Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
– Robert Burns
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “Auld Lang Syne” literally translates to “Old Long Since” which could also be interpreted as “since long ago” or “for old times’ sake”. Certainly, there is a feeling of melancholy when the song is sung at the end of another year gone by. Maybe any sadness could be attributed to good times that are now gone or, perhaps, especially, regret at what might have been.
The same goes for inevitable outcomes of unavoidable events, predictable denouements of tragic stories, and the ineluctable death of nations. It calls to mind a quote from the 1994 movie “The Legends of the Fall” when the Native American narrator described how a beautiful young woman caused brothers to hate one another and a family to fragment. He said:
She was like the water that freezes inside a rock and breaks it apart. It was no more her fault than it is the fault of the water when the rock shatters.
Indeed. Natural forces rage over and upon the earth. And who is Man to stop the rain?
A recent article addressing our “hysteric times” identified America as a corpse consumed by maggots, with liberals acting as the maggots and conservatives as “rooting for the corpse”. What an astute analogy. Because the Collective acts to completely consume rotting systems as those wearing MAGA hats perform CPR on a skeleton.
There are those who will say America’s fate was sealed when her government assimilated education, or when the Bible was banned in schools. Others will blame the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, or FDR’s New Deal, or the assassination of JFK, or the advent of The Great Society under Lyndon Johnson.
History buffs might claim the nation began its first convulsions when Abe Lincoln overturned states’ rights in the Civil War era or even earlier than that – when the Federalists overrode the Anti-Federalists in 1788.
Or maybe it was due to the covert implementation of the 45 Communist Goals, or the development of the League of Nations and United Nations.
Perhaps it was the Nixon Shock. Roe v. Wade? Disco? 911? The Patriot Act? Smartphones? Social Media? Foreign wars? Too big to fail? Political correctness? Illegal immigration? The exponentially growing national debt? Corruption in the CIA, FBI, DoJ and other alphabet soup government agencies?
In truth, it could’ve been any, and all, of the above or maybe these were just the symptoms of something deeper and more profound. In any case, they were all cracks and water in the nation’s foundation. And as was expected, winter is finally here.
Exactly how and when America’s foundational stones will shatter in the coming months is anyone’s guess, but do know this: When Progressive Democrats, and an activist mainstream media, stage a third-world impeachment trial of a U.S. President while reverently citing the words of the nation’s long-dead founders who were, by their own definition, privileged white males and racist slave owners – the end is nigh.
So it was no surprise when several days ago, in a buffet line, this blogger overheard an overweight man tell an obese woman the following:
“Poor Trumpy. He got hisself impeached.”
To which the woman replied with a Cheshire-cat grin of satisfaction: “Yep! History will always show that he was impeached“.
One wonders if these citizens were aware of President Trump’s December 17, 2019 letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It was sent the day before the impeachment vote and it said, in part, the following:
I write to express my strongest and most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being pursued by the Democrats in the House of Representatives. This impeachment represents an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by Democrat Lawmakers, unequaled in nearly two and a half centuries of American legislative history.
The Articles of Impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not recognizable under any standard of Constitutional theory, interpretation, or jurisprudence. They include no crimes, no misdemeanors, and no offenses whatsoever. You have cheapened the importance of the very ugly word, impeachment!
By proceeding with your invalid impeachment, you are violating your oaths of office, you are breaking your allegiance to the Constitution, and you are declaring open war on American Democracy…
….You are the ones interfering in America’s elections. You are the ones subverting America’s Democracy. You are the ones Obstructing Justice. You are the ones bringing pain and suffering to our Republic for your own selfish personal, political, and partisan gain…
…. Any member of Congress who votes in support of impeachment – against every shred of truth, fact, evidence, and legal principle – is showing how deeply they revile the voters and how truly they detest America’s Constitutional order. Our Founders feared the tribalization of partisan politics, and you are bringing their worst fears to life.
Worse still, I have been deprived of basic Constitutional Due Process from the beginning of this impeachment scam right up until the present. I have been denied the most fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution, including the right to present evidence, to have my own counsel present, to confront accusers, and to call and cross-examine witnesses ….
Do the people care? Evidently not. And, unsurprisingly, House Speaker Pelosi called the 6-page letter “ridiculous” and “really sick” as some polls now show 54% of American’s supporting Trump’s forced removal from office.
It means there is no coming back from this one. The damage is done.
It means, by any definition, perilous times are here; and that predictably programmed dialectics will prevent either side from accepting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. Surely, the ANTIFA crowd will be rioting in the streets in the event of a Trump win. And, if Trump loses and contests the results over wrongful impeachment, illegal immigration, vote fraud, or any other reason – the rioting of the collectivists will be even worse.
It also means that if Trump loses, a large percentage of the U.S. population will not accept the tyranny of the Political Left; because if the Progs are now willing to engage in such nefarious deeds as recently demonstrated on Capitol Hill with the impeachment sham, and in states like Virginia regarding gun control, imagine what happens when they win the power to legislate socialist hell from sea to shining sea.
Understandably, therefore, many natives have become increasingly angry and restless; and this may also be due to the fact that Epstein didn’t kill himself.
For example, at a recent election rally for Joe Biden, a random nobody in the audience called out the former vice president of the United States regarding his corrupt involvement in Ukraine. The heckler, additionally, yelled to Biden as one of the leading presidential candidates in the Democratic primaries:
“YOUR SON IS A CRACKHEAD, JOE! WHADDEYA THINK ABOUT THAT?”
Yet, in spite of the heckler’s accurate statements, the Biden supporters in the audience began chanting: “WE WANT JOE! WE WANT JOE!”
Yes, America is dead because her citizens love lies more than fast food, opiates, and ice cream.
Apparently, so, too, do American institutions today. It’s why the FISA court has refused to hold anyone accountable at the FBI in the aftermath of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s stunning report on FISA abuse during the 2016 Presidential Election; why a TV news network, in an Orwellian manner, identified Trump as the leader of a “destructive cult”, using “mind control” on Americans”; and why the U.S. Senate may deny the president his right to confront his accusers.
Certainly, U.S. Attorney John Durham may plumb the depths of the Russiagate rabbit hole but his report is not due to be delivered until late spring or early summer 2020. Even then, one wonders if Americans will have the stomach to digest it fully; that is, of course, if the corporate media spinners choose to spoon-feed any of Durham’s findings to the imprudent plebes.
Ask yourself these questions, Dear Reader: Do American’s have the political will to actually drain the swamp? What happens when the economy tanks in 2020? Do you think they’ll desire to root out any corruption then?
Or stated another way: Do the current measurable demographics in America today identify a sufficient percentage of the body politic as having the necessary moral outrage, and the courage, to sustain real swamp draining? And will the current demographics significantly change in the New Year as fiat green confetti rains down over Wall Street and onto Main Street?
Regardless, it has become clear that those at the top of the pyramid, as well as their minions comprising the Political Left, care not to consider the historical view of their actions. It could be because they are now desperate as cornered animals. Or maybe it’s because they believe they’ll soon be the victors who will rewrite history. And perhaps from their perspective, these are not mutually exclusive.
Even so, take heart. America’s fate may have long been sealed, but the ideas that originally made the country great will never die. Many will rise to meet the collective tide and even if victory is not assured under Trump’s presidency – his election will prove to have been a crucial catalyst toward that end.
Until that time, trust nothing reported by the Orwellian Media, remain ever skeptical, and never overestimate the American Sheeple. One day, in their wake, new mini-republics might rise and become known en masse as Nobullshitopia. Because then, and only then, can we stand united.
In the meantime, cheers to the New Year as we raise our glasses to the like-minded near and far. The past is a bright dream, and hope is the future’s fixed star.
Why does that title just hurt my heart?
Suggest reading about militia strategy.
Doug laid it out pretty well. We are “rooting for the corpse” that we knew and loved.
Isn’t that kinda like necrophilia?
That article is meant to demoralize. There are lessons to be learned. I’m not in a “militia” nor do I intend to join one. However, if you read WRSA, The Captains Journal or others like it, you know that people are training, planning and they have also studied the mistakes of the past.
TPTB want us demoralized. Then it’s easy for them to continue the “death by a thousand cuts” plan.
You notice that Trump has said nothing about what is going on in Virginia. He is for gun control. He always has been.
There are plenty of obese dummies out there like the ones that Doug overheard talking. They want to be slaves. What was the percentage of people that wanted to rebel against the crown? 3 percent?
We watch as the French continue their year long protest against the elite. It’s quite a bit easier for them to gather in Paris because France is so much smaller than the US. Maybe no more than an 8 hour drive from the farthest point to Paris. That won’t happen here. It will be different here. We always do things differently here because we are not like anyone else in the world.
“That article is meant to demoralize.”
yes, it is. and it works, because it’s largely true.
It does nothing whatsoever for those living within the protections of divine law.
One of the I Hate Trump books I read this year makes the case that 1) DJT has no governance skills and just does not care about decision making unlike most prior presidents and 2) therefore Ivanka and her husband-both Jewish Democrats-influence most of the policy actions he does take.
One wise person here mentioned a while back that she likes Trump the campaigner but not so much Trump the president. I look forward to his upcoming campaign messages about hot button promises from 2016 that have yet to be met.
If he wants to hit a home run he should flip the impeachment mess into a visible swamp cleaning exercise-he’s got Barr and Durham on base, so with their help he can score some much needed runs, especially since the Wall is not going to happen, immigration is can kicking, and-as you say-his gun control stance is worrisome.
The d-rats will be smarter in 2020; if he wants to win he needs to get some solid results to compliment his arm waving. The Republican establishment is going to be severely tested-if they do not come through with anti-impeachment support as well as running a strong 2020 campaign then that party is going to be toast for a long, long time.
The truth is hard to take for most, just like a cheating spouse, you suspect something but you really don’t want to accept it. America has had many corrupt people over time, but in the last 150 years it has become like a plague of corruption in all fifty states at every level of government, and than there is the corporations that are corrupt, and they buy politicians, accountants, organized criminals and lawyers to do their dirty work. It’s a very pathetic mess that only a miracle from God could fix.
The intervention from God will be divine inspiration and maybe the right weather event at the right moments. Everything will be riding on divine inspiration though, it is the supreme protection of law -the protections of divine law.
For those who think large organized militias preparing for armed battles are necessary or desireable, it is clear that they are not living within protections of divine law.
If one conteplates all scenarios to victory it is clear that large battles are the enemies strength. You don’t win by fighting an enemy on their strengths, you win by learning and exploiting their vulnerabilities.
But we are no where near gaining the protections of divine law en masse. We are much closer to receiving God’s wrath through the divine inspiration of tyrants to reduce ys to absolute despotism for our collective lawlessness. If we want the protections of divine law en masse then we need to understand how law functions, exercise the law and demonstrate to the supreme judge of the world that we are deserving of divine providence. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO VICTORY.
I learned of crimes institutionalized amongst criminals in the gov in California, I collected mountains of evidence, built a case and took that case to the grand jury. The secretary working in the Grand Jury office said that in her 27 years of working there I was the ONLY ONE who had ever come there seeking access to the Grand Jury seeking a case. Long story short, I never got to access the Grand Jury, I figured I probably wouldn’t because I had evidence the DA’s where committing misprision but I did inform them, courts and DA, that there actions made it official that the gov had been overthrown because equal access to justice was denied and criminals were being protected. This is the point where a militia and press where warranted but there was no militia to call on to uphold the equal protections of law. The fact that I was ONE in 27 years (maybe longer) with rampant criminal injury and warfare being levied by them showed me that the people themselves are lawless – they have given up the protections of law. One important point that did happen is that I gained MANY allies who worked inside the courts – true believers who saw the corruption around them everyday INSIDE the courthouse and state attorneys offices. The allies began to feed me INTELLIGENCE about the who, what, when, where, how of the criminal psychopaths. This was divine law, divine inspiration, in action. I knew there was a low probability of being able to access the Grand Jury but I had the divine inspiration to BEAR WITNESS TO GOD. The only wuestion remaining was whether it was the people guilty of misprision and dismantling the law or the perpetraitors of the crimes.
The point here is that we have equal protections of law and lawful process for remedy. The bar conspirators have seized that process, reinterpreted EQUAL JUSTICE as only bar members having access (with a threat of losing their bar card looming over them -blackmail) but the injury and criminal acts is being conducted by those bar conspirators, which means that if a real Grand Jury finds valid cause for action then REMOVING the bar conspirators from determing whether cause is valid AND REMOVING them from presiding over cases against them MUST BE ADDRESSED by the Grand Jury.
