Most Americans believe that Democracy is the God of Everything Good, the right way, the only way, the way God intended. Our Democracy is not an enlightened form of government. It does not represent the pinnacle of civilization. It’s the product of a propaganda campaign that began in the early 1900s.

Walter Lippmann wrote the people in a democracy are a bewildered herd of interested spectators, malleable and hopelessly ill-informed. Democracy manipulates the bewildered herd into believing they are in control of their government.

The Vietnam war briefly changed the American political landscape. In the 1960s, there was an increase in citizens participating in marches, protests, and demonstrations. They believed in a government by the people and for the people. They rejected, despised, and disobeyed those running the country for their financial and political advantage.

However, in 1975, The Trilateral Commission, a US-based think tank, published “The Crisis of Democracy.” This publication would reverse the enlightened political landscape from an educated, involved society back to the bewildered herd.

Lead writer, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington wrote that “the democratic surge of the 1960s was a general challenge to existing systems of authority, public and private. In one form or another, it manifested itself in the family, the university, business, public and private associations, politics, the governmental bureaucracy, and the military services.”

Huntington concluded that the US suffered from an excess of Democracy. “The effective operation of a democratic political system usually requires apathy and noninvolvement.” He stated that the crisis of Democracy stemmed from a society that was becoming educated and participating. The solution would be less critical thought-based education. The newly engineered authoritative Democracy would have the appearance of freedom but not the substance.

The irony of more ignorance to save our Democracy went unnoticed. It became apparent that it was at risk when students learned things that government did not want them to. The Commission was concerned with schools and universities that were not doing their job of “properly indoctrinating the young” and that “we have to have more moderation in democracy”. The path forward was clear the public school system and the universities would indoctrinate the young people in America. Public Education changed.

Today social engineers work Democracy to the bone. They use the media and all tools available to keep the herd ignorant and superstitious. Schools do their part, and our multi-party electoral system is a beauty contest between two pre-selected candidates. Call It Democracy

JFK’s Blueprint For Peace: Repurposed from his 1963 Commencement Speech At American University

I am talking about genuine peace, the peace that makes life on earth worth living. The kind that enables men and nations to grow hope and to build a better life for their children, not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women–not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.

Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Although he referred to it as a baseless and incredible accusation, he perfectly described the American foreign policy imperialists, especially since 1990, with political aims to enslave economically and politically the European and other capitalist countries to achieve world domination using aggressive wars

War makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the allied air forces in the Second World War. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be disastrous to the globe and generations yet unborn.

The expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired to keep the peace only destroys and never create is not the only means of assuring peace. Peace should be the product and the rational end of rational men.

World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor. They only have to live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last forever. The tide of time and events will often bring changes in the relations between countries and neighbors. Peace is dynamic, not static it changes to meet the challenge of each new generation. Peace is a process–a way of solving problems.

No government or social system is so evil that we accuse its people of lacking in virtue. We can still hail the Russian people for their many achievements–in science and space, in economic and industrial growth, in culture, and acts of courage.

The people of the US and Russia have many traits in common, abhorrence of war being one. Almost unique among the major world powers, we have never been at war with each other. No nation in the history of battle ever suffered more than the Russian people did in the Second World War. At least 20 million lost their lives. Countless millions of homes and farms were burned or sacked. A third of the nation’s territory, including nearly two-thirds of its industrial base, was turned into a wasteland–a loss equivalent to the devastation of this country east of Chicago.

All nations must be encouraged to adopt a more enlightened attitude toward peace. The US must reexamine its attitude because it is essential to World peace. And every thoughtful citizen who despairs war and wishes to bring peace should begin by looking inward. They should examine their attitude toward peace, their rivals, the course of the cold war, freedom, and peace.

Government leaders should increase their understanding, contact, and communication with Russia. Maybe a direct line between Moscow and Washington. Avoid dangerous delays, misunderstandings, and misreadings of actions that occur at a time of crisis.

Peace with Russia does not play well in Washington. It was hazardous to JFK’s life.

Putin of Course

Impartial and trustworthy experts like former CIA director John Brennan claimed that “Russia certainly is the most likely suspect,” and NATO think tanker Alexander Vershbow says Putin blew up his own pipelines instead of simply closing a valve because he wanted to show the world that he is a “madman.” The Richard Nixon strategy? I miss Tricky Dick. 

Caitlin Johnstone (http//caitlinjohnstone.com) has the best anti-Putin strategy: “If Putin is a gibbering, irrational lunatic who enjoys blowing up his own stuff for no reason other than to act crazy, surely if we just stand back and leave him to his own devices, he will soon turn the Russian Federation into a steaming pile of rubble.”

