Think The Unthinkable

Ray DiLorenzo





As a baby boomer, I was reared by parents that respected authority.  They were parents of The Great Depression.  My grandparents saw the Brooklyn Bridge  being completed (or as my Italian grandmother would say...Brookalino) and were grateful and proud to be new Americans. They knew adversity and heartbreak. They laughed and they cried having lost two of their six children from disease, their eldest daughter to the Spanish Flu at 19, their youngest son from kidney disease at 14, their father (the grandfather I never knew) from an accident on their farm in Northern New Jersey.   

They taught us to respect authority, and we did, but, like many of our generation, with a healthy skepticism.  Maybe because we were so much more educated (we weren't pre-occupied with putting food on the table). We knew of our founding fathers, demanding and fighting to the death, for what they were denied...our God-given natural rights to freedom, self-defense, personal property, free speech, shaping our own future.

Thinking the unthinkable is something we all avoid, forcefully put aside, being unwilling to deal with any ugly truth.  It is hard.  It's especially hard for what is on the news.  Too many people turn it off, or change the channel.  As a writer of current events, I don't have that luxury.  I live with it, suffer with it, deal with it, and hopefully give readers the benefit of time spent in digging, reporting and analyzing. 

Although this article is read in twenty different countries, most of us are proud Americans.  Many of us have bled, watched as others died for this country and much of the world.  We're not perfect and never thought we could be.

And here we are 246 years into the life of our nation, with many of us now thinking the unthinkable.  Could it be that the country we paid a steep price to protect, even took for granted, has turned against us?  It's not just here, but around the world.  Western Civilization is crumbling.

No country or Axis power could defeat the United States and its allies so now we are compelled to commit suicide?

A cabal of godless Globalist Elites have decided, without a vote, without authority, endorsement, consent, or even scientific consensus, to terminate our way of life.  Like Satan himself, they turn God's law inside out, giving the planet dominion over us instead of the other way around.  These 'experts' spent years coming up with warnings of pandemics, climate change, environmental catastrophe, and economic reasons why we are unworthy to continue as such with their constant bogus predictions.  A sample from the experts:



1966: Oil will be gone in 10 years. 

1967: Famine by 1975.

1969  We will all disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989 (Paul Ehrlich).

1969: World-wide plague, ecological catastrophe by end of 20th century.

1970: Oceans dead in a decade, food rationing by 1980.

1970: Natural resource depletion

1971: An ice age will hit us by 2000.

1972: Oil depletion by 1992.

1972: Urban citizens will require gas masks by 1985.

1974: We will have ozone depletion.

1975: A cooling world and drastic decline in food production.

1976: 'Scientific consensus' that famine is imminent.

1977: Oil will peak by 1990s (Department of Energy)

1980: Oh my God, acid rain!

1988: Rising sea levels will obliterate nations by 2000.

1988: Maldive Islands will be underwater by 2018 (they are still there).

1989: Nations wiped off the planet by 2000 from global warming (UN).

1996: Oil will be gone in 2020.

2002: Famine if we don't give up meat, fish, and dairy.

2004: Britain will be Siberia by 2024.

2005: Manhattan will be underwater by 2015.

2008: The Arctic will be ice free by 2018.

2009: Prince Charles says we have 96 months to save the planet.

2009: The UK Prime Minister disagrees, says we have 50 days.

2009: Al Gore moves his prediction of an ice-free Arctic from 2013 to 2019.

2014: We have 500 days to avoid climate chaos (John Kerry, Jay Carney, French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius).

Other 'experts':

2019 We have eight or nine years to address climate change (Bernie Sanders) 2021-present:  Dr. Anthony Fauci: "The vaccine is safe and effective and will prevent you from getting COVID".  It is neither.

Joe Biden: “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”

 

Do you see a pattern emerging?

 

The only way we are going to see plague is if they create it...they have.  The only way we are going to see famine is if they create it...they're doing it.  The only way there is going to be a shortage of oil and energy is by not producing it...they're not!   Why did we go from energy independence to energy dependence in just a few months? Why, when we have more oil in the Dakotas and Montana than all of the Middle East. Why are Dutch farmers being shut down, one of the largest exporters of food products?  People will be cold this winter, food will be expensive and no longer plentiful, and gas and diesel will be expensive because these criminals are making it so. They want power, money and control.  People are at the bottom of their priorities. Chaos and fear is their stock and trade.  They need it.  They feed off it.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's moronic regulation of no internal combustion vehicle sales by the middle of next decade shows how irrational he and his ilk are.  Truth is, fossil fuels will be with us for a long time to come.  We will never run out.  Newsom doesn't even have the power grid to handle EV battery charging, having restricted charging to several hours a day.  When the technology is there, we will make the appropriate changes, not rushing to deny food, fuel, warmth, and freedom of movement to anyone in a premature blitz. 

