A call for unity and grace from the mountains high, to the wave crashed coasts:
"The person down the street who votes differently than you is not your enemy. They are your neighbor. They worry about the same things you worry about. They want their kids to be safe and their bills to be paid and their country to be a place worth living in. They have been manipulated just like you have been manipulated, fed a different flavor of the same poison, sorted into a different tribe by the same algorithm, pointed at you as the enemy by the same people who point you at them.
The working class Republican and the working class Democrat have more in common with each other than either of them has with the billionaire class that funds both parties.
You share the same struggles. You face the same rigged systems. You are being crushed by the same economic forces that have transferred more wealth upward in the last fifty years than at any point in human history. And instead of uniting against the people doing this to you, you are screaming at each other on the internet about pronouns and flags and whatever fresh outrage the algorithm served up this morning.
This is exactly what they want. A nation at war with itself cannot resist a takeover. A people consumed by mutual hatred will accept any authority that promises to protect them from the manufactured enemy. Every empire that fell was divided before it was conquered. Every free people who lost their freedom were set against each other first.
The red versus blue war is not real. It is a show put on by people who own both teams. It is professional wrestling and you think it is a real fight. The wrestlers go backstage after the match and laugh together while you are still screaming at the guy in the other section who was rooting for the wrong character.
This Is Our Country Not Theirs
This nation belongs to the people who live here and work here and raise families here and will be buried here. It does not belong to billionaires who hold citizenship in three countries and will flee to their bunkers the moment things get bad. It does not belong to tech oligarchs who view democracy as an obstacle to efficiency. It does not belong to foreign interests who have purchased so much influence that they might as well be writing our laws themselves.
We have to stop letting them divide us. We have to start seeing each other as fellow Americans again instead of enemy combatants in a culture war that was manufactured to keep us weak. We have to remember that the person screaming at us online is also a victim of the same manipulation, and maybe if we stopped screaming back and started talking, we might realize we have been fighting the wrong enemy this entire time.
Turn off the television. It is not informing you. It is programming you. Question everything, including the sources you trust, especially the sources you trust. Talk to people who disagree with you and do it without trying to win. Listen to why they believe what they believe. You might discover that the monster you have been told to hate is actually just another person trying to make sense of a confusing world with imperfect information, exactly like you.
Remember who you are.
You are an American. Your ancestors came to this land or were brought to this land or were already on this land, and regardless of how they got here, they built something together that was supposed to be different from the old world’s tyrannies and aristocracies. That project is not finished. Every generation has to fight to keep it alive against the forces that want to drag us back to a world where a handful of rulers own everything and everyone else serves at their pleasure.
Stop letting them divide you. Your enemies are not your neighbors. Your enemies are the people who profit from your division and are building machines to replace you the moment you are no longer useful.
Start acting like it before it is too late". —The Wise Wolf
"We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools."
Mr, Kunstler, apologies if it comes off that way, bu no one paid me, I am trying to get both sides to unite because we've been torn asunder by:
The Binary Thought Control Matrix
The media - both news and entertainment - have now politicized nearly everything in our society as an extremely powerful mechanism of control.
Politicization is so effective at manipulating the populace because most people emotionally connect their personal belief system to the belief system of their political party, and so then any attack on their party - legitimate or otherwise - is interpreted by their brain as an attack on themselves. Reason and logic then jump out the nearest window as raw emotion takes the helm, thus making them even more susceptible to the predatory controlling influences.
Most people will not act to secure their future, so long as they feel they have an advocate fighting for them in the public or political arenas. This is why Republican vs Democrat equals divide and conquer (we fight amongst ourselves while they decimate our support systems and establish totalitarian control). The human mind is binary. Our thought process can often be boiled down into terms (often ultimatums) of – this or that – and our adversaries understand - very well - the art of this war.
"A mental conflict occurs when beliefs are contradicted by new information. This conflict activates areas of the brain involved in personal identity and emotional response to threats. The brain's alarms go off when a person feels threatened on a deeply personal and emotional level, causing them to shut down and disregard any rational evidence that contradicts what they previously regarded as "truth".
It's often far easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." —Unknown
To reiterate: "We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools." —MKL Jr.
Bollocks. There will be no reasoning together with the Left. They are having too much fun going ape-shit. They will not moderate their behavior until their actions meet superior force, up close and personally.
To the extent that is true (I am not so sure as of yet) here is why:
Ten Ways the 1% are Manipulating Us Right Now
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable.
All made possible by the group psychosis of the left.
Look, I am no Charlie Kirk, but I am a retired clinical psychologist and I have found no way, NO WAY, to get through their always-present shield of self-aggrandizement and their denigration of us gun toting Bible clingers.
Sorry, but this really is a class thing, and these nut jobs would need to deign to come down from their lofty perches and mingle with the untouchables for dialogue and learning to occur.
No, we’re not divided by puppet masters. We’re divided by right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, which is from whence you spew your endless garbage.
The Father of Propaganda (Related to Freud and the great uncle of the founder of Netflix), The Tavistock Institute, & JP Morgan disagree:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... In almost every act of our daily lives ... we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons ... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” —Edward Bernays, Father of Propaganda
“From the Congressional Record January 27, 1917: JP Morgan, Steel, Shipbuilding, and “powder” interests hired 12 high-ranking newspaper execs to determine how to “control generally the policy of the daily press” throughout the entire country.
Answer: They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. …the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly SUPERVISE AND EDIT INFORMATION…. This policy also included the suppression of everything in opposition to the WISHES of the interests served.”
From that you can draw a straight line to this:
“Comcast owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Universal Pictures, and dozens of cable channels. Disney owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and just absorbed most of 21st Century Fox. Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, HBO, the DC universe, and a sprawling empire of cable networks. Paramount Global owns CBS, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. Sony controls a massive chunk of the music and film industry. And News Corp, the Murdoch empire, owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and newspapers across three continents.
Your local news station that you think is independent? Probably owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which controls nearly two hundred television stations across America and forces them all to read the same scripted editorials. Your favorite newspaper? Bought up by a hedge fund or a billionaire who wanted a mouthpiece. Your streaming service? Owned by one of the six. Your social media feed? Curated by algorithms designed by Silicon Valley billionaires to keep you angry and engaged and clicking.”
Only one side encouraged their base to cut off all contact with their relatives who didn't bob their heads to their agenda. I have found that also true among some old friendships.
Blue vs. Red is very active and insidious. The change in America is that the Blue side has become UN-American, instead lining up with the global socialists that want control of the world. One half, almost of this country’s population has become gimme oriented, looking for a government which will give them cradle to grave care. You see them on the blog, constantly. They are Blue. The ambitious “Rich class” is a target for these folks, who are ready to use very governmental means to steal from them.