Associated Press published the following. “The Kremlin and Russian state media are aggressively pushing a baseless conspiracy theory blaming the United States for damage to natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in what analysts said Friday is another effort to split the U.S. and its European allies.” Those that have heating fuel and those that do not? Non-fuel-producing nations must be dependent upon someone’s energy. Russia accounted for over 39 percent of all extra-EU gas imports in 2021. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1201743/russian-gas-dependence-in-europe-by-country/ 

At a recent press conference, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs.” Does dependence on NATO weapons advance any country’s imperial design?

President Biden and his Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, have warned that if Russia invaded Ukraine, the Nord Stream 2 would be shut down. Idle threat? Fulfilled promise? Coincidence? Nah!

Who did it? Putin, of course. Let’s wait for him to explode Russia. 

On April 2, 1967, at New York City Riverside Church, Martin Luther King delivered an address titled “Beyond Vietnam—A Time to Break Silence.” In that speech, he stepped beyond his allowable terrain to attack US militarism, the day that I believe sealed his fate. A year later, MLK was executed on a Memphis balcony. The 1960s version of the State’s cancel culture.

He pointed out how the aspirations expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution had transformed into what King labeled the “giant triplets” of racism, materialism, and militarism. He called out the hypocritical US government’s commitment to peace even though it had become “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.” That has not changed. I would argue that the post-9/11 “Global War on Terror” solidified the number top spot.

The Washington war party and the Congressional bipartisan are again in the driver’s seat. They are unembarrassed by its failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. These policymakers have rediscovered the prospect of a “New Cold War.” A vehicle to enable the United States to relive the glory days of Korea and Vietnam, a nuclear arms race, and the CIA’s worldwide abominations.

Russian aggression in Ukraine has silenced critical analysis of the embarrassing debacle of the US withdrawal from Kabul in August 2021. Also, overnight the media diverted the “Covid crisis” to the “Ukrainian crisis.” The deceptive Russian threat has replaced any honest and critical discourse on Washington’s atrocities. A task that the state media completed in one news cycle and accomplished before people understood what was perpetrated upon them.

War hawks and the summer humanitarians are seizing that opportunity to encourage the United States to undertake massive investments in military forces for Ukrainian combat. Their cavalier willingness to confront Russian adversaries at risk of direct US war is remarkable. The Ukraine War will prove a disaster for all except the weapons manufacturers that feast on the world’s largest military budget.

In his Riverside Church speech, he said, “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” King called for “a radical revolution of values,” in which “we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.”

Is it too late?

NATO Must Go

If I were to attend a peace rally against the military debacle happening in Ukraine, I would arm myself with two signs. The first sign would say, “NA-TO MUST GO”. The other would read, “DE-NATO-IZE EUROPE”. I believe the NATO military alliance is at the crux of this conflict and many others.

The North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) was signed on April 4, 1949. In 1950, just over a year later, at the start of the Korean War, NATO became involved in the military operation of a war in Asia. Why? Simple, to contain a Soviet ally, North Korea. From its inception, NATO has been an alliance to contain Soviets/Russians in Europe and worldwide.

Senator Robert Taft

Sen. Robert Taft spoke on why he voted against creating NATO. He called the treaty “a program by which we arm all these nations against Russia” He continued, “It thus becomes an offensive and defensive military alliance against Russia. I believe our foreign policy should be aimed primarily at security and peace, and I believe such an alliance is more likely to produce war than peace.”

Taft went on to describe what he believed to be a Russian take on a NATO build-up in western Europe, “Russia sees itself ringed about gradually by so-called defensive arms from Norway and Denmark to Turkey and Greece, it may form a different opinion. It may decide that the arming of western Europe, regardless of its present purpose, looks to an attack upon Russia.“

Taft’s prediction did not consider the Russian response to a NATO expansion into eastern Europe. Today former Warsaw Pact nations like the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, have been brought into NATO along with Slovenia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia was admitted into NATO. The ring that Mr. Taft spoke of has tightened. NATO is now on parts of the Russian border.

George F. Kennan – Former Ambassador to Russia

Former ambassador to Russia and architect of the Cold War George F. Kennan said, “What bothers me is how superficial and ill-informed the whole Senate …” ”I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country dying to attack Western Europe. Don’t people understand? Our differences in the cold war were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime.” NATO was a Cold War military alliance against our adversaries, the Soviet Union, not the people that removed them.

