I already know the answer to the question asked at the beginning of Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie, Police State, about getting a knock at the door.  History is filled with fools who put up their hands and were taken away peacefully only to be never heard from again.  And we are dealing with criminal thugs of that precise nature.  We’ve seen what they were willing to do to a former President of the United States, and we have witnessed firsthand what has happened to the January 6^th prisoners, a set-up job if there ever was one, especially after the ridiculous discussions we have been having over the last decade about the Muslim Brotherhood and Antifa not being designated terrorist organizations.  Then, finding out that angry moms at school board meetings and MAGA supporters are now considered domestic terrorists by this Biden government, which is just a ghost government third term of Obama and his Marxist insurgents appointed by him to “fundamentally transform the country.”  I’ve never been much of a cop person; I wrote several books on the essential abuses of the law enforcement community and how they feed a police state mentality.  The police are a necessary part of a law and order society, but I have always had a very weary eye toward them and the giving to them so much power and armament.  I have employed police officers on several occasions, and I tried to coach them into success in life, but they were a mess as a group of people.  Their wives were over-sexed swingers, and they were players obsessed with the power to pull people over and have them perform sexual acts to get out of traffic tickets, which most of the time, the crying victims would indulge in so that their parents wouldn’t find out that they were speeding and would increase their insurance rates.  I could tell stories about such things for days.  But to say the least, I’ve seen enough to know what I will do when there is an unjustified knock at the door, which is where we are at now during this stolen Biden presidency. 

For the first six months of the Covid lockdowns, I was one of the few cars still on the road.  I never did shelter in place, and I refused to change my life in any way.  I continued as usual, but I was one of the only ones.  I actually left my home expecting a shootout at any time from a police checkpoint, so I’ve been through this scenario many more times than once.  It’s a sad state of affairs, but that’s where we are these days, and the movie Police State by Dinesh D’Souza and Dan Bongino captures it well, as most of D’Souza’s films always do, no matter what their topic is.  These aren’t our friendly neighborhood police anymore; they are unthinking “yes men” (and women) who follow orders because they are too lazy to do otherwise and hungry to abuse their power.  Kicking down doors in the middle of the night or early morning, as they have done to Roger Stone and many other high-profile characters over the last five years or so, to show they can.  How they have treated Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, General Flynn, and many other people who worked in the previous White House, nothing in this Police State movie should surprise you.  Even Dinesh D’Souza was thrown in jail for a film he did on Obama.  These are socialists in this government, and like all Marxist governments around the world, they all require a police state to enforce their policies and run people through fear to comply with their orders. 

I told lawyers how unconstitutionally unsound the lockdowns were in 2020, and I let Governor DeWine know all about it, and I was proven right in court way before they figured it all out.  And lots of judges and politicians.  Too often, by the time those idiots figure out what the law is, your life could be over with an unlawful search and seizure while you rot in jail.  I wasn’t, or won’t, put up with unreasonable search and seizure violations of the Bill of Rights.  And during that period, I realized that it was a genuine possibility.  Then, after watching Police State, which is easy to see (I’ll put a link on here to make it even easier), it was clear to me that I was likely on just about every watch list that any law enforcement agency could have, and I would never give them the optics of compliance in front of cameras or the courts that they were hoping for.  Under any circumstance, this is a terrible realization.  But it is where we are in 2023 America.  We have a police state born of Marxist insurgents who now control our legal system, and they have made their move and are cautiously poking us, hoping to nudge us into compliance before society snaps and retaliates between election cycles.  I haven’t given up on elections yet.  I believe the Constitution has many means to keep all these Marxist insurgents in check legally.  But knowing they control the legal system the way they do and are more than willing to violate the Constitution for short-term gains of media optics, then going away quietly only means your slow destruction, as we have watched happen to so many people, many of which are given great examples in the movie.  As bad as some of the stories show government abuses, I would say it’s a polite introduction to how bad the situation is.  Dinesh D’Souza is a very nice guy, and even his challenging documentaries show his pleasant personality.  The actual severity is much, much worse.  We have a Police State as bad as anything the world has ever seen.

Police State, the movie was in theaters.  I wanted to see it when it was in my area, but I couldn’t get the time through the week.  So my wife and I ended up streaming it off Rumble.  They have a means to watch it from their website, but I found the Rumble offering to be the best.  Rumble is as easy to buy and watch movies as YouTube, so that’s how I watched it.  It was around $25, which it would have cost if we had seen it at a theater, and I thought it was well worth the price.  It was a first-class documentary with great production values that introduced people to a tricky concept.  We want to like the police.  We need the police.  We need a legal system.  But if we don’t monitor the power we give them, it goes to their heads.  And suppose Marxist insurrectionists start running the law, as they do now in several district attorney regions across the country. In that case, you might find yourself on the wrong end of a knock at the door, which is unacceptable.  But a likely possibility eventually.  The Police State is an accurate movie, and it was captured well in its 2023 form by Dinesh D’Souza.  I would argue that I think Police State is a kid’s film.  But it’s probably just what people need as an introduction to how bad the situation is.  And when a criminal government like the Biden people, who are just the third term of the Obama radicalism creation of the Weather Underground, a peaceful outcome is probably not possible.  Eventually, they are going to cross the line.  If they can control elections, then they do not respect the pick of the people, as we saw when Trump was elected, then they won’t respect them in the future.  They won’t go quietly in the night, and eventually, we should all expect a knock at the door.  And when we do, you better know how you will handle it.  Police State is a good place to start that conversation with yourself.