Reds want things the way they were before the Biden inspired invasion. That is the heart of MAGA. Reds want no part of NYC, where a Muslim despot wants to destroy any form of individual freedom and responsibility. How? Print money and hand it out. Absolutely nothing about teaching the people how to fish.
Just look at education as an example. Blues want socialized education, run from DC, controlled by a Karen union zealot. They want education to be indoctrination of sexual deviance, indoctrination of hatred of White people and dependence on a government. In the cities, they are an indoctrination into the crime gang social order, forming, with rapid transit, a perfect system to distribute drugs. Reds want education to be the parent’s choice, “Choice”. They want parents, not government, to decide how education is done. They want American history and civics to be taught, to show with examples how much better America is than anywhere else, as it is.
Red vs. Blue? Humongous difference and which wins this millennium will determine what the USA will be, America or Amerika.
Personally, the liberals I know do not want the same things I want. They no longer live down the street. They organized paid protests, abandon their children and celebrate when good men die.
The criminals are the ones who bankrolled this—our own government to NGOs like the 'Project Syndicate' using our tax dollars to destroy us via the Cloward-Piven swamping and draining of our social safety nets:
“Those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws" —President Obama

Because both sides are in on it... Trump may be the wildcard, I hope he is, but as for the rest:
At the close of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, “What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin?” He replied: "A republic, if you can keep it."
It is, was, and will always be our job to keep the government in check. If we do not, then we will end up back at square one and become slaves once again. No one is going to come to our rescue... except ourselves.
So with that in mind, if in coming here you've never heard of the following:
Or worse, you've heard of them but can't be bothered to care, then like it or not, you are one reason among many that we are on a one-way flight straight to Hell. To the corporations and their puppet politicians, your ignorance and apathy are worth more than all the slaves in China. Because it is your indifference that enables these bottom feeding cockroaches to thrive in the dark and rob you of your wealth and liberty.
This is not political, it's universal. Both of the puppet parties you think you get to choose from every two years are completely infected by blanket webs of corruption and have long ago mortgaged their allegiance to their corporate masters. And what these leeches need more than anything to survive and thrive is a stupid, apathetic populace with red tags on their ears who will lap at their feet and believe every lie they feed them, or worse, are too busy staring at their smart phones to even care that they're being lied to.
The natural state of humanity is to slide into slavery and conflict. Our American bulwark against that decay was built by the blood, sweat, tears, hard work, and personal sacrifice of countless millions. These people gave everything to build the pillars of justice that protect and sustain you, and it is your responsibility to give something back and sacrifice a little in order to maintain those pillars and pass them on to the next generation. Anything less is a betrayal to those who broke their back to build the structure you are now standing on. So put down your Facebook and start paying attention to the things going on around you before that structure crumbles to nothing beneath your feet and you become a slave once again.
Remember, a nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves and you get more of what you tolerate. So turn off your Goddamn TV, turn on your mind, and get out there and stop tolerating it before you wake up one morning robbed of your remaining liberty and you no longer have a choice.
Someone far wiser than I once pointed out that: 'Power without oversight is the fastest route out of a democracy'. Your responsibility then, is to render that oversight.
Joseph de Maistre said: 'Every citizenry has the government they deserve...'
No, we’re not divided by puppet masters. We’re divided by right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, which is from whence you spew your endless garbage.

To now:

It definitely belongs to anyone who is a citizen, rich, poor, White, Black, Purple, anyone who has assimilated into America and love what it stands for.
That about eliminates the Blues, who hate this country.
I get sick of the billionaire haters who just do not seem to understand that the rest of us get our ability to exist and progress due to the entrepeneuerial spirit of the billionaire class. That does NOT include the political parasites, mostly Blue socialists, that steal from the middle and upper classes using the government.
I lived in Newport RI for four years. Belleview Ave. is where all the hated rich folks lived in their mansions. But lost in all the hatred is the fact that most of the town lived between the mansions and the wharf, gaining subsistence from working in the mansions.
“We must learn to live together as brothers”. Humanity has been around for a million years, and very little progress has been made in this direction.
The USA is the latest attempt at trying something better, taking the control from an autocratic group and giving it to the people. People are not brothers, they are close when they have commonality, striving for the same goals. That is the weakness of socialism and autocracy, no self determination, people get what they are allotted by powers that are stupid and out of their control. Feudalism created the Middle Ages, the Dark centuries.
The Renaissance was a creation of the Middle Class. As the middle class is destroyed by socialism, back we go.
It might have once been as you describe, but that ended with the Obama presidency if not before. It is no longer a matter of political or minor ideological differences, the democrat party has been taken over by vey evil people intent on destroying the USA constitutional republic and installing central planning communist control. The only power they have has been gained by massive money laundering corruption and voter fraud, which they are desperately trying to maintain through violent means. Anyone actually legitimately voting for these people is complicit in their criminality.
Absolutely agree with you that the enemy is utilizing the Divide and Conquer technique to destroy American ideals. Invasion and education are the main culprits.
But, why can’t someone shut down the Blue finance network coming in from the Davos, Rothschilds groups? Is the Deep State so ensconced that counter activity to Soros et al is not possible?
Trump and his MAGA group is the only thing standing in the way of the DAVOS set, but only if the Blues are beat down, especially the judiciary. I wonder if the Justices realize they hold the future of this country in their hands.
IMO, learn to hate the people undermining our country, the folks at Davos, and the parasites in the USA, the Blues, who desire their cradle to grave bullshit to be instituted here. America dies due to these folks activities, humanity dies. Might as well have AI in charge of everything, as the power numbskulls trying to convince us that they are all powerful.
"The lawless are going to be rounded up, from Raffensperger in Georgia, to Katie Hobbs in Arizona, to Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, to Jena Griswold in Colorado, to dozens of other officials who were in on the big vote switcheroo of Nov. 3, 2020."
.
2016: "I'm going to drain the swamp and lock her up. You have my word on that!!!"
2017: "Okay, here we go ... drain the swamp ... lock her up!!!"
2018: "Err, here we go ............"
2019: "Okay, this year it's for real!"
2020: "Uhmm, I meant to do it this year, but I'm too busy preparing for the elections, locking up the country, and helping the Globalist agenda to advance."
2021: "I was going to do it this year, but we "lost" and so I must leave - sorry! Besides, I needed more than the1,461 days as POTUS."
2022: "I can't do a thing since I'm not POTUS anymore. Now let me get back to my golf game."
2023: "Vote for me next year and watch as **this time for sure** I take out the lawless Globalist Cabal!"
