Good article, I have witnessed the decay of community here in America. I remember very well growing up in the 80’s and early 90’s the lie we were told of you should go to college , you should move to the big city in search of bigger and better careers. Many of my fellow schoolmates did, scattered across the country leaving families and communities behind for a lie of consumerism and debt. I live where I grew up, I owe no one, I am happy to grow my garden and orchard and I have a fine career that has allowed me to do just fine. The destruction of families and communities is the foundation of Marxist,elite,totalitarian ideology.

Same in Canada where kids were streamed into 'computer programming'. They got out of school in debt, having to go back for another diploma. Now they are told they need a degree in gender ideology, DEI, Critical Race Theory to be successful, yet the only employers of those are the very sociopathic UN/WEF and government.

I know many men (including my 3 brothers) who instead of bothering with computer programming, learned a trade -- most several trades. They earn $90-150 / hour doing plumbing, electrical and other jobs. They are NEVER out of work, never have to put up with perverts. Most still work with family members to build their beautiful homes or run their family farms.

Still, the college types will tell you that they are the superior ones because they are 'educated', when in fact the best educated are those who can actually produce something and not have to steal what others have produced. The best educated are those who can build their own homes, maintain their own properties, grow and preserve their own food supply, and raise their kids to be decent human beings free of all need for perversion, porn, vice ...

100%. We lost our Vocational Schools in our high schools

for a reason, and it wasn’t a freedom-based reason. No robot is going to fix a leak on an intake manifold or re-wire an MAH sensor. No robot will be crawling under a mobile home to fix a leaking pipe or lay retaining wall brick. Teach your boys something their hands will be dirty doing and teach your girls to take care of their family first and we will return to a happy world.

The Vocational Schools are still there, at least in the smaller community High Schools. Not nearly as they were back in the day of some of us elders.!

My son thought it was terrible when I "made" him come & work with us at my different job sites in the Summers, off from school. But, guess what he does now, and he is the one they choose to straighten out problems caused by others, trades, etc.

For the last 40 years, I have advised any youngster that would listen, to get into the trades.

Not glamorous, but you'll never be out of work, & earn a livable wage.

Not to mention you enjoy a far better work/life balance.

I can't remember exactly when it was that I discovered the genius Elizabeth Nickson, but she has been a part of my daily reading routine ever since.

There are a few truly great writers on Substack- those that can make me laugh, cry or feel like my head will explode with rage and Elizabeth is one of the best of the best.

While she speaks truth to power- fearlessly- her essays do something that has been impossible during the horror years of the FJB regime- namely, they give me hope for a better world. A much better world thanks to our magnificent President Trump, the Man on the White Horse who, through the grace of G-d, is sitting in that White House today.

Only someone who was an insider like herself can know exactly where to shoot the arrows for maximum effect. Only someone who has walked the walk and lived amongst the devils and survived intact can teach us how their world works and how to overcome their machinations. This is why our Satanic Overlords fear her and the other great truth tellers who are out there.

Let us rejoice during this Lenten season for we are going to experience a resurrection like no other. If G-d is with us then who can stand against us?

I wish I could be there to hear Elizabeth's speech, no doubt it will be a barn burner. Hope she will share it with us.

Everyone must check out Agent131711 Substack ... he has a totally different style, but his stuff leaves you breathless as most of his exposes are about things that have been hidden since the mid-1800s that continue to this day to kill and maim us.

His honesty and ability to get to the point with evidence you cannot deny will not disappoint.

As I approach decade eight my level of cynicism about who and how the world is run has caught up to yours. I don't say that pejoratively because I also believe that reality has always been a consensus hallucination, meaning that if enough of us believed in some benign alternative we could make it so. We are all held captive by the collective illusions that have been assiduously spoon fed from birth. My model for human behavior has come to be based on the Stockholm Syndrome where we now love our captors. Thank you for helping to make the transition out.

