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.
Alas, here is why (they are not beyond hope though):
Their safety is derived from warm feelings and holding hands in validation from their peers. It has no basis in logic, reason, or reality. This is an incredibly dangerous mental state to exist in, because the whims of whoever is puppeteering the group, and there is always someone, propagate through the hive mind and can spin almost any contradictory or ludicrous thought or action - to their own well being - or any atrocity into a warm and fuzzy way to ensure their security and continued existance predicated on .... warm feelings and valdiation within the group(think)
Yuri Bezmenov explained that once here:
"Exposure to true information does not matter anymore.
A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him.
Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union, and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.
When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization." —Yuri Bezmenov on how the Soviets took over countries time and time again
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.”
I fact-checked Tri-Torch on the NetFlix thing. Sure enough, Netflix co-founder Marc Bernays Randolph's paternal great-great-uncle was Sigmund Freud, and his paternal great-uncle was Edward Bernays. Found it in a Times of India article dated May 23, 2025.
I had read years ago that Bernays was related to Freud, but did not know about the NetFlix connection. Thanks, Tri-Torch.
Know all about the tel-lie-vision programming and entrapment as well social media marketing etc
Hence I curate what brings me joy, argue or debate no one, and if I watch the idiot box it’s usually old black and white comedies or 70’s/80’s comedy roasts and/or off the grid building shows. Usually too tired at night to watch anyway lol.
Good, Tri. Who are these people? What do they have in common? Ethnicity, perhaps? Walt Disney tried to warn us about them, but we didn't listen. Too busy "listening" to "our" mainstream media - which supported the Russian Revolution and later allied with those ghouls in WW2.
Normie idealism will be the end of us. As Gandalf told Barlimann: Half a day's march from here are enemies that would freeze your mind. Now it's a half a block down the street.
The Orcs are in the deep, Tri. The rats are in the corn. Charlie's inside the perimeter. We're going to have to call in an air strike on our own base.
Every day we do nothing we're getting weaker and Charlie's getting stronger.
OMG … Kumbayaya … that’s worked really well so far. You are talking about reasoning with sociopathic mentally ill people who are so far committed to their ideology (religion) that they will offer up their children for mutilation in the case of Trans ideology … or rape and murder in the case of protecting illegal criminals. These people are gone. You need to wake up and face the real world.
I am mystified by Jim's response to this eminently sane post. Mr. Trump is a temporary singularity. Yes, the Democrats have succumbed to Mass Formation Psychosis, but the Republicans are otherwise nearly as toxic. As a lifelong Democrat, I thought that he used to know that.
Imagine what they will do once they are back in power. One shudders. Thus that must never be allowed to happen, right? The Republic is dead. Long live the Empire.
I don't know what you think "my way" is. I have already attributed Mass Formation Psychosis to today's Donkeys. I am no more woke than you are. But neither do I relish living in a dictatorship with either side in control.
I Liked this comment believing that it was sarcastic. I now withdraw my Like as, upon a second reading, I realize that Lugh is actually praising the death of the US Constitution.
Phil, you really are stupid. You get an actual, real-world answer and can't handle it.
Do keep trying.
Evidence suggests that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been linked to influence campaigns that include anti-Trump rhetoric and narratives, particularly surrounding COVID-19 and U.S. foreign policy, often through covert social media operations.
Spamouflage" Operations: A long-running, pro-CCP influence network known as "Spamouflage" has been identified as pivoting to focus on U.S. elections, including targeting the competition between40 employees of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security's 912 Special Projects Working Group were charged for involvement in a campaign likely linked to this network.
Social Media Trolling: Twitter (now X) has suspended thousands of accounts linked to the CCP for spreading disinformation and generating the illusion of popular support for Beijing’s policies in the U.S. These networks were, at times, used to promote anti-Trump narratives, including the hashtags “#Trumpandemic” and “#TrumpVirus,” often with many of the accounts having zero followers.
Preference Against Reelection: Reports in 2020 indicated that Beijing stepped up negative rhetoric about the Trump administration regarding Hong Kong, TikTok, and COVID-19, with assessments suggesting China preferred that President Trump—viewed as unpredictable—not win reelection.
Propaganda Battle: Research identified accounts, sometimes tweeting in broken English, that used Twitter to spam the former president with pro-CCP messaging and anti-Trump narratives.
I handled your answer, LBCB. It was ridiculous, though.
Tri did not post anti-Trump thoughts. He posted anti-TPTB thoughts.
-----
If you truly "think" that CCP paid Tri to post this on CFN then you are even dumber than I previously thought. And I didn't know that that was even possible.
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.
Are you nuts? You think the USA is one country. No wonder you are confused all the time. The Red-Blue division is only one division. We are not one country, we are many competing societies fooling itself as being unified.
I love the idea of America, of the founders, of individual freedom and responsibility. My ideal is dying, rapidly now, as all liberal societies, empires, do. Before the empire, there was the republic.
It is dying due to socialist attitudes like you, Lugh and Dennis, that think that the elites make better decisions than individuals do. The future may be the decline of individualism, it will be a sad day for humanity as the corruption demonstrated by today’s governments takes over.
Huh? You must have me confused with somebody else. I rally against TPTB constantly! I despise the "elites."
-----
I'm not a socialist, John. While I do support socialized health care (like you support socialized war), I'm an Econ-degree capitalist through and through.
It makes perfect sense. The domestic socialists want education to be run by the Department of Education to run education and the head of the teacher’s Union join in for central control.
Don't put them in the slammer. The good taxpayers of this country shouldn't be punished for their deviant behavior. No, let the ICE guys have at them with billy clubs and metal batons. Beat the hell out of these bastards. Break some knee caps, ribs and jaws. Then the consequences are real. Prison and jail are no longer a deterrent to this kid of behavior.
I have a real question for you, Lugh. What, IYO, is the attitude of the European Joe Average, about the invasion of Europe by the Middle East and Africa, mostly Muslim? Are they welcomed heartily, like the governments want us to believe, or is a nationalistic backlash, like in the US, forming up?
I do not understand why any peoples would WANT to be replaced.
Europe has always been ethnocentritic. The nations stem from age old, probably familial, connections inside national borders. It is this social order that the governments, under globalist tutelage, that the European invasion is aimed at. The globalists do not want a unified Europe any more than they want a unified USA. That is why the stupidity of what is going on in Europe all the way to Canada is so disconcerting, they are fighting their own demise,
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.
Liberal, my foot. They want to steal from you, using the government until that stops, then violence from that point. The invaders did not come here to find work, they came here to steal from us, through Biden promised welfare. People who think that the invaders are nice benign “neighbors”, are fools, and make perfect dupes for the invasion. Think Minnesota, NYC, California.
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.
The democrat party is a clear and present danger to the United States. It is a quasi-Marxist subversive organization and should be designated as such. New York is a microcosm of what they want to do to the country. They're busily setting up a type of underground network of governors, mayors and attorneys general that simply bypass the federal government. If you look at it from a spiritual point of view, the tares are being exposed for the fire.
The Wise Wolf is anything but wise .... I used to follow that clown on Substack but after replying to one of his articles that defended Renee Good & said that ICE murdered her, he didn't refute any of my points but instead called me names & blocked me.
Now he writes the above nonsense: "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."
Uh, sorry Unwise Wolf, but no they don't .... the people down the street who vote differently than me want to allow boys to play on my daughter's sports teams, they want to transition my son, they want open borders, and on & on.
So, yes, the person down the street who votes differently than me IS MY ENEMY!
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...'
The normie liberals I know aren't divided from the normie conservatives. Both sides agree to disagree on politics & get on with their lives, which include regular social events involving each other. But on the fringes, there is no equivalency of behavior, we only have a rabid mob on "the left" right now.
And those perpetrating the normie political division & orchestrating the radical madness are also being manipulated, by evil itself, to spread this evil. At what point is a human being so given over to evil that we can only leave them to be consumed as God Himself does with the unrepentant wicked in the Bible? I would advise that "by its fruits you shall know it." We now have a mass hysteria where public mobs of people appear to be possessed by some demonic egregore. At some point, the witch-burners must simply no longer be tolerated, regardless of what evil influence led them so horribly astray. Jesus wants us to love them, but not to suffer their evil.
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.

How can you say Tritorch is spewing garbage? He’s making 100% accurate sense! You’re just feeding into the divide he’s talking about if you are still picking sides…
"It is, was, and will always be our job to keep the government in check. "
Yes, TriTorch, you are spot on correct. The government is a creation of the people, not vice versa. The created cannot exceed the authority of the creator and that is what has happened. The creator is now at the mercy of the created because the creator no longer recognizes his/her authority.
Can you or I take money from our neighbor and give it to someone else or spend it on what we want to spend it on? No. We go to jail. So tell me, why can government get away with it?
Can you or I steal someone's land and then sell it? No. We go to jail. So why can government get away with it?
Can you print all the paper money you want and insist that it is money and use that money to buy whatever you want? No. We go to jail if we do this. So tell me why government can do this?
