Vaccine Passports: Coming to a neighborhood near you?

 

Terry Paulding at American Thinker describes what life is like now in San Francisco, but it’s not just Californians who are miserable; the tyranny of elite politicians and bureaucrats can spread anywhere:

After two solid years of COVID restrictions, many of us have reached a breaking point.  Witness the mass exodus to other states from sunny California.  Who wouldn't want to get out of here, away from this strangling, prison-like "reality"?

Malaise is now spreading throughout the country, as a direct result of Biden's mass migration.  How do you know that your chosen destination hasn't been set upon by a horde of unknown, unemployed migrants?  This makes moving elsewhere less attractive.  You can't know what you'll find when you get there, but it might be just as bad — or if clandestine flights continue, will be soon.  Moving to the south of Texas or Arizona is certainly no longer attractive.  You must pity the people stuck dealing with the relentless and dangerous influx.

Locally, as of yesterday, I've become an Untouchable.  I can no longer eat in a restaurant in any of the communities surrounding my home, or legally enter my gym, attend a concert, go to a museum, or do anything that enriches life beyond the bare bones of going shopping for food or goods or taking a walk outdoors.  Why?  Because I refuse to carry or show a "vaccine passport" or share my "status."

. . .

They have ways to keep us in line.  Why else the twisted J6 narrative and the prisoners' plight?  It's a blatant warning to all of us, in this über-political atmosphere, that unconstitutional imprisonment, without bail or trial, could be anyone's fate.  Watch what you do or say!  You could be next!

We are heading precipitously toward becoming a society that is as repressive and over-controlled as any communist regime.  Force everyone to have a digital vaccine card, and they have won control.  They'll be able to identify — and eventually weed out — those of us who are "non-compliant."  The gamble, that they can get it done before the midterms...we shall see!  Hopefully, although we seem to be losing the battle right now, we can still grind slowly toward winning the war.

Socialists Condemn Workers Of The World For Uniting

 

You have nothing to lose but your chains!  The Babylon Bee strikes again:

OTTAWA—Socialists around the world are condemning the trucker freedom protest in Canada as the working class unites to defend their human rights. 

"When workers of the world unite against overbearing government mandates, that's literal fascism," said a sobbing socialist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from deep within his top-secret bunker underneath Washington, D.C. "True, compassionate socialism is when the government partners with private corporations to force experimental drugs on the populace and threaten their very livelihoods if they don't. Everyone knows that."

According to sources, socialists were initially thrilled by the trucker convoy, as they had mistaken it for a bread line. To their dismay, they soon found out that it was a toxic freedom march organized by the working class against the Canadian bourgeois.

2000 Mules: Dinesh D’Souza Documentary On Voter Fraud

 

JD Rucker at NOQ has the report and embedded video of the trailer:

Since Joe Biden was inaugurated as President of the United States, many if not most conservatives who believed the election was stolen have given up hope. Despite mountains of evidence showing massive, widespread voter fraud, the cases were never adjudicated. An unprecedented propaganda and gaslighting campaign launched showing just how ubiquitous the cover-up was.

But some of us have held on. We continue to report voter fraud news as it comes in. There have been many videos made purporting to prove the election was stolen, but they rarely cause more than a minor stir. A new one is coming, and it is the most promising one we’ve seen to date because of the source: Dinesh D’Souza.

Few conservative filmmakers are in the same league as D’Souza when it comes to the credibility of his work. He and his team are meticulous. They check and recheck their facts before putting it all together in D’Souza’s classic documentary style. And while many conservatives have little room for hope at this stage in the game, perhaps having D’Souza behind this effort will bring back the spark.

We and others have contended that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election in a landslide, but a well-planned operation perpetrated by multiple bad actors reversed the results after the fact. It seemed as if everyone was involved from the average poll workers all the way up to the heights of the Deep State. We believe the Chinese Communist Party was involved, as were several technology companies associated with the election.

Mainstream media and Big Tech did their parts to cover it all up. It has been difficult to determine if they were insiders in the conspiracy or simply willing pawns who allowed their own radical progressive biases and anti-Trump sentiment guide their actions. Either way, they are complicit.

The election was stolen. That much has been crystal clear since November 4, 2020. Will Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary finally be able to turn the tide towards the truth?