William Burns – Former Ambassador to Russia

Former US Ambassador to Russia William J. Burns, who is now CIA director, admitted in a classified 2008 cable that NATO expansion to Ukraine crosses Russian security redlines. In that State Department cable titled “Nyet Means Nyet: Russia’s NATO Enlargement Redlines”, Burns cautioned the issue of NATO membership for Ukraine. Burns predicted that Ukraine “could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene.”

Last week Putin explained the reality of Senator Taft’s prediction. “For the United States and its allies, it is a policy of containing Russia, with obvious geopolitical dividends. For our country, it is a matter of life and death, a matter of our historical future as a nation. This is not an exaggeration; this is a fact. It is not only a very real threat to our interests but the very existence of our state and its sovereignty. It is the red line which we have spoken about on numerous occasions. They have crossed it.”

For 30 years, Russia has not on wavered on this redline warning. It is not a surprise that Putin followed through on the message. However, idiots like NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg continues to incite war expansion. Statements like; “deploying parts of its combat-ready response force and would continue to send weapons to Ukraine, including air defenses” reeks of war posting.

“Russia is actually challenging core values for security and demanding that NATO should withdraw all forces and infrastructure from almost half of our members. And they have stated that if we don’t meet their demands, there will be “military-technical consequences.” Stoltenberg out of context quotes is rhetoric designed to incite the misinformed.

Because Stoltenberg fails to mention is that NATO expansion poses an existential threat to Russia by placing missile sites, military bases, and combat troops on its border. He also fails to mention that NATO expansion violates an agreement (all NATO members are signatories) stipulating that all parties will refrain from any action that could affect the security interests of the other members.

Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson

How many wars will it take before we listen to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson? Washington advised against permanent alliances, and Jefferson called for devotion to “peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.”

Congressman Ron Paul

In 2008, from the House Floor, Congressman Ron Paul said that “NATO should be disbanded, not expanded.” Washington, Jefferson, Taft, Kennan, Burns, and Paul cannot all be wrong. NATO MUST GO!

War! – Who is it Good For?

Mutual aid, invasion, military operation, call it what you would like. It does not matter innocent civilian victims are killed, maimed, and lives destroyed by armed conflict. Why? Because central governments are evil. It does not matter if they are democracies, monarchs, fascists, dictatorial or socialist they are part of an evil, psychopathic society.

They are not good at balancing budgets, providing health care, education, fighting pandemics, and maintaining infrastructure. However, they are great at starting violent, bloody, and destructive wars. Then when they fail like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, they double down on a new one. This year, the Ukraine model might be the last ever. (nuclear war)

What purpose does war serve? To claim more servants to tax. To rally more of those sunshine patriots that cheer as the naive sign up to kill or be killed? The military-industrial complex needs to sell more armament and weapons to keep profits high. Is it just a cheap production of a new network series? After all, it has all the necessary plots; murder, international intrigue, heroes, villains, real special effects, and it has a corporation willing to sponsor it. Maybe it is as simple as determining the biggest bully on the block.

War – A Spectator Sport?

It is not a sporting event where people act like fans and choose a team to root. No, it is more like a cock fight where you root for the death of one roster over the life of another. The point is that the event is inhumane. Most of us are disgusted by the event and stay away. We do not pick a rooster to patronize, lionize or supply weapons.

Unlike governments, we do not attend or scour the earth in pursuit of cock fights. So, why do I see media personalities, Hollywood celebrities, neighbors, family, and friends picking sides? Does it matter who is killing who? Diplomacy stops the killing.

Can You Say – Diplomacy?

Diplomacy is a series of concessions to gain a purpose, a give and take process. Biden has said that Ukraine will not be approved for membership into NATO. And back in 2015, the US officially recognized the Minsk Agreement for the autonomy of the Donbas as part of a peace process. Obama, Trump, and Biden never pressured the Ukrainian leaders to enforce the Minsk agreement. Nor have they ever taken steps to stop NATO expansion into eastern Europe. In reality, they voted to approve NATO membership for Eastern European nations.

Presidential candidate Biden promised a presidency of diplomacy. He has failed. NATO expansion to the east has long been one of the Russian concerns. Biden blew a diplomatic action that would have stopped Russian troops from rolling across the Ukrainian border.

Putin’s Birdseye View

Putin, a former KGB colonel, came to power in 1999 after the disastrous rule of Boris Yeltsin. That same year, Putin watched as America conducted a 78-day bombing campaign on Serbia, the Balkan nation that had historically been a protectorate of Russia. Also that year, three former Warsaw Pact nations, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, were brought into NATO. Then in 2004, Slovenia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, and Bulgaria were admitted into NATO. Three of those counties were former republics of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.