Herein lies the problem. The created (government) has exceeded the authority of the creator (the people). If you or I cannot do certain things because it is illegal, then the government sure as shit cannot be doing it.
The human condition has been constant through the ages, a wealthy minority controlling a majority that want to take their wealth away from them. Even the middle class gives the majority a “legal” way of ascending the wealth ladder.
Government is created by the wealthy class to protect themselves from the stealing. Including the US Constitution.
The following was originally written during the era of 9-11 boogeyman terrorism. For the purposes of modernization, please replace any mention of the word ‘terrorism’ with ‘bio-terrorism’ and any mention of the word ‘security’ with ‘bio-security’. None of this has ever been about safety, it has only ever been about control.
We no longer know the meaning of freedom. We have traded away everything to a false prophet. We refuse to see that belonging to a government is a fate far worse than any terrorist can reap; than any madman can sow.
The word of a terrorist has no power over us. The government's word is law.
In the name of security we will lose our security. In addition to the terrorist we will have the relentless uncompromising gaze of the government.
The power of the people is born from its freedom, and it is the people who must be the guardians of that power. It is from our freedom that we draw the authority to force our government to abide its boundaries. Through the guise of security we are slowly allowing our government to relinquish that authority, and ultimately, the government will know no boundaries.
Once we allow our freedoms to categorically run dry, we, as a people, will no longer have the authority to stand up to our government.

When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. —Thomas Jefferson
“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.
Actually, the fabric of society, its economy, was significantly changed by the Renaissance. Formation of cities and the guilds started up the middle class. The actions of the patrons were a small part.
He's a goof. Artists - real ones - are beyond the class system which pertain to the body and material goods. But of course wealth is needed for them to have the leisure to be allowed to do what they want to do. So Johnny Tremain is right in a round about way.
You were an artist with your 38 revolver. Al Capone with a tommy gun. John with his needles. Never forget Huey Long's ideal of every man a king.
For four years, I worked the mean streets. Four years in dark corners, forbidding venues. Four years with violence an almost every-shift occurrence...four years, and no one ever called me an "artiste"...but bust several heads with a flashlight, and they call you "violence prone", and racist.
You are witnessing the results of liberal socialism, control by the government. When folks lose their way to progress inside a society because of government control, they rebel until they cannot. Social disorder, crime, lassitude are all products of socialism.
Total nonsense. There are two totally opposing worldviews at war here and never shall they meet. The leftist victim class (takers) that don't believe in personal responsibility, they think that if their lot in life doesn't live up to their expectations it's someone else's fault, and that they are entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor to equalize things.
Then there are those that believe in personal responsibility... the makers. They realize if things don't go quite their way they have failed themselves, and get to work to make their world a better place.
As I have asked, is AI the Anti-Christ? Or is it the Beast? Jesus taught that God presents Himself to each human individually rather than as an organized group of “pious humans”, think Jewish or RCC. Seems to me that the degree of control of the individual that will be exerted by AI and the government is about as Anti-Christ as you can get.
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.
I have never praised DAVOS, ever. I do believe that the entrepeneuerial folks that drive economies, like Musk, are great things for a society. But not non-productive financial types, who never create anything that is not Fiat.
Yo are confused my friend by thinking that socialism of any sort is the proper way to run a society. You cast bullshit on the people by thinking that a group of illicit corrupted government people will run things better than themselves.
DAVOS is an European style international joke, I do not understand why Trump even acknowledges them with a visit.
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.
The people of Newport did not wear chains, fool. They were a group of people that went there to obtain employment, and got it. You totally missed the point of my post.
The true divide: It’s not red and blue; rich and poor; black and white; city and rural. It is real and fake. It is individual and collective responsibility, accountability and experience. All the fake dividers are for obfuscation purposes.
The gremlins are good when small but devilish when big. Just so Capitalism. But it wants to grow and it does. Corporate Capitalism is the end stage, a monster.
"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.
Paper ballots, voter ID, and no mail-in ballots is the best we can do - not absolutely corruption-proof, but better than allowing the recent election status quo to go unchecked. No system is perfect - never has been and never will be.
I would much rather trust the fat old grey haired ladies in librarian glasses who volunteer to count paper ballots than these "voting machines" churned out in hell-hole countries like Venezuela. Sometimes the solution is to reject technology in favor of simplicity. It is clear in my mind. Since the advent of voting machines America's elections are nightmare. Get rid of them.
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 supposedly was a broken water main that just happened to flood the room where ballots were stored. IMO, it was more likely caused by some muumuu-wearing woman who weighs at least as much as two of me -- and bear in mind, I outweigh Jordan Davis of the Eagles -- when she waddled over and sat on a commode.
they admit now it wasn't a broken main, but a broken toilet. Only serious enough to get rid of the Republican observers before they continued their "work".
I am all for a paper ballot system. We have one here in Oregon. It is by mail. It is not corrupted. In other states, it may be corrupted. I do not know. Here it works. However, the Presidential vote is never a binary choice as you presume The duopoly, TweedleDee and TweedleDum, R + D, and their wealthy corporate contributors, control all the major media. The bought off and paid-for and corporate-owned major media say there are only two candidates, one for each of the two duoplopy parties. Incorrect. The people get fooled, time after time after time. People listen to the news, and are busy, and do as they are told. And they vote for the duopoly, every four years. And the country continues to decline, every four years. This is true with every president, without fail, due to the duopoly. Mass media use our public airwaves for a pittance. Corporations give billions to election campaigns. Almost unlimited amounts of money to get what they want.. Corporate control of government is overwhelming. The Republic party and Democratic party are both in themselves corporations. But Americans are told, every four years, over and over, that a vote for someone outside the R + D duopoly is a wasted vote. Falsely. Over and over and over again. Part of this may be because propaganda was legalized against the American people in 2014 by President Barrack Obama. This was in a small section of the National Defense Authorization Act. Prior to 2014, propaganda against the American people had been illegal since 1948, when President Harry Truman declared it illegal after World War II.
So well said. You described America's insane political system to a "T".
I learned a long time ago that regardless of who is in power, the result is always the same. More war. More debt. More money printing. More taxes. Both parties yield the result, every fucking time.
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.
The about face on Epstein by Trump, Bondi, Patel and Bongino tells me it’s far more sinister and all encompassing than can be imagined in the most feverish of nightmares. A handful of individuals cannot destroy evil of this nature. It requires the sacrifice of millions.
Maybe I'm wrong - maybe. But what do the FACTS and EVIDENCE say?
I've been following Trump since his infamous ride down the escalator. I stand on the historical evidence of Trump's actions, and lack thereof, since that day.
My position is firmly and soundly established. Trump has revealed himself to be a Master Deceiver, and far worse than just that.
Yeah, and where is DOGE today? Gone like a fart in the wind. Never hear anything about it. Sure, DOGE beat up USAID a little, but where is it today? Nowhere. Nothing but a shadowy figure lurking in the shadows.
"You’re about to see" That's all we ever hear. We never see anything.
Follow the money. Is it going to overseas aid of doubtful value or not? Time will tell so long as tough people like Mario, JD, and Miller are watching.
Doge is back. They'll be handling immigration fraud and the money trail. Two of the top DOGEs were brought into DHS two days ago to head a team and go into the weeds and pull them out by the roots
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.
Patience. Grand juries were empaneled in FL to look at the Big Crimes.
If that is a mirage and delivers nothing, we will know we were played. Mike Davis fro one has been touting this for months as the mechanism for true accountability.
"Patience"? Did you read the timeline that I presented? It's **10 YEARS* and counting!!
Now, maybe you're going to live to the ripe old age of 345 years, but us mere mortals don't have that much time. A promise stretched decades into the future is essentially a promised unfulfilled. Trump is a Master Liar, keeping the masses in endless expectation with lies mounted on lies mounted on lies - ad infinitum. And many swallow it!
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.
Has anyone heard an explanation of why the major networks all suddenly decided to cover a live Trump rally that day? Why NBC is alleged to have brought one of those ultra high frame per second cameras?
I mean the guy who was on the roof of a building the Secret Service said had a steep roof, the guy who had a rifle and shot Trump. If they'd used a military sniper, Trump would be dead and we'd be in Year Two of an actual Kosovo-style civil war. He may have been a patsy, but he also fired the tifle.
The base is already tired of "Trump's violence". We don't have the stomach for what needs to be done. Unlike the demonic left. They rather watch the fake war of Football or Hockey rather than the real one that needs must be.
That's because some people think the country, as founded, can still be saved, while the Left sees the US has been dead for generations, since they ripped the place apart in the 1960s and '70s and failed in their attempt to remake the country. This time, when they tear it down, we'll be living in a dystopian shithole with face recognition, electronic surveillance of financial transactions, and nukes.
Yes, we learned nothing from Black slavery, bringing in another alien, hostile people to work, the Mexicans and allied Hispanics.
America was founded on Race and Religion, with an overwhelmingly powerful current of Capitalist greed hiding behind them. That was the opening for the you knows.
