lewrockwell--2020-11-14--The Question I’ve Wanted To Answer for Twenty Years Is Suddenly So Clear to Me

Shortly after the turn of this century , I found myself standing in one of the halls of political power in former Czechoslovakia , after hearing the umpteenth horror story from communism , and saying to myself “ I wish I could live through a little bit of communism to see how normal people allowed it to all happen.
” You see , I just couldn ’ t believe how this stable and prosperous interwar democracy could find itself in the throes of Stalinist communism and its psychological turmoil .
It was shortly after World War II though , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power and there was a lot of “ new normal ” to deal with after the horrors of war .
Akin to our current era , there was even a period of Czechoslovak communism called “ normalizacia ” or normalization .
What was this thing called normalization ?
It was the “ second wave ” of Stalinism led by the old guard , a return after the liberalization of the 1968 Prague Spring to the most oppressive communism , a “ new normal.
” Normalization lasted from the fall of 1968 until November @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revolution was set into place in former Czechoslovakia .

If you stayed obedient , you were mostly treated okay compared to the others .
If you got close to the most powerful , you were treated better .
Within a few years , no one in society — from the highest echelon down —was living all that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the difference between west and east grew more stark .
Virtually everything was chintzy in the east .
How could a people put up with it ?
How could anyone treat this as normal ?
The stories I heard from so many seemingly normal and logical people in my many lengthy visits to post communist countries was “ It was all so normal ” and “ We never realized anything was wrong with it.
” Plenty will also speak openly about the abnormality of it all .
To this day , in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population , who are more comfortable being obedient to authority than figuring out how to add value in the world around them , lament the shift from communism .
Some people such as that have not made the shift to the logical and generous environment of capitalism very well .
They miss the warm paternalistic embrace of being a lackey in communist society .
As I write this , on Friday , November 13 , 2020 , seven months into our free trial of corona communism , on the 241st day of lockdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city in which I hang my hat , I ’ m beginning to see the many similarities that made it all so possible for the people of Czechoslovakia to see it as all so normal .
The Origins of Totalit ... Hannah Arendt Best Price : $ 8.49 Buy New $ 12.90 Compliance Is At The Heart Of Totalitarianism I stood with a European two weeks ago as he intimated to me the descent of the world into a state of compliance at all cost , and he related those details from his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ II , imbued with the memories of his forefathers .
Totalitarianism is compliance .
Compliance brings totalitarianism .
Whether it be more like fascism or communism matters little , widespread individual compliance inevitably leads a society to a bad place .
Lack of compliance is generally protective to the individual in the early days of totalitarianism as the non-compliant are not worth the trouble .
How Does Your Compliance Benefit You Or Anyone Else ?
The benefit of compliance to the individual in the present era of corona communism is unclear and unquestioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ primary definition of what is taking place today .
There is no rigorous reason to it .
There is no prevailing logic to it .
There is certainly no genuine public debate .
Many governments and cultures in a self-perpetuating loop of fear that has been stoked and re-stoked have shifted toward this totalitarian demand toward compliance at all cost .
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo even admits to happily riding the tide rather than leading .
Cuomo , seemingly the biggest reactionary of all state governors instead of leading , tries to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of fear , while blaming others for the fear-mongering behavior that he engages in that so feeds that fear .
On a Tuesday , October 6 , 2020 ( h/t Robert Wenzel ) conference call , trying to make peace with Orthodox Jewish leaders who he later “ stabbed in the back , ” by their account , Cuomo calls his government ’ s corona response an over-reaction : Crises of the Republic ... Arendt , Hannah Best Price : $ 11.00 Buy New $ 13.58 “ I ’ m a hundred percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a highly nuanced , sophisticated response .
This is a fear-driven response , you know .
This is not a policy being written by a scalpel ; this is a policy being cut by a hatchet .
It ’ s just very blunt .
I didn ’ t propose this , you know ; it was proposed by the Mayor [ Bill de Blasio ] in the City .
I ’ m trying to sharpen it and make it better .
But it ’ s out of fear .
People see the numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Close everything !
’ It ’ s not the best way to do it , but it is a fear-driven response .
The virus scares people .
Hopefully , we get the numbers down in the zip codes , the anxiety comes down , and then we can have a smarter , more-tailored approach .
“ Your point is right : why close every school ?
Why don ’ t you test the schools and close the ones that have a problem ?
I know , but , first , I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do that now .
But I can tell you honestly , the fear is too high to do anything other than , ‘ Let ’ s do everything we can to get the infection rate down now , close the doors , close the windows.
’ That ’ s where we are.
” This Is The Predictable Outcome Of Leaving Technocrats In Charge Can anyone be surprised when a member of the technocratic class approaches a perfectly healthy human and instead of choosing the humbling “ If it any broke then don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approach , attempts the “ Let ’ s do everything we can ” approach ?
