The Evolution of the American Police State

By Rich Kozlovich 

In this list of articles below there are three fundamental values discussed I've touted for years.  First, "emergencies" create the justification for tyranny.  America's entry into WWI was most assuredly one of them, and the reason why Wilson was called America's first fascist President.  But he actually wasn't. Lincoln was.  No one had ever overturned the Constitution like Lincoln did during the Civil War, at least  until Wilson during WWI.  This false covid pandemic is another "emergency" that was used to do so, and so too will the false claims about global warming.  

Secondly, we should ask ourselves why is it countries formally controlled by monarchs were so easily taken over and controlled by communist tyrants?  That's the easiest answer of them all.  The foundational social paradigm of these societies is those at the top to all the thinking, issue all the commands, and every one else just obeys.    Does it really matter what they're called? 

Third, America is different because America was created from the bottom up, not the top down, and the foundational social paradigm in America is....we don't like being told what to do, even when falling for the "crisis of the moment" Americans have always reverted to that foundational principle.  At least in the past.  All that's happening is an effort to end that forever, and overturn the Constitution and imposing a tyrannical socialist state, under a system of world governance controlled by the most corrupt and incompetent organization ever known, the United Nations. 

Third, the foundational moral values of America are predicated on Judaic/Christian ethics, and it that's abandoned, the nation's doomed.  

The War on Marriage Must End - By Sep. 20, 2023 - I woke up earlier this week to two depressing articles that, on the surface, seem unrelated but are actually connected. They both speak to the existence of a war on marriage in our culture that will destroy the fabric of our country if not dealt with. This is a war that surfaced ideologically in the early years of the Soviet Union in a way oddly similar to a primitive version of the current “woke” movement but was soon withdrawn as impractical even there......

The Evolution of the American Police State - September 20, 2023 By Steve McCann - With the unconscionable persecution of the January 6th protesters, the unabashed government censorship of speech, the weaponization of federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the egregious abuse of presidential executive orders and emergency declarations, the American police state is no longer a hypothetical possibility but an increasingly indisputable reality.

While imperceptibly evolving over many decades, the emergence of the American police state was significantly accelerated with the overreaction to the September 11, 2001 terror attack. Even more important was the Covid 19 pandemic that dramatically increased the momentum toward a police state as once a people are terrorized it is easy to impose a police state on them.

When societies lose their freedom, it is not ordinarily because autocrats or tyrants have forcibly taken it away. It is usually the result of the population willingly surrendering their freedom in return for protection against an external threat. While the threat is oftentimes real it is invariably exaggerated..........

Communism, Fascism, Globalism — What's the Difference?  By J.B. Shurk - Monarchy: A system of government where supreme power is vested in a single genetic lineage — a dictatorship passed through family inheritance. Communism: A system of government in which the State plans and controls the economy and a single, authoritarian party holds power — a dictatorship of the proletariat. Fascism: A system of government marked by the centralization of authority under a dictator in which an economy is subject to stringent governmental controls and political opposition is violently suppressed. Globalism: A system of government marked by the elimination of national sovereignty and the centralization of authority within international organizations such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Economic Forum — all run by a small group of wealthy elites. Monarchy, communism, fascism, globalism — what's the difference? ............

We Don't Need Them -- They Need Us - By AOF -  When one thinks about the benefits provided by our local, state, and federal government our daily lives, what comes to mind?  What do we get as taxpaying U.S. citizens? Many do not think of taxes in terms of the return on our investment as Americans. When taxes are thought of in those terms, it seems like a very bad deal.  It appears that taxes, fees, and fines are never reduced, but the quality of the service is. Why do we accept that?............Over the last couple of generations, We, the People have relinquished our freedoms and have given them to our elected and non-elected leaders and to the governmental process in which we have misplaced our trust and faith. They have been careless, reckless, and irresponsible with our money. We do not need them.  They need us..............

