Americans Exiled Within America
American Thinker ^ | April 18, 2021 | Fay Voshell

“Exile" conjures images of banished figures like Napoleon, who languished on the island of Elba, rendered powerless by isolation.

Groups of people considered troublemakers also have been exiled from their lands. Diasporas of "undesirables" like the Jews have been a constant in the history of nations whose rulers wanted to be rid of what they considered indigestible elements.

Exile within one's own country by a totalitarian regime has been less noted.

For such an enterprise, we may look at Vichy France, which was under the thrall and control of a fascist political system imported by Germany but facilitated by French citizens. Non-conformists found themselves termed by Charles Maurras as "internal foreigners," exiled within their own country. Measures favored by an imported ideology were enacted against them.

Anyone familiar with the actions of the Vichy government under orders from a foreign power notes its capitulation to Nazi policies on race. Many of the "internal foreigners" were Jews, who soon were exiled from the administration, armed forces, entertainment, arts, media, and most professions. French police confiscated phones and radios while establishing curfews and prohibiting trav

Increasingly, in America, large groups of citizens also are being exiled while still within their own country. Seen as troublesome obstacles to unity and peace, the stripping of their power and even their voices has accelerated during the last year, particularly during the last few months — be it the rules and regulations surrounding the advent of COVID-19 or the suppression of free speech by the MSM and tech giants, or the imposition of laws millions find repressive.

Worth reading the whole article. We all know about the politically suppressive effects of isolation, distancing and masking...how they prevent us from staying in touch with our friends and communities and, particularly, with like-minded people. The left has been very successful in working through the Federal government, the media and the corporations to produce a totalitarian state with a silenced populace.

My only question is whether they stumbled upon Covid and realized it was a perfect vehicle for their ambitions, or whether there was a plan from the very beginning.

Beginning with wildly loved and popular President Donald Trump - the legitimately elected president in 2020 but has instead been exiled by the Delusional Lying Left.

Indeed. He might as well be on Elba.

...and the White House is under occupation by an enemy force who stole the legitimate election from Trump and the American People.

It’s worth reading...she has a call to action at the end, but how can we do anything when we are silenced, separated and exiled as she describes so well in the earlier part of the article?

It doesn’t matter in the long run, because as you say, the result is the same.

Personally, I think it was a combination of forces that coalesced immediately to take advantage of what was probably an accidental leakage of a gain of function experiment (funded by Fauci’s agency, among others). Initial reports linked it to the sale to the meat markets of “used” lab bats by low-level employees.. They were apparently in the habit of stealing the leftovers animal bodies or parts from experiments and selling them.

The CCP used this to spread panic immediately, probably to control their own population and isolate difficult areas. Most of the hysterical videos emerging of people dropping dead on the street have been shown to be fakes made for domestic distribution.

The fact is that it’s a cold with a low mortality rate (from secondary infections) except among the already seriously compromised....even most of the elderly who died had under a one-year life expectancy ... has been stifled and the press has devoted itself to revving up panic over outlier cases (outside the usual pattern), which exist with any disease.

But we can’t talk about any of this. I read that DeSantis, who had a press conference/round table with doctors for the truth about Covid, was completely suppressed by the MSM...and now has his own Rumble video channel. People are trying to fight back.

In order to achieve their goals, leftists first must tear down the current situation. They accomplish this by isolating us from each other. It is much easier for leftists to win if we conservatives feel alone, without any allies.

FTA: In order to change society to include formerly excluded groups, groups such as the bourgeoisie, AKA the middle class, must be exiled from participation in the political process. They and the institutions that formerly empowered them must be radically changed or done away with altogether in order the formerly marginalized are empowered.

The bourgeoisie are to be denied permeability and fluidity necessary ever again to rise to the upper classes of power. Since the power of the bourgeoisie is seen as systemic, intrinsically evil, and exclusionary, it is considered only just that former "power brokers" are exiled within their own country for the sins inherent to their class and race. It is considered just to give their positions to those deemed their victims. The former rule of law, which forbade the punishment of the children for their forefathers' sins is upended and societal realignment according to the new order proceeds. However, though fixed in societal stasis, the exiled bourgeoisie will still be taxed.

As Hannah Arendt pointed out in her essay "Ideology and Terror: A Novel Form of Government," isolation and the resultant impotence isolation brings are one of the "primary concerns of all tyrannical governments[.] ... Isolation and impotence, that is the fundamental inability to act at all, have always been characteristic of tyrannies. Political contacts between men are severed in tyrannical governments and the human capacities for action and power are frustrated."

MY EMAIL TO GEORGIA GOVERNOR KEMP RE. COVID HOAX
Governor Kemp,
Inasmuch as you, unlike some other governors, have restored many of our too easily and foolishly abandoned freedoms due to the COVID HOAX, you may find this 5 minute testimony by an expert in the field helpful in vindicating your previous actions and move you to take the necessary next steps to get us back to the OLD CONSTITUTIONAL NORMAL.

PERHAPS AN EMAIL TO YOUR GOVERNOR IS IN ORDER?

I thought this was a great article, because it analyzed the different aspects of this...which are common throughout leftist “democratic” totalitarian takeovers throughout history.

Yes, and it still stuns me that Hillary was able to get away with just saying that.

I live in Florida so my governor is De Santis...who (along with anybody daring to appear with him) is being attacked and silenced by virtually every media source.

He just joined Rumble and I think will have his own channel. Maybe Kemp and some other governors should do the same?

Lucky you. Your guy is next on my list behind Trump for POTUS if DJT stays out in 2024! If we don’t clean house - LITERALLY - in ‘22, we’re toast!

The right lacks organization and there has yet to be a critical event to set things off.

But it’s not really a call to action. Like most of these articles, she says what should be done, but not how it is possible. If things continue as they are, there are only 2 ways for people to be free - several states to secede or people will have to leave the US and find some place where they can be free.

All of the current/forthcoming oppression is/will be justified by Covid, Climate, or Caucasians.

They tell us to just keep voting. As if it matters.
