One of these days, These Boots . . .

Unless you’re a Swiftie for Kamala or an Evangelical for Harris or another kind of Never Trump groupie, someone with a head on their shoulders (and not where the light of reality can’t poke through) can imagine the future under Harris-Walz. O’Brien, the grand inquisitor of the totalitarian regime in Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, provides the image:

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.”

You squeal “totalitarian regime!” “That’s why we are not voting for Trump. He will destroy democracy! Christian nationalists will make America about God again! Harris-Walz will save Democracy and keep those pesky Christians out of politics!”

(Maybe you’ve just come from Two Minutes Hate on MSNBC where they loudly voice their hatred for their enemy and their love for super-state candidates. (And yes, another reference to Nineteen Eighty-Four, since wisdom and reason don’t connect at all with the aforementioned. The frenzy of spewing existential anguish and personal hatred does.))

The Boot of Mind Control on Your Face

You squeal “totalitarian regime” and “Trump’s Hitler” because the media’s lies and “threat to democracy” psyop programming have become embedded jackboots stamping down on your subconscious so no objections could be raised. As such, you don’t see that the jackboot is on the other foot. And, you don’t see that the totalitarian regime backing Harris-Walz is pacing in the wings ready to place its boot on your face “for ever!”

The Boot of Suppression on Your Face

Vice President Kamala Harris is threatening to weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against social media platforms failing to censor supposed “hate” and “misinformation” to her liking.

Censorship will be imposed Under Harris-Walz.

You see, your voice and your opinion are detestable to the authoritarian elites. They love to lecture, pontificate, and blather on in the media, in books and articles, in podcasts, and in church-sponsored events. They love the sound of their own voice. They don’t want to hear from you unless you are a journalist asking the “right” questions (and not the right questions.)

(There are those who lecture. And there are those of us tired of being lectured to and being censored.)

The “Save Democracy” party acted to silence Joe and Jill Biden when they replaced Joe with a DEI token. Joe is speaking out now and Dems are not happy, as he messes with their Disney production.

They have tried, by any means necessary, to suppress the voice of Donald Trump who represents the voice of those the elites detest and Democrats take for granted. They will do so again. When he wins the election, they will claim that he’s an “insurrectionist” to keep him out of the White House.

Some Democrats won’t commit to certifying a Trump victory (axios.com)

The 10+ million illegal immigrants who invaded our country under Biden-Harris will supress the voice of the American citizen in the voting booth – by design.

(Dems don’t need Zuckerbucks to swing this election. FEMA under Mayorkas is giving away tax-payer money to illegals – for votes!)

The Boot of Safetyism on Your Face

They want to silence you. They say that when you question and propose a different view that you spread misinformation with the potential to cause dramatic real-world consequences. In other words, prioritizing feelings of safety is reason to censor you. You see, you are unsafe when you say things not in line with the narrative come down from on high. The censors are not unsafe because they have “specialized” insider knowledge. The authoritarian elite want the population to be quiet, afraid, constantly worrying about what is next, and looking to them for answers.

The Boot of Choice Architecture on Your Face

The jackboots of social media and search engine Google have censored/stamped/manipulated out your voice and the truth during COVID and elections.

Mark Zuckerberg, in his letter to Congressman Jim Jordan, wrote about government interference in the free exchange of information:

In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.

Election example:

Google Manipulates Search for Hillary Crimes (youtube.com)

It’s no wonder that Democrats hate that Musk’s X is giving people the freedom to speak.

The Boot of Misinformation on Your Face

Half-truths, lying, and creating a pretense of reality are forms of censorship that are blatantly dangerous to our Democracy.

The government – federal, state and local – will mis-inform. To wit: What the New Jobs Report Really Says (youtube.com) The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department, has been the economy’s false witness for years. Does anyone think there has been a real economic recovery since the lockdowns?

During the Trump-Harris “debate” a moderator fact-checked Trump’s claim that crime is up. David Muir cited FBI reports that crime is down. Everyone knows this isn’t true. It is well-known that FBI crime reports are skewed because big cities run by Democrats do not report crime statistics to the FBI.

