It is not even close to our greatest threat.  Is the Democratic Party&#8217;s hard shift to the left, toward Socialism, the greatest threat to the U.S.?  Nope.  Is the dumbing down and sexualization of our children&#8217;s education the biggest problem?  No.  How about the unchecked drugs and massive number of illegal aliens who enter our country through the southern border?  Hardly.  Aha!  The national debt is our greatest threat.  How about China, Russia, parents addressing problems at school board meetings, the supply chain, domestic terrorism?  No, no, no, no, and hell no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Big Lie Theory&#8221;, commonly known as Goebbels Principle, states that if one wrong is reverberated many times then people will accept that wrong as right.  Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels once said, &#8220;Let me control the media and I will turn any nation into a herd of pigs.&#8221;  Can I get a great big Arkansas woo pig sooie from my fellow Americans?  We are witnessing the reenactment of Goebbels&#8217; Big Lie Theory on multiple fronts.  The &#8220;Big Lie&#8221; is better known today as gaslighting.  Democrats repeatedly tell us they are fighting to preserve Democracy in the United States.  Nothing threatens our freedom as much as their constant gaslighting of the American people.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest threat to our Republic is a &#8220;free&#8221; press\/media (PM) combining with a Socialist leaning government that is shredding our Constitution.  None of the threats mentioned above could exist if the PM would do the job our Founding Fathers gave it special privileges to do.  The 1st Amendment to our Constitution prevents the infringement upon the freedom of the press.  Investigative journalists, back when they actually existed, were given wide berth while investigating the wrongdoing of the rich, famous, and powerful.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The relentless investigative work done by journalists Bob Woodworth and Carl Bernstein, known eventually as the Watergate Investigation, resulted in the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon.  I have no doubt that had Nixon been a Democrat, Woodworth and Bernstein would have done the same investigation.  That was then.  One can not say that today as the PM has become a lapdog and protector of Democrats.  We currently have information proving that Democrats, in cahoots with the regular PM and social media (SM), colluded to overthrow a sitting President by covering up damning information that clearly altered the 2020 election.  The New York Post (NYP), one of the oldest newspapers in the nation, had reported a serious political scandal involving the Biden family.  It had captured the information from a laptop that Hunter Biden apparently forgot at a laptop repair shop.  Government employees &#8220;requested&#8221; that Twitter be on the lookout for potential Russian disinformation.  Twitter complied by taking down The NYP&#8217;s feed.  They also took down the accounts of everyone who repeated, or forwarded, the report.  At the same time the PM was reporting that 50 prior intelligence people said the NYP report had all of the markings of Russian misinformation.  Immediately following the election, sixteen percent of those who voted for Biden said they would not have had they known about the information on the laptop.   Whether they would have voted for Trump, or not voted at all, Biden didn&#8217;t win the election by 16%.  Months before the 2020 election SM had already deplatformed the sitting President of the U.S. for what they claimed was Trump&#8217;s passing misinformation about COVID.  That the information Trump posted proved to be accurate was little solace to the campaign.  The President was unable to effectively communicate with his 80 million+ followers.  Trump was then permanently banned from SM after the &#8220;Big Lie&#8221; that he had caused an insurrection on January 6th, 2021.  There was indeed an insurrection.  It was perpetrated by Democrats, then gaslighted by all of the media types, not by the POTUS.  And the pigs continue to eat the slop the media feeds them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Once the Socialists and the PM reckoned that data wouldn&#8217;t support the global warming fiasco they changed the terminology to climate change.  It has been multiple decades since we were first warned about the existential threat of climate change.  We have been relentlessly pounded by the elites and the PM about the necessity to convert our sources of energy from fossil fuels to renewables.  Slowly, a growing number of helpless pigs have bought into that &#8220;Big Lie&#8221;.  Socialists believe they have now converted enough of the gullible into pigs that it is now okay to go all in.  The table was set for a hapless, dementia addled, Uncle Joe to throw down the hammer.  So while Americans sat and watched, even cheered, Biden shut down pipelines, cancelled leases, delayed permitting, and threatened sanctions on banks who dared to lend money to the oil industry.  Biden&#8217;s decision to slash fossil fuel production has sweeping ramifications for people all over the world.  Americans are facing a shortage of all sorts of products on store shelves and soaring fuel and food prices.  People in Europe are facing a winter with a shortage of natural gas and heating oil to keep them warm.  (Every year more people die from freezing than from overheating).  A shortage of food will certainly occur as farmers can&#8217;t get the fertilizers they need to grow bumper crops.  