Thoughts on Current Events

There Was No Revolution

By Pamela Geller

There was no revolution. There was no pro-Trump coup attempt. Everyone knows it.

A couple of crackpots who pranked at the Capitol are now being called a “revolution.” As if that crazy, painted-face shaman with the buffalo-horn hat was leading — what are they calling it? Ah yes, an insurrection.

There was a call by millions of Americans for election integrity. It was met with “shoot to kill” behavior and then a great purge. It wasn’t a revolution; it was more like anambush. No one is asking who gave the shoot-to-kill order or who gave the order to invite protesters into the Capitol building.

We do know that the January 6, 2021 Capitol protesters were invited in. See the video here. And here.

What we do know is that there were scores of Trump rallies attended by hundreds of thousands of people, with not one incident.

What we do know is our people are peaceful, respectful and law-abiding. What we do know is we are a subclass — “Untouchables” — who have been brutally punished at every turn, most especially this past year, by Democrat despots.

We do know is that we witnessed months of “insurrection” — burning cities, government buildings, streets, and even sometimes homes, and were told it was peaceful and necessary.That was insurrection.

We watched Democrats take over the Hart Senate Building and State Capitol buildings and were told it was beautiful. On September 24, 2018, during the Kavanaugh hearings, NARAL tweeted:

“RIGHT NOW: Large crowd of activists & allies in black are occupying the Hart Senate building to make sure our lawmakers know we will NOT be silenced. We need our senators to step up to the plate — Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination must be withdrawn. #StopKavanaugh #CancelKavanaugh”

And according to political consultant Mike Yoder, “In 1983, Susan Rosenberg planted a bomb outside the US Senate chamber to assassinate Republican senators. House Judiciary Committee Chairman @RepJerryNadler got Pres. Clinton to pardon Susan Rosenberg. She’s now a board member of Black Lives Matter Network, Inc.”

We do know that all talk of the greatest election theft in history has utterly and absolutely ceased.

There was no revolution. There was a call by the people for election integrity.

It was, it must again be emphasized, met with “shoot to kill” behavior and then a great purge. We’re all being terminated on social media. For years we warned for years as social media did this to conservatives with the courage of their convictions. The soft Right either ignored us or worse, quietly nodded in assent.

The Garland, Texas free speech event we held in Texas in May 2015 was purely in defense of free speech. But we were painted as “anti-Muslim,” “agitators,” “provocateurs,” etc. Just as the young mother shot down in the Capitol in cold blood, we were told we “had it coming.”

Overnight, the great purge began, and the CCP-Democrats haven’t even taken the reins of power yet.

The Democrat totalitarians mean to impose one-party rule. They are criminalizing political dissent as “domestic terrorism” and mean to criminalize it in ways one can only imagine (leaf through non-PC history books).

The biggest conservative voices have been exterminated on Twitter.

President Trump, his son, General Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, and a great many others have been banned from Twitter. Rush Limbaugh deleted his account in disgust. Hundreds of thousands of followers are being shaved from conservative accounts. Facebook is threatening to shut down my pages.

Even Senator Josh Hawley was cancelled. Oblivious to the irony, Simon and Schuster killed the Missouri Republican’s upcoming book, The Tyranny of Big Tech.

I chose to leave Twitter.

For years we were told, “if you don’t like it, build your own social media platform!” And we did. Parler. But the totalitarians didn’t think we actually would, so now Google and Apple have removed Parler for their platforms. But even that wasn’t enough; now Amazon is disabling Parler’s servers.

The Chief Executive Officer of Mozilla, Mitchell Baker, said in a statement that the internet needs “more than deplatforming” and that change “requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.”

Again, remember: they don’t have their grubby fingers on the levers of power yet.

Patriots who attended the protest are being hunted down like dogs, fired from their jobs, shamed in the public square.

Were there a couple of bad actors in the million-person march for America? Of course. But there were also agitators from Antifa. You’ll read nothing of that, either.

So why the desperate frenzy? They fear Trump. They fear us. But mostly because it’s an opportunity for totalitarians. It provides the context — the optics — to put down the people, as CNN and the rest of the Goebbelsesque media want to do. It is the Democrat version of the Reichstag fire.

