People Notice When the Elites Lie
American Thinker.com ^ | October 7, 2021 | Twilight Patriot

Posted on 10/07/2021 2:54:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

I'm going to try to explain what's going on in America right now by drawing a connection between two news stories. On the surface, they don't seem to have much to do with each other, but when you really think about them, it's obvious that there's a common thread.

The first story comes from way back in November of 2018, when President Trump complained about an "Obama judge" on the Ninth Circuit ruling against his asylum policy. Trump's comments angered Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court, who gave a speech saying:

We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.

Trump responded by tweeting: "Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have 'Obama judges,' and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country...."

For the Deep State and its sympathizers, Roberts's statement was a dignified and erudite defense of the institutions of liberal democracy, while Trump's tweet was a crass attack on said institutions.

Ordinary Americans, who aren't emotionally invested in keeping up the illusion that all is well on the banks of the Potomac, saw something different. They saw John Roberts telling a lie and Donald Trump telling the truth.

Everybody knows that most of what the upper level of the judicial system does is politics by another name. They know that most of the time, Obama judges, Trump judges, Bush judges, and Clinton judges rule differently on politically charged questions.

another lie -

Elites: “You need to get the vaccine, because it makes you immune to Covid”

Public: “Then why do we STILL have to wear masks? If we’re really immune?”

This entire virus situation has been a giant power grab and had nothing at all to do with health. While Biden brings in diseased unvetted low IQ third world types to use as future leftist voters actual Americans are being denied medical care. I saw an article about that, “University of Colorado Hospital System Denies Woman’s Life-Saving Kidney Transplant; Will No Longer Provide Organ Transplants to Unvaccinated Patients”, and you can give that a look at GatewayPundit. We have Afghanis spreading measles and other things across the USA and this woman is being denied her friend who wants to save her life’s kidney. And people are only ‘elite’ because they say they are. Those folks still fart and take craps just like the rest of us. They aren’t really special.

Yes, he and his wife’s two Irish adopted kids. THAT is what Obama had on him to get him to switch his vote on ObamaDONTcare are the last minute. The dissenting opinion on that reads as a majority opinion because it couldn’t be changed after he switched his vote right at the end!

When the **** hits the fan if you haven’t already practiced your 2A rights you’ll be regretting it quickly and often up until you can’t any longer. Look at Australia!

...all this is happening because people notice when the elites lie. They notice when the elites engage in censorship. And they don't un-notice. Also, once they've stopped trusting you, they won't start again just because you want them to. Instead, they'll trust somebody else, even if, in your (now irrelevant) opinion, that somebody else is the worst person in the world for them to trust.

Whoever ' Twilight Patriot' is - he's insightful and he totally 'gets' it... Worse for 'elites'? As more citizens become red pilled - fewer and fewer 'elite' lies will last beyond a few days.

Roberts sounded like all those old Mafia heads who would say - “ there’s no such thing as the Mafia!… ridiculous!!…”

Its not just that I don’t believe the Corporate Media and Big Tech as well as the Democrats, government bureaucrats and College profs.

Its that I automatically believe the OPPOSITE of anything they say. They don’t have no credibility with me. They have negative credibility.

I’ll then look for evidence to see if that is correct and sure enough, most of the time it is.

“Covid is deadly and you have to wear your mask at all times!!!”

Then how come Obama’s party guests don’t wear them? How come none of y’all were wearing them - but made sure to make your waiters and waitresses wear them - at your swanky $30,000 per ticket Gala in NYC?

“We have to cut carbon emissions. That means we’re going to have to cut energy consumption, turn off the AC, only fly when absolutely necessary, get only electric vehicles, etc....or the earth will die in 9.5 years. Save da Erf!”

Then why do you have a giant energy sucking ocean front mansion? Why do you have a fleet of gas guzzling cars...or a limo? Why do you constantly fly around in private jets?

“Covid is so deadly we have to close the public schools”.

Then why do you have your kids in private school?

“Walls are bad! Walls don’t work. Walls are racist! We must have no walls!”

Then why do you have a wall around your giant mansion?

“Having to show ID to vote is RACISSSSSSSS!!!!”

“then how can you support having to show a vaccine passport including ID to get into a restaurant, ride public transport, go into a private business, etc?

“Covid is so deadly, private indoor dining must be banned!”

Then why were you at the French Laundry - one of THE most expensive restaurants in the world - with a bunch of lobbyists? For that matter, why is it allowed to be open?

“Covid is so deadly, you have to get vaccinated or be fired from your job!”

Then why are illegal immigrants pouring into the country by the million and flown into various red states by military transport aircraft not tested for COVID or vaccinated?

“Fossil fuels are evil! We must ban fracking and stop construction of the Keystone Pipeline! Save da Erf!”

Then why did you approve Nordstream II and why are you calling on OPEC to pump more oil?

I could go on like this for days and days. We notice. You don’t live ANY of the things you advocate. You don’t make one iota of sacrifice for anything - yet you never stop calling on us to make sacrifices. How could we not notice this. Its right there in front of our faces every day.

I have a friend who is a doctor (not a virologist or epidemiologist), who was horrified that people don't want to get the "vaccine". He insisted that, although it prevents neither infection or transmission, it does (somehow) reduce the "vaccinated" person's ability to spread "COVID", and therefore reduces the ability of the virus to mutate into variants.

True story.

Roberts took the USSC to a legal gymnastics tournament to give us the gift of ObamaCare. You know, ‘cause it’s a TAX.

Whenever I listen to it, I’m reminded of my grandchildren and try to imagine what their world will be like in 20 years and they pull out Pa’s old music and hear this song. Very sad to think about it.....
