No Kings Protest: It's all about control

 By CE Marshall


             King George III - A real king, a real tyrant 

     From work to politics- the "wrench in the works" of a prosperous society is the need for one person or a small group of people to control another group of people.  I cannot relate to this peculiar obsession but I'm understanding as I get older that it's at the core of what makes a tyrant or even a bad boss.  The leader of any situation in which he or she wants to control everyone is at the heart of tyranny.  

     In the media you also see a form of control, but much to their alarm, that control seems to be slipping through their fingers.  People who read and take a few moments to understand a given situation and then think for themselves will see things for what they are.  The media once had full control over what the public saw and then would use that power to "spoon feed" the narrative they wanted.  It worked for many years.  One could say it's been working since the Kennedy presidency when his murder was covered up and muddled by our government with the help of the media utilizing conspiracy theories and inuendo to prevent the truth from being known.   X and other social media platforms have removed "control" from the media and given more to the individual.  "You are the media now" is one of Elon Musk's favorite tag lines and I think he's correct.  It really doesn't take that long to understand a situation if you try thinking for yourself and asking questions.  The "No Kings" protests of this past weekend with all its angst and pronounced worries that we are losing our Democracy is an obvious "straw man" whereby they (and by "they" I mean the "Silent Tyrants" of our society.  The ruling elite.) create a boogeyman that doesn't exist and then orchestrate protests against that boogeyman.  This works on a lot of people from the ditch diggers to college professors suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" so it's not hard to fill the streets with rabid lunatics.  What's missing is any explanation as to what they protest about.  During all conversations in the street with the old hippies and the blue haired girls a clear explanation was completely missing.  Not once did I hear a reasonable, coherent answer to the question "What are you protesting?" or "In what way has Trump behaved as a King or tyrant?".  It was like they were protesting just to protest- like window shopping or strolling through a park.  A stroll of sanctimonious screeching old fools and malcontents that cannot accept the consequences of an election they lost.   

     I will tell you what they were protesting, though.  They were protesting their inability to control the narrative of public policy through full control of the media and news.  The left has had this luxury for a long time, and it is slipping away very quickly.  They have no alternative but violence and feigned outrage over nothing.  May this be the beginning of the end for them and the beginning of the rights of mankind as individuals in society being given the respect and dignity they deserve.  

     The No Kings protesters need not demand the head of the king and an end to the tyranny they've imagined.   The Tyrant is right under their nose.  It is them.

America's Silent Tyrants

 By CE Marshall 


                       
                Hero of the Individual's Right to Live Unhindered by Government
                                                            Charlie Kirk 


     As I consider the frustrations regarding our government today, the daunting obstacles to restoring the American individual's voice keep surfacing in my mind. These obstacles are what have come to be like major parts of a snake or even snakes themselves, a silent tyranny, each of the snakes of this tyrant are dependent on one another as they slither their way around our Democratic Republic- constricting and rendering the ordinary citizens powerless.   The snakes are as follows;  

  

Snake Number One- Of all the parts, this is most logically described as the "head" of all the snakes. The Federal Agencies who hold centralized power without being elected. This is very much to the advantage of Leftists because they are in favor of more government control.  Federal agencies are, well.... them!   Government control is their modus operandi.  This explains why DC is 95% Democrat.    

Snake Number two- The Lobbyists who use money to direct the nation’s law to their own specific need.  This is the biggest advantage to corporations who often require laws to do a lot of what they do at the expense of free competition in the marketplace. It is "freedom to petition the government" on steroids.  In their defense though, the government allows it and takes advantage of the relationship in many different ways.  I don't see how it benefits the people though. To petition the government should be from individual citizens or private groups not corporations and political action committees.     

Snake Number three- The Elections, which require enormous amounts of money to render any candidate capable of being elected. This naturally encourages the parties to throw enormous amounts of money towards the individual they think can win the election, never mind if they are or are not qualified.  The end result is a candidate that the party wants but not necessarily one that is good for the country.  That aspect is of very little concern, especially to the Leftists because their “reason for being” is it to subjugate the individual anyway. Why would they care what the American people actually want or need?       

Snake Number four- The political parties being the critical aspect of elections render two camps of thought in government – one always ruling over the other according to which party won.  This results in elected officials being in a position of tyranny in that the rights of the other side are ignored or subjugated.   Elected officials are supposed to be leading us all, not just those that agree with them, aren’t they?    This is much more terrifying under the Democrats because their willingness and glee to silence the individual is much easier with federal agencies and an army supporting them.      

