Let’s talk “equity” versus “equality.” Previously, The Passing Scene gave glancing overview to these words alluding to a false sense of equivalency between both terms. They do not hold the same meaning especially in contemporary parlance.

Society’s casual acceptance of word meanings clouds the legal ramifications of public policy. Blurring word meanings is an old tactic used to fuel social change.

Unless you think NJ Democrats suddenly had a Road to Damascus moment — and if you do I have some great oceanfront property to sell you in North Dakota — you can bet that the left-wing fraudsters have been hard at work stealing votes for the remarkably corrupt and fairly stupid Murphy.

The Trump administration oversaw a growing positive influence around the world of a resurgence of American strength after eight years of Obama's apologies for American success.  The Middle East was arriving, at long last, for the first time, at peace, with Israel and its Muslim neighbors signing peace accords and rogue states such as Iran greatly reduced, marginalized in their influence.  We were finally addressing the theft of intellectual property by the government of China, we were forging strong alliances in the Pacific area with then-free nations.  Suddenly with the arrival of a befuddled, spent old man, within a year we see a total melt-down.  China is now making aggressive moves against other Pacific nations, notably our long-time ally, Taiwan, a bastion of freedom, peace and reason in the region.  Our supply lines are disrupted with imminent food shortages.  Our kids are being indoctrinated in our public schools with racial hatred, our border, finally coming under control with the Trump administration, is now wide open and millions of unvetted foreign nationals are surging across and then being transported at our expense across the United States.  The man who is posing as the "President" of the United States reportedly got lost several times on his recent trip to Europe and ended up by having a bathroom accident in the Vatican in the presence of the Pope (or what now passes for a pope).  Yesterday he outdid himself.  Having corrupted the health of our military last month, he has now made it "official".  He has issued an edict that all employers with 100 or more employees will be fined $14,000 for each worker not vaccinated.  This simultaneously violates not only every single tenet of the Nuremberg Code, but most of the first ten amendments to our Constitution- the Bill of Rights.  Never mind that it means we have lost all of those rights and are no longer free.  It's to fight a bad cold.  It's to fight off the flu, don't ya know.  

We are in deep trouble here.  We are witnessing the immediate and on-going destruction of our country in real time and all at the hand of the most incompetent fool ever to hold office in America.  The time to take action is at hand.  We must not comply with this and we must push back very hard unless we are to sentence ourselves and all future generations to nothing less than slavery in perpetuity.

We are being manipulated.  We are being forced into hostile camps solely bvecause some of us do not believe that the so-called "covid vaccines" are either effective or safe.  We are being asked - no, ordered - to allow someone to inject us with highly toxic and unknown substances on faith (in Dr. Fauci!) alone, not on good, sound scientific data.  In fact, the data would have any reasonable person running the other way.  One would think that this decision would be a personal one, made perhaps in consultation with one's own physician, based on science and good outcomes in tests, but this is not the case.  We are rather shamed, bullied, pressured and threatened.  First it was bribes - lottery tickets, college tuition, tickets to sports events, free donuts, free liquor, free weed.  When those so easily brought to heel had gotten their injections, the push went to social pressure (do it for others, do it so you don't kill Granny), then it went to coercion and blackmail (do you want to keep your job?) and we shudder to think what the final phase will be.  It's time for us to set aside our beliefs regarding the safety and effectiveness of any "covid vaccine" and rather stand together for freedom and sovereignty over our own bodies, for without that, we are simply slaves.

The crisis in our schools is not of recent making - it has been simmering for a very long time.  Of late, however, parents are becoming belatedly engaged in the issues which are absolutely vital to our nation's future.  Instead of providing our kids with quality education and academic excellence - for which taxpayers pay at an absolutely astounding cost - our schools have become a sort of kiddie red-light district, where the skills they are taught include male "fashion" shows, lap dancing, exercises intended to confuse kids and accept "transgenderism" as normal - leaving our kids vulnerable to rape in the school restrooms.  They are used instead  to gin up activism and organize kids in a socialist agenda, to foment a new wave of racism.  In the meantime, kids are not learning our history, they are not studying math, they are not encouraged to employ critical thinking but rather to accept, rote, the pronouncements of increasingly biased teachers.  They are subjected to physical abuse and forced into masks.  They are manipulated to disrespect parents and family.  They are already being coerced into forging parents' signatures in order to get state-organized vaccinations.  They are encouraged to seek abortions without parents' consent or even knowledge.  Yet they are often not being taught how to read.  What is going on is just the culmination of decades of neglect by parents.  We need to have a complete overhaul not only of our schools, but of our priorities.  There should be no higher priority than our kids' characters and souls.  

