Presidential elections are planned distractions
To divert attention from the action behind the scenes
Like a game of chess when the house is a mess
Or a petty money squabble when your marriage is in trouble
Or a football game when there’s rioting in the streets
It’s just another movie, another song and dance
Another poor sucker who never had a chance

Before the big game there’s a coin toss and by the luck of the draw, decisions are made even before the teams take the field. It is the same for politics with, perhaps, the exception of luck having anything to do with the outcomes. Regardless, the games play on our screens and we passively watch; anxiously waiting to see what happens.
It’s an all-or-nothing blitz to score big and winners take all. In the interim, there are the commercial breaks revealing ads refined by the fires of focus groups and in boardrooms.
Edward Bernays, the influential pioneer of public relations and the nephew of iconic psychologist Sigmund Freud, wrote in his 1928 book “Propaganda” (page 37) regarding an “unseen mechanism of society” that constituted “an invisible government” that was, assuredly, “the true ruling power of our country”. Bernays added: “We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”
Bernays was quite proud of his uncle’s work and he accepted Freud’s foundational premises towards the use of emotional manipulation of the masses through advertising. It was Bernays, in fact, who changed the term “propaganda” to “public relations”.
But it was the Canadian intellectual and author Herbert Marshall McLuhan who coined the phrase “the medium is the message”. In his 1964 book “Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man”, he wrote:
…the form of a medium embeds itself in any message it would transmit or convey, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.
Marshall McLuhan was a fascinating person. In addition to identifying media massaging, he also coined the term “global village” in his 1961 book “The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man”. Therein, he described four epochs of history: Oral tribe culture, manuscript culture, Gutenberg galaxy and the electronic age. Furthermore, in that book, McLuhan is said to have predicted the World Wide Web decades before it came into being as we understand it today. In 1962, he even coined the term “surfing” as referring to “rapid, irregular and multidirectional movement through a heterogeneous body of documents or knowledge” using computers. He said:
The next medium, whatever it is — it may be the extension of consciousness — will include television as its content, not as its environment, and will transform television into an art form.
-Marshall McLuhan, ‘The Invisible Environment: The Future of an Erosion.’ Perspecta, Vol. 11 (1967) pp. 162–167. Published by the MIT Press.
A computer as a research and communication instrument could enhance retrieval, obsolesce mass library organization, retrieve the individual’s encyclopedic function and flip into a private line to speedily tailored data of a saleable kind.
-A dialogue between Marshall McLuhan and Bruce Powers called “Angels to Robots: From Euclidean Space to Einsteinian Space,” in ‘The Global Village’ by Marshall McLuhan and Bruce Powers, 1989.
In his bestselling 1967 book, “The Medium Is the Massage”, McLuhan utilized the term “massage” to: “denote the effect each medium has on the human sensorium” and therein he reinforced his earlier claims of media as “extensions of our human senses, bodies and minds.”
Disturbingly, McLuhan believed modern electronic media would wipe away society’s “traditional values, attitudes and institutions” and said twenty-three years ago in an interview with Wired magazine, the following:
Postindustrial man has a network identity, or a net-ID. The role is now a temporary shift of state produced by a combination of environmental factors, like in a neural network. This possibility has always been latent in the concept of role, but in the machine age this was perceived as a danger, while today it is simply a game – we no longer see shifting roles as dangerous and taboo and therefore theatrically compelling. Rather, we follow these shifts as if we were doing a puzzle or kibitzing a chess game. Yes, the medium is the message, but this does not mean and never meant that the content of the medium is a conscious reflection on itself. The medium is the message because it creates the audience most suited to it. Electronic media create an audience whose shifting moods are as impersonal as the weather.
– Wolf, Gary. (1996, Jan 1) Channeling McLuhan. Wired Magazine [Online]. Available: https://www.wired.com/1996/01/channeling/.
By means of our devices we are plugged into a grand neural grid defined by what we think we see. As revealed by Bernays and acknowledged by McLuhan: The Messengers utilize interactive media platforms like hypnotists very subtly conveying their commands and suggestions to an oblivious public. The spin masters massage their messages like opiates onto the hive mind. The importations are delivered as propaganda not to inform the public per se, but rather to suggest that which is meant to be reinforced or believed; even unto the bifurcation of a single narrative; like two teams playing one football game; or the two-sided spinning blur of the same coin.
Advertising radiates throughout the entire Matrix, as the contagious hum of a jingle, from one mind to the next. Media, in all of its various forms, provides the context that coheres realism to dreams. It is how virtual became the New Reality.
The messaging wars were not meant to be won. They were meant to be continuous.
One wonders if National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower, Edward Snowden, was indeed part of the Matrix given his visibility on the grid. Perhaps he was meant to reveal the surveillance state and without him, there would have been no interactive consent.
Metal chains or velvet handcuffs, what’s the difference?
To the sounds of mouse-clicks, once free people have “accepted” the “terms” of their surrender and have forfeited their liberty in the name of convenience. Like buzzing insects, the citizens of modern societies are caught in silicon honey traps mortgaged with plastic and electronically powered via USB cable nooses wrapped tightly around their collective throats.
The Technocratic Powers That Be wield weapons far more powerful than any time prior in history and soon, people will wake up to realize the electronic buzzing sound ringing in their ears was not emanating from their own wings, but rather, it was merely the sound of drones over their heads.
Additionally, what if the polemics of Trump versus Hillary, the #MeToo movement’s men against women, Intersectionality and White Privilege, Trump against Mueller, Trump versus Pelosi and Schumer, Kavanaugh against the mob, guns against children, Russia against free elections, Deplorables versus the Deep State, globalism versus nationalism – all of these – every last conflict – were all subplots of one extended reality TV show? Like watching a football game when the roof is on fire. Or a soap opera at the end of things, entitled “As the World Burns”; and prior to next week’s introduction of a New Phoenix soon to rise from the ashes.
In so many ways, Trump is the perfect foil to usher in a new epoch; as the perceived darkness before the age of rainbows and unicorns. Or, at least a forerunner of sorts before another ringleader takes center stage.
To be sure, President Trump is like a flip-sided Obama the way he’s branded upon America’s psyche. And, like Obama, he’s a walking, talking, Rorschach test.
For good? Or bad?
Either way: We all have our suspicions and are becoming more certain with each passing day.
In the below video clip from the 1999 film “The Matrix”, the story’s protagonist, Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, is distracted by a computer simulation of a woman in a red dress as these words are spoken by Laurence Fishburne’s character, Morpheus:
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
Are you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
In our version of the Matrix, however, what if the diversion was the man with orange hair?
Certainly, United States President, Donald J. Trump, is either:
- Real
- Real clueless
- Or the Matrix’s woman in the red dress
In point of fact, if anyone were 100% honest, they would admit they couldn’t realize any of those options with 100% certainty at this time. Because it’s difficult to see the Matrix when you’re in the Matrix. Yet, like Neo in the movie, and as stated heretofore: We all have our suspicions and are becoming more certain with each passing day.
It is very likely, notwithstanding the uncertainty, odds-makers would lower their percentages on the second option. After all, the famous underworld attorney, Roy Cohn, in a 1984 interview declared Trump to be the closest thing to a genius he had ever met in his life. And, thirty-two years after that statement by Cohn, Trump became President of the United States while being outspent two to one, against a rabidly hostile media, in opposition to colluding officials in the United States’ FBI, DoJ, and State Department; plus, with zero support from all Democrats and a significant percentage of Republicans.
Even so, it was a close election determined by a few thousand votes in key states which resulted in an Electoral College victory against one of the most corrupt, despicable, and unlikable candidates in U.S. history. It almost seemed as if Hillary was meant to be Trump’s foil in the same way McCain and Romney were Obama’s. So close. Or, rather, the margins consistently appeared close enough for purposes of credibility.
In retrospect, it all does have a reality TV feel, does it not?
The games play out on our screens: the drama, offense, defense, and play by plays interpreted and relayed by various announcers on disparate channels; and, as asserted by the previously mentioned Marshall McLuhan: Electronic media creating an audience whose shifting moods are as impersonal as the weather.
Of course many reading this, if not a majority, will NOT appreciate President Trump’s motives being questioned in the least; and perhaps they are right to still trust the man. Nevertheless, there does remain the possibility the reach and power of the Matrix has been vastly underestimated.
Or, it could be the obtuseness of the American Body Politic is what’s been greatly underrated and Trump is heroically fighting his best against great odds.
SIDE ONE: Trump the Embattled Warrior: Art of the Deal and 4-D Chess
Those sympathetic to Trump, see a hero saving the nation, if not the world, one tweet at a time. He says exactly what so many of his supporters are thinking and the apoplectic convulsions of his political opponents are fun to watch. In fact, Trump always seems to know where to psychologically stab the knife to draw the maximum amount of pain and blood from those who hate him.
In so many ways Trump triggers his enemies to the point their primary defense is to simply label him a fool, a liar, or both; including the husband of one of the president’s closest advisors, Kellyanne Conway:
But is it real or reality TV? Is it perception or deception?
In any event, Trump’s strategery definitely transcends Twitter as demonstrated by his remarkable 289 accomplishments in only the first twenty months of his presidency; and in spite of the media’s reporting on the “second-worst start to any newly elected administration in modern political history”.
Currently, at the time of this writing, Trump has been taking much heat and negativity from those on the conservative side of the aisle as well. In the aftermath of the recent immigration gridlock, government shutdown, and Trump’s reopening of the U.S. government without his requested $5.7 billion for his border wall – political commentator and author, Ann Coulter, claimed “the president had broken the promise he made every day for 18 months”.
Is that actually the case? Take, for example, this ongoing plot’s twist and turns:
On December 11, 2018 Trump hosted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and (soon-to-be-reinstated) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Oval Office. There, the president apparently surprised them both by allowing the press to video-record the meeting. During the discussion, the Democratic dynamic duo appeared uncomfortable and with Pelosi actually stating the following:
We’re here to have a conversation. I don’t think we should have a debate in front of the press.
The reason Nancy didn’t want the American public to see that exchange was precisely because of what happened next: It was reported accurately (via the video) on all news outlets and firmly placed Trump out in front on the issue of illegal immigration; and in manner that could never be spun otherwise before the American public. Moreover, the president made it very clear he was taking responsibility for shutting down the government over what he designated as “border security”.
Stated another way, that episode’s summary would have been:
Pursuant to the prohibition of southern invaders, it was Trump’s way or the highway. He would build that wall.
Towards that end, over the next several weeks, Trump casually dropped little hints of possible concessions to be made should the Democrats come to the negotiation table. This culminated on Saturday, January 19, 2019 when the president announced his BRIDGE Act which included two offers to the Democrats in exchange for the $5.7 billion in funds for a border wall. First, he proposed an extension of DACA protections for Dreamers, who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, and, secondly, he offered to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status holders.
A few days after that, Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, floated the idea of green cards to the 700,000 current DACA recipients.
But nothing worked and the impasse made the Democrats appear as the obstructionists in the stalemate; at least according to many common-sense American viewers. This, even though an Associated Press, NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll showed the majority of the country blamed the shutdown on Trump.
Around the same time, House Speaker Pelosi sent Trump a letter stating that she would not consider a resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union (SOTU) in the House Chamber until the government had re-opened. In the letter, Pelosi specifically cited concerns regarding security amidst the shutdown. In response, Trump postponed the Speaker’s scheduled trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan, and then accepted Pelosi’s invitation after overcoming her security concerns for the SOTU.
By the time Nancy wrote another letter denying the U.S. President the U.S. House Chambers once again, she appeared even more the persistent obstructionist. Next, the ever-displaced and inconvenienced Trump shopped around for another venue before, finally, acting as the only adult in the room by reopening government for three weeks.
Only three weeks.
An argument could be made that Trump consistently stayed out in front on every reality TV maneuvering during the entire border wall standoff. It is also a lesser known fact that, in advertising and business, the law of primacy states being first is all that matters. It is, in fact, what winners do. It’s called leading.
Accordingly, during any shrewd deal-making, the way to win the negotiations is by demonstrating the willingness to walk away first. The old game was stalled, so Trump started a new one. Or, rather, a new series of episodes whereupon the president could bang the Democrats like bongos for twenty-one more days. Right up to the point he gets his wall anyway, because he’s already made it known: He will move forward on the wall at the end of three weeks and the only question is whether the Dems “want something or nothing”.
Nonetheless, when Trump unilaterally moves to build the wall in response to the “national security crisis” on our southern border, a black-robed antagonist (or protagonist depending upon the TV viewer’s perspective) will stop Trump in his tracks; just like the prior so-called “Muslim Ban”.
The show goes on. As it always has.
In the meantime, be sure to tune in this Tuesday for the 2019 State of the Union Address; coming soon to a screen near you. Check your TV guide for local listings.
SIDE TWO: Trump’s Big Game & the Psyoptic Woman in the Red Dress
Of course, there is another face to President Donald Trump; the other side on the same coin.
After winning the 2016 toss, why didn’t the president and his team build the wall as they took the field in control of all three branches of U.S Government? Perhaps it was a lack of cohesiveness with offensive coordinator, then Speaker Paul Ryan, at the helm coaching the RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) and Never-Trumpers alike. Or perhaps Trump was thinking he might actually improve his odds by scoring the House in the 2018 Midterms. Or, even in the event of overwhelming catastrophic game losses, the president still believed he could utilize border insecurity to hammer his opponents offensively, all the way into the end-zone for a 2020 victory.
Or was it because the ratings favor competitive games all season?
Remember, Trump did reveal, in a presidential debate no less, he would instruct his attorney general to oversee a special investigation into the crimes of Hillary Clinton. But then, just days after the big game’s win, Trump said the following regarding Bill and Hillary Clinton:
I don’t want to hurt them, I don’t want to hurt them. They’re, they’re good people. I don’t want to hurt them.
Good people? No. It was a quarterback sneak.
Furthermore, in spite of his promise to drain the swamp, Trump has, instead, recruited cadres of elite bankers and Deep State draftees into his lineup, he has greatly expanded America’s debt, and even bombed Syria twice in response to obvious false flags. Around the world, most recently in the nation Venezuela, Trump’s inner imperialist emerges at exactly the right, or wrong, times; depending upon the perspective of the viewers.
