In a media-run state, every news cycle is an opportunity to further the regime's propaganda and reinforce the narrative.
00:00:38.260
The relentless outrage manufactured by our media overlords has become increasingly absurd
00:00:43.560
as their pool of viable candidates for the mandatory two minutes of hate continues to shrink.
00:00:52.020
which requires enemies of the people who can be flogged publicly for the amusement of the masses.
00:00:56.820
As progressives achieve near-total control, the number of real threats to their power shrinks,
00:01:03.620
so they must go to increasingly outrageous lengths to manufacture the kinds of enemies that they desire.
00:01:09.640
The latest bit of media-manufactured outrage has come in the form of a flag flown by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito
00:01:20.880
The Appeal to Heaven flag features a tall New England pine tree on a white background.
00:01:27.080
Not exactly the most controversial imagery one could imagine.
00:01:30.180
Nevertheless, progressive journalists flooded television and social media with a deluge of hysterical reports
00:01:38.120
warning that fascism was now the ruling ideology of the High Court.
00:01:43.600
The High Priests of our secular regime quickly connected the flag to the January 6th protest and Christian nationalism,
00:01:50.520
convincing millions of lonely wine ants that they are one election away from living in the Handmaid's Tale.
00:01:57.360
The Supreme Court has become a very high-priority target for the left
00:02:02.160
after losing its multi-generational domination of the institution a few years ago.
00:02:08.420
When progressives held sway, they used the judiciary body as a battering ram,
00:02:13.240
forcing through every leftist policy while laughing at the voters.
00:02:16.800
While we're often fed narratives of brave souls leading protest movements that shift public opinion,
00:02:23.520
the truth is that most of the left's cultural victories were won through judicial fiat, not the ballot box.
00:02:30.360
For all their pearl-clutching about threats to democracy,
00:02:33.180
liberals have enthusiastically overridden the will of the people using the power of the courts at every opportunity,
00:02:39.020
and have only turned on the institution because they lost control of it.
00:02:42.540
Conservatives often buy into the lie of popular will instead of focusing on the control of institutions
00:02:52.480
But the dedicated forces of the pro-life movement generated a rare moment of political realism on the right.
00:03:02.020
they realized that control of the judiciary through the dedicated actions of an organized minority
00:03:12.100
Popular education and persuasion weren't abandoned,
00:03:15.120
but activists realized that disciplined pressure carefully applied to key actors in the GOP
00:03:21.280
could reliably produce the kind of justices that would advance their interests.
00:03:26.100
When I found out my friend got a great deal on a designer dress from Winners,
00:03:35.240
Like that woman over there with the Italian leather handbag.
00:03:57.020
While a shift in national abortion law was their main goal,
00:04:01.040
the result was a Supreme Court willing to take on other leftist sacred cows,
00:04:05.220
including affirmative action in the administrative state.
00:04:08.860
Progressives were enthusiastic about the court's ability to override the will of the majority
00:04:19.380
The left has invested heavily in the ability to manipulate mass democracy
00:04:24.400
and would like to see it become the only legitimate authority.
00:04:28.360
The framers of the Constitution heavily restricted the influence of democracy,
00:04:32.860
ensuring that it would only directly select one half of one third of the government.
00:04:38.220
But over time, those restrictions have fallen away.
00:04:41.160
Democrats have deployed mass immigration, mass media, and mass public education
00:04:47.400
to ensure the rising tide of mass democracy works in their favor.
00:04:52.880
Democrats are now openly attempting to remove every constitutional impediment to mob rule
00:04:59.360
by attacking the disproportional representation meant to protect smaller states and institutions
00:05:07.180
Due to its domination of consensus manufacturing institutions
00:05:12.640
and access to an endless stream of replacement voters through mass immigration,
00:05:17.620
the left is now all-in on rule by manipulated majority.
00:05:24.520
The Supreme Court, once a stalwart ally in the quest to dismantle and remake America,
00:05:31.580
Though some quote-unquote conservative justices betray the right on a regular basis,
00:05:38.060
the fact that the court seems willing to oppose the progressive revolution at all
00:05:42.680
makes it a sinister villain in the mind of the average journalist.
00:05:46.960
With the wild allegations of secret fascism leveled at Alito,
00:05:52.380
many conservative commentators rush to explain the true history of a flag
00:05:59.800
While this reaction is understandable, even admirable,
00:06:04.980
those deep roots in the American tradition are what made the flag objectionable to the left in the first place.
00:06:13.440
Ultimately, progressives hate Alito because he serves as a stumbling block to the eternal revolution.
00:06:19.780
They can and have manufactured a reason to call him a fascist out of thin air,
00:06:24.840
but the fact that the justice holds a clear reverence for American history and identity
00:06:30.660
is further justification for hatred from a progressive movement that seeks to destroy both of those things.
00:06:37.660
While the appeal to heaven flag is steeped in American history,
00:06:42.100
it's an unavoidable fact that our history is one forged in the fires of rebellion.
00:06:50.460
the founder of classical liberalism from whom our founding fathers drew heavily
00:06:59.960
Thomas Jefferson had that very passage in mind when he enumerated the reasons for America's separation
00:07:26.780
from the bonds tying it to the British government.
00:07:31.120
It's this recognition of a liberty ordered under heaven
00:07:35.020
that progressives would like to purge from our American identity.
00:07:39.480
Progressives acknowledge no authority higher than themselves
00:07:42.840
and seek the totalitarian power to reshape not only our nation,
00:07:47.860
but mankind itself to fit their horrific vision of utopia.
00:07:52.400
The media would have found an excuse to make Samuel Alito an object of derision and hate
00:07:59.740
because he stands in the way of their glorious revolution.
00:08:06.240