The Mayo Clinic, long famed for its excellence in medical treatment and the qualifyt of its staff, has decided to abuse that staff in the interests of gian pharmaceutical companies.  I guess that was easy.  On the one hand they balance their reputation for quality medical care and on the other the bag of quarters on offer by the drug companies.  Slam dunk decision there.  Only it is one which will be profitable in the short term only.  What the drug companies and the medical enterprises fail to consider is that they rely more on their reputations than on anything else.  Mayo's has spent a fortune of grandiose buildings.  Rochester is always under construction.  But it is their reputation alone that brings in the patients, the customers.  They come for the best doctors, not the fanciest buildings.  When this is sacrificed for a perk from Pfizer or Merck or any other pharma giant, in time the excellence of the staff will inevitably decline.  The people will seek serious medical care somewhere else, where the doctors' training and experience are more important than their toadying subservience to "the man".  

We seem to be sleepwalking into the end of the republic.  Normally intelligent, reflective people have been taking the poison injections now being "mandated" in a Jonestown-esque devotion to "medical science" and government, we are gaslighted every hour of every day, told that black is white, up is down, good is bad, bad is good.  We are ordered to accept absurd mantras such as that you are "selfish" if you opt for self-preservation rather than having a poison injected into your body "for others".  Our school children, most of them masked, are being drilled to hate each other and themselves because of the color of skin they were born with.  Parents who object are "terrorists" while people who burn down public buildings and businesses and obstruct traffic are "activists".  If we protest any of this we are "insurrectionists".  Republicans are worse than Democrats - North Dakota's Senator Cramer thought it was a great thing that a thug in the Capitol Police shot and killed a veteran in cold blood.  It should be becoming apparent, amid these many crises that America is under attack, that no one is coming, deus ex machina, to save us and that we as individuals may well be the only defense America has left.  It is now up to us.  It's up to us to guard our children, to hold the line on our Constitutional rights, finally to defend America at the grass roots.

We are being lied to.  We are being gaslighted by every mainstream media outlet, by our government - by Biden, by Fauci.  And the lies are insulting.  We are being told to wear masks to protect the vaccinated.  We are told the vaccines are effective.  We are told even though they are effective we need booster shots.  We are told they are safe for kids when we are seeing huge numbers of teenages falling by the wayside with myocarditis.  Then we are told that myocarditis is curable.  It isn't.  We learn from experts that it causes permanent damge.  But in the face of this tragic damage (experts who actually do know tell us that people with this condition cannot expect to live more than about 11 years) and death, Biden comes on our TV screens, with his ghastly grimace and tells us we must inject children 5 years old and up with this poison.  It is relentless.  It has become clear to most of us otu here that if it resulted in 100% immediate deaths this would not change the "necessity" to inject 100% of us with this.  Gaslight.  We are told that the unvaccinated are a threat to the "rest" of the country.  Yet the hospitals are full of the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated.  Lies.  Gaslight.  It is time to stop this.  Some of us go along with these lies because we want so bad to believe in a "solution" to what we believe is an insurmountable threat.  Both premises are lies.  Covid is a relatively mild illness that causes very few deaths.  THe draconian solutions on offer do not provide protection, only more harm.  Gaslight and lies meet wishful thinking and self-delusion.

For a little background, this is an example of the chickens coming home to roost for the feminist clucking hens. We’ve long had a Title IX-based standard in the United States dictating “that members of the underrepresented gender [“sex” is the proper word, do note] be permitted to play on teams provided for the overrepresented gender or that separate teams in that sport be created for underrepresented gender,” as the Women’s Sports Foundation puts it.

From a practical standpoint, this initially meant that girls would be trying out for boys’ teams, not vice versa, as decades ago there were few if any athletic endeavors in which females were numerically dominant and male opportunity was lacking. But this has changed, and feminists have soured on “equality” now that it less often means “special advantage.”

