Here From the Government to Steal and Kill

Three weeks ago, Kamala Harris was no more popular than Joe Biden, whose administration has been a conspicuous failure. If the media is able to keep her in the White House, this will signify a major step in the consolidation of power by leftists. Soft tyranny will transition to hard.

The groundwork has been laid. Consider the IRS following the discordantly named Inflation Reduction Act. As Forbes reported in 2022,

The Schumer-Manchin tax bill … raises taxes and will give the IRS billions to go into what the Wall Street Journal called “beast mode.”

The bill did nothing to reduce the inflation Democrats have caused, but it did hand an extra $80 billion of our money to the IRS.

That $80 billion is more than six times the current annual IRS budget of $12.6 billion.

How can the IRS spend all of that? You guessed it, the bill says a whopping $45.6 billion will be for enforcement, and make no mistake, enforcement is the main directive from Democrats to the IRS.

Enforcement entails weapons:

An official report published by the Government Accountability Office said that at the end of 2017, the IRS had 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition in its weapons inventory.

That was before the Democrats gave them another $80 billion to spend.

Ronaldus Magnus said the most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” That applied to a soft tyranny.

After benevolent pretenses have been dispensed with, the scariest words will be, “I’m from the government and I’m here to take your money.”

London Police Chief Issues Global Threat

Careful what you say about the war of extermination British authorities are inflicting on their people. Lisps Mark Rowley, London’s chief of police:

“We will throw the full force of law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.”

The crimes committed online are what George Orwell called thoughtcrime.

Lest you burst out laughing at this bureauweenie for threatening people who reside not only outside London but outside the UK, consider that British authorities have already called for extradition for thoughtcrime. From the government media:

The director of public prosecutions says his teams will consider seeking the extradition of social media influencers allegedly playing a role in the violent disorder gripping the UK from abroad.

A pro-Islam Harris/Walz administration would be happy to comply.

Healthcare in UK May Be Denied to “Racists”

One advantage of socialized medicine is that it allows increasingly hostile Big Government to deny healthcare to disfavored groups:

Britain’s Health Secretary Wes Streeting has threatened to deny healthcare to “racists” after a pair of nurses from the Philippines were allegedly attacked with rocks while traveling to work in a taxi in Sunderland, England, during anti-mass migration protests.

While neither of the two nurses was harmed, they claimed they were “terrified” by the attack…

This is not the first time health officials have said they would deny alleged racists healthcare. In 2019, the North Bristol NHS Trust said it would withdraw treatment from those who engaged in racist or sexist language or behavior.

No need to throw rocks to incur the wrath of Britain’s moonbat establishment — as Jeremy Clarkson observes:

Clarkson has urged Sir Keir Starmer and media outlets like the BBC to “calm down” with the “rhetoric” that those protesting up and down the country at the moment are all “far-right”. …

“Today, I’m surrounded by farmers and plasterers and brickies and butchers and all I hear, all day long, is that there’s too much immigration,” Clarkson penned.

“But if they say this out loud, or if they go on a march, they are told by the London elite that they are far-right extremists or racist thugs. For the most part, they’re not. … There was a time you’d have called them the salt of the earth.”

However, nowadays normal people are denounced as “weird.”

Stasi Alive and Well and Living in Michigan

Normally, if we want a preview of the totalitarian dystopia we will subsist under if Democrats prevail, we turn to California or New York. But Michigan under moonbat rule will serve just as well:

Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has launched a campaign to root out supposed “election misinformation” – by urging the state’s residents to report each other.

As if more chaotic divisiveness was needed ahead of the November vote, the idea here, in one of the swing states, seems to be to get people to keep an eye on their neighbors, and if what they see and hear is interpreted as “misinformation” – report it, complete with a photo, “if possible.”

A document from Benson’s office provides a Michigan government email as the address for such reports, while the call to this type of action can be found on the official page about “voter education resources.”

These resources unsurprisingly include links to left-wing propaganda platforms like Snopes and PolitiFact.

Benson’s efforts complement those of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has laid the groundwork for massive election fraud.

Cars That Inform on Each Other

The communist rulers of East Germany relied on citizens to rat each other out to the Stasi. In our society, the emphasis is on technology. Soon we will have cars informing on each other:

A patent application from the automaker [Ford] titled “Systems and Methods for Detecting Speeding Violations” was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Jul. 18 2024, and was originally filed by Ford Jan. 12, 2023.