To remind you, the African slave trade to the New Worl started in earnest after Catjolic missionaries to Spanish and Portuguese colonies complained to the Vatican about the civil authorities forcing indigenous people to mine metals and gemstones without being inculcated with Catholic doctrine. The Vatican decreed that natives were not to be enslaved but taught the Gospel while remaining "free." However, since black Africans were seen to be irredeemable because Ham (their ancestor) had seen the naked groin of a drunken Noah, it was decided to send blacks to the New World as slaves. The vast majority of them ended up in Brazil and the Spanish-language colonies -- but of course we're constantly reminded that the only place slavery has ever occurred was in British North America and the United States. It's completely forgotten that there was no mechanism to free US slaves other than when owners let them go, as they were property and therefore had great value as long as they were tied to land, especially to bankers (see my comments here last week). Jefferson, for example, tried to free his slaves, but the Commonwealth of Virginia forbade manumission when slaveowners owed debts -- and Jefferson was nothing if not a spendthrift. And for their part, why would blacks imported to the US from Africa or the West Indies happily work for people who kept them enslaved? That many of their descendants hate America more than any external nation hates America is a testament to the horrors of slavery and the constant pick-pick-pick-pick of the American Left, trying to foment a revolution and the end of America. But sure, it's all the Jews' fault.
Right, and we've been "waiting" for *10 years* and counting. It's a criminal lie, and many continue to swallow it - hook, line and sinker. I stopped believing it in April 2017.
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 noticing the pattern, but not what it really means. The claim that he’s gonna lock up Hillary was made for the same purpose as the claim that the election was stolen: they’re both false, and they’re both just meant to get/keep him in office. They’re just rallying cries, not meant to be taken as truth.
Why did Bongino leave after a year? Because he “realized” what he already knew: the FBI actually wasn’t what he pretended it was, because he was getting in trouble from his podcast audience for failing to prosecute crimes that didn’t happen, and because he can make a lot more money pretending again.
None of the fraudsters and election schemers were charged? Is it possible there’s just no case, and no evidence of the crime? No, the conspiracy just goes deeper than we thought! How many years will it take to realize that it’s just a bloviator bloviating?
I’m not, you’re right about that. But it’s neither here nor there. Unless… you do have the courage to make an actual prediction? So make it:
Are we going to get an indictment this year?
Are we going to get a conviction this year?
Would you have made the same prediction in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2025? (I ask this one because I’ve seen your sort of unfounded confidence, on this exact issue, many times before… this is me giving you an out)
And if we don’t get an indictment or conviction this year, will you be any closer to admitting there’s nothing there?
I predict there will be multiple indictments/arrests before the midterms related to welfare fraud in Minnesota and elsewhere. There’s too much evidence the crimes are real and massive, and they are a perfect layup for Trump in many ways. He will take full advantage to win the midterms and cement his legacy with a series of actions that will be audacious, headline-grabbing, legally and ethically justified, politically popular, and utterly devastating to Democrats.
I did not make this prediction before. I was aware of Q in the early days but not convinced. My theory is independently derived, based on what I know or can deduce about Trump and his advisors.
If there are no indictments/arrests and Democrats win the midterms, my theory will be disproven. I’m 99.99% certain, though. I’ve looked for contrary evidence, but I don’t see any. I have also tried to imagine how Democrats could win the upcoming battle, and I don’t see any way they can.
I also believe that if I can figure this out, so can the DNC. I believe they know they’re screwed.
This comment was about specific claims regarding election fraud, see the original comment. Do you care to make a prediction about something that hasn’t already happened? It does tend to be a bit harder.
I mean more cases, and which connect to local and state Democrats. Yes, election fraud is connected. I expect that to hit the headlines before November, too.
If that’s true, why is he on the attack? No, I believe he was deployed to win back the blogosphere, foolishly believing his pre-FBI gig popularity would remain steady and increase.
His grand face plant will live as proof of how very disconnected from reality this administration is.
I get the impression that early on, Trump placed his bets on Bondi - rejecting the very sane advice of Gabbard. Not sure why though I have a strong hunch.
Bongino believes that the FBI is full of deep state creeps that undermine the President at every turn, right? And that these people need to be fired or at least suppressed, right? This is certainly Trump’s position.
Are you genuinely contending that the best way for Bongino to help solve this problem is to leave his position as the Deputy Director of the FBI, with all of its broad hiring, firing, and reorganization authority over the entire organization… and go back to making podcasts?
The one thing of substance he did, the only real police work he even participated in, was to investigate and haul in that wannabe terrorist who planted the bombs in D.C. What thanks did he get from his audience? They got angry at him for not arresting the “FBI deep state ringleaders who really did the crime”, because that’s who Bongino said was responsible!
And when he was confronted about this on Hannity he said, and I quote:
"I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions. That's clear. And one day I will be back in that space, but that's not what I'm paid for now. I'm paid to be your deputy director, and we base investigations on facts."
How much closer could he get to admitting he was lying, and that he’ll go back to lying when the time comes? Of course, any FBI agent, any journalist, any commentator should “base investigations on facts”. This is what a grifter looks like.
"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...
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.
Are you seriously going to shoot your neighbors who are hungry and only want something to eat? Would you really turn away that hungry child while you sit behind your guns and stuff food in your gob?
We should be looking to help our neighbors, not looking to shoot them dead because they are hungry.
I always demure at advice of this kind. Would I really shoot the single-mother next door who comes calling for some food for she and her children? Why doesn't she have food storage? Maybe she couldn't afford it? Who knows.
I would rather be shot dead and have someone steal my food storage than shoot someone because I was unwilling to share with them. Which one would God judge more harshly?
Gees Canker. You make alot of assumptions. The context is NOT today’s relative peace and tranquility in our society. The context is total chaos and lawlessness. Those with means will have set aside portions of their abundance to give. But there is a limit. When that portion is exhausted then, no. Depriving one’s own to give until its all gone is suicide. Nope. Not going to be a martyr to any immigrants cause.
Yup, we lose. The foe just needs to run out the clock. Justice delayed is justice denied. Slow means no.
If you had infinite time, an infinite number of monkeys could bang out Shakespeare. But no universe has infinite time or monkeys. It's just a way of avoiding acknowledging God.
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.
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!
Thank you for your service. What's the chapter and verse? They speak of peace when there is no peace. Now is the time for war. Are we going to blow it this time too?
Tribes exist. And a nation is by definition one people comprised of one tribe or a confederation of similar tribes.
We've let in countless alien tribes. There is no American people anymore. Thus all your thoughts are in vain until you add this to your calculations. You left this out. Thus how smart can you be? Not as smart as you think, right?
We've been invaded by a multi-million man army without a shot being fired. Yet America's military and the honored "troops" are in foreign nations protecting "democracy." They should be stationed right here on the US borders, shooting anyone who walks across. They should be finding all those who did walk across and administering harsh punishments before sending them back to their native lands. They should be here protecting us from the true enemy. Not in Japan, Korea, Germany, Yemen, Syria, Djibouti and all the other nations they are currently located in. America's troops aren't protecting us from diddly poo. Bring them home and let them start truly protecting America.
Elite Scottish regiments were fighting in Crimea when their people back home were forced off their land in favor of sheep by their largely English landlords.
We’ve? I don’t recall letting in any alien tribes. You better stop doing that Lugh!
Just joking, agree to disagree on this subject. Salvaging a future is what i am interested in, and the fight for a better tomorrow is never truely lost until it is given up.
Never give up, never surrender! Else:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” —Reagan
Funny, there is a large community of Venezuelans right here in my little state of Utah. They show up at the capitol waving their Venezuelan flags to protest this or that injustice committed against them by the very country they are attempting to suck dry. They aren't Americans. They have no desire to be Americans. They still consider themselves Venezuelans. So, send them back to Venezuela.
Fine, then the couple you know should take care of getting rid of him. Trump promised "no more wars" and "no more regime changes" because they do so much damage. You may worship the Lindsey Graham RINO globalist ideas but Trump promised the opposite which is what I voted for him to do. Tell your Venezuelan friends good luck . Trump left the Maduro regime in place.
Of the following who "deserved" to keep their job, or have a random South American country kidnap or assassinate them because they didn't deserve to be there?
The US has no authority to decide what foreign leaders stay and go. But we do it routinely as we did with both Assad in Syria and Khadaffi in Libya and Saddam in Iraq and at least 80 years of Iranian leaders. We fucked up every one of these. So, let's try to get a decent leader in our own country, which we obviously fucked up recently as well. And I helped with that.
Would Trump roll over to save himself for all the huge campaign promises he broke, like ending all wars and making public all the Epstein files and draining the swamp? Where does this massive arrogance come from that the US is some pure virgin and can judge the worthiness of all the rest of the world and kill and kidnap those it doesn't find worthy? (the most unworthy were of course installed by the US CIA)
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.
Yes, there is only do or don't do. There can be no try. The Cult must not be allowed back in office.
The Peruvian military had a 15 minute trial for Che and then he was thrown back to God. Maybe he found mercy there - there can be no mercy for such as he here. What was there to talk about? What reason for delay except weakness or corruption?