A nations laws are inspired by GOD, we MUST seek remedy through the lawful process FIRST if we wish to have divine providence. WHOMEVER SEEKS TO CIRCUMVENT GOD’S ORDAINED DESIGN WILL RECEIVE JUDGEMENT AND GOD’S WRATH.
What do you guys think is going to happen when hundreds of thousands of people are lining up at the grand juries offices each with their own case file and valid cause for action? No one has really even tried. Do you really believe the supreme judge of the world believes you are worthy to uphold the protections of law if you haven’t even tried to uphold them? If you don’t even know them? Do you think you deserve any divine inspiration whatsoever to win divine providence without ever even trying to properly use the very processes (Constitution securing the blessings of liberty) you claim to hold so dear?
There is much more to all of this that gets into intelligence gathering and pathways to victory but I am done for now. You guys really need to end the hypocritical bs before you contemplate going to play army.
I think someone, somewhere-and probably not acting as a militia unit-will intervene should gun confiscation begin. It may develop like the yellow vest movement or maybe like well concealed rogues selectively fighting back when they have the clear advantage. Call it making a statement, or maybe call it Chapter 1. Hard to know at this point.
You think? In Oklahoma, I got into the 912 organization conceived by Glenn Beck. Whatever you think about Glenn and his weepy ways, he is genuinedly sincere, I think, though he relies a bit too much on his chalkboard org charts, which I always hated.
Anyway, our group kind of split into two types… the Communal Living group which purchased 600 acres of land close to Stratford and various efforts toward homes, outbuildings and animal pens was begun. I wasn’t the least bit interested in living in a big happy group in Muskogee, or the other group, the underground group, which placed several shipping containers underground, furnished and stocked, in an endeavor which cost more than one million dollars, the architect of that doomstead told me.
I have pictures.
Hypocrisy is advising people not to contest an enemy by charging their high ground naked and then charging Full Metal Quixote into the ‘Just Us’ system’s Grand Jury Windmill dick-first.
Imagining that judicial gears will freeze up because many thousands follow you into a Grand Jury’s whirling blades for a society-altering indictment is delusional hypocrisy.
No law enforcement agency, judicial system or legal code exists to protect people. All three, in no matter what form, have a uniform history of unfairly persecuting and prosecuting the penniless, protecting the rich, and thumbing their noses at Divine Inspiration, Divine Intervention, Divine Providence and your Dire Divine Prognostications.
Sure, Mother Earth, a hellava lot more sentient than the average Fulbright Scholar and Divine in Her own rights, will eventually stop our insults by shaking her rug. It won’t matter whether you are evil or righteous, it’ll be group punishment, Her dust in everybody’s eyes.
It won’t be Divine Anything for Anyone.
I am fully aware of the tyranny and how it works.
I have no delusions in regards to a society altering indictment either. There is a fairly excellent chance of a just-us altering indictments IF people built criminal cases superior in effort and detail to their cases.
You seem to cowar in fear not believing in the rights endowed upon you by your creator. If you don’t believe in your rights then how can they exist? If you believe that you can’t prevail in peace then how could you ever believe that you could prevail in war? What would be the point of war if you already believe you can’t prevail in peace?
Do you believe that the pursuit righteous justice will bear no fruit even if the intended destination isn’t achieved? Their is much good useful fruit to be obtained. God will delivery the good intel needed for those who pursue faithfully.
I can tell you from extensive experience that the judges are FULLY AWARE OF DIVINE LAW AND DIVINE PROVIDENCE and they are fully aware of how they can lose it. They know that it is their DIVINE DUTY TO IMPLEMENT TYRANNY UPON THOSE WHO CONSENT TO SLAVERY. If you don’t understand this then you have NO IDEA what is ACTUALLY going on with our courts. They are waiting and wanting for you to wake up and uphold the law while at the same time wanting to dominate and punish every slave before them.
Ignore the protections of law and the protections of law will ignore you too. Do you think you can win a war while ignoring law? If you think so then you lost before you ever started.
Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.
Nobody?
Who are You?
Are you Nobody, Too?
Seriously, I just read something you wrote that was fascinating and wish I had time to devote to studying Nobody but I feel like God just slapped me in the head and said it’s time.
There’s two of us, don’t tell…
I’m not repeating any of it anymore, but I had a sit-down meeting with a General, her Executive Finance Officer, and a few other whoop tee doo types. I had a programmer with me from Utah who could explain the ghost in the machine which was placed there to doctor the records so nobody could see what was really going on. General got promoted, programmer returned to Utah and I got laid off with a pretty nice severance package for someone who just exposed my own Program Manager’s incompetence. Wasn’t trillions, but many hundreds of billions.
Now, I’m living here in the suburbs of the sticks, just happy to be.
Saw this on Doug’s site. PURE UNCOLA GOLD! Chip
The United States is no more and that is quite clear. What is not clear is what will come after it. Civil conflict is almost assured. If the ‘Black Face’ Governor of Virginia comes after citizens who are lawfully armed then the conflict will erupt. If he should dare to bring in UN troops as proxies then it will be full scale civil war. I advise him to re-consider and find a more peaceful way of dealing with the situation.
Remember the shot that was fired at Bunker Hill? That is part of our present moment. The present moment can spread to many years as people that live in the pacific islands know very well about WW2.
Virginia is a time capsule that may well be opened by an unsuspecting new legislature walking unknowingly into a fire storm.
We will see.
You are making a lot of sense. Am watching u.
Maybe they are hoping to provoke some violence to sway the case from NYC about the 2A that is being heard by the SCOTUS ; among other reasons.
There is no way this Virginia governor and his newly elected flying monkeys are tossing this frag into the deplorable doorway on their own.
I don’t think it is just a probe. The Bolsheviks are Luciferian grunts, and I believe the Luciferians want conflict, causalities, and chaos. They are going to ‘try’ and send in their grunts to stir the pot.
Something I just realized with the upcoming 2A rally in Richmond on a Monday, January 20th:
See this link: Virginia Citizens Defense League
https://www.vcdl.org/event-3647199
Isn’t that MLK Day? I wonder if there will be any competing rallies.
And why not hold it on a Saturday when people don’t have to lose a day of work, I would think many more would show up on a Saturday as opposed to a Monday?
Screw the Government!
Watched it again yesterday…
Trump is NOT Our savior.
Let me tell you about a Defense Pact, being cobbled together by Netanyahu and Pompeo, which should have the hairs on the back of your neck standing up and shivering:
Netanyahu, Pompeo Push Forward With US-Israel Defense Pact https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/net…defense-pact/258322 And here is the most utterly terrifying line in the whole article:
“Details of the pact aren’t clear, beyond it committing the US to war to defend Israel.”
Couple that with Trump’s EO elevating Judaism ABOVE CHRISTianity and you have a Traitor of Historic Proportions.
I have to wonder if the whole Jewish dominated “impeachment” is a distraction to cover the fact Trump is betraying America to Israel. Like a magician waving his left hand while picking your pocket with his right.
The greatest betrayal of Christ Jesus since the KISS of Judas Iscariot.
Trump’s “SUPER SUPERIORITY” Executive Order for Jews. The order will effectively interpret Judaism as a nationality, not just a religion, to trigger a federal law penalizing colleges and universities, and soon expand to cover Worshiping CHRIST since Judaism has hated and attacked Christ for 2,000 years.
For the first time since Emperor Constantine recognized Christianity in the 300th Year of Our Lord, Christians are relegated to SECOND CLASS CITIZENSHIP. 1700 years and JUDAS ISCARIOT again betrays CHRIST.
The first step in legalizing State sponsored Christian Persecution.
Trump has set the legal precedent for the subjugation of Christianity.
Trump just set the legal foundation for the TRIBULATION so many fret about.
Crosses on Churches ALREADY “offend” Jews . … so do Nativities, Carols, Trees …. Where do you think the “War on CHRISTmas” originates? Jews refuse to acknowledge Jesus or the NEW Testament and Trump just handed them the weapon to attack.
Talk about “War on Christmas” … Like King Herod attempting to murder the Baby Jesus, King Trump has launched an attack on CHRISTianity by Officially Legalizing the elevation of Judaism ABOVE Christ, just 13 DAYS before CHRISTmas.
The USA has a “National Menorah” but NOT a “National Nativity”
There is a Christmas Tree but that is nothing but a DECORATION .
Wouldn’t this mean savvy Christians could self-identify as Jews and take advantage of these protections?
You have quite the imagination..this is boringly repetitive as are all your sad ramblings. Never mind blaming Trump, Christians are second class citizens because of small minded people like you chasing their tails and blaming hobgoblins instead of minding their own house while it’s being overrun by leftist rats. Grab a mirror, that’s where the problem lies.
How is talking to a mirror sane?
Snow White’s stepmom did it.
You around today? Am trying a sneak attack on 400.
ICU
Maybe talking to a mirror isn’t sane ( who’s to say?), but it’s the only way for me to pick up on my non-verbal cues.
I only do it when I’m feeling chatty.
398 yippee kay aye… I’m the Gingerbread Man!
The United States of America is the only nation in human history established by mostly Christian people, founded upon 2,000 years of Christian thought, Reformation preaching and Biblical Natural Law principles—and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law. This truth is easily observed within America’s earliest history.
Destroy Christianity …. to destroy all RIGHTS
Human Dignity and RIGHTS are unique to Christianity and BORN of Christ’s love.
Christianity was the faith of the Slaves, Poor, and Down Trodden from It’s first days,
the source of GOD given RIGHTS because Christ’s People had no Rights ….
Human RIGHTS are not a concept of judaism or islam,
Both judaism and islam are primitive tribalism born of conquest, genocide, and pillage.
They are both War Tribes and as such the individual is subserviant to the group,
all they know is obedience to their TRIBAL gods & self-worshiping self-written laws.
… the Left insists there is NO CHRIST so they can deny your GOD given RIGHTS.
“…because her (America’s) citizens love lies more than ice cream…”
That was particularly profound, wasn’t it?
I would never have thought to frame it that way, but once you articulated it what more could you add?
In a nutshell, that’s the very root of it all. None of the other outrages could have ever found a toehold had it not been for that moral weakness, and sadly, it’s true.
Who is the Emperor of Ice Cream who has convinced us soybeans and corn syrup make good ice cream product.
And cheese product.
And even meat.
Who invented the FDA and empowered it to poison us?
And realize FDA is Food and Drug Administration, overseeing the biggest tub of elephant dung ever sold to mankind masquerading as processed food and licensed pharmaceuticals.
That is when Americans traded Ice Cream for Lies, in my opinion. Which formed based on childhood socialization.
Seriously. If you look into the regulations which allowed high fructose corn syrup (a waste product, basically) to be approved for use in processed foodstuffs*, you will discover a group of bureaucrats whose entrenchment in our national policymaking process is cemented in the early 1970s. The same bastards who sent our blood treasure into the jungles of Vietnam based on lies also decided to recycle toxic waste from processing plants and repackage it as TV dinners.
I’m thinking 1971 was a very bad year, much like last year turned out to be, from both a national and international perspective.
*foodstuffs. Like Velveeta is processed cheese food product, NOT cheese. Put enough HFCS in anything and people will think it tastes good.
While some conservatives are attempting to push the swarming maggots out of the way so they can perform CPR on the corpse of America……many of us understand that the founding principles are sound but as you point out, the character of a plurality of citizens is weak. Thus we cannot “MAGA” by aggressive CPR we must refound a new nation on our original principles. Unfortunately, there are many painful moments between now and a new 1776. America 2.0 may not occur at all so I suggest living as you see fit, on your own terms starving the beast as much as possible. HSF is the epitome of this model.
This fight has never been about Trump as Doug points out, this fight is for the guiding/organizing principles on which we choose to govern ourselves. Can man rule himself or must he be ruled? Far too many are willing to be ruled if they can waddle up to an all you can eat buffet line for $9.99. May their chain sit lightly upon them, assuredly their belts will not.
@ MH,
If anyone were to ask why I post articles, I would tell them one big reason is because of comments like yours above.
Thank you. In my humble and nonessential opinion, that one was like…
Thanks, I have enjoyed your articles and learned a lot from them!
I always thought it was the free snow cone at the end of the game.
you really don’t want to miss this one… unless you want to diss it!
“This fight has never been about Trump” is exactly why I support the man, even with his flaws. He has done more as a disrupter to illustrate how corrupt our government is than anyone before. The alternative-especially as it existed in 2016-is total capitulation of our way of life.
Yes, one must govern oneself and all of the nasty, evil, vengeful, cheating, lying impulses shared by all men before one can govern anyone else. To believe that those in positions of “governance” possess the self-restraint or good character necessary to refrain from tyranny is just plain crazy and Trump is included in that lot. That is why this entire country, now based on the premise (yes, even under Trump) that the “job” of the government is to provide for all of one’s needs and desires like a fairy godmother instead of protecting one’s rights, is long dead and gone. It really must collapse under the weight of its own sinfulness, greed, envy, violence, evil. Only moral men are capable of self-governance. Americans have long since forgotten that universal truth.
you can also throw in complacency and laziness (both physical and intellectual).
With all due respect, Uncola, stay away from the Buffet. Unless you’re there for some social experimenting, no good comes from eating glyphosate, GMO, non-organic, polyunsaturated fatty ridden foods.
I agree all this turmoil, corruption and despair we currently face in America, is really a cry for help from BOTH sides of the aisle. Those who can change the course for good have not been pushed against the wall hard enough. Maybe instead of America’s destruction, current events lead to liberation. Until then, at least my mind remains free.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