The United States President has refused to authorize the release of the Russia Investigation’s FISA applications, FBI 302 forms, and 1023 counterintelligence documentation; even when doing so prior to the 2018 Midterm elections might have helped him with independent voters enough to retain his party’s control of the U.S. House.
And why did Trump correctly identify stock market bubbles before he was elected, only to later take credit for stock market highs after his election? Won’t that now make him culpable in the eyes of the American public when the bankers crash the economy?
Why would he do that? As a former reality TV star, surely he knows optics are everything, right?
All of which raises legitimate questions as to whether these mistakes and missteps were scripted after all and, quite possibly, preordained by a secret playbook; because, honestly, over the past two years, all of the snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory now seems too perfect for reality. It is, in fact, exactly how it looks when one throws a game.
So close. But was it real? Or reality TV?
Perhaps we were all played like suckers who never stood a chance and will soon hear: “You’re fired!”
Nonetheless, the clues are there for those who carefully watch the replays. For example, during the government shutdown fracas, the following was revealed in an article dated January 8, 2019:
Ahead of the one year anniversary of the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Thursday re-introduced the ‘Extreme Risk Protection Order and Violence Prevention Act,’ commonly referred to as ‘red flag laws.’
The red flag laws, even supported by the NRA in the wake of the Parkland shooting, would grant Trump’s prior expressed desire to “take the guns first and go through due process second”. All that’s required is for anyone to claim to see something in order to say something so law-abiding Americans can have their due process erased faster than Trump’s attorney client privilege.
Think it couldn’t happen? Think again. Trump’s attorney general nominee, William Barr, during his senate confirmation hearings in mid-January 2019, stated his own desire regarding the red flag laws as “the single most important thing we could do in the gun control area”. Barr’s statement actually made Democrat Dianne Feinstein very excited. In response, she said quite flirtatiously:
Well, thank you, I would like to work with you in that regard.
What an amazing act of reaching across the aisle. Rarely have we seen such cooperation occurring in Washington DC.
Who knew?
But our screens only show extended replays of the antagonistic political clashes. Over and over; again and again.
This, coincidently, allows precious time for the Matrix’s Agent Smiths, the neighborhood Stasi, and willing associates, to huddle together on the sidelines and finalize their next plays.
CONCLUSION: Fair Play or One Coin to Rule Them All
At the end of everything, it really does distill down to fair play against rigged rules of the game: to natural rights versus tyranny; the individual’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness enforced by means of an equitable and just legal code – or mandated utopia by way of corporate collectivists and their piecemealed totalitarianism.
Although President Trump provides the appearance of advocating for the former options, there remains the possibility he was hired as a means to deliver the latter alternatives.
Trump’s “Make America Great Again” only appears antithetical to Obama’s “Hope and Change” when, in fact, they were slogans for different products sold by the same company. They are two faces on the same coin and both spokesmen fundamentally changed America by the luck of the toss. Obama was the gift to Snowflakes and Trump a bestowal unto Deplorables.
And everyone loves a good tagline, don’t they.
In for a penny
In for a pound
All the corruption goes ’round and ’round
Spinning on air until it lands. And no one knows that it was planned.
Every president measures good and bad and to varying degrees. All of them make mistakes. But in the end, there is no such thing as luck in politics. All of our leaders are imprints on the same coin twisting on the air; as the plebs plan outdoor weddings and pray for dry weather as the gardeners across the street pray for rain.
Time waits on no one yet our luminous screens are always on; radiating our sight with light and shades and color.
One episode after another. One game before the next.
President Trump’s former aid and advisor, Roger Stone, was arrested on January 25, 2019 in an FBI pre-dawn raid for a process crime in an illegal special counsel investigation. On that very same day, the president re-opened the government with no border funds allocated for his wall.
Is the embattled Trump surrounded and waving a white flag?
Or is he virtuoso on the field playing his opponents like violins, and with the very strings from which they will soon hang?
Or is he an orange-haired pied-piper using Tweets and headlines and sound bites as flute music to simultaneously soothe and rile a nation of lemmings marching towards the cliff?
Is Trump the Matrix’s lady in the red dress?
Either way, in all the scenes now playing upon our screens, President Donald J. Trump remains the most interesting man in the world. He doesn’t always build walls, but when he does, the Mexicans will pay for them.
He’s a man of the moment; not the first, and he won’t be the last.
In the meantime, hundreds of millions of people worldwide will watch the Superbowl. The year 2019 will be remembered as the year the Patriots battled against the Rams. But, by the very next day, it won’t matter; because the real game isn’t the football. Nor does it consist of corporation’s competing for the most creative television advertisements. No. The real conflict remains between genuine patriots and inconspicuous horned beasts from on high; between free men against a secretive multinational financial elite ramming globalism down the throats of sovereign nations.
Heads they win. Tails we lose. It’s a flip of the coin. America First? Or, a New World Order?
Stay tuned and don’t touch that dial. We’ll be right back after these messages from our sponsors.
As in the movie, we do not have the ability to understand or predict what’s in the future for those living in the matrix, because we are inside the system and oblivious to who is doing the programming. Our only way is for someone outside the matrix, Trinity, to offer us the red or blue pill.
I think to try to figure out which side of the coin Trump’s visage sits on is a sure way to go insane; I believe it was created that way, so that our only option is to wait.
This may be the only clue to what will be our future, as remaining dormant is exactly what TPTB would want; just look at how Brexit is shaping up for the Brits, after their voting to exit years ago.
BUT, a people cannot be held in suspended animation forever, as the yellow vests in France are exhibiting, a people can only be pushed so far before they act. I only wonder what will the American peoples breaking point be?
Sure,
I think the simple answer to your breaking point question is when they seriously try to disarm us.
@ Not Sure & Ntro:
RE: “Breaking point” = “lined crossed”
Over on Brandon Smith’s “Martial Law” post here on TBP, Grace Country Paster, in his comment there, phrased it thusly:
There it is in five sentences, right there. And be assured the battle will not be fought against entrenched nineteenth-century Yanks and Rebs bearing swords and muzzleloaders, or red-coats from across the sea.
GilbertS also questioned later in the same “Smith/Martial Law” thread, how a lockdown could occur in a nation “with a population of 311,000,000+ scattered over 3.5 million square miles” . My best guess would be via a network of chokepoints and Wac-A-Mole. Air superiority can be a bitch. Best to plan accordingly, no?
Thank you.
Now I’m just goofin… cause you started it.
Ultimately people will have to decide whether they are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice and put their lives on the line in the fight for freedom. Sadly, that is where we are headed. Throughout history, freedom has always come with a very high cost.
Cory Booker has announced his run. A sissy chimpanzee from NJ as the leader of the so-called free world.
See the men paint their faces and cry
Like some girl, it makes you wonder why
City life sure is cool, but it cuts like a knife
It’s your life
I think Camden, NJ stands out as a beacon of his works. Or was it Newark? Trenton?
http://www.usa.com/newark-nj-crime-and-crime-rate.htm
Great stuff for a Yale, Stanford and Oxford chap.
Know ye them by their fruits.
The Newark riots preceded the Detroit riots by a week and no doubt encouraged and ensured them.
Newark. He was mayor. He was for school choice way back then. Now
he’s Spartacus… Fucking screaming homo colored boy in a Toga.
You’ve given us a great deal to digest but as I was reading I started to wonder about the parts guys like Bernays and McLuhan missed. Despite all of the years, the technology, the psychological studies, the never ending torrents of propaganda- excuse me, public relations- government diktats, social conditioning and opprobrium why are there still people like us? We spend far more time swimming in their oceans of lies and shallow platitudes than the next fifty people on the street and yet we aren’t taken in. In fact, the opposite has happened.
Did any of them mention that possibility? Are we carrying some sort of antibody, an immunity? Or is it something else? And what does that say about their so-called power? If they control virtually every lever of power, infest every institution and organization, control the political and economic institutions, steer public perceptions with unlimited time and budgets what does that say about it’s efficacy?
Another thoughtful and well reasoned essay.
Hardscrabble asks:
I believe it’s both and that there is a power beyond worldly power. Call it awareness, truth, spirituality, or even integrity; it has many names and it could be all of them at once.
The author and philosopher Ayn Rand defined “integrity” as the ability to stand by an idea. She, furthermore, claimed that integrity actually presupposed thought.
I also believe technology is like fire: It can warm and it can burn. It can propagate bullshit as well as truth and ideas are what move the world; for better or worse.
We gather here at this Burning Platform, and are warmed by conversations regarding truth and discernment. Yet, at the same time, these same screens are plugged into the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the ladies on The View.
This piece was about money, power, deception, and choice. As for me, I’ve made my choice, even unto death, and the rest is about maintaining clarity.
Also, I meant to provide additional attribution for this piece and inadvertently neglected to do so. This is one I could not have written without the input and perspectives from the commenters here on TBP; and, in particular, those who commented on my last “State of The Union” essay.
It was on the thread of that piece where this one came together, so I wanted to thank you all once again. Your inspirations and clarifications have kept me warm in minus 50 degree weather. Literally.
I think that once you have read books like Bill Cooper’s “Behold A Pale Horse” as I know that both you and HSF have, you don’t ever look at what we call reality the same way ever again.
The late Bill Hicks had it right too.
“…I have this feeling man, ’cause you know, it’s just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that’s true, it’s provable. It’s not … I’m not a fucking conspiracy nut, it’s provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media.
I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there.
And you’re in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, “Roll the film.” And it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it’s from the grassy knoll.
And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, “Any questions?” “Er, just what my agenda is.” “First we bomb Baghdad.” “You got it …” — Bill Hicks
“…The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: “Is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey, don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.” And we kill those people…” — Bill Hicks
“…Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves…” — Bill Hicks
The strange times that we are living in remind me of the ending to the 80’s show “St. Elsewhere”. It was revealed in the last moments of the final episode that everything that had happened in the show was simply imagined by a boy with autism through his snow globe. Nothing was real. Maybe it really is as the Moody Blues so poetically put it in “Nights in White Satin” that …”we decide which is right and which is an illusion”.
One of my favorite ‘what is real and what is an illusion’ movies.
Here it is complete on YouTube.
This is the 1980 PBS version and is much better than the 2002 remake with James Caan.
Uncola – You will love it…
I just researched it a bit and sampled the video. I will likely watch it in the dark. But first I gotta go find my lava lamp. I think I may have packed it away with my corduroys. Overpopulation, plagues, aliens, and end to racism. It must be about the future. 🙂
That takes place in the past?
I can lend you a lava lamp if you can’t find yours. I have two.
Do you want the turquoise one or the red one?
What’s even more crazy is you are using Bill Hicks as a reference but Bill Hicks is, best as I can tell from the info I’ve seen, Alex Jones now. The original Alex Jones, before Bill replaced him, looks totally different.
https://beforeitsnews.com/v3/conspiracy-theories/2014/2465122.html
Very nicely put together. I was wondering where to put this. It is really just for you and HSF.
Thanks, Rob. I will watch it later tonight. In the meantime, I wanted to correct something I said in my earlier comment to Hardscrabble above. The part where I said: “I’ve made my choice”. Honestly, it really wasn’t even a choice. It just is what it is and that’s all there is; there isn’t any more
@ HR,
Admittedly, there is a two-dimensional aspect to Rand’s characters. In watching the video, I thought the characters as gods was an astute observation; especially in light of Rand’s admiration for Nietzsche’s quotation on the “noble soul” having “reverence for itself”.
I was also reminded what Bill Maher once said about former House speaker Paul Ryan. Something to the effect of: “He lifts weights and loves Ayn Rand. It doesn’t make him Speaker of the House, it makes him a teenager”.
Uncola,
This is as good a place to put this comment as any on this thread.
It truly is satisfying to read your thoughts. As you’ve said before, this place, TBP, is a process for you as I am sure it is for others. A means to hold beliefs and ideas to the fire of the comment section of the Burning Platform!
I appreciate you adding this,
Hahaha….
What an entertaining read! Kudos!
Thanks, Plato. I appreciate it
“People like us” is very easy to explain. The Bible calls us “the Remnant”, like Israel’s, those left after the great cleansing that will take place in the US over the next 11 or so years. All of will not make it, but many more of us will be here compared to how many deaths that will be inflicted upon the sleepwalking unwashed masses by TPTB. We will have to then step out of the shadows and take an active roll in rebuilding our nation.
Soft Men create Soft Times. Soft Times create Hard Times. Hard Times create Hard Men. Hard Men create Good Times. Good Times create Soft Men.
And so the cycle goes…we are in the Soft Times now and rapidly moving to the Hard Times. Plan accordingly, and like the Boy Scouts say, “Be Prepared”.
Did any of them mention that possibility?
In more recent years, good ole’ bill ayers, obammy mentor and founder of the terrorist organization The Weather Underground, mentioned it to undercover fbi agent larry grathwohl……something about have to eliminate 25 million….search the interview on utube.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it”-Woodrow Wilson
Maybe Wilson was referring to a power “beyond wordly power” that is in contention with the ‘beyond wordly power’ Uncola mentioned ? Spiritual discernment ?
Ordo,
Great quotes! I first ran across the quote from President Wilson in the documentary entitled “Money Masters”
I swear, if history was taught to me this way in Public school it would have eliminated a lot of cognitive dissonance i have experienced over the course of my 40 years on the planet.
@ Ordo,
RE: annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum
And I thank you for the reminder on the “SOTU” thread regarding that quote. It was timely and right on the money. Literally.
This piece was fantastic. I’ve read it a couple of times, made a comment or two to other posts, and have been thinking about how I could even begin to articulate the ‘twilight zone’ effect the information within it has had in just the past few hours.
I got my usual couple/three hours of sleep, woke up and went to stevequayle.com and clicked a title “TED BROER: Were WW I and WW II planned long in advance to rebuild Solomon’s temple for the appearance of the Antichrist ? Thought provoking must listen broadcast”. So, I clicked on it (a link I couldn’t copy and paste for some reason) and began to listen to the 1 hour long recording. It started out like it could have been an audio version of this piece ! I only listened to the first 30 minutes, where they ventured to news of the day. I have never heard of this guy before.
Earlier, on the article “In a rare moment of honest, democrats finally admit they’re for infanticide”, I posted this:
Has there been any talk of the governors erecting a 40′ tall statue of Molech on the capital grounds? Maybe burning the children alive is a bit too much for our sensibilities just yet? Or will the Washington obelisk representing the erect phallus of Osiris suffice?

