How I Knew The Democrats and The Media Were Lying About January 6th - Because I used to do it too.

“ If totalitarianism did not exploit [archetypes], which are deep inside us all and rooted deep in all religions, it could never attract so many people, especially during the early phases of its existence. Once the dream of paradise starts to turn into reality, however, here and there people begin to crop up who stand in its way, and so the rulers of paradise must build a little gulag on the side of Eden. In the course of time this gulag grows ever bigger and more perfect, while the adjoining paradise gets even smaller and poorer.” ― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Utopias by their nature have only two options if they’re to survive. They must lean into totalitarianism or collapse. We’re now at the moment when the Democrats, with complete control of the legacy media, nearly all major institutions of power — including those run by the government — are slowly adopting totalitarian practices to shut out speech they don’t like.

Good Read and gives you hope about Carlson's breakthrough to the left. It appears that now you can be a Jan 6th denier and not be considered a fringe conspiracy nut. Personally, I had watched a Nazi show on the History channel, specifically about the Reichstadt fire just the night before (Jan 5th) and couldn't believe the parallels. Schumer's conduct, the day after Carlson's first show, was beyond the pale.

Good read!

EX:.......”Almost everything they said happened at the Capitol that day didn’t happen the way they said it did. We’ve never gotten the full story. We got their narrative, the one that was useful to them, the one they believe would stop Trump and MAGA or at least give them permission to wage war against their own citizens.”

As we all know here at FR, never, ever do you see damage or vulgar behavior at a Trump rally. So, you KNOW no one backing Trump would ever damage ONE INCH of that beautiful capital building. Never ever climb up the walls / they stopped midway for cameras to take lots of photos.

Please donate to Freeper today, so we can have Freeper tomorrow. No pop ups. PLEASE pass the word. JimRob’s tank needs filling before the end of March.

Trump was right, IS right and the MAGA peeps knew it.

The word Utopia is Greek for “nowhere”.

I tend to think that is an example of Ancient Greek humour.

The toponym is Ancient Greek, but it wasn't until Thomas More coined the expression (a pun on 'ou-topos' [no place] and 'eu-topos' [good place]) when titling his satire in the 16th century that it acquired the political sense.

You could tell that the authoritarian state was shaking by the reaction of Schumer, a little, physically weak man shouting threats hysterically at Fox News and shaking like a leaf. The Big Lie personified, just as its the Big Lie for the nation’s chief “law enforcement” officer, Garland, to have claimed just this week that five Capitol Hill cops were killed that day. And their slavish acolytes in the “press” offer not a word of criticism.

Show me a liberal that isn’t lying, and I’ll show you one that’s in a coma.

Everyone should watch (or rewatch) the film “Network” and find and watch “2081”, a short film by Chandler Tuttle and based on the story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut.

No. As we know from years of experience at this point, the Corporate media is lying.

About everything.

They are just the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.

Once you figure that out, you learn to disregard them because you KNOW every single last thing they say is a lie intended to fluff the Democrats and tar their political opponents and disfavored groups.

Except, of course, per usual it wasn’t just the Dems.

Oh, plus the cited “dissidents” are the usual controlled opposition.

Chris Plante once worked for CNN. Now he has a radio show—streams on iHeart—and tells of deceit (and omission) by MSNBC and CNN.

Remember, those filthy liars had an entire narrative prepared for Trump’s phone call to Ukraine, a truckload of horse manure which Schiff or one of those jerkoffs actually promoted on the House floor, which was only defeated because the Donald had released the transcript for that call. The Carlson videos are the equivalent of that transcript - the problem of course is the truth of January 6 was not made widely available until two years after our corrupt media had allowed the big lie to be established in the minds of much of the sheeple population.
