Great piece of personalization with the perspective. The best writers let readers see who they are as people which gives substance to the perspective.
The one positive I see in this whole mess of attempting to establish and still continuing to establish top-down control by the elite is that it has ignited for many our own critical thinking skills. It has taken a while because in decades past it was a slow creep of control much like bringing water slowly to a boil to cook a frog. Trump's threat to this forced them to ramp the effort manifold and the nonsense stimulated critical thinking in many in which it had lain dormant.
Society is now permanently split into critical thinkers vs emotional thinkers. It is the 'long-COVID' no one anticipated. This is positive.
Writers like yourself are a catalyst to the emergence of this aspect of society that only severe trauma inflicted by the elites causes to rise to prominence.
Excellent summary of the planned perpetration, malevolence, chaos and suffering that we are now witnessing. "Critical thinkers vs. emotional 'thinkers' "....indeed, readily apparent.
I supported him with a couple of donations when he first ran and even bought a coffee cup with with his face on it but have since mailed it back to him. I live in Virginia and thought he was a good guy who should be in Congress but not now. Quite a disappointment.
I hate being a pessimist but if you think things are on the way to ruin....it is already too late. The dismantling of our way of life has been going on since the 1960s. Unfortunately, folks since this time have actively participated in the bamboozle. Personally, I believe that it literally started when God was kicked out of the classroom/public square. Without God anything is possible...there are no objective standards. Continuing, evil is patient - thus 60+ years to get where we are today is no big deal. You know that there is no way of avoiding what is to come by the way society reacted to Covid. We had the information of this strain of SARS (natural or manufactured didn't matter); we had the information of how deadly the Jab could be (mRNA has never worked); we knew that ALL pandemics eventually "burn out"; we knew that the key to better outcomes was via natural means and better habits; the list goes on an on. AND YET, we totally wimped out...we embraced the fear and were cowed into ruin. Even knowing that we were played and what can be done in the future to help ourselves - I still see IDIOTS driving in cars alone with masks on....heck when I go the doctors office is see the staff with masks. Are you kidding me??? Regardless, we name the names of the criminals and they still walk around free continuing their criminal enterprise. So excuse me if I think things are pretty bad. (BTW I haven't even addressed the financial evil that is robbing us). We are living the saying "hard times make hard men; hard men make good times; good times makes weak men; weak men create hard times". Guess where we are. All I can suggest is 1. Get right with God 2. Get Healthy 3. Get your house in order 4. Try to help your family as best you can. 5 And, find like-minded people who you can help you resist the the coming evil. Pax
The sheer volume of blatant lies, murders, misrepresentations, tearing-down of our society, all the evil living right next door to us, commies and "commie lite" continually force-fed to "Muricans does one thing very effectively.
It cements in my mind what my next duty is. My perpetual duty is to protect and assist my friends and family, my recently acquired duty is to do anything and everything to blow this shit storm back in the faces of the humanoid scum that perpetuates it. By any means possible, verbally, physically, whatever it takes to reverse the commie fast-track we're on.
It's not violence, it's self defense in the most absolute form. We are, and clearly have been, under siege for decades and we better assume a siege mentality to deal with it.
Crenshaw's an interesting one. He came saying the right thing, and all of the sudden turned into the most vile Rino possible. It could only be one or more of several things.
He was an infiltrator.
He ran into a lobbyist that had enough $$ to convert him to their religion of lies.
He got to drinking or drugging too much and ended up in an Epstein style blackmail situation.
I think Crenshaw is an infiltrator. They lured him in. He was perfect. He has military credentials (if you ignore his traitorous behavior to a fellow soldier) He’s full of hubris & swagger. The eye patch is a nice touch.
Has anyone investigated Crenshaw’s donors? We know he’s aligned with the WEF. He once again won his primary for 2024. It’s better that he’s defeated by a democrat. Can’t we kill this hen house fox before he becomes the next Mike (toupe’) Rogers, or the next deep-state congressman from Ohio, Mike Turner. Why is Turner still on the house Intelligence committee? Why did all of the RINOS vote for Mike Johnson?
Can’t the citizen journalists in Texas inspire its 2nd district citizens to oust Crenshaw? I’d rather have a democrat for 2 years than a slimy republican that uninformed “conservatives” blindly support.
Yep. I live in MN where we walk in to vote and show our ID's which are not allowed, sign a little yellow slip to get a ballot, fill out the ballot, and run it through a machine. They didn't verify my identity and I didn't sign the ballot: what is the purpose? I know, I know....