I could go on, but I’ve had pretty consistent luck with any long posts disappearing into the ether. Just listen to about the first 33 (haha) minutes of the broadcast…..you’ll see what I mean
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum !
You ain’t wrong… so damn sad. Us.
I think it is a lot simpler than antibody or immunity….we’ve just seen behind the magicians curtain. Once you see how it is done you can’t unsee it. It’s more like a “that’s it? that’s all you got? That’s what looked so amazing from the cheap seats” kind of reaction now.
“We spend far more time swimming in their oceans of lies and shallow platitudes than the next fifty people on the street and yet we aren’t taken in.”
I have often asked myself the same thing. I still haven’t come up with a good answer.
I think it is called intellect and it allows us to see things as they are.
If the US was free, peaceful, had a booming economy, had a balanced budget, had sound money, had safe streets, had no minimum wage, and taxes imposed by all levels of government took less than 10% of our income in the past, are Americans happier now that the USA is a police state, at war, has a dead economy, is in debt, has a minimum wage, and high taxes?
Most don’t care about all those trivial things just as long as they are able to avoid personal responsibility, blame others for their problems, and fuck things they shouldn’t be fucking…
Trump talks like a regular person. He at least said stuff about respecting the second amendment. The folks on the left want to take away the second amendment and our guns. So, I will never vote for those who wish to take away freedoms. It’s a shame people were too stupid to vote for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul was valuable in a different way. Think of him as Paul Revere. Sounding the alarm. Pointing out the absurd. But he had no taste for the fight. So it really doesn’t matter at what level he failed. He’ll go down as a Patriot, and maybe without Ron Paul we wouldn’t have a Donald Trump. Think of Trump as George Washington. There’s a war to fight. And you need somebody with a good chin and a love of brawling. We’ve got that guy, let’s see how he does. So far, the results are disappointing. But the fight’s not over. And almost all the good stuff is on the table right now.
Star- Paul Revere Paul is bloodline also.

trump is not as disappointing as he seems,he has many successes that do not make the news–
Resetting the big ones is all that matters. Should I be fucking jumping up and down happy they moved the embassy to Jerusalem? That he let a bunch of federal felons loose? Maybe I’m just hard to please. But I want a wall, I want to see a restructuring of the trading system, I want the end to economic wars that never end, and I want to see a complete overhaul of the welfare system. Anything less and his Presidency will be a total failure. That said, I’m pretty happy that we’re having those fights. We’ll see how he does.
You should re-read this article starfcker
Trump is a zionist shill.
Israel has taken global leadership in cyber-security and will be in control of the mark of the beast global crypto-currency when it is released.

Steve..
They are also the go to place for Facial recognition.
5 downers for that harmless statement? Is this Facebook?
Perhaps those down voters should research Trump’s primary supporter and donor, one Sheldon Adelson, whose only interest is pushing the agenda for a greater Israel. Yes, it’s true, Virginia, there is a global Zionist conspiracy that is pushing the NWO agenda. Just keep burying your head in the sand until your ass gets kicked up between your shoulder blades. Just two kinds of people, those who are awake(red pill) and those who prefer to snooze (blue pill) while America circles the drain.
Forced revolution
Yes. Create problem, offer solution.

