Getting along by going along with the patently absurd.
Guest post by Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic.
A seamless web, they all believe because they all believe.
The Gordian Knot, Robert Gore, 2000
If it seems like the world has turned upside down it’s because it has. Right is wrong and wrong is right. Truth is lies and lies are truth. Knowledge is ignorance and ignorance is knowledge. Success is failure and failure is success. Reality is illusion and illusion is reality.
It would be comforting to say that this inversion is a plot by nefarious others. Comforting, but not true, in the pre-inversion meaning of the word true. Rather it stems from answers to questions that confront everyone. To think for yourself or believe with the group? To stand alone or cower with the crowd? It’s the conflict between the individual and the collective, and between what’s true and what’s believed.
We live in an age of fear. It’s not fear of germs, war, poverty or any other tangible threat that most besets humanity. It’s the fear of being disliked and ostracized by the group.
If every age has its emblematic technology, ours is social media, with its cloying likes and thumbs up and its vicious cancellations, doxing, and deplatforming. No longer must you wander through life plagued by that nagging insecurity—am I liked? Now you can keep virtual score: you not only know if you’re liked or disliked, you know how much and by whom. Unfortunately, that knowledge doesn’t seem to help; the scoreboards only amplify the insecurity. What was once an occasionally troubling question, privately asked of one’s self, has become a widely held, public obsession.
The official Covid-19 response is the apotheosis of inversion and probably the one that runs it off the rails. There’s a model that has repeatedly erred predicting infection and death rates by orders of magnitude. Use it! Politicians and bureaucrats, the two most power-hungry groups on the planet, are clamoring for unlimited powers to destroy jobs, businesses, economies, lives, and liberty. Give it to ’em, no questions asked! Sunshine, Vitamin D, fresh air, and exercise prevent diseases and lessen their symptoms’ severity. Lock ’em up! Lockdowns aren’t working. Lock ’em up harder! Masks don’t prevent or hinder viral transmission, their packaging says so. Double, triple, or better yet, quadruple mask! At high cycle thresholds, the PCR test throws off many false positives, inflating case counts. Crank up the cycle thresholds until Biden gets in office! Cheap medicines hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin both prevent and cure the disease, provided it’s not too far advanced. Discourage their use! They work better than expensive vaccines. Make vaccinations mandatory! Scores of reputable and eminent doctors and scientists are questioning and criticizing the protocols. Censor them and follow our shapeshifting science! Death counts are inflated because hospitals have a financial incentive to attribute deaths to Covid-19 and anybody who has tested positive and subsequently dies of whatever cause is labeled a Covid-19 death. If they scare people into saving just one life…. The cure is far worse than the disease. Shut up or we’ll shut you up! There’s always germs out there and they constantly mutate, this horseshit could last forever. New Normal, Great Reset. It will last forever, and it will get worse, won’t it? We’ll circle back on that.
Peer pressure is the fundamental force of the social universe. Anyone who’s part of a collective will be pressured to accept its consensus on matters trivial and important. Congruence between what a collective believes and truth is happenstance. The larger the group, the higher the chance of incongruence.
Groups don’t think, they perpetuate and enforce belief. Collectives collectivize what passes for thought, none more so than governments. There’s always the danger that someone might ask why those who rule get to club everyone else into submission. Rulers either suppress that question or try to provide a nominal justification. If they have the clubs, what are they worried about?
The ruling caste is always small compared to the ruled. No matter how many clubs it has and how overmatched the subjects may be, the ruling caste knows its position is more secure if their subjects believe their propaganda and consent to their rule. The underpinnings of frightened compliance with, “Do as you’re told or else!” are rickety compared to a chorus chanting in unison “We’re all in this together!” or some such rot.
None are so enslaved as those chained to group belief. Truth is irrelevant, group acceptance paramount. Belief is unquestioned and unchallenged, truth the shunned and hated enemy. Governments have promoted this inversion for centuries, always telling the same lies. Faith in government may be the strongest and longest-lived secular religion, and it’s certainly the one most resistant to questions, investigation, or contrary evidence.
The script never varies. We’re good, they’re bad, exterminate them. Conquest, domination, and empire are our nation’s greatness. Need not greed: those who earn it are selfish for trying to keep it; we’re virtuous for taking it away. Our pieces of paper are good as gold. Your squalor has nothing to do with our opulent lifestyles; be grateful for your bread and circuses. Dissidence must be suppressed; opposition is traitorous. Ruination and death are everyone’s fault but ours. You just weren’t good enough to live up to our ideals.
