The Rebellion is Alive and Thriving
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | June 17, 2023 | Sundance

We live with a new type of tyranny, where we find ourselves dissidents.  It is not like any previous tyranny. It is not revolutionary in nature. Instead, it operates very scientifically and technocratically by convincing those it tyrannizes to demand their own enslavement, under the guise of comfort.

Prior dissidents were at least dissidents of a tangible, kinetic revolution. We are dissidents of what the willfully tyrannized perceive as their secure position within the rightful order of things. This needs to be factored in to how we think about “converting” and “awakening” others amid the ongoing insurgency.

(Via Daily Mail) – A Fox News producer who resigned over a chyron that described Joe Biden as a ‘wannabe dictator’, has broken his silence.

Alexander McCaskill posted a photo of himself on Instagram holding a cardboard box outside the corporation’s New York offices.

He told his followers ‘Today was my last day at Fox’ and described his time there as a ‘wild 10 years’.

McCaskill is thought to have been responsible for the chyron which claimed President Biden was intent on locking up his 2024 rival, Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Fox had it on screen for less than 30 seconds, and then apologized. Dailymail.com has approached Fox News and McCaskill for comment.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed the producer had resigned during his new show, now being broadcast on Twitter, on Thursday.

He did not name the producer but The Daily Beast reported that it was McCaskill, who worked with Carlson on Tucker Carlson Tonight for many years.

McCaskill seemed to confirm news of his resignation on his private Instagram account in a lengthy post.

‘Today was my last day at FOX. It was a wild 10 years and it was the best place I’ve ever worked because of the great people I met,’ he wrote.

‘But the time has come. I asked them to let me go, and they finally did. To all my friends there: I will miss you forever.’ (read more)

That picture of KJP at the link makes me wish I could drop her off in Haiti and watch her scramble over the rubble in her high heels and dress. The number of diversified people working to upend our Country is absolutely infuriating.

“willfully tyrannized perceive as their secure position”

Very astute observation.
Clear points ... good article.

And as for that young man who put up the runner on fox..
YES ...he is legend.
His name will go down in history with the likes of Kyle Rittenhouse and General Patton.

It makes me wonder how many more are out there ... just bending to the pressure... ready to go

“to demand their own enslavement, under the guise of comfort.” Whatever. In other news, June 16 is the annual feast of the Sacred Heart. It was horrible to see baseball stadiums yesterday, 6/16, wear rainbow hats. Who do you want to serve? The Lord with love or Satan with fear? Pray for all ballplayers forced to wear rainbow hats.

Every time I read or hear the word dissident, I think of Vladimir Bukovsky, and his incredible work: To Build a Castle: My Life As A Dissenter. To put up with the insanity of prison torture, Bukovsky built a castle of, and in, his mind. But this castle had rooms, vaults, kitchens, bathrooms; immense halls and small reading rooms. To withstand the torture, his mind would go to the construction of the castle. Eventually, he would even receive visitors and friends in the castle. His abusers and torturers tried and tried to break him. USSR stated that any dissident must be psychiatric, crazy, since everyone knows that Marxism and Socialism is a 'perfect' system. Anyone who disagrees at all must be treated in order to get their mind right. The Soviets pumped Bukovsky full of all kinds of of chemical 'treatments' to 'cure' his insanity. Another 'treatment' was to completely wrap the body in a material that would shrink when they poured water on it, compressing the person until he would finally sign the confession. Bukovsky began expressing his views in high school, and eventually spent a third of his life in gulags, prison camps, work (death) camps, and the psychiatric 'hospital.' Bukovsky is an example of the Western World keeping someone's name in the public eye. Constantly mentioning his name in negotiations and speeches was one of the reasons he was finally exiled to the West. It is amazing that he can use humor and jokes in the book. Jokes aside, one of the most amazing quotes is about standing up and saying something is wrong:

""Why should I do it?" asks each man in the crowd. "I can do nothing alone."

And they are all lost.

"If I don't do it, who will?" asks the man with his back to the wall.

And everyone is saved."

I know about the chyron only because of the news about his dismissal.

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials,

The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox in four parts without commercial interruptions

The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle

And leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams, and Spiro Agnew

To eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary
The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre

And will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia

The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal

The revolution will not get rid of the nubs

The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because

The revolution will not be televised, brother

There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance

NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 on report from 29 districts

The revolution will not be televised

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay

There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process

There will be no slow motion or still lifes of Roy Wilkins
Strolling through Watts in a red, black, and green liberation jumpsuit that he has been saving for just the proper occasion
