Have Liberals and Leftists Misplaced Their Minds?


I’ve at all times thought-about myself mainly a radical populist and a political impartial. Within the Nineteen Sixties I used to be a part of the Yippies, as my mentor within the New Left, Abbie Hoffman, known as us, rejecting authoritarian socialism and communism in addition to company “profit-at-any price” capitalism and imperialism. We listened to John Lennon, moderately than Vladimir Lenin. I used to be born and raised in Texas, the place I used to be closely influenced by my beloved Louisiana-born Cajun grandparents, conventional household farmers and populists within the custom of Huey Lengthy.

Ever since my early days within the Nineteen Sixties anti-war, Civil Rights, counter-culture, back-to-the-land natural and coop actions, and my a few years of doing solidarity and natural farming work in Central America and Mexico, I often agreed with many on the left when it got here to points resembling struggle and peace, imperialism, disarmament, civil rights, girls’s rights, homosexual rights, financial justice, labor organizing, environmental safety, and local weather points. However I additionally at all times felt a kinship with what I name “grassroots libertarians,” these distrustful of Institution politicians (whether or not Democrat or Republican), proponents of pure meals, pure well being, frequent sense, Constitutional rights–those believing that we want a radical decentralization of energy from nationwide and worldwide elites and company board rooms to native participatory democracy.

In 2000 and 2004 I supported Ralph Nader for President. Though Bush henchmen apparently stole these two elections with digital voting machine fraud, the Democrats didn’t have the center to problem them. In 2016 and 2020 I used to be a powerful and vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders (although Bernie was and is weak on points like pure well being and vaccine security), and totally disgusted by Clinton, Biden, and Trump alike. I recall that America’s strongest populist voice, Joe Rogan, additionally supported Bernie in 2020.

However now nearly all of liberals, leftists, and so-called progressives appear to have misplaced their minds. Progressive media that after revealed my articles have censored and slandered me and my closest allies within the “COVID Fact” motion. A 12 months in the past I co-authored what has change into a best-selling ebook with Dr. Joseph Mercola (The Fact About COVID-19), with a strong introduction by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., however not a single left-wing media outlet would interview or debate me or Dr. Mercola. In reality, so-called progressive champion Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts illegally threatened Amazon to cease promoting our ebook, inflicting us to file a lawsuit in opposition to her.

Latest polls point out that Democratic-leaning voters (way over Republicans) assist Huge Pharma and their FDA lackeys, mass media and Silicon Valley censorship, and suspension of Constitutional rights. Liberals all of a sudden have change into followers of the FBI, the CIA, “Achieve of Operate” genetic engineering, and the COVID lockdowns and mandates.

Lengthy-time left-wing sympathizer and comic, Invoice Maher, asks if the left and progressives have misplaced their thoughts.

And watch this clip from his present.

Lengthy-time progressive and champion of natural meals and pure well being, John Roulac, writes in an analogous vein.
