He sure was.
American chapter.
add oil crisis to the lockdown crisis.
yet no media I have heard - from BBC to various outlets in Australia - has stated the obvious.
there is no demand for oil BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWNS WHICH WERE BASED ON WILDLY EXAGGERATED, FAKE PREDICTIONS.
instead, there’ cute talk about individuals and countries taking advantage of the low prices, when untold millions of individuals can hardly use their cars BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWNS.
it’s the LOCKDOWNS, STUPID, NOT THE CORONAVIRUS, as the media is calling it.
We should be seriously asking ourselves how the Uniparty came into existence and flourished.
There are so many among us that believe the lies pumped out by the media and “experts” or any talking head on TV, without question. All while knowing that those same people lie to them constantly about everything.
We have always been allies with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
And that holds true on just about any topic of discussion currently.
I’ve been saying for years I didn’t see how this government was going to last all the abuses it has suffered. For the next couple months I’m not sure this is the time to “throw off the yoke of oppression”. Maybe September will be a better opportunity.
Get me an Aeroplane,,,
This is in at least one way silly. 18 months or more of shutdown?
We all know at some level, or at least have the common sense to realize, that the calls to shut down the economy will abruptly end— one way or another— no later than November 4, one day after the presidential election...
Amen, and patriots will fight to keep it this way.
We need a new Paul Revere shouting out a warning, “The models are coming! The models are coming!”.
It's fine to question it, but we now have 44,000 dead Americans WITH a lock down. That numerator speaks for itself, no denominator needed.
Given what we've seen out of other countries, if you're going to question the denominator, then you need evidence. You need serological tests, that aren't using a Chinese manufactured test that is inaccurate enough to completely invalidate the results.
I'd agree it's our duty to examine the basis on which a medical lock down was issued and some freedoms curtailed.
I agree there have been some abuses that either aren't medically necessary given the assumptions or applied in such a way that is discriminatory. These are being readily challenged in court. And courts appear to be overturning these edicts. That check and balance is working.
I'm not worried about the country's freedoms. We've been here before. It's been a long time, 1918. Churches were closed, schools were closed. Theaters, movie houses, gymnasiums, pool halls, libraries, anywhere people gathered. People were ordered to wear masks or go to jail. There were event closures. Phone service was even curtailed at some point because operators were sick.
There were people saying it was a hoax. There were bizarre cures, such as drives in the mountain air. Some people claimed the flu wouldn't come to their city because of the weather. History sounds a lot like today.
But the threat passed and the freedoms were restored. Not sure if anyone had to fight back then to get their freedoms back. But I am confident that we have the will and the means to fight those battles if necessary.
We still have a voice, we still have free elections, we still have guns. And we have a freedom loving President.
The threat to America's freedoms doesn't come from a virus. It comes from an electorate that is uneducated on the lessons from the past. And from a MSM that is too consolidated in the hands of a few and has too much foreign influence and ownership. And that threat doesn't need a virus to win. It just needs a gullible electorate to vote for it. But it won't win.
I have confidence in America.
Bottom line, We the People have been demoted. Once, to be forced to do as we are being forced would have required an easily understandable threat of gargantuan proportions. Anything short of that and the idea of taking away people’s very living would have been seen as insane. Proactive of torches and pitchforks.
What is happening now shows peyond any doubt that WE don’t matter anymore. We aren’t even wort considering.
To paraphrase Mr. Goldwater: Resistance in defense of liberty is no vice
you write -
“WE don’t matter anymore. We aren’t even worth considering”
they have a word for it - NON-ESSENTIAL.
RR: the best there ever was... The best there ever will be (sadly).
“We should be seriously asking ourselves how the Uniparty came into existence and flourished.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn told us, “Evil people always support each other; that is their main strength.”
And no one is willing to do a damn thing about it.
Writing angry letters is all anyone is going to do.
That numerator speaks for itself, no denominator needed.
I presume you weren't a math major.
Dear Lord, I hope so. I have watched that generation sh*t on pretty much everything for my entire life, and can’t wait until not one of them is left in power (Trump excepted).