Inversions can only last so long. People consciously or unconsciously reject them, and reality doesn’t invert. A small coterie in Washington may believe they run a global empire, but Russia and China refuse to kowtow, even nominal allies are backing away, and the costs of maintaining its crumbling empire are helping drive the US into bankruptcy. What US cheerleaders call the best military in the world hasn’t won a significant war since World War II and its fighting forces are being ideologically culled or indoctrinated in wokesterism, systematically rendering it even less fit to fight.
The censors no longer hide their censorship. There are stories that cannot be reported, questions that cannot not be asked, investigations that cannot be launched, platforms that cannot be allowed, and issues that cannot be discussed within the captured media. It cried foul when Donald Trump made “fake news” a catch phrase, but it caught on because it confirmed what millions know: much of today’s “news” is fraudulent propaganda.
After a month-and-a-half of one-party rule it’s clear that suppression is only going to get worse. Among those who intellectually stand outside the collective, suppression neither decreases belief in what is suppressed nor increases belief in the party line. They know the truth lies in what’s being kept from them.
Subconsciously, even adherents to the party line never completely believe it. Fully “woke,” you may “know” that Western civilization is a discredited product of the white male patriarchy. However, do you throw yourself from the top of a tall building because the properties of gravity were first described by white English patriarch Isaac Newton?
Psychological dissonance plagues true believers. What are they going to believe: dogma or their own senses and thought processes, such as they are? It’s the root cause of their psychic brittleness: the inability to answer questions or engage in debate, the insistence on ostensible agreement, and the need to suppress anyone who doesn’t go along.
The fragility that tries to adjust reality to belief runs head-on into the desire among those whose behaviors are to be adjusted to live their own lives as they see fit, not to mention reality itself. America’s divide is between those who want to be left alone and those who want to tell them what to do. It’s so much easier for the latter if they can impose at least the appearance of consent on the former through suppression, fraud, or force.
Reality doesn’t invert, no matter how many people believe otherwise. Governments and central banks will debase their fiat debt instruments until the illusion that they’re worth something is discarded. They have every incentive to do so and it’s happening now as governments go broke. Empires crumble because they require more energy and resources to maintain than they generate. The American empire will be no exception. The more production is taxed. regulated, and otherwise penalized, the less production you get. The more indolence is rewarded, the more indolence you get. As government’s power expands, people’s freedom shrinks. You can make people engineers or brain surgeons based on their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference or any other irrelevant factor, but it increases the likelihood that the bridge collapses and the patient dies on the operating table.
A society that corrupts science, the basis for discovering, describing, and employing reality, is doomed. Honest science requires free inquiry and debate. It is a never-ending process of proposing, testing, evaluating, revising and discarding hypotheses for new ones with more explanatory and predictive power. There is no such thing as settled science. The claims that there is with regards to climate, coronaviruses, or any other scientific issue are nothing more than admissions that the purported science is propaganda. Unchallenged science is a contradiction in terms; challenge is the lifeblood of science.
So add science that isn’t science to the long list of inversions that collectively could spell humanity’s doom. Consequences don’t recognize wishful thinking or political diktat. Climate and coronavirus dogma masquerading as science is the Trojan horse ushering in the great reset of a new world order. Global governance, state-approved science, political and cultural canons enforced with jihadist zeal, top down economic command and control, the eradication of any vestiges of liberty, and billions of unthinking adherents will destroy rather than build, compounding today’s inversions and creating new ones.
The danger to all this is individuals who think and act for themselves, those who are woke to the woke, so to speak. The key to standing on the outside, critically examining what’s within, is to abandon any desire to be on the inside. The docile dreck and their puppet-masters within are usually sufficient inducement to stay outside. Once that decision is made, independence of thought is almost assured. (Those who see the inside for what it is and still want in are corrupt beyond redemption.)
Challenge dogma and propaganda and you’re a dissident. Not always a comfortable position, but the dissidents will have the best shot at surviving the coming collapse. The insiders will suffer shattering disillusionment as reality obliterates cherished belief…and the insiders.
