JB Shurk at NOQ analyzes how communists are forcing the New World Order:
The Three Cs Preventing Total State Control
If you were a time-traveling
supervillain intent on world domination, how might you change the past in order
to seize total control of the present? I’d get rid of the personal
automobile, unsupervised cash transactions, and uncontrolled mass
communication. If you take away freedom of movement, freedom of
commerce, and freedom of speech, then you can keep people isolated, dependent
on government welfare, and ignorant of any ideas that might threaten the power
of the State. Cars, cash, and communication are tools for promoting
and protecting freedom, so if your goal is total State control over the
individual, the three big Cs must go.
Is it a coincidence, then, that
Western governments today seem committed to following that very
playbook? They can’t go back in time and un-invent the automobile,
but they can make cars so prohibitively expensive through endless regulation
that only the wealthiest among us eventually own them. They can’t
surveil every market transaction, but they can make it increasingly difficult
to exchange goods or services without using traceable electronic platforms.
They can’t completely shut down
email, social media, or the Internet without shutting down power grids, but
they can partner with ideologically-aligned tech monopolists to censor
information and viewpoints, limit anonymity, and track users. Who
needs time travel when it is possible to transform freedom-enhancing
technologies into systems of State control?
I know we’re all supposed to
believe that carbon dioxide plant food is evil, and the only way to “save the
planet” is to ban everyone (except the “elites”) from using energy, but it sure
is convenient that a century after the automobile revolutionized the world, the
“ruling class” wants to de-revolutionize mass mobility. In the late
nineteenth century, most people lived and died in the towns where they were
born. With highway systems and the internal combustion engine,
personal freedom jumped by leaps and bounds.
And Mr. Shurk concludes:
Can you remember a time when
disagreement was accepted as a vital part of a healthy and free
society? Can you remember a time when speech was not policed and
people were not fired for their personal beliefs? Can you remember a
time when self-sufficiency was a virtue and government dependence was something
to avoid? Can you remember a time when freedom was not something
“handed out” for good behavior? If you can, then you know what’s
already been lost. And unless Americans demand control over their
own futures once again, you know how much more there is still left to lose.
