Llpoh: Get Out While You Can, Revisited

Just under two years ago I wrote the article that follows. It garnered a lot of comments, and I encourage you to revisit them to see how well they have stood the test of time. The original article can be found here:

https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/09/27/llpoh-get-out-while-you-can/

If anything, I was far too optimistic in my assessment. It is now too late to get out, as you can easily see. I did what I could to sound the alarm. I told you so, and it brings me no pleasure (well, maybe a little) to say that.

Interestingly, there are a number of posters on the original thread that said they would fight when the time came. I called bullshit then, and still do. Things are far worse today than then, but no fighting is happening. None. The other side is better organized, and they are marching armed and un-impeded wherever they choose. It looks more and more like the normal folks are surrendering without even a dying whimper. Much as I suspected and predicted. It is not a criticism, just a statement of fact. The left and the minorities have won. If the Hispanics ever join the leftist march, it is well and truly over.


Does anyone see a way out? The $5 trillion or more yearly deficit, the loss of Liberty to the pandemic, the acquiescence of all organizations and businesses to the demands of the left, the inability to even argue with a black person without losing your job, the loss of freedom of movement, the ability of the radicals to commandeer interstate highways and cities without so much as a “that is illegal” from elected officials, the erasure of history, the inability to defend your person or property, etc., are just some of the thousands of examples that show the normals have lost.

If they are not standing up now, then it is not going to happen. Because this is as bad as it gets. Oh, it can get worse, but when you have reached Hell, and you have, it is just the level in question.

So the question is – does anyone see a way out? And if so what is it. Because there is nothing happening now that I can see. Please give me some hope. I sure could use it about now. I just do not see it.

This is the text of the original article, for reference:

LLPOH: Get Out While You Can

I am currently stateside. It has been a few years, and I had to take care of some business. My wife and I have revisited some of our favorite spots, and caught up with some family. We have driven through some of God’s finest works. There is no more beautiful landscape anywhere on earth than the west coast, Route 66, southern Colorado, the Badlands, etc.

That said, I say this most sincerely, and with great sorrow. Those of you who can, get out now.

What I have seen leads me to depression, and there is no road back for the US, in my opinion.

The blinkered people, the tax collectors roadside (police everywhere collecting taxes), the tax collecting at every opportunity, the welfare state, the severe drop in service at restaurants, the tattoos, the green hair, the lard-asses everywhere, the severe over-population of great swathes of the country, the hideous media out only to inflame, and not to report, the aged and infirm working at whatever jobs they can find, the homeless everywhere, the beggars, the filth roadside, the severe health issues seen at every turn (people everywhere too fat to walk, carrying oxygen, diabetes inflicted, toothless), casinos one after another, hideous roads, etc. ad naseum, lead me to but one conclusion: the US is fucked. It grieves me to say it. It disgusts me to see it.

Of all of these things, the most serious is the blinkered people. They have no insight, no curiosity, no sense of understanding of the world, no vision of anything outside their tiny bubble.

There are far too many people. California has 40 million, almost double that of Australia, which is more or less the size of the lower 48. I struggle to breathe around such masses.

I can feel the desperation wherever I go, but the people cannot see that they cause their own issues by living far beyond their means, with leased cars and pickups, and mortgaged to the hilt.

I spoke with many relying on pensions, who do not realize the precariousness of their positions. I ask how well funded are their plans, and they stare at me mouths agape, unable to even grasp the question.

I spoke to many business owners, who are so angry it defies belief. To a man, they are wanting to throw in the towel. Government has choked them to death, and dealing with employees is killing them day by day. One has seven lawsuits going, and has been sued 25 times. He services equipment for other companies. Whenever an idiot maims someone with the equipment he services, he gets roped into the lawsuit. The equipment never fails, but some idiot, not employed by him, runs over someone, and he gets sued, guilty by association.

The immigration policy of the US is helping destroy the country. As a reference point, Australia takes a couple hundred thousand immigrants a year, talent based. Talent based. Compare that to the US insanity.

On and on it goes.

So I say this. Get out if  you can. I recommend New Zealand or Australia. Others might recommend somewhere else. These countries have issues, but they are a few decades behind those that the US has. If not that, then if possible move away from the big cities.

22 – I never think about votes. The US does not have an immigration policy based on talent, while Australia does. Australia gets its immigrants, and takes a lot of them. They are often quite talented.

Nations agree to take refugees by signed convention mostly. The immigrants the US takes hardly better than refugees for the most part. Australia is signed on, no sure about the US.

Then of course there are the tens of millions that just walk in.

It’s anecdotal but when I wanted to bring in specialized welders from the US on a prison project I was a contractor for near Melbourn I was denied because they claimed Australia had such workers available. We had to change the designation to specialized steel mold techs. Clearly the government was trying to protect local workers.

It’s an invention like ‘the public’ which puts a group of people ahead of the individual. We know that polls can be manipulated to get the results they want, yet we still believe them when they say the public demands something based on their polls or the bullshit from the mass media.

Unless it’s an expert, like Fauci, which trumps public demand.

Llpoh,
Leave and go where? I recently sent a video of Angela Merkel, drunk and dancing wildly, to a friend in Germany. She said it was blocked and couldn’t view it. I made me appreciate the 1st A.
I lived in Germany for 8 years and traveled extensively. Denmark was one of the happiest and most content countries. Probably not anymore, or any part of western Europe for that matter. Invaders! Switzerland, maybe, but too expensive. I keep kidding with the wife ” we’re moving to Hungary”but I’ve seen eastern Europe and it’s pretty drab.
Warts and all, I still can’t think of a better place than the US.
While as a Soldier, I’m not worth a bucket of crap anymore, I’m at the age where I wouldn’t mind taking as few asshats with me on the way out. The 2nd A makes that a distinct possibility. It would be my small contribution to what once was the USA and effort to return to it.
If you don’t mind, what nirvana are you currently residing in?
Nah, I’m content to ride out the global shitshow right here. The current diseased state of affairs is global and I don’t see anywhere to run and hide.

