Lawless Anti Constitutional California Attorney General




[From article]
Kamala Harris, the Attorney General of California, is an example of the new jackbooted fascists pretending to be responsible public officials.
Democrat politicians like Harris and Jerry Brown demonstrate their disgust with the Constitution by placing their own political beliefs above the will of the people, when Brown refused to defend Californians votes for Prop 8, and free speech, when Harris tries to criminalize speech she doesn’t like.
[. . .]
When confronted with irrefutable evidence that Planned Parenthood was profiting by selling the human organs of aborted babies, and modifying the abortion procedure without the consent of the mother in order to improve profits, Harris conducted a raid on the apartment of David Daleiden, the brave investigative journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s profiting from the modern equivalent of lampshades made from human skin.
Apparently women’s health being placed second to PP profits does not bother Harris any more than the idea that money is being made selling the body parts of unborn children does.
[. . .]


Kamala Harris, California Attorney General

Although she is black, Harris apparently has no problem with the fact that Planned Parenthood is practicing what Jesse Jackson called “genocide” against blacks. She is supportive of the fact that PP “clinics” are primarily in minority areas and that black women are five times as likely to kill their unborn daughters than white women.
[. . .]
Another example of Harris’s enthusiasm for persecuting free speech she doesn’t like is her legal attack on anyone who disagrees with the left’s bizarre belief in the thoroughly discredited concept of man-caused climate change.
Even though all of the computer models on which the left’s fixation relies have been shown to be wrong, Harris wants to prosecute companies that have financed research that shows the contrary.
In doing so Harris achieves a fascist two for one; she manages to distort science to support her personal prejudices -- just like Stalin did -- and use the full power of government to silence voices she doesn’t like.
[. . .]
With the MSM lying to cover the fascist totalitarian nature of many elected Democrats we need the faces of conservatism, especially elected officials, to shine a light on the Democrats subversion of the Constitution.
Interestingly, the fact that “conservative” leaders treat monsters like Harris politely is one of the main reasons Trump is enjoying so much support. For all his many vices, he’s perceived as being willing to spit in the face of people like Harris who are eager to subjugate the American people to the fascist demands of the ruling elite.
[. . .]
It’s time for conservatives to realize that the old patriotic liberals of the 1950s are long gone and their progeny are virulently anti-Constitutional fascists who yearn to make America into a police state.
As a result, we need to use the same harsh rhetoric that has worked in the past against truly evil people such as the Nazis, the Communists, and the KKK in order to drive home to American voters who won’t hear the truth from the MSM just what sort of monsters these Democrats are.

Thomas Sowell Thinks White House Is Not Socialist, But More Dangerous




[From article]
It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a "socialist."
[. . .]
What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.
Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong. This is far preferable, from Obama's point of view, since it gives him a variety of scapegoats for all his failed policies, without having to use President Bush as a scapegoat all the time.
[. . .]
One of the reasons why both pro-Obama and anti-Obama observers may be reluctant to see him as fascist is that both tend to accept the prevailing notion that fascism is on the political right, while it is obvious that Obama is on the political left.
Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely -- and correctly -- regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg's great book "Liberal Fascism" cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists' consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left's embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s.
Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left.
[. . .]
What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people -- like themselves -- need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.
The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, "We the People..."
That is why the left has for more than a century been trying to get the Constitution's limitations on government loosened or evaded by judges' new interpretations, based on notions of "a living Constitution" that will take decisions out of the hands of "We the People," and transfer those decisions to our betters.
The self-flattery of the vision of the left also gives its true believers a huge ego stake in that vision, which means that mere facts are unlikely to make them reconsider, regardless of what evidence piles up against the vision of the left, and regardless of its disastrous consequences.

Anti Israel Useful Idiots Oppose Arts and Sciences




The same group vilifies academics, isolating Israeli scholars also for political purposes. They attack freedom of inquiry not only in the arts but also the sciences. BDS is a despicable totalitarian organization. They are not a force for good, for peace or for freedom.

[From article]
The way to counter the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) effort against Israel, opined the MK in a Jerusalem Post report, is "to go on the offensive, and bring the battle to BDS." The key, according to Oren, is "explaining the other guy [BDS]: Where they're getting funding, their means of operation, their goals."
[. . .]
Proponents of the cultural boycott want to prevent international audiences from experiencing Israeli art and want to cut the flow of world art going into Israel. To see this solely as an Israeli problem, however, is to be looking into the wrong end of the binoculars.
The cultural boycott eviscerates the role of artists to create change and build bridges, and it undermines the ideal that it is the individual, not a politically motivated third party, who should decide what he or she wishes to experience. It is a direct assault on one of the free world's most valued treasures: freedom of artistic expression.
[. . .]
BDS proponents claim that their goal is promoting human rights and Palestinian self-determination, but their rhetoric points more clearly to political ideology and their modus operandi to thought control. The strategy and tactics of the cultural BDS movement, including censorship, blacklists, intimidation, and discrimination, is repugnant to people across the political spectrum. Conspicuously absent in BDS messaging is a call for peace and coexistence.
Censorship of artistic expression is essential for totalitarian regimes to thrive. If you control content and consumption, you control thought.
[. . .]
when festivals refuse to exhibit Israeli films unless they are critical of that nation's treatment of the Palestinian people (as in the case of the Israeli film by Roy Zafrani, The Other Dreamers, which is about disabled children pursuing their dream), you are controlling content based on politics
[. . .]
Cultural boycott proponents routinely seek to intimidate artists, audiences, and venues. When an international artist announces an Israeli trip or tour, cultural BDS proponents often launch a multimedia campaign intended to derail the performance. They strive to impugn the artist's reputation by implying that he or she is giving a stamp of approval to false claims of Israeli colonialism, apartheid, oppression, and ethnic cleansing.
[. . .]
Artists who happen to be Israeli face recurring discrimination based on nationality regardless of the content of their work. This cannot be acceptable to open, liberal societies around the globe that raise their voices and institute laws against discrimination based on race, religion, gender, and sexual preferences.
When Israeli artists book international events, BDS proponents will pressure venues to cancel, interrupt performances, charge the stage, and physically intimidate participants. Audiences are forced to navigate a gauntlet of vitriolic chants. A clear statement by the vilified artists or venues saying that they do not wish to cancel the engagement is rarely accepted,
[. . .]
The cultural boycott against Israel politicizes art and eviscerates the role of artists as peace ambassadors and agents of change. The fight to counter its efforts is a battle to liberate art.
The proximate target of the boycott effort is Israel, but freedom of artistic expression, fundamental to our humanity, is its ultimate victim.

Intolerant Liberals Want To Jail Disobedient Citizens


[From article]
Until recently, the totalitarian impulse has been blessedly absent from American politics. Now, however, the American left has caught the totalitarian bug that infected Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, and so many others. A case in point: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the drug-addled son of the former Attorney General. Kennedy thinks it is a shame that he isn’t able to jail or execute the Koch brothers and other conservatives, like–for example–me:

Governments Can Track All Cell Phones Anywhere




Sunday August 24, 2104 episode of Unforgettable, CBS, included the police IT guy reporting exact location of a suspect, using his desk top responding to a query from the detectives.
Same episode included a pharmaceutical company which used unsuspecting young people as human subjects without their knowledge or consent. They were deliberately infected with a virus in order to test an experimental vaccine.They were considered expendable by the company executive. Not an unusual event in the history of science. Edward Jenner who discovered cure for smallpox allegedly did the same? The argument of the Nazi doctors was that the benefit to mankind outweighed the harm to the individuals used for medical research. Contemporary American doctors use the same arguments for their experiments without consent. 


[From article]
Makers of surveillance systems are offering governments across the world the ability to track the movements of almost anybody who carries a cellphone, whether they are blocks away or on another continent.
The technology works by exploiting an essential fact of all cellular networks: They must keep detailed, up-to-the-minute records on the locations of their customers to deliver calls and other services to them. Surveillance systems are secretly collecting these records to map people’s travels over days, weeks or longer, according to company marketing documents and experts in surveillance technology.

Elitist Totalitarians Destroy Language, Critical Thought




[From article]
If you were a member of an elitist group trying to get complete control of a logical and stiff-necked people, what would you have to accomplish first? The citizens of that country would have to stop thinking, and since you can’t just pass a law against thought, their basic ability to think would have to be destroyed -– gradually before they noticed.
[. . .]



But the most effective tool is one Orwell could see coming in 1948 -- the erasure of our language. If one is looking for domination without all the mayhem of military takeover, then just render the language unusable -- technology makes that easy.
The first is the effort to thin out key words until they no longer mean anything at all. The word “racist” comes to mind.
[. . .]



Brave New World, here we come -- complicate and alter vocabulary adequately and you rob folks of the ability to think with clarity and confidence.
[. . .]



The third attack on language is the use of words with no regard for their truth. The press keeps insisting that Islam means peace. Well if peace involves crucifixions, beheadings, kidnappings, and rocket attacks, I think I’ll pass.

Obama's War On Individualism



[From article]
Obama and his followers are too clever by far to be so blatantly obvious in their ultimate intentions. Consequently, their euphemistic language constantly morphs. Obama never actually makes any outrageous comments about Jews and Christians; no Hitler is he. He will simply ignore their plight around the world and support those factions – e.g., Muslim Brotherhood who commit atrocities against these respective groups. Obama hides behind his "useful idiots" who do the bidding for him, and that way he remains aloof and untouched.
[. . .]
But Kenneth Minogue asserts that the true indicator of totalitarianism is actually the destruction of individualism. With this in mind, recall that our trajectory toward totalitarianism has only begun, and already we can see the diminution of our rights and individual decision-making options. Thus, Obama and the Democrats maintain a constant assault on capitalism, which has allowed the middle class to be so successful. Constant stonewalling of the flow of information was the first indicator of their true evil intentions.

Stand Up and Fight For Freedom or Lose It, Yes You




[From article]
Such tactics have become especially common in this administration, which has the morals of thugs and the agenda of totalitarians. They may not be consciously aiming at creating a totalitarian state, but shameless use of government power to crush those who get in their way can produce totalitarian end results.
The prosecution of Dinesh D’Souza for contributing $20,000 to a political candidate, supposedly in violation of the many campaign finance laws, is a classic case of selective prosecution.
Thugs who stationed themselves outside a polling place in Philadelphia to intimidate white voters were given a pass, and others accused of campaign finance violations were charged with misdemeanors, but Dinesh D’Souza has been charged with felonies that carry penalties of years in federal prison.
[. . .]
Arbitrary power is ugly and vicious, regardless of what pious rhetoric goes with it. Freedom is not free. You have to fight for it or lose it. But is our generation up to fighting for it?

History And Fate Awaits Obama



[From article]
Obama's political heritage is rooted in the postwar Islamic strongman role pioneered by Gamel Abdul Nasser, the leader of Egypt from 1953 to 1970, and then refined by numerous other such figures, including Achmed Sukarno and Mohammed Suharto of Indonesia.
Sukarno was a colorful leader who controlled a populist coalition of the military, the peasants, and the intelligentsia (among them a powerful communist party), through a three-ring political circus in which the main attraction was Sukarno's never-ending one-man battle against the West. After nearly two decades of this, the country was in serious danger of going into the dumpster -- Sukarno had pulled Indonesia out of the UN and was kissing up to the Chinese, in the process turning ever larger sections of government over to the local communists. This lost him the military, always a mistake for a third-world strongman, and in 1965 things came to a head with a bungled coup (planned by whom? -- something that remains uncertain to this day) in which a number of military officers were murdered. The army struck back, and after a confused interlude featuring massacres across the country, the communists were out (most of them -- estimates range up to half a million -- dead), Sukarno was under house arrest, and General Suharto had ended up as maximum leader.
Suharto ran the country as his personal fiefdom for the next thirty-odd years. At the end of that period he had distinguished himself as possibly the most corrupt ruler in history, with a fortune of thirty billion plus stashed in various foreign banks. His avaricious family, which controlled most of the county's industry, pocketed at least as much. Under Suharto's control, Indonesia became notorious for its atrocities in West Irian and East Timor, at the same time meandering its way to a vague prosperity that in no way matched nearby Singapore and Malaysia.
This was the political culture in which Barack Obama came to consciousness.
[. . .]
It is not communist, it is not socialist, it is not democratic, any more than Nasser, who probably used the word as often as Lenin, was a socialist. It is pure third-world authoritarianism. This is what half of the American electorate, largely consisting of Low Information Voter boobs assisted by mulish conservatives, put into office two times in a row in the sophisticated, technologically-advanced 21st century.
[. . .]
Andrew Cuomo governs downtown Albany and New York City. He pays attention to nothing else in the state -- the Mohawk Valley, the Finger Lakes, the Adirondacks, may as well not exist. He acts for two interfaced elites -- political in Albany and financial in NYC.
[. . .]
The prospect we're facing is not 1984, or Nazi Germany, or even Suharto's Indonesia. It is contemporary Argentina, controlled by elites, bouncing from one political extreme to the other, run by an ever more bizarre train of lunatics, with a government that relates to the people in much the same way that a parasite relates to its host.
[. . .]
Now the balance must be restored, one way or another, with or without the cooperation of the political classes of this county -- and perhaps of any classes at all.

There is one final possibility you neglect to mention: modern people, often being ignorant of history, tend to assume that the worst regimes, dictatorships and tyrannies all lie in the past - and that we have seen the last of figures such as Hitler, Stalin, Mao and the like. What if that assumption is wrong? What if Obama is sui generis - the prototype of a new and even more dangerous tyrant than those of the past?

Skin Tattoo Enables Espionage, Voice Enabled

With capabilities to make surveillance technology this small why is there no concern among researchers for the potential for criminal abuses, and elimination of freedom? Why are so many scientists clueless (or careless) about the history of criminal uses of new technology. Are there so few scientists who have common sense along with their superior intellects?

[From article]
"A hair-thin electronic patch that adheres to the skin like a temporary tattoo could transform medical sensing, computer gaming and even spy operations, according to a US study published Thursday."

as late as 2005, Thomas Friedman, the cheerleader-in-chief of liberation technology, wrote that “totalitarian systems depend on a monopoly of information and force, and too much information started to slip through the Iron Curtain, thanks to the spread of fax machines, telephones, and other modern tools of communication.”

Obama Destroys Democracy

In this article we learn how Obama is thwarting the legislative process, corrupting independent oversight mechanisms, placed into the governmental process, and deceiving the public.
It is clear that Obama is destroying the democratic government in this country and trying establish a totalitarian government with no dissent.
In view of the sheeple among the voters and the journalists he will have no trouble doing so.
