On Jan. 23, thousands of protesters marched on Washington, D.C. to demand the end of vaccine mandates. Nearly six decades earlier, thousands from a different generation marched on the nation’s capital to demand the end of racial segregation.
Those events have more to do with each other than you might think, especially as the recent holiday honoring the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fades into memory.
Just as equal access to employment, facilities, and legal status motivated the civil rights movement, so has equal access for the unvaccinated and unmasked become the civil rights issue of our time. Just as segregationists sought to limit access for the sake of an alleged greater social good, so do “progressives” who insist on indefinite vaccinations and mandates for the sake of “public health” and “the common good.”
Just as yesterday’s segregationists did, today’s “progressives” will readily sacrifice the Constitution and its values on the altar of their own bigotry.
Just as segregationist bigots viewed African-Americans as second-class citizens whose every movement must be closely monitored and controlled, so do “progressive” bigots view the unvaccinated. The More Things Change…
If you don’t believe those attitudes are identical, consider the opinions of those who claim to champion “compassion,” “inclusion,” and “social justice” from a Rasmussen poll released Jan. 13.
Among the 1,016 likely voters polled, 59 percent of Democrats supported forcing the unvaccinated to stay home except for emergencies. Another 55 percent of Democrats supported levying fines against anyone who chose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
In other categories, 48 percent of Democrats endorsed imposing fines or imprisoning anybody who questions whether COVID-19 vaccines work. Another 47 percent of Democrats approved of a government tracking program targeting the unvaccinated, and 45 percent supported forcing the unvaccinated to live in “designated facilities,” akin to the […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
