“Global Humanity: The Nouveau Dictatorship” By Mimi Johnson

I decided to re-visit “Chernobyl” on HBO. Americans in my generation and those before me, remember seeing it reported on the news, watching in disbelief - 1986 was a tough year. Not four months earlier, the Challenger explosion occurred, devastating the U.S., but also the globe in the midst of a continued space race.

If you have no idea what the name refers to, or if you are too young to remember it on the news, “Chernobyl” is a mini-series documenting the events in Pripyat, Ukraine, in April 1986, that led to one of the most horrific nuclear disasters thus far, in our history.

The series ebbs and flows by showing the dynamic contrasts between unsuspecting citizens and the corrupt communist Soviets who were so drunken with power, feeling that they were invincible and their science irrefutable, that they caused mass casualties and suffering reaching as far as parts of Western Europe.

It is an eerie reminder of the continued back and forth misinformation we are receiving in regards to covid-19. “Yes, trust the government scientists, they’ll always do what’s best for us.” “What could possibly go wrong?”

“Stupid people questioning the scientific deities anointed by other mortal humans. How dare you use your brains to question anything?” “Do as you’re told! Don’t you care about others? You’re a horrible person!”

This is how the Ukrainians felt as well and look what happened.  If I could ever give a concise, live action, definition of what a Dictatorship looks like, this disaster would be it.

As I’m watching and browsing Facebook, I come across posts from people on my friends list that continually refer to our country as a “dictatorship” and honestly, melancholy hits like a ton of bricks. None of you, including myself, have any idea of what true tyranny and suffering looks like, unless you’ve escaped communist and socialist dictatorships and have lived to tell your story.

Have you ever engaged people in conversations to learn what true hardships look like? Not just being poor, but being poor and frightened every single day of your life? Not targeted because of skin color, but just targeted for sport?

I continue to read posts of “friends” who claim to be so worried about the virus that they shame those who won’t wear masks, but in the same sentence, say they hope that those people die, particularly Trump supporters, and would snitch on them to ensure some punishment befalls.

What dystopian universe are we living in? Who are you to say something like that while simultaneously falsely touting being on the “right side of history.” Which is it? You’re worried about people contracting the virus and care about humanity or you want to protect only a select brood? If you don’t care about the safety of all people, you’re disingenuous and, in my opinion, a bad person.  Does that attitude sound familiar? It should, as that was many dictator’s agendas. Save only those that comply and think what I tell you to think.

How do you sleep at night knowing you’ve typed horrific rhetoric for the world to see with your name firmly emblazoned on the internet, never to be forgotten or erased? That type of attitude is exactly how the Soviets, amongst many other tyrannical governments, felt about and treated their citizens.

A true dictatorship involves instilling such fear in its citizens that they would NEVER form a march, protest, tear down statues, and attack police. They are drones, never questioning anything, not allowed free thought, and terrified to even deviate from the same path to and from home. The police would never bow to you or stand down, they would eliminate all in their way. They’d never be allowed to voice an opinion other than what is being told to them via the government.

In our society, the narrative is totally controlled by the media, not the government. In fact, in a true dictatorship, the media would be in complete alignment with the government, because it has autonomous control over the people.

You’d be taken from your home and never seen again. It is impressed upon me that Americans have so much unconsciously and consciously biased privilege, that we can’t see the reality of the amount of freedoms we all enjoy despite color or culture, even the freedom to destroy other people and their property and our own sordid history, foolishly thinking this is progress. This is regression.

The only dictatorships I see are the ones shaming and attempting to force their ideals upon others, then laugh at them, ridicule them, and want them dead, because their thoughts don’t align to theirs. I’m ashamed to be associated with anyone who feels that way, and you should be as well. That’s not the definition of democracy, that’s blatant tyranny.

I have never felt so hopeless about the trajectory of our futures. I have tried to be a bastion of reason, hoping that people would listen and analyze data smartly, not sheepishly, but alas, it has fallen on a multitude of permanently deaf ears.

Our society is being led astray by nefarious forces, having the narratives carved out for us, implanted like an evil seed, and unleashed amongst the populace. As each day goes by, those seeds germinate, causing hatred to continually sprout with no end in sight. How do we truly move forward when there isn’t a clear future to be seen? How is it possible that in the span of a couple of decades, we’ve eliminated thousands of years of evolution and act like Neanderthals toward one another? No more reason or critical thought, just victimization and violence; immediately wanting to eliminate any dissonances in thought.

The millions of people, of all faiths, cultures, and races, who died under true oppressive regimes would want more than anything to be here to tell their stories, but unfortunately were not given the opportunity. They would want to educate the masses on unity and the importance of free thought and expression, remind us how good we truly have it, and scoff at the ridiculous things we squabble about.

I don’t want to erase history, I want to be reminded of it daily. I want all to know of the countless sufferings that allow us to be the spoiled, unappreciative humans we’ve become. We’ve reached the 7th level of Dante’s inferno. How do we come back? What is the answer? I don’t claim to know many things, but a very wise person once told me, “listen and read more, talk less. Talking leads to arguing, this leads to misunderstandings, ultimately ending any peaceful means of societal balance.” I’d say listening more and talking less would be a pivotal start.

