This Is Not How To Gain Acceptance of Vaccines

Bill Collier July 16, 2021

For the sake of argument, let’s stipulate that the vaccine against this pandemic is perfectly fine. We may ignore the fact Israel is now issuing a third vaccine as the old one isn’t stopping the new varient. We can also ignore the whole fear of new varients that may render the first vaccine, which many reported gave miserable symptoms after injection of the second dose, useless. Also ignore the lack of longevity research possible for any new vaccine.

The authoritarian and arrogant way the Biden administration is handling this, almost as if it is a wedge issue designed to make Republicans look bad, has backfired. Far from being browbeat into submission, Americans are responding with suspicion and resistance.

The basic idea is, “if this is so good, why do you have to try to shame and bully me to do it?” What is more, while the vaccine is practically being forced on everyone, the accountability for negative side effects or long-term problems is gone. Nobody, from manufacturers to the government, accepts any responsibility if taking this proves, in the long-term, causes harm. And nobody can guarantee there won’t be any long-term negative effects.

The issue isn’t that the vaccine is available, the issue is threefold: people don’t like being bullied, people aren’t sure if this is useful against new varients or of its long-term effects, and nobody is on the hook if it doesn’t work or has ill effects.

The issues with the vaccine tend to be common with any new vaccine. And the need for vaccines means that new vaccines must be rolled out sooner rather than later. But it also means that every new vaccine has unresolved questions as to its efficacy or possible ill effects. The difference is in the fact nobody is willing to take responsibility if this doesn’t work or causes harm and yet you are being bullied and shamed and your concerns are being ridiculed in a partisan and over-the-top manner.

By showing such disrespect and condescension and using rabid partisan attack language against people who have concerns, while shifting 100% of the risk on the person being bullied into getting the shot, you make it harder, rather than easier, to say yes.

This seems to be the only default now for Democrats: bully, shame, and defame while belittling and ignoring legitimate debate and questions and suppressing discourse and scientific exploration outside their agenda of preconceptions. If the vaccine is going to help, which also requires accountability for manufacturers and government if they get this wrong, then the present hubris shown by proponents needs to end now.

Take away all the rabid language and bullying and add accountability if this doesn’t work, and our rate of vaccination would be much higher.

The old line “the beatings will stop when morale improves” is funny, but not when it’s the entire establishment beating down on anyone who has a concern, anyone who has questions, anyone who wants someone to take responsibility for this if it fails, and exploration of ongoing science as to alternatives.

Why Won’t Republicans Name and Confront Woke Communism?

Bill Collier July 16, 2021

Whether the term is woke communism or progressive authoritarianism, Republican leaders and top officials have consistently watered-down their talking points while every day Democrats lambast Republicans as Nazis, racists, phobes, and the like without even attempting any sense of honesty or civility.

Let’s stick with woke communists as our term. It’s a modern term, not coined by us per se, that describes what we also refer to as “neocomms”, new communists who have evolved into a Party-controlled duopoly of woke corporations with near monopoly power and the state. Unlike the Stalin model, these woke communists, woke because their use of racist and gender-bending “wokeness” as their cudgel, don’t want to destroy the corporations, they choose to harness them. And unlike the Chinese communists who use the state to control the corporations, the Democrats seem to prefer to have their totalitarian party control both the corporations and the state separately, at least for now.

The Republicans are having none of this. They know that if they lay this legitimate charge on their opponents, the DNC Press will viciously attack them with smears and slanders meant to destroy, or cancel, them from life. It’s an internal banishment that leaves you a broke pariah.

But without the courage to stand up now, when some legal protections for speech remain, these same Republicans are courting disaster as the march away from a Bill of Rights society toward authoritarianism continues. Their fecklessness and collaboration in the face of blatant authoritarianism and gross violence against the Bill of Rights by this totalitarian party becomes more and more inexcusable.

When will Republicans name and confront woke communism and expose the fact the Democratic Party has become wholly captured by this modern manifestation of totalitarianism?

The reaons run from fear to just wanting the trappings of office without the responsibility or the risk, to perhaps even having sympathy at least for the corporate side of the woke communist duopoly. The woke communist war on freedom is well documented and their rhetoric against all things decent and noble is also well known.

The ability of Republicans to stand up to, name, and confront woke communism for what it is and who it is should become a litmus test in every primary. If you won’t confront the woke communists, then you shouldn’t be in office.

