The saying, “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel” is attributed to  Samuel Johnson.  Johnson didn’t mean to vilify those who expressed actual love of country.   He was criticizing the pretended use of patriotism by unscrupulous politicians.  George Washington understood this, “Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.” Mark Twain was more blunt, “Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.”  In other words, true love of country must be separated from the ravings of politicians who threaten that, “unless you do what I say, you’re unpatriotic.”  Sound familiar?  Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden is just the latest scoundrel to use pretended patriotism as a shield for his incompetence.  Biden’s most recent resort to patriotism concerned vaccine mandates.  Asked about court rulings striking down mandates, Biden mumbled,  “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.   Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated.  That’s the problem. Everybody talks about freedom about not to have a shot or have a test.  Well guess what?  How about patriotism?  How about you make sure you’re vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anyone else.”  “What about that?” Biden added. “What’s the big deal?”  Much as I hate to disagree with Mumbly Joe, the big deal is the ease with which he is willing to cancel the freedoms that he was elected to protect.  This wasn’t the first time Biden told us the protection of freedom is not his priority.  Biden refuses to say a bad word about Xi Jinping.  “I’m not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uyghurs in the Western mountains of China.”  If China’s detaining, torturing, and enslaving millions, and has murdered about one million Uyghurs, what’s the big deal, right?  Biden minimized these atrocities, ascribing them to “different norms.”  “Culturally, there are different norms of each country and the leaders are expected to follow.”  So sayeth the Big Guy, the alleged leader of the free world.  Where did Biden get the idea that freedom “is no big deal?”  One very real possibility is that Biden’s being blackmailed by the Chinese.  Noted contemporary artist and crackhead Hunter Biden was involved in a  number of shady business deals in China, involving billions of dollars from people connected to Chinese intelligence.  According to Hunter’s own emails, the Biden family was paid some $31 million, and a 2.8 carat diamond.  One of the Chinese partners was Che Feng, who paid Biden $20 million.  Che Feng, known as “the super chairman,” is vice-minister for State Security.  He runs Bureau No. 8, specializing in the compromise of foreigners.  Che sure landed a big one.  Another Hunter partner, Patrick Ho, was arrested by the FBI, and is in prison.  Is Hunter simply a bad judge of character?  No.  When he went to China, he left his Secret Service details at home.  No witnesses.  Another explanation for Old Joe’s distaste for freedom is that he’s just following the science.  You know, the science – Dr. Anthony Fauci.  Fauci has no use for your freedom either.  He said that, if you think the government response to the Wuhan virus was mishandled, blame President Trump.  “We put together a good plan for how we were going to try to dampen down the spread of infection early on, thinking that was accepted by everyone, then the next day the President is saying ‘Free Michigan, Free Virginia’.  I didn’t quite understand what the purpose of that was except to put this misplaced perception about peoples individual rights that supersedes societal safety. That to me is one of the things that went awry in all of this.”  No Tony, what went awry was that we permitted a fascist runt like you to go on TV and tell us when we can and cannot go to work, go to school, go to church, and see our loved ones.  The truth is that Joe Biden, and the rest of that ageing, moldering, wild-eyed, side-show known as the Democrat Party have decided that they really have no use for personal freedom.  Never forget, whenever a politician uses the word “societal,” you’re about to get screwed.  Biden and his henchmen want to cancel your freedoms.  As we saw last week, it was Mumbly Joe who prompted Justin Trudeau to crack down on the truckers.  And Biden is worse than Trudeau because he’s been crooked much longer.  If you think Trudeau got away with his atrocities only because Canada lacks our Bill of Rights, think again.  U.S. truckers are said to be planning a truck protest for Washington, D.C.  Nothing has happened yet, but the Secretary of Defense has already called up 700 National Guardsmen to protect D.C.  Here in New Jersey, the State Police are getting heavy-duty tow trucks ready to remove protestor’s trucks.  Another Biden incursion on your personal freedom is his National Roadway Safety Strategy; part of the so-called “infrastructure” bill.  The goal of the plan is to reduce traffic fatalities- to zero.  Finally, government mandated immortality.  Transportation Secretary Buttigieg has a 42 point plan.  As former French Premier Clemenceau said of Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points, “God Almighty had only 10.”  But Pothole Pete has a cunning plan that cannot fail.  The Feds will work with States to build and maintain safer roads by updating to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and providing technical assistance to communities of all sizes on speed limits.  Permit me to translate.  This means by requiring States to install speed and red light cameras, and by dictating the speed limit on every road, or else the State gets no federal highway money.  If you think this is farfetched, think again.  The 1970’s national 55 MPH speed limit was forced through the same way.  And Pete’s got $14 billion of your money to do it.  The government has offered two justifications for this freedom grab, both of them bogus.  First, they say road fatalities were up 7% from 2019 to 2020.  While mathematically correct, this does not represent a trend.  More likely, lack of traffic on the roads during the pandemic, coupled with a decreased police presence, provided reckless speed maniacs more opportunities to kill themselves.  In fact, since 1972, road deaths are down nearly by 18,000 annually, and deaths per 100,000 population are down 44%.  This isn’t about safety, it’s about control.  So take a page from Mark Twain.  Support your county all the time.  If the government ever deserves support – well, I’ll get back to you.