You never disappoint.
To: Doug “Uncola” Lynn;
YOU SUCK IT BIG TIME! WE’RE HANGING THE TRAITORS AND TAKING THE REPUBLICK BACK. WE’RE ARMED AND EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS!
JW,
When I write these articles, I often approach them like I’m the guy in those internet “prove me wrong” memes – I’m order to generate discussion and, hopefully, even be proven wrong.
To take back the republic you will need to do much more than merely hanging the traitors. And that’s all I was sayin’ over here
“To take back the republic you will need to do much more than”
indeed. can’t save a republic if it no longer has any adherent citizens.
You’re NOT doing squat
and you are?

” It means there is no coming back from this one. The damage is done. ”
No truer words, Doug. A nation torn to shreds by special interests and criminal cartels controlling the purse strings cannot suddenly remold itself as one nation under anything. Franklin knew this day would come.
The nation is torn apart by selfishness alone..
It manifests itself in many ways.
Perversion
Pride
Laziness
Ignorance
Coveting
Violence
Theft
Power
Control
Etc…

Seven deadly sins:
Anger
Envy
Gluttony
Greed
Lust
Pride
Sloth
Can be overcome by practicing seven cardinal virtues:
Charity
Faith
Fortitude
Hope
Justice
Prudence
Temperance
Virtue must be practiced, and is never, ever perfected. I would have included one other among those seven virtues: humility – perhaps the singular virtue because it is the beginning of repentance and wisdom. This nation has no humility.
Olde Ben could see the future alright Sort of like George Carlin

Doug, Your years end musing was for me, just as it has been throughout this trip around the sun, worthy of my time. Thanks.
While I have endeavored to live, speak, and honor truth, a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer on Thanksgiving assures that in 2020, the fight that is paramount for me, will no longer hinge upon any and all of the treasonous acts being perpetuated on this once great nation.
I could use the respite. Auld Lang Syne, indeed.
I wish you well, Wyatt. May you be comforted and encouraged by those around you and, no matter what, remain grateful
evenespecially during rough days.Wyatt, never, ever give up. I’ve met people who have healed from ALS. Use your time to research. Natural remedies. They are out there. Start with Turmeric, MMS, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MggxikOZN80. Believe.
This one truly shows promise… If faced with cancer, I’d try it.
Oklahoma grandfather who claims a drug for DOGS cured him of ‘head-to-toe’ cancer is tumor-free two years after doctors gave him three months to live
Joe Tippens, of Oklahoma was diagnosed with late-stage small cell lung cancer in 2016
By January 2017, it had spread throughout his body
Joe’s life expectancy was three months, but doctors enrolled him in a clinical trial that they hoped could give him up to a year longer
A veterinarian suggested he try the dog de-worming drug, fenbendazole, which has shown cancer-fighting properties in cell studies
By May 2017, all cancer had disappeared from Joe’s scans
Now, two years later, he is still cancer free and Oklahoma medical researchers plan to look into Joe’s case
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6965325/Oklahoma-grandfather-claims-drug-DOGS-cured-cancer-tumor-free.html
Plan to look into it?
woof
He will probably develop an irresistible urge to walk around in a circle three times before laying down.
Lol! If that’s the only side effect, then it’s worth it.
I just realized I know a few people in Edmond…I’ll email and ask.
no replies… but I did have “someone” tell me they heard flea and tick shampoo kills crabs.
Regardless of the times I follow my conscience, stay awake and abide by the following:
Faith Love Hope
Faith of consciousness is freedom
Faith of feeling is weakness
Faith of body is stupidity
Love of consciousness evokes the same in response
Love of feeling evokes the opposite
Love of body depends only on type and polarity
Hope of consciousness is strength
Hope of feeling is slavery
Hope of body is disease
A Legominism by Ashiata Shiemash
The world we live in is always in a state of change and flux. We in the biosphere are born, mature, age gracefully or rot, then comes death; only to become food for a new birth. Such is the nature of life for everything under the sun on this earth.
What matters most is not the past; nor the future, but rather the present moment and our mindfulness of what is really important to focus our attention on.
The ones awake live among a population of sleeping people where shit just happens and cognitive dissonance is the order of the day.
For those that are awake faith in one’s own consciousness to guide them is freedom and hope is strength to see through the illusions and lies before us.
We live in a dramatic world in a body that thinks, feels, and experiences sensations. We are born in a world of sensations and as our reptile brain stem develops into our limbic brain lobe we experience emotions and then into our neocortex we begin to think.
Such is the mammalian body our creator furnished us to navigate and learn in this world of matter. Our first responsibility is to procreate to keep the biosphere growing which life on this planet is the only reality that defies the second law of thermodynamics. In other words the order of life continues to grow while everything else including nation states run down and fall into disorder.
This is an important lesson we have to learn. Nations and governments come and go. They are fictions formulated in consciousness. It has a life that is born, matures, then rots and dies.
What does this tell us?
We are a Monad spirit installed into a mammalian body by our creator for the purpose of becoming an individual to do the great work that our creator has ready for us to do. To become an individual one has to wake up in consciousness.
What we see around us is conflicting patterns associated with the development of mind. Right now in the collective consciousness of the people there exists a naive dualism that cannot go beyond polarity which demonstrates as what we call the left and the right or liberal and conservative.
At the present moment Our people and our Nation is at a crossroad. A dymanic event is about to happen that is going to shake the foundation of our country along with the foundation of our collective thinking about who we are and what our purpose is.
It seems that we are again living in the time of Noah when a flood came and wiped out the people. Only this time the flood is in the form of information flooding the consciousness of people and causing the cognitive dissonance we see in the people today. Our binary thinking in polarities cannot handle this flood of information. And certainly our rotting institutions cannot handle this.
So what can we expect?
As the old saying goes… one cannot make a silk purse out of souse ears. Therefore we will see the collapse of our general government and institutions. Then in the aftermath the awake ones will build a new system based on relatedness with the activity leading to subsistence and potentiality of a systematic order that promotes individuality.
We go from the fruit of the Tree of good & evil that causes death to participate in the fruit of the Tree of Life leading to eternal life.
We have come to the point in our history over thousands of years in the development of mind where a transformation is coming around the world in the consciousness of man.
The nation state in it’s present form is dead. Corporatism in it’s present state is dead. Out of the ashes of our institutions new ones will form. New life will be born out of the rotting corpses of our past belief systems. In the new systems our conscience buried deep in our subconscious by our creator will come to the surface of our objective consciousness and will guide us.
See you on the other side.
Sow’s ears.
Its 2 times.
Otherwise, excellent.
“A dymanic event is about to happen ….”
Dymanic – Definition? Moving Insanity?
I like this new word
Is similar to Diangle, which is how Einstein conceived moving through time and space in the fifth dimension… on the diangle of the cube.
The USA is dying and won’t be saved.
This was all planned long ago,
Ed… nothing was planned it just happened. The constitution of the united States was planned and debated by our forefathers but it didn’t work out. Then administrative law was planned out in the 20th century by congress under Roosevelt and it is not working out.
All these documents require a population of awake people to make them work. The USA is a strawman just like our strawman is under administrastive law. All names under caps. Strawmen are dead men.
We are a nation of dead men living under dead laws that are administrated by dead man. A dead system , such as the one we live under is not run by responsible people because dead men are not responsible. See why no one in government is prosecuted?
So you say the USA a strawman is dying? How so when it is already dead?
The way out of our dilemma is to get rid of all the strawmen and the wizards behind the curtain that are manipulating them.
But how to do that when the majority of the population is sleeping behind their transmitting utility called their strawman?
What I see coming is a tragic event soon that will wake enough people up to shake this dead system off us.
I’ve known about the plan for fifty years, you can say it wasn’t planned but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t.
50 years? That’s when administrative law really took hold of the country. Men may plan but it doesn’t mean their plans work out. A good plan should work out and bring order weather it involves slavery or freedom.
Where is the order today? What I see today is a dysfunctional government, corrupted institutions, a failing educational system, crumbling infrastructure, growing social problems involving drug use, lack of affordable housing, an underpaid work force, increasing poverty , deceasing intellect, and much more.
No sane man would plan for this. And no insane man could plan for this. It happened because people let it happen.
In the universe everything except our biosphere; that thin layer of life that covers the crust of the earth and lives in the oceans, runs down. And so it is with our social systems when we ignore them.
A plan comes with a vision. A vision looks at the total picture like looking down a mountain into a valley with a forest. What vision did you see 50 years ago?
My grandfather told me of the planned end of the US and the rise of China as the next great world power when I was a child.
It’s been rather interesting watching it all play out over my lifetime exactly as I was told.
The US is entering the final stage now.
Ed – It has happened before and was documented in the year of our founding.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over a loss of fiscal responsibility, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world’s great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith,
From spiritual faith to great courage,
From courage to liberty,
From liberty to abundance,
From abundance to selfishness,
From selfishness to complacency,
From complacency to apathy,
From apathy to dependency,
From dependency back again to bondage.”
The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic BY Alexander Fraser Tytler 1776
Bondage, here we come!
Back in the early 60s there was this rummer going around that said one day the US would become like the Soviet Union and Russia would become like the US. It has been interesting watching that rummer play out. Russia is now building christian churches; 400 under Putin, and now Putin saying to us why do we want to be like the old Soviet system as our democratic party is so trying to make happen.
Your grandfather seems to be right about China and yes I see the US going back to be just another country among many. I know China plans in decades. The new silk road plan is a 70 year plan. And China plans in the interest of China so I suspect your grand father was right. He must have known something about China.
Was your grand father in the Korean War or was he in the China theater under General Stilwell?
My family didn’t go to war they sent others to war, my grandfather had enough of it which is why he unloaded on me I guess.
Yes, the spread of Abrahamism is all in there, they are right now creating a new version of the Bible just for China distribution. Religion is the opium of the masses. You can’t control the lives of the masses unless you can control their afterlives.
There was a rummer going around? Is that a person who runs rum?
The vision is satanic that’s how/why.
I,m glad I touched a nerve by all the negative responses I got from the above comment.
Yes, the deep state has planned and schemed for over 100 years the destruction of the US. Is Trump our savior? Will Mark Taylor’s visions prove correct? I pray to God that His justice will prevail in our country, and that He will give me a believing heart regarding the restoration of this once great country. I have to admit, after all the evil that has transpired, I have absolutely NO confidence that our country can be save.
Wayne, the deep state is made up of dead men using dead laws to their advantage. God’s justice is not man’a justice so don’t expect His justice to restore the past as it was. And why should we go back to a past that led us to our present state of dysfunction? This is not progress.
In the “Lords Prayer” it states “Thy Will Be Done” not ours.
You have NO confidence that our country can be saved? I would be concerned about my own soul being saved. Countries come and go. A lost soul is a grave matter.
Remember you live in an ever changing world. Don’t pray for the past. Instead pray for your Will to conform with the Will of our creator.
No, not “Auld Lang Syne” Uncola; I can’t seem to erase the Guy Lombardo and The Canadians sound from the visual. The death of the U.S.A. is infinitely more serious and cosmically chilling business.
An appropriate score for the end of America is, ironically, possibly the towering genius masterwork of Wagner: astounding, profound and divine”Seigfried’s Death and Funeral March” from “Gotterdammerung.”
Either that or the dénouement”Commendatore” scene from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” (maybe even more appropriate due to the astonishing profligacy of the U.S.A. for the last 60 years.) George Washington as the Commendatore spirit is a most fitting personage.
I think an economic collapse will create gangs and desperate hungry people who didn’t prepare in any way. This is what I see dealing with. My greenhouse will draw these folks like flys.
Live like the Government doesn’t exist.
The hungry desperate people will either commit suicide or die. These people have very little will power.
The gangs are a different story.
There is strength in numbers and the gangs understand this concept quite well. Stay away from democrat run urban centers.
Or get friendly with a farmer.
Paula is flirting with Hardscrabble.
Lol…
I got mono just interacting with her on FF.
That was uncalled for… I was just about to say nice things about you, too. For free.
Pretty difficult to do though I agree we all need to try
Power is the upmost corrupting force. Those that have it will often fall into the dictatorial mode, feeling that if they had all the power they could rush through their vision and their would be no need for any other government.
For those that know Trump is not the savior or file leader that either side pushes should also know that if the 4th Turning proves to be accurate – the Gray Champion – is neither. The Gray is strictly speaking, a catalyst due in part to the unbending nature of their own opinions built upon their own self confidence, else they would fold and not be the catalyst. In the end, however, it has always been the stirring of the people and their rising up that was needed to force the turn… the Gray Champion did not lead – only spoke the words that stirred the fire. The fire has been stirred and all events have come to light for more than 3% of the population.
The beliefs that the LEO or NatGuard or UN are in any better shape than the average American, however, are hilarious. Has anyone actually seen their local police force or a metro force? They forces are made up large portions of small females, beta-males or out of weight officers. The police force of the past with competent officers are on swat teams…perhaps 1 in 10 of any force even resembles a police force. The NatGuard is much the same and who needs to comment on the UN… what they do have is supply lines, support and a spy grid. None of these are impossible to handle, the real question is how long will the fire burn.
Anon says:
In Robert A. Heinlein’s book “Stranger in a Strange Land” the story’s protagonist, Valentine Michael Smith, was raised by Martian’s then brought to a U.S. military hospital for further study. I remember a part in the narrative where Smith acknowledged that the mysterious and shadowy inhabitants of Mars had been contemplating for centuries whether or not to lay waste the earth.
I’ve often wondered if America’s armed patriots are not like those nebulous (and patient) Martians. How long to contemplate? That is the question, isn’t it? Or, have they perhaps waited too long – lulled to sleep by reality TV and deceptive distractions
Maybe the Martians or Reptilians will vanish this charade soon.
I don’t believe it’s an American corpse.
There are many good people out there in the internet world that make up this American body. I see it as a progressive tick parasite sucking the life out of the American body but that can be removed by carefully pinching and pulling. Be sure to get the head though. Help Trump keep America in 2020 by removing those progressive Congress betrayers.
But the debt. It’s the elephant in the room. Pull out the tic and patient still dies.
May I suggest you stop looking at the federal debt in FRNs. Our fiat dollar is only worth 2 cents in real money. This means the federal debt of 23 trillion dollars is only 460 billion in real gold backed money. The country is worth much more than that. And we have much more gold in the ground than that.
I think it is a good possibility that we will see a gold backed dollar come out sometime in 2020. And with this new currency the national debt could be paid off on 2 cents on the FRN in a reasonable span of time.
Hopefully but somehow I dont see a gold backed dollar under Trump or anyone else JFK tried a silver backed dollar remember
Big Leb – And look what happened to JFK. I’d guess that Russia/China will create some gold-backed trade system. Not really a gold-backed currency , per se, but where gold will be used to maintain trade-of-balances periodically. The US will be left out it in retribution for our use of the SWIFT system as blackmail against countries that go against our wishes.
That is actually the first time I have seen that observation in print! Think about it….in 1880 1oz of Gold was $20 and would buy 2 nice men’s suits……today 1oz of gold is $1500 and you could still buy two nice suits……only thing that has changed is the value of the USD…..Then you making the link to the hard money value of the US Debt is outstanding!
“People” have commented that there isn’t enough gold in the world for the amount of total debt out there. True, at today’s price of gold. There is always enough gold; it just needs to be re-priced appropriately.
“…many good people…”
Yes. But there are others who just want to see the City burn.
“But there are others who just want to see the City burn.”
this. they want to be surrounded by uninhabited wilderness and they have 1,000,000 cartridges of ammunition and they can’t wait to use it all to achieve their dream.
Biden the pedo or Biden the crook Oh right both foolish me
A friend was sitting in a bar watching a football game the day Pelosi announced that the House had successfully impeached Trump. The bartender changed the station to CNN to watch her speech. Slowly, a gaggle of young waiters and waitresses gathered around and began to congratulate each other that finally Trump was no longer President. My friend patiently explained to them why he was still in his position. They were dumfounded and speechless.
This is the population that is being so easily manipulated – uneducated in school and raised by elders who have offered no alternative values to those ordained by popular culture. This is why democracies always fail. The rest of us make up some sort of remnant whose survival is precarious. Trump is not our savior.
Yes. Just watch a Jay Leno street interview some time.

