TARK-Drill Down on Tyranny vs. Faith; Freedom and Upcoming Election

Tyrants throughout history have tried to suppress the speech of their subjects. In response to such rulers, it was often religious leaders who communicated to their fellow humans’ views meant to inspire and correct thought and behavior. We might still have slavery or be a colony of England if pastors had failed to vigorously support truths about the links between true liberty and freedom.

Let’s back up a little. The existence of God is a demonstrable reality. However, as The Creator gave humanity free will, we are free to deny that there is a creator.

Our right to free expression is under attack from corporations exercising undue influence and control over society.

We the People should rather have faithful religious souls encouraging peaceful and patriotic exercise of our right to vote than to have corporations or the media attempt to distort, distract, depress, and diminish our right to freedom.

We are in what many call an Information Age.

However, Mark Zuckerberg has openly admitted that in 2020 Facebook thwarted the free expression of information due to government agents 'warning' them of supposed Russian disinformation efforts. What the FBI cautioned Facebook about the Hunter Biden laptop turned out to be suppressing a report that was true. That reality ought to be pinned to the front pages of every newspaper and tech platform in America until well after the 2024 election is over.

Kamala Harris’ (D) campaign has proclaimed the support of 88 current or former corporate leaders. Why, then, does her campaign issue such dire warnings about Donald Trump’s support from a fewer number of billionaires and corporate backers than she has?

My family and friends believe in free speech and religious liberty. However, there are some who believe it is acceptable to prosecute and, if possible, imprison their rivals. It is one of the most serious forms of election interference in our national history. Anyone who supports such measures ought to be ashamed of themselves and their leaders for allowing them in the land of the free and home of the brave.

Let me clarify that certain liberal ideas are not only acceptable but are important to our society’s future. This column is not intended as an anti-liberal rant or as a Luddite screed.

That said, despite exceptions, it normally isn’t liberals or leftists who are under assault in this country. It is often people of faith being intimidated by anti-God elements of the leftist culture in which the views of the faith community are suppressed.

The old Soviets, Chinese Communists, and Cuban Communists might be cheering the influence the left has achieved in the U.S., given the similar nexus between corporations, media, the education system, and tech giants. Those groups can distort reality to sway or discourage voters, and especially people of faith.

It has been said that about forty million people of faith don’t routinely vote in America. That number is madness. These people must be encouraged to vote in every election, and especially this one.

My university-educated immigrant mother publicly supported Donald Trump and convinced her husband (my dad) to support him as the best choice in 2016. Her public endorsement of Trump was featured in 2016 on the Trump website, which picked it up from a post on MHProNews. My mother is smart, strong-willed, and worried that our country could be headed down the dark path her homeland is trapped in.

Millions of immigrants like my mom would never vote for Kamala Harris or Gov. Tim Walz (MN-D) because they have seen how people like them operate. Lies are told, opponents are smeared and promises made are not promises kept.

I’m a political independent. There have been flawed, but good people from both major parties, minor parties, and with no particular political affiliation in our American Republic’s history. It would arguably be better for our nation if the stranglehold that the two major parties have created over ballot access was broken. That, however, is for future elections. In this one, that opportunity has passed.

There are things I wish Trump did or said differently. But my grandmother, a wise and educated immigrant woman who was proud to escape the clutches of fascists and communists, said “It is prudent not to judge someone until you have walked a mile in their moccasins.” That Native American proverb stuck with my father, and now me.

We should not allow Democrats and RINOs to pit us against one another so that the donor class continues to benefit from their favored candidates.

Harris and Walz are just the latest front people for the donor class.

If people of good will vote wisely and share insights such as this with others in their circle, the future for us and our children will be brighter. ##

Tamas Adrian Reza Kovach (a.k.a.: TARK) lives in Winter Haven, FL. I grew up in a home where my parents and I have been involved in the manufactured home industry and trade media. My father has reviewed this, he's L. A. "Tony" Kovach, publisher and co-founder of ManufacturedHomeProNews.com and ManufacturedHomeLivingNews.com.

L. A. “Tony” Kovach note. Perhaps unintentionally, IMHO, Tamas’ drill down above on faith vs. tyranny is a useful introduction to what Hanne Nabintu Herland said in her commentary with related analysis posted below. Dad added the illustrations.
