The first part of the below Thomas Sowell quote really struck me when going through all the phases of covid mass psychosis and the past few years.

The first part of the below Thomas Sowell quote really struck me when going through all the phases of covid mass psychosis and the past few years. If we go back toward the beginning phases, it was used to ensure a popular president was not re-elected. Mail in voting, unable to go into your town hall, difficult to get answers, etc. What hit me hard personally was that I had never been eternally vigilant. I worked long hours, played a lot of sports and was always active in anything except what the government was doing. Why would I be eternally vigilant? I now clearly see why. Academia, elites, government, etc were able to implement a system over decades with little or no resistance because in general we were not being eternally vigilant. I second the end of this article: "Well, we are not going to let them “just move on” - they will pay for what they did." We must be eternally vigilant!
Thomas Sowell from dismantling America: "If eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, incessant distractions are the way that politicians take away our freedoms, in order to enhance their own power and longevity in office."
Sowell has been my mentor since I saw him in the 1980's on Firing Line with Bill Buckley. The Vision of the anointed is my bible for understanding American and the West in general.

Puts Ukraine in the proper light, doesn’t it? Hey look over here and forget about what we did to you for 2 years.
