Over the last five years, American, British, Canadian and Brazilian governments unleashed unprecedented waves of repression against political opponents using martial law, military occupations of major cities, government censorship of the internet, nationwide manhunts, televised raids and extended detentions without trial. Most of those arrested were guilty of political speech and protests generally far less violent than leftist riots by regime supporters.
Three of those leftist governments, the Biden-Harris administration, the Starmer and Lula regimes, unleashed crackdowns after taking power using various pretexts. The fourth crackdown, in Canada under the Trudeau regime, took place during an election year.
The pretexts, J6, Brazil’s election protests or the UK’s anti-migrant rallies, are far less significant than the pattern of leftist regimes taking power and launching crackdowns against opponents who disputed elections or, in the case of the Starmer regime, protested against policies.
Governments that moan about “authoritarianism” abroad eagerly adopted every element of the authoritarian playbook from endless investigations of political opponents like Trump and Bolsonaro to declaring states of emergency over political protests and censoring speech. They often justify their authoritarian measures as necessary to stop their “authoritarian” opponents.
The leftist regimes that have taken to locking up people who merely express support online for opposition political protests are not averse to chaos, social unrest or riots. Before J6, Kamala Harris and every prominent Democrat and media outlet had endorsed BLM race riots. In the years since, leftist mobs have routinely invaded the United States Capitol, intimidated members of Congress, occupied their offices and fought Capitol Police officers in the name of every cause from banning oil to supporting Hamas with little result other than light slaps on their wrists.
In the years before Trudeau used martial law to silence truckers protesting against vaccine mandates, BLM rioters had been allowed to block streets in Canadian cities with the backing of the regime. No less a figure than Trudeau had ritually knelt to the race rioters and their cause.
Before and after the Starmer regime launched a ruthless crackdown on opponents of mass migration, Hamas supporters had rallied and rioted across London and other cities, threatening Jews and proudly flying the flags of Islamic terrorist organizations officially at war with the UK.
None of these Muslim mobs were hunted, rounded up and sentenced to years in prison.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, who had defended his officers warning Jews not to be present near Muslim terror rallies because they were “visibly Jewish”, vowed to use terrorism laws and unleash the “full force of the law at people” for protesting Muslim migrant violence.
The only ones who can’t face terrorism charges for political rallies in the UK are actual terrorists.
The law that Rowley, along with Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood of the Starmer regime, follow might best be described in the words of a former Latin American strongman, “for my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”. Starmer’s actions have shown who his friends in Hamas bandanas are and they have also shown that the law is reserved for his enemies.
In the first stage of authoritarianism, the law is applied unequally, in the second stage of authoritarianism, inequality is written into the law, and in the final stage, the regime is the law.
America, the United Kingdom and many other formerly free nations are falling under the shadow of the first stage of authoritarianism. Numerous ‘Reichstag fires’ are used to declare temporary states of emergency during which civil rights and limitations on government powers do not apply. These experiments in totalitarianism took off during the pandemic, but did not begin then.
Trump’s election victory and the success of Brexit led to the launch of censorship regimes in America and the UK. Free speech on social media virtually disappeared for ordinary people and became the province of a handful of opposition media outlets and influencers big enough to merit special exemptions from the rules inflicted on everyone else.
In America, once the home of free speech, the Biden-Harris administration and its liberal and leftist political allies have taken to arguing that the government has a ‘free speech’ right to take away the free speech of the people by telling social media monopolies to censor them.
In a 6-3 pre-election ruling, the Supreme Court allowed government agencies to resume the practice that censorship apologists have termed ‘jawboning’ of federal agencies telling social media monopolies to censor administration opponents. According to the Biden-Harrs administration, one of the “cornerstones” of its “power” is to “persuade Americans—and American companies—to act in ways that the president believes would advance the public interest.” And sometimes the public interest requires censoring politically incorrect jokes.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently admitted. A furious media lambasted the social media founder for undermining the administration’s contention to the Supreme Court that Facebook and other companies had been acting independently, rather than obeying government diktats.
CNN condemned “Mark Zuckerberg’s election-season gift to Republicans”. The issue, media outlets argued, was not speech, but, as media outlets insisted, “disinformation” or “misinformation” that threatened “public health” or “national security”.
Free speech is at least still a subject of debate in America even as it has disappeared overseas.
The UK’s Online Safety Bill, originally billed as protecting children, mandates that social media platforms censor whatever the Starmer regime and Justice Minister Mahmood may deem to be hateful or harmful content. Platforms will be required to scan even encrypted messages and use algorithms to see to it that no one sees disapproved political speech anymore.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who had no objection to Muslim mobs targeting Jews, claimed that he did “not feel safe” after opposition anti-migrant protests and demanded government censorship that would go even further in silencing critics across the internet.
In Brazil, Justice Alexandre de Moraes, a controversial figure who helped the current leftist regime seize power, banned Twitter and leveled massive fines on any Brazilians who use the service. As the New York Times described him, “Alexandre de Moraes, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, has taken up the mantle of Brazil’s lead defender of democracy. Using a broad interpretation of the court’s powers, he has pushed to investigate and prosecute, as well as to silence on social media, anyone he deems a menace to Brazil’s institutions.”