What boogyman are US arms and the NATO alliance protecting these countries? The answer is Russia and Putin would be stupid not to realize that. Last Monday, Putin said that during a Clinton visit to Moscow in 2000. He had asked Bill Clinton about the prospects of Russia joining NATO. Putin would not reveal the actual response but pointed out subsequent US policies like “support of the terrorists in North Caucusus, ignoring Russian demands and concerns, withdrawing from the arms limitation treaties, and so on.”

Last week, Putin said that for eight years, he had tried to bring peace to the Ukraine situation in a way that would keep the breakaway republics as part of Ukraine. Consequently, he has no alternative but to announce Russian recognition of the two republics. He signed mutual aid treaties with both republics. The Russian mutual aid package began by demanding Kyiv immediate stoppage of all hostilities. Otherwise, Putin added, all responsibility for a possible continuation of the bloodshed will be on the consciousness of the regime ruling in Ukraine.

With no response from the Ukrainian military, a Russian version of Shock and Awe ensued. Russian forces decapitated Ukrainian missiles and everything that supported the Ukrainian military forces. They hit the HQ of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stationed in Donbas. This blow to the Ukrainian General Staff severed control of all its troops.

Accusations of a Russian invasion are blaring across mainstream media. Is Putin using recognition of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent republics as an excuse to bolster his peacekeeping forces, or has Russia initiated an invasion? It appears Russian armed forces are doing what Putin defined as a “special military operation (…) aimed at demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine”. I assume his declaration to demilitarize includes neutralizing oppositional military forces. No matter what the excuse, crossing over the border is wrong.

The western media is not asking, Why does Putin feel it necessary to make this move at this particular time? He believes that the Ukrainian government that came to power after the 2014 coup is illegitimate, corrupt, and is a threat to Russia. The U.S.-sponsored coup ousted an elected leader that was very popular in the Donbas.

Ukraine History – Pre-Maidan 2014 Coup

In the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, Viktor Yanukovych was declared the winner. Later that year, as a result of the Orange Revolution, he was removed from power.

Yanukovych returned to power in 2006 as prime minister in the Alliance of National Unity until snap elections in September 2007 curtailed his power once again. Amid the 2008–09 Ukrainian financial crisis, the Ukrainian economy plunged by 15%, Russia briefly stopped gas supplies to Ukraine in 2006 and 2009.

In 2010, Ukraine needed an experienced leader. Ukrainians elected Viktor Yanukovych president once again with 48% of the votes. It is important to note much of his support came from eastern Ukraine, especially the Donbas provinces.

Maidan Coup

In November 2013, Viktor Yanukovych began moving away from the European Union partnership and chose closer ties with the Russian Federation partnership offer. The European Union and supporters were incensed, protesters went to the streets. The path to the Euro-maidan coup chartered. Fringe groups sided with the pro-European Union protestors. Yanukovych felt threatened enough to flee to Russia. In February of 2014, Ukraine Parliament voted to remove him as president once again and set an election for May to select his replacement.

During the Euromaidan coup, pro-Yanukovych and anti-Maidan protesters took to the streets in the Donbas. They occupied the Donetsk regional state administration (RSA) building for six days. Their protests involved violent clashes between pro-Maidan and anti-Maidan protesters in Donetsk. Separatist groups seizures control over police stations and government buildings in Donetsk and other cities in the Oblast.

Post-Maidan

Ukrainian transitional president Oleksandr Turchynov launched a full-scale anti-terror military operation to reclaim the Donbas buildings. Ukrainian forces made a series of attacks into the Donbas against the rebels. The Ukrainian government forces blockaded cities throughout the Donbas and continued their anti-terror operation. In April, Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts held referendums to determine their future status. The results established two new republics, Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics.

Meanwhile, Petro Poroshenko, running on a pro-European Union platform, won over fifty percent of the presidential vote, therefore not requiring a run-off election. His policies angered the Donbas: he opposed the constitutional protection of Russian as a recognized language in ethnic Russian regions; he intensified Ukrainian nationalism; supported decommunization; and administrative decentralization. All measures further infuriated ethnic Russians living in the Donbas opposed.

Poroshenko immediately launched a War on Terror against Russian-speaking separatists in the Donbas. The civil war has dragged on for years, claiming up to 15,000 lives. His newly installed government empowered neo-Nazi militias and ultra-nationalist factions of the coup. He did little to rebuff western Ukrainian stereotypical beliefs that easterners in the Donbas are a thug culture, a Soviet cesspool, and backward.