Just like a cornered wild animal, when people’s backs are pushed towards that ever-approaching wall and feel trapped, they will be forced to do something.
To quote Terminator Salvation here: “In times of desperation people will believe what they want to believe.”
CC Rider and Doug are right. It don’t matter. It’s fixed.
No Maggie, it does matter, but that does not mean that it is not fixed. Of course it is fixed. In the end, all of this points to only one possible conclusion. Get out your yellow vest and kick every one of the criminals out of office. The only real solution is rope and lamp posts.
Is it real or is it Memorex? You know a commercial was successful when you still remember it 30 years later.
Hardscrabble asked an interesting question. Are we inoculated or in some way naturally resistant enough to even ask these kinds of questions?
I don’t think there is an easy answer to that question but I do believe there is something different going on with us. I believe Providence has a hand in it. I think we think differently than others. When I share this kind of essay either no one reads it or they roll their eyes. It makes me want to poke their eyes out. They are not using them anyway so what do they need them for?
We need to identify the enemy because if we do not know who our enemy is we lose. Sitting still and waiting is not an option. Doing that will only increase the chances the enemy wins, and maybe in the short run, it does anyway. But maybe it is not supposed to win yet. Maybe we still have a chance to put things off at least for a few more years and if we miss that chance our children and grandchildren can point the finger at us and ask us why, if we knew this was happening, we did nothing.
Are we inoculated or in some way naturally resistant enough to even ask these kinds of questions?
Lies and falsehoods simply don’t sit well in the human mind. It’s intuition, not intelligence that starts ringing the mental alarm bells when lies attempt to enter and take up residence.
James Corbett did an interesting video on Edward Bernays back in 2008.
https://www.corbettreport.com/mp4/ep033.mp4?_=1
Steve..
He also did a good one on Mao’s Zionist Jew inner circle.
It was pretty interesting. On the thread of this article on Zero Hedge someone posted a 3-hour video on Bernays’ “Century of the Self”.
I may even write on that at some point. Thanks Steve
Also, something I neglected to mention in my above comment: That Corbett report was dated 2-17-2008. At around the 31 minute mark, it referenced the staged/phony FEMA press conference which took place at the end of 2007 on the California wildfires.
Then, at the 31:25 mark, the graphics of newscasts on the FEMA deception show: “FAKE NEWS FROM FEMA”.
Newscasts on FEMA’s impropriety while covering wildfires in California, with screaming graphics of “FAKE NEWS”. And it all occurred circa 12 years ago.
Furthermore, it was the Washington Post that initially broke the story on FEMA’s fake news.
Yep. The more things stay the same, the more they change.
“Or is he virtuoso on the field playing his opponents like violins, and with the very strings from which they will soon hang?
Or is he an orange-haired pied-piper using Tweets and headlines and sound bites as flute music to simultaneously soothe and rile a nation of lemmings marching towards the cliff?” Interesting read Unco, but you’re overthinking this. Trump is real. How do I know that? Because I can keep score. Trump is not a magician. What he is, is a bulldozer. Look at the fights we’re having right now. These are the big ones. Forget all the little chickenshit that people on this board worry about (but muh bump stock! I taught I thaw him thmile at a JEW!)). NAFTA. Trade with China. Immigration. End the wars. There’s no telling whether he’s going to win or not, there’s a lot of other people that get to play. But those are fights we’re having. RIGHT NOW. Does any other elected politician want to fight those fights? And if we do win some of them, it will help reshape the country in the ways we all dream about. Can you name a single person willing to do more? No one else even exists. We are country completely barren of political leadership, with the exception of Trump. Do everything in your power to help him succeed, whatever that is. This is our opportunity. To not take advantage of it would be to our great detriment. Because there’s no one else.
Food for thought, as always, Star.
As I’ve intimated before: Trump’s speaking truth to power is what partially motivated me to start my blog in September of 2016 at a time when everyone (especially me) believed Hillary Clinton would be our next president.
Imagine how pissed I’ll be if Trump turns out to be a ruse.
Truly, as I mentioned above in my piece, I don’t believe anyone can be 100% certain given what’s transpired over the last two years. And that is very strange to the point of, perhaps, speaking volumes in and of itself, ya’ know?
As I’ve also stated before: The proverbial glass is either half empty or half-full depending upon where we look.
That said, I hope you are right.
I would correct you on one count, Unco. Ron Paul spoke truth to power. And they shafted him. And he didn’t have the strength to fight back, much less to consolidate enough power to do anything. He, like Nigel Farage, wanted the revolution to be a lecture. Nigel stepped aside, and you see how Brexit is going. He thought he had done the job. Not going to happen that way. Trump is not speaking truth to power. Trump is actually fighting the power. Don’t confuse the lack of results for the fact that he’s in the fight. It’s like football. You might think that your team should win, but the other teams going to play hard too. I think Mateo Salvini in Italy is Trump on the next level. He doesn’t care if the other side hates him. Keep up the good work, guy. We are on the same side.
@strfker
We often times do not get to witness the fruits of our labors….or realize that we might have won a small victory here or there, forcing the other team to readjust their strategy…
It’s not like we have t.v. networks that Monday morning quarterback our decisions like we do with sports.
@ Star,
RE: Ron Paul
I liked how Nickelthrowr phrased it one time in a comment here. Something to the effect of knowing Trump was a done deal as soon as he announced his candidacy for president because of his experience as a reality TV star.
Unco, one advantage I have is that Trump used to call in to Michael Savage back in 2011, and I was in my car a lot during that time and heard him a few times. He had amazing clarity as to what the big problems facing the country were, and even more importantly, he had some big ideas about he how he might get himself elected President and do something about it. He didn’t run in 2012, but I knew he was out there. A guy with a big enough picture grasp of things and a means to put himself in that position without being bought. He’s done nothing so far that leads me to believe that he is anything other than what he says he is. Again, I think you are confusing results with intentions. This is hard stuff. There are no other politicians that were not put there by big money. Zero. So putting together coalitions to get things through Congress is very difficult. Paul Ryan is gone. So a lot of other big-name RINOs. And I repeat, there’s nobody else out there to do this job. Ron Paul got run over by a truck. Fighting is not what he does. This guy proved to be a lot tougher than that. He’s still there. And we’re in a food fight over the wall right now, I’m willing to sit back and see what he’s able to accomplish. How could Trump have been a done deal? Where has there been any help by anybody to put him in the position he’s in? If he’s a stooge, why all the opposition? Why not just let him roll over on his back like George Bush and start signing heinous legislation? Jeb could have done that, and we wouldn’t be fighting about immigration and trade and ending wars. We either have a country or we don’t, and with this guy we may have a fighting chance. There’s nothing wrong with being a skeptic, but don’t let it be the only gear you’ve got.
Doug, just ask yourself, if I was a fake Trump, what would I do to carry out the bidding of the Deep State and TPTB? Does it seem that he is doing that? Or just enough to avoid their full wrath? I have asked myself the same and am planning for all possibilities. But I can say he is the closest to the real thing since JFK in my assessment. But we see what happened to JFK.
What if the TPTB wanted a wall to lock people in, a patsy to usher in their new cashless economy, and e-verify first for immigrants then for everyone?
“just enough to avoid their full wrath” would also be very representative of a ruse and just as effective.
And a commenter monikered as “Shonuff” on one of my past threads said something along the lines of this:
“If Trump were real he’d be dead already”
All food for thought, no?
Or not.
Except in Venezuela, you don’t want him to succeed there do you?
I choose not to focus on chickenshit.
@ Strfcker,
You got one part right…
Trump is Real, alright…
REAL PHONY!
As I’ve said since the beginning when I came back to TBP to a circle jerk of Trump lovers who thought he’d uphold liberty and the Constitution
He is nothing more than a Globalist Wolf in a Nationalist Wolf costume!!
It always comes back to perception management!
Making a pile of shit look like a dozen roses to the Public Mob! As Huxley warned, making us love our servitude!
I certainly look forward to your comments because you are so often a contrarian on many of the issues discussed around here and it gives me an opportunity to look at things from a different perspective.
This comment, however makes no sense to me.
“Making a pile of shit look like a dozen roses to the Public Mob.”
I conclude from the preamble that Trump is “a pile of shit”, but who exactly has made him look like a dozen roses? I haven’t seen anything even remotely like that from any quarter in the past three years.
HSF and all down voters,
Keep em comin!
His talking points that have been thoroughly data mined and discussed at round table meetings such as the Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilaterl Commission and Royal Institute of Affairs. These talking points he tweets, playing the part of a faux nationalist, given to him by his handlers is part of the global plan…one last nationalistic hoo-ra in order for the next phase of the Masonic Great Plan to be implemented,
Perception management, social engineering strategies to justify ONE WORLD, Global citizenship and to demonize the old supposedly archaic ways of nation states competing for limited resources…
The story of the Phoenix as portrayed by the Eagle on the back of the U.S. Dollar bill (FRN) is part of the generational plan for world government. We already have world governance, only thing lacking is a publically perceived enforcement arm….as of now the globalists have used the established nations authority and laws to align and consolidate power….using the U.S. superpowers technologically advanced military and American blood swear and tears to enforce and intimidate otger nation states into submission if they can’t be burdened with unplayable IMF loans or sovereignty-eroding trade agreements.
HSF,
I value your insight more than I let on. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us in your finely written articles. I hope your recovery is going smoothly.
I wanted to expand on my comment below I wrote rather hastily…
3 quotes
And 2nd one
The 3rd one is a doozy and explains the demonization of Christianity in America and the persecution of Christians worldwide
I am of the belief that some things are baked into the cake due to social engineering And the degree of power wielded by a few…
Pick a side we will, but make sure we are fighting foe the right reasons too.
Plato…
Keep up the good work.
And you could go on and on with quotes from their own mouths ! As far as your pursuit for Truth, IMO you’ve got it roped, now through a half-hitch on it, mark it with your own hot iron cause you dang sure own it !
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-
“Osiris wil rise in splendor from the dead and rule the world through those sages and philosophers in whom wisdom has become incarnate” – Manly P. Hall 33rd Degree Freemason
“The world will soon come to us for its Sovereigns and Pontiffs. We shall constitute the equilibrium of the Universe, and be rulers over the Masters of the World” – Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry
“I am Yesterday and I am Today; and I have the power to be born a second time”–Statement of Osiris from the Egyptian Book of the Dead
Dude… money.
Revelation 1:8 KJB… “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
There are three time periods here.
Does anybody see?
Past… Genesis- Acts
Present… Romans – Philemon
Future… Hebrews – Revelation
Come on! It’s so simple.
When once one sees, one can never unsee. The Bible becomes as real as it’s supposed to be.
Only one way to find out. Open the thing. Start in Romans… 3-8
“When once one sees, one can never unsee. The Bible becomes as real as it’s supposed to be. “
Absolutely. When one truly sees the “Light” by the power of the Holy Spirit, all else pales by any comparison and one easily sees the grand deception all around us. Thank Yahweh for the Truth that sets the true believer free.
We always hear such things as “God works in mysterious ways” and “I’m searching for Gods will for my life”. This scripture fits perfectly.
1 Corinthians 2:9 KJB… “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
Paul is of course quoting Isaiah 64:4 in order to comparatively reveal new information. Most stop at verse 9 because verse 10 requires further study.
1 Cor 2:10… “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
The Spirit of God inspired some 40 men to pen a single book over a 1,500 year period which tells any who are interested the single story of the deep things of God. Indeed, revealed truth is the single source of truth in the world that can be trusted absolutely.
God works in perfectly logical ways and His will for each of us is spelled out in simple English. Most have been indoctrinated by religion to believe otherwise.
Revelation 13:16-17 KJB… “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Folks are going to line up for this. They will beg for a mark.
Not me… ?
(Go ahead, ask why.)
Me neither!!!
And, I believe it will be seamless as so many are already doing now – just a quick press of the little button and voila! Instant IMAGE, instant gratification! And the Biblical pattern of Nebuchadnezzar continues onward.
Except for those who do not worship the “IMAGE” of the beast.
HSF..
Before he announced he was running in mid 2015, who were his close friends and inner circle?
Bill and Hill. Their daughters were bff’s. Zionist New York bankers and Rothchild insiders.
In one year he was transformed into a conservative freedom fighting swamp drainer. Now who makes up his advisers and cabinet. Warmongering Zionist money changers. You haven’t seen anything even remotely like that from any quarter? The silence from those any quarters pointing that out was deafening. Jeb, Mika and Maddcow should have been all over how phony he was on just that one fact.
HF- Daddy M, working hard to make this POS smell like roses. Except on his left leaning sites. Advertising…..it’s what’s for dinner, no mater what idiots show up to satisfy their appetite.
I enjoy your comments as well. But no one can be 100% certain of what Trump is. Not you, not Doug, not Jim, not HSF, not me, NO ONE. To pretend otherwise is to delude oneself into thinking that they are God on earth… Chip
You continue to ignore facts that can easily be substantiated without much effort. “Thmile at a JEW?” Come, come, now. He is immersed in the very essence of Jewishness, with his children all married into the tribe and his latest picks for various WH posts all being certified kosher. Along with fulfilling Adelson’s demands to move the embassy to Jerusalem and renig on the Iran nuclear treaty that got him elected. Why deny the facts and embrace the fantasy that someday he will drain the swamp? My good man, Trump is the biggest gator in the swamp. Unfortunately, reality will undoubtedly be the 2×4 that smacks all of those who continue cling to his coattails up along side the head in the very near future. I really thought you had a better handle on the situation. Open minded folks will surf the net and see if they can verify my far-fetched claims. Go ahead, it might be very revealing.
renege
End what wars?
Star, as a long time Fed, I can say this; if Trump pokes too hard at the Deep State, he had better be sure he has a stunning Eulogy already made out, and a magnificent memorial service planned. He will need them. The way to tame the DS is the death of a thousand cuts. Trump is doing this so well many of us don’t see it. The Titanic that is the US GOV cannot be turned on a dime. Hopefully we get 8 years of Trump and he is the real deal. But, we must plan for the opposite of that: 2 more years of gridlock and he is gone, and the new President is a full on Communist/Socialist, with like said policymakers and laws. “Gird your loins and maketh yourself ready” sayeth the Lord…the rain of pain is still coming.
That was a great article. We really are inside a narrative machine, constantly distracted, by never ending trivialities. I feel sorry for the kids growing up in this hyper active story telling machine.
How are they going to figure out right and wrong, when those values are for sale to the highest bidder?
They are brought up with a screen, and the State as their moral standard bearers.
“The heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord. Like the Rivers of water, He turneth it whithersoever He will.” That’s why God commands us to pray for Kings and for rulers and for those in authority.
Uncola,
I just want to compliment you on the continuing power of your writing. It is getting stronger and better all the time, and is in the same class as Admin and Hardscrabble Farmer. Good company indeed.
This essay was just noted as MUST READ by Steve Quayle, and I couldn’t agree more.
I remember first commenting on one of your essays that had something with Kurt Vonnegut and maybe an allusion to Dan Gable, the famous Iowa wrestler and coach, perhaps a year or two ago. I’ve probably read most all of your essays since, and they only get better.
Having been an avid reader for over five decades, and after an interesting engineering career that allowed me to work and see a good part of our planet, I’m also enjoying the -70 wind chill weather as a retiree. Keep writing, and stay warm!
Thank you NrtoP. I always enjoy your comments. Especially that one. 🙂
Fake wrestling all the way down.
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”

