Twas Ever Thus

The Extreme Tyranny Today Has Been Caused by Mass Voluntary Compliance: What We Face Today Is Pure, Unadulterated, Totalitarian Madness, as the People of This Country Remain Indifferent

True friends of liberty... ought constantly to be on the alert to prevent the power of government from lightly sacrificing the private rights of individuals to the general execution of its designs. At such times no citizen is so obscure that it is not very dangerous to allow him to be oppressed; no private rights are so unimportant that they can be surrendered with impunity to the caprices of a government... [because] men accustom themselves to sacrifice private interest without scruple and to trample on the rights of individuals in order more speedily to accomplish any public purpose." It has been said of Alexis de Tocqueville that “no authority on America has equaled him in prophetic vision.” When we view how much political determination, in which “the ever increasing despotism of the majority…makes every eye turn to the state,” has displaced freedom, it is hard to disagree. 

The centrality of liberty to Democracy in America can be encapsulated by two of its key statements: “[Citizens’] chief business…is to remain their own masters,” recognizing that “to neglect to hold [liberty] fast is to allow it to escape.” Americans desperately need to heed his insights again. https://fee.org/articles/alexis-de-tocqueville-15-quotes-on-democracy-and-liberty/

Mass lockdowns were mandated, causing most in this country to become prisoners in their own homes, an abandonment of family, friends, and neighbors, and massive increases in suicide.

Businesses were ordered to shut down, employees were sent home with no way to support themselves or their families. Instant ghost towns were created, as economic disaster loomed large.

Supply lines were shut down, the delivery of goods was extremely limited, and of course inventories were decimated.

Very dangerous mask wearing became universally accepted by the collective hordes of weak-minded citizens, as the state-sponsored businesses allowed to stay open, became immediately obedient to state bosses, and acted as their own police state in demanding compliance by the pathetic indoctrinated population.

All this led to poverty, famine, immoral behavior, state-supported riots, state racist antagonism meant to divide, looting, property destruction, and hatred.

This was used as an excuse to further enslave the public, by creating out of thin air trillions of dollars meant to enrich the richest at the expense of the common man. The lowly masses were given government stipends in the form of small checks, extra unemployment, (paid off to stay home and not work) and medical care became very scarce, unless the weak and old could be murdered to help advance the fear of a fake virus.

To enhance the economic destruction, all schools were shut down at a time when this population either needed or wanted to have multiple incomes. It had become necessary for most that both parents work outside the home in order to survive or get the ‘things’ they needed and desired most. Now, with businesses closed, the school babysitting service eliminated, prices rising, and bills stacking up, families were being torn apart; this just as planned.

With all the printing of fake money, inflation took hold, and eventually became almost impossible to deal with, given that so many in this country live hand to mouth, dependent week to week on a paycheck. Stress and depression were only accelerated in a time of great strife. Housing and rent prices doubled, while incomes were either stagnant, vastly decreased, or eliminated entirely. Food shortages, energy disruption, including historically high fuel prices ran rampant, as the quality and quantity of food was severely harmed.
