THINGS I CAN’T FORGET

By E.P. Unum

April 23, 2021

 

 1.        Interesting how NBA ratings have crashed by 30% producing the lowest viewings in five years. Perhaps people are getting sick and tired listening to millionaires like LeBron James lecture us about how bad America is and threatening police who saved a black teenage girl from being stabbed in Ohio. Or, perhaps the decline is related to the NBA, like the MLB selling their souls to Red China.

 

2.        The mainstream media keeps harping on “systemic racism” in America. Why didn’t we stamp out this scourge when we had a Black President for eight years? Wasn’t Joe Biden a part of that Administration, the so-called champion of Black America? People should take a hard look at Joe Biden and some of the things he has said on the floor of the Senate about Blacks. He’s no champion of Black Americans! And he also maintained a close personal relationship with now-deceased Senator Robert Byrd, the former Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). You can’t make this stuff up. Joe Biden is a fraud, through and through.

 

3.       Remember when New York’s Governor Cuomo announced that “President Trump is not welcome in New York City?" Tough guy Cuomo, who probably could not fight his way out of a wet paper bag, said that if Trump comes to New York “he will need an army alongside of him to walk in NYC." Nice talk from someone who is responsible for the greatest number of deaths of any state in America and over 15,000 in nursing homes alone. But, hey, he wrote a book on how he handled the pandemic and even won an Emmy Award for his wonderful Press Meetings! Maybe he will write another book on how to deal with multiple women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances. What a blowhard!

 

4.       Congratulations to Jim Acosta who has earned the title of “Worst Journalist in America for ten years in a row!” He beat out several competitors and the closest race resulted in four broadcasters all tied for fourth place…Chris Matthews, Chris Cuomo, Rachel Madow, and Don Lemon, who is appropriately named.

 

5.       Remarkable how democrats want to make Washington D.C. a state and how they feel adding four more justices to the Supreme Court is in the best interests of the people…and of course themselves. And many of the left-wing liberals now want to abolish the Electoral College. I think we ought to realize this.   If any of these actions come to pass, and a few have already passed the House of Representatives,   Democrat Voters in California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia, Delaware, New York, Maryland, and Washington D.C would determine the President of the United States forever. Just think about that. We will essentially have abandoned a two-party system and rendered Republican votes useless. What could possibly go wrong?

 

6.       Just a thought, but if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi can be tricked by a local neighborhood salon, should we be trusting her with a top-secret security clearance? But, in fairness to Nancy,  this is really blown out of proportion. Nancy actually thought the sign said “Saloon."

 

7.       On the subject of security clearances, whatever happened to the Chinese limo driver Diane Feinstein used for 20 years who turned out to be a Chinese spy for Red China and was sharing secrets with China? Did anything happen to Senator Feinstein? How about Congressman Eric Swalwell who was swapping spit and playing lovey-dovey with a Chinese spy….why is he still in office and sitting on key Congressional committees affording him access to military secrets?

 

8.       California’s District Attorney issued a policy that police are required to consider “looter’s needs” before charging them with a crime. Fascinating. So if the looter “needed something, like new Jordan sneakers or a Gucci handbag” I guess it ain’t robbery. The times sure are changing. Guess growing up being taught right from wrong and to never take something that isn’t yours or doesn’t belong to you is a bit outdated and old-fashioned.

 

9.       Try this on for size: “As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow waits. As long as we have love, today is beautiful. And as long as we have God in our hearts, anything and everything is possible.” I may be wrong, but if we taught this in our schools and reinforced it in our homes and communities, maybe we would all be a bit better off?

 

10.   So we have controversy over Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, Police Lives Matter. It is all nonsense. 2,000 years ago Jesus ended the debate over which lives matter. He died for all of us. Never forget that.

 

11.    So let me get this straight. We are spending trillions of dollars on projects like Infrastructure that have little to do with infrastructure and trillions of dollars on an American Rescue Plan that does not need rescuing as our economy is improving every day. We also do not have a clue about how to pay for all of this spending because their plan of imposing increased taxes will drive the wealthy away from our shores and will once again place the middle class…you and I….in a death squeeze. Stated a different way, the inmates are now in charge of the asylum. Their plans offer no logical pathway to success…only abysmal failure.

 

12.   I am more afraid of the Democrat in the White House than I am of COVID-19 and I am 75 years old. You should be as well. The Democrats today are not the party of your parents or grandparents anymore. And they are far more interested in power than they are in improving the quality of life for everyday Americans. They are in the midst of implementing the plan, begun by Barack Hussein Obama, to cripple the United States of America and pit blacks against whites and Asians against Hispanics. They are executing a plan to turn America into a socialist state en route towards a Communist totalitarian state.

 

13.    Much has been said about Climate Change being an existential threat to America and the world. Barack Hussein Obama echoed this sentiment often. John Kerry Speaks of little else as he jets around the world on his private jet emitting more carbon than many people do in a lifetime. But have you ever heard an objective debate among scientists from either side of the issue of climate change? I can tell you with statistical confidence that the issue of climate change is anything but settled science! So why are we embracing this issue as if it is, in the words of our President Joe Biden a “moral imperative.” It is not. Far from it. But what is a moral imperative is the number of abortions committed on unborn children. That is a moral and an ethical imperative and I hear nothing from President Biden, who supposedly is a Roman Catholic on this subject.

 

14.   Fathom the hypocrisy of these truths and facts:

·          Kamala Harris, the VP, owns a gun but doesn’t want you to own one;

·          Philadelphia’s mayor and the California Governor can eat in restaurants but won’t let you dine out;

·          Lori Lightfoot a/k/a Beetlejuice, Chicago’s mayor can go on vacation but forces you to stay home;

 

  I may be wrong but this kind of sort of feels like “do as I say, not as I do” and is a bit unfair in my opinion. But, then again, I digress, after all, they are all Democrats.

 

15.    I have been an avid sports fan all of my life. I played football and baseball in high school and college and professional baseball for a brief time. But today, at 75 years of age, you could not pay me to watch an NFL, NBA, MLB game because I find it disgraceful that these athletes cannot show respect for our Nation’s Flag or National Anthem. Like many in the media, they jump to conclusions about events that occur before a single piece of evidence is presented. 

 

16.    I wonder when the mainstream media is going to focus on the CDC’s recent analysis that states it is perfectly fine when you are outside you do not need to wear a mask, especially if you have been vaccinated. Why can’t our so-called leaders in Washington, specifically our President, Vice President, Dr. Fauci, and others come forward and strongly reinforce this? Is it because they feel that it is far more beneficial for them to continually keep rigorous control practices in force because it adds to their power base?

 

17.  I am really interested in why we have not heard anything about Hunter Biden in the last several months. But my curiosity doesn’t stop with Hunter Biden. It extends to James and Frank Biden and indeed the entire Biden family. I’d like to learn more about how Joe Biden’s brothers, Frank and James landed lucrative government contracts as soon as brother Joe became Vice President. I also am very intrigued by Hunter Biden having worked with Communist Chinese entities closely aligned with the Chinese Military and in nuclear energy, some of whom have been under surveillance by the FBI for stealing U.S. Secrets. I think the American people need to know that the person who is now serving as President of the United States may be compromised by his family’s involvement with China. Recall Biden’s famous words repeated often and, I quote: “A rising China is in the interests of the Chines people, the American people, and the world”.

 

Doesn’t make me feel warm all over. How about you?

 

 

 

 

'When you can convince people racism is rampant, you ignite a flame of division and destruction that can only end with bodies on the ground and cities leveled.

Thus the narrative is set before any details emerge, and narratives are more powerful than facts in ginning up emotional responses and revolutions.

The media know this. The ruling class knows this. 

If they can convince enough people that America is systemically racist, they can infiltrate government schools with critical race theory — and they have.

If they can make people believe police officers are irredeemably evil, they can nationalize local law enforcement and funnel more money toward their pet social programs. 

If they can convince corporations that performative “antiracism” is more important than profits, they can blackmail state lawmakers into passing legislation that gives them more power — and they are.’

Corporate Media And Other Race-Baiters Have Incited More Violence Than Trump Ever Did

Kylee Zempel, TheFederalist.com

 

Adam Toledo is a name that has likely saturated your newsfeed over the past month. He was a 13-year-old Mexican-American boy who was fatally shot by a police officer on Chicago’s West Side not one month ago.

This week, that name was overshadowed by Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenager who died at the hands of law enforcement in Ohio. In both cases, leftist politicians and Twitter-verified “journalists” couldn’t get the story out fast enough, absent facts, video, or nuance — but the headlines wrote themselves: “Racist Cop Shoots Unarmed Minority"

Also in both cases, the stories turned out to be completely wrong. On Wednesday we learned that Bryant wasn’t just standing in her driveway unarmed, or just casually holding a knife, or even dueling with another armed kid in a “knife fight” when the officer discharged his weapon. After the officer arrived, she lunged with a knife at another black girl she had pinned against a car, after having already charged a different girl nearby. She was armed and dangerous. And the officer, although accused of being a racist pig by even the White House, instead saved at least one black girl’s life.

Not only did journalists kick off the Toledo narrative with the same racist-cop rhetoric, but when officer body camera footage was released, showing what appeared to be the boy holding a firearm right before the officer shot him, CBS News cropped out that part of the video and failed to note that he was armed in its write-up of the incident. Meanwhile, politicians peddled the line that Toledo was “unarmed.”  

See video clip on Twitter HERE.  

These erroneous stories aren’t flukes. Recent history shows repeatedly that corrupt media and politicians aren’t surprised or embarrassed when body cam footage or crucial details emerge that debunk their initial “reporting."

That’s because they don’t so much report as create. They don’t get clicks and clout by uncovering and reporting what actually happened, but by feeding people and politicians’ pre-existing narratives. That’s why every lede and headline seems to be some variation of Black Lives Matter talking points.

Corrections, if issued at all, are usually stealthy and get buried instantly, and there’s no room for nuance on a protester’s poster board or in a presidential press release. Thus the narrative is set before any details emerge, and narratives are more powerful than facts in ginning up emotional responses and revolutions.

The media know this. The ruling class knows this. If they can convince enough people that America is systemically racist, they can infiltrate government schools with critical race theory — and they have.

If they can make people believe police officers are irredeemably evil, they can nationalize local law enforcement and funnel more money toward their pet social programs. If they can convince corporations that performative “antiracism” is more important than profits, they can blackmail state lawmakers into passing legislation that gives them more power — and they are.

Fanning the Flame

These media and government elites have no problem injecting or ratcheting up racial tension that stretches and stresses countless unwitting Americans to their breaking points. While the ruling class gets whisked away to broadcast from their New York City high rises or to watch and tweet from their secure second homes, outmanned police officers and innocent store owners are forced to defend themselves against agitated Americans whose sole mission becomes to get attention and destroy.

Make no mistake: The ruling class is absolutely inciting violence. The same crowd that insisted President Donald Trump “incited an insurrection” is the one that outrageously lies to demonstrators claiming white cops go on search-and-destroy missions against innocent black Americans. These are the people who gaslight Americans with buzzwords like “peaceful protests” while they watch their cities light up in flames.

The way to bring revolution is to provoke unrest, and the best means to do that is to convince the public that isolated instances of evil represent endemic institutional problems through inflammatory rhetoric and disproportionate attention. It’s a strategy, and it works.

Think back to the many nights of fiery and violent riots in Ferguson, Missouri, following the police shooting of Michael Brown in 2014. To this day, the slogan “Hands up, don’t shoot” is a leftist talking point and a protest chant, popularized by media and race-baiters who used the phrase to evoke imagery of a submissive Brown being murdered by a racist officer, all for their political gain.

But it was a lie. The Department of Justice said “hands up” was inconsistent with the evidence, with then-Attorney General Eric Holder calling it a “strong alternative version of events” that “[took] hold so swiftly,” and eyewitnesses said Brown charged at the officer, who then shot in self-defense.

 

The same happened in the police shooting of Jacob Blake in August. LeBron James called it “police brutality towards my kind,” while other elites claimed contrary to the evidence that the police shoot first & detain second and that “he could have been grabbed…he could have been tased….He could have immediately been stopped when he started walking around the car.”

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers opted for escalation, framing the shooting as yet another “Black man or person” “shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.” Joe Biden did the same.

Again, the story was false, yet Kenosha, Wisconsin was already in flames. Nothing about the incident indicated it was racially motivated. Police were responding to a 911 call from Blake’s girlfriend who said he wasn’t allowed on the property and had taken her keys.

In fact, Blake had a warrant out for his arrest from the month prior — information officers knew before arriving on the scene — based on charges of third-degree sexual assault, disorderly conduct connected to domestic abuse, and trespassing. Officers had discharged their Tasers twice at Blake without successfully subduing him before Blake reached into the car, where a weapon was recovered on the floorboards and three children were in the backseat — another fact officers knew because their mother allegedly kept screaming that.”

Whatever Works

But race baiters don’t just manufacture or capitalize on police brutality. They’ll use whatever they can to get people fired up, including race hoaxes. The Jussie Smollett news cycle dominated the airwaves for days, with now-Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Cory Booker inflaming the rhetoric by going so far as to call it a “modern-day lynching.”

Remember the “noose” in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage that turned out to be a normal door pull cord? That was only revealed after the media had blasted the story as evidence of this country’s deep-seated racism, with CNN calling it an “abhorrent, racist act” and peddling the noose narrative unquestioningly under the banner “America in Crisis.”

The media and left-wing politicos do the same with riot porn, glamorizing filth and demonizing law and order. It’s why we’re treated to glowing coverage of a nude protester planting herself in the middle of the street and spreading her legs in gross defiance to Portland police while the same media whitewash crime.

They said, “Destroying property … is not violence.” They said protests don’t need to be peaceful and called riots a proportionate response.” They denied evidence of anarchy. They said violence works. They condemned the term riot as loaded,” instead calling it democracy.” They released a documentary claiming Riots Built America.” And they flat-out pretended cities weren’t being ravaged, with Gov. Jay Inslee saying That’s news to me! when asked about the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, and Rep. Jerry Nadler calling Antifa a myth.”

It isn’t just sins of commission either. The media transgress with omission as well. That’s why you’ll hear Ma’Khia Bryant’s name infinitely more than you’ll hear Mohammad Anwar’s. His life was stolen by two black teens when they violently carjacked him in broad daylight in D.C. last month. One story can be spun to further the narrative that foments riots. One cannot.

The Race-Baiters’ ‘Big Lie’

Back in January, left-wingers in the media, on Twitter, and in the halls of Congress breathlessly reported that Trump had incited in insurrection. He was a seditionist and a fascist, they said, and he posed such a grave threat to public safety that his social media accounts were nuked from orbit, and Democrats immediately drafted articles of impeachment again. When he urged rioters at the Capitol to go home, calling for “NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind,” a ban on his Twitter prevented the message from going out.

Although the events of that day were awful, the ruling class lied about and amplified them to the point of repeated falsehoods, with The New York Times peddling a false story that rioters bludgeoned a Capitol Police officer to death with a fire extinguisher, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claiming Sen. Ted Cruz tried to have her murdered.

Nevertheless, the left will forever herald Trump as the president who incited violence with his rhetoric about the 2020 election, which they have dubbed the “Big Lie.” However objectionable Trump’s remarks that day, and however criminal the rogues who stormed the U.S. Capitol, this “Big Lie” has no support among the vast majority of the nation’s leaders or institutions, including Republicans like those in Georgia Trump keeps battling, while a far bigger lie does.

The biggest lie is that the entire United States of America — with its white people, police officers, institutions, and norms — is irredeemably racist and evil to its core. The race-baiters who peddle this lie have incited more violence than Trump ever did. When you can convince people racism is rampant, and that silence about it is violence while actual physical vigilante violence is justice, you ignite a flame of division and destruction that can only end with bodies on the ground and cities leveled.

We’ve yet to see the full fallout from the inflammatory and completely untrue racism narrative of the press, although the spin machine’s tactics become more egregious by the day. Just Wednesday night, NBC’s “Nightly News” clipped the 911 call that drew officers to Bryant and deceptively edited police bodycam video to mask the knife Bryant was wielding and instead highlight it lying on the ground later. We’ve watched them do this dance time many times without accountability while so-called racial justice activists take up their Molotov cocktails against innocent civilians.

As Shelby Steele says, “America’s original sin is not slavery. It is simply the use of race as a means to power.” While the ruling classes exploit tragedy to accrue more and more power, Americans become increasingly powerless as pawns in the race war, many paying with their sanity, others with their livelihoods, and even some with their lives.

 

The National Socialists disarmed the people they planned to destroy. It’s not hard to figure out why; they didn’t want their targets to be able to fight back. They allowed their political supporters to keep their weapons legally; this is not a relaxation of gun laws, in fact, it’s the reverse – It is selective enforcement of gun confiscation based on ideological loyalty.

Hilariously, leftists in the US when confronted with this fact double down on their gun control arguments. Instead of admitting their foolish error they will say: “Yes, the Nazis disarmed the Jews and others, but having guns would have made no difference in saving their lives…” And there you have it – The most backwards circular logic of all time. 

If Jews and others owning guns was not a deterrent to their slaughter, then why would the Nazis bother disarming them in the first place? 

Leftists have no answer to this question.

What we do know for certain is that disarmament is ALWAYS one of the first steps by totalitarians in cementing their control of a population, and this is most common among the biggest political killers in modern history – And no, it’s not the Nazis; it’s the communists.

[ITEM: They're both the same - 2 horns on the same crazed vicious goat. Tyranny is tyranny. Never mind the labels. - CB]

 

Elitists and leftists just don’t seem to get it. Maybe it’s the way their brains work. Maybe they just can’t comprehend the idea that some people will not compromise certain freedoms no matter the cost. They think everyone has a limit; that everyone has a price. They think anyone can be bought, or that anyone can be leveraged into submission. 

The truth is, many of us can’t. Some of us have no price, and we cannot be compelled to comply.

We are the people that keep freedom alive, and totalitarians are terrified of us; gun grabbing is merely a natural extension of their fear and doubt. Wherever an oligarchy is seeking to disarm the population this is a sure sign they are about to grasp for even more control, and they are afraid that the population might dethrone them. And honestly, they should be afraid.’

The Reasons Why Leftists Will Never Successfully Disarm Americans

Gun confiscation has always been the Holy Grail of totalitarian regimes. Without disarmament, fully centralized control of a population is not possible. And though it is true that not every evil regime seeks to disarm every single citizen (at least not right away), they always disarm the people they specifically intend to hurt the most.

For example, gun control advocates today like to point out that the Third Reich in Germany did not disarm the entire German population. This is a rather bizarre position for leftists as they continually wail and scream about Nazis around every corner and behind every tree, but they will STILL defend their gun grabbing policies by arguing that the Nazis were not as bad as conservatives assume. Of course, what they rarely mention is that the Nazis DID disarm millions of people; most of them Jews and political opponents under 1938 German gun laws.

The National Socialists disarmed the people they planned to destroy. It’s not hard to figure out why; they didn’t want their targets to be able to fight back. They allowed their political supporters to keep their weapons legally; this is not a relaxation of gun laws, in fact, it’s the reverse – It is selective enforcement of gun confiscation based on ideological loyalty.

Hilariously, leftists in the US when confronted with this fact double down on their gun control arguments. Instead of admitting their foolish error they will say: “Yes, the Nazis disarmed the Jews and others, but having guns would have made no difference in saving their lives…” And there you have it – The most backwards circular logic of all time. If Jews and others owning guns was not a deterrent to their slaughter, then why would the Nazis bother disarming them in the first place? Leftists have no answer to this question.

They are trying to argue against facts using a hypothetical; really, how would they know? Maybe owning guns might have saved the lives of millions of people the Nazis had deemed enemies of the state? Maybe it would have acted as a deterrent to the Holocaust? Maybe the Nazis would have been afraid to expand tyranny into Europe if they had to worry about their own population fighting back and disrupting their momentum? Maybe, WWII would have never happened? We could argue hypotheticals all day long…

What we do know for certain is that disarmament is ALWAYS one of the first steps by totalitarians in cementing their control of a population, and this is most common among the biggest political killers in modern history – And no, it’s not the Nazis; it’s the communists.

While a debate rages over the exact number of deaths attributed to communist governments, it is estimated that they are responsible for approximately 65 million to 100 million murders over the course of the last century, a genocide beyond anything history has ever seen before. These deaths were caused by direct means, such as shooting dissidents, or indirect means, such as imprisoning dissidents until they died from complications, or stealing food supplies from rural communities and allowing them to starve en masse.

Stalin in particular declared any theft of state property a crime punishable by death. He then at the same time declared that all production including food production was state property. So, if you eat food that was not granted to you by the state, you are stealing, and could therefore be shot. See how that works?

None of this would have been possible without gun control and confiscation laws put in place before the larger genocide was enacted. In 1918 the Bolsheviks and the Council of the People’s Commissar mandated that Russian citizens turn in their firearms under penalty of prosecution. Gun restrictions and penalties were increased over the years until WWII, when the Soviets were loath to arm their own population in response to Nazi invasion. In fact, the ease by which the Nazi army rolled through the Eastern front was partly due to the disarmament of the Russian population.

Communist governments only allow people to have firearms in their hands when they are fighting against the ideological and foreign foes of the regime. You are allowed to be cannon fodder for the elites, you are not allowed the means to defend yourself from those same elites.

Americans (primarily conservative Americans) have an in-depth understanding of this dynamic. While leftists are more concerned with rewriting history to their benefit, we are more concerned with learning from it. We know where gun control leads, and so did the Founding Fathers of our nation, which is why they codified gun ownership into the US constitution as an inalienable right under the 2nd Amendment. Here are the reasons why leftists, globalists and communists will NEVER be able to disarm the American population as they have done in previous nations…

We Know The History Of Gun Control

As noted above, we have studied the history of tyrants. There is no tyranny that has ever existed that did not try to disarm the population, or disarm the portion of the population the government intended to enslave or destroy. Leftists froth at the mouth trying to re-imagine history in a way that circumvents or ignores the tyranny issue when it comes to gun control. They are wasting their time.

They are never going to convince conservatives and moderates that gun confiscation was not a key step in the establishment of various tyrannies in modern history. All the mental gymnastics and manipulation, all the energy they spend trying to rationalize away genocide as somehow “inevitable” regardless of gun rights – it’s all for nothing. We are far smarter than they are. We are well versed in the legacy of gun control, and this makes their tactics useless.

We Understand Incrementalism – We Know All The Tricks

The level of dishonesty involved in gun control advocacy is astonishing. Leftists often use lies as a means to gain political capital; if they were completely honest about their intentions they would not receive much support from the general population for their efforts