When are we going to stop listening to these fools and put these charlatans to bed?  What happened to that healthy skepticism of our generation?  Gift yourself with some critical thinking.  These people are liars! Nations, multi-national corporations, pharmaceutical companies, the healthcare industry, the media, the UN, The IMF, The WHO, governments around the world (including our present government) have bought into this fraud, this treachery, led by the World Economic Forum with promises of power and money.  They are now all complicit in the greatest crime against humanity in history....I know, unthinkable, but there it is.

The entire environmental and climate push is a hoax!

We have made great strides in environmental science without the scare tactics, without the threats of doom or the pick-pocketing of every tax-payer. 

I say this, especially to governors...think the 10th Amendment.  Put your state up front.  If you need energy, produce it.  If you need food, grow it.  Do not sit back and watch the federal government or globalist sociopaths bring our country and your state to its knees.  Biden and Obama are continuing their quest to fundamentally change America.

Start thinking the unthinkable. They are using your trust in them against you.  Stop giving in to their chaos and stop living in fear!    We can, and must, stop this.

The Real Threat to Democracy

The Emerging Democrat Police State


 
Ray DiLorenzo


Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia made headlines nationwide on February 3, 2014, after bluntly telling law students at the University of Hawaii that internment camps to detain Americans would eventually return. Acknowledging that the infamous Supreme Court-approved internment of Japanese-Americans in wretched camps during World War II was wrong, the conservative-leaning justice followed up by adding that “you are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again.” In “times of war,” Scalia said, citing a Latin expression attributed to Cicero, “the laws fall silent.” 

I have seen some of those camps and they WERE wretched.  Justice Scalia was responding to a question concerning the internment of Japanese-Americans during WW2.  Scalia simply referred to a Supreme Court decision in 1944, Korematsu v. United States, that upheld the internment.  The case involved two Japanese-Americans that failed to report for internment. 

Scalia believed that in a 'time of war' the United States would round up citizens and place them in detention camps.  Scalia also referred to Obama that claimed he had the power to secretly murder US citizens without trial.

What is a 'time of war' and are we living in an emerging police state?  There was a time when wars were declared by Congress not by presidents. General Douglas MacArthur complained that the 'Korean Conflict" was half war with no clear road to victory, saying..."There is no substitute for victory."  Soldiers who died were not half dead.  They were just dead.  How many wars have we fought with no declaration of war?...the Korean war, Vietnam War, the War on Terror, including the Iraq War, Afghanistan, the Gulf War, all totaling 102,000 dead soldiers, and 208,000 wounded.  That is a lot of dead and wounded for 'peacetime.'

We have made war much too easy and much too prolonged.  We start a conflict and never seem to want to end it.  And when we do end it, we find we have gained little or nothing and lost much.  Of course, the military industrial complex is happy, as President Eisenhower warned would be.

Now we live in a time when politics dictates war.  Our president talks repeatedly of White Supremacy, domestic terrorism.  Where is all of this white supremacy?  Is just being White domestic terrorism?  Has our government 'declared' war on its own people, its political opponents?

The early signs of a police state are here:  weaponizing government institutions against political opponents, The FBI, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security.  We now lack election security.  Major media outlets drone the government narrative.  We've lost free speech.  The government encourages the spying on neighbors, presidential executive orders are in abundance, cameras are everywhere, there's a war on everything...drugs, terror, COVID-19 that they say require emergency powers, loss of privacy, and prison camps.  Yes, prison camps. During the Obama administration $400 million was given to Haliburton to build detention centers.  Obama was quoted as saying they were being built for 'prolonged detention' of those that might commit acts of terrorism.

Did the early release of thousands of prisoners in the last several years make room for political prisoners? 

Precedent is a powerful tool in government.  What may or may not have been appropriate decades ago can still be used for something totally inappropriate today. The internment of Japanese-Americans was indeed inappropriate, but it can be used to conduct detention today.  The Biden administration has repeatedly announced that our greatest enemy is home-grown domestic terrorism and White supremacy.  Who are these terrorists?... political opponents, Trump supporters, Republicans?

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden has described the GOP as not only  dangerous, but contemptible.  Just over a week ago, Democrat adviser, Kurt Bardella called all Republicans a "domestic terrorist cell."  A writer for The Atlantic, likened the Republican Party to a “dagger pointed at the throat of American democracy.”  Numerous Democrats and news media personalities have accused Republicans and Trump supporters as being a 'threat to our democracy.'  FBI Director Christopher Wray likened the American "Don't Tread On Me" flag as being suspect of violent extremism. One would think a president is an arbiter of political sides, but Biden calls the MAGA movement semi-fascism.  Is this language healthy in the democracy they pretend to want to protect?  What is to stop them from declaring open war on their political opposition?  Have they done it already?  Is civil war on their agenda?