I agree, Steve. This is still the country that learned that the government is the enemy. We’ve lost it for sure but it may be coming back. How many people think the government is doing the right thing overseas, in Afghanistan, Syria and Venezuela? How many people think Epstein killed himself? How many people feel any sense of white guilt? Just wait until enough people finally come to the conclusion that this plandemic was orchestrated and the lockdown completely unnecessary. When they realize the virus was manufactured for the purpose of masking (pun intended) the collapse of a debt-based economy. Did you see that couple outside of St. Louis using rifles to ward off the mob? They were democrats. Now they’re patriots. The fight is yet to come.

He makes good points and his conclusion has merit. But my family is here and I’m staying. Besides who can trust a culture that is based on a royal family of pedo’s?

Guns and ammunition are being purchased at record levels and not by libtard asshats. They are not yet being used. That is a serious buffer to outright tyranny. That said, the covert tyranny so many are succumbing to is truly disheartening.

Ephesians 5:15-16 KJB… “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide; physically. The US is the last battlefield. The rest of the world is mostly disarmed. While I’m not getting any younger I can still be of some help here. Nope, I ain’t goin anywhere.

Galatians 1:3-4 KJB… “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:”

It (the USA as we knew it) is emphatically NOT coming back… ever. As John Derbyshire put it, the toothpaste is not going back into the tube. Trump is not shrewdly playing n-dimensional chess.

However, with the passage of time and events, some portion of the USA may become, and remain, a livable place that one could be proud to call home. I’m not saying that such a outcome is likely… just that it’s possible. We all know that the road from here-and-now to a possible better tomorrow will be difficult, and may in fact end only in personal suffering, humiliation and a global police state.

So, be of good cheer and fight for your beliefs as best you can, so you can at least know you tried. Really, you apes… do you want to live forever?

Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it won’t happen. History doesn’t proceed logically. Under the right conditions, at the right time, assassinating an Archduke can spark a world war, while a killing president makes no comparable impact. The death of a thug can cause riots, while the killing of little children, barely a ripple. Remember Bundy ranch, when a bunch of yahoos with deer rifles faced down marshals over some damn cows? The marshals showed the better part of valor, and backed off. The powers that be depend on law enforcement to back their play. What if today some cops said, the hell with it, I’m not getting killed over this bullshit, do it yourself , Mayor? That mayor of Seattle sure got shook up when the protesters showed up at her door, didn’t she? Imagine the effect if they had burned down her house. Once it gets into people’s heads that it can happen to them, things change.

And of course there was/is the well-known “Galt’s Gulch Chile” fraud. At one point Berwick was “guaranteeing” Mexican citizenship and passport with a two-week turnaround time.

Besides having a generally low IQ, over the years I’ve observed another bad trait: Most niggers have no awareness of cause and effect. They really don’t understand that if they shoot someone – they will eventually wind up in the slammer. If you see someone running a red light – good possibility it’s a nigger. No thought about having an accident. At the gas station, have you noticed they leave the car door open, when gassing up? They have absolutely no awareness of the people around them.

Llpoh,
The solution isn’t going to be built overnight. Our people will suffer. But, they will learn, and in those lessons they will discover the key to their deliverance. The greatest mistake our forefathers made is that they ceded the most important institution, media, to the usurpers. The rest of the world, save for pozzed Western Europe is not so stupid as to make that mistake. Notice how the Chinese keep their movie stars and producers on the tightest of leashes. William Shakespeare was no fool when he said that the pen is mightier than the sword. To reclaim our destiny, we must reclaim the “pen” – that is, Media, the ability to make culture.
I can’t give you a foolproof answer on what to do going forward, but I can give you some guiding points, based on what I have seen.

1. Understand that when the adversary is deplatforming us, they are disarming us. Treat these actions as seriously as you treat the exploits of the gun control lobby and accordingly spare no effort in lobbying and lawfare. Immediately and decisively ostracize the fool who raises the “but it’s a private business” objection.

2. You are fighting a guerilla media culture war. Just as a military insurgency doesn’t have an air force, navy or satellites at its disposal, a media insurgency finds itself deprived of cultural heavy weapons like film studios, tv networks and so on. In other words, the tactics that work for a guerilla army are what you may look to as a guide in how you deploy messaging. No protracted engagements – strike fast and move out quickly. Don’t centralize your assets. Remain elusive and unpredictable. How do these precepts apply to media? Look to the examples of coordinated shitposting and meme war.

3. Understand the psychology of the adversary. You’re dealing with a combination of narcissism and paranoia. That can be exploited. Remember how 4chan turned the “ok” into a hate symbol? That’s using the enemy’s paranoia to one’s advantage. Arguably, they followed through on that overreaction partially as a power flex, but the example opened enough eyes to serve our purposes. The usefulness of this particular tactic may be past, but you can rest assured the paranoia tapped to power it has only gotten stronger.

4. To a man, they all have vices and each vice is a weak point. Much hay has been made about how the enemy has used our virtues as attack vectors, taking advantage of our altruism, honor, faith, sense of fair play and beyond. I invite you to turn that notion on its head. The enemy is greedy, vindictive and deeply subject to addictions of the worst kind. Their ranks unabashedly embrace all seven deadly sins, which we must remember are character flaws. The cracks in every structure first propagate through flaws. Discover and highlight these flaws. Moreover, this point has a powerful corollary, concerning controlled opposition. It’s easy enough to get an idea of who is on the payroll, by evaluating their professional and legislative track record. Dislodging them is the tough part. The weak point is that anyone corrupt enough to serve as controlled opposition always has more corruption where that came from. The enemy often puts them there precisely because those flaws can be used to blackmail the person into reliable double agency. In other words, every RINO, every well-paid cuck, has a closet chock full of skeletons. Put them all under a microscope and keep digging until you hit pay dirt. If only the real conservative movement had dug deep enough on Buckley to discover his special “friendships”, they would have been able to neutralize him before the damage he did was done.

5. Undermine the adversary’s messaging at every opportunity. We have the truth on our side and that truth is like a nice jackhammer – not worth a damn unless you pick it up and start using it. Point out every lie, every inconsistency. You’re not going split that big boulder in one go, but you will, you must, chip away at it.