Canadians are really nice people.  They’re highly educated, bilingual, clean, reasonable, and polite to a fault.  When Canadians get angry enough to engage in a large-scale protest, you know something is seriously wrong.  Since late January, truckers all across Canada, have been protesting Canada’s Wuhan virus restrictions.  The biggest protest found thousands of truckers descending on Ottawa, where they blocked streets, and for a time, a bridge linking Ontario with Michigan.   The popular story is that the truckers are protesting against the Canadian and U.S. vaccine mandates for crossing the U.S.-Canada border.  That’s part of it, but there’s a lot more to it.  As more than 90% of Canadian truckers already are vaccinated, this is not simply anti-vaccine griping.  It’s more elemental.  What the truckers are protesting against is the extent of and absurdity of the myriad Wuhan restrictions.  They’re not against reasonable restrictions to protect health, just the really arbitrary and stupid ones.  As an example of arbitrary stupidity, think of the restaurant rules we had in New Jersey, and which are still in place in many cities.  A mask is required when entering the restaurant.  Once seated, while talking and eating, no mask is required, a mask is then required to exit.  Canadian truckers face this absurdity on a national scale.  Truckers don’t have to be vaccinated while driving within Canada.  Truckers entering the country have to show proof of vaccine status.  Unvaccinated foreign truckers aren’t allowed to enter the country, while unvaccinated Canadian truckers re-entering the country after a U.S. stop are subject to testing and a 14-day quarantine.  Now, that’s dumb enough, but it’s not the whole story.  The testing and quarantine requirements don’t kick in immediately after crossing the border.  A trucker could enter Canada from New York, drive across the continent to British Columbia, more than 2,100 miles away, make his delivery, then drive home for a test and 14 day quarantine.  If the government is concerned about drivers transmitting the virus, why does that concern arise only after the delivery is made, days or weeks after entry?  If this nonsense makes you smell a rat, you’re very perceptive, and that rat resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, because this is a concerted action.  The U.S. also mandates vaccination of foreign truckers entering the country, only our mandate is even more absurd, because Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden is perfectly willing to verify that the driver of the truck entering from Mexico has been vaccinated, but is not at all concerned that the 80 illegal aliens being carried in the truck are unvaccinated; such being the extent of our homegrown absurd stupidity.  But back to Canada.  The truckers are justifiably upset.   They asked only that the government listen to their complaints, but instead of listening, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau chose to vilify them as racist, white supremecist terrorists.  There is no evidence for this claim.  The truckers have committed no violence and have displayed no racist motivations.  In truth, the protesting truckers are of all races and backgrounds.