Out in my precinct of 5K people our vote really doesn't matter, but in our Twin Cities; like all of our large metro areas? I have no trust.
As long as democrats know where those that are willing to cheat for a few bucks congregate, like inner cities full of the proper hue, we will never again see a proper election. Prove me wrong. Call me a racist. Did you watch 2000 mules? Until you do, don’t criticize.
I saw this coming a very long time ago and the frustration with my fellow man is maddening. The haughtiness my Canadian relatives displayed when Trump was running told me all I needed to know about how ignorant they were about the world and about politics, etc. They held themselves above Americans in some weird way (I’m now American) as well. I wondered if it was jealousy but now realize they are extremely naive! All I can say now is people get what they deserve and Stupid is as stupid does.
In 2019, I was sitting in the tiny airport in Churchill, Manitoba, waiting for a flight. Behind me sat a native woman and a white man, discussing Donald Trump. The woman exclaimed that she couldn't understand why the Secret Service men guarding Trump hadn't assassinated him, and she was sorely disappointed. The man agreed. I, an American, was appalled, but being seriously outnumbered, kept my mouth shut. I wonder how they would have felt if I'd said the same about Trudeau? I don't care how you feel about a leader, calling for an assassination is very, very wrong.
Canadian here. I, too, have friends/family who display logic in many things, but are filled with venomous hatred for DJT. The realio trulio depth of loathing stuns me. Even though they are not normally rude, they will repeatedly insert their visceral hatred into conversations with me (knowing my stance). I attempt to refute with facts, but realize there truly is no dealing with folks who have long been plugged into CBC, CNN and late night talk show hosts.
The evil rot is so deeply tangled and embedded it seems the only viable, peaceful solution is partition. State by state. Area by area. Red and Blue: RUSA / BUSA. A clean, defined break. RUSA will appropriate the Constitution in its pure state. BUSA can have all the voting machines and corrupt judges. Then let the BUSA fools feed on their greed and wickedness - and implode.
The same applies to Canada? Alberta and Saskatchewan are making increasing rumbling noises. And Quebec, which regards itself as a natural separate nation, has been wagging the national dog for 70 years now. We appease them with hefty transfer payments and look away, hoping if we are nice, there won’t be a nasty breakup. The next election will reveal all. If Justin wins yet again, the proof of election rot is beyond evident, and it’s time to partition. Let Quebec make it on its own. Let Alberta (and Sask) fly free. Messy? Likely. But Canadians will have defined places to settle where their socio-political hearts are more at peace.
BTW, FWIW, my tentative, dismal Canuck prediction for the US is that they’ll drag JB and KH to the finish line, the machines (and false flags) will declare them victors, and weeks/months after January swearing in JB will become ill or die and fresh puppetess will take over. And the beat goes on.
Ah, but the real solution is found in Daniel, chapter 3, the Prayer of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego as they are in the fiery furnace during the Babylonian Captivity:
“For we have sinfully and lawlessly departed from you, and have sinned in all things and have not obeyed your commandments … so all you have brought upon us - you have done in true judgment.”
It’s not too late to fall to our knees, confess our sins, and beg for mercy.
The USA is loaded with fighting age terrorists that came in illegally. I believe they are waiting for the signal sitting and armed by all the guns and ammo hoarded by Obama during his illegal by not being born here installation.
This will likely result in Martial Law, hence no Election.
Time will tell but this will result in Civil War in this new third world country
The objective of such all-pervasive corruption? It allows the elite to conduct a coup d'etat, installing a preferred 'leader'.
Solutions? The only format that could prevent the further metastasizing of this election cancer is: allowing only voting in person; on paper ballots; during a single 12-hour period; only after 2 pieces of approved ID & fingerprint record are presented. Plus there must be a quorum of citizens present observing, & a police presence. Plus there needs to be video coverage of every voting center for the 12 hours of voting. Last, Infractions by corrupt election bureaucrats need to be addressed, wrongdoers punished with a minimum 20-year sentence.
This would only work if the money machine in corrupt legislatures (routine bribes, kickbacks, blackmail, vote-buying, etc) is purged. That would take a Cromwell-like figure, with the arrest & trying of thousands of corrupt bureaucrats. Perhaps the death penalty is needed, swiftly applied. But the institutions are all compromised, corrupted, so it may not be possible without a revolution.
