There is perhaps nothing more tiresome and embarrassing as the theatrical pearl clutching of leftist media propaganda. For three years the public had to deal with the incessant drone of media fear mongering over the covid pandemic, an event which turned out to be a nothing-burger that 99.8% of the population on average would easily survive. After the 2020 elections we have been inundated with narratives about how conservatives are a “threat to democracy” – A democracy which progressives don’t even believe in as the recent DNC coup against Joe Biden proves.
The latest evolution of the democracy narrative is that free speech (and probably Russia) is the root evil behind civil unrest in western countries. The notion of thought crime is making its way to the forefront of the establishment tool box and this suggests we are entering the next stage of authoritarianism – Open criminalization of speech.
The Guardian in the UK is fully onboard with this development. The media outlet is on the warpath against Elon Musk and X (formerly known as Twitter) after Musk defied European and UK officials and their demands for censorship. In an article titled ‘Inciting Rioters In Britain Was A Test Run For Elon Musk. Just See What He Plans For America’, the platform launches into a tirade of delusional progressive talking points, a word salad designed to distract from the reality that what they are actually calling for is the death of free speech.
The Guardian argues:
“…Back in the golden days of 2020, tech platforms, still reeling from a public backlash, had at least to look as if they gave a shit. Twitter employed 4,000-plus people in “trust and safety”, tasked with getting dangerous content off its platform and sniffing out foreign influence operations.”
“In Britain, the canary has sung. This summer we have witnessed something new and unprecedented. The billionaire owner of a tech platform publicly confronting an elected leader and using his platform to undermine his authority and incite violence. Britain’s 2024 summer riots were Elon Musk’s trial balloon…”
“The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated…?”
“…What Musk – the new self-appointed Lord of Misrule – has done is to rip off the mask. He’s shown that you don’t even have to pretend to care. In Musk’s world, trust is mistrust and safety is censorship. His goal is chaos. And it’s coming.”
The most important question that The Guardian and their leftist ilk never address is this: If a democracy relies on mass censorship and thought crime policies in order to function, if it relies on “protecting” the public from unfortunate truths, then is it really worth saving?
I and millions of other would argue no – It’s not worth saving. That “democracy” is broken and corrupt and should be wiped from the face of the Earth before it destroys the very culture it claims to protect.
The political left continues to prove it is emotionally stunted and frantic, relying on lies and self-induced terror to drive its base of supporters forward on the path the gatekeepers (globalists) prefer. If you’ve ever tried to reason with a screaming toddler hellbent on getting what it wants, then you know what it’s like trying to reason with leftists.
The hyper-emotion of the left is an easy lever for the elites to manipulate, and it’s not relegated to the US. We’ve seen the same trend in Europe and the UK. There’s an accelerating panic in Britain as the working class public (most of them patriots) protested in large numbers across the nation against open borders. Almost 70% of the UK populace is against current policies on mass immigration, specifically from the third-world. The Brexit vote was based primarily on the UK public’s opposition to the forced mass immigration agenda of the EU.
Yet, the self-described “defenders” of democracy have no interest in the public voice. They only care about majority concerns if those concerns run parallel to their agenda.
This refusal to take public concerns on third-world migrants seriously, combined with the ongoing two-tier policing system which seeks to hide migrant crime statistics, has led directly to the protests and riots we have seen this past month. Let’s be clear: It’s government officials in the UK that are to blame for the violence. They are the culprits.
The same goes for the riots of January 6th, an event which started out peaceful and was then triggered to react violently after Capitol police began shooting the crowd with rubber bullets and throwing tear gas grenades into their midst. You can only poke the bear for so long before the bear wakes up and claws your face off.
Of course, when the bear does attack, play the victim and be sure not to tell anyone how you provoked it. It’s the kind of gaslighting conservatives and patriots have been dealing with for the duration and the latest events in the UK suggest it’s not going to end anytime soon.
The Guardian is, in a way, testing the waters of totalitarianism by moving away from the old-school rationale of the “greater good.” They touch on it briefly, but their core argument here is that the system is sacrosanct no matter how corrupt it might be. Those in power and their policies cannot be criticized or protested because, well, they are the elites and we just have to trust that they know what’s best for us.
If we interfere with them in any way, collapse will befall us and chaos will reign supreme. And we don’t want that, now, do we?
Maybe we do. Maybe it’s time for the system as it stands today to go down. Maybe we should stop allowing the beneficiaries of the two-tiers system to hide behind the thin veneer of democracy. After all, their version of democracy is simply incremental tyranny. They’ve proven this is the end game in the UK (in case anyone had previous doubts).
At bottom, it’s not the job of Big Tech conglomerates or government officials to police public speech. Their positions are entirely predicated on their ability to serve the public interest and this includes ALL of the public, not just progressives. From what I have seen so far, Elon Musk’s defiance is a natural reaction to incompatible government. Musk is a symptom of a greater movement, not the cause.
