lewrockwell--2020-09-25--How the Government Uses Fear To Control

How the Government Uses Fear To Control

August 28 , 2020 , the Children ’ s Health Defense , led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , launched a European branch of the organization .
In a press conference1 announcing the new branch , Kennedy discussed how governments are using fear to control and manipulate the population .
Acting as quasi-government agencies , public health organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization are pushing vaccines using the same fear tactics , while simultaneously removing the regulatory oversight that used to ensure vaccines are properly safety-tested .
Corruption in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the trust these agencies need to get people to willingly take these fast-tracked vaccines , and this despite the fact that the media keep regurgitating the prescribed propaganda .
Kennedy also highlights how people like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates are helping to promote this global vaccination agenda .

Siegel , Marc Best Price : $ 12.95 Buy New $ 12.70 As a result of all this corruption , there ’ s no independent , unbiased buffer between greedy corporations and the world ’ s most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a global problem , Kennedy says , and the press is facilitating it by helping to create so much fear in the peoples ’ minds that they will obey whatever the health agencies say , no matter how illogical the demands .
Vaccines Are Not Routinely Tested Against Placebo Kennedy explains how he ended up spearheading the fight for vaccine safety .
He runs the largest water protection group in the world , the Waterkeeper Alliance .
In the early 2000s , he was involved in lawsuits over mercury discharges by coal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , he learned of the presence of mercury in vaccines , and that this source was a much larger source of mercury exposure than contaminated fish was .
Initially , his goal was simply to get the mercury removed from vaccines , but as he dug deeper , he realized “ there were larger problems with vaccines.
” One of the biggest problems was , and still is , the fact that vaccines in the U.S. are not safety tested .
“ They have an exemption that is not available to any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , explaining that when the vaccine program was initially launched , the goal was to make sure vaccines could be rapidly developed and deployed in response to biological attacks by foreign countries .
As a result , regulatory impediments — including safety testing vaccines against placebos , which the gold-standard in medical safety testing — were removed .
Nerve : Adventures in t ... Holland , Eva Best Price : $ 12.25 Buy New $ 13.61 As noted by Kennedy , totalitarian nations have always used the power of fear to make citizens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s been shown that all you have to do to engineer compliance , no matter how horrific the ramifications , is to tell people they have something to fear , and that they will be safe if they follow your lead .
A famous quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt is “ The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
” He understood that fear is ultimately what strips us of our human rights and drives a society into totalitarianism , and that the only way to circumvent such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Today , one of the biggest threats ( or so we ’ re told ) is global pandemics .
Today , we also have something no previous tyrant has had , namely the technology to track , trace , control and manipulate individuals wherever they live .
Most people are surrounded by electronics and wireless devices that harvest every imaginable data point about your personal life .
Digital currency will complete the net of tyranny .
Once all cash economies have been abolished , “ they have absolute control over us because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transaction , ” Kennedy says .
A digital currency economy will also ensure total compliance by the masses .
If you disobey , they can simply restrict or shut down your bank account .
Kennedy goes on to stress that the pushback seen around the world against mask mandates , vaccines , social distancing and lockdowns are not because there ’ s a willful ignorance of science , but that no real science is being presented ; science is actually being withheld and suppressed .
Why Are We Ignoring the Nuremberg Charter ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 6.42 Buy New $ 9.66 As noted by Kennedy , this is precisely what the Nazis did to prisoners during World War II .
After the war , the world was so horrified by the atrocities of the Nazi camps , including and especially the medical testing that took place , the Nuremberg Code,3 which details the ethical framework for medical experimentation , was enacted .
Do Not Trust the Medical or National Security Establishment In the Ron Paul Liberty Report above , former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul interviews4 Kennedy about who really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why .
In summary , the evidence suggests his father , Robert Kennedy , was assassinated by a CIA agent hired as a security guard .
Kennedy reviews some of the history of the CIA — how it was initially established as an espionage organization tasked solely with intelligence gathering , only to transform into a paramilitary agency engaged with the overthrowing of democracies around the world and other nefarious and antidemocratic activities .
The Politics of Obedie ... Etienne de la Boetie Best Price : $ 7.00 Buy New $ 7.00 He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called MK Ultra , in which individuals are brainwashed to carry out orders , including murders , against their own will .
The conversation eventually turns to vaccine safety and the folly of ignoring published science showing there are significant problems — problems that the medical establishment is refuting without any actual counter-evidence .
They also discuss data suggesting the COVID-19 lockdowns may have caused more deaths than the virus itself , as well as the civil rights issues involved .
“ I think the data are really clear , that quarantine is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 ” Kennedy says .
Pandemic Responses Are Doing Far More Harm Than Good He cites research from the 1980s that looked at the impact of unemployment on human life .
This kind of research flourished in the wake of American industries increasingly being shipped overseas , causing rising unemployment .
The most famous of these studies , Kennedy says , found that for every one-point rise in unemployment there were 37,000 excess deaths , 4,000 excess imprisonments and 3,300 excess admissions into mental institutions .
Kennedy cites a report from a hospital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one year ’ s-worth of suicides in a single month , a 1,200 % increase .
He also cites British research showing that while there were 30,000 excess deaths in nursing homes during a five-week period during the lockdown , only one-third of them were due to COVID-19 .
In other words , the death rate from isolation was double that of the virus itself .
People didn ’ t get the proper medical care for chronic conditions and so on .
Kennedy also rightly points out that what we will see — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obliteration of the middle-class and the shift of wealth from the poor to the already ultra-rich .
Then there ’ s the rapidly approaching question of vaccination .
Children and young adults under the age of 20 basically have a zero risk of dying from COVID-19 , so are we going to force them to gamble with their future health by taking a fast-tracked and unproven vaccine in the name of protecting the elderly who are at greatest risk of dying from COVID-19 ?
“ That is a very dicey ethical question , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like an apocalyptical battle ; it ’ s really something I never thought would happen in my lifetime , where all the values of our country are being eroded , ” Kennedy says , pointing out that in 1968 , there was a bird flu pandemic5 that had a higher mortality rate than COVID-19 , “ and we all went to Woodstock .
It was just part of life.
” Today , pandemics have become a tool of tyranny , and the “ biosecurity ” agenda is a globalist agenda that ultimately seeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human rights and the rights of countries .
As noted by Kennedy , the fear level is totally out of proportion to the real threat of COVID-19 , as are the government-prescribed responses .