Ukraine Today

Today Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a former actor and comedian, has been serving as the president of Ukraine since 2019. Zelinsky promised to end the Ukrainian conflict with Russia as part of his presidential campaign. His attempt to engage in dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his promises to end the war in Donbas have all failed. These squandered promises have resulted in Russian military forces rolling across the Ukraine border.

Ukraine is not a western democracy. I would call it a coup-ocracy controlled by mafioso-type parties, gangs, special interest groups, and US puppets. It is a country that savory characters leverage their power and influence for selfish returns. Ukraine is so unstable that a coup could break out over the weather.

I do not know what the Donbas offers that makes it war-worthy. I do know that after the 2014 coup removed their popularly elected president, Donetsk and Lugansk voted to leave Ukraine. It is called a secession. In a democratic world, some might even call it a declaration for independence. However, in an indentured world, the masters will battle for their property. Remember Abe?

Compliant, obstinate, and defiant are words used to describe a behavioral response to authoritative edicts. Authorities treat people differently based upon which behavior they demonstrate. The compliant rewarded, the obstinate coerced, and the defiant persecuted. Canadian truckers were essential workers defying covid as they delivered goods for the Zoom crowd. They were considered heroes. 

In 2020, when thousands of farmers from all over India traveled to the capital city of Delhi, Trudeau insisted, “Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest.” Fast forward two years to last Wednesday when he told the Canadian Parliament trucker, ”blockages, illegal demonstrations are unacceptable, and are negatively impacting businesses and manufacturers… It has to stop.” 

Trudeau evades the fact that he can stop it immediately. Concede to the truckers’ simple demands; end mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and the government tracking system used to enforce them. Instead, he first resorted to name-calling. Recently he denounced those Canadian truckers as fringe, racists, misogynists, criminals, and terrorists. The hero status is fleeting when you change from compliant to defiant. 

Monday, at a news conference on Parliament Hill, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he invoked the federal Emergencies Act so that ”the federal government is ready to use more tools at its disposal.” He is not talking about more phillips screwdrivers and wrenches. He is talking hammers. Yes, and with an abundant supply of hammers, everything looks like a nail.

Trudeau justifies his action “is about keeping Canadians safe, protecting people’s jobs and restoring confidence in our institutions.” Protecting jobs is the most interesting of these. His mandated lockdowns and labeling of non-essential workers prevented many Canadian from working.  

Not About Covid

Is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the darling of liberal media and the first “Woke” democratic leader of western democracy, exposing the true nature of governmental authority? Left-wing, right-wing, liberal, conservative does not matter. The monopolistic power of government is intoxicating.

Trudeau’s confrontation with the truckers is state dictates versus freedom of choice. It is a battle between state dictates in the name of safety and security versus family, church, the community choice. It is a challenge to the “rule of law” versus responsive governance. It is a struggle between the independent workers versus the Zoom society. It’s a conflict that pits real-world human interaction against the splendors of online isolation; the experiences of working men and women versus the professional experts. It is a clash between the life experienced crew and the formula quoting, statistics referencing prognosticators. 

First, it was a lockdown, then social distancing, followed by mask mandates, its vaccine programs, and finally vaccine mandates and passports. All initiated to convince the public that only state power can make them safe and secure. They imply since the state can save, its leaders are the only legitimate source of authority. Proud men and women will not tolerate this level of arrogance for long.  

The leaders suggest that only the state is qualified to keep the population educated, healthy, safe, prosperous, and satisfied. Without their intervention, things will go badly. They believe that the family, the church, and the community, are all inadequate to secure human well-being.   

Trudeau claims he instituted the vaccine mandates to save and secure. Without him, the reasoning goes, the population would suffer and die from Covid. The political logic is inescapable. Leaders, like him, believe they alone are fit to govern and that there is only one path to follow. They insist that opponents to their mandates are just obstacles that need to be removed. 

Trucker Threat?

The truckers represent a threat to Trudeau. They have a social and political power that they independently achieved and garnered by their status amongst the working class. This socio-economic class represents the last bastion of self-sufficiency and independence in a modern society such as Canada and the United States. 

In today’s economy, the professional classes like; doctors, academics, teachers, and civil servants mostly derive their incomes and status from the state built on regulatory apparatus that only the state can provide and enforce. 