Very thoughtful piece, thanks, feel the same way. To connect the dots: 20 years ago, in private, elite financial advisors were going “chicken little“ hysterical about the coming demands on the pension systems by the baby boomers when they retired. When we started seeing gratuitous deaths of the elderly during Covid, at least one of the motives was quite obvious. I understand that corporate America also cleaned out employee pensions during the 80s and 90s.

In APRIL of 2020, having already spent 3 months diving into the WEF UN and GATES history and motivations I accidentally stumbled upon Catherine Austin Fitts sitting behind a large desk surrounded by paperwork. Across from her was a young man who'd come to interview her. The ONLY part of the interview I remember was her stating that the plandemic was due in part to reduce the number of 'boomers' because the government had been siphoning the USA'S Social Security funds (similar to Canada's Pension Plan) for 'other' use and have nearly bankrupted it. They HAD to come up with something before they were found out. Therefore, Trump's DOGE is PERFECT timing though all those wailing about it appears to be the one's who made THE MOST off the backs of the working class. Yes, cry harder Warren Shummer Sanders etc, you squandered millions. It appears CARNEY'S considering targeting the CPP as well. Canada desperately needs DOGE!

Imagine how badly we have raised our kids when they think they should off us now that we did all the work, made all the saacrifices to save for the future and provided them with living standards previous generations could only dream about.

We seniors are reaping what we sowed. Raising useless, cowardly rent-seeking people does not pay dividends.

Until the death penalty is restored, and until it is enforced for all crimes where people are harmed financially and physically, there is NO reason in the world why any of this will be stopped.

"Absurdistan has spent the last two years trying to identify the source of this oppression. The World Economic Forum for sure - bankers and CEOs are fully extractive at all times - the United Nations, and the Administrative state, all working with the National Security State to effect a web of suppression that covers for said extraction - these are the culprits. They might as well be any oppressive regime over the last three thousand years. Together, they are slave-makers and their plans, if allowed will end in carnage."

The "elite" have shafted us and continue to do so behind their big big homes, their private jets, their latte capucchino swilling meetings. They hide behind their platitudes, their nonsensical statements and fear mongering to keep us as their servants in toto. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFing disgrace Fffffff them... It is time to stand up and say" I am not going to take it anymore."

How did the UN manage to get into every country and take over their institutions and administrations? Everyone knew who ever worked for the UN or its agencies and many NGOs that it was a communist foreign corporation set up by the Rockefellers as an invasionary force. Their articles of incorporation mandates a communist be at the helm!

So why did the so happily go to work for the UN and its many horrific programs (eg. sex for food programs)?

Because they are guaranteed two things (a) no one who follows the UN's orders will ever be prosecuted, even for murder and crimes against humanity, and (b) not a single person who works for the UN and it's affliates ever pay taxes.

It's all there in the legislation imposed on Canadians since 1985.

These foreign invaders could not do what they are doing unless the average person does the grunt work for them. Look around and see how many are working for the UN-controlled municipalities as planners and sunshine-listers to impose UN Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals. THEY are the problem.

Satan took Christ to the top of the mountain, showed him the kingdoms-governments of the world said: "These have been delivered unto me, bow down to me and I will give it to you." This is Satan's world, our battle is against him and his earthly henchmen, the power elites of society.

Therein lies my conundrum. I know if I judge these people (whether man or woman) according to God's judgments like Roman's Chapter 1, then a lot of these people will die in their sins and be subject to a wrath that is far worse than their punishment of our body's in this world. But on the other hand, it is the lack of judgment that has allowed injustice to flourish. When Satan and his children's (John 8:44) works are indistinguishable, and they don't want to be delivered from their demons, what choice is left to a man of God who knows that these deceivers are worthy of death but doesn't want to condemn anybody to the Wrath of God, without exhausting every effort to turn them back to him?

I was born in 1943 during WWII. I lived the first five years of my life on my grandfather’s farm (the Ohio/Michigan border). My father said that in the “old days”, the farming families in the area would get together to pool their incomes to rent one giant combine to harvest their fields; they would all help each harvest their individual fields sharing this one machine. When they had all finished, they held a “post- harvest” party for the entire community. That’s my idea of real community.

