The jobless (and there will be many) could be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts (indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely the financial institutions helping to drive this great reset. It is a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture, tradition and practices virtually overnight. And many of those cultures, traditions and practices relate to food and how we produce it and our deep-rooted connections to nature. The great reset includes farmerless farms being manned by driverless machines, monitored by drones and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds for industrial ‘biomatter’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food. What will happen to the farmers? Are tens of millions of smallholder farmers to be enticed from their land in return for individual debt relief and universal basic income? The displacement of these farmers and the subsequent destruction of rural communities and their cultures was something the Gates Foundation once called for and cynically termed “land mobility”. With the link completely severed between food production, nature and culturally embedded beliefs that give meaning and expression to life, we will be left with the individual human who exists on lab-based food, who is reliant on income from the state and who is stripped of satisfying productive endeavour and genuine self-fulfilment. They think they can bring history to a close and reinvent the wheel by reshaping what it means to be human. And they think they can achieve this by 2030. It is a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture, tradition and practices virtually overnight. https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/12/own-nothing-and-be-happy-the-great-resets-vision-of-the-future/

What did Cuomo think would happen when he let all the dangerous criminals back onto the streets? We have a public safety crisis that has been created by Democrats who handcuff and villainize police, while coddling violent career criminals by eliminating bail, loosening parole and allowing them free rein in our communities. The only way we are going to get this scourge of violence under control is to throw out the Democrats who created this nightmare in the first place–starting with Andrew Cuomo.” NYGOP CHAIRMAN NICK LANGWORTHY The Democratic governor signed legislation passed earlier this year by the Legislature to end-run a federal law that will now permit New Yorkers hurt by firearms to sue gun manufacturers if they can show that a “public nuisance” was created by the sale, importation or marketing of firearms in the state. Backers say it will make a major dent in gun violence while gun rights groups say it will push some gunmakers to halt sales in New York. The new law takes effect immediately, and the bill’s supporters have said they expect the statute to end up being challenged in the courts, especially given the immunity protections the firearms industry was given in a 2005 federal law. Republican lawmakers pounced on Cuomo's ideas, saying they come from a governor who OK'd what they declared were a host of "pro-criminal" changes to the state crime laws in 2020. "The governor's declaration of a gun violence disaster is a gross abuse of his executive authority and an attempt to politically capitalize on a problem that he helped create," said State Sen. George Borrello, a Sunset Bay Republican. On Tuesday, Cuomo said long-term solutions to gun violence are needed, such as better housing and job opportunities in low-income neighborhoods that might, for instance, keep young people from joining gangs. He said the violence involving firearms “is a major civil rights issue today,” noting that Black people are 10 times more likely to be victims of gun violence than white people. The governor’s plan includes the creation of a new office of gun violence prevention within the Department of Health and expanded reporting of incidents of illegal firearms incidents in major cities of the state. (Do you know what it means if the state can attack your rights as a CIVIL RIGHTS issue or a PUBLIC HEALTH issue? It means your Constitutional Right becomes a PUBLIC NUISANCE!!) Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-22 “Governor Cuomo’s latest “state of emergency” is a total farce. It’s yet another politically motivated stunt designed to increase his own executive powers at the expense of our Constitutional rights. “Governor Cuomo is right about one thing: crime is on the rise. From Utica to Binghamton, violence is soaring and the New Yorkers I represent are deeply concerned. But the root of the problem isn’t with law-abiding gun owners or reputable manufacturers like Remington Arms, a staple of the Mohawk Valley for more than 200 years. The problem is with Albany’s radical politicians who are targeting hardworking New Yorkers and inexplicably tipping the scales of justice in favor of criminals. Gerard Kassar, New York State Conservative Party chairman “There’s a ‘Disaster Emergency’ in New York — and not the one Andrew Cuomo is fabricating to create a political distraction from the ongoing crime wave. “The real disaster is the liberal, pie-in-the-sky criminal justice ‘reforms’ that Mr. Cuomo and his Democrat colleagues have forced on New Yorkers over the past three years. The resulting crime surge is as unconscionable as it was predictable. “What did Mr. Cuomo think would happen when cash bail, broken window policing, and stop-and-frisk were all abruptly ended? What did he think when police budgets were slashed? Did he think criminals would go on vacation? “Mr. Cuomo’s solution, once again, is to threaten the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding New Yorkers rather than address the actual issue of criminal behavior. “We know how to crack down on crime — two Republican New York City mayors proved it — but Mr. Cuomo seems more concerned about appearing ‘woke’ than he is about crime victims. How terribly progressive. How terribly sad.”

So the hundreds of critics on the Conservative and pro-gun side, who have read all of his plans, are all just flapping their gums when they warn us how this is a plan to attack gun rights, regardless of what he says? Cuomo and the Democrats in NY state created this problem. To trust the "solution" they are proposing is insane, especially when we can all look back on a long history of anti 2nd Amendment legislation that was touted as "crime control" but only attacked responsible gun owners. Nothing Cuomo says regarding gun laws can be trusted and the details in this law leave large areas for abuse of power. Like the "Safe Act" which made nobody safer from criminals, and every gun owner more threatened by the state government, this proposed gun control agenda's details show no promise to reduce crime, and a lot of opportunity to destroy more gun rights, including the destruction of the people who manufacture them. I don't know what some people are getting out of what they are reading in Cuomo's plan, but whatever it is, it isn't the truth.

Actually the intent is to sue them for billions and put them out of business. This is not hyperbole. That is their intent.

Stop using the term "gun violence". As if guns caused violence. If all guns disappeared from the planet, would violence disappear? Of course not. Violence in any form is bad, and if all guns disappeared violence would probably increase. I notice everywhere Constitutional carry has been approved, crime drops like a rock. Guns are not the problem, no matter what BS Andy pushes. The fact he pushes any executive order aimed at guns proves he isn't concerned about fixing the problem. He's concerned about eliminating guns. Most states that have fixed their crime problems have found a very simple fix for it. They stopped voting for Democrats. This is where you will learn how this will affect responsible gun owners. "The Democrat said he’s launching an office on gun violence prevention to collect data from the state’s major police departments. And he said a new Governor’s Council on Gun Violence Reduction will come up with recommendations to address gun violence."

Nancy Pelosi was visiting a primary school in Tampa and visited a grade four class. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mrs. Pelosi if she would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.' So our illustrious Democrat asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'. One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy." "No," said Pelosi , "that would be an accident." A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explained Pelosi . "That's what we would call great loss." The room went silent. No other child volunteered. Pelosi searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher held her breath. In a quiet voice he said: "If the plane carrying you was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaimed Pelosi , "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says Johnny, "It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss ... and you can bet your sweet ass it wouldn't be an accident either!" The teacher left the room