That is what democracy has begun to look like in what used to be the free world.
Elections in which the two sides are held to very different standards of speech and tactics are held under the shadow of mass media propaganda and government censorship of opponents. The final results are determined by media outlets, unelected officials and partisan judges. If public dissatisfaction with the establishment is so high that the conservatives win despite mass fraud, bloc voting and every dirty trick in the book, the left spends four years rioting in rage while its unelected officials, including judges, find every possible way to undermine the government.
If the leftists win, they promptly declare an emergency and claim that democracy is threatened by free speech, popular protest and the existence of any opposition to their unlimited power.
The only thing free about any of this is that there are still elections and people are still allowed to vote in them. But democracy, as residents of North Korea’s Democratic People’s Republic of Korea could tell you if they had any free speech, isn’t actually freedom. Bringing democracy to Iraq just turned it into a totalitarian Islamic state run by the Shiite majority. In actual free countries, people have more political freedom than just casting a ballot once every few years.
A democracy without a meaningful political opposition able to speak out, advocate for its views and protest is like a race with only one runner. It’s the end of a contest, not the beginning of one.
“I avail myself with relief of the opportunity of speaking to the people of the United States. I do not know how long such liberties will be allowed. The stations of uncensored expression are closing down; the lights are going out,” Winston Churchill had warned in a speech about Nazism in 1938. Eight years later he returned to America to deliver an even more famous speech.
“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent,” Churchill warned. “In these States, control is enforced upon the common people by various kinds of all-embracing police governments, to a degree which is overwhelming and contrary to every principle of democracy.”
Under the iron curtain, the “great principles of freedom” had been abandoned under which the people of any country have “free unfettered elections with secret ballot” and “that freedom of speech and thought should reign; that courts of justice, independent of the executive, unbiased by any party, should administer laws which have received the broad assent of large majorities.”
Churchill’s warning was ridiculed by leftists in the same timeless fashion that they do today. Labour parliamentarians introduced a censure motion against Churchill for ruining relations with the USSR while the New York Times argued that American democracy and Communism “have much to learn from each other.” The Times has certainly learned much from Communism.
“The Constitution Is Sacred. Is It Also Dangerous?” a recent New York Times column argued. It rests alongside recent Timesentries such as “The First Amendment is Out of Control” and “Elections are Bad for Democracy.” What is good for democracy? Tyranny and lots of it.
That iron curtain no longer hangs only over Russia and China, but over Churchill’s England, and the places in America where he once spoke, along with the rest of the world.
“Alexander the Great remarked that the people of Asia were slaves because they had not learned to pronounce the word ‘No,’” Churchill reminded Americans.
“No” has become a forbidden word to the people of the formerly free world.
When Churchill’s Englishmen tried to say “No” to PM Keir Starmer, they were locked up. The world watched as their homes were broken into in televised raids.
When Canadian truckers tried to say “No” to PM Justin Trudeau, he declared martial law.
And when Americans tried to say “No” to Biden-Harris, they were sentenced to years in prison.
An iron curtain is descending on us. It tricks us, lies to us, manipulates us, gaslights us, propagandizes at us, and when that fails, it outlaws us, censors us and it imprisons us because those who would make us into slaves in their utopia fear one word above all else.
“No,” a word that shattered the original iron curtain can shatter this new one too.
Yes… everything clearly shows how the islamic loving Luciferian Globalists of this world are helping, aiding and funding the satanic islamic Antichrist Beast System… called Islamofascism…
Gee a-wipe…..did the article really say that? Gee Joe, say it ain’t so.
By the way what sect of Christianity do you belong to. you told me a few years back but I forgot.
The denomination of St. Imbecile. – as far as I remember….
Might very well be.
I think you mean “NO.”
Any religion denying the son of God would be considered antichrist. So did you forget to include the religion commonly called judaism?
NO!
NO!
NO!
NO!
1. islamic,loving,luciferian,globalist
2. satanic,islamic,antichrist,beast
Bravo! It rhymes!
Now you only need to compose a cute little melody for it to be sung in your Temple of Bonkers.
Precisely – you pulled the sheets down to find the satanic commie bed bugs and they are lethal
The D.C..swampers are baking a dark marxist cake. With no file inside to escape their jail.
Their main ingredient is “dialectic materialism” then add dashes of the French revolution, the show trials Of the Bolshevik’s , sweeten it all up with some empty calories of an icing of some Roman type Caligula presented by Hollywood. Sycophants..
