Phill Kline, former Kansas Attorney General and current law professor at Liberty University School of Law, said the Left has transformed “the attitude of our government” in a way that views the American public as a threat to its maintenance of power.
Kline used the example of the government’s ongoing refusal to release the full manifesto of the Covenant School killer as a way it works to “shape” what the public “thinks,” “knows,” and “believes.”
“It’s consistent with a Marxist ideology, which views the liberty and knowledge of the people as the enemy of the maintenance power within government that’s necessary to afford an agenda in which the left sees all things to be political. They see the individual exercising freedom and, collectively, the people as unable to appropriately exercise their freedom. So they have to shape what they think, what they know, what they believe. They have to shape what they do, what they eat, what they consume, and to do so, government needs to operate absent the scrutiny of the electorate,” Kline explained on Wednesday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.
Kline said the Left is successful in its mission to control the public through government by the “selection of leaders” via an abundance of funding for “nonprofit money, leftist expertise, and money from around the globe into election offices” as well as being in a position to “control the flow of information.”
To this, Kline added that another reason why the Covenant School killer’s full manifesto is being withheld from the public is due to the killer’s ideology, which Kilne said does not fit the narrative “with the political interests of those who control that information.”
The killer, 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, self-identified as a transgender man and was a 22-year patient of Vanderbilt University Medical Center for psychiatric treatment.
“What the evidence shows is not consistent with the political interests of those who control that information. The political interest is that we must have gun control, and that was the problem. We can’t in any way show that people who are struggling with gender identity might be struggling with other health issues because that undermines a lot of the push to politicize this and gain additional authority through this movement,” Kline explained.
“You have this embedded structure now for government to elect people that will protect government. And for that to happen, you have to keep the people in ignorance. You can’t let them have information for which they can scrutinize government behavior because it is only in transparency that we can exercise our independent judgment…Government is viewing information to the public as the enemy of the government agenda,” Kline added.
