The Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic thrust on America and the
world by a totalitarian Chinese Communist government is a real fact even if
Globalists, Dem-Marxists and the Leftist MSM propaganda machines spout a
contrary lie.
That Chinese pandemic has had a chilling effect on the
American way of life. For Americans willing to open their eyes a fortunate
effect is the full display of how a Dem Party dominated U.S. government will
literally rule with despotism ignoring the U.S. Constitution.
Then there is President Trump. A man who has trusted
bureaucrats way too much from the very beginning of his first term in Office. Trump
has been proven to me a man of good intentions for Americans yet duped by
RINOs, GOP Globalists and government bureaucrats intent on Globalist agendas
more than American Liberty and Patriotism.
I have no idea how Trump will pull a team of Americans to
correct past badly placed trust. BUT I DO KNOW Trump is at least a stall stop
gap if reelected to another 4 years as President. A Dem President will run
America despotically just as Dem Governors have operated during this Chinese
perpetrated Pandemic virus exploited toward American ruination and potential
submission to a ChiCom dominated New World Order.
I FOR ONE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO A ChiCom NWO in my AMERICA!
Justin Smith has two recent submissions to this Blog reflecting
growing American frustration with the Federal and State government ignoring the
U.S. Constitution and the spirit of
the Declaration of Independence that
freed Americans from past foreign despotism.

Conscience Asks 'Is It Right'?
The Darkest Time In American History
By Justin O. Smith

"And on some positions,
Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it
politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the
question 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must do it because
Conscience tells him it is right." ~ Martin Luther King,
January 14th 1968, Santa Rita, CA
When will Americans stop supporting those very men and women
in Congress, from both sides of the political aisle, and this administration
that are America's very Destroyers?
Charles
Montesquieu, famous philosopher and theorist, noted in 1748 that for a despotism
to survive and thrive, fear must be present. A despot must not allow his
subjects to sense him loosening his grip on power, or they will pounce and take
him down, so he must keep them in fear of his power and previously displayed
tendency to use force, for his power over them to last.
Why is America currently allowing despotic governments their
way, by and large? As I see many protesters in many states demanding the states
reopen, I can only hope this rejuvenates the population to once again create a
majority of liberty-loving, responsible, courageous "give me liberty or give me death"
people.
It is past time for America's patriots to spill the blood of
her tyrant's on the Tree of Liberty and to nullify the very governments that
have nullified our rights.
Of late, I have had a great bit of time to consider many
things about this nation, this exceptional country called "America",
that has given me so many fond memories from my childhood, such as trips the
family made to Monticello and Mt Vernon, the homes of Thomas Jefferson and
George Washington. I could probably regale many with tales of the culture of
rugged people who founded this America we love so well, but somewhere along the
way, my appetite for storytelling has disappeared during the post-TARP journey
most of us have made through this American Oblivion after 2008, as the
mindless, soulless economic vampires mandate that no one is too big to fail and
the Federal Reserve acts like the florist in the Little Shop of Horrors,
cooperating with career liars and moneychangers.
America is being destroyed by men and women in Congress, on
both sides of the aisle, and the Trump administration, in front of the reopen
calls and a hard push for more stimulus and in the wake of the COVID event.
Casting aside any pretense, the Republican Party, under the Trump Brand, has
completely abandoned any once held conservative values and any semblance of
advocating for fiscally responsible government. And Trump and his New
Republican Party are now the new face of Democratic Socialism and a new
"conservatism" that holds no price is too high to pay, just as long
as Big Government grows bigger and Individual Liberty shrinks.
Fearing what a damaged economy will do to his presidency and
his re-election chances, Trump has spent rivers of money, bleeding the U.S.
Treasury and the American people for trillions of dollars that pushes an
unsustainable national debt -- currently hitting $25 trillion and
charging warp speed to $40 trillion in the near future -- off onto the next
generations, in an attempt to stave off the Greater Depression and save his
chances for another term in the Oval Office.
Don't believe me? What would one call the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act, priced at $350 billion, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act, sucking away $2.2 trillion and the CARES Act
intervention for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program, at a cost of $500
billion, if not more Big Government Democratic Socialism, the sort that would
make FDR grin ear to ear?
Adding insult to injury, immediately after signing the CARES
Act into law, President Trump began advocating a 'Very Big & Bold" $2
trillion infrastructure plan, and that can only lead any reasonably cogent
thinking individual to also conclude President Trump full well intends to sign
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's $3 trillion Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus
Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, despite his and Senator Mitch McConnell's
protestations. The Republicans will make a show of tweaking and reshaping this
1800 page monstrosity, loaded with giveaways to special interest groups, while
leaving it largely intact, and they will cave to the Democrats, once again, as
sure as the sun sets in the west.