For the leftist beast supported by Democrats, it’s a fun cake If you behave and act like a “brown shirter” that is under there definition of freedom yes, right out of the pages of Orwell . “War is peace” ,” love is hate “ .they will allow you to close down highways ,spray paint federal building’s destroy statues . Attack Jewish students attending school, violate classic art., and attack civilization without impunity
As the Marxist privilege class that has gained enormous power since the Obama administration they are now destroying and dismantling the foundations of the American republic. As we live and breathe .unless Marxist thought is defeated. ,as it was in the past.. we will be subject to an oppressive totalitarian Society that is gaining throughout the world that even the Soviet Union could not dream of or imagine in the past
They must be cast out of office or we will spiral down to Kafka dystopian world
Sorry, but when a Supreme Court Justice asserts that government censorship of social media posts should be allowed lest the government be hindered, we are already there.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, NOT the Supreme Court.
That ruling is lawless, unconstitutional both on its face AND as to the spirit of the First Amendment, AND IS TO BE IGNORED.
Treated to popular nullification. NOT afforded the respect of precedent or stare decisis.
Yes, I was surprised by that ruling. What a travesty of justice.
I’m going to look up the vote record because I want to know who had the integrity to vote against it. I bet Thomas did. He’s the best of them. I bet Alito did, too.
I haven’t looked it up, yet, but I’ll bet the 3 votes for freedom were Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito.
November 5, 2024 is the now or never moment to cast the evildoers out. Pray that the voters do what is called for and that the cowards go to hide never to be seen again.
Hey Frank:
You could make a book out of that post. I keep it much more simple. All of the ‘bad guys’ you mentioned are subject to and minions of their father, satan. We are witnessing the final battle between satan and God (and we know Who wins in the end).
Everything we see happening is global, simultaneously, and is all demonic (unless you believe a man can become a woman, and vice versa so it’s OK for parents to encourage their babies to have their little bodies mutilated and their genitals cut off when they don’t even know how to tie their shoelaces yet).
Don’t you know that satan hates children above all, because they are God’s favorite and because of their innocence ? Satan hates women next because they make babies. Ergo, Oct. 7 in Israel.
All of those ‘bad guys’ will get their just deserts, as will all of the Christ rejecters of the world. Remember, the first time He came, He came as a babe in a manger (and satan tried to kill Him then); now, this time around, He is coming as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to render justice to all and bring about His Millenial Kingdom ruling from Jerusalem. (Yup, Israel isn’t going anywhere).
So don’t worry, He is going to kick them all out of office as He sets up His kingdom. It won’t be pretty (Scripture says that some 5 billion people will die a 7 yr. year period that is just a bout to begin anytime soon). The world is about to have a new political system called a Theocracy, and I sure am glad I won’t be here to witness the carnage.
Rev. Roy…………<
Amen to all you preach!
The Bible is true!
It’s Gods Word to us while on earth!
Believe in Jesus—the Passover Lamb! HIS blood covers our sins AND HE’S coming to earth again very soon!
Don’t forget their puppeteers!
Before “no” broke the Iron Curtain, the subject peoples experienced food lines, slave labor, and mass murder along with knowledge of the Free World’s plenty and music. The current suggested Iron Curtain would have no such example of freedom either as a model of comparison or as a place to seek by escaping.
And its why the UN was founded in their firs place it was never meant for World Peace and ending all conflicts peacefully it take up what the League of Nations failed at a Socialist New World Oder lead by Russia and China the Bear and the Dragon Partners in Crime
No way to tell from your comment that you’re “pro” or “con” on the UN, but the dirty little secret is that the UN today is nothing more than a vehicle the 3rd World uses to shake down 1st World countries.
It needs to be banished from our shores immediately, and all US support stopped…NOW. We don’t want anything to do with it, and we don’t need it in any way. And we have no moral obligation to keep supporting all the little pipsqueak countries in the UN, many of which dispise America.
Yep. Nothing the UN does helps anyone today. Nothing.
UN is setting up the world of nations for the antichrist and we are dead heading to that page in Bible Prophesy
Armageddon to ya, sweetheart?
Decades ago, a friend who worked there invited me to tour the UN and have lunch in the delegates’ dining room. There I saw a delegate from an African country that didn’t have paved roads walking around dressed in a $1000 suit with a $10,000 wristwatch on his arm. That’s just one example.
I walked in feeling privileged but when I saw what went on there, I walked out in favor of eliminating the UN and selling that beautiful building for very expensive condos.
UN out of US, US out of UN.
Another important article by Daniel… crucially important.
True. A very important article. Love reading his articles for the most part.
But I must point out a bit of hypocrisy on Greenfields part.
He supports this insane drug war in America. One of the most crushing and authoritarian practices the USA is guilty of is this idiotic and utterly useless war on drugs.
Freedom loving people don’t imprison others for consensual acts.
We have no right to call ourselves the “land of the free” as long as we engage in this heinous and barbaric practice of fighting the drug war.
The families of the hopeless addicts do not consent, ever.
So consent is not consent, unless the family of adults agree that consent is consent??
Do you even have a clue how silly your argument is?
So lets arrest people who drink too much if their family thinks they don’t consent. Because then consent is not consent.
Your argument is beyond silly. But then again all arguments against full recreational drug legalization are brain dead!
You’re another drugged up idiot heading for a darwin award ; goodbye fool
Recreational drug use leads to addiction in most cases.