The PAULANON meetings are always jammed on Saturday morning. I’m a rather recent arrival.
Oh sure. Blame Paula.
I’ve been fighting another bout with my vision and balance problems the past couple of weeks. I finally had to follow the drill that I know all too well and it includes not sitting in front of the computer screen. It only exacerbates the problem.
So I haven’t been here for a few days and will likely only stop by quickly for the next few.
My vision is still a little out of focus, but at least the double vision is gone for now. Seeing double is bad enough, but it jitters around. Sometimes I even go into what they call rotational double vision. That’s a trip.
When I was young I used to pay for drugs that would do that for me. Now at age 67 I get it for free and don’t want it.
Hey, that’s not Paula’s fault you dolt.
Doing drugs as a child will do that to you bubba
Are you seriously trying to suggest that the drugs that I did as a teenager are responsible for my vision problems today?
The multiple concussions that I’ve had have nothing to do with it?
Steve, sorry about messing with your senorita. Maggie may be onto something with the water on the brain theory.
EC – I thought Mags was talking about water on ‘her’ brain.
The truth is that I am aware of more than I have shared with everyone here on TBP.
I will just say ‘cause and effect’ and leave it at that.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
Thanks for your kind thoughts…
Sorry, Steve, it’s just that Sensetti described TBP as a place where people discuss a person’s mom’s vaginal discharge as a matter of national security. In that spirit, I Maggie disclosed her cranial issues and suggested you might have a similar affliction. You mention more than one concussion, were you a football player? Anyway, I hope you don’t have any complications from the multiple incidents.
Human brains are incredibly resilient.
Hope you recover soon. That sucks.
“Drugs are for people that can’t handle reality”. Or, is it “Reality is for people that can’t handle drugs”. I keep forgetting..
See EC? Weren’t me.
When I look at Paula, I see double bubbles.
You had me at senorita.
Seriously…that’s fine beach grinding music.
That is Nice!
That toil and trubble?

“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
Proverbs 22:3 KJV
That proverb is on a banner at the PAULANON meeting room.
And this is scrawled on the latrine wall there “hello my name is El Coyote and I haven’t had any poontang in 36 monts “
Is that meant to be MONTHS or did you mean MOUNTS?
I have never been to Mount Paula although I tell the sexy mulatta that there is a river up in northern California near Fresno called the Little Panocha river. It was a hideout for bandits. Now discreetly renamed the Big Panoche and Little Panoche creeks out of Mount Panoche.
So for 36 mounts
Good one! Worth a bit of phone typing…
Well played.
Nice bike!
You a vet?
What? you get your feelings hurt be BB’s rejection and then you make a play for yet another biker?
Though I was born in Canada, I spent my formative years in the USA (and, later, went to grad school in the States), and I came to greatly admire the USA. I look at what’s happened there–gradually, then seemingly all at once–and shake my head in astonishment. How did the US become the bad guys? It’s like learning your hero is actually the arch villain.
I agree with Uncola that all is not lost, however, not only because of the timeless ideas the country was based on but because of the strengths of the people; well, the kind of people who tend to value the messages here on TBP. The Americans I grew up with and went to college with were hard-working, self-sufficient, honest people, many of them brilliant. Those are the ones who built the country, who invented the great majority of the technology the world relies on, who put a man on the moon, who wrote most of the memorable music and literature of the twentieth century. Those are the ones who’ll save you as well, unless the left undoes you all. The world is rooting for the America of old. Who the hell wants China in charge? The world needs a strong, ethical USA, so please put the leftists in cages and get your frigging act together!

The people you are talking about are now old and gray. When they retired their companies were sold to the giant corporations that listed them as brands and moved their manufacturing to China. The sad part about these large corporations that bought up these brands is they have no creativity. And their brands have gone down in quality because profits for their investors come from quantity produced and sold at the expense of quality. These large corporations; I believe will eventually fail, because now they produce Chinese junk in place of the real thing their brands once proudly produced under american labor. As we move away from Chinese produced products and start manufacturing here again it will be the end of these corporations. It is already happening with Boeing.
Maybe they’ll get pissed off enough to come out of retirement.
“to come out of retirement”
sure. they’ll hobble around a bit, pop off a few rounds or attend a few protest rallies, before blowing out a knee or keeling over from a stroke ….
“The people you are talking about are now old and gray.”
and had few kids, many of whom have been co-opted and corrupted.
No doubt
We aren’t manufacturing more in America, we’re just shifting it away from China to other countries like Vietnam.
Even if we bring back most of our manufacturing back home, as we should as it is a national security issue, be aware that it is unlikely we will restore all the jobs lost because of changes in technology…it takes far fewer people to make the same quantity and quality of goods as in the past.
Brands and goods are mediocre because people buy them. If you don’t want mediocre products don’t buy them. It’s the free market and you’re a part of it.

It is beyond my comprehension as to why biden is still in the running and indeed leading. This guy with his pampered coked up son is beyond dirty and corrupt. But itis frustrating to get backed into a position of defending trump and worse supporting giulani as both are as dirty as one could expect from NYC politics.
I post this link to OAN three part reports on the biden looting exercise-it is long and detailed for those who want to get into the weeks of this sickening biden scam. Be forwarned that conservative treehouse is a rabidly pro-trump site and OAN is challenging fox but indeed does have some reports worthy of review.

They are like the magician who has shooed away a kid who lifted the false front veil, they continue on pretending and letting the audience pretend along that the magic has not been exposed as fake. These same guys have sold rotten meat as fresh for so long that they know no other way. They will continue to pretend that Biden is top shelf because it’s their job to sell the product, they are not concerned with product safety or effectiveness, that’s the company lawyer’s job.
What would you know about the top shelf?
Your too good for me Paulita, it would be like Snow White meets Quasimodo. I know that but there was this girl who didn’t judge me like that and now I hurt her.
Ah…the redhead ain’t dead and the nurse is on Q duty.

