noqreport--2020-04-19--The COVID-19 lockdown is a warning of the reality of socialism

• The suppression of essential human rights and censorship .
• Leftists exploiting an emergency situation to empower themselves .
• Innocent people being confined while the guilty run amok .
Anyone who has studied socialism ( or one of its cynical variations : Collectivism , Fabianism , Fascism , Trotskyism , Maoism , etc.
, ) will have noticed an interesting pattern over the past few weeks .
Current events mimic the economic chaos , authoritarianism , and suppression of basic human rights of socialistic slavery almost perfectly .
It should be no surprise that authoritarian leftists like Woodrow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ war socialism ’ on the people with no regard for their welfare .
While all of this may seem abnormal to those used to liberty and individual rights , this is just everyday life for those having to deal with socialistic slavery .
But of course , no one would actually advocate or vote for a system such as this .
So naturally , the left has to incessantly lie about the true nature of their socialist national agenda with tired old falsehoods such as ‘ socialism has never really been tried before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t really socialist ’ or that non-socialist nations are actually socialist .
The fact that they have to incessantly lie about their base ideology speaks volumes .
We have an opportunity to experience the deprivations and devastation of the left ’ s socialist national agenda without being locked into it for life .
We should heed the warning and reject it outright .
This is a common element of socialist nations because collectivist systems are based in central planning that never works .
A top-down command economy will never be as efficient as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we see the same problems , howbeit for slightly different causes .
Some of the nation ’ s socialist left have pointed to the temporary lines for food shopping as though it ’ s some sort of endemic failure when that sort of thing is a common occurrence in collectivist economies .
The suppression of essential human rights and censorship Socialists tend to obsess about empowering themselves , thus gun confiscation is always one of their first priorities .
They also can not abide people gathering and exercising their right of free speech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
At the beginning of this emergency , many suddenly realized that they were their own first responder .
It didn ’ t help that leftists wanted the innocent confined and the guilty released .
The Chi-Com Virus excuse was also perfect for suppressing other inconvenient civil and human rights , resulting in the nation ’ s left going hog wild in coming up with new ways of going after these .
Leftists exploiting an emergency situation to empower themselves Nothing describes the authoritarian left better than the phrase “ Never let a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a lot of difficulty in pushing their schemes in normal times .
So they wait for a good crisis to get it ‘ Rahmed ’ through .
In the case of National Socialist German Workers ’ party , they used the Reichstag fire to take control .
For the nation ’ s socialist left in the states , they are trying to use the Chi-Com Virus excuse to push for mail-in voting as a drastic structural change .
A reported in The Daily Signal , this is a very bad idea as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senior legal fellow in The Heritage Foundation and a presidential Trump appointee to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity : Mail elections have all kinds of security problems .

Anyone who has studied socialism (or one of its cynical variations: Collectivism, Fabianism , Fascism, Trotskyism, Maoism, etc.,) will have noticed an interesting pattern over the past few weeks. Current events mimic the economic chaos, authoritarianism, and suppression of basic human rights of socialistic slavery almost perfectly.
It should be no surprise that authoritarian leftists like Woodrow Wilson have exploited emergencies to impose ‘war socialism’ on the people with no regard for their welfare. While all of this may seem abnormal to those used to liberty and individual rights, this is just everyday life for those having to deal with socialistic slavery.
But of course, no one would actually advocate or vote for a system such as this. So naturally, the left has to incessantly lie about the true nature of their socialist national agenda with tired old falsehoods such as ‘socialism has never really been tried before’, ‘socialist nations aren’t really socialist’ or that non-socialist nations are actually socialist. The fact that they have to incessantly lie about their base ideology speaks volumes.
We have an opportunity to experience the deprivations and devastation of the left’s socialist national agenda without being locked into it for life. We should heed the warning and reject it outright.
Economic devastation, food shortages
This is a common element of socialist nations because collectivist systems are based in central planning that never works. A top-down command economy will never be as efficient as one based on economic freedom. Thus we see the same problems, howbeit for slightly different causes.
Some of the nation’s socialist left have pointed to the temporary lines for food shopping as though it’s some sort of endemic failure when that sort of thing is a common occurrence in collectivist economies.
The suppression of essential human rights and censorship
“Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.” Robert A. Heinlein
Socialists tend to obsess about empowering themselves, thus gun confiscation is always one of their first priorities. They also cannot abide people gathering and exercising their right of free speech in opposition to their ‘rule’.
At the beginning of this emergency, many suddenly realized that they were their own first responder. It didn’t help that leftists wanted the innocent confined and the guilty released.
The Chi-Com Virus excuse was also perfect for suppressing other inconvenient civil and human rights, resulting in the nation’s left going hog wild in coming up with new ways of going after these.
Leftists exploiting an emergency situation to empower themselves
Nothing describes the authoritarian left better than the phrase “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” They have a lot of difficulty in pushing their schemes in normal times. So they wait for a good crisis to get it ‘Rahmed’ through.