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.
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.
Wrong, we need Greenland as European interests no longer match ours.
Trump is trying to create a geopolitical and economic bloc in the western hemisphere. Where will you be when that happens and Europe splits away from us?
Russia and China areright now exploiting the Arctic way ahead of us. Obtaining Greenland as a protectorate would close the margin.
You obviously have not seen Trump’s speeches to the UN, and at a previous Davos gathering, where he’s been a total Ricky Gervais at the Oscars. Some of his best speeches!
Have patience and faith. None more than I wanted Hillary in prison…so a massive disappointment. Now, have you not observed the continuous lawfare and Executive Orders in which Trump was involved? And in one year it is miraculous how much he accomplished. Life goes on…and grand juries are at work. Trust.
So, you don’t accept the facts of two grand juries being assembled in Florida? It won’t be the GOP or Trump’s followers who revolt! Trust me, and let’s have a bit of faith, hope, and wisdom to guide us through these next months.
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 empaneling of grand juries in Florida to go after the Demoncrap criminals is good news, as too many do not appreciate the amount of time and work that has to go into investigations and gathering of evidence before indictments are issued. Of course, no such impediments exist for Demoncrap AG's or their lawfare toadies, who file actions based simply on their political motives without a scintilla of proof. But that is what you expect from a totally corrupt and venal political system that is trying hard to copy that of Cuba or Venezuela. We can only hope that the crime of treason is once again enforced as treason, and sedition, have been omnipresent in the Demoncrap Party and its adherents to their extreme leftist, nee communist, ideology.
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.
Bullshit. The Bankers are just the people who did pursue their ambitions and continue to do so. That's most people's ambition.
Do you think that maybe, must maybe, Capitalism and Nationalism don't go together? Ditto Christianity? You know, "Love of money is the root of all evil"? Think about it.
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.
Okay, capitalism is the market running the economy, not the government.
So in pure capitalism, companies and corporations are in direct competition and in a healthy economy, when a more nimble underclass of companies put older decrepit companies out of business, that is a good thing. In life, there are winners and losers. That is the problem when government tries to regulate the economy with taxes and gimme programs. The economy should be taking care of the losers with new opportunity with new companies opening all the time. Welfare is the death of pure capitalism.
BTW, Lugh is correct here. Government interference with capitalism and the resultant socialistic bailing out is what caused the approach of communism.
The big thought is that government just makes the situation worse.
John. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes. Got it. Today however the persuit of CONTROL is the goal. Control of the human race is uppermost. Monopolistic structures are overtaking all other forms of production and distribution of INFORMATION. The UN Agenda 2030 Sustainability Goals are where all nations are heading. Europe is dead meat and we are under attack here. For Islam we are all Kafirs and deserve death. Doesn’t matter going forward what capitalism does or doesn’t do or how it is defined. Human obedience to a diabolical script is playing out. And the US government is part of that script. Has been for 250 years.
Yes, I saw an opinion piece that asked a crowd who they thought would run the show, be the super power in the future. China, the USA, Israel, Russia all were mentioned. Then the prediction was made by the emcee that the future would belong to a consortium of folks that control the internet. The logic was superb.
It will be interesting how our WEF puppet, Mark Carney, reacts when Trump confronts him with an ultimatum: either get your own house in order or we'll do it for you. Deport all the bad actors your party has let in through open borders that pose a threat to American national security, end the money-laundering operation that funnels billions of dollars from terrorists and drug dealers through Canadian banks, and crack down on the Islamists who are using your country to spread jihad. Mr Trumo can tell Carney to STFU and keep his nose out of Greenland.
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.
Alas, here is why (they are not beyond hope though):
Their safety is derived from warm feelings and holding hands in validation from their peers. It has no basis in logic, reason, or reality. This is an incredibly dangerous mental state to exist in, because the whims of whoever is puppeteering the group, and there is always someone, propagate through the hive mind and can spin almost any contradictory or ludicrous thought or action - to their own well being - or any atrocity into a warm and fuzzy way to ensure their security and continued existance predicated on .... warm feelings and valdiation within the group(think)
Yuri Bezmenov explained that once here:
"Exposure to true information does not matter anymore.
A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him.
Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union, and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.
When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization." —Yuri Bezmenov on how the Soviets took over countries time and time again
Do start looking at one of our resident narcissist nut jobs Phil Denter.
What we know of MK-Ultra is just the tip of the iceberg. Limited hangout.
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.”
I fact-checked Tri-Torch on the NetFlix thing. Sure enough, Netflix co-founder Marc Bernays Randolph's paternal great-great-uncle was Sigmund Freud, and his paternal great-uncle was Edward Bernays. Found it in a Times of India article dated May 23, 2025.
I had read years ago that Bernays was related to Freud, but did not know about the NetFlix connection. Thanks, Tri-Torch.
Know all about the tel-lie-vision programming and entrapment as well social media marketing etc
Hence I curate what brings me joy, argue or debate no one, and if I watch the idiot box it’s usually old black and white comedies or 70’s/80’s comedy roasts and/or off the grid building shows. Usually too tired at night to watch anyway lol.
Wow. Nice. The cat no longer has your tongue. Your comments are appreciated. Keep it up.
Good, Tri. Who are these people? What do they have in common? Ethnicity, perhaps? Walt Disney tried to warn us about them, but we didn't listen. Too busy "listening" to "our" mainstream media - which supported the Russian Revolution and later allied with those ghouls in WW2.
Wow 😮
🙌 Amen!
Normie idealism will be the end of us. As Gandalf told Barlimann: Half a day's march from here are enemies that would freeze your mind. Now it's a half a block down the street.
The Orcs are in the deep, Tri. The rats are in the corn. Charlie's inside the perimeter. We're going to have to call in an air strike on our own base.
Every day we do nothing we're getting weaker and Charlie's getting stronger.
“Both” sides have “united” … but fools will always be fools.
OMG … Kumbayaya … that’s worked really well so far. You are talking about reasoning with sociopathic mentally ill people who are so far committed to their ideology (religion) that they will offer up their children for mutilation in the case of Trans ideology … or rape and murder in the case of protecting illegal criminals. These people are gone. You need to wake up and face the real world.
I couldn’t agree more!
Hear! Hear!
Thank you. BTW, your last quote is often attributed to Mark Twain.
Right, thank you Tom!
Which "last quote?"
"It is far easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
Yes. Twain.
Ever try reasoning with a Lefty?
They ask the exact same question about the right.
MLK was a Communist …
With a penchant for fooling around with White women in a time when that was still very frowned upon.
What a shame that changed.
That part of American culture gets really old.
What a shit storm!! What ever happened to critical thinking??? Just Do Not Listen To The BS!!!!
This is not this hard..
That has been beat out of people with chemicals that lower IQ and terrible schooling.
Endless phone use is also at fault.
I am mystified by Jim's response to this eminently sane post. Mr. Trump is a temporary singularity. Yes, the Democrats have succumbed to Mass Formation Psychosis, but the Republicans are otherwise nearly as toxic. As a lifelong Democrat, I thought that he used to know that.
Wow 😮
Imagine what they will do once they are back in power. One shudders. Thus that must never be allowed to happen, right? The Republic is dead. Long live the Empire.
If I thought more Americans were like you, I would be looking to emigrate. You'd have been cheerfully goose-stepping in Germany in the thirties.
We tried it your way and look where it got us. Time to try something completely different.
I don't know what you think "my way" is. I have already attributed Mass Formation Psychosis to today's Donkeys. I am no more woke than you are. But neither do I relish living in a dictatorship with either side in control.
I Liked this comment believing that it was sarcastic. I now withdraw my Like as, upon a second reading, I realize that Lugh is actually praising the death of the US Constitution.
Lugh reflects the very real danger that people will conclude from today’s failures that like Mamdani hold the answer.
New York City’s demise is very much the fault of corrupt politicians.
Nope. He's deadly serious.
But the Left is just playing around. They in contrast are "nice" guys like you, right?
TriTorch has the above comment on EKO’s Substack today also. Unpaid political announcement indeed.
Unpaid political announcement for whom? You know that you're displaying the very knee-jerk reaction that he wrote about, right?
-----
I don't blame Ari for posting this on more than one blog. A) It is brilliant. B) It should be read by everybody.
Right, a message of unity shared widely to get the message out is a "paid political annoucement". Sherlock Holmes, you are not.
Who would pay Tri to say, "Both sides are in cahoots in a divide-&-conquer racket"? To what end?
China of course....DUH.
China paid TriTorch to post today's top comment? 🤣
And you call me paranoid! 🤣
How much do you think that CCP paid TriTorch, Einstein? 🤣
You asked a question I answered.
Phil, you really are stupid. You get an actual, real-world answer and can't handle it.
Do keep trying.
Evidence suggests that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been linked to influence campaigns that include anti-Trump rhetoric and narratives, particularly surrounding COVID-19 and U.S. foreign policy, often through covert social media operations.
Spamouflage" Operations: A long-running, pro-CCP influence network known as "Spamouflage" has been identified as pivoting to focus on U.S. elections, including targeting the competition between40 employees of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security's 912 Special Projects Working Group were charged for involvement in a campaign likely linked to this network.
Social Media Trolling: Twitter (now X) has suspended thousands of accounts linked to the CCP for spreading disinformation and generating the illusion of popular support for Beijing’s policies in the U.S. These networks were, at times, used to promote anti-Trump narratives, including the hashtags “#Trumpandemic” and “#TrumpVirus,” often with many of the accounts having zero followers.
Preference Against Reelection: Reports in 2020 indicated that Beijing stepped up negative rhetoric about the Trump administration regarding Hong Kong, TikTok, and COVID-19, with assessments suggesting China preferred that President Trump—viewed as unpredictable—not win reelection.
Propaganda Battle: Research identified accounts, sometimes tweeting in broken English, that used Twitter to spam the former president with pro-CCP messaging and anti-Trump narratives.
I handled your answer, LBCB. It was ridiculous, though.
Tri did not post anti-Trump thoughts. He posted anti-TPTB thoughts.
-----
If you truly "think" that CCP paid Tri to post this on CFN then you are even dumber than I previously thought. And I didn't know that that was even possible.
He may be a dreamer, but he's not wrong.
Where's the King Rat Jamie Dimon? He's arguably even more powerful and evil than Larry Fink but he doesn't get a fraction of the hate he deserves.
Really … 🙄🙄🙄🙄
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.
Yes indeed :(
Yes, they are so much stronger than we are. We must become just as strong.
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.
Agree
It's less than half on the dole.
Half the nation appears to vote Democrat for a variety of reasons, one of which has always been that they started as Democrats.
My father-in-law voted Democrat until Obama, at which point he quit voting in disgust.
"One half, almost of this country’s population has become gimme oriented, looking for a government which will give them cradle to grave care."
"They want American history and civics to be taught, to show with examples how much better America is than anywhere else, as it is."
It's always something watching John argue with himself.
Considering that one is associated with Blues, and the other with Reds, as I said, the only person arguing for no reason is you.
Uhhh ... it is all one country, John.
You bitch about how awful it is but then turn around as say how great it is.
It can't be both.
Substack sucks. Please see my Carney reply here: https://www.kunstler.com/p/monsters-of-the-deep/comment/203185818
Thank you.
Are you nuts? You think the USA is one country. No wonder you are confused all the time. The Red-Blue division is only one division. We are not one country, we are many competing societies fooling itself as being unified.
I love the idea of America, of the founders, of individual freedom and responsibility. My ideal is dying, rapidly now, as all liberal societies, empires, do. Before the empire, there was the republic.
It is dying due to socialist attitudes like you, Lugh and Dennis, that think that the elites make better decisions than individuals do. The future may be the decline of individualism, it will be a sad day for humanity as the corruption demonstrated by today’s governments takes over.
Huh? You must have me confused with somebody else. I rally against TPTB constantly! I despise the "elites."
-----
I'm not a socialist, John. While I do support socialized health care (like you support socialized war), I'm an Econ-degree capitalist through and through.
One generalization piled on top of another, John.
Until the whole pile topples over into a heap of nonsense!
"Blues want socialized education, run from DC, controlled by a Karen union zealot." WTF!
That does seem like an accurate assessment.
From Kindergarten on, they get a heaping dose of Socialist talking points and brainwashing.
It makes perfect sense. The domestic socialists want education to be run by the Department of Education to run education and the head of the teacher’s Union join in for central control.
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 ?
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.
Don't put them in the slammer. The good taxpayers of this country shouldn't be punished for their deviant behavior. No, let the ICE guys have at them with billy clubs and metal batons. Beat the hell out of these bastards. Break some knee caps, ribs and jaws. Then the consequences are real. Prison and jail are no longer a deterrent to this kid of behavior.
<crickets>
Hahaha! Like Tri is monitoring his Substack notifications 24x7 in case Nick Gurr asks a question. 🤣
Sience, Jew
No telling whether this asshole meant "silence" or "science."
Hahaha! Exactly.
Phil is not Jewish, he is Roman Catholic.
He hates Israel and America while also being a retarded British Subject with an attitude problem.
If they live next to you, they are your neighbors! Just like the Pilgrims came here to assimilate to "Native American" culture. NOT!
I have a real question for you, Lugh. What, IYO, is the attitude of the European Joe Average, about the invasion of Europe by the Middle East and Africa, mostly Muslim? Are they welcomed heartily, like the governments want us to believe, or is a nationalistic backlash, like in the US, forming up?
I do not understand why any peoples would WANT to be replaced.
The Brits and Irish have turned against them. The French and the Germans? Hard to say. There is some resistance but not enough to stop it.
Europe has always been ethnocentritic. The nations stem from age old, probably familial, connections inside national borders. It is this social order that the governments, under globalist tutelage, that the European invasion is aimed at. The globalists do not want a unified Europe any more than they want a unified USA. That is why the stupidity of what is going on in Europe all the way to Canada is so disconcerting, they are fighting their own demise,
And identity.
Retard
Nick loves his Somali neighbors.
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.
So ... your country is populated by 170,000,000+ "bat shit crazies" yet you also believe it "exceptional."
Please explain.
More like 30 million or so dumb ass.
Nope. America is split 50/50 in perpetuity and the pop. is about 340M.
-----
How can half of your voting public be "bat shit crazy" yet your country be "exceptional"? You make no sense.
Do provide evidence of such.
Since I am here on the ground, I suspect I know a lot more about what is actually going on than you up in crazy canukistan.
Liberal, my foot. They want to steal from you, using the government until that stops, then violence from that point. The invaders did not come here to find work, they came here to steal from us, through Biden promised welfare. People who think that the invaders are nice benign “neighbors”, are fools, and make perfect dupes for the invasion. Think Minnesota, NYC, California.
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.
The democrat party is a clear and present danger to the United States. It is a quasi-Marxist subversive organization and should be designated as such. New York is a microcosm of what they want to do to the country. They're busily setting up a type of underground network of governors, mayors and attorneys general that simply bypass the federal government. If you look at it from a spiritual point of view, the tares are being exposed for the fire.
Not sure quasi-Marxist is correct. It’s much more like the real thing which is called Islamist/Marxist.
A neofeudal shadow government. A grand kakistocracy with the potential of being a punch line for the ages.
Amen
The Wise Wolf is anything but wise .... I used to follow that clown on Substack but after replying to one of his articles that defended Renee Good & said that ICE murdered her, he didn't refute any of my points but instead called me names & blocked me.
Now he writes the above nonsense: "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."
Uh, sorry Unwise Wolf, but no they don't .... the people down the street who vote differently than me want to allow boys to play on my daughter's sports teams, they want to transition my son, they want open borders, and on & on.
So, yes, the person down the street who votes differently than me IS MY ENEMY!
This makes far more sense to me than wading through a lot of gibberish
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

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...
The normie liberals I know aren't divided from the normie conservatives. Both sides agree to disagree on politics & get on with their lives, which include regular social events involving each other. But on the fringes, there is no equivalency of behavior, we only have a rabid mob on "the left" right now.
And those perpetrating the normie political division & orchestrating the radical madness are also being manipulated, by evil itself, to spread this evil. At what point is a human being so given over to evil that we can only leave them to be consumed as God Himself does with the unrepentant wicked in the Bible? I would advise that "by its fruits you shall know it." We now have a mass hysteria where public mobs of people appear to be possessed by some demonic egregore. At some point, the witch-burners must simply no longer be tolerated, regardless of what evil influence led them so horribly astray. Jesus wants us to love them, but not to suffer their evil.
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.
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.”
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. 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.”
How can you say Tritorch is spewing garbage? He’s making 100% accurate sense! You’re just feeding into the divide he’s talking about if you are still picking sides…
"It is, was, and will always be our job to keep the government in check. "
Yes, TriTorch, you are spot on correct. The government is a creation of the people, not vice versa. The created cannot exceed the authority of the creator and that is what has happened. The creator is now at the mercy of the created because the creator no longer recognizes his/her authority.
Can you or I take money from our neighbor and give it to someone else or spend it on what we want to spend it on? No. We go to jail. So tell me, why can government get away with it?
Can you or I steal someone's land and then sell it? No. We go to jail. So why can government get away with it?
Can you print all the paper money you want and insist that it is money and use that money to buy whatever you want? No. We go to jail if we do this. So tell me why government can do this?
Herein lies the problem. The created (government) has exceeded the authority of the creator (the people). If you or I cannot do certain things because it is illegal, then the government sure as shit cannot be doing it.
I wish more people understood this principle.
The human condition has been constant through the ages, a wealthy minority controlling a majority that want to take their wealth away from them. Even the middle class gives the majority a “legal” way of ascending the wealth ladder.
Government is created by the wealthy class to protect themselves from the stealing. Including the US Constitution.
You got it, Cankerpuss:
The following was originally written during the era of 9-11 boogeyman terrorism. For the purposes of modernization, please replace any mention of the word ‘terrorism’ with ‘bio-terrorism’ and any mention of the word ‘security’ with ‘bio-security’. None of this has ever been about safety, it has only ever been about control.
We no longer know the meaning of freedom. We have traded away everything to a false prophet. We refuse to see that belonging to a government is a fate far worse than any terrorist can reap; than any madman can sow.
The word of a terrorist has no power over us. The government's word is law.
In the name of security we will lose our security. In addition to the terrorist we will have the relentless uncompromising gaze of the government.
The power of the people is born from its freedom, and it is the people who must be the guardians of that power. It is from our freedom that we draw the authority to force our government to abide its boundaries. Through the guise of security we are slowly allowing our government to relinquish that authority, and ultimately, the government will know no boundaries.
Once we allow our freedoms to categorically run dry, we, as a people, will no longer have the authority to stand up to our government.

“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.
Actually, the fabric of society, its economy, was significantly changed by the Renaissance. Formation of cities and the guilds started up the middle class. The actions of the patrons were a small part.
He's a goof. Artists - real ones - are beyond the class system which pertain to the body and material goods. But of course wealth is needed for them to have the leisure to be allowed to do what they want to do. So Johnny Tremain is right in a round about way.
You were an artist with your 38 revolver. Al Capone with a tommy gun. John with his needles. Never forget Huey Long's ideal of every man a king.
"You were an artist with your 38 revolver."
Lugh,
For four years, I worked the mean streets. Four years in dark corners, forbidding venues. Four years with violence an almost every-shift occurrence...four years, and no one ever called me an "artiste"...but bust several heads with a flashlight, and they call you "violence prone", and racist.
You are witnessing the results of liberal socialism, control by the government. When folks lose their way to progress inside a society because of government control, they rebel until they cannot. Social disorder, crime, lassitude are all products of socialism.
"all products of socialism."
John,
I would suggest that BF Skinner had something to say about that. Wm. Shockley also.
Total nonsense. There are two totally opposing worldviews at war here and never shall they meet. The leftist victim class (takers) that don't believe in personal responsibility, they think that if their lot in life doesn't live up to their expectations it's someone else's fault, and that they are entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor to equalize things.
Then there are those that believe in personal responsibility... the makers. They realize if things don't go quite their way they have failed themselves, and get to work to make their world a better place.
I knew a woman who was proud of her work helping to create human like voices for computers. A small contribution to an immense work of evil.
As I have asked, is AI the Anti-Christ? Or is it the Beast? Jesus taught that God presents Himself to each human individually rather than as an organized group of “pious humans”, think Jewish or RCC. Seems to me that the degree of control of the individual that will be exerted by AI and the government is about as Anti-Christ as you can get.

I can't help but wonder if you've copied and pasted.
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 folks at Davos are the super rich you were just worshiping a few posts up. You're so confused.....
I have never praised DAVOS, ever. I do believe that the entrepeneuerial folks that drive economies, like Musk, are great things for a society. But not non-productive financial types, who never create anything that is not Fiat.
Yo are confused my friend by thinking that socialism of any sort is the proper way to run a society. You cast bullshit on the people by thinking that a group of illicit corrupted government people will run things better than themselves.
DAVOS is an European style international joke, I do not understand why Trump even acknowledges them with a visit.
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.
Yes, lucky to be slaves of such great masters! You are in love with your chains.
The people of Newport did not wear chains, fool. They were a group of people that went there to obtain employment, and got it. You totally missed the point of my post.
As usual.
The true divide: It’s not red and blue; rich and poor; black and white; city and rural. It is real and fake. It is individual and collective responsibility, accountability and experience. All the fake dividers are for obfuscation purposes.
There are good and bad systems. But only good people can make the good systems work and remain good - as well as humanizing even a bad system.
Again and again, your BS about central control. You have never presented a group of “good people”, and National Socialism is about the worst.
The overarching divide is good and evil. People that allow the good in make good systems.
The gremlins are good when small but devilish when big. Just so Capitalism. But it wants to grow and it does. Corporate Capitalism is the end stage, a monster.
So is it good or bad? Neither. Both.

"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.
Paper ballots, voter ID, and no mail-in ballots is the best we can do - not absolutely corruption-proof, but better than allowing the recent election status quo to go unchecked. No system is perfect - never has been and never will be.
I would much rather trust the fat old grey haired ladies in librarian glasses who volunteer to count paper ballots than these "voting machines" churned out in hell-hole countries like Venezuela. Sometimes the solution is to reject technology in favor of simplicity. It is clear in my mind. Since the advent of voting machines America's elections are nightmare. Get rid of them.
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?
That supposedly was a broken water main that just happened to flood the room where ballots were stored. IMO, it was more likely caused by some muumuu-wearing woman who weighs at least as much as two of me -- and bear in mind, I outweigh Jordan Davis of the Eagles -- when she waddled over and sat on a commode.
they admit now it wasn't a broken main, but a broken toilet. Only serious enough to get rid of the Republican observers before they continued their "work".
😂
I am all for a paper ballot system. We have one here in Oregon. It is by mail. It is not corrupted. In other states, it may be corrupted. I do not know. Here it works. However, the Presidential vote is never a binary choice as you presume The duopoly, TweedleDee and TweedleDum, R + D, and their wealthy corporate contributors, control all the major media. The bought off and paid-for and corporate-owned major media say there are only two candidates, one for each of the two duoplopy parties. Incorrect. The people get fooled, time after time after time. People listen to the news, and are busy, and do as they are told. And they vote for the duopoly, every four years. And the country continues to decline, every four years. This is true with every president, without fail, due to the duopoly. Mass media use our public airwaves for a pittance. Corporations give billions to election campaigns. Almost unlimited amounts of money to get what they want.. Corporate control of government is overwhelming. The Republic party and Democratic party are both in themselves corporations. But Americans are told, every four years, over and over, that a vote for someone outside the R + D duopoly is a wasted vote. Falsely. Over and over and over again. Part of this may be because propaganda was legalized against the American people in 2014 by President Barrack Obama. This was in a small section of the National Defense Authorization Act. Prior to 2014, propaganda against the American people had been illegal since 1948, when President Harry Truman declared it illegal after World War II.
So well said. You described America's insane political system to a "T".
I learned a long time ago that regardless of who is in power, the result is always the same. More war. More debt. More money printing. More taxes. Both parties yield the result, every fucking time.
I'm done with it.
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.
Who can forget the fake blonde, Bondi, and her team beaming while holding out the fake Epstein files? Her roots are dark, as dark as night.
I’m not sure what happened there. My sense is that she was tricked.
Someone in her position should be untrickable. She’s either semi-incompetent or a double agent from the dark side.
Trump seems to trust her. (I think his criticism has been kayfabe.)
The about face on Epstein by Trump, Bondi, Patel and Bongino tells me it’s far more sinister and all encompassing than can be imagined in the most feverish of nightmares. A handful of individuals cannot destroy evil of this nature. It requires the sacrifice of millions.
Maybe I'm wrong - maybe. But what do the FACTS and EVIDENCE say?
I've been following Trump since his infamous ride down the escalator. I stand on the historical evidence of Trump's actions, and lack thereof, since that day.
My position is firmly and soundly established. Trump has revealed himself to be a Master Deceiver, and far worse than just that.
Yeah, and where is DOGE today? Gone like a fart in the wind. Never hear anything about it. Sure, DOGE beat up USAID a little, but where is it today? Nowhere. Nothing but a shadowy figure lurking in the shadows.
"You’re about to see" That's all we ever hear. We never see anything.
Follow the money. Is it going to overseas aid of doubtful value or not? Time will tell so long as tough people like Mario, JD, and Miller are watching.
Doge is back. They'll be handling immigration fraud and the money trail. Two of the top DOGEs were brought into DHS two days ago to head a team and go into the weeds and pull them out by the roots
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.
Patience. Grand juries were empaneled in FL to look at the Big Crimes.
If that is a mirage and delivers nothing, we will know we were played. Mike Davis fro one has been touting this for months as the mechanism for true accountability.
"Patience"? Did you read the timeline that I presented? It's **10 YEARS* and counting!!
Now, maybe you're going to live to the ripe old age of 345 years, but us mere mortals don't have that much time. A promise stretched decades into the future is essentially a promised unfulfilled. Trump is a Master Liar, keeping the masses in endless expectation with lies mounted on lies mounted on lies - ad infinitum. And many swallow it!
I will be the first to admit I was wrong if your prediction comes true, but we’ve heard this tune so many times, it’s hard to remain optimistic.
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.
Has anyone heard an explanation of why the major networks all suddenly decided to cover a live Trump rally that day? Why NBC is alleged to have brought one of those ultra high frame per second cameras?
No. And we're not supposed to ask that question because it's inconvenient.
The explanation is exactly what you fear it is.
"the would-be assassin died" I think you mean the patsy, the rest of the people who planned it are all still around.