Hard to fathom isnt it But Hildebeast almost won so there are a lot of moronic satanic voters out there obviously
The rule of law for this nation was lost long ago, but merely pointing out the symptoms of a potentially terminal illness will never prove to be corrective, or resolve the root cause of the illness. By identifying the cause, one can then work to find a curative solution. But what is the main cause of this malady that has produced such a broad spectrum of the myriad symptoms that are plaguing the patient? I could begin stating the case by embarking upon a long discourse on how the usurping of the Constitution long ago resulted in the welfare state being created, illegal immigration being foisted upon a sleeping populace, women and minorities being elevated to high positions of power, but I’m not going to go into all of that.
I’m merely going to point to the cause of the illness and let you ponder on that while you seek to find a solution. The cause of all of America’s woes can be succinctly summed up in four simple words: The White American male.
How can that be, you ask? It’s because when women began their march toward “independence”, at the behest of the ever-present nefarious change-agents, the white American male did nothing to avert that disaster, and the result? Now we have the lingering stench of an evil threatening haze choking off our air supply, with the likes of withered old hags like Hildabeast and insanity incarnate like loony Lizzie Warren.
The Constitution made no provisions for women to vote, or hold public office -what was wrong with that?
The same can be said for blacks, Hispanics, non-citizens, illegal aliens, particularly dual citizens and a host of other unstable, trangenderfied screwballs that have been given the keys to the asylum, so to speak.
The two most important points to make of this is that American white males shirked their duty to maintain a Constitutional Republic and allowed it to become a democratic free for all, and that to right a sinking ship in this case will require hurting some people’s feeling (oh no) and stepping rather firmly on some toes.
A Constitutional Republic provides for representatives to represent the constituency that elected them. That means that in order for those voting to have a voice in government, their vote must represent their values and their elected representative must reflect those values, or they won’t be returned to office. In order to cast a ballot one must be of legal age, and a male LANDOWNER. When the constituency includes everybody and their cousin’s uncle, the voting process breaks down to nothing more than everyone voting for their personal “wish” list, because they have no skin in the game. They can only vote to take from those who do have skin in the game.
A strong Constitutional Republic under the original intent of the document that laid out the framework, can be maintained and prosper, while a democratic clusterfuck cannot prevail, nor can it withstand the internal pressures that it produces by attempting to meld incompatible societal elements together. It simply won’t work; never has and never will.
Attempting to right the wrongs at this stage, without focusing on the root cause will not produce the desired results. America will either return to a Constutional Republic, under a Christian God, or will soon sink beneath the waves of an unforgiving sea of discontent.
+100
I’d wager on “an unforgiving sea of discontent”.
White people were sold out, long before any of us alive today were even born; all that’s left is the paperwork, and Western Civilization is done. Only White Men can change that…
It is too late to go back to a republic. The people have changed and the vision has been lost due to inanition. In addition the nefarious activity going on in the congress would require a total change of representatives and senators which isn’t going to happen.
Who we vote for makes anything possible. Stop voting for these crazies and things will change.
Who is President and filling the halls of Congress reflects our votes with perhaps some coaxing from Vladamir Putin and our glorious media…lol.
Most people don’t understand that how you spend your money and how you vote are the key to changing not just our country but the world.
The only voting choice is between bad and worse because that’s how they rig it.
“But what is the main cause of this malady that has produced such a broad spectrum of the myriad symptoms that are plaguing the patient?”
not what. rather, who. “in every generation”, “the nation that will not serve you shall be destroyed.”
Meet paragraph returns.
Not u g-spot.
Pansy up there…
Exactly how does a person pansy up and why would they do that?
pansy up sounds faggoty to me.
Is that an additional gamut running question?
The demise of America is based on many things that transpired over the course of it’s existence. Although, at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century there was an acceleration of corruption, and technology. We would need 4 to 8 Trump like patriots over a period of 32 years to make America great again.
Odd, it was about 30 years ago, I was conversing with someone older and wiser than me, and I said:
“As I look around, it seems like America is dying.”
He laughed..then looked me dead in the eyes, very serious and said:
“America is’nt dying, it’s already dead. What you see now are the maggots feasting on the corpse.”
It took a long time for me to digest and process that statement, I tried to reject the very concept, thinking that there had to be a way to revive the spirit that was gone. All that is left now, is cynacism, apathy, political treason,greed, division, a thousand forms of madness, a palpable cold raging hatred, resignation, and a sense that everyone is very tired of it all. It would be easy to say that this happens at the end of every empire, but what is happening did not occur on it’s own, but has been orchestrated and managed. America’s end began over a century ago, and accelerated in the early 1930’s. Interesting times ahead..
“what is happening did not occur on it’s own, but has been orchestrated and managed.”
in every generation.
And whom managed it? The bar conspirators. They gained a monopoly over “interpreting the law”. The Bar conspirators are the army that is levying war on the United States. The Bar must be extracated from gov to have any chance of reviving the patient. If there is going to be a war, it needs to be on the judicial branch and prosecutors, they killed the republic by allowing bs legislation to stand as law and comitting misprision by protecting the criminals amongst themselves who use courts as a weapon of war.
We have Rule by Lawyerly interpretation.
Which now is meaningless.
Call it administrative law that was created by them in the 20th century. This law has no relation to constitutional law and in fact despises the Bill Of Rights. The BAR is not an american institution; it is British!
This article. Is further confirmation of the reality that we face. The fears are absolutely real. It’s easy to visualize a negative outcome overall. What is harder to realize is some positive outcome, either on a personal or overall level. Fortune favors those who are prepared ( to the best of their ability) and those who are willing to adapt and overcome the coming changes . Getting your mind ‘right’ will help you to make the tough choices and journey that we are sure to take very soon. It’s a daily mental exercise to keep yourself from falling prey to the vacuum of the fear energy that is swirling out there; it is possible though. TPTB want us to to be dispirited and depressed, refuse on that basis alone. Prioritization of your energy, finances and time are something to help you through this momentous time in history . Stay strong and resolute!
I agree with HSF:
Astute summation, cynical but softened by humor.
For many, if not all, of the reasons you listed, and more, perhaps, for sure, that we might banter and debate, America is dead. Perhaps she never lived at all, but for hope, and remained, ever, a dream.
” . . . of all sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these: “It might have been!”
John Greenleaf Whittier
“Maud Muller”
“What happens when the economy tanks in 2020? Do you think they’ll desire to root out any corruption then?”
the majority of americans are beholden for their sustenance on those who steal that sustenance from them. the parasite tribe has achieved its dreamland – ‘you can’t live without me.”
Figure your pensions, your savings, your 401Ks, your IRAs in real money and you will see where you stand. When the reset happens all these instruments will be exchanged on 2 cents on the dollar if you are lucky and the FRN has not yet become entirely worthless meaning zero cents on the dollar.
Don’t look back.
The level of reality is strong in the articles today. The president may still have something up his sleeve, but even the most optimistic outlook has to accept America as we knew it has long since entered its terminal phase.
The other article I’m referring to lays out the most important rule for patriots today; not about the laying down of suppressing fire, but don’t get taken down by the myriads of informants whose main job is to infiltrate and disrupt any attempt at organizing against the state; the best advice you will find on the internet today.
All that the left has in its bag of tools is to start the spark of violence that will allow them to crush any attempt to stop them; sooner or later the fuse will be lit and when the fight begins, it will be on their terms. They have been prodding for years now and I am amazed at the level of restraint that has been exercised so far. But 2020 will be the final 2 minutes of the game and the results will not be pretty.
Uncola, your article is about the most optimistic of all the predictive articles out there and I do appreciate that. All I’m saying is as we look to whatever future we may have as a nation, don’t try to restore what has long since been broken and misused, but build something as our founding fathers did, humbly applying the lessons from the past to create opportunities and freedoms for whatever nation or confederacy of nations we eventually will become.
I think you are forgetting the long rifles and all the hunters we have in this country that are good long range shooters. And many of them would probably be loners if a civil war started. We have no standing army inside the country. They are all overseas in other engagements. So really if the mood of the country drifted to a change in government I don’t see how this movement could be snuffed out.
On another front. Our dollar is worthless and many countries want to stop trading in it. Russia, China, India, Iran and many other countries have been stockpiling gold getting ready for the reset. Sanctions are moving this along at a very rapid pace. There will come a time when the dollar will be rejected by many countries. Then how will we pay for our imports?
I can visualize the time when our warehouses and shelves will be empty of durable goods and the parts needed for servicing the existing ones. Good thing we have plenty of food but what if the government decides to trade this food for what it needs? Or for gold?
There is plenty of FRNs and digital money to go around. But what can it purchase when the world wants gold for their products. Think of all the food products we get from central and south america. All of a sudden lb of coffee cost 100 dollars.
I see a deflationary period coming. The fiat and digital money tied to the FRN is nearly worthless in value. The world is waking up to it. This will force the government to issue a gold backed dollar. There will be two forms of money in this country; one gold backed and one fiat. Pensions will be funded with fiat which will basically buy almost nothing while workers will have to be paid in the gold backed currency or they won’t work. Barter will become common place until the transition is complete.
This is what I see coming as early as 2020 and this is the big event I am anticipating. What will determine the damage of lost savings and government employment and will this be tied to the amount of gold this country has to create a gold backed dollar? The less currency to go around means the more deflation we will have.
And likely social security checks will be cut to very small amounts. This will cause more deflation. This will cause much confusion in the marketplace. And municipal bonds… don’t count on being able to cash them for anything else than pennies on the dollar if one is lucky enough to get that. And one can be pretty sure we will see a stock market crash.
This is not doomsday. It is the reset. Get ready for it. I think 2020 is the year.
I am not an economist but for some time I have been contemplating about how things will play out when this dollar is done playing it’s role since our national emergency that put it as a means to pay debts since June 5, 1933. It is now used up and has no value. What has kept it in place in it’s worthless state is it’s role as the world’s reserve currency. But the world sees it for what it is and no longer wants to use it. So it’s role is coming to an end.
The most critical to look out for is what networks we keep in place for the distribution of products and parts. Most likely many departments of government will shut down.
“Barter will become common place until the transition is complete.”
likely the transition will involve a couple hundred million fewer people ….
“I think 2020 is the year.”
nov 2020, whoever wins the presidential elections.
What we are seeing on a deeper level of reality is that God’s purpose for creating and raising up the United states of America as the world’s foremost power and the beacon of freedom, wealth, influence and power unlike any other in history is coming to an end, not just for America, but his purposes for the entire current order of Earth. America was raised up with a visibly evident hand of divine providence for a specific reason in that plan. To prove that point, all one has to do is to look at the incredible visual pattern that develops when one places a map of the ancient Tabernacle of Moses over a map of the USA. The story it tells is an amazing one.
America is the fulfillment of a prophecy that Jesus gave in Matthew 21 concerning the vineyard. It speaks of what God’s purpose has been for this nation all along. With the current seeming demise of America under way, it is a sign that God is getting ready to wrap things up and initiate judgment on a global scale, followed by his implementation of the next phase of humankind – the coming 1,000 year millennial reign of Christ upon the earth after judgment. America is a major sign of the current order of the world coming to an end. America’s existence and what it has been around for is pivotal in understanding that it’s current impending demise is a sign that we’re not far away from this change in order for humanity.
Judgement day is coming – sometime around October 2046. Judgement day will be a solar micronova – our Sun blasting off its outer layer will cause a myriad of upheavals on Earth culminating with Noah level flood. Stars go through periodic micronovas during their lifespan with these novas occurring every 12068 years. Mankind now knows what Judgement day actually is and this has been a massive part of the looting that has been going out of dod. More than 10,000 underground bases and cities have already been or are being built.
I like your optimism!
We are in for a rude awakening. A slow long death. Drawn out. Dying with a whimper. That’s how it always ends when you aren’t paying attention. Ignoring rules and laws and doing it my way and all that rot.
I’ll come by and just stare at your eyes. Shake my head and just wonder. Why Demoncrap, why?
Some of us do not go quietly.
Cue Don Henley.
dunno about “slow long”. there’s this stone peak somewhere, just this huge rounded rock. people climb to the top, and see the gently down-curving slope, and step out a little further to get a view of the bottom, then a little further, then a little further … and suddenly found out they’ve gone too far and can’t get back and tumble down and fall ….
Man. A lot of really great comments in this thread. Thank you all
C’mon jfish… u can do better.
Just..
U2 tadpole
I may set.up ham radios soon.
just keep in mind that all transmitters are tracked and data-based and have associated targeting coordinates.
That cat croaked.
Did it croak 9 times?
No, just once. And it was eight years old. A billionare car that only lived to eight. I have a
hardscrabble (no offense, HSF) barn cat that’s 12 and healthy.
They killed it.
When I was a kid, my dad brought home a calico kitten from the field. He had cut her leg and tail off with the disc and killed the others in a hidden nest. So, Mom managed to keep her alive… we named her Tabby and she provided us with lots of yard and barn cats.
That cat lived to be almost twenty years old. The only animal my father tolerated in the house. I think he felt guilty.
DONALD J TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT,the US MILITARY are at his command,HE very easly could round up TRAITORS,his failure to do so will cost him his life,and the life of his family,HES NOT GOING TO TAKE ANYONE to gitmo,all the TRAITORS in america are his old friemds,OR they’d all be at gitmo….HE will allow them to destroy america in the worse WAR IN AMERICAS HISTORY,IT almost seems hes NOT sure what country hes the president of,AND if he does know,hes guilty of treason,and GOVERNMENT OFFICALS who VIOLATE their OATH of office is a TRAITOR,and guilty of TREASON…..GET READY TO BE IN A WAR,or should I say a Bloodbath….OBAMA should have been Hanged on the whitehouse Lawn……
Rule of law? The Constitution? Heard of those things?
Max, The COTUS and. The Rule Of Law are only being used to bludgeon honest people. The iron fist of this govt selectively uses the ‘Law’ to punish its enemies (honest people) and reward the dregs of society. Most in government are worse than useless. Yes, collectively, we put them in charge.
I disagree. The rule of law is the reason why you haven’t been murdered in your bed by people who disagree with you or want to loot you or both.
Read Thomas Hobbes The Leviathan and where he describe the State of Natute as “nasty, brutish, and short.”
Is the rule of law perfect? Are courts perfect? No…but the alternatives are far worse.
People have to have some perspective. Despite our nation’s many many flaws….things still work. Deliveries get made, roads get built, we have clean water, power, telecommunications, food on the shelves, money in the ATM.
These things are not givens…and the more people erode the civic space with lies and half lies, the harder it becomes to keep things going because it erodes the trust people need in each other to survive and thrive in a complex society.
Advocating the President and the military to round up so called “traitors” and hang them on the White House grounds would be a first shot of a second Civil War.
Wanting the world to burn isn’t a strategy for a better tomorrow.
The COTUS, paper money and man-made rules only work when EVERYONE. giveS them power and abide by them. When you have people foisting them on others while living by no rules themselves; that is the start of totalitarianism and anarchy. We can’t have a blatant double standard. Although, it has been there all along, now the veil has been lifted. TPTB are not going to just give up their power because they have been exposed; they are going to do ANYTHING the can to keep that power. Maybe the masses will just take it and maybe they won’t. It will be interesting to see it play out.
Fiat currency is the way our elites have been able to the loot the world and their fellow Americans by getting real goods and services for pieces of paper. It is how they have augmented their considerable power.
While they have benefited disproportionately from this arrangement, the average American has benefitted as well, with a much higher standard of living despite not saving or investing much…a standard of living neither deserved nor earned for the most part.
This system, whether you like it or not, is enshrined in law and the method for our empire to function. To change the law you have to change the people who make the laws.
And when that happens, not if, we have to be aware that any system for economic activity has winners and losers. Doesn’t matter what that system is.
Trump, Pelosi, Biden, McConnell, Soros, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc. are all on the same team. You and I are on the outside in the cold looking in.
How you vote and how you spend your money can change that definitively if you can convince enough people to go along with you.
I upvoted this comment Maxipad even though I see you came to plant rancor.
I agree it is almost always $$$$$$$
It is the illusion of the rule of law.
The rules have been rewritten to require Rule by Lawyer.
Those people in power who have become millions on a public servant’s salary have stolen it from the taxpayers . They have not just taken a little more from some ‘stash’ . They have abused us to the point of us never trusting them again.
Millionaire s not millions.
Max – the rule of law is not protecting anyone. At the moment people have enough to eat. See how well the rule of law works when people start starving.
There is the Rule of Law and then there is the State of Nature.
You are safe, albeit imperfectly, in your person and possessions because of the rule of law. Don’t forget that.
And while there are many people today who are going hungry, and one person going hungry is one too many, far less people go hungry in America then in many other places around the world. We need to do better but we’re doing better then anyone else already for the most part.
As for rule of law not functioning nearly as well if people are going hungry, what does that have to do with this argument?
If you think in 2020 there is going to be some sort of economic crisis you’re likely not wrong, but in such a crisis food won’t likely be exported and given America produces huge quantities of food, I suspect with the rule of law intact we will find a way to share what we have as fairly as we can.
I ramble on the way to points andvI often fall short.
This is a partial list of Natural Laws that supersede any man-made ‘rules’.
https://www.radioastrology.com/TFG/20PrUniL.htm
Max, I’m sure the souls from Waco and Las Vegas would disagree with you. Laws don’t stop anyone who really wants to commit evil.
Now, this is a popular view that is often used by police state tyrants and the left, but I repeat myself. Do you kick your dog? Do you beat the shit out of the wife and kids? I am assuming you don’t but it is not because of the “law” it is because it is not who you are…..big difference.
Do you steal? Probably also a negative…..because it is the wrong thing to do NOT because it is against the law.
Laws exist to codify what happens to those who don’t do the “right” thing not to prevent people from violating the rights of others. The sanctions from breaking the law do have a deterrence impact mostly by shifting criminal behavior but not stopping. E.g. in CA misdemeanor theft is $950 or similar, the shoplifters literally carry calculators to not go over that level…….
Man can rule himself, he need not be ruled.
It started going down hill when George Washington used federal troops to go after Pennsylvania farmers who turned corn into whisky as a way to effectively store it
This article is garbage posing as philosophy.
The so called “swamp” exists because we brought it into existence by who we vote for. Both the Democrats and Republicans, including Trump are so called “swamp creatures” who play their games while we get screwed.
Who you vote for, who you contribute money to, and how you spend your hard earned money determines everything.
If you have a society in which the majority of people are incapable of rational self interest, understanding facts, and incapable of critical thinking, what we now have is the natural result.
I don’t need or want a fake philosopher blogging in his underwear in his basement to tell me the obvious.
Want things to change? Stop being angry, learn to think critically and in your own self interest, stop thinking the sky is falling, and change your behavior.
If you are unwilling or unable to do so you have no one to blame but yourself.
Happy New Year…
Max,
For the record, I prefer to blog wearing blue jeans in my state-of-the-art home office. And just to be clear, could you define the difference between a real philosopher and a fake one? Just curious. Thank you in advance.
I’m very happy you wear pants when blogging. That’s good.
The difference between a real philosopher and a fake one is that a real philosopher uses facts and long study of human nature, by himself and others, to try to understand the situation as it is.
Yes, our country has a lot of problems. Most of them exist because we as society, for the most part, whether on the left or the right, would rather believe in apocalyptic claptrap rather then face the daunting but ultimately solvable facts.
The amount of sheer anger, paranoia, and misinformation driving conversations on the entire political spectrum in our country is major problem.
Life isn’t fair. And people will not agree politically. And it isn’t the end of the world if one side controls the government or the other.
If the majority, including you, can get back to reality based thinking that would be a great start.
Unfortunately people with closed minds who want to have their beliefs reaffirmed rather then challenged and make some cash via social media and the internet in the process aren’t interested in having a debate.
I’ve read your website for quite a while I’m shocked at the audacity of the misinformation you’ve propagated. You probably know the truth but in the interest of getting your work out there you’ve likely compromised your intellectual integrity in the process. That’s unfortunate but you have to live with the consequences of that…good or bad.
Max, how do you propose to deal with a reality created by others that you may or may not agree with that has a direct bearing on your inherent rights and freedoms?
Great question and not an easy one to answer.
I believe upholding our Constitutional order is a good first step. It’s not perfect but it allows us the opportunity to coexist with each other.
Naturally there will be differences of opinion interpreting any document. That’s why we have courts and the media and debate.
What I don’t like is when that debate is clouded by quasi facts or outright lies.
Our courts, man-made ‘rules’ and an ever increasingly corrupt media are some of the main ingredients in this current quandary. It seems to me that the people that refuse to see this and think that their God is going to fix it are blameworthy as much as the people taking advantage of that which is given.
All media is corrupt. So anything I read anywhere I take with a huge grain of salt…everyone has a bias and an axe to grind whether they acknowledge it or not. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of expression, not accuracy.
As for the courts, not perfect by any stretch, but better then the alternative.
All rules are man made, even many so call “divine” ones. Change the people making the rules by depriving them of your votes and money and things will change.
As for God, I’m a believer but I’m not sure what role the Creator is playing in all this and nor am I sure it is worth bringing into such a debate.
People always defend the system that brought them and keeps them in power. Their ideology and political philosophies matter little in this regard.
Without the support of the masses at the polls and the spending of the masses at stores and elsewhere, the powers that be can’t survive and this is what people miss when they behave as if they are powerless when they are anything but powerless.
It is a fact that no one in office can prove in a court of law, adhering to the rules of evidence, can prove they were elected. Even with their current ‘official’ claims of voter turnout and results the basic average is that around 7-8% of the population actually ‘elects’ the winner. What if we had an official vote for consent to be governed requiring at least a majority >50% of total population to officially approve their consent for gov to be legit? They would NEVER get consent.
Nobody, I have never voted ‘for’ any candidate, only against the worse option; same as most people do.
Who gets to determine what is a lie, the communists and or the media?
Maybe you haven’t been paying attention but the violation of the founding principles of the Constitution is very problem we are grappling with….in terms of creating the power dynamic that is ultimately (already has) going to destroy the Republic.
The fucking Left and the Deep State elites have not been playing by the rules of the constitution for a long long time…..and they have long ago bribed the two referees, the Courts and the Media…..
There is no rule of law and there hasn’t been for some time, which was a non-lethal parasite infection for a while but is now killing its host.
The only question to be decided now is whether the freedom-minded folks do something, do enough to keep the host alive (USA) long enough to recover from the parasite……This whole thread, articles and others like it are exploring that topic……and while you may think it apocalyptic most have reached the conclusion that the patient is too far gone to be saved so we are now trying to figure how best to survive and resurrect a new republic embracing similar principles but with better safeguards and constraints on the power of the government.
The Articles of Confederation, while my preference, provide too weak of a central government in an interconnected world….but the current Constitution is too strong (along with case law and amendments and administrative law) to exist with those who seek power at any cost…..
Laws are not needed in a moral society, no law is enough in an immoral one because the law won’t be followed.
@Martel’s Hammer
“Maybe you haven’t been paying attention but the violation of the founding principles of the constitution is very problem we are grappling with.”
The problem has a very simple answer; although it took me many years of contemplation before the realization manifested in my consciousness.
It is inanition. The word has two meanings. 1. exhaustion caused by lack of nourishment. 2. lack of mental or spiritual vigor and enthusiasm
The same is happening with Christianity.
Our society is becoming the walking dead. We are so being flooded with new informations and technology that our mental processes are shutting down. In general the population no longer contemplates the mysteries of our existence but rather passively lets itself be entertained by our technical gadgets.
Human intelligence is being fed into artificial intelligence AI that is increasingly controlling our lives.
And now our intelligence that has taken thousands of years to develop is being exhausted by a lack of nourishment i.e. inanition.
Re: inanition
From the piece:

Nice one!
MaxPower,
Perhaps you should read Jaz comment about “Natural Laws that supersede man made rules.”
10. The Law of Manifestation
11. The Law of Conscious Detachment
We live in a world where apparent Good & Evil appear side by side and intermixed.
For us the elements of experience consist in elements of sensation stimulated through our five senses to perception to reasoning to abstraction. By the law of manifestation we can manifest what we desire in our life that is good for us while through the Law of Conscious Detachment we can protect our self from the negativity of Evil.
I suspect many people do this. I for one do. But it is not always easy. We get caught up in a lot of negatives. So we have to be diligent in practicing these laws in our life.
Nice drive by, it went as well as could be expected for a low rent gang banger, blew the wad early, most rounds lit up the neighbors, couple went down, the entire target house was unaffected even with verbose prolific expenditure and you only manged to reinforce his point and lend credence to the title.
But please, reload, tell us moar stuff about intellectual integrity. Cuz we all learnin alot bout phlioshaphy.
Why don’t you try making a point instead of engaging in an ad hominem attack?
Yes, Uncola said people would rather believe lies then other things. The irony is that Uncola is one of them as well…he’d rather believe lies as well…but I suspect unlike most of the comment makers here, he knows the lies he’s telling and why he tells them.
In case you are curious, I don’t like gangbangers or most minorities or even welfare recipients like those on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or anyone receiving a federal or state pension, or any corporate welfare recipient either.
In a society filled with liars and victims, it’s hard to have a coherent debate.
You are Reality Doug/SAO under a new name, aren’t you? Such a brilliant psycholigist/Mensa trainee to be able to evaluate our real Doug. Uncola ain’t one of them, you are, fucking TROLL. Probably a Gubbamint troll. Die mother fucker. And be afraid.
I don’t know who any of the people you mentioned are.
Making threats against people’s lives in writing online is both a felony under Federal Law and means you don’t have a rational and critically thought out counterargument.
I think it’s terrible that you feel so powerless and are so incapable of expressing your ideas rationally and coherently that you basically have to threaten a person’s life in writing on some blog.
It must really suck to feel as impotent and powerless as you do…it’s pathetic on some level but you’re consumed by hatred and anger. That’s unfortunate.
Get help paranoid one before your anger and hate destroys you.
Lol…and his mother dresses him funny, too!
After reading many of your latest posts I have to admit some of your shoots found targets in your follow up drive byes, my post was in response to your 2 immediately above mine, directed at Uncola with very little substance.
I tend to agree with the jist of your points to others, and feel decades of barnacles could be scrubbed off this hull and this ship will sail. That said, Uncolas article was not without merit, and certainly did not deserve the level of ad hominem you levied against and then accused me of the same.
Your responses to others were far more cogent and informative than the aforementioned.
As for his lies, I find them far less dangerous than you make them seem, even to give him credit for “trying them on for size” in this venue.
Unless you have some specific lies you would like to explore…
What you wrote is fair comment and I’m probably guilty of the same ad hominem attacks as you so my apology if that is the case.
I’m not trying to do a drive by…far from it..
There is so much to unpack not just with this article but much of the content on this blog.
I believe that most of the people here are sincere in their love for our country. But that sincerity, dare I call it naivete…is being exploited by purveyors of propaganda and sellers of lies and quasi lies.
Just because someone has good ideas doesn’t mean that they are exempt from the rule of law. It applies to all of us…we don’t have kings. And when we see evidence of wrong doing, particularly in those whose ideas we share and support, we ought to apply the rule of law even more rigorously to those we support we support then those we oppose. That way, no one can accuse us of being unfair but more importantly, the good ideas that Trump has brought to the arena won’t go away when he does. That’s the key…how to make this movement move forward without the likes of Trump or Pence or McConnell or any of these fools. That’s what I want to see.
What are YOU debating except Uncola’s right to publish what he thinks on a blog which you are not forced to read?
You are not trying to debate.
You are interrupting the adult discussion
MAX? What does a fake philosopher do?
I am betting they do a lot of research to make their writing readable to people who read it.
Like real philosophers.
Is hard to tell what is real.
Max, they said the Titanic was unsinkable too.
I think you owe me auldlangsignature points for Antipanty and Maxipad.
Love ya, Maggito!
To think we knew tadpole when he was blogging in diapers five years ago.
Makes me nostalgic for Billah’s Wife and the turds she flung my way.
I watched Legends of the Fall again last eve. Poor Suzanna. A more tragic version of Rachel than Rachel.
Am reminding you that you prolly changed his diapers before Maxipad griped about him blogging in them.
Get this? I saw a pair of goats in diapers. They have them in their HOUSE as pets. They paid $250 for the pair.
Please stop the insanity!
Philosophy predates and is the mother of all the sciences. It is concerned with the truth and the nature of reality. I have always appreciated Uncola’s search for the truth and his interpretation of reality is top shelf. His writing is not for everybody, certainly not for morons. Keep drinking the KoolAid, Max iPad.
I don’t like KoolAid….never have.
The Bible contains a thematically related passage in Proverbs 26:4 and 26:5: Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.
The search for truth is an admirable quality in any person…so long as that search is based on facts…which unfortunately Uncola’s work isn’t.
Uncola writes well, but then there are many excellent writers of fiction.
Doug is above average in intellectual honesty and life from what I have seen in a year or so.
Improvement is good.
Oh, spare the effort it takes to type, Jaz. It is pretty clear from the repetitious usage of black/white language that Max has made up its mind already; Uncola, thusly, has been shoved into a box, a black one, because he is “bad”. Meanwhile, Max is white. Even though it does not recognize that most of our problems are due to the communist takeover that has occurred in silence over many generations, and we are here now trying to avoid the apocalyptic claptrap that the communists want for us. And that the constitution is a contract, and a contract is only when valid when both parties exhibit “good faith” . . . and one of them is not.
So it’s “our” fault as a constitutional society that global powers want us enslaved.
I never said Uncola was bad. You seem to miss the point entirely. I said Uncola is trafficking in lies and quasi lies…ironic given his main point was that America is doomed because people would rather have their lies then anything else. In this I don’t disagree…just don’t use another set of lies to prove the point.
Yes, when you and many others are stupid enough to vote for those controlled by your so called “global powers” and also spend your money on goods and services controlled by your so called “global powers” you deserve your enslavement, particularly when the Constitution gives you a means not to be enslaved.
But in order to not be enslaved, it helps to be a rational thinker, believe in and debate using facts, and use critical thinking to make decisions in your self interest. No one said it was going to be easy or fair.
And when you add in the anger and irrationality it just makes it that much harder to change things that clearly near changing.
I never claimed to be right nor do I have all the answers. But I’m not going to be delusional and think the world is coming to an end. Life is filled with problems, it isn’t perfect, and never will be. And, there will always be corruption, the will always be powerful people who suppress less powerful people. But armed with facts, actually facts, not make believe theories, we can fight back. No guarantees of victory…there never are.
Max – you come and take a dump in the site and insult Uncola seemingly out of nowhere and add nothing of consequence. It is you doing the philosophizing, and poorly at that.
I am trying to like you but I am struggling. You are new here and things are different in these parts. Insulting someone who has made an effort to post an article and who is a valued member of this community is a poor start indeed.
I suggest you leave the attacks alone and make whatever point you want to make without insulting the regulars.
That is as friendly as I get, btw. It only goes downhill from here.
I appreciate you trying to like me. For what it’s worth I’m not easy to like nor do I really care whether people like me or not, so don’t feel too bad.
My problem isn’t with Uncola, who I think is a decent writer, and seems intelligent as far as I can tell.
My problem is that while the ideology presented here is correct, folks like Uncola and others are using lies and quasi lies to make their points. And that does a disservice to the ideology I believe in.
Cooperation with evil and lying to spare people’s is condoning evil and lying. Feelings be damned. You have to call a spade a spade and not worship at the altar of false idols.
If folks like Uncola and friends want to write fiction that is fine and well. Call it fiction instead of pretending it is fact.
Let me tell you, if you actually research the so called “facts” on this site it’s anything but…most of it is lies, quasi lies, conspiracy theories, and propaganda.
The ideology most of us share should be honored with facts and scholarly diligence and debate. Not this malarkey.
Ah ha! Dead giveaway…
Is Joe Biden
Malarkey
Part of the “problem” with your comments is the use of the term “lies” which is a very strong accusation and typically provokes an equally vigorous response. You might want to specifically show where Doug is willfully lying….or take it down a notch and rephrase your criticism. There are marginally acceptable shit flinging monkeyshines (my specialty) and then there are “fighting words”…..it is critical as a Padawan on your journey to learn the difference or be prepared for the push back.
Upon further reflection, and since you asked nicely, I’ll refrain from attacking any of the “snowflakes” (aka regulars) here in your “safe space” (blog/comments).
Happy New Year…
Obviously, Max is a paper tiger who tried to be troll. In the end, though, he turned out to be a fucking pussy. Thought so.
I’m trying to have a debate. Not start a war.
I hate the sin not the sinner.
And down hill we go….wheeeeeee…
Max,
You say in your comments above that I believe lies and quasi lies and have propagated misinformation (and even fiction/make-believe theories) on my site, but you write vaguely without any exact examples.
Please be specific as to which lies, quasi lies, misinformation, and fiction (and/or make-believe theories) you mean.
Is it because you believe I am advocating for voting in U.S. elections? Is that it? Or what else? Be very specific please.
Small examples:
–Or maybe it was due to the covert implementation of the 45 Communist Goals, or the development of` the League of Nations and United Nations.
The above passage is garbage…pure conspiracy theory.
And…this:
When Progressive Democrats, and an activist mainstream media, stage a third-world impeachment trial of a U.S. President while reverently citing the words of the nation’s long-dead founders who were, by their own definition, privileged white males and racist slave owners – the end is nigh.
This passage is pure fear mongering. Trump being impeached isn’t the end of the world. And yes, the founders of this nation were slave owners and privileged…and fortunately the Constitition applies to all of us now…what a grand development over more then 2 centuries!
If America was a third world country…the President would have arrested and shot the members of Congress making trouble for him. I thank the Creator we don’t live in such a nation.
As for Trump’s letter…I’d like to point out that throughout the entire Impeachment process he was offered to have to his counsel present and to present whatever evidence he had to exonerate him. The fact he rarely did that means he denied himself due process. Have a look in the Congressional Record if you don’t believe me.
Trump has some great ideas but he’s an imbecile and crook. That’s the problem. Having an advocate for these ideas as mediocre and inept and criminal as Trump means that when the rule of law catches up with him, as it will and should, unfortunately all his good ideas are going to be discredited with him.
America isn’t going to end if Trump is removed from office. There isn’t gonna be a Civil War. Get in touch with reality.
Do I like Pelosi and her crazy pals on the left? No way. The sad thing is Trump is one of them. That’s what you don’t realize when you’re pimping propaganda instead of the truth.
“That’s what you don’t realize when you’re pimping propaganda instead of the truth.”
Pompous self indulgent sophistry.
At least Uncola has the wherewithal to acknowledge possibility, a defining characteristic of all the articles I have read of his.
Everyone of your above refutations looked a lot like opinion, in fact exactly like opinion, no reference of any fucking sort, and then you wrapped yourself in a beloved blanket of truth.
Bullshit.
Your truth sucks.
Exactly. The truth is painful and like a turd that won’t be flushed away, it has a habit of coming back.
I’ll tell you what is sophistry…thinking what and who you believe in will save you.
Only you can save yourself and perhaps your Creator.
Well, this snowflake is done with Max iPad. Anybody who preaches self-salvation and denies the entire message of the bible thereby is a fool not worth answering.
Once you succeed in riling up one of the mildest of mannered gentlemen here, the turd is ready for flushing.
What is it about the word “maybe” you don’t understand, Max? Speculation of possibilities is by no means conspiracy. Moreover, conspiracy is two or more people conjuring secret plans. Who ever heard of such a thing in all the history of the world, right?
Do you believe the Hegelian Dialectic is conspiracy? Because it’s funny how world organizations were created in the wake of wars, no? Unless, of course, you believe in the conspiracy of coincidences?
Now, regarding Trump’s impeachment: I never said it was the end of the world. You said that. Instead, I referenced it as a sign of the end of America. Do you deny that, Max?
And citing the impeachment proceedings as a “third world sham” had to do with the lack of constitutionality of the process and nothing to do with (as you say) Trump having members of Congress shot. Not completely sure why you conflated these unless you were merely contorting the obvious to be argumentative?
You say:
I call bullshit on that Max. If what you say is true then Trump’s legal team would have been able to interview the whistleblower – who is not really a whistleblower is he? In fact, the whistleblower statute only provides protections from the Inspector General from releasing the identity and not anyone else. And your shilling for the Democrats’ completely unfair and unprecedented impeachment proceedings, appears to be a joke in and of itself, ya know?
Regarding Trump: if you have read the articles on my blog like you said you have, you will know I’ve covered both sides of the Trump “coin” honestly and fairly. Here is just one example:
“The Most Interesting Man in the World: Two Faces on the Same Coin”
But when you say Trump is a “criminal”, is it possible that you are the conspiracy theorist Max? Or maybe be a Never-Trump snowflake?
What evidence do you have, Max, of Trump’s criminality?
And, finally, please tell me in the above piece where I used the words “Civil War”.
So I now ask the readers: Who here is really (as Max claims) “pimping propaganda instead of the truth”?
And, as an aside to Max: If those were your “small examples”, I anxiously await your larger-scale illustrations of my (as you have stated) lies, quasi lies, misinformation, fiction and/or make-believe theories. Because, after all, I know you’re just doing it because you hate the sin and not the sinner. Please help me in my unbelief. If only for the sake of your Creator. Show me the way. Please.
And thank you.
This is what happens when your article gets posted on Zerohedge. It’s a blessing and a curse.
Exactly, Mary Christine. What I was thinking too.
You have patience.
Beware the patient man muthafuckas.
+ 7,o45,356
hyperbole much?
Doug, there are many people who said that Obama would never do the things he did beforehand because: “it would be unconstitutional”. The same has held true for other ‘leaders’. It seems that Max refuses to see the evil for what is truly is. If he did this, then he would have to question many other things in his life that he ‘believed’ in his heart; most people are not ready to do this out of fear and egoism.
Right you are Jaz. Selective indignation is an exposed flank. Should Max return, I might decide to make him an impersonal project; by means of proficient politeness of course. That could be fun, except maybe not for him (or her)?
On the other hand, however, Max could be a troll and why feed the troll, ya know? Because if I were a troll dispenser, I would send in the lesser intelligent ones first, too. We’ll see.
Lesser man showing up for duty
That does not compute, mah larky
Leave the computing to experts and u take on deck swabbing.
Tune of Billy Don’t be a Hero.
JFISH don’t be a zero, don’t even look at the bait.
Dougie, don’t be a nero, you know the fiddling should wait.
And as he started to go, we all yelled Dougie, keep blogging your comments for show.
JFISH don’t be a hero for FREE.
that oughta be worth ten…
Care bear or yoji?
That was a good try, Okie sister, but no cookie on that one.
He said “lesser intelligent” ones…
J-doogie got it.
So I now ask the readers: Who here is really (as Max claims) “pimping propaganda instead of the truth”?
Well, as a long time lurker here on TBP, I’ll have to go with Max as the one full of shit… Calling regulars here “snowflakes”? Pretty funny. That is pretty telling – shows one where he/she/it usually resides.
Woe to the newbie that shows up here on TBP and starts throwing shit. The regulars here have plenty of practice wadding it up and throwing it back. It is fun to watch, though, I do have to admit. Careful though – if things get out of hand, then Dad (admin) shows up and sets everyone in their corners until they settle down.
Who you calling propaganda pimps, Dinky Co?
I miss Jahmarcus’s Wife!
*slams brakes*
God gives mankind the right not to be enslaved. The Constitution “protects” those rights . . . except it does not. The Constitution is a contract. That contract is a set of ideals on a piece of paper. IF the ideals on that piece of paper continue to be pissed on by the “rulers” who would be gods over us, at some point EVERYONE will recognize the BREECH of contract . . . and will use their God-given rights to protect themselves from the little tyrant godlets.
OPEN YOUR EYES. Accept the reality of the situation. “The world is not coming to an end” until the Creator pulls the plug, but AMERICA IS ALREADY OVER. All that remains of the Bill of Rights are the 1st and 2nd Amendments. That’s it . . . the rest have been violated in increments and are GONE, thanks to the one side that wants global communism, wants to shove Marxism down your throat and to choke you to death with it if you don’t open up wide and suck it.
The nationalist patriots – the world over – LOOK AROUND – are not obeying.
WAKE UP
Facts can be wrong. It depends on the context it is used in. Facts do not produce harmony. To produce harmony facts have to be balanced with values.
And speaking about make believe theories. What do you think the big bang theory is all about? Some contemplating individuals think that the universe is in breathing and out breathing. And right now we are observing the out breathing. We can’t say the big bang theory is fact. It is only a make believe theory.
The harmony that will come out of your debate will be in recognizing the value of differing opinions that contribute to the total picture. Tearing them down contributes nothing.
Please advance your arguments from the dyadic element (binary) to the triad elements where three independent factors are joined to make one; that is, the affirming, denying, reconciling produce the dynamism of relatedness that produces the tetrad of subsistence in our activity on this blog. This puts our arguments into systematic form which produce positive results.
Niebo, you are probably correct. I do it for the record and others that it will help.
I appreciate the fact that you came out in defense of Uncola and a thoughtful, thought-provoking, and provocative article. Some people can handle being provoked to consider reality. Other people cover their ears and yell “I can’t hear you, you meanie! I can’t hear you!”
And I have since sparred with it myself, directly. But I said my piece. Max can hear or not.
Did I steal Maxipad fom u?
Well…I claim Antipanty.
Well. Are you an anti-philosopher then?
Are you anti-blogger in general or only antipanty, Maxipad?
Auntie Panty?
Uncola posits a many potential triggers for the downfall. Me, I have only one that I believe is behind all ills.
When the US made people begin “giving” welfare at the barrel of a gun, it was over. Even those on the right -mostly – have come to consider welfare their right. Mention eradicating SS and see what responses you get.
It has killed families, and most destructively it has killed the spirit of independence that the country was founded upon.
Even should the right rise up, as I suspect is significantly possible, unless they awaken and understand that any nation which allows parasites to suck the blood of the productive is ultimately doomed, then the nation simply will not be saved. At best, the can will simply be kicked down the road.
In the long run, the only way forward is to compete. A people dependent on welfare and handouts will never compete effectively. Hard, driven, self-sufficient people are what is required. How many people do you know that fit that bill, and believe in totally rejecting govt handouts?
This will end very badly. The corpse will not be resurrected even if all the maggots are killed.
Now this is a good point!
Max – there are many smart folks on TBP. And very few snowflakes. I recommend you stop poking the bull as you will eventually get the horns.
Uncola is spreading his wings as a writer, and is doing a heck of a job of it. I believe he at times overindulges his passion for turn of phrase at the expense of some clarity of expression. It is a fine line to walk. His intended meaning is always there, although it can at times be hidden a bit behind “inevitable outcomes of unavoidable events, predictable denouements of tragic stories, and the ineluctable death“. I scratched my head at that, shrugged, and moved on.
I personally prefer the Hemingway style where less is more, but as I said, he is learning by doing – which is what Hemingway said to do, by the way.
So, as you meet the players, you will come to understand who they are, what they stand for, and what the meaning is they are trying to convey.
Jumping in boots first before you know these things can result in the Burning Platform monkeys flinging prodigious amounts of shit your way. Uncola is exceedingly polite and calm. Some others around here – me or the Admin for instance – might have responded in a less measured fashion with respect to your opening salvo.
You can learn a lot here if you are willing. If you are close-minded and aggressive, the monkeys and big dogs will almost certainly see you on your way. I wish I had a dollar for every newbie that has come back and said “Not me! I am too tough!” Uh huh. You ain’t seen nothing yet. This place is the Wild West, and I kid you not.
A basic suggestion I have is to leave the people that post original work/stories alone on their thread. Feel free to blast the syndicated writers, and feel free to comment any damn thing you like, anywhere, but as I say I suggest maybe not attack the writer of the article on the thread of his own article. That is bad form. They are supporting TBP by their efforts, and that is worthy of respect. Feel free to go for any poster that suits your fancy, but do not be surprised if you get bitten if you do.
You will enjoy the ride. Just so long as you do not turn out to be a fuckwit, in which case it will not be much fun at all.
As usual, Llpoh, I have appreciated your comments. Even the critique. And no one can say you didn’t give Max fair warning.
Unc – everyone has a style. And yours seems to make you happy, best I can tell. If so, that is all that matters. Thank you for all your efforts. We really appreciate it.
Even if he does attract the madding crowd Harding left behind him. Uncola is best served over ice. Neat.
I think our Bard is finding a stride as did Huxley’s odd hero Jacob from Jacob’s Hands, an early work discovered by Sharon Stone. A strange story with a terribly flawed cast.
Not that TBP has any flawed characters.
Llpoh – You can always be counted on to cut through the bullshit and get to the bottom line. In a concise and clear manner. Well said.
Gosh, LLPOH, few folks remember your kind and patient instruction. It seems they never forget your boat oar paddle which unfortunately leaves them with the wrong impression of your kind soul.
I really am an old softy. I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt. Then they disappoint me.
Little red came around…nice work.
Just so long as you do not turn out to be a fuckwit, in which case it will not be much fun at all.
Unless you’re Dipshit Lenny. But he’s a special kind of fuckwit.
I gave u a word.
Word up!
I saw you edge mags out on the 3-banger!
What’s a 3-banger?
My friend uses a crude term for TS posting the 300th comment. Is a silly game we play around here… tagging the hundreds.

