Overview

""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! 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 bookSocialists 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 The too-little-talked-about uncomfortable call on America’s military to patrol the streets and protect the public. The more soldiers get sent to America’s streets, the more immune citizens become to the idea of soldiers roaming America’s streets. Chapter 8—CLIMATE LOCKDOWN As said in the 2021 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation annual letter, “Pandemic preparedness must be taken as seriously as we take the threat of war.” And then Gates made a link between COVID-19 and climate change, saying that failing to deal with climate change will certainly bring on more disease and more pandemics and more worldwide suffering, such as seen under COVID. With that, he called for 3,000 specially trained medical officials who could spring to action and respond at the whiff of a virus to communities of the world — and assist, i.e., direct with local mitigation and containment efforts. Meanwhile, John Kerry, Biden’s climate envoy, has returned to his old Barack Obama secretary of state days and pushed the idea that climate change is a national security issue. It’s all inextricably linked: covid-19, climate change, the left’s call for social justice and economic justice and climate justice, the cancel culture against conservatives and labeling of Republicans and Trump supporters as white supremacists — coronavirus gave the Left what it needed to shut down the engines of a society, that also gives the Left what it needs to open up the engines of a society, in a refashioned, reconfigured state. It’s not just about the coronavirus. It’s about every radical Marxist collectivist globalist idea coming together in one massive coronavirus surge of opportunity — and what will happen, in the end, is an utter transformation of American politics and culture and government and society. Chapter 9—LESSONS FROM GEORGE ORWELL’S ANIMAL FARM In this fictional account of an animal uprising against oppressive human masters, the barn yard quickly becomes a breeding ground for elitists to rise and conquer. Some animals are equal — but some are more equal than others. This is how tyrannical governors gone mad with coronavirus power have behaved, ordering citizens to do one thing while refusing to do the same themselves. And just like in the ending pages of ANIMAL FARM, when the barn yard animals couldn’t tell the difference between their supposed liberator animal comrades, the pigs, and the human enemies they all fought and resisted and overthrew — so, too, is the strategy of the leftists using the coronavirus for political and personal gain: they don’t want you to notice the loss of individual rights. They don’t want it noticed that “four legs good, two legs bad” has morphed into “four legs good, two legs better.” They don’t want it noticed that the concept of God-given rights — America’s greatest asset — has morphed into government-granted rights and privileges. To notice is to be able to resist; to accept without even noticing is to change entire hearts and minds. The enemies of freedom want Americans to bow and relinquish their rights — but gratefully, believing those they bow to are saving them from danger.

Chumley 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! and Not a Day Care Our personal liberties are so easy to take for granted, but if the growing gang of Socialists have their way, we will regret not having paid attention and assuming such a stupid thing would never happen in America. Cheryl Chumley is a gifted writer and courageously explains what's at stake. Don't put off reading this book and regret that you failed to realize the threat we face. - Gov. Mike Huckabee, New York Times bestselling author and host of Huckabee The Pandemic reminded us of how fragile our liberties are. Cheryl Chumley shows us how close we came to losing them for good and what we can do to secure them in time for the next challenge. - Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist and bestselling author The Hippocratic Oath states: 'First, do no harm.' When a plague originated in a Chinese Communist Party lab in Wuhan began spreading like a prairie fire across America, President Trump faced a no-win situation - how best to stop it. In LOCKDOWN, Cheryl Chumley gets to the heart of the dilemma that POTUS warned us about on that March day - don't let the cure be worse than the disease. Cheryl Chumley is one of the most important voices in the Trump Movement and LOCKDOWN is a must-read for those 'Deplorables' who want to understand the real threat America faces. - Steve Bannon, host of War Room and former White House chief strategist for President Donald J. Trump Any conservative who is familiar with Cheryl Chumley's work, knows she's a champion of human liberty. LOCKDOWN reveals how anti-freedom, left-wing forces use events and tragedies like a pandemic to advance their barbarous assault on the human spirt. Everyone who loves this country needs to pay attention to this important book as it dismantles the tricks and tactics used by the radical left to advance their dark agenda. More importantly, Cheryl tells us what we can do to stop it. - Chris Salcedo, host of Newsmax The Chris Salcedo Show LOCKDOWN is a deep dive into the radical Left's aggressive manipulation and politicization of the COVID-19 pandemic to advance their own toxic agenda and silence the American people. Cheryl Chumley has done it again! - Rep. Jody Hice, R-GA, and host of The Jody Hice Show Despite different views Americans will hold about the pandemic and the vaccine, we can all be united about the value of liberty, and the need to be vigilant in defending it. The Left looks for any and every opportunity to destroy it. Cheryl Chumley's book LOCKDOWN will help you to be even more alert to this danger! - Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life Cheryl has emerged as one of the most important writers in America today for one of the most important newspapers today. She made tremendous impact with her landmark book Socialists Don't Sleep. Now she extends her work in the brilliant LOCKDOWN detailing how precisely collectivists like Joe Biden are, at this moment, doing their utmost to destroy freedom in America. Must read. Essential. - Craig Shirley, Reagan Biographer and Presidential Historian Cheryl Chumley takes you through a no-holes-barred expose of how America was transformed seemingly overnight by one of the most liberty robbing policies ever instituted, the COVID lockdowns. Instead of taking 'two weeks' to flatten the virus curve, lockdowns persisted for more than a year and flattened America's constitution, freedoms, common sense, science, and public health. LOCKDOWN walks the reader through the bastardization of science and how unelected public health bureaucrats became dictators virtually overnight in our once free nation. Find out what is behind the tyranny of government stay-at-home orders, curfews, bans on attending weddings, funerals and backyard barbeques. Chumley reveals how global institutions are poised to make the two-week flattening of your freedom into a permanent Great Reset using climate change to bring George Orwell's 1984 dystopian vision into reality. - Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot and the author of the bestselling Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal is Even Worse Than You Think and former senior staff of U.S. Senate Environment & Public Works Committee. The political divide in America became the mask divide. Those who believe in big government and phony science clung to masks, lockdowns and Fauci far after the facts were against them. Chumley outlines how it happened. - Jack Kingston, Conservative Activist and Former U.S. Congressman for Georgia's 1st District