10-16-2024 FBI update: 80,000 violent crimes not originally counted.

They say that inflation has come down to 2.4% Yet prices have not come down, have they? I knew that the last Fed cut (50 bp) would happen before the election so as to boost the markets and make the economy and current government look good.

The “Save Democracy” party media (NYT, WaPo, The Atlantic, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and their ilk), in service of state power and the “ruling class”, provides only the state-approved narrative (See mind-control video above).” This Boot of their Misinformation is extremely dangerous to our Democracy.

The Boot of Central Planning on Your Face

A full arsenal of censoring (and compelled speech) boots – DEI, ESG, CRT, LGBTQ, licensing, and more -have been deployed by institutions and the state for purposes of culture planning.

Any of the following should be terrifying, unless, of course, you are saying what Big Brother types want you to say. (They love cultural Christians, the ones who talk about love and Jesus and who parrot their narratives!)

State information control/censorship under Harris-Walz:

Three powerful Dems sound major alarm bells over Comrade Kamala’s plans to BUTCHER social media… – Revolver News

Tyler Durden: “We’ll translate “govern” for readers as it essentially means narration control (or official government-approved propaganda)—that is, through the censorship blob at federal government agencies in Washington, DC, the intel community, Silicon Valley’s big tech, fact-checkers, think tanks and “legacy corporate media. 

Kerry’s choice of words and tone shows that far-left radicals in the Obama-Biden-Harris team are frightened that their own misinformation and disinformation propaganda jammed through far-left corporate media outlets is no longer sticking as the citizens gravitate to the ‘free speech’ X platform run by Elon Musk for their news in the pursuit of truth after being lied to for decades by their corrupt government and corporate overlords.”

Matt Taibbi writes:

WE IGNORE LAWS. It’s what America does. With this in mind, our government has moved past censorship to the larger project of changing the American personality. They want a more obedient, timorous, fearful citizen. Their tool is the Internet, a vast machine for doling out reward and punishment through likes and views, shaming or deamplification. The mechanics are complicated but the core concept is simple: you’re upranked for accepting authority, downranked for questioning it, with questions of any kind increasingly viewed as a form of disinformation.

From Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Address to the Nation given on Friday, August 23, 2024:

“What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates. What alarms me is the resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of the federal agencies. When a U.S. president colludes with, or outright coerces, media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right of free expression. And that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.” RFK

The Mindset of the Big Brother-stamping-boot Types

You are to be completely dependent on them and their “expertise.” They are growing the welfare state, accelerated now with 10+ million illegals, to support your dependency. Government-involved healthcare is another dependency maker. Kamala Harris fully embraces government-run, single-payer healthcare.

As with government backing of student loans creating rising college and university tuitions and more student debt, there is a downside to government involved healthcare:

Former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) sought to make health insurance more accessible, all while reducing premiums and the government’s budget shortfall, and allowing Americans to keep their preferred medical providers. However, individual market premiums surged, hundreds of billions of dollars were added to cumulative U.S. deficits and seven million consumers had their plans canceled following the ACA’s passage, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity study found.

You are to be perpetually adolescent, seen but not heard and totally dependent on the State.

Right now, we have a ruling elite government that thinks it owns you. It owns your rights. It owns your property. It owns your patents. It owns your body and health. It owns your thoughts and words and beliefs. Put another way, it sees you as a vassal, a serf. As such, you were meant to be stamped on. Under big government-as-lord-and master Harris-Walz, thought will become stamping action.

One of these days, their jackboots are gonna walk all over you.

The Self-censored

How can this be? Have religious people been taught not to deal with reality? Are they just passing through, like the chorus says? Are they so heavenly minded they are no earthly good? Are they so passive and feminized that they can’t take a stand.

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found that millions of religious people, most of whom are Christian, report that they will not vote in November’s election.

The study relates that only 51% of “people of faith,” including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Mormons, and other religious groups, plan on voting. This means that approximately 104 million religious people will not vote.

“The 32 million Christians who regularly attend church services but are not likely to vote,” he said, “represent a far larger margin than the combined number of votes that decided the 2020 election in key battleground states.”