New Alliance Tackles Pandemic In Face of Political Headwinds

Bill Collier July 16, 2021

The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a group of highly published, world-renowned critical care physicians and scholars are striving to find ways to effectively mitigate the effects of Covid-19 through early treatments. Their website is here- FLCC

The FLCCC Alliance – with the academic support of allied physicians from around the world – works to research and develop lifesaving protocols for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in all stages of illness. Their MATH+ Hospital Treatment Protocol, introduced in March 2020, has saved thousands of patients who were critically ill with COVID-19. Now, the FLCCC’s new I-Mask+ Prophylaxis and Early At-Home Outpatient Treatment Protocol with Ivermectin has been released – and is a potential solution to the global pandemic.

Political headwinds are the only real hindrance to further advancing the treatment options for patients and their efforts are meant to publicize research and findings while documentation successful treatments.

The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance was initially formed as a working group under “emergency” conditions of the early COVID-19 pandemic in response to multiple early reports of COVID patients with an inexplicably high need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and an excessive mortality associated with the prevailing “supportive care only” recommendations disseminated by the majority of national and international health care organizations.

Tioga County PA Commissioners Defy Voters, State Senate Over Audit

Bill Collier July 14, 2021

Bill Collier- Tiny, in population, Tioga County PA, where, coincidentally, The Freedomist is based, is at the center of efforts to audit Pennsylvania’s 2020 election results, which, it is alleged, are suspect. Every court so far has denied this, but it is still alleged an audit is needed.

The amazing thing about Roger Bunn, Mark Hamilton, and Erick Coolidge is that their county, the county where the Publisher of the Freedomist (myself) lives, 74.7% voted for Trump and one can gather well over 50% of all voters likely want an audit.

These three Commissioners are an interesting phenomenon where even the most conservative areas surrender their line offices to people who lack the vigor and passion of their own voters. What is more fascinating is that these usually cardboard cutouts for local officials who make no waves usually also lean in the opposite direction of their voters. But, because local politics are usually more about potholes than principles, they never show their true nature or beliefs.

So, while a County of over 40,000 may by as much as 74.7% demand an audit, the Republicans they elected to lead them, for so long and without any real challenge, have proven to not really be Republicans at all.

Having myself watched these men since the first time I came to the County in 2009, I am not even slightly surprised that these three all agreed to disagree with almost every single person who ever voted for them in order to avoid rocking the boat. They’re not bad guys, really, they just got elected by sleepy voters who didn’t vett the people who would lead their County, assuming that of they were Republicans that was good enough.

Again, let’s be clear, whatever one feels about their decision, they have their reasons no doubt, the issue is that we all keep letting people into office who don’t, when push comes to shove, reflect our beliefs and values and nor are they informed by them.

Cuban-Americans Demand US Action, Democrats Exposed As Pro Communist

Bill Collier July 14, 2021

Cuban-American protestors shut down the Palmetto Expressway near Miami amid demands the US end comminism in Cuba shouting, “Estados Unidos, acaba el comunismo!”

The Cuban connunity in Florida numbers 1.53 million and plays a significant role in swaying elections at the state level, including presidential races. The community are generally unhappy with the tepid response from the current US President who is barely giving lip service to the Cuban protestors and who is doing nothing as the Cuban regime clamps down on dissent.

Despite Biden’s open-door policy for migrants to the US from Central America and Mexico, migrants known for supporting Democrats and socialism according to some, the New York Post reported his DHS has issued warnings to Cubans and Haitians not to come to the US.

According to The Post:

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had a stern warning Tuesday for Cubans and Haitians thinking of escaping the ongoing unrest in both countries by sailing to the US: Don’t even think about it.

“The time is never right to attempt migration by sea,” Mayorkas said during a news conference. “To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking. Allow me to be clear: If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States.”

In other words, “if your community isn’t reliably supportive of Democrats, you aren’t welcome in America.”

Famed chess champion Garry Kasparov, generally a supporter of Democrats and the current President, was not amused with the Administration’s response.

“Bad news for the Biden admin when I agree with Rubio & Cruz!” he posted on Twitter. “The people of Cuba deserve vocal support from a US government that isn’t worried about offending its Socialist members by speaking for freedom.”

The Democrats’ collective penchant toward totalitarianism, witness their overblown histrionics about the January 6th riots at the Capitol, which they use to label all legitimate dissent as sedition, is welle established. Their brand of woke communism through a cancel America crusade is still not waking Americans up to this quisling threat to their very national existence as a free country.