You ask if adults need to consent but ignore the real problem and that’s their children and parents.
You sound like a drug addict to me! Only a fool refuses to recognize the plethora of crimes perpetrated against innocent citizens by those whose drug-addled lives and withdrawals mandate getting more drugs by any means necessary! Clearly, your thinking resembles that of those for whom drugs have significantly and most likely permanently altered your brain functions. Sadly, such self indulgence creates an endless circle of disaster. Think of Platzspitz Park in Switzerland.
“Drugs” covers a lot of territory. Often they are called “medication” by the wealthier with their private doctors. To automatically argue “addicts” doing anything, etc. etc. is to generalize and stereotype (build up a strawman) and then argue against THAT (tear it down.)
But it’s ok for you to stereotype anyone opposed to drugs.
Street drugs, prescription pads, when addicted they will do anything to get them.
The crimes related to drugs are all due to drug prohibition! Are you so blinded by your bias that you how moronic your argument is?
If drugs were legal there would be no more drug related gang violence, no more cartels , they would all go out of business.
With all due respect, you seriously can’t be that stupid!
You don’t know the first thing about me. I don’t do drugs.
So answer this: Why do you hate freedom? Are you such a monster that you support imprisoning people for consensual acts? And most importantly, how can you be so brain dead? Maybe you do too many drugs. I bet you are a junkie!
Drug addicts are useless period.
At this point, who can be adamant about any one issue?
Freedom must occur for any worthy issue to have a chance.
In your gulag cell, you will indeed want drugs but will only get them as someone’s may deem you do.
Sheesh!
Opium is the opium of the masses. Drugs are allowed to proliferate by the government to create more government funded industries and more stupid, helpless citizens.
Based on what. I’m not sure I even get your point. Are you saying that if drugs were legal, they’d just be used as a tool by the gov to expand themselves?
Call me crazy, but I always thought like alcohol, each individual choose what to consume or not consume.
for 10 milliseconds I was conflicted to give you thumbs up or thumbs down – children under peer pressure taking a pill lace with deadly fentanyl don’t live to regret and never do it again – CIA and cocaine trade with the MS13 was sloppy and many innocents were murdered if they happened upon the scene and saw – even teenage boys riding their bicycles in Mena, Ark when Clinton was governor there.
Legalized marijuana sold in dispensaries to treat illnesses and the use of THC oils for pediatric to geriatric ills is well known and documented.
Cocaine was the barter for cash and guns in Iran Contra (Of which I shipped AK47’s to Switzerland that was used during this time in a CIA contract with a Air-Sea-Land freight forwarding company at LAX)
Cocaine used in USA and made into crac crystals targeting the ghettos was a plan to keep the blacks and other in poverty down! and it worked. And that was done by your typical demonKKKrats and RINOs who are globalist war profiteers just as this article paid out
So before you get too sympathetic on the illicit drug trades, i ask, are you a dealer or a user or just lost in the BS of the main sleaze media?
Daniel has a way of funneling a vast swath of material and allowing the reader to focus on–in this case, unfortunately–the brutal essence.
“for my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”
One of the immortal sayings, describing leftist politics in a nutshell.
“MOB RULE!” It took decades for them to Plant the Seeds and now we’re seeing the trees with branches going in every direction. Now we’re seeing the rotten Fruit. Now more seeds which has grown worldwide.
Yes, from the ’60s to the ’80s when our CPUSA and the KGB teamed up to take over S.E. Asia, then Central America while recruiting MILLIONS TO PLANT THE SEEDS in our schools, cities, states, nation, and the prize, Congress and the White House with them appointing Their Rotten Seeds to head departments that are being used to poison our country, and world.
OUR YOUTH are being recruited as early as Sesame Street so by the time they get to college, they are full-blown Communists with professors being the same and who then give them undeserved good grades used for advancement, grad school, then a job that they are only qualified for on paper and hired ONLY due to the Color of their Skin, their LGBTQ status, being a First, a DEI agenda, and surely NOT on the Content of their Qualifications! A DREAM turned into a NIGHTMARE!
RESEARCH TODAY’S DEMOCRATS and I bet you’ll find that they were one of the ROTTEN FRUIT WHOSE ROOTS GO BACK FIFTY YEARS TO A CPUSA/KGB OPERATION!
Unless I misunderstood, the argument made at the end of this piece is a bit contradictory, or the very least, quite discouraging. The case is made for “no!” against tryanny, but just prior to this argument, recent examples are given when people said “no” en masse and were punished into oblivion.
They were punished into oblivion, because spineless Republicans didn’t bother themselves to see the J6 for the set-up it was.
Many still to this day incant the required phrase “all involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Except for FBI plant, Ray Epps, that number is zero. That state run entrapment cost several their lives – Kevin Greeson being the 1st when he was hit in the eye with a projectile (inducing a fatal heart attack.)
Thankfully, Julie Kelly is on top of it, so there’s hope.The sell-out bitch, Liz Chenney worked tirelessly to cover it up, while shilling on that bullshit J6 committee. (They actually destroyed exhonerating evidence.)
