COLUMN OF THE WEEK
The Democrats' Project Fear Will Fail
JB Shurk 3/15
Have they scared you yet? Me neither. Not for
want of trying, though. Project Fear is ramping up, and it’s only going
to get worse. The Democrats and the global establishment class do not
care how many lives are lost or how much financial damage results. They
have only one concern: removing President Trump from power, silencing us, and
bending the arc of history back toward the plutocratic governing elite.
For them, that is the only moral universe that can exist.
All of us have known this was coming. From the moment
on November 8, 2016, when we looked at each other and smiled, we knew the real
war had just begun. The people with the most power in our country and
across the globe had spent six months before that fateful election campaigning
on nothing but fear. They promised economic ruin. They promised imminent
nuclear holocaust. They promised that internal unrest would lead to civil
war, that foreign policy inexperience would lead to global war, and that global
warming skepticism would lead to planetary extinction. They laid all this
and more at the feet of American voters, but enough of us had finally grown so
furious with decades of ineptitude and betrayal by the federal government that
we drew our own red line across America’s timeline and said, “No.” We did
not fall for their scaremongering and delusions; we held our ground and finally
pushed back.
That is why the election year of 2016 will always mark a
turning point in American history, while most other election years will be long
forgotten. 2016 was significant not just because President Trump won, but
because so many of us looked around and realized just how many of us there
actually are. For years we had been minimized and mocked and made to feel
very much alone. We held our tongues in class; we held our tongues at
work; we endured the ritual hazing from Hollywood movies and primetime
television and late night comedy and cable news; we took it and took it and
stayed silent like good soldiers while the institutions in our country worked
to make us feel small. Then one day we stood up, threw the mother of all
uppercuts to their open jaws, and knocked the bullies right on their
backs. To this day, I’m not sure who was more surprised: the pummeled
looking up from the ground or the pummelers staring at our own fists and
enjoying what we’d done. Either way, everything changed that day because
conservatism changed. We finally remembered that the fight for liberty in
1776 wasn’t done over wine and cheese. Conserving freedom requires more
than passive respect for one’s traditions; it requires active and vigilant participation.
And if our best fighters weren’t getting the job done, we’d just have to send a
new type of fighter into the ring, or better yet, stop watching the fight from
the damn spectator’s gallery, lace up some gloves, and set to work swinging.
Since that time the Democrats and the global establishment
class have done everything to pretend that 2016 never happened. The
“smart” set sees the Russian boogeyman under every bed, lack of education
behind every Trump vote, racism responsible for every Trump victory. So
sure are they that they’re on the “right side of history” that they have
abandoned any pretense of supporting free speech or alternative points of
view. For them, the Bill of Rights was never anything more than a vehicle
toward State control of everything, another troubling and outmoded vestige of
America’s past that can be discarded and abandoned on the road to America’s
socialist future. So, they’ve sent attack after attack against President
Trump and all of us. While the CIA and FBI have conspired to oust the
president, the social media giants have closed our accounts, censored our
words, and silenced our voices. The harm they cause is as real as their
inability to grasp the seriousness of their actions, for by depriving us of our
pens, they will leave us only our swords.
Over these long years since the 2016 election, though, our
tormentors have unintentionally accomplished something else: they’ve steeled
our resolve. In those first few months after President Trump was elected,
the attempt to take him down was so furious that none of us knew for sure what
would happen. Would Democrats successfully subvert the Electoral
College? Would Republicans like Paul Ryan and John McCain demand the
president’s resignation? Would Jim Comey’s accusations lead to
impeachment and removal? How many James Hodgkinsons would the Democrats
send our way? How lethal would John Brennan’s threats against President
Trump prove to be? Their attacks on the legitimacy of the 2016 election
and attempts to overturn it have created an unrelenting siege against all of us
who would have gladly gone back to our own lives until the 2020 election.
Because they have given us no peace, however, they have made us sharp for what
lies ahead.
This is the year that the Democrats weaponize fear like
never before. Every one of us knows that. They will do everything
they can to torment and torture American voters until they exchange their votes
in November for temporary mercy. But no mercy will ever come. This
is the lie they’ve told for generations. The lie they’ve used to make
Americans submissive while stealing everything from them. The Democrats
have always been the hostage takers who collect their ill-gotten gains before
promptly shooting all the hostages they’d promised to free. That’s the
history of their party. For them, 2016 was inexplicable. Americans
had never stood up to them before, and they intend to make sure it cannot
happen in 2020. If they must, they will destroy what they cannot possess.
We, on the other hand, are no longer asleep, and we know what is coming.
For the first time in many decades, a growing number of Americans finally see
who the Democrats are and what they are capable of inflicting upon their fellow
citizens. There is a fire before us; we must walk through it; but we no
longer have to do so alone. With eyes wide open, we will.
Another good read: “It's
clear Democrats see the coronavirus outbreak as an opportunity, not an
epidemic. The yearly cases of influenza are ignored because no one can
criticize Trump for them. But a new mystery disease? Woo-hoo, open the
floodgates of blame! It's a crying
shame dozens of people have died from the coronavirus in America. But it's an
even bigger shame that millions are having their livelihoods disrupted, thanks
to the media-fueled hysteria. Calm down, people.”

CORONAVIRUS
Stanford professor: “Coronavirus may be less deadly than we
think -- and too mild to justify these aggressive countermeasures….If in fact
this virus is less deadly than the flu, do we actually want a coast-to-coast
shutdown to contain it?....we’re using the social equivalent of thermonuclear
weapons to try to take this disease out.”

Obama holdovers at the CDC were busy fighting racism and

The United States might have a secret weapon against
coronavirus: the US practices a form of
social distancing in its daily life through suburban living. Americans have
been criticized for their detached, single-family houses and their solo car
commuting, but these factors may also mean that Americans are less likely to be
in close quarters with strangers during their daily lives than are residents of
most other developed countries.
Bureaucratic idiocy: “Seattle
infectious disease expert Dr. Helen Chu had, by January, collected a huge
number of nasal swabs from local residents who were experiencing symptoms as
part of a research project on flu. She proposed, to federal and state
officials, testing those samples for coronavirus infections…..the CDC told Chu
and her team that they could not test the samples unless their laboratory test
was approved by the FDA. The FDA refused to approve Chu's test on the grounds
that her lab, "was not certified as a clinical laboratory under
regulations established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a
process that could take months."
