Rittenhouse, Smollett, and the Big Lie Eating Away at America
The American Mind ^ | 12/13/21 | Tom Klingenstein

Posted on 12/14/2021 1:36:55 PM PST by PoliticallyShort

Magnify the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecution and it is easy enough to see how our enemies, those I call the “woke communists” (comms, for short) are turning America into a totalitarian police state. Woke communism operates somewhat differently than 20th century totalitarian regimes. In those regimes, the government used arbitrary violence to control every aspect of public and private life. There was a scapegoat, as well as a simple narrative that explained everything.

In woke communist America, the government does not control everything, but where it leaves off, the cultural-business complex takes over. Education, corporate media, entertainment, big business, especially Big Tech and the Democratic Party, together constitute America’s woke communist regime. The scapegoat is white males. There is violence in the form of state-sanctioned mobs, but more often, and almost as effective, is cancelling. The narrative is that America is systemically racist and about to be overtaken by white supremacists. Everything must be made to fit this narrative. The Rittenhouse affair is a good example of how the facts must be twisted to fit the narrative. (The Jussie Smollett hoax is another example.)

The lies told by the woke comms about Rittenhouse (i.e., he was a white supremacist in search of blacks to kill) easily could have been debunked within 24 hours. After all, we had the video, which clearly showed that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. But the woke comms told us it was murder. They demanded we reject what we could see with our own eyes. In a totalitarian regime, it is the regime that decides what is true and what is false. In such regimes the goal is to abolish the capacity for distinguishing between truth and falsehood.

Nice to see someone else come to the same conclusion.

So, it’s more like Fascism, with NGOs[The Fake Media, et. al.] joining Woke Big Capitalists to oppress The People.

The 2020 election was another example of the woke comms threatening violence to achieve their goals.

***********************************************************

This is an excellent article except Klingenstein left out one very important point and that is the MANY believe that our Supreme Court 7 (all of them except Alito and Thomas) were INTIMIDATED by the rioting and death threats despite the tens of millions spent to protect them and their families.

Kyle Rittenhouse was darned lucky there was video all over the place on this.

If the only “witnesses” had been the Leftists who wanted him dead, he would rot in jail for decades.

I read but wasn’t all that impressed. Another person yelling “FIRE” but apparently clueless about what to do. Here is the author’s advice: “Republican politicians must keep their eyes open so that they can see how woke communism is turning our country into a totalitarian police state. “

Riiiiight. The likes of Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney aren’t going to do squat. The gop “leadership” isn’t going to do squat. He might as well have suggested that we all join antifa so we could at least be on the winning side.

Not only that, but he missed the only black guy who tried to kill him, JumpKickMan. God was with Kyle that day.

He was indeed, and thank God for that.
