Tyranny Never Simply “Moves On”
In 2020 tyranny crept over the world like Carl Sandburg's fog, “on little cat feet.”
In 2020 tyranny crept over the world like Carl Sandburg's fog, “on little cat feet.” Cloaked in the guise of necessity, it sat “on silent haunches,” and few noticed it lurking. Unfortunately, unlike a natural fog or a gentle cat, tyranny never simply “moves on.”
By portraying the natural human body as a hazardous carrier of pathogens, despots entrapped good minds in a toxic smog of fearful thoughts and absurd responses. Many have thus been persuaded to trample upon immutable principles long proven to protect the well-being of individuals and societies, no matter the crisis. According to poisoned minds, our magnificent Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States, comprises a manifesto for Domestic Terrorists.
January 6, 2021, when hundreds of thousands of good people assembled in Washington, D.C. in lawful protest, some were lured into a trap. While only a few of thousands behaved badly once ensnared, at least 730 were caught in cruel and vindictive dragnets. By this means, in our “land of the free,” decent and good people have become political prisoners, some physically held in horrific conditions for over a year now.
In Canada, beginning in late January 2022, a large convoy of truck drivers assembled in the capital, Ottawa, to protest their government's violations of inalienable human rights. While it is true the large protest caused locals inconvenience and made a lot of noise, the organizers worked with police to ensure vehicles could traverse the city. Truckers and friends helped to feed the homeless, to clean sidewalks and memorials of accumulated ice and snow, and to pick up trash. They also patronized local businesses and treated Ottawa's police with care and respect.
The freedom convoy members further expressed love by feeding fellow citizens who flocked to Ottawa to join them for an afternoon or evening, by holding dance parties, and by sponsoring bouncy castles for the kids. Many of Ottawa's locals applauded and enjoyed the truckers' presence. Notably crime rates fell. Their courage, compassion, and creativity brought in millions of dollars in donations and inspired freedom convoys around the world. In the interest of upholding inalienable human rights for all citizens, the truckers resolved to stay in Ottawa until Canada's vaccine mandates and digital passport systems were withdrawn. Sadly, even these brave, cheerful, and hardy souls could not escape the heavy smog of tyranny.
Thus, on orders by Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, hoards of police from other regions descended upon Ottawa. And despite protesters' chants of love and pleas for harmony, Trudeau's agents corralled, crushed, kneed, seized, shot, sprayed, and stomped this sweet and tender body of humanity into submission. Some cheered because “order” had been restored, never asking themselves the simple question: Whose order?
The Peoples' Convoy, another peaceful protest, is now moving across the US from west to east and will be leaving Hagerstown, Maryland, Saturday, March 5. Contrary to reports from legacy media, they will not be entering DC proper.

“The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation. While the conditions underlying the heightened threat landscape have not significantly changed over the last year, the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: (1) the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions; (2) continued calls for violence directed at U.S. critical infrastructure; soft targets and mass gatherings; faith-based institutions, such as churches, synagogues, and mosques; institutions of higher education; racial and religious minorities; government facilities and personnel, including law enforcement and the military; the media; and perceived ideological opponents; and (3) calls by foreign terrorist organizations for attacks on the United States based on recent events.” [Author's Note: Emphasis added; Who decides what are false or misleading narratives? Who decides what sows discord? Who decides what undermines public trust? This is exceedingly dangerous language. Free speech, especially speech critical of those in power, is essential to preventing abuses.]
