Lockdown: The Socialist Plan to Take Away Your Freedom
“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 book 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.

Everyone ought to read this book regardless of Political affiliation. Like so many books written from a bias opposite biases one holds, it is important to remember truth usually lies in the middle of extreme opinions.
Good books cause a reader to consider things from a different perspective and Cheryl does an excellent job of doing that. The problem is too many people will not attempt to check their biases and read this type of book. It is a shame as it is a book worth reading that could actually help save our Great Country.

A couple months ago I tapped this book to read from NetGalley.com and started it. Then put it aside thinking i was reading the volume at a bad time. I resumed a week ago. What I believe occurred was that I had just read Robert Kennedy and Alex Berenson's books and I was over my head treading the same ground too often. Kennedy's book is excellent with a worldview of the situation. The early lot I had experienced myself studying evolutionary biology in the '80s and '90s. Berenson's was a far narrow view involving mostly himself and New York City. Berenson's was like reliving 2019-2021 with nearly nothing added outside his personal experiences.
I found Chumley's book more a bureaucratic view that came a year too late. There are a few interesting tidbits, but hardly worth reading the entirety. 95% of the material has been covered via various news sources. Oddly some covered in interviews by Chumley, herself.
I know a slew of books were and are being delayed due to, what is being explained as, a paper shortage. If Chumley is the victim of the paper game being played, then that is unfortunate and a reason I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and giving this book the rating I am.
The writing is OK but far too conversational that should have been replaced with better blocking in of information Chumley garnered or left out entirely. The bullet-point approach is fine for light reading, but really shouldn't be present in a book with a mature approach. This book, to me, did come across as something geared more for the teen or college set.
Bottom line: i don't recommend this book. 5 out of 10 points.

While although very right leaning the book provides an abundance of truth and facts about how the left is trying to take away the freedoms and liberties of everyone. If you can read the book with looking over the hard right wing stance and meet in the middle it will reveal how truly wicked and evil the government and its players are.

Lift up your eyes and see again.
The auther is every insightful intuitive and accurate. This book is a treasure and very significant in returning to the true America that we were so proud of. God bliss her and all of us that still believe in God and America.

LOCKDOWN-CHERYL K. CHUMLEY
Well, I must say Ms. Chumley has written quite an interesting book of truth. She gives proof and statistics as to why we are in a crucial time in our country to maintain our freedoms.
Under the cover of COVID we are losing privileges and freedoms as the radical left has overstated what should be done to stem the impact of COVID. From mandates, to stopping a pipeline so we remained energy independent and allowing our southern borders to be overrun with illegal immigrants we are being led down the primrose path to socialism, under the guise of making life better in our nation. EXCEPT, it is not socialism it is straight up communism.
The socialism cry of equality and giving to the people the left deems as needy is slowly heading us into a society dependent on our government. Taxes are going to hurt the people who want to care for their family and companies that provide the jobs for all people. Government in control is why our country was birthed. We are forgetting history of a strong nation that has existed longer that any other nation or peoples.
I received this FREE to my Kindle for the purpose of review. I am so glad I did. Ms. Chumley has laid it all out beautifully. Unfortunately, not available until April......don't miss out.
I was stunned and yet saddened as I read where we are headed.......

I did really enjoy the author's writing style and this was a quick and easy read, but I feel like this book is a little late to the party. I probably would have loved this book if I'd read it a year or so ago, but the information covered in this book has been covered by various other sources so it was very repetitive reading it again. Overall, it was okay, but not my favorite book on this subject.