” We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do. ” Karl Rove
Another sociopath.
Is President Trump “backed” or “handled”, both? To what degree?
Every President in my life has been handled, post JFK. Regan might have thought about it, until Hinkley shot his ass. Will President Trump buck the trend and retain his life, his children?
If he is backed in opposition to these handlers, then we are in revolutionary times, of sorts. At least as revolutionary as those past, weather designed or not by Elite powers will forever be speculative.
True revolution would strike down these powers likely in control for centuries.
Is that now? Not likely.
Has there been any revolutions, the American, French, Russian, Protestant, Chinesse that were not pre ordained by elite architects? Can we ever really know?
So much is carefully hidden.
Are the true elites in unison with direction or are there divergences, squabbles, sometimes in unison, sometimes squabbling? Which is now?
I prefer Brand Trump, backed or handled, over any other brand presented. There will be no consensus for better, no enlightened dawn of human cooperation, no utopia. This is it.
Enjoy the show!
If you want to save any of the old America then Trump is our only hope. Maybe he can postpone what I think is coming. The true test is our 2nd amendment . If they come after our guns and we do nothing then they will eventually come after our bodies. These liberal progressives hate us but they are just the window dressing . The real powers want us dead. They want us out of the way. They will murder us if given the chance . Especially if you are a Bible believing white male . They see Christianity, Christians and traditional white people as the main force blocking their New World order and WE ARE . It’s in their Occult writing and many of these people have already given themselves over to hard core Satanism . Once they get their leftist lock on power through immigration they then plan to use unlimited immigration to swiftly destroy what’s left . The planned take down of the world economy will be the crisis they use to implement their sinster agenda . I pray everyday for Trump and for white people to wake from their slumber but it may be to late. The media has such a powerful hold on the minds of white people . It’s as if we are under a massive witchcraft spell and most are completely unaware of their own brainwashing.
Trump is simply a large speedbump on the road to democratically elected socialist Hell.
What a profound comment BB! Chip
We are indeed under a spell, but so many of the sheeple are unwilling to properly identify the spell casters. You state that “it is in their occult writings,” but don’t clearly identify who “they” are. A battle cannot be fought, or even begin, for that matter, unless the true enemy of mankind is clearly identified and duly marked as the enemy. Again, you state that the “media” has such a powerful hold on the minds of white people. Who controls the media and thus forms most people’s opinion through their filtered newscasts? Six corporations control ninety-six percent of the media coverage in this nation. At the head of each corporation is one of those occult satanists that you speak of . But to further identify them would be to force people to admit what they wish to continuously ignore. Here’s a simple equation that can be used as a litmus test in every case of deceptive practices, misinformation, lying by omission, outright lying, etc. The equation is Communism =Jewishness. 85% of the Bolsheviks that murdered the Czar and his family and went on to create a hell on earth in Russia were Jews. Nearly 100 million white Christians were butchered, including women and children at the bloody hands of these devils. That’s a real holocaust that you can contemplate coming to your neighborhood if the mask isn’t ripped off of them here and soon.
You’re mistaken about the makeup of the Czar’s hit squad. Been researching for a new piece on the House of Special Purpose.
Some facts you may want to add to your research:
In the spring of 1918, the Tsar and his family were taken to Ekaterinburg in the Urals where the Jew Jacob Yurovsky, head of the local Cheka, was given the assignment to imprison, plan, and assassinate the Imperial Family.
Yurovsky brought the Tsar and his family to a former house of a wealthy Jewish merchant named Ipatiev, now made into a prison for his captives.
In prison for over two months, just before midnight on July 17th 1918, the Jew Yurovsky brought the Imperial Family to the basement. They were told that they were going to pose for a group picture. But, the Jewish assassins, Yurovsky, Nikulin, Yermakov, Vaganov, were waiting.
Yurovsky then pulled out his revolver and aimed it directly at the Tsar’s head and fired. Tsar Nicholas II died instantly. Next, he shot Tsarina Alexandra as she made the sign of the Cross. Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia, were shot next.
Excellent post. I have Always ended up Hating the people I Voted for & sadly even now with Trump(Currently Disappointed/Confused) because he is either incapable of utilizing his Power or as you say – he is a part of “the Matrix – Deep State”: ie – Government Approved Candidate. He may very well Sleepwalk us into Slavery. As you mentioned is it really possible for there to be so Many Close Game Scores, Elections, Etc – I think Not. Between The Media(Propaganda), The Government (Population Control), Organized Religion(Mind Control), Drugs(Impulse Control) it is very Challenging & Difficult for the average Human Being to Discern: Truth, Reality, Fact, Fiction, Fantasy, Sanity, Rationality, Love, Hate, Enlightenment. For Now Pray to Jesus, Prepare & when the time comes Kill All Demons! God Bless All of You & Your Families!
I’d like to think that there is this Trump coin you talk about in your intriguing sally into The Matrix. The problem is the coins in your pocket, if you carry them anymore, are not specie as required by the constitution; just pot metal. Not the real thing, representational of money but nearly worthless. What Jean Baudrillard (the prophet of the Post-Modern) called a simulacrum:
“It is no longer a question of imitation, nor duplication, nor even parody. It is a question of substituting the signs of the real for the real”. Ask your broker about what a “derivative” is.
Maybe a better analogy for The Man From Queens is a pair of dice. In our gambleholic world, I can see it as directly representational, and wonderfully metaphoric, of DJT. See the garish oceanfront casino in Atlantic City that bears his name; a million flashing lights, cheap booze, no clocks and, as with everything in Hyper-Finance Capitalist system, “The House Always Wins”. Yes, the ancient six-sided gaming pieces; one never knows what value is going to come up: Conservative, unstable, patriot, Republican, social liberal, genius, closet Democrat, mercurical, NWO tool, New Yorker, Patriot, jerk, Fascist, strategic thinker, Zionist…”boxcars”, “natural” or “hard eight” it is seemingly, for the little people anyways, always coming up craps.
Whatever game we are playing, “The Economy”, “Education”, The Military”, International Affairs”, “infrastructure’ and especially “taxes”, the table is rigged, the dice are loaded and the coin has as its motto ” heads we win, tails you lose”.
By the way, the music from the Matrix clip is devastatingly accurate for the times in which we live: “Clubbed To Death”; sheer genius by Rob Dougan.
With all due respect, TLDRIIE (in it’s entirety).
I will only say that absolutely no man on Earth could play the required role of The Great Divider as masterfully. America is more thoroughly divided now by this actor than any other actor could have possibly accomplished.
That’s all crypto-jew Drumpf is.
The Great Divider.
An actor.
Obama was the great divider in chief my friend. It all happened under the radar of the propaganda MSM. The result of that division is Donald J. Trump. He was/is not the original cause. If Trump is nothing else he is shinning a big giant spot light on the hypocrisy of the left, the oneness of the RINO’s with the left, and the lying main stream media. For that and that alone I’m am glad he is our President. No one else could have shown the spot light so clearly for no one else could stand the heat he’s facing as a result… Chip
Being aware is nothing to brag about if you aren’t also prepared.
Prepared? Do you think your stockpiled food, guns and training will stop a drone strike? Or Government jackboots from kicking in your door and taking what you think you own? There are too many examples of this happening in America to suggest that this trend will not intensify and continue…
Getting right with our Maker is a better means of preparation.
Surely you are not arguing against preparation.
Nope, you can be prepared, have a bug out bag in case you must leave your fortress but preparation like this will only take you so far. That’s all I am saying.
Indeed.
“The scrolls of our lives were written long before we were born. Go and hide in a hole if you like. You won’t live one second longer. ” – The 13th Warrior
So,
“Hurry to meet Death before your place is taken!” – The 13th Warrior
Mental preparedness is everything.
Physical preparations are something.
Everyone on this planet is going to die eventually. Have you prepared for THAT? Nothing you can buy will have the power to banish death. There is no place on Earth or in space that you can run and hide from it.
The greatest, most powerful, historically crucial events have all been spontaneous, not planned or “prepared” for. What does that say about preppers and prepping? God laughs while Man makes plans.
Arguing against preparation? No. We’re arguing against tunnel vision, truncated thought, and lack of Faith…as well as fear itself.
Never let your fear of tomorrow prevent you from living today. Tomorrow is promised to NO Man, and they call today the “present” for a reason.
Prepping is a personal thing and begins with “Perfect
Love casts out fear”. I might add that it is an all day, every day battle. This is the real warfare that we must all engage in at the same time as stocking up on survival tools…at this late date.
What’s it really mean to be prepared ? Now, I can understand bragging about being aware you’re going to die, and how prepared you are for that.
“Take, therefore, no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things unto itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
annuit coeptis novus ordo selorum–even so, come quickly Lord Jesus !
Anon/Plato/Flea/Uncola,
Anon I agree on this point with both you and Plato as my first round of Preps started the last year of the Peanut Farmer’s debacle. I ate the 8 buckets of freeze dried food in the late 90’s while smiling at my wife as she thought I had gone overboard – and I was determined to justify the expense…then bought an entire pallet during the worst of 2008. She is 100% on board this round.
Plato is absolutely right about rock solid spiritual preps and how overwhelming the tribulation may become for anything less.
I know with me Prep is a form of defiance, fist shaking, stubbornness and all I can really control. It is also part of my Warrior nature, as Flea would recommend understanding that from Sarkar’s Law of Social Cycle he recently turned me on to.
Have a meeting coming up with two neighbors/Bible study friends on forming our tribe as no matter what face lands from the midair Trump coin toss…TSHTF is coming no matter who he really is. Both feel the same.
I have read Uncola’s piercing and articulate words and all the comments with great interest and follow everyone who is a regular contributor and their positions on Trump and why they feel the way they do. I wish I could be as certain as some are, but I am “getting nervous in the service” of my giddy relief from when the Billary went down.
Getting ready to clear land for a house I had thought I was too old to build…but now it and its basement with a wood burning stove makes Solar Minimum sense…unless one day the sons of bitches and daughter’s of witches just DEW me???
Mark..
Ole buddy, what if they don’t DEW you. Without that stove you’ll be shivering like a chickadee wondering “What Was I Thinking”.
Oh yea, I have had the stove since 2013 (stashed in the barn) when Obama’s EPA was outlawing them…old fashioned two burner cook stove. I will have heat and eggs and hog slices!
Well Flea…obviously neither one of us is easy to kill…that has been clearly established, so there is that.
I’ve been searching the Dark Web for anti-DEW weapons, maybe a knock off low budget rail gun. I might have to settle for a lighted laminated photo on the roof of the new abode of me giving them the finger!
If I can’t return fire I at least want to let them know the temperament of who they are incinerating.
Mark..
Rail guns? Cool.
I spend a lot of time teaching how to make disposable slamfire guns and and the mindset needed to shoot a fellow human being. Like an old marine told me in Nam. If you don’t have a plan you’re gonna die.
I don’t put stocks or handles on them. Just a harmless looking couple of pipes stowed with the Jack to look like junk. Throw them in a storm drain when you’re done.
if you plan this w/other people or let on too much about your preps you’re gonna die in a federal prison,conspiracy charges are tough to beat–
Tampa,
Considering how they monitor and collect data on everyone…no one who posts here is a Grey man or they wouldn’t even post here in the first place. I have no doubt every single one of us by virtue of posting on TBP has made some frigg’in government KEY WORD list somewhere. Hell, years ago I got all the 150 or so KEY WORDS on one e-mail and sent them out by themselves in defiance.
If the Globalists/Banksters ever gain complete power (and they probably will eventually) and they ever start checking their lists twice to round up who has been pro Constitutionally naughty – not Liberal Socialistic nice…they will come for all of us…sooner or later. I’m not just a keyboard Warrior…if and when they round me up, I hope it’s as expensive as I can make it.
That said, I made a conscience decision many, many years ago to speak out boldly, contribute money to groups or individuals I deem worthy to fight the Globalists Banksters (recently including Admin) sign worthy petitions, demonstrate in public for what I believe in, pay every penny of my taxes, arm myself legally to the teeth (The rail gun DEW returning fire was an obvious spoof – but I may put up the laminated photo of me giving them the finger on my roof) and not do anything stupid or un-lawful…unless (((they))) convince me it’s time for me to die.
I appreciate your concern, but I have come to the realization if I live long enough there is an ever increasing chance I will not end up in hospice in a nursing home and may be afforded the opportunity and the high honor to fulfill the Oath I took to defend the Constitution from all enemies, especially the domestic ones that are obiviously the greatest threat.
I have a serious Grey man friend…he has expressed fear for me in the past as well.
Semper Fi Do or Die
Great comment Mark. As per my previous comment to Plato I don’t think anyone can be 100% certain of Trump at least not at this point and perhaps never. I’m pissed with his performance on several issues but equally thrilled he’s exposing the left and the Rino’s for the globalists that they are. I might also add that said globalists are PURE EVIL IMO. The latest abortion laws, promotion of moral relativism, and everything evil under the sun is all the evidence anyone needs. Good luck with the house… Chip
Smaller Govt,
I have my reasons for my certainty…
Like I have said before, I was introduced to some guy (NO COINCIDENCE how I met him either) and his story, former Marine, recruited from within for the private sector, his forte was surveillance and he stated he worked for Dr. Jerry Buss as a spy. Yes, that Jerry Buss, the former owner of the L.A. Lakers.
The last conversation I had with him, years ago, before Trump had entered the field for Presidency….he said, “Well it looks like they found their man.”
He told me that because of this appointment that WWIII would be averted although there would be another MAJOR WAR and it wouldn’t be in the Middle East.
Many of his insider comments have come to fruition, for the past 6 or 7 years I have felt like I’m living in a spy novel myself….sorta like that movie with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, “Spy Game”
So my certainty is rooted not in my desire to be correct like most might imagine….because before this individual told me this about Trump I was CERTAIN the trends all pointed to HILLARY Clinton being our next president.
Anyways, I’m sure certain groups have been waiting for me to write that story and I have sat on it, not knowing if I should or not….oh well. I figured I just wouldn’t take the bait or play the game or realizing the game was being played regardless of my non participation.
I have moved way past the point of caring if people think I’m paranoid or schizophrenic….so His and my story just might get written.
Plato,
By all means please put is out, I would like to see it…the only possibility I’m not eliminating is the Bible’s.
Thanks for the thoughtful response Plato. The jury is still out on Trump for me. In many ways it appears he is controlled and is being very limited in his exercising of his Presidential powers. Soft coup? Non-shooting or “cold” civil war? I don’t know but nothing seems right… Chip
Thanks Smaller Govt.
Yea they are pure, undulated, puffed up, lost, doomed evil personified.

