A few words on the Democrat Party censorship policies

Posted on by

One of the defining aspects of a totalitarian state, be it Islamic or communist, is that the state takes unto itself the power to determine what is the truth, to punish all those who do not act in the manner that they fully accept that the state’s truth is the truth, and that the state will also make sure that what must be believed as the truth, is actually a massive lie.

The state will achieve this quite easily. They will empower each of us to be judge, jury and even on occasion, executioner towards anyone we see defying the state’s truth. In Islamic states, its blasphemy, and in communist states, heresy, or a variety of other names. My favorite is what the father of a friend of this website was called by the communists in Czechoslovakia. “A leader of the people against the people”.

Currently of course, it would be hate speech in one of its many semantically tightly rammed manifestations. Climate denial, hate speech. Just for one example. Even though the science is clear that there is no AGW taking place and if anything, the Earth is cooling. No questioning the vaccine narratives of course, and the list grows with each issue, and even most of the issues themselves are lies, let alone the solutions.

Earlier today I saw a video in a tweet by Paul Joseph Watson I deeply regret not downloading in time to save it. It was of a pregnant woman shopping and a man in a very effeminate voice but quivering with a degree of sanctimony I thought was only possible from a Canadian, accused her of killing his grandparents because she was in the store without wearing a mask.

UPDATE: The video is still up on Canadian reporter, Joe Warmington’s account and here it is:

https://twitter.com/joe_warmington/status/1390434207869161485?s=19

He used every trope he could with maximal moral outrage to humiliate a pregnant woman in public who was shopping; and felt that breathing freely was better for her health than wearing a surgical mask.

This was a brilliant example of how a totalitarian state manages to get the general public to act as its thugs and enforce official truth. In Islam this often results in death. if a person being accused of blasphemy, especially a non-muslim, can be accused in a way that other locals can accept as possibly true, it can be justification for her murder on the spot. Sometimes by multiple means. And I say “her” because in the stories I have read, its usually a she that gets murdered in this way. (Somehow I doubt there will be any blowback on this use of pronouns)

I am thinking in particular about a mob justice case where an Afghan woman was accused of blasphemy by a local imam for turning down his advances, and was thrown off a roof, set on fire, then drowned in some sort of muddy embankment. I am trying to find the old videos of that, but it gets increasingly hard to find these things. In the video below, a woman is whipped and stoned in Afghanistan for allegedly having an affair. Which in islam, can mean she was raped.

Perhaps I will add the material on the women killed a few times over in Afghanistan. But I doubt too many people disbelieve it to the point where they need to see the proof these days.

All this though really is about an indirect answer to a question about restricting social media posts by the current US administration, whoever the leader of it may be, and the woman who is most certainly the voice of it.

Apparently, 1st amendment rights don’t apply to those who do not accept the official narrative of the current regime as truth.

For a simpler version of the above video, please hear Anthony Hopkins‘ Richard Burton’s speech below. Especially at 1:50. Truth is what the party says it is. And now we know which party that is.

Looking at the methods of creating a totalitarian state from another angle

Posted on by

For those of you familiar with Stephen Coughlin’s work, imagine looking at much of his writing on the tactics and strategy of the left as a planet, and approaching that same planet from another angle of entry.

 

Maxime Bernier speaks with Pastor Artur with commentary by Xanthippa Socrates

Posted on by

Video: Maxime Bernier interviews Arthur Powlowsky, the expat Polish pastor who has exorcized police and authorities on two occasions we know of, out of his Church like a priest expelling demons.

The following article is by Xanthippa Socrates who escaped Soviet communism with her family as a teenager.

