COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

“In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues….”

“The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.” ― George Orwell


A final relevant quote from Solzhenitsyn’s speech: he opines that in the long run “liberalism is displaced by radicalism; radicalism surrenders to socialism; socialism can’t resist communism”.

Will we, as a free people, disrupt that path by insisting that our political leaders follow the dictates of the First Amendment to our Constitution i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of the press, right of the people to peacefully assemble, and the protection of religious freedom against government interference? I believe it is incumbent upon those of my generation to speak out to preserve our democratic principles for future generations.

Note:

I have been banned from commenting on Blogger. Washington DC is under occupation by an army. Whose army? I'll tell you this:

If the occupation continues after the last cherry blossoms fall, you will know that the occupying force is not protecting you or the interest of free Americans.

  1. The current GOP meme that socialism leads to communism is a load of crap. There are plenty of examples of countries that have socialist policies who have not descended into communism.

    America would benefit greatly with a single payer health care system.

    It is funny watching the current Republicans whinge on about 'freedom of speech" and "canel culture". Trump urged the repeal of Section 230 which shields media companies from being liable for what appear on their networks. Ironically with both Dems and Pub's dragging media execs to congress and threatening the repeal of Sec. 230 media companies now believe they are responsible for what appear on their networks. So, Trump spews his fake news and they cancel him.

    Geeze, Louise, didn't the Supremes proclaim corporations are people too? Can't they say what they like, or not, just like the rest of US?

  2. Let’s define Socialism, shall we? A political and economic THEORY of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. In MARXIST THEORY: a transitional social state between the OVERTHROW of Capitalism and the realization of COMMUNISM. A load of crap clearly defined.

    How would America benefit greatly from a single payer health care system? Please give details. Cancel culture is alive and well on the left and the fake news media. Speaking of cancelling, did you see what happened to Biden at the end of his recent conversation with Pelosi? He got cancelled.

    Democrats just voted to ban voter ID nationwide and force every state to permanently expand mail-in voting.

    We went from the most transparent president in history, to the least.

    Why won’t President Biden hold a press conference?

    1. I regularly watch Fox. I guess that is hilarious to you and a boon to their ratings.

      I do find it funny, on Fox, each time they moan on and on about the "media" - here they are, the "media", bitching about what the "media" does. Their lack of awareness is astonishing.

    2. watching Fox is like watching cartoons - like the old Looney tunes; Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Janine Pirro - they are looney as hell, yet, to the Fox Nation, and MOME, it is the beacon of righteous truth and civility.

    2. was that your way of asking if I was black?

      Delete
    3. I always thought you were black which implies that you still are. I recently checked my DNA and discovered I am 1.5% Nigerian.

      Delete
    4. I do remember you concluding I must be black given my comments. I'm not sure how that implies anything about me but it certainly has implications for you.

      Delete
    5. Common sense and normal observations does have implications. Although as some pundit quipped that we live in a world of “historical dislocation.”

      I say what I think. What others imply from my thinking, then saying, is their problem. I honestly don't care what other people think. I care about what they do.

      The culture collapses around us and the mob continues to shed common sense.

  21. A prediction on Wokism: ..."More than 70 years ago, George Orwell explored the intention behind the dystopian determination to deprive the individual of his true self. Emptied of all his former ideals, meanings, and priorities, he would become an empty vessel for totalitarian dogmas: “You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.”

  22. China’s Arctic Ambitions Pose Growing Threat to Canadian Interests, Top Defence Official Warns

    This is a headline on Zero Hedge. Are the Canadians finally getting it?

    I've been warning anyone that would listen about the folly of trade with China since my Belmont Club days.

    My premise was simple:

    Create a free trade zone in the Americas, limited to the democratic states and to the exclusion of Communist China.

    Now, Canada, the US, Russia and the European Arctic States need to form a pact that excludes all others; Read CHINA.

    1. I realize Russia is not a democratic state, but it is an Arctic State. No country in the world presents a greater threat to Russia than China. There is not question in my mind that all those Siberian assets and territory is on the Chinese menu.