In the case of National Socialist German Workers’ party, they used the Reichstag fire to take control. For the nation’s socialist left in the states, they are trying to use the Chi-Com Virus excuse to push for mail-in voting as a drastic structural change.
A reported in The Daily Signal, this is a very bad idea as outlined by Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow in The Heritage Foundation and a presidential Trump appointee to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity:
Mail elections have all kinds of security problems. And the reason is very simple, these are the only kind of ballots that are being voted out of sight and out from under the supervision of election officials.
… And, in places that allow ballot harvesting—and that, again, is something that Pelosi wanted to mandate everywhere—party activists, candidates, political guns for hire, they will be going through neighborhoods trying to collect those absentee ballots to make sure they get voted. And that’s why those kinds of procedures are dangerous.
In one particular case, they are trying to bypass the people representatives and ‘Rahm’ through a dangerous change to election law by executive fiat. The Voter Integrity Project has detailed a New “Crisis” Power Grab in North Carolina:
The Cooper Administration is pushing a sleepy little change to our state’s Administrative Code that will give his hand-picked Director of Elections, Karen Brinson Bell, all the authority they want in order to institute last-minute “emergency” changes to our election laws, all without legislative approval, and this could include all-mail voting and California-style ballot harvesting. There’s an April 20th deadline for public comments on Bell’s proposed changes that add “other public health incident” language to the excuses she has for exerting emergency powers.
[Emphasis added]
The left usually cannot implement measures that are an extreme danger to our representative republic, so they have to lie in wait for an emergency as in the case with authoritarian socialists.
Neighbors snitching on neighbors
Socialist regimes have to rely on a secret police apparatus to keep the people in check. Having promised fantastic giveaways of other people’s money in order to buy votes, leftist then need to rely on oppression and mass murder when everyone notices that the promises are never fulfilled.
These secret police rely on informants to keep an eye on everyone. So that no one gets out of line because they don’t know who will turn them in.
A number of leftists have gone the same way, encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors with today’s example being New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio channeling his inner Gestapo officer:
“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
How do you report places that aren’t enforcing social distancing? It’s simple: just snap a photo and text it to 311-692. #AskMyMayor pic.twitter.com/WQdCcVf1Rl — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 18, 2020
Innocent people being confined while the guilty run amok
It was noted in ‘The Gulag Archipelago’ by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn that in the ‘re-education’ camps, the common criminals were usually elevated over the political prisoners, such that they would run the camps under the auspices of the guard complement. The Soviet socialists considered the criminals to be merely the victims of society and were given extra privileges because of this belief.
We are witnessing the same inversion of justice with the Chi-Com Virus pandemic in that innocent people are confined at home, or arrested if they dare venture out. The authorities are releasing criminals out into the street, increasing the crime rate and spreading the disease… a two for one special.
The bottom line: If you hated the last few weeks, you would hate a socialist utopia
Leftists love to cherry-pick their trite little secular religion of the promises of a perfect society, complete with equality and all kinds of free stuff paid for with other people’s money. The reality is far from this as exemplified by the 400 years of failure of their base ideology.
The irony is that all of this was caused by socialism with Chinese characteristics, reaffirming the caveat that if socialism caused the problem, socialism isn’t the solution.
If anything, the past few weeks shows everyone that this is an impossible goal. The true reality is what we are living now instead of their false promises. Think about this time whenever leftists bring up the failed ideology of socialism as a reason to reject it.

