"A crucial warning for Americans about the left's never-ending lust to steal individual liberties - and the power of God to stop it." - Everett Piper, Bestselling Author of Grow Up!
"Don't put off reading this book and regret that you failed to realize the threat we face." - Gov. Mike Huckabee
LOCKDOWN is a terrifying story of not only the chaotic freefall of American freedoms during the opening stages of the COVID pandemic, but the dangerous growth of government power that continues today.
LOCKDOWN is a warning that the extraordinary powers invoked by left-wing Democrats and others, justified by claims of public health and safety, have begun the unravelling of America's constitutional order and our most cherished freedoms.
Using COVID-19 as a cover, Democrat leaders and their bureaucratic health advisers seized powers the Constitution never gave them, and ordered citizens to stay off streets and out of public parks, banned them from their workplaces, closed down their schools, and made church attendance a crimes - even as these same leaders and their left-leaning cronies blithely, arrogantly, and outrageously allowed mass protests, kept open abortion clinics and did as they pleased.
Relying on her trademark aggressive reporting style, Cheryl K. Chumley explains how the radical left is using pandemic policies as a template for increasing controls over the lives of citizens as they build a one-party, socialist state in America.
A sequel to her bestselling Socialists Don't Sleep, in LOCKDOWN, Chumley exposes how hypocritical, elitist, and radical leftists are still using the coronavirus to score political points and steal individual rights - as the original pandemic served as dress rehearsal in the march toward the new fascism.

TABLE OF CONTENTS to LOCKDOWN: The Socialist Plan to Take Away Your Freedom by Cheryl K. Chumley
INTRODUCTION-AND SO IT BEGINS… A TIMELINE TO TYRANNY…
In March 2020, as the United States was beginning to feel the ravages of the new coronavirus, and citizens were pressed to stay home, and business owners were forced to close their doors, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to write in all caps:
"WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!"
The President's words proved prescient.
From there began a topsy-turvy chaotic freefall of American freedoms that saw Democrat governors and their bureaucratic health advisers seize powers the Constitution never gave them, and outright order citizens to stay off the streets, stay out of work, stay at home, stay away from schools, stay far from churches - even as these same Democrat governors and their left-leaning cronies blithely, arrogantly and outrageously did as they pleased. Even as fatalities from the coronavirus fell. Even as the science showed many of the mitigation efforts were fruitless at containing the virus. Even as the selection of establishments targeted for closure grew more and more biased in nature.
America's economy ground to a standstill. American citizens groaned under the weight of government.
And hypocritical, elitist and arrogant Democrats use the Covid-19 pandemic to score political points and steal individual rights.
IT WAS A DRY-RUN FOR A SOCIALIST ANTI-FREEDOM AGENDA
Chapter 1-COVID LOCKDOWNS
A dry run for progressive/socialist anti-freedom agenda and government control of everything. fear works. Fear subdues. Fear plays right into the hands of the globalists and collectivists who want ultimately to control all the world's governments.
Chapter 2-TECHNOLOGICAL LOCKDOWN
Contract tracing here to stay, tracking software, face recognition software - think police, law enforcement, airport screeners, security agencies - exploit the tracking features of contact tracing apps for their own surveillance purposes.
Chapter 3-FREE SPEECH LOCKDOWN
Social media bans, censorship and cancel culture.
Chapter 4-EDUCATION LOCKDOWN
Ending funding for private/religious schooling, end of school choice, rise of teacher unions and liberal agenda in curriculums - Unions and leftist educators demand more money, better benefits, cushier work incentives: to bring about a generation of citizens who are fearful and obedient, conditioned to taking orders from their big brotherly protectors in government. Dependent on their dear leaders.
Chapter 5-PATRIOTISM LOCKDOWN
Rebranding patriotism as racism - the left has to keep Americans divided; the left's plan to crumble America focuses on dividing the population by race and class and education level and any other demographic that can be used to drive forth wedges, pit one against another, and create the kind of anger and envy that provides the perfect breeding ground for socialists to swoop. Getting rid of conservatives by labeling all conservatives as racist and violent is a perfect vehicle to silence dissenting opinions. The end game is to simply cancel conservatives. And along the way, canceling the Second Amendment is just as good - because, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says, it's scary and intimidating to have congressional members carry guns into the Capitol.
Chapter 6-FREE MARKET LOCKDOWN
"The Great Reset," i.e. the destruction of the free market. The World Economic Forum is clear in its goals for a "great reset" to take place during the rebuilding of economies - and in this globalist elitist organization's own words, it's a reinvention of capitalism that's the end game. The W.E.F. will press private businesses to put revenues second, and social consciousness first - with the ultimate end game as an oligarchy. It's an evil genius plan that turns America's free enterprise system on its head by pressuring businesses to act as the moral compasses for all of society. In other words: Corporations should cede profits for the social good, and countries should cede borders and sovereignty for the social good.
Chapter 7-MILITARY LOCKDOWN