At the same time, Florida’s governor DeSantis is vocal in supporting the Cuban community but the recent law passed to make it a felony to shut down roadways and to not prosecute drivers who push through crowds rather than be surrounded and attacked, could be used against these protestors. No arrests were reported and no incidents took place. But the irony this kneejerk law in response to BLM riots may be used against a group favored by the governor wasn’t lost on anyone.

The Biden response to the Cuban protests exposes a bedeviling problem for Democrats in Florida and among Hispanics, who generally oppose actual forms of communism, including modern woke communism, and the divisive social issues/cancel culture extremism that controls that Party.

According to an opinion piece in the Hill, “Biden won Miami-Dade County by just 7 percent, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 30 percent margin in 2016, a decline that put Florida’s electoral votes well out of reach. Democrats also lost two House seats that they thought were safe. Trump won more than 60 percent of the Cuban American vote – the most since Bush in 2000.”

Biden’s current inaction on Cuba may be an admission that the Democrats have essentially given up on Florida for the foreseeable future. If Democrats don’t think this seals their brand as pro-communist, then someone needs to wake them from their wokeness and show them reality.

While it isn’t America’s job or responsibility to free the Cuban people, it is within our rights and interests to more robust support them and to demand the Cuban regime refrain from further abuses or face real action, including potentially arming the dissenters.

Is The Post Office Waging An Online War On The Right?

Bill Collier July 13, 2021

The political weaponization of every institution they can get their hands on is the playbook of the woke communist core who run the Democratic Party and it appears, according to this report in REASON, that the woke communists have captured the United States Post Office for their political ends.

The report details an ongoing use clones, fake people posing as real people, hacking, and facial recognition software to focus on “the right”, especially on platforms they might frequent to both monitor and disrupt their activities. Literally, if this report is true, the Post Office is acting as a paramilitary cadre to the Democratic Party to disrupt their political foes.

It seems a sensational claim and we would caution more evidence and investigation is required, certainly by Republicans who are the alleged target of this rogue effort, if indeed all this is accurate reporting.

If indeed it turns out the Post Office, a private entity chartered by the government, is acting as an agent of the Democratic Party to not only spy on Americans but to target and disrupt opponents of the Democratic Party, then this would be sedition and rebellion against these United States by virtue of the gross assault upon the Bill of Rights liberties that are being violated.

Reputationally, the Post Office, having allegedly aligned itself with only Democrats as their special institution, would lose massively and if or when Republicans gained power again serious efforts to dismantle such a rogue entity would likely be considered.

The Post Office has some explaining to do and if anyone was using its resources to violate the rights of any American, those people should be tried and, of found guilty, sent to jail for treason.

South Africa Is Not Collapsing Despite Violent Looting In Two Provinces

Bill Collier July 13, 2021

In a rambling speech, President Ramaphosa sought to calm the situation as looters raged throughout numerous locales in an apparent protest against the jailing of fomer President Zuma. While the looting is a serious problem, causing the call-out of the Army and a meeting of all political party heads to develop a unified repsonse, the sensational headlines that claim South Africa is collapsing are inaccurate.

South Africa is in crisis, and all such crises CAN lead to an unraveling, but the forces of civil unity appear to have the upper hand overall, at least for now. Troops have been called out in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, with the latter being Zuma’s homeland. But the looters can hardly be said to be legitimately “protesting” and many doubt this is more than an opportunistic event than an actual public outpouring of support for the former President.

Perhaps real blame lies with Economic Freedom Fighters Party head Julius Malema, a fireband radical neocommunist agitator who has threatened genocide against whites and the rich. Malema’s party has promised to “join” the looters if the Army was called out of barracks. The EFF have been working hard to destabilize South Africa and conduct their own revolution which would plunge the country into race war, not just whites against blacks, but all the racial identifies with one another, and the rich against the poor.

While it is too soon to see if the looters themselves were organized, as it is alleged, by payments from EFF backers to key agitators, it is certainly something that authorities will have to investigate.

Former President Jacob Zuma on 29 June 2021 became the first South African president since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 to receive a prison sentence. South Africa’s Constitutional Court issued a 15-month sentence for contempt of court after Zuma defied an earlier court order to return and testify before the Zondo Commission.

On 7 July 2021, Zuma handed himself over to the police and was admitted to the Estcourt Correctional Centre in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Zuma still has his backers, and some say this current dustup is really an internal power srruggle, but the former President was widely believed to be corrupt during his almost 9 years as President, from 2009 to 2018.

President Ramaphosa’s speech, in which he urged calm, was widely panned but all parties save the EFF agreed to back his present measures and to do their part to calm their supporters. But with the army deployed, the looting continued.

KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala told the press on Tuesday morning, “Yesterday’s events brought a lot of sadness. The number of people who have died in KwaZulu-Natal alone stands at 26. Many of them died from being trampled on during a stampede while people were looting items.”

The total death toll stands at 32.

The looting and violence are mostly limited to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

“What we are witnessing now are opportunistic acts of criminality, with groups of people instigating chaos merely as a cover for looting and theft,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a late-evening address on Monday.

Looting is bad, and it could get worse, it may be insitgated by the EFF and/or the Zuma wing of the ANC, as he challenges his sentencing, but South Africa isn’t “collapsing” and most of its people are standing against the madness.

Democrats Apparently Sad To See Cuban Communism Under Threat

Bill Collier July 12, 2021

OPINION BY BILL COLLIER- Fox News reports a widely known fact: when it comes to the protests in Cuba, Democrats aren’t silent just because they don’t know what to say. Their brand of woke communism may differ from Cuba’s state communism, but the desire Fidel Castro and his mafia-like Party had for total monopoly power seems to have captured the very soul of the Democratic Party, a party base of totalitarian loons whose respect for this country, and the Bill of Rights especially, is extremely low.

Sanders whitewashed the “authoritarianism” he pretended to oppose, according to this quote:

“We’re very very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” Sanders explained. “You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”

The old “Mussolini made the trains run on time” bit.

But it wasn’t just Sanders who Fox got no statement from on Cuba, see this:

Fox News also reached out to the White House for comment. Press Secretary Jen Psaki referred Fox News to the National Security Council, which then referred to Psaki’s comments on Cuba during an interview with MSNBC. Psaki addressed the lack of fundamental resources in Cuba during that interview.

Fox News has also reached out to State Department spokesman Ned Price but has not heard back.

Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, took to Twitter to say the “U.S. supports freedom of expression and assembly across Cuba, and would strongly condemn any violence or targeting of peaceful protesters who are exercising their universal rights.”

All in all, Democrats likely hope the Cuban regime shuts this down quick before people in this country get the “wrong” idea that any form of communism, even the woke communist parternship between corporate monopolies and the state all under the aegis of the Democratic Party, are bad.

But while Democrats in US cities riot, loot, burn, and murder their way into power, Democrats also condemn any “violence” by protestors against a brutal, violent regime.

https://twitter.com/JakeSullivan46/status/1414406415955996672?s=19

That’s it. “We are OK with some protesting, but let’s not get too rowdy as the police beat and brutalize you!”

Totalitarianism is the first insctinct and true love of the Democratic Party.

Meanwhile, Senator Rubio ripped Biden in a Washington Times report for not being a strong advocate for freedom, perhaps because he doesn’t realize that for Biden et al, the fall of the Cuban regime might put the spotlight on their own woke communism.

“The people of #Cuba bravely take to the streets against 62 years of socialist tyranny. 12 hours later President @joebiden @POTUS has yet to say a word about it,” Rubio wrote.

The President isn’t concerned about social justice or equity or any of the buzzwords his handlers tell him to use. He represents a narrow interest, a party base, who see in Castro, Mao, and Stalin role models to follow, not dictatorships that should be overthrown.

Back in March, the woke communist Party (Democrats) urged President Biden to back a return to the rapprochement with Cuba under Castro fanboy, President Obama. The Democrats want for Cuba what they wanted for China, favorable trade deals that may hurt the US but enrich the communist regime. Democrats are by and large woke communists and internationalists who want a “global regimen” for “climate change” and other bogeymen.

Their interests, and the reason why they seek to deconstruct US History through extreme and disproportionate exaggeration of our flaws and mistakes, is precisely because they envision a world under a global structure managed by woke communist types in corporations and governments working together.

The bottom line is, the Democratic Party does not want the Cuban regime to fall.

Democrats Side With….Literally THAT Guy?

Bill Collier July 12, 2021

Democrat Representative Mary Miller of Illinois actually claimed that Hitler was right about one thing: the need to indoctrinate children and turn them away from their own parents. This on the heels of a San Francisco gay men’s choir singing they are coming for your children and promising to use schools to convert them.

Tim Pool discussed this here:

We’ve gone from “honor thy father and mother”, to brainwashing children to defy and despise their parents. This is literally being taught by public teachers in public schools, thanks to the woke communists at the NEA, and the end goal is exactly what Hitler created, a totalitarian dictatorship.