Acting as quasi-government agencies, public health organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization are pushing vaccines using the same fear tactics, while simultaneously removing the regulatory oversight that used to ensure vaccines are properly safety-tested.
Corruption in the political system, however, has destroyed the trust these agencies need to get people to willingly take these fast-tracked vaccines, and this despite the fact that the media keep regurgitating the prescribed propaganda.

“Point a finger at that source of their fear and you can make human beings do anything you want. You can make them go to the slaughter like sheep; you can make them obey.” ~ Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
As a result of all this corruption, there’s no independent, unbiased buffer between greedy corporations and the world’s most vulnerable populations — our children. This is a global problem, Kennedy says, and the press is facilitating it by helping to create so much fear in the peoples’ minds that they will obey whatever the health agencies say, no matter how illogical the demands.
Vaccines Are Not Routinely Tested Against Placebo
Kennedy explains how he ended up spearheading the fight for vaccine safety. He runs the largest water protection group in the world, the Waterkeeper Alliance. In the early 2000s, he was involved in lawsuits over mercury discharges by coal burning power plants.
Around the same time, he learned of the presence of mercury in vaccines, and that this source was a much larger source of mercury exposure than contaminated fish was. Initially, his goal was simply to get the mercury removed from vaccines, but as he dug deeper, he realized “there were larger problems with vaccines.”
One of the biggest problems was, and still is, the fact that vaccines in the U.S. are not safety tested. “They have an exemption that is not available to any other medical product,” Kennedy says, explaining that when the vaccine program was initially launched, the goal was to make sure vaccines could be rapidly developed and deployed in response to biological attacks by foreign countries.
As a result, regulatory impediments — including safety testing vaccines against placebos, which the gold-standard in medical safety testing — were removed.
“My very narrow purpose in starting the Children Health Defense was to address this problem and to get vaccines properly safety tested, because if they’re not safety tested, nobody can tell you with any medical authority whether that vaccine is injuring more people than it’s saving,” Kennedy says.2
“As we continued on with this advocacy it became very clear that there were other problems as well. There [were] problems with the corruption in our political system.
The pharmaceutical companies had not only corrupted our politicians with huge amounts of lobbying money, they had captured the agencies that are supposed to protect Americans from public health threats: the CDC, the FDA, the HHS. They had captured the press in our country by huge influxes of advertising dollars which had neutralized the press.
They had effectively subverted American democracy by neutralizing all of those institutions that the Founding Fathers of our nation had created to stand between a greedy corporation and a vulnerable child.
The Congress had been corrupted. The regulatory agencies were captured; they had become the sock puppets for the industry they’re supposed to regulate. The press had been sidelined.
And worst of all, they had passed a law in our country in 1986 that gave pharmaceutical companies complete immunity from liability. So, there was no incentive for any of those companies to make vaccines safe …
If we win this battle in just one nation, the United States, we’re still going to lose it globally. So, we need people of good will, people who have courage, people who have a nonconformist way of thinking, who understand that we are being lied to, that the entire political structure today is saturated in pharmaceutical propaganda.”
The Power of Fear
Nerve: Adventures in t... Holland, Eva Best Price: $12.25 Buy New $13.61 (as of 05:00 UTC - Details) As noted by Kennedy, totalitarian nations have always used the power of fear to make citizens comply with authoritarian rule. Without fail, it’s been shown that all you have to do to engineer compliance, no matter how horrific the ramifications, is to tell people they have something to fear, and that they will be safe if they follow your lead.
“Point a finger at that source of their fear and you can make human beings do anything you want. You can make them go to the slaughter like sheep; you can make them obey,” Kennedy says.
A famous quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt is “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” He understood that fear is ultimately what strips us of our human rights and drives a society into totalitarianism, and that the only way to circumvent such a fate is to bravely resist fear. Today, one of the biggest threats (or so we’re told) is global pandemics.
“Governments love pandemics the same way that they love wars because it gives them power; it gives them control and it gives them the capacity to impose obedience on human beings,” Kennedy notes.
Today, we also have something no previous tyrant has had, namely the technology to track, trace, control and manipulate individuals wherever they live. Most people are surrounded by electronics and wireless devices that harvest every imaginable data point about your personal life.
