Biden's presidency will be a catalyst for secession... and perhaps civil war

 From Bob Livingston's Personal Liberty author Brandon Smith:

Over the past few months, I have written a handful of articles that discussed what would probably happen if Joe Biden actually entered the White House and launched his administration. My initial belief was that Trump would refuse to concede and that this would be a trigger for national chaos, but I have also noted that Biden's entry is almost just as disruptive, as it sends a signal to the political left that it is "open season" on conservatives.

Of course, conservatives are not going to simply sit still and be purged and abused, they are going to strike back, and this sets the stage for a number of events and outcomes, some of which are completely unpredictable, even for establishment globalists.

First, we need to address how Biden and the globalists are going to create chaos so that they can then demand their own brand of "order."

In an article I published in October, I outlined why the ongoing economic crisis will accelerate in the wake of a Biden takeover. More specifically, I predicted that one of Biden's very first actions will be to implement a federal COVID lockdown, similar to the Level 4 lockdowns implemented in Europe and Australia. Such a lockdown, if Americans submit, would mean an even larger spike in unemployment, a loss of hundreds of thousands of small businesses as well as a huge loss in tax revenues for some states (mostly blue states).

Another scenario is that Biden leaves the lockdowns in the hands of states, but pursues a nationwide program for medical passports. The passport, of course, would require people to take the vaccine and accept contact tracing apps on their phones before they can receive one. At least 30 percent of Americans have said in polling that they will refuse the vaccines outright. Another 60 percent have said they are wary of the vaccines and need proof of their effectiveness. So, the medical passports will lead to millions of people being denied participation in the economy and collapse happens anyway.

In other words, the elites are going to try to hold the economy hostage while telling the public that if we don't accept medical tyranny it will be our fault if the system breaks down.

The economic crisis, however, started long before the pandemic, long before Biden and long before Trump. It has been building since the credit crash of 2008, and in the 12 years since, the Federal Reserve and other central banks have been pumping out trillions in stimulus while encouraging non-stop debt accumulation. Right before the beginning of the pandemic, the U.S. was suffering from the highest corporate debt in history, the highest consumer debt in history as well as the highest national debt in history.

What we are witnessing right now is the final phase of a collapse scenario that was more than a decade in the making, and Biden is about to help finish the job.

Biden will no doubt seek to hyperinflate the dollar in the name of offsetting the losses and keep things afloat for a short time, but the real agenda will be to trigger price spikes in goods as well as eventually killing the dollar. No amount of stimulus will stop the crash that has already been set in motion; the bailout measures from this point on are Kabuki theater, a show put on for the masses to make us believe that the government and the banks "did everything they could" to save us. The elites have no intention of stalling or stopping the collapse; their "great reset" demands it.

One's initial assumption would be that Biden would then take the blame for the economic crisis, but it appears that the establishment is going to set up a Herbert Hoover narrative and lay all the blame squarely on Trump and conservatives. In the past, I have noted that Trump's trajectory was very similar to Herbert Hoover's, in that he was a business mogul and Republican that pushed for corporate tax cut policies and also extensive tariffs.

Hoover also took the blame for the crash of 1929 and the advent of the Great Depression, even though the crash was primarily caused by the Federal Reserve's ultra-low interest rates and easy money, followed by a series of rate hikes (a fact which former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke would later openly admit to in 2002). This launched the three-term dominion of Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the most communistic presidents in our history and the initiator of socialist programs that have since buried the American public in Quadrillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities.

Biden's latest statements indicate he will be introducing numerous executive orders to "correct the mistakes of the Trump administration," thereby implanting the idea that whatever happens next is Trump's fault. The "Reset" globalists and their central banking partners will have to bring down the U.S. economy very quickly under a Biden White House. Why? Because if they wait, or if they try to drag out the collapse and the worst happens a few years down the road, Biden and the globalists will get the blame. They must crash the old-world order now so that Trump and conservatives get the blame.

The strategy seems to be set up like this: Demonize conservatives as much as possible as quickly as possible so that our purge can be rationalized. When we are incapable of defending ourselves in the public sphere because we have been removed from the internet, the establishment and leftists can blame us for everything going wrong. The public would have no access to any other points of view or contradictory facts and evidence because the alternative media will be gone. We become the monsters... the bogeymen... and the source of all American suffering.

We didn't fall into the trap of supporting martial law measures during the BLM riots, so this must be Plan B.

Will this plan work? I doubt it. Just as the globalist rollout of the pandemic lockdowns and medical tyranny is failing to gain traction in the U.S. as huge numbers of people refuse to take the questionable vaccines, I suspect millions upon millions of Americans are already savvy to the propaganda schemes of the establishment and will not buy in. But that doesn't mean the elites won't try it anyway.

