In this episode, I address the explosive new report which has the Biden campaign scrambling for answers. I also address the troubling new evidence that the big tech companies are squashing conservative voices.
I'm pretty late to get this posted. I'm afraid that is how I will be doing this for awhile. My plan was to post Dan's best episodes until I get caught up. However, my time has been limited by all the things I needed to accomplished following 13 days without power, and 36 days without the internet and cable TV. That was the result of the derecho that hit my area back on August 10.
And there other things going on. Probably the reason that I was able to relate to this episode so well. I'm going in for a CAT on my lungs in a couple days.
As for the rest of this episode when I wasn't sniffling and drying my eyes, there is all that we have now on the Biden cabal, with Hunter's criminal mischief going on... Oh, like you know, laundering money for child trafficker's. Sounds like we might have him dead to rights.
Just watch. This episode, and everything else you can find. I may be out of commission for awhile, but hopefully not for long.
I know, Dan Bongino would prefer that I embed the Rumble.com video here. However, I'm a little nervous when it comes to using Rumble's java script embedding code in my blogs, so that is why I'm still using the YouTube embedded video of the episode so you can see it here on this page. That being said, here is the link to the video of this episode so that you can watch it on Rumble.com.
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the ongoing suppression of science in an effort to advance liberal coronavirus narratives. We are entering a troubling new era of anti-science because of the media and the left. I also address a media report showing the profound troubles with mass mail-in voting.
This was the kind of episode that Dan Bongino gives us that drives me to keep on working, and definitely, to share his videos of his shows. I was very stoked after seeing this show today (only a few days late).
One of the main segments was about mail in voting, and what a mess that would be. There was an experiment done by a TV station news reporter that will open you eyes as to why mail in voting could end up in chaos. To quote a youtube commenter on the video, "Vote by mail is just another way for the democrats to cheat." Yes, it is exactly that. Not to mention, all the court fights to overturn laws that require valid ID to vote. Make no mistake, election fraud does take place, as Dan will provide the receipts (evidence).
And then, the unexpected occurred during the show, something most of us know about by now: Dan announced that Herman Cain passed away. Yes, Dan's reaction was exactly the same as mine when I found out last Thursday, July 30, that Herman had died of complications from Covid-19. As Dan mentions, he had met Herman Cain on a trip over to Israel. I was also lucky enough to meet Herman at a private meet-and-greet with about 30-40 other Conservative Republican folks here in my area, on April 19, 2011. Yes, as Dan says, he was a really good guy. He had a fantastic sense of humor. I am sure many of you have had a lot of chances to see him on Fox News on many occasions. Herman was a "for real" guy. There was no doubt that I wanted him to be our Republican candidate for the 2012 election. He definitely was much better than who we ended up with to be the GOP nominee!
It's just my opinion, but I do believe that what Herman was accused of that made him drop out of the race in December of 2011, did not happen. We probably could guess who funded - I mean "found" - the women that accused Mr. Cain. I think that the Obama officials knew that Herman Cain could beat Barack Obama in 2012. Yeah. Those guys, the ones that lied about Benghazi, spied on the Trump campaign (Spygate), along with the "Fast and Furious" operation and many other scandals.
Now, back to the show. I had to watch a few parts again, to make sure my brain was embedded with the information I received in this episode. There was definitely a segment that was very relative to the title of this episode, "The Media Wants to go Back to the Dark Ages." Dan had it perfectly correct. He nailed it. Some of us will take the time to examine the data and make our own conclusions (right or wrong). We just don't need the media to make our decisions for us.
There is more. Much more that you should be sure to see. If the block about some teacher's unions not wanting to open schools back up doesn't get you... Well, it should, if you're a serious thinker. But, in a way, I'm kind of pleased, as they are showing their true colors, regarding how much they care for the students. No, like Dan, I know that most teachers are the greatest. It is the unions that aren't so much. And that will be to the detriment of teachers, possibly, because parents WILL find alternatives to educate their children, such as with homeschooling, charter schools, and private schools. So, for the teachers, I stand with you all, but you may have to tell your unions to let you do your thing, and teach!
Please enjoy the episode! I never know when this privilege to share Dan Bongino Show episodes with you will end. I hope, NEVER!