Then there is the underclass, who most often rely on the state for their needs. They pose no threat to the state’s legitimacy. The state prefers this existence and wishes all of society were that way. A population entirely reliant on the state would never question its growth of power and its legitimacy. 

The truckers are making a stand for the independent working class. They gather incomes from private sources, owners of small businesses, and employees of small and medium-sized enterprises. They are independent-minded that see self-sufficiency as a virtue and rely on themselves and their relationships with others rather than the state. They earn their money using a skill that others value and pay for their service. 

They represent a barrier to state authority because they do not need it. To them, the state frequently stands in their way. They see a problem and want to find a solution for themselves. They want to make up their minds about whether to take a vaccine, wear a mask, and assess their health-related risks. 

The modern state has waged a covert war against the independent. At every step, it seeks to regulate their business affairs, restrict their liberty, and confiscate their prosperity. There is always a purportedly good reason for this. But it contributes to a whittling away of their independence and strength. They are squeezed, squashed between the welfare-reliant underclass and the white-collar professionals who draw their wealth from the state. 

Justin Trudeau’s contempt for the truckers is genuine. He sees them as a challenge to his political future and an increasing scope and scale for governmental authority. His authority has waned during this crisis. His reaction to this protest will determine his political future. 

Trudeau and all bureaucrats derive their legitimacy from their positions of rulership. Whether elected or appointed, their number one prerogative becomes job security. Their jobs are reliant on convincing the population that they are necessary. Necessary to impose lockdowns and mandates? Necessary to freeze bank account and seize personal money based on charitable donation? Do government-enforced “necessary dictates” help or hinder? 

With no government-imposed mandates, would we have treated covid symptoms more effectively, would there be a lesser economic and social impact, would there have been fewer covid deaths? Would we have more freedoms? Yes!

There Is Nothing You Can Do About It!

Not many statements make me angrier than when the indoctrinated and misinformed bloviate “there is nothing you can do about it.” It is the standard narrative parroted when referencing treatment for covid symptoms. 

In late 2020, the Mexico City government initiative a covid treatment program. Based on worldwide positive results for ivermectin (IVM), the city handed out nearly 200,000 kits that included four IVM pills. The program started in December 2020 when hospitals were overwhelmed with COVID cases spiking.

Residents who tested positive and had mild to moderate symptoms received kits. The city distributed 83,000 kits resulting in a 52% reduction in hospital admissions among those who had received the kits. Later reports indicate a 70% reduction in hospital admissions.

The government spent just under 29.3 million pesos (USD 1.4 million) on 293,000 boxes of IVM. José Antonio Peña Merino, the head of the Mexico City government’s Digital Agency for Public Innovation (ADIP), said in May 2021, “the medical kit was a significant factor in the reduction of hospital admissions and course possible deaths.”  

The Mexico City Health Ministry stated that the distribution of ivermectin to COVID-19 patients was not an experiment. The IVC treatment program, initiated from the recommendation made by a group of expert pulmonologists and infectious disease doctors, took into account the stage of the pandemic, which had claimed the lives of many Mexicans. 

A medical abstract study “to measure the effect of Mexico City’s population-level intervention –an ivermectin-based Medical Kit, in hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic,” resulted in a significant reduction in hospitalizations among patients who received the ivermectin-based medical kit. The range of reduced hospitalization is 52%- 76% depending on model specification. The abstract concluded that “the study supports ivermectin-based interventions to assuage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health system.”

IVC is an approved medication in Mexico, used to treat many parasite infections and other diseases with great success. The ministry said that the distribution of ivermectin to ambulatory COVID-19 patients is safe, cheap, and without adverse effects. IVC is also an approved medication in the United States to treat parasite infections and other diseases. Mexico approved the distribution of ivermectin as an ambulatory treatment for covid. The United States does not. Warning! Crossing the Mexican border may reduce hospitalization from covid by 50% – 70%.

Everyone should watch the academy award-winning film Dallas Buyers Club to get a snapshot of the powers that the Fauci cabal uses to ensure the profits of Big Pharma at the expense of the ill. I’m not counting on today’s Hollywood heroes to produce a sequel to Dallas Buyers Club exposing the Fauci cabal’s covid pandemic abuse. Brain fog from mask-wearing and asbestosis from cowering in basements might be more appropriate themes.

Planned or Coincidence?

Disaster Capitalism is when catastrophic opportunities happen to advance economic and political agendas, a red flag of sorts. “Remember the Maine”, the sinking of the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, or Syrian gas attacks are examples of this nefarious tactic. Was the covid virus such an opportunistic event?