2024: "Here we goooooo!!! Hey, I "won" again! Now watch as I REALLY nail the bad guys!!"
2025: "Wait, give me some time, I'm very busy renaming bodies water, an arts center, a mountain, a Federal department, bombing countries as "Peace President", signing multi-billion-dollar deals with the creators of mRNA jabs, ... on and on - you know, *important* stuff! I'll get to the criminals later.
2026: "After 364 days as POTUS-2, I'm so very busy. Check with me later - I'll get to rounding up the lawless at a future date. I promise, there will be perp walks - trust me on that!!
You are not wrong, but what was the alternative offered up in 2016, 2020, 2024? Each election is a binary choice - unfortunately it has been a choice between the "lesser of two evils" for longer than anyone realized. A return to free and fair elections must be the priority: voter ID, paper ballots, no mail-in ballots. I’ll vote for the side that ensures The Peoples' votes by a system as incorruptible as possible.
It will never end. If we get this election "integrity " done, as needed, WHO IS COUNTING? Who is watching? And do the watchers get thrown out by "security" because of a "flood"? That is my fear.
More like a broken toilet after a 650-pound Democrat "election watcher" destroys the seat, the wax seal, and the porcelain bowl when she sits down. And here you thought "The Plumbers" were strictly a Nixonian organization!
That about sums up "Lucy with the Football" Trump and the Americans playing Charlie Brown.
Trump shut down the WEF? Only if directed by the bosses of the WEF (and Trump).
As Trump 2.0 comes up on a year running things, his real accomplishments are trending the same way - keep Americans polarized, keep Americans distracted with nonsensical actions, keep building the digital prisons of CBDCs and IDs, and keep rolling out new tariffs to help Americans pay more into the corrupted system and keep things afloat until The Great Reset.
It's gonna make Krakens look like your pet goldfish won at the County Fair.
The people who complain because Trump is hamstrung by the Deep State would be the first to complain of fascism if he actually took the steps that are needed to right the ship. He is trying to get this country to realize how effed up the direction is we are going. Even Jesus “lost” to the PTB of His day, trying to convince them their direction was wrong. It took eleven men and a few thousand of their followers, after inspired by a miracle, to get the word out and convince people of Jesus’ message.
Does Trump have to become a martyr to convince folks?
Democrats did their best to explode his cranium via hystrostatic shock caused by a 5.56 NATO round fired by a would-be savior. The execution was going to be on CNN. Instead, a miracle happened, the would-be assassin died, and the investigation into who else was involved never really got started.
Dripping with cynicism doesn’t begin to describe this response! And I’m right there with you. The only change I would suggest is: POTUS-2: Electric Boogaloo.
You’re quite wrong. Trump knows his legacy, his freedom, and maybe his life depend on winning this battle. A year ago he started with DOGE and USAID, which showed he was thinking long-term. He knows he needs to win the midterms. His repeated statements about the 2020 steal, about Omar and Minnesota corruption are not bluff or bluster. He and Bondi are preparing major cases that will start this year, before the midterms. You’re about to see a reality show about Democratic Party corruption.
Absolutely. Timing. 10-15 sleeper cells already here and ready to launch complex organized terrorist attacks on a dozen tier 2 US cities will bring institutional paralysis, prolonged lawlessness and chaos that always precedes regime change. That’s what being without power and water does to Americans who will hit the streets after missing 9 meals. Arm up. Your neighbors will want your food.
I, and my family, are armed and trained and ready for what the Demoncraps have been planning with their importation of millions of military-aged men, primarily, and their storm trooper imitators, antifa and blm. The large blue cities will be he worst to reside in as the limited rule of law now existing in them will likely disappear. The exact reason they are so fanatical about removing our rights under the 2nd and even 1st Amendments. Remember your friends and keep them close and watch carefully those who are opposed to what this nation stands for.
Unfortunately, President Trump's bizzaro Ukraine peace negotiations, pirates of the Caribbean LARPing, and Netanyahu's and Adelson's Hanukkah gifts in Gaza and Iran took precedence over properly handling the flaming bowl of shite here at home. Tweets instead of competent prosecutions of the traitorous, criminal people and organizations his administration uncovers and inexplicably recovers. No Epstein files (because his donors are clients), no MAHA (kill shots still on the books, with more coming), and a 50-year mortgage scheme to turn home ownership into modern-day serfdom that only benefits a bankster monarchy. Also, sending in masked storm troopers to round up illegals a dozen at a time is not the most effective way to capture and eject the 25 million miscreants that slithered in during "President Biden's Reign of Error." He should be going after the state and local officials cloaking their identities and encouraging the misappropriation of benefits intended for legitimate American citizens. There's still time to correct course before we hit the rocky shores of mid-term elections, but I've got my lifeboat ready.
I see from your bio that you're a former reporter. I can believe it after that moronic rant showing no understanding of geopolitics, and of course with the usual anti-Semitic tidbit thrown in.
"The lawless are going to be rounded up, from Raffensperger in Georgia, to Katie Hobbs in Arizona, to Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, to Jena Griswold in Colorado, to dozens of other officials who were in on the big vote switcheroo of Nov. 3, 2020." From your keyboard to God's monitor...
Nice essay and Thomas Sowell quote, but with the November elections looming and the results not looking good for Republicans or Trump, I'd say haste becomes critical. Time it for after the elections, when Trump will be faced with renewed congressional investigations and impeachments, and substantial change as envisioned by JHK will disappear like morning fog in the rising sun.
If it comes to that, it will demonstrate that the people prefer to have a federal government that operates like Minnesota's and the four years of auto-pen, where crime and unfettered immigration are standard operating procedure. With all due respect, I hope you are wrong.
And that is entirely possible. Ben Franklin’s statement was wise, “if you can keep it”.
Two things are required, education, especially of the evil of the opposition, and commonality of purpose, especially control of the elite in the Deep State.
Hmmm, he was caste very negative the last time he was invited.
The European socialists hate Trump and Vice versus. NATO is a joke without the USA, Trump does not trust the alliance at all. The EU is the same as the ethnocentric differences in Europe still exist.
Trump will be tolerates and besieged for his stand on Greenland.
By the way, if you really understand what is going on above the Arctic Circle, you would realize how right he is. The world is divvying up and Trump is trying to get the Western Hemisphere part.
He skewers the WEF, WHO, UN every time he’s invited. Lays the sauce on thick then quickly turns up the grill. We non ragheads have one chance here: stand behind the only guy who is not owned and does what has to be done. He doesn’t give a shit what enemies think and that’s the singular qualification for leadership. Middle Finger Management.
Trump is definitely not liked by the Euro socialists, and he doesn't like them either, but he isn't going to leave NATO, or stick a stiletto into the WEF.
