Come The Revolution

I was there. I remember. All through the early oughts, we, the insufferably, terminally plugged in wondered when this amazing new means of communication, this thing that allowed all of us to become “journalists” would pay off in elections, in public opinion, in everything.

In 2016 and definitely in the reaction to 2020 and the ridiculous gaslighting and prosecution not just of Trump but of anyone who said what we all saw happen “the results of 2020 were impossible and, oh, btw, the king is so senile he talks to invisible people and no longer knows who or what he is” we saw the first fruits.

The left brought everything they had to bear. EVERYTHING. Starting in 2016 they were a locked-in-step chorus, not just the news, but every “artist” (pardon me if I scoff) from writers to producers to everyone, all spoke with the same voice trying to convince us they had already won, resistance was futile and we were just the remnants of the lost world where truth mattered.

Ten years earlier it would have worked. Arguably it worked, in crowning Obama and whoever was really ruling for him.

In 2016 it sputtered and died. If you think it wasn’t a big surprise, go look at the news from that election, as the results came in (Always advisable if you’re down anyway.) They threw everything they could at it, in 2020. Everything. From the — What did Joe call it. I can’t remember the exact wording anymore. Besides it’s early, and I haven’t had coffee (I might not finish this before ten, but let the record show it’s six am. Gah. It’s a day like that) — the most comprehensive and inclusive fraud machine ever deployed in American politics (and hooo, boy, that’s a lot) and they managed it. Nothing short of a revolution. Then they started dismantling everything.

And yet…. and yet we’re still here, and 2024 didn’t go the way they were so sure they’d set it up to go.

Also the fraud has become — as it was for those of us who watched it all the time — obvious, glaring, in your face. (Hi, California!)

And now, now suddenly, it seems the whole world is wakening and seeing and demanding sanity, not the crazy stuff that our self-proclaimed betters force down our throats every day and claim is for our own good while making the world into hell.

What changed? Well, some of it really was just more people reading their news online, till mainstream news are the domain of the very young, the very old and the very busy and naive.

But more importantly, I realized last night, we keyboard journalists in our pajamas (to coin a phrase. Eh.) stopped simply reacting to and amplifying or picking and choosing among the main stream.

In my early blogging days almost all my blogs (and my posts at instapundit) were inspired or took from main stream news sources.

There’s still a bit of that, of course, but Epoch Times and other smaller players are a breath of fresh air. And there’s genuine individual reporting from people who are there, or involved with the thing, or know about the thing. We’ve even done some (Thank you to Larry Good for his posts on the water that Data Centers actually use, not the scary weirdness we’re being propagandized with. And thank you to other guests over the years who brought their expertise to my blog.)

However, the turbo charge is so new most of us haven’t processed the change: Twitter/x not being just an echo of the narrative and amplifier of main stream news but a genuinely free speech platform (with hickups, of course, but getting better.)

Without twitter, we wouldn’t know that Ireland is actually reacting to the outrage perpetrated on it. Or that England is taking things passively. Or that we, who aren’t on the left in the US, exist and are still fighting. Without twitter, we would be like most of Europe, where our MSM seems almost fair and balanced by comparison tot he leftist bilge inflicted on them.

And — hear me out — this is just the start. There is also, as someone has noted, a great change in the air, a great change in Latin America (of all places) and a great change in the world in general which honestly can be traced to USAID stopping financing every leftist cause around the world.

Turns out that the great and invincible left that kept pushing for world communism and fighting America as it was founded and making us feel like we couldn’t win was actually a vast paper tiger founded by our very own tax money.

We were being robbed to fund our enemies, while the media at home lied and told us to give it all up.

This, where we stand now, is just the start. The villains have started being unamasked. Some of their funding was removed. But we are only at the very beginning of a great big change.

When I was little and a young woman all the leftists said “Come the revolution.” because of course, part of their heretical beliefs is that in the end there is a communist revolution everywhere that puts them in power.

Turns out they couldn’t be more wrong. Yes, there is a revolution coming. There is a revolution, in fact, under way. But it is against the false creed the left has blared in our ears while keeping us gagged so we couldn’t protest.

This is just the beginning.

In the end, we win, they lose.