  Trudeau ordered the truckers to disperse.  When they refused, he invoked the Emergencies Act, which allows Trudeau to order various measures that could include banning people from gathering in certain areas as well as restricting their travel across the country.  These powers were not invoked after 9-11, nor were they invoked in 2020 when BLM and Antifa blocked roads and actually did violence.  In fact, these extraordinary powers had been used only once before, by Trudeau’s father Pierre, in 1970, when members of the terrorist Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) kidnapped and murdered Quebec Deputy Premier Pierre Laporte.  I guess the fascist apple didn’t fall far from the tree.  But Justin is worse than his father because horn-honking  pales in comparison to kidnapping and murder.  As this is written, Trudeau the younger has promised to seize bank accounts of the truckers, cancel their licenses and insurance, and he could order military action against the protestors.  The prevailing consensus, even in Canada, is that this action is a major political miscalculation by Trudeau.  The leaders in Alberta, Quebec and Manitoba want nothing to do with it.  What Trudeau’s actions amount to is a decision to kill the protests to settle a personal score, as many of the protestors have voiced their strong opposition to the Trudeau government.

The truckers even have gone so far as to paint Trudeau as the offspring of another well-known dictator –

Trudeau’s mistake is much more than a simple dispute with truck drivers.  What he has decided to do is to tolerate and even support violent protests by BLM and Antifa, despite their criminal activities, while brutally suppressing the peaceful truckers.  This is madness, as it represents Trudeau’s choice to stand with the factions of society that contribute the least while demanding the most, and to punish the very people who, throughout the pandemic, worked tirelessly without complaint, despite the risks to their health.  Simply put, Trudeau has chosen to back the malcontent takers, most likely to bring about the end of civilization, at the expense of the hard-working truckers who labor to deliver the goods that make civilization possible.  “If you’ve got it, a truck brought it” is not just a facile Teamsters slogan, it’s the absolute truth.  When the Canadian government takes away the vehicles, licenses, insurance and operating capital of the truckers, who will drive the trucks and make the deliveries?  My brother, also a trucker, put it best, “They should just park their trucks, and then nobody eats.”  Once again, Trudeau’s response to this problem is madness.  All the truckers want are the freedoms promised to them by the Canadian national anthem,  “God keep our land glorious and free!  O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”  And where did Castreau get such a nutty idea?  From the worst place possible.  Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden called Trudeau and urged him to “exercise his federal powers.”  These two were made for each another.  Both are dangerous.  They’re working together to cancel freedom on both sides of the border.  We must put a political end to this tyranny.