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the stunning connections emerging between the multiple plots to take down President Trump. I also address the latest propaganda efforts by the terror-group ANTIFA. I discuss an astonishing UFO story that has managed to escape wider scrutiny.
It has occurred to me a few times... Why am I still doing this? Does, or did, writing my commentary on various social media sites, or my blogs, ever result in any monetary compensation? Nada. Zilch. In fact, it would have been great to be able to use all my expenses to be online and replacing computers, to nullify any revenue, had there been any. Really, I do this for just one reason. And I don't quit, because I am in this to win this! And yes, I lose a lot of the battles in a way, like when I write a blog and it gets very few views, (happens to me all of the time!), but that doesn't ever stop me from believing that the war can still be won.
Well, besides something else I caught in this episode, Dan said some things that were important to me, to help me see why I have to keep on going in this endeavor. Like Dan says, talk is cheap, you just have to "do stuff!" Okay, this was one of those times where I felt Dan was talking directly to me. It is now Friday night, I'm here watching his show, finding out that we're right on the same page, though I am still about 3 days behind. He is still telling me about things that I have thought about, without seeing this episode until today. And I needed this one today. It helped me realize that I am "doing stuff!"
It's funny that Dan talks about the UFO study toward the end of the show today. Another link to things that have unfolded in my life. Well, twenty years ago, I found myself learning about the New Age movement. NOT because I was in favor with it, but I wanted to understand our enemy. Yes, I said that right. First of all, I'm not talking about the "aliens." (That would probably come off as racist, being that they aren't part of the human race, and look different than us... You know, grey skin, long skinny neck, bug eyes, and hardly any mouth... I digress.) But I dedicated a lot of time, checking out various stories. I even started a website that was going to be dedicated to the subject, until I realized it was somewhat bogus.
There were so many things about the possible alien presence in our midst, and the way the New Agers were telling us that we could have free energy, space travel, and cures for all that ails us, well shoot, who wouldn't want that? That is when I learned that the New Agers ARE the Liberal Left. It's kind of funny, being that it's based on the belief by liberals that there is some kind of "shadow government" as they call it, while they criticize the Conservatives for thinking there is "deep state."
As Dan says, right now, it's about "doing stuff." I am, and it isn't always easy. There are those days when I am running on empty, but still find a little fuel at the bottom of the tank. I plan to refuel over this weekend, however. A little barbeque there, and a firepit here. And sending out prayers to many people, in sorrow for those we have lost. And because I have met him, and he was a great man, I'll be thinking about Herman Cain, who we lost.

In a new feature here on Blogging In Our Time 2 Escape, this blog will now be including videos that I have recently posted on the johnny2k's America Facebook page!
You may be wondering why my effort to keep this blog fluid has dwindled down to a trickle, to the point where I only added one post in July, and only this one so far in August. I want to address that issue before I get to the subject of this WIFLI Briefing of extraordinary importance.
Call it a sabbatical. I've been working on several projects that has been keeping me busy. I've started a new Facebook page, called johnny2k's America, that is doing very well. Part of the content of the page is from videos that I have uploaded to the page, which tends to take a lot of time. The other project that I have taken on is that I'm very active on my friend's group, Politics and Other Daily Bull. Yes, there are some very rewarding benefits to being active on the social networks like Facebook. The viral affect always seems to be exponential. The more we do for others seems to always come back to increase the results of our own efforts. Yes, that is the way it works. It didn't take a government agency or project to teach me that principle of success. So, Mr. President, that is where you are wrong.
There has been no doubt in my mind that building social networks is crucial when it comes to developing the credibility to attract more viewers. With limited time on my hands, I've found that it is a good thing to have Twitter andFacebook accounts that are active. Most of my efforts lately were directed toward the potential that I have found with Facebook and Twitter activity.
I really felt the need to explain my recent absence on this blog. The last thing that I want anyone to think is that I've decided to call it quits. No way! I've only just begun! Because of my understanding of the social networks, I'm discovering the true magic of multiplying our time by finding like-minded friends, and finding out that they virally proliferate the message that we are "collectively" trying to spread!

By now, I'm pretty sure you want to know what this edition is all about. Hopefully, you haven't lost your interest quite yet... Oh, good. You're still here... Because, folks, there is that question that we must keep right on top of our agenda that we talk about everyday: "Who's in the White House?"