Two more points:

6. Document and disseminate the enemy’s tendencies. Watch Antifa in action and they become very apprehensive about people recording them, as they know the value those recordings of their misdeeds hold.

Get the footage of the enemy acting naturally and spread it far and wide. I guarantee Hollywood bigwigs would be mortified if their true nature was documented and broadcast – not from shame, mind you, but from the fact that being exposed for the scum they really are makes it hard to stay rich.

Project Veritas has brought millions over to us and is a perpetual thorn in the enemy’s side.

Your well meaning-neighbor will not respond to a well researched argument showing BLM as Marxist nut jobs, but a video showing a BLMer beating down a woman with her own puppy dog ( yes this is real – she swings this dog from its leash like a friggin medieval maul) will stop that neighbor’s BLM donation check harder than a brick wall.

7. Evangelism is key. We are Evangelists. We are missionaries spreading the gospel of Western Christian civilization and values every day. We are relentless Crusaders. Every conversation with the unconverted must be viewed as an opportunity to nudge someone on the fence off that fence and onto the right path. We will argue and nudge and cajole and get good at it through experience. The more practice you get firing the eternal truths down the rhetorical range, the tighter groups you will make. Get to practice every day.

Maybe Carlson would try. Newsmax would or OANN. Communistcast does not seem to have OANN but they do have Newsmax on 1115. I recently discovered Newsmax on cable and it beats most of what is left of FOX all to heck as far as reporting the absolute atrocities going on by the protected groups of shitheads and traitors. As for #7, if we don’t tell or show no one else is. That dog video is enough to cost those f’ers tens of millions in donations and a few million votes minimum. GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!!!

All talk and no rock I get it and that is actually not a bad thing.

That is really the point I wanted to make to Llpoh.

Of course “we” will fight back when it is the last choice available….likely after a Biden win and real genocide ramping up.

Conservatives by their very nature abhor violence and going extra judicial.

Think about the innumerable juicy ambushes that could have been conducted during the ongoing BLM insurgency protests…..Matt Bracken outlined a great scenario as have many others.

Sure we could do that, with 6 people or less I could make Las Vegas look like Romper Room….and I am not a professional, not even a military vet. The serious folks could do much better incorporating explosives.

But…..that is not Us…..I have never kicked a dog, raised a hand to a woman, though I have swatted a deserving child or two. Why, because that is not who I am….and it isn’t you either Panzerlized or any of the folks on here.

So the millions and millions of firearms purchased are being held back, waiting, hoping to avoid the fight we all know is likely. We won’t start it but I suspect we will finish it.

We are not above every terrible thing that is done in armed conflict…we will slaughter men women children, livestock and not bat an eye…..but only after there is simply no alternative between being exterminated ourselves or fighting back.

Move…..fuck no…..America is the linchpin that holds any level of the rule of law in the world…..if America goes down……then you better brush up on your 1984, Chinese and Russian……it won’t be pretty.

It is 1860 and calendar is rolling over to 1861…..and soon to April……after which there is only victory or defeat.

I really get an ominous feeling the media and hack cia deep state do not actually realize they let this get out of Hand this time and we may have moved past turning back or toning down things. They think they can easily control us using the dial by media narrative because it worked so well in the past. Problem is they have been caught lying so many times they do not actually understand they are the boy screaming wolf and nobody is listening anymore. Their dial, and power is now broken, upon deaf ears.

I also feel if Trump wins, the left will go brazenly crazy into white suburbs. The right will then feel like they have someone watching over them (not true). The right are too scared right now to do anything, even post on fakebook because it is like Salem witch trails out there for careers and life.

Even when 35 year civil rights attorneys are simply armed in their front yard not threatening but trying to stop a mob from burning them in their own home, these people are made out to be the bad guys, bad violent white people and they were democrats. The media is dying for a national news narrative. Nobody wants to be that first person, to be made an example of like the guy driving in Charlottesville trying to save his life as the mob encircled his vehicle chanting to kill him. The reason this narrative and story is almost dead 72 hours later is because that white guy in a pink shirt with AR15 in his front yard has a history of being a far left liberal. The media knows it will unite the normal democrats and the right. They will wait for a better story.

If Trump loses the right has already had a taste of where the govt, media, and corporations will go. When govt officials abandon their cities calling riots “peaceful protestors” with a promise of 3 months of “Summer of Love”, corporations falling over themselves virtue signaling huge donations to a racist communist BLM, changing their decades old logos that were not racist when Obumass was in charge, and building diversity boards made up of racists and the media complicit in allowing “Black Power racist” sites to remain up while taking down and destroying the lives and careers of white people that simply state “all lives matters.”

Yes, the right will feel completely abandoned by their tax funded slave masters. The right will have to feel more pain and confirm this has , not will, happen then some will be moved to action. Most will wait until the “no choice but to act” comes to their area, city, neighborhood and the last ones, will wait until its comes to their own doorstep. Many on the right will avoid it until they cannot. Many will simply lie down and die. Too scared to act out of fear of repercussions to their reputation. (They are so stupid and do not realize they will die but are worried about their job or reputations). Most of them being keyboard warriors…..at best.

This is why govt, media and corporations have chosen what they feel is the winning side. We cannot blame them. They want to be winners. We have not shown them we can be winners. Other than winning the meme war what else have we won at? Yay. We meme better….wtf?

Either way it gets worse after the election. Not better. And for you jackasses of the most high, that think some jerk off named “Q” is gonna fight your battles for ya. Wake the fuck up. Your excuse for cowardliness is “Q”. It is an excuse and you are being played, completely played. You are the most controlled opposition ever. Dumbasses.

Well ok then. I suggest you grab your gun and go shoot up something. Start shooting now. Or get out there and revolt, protest, whatever. Doesn’t matter where you are, just start that ol’ revolution. Spit in the wind, shake your fist, that’ll do it.

The left controls the narrative, the media, the courts, the local governments and the big corporations are in league with them. The Supreme Court just ruled that electoral votes must follow popular votes in States. That means voter fraud will determine this election. Popular vote by mail in ballot, no ID necessary, followed by huge population dense areas controlling the vote. The electoral college was there to offset the population dense areas from overrunning the rural areas. Say bye-bye to that.