None of these deaths or injuries we are hearing about following Covid-19 injections have anything to do with the "vaccines"!  Haven't you ever heard of "coincidence"?  Stuff just happens.  You can be walking down the street in perfect health, like Andrew Breitbart was, in excellent health and the prime of life and - hey, you can fall over dead from a heart attack.  It happens.  It has nothing to do with the fact that you have announced revelation of some damning evidence against powerful people the next day.  That is pure coincidence.  Or you could be a key witness in jail about to spill the beans about some luciferian activities of some important dignitaries and awaiting further court action you could suddenly just decide to hang yourself with a paper sheet.  Stuff does happen.  People do become depressed when they have sizzling evidence to unveil.  Waiting is hard.  That banana peel on the floor was just there - it was only a coincidence, wasn't it, that you stepped on it and face-planted in the linoleum?  And all those witnesses we might have heard give testimony in the JFK investigation, they, too, met with coincidences.  These things are mysteries.  There is no relationship.  Cause and effect are much overrated.  When we see a greater number of deaths from a given vaccine than from all other vaccines put together since 1990, that has to be a coincidence.  What else could it be?  It's anecdotal.  It's just a coincidence.  We should not live our lives ruled by reaction to coincidence like that.  If we put a hand on a hot stove it's just a coincidence that we get burned.  If we dive into an empy pool from 30 feet and crack our heads on the concrete below and die - gee, that is a coincidence.  Our society has basically eliminated any link in logic between cause and effect.  So don't be afraid.  Be "responsible".  Get your jab today.  Remember the jab you take today could have a coincidental relationship with a life-destroying injury or even death, but it's for the rest of us.  Do it for us.  

We saw this in Ireland in the 1840's.  We saw it in Russia - first the Kulaks then the Jews.  We saw it in Turkey - the Armenians.  We see it in China - with the Uighars.  The classic example, of course, is Hitler's Germany.  In America it was the shameful Tuskeegee experiments on black men.   Now we are seeing genocide in Canada.  Well, maybe we should not be so terribly surprised.  The Canadian government has never viewed the indigenous peoples as an asset, quite the opposite, despite a lot of rhetoric to the contrary - just look at their actions. through the centuries.  The government of Canada has now run amok, imposing a virtual dictatorship on the people of that miserable nation.  It is becoming Cuba only with a horrible climate. 

Canada has descended into a dark night of totalitarianism.  Christian pastors are being persecuted, businesses are being closed, people are suffering across the nation in the hideous blackness of a fascist society.  Now there is evidence not only of an effort to exterminate the indigenous population - always a problem for Canada's government - but of the fact that the "vaccines" are an instrument of extermination, two very important facts that the current actions of Trudeau's Canadian government illustrate in stark black and white.

Earlier this week, the House of Representatives approved a $480 billion raise to the nation’s debt ceiling. This resolution will allow the federal government to pay its debt until December. This move comes as Congress debates a large $3.5 trillion spending plan. How is America going to pay for this? In this article, economist Dr. Mark Hendrickson examines the spending plans and the proposed tax increases to pay for them. He writes, “It is plain that all the talk about making the rich pay their fair share is hollow rhetoric, cynically designed to win support from advocates of social justice while doing nothing to meaningfully reduce inequality.”

Even as the evidence becomes clear and irrefutable that the covid "vaccines" are ineffective and dangerous, our government - which is supposed to serve us at our will - is becoming a tyrannical power attempting - without authority to do so - to force people to take this dangerous and experimental injection!  What happened to America?  In the space of less than two years we have gone from the country that stood for freedom and human dignity to a hellhole that is threatening us and our children - threatening us with loss of our livelihoods, our professions - our homes and busineses.  We have been forced to behave like slaves for the past year-and-a-half while these power-mad dictators spend all their time concocting more schemes to subjugate us.  Instead of listening to them we should be listening to responsible people who actually know what they are talking about.  Is Jen Psaki an expert?  On anything?  Joe Biden?  And as for Anthony Fauci, his expertise is on monetizing a man-made virus to the max and that is just about all he cares about. 

Read on to find out what North Dakota's leaders are going to do about this.

Orwell’s “Animal Farm” delivers a chilling allegory while offering a fun read. Today it offers a metaphor for the authoritarianism exhibited by the surging American left enabled by academia, the legacy media, and big tech.

The moral of “Animal Farm”? Corruption defeats our highest aspirations. If you are down for the struggle, read “Animal Farm” to your kids and grandkids as an act of cultural resistance.

The U.S. Senate recently proposed legislation that would increase regulations for charitable giving through donor-advised funds. If it passes, what does this mean for donors? In this article, veteran fundraisers J.B. Horton and Jeffrey Trimbath examine the bill and argue that taking control away from donors would harm nonprofit organizations. They write that the new regulations will, “increase the cost and administrative burden on philanthropists and their advisors, ultimately reducing the total amount that goes to charity.”

