The Attempted Communist Coup #13: The American people seem shockin...

Globalism, Deep State, Marxism...call it what you will - it is all the same - and, as Peggy Ryan pointed out this morning on American Thinker, the "Leftists are carrying out a carefully planned, well executed plot to take control of our government."

"And those who incite sick minds with images of a bloodstained decapitated head of the president, and cheer Central Park productions of 'Julius Caesar' with the assassinated Roman Consul made up to look like the president, cannot evade moral culpability." (Patrick Buchanan)

Radical Left Wing Terrorism : Will the leftist media disavow?

I couldn't sleep last night, so I gave up at 3:00 AM and got out of bed, got the coffee started, turned the computer on, and started reading my usual conservative websites. It was pretty much "business as usual" until I ran into this:

We are watching, in real-time, a palace revolution, an overt effort to remove the president of the United States. Just as James Comey proudly admitted he leaked privileged communication to the press, so these insurgents brazenly brag that they want to harm the president, to impeach him, to overthrow our government. The American people seem shockingly oblivious to the looming danger. (Peggy Ryan)

You'll understand why I felt vindicated - I'm not the only one who sees what's going on and agonizes because most Americans don't seem to care.

Ms. Ryan ascribes not only a motive for what's going on, but a method as well:

How did we get here? Well, let's give credit where credit's due: the left has its ducks in a row. Leftists are carrying out a carefully planned, well executed plot to take control of our government...they're using a form of behavior therapy, systematic desensitization, to numb the American people to their insurgence.

As Wikipedia explains, there are "three main steps ... identified to successfully desensitize an individual." (Whacking yourself repeatedly on the head with a hammer isn't one of them.) Let's take a look at the third:

Connect the stimulus to the incompatible response or coping method through counter conditioning. In this step the client completely relaxes and is then presented with the lowest item that was placed on their hierarchy of severity of anxiety. When the client has reached a state of serenity again after being presented with the first stimuli, the second stimuli that should present a higher level of anxiety is presented. Again, the individual practices the coping strategies learned. This activity is completed until all items of the hierarchy of severity of anxiety is completed without inducing anxiety in the client. If at any time during the exercise the coping mechanisms fail or the client fails to complete the coping mechanism due to severe anxiety, the exercise is stopped. When the individual is calm, the last stimuli that was presented without inducing anxiety is presented again and the exercise is continued.

Keeping that process in mind, please take a break, read Ryan's article, then let me know what you think.

Douglas Gibbs echoes Ryan's theory when he writes, "the violence we are seeing was in the plans all along", and follows up with, "Violence against Republicans, conservatives, and Trump supporters, even shootings of Trump supporters, has become old news. We are being desensitized."

Are we seeing a trend? Gavin McInnes echoed the though when he writes, "The left dehumanizes us with violent rhetoric." and "the whole concept of assassination has been normalized by the mainstream media."

Barron, Seth: Incitement to Violence

Democrats may be horrified by today’s attempted massacre of the GOP House baseball team by an avowed progressive, but their incendiary demands for “massive resistance” since November have been an open plea for the escalation of words into violent action. The daily repetition that President Trump is an illegitimate usurper who stole the election through collusion with foreign powers has been a hypnotic incantation in search of an Oswald: a siren call for an assassin.

Gibbs, Douglas V.: Republican Baseball Practice Shooting Only the Beginning

It turns out that a great number of extremist Democrats are actually everything the leftists accused the conservatives in America of being. The Domestic Terrorists are not from the GOP. They are Democrats. And the violence we are seeing was in the plans all along.

Violence against Republicans, conservatives, and Trump supporters, even shootings of Trump supporters, has become old news. We are being desensitized. It began with Black Lives Matter, and with the snowflakes during the presidential campaign, and has been gaining momentum ever since.

McInnes, Gavin: They Want Us Dead

The left dehumanizes us with violent rhetoric so it will be easier to kill us. They don’t want to challenge our ideas. They want to end our lives, and they are willing to do it by any means necessary. I don’t think they care if it’s a mentally ill person or a jihadi who does the killing, as long as we’re taken out. They themselves say, “The only good fascist is a dead one,” and it’s going mainstream. Plays in the park depict long, drawn-out scenes of Trump being stabbed to death. Kathy Griffin holds the president’s severed head. Rap videos play out the assassination of Trump. In fact, the whole concept of assassination has been normalized by the mainstream media.

Ricciardella, Will: HuffPo Pulls Article Calling For ‘Ultimate Punishment’ Of Trump

Fuller’s piece contained rhetoric and imagery that seems tasteless, particularly after Wednesday’s events. Fuller boldly declares in the title that “Trump must be prosecuted — if convicted in a court of law — executed.” Fuller doesn’t stop there, however, as he insists that “impeachment isn’t enough” to “drain the swamp,” and to do so means doling out the “ultimate punishment [execution]” in order to fully restore the moral compass of the U.S.

Fuller’s “ultimate punishment” is not only reserved for the president, but also for “everyone assisting in his agenda,” including Republican Reps. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and White House strategist Steve Bannon. Fuller claims that “all must face justice” by being tried, convicted and ultimately executed for treason.

Ryan, Peggy: Americans Learning to Live with Treason

How did we get here? Well, let's give credit where credit's due: the left has its ducks in a row. Leftists are carrying out a carefully planned, well executed plot to take control of our government.

Oh, it's not soldiers bursting through the White House gates to forcefully remove the president, or, as the left says, not yet. No, they're using a form of behavior therapy, systematic desensitization, to numb the American people to their insurgence.

Simon, Roger: Does Robert Mueller Want to Cause a Civil War?

What we are witnessing is a cross between "Animal Farm" and Ugo Betti's "Corruption in the Palace of Justice" as produced by Jeff Bezos. It also resembles the techniques employed during Stalin's show trials when "information" was leaked to the reliable press to assure the discrediting of defendants in advance of their testimony. Considering what we have seen in recent days, I have no doubt that some of these leakers would love to see both Trump and Kushner sent to the Gulag, if only we had one.
