CRUSHING OUR FREEDOM THROUGH FEAR WILL NOT WORK AGAIN

CRUSHING OUR FREEDOM THROUGH FEAR WILL NOT WORK AGAIN                          

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

The Coronavirus provided progressive leaders an opportunity to spin a crisis. The ultra-wealthy, pseudo scientists and political big brother figures were the first to “yell fire” in our nation. Covid-19 was falsely predicted to kill many millions worldwide and numerous millions in the United States. This prediction was widely wrong with more and more frightening predictions for this autumn. The greater the speculation that more deaths would occur from the virus, the greater the power of the scientific community to keep us in lock step following their dictates.

Even more revealing, much of the scientific evidence and practices for combating the virus have not demonstrated they have worked. Instead of admitting they were incorrect, they have dug deeper into non-scientific narratives to keep the United States’ citizens in panic of dying from Coronavirus. They decided to quarantine the general public, not only isolating the infected but quarantining even the uninfected. This is the first time in the history of pandemics that the healthy population was treated the same as the highly vulnerable members.

These bureaucratic elites want to confiscate our rights, our belief in our constitution and freedom to make choices. They view citizens as their subjects that should be controlled in all aspects of their lives. These so-called “deplorables” should be taught by criminal punishment to follow the rules developed by the elites, not use their own knowledge and judgment. This arrogant attitude of elites is repulsive and perilous to our nation. The progressives have built a powerful bureaucracy in the majority of our institutions that they believe is their right to exercise.

Americans are realizing their progressive leaders are after the power to control every aspect of our lives. These politicians are loving exercising their “fascist power” to pick winners and losers. Somehow it makes them feel more like emperors rather than just government representatives following the will of the people. Slowly but steadily more citizens are peacefully protesting by making their own choices, which are better for them and their families. US small business owners are disgusted with the nonsensical government restrictions and are resisting by challenging their unconstitutional mandates. There has not been any looting and rioting in these protests against this unconstitutional usurpation of power, but the protestors have been described by the leftist media as being aggressive agitators.

However, when the BLM crowds sprung up in cities throughout the USA the large crowds were tagged as “mostly peaceful” demonstrations.  But our eyes witnessed destruction of businesses, burning, looting, violence towards others, confiscation of police stations and seizing and ripping down our national monuments to erase our proud history. These demonstrators were anything but peaceful in contrast to the “end the lockdown” protests. Also, concern over spreading the virus were muted during the BLM protests.

The radical experiment of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights has demonstrated that the majority of citizen voices can keep us on a better course than any top down totalitarian governance. Capricious laws can intimidate people to follow them for a period of time. Although, in the long run, resentment towards repressive laws ignites the people to react. This repetitive cycle has been witnessed repeatedly in history and is now occurring in Hong Kong.  The Chinese leader, Xi, is brutally ending the necessary freedom of the advocates of a capitalist economy.

In the United States the Coronavirus epidemic, not a police action has been used by progressive governors and local state officials to employ rules and mandates to put fear in the hearts of law-abiding citizens. Progressives are not directly employing violent methods to establish compliance but subtle fear and using mob social disapproval as enforcement. They are playing with fire when they encourage mob rule. Many of the silent majority are standing up by spontaneous personal stances all over our country and are forcing many progressive governors and officials to retract their inexplicable restrictive decrees.

These civil peaceful statements show the average American citizen will not cower to progressive policies once they realize their leader’s underhanded intentions to bypass our constitution. New Jersey Governor Murray was asked whether his arbitrary edicts were constitutional as they restricted the freedoms of the people of his state. While smiling broadly, he glibly stated, “That is above my pay grade.” Even though as governor, he swore on the Bible to uphold our constitution. These arrogant elitist statements are no longer being overlooked as they are exposing these politicians’ true distain for our Constitutional Republic.

Americans of all political stripes should demand government officials abide by our constitutional law and quit playing “tin horn” dictator with law abiding citizens while acting like wimps with out-of-control anarchists and young naïve followers tagging along for excitement and a dangerous evening “happening.”

Patriotic Americans must continue to increase standing up for our way of life or we will lose it all.
