“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” – George Orwell
The News & Observer has now gone full Orwellian with an editorial that demands that we all ignore reality and forget about buying a gun because they say so. In a piece originally entitled: Donald Trump’s fake fear is having a real effect on NC gun sales.
That was the edited version – the original neglected some of the basic rules of the King’s English. Remember, these are people who know better that you. So, when you see ‘peacefully’ violent riots out on the streets, ‘defunded’, and denigrated police departments, there is no need for you to have a gun:
“Firearm sales surged when the pandemic forced a shutdown in March. Now sales are rising again as President Trump warns of U.S. cities being overrun by looting mobs while police are left helpless to respond for lack of funding and respect.
Trump’s appeal to fear is a desperate fiction peddled by a trailing candidate who wants to shift the subject from his abject failure to respond to the pandemic. But it’s having an effect that’s as real as a bullet.”
Sometimes you just have to admire the chutzpah of the left’s socialist media minions in phrasing the left’s ongoing control fetish as something that isn’t their fault. But they top that with the allusion that all of the rioting is nothing more than a ‘desperate fiction’.
Contradictions always expose outright falsehoods
It gets even better when they quote Shannon Klug, a volunteer from Moms Demand [gun confiscation] who gives voice to everyone’s concerns and contradicts their ‘fake fear’ line:
“It’s not a far jump to understand why people feel the need to protect themselves” with a gun, she said. ”But you really have to know what you’re doing with it.”
So in the span of a few lines of partisan propaganda, we’re gone from ‘fake fear’ to people feeling the need to ‘protect themselves’. Why would anyone need to buy a gun if all of this is a ‘desperate fiction’?
Leftists say you don’t need a gun because the police will protect you
The same people who say that now want to ‘Defund the Police’. So they want to confiscate your guns and get rid of the police. Does that make any sense?
Those of us on the pro-liberty Right respect and support the police. But we also know they can’t be everywhere at once. Thus we see the vital importance of self-defense.
Now, we’re supposed to buy into the insanity abolishing the police AND confiscating guns.
You can’t ignore danger if you live in the real world
Those of us who don’t dwell in the rarefied air of gated community or vaunted editorial office know that the threat is real, it’s not a ‘desperate fiction’ but a danger that has become all too real. Especially to Aaron “Jay” Danielson brutally executed on the streets of Portland Oregon.
Consider the words of F. Paul Valone, President of Grass Roots North Carolina and Executive Director, Rights Watch International:
We’re LIVE and everything is on sale for a limited time! Whole Cows has launched offering freeze-dried beef for long-term storage. Don’t wait for food shortages to get worse. Stock up today. Use promo code “launch15” at checkout for 15% off!
Far from “Donald Trump’s fake fear,” people buying guns at a rate 145 percent that of last year are responding to Antifa-fueled rioting, nineteen leftist cities either slashing police budgets or planning to, and the “Ferguson effect,” wherein police, persecuted for enforcing laws, avoid making arrests. The result is exploding homicide.
New gun buyers finally realize what we’ve said for decades: the police can’t protect you. That includes in Raleigh, where a business owner reporting arson commented: “We called 911. We got nothing … (The dispatcher) said we will not send anybody out if it’s going to put our people in danger … I said, ‘look I don’t think y’all understand, we’re not calling for the fun of it. There are blazes going on across the street. There are people that live around these houses.’”
The bottom line: The left prioritizes power over your life and liberty
The nation’s socialist left doesn’t care about your safety or your liberty for that matter. They only care about enhancing their power. That is the rule that explains all of their actions.
Most people realize that it’s pure insanity to confiscate guns and get rid of the police. But for the left, this makes perfect sense because it grants them even more power over your life.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