The Lone Ranger TV show ran from 1949 to 1957.  At the end of most episodes, once the Lone Ranger had defeated the bad guys, someone would ask, “Who was that masked man?”  As each day passes, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden is becoming The Lone Masker.  Instead of asking, “Who was that masked man?” the pertinent question is fast becoming, “Why is that man masked?”  That’s because a dramatic drop in Wuhan omicron infections, coupled with two years of being bullied and lied to by the government, has convinced the vast majority of the populace that enough is enough.  We’ve navigated conflicting Fauci decrees – “don’t mask;” wear a mask;” wear two masks;” “cloth masks good;” “cloth masks bad.”  We’ve masked school children, who never were at serious risk from the virus.  We stole two years of their youth, retarded their educations, stunted their development, sparked increases in drug use and suicide, and merely managed to imbue these poor kids with fear, suspicion and despair.  The kids are exhausted.  Their parents, having been treated to “virtual” education, finally have realized what their children are being taught, resulting in angry confrontations at School Board meetings.  The kids, parents and most thinking Americans simply have had enough, and are ready to return to normal life.  Randi Weingarten, head of the Teacher’s Union, still doesn’t get it.  She announced this week, her union will “require” masking until there are “zero Covid cases.”  Memo to Randi, there will never be zero cases, and here’s a bulletin – your union doesn’t get to make that decision.  It’s high time that teachers are ordered either to teach by the rules established by the School Board or find another job.  The upshot of all this strife is that it seems that the era of the mask may be coming to a close, but Joe Biden simply hasn’t gotten the message.  Democrat governors of California, Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Oregon all have announced plans to lift mask mandates indoors and/or in schools in the near future.  All are hailing the recent drop in Wuhan cases, and extolling their own efforts to push vaccines, lockdowns and masks.  These are positive developments, but in true Democrat fashion, they can never do something beneficial without first lying about it.  Hence the following from Democrat pollster, Brian Stryker, “Democratic voters have run out of empathy for unvaccinated people dying of Covid.  They are ready to live their lives.”  Better late than never numb-nuts.  The rest of us have been trying to live our lives the past two years, beset by elected Democrat dictators, and Krazy Karens, whipped into heightened states of psychosis by Covid hysteria.  The real reason the Democrats are easing up is far more elemental.  They want to protect their phony-baloney jobs.  The Republican victory in Virginia and near-victory in New Jersey have put these would-be tyrants on notice that there’s only so much the people are willing to take.  And not just the smelly Walmart people.  Independents and many Democrat voters are ready to bolt, with the Mid-term elections growing ever closer.  They also had to get rid of masks because too many Democrats were being photographed without masks, while the mere peons they represent were required to mask up, or else.  Photos of Governor Newsome and Mayor Garcetti maskless at an NFL game didn’t sit well.  But the heifer that broke the camel’s back was Stacy Abrams, maskless, sitting on a schoolroom floor, surrounded by kids she required to wear masks, presumably to protect her fat ass.  Democrats are hoping against hope that voters will believe their Georgia voter suppression bullshit, so they had to come to the aid of Abrams, who’s still laboring under the delusion that she won the 2018 gubernatorial election.  So, how better to make the maskless Democrat politician hypocrisy go away than by announcing we don’t need masks anymore.  Except nobody remembered to tell Joe Biden.  Or else, they did tell him and he just doesn’t remember.  Because even Saint Anthony Fauci, the patron Saint of fascism, has taken notice.  Fauci said this week the United States is exiting the “full-blown pandemic phase of Covid-19.”  And he ought to know because he blew most of it.  Fauci further noted that decisions related to Covid-19 “will increasingly be made on a local level rather than centrally decided or mandated.  There will also be more people making their own decisions on how they want to deal with the virus.”  Fauci warned, however, that the door was open to decisions changing if outbreaks occur.  I worked for the government for 25 years, so I speak Bullshitese.  Let me translate.  “Since the Constitution provides that public health is a local, and not a federal responsibility, we will increasingly obey the supreme law of the land.  You may now be permitted to make your own decisions, since we never had any right to do what we did in the first place.  But, we won’t hesitate to steal your freedom again if we feel like it.”  Your government at work.  Only Joe Biden’s not on board yet.  Maybe he just enjoys mask-wearing too much.  You’ve gotta admit that Joe Biden has worn his masks in a variety of interesting and entertaining ways.  First there was face-toucher Joe –

Then we had chin-warmer Joe –

Then there was ever-vigilant double-mask Joe –

Of course, ever-resourceful, Joe adapted his mask to permit hair sniffing –

Who could ever forget the Biden peek-a-boo mask? –

And finally, the famous ear mask –

It’s been a wild ride.  No telling if the Feds will get on the mask cancelling bandwagon, but we may learn soon, as the federal “masks on transportation” mandate is due to expire on March 18th.  Will Biden acknowledge reality, or will he side with our neighbor to the North, Justin Trudeau, who’s busy arresting protesting truckers who dare to blow their horns within Ottawa’s city limits.  Trudeau and Biden do have a lot in common.  They even sound alike.  This week Justin Trudeau explained that Covid “mandates are the way to avoid further restrictions.”  Huh?  Restricting the public is the only way to avoid restricting the public?  Can’t you just hear Jen Psaki saying that?  For two years, Democrats have gotten away with trampling our rights by giving us the “Covid” excuse.  Samuel Johnson is quoted as saying, “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”  For my money, crying “Covid” is the last refuge of a tyrant.