I mean the guy who was on the roof of a building the Secret Service said had a steep roof, the guy who had a rifle and shot Trump. If they'd used a military sniper, Trump would be dead and we'd be in Year Two of an actual Kosovo-style civil war. He may have been a patsy, but he also fired the tifle.
There were many shots and from more that one gun and one location. Chris Martensen Peak Prosperity on YT
no doubt he took he's the one to take the shot...and take the fall. There were a lot more people behind making it happen.
Jesus was just a myth, not a person, John.
The base is already tired of "Trump's violence". We don't have the stomach for what needs to be done. Unlike the demonic left. They rather watch the fake war of Football or Hockey rather than the real one that needs must be.
That's because some people think the country, as founded, can still be saved, while the Left sees the US has been dead for generations, since they ripped the place apart in the 1960s and '70s and failed in their attempt to remake the country. This time, when they tear it down, we'll be living in a dystopian shithole with face recognition, electronic surveillance of financial transactions, and nukes.
Yes, we learned nothing from Black slavery, bringing in another alien, hostile people to work, the Mexicans and allied Hispanics.
America was founded on Race and Religion, with an overwhelmingly powerful current of Capitalist greed hiding behind them. That was the opening for the you knows.
To remind you, the African slave trade to the New Worl started in earnest after Catjolic missionaries to Spanish and Portuguese colonies complained to the Vatican about the civil authorities forcing indigenous people to mine metals and gemstones without being inculcated with Catholic doctrine. The Vatican decreed that natives were not to be enslaved but taught the Gospel while remaining "free." However, since black Africans were seen to be irredeemable because Ham (their ancestor) had seen the naked groin of a drunken Noah, it was decided to send blacks to the New World as slaves. The vast majority of them ended up in Brazil and the Spanish-language colonies -- but of course we're constantly reminded that the only place slavery has ever occurred was in British North America and the United States. It's completely forgotten that there was no mechanism to free US slaves other than when owners let them go, as they were property and therefore had great value as long as they were tied to land, especially to bankers (see my comments here last week). Jefferson, for example, tried to free his slaves, but the Commonwealth of Virginia forbade manumission when slaveowners owed debts -- and Jefferson was nothing if not a spendthrift. And for their part, why would blacks imported to the US from Africa or the West Indies happily work for people who kept them enslaved? That many of their descendants hate America more than any external nation hates America is a testament to the horrors of slavery and the constant pick-pick-pick-pick of the American Left, trying to foment a revolution and the end of America. But sure, it's all the Jews' fault.
That’s a very accurate timeline complete with key bits of monologue. Brilliant and true.
Thanks. Unfortunately for all of us, it *is* true! I would have preferred the opposite.
This is where I am:
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
Right, and we've been "waiting" for *10 years* and counting. It's a criminal lie, and many continue to swallow it - hook, line and sinker. I stopped believing it in April 2017.
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.
EsssssssActo. Cien porcento claro. Just so.
That's the tragic reality that you and I and every other American must live with.
And of course the world, from Patagonia to Canada, and in the Middle East, and Ukraine and Russia, and Greenland.
Yes, of course. No one escapes 'El Trumpo'.
You’re noticing the pattern, but not what it really means. The claim that he’s gonna lock up Hillary was made for the same purpose as the claim that the election was stolen: they’re both false, and they’re both just meant to get/keep him in office. They’re just rallying cries, not meant to be taken as truth.
Why did Bongino leave after a year? Because he “realized” what he already knew: the FBI actually wasn’t what he pretended it was, because he was getting in trouble from his podcast audience for failing to prosecute crimes that didn’t happen, and because he can make a lot more money pretending again.
None of the fraudsters and election schemers were charged? Is it possible there’s just no case, and no evidence of the crime? No, the conspiracy just goes deeper than we thought! How many years will it take to realize that it’s just a bloviator bloviating?
>crimes that didn’t happen
You’re not going to enjoy 2026.
I’m not, you’re right about that. But it’s neither here nor there. Unless… you do have the courage to make an actual prediction? So make it:
Are we going to get an indictment this year?
Are we going to get a conviction this year?
Would you have made the same prediction in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2025? (I ask this one because I’ve seen your sort of unfounded confidence, on this exact issue, many times before… this is me giving you an out)
And if we don’t get an indictment or conviction this year, will you be any closer to admitting there’s nothing there?
I predict there will be multiple indictments/arrests before the midterms related to welfare fraud in Minnesota and elsewhere. There’s too much evidence the crimes are real and massive, and they are a perfect layup for Trump in many ways. He will take full advantage to win the midterms and cement his legacy with a series of actions that will be audacious, headline-grabbing, legally and ethically justified, politically popular, and utterly devastating to Democrats.
I did not make this prediction before. I was aware of Q in the early days but not convinced. My theory is independently derived, based on what I know or can deduce about Trump and his advisors.
If there are no indictments/arrests and Democrats win the midterms, my theory will be disproven. I’m 99.99% certain, though. I’ve looked for contrary evidence, but I don’t see any. I have also tried to imagine how Democrats could win the upcoming battle, and I don’t see any way they can.
I also believe that if I can figure this out, so can the DNC. I believe they know they’re screwed.
I love your optimism, Papaya. I don't believe anything will happen.
I hope I am wrong. I welcome being proven wrong but I've gotten too used to "waiting until next year."
… haha what? There already HAVE been welfare fraud convictions in Minnesota!
Literally dozens:

This comment was about specific claims regarding election fraud, see the original comment. Do you care to make a prediction about something that hasn’t already happened? It does tend to be a bit harder.
I mean more cases, and which connect to local and state Democrats. Yes, election fraud is connected. I expect that to hit the headlines before November, too.
Believe me, I've seen much of "what it really means" - more than you may know.
If that’s true, why is he on the attack? No, I believe he was deployed to win back the blogosphere, foolishly believing his pre-FBI gig popularity would remain steady and increase.
His grand face plant will live as proof of how very disconnected from reality this administration is.
I get the impression that early on, Trump placed his bets on Bondi - rejecting the very sane advice of Gabbard. Not sure why though I have a strong hunch.
Why is Bongino on the attack?
Bongino believes that the FBI is full of deep state creeps that undermine the President at every turn, right? And that these people need to be fired or at least suppressed, right? This is certainly Trump’s position.
Are you genuinely contending that the best way for Bongino to help solve this problem is to leave his position as the Deputy Director of the FBI, with all of its broad hiring, firing, and reorganization authority over the entire organization… and go back to making podcasts?
The one thing of substance he did, the only real police work he even participated in, was to investigate and haul in that wannabe terrorist who planted the bombs in D.C. What thanks did he get from his audience? They got angry at him for not arresting the “FBI deep state ringleaders who really did the crime”, because that’s who Bongino said was responsible!
And when he was confronted about this on Hannity he said, and I quote:
"I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions. That's clear. And one day I will be back in that space, but that's not what I'm paid for now. I'm paid to be your deputy director, and we base investigations on facts."
How much closer could he get to admitting he was lying, and that he’ll go back to lying when the time comes? Of course, any FBI agent, any journalist, any commentator should “base investigations on facts”. This is what a grifter looks like.
"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...
" "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.
Really? And what are your .22 and AR-15s going to do against an army of well armed and prepped shock troopers?
"Arm up. Your neighbors will want your food."
Are you seriously going to shoot your neighbors who are hungry and only want something to eat? Would you really turn away that hungry child while you sit behind your guns and stuff food in your gob?
We should be looking to help our neighbors, not looking to shoot them dead because they are hungry.
I always demure at advice of this kind. Would I really shoot the single-mother next door who comes calling for some food for she and her children? Why doesn't she have food storage? Maybe she couldn't afford it? Who knows.
I would rather be shot dead and have someone steal my food storage than shoot someone because I was unwilling to share with them. Which one would God judge more harshly?
Gees Canker. You make alot of assumptions. The context is NOT today’s relative peace and tranquility in our society. The context is total chaos and lawlessness. Those with means will have set aside portions of their abundance to give. But there is a limit. When that portion is exhausted then, no. Depriving one’s own to give until its all gone is suicide. Nope. Not going to be a martyr to any immigrants cause.
Yup, we lose. The foe just needs to run out the clock. Justice delayed is justice denied. Slow means no.
If you had infinite time, an infinite number of monkeys could bang out Shakespeare. But no universe has infinite time or monkeys. It's just a way of avoiding acknowledging God.
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.
I caught that as well.
What was anti-Semitic?
Reread the first sentence.
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!
Or, they may start with good intentions, but once they get back to the cesspool they have to become corrupted to do anything.
Thank you for your service. What's the chapter and verse? They speak of peace when there is no peace. Now is the time for war. Are we going to blow it this time too?
Wow! Stunning post, Tritorch. Probably the best I have read in a long time.
Whoa. Spot on.
Tribes exist. And a nation is by definition one people comprised of one tribe or a confederation of similar tribes.
We've let in countless alien tribes. There is no American people anymore. Thus all your thoughts are in vain until you add this to your calculations. You left this out. Thus how smart can you be? Not as smart as you think, right?