There are times when the only thing to do is let things collapse. Withdraw consent, withdraw support. Without the producers the takers can’t survive. Go reread Atlas Shrugged for where this is headed. If the inferior people are in the ascendant then back away, you are outnumbered and outgunned. The inferiors can only exist with the help of the productive, think cities can feed themselves?

What have you been prepping for? Avoid crowds, avoid conflict where ever possible, especially if you’re outnumbered. If you can’t avoid conflict then go mad dog berserker on their ass. Always go armed. Destroying yourself serves no purpose at this time. I’m not going to destroy myself for the benefit of the braindead, ignorant, tattooed and lazy. Pick your hill to die on if you can and don’t die for the average ignorant boobus Americanus, they’re not worth it.

Mygirl, I saw the ruling and was quite upset, but then I actually got the text of it opposed to the misleading headline. It was not about that crap where the states could give their electoral votes to the popular vote winner regardless of how their state voted. It dealt with “faithless electors.” 9-0 they ruled that if your state votes for Candidate X, the electors of Candidate X’s party have to vote for candidate X. It is based on the fact electors pledge or have in effect a contract to vote for their party’s winner. This actually indicates the Court would likely not allow that BS of states agreeing the popular vote winner gets their electoral votes. It would be massively unconstitutional, which of course appeals to Progs. This is a win unless you are George Conway or Mitt Romney. One Never Trump group has been campaigning for electors to not vote for Trump even though they are pledged to do so. This ends that foolishness.

HR: One of the purposes of the electoral college was to insure that rural or more sparsely populated areas got their say in an election. Popular votes are based on population density. Many of the problems we have now are due to the fact that cities determine election outcomes and what benefits cities can be disastrous for rural or less populated areas. Why do you think the dems were so adamant about allowing illegals into the country and salting said illegals and ‘refugees’ into red areas? Why were the dems so virulently against voter ID?

The arguments before the court regarding the ‘faithless electors’ was the contention between determining the original intent of the Constitution which allowed for electors to NOT follow popular vote vs. “potential chaos’ happening during the 2020 elections if they DIDN’T follow the popular vote.

An exasperated Justice Alito was not amused. “We have to interpret the Constitution to mean what it means, regardless of the consequences,” he said. “But we are told by experts on elections that the consequences would be potentially chaotic.”

Alito ultimately decided “to essentially avoid chaos” rather than follow the original intent of the Constitution.
The decision forces electors to follow the popular vote numbers in each state and, essentially, negates the need for an electoral college, instead relying only on the popular (and possibly fraudulent) vote.

The Electoral College determines the President and Vice-President of the United States. The Electoral College system also distinguishes the United States from other systems where the highest vote-getter automatically wins. This so-called “indirect election” process has been the subject of criticism and attempted reform, though proponents of it maintain that it ensures the rights of smaller states and stands as an important piece of American federalist democracy.

The way I understand the decision, is it upholds the electoral college and requires an elector to vote for the candidate he/she is pledged to, if so required by state law. If there is no state law regarding a “faithless elector”, then they can vote for whomever.

I believe that ME and NE have the correct idea, in awarding electoral votes by Congressional District, with the overall winner of the state’s popular vote the other 2 electoral votes. This moves it from a winner take all to a regional contest within each state.

Here’s a comment from the Zerohedge article on said topic. He explains it better than I can….

Electoral votes are determined by the number of congressional representatives, that is two senators plus n congressmen.

By not distinguishing between citizen and non-citizen in the decennial census, the subsequent apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives is skewed to areas of large foreign national occupation. This might not be that big of an issue with a small number of foreign nationals but when you have 50 million of them, the skew becomes enormous.

The Supreme Court ruling denying the addition of a citizenship question on the census cements this skew.

More than that, the Founders had introduced a bill into the 1st Congress with twelve articles, ten of which became the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10) and another becoming the 27th Amendment. However, one article remains unratified — article the first — the so-called Congressional Apportionment Amendment. It dealt with the question of limits to the number of People represented by one congressman. The founders enjoyed somewhere between 35-50k People/representative and thought that 200k might be a good upper limit. Seats were added to the House as States joined the union and as the population grew. However, ratification of this amendment fell behind as States were added and is an unresolved design issue.

The number of seats in the House was artificially fixed at 435 around the same time as the introduction of the 17th amendment. Our population has more than tripled in this time and there are now somewhere in the neighborhood of 750k People/representative. We are less represented federally than at any time in American history and it grows worse with additional population growth.

We can create a far more dynamic system of representation by:

1) ratifying article the first or something similar to determine the number of seats in the House

2) adding a citizenship question to the census

3) apportioning seats based on the distribution of citizens

4) repeal 17th amendment

This reduces the skew from foreign nationals, eliminates the zombie districts like NY-14 where most of the district has no franchise and 110k votes elects an AOC, provides finer grained representation to the People, increases the checks in the House, increases the number of electoral votes, and so on…

Mygirl – Congress is big enough as it is, even though we really are not “represented” by our elected house member. In reality, they represent those who finance their campaigns and do the bidding of those with the deepest pockets.

I wholeheartedly agree with excluding illegal aliens from the apportionment of representatives and the only way to make this happen is to include the citizenship question on the census. Unfortunately, 5 black robed lawyers decided the issue and it is now a matter of judicial diktat to count foreign nationals and include them in the apportionment of representatives.

I do not see how repealing the 17th A would do anything to the electoral process. There were 2 senators/state in the original Constitution and 2 after the amendment passed. I do agree it needs to be repealed, but because when it was passed, the States lost their representation in Congress

If my Senator did things that made me question their ability or judgement I could complain to my local state rep who would tell them to get in line or get the boot. With direct election and commie pacs they can tell us all to piss off and Soros can pound on the opponents and finance campaigns of lies that get 50.1% where appointment by legislature makes the Senators what the Founders intended-the liaison or representative of a state to the federal government. The original job description under the Constitution was a lot different from it post 17th which made the Senate a super legislature, not the watchdogs of the individual states as intended.