Praise for Police State USA: How Orwell's Nightmare is Becoming our Reality by Cheryl K. Chumley Police State USA is very timely and I hope people will want to think about this topic, and that Americans take it up and read it. -- Gov. Mike Huckabee, New York Times Bestselling author & Host of Huckabee Powerful, powerful book. Even if you know about most of this, its important to give Police State USA to your police chief, to your county commissioner. We can turn the tide. -- Alex Jones, Infowars.com One of the first things necessary to take back this nation is becoming informed. Police State USA is the book that will get you there and inspire you to defend this nation from big government zealots who believe you won't notice what they're up to. -- Tammy Bruce, radio talk-show host, author, and Fox News contributor Praise for The Devil in DC: Winning Back the Country from the Beast in Washington by Cheryl K. Chumley The Devil in DC is such an important book to read. [It] takes the fight of patriotic Americans to an even higher level, appealing to Christians and those of faith to get in the ring, jump in the fight. And what I really like about this book is it then shows them just how to do it. -- Gov. Mike Huckabee, New York Times Bestselling author & Host of Huckabee Cheryl Chumley's Devil in DC hits the nail on the head of what's wrong with America and then tells how to fix it. She gives clear, concise directions on how to win back the country from the progressives and atheists who've taken over, reminding readers with a most inspiring message: All is not lost, God's still in charge, and the Constitution remains the rule of law. -- Michael Savage, New York Times Bestselling author & host of The Savage Nation The Devil in DC: How to Win Back the Country From the Beast in Washington is a superb guide to making our country once again what it was and should be a bastion of freedom and it comes right when it is needed more than ever. The clash of civilizations is only going to get worse, the global jihad is on the march, and we have to sweep out the appeasers and traitors in Washington to make room once again for patriots and lovers of freedom. Cheryl Chumley, in this eye-opening guide, shows how to do just that. -- Pamela Geller, President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and author of The Post-American Presidency & Stop the Islamization of America In Devil in DC, Cheryl boldly mixes religion, politics and the history of our founding to blast past partisan politics and show how patriotic Americans can win this great country back from those who seek to destroy it. -- Sam Sorbo, Hollywood actress, model, and radio talk show host While universities censor speech and stifle debate, Cheryl Chumley courageously tells the ugly truth about how America lost its way. She takes a pointed look at how the nation has succumbed to moral decay and offers a foolproof recipe for redemption. The Devil in DC is a must read for every presidential candidate running to kick the devil out of DC. -- Jennifer Wishon, White House correspondent CBN News Praise for Socialists Don't Sleep: Christians Must Rise or America Will Fall by Cheryl K. Chumley Socialists Don't Sleep is one of those timely books that just points out the roots of what's gone wrong in America, how we can get our country back on track to what founders envisioned and the Judeo-Christian community that holds the key to America's long-term successes. -- Gov. Mike Huckabee, New York Times Bestselling author & Host of Huckabee Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- when it comes to socialism in America, these two aren't the problem. Per se. They're simply symptoms of the real problems that usher in Socialism: a dysfunctional entitlement-minded society, a propaganda-pushing school system, a decayed culture, a sieve-like border. As Cheryl Chumley points out in Socialists Don't Sleep, we can't root out socialism unless we first address the real problems. -- Michael Savage, New York Times Bestselling author & host of The Savage Nation What is it about the founding principles of America that the secular progressive left would make better? The answer is: Nothing. In her new book, Cheryl Chumley reminds us of those principles and calls on those who still believe in them to engage the failed policies and ideology of Socialism and atheism and to fight back. -- Cal Thomas, Nationally-syndicated Conservative Columnist If you think socialism will inevitably lose at the polls, think again! As Cheryl shows in Socialists Don't Sleep, the far Left -- in both political parties -- has been eroding our freedoms for decades. The long-term solution must come from the Judeo-Christian community. If the churches don't rise, America is sunk. -- Sam & Kevin Sorbo, Writer-Producer-Director Team for Let There Be Light An important book that shows just how close our country is from losing its freedoms -- and why the younger generations need to learn truthful history about capitalism, freedom, and socialism. -- Will Witt, PragerU Personality Socialists Don't Sleep exposes the flawed thinking of the socialist left. -- Phil Robertson, New York Times Bestselling author & Star of Duck Dynasty Cheryl Chumley's book, Socialists Don't Sleep: Why Christians Must Rise, Or America Will Fall, is a masterpiece. Unlike most politicians and academicians, she keenly understands the true greatness of America, and unequivocally sounds an alarm of caution if our nation continues down its current path of blindness toward our founding principles and values. There are few books that I believe should be read by everyone, this is one of them. The message Chumley lays forth is clear, profound, disturbing, and hopeful. It's time for America to have a reality check, a deep, soul-searching reality check. This is a great place to start. -- Representative Jody B. Hice, R-GA