Although, he may piss off some of the WEFfers, and make them hate him too!
Regarding Greenland, we already have military bases there, and we already have solid treaties with Denmark, so we don't need to steal or buy Greenland.
Especially since Greenland and Denmark are both already in NATO.
If we huad a sane world, and a wise and moral and strong leader, and a desire to stop a leader who was doing evil, the President would send a Delta Force team into Larry Finks home, arrest him, humiliate him, charge him, speedy trial, and hold his scalp up for the world billionaire oligarchs to see, and say, "America will not permit evil wealthy vermin, who think they are better than all the people, and better than "the law". So, more of these to come."
What about the FED who bankrolled him? The Federal Reserve, they has 'absolute zero' levels of legitimacy:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...." -Thomas Jefferson
Since its spurious inception in 1913, the "price stability" mandated FED has looted 98+% of the US dollar's value. This means impoverishing innocent children. This means elder widows. This means you.
Money creation belongs to We the People, not to a private bank masquerading around as a government agency (the word 'Federal' is used to trick us), that first counterfeits and then lends that money to us at interest to be repaid to them while inflating away (leaching) its value.
"Permit me to issue the currency of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." -Rothschild
Rothschild said this because he who controls the money spigot, controls the root of all evil, and as such the minds of most men.
I kind of view them as paid actors. Bureaucrats. Don't mind them being on the list, same as Fauci. But the hugely rich who are cowardly hiding in the shadows and pretending to be actual entrepreneurs and capitalists but are actually murderers and sociopaths directing the bureaucrats, are the ones that need to be dealt with. Who decided, "Maduro needs to go". That is the person who needs to go.
The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable.
Strongly agree, TT. Very accurate summation of fifty years of applied marxism. A very subtle force when I became aware of the process, in the early sixties, (high school); but absolutely blatant today.
I freely acknowledge that, as I enter my eighth decade, I have finally succumbed to the eighth manipulation. I tried. I really did. Worked for many 'rightest' candidates over the years. Starting in high school, well over sixty years ago. Even did an insanely frustrating term on our municipal council. And preached self reliance, responsibility, and civic duty to my classes during my years as a contract lecturer at our local college. (Eventually, that contract was rather emphatically not renewed.)
My column, in our local weekly, for almost two decades strongly supported family, God, and country.
But ... I'm done. As many have pointed out, we can't vote our way out of this. Not in the least because, (first manipulation), it doesn't matter who sits in any particular legislature, they're ALL the same. Corrupted!
Mr. Ben---- Trey G. was a paper tiger. I heard him talk, talk, talk and promise consequences hundreds of times but.......did he ever accomplish anything or change the system in any way. Correct me if I am wrong but......he loved to show himself on the TV cameras but......actually getting anything done, not so much.
Ben, it is the fact that the Deep State Federalists are in control of this country. They are protecting their turf and creating a population that will support that autocracy. That IS the design of the past 50 years, and it maybe too late to do anything about it.
Look at our invasion, other socialist countries have failed and the losers have been financed to come here. The Deep State will create the same failure.
Fink bankrolls Democrats, just like Soros, Steyer, Zuckerberg, Hoffman, Bezos, Buffett, Gates, etc. If he's making nice to Trump now, it's because he wants something. And Trump, who's becoming more of a disappointment every day, will probably give it to him, while we're told he's playing 4D chess against idiots.
The leftist party is alive and rxping its citizens right off the bat here in Virginia. The White Witch Spanberger had her bills written up and online this morning. But no worries, she's making life "more affordable " for us.
There may have been vote fraud, but that doesn't account for the White Witch's win. Her opponent, Winsome Sears, was behind the whole time. NoVa and Richmond run that state the way NYC and Buffalo run the shithole where JHK and I live. They vote their interests (meaning government money and government jobs) more than average Americans do.
The American dream is to live and pursue your ambitions without interference from bankers and government, not houses fronted by white picket fences or becoming richer than Croesus.
OGW. Traditional American capitalism builds. Mightily! “Stakeholder Capitalism is a different animal. It distributes only and is never equally effective.
Capitalism only works if it is unimpeded and deregulated.
In this country, that does not exist, and thus socialism has been making inroads ever since WW2. People look for solutions instead of creating solutions. That has been the credo of the Left since the war. They have been very successful.
Gotcha. Given the comments, it looks like you've been invaded by negativists. A lot of consequences coming. It's gonna get worse. This is going to be a tumultuous and conflictive year. Brace.
We should always be skeptical of *everything* government does or says they are going to do, regardless of whether Coke or Pepsi are "in office." That isn't negative. That's wise and prudent.
A call for unity and grace from the mountains high, to the wave crashed coasts:
"The person down the street who votes differently than you is not your enemy. They are your neighbor. They worry about the same things you worry about. They want their kids to be safe and their bills to be paid and their country to be a place worth living in. They have been manipulated just like you have been manipulated, fed a different flavor of the same poison, sorted into a different tribe by the same algorithm, pointed at you as the enemy by the same people who point you at them.
The working class Republican and the working class Democrat have more in common with each other than either of them has with the billionaire class that funds both parties.
You share the same struggles. You face the same rigged systems. You are being crushed by the same economic forces that have transferred more wealth upward in the last fifty years than at any point in human history. And instead of uniting against the people doing this to you, you are screaming at each other on the internet about pronouns and flags and whatever fresh outrage the algorithm served up this morning.
This is exactly what they want. A nation at war with itself cannot resist a takeover. A people consumed by mutual hatred will accept any authority that promises to protect them from the manufactured enemy. Every empire that fell was divided before it was conquered. Every free people who lost their freedom were set against each other first.
The red versus blue war is not real. It is a show put on by people who own both teams. It is professional wrestling and you think it is a real fight. The wrestlers go backstage after the match and laugh together while you are still screaming at the guy in the other section who was rooting for the wrong character.
This Is Our Country Not Theirs
This nation belongs to the people who live here and work here and raise families here and will be buried here. It does not belong to billionaires who hold citizenship in three countries and will flee to their bunkers the moment things get bad. It does not belong to tech oligarchs who view democracy as an obstacle to efficiency. It does not belong to foreign interests who have purchased so much influence that they might as well be writing our laws themselves.
We have to stop letting them divide us. We have to start seeing each other as fellow Americans again instead of enemy combatants in a culture war that was manufactured to keep us weak. We have to remember that the person screaming at us online is also a victim of the same manipulation, and maybe if we stopped screaming back and started talking, we might realize we have been fighting the wrong enemy this entire time.
