The belief in the supremacy of the State is the religion of Power, practiced diligently by statists, socialists, communists, fascists, and all those that benefit from the yoking of capital and labor.

Spoken in 1917.  Imagine how much power the media and academia have now.  They have hijacked the 'memory' of the populace.  The end result, and goal, is to promote a narrative that gives them more power, stealing free thought itself, and propping themselves up as experts and authorities to whom all must treat as gospel.

2020 will go down in history as the year global authoritarianism made its greatest push into Western Civilization.  Socialism will never be enough, the politicos pulling the strings will never be satisfied, like an addict that eventually overdoses chasing the dragon.  The American republican form of government is the only 'hope' against global totalitarianism.

True and succinctly put!

Looks like racist rhetoric is a time-tested tactic of propaganda to rile people up over trivialities and exaggerations.

Holy Cow!  Talk about hitting the nail on the head!

Seems bang on to me.

Right on, Mary!!

Politicians playing God — nothing new here!  The whole point of the American Common Law and a republican form of government is to protect against the seekers of power and would-be rulers over the people.  America is built upon the ideals of natural-born Liberty — no other nation with a statist form of government comes close.  Any form of authoritarianism is anathema to personal liberty and responsibility — authoritarianism is anti-American.

2020 will be remembered as the year of global insurrection to usher in authoritarianism.  Would-be despots are showing their colors world-wide with authoritarian power grabs.  Their target?  Total control.  On the horizon, the injecting of drugs into every person on the planet, perhaps annually, forever.  Also, apparently, Capitalism is the cause of the pandemic, so all small businesses closed, all people under house arrest, mayors & governors now micro-managing every petty aspect of our lives.  We need permission for EVERYTHING now.  

Rioting is essential, so rioters are sometimes detained but always released, to be arrested and let go again, and again.  The DA's are in on it.  The mayors are in on it.  The governors are in on it.  Social media are in on it.  The MSM loves it.  Professional sports promotes it — if Americans won't pay for it, China will.  The Democratic playbook is now straight from the Red Guard during the Maoist purge.  What a year!

Wow!  I still love this quote! ;-)

Possibly.  We will see ...

Will there ever be a President that understands this who will act?  Granted no one can get elected on that platform, it'll have to be a secret until then.  Repeal 16th amendment, cancel Federal Reserve Act, and return to gold standard.  ;-)  It will be war, no doubt, with the MSM leading the charge for totalitarianism of the State.

Check out the Gerson Therapy for Adult Stills disease.  I've beaten cancer with it.  Cheers.

Ultimately this is the very difference between the American republican form of government and every other form of government in the world. In America, the individual is born free with unalienable rights that cannot be legislated away.  This is the blessing of Liberty that is our birthright.  Understand the distinction between Liberty and Servitude, Responsibility and Dependence, Truth and Illusion.  Be empowered, not bridled, saddled and ready to be ridden.

Who would have predicted the lengths the MSM would go in the next 4 years!  I have more trust in the National Enquirer.

Know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

I agree that "those who envy don't want what the others have but rather want the others (the millionaires and billionaires) to have as little as they have."  Just look at the race riots being promoted in leftist cities.  "Burn it all down" is their credo.

Robert, "the total destruction by capitalism of the middle class"? Sheesh!  Capitalism raises the poor to middle class.  The poor cannot reach the middle class via government subsidy  Without commerce, there are only 2 classes, the ruling class and the serfs, all equally dependent and oppressed.  The embrace of socialism in public schools, praising government as the solver of problems, is the source of despair among the poor — government cannot deliver them; they can only cry out for better conditions for their servitude.

Capitalism is Commerce — the goal of the socialists is to profit off of commerce among the people.  They produce nothing but skim the cream off the top of everything that passes by them — of course the goal is that EVERYTHING must be tracked and regulated and TAXED.

The primary evil of socialism is not the ideals of peace and equality, but the fact that everyone must obey the dictates of the social engineers — they have no choice.  Otherwise, they cannot work, cannot use cash/debit/credit cards, cut-off from government services (to which all are beholden), and may possibly be charged with crimes. 

Hey, progressives, you are fascists!  Wake the f*%k up.

Just a recap: Obama's presidency was the most NON-transparent in history.  He armed the intelligence agencies against threats to the Party.  More corrupt than Nixon.

Obama did not keep any of those promises.  He did try to fundamentally transform America, resulting in the 2nd Depression, and the subordination of the USA to globalist organizations.  We gave Black Marxism a try — NEXT!

Thanks to the "Trump" card, the Deep State is squirming, like rats on a sinking ship.  KAG

As a truth-seeker, and by necessity a truth-teller, I cannot call myself an atheist any more than I can call myself a theist.  You will have to define God in order for me to either accept or deny God. 

Ever since I treated the Bible stories as allegories rather than historical fact, those scriptures make more sense.  Dogma is a prison for the mind, Truth frees it.  Let's face it, the origin of the universe, the source of Life, is a profound mystery.  The Bible and other age-old texts were written to make sense of this ever-present mystery.  We ponder the writings of ancient philosophers and study the history of the world, and we end up here and now with our ideas about it all, and we interact with the world accordingly.

Rejecting dogma as truth is a good first step.  Understanding the profound meaning of the allegories that have stood the test of time is better. 

Notice that the typical liberal atheist clamors for government to perform all the tasks of churches and their congregations.  Notice that liberals talk about compassion, while Christians wish to promote love.  Liberals want to feed the poor and clothe the naked — this has been the tenet of Christianity for centuries.  Liberals want to forcibly take your earnings to pay for their compassion, while churches voluntarily raise money for their missions.  Liberals want free health care for all.  Count the number of hospitals founded by religious orders!

And finally, rejecting the teachings of Christ because some Christians do not follow them is a bogus argument.  Atheists have no more moral high ground than anyone else — they are as fallible as Christians (which BTW Christians profess that they are far from perfect, unlike liberals).  Leftists are full of hate for those that reject their authoritarianism — far from their claims of tolerance and compassion.  The last 3 months of leftist hate has been on display for all the world to see.  This is the promise of socialism.

Socialism is essentially a religion of the god of Power.  They have a twisted sense of responsibility in that they are responsible for me but not themselves.  Perpetual victims (and pawns, I might add).

In John 12:31-36, Jesus refers to Satan as "the ruler of this world."  I am not familiar with the interpretation of Caesar representing the sovereign individual, you'll have to explain that one.

The Democratic governors who have placed their states in an indefinite State of Emergency in order to issue unconstitutional edicts are prime examples.  The lust for power can be found in all these politicos.  They are drunk with power.  Marie Antoinette is alive an well in the USA.  When are people going to wake up?  This is a blatant attack on the Liberty of the People!! 

Where in the Constitution it is stated that the Constitution is null and void under a state of emergency?  That would mean that all a governor has to do is declare an emergency and they have unlimited power. 

Whoever wrote these rules to allow governors to rule without limitation knew exactly what they were doing.  Americans should never forget that there are other Americans that wish to rule them — I know it is hard to believe, but it is true.  Every time they try to take away your power to defend yourself with arms, information, speech, fellowship, they are preparing for a day when all will be under their control.  Think Xi and Putin — this is leftism without the right.