The truth is, I had most of the content for this column picked out and ready to post several weeks ago. But something held me back. I wasn't sure that it would be wise to bring up the "Is Obama Constitutionally eligible to be President" question at this time. It almost sounded like a desperate attempt to salvage what may have seemed like the presumptive GOP nominee, Mitt Romney, wasn't able to win without something that would make Barack Obama look bad.
No matter what comes out about Obama and eligibility between now and election time, it will have very little influence on the final results. You have seen how the "birthers" have been disparaged in the media. Their (the "birthers") objectives to protect the Constitution seems to have been ignored and berated. I really didn't want to fall into the trap, their trap, to make the bloggers that mention the eligibility questions and looking like a conspiracy theorist somewhere out on the extreme right-wing fringe. And of course, from there, the rhetoric would devolve into the "birthers" being labeled as racists because we brought up something bad about the first Black President.
Mitt's choice for VP:
REP. PAUL RYAN (R-WI)
But, now? It has all changed! Something happened this last weekend that told the Conservative base of the Republican Party that Mitt Romney was not just another milquetoast GOP establishment candidate. Mitt wants to win! He really is serious about wanting to win! Mitt Romney made a courageous choice for who his Vice President will be. And Mitt Romney has now defined the difference between the two parties and their candidates.
It did not take long for Conservatives to realize the bold choice that Romney made in picking Paul Ryan. I was sensing the gigantic, giga-watt spark it seemed to provide those of us that were feeling very little optimism about a GOP win so we could fire the Obamaniac.
Yes, it has all changed over the weekend. And I could sense the major panic among the Leftist supporters of the Obama regime. The Democrat/Obama minions, his operatives, like Debbie Wassername Schultz, came out of the woodwork to say that they were happy about the Paul Ryan pick for the VP side of the GOP ticket. They were saying that it shows how extreme the GOP ticket will be. That's truly a sign of their desperation at this moment.
And then it hit me. As bad as it is getting already, with the Democrat sliming machine running at full throttle now, how bad could it get if it is close to election time, and the Romney/Ryan GOP team has a chance to win? Is it possible that Obama would be so desperate to remain in power that he would do something very sinister, such as to create a crisis so that there is an excuse to postpone the election? What would happen if the Constitution of the United States was thrown under the bus in order for Obama to remain in power?
To what length would Barack go to stay in power?
And in this edition of the WIFLI Briefing, we must ask ourselves to what length that We the People should go in order to stay free? I'm just sayin'...

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!
What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

The lead story that you will see below may not have seemed plausible before, which was most of the reason I held up posting this WIFLI edition. However, it now makes sense to ask who is in the White House. It may be time to ask ourselves who Obama will ultimately give his allegiance to: We the People? I think not!
I had to include this story, as I have had questions about what the President would do if it looked like he was going to lose, long before Doug Hagmann's column was written back in July. And being that it is looking more and more like Israel will end up in a military conflict with Iran and her allies, a crisis beyond our comprehension that could commence at any time, and very possibly before November 6.
My source looked at me and posed a question I did not expect: "Do you know who is in the White House?” I was uncertain if he meant who was present there now, or if he was talking in a more general sense knowing that he has followed my research on Barry Soetoro (a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama II), so I asked him for clarification. I thought it was a fair request. With that, he became visibly agitated and had a look in his eyes I’ve never seen before. “You can’t answer that [expletive deleted] question. Trust me, few can, and those who can won’t, because they’re either part of the ‘royal round table’ or they’re gutless [expletive deleted].”
Based on his agitated state, I was careful with what I said next. I told him that we’ve covered this matter very comprehensively, adding that Obama’s dog’s papers are more valid than Obama. I told him that he was correct in that we both know that we do not know Obama’s legal name or his actual parental lineage I began to verbally list the various inconsistencies with his identify, at which point he stopped me with a raise of his hand.