In early November I war gamed the Biden scenario extensively and concluded that if he were to enter the White House it would have to be followed by a massive erasure of conservative media platforms from the internet. I stated that:

If Biden does indeed enter the White House and take control of the presidency, expect certain consequences right away: A complete full spectrum censorship campaign of conservative news sources will be undertaken by tech companies and government. There is no way Biden and the democrats could keep control of the situation while conservatives are able to share information in real time. Do not be surprised if web providers suddenly start kicking conservative sites off their servers, just as Bitchute (a YouTube alternative) was kicked off their server for 24 hours on election night.

This is already happening, and Biden hasn't even stepped foot in the Oval Office yet. The coordinated effort by Big Tech to remove Parler, a Twitter alternative, from the web completely was not all that surprising, and it's only going to get worse from here on. Biden will support and defend the censorship efforts by Big Tech and the marriage between government and the corporate world will be complete.

As noted, the globalists have to silence us before they can effectively demonize us. The truth is on our side; facts and logic are on our side. They can't win the war of ideas if we are allowed to speak, so, they have to silence us.

Sweeping gun control measures would be issued by Biden, but only after the conservative purge from the internet is close to finished. If conservatives are isolated from one another in terms of communication, this makes it harder to organize a defense against aggressive gun confiscation. Biden will most likely try to assert Red Flag gun laws first, this would allow him to declare anyone to be "a threat to public safety" without due process, and have their guns taken away.

There is an obvious outcome to all of these actions, and I don't think it's farfetched to suggest that conservative counties and states will demand secession. At the very least, conservatives are going to continue to relocate to red states and red counties, just so they can continue to do business and make a living without government interference. There's no way that most red states or counties are going to submit to any federal lockdown mandates or medical passports, and economies in conservative regions are going to remain stable because of this while blue states are going to crumble.

Undoubtedly, Biden will seek to retaliate against conservative controlled areas of the country in response.

There comes a point when it is impossible for those that value freedom, logic and reason to live side-by-side with those that are irrationally obsessed with control. The American constitutional framework, in particular, was designed to prevent collectivism from overriding individual liberties, but if the system is overtaken through subversion and the Bill of Rights is violated, then maintaining the system is no longer plausible.

The best option for a number of reasons is to separate. Secession is often referred to as "running away" from a cultural problem, but this is an ignorant way of looking at it.

We are reaching a stage right now in the U.S. where it will be virtually impossible to voice political concerns without risking retribution. If you are a conservative, you will be targeted.

If conservatives and moderates migrate away from leftist-controlled areas and congregate in "red states "or red counties, then it will be nearly impossible for leftists to attack you for voicing your views. If your employer is a conservative, then he's not going to care if a leftist mob demands you be fired. If you own a business in a conservative community, then the people that live there will continue as your customers regardless of what leftists say about you.

Conservative and moderates must start to physically separate from the political left because this allows us to remain free to think and speak as we like, and it takes all power away from leftists to hurt us by sabotaging our means of making a living.

Secession is a more extreme measure, but it will become necessary if leftists refuse to accept that we are no longer participating in their games of fear and subterfuge. Leftists are collectivist by nature, and collectivists see people as property. Walking away is not an option in their minds. So, though we might successfully separate, this would only be the beginning of the battle.

The important thing is to first make sure that conservatives know that there are places they can go where their rights are valued and defended. If conservatives feel completely isolated and alone, many will give up, go dark and pray they are not discovered. This is unacceptable.

The advantage of secession is clear; by separating, conservatives force the enemy to come to them, on the ground they have prepared. The leftists will be the aggressors. They will try to present the situation otherwise, but it won't matter. We will have the moral high ground as well as the superior strategic position.

There are multiple narratives that will be used to demonize the secession movement beyond the terrorism angle. In particular, I think the government and the media will try to tie secession to "foreign entities." In other words, they will claim the secession movement is being funded or supported by Russia, or some other foreign power. This is what almost every government in history has done when faced with a viable secession that could threaten their control. They accuse the people who want to separate of being agents for evil outsiders.

It doesn't matter.

Conservatives cannot live with leftists, their cultism and zealotry have made it impossible. And we will not live under a globalist tyranny built around their reset agenda. Separation allows us to consolidate for defense and protects us economically. It is the only way to ensure that we remain free. The globalists and the leftists will try to stop us; they can't help themselves. They are insane, after all. This will lead to a war many of us have been expecting for quite some time. At the very least, with separation and secession, we will be in the best possible position to stop them. If we remain isolated from each other, the fight will be over before it even begins.

To truth and knowledge,

Biden's administration — the company you keep

 More from Bob Livingston:

In Aesop's Fable The Ass and His Purchaser, a man looking to buy a donkey wanted to test the animal before completing the purchase. So he put the donkey in his field with the other donkeys to see what would happen.

The donkey immediately strayed from the majority of the herd and cozied up to the laziest donkey of all.