In this instance, or generally?
Paulady –
Obviously by a nose. Me and Mags have been here before.
I’ll be watching you closer.
More than once it has been blind luck – the right place at the right time.
And some of us in trucks stalk the prize.
Small quibble:
That is a major problem, but not the most destructive thing about forced “charity”.
No, the most destructive thing is that it killed actual charity. The wealth (labor, property, life) that one might otherwise have given in actual charity is taken. In addition, most adopt the attitude that they have been actually charitable when in reality they have only been actually robbed, and so remove remove actual charity from their lives, their hearts, and their ‘to do’ list.
Faith, hope, and charity. And the most important among these is charity. These are the things that expand and enliven one’s soul (and, if done truly, give you a leg-up on entry at the narrow gate).
Well, scrap that. You “gave at the office”.
In sum, forced “charity” isn’t merely theft of money; … it’s theft of a part of your soul and hope for salvation.
!
Anon – you are correct that forced charity kills private. I donate almost nothing to private charity anymore, as the amount they force from me is extreme.
Private charities are far better suited to help those in need. They are actually able to determine who is really in need, and do so, as their resources are finite. Govt on the other hand is incapable of discerning the difference between those truly in need and parasites. And the parasites multiply as a result, until the host dies.
Donald Trump’s error was his ignorance in believing that one can drain a swamp without a body count.
Doesn’t matter. President Trump exposed the swamp creatures. don’t expect him to expose of them for you. That is our responsibility.
T-bird;
‘expose’ of them for you
I’m assuming you meant ‘dispose’.
Tolerance is not a virtue.
What Netflix’s GAY JESUS says about the CHURCH – TRUTH!
Unc.
Always a pleasure to read and ponder. Definitely not gladsome entertainment, but still very attention-drawing.
More and more articles lately, from all around the digi-sphere, are evoking an ‘autopsy-like’ feel. Or observations about the final stages of a terminal patient.
It means there is no coming back from this one. The damage is done.
The very line used on ZH, and by several commenters here. Obviously you struck a chord with that.
Many years ago, clear back in the late 60s and early 70s, my understanding about this whole mess was beginning to solidify and come into focus. About then my dad told me, sincerely, that the only difference between us and Russia (he always referred to Russia, not the Soviet Union) was that we got to bitch about it. For someone who never went past the 8th grade, and ignored the larger world most of the time, he was remarkably aware and prescient.
There was no coming back 50 years ago. Baked into the cake, so to speak. The warnings about what we now see as the warp and woof of our present world started clear back before the ink was even dry on the original founding documents of the US.
We are not alone. The sheer level of influence this ‘experiment’ has had for many years has inexorably tied the entire global community to one humongous rise or fall. The scope is far beyond what is happening in our own backyards. Hotspots abound, and likewise many regions of comparative peace and prosperity. But the overall trend is what I always search out.
Waves come and go, but is the tide rising or falling?
Doug, you really hurt the butt of some SJW’s on Zero Hedge. I guess some people just can’t handle the truth. Fact is we went past the point of no return long ago.
Excellent article that describes the fall of the US and possible causes which are more symptomatic of this decline than a cause. The ultimate cause, which is transcendental and beyond the world of man, has been recognized by some of the great thinkers including C.S. Lewis and more recently Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Nature abhors a vacuum and without divinely inspired Natural Law, mankind become a self-appointed god who creates a soulless, corrupt, degenerate, sick and murderous brave new world or hell on earth racked by tyranny and despair. You will either have God…or make your acquaintance with the devil.
“Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
@ wdg,
Saw your same comment on ZH as well. Very thought-provoking perspectives, indeed. Thank you
Only those awake know that. The sleeping don’t.
God created this world where many possibilities could manifest. Those perceived good and those perceived bad according to our binary thinking.
Until Christianity man did not think of himself as a fee agent. This is what makes Christians different than Muslims or even the original Israelite.
Christianity promotes individuality under the Will of God. In other words live your life under the laws of God which allow for all types of possibilities rather than secular propositions that are inferior and only seek to restrict freedom of choice and does not forgive error.
Good article Doug. Will definitely link this one @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
America began its decline when it became prosperous enough to begin to ignore what government was doing.
The forefathers knew well the dangers of government, and its collusion with wealthy interests. America’s decline began when it began to allow corporations to exist as anything more than a temporary institution.
It was the corporations that were behind Lincoln and the Civil War which nullified the sovereignty of the States. It was the corporations who wrote and instilled the 17th Amendment to silence the States and remove any say they had in the Federal Government.
It was the corporations that wrote the laws and instilled the Federal Reserve and the Income Tax Act that enslaved the citizens. It was the corporations who wrote the laws that allow them to purchase every elected official who holds office and to maintain the US as a Fascist State. It is the corporations who control the news and the internet and all information the people are allowed to see or hear.
Our forefathers understood and warned us of the danger of corporations, but we were derelict in our duty as citizens, and allowed them to gain power over our government and thus enslave we the people who were given the gift of freedom.
The corporations have had their hayday. Boeing is the first to fall among many that will also fall.
The great thing about the creation is that all possibilities get their chance to play out.
God; the higher intelligence, is in control. The eternal patterns can be bent but always they readjust back to the eternal plan.
We humans have a short life span. Those that study history of the human mind can see a larger panorama than those who live for the present moment.
In nature nothing goes to waste. A corpse is just fertilizer for the next generation.