Turn off the television. It is not informing you. It is programming you. Question everything, including the sources you trust, especially the sources you trust. Talk to people who disagree with you and do it without trying to win. Listen to why they believe what they believe. You might discover that the monster you have been told to hate is actually just another person trying to make sense of a confusing world with imperfect information, exactly like you.
Remember who you are.
You are an American. Your ancestors came to this land or were brought to this land or were already on this land, and regardless of how they got here, they built something together that was supposed to be different from the old world’s tyrannies and aristocracies. That project is not finished. Every generation has to fight to keep it alive against the forces that want to drag us back to a world where a handful of rulers own everything and everyone else serves at their pleasure.
Stop letting them divide you. Your enemies are not your neighbors. Your enemies are the people who profit from your division and are building machines to replace you the moment you are no longer useful.
Start acting like it before it is too late". —The Wise Wolf
"We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools."
Thanks for the paid political announcement.
Mr, Kunstler, apologies if it comes off that way, bu no one paid me, I am trying to get both sides to unite because we've been torn asunder by:
The Binary Thought Control Matrix
The media - both news and entertainment - have now politicized nearly everything in our society as an extremely powerful mechanism of control.
Politicization is so effective at manipulating the populace because most people emotionally connect their personal belief system to the belief system of their political party, and so then any attack on their party - legitimate or otherwise - is interpreted by their brain as an attack on themselves. Reason and logic then jump out the nearest window as raw emotion takes the helm, thus making them even more susceptible to the predatory controlling influences.
Most people will not act to secure their future, so long as they feel they have an advocate fighting for them in the public or political arenas. This is why Republican vs Democrat equals divide and conquer (we fight amongst ourselves while they decimate our support systems and establish totalitarian control). The human mind is binary. Our thought process can often be boiled down into terms (often ultimatums) of – this or that – and our adversaries understand - very well - the art of this war.
"A mental conflict occurs when beliefs are contradicted by new information. This conflict activates areas of the brain involved in personal identity and emotional response to threats. The brain's alarms go off when a person feels threatened on a deeply personal and emotional level, causing them to shut down and disregard any rational evidence that contradicts what they previously regarded as "truth".
It's often far easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." —Unknown
To reiterate: "We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools." —MKL Jr.
Bollocks. There will be no reasoning together with the Left. They are having too much fun going ape-shit. They will not moderate their behavior until their actions meet superior force, up close and personally.
To the extent that is true (I am not so sure as of yet) here is why:
Ten Ways the 1% are Manipulating Us Right Now
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable.
All made possible by the group psychosis of the left.
Look, I am no Charlie Kirk, but I am a retired clinical psychologist and I have found no way, NO WAY, to get through their always-present shield of self-aggrandizement and their denigration of us gun toting Bible clingers.
Sorry, but this really is a class thing, and these nut jobs would need to deign to come down from their lofty perches and mingle with the untouchables for dialogue and learning to occur.
No, we’re not divided by puppet masters. We’re divided by right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, which is from whence you spew your endless garbage.
The Father of Propaganda (Related to Freud and the great uncle of the founder of Netflix), The Tavistock Institute, & JP Morgan disagree:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... In almost every act of our daily lives ... we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons ... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” —Edward Bernays, Father of Propaganda
“From the Congressional Record January 27, 1917: JP Morgan, Steel, Shipbuilding, and “powder” interests hired 12 high-ranking newspaper execs to determine how to “control generally the policy of the daily press” throughout the entire country.
Answer: They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. …the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly SUPERVISE AND EDIT INFORMATION…. This policy also included the suppression of everything in opposition to the WISHES of the interests served.”
From that you can draw a straight line to this:
“Comcast owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Universal Pictures, and dozens of cable channels. Disney owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and just absorbed most of 21st Century Fox. Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, HBO, the DC universe, and a sprawling empire of cable networks. Paramount Global owns CBS, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. Sony controls a massive chunk of the music and film industry. And News Corp, the Murdoch empire, owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and newspapers across three continents.
Your local news station that you think is independent? Probably owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which controls nearly two hundred television stations across America and forces them all to read the same scripted editorials. Your favorite newspaper? Bought up by a hedge fund or a billionaire who wanted a mouthpiece. Your streaming service? Owned by one of the six. Your social media feed? Curated by algorithms designed by Silicon Valley billionaires to keep you angry and engaged and clicking.”
“Both” sides have “united” … but fools will always be fools.
Thank you. BTW, your last quote is often attributed to Mark Twain.
Right, thank you Tom!
Only one side encouraged their base to cut off all contact with their relatives who didn't bob their heads to their agenda. I have found that also true among some old friendships.
BB, check the reply under Kent Ramsay's comment for how they brainwashed them so effortlessly.
Blue vs. Red is very active and insidious. The change in America is that the Blue side has become UN-American, instead lining up with the global socialists that want control of the world. One half, almost of this country’s population has become gimme oriented, looking for a government which will give them cradle to grave care. You see them on the blog, constantly. They are Blue. The ambitious “Rich class” is a target for these folks, who are ready to use very governmental means to steal from them.
Reds want things the way they were before the Biden inspired invasion. That is the heart of MAGA. Reds want no part of NYC, where a Muslim despot wants to destroy any form of individual freedom and responsibility. How? Print money and hand it out. Absolutely nothing about teaching the people how to fish.
Just look at education as an example. Blues want socialized education, run from DC, controlled by a Karen union zealot. They want education to be indoctrination of sexual deviance, indoctrination of hatred of White people and dependence on a government. In the cities, they are an indoctrination into the crime gang social order, forming, with rapid transit, a perfect system to distribute drugs. Reds want education to be the parent’s choice, “Choice”. They want parents, not government, to decide how education is done. They want American history and civics to be taught, to show with examples how much better America is than anywhere else, as it is.
Red vs. Blue? Humongous difference and which wins this millennium will determine what the USA will be, America or Amerika.
Remember whose you are!!
I like that
,
It also does not belong to hordes of Sub IQ sub Saharan goatfucking savages imported here to fuel the agenda.
What is your suggestion when it comes to removing them ?
<crickets>
Put the Blue freaks that are hindering ICE into the slammer. If we are to be brothers, we need commonality and ambition. Both are dying.
Personally, the liberals I know do not want the same things I want. They no longer live down the street. They organized paid protests, abandon their children and celebrate when good men die.
Yep, and they are all bat shit crazy.
Nice try at trying to commandeer the message while appearing to be friendly as you run cover for criminals.
