The Hallmarks of a Totalitarian State are:

 The hallmarks of a totalitarian state are:

  • The formal criminalization of dissent /political prosecutions.
  • State control media /propaganda narratives.
  • Censorship of free speech.
  • Rigged Elections
  • Erasing or rewriting history.
  • Rise of the Police State.
  • Academia/cultural Ideological Indoctrination to divide and foment revolution.
  • Destroy economy to create crisis to implement socialism.
  • Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, and domestic security agencies.
  • Rise of the surveillance state and utilizing it to punish your political enemies.
  • Stacking the Supreme Court or law of the land.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.  But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Norman Thomas

Huxley, Orwell, And The Queen would agree Totalitarianism is Here.

 The passing of a 70-year reign as monarch seems to have had the effect of freezing time the last ten days. The global collective dutifully became glued to its screens and consumed the narratives provided by the media and political class. Here in America, it was no different.

The Queen was indeed very old, but the timing of her death facilitated the diversion Globalists’ needed – look at the bright object over this shoulder and not your bank account balance or the lights flickering. And by all things holy, pay no attention to the massive destabilization of economies and nations or the mounting prospects of nuclear war.

For all the layers of significant meaning that Queen Elizabeth’s II death brought forth as a reality, perhaps the most penetrable was the sense that one had that not only were they witnessing history unfolding, but factually participating in history in the making.

Moments in time come so rarely that offer humanity such a broad scope to perform the necessary review, free of revisionism, of the last nine centuries within some context and perspective. Our handlers provided biased-soaked Cliffs Notes as talking heads rambled on… distracting from the profound events occurring. I fear few grasped the enormity, much less absorbed the lessons and foreshadowing.

Archived historical events serve both, as a canary in a coal mine snapshot, and as a diary of strategic answers to repetitive crossroads in our span of mankind. The brightest and most selfless among us used to know this and shouldered the burden of mentoring us over time. The Great Queen Elizabeth II falls in that category, in my humble opinion. The world feels adrift and lacking in courage and heroes over the recent decades, especially in the west. Hubris and apathy have filled the void.

” It’s even later than you thought” ( refer to our podcast here). Once conspiracy theories have barreled ahead to reveal our way of life, our freedoms, and our cultures are picking up speed to arrive at a destination previously only discussed in dystopian novels.

It can become overwhelming to balance oneself long enough in such a rush-long enough to gain some perspective and context which affords a deeper understanding. The hamster walks the wheel because it is in his cage – kind of autopilot has fallen over most of us now.

We all want to believe, we need to believe, that this time is no different than all the other times in our history when schisms in ideology as Americans emerged and our culture suffered growing pains only to emerge intact and faithful to our freedoms as one again.

You know the saying, “the pendulum will swing back and at the end of the day America is a mostly center-right country.” You cling to the notion that most American voters are moderate and not ideologues. But is that true anymore? Is this like every other time in our history? Will the British Monarchy return to its former heights?

Frankly, it would be naïve to examine these questions simply from the perspective of our shores only or in denial of the hard lessons history provide. ” These times” are playing out across Western Culture, not just in our homeland. The collective is on the march, and an estranged mix of hedonism and nihilism abounds as far as the eye can see and beyond.

Those working feverishly to implement the Great Reset and transition rely on the populace to remain ignorant of history, apathetic, and comfortably committed to those who would place them in bondage.

Many carved out hours of their day to watch the funeral of England’s Queen. May the pomp and pageantry against threads of humanity dating back to the ninth century -traditional and purposeful threads – inspire you to seek out the lessons of the dead canaries.

This is a 1958 interview of philosopher and author, Aldous Huxley, conducted by the late Mike Wallace of 60 minutes fame. The dialogue is a fascinating discussion on the possibility of a coming totalitarian global dictatorship based on key factors in culture and technological leaps as well as centralized government increasing. Huxley was a visionary:

Dr. Robert Malone offers insight and incredible background on Huxley, his family connections that are well worth review – read here. 

Huxley was also a mentor for George Orwell. Below is a video a few years old that examines Orwell’s thoughts on how freedom dies:

 

 

Totalitarianism is no longer in the distant future.  Read more here. Both, Biden’s red walls declaration of half the country as the enemy and domestic terrorists, and his Potemkin village-like victory lap on the economy are telltale signs we are not the Constitutional Republic we were.