Divergent Opinions No Longer Polite Discourse

Polite debate is no longer the accepted norm in our society. The liberal left is not tolerating divergent opinions, they want them eliminated. Outrageous labels, personal threats, and even violence have escalated during what used to be polite discourse and disagreements of opinion.

We provide evidence that UN Agenda 21 does exist, yet we are “agenders.” We cite the document called Agenda 21, 40 chapters long, and the UN Agenda 21 Constitution called DICED, but that is too much evidence for the globalist crowd to digest. It is easier to attack the messenger.

We have sufficient scientific evidence that global warming is a hoax, it has been debunked many times, yet we are “climate deniers” and “flat-earthers.” We do not deny climate change and the earth is not flat.

Climate has changed constantly since recorded history and before, just ask the dinosaurs. We don’t think the much maligned CO2 is the culprit nor do we believe that we are dealing with a “man-made disaster.” We happen to believe that we are in a period of global cooling, as evidenced by lower overall global temperatures in the last 17 years as recorded by more than 30,000 temperature probes around the earth. Self-labeled progressives can’t let incontrovertible truth get in the way of power, money, and control.

Because we are fiscally conservative and believe in government accountability, we are “right wing nuts.”

Because we think that government control and surveillance violate our Constitutional rights and have gotten out of control, we are “tin foil hatters” and “conspiracy theorists.”

Since we believe that we have been taxed enough and we take to the streets to peacefully protest the excessive taxation which supports permanent welfare recipients and illegal aliens, we are “tea baggers,” a derogatory term which has nothing to do with our belief in moderate taxation or with the fact that 49 percent of Americans pay no income tax.

When we stress and argue that politicians have become Machiavellian opportunists who push amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens who have broken our laws, yet lawmakers think it must be done right away so corporations can hire cheap labor, Democrats gain new voters, and the church new converts, we are “racists” and “xenophobes.”

If we don’t believe Obamacare is the magical solution to health insurance problems, and we see clearly a disaster in the making that will ultimately change our stellar healthcare system into “Castro care,” we are “hate mongers” who don’t want other people to have health care.

If we don’t believe that Sharia Law can “coexist” with our Constitution and our legal system based on Roman law, we are “islamophobes.”

If a white person admits using racially insensitive and insulting words thirty years ago, his/her career is over and they are crucified by the MSM and big business. They become instant “pariahs” or at best “persona-non-grata.” When a black person uses the same racially charged epithets, whether addressed to a white or to a black person, it becomes career enhancement. We even throw in extra accolades and prizes for their role in the moral and verbal degradation of our youth.

If we teach our children how to hunt and kill animals to feed a family, not for sport, we are rednecks “clinging to our guns.” Yet nobody bats an eye when millions of babies are aborted and killed each year, even when born alive, it is a liberal “choice.” I sure am glad my mother did not consider my life in her womb a “choice.”

If we pray, believe in God, and attend church regularly, “we cling to our Bibles” and our religion. Belief in Mother Earth, Gaia, is highly praised, recommended, and indoctrinated in schools and by the PC police. Accommodations are made for other religions, but our soldiers cannot carry a Bible for comfort.

If we believe in traditional family and marriage defined as the union between a man and a woman, we are “homophobes.” We thus need re-educating. We must be bombarded with everything homosexual, LBGT parades, parties, Hollywood movies, sitcoms, Broadway productions, training at work to become more sensitive, classes for children on homosexual love, and workshops on how to cater to a small minority so that everybody really understands what they do behind closed doors.

When we engage in political discourse and our liberal opponents have lost the argument, they turn to anger, shouting, and hurling personally insulting epithets. When the disagreements happen to be outdoors, fights ensue which often do not end well for non-liberals. At best, cars with conservative bumper stickers are keyed from end to end. At worst, windows are smashed, owners are ruffed up, escaping with black eyes and bruised limbs, but alive.

Civility has been replaced by class warfare stoked by politicians and race-baters who make a lucrative living at keeping class division alive and the concept of “black slavery” current as if we owe perennial reparations for what has been done in the past. During history, many groups, black and white, have been abused and enslaved – perhaps we should all ask for reparations and special treatment to atone for past wrong-doings. Slavery is still practiced in some Muslim countries today yet liberals are mum about it. Progressives have yet to “free Tibet,” “coexist” with people who think and live differently, and address the genocide of non-Muslims in Darfur and the killings of Coptic Christians in Egypt.

When we disagree with the liberal/progressive ideals, we are ridiculed by the Political Correctness police, we are attacked, banned, boycotted, fired, and discredited professionally. If we dare to criticize, we are accused of “hate speech” no matter what the topic. How long before we are fined, re-educated, and/or jailed for our diverging views and opinions? Isn’t political correctness the stifling of free speech and coercive censorship?