The criminals are the ones who bankrolled this—our own government to NGOs like the 'Project Syndicate' using our tax dollars to destroy us via the Cloward-Piven swamping and draining of our social safety nets:
“Those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws" —President Obama
Why the Judas said this:
Bloomberg: Headline: Venezuela's Violent Deaths Fall to 22-Year Low on Migration
Text: Venezuela's rate of violent deaths dropped to its lowest level in more than two decades following years of massive migration as both criminals and victims fled the nation's economic crisis. —Archived Source: https://archive.is/JOaY9
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán exposes Soro's plan to flood the EU with millions of "asylum seekers" annually from a Project Syndicate document: https://old.bitchute.com/video/nH877m215bXP [2:33mins]
So if your point was that Obama was the criminal in chief who incentivized division, why weren’t you clear in stating this?
Because both sides are in on it... Trump may be the wildcard, I hope he is, but as for the rest:
At the close of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, “What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin?” He replied: "A republic, if you can keep it."
It is, was, and will always be our job to keep the government in check. If we do not, then we will end up back at square one and become slaves once again. No one is going to come to our rescue... except ourselves.
So with that in mind, if in coming here you've never heard of the following:
Asset Forfeiture, NSLs, ALEC, AIPAC, TPP, FISA Courts, Congressional Insider Trading, Judicial Standing, Deferred Prosecution, Parallel Construction, Stingray Devices, EO 12333, XKeyscore, COINTELPRO, Pentagon Papers, Gary Webb, Operation Mockingbird, Operation Northwoods, Operation Paperclip, Project Monarch, FASAB 56, MKUltra, CBDCs, Digital ID, Social Credit, Vaccine Passports, 15 Minute Cities
Or worse, you've heard of them but can't be bothered to care, then like it or not, you are one reason among many that we are on a one-way flight straight to Hell. To the corporations and their puppet politicians, your ignorance and apathy are worth more than all the slaves in China. Because it is your indifference that enables these bottom feeding cockroaches to thrive in the dark and rob you of your wealth and liberty.
This is not political, it's universal. Both of the puppet parties you think you get to choose from every two years are completely infected by blanket webs of corruption and have long ago mortgaged their allegiance to their corporate masters. And what these leeches need more than anything to survive and thrive is a stupid, apathetic populace with red tags on their ears who will lap at their feet and believe every lie they feed them, or worse, are too busy staring at their smart phones to even care that they're being lied to.
The natural state of humanity is to slide into slavery and conflict. Our American bulwark against that decay was built by the blood, sweat, tears, hard work, and personal sacrifice of countless millions. These people gave everything to build the pillars of justice that protect and sustain you, and it is your responsibility to give something back and sacrifice a little in order to maintain those pillars and pass them on to the next generation. Anything less is a betrayal to those who broke their back to build the structure you are now standing on. So put down your Facebook and start paying attention to the things going on around you before that structure crumbles to nothing beneath your feet and you become a slave once again.
Remember, a nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves and you get more of what you tolerate. So turn off your Goddamn TV, turn on your mind, and get out there and stop tolerating it before you wake up one morning robbed of your remaining liberty and you no longer have a choice.
Someone far wiser than I once pointed out that: 'Power without oversight is the fastest route out of a democracy'. Your responsibility then, is to render that oversight.
Joseph de Maistre said: 'Every citizenry has the government they deserve...'
What will we deserve...
No, we’re not divided by puppet masters. We’re divided by right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, which is from whence you spew your endless garbage.
Worth considering: From then:
From the Congressional Record January 27, 1917: JP Morgan, Steel, Shipbuilding, and “powder” interests hired 12 high-ranking newspaper execs to determine how to “control generally the policy of the daily press” throughout the entire country.

To now:
“Comcast owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Universal Pictures, and dozens of cable channels. Disney owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and just absorbed most of 21st Century Fox. Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, HBO, the DC universe, and a sprawling empire of cable networks. Paramount Global owns CBS, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon.

“I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one.” —Mark Twain
It definitely belongs to anyone who is a citizen, rich, poor, White, Black, Purple, anyone who has assimilated into America and love what it stands for.
That about eliminates the Blues, who hate this country.
I get sick of the billionaire haters who just do not seem to understand that the rest of us get our ability to exist and progress due to the entrepeneuerial spirit of the billionaire class. That does NOT include the political parasites, mostly Blue socialists, that steal from the middle and upper classes using the government.
I lived in Newport RI for four years. Belleview Ave. is where all the hated rich folks lived in their mansions. But lost in all the hatred is the fact that most of the town lived between the mansions and the wharf, gaining subsistence from working in the mansions.
“We must learn to live together as brothers”. Humanity has been around for a million years, and very little progress has been made in this direction.
The USA is the latest attempt at trying something better, taking the control from an autocratic group and giving it to the people. People are not brothers, they are close when they have commonality, striving for the same goals. That is the weakness of socialism and autocracy, no self determination, people get what they are allotted by powers that are stupid and out of their control. Feudalism created the Middle Ages, the Dark centuries.
The Renaissance was a creation of the Middle Class. As the middle class is destroyed by socialism, back we go.
"The Renaissance was a creation of the Middle Class.:
John,
Wealthy patrons and blue collar artists. You might have a difficult time defending that statement.
Tri that’s why we’re here! 🇺🇸
It might have once been as you describe, but that ended with the Obama presidency if not before. It is no longer a matter of political or minor ideological differences, the democrat party has been taken over by vey evil people intent on destroying the USA constitutional republic and installing central planning communist control. The only power they have has been gained by massive money laundering corruption and voter fraud, which they are desperately trying to maintain through violent means. Anyone actually legitimately voting for these people is complicit in their criminality.
Absolutely agree with you that the enemy is utilizing the Divide and Conquer technique to destroy American ideals. Invasion and education are the main culprits.
But, why can’t someone shut down the Blue finance network coming in from the Davos, Rothschilds groups? Is the Deep State so ensconced that counter activity to Soros et al is not possible?
Trump and his MAGA group is the only thing standing in the way of the DAVOS set, but only if the Blues are beat down, especially the judiciary. I wonder if the Justices realize they hold the future of this country in their hands.
IMO, learn to hate the people undermining our country, the folks at Davos, and the parasites in the USA, the Blues, who desire their cradle to grave bullshit to be instituted here. America dies due to these folks activities, humanity dies. Might as well have AI in charge of everything, as the power numbskulls trying to convince us that they are all powerful.
"The lawless are going to be rounded up, from Raffensperger in Georgia, to Katie Hobbs in Arizona, to Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, to Jena Griswold in Colorado, to dozens of other officials who were in on the big vote switcheroo of Nov. 3, 2020."

You are not wrong, but what was the alternative offered up in 2016, 2020, 2024? Each election is a binary choice - unfortunately it has been a choice between the "lesser of two evils" for longer than anyone realized. A return to free and fair elections must be the priority: voter ID, paper ballots, no mail-in ballots. I’ll vote for the side that ensures The Peoples' votes by a system as incorruptible as possible.