The hallmarks of a totalitarian state are:

  • The formal criminalization of dissent /political prosecutions.
  • State control media /propaganda narratives.
  • Censorship of free speech.
  • Rigged Elections
  • Erasing or rewriting history.
  • Rise of the Police State.
  • Academia/cultural Ideological Indoctrination to divide and foment revolution.
  • Destroy economy to create crisis to implement socialism.
  • Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, and domestic security agencies.
  • Rise of the surveillance state and utilizing it to punish your political enemies.
  • Stacking the Supreme Court or law of the land.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.  But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Norman Thomas

Crony Capitalism is not a free market. Capitalism lifted the world out of abject poverty over the last 100 years. Just from 2001 to 2011, Capitalism helped 700 million people globally move out of poverty. Socialism allowed to run its logical course becomes communism. 100 years of unchecked communism resulted in  100 million-plus deaths.

One World Governance is just another stale old run at a communist takeover. Huxley and Orwell intuitively knew this even if elements of the ideology was attractive to them. They were canaries in a coal mine chirping until they fell silent.

The Queen knew the intrinsic value in moving the imperialism inherent in feudal societies she was born into towards liberty without destroying what was noble and righteous about the Royals’ historical threads to humanity. She was a beautiful bright yellow bird warbling until she no longer had breath.

Have you ever played the game who would you invite to your dinner party living or dead?

Imagine a dinner table debate with Huxley, Orwell and Queen Elizabeth II with many disagreements on the issues discussed. Lucky for us, archived history shows in their own words where they would align, and the dangers of technology and corruptive power are two of many.

Each would champion a good knowledge of history as imperative to a functioning culture. However I suspect they would agree wholeheartedly that a population must have free will and TRUTH versus totalitarian force and propaganda to be a thriving one.

Constitutional Republic or Submit to Tyranny


In the End, It Will Be the Decision of the American People to Fight for our Constitutional Republic or Submit to Tyranny – The Time Is Now

Guest post by Lawrence Sellen

If You Are Not Yet Convinced Of The Need For A Second American Revolution, Then Read This

The following are the annotated statements of Founding Father Samuel Adams from his article “The Rights of the Colonists” in The Report of the Committee of Correspondence to the Boston Town Meeting, Nov. 20, 1772.

“Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.”


The Biden regime, together with its allies in the World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party, consider those natural rights, not unalienable endowed by the Creator, but as privileges dispensed or withdrawn according to the convenience of the state.

Call it globalism, communism or neo-Feudalism, the intent is the same, to establish a world government by an international ruling class, who exploit the land for personal profit and rule over billions of people without liberty or property.

The usurper Biden has already declared that our rights guaranteed under the Constitution are “not absolute” and is actively in the process of eliminating them, in particular, the Second Amendment, upon which all of our other freedoms depend.

The totalitarian Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum said, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

Is the Biden regime’s ongoing deliberate demolition of the U.S. economy a North American sequel to Mao Zedong’s 1958 to 1962 Great Leap Forward, a policy that led to the deaths of up to 45 million Chinese, easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder in history?

Do Americans really want to wait to find out?

Samuel Adams also wrote:

“The Legislative has no right to absolute, arbitrary power over the lives and fortunes of the people.”

Can any American today honestly believe that Washington, D.C. represents the interests of and is accountable to the people as defined by the U.S. Constitution?

The Democrat Party has permanent control of the federal bureaucracy, which is composed of unelected officials, who have the power to comprehensively regulate our lives and punish us when we don’t comply.

The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in particular, have become political weapons against Democrat Party opponents, which has created a two-tier system of justice.

In our current de facto one-party state, Republicans play the role of court eunuchs.

The Republican Party has seceded from its voters and should be abandoned as a political vehicle capable of providing any effective opposition to the Biden regime, the Democrats, or the mainstream media. It too is a party of the ruling class and the Deep State.

Once elected, members of Congress serve only their own interests, and that of their party and its wealthy donors. Petitioning Congress for the redress of grievances is an exercise in futility.

Now that our elections have proven to be a sham and our political system has been shown to be hopelessly corrupt, Americans who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law must choose either to resist or to submit to a one-party totalitarian state.

On this July 4, 2022, we must heed the words of another Founding Father, John Adams:

“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.”

More recently, President Ronald Reagan said:

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?”

American Colonists eventually realized that freedom could only be secured by the action of those who desire it, not as an indulgence granted by distant rulers.

Likewise, there will be no restoration of our constitutional republic emanating from Washington, D.C. from where it has been systematically dismantled to sustain a system riddled with greed and corruption.

If history is any indicator, do not expect the predicted Republican “red wave” in the November mid-term elections to significantly change anything in Washington D.C.