In the application, Ford discusses using cars to monitor each other’s speeds. If one car detects that a nearby vehicle is being driven above the posted limit, it could use onboard cameras to photograph that vehicle. A report containing both speed data and images of the targeted vehicle could then be sent directly to a police car or roadside monitoring units via an Internet connection, according to Ford.

Next, Ford might patent a microphone that starts up with the engine and reports racist or homophobic comments to the FBI.

Coeur d’Alene Shows How to Respond to Tyranny

California moonbats must be colonizing Idaho the way they did Oregon and Washington. In Coeur d’Alene, local bureaurats banned the Cross:

Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce recently changed their policies to prohibit religious symbols and flags in their annual 4th of July parade.

Liberals quickly seize control of local government, driven by their compulsion to boss other people around. But the native population has not yet been displaced:

Not being Christian is no excuse for not carrying a cross if liberals tell you that you can’t.

Hostility to the religion that has served as the backbone of Western Civilization for 2,000 years is not limited to the termites who have seized control of Coeur d’Alene. The rot reaches to the top of the federal government. In the official tweet below, the Biden Regime attempts to scare its base into voting by warning that Christians might hamper the killing of inconvenient babies. The symbolism underscores that the Democratic Party is not merely wrong but evil:

Nothing is more ominous to a moonbat than the Cross. It works on them the same way it does on vampires in horror movies and for the same reason.

Your Property Is Not Your Property

Under leftist rule, your property is not your property. It belongs to bureaucrats. They might let you use it, but only on their terms. If you use it in a way that contradicts their ideology, they may punish you.

From Connecticut:

A Barnum Road homeowner accused of cutting down trees and filling in environmentally sensitive wetlands with soil and wood chips has been ordered by the city of Danbury to complete a $26,000 restoration of the property.

That is, she cleaned up a swamp on her own property. Liberals like swamps. So they made her put the swamp back. Because the planet.

About 1.5 acres on the homeowner’s 3.3-acre property is wetlands…

No doubt the planet will feel much better after the acre and a half of swamp is restored. Bureaucrats already feel better, smugly pleased by their belief that they can make anyone do anything just because they say to.

To be sure the wetlands are not degraded again, the city order requires the homeowner to place a line of boulders between the home and the wetlands, among other requirements.

The point is to remind her whose property it is.

Forcing Doctors to Inform on Microaggressors

“Snitches give stitches,” as Jonathan Turley puts it. Doctors in Oregon may soon risk losing their medical license not only for committing trivial thought crimes (a.k.a. “microaggressions”) but for failing to report them.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

The state’s medical board is in the process of shoehorning “microaggressions”—innocently intentioned behaviors interpreted by women or minorities to be subliminal communications of bias—into its definition of “unprofessional conduct,” according to the proposed rule, which the board unveiled in April.

This will not improve the quality of healthcare. As former University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine associate dean Stanley Goldfarb of the countermoonbat medical group Do No Harm observes,

“If [doctors] believe that they can be sanctioned because they deliver bad news or make a comment that the patient misinterprets, this will lead to a chilling effect on speech and ultimately lead to deterioration in the patient-physician relationship.”

A poisoned patient–physician relationship and CYA as an approach to medicine are already problems due to lawsuit abuse. They will now get worse.

Here’s how easy it is to commit a microaggression:

“America is the land of opportunity.” “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.” “America is a melting pot.” Those are examples of harmful “microaggressions,” according to Columbia professor Derald Wing Sue, lauded by Oregon’s state government as a “microaggressions expert.” […]

In its 2021 “DEI Action Plan,” for example, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services said posing the question, “How did you get your job?” to a minority constitutes a “racial microaggression.”

Other sentiments designated by Sue as microaggressions include “Everyone can succeed if they just work hard enough” and “There is only one race, the human race.”

As a rule of thumb, if Joy Reid would not bob her head in agreement, then don’t say it, because it is a microaggression.

We have passed the point where it is sufficient never to say anything a radical leftist would dispute. Doctors will be required to actively participate in imposing tyranny. Turley notes that under the proposed rule,

“a licensee must report within 10 business days to the Board any information that appears to show that a licensee is or may be medically incompetent or is or may be guilty of unprofessional or dishonorable conduct or is or may be a licensee with a physical incapacity.”

Committing a microaggression would officially qualify as “unprofessional or dishonorable conduct.” Those who fail to report microaggressing colleagues to the Stasi might also lose their licenses.

That’s the kind of country liberals are turning this into.
