Statism - Military Is the Only Way
The Biggest Disinformation Campaign of the Century For Both the Left and the Right
The biggest disinformation campaign of the century is that your government cares for you and will take care of you. This disinformation transcends cultures and borders and is widely believed worldwide.
The fact remains that no one will care for you more than you. No one will love and take care of your family more than you. No one will care for your community more than you.
The government will only care for itself.
We hear this sentiment echoed throughout the chambers of Congress, the Senate, and even the White House. We live in a world where our government has perverted the meanings of the words democracy, healthcare, justice, equity, human rights, free speech and the list continues.
These entities want nothing more than a single government controlling all. A world where we confuse freedom with democracy and bury our Constitutional Republic. A world where self-mutilation and delayed genocide has replaced the word healthcare. A country that releases criminals onto the streets under the false guise of justice. Equity has become racially biased. Human rights are slowly dwindling to non-existence in return for emotions and feelings. Free speech is speech that should be censored. And reality is much distorted. The reality left behind is one full of division and is controlled by a few. Basically it is the anti-thesis of a free society and the ultimate opiate of an elitist class.
So imagine my surprise when I hear "the military is the only way" and "devolution" come out of the mouths of the same people who call themselves Constitutionalists. The very idea of a suspended Constitution, a suspension of our Bill of Rights, and the establishment of a military run government is anathema to every ideal this country was founded on.
How could people who ascribe the label Patriot to themselves sound like they are reciting the latest talking points coming out of Davos and the World Economic Forum?
Welcome to the world of statism where you will own nothing. Not even representation within your government. Your leaders will be chosen for you. And you will be happy.
What Is Statism?
If you do a search for the definition of statism, you will find an array of answers. For example, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines statism as a "concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry."
To put it in simpler terms, "a highly centralized government" is nothing other than big government. And not just any ol' type of big government. This is government control that has never been seen before in these United States.
Dictionary.com defines it as "the principle or policy of concentrating extensive economic, political, and related controls in the state at the cost of individual liberty."
One has to really pause at that last phrase there — "at the cost of individual liberty."
If I were to define statism, I would say that it is a blanket term which is used to describe a totalitarian government. It is where the state (or persons/entities in control of the state) control everything. However, that everything tends to be the economics of a country — it's money, it's industry, the buying power of a nation, and an individual's ability to earn and keep their personal wealth. What is the easiest way to exert control? Through someone's pocket book. However, it may also be through social reforms and law-fare where these controls are created.
We have already seen a multitude of examples of statism played out in varying degrees in other nations and historically. These include:
Apartheid
Autocracy
Bureaucratism
Communism
Democracy
Fascism
Federalism
Feudalism
Imperialism
National Socialism or Nazism
Oligarchy
Socialism
The Nanny State
Theocracy
Tribalism
Although not an exhaustive list, it should give you some idea of the different types of forms of government which falls under the definition of statism. I am not going to go into the differences between these types of governments. Most people should have some idea of what they involve by now if they have studied any history or political science.
Many of these forms of statism differ superficially, but in ivory-tower theory, and bloodstained practice they all unite upon the same fundamental collectivist ethical principle: the individual is not an end to oneself but is a tool to serve the ends of others. Whether those “others” are a dictator’s gang, the nation, society, the race, (the) god(s), the majority, the community, the tribe, is irrelevant — the point is that the individual is not sovereign but a serf.

The Political Compass
In 2000, a think tank called The Decision Lab used a set of 62 questions and crowd sourced a political ideology into a political spectrum with two axis. The horizontal (or left-right) axis described a state's economy, with the left side being a state run economy and the right being an individual or company run economy. The vertical (or top-bottom) axis described personal freedom, with the top being authoritarian and the bottom being libertarian.
If you are looking at the political compass in utter confusion and thinking this is total hogwash, you are not alone. However, it is what is commonly taught as the political spectrum or the divide between the left and right.
There are several issues which could be pointed out. One of which is that this spectrum doesn't differentiate between extremism and moderates. Positions on policy are lumped together with ideology. It doesn't clearly define personal freedom and rights within its spectrum. It is also entirely based on opinion and not on actual policy or issues.
Author's Note: I bring this up to highlight that there is a lot of misinformation or at least skewed information being passed around regarding definitions on government and political types. I think this has been intentionally done in order to muddy the waters and discourage true knowledge and informed intelligence regarding politics. One glaringly large example of this would be calling the United States a democracy or equating democracy with freedom. The United States is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. Democracy isn't another word for freedom nor is it representative of freedom, individual rights, and personal liberties. A democracy doesn't secure or protect these ideals. Indeed, there have been several forms of government which have been democracies which fall under the definition of statism. We see examples of these misrepresentations all over the place whether we realize it or not, from fascism being a right-wing ideology to conservatives promoting Nazism.
Democracy is indispensible to socialism.