It will never end. If we get this election "integrity " done, as needed, WHO IS COUNTING? Who is watching? And do the watchers get thrown out by "security" because of a "flood"? That is my fear.
More like a broken toilet after a 650-pound Democrat "election watcher" destroys the seat, the wax seal, and the porcelain bowl when she sits down. And here you thought "The Plumbers" were strictly a Nixonian organization!
Was this what happened down in Atlanta when they stopped counting ballots in the early am?
I'm with you, brother.
Yep! I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m cautiously optimistic, yet highly skeptical 🤨
I think that sums it up perfectly.
That about sums up "Lucy with the Football" Trump and the Americans playing Charlie Brown.
Trump shut down the WEF? Only if directed by the bosses of the WEF (and Trump).
As Trump 2.0 comes up on a year running things, his real accomplishments are trending the same way - keep Americans polarized, keep Americans distracted with nonsensical actions, keep building the digital prisons of CBDCs and IDs, and keep rolling out new tariffs to help Americans pay more into the corrupted system and keep things afloat until The Great Reset.
It's gonna make Krakens look like your pet goldfish won at the County Fair.
Armchair quarterbacks who never played football, much less even held one.
The people who complain because Trump is hamstrung by the Deep State would be the first to complain of fascism if he actually took the steps that are needed to right the ship. He is trying to get this country to realize how effed up the direction is we are going. Even Jesus “lost” to the PTB of His day, trying to convince them their direction was wrong. It took eleven men and a few thousand of their followers, after inspired by a miracle, to get the word out and convince people of Jesus’ message.
Does Trump have to become a martyr to convince folks?
Democrats did their best to explode his cranium via hystrostatic shock caused by a 5.56 NATO round fired by a would-be savior. The execution was going to be on CNN. Instead, a miracle happened, the would-be assassin died, and the investigation into who else was involved never really got started.
Dripping with cynicism doesn’t begin to describe this response! And I’m right there with you. The only change I would suggest is: POTUS-2: Electric Boogaloo.
You’re quite wrong. Trump knows his legacy, his freedom, and maybe his life depend on winning this battle. A year ago he started with DOGE and USAID, which showed he was thinking long-term. He knows he needs to win the midterms. His repeated statements about the 2020 steal, about Omar and Minnesota corruption are not bluff or bluster. He and Bondi are preparing major cases that will start this year, before the midterms. You’re about to see a reality show about Democratic Party corruption.
" "Timing, not haste, drives what will happen next." —Thomas Sowell "
Absolutely. Timing. 10-15 sleeper cells already here and ready to launch complex organized terrorist attacks on a dozen tier 2 US cities will bring institutional paralysis, prolonged lawlessness and chaos that always precedes regime change. That’s what being without power and water does to Americans who will hit the streets after missing 9 meals. Arm up. Your neighbors will want your food.
I, and my family, are armed and trained and ready for what the Demoncraps have been planning with their importation of millions of military-aged men, primarily, and their storm trooper imitators, antifa and blm. The large blue cities will be he worst to reside in as the limited rule of law now existing in them will likely disappear. The exact reason they are so fanatical about removing our rights under the 2nd and even 1st Amendments. Remember your friends and keep them close and watch carefully those who are opposed to what this nation stands for.
Unfortunately, President Trump's bizzaro Ukraine peace negotiations, pirates of the Caribbean LARPing, and Netanyahu's and Adelson's Hanukkah gifts in Gaza and Iran took precedence over properly handling the flaming bowl of shite here at home. Tweets instead of competent prosecutions of the traitorous, criminal people and organizations his administration uncovers and inexplicably recovers. No Epstein files (because his donors are clients), no MAHA (kill shots still on the books, with more coming), and a 50-year mortgage scheme to turn home ownership into modern-day serfdom that only benefits a bankster monarchy. Also, sending in masked storm troopers to round up illegals a dozen at a time is not the most effective way to capture and eject the 25 million miscreants that slithered in during "President Biden's Reign of Error." He should be going after the state and local officials cloaking their identities and encouraging the misappropriation of benefits intended for legitimate American citizens. There's still time to correct course before we hit the rocky shores of mid-term elections, but I've got my lifeboat ready.
I see from your bio that you're a former reporter. I can believe it after that moronic rant showing no understanding of geopolitics, and of course with the usual anti-Semitic tidbit thrown in.
I see from YOUR BIO that you're probably not a real person. Now, scoot....
You found me out, genius. I'm a bot.
I rest my case.
Eff you whatever you are puffing makes you delusional.
Stick to what you know, which apparently isn't this.
"The lawless are going to be rounded up, from Raffensperger in Georgia, to Katie Hobbs in Arizona, to Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, to Jena Griswold in Colorado, to dozens of other officials who were in on the big vote switcheroo of Nov. 3, 2020." From your keyboard to God's monitor...
Nice essay and Thomas Sowell quote, but with the November elections looming and the results not looking good for Republicans or Trump, I'd say haste becomes critical. Time it for after the elections, when Trump will be faced with renewed congressional investigations and impeachments, and substantial change as envisioned by JHK will disappear like morning fog in the rising sun.
If it comes to that, it will demonstrate that the people prefer to have a federal government that operates like Minnesota's and the four years of auto-pen, where crime and unfettered immigration are standard operating procedure. With all due respect, I hope you are wrong.
And that is entirely possible. Ben Franklin’s statement was wise, “if you can keep it”.
Two things are required, education, especially of the evil of the opposition, and commonality of purpose, especially control of the elite in the Deep State.
OK then. No offense, but this reads like a sardonic parallel to "I have a Dream."
Yes, I don't think Trump will stick a stiletto into the WEF when he goes to their meeting.
It is a nice dream though!
Hmmm, he was caste very negative the last time he was invited.
The European socialists hate Trump and Vice versus. NATO is a joke without the USA, Trump does not trust the alliance at all. The EU is the same as the ethnocentric differences in Europe still exist.
Trump will be tolerates and besieged for his stand on Greenland.
By the way, if you really understand what is going on above the Arctic Circle, you would realize how right he is. The world is divvying up and Trump is trying to get the Western Hemisphere part.
He skewers the WEF, WHO, UN every time he’s invited. Lays the sauce on thick then quickly turns up the grill. We non ragheads have one chance here: stand behind the only guy who is not owned and does what has to be done. He doesn’t give a shit what enemies think and that’s the singular qualification for leadership. Middle Finger Management.
Trump is definitely not liked by the Euro socialists, and he doesn't like them either, but he isn't going to leave NATO, or stick a stiletto into the WEF.
