Demockracy: A More Sophisticated Tyranny

Democracy:

  1. government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.

Apparently, Canadians enjoy such a form of government. If so, that’s news to the 20 indigenous bands whose elected chiefs signed agreements to help build the Coastal GasLink pipeline.  The bands voted to choose their representatives. The Chiefs voted for a huge project that would provide opportunity, revenue, and good paying jobs to their communities. Business would flourish. Taxes would flow. Win-win-win. A perfect example of government by the people. Textbook democracy.

Demockracy:

  1. government over the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the government and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under an ideologically corrupt electoral system.

The Trudeau Liberals, however, pipeline and prosperity haters that they are, had a problem. How could they shut down the pipeline and not look like they were intentionally harming indigenous peoples who voted for it? They found the solution in the unelected Wet’suwet’en Hereditary “chiefs”, a few of whom objected to the project. The Liberals, with plenty of support from the media, chose the unelected chiefs to speak for the bands, essentially rendering the band member’s vote and the Chief’s decisions meaningless. Textbook demockracy.

“Experts” own your vote.

The Wet’suwet’en Hereditary chiefs did not usurp the band member’s votes themselves, they were simply a proxy for the real vote stealer, climate “experts” whose model predictions, like the COVID-19 predictions, have failed to materialize. Our big mistake is believing the models are meant to reflect reality. They aren’t, they are purposely designed to generate existential threats. The “experts” then say, “we’re all going to die unless we do something drastic”. The government, well, their hands are tied. Who are they to defy the “experts”? They don’t really want to implement policy that transfers wealth and freedom from the people to the rulers, they’re forced to in order to save lives.

It’s a beautiful scam that allows government to assume absolute power while delegating responsibility to the “experts” whose opinion now matters more than our votes. It is a much more elegant path to power than gulags or firing squads. Demockracy is a sophisticated form of oppression. A kinder, gentler tyranny.

Political ideology is irrelevant. Both progressive and conservative governments bowed to the “expert’s” demands to shut down our economies and lockdown the people. None questioned the accuracy of the models. None dared defy the new overlords, the “expert” class who keep getting everything wrong but still keep their exalted status. How does that work?

The media choose the “experts”

Think about it. What expert comes to mind when you think about climate change? The IPCC? Greta? The WWF, perhaps? How is it that a trace gas that comprises a mere .04% of the atmosphere, a substance we exhale with each breath, a component necessary for life on earth, can become a toxic climate killer with a greater climatic impact than the sun? Was there a debate? No. The media decided there was a crisis and they determine who is and isn’t a climate expert. If you agree with the consensus you are worthy, if you don’t, you’re a climate denier regardless of your PHD and 30 years working and teaching in the field.

The climate models predicted the end of polar ice and a burning planet. They were proven wrong years ago, and are still wrong, but the climate “experts” who agree, the all-powerful consensus, are still relied upon by our governments to shape climate policy. Consensus and science are mutually exclusive terms. A consensus has zero scientific value, none. However, it provides the “expert” opinion favoured by demockracies so it’s here to stay.

The COVID modellers are already proven wrong but their expertise is still shaping policy. The truth that COVID-19 is a bad flu that targets the elderly is coming out. Even the CDC admits it has a remarkably low death rate.

What would be really nice is if leaders like Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Kenney looked at the new CDC numbers and asked themselves, hey, what are we doing here? It’s ludicrous to close schools, playgrounds, and parks. It’s unnecessary to shut down business. Social distancing and masks are pointless. We are ending COVID policing, a policy doing grave damage to the relationship between society and authority, and we are opening up immediately.

It would be even better if they asked the media why news feeds remain filled with concerns about society re-opening, fears about a second wave, worry about people violating social distancing, the need for testing, vaccines, and contact tracing? Why don’t they throw the declining death rate in the media’s face and ask why they insist Canadians suffer further harm?

Our leader’s inability or unwillingness to step up is disconcerting. Their continued reliance on “experts” who are nothing of the sort and their whimpering acquiescence to a media who divorced the truth long ago is pushing people to the brink.

Taking Freedom Back

We the people are beginning to understand that if we want to live in freedom, we’ll have to step outside our comfort zone and demand it. The growing protests are a start, but they won’t change the flawed infrastructure of our demockracy.