noqreport--2020-04-20--Checking blood for coronavirus antibodies: 3 questions answered about serological tests and immunity

Aubree Gordon , University of Michigan and Daniel Stadlbauer , Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Coronavirus testing in the United States is moving into a new phase as scientists begin looking into people ’ s blood for signs they ’ ve been infected by SARS-CoV-2 , the virus that causes COVID-19 .
This technique is called serological testing .
Virologist Daniel Stadlbauer helped develop a serological test to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and helped transfer it from the research lab to the clinical setting .
Epidemiologist Aubree Gordon regularly uses serological assays in her research studies on influenza and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ established serological testing for SARS-CoV-2 in her research lab .
Here , the collaborators explain how the technology works .
What do these tests look for ?
Serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 are blood tests .
They look at serum or plasma – basically blood that has been processed to remove the cells – for evidence that at some point you ’ ve been infected with the coronavirus .
These tests look for antibodies that your body ’ s immune system generated to fight the infection .
So , the tests detect the response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ itself .
They can not be used early in infection , before a patient ’ s body has mounted an antibody response .
A serological test may focus on different types of antibodies .
It can measure what are called neutralizing antibodies , which protect against the virus in question .
Or it may measure what are called binding antibodies , a type that recognizes SARS-CoV-2 but does not necessarily protect against it .
Several types of serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 exist .
Clinical laboratories and research laboratories typically use what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) that consists of plastic plates that are coated with lab-made proteins that match those on the surface of the virus .
For the test to be specific , it uses the spike protein from the surface of SARS-CoV-2 that gives the coronavirus its crown-like appearance .
This spike protein is immunogenic , meaning it ’ s one of the main targets of the body ’ s immune response ; an infected person would make antibodies against the spike protein .
The test measures if and how many serum antibodies in the sample @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plates .
Another type of serological test uses what ’ s called a lateral flow assay .
A variety of medical tests , including at-home pregnancy tests , use this technique .
It relies on liquid flowing over a pad treated with chemicals that will interact with the molecule you are testing for .
Usually the test will indicate the presence or absence of antibodies through easy-to-read lines .
They have the benefit of being relatively simple and rapid , but are generally less sensitive and do not give a measure of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has so far approved one test of this type , from the company Cellex .
Why is it helpful to know who has antibodies against the virus ?
From a public health perspective , knowing who has already been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 paints a clearer picture of how widespread the virus is in the local population .
Some people are asymptomatic or only came down with mild symptoms , so they might not be counted in other COVID-19 statistics .
Epidemiologists can use the serology results to determine how common those cases are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out a death rate for COVID-19 , by clarifying how many people in total have been sick .
Serosurveys are currently generating this kind of data .
They use the serological techniques to test a large number of serum samples from people without a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection , coming up with statistics about the group as a whole .
Knowing a true rate of infection allows public health workers to better predict the likely future course of the pandemic in individual locations and figure out what interventions are needed to control an outbreak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , although no one ’ s entirely sure yet , that once you have antibodies to the virus it will confer immunity , meaning you ’ ll be protected for some period of time .
Serological testing could also be used to make strategic staffing decisions about essential workers , including medical personnel – for instance , assigning to the front lines those who are have antibodies and are thus presumably immune .
These people would be able to go back to work without the risk of getting sick or infecting others .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are now potentially immune could play an important part in when and how social distancing restrictions are lifted .
Broad SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing could help control the pandemic until a potent vaccine is available – the real coronavirus “ end game.
” Where are these tests being performed so far ?
Serological testing is already being used to identify people who can serve as plasma donors .
In a process called plasmapheresis , doctors transfer plasma that contains antibodies to a disease into an ill person .
Plasmapheresis has been used for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In this case , plasma from someone who has recovered from COVID-19 – or was infected with the disease but didn ’ t develop symptoms and has a high level of antibodies – is transferred into a sick patient , typically someone critically ill. At Mount Sinai hospital in New York City , medical workers have started transferring plasma into patients with the hope of neutralizing the virus and alleviating the disease .
In other locations , hospitals have started or are preparing to begin this process as well .
Serological testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients who are suspected SARS-CoV-2 cases , but have not tested positive for the virus using the molecular test that looks for the virus ’ s genetic material .

noqreport--2020-04-20--Bill Maher met Dan Crenshaw. It didn’t go well for Bill.

