FROM Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville:

I think then that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything which ever before existed in the world: our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories. I am trying myself to choose an expression which will accurately convey the whole of the idea I have formed of it, but in vain; the old words “despotism” and “tyranny” are inappropriate: the thing itself is new; and since I cannot name it, I must attempt to define it.

I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world. The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives. Each of them, living apart, is as a stranger to the fate of all the rest—his children and his private friends constitute to him the whole of mankind; as for the rest of his fellow-citizens, he is close to them, but he sees them not—he touches them, but he feels them not; he exists but in himself and for himself alone; and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country.

A BRITISH father of six children responds to a police officer who arrives at his house to enforce lockdown regulations. This is awesome! A must-watch.

Wallet? Check. Water? Check. COVID-19 test?

The pre-concert checklist for music fans is about to get more complicated, as Ticketmaster is planning to check the coronavirus vaccination status of concert-goers prior to shows once a treatment is approved, Billboard reported Wednesday. [Source] (more…)

THE mainstream news never mentions when reporting on daily Covid cases that many or most of the reported “cases” have no symptoms and that the test is extremely unreliable.

“[T]he vast majority of ‘cases’ reported are not actually ‘cases’.

“Classically speaking, a ‘case’ of a disease is someone who displays symptoms. There is a huge difference between being infected, and being a ‘case’. That’s why infection fatality rate (IFR) and case fatality rate (CFR) are two different numbers.

“However for COVID19 they have abandoned this distinction, referring to every single positive test as a ‘case’, despite the fact the vast majority never exhibit any symptoms.” (Source)

See this post from August. This is a scam of monumental proportions.

WINTER WATCH predicted in October of last year the election fraud of 2020: Research at Argonne National Laboratories revealed that a single individual with physical access to a voting machine, can install inexpensive, readily-available electronic components to manipulate its functions. Winter Watch predicts the 2020 presidential election will make the 2000 chads debacle look like a piker — and it will be deliberately and malevolently arranged that way. It is likely to be manufactured to be close. The perfect storm. Election technology will be full-court third world. More information on election technology is in its repost linked above.  

FOR those of us who believe face masks are harmful -- physically, mentally, socially and spiritually -- the Biden "victory" is potentially good news. The face mask has now become a political symbol like never before. Joe and Kamala love it. Their faces were rarely seen on the campaign trail. They probably even wear masks to bed. And they have threatened to mandate masks nationally. Why do people wear face masks? They wear them because they want to; it's as simple as that. They wear them because they believe they are medically justified; they are sincerely concerned about harming or offending others; they trust government health officials; they feel pressured to wear one or maybe they would like to signal their virtue. In other words, people wear masks because they want to wear them. I am not critical of individuals for simply doing this. I am not attacking individuals who want to wear a mask. I am critical of the government and businesses for pretending they can force everyone to wear a mask and for punishing those who do not wish to wear them. The government has nothing beyond threats to make millions of people don a medical device. The Covid regime is based on bluff. The government is not going to put people in jail by the tens of thousands over the issue. Only the most blatant distortion of the Constitution could uphold a mask mandate in court when there…

TERESA Stanfill Benns has written a piece about the presidential election at her website Betrayed Catholics. She draws on her experience as a newspaper reporter in Colorado during a disputed election. "The county I covered was a longtime Democrat stronghold. Republicans and Independents were not held in high esteem. It was a good ole boy and girl pat-my-back-and-I’ll-pat-yours arrangement that had worked well for quite some time, and the powers that be saw no need to change course. It was that way then and it is that way now, both in that county and in many places nationally. Democrats also controlled the irregular elections held in a small town in that same county. I cannot change the facts or deny what I saw with my own eyes. Not that Republicans are guiltless, as the election article link above explains. But for this time and this election, fueled by a hatred deliberately exacerbated by the media and Democrat politicians, they had both the opportunity and the motive to flip this election." Benns suggests a new election in contested states with paper ballots supervised by the National Guard. She makes interesting connections between presidential vote fraud and the subversion of the Catholic Church through a false papal election in 1958.  

FOR crying out loud, can’t they conduct ONE psyop without a drill beforehand?

The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) was a series of June 2020 political scenario exercises in the United States, involving over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government officials. The exercises examined potential disruptions to the 2020 presidential election and transition.^[1][2][3][4] TIP is not an organization, but rather a short-term project run under the auspices of the organization Protect Democracy.

The Transition Integrity Project was initially organized in late 2019^[5] by Rosa Brooks, a law professor at Georgetown and former Pentagon senior official, and Nils Gilman, a former vice chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley and historian at the Berggruen Institute. Other participants in the Transition Integrity Project’s exercises included:^[3][6][7] (more…)