In 2006, before she was a Fox TV star, Laura Ingraham wrote the book Shut Up and Sing, which took on loony leftist Hollywood performers who belabor us with their political views.  Her book reminded these know-nothings “we don’t care what you think, so just shut up and sing.”  While Laura’s book was refreshing, and entertaining, it hasn’t stopped mindless entertainers from inflicting their numb-scull beliefs on us.  It’s gotten even worse.  We’re not only treated to leftist delusions from the likes of Robert DeNiro and Bette Midler, but now have to endure civil rights and international trade lectures from athletes whose only qualification is the ability to stuff a ball in a hoop.  “You better listen to him, he was pre-med.”  Uh huh.  An even more troublesome development is the alarming degree to which aging 1960’s radicals and former civil-libertarians have abandoned their former principles in favor of support for government repression.  I’m old enough to remember the 1960’s.  The hippie ancestors of today’s Wokesters were told, “Turn on, tune in, and drop out.”  “Never trust anyone over age 30.”  They opposed  government regulations, and government generally.  Their motto was “Challenge Authority.”  The Wuhan virus changed all that.  Their transition from champions of personal freedom to boot-licking sycophants can be attributed to Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Anything Trump said had to be opposed.  Ergo, if Trump wants schools and businesses open, the Left wants them closed; Trump advocates therapeutics, so the Left must trash them.  Trump’s against masks, so masks are mandatory.  Which brings us to the ongoing Joe Rogan/Spotify/Neil Young, et al. dispute.  But first, a disclaimer.  I don’t listen to podcasts.  I’m neither a Joe Rogan supporter nor detractor, I’ve never heard the man.  In any event, Rogan has a podcast, for which Spotify reportedly has paid $100 million. (Why am I doing this.  What I really need is a podcast).  Rogan apparently interviewed Dr. Robert Malone, the vaccine scientist whose research led to the MRNA Wuhan virus vaccines.  Malone said official COVID figures are not to be trusted because hospitals get bonuses if patients have the virus, the government is ‘out of control’ and suppresses data.  While all these things are true, this led to calls for Spotify to implement a “misinformation policy.”  Let me translate.  In Woke-speak, “misinformation policy” means censorship of any opinion, even that of the scientist who invented the MRNA science that led to the Wuhan vaccines, if it conflicts with conventional opinion, or jeopardizes profits.  Enter Neil Young.  If you’re under 60, you may have said, “Who?”  Neil Young is a burned out Canadian rock singer, who once was a 1960’s activist.  Mr. Young has a perfectly Orwellian notion of the way to protect our freedoms, “To protect our freedoms, it seems we’re going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.”  He didn’t say to whom or for how long.  Young also has been quoted as saying, “It’s better to burn out, than to fade away,” and “The thing about my music is, there really is no point.”  I’m going to give him that one.  Anyhow, Young issued an ultimatum to Spotify, “Either cancel the Joe Rogan podcast,” which is heard by tens of millions of listeners, “or remove my music from your platform.”  Balancing their $100 million against Neil Young, Spotify chose the money, and removed Neil Young.  The Left leapt to Neil Young’s defense.  The World Health Organization announced it supports Neil Young’s attempt to censor unapproved opinions.  The WHO is controlled by China, and China would like to suppress the fact that it poisoned the entire world, so that figures.  The media hailed Young as a hero for taking a stand.  The fact that he’s taking a stand against the dissemination of the truth was lost on these morons.  Other musicians followed Young, Joni Mitchell and Nils Lofgren for two. (I can almost hear the echos of “Who? and Who?”)  Here’s the rogue’s gallery –

