the Hitler method has always been aimed at a little move here and a little move there – FDR

Leave a comment

“I think a study of the map would be advisable for all of us because the Hitler method has always been aimed at a little move here and a little move there” – Franklin D. Roosevelt to reporters,

It is somewhat funny to hear FDR say that, because it is the same philosophy he was using with regard to accumulating power. A little more here and a little more there and pretty soon you go from a country with a Constitution that has enumerated the powers of the government to one where you have enumerated liberties.

So I think a study of the Constitution and historical documents would be advisable for all of us because the collectivist authoritarian method has always been aimed at a little move here and a little move there and pretty soon you are no longer in a free country, but a dictatorship, surveillance state.

Liberty Insurance, FOR Biden and the socialists

Leave a comment

The totalitarian left, whether socialists, communists, or fascists pretending to be anti-fascist, is coming closer to power in the United States today.  If Joe Biden wins in November and the democrat party takes the Senate and keeps the House, a laundry list of items will be immediately on the agenda:

  • Eliminating the filibuster. Sen. Schumer has already stated eliminating it is on the table.  This will turn the Senate into the House without any need for consensus. and provide the opportunity for all kinds of mischief, including the following.
  • Giving citizenship to around 20 million people who have entered the country illegally, after blocking all President Trump’s attempts to fix the issue over his first term.
  • Packing the Supreme Court by adding additional seats.

Fauci takes off mask at Nats game and then lies about it

Leave a comment

Fauci brazenly lies again.  He has no drink in his hand, is sitting there laughing and watching. Look at the pictures, and then see how he excused it.

“I had my mask around my chin I had taken it down.  I was totally dehydrated and I was drinking water trying to re-rehydrate myself and by the way I was negative Covid literally the day before so I guess people want to make a big event. I wear a mask all the time when I’m outside. To pull it down to take some sips Of water and put it back up again I guess if people wanna make something about that they can. “

Don’t believe your lying eyes is what he’s saying, one rule for thee, another for me.

Hate speech Is used to Shut You up

Leave a comment

“Hate speech” is a term used by fascists, socialists, communists and other authoritarians to shut people up – when they can’t win an argument that involves liberty vs control, they want people to be shutdown and shut up. It is a slippery, subjective concept that allows those defining it to silence those with whom they disagree.

Always look to see who the arbiter of what is “hate speech” and you’ll see who will benefit from it in terms of wealth and power.

Disgusting.

Fauci: Public health officials lied about masks

Leave a comment

Interesting, now Fauci is admitting that that public health officials lied about the effectiveness of masks to preserve supplies for first responders. Of course anyone with any common sense knew they were lying about it earlier this year. Of course, anyone with any common sense knew they were lying about it earlier this year.

TheHill: “[Fauci] also acknowledged that masks were initially not recommended to the general public so that first responders wouldn’t feel the strain of a shortage of PPE. [Fauci] explained that public health experts “were concerned the public health
community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply.”

The CDC, WHO, and “officials” have been lying from the start.  It is just nice (well, maybe not nice, but validating) to hear Fauci say what everyone with above a room temp IQ knew when the surgeon general and all the health officials were saying (among other things), “masks aren’t effective” and then 6-8 weeks later say they are.  It wasn’t a question of new data, it was a question of self-serving lying by public officials which undoubtedly cost people their lives.

So, in short, “Fauci lied, people died.”

One wonders how much they were they also lying about in the Coronavirus Task Force meetings to the VP, President etc?

Who orchestrated this lie? Will there be hearings?

Why did the CDC and others lie about it? Why politicize it by lying?

Raising awareness vs doing something

Leave a comment

How about all these people trying to “raise awareness” actually DO something instead of “advocating” for someone else to do something?   Does anyone really think that there are more than 50 people in the USA who are not “aware” and need to have their “awareness raised”?  Stop “advocating” and do something positive yourself.  Go build a house for people with Habit for Humanity.  Go get a job and work and then donate the proceeds to the people who need it.  Go plant a garden (Mike Bloomberg says it is easy) and donate the food you grow to people who need it.  Go buy a gun and protect people. Go help clean up stores and property damaged by riots.  Go back to school, get an MD and help people in need with their medical needs.  Get a JD and represent these people in court.  Go to the police academy and become an officer so you can do it right. Get an accounting degree, engineering or something like that and use it to help. People need to get off their behinds and out from behind the keyboard, off instagram, Facebook, twitter etc, and actually do something instead of sitting around demanding someone else do something. 