I think we can blame both parties, not just one. “The establishment” has not become obsolete as a useful terrn.
Discouragement is not an inappropriate reaction. But only if you, me & everyone fails to pledge their life, fortune, and sacred honor.
“ Justice Minister Mahmood may deem to be hateful or harmful content”
Simply saying that his, it definitely won’t be a woman, saying his surname might influence his decisions would get me locked up.
One subtle difference
– in Russia and China it was accomplished by bloody revolution
– in the western world today its done at the ballot box / voting machine
The ballot box is only possible when purchased (and defended) with blood. I can think of no nation whose existence was not formed in bloodshed.
EXCELLENT writing as always, but really scary. Scary because these issues are exactly what FPM has been warning us about for decades.
Speaking of scary… (just in time for Halloween)…. yesterday, I posted my first YouTube trailer for a proposed movie I’m creating entitled: “Que Mala Malvada: La Bruja Socialista”. Translated: What a wickedly evil Socialist witch
I utilized ChatGPT to generate the script, and and then used Invideo to generate this 45 second YouTube short.
I’m hoping to crank out all 10 Episodes for Season 1.. Seeking constructive comments.
that’s quite a skill you have – albeit the real news is always more terrifying what’s going down in USA and the world of nations
Good analysis, Daniel, but the concluding sentence, “No,” a word that shattered the original iron curtain can shatter this new one too” is somewhat doubtful.
It may have worked then, but this time around it’ll require a power far superior to ours to return freedom to our Western nations. Our formerly ‘Christian’ nations, custodians of the “Good News of the Kingdom”, have turned their back on the Most High thus opening the floodgates to “foreign gods”.
Psalm chapter 2 speaks of this: “.. the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us…”
But He promises His Anointed, the Son, some verses later: “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth…”
So here’s the solution to shattering the iron curtain this time around: the return of our Savior. Chapter 2 ends by saying, “Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.”
Other passages from Scripture shed some more light on the situation: Psalm 82 … and Isaiah 28:1-4. Weren’t all the ‘riches of the world’ given to the House of Joseph and His sons Ephraim and Manasse – as per Deuteronomy 33:13-17?
Perhaps the world is being prepared, as sumsrent says, by the Luciferian Globalists, for the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7) and the “generation of God’s wrath” (Jeremiah 7:29). Accelerationism (birth pains) appears to be a worldwide reality. Watch out for the “covenant with death and with Sheol” (Isaiah 28:15), the “strong covenant with many for one week” (Daniel 9:27).
Absolutely.
The “covenant with many for one week” is covered in Part 3 of the www.messiah2030project.com series. I found it well-researched and very interesting.
Thank you Duncan for understanding and seeing the Truth…
What’s a “migrant?” Are they like the swallows flying back to Capistrano?
On a personal note, one of the times I’ve been to the Capistrano Mission, a swallow took a dump right on my brother’s head. It was funny as fuck.
A migrant is someone who leaves a tyrannical regime where he is at the bottom of the heap, in search of a soon-to-be=tyrannical regime where he can be at the top.
This is the most important article ever released on this site. The ordinary productive citizens do not usually have time in their lives to sit and discuss governmental policies that grasp for power over them.
The information here is critical for our citizens to understand and realize what is occurring in our country. It MUST be repeated at least weekly until the election so that it has greater exposure to our fellows.
The word “NO” is expressed in many different calibers when necessary.
The word “no” is spoken in many different calibers.
Illegals already being armed. The lying thieving democrat Marxist army. Law enforcement will be overwhelmed. Going according to their plan. Trump\Vance 2024! America First! ULTRAMAGA!
Read Kurt Schlichter’s book The Attack.
A Leftist enabled domestic Islamic disaster is coming. They are already here via the Biden open border policy and the idiotic Obama policy of letting Muslims in from Somalia. Weapons have been smuggled in and are cached in the mosques. God knows what is going in Dearbornistan MI as most of the area is a Jihadi no go zone.
Everyone should read Townhall contributor Kurt Schlichter’s book called “The Attack”. In this book he details a possible coordinated jihad attack in the U.S. over three days by small groups of armed Muslims and cosplaying white wannabe terrorists, first against businesses, second against Americans in their homes, and finally against infrastructure. The attacks take place mostly in the unarmed blue state cities and suburbs. The jihadis do not want to be confronted by armed Americans
Kurt Schlichter said it best in his TownHall articles:
townhall com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/03/25/america-is-going-to-be-targeted-for-a-massive-terrorist-attack-will-you-be-ready-n2636901
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/06/17/joe-biden-reminds-us-to-buy-guns-and-ammunition-n2640535
Bottom line, buy guns and ammo in the areas of the country where you still can. You guys who live in blue cities and blue states, MOVE NOW! You are sitting ducks. Democrats want you unarmed.
are the jihad terrorists flooding into the USA and with our tax dollars, being given money, smart phones, and flown anywhere int he USA, waiting for 9-11-2024 or 10-7-2024 for a coordinated attack?
