When should a government be properly understood as a threat to the lives and liberties of its citizens?
Perhaps no greater delusion stubbornly persists from one generation to the next than the idea that governments can be trusted. Sure, they conduct their affairs in secret, spy on their own people, and arm themselves to the teeth — but, by all means, trust them as you would a dear relative. Sure, they steal from productive citizens, manipulate markets, and swell their bureaucratic armies with ever-growing taxes — but, by all means, trust them as you would a close business associate. Sure, they impose their beliefs on our culture, ban the public expression of unfavored religions, and interpose their agents between parents and children — but, by all means, trust them as you might a pastor, rabbi, or priest.
Even after the global wars, genocides, engineered famines, and kill squads that made the last century the most barbaric in human history, it is exceedingly common to hear Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others from the Church of Big Government mock ordinary citizens for not putting absolute faith in government institutions. Distancing themselves from the State-sanctioned atrocities of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao while nonetheless pursuing policies that similarly elevate the organs of government and intimidate citizens into compliance, today's ruling-class cult leaders pretend that the twentieth century's mass slaughters could never be repeated here and now — as if the predisposition toward mass murder were a peculiarly German, Russian, or Chinese prerogative and not a tragic ailment endemic to the whole human race.
Oh, sure, Justin Trudeau confiscated the bank accounts of Canadians who resisted his tyrannical COVID lockdowns, but such rank authoritarianism was necessary to protect the public's health...

....Trump would be President.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The globalist left is working to attain absolute power. The mass migrations being inflicted on western nations is an example of the pure evil of the globalist left’s absolute power.

A good piece. One of his best, I think.
Death by gubbermint.
Yep, me too.

As others have said:
“My body, my choice”
If a vaccine works, I shouldn’t have to care if you’ve been jabbed with it.
Secede. The only option left.
“And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.” - Thomas Jefferson - 1787 letter to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams
Biden got into the Oval Office by illegality:
1. vote buying of student loan debtors and to a lesser extent seniors and parents wishing to have subsidized childcare
2. alien invasion
3. unconstitutional naturalization
4. unlawful judicial election meddling
5. election fraud of various types
We’d be drilling for one thing. Nordstream would be bypassing Ukraine. We’d have another 500 ft of wall on the border. And we’d have a couple million less illegals mooching off of us.
“Secede. The only option left.”
Wales and Scotland have considerable autonomy.
Scottish voters got a chance to vote for independence.
your point?
“Secede. The only option left.”
Income and property tax caps are other options.
The other option is the bayonette.
and worst of all. No visible means of support. Campaign events couldn’t draw flies much less supporters.
I’m supposed to believe that a senile, little girl sniffing, aged, pervert, basement dwelling individual running to be President of The United States of America is capable of eighty million more votes than a viable much loved former President capable of drawing tens of thousands to his campaign event.
Somehow I’m just not believing what the media is asking.
That is a damned good essay. Should be read and heeded by every true citizen.