True change can only arise bottom-up. In the end, it will be the decision of the American people to fight for our constitutional republic or submit to tyranny.

The Curious Phenomenon of Leftists sacrificing their Lives, in their R-omance with Totalitarians

WHY A “REFUGEES WELCOME” ACTIVIST WAS MURDERED BY A MUSLIM MIGRANT

Is it really still a mystery why leftists are exterminated by the totalitarian entities they worship?


Editors’ note:

totalitarian

 Sophia Löscheis now yet another leftist extinguished by the totalitarian entity she worshiped. The 28-year-old "German immigrant activist" was recently murderedby a Muslim migrant. As Robert Spencer has aptly noted, "Lösche no doubt explained to many people who questioned her work with Muslim migrants that the 'refugees' were not dangerous." In light of this latest, but very expected, murder, Frontpage has deemed it important to bring attention to this phenomenon of leftists habitually sacrificing not only others', but also their own, lives in their romance with Jihad and Sharia. We are therefore running, below, Frontpage Editor Jamie Glazov’s article, How Vittorio Arrigoni Went to Gaza Hoping to Die, from the April 18, 2011 issue of PJ Media, which unveils how and why political pilgrims perpetually shed their own blood in their dalliance with tyranny and terror.

How Vittorio Arrigoni Went to Gaza Hoping to Die.
By Jamie Glazov
Bit by bit, decorate it, arrange the details, find the ingredients, imagine it, choose it, get advice on it, shape it into a work without spectators, one which exists only for oneself, just for the shortest little moment of life.
—Michel Foucault, describing the pleasure of preparing oneself for suicide.
The Italian cheerleader for Hamas, Vittorio Arrigoni, has died at the hands of the Islamic terrorism that he venerated throughout his life. The fellow traveler journeyed to the Gaza Strip to prostrate himself before his secular deity, Hamas, and to assist its venture of perpetrating genocide against Israelis. Islamic terrorists, who call themselves “Salafists,” showed their gratitude to Arrigoni by kidnapping, mercilessly beating, and executing him.
This episode was, of course, all part of an expected script: even though the media and our higher literary culture never discuss the reasons, the historical record reveals one undeniable fact: like thousands of political pilgrims before him, Vittorio Arrigoni went to Gaza to die. Indeed, consciously or unconsciously, in their unquenchable quest for sacrificing human life on the altar of their utopian ideals, fellow travelers always lust for death, and if not the death of others, then of their own.
It is no coincidence that a short while before “Salafists” killed Arrigoni, Juliano Mer-Khamis, a cheerleader of terrorism in Israel who, like Arrigoni, dedicated his life to praising the Palestinian death cult and working for the annihilation of Israel, was murdered by Islamic terrorists in Jenin. It is no coincidence that Rachel Corrie, the infamous enabler of the International Solidarity Movement, a group that disrupts anti-terrorism activities of the Israel Defense Forces, committed suicide in protecting Hamas terrorists by throwing herself in front of an Israeli bulldozer. And it is no coincidence that female leftist “peace” activists are routinely raped, brutalized, and enslaved by the Arabs of Judea and Samaria that they come to aid and glorify in their Jew-hating odyssey against Israel. And don’t hold your breath, by the way, waiting for leftist feminists to protest this phenomenon; they are faithfully following in the footsteps of American fellow traveler Anna Louise Strong and the Stalinist German writer Bertolt Brecht, two typical leftist believers who were completely undisturbed by the arrests and deaths of their friends in the Stalinist purges -- having never even inquired about them after their disappearance.
Beneath the leftist believer’s veneration of the despotic enemy lies one of his most powerful yearnings: to submit his whole being to a totalist entity. This psychological dynamic involves negative identification, whereby a person who has failed to identify positively with his own environment subjugates his individuality to a powerful, authoritarian entity, through which he vicariously experiences a feeling of power and purpose. The historian David Potter has succinctly crystallized this phenomenon:
. . . most of us, if not all of us, fulfill ourselves and realize our own identities as persons through our relations with others; we are, in a sense, what our community, or as some sociologists would say, more precisely, what our reference group, recognizes us as being. If it does not recognize us, or if we do not feel that it does, or if we are confused as to what the recognition is, then we become not only lonely, but even lost, and profoundly unsure of our identity. We are driven by this uncertainty into a somewhat obsessive effort to discover our identity and to make certain of it. If this quest proves too long or too difficult, the need for identity becomes psychically very burdensome and the individual may be driven to escape this need by renouncing his own identity and surrendering himself to some seemingly greater cause outside himself.