[The study’s lead researcher, Dr. George] Barna added, “If church leaders, family members, and close friends will use their influence to get reticent voters from their churches to cast a ballot on November 5, the election outcome will be meaningfully affected.”

Millions of Christians, religious people say they are not voting in November – CatholicVote org

When Christians were asked to explain their complacency, 68% replied that they aren’t interested in politics, followed by 57% who dislike both presidential candidates, and another 52% who believe their vote won’t make a difference. In a sad sign of where we are as a country, 48% also worry that the election results will be manipulated.

When Christians Don’t Vote, ‘We Open The Door For Every Evil Ideology To Fill The Vacuum’ – Harbinger’s Daily (harbingersdaily.com)

I voted last week. I am a Christian. I voted for Trump/Vance because I want the Biden-Harris-Obama nightmare to end, I want the wicked duo of Harris-Walz kept out of the White House, and the administrative state dismantled.

Beware of the Werewolves in Sheeps’ Clothing:  Evangelicals for Harris. They look benign and come across as pure as the driven snow to gain your trust. But these werewolves are out to kill at least one vote for Trump each night. You know them by their howling lies:

“Harris “aligns with our biblical values of loving our neighbors as ourselves and protecting the most vulnerable as we are called to do by Jesus,” while Trump “uses fear and hate to divide and conquer,” Ball said.

“The bottom line: Character still counts. Harris will do what’s best for the country even if it costs her, whereas Mr. Trump will always do what’s best for him, even if it hurts the country.”

The above quote from the Rev. Jim Ball, chair of Evangelicals for Harris, is not just galling it is wildly untrue.

Is this what the Rev. Ball means by Harris “protecting the most vulnerable”?

EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way For Bureaucrats To Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents | (dailycallernewsfoundation.org)

Does the Rev. Ball mean how the Border Czar is “protecting the most vulnerable” Americans?

Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University was murdered in February 2024 while jogging on the University of Georgia campus. José Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national who had entered the U.S. illegally, was charged with her murder. The case has led to proposed legislation, known as the “Laken Riley Act,” which imposes stricter immigration laws regarding migrant detention.

Does the Rev. Ball mean this?

Yeah, Kamala is a real peach!

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert speaks up about how Kamala targeted Black communities in CA and sent a mother to jail for taking care of her sick child. “Complete lack of empathy!”

Harris talks about herself using ideological slogans, cackling and flirtation. Trump talks about himself in reference to American citizens and what matters to them. Trump has a human reference point. Harris is an empty pantsuit that is referenced to whatever. There’s no there there.

The Rev. Ball used footage of Billy Graham as a cloak of moral superiority.

Beware of those cloaked in moral superiority!

And there’s this, UGH!:

Character that matters to Americans:

American Citizenship and Its Decline: The Disappearing Middle Class

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the shifting economic roots of the decline of citizenship before introducing Victor Davis Hanson.

Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

A large and self-sufficient middle class is essential to citizenship, as it prevents an unstable, binary society of rich and poor. The once thriving American middle class is now vanishing due to high debts, low wages, and government policies that trap citizens in a prolonged adolescence.

Solzhenitsyn wrote with “lucid understanding,” and with no small dose of scorn, about the “Progressive Doctrine,” the inhuman ideology that justified terror and tyranny as no regime or ideological movement had ever justified the killing and repression of real or imagined “enemies of the People.” He showed that the heart of Bolshevism lay in a monstrous coming together of violence and lies that gave rise not to mere dictatorship but to a totalitarianism that transformed betrayal and lying into “forms of existence.”  This totalitarianism demanded fierce resistance, both for the sake of liberty and for the right of the human soul to breathe freely, with the dignity afforded it by God.

Former President Barack Obama is urging black men to support Kamala Harris, suggesting that our allegiance should be based on the color of her skin and the chance to “make history.” But I have a simple response to that: my ancestors fought too hard for my right to vote for me to be reduced to a racial checkbox in a political game. I won’t support someone just because they look remotely like me—especially when that person has shown no regard for the real issues facing black communities.

