The Citizenry Can No Longer Tolerate America’s Authoritarians

America’s authoritarian elite have been wrong about everything, whether COVID, immigration, or elections, and our nation cannot survive that much longer.

The perpetually irascible Samuel Goldwyn, a founder of the American motion picture industry, once quipped, “I am willing to admit I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.” While Goldwyn said this tongue-in-cheek, the quote is an accurate portrayal of one of the primary and most obvious character traits of the legions of authoritarians that now dominate the entrenched ruling class, legacy media, and the Democrat party, and who by their malicious and depraved actions over the past twenty-five years can no longer be tolerated by the American citizenry.

Those who have a predilection towards authoritarianism invariably have a deep-seated conviction of infallibility combined with attendant hubris and pathological lying. These are traits that are always present in those who can justify any devious, unethical, or even violent means to achieve their goals.

There are two irrefutable and intertwined realities that the citizens of any constitutional republic must recognize and understand. First, any group or entity that espouses ever greater power for the central government, socialist-centric economic policies, and continual erosion of individual freedom is an existential threat to that nation as founded.

Second, the leaders of these factions and their disciples will lie incessantly, and under no circumstances will they alter their policies or tactics, as they can never be wrong in their pursuit of unbridled political power. They must be soundly defeated at the ballot box, or civil strife will inevitably ensue.

Nothing better defines this mindset of infallibility, arrogance, and pathological lying to achieve political power than the most malicious exploitation of the citizenry in American history: The deliberate manipulation and mismanagement of the Chinese Coronavirus “pandemic.”

Roe v Wade taught me all I needed to know about these monsters in this regard. The Chief justice in his memoir admitted there was no legal basis for the decision but that it was simply time.

Kunstler had addressed this the other day also:

"What was their power for? I will tell you: nothing more than maintaining that scaffold, which was a colossal racketeering operation, a matrix of money-flows at every level from the cash payments to their sniveling nose-ring foot-soldiers marshaled outside the ICE buildings, to the many thousands employed by Woke foundations, think tanks, and NGOs, to the grifters of the teachers' union, to the mayors, governors, and bureaucratic myrmidons of 'sanctuary' cities and states, to the federal agency goldbricks and 'Trump resisters,' to the zillion-dollar stock portfolios of their avatars such as Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Adam Schiff, to the accounts receivable of the Lawfare firms run by Norm Eisen and Marc Elias, to the bonuses of worker bees in foundering news orgs such as The New York Times (Michael Schmidt) and MSNBC (Nicolle Wallace)."

"That is the beginning and end of their power-seeking: one big moneygrubbing racket."

Perhaps "alternative media" is beginning to make a significant dent in the protected monolith of the "entrenched" as times change?

And I at first thought this was going to be a hit piece on Trump.

Was Samuel Goldyn a Joo? That may explain it.

They are in the throes of a religious fanaticism. They are unreachable and must be ostracized, left to boil in their own juices.

Covid was a MASSIVE transfer of wealth upwards. That’s why I favor taxing the living hell out of the billionaires. Also, it taught us that the police and enforcers are not on our side. They enforced mandates and lockdowns and none of them were slaughtered for it.
