EXCELLENT article by Sundance. Thanks for the link. He is absolutely correct — no heads have been chopped at media companies, no change of direction, no introspection. This, their only course I saw to double down in support of leftist corruption and the coup. The loss of an inquisitive, independent press that questions the government is a mortal threat to the nation. We are in truly perilous times.
Add to your fine list:
1. Federal take over of all financing of post-secondary education.
2. Fed take over of health care, eventually wanting to control your very body and who lives and who dies.
Great article. Thank you for the link.
FBI?
Ah ha ha ha, ah ha aha ha.
Shame isn’t it?
I think this poll is heavily weighted in favor of the FBI.
I don’t know anyone who when meeting a FBI agent doesn’t feel like a Jew meeting the Gestapo at their front door during the dead of night.
Good points.
Also, democrats attempted the takeover of the mortgage system, with the community reinvestment act and the control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the massive number of regulations against banks and lending institutions.
Oh, mustn’t forget the massive land-grabs with by designating them as national landmarks.
We also cannot forget their attempted control of the energy sector.
And, the internet, with net neutrality.
There is virtually nothing that they didn’t attempt to do in order to control the economy AND the people.
Energy - yes, Keystone, ANWR, $20 billion “fine” against BP to fund leftist causes, wind & solar crap, National Renewable Standards, extreme coal regs, CO2 as a pollutant, 55 mpg CAFE standard, and many more
EPA and Army Corps of Engineers - declaring every rain puddle a “navigable waterway”
Kelso - Eminent Domain for benefit of developers
On and on and on and on
Transformation....
Remember that word?
The country was/is slowly being transformed, and people weren’t noticing what was happening to them and to the country.
It was like the proverbial “slow boiling of the frog” who didn’t notice that he was slowly being cooked. We, the country, were “slowly being cooked”.
I was talking to my sister tonight and we used the boiling from metaphor. The commies and statists learned there would never be a communist uprising here, so they adopted the boil-the-frog approach. The problem is that it is so slow that young people, by the time they reach 25, have no memory or knowledge of how things used to be. As Rush says, most people’s knowledge of history starts the day they were born. Our enemies are using this slow boil intentionally to make sure memories of the past are eradicated. People won’t go back to something they never knew (e.g. freedom).