What else do the Democrats want to emulate in the Nazis to turn this country into a totalitarian hellscape, which is their goal? Public schools in America have become the enemy to children, to parents, and to freedom in general and most all public teachers are either afraid and complicit or actively engaged in this criminal behavior.

It is criminal, as in a crime against humanity, what the public schools wre doing. It’s not just critical race theory, it is woke communism being crammed down your children’s throats and gender-bending over-sexualized perversion all being inculcated into your children’s hearts and mind and turning them into damaged human beings. Public schools are INSPIRED by the brutal indoctrination of the Nazis in German schools, that’s a fact we must wake up to.

Cuba On Brink?

Bill Collier July 11, 2021

SCREENHSOT of video, source: https://twitter.com/GiancarloSopo/status/1414330530200440836?s=19

As Cubans take to the streets, waving American flags and chanting “Freedom!”, the chances of this becoming a real revolution against the Communist revolution are growing.

Confidential sources revealed to the Freedomist, “Cuban generals are leaving the island. Something’s going on, the protests are just the tip of the iceberg. Cubans are about to rise.” This source is in Cuba.

Then there’s this from Congressman Kevin McCarthy:

https://twitter.com/GOPLeader/status/1414346635044442112?s=19

A Cuban uprising to oust the communist regime may be long overdue, but are the US and Latin America ready for the fallout?

Cuba’s government had locked down the internet and are controlling movement within Havana in what may be a desperate attempt to nip this in the bud. The protests began as a response to slow distribution of Covid-19 vaccines but have begun to demand freedom from the dictatorship.

This is being described as “an historic day”…

https://twitter.com/HouseForeignGOP/status/1414360773950902274?s=19

Cubans are out en mass and now we get a possible scenario where the generals are leaving in haste. This may or may not be the end of the regime, but it will be the beginning of the end, we predict.

The protests occured in least 25 locations, people shouting “down with the dictatorship” and “freedom”, as police randomly arrested some protestors and grappled with others, failing to make an arrest. The wide-spread nature of the protests and the fact so many people are coming out is described by our source as “unsettling.”

Multiple posts on Twitter from many cities show large crowds in the thousands. But while there are protestors, the Cuban regime does also have its strong supporters, true believers, however mostly older people and party members who enjoy more benefits. Younger people, who have begun to see the greater world through the internet, are hungry for a better life and more opportunities, which a top-down, planned economy run by bureaucrats isn’t able to sustain.

While it is true, and cannot be dismissed, that the embargo of Cuba by the US has certainly curtailed economic growth, islanders may see the radical destabilizing policies of the regime, which seeks to export its authoritarianism abroad, as contributing to its pariah status. The Cuban economic morass cannot be mostly attributed to the effects of the embargo.

Not surprisingly, the UN, including 184 nations, called on the US to lift the embargo on the island nation and sided with the regime in blaming the embargo on the lack of response to Covid-19. But the citizenry aren’t having it and know where to lay the blame, something the rather totalitarian favoring UN cannot possibly grasp. If one ever needed proof most of the countries in this world side with dictatorships, this should be it.

The official UN news account did add this:

Meanwhile, Political Coordinator for the US Mission, Rodney Hunter, said during the vote that sanctions are “one set of tools in Washington’s broader effort toward Cuba to advance democracy, promote respect for human rights, and help the Cuban people exercise fundamental freedoms”.

He underscored that despite the blockade, the US recognizes “the challenges of the Cuban people” and therefore, the US was “a significant supplier of humanitarian goods to the Cuban people and one of Cuba’s principal trading partners”.

“Every year we authorize billions of dollars’ worth of exports to Cuba, including food and other agricultural commodities, medicines, medical devices, telecommunications equipment, other goods, and other items to support the Cuban people. Advancing democracy and human rights remain at the core of our policy efforts”, he said.

The US has not stifled the importation of medical supplies but the blockade is meant to stifle the economic flexing of a regime who, it is clear, would use that power to destabilize its neighbors. That being said, the blockade hasn’t worked and has mostly just made it hard on the people and easier for a corrupt regime to blame it on the regime’s own failed economic policies.

The only difference now is, many Cubans have had enough and are no longer willing to listen to the excuses which 184 countries at the behest of the corrupt UN are willing to swallow.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed the U.S. for stoking the anger, according to the Washington Post.

“The order to fight has been given – into the street, revolutionaries!” he said in an address, according to the BBC.

So as Democrats demand “peaceful” behavior on the part of protestors, they have nothing to say about this invective by the regime.