The historically unprecedented scale of present inversions guarantees upheaval and change beyond reckoning when reality’s full force can no longer be denied or subverted. Even those who see things as they are and regard themselves as fully prepared will be shocked by what’s to come. At least they will retain the existential essentials of observational power and logic as they sort through the smoldering intellectual landscape, discard the inversions, and get on with the rebuilding.
Blame the puppets because you don’t like the puppet show. Yeah , right.
What the hell kind of comment is that? Daddy Steve…..That may say it all.
“America’s divide is between those who want to be left alone and those who want to tell them what to do…” BRILLIANT. There is no reconciliation between these two ideals, PERIOD… Chip
The degenerates believe they are normal because they say so?
All the more reason to call out the perversions they promote and the subversion of society they seem to promote
It is really simple. If your mind and your body disagree about what you are, your body is right and your mind is wrong. You can think you are a zebra, or Neapolitan, or a dinosaur for that matter, but it does not make it so…..
In 1984 the democrat governor in Colorado (he from somewhere else, of course) made his infamous comment that the elderly ‘have a duty to die’. Few understood where he was coming from, as the governor of most states is faced with balancing the budget and hey, old codgers cost more when they get sick, especially if they are on welfare. The more of them die off the easier it is on the budget.
Sadly, that was one of the first signals about how far out of touch liberals are with their inverted thinking-but the young kids moving into Colorado thought he was pretty hip.

Agree 100% with this post. The people really do have the power to put this globalism shit out of it’s misery, they just don’t realize it.
Hans, true, that kind of power scares people (in their hind mind) because of the work and responsibility that it carries with it.
I think if actual ownership of corporations were to be analyzed, the true ubiquity of monopoly would be apparent enough to demonstrate the futility of boycotting most things.
If they were concerned with selling stuff, advertising wouldn’t have morphed into an almost exclusive role of propaganda unrelated to product sales.
The organization of White people into self-interested political blocks is both necessary and inevitable.
You bring up a great point. It is weird how corporations no longer care if they piss off half of the country with their blatant partisan wokism. It is no longer about sales or revenue.
“It is no longer about sales or revenue”
for some entities such as main-stream media it hasn’t been for a long time. as propaganda outlets they’re getting top-down funding.
Actually, they are well aware that the average American is a pathetic and weak individual without the conviction to stop buying what they provide over ethics or any other reason.
Like drug addicts we are addicted to comfort and ease that the products the criminal corporations provide us, and they can say or do what ever they please with no fear of consumer retaliating…
Good point, but it is only the crony corporations that are problems.
Perhaps we could boycott the government.
In any case, they do need to sell things to stay in business, unless they are eligible for bailouts and subsisting on the dole of government contracts.
White people should organize into exclusive and self interested parties, the sooner the better?
It’s much more sensible to work together with like minded people, people who have the sme goals and who think Liberty is a good in itself. Who cares what color they are?
Not so much white people, but conservative minded people of all races. People need to become educated about what the political spectrum really is, and what the implications are.
Liberalism is a danger to every individuals rights and liberty, and liberals are the enemies of the American way of life.
At some point, conservatives need to realize they are in a war for their very existence.
Conservatives is what the Democrats chose to call themselves after they lost the War to Preserve and Extend Slavery (the Civil War). Once Reconstruction was ended, and federal troops withdrawn from the former Slave States, the Democrats started calling themselves Democrats again, and regained control of the Southern states by intimidating voters and stealing elections. The Southern democrats were what they had always been, a self defined “elite” that felt entitled to rule and get rich.
That’s just a point to illustrate that “conservative” can have many meanings. It depends on what you are trying to conserve.
Liberal ideas are what the Founders Of America had and operated on. When Democrats started calling themselves “liberals” (after they had discredited the term “progressive” for the first time), actual liberal minded people had to start calling themselves libertarians or classical liberals.
Real liberalism holds that most people can rule their own lives, and only strictly limited governments are needed to deal with people who steal and assault and murder.
“The organization of White people into self-interested political blocks is both necessary and inevitable”
this will be opposed tooth and nail. “you’re racists! you have all the power and privilege you need already! you need to turn over all your goods and powers to us immediately!” etc. then they’ll move to coercion, then military action (by others, never by themselves) then scorched earth – and I’ll bet their planned last-ditch endgame is genocide if they can pull it off. “us. just us. only us. or else.”
just have to tell ’em no and move forward.
White people have extremely diverse views on issues of political economy. Some white people are communists, some are libertarians. Some believe in free enterprise, some believe that government must control the economy. Some white people are authoritarians, some white people are anti-authoritarians.
