The Cows Are Gone And The Train Has Left The Station.

For those who may have been paying attention the last few months, the purge of liberal opposition began long before last week's Capitol siege. And from what I have seen, they have been waiting for other things to happen in their favor ever since.  


Those favorable events began with the election.  Those favorable events were furthered last week with the loss of both Georgia senate seats to the democrats. 


However, the "coup de gras" for the left?


Has been the siege at the US Capitol last Wednesday. Regardless of what you may think or believe, breeching the Capitol and roaming the halls and offices? Accomplished nothing other than to play into the hands of the democrats and the media.  


We can debate that nothing approaching the violence seen across the nation, including in Washington last year, occurred at the Capitol last Wednesday? But those realities are irrelevant to the democrats and their sycophant media.  The truth is what they say it is? Because they and their media get to say what the truth is. 


The  president in my opinion, played into their hands, by hyping the January 6th march as something that was going to be wild.  And we have all seen the results since then. 


They are not only coming after him, but also anyone who supported him. 


As it stands, the second part of their purge began last Friday, when they began their coordinated attack against parler. And it has been continued across a variety of other issues, and individuals since then. 


In less than 48 hours, they succeeded in not only de-platforming parler, but they also achieved getting their sponsors and even their lawyers to drop them.  


Add to that, the PGA pulling out of the Trump Bedminister PGA Nationals next year, and Deutchbank and other banks, announcing they are dropping their business associations with Trump enterprises, and Donald Trump across the board. 


Add to that, numerous other Americans, who have come under similar attacks through their businesses and employers since

Last Wednesday. 


Reports of individuals and their business associates and banks and others, who have now withdrawn from them. Add to that, individuals who are being fired, for having simply attended the march last Wednesday in Washington. 


And that will continue. The left is now pressing their advantage with corporations, to fast track their political cancel culture.  And that will continue.  


Add to that an army of sycophants in media and elsewhere, who are now fully engaged in the search to identify anyone who can be vilified and marginalized, humiliated and personally destroyed for having been at the march, or for having supported the president. 


Those who have followed my commentaries over the last several years, may now realize and understand the correlations and parallels I have been attempting to bring to their attention.  For a long time. 


Not the least of which, are Saul Alinski's "rules for radicals."  I am copying them below, as a refresher.   


Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals…


Here is the complete list from Alinski's rules for radicals:

<<<<<<______>>>>>>


RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”


Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)


RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”


It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)


RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”


Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)


RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”


If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)


RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”


There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)


RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”


They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)


RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”


Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)


RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”


Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)


RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”


Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)


RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”


Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)


RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”


Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)


RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”


Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

<<<<<<<________>>>>>>


Now ask yourself? Do any of those methodologies councide with what you have witnessed over the past week?  And before? I believe they do, as I believe the attacks on individuals and our basic freedoms will continue and worsen. Because the above? Is the game plan. 


Add to that something else that I have been reminding friends and others of for the last several years. 


The prescient warnings of Martin Neumoller. The German pastor who survived the Nazi Holocaust. His reflections?


"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist."


"Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist."


"Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew."


"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."


I have noticed over the last couple of days? That more and more people are discovering those haunting words and posting and sharing them. And they should. Because that is truly the present reality. 


America has headed into a dark tunnel and the sheeple are reacting predictably. They can now see the visions of what has been warned, materializing before their eyes.  It terrifies them. It goes against everything they have spent their lives believing in. Yet it is happening.  


So ask yourself? What do you intend to do. Are you going to withdraw from the parapets of your freedoms. Are you going to be denied thr ability to speak and associate.  Are you going to go along to get along. Or are you simply going to melt into the crowd of lemmings?  Begging to just be left alone?


Make no mistake folks, the game afoot now is the leftist version of pin the tail on the donkey. Only in their version of the game?  Their goals and intents are to single out and vilify as many individuals as they can. Publicly ridiculing them and visiting upon them the same punishments as their mentor Alinski provided to them. The same as they are doing to the president and conservatives right now.   


Identify the target, isolate the target, marginalize the target, polarize the target? Then destroy the target.  That is precisely the tactic being used against conservatives in America right now. And it will continue. As long as we stand mute and do nothing. 


I recommended alternative social media sites months ago.  Before I took my hiatus from FB. I recommended parler and mewe.  And even as I did, I realized that 99% of those on FB would refuse to leave FB.  Just as FB also knew would happen. 


Well now? It may be days or weeks before the choice will be made for you.  Orwellian thought speak is now a reality in America and you will either abide or you will become another victim of Alinski's 12th rule.  


Make your own choices, or simply wait for them to be made fore you. 


The barn doors are open and the cows have left. And the train of reality has already left the station. 


I fully expect that this group will be targeted, along with others in the near future.  So as pastor Dana Coverstone has warned?  Brace yourself.
