Stop Enabling Tyranny – Before Your It

To the members of Congress, the media, big tech, the FBI, the DOJ, Teachers, and the CIA whose organization’s credibility has been utterly destroyed through the willful use of lies and the warping of the law to serve financial and political ends:  To everyone that is going along to get along as they watch harm come to themselves and their families, this message is for you.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

If your opinion differs from that of your neighbor on a topics such as religion or politics should you or your neighbor be slapped in chains and hauled off to solitary confinement?  What if, in order to make a point, your government with the help of a media that reprints every comment made by the government as gospel,  throws a 69 year old woman with breast cancer into solitary confinement, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.   Is that ok? 

Minneapolis, MN. It was minority communities destroyed. How is that ok?

Often conservative media puts forth the idea that the vast majority of FBI, CIA and DOJ employees are good people, that these are people that support the rule of law and are interested in the fair application of the law across all racial, political, and religious boundaries.  I do not believe it.  These so called good employees are silent while 100s of defendants languish in DC jails for simply walking through the open doors of the capital building, while the 10s of 1000s of George Floyd protesters who caused billions in damage leaving behind torched communities and ruined lives are bailed out by congress people.

Where are these good agents, responsible media personalities, or principled members of Congress who are supposedly standing up for either the rule of law, objective truth,  or common  decency?  They are no where to be found.    Sure, everyone wants to protect their job, but at what point does the tyranny imposed by these institutions become a tyranny that comes for even the seemingly most innocuous employee that just kept his/her head down.    When will your seemingly unimportant view of sex or religion become a reason to slap you in chains? What happens in totalitarian states when the first round of opposition is suppressed, they come for you next.

History is rife with examples of purges and these purges have begun.  Not yet bloody, the current purges are already happening.   Military members that have refused to get the vaccine have been driven out of the Armed Forces without the retirement and benefits they were promised for putting their lives on the line for this country.   How is it ok for these members to be driven out, purged, for refusing to take a vaccine that has proven to be ineffective and whose long term impact on people’s health has been hidden from the population.  In one of the healthiest, least at risk populations the vaccine was used as a loyalty test to see if these members would go along with even unreasonable commands.  Loyalty tests are the stuff of totalitarian regimes.  Why has no one pushed back on this?

Do NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and CNN support loyalty tests?  When it happens to the members of these organizations are they going to stand up and say its wrong?  By then it will be too late and the precious jobs the silent were hoping to protect will be gone.   Tyranny just requires silence and too few people to speak up.  As long as the majority do not speak up, tyranny will continue and get worse.  

The status quo has become that of a corrupt government, corrupt media and corrupt institutions whose rank and file are too afraid to speak the truth.   When companies allow China to manufacture their products using slave labor and justify that in terms of profit, that is corruption.  How many people suffer in pursuit of that profit.  When our big tech companies assist China in developing the surveillance state how long until you and your family will be subject to the same surveillance here?  When will that translate to your being arrested for having the wrong thought or for going against the prevailing orthodoxy? 

When the FBI classifies parents as terrorists in order to protect school boards from the parents whose interest in the education of their children should be paramount it is clear that the FBI no longer has an interest in pursuing criminals.  If your child is in one of these schools that is spending more time indoctrinating kids than in seeing that they have a firm foundation in reading, writing and math, then your child is being put behind in ever measure that will help that child succeed in life.   No FBI agent should be willing to help persecute parents in their efforts to promote their children’s education.  FBI agents, CIA agents, and many, many government employees have children that are no longer being taught the basics.   Why the hell do you allow this?  Why do you not stand up for your children?

Big tech employees watch while their companies implement algorithms that hide the harm being done to children, that suppress valid medical information, that promote policies that ultimately harm children and hurt both their health and long term mental stability.  Why do these employees not stand up and say enough is enough?     When the CDC is clearly hiding data, how is that not front page news? When China’s military unleashes a world wide devastating virus on the world how is that ok to bury?  When the head of the NIAID agency promotes scientific experiments (gain of function) and it results in millions of deaths, how is that not news everywhere. When those experiments are continuing, how is that ok. What if your mom, dad, brother or sister die because you remained silent, how will you feel about not calling out the people suppressing that information?