This surrender to the totality involves the believer’s craving not only to relinquish his individuality to a greater whole but also, ideally, to sacrifice his life for it. Lusting for his own self-extinction, the believer craves martyrdom for the idea. As Eric Hoffer points out in his classic The True Believer, the opportunity to die for the cause gives meaning to the believer’s desire to shed his inner self: “a substitute embraced in moderation cannot supplant and efface the self we want to forget. We cannot be sure that we have something worth living for unless we are ready to die for it.”
Thus, Vittorio Arrigoni, Juliano Mer-Khasin, and Rachel Corrie were simply just faithfully continuing the long suicidal tradition of their political faith. We are well aware, after all, of the dark fate of the believers who journeyed to Russia after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to build communism; we are well versed of what happened to the leftist Iranians who returned to their country after the 1979 Iranian Revolution to aid Khomeini in building the Islamic paradise. Only those who cannot accept the true motivations of utopian believers can still deny what those political pilgrims were searching for in their odyssey to shed themselves of their own unwanted selves.
Does one need to excessively explain why “progressive” feminist Naomi Klein called out for bringing “Najaf to New York” in her infamous 2004 column in The Nation, in which she reached her hand out in solidarity to Muqtada al-Sadr and his Islamofascist Mahdi Army in the Iraqi Shi’ite stronghold of Najaf? Bringing Najaf to New York would mean that the Iraqi Shi’ite stronghold, where Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army at one time ran their torture chambers and sowed their terror, would be replicated on America’s shores. What could Naomi Klein possibly see admirable in the vicious nihilistic terror of the Mahdi Army? Would she remain alive for more than sixty seconds upon contact with it?
Is it possible that Klein’s impulses are related to those of Noam Chomsky, a Jew, who has distinguished himself, among other intriguing ways, by traveling to Lebanon to personally embrace the leaders of Hezbollah, whose stated top priority is to rid the world of Jews?
The murder by Iraqi terrorists of American hostage Tom Fox in March 2006 was a perfect example of this pathological phenomenon. Fox was among four members of the leftist group Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) who were kidnapped by Islamic terrorists in Iraq in November 2005. Aside from voicing support for the terrorists, one of the group’s most powerfully articulated themes entailed the longing for death. In the 1984 speech, “God’s People Reconciling,” for example, which gave rise to the formation of the Christian Peacemaker Teams, Mennonite minister Ron Sider urged his listeners: “We must be prepared to die by the thousands.”
It is not unsurprising that when British and American troops rescued the other three CPT hostages and saved their lives, the freed captives refused to thank their liberators — who had risked their own lives participating in the rescue — or to cooperate in a critical debriefing session with intelligence officers. Doug Pritchard, the co-chairman of CPT, went out of his way to tell the world that the kidnapping itself (and by implication Fox’s murder) was America’s fault, not the kidnappers’ or the executioners’. “The illegal occupation of Iraq by multinational forces,” he affirmed, was the “root cause” of the kidnappings. In other words, the devil made them do it.
The freed captives resented the fact that they had been liberated by the very forces they despised. And the rescuers had robbed the remaining hostages of the idealized fate suffered by Fox. Jan Benvie, an Edinburgh teacher who was getting ready to go to Iraq with the group in the summer of 2006, learned the lesson well. She announced before her departure: “We make clear that if we are kidnapped we do not want there to be force or any form of violence used to release us.”
To the end of his life, the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who supported and adored Khomeini’s killing fields, adamantly defended "everyone's right to kill himself." Suicide, he boastfully wrote in a 1979 essay, was "the simplest of pleasures." Is it a coincidence that Foucault, who had attempted to kill himself several times out of guilt feelings regarding his homosexuality, passionately supported an Islamic death cult that murdered homosexuals?
Gaza terrorists have a long history of kidnapping and abusing, raping and killing those who come to aid and abet them.
Vittorio Arrigoni knew that very well.
In the end, Arrigoni’s story is the story of the Left -- a story best summarized by the dictum of Goethe’s devil, which Marx perpetually invoked, as he did in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon: “All that exists deserves to perish.”
Arrigoni is the contemporary poster boy for the political pilgrims who traveled to despotisms to help build the paradises in which they hoped to shed themselves of their own unwanted selves.  They paid the ultimate price. And no lesser cost must be paid for the momentous transformation of sterilizing the unclean earth. Such disinfection can be made possible only by the purifying power of human blood — blood which, in the utopian enterprise, must, in the final chapter, become one’s own.