Funny vid! Mil issue 45 – M1911, my sidearm of choice as well. Carried it in the Army before they went to that POS 9mm Beretta. Good luck Mark, we’re not as young as we used to be! Chip
Yea SGN we’re not young…but by virture of time and experience and survival we have an edge (maybe its a little jagged)…but its still an edge.
Actually told my Daughter last week.
He is either the greatest President of our time or the Anti-Christ.
Time will tell.
I have laid up my treasure in another place.
Fantastic article once again.
Thank you!
Suppose for a moment that even the most aware of us are merely chasing down a series of rabbit holes that go nowhere. I know it may piss off some of the better minds who, for better or for worse are committed to “doing something” about the delimma the world faces, but I see a distinct possibility that the insanity we see all about us is merely involuntary panic over a situation that is out of control. It looks like insanity, but it is merely panic, based upon a fear of loss of control leading to death, much as a pair of pilots fighting over the same set of controls in a disabled plane. I believe there are central world figures whose goal is world domination. I have always assumed they are inherently evil, but now I am not so sure they have not just been guilty of trying to tweak the controls( for their own profit, of course)to the point that the plane is now in a steep, uncontrollable dive. Shit happens, and here we are.
Enjoyed greatly your article, Uncola. I’m really wrapped up in other stuff so, this will be my only comment before I log off for the day.
I never really bought into that Matrix stuff, not even as a theoretical possibility, and not even as good entertainment (I simply did not like the movies). But, that didn’t deter me from enjoying the article.
Let’s get religious.
All of what Trump is doing, good and bad, —> is that part of God’s plan? Well, punk …. is it???
— If ‘yes’, then God is in control, so why should I worry?
— If ‘no’, then Satan rules in America, and we ought to be scared shitless.
You’re a religious guy, Uncola. Undress! Remove the mask! Remove your light from under the bushel! Use your prodigious writing skills to give us a killer Christian sermon that will raise the roof! Maybe write an article, “Chill Everyone, God Is Still In Control”. Or, “Satan Controls America and America’s Collapse Is Near and Inevitable”. You, of all people, could send us pew-sitters into a frothing frenzy of righteous furor, so quit pussyfooting around.
The Lord has spoken.
Blessings ;>)
@ Stuck,
Jeez loueez, man! At least buy me a drink first, will ya? Do you have any 7-up?
That’s bigger coin to flip, no? However, I will say this: If there were, indeed, a sermon in this piece it would very likely center on this:
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.”
Interesting how a 1st century sandal-wearing itinerant never said “money” was evil, but, rather, the love of it. How’d they know? Same as the borrower being the lender’s servant. I swear the more things stay the same, the more they change.
How about a shorter version? Like mine: The Jews killed Jesus. “By their fruits you shall know them…”
God’s in charge and He’s got a plan. True enough. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re either going to agree with it OR like it!
Do you REALLY think it’s “part of God’s plan” to let America off Scot free after murdering 50 million unborn children? After banning the mention of His Name in one of our two major political parties? After codifying and “blessing” homosexuality? After 150 years of pure unadulterated mammon worship? And the lies…OMG! the LIES!
It strikes me as unlikely, given what He has taught me of Himself so far.
Christ said, “All power in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me.”… Chip
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
We are probably living in the middle of the 6th seal of the book of Revelation.
Revelation 3:20,
What your take on this? I don’t think we are that far along in the seals…yet.
BIGGEST Revelation Of The Book Of Revelations
https://www.brighteon.com/5850980248001
I’ll check out the link, thanks. I recently heard a sermon the old fashioned way , the pastor went through history and checked off the seals convincingly. To be skeptical of everything is to be “wise as serpents”
I really like Steve from “Think About It” Recently discovered him. He is bold!
You Tube shadow banned him…he was getting huge hits aso then went to Brighton for his videos, his website is:
http://www.thinkaboutit.online
Good video, I’ve always felt that a quick study should easily rule out a “pre-trib” rapture.
He’s seems like a nice enuff guy, but I, personally, would take issue with him on a few points.
skywatchtv.com
“Saudi Arabia, Jewish religious leaders, and Donald Trump are negotiating behind the scenes to transfer control of Israel’s holy sites—including the Temple Mount—to the Saudis, to complete a “peace covenant” that could result in, among other things, the building of the Third Temple (more revealed on this later).”
Authour Tom Horn, whose book ‘Petrus Romanus, the Final Pope is Here’ accurately predicted the resignation to the month and year of Benedict.
You didn’t ask, but I’ll offer my advice from 20 yrs of studying the KJV Bible: The individuals you will find at skywatchtv.com (Dr. Tom Horn, Derick and Dr. Sharon Gilbert, Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis and many more) exam scripture from the original language, (entymology)….
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum – the magical contsruct of DC points to the prince of the power of the air !! The morning star !
ordo ab chao,
Great post…I read/watch a wide variety of respected theologians, laypeople, pastors etc. and the original language is vital. As long as there is no disagreement on the major tenants I love to study the various minor prophetic differences and Rapture timing differences.
However you slice it…time is short.
What a time in His-story to be alive!
Excellent post Doug. “[H]e’s a walking, talking, Rorschach test”. That’s a classic.
POTUS is a joke, mocking. 911, Osama did it. Hussein Obama becomes president, after another Hussein had been removed, from a country not related to the incident. Rumors of his sexuality, that POTUS got another surname, Barack. Get the joke, or don’t.
Caligula planned to make a horse consul, more funny stuff ahead, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Question is, what is planned with the aging, current, POTUS. Like on 911, there are decades of hints in the media. My favorite, Trump the snake oil seller in a western series, wanting to build a wall in the late 50s!
Come on, there is only one valid option in the article above.
“The delusion will be so great as to deceive the very elect if that were possible”.
The time to pity the willfully deluded is at their funeral. See to it that YOU are not among them.
We are being played by a 3 way Kabuki of Russia, China and the U.S. with the Zio-Commies in Israel directing the show.
Thank You!
Well thought out and presented – You’ve let me know I’m not alone in seeing the same red dress and pondering these same types of wonderments…
In the YT FOX Stream chat room I sometimes frequent, there are many who see President Trump as only REAL! They can’t begin to think otherwise – I’m somewhat repetitive (but not overly so) in reminding them that:
“It’s All Still The Matrix Folks – Beware” or some other type of similar warning –
(To be clear – I voted for DJT and don’t trash him, but also realize “sumthin’ just ain’t right here folks”)
Some of the, dare I say, hubristic, unthinking “blind devotion” I’ve seen displayed in said chat room has led me to realize that a certain world leader, foreseen and foretold by the prophets of old, is all the more likely, especially if he/she/it only has even a few of the answers and solutions to the centuries/millennia old quagmires engulfing the world of man –
The men behind the curtain are revealing themselves – Edward Bernays only one of their henchmen – Alice Bailey – “The Externalization of the Hierarchy” – As well as numerous other ‘expose’s’ Brings more into focus as well –
“The Division Bell” has sounded – “What Fellowship Has Light To Do With Darkness?”
Mankind’s filthy sh*thole world soon will be no more – TG!
One Day Closer –
“For We, According To His Promise, Look Forward To A New Heaven and A New Earth Wherein Righteousness Dwells.”
There will be no lies or day of birth abortions where the Light will lead those who are ready and willing to follow –
Take Care Good People!
I found this to be a rather lengthy and rambling article. I might
have been better off just surfing the net for free porn.
Or maybe some need to purchase and read The Donald’s book,
“The Art of the Deal.”
The man lays out his plans and he has not changed since 1987. Perhaps
we have the grey champion of a 4th Turning before us? Time will tell.
I lean towards the insight of starfcker on this one.
Disagree with your comments on the article. But agree with comments concerning Trump. He’s been saying the same things for decades. But as the article points out, only time will tell if he’s currently the real deal or a part of the deep state/globalist plan… Chip
You mentioned Roy Cohn, and the interview about Trump. Roger Stone goes all the way back to the 70’s, and a quick search of roy cohn and roger stone/gay will produce more (what I consider disgusting) info about the type of ‘moral’ leadership we’ve had here in Amaruca- The Land of the Plumed Serpent.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-it is a spiritual battle……. and the Prince of the Power of the Air is being allowed to direct the course of events….for now !
Trump and coin in the title, with the Israeli Trump/Cyrus Temple coins minted in Israel.
I’ve never read the book Gutenberg Galaxy….but considering the printing press’s influence, I’m curious if there is mention of Gutenberg and Martin Luther, the father of the Protestant movement, and the spread of the message of Saved by Grace to the world. Grace country pastor should know more about this…..
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-something wicked this way comes
Not only was it sweet how the bi-partisan cooperation between Barr and the demonrats flowed like honey dealing with red flag laws, but it was equally endearing for neither side of the demonrat/republicant coin to bring up Barr’s involvement in the Ruby Ridge incident.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum- is it murder when an fbi sniper shoots dead an unarmed woman and child? The top cop during Ruby Ridge, William Barr, doesn’t think so ! He also goes waaaay back with special prosecutor Muleface.
I guess I’ll sneak in here on my way to feed goats and grab number 99! (Edit: Ended up being 101. Haha… I coulda been a contender if I’d just stopped HERE. But, with healing of the body comes healing of the mind. Perhaps the rest will follow.)
I saw your post but never had the time to give it a proper reading.
McLuhan was intriguing and I’ve been dropping hints to you about mediums and messages for a long time. I grasp a lot of what McLuhan meant, but the cognitive embrace feels somewhat similar to wrapping my arms around the sunlight streaming through the window, it is easy to detect and embrace but impossible to hold onto. Both brilliant without tangible substance. (I was trying for an illuminating metaphor that suggests McLuhan’s thinking is hard to follow, sometimes. I think that may be due to his turning on and tuning out phases, which produced a different sort of “message.”)
Link below…
[[[In 1993, three years before his death, Leary channeled McLuhan in How To Operate Your Brain, a video produced by RetinaLogic, featuring an electrifying collage of images and special effects backed by a driving techno beat.
Some excerpts from the soundtrack:
***“McLuhan said, ‘The medium is the message.’ The words you use, the modes of communication you use, determine the realities you inhabit. Most of us live in realities determined by others, imprinted in our brains by education, by religion, by politics, by the authorities.
***“McLuhan said: If you want to change your mind, change the medium. Change the words you use, change the mode of communication. If you change the medium, you change yourself, you change your society.
“In the 1960s, a new mode of communication developed—television. The kids growing up in the 1960’s learned how to tune in, turn on, fine tune, turn off, select. McLuhan said: Who controls the media is programming your mind and programming your brain. Learn how to operate your brain. The brain is designed to design realities.
“Marshall McLuhan made the prophecy. He told us that the aim of evolution was to use media to create what we all want: the global village, the language which can be understood by every human being, by every brain. The basic language of humanity, the language of the brain
“Now we have digital communication. We can create our fantasies. We can create our rhythms, design on screen. A new language will develop: a global language, not based on letters, not based on grammars. The language which we all understand, based on clusters of waves of light and sound.
“We will create a language of international global brain linkup. Anyone in any culture watching this screen will get the general picture. It’s one global village. It’s one global human spirit, one global human race. As we link up through screens, linked by electrons and photons, we will create for the first time a global humanity, not separated by words or minds, or nationalities or religious bias. We’re just now learning to communicate, brain to brain, soul to soul.”
Another excerpt from another essay about McLuhan. Good Golly, Miss Molly… will it ever stop? says tadpole to the magpie from longagofaraway. Just read it when you have a minute. See what jives and discard the rest.
No one will reply later about why I’ve baited this article with the above excerpt. Goats, bunnies and chickens needs food, water and hay for their shelter. They have to worry about their own love. As we all do.
Okay, now my poor chickens are suffering inside because I wanted to say one more thing to Stucky about the book I linked and which he ordered (from the library system I HOPE… the thing is out of print and I gifted my copy to a friend without knowing that. It is an interesting book to read (the first few chapters) and set aside, feeling smarter and better than others for owning it. However, no way I’d spend more than the 30 bucks I paid for it ten years ago… I might try to visit my friend and borrow my book back.
Thanks for the McLuhan link, Mags
Uncola, Mags, et al
Ever listen to Max Igan? I HIGHLY recommend TBPers to set an hour aside and listen to his most recent podcast. He knocked it outta the park!