H R. – I have done a lot of research on the 17th to find out why the states would give up the only power they had with the central government and it all boils down to corruption. Too many senators had become corrupt and were lap dogs of big money and the power brokers within the state. The people got fed up with the corruption and forced the legislatures to approve the amendment.

BTW – “Progressives” spent over 60 years and offered several amendments before the 17th finally passed Congress and was approved by 3/4 of the states. As Ralph Rossum (Federalism, The Supreme Court and the Seventeenth Amendment) put it, they used the “silent artillery of time” to defeat their foes. This is a time tested method for them and they still use it today.

It would be far simpler and more equitable to stuff John Roberts down a Gopher hole and pass a law or amendment disallowing aliens from being counted in the census for purposes of apportionment. This caused trouble from day one when the slaves were considered chattels with no rights yet the South demanded they be counted for Congressional apportionment. This resulted in the ruling that counted a slave as 3/5th’s of a person for apportionment because the South ( more correctly wealthy and influential slave owners) wanted to have their cake and eat it too and were able to force this compromise gaining seats counting slaves.

When good people remove good kids from schools and the real numbers of grads and college attendance goes down 90%. Stop the political correctness by not socializing. Save your money.

We are the ones allowing them, keeping them afloat. Without us they burn down their own making. Just stop, now.

My girl. Re read what you wrote. This is why there are only two remaining options. Epic bloody revolt from the right to teach generations to stay straight and narrow or complete retreat and allow it all to be given to them so they can maybe see communism does not work. The latter is the most probable but the least effective. Power hungry psychopaths are always in govt and will always return faster than allowed id the first option were to take place. But these are the only two remaining options. The latter may have some 3% patriots but they won’t last long enough….

Aussies are arrogant, drunk picks. You want to give advice. Save your own country. We’ll see how you do when China puts the steel to you as the US declines. You will have plenty of your own issues to deal in….cause we go down, everyone is dragged along. We may have an internal struggle but yours will be wide open war.

As for the US decline, either you have never been in a full coup or just like to pretend you know shit about things you havent any clue. On a decline….there must be a crash. It’d be like stopping a rockslide. Only after a crash will anyone be able to build something. What that something will be is an entirely different matter, but there is little that can be done now.
Supply lines are the key and will be to every living being. Used properly, it is simply a war of atrician. Why fight and did early on. Sides are finally being formed.

Respect is something that a person gives to a person of merit, somebody who has achieved something a priori. Only women expect another to earn their respect. In a land where everybody is called by their first name, there is little respect left.

And yet, if you have any self-respect, you will acknowledge a successful person and infer that he has the brains, the motivation and the drive to accomplish things others only dream of doing.

You admire a moron who can dunk a basketball and make himself $millions per year but you refuse to look up to a self-made man who rescued faltering businesses and the livelihood of its employees simply because he chose to move to another country.

Anyone else noticed the dem run cities and even republicans do not give one rats ass about the budget. They were always complaining they did not have enough to fix even pot holes. Now they are all complicit with the burning of their own cities. They do not want to reopen business for tax revenues. As if money is no longer needed or even wanted. As if something else will soon take the place of money/currency?

I find it odd we heard for decades budget or fiscal crisis. Even wall street is complicit allowing a bankrupt herts corp to issue more stock that is known to be valueless and it was fucking approved. Wtf ? That is against the damn rules. Any company below $5 a share gets delisted but they allow Hertz in bankruptcy to issue known fraudulent worthless new issue shares? W. T. F.

It is weird none of them care about money anymore as if they know something we do not. As if the economy was already over and they are secure. They all have a complacent feel about them when the remainder of the country is shaking in fear of losing their jobs, businesses, homes, health. Something smells rotten here.

You’re correct in your assumption. They no longer need to care about revenue because the Fed/Treasury can and are issuing whatever is needed as long as the Petro Shekel is the world reserve currency and as long as TPTB continue to coerce the world into using it. This is what they are using to buy up corporate Stocks and Bonds with as well. By starving out small and medium businesses during the lockdown, any that remain must take crippling loans from the Feds with control going to the Feds. They are now just franchises. The IMF/BIS will soon announce a new system and we will be toast. Hence the rush to get the country fully under control, even if it means burning it down. They have the right so confused and divided they can’t offer any resistance.

Buy Gold and Silver. They have not changed. Only the number of fiat units printed per ounce extant has changed. When we were kids Gold was $35 to the ounce and around $1.50 per oz. for Silver. Nothing has changed but the amount of fiat. Some things are a bit less based on increased efficiency and productivity but if you see something that was a Dime when we were kids, it is selling for what a Silver Dime brings in fiat today.

Before this surreal year I thought that the impending global economic crash would bring some sanity back to the world–along with a great deal of suffering–if only because governments would no longer have the wherewithal to pay for all the lunacy. They’d try to print their way out of it, of course, but the currencies would fail and that would be the end of it. No more money for innumerable wars, for paying hundreds of welfare programs, or even for social security and medicare. After protesting and rioting got them nowhere because there’s just no money to buy them off anymore, the people would have to accept reality and work to get by. The Greatest Depression would render cultural Marxists a curious and amusing footnote in the history of the early twenty-first century. Starving people have no patience for drivel like imaginary genders and made-up pronouns.

But, having been stunned by the ease with which the elites pulled off the pandemic hoax–I believe the virus is real, but the policy response must rank as the biggest hoax of all time–I’ve begun to wonder if this obvious step toward totalitarianism is only the beginning. But can they take the next step without the money to buy people’s compliance? If so, can they take the subsequent steps against a starving and enraged population armed to the hilt, especially if they don’t have the money to pay the police and military to enforce their decrees?

I doubt it.

Bob, they have an unlimited amount of currency that they can print 24/7. Actually, the need to print isn’t even required anymore, because of their convenient means of adding zeroes to electronic bookkeeping entries.
This game can continue for years to come, because the average sheeple was never taught what money actually is, and will be willing to continue using phony, worthless FRN happily until the inevitable switch to the coming cashless society, which will effectively end our way of life forever. Cheers.

The only place I see unrest and disquiet is on the screen. They broadcast what they want you to believe is reality rather than to actually participate in it, but that is their loss, not ours.