Far too many Americans are allowing individual liberty to be
damaged and suffer harm, as they look at each issue through the prism of
Trump's personality, hating or loving him depending on their party affiliation.
It's a shame that they can't see, that by and large, regardless of who presents
the case, Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other, the legislation
all seems to be prepared in the offices of Wall Street.
Well before the 2008 economic collapse, the U.S. economy was
teetering in a precarious position, and our economy never fully or properly
recovered from those days to the present, exacerbated by many economic bubbles
and zero interest rates, and when interest rates were raised, liquidity was
virtually nonexistent and repo markets became unstable. Still, the Federal
Reserve ignored the declining economic conditions and the historic levels of
national, corporate and consumer debt, as they continuously promulgated the
fiction that the U.S. economy was "strong" and "in recovery"
from December 2018 to the present, knowing they were lying and that the economy
was on the brink of a breakdown.
And in the meantime, the federal government and the state
governments both delivered terrible blows to individual liberty from the onset
of this virus event, that was used by the Federal Reserve Bank, certain
complicit Congressmen, corporate CEOs, lobbyists and Wall Street to provide cover
for the economic crash they created. The fact that the central banks set this
collapse in motion has largely been ignored by the mainstream media and the
statists, globalists and communists of America who are anxiously and gleefully
blaming the pandemic for everything that followed, during the shutdown,
including the "selfish" American patriots who have stood firm for
their individual liberty and defied the lockdowns.
Although President Trump is currently stating that
"we're not closing our country", if it's hit with a second wave of
COVID-19, from the outset, Trump has stood on the side of those despots, who
seem to misunderstand government's role in society, such as Dr Anthony Fauci of
the CDC, as he initially went along with many of the draconian guidelines that
soon were enforced as "law", across the states, only to later come
out and champion people in various states defying shutdown "orders".
Even as Trump flip-flopped from saying America can beat the virus without a
vaccine to announcing the U.S. military will be administering it, his Enablers
cheer, as they largely demand the country open again.
On May 21st, Trump exuded confidence as he noted the following, regarding
any resurgence of COVID:
"We're going to put out
the fires. We're not going to close the country. ... Whether it is an ember or
a flame, we're going to put it out. But we are not closing our country."
It's too bad that Trump didn't advocate this same position
from the start of the COVID-19 event that led to catastrophe for America, when
even then a great number of Americans, real experts, were loudly exclaiming
that never before in history had America ever completely shut down its economy
as a measure to combat a virus.
Gates and his criminal cronies have engaged in intense
agitation and propaganda of late, as they advocate a continuance of this
disastrous shutdown until everyone has been vaccinated, and in mind-boggling
fashion, Americans now see many Democrat Governors trying to keep the shutdown
going within their states, regardless of the wishes and pleas of the people.
And so too have we witnessed the despotic attitudes in the wild-eyed communist
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose arrogant statements go beyond the pale and
sound as if a foreigner spoke them, the transsexual Secretary of Health in
Pennsylvania and the Health Director of Los Angeles.
It appears that the current plan across the board, from the
federal level on down to the local, regardless of what is opened, is to
continue to mandate the anti-Freedom of Assembly "social distancing"
and masks, as a bit of false protection against the minimal threat of COVID, in
order to continue to force everyone to comply with illegitimate,
unconstitutional government "orders" and stop any dissent. Also, the flawed
tests will continue, and contact tracing of individuals will start, as tracking
technology is implemented nationwide. And all of this culminates with the
ultimate goal of forced mass vaccinations, despite Trump's assurances to the
contrary.
Lost jobs and thousands of destroyed small businesses are
just collateral damage for those who would be kings, and it has all been
achieved through phony science and its proponents who have corrupted their own
data, doctoring the death count by calling any death a COVID death, if the deceased
exhibited any of its associated symptoms. Hospitals too have helped perpetrate
the fraud on the American people, for financial gain, since they receive
$13,000 from Medicare for each COVID patient and $39,000 for each one placed on
a ventilator.
Some obvious questions need answering: Why are
thousands of businesses being forced to remain shutdown, with their owners
threatened with fines and jail, while corporate giants like Walmart and Home
Depot have been allowed to remain open the entire time? Why are abortions
deemed "essential" but orthopedic surgery is not? Why are liquor
sales "essential" but religious liberty is not?
Ironically, only moments after I started this piece, on
Friday May 22nd, President Trump announced a long overdue order for Governors
to allow houses of worship to reopen immediately as "essential". He stated: “The governors need to
do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to
open right now -- for this weekend. If they don't, I will override the
governors."
This is something that should have gone without saying and
should have been a given, from day one, just as it was with Walmart. Why was
Trump so slow to arrive to this decision?
