The Price of Liberty

No doubt we have all laughed over the situation where someone being told something puts their hands over their ears and tells the speaker, “Nah, nah, nah, TMI.” Too much information!

Well, we are seeing that among politicians around the world but especially here in the States. Not new, of course: we have such common adages as “Don’t kill the messenger” in our language. But is it getting worse?

Consider the wonderful State of Colorado and its fearless leader. Governor Jered Polis has demonstrated his wokeness and allegiance to tyrannical, totalitarian government time and time again. Now he has turned against a fellow Regressive – the Mayor of Aurora, the largest suburb of Denver. Despite video and much other evidence showing that major features of the city have been taken over by at least one Venezuelan street gang, he has said that this situation is a figment of the mayor’s imagination and that gangs do not rule anywhere or anything.

Now, we here at TPOL have other sources of information in various places. And we are told both by people in Aurora and people in Lakewood (the other side of Denver, almost up against the mountains) that it is not just Aurora that is infested by Venezuelan gangs, but Lakewood and other areas. Some of the places taken over by these “private” border-jumper immigrant thugs include upscale apartment complexes and what were once (even five years ago) upscale and middle-class shopping venues. A King Soopers store (part of the Kroger chain) in Aurora on what was once the “main street” of the city (and still is for Denver and Lakewood: Colfax Avenue) has closed because the crime rate is bankrupting the store, and employees and customers are in daily danger of their lives.

But like the Democratic (and some Republican) governors and governments of other States, those in Colorado, including the head Pervert Jared Polis, cannot admit that they are bent on turning their cities and States into just another type of Third World cesspool. Their motive? Their own greed, their own lust, for power and wealth. Their passions control them and encourage them to become parasites on the body politic. Not just ticks, capable of infecting their host with loathsome diseases, but the kind of parasites that ultimately will kill the host.

And that is exactly what is happening in States like Colorado. And Minnesota and California and New Mexico. And Oregon, New York, and Washington.

Is it any surprise that these places have secession movements. And that more and more people are seeking to escape them? But for the most part, only the productive people and companies: the welfare drones (whether corporate or government or the underclass, including more and more immigrants) stay and further spread their poison.

But they do not care, as long as they have their power and wealth – and long term, just their wealth: like kings and dictators before them, they have (or think they have) their hideyholes to retire to when the time comes. The Caribbean, the Riviera, the Gulf, Atlantic colonies, Switzerland, and other locations all have and will have these. Once they have so polluted the Stateside locations, whether we are talking Aspen and Telluride or Jackson Hole or whatever.

Ultimately, self-defense against these evildoers will require going in and sanitizing those places: both inside the Fifty States and around the world. But our first priority is to preserve the small amount of liberty we still have in states like Wyoming and South Dakota and Idaho. And perhaps Texas and Florida and Alaska. And after restoring liberty in those heartland areas, retaking the other States for the cause of liberty. Not just liberating apartment complexes and shopping areas in Aurora and Lakewood from immigrant gangs but from the government goons that infest them and allow the “private” gangs to run amok.

It will and does demand a high price.