Digital currency will complete the net of tyranny. Once all cash economies have been abolished, “they have absolute control over us because they will be able to tax every transaction,” Kennedy says. A digital currency economy will also ensure total compliance by the masses. If you disobey, they can simply restrict or shut down your bank account.
“Many people argue that this pandemic was a plandemic, that it was planned from the outset, it’s part of a sinister scheme,” Kennedy says. “I can’t tell you the answer to that. I don’t have enough evidence.
A lot of it feels very planned to me. I don’t know, but I will tell you this, if you create these mechanisms for control, they become weapons of obedience for authoritarian regimes no matter how beneficial or innocent the people who created them. Once you create them, they will be abused; 100% guarantee that they will be abused.”
People in Authority Lie
Kennedy goes on to stress that the pushback seen around the world against mask mandates, vaccines, social distancing and lockdowns are not because there’s a willful ignorance of science, but that no real science is being presented; science is actually being withheld and suppressed.
“What we know is that we’re not being dealt with honestly,” he says. “We’re being told, ‘This is the science,’ but it’s an appeal to authority. It’s science because Tony Fauci and Bill Gates tell us it’s science.
We want to see the studies. We want to see the studies on hydroxychloroquine. We want to see the studies on whether the lockdown is killing more people than the coronavirus. We want to see real science and real risk assessment.
My father told me when I was a child, ‘People in authority lie.’ If we are going to continue to live in a democracy we need to understand that people in authority lie. People in authority will abuse every power that we relinquish to them, and right now we are giving them the power to micromanage every bit of our lives.
Twenty-four hours a day they’re going to know where we are, they’re going to know the money that we spend, they’re going to have access to our children. They’re going to have the right to compel unwanted medical interventions on us.”
Why Are We Ignoring the Nuremberg Charter?
Propaganda Edward Bernays Best Price: $6.42 Buy New $9.66 (as of 07:40 UTC - Details) As noted by Kennedy, this is precisely what the Nazis did to prisoners during World War II. After the war, the world was so horrified by the atrocities of the Nazi camps, including and especially the medical testing that took place, the Nuremberg Code,3 which details the ethical framework for medical experimentation, was enacted.
“We all pledged … we would never again impose unwanted medical interventions on human beings without informed consent,” Kennedy says. “Yet in two years, all of that conviction has suddenly disappeared. People are walking around in masks when the science has not been explained to them. They are doing what they’re told.
These government agencies are orchestrating obedience, and it is not democratic; it’s not the product of democracy. It’s the product of a pharmaceutical driven, biosecurity agenda that will enslave the entire human race and plunge us into a dystopian nightmare where the apocalyptical forces of ignorance and greed will be running our lives and ruining our children …
The launch of this organization, Children’s Health Defense, in Europe is a beachhead; it’s an announcement to the world that we are not going to take it. We are building institutions to fight your institutions. You have global institutions and we now have a global institution …
We are not going to let you take our democracy away. We are not going to let you take our health away. We are not going to let you take our freedoms away. We are not going to let you take our children away.”
Do Not Trust the Medical or National Security Establishment
In the Ron Paul Liberty Report above, former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul interviews4 Kennedy about who really killed his father and uncle, and why. In summary, the evidence suggests his father, Robert Kennedy, was assassinated by a CIA agent hired as a security guard.

They also discuss data suggesting the COVID-19 lockdowns may have caused more deaths than the virus itself, as well as the civil rights issues involved. “I think the data are really clear, that quarantine is going to kill far more people than COVID-19” Kennedy says.

The most famous of these studies, Kennedy says, found that for every one-point rise in unemployment there were 37,000 excess deaths, 4,000 excess imprisonments and 3,300 excess admissions into mental institutions.
“In addition to that, we have disruptions to medical supply chains and food supply,” Kennedy notes. “There are millions of people starving around the world because of the quarantines. We’ve lost, already, about 50,000 minority businesses, permanently, in [the U.S.] What is that going to do?”
Kennedy cites a report from a hospital in San Francisco that stated they saw one year’s-worth of suicides in a single month, a 1,200% increase. He also cites British research showing that while there were 30,000 excess deaths in nursing homes during a five-week period during the lockdown, only one-third of them were due to COVID-19.