I can’t tell if you are being snarky, or if it’s a legit series of questions. If you are being snarky, too bad. Just read the book. All of your questions are answered in the book except for dates, although Muslims like to attack on terrorist anniversaries.
It’s the entire western world that is being displaced.
IOM.int is a UN agency that openly states that it wants “Regular mass migration”
This is already happening!!
How about Aurora, CO!
Now the oil fields of west Texas—stealing oil!
Buckle up people! Without an intervention from GOD, we are headed for h-e-double hockey sticks—-literally and figuratively!! Remember, the last book of the Bible(Revelation!) says a one-world-government is coming……wake up! It’s arrived! The world is now totally owned and controlled by a few extremely wealthy people. There’s a big UN meeting coming up in the next few weeks in NYC and they’ll sign another document that all countries have to obey that will finalize Agenda 21! God help us!
Also, it’s never too late to read James Burnhams’ The Suicide of the West. It’s unfolding right now under our noses.
I live in a blue state, and I can tell you I’m not in short supply of either guns or ammo. And I’m not alone. Despite the draconian and unconstitutional laws, there are always means of acquiring what need. The totalitarians may feel safe operating in a blue state, but may get a nasty surprise when the do. The second amendment exists in all fifty states.
Thanks to stinking Democ-rat politicians, “woke” tyranny is upon us. What do Democ-rat voters say? “At least it ain’t Trump.” Democ-rat voters are damned fools!
Voter fraud is the Night King .
People are seeing patterns that the Bible points out — so I reckon we’re dead heading to the antichrist
YES!!
Spot on!
You hit the nail on the head!
We are living in the “end” of the end times!
Exactamundo. R candidates should be saying this.
Btw had comments in other pieces moderated then not posted: who is the moderator censoring comments?
Mr Greenfield forgot to mention the war on drugs. Nothing crushes our freedoms more than locking people up for consensual acts.
The funny thing about freedom is, to declare you are for “freedom”, means you don’t get to pick and choose what is allowed to be free and what isn’t. That would be a contradiction. As long as you don’t commit acts of force or theft against others, in a free country, you should be allowed to do it.
The families of the useless drug addicts never consent.
Don’t be drawn into this nonsense.
“Drug addicts” and “drug users” are not the same thing.
The majority are.
I love how my fellow conservatives rave about freedom, and then at the same time support this moronic war on drugs.
Before you comment and tell me how stupid I am, answer this question: What do you hope to accomplish with this retarded war on drugs? Is a pristine drug free utopia your goal?
The families of the useless drug addicts do NOT consent, ever.
Don’t get drawn into the nonsense.
You still didn’t answer my question.
All addicts make excuses, there’s always something or someone to blame.
A “pristine utopia” as you call it is not possible on earth. But that doesn’t mean we ought not try to get there. Also, if you had a family member die or become.addicted to drugs (which is a tool of the Totalitarians to suppress and addict the masses) you wouldnt be so cavialier about your views. And there is no argument that it does no harm to others – it can destroy entire families. Look to the Lord not to the drug of the day.
Very strange how this piece about the BOR is followed by the off-topic drug conversation.
Well, this article is about the erosion of our freedoms. And the drug war is one of the most fascist things our government engages in.
And there is a bit of hypocrisy on Greenfields part because he supports prohibition of drugs while writing an article complaining about us losing our liberties.
If I had a family member ruin his life or die from drugs, I’d be more likely to act and think with my emotions rather than my head. I had close family ruined with alcohol. That doesn’t mean I’m advocating for the ban of alcohol. Theres a big hole right there in your idiotic analogy. I wise man once said, the quickest way to a totalitarian society is to let the victims write the laws! How true that rings here.
“A “pristine utopia” as you call it is not possible on earth. But that doesn’t mean we ought not try to get there.”
The way we are “trying” to get there is by ruining lives by imprisoning people.
There is harm to others you say? Lets ban alcohol because it ruins families, not just the user.
Can you see how stupid your argument is? Lets ban everything that might harm the people close to person engaging in risky behavior. Wrong! That would mean taking all freedoms away for the sake of living in a pristine utopia.
Your arguments are completely brain dead!
By your logic we should ban alcohol. Tell me. Why do you hate freedom so much? Are you a communist?
If someone can ruin the lives of their family with alcohol why do you need drugs as well?
Adults make bad choices unfortunately.
But surely you can see the dangerous slippery slope of taking peoples freedoms away because they may affect their family.
So would you ban alcohol as well?
I am called a pessimist but I hold to the venerable military maxim:
‘ IF YOU ARE NOT WINNING YOU ARE LOSING.”
There’s one salient point that Mr. Greenfield omitted in his article. That is everything he mentioned would not likely happen in countries where all political parties are banned. Meaning every single elected and appointed person in the government would be an independent. This would dilute the ability of those in power to act against their citizens. Political parties are a curse and modern history has proven that military and/or political totalitarianism has always begun with the formation of fringe political parties. Then these fringe parties either takeover an already established dominate political party and outlaws all opposition or the fringe party becomes so successful that it eventually gains absolute power.