“Enough,” he stated and apologized for his previous outburst. “We both know the guy is a an imposter, a ‘Manchurian Candidate,’ and he’s there to do a job, implement a very specific agenda. And he’s not planning to leave until that job is done, the agenda completed,” stated my source. “It’s no accident, his lack of history, lack of bona fides. It’s all about his lack of allegiance to our country and the Constitution that ‘43’ called just a ‘G-d damned piece of paper.' And Bush was an American President, at least on paper. Where does Obama call home? Where does his allegiance lie? That’s what the eligibility brouhaha is all about and why it’s so important, but 'hardly anybody gets it.' When he said he was a citizen of the world, those were not just words, but an admission of sorts. And fundamental change and transformation, that’s what it’s all about.”
... Jumping forward ...
The Plan
“Look,” stated my source, “I’ve been told that the people with the real power are using the guy in the White House to implement the whole globalist power structure thing. They made certain that they had someone in the White House to go along and implement certain things by executive order, appointments, and other methods to bring about the deconstruction of the U.S., and making our Constitution irrelevant, or at least subservient to international law. I can’t say I know this for sure because it’s all second hand, but it makes sense from my perspective at DHS,” he added.
“Remember when I told you about DHS planning a response for chaos, civil war, rioting, insurrection or whatever you want to call it? Well, that’s not happening fast enough, and there are people who don’t think it can be accomplished in one term. That’s why a second term is critical, and that’s why there’s desperation sinking in. Napolitano is corresponding a lot with the White House, to Valerie Jarrett, to the Secret Service, and to others I won’t name. But there is some plan in place to assure the reelection of this guy so he can finish the job he was given,” he said.
“We’re talking about something taking place to make sure that Obama stays in office. I’ve been privy to ‘contingency plans’ ordered by Jarrett for one that defines the protocol for DHS response to the ‘temporary suspension of U.S. elections due to international and domestic crisis.’ It’s a real document, ordered by Jarrett and contains plans for travel restrictions, gun possession ban by citizens, and in general, ‘martial law.’”
“You know, I heard rumors about the same thing under Bush and laughed, calling it conspiracy nonsense. Now I’m not so sure, and think that maybe it was just too early and the wrong person. Anyway, I’m not laughing anymore.”
Remember these words: "It's not about what he has DONE. It's about what he's going to do NEXT." You will understand why those words are so important when you see the video trailer for the new book, "Fool Me Twice," below.
A video trailer released yesterday on Youtube.com and spreading across the Internet introduces an explosive election book that will reveal President Obama’s specific, devastating plans for the next four years.
“[The Borg] operate toward the fulfillment of one purpose: to ‘add the biological and technological distinctiveness of other species to “their” own’ in pursuit of ‘perfection.’ The concept of perfection is the unifying idea at the core of the Borg. … This is achieved through forced assimilation, a process which takes individuals and technology, enhancing and controlling them.” [Emphasis added.]
It isn't just political rhetoric when it comes to explaining difference between the two political sides; Republicans vs Democrats, or really, more like Conservatives vs Progressives. It is all about eliminating the existing ignorance about what each side wants, that we must keep the contrast in the forefront of the debate prior to the election. And who better to define their sides better than the candidates? They are both doing well in that department. Here is a story about Barack Obama's plan for us:
It was Saturday night. The air was hot and sticky, and my husband was covered with sawdust and sweat after a long day of working in our wood shop. It’s the busy season for our home woodcraft business, and putting in 70-hour work weeks isn’t unusual.
That kind of work schedule is why he became spitting mad at something he heard on the radio. “President Obama made a speech in which he said, ‘If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. … If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen’!”
This is NOT the kind of thing a self-employed man needs to hear after a 14-hour workday.
The gist of the speech, we learned, is that no business owner can take credit for his or her successful enterprise. We must remember the teachers who influenced us; and more importantly, we must give credit to the government that built the roads and bridges and the Internet and other infrastructure that made any success possible.
Now, don’t get me wrong – I don’t know a single business owner who isn’t grateful for the support structure underneath him. We’ve all had people who have positively influenced our business efforts: parents, teachers, friends, mentors, bosses. … But we’ve also had those who have detracted from our business endeavors: tax collectors, bureaucrats, regulators, pencil-pushers and administrators (almost every one of them from the government) whose sole purpose is to make our business accomplishments more complicated, expensive and difficult.
Obama – a man who has never started a business or made payroll or taken entrepreneurial risks – dares to claim that without government infrastructure beneath our feet, we could not achieve success. His attitude is typical of progressives who insist that The Village must be given credit for anyone’s individual accomplishments.