This is their “ professional deformation ” as the Slovaks like to say about technocrats and a handful of other professionals , who have a hard time separating themselves from their career .
This over-reaction , which we euphemistically call “ overkill , ” a term that can both literally and appropriately be applied to Cuomo ’ s lethal corona response , is exactly what is to be expected of the technocratic class .
This is why a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They think they are miracle-workers , and they treat the state they serve as god-like .
At their hands , we will be led to totalitarianism , provided that they continue to encounter a compliant population .
The Formula Our Technocratic Class Has Borrowed From The Totalitarians Of The Last Century Though this can be elaborated on quite a bit after two decades of interviewing people and trying to make sense of communism , below is the formula that brought totalitarianism to vast portions of the globe and that is now being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Jerusalem : ... Hannah Arendt Best Price : $ 10.67 Buy New $ 11.82 4 . )
It will quickly perpetuate itself as useful idiots , useful innocents , confidence men , and many others collaborate in a self-fulfilling spiral .
5 . )
Once a threshold has been breached , Frankenstein ’ s monster turns on Dr. Frankenstein and runs rampant for some decades hence .
This predictable equation is what I have , in disbelief , never imagined could be implemented on a society without watching it first hand .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , measurable , toxic , self-sabotaging , and total change over such nonsense in under a year .
I ’ m watching it first hand in my American homeland .
So many more died from the lockdown than from Covid , and the immeasurable horrors of the response to Covid beyond that will long be felt in society , even if we return to the old normal today .
I ’ m also watching this strange attitude get exported to vast portions of the globe , though I can ’ t travel to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the veracity of the scattered reports .
Just like the “ free ” media of post-communist former Czechoslovakia , a great number of stories in many foreign newspapers are merely plagiaristic local translations or of New York Times stories or similar coverage .
Having studied this topic of totalitarianism obsessively for the past two decades , I am most grateful for the knowledge I have that prepares me for this moment .
For those in doubt , just have a glance at the last decade of my writing in the website 52 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which was started as a response to the awful coverage of the American media and also the Western-influenced Slovak media on domestic coverage of Slovakia .
The website is a slow , decade-long awakening .
Escape from Evil Becker , Ernest Best Price : $ 9.21 Buy New $ 16.49 In time , I learned a few details about those who successfully avoid the totalitarian .
1 . )
You can ’ t change anyone but yourself .
2 . )
That means you can ’ t change society .
Society may follow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t guarantee that any action you take may change another .
Even the most extreme regimes have learned this .
3 . )
This may be sad to some , but this can also be liberating , for the good news is that you need only focus on yourself and those entrusted to you ( who you also can ’ t change , but who you can lead and be a model for ) .
4 . )
You can choose to be compliant with your own will ; you can choose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will ; you can choose to be compliant with the most trendy , base trends of pop culture ; you can choose to be compliant with the most twisted sycophants and sociopaths of media and culture ; you can choose to be compliant with the most perverse laws and orders of government .
That choice is 100 % yours .
The easy choice is to make no choice , no decision , no commitment , but unless you are as spineless as they come , if you make that easy choice , boy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end up .
5 . )
Show me your friends and I ’ ll show you your future .
You are the sum of the five people you most associate with .
Who you associate with ( for now ) remains your choice .
Choose wisely , because plenty of people are working hard day-and-night in the nexuses of power : in DC , Arlington , Langley , big cities , state capitals , Silicon Valley , and many other places around the world to deny you that most basic freedom of association @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is uncomfortable pushback ?
” you may ask .
Well , I ’ m sorry , that ’ s life and you need to choose your place in life .
As Stephen Baskerville writes “ He who is afraid to anger or offend is not yet a man.
” 7 . )
The choice then is this one , and this one alone .
Will you be compliant or not ?
Will You Be Compliant Or Not ?
Because if you will wear the face mask , then you will take the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face mask , you will believe the election results .
If you will wear the face mask , you will accept the lockdown .
If you will wear the face mask , you will let your mother die alone .
If you will wear the face mask , you will let your son be buried with no funeral .
If you will wear the face mask , when historians one day call it necessary and normal , you will agree .
If you will wear the face mask , then 2020 will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learn to adapt to the worst in humanity , rather than to demand the best .
When you wear the face mask , you tell the world that you are someone who will not identify his boundaries , communicate his boundaries , or defend his boundaries .
You are instead someone with flexible boundaries , waiting for the right confidence man to walk all over you .
How did totalitarian regimes engulf half the world in the Century of the Great State ( 1917-2016 ) ?
That ’ s simple .
By getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of different “ face masks.
” What choices are you making at this moment in order to spread greater liberty in the world ?
If you don ’ t have clear answers , you ’ re probably part of the mass marching us toward normalizacia .