Although, he may piss off some of the WEFfers, and make them hate him too!
Regarding Greenland, we already have military bases there, and we already have solid treaties with Denmark, so we don't need to steal or buy Greenland.
Especially since Greenland and Denmark are both already in NATO.
Yah, I suspect I'm not alone when I think JHK might be just telling us what we want to hear (justice is coming, etc.) so we don't revolt.
If we huad a sane world, and a wise and moral and strong leader, and a desire to stop a leader who was doing evil, the President would send a Delta Force team into Larry Finks home, arrest him, humiliate him, charge him, speedy trial, and hold his scalp up for the world billionaire oligarchs to see, and say, "America will not permit evil wealthy vermin, who think they are better than all the people, and better than "the law". So, more of these to come."
What about the FED who bankrolled him? The Federal Reserve, they has 'absolute zero' levels of legitimacy:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...." -Thomas Jefferson
Since its spurious inception in 1913, the "price stability" mandated FED has looted 98+% of the US dollar's value. This means impoverishing innocent children. This means elder widows. This means you.
Money creation belongs to We the People, not to a private bank masquerading around as a government agency (the word 'Federal' is used to trick us), that first counterfeits and then lends that money to us at interest to be repaid to them while inflating away (leaching) its value.
"Permit me to issue the currency of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." -Rothschild
Rothschild said this because he who controls the money spigot, controls the root of all evil, and as such the minds of most men.
I kind of view them as paid actors. Bureaucrats. Don't mind them being on the list, same as Fauci. But the hugely rich who are cowardly hiding in the shadows and pretending to be actual entrepreneurs and capitalists but are actually murderers and sociopaths directing the bureaucrats, are the ones that need to be dealt with. Who decided, "Maduro needs to go". That is the person who needs to go.
Agree, the world is a stage...
Ten Ways the 1% are Manipulating You Right Now
The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable.
Strongly agree, TT. Very accurate summation of fifty years of applied marxism. A very subtle force when I became aware of the process, in the early sixties, (high school); but absolutely blatant today.
I freely acknowledge that, as I enter my eighth decade, I have finally succumbed to the eighth manipulation. I tried. I really did. Worked for many 'rightest' candidates over the years. Starting in high school, well over sixty years ago. Even did an insanely frustrating term on our municipal council. And preached self reliance, responsibility, and civic duty to my classes during my years as a contract lecturer at our local college. (Eventually, that contract was rather emphatically not renewed.)
My column, in our local weekly, for almost two decades strongly supported family, God, and country.
But ... I'm done. As many have pointed out, we can't vote our way out of this. Not in the least because, (first manipulation), it doesn't matter who sits in any particular legislature, they're ALL the same. Corrupted!
Kent, understand your point in principle but Maduro didn’t deserve to keep his Job.
Maduro will roll over to save himself.
That was probably the hope.
Maduro needed to go and Hugo Chavez before him.
The truth is they both need to go.
There can be more than one bad guy in power struggle.
Absolute power doesn't relent, it just changes places.
Absolute power strive to be:
Absolute.
I have approximately zero confidence that Trump will do anything to “round up” anyone, ever. Sad….
More like Pam Bondi won't round any one up. But she was his 2nd choice.
Pam Bondi is an extension of Trump.
We need a Trey Gowdy type.
Mr. Ben---- Trey G. was a paper tiger. I heard him talk, talk, talk and promise consequences hundreds of times but.......did he ever accomplish anything or change the system in any way. Correct me if I am wrong but......he loved to show himself on the TV cameras but......actually getting anything done, not so much.
All hat and no cows.
Gowdy is one strange cat.
Gowdy would've been as neutered as Sessions, Barr, and Bondi.
Are you suggesting it is a positional problem and not a personality issue?
Ben, it is the fact that the Deep State Federalists are in control of this country. They are protecting their turf and creating a population that will support that autocracy. That IS the design of the past 50 years, and it maybe too late to do anything about it.
Look at our invasion, other socialist countries have failed and the losers have been financed to come here. The Deep State will create the same failure.
So where does the invasion go next?
I remember Larry Fink saying sometimes behavior must be forced. What an appropriate name he has. 🤮
Larry Fink is a Fink.
I've always said, 'appropriately named' - If it is real, God has a sense of humor.
Another close friend of President Trump.
Fink bankrolls Democrats, just like Soros, Steyer, Zuckerberg, Hoffman, Bezos, Buffett, Gates, etc. If he's making nice to Trump now, it's because he wants something. And Trump, who's becoming more of a disappointment every day, will probably give it to him, while we're told he's playing 4D chess against idiots.
Yup. Trump has proven to be an equal-opportunity "gift accepter."

Larry Fink replaces Klaus Schwab. OMG The rat bastard that owns everything.
The leftist party is alive and rxping its citizens right off the bat here in Virginia. The White Witch Spanberger had her bills written up and online this morning. But no worries, she's making life "more affordable " for us.
I posted an article with a picture of her Virgina is in huge trouble.
The look on her face says it all.
Virginia, you fucked up!
Or was it another case of bit flipping and voter machine code doing the hard work of ripping off elections?
https://www.oann.com/newsroom/abigail-spanberger-sworn-in-as-first-female-governor-of-virginia/
There may have been vote fraud, but that doesn't account for the White Witch's win. Her opponent, Winsome Sears, was behind the whole time. NoVa and Richmond run that state the way NYC and Buffalo run the shithole where JHK and I live. They vote their interests (meaning government money and government jobs) more than average Americans do.
Ahem. If you have a mortgage Larry RAT Fink owns it. And you by extension.
So running a business & making a profit is wrong? I thought it was the American dream, the American way; America personified. God save/help America.
The American dream is to live and pursue your ambitions without interference from bankers and government, not houses fronted by white picket fences or becoming richer than Croesus.
OGW. Traditional American capitalism builds. Mightily! “Stakeholder Capitalism is a different animal. It distributes only and is never equally effective.
Capitalism only works if it is unimpeded and deregulated.
In this country, that does not exist, and thus socialism has been making inroads ever since WW2. People look for solutions instead of creating solutions. That has been the credo of the Left since the war. They have been very successful.
John. WEF “Stakeholder Capitalism” is the endpoint for 2030.
Gotcha. Given the comments, it looks like you've been invaded by negativists. A lot of consequences coming. It's gonna get worse. This is going to be a tumultuous and conflictive year. Brace.
We should always be skeptical of *everything* government does or says they are going to do, regardless of whether Coke or Pepsi are "in office." That isn't negative. That's wise and prudent.
Yes, skeptical of any one that says, “I know what you need better than you do”.