In the following column, David Limbaugh amplifies on the message in the Patrice Lewis column above, when he reflects on the anti-business nature of Barack Obama:
Obama has few people with business experience in his administration. He has no former CEOs in his Cabinet, and there is almost no top-level private-sector experience among his inner circle of advisers. Time magazine’s Fareed Zakaria, a liberal and a big fan of Obama’s, admits that even the business leaders who voted for Obama believe he is, “at his core, anti-business.”
George Buckley, CEO of 3M, said: “We know what his instincts are. … He is anti-business.” Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts, said: “This administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And I can prove it. … Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America.”
Even Obama’s attacks against Romney are mostly grounded in Obama’s antipathy toward Romney’s success in business and Obama’s innate hostility toward the private sector.
Obama’s punitively anti-business policies have made it very difficult for businesses to flourish and for job growth to occur. His anti-business attitude and rhetoric have poisoned the market that much more.
If and when Obama is defeated in November, we should anticipate an explosion in business and entrepreneurial activity among ordinary Americans who realize they’re about to be liberated from the most anti-business president in our history.
"President Obama, I feel your pain. You were in way over your head when you essentially became the CEO of the largest economy in the world.
You had less business experience than a seven-year-old girl running a front-yard lemonade stand."
In this piece, Michael Reagan expounds on Obama's constant demonization of the rich business owners, giving new meaning to, "There you go again." Could the class warfare strategy be something that completely backfires for Obama's re-election effort? Let's hope so.
There you go again, Mr. Obama -- again and again and again, engaging in class warfare.
Trying to make voters think Mitt Romney cares more about the offshore bank accounts of the wealthy than the pocketbooks of the middle class.
Proving for the umpteenth time that you know nothing about economics, how wealth and jobs are created or why businesses and rich people are moving themselves or their money overseas to escape the taxes you think aren't high enough.
"There you go again, Mr. Obama."
That's what my father would have said to the president's latest dumb idea to punish rich and successful Americans by raising their taxes.
"Mitt Romney got rich because he is smart and he works hard. That makes him pretty darn cool, in my book. Those of you who resent the rich: Get over it and study how they did it. Along the way, you’ll discover that the rich not only pay most of the taxes, but in all likelihood they pay your paycheck, too." ~ Herman Cain
And Herman has it right. It seems like Obama and his minions on the left not only refuse to give those that built their businesses any credit, they are making sure that entrepreneurs are being chained down by taxes and regulations, and potentially the Obamacare monstrosity. I think that Herman Cain did very well to disclose the perfect storm that will face our economy with four more years of Obama.
Rich is cool Herman Cain: Stop resenting wealthy people, and figure out how they became that way From WND Commentary ~ By Herman Cain ~ Published Jul 22, 2012
HERMAN CAIN
He's rich, and he's cool!
If the polls are any indication, it hasn’t worked, but the Obama campaign spent big money over the last month attacking Mitt Romney for what it apparently believes is the worst sin imaginable: He is rich.
And as we know now (not that it was a big surprise), President Obama’s disdain for those who have earned substantial wealth runs deep. He doesn’t like you having all that money (unless you contribute it to his campaign), and he really doesn’t like you taking credit for having earned it. That’s why he said the following:
“Look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”
As far as Obama is concerned, anyone who is successful got that way because of the system, by which he means the government. Democrats sometimes refer to the rich as “the winners in life’s lottery,” which is to say they merely got lucky in a game of chance – and that’s why they need to fork over so much of their wealth in taxes, so Democrats can “spread the wealth around” to all those other smart, hardworking people, who just didn’t happen to win life’s lottery.
What a load of cr-p. To listen to these people, you’d think being rich was the worst thing anyone could do.
I want to show you my new friend's video to conclude this WIFLI edition. Virginia Prodan, as you will read and see below, knows what it was like to live in a country that allowed no freedom to express her religious beliefs.
And you see, I am one that is beginning to believe that the United States of America is quickly headed in a direction - a "transformation" - that should the desires of Obama and his supporters (followers) be realized, in four more years, we certainly could be living in the same kind of nightmare that Virginia had to endure.