It’s all about perspective. History is simply going about its business, seasons of man and all that jazz and this too shall pass. I neither worry about nor concern myself with the goings on of the political and societal “elites” (the dregs of society by any reasonable analysis) nor the hooting herds of human cattle that wreck their own environment because they do not understand their purpose in life.

It will burn itself out and you know who will stand upon the ashes? The humble and the meek, as always.

Of interest:

Meek in the Greek literature of the period most often meant gentle or soft. ….Friedrich Nietzsche was harshly critical over this verse, which to him embodied the “slave morality” of Jesus. It has also been criticized by James Joyce, William Blake, and Theodore Dreiser who all rejected a life without striving.

Other writers have pointed out that the Greek word “praus” (πραεῖς) was used to define a horse trained for battle. Wild stallions were brought down from the mountains and broken for riding. Some were used to pull wagons, some were raced, and the best were trained for warfare. They retained their fierce spirit, courage, and power, but were disciplined to respond to the slightest nudge or pressure of the rider’s leg. They could gallop into battle at 35 miles per hour and come to a sliding stop at a word. They were not frightened by arrows, spears, or torches. Then they were said to be meeked.

To be meeked was to be taken from a state of wild rebellion and made completely loyal to, and dependent upon, one’s master. It is also to be taken from an atmosphere of fearfulness and made unflinching in the presence of danger. Some war horses dove from ravines into rivers in pursuit of their quarry. Some charged into the face of exploding cannons as Lord Tennyson expressed in his poem, “The Charge of the Light Brigade.” These stallions became submissive, but certainly not spineless. They embodied power under control, strength with forbearance.

TBP got me off that crazy train.

And I am not talking about work.

I haven’t been employing a lot of effort here because like Scrabble I am getting outside and enjoying life. On Saturday I was on the water fishing Lobsters. It was amazing! Should have taken pictures. I could have gotten enuf Lobster at end of day to feed twenty people but declined and told the Captain of ship to keep them. Better that because I had of done so it would have left her with little money to pay for the fuel. My thoughts at time were that I’d rather bank some goodwill and save it for future. And why do that? Well because the government and the yuffs running wild in the streets cannot tax my barter.

Social Credit is hard to steal…

Yeah parts of Canada are a shit show of diversity. But here where I live the our greatest strength is the “poor” economy. Folks from abroad don’t wanna live here where options are limited. For the thieves the opportunities are better elsewhere. And they can have it.

Doug – you echo my fears. Until recently I had hope that the good, decent, honest folks would prevail. I do not see it now. Those good folks are still good, but complacency has set in, and they are comfortable.

When I was a kid, I had dreams of doing better for myself. We were very poor, and I longed to do better.

Now the “poor” have things I could not have imagined. And the middle class live what I would have thought as a kid was a rich existence.

For many there is no struggle, no need for families, nor for a spouse to help you through the good and the bad. Those relative few that do want to get ahead despair, burdened by student loans and the massive costs of living.

It is such a different world.

The 70’s recession was a continuation of the 60’s reality for us. After Nixon took us off the gold standard, Carter tried to hit the brakes. Uncle Ronnie decided that was the wrong direction and took the country on a spending spree.

It was all play money and the nation deluded itself that it could spend itself rich. Here we are now with the most materialistic poor, a drug-addled middle class and the rich drunk on power and easy bitches. We are not in Kansas anymore.

The Waco hoax? Now Waco is a hoax? Like it didn’t happen? You stupid braindead, simpleminded Fool. You pathetic mental bastard. I was there and I know what happened, I saw the aftermath, sat through the entire trial and witnessed how the FBI and US government killed 80 people in cold blood, most of them children. I know David Koresch’s attorney, he and his brother Mike DeGuerin both represented Branch Davidians and they both showed me the photos, evidentiary photos that had never been seen in the media. Gruesome photos.

I sat through the testimony of the Ft. Worth coroner, Dr. Peerwani, as he used a map to detail and describe where the bodies were found, how they were found and how they died. Guess how many were children? Those ‘imaginary’ children whose pathetic burnt bodies were found huddled together in a walk in refrigerator in the vain hope of escaping the flames. Dear God….you are beyond pathetic…..BTW: The people in the walk-in? They didn’t die from the fire, nope, they were crushed by the MRAP that ran over it. There were burnt bodies with small burnt bodies inside them. One of the attorneys wanted to know how that happened. Dr. Peerwani: Those were the bodies of pregnant women.

No, this ‘hoax’ was a horrific mass murder perpetuated by Clinton, Reno, Holder and many, many others who, with the exception of dear Janet, are walking around free as little birdies.

No one — NO ONE — was ever punished or even inconvenienced by what they did to these children at Waco. Eric Holder was instrumental in covering up the circumstances of the Waco inferno, including the prosecution of U.S. Attorney Bill Johnston, the only federal employee who seemed remotely interested in getting to the bottom of what actually happened. In this, Holder had bi-partisan help from the GOP. (See This Is Not An Assault: Penetrating the Web of Official Lies Regarding the Waco Incident by David T. Hardy & Rex Kimball.)

Janet Reno. I was eating in a restaurant with a group of other people when she came on, stating that they went in like they did to protect those children from child abuse. She and the DOJ succeeded beyond the wildest of expectations, nothing say protect a child like setting fire to their home. She wasn’t real bright and she fell on her sword to protect the cigar wielding liar in the oval office.