Without core values and bedrock principles, we are doomed - September 20, 2023 By Robert Arvay - "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well, I have others."—Groucho Marx.........While funny, the joke (as so much humor does) points to a tragic reality.  A house built upon shifting sand cannot endure the storms of life, while a house built upon solid rock can (see Matt. 7:24-27).  Lives guided by moral relativism will bring ruin and have been doing so for a long time. The modern, real-life parables of this truth are many.  The sad tale of Chloe Cole, or more precisely, that of her parents, is but one example.  Deceived by false counsel, they sent their temporarily gender-confused daughter to so-called "gender-affirming" surgery, which irreversibly mutilated her with a double-mastectomy and hormones.  Miss Cole later decided to "de-transition" and present herself as the girl she is, but much life-altering damage had already been done. Being the father of a daughter myself, I could not help but wonder what possessed the now remorseful parents to consent to such a travesty.  And being no paragon of virtue or moral strength myself — not by a long shot — I must be careful to avoid the hypocrisy which the great author of parables Himself so despised.  What would I have done in their place?..............

Funny how those COVID causes of death have dropped off - By Monica Showalter September 19, 2023 - As if there were not enough scandals with COVID and its horrendous mismanagement by the government, Steven Hayward of Power Line has found yet another one: a causal link between whether "COVID" was listed as a cause of death or a contributing factor and federal funding dollars. He has a chart on Power Line, showing the steep drop in deaths due to COVID, or with COVID as an underlying factor, which spanned from March 2020 to February 2022, the first part of the COVID pandemic.  Then the line on the chart continues, steeply dropping as from a cliff as of March 2022 to May 2023. See the chart here. And why did people suddenly stop dying of COVID?................

UN globalists descend upon Gotham City for crisis talks as ‘progress’ of Sustainable Development Goals backslides - September 19, 2023 By Olivia Murray - As they say, life imitates art, and this Hollywood production just became reality; yesterday, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and an entourage of fellow globalists descended on the real Gotham City to devise a “plan” because frankly, their old one doesn’t seem to be working out that well. Guterres is Cobblepot, and the attending figureheads at the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals Summit are Cobblepot’s villainous collaborators—the similarities are striking...........This year’s two-day event comes at the midpoint of the Agenda 2030 scheme, which officially began on January 1, 2016. According to a summary statement posted to the organization’s website: But the Agenda is a promise, not a guarantee. At the halftime mark, the promise is in deep peril. For the first time in decades, development progress is reversing… Then, in an address delivered before the attendees yesterday, Guterres said, “Today, only 15% of the targets are on track, with many going into reverse,” and issued a call for a “global rescue plan” to pull the SDGs back from the brink of uncertainty..............

Climate Cult High Priests Increasingly Rule the World - By Sep. 20, 2023 - For decades, claims that human-caused climate change is rapidly destroying the earth have been preached with the authority of sacred Scripture by true believers, a vast group that includes virtually the entire “mainstream media,” Big Tech, Democrats, some scientists, and academia from preschool through grad school.  And of course, all globalists. Al Gore, at a recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, preached a fire-and-brimstone sermon, assuring the faithful that climate change is indeed decimating planet earth. “That’s what’s boiling the oceans,” he railed, his voice rising to a fever pitch, “creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees!”............

Biden: Accelerate the Climate Crisis! - September 19, 2023 — John Hinderaker It has gotten to the point where Joe Biden can’t make a public appearance without embarrassing himself–and, worse, us. Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly this morning, Biden stressed the need to “accelerate the climate crisis.” He then caught himself and went on to spin a web of falsehoods: Biden retailed the usual climate myths: Noting “record breaking” heatwaves in the US and China, along with wildfires in America and............. 

Becoming 'A Country I Do Not Recognize' - Star Parker Sep 20, 2023 - If there is one overriding theme of the Biden years, it is the systematic degradation of American freedom, pushing the lives and freedom of private citizens aside as government expands and takes over. This is done under the rubric of the left that "government knows best." Day by day, we are becoming what the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia described as "a country I do not recognize."  In a new paper published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, Casey Mulligan, professor of economics at the University of Chicago and former chief economist of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, estimates the current and future costs of new regulations imposed so far by the Biden administration as close to $10,000 per household.................