Virginia Prodan was an attorney in Communist Romania under the rule of Nicolae Ceausescu. She became a target of the Securitate, Romania's secret police, when she became a Christian and began fighting religious persecution in that country. She was granted political asylum by the Reagan Administration in 1988, and currently practices law in Dallas, Texas.
Assuming that we do have an election in November, I am hoping that you will be informed by then, and be aware of the differences between the candidates. Don't even try to tell me, ever, that there is a fuzzy line between the parties and candidates. No, the line is extremely vivid, more than it has ever been in the last few decades (since Reagan vs Carter).
By November 5th, it would be frightening should any one pull a lever for a candidate without realizing the importance in determining how we will live in America in the near future. You know, like financial freedom where you determine what you do, or financial "security"where the government is the nanny that decides how you will live.
And please understand that I know I'm not supposed to say anything like this, but I will anyway: I have this feeling, deep inside me, that the present administration will resent the thought of losing power enough that anything goes. Martial law, including the elimination of people that are willing to fight for freedom. Some of us are going to desire to live free, or die. If I ever do "disappear," it won't because I wanted to. I'm just sayin'....
You may have noticed that I haven't been very active here lately. I'll explain that here, eventually, so please just bear with me for a little bit. First, though, I have a story to tell you.
What I heard on Sunday night, July 15, really had to be a wake up call! I thought I knew I heard it correctly, but I needed to get the quote right to confirm that it happened. I found it. It was on the Christian Science Sentinel - Radio version: "Spiritual healing in life-threatening situations," with Diane Marrapodi, airing from July 14 – 20, 2012.
Sunday night, with my weekend just one day on the job away, seemed to be surreal. I went to bed earlier than usual, and I had a good reason to make the conscious effort of arriving to work a little early. The alarm clock was carefully set accordingly. For some reason, however, I woke up just prior to when the alarm clock was set to awaken me. I always have the alarm clock set to go off about a half hour early, so that I can hit the snooze button a couple of times. For some reason, though, the alarm was silent at the time it was set for. Since I was awake, I reset the alarm for the half hour away when I would have to get out of bed. This time, the alarm clock worked, and being that I have it so the radio comes on, I heard the words, "...wake up, just wake up!"
I told several people about that experience when I was at work that night. However, it wasn't until I started making my decisions about which stories I would include in this issue, and I found the column by Erik Rush, I knew that there was a reason I woke up as I did. Having that unbelievable alarm clock episode, with hearing those words, followed by reading Erik's column, "Tell your neighbors: Time to wake the hell up," couldn't be just a coincidence.
In the commentaries that you will find below, there is the theme that it is time to wake up. Every one of the columns are going to focus on the fact that there is an obvious contrast between the ideologies of the two parties, and ultimately, the candidates. What is exposed in this edition is the fact that it is extremely important for you - who love this country - to get out and wake people up.
A little over a month ago, I started several other projects that have consumed my time. One of the projects involves increasing my income, and perhaps replacing my current employment income someday. It has been a time consuming endeavor, and I'm glad to be taking on that challenge. The other project has been in getting a new Facebook "fan page" started, and building up a following. That project is a major part of my objective to help wake up our neighbors!
The irony is that I had to hear the "Wake up!" message on the radio before I could confidently and consciously make the effort to try to wake up any of "my neighbors." And it seems to be ironically twisted in that I decided to start a new page, Johnny2k's America, in order to share information with my "neighbors." It was twisted, because it seems to contradict the whole idea of sharing information with my neighbors to "wake them up." When I tried that on my personal facebook page, it didn't seem to go over well. Friends and relatives alike seemed to start avoiding my personal page because they didn't want to hear about politics and religion.
That's right, I was one of those people that was afraid to try to wake people up, because I was afraid I would lose some relationships that I've been trying to develop on Facebook, my virtual neighborhood. Friends or relatives, I just wasn't ready to sacrifice my connections and re-connections. Not all the people I have "friended" on facebook would agree with my ideologies.
As a "compromise," I started a new page, which is now called "Johnny2k's America." It was the best I could do to make an effort to wake people up without losing friends along the way. It was a compromise, but I don't regret it.
My conscience is clear, and I am still trying to "wake my neighbors the hell up." I'm not ashamed of my efforts. While avoiding the pitfalls of losing friends because of disagreements in ideologies, I have survived by giving my fellow patriots a way to shove a little information in the direction of those that aren't informed, without being offensive.
