The Biden administration is weaponizing myths and fear
American Thinker ^ | 11 Feb, 2021 | Liberato Jones

With tall tales about climate change and COVID-19, leftists are relentlessly chipping away at our economy and our constitutional rights.

Only three weeks into Biden world and the outrages keep piling up. George Orwell’s worst dystopian nightmare might soon pale in comparison. And for Biden, the big levers are climate change and COVID-19.

Fifty years ago, it was global cooling that the left was peddling. When it became obvious that it wasn’t cooling, they had to transition to “global warming” and with help from the leftist media, they have managed to warp the views of the average American.

When the world then stopped cooperating with the warming narrative they slipped into “climate change” as a replacement. There is a scientific consensus we are told. Never mind that science doesn’t operate by consensus and that climate change doesn’t really mean anything. Trust the scientists.

Great scientists like Al Gore and AOC tell us that we are in an existential crisis, even though none of their predictions have come to pass. It has not warmed significantly in twenty years and some researchers are warning a cooling trend is coming. What then? Will we eat more meat in the hope that cow flatulence will stave off the great cooling? Will we incentivize the purchase of SUVs and build more coal power plants? Will we blame Donald Trump and conservatives for making the climate variable?

Climate changes occur in every century. Larger trends exist that we can see in retrospect but it’s almost impossible to predict where the climate will go. The world has often been a warmer place than it is today, a trend punctuated by periods of global cooling, as seems to be the case now. Still, leftists band together to soak the American taxpayer for a problem that does not exist.

The cure for every crisis is always communism.

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.

Who exactly is inciting insurrection among the citizenry?

<><> Who decided the 2020 election is legitimate?

<><> The 2020 election depended entirely upon mass mail-in votes, that in some cases, violated state law.

<><> Why isnt Congress examining battleground states voting infractions?

<><> Why isnt Congress investigating votes received after legal deadlines and/or violated signature-matching requirements?

<><> Why isnt Congress demanding authenticating of voter identity?

<><> Why is Congress so oblivious about Trump winning nearly every bellwether county by double-digits but lost the election?

Communism, socialism, whatever the term that is attached, are all command-and-control regimes. Promises are made that are NEVER kept, all in the name of “equality” and “fraternity”, which somehow, never include any degree of liberty.

Liberty is at best a fleeting thing, and not to be tolerated, as it is sand in the mechanism of the command-and-control regime. It is to be erased wherever it appears, and a bogus sort of “freedom” is substituted in its place, being reasoned as being “freedom from” rather than “freedom to” engage in pursuit of life, liberty, and quiet enjoyment of the fruits of one’s own labor, including ownership of property.

That’s a good point. This will not be a civil war but a Declaration of Independence from this tyrannical government that has taken hold of our Constitutional republic.

As far as I'm concerned he is not now, never has been, and never will be President. We are in a state of hostile occupation by foreign agents. There is no doubt Biden, Harris and others in their circle have significant financial ties to foreign entities. Their loyalties are not just in doubt but demonstrably not to the US. They are bought and paid for. I think the Clintons were better at it - more professional, more of a business. Biden et.al. seem more like fly-by-night careless grifters.

The intruders into the White House had all departed within six hours with none likely to return. The country’s southern border, on the other hand, is being opened to massive intrusion by people who will not voluntarily leave.

If I correctly understand what Jen Psaki said, people in the USA illegally will no longer be deported for DUI or assault. By this policy change, plus the stopping of the building of the border wall, ending the Remain in Mexico policy and returning to Catch and Release, the Biden administration is tacitly inviting more illegal immigration rather than less.

The ruling Demonrats actually hate a free, strong and sovereign America.

Wrecking America is their way to ensure a globalist future under international law.

Open borders, amnesty, free everything, and voting rights for illegals is their best way to wreck America, which is their goal.

Really I don’t see any president has much power anymore. They can try to stop a few little things. The one who’s actually calling all the shots is the central/world bank. They’re the one we really need to withdraw and declare independence from.

American Police State: No Questions Allowed

By J.B. Shurk / Feb 11 / American Thinker

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/02/american_police_state_no_questions_allowed.html

When does a free state become a police state? Is it when government declares itself “essential” but religious worship “selfish”? Or when making a living becomes a crime? Or when free speech rights are afforded only to those who say “correct” things? Or maybe when tens of millions of Americans find themselves unexpectedly labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the military-media complex overnight?

Perhaps the telltale sign is this: simply asking why becomes subversive. Questions become bigger threats than foreign missiles. Words are regarded as weapons legally possessed only by those in power. For all else, they are rendered contraband.

If Congress were transparent, rather than vindictive, and if its members worried more about finding truth than burying it, then lawmakers in D.C. would have spent the last few months quelling doubts about the 2020 election instead of intensifying those doubts with a second, inflammatory impeachment. Alas, we’re ruled by unserious people who take their power very seriously.

Consider the following contraband questions Congress will never answer:

Why should the 2020 election be viewed as legitimate if the outcome depended entirely upon the unprecedented use of mass mail-in balloting implemented, in some cases, against state law?

Why is Congress not interested in knowing how many mail-in ballots were counted in battleground states that were either received after legal deadlines or in violation of signature-matching requirements or other safeguards for authenticating voter identity?

Why is Congress so incurious about the reality that Donald Trump won nearly every bellwether county from coast to coast by double-digits on his way to losing the election?

Why is Congress so incurious about how an incumbent president could expand his support by over ten million new voters and increase his share of the minority vote, yet still come up short against an opponent with historically low levels of enthusiasm among his own base?

Why is Congress so incurious about the conspiracy between corporate news and social media to censor negative stories about Joe Biden during the campaign while aggressively deplatforming conservative commentary and online social networks of Trump-supporters for years before the 2020 election?

Why is Congress so incurious about a “secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites” who conspired “to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win”?

Why does Congress deem such reasonable questions so threatening?

Why do lawmakers insist on threatening American citizens for thinking critically just because Congress itself abandoned critical thinking long ago?

All of these questions are now too dangerous or too inconvenient for the U.S. government to abide.

A razor wire topped fence completely surrounds the Capitol building because of a mostly peaceful intrusion that was completely over within six hours. There are also 10,000 national Guard troops at the Capitol to protect the USA’s government elites.

On the other hand, the southern border of our country is being opened to increased illegal immigration which leads to many types of harm to ordinary Americans.

We are living in Orwellian times.
