Are We Tiptoeing Towards Totalitarianism?
Just Asking…

his is my third attempt at writing an article. Why? Because it’s not possible to write about anything that’s important without offending someone in today’s world.

So I’m simply asking questions so you can answer them for yourself. But before I get started I should let you know where I’m coming from so you don’t think there’s an agenda behind my questions, which, there may be sometimes. So this is me…don’t be offended, it’s simply my point of view. The way I see it, we are tiptoeing towards totalitarianism as someone like David Icke would say.

the same way that our message against the war back in the 60’s was lost. Hawk Newsome of BLM in New York brought some valid concerns in a debate with Candice Owens (That video will be on the Online Article). Somehow we are all losing sight of what’s really going on because we have become polarized against each other, black and white, Republican and Democrat, one religion against another and the list goes on. This polarization
