Please be careful of stereotyping BOOMERs! As a member of “generation jones” which is the youngest group of the boomers, I find it offensive and frankly emblemic of coercive propaganda. The boomers as a whole did not do the nasty things certain controlling groups advertise. These superhuman destructive feats were conducted by the government institutions such as the federal reserve, CIA, etc. at the behest of the controllers during the peak of boomers. Not by the boomer- cohort. The boomers as a whole were hard-working, honest , church-oriented people. Not f…ing BOOMERS.
Also we may have been the last generation uncaptured by the f…ing gaming empire. The terms such as BOOMERS were clearly coined by the controllers to sow more division amongst the population, not to define reality.
Kathryn, sorry to say when the tar brush comes out everyone gets covered. I am one of the 1% of the nation, and a boomer, who heard his country calling. (USMC, Captain Infantry) Yes, the middle and lower middle classes of the boomer generation have more or less tried to hold up their end of the bargain. But, the group of self serving whining cry babies who protested the Vietnam war, not because it was a bad fight and it was, but because it dawned on them that Richard Nixon, might end all college deferments, and they might have to go fight and get killed, made a mess and thought Woodstock was a good idea. They rubbed their thumbs in their parent’s eyes, and said nothing but nasty things to everyone and everything that was around them. And then….and then….They traded in their tie dyed clothes and hemp Birkenstocks for pinstripes and Gucci loafers, they strip mined this nation and the world. When they feel guilty they build libraries on the college campus’ they attended and name the building after themselves. One could go on and on. Unluckily you are part of the Boomer cohort that the younger Y, all Z and Alpha’s revile. They are angry and change is coming. Hard to say how and when, but it will be unexpected in manner and sooner than later. One good news story, the churches were full on Christmas Eve for midnight services. Demographically it was families within the age group of 60 years old and younger. The controllers? If this keeps going the way it looks to be going, the controllers will lose control. They are in total defcon 1 mode. They see and smell trouble coming and it is coming for them. Think on the bar room scene in the Clint Eastwood movie “Unforgiven” Gene Hackman’s character says “You just shot an unarmed man!” Eastwood’s character replies “Well he shoulda armed himself.” Find a Zoomer male and offer to buy him coffee or something like that, then ask him what they think. It’s worth it to try to understand their cohort. They will be in charge here soon enough. Good to know what they are thinking.
Much of what you say is valid, but you may have missed my central point( Maybe my fault): The stereotypical terms “Boomer,” “GenerationX,” “Millennials” were coined to create division between “age groups.” These age groups are a manufactured notion useful to the controllers to create strife. Just as the “Hippies” served their purpose, especially in useful arenas such as San Francisco and Woodstock . There were few hippies in the flyover zone aka heartland, and virtually none in my age groups. (My older brother served in Vietnam. ). Some authors even ascribe the hippie movement as being promulgated by the CIA.
I stand by my statement that the whole BOOMER designation is false and misleading. You may be correct that the younger generations may call for reparation, but that will be because of the deception and fabrications pushed forward regarding the BOOMER age group (20 % of the population)
Generation designations were never popular before. I think it grew legs when Tom Brokaw called the WWII generation The Greatest generation. Every generation since then has been given a name. Who is giving out the names? I have no idea.
These pointless names are just another way to divide us against ourselves. That works well for the people who intend to control us. And unfortunately, it does work.
and before somewhere in the middle of that they pegged a silent generation: Google says.... 🥸
The Silent Generation refers to people born roughly between 1928 and 1945, sandwiched between the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers, characterized by growing up during the Great Depression, World War II, and the Korean War, fostering values of conformity, hard work, duty, and resilience, often appearing quiet but leading significant movements like the Civil Rights Movement, and known for being thrifty and valuing stability.
No tantrums because government was not being a prick back then
I had thought about the Lost Generation, which was examined by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald. It overlaps with your silent generation. I don't know who is in charge of sorting this all out.
My main point is we didn't start seeing a need to name every generation and pitting them against each other, until after the Greatest Generation. As you say, the government wasn't being a prick back then.
I am in my early 70's and have no idea what I would be called. Probably goes back to my lack of math skills, when the teacher started mixing numbers and letters I was lost. Algebra I think it was called. Wonder what generation that is today?
To my mind, Boomer mentality isn't inherently pro-conservative or anti-liberal. It's both Neoconservative & Neoliberal embrace of the Post-WWII "Rules-Based" International Order (I also like the terms Neo-Marxist & Neo-Trotskyite). Even as a late X-er myself (some might say Xillenial), I am very much a part of the "Get Off My Lawn" crowd!
Here's my definition: People are people. Every generation has every kind of belief and personality. It starts being bigoted, when people assign negative characteristics to an entire generation, every bit as much as when a person says blacks are lazy or Jews are greedy. It's all bigoted.
These days, bigots can't say blacks are lazy and Jews are greedy (in public). What's a bigot to do? Simple. Make it about generations. People seem to accept bigotry about generations.
It was pretty bad, and McNamara knew it was almost cause even during his days in the Kennedy administration. One thing I know from the guys i served with, (I missed the war by a couple of years) is they fought for each other, the notion of the “nation” died pretty quickly as the lead got hot. Afghanistan was a similar situation only it lasted 20 years, cost a trillion dollars and we lost nearly 5,000 Americans. Rumsfeld and Gates both knew that it was a lost cause. Especially Gates since he had seen what a mess Bush 43 had left upon his departure. It is all shameful.
I was going to mention other wars but decided Nam was enough. Our congress and past presidents are so bad and now Trump seems to be following in their footsteps, something I didn’t expect.
I think Trump is engineering a path away from the the British Colonial path that took us into 2 world wars and the US being a defender of EuroColonial interests and away from the City Of London and NY Bankster forever wars . We need to finish the American Revolution once and for all and finally destroy the British Empire aspirations for world control . Look what happened today in DC with Zelensky. Peace with Russia and the end of MI6 looks wonderful to me. A true Pax Americana may lie ahead.
60,000 dead, three times that whose lives were profoundly damaged or restrained, a trillion dollars pissed away, practically destroyed the country, derailed the military, and left a nothing country counting 300,000 citizens who disappeared in the fog.
How sad to learn that the Vietnam war was more about the massive drug trade from Vietnam, the massive human and sex trading organization by the CIA. The CIA sure has its hands in a lot of nefarious activity. Funny that war coincides with the sex, drugs and rock &roll era. Nothing is by mistake...its all planned. Its been planned since before the world wars...so boomers can be accused of causing many problems, but out of ignorance, nothing else. Imagine if they had the technology back then that they have now...its the accelerant that added fuel to a fire that was slow burning over the years. They needed the creativity of the minds, but also wanted to stifle it after they had it in their hands. Ive said for years, the Uber wealthy made money as capitalist, climbing the ladder and then removing the rungs for regular people, and convincing them that socialism is the way to go...pecking away, year after year. Regan said it perfectly "freedom isnt really free, its earned, and we are always just one generation away from having it stolen from us" (something like that) it starts with schools. We are dangerously close to losing any of the brains we used to raise. They're stuck in an iPhone or video game. Bag of doritos beside them...no exercise or proper sleep. Parents keep their children up late so they can sleep in and not worry...its sad. ADHD has never been worse. Kids are sick, fat and lazy...blame it on the poisons, air, food, water, vaccines....it all boils down to money, and it started a loooong time ago.
Just like the war in Afghanistan was about growing opium poppies under the direction of the CIA and protection of the US military. Since the teetotaling Taliban took over Fentynl has had to take its place.
I still remember the conversations I had with 2 friends in Massachusetts before they deployed and were both killed in Viet Nam. Such a waste of human treasure , I'll never forget them or the tragedy of their loss.
Such an unfortunate affliction, among all of us, the need to put labels on "groups" of individual human beings: "boomers"; 'gen-z"; " millennials" -- merely because of the time in which they were born? Lots and lots of words to elucidate the Reasons such and such-named individuals are to be blamed, or pitied, or otherwise plastered with attributes that have little or even Nothing to do with who they might be. It is a practice of annhilation, for all concerned. I would say Stop. And Think.
Charles, Sorry. This lower middle class draft dodging Woodstock attendee has no regrets refusing to go kill foreigners and has little respect for those who did. You didn't hear any calling other than what any lemming would respond to, questioning nothing. I suffered the comments and attitudes of men like you 55 years ago and still can't believe you hold any measure of pride in what you did.
I respected and loved my parents, went on to build my own family , many businesses, and now have grandchildren. Nuance is a bitch ain't it.
The critics of Boomers make it sound like we are all living high on the hog. As a blue collar Boomer lucky enough to have retired with an old style pension, I can tell you that is not the case with me or anyone else I know. My gross income now on my pension is 60% (correction, it's what I made in 1982, not 60% of it) of what I grossed working in 1982!
Late boomer married to a mid-boomer. We lived frugally, worked physical jobs, saved, and now are just comfortable, at least for the time being.
It may be that the boomers at the very top made out well and manipulated financial things to their benefit, but given the same circumstances, a percentage of any other generation would do exactly the same. Greed is not limited to boomers
True. I was born in 1947 and my husband in 1946. We both made so little for many years that we could barely make ends meet. No luxuries. We were in our early forties before we bought a house with an FDA loan—a small two-bedroom house, which was all we could afford. When I was in my sixties I inherited enough money from my father to remodel the same house: high property taxes in our area made it impossible for us to move. We’re comfortable now, having more than we need but far from wealthy. We’re very grateful for what we have and have never aspired to wealth accumulation. Giving is very important to us. We’re pretty typical, I think.
We were the first group captured. In the beginning it was so subtle, nobody noticed it. The Lilliputians started binding with the tiniest threads a long time ago. That's why so many old liberals can't open their eyes. They've been bound shut.
You are at least technically correct. Who can forget the advance of PAC-Man and Super Mario? I personally never played a single game, being immersed in my job, practicing martial arts, and hiking in the Rockies at the time.
But the real roll out of the spider’s web was in succeeding years. Later, as a mother I saw the complete take over of my young children’s attention from healthy games and toys by the “arch-evil” Game-Boy which led to internet games. I actually destroyed one of those parasitical contrivances, but my husband bought our child another one. This struggle continued for years.
But who can forget the magnificent Oregon Trail game, essentially a death simulator wrapped in a history lesson. Kids and I loved that one and it was quite educational. They never played any other video games, maybe a little early Pac Man. Grateful for their disinterest. Because grandkids today are totally addicted and it’s horrible!!!!
I never bought the Oregon trail game for our daughter, though I did purchase and played 'where in the world is Carmen Sandiego' with her as a geography lesson. I also purchased her Mario teaches typing which worked very well. I never learned to type, and obviously don't play piano.
We are arguing this point as ‘boomers’ (hate that word) because we are liminal. The full scale and explosive disruption in society taking place through our era was a threshold time. Some of us resisted, and some were sucked into, and some willingly helped the chaos. So we are indeed not uniform. I would suggest that “THE” defining disruption of the period, still ongoing, and unfortunately NOT resisted by those inclined to ease and self-first is the decimation of traditional Christian belief, in particular that of the Catholic Church, per Vatican II and since.
THANK YOU! I’m a late boomer. Youngest of six to widowed mom. Started working at 10 years old for the neighborhood elderly, washing dishes, pulling weeds, cleaning house. Worked diligently for every dime for my whole life.
John Perkins (Boomer) wrote "The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man".
Clearly explains who the parasites were during those working years of Boomers.
Oligarch/Empire/Imperial/Bankster/War Mongering/corruptible Gov't actors/classes raped and pillaged around the world indiscriminately, thefting away economic growth opportunity for all of humanity.
Great recommended read as to which groups really need to be dressed down/destroyed.

Hello there Canadian! I was married to the smartest kindest man, who was a great Canadian. Honest and hard working farm boy from the Canadian prairies. He kept us working day and night full throttle. There was never a point in time where we rested on any laurels ourselves. I pause at categorizing people by their age, and recognize instead the intentional dismantling of the community, human standards, medical system, farming, civil liberties, etc. etc. This has been planned and carried out by a strata of “actors” (only vaguely defined) for over a hundred years.
The harridans, dilettantes, mesmerized blue-hairs, vicious ant-life, drug- and alcohol- dazed corrupt multitudes are the artifacts and detritus of this evil campaign. The evil controllers have reached a point where they think they have enough power to finish off the job, or they wouldn’t have launched their latest attacks. I think they are wrong. Elizabeth is right about that, and she is a treasure.
Here, Here and right on the mark! What I neglected to state is I am angry (although you most likely picked up on :)....However, in my defence I say "the gloves are off" and the time for playing nice is gone. WE need the "Promethean Spirit" to rise up in all people whatever generation. In as much as I do know the 'divisive' has been planned....know this....WE are winning this 5th generation warfare. The 'evil-doers' know it and they are f*cking terrified and will NOT give it up and will die trying.....hence the 'latest attacks'. Even though I am of a generation, I believe this 'plan' has been in place for at least 400 years. I keep repeating.....this is a long road ahead and it will be meaner and meaner, faster and faster, crazier and crazier. All the more reason to stay centred, healthy, keep the dialogue open and deeply grounded in community.
My focus (main rant) was on those women who were driving the machinery that kept the illusion alive. The very unfortunate part of that is the "vicious anti-life, etc. etc." are still exerting whatever powerlessness they have. I agree about the 'intentional dismantling of community", etc. etc. that you list. However, it ain't gonna work. There are too many people hurting and they are rising up.....even in Canada, albeit we do live in a huge country with a minuscule population (39,000,000) spread out over a massive landscape.
Yes to the Canadian prairies, where I am from, and to the 'farm boy' sensibility that I was raised in the atmosphere of. There is NOTHING like a real man from the prairies and there was NEVER a possibility of resting on laurels. WE were all too busy getting on with it.
A reminder......in life, nothing ever happens to you, it happens for you.
Reading all these posts I feel inclined to clarify what 'boomers' I was referring to!! I am NOT talking about those boomers who were hard working, ADULTS in the room (raising responsible younguns) and creating their conscious communities. I am referring to those who took it ALL for granted in their ivory towers of elitism and assumed that nothing in their world would be affected. Those who fell for the corrupted systems they could manipulate to their advantage, who were indoctrinated, lacking in a moral compass. Those who in that 'comfort' did not (nor do not) bother to question EVERYTHING. I believe this is about 30% of the population in the US of A and in Canada. A reminder it was the boomer women that voted for Biden and Carney (Carnage).
Completely off topic.....but relevant and connected!
The 'C' word (I don't speak covid) is a glaring example of those 30% that went along to get along....while the mandates were put in place and threatened and destroyed lives, families, communities, businesses. I am referring to those that condone the exploitation and sexualization of children, the skewed and dangerous trans-humanist agenda (that is FINALLY being challenged.) I am referring to the politicians, corporations, legal systems, the broken medical model, the captured universities, et al.....the list is massive and goes on and the corruption runs deep. I DO
realize this does NOT lay solely in the lap of boomers, but covers many demographics.
About those "mandates"!
That the mandates TRIED to restrict closeness to others, heart to heart, kisses, hand shakes and everything that enhances communication and love of each other is ONE of the crimes against humanity. These fear-driven narratives were at the core of the how this could and did happen.
"Your heart creates a toroidal electromagnetic field that radiates six metres from the body. This field syncs with the Earth, the Sun, and every living being around you. It is a resonator. A tuner. A conductor. It aligns the rhythm of your cells. It feels. It remembers. It emits. And it responds to emotion, thought, light, sound, and breath. When you feel love, grief, fear, or peace, your heart transmits it. It is the central frequency modulator of your biology.
They do not want coherent humans. They want disrupted, inflamed, fragmented people who rely on drugs to survive. That is the business model. And the fake heart pump lie is central to it. Your heart is not a pressure valve. It is a vortex. A field tuner."
However Kathryn......those 'hard-working, honest, church-oriented' BOOMERS may have worked hard for what they garnered, BUT then they became complacent and blind to the reality of life around them, enjoying their bounty and resting on their laurels, creating (spawning) a class of 'emasculated men' and 'harridan women' with ignorant ideologies, and THEN sent these radicalized women into the workforce and universities to skew the truth of education, climate hysteria, transgender f*ckery, all the while emblazoned on their chests words like 'patriarchy' shouting the victim cry and blaming men for their lot in life, while spouting the feminist perverted agenda. They parroted male slogans, childless, frigid, unhealthy, hard, naive and ignorant of what was occurring around them. WHO do you think supported these 'government institutions' to do their bidding? It was ELITE BOOMER WOMEN who were hell bent on NOT relinquishing their bounty, their funding, their status and ALL that their BOOMER husbands had heart attacks over.....dying to maintain the illusion of perverted power and status. BTW it was the BOOMER women who voted Biden in AND the latest iteration of dangerous f*cktwits Mark Carney (Carnage) here in Canada. I am a BOOMER woman and live in an area of misguided, radicalized dimwit boomer women who are so stuck in their old, outdated ways and as 'church-oriented' goers regularly attend to be forgiven for their audacity, and ignorance. They drank ALL the cool-aid and refuse to RECOGNIZE THE FALSE in their narrow lives as they flourish in their 'gated communities', trying desperately to control the narrative, with no idea of the erosion and dis-empowerment of the middle and working class women around them 'they' are responsible for. The 'division' you speak of had and has to occur BEFORE any semblance of change can occur. This has been true throughout history and will remain so forever. Such is the nature of paradigm shifts in life, consciousness, discernment, questioning the status quo and authority, calling out government overreach and abuse of power.
Our very rights and freedoms are at risk and are at the pinnacle of this shift. There are many diverse realities. Who will 'define reality' are those who maintain the status quo and even tho' you may think you are 'the last to be uncaptured' you are still being held hostage to a system that is broken and needs to fall apart.
Welcome to the 'golden age' of change that most BOOMERS will not see the light of day of....as it will take many generations to turn this ship that has been headed for the abyss in the last 40 to 50 years (the BOOMER generation). Hold on b/c the ride is rocky ahead and fraught with much uncertainty and unrest. NEVER has it been more relevant to access strength of resolve, tenacity and integrity with a clear-headed and grounded mindset and purpose, all the while, (dare I say) with an open heart and mind to the possibilities of what could be.
WE have come to that point where revolution in awareness MUST happen to wake people up to the cold hard realities of the what, who, why, how and when WE got here.
Elizabeth is a truth-teller and articulates the false EVERY time....and as usual the truth is a hard pill to swallow.....SO BE IT!!!
I don't know.... the worst AWFLs are not boomers but the next generation below, at least in my circle. I think the warped mindset crosses all demographics and it's just another psyops to try to divide us. They want to stir up the younger generations so they will pillage and plunder their elders without remorse.
I completely agree that "terms such as BOOMERS were clearly coined by the controllers to sow more division amongst the population".
Boomers were the children of a generation that came out of the second word war and voted for socialism … at least in Britain.
Just for interest, and as a possible example of the beginning of the slide into secular degeneracy, the term ‘wife swapping’ was first coined in 1954. The oldest boomer would have been nine.
Another Jones here! Yes I always felt the ones ten years older and up were responsible for the mess, Vietnam especially, which took place during our middle and high school years. And yet the war machine kept churning and refuses to diminish. My bleeding heart liberal and feminist leanings were upended because of it, and I took the red pill 18 years ago. No going back!! So much of what the culture tried to tell us was such a lie!
WooHoo Crush.....THESE are great links...thank-you!!
Yup.....it ain't a pretty legacy going back to a generation who were not only ignorant, but were also idealistic in the weirdest spaced out way. I put it down to a misguided concept of 'free-love ~ drugs ~ rock'n'roll etc etc. Hey, I was there, I know of what I speak. Looking back I believe WE were lost souls on a roller coaster ride of delusion and a mistaken identity of who WE thought we were.
The powers that be want as much momentum as possible to leverage hate against the “BOOMERS”,” so there won’t be as much push back when the powers confiscate their assets, liberties, and lives. This was put in motion many years ago, and I have been watching it unfold since about 2008. Remember the Emanuel brother who pushed the idea that no one should really live beyond 70-75 years? Disturbingly, Canada is already broadcasting the work of an American engineer and a computer scientist paid by a University for a study where they conclude the most efficient way to get rid of the expensive “elder problem” is to MAID them, and HUNT THEM DOWN with cheap assassins if necessary!! The paperwork/ laws are probably already in place .
Whatever Trump can accomplish, he has only a few months left before things will freeze before the mid terms. Several hundred war mongers, climate hoaxers, and especially mass murdering medical scammers have to be hanged and a thousand more sent to prison, or the next election will be the end of any progress and the Evil will regain power.
Fauci is still walking around free. The ghouls who started the war with Russia are still pulling strings.
But I love your optimism and enthusiasm. Can I buy some? I've watched for forty years as we lost everything. Could use a strong dose of Hopium.
The current administration seems able to continue to push an America first agenda even when the general consensus is that “he is done.” Don’t give up hope. Despair may literally be the fuel the dark side survives on. No matter what, love your neighbor. And smile.
But the younger cohort also has to get real. You can’t spend spend spend on luxury goods or even $7.50 Starbucks every day, go out to dinner or use uber eats every night, buy numerous $15-20 cocktails, and then whine and complain you have no money to buy a house as big as M&D had after they worked and aged for 25-40 years. The concept of deferred gratification has turned to I want what I want when I want it and if I don’t get that life is unaffordable and the older people are stealing my future.
The young complain about interest rates of 6% on morgages. Ha. In the early 80's the interest rates were 18% or more! Back then there were popular programs like "This Old House" showing how to do remodeling for do-it-yourselfers. My local high school had an adult class on how to build a house yourself, and many in my area did just that. Even further back in the 30's you could buy a house kit from Sears to assemble yourself. Can you see any of these feeble, Latte drinking, effeminate, entitled Zoomers doing anything like that? They barely know how to change a lighbulb.
Grew up in a 1929 Sears kit house, now live in an 1894 Victorian with almost the same layout. But I digress, I want to discuss what brought us boomers to the dance. There are a few dots I always remind myself that brought us to today, to add to the above list. We navigated the corporate buyouts of the 80’s that gutted corporations and pensions in cahoots with the lawyers. We navigated local governments that discovered how to use regulations and lawyers to control and enrich themselves to increase property costs at every step. The most important dot that put me on my way to understanding exactly how “things” worked was when ex-senator Liddy Dole, wife of the Majority Leader was made president of the Red Cross at 50% more salary than the hard-working president of the manufacturing company I worked for.
None of those responsible for the seeds of today were boomers, like the generation today we walked into a “an in-place system” that required careful navigation and foregoing what was = to the $7.50 lattes of today. I am optimistic that the bell-curve distribution of those that navigate well today will remain the same, but it will look decidedly different.
One important caveat: those responsible for and participating in the rampant corruption at every level must be held accountable and removed and they and we know who they are.
And….. cram ever more tiny houses in newer neighborhoods with 10 feet between each one to dramatically increase property taxes.
Young folks should move outside city limits and make certain they have at least one extra bedroom for a home office, because corporations don’t want productive employees in large urban buildings. I got kicked out of my office 25 years ago. I worked for a Fortune 100 company and they closed ALL offices in Florida except one in Coral Gables across the highway from the Miami International Airport. Coral gables is the capital of Latin America and many VIPs and C-level execs got off the plane to do business. It was extreme fancy with black teak walls like a yacht.
They've put incredible bureaucratic and "permitting" obstacles to doing any home remodeling, building on, etc. Ask anyone who has their house burn down in the California fires how that's going.
Yes but it’s on steroids in California. Why it’s almost like they want the people to forfeit their property so the homeless can move in or make it a nature reserve or something. But still require the payment of property taxes on a house that no longer exists.
Just wait…. The LA planning commission will build another Cabrini Green group of towers for homeless people and illegal aliens. Nearby residents need to buy some firearms and ammo illegally in Arizona or Nevada to protect themselves because their government doesn’t care if they are robbed and raped.
The key to remodeling is to never pull a permit unless absolutely necessary. Do the work yourself or only hire small businesses to do the work. No one should live on the Pacific Coast, those people are insane.
Yup. There's been ONE house fully permitted in the Palisades area since the fire. Except it wasn't burned in the fire. It was permitted before the fire.
Regulations would prohibit the building of those kit houses today. Remodeling requires permits. Building requires a *lot* of permits. "Latte drinking, effeminate, entitled Zoomers" weren't the ones who voted for all that cruft piled on top of the building or remodeling process.
I'm stuck in the middle as a member of Gen X, but I can admit that as my generation grew up, we voted for a lot of that, same as my parents and grandparents did. And all of the other stuff that plagues the youth of today in an economic sense. I didn't, but plenty of my cohort did.
And if kids these days don't know how to change a lightbulb, isn't that a massive failure of parenting?
It's possible that 40 or 50 years ago a fair number of average people liked the idea of city planning to keep up property values, and certainly some regulations and permitting are needed to make sure the homes are safe, the sewers don't leak into the groundwater, and natural gas lines don't leak and explode.
But somehow the process has gotten out of control in many parts of the US, and undoubtedly other developed nations as well.
Heck NO. We purchased our last two homes in places with no HOA’s and that was on purpose. No psychotic clipboard Nazis for us. We live in a very nice neighborhood and everyone keeps their home nice and all of us are continuously improving them.
My parents bought their house in 1960 for $8500. I think he made about $50 a week. Of course, that was when gas was 10 cents a gallon and a loaf of bread was a nickel.
Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University recommends rice and beans and beans and rice until you pay off debts, build up a six month emergency fund , and then continue on beans and rice until you acquire enough cash for a down payment on a home. Then pay off the home quickly. Why? So you can live like no one else, and give like no one else.
Ah memories, the Sears kit house needed dining room furniture, off the entire family went to the Salvage Store, found a “not to anyone’s taste” dining room set and ate beans and wieners off of it for quite awhile.
Even the 1000 square foot now-70-year-old houses are unaffordable in most parts of the country. The 1950s 1050 square foot house I grew up in in suburban Kansas City is now "worth" over 300K.
Kansas City is one of the cheapest parts of the country. And the neighborhood, while still tolerable, isn't as good as when I lived there. The high school is just under 50% white kids. One's kid probably wouldn't get beat up every day, assuming he or she is white, but then again, there might be significant gang activity and racial tension, not to mention rather lowered academic standards.
I appreciate your insightful optimism. Like many others, I see the covid criminals still walking free, the bankers still fattening themselves off of the working class, the elites still building a surveillance state and a large swath of the population still fast asleep, fat, dumb and happy. I believe that civilizations follow the same cycles as the natural seasons, outlined in the book, "The Fourth Turning", and in the Seven Laws of the Harvest, a Bible Study that I need to look up again, (possibly John MacArthur). Some people, like these two, Jeff Childers, and our own amazing Elizabeth Nickson, can bring invaluable insight to the less gifted of us, just about anyone can understand that spring always comes after winter, and even the best fruit will eventually rot and die. Blessings to all the warriors!
Honestly, I don't know why you--and Trump--are clinging to the debt-based financial system where, no matter what, the government has to go crawling to rich people to beg the money needed for common needs. This system, as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford pointed out long ago, could be eliminated instantly by a system that recognized the government's sovereign right to issue currency as Lincoln did with the Greenbacks and Kennedy tried to do with the silver certificates before he was killed for it. It would mean a great deal if Absurdistan became a voice for monetary reform. Thomas Massie says, "End the Fed." Dennis Kucinich entered the NEED Act as proposed legislation in 2011. It's in the Green Party platform. Please look seriously at the Three Sages Substack and the massive amount of information there. The backing for government-issued non-debt currency is the productive economy. It's why Russia is winning the new Cold War. It's the next logical step for the Trump economic program.
Until the demons are thrown in prison forever or hanged, nothing will change. They will always be able to pay silly fines that only go into the pockets of those doing the "fining" or collecting. Look at big pharma. Billions in fines paid for wrongdoing and then they just keep doing the wrongdoing over and over. There are no deterrents. Nothing to scare these thugs into thinking twice about doing wrong.
Thank you for this uplifting article, for pulling together all the global pieces which show the tide is turning. When we compare 2025 to 2024, it gives hope to me, especially in watching the USA under Donald Trump. He has a deep well of intelligent and dedicated people in his administration who are well equipped to carry on this fight. There is still much to do to clear the rot and ensure elections can no longer be stolen.
I wish I was as optimistic about Canada. Without a free press, the bulk of electors are ignorant of what our gov't has done and continues to do to us. The only people who are aware are on X, which is why the first bills of this 'new' gov't involve censorship of speech and expression. I don't know what it will take to wake the liberal supporters up from their smug hubris that we're somehow better than the USA. It might happen if the Supreme Court of Canada strikes down the 'Notwithstanding Clause' and provinces start seceding. But even then I'm afraid they'll find a way to blame Trump.
Canada is in dire condition... Carney is a a globalist puppet of the city of London and the citizens here are SO brainwashed and apathetic... it disgusts me. They are sleepwalking into totalitarian socialism, and what makes it worse is precisely our smugness... I would move to the USA in a second if I could, I'm so sick of friend's and relatives TDS.
Absolutely! The ONLY reason we're still here is b/c of 2 young grandkids (newborn & 2 1/2) I'm a Yank, and we'd be in FL in a heartbeat. Sadly, my adult grandson does NOT qualify as an American, despite his mom being one. He can't even get a greencard.
Oh well... we are leaving in 5 weeks for 2 months in FL for Feb/ March. Can't wait. Spent a month there (Feb 2025) and saw ONE burka. Loved it.
Wow! Depressing. Accurate. So there IS hope? Only if the Peace President, Trump, will stop funding endless genocide and wars. That doesn't appear to be on the horizon.
California is losing another oil refinery. Moving to a red state. Texas, I think. Not taking it anymore. Along with others leaving, California will lose 20% of its refinery output. What could possibly go wrong? Newscum is the poster boy for state destruction. How he can show his face but he’s just a demon in a bespoke skin suit.
I’m a middle Boomer who rejected the Woodstock nation. My parents were atheists. I became a Christian. I went to public school and we homeschooled our children, and now my grandchildren are homeschooled . I study history and theology. My wife was a full time Mom and wife for all except 6 months of our 45 year marriage. We shunned all debt except for our home and paid that off quickly. Zero debt now. Young folks need to study Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University to learn how to manage their finances. All Boomers were not psychotic greedy people. Some of us were and still are very conservative in the most important ways. We always were for free speech and common sense .
I’m an early boomer and grew up like you - doing the hard stuff to provide for a better future. I’m constantly amazed at the materialism of young and middle aged people today. We had what we needed and some stuff we wanted and took a car trip vacation each year and I still think it was a great life.
Doesn’t matter… the people of Ohio see him as conservative and he is more conservative than the democrat who will oppose him. Is Trump also a RINO? He loves the H1B program and wants to increase legal immigration
Another great read this morning EN, thanks. I see a lot of "let's blame someone else" in responses, pull your heads out, we ALL have to look forward, not back or who. We just need to see that there is a change beginning to happen and we, who support it are focused enough, can make it happen.
Always a phenomenal analysis, Ms. Nickson. I am grateful that you are so fearless. And maybe it’s just stubborn cantankerousness, but we need more, and not less, truth tellers.
Lizzie says: <<Intellectuals hung entire careers criticizing the soulless lives of the middle class suburbanite, despite the fact that, almost universally, the entire world wants those lives.>>
I must defend the New Urbanist movement which did not seek to restrict suburban sprawl per se but provide a better template for property development — the traditional neighborhood and town. Their assertion that suburban sprawl is extremely defective in multiple dimensions is still quite sound.
True dat. Just ask any professional in the New Urbanist movement. But the whole truth is more complicated. As sensible as New Urbanist concepts are, many (most?) Americans want their yards and garages and pools and unused bedrooms and man caves and picket fences and expansive lawns. And they are willing to endure lengthy, inefficient, polluting commutes in single-occupancy vehicles to work in order to afford their suburban 'castle'.
Please be careful of stereotyping BOOMERs! As a member of “generation jones” which is the youngest group of the boomers, I find it offensive and frankly emblemic of coercive propaganda. The boomers as a whole did not do the nasty things certain controlling groups advertise. These superhuman destructive feats were conducted by the government institutions such as the federal reserve, CIA, etc. at the behest of the controllers during the peak of boomers. Not by the boomer- cohort. The boomers as a whole were hard-working, honest , church-oriented people. Not f…ing BOOMERS.
Also we may have been the last generation uncaptured by the f…ing gaming empire. The terms such as BOOMERS were clearly coined by the controllers to sow more division amongst the population, not to define reality.
Kathryn, sorry to say when the tar brush comes out everyone gets covered. I am one of the 1% of the nation, and a boomer, who heard his country calling. (USMC, Captain Infantry) Yes, the middle and lower middle classes of the boomer generation have more or less tried to hold up their end of the bargain. But, the group of self serving whining cry babies who protested the Vietnam war, not because it was a bad fight and it was, but because it dawned on them that Richard Nixon, might end all college deferments, and they might have to go fight and get killed, made a mess and thought Woodstock was a good idea. They rubbed their thumbs in their parent’s eyes, and said nothing but nasty things to everyone and everything that was around them. And then….and then….They traded in their tie dyed clothes and hemp Birkenstocks for pinstripes and Gucci loafers, they strip mined this nation and the world. When they feel guilty they build libraries on the college campus’ they attended and name the building after themselves. One could go on and on. Unluckily you are part of the Boomer cohort that the younger Y, all Z and Alpha’s revile. They are angry and change is coming. Hard to say how and when, but it will be unexpected in manner and sooner than later. One good news story, the churches were full on Christmas Eve for midnight services. Demographically it was families within the age group of 60 years old and younger. The controllers? If this keeps going the way it looks to be going, the controllers will lose control. They are in total defcon 1 mode. They see and smell trouble coming and it is coming for them. Think on the bar room scene in the Clint Eastwood movie “Unforgiven” Gene Hackman’s character says “You just shot an unarmed man!” Eastwood’s character replies “Well he shoulda armed himself.” Find a Zoomer male and offer to buy him coffee or something like that, then ask him what they think. It’s worth it to try to understand their cohort. They will be in charge here soon enough. Good to know what they are thinking.
Much of what you say is valid, but you may have missed my central point( Maybe my fault): The stereotypical terms “Boomer,” “GenerationX,” “Millennials” were coined to create division between “age groups.” These age groups are a manufactured notion useful to the controllers to create strife. Just as the “Hippies” served their purpose, especially in useful arenas such as San Francisco and Woodstock . There were few hippies in the flyover zone aka heartland, and virtually none in my age groups. (My older brother served in Vietnam. ). Some authors even ascribe the hippie movement as being promulgated by the CIA.
I stand by my statement that the whole BOOMER designation is false and misleading. You may be correct that the younger generations may call for reparation, but that will be because of the deception and fabrications pushed forward regarding the BOOMER age group (20 % of the population)
Generation designations were never popular before. I think it grew legs when Tom Brokaw called the WWII generation The Greatest generation. Every generation since then has been given a name. Who is giving out the names? I have no idea.
These pointless names are just another way to divide us against ourselves. That works well for the people who intend to control us. And unfortunately, it does work.
and before somewhere in the middle of that they pegged a silent generation: Google says.... 🥸
The Silent Generation refers to people born roughly between 1928 and 1945, sandwiched between the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers, characterized by growing up during the Great Depression, World War II, and the Korean War, fostering values of conformity, hard work, duty, and resilience, often appearing quiet but leading significant movements like the Civil Rights Movement, and known for being thrifty and valuing stability.
No tantrums because government was not being a prick back then
I had thought about the Lost Generation, which was examined by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald. It overlaps with your silent generation. I don't know who is in charge of sorting this all out.
My main point is we didn't start seeing a need to name every generation and pitting them against each other, until after the Greatest Generation. As you say, the government wasn't being a prick back then.
Agreed. Also the time line re: Tom Brokaw seems about right.
If you haven't read Brokaw's book, I highly recommend it .
I’ll give it a read, thank you!
I am in my early 70's and have no idea what I would be called. Probably goes back to my lack of math skills, when the teacher started mixing numbers and letters I was lost. Algebra I think it was called. Wonder what generation that is today?
WEF narrative
The division stems from Transnational captured MSM
Jive that allowed younger generations to "blame boomers" for their own shortcomings.
"Boomer" is no longer an age group, it's a mind set. But I suppose we all need to be clearer about our terminology.
Speaking of which...
Here's my interpretation:
https://individualistsunite.substack.com/p/get-off-my-lawn?r=z324w
To my mind, Boomer mentality isn't inherently pro-conservative or anti-liberal. It's both Neoconservative & Neoliberal embrace of the Post-WWII "Rules-Based" International Order (I also like the terms Neo-Marxist & Neo-Trotskyite). Even as a late X-er myself (some might say Xillenial), I am very much a part of the "Get Off My Lawn" crowd!
Here's my definition: People are people. Every generation has every kind of belief and personality. It starts being bigoted, when people assign negative characteristics to an entire generation, every bit as much as when a person says blacks are lazy or Jews are greedy. It's all bigoted.
These days, bigots can't say blacks are lazy and Jews are greedy (in public). What's a bigot to do? Simple. Make it about generations. People seem to accept bigotry about generations.
Those who went to Viet Nam and lost their lives did not die defending their country. Their lives were wasted by disgusting politicians.
It was pretty bad, and McNamara knew it was almost cause even during his days in the Kennedy administration. One thing I know from the guys i served with, (I missed the war by a couple of years) is they fought for each other, the notion of the “nation” died pretty quickly as the lead got hot. Afghanistan was a similar situation only it lasted 20 years, cost a trillion dollars and we lost nearly 5,000 Americans. Rumsfeld and Gates both knew that it was a lost cause. Especially Gates since he had seen what a mess Bush 43 had left upon his departure. It is all shameful.
I was going to mention other wars but decided Nam was enough. Our congress and past presidents are so bad and now Trump seems to be following in their footsteps, something I didn’t expect.
I think Trump is engineering a path away from the the British Colonial path that took us into 2 world wars and the US being a defender of EuroColonial interests and away from the City Of London and NY Bankster forever wars . We need to finish the American Revolution once and for all and finally destroy the British Empire aspirations for world control . Look what happened today in DC with Zelensky. Peace with Russia and the end of MI6 looks wonderful to me. A true Pax Americana may lie ahead.
60,000 dead, three times that whose lives were profoundly damaged or restrained, a trillion dollars pissed away, practically destroyed the country, derailed the military, and left a nothing country counting 300,000 citizens who disappeared in the fog.
How sad to learn that the Vietnam war was more about the massive drug trade from Vietnam, the massive human and sex trading organization by the CIA. The CIA sure has its hands in a lot of nefarious activity. Funny that war coincides with the sex, drugs and rock &roll era. Nothing is by mistake...its all planned. Its been planned since before the world wars...so boomers can be accused of causing many problems, but out of ignorance, nothing else. Imagine if they had the technology back then that they have now...its the accelerant that added fuel to a fire that was slow burning over the years. They needed the creativity of the minds, but also wanted to stifle it after they had it in their hands. Ive said for years, the Uber wealthy made money as capitalist, climbing the ladder and then removing the rungs for regular people, and convincing them that socialism is the way to go...pecking away, year after year. Regan said it perfectly "freedom isnt really free, its earned, and we are always just one generation away from having it stolen from us" (something like that) it starts with schools. We are dangerously close to losing any of the brains we used to raise. They're stuck in an iPhone or video game. Bag of doritos beside them...no exercise or proper sleep. Parents keep their children up late so they can sleep in and not worry...its sad. ADHD has never been worse. Kids are sick, fat and lazy...blame it on the poisons, air, food, water, vaccines....it all boils down to money, and it started a loooong time ago.
Just like the war in Afghanistan was about growing opium poppies under the direction of the CIA and protection of the US military. Since the teetotaling Taliban took over Fentynl has had to take its place.
This is the comment I’m reposting all over
I still remember the conversations I had with 2 friends in Massachusetts before they deployed and were both killed in Viet Nam. Such a waste of human treasure , I'll never forget them or the tragedy of their loss.
Psyops will degrade as “find a zoomer male and buy him a coffee, or something like that”. Right there! This is what we should all be working towards.
Yes, I do this already. Just conversing with a fellow shopper is very fruitful!!
Such an unfortunate affliction, among all of us, the need to put labels on "groups" of individual human beings: "boomers"; 'gen-z"; " millennials" -- merely because of the time in which they were born? Lots and lots of words to elucidate the Reasons such and such-named individuals are to be blamed, or pitied, or otherwise plastered with attributes that have little or even Nothing to do with who they might be. It is a practice of annhilation, for all concerned. I would say Stop. And Think.
Yep. All part of the effort to de-humanize.
Wow IM sending this comment all over the place
Captain, get off my lawn…
Say what?
Huh
Charles, Sorry. This lower middle class draft dodging Woodstock attendee has no regrets refusing to go kill foreigners and has little respect for those who did. You didn't hear any calling other than what any lemming would respond to, questioning nothing. I suffered the comments and attitudes of men like you 55 years ago and still can't believe you hold any measure of pride in what you did.
I respected and loved my parents, went on to build my own family , many businesses, and now have grandchildren. Nuance is a bitch ain't it.
This is best comment ever ! Chas Weymiss nailed it
And I’m betting Schumer was one of those crybaby protestors that became a yuppie . Then a rich rich yuppie Pelosi and
Nadler in there somewhere too
Charles Wemyss jr this is incredible and this is the post/comment I meant to send all over
👍🎄✝️
The critics of Boomers make it sound like we are all living high on the hog. As a blue collar Boomer lucky enough to have retired with an old style pension, I can tell you that is not the case with me or anyone else I know. My gross income now on my pension is 60% (correction, it's what I made in 1982, not 60% of it) of what I grossed working in 1982!
This.
Late boomer married to a mid-boomer. We lived frugally, worked physical jobs, saved, and now are just comfortable, at least for the time being.
It may be that the boomers at the very top made out well and manipulated financial things to their benefit, but given the same circumstances, a percentage of any other generation would do exactly the same. Greed is not limited to boomers
Hello Vermont farm wife. I live in the Northeast Kingdom myself.
Windsor County here.
True. I was born in 1947 and my husband in 1946. We both made so little for many years that we could barely make ends meet. No luxuries. We were in our early forties before we bought a house with an FDA loan—a small two-bedroom house, which was all we could afford. When I was in my sixties I inherited enough money from my father to remodel the same house: high property taxes in our area made it impossible for us to move. We’re comfortable now, having more than we need but far from wealthy. We’re very grateful for what we have and have never aspired to wealth accumulation. Giving is very important to us. We’re pretty typical, I think.
find a good charity to give some of your wealth after your deaths.
Sing it sister!!
We were the first group captured. In the beginning it was so subtle, nobody noticed it. The Lilliputians started binding with the tiniest threads a long time ago. That's why so many old liberals can't open their eyes. They've been bound shut.
You are at least technically correct. Who can forget the advance of PAC-Man and Super Mario? I personally never played a single game, being immersed in my job, practicing martial arts, and hiking in the Rockies at the time.
But the real roll out of the spider’s web was in succeeding years. Later, as a mother I saw the complete take over of my young children’s attention from healthy games and toys by the “arch-evil” Game-Boy which led to internet games. I actually destroyed one of those parasitical contrivances, but my husband bought our child another one. This struggle continued for years.
Climbing mountains is my favorite hobby, but my heart says no more. I retired early and climbed many. Now small hills are difficult
I have spent my later years farming. Strangely enough I learned to thrive on hard repetitive work.
But who can forget the magnificent Oregon Trail game, essentially a death simulator wrapped in a history lesson. Kids and I loved that one and it was quite educational. They never played any other video games, maybe a little early Pac Man. Grateful for their disinterest. Because grandkids today are totally addicted and it’s horrible!!!!
I never bought the Oregon trail game for our daughter, though I did purchase and played 'where in the world is Carmen Sandiego' with her as a geography lesson. I also purchased her Mario teaches typing which worked very well. I never learned to type, and obviously don't play piano.
We are arguing this point as ‘boomers’ (hate that word) because we are liminal. The full scale and explosive disruption in society taking place through our era was a threshold time. Some of us resisted, and some were sucked into, and some willingly helped the chaos. So we are indeed not uniform. I would suggest that “THE” defining disruption of the period, still ongoing, and unfortunately NOT resisted by those inclined to ease and self-first is the decimation of traditional Christian belief, in particular that of the Catholic Church, per Vatican II and since.
Not just the Roman church. I went backwards from most Boomers. Atheist parents and me conversion to Christianity. Woodstock disgusts me.
I’ll give it a read. My Dad was an Army Corps of Engineers Lieutenant, my aunts and uncles were there too.
THANK YOU! I’m a late boomer. Youngest of six to widowed mom. Started working at 10 years old for the neighborhood elderly, washing dishes, pulling weeds, cleaning house. Worked diligently for every dime for my whole life.
Born in 1947, and in full agreement with you, Kathryn.
Thank you, Kathryn, for saying these words. I've nobody but you push back against this movement against the Boomers. Thank you.
Meant: I've HEARD nobody but you...
John Perkins (Boomer) wrote "The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man".
Clearly explains who the parasites were during those working years of Boomers.
Oligarch/Empire/Imperial/Bankster/War Mongering/corruptible Gov't actors/classes raped and pillaged around the world indiscriminately, thefting away economic growth opportunity for all of humanity.
Great recommended read as to which groups really need to be dressed down/destroyed.
Archeive.org has book as a free pdf read in multiple languages.
https://archive.org/search?query=confessions+of+an+economic+hit+man
Thank you for the recommendation, I will read this. Especially since, I’ve seen it referenced a number of times.
I agree. I'm a Boomer and I do not support any of the junk that we're blamed for. Also, and do not know one Boomer friend that does either.
Hello there Canadian! I was married to the smartest kindest man, who was a great Canadian. Honest and hard working farm boy from the Canadian prairies. He kept us working day and night full throttle. There was never a point in time where we rested on any laurels ourselves. I pause at categorizing people by their age, and recognize instead the intentional dismantling of the community, human standards, medical system, farming, civil liberties, etc. etc. This has been planned and carried out by a strata of “actors” (only vaguely defined) for over a hundred years.
The harridans, dilettantes, mesmerized blue-hairs, vicious ant-life, drug- and alcohol- dazed corrupt multitudes are the artifacts and detritus of this evil campaign. The evil controllers have reached a point where they think they have enough power to finish off the job, or they wouldn’t have launched their latest attacks. I think they are wrong. Elizabeth is right about that, and she is a treasure.
Here, Here and right on the mark! What I neglected to state is I am angry (although you most likely picked up on :)....However, in my defence I say "the gloves are off" and the time for playing nice is gone. WE need the "Promethean Spirit" to rise up in all people whatever generation. In as much as I do know the 'divisive' has been planned....know this....WE are winning this 5th generation warfare. The 'evil-doers' know it and they are f*cking terrified and will NOT give it up and will die trying.....hence the 'latest attacks'. Even though I am of a generation, I believe this 'plan' has been in place for at least 400 years. I keep repeating.....this is a long road ahead and it will be meaner and meaner, faster and faster, crazier and crazier. All the more reason to stay centred, healthy, keep the dialogue open and deeply grounded in community.
My focus (main rant) was on those women who were driving the machinery that kept the illusion alive. The very unfortunate part of that is the "vicious anti-life, etc. etc." are still exerting whatever powerlessness they have. I agree about the 'intentional dismantling of community", etc. etc. that you list. However, it ain't gonna work. There are too many people hurting and they are rising up.....even in Canada, albeit we do live in a huge country with a minuscule population (39,000,000) spread out over a massive landscape.
Yes to the Canadian prairies, where I am from, and to the 'farm boy' sensibility that I was raised in the atmosphere of. There is NOTHING like a real man from the prairies and there was NEVER a possibility of resting on laurels. WE were all too busy getting on with it.
A reminder......in life, nothing ever happens to you, it happens for you.
100%
Nice letter, we will remain kindred spirits , as Anne of Green Gables said. I this old war horse ain’t finished.
Reading all these posts I feel inclined to clarify what 'boomers' I was referring to!! I am NOT talking about those boomers who were hard working, ADULTS in the room (raising responsible younguns) and creating their conscious communities. I am referring to those who took it ALL for granted in their ivory towers of elitism and assumed that nothing in their world would be affected. Those who fell for the corrupted systems they could manipulate to their advantage, who were indoctrinated, lacking in a moral compass. Those who in that 'comfort' did not (nor do not) bother to question EVERYTHING. I believe this is about 30% of the population in the US of A and in Canada. A reminder it was the boomer women that voted for Biden and Carney (Carnage).
Completely off topic.....but relevant and connected!
The 'C' word (I don't speak covid) is a glaring example of those 30% that went along to get along....while the mandates were put in place and threatened and destroyed lives, families, communities, businesses. I am referring to those that condone the exploitation and sexualization of children, the skewed and dangerous trans-humanist agenda (that is FINALLY being challenged.) I am referring to the politicians, corporations, legal systems, the broken medical model, the captured universities, et al.....the list is massive and goes on and the corruption runs deep. I DO
realize this does NOT lay solely in the lap of boomers, but covers many demographics.
About those "mandates"!
That the mandates TRIED to restrict closeness to others, heart to heart, kisses, hand shakes and everything that enhances communication and love of each other is ONE of the crimes against humanity. These fear-driven narratives were at the core of the how this could and did happen.
On a more positive, life enhancing note....
About The Heart ~
https://drtomcowan.com/blogs/the-new-biology-learning-center/webinar-from-december-17th-2025
Quote ~
"Your heart creates a toroidal electromagnetic field that radiates six metres from the body. This field syncs with the Earth, the Sun, and every living being around you. It is a resonator. A tuner. A conductor. It aligns the rhythm of your cells. It feels. It remembers. It emits. And it responds to emotion, thought, light, sound, and breath. When you feel love, grief, fear, or peace, your heart transmits it. It is the central frequency modulator of your biology.
They do not want coherent humans. They want disrupted, inflamed, fragmented people who rely on drugs to survive. That is the business model. And the fake heart pump lie is central to it. Your heart is not a pressure valve. It is a vortex. A field tuner."
Just Sayin'....
However Kathryn......those 'hard-working, honest, church-oriented' BOOMERS may have worked hard for what they garnered, BUT then they became complacent and blind to the reality of life around them, enjoying their bounty and resting on their laurels, creating (spawning) a class of 'emasculated men' and 'harridan women' with ignorant ideologies, and THEN sent these radicalized women into the workforce and universities to skew the truth of education, climate hysteria, transgender f*ckery, all the while emblazoned on their chests words like 'patriarchy' shouting the victim cry and blaming men for their lot in life, while spouting the feminist perverted agenda. They parroted male slogans, childless, frigid, unhealthy, hard, naive and ignorant of what was occurring around them. WHO do you think supported these 'government institutions' to do their bidding? It was ELITE BOOMER WOMEN who were hell bent on NOT relinquishing their bounty, their funding, their status and ALL that their BOOMER husbands had heart attacks over.....dying to maintain the illusion of perverted power and status. BTW it was the BOOMER women who voted Biden in AND the latest iteration of dangerous f*cktwits Mark Carney (Carnage) here in Canada. I am a BOOMER woman and live in an area of misguided, radicalized dimwit boomer women who are so stuck in their old, outdated ways and as 'church-oriented' goers regularly attend to be forgiven for their audacity, and ignorance. They drank ALL the cool-aid and refuse to RECOGNIZE THE FALSE in their narrow lives as they flourish in their 'gated communities', trying desperately to control the narrative, with no idea of the erosion and dis-empowerment of the middle and working class women around them 'they' are responsible for. The 'division' you speak of had and has to occur BEFORE any semblance of change can occur. This has been true throughout history and will remain so forever. Such is the nature of paradigm shifts in life, consciousness, discernment, questioning the status quo and authority, calling out government overreach and abuse of power.
Our very rights and freedoms are at risk and are at the pinnacle of this shift. There are many diverse realities. Who will 'define reality' are those who maintain the status quo and even tho' you may think you are 'the last to be uncaptured' you are still being held hostage to a system that is broken and needs to fall apart.
Welcome to the 'golden age' of change that most BOOMERS will not see the light of day of....as it will take many generations to turn this ship that has been headed for the abyss in the last 40 to 50 years (the BOOMER generation). Hold on b/c the ride is rocky ahead and fraught with much uncertainty and unrest. NEVER has it been more relevant to access strength of resolve, tenacity and integrity with a clear-headed and grounded mindset and purpose, all the while, (dare I say) with an open heart and mind to the possibilities of what could be.
WE have come to that point where revolution in awareness MUST happen to wake people up to the cold hard realities of the what, who, why, how and when WE got here.
Elizabeth is a truth-teller and articulates the false EVERY time....and as usual the truth is a hard pill to swallow.....SO BE IT!!!
Just Sayin'.....
I don't know.... the worst AWFLs are not boomers but the next generation below, at least in my circle. I think the warped mindset crosses all demographics and it's just another psyops to try to divide us. They want to stir up the younger generations so they will pillage and plunder their elders without remorse.
Exactly! But the younger generation who thinks they will end up with cheap houses or assets will get nothing. Black Rock et al will get the spoils.
I completely agree that "terms such as BOOMERS were clearly coined by the controllers to sow more division amongst the population".
Boomers were the children of a generation that came out of the second word war and voted for socialism … at least in Britain.
Just for interest, and as a possible example of the beginning of the slide into secular degeneracy, the term ‘wife swapping’ was first coined in 1954. The oldest boomer would have been nine.
Another Jones here! Yes I always felt the ones ten years older and up were responsible for the mess, Vietnam especially, which took place during our middle and high school years. And yet the war machine kept churning and refuses to diminish. My bleeding heart liberal and feminist leanings were upended because of it, and I took the red pill 18 years ago. No going back!! So much of what the culture tried to tell us was such a lie!
The evidence on DaBoomers - https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/search?q=Boomers&max-results=20&by-date=false&m=1 - a list of headnotes to articles by various authors - sorry, but willful ignorance is not an excuse!
B.S.
WooHoo Crush.....THESE are great links...thank-you!!
Yup.....it ain't a pretty legacy going back to a generation who were not only ignorant, but were also idealistic in the weirdest spaced out way. I put it down to a misguided concept of 'free-love ~ drugs ~ rock'n'roll etc etc. Hey, I was there, I know of what I speak. Looking back I believe WE were lost souls on a roller coaster ride of delusion and a mistaken identity of who WE thought we were.
I think back to Tucker’s tirade on Boomers…
Though on most things, I agree with Tucker.
Tucker is amazing but I don’t really trust him.
Agree....WEF pawn.
Thank you Kathryn for coming to our generation’s defense.
The powers that be want as much momentum as possible to leverage hate against the “BOOMERS”,” so there won’t be as much push back when the powers confiscate their assets, liberties, and lives. This was put in motion many years ago, and I have been watching it unfold since about 2008. Remember the Emanuel brother who pushed the idea that no one should really live beyond 70-75 years? Disturbingly, Canada is already broadcasting the work of an American engineer and a computer scientist paid by a University for a study where they conclude the most efficient way to get rid of the expensive “elder problem” is to MAID them, and HUNT THEM DOWN with cheap assassins if necessary!! The paperwork/ laws are probably already in place .
I like this comment. It's pretty insightful. Thanks for posting.
Excellent response on behalf of we boomers who are, as you said, hard-working, honest …
Thank you!
Whatever Trump can accomplish, he has only a few months left before things will freeze before the mid terms. Several hundred war mongers, climate hoaxers, and especially mass murdering medical scammers have to be hanged and a thousand more sent to prison, or the next election will be the end of any progress and the Evil will regain power.
Fauci is still walking around free. The ghouls who started the war with Russia are still pulling strings.
But I love your optimism and enthusiasm. Can I buy some? I've watched for forty years as we lost everything. Could use a strong dose of Hopium.
I suggest reading the Bible, for the only HOPE that really matters. The whole world needs Jesus.
!
The current administration seems able to continue to push an America first agenda even when the general consensus is that “he is done.” Don’t give up hope. Despair may literally be the fuel the dark side survives on. No matter what, love your neighbor. And smile.
Blessings!
“He is done”?? Are you talking about Trump? He’s just getting started!!!
Our only hope is the second coming of Jesus Christ, the 2nd Advent. Then justice for everything will come.
But the younger cohort also has to get real. You can’t spend spend spend on luxury goods or even $7.50 Starbucks every day, go out to dinner or use uber eats every night, buy numerous $15-20 cocktails, and then whine and complain you have no money to buy a house as big as M&D had after they worked and aged for 25-40 years. The concept of deferred gratification has turned to I want what I want when I want it and if I don’t get that life is unaffordable and the older people are stealing my future.
The young complain about interest rates of 6% on morgages. Ha. In the early 80's the interest rates were 18% or more! Back then there were popular programs like "This Old House" showing how to do remodeling for do-it-yourselfers. My local high school had an adult class on how to build a house yourself, and many in my area did just that. Even further back in the 30's you could buy a house kit from Sears to assemble yourself. Can you see any of these feeble, Latte drinking, effeminate, entitled Zoomers doing anything like that? They barely know how to change a lighbulb.
Grew up in a 1929 Sears kit house, now live in an 1894 Victorian with almost the same layout. But I digress, I want to discuss what brought us boomers to the dance. There are a few dots I always remind myself that brought us to today, to add to the above list. We navigated the corporate buyouts of the 80’s that gutted corporations and pensions in cahoots with the lawyers. We navigated local governments that discovered how to use regulations and lawyers to control and enrich themselves to increase property costs at every step. The most important dot that put me on my way to understanding exactly how “things” worked was when ex-senator Liddy Dole, wife of the Majority Leader was made president of the Red Cross at 50% more salary than the hard-working president of the manufacturing company I worked for.
None of those responsible for the seeds of today were boomers, like the generation today we walked into a “an in-place system” that required careful navigation and foregoing what was = to the $7.50 lattes of today. I am optimistic that the bell-curve distribution of those that navigate well today will remain the same, but it will look decidedly different.
One important caveat: those responsible for and participating in the rampant corruption at every level must be held accountable and removed and they and we know who they are.
These local and state governments love the increase in housing costs, all the more in property taxes they can squeeze out of the residents.
And….. cram ever more tiny houses in newer neighborhoods with 10 feet between each one to dramatically increase property taxes.
Young folks should move outside city limits and make certain they have at least one extra bedroom for a home office, because corporations don’t want productive employees in large urban buildings. I got kicked out of my office 25 years ago. I worked for a Fortune 100 company and they closed ALL offices in Florida except one in Coral Gables across the highway from the Miami International Airport. Coral gables is the capital of Latin America and many VIPs and C-level execs got off the plane to do business. It was extreme fancy with black teak walls like a yacht.
Especially in Vermont.
Agree, especially about punishment for corruption at all levels tho sadly see no indication that is likely to happen.
They've put incredible bureaucratic and "permitting" obstacles to doing any home remodeling, building on, etc. Ask anyone who has their house burn down in the California fires how that's going.
Yes but it’s on steroids in California. Why it’s almost like they want the people to forfeit their property so the homeless can move in or make it a nature reserve or something. But still require the payment of property taxes on a house that no longer exists.
Just wait…. The LA planning commission will build another Cabrini Green group of towers for homeless people and illegal aliens. Nearby residents need to buy some firearms and ammo illegally in Arizona or Nevada to protect themselves because their government doesn’t care if they are robbed and raped.
The key to remodeling is to never pull a permit unless absolutely necessary. Do the work yourself or only hire small businesses to do the work. No one should live on the Pacific Coast, those people are insane.
Yup. There's been ONE house fully permitted in the Palisades area since the fire. Except it wasn't burned in the fire. It was permitted before the fire.
Absolutely true - I’ve lived through a few CA wild fires - thankfully never lost a house but know others who have and you are correct 100%!
Regulations would prohibit the building of those kit houses today. Remodeling requires permits. Building requires a *lot* of permits. "Latte drinking, effeminate, entitled Zoomers" weren't the ones who voted for all that cruft piled on top of the building or remodeling process.
I'm stuck in the middle as a member of Gen X, but I can admit that as my generation grew up, we voted for a lot of that, same as my parents and grandparents did. And all of the other stuff that plagues the youth of today in an economic sense. I didn't, but plenty of my cohort did.
And if kids these days don't know how to change a lightbulb, isn't that a massive failure of parenting?
I am almost 70 and I never voted for ANY of that. I also never voted for tax increases or school board bonds. Homeschooling is best.
It's possible that 40 or 50 years ago a fair number of average people liked the idea of city planning to keep up property values, and certainly some regulations and permitting are needed to make sure the homes are safe, the sewers don't leak into the groundwater, and natural gas lines don't leak and explode.
But somehow the process has gotten out of control in many parts of the US, and undoubtedly other developed nations as well.
Heck NO. We purchased our last two homes in places with no HOA’s and that was on purpose. No psychotic clipboard Nazis for us. We live in a very nice neighborhood and everyone keeps their home nice and all of us are continuously improving them.
We had an 8.5% VA loan. No down payment. But you know what? So many people can’t amass a down payment. So go into the military for four years!
Our first mortgage was a VA assumption at almost 14% interest in 1981. Conventional mortgages were around 18% then.
Agree, BUT house were much less expensive too. Cost of living was much lower.
Houses were also significantly smaller and didn’t have granite this and shiny that.
And wages. Don’t forget that part. Very few had salaries over $40,000 a year and many were around $25-30,000. Or less.
My parents bought their house in 1960 for $8500. I think he made about $50 a week. Of course, that was when gas was 10 cents a gallon and a loaf of bread was a nickel.
Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University recommends rice and beans and beans and rice until you pay off debts, build up a six month emergency fund , and then continue on beans and rice until you acquire enough cash for a down payment on a home. Then pay off the home quickly. Why? So you can live like no one else, and give like no one else.
Ah memories, the Sears kit house needed dining room furniture, off the entire family went to the Salvage Store, found a “not to anyone’s taste” dining room set and ate beans and wieners off of it for quite awhile.
AMEN. The attitude you describe is a big part of the problem. No patience, no gratitude, no faith and trust in GOD.
This wisdom is lost in them.
Yes 👏👏👏
Even the 1000 square foot now-70-year-old houses are unaffordable in most parts of the country. The 1950s 1050 square foot house I grew up in in suburban Kansas City is now "worth" over 300K.
Kansas City is one of the cheapest parts of the country. And the neighborhood, while still tolerable, isn't as good as when I lived there. The high school is just under 50% white kids. One's kid probably wouldn't get beat up every day, assuming he or she is white, but then again, there might be significant gang activity and racial tension, not to mention rather lowered academic standards.
👍✝️🎄
I appreciate your insightful optimism. Like many others, I see the covid criminals still walking free, the bankers still fattening themselves off of the working class, the elites still building a surveillance state and a large swath of the population still fast asleep, fat, dumb and happy. I believe that civilizations follow the same cycles as the natural seasons, outlined in the book, "The Fourth Turning", and in the Seven Laws of the Harvest, a Bible Study that I need to look up again, (possibly John MacArthur). Some people, like these two, Jeff Childers, and our own amazing Elizabeth Nickson, can bring invaluable insight to the less gifted of us, just about anyone can understand that spring always comes after winter, and even the best fruit will eventually rot and die. Blessings to all the warriors!
Honestly, I don't know why you--and Trump--are clinging to the debt-based financial system where, no matter what, the government has to go crawling to rich people to beg the money needed for common needs. This system, as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford pointed out long ago, could be eliminated instantly by a system that recognized the government's sovereign right to issue currency as Lincoln did with the Greenbacks and Kennedy tried to do with the silver certificates before he was killed for it. It would mean a great deal if Absurdistan became a voice for monetary reform. Thomas Massie says, "End the Fed." Dennis Kucinich entered the NEED Act as proposed legislation in 2011. It's in the Green Party platform. Please look seriously at the Three Sages Substack and the massive amount of information there. The backing for government-issued non-debt currency is the productive economy. It's why Russia is winning the new Cold War. It's the next logical step for the Trump economic program.
Here! Here!
Until the demons are thrown in prison forever or hanged, nothing will change. They will always be able to pay silly fines that only go into the pockets of those doing the "fining" or collecting. Look at big pharma. Billions in fines paid for wrongdoing and then they just keep doing the wrongdoing over and over. There are no deterrents. Nothing to scare these thugs into thinking twice about doing wrong.
That may be, but you must have.a system to put in its place.
Thank you for this uplifting article, for pulling together all the global pieces which show the tide is turning. When we compare 2025 to 2024, it gives hope to me, especially in watching the USA under Donald Trump. He has a deep well of intelligent and dedicated people in his administration who are well equipped to carry on this fight. There is still much to do to clear the rot and ensure elections can no longer be stolen.
I wish I was as optimistic about Canada. Without a free press, the bulk of electors are ignorant of what our gov't has done and continues to do to us. The only people who are aware are on X, which is why the first bills of this 'new' gov't involve censorship of speech and expression. I don't know what it will take to wake the liberal supporters up from their smug hubris that we're somehow better than the USA. It might happen if the Supreme Court of Canada strikes down the 'Notwithstanding Clause' and provinces start seceding. But even then I'm afraid they'll find a way to blame Trump.
Canada is in dire condition... Carney is a a globalist puppet of the city of London and the citizens here are SO brainwashed and apathetic... it disgusts me. They are sleepwalking into totalitarian socialism, and what makes it worse is precisely our smugness... I would move to the USA in a second if I could, I'm so sick of friend's and relatives TDS.
Absolutely! The ONLY reason we're still here is b/c of 2 young grandkids (newborn & 2 1/2) I'm a Yank, and we'd be in FL in a heartbeat. Sadly, my adult grandson does NOT qualify as an American, despite his mom being one. He can't even get a greencard.
Oh well... we are leaving in 5 weeks for 2 months in FL for Feb/ March. Can't wait. Spent a month there (Feb 2025) and saw ONE burka. Loved it.
Come to the U.S.! We need as many freedom-loving awake and aware people as we can get! You WONT regret it!
Not only censorship. It's an absolute power grab, making government above the law. And no one's aware because of state sponsored media.
What did Che Guevara say about that situation? :-)
So you are in the hopium una party clap trap, with all the worshippers of genocide and democide? https://bobmoran.substack.com/p/claptrap
Wow! Depressing. Accurate. So there IS hope? Only if the Peace President, Trump, will stop funding endless genocide and wars. That doesn't appear to be on the horizon.
California is losing another oil refinery. Moving to a red state. Texas, I think. Not taking it anymore. Along with others leaving, California will lose 20% of its refinery output. What could possibly go wrong? Newscum is the poster boy for state destruction. How he can show his face but he’s just a demon in a bespoke skin suit.
I wasn’t intending to read a longer essay this morning, but boy was I sucked in, and glad I was. Thank you for your work E.N.
I'm a younger Boomer and I'm ashamed at some of my peers.
Their Leftism and their need to relive the 60s, for relevance, is misguided.
Things they used to abhor like Censorship, they now champion.
Anyone in their right mind would be MAGA, today..
Thanks for your work
I’m a middle Boomer who rejected the Woodstock nation. My parents were atheists. I became a Christian. I went to public school and we homeschooled our children, and now my grandchildren are homeschooled . I study history and theology. My wife was a full time Mom and wife for all except 6 months of our 45 year marriage. We shunned all debt except for our home and paid that off quickly. Zero debt now. Young folks need to study Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University to learn how to manage their finances. All Boomers were not psychotic greedy people. Some of us were and still are very conservative in the most important ways. We always were for free speech and common sense .
Happy new year ✝️
I’m an early boomer and grew up like you - doing the hard stuff to provide for a better future. I’m constantly amazed at the materialism of young and middle aged people today. We had what we needed and some stuff we wanted and took a car trip vacation each year and I still think it was a great life.
Pity them! They might be installed with a “bio.cyber interface” and no longer in control.
The conservatives are just as bad though. DeWine says that he loves having the Haitians in Springfield because they are such hardworking people. lol 😂
DeWine is not a Conservative....he's a RINO
Doesn’t matter… the people of Ohio see him as conservative and he is more conservative than the democrat who will oppose him. Is Trump also a RINO? He loves the H1B program and wants to increase legal immigration
You don't know what you're talking about
Okay 👌 where am I wrong?
Another great read this morning EN, thanks. I see a lot of "let's blame someone else" in responses, pull your heads out, we ALL have to look forward, not back or who. We just need to see that there is a change beginning to happen and we, who support it are focused enough, can make it happen.
Another well written piece I am sharing with all my friends and family who have IQs over 110
Wow! What an analysis.. and hopeful message in the huge world mess! I am sharing this with many this morning! Thank you!
Always a phenomenal analysis, Ms. Nickson. I am grateful that you are so fearless. And maybe it’s just stubborn cantankerousness, but we need more, and not less, truth tellers.
Lizzie says: <<Intellectuals hung entire careers criticizing the soulless lives of the middle class suburbanite, despite the fact that, almost universally, the entire world wants those lives.>>
I must defend the New Urbanist movement which did not seek to restrict suburban sprawl per se but provide a better template for property development — the traditional neighborhood and town. Their assertion that suburban sprawl is extremely defective in multiple dimensions is still quite sound.
True dat. Just ask any professional in the New Urbanist movement. But the whole truth is more complicated. As sensible as New Urbanist concepts are, many (most?) Americans want their yards and garages and pools and unused bedrooms and man caves and picket fences and expansive lawns. And they are willing to endure lengthy, inefficient, polluting commutes in single-occupancy vehicles to work in order to afford their suburban 'castle'.