Llpoh, 2 minor corrections.
#1. You said that “no fighting is happening”. Not true. On the 4th, Militia showed up at Gettysburg to defend the Monuments from being defaced and torn down. And there was one town in Idaho who when they heard Antifa was coming, mobilized a great number of citizens with AR’s and AK’s plus Antifa sent a scout ahead and a bunch of men beat him up and ran him off. Unfortunately, that kind of stuff needs to happen on a massive, nationwide scale to make a difference and that’s not happening. SMH. What I would like to know is where are our elected officials, Conservative Political Leaders, National Law Enforcement people, local Police??? Why are they letting the Radical Left riot, murder, destroy public and private property??? Why aren’t these people arresting this Radicals, prosecuting them and throwing them in prison for 20 years??????? Shurly, there are laws on the books against treason and insurrection. Why, oh why aren’t the National and local Law Enforcement people enforcing those laws?!?!?! Why doesn’t President Trump declare Martial Law and use the Military to round up all these Leftists and fly them to North Korea??? I have lost all confidence in our elected government officials. They seem so timid, weak, impotent, fearful to do the right thing. Where are they???????
#2. You said that “This is as bad as it gets”. According to Dana Coverstones so called “Prophetic Dreams” video, it’s going to get much, much worse this Fall. If Dana is accurate and not a conman then it’s IMPERATIVE THAT EVERYBODY GET PREPARED NOW!!!!!!!!!! Please watch his YouTube video and let me know what you think. I reccomend the one on the Prophecy Club channel. He goes into a little more detail about his dreams and what they mean.
I know your angry, frustrated and depressed. So am I. What has happened to my once great Country??? What will be it’s future??? The Left looks like it will be successful in destroying our Country. So sad.

All of the mayhem is occurring in areas that have been controlled by the dems for a couple of generations. When they move to the suburbs and rural areas, they will be met with LEO’s who will enforce the law and citizens who will protect their property. I know many of the cops in the community closest to me and they are not amused at what has been going on in Memphrica and other dem cities.

This is not a federal concern, except for the leaders who are traveling interstate to instigate the locals. Feds have been slowly, but surely arresting some of the leaders and I am optimistic they will incorporate the RICO statutes to go after the money behind the riots/looting.

I haven’t read the comments yet, but I know I’m not leaving my country. I’m on a long road trip through our country. Stopped in Cody, Wyoming for the 4th of July. Great town and great people. Felt very American there. There was no strife nor have I seen any anywhere I’ve stopped along my trip. Granted I’m not going through any big cities. But, I see ordinary Americans going about their lives, few are wearing masks, no social distancing, and all seems normal.

I get a totally different picture of our country when I watch the news. I haven’t watched it at all now for two weeks and my spirits have lifted. The news is very depressing and it feels like we’re losing our country. I stay away from big cities for this reason.

I guarantee when/if this crap hits the small towns, the people, normal people, will not stand for it. They WILL fight back.

Again, not leaving my country. What if our Founders had thought that way? It was worse for them and they didn’t give up and flee. They had a vision greater than themselves and gave up everything and fought for it.

America is an idea more than a geographic location. That idea will ALWAYS be under attack. I will never run away from what I believe it right.

It’s coming, I’ve known it since 2003 for various reasons when I got my first opportunity to peek behind the curtain.

I love you man and you are right for most people. But I really don’t fear death whatsoever and I want to at least be present to attempt to lead what’s left. Or die, whichever comes first. 🙂 There won’t be much, perhaps 10-20% of current population IMHO.

If I had to put my finger on the one thing that matters most where we’re headed, it’s physical and mental healthiness. If you’re too fat, you’re a casualty. If you’re dependent on medical care, you’re a casualty. If you aren’t a Myers Briggs P, you’re likely a casualty.

Good nor evil ever ‘wins’. The pendulum swings back and forth. Man tends to think their lifetime on this planet is the most import in the overall, it’s not. We may be in a cycle that lasts for another 50-100 years or we could be on the tail end of the last cycle.

Things appear to be heading for some climax; what comes next though?
Are you resilient or flexible enough to deal with what comes next?
Change (good or bad) stokes the primal fear in a lot of people; the Govt knows this and plays it for full effect.

In all things there are always those who suffer and those who somehow stay well and prosper. This has a direct correlation to the Law Of Attraction and the energies one exudes.
Do the best you can to be the change you want to see.

Don’t fear the physical death because there is reincarnation.

At the end of the day,one’s attitude will determine whether this life is heaven or hell right here on Earth.
I could point out many positives that are happening right now with the lock-down and plandemic; there are always positives in any situation. Don’t be locked into a preconceived idea of exactly how things should go down. Make up your mind that you are going to find a way to be happy and prosperous.

If there is a rule or law, there are always loopholes and exemptions, find or create one.
If there is a dearth of something, maybe you did not really need it. Create an alternative or do without for a time.

That security, surety, and prosperity is a bedrock from which we can dominate our enemies and eventually reconquer what’s ours.

LlPOH – I unfortunately agree with your assessment of the US. Each time I go over it is worse and you are seeing the current level now. So not going to quibble on that. What I would like to know are your thoughts on Oz and NZ. Being over here, we see news about where we live not easily apparent when living in the US. While currently it is much better than the US and likely to be better for a decent while than the US. If you give credence to scripture, one obvious interpretation is that the US is in for a particular kind of hurt and will likely suffer notably more conflicts and death during the transition the controllers are hoping to achieve.

However, being in NZ, it is apparent to me that both NZ and Oz are also controlled by the same forces at work throughout the US (and the West overall, even most of the world). So while better, the ultimate outcome, while maybe taking longer (and I’m not sure about that) of being 100% controlled by what I will call the beast system is obvious IMO.

I recognise there is probably a higher percentage of very tough minded individuals in both Oz and NZ (than in the US) aware of the evil going on and against it but not sure that will matter in the end (but maybe).

So my question to you is: Do you see the paths of Oz and NZ differently than I do and, if so, I would appreciate your observations as to why. Thanks.

At the Hardscrabble Farm on Saturday, Marc indirectly gave his answer. I had come to the same conclusion a couple of decades ago, but finally completed the move out of NYC eleven years ago. I moved to a small rural homestead coincidentally about 30 miles from him with a similar vision. Life will go on here. I can provide for myself – feed my loved ones and produce my own heat, power & water. The property is paid off, and short of a military force on my turf, I’ll be okay.

I learned a VERY long time ago that all of the promises made by bankers and politicians are completely empty. My parents raised me to understand that the world isn’t full of rainbows and unicorns. In fact, for the most part throughout history, life is cruel. In our case the treasury was looted long ago. We – all of us – have exchanged our labor for promises backed by nothing. No one knows when the show will drop, but when it does, it will be Biblical. I can’t tell you where you will be safe. I will make my final stand here in the state whose motto is “Live Free or Die”. I might get either one. YMMV.