This over-reaction, which we euphemistically call “overkill,” a term that can both literally and appropriately be applied to Cuomo’s lethal corona response, is exactly what is to be expected of the technocratic class. This is why a sane person places no trust in them.
They think they are miracle-workers, and they treat the state they serve as god-like. At their hands, we will be led to totalitarianism, provided that they continue to encounter a compliant population.
The Formula Our Technocratic Class Has Borrowed From The Totalitarians Of The Last Century
Though this can be elaborated on quite a bit after two decades of interviewing people and trying to make sense of communism, below is the formula that brought totalitarianism to vast portions of the globe and that is now being used in the United States: Eichmann in Jerusalem:... Hannah Arendt Best Price: $10.67 Buy New $11.82 (as of 09:20 UTC - Details)
1.) Find a stressful situation.
2.) Stoke fear.
3.) Implement a new normal.
4.) It will quickly perpetuate itself as useful idiots, useful innocents, confidence men, and many others collaborate in a self-fulfilling spiral.
5.) Once a threshold has been breached, Frankenstein’s monster turns on Dr. Frankenstein and runs rampant for some decades hence.
This predictable equation is what I have, in disbelief, never imagined could be implemented on a society without watching it first hand. I just could never imagine such drastic, measurable, toxic, self-sabotaging, and total change over such nonsense in under a year. I’m watching it first hand in my American homeland. So many more died from the lockdown than from Covid, and the immeasurable horrors of the response to Covid beyond that will long be felt in society, even if we return to the old normal today.
I’m also watching this strange attitude get exported to vast portions of the globe, though I can’t travel to those places, so I remain skeptical about the veracity of the scattered reports. Just like the “free” media of post-communist former Czechoslovakia, a great number of stories in many foreign newspapers are merely plagiaristic local translations or of New York Times stories or similar coverage.
52 Weeks In Slovakia
Having studied this topic of totalitarianism obsessively for the past two decades, I am most grateful for the knowledge I have that prepares me for this moment. For those in doubt, just have a glance at the last decade of my writing in the website 52 Weeks in Slovakia, (www.52inkSk.com) which was started as a response to the awful coverage of the American media and also the Western-influenced Slovak media on domestic coverage of Slovakia. The website is a slow, decade-long awakening. Escape from Evil Becker, Ernest Best Price: $9.21 Buy New $16.49 (as of 04:58 UTC - Details)
In time, I learned a few details about those who successfully avoid the totalitarian.
The Individual Solution To Avoiding Totalitarianism
1.) You can’t change anyone but yourself.
2.) That means you can’t change society. Society may follow your lead, but you can’t guarantee that any action you take may change another. Even the most extreme regimes have learned this.
3.) This may be sad to some, but this can also be liberating, for the good news is that you need only focus on yourself and those entrusted to you (who you also can’t change, but who you can lead and be a model for).
4.) You can choose to be compliant with your own will; you can choose to be compliant with your Creator’s will; you can choose to be compliant with the most trendy, base trends of pop culture; you can choose to be compliant with the most twisted sycophants and sociopaths of media and culture; you can choose to be compliant with the most perverse laws and orders of government. That choice is 100% yours. The easy choice is to make no choice, no decision, no commitment, but unless you are as spineless as they come, if you make that easy choice, boy will you hate yourself and where you end up.
5.) Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future. You are the sum of the five people you most associate with. Who you associate with (for now) remains your choice. Choose wisely, because plenty of people are working hard day-and-night in the nexuses of power: in DC, Arlington, Langley, big cities, state capitals, Silicon Valley, and many other places around the world to deny you that most basic freedom of association.
6.) “What if there is uncomfortable pushback?” you may ask. Well, I’m sorry, that’s life and you need to choose your place in life. As Stephen Baskerville writes “He who is afraid to anger or offend is not yet a man.”
7.) The choice then is this one, and this one alone. Will you be compliant or not?
Will You Be Compliant Or Not?
Because if you will wear the face mask, then you will take the vaccine. If you will wear the face mask, you will believe the election results. If you will wear the face mask, you will accept the lockdown. If you will wear the face mask, you will let your mother die alone. If you will wear the face mask, you will let your son be buried with no funeral. If you will wear the face mask, when historians one day call it necessary and normal, you will agree. If you will wear the face mask, then 2020 will be tolerable to you, and you will learn to adapt to the worst in humanity, rather than to demand the best.
When you wear the face mask, you tell the world that you are someone who will not identify his boundaries, communicate his boundaries, or defend his boundaries. You are instead someone with flexible boundaries, waiting for the right confidence man to walk all over you.
How Totalitarian Regimes Engulfed Half The World
How did totalitarian regimes engulf half the world in the Century of the Great State (1917-2016)?
That’s simple. By getting its people to “wear” lots of different “face masks.”
What choices are you making at this moment in order to spread greater liberty in the world?
If you don’t have clear answers, you’re probably part of the mass marching us toward normalizacia. The new normal.

