From Democracy to Dictatorship

September 18, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

Something we could learn from inter-war Europe is that democracy led to dictatorship. Put differently, the inability to make it work, or the deliberate undermining of its mechanisms, moved the people from a government at least principally designed to answer to the people into one where the people demanded a strong enough excuse to foment … Read more

Why are We Willingly Losing Our Country?

April 9, 2024

by Op-Ed

While China and Iran continue to wage an indirect war against the United States of America, they wait and watch. Can it be true? Will the United States crumble from within so that they can win the war against America without waging World War III?

November 2, 2023

by Op-Ed

We have arrived at the dystopian future depicted in the 2005 film V for Vendetta, which is no future at all. Set in the year 2020, V for Vendetta (written and produced by the Wachowskis) provides an eerie glimpse into a parallel universe in which a government-engineered virus wreaks havoc on the world. Capitalizing on the people’s … Read more

The Dangerous Trend Toward Uniformity of Opinion and Perception

October 19, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

One of my favorite lines from something I wrote a few years back is that to a Democrat, Diversity is a room full of people who look different but think the same. That it is acceptable to be colorblind if everyone agrees with you on everything, without exception.

Aaron Day on CBDC and The Dangers of Currency Control

October 14, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

If you are not familiar with Aaron Day, he’s a serial entrepreneur who is running for President. And while that may look like a long shot, he’s still got a lot of critically important knowledge to share that is worth our time ad attention.

QR Code Stasi

September 26, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

The so-called pandemic was a test, and a lot of Americans failed. From top to bottom, rights were sacrificed to medical tyranny over a global act of fraud. A fraud that was increasingly visible when the first few weeks of published COVID data went public.

The Ratchet Effect and the Erosion of Liberty

August 24, 2023

by Op-Ed

The Constitution “is not a suicide pact,” said Justice Arthur Goldberg in the court’s opinion in the 1963 Supreme Court case of Kennedy v. Mendoza-Martinez. His statement highlights a fundamental truth: in times of crisis, governments often feel compelled to take extraordinary measures to protect their citizens and maintain order. However, this desire to act swiftly and … Read more

The State Protects Itself While Crime against Ordinary People Surges

August 20, 2023

by Op-Ed

In all the media and regime frenzy over the Janaury 6 riots and the Pentagon Leaker in recent months, it is interesting to examine the contrast between how the regime treats “crimes” against its own interests and real crime committed against ordinary private citizens. Witness, for example, how the Biden administration and corporate media have treated the January … Read more

July 21, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

We have another incident that rings of NH Gov. Chris Sununu’s Amen moment, where nine individuals in a crowd were arrested for disrupting a public meeting. There was no disruption, and charges had to be dropped. Compare that to the arrests of three residents of Moscow, Idaho.

It is Now Widely Accepted That You Were Right About Lockdowns

July 1, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Remember that time at COVID Narrative Camp when you said, I don’t think lockdowns are a good idea, especially for kids with little or no signs of infection or transmission of the Wuhan Flu? That they’d be worse than any risk of COVID.

The Left Redux

June 20, 2023

by Op-Ed

Cancel culture and censorship are not about fairness or justice. They are the opposite of protecting yourself from the predations of the powerful. They are not about protecting minorities from abuse or offense. Rather, these things, cancel culture and censorship, are about accumulating power for the elite.

Government’s Shove to EVs IS About Control – Controlling Us

May 28, 2023May 28, 2023

by Skip

Republicans are more prone to advocate for Free Markets, Libertarians more so, and Democrats not at all. Yes, Republicans are sometimes better than Democrats, but they always seem to want Government to have a hand in things. That we are not able to decide for ourselves.

Demand Statesmen not Bloodsucking Insects

As Americans, we picture representative government through the lens of controlled history, unable to call for a replay to see through the deception that rewriters of history have caused.

Does “Bill Gates” Know He is Now “The Government’s” Bitch?

February 16, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Most of the progressives fomenting the Marxist revolution in America, or anywhere for that matter, understand what it is they are doing. They just assume the new world order will grant them carte blanche or, at the very least, have a use for them. Not true.

The Armenian Genocide was not a mistake.
Holodomor was not a mistake.
The Final Solution was not a mistake.
The Great Leap Forward was not a mistake.
The Killing Fields were not a mistake.

Is Anyone Interested in Offering Amnesty to COVID Tyrants?

November 1, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

Tim Meads has a piece at The Daily Wire about a writer for The Atlantic who is asking for a free pass. On what? All that unnecessary COVID tyranny we had to endure. She’d like a “Pandemic Amnesty.”

If Old People Who Survived Progressive Public Health and Vaccine Policy Were Euthanized We’d Save Money

September 6, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

COVID policy did a number on the elderly populations of most countries. Instead of early treatment or any prophylaxis (masks and isolation were neither), the default was to wait until they got sick and then blame other people if they died. It looks like a deliberate cull, and this adds meat to those bones.

July 15, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

In February of 2022, after much consideration, gnashing of teeth, and soul-searching (that’s sarcasm), the State of New York imposed a draconian quarantine rule upon the people of the Empire State, ‘cuz COVID! Try not to act surprised. It is unconstitutional.

Tyranny, COVID Factions, ‘The War,’ and What’s Next?

July 14, 2022July 13, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

The Left’s real goal has always been Civil War and Martial law. Revolution is the end-game of all progressive policy and action exists to perpetuate destruction. The past two years look like a mad rush to get there.
