When the Revolution Comes

 We are, sadly, being ruled by Marxian socialists of various stripes.  At the same time, we are being herded into the "Great Reset" by oligarchs pushing a Fascist line that "you will own nothing and you will like it" said with a German accent.  But of course you will not like it because you will be living in the middle of the "tragedy of the commons."  It is why you must cling to the truth.

Today, at the American Thinker we have to pieces that tie into the idea that the only way we might get out of the box they are attempting to put is into is if we refuse the lies. 

The first article, for a good history of Socialist lies comes form L. K. Samuels No Truth in Socialism: Why the 'Crisis of Marxism' Matters.

Samuels takes us on a journey back to the end of the 19th Century, when Marxism and Socialism were the bright, shiny new toy that would overtake Capitalism, a term invented by the Marxist, but essentially the way business had been done since the beginning of time. But then a strange thing happened: captialism kept improving the lives of ordinary people, contrary to Marx's philosophy.

This realization occurred in the late 1890s, when a crisis of confidence began to reach a fever pitch. Before that, Marxian socialists were seen as the bright new kids on the political block. They were gaining acceptance and recognition. They thought they had it made. Socialists had long predicted capitalism's inevitable demise. In anticipation, they prepared to be capitalism's pallbearers, and they breathlessly awaited the birth of a glorious socialist-proletarian revolution.

But then something unexpected happened: socialism started to decompose. Marxist leaders and revisionists looked inward and noticed serious flaws in Marx's socioeconomic predictions. Across Europe, the truth of Marxian socialism was called into question. As the defects and failures started to pile up, Marxian socialists faced an ideology both false and unworkable. Instead of witnessing capitalism in its last stage of life, it was apparent that Marxism and socialism were dying on the vine.

To Marxist socialists' dismay, the bourgeois system of market economics had gotten a clean bill of health. Capitalism was flourishing. Objective reality refused to comply with socialist demands. Instead, Marxian socialism was found guilty and given a sentence of rejection. To the public, Marxian socialism had lost its credibility.

Up until this time, the benefit of the doubt could be given to the Marxist Socialists and other various stripes of collectivism. But accepting that they were wrong was not what the Marxists did. No, they decided that if the truth went against them, they would have to throw out the truth. Thus, the "Big Lie" was born.

Nonetheless, Marxism and socialist revolutionary activity did not die. A French Marxist and Revolutionary Syndicalist, Georges Sorel, had already figured out the next course of action. His prescription was to inject heavy doses of "myth-making" into public discourse, confusing political issues, and overriding truth. His plan was to reinvigorate the socialist brand by releasing mountains of lies. Sorel understood that unconstrained truth would crush socialist theories and their fledgling movement, forcing socialists to master the art of slick propaganda to prevent being invalidated once again by the power of truth.

Georges Sorel went on to make lies sound truthful in an effort to defend the fallacies and failures of Marxism, propping up the advocacy of labor violence in the streets, anti-democracy, autocratic socialism, and revised Marxism. His myth-making propaganda became an inspiration to Marxists, fascists, and a host of socialist elites. To Sorel, truth was no longer important; it was an impediment to progress and had to be relegated to the dustbin of history.

Please go read Samuels' entire article. As usual, it is not overly long and you will learn a lot. I did.

But, we must go on now to an article by Ted Noel, MD entitled The 'Centers for Disease Control' Is No Such Thing. What Noel is getting at is that the CDC (also called the Conspiracy for Deceptive Calculations) can't really "control" diseases."  The name itself is a lie. More profoundly though, most of the "advice" given by the CDC and the NIH has been of the same type: lies that they knew were lies when they told them.  

He writes about the stupidity of lockdowns, which we have never done before. We have isolated the sick. Never have we quarantined the entire population of healthy people. This decision was either manifestly incompetent, or diabolical. I vote for the latter.

He also writes in great detail about the uselessness of masks. Masks can stop large droplets and are helpful with even smaller ones. He points out that masks are worn by surgeons because if they cough or sneeze during surgery, they are staring down into the patient's sterile field. But cloth masks as worn by the general public do not stop the virus, or even impede it.  From the virus's perspective, the mask isn't even there.

I had an experience the other day that shows the utter lack of scientific evidence on which these mask mandates are based. I take guitar lessons, and I went to my lesson as usual. I am fully vaccinated. Everyone in the store was without a mask, so I had no idea the store had a new policy. But then my instructor came out and said they had changed policy, and that we would have to be masked in the studio. Now, if I had the virus, I would be breathing out hundreds, if not thousands of virus bodies with each breath, so lets say 40,000 virus particles per minute. It would have done no good to have me masked in the studio because I had already been in the store for 20 minutes. If I was going to infect anyone else, I would already have done so, and that assumes the masks are protective, which they are not.  I refused and left.  I will not put up with this nonsense.

He also discusses treatments for Covid, which are available, safe, and work if given early in the disease process.  Again, the CDC seems to not be following the science, so what are they following?

So, why the lies? Why can't the CDC tell the truth? Why doesn't anyone seemingly in government tell us the truth? I suspect it has to do with power. The Marxist collectivists (read Socialist, Facsist, Communists, Progressives, Fabians, etc, etc,) want power, and if they told the dismal truth, nobody would give it to them. We would be crazy to do so. Do you want the United States to look like Cuba, or Venezuela, or Cambodia, or China, or North Korea or...I could go on. Suffice it to say that the only people who are comfortable in these places are the leader and the very well connected. And as history shows, many of those now shilling for the collectivists will be the first ones thrown against the wall when the revolution comes. Sure, I will be shot too, but first they will get rid of those who know where the bodies are buried.