The gatekeepers want to make it all about one man, or a handful of men. They want you to focus on Musk, or Trump, because they don’t want to admit the truth: That the real threat they want to neutralize is YOU, along with millions of other conservatives and independents. You are the great danger to their agenda.
If a specific political leadership is not able to offer a good argument as to why they should exist, then maybe they shouldn’t. If a system needs to be replaced, then it will be and there’s nothing that progressive hand-wringers and globalists from Davos can do about it. They are not necessary. They are not the future. They are only holding us back.

“After the 2020 elections we have been inundated with narratives about how conservatives are a ‘threat to democracy’…”
.
Have you noticed that the words ‘Democracy’ and ‘Liberty’ (and other such terms) now mean little-to-nothing but to buttress and attempt some legitimacy for various OTHER nonsensical words and positions being spouted around those terms? Words like ‘Democracy’ are used to fortify other ideas being put forth in their proximity that have little legitimacy and thus cannot stand on their own as useful thinking.
.
‘Threat’ and “Democracy’ no longer have any meaning… just like other words that have morphed into meaninglessness like gay and pride… and even, America. (What is ‘America’ now, exactly? What the Deluded Dems call America? What Donald Trump calls America? ‘America’ as having the meaning of a good thing or that of a horrible place that should no longer exist? Who gets to define America, anymore?).
.
And there are so many ‘Threats’ today that no when most EVERYTHING is a ‘Threat’… then being ‘threatened’ has been installed as normal living. So no big deal.
.
Meaningless words have now been drained of their true intent and purpose. A loss of meaning of words to signify the loss of meaning of Life itself for those who distort and pervert our language.
.
“The latest evolution of the democracy narrative is that free speech… is the root evil…”.
.
The truth is found in turning that notion around. The Root Evil is in the restriction of speech and the loss of freedom and agency for the speaker/writer.
.
“The political left continues to prove it is emotionally stunted and frantic, relying on lies and self-induced terror…”.
.
Much of the World has lost its will to live and prosper. And so – in the deadness of their minds and spirits – they exist solely to drag everyone else and the Planet down into Hell with them.
Those who accuse others of ‘hate’ are the hateful ones who refuse to confront their own demons and the truth of their own personal and group depravity.
Yep and I grow tired of those on the “right” who don’t get it. I have my problems and doubts with Trump but I came to a form of discovery after the assassination attempt on his life. And it’s simple. Those people at those Trump rallies (never been to one) are my people. I gotta funny feeling they belong to most of you too.
I decided at that point we must try and get him elected and hold his feet to the fire. We shall deal with the fallout later. I’m writing this because I’m getting pissed off at some of them. Trump does NOT hate our culture. That’s it, that’s all you need.
Those people I saw at the rally deserve it win. I don’t care wtf he is. We must put ourselves in the best position. It’s like playing pool you leave yourself the best option.
I still don’t trust him, but I trust the people who can’t get this thru their thick skull much less.
Apologies for being off topic Brandon. Something I needed to say. Just because I am supporting DT does NOT mean I think he’s going to save us. That along with “your vote doesn’t matter, are the biggest psyops to ever plague conservatives. Trust me I live in a place where right thinking leaders are plentiful. Imagine if Soros trolls came into office. I will NEVER accept that. In fact, you Gents should move to such a place.
Luke: “I have my problems and doubts with Trump but I came to a form of discovery… Those people at those Trump rallies (never been to one) are my people.”
.
The lines of demarcation today could not be clearer.
.
A vote for Democrats is an endorsement of Insanity. Pure and simple.
A vote for Republicans is a vote for LESS Insanity. And less Insanity is always better than more.
.
That’s what RFK Jr. came to realize. The Party of his family has gone flat-out bat-crap crazy. The Party left HIM before he had to leave it.
.
RFK Jr. is a voice of reason and a champion against the likes of Doctor Death… and all those who now seek to forever silence Free Speech in America.
.
Trump and RFK Jr. combining forces is a great move. Whether this will work in the end depends upon just how flat-raving-stark-mad America already is right now who might still vote for the giggling, cackling, smirking, empty-pants-suit-wearer.
.
A vote for Dems at this point will mean the end of America as we have known it.
Nobody needs to vote for Cackles the Communist and she’ll “win” all the same.
Luke, don’t support Trump. He will not save the nation. Support freedom and good decent people not causes and especially not politicians. You could be right that a vote for Trump is the best thing to do, but, vote for him and then be critical of everything he does.
In the late 1970’s Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith floated an idea that could have saved Rhodesia, and then South Africa, if it had been allowed to have been implemented. It was the same UK that torpedoed it then. That idea was a “qualified vote”, simply put you would have to be a citizen, 18 years of age, in possession of a Matriculation certificate (High School graduate, or GED in our language) and not on any form of welfare. We could solve a lot of our problems thusly.
Brandon, Orwell was correct.
Democracy is pretty much ‘Mob Rule’ – it’s their nice way of saying screw you.
I love the way Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal spells democracy. He spells it Duh-Mock-racy cause he feels the same way as Brandon.
“Democracy” is the nickname of a printing press in the basement at Treasury. It must be preserved and protected.
