“The radical left under its befuddled and now forcibly defrocked leader, Joe Biden – and the new befuddled and embarrassingly silly wannabe leader, Kamala Harris, has enthusiastically endorsed crushing political dissent.”
Humankind learned the concept of manipulating or stealing the meaning of words and events with the first couple, Adam and Eve. You may recall that the great deceiver himself, clothed as a serpent, told Eve that if she ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, “you surely won’t die.” Of course, God had already warned them they surely would.
Later, their two sons were in a field, and a jealous Cain murdered his younger brother Abel, and God asked him where his brother was. Cain would’ve made a fine politician; he answered, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The millennia have passed, but the first gadget to be taken out of the toolbox of scoundrels, despots, lawyers, politicians, and such is manipulating or stealing the meaning of words to escape responsibility. Or to shape an enemy’s identity by altering the sense of a term to make its use synonymous with some deceitful characteristic or event.
The absolute best technique is to change the drama’s set pieces – to create or recreate a story line, a narrative, or a series of fictitious situations to force a specific outcome. Once the narrative is in place, it becomes difficult to undo the lies, which is the whole point.
These ancient practices are the high art form on the fascist-Marxist-Leninist arc. All through the twentieth century, beginning with Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro – it’s a very long list – up to today’s Putin and Xi, the godless totalitarians have polished the methodology of the big lie like silverware. They are hands-down the modern masters of stealing the language, agitprop, psyops, and stage-managing whole narratives.
Up is down, and down is up.
If you study the tactics of radicals, “social justice” movements, and communist brigades, you’ll notice that the go-to method for discrediting enemies is to “capture the narrative” and accuse them of doing what they are guilty of themselves. Fact and fiction are flipped inside-out, and the language becomes weaponized for political combat.
These methods’ power is such that the socialist Democrat Party – home to Jefferson Davis, the Civil War, the KKK, Bull Conner, and the folks who stood against integration and busing (including Joe Biden) have managed to flip reality on its nose over the decades. Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, and the Emancipation are labeled in a never-ending narrative as “racists” and “white supremacists.” Neither word has any real meaning now. They’re thrown out like hand-grenades to make a lot of noise and cause as much damage as possible.
The radical left under its befuddled and now forcibly defrocked leader, Joe Biden – and the new befuddled and embarrassingly silly wannabe leader, Kamala Harris, has enthusiastically endorsed crushing political dissent (and will soon be after churches and synagogues) – specifically conservatism and its promotion of Constitutional liberty and its moral order, limited government, and individual rights.
After the non-stop four-year campaign – a rolling coup – against Donald J. Trump and his defeat in a dubious election in 2020, the socialist Democrat government is in a manic fury, clearly insecure in its frail victory. They have thundered against and acted against 235 years of constitutional government with recklessness. If history proves precedent, they will soon turn to forceful coercion. It’s what radicals always do.
Listen to their language: Every Trump voter must be “reprogrammed.” Conservative media must be “de-platformed.” “Since conservative speech is hate speech and lies, freedom of speech doesn’t protect it.” “They’re Nazis.” On and on they go.
The radicals are never embarrassed by irony. For four straight years, the radicals’ mantra was “Trump is a tyrant, a dictator, a fascist, an authoritarian, destroying the Constitution.” Yet, President Trump nor any conservative, for that matter, talked like this or proposed silencing the opposition or deprogramming political enemies.
What individual “right” did the evil orange man take away in the four years of his presidency? What court did he defy? None, but that’s not the point.
Since the election of 2020 and continuing into the new election season, the “cancel culture” has morphed into the “kill culture” to destroy private lives and livelihoods. The crime is an opinion that differs from what they hope will be a “permanent” radical socialist country.
Big business has now joined the parade. Employees who attend the wrong event or champion the incorrect virtue will not just be canceled. They will be fired. These corporations can’t take a chance anymore because the new meme is that conservatives are “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists,” “insurrectionists,” and “more dangerous than ISIS.” They are no longer words of specific meaning either.
They are words of cultural warfare. Of public annihilation. The words are meant to cower, to silence half the voters. They are public enemies.
Already, the financial institutions and the IRS have been unsheathed to go after the wrong business, the wrong products, or the wrong public posture. A win for the radicals in 2024 will mean that the blade will fall harder and faster.
It started some years ago with political correctness. You couldn’t use specific terms, iterations of words and the book banning started; trading in B.C., “before Christ,” for B.C., “before the common era,” for instance, or banning Mark Twain’s classics.
Normal people laughed it off. But, suddenly it’s not too funny.
The speed with which Big Tech oligarchs and their social media monopolies, international corporations and billionaires, the corporate media-entertainment complex, elite political class, state-sponsored schools, and the vast administrative state coalesced is astonishing. It is one thing to write over the years about what the radicals would theoretically do with unchecked power, and quite another to watch it happen in real-time.
It has become an openly incestuous relationship. They don’t care that you know. Each sector relies on the other to remain in power, prominence, or profit. One functions to offer legal standing and promotion, and the other the levers of finance, money, and power.
It’s now a dangerous conglomerate of big government, big tech, big media, academia, and now joined by big business. Isn’t that the actual definition of fascist?
The consequences of the 2024 election could hardly matter more.

Wrong again. There are no longer any consequences of failure in the United States as the government, both party’s, has determined there is no failure. Everybody wins. (See President Bush 43″ no child left behind policy)If no child is to be left behind, neither can any adult be left behind. Neither Harris nor Trump can, nor will, leave office with this country a better place than it was when whichever wins leaves office. With the exception of a very, very few, the people of this country have determined it’s course, a course of total failure. Everything man does is a failure. Everything man does destructive. God will right this planet, which is now controlled by Lucifer. Man is lawless , and consumed by sin. All man’t thought’s have become evil. There is nothing you or I can do change what is going to happen.
That IS the exact definition of ‘fascist’.