I don’t know it you are a “white” person or not, but I think your idea of building political power based on race is a very bad idea (and it simply won’t work), just as I have always thought that building political power based on any race is a very bad idea.
The problem we all face, no matter what our “race”, is preventing authoritarians from solidifying and extending their control over our government.
Your contention is that white people are some sort of unity, or should be, yet you immediately push me out of the tribe for my political/economic beliefs.
That’s pretty lame, but it helps make my point. Thanks!
You’re gone, right?
I agree, we need to stop supporting these corporations. I have some on my list, under armor, chase, bank of america, target, starbucks, google, twitter, fb, and I am working through a transition off my of amazon. It is more about convenience, but I can buy direct from places. Do you have a list? I think we need to make this list known, with alternative options for people. The local markets would be more difficult, but we could create lists. We need to make the transition easy for people so they can just pull the plug without thinking much about it.
I think there needs to be school options for people. If the new legislation gets passed, this will affect all christian organizations, and removes any legal application to prevent the transgender indoctrination of American children.
There also needs to be a list of banks. Or, new one(s) created. The banks are being used to prevent borrowing to conservatives. This is causing economic hardships for those trying to live outside of the propaganda. Thoughts?
Meanwhile, the mRNA vaccines continue to do their work….https://www.theepochtimes.com/adverse-incident-reports-show-966-deaths-following-vaccination-for-covid-19_3723384.html?fbclid=IwAR3W21NJ_cDwBqnzaVtQ7IquTjIzodaGWmj_eRMwy44xyjf2wF_zrAPaXX
The historically unprecedented scale of present inversions guarantees upheaval and change beyond reckoning when reality’s full force can no longer be denied or subverted.
The entire article is a very clear catalog of symptoms leading to this conclusion.
Every possible cycle – political, financial, biological, geological… moral ; all are coming into synch, into a perfect storm of realization.
This 4th Turning is no longer an American phenomena – the influences and global impacts are so invasive and wide-spread now that no one is exempt from its ramifications. Make no mistake – just because other political entities don’t overtly dance to this falling empire’s tune doesn’t mean that, much like the oceans are influenced by the moon, they are not influenced by the decades (centuries?) of the figurative gravity this entity has developed.
Strauss & Howe – though I have reservations about some of their premises and conclusions – are very accurate when they stick with empirical evidence. When they declare emphatically that every turning is far more intense and destructive than the previous, it is borne out by what we are witnessing now. Boy howdy.
Though this is not exactly a direct comment to Robert’s article, this is as good a place as any to drop it – check your premise. If you believe that this country is going to miraculously survive and resurrect into even a close proximity of its former free state – however free it actually was – maybe you should take a step back and chuck your blinders and life-long biases out the window. I cannot find even one iota of actual evidence that would support that opinion, from any historical context whatsoever. Please enlighten me if you can prove otherwise. What I see, as plain as the sunshine coming through my window right now, is a complete total collapse world-wide. Bad doesn’t even come close to describing what I believe is coming. That is NOT a time prophesy, only an event prophesy.
For those who would have us shun all ties with the corporate puppets/puppeteers – as much as I understand and respect your general attitudes and understanding of our situation – let me offer a contrarian view; instead of cutting all ties with every single business that is actively shoving with all their might to increase the enslavement of us all, to get theirs at the expense of us, maybe that’s not the answer. It won’t be much longer, as this shit-show escalates, before you will have cut ties with every. single. one. of. them. Don’t fool yourselves.
Instead, I propose that you do as the Apaches did; ride that horse until it dies out from underneath you. Eat it if you can. If not, hit rolling and start running. Metaphorically speaking. As a side-note – an Apache warrior could outrun the cavalry horses. They could a run a horse into the ground. That means that you, to complete the simile, need to be, in your situation, as prepared before hand as they were.
Use these assholes – Amazon being a prime example – for as long as they are of use to accomplish what you know you need to get done. You are not going to save your local businesses, though if you are like me y0u will help your friends and neighbors who do own them as much as possible. Some things, like FB, Twitter, etc., are not of any use to someone like me. I have never had anything but a FB account as far as media – had no use for them at all – and I have since deleted FB. I have zero give a shit about anyone else’s opinion. If you can use them to further your own agenda, great. If not, why the hell are you involved?
