Ten Steps to Totalitarianism

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 4/13/2022 4:28:55 AM

Does anybody still think totalitarianism can't happen here? Ask yourself how many of these steps we've already galloped past. (1) Destruction of Religion Any belief in a higher power is threatening to the State. If there is a "higher law" that takes precedence over government orders, then personal morality is a justifiable reason for disobeying the State. (snip) (2) Gun Confiscation Eminent English jurist William Blackstone succinctly observed: "Free men have arms; slaves do not." (snip) That Democrats have made gun control and confiscation one of their most pressing issues says everything about the direction we're heading. (3) Control over Energy

Gun control is where it all ends. The more that politicians attempt gun control the bigger the arsenals in our homes get. We have been listening to their nonsense since Slick Willie's assault weapons ban through Obola and Holder's Fast & Furious boondoggle. It's getting tiresome so just stop it.

Before long this monster the left has created will begin to affect our betters as well. Living in the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard or a basement in Delaware wont save you.

Add control over elections. The left controls everything in this country. The Republican Party will not use power even when elected.

We, the American people are not "there" yet! If there is God's will, then there is God's way! The silent majority is beginning to fight for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (our God-given rights). President Trump started the "swamp" fight and will continue the fight with we, the American people! The plot thickens for continued freedom! GO America!

Missed a big one: Control of the food supply On a bit of a side note the news from Shanghai regarding the confiscation of pets brought back memories of what one of Slobodan Milosevic's victims shared with me. First they came for the dogs, then they came for the guns, then they came for the men, then they came for her.

Everyone has a recipe with ten steps to totalitarianism. We all know "it can't happen here" in the land that is the global "Leader of the Free World", looking for places to install "democracy" and build a nation in a culture that is foreign and hostile to any form of liberty. We need to fight for Ukrainian democracy...but let's not talk about our own, beginning with the "stolen elections", the J6 political prisoners, or the destruction of several cities by "mostly peaceful" rioters. Then there was the general acceptance of the COVID dictatorship, enabled by our Federal government and enforced by citizens, and the creation of today's crushing inflation by passing reckless stimulus and other bills amounting to TRILLIONS. Thank goodness we have that excellent vaccine for the money.

Ten steps to Totalitarianism? We are already there. How do we correct it? I fear this is unfixable. The people controlling Washington are anonymous, unknown, firmly entrenched, in hiding, and untouchable. Turning out our elected officials is the equivalent of getting rid of the henchmen but leaving those in charge still in power.

Dr. Paul Elias Alexander was a well credentialed, internationally known epidemiologist invited by Trump administration officials to be part of the COVID 19 response team at the White House in April of 2020. He packed up his family, leaving a secure and prominent position in Canada to move to Washington, DC. But then he criticized the public health mandates by Drs. Fauci, Collins, and Birx and showed them research that proved they were wrong about lockdowns, school closings, masking, and social distancing. Following that, he was silenced, harassed and then fired.

It looks like the public isn't buying Joe Biden's argument that Vlad Putin is the guy responsible for all the inflation out there. Take a gander at his latest poll numbers: President Joe Biden’s approval rating sank to a new low of 33%, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. The April poll found 33% of voters approved of Biden’s handling as president, while 54% disapproved. Broken down by party lines, Republicans disapprove 93-3%. Democrats approve 76-12%. More than half of Independent voters disapprove of the 46th president’s handling, with only 26% offering approval.

Tony Dungy, the first black coach ever to win a Super Bowl, might have escaped notice this week had he merely supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Responsible Fatherhood Initiative.” His real sin was to explain why. Dungy, a Christian father or eleven, recounted a conversation he had years back with the Rev. Abe Brown about Brown’s prison ministry. At Brown’s request, Dungy accompanied him to prison. Expecting to find hardened criminals, Dungy found instead “19- and 20- and 21-year-old kids who looked like my boys.” When Dungy asked what accounted for the young men’s incarceration, Brown told him, “(snip) Ninety-five percent of these boys did not grow up with their dad.”

It was in this month, one hundred and fifty-seven years ago, that the Civil War ended. (snip) the 880,000, or higher, who went out to fight under the Stars and Bars were close to being all that was available to carry on Southern culture… and roughly one-third -- quite possibly more -- did not come back fit enough, or did not come back at all. Essentially, an intermediate generation came close to being wiped out (snip) This, more than anything else, more than racism -- though racism does exist in the South, as elsewhere -- explains why it will be impossible to wring Neo-Confederate sympathies out of many Southerners.

Pope Francis is at it again. Although it is traditional for papal podiums to depict the crucifix, during his recent visit to the island of Malta, Pope Francis ditched the cross lest he offend Muslim migrants. As the archdiocese of Malta openly admitted, “The podium will not be adorned with a crucifix, given that the majority of migrants are Muslim.” Instead, the podium backdrop used by Francis consisted of recycled plastic bottles with red blobs meant to highlight the two primary reasons Francis was visiting Malta -- to defend migrants and the environment:

Accepting the fake claims of a massacre is as bad as or even worse than denying a real one. (snip) The Russian military left Bucha, Ukraine on March 30, 2022.

Very often, when companies go woke, it turns out that the wokeness is a cover for changing market forces. That is, they're not alienating traditional demographics; they're reflecting that their money is coming from new demographics. When it comes to Hollywood and the NBA, for example, the big bucks are coming from China, not America. And when it comes to Disney, the main profit center isn't children; it's young adults who, Peter Pan–like, refuse to grow up. The brilliant Daniel Greenfield makes this point in an article entitled "Disney's Business Model is Turning Kids into Dysfunctional Adults: Its customer base isn't kids. It's messed up adults."

The Biden administration on Thursday unveiled hundreds of strategies across several federal agencies aimed at addressing what it says is racial and gender inequity in the federal government. A senior administration official said the initiative is the first major assessment of how government policies have allowed “inequality to fester,” including ways they said the government has blocked underserved communities from government services. “This is about getting under the hood in every agency,” the official said. The plan outlines more than 300 different strategies and commitments by more than 90 federal agencies, including the Justice, Defense, Energy and Labor departments. For example, the Justice Department will offer more language-accessible programs

The Russian people know little about Putin’s war on Ukraine because Putin has blocked their access to the truth, substituting propaganda and lies. Years ago, pundits assumed the internet would open a new era of democracy, giving everyone access to the truth. But dictators like Putin and demagogues like Trump have demonstrated how naive that assumption was. At least the US responded to Trump’s lies. Trump had 88 million Twitter followers before Twitter took him off its platform – just two days after the attack on the Capitol, which he provoked, in part, with his tweets. (Trump’s social media accounts were also suspended on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch and TikTok

President Joe Biden’s latest speech, it appears, was one for the birds. At least it seemed that way, as the somewhat hapless commander-in-chief gave what was meant to be a rousing speech and pep rally in Iowa on Tuesday. It was difficult to miss what appeared to be the projectile of avian fecal matter that scored a direct hit on the president’s left lapel. Although, after much mockery, the White House has given clarification on the supposed flying mystery substance that many aren’t buying.