Those fertilizers are byproducts of the fossil fuel industry.  That means that people in poorer countries will literally starve to death because of the Socialists decision to take control over their populations.  The wealthy elites continue to fly all over the world in their private jets and cruise in their mega million dollar yachts while telling us to reduce our carbon foot print.  By the way, if history is a teacher, those pigs who happily go along with this gaslighting will be slaughtered right along with those of us who are fighting against it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The COVID-19 pandemic was real and frightening.  At first.  Then elitist Socialists and the compliant media, social and main stream, decided to use it as a practice exercise.  They wanted to measure how easy it would be to frighten Americans into compliance.  So the &#8220;Big Lie Theory&#8221; was employed.  They began with highly exaggerated predictions as to how many millions of Americans would die due to COVID.  Next we were told we had to stay home.  They began printing the number of COVID deaths that were occurring in the USA.  DAILY.  Next they closed churches, schools, and all forms of commerce that the government decided were nonessential.  Since when does the government have the right to decide which businesses are nonessential?  It doesn&#8217;t!  According to the Constitution, it doesn&#8217;t have the right to close churches.  EVER.  When the number of deaths subsided, the PM changed to reporting the number of hospitalizations.  DAILY.  When vaccines became available the government terrorists told everyone they had to get vaccinated.  They told us that we were now in a pandemic of the unvaccinated.  A lie.  We were told that if you were vaccinated you would not get the virus.  A total lie.  We were told that drugs like Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and others, were ineffective against the virus.  A deadly lie.  Doctors who reported that these drugs were saving their patients lives were threatened with the loss of license.  Epidemiologists who reported their effectiveness were blacklisted by SM and publicly scorned by the PM.  They were removed from SM platforms for passing misinformation.  The government decided to check the compliance level of nurses and cops.  It threatened them, and others, with a deadline to either get the vaccine or get fired.  Nurses and cops could have ended this charade almost immediately.  Had they decided, en masse, to walk off the job at the deadline they would have called the government&#8217;s bluff.  I don&#8217;t blame them for not doing it, but that would have forced the Socialists to retreat.  Unfortunately, the PM and SM was at full throttle crucifying anyone who wouldn&#8217;t comply.  They were called uncaring about their families and neighbors.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Socialists, the PM , and the SM, now know it is possible to turn our nation into a &#8220;herd of pigs&#8221;.   And they know how to do it.  I will close with a personal experience that I found deeply moving.  Most of you are aware of a barber in Owosso, MI. who dared to defy Frau Whitmer&#8217;s illegal edicts.  His name is Karl Manke.  He continued to cut hair after being ordered to close.  He saw his license revoked and was threatened with jail.  He continued to cut hair and filed suit against the State.  There isn&#8217;t much one person can do to support a man like Mr. Manke.  I decided to do what little I could to demonstrate there were people who supported his efforts.  I made an appointment and drove the 2 hours to Owosso to get my hair cut and to meet this man.  We talked about a lot of different things and exchanged books.  He made one particular comment that has stuck with me since the summer of 2020.  He said, &#8220;I will not be like the Jews who were loaded into cattle cars and crated to their eventual demise by the Nazis&#8221;.  We are not at that point in our country, yet.  But I couldn&#8217;t help but think of that comment as I watched the people  in &#8220;the land of the free and the home of the brave&#8221; succumb to illegal government mandates.  We sat idly by as our children were harmed, perhaps irreparably, by being shut out of their schools.  We were forcefully separated from our places of worship.  People were forced into bankruptcy when their businesses and places of employment were closed.  Some of them permanently.  Millions of able bodied Americans have chosen to go on the government dole rather than to go back to work.  We allowed our government to keep us from our loved ones as they lay on their death beds.  We are not yet ready to be marched onto cattle cars leading to our demise.  It seems clear that the &#8220;herd of pigs&#8221; is willing to do whatever they are told in order to be safe.  The &#8220;Big Lie Theory&#8221; is alive and well in the greatest nation on earth.  If we don&#8217;t wake up, and soon, the only thing future generations of Americans will know about freedom is what they are told by their elders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As an aside, this blog was produced before Elon Musk publicized the horrifying information from inside the Twitter platforms last evening.  God help us if we don&#8217;t aggressively demand that Congress put an end to this kind of manipulation in the PM and the SM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for taking the time to read my latest blog.  If you think it has value please share it with all of your friends.  It should bother every freedom loving American regardless of their political affiliation.