When the FBI fails to prosecute clear evidence of law breaking from Democratic operatives, from those that destroy evidence, use illicit drugs, or have demonstrated evidence of compromise by our enemies, but pursue vendettas on the thinnest of evidence against political enemies it is obvious that the FBI is no longer interested in justice.  Now the FBI is just a political hack with no reputation to lean on other than a terrible, awful, disreputable stain.  If I were an FBI agent and a father teaching my son or daughter that the work I did was honorable, I would be ashamed.   Where are those people? Why do they tolerate this from their bosses? What happened to the days where the FBI pursued drug traffickers, terrorists (Like the people that destroyed our cities), and gang members? Of course, not pursuing these things as a priority means one day their families will suffer death or injury. I think that if I were an FBI agent I would speak up before that happens.

For members of the FDA, CDC, and NIH,  the once respected communities of government professionals tasked with protecting the health of this nation.   To see your leaders constantly lying about Covid and the vaccine has been more than a disappointment.  To watch while other countries publish real data while our country covers that data up, or worse, fabricates results is embarrassing.  The day we have a real health emergency, no one will accept that it is real since all credibility has been stripped from both the CDC, the FDA and the NIH.  How many people have died because Covid was mishandled? How many more will die because no one believes these institutions any more.   Doctors and nurses across this country, knowing that cloth masks do nothing and that lockdowns fail still got on board.  No one stood up to the failed policies that killed millions unnecessarily.  Is this the health policy world you want to be part of?  Where are the guts to stand up for what is right? 

As government policy shuts down oil and gas production in this country, the production of which enabled the most productive agriculture in the world and the export of energy that saves countless third world lives, few in government have spoken up.  As millions are starving in Ghana and Sri Lanka because of the ESG policies for which there is no evidence of planetary improvement, why are people tolerating these policies that cause poorer countries to be thrown back to the stone age, and our country to suffer unprecedented inflation, food lines and poverty.  What is shocking is the silence by all the well meaning folks. These people are ok with mass starvation as if that is some sort of social good.  If you have a family and kids for another generation these policies guarantee your kids will be far worse off that you are, or are just dead.  Not standing up now, is promising them that future. Is that what you want?

I could go on, but this is a call to all those involved in tacitly protecting these harms to rise up against their employers, government or otherwise and push for change that results in prosperity for themselves and their children.   This is not America First, although that is not a bad idea, but about self interest.  The totalitarian state has already started? How long until that state comes after you for not being vocal enough in support of its policies.   How long are you willing to call green, blue or 5, 6 in order to appease someone’s idea of control?  Are you willing to let unproven vaccines give your children heart failure or cancer in 20 years?   What will you do when your child asks you why you let him or her get the vaccine? 

Yes, this is a call to action.  Speak up, cajole, protest, support the truth, protect our country from out of control inflation, unnecessarily high energy costs, food shortages, out of control crime, unequal justice and from those whose policies hurt not just us but whose policies increase poverty across all four corners of the earth. The United States has given more cash and goods to more impoverished people across the globe than any other country in history. Letting our government impoverish its people destroys that good will. It makes millions around the world suffer. Anyone that does not speak up leaves that as their legacy. It is time to speak up. Pass this letter around to all that you know as it is incumbent on each person to stand up for what is right and what is right is in each persons self interest in the long run.

men to do nothing,” a Quote

Scarier than COVID-19: No Freedom

FOOD BANKS ARE OVERRUN

The United States is a country with a history of overcoming huge problems when the people are left to be inventive, innovative, and free.  We have forgotten that basic fact, to our great detriment.

In the name of health and security the government has denied millions their right to feed their families.   In Texas,  Shelly Luther was jailed for opening up her beauty shop.  In Birmingham you can be fined for not wearing a mask. The Episcopal Dioceses of Kansas says Churches must keep a register of names of people attending in-person services for possible future contact tracing.  Why is that?  Are Christians to be tracked?  Across the country meetings of more than 10 people are banned. Tech companies are filtering and removing information with which they don’t agree,  preventing people’s voices from getting out and hindering even scientific exploration.

The response to COVID-19 is not protecting the most vulnerable, just damaging everyone else.  In New York 66% of the new cases have come from people sheltering in place, yet “Non-Essential workers” can not go to work.    Studies have show that the number of people infected but who never were sick enough to seek treatment is far higher (20%)in New York City than imagined.  The virus has been here and the shelter in place orders may have flattened the peak and kept the hospitals from being overwhelmed, but at this point all these orders are are draconian steps demonstrating the arbitrary execution of power by government.  There is no science to it. 