Seeing that, the man led the donkey back to his owner. When the owner asked how he could judge the donkey's character so quickly the man explained, "I didn't even need to see how he worked. I knew he would be just like the one he chose to be his friend."

Fables are popular because they tell the story of the way things in life really work. In business, when someone takes over a department or company, that person promotes those he or she likes to positions of authority. The new manager seeks out those who have a philosophy, work ethic and disposition similar to his.

One would expect a president to do the same thing. After all, a president is elected — supposedly — based on the vision, ideas and proposals he championed during the campaign. It would then make sense that he would put in place those who supported his vision and would therefore be enthusiastic in working to achieve it.

So who are President Biden's friends, and who has he put in charge of the effort to enact his policies? And what do the friends he has chosen and the people he has put in positions of authority in his administration say about him?

The Washington Free Beacon said it succinctly: "Not only is Biden filling his administration with the same people who made such a hash of things from 2009 to 2017. He has also selected, for some of the most important offices, progressive ideologues who believe it is the bureaucracy's job to pick new fights in the culture war."

Following is a list of some of Biden's friends, advisors and people charged with enacting his policies:

The Justice Department launched an investigation into Rhode Island's Health and Human Services Department because Gina Raimondo's administration rubber-stamped a massive overhaul of the state's welfare-distribution program that left thousands without Medicare or food assistance for months. The U.S. Agriculture Department levied an $800,000 fine on the state, and the ACLU sued the health department. And she chose an unqualified woman to lead her state's children's-services department.

The Governess co-chaired the failed Bloomberg presidential campaign and was "unqualified," as Democrats love to shout, for the original position Biden wanted to give her — health and human services. She is no more qualified for this position than she was for that role.

  • Biden will nominate New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland to lead the Interior Department. She'll be the first Native American to hold the post.

The problem is, she'll be leading the department that will be on the front lines of Biden's sure-to-be-harmful war on the nonsensical [read: fake] issue of "climate change." Biden will stop new oil and gas drilling on public lands and has said that he will rejoin the Paris Climate Accords — which lets polluters off scot-free and punishes American industry.

She said in a recent interview. "We don't want to go back to normal, right? We don't want to go back to where we were because that economy wasn't working for a lot of people."

  • Biden will install California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to oversee the vast Department of Health and Human Services.

He's a proponent of socialized medicine for all. The Washington Examiner reports that, "As attorney general, Becerra has pressed Catholic hospitals inappropriately to perform abortions … he has used his power to persecute pro-life activists for exposing Planned Parenthood's trafficking in human body parts. His voting record in Congress was 100% pro-abortion." He's also an anti-gunner who wants to be able to tell you what guns you should and shouldn't be allowed to buy.

  • Biden will choose a military officer for the civilian role of Secretary of Defense.

Retired general Lloyd Austin is the former CENTCOM commander, and Biden chose him because, reportedly, he had a good relationship with Joe's son Beau Biden.

  • For his national security, Biden will choose former State Department official Jake Sullivan.

According to classified emails made public under lawsuits from the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, Sullivan — soon to be a national security advisor, mind you — was deeply involved in the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal which saw her and her associates mishandle classified information about America on a private email server.

  • Biden wants Antony Blinken to be his secretary of state.

He's not just your average warmonger. He wants to strike Syria, Iran, and anyone else who hasn't been bombed as of yet. Responsiblestatecraft.org describes him thusly: Blinken "agreed with some of the biggest foreign policy mistakes that Biden and Obama made, and he has tended to be more of an interventionist than both of them."

  • Biden has picked Gina McCarthy, head of the EPA under Obama and president of the leftist environmental group National Resources Defense Council, to become his "climate czar."

She's another climate propagandist.

  • Biden announced Miguel Cardona would be his pick for education secretary.

The Washington Times reported that Cardona spent most of his short tenure in charge of Connecticut public schools dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. He "took an aggressive stance in favor of keeping schools open, a position that put him at odds with the powerful teachers unions."

Excellent, except that he's still a lifelong proponent of our non-education system, and wants kids in the indoctrination centers no matter what. "There is no substitute for in-classroom learning," he said in an interview.

Also, Susan Rice will reappear to ply her duplicitousness to domestic policy. Denis McDonough, Obama's chief of staff during the time Obama was trying to have the Syrian government overthrown, will be the secretary for Veterans' Affairs.

These are just a few of the folks who have occupied or currently occupy Biden's inner circle. He was passed off by the mainstream media as being a centrist and moderate, but many of his friends are anything but that, and some are quite radical. And when you parse some of his words or find video or audio from several years ago you know that Biden himself has some radical views.

But the media ignored Biden's love for Obama's radical friends and his own ties to communists. That, and Biden's misleading rhetoric led many otherwise thoughtful and good people down the primrose path, and they voted him without realizing what they were getting.

