American life cannot be normal during an outbreak like the coronavirus. If we were going about “business as usual,” more people would get infected. There are debates about whether or not that’s a bad thing as an overabundance of caution can be more harmful in the long-term than the outbreak itself, but let’s stipulate for now that some precautions should be taken. If that’s the case, how do we know if government has gone too far.
The folks over at the Brennan Center for Justice have put together this handy flowchart to help us determine whether a new or proposed law, mandate, or executive order is appropriate, legal, and properly implemented. There’s a great risk to our freedoms in play today as governments at every level are imposing draconian measures for our “safety.” In many cases, these measures are not backed by science. In other cases, they’re unambiguous examples of government exploiting a crisis to insert their unrelated pet projects into legislation or decrees.
Arguably the biggest risks in this situation are the remnants that are not properly walked back. We’re seeing power grabs at multiple levels of government spread out across the country. Most Americans are allowing it to happen without rebuke because the fear of the coronavirus is currently greater than fear of oppression. But just as so much was never walked back following 9/11, so too will new laws and ordinances persist even after the coronavirus crisis subsides.
Here’s how they Brennan Center for Justice determines whether a law or mandate should be implemented:
“During a crisis, it might be necessary for government officials to implement measures that would be inappropriate during ordinary times,” writes Brennan’s emergency powers expert Elizabeth Goitein. “But that does not mean we must blindly accept any encroachment on our rights and freedoms as necessary. Indeed, emergencies provide fertile grounds for governments to expand their powers in ways that are often unnecessary or dangerous.”
We cannot rely on government to keep checks and balances on itself as it pertains to civil liberties. The people are ultimately responsible for protecting our own rights from oppression. This excellent flowchart can add clarity to the discussion.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
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 just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also 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!