The riots in Louisville are only the latest in a long string of violent, raging mob riots by the criminal Marxist BLM movement, their mostly-white “antifa” thuggish allies, and assorted looters. In this case, “Two police officers have been shot in Louisville, Ky., amid riots following the announcement of an indictment in the shooting of Breonna Taylor. Louisville chief of police Robert Schroeder confirmed that the officers were shot and were taken to a local hospital. Schroeder told reporters that one of the officers was undergoing surgery but in stable condition, while the other was alert and stable. Police have arrested one suspect in the shooting. . . after a grand jury charged just one of the officers involved in the shooting of Taylor in a botched drug bust. Rioters clashed with police throughout Louisville, burning trash cans and calling to defund the city police department.”
Last May, hundreds of businesses in the state’s Twin Cities — Minneapolis and St. Paul — were damaged or looted during four days of unrest. In Los Angeles, “National Guard troops arrived in the nation’s second-largest city overnight after a fourth day of protests Saturday saw demonstrators clash repeatedly with officers, torch police vehicles and pillage businesses. Mayor Eric Garcetti said he asked Gov. Gavin Newsom for 500 to 700 members of the Guard to assist the 10,000 Los Angeles Police Department officers. The California National Guard is being deployed to Los Angeles overnight to support our local response to maintain peace and safety on the streets of our city,’ said the mayor, who ordered a rare citywide curfew until Sunday morning. Firefighters responded to dozens of fires, and scores of businesses were damaged. One of the hardest-hit areas was the area around the Grove, a popular high-end outdoor mall west of downtown where hundreds of protesters swarmed the area, showering police with rocks and other objects and vandalizing shops. About 3,000 protesters demonstrated in Brooklyn, and were pushed back by NYPD officers releasing chemical mace after the protests turned violent. A woman was arrested and charged with attempted murder after she threw a Molotov cocktail into an occupied police car. Against the Left: A Ro...

Things are likely to get worse. A story in The New York Times, a paper very sympathetic to the BLM hoodlums, admits that rioters plan to assault suburban white areas. They will demand that the white residents, who are often elderly, bow down to them and surrender their homes. “Nearly four months after the killing of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police, some protesters against police brutality are taking a more confrontational — and personal — approach. The marches in Portland are increasingly moving to residential and largely white neighborhoods, where demonstrators with bullhorns shout for people to come ‘out of your house and into the street’ and demonstrate their support. These more aggressive protests target ordinary people going about their lives, especially those who decline to demonstrate allegiance to the cause. That includes a diner in Washington who refused to raise her fist to show support for Black Lives Matter, or, in several cities, confused drivers who happened upon the protests.”
Ordinary Americans cannot rely on the police to protect them. In many cases, leftwing governors and mayors have ordered to police to stand down. For them, solidarity with the rioters is more important than the lives and property of decent citizens. We have seen the absurdity of rioters being called “peaceful protestors” when videos show cities aflame. When the police do their duty and counter the violence of the thugs, they are vilified as racists, indicted, and even shot at and killed. In these circumstances, they are hardly likely to stay on the job. If the police don’t protect you, you have no legal recourse, and in some places, police won’t even investigate cases of looting. “’Neither the Constitution, nor state law, imposes a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm — even when they know the harm will occur,’ said Darren L.

But he thought that there was something even worse than the burning and looting, and this was the main reason he condemned them. Their actions might lead to “vigilante justice”.

lewrockwell--2020-09-26--Hitler and the Democrats: Leftwing Kindred

“ Michigan Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence compared President Donald Trump ’ s presidency to Adolf Hitler ’ s rule during the Holocaust ” it was reported earlier this month .
Please note that this statement was made in a public forum by a national level Democrat who is a member of the US House of Representatives .
Early in August Jim Clyburn , the House majority whip and one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington said this of Donald Trump on CNN : “ I feel very strongly that he is Mussolini , Putin is Hitler.
” Given how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we actually have to commend Clyburn for his relative restraint .
The South Carolina democrat assigned Hitler status to Putin while being content to downgrade Trump to the level of Fuhrer ’ s Italian sidekick .
Get In Loser Karl Marx ... Buy New $ 19.99 Needless to say , the pejorative “ Hitler ” is the Left ’ s favorite term of abuse which they hurl freely at those who disagree with them .
But who really was Adolf Hitler ?
Since his name features so prominently in the Left ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand where he stood ideologically .
Being clear about who Hitler was will be of great value .
For one thing , this knowledge will help us identify those elements in our own political landscape that are ideologically allied with him .
This , in turn , will enable us to protect ourselves against these elements and also give us the moral clarity to warn them of the dangerous path they are on .
When trying to come to grips with Hitler , we need to realize that he was first and foremost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , come in different stripes and varieties .
What they all invariably share , however , is their conviction that society should be commanded by the State .
To put it another way , socialists hold the view that the State should be in charge .
They believe that the State should set the course not only for the nation ’ s economy but also be in control of the public square as well as of the private lives of its citizens .
In sum , a socialist is someone who believes that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the State .
As a socialist – from the moment he seized power – Hitler was keen to build a strong centralized state which would control nearly every aspect of German life .
Revealingly , the full name of his political party – which was the National Socialist Party also known as the Nazi Party – was “ Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.
” It translates into English as the National Socialist German Workers ’ Party .
Notice the terms “ Socialist ” and “ Workers ” in the name .
They immediately betray the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ socialist outfit .
About this there can be little doubt .
After all , why would the Nazis call themselves socialists if they did not believe themselves to be such ?
Reviewing historical evidence in his essay titled “ Hitler and the Socialist Dream , ” the renown Cambridge scholar George Watson wrote this : “ It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists , and that others , including democratic socialists , thought so too .
The title of National Socialism was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where Hitler got his socialism from ?
Writes Watson : Classless Karl Marx Cl ... Buy New $ 17.99 Hitler acknowledged his profound debt to the Marxian tradition .
“ I have learned a great deal from Marxism ” he once remarked , “ as I do not hesitate to admit.
” So , Adolf Hitler was socialist who imbided his leftist ways from none other than Karl Marx himself .
This brings us to a crucial point that will have far reaching consequences for our understanding of who Hitler was .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and therefore belongs on the left side of the political spectrum .
Today it is generally believed that Hitler resided on the extreme Right , but this is not the case .
This untruth has been planted and spread by Western leftists who are for obvious reasons anxious to disown their notorious compadre .
What gave the leftists a cover for their obfuscation was Hitler ’ s racism and nationalism which he superimposed on his socialist underpinnings .
This muddied the waters just enough to make the lie possible .
The truth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your standard socialist , somewhat downstream from total statists like Lenin , Stalin or Castro .
There is a saying that if something looks like a duck , quacks like a duck and walks like a duck , then it is a duck .
We should apply the same principle here : If Hitler says that he is a socialist , has learned from a socialist , calls himself a socialist and quacks like a socialist , then he is a socialist .
Furnished with this knowledge , we can now place Hitler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spectrum and see how he relates to other political actors of both past and present .
Below is the political spectrum drawn correctly .
Its basis is the prominence assigned by various players to the State vis-a-vis means of production , which is generally the most telling measure by which to evaluate their ideological position .
We can now see that even though American Leftists continually accuse their opponents of being Hitler , it is actually themselves who qualify for this designation .
Both being essentially socialist in orientation , Hitler ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place him roughly in the same region of the continuum as the bulk of the Democrat Party .
This may come as a surprise to some people , but it is true nonetheless .
Think of Bernie Sanders , for example , a self-confessed socialist from Vermont .
Sanders , the most exciting Democrat politician today , enjoys a wide and enthusiastic support among the base .