Representative Dan Crenshaw came prepared to his interview/debate with HBO host Bill Maher .
Without his studio audience , Maher proved to be easily outmatched by the Congressman as they debated the White House ’ s response to the coronavirus crisis .
Maher went through a timeline of supposed failures committed by Washington DC in general and President Trump in particular .
Crenshaw broke in to address each issue .
It was a masterclass in using truth to debunk lies .
At one point , Maher went after the President for his early reactions in January , particularly the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up the country as much as hoped .
Crenshaw ’ s response was measured and accurate , easily demonstrating that it was the left , not President Trump , who fought the travel ban initially .
“ If you ’ re saying you wish that travel restriction had been more extreme , okay , fine , ” Crenshaw said .
“ You apparently had the foresight back then when apparently no one else did , but the fact is that if Joe Biden was in charge at that moment , he ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done it .
… Nancy Pelosi actually proposed legislation to stop it.
” The interview was supposed to be an opportunity for Maher to dunk on the President and possibly catch Crenshaw in his own criticisms .
But Crenshaw didn ’ t take the bait .
He didn ’ t need to .
And without Maher ’ s audience to clap like sheep at his retorts while booing the evil conservative , he didn ’ t stand a chance .
The left is trying desperately to revise history and claim that President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quickly enough .
But when we compare the President ’ s reactions to those of people like Nancy Pelosi , it ’ s clear who was ahead of the curve .
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism .

noqreport--2020-04-20--Leftists used to fake being liberal and champions of liberty. Now they openly oppose it.

Stressful times bring out everyone ’ s fundamental principles .
Those favoring liberty tend to go in that direction .
Those favoring the opposite—control—tend to go further towards a control mentality .
This is just a manifestation of the contrast between the political Right and the political Left : The Right prefers liberty over control .
The Left prefers control over liberty .
We are now seeing this in how the left has reacted to the Chi-Com virus pandemic with a tendency towards asserting more and more control over the people while the right is resisting this authoritarianism .
Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement , given their pass pretense of being ‘ liberal ’ .
Leftists would hold their breath if President Trump advocated breathing The national socialist left has a knee jerk reaction to anything favored by President Trump .
They automatically hate it , with ever-changing positions depending on what he has advocated .
Thus , we ’ ve seen them come out against an existing drug that showed great promise in treating COVID-19 .
Their newfound resistance to the cause of liberty was overwhelmingly energized when he tweeted that we need to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ MICHIGAN !
” and “ LIBERATE VIRGINIA , and save your great 2nd Amendment .
It is under siege !
” However , it ’ s not that they are merely coming out in opposition of freedom because of president Trump .
They are revealing their long-held beliefs , despite their false labeling as ‘ liberal ’ .
Pro-liberty groups want to protest the left ’ s authoritarianism—can we survive ?
Our first and probably most egregious example hails from the Washington Post with an investigation of how pro-liberty groups [ or as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] actually had the temerity to come out against the heavy-handed approach of some governors in their suppression of individual liberty : The Facebook groups target Wisconsin , Ohio , Pennsylvania and New York , and they appear to be the work of Ben Dorr , the political director of a group called “ Minnesota Gun Rights , ” and his siblings , Christopher and Aaron .
By Sunday , the groups had roughly 200,000 members combined , and they continued to expand quickly , days after President Trump endorsed such protests by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states .
The Dorr brothers manage a slew of pro-gun groups across a wide range of states , from Iowa to Minnesota to New York , and seek primarily to discredit organizations like the National Rifle Association as being too compromising on gun safety .
Minnesota Gun Rights , for instance , describes itself as the state ’ s “ no-compromise gun rights organization.
” It wasn ’ t long before the many who claim to be liberal decided that even talking about such things are to be verboten .
The term ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the word ‘ liberty ’ be far behind ?
Even worse , the national socialist media suddenly decided that liberate means a call to arms : • In Trump ’ s ‘ LIBERATE ’ tweets , extremists see a call to arms • Littwin : They ’ re coming to man the barricades and Trump is cheering them on Does that mean that we shouldn ’ t be allowed to use the words liberty and liberal for the same reason ?
We ’ ve saved the most egregious example for last .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Washington ‘ Democracy Dies in Darkness ’ Post would be the first to the barricades if their favorite part of the Bill of Rights and the 1st amendment were threatened .
But when it comes to other people ’ s essential human rights , any crisis is a good crisis for the suppression of those rights .
Not to mention the numerous times they ’ ve called for gun confiscation or the changing of the Constitution because they have no use for other people ’ s liberty or their common sense human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Calls on Trump to Pass Gun Control : ‘ End This American Carnage ’ • Washington Post – Eugene Robinson : Assault weapons must be banned in America Would they have the same attitude if the government suppressed their essential human rights ?
The bottom line : Leftists are authoritarians in opposition to liberty The authoritarian left has always had to rely on deception and lies in order to survive .
Their base ideology is predicated on attaining power over everyone else , but they can not be truthful about this fact of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use false labeling to remain viable , from lauding themselves as being ‘ liberal ’ to pushing ancient ideas under the guise of being ‘ progressive ’ or being ‘ democratic ’ while ignoring what the people truly want .