Are you sensing a pattern here?  Yes, Virginia, all three are burned out refugees from Woodstock, with lots of mileage on them, all city driving.  Especially Neil Young, who by his own admission spent 40 years “smoking marijuana like others smoke cigarettes.”  The weed alone can fry your brain, but also can lead to strokes and aneurysms.  Young suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm in 2005.  The event helped him change his life.  Only seven years later he gave up pot and alcohol in order to recover sufficient memory to write an autobiography.  If this seems a bit cruel to Mr. Young, remember, we’re being asked to rely on his word that fellow brain aneurysm patient Joe Biden’s decisions should override the Constitution.  This is a tough call.  After all, if Neil Young, Joe Biden and the Chinese Communist Party are for it, it must be good for America.  It’s even rumored that Neil Diamond may demand Spotify remove his music too.  Let’s see, the First Amendment, or Sweet Caroline?  I think I’ll stick with the First Amendment.  The real tragedy is that the call for cancelling our Constitution isn’t limited to washed-up musicians who may be excused because they’ve smoked enough dope to turn their brains into guacamole.  Francis Collins, chief of the National Institutes of Health, says he wants to “track down” and deliver “justice” to those he thinks have distributed “disinformation” about COVID-19.  Shouldn’t we listen.  He is an “expert.”  Never forget an expert is a person who knows more and more about less and less, until ultimately, he knows everything about nothing.  Winston Churchill warned that “nothing would be more fatal” than putting experts in charge of government.  It once was the job of journalists to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, by asking the questions and disseminating the information that the elites would rather suppress.  That’s what Joe Rogan is doing.  Sadly, the media has abandoned journalism for toadyism, and is willing to sacrifice your rights in the name of what they consider the public good, and all for one podcast they can’t control.  For its own good, the Left better hope its unsuccessful, lest “justice” be delivered to their interests.  Here a just a few Leftist podcasts it took me five minutes to find:  Know Your Enemy, “a leftist’s guide to the conservative movement”; Bad Faith, by Bernie Sanders’ press secretary; The Al Franken podcast, where Franken compares the U.S. to Nazi Germany; Coffee With Comrades, “current events, culture and action through a radical lens;” Good Morning Comrade, a Leftist/Socialist/Communist podcast that “shits on racists, misogynists, liberal wine moms, reactionaries, useless Democrats and other pillars of authoritarian western culture;” Doomed, “QAnon, white supremacists, Proud Boys, the alt-right…host Matt Binder guides you through all the conspiracy theories;” Sh*tty Christians, “a leftist comedy podcast about the people who exploit faith for profit and power.  Your sleeper cell in the Christian Right” (It’s comedy bashing Christians, so it’s alright.  How long would a podcast called Bat Sh*t Crazy Muslims last?  Now that’s funny).  I find all the foregoing podcasts to be repugnant, but I don’t want to cancel any of them, and therein lies the difference between conservatives and the Left.  Meantime, just ignore entertainers’ demands for tyranny.  They know not what they do.  Tell them, “shut up and sing.”  And to Neil Young, you burned out, now fade away.

