#1 This day 1972-----Neil Diamond - Song sung blue 1972

VERY worthy read!!-----What Is to Be Done? A Blueprint for Taking the Country Back

What Is to Be Done? A Blueprint for Taking the Country Back
"From the beginning of the modern “progressive” movement—which occurred around the time that Jean-Jacques Rousseau published “The Social Contract” in 1762, adumbrating the French Revolution—to the uprisings of 1848 across Europe, through the advent of “scientific” Marxism and the horrors of those deformed twins, Soviet Communism and German National Socialism, the same desire to inflict punitive misery has marked nearly every “revolutionary” movement.
For all their talk of “the people,” however, leftist revolutionaries hardly ever spring from the people or have them on their side. 
The people prize stability and order; the left welcomes chaos and anarchy, leading to totalitarianism. 
Leftists are, by definition, minorities in their own countries, generally drawn from the intellectual vanguard, and very often—because their ideas are so ridiculous—not taken seriously until it’s too late. 
  • They think of themselves as elites, and they mean to continue in that status long after their revolution is effected.
Adept in operating the levers of power once they attain them, however, they quickly bring “the people” into line with a program of terror and brute force—the American Revolution was a notable exception—and henceforth do all of the people’s thinking for them. 
...As we sit here, six months into the disastrous Biden administration, the question is finally becoming evident to even the most politically disinterested American. 
The quality of life in the big blue cities has deteriorated markedly. 
The cost of gasoline has seemingly doubled overnight. 
The petty restrictions imposed unconstitutionally on the electorate are still insisted upon in many places—proof once more that tyranny isn’t primarily about rounding up folks and shipping them off to camps, but about insisting that they conform to the most picayune and counter-factual ukases, just to illustrate their powerlessness...Read all.

Biden Nominee Pushed Population Control: American Children Are 'Environmental Hazard'

Biden Nominee Pushed Population Control: American Children Are 'Environmental Hazard'

Tracy Stone-Manning, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), described American children as an “environmental hazard” while advocating for slowing U.S. population growth in her 1992 graduate thesis.

The Daily Caller reported on Stone-Manning’s thesis, titled “Into the Heart of the Beast| A case for environmental advertising,” after which she was awarded a master of science degree in environmental studies. Her thesis, however, amounted to public policy recommendations for the University of Montana described as “environmental education.”

Gwen Berry turned away from the American flag and raised a T-shirt over her face as the national anthem played Saturday, minutes after she qualified for the Olympic team at the U.S. track and field trials in Eugene, Ore.

“I feel like it was setup,” Berry said with a burst of laughter. “I feel like they did that on purpose, and I was pissed, to be honest...

The People Who Were Sued for Downloading Music... What Ever Happened?

"Lawsuits against downloaders were meant to scare people into buying CDs again. 
However in the late 2000s a pair of cases went way too far, with even the judge calling the outcome "monstrous and shocking." 
Interestingly, the fight against digital music began as early as the 1980s.

Who Killed Ashli Babbitt? | The Pipeline

Who Killed Ashli Babbitt? | The Pipeline
"In November 19, 2019, Nathaniel Pinnock was shot and killed by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. Pinnock, 22, had robbed an auto parts store in Hollywood while armed with a machete and was walking from the scene when officers arrived and confronted him. 
...such is the transparency now attendant to officer-involved shootings in Los Angeles that anyone questioning the propriety of the officers’ actions can find the LAPD’s video summary of the incident and the involved officers’ body camera footage here, the civilian police commission’s 37-page report here, and the Los Angeles County district attorney’s 12-page legal assessment here

This level of transparency regarding the use of deadly force by police has come to be expected and is now common (though not yet ubiquitous) across the country, which makes it all the more curious that what rightly should be regarded as one of the most controversial police shootings to have occurred recently has gone all but unexamined in the press.
The case of Ashli Babbitt
, the Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by a U.S Capitol Police officer during the so-called insurrection of Jan. 6, has gone largely unexamined, either in the media or among the self-professed experts who find fault in even the most clearly justifiable police shootings...Read all.

What will become of the useful idiots? - American Thinker

What will become of the useful idiots? - American Thinker

"As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." 

In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism...or the real history of their native land that they're working so hard to destroy.

We're all aware of the current props being used by the radical left to further their cause — LGBT issues, racism, feminism, slavery, etc. — but how will some of those props fare under a Marxist regime?  

...While several websites make vague and inconclusive references to gay and transgender rights in China and Russia, it appears that feminism and homosexuality — and certainly transgenderism — are simply not tolerated. 

A look at history supports that conclusion.  

In an illuminating article on Frontpagemag, the always incisive Daniel Greenfield (highly recommended...a must-read!) s on this subject...

And how will the myriad of social justice warriors fit in with the new Marxist ruling class?...Read all.

"Here's something you won't hear much about in the mainstream media -- America's firefighters are struggle to develop procedures for dealing with electric vehicles that have crashed and burst into flame.

Why is that?

An Ominous Portent for Conservatives in the Military

An Ominous Portent for Conservatives in the Military

"... the DOD still has not promulgated an official definition of extremism.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin refused to give a definition at a congressional hearing this week, and on Thursday, the DOD confirmed to PJ Media that it has not adopted a definition. 

However, a working definition that the Army Recruiting Command apparently uses to screen applicants should raise alarm bells for conservatives.

“I’m very concerned about the recent order that you have conducted regarded looking at so-called ‘extremism,’ and I have sent to you two letters, Mr. Secretary, asking for the definition of what the Department of Defense views as ‘extremism,’ and have not heard back from you yet,” Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) told Austin at a hearing on Wednesday. “Could you just share with me, does the Department of Defense have a definition of extremism?”

Austin did not answer Hartzler’s question...

...“So, do you have a definition of what extremism is and what that behavior is?” Hartzler asked.

“Again, we’re focused on behavior,” Austin repeated, dodging the question.

...Hartzler brought up a new DOD screening procedure, asking, “What, specifically, would you be screening for?”...Read all.

Those people questioning the integrity of the election may have an open mind, but:
  • The new survey also found that 41% of voters still don't believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election fairly.
When over 40% of the public questions the results of a national election, it is vital to establish the truth of the matter via careful investigation.
If such a substantial portion of the public believes that the president illegitimately occupies the Oval Office, repression won't work well.

Washington Elites Are Weaponizing the Tax Code Against Christians

"A decade ago, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under President Barack Obama targeted tea party organizations for extra scrutiny and even denial of tax-exempt status. Democrats and the IRS seem determined to be even more brazen under Joe Biden.

As PJ Media’s Mark Tapscott reported last week, the IRS denied a 501(c)(3) tax exemption to the Texas-based group Christians Engaged because its Bible-based Christian teachings “are typically affiliated with the [Republican] party and candidates.”

...Meanwhile, a sitting Democratic politician threatened to target the Roman Catholic Church’s tax-exempt status if the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) drafts rules on Communion that he doesn’t like.

...“If they’re going to politically weaponize religion by ‘rebuking’ Democrats who support women’s reproductive choice, then a ‘rebuke’ of their tax-exempt status may be in order,” Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.threatened...Read all.

“Just from a fairness and a logical factor, if you are illegal, you can cross the border, you can remain here in the US, but if you are a legitimate business or if you simply are a Mexican or US citizen, you can’t cross that border today—even if you’re fully vaccinated,” Wolf said. “It needs to be rationalized, because, right now, they are incentivizing folks to cross illegally and disincentivizing folks to cross legally.”