Stressful times bring out everyone’s fundamental principles. Those favoring liberty tend to go in that direction. Those favoring the opposite—control—tend to go further towards a control mentality. This is just a manifestation of the contrast between the political Right and the political Left:
The Right prefers liberty over control.
The Left prefers control over liberty.
We are now seeing this in how the left has reacted to the Chi-Com virus pandemic with a tendency towards asserting more and more control over the people while the right is resisting this authoritarianism. Even more incredible is their reaction to this movement, given their pass pretense of being ‘liberal’.
Leftists would hold their breath if President Trump advocated breathing
The national socialist left has a knee jerk reaction to anything favored by President Trump. They automatically hate it, with ever-changing positions depending on what he has advocated. Thus, we’ve seen them come out against an existing drug that showed great promise in treating COVID-19.
Their newfound resistance to the cause of liberty was overwhelmingly energized when he tweeted that we need to “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!”, “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” and “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!”
However, it’s not that they are merely coming out in opposition of freedom because of president Trump. They are revealing their long-held beliefs, despite their false labeling as ‘liberal’.
Pro-liberty groups want to protest the left’s authoritarianism—can we survive?
Our first and probably most egregious example hails from the Washington Post with an investigation of how pro-liberty groups [or as they term them ‘pro-gun provocateurs’] actually had the temerity to come out against the heavy-handed approach of some governors in their suppression of individual liberty:
The Facebook groups target Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, and they appear to be the work of Ben Dorr, the political director of a group called “Minnesota Gun Rights,” and his siblings, Christopher and Aaron. By Sunday, the groups had roughly 200,000 members combined, and they continued to expand quickly, days after President Trump endorsed such protests by suggesting citizens should “liberate” their states. The Dorr brothers manage a slew of pro-gun groups across a wide range of states, from Iowa to Minnesota to New York, and seek primarily to discredit organizations like the National Rifle Association as being too compromising on gun safety. Minnesota Gun Rights, for instance, describes itself as the state’s “no-compromise gun rights organization.”
It wasn’t long before the many who claim to be liberal decided that even talking about such things are to be verboten.
The term ‘liberate’ has been condemned. Will the word ‘liberty’ be far behind?
Even worse, the national socialist media suddenly decided that liberate means a call to arms:
Does that mean that we shouldn’t be allowed to use the words liberty and liberal for the same reason?

Washington Post: Trump’s ‘LIBERATE MICHIGAN!’ tweets incite insurrection. That’s illegal.
We’ve saved the most egregious example for last. This one is steeped in hypocrisy given that The Washington ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ Post would be the first to the barricades if their favorite part of the Bill of Rights and the 1st amendment were threatened.
But when it comes to other people’s essential human rights, any crisis is a good crisis for the suppression of those rights. Not to mention the numerous times they’ve called for gun confiscation or the changing of the Constitution because they have no use for other people’s liberty or their common sense human rights.
Would they have the same attitude if the government suppressed their essential human rights?
The bottom line: Leftists are authoritarians in opposition to liberty
The authoritarian left has always had to rely on deception and lies in order to survive. Their base ideology is predicated on attaining power over everyone else, but they cannot be truthful about this fact of life.
The left has always needed to use false labeling to remain viable, from lauding themselves as being ‘liberal’ to pushing ancient ideas under the guise of being ‘progressive’ or being ‘democratic’ while ignoring what the people truly want.
If anything, we are seeing the authoritarian left for what they truly are: Obsessed with control of every aspect of society. The people were willing to accommodate their petty wishes for a little while, but that time is up. They want their liberty back.

