I've been quoting excerpts from my book, www.thecornsiege.com, where events seem to have been predicted by yours truly. I'm up to about six so far. I'm going to put this excerpt in the comments and instead make some commentary here.

How did I 'know' these things were going to happen? It's easy. When a Democrat/Elitist says (scoffs), "I'll never support that" what he means is, "This is what I want to do, the first chance I get." When your average American, especially those who posture as 'reasonable moderates,' say (scoffs), "That will never happen here. Stop exaggerating." I know that conditions are right for the Elitist to do that very thing. When the malicious rule the gullible, it is easy to guess what is going to happen next, for the malicious are not afraid to say it aloud: they know that they CAN say it aloud, just so long as they assure people they 'would never do it.'

Obama saying he cannot unilaterally change immigration law followed by him doing so, Biden doing the same with the mandatory vaccines. And of course, Biden saying they would never leave Americans in Afghanistan.

The tragic thing is people who think they are conservatives not only falling for the trick every time, but sometimes even welcoming it! As in this excerpt....

What had happened was this: Even some of her more rational and selfless family and friends had joined the chorus of people objecting to compulsory vaccination. Even her own sister, who Constance had called a ‘selfish murderer’ right to her face, would not be persuaded. And her sister had voted for every liberal, progressive, Democrat she had ever had opportunity to cast a vote for. What is the matter with some people?
Thankfully, there were other ways to get the job done without having the government require it directly. The White House got the ball rolling properly by withdrawing funding from any business or organization which did not compel getting the vaccine—or otherwise complying with all the rest of the myriad of new policies concomitant with the ‘Great Reset.’ One thing led to another, and businesses in turn began requiring the businesses that they did business with to also require compliance, or else forfeit getting their business. This worked like a charm because the Big Businesses got on board quickly, which meant all the smaller businesses had to fall in line quickly, or else they would go out of business. And then, the inevitable lawsuit.
When Big Business prevailed in the Supreme Court (on a narrow 10-9 split), Constance got a quote from one of the CEO’s that went like this:
"Today, the rights of private businesses to conduct their affairs as they see fit was upheld. Conservatives and Republicans everywhere should be pleased by this, and we hope that they will stand with us in unity, now that the rule of law has been followed. Of course, there is no pleasing the radical right. These will just have to be stomped out."
Her novel tweak on this was adding this paragraph:
"Based on this reasoning, if a grocery store wanted to refuse service to an insurrectionist, or a gas station insisted on charging white people a ‘white privilege’ tax, or cell phone company demanded to see someone’s social media profile before allowing them mobile service, they could do that. Naturally, this prerogative does not extend to discrimination against the trans community and other oppressed minorities, who are protected by Federal Law. The judgement by the Court finally allows companies to act on principles of empathy without worrying the government will penalize them. Consumers have the same freedom they always had, which is that if they don’t like the way a company does business, they don’t have to do business with that company."
This was brilliant, because if applied—and she had reason to think it was being applied—then this meant that the bigots wouldn’t be able to do business anywhere. They wouldn’t be able to buy food, get gasoline, get jobs and so on. Utility companies could deny them services. They would be utterly crushed, forced (adding massive insult to massive injury) to survive on the mercies of a compassionate welfare state such people had so staunchly opposed.
Of course, these mercies still required that first the fascists SHUT UP. Which they did. Constance loved America! This was ‘free speech’ in action.