Uncola,
I’ll drop in some optimism from a recent interview I posted on another thread. I like optimism as it has been my nature all my life, it seems to really annoy the pessimists, and make the realists pucker their lips, but like a few sips of good vodka it is warm and comforting.
Greg Hunter interview with Wayne Jett – Debt Reset Coming in 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_YEEuWMu9g&t=2068s
Strong, grim, factual essay Uncola…pungent phrases and stinging, jabbing harsh reality combos.
It paints the accurate and ugly portrait of Dorian DisUnited States, for we have tried to purchase eternal prosperity at the expense of our Constitutional soul.
I didn’t vote for Trump until the general, and all my research into his background leads to a Mr. Potter Rothschild rubbing his boney hands together with glee, secretly holding Trump’s bankruptcy notes…while feeding him names of advisors to be appointed.
But, then he pulls off some moves (I don’t care what anyone says) that are hopeful, then he does something else, and I plant two more fruit trees, buy another gun, and spend the afternoon on my range.
Happy New Year…let’s all have a toast tomorrow night that 2020 is the year of Bolshevik and Luciferian fears and tears!
Happy New Year to you too, Mark.
Are you a pugilist?
I was going to ask about bugle-ists that blow but that seemed petty and small, even for me.
niebo,
I use to have a left jab that was lighting at the end of a Popeye forearm, and a right cross that was thunder with a formidable ripping fist twist at the split second of contact.
Now, I carry a pocket Constitution, brass knuckles, and a Sig 365 with two spare mags.
The times they are a changing…and I am a aging…

And he carries the reminders

With your arms around a woman
You look much lighter
And it removes from your face…the look of a fighter
Dancing with women in a club, those were the days, we be the last of the red hot romeos. Nowadays guys will be dancing with other guys.
