If the past four years have taught us anything‚ it is that you “elites” are awful people. Your ideas are awful. Your vision for the future is awful. The society you wish to create‚ with yourselves in charge‚ would be unspeakably awful. Dear self-styled “global elites:” No doubt‚ should this missive ever come to your attention‚ you will simply dismiss me as a “conspiracy theorist.” But no theorizing is necessary when the conspirators keep admitting to it‚ repeatedly speaking the quiet part out loud. Your creepy Bond-villain in chief‚ Klaus Schwab‚ Chairman of the World Economic Forum‚ has openly called for “permanent interaction between governments and regulatory agencies on the one hand‚ and business on the other”—in other words‚ for a kind of global fascism 2.0. Meanwhile‚ Schwab’s oily henchman‚ Yuval Harari‚ asserts that “human rights exist only in the imagination.”  One needn’t be a prophet to see where this is heading. Not only are you not trying to hide your agenda‚ you’re obviously quite proud of it. As another of your number said in a speech at Davos in 2022‚ “The good news is that the elites across the world trust each other more and more. So we can come together and design and do beautiful things together. The bad news is that…the majority of people trust their elites less. So we can lead‚ but if people aren’t following‚ we’re not going to get to where we want to go.” Our fan-favorite Turbo Force Plus is now 40% off! See for yourself the delicious one-of-a-kind energy boost infowarriors CRAVE! How to respond to this stunning example of tone-deaf arrogance‚ which I believe accurately represents the attitude of most “elites” these days—especially the elitest of the elites‚ the Davos crowd?  Let’s start with this: You’re right—we are not following. And we have no intention of doing so‚ for several reasons.  First‚ anyone who describes themselves as an “elite” betrays a breathtaking egotism. They are openly acknowledging that they think themselves better than the rest of us—smarter‚ more knowledgeable‚ morally superior‚ better equipped to lead. So we should all just shut up and do as we’re told.  No. We’re not going to do as we’re told. Not by you. We don’t accept that you know more than we do about anything that matters‚ and certainly not about how to live our lives. If we had any doubts—if we ever wondered whether‚ after all‚ maybe your way was best—the last four years have proven unequivocally otherwise.  Calling your pandemic response “botched” would be the greatest understatement in history. Everything you told us to do—lock down‚ mask up‚ “socially distance‚” offer ourselves as human guinea pigs—not only didn’t stop the virus but made things exponentially worse. A health crisis morphed quickly into an economic‚ social‚ and political one as well‚ not to mention an even worse health crisis. It wasn’t Covid that did that. It was you‚ our “global elites.”  Indeed‚ we have come to realize—and many of us knew all along—that the severity of the disease was oversold from the beginning. Sure‚ it was bad‚ worse than the seasonal flu‚ maybe‚ but not that much worse. It was nowhere near the mass extinction event you made it out to be. It affected almost exclusively the elderly‚ the infirm‚ and the morbidly obese. Schools‚ churches‚ and businesses could have stayed open all along and it would have made little or no difference in the course of the pandemic‚ as places like Sweden and Florida have shown.  Yet you insisted on keeping us locked in our homes. On keeping our kids out of school. On covering our faces and shuttering our churches and bankrupting our businesses. All while holding out hope of a magical “vaccine.” And when your jabs turned out not to work so well—when it was obvious they didn’t stop infection or transmission—instead of admitting you were wrong‚ you simply doubled down on your failed pre-jab strategies.  Perhaps‚ in the beginning‚ it was just ignorance. You didn’t know what was going on any more than the rest of us did. Maybe you were just doing your best to “save mankind.”  Somehow‚ I doubt it. Evidence that this entire debacle might well be attributable to your own perfidy and malfeasance argues against that generous interpretation. So does the fact that you steadfastly refuse to admit your now obvious mistakes and instead persist in your folly. At the very least‚ it is clear that you have exploited this crisis for all it’s worth‚ in an attempt to remake the world to your liking—to initiate‚ as you call it‚ “The Great Reset.”  