Their times are coming, just like ALL of our times are coming. Use them, then toss the rind when you’ve sucked all of the juice out. We are all heading to the same place, whether THEY see it or not.
As always, it’s your choice not mine. Let your conscience be your guide.
Good thoughts. The Apache comment is poignant as they were great adapters and adopters. Apaches are Eskimos who migrated south according to their DNA.
Yep. They were a very hard people living in a very hard land. They adapted to their environment mentally and emotionally, as well as physically.
And their language.
Language is important. Essential. Don’t allow it to be corrupted.
Something eating the dead elephant occurs in nature.
Great comment, TS
Great advice in your words, thanks.
Thank YOU, Saami
TS
You have the necessary mindset to survive what’s coming, if any of us survive. One silver lining among all the indisputably dark clouds: that mindset is exclusively on our side; the other side abandoned logic and an ability to grasp and deal with reality long ago. Thanks for the great comment.
Great post Robert. And I’m stealing this… A society that corrupts science, the basis for discovering, describing, and employing reality, is doomed. Honest science requires free inquiry and debate. It is a never-ending process of proposing, testing, evaluating, revising and discarding hypotheses for new ones with more explanatory and predictive power. There is no such thing as settled science. The claims that there is with regards to climate, coronaviruses, or any other scientific issue are nothing more than admissions that the purported science is propaganda. Unchallenged science is a contradiction in terms; challenge is the lifeblood of science… BRILLIANT!!! Chip

Steal away. You and anybody else who wants to “steal” anything I write (other than my books, only parts of which can be “stolen” via the fair use doctrine) are free to do so. Thanks.
One of the best articles I have read from the Platform in awhile. If I ever use that corrupt science bit someday, I will be sure to give you credit. Again excellent article and spot on!!!!!!!!!
“A society that corrupts science, the basis for discovering, describing, and employing reality, is doomed.”
they’re not abandoning science (they love science), rather they’re trying to get you yourself to abandon it, or failing that to cut you off from it, in order to control and use you for their own ends.
Thanks, Robert. Of course, you can only have a great comment if it is fueled by a great article.
“the other side abandoned logic and an ability to grasp and deal with reality long ago”
no they didn’t, they are highly rational and logical. it’s just that they don’t speak to you as a fellow human, but speak to you in order to herd and control you like the animal they see you as being.
Very good comment, Mr. Thistle!
Thenk Yew, Your Magginess.
As to just how f’d up our military is? General Milley supposedly broke down in tears the other day at a meeting about Afghanistan. He was in tears relating how all the gains made for women in Afghanistan will disappear if we don’t keep sending our young people there to get killed and maimed.
I think it has more to do with the Afghan dancing boys but who knows?
Is there a medal or ribbon for Bacha Bazi participation by NATO troops?
Milley may have info on that. I see the exploited NG is getting a campaign ribbon for protecting DC from Les Deplorables on 1-20 and 3-4. There was no campaign ribbon for Guadalcanal but one for standing around in the cold in DC for Nancy’s political theatre.
Pathetic.
Well that is what he meant about the girls. The feminized young boys. The bacha bazi. Left wingers will say we are repressing the young (forced) trans boys lol.
Fucken general was crying that he will lose his meal ticket to the MIC retirement fund if we pull out of Assfuckerstan.
Hundreds of billions of dollars wasted for the CIA to keep the weakest of society hopped up on opium.
ZFG, out.
P.S. Patton would have slapped his ass for sniveling.
Opium that turns to heroin. How else can the spy guys keep funding their spying? Taxes are drying up or being spent to buy more votes.

A great book that explores the CIA and the drug trade for those interested is The Politics of Opium, CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade by Alfred W. McCoy. I’m using it as a source for my next novel. It’s comprehensive, covering from World War II up through the 1990s.
Have you seen anything about a guy named Strzok? Supposedly our FBI hero’s father was the guy in charge of heroin running from Asia for that “self funding agency.”
I haven’t run into him and he’s not in the index of the book.
Absolutely correct.