You should read every one of the columns and watch every one of the videos that is included in this WIFLI edition. But, even if you don't, there will be all the information you need to know to get out to inform and educate your "neighbors." Do not depend on them finding the information by themselves. The ones that really need to know what is going on may not be keeping up. Only by you being informed will you be able to reach those that haven't yet heard the Truth. The Truth will set us free, and keep us free! It is still up to you. I'm just sayin'...

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!What is WIFLI? You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

Erik Rush provides the epic introduction to this edition of the WIFLI, and explains why it is important for us to reach out to those that need to hear more than what they may ever encounter in their day-to-day existence with only the assistance of a water-cooler conversations with even more uninformed idiots...
Millions who cast their votes this November will do so believing, as they have for many years, that they have a pretty good understanding of the issues at hand. The fact is that few have any idea at all what has really transpired in America over the last several decades, nor do they understand the true nature of the forces that have conspired to make this election into such a pivotal one.
The time for having reservations over telling casual acquaintances that they need to wake the hell up is over. People have been conditioned by design to believe that their superficial perceptions can be trusted, and they tend to have a certain amount of ego-involvement in the beliefs they have cultivated around them. This can no longer be tolerated on the grand scale to which it has been tolerated; it is this kind of intellectual indolence that helped to get us where we are.
Herman Cain explains why depending on the legacy mainstream media for your news will leave you with a large deficit of information that you will need to make a good decision when you vote in November.
Today, between Fox News Channel, talk radio, leading conservative blogs and now the new CainTV.com Internet network, stories like “Fast and Furious” – or the worst aspects of Obamacare, for example – have outlets to see the light of day. And because news can spread so quickly today via social media, these stories can be seen by a lot more people than just the direct audiences of these outlets.
So even if media imbalance, as practiced by the dinosaurs, results in ignoring a story, the story can still become known.
A problem, though, is low-information voters who often play a major role in deciding elections. These are the 20 percent in the middle of the electorate who don’t lean strongly toward one party or the other and still rely largely on traditional media to get their news. If these folks knew the real nature of “Fast and Furious,” or the real costs of Obamacare, or the true nature of our economic and fiscal situations, they would likely vote to send Obama packing in massive numbers.
But they won’t know any of that if they rely solely on the old-guard broadcast networks and print outlets. Media imbalance will see to it. That’s why organizations that can expose this information to the public must do so. News organizations that cover up stories that matter are no news organizations at all.
Barry's stories... And here Barry told the biggest story imaginable, just last week, that defines what he considers to be the what he expects his voters to believe, that the government will be the solution to all that ails this nation. Mychal was correct: We the People were listening.
The country is going to hell in a hand basket specifically because of Obama’s pernicious permutation of our domestic and social policies – and the best he can come up with is: “When I think about … the mistake of my first term … [was forgetting that] the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.” (“Obama: My Biggest Mistake Was Not ‘Telling a Story,’” Weekly Standard, July 12, 2012)
That is the most hebephrenic mea culpa I’ve heard in my life, in or out of politics. As an excuse it borders on “the dog ate my homework.” The truth is that you did tell a story, Barry – and We the People were listening.
Your promise to “fundamentally change” our nation was the story of your plan to transmogrify America into that which Erebus, Lenin and Marx would applaud, and people are awaking to that fact. We heard your story when your wife hissed through her toothy overbite that she had been ashamed of America her entire life, right up until you came on the scene.
In order to inform our neighbors, we must help them understand that there is a huge difference in the platforms of the two parties that will make up most of the total votes in November. Here are just a few examples of ideologies that you will never see the Democrats and Republicans compromise on.
We must stand up for the United States Constitution. We must hold politicians to their claims. This starts by electing the party that stands, explicitly, for liberty, decency and individual rights. When those we elect for these reasons go on to fail us, we must immediately eject them from office and elect more representatives who stand for the correct ideals. We must not simply elect the “other guy” in the hope that something will change – for if we fight evil by electing those who actively advocate it, we have accomplished nothing.
