Well, maybe they ought to careful about that. And ‘hoping’ for a backlash? What does the author think would happen? Any major form of crackdown and there’s quite a few that have made it plain that things can go kinetic.<\/p>\n
BLUF: That same warning should be heeded by public officials who forget we\u2019re a republic and \u201cconsent of the governed\u201d is still the order of things. \u00a0Ignoring that fact will produce a \u201crestless and rebellious\u201d electorate, too.<\/em><\/p>\n And that\u2019s just what the provocateurs in charge are hoping.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n They\u2019re Provoking Us, You Know<\/a><\/p>\n If you grew up with siblings, you know what it\u2019s like to feel provoked. \u00a0If you watch sports you\u2019ll often see visiting players show-boat to provoke the home team and their fans after they make a great play. \u00a0Provocation is such a powerful psychological tool the Bible expressly forbids it when bringing up children. Ephesians 6:4 says \u201cFathers do not provoke your children to anger\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re living in a time of great provocation directed at the American people from those in elected office. \u00a0Virtually all levels of government are barely hiding the disdain and contempt they have for the people they\u2019re supposed to serve.<\/p>\n The pandemic has given county commissioners, school boards, health directors, mayors, governors and federal officials an\u00a0emperor\u00a0complex, lording over our daily lives deciding which privilege they will or won\u2019t allow based on their whims.<\/p>\n They justify it by calling it science. \u00a0It\u2019s not. \u00a0It\u2019s provocation and it’s working for the left on many fronts in very effective ways.<\/p>\n Take for example the foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Whitmer last year. \u00a0Originally reported as a group of pro-Trump insurrectionists bent on punishing Whitmer for her aggressive lockdowns of 2020, only a year later do we learn the truth. \u00a0The men involved may well have agreed with the plot, but were set up and goaded into it by embedded federal informants.<\/p>\n Left-leaning BuzzFeed reported, \u201cWorking in secret, they (FBI informants) did more than just passively observe and report on the actions of the suspects. Instead, they had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. The extent of their involvement raises questions as to whether there would have even been a conspiracy without them.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, the events at the US Capitol on January 6th<\/sup>\u00a0have led many eyewitnesses, journalists, and at least one United States senator to ask who was involved in that day and what planning went into it. \u00a0Given what BuzzFeed reported on the Whitmer plot, is it difficult to imagine the same for January 6th<\/sup>?<\/p>\n As Revolver News summarized, \u201cIf it turns out the federal government did in fact have undercover agents or confidential informants embedded within the so-called militia groups indicted for conspiring to obstruct the Senate certification on 1\/6, the implications would be nothing short of seismic. Especially if such agents or informants enjoyed extremely senior-level positions within such groups.\u201d<\/p>\n These events are still sold by media and Democrats as organic uprisings of unhinged opposition posing a constant, present danger to our very republic. \u00a0They have been used throughout the last eight months of Biden\u2019s presidency to paint any opposition to any authority, order, or edict as potential \u201cinsurrection\u201d and wing-nuttery.<\/p>\n Any questions raised about the election, the virus, the lockdowns, the vaccine, the border and the insinuation is, \u201cWhat are you, one of THOSE people?\u201d<\/p>\n They\u2019re provoking you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parents who\u2019ve shown up at school board meetings to demand an end to teaching racism in the classroom are smugly dismissed. \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s not Critical Race Theory,\u201d they lie. \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s diversity, equity, and inclusion from the new DEI Director, you see? Who could be against that?\u201d<\/p>\n As cities watch crime spiral out of control, Democrat mayors and city councilpersons who\u2019ve supported defunding the police and prevented them from prosecuting crimes tell you it\u2019s the Second Amendment to blame for the record bloodshed.<\/p>\n Each month hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated, illegal aliens are rounded up at our southern border and distributed across the country to become permanent residents. Do you see any urgency to close the border? No, the American public is told Ron DeSantis\u2019 Florida and the vacationers at Lake of the Ozarks are to blame for another COVID outbreak.<\/p>\n Andrew Cuomo is accused of multiple counts of sexual impropriety by New York\u2019s Attorney General and the governor tells us there\u2019s nothing wrong with what he did. \u00a0That\u2019s just the way he interacts with everyone and he learned it from his mom and dad, no less.<\/p>\n Dr. Fauci admits he sent money to the Wuhan lab but insists we believe him when he says they told him they weren\u2019t creating super-viruses with the money because they told him so.<\/p>\n The CDC and the White House told us two months ago we no longer needed masks if we were vaccinated, but now insist everyone wear them again. \u00a0Children once told they weren\u2019t considered primary carriers or likely to get very sick even if they contracted the virus are once again made to mask and perhaps robbed of more time in an in-person classroom setting because teachers unions might not be ready to return.<\/p>\n Democrats are partnering with private sector companies to punish states for passing overwhelmingly popular voter ID laws \u2013 insisting voter ID is racist while at the same time demanding employees supply proof they\u2019ve taken government issued vaccines or face termination.<\/p>\n Barack Obama had planned a birthday party for himself with 700 attendees during the latest \u201ccrisis” virus outbreak in his multi-million dollar oceanfront estate despite warning the man-caused rise of the sea will destroy our coasts.<\/p>\n But perhaps the most audacious of all is Joe Biden\u2019s open acknowledgement this week that he and the CDC simply don\u2019t have the constitutional authority to extend the eviction moratorium, but he\u2019s going to do it anyway. \u00a0Further, any landlord who evicts a tenant from their property will face fines and jail time. \u00a0It\u2019s the state seizing private property. \u00a0It\u2019s shocking. \u00a0And the guy we\u2019re supposed to call president dared someone to stop him.<\/p>\n Open, naked, craven prevaricating and antagonism done on purpose with the help of a compliant media telling you it’s perfectly normal and you\u2019re to blame for the nation\u2019s ills.<\/p>\n Government agents big and small and their fascist corporate partners flexing their muscles, poking you in the chest, smiling as they call you an insurrectionist and just daring you to cross them.<\/p>\n Paul\u2019s letter to the Ephesians was written at a time when fathers were kings of their homes and wielded total, unquestionable authority.
