A Dose of Reality

If 2020 was a slap to the face, then 2021 was a one-two gut punch. The way things are looking, 2022 may turn out to be a sucker punch we weren’t expecting.

Although I'm not a fortune teller, it’s safe to assume what 2022 may bring using the past as a teacher. From my perspective, there are three major events on the horizon that will continue to test the resolve of the American spirit.

The intention of this article is not to get cheap fear clicks, that's not me. Instead, this article will lay out recent past events that indicate future happenings, current events in other countries that may come to American shores, and most importantly, what we as Americans can do about it.

Lockdowns

There’s an old saying that goes something like, “Once government seizes power, it never gives it back.” Needless to say, they've locked us down once, they're going to try and lock us down again. Seeing as many Americans either foolishly think that lockdowns are for "the greater good" or are simply terrified of being alive, expect to see the current administration in lockstep with corrupt governors of both parties to do everything they can to ease the country back into a longer, more draconian lockdown.

We must understand that lockdowns are not to "slow the spread"; their true purpose is to destroy independent income and independent employment. As a result, the American people will become completely dependent on the government for a monthly allowance as well as giant corporations for employment and sustenance. Broke social distancing laws? No food rations today. Forget to wear a mask in the store? No electricity for a week. Spoke out against the government? No running water for a month.

So what can we do? First, stop using Amazon; it's convenience has a price. While Amazon saw record-breaking profits in 2020, American-owned small businesses were forced to close. 38% of those businesses are now gone. Stop shopping at big box stores or corporate giants and start to get food at real small businesses. Get to know your local farmers, restaurant owners, and police. Build a community and openly talk about these things so that when the lockdowns come, you can all stand defiant and keep businesses open.

Social Unrest From 2022 Elections

Midterm elections will be held on November 8th with serious political ramifications on the line; 34 out of 100 Senate seats, countless state and local elections, and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives will be contested. 

A great majority of vote-Democrat-no-matter-what sheep are finally beginning to see the shadow of communism that's lurked in the current Democrat party and will now vote Republican. This has the potential for many Democrats to lose their seat and their districts flipped red - and we all know what happens when the left doesn't get their way. Couple this with the fact that the current administration refuses to prosecute looters and loves to steal elections, expect to see social unrest akin to the riots of summer 2020.

When it comes to dealing with political social unrest, there's really only two things you can do; vote and prepare. Don't let masked antifa goons scare you into not going to vote and learn from the summer of 2020. We've all been through riots like these less than two years ago. You know the drill. Stock up on essentials, keep your family close, and wait for it to pass. If it comes to your front door, do what you must to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Stricter Mandates

For a glimpse into the future of America, look to China and the nearby western countries today. From that lens, it's clear that there's more mandated tyranny in our future. 

Australia

In a little over one year, Australia went from an island full of jolly Aussies back to a prison colony under martial law. All phones have mandatory "contact tracing" apps that tracks where you've been, where you are, and who you were near.

Austria

This insanity is not unique to Australia.

Over the last few months, Austria has successfully enforced an ongoing lockdown just for the unvaccinated. Police and military are wandering the streets asking people for their proof of vaccination.

(Haven't we seen this before?)

If an unvaccinated individual is out when or where they shouldn't be, they are arrested on the spot and fined of up to €1,450. The Austrian government is also in the process of passing a law that would fine unvaxxed citizens up to £12,000 per year ($15,881 USD) for refusing to get vaccinated.

Whether you're vaccinated or not and how many jabs you've had is nobody's damn business. Those who think they're safe because they've had two shots and booster are in for a rude awakening seeing as the definition of "fully vaccinated" is always changing. Once they've decided that they've had enough and don't want anymore boosters, they fall into the same category as the unvaxxed. 

My point in including all of this is that what's happening there is coming here, and our only way out of it is coming together to engage in mass non-compliance. Left or right, police or citizen, Trump or Biden, rich or poor, none of it will matter once these tyrannical tactics appear on our shores. Get to know everyone in your community - the neighbors, men and women in your local police and fire department, the guy who bags your groceries - everyone. Tyranny cannot impose it's will on us unless we're right where it wants us - divided.

The Bright Side

Look, I'm not trying to ruin your day or scare the crap out of you - that's CCN's job. I'm trying to help you understand that war is being waged upon the citizens of the world by the 1% global elite, and America's next. 

And therein lies our Trump card; if those trying to impose tyranny make up less than 1% of the population, that means that we are part of the 99% fighting back. We have the numbers, we have the courage, and we have the capacity to unite against this common enemy. Our only way out of this is straight through it - together.

As George Carlin once said, "It's a big club and you ain't in it." To that I say, "Good."

Stay strong. America overcame tyranny before and we'll do it again.

God Bless America,