@Carol AhHa! I finally found someone of my era who still recalls that age (Great story, nicely delivered) I remember my Grandmother's great sadness when she found it prudent to lock her door in rural Maine, and soon after surrendered her goats and dogs, and moved to Connecticut to live with my family.

She would tell us the life she lived, the life of carefree, secure community bought for her by her ancestors is STILL possible for those willing to pay the price. Arm. Defend that which belongs to you. Preserve it for your progeny. Ask yourself if you want it badly enough to die for it. That has always been the price.

1. On what other planet can any honest enterprise succeed by first deciding how much they want - what services they would like, which products they covet - then taking by force from others as much money as required to get them? Organized crime operates that way; totalitarian regimes operate that way, but no honest free enterprise can exist under such principles. If a crack addict had unfettered access to Warren Buffett’s bank account do you imagine he would have any difficulty finding a way to spend it? If the banker were allowed unlimited personal access to depositors’ money anytime he desired a bigger house or more expensive car, how nice a house would he have? If a child who wanted candy could simply reach across the counter to take as much as he liked whenever he liked, how much candy do you expect he would eat?

Any responsible and successful enterprise or any family budget looks first to the amount of money they have to work with, then spends within that amount to best provide as much of what is desired within the constraints of available resources. If one can simply and freely take from those it controls as much as it wants in order to acquire whatever it likes, there is no limit on how much it will take. Our system of governmental finance has become perverted and backwards. Government decides what it wants and then takes whatever is required to pay for it. The appetite is insatiable. Look at the ever increasing burden of taxes and fees and debt - income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, Medicare taxes, inheritance taxes, public debt, pension obligations - has any of that crushing total financial burden on citizens ever decreased? It has only ever steadily, relentlessly and unsustainably grown. Those who take control of government get to decide what they want for their own benefit, then seize from others whatever is required to provide it. It should be exactly reversed: Government should be granted only the amount of money the people agree to provide, then government provides as much of the services requested as possible within the constraints of the money provided. When government can simply take as much money as it desires, we no longer have a free society but an authoritarian one. The people are viewed as mere commodities, serfs useful only in the service of the needs and desires of those in charge; animals to be harvested in the service of their masters - fish to be farmed, chickens to be raised, cattle to be tended; allowed to roam freely only within a certain proscribed range; their existence managed only in order to provide sustenance and entertainment for their overlords. They are herded in the desired directions to provide money and food and entertainment; they are experimented upon, managed, manipulated and culled all for the benefit of those who have seized control who do not see them as anything like the free human beings of dignity and worth entitled to live their lives as they see fit with a government serving them while being paid a fair price for providing common services.

Having seized control of an enterprise composed of such prized creatures who by their enterprise, grit, hard work; inspired by a belief in God and a natural law which dictates common morality, ethics and virtue, all within an environment that once offered the freedom to succeed produced such greatness; it has been transformed into a prison to harvest the animals for their own benefit. All dignity and freedom, morals and ethics, belief in the virtue of service according to any higher moral spiritual authority, has been systematically removed. Without concern or even realization, those who have taken control of the system which produced such greatness are destroying it, like parasites feasting on and ultimately killing their host. Such a transformation feeds on itself, attracting ever more parasites until the host is completely destroyed. Those now attracted to government are those seeking to benefit from control of such a vast, powerful and successful enterprise, rather than to serve, preserve and protect the system which created such prosperity. The leaders we have now look nothing like the leaders who fought for and established our great nation; those who defined the principles under which we live and hope to continue to prosper. Our government is now dominated by parasites feasting off the host and controlling it to serve their own interests rather than the interests of the people. They have no understanding of, much less belief in, the founding principles of our country which led to our prosperity. They must be made to leave. One of the surest ways to achieve their exit is remove their control of our money. Without money they will leave, like the British left India - they will simply walk out. Our system of government finance must be transformed.