We've been invaded by a multi-million man army without a shot being fired. Yet America's military and the honored "troops" are in foreign nations protecting "democracy." They should be stationed right here on the US borders, shooting anyone who walks across. They should be finding all those who did walk across and administering harsh punishments before sending them back to their native lands. They should be here protecting us from the true enemy. Not in Japan, Korea, Germany, Yemen, Syria, Djibouti and all the other nations they are currently located in. America's troops aren't protecting us from diddly poo. Bring them home and let them start truly protecting America.
Elite Scottish regiments were fighting in Crimea when their people back home were forced off their land in favor of sheep by their largely English landlords.
We’ve? I don’t recall letting in any alien tribes. You better stop doing that Lugh!
Just joking, agree to disagree on this subject. Salvaging a future is what i am interested in, and the fight for a better tomorrow is never truely lost until it is given up.
Never give up, never surrender! Else:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” —Reagan
Yes, Reagan began the process of our destruction by legalizing a couple of million illegals.
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.
Sez who? Do you live there?
I know a Venezuelan couple and hear it straight from their mouths a couple days after they caught Maduro.
Funniest part I thought they were Mexicans till this all happened.
They had the money to flee but have relatives that still "live" there.
Almost exactly what Cubans in Florida would tell anyone that would listen to them about Castro and Cuba in the late 80's early 90's.
Funny, there is a large community of Venezuelans right here in my little state of Utah. They show up at the capitol waving their Venezuelan flags to protest this or that injustice committed against them by the very country they are attempting to suck dry. They aren't Americans. They have no desire to be Americans. They still consider themselves Venezuelans. So, send them back to Venezuela.
Fine, then the couple you know should take care of getting rid of him. Trump promised "no more wars" and "no more regime changes" because they do so much damage. You may worship the Lindsey Graham RINO globalist ideas but Trump promised the opposite which is what I voted for him to do. Tell your Venezuelan friends good luck . Trump left the Maduro regime in place.
Kent, understand your point in principle but Maduro didn’t deserve to keep his Job.
Of the following who "deserved" to keep their job, or have a random South American country kidnap or assassinate them because they didn't deserve to be there?
Bill Clinton
George W. Bush
Barack Obama
Donald Trump 1
Joe Biden
Donald Trump 2
Barry & FJB
The US has no authority to decide what foreign leaders stay and go. But we do it routinely as we did with both Assad in Syria and Khadaffi in Libya and Saddam in Iraq and at least 80 years of Iranian leaders. We fucked up every one of these. So, let's try to get a decent leader in our own country, which we obviously fucked up recently as well. And I helped with that.
Maduro will roll over to save himself.
Would Trump roll over to save himself for all the huge campaign promises he broke, like ending all wars and making public all the Epstein files and draining the swamp? Where does this massive arrogance come from that the US is some pure virgin and can judge the worthiness of all the rest of the world and kill and kidnap those it doesn't find worthy? (the most unworthy were of course installed by the US CIA)
TDS is a terrible thing poisons the mind and rots the ability to think right on out of what is left.
That was probably the hope.
So true. Money and the acquisition of it, is what motivates most men.
Now that is something that we should see. We never will. They hold all the cards and all the power. We are boned.
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.
I hope I'm wrong too.
Yes, there is only do or don't do. There can be no try. The Cult must not be allowed back in office.
The Peruvian military had a 15 minute trial for Che and then he was thrown back to God. Maybe he found mercy there - there can be no mercy for such as he here. What was there to talk about? What reason for delay except weakness or corruption?
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.
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.
Wrong, we need Greenland as European interests no longer match ours.
Trump is trying to create a geopolitical and economic bloc in the western hemisphere. Where will you be when that happens and Europe splits away from us?
Russia and China areright now exploiting the Arctic way ahead of us. Obtaining Greenland as a protectorate would close the margin.
iMHO, more important than AI.
And we can't let Israel take Antarctica either. Their interests do not align with ours.
You are awesome. MFM, you gotta love it! +100
'So, tell me cowboy, what do you do?'
'I'm a middle finger manager, mam.'
'That sounds interesting, tell me about it.'
'Well, it's an unapologetic form of expression, for people and things I'm not too fond of.'
'Hmm, I must be a middle finger manager too.'
Swoon.
Heh, well said.
You obviously have not seen Trump’s speeches to the UN, and at a previous Davos gathering, where he’s been a total Ricky Gervais at the Oscars. Some of his best speeches!
And just like Ricky Gervais, it's all just a show.
It was a very entertaining show a few years ago, but it's getting old now.
Are we still waiting for him to lock her up? What a joke!
Have patience and faith. None more than I wanted Hillary in prison…so a massive disappointment. Now, have you not observed the continuous lawfare and Executive Orders in which Trump was involved? And in one year it is miraculous how much he accomplished. Life goes on…and grand juries are at work. Trust.
Trust the Q plan?
I'll believe it when I see hangings and heads rolling.
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.
So, you don’t accept the facts of two grand juries being assembled in Florida? It won’t be the GOP or Trump’s followers who revolt! Trust me, and let’s have a bit of faith, hope, and wisdom to guide us through these next months.
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.
No to Trey Gowdy! We need judge Jeanine!
Nah, Trey was all talk. I don't know about now but a younger Rudy might have been good.
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?
Six feet under.
Nope on the Gowdy selection
I remember Larry Fink saying sometimes behavior must be forced. What an appropriate name he has. 🤮
Larry Fink is a Fink.
Fink? More like scumbag.
I've always said, 'appropriately named' - If it is real, God has a sense of humor.
Orwellian BlackRock CEO Larry Fink: We Are Forcing Behaviors To Change, How? By OWNING Everything!: https://old.bitchute.com/video/ei6QD8ZPl6DU [45:35mins]
They do this through the 401K system, using the votes of the American investor to "force behaviors". There's a black van on State street... Also:

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."
Absolute power doesn't relent, it just changes places.
Absolute power strive to be:
Absolute.
The empaneling of grand juries in Florida to go after the Demoncrap criminals is good news, as too many do not appreciate the amount of time and work that has to go into investigations and gathering of evidence before indictments are issued. Of course, no such impediments exist for Demoncrap AG's or their lawfare toadies, who file actions based simply on their political motives without a scintilla of proof. But that is what you expect from a totally corrupt and venal political system that is trying hard to copy that of Cuba or Venezuela. We can only hope that the crime of treason is once again enforced as treason, and sedition, have been omnipresent in the Demoncrap Party and its adherents to their extreme leftist, nee communist, ideology.
The Kraken breaches (not breeches)
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.
Bullshit. The Bankers are just the people who did pursue their ambitions and continue to do so. That's most people's ambition.
Do you think that maybe, must maybe, Capitalism and Nationalism don't go together? Ditto Christianity? You know, "Love of money is the root of all evil"? Think about it.
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.
Unimpeded. That's how it becomes Stakeholder Capitalism.
Why is this so difficult for people? They'd get it if they saw it in their every day lives. Their minds can't deal with the scale, it would seem.
John. WEF “Stakeholder Capitalism” is the endpoint for 2030.
Herr Voelz gets it.
Okay, capitalism is the market running the economy, not the government.
So in pure capitalism, companies and corporations are in direct competition and in a healthy economy, when a more nimble underclass of companies put older decrepit companies out of business, that is a good thing. In life, there are winners and losers. That is the problem when government tries to regulate the economy with taxes and gimme programs. The economy should be taking care of the losers with new opportunity with new companies opening all the time. Welfare is the death of pure capitalism.
BTW, Lugh is correct here. Government interference with capitalism and the resultant socialistic bailing out is what caused the approach of communism.
The big thought is that government just makes the situation worse.
No. Government "interference" (guidance) is the only thing that can save Capitalism since these pricks won't restrain themselves.
Capitalism is a mind virus just like Communism or Feminism. You can't reason with these fuckers.
John. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes. Got it. Today however the persuit of CONTROL is the goal. Control of the human race is uppermost. Monopolistic structures are overtaking all other forms of production and distribution of INFORMATION. The UN Agenda 2030 Sustainability Goals are where all nations are heading. Europe is dead meat and we are under attack here. For Islam we are all Kafirs and deserve death. Doesn’t matter going forward what capitalism does or doesn’t do or how it is defined. Human obedience to a diabolical script is playing out. And the US government is part of that script. Has been for 250 years.
Yes, I saw an opinion piece that asked a crowd who they thought would run the show, be the super power in the future. China, the USA, Israel, Russia all were mentioned. Then the prediction was made by the emcee that the future would belong to a consortium of folks that control the internet. The logic was superb.
It will be interesting how our WEF puppet, Mark Carney, reacts when Trump confronts him with an ultimatum: either get your own house in order or we'll do it for you. Deport all the bad actors your party has let in through open borders that pose a threat to American national security, end the money-laundering operation that funnels billions of dollars from terrorists and drug dealers through Canadian banks, and crack down on the Islamists who are using your country to spread jihad. Mr Trumo can tell Carney to STFU and keep his nose out of Greenland.
Canada is the next Ukraine.
I am hearing this more and more as the days go on.