All the manufactured hatred and vitriol that divides modern society is due to political parties. Some of the founding fathers of United States warned about the consequences of the formation of what was described as factions. Unfortunately, we are living out the logical end result of allowing political factions to represent the people. It can only end with one political party in power, which will then dismantle all the safeguards of the Republic, leading to totalitarianism. The only way to alter this course that United States is headed is to eliminate the formation of all political parties at the local, state and federal levels.
100% on the mark.
Nobody ever voted for the party system, it was imposed on us by the establishment.
And just who is going to force the elimination of political parties, which would be a direct attack on the freedom of association? Your proposal is a fantasy. The real problem is in parties (and one in particular) not organizing and committing to an active defense of the liberties backed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The “institutional” GOP has been rolled or co-opted by the Progressive Democrats since the latter appeared on the scene more than a hundred yrs ago. They are totalitarians at heart, and hence are committed to achieving their ends by any and all means available. Laws are either to be ignored when convenient for their purposes or used as a weapon to defeat and imprison their opponents (or worse). We are witnessing the latter at the highest levels of government, supported by the rank-and-file of the Progressive Democrats. They are in league with Islamists and a multitude of hard left fellow travelers, and they are committed to eliminating all who oppose them. When totalitarians tell you what they intend to do, it’s best to take them at their word and act accordingly. To put them down will require organizing and acting on both the local and national levels, not dissolving into a mass of solo drifters.

Thanks for the suggestive reading!
Went back to April 2024 on American Thinker and read the article and the included piece by Selena Zito! Excellent! Both articles!
Democracy is a failure when just about less than half of the people just want to get free stuff(AKA thieves) and get away with their crimes.
Democracy can and will be abused with some massive fraud and cheating at that point.
Soon after it becomes Kleptocracy. A dictatorship with the main purpose of ripping off anybody they can, and literally killing anybody who resists. AKA sharia law, or communism.
Integrity, honor, morality and righteousness, logic, the truth or the facts have zero value to the criminals and terrorists. Their minds work at the basic animalistic level. The opposite of what the civilization is.
The only way to stand up to the criminal and terrorist take over is use of force.
Be prepared and ready, forget about many values we were taught as being tolerant or respectful of “others.” Those values are worthless when it’s only one way. Those values are in fact suicidal when it comes to facing the savages who want to destroy everything.
Democracy is a built-in failure. In its purest form it is mob rule. This is why the USA was never a democracy but a democratic republic, subject to the Rule of Law. Our problems today stem from the fact that our leaders have done everything they could to circumvent the Rule of Law, to the point that our constitution has become little more than a quaint little piece of paper.
I retired from the federal government in 2016. I worked in a regulatory agency for forty years. The whole time I was there we were very cognizant of “regulation by raised eyebrow” and were very protective of doing anything that might be construed as the agency encouraging or discouraging media outlets to/from presenting constitutionally protected material. We even decided not to provide broadcast stations with a script for a public service announcement giving information on how they could participate in a local public forum the agency was going to be hosting for fear stations might feel compelled to ait it. What the eff has happened to our government in less than a decade where it now feels entirely justified in pressuring media outlets to censor material, including truthful material, that runs counter to administration narratives? I just don’t get it.
Your previous bosses know.
obama happened.
Do you think it may have something to do with the Patriot Act, warrentless searches, the Department of Homeland Security, among other things?
They are only prevented if absolute takeover (so far) in America by our 2A. Something to think on…….
The FBI knew damn well what was happening and, like our equally Deep State One World Govt agency Secret Service, let it all unfold so as to not only be responsible for murder of four human beings but to do so for the greater good of disarming the population so we can’t protect ourselves from absolute tyranny. Never let a crises go to waste, and if there aren’t enough crises, make em up. That sums up our Dystopian world. BTW the CDC thinks guns are a health crisis and has gone on record with that. Its coming.
Cant edit here for some reason. I am referring to the Winder shooting.
Daniel Greenfield hits another one out of the Park!
Enjoy him while you can; soon he will be outlawed along with anyone who has a brain and is brave enough to speak out!
I have been screaming this very thing; clearly free press no longer exists and the Constitutional Republic I defended for 26 years in the US Army is on the verge of ceasing to exist. Much of this is our own fault; we have become uneducated Sheeple.. We are too lazy to think for ourselves and accept the government’s position in fear of being attacked or cancelled.
The time to fight is here; if the Harris Puppet takes over as the mouthpiece for the Leftist Global Elitists, the Constitutional Republic will not survive the 4 years…
Not “we” — unfortunately, it is “them” — we who do our best to maintain America as it was founded are not part of it.
And what do we call this “system” of evil that is tightening it’s grip? It’s called The Beasts of Revelation 13. One beast out of the Sea which is the Gentile nations, and the second beast out of the earth which is the semetic nations. To put them in perspective, the Beast out of the Sea would be the western, or Oxidental nations. The Beast out of the Earth would be the eastern and Islamic nations.