Concerning Durov, Tucker Carlson on X: “Pavel Durov left Russia when the government tried to control his social media company, Telegram. But in the end, it wasn’t Putin who arrested him for allowing the public to exercise free speech. It was a western country, a Biden administration ally and enthusiastic NATO member, that locked him away. Pavel Durov sits in a French jail tonight, a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intel agencies. Darkness is descending fast on the formerly free world.”
Brandon, what do you make of the Democrats plan to pass an amendment to the strip the president of immunity for crimes committed in pursuance of his duties as well as putting term limits for Supreme Court justices?
I think that if Harris is President they won’t pursue it, and if Trump gets back in they won’t have the power to pursue it. Either way it’s just bluster. The real threat will come from Harris using martial law, or if Trump is in office, organized leftist mobs coordinated by NGOs going out and rioting until conservatives support martial law, which is what the globalists really want – For one side or the other to implement counter-constitutional policies in the name of a national emergency. Frankly, it will be up to US patriots to put the left and their gatekeepers down regardless of how the election goes. Not only that, but to hold Trump’s feet to the fire and make sure he doesn’t stray from his promises.
I confused on how Trump’s feet could be held to the fire? He threw all J6 peeps under the bus with his appt of Wray in the FBI. Sessions and Barr did absolutely nothing for upholding the constitution during there appointments. Will Ross and Steve Mnuchin are both deep state globalists that seem to be forgotten about. He remains in bed with Peter Theil and a new bud is Larry Fink. Trump believes in making Ai priority one, believes in Red Flag laws. HIs running mate Vance is also buds with Theil and other globalists and one worlders. I smell set up for making the left so bad with we’ll accept the lesser of two evils to push us into the one world banking, health mandates, worshiping of mother earth before it “burns” the ground under the Trumps Herbert Hoovers four years.
It’s a win-win for the globalists. Either Trump is the fall guy or Harris ushers it in. My fiction focuses on the latter, but the former could certainly happen as well.
They want to break the system — but not completely. We joke that they would gladly burn down the house in order to rule over the ashes, but globalists don’t want to rule over a Mad Max type world. They want themselves as overlords over the masses of serfs. It’s difficult to enjoy enormous wealth and political power in a WROL situation. We saw shades of this during COVID; it didn’t break the system but both rotted out some of the timbers and forced some people/groups to skyline themselves for future ‘reeducation.’
Trump is the one making promises to conservatives, Harris is not. Trump’s entire power base relies on making conservatives happy. Harris’ does not. If Trump is in office he will at least have to pretend he cares about conservative values, or he’ll lose all ability to function as president. Harris will immediately go to war with conservatives. No one said the choice is ideal, it’s not. But at least with Trump there is some accountability. With Harris there is just civil war and death.
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts had this to say what the future of America could look like under a Kamala Harris presidency.

The United States is a REPUBLIC; NOT a Democracy! The Dems have made a HABIT of “redefining” words. I’ve heard it said that Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what’s for dinner. The left WANTS “Democracy,” which IS mob rule. That’s why they want to abolish the Electoral College. That way, elections would ALWAYS be decided by the major population centers, which, no surprise, are Donk-run. A true Democracy, like Communism, is non-workable and doomed to failure…
Yeah, we all know this, but to be clear this article is not directed only at people from the US. Also, Democrats use the term “Democracy” as a sweeping description in which they include our Constitutional Republic.
I think a lot of the young impressionable minds don’t know the distinction. Using the proper terminology is very important.
Anyone reading my articles already knows the distinction. No reason to beat a dead horse in every article (I realize many Libertarians LOVE to beat dead horses but I don’t think they realize how annoyed the choir gets). If I was giving a talk to a college I might make the point.
After the arrest of Telegram CEO Durov in France, followed by the hasty departure of Rumble’s CEO from Europe, added to the liberticidal laws of the European Commission and many Western governments such as Canada, we’re witnessing a dramatic increase in global censorship like we’ve never seen before.
Remember Scott Ritter, Tulsi Gabbard, Julian Assange, Bradley “Chelsea” Manning, former CIA
analyst John Kiriakou and many, many others (including “whistleblowers”/journalists/independant reporters jailed, killed, dead or “missing in action”…).
…
P.S: Has “democracy” ever existed?!
Still concerning Telegram CEO Durov:
https://thedailyguardian.com/uae-freezes-20-billion-jet-deal-with-france-after-telegram-ceo-arrest/
Durov’s case seems more important that most of us think…
Leftists don’t have any real arguments, hence fake ones about conservatives being threats to democracy, lies about white supremacy, lies about climate change, lies about gender, lies about Covid, etc. They have to constantly make up SOMETHING to hide the reality that they’re just a fascist cult that believes in political enslavement and depopulation – with the UN/WEF psychopaths being the leaders of that cult. As cults do, they swallow every lie that comes from the psychopathic leaders hook, line, and sinker. They’re the most gullible people on the planet and it’s really dangerous for the rest of us.