As federal “change agents” seek public compliance using edicts and the White House exerts intimidation through executive actions, it isn’t working. The American people do not take kindly to being “ruled.” They didn’t in 1776, and they don’t in COVID times. Our observations confirm this.

The pandemic becomes useful to the government policy control freaks. As the saying goes, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” With the Biden administration the pandemic now stands officially endless. In the minds of our high government “leaders,” only through more control will the COVID scourge end. Lock down, close down, vaccinate, masks. The administration implies that “Zero COVID” remains the goal! Dream on. Statistically that will never happen. In any case, the feds seek a firm reign over a docile population with the hope of gaining even greater control.

Getting through the pandemic would mean going back to normal which is something Democrats, Progressives, liberals, and the media only pretend to wish for. Most of the time they silently cheer on COVID. More COVID means more mandates and there’s nothing liberals love more than a sound government mandate. Mandatory vaccines, masks, restrictions, and clos

We are learning - bit by bit - that we have been lied to in material ways.  In substantial, life-altering ways.  We have made decisions based on government and media lies.  Is anyone angry yet?  Is anyone out there ready to finally say no to this tyranny?  What more can we lose before we take a stand?  It began gradually.  First it was masks ("two weeks to flatten the curve") but when we acquiesced to this it only emboldened usurpers to go further.  The more ground we give the more they will take and the more will be demanded.  It must be stopped now.

Maybe they want to see who’ll blink first. But I’ve heard of Twitter suspending people’s accounts (e.g., Nicki Minaj) and banning users (e.g., President Trump), along with the games they routinely play, such as shadow-banning tweets. I’ve never heard, however, of someone being in Twitter limbo for more than six months while the Twitter twits “review” his appeal.

But that’s me.

Are consumers being scammed by woke capitalism? In this article, Dr. Richard Kocur reviews a new book by a former biotech CEO who argues that consumers are being given “the illusion that by engaging in normal acts of consumption we’re fulfilling our social obligations.” The book uses examples from major corporations: Coca-Cola, Google, Facebook, and many more.

We can anticipate that the federal government will soon be using private sector businesses to be their unpaid agents in forcing the “vaccines” on our people.  Businesses will be coerced by the threat of back-breaking, business-breaking fines.   (Would you consider $700,000 to be a major financial setback in your own business?)  We need to let this rogue federal government know that it cannot subvert our Constitution in this way.  We need to defend the Constitution at home, in the states, in the businesses.  North Dakota needs to support its businesses in this.  The federal government has absolutely no right to impose these injections on the free people of America.  We outlawed slavery in America in 1865.  We cannot force anything to be injected into anyone against his will.  To do so is to call that person a slave without sovereignty over his own body. 

We will be told by the vaccine pushers that we need to get with the program or it will cost us money.  We all like money.  But for what price will you sell your health?  Your future?  Your children’s health and future?  What price?  For what price will you sell your freedom?  For what price will you sell your birthright? 

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.   But it cannot survive treason from within.  An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.  But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."  --Cicero  

Among the brightest stars in the constellation of Western culture, Scottish poet Robert Burns, was never known to shrink from frank exposure of the hyporcisy and often the cruelty of "authority".  We might have said that he came from a "different era", a darker time when men generally trembled before kings and the local sheriff.  But perhaps not.  There is a reason why Burns is celebrated, generation after generation.  Some who salute him do it perfuctorily, as a social exercise.  Others, however, read him more deeply and find the basic, profound message he endeavored to convey.  Burns was disgusted by pretense, he mocked empty vessels in such works as "Holy Willie's Prayer" and many others.  When we read the words of Burns, plumb the depth of his observations of his fellow man, we are brought up short and taken aback by the fact that he died at the age of 37.  We liberally sprinkle our prose with his poetry without even being aware we are quoting him.  His thoughts expressed in "Man Was Made to Mourn" seem evergreen and particularly pertinent to the world of Covid - where our governments first permitted and even funded with our own money, the scourge of this virus, first made us sick with it, used it to force us into unemployment and want, caused us to become unwillingly dependent, wickedly withheld safe and proven and effective medications to relieve our suffering and prevent our death, viciously forced a poisonous injection upon us as a condition of our right to earn a living or continue our lives - even children's education - or exercise our right to enjoy community in studying a poet - and when they killed or maimed us with it told an execrable lie to cover their evil acts.   And the badge of humiliation and compliance with this program of evil is the face mask.   Perhaps this, from Burns, sums up the past two years quite succinctly:  "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn."  