Very interesting, a lot to unpack.

I’d not heard of him. Listened to the first few minutes and seems interesting, we’ll check it out later at some point. Thanks Plato
Remember when the Dems were the Conservatives and the Republicans pushed Progressivism ? Now who can tell the difference? Apparently dumbass is a team sport with only one rule. Anything deemed raciss , regardless the context , whether back by science or data automatically forfeits the game. And no , funny is not an excuse.

Ralph Northam: “White Guy Loses His Job”
Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government. The Governor of Virginia should step aside so the public can heal and move forward together.

NORTHAM BECAME A LIABILITY. HE IS EXPENDABLE LIKE ALL OF YOU. THE NARRATIVE HAD TO CHANGE TO THE BENEFIT OF KAMALA. DO YOU SEE?
I must be onto The Deep State, because that’s exactly what I was going to say
The gloves are now off. Behold the Hidden Hand.
I can certainly understand why they got rid of him. He was articulate, well-informed and he got under their skin.
Great find, you better save that offline.
So that interview occurred in the summer of 1983.
A couple of things to note:
The money shot occurs early – from the 2:55 to 3:30 mark. Compare what MaDonald said to where we are now today.
Also, at the 3:31 mark, look at Pat Buchanan’s body language. Interesting, no? It’s like he’s trying to protect himself from an invisible force.
It is also very peculiar to see how many times Tom Braden used the word “conspiracy” throughout the interview. It appeared Tom had a job to do and he was very hard at work.
good post, flash–
too bad buchanan could not have been doing a one on one w/mcdonald,it would have been much more informative & interesting–
i’m not a person who believes in large upfront conspiracies,but i also believe in a commonality or coming together of interests that cause events to happen or not happen–
This is from part 6 of a massive report put out by a private citizen titled:
There Are No “Statute of Limitations” On FRAUD!
Some of these groups really surprised me for a number of reasons, I knew Soros was behind many groups but had no idea of the massive wide ranging scope.
I helped defend a speaker at a FREE SPEECH anti-Sharia Law rally once from some bussed in snowflakes, Antifa and BLM types. Many had professionally made signs and were obviously being handled and were well organized, you could see the handlers sprinkled throughout the crowd, probably funded by one of or multiples of these groups.
Just putting these out as I am stunned at the length and the make up of the list:
GROUPS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS
Some of the names on this list will shock you… Abortion groups, open borders advocates, immigrant activists, groups to change the way we vote, socialist health care, climate change, “Catholics”, Socialists and Communists.
Advancement Project: This organization works to organize “communities of color” into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department.
Air America Radio: Now defunct, this was a self-identified “liberal” radio network.
All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws — which vary from state to state — so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even current inmates to cast their ballots in political elections.
Alliance for Justice: Best known for its activism vis a vis the appointment of federal judges, this group consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as “extremists.”
America Coming Together: Soros played a major role in creating this group, whose purpose was to coordinate and organize pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.
America Votes: Soros also played a major role in creating this group, whose get-out-the-votecampaigns targeted likely Democratic voters.
America’s Voice: This open-borders group seeks to promote “comprehensive” immigration reform that includes a robust agenda in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.
American Bar Association Commission on Immigration Policy: This organization “opposes laws that require employers and persons providing education, health care, or other social services to verify citizenship or immigration status.”
New World Order’s Stealthy Tool of Subversion: NGO’s
American Bridge 21st Century: This Super PAC conducts opposition research designed to help Democratic political candidates defeat their Republican foes.
American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board.
American Constitution Society for Law and Policy: This Washington, DC-based think tank seeks to move American jurisprudence to the left by recruiting, indoctrinating, and mobilizing young law students, helping them acquire positions of power. It also provides leftist Democrats with a bully pulpit from
which to denounce their political adversaries.
American Family Voices: This group creates and coordinates media campaigns charging Republicans with wrongdoing.
American Federation of Teachers: After longtime AFT President Albert Shanker died in in 1997, he was succeeded by Sandra Feldman, who slowly “re-branded” the union, allying it with some of the most powerful left-wing elements of the New Labor Movement. When Feldman died in 2004, Edward McElroy

@ Mark,
Even in spite of its length, I’m glad to have it here on this thread for posterity. It also reminded me of something else I wanted posted in this commentary as well: A video clip Admin had put up a few days ago, but this time, with the full text from that scene:
Crony corporatists to the right of me, socialist Soros-backed groups to the left, here I am…
Yea, it’s long. I read everyone…it was fascinating and horrifying. I had no idea he was feeding that many groups or there even are that many. Just an indication of what we are up against and their tentacles.
A billion dollars or two will buy a LOT of puppets …
cola,
how about an article about soros & what you believe his true beliefs/intentions are?
You mean it’s not the one-world agenda?
An oldy but a goodie on Georgie boy from 2+ years ago. I called it:
“Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions”
Also – BTW – That Soros piece referenced in my above comment was the 6th one I posted during the 1st month of my blog.
Two before that one (#4) was entitled “No Time for Losers” whereupon the words below were posted exactly 50 days before Trump was elected. It is very fitting they are reposted here now on this particular thread:
Unlucky guesses?
cola,
i just went back over to your site & read that piece–
i doubt w/the $ for attys that soros has that he could be caught in any law breaking but do you think he’s worth spending time/energy on to try & defeat him and do you believe he should somehow be legally stopped from participating in public or political life?
i have my own ideas about soros,which other people do not agree with–
Tampa,
Honestly, post Trump’s election, I believed there would be legendary clashes between the world’s consummate nationalist and preeminent globalist.
But not much to report because politics makes for strange bedfellows?
President Donald Trump has found a new, unlikely ally in his battle against China: billionaire George Soros
…but I would like to hear your ideas sometime
“National Abortion Federation: This group opposes any restrictions on abortion at either the state or federal levels, and champions the introduction of unrestricted abortion into developing regions of the world”
I keep thinking at every step of the rapidly downward spiral of this nation that we can’t get any worse….then we now have a state that have legalized abortion at the birth of the baby so parents can have the decision to decide if they want to keep their newly born infant of have it killed. We have become a hardened nation. And will reap what we have sown…and rightly so.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Signs Bill Legalizing Abortions …
Jan 23, 2019 … New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Signs Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth. … the bill, legalizing abortion for basically any reason up to birth in New … for illegally killing an unborn baby – even if the mother wants her child.”
That is some good information. Let me see if I can make it a bit more digestable.
TLDR
After listing all of the groups funded by this snake, it would be a cardinal sin to omit the fact that he is just another filthy rich Jew that has every intention of destroying our nation, heritage, race, moral values and every other things associated with traditional American values.
Admin- what’s up with the sudden explosion of appfuelus malware on every link on this site?
Probably a direct attack on this much esteemed blog!
22- I wonder if Trumpeteers are hit or just the small band of non-believers?
i’m a trumpeteer & my computer went haywire–but watch,we’ll go after you heretics even worse–
EC- Janus and Trump, both two- faced and lesser gods. Or not.
I look at this whole thing we call “America” – as the great experiment! Or how much BULL-oney, crime, and control can we inflict on these people before they wake up and finally say “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore”… and disconnect from this criminal system.
As I see it most – the majority – really don’t care; then there are those who “fight and take to the streets” for their own agenda and “piece of the pie” – no matter what their agenda is; there are those that go along with the crowd and spend their time in “technology-land” talking to myriad of “friends” to pay any attention to anything at all around them. Meanwhile, the land that once had some semblance of integrity and honesty is already down the drain.
My own choice is clear. My path is set.
Good close.
Doug,
I officially pass the baton to you as a chronicler of insanity and the insane until you lose the stomach for it. Nobody does it better. When I next post a select few articles on SLL, this will be one of them.
Robert honors Dianna, goddess of light . So long farewell, adeu.
adieu
Both are correct EC- adeu is alternative to adieu. Let’s not get carried away.
There is a method to the madness my friend.
Yeah, I hate goal-tending you and HF.
I don’t think you do.
Or visa versa.
Thanks, Robert
As the new Chronicler of Insanity and the Insane – my first order of business will be to, by decree, hereby order, officially, kittens as the least offensive thing here on TBP.
Here is a defense of Trump by Greg Hunter and some economic predictions on the double re-set Sinclair & Holter say is coming by summer.