Corruption thrives in the context of centralization. So maybe one prerequisite is having smaller nations, ie. partition the federal nation into multiple smaller nations; some will clean up their institutions & have clean elections, most likely won't initially.
I’m pretty sure cities are loci of evil and destruction. The population density rewires our normal sociality and it transforms other humans from potential friends and collaborators into worthless mouths to feed and occupiers of subway space. We cannot hope to get anything truly good or beautiful from cities. Regeneration comes from God, it comes from the decomposition of waste when mixed appropriately with water, oxygen and Carboniferous material. Cities reduce the number of children being born (cities are no places for children), and must parasitize the countryside in order to grow its population. Vitality, nutrition, fertility, health and life are imported from the countryside into a city and then the city with its concrete and metal mandibles homogenizes everything into a toxic slurry which seeks to serve the corporate masters at every turn. Cities breed crime, rape, greed, insecurity and bad health. The more we are outside, in the sun, away from concrete and regulations, the more human we are. Run run run as fast as you can away from the mandibles of death. It will ruin you and your progeny if you don’t.
State of mind is everything no matter where you are. Not everyone can live in the country. Running away does not solve the problems of life. Read Nelson Mandela or anything by Gandhi for inspiration and explanation.
I’m afraid you’re right Elizabeth unfortunately that’s exactly where we are at this moment in time. The elites have exposed themselves and they’re not ashamed of it.
To them we Are the unwashed masses and their minions are right there with us. Like Ketanji Brown in the Supreme Court First Amendment case.
She’s asking Can you help me because (if we uphold the 1st amendment) then government will have no way to control the people.
Paraphrasing but in essence that exactly what she just said. Now I already knew that she couldn’t define a woman but I clearly thought, being a judge, that she could read.
And since she had to take the oath of office i imagined she had at least perused the Constitution. But now I have my doubts after that performance.
She has no idea that she, like us, is just another one of the unwashed masses.
UNIONIZED bureaucracy is what empowers crooked lawyers. There are now millions of anonymous bureaucrats: teachers, cops, firemen, dogcatchers, clerks, bailiffs, sheriffs, judges, etc, etc.
City, county, state & federal bureaucracy in the USA is a gigantic communist union. Lawyers and bureaucrats scratch each others' backs.
JFK's EO#10988 (1962) and LBJ's Great Society (1964) are the two Big Moves that communist lawfare lawyers have used to kill liberty, peace & prosperity.
Now they're doing mop-up: 1. the dot-com bubble. -- 2. 9-11. -- 3. 2008 housing bubble.
Next stop: CBDC. The 'elites' are crooked & incompetent. Their army is millions of bureaucrats.
In the State of California, a group of citizens are fighting back against the theft of their birthright of freedom and prosperity by way of the New California project, under which we are emulating the State of West Virginia during the U.S. Civil war by ipetitioning the U.S. Congress to allow us to form the State of New California. A majority vote by the Congress is required for this to heppen.
Terry O: Create your new state and see what happens. Or better yet, just say "No" to the state. You could quit paying taxes to the Feds. Of course, you would have to have private banks off of the grid. You'd have to go back to analog and trust. Which is going to happen anyway.
Asking permission from a thug is never a good idea.

I must admit I helped "Ol' Aargh" in his initial election any way possible, donations, yard signs, stickers, etc.
All I can say is that I feel tremendously butt-hurt.
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Professional insider trader who sometimes pretends to be a congressman.
I supported him with a couple of donations when he first ran and even bought a coffee cup with with his face on it but have since mailed it back to him. I live in Virginia and thought he was a good guy who should be in Congress but not now. Quite a disappointment.
Yep... The perfect replacement!

Thanks for that Dan I’ve been trying to find that article by Mollie Ball for a while now.
You're welcome, fine lady.
Can’t wait to hear the democrats explain as we tear apart their lies
They just keep lying and projecting their devastation on the rest of us.
They will squeal like stuck pigs. RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

judge they are destroying evidence
don't believe what you claim
.
judge your inaction does not make sense
obey me just the same
.
judge they have committed grave offense
charges are very tame
.
judge their lawbreaking never relents
i do not see their blame
.
judge our case you won't let us present
these arguments are lame
.
judge this is corrupt jurisprudence
contempt would be a shame
.
judge your prejudice has no defense
yet look what i became
.
judge there's no justice in your presence
justice is in my name
.
judge they destroyed all the evidence
looks like we won this game