This tyranny that was rushed upon the people has nothing to
do with medicine, our health, or actual science, and everything to do with
forcing the ultimate inversion whereby the government is attempting to
overreach and take unauthorized powers, as if it can now do anything it pleases
and the American people must beg its permission to leave their homes, hold a
job, assemble with their fellow Countrymen, worship in their churches, visit
parks or beaches or patronize certain businesses. The American people are
witnessing all pretense cast aside as an astounding number of elected officials
across the land rush to enforce complete illegitimate totalitarianism.
The despots of the American states and within the
bureaucracy of the federal government issued their diktats, and all those who
advocated for their individual rights or actually exercised them by defying the
decrees were denounced, shamed, censored and arrested in so many instances,
that one finds it hard to believe we are still living in America. Anyone who
disagreed or was seen as unwilling to sacrifice for the common good was
denounced as "selfish".
However, just to set things straight, it isn't selfish to
fight for one's rights and to want to work and be productive. It isn't selfish
to be more concerned with one's own welfare and the welfare of one's family and
friends than the welfare of strangers, the public or the government that
supposedly represents us all. One's desire to live free and with one's right to
liberty completely honored is not selfish.
America is in the midst of the largest psychological
operation in the history of mankind, and one cannot help but observe how fast
so many have completely submitted to this overreach and abuse of power during
this national lockdown. Even though a large number of Americans say they don't
trust politicians or the media, one could not tell from their initial
obedience, and now, having witnessed tens of millions bow to their power, these
politicians are emboldened, and no matter what transpires in the near future,
the long-term cost to freedom and liberty has been tragic in comparison
to any loss of life to the virus.
All of this brings to mind a great
quote by Joe
Sobran, a constitutional scholar and journalist for
the National Review: "By today's standards King George III was a very mild
tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per
annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial. he had arbitrary
power over them in law and in principle but in fact it was seldom exercised. If
you compare his rule with that of today's U.S. Government you have to wonder
why we celebrate our independence."
Americans must awaken to the fact that all risk in life
cannot possibly be eliminated, and it is delusional to try to accomplish such a
feat; edicts in pursuit of such are tyrannical and to comply with them
suicidal. And any betrayal of one's own conscience and the surrender of
individual rights to the collective for safety's sake, always ends in misery,
destruction, despair, terror and death, a lesson all will learn as our society
moves through the darkest time in American history.
Americans will remain free, so long as they do not succumb
to an immobilizing fear. It will require fighting for our rights, our freedom
and our lives by way of word and deed, our passion and diligence to the cause
of the same, in order to assure all these rights to ourselves and our families
and countrymen. Our rights and the pursuit of life and liberty can only be
assured and ensured through our refusal to conform, our disobedience and our
refusal to comply with any tyrannical order that tramples on our God-Given
Rights, while we also see such tyranny destroyed and replaced with true freedom
and liberty protected and defended by a government truly of, by and for the
people.

NO: We're Not All In This Together
Even If It Means Hell On Earth
By Justin O. Smith
Sent 5/24/2020 3:24 PM
Even though many Americans recognize most of the
"orders" handed down from on high, by federal and state governments,
from the very start of this COVID event were illegal and illegitimate, they
still ask those of us who oppose the government diktats, "Why can't you do
as I did and come along with us for fellowship?"
They love their catch phrases such as "We're all in
this together" and "Alone together".
And say we die, and they are sent to Heaven for doing as
their conscience implored and demanded, and I and my Fellow American Patriots
are sent to Hell for turning away from that which our own conscience implored
and demanded. Will they come along with me and my Countrymen for the same
convenient fellowship they now demand?
So many Americans have lost their way and are willing to go
to Hell -- and consign the rest of their Countrymen to that same Hell -- for
the sake of not rocking the boat, adopting the age old "go along to get
along" mentality.
For fellowship.
They want to keep peace with their wives, not lose their
jobs -- are desperate to open their businesses, even at half capacity and under
tortured restrictions that all but assure they will go out of business, if they
haven't already.
They want to be able to actually attend church in person, in
a most engaged manner, to eat inside a restaurant, and get a haircut. And to
those ends, many are far too willing to give up more liberty than they know and
to ... come along. To sigh and don the Mask of Fear and walk between the
painted lines, like herded cattle, as if they had just been arrested for
something. They are far too willing to accept the "new normal", that
expects us to behave and accept less than the same treatment any free person
should rightfully see daily, as if they and each human on the planet is a
COVID-dripping Typhoid Mary ... all for the sake of fellowship and being
"Alone Together".
They suggest in an insane manner that all of this is
reasonable, even necessary; or, at the very least, that it's something we just
have to go along with.
For fellowship.
Even if it means Hell on Earth.