There is a difference between Democrats and Republicans. That difference is found in what the two parties say they want to do. The only answer to the problems facing our nation is never again to elect a Democrat – while holding elected Republicans to a high standard and throwing them out of office when they fail to meet it. Only by standing against the Democrats, the party of abortion, the party of vote fraud, the party of gun control, the party of socialism, the party of surrender and appeasement in the face of our nation’s enemies, can we prevail.
Diana West has it right, we get one more chance. But in order to make a change in November, there is no doubt that our neighbors need a wake-up call. Once more, it is important to emphasize the kind of America we will have to live with, should we not take advantage of our last chance to get it right.
Such fundamental transformation was a long time coming. Its course was largely set three quarters of a century ago during the 12-year reign of FDR, whose signature “New Deal” entrenched the Marxist (socialist, Leninist, progressive, collectivist, Alinskyite – take your pick) mindset in Ever-Bigger-Government America. In a sense, Barack Obama ranks only as the most audacious of FDR’s successors in his ideological drive to socialize the USA. As Obama himself explained in a 1995 interview with the Chicago Reader (unearthed by Obama biographer Stanley Kurtz), the “right-wing … individualistic bootstrap myth” needed replacing. “We must unite in collective action,” Obama said, “build collective institutions and organizations.”
That certainly describes SCOTUS-approved Obamacare.
Taking the long view, we might say the collectivists inspired by the Russian Revolution of 1917 have won. The individual has lost. The state has only grown, and liberty has only shrunk. The fireworks went off all right, but somehow, the home of the brave remains in the dark.
At least until November, when we get one more chance.

If you are not yet convinced that this year's 2012 Presidential election means a lot for the future of freedom, then reading this column by Judge Andrew Napolitano may give you a better understanding.
Imagine Jefferson being told what to eat or stopped and frisked on a whim. And then imagine the Supreme Court telling him that he must pay a tax if he fails to comport his personal private behavior as Congress – which doesn’t believe in privacy or personal freedom – commands.
Here is how you can tell that these are bad days for freedom: Does the government need your permission to violate your rights, or do you need the government’s permission to exercise them? The answer is painfully obvious.
Presently in America, what are we going to do about it?
In my heart, I know that I could never believe that success is only achievable with the help of government. In fact, it is just the opposite of what I believe. Hopefully, all Americans have the same opportunities, and that government programs would never favor any group of people over another... Well, even if that is not the case, there are people that just seem to make it on their own, despite the government "assistance" that is available!
And here I thought it was the role of government to make sure that nobody had an unfair advantage due to race, religion, gender, age, and whatever other minority "victims" there are. I thought it was about keeping the playing field of opportunity to remain level.
Obama's view of a level playing field is by having the government being the officials that change the rules as we go, just to make sure the results we end up with are equal... And that can not and never will happen.
There will always be people that are a lot more passionate about finding a way to succeed in life. Success is NOT defined by what the government can provide with you with. It is ALL up to each individual, and their faith that the Lord has given them the tools they need. The government can never provide what our faith does!
Obama: Success is Only Achievable through Government From GOPUSA "The Loft" ~ By Bobby Eberle ~ Published Jul 17, 2012 at 7:13 am

What an incredible few days it has been. Barack Obama has been trying everything in his campaign... pulling ideas from the same, tired leftwing playbook used in the past. He has called for higher taxes. He is using class warfare. He is using character attacks rather than hitting the issues. But with just one speech, Obama showed that he far surpasses left wing presidents of the past. By implying that no American can be successful without government "help," Obama showed that it's impossible for him to lead, because he has no clue what the American Dream is.
It will be interesting to see in the upcoming weeks what the media have to say about Obama and his actions. Yes, they are all firmly in his corner. Yes, they buy into the same "big government" mentality as he does. But Obama is so far out of touch, one would think even some of the "normal" leftists would catch on.
In a speech on Friday, Obama -- whether he intended to or not -- blasted small business owners and entrepreneurs by saying that if you were successful, "somebody else made that happen." Incredible. Incredibly stupid. Incredibly out of touch.
Of course, President Obama would also tell us that the Peterson Farm Bros. didn't make the following video on their own, but because of the government providing them with the internet (that Al Gore invented), all of their skills (they gained from the public school system), and the government control of agriculture that provides them with their success and their profits in farming.
And of course, The Peterson Farm Brothers would beg to differ. I think you'll see who is right when you watch the following video, and it ain't the President:
