Another fantastic article Elizabeth. You've cut to the heart of the matter as always. I'm guessing by your description of the "glorious socialist paradise" in which you're living, it's most likely BC. :) Even if that's not true, there is certainly a whole lot of nutty government there.

Speaking of resignations, does anyone remember that wave of C class resignations at major companies that happened about 1.5 years ago?

Unfortunately, I believe the resignations we're seeing are creating a vacuum that will be filled by even worse people.

Kind of like this:

Matt 12:43-45

43When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order. 45Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

I cannot express how profound this Substack essay is.

Take a lap around and inside Corporate America and what you just wrote fits like a perfectly made key to expose their nonsense.

Thank you. Never have I been more certain I am in my right mind. Family doubters be damned.

Amen.

This is what happens when we slide into a Post-Christian world - and we have. For centuries we lived off the interest and the principle of Christian values, and they have now evaporated. The last fumes just wafted away.

On our continent with the foundation of Christianity, sin is not mentioned - even within the walls of many churches, y'know the very place where sin is to be named and shunned.

Thus, we no longer know what sin is, so how will we ever repent if we don't know what to repent of?

How can we make reparations if we don't know there is a need for reparation?

How may we embrace gratitude if we assume all the myriad blessings we have around us are our due?

Heavenly Father, rise up from among us those who will loudly and boldly preach the Word of God, name our sins, call us to humility and repentance, and turn our hearts to you. Open our ears, our minds, and our hearts. In Jesus' name we pray.

Thanks Elizabeth. Without a complete revolt I don’t think much will change. Most folks are placated by the scraps tossed their way. The “other” political party or politician is no better than current. The elitists/wizards have control of the levers. The curtain has been pulled back to reveal everything and most amble along head down chin on chest. I don’t want to get involved. They may block me on Facebook OMG!

I agree with you. The Administrative State is dealing with extreme fear. I have extreme fear too. I truly believe a hot war is in play and will be enough of a distraction for the Patriot Act to be fully implemented and aggressively enforced. This will give the ruling class a chance to get rid of the detractors and scare all the sheep back into total submission. BLM, Antifa, SPLC, LGBTQ+ etc etc current tools of distraction will be sent to the Gulag along with the likes of you and me. After all enemies of the state have to be controlled!

The nihilistic tag is pure projection. The woke religion is a nihilistic religion of the self. Check out some of the libs of tic toc videos that demonstrate the screaming, vacuous, self certainty of some of the morally degenerate left.

I re read Dostoyevsky’s “Notes from the underground” and there are some fascinating allegories with the protagonist and the authoritarian woke media/government organs.

Ps. Two thumbs up for Gilcrist and our lovely Elizabeth.

Keep your chin up everyone.

Great commentary, I hadn't seen such a reference to them using nihilism like they do fascism, racism, xenophobia, ad nauseam. Doesn't make any sense at all, as with every other "ism", they are the nihilists. Nice ending about them huddling to be rescued, they truly are a pathetic bunch. Yet they've wrested control. I've never been religious, but what I see is better explained as satanic, or alien shape-shifters than anything more pedestrian. Those on the wrong side of the culture wars are unreachable and insane, yet effective and often successful in society. People like Zuckerberg, Bancel, Bourla, Fauci, Birx, Trudeau, etc. are exactly what you'd observe if someone sold their soul to the devil for earthly rewards. Oh well, as Sir John Glubb noted in "The Fate of Empilres", our decline is just another instance of the recurring pattern we always see throughout human history.

Hey, Fox Narratives is down 1/3 of its viewership. A nice result.

Keep up the good work, Liz!

Green energy policies have added maybe $700 a month to the cost of a one bedroom rental unit. It takes over two years to get approval for a rental building in Victoria. Then, another year after initial approval to final approval. That adds another sum. Maybe $300? So rents in theory could be $1000 a month less. That is $1000 that could go to piano lessons, hockey gear. Private school? And so on. Then Justin let in ONE MILLION people last year into Canada. All unvetted. Canada builds various amounts of housing each year. But 275,000 units is a reasonable average. One million people require 350,000 or so housing units. So we need about 600,000 for this year alone. Do that for three years and we will be nearly a million housing units short. A million! You want to see upward price pressure on rents? You have not seen anything yet.

Every civilization eventually reaches the point where it evolves a 'mandarinate' to regulate the unruly but productive society it sits above in self-appointed splendor. It's seldom successfully removed or replaced without violence. This seems likely the main reason for the West's accelerating decline. Meanwhile the globalist cult is helping it along, giving it a roadmap & timetable of institutional failure. Their prognosis literally seeks the immiseration of what culturally currently exists in the West, so what comes after (if anything) can be 100% left brain centered, designed & implemented by them. Heaven help us.

Tucker correctly judges this push as just plain evil. The proliferating & accelerating resignations is an encouraging sign.

Thank you,again.Anger is palpable. Love anger these days-esp-when directed towards the insane.

Remember when parents told you to "Cut it out!"-and it stung-but you knew you were lazy and or greedy.This is how to approach those still in a stupor about the "current things."

This just came "over the wire":Not sure which is worse bold face Evil or Disney-esque fairy tale-warpedness.

The bureaucratic expert class live in a clueless alternate universe. I spent 40 years as a bldg. maintenance engineer repairing and maintaining the infrastructure of commercial buildings. I can honestly say that most of the paper shuffling experts looked on us as uneducated rubes with a toolbox. They watched us fix everything and treated us like we knew nothing.

Your post covers multiple key/core issues. Including mention of the island economy I recognize as home too. Howdy, neighbor! :)
