COVID TYRANNY: WHO IS PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOMS?
Manipulation and fear are the tools of the enemy.
By Brad Ward | Armor of Truth
The People drive a democracy and when we fall asleep at the wheel there is always an avid despot in disguise prepared to pilot the proletariat to his version of right rule.
Last May, after hearing the Title 42 immigration policy case, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a statement that is a strong indication of perilous times for the liberty of Americans. Justice Gorsuch has been labeled “the most divisive justice” on the SCOTUS by Time Magazine. His statement on the government’s pandemic response reveals at least one reason why legacy media shills find the man so repulsive:
“Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.”
Echoing the sentiments most of us have proclaimed loudly since the summer of 2020, Justice Gorusch’s direct indictment of federal officials, governors, and local leaders who imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes, shuttered businesses, closed schools and singled out churches as non-essential while deeming casinos and brothels essential and allowing them to operate business as usual.
Justice Gorsuch railed on power-drunk officials who threatened church-goers not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions if they dared exercise their First Amendment right to worship corporately with their congregation. It was encouraging to read from a servant of the highest court in the American justice system such a strong condemnation of the tactics we all endured and which many of us knew from the start were saturated in evil.
The self-styled authoritarians of 2020 and 2021 surveilled church parking lots, recorded license plates, and issued warnings that if one was to attend even outdoor services, they could be charged with a crime. They divided cities and neighborhoods into color-coded zones, forced individuals to fight for their freedoms in court on emergency timetables, and then changed their procedures when defeat in court seemed imminent.
Federal executive officials weaponized a workplace-safety agency to issue vaccine mandates for working Americans and threatened to fire those who chose not to comply with such arbitrary decrees. Perhaps worse, these same disdainful dictators pressured American armed service members with a dishonorable discharge and even jail time if they refused to submit the jab.
They didn’t stop there. While the waters were chummed these Stalinist sharks took full advantage of the opportunity to sink their tyrannical teeth into free speech. Federal officials, both unelected and elected, colluded with social-media companies to suppress any information that countered the approved narrative.
Meanwhile, one of the most disheartening transgressions to bear was the failure of our federal and district courts, state appellate and municipal courts, and even local, city, and county courts. The very ones among us clothed with the authority and solemn duty to protect the innocent and punish the wicked, too often fell silent allowing the abuse to thrive and breed.
Shockingly, while some stood firm, at times even local law enforcement failed us. Those considered to be our community’s finest, the defenders of truth and justice themselves at best looked the other way, or at worst directly participated in the flagrant defilement of their sacred duty following orders they know very well to be anti-American, and often, anti-human.

While this might be unusual to many Americans, this kind of abuse of power is not new. As Justice Gorsuch expounded in his point-blank rebuke, even the ancients foresaw the fate of a sleepy democracy.
In the 4th and 5th centuries before the first advent of Christ, Plato discussed the "cycle of regimes," describing how democracies that have grown divided, can crumble when confronted with the fear of an imminent threat. Whether the source of the fear is real or imagined, there will be opportunists who take advantage of the circumstances promising a new path of stability and security that inevitably leads to a concentration of power and autocracy. Aristotle believed that democracies could become unstable and susceptible to demagogues who exploit the fears and emotions of the people to gain power, eventually leading to tyranny. In the "History of the Peloponnesian War," Thucydides reported on how during fearful times the citizens of Athens, driven by emotion, were prone to foolish decisions undermining their democracy and leading to most unwelcome consequences.
In the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, Greek historian Polybius argued that democracies can degenerate into ochlocracy (mob rule) under the influence of those who manipulate the fears and emotions of the masses. The Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero wrote of the importance of upholding the rule of law and presciently warned us from the 1st century before Christ that when fear and chaos dominate a democracy, conditions are prime for a coup and the establishment of autocratic rule.
Freedom is a fragile state and its first enemy is government. These ancient thinkers telegraphed their concerns about the vulnerabilities of democracies to manipulation and fear, which could result in the erosion of democratic principles and the rise of autocratic rule. Their insights continue to be relevant in discussions about the health and stability of modern democratic societies.
Manipulation and fear are the tools of the enemy and the strength of the republic rises and falls with the awareness and engagement of the People. The defense and maintenance of liberty begins in the heart of the single citizen requiring the attentive engagement of every man. The People drive a democracy and when we fall asleep at the wheel there is always an avid despot in disguise prepared to pilot the proletariat to his version of right rule.

Have we learned anything from our experience under the influence of soft totalitarian tyranny? We’ve learned that many don’t mind it, in fact, their actions suggest they prefer it. I wonder if they’d remain so keen to bend the knee if they could see into the heart of the dictator?
Justice Gorsuch related the history of how Congress reviewed the use of emergency decrees in the 1970s and uncovered a most inconvenient truth buried within the executive branch. Emergency powers allow executive authorities to tap into extraordinary powers. Congress also learned that emergency decrees tend to live much longer lives than the crises that generate them. Congress found that some federal emergency proclamations had persisted in effect for years or decades after the emergency in question had passed.
Certainly, quick unilateral executive action is sometimes necessary and constitutionally supported. But the temptation to rule by decree under perpetual emergency powers has proved too strong for almost every administration since Eisenhower in the 1950s. Congress tried to stem the tide of these dictatorial urges with the National Emergencies Act, an effort to balance the necessity to lawfully move fast in times of great need with firmer protection of our liberties.
Nevertheless, the number of declared emergencies has only grown. As Justice Gorsuch wrote, “Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”

“Tracking Dystopia: Abuse Of Power & National/Public Health Emergencies”
Four major takeaways from the article:
In 2019 the US government had 27 national emergencies in effect.
In 2001, after 9/11, President George W. Bush declared a national emergency severely impacting the rights of Americans. It has been quietly renewed for the last 22 years.
In 2020, a National Emergency and a Public Health Emergency were declared in the US to facilitate the historic roll-out of a new product to a new market.
The WHO is quietly negotiating amendments to the International Health Regulations preparing the way for domination of world governments and global markets. Emergency powers will be the impetus for this unprecedented breach of national sovereignty.
As loathsome as this behavior has been, there is a much darker side to all of this that has been brought further into the light after the COVID coup of the US government and the apparent biowarfare that has been waged on the world through an unprecedented and deadly roll out of toxic “medical countermeasures.”
In our next article we’ll discuss:
The active depopulation of poor/developing nations has been official US foreign policy for over 50 years.
Unauthorized shadow governments have operated right out of the White House for at least 50 years.
One such unauthorized group was able to establish as official US foreign policy an agenda of depopulation of poor and developing nations around the world.
At the same time, various international institutions committed to global governance from the UN to the World Economic Forum have also been pushing forward an array of thinly veiled extermination agendas.
A global takeover of the earth’s resources disguised as environmental activism was born out of fear through apocalyptic scenarios and manipulative projections of how famine and disease would end humanity.
Of course, the world did not end, but even after several more failed predictions the false activism has not waned, but rather grown into both a fanatical religion and a new market for wealthy opportunists.
For more than 50 years, powerful factions, institutions, and governments have most certainly been engaged in at best population control, at worst mass murder.
In 2014, The Deagle Report predicted a 70% reduction in the US population.
As of 2022, excess deaths were up 40% in working-age Americans according to life insurance company CEO Scott Davison. A 10% increase would be a one-in-200-year catastrophe, so 40% is just unheard of. 270 million people face starvation.