But as the truth gets out about his associates, the cover is coming off. He's becoming known by the company he keeps, as well as his own deeds.

Yours for the truth,

Who are the terrorists, again?

 From Bob Livingston's Personal Liberty Letter, Monday, January 18th, 2021:

The Democratic Party is the party of tolerance. We are told this with regularity. After all, the party tolerates — promotes, actually — deviant lifestyles, the murder of babies in the womb, legalized theft by government, general sloth by the populace, terrorists, big government, coercion, mob violence and thuggishness (workers unions), central planning (socialism and Marxism), and crony capitalism (which is essentially fascism).

What it doesn't tolerate is free speech. In fact, it goes to great lengths — even engaging in criminal activity — and great expense to ensure that dissenting views are squelched, particularly the views from the right.

The progressives' ideas of unlimited government and unlimited spending can't stand up to arguments against smaller government and liberty. So the leftists resort to thuggery, intimidation and the courts to silence their detractors. Trump supporters at the Capitol learned from the best.

That includes Susan Rosenberg. Have you heard of her? She's now called an "activist" and a "writer" by the lamestream media.

What she really is, is a domestic terrorist.

Scott Walter of the Capital Research Center wrote: "Rosenberg, who started out as a member of the 1960s revolutionary group Weather Underground, graduated into even more violent, and arguably successful, forms of terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s — including bombings at an FBI field office in Staten Island, the Navy Yard Officers' Club in Washington, D.C., and even the U.S. Capitol building."

Yes, in 1983, Rosenberg didn't protest at the Capitol and walk through a hall with a lectern or sit at Nancy Pelosi's desk. Rosenberg set off a huge bomb inside the U.S. Capitol building. She was caught in 1984 while unloading from her car and into a New Jersey storage unit hundreds of pounds of dynamite along with myriad guns. She went to prison for 16 years.

She was not a "political prisoner" as the Left would have you believe.

In the present day, she served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for none other than… Black Lives Matter.

The left's embracing — and funding — of convicted domestic terrorist Rosenberg is eerily similar to its embracing of convicted bomber Bill Ayers.

Ayers groomed President Barack Obama and launched his political career. Yet his association with a man who, also as part of the Weather Underground, set off numerous bombs — including one that may have killed a San Francisco police officer — did not hurt Obama's standing in the least.

That the left and Democrats would even embrace convicted domestic terrorists like Rosenberg — and, in fact, invite them into their inner circle and encourage their tactics — demonstrates that the progressives who have taken over the party are true enemies of America.

Now, president-elect Biden wants to use his (no)Justice Department to strengthen Obama's idea of a domestic terrorism czar, along with a whole department to battle the newest greatest threat — behind nonexistent global warming — to America: the white Christian male gun-owning liberty lover.

Soon after Obama took office, in 2009, the Department of Homeland Security issued a report titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." Possible terrorists include people opposed to President Obama; those upset by the high unemployment rate; supporters of gun rights; those who believe in conspiracy theories involving a coming martial law declaration and the creation of detention camps; those who stockpile food, ammunition and weapons in anticipation of a collapse; military veterans; and Christians.

As the Washington Examiner points out, The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, "first passed by the House in September of last year, is gaining traction again. It would create 'dedicated domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism,' according to the bill's language."

The target is always liberty-loving Americans. Also, the powers-that-shouldn't be devote extra scrutiny to Christians who believe the Bible is God's word, Christian "fundamentalists" (whatever those are), Americans who believe the country was founded on the principles of liberty and individual freedom (it was) and those who believe the Constitution stands as the law of the land (it does, even though it's now ignored).

Biden will only continue to advocate for the notion that if you are white, or Christian, own guns, believe the Constitution is the law of the land and not what a majority of a group of nine robe-wearing Satanists say the law is, oppose oppressive totalitarian government, advocate for low taxes and/or are against the Federal Reserve, etc., then you are a domestic terrorist worthy of indefinite detention or worse.

How have we come to this point, that free Americans could be viewed as terroristic enemies in the very nation their forefathers created? Part of the answer is that America has been subjected to a long-term, clever process of demoralization and destabilization from within, as occurred on a more speedy schedule in South Africa.

Another part of the answer is to be found in the fact that the two-party system has been compromised and subverted. Both the Republican "big tent" strategy and the Democratic "diversity" appeal are actually the same.

It is utterly unacceptable to we who love liberty that the two parties have conspired to destroy the Constitution and bring the United States into a totalitarian New World Order. In the last 12 years, the Obama presidency, the Republican-majority Congress and the black-robed U.S. judiciary have combined to cut back constitutional and civil liberties more than any other comparable period in history. The federal government is a Bigger Brother than ever and its two busy hands are the Republican and Democratic parties...

Yours for the truth, 

Bob Livingston
