Irish Democracy = healthy non-compliance

 

Over at the NY Post, Glenn Reynolds, a/k/a Mr. Instapundit, expands on non-compliance:

If regular democracy isn’t doing so well, maybe it’s time to fall back on “Irish Democracy.”

That’s what Yale political scientist James Scott calls the passive resistance of a society that doesn’t like what its rulers are doing to it. In his book “Two Cheers for ­Anarchy,” he writes, “One need not have an actual conspiracy to achieve the practical effects of a conspiracy. More regimes have been brought, piecemeal, to their knees by what was once called ‘Irish Democracy,’ the silent, dogged resistance, withdrawal and truculence of millions of ordinary people, than by revolutionary vanguards or rioting mobs.”

Irish Democracy is when the populace simply doesn’t cooperate with the agenda. Sometimes there is active sabotage, sometimes surreptitious monkey-wrenching, sometimes foot-dragging and sometimes outright noncompliance. Sometimes it’s all of those at once.

Right now, we are seeing some of that in response to vaccine mandates, mask rules and various other forms of population control that have been adopted since the pandemic struck. Go almost anywhere with a mask mandate, and you will see some people not wearing masks at all, daring anyone to do anything about it (often, they don’t).

You will also see a lot more with the mask pulled down below their noses, providing the vague suggestion of compliance without ­actually going along. These people will usually pull the mask up if asked, but then pull it right back down again as soon as the asker leaves the vicinity. (Hey, why take it seriously when our elites have made clear that the mask rules don’t apply to them and their gatherings?)

These people live for power, so your vote won’t count

 

More A.F. Branco cartoons at Legal Insurrection

The other day at American Greatness, Dan Gelernter explained “Why Your Vote Won’t Count.”  He expects Terry McAuliffe to steal the upcoming Virginia gubernatorial election, just as he predicted that Gavin Newsom would beat the recall vote in California.  He thinks the game is rigged.  Those of us who follow Sundance and the Uniparty arguments will easily understand Mr. Gelernter’s main point:

The thing that ultimately renders our elections meaningless is people like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. They are the most important allies in the conspiracy to steal our elections, precisely because we expect them to be fighting on our side. Fraudulent elections cost Republicans seats—cost Republicans the presidency—so why wouldn’t the most powerful people in the Republican Party be fighting just as hard as they could to expose fraud and pass laws requiring in-person voting with ID?

Here’s the secret answer: These people hate you. Sure, they’re willing to pay lip service to America as a great nation, to churchgoing values, and so forth. But they’re really just Democrats with different special interests: They want to funnel all your money to military contractors instead of environmentalists. People like Donald Trump interfere with that. People like you interfere with that. Because you want the government to mind its own goddamned business. And, on that issue, Mitch McConnell is united with Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) against you. 

These people live for power. They exist for the pleasure of spending your money to retain that power. And, now that they’ve managed to separate that power from public accountability by legalizing mail-in, no-ID, drop-box, multiple-ballot, and similar voting practices, you think they’re going to give all that up?

. . .

Unfortunately, Mr. Gelernter solution is a “Constitutional Convention that restores our elections to their original format: Voting on election day, and in-person.”  But a Constitutional Convention is not necessary;  the states can fix election laws on their own.  Yet what we are seeing right now in Michigan is that it’s always an uphill battle.

The Great Reset a/k/a New World Order

 

Just to define terms, David Risselada explains and puts into historical context “The Great Reset” at thelibertyloft. Here’s his opening.

After nineteen months of continuous propaganda concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, most Americans have now heard the term The Great Reset. For some, these words ring a bell as it is apparent to them the entire agenda revolves around installing the dreaded New World Order. For others, the phrase conjures up images of the whacked-out conspiracy theorist who would refer to the latter as a deplorable in a MAGA hat.

In terms of the Draconian measures taken to stop a disease where ninety-eight percent of those infected survive, a move to a global totalitarian system is clearly underway. COVID-19, whether it was a real pandemic or a manufactured crisis, presents the perfect opportunity to implement systematic change, and move other stalled agendas forward. It highlights a nation’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of its abilities to handle a global disaster, and where global governance failed and needs revision.

To brush aside the term The Great Reset as some crazy conspiracy is to ignore the fact that the preceding words are from the man who first brought it into public consciousness, Klaus Schwab. Head of the World Economic Forum, Schwab certainly knows what the global agenda is, and in his own words, tells us that COVID-19 is the perfect crisis that world leaders cannot let go to waste. In this series of articles, I will analyze these words in an attempt to bring an understanding of what the Great Reset is, and what we can expect in the coming years. The one thing I can say for sure is The Great Reset is not a conspiracy. It is out there in the open for anyone who chooses to see it.

Another “No Fly” list

 

A.F. Branco cartoon via theLibertyLoft.com

Dr. Joseph Mercola is sending out another Red Alert – this time concerning the Biden administration and Fascist Fauci possibly imposing a “no shot, no fly” rule for domestic travel in America.  Dr. Mercola’s article is prefaced with a story-at-a-glance summary, at BasedUnderground:

• The White House is seriously considering a “no shot, no fly” rule within the U.S.

• Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Biden administration’s top medical adviser, is in favor of the idea and stated that “nothing has been taken off the table” when it comes to domestic air travel vaccine mandates

• COVID-19 shots do not prevent transmission and people who have been injected can still spread COVID-19 to others, making vaccine mandates more about compliance than science

• The “science” behind social distancing is also nonexistent, and the 6 feet requirement an arbitrary number created by politics, not science

• The vaccine mandate rhetoric is also ignoring the basic and long-established phenomenon of natural immunity; those who’ve recovered from COVID-19 are naturally immune and don’t need a shot

• The only way to compensate for the assault on freedom happening all around is for people to hear about it and stand up against it

The full story is here.  Plan accordingly.

Not the Babylon Bee: Hunter Biden's Gofundme account

Dr John at Flopping Aces reports that “Hunter Biden Opens A Gofundme account," and here’s the opening illustration:

And here’s the nub of the article:

I remember Biden not cutting Trump any slack for the economy suffering under COVID and I’ll be damned if I am going to cut Biden any slack for Delta. He deserves nothing but scorn.

He’s in trouble and his handlers know it. So they’ve decided to open an unconventional GoFundMe account for Hunter. It goes under the name of the Georges Berges Gallery and it is funded through the sales of [Hunter's] paintings.

Ivermectin, livestock, and Congress

So you thought ivermectin was just for livestock;  humans need to avoid it.  Yup, that’s what the FDA told us (tweet via Daily Kos)  :

You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it.

And now we learn from Sundance at Conservative Treehouse: 

According to Dr Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, and verified by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), 100 to 200 congressional reps and/or staff and families who contracted COVID-19 were treated with the Front Line Ivermectin protocol.

Reader lizzie dw [October 10, 2021 9:29 am] comments:

On another note, here is a list of those exempted from being injected. (per an atty whose name I will not mention who is putting together a RICO suit)

• USPS workers
• all of Congress – House & Senate
• all Congressional staff
• 6000 White House employees
• 2500 Pfizer employees
• 1500 Moderna employees
• 120,000 Johnson Johnson employees
• 15,000 CDC employees
• 14,000 FDA employees
• 18 million Chinese students studying in the US of A
• 2 million illegal invaders
• 500,000 homeless persons

I have not checked each claimed exemption in this comment, although we KNOW the illegal invaders are not being vaxxed or even screened.  But if ANY subset of the population is exempt from getting the [mis-named] “vaccine,” then that gives the game away.  

And now Sundance reports that the Australian state of New South Wales has re-opened – BUT as an apartheid state.  Papers please!   See here.  Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
