We’re in trouble, folks.
Freedom no longer means what it once did.
This holds true whether you’re talking about the right to criticize the government in word or deed, the right to be free from government surveillance, the right to not have your person or your property subjected to warrantless searches by government agents, the right to due process, the right to be safe from militarized police invading your home, the right to be innocent until proven guilty and every other right that once reinforced the founders’ belief that this would be “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”
Not only do we no longer have dominion over our bodies, our families, our property and our lives, but the government continues to chip away at what few rights we still have to speak freely and think for ourselves.
My friends, we’re being played for fools.
On paper, we may be technically free.
In reality, however, we are only as free as a government official may allow.
We only think we live in a constitutional republic, governed by just laws created for our benefit.
Truth be told, we live in a dictatorship disguised as a democracy where all that we own, all that we earn, all that we say and do—our very lives—depends on the benevolence of government agents and corporate shareholders for whom profit and power will always trump principle. And now the government is litigating and legislating its way into a new framework where the dictates of petty bureaucrats carry greater weight than the inalienable rights of the citizenry.
With every court ruling that allows the government to operate above the rule of law, every piece of legislation that limits our freedoms, and every act of government wrongdoing that goes unpunished, we’re slowly being conditioned to a society in which we have little real control over our lives.
As Rod Serling, creator of the Twilight Zone and an insightful commentator on human nature, once observed, “We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think.”
Indeed, not only are we developing a new citizenry incapable of thinking for themselves, we’re also instilling in them a complete and utter reliance on the government and its corporate partners to do everything for them—tell them what to eat, what to wear, how to think, what to believe, how long to sleep, who to vote for, whom to associate with, and on and on.
In this way, we have created a welfare state, a nanny state, a police state, a surveillance state, an electronic concentration camp—call it what you will, the meaning is the same: in our quest for less personal responsibility, a greater sense of security, and no burdensome obligations to each other or to future generations, we have created a society in which we have no true freedom.
Government surveillance, police abuse, SWAT team raids, economic instability, asset forfeiture schemes, pork barrel legislation, militarized police, drones, endless wars, private prisons, involuntary detentions, biometrics databases, free speech zones, etc.: these are mile markers on the road to a fascist state where citizens are treated like cattle, to be branded and eventually led to the slaughterhouse.
Freedom, or what’s left of it, is being threatened from every direction. The threats are of many kinds: political, cultural, educational, media, and psychological. However, as history shows us, freedom is not, on the whole, wrested from a citizenry. It is all too often given over voluntarily and for such a cheap price: safety, security, bread, and circuses.
This is part and parcel of the propaganda churned out by the government machine.
That said, what we face today—mind manipulation and systemic violence—is not new. What is different are the techniques used and the large-scale control of mass humanity, coercive police tactics and pervasive surveillance
Don't let Yourself be Deceived By The Mainstream Narrative Folks 💯
So Biden is lying. I would never have thought……
😰 Disgusting open border democrats could care less for the average American. 😰

Biden is being blackmailed by Russia. No one is this stupid.
Pressure on oil companies not Presidents fault
all the leases offered in Alaska.. 1million acres were not bid on. So Biden cancelled yesterday.
Thank you Joe Biden.
Well there you again Neil C. You weren't very good on FNN and you have not improved.
There is an agenda playing out here. The destruction is their plan to bring about Klaus Schwab and the WEF's GREAT RESET. Biden was there in the front row. You will own nothing and like it. This has to be stopped.
Let's
Go

People didn't start calling Biden out of anything he says on anything.
Energy POWERS every other industry. The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by ALEX EPSTEIN in 2014.
The future bestseller "Fossil Future" by ALEX EPSTEIN on the 24th of May.
So what.
The DNCP wants to ruin Americans.
Those that are currently making "policy" have Our destruction in mind.
Apple is no longer the most valuable company. Saudi Arabia’s Aramco is the most valuable company as of today. Oil if King.
hes literally destroying america!!
You can get murdered for baby formula these days.
Tapping the strategic reserves and not filling it back up. Sounds like a plan to cripple the US ability to have a strategic edge it times of a war at home. Just keep degrading the strength of the US on purpose is what they are doing.
2000 mules.
Does a fake administration , wait flying terrorists in by night , hates cops loves criminals , really loves America ?
Let’s bring the rich to the poor level and see things change. Change they would.
You mean he is a liar. Oh my.
Being Canadian and watching what’s been unfolding in the US since Biden’s “Election”, It’s amazing how in Canada the Liberal government is kneecapping our oil industry while bringing in oil from other questionable countries. Both countries in North America are definitely mirroring each other, politically.
Had lunch with warren buffet lately
Man throws out lies like peanuts ? Dementia or just Force of Habit over all the years ? Maybe if we asked Corn Pop ? 😏
Biden doesn't see a problem.
His plans for America's destruction are right on track.
373 million locked down in China covid
biden is stupider than he is senile. Unfortunately, biden is both a senile moron.
It has everything to do the agenda, and nothing to do with economics.
