“The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism. The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”
Hannah Arendt
“As in the past so in the future, the wrong we have done, thought, or intended will wreak its vengeance on our souls, no matter whether we turn the world upside down or not.
Our knowledge of good and evil has dwindled with our mounting knowledge and experience, and will dwindle still more in the future, without our being able to escape the demands of ethics. In this utmost uncertainty we need the illumination of a holy and whole-making spirit— a spirit that can be anything but our reason.”
Carl Jung, Psychology and Religion
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.”
Galatians 6:7
“Even great men bow before the Sun; it melts hubris into humility.”
Dejan Stojanovic
“But, what creates the most intense surprise,
His soul looks out through renovated eyes.”
John Keats
“A crash is a watershed event, generational in its scope, always accompanied by an economic slump of greater than a year, often called a depression rather than a recession. Its effects are measured in years. It is a furnace in which the national character is tested and tempered, hammered into something different from what had gone before.”

It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

After the French/Indian War, the British had a large war debt: Within a system that ignores the producers, they chose to bail out elites and bankers. The ‘special ones’ hammered hard against the americans. Those vigorous deplorable producers chose to unburden themselves of the wanna be overlords.
subordination and chains?
or a reset?
rinse, and repeat.
from time to time.