I could not say it better.

“The Black Book of Communism” was published in France in 1997 on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution. Few scholarly books raise the ire and provoke controversy more than “The Black Book” did.

Why the controversy? Stephane Courtois, the book’s principal editor, asserts that, from a moral standpoint, Communism (kissing cousin of socialism), as a system of government, was no better than Nazism. Both were far better at killing people than they were at governing.

In addition to contributions by Editor Courtois, a scholar in his own right, five other French research scholars contributed to the volume. Significantly, all six scholars are former Communists. Each contributed to the chapters from their area of expertise covering every country having a significant Communist presence.

To miss this book is to miss one of the first and formidable attempts to document the criminal nature of Communism, the twentieth century’s most destructive ideology.

Terrorism works because it creates complications, frustrations, confusions, and dilemmas for the defender. Counter terrorism requires resources. By enhancing security, freedoms may be restricted or curtailed. This disrupts normal activities and free movement of the population. The public bears the inconvenience while the target government bears the blame.

Twentieth century experience points the way to successfully countering terrorism. Unfortunately, with the unexpected ditching of Afghanistan the lessons listed below were either forgotten or never learned. For this the US will pay dearly.

Last week, the nation honored and remembered the victims of 9/11. In this article that first appeared at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Dr. Paul Kengor recalls the grisly exchange between a failed terrorist and a U.S. attorney. Kengor highlights the contrast in how Islamist terrorists view human life versus how Americans view human life. He writes, “The contrast between how one side views human life versus the other could not have been clearer.”

“I had a heart attack….”

A bit more than a month ago I wrote about “My troubling COVID vaccine story experiences.” Aside from citing a friend who developed heart inflammation after taking a coronavirus genetic-therapy agent (GTA, a.k.a. a “vaccine”; more on this later), I mentioned that I’d had some unusual experiences: I encountered two men within a relatively short period of time, at the same recreational facility, who told me they’d had heart attacks — after taking SARS-CoV-2 GTAs.

Offers of vaccines are not working anymore.  Bribes of ice cream, lottery tickets, college tuition, weed and liquor aren't working anymore.  Threats and coercion are not working.  What's a bureaucrat bent on destroying your freedom to do??  The next step is apparently deception.  If people can't be persuaded or coerced, theymust simply be deceived.  So that seems to be the next tactic.  There is a frenzy to get everyone vaccinated.  It is not about the virus.  We know this because the vaccine admittedly does not have any effect on the spread of the virus, nor on one's susceptibility to become sick with it.  We also know it is creating sickness and death wherever it is administered.  As more of us are learning this, there is now the need to trick those who don't want it and don't intend to take it, into having it injected into us or fed to us.  Mental health seems to be at the center of the whole covid storm - unreasoning and blind fear of the virus, and a derangement among people in authority to force everyone to be vaccinated, whether they have natural immunity, whether they are unwilling to take the risks inherent in this injection or not.  If they can't force it one way they will attempt to find another.  We are at war.

Even as the evidence piles up about the huge risks to your health and the absolute absence of value in the so-called Covid "vaccines", the governments - federal, state, and in some areas, local, the military and very likely your employer, are all DEMANDING that you permit someone to inject a foreign substance into your bloodstream which is being seen to cause horrific "adverse events" and deaths.  It is now being pushed on children.  You have no obligation to forfeit your sovereignty over your body, allow someone else to make your heath decisions or in any way discriminate against you because you have chosen to guard yourself against what is arguably not only more dangerous than the virus, but more dangerous than all other vaccines combined, and more dangerous than many street drugs.  Just say a hard NO to this phony "vaccine" and the government robots who are attempting to take over on your life and dictate your future.

A forthcoming book by Bob Woodward has some politicians and journalists calling the actions of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley treason. In this article, Dr. Earl Tilford examines the situation and allegations. Tilford lays out a personal example of what happened the night President Richard Nixon resigned. He writes, “There were concerns that President Nixon, the only person authorized to launch a nuclear strike, might become “unhinged” due to his pending resignation. Unhinged enough to do the unthinkable.”

We are being threatened if we don't play a dangerous game.  Our health is at stake here and our very lives.  The dice are loaded.  You don't stand a chance if you decide to play.