The Communist Manifesto Friedrich Engels Best Price : $ 3.07 Buy New $ 2.26 Like those of “ Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei , ” Sander ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Washington Examiner notes : “ Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders warmly praised Cuba and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s after visiting each , dismissing “ horrors ” in Cuba as right-wing propaganda and praising Soviet infrastructure even as dictatorship prevailed and the country was on the verge of collapse.
” Even the leftwing USA Today had to concede that Sanders “ has made a lifelong career of ingratiating himself with anti-American radicals of various left-wing stripes.
” We also learn that “ Cuba ’ s Marxist-Leninist revolution has been another one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1989 , he issued a public statement piling praise on Castro ’ s regime.
” And this is what Bernie Sanders himself has said about that human and societal disaster also known as the Republic of Cuba : “ For better or for worse , the Cuban revolution is a very profound and very deep revolution .
Much deeper than I had understood .
More interesting than their providing their people with free health care , free education , free housing … is that they are in fact creating a very different value @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with.
” Apart from the fact that Cuban hospitals are vermin infested hell holes and most Cubans live in shacks , Bernie is right on the money .
Here is an account of one of the latest victims of Cuban Healthcare : We are in a terrible hospital , in awful sanitary conditions , when they give us food , they ask us to drink the soup from the plate , [ without a spoon ] , there is not even toilet paper… they do not give us news of any kind , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any doctor .
But never mind this — Bernie still thinks Cuban Healthcare is excellent .
It is informed views such as these that have made the socialist Sanders the most appealing and admired politician in the Democratic field today .
So much so that Sanders would have won the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination if not for the machinations of the Clintonites at the Democratic National Committee who essentially stole it from him .
If a socialist is the most popular politician in the Democratic party what does it tell you about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their views on the role of government vis-à-vis means of production , Sanders ’ followers would see eye to eye with Hitler ’ s National Socialists .
The ideological kin that they are , the two stand shoulder to shoulder on the left side of the political spectrum .
An avowed socialist : In 2016 his Democratic nomination was stolen by the Clintonistas at the DNC A radical though Sanders may be , there are many prominent Democrats whose views place them even further left .
We can mention Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Ilhan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever implemented , Ocasio-Cortez ’ s New Green Deal would effectually require a complete takeover of the American economy by the State .
Or take the Somali born hijab-clad Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who recently called for a complete dismantling of American society as we know it : Communist Worker & rsquo ... Buy New $ 19.95 “ We can ’ t stop at criminal justice reform or policing reform .
We are not merely fighting to tear down the systems of oppression in the criminal justice system .
We are fighting to tear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing , in education , in health care , in employment , [ and ] in the air we breathe.
” The present system would be presumably replaced by some version of an all-powerful State which would eliminate all injustice and guarantee perfect equity .
Only such a State would have the ability to fight the “ oppression ” that apparently exists even in the air we inhale .
Even Adolf Hitler himself would not call for such far-reaching governmental powers .
Clearly , the avowedly socialist Hitler was more moderate in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than these American radicals .
Some people may think the comparison is unwarranted since these Democrats have not wrought the kind of damage the Fuhrer did .
The difference , however , is not in the extremeness of their views but in the ability to implement them .
As of now , these Democrats have not had the power or means to execute their radical agenda .
Should they succeed the results would undoubtedly be similar .
There are , in fact , striking affinities between today ’ s Hard Left and Hitler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
When it comes to fundamentals such their shared aversion to freedom of speech , silencing opposition , cancel culture , political correctness , censorship , intimidation of opponents , collectivism , etc .
their positions and instincts are practically indistinguishable .
We have summarized these correspondences in a graphic called The Ideological Pedigree Table of Values and Views .
It shows that today ’ s Hard Left – which has recently completed its capture of the Democrat Party – and authoritarians like Hitler hail from the same psychological and ideological root .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ could , in fact , be said that the Democratic Left is a present-day version of Hitler ’ s National Socialists .
The two could not be closer as far as the first principles are concerned .
Consider these parallels .
Both Hitler and today ’ s Left are decidedly socialist .
They are both intensely racist and use race as a central element of their platform .
Hitler ’ s racism was primarily directed against Jews .
His form of racism is called anti-antisemitism .