The ‘Out of Sync’ Debate, Log 5-4-2017

“My job is to make clear to everyone just what the secret plan is, the purpose that’s been hidden from the very beginning of the world in God who created all things. This is it: that God’s wisdom, in all its rich variety, was to be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places – through the church.” The Apostle Paul, Ephesian 3: 9 & 10

Often, I will engage atheists, the LGBT, SJWs and others on Twitter. I seek to debate them from a Kingdom perspective. I will inject myself into a conversation where I see a bashing of God and Christians with throwaway statements and a misuse of Scripture to promote, say, socialized health care.

It is easy for atheists, the LGBT, SJWs – anyone – to make such statements on Twitter. There is the cover of anonymity and a copy and paste groupthink mentality. Invariably, the ‘conversation’ ends with the atheist or LGBT-er or other being dismissive, derogatory and using ad hominin.  In the socialized health care debate, misappropriated Jesus quotes are used for shaming by SJWs.

As I debate, I find that atheists believe that “science” is all-you-need truth, trumping anything one might have to offer.  They readily assume that science is superior over ‘subjective’ Christianity, which holds dogmatic beliefs. In practice, though, the atheist asserts his belief system, his values, as being dogmatic and backed by a nebulous theory of scientific evidence.

The other day, I engaged Heisenberg @Atheist_in_nc. He made a reply to someone denigrating Christians. He asserted that mind and body can be “out of sync” per evolving scientific evidence, evidence which he doesn’t provide. Science had nothing to do with his original antagonistic reply. Here are our two Twitter profiles:

Here is the (complete>) Twitter feed and more evidence of the fact-value split in our world. I “cut” to the pre-op chase:

~~~

Debating helps me define what I think about issues. I often find that I need to research more. And, I learn from each encounter, especially about how other’s think and how they view the world. Post-modernists eschew the overarching domain of right and wrong – Christianity, for the domain of particularity – personal values couched in scientism.

It is not easy to debate in 140 characters. So, such encounters help me tweak my words to have more meaning in less space. Another reason to take a stance on issues: to stand out for the Kingdom of God in the rubble created by the post-modernist destruction of institutions. Sadly, I don’t get much collegial help from other Christians in these debates. I don’t know if the intellectual Christians have opted-off Twitter to write books and blog posts but Twitter appears to be a battle front in need of push back. Kingdom Christians must engage the culture where the people are and not from their Bible towers and fortresses. How else will Epicurean and Deist people know that Jesus is alive and actively engaged with mankind and that his Kingdom has been inaugurated on earth?

Bow to Illiberal Kowtow?

political correctness

On June 1, 2014 I posted Label Me In Christ.

 In that post I talked about how conversations are quickly shut down with name calling and labeling.  The Left ~ Progressives, Democrats, et al will use what ever means necessary to shut down any conversation that veers near the truth, reality or simple common sense. Below is what others are saying about the Left’s desired Utopian Caliphate ~ a place where their Sharia Law of Intolerance exists.

 

From Benjamin Weingarten’s post at The Blaze, April 14, 2014:

America’s Submission to Islam and the Censorship of the Left

  

For a free society to endure requires open and honest debate on ideas. The progressive Left claims it supports freedom of speech, but ask yourself on the following issues, are we free to talk or does the Left stifle debate:

The more areas of speech we circumscribe, the less freedom remains.

It would seem to me that what we have today, as opposed to the pluralistic and dynamic society that the American experiment requires, is totalitarianism masquerading under the banner of tolerance.

What we have today…is totalitarianism masquerading under the banner of tolerance.

What the Left’s intolerance reflects is that despite its moral relativism — a world without objective truths in which there is no such thing as good and evil — the Left believes there are judgments to be made, that certain values and ideas are superior: its own.

What separates the devils from the angels is simply whether or not you agree with them….

Yet despite the Left’s adherence to secular humanism, it finds common cause with Islamic supremacists.

Leftist secularists may not approve of religion, but like Islamic supremacists they have an overarching ideology that requires the stifling of all dissent.

In the final analysis, just like the Islamic supremacists, the Left wants us to all become their dhimmis. (emphasis mine)