Unfortunately for you‚ the professor was right: We the people are not on board. We reject your Great Reset. We reject your vision of the world. We reject globalism. We have nothing against other countries‚ but we prefer our own‚ warts and all‚ and we have no intention of surrendering our national sovereignty to any form of world government.  We reject your multiculturalism. Other cultures may offer much to admire and emulate‚ but we have our own culture‚ thank you‚ and it suits us just fine.  We reject your vision of a tightly controlled‚ centrally planned economy. We prefer free markets‚ messy as they are‚ as the engine for producing the greatest possible individual liberty‚ prosperity‚ and human flourishing.  We reject your nouveau fascism‚ in which world governments collude with global corporations‚ notably Big Tech and Big Pharma‚ to surveil‚ harass‚ and ultimately control the rest of us. We don’t care if it’s “for our own good” (although we sincerely doubt it). We’d much rather have self-governance‚ the freedom to decide for ourselves what is best for us and our families.  In short‚ we reject you‚ the self-styled elites‚ the smug sanctimonious limousine leftists who fly your private jets into Davos then lecture the rest of us about our “carbon footprint.” We don’t think you’re in any way smarter or better than us. Indeed‚ you have proved to our satisfaction that you are not. We do not trust you. We do not want your “leadership.” We suspect‚ based on hard experience‚ that the “beautiful things” you intend to “design and do” are not beautiful at all but rather hideous and loathsome—for us‚ at least. They may be beautiful for you as they increase your power‚ wealth‚ and influence. But we care about the magnificent edifice you are constructing for yourselves only to the extent that we wish to tear it down.  If the past four years have taught us anything‚ it is that you “elites” are awful people. Your ideas are awful. Your vision for the future is awful. The society you wish to create‚ with yourselves in charge‚ would be unspeakably awful. We reject it‚ and we reject you. So go away and leave us alone—or else suffer the consequences. 

How are people supposed to have faith in a system that is this broken? When I was young‚ I often wondered what it must have been like to live during the fall of the Roman Empire.  Unfortunately‚ now I have a pretty good idea.  Just like the Roman Empire‚ the United States is falling.  Every day our decline gets even more pronounced‚ and you can see evidence of this all around us.  Virtually all of our major institutions are crumbling‚ and virtually all of our most critical systems are failing.  We tend to blame our problems on our politicians‚ but the truth is that the rot that is rapidly spreading throughout our society runs a lot deeper than that.  Millions upon millions of us have completely rejected the values that this nation was founded upon‚ and so now we have a giant mess on our hands.  The following are 12 absolutely insane examples that show just how far the U.S. has fallen… #1 A social media influencer that returned a couch to Costco after using it for more than two years is telling her followers to buy all of their furniture from Costco because “you can return it when you don’t like it anymore”… A woman named Jackie shared she bought a couch from Costco over two and a half years ago‚ in a video posted last week to TikTok that’s attracted nearly 3 million views.Jackie admits she was nervous to return the large item to the warehouse store and felt intimidated by other shoppers staring at her while waiting in line.“But who cares. Return it. They have an awesome return policy‚” she tells her followers. “Buy your furniture from Costco‚ girl. You can return it when you don’t like it anymore.”Introducing Next Level Foundational Energy from Dr. Jones Naturals starting at 30% off! This cutting-edge dietary supplement is designed to elevate your energy levels and support your overall well-being. #2 The U.S. Navy is having a really difficult time recruiting young people‚ and so they have decided that a radical new approach is needed.  From now on‚ a high school diploma will no longer be necessary… “We get thousands of people into our recruiting stations every year that want to join the Navy but do not have an education credential‚” said the branch’s chief of personnel Vice Admiral Rick Cheeseman. “And we just turn them away.”Now the Navy will accept some of those potential recruits lacking a high school diploma or GED‚ assuming they’re able to score 50 or above on a qualification test.The move comes after the service previously lowered their qualification requirements in 2022‚ again amidst recruitment challenges. The Navy is the only branch of the US armed forces that admits applicants who score below 30 out of 100 on the qualification test. Officials say some positions‚ such as in maintenance or food preparation‚ don’t require a conventional education. #3 Three years ago‚ the city of Portland decriminalized the possession of all drugs.  