Fledging groups like “Unify The People” are forming with the goal of declaring provincial independence and sovereignty. They are regular people tired of demockratic tyranny. The battle is on.

Calgarian Donna Ferolie has filed suit against the Federal government claiming that Frederick Haultain never signed Alberta into Confederation. Jason Kenney says he wants a fair deal and if Donna is right, he has all the leverage he needs to create a new, fair Canadian Confederation that respects the rights and freedoms of the people. Mr. Kenney, make Canada a democracy again.

In my opinion, Gov. Cooper is saying to Republicans, not in my state


If Gov. Cooper refuses to completely reopen the state, drop his draconian restrictions, before August, then I can say with certainty that he kept restrictions in place to force the convention to move to another state

Gov. Cooper is saying to Republicans, not in my state

Back in March, Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina announced a statewide stay-at-home lock down order that was supposed to last for only 30 days. According to Cooper, restricting freedom of movement was necessary to curtail the spread of coronavirus and prevent hospitals from being overrun with patients. Cooper ordered people to stay in their homes, and businesses to close, and I reiterate, for only 30 days.

Moreover, Cooper had already ordered all schools to close through mid-May, banned gatherings of more than 10 people, ordered hair salons, gyms and movie theaters to close, and ordered restaurants to stop dine-in service. Cooper shut down all businesses that he didn’t deem essential, and required individuals outdoors to stay 6 feet apart.

I suspect Cooper, a partisan Democrat

Cooper’s stay at home order should have ended before May, and if it had, he could have claimed complete success. As a matter of fact, far too many hospitals and medical facilities had to layoff staff. Hospitals were not overwhelmed with patients. In fact, some hospitals were operating with a skeleton staff, no doctors to speak of, or patients either. But that didn’t ease Cooper’s restrictions on freedom and self determination.

So far, Cooper has only agreed to allow restaurants and other service oriented businesses to open with restrictions on capacity. Bars, nightclubs, gyms and fitness facilities, playgrounds, bowling alleys and entertainment facilities, such as movie theaters, were ordered to remain closed.Cooper placed restrictions on religious services, but they were shot down by a Federal Judge, so there’s no restrictions on religious services.

All other gatherings are restricted to a maximum of 10 people indoors and no more than 25 outdoors, and that’s concerning to the President and Republican Convention planners. Cooper’s restrictions make it impossible to hold the Republican Convention in North Carolina.

Moreover, Cooper knows the convention can not take place in North Carolina with the restrictions he has in place. If he continues to refuse to commit to drop his arbitrary restrictions on gatherings before August, the Republican Convention will have to move to another state, and that seems to be what Cooper really wants. In my opinion, Gov. Cooper is saying to Republicans, ‘Not in my state’.

In fact, if Cooper had kept his word in the beginning, the state would already be open for business. I suspect Cooper, a partisan Democrat, will try to justify extending his arbitrary restrictions on gatherings through August, when the Republican convention is scheduled to take place in Charlotte.

Cooper’s extended shutdown has already caused massive damage to the economy

If the convention has to move to another state, it will be detrimental to the welfare of the people of North Carolina. Cooper’s extended shutdown has already caused massive damage to the economy and the well-being of the people of North Carolina. North Carolina desperately needs the economic boost and return of jobs that the convention will bring to the state.

As a matter of fact, the Republican Convention will bring an infusion of desperately needed cash to hotels, restaurants, airlines and car rental companies that employ North Carolinians. The convention will bring jobs and desperately needed business to North Carolina.

If Gov. Cooper refuses to completely reopen the state, drop his draconian restrictions, before August, then I can say with certainty that he kept restrictions in place to force the convention to move to another state. I say that because we all know that viruses do not spread during the summer months.

Is Gates Stupid or Very Clever with Vaccines?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate

Re-Posted May 27, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Dear Mr Armstrong
I was in a discussion with a friend about current affairs – me, against Bill Gates and the likes and him, taking a more neutral stance. He asked if I watched some or anything he actually said. I said yes, well at least what you have posted I have watched in its entirety. I remember when you wrote about how to consider the position of the other side, even (or especially) when one it is opposed as to being the perceived enemy, be it Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump or Kim Jong Un. Now for me it Bill Gates these days. So my friend challenged me when he said that Bill’s view is that „a certain health standard (e.g. Through vaccination) would help less developed countries having to rely on large families for existential (= security) reason, therefore it would solve overpopulation…”. That certainly is way that I could not really argue against, was I to remember my Polish grandmother and siblings and how they had to essentially survive those days making their number count and work hard today to even make ends meet the next.

