides, is invading our bodies … which is a violation of the Fourth Amendment, restricting movement, fining us in New York state … the violations go on and on,” she said.

She warned that there are 10 things “would-be tyrants always take when they want to close down a democracy.”

“Whether they are on the left or the right, they do these same ten things,” Wolf explained, “and now we’re at something I never thought I would see in my lifetime … it is step 10 and that is the suspension of the rule of law and that is when you start to be a police state, and we’re here. There is no way around it.”

If I’d known Biden was open to ‘lockdowns’ as he now states, which is something historically unprecedented in any pandemic, and a terrifying practice, one that won’t ever end because elites love it, I would never have voted for him.