Let’s check in and see how that is working out… Oregon leaders have declared a 90-day state of emergency in Portland to battle the city’s debilitating fentanyl crisis three years after decriminalizing possession of all drugs.Governor Tina Kotek‚ Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson made the declaration and are directing their agencies to work with first responders in connecting people addicted to the synthetic opioid with resources including drug treatment programs and to crack down on drug sales. #4 Western Oregon University has found a way to keep students from failing.  D- and F grades will no longer be earned by anyone because they are being abolished… Citing a wrongheaded “GPA fixation‚” Western Oregon University leaders have announced plans to abolish D- and F grades for students.They will replace them with “no credit” in an effort to support student success and encourage struggling undergrads to continue their education despite obstacles‚ they said.The public university announced in a news release this month the changes would start in the fall. #5 From this point forward‚ every police officer in El Paso‚ Texas will be forced to ask for the preferred pronouns of every person that they encounter… The policy‚ called “Constitutional Policing‚” was introduced in December 2023; however‚ it was not implemented until January 2024 and will require officers to ask every person they encounter‚ “How would you like to be referred to?”The gender-inclusive policy was created with the help of the Borderland Rainbow Center‚ an “LGBTQ Community Center‚” in El Paso‚ Texas‚ and exists so that LGBTQ “people and their allies can heal‚ grow‚ and empower themselves and others.” The director of the center‚ Amber Perez‚ told a local news station‚ “This is just the start.”“The most important thing is that we can’t change the past‚” Perez said. “[B]ut what we can do is take this first moment and run with it and continue the conversation and be able to speak to each other with respect.” #6 A group of migrants that was caught on camera physically attacking cops in Times Square was shocking released without even having to post bail… Police officers and other critics are slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for refusing to seek bail for the rowdy migrants arrested after allegedly being caught on camera attacking NYPD cops in Times Square.Veteran police officers fumed to The Post Saturday that Bragg made a mockery of the entire justice system by letting five migrants walk after they were arraigned Wednesday on charges of second-degree assault on a police officer and obstruction of governmental administration in the shocking Jan. 27 beatdown.“Alvin Bragg just showed all New Yorkers that the Police Department doesn’t matter to him‚” said an NYPD detective with more than two decades on the job. It has been reported that the migrants were seen getting on a bus to California‚ and so hopefully someone can track them down before they disappear completely. #7 A group of pro-life activists in Tennessee face 11 years in prison for praying and singing outside of an abortion clinic… Nearly three years ago several pro-Life activists held a prayer rally at a Tennessee abortion clinic.The Christian protesters prayed and sang hymns.They were sitting peacefully in the lobby of the abortion center.The protesters included: Chester Gallagher‚ 73‚ of Lebanon‚ Tennessee; Heather Idoni‚ 58; Calvin Zastrow‚ 57; and Caroline Davis‚ 24; all of Michigan; Coleman Boyd‚ 51‚ of Bolton‚ Mississippi; Dennis Green‚ 56‚ of Cumberland‚ Virginia; and Paul Vaughn‚ 55‚ of Centerville‚ Tennessee. #8 The 24-year-old aide to U.S. Senator Ben Cardin that was filmed having gay sex in a Senate hearing room will not be charged with breaking any laws… As reported earlier – The United States Capitol Police have concluded their investigation into a controversial incident involving Aidan Maese-Czeropski‚ a 24-year-old former aide to Democratic Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland.Maese-Czeropski had been embroiled in a scandal after a sexually explicit video recorded in the Senate hearing room surfaced online.The video‚ which depicted Maese-Czeropski and his partner engaging in anal sex inside the Senate Hearing Room‚ sparked nationwide controversy. Clad only in a g-string jockstrap‚ Maese-Czeropski was seen atop the senator’s desk‚ a setting traditionally reserved for grave legislative deliberations and Supreme Court confirmation hearings. #9 Violent carjackers are fearlessly roaming the streets of Washington D.C.