Watching Big Brother
American Thinker ^ | 4 Apr, 2021 | Anthony J. DeBlasi

Posted on 04/04/2021 5:10:41 AM PDT by MtnClimber

A growing number of souls are finally seeing how far down the “slippery slope” we have come.

My brother served in World War 2. In 2017 he “checked out of the grand hotel,” a phrase he coined for leaving this world, having left his “kid brother” (me) a wealth of good counsel, encouragement, and files enough to fill a basement. During my high school days he wrote a poem that hit hard and deep at the evil he sensed in his day. The sharpness of it stunned me, all the more since I was a tenderfoot in matters of such weight. That was over 70 years ago, when America still proved to be “the land of the free and the home of the brave” − for which the “Great Generation” is still venerated. While his poem reflects the tyranny of two world wars, the second of which called my brother to arms, it could have been written today as an outcry against the tyranny of globalists preparing us for their “Great Reset”:

SNIP

Sal’s clap of thunder against tyranny was hard for me to grasp at first, but the source of its wrath became more evident as I watched what happened to America after my return from the war in Korea in 1955. America’s decline from a free and vibrant nation to one of encroaching dictatorship from a federal government colluding with unelected NGOs was getting hard to ignore.

SNIP

A middle school teacher – her name was Helen Drew – reminded me in 1946 of the importance of courage. In my graduation album she wrote: “How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a wayward world.” A teacher quoting Shakespeare today could face a symbolic beheading. Do you wonder why?

Before the election was stolen I thought we had a chance against the evil of leftism. Now I am not sure.

Before the 2020 election was stolen by a bunch of conniving Democraps, I thought we had a chance against leftist evil. Now I am not so sure.

The recent Capitol car attack underlines the level on animosity against the elected dwellers......which is well-earned....and spreading like wildfire.

The haste in erecting razor wire barriers around the Capitol is to protect themselves.
The elected are scared stiff, hoping against hope to protect their sorry carcasses from the people.

When our "elected betters" see we, the people, joining together, it scares the crap out of them.....
They don’t want us to know they’ve lost the country. They’re ruling with force and fear, not consent. (h/t virgil) .