Obama purged the military brass. Trump did nothing to remedy that. Our top military “leadership’ seems to be very “woke”. This probably creates lots of discontent in the troops. I can’t see any of it as good, particularly since our government is still listening to Kissinger…
Trump did nothing of consequence anywhere. For all his lip service to the military he pretty much ignored anything that would have a lasting impact on quality of leadership and personnel. He also ignore the VA and its leadership issues. All he ever did is take some establishment peoples recommendations for hiring and then forget it ever happened. I really think he may have been the most incompetent president ever. No need to compare him to corrupt presidents, but on a competency basis, I am certain he is at or near the head of the pack. The man simply has no organization leadership skills whatever. I don’t know how he runs Trump Enterprises, but apparently it is without any translatable skills.
The military was still heavily engaged in “wokeness” all 4 fucking years.
The military vote wasn’t stolen from Trump. He didn’t have one.
It’s a wonder the Republican Party let ever him be their candidate…
I’ve thought they did it to intentionally destroy the Republican Party and help usher in the One Party State they seem to think we need.
Apparently, you were not paying attention when this all occurred. The Republican Party never “let” Trump be their candidate. In fact they did everything they could to prevent it.
It was the American people who put Trump where he was, and that is what scared the shit out of the Washington DC criminal cartel.
The thought of democracy actually working, is the darkest fear of the Government.
That is why we are now under a dictatorship that will ensure the people never have a say in their government again…..
wretchedly uninformed.
How so?
“Secretary of Defense Austin has called for a Department of Defense-wide stand-down to address extremism, to be completed by April 2. It is significant that this was one of SECDEF’s very first actions in office, and highlights the importance of the training that is to be conducted. The objective of this training is to address the subject head-on, ensuring that our military members and government civilians understand the issues with extremism, supremacy, and the incompatibility with our oath and Department of the Navy Core Values. The stand-down also provides an opportunity to reinforce our climate of dignity and respect for all.”
Reality is your best friend, I have discarded so much insane media hype this past decade that I seldom watch the news for anything but the weather report. I have doubts about it also, my mere existence is contributing to climate change, what am I to do. The inversion of electric cars being the future is an impossible pipe dream as electric energy does not appear as by magic. Reality is your friend, hypocrisy is the byproduct of virtue signals of the powers that be. They know that they are treading on thin ice. I don’t know exactly the time or place of the ultimate inversion that will signal the finality of it all. Until then keep your sanity the best you can, it is going to be very interesting!
How do you put out a lithium battery fire when a Tesla ignites? The short answer is, you can’t.
You can learn about it here- https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/03/04/how-do-you-extinguish-a-lithium-battery-fire/
Lots of other good stuff on the site.
Very interesting.
Electric is supposed to be the future but I have read volumes on why it can’t happen the way the progtards say it will. I find it interesting that gas has gone up $1 since shithead took office and my oil, gas and pipeline stocks are on a roll. My utility stocks are trending lower.
Here’s a good concise article outlining all the problems with the “progressive” plan to return the U.S. to the Stone Age with “clean” power.

The future will be railroads for a century – will become one of the last ‘growth industries’ for our kids. As for me – I am currently shopping for a gray percheron or two and building them a nice paddock at my farm. I have located a wagon that is in pretty good shape, and my son and I are going to give it an improved suspension system and likely outfit it with motorcycle tires and wheels.
You can stay in the collapsing cities if you want – but for me they suck. Either rural or urban, change is coming in the form of energy inflation as my industry has been hobbled by low oil prices and there is currently a fraction of exploration going on for new oil. That chicken is currently circling, looking for the roost.
Adapt or die – same as it ever was. The new twist is we will be devolving until we reach a different equilibrium with reduced energy.
Can I come live with you on your farm?
better get used to that question, Oilman2.
“The inversion of electric cars being the future is an impossible pipe dream as electric energy does not appear as by magic.”
you don’t get it. the effendi will have cars. you will not. you will provide them with enough electricity, or they’ll take it out on you.
I think they plan to kill most of us, probably in ways that will allow them to feel morally superior…
Unfortunately, you are correct. The fact is that the people are only an asset to the wealthy so long as they are needed to do the work that facilitates production, and fight the wars that keep the wealthy cartels in power.
We are quickly reaching the point where the people are no longer needed for either, and at that point, we become a liability. The wealthy do not want to be saddled with a large unemployed population that need to be fed and supported.
The wealthy are devising methods to reduce the population and therefore the amount of unproductive people that will become a drain on their resources.
“Climate and coronavirus dogma masquerading as science is the Trojan horse ushering in the great reset of a new world order.”