Stop accepting that more horrendous incidents like “George Floyd” will happen, get out from behind the keyboard and do something. Stop senseless death like that by taking action, accepting the challenge and fixing things instead of expecting “someone else” to do so.

Democrat party operative advocates politicizing covid

Leave a comment

As he did with the 2008 crisis, former Democrat Congressman and Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel says: “Let’s make sure this crisis doesn’t go to waste”:

“Never allow a good crisis go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do the things you once thought were impossible.”

… All of this is to say, again, that Washington needs to make sure this crisis doesn’t go to waste. 

( https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/25/lets-make-sure-this-crisis-doesnt-go-waste/ )

Later this year and next year, one must remember that again, Democrat Party operatives are advocating the politicization of the coronavirus “to do the things you once thought were impossible.”

Instead of advocating working together, the Democrat Party views this as a political opportunity. As a way to limit freedom and increase government control.

Later when you hear the charge that the Republican party was the one who politicized the virus and science remember that the WaPo, the oligarch who owns the Washington Post, Democrat operatives, Fauci, and the rest of the Washington insiders advocated to ignore the science and politicize the virus. No one in official Washington has condemned the politicization of science nor stated that we should work together. Instead, they too view this is an opportunity, not something to be fixed.

Beware the people trying to add more to government spending that is related to the virus, they are looters, just on a larger scale than those looting stores.

Bucknell professor wishes death on rush limbaugh

Leave a comment

A letter to Bucknell President Bravman:

Dear President Bravman,
I am completely disgusted to read that “A professor at Bucknell University tweeted out last week that he wished death on Rush Limbaugh,”(https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-wishes-death-on-rush-limbaugh-attacks-republicans-on-social-media/ ) particularly after insinuating that a US House of Representatives member should be hanged last year.  
First as an alumni, seeing Bucknell’s name in the context of Michael Drexler wishing death on someone in a news article that is circulated worldwide is deeply disturbing.  Does anyone, let alone a professional, want to have their alma mater brought up in such a manner?  Does Bucknell have plans to prevent such events in the future?  Do professors have any standards that they must follow, like morality clauses in professional athlete contracts, so as to avoid painting the University in a bad light?  When you see patterns of public behavior of a person wishing death on people, there should be a concern on how it reflects upon the institution and professors should, frankly, have better judgement than to do so without the need of contract terms.
A second concern is, of course, about current students and faculty at Bucknell.  If someone is publicly wishing death to at least several people, I would be concerned about their stability as it relates to on-campus violence against people with whom Drexler disagrees whether they are students, faculty, administrators, or even alumni.  What is Bucknell doing in order to promote a safe campus environment that is open to viewpoints, particularly those that are anti-fascist, anti-communist, anti-socialist,  – in short anti-authoritarian – and pro-liberty?  I am concerned that someone wishing death on people and publicly calling Professor Riley (no relation) a “white supremacist skinhead” (from the article) might be temperamentally unfit to be educating students safely.  
I have to say that during my four years at Bucknell, not only did none of my professors ever wish death upon anyone or call students or other professors names, neither did the swim coaches, administrators, staff or anyone else with whom I interacted. The head swim coach (Dick Russell)  insisted that when we went to swim meets,  both home and away, we “look neat and clean” (nice shirt, (often) ties, no scruffiness) because we were “representing Bucknell”.  Professors today should have as much sense as he did.  Which leads to my next question.

How lax are the current hiring standards that Bucknell is hiring and promoting to tenured professor people who are immature and immorally evil that they would wish death on someone in a public forum where they are associated with Bucknell?  Does Bucknell do anything to promote tolerance among faculty members and promote mental health of faculty members who are advocating violence among sitting members of Congress, calling other faculty members vile names and wishing death on public figures?
Seeing some of the anti-free speech protests on campus recently makes me concerned about the direction the University has taken, but I do commend the school for standing up for free speech such as allowing Heather Mac Donald to speak last year.
A University should be about civil discourse, not vile names, threats and the like whether or not you disagree with someone or not.
Thanks,

Freedom

saying that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.

“Ultimately, saying that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. Or that you don’t care about freedom of the press because you don’t like to read. Or that you don’t care about freedom of religion because you don’t believe in God. Or that you don’t care about the freedom to peaceably assemble because you’re a lazy, antisocial agoraphobe. Just because this or that freedom might not have meaning to you today doesn’t mean that it doesn’t or won’t have meaning tomorrow, to you, or to your neighbor – or to the crowds of principled dissidents I was following on my phone who were protesting halfway across the planet, hoping to gain just a fraction of the freedom that my country was busily dismantling.”