The medical/pharmaceutical elite was well-practiced and prepared for a pandemic disaster. The covid pandemic virus provided an opportunity that only comes along every so often. Psychopaths do not waste these occurrences. They react. Their 2019 simulated germ game produced the blueprint to control the narrative with an authoritative response.

A simulated practice for a pandemic virus took place in October 2019. The participants were: the Bloomberg-financed Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum, the CDC, the (American trained) head of the Chinese health authority, a former deputy director of the CIA, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and so on.

The practice run appeared to have established a protocol more concerned with suppressing truths and science from being exposed. The plan was to rely on social media and the mainstream media to control the narrative and censor the truth. They considered shutting down the Internet altogether. However, they were confident that Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google would only allow news in keeping with the narrative and flood the Internet with information that confirms their information while discrediting and blocking the truth.

Participants like Admiral Stephen Redd of the U.S. Public Health Service overreacted to criticism. Redd thought critics on social media should be monitored, by intelligence services, if they took issue with the narrative. One international minister suggested that dissidents should be arrested and brought to justice. The head of the Chinese health authority worried that suspicion might arise that the virus originated in a laboratory. Johnson & Johnson thought it prudent to suppress adverse results in vaccine trials to prevent public knowledge of poorly tested vaccines.

State of Emergency

Recently Kees Van Der Pijl’s authored a book, States of Emergency. Pijl makes an argument showing that the pandemic is a political emergency, not a medical one. Its purpose is to suppress populations and transition to an authoritarian state and social structure. He believes the Covid crisis advanced authoritarianism and overrode objections from the people and independent medical scientists. The pandemic provided a perfect cover to increase surveillance based on a medical emergency.

Kees Van Der Pijl concludes the attempt by the global elite to solidify their control was too ambitious to succeed. He states they did come close, especially in Australia, Canada, Austria, Italy, and Germany. He thinks that judiciary decisions and actions by governors such as Ron DeSantis in Florida blocked the authoritative take-over in the U.S.

Van Der Pijl’s book exposes regulatory agencies such as FDA, NIH, CDC, and the WHO as marketing departments for Big Pharma. He describes politicians taking their political stance based upon the sources of their campaign funds. He explains how universities and the media must function as Ministries of Propaganda for the ruling elites and their narratives. Fauci and Big Pharma control content in medical journals via grants to medical researchers, and the money the pharmaceutical industry provides have corrupted medical publications.

Van Der Pijl writes, “According to the former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, who had 20 years of experience, it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the published clinical research.” Pijl mentions that much of The Lancet‘s revenues, a prestigious British journal, come from billing pharmaceutical companies to reprint articles that support their products.

Many of the tin-foil-hat crowd preached that the free world willingness to shut down civil liberties with tyrannical lockdowns, mask, vaccine, passport mandates, and falsified pandemic and death data was suspicious and looked like a conspiracy. How far-flung are those tin-foil-hatters?

In a recent Rasmussen poll, 1,000 likely voters responded to a statement that characterized the FBI as a totalitarian tool; 46% of respondents said they agree, including 29% that strongly agreed. 30% of Democrats had an unfavorable view of the FBI. In the poll, 38% disagreed with the characterization.

One year after the January 6th protest and trespassing violations on federal property Uncle Joe Biden and his administration have continued to weaponize fear. Earlier in the year, the administration proposed several menacing actions in response to a 2021 event.

To secure our democracy, the Biden Justice Department will create a new federal unit, under the guise of the Patriot Act, focused on the threat of domestic terrorism. His new team will use a 222-year-old Act to arrest and prosecute terrorists. Then his ex-fellow Congressmen will summon the social media giant to the Congressional woodshed for some good old ass whooping.

Never mind that no post 9/11 surveillance measures under the USA PATRIOT have ever stopped an attack on the United States. No data shows that more spying by the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security would make the Capitol riot less likely to have occurred.

Considering the FBI has dispatches investigations to spy on groups like Concerned Women for America, the bar for domestic terrorism appears to be set very low. Then again, the group mistakenly stated its purpose as “to protect and promote Biblical values and Constitutional principles through prayer, education, and advocacy”.

January 6, 2021, the Capitol Complex was violated by rioters/demonstrators with no weapons; lawmakers and staff evacuated, property vandalized, police assaulted, and trespassers occupied the federal building for several hours. One woman trespasser was shot dead by Capitol Police, and five people died either shortly before, during, or following the event.

Thousand of people legally visited the Capital in 2020. However, when our self-indulgent politicians become inconvenienced and scared, those termites of our democracy will ignore justice and turn their backs to habeas corpus for the accused.