That is our situation in a nutshell. The man-made climate change and COVID-19 fictions were invented to control humans to bring in the NWO One World Government and cashless society. (The man-made climate change was tried first, but it was inadequate to generate the desired result, so they invented COVID-19, which has never even been proven to exist.) And the NWO will be successful. The complete capitulation of nearly the entire planet to the scamdemic demonstrates that they will be successful. But it won’t be all bad. I can’t approve of the methods that the NWO is using, but some of their results will actually be good, especially their goal to reduce the world population to 500 million. There are way too many stupid people on this planet, and getting rid of many of them will be good for the survivors. That is why I don’t have a problem with the vaccines. I am obviously not going to take any of them, but many of those who do will not survive, and all I can say is good riddance. Anyone dumb enough to take one of the vaccines deserves to die.
My two cents: piearesquared, you sound like a sociopath. If you mean what you say, you’re no better than the humanity-hating depopulation fanatics like Gates and Soros. If you don’t mean what you say, you should think twice before posting such hateful sentiments.
Doesn’t seem like a sociopath to me; just objective thinking. Where do you see hateful sentiments? Seems like objective sentiments to me. I see lots of ignorant people populating our country and many of them want something for nothing when these same people are to lazy to cultivate their minds with useful logic and reasoning. Many of these people have drank the kool aid of the pandemic and will take the vaccines. So are we to have remorse if these people die because of their ignorance?
I remember the 60s and 70s well as I traveled the world during this time in my life when in the military. I remember how the world looked so much better and people were nice. I think the population was only 2 billion and there was lots of room in the cities. All the beautiful places were not covered over with housing tracts and shopping centers. And the disease of ignorance did not have such a hold on the people.
When one looks directly at the reality we are now living in it doesn’t feel good. I remember some of the places back then and what those places are now I can tell that times have changed the space and atmosphere of those places. And what has changed it? Population. Government and it’s function change with population. Government can be managed better with a smaller population. The larger a population gets the more larger and out of control the government gets. It seems that many people are more like rats than we are willing to admit. Especially the ignorant ones.
It is not a pleasant sight to see homeless people living in the streets or on empty lots with all their trash and drug problems not to mention the mental illness that really government can’t do anything about. Some of these people have rabid minds that cannot be fixed. We put animals away with minds like this but putting people away is taboo. So we let them suffer in their world of mental illness. Because we are too conflicted inside to do the right thing.
As things are the world would be a better place with less population. Young people do not know this. But older people if they have been around and observed the times will have to agree that when the population was much smaller it was a much freer and happier time.
This- “There are way too many stupid people on this planet, and getting rid of many of them will be good for the survivors. That is why I don’t have a problem with the vaccines. I am obviously not going to take any of them, but many of those who do will not survive, and all I can say is good riddance. Anyone dumb enough to take one of the vaccines deserves to die.”- makes pie sound sociopathic, and quite “progressive”… I suspect that Woodrow Wilson is being channeled here.
BTW Thunderbird, most humans throughout history lived in abject poverty, constantly required to struggle merely to survive, while being subject to the predations of various raiding tribes, including tribes of warriors organized by Kings and Princes and Lords. “Free and happy” was something they couldn’t even dream about.
Where are you talking about? Europe? I lived in Micronesia for seven years in the 90s where people lived in poverty and didn’t see what you are talking about. Poverty is about a lack of money to purchase goods not trade them. People had plenty to eat, the children respected their elders and people were very happy. I lived in Hawaii for ten years and the people there talked good about their past and sung songs about King Kamehameha who brought them together under one kingdom.
It seems you have read too much false history which is the product of our false educational system.
Woof!
In fact, I’ve read an extraordinary amount of good history.
I talk about known historical trends, and you talk about seven years in Micronesia. LOL.
Thunderbird,
When I was a boy, I thought the Polynesians were the most fortunate people/society in history due to the circumstance of their location and the draw of their genetics.
They were physically beautiful people. Their men were strong and masculine. Their women were beautiful and feminine.
The vast Pacific, isolated them from other more populous and/or advanced peoples who might conquer them or merely trample them enroute to conquer some richer, more plunder worthy nation. That same sea provided food beyond the capacity of the people to exhaust.
Their volcanic soil and tropical climate provided fruit that most nations couldn’t even dream of. Just hanging there on the nearest tree. No need to get all hardscrabble about it. No need for careful planning or careful preserving. It’s just there. Year’round.