Good question.  Share the link with those on your list.  Source: Rucker at NOQ here.

Americans Salute Canadian 'Freedom Convoy' truckers

T. LaDuke at Red State salutes the Canadian truckers:

. . .

Truckers are the lifeblood of any country and the federal government of Canada had zero issues with “essential” border crossings in all of 2020 and 2021 with no vaccine mandate. The mandates are not based on anything scientific but are just the will of some overpaid employees working for a faceless bureaucracy who believe their authority is supreme. These overbearing mandates have spread to businesses still being closed and set to reopen at an arbitrary date set by Ottawa and extend to school kids wearing masks in gym class.

This is not about the safety and well-being of citizens but willy nilly policy crafted by bored bureaucrats with the force and the full weight and enforcement power of the Canadian Federal Government. They can and have been making average Canadians’ lives miserable based on a hunch and the result was Saturday, January 29th in Ottawa.

Canada has had enough.

The quote above [the one about freedom not being free] from then-Governor Ronald Reagan is something that many of us Americans will bandy about at times to try and remind ourselves that the freedom the generation before handed off to us is something truly worth preserving. We read the words but don’t always grasp the true meaning because we have become a bit fat and lazy while feasting on the freedom buffet we were born into but might not have really earned.

Yesterday, Canada showed us how to start earning it and, my Lord, it was a marvel to watch. As an American, this is not the position I thought I would ever find myself in, praising another country on how to do the “freedom thing.” Yet here I am, and I am incredibly grateful to our Canadian cousins for the lesson brought to us from them.

If you value your freedom and believe that it is just one generation away from being taken away from you, as Reagan so eloquently warned, then today you stand with Canada and her patriots who love their country but do not support its government’s policies.

Today, that makes us all Canadians.

Blockchain Republics: good news?

I would not have been able to define the word “blockchain” before reading J B Shurk’s column at American Thinker.  Here’s how he describes it -- and why it makes him optimistic:

. . . blockchain is a decentralized database of transactions, and the rate of its adoption around the world is occurring twice as fast as the internet's during its genesis.  It is transforming the world of finance by introducing the existence of digital cryptocurrencies and other financial instruments that cannot be controlled or manipulated by central banks or government spendthrifts.  It will not stop there.  It represents a revolutionary redesign in the ways information, wealth, and governance function by undercutting centralized authority and empowering everyone else.  It is the ultimate tool for slicing and dicing international authoritarianism into parts too dispersed for search engine and social media censors, corporate news propagandists, central bank thieves, or one-world government oligarchs to control.

If you have wondered why totalitarianism has come back into fashion and why Western leaders have spurned freedom for talk of wobbly notions of "democracy," it is because the decentralizing benefits of blockchain technology have the potential to flip the hierarchy of power on its head.  Imagine a future where banks become unnecessary, central banks become obsolete, trade of goods and services no longer requires third-party lawyers or brokers, and personal wealth is secure from the snooping eyes of State agents.  Imagine if Google's search engine, Twitter's and Facebook's fake "free speech" platforms, and breaking news websites could not be manipulated by corporate intermediaries working to stifle certain points of view and push others.  Imagine if services once traditionally left to the government sphere could be contracted among private towns and citizens without any space for regulators or lawmakers to intervene.  Imagine a world in which free speech and free trade are truly free, private property is secure from government taxation, Election Day votes are all easily verifiable through a public ledger, and people can choose to share information and ideas without the cultural Marxism of political correctness turning rights into liabilities.  Moving away from transactions controlled and monitored by "elites," corporations, and governments and toward blockchain transactions that are "housed" nowhere, cannot be altered, and remain secured from bad actors means a system where censorship, coercion, and government monopoly fade away.  

In other words, blockchain technology is the mother of all nuclear warheads against the Davos crowd's dreams of global empire and domination.  No wonder we've had to go into medical lockdown for two years while the super-secret 1% of the 1% figure out how to "Great Reset" the world before the world figures out how to great reset them.

I remain convinced that we are on the threshold of a renaissance for freedom that cannot be terminated early by the collection of corporate, banking, and government powers working so hard today to maintain total control over their populations.  . . .