This is a pernicious attack on America by Hamas Joe, KamelToe and the entire Marxist cabal. The meretricious DemoNazi Party is doing the CCP’s bidding.
We are in the midst of a Democrat Fascist-Communist Revolution in America.
Fascist Commie Globalists need to destroy Judeo-Christian Western Civilization and depopulate us to be replaced by 3rd world uneducated slaves amenable to totalitarianism.
We are watching the “incredible shrinking Free World.”
There is a Fascist Leftist-Islamic axis of Evil.
I remember in 2018 Anne Marie Waters described Islamic Darkness Descending over Europe: https://youtu.be/ShuzJTvcBTQ?feature=shared
Yes… satanic islam is referred to as Islamofascism…
Incorporating every religion that’s ever existed into itself…
The Days of Wine and Roses actually ended for America after the cold war, when Western Marxism, which was an ideological byproduct of Western atheistic totalitarianism created and unleashed a combination of sexual and cultural revolutions across the nation, where every political and social issue was interpreted along the lines of class, ethnicity, race and gender orientation. The progressive left’s New Age Gospel and its utopian political creed challenged traditional Judeo-Christian doctrines to accommodate new developments in the natural and social sciences, especially the theory of evolution (No one, plus nothing, times blind chance equals everything) creating a spiritual malaise in the fragmentation of Christian moral tradition and family values. Today’s society is dominated by an identity crisis that is manifested in a societal fragmentation of confused thinking, radical ideologies and regressive change dominated by social customs and anti-social behaviors which are becoming more inhuman and totalitarian every day.
Churchill was defending BRITISH men and not just Englishmen.
At least some people haven’t completely turned on Churchill. I sure wished you could have been a counterbalance to whatever that jackass historian was saying to Tucker Carlson about Churchill being the supposed villain of WW2.
Will we say “ No” to another Democrat party steal (win) of a presidential election? Or stay silent again as we shamefully did after the J6 fed actions?
That could be an opportunity for a rather consequential “ No” moment.
Or must we have mass targeting of Jews…… again? And then, you……
John Adams said at our founding, “Ours (country) is for a religious people (Judaeo Christian) and is good for no other.” my paraphrase. We have the Second Amendment as a last defense against tyrants, Jewish-Christian religion for spiritual strength, and trust in the ‘ways of God’ for living well.
Since much of the above is lost on so much of today’s electorate, America is quick time marching to the pile of failed nations.
Since my difficult adult conversion to Christ 54 years ago, I’ve worked in and around churches. Most church people are Biblically illiterate, ill informed of our history, and use religion as a hole in the ground to hide their head.
Like Mick Jagger sang in “Between a Rock and a Hard Place”……..’building dream churches with silver spires, while rogue children are playing with loaded dice’
Sadly, this will always be the case. Most people don’t want to take the time to understand what they believe, it’s all window dressing and slogans.
Just FYI, Zuckerberg is still to this day banning and censoring people and information at the request of the Biden-Harris administration.
Whiffs of the old Stalin quote to Beria: “Leave the physicists be. We can always shoot them later.”
What a well thought out article.
I heartily agree with Daniel Greenfield’s 3 stages of authoritarianism. I believe we have passed the First Stage, where the law is applied unequally (for example, Pres. Trump being being persecuted in courts while-for instance-Hillary gets away for erasing her illegally posted Emails) or the law is applied to mislead by corrupted institutions (eg Dept of Justice & Jack Smith, the Special Prosecutor appointed by the oxymoronically named Merrick Garland).
We are near or at the 2nd stage, where rationales are made to prosecute free speech. For instance, Zuckerberg (the head of Facebook and Instagram) wrote that the FBI and Biden Administration functionaries scared him into censoring and outlawing the speech of those who did not toe the line of the Biden Administration. Want more?
Look at what Kamala has already done! According to Tulsi Gabbard she knew some people in prison were innocent (this was when she was Attorney General of California) but didn’t release them. She enslaved them as prisoners, so that she could get free work from them (this from the woman who advocates for reparations!). I don’t know if the media is self-censoring themselves or not-but after Gabbard made this charge I haven’t seen it addressed anywhere (except, perhaps, in Conservative Publications).
In my opinion, if Kamala becomes President, she will outlaw free speech, ie any speech that goes against her Administration will be made illegal. This will happen a lot sooner than later, especially if the House and the Senate both become Democratic. According to Greenfield this will be the third and final stage of the loss of freedom of speech.
From what I see of how Israel (our only true ally in the Middle East) is treated; how Trump is treated; and how Hunter Biden is treated, then it becomes obvious to me that the only thing the Democrats care about is attaining power. They don’t care about right or wrong, or the rights laid out in our Constitution.
They remind me of those Frenchmen who were gung-ho for the French Revolution-only to find out that they also were slated for the guillotine.
In any event, many thanks again to Mr. Greenfield.
The elites and oligarchs intend to rule, the will of the people is rejected.