The Dems built up the Jan 6 demonstration to sky-high levels.  All it took to turn a peaceful demonstration against itself was to turn down the offer by President Trump for additional security, have only 25% of the Capitol Police force on duty in and around the Capitol, open the doors of the Capitol building inviting the demonstrators in, put a bunch of BLM and Antifa anarchists into the crowd to stir things up, and shoot a protestor to show calamity.  And there you have it, a wall around the capitol, thousands of troops to underline the 'danger to democracy', and dozens of people languishing in prison without trial, with some dying by suicide.

In a side note, it has been revealed that the Capitol Police Department was warned in an internal memo that BLM hoodlums, dressed as Trump supporters were being bussed in from Baltimore. FreedomWatch

The Democrats tried legislation.  They passed a bill in the House (223-203), The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.  Republicans did block it in the Senate with a 47 - 47 vote, failing to gather the 60 votes needed to pass. 

In the mean-time, Democrats are working hard to intervene in Republican primaries, pouring money into candidates they feel can lose to Democrats in the general. The two parties did try to come up with measures that would make elections more secure, but failed to do so.  It seems the only measure that Democrats would agree to was a federal takeover of elections...totally unconstitutional...nothing new for Democrats. I can only imagine their proposals...eliminate the electoral college, more ballots boxes, mail-in voting, no ID required...everything they depend on to win.

Politics is like a sporting event... you win some, you lose some.  But, what if one political party is no longer willing to lose?

Who is the real threat to democracy or more accurate, who is the real threat to our constitutional republic? 

So, are we at war and do we indeed now have a police state?  It depends on what the Democrats want and can't get through legitimate means.  Democrats are determined to transform this nation into a one-party socialist police state any way they can.  This is not politics as usual.

Truly.  I do miss him.  His humor, his optimism, his outstanding analysis.  Mostly his optimism.  Not just that the criminal democrats are just about to go to jail (like Hannnity constantly says) but his optimism that we can indeed prevail against evil and that everyone can go together into a bright future.  These days I see nothing but evil and darkness in the future.  His bright light really gave me hope.

I can see covid is becoming another fake goal (to eradicate it) that we will never reach but we must do massive social and economic harm to ourselves in the futile attempt. It will never happen. It is here to stay, like colds and flu.

What are some others? Unreachable goals but we turn ourselves inside out trying to reach?

* eliminate addiction and drug abuse
* stop the extinction of all non-human species
* stop climate change
* end all human prejudice (except against white straight males and any minority not woke)
* achieve economic equality of outcome (for the masses, not the elite)

Of course, the massive harm done to society trying to achieve these unreachable goals doesn’t include the elite class. They still have their mansions, jets, riches, parties without masks, drugs without consequences and openly hate others for their politics or the color of their skin, and now, their vaccination status.

Anyone care to speculate how fast they will 25th him and install Kamala?

Actually it would be faster to just Clintonize him.

 And there lies the dilemma .  The democrat communist never plan anything out beyond their fantasies.  Now they are faced with a collapsed Biden administration which is collapsing into deeper and deeper chaos hourly, and no clear way out.

 These dumbasses placed Kamala on the ticket based on fantasy and not reality.   Now she is on the ship going down as well, and the next in line is a drunken power crazy old hag that's the speaker of the house.  Just goes bad to worse.

 Don't doubt for a minute that behind closed doors their are negotiations and frantic people right this moment trying to figure a way out of this.   Ultimately it will fall to a negotiated agreement.

 The next few days Afghanistan is going into further chaos, and the foreign media  is not holding back.  If another shoe drops it's going to get even more chaotic.

Because we should run our legal system on quasi proof? 

Example of what I hear from the right - The trucks delivered boxes and we KNOW the boxes contained illegal ballots, so Biden really lost and you have to put Trump in office instead.

Did I just misstate the argument?  Can you fill in any holes?  Tell me what I didn't say because the pieces of that sentence don't hold up.
Yes, you massively misstated this. You are either intentionally trolling or just being intentionally ignorant of the facts.

We are not saying “you have to put Trump in office instead.”  That ship has sailed. What we ARE saying is that given an extraordinary amount of substantial evidence that problems occurred, problems that could have swayed the election, these accusations should be investigated, and not swept under the rug, which is PRECISELY what courts across the country have done.

In Wisconsin alone, courts said initially that Trump republicans couldn’t challenge voting law changes made by an unelected commission absent proof of fraud, and then AFTER the election, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Hagedorn, who ran as a constructionist but has ruled as an activist, said Trump was too late to challenge the results.

Heads I win, tails you lose. Is that justice?

People like you are saying no convictions = no proof.  As if convictions could happen within 60 days of the election.

We are saying investigate, investigate, investigate. You are saying STOP IT, NO PROOF.