“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)


noqreport--2020-04-20--AOC Tweets, deletes the far-left’s plan for using coronavirus woes to push the Green New Deal

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a mistake .
Here ’ s how it likely went down .
After having some conversations with her radical progressive handlers at the Justice Democrats recently , they told her the ideal situation for them to enact Modern Monetary Theory and full-blown communism under the guise of the Green New Deal would be a total economic collapse .
The coronavirus crisis is they perfect catalyst , they told her .
At some point , they likely even mentioned specifically that if oil dropped low enough , there would be calls for a bailout of some sort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be their moment to strike , the rallying cry behind which they could start the revolution .
When she saw the bottom drop from under the oil market today , she giddily posted a Tweet that stirred up instant contempt from both the right and the non-insane wing of the left .
She was quote-Tweeting a report that oil prices were at “ negative values , ” meaning oil produced and on-hand was so far above demand at this point , one would have to , in theory , pay others to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not exactly how it really works , but it ’ s pretty darn bad .
Other people ’ s suffering—namely investors , anyone with a 401K , and anyone with a job in the industry industry—is the radical left ’ s gain .
Unfortunately for Ocasio-Cortez , it was not the right time to be gloating and pressing their Marxist agenda .
Though some are saying she got a call from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to have her take down her hideous Tweet , I believe it was much more likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cool it .
Keep in mind , it ’ s not that they disagree with anything she posted .
It ’ s that they don ’ t want others to know the plan .
They WILL push for some sort of economic upheaval in the midst of the financial chaos gripping the nation , but without enough support on Capitol Hill at this point , they will make their moves on the backend .
They don ’ t need AOC pulling their plans out of the shadows .
We often quip that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most part , this is based on their desire to retain and acquire power .
But people like AOC see destroying America as the only path for achieving their goals .
They need this nation to fall .

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a mistake. Here’s how it likely went down. After having some conversations with her radical progressive handlers at the Justice Democrats recently, they told her the ideal situation for them to enact Modern Monetary Theory and full-blown communism under the guise of the Green New Deal would be a total economic collapse. The coronavirus crisis is they perfect catalyst, they told her.
At some point, they likely even mentioned specifically that if oil dropped low enough, there would be calls for a bailout of some sort to stabilize the markets. This would be their moment to strike, the rallying cry behind which they could start the revolution. When she saw the bottom drop from under the oil market today, she giddily posted a Tweet that stirred up instant contempt from both the right and the non-insane wing of the left.
Seems Nancy Pelosi rang up @AOC and had her delete the tweet where she says she "absolutely loves to see" millions of people's livelihoods getting wiped out. LUCKILY, @JesseKellyDC screencapped it: pic.twitter.com/vVrFmMZQg7 — RBe (@RBPundit) April 20, 2020
“You absolutely love to see it. This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*”
She was quote-Tweeting a report that oil prices were at “negative values,” meaning oil produced and on-hand was so far above demand at this point, one would have to, in theory, pay others to take it from them. That’s not exactly how it really works, but it’s pretty darn bad.
Other people’s suffering—namely investors, anyone with a 401K, and anyone with a job in the industry industry—is the radical left’s gain. Unfortunately for Ocasio-Cortez, it was not the right time to be gloating and pressing their Marxist agenda. Though some are saying she got a call from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to have her take down her hideous Tweet, I believe it was much more likely one of her hyper-leftist cohorts told her to cool it.
Keep in mind, it’s not that they disagree with anything she posted. It’s that they don’t want others to know the plan. They WILL push for some sort of economic upheaval in the midst of the financial chaos gripping the nation, but without enough support on Capitol Hill at this point, they will make their moves on the backend.