I don’t recall what fauna was present but fowl was plentiful.
Idyllic. Paradise indeed. Or so I thought.
The reality, learned decades later, is one of violent tribal warfare ending in ritual slaughter and enslavement for the vanquished. There were people who were an ‘untouchable’ tribe. Need a slave? A man slave? A woman slave? A little girl slave? Well dammit man! You know where to lie in ambush.
Does your village need a new Great House? Can’t set the main pole without a living human at the bottom of the great post hole. Good grief, can’t have a great house without a spirit now can we.
You mentioned King Kamehameha. Know how he became king? Over decades (centuries?) of tribal war, there came a time when there were only two tribes left. Both powerful. We all know: “In the end, there can be only one.”
In the ensuing war for total domination, King K’s forces drove the other tribes warriors, along with their wives and children, up a long incline which ended in a cliff. The plain was far below the precipice. The losing tribe, nearly completely attrited, chose to grab wives and kiddies and take the long fatal plunge over the cliff into oblivion. Better oblivion than the ritual torture and enslavement that would be their lot otherwise.
Even in paradise, where life is not the struggle it is for nearly everyone else who ever lived on Earth and with no real outside enemies, no true ‘others,’ we, as a species, manage to find reasons for conflict and total war.
I take it you haven’t realized we aren’t the same species yet.
Sociopaths are not human. I realized that a long time ago.
Not only are sociopaths human, they are the most “successful” humans. They are the leaders of all governments and industries. They run the world. They will walk the earth when all the rest of us are gone. Sorry to melt your snowflake…
The 20th century has taught us that material comfort does not equal happiness
Be poor if you want to. It’s really easy…
True dat but having enough for basics sure don’t hurt
That is not hate, it is a fact. There are way too many stupid people on this planet. You cannot deny that.
The planet is over populated, and most of the people at least in North America, and Europe are just plain stupid. So stupid in fact they cannot even determine what is, and is not, in their own best interests.
In the end, every society gets the future they deserve, and build for themselves.
Unfortunately, ours is going to be ugly, very, very ugly.
“It is very true what you say about the higher races of men, when high enough, replacing & clearing off the lower races. In 500 years how the Anglo-saxon race will have spread & exterminated whole nations; & in consequence how much the Human race, viewed as a unit, will have risen in rank.”
–Charles Darwin
Too bad the opposite has been happening.
Could you give an example? Thanks.
Have you never heard of demographics?
I have.
Can you give an example of the “lower” races exterminating the “higher” races?
Thanks.
“Doesn’t seem like a sociopath to me; just objective thinking.”
he is, and from his perspective it is objective thinking.
Apparently, it’s also objective thinking from your perspective.
To me, it seems you are both wrong.
You really should educate yourself. Reality is what it is, not what you think is should be. Mankind has been in a feedback loop for most of its existence. Mankind develops civilization, which in turn creates prosperity.
That prosperity in turn, causes humans to become ignorant and weak, which causes the eventual downfall of the the civilization.
The less prosperous people of the world, who struggle for survival and use their wits to survive then move into power and prosper until they themselves become the victims of prosperity.
Pie, natural selection. Amen!
It’s not “natural selection” when governments intentionally murder people, no matter how it is accomplished.
It is when the people have the power (collectively) to prevent the Govt. and refuse to.
How will that work in the real world?
Underwood Farley, It starts with people taking their power back and being responsible for themselves. Become debt-free and live that way, wherever it may take them. Get rid of the consumerist attitude ( keeping up with the Jones).
Stop participating in things (legally) that give the beast power
Stop participating in the retirement schemes. You are not going to see any of the money anyway.
Question everything and everyone, including the familial Tribe’s beliefs and programming.
How does one stop participating in “the retirement schemes”?
Underwood, technically it IS natural selection when people die because of the actions of their governments. Natural selection just means that those who are not able to survive in their environment are eliminated, freeing up additional resources for those who are able to survive. Government is part of the environment of all humans. If those people don’t survive because of the actions of their government then they were removed by natural selection. That is just the way the world works. I am not necessarily saying that it is good or bad – I am just saying that that is the way it is. And I am not a Woodrow Wilson-like progressive (or any other kind of progressive). Progressives think they have the right to decide who survives and who doesn’t. I do not claim to have that right. I am saying that natural selection will make those decisions.
Governments are part of the natural world? Is that your contention? Please