  1. All of our ancient Rights as Free Men and Women are being taken away day by day. The time will come when they will have to be retaken with a high cost.

    “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
    if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may
    come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

    1. I fear that people like living in gilded cages.
      Now get out of my cubicle!!!

    2. In short, go full Masada, which is as dire and despairing as you can get in such a world.
      God forfend.

  2. Charlie Kirk succinctly described woke totalitarians who never examine their own behaviour: “constantly wrong but never in doubt.”

    Oft heard, but here is a more complete versions of from C.S. Lewis: famous observation of malignant and malevolent ruling class:

    “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

    1. Always like that quote of CS Lewis.

      This one also, were we will probably end up.
      “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

      ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

      1. Wow! Two great quotes and how about the two great videos Francisco posted. Kate has picked a great protégé. One who adds variety without increasing SDA’s profile with the cancel crowd. It was high already I’m sure lol.
        Friday-night SDA is a thing.

        1. “Wow! Two great quotes and how about the two great videos Francisco posted.”

          So lacking self awareness.

          “Oh, I hate the censorship YouTube and Twitter and Facebook subject me too, so I am only going to watch 300 YouTube videos a day, and only 12 hours a day on Twitter, and only 12 hours a day on Facebook. That will teach them!”

          You lost, because you never started fighting.

          1. Wow, Paul, Friday night SDA is “a thing,” eh? This is mere entertainment?
            You need help in separating truth from fiction, or, more precisely, the serious reality from the shallow misunderstanding.
            Here’s another great Friday quote for you…
            “Let him who has ears, hear, and he who has eyes, see”
            Paraphrased, but C S Lewis would concur.

          2. Tell you what Kevin. If you can find the same stuff in a different format put a link to it in the comments and we’ll see if there’s a way to use it.

  3. Heinlein was right. Oh, and if you think the Starship Troopers movie had fascist overtones, then you are a commie.
    Too bad Heinlein’s “Competent Man” or Ayn’s “John Galt” don’t really exist. We’re gonna have to make do with actual humans, I’m afraid. God help us.

  4. Thinking here that Pfizer and Moderna have something to do in some kind of deal with FB and Twits.
    After all there are billions to be made. The two internet rackets wanna cut.

  5. That’s a really stupid quote.

    The whole problem that “the right” complains about now is cultural marxism and critical race theory.

    If you could go back in time, wouldn’t the logical thing be to snuff those ideas in the cradle?

    This is why “the right” is so stupid.

  6. L – Under a totalitarian government the “truth” is whatever the gov’t. says it is.
    Or you are cancelled, silenced, fired, in prison or a concentration(quarantine) camp.
    Or die due to being denied an effective, inexpensive therapy. One not even officially existing.
    You own nothing, not your life, not even your ideas.

    Quite a contrast with the self-government by sovereign citizens, who only delegate their
    power to elected representatives, and have a Right and Responsibility to see the government
    respects the individual citizens Rights to Life, Liberty, Security and Property. Or replace them
    forthwith.

    In the totalitarian model, you answer to the government where all authourity lies.

    In the British Common-Law model, the government answers to citizens or is dismissed.
    The Magna Carta required the monarch, representing the state to respect the Natural
    Rights e.i. born free et al, and the law applied equally to the Crown and agents, thereof.
    This was achieved when area leaders offered the King an option To Serve and Protect
    and live or… in battle.

    Under the Wuhan Virus Panic-demic, Canada has been turned upside down.
    If you hold a chicken upside down it become docile, no flapping, no squawking, not a peep.
    Are you feeling dizzy yet?

    To find out who rules over you. Find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
    Presently, federal, provincial gov’ts, Lockdowns, most especially not appointed Public Health Officers. They who take orders on policies from the U.N. W.H.O. . Who in turn take their orders from the Hidden City.

    If you want to be free. First, you must free you mind.
    Then shoulder increasing responsibility, until you are as strong as Atlas.

  7. There has stood unspoken a social contract.
    You leave me alone and I will tolerate your stupid little power politics and games.
    Basic mantra of an individual,who has no interest in telling other people how to live their lives.
    As and when the stupidity has gone too far,the citizens vote enmass to throw the bums out.

    Worked fairly well,except the “lesser evil bums” turned out to belong to the same party.
    That Parasitic Overload is now huge and very likely has corrupted the voting process to the breaking point.
    For Slimey Lizard 1,2 or 3 is not a choice when you believe their only use is lizard skin boots.

    Now that social contract is smashed beyond repair.
    The idiots holding positions of authority are hopelessly exposed and they have served each and everyone of us notice.
    No matter where we live or what we do to survive,they intend to bugger our lives, believing they must help us,regardless of whether we wish their help or not.
    “We must give you the Government Goo”.

    This Dread Covid Theatre of the past 15 months has been a true revelation..
    And an utterly impossible to parody Shit show.

    Government Help has proven to be far more lethal to the citizen than the virus these idiots are saving us from.

    And with our bureaus fully infested with 5th generation “civil servants,diversity hires and token Wokees,their delusions of Adequacy know no bounds..

    Now ..After failing so miserably that they have no chance of redemption,these “helpers” are looking for public applause and rewards..
    Having Panicked,flipped out and destroyed civilization,civil liberties,individual freedoms and the producing economy,to save us,from a virus so weak,that without the government propaganda,most of us would not even have sensed it as a bad flu year..They actually seem to assume they can go back to business as usual,looting the taxpayer.

    Truly amazing.
    These fools and bandits are too stupid to live.
    And far too dangerous to ever be permitted to hold any kind of authority over another human again.
    Yet they actually believe themselves to be “The smartest Persons in the room”.

    Delusions of adequacy this intense ,cannot be “cured”.

    We have just lived that sage old sarcasm,Those who seek power are universally unfit to wield it.
    And left unchecked and unrewarded,these same morons,will never lift their boot from our necks..they are so happy to help us..For they know best..
    Our finest citizens avoid positions of power ,like the plague itself,for the responsibility hangs very heavy on ethical citizens shoulders..

    However ,we need no further proof, our current fools and bandits were not even aware that their positions came with responsibilities.

    Those Oaths of Office,for them,are mere rituals to be gabbled through on your way to the victory lunch.

    And for the rest of our fearless civil servants..Pick a side.
    For if you continue to act on behalf of such “leaders” then I know where you stand.

    “We was just following orders”..”But we did it for your own good”..”But we had good intentions”.

    Right.

    Your actions speak for you.

    1. Strikes me that whole longwinded comment could be condensed to;
      “Me Savage .You Prey”.
      Cause when you kill the social contract to save that social contract..how can you be said to be “Helping”/