I did leave almost 15 years ago and over all, have to say if i could do it over i wouldnt have left. I went to where my ancestors came from (yes i had kept ties and language with the grandparents and cousins etc in the old country) thinking that in a de facto third world country the collapse would come sooner, swifter, and overall less destructively. I was willing to grit my teeth and put up with a bunch of bull**it for a few years until the thing came crashing down. then we’d just be wild mountain men in a tiny village on the back side of nowhere again like we had been for dozens of centuries.. however the EU has kept a dead system as a walking frankenstein far longer (and far more tyrannically) than i ever thought it would manage to stay on its feet, and its gotten way worse. Now i dont think i’d manage to ever have a chance to start over again from zero once more going back to the states, but if i had the money to do so ready in hand right now , i’d be on the next plane back to the states, literally i’d be not losing even another day to get back. alas that i spent many years opf savings from when times were good, on trying to set up a small house, few plots of land, etc, in the country my parents left for a better life in america, because i smelled america’s collapse coming and feared the destructive thrashing and tantrums of a dying empire. instead i should have stayed and helped defend the ideals of america from the storm – make no mistake, the empire is collapsing and that cant be stopped. but just as after rome fell in the west, the west blossommed into dozens of independent polities, in america the same will happen- if we can guide their evolution by the same principles of liberty it will be all the better.

From the latest and probably last CD by the best band to come out of LA (besides the Doors)
“Alphabetland” by X

All the time in the world

Hearts are breaking for hearts that are broken
So eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die
Or maybe next Tuesday for those of us without a battle flag to fly
Though we are no less noble or brave
Because we can still wave goodbye

We have all the time in the world
Until the limitless possibilities of youthful infinity turn into mortality
But that’s after a long, fun struggle of watching everyone
Not me and not you
Suddenly go pale
Some failed to live up to life
Some trailed behind their own comet tails
Some wailed and cried out to God to no avail
And some got impaled by speeding metal
And infected needles

But I’m here
And you’re here
And why do we still care enough
Or even too much to write or make words
In the hope that someone in the future will hear?
History is just one lost language after another
After another
And when they’re all taken together we still can’t decipher the past or decode the future
We’re just lost without a map

We are dust, it’s true
And to dust we shall return, me and you
But it was fun while it lasted

All the time in the world
Turns out not to be that much

I now qualify for those senior discounts. My stunning and abrupt awakening happened at a Whataburger. I was paying for my order and the girl said I got the drink for free, senior discount. I felt the urge to smack her and then realized, this is your life from here on out. I now wear masks and sunglasses and a hat. My government mandated disguise. They don’t know who or what I am but I insist on the senior drink.
Since the mask mandates robberies are up 20%…not sure why though.

I was at a store and called for some info the next day about my purchase. The person who answered said “hang on, I will get Tom for you”. I heard him yell to Tom:”It’s the old guy from yesterday!”

Fuck me.

We all make choices, some made the choice to leave, some that can’t leave for various reasons say they will stay and fight.
You don’t think TPTB thought of that and are not making plans to castrate you wanna be warriors? If Trump loses, and I’m really starting to think he will, get ready to duck because it’s going to be game on.
If I could have left I would’ve been gone, but for various reasons I too will remain.
How will we crush this new drive towards Progressive/Marxism? This generation of snowflake/millennials have the rest of us outnumbered by 20 million or so.

Carry on Llpoh, I always enjoy your essays.

Yea. There is no place to run to. No place to hide. What is about to transpire will (in all likelihood) be a global phenomena. Just look at the recent pinko policies enacted in New Zealand.

I looked up my comment from 2018 and it seems to have aged well. The USA is FUBAR, SNAFU etc. New Zealand is leftist paradise with lots of crap. Australia is a mixed bag, but China is routinely threatening to squash it like a bug, and every fall (Oz fall) it seems that the whole thing starts on fire.

Not fully anticipated in 2018 was just how far, how fast Canada was going to go insane.

So here I sit in a remote part of the US that is 98% white, with most of the balance being very distant relatives of LLPOH, and it still seems like the best realistic option. If I were a billionaire I might choose Switzerland or Norway, but I’m not. The US is likely to have more internal fighting, but I’m far from it. Our chances of being invaded and conquered by China one lazy afternoon are vastly lower than the chances that Oz will suffer that fate. So, good luck, and thanks for all the beer.

P – China is a potential issue. I have always thought in the long run Indonesia – the world’s most populous Muslim nation – is perhaps the biggest threat, especially if and when its economy develops some.

China is not very close to Australia. It is about 4500 miles away. Indonesia is like 500 yards or so. If China comes into Oz, nothing we could do. But that would mean that the Koreas, Japan, perhaps India, would be screwed too. It would be a world war almost certainly.

India is a natural foe of China, as is Japan. Russia and Chinese relations seem better, but historically they are natural enemies as well.

What would the rest of the world do if China takes over that entire portion of the world? Lord knows.

All sensible thoughts. I can see the threat of Indonesia, but it doesn’t have an expeditionary, invasion-focused military, which China has been rapidly building in the last 10-15 years.

If China actually took over the rest of east Asia then the world would be fucked. I don’t see it happening though. That chance depends enormously on the situation of the US. I hate to envision the present as a repeat of WW2, but it’s pretty easy to draw parallels between China and Nazi Germany, and between the current USA and either England or France, both wealthy but rapidly failing empires, still powerful but not quite able to defend themselves against a full onslaught.

Anyway, I’ll soon be able to add WW3 and CW2 to the list of things I’ve been alive for. Not sure if either of those can top lesbian space crime though.

‘Australia takes a couple hundred thousand immigrants a year, talent based. Talent based..’
Bullshit. BULLSHIT.
Anyway, problems aren’t solved by running away.
There’ll come a day when there’s nowhere to run. What then?

Dear mush for brains – here are the figures. The immigrant numbers I quoted included spouses and children. The skilled/talent portion was about 130,000 skilled immigrants, plus around 60k family members.

You mean you’re not going to take advantage of the shiny new Supreme Court ruling and bugout to Oklahoma? Say it ain’t so…