lewrockwell--2020-11-14--Big Data to the Rescue: The Electoral College Meets Data Pattern Science

Too many Americans who never had a civics class are learning about the Electoral College , which they are coming to realize may be James Madison ’ s “ Do-Over Button ” for times just like these .
( If you are under 35 , Madison was a president a long time ago . )
The Electoral College is the last chance to stop a presidential election from going off a cliff .
Let ’ s take some examples .
What if the presidential candidate of a leading party were caught taking bribes from an American enemy and that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What if his son delivered prima facie evidence , and a witness stepped forward weeks before the election and the media suppressed it so the voters never heard a word ?
What if a candidate were in early stage dementia and his party and the media hid it ?
Why We Need the Electo ... Ross , Tara Best Price : $ 14.06 Buy New $ 13.99 What if millions of American voices were suppressed utilizing social media , so only the voices of one party were allowed to speak ?
Oh my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
The Electoral College has a “ do-over button.
” States fail to certify the vote , and Congress decides .
Remember , Congress is the house of the people — Nancy Pelosi notwithstanding .
Madison and his pals actually thought that through over two hundred years ago , no kidding .
It applies only to the presidential vote , not to senators or representatives .
The Founders knew how important it was to get the executive thing right .
So just how do we make a case to the Electoral College that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scale , thwarted the will of the American people ?

Too many Americans who never had a civics class are learning about the Electoral College, which they are coming to realize may be James Madison’s “Do-Over Button” for times just like these. (If you are under 35, Madison was a president a long time ago.)
The Electoral College is the last chance to stop a presidential election from going off a cliff. Let’s take some examples.
What if the presidential candidate of a leading party were caught taking bribes from an American enemy and that was learned after the vote counting began? What if his son delivered prima facie evidence, and a witness stepped forward weeks before the election and the media suppressed it so the voters never heard a word? What if a candidate were in early stage dementia and his party and the media hid it? Why We Need the Electo... Ross, Tara Best Price: $14.06 Buy New $13.99 (as of 07:20 UTC - Details)
What if millions of American voices were suppressed utilizing social media, so only the voices of one party were allowed to speak?
Oh my gosh! How could such things happen?
The Electoral College has a “do-over button.” States fail to certify the vote, and Congress decides. Remember, Congress is the house of the people — Nancy Pelosi notwithstanding.
Madison and his pals actually thought that through over two hundred years ago, no kidding.
It applies only to the presidential vote, not to senators or representatives. The Founders knew how important it was to get the executive thing right.
So just how do we make a case to the Electoral College that massive voter fraud, on an industrial scale, thwarted the will of the American people?

In late-September, entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed that neither he nor his family are in the risk group and therefore they won’t take the coronavirus vaccine.
Elon Musk tweeted on Friday that he had received conflicting coronavirus test results over the course of one day, saying that two of the tests came back negative, while the other two were positive.
Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 13, 2020
Responding to a tweet from a follower, the entrepreneur revealed that he had the symptoms of a typical cold and that it was nothing unusual.
Hmmmm…. Are you feeling any symptoms? — Evelyn Janeidy Arevalo (@JaneidyEve) November 13, 2020
The tech maverick later tweeted that he will get tested by separate labs; the results will be available in 24 hours.
If it’s happening to me, it’s happening to others. I’m getting PCR tests from separate labs. Results will take about 24 hours. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 13, 2020
Previously, Musk had called several times for an end to coronavirus lockdown measures, saying that we should consider population life-months lost from lockdowns and other restrictions versus life-months lost from any given disease.

Democrats remain today the minorities’ party and Republicans the party of America’s white majority. White folks are roughly 60% of the U.S. population, though closer to 70% of the electorate. Both those figures, however, are slowly and steadily falling.
Demography is still destiny.
Republicans are going to have to grow their share of the white vote and their share of the Hispanic, Black and Asian vote or their future will begin to look like California today, where the Grand Old Party does not hold a single statewide office.
There are other presently insoluble problems for the GOP.
Democrats are the party of government and Republicans the party of the private sector. But the number of Americans who depend on federal programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, student loans, housing subsidies, Earned Income Tax Credits, affirmative action — is growing, while the share of the population that contributes most to the programs is shrinking.
The top 1% of the population in income pays more taxes than the bottom 90%. The top 50% of the population pays 97% of the income taxes, while the bottom 50% pays only 3%.
If people who receive a cornucopia of benefits pay no income taxes, then why would they vote against a party that promises them still more benefits, to be paid for by raising the income taxes of someone else?