In Canada we suffer under approx 1 million regulations and requirements. Every bureaucrat destroys 158 jobs. We pay the highest income taxes in the world, even though taxation of men and women is slavery (taxation of corporations is reasonable). Canadian municipalities and especially in Ontario, are controlled by the UN that has used its Planner armies to outright steal private home and lands as part of the Sustainable Development, 15-minute city and Agenda 2030 end to private property ownership scheme.

And worst of all, we don't have to live like this .. every province has been a sovereign state since 1931. This has been hidden, even though it is recorded in Parliament (1945 by MP Kuhl who uncovered this scam).

Most of us literally freeze in the winter time because corporations steal our resources to create electricity, then give it away to the US while swindling Canadians for 10 x what it is worth.

NO COUNTRY NEEDS POLITICIANS. Politicians are professionals who work for themselves under the pretext of providing service to the people.

EVERY COUNTRY that allows gang (party) formations is in a constant state of near war. You can't get anything done because you have to battle party leaders and insiders. ALL STATESMEN must sit as independents and be directly accessible and accountable to their electorate before anything can change.

COUNTRIES NEED Statesmen, who have a tightly enforced term limit. No country needs a elected official that is there to advance their own personal businsses.

I want to agree with you on the income tax piece, but knowing how much capital the govt steals from my business robbing me of any ability to grow it makes me pause at the 150k number. It needs to be much higher. Small businesses are the key to a much better tomorrow, and they are exactly the ones robbed in the 150-500 k range of annual profit; which is about where most of them are. The govt will extract 55% of that profit as it takes for the social security pyramid scheme, the Medicare destroying our health disaster, and then backs up the truck to the original profit number before taking those two and calculates a 30 something fed tax rate and hands it over to the state that doesn’t even give a reach around as it robs us of our income virginity from the backside. 55% is a good number. Toss in an extractive city govt and it is worse. So the very people who are entrepreneurial and want to grow and employ more local people can’t do it, while the corporations just push all their proceeds to fat and lazy C suiters with oversized belts to hold it all in. I have been to Marco Island and Naples; I know the people stealing from us from personal experience. The number must be higher to include 90% of small businesses, and THAT will change the game. Just doing it for the employed class will help them immeasurably, but it will also help the large businesses a lot more than the smalls because of the Entrepreneur Taxes.

I have just paid the absurdly underpriced annual subscription for this stellar journalism. I have been following Elizabeth for a while and just love her style, content and approach.

I live on a rural property in a small community in the deep south of Western Australia.

I read 1984 when I was 15 after sacking my expensive freemason private boys school and going to a mainstream high school. I shunned University as a thought controlling idealogical madhouse and got to work in the real world in commerce. Hand built the family home. My mission in life is to be no ones burden to carry until I die.It us working out just fine.

I am finding myself subtly channelling a Trump type of energy. A free, creative, visionary, responsive, business oriented energy with a penchant for surrounding myself with really good people.

And that starts with my wife who I found in 2022 and married last year.

Western Australia is gripped by the Stockholm syndrome. The beasts who run the show just got re-elected. The pigs threatened to fine me $150,000 if I employed an unvaccinated person. I will never forgive or forget that.

So I look to the USA and spend a lot of time enjoying the renaissance there knowing one day it will arrive here.

Trump is a miracle and his team are incredible. I just wonder about his huge blind spot on Israel. I try to overlook that and see how he is creating a mass reality by stating what that reality will be. A golden era for USA. And the world will catch on.

Blessings to all you lovely really awake people.

Counting on your Lady Luck 🍀 influence to speak out on geoengineering since this is the most insidious evil blocking our Sun, destroying our blue skies, while poisoning everyone and living thing on earth. Since your making headway on the taxes, the grips of the global elite

Psychopath’s who still consider us lab rats in their cruel experiments.

We ALL could be much wealthier there is so much wealth that could be spread out amongst the citizens. We all ought to have a financial vested interest in our own countries prosperity. How does a woman of 67 years old live on $675 social security a month? These people are crushed by finances, demoralized by their health and a system that is just not functioning on a healthy financial model.

God Bless Trump and Team!!! Lots to be improved for the better of everyone of US!
