PROGRESSIVE PLAYBOOK IS MAFIA STYLE RACKETEERING

PROGRESSIVE PLAYBOOK IS MAFIA STYLE RACKETEERING

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

The First Amendment to our Constitution protects our right to freedom of speech. This has been a hallmark of the USA since its inception. The progressive movement is insidiously attacking it. Unlike the traditional liberals who believed in debating ideas to reach logical and rational decisions, the progressives rely on the ends justifying the means to intimidate and eliminate the other side any way necessary. The goal is for their elite cohorts to gain total control of virtually everything.  Accomplishing this objective they have concluded that free speech has to be replaced by politically correct, “group think.”

We have clearly seen this process on college campuses. Any student or speaker who has non-progressive views is shouted down, humiliated or physically attacked.  Professors holding traditional viewpoints in universities on average are less than 10% of all professors. These few traditionalists understand the precarious position and self-censoring needed to keep their positions.

Our politically correct media are progressive advocates who create false narratives to push their elite agenda. The selection and perspective taken are always highlighted to demonstrate the positives of the progressive proponents and negatives of everyone else. The traditional side is labeled as racist, intolerant, mean spirited, and regressive or other pejorative statements to destroy their credibility and personal character.  Their personal life is investigated and exposed to eliminate them from the stage.

Media bias is part of the progressive strategy.  Publix, a large supermarket corporation, had the audacity to give money to Adam Putnam, a candidate for governor who supports the NRA. Even though Publix announced it would suspend political contributions the media still featured a “Die-In” protest in Publix. This was produced and directed by the progressive darling, David Hogg, and supporters of Parkland school shooting fame. The inclusion of this “Die in” after Publix’s capitulation was to solidify Hogg’s credentials, additionally it was a statement or warning to other corporations to follow the group-think script or else.

Roseanne Barr, a top money making television sitcom actress, was cancelled like lightning after her stupid Tweet about an Obama administration advisor. This incident clearly demonstrated the media’s double standard.  When many others: Joy Behar of “The View said “Christianity is like a mental illness,” Kathy Griffith held a “severed head of Trump”, Madonna spoke of wanting to blow up the Whitehouse, and many others made slanderous statements about President Trump none suffered any repercussions.

The hit men to keep everyone in line are political “media dons.” Reverend Jesse Jackson shook down corporations to donate to the Rainbow Coalition or they would be attacked as racist. Lois Lerner, Internal Revenue Service, refused to grant non-profit status to any pro Tea Party organization eliminating groups countering Obama and investigated donors who supported them. Eric Holder, head of the justice department, pursued corporations with the full force of the law. The business would be found guilty of an obscure ruling and would be forced to pay a fine that would go to promote a progressive cause. Now the corporations, like the small, local shops of the past, pay protection money and rationalize it as the cost of doing business.

Proposition 8- Defense of Marriage proposal in California 2008, stated that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid.” After the voters approved the proposal the progressives staged a massacre of all supporters of Proposition 8. They published the names of anyone who gave money to help pass the law. These donors were personally and viciously attacked and many lost their positions. The state of Utah was boycotted, websites sprung up to make emotional appeals for voters to alter their vote. Churches who were pro Proposition 8 were labeled as homophiles. This scorched earth racketeering policy shut down enough voting supporters of the vote to reverse the results of Proposition 8.

The progressive strategy is to intimidate anyone who is considered a potential rival by making an offer they cannot refuse. Anyone who challenges progressive ideology will be personally targeted and annihilated. When a person surrenders and plays ball they are protected and can become clandestine members of the “ruling gang.” Paying up by supporting and saying the right things is simply extortion to stay in business.

The blatant racketeering of the progressive movement should be an insult to every freedom-loving citizen of the United States. These “banana republic” tactics are meant to frighten us to self-censor our First Amendment rights. Instead, Americans have to do their duty to listen and forcefully voice their opinions.

Citizens need to stand up and utilize our Freedom of Speech even if it means sacrificing our power and money to illustrate these brutal uses of power. Only fearless patriots can salvage our exceptional republic from these Deep State Mafia style thugs.