Snake Number five - The media and their tendency towards the left.  Why?  The virtue signaling of journalists is irresistible.  Also, the money is very good if you're at the top of the media pecking order.  In their mind they're saving the poor pathetic victims from the big bad rich people even though they are often the rich ones being discussed.   Of course, there are many different versions of this "we're the saviors" ideal, but you get the point.   They get to play "superman" for their audience no matter how untrue that might be.    Conservatives are becoming more alert to the situation, though.  Cable TV has Fox News and Newsmax, which are both conservative.  Online X, podcasts and other online news sources tend to be more moderate and/or conservative.   Newspapers?  They are becoming relegated to the ash heap of history because they’re nearly 100% to the left.   Most major newspapers such as the NYT and the Washington Post are so biased as to be laughable.  I only read the newspaper to get the jest of the liberal opinions on whatever topic is running through society this week.   For the media, the money and the need to feel virtuous is a lifelong addiction for the collective.  They are emotional parasites.  The Leftists still rule in this category although their power is waning.     

Snake Number six - The court system ruling on matters of crime and punishment where the judge takes it upon himself to divvy up justice or lack of justice according to his or her emotions and his or her perception of social justice and inequality rather than the rule of law. They often favor the parasites over people who actually accomplish things and work hard.  Guess which party tends to rule in favor of social justice and sees the criminal as a victim and the victim as a villain?  The court system is the Leftist’s tool for enacting laws that the Republicans do not want by having a court rule something as a "law" such as was the case with the legalization of abortion.  No election required.  In addition, by not enforcing laws that Republicans support, they still get their way whether they were elected or not.  It’s also a wonderful source for the Leftists to feel virtuous for their “liberal” leanings- a lifelong addiction as mentioned above.  They get their way, one way or another.  It is the truest form of dictatorship in that it seeks to control justice in order for the dictators to feel better about themselves.  

  Snake Number seven- Academia and its tendency towards the left – partly due to its dependency on a generous government and partly due to its allegiance to all thing's science – usually pitting “serious” matters to science and spiritual matters to being of no importance.  (Ironically most higher levels of education such as Harvard were begun as a type of seminary for studying God and His influence on science, not "Science as the God" where it lies today.) Academia is enshrined as the government’s lifelong lapdog because it is a fountainhead of cash and they are unlikely to disagree with anything the government dictates (by that I mean agencies not the elected officials). One very convenient example is global warming or climate change.  This is a tool for more government control.  So, for example, if you’re studying climate change you will find out quickly there is no money to test IF “climate change” is real but there’s plenty of money to prove it IS real and better yet, to elaborate on how the calamity is hovering over all of us unless we obey their latest edict.       

       As you can see, at the root of all of these snake parts there is one very common denominator, the Leftists or people who gain from government relations- "cronyism".  The Leftists' aim is to get the government more power which quite naturally diminishes the power of the individual.  Money supports the head of the snake, the federal agencies, and that money comes from the American people and businesses.  It is their sly form of reallocation of wealth.  They then use the media to trumpet their philosophy.  At the same time corporations are beholden to federal agencies to stay in business so they play the game lest they get left out. The only topic that’s not totally the fault of the Leftists is, ironically, the political parties.  The Republicans are as guilty of abusing the power of the party as the Democrats.  The difference is the Republicans do work to instill personal rights of the individual such as speech, religion, and personal thought itself- the right to think for yourself and live a life you choose.  The pursuit of happiness.  Republicans can play dirty and flex their power, but they are much more tied to the reason for the existence of our country - the power of the individual and his or her absolute sanctity. We the People.  We are the sovereign of the United States just as King Charles is the sovereign of the United Kingdom.  Much to the chagrin of any pro-government philosophy, the individual is the ruler of America.  This is the secret of its power.  May it reign forever.

Chuck Marshall's Humble Opinion in the Orlando Sentinel Again


By Chuck Marshall

     They like me, they really like me !    I enjoy writing my opinion so much, I think it goes without saying pontificating for a living would be my dream job !   Today's published rambling was in regards to a column by a columnist from the Washington Post (or it might have been the New York Times... same difference !)   Anyway, it feels good to have your 2 cents out there, even if you don't actually even get 2 cents.