The government has arbitrarily decided who is “Essential”.  It is not just healthcare workers, delivery drivers,  grocery workers.  Every person who has to feed a family is essential to that family.  Every business with customers is essential to those customers. Daycare is essential to working parents.   To a near sighted person eye doctors are essential, to the sick the availability of emergency rooms is essential even if they do not have COVID-19.

go away

Instead we have run patients with milder problems away from our medical facilities, so when they do return, those problems will be severe.  We have cut off those who are sick from any disease from their loved ones and advocates.  Patients that could not speak for themselves now have no one to speak for them.

What makes sense, is that instead of locking up everyone, denying even the most basic rights of free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to assemble, and the freedom to worship, is that we protect the people that are most vulnerable.  Clearly the elderly, those in nursing homes or those who have significant co-morbidities are most at risk.  The vast majority of everyone else is at minor risk of serious infection.

Those at risk need personal protective gear or need to limit their exposure to others who have known COVID-19 statuses.  In New York City 20% of the people tested for antibodies showed exposure.  That is millions. They have already been exposed, had the disease, mostly without symptoms and so have no need to shelter.  They do not need to be protected.

We have let the media scare us into terrible and horribly destructive policy decisions.  These decisions have failed to protect the most vulnerable while scaring everyone into giving up their inalienable rights.  The media have tried to scare us at every turn, they have dismissed the proven effectiveness of Hydroxy-Chloro-quinine although the drug has been around for 50+ years.  They have helped fuel bad decisions at every turn.  Much of the media took China’s propaganda and repeated it slowing recognition of the true threat from this virus.

Google has said they will only allow posts that agree with World Health Organization guidelines.  This is the same WHO that told us that the virus was not human to human transmittable, and who’s ties to China are more than questionable.   Science is about putting all ideas out there for evaluation, not just those approved by the communist party of China.

There are a whole host of players to blame for the destruction of our economy and the loss of freedom that has resulted.  Now is the time to reverse those errors.  Look at the science, the true numbers, as some of the media have inflated the deaths to sow fear. Look at Sweden as they did not shut down and fared better than us.  Stop state and city oligarchs from exercising petty rules designed to show their power. Be smart about protecting the vulnerable and fully open up the country.

Not opening up the country will extend the depression that is already upon us. If you care for this country for the well being of your family, now is the time to step up and demand the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution.

 

 

 

 

How Trump Duped Russia, Turkey, Syria,Iran and the Press

The press has lambasted President Trump, calling him an idiot, an imbecile,  and worse.  The reaction of the press to his decision to pull American troops out of Syria brought further condemnation by the press, outrage even, with the Daily Beast painting the President as unpredictable.  In all the criticism, and reaction, the press, most of Congress, much of the President’s cabinet and the enemies of the US missed the truth.  Trump never planned to pull out of Syria.  Not for a long time in the future.

In one move President Trump revealed the ill intentions harbored by numerous enemies.  Turkey’s double dealing was revealed for all to see.  Their secret relationship with Iran was uncovered as were Russia’s intention to help carve up Syria.  He flushed out members of his cabinet that would not stand by his strategies.

As he had many times before, the reaction to his plans laid bare the true intentions of the enemy.  Russia wasted no time trying to arrange a meeting with Turkey and Iran.   Turkish backed Syrian troops started positioning themselves for an attack on Kurdish held Manbij.  Turkey’s desire to take the Kurdish areas was on the table for all to see.

The alignment of Turkey and Russia, with Turkey being a NATO state, demonstrates their unreliability as an ally.  Turkey’s willingness to sit down with Iran threatens everyone in the region.

John Bolton’s trip to Israel put conditions on the pullout which could keep troops in Syria for years. (New York Times)  By the time Israel was reassured all the players had already revealed their cards.  Turkey had been revealed as an deceitful partner, Russia clearly an opportunist with designs on the area,  and congressmen and cabinet members with an anti-Trump agenda were rooted out.

The classic redirection put each of these players and the press in a tizzy.  Nevertheless, in terms of geo-political power President Trump out them all.  Each revealed things about their plans and intentions that could be countered by just staying engaged.  Our press and our enemies took Trump at his word and failed to see the wider plan. Even as the plan becomes clear,  the media can’t grasp it.

As just a spectator I can only see the broader benefit of the ruse.  The facts made public.  Add the intelligence gathering and informational benefit and the reality is the Trump along with US interests gained mightily while each of the other players have lost major face.  Trump outsmarted them all.  The troops stay, and the conditions of their withdrawal have been set.  The bad faith plans of our enemies have been laid bare for the world to see.

One day the press might give the President credit for out thinking our enemies. I doubt that. They certainly will never give him credit for out thinking the media, which has once again show itself to be the true dupe.