Pastor Pawlowski interviewed by Maxime.  When my husband and I watched it, especially the bits about how the lockdowns and related policies are designed to raise the cost of living and eliminate all businesses not large enough to be easily controlled by /colluding with the government, and why this is a necessary pre-condition to a totalitarian rule – my husband said this was the first person apart from myself who explains it in exactly these terms.
Side note (mine, not the good pastors)  following the Spanish flu, these measures were enacted in Germany, without which the rise of fascism would not have been possible.
The Treaty of Versailles was a similar vector in pre war Germany to money printing, as the virus is now. To devalue currency and make the cost of living more expensive.  But, this could still be overcome if there are strong small to medium sized businesses Because in the face of this inflation, people will naturally return to bartering and exchanging goods, circumventing the devalued currency.  But, if all small and medium sized businesses are gone – even small farms – that becomes impossible, as people cannot be paid in goods or trade.  They are completely reliant on the devalued currency once only huge corporations exist as employers and places of trade, and are in lock step with the government.
In Czechoslovakia, following the Communist takeover, there were currency devaluations, where new money was issued and you had a period of time to exchange old money for new, after which the old money was no longer legal currency. But the new money was worth only a fraction of what the old money was.  Here and now, we are devaluing currency by over-spending and printing money on a medical emergency due to a virus that has roughly 0.003% mortality, if it is treated early, for about $30 of commonly available medication per patient.  Yet most MDs don’t know about it, and even when they do, they are legally prevented from prescribing it.  And pharmacists are threatened with fines/closure if they fill any prescription that slips through.
When, in history, have legislators forbidden MDs from prescribing, and pharmacists from filling, medications that are cheap, tested and safer than Tylenol?
When, in the history of modern medicine, did MDs ever not even attempt early treatment of an illness?
When, in the history of modern medicine, did MDs withhold medical care until their patient became so ill, they had to be hospitalized?
When?
Why now?
The Reset – as per UN, EU, Trudeau and the rest of our ruling elite. “This pandemic gives us a chance to re-build our society in a ‘more sustainable’ way.”
Meaning, you will become impoverished.
Meat – except for the most processed forms which contain only traces of meat – will become a luxury that only the elites will be able to enjoy on a regular basis.  Red meat will become expensive and then disappear first, then slowly everything else.  Eventually, even eggs and other forms of animal protein will rise in price:  animal protein-deficient diet leads to a weaker population.  You will spend all your energy trying to feed your family, buy toilet paper, etc – no time for politics or any independent thought.
Biden just said that people should be limited to 4 lb of red meat per person per year – to be more sustainable and to battle climate change.
Welcome to totalitarian tyranny….with new and enhanced means of surveillance.
Recently, there was an anti-lockdown protest (in small town Ontario, I think).  Some neighbours complained to the police, wanting the protest to be shut down.  The police told them that since the protest was peaceful, their presence might escalate things, so they will not shut it down.  But they have taken pictures of everyone at the protest and the good citizens should help the police identify each and every one of them!
If that does not freeze your blood, I do not know what will!
Feeling righteous and superior is all it takes for a neighbour to inform on a neighbour:  it gives the powerless power over their neighbours, motivating them to obey and to enforce the oppression.  Without these ‘good citizens’, totalitarianism could not exist.
I escaped it once – and it has followed me.  Now, there is nowhere left to escape to.
That is why I am having a bit of a nervous break down…
Tucker Carlson Today from 4/24/21 Very powerful interview on how to combat all this, [so far I cannot find a video of this. Anyone out there that has one, please post to comments so I can add to this post Ed.]  and why we should all read the US Declaration of Independence – an important complement to the good pastor’s interview.  Pay special attention to the ‘duty’ aspect…
Alexandra
PS:  We now have empirical evidence that the more severe the lockdowns are, the higher the mortality rate from COVID (or, should I say The Bill Gates virus, since he is one of the major investors in the Wuhan Virology Institute, and has huge investments in the manufacture of vaccines in general) is.  Just look at the statistics from Nicaragua versus both of its neighbouring countries.
At the beginning, caution was understandable.  But now, we have factual evidence that lockdowns worsen the situation.  Just look around:  in Ontario the more severe and longer lasting the lockdowns, the more filled up the hospitals become – the existing statistics make the causality vector very clear.
And yet, the lockdowns are becoming more draconian, more and more strictly enforced.

MUST SEE: Tucker details what “equity” actually means and takes it on

Posted on by

Please consider adding Tucker’s entire segment on “equity” to the previous post about the Frankfurt School

Tucker loses the plot at 8:20 though. While his predictions may be true, but they won’t be, he seems to not get that “equity” is a prime tool for a communist revolution and has nothing to do with race whatsoever. Once the system has been brought down, it will all be ideological equity put in play. In fact it is now. A black conservative will still be called a “White Supremacist” in order to keep them away from influence, and a white communist will be allowed to break laws and use the “N” word so long as he works for the revolution.

