The regime of the American Founding—natural rights and limited government in ultimate service of securing property and, at its height, achieving virtuous human flourishing and excellence—is now said to be white supremacy (and evil). The details of the indictment have changed since Workers of the World Unite, but the targets and the totalitarian solution are akin. Our institutional and cultural mechanisms would have been perfectly at home in Soviet Russia (indeed, are at home right now in Communist China). The apparatchiks supervising Pravda and Izvestia in the 1980s would recognize the subtle and not-so-subtle manipulations and memory-holing that so often happen today at our leading media organs.
The Biden administration’s just-released National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism suggests that a good portion of its political opposition are potential terrorists and enemies of the state. Domestic law enforcement (and U.S. foreign intelligence services, in some instances) will be deployed more aggressively against a wide swath of Americans who are guilty only of holding incorrect political opinions. This is not how a constitutional republic secures itself. The growing call for vaccine passports across the nation and states should be considered the opening wedge for a bio-social-credit system imposed through a public-private/corporate partnership. The governments of the West, seizing on the opportunity presented by COVID, are fusing “public health,” corporate HR, and the wider bureaucratic apparatus (including the military) into a tyrannical control mechanism at war with human nature and human freedom.
Finally, the predicates for an American cultural revolution led by a youthful student vanguard seem to be dropping into place. The recently released 2021 American College Student Freedom, Progress and Flourishing Survey shows that 69% of students think professors should be reported for saying offensive things in class and 60% of students think students should be reported for the same offense.

The “soul of the nation” has to be its people and the culture they create. This was always what really protected our rights, not words on paper. The “Faith of our Fathers” has been lost and/or warped, our language (English) is under constant attack, and the Left has been successfully trying to replace the population for over 5 decades. The state looks a bit shaky, itself, when you consider the inflation that we are seeing.
"Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is to meet President Joe Biden at a summit Wednesday, has suggested that the hundreds of people arrested for rioting at the U.S. Capitol are being subjected to “persecution for political opinions.”
Putin is likely to come under strong criticism from Biden at their meeting in Geneva for moves against his political opponents in Russia, particularly the imprisonment of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the detention of thousands of demonstrators protesting his arrest, and the outlawing of Navalny’s organizations as extremist.
“You are presenting it as dissent and intolerance toward dissent in Russia. We view it completely differently,” he said in an interview with NBC News broadcast Monday. He then pointed to the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington when protesters barged into the Capitol to try to halt the count of electoral votes to certify Biden’s election victory over Donald Trump.
“Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress? ... They came there with political demands,” he said.
Although the protests that erupted across Russia after Navalny’s arrest in January were unsanctioned, demonstrators were largely peaceful and did not enter government buildings or cause significant property damage, unlike the Capitol riot.
Putin also reiterated denials that the Kremlin was behind last year’s poisoning of Navalny with a nerve agent that nearly killed him.
“We don’t have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody,” Putin said.
“Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin said, referring to Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as she tried to climb through a window that led to the House floor
He just ripped up the Constitution and the Declaration right in front of our faces and NO ONE is talking about this.
Joe Biden must be removed NOW ! !
The map is not the territory.
The “United States” has become a fiction where there are no “shared values” or “consensus” about much of anything.
That toothpaste is not going back in the tube.
Very true. I think regular people in the North and South had a lot more in common in 1860 than Right and Left have today. I do not want to be “united” with the weirdos on the Left in any way. I’m sure they feel the same way about me. I do not share what passes as their values, we do not have the same religion or world view, and a good portion of the Democrat base doesn’t even speak English.
America is being destroyed long term by ideological subversion as explained by KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov. The 1984 interview is stunningly prophetic and a warning. Maybe it’s too late.
Good description of socialism.
>>Joe Biden must be removed NOW ! !<<
You do it and you will be known as the founding father of the country.
“ The regime of the American Founding—natural rights and limited government in ultimate service of securing property and, at its height, achieving virtuous human flourishing and excellence—is now said to be white supremacy”
Well?
.No one seems to realize what has just happened.
Every good element about the freedom and liberty of America was trashed on international TV by a world leader.