“ We can take of the problem on our own .

Cheers erupted from the crowd around her punctuated by people saying “ yes !

The dislike of America is shared by Democrats through all walks of life .
Have you ever heard a Democrat sincerely say anything nice about their country ?
Whenever they open their mouths on the subject of America , it is usually to denigrate and put her down .
They regularly assert or imply that America is uniquely unjust and oppressive .
They routinely claim that theirs is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and oppression .
From their tone you can sense that they think there is little good about America or her past .
When the President of the United States was giving his 4th of July speech this year under the Mount Rushmore a well-known moderator for a major TV network said that the talk was being given on the land stolen from the Indians under the statues of slave owners .

It should be the hope of all good and patriotic American that this never happens .
As a warning and as instruction to those who still do not see the Democrats ’ real nature , we present a table of similarities .

To express it another way , change Hitler ’ s target of racism from Jews to whites and his German nationalism to anti Americanism and what you get are today ’ s Democrats .

“It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too. The title of National Socialism was not hypocritical.”

Hitler acknowledged his profound debt to the Marxian tradition. “I have learned a great deal from Marxism” he once remarked, “as I do not hesitate to admit.”
So, Adolf Hitler was socialist who imbided his leftist ways from none other than Karl Marx himself.
This brings us to a crucial point that will have far reaching consequences for our understanding of who Hitler was. As a socialist, Hitler is a leftist and therefore belongs on the left side of the political spectrum. Today it is generally believed that Hitler resided on the extreme Right, but this is not the case. This untruth has been planted and spread by Western leftists who are for obvious reasons anxious to disown their notorious compadre. What gave the leftists a cover for their obfuscation was Hitler’s racism and nationalism which he superimposed on his socialist underpinnings. This muddied the waters just enough to make the lie possible. The truth, however, remains that fundamentally Hitler was your standard socialist, somewhat downstream from total statists like Lenin, Stalin or Castro.
There is a saying that if something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it is a duck. We should apply the same principle here: If Hitler says that he is a socialist, has learned from a socialist, calls himself a socialist and quacks like a socialist, then he is a socialist.
A duck and a socialist
Furnished with this knowledge, we can now place Hitler in his proper place on the political spectrum and see how he relates to other political actors of both past and present. Below is the political spectrum drawn correctly. Its basis is the prominence assigned by various players to the State vis-a-vis means of production, which is generally the most telling measure by which to evaluate their ideological position.
Political spectrum correctly drawn
We can now see that even though American Leftists continually accuse their opponents of being Hitler, it is actually themselves who qualify for this designation. Both being essentially socialist in orientation, Hitler’s views on the role of the State place him roughly in the same region of the continuum as the bulk of the Democrat Party. This may come as a surprise to some people, but it is true nonetheless. Think of Bernie Sanders, for example, a self-confessed socialist from Vermont. Sanders, the most exciting Democrat politician today, enjoys a wide and enthusiastic support among the base. The Communist Manifesto Friedrich Engels Best Price: $3.07 Buy New $2.26 (as of 06:31 UTC - Details)
Like those of “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei,” Sander’s instincts and convictions are vibrantly socialist. The Washington Examiner notes:
“Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders warmly praised Cuba and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s after visiting each, dismissing “horrors” in Cuba as right-wing propaganda and praising Soviet infrastructure even as dictatorship prevailed and the country was on the verge of collapse.”
Even the leftwing USA Today had to concede that Sanders “has made a lifelong career of ingratiating himself with anti-American radicals of various left-wing stripes.” We also learn that “Cuba’s Marxist-Leninist revolution has been another one of Sanders’ pet causes. In 1989, he issued a public statement piling praise on Castro’s regime.”
And this is what Bernie Sanders himself has said about that human and societal disaster also known as the Republic of Cuba:
“For better or for worse, the Cuban revolution is a very profound and very deep revolution. Much deeper than I had understood. More interesting than their providing their people with free health care, free education, free housing … is that they are in fact creating a very different value system than the one we are familiar with.”
Apart from the fact that Cuban hospitals are vermin infested hell holes and most Cubans live in shacks, Bernie is right on the money.
Here is an account of one of the latest victims of Cuban Healthcare:
We are in a terrible hospital, in awful sanitary conditions, when they give us food, they ask us to drink the soup from the plate, [without a spoon], there is not even toilet paper… they do not give us news of any kind, and it is impossible to talk with any doctor.
But never mind this — Bernie still thinks Cuban Healthcare is excellent. It is informed views such as these that have made the socialist Sanders the most appealing and admired politician in the Democratic field today. So much so that Sanders would have won the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination if not for the machinations of the Clintonites at the Democratic National Committee who essentially stole it from him. If a socialist is the most popular politician in the Democratic party what does it tell you about the nature of this party? As far their views on the role of government vis-à-vis means of production, Sanders’ followers would see eye to eye with Hitler’s National Socialists. The ideological kin that they are, the two stand shoulder to shoulder on the left side of the political spectrum.
An avowed socialist: In 2016 his Democratic nomination was stolen by the Clintonistas at the DNC
A radical though Sanders may be, there are many prominent Democrats whose views place them even further left. We can mention Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar or Maxine Waters. If ever implemented, Ocasio-Cortez’s New Green Deal would effectually require a complete takeover of the American economy by the State. Or take the Somali born hijab-clad Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who recently called for a complete dismantling of American society as we know it: Communist Worker&rsquo...

“We can’t stop at criminal justice reform or policing reform. We are not merely fighting to tear down the systems of oppression in the criminal justice system. We are fighting to tear down systems of oppression that exist in housing, in education, in health care, in employment, [and] in the air we breathe.”
The present system would be presumably replaced by some version of an all-powerful State which would eliminate all injustice and guarantee perfect equity. Only such a State would have the ability to fight the “oppression” that apparently exists even in the air we inhale. Even Adolf Hitler himself would not call for such far-reaching governmental powers. Clearly, the avowedly socialist Hitler was more moderate in his views of the role of the State than these American radicals. Some people may think the comparison is unwarranted since these Democrats have not wrought the kind of damage the Fuhrer did. The difference, however, is not in the extremeness of their views but in the ability to implement them. As of now, these Democrats have not had the power or means to execute their radical agenda. Should they succeed the results would undoubtedly be similar.
There are, in fact, striking affinities between today’s Hard Left and Hitler to which we have drawn attention earlier. When it comes to fundamentals such their shared aversion to freedom of speech, silencing opposition, cancel culture, political correctness, censorship, intimidation of opponents, collectivism, etc. their positions and instincts are practically indistinguishable. We have summarized these correspondences in a graphic called The Ideological Pedigree Table of Values and Views. It shows that today’s Hard Left – which has recently completed its capture of the Democrat Party – and authoritarians like Hitler hail from the same psychological and ideological root. Both are essentially leftwing totalitarians.
It could, in fact, be said that the Democratic Left is a present-day version of Hitler’s National Socialists. The two could not be closer as far as the first principles are concerned. Consider these parallels. Both Hitler and today’s Left are decidedly socialist. They are both intensely racist and use race as a central element of their platform. Hitler’s racism was primarily directed against Jews. His form of racism is called anti-antisemitism. Democrats’ racism is primarily directed against white people. We can call this form of racism anti-whiteism. And for both the concept of their nation is of great importance albeit they spin it in reverse direction. Hippity Hoppity Abolis...