So I looked into this, what Bill Gates said about this (and luckily found a short video) where says precisely what I got to hear from my friend:
What is your view about this – would a certain level (albeit not reached via the almighty Socialism) of health and wealth globally make an end to the debate of overpopulation (which I anyway think is absurd for that matter, basing on that book by Malthus) and would that actually constitute a viable/true „thing” Bill Gates is pursuing (Here he comes, the savior of the poor and overpopulating)?

I am just trying to figure out how would I behave in such a position….
Thank you for all your work that driven NOT by profit and personal gain!

JL

ANSWER: Either Bill Gates is amazingly ignorant, or he is engaging in sophistry to sell his population-climate change agenda. The mistake people are making here is they are judging the third world on our own. What he is saying is that vaccinating everyone will mean they have a healthier child so they will need fewer children, which is absolutely a joke. The population naturally declines ONLY with economic advancement.

This has been the case from ancient times when the Roman Emperor Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) passed family laws to force men to marry because the Latin population was declining. The birth rates have declined substantially in Japan, Europe, and America with the rise in the economy. Russia was paying $9,000 for women to have children because the population declines only with economic advancement.

The reason is very simple. In an agrarian society, you have more children for they are your retirement and they take care of you in your old age and allow the farm to keep producing. You would typically have several children because also the mortality rate was high. The man was typically twice the age of his bride before 1800 because he had to FIRST prove himself by getting the farm, chickens, and house to show he could afford a family.

The age difference declined with the industrial revolution to the point it was only 50% older by 1900, dropping to perhaps 10-15 years older by 1930. It was after the Great Depression with the introduction of socialism that the age difference fell to near zero because the boy no longer needed to prove himself – we just love each other became the justification.

Postwar (1945), the government was there, not just for social benefits, but the introduction of Social Security also relieved the children of the burden of having to take care of their parents — that became the government’s job. This changed the very structure of families in the United States as was the case in Europe.

Where Gates’ proposition falls apart is that these third world countries are still in the agrarian stage and they lack the economic development that reduces the population. They need the children to run the farm and they need them for retirement for they lack such pension schemes. Just look at what happened in China with the one-child rule. The boy left for the economic lure of the big city, leaving the parents alone without support. Back in 2013, China had to pass a law that the children must visittheir parents. Elderly couples began importing girls from Southeast Asia to take care of them and they would leave them the property.

Sorry, I cannot believe Gates is that stupid. I believe it is merely his excuse for the depopulation of the earth and his father was a member of Eugenics which believed in the superiority of the Nordic-Anglo-Saxon Race genetically and were actively seeking to reduce the population of darker skinned people where Gates has focuses – India & Africa.

There is absolutely no support whatsoever for his claim that vaccinating children will make them healthier so they will have less. Donate food if that is really the issue – but there is no profit in that.

Their economic conditions in the third world do not support that conclusion. If he was really serious about that, then help them become industrialized and provide free food. Or wait, let me see, that would impact his climate change.

Thuringia in Germany Abandons Virus Restrictions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Posted May 27, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The free state of Thuringia in Germany, which has 2.15 million inhabitants, has declared that it will abolish all national corona protection regulations as of June 6. This means that the previous rules on minimum social distances, wearing masks, and contact restrictions will no longer apply. The socialists in the SPD have criticized the planned relaxation of the corona requirements. The SPD thinks the people are stupid and just still need clarity. Meanwhile, Bavaria’s state government said it is “horrified that elementary protective measures should now be abandoned,” according to Florian Herrmann, who is the head of the Bavarian State Chancellery, according to the German Press Agency (dpa). The Greens have also come out against any relaxation.

We can see that it is the environmentalists and the Socialists banning together to try to keep society divided and the economy in a downward spiral to achieve their end goals — a New Green World Order where paper money is eliminated and taxes can then be imposed arbitrarily. They fail to understand that most revolutions take place over tax increases. They are insane with their objectives and we see the federal government claiming it is willing to only help environmentally directed companies.