I am going to put this video here..
A bit off topic but not really…
It was his hat after all that caused all this…
Pure gold, bud.
Very very good find.
I have listened to it as objectively as I could muster and think it is a fine example of a well-composed piece of journalism to show the context of this growing national trainwreck that is gathering steam and coming around the mountain. Thanks, Rob in Nova Scotia.
I particularly recognize the tone of all the celebrities/journalists (same thing… at OU College of Journalistical Studies, we “news and editing” types called the broadcasting department “pretty boy/pretty girl school.”) I used a book in a research project by a George Miller, I think, on the Psychology of Words or something like that. It was written in the 20s or 30s, I think. I chose it because of the author’s supposed relationship with Bernays. I do own the book still, but it is in a big trunk in the barn, on boards near the rooftop. I ain’t climbing a ladder to get it. Ah, dammit… you are gonna make me search for it… not going out there until time to gather forage for little goats.
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/02/us/george-a-miller-cognitive-psychology-pioneer-dies-at-92.html
(OMG>>> I just found out he died the same summer as my Poppa Grooch (2012) and so, now, momentarily, I’m sad. Okay. Done. Life moves on.)
Smart man with at least one good book on the topic of using words convincingly to plant ideas in people’s minds. Even with sounds and tone. Gloom and doom versus lights and fights. Having just been sitting quietly versus raging against the dying light. Using the sounds of words to set tone, introducing themes with word combinations and innuendo. We all do it to some degree, but there is a real science to it, according to Miller. The book I read was one of his early tomes written when television was just beginning to be. I’ve never read his later academic stuff. I liked the communication and psychology stuff, picking and choosing from his really interesting observations, carefully worded.
Always examine the messenger, if you can find them. I figured a guy teaching communication theory at Princeton in the 50s and 60s might be a good place to start looking.
A lot of theory goes into the practice of being persuasive and believable on camera. As in any medium. Even through our own viewpoint. Take a peek through Johari’s Window, paying special attention to the inner viewpoint pane. What do you see there?
The Medium really is the Message.
From the time I was old enough to write, I wanted to write stories. I wrote them and hid them in diary type notebooks scrounged from old school supplies not completely used. I still find little bundles of notes from childhood stories I put together with a type of message in a bundle of scraps of notepaper left for “old” me to find and “remember.”
Do I remember it all right? I don’t know for sure. I may have left a few things out or misinterpreted the image brought to mind.
I suppose Stucky might read this. He is the glop of concrete that holds this platform in place on some days. I think that list of charitable organizations funded by George Soros has a dozen very interesting LEADS. And I don’t remember where I got that list here, but I dumped it into table format and plan to link a few of the names to what they really do. Not really a full scale post, but something that might give others a few LEADS and make a few quantum leaps.
When I was in the J-School, we got credit for turning in leads to the editor of the college paper. They had to be “newsworthy” leads. A lot of the names of the organizations seem to have NOTHING to do with the words in the organization’s title. What is in a name? Well, like a book and its cover, it is often the only thing examined thoroughly by the mass buyer. The “Human Fund” does indeed sound like a worthwhile cause unless you happen to have watched that episode. If you know exactly what that last sentence says, I’ve proven at least part of my point about the medium and the message. My message is lost if the words cannot be comprehended in correct context as written. It is why my wonderful article from the 1990s comparing the charts and graphs at a financial advisement seminar to one of Ross Perot’s infomercials would probably be meaningful to No One.
The list itself is interesting, but within the list are some really newsworthy connections to be made about the global agenda.
Whether we are part of the freaking remnant or whether we are just watching from a good spot on the sidelines, maybe some of us better figure out what to do when the plug gets pulled. I need to get the goats some fresh forage before the rain sets in… they need some fiber. How do I know that?
I muck goat pens for a living now. I just don’t do much writing.
Stucky, I will abide by your wishes out of utmost respect and assume a “new” identity which you may offer advisement toward. In deference to my newly employed son it will need to be simple. I chose no one after failing with meg or other efforts to disassociate with a storyline gone awry. My son thinks someone gave me some bad juju in one of those jars of herbs I pick up here and there. It is possible. And, it is why I think it best to just grow my own herbs, spices and fruits of the vine, as I can.
And take care of my son’s dogs, who guard us in Narnia. (s obsession with privacy and security and his uncanny ability to find me online sometimes… seriously, it bugs me. Stop it.)
HOLY MOLEY… that was a freaking novella. I am sorry but I have to leave this ramble in place. I actually drove the car alone last week. I might go to a post office soon.
As far as “double dee” goes? I lost more than 80 pounds (perhaps 40 on purpose) from last spring to very recently. I can still turn a few heads when I walk toward a crowd, but it is mostly goats, chickens, rabbits and one very devoted man and a bratty boy turned man.
Perhaps DD No More might work?
I liked the ramble because it captures the zeitgeist of current mood. Not really a funk just a peaceful easy feeling…
Spend my days watching wheels and the world going round.
Wow. Very well edited.
What can anyone say when you’ve got ironclad evidence of false witness?
They can’t, and won’t say anything.
To hide the blemish of yet another lie, just one of many, this will be buried for the most part by MSM, in hopes it shall be forgotten.
It won’t be.
It should go viral, and be replayed, with every subsequent, blatant lie they pull out and try to sow to the masses.
Because you know, a new version of the tired old narrative is just around the corner. It’s their modus operandi.
This is the best video yet on this incident 1000+ RiNs.
I’m sending this out to everyone in my inner circle.
@ RiNS,
RE: Video
Definitely not off-topic. On the contrary. It perfectly demonstrates the Electronic Spin & Programming Machine set to the color-wash cycle. Rinse, repeat.
Rarely have I seen the mask torn-away so effectively in one short video. I would hope someone would archive it as it very likely won’t stay up for long on YouTube. The reason is because of it’s potential to open the eyes of the sleeping sheeple. Or it could be Google/YouTube will leave it up because the dark powers want to agitate those who would be most agitated into action at this time.
Let’s wait and see what comes out in the wash
Those Israelites looked and sounded like regulah garden variety, crude, hateful, racist, big mouthed kneegrows. Israel must be far more multicultural and vile than I have been led to believe.
Bea… I spoke with my friend who travels to Israel almost annually, “called” to help gather the salvageable remnant of Israel. I don’t know if THAT remnant has any relationship to THIS Remnant of which some speak, but I do know she and her gaggle of Christian Zionist missionaries will be in Israel for Easter this year, although they will be celebrating Passover incognito. I always keep an eye on the eastern skies when my friend travels to the Holy Land because she tells me stories about the evil spirits in Israel and beyond which make me wonder about all that crazy stuff about realms and time space contiuums.
I am hoping for a smooth and easy transition to DD or something simple and not easy to anthropomorphize. MM could never have gotten up and walked without being called Mickey Mouse.
Lots will come. Moar to see.
Maybe this was all a set up to gas light the media and Trump hating leftists.
It worked like a charm.
The word Galvanized comes to mind for some reason.
But, I feed my animals with a galvanized bucket, so that reminds me that the hay won’t move itself out of the barn and now that I’m able, Nick don’t move it either!!!!!
Hallelujah! Thanks be to Odin.
I meant to put this in my last reply to Uncola, who never had it but always will because some things are intrinsic to one’s nature as any clever coyote from a Plains Indian tribe could tell you.
“When a man is secure in the possession of his property, he has an area of liberty and dominion which is beyond the reach of other men. If no man and no state can reach in to tax and confiscate his property, man can enjoy true liberty and great security, whether he be prosperous or poor. Every attack on private property is, therefore, an attack on man’s liberty. Man’s freedom and security in the possession of his property is not only basic to man’s independence, but it is also basic to his power. A man has power if he can act independently of other men and the state, if he can make his stand in the confidence of liberty. Every attack on private property therefore is also an attack on the powers of free men as well as their liberty.2
I have always loved how the Native American legends end. They just do.
They do not have a summary scene or allow the characters a final bow. They just end. Sometimes well and sometimes badly.
But they know when to let things go and drop it.

Galvanized, I like that word.. very helpful…
There is list of the Nine Noble Virtues in the world of Ásatrú.
1) Courage
2) Truth
3) Honor
4) Fidelity
5) Discipline
6) Hospitality
7) Industriousness
8) Self-Reliance
9) Perseverance
Live by those rules and Liberty is guaranteed.
It galvanizes and protects against the contempt.
By directing it back to where it really should be.
Cheers by the Grace of Odin,
RiNS
I liked both of the 2 immediately above.
So much so, that a C&P to a saved Word doc was archived.
Good stuff.
Rave on, buds
~lags
The story about the coyote is a great one! It made me laugh. Partly because the arrow is on mark…
good one. origin of the quote on property? author?
(in case i overlooked it…it’s been known to happen, from t2t)
A bit off topic but saw this.
Maybe the Overton Window is changing

Glad that Gladys doesn’t listen to Don.
I don’t mean to depart too much from the point of that well thought out article, but it dawned on me towards the end how much THIS consumes us and dictates the choices we make in our everyday lives. An extreme example of this is a personal one. Recently I have grown reluctant to have children, which has always been my main goal in life, because even though on paper I have everything one would want to have prior to having children, I am the type that is a fierce protector of those I love and I don’t know if I could find enough room for all the guns and ammo (j/k) – no, what I was really going to say is I don’t know if I could protect my children from what is likely coming. That’s just an insane factor I never thought I’d have to consider! Now, I’ve fallen for all this shit to the point I’m giving up my freedom as a human being to a group of assholes that do nothing besides outspend the other assholes in order to win elections and control the very destiny of our country and determine who lives and who dies. Fuck this! Grab your guns and let’s start with our states and take back the capitals and expand from there! I recall Madison’s points in Federalist No. 10, in which factions and size of government were among the main topics up for debate. The one thing that stood out to me above everything else all these years after I first read it was the observation that the people we elect to office must always be the best and brightest willing to serve (NOT TO MAKE TENS OF MILLIONS AFTER SPENDING MILLIONS TO GET IN). We haven’t done that in a long long time. I think Trump represents the deep hope and desire we ALL have for someone to somehow infiltrate that incestuous group in D.C. and put them all in their place, call them out for what they are, and finally make choices based on what is good for the lawful citizens of the country and the country itself, instead of making decisions to those that fronted the millions that the elected usually rely on when running. I know what I hope. I know what I feel. I have read the fine print on Trump’s actions. For example, despite voting for him, I wasn’t sure he was really what he was presenting, so I did things like carefully study all his Executive Orders in the first year (some of which I still don’t understand the rationale, which likely means they were done as precautionary considering what he has faced in opposition and that they had no pro or con in any conceivable way to us outsiders – it’s been about 1 1/2 years, but if I recall correctly one that seemed totally bizarre at the time was the E.O. that changed the line of succession for a position I want to say was Attorney General, but can’t recall exactly right now. You can look on the White House site. It’s not the point. What really sold me was the visceral hatred the media and Jews have for him. That’s not fake. What they loathe him for is the unknown. We can make guesses, but that’s all they are. It does make me really wonder though….
Placing this here for the record:
I had to help someone out this evening and so missed Trump’s State of the Union address.
But in watching the pundits on both sides of the aisle tonight, highlights from the speech, as well as the instant poll results – it appears to have been an overall win for the president.
Although he did take further ownership of the economy, he also left himself exit doors when he said:
Furthermore, Trump’s comments on immigration, socialism, and late-term abortion, made his political opponents look like vampires in the sun.
Therefore, given all that, if Trump were real, and if the past is any indicator – then watch for a narrative changing event to occur soon; very likely in the forthcoming 10 days before Trump’s next government shutdown deadline.
Usually, these false flags will simultaneously change the national conversation while providing advancement for the establishment’s agenda; whatever that may be. Mass shootings are a common “go to” because they get covered by all of the media at once and – at the same time, allow the talking heads to promote gun control measures.
But it could be any scandal, leak, indictment, or brushfire abroad that might provide political cover and/or set loose the dogs of war.
Watch. Whatever happens, or doesn’t happen, might be illuminating. We’ll see, because time reveals all things.