The curious case of George Soros has been a puzzle to me for some time.  The 89 year old Soros was born György Schwartz, to a Hungarian Jewish family.   In 1947, Soros immigrated to the UK, where he studied at the London School of Economics.  Soros made his money in a variety of financial positions, including hedge fund manager and currency trader.  Soros is a multi-billionaire who funds organizations whose stated purposes are the destruction of the American government and society.  Why would someone who has so profited from capitalism seek its demise?  It’s complicated, and then again, maybe not so complicated.  At the end of the day, it all leads back to that progressive mental disorder, delusions of rectitude, and the curious progressive definition of “democracy.”  Soros has published a number of books detailing his political philosophy.  As a Guardian article has explained, his defining intellectual principle is internationalism.  Soros is a globalist who seeks to establish a world defined not by sovereign states, but by a global community.  He believes everyone shares an interest in “freedom, equality and prosperity.”  Unfortunately for the rest of us, however, Soros’s definition of “freedom” is a world where everyone is required to do as he commands.  Equality?  OK, I’ll give him that one, for if Soros gets his way everybody will be equally miserable.   And like other progressives, he confuses welfare with prosperity.  Soros envisions what he calls a “global open society,” and he believes that his highly regulated authoritarian dream society represents the only way to ensure that humanity can overcome the “existential challenges of climate change and nuclear proliferation.”  I might list them in opposite order, and of course, Soros doesn’t mention what he plans to do to stop Iranian and North Korean nuclear proliferation.  But no matter, Soros truly wants to transform national and international politics and society to fit his perverted notions of freedom, democracy and prosperity.  Although Soros took advantage of the Western capitalist system to amass his fortune (he once was known as the man who broke the Bank of England), he now believes that unregulated global capitalism undermines his open society plan. (He’s not giving his money back).  Soros complains that nationalist interests foster domestic and international inequality, because industries are free to move to lower tax nations and lenders are free to make what he considers unsound loans that threaten his Utopian views. The true enemy for Soros is nationalism.  In Soros’s opinion, the only way to save capitalism from itself is to establish a “global system of political decision-making.”  Think of George Soros as a billionaire version of John Lennon, “Imagine there’s no countries.  It isn’t hard to do.  Nothing to kill or die for.  And no religion too.”  No countries, just your benevolent global dictatorship.  Surprising no one, the U.S. is Soros’s main villain.  The U.S. has a nasty habit of acting in its own national interest.  It’s free to unilaterally impose economic sanctions when and where it sees fit.  It’s called sovereignty, and Soros wants to put an end to that.  Soros wants the U.S. to change its ways, for its own good, of course, with George Soros as the arbiter of what is “good.”  To this end, Soros has given more than $32 billion to a number of left-wing organizations.  Here are some of them and what they stand for.   The American Federation of Teachers (leftists love nothing more than early indoctrination);  pro-Palestinian groups like Al-Haq & Arab American Institute (necessarily anti-Israel);  Alliance for Justice supports leftist judges and attacks Republicans as extremists (Sound familiar?); American Friends Service Committee supports amnesty for illegal aliens, dissolution of American borders, and repeal the Patriot Act;  Aspen Institute accuses the U.S. of structural racism; Campaign for America’s Future wants tax hikes, socialized medicine, and a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs (It doesn’t matter what the majority wants – democracy, right?);  Campus Progress stifles any dissent from leftist opinion; Center for Constitutional Rights (Don’t you just love that name?) is pro-Castro organization for open borders that opposes post-9/11 anti-terrorism measures, and alleges that American injustice provokes acts of international terrorism (No mention of 1st, 2d, 4th, 5th, or 6th Amendment rights);  He funds a number of climate organizations that condemn, logging, mining and ranching; MADRE  paints the U.S. as the greatest violator of human rights (No mention of China); National Committee for Voting Integrity, (Get a load of this one) opposes proof of citizenship and photo identification requirements for voters in American elections as the means of assuring election integrity (Right out of Orwell, “War is peace.  Freedom is slavery”).  Other groups back forced redistribution of wealth, higher taxes and more welfare.  NPP wants the government to use military funding for public education, universal health insurance, environmentalist projects, and welfare.  Ploughshares Fund opposes America’s missile defense system, and opposes U.S. foreign policies and military ventures.  Media Matters for America systematically monitors  print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for “conservative misinformation” (No dissent allowed, you see).  Prison Moratorium Project works for the elimination of all prisons in the United States and the release of all inmates.  So to summarize, Soros wants no borders, no citizenship, no law enforcement (except his own), no free speech, no national defense, high taxes, income redistribution, and no prisons.  Let the criminals out, and then send them their checks.  I don’t agree with any of the things Soros supports.  That being said, he’s got a right to fund what he chooses to fund, up to a point.  George Soros is a U.S. citizen.  Progressives are in the process of trying to restrict the rights of certain U.S. citizens (Republicans) to speak, act, or run for office, and even to imprison those who oppose them, painting  as “insurrectionists” or “urban terrorists” anyone who so much as dares to suggest that our current Democrat leaders are corrupt or illegitimate.  For my money, based upon the foregoing description of Soros’s activities, if a Capitol building trespasser wearing a Viking helmet deserves 4 years in prison, then they ought to hang Soros, especially in light of his most recent activities.  Soros has been funding leftist prosecutors in a number of States.  Prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law.  Soros DAs have turned cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore into criminal hellholes.  Unconvinced that the U.S. will conform to his will naturally, Soros has decided to use the prosecutors t0 destroy the fabric of our society.  No laws, no borders, economic collapse, a breakdown of government control, and we are ripe for dictatorship, right out of the playbook of the Nazis Soros managed to evade in his youth.  Whether he wears a Brown Shirt or a Saville Row suit, a fascist is still a fascist.