‚ and anyone that resists one of those young carjackers can end up dead.  Sadly‚ that is precisely what just happened to an official that worked in the Trump administration… Former Trump Administration official Mike Gill has died after being shot in front of his wife during a carjacking in Washington DC.Gill‚ a married father of three‚ was shot by Artell Cunningham on K Street NW about 5.45pm last Monday and died in hospital on Saturday.He was collecting his wife‚ an education lawyer‚ when he was shot inside the car by the attacker. He stumbled outside the vehicle and collapsed. #10 The Chinese and other foreign buyers are purchasing millions of acres of U.S. farmland‚ but nobody knows exactly how much farmland they now own and very few of our politicians are interested in stopping this practice… America is seeing more and more of its most fertile land snapped up by China and other foreign buyers‚ yet problems with how the US tracks such data means it’s difficult to know just how much‚ according to a report.Foreign ownership and investment in property such as farmland‚ pastures and forests jumped to about 40 million acres in 2021‚ up 40% from 2016‚ according to the US Department of Agriculture data. But an analysis conducted by the US Government Accountability Office — a non-partisan watchdog that reports to Congress — found mistakes in the data‚ including the largest land holding linked with China being counted twice. Other issues include the challenge of enforcing a US law that requires foreigners to self-report such purchases‚ the report said‚ citing USDA. #11 So many radical Muslims have moved into Dearborn‚ Michigan that the Wall Street Journal is referring to it as “America’s Jihad Capital”… A Michigan suburb with the largest Muslim population in the US has upped its security in fear of hate attacks after it was branded America’s ‘jihad capital.’The headline of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Friday read ‘Welcome to Dearborn‚ America’s Jihad Capital’ – a title given to the city by the publication because of its residents’ pro-Palestine stances. #12 A teacher in Massachusetts that had a spotless record for 23 years was fired after she revealed the truth about what was really going on in her school… “Bonnie Manchester had a spotless record in 23 years as a teacher at Baird Middle School. She laid it all on the line when she saw what was now happening to vulnerable children‚” the organization reported. “Bonnie Manchester is a Christian middle school teacher who was fired from her job in 2021. Her ‘crime’ was informing a father and mother that school officials were referring to their daughter as a boy and keeping it secret from them.” How are people supposed to have faith in a system that is this broken? Unfortunately‚ things are only going to get worse. As a society‚ we are the most divided that we have been in modern times‚ and with each passing day more foreigners that have come into this country illegally pour into U.S. cities that are already overwhelmed by crime‚ drugs‚ violence‚ homelessness and depravity. The stage is being set for chaos on a scale that most Americans never even dreamed would be possible. The election of 2024 is going to be the most divisive election that any of us have ever seen‚ our economic problems are rapidly accelerating‚ and global events threaten to turn all of our lives completely upside down. So I hope that you have been getting prepared‚ because things will soon start breaking loose in a major way.

This is the new face of tyranny in America: all-knowing‚ all-seeing and all-powerful. “Big Brother is Watching You.”―George Orwell‚ 1984 2024 is the new 1984. Forty years past the time that George Orwell envisioned the stomping boot of Big Brother‚ the police state is about to pass off the baton to the surveillance state. Fueled by a melding of government and corporate power—the rise of the security industrial complex—this watershed moment sounds a death knell for our privacy rights. An unofficial fourth branch of government‚ the Surveillance State came into being without any electoral mandate or constitutional referendum‚ and yet it possesses superpowers‚ above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military.Our fan-favorite Turbo Force Plus is now 40% off! See for yourself the delicious one-of-a-kind energy boost infowarriors CRAVE! It operates beyond the reach of the president‚ Congress and the courts‚ and it marches in lockstep with the corporate elite who really call the shots in Washington‚ DC. This is the new face of tyranny in America: all-knowing‚ all-seeing and all-powerful. Tread cautiously. Empowered by advances in surveillance technology and emboldened by rapidly expanding public-private partnerships between law enforcement‚ the Intelligence Community‚ and the private sector‚ the Surveillance State is making the fictional world of 1984‚ Orwell’s dystopian nightmare‚ our looming reality. 1984 portrays a global society of total control in which people are not allowed to have thoughts that in any way disagree with the corporate state. There is no personal freedom‚ and advanced technology has become the driving force behind a surveillance-driven society. Snitches and cameras are everywhere. People are subject to the Thought Police‚ who deal with anyone guilty of thought crimes. The government‚ or “Party‚” is headed by Big Brother who appears on posters everywhere with the words: “Big Brother is watching you.” Indeed‚ in our present age of ubiquitous surveillance‚ there are no private lives. Everything is increasingly public. What we are witnessing‚ in the so-called name of security and efficiency‚ is the creation of a new class system comprised of the watched (average Americans such as you and me) and the watchers (government bureaucrats‚ technicians and private corporations). We now find ourselves in the unenviable position of being monitored‚ managed and controlled by our technology‚ which answers not to us but to our government and corporate rulers. This is the fact-is-stranger-than-fiction lesson that is being pounded into us on a daily basis. In this way‚ 1984‚ which depicted the ominous rise of ubiquitous technology‚ fascism and totalitarianism‚ has become an operation manual for the omnipresent‚ modern-day surveillance state. There are roughly one billion surveillance cameras worldwide and that number continues to grow‚ thanks to their wholehearted adoption by governments (especially law enforcement and military agencies)‚ businesses‚ and individual consumers. Surveillance cameras mounted on utility poles‚ traffic lights‚ businesses‚ and homes. Ring doorbells. GPS devices. Dash cameras. Drones. Store security cameras. Geofencing and geotracking. FitBits. Alexa. Internet-connected devices.  Stingray devices‚ facial recognition technology‚ body cameras‚ automated license plate readers‚ gunshot detection‚ predictive policing software‚ AI-enhanced video analytics‚ real-time crime centers‚ fusion centers: all of these technologies and surveillance programs rely on public-private partnerships that together create a sticky spiderweb from which there is no escape. With every new surveillance device we welcome into our lives‚ the government gains yet another toehold into our private worlds. As the cost of these technologies becomes more affordable for the average consumer‚ an effort underwritten by the tech industry and encouraged by law enforcement agencies and local governing boards‚ which in turn benefit from access to surveillance they don’t need to include in their budgets‚ big cities‚ small towns‚ urban‚ suburban and rural communities alike are adding themselves to the surveillance state’s interconnected grid. What this adds up to for government agencies (that is‚ FBI‚ NSA‚ DHS agents‚ etc.‚ as well as local police) is a surveillance map that allows them to track someone’s movements over time and space‚ hopscotching from doorbell camera feeds and business security cameras to public cameras on utility poles‚ license plate readers‚ traffic cameras‚ drones‚ etc. It has all but eliminated the notion of privacy enshrined in the  Fourth Amendment and radically re-drawn the line of demarcation between our public and private selves. The police state has become particularly adept at sidestepping the Fourth Amendment‚ empowered by advances in surveillance technology and emboldened by rapidly expanding public-private partnerships between law enforcement‚ the Intelligence Community‚ and the private sector. Over the past 50-plus years‚ surveillance has brought about a series of revolutions in how governments govern and populations are policed to the detriment of us all. Cybersecurity expert Adam Scott Wandt has identified three such revolutions. The first surveillance revolution came about as a result of government video cameras being installed in public areas. There were a reported 51 million surveillance cameras blanketing the United States in 2022. It’s estimated that Americans are caught on camera an average of 238 times every week (160 times per week while driving; 40 times per week at work; 24 times per week while out running errands and shopping; and 14 times per week through various other channels and activities). That doesn’t even touch on the coverage by surveillance drones‚ which remain a relatively covert part of police spying operations. The second revolution occurred when law enforcement agencies started forging public-private partnerships with commercial establishments like banks and drug stores and parking lots in order to gain access to their live surveillance feeds. The use of automatic license plate readers (manufactured and distributed by the likes of Flock Safety)‚ once deployed exclusively by police and now spreading to home owners associations and gated communities‚ extends the reach of the surveillance state that much further afield. It’s a win-win for police budgets and local legislatures when they can persuade businesses and residential communities to shoulder the costs of the equipment and share the footage‚ and they can conscript the citizenry to spy on each other through crowdsourced surveillance. The third revolution was ushered in with the growing popularity of doorbell cameras such as Ring‚ Amazon’s video surveillance doorbell‚ and Google’s Nest Cam. Amazon has been particularly aggressive in its pursuit of a relationship with police‚ enlisting them in its marketing efforts‚ and going so far as to hosting parties for police‚ providing free Ring doorbells and deep discounts‚ sharing “active camera” maps of Ring owners‚ allowing access to the Law Enforcement Neighborhood Portal‚ which enables police to directly contact owners for access to their footage‚ and coaching police on how to obtain footage without a warrant. Ring currently partners with upwards of 2‚161 law enforcement agencies and 455 fire departments‚ and that number grows exponentially every year. As Vice reports‚ “Ring has also heavily pursued city discount programs and private alliances with neighborhood watch groups. When cities provide free or discounted Ring cameras‚ they sometimes create camera registries‚ and police sometimes order people to aim Ring cameras at their neighbors‚ or only give cameras to people surveilled by neighborhood watches.” In November 2022‚ San Francisco police gained access to the live footage of privately owned internet cameras as opposed to merely being able to access recorded footage. No longer do police even have to request permission of homeowners for such access: increasingly‚ corporations have given police access to footage as part of their so-called criminal investigations with or without court orders. The fourth revolutionary shift may well be the use of facial recognition software and artificial intelligence-powered programs that can track people by their biometrics‚ clothing‚ behavior and car‚ thereby synthesizing the many strands of surveillance video footage into one cohesive narrative‚ which privacy advocates refer to as 360 degree surveillance. While the guarantee of safety afforded by these surveillance nerve centers remains dubious‚ at best‚ there is no disguising their contribution in effecting a sea change towards outright authoritarianism. For instance‚ as an in-depth investigative report by the Associated Press concludes‚ the very same mass surveillance technologies that were supposedly so necessary to fight the spread of COVID-19 are now being used to stifle dissent‚ persecute activists‚ harass marginalized communities‚ and link people’s health information to other surveillance and law enforcement tools. As the AP reports‚ federal officials have also been looking into how to add “‘identifiable patient data‚’ such as mental health‚ substance use and behavioral health information from group homes‚ shelters‚ jails‚ detox facilities and schools‚” to its surveillance toolkit. These cameras—and the public-private eyes peering at us through them—are re-engineering a society structured around the aesthetic of fear and‚ in the process‚ empowering “people to not just watch their neighborhood‚ but to organize as watchers‚” creating not just digital neighborhood watches but digital gated communities. Finally‚ there is a repressive‚ suppressive effect to surveillance that not only acts as a potentially small deterrent on crime but serves to monitor and chill lawful First Amendment activity. As Matthew Feeney warns in the New York Times‚ “In the past‚ Communists‚ civil rights leaders‚ feminists‚ Quakers‚ folk singers‚ war protesters and others have been on the receiving end of law enforcement surveillance. No one knows who the next target will be.” No one knows‚ but it’s a pretty good bet that the surveillance state will be keeping a close watch on anyone seen as a threat to the government’s chokehold on power. After all‚ as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries‚ the Surveillance State never sleeps.