RUMOR

We have reliable rumors behind the curtain coming from Europe that beginning in 2021, all foreign citizens will be required to undergo a pre-screening and registration process, which will be known as the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before entering European Schengen-zone countries. Not all EU members are part of this Schengen agreement – notably Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. While this system was on schedule before the coronavirus, what is being suggested is that this should now include a health certificate to prove you have been vaccinated to visit Europe by Bill Gates.

If there is one way to kill tourism in Europe, they seem to have discovered that perfect law. Instead of the old Berlin Wall, it will become the European Wall.

Imposing this type of health clearance on top of a pre-clearance to travel will most likely only accelerate the breakup of the EU as Southern Europe is thrown into an economic depression killing all tourism as other member states are already telling their people not to leave their home state for fear of the virus.

Navarro Hints President Trump Likely to Lower Hammer on China…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on May 26, 2020 by 

White House Trade and Manufacturing Advisor Peter Navarro has a good discussion with Martha MacCallum about the economy, White House economic policy and the focus in the aftermath of the COVID crisis to reemphasize an industrial resurgence in the U.S.

As Navarro outlines the focus of the administration policy is on Main Street and driving the main street economy that overwhelmingly benefits middle-class workers.

That said, when questioned about President Trump’s recent tone toward China, Navarro hints toward what many expect… President Trump is going to deliver a very deliberate, very strategic, very focused and very painful economic blow to Beijing.  WATCH:

Joe Biden Tells Supporters “Wear a Mask”…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on May 26, 2020 by 

The circle of virtue signaling is now complete.   It became apparent during Memorial Day weekend the resistance allies, democrats and media, were going to use the wearing of “masks” as the hot new 2020 virtue signal.  All of the Blue-bot governors quickly fell into line with their own demands for compliant mask wearing in their states.

As with most modern left-wing extremes, influencing the behavior is an issue of control, a compliant community, it takes a village etc.  The issue is not medical benefit.  Toward that end, Joe Biden gets the command signal and joins the movement:

This provides the media with a social narrative to push hard and exploit for political division; a very Alinsky strategy.  Mask wearers become virtuous doers of goodness and virtue; non-mask wearers become visible enemies, targets for the drones.

Thus the politicization of masks is complete.

How do you defeat them? Easy, use their own playbook (Alinsky) and have fun (Breitbart).  Make them live up to their own rules.  Every time they are spotted without a mask, laugh at them and call them out on their hypocrisy.  They hate that.

Their communal tribe members cannot survive the ridicule when their inherent individualism does not want to adhere to the social demand.  Members don’t want to wear masks and the ridicule hits harder and has greater damage because of it.  Freedom is fun, the tribe mindset can only survive in an echo-chamber.

Twitter Intervenes to Control Speech of The President…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on May 26, 2020 by 

Many people foresaw this likely happening and today it begins. Twitter has intervened in the tweets and speech of the President of the United States to review, censor and use their own perspectives to countermand the opinions of President Donald Trump.

By taking this position Twitter has put themselves into the position of arbitrating the opinions of general speech. This is a remarkable shift in the control mechanism of the platform which will likely have ramifications.

However, beyond the intervention, it is worth pointing to the specific issue that has triggered their decision. Note the issue of greatest concern to the command authority of Twitter is specifically mail-in ballots; this is not accidental.

There has been a general likelihood, a very predictable strategy, that mail-in ballots, and the ability to control them was the primary goal of Democrats and the far-left in this election cycle.  As all previous efforts to remove President Trump have failed, the control of the 2020 election became even more important.

There are trillions at stake.

Mail-in ballots are the goal.  A 2020 election outcome based on mail-in ballots is the overarching objective for democrats this year.  2018 was a test run in the process.  2020 was always the goal.

Sending two ballots to democrats, and one to registered republicans is one method.  Controlling the mail carrying system is another.  Selecting ballots for counting based on zip code political registration is yet another still.  Ballot harvesting continues the overall process.  The list of ways to manipulate voter mail-in election outcomes is very long.

This strategy ties in with the Blue state governors destroying their economy, holding shut their regional economies, and yet not worrying about any election outcome is a downstream result of this plan-of-action.

Nationally democrats plan to use federal bailouts to replace lost revenues in the Blue states that are in a zero-sum position financially.  States like New York, Rhode Island, Illinois and California were already on the cusp of financial collapse; they have nothing to lose from going all-in for the bailout approach.

If the blue states get the bailout they win, if they don’t they are in trouble; however, they were already in trouble prior to the COVID-19 economic contraction, so they have nothing to lose by positioning everything contingent on a federal bailout.

That bailout then allows the state officials to pick winners and losers on a state basis.  The same approach used by President Obama in the trillion dollar prior bail-out known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 2009.   The same purpose was achieved in thee earlier construct.

A federal bailout protects their prior overspending.  Then, full control over the mail-in ballots provides them the security they need for the 2020 election.  Do not expect UniParty Republicans to oppose this effort.

Just like when the DC republicans supported the attacks against the Tea Party groups (protect their own incumbency), the DC decepticons will offer only weak verbal opposition to this effort; nothing of substance.   In reality the Democrats and Republicans both benefit from the removal of President Trump and a return to the status-quo.

The plan has been visible for quite some time.  Hence CTH earlier warning:

 

Why did we make that suggestion two weeks ago?

…. Because once you see the strings on the marionettes, it’s impossible to watch the DC pantomime and not see them

Comrade Crazy – Governor Gretchen Whitmer Claims She is Being Victimized By Citizens of Michigan…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on May 26, 2020 by 

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer addressed the issue of her husband attempting to use his position to get their personal boat prepped and in the water prior to Memorial day so they could enjoy the holiday. The Michigan governor said her husband was joking when he told the boat storage operator he was the husband of the governor and asked if that would move him up in the line of requests.

Additionally Governor Whitmer highlights how the citizens of Michigan are victimizing her; including scary men who have surrounded her home while carrying “automatic weapons.” Whitmer says the COVID-19 virus has created an undue hardship on her and her family, and she is burdened by hurt feelings and wounded sensibilities.  Whitmer personifies what happens when left-wing moonbats are allowed to gain political power.

.

Additionally (below), Whitmer denies reports that her family violated her own stay-home orders and traveled to their second home. She insists her husband only traveled to their second home to rake leaves by moonlight for one, or, well, maybe two days… or something.

.

.

On a positive note.  Whitmer will never be Biden’s VP selection.  Whitmer carries a personality trait found in many moonbats; every time she opens her mouth she is becomes even more unlikeable.

THE UNITED STATES OF CHINA


The Chinese communist party wants to immediately enact a new “national security” law in Hong Kong. The law would effectively end Hong Kong’s independence as well as their civil liberties. Freedom is a dire threat to the Chicoms’ so-called ’security.’

President Xi, like the rest of his comrades in power, is an atheist and as such they only worship their own power. Ethics and conscience are superfluous. The Chicoms do not hesitate to arrest and imprison those who don’t obey completely. There is no real freedom in China—especially religious freedom. The communists want complete control of their citizenry. Through mass tracking and a social credit system, they have achieved that objective.

The Chinese are used to getting their way. Until Trump came to the White House, presidents caved in to China at every turn. Clinton even gave them missile technology. Biden engaged in nepotistic corruption with Beijing. The Democrats seem to love China. So does social media–especially Google and Facebook. Mark Zukerberg, the CEO of Facebook, admires China and their form of censorship. He even asked President Xi to name his baby. Silicon Valley wants globalism and each human tracked, chipped, and controlled. They prefer censorship over our First Amendment.

A Chinese general once declared an intention to eventually wipe out Americans and invade our country. China is a crowded country and the general considered America to be the new ‘lebensraum.’ But a future threat from China is not what this cartoon is about. China has already been busy conquering us by stealing intellectual property, then using slave labor to crank out derivative products at a lower cost. They have spies everywhere all over the world. They pressure the media to cave into their demands. For example, we’re not allowed to say a virus emerged from China. Oh no—that’s ‘racist.’

Chicom operatives also make sure Hollywood does not produce anything that puts their country in a bad light. Hollywood always caves. After all, China is a big market for their films. Same with the NBA. They caved to evil, communist thugs without a second thought.

America won’t become China due to military defeat, but rather from within. People such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and the Democrat socialists would love to emulate communist China right here in the USA. It’s unfortunate that so many citizens will obey them in lockstep and without question when they should be emulating the freedom fighters in Hong Kong.