MUST WATCH: Excellent summary of how the Frankfurt School’s ideas are destroying the West

Add to this Bill Whittle’s amazing video from 15 years ago or so, Stephen Coughlin’s brilliant paper on Leftist tactics, and the simple phrases: “With the left, the point is never the point. The Revolution is ALWAYS the point, and that the only metric that is actually in play today is that if it assists the revolution it is to be lauded, encouraged, and amplified. Even if the actions are illegal. But if it is a counter-revolutionary idea, it is to be crushed, accused of racism, white supremacy or any other attack term whether it applies or not. Or even if the actions and words are legal. In fact its better if it is, because the revolution requires an overhaul of the system, making illegal what is central to our constitutional freedoms, and making legal the things which we find anathema. Freedom of speech must be crushed, but the state, mutilating and sterilizing children too young to have a beer or get a tattoo, without their parents knowledge or consent in the name of transgender rights, that’s to be made immutable. In fact its now a crime to try and talk a child out of these procedures under the new deceptively named, “conversion therapy” ban.

Youtube has now for ‘some reason’, age restricted the Bill Whittle video. This probably means you have to sign in to see it, which means Google has to know who watches it. This video was fine for over a decade on Youtube without any restrictions. If this isn’t Orwell, what is. Below, the same video with no need to announce yourself as a counter-revolutionary before you watch it.

Gad Saad gives the data points illustrating the path of dialectic negation

Posted on by

For me, item 14 is the most important because it is the one item where they tip their hand that this is not about race or sex or any other kind of identity, but is about a very specific method of preplanned selective enforcement of pseudo-rules in a dialectic process of negation of all Western thought and forcing the culture and the nation ever leftwards.

Compare and contrast rules 12, and 14 to see this in perfect relief.

12: It is racist to criticize a non-white celebrity

14: It is racist to celebrate or endorse a non-white conservative or non leftist such as Thomas Sowell or Candice Owens.

Boston Public Schools Will Suspend Advanced Classes Because Too Many Students In Them Are White Or Asian

Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders will not be accepted into advanced classes in Boston for the next year because a majority of students in those classes are white or Asian.

GBH News reported that the selective program, called Advanced Work Classes, will suspend enrollment in part because of the pandemic but also because of “concerns about equity.”

The school district analyzed the demographics of the program and found that “more than 70 percent of students enrolled in the program were white and Asian, even though nearly 80 percent of all Boston public school students are Hispanic and Black,” GBH reported.

“There’s been a lot of inequities that have been brought to the light in the pandemic that we have to address,” Superintendent Brenda Cassellius told the outlet. “There’s a lot of work we have to do in the district to be antiracist and have policies where all of our students have a fair shot at an equitable and excellent education.”

To borrow a gag from an episode of South Park, it appears the Biden administration will solve the immigration crisis by making the US a worse place to live than all the places people are coming from.

Banks and the new fascism

Posted on by

There are many who read this site that have a solid understanding of the actual meaning of fascism, as opposed to merely referring to a group you don’t like as ANFINO does, or just referring to use of force against people who are no threat to anyone except in an ideological sense. I hope you will weigh in on these four items and explain how this is, or is not actually fascism.

1. Pro-Trump Covfefe Coffee Brand Canceled by Chase Bank

Covfefe Coffee, founded in 2018, brands itself as “Coffee For Deplorables By Deplorables.” The company, which says their goal is to “provide proud to Americans access to world-class coffee without having to fund your political and cultural opponents,” was informed via email on Wednesday that they would no longer be able to use their payment processing service because payments were “for one or more of the activities prohibited by” their terms of service.

“Unfortunately, you will no longer be able to use WePay Payments to accept additional payments,” the email continued. “Any pending payments will be canceled and you won’t be able to withdraw funds at this time.”

Back in the old days this would be both theft, and fraud on the part of Chase Bank.

2. Then we have these two clips from last week:

And if we dip into the past slightly…

3. Patreon bans Robert Spencer, claims Mastercard made them do it

4. Shopify Permanently Bans Trump’s Official Online Stores

Hard to say exactly why Shopify banned all trump stores. Could it be because President Trump tried to end slave labour camps in China by bringing jobs back to the USA where working conditions are the best? Or certainly better than a Uighur slave labour camp. One thing is fore sure. Its not cause of his stance on Global Warming since the owner of Spotify’s new Rockcliffe Park house has electrically heated walkways and driveways. That has to be worth a few Carbon credits and Gore’s CO2 casinos.

And once we open up that can-o-worms we find an enormous number of once private companies that have denied service to people who’s views interfered with the neo-Marxist agenda. As I understand it, that is fascism.

I look forward to any discussion on that definition.
