(by Bill Martin)
There is a question about where those of us who came together around Vote Yes and Salina Freedom can go from here, what we can build on the basis of winning the vote on Nov. 3. I’m a political theorist (by profession, as they say), and I’m working on this, and on related issues more generally. I tend to write long essays that some people don’t want to read and others don’t have the time to read. (The former are often people from what I call the DemLeft—liberals, progressives, and leftists who are folded under the agenda of the Democratic Party [and Identity Politics, Woke-ism, etc.] and who simply blast insults and epithets toward whomever they disagree with: “white supremacist,” “fascist,” “idiot.” For criticizing (or, okay, in some cases, demonizing) George Soros, you can be called an “anti-Semite.”* (My view is that trivializing these terms is itself anti-Semitic, racist, etc.)
To be short and not at all sweet, for once I have come up with a slogan that I think will keep people on the right track at least 90% of the time, probably more:
Trust no one who trusts Fauci
I’ve got other formulations that I’ll share another time, but I’ll mention an addendum that I hope is implied: “In matters of politics, medicine, and “science**,” Trust no one who trusts Fauci.”
This bit of word-magic could work wonders!
To help emphasize the point, you might read a few of the recent columns by James Howard Kunstler, at his blog (links provided, but I won’t say the name of the blog here because I’d like to keep this mother-in-law friendly).

Why not make the slogan about President Biden? Because there is no “President Biden,” he’s not a real person. “Biden” is an absolute puppet, and the Globalists (yes, including George Soros) know very well what they are doing with this puppet. The Fauci slogan reaches out far enough to encompass anything one would want to say about this puppet administration in any case. And, even the DemLeft is not so foolish as to say “Trust Biden,” they know there’s nothing there to trust.
Let’s keep on thinking about how we can build resistance to Globalist schemes here in the heart of the heartland. In the meantime, one more time, Trust no one who trusts Fauci!

[*The “Salinans for Facts” page (the “Vote No” people), in “responding” to my “Vote Yes!” article on the Salina Freedom page on November 1, said nothing about my response to those who want to charge critics of George Soros with anti-Semitism. In fact, the “Salinans for Facts” group has done it more since then—and by the way, they are an NGO, which seems strange for whatever they are to begin with, and there is some suspicion that they are connected to a larger group that is funded by Soros. In any case, whoever wrote the “response” to me at “Salinans for Facts” Facebook page didn’t respond to anything I said, other than taking offense for my calling them a “cabal.” That works well with the narcissistic virtue-signaling of that crew, it’s all about them, how great and woke they are and how everyone else is terrible, and nothing about the actual issue at stake. No wonder, then, that they throw around accusations regarding anti-Semitism as if they are tossing pennies in a fountain. “Just throw it out there, no real cost to you, and maybe it’ll do some damage to those deplorables!” That’s truly disgusting, and indeed anti-Semitic itself—on our side, let’s never sink to this level.]
[**What I mean to scare-quote here is not actual scientific investigation or hypothesizing, but instead the way the term is used by DemLefters these days. Their conception tends to be both positivistic (science as the only way to truth) and dogmatic, not unlike a dogmatic religious conception. These are the people who have those silly (virtue-signaling) signs in their yards that say, among other things, “In this house, we believe in science.” There is no “science” in the way that this statement implies, though it’s also the case that most of these people know very little about the “science” that they supposedly “believe in.” It should be more than obvious that anyone who says, as Fauci has said, that “Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” is talking about something other than science, to say the least. I’d happily debate any of these people on these questions. Positivism and dogmatism have spread like poisonous weeds—which is what they are—our from supreme medical administrator Fauci; don’t trust any of this!]