- Vladimir Lenin
You see that the concept that a scale measuring left versus right has at its two extremes elements of total control and oppression is absolutely ludicrous and is one of the biggest lies that has ever been foisted upon this world. The truth, ladies and gentlemen is that the scale measure at the extreme left total control and ownership of everything and everyone by the state. This is called communism. Versus at the right extreme the absence of any control of anything or anyone by anybody is called anarchy. Between these two extremes are all the other forms of government and our control or absence of control. Somewhere near the middle is our constitutional republic.
— Milton William "Bill" Cooper
A more accurate representation of the political spectrum would be the following visual representation, at least in terms of government control.
In this we see extreme levels of government control being exerted on the far left, whether it be through economics, social policy, law, religion, and so forth. On the right we see a total vacuum or absence of government control being that there is absolutely none. The two extremes are at opposite ends of the spectrum, as they should be. If we were to plot out the governments of the world, it would probably look like a bell curve.
Author's Note: Some would argue that the United States has moved more left than is displayed here. I would personally agree with them. We have shifted more towards the left side of the political spectrum. I would further argue that the whole world has. However, this is, in my opinion, where we should be or what the ideal United State government should be.
Freedom Defined
In order to define freedom, we must first define what it means to be not free or to be a slave.
Slavery is when you and your body and everything you produce, are owned by someone else. You must dress and speak as you are told to; work and live where and with who you are ordered to. You have no right to refuse any circumstance or treatment. You have no legal recourse for perceived injustice.
— Video: Freedom vs. Statism by Frey Faust
If slavery is the total lack of control of one's self, then freedom must be represented by its opposite extreme.
Freedom therefore is when you own your body and anything you acquire or any value you create through your work and/or investment. Your person and property is protected by the same laws everyone else must submit to. Freedom will further mean that you have the choice to re-invest that value in your own endeavors and/or in your children's future. If freedom is to be protected for everyone, it's limit will be defined by the right to say and do anything that does not take the same freedoms you have away from others, including the right to disagree, criticize, insult, and ridicule. Freedom is expressed in voluntary dis-[association] or association with whomever the individual chooses, with the right to choose one's own destiny. Freedom also entails dealing with the consequences of one's choices, for better or worse.
— Video: Freedom vs. Statism by Frey Faust
I want you to remember this phrase — "the freedom to choose one's own destiny." Can we truly be free if we are not allowed to choose our own destiny, individually or collectively? What if we were to give up those freedoms to benefit society as a whole?
Ayn Rand wrote tirelessly on statism. Her books, essays, and writings are littered with themes warning against this oppressive tide and the cries of progress in the name of the greater good.
Altruism holds that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only moral justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty. The political expression of altruism is collectivism or statism, which holds that man's life and work belong to the state - to society, to the group, the gang, the race, the nation - and that the state may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.
— Ayn Rand
We are told that the highest morality one can possess is in the name of self-sacrifice. I would argue that this statement is incomplete. It isn't self-sacrifice in itself that makes one morally righteous but the purpose to which we sacrifice ourselves for. Remember this because we will be getting into it more in a minute.
The Liberal Version of Statism
Frank Chodorov in his book The Rise and Fall of Society defines the modern day version of statism to be thus:
The present disposition is to liquidate any distinction between State and Society, conceptually or institutionally. The State is Society; the social order is indeed an appendage of the political establishment, depending on it for sustenance, health, education, communications, and all things coming under the head of "the pursuit of happiness." In theory, taking college textbooks on economics and political science for authority, the integration is about as complete as words can make it. In the operation of human affairs, despite the fact that lip service is rendered the concept of inherent personal rights, the tendency to call upon the State for the solution of all the problems of life shows how far we have abandoned the doctrine of rights, with its correlative of self-reliance, and have accepted the State as the reality of Society. It is this actual integration, rather than the theory, that marks off the 20th century from its predecessors.
— The Rise and Fall of Society by Frank Chodorov
In this version of statism, we can highlight multiple characteristics of what the modern term of statism encompasses.
It is a part of the political structure.
The people are dependent upon this political structure for every facet of their existence. Everything is provided by this political structure everything needed to exist is provided by the state — from food to health, communications to education, and everything in between.
Inherent personal rights become nothing more than sound bites that sound good and are wholly abandoned by the political structure.
Self-reliance no longer exists.
The political structure defines society and its rules. Society no longer controls the political structure.
Freedom is viewed as a gift given by the government to a subservient and obedient population. We are a democracy after all (in the eyes of the left), governed by social attitudes and whims as they change by popular consensus. What people fail to realize is that democracy leaves little room for a Bill of Rights or even inherent rights. If "We are the government," then the majority 51% rules. Laws may be changed haphazardly at the urging of the next enlightened educated idiot. There are no fixed set of rules. No ethical standards. No defining morality.
The individual, as individual, simply does not exist; he is of the mass.
- The Rise and Fall of Society by Frank Chodorov
Individualism is ultimately erased. Persons are assimilated into the collective. All individual thought, personal achievement, and questioning minds are squashed in the name of social acceptance and political governance for the common good. That governance for the common good will come in the form of taxes, subsidies, welfare, monopolies, and unelected rulers. Dependency is the ultimate goal. Can you say George Orwell's 1984?
Statism For The Common Good
Government control of a country’s economy — any kind or degree of such control, by any group, for any purpose whatsoever — rests on the basic principle of statism, the principle that man’s life belongs to the state.
— Ayn Rand
The end goal being that political ideology morphs into "a state of mind that does not recognize any ego but that of the collective. For analogy, one must go to the pagan practice of human sacrifice: when the gods called for it, when the medicine man so insisted, as a condition for prospering the clan, it was incumbent on the individual to throw himself into the sacrificial fire. In point of fact, statism is a form of paganism, for it is worship of an idol, something made by man. Its base is pure dogma. Like all dogmas this one is subject to interpretations and rationales, each with its coterie of devotees. But, whether one calls oneself a Communist, socialist, New Dealer, or just plain "democrat," one begins with the premise that the individual is of consequence only as a servant of the mass idol. Its will be done." (The Rise and Fall of Society by Frank Chodorov)
Statism is ultimately a form of collectivism. As such, the standard of moral rests solely within the group and not within the individual. If the group decides that society would be better benefited by you being thrown into the volcano, then in to the volcano you will go. It is for the common good, after all.
But Devolution! The Military Is The Only Way!
Devolution is a complicated topic that was brought on by Jon Herold (Patel Patriot). Simply put, Jon posits the idea that the military will step in through a set of laws called continuity of government and restore President Trump as our president and our constitutional republic. During this process, the Constitution of the United States and three branches of government will be suspended until a transition of power can take place.
Freedom disappears, ladies and gentleman, when people become dependent upon the state or upon a dictator or upon a king or upon a lord for their very existence, for their job, their clothing, for their food. When this happens, people, without even realizing it, have become enslaved.
— Milton William "Bill" Cooper
Well, what about when they rely upon or become dependent upon the military for their very salvation and freedom?
Did you ever wonder why the United Nations military is called peacekeepers?
— Milton William "Bill" Cooper
The United Nations military are called peacekeepers due to the fact that they eliminate all dissenting opinions. After all, what is the first thing that happens when dictators take power?
The first thing socialist and communist regimes do when they gain the reins of power is to execute the intelligentsia that brought them to power.
— Milton William "Bill" Cooper
In short, they start arresting, passing judgment on, imprisoning, and executing people. What is the first thing that is supposed to happen with Devolution? The military is supposed to arrest deep state actors, give them military tribunals, and execute them or imprison them in Gitmo. If slavery is defined as a lack of lawful recourse for political injustice, what lawful recourse would those executed have? If what we do defines us, if we are judged by our character and our actions, then are we no better than our oppressors if we subvert the same laws they wish to subvert? What do we become then? Would we still be a free people sounding the bells of liberty? Or would we become the cruel dictatorship and regime?
And what of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights? Would they ever be returned to us?
When you accept a benefit from a benefactor, you give away some of your rights. For the benefactor has a right to dictate the manner in which you use the benefit.
— Milton William "Bill" Cooper
If the end result is the same, then we are no better than those in the World Economic Forum and the New World Order.

@mgshow sent me - great work
Great article Elizabeth! Until about 5 years ago, I did not understand the concept of a Hegelian Dialectic. If any here are as unfamiliar as I was, it was a concept formed by the German philosopher Hegel, an atheist, regarding the cycles of history leaving out any explanations involving the Creator God. What he saw were groups of people holding a particular world view (the Thesis) and an opposing group holding an opposite world view (the Antithesis). The mutual animosity between the two groups escalates over time until it erupts from verbal to kinetic warfare, and Thesis and Antithesis are mutually destroyed but out of the ashes of the conflict arise an amalgamation of the two concepts called Synthesis. Synthesis becomes in time the new Thesis and as a result a new Antithesis arises and the cycle continues unabated. Karl Marx took the Hegelian Dialectic and realized it could not only be used as a way of looking at history but more importantly, be used as a tool to shape the future by actively forcing both the Thesis and the Antithesis on the public mind, people choose sides, and the sides go to war while the "Designers" of the conflict sit back and direct the end result toward whatever "Synthesis" they desire. In the end, "We The People" end up as Pawns in their game. Much more could be said on this and in no way am I an expert on it, but continually learning to fit the puzzle pieces together.
4 years ago, I was an eager learner of the concept of Q. But the more I read regarding the mindset of the Q followers, the more it seemed to me to be the Antithesis to the Progressive Left's Thesis. It left me with the uncomfortable feeling that the followers of Q were being played by the same forces that were arming the Left and that the end result of either winning would be the loss of freedom for the individual.
For those who wish to study farther, research who financed both the Allies and the Axis during World War II. They were the same entities. Hegelian Dialectic.
