- Suppression of free speech – Testifying at a House hearing yesterday our Attorney General acknowledged during questioning that he, the DOJ, and the President consulted only with the teacher’s union and then put forth the memo requested by the union that essentially condemns parents who speak up at a school board meeting in opposition to the union policies and especially to the teaching of the racist CRT. The idea that such concerned parents might be called domestic terrorists certainly has a chilling effect on their ability to speak out no matter how much the AG tries to talk his way around it.
- Intimidation and cancelling of ideas not aligned with the Left – Includes inconsistent application of laws, demands that people embrace – not just tolerate - ideas (including such things as gender fluidity or necessity of 2-year-olds wearing masks) that are not supported by science or other civil necessity.
- Loss of privacy – the White House, allegedly to prevent IRS fraud by the rich, wants to have access to bank accounts with any transaction of over $600. Most people who work and have paychecks deposited, or who pay a mortgage will have transactions of that amount on a monthly basis and hence have their personal financial transactions open for government inspection.
- Economic disasters – Job reports falling well below expectations, gas prices at a seven-year high, inflation at a 30-year high and continuing to rise, food prices up along with costs of housing, energy, and other essentials, interest rates likely to increase. The economy is failing, and the middle class are the ones who will suffer most from its failure.
- Supply chain problems – meanwhile the Secretary of Transportation is on leave since August and has not left a specified point person in charge.
- International standing – plummeting. The Afghanistan pullout was a complete embarrassment and a huge hit to America’s reputation. China outpacing us with development and successful test of a hypersonic missile (made in part using US technology).
- Military and law enforcement – Afghanistan. Disrespect for military and police; focus on inclusion and equity rather than readiness
- Coronavirus – Cases continue to rise. Mandates eviscerate the idea of personal choice when the science behind vaccine and covid is still being discovered. Meanwhile Biden policies and mandates result in firing of essential workers, leaving them without jobs, pensions, etc, and the people whom they serve without service.
- The border – Migrant encounters at the border are at a 21 year high. The Biden administration has effectively created open borders. Children are living in overcrowded cages and are flown around the country in the middle of the night. Drug and child trafficking are up. Single adult males account for about 2/3 of the crossings. Migrants are released into the interior with only a request that they return for a hearing. The President says he has been too busy to visit the border, yet he has taken any number of vacations.
- Corruption and lack of transparency – run rampant in this White House. Questions are not answered or are answered with falsehoods. Investigations of possible corruption or unethical behavior are suppressed. Even the Attorney General himself refused to have evaluated the ethics of his involvement in the threat to parents about opposing CRT at school boards despite his association via son-in-law with a firm that benefits significantly from schools using CRT.
- Biden and his administration – blame everyone else for the problems, refusing to take responsibility for anything. Biden ignores the idea of rule of law when he does such things as judge border agents guilty when accused of whipping illegal border crossers, even when the evidence shows it didn’t happen. The Administration becomes more and more authoritarian every day. And, like other authoritarian governments, while they make many rules to govern every aspect of citizen’s lives, those rules are not applied to themselves. Also, like most authoritarian governments, they are intent upon silencing any opposition to their policies and their power.
Bolshevism (from Bolshevik) is a revolutionary Marxist
current of political thought and political regime associated with the formation
of a rigidly centralized, cohesive and disciplined party of social revolution,
focused on overthrowing the existing capitalist state system, seizing power and
establishing the "dictatorship of the proletariat". It originally referred to Russian communists,
but now the term is used more generally for those who support such views and
policies.
I find it hard not to characterize most of the activity of Biden and the Left as intent upon overthrowing and totally changing what we call America. Thus, those who support such activity can easily be termed Bolsheviks.
Actually, Russian President Vladimir Putin put it well
earlier this week in a speech to the International Valdai Discussion Group in
Sochi. Whatever else you may think of
Putin, as former KGB he understands revolution, communism, and communist
suppression. Here are some of the more
relevant parts of his speech:
The advocates of
so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind
of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go
right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions
are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has
been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the
dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and
customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human
morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old
values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total
rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones –
all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around
the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the
Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.
This, I believe,
should call to mind some of what we are witnessing now. Looking at what is
happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to see the domestic
practices, which we, fortunately, have left, I hope, in the distant past. The
fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive
dogmatism bordering on absurdity, when the works of the great authors of the
past – such as Shakespeare – are no longer taught at schools or universities,
because their ideas are believed to be backward. The classics are declared
backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood memos
are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what
colour or gender should be in a movie. This is even worse than the agitprop
department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Countering acts of
racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned
it into ‘reverse discrimination’ that is, reverse racism. The obsessive
emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil
rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide
people by skin colour. . . .
In a number of
Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a
perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned
to go – not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more
step and you will be there.
Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether. Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracised. “Parent number one” and “parent number two,” “'birthing parent” instead of “mother,” and “human milk” replacing “breastmilk” because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender. I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturtraegers also invented some newspeak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. And, as I have already said, they made such a mess it still makes one shudder at times.
. . . .
Again, for us in Russia, these are not some speculative postulates, but lessons from our difficult and sometimes tragic history. The cost of ill-conceived social experiments is sometimes beyond estimation. Such actions can destroy not only the material, but also the spiritual foundations of human existence, leaving behind moral wreckage where nothing can be built to replace it for a long time.
I do encourage you to read the entire speech which can be found here: LINK
I wonder if in 1917 the Russian ostriches and Bolsheviks knew what they were in for in the “brave new world” they either were creating or allowing to happen via their indifference. The Bolshevik dream gave them Stalin’s reign of terror and decades of living with hunger, hardship, and fear in the fully government-controlled society. They lived without freedom until, even when communism fell, they found they had forgotten how to be free.
Our Bolsheviks actively work towards a complete reconfiguration of America. But their touted new world is not a new idea and it is more frightening than enlightened. Nonetheless, their actions and support for Leftist policy tells us this is what they indeed seek to create.
But our ostriches, with heads lost in the sand, are
supporting this revolution as well. If
the ostriches would raise their heads and look around, they might see what is
really happening and hopefully speak out against it. Indifference is a vote and a win for the Left
and ultimately for the tragedies and horrors that come with their new world
order.