We have become calloused to tyranny. Our sense of liberty has hardened over the past few years. Covid mandates instituted by our governments have limited speech, movement, and personal choice. The First Amendment and Fourth Amendment rights violations under the Patriot Act have been abusive to many innocent people. Whistleblowers, like Edward Snowden, provided the documentation of such abuse.

Today, in the spirit of not letting a crisis go to waste, the Justice Department under Attorney General Merrick Garland is expanding the Patriot Act to include domestic terrorism. The man authorized the FBI to investigate parents who engaged in domestic terrorism behavior at local school board meetings. In other words, parents advocating for input into the curriculum of their local public schools are now, according to Garland, domestic terrorists.

As far back as the Truman administration in the 1950s, the Bureau of Investigation (renamed the FBI) was considered a threat to civil liberties. President Harry S. Truman put it, “We want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction.”

Under J. Edgar Hoover, it gathered intelligence on politicians and prominent public figures under the guise of fighting communism, causing fear and intimidation nationwide. Hoover had a special hatred for homosexuals and was well versed in coming-out parties. In the Hoover FBI, framing innocent people was common. Crossing the Director brought on character assassination and ruin.

In the 1960s, the FBI COINTEL program infiltrated and radicalized leftist groups to undermine them. This technique would surface again during the war on terror. The Justice Department’s new domestic terrorism unit evokes memories of the FBI COINTEL initiative. Their list of victims is impressive; the NAACP, MLK, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, the American Indian Movement, and the Weather Underground.

COINTEL tactics included discrediting targets through psychological warfare, smearing individuals/groups, using forged documents, planting false reports in the media, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, and illegal violence, including assassination. The FBI maintained files on many people. Such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, John Denver, John Lennon, Jane Fonda, Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Lou Costello, Sonny Bono, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, and Mickey Mantle, people they consider dangerous. Some for their political belief, and others in connection with antiwar activities.

Nothing has changed in almost a century under this playbook. In the 1990s, the FBI was murdering unarmed mothers with babies in their arms (Ruby Ridge) and burning religious zealots to death in their church (Waco). Agents infiltrated political organizations and encouraged their members to plot violent acts. Then when the plan (a product of FBI entrapment), federal agents swoop in to save the day.

Informants and undercover agents manipulate and recruit the feeble and the gullible into engaging in violence and other conduct to make them felons and discredit their causes. The result is a misconception by the general public believing that because of FBI vigilance, disaster would have struck. In reality, without the FBI provocation, the conspiracies would never have occurred in the first place.

The true nature of the FBI is not what Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, and Jeremy Sisto depict on the small screen, or is it the Efrem Zimbalist Jr version of the FBI. The assassination of Black Panther Party leaders like Fred Hampton, Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City Bombing, the Whitey Burger Cases, and the Hillary Clinton email investigation demonstrate the true corruptive nature of federal law enforcement power.

In 1942, a war on domestic terrorists began against the public. The FBI and federal authorities “domestic terrorist units” initiated and oversaw the arrest of innocent people of Japanese ancestry. The overzealous feds rounded up 120,000 Japanese Americans, executed warrantless searches of their property, forced the victims to relocate to internment camps.

This failed security plan is just one in the line of federal law enforcement debacles. Another FBI pre-crime theme, based on ancestry, religion, and physical appearance, was repurposed after 9/11. Pre-crime conviction and prosecution initiative against potential terrorism is tyranny, not liberty and justice.

Freedom of speech is another victim drown in the wake of federal law enforcement. In 1918, Eugene Debs made speeches against President Wilson’s administrative decision to enter World War I. Wilson responded by denouncing Debs as a traitor to his country. Then on June 16, 1918, Debs made a speech in Canton, Ohio, urging resistance to the military draft of World War I. Debs was arrested and charged with ten counts of sedition. Elimination of free speech is just one stop on the tyranny train.

I cringe to think of what sort of treatment they will employ against actual critics of their policies and narratives. The Reign of Terror and the guillotine beheading of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette may not be far off.

Treason is the only federal crime mentioned in the US Constitution. Terrorism is a vicious tactic of conflict in which one man’s domestic terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. The innocent Japanese in the 1940s, Muslims in the 2000s, and the un-trialed prisoners of the January 6th intrusion are victims of federal law enforcement overreach.

In conclusion, the solution is not more! We do not need a new federal law enforcement unit purposed to limit dissent. What we need to do is dismember the current ones. Move federal law enforcement, other than treason, back to the states.