Democrats’ Racism
If you should think that comparing Democrat’s racism to that of Hitler is an exaggeration, you only need to go to the protests / riots which are now taking place all across America. These events are in reality nothing other than Democrat rallies organized and attended exclusively by the Democrat base none of whom would ever think of voting Republican. In fact, Trump voters are decidedly not welcome. If one gets ever identified as such, he or she is in immediate danger of grievous bodily harm or death. Only recently a Trump voter was murdered in cold blood during one such rally. His name was Aaron J. Danielson and he was shot point black in the chest. When the news of his murder was announced, the assembled Democrats clapped and cheered in delight. Here is an account of their appalling celebration from Portland Courant:
A group rallying after the fatal shooting of Aaron J. Danielson celebrated the man’s death. “We can take of the problem on our own. I am not sad that a f-cking fascist died tonight,” an unknown woman yelled into a bullhorn. Cheers erupted from the crowd around her punctuated by people saying “yes!’
As many have noticed, these Democrat convocations seethe with racism in which participants carry placards with inscriptions such as “F-ck Whiteness” while slogans such as “F-ck White People!” serve as their marching chants.
The democrat base showing their true racist colors
This is the Democratic base showing their true racist colors and the Democrat leaders and politicians not only refuse to condemn their racism, they openly and enthusiastically encourage the events where it takes place. What these mobs of Democrats are expressing in their chants and banners is the spirit and the soul of their party. Even Hitler and his mobs were not so public and brazen about their racism, and certainly not before they seized the power. Marx and Engels Philos... Buy New $19.99 (as of 05:53 UTC - Details)
Democrats’ Negative Nationalism: Anti-Americanism
As we would expect from Hitler’s ideological kin, the concept of their nation also plays a central role in Democrats’ agenda. But while Hitler’s nationalism was positive in orientation – he extolled the German Fatherland and culture – the Democrats’ nationalism is negative: they denigrate their own country and their culture. The name of Hitler’s positive nationalism was Deutscher Nationalismus. The name of the Democrats’ negative nationalism is anti-Americanism.
The Democrats’ anti-Americanism is on public display at their rallies in which the burning of the American Flag has become something of a regular ritual. And so are the chants “F-ck America.” But it is not only the mobs of rank-and-file Democrat voters who harbor such views toward their nation. The dislike of America is shared by Democrats through all walks of life. Have you ever heard a Democrat sincerely say anything nice about their country?
Democrat voters display their anti-Americanism
Whenever they open their mouths on the subject of America, it is usually to denigrate and put her down. They regularly assert or imply that America is uniquely unjust and oppressive. They routinely claim that theirs is a country based on exploitation, slavery and oppression. From their tone you can sense that they think there is little good about America or her past. When the President of the United States was giving his 4th of July speech this year under the Mount Rushmore a well-known moderator for a major TV network said that the talk was being given on the land stolen from the Indians under the statues of slave owners. Both claims were specious, but this just shows you what the American leftists truly think of their own country: they can never find anything good in it. The fact that America has created the most affluent society in history where all people enjoy equal rights and full freedoms somehow escape their notice. What they also do not notice is the fact that America has for the better part of the past century been the most desirable place to be.
Showing who they are: Democrats defacing monuments and spraying communist symbols
People from all over the world have been eager to immigrate to America, because in their view it was the best society on the planet to live in. And they were probably right. This, however, is quickly changing now as the Democrats – which are now virtually indistinguishable from the Hard Left – are doing their best to destroy American society, its institutions and its values. In the last four months alone, the Democrat mobs have managed to burn dozens of American cities. These violent rioters are nothing other than the equivalent of Hitler’s notorious brownshirts.
Being Hitler’s kindred, it is no surprise that Democrats’ works result in ruin and destruction. As Hitler ruined Germany, so will Democrats ruin America if they ever manage to gain power. It should be the hope of all good and patriotic American that this never happens. As a warning and as instruction to those who still do not see the Democrats’ real nature, we present a table of similarities.
As you can see, both the Democrats’ and Hitler’s programs revolve around the same three basic planks:
Socialism
Racism
Nationalism
The minor variations between them – such as the target of racism and the positive/negative orientation of nationalism – are merely due to the somewhat different circumstances and times in which these totalitarians operate.
To express it another way, change Hitler’s target of racism from Jews to whites and his German nationalism to anti Americanism and what you get are today’s Democrats. Revealingly, the two agree on nearly everything from their violent tactics down to their shared dislike of America.
We would do well to contemplate the implications of this carefully.