They will force us underground. We will communicate like Germany’s “White Rose” Society (aka “Leaflets of the Resistance”).

If you think I am exaggerating, look around. I was right about it all.

The Great Purge is hardly new. It is used in all totalitarian seizures of power. Think Hitler, Stalin, Mao et al…. destroy the opposition. Crush dissent.

For now, subscribe to news curators and information disseminators you trust. Stay away from the nuts. Subscribe to the Geller Report here.

For the record, I support President Trump.

The pile-on, especially from the right, is most foul. Trump saved the right, saved the Republican party, and he delivered in spades. Trump is the greatest President in modern history. But he is more than that. He is akin to a biblical figure — Job.

Remembering “A Time for Choosing” by Ronald Reagan

Considering the chaos of the nasty political quagmire we find ourselves schlepping through every time the news comes on these days, I thought we might want to take a look back and perhaps, remember just who the heck we are as a nation.

There was a man once who said “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Some of us remember that day with tears in our eyes.

And you know what?

The wall DID come down, opening a whole world up to millions of people who had dreamed of freedom for a lifetime, yearning for that gleaming ideal. It isn’t perfect but the people get to CHOOSE.

As we seethe and boil in our skins from the infighting in our own government I hope we can step away from it for a moment to look back and remember a time when we saw things a bit more clearly.

This video is about half an hour so I hope you can find the time to make yourself something to drink and watch this for your own edification. I was awestruck at the raw truth in this mans words.

That’s it for today. I hope we can all find it in our hearts to remember that our neighbor is our neighbor. Treat each other like the brothers and sisters we are. Do something kind for someone today and you’ll feel better about your own self. Teach your kids to do the same.

Comments are welcome. Keep the faith yall!

Peace,

Time for introspection and truth

So I came across the following in my reading and it seemed profound to me.

“Putting the evidence together, it seems clear that polarization is a real, and serious phenomenon. Americans may or may not be further apart on the issues than they used to be. But clearly what divides them politically is increasingly personal, and this in many ways may be worse. We don’t just disagree politely about what is the best way to reform the health care system. We believe that those on the other side are trying to destroy America, and that we should spare nothing in trying to stop them” 1

Polarization does not just happen. It’s not the way the world works. As a population we are generally whipped up by outside forces or events into a frenzy. Hell, folks have been stirred up by influencers and steered into to rioting and burning down the countryside for a long time. For instance, in 44 BC there was a riot in Rome during the cremation of Julius Cesar that resulted in several deaths from firebrand wielding citizens. (Brutus and Cassius were killed.)

My point is this. The anger and outrage felt over the murder of George Floyd by dirty police officers is justified. The call for examination of our systems is a just and democratic one. We all believe our government should answer to the people. They are MANDATED to do so. And they must be held accountable.

Now that I’ve stated the obvious, we must remember we are a nation under the rule of law. Believe me when I say that’s a good thing. It’s why so many want to come here. We have a system that was placed to protect the rights of our citizens.  Remember the reason we broke away from the mother country was because they were grinding our god given rights into dust under the bootheels of British Regulars stationed here.

Don’t give in to the screaming voices that accuse. And accuse. And accuse.  I personally am sick of being told how terrible I am on almost all media outlets. As a matter of fact if you are a grown man and step up to me and call me a racist you should expect what comes next. I don’t mistreat others and I’ll not allow anyone to bully me. I think most of us feel the same and that’s how we raise our kids.

Bully’s are bad be they that mean kid in school or a bunch of looters. Period.

Why have we forgotten as a nation to look for the things we all have in common rather than the things that divide us? I have a strong suspicion that the narrative is being driven for others who are not friends of our nation. Have we allowed the screaming to drown out the voice of one of the greatest leaders we ever had. The voice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

My hope is that no more lives are needlessly lost as we rant and rave. Our political machine is horribly to blame for a lot of this wreckage. Don’t walk on the backs of the American people to get elected. This is sound advice and if you’re a politician looking to play the optics I would simply say to you, don’t be surprised when you find yourself being required to relocate to a little country somewhere south of the equator.

Peace, Be well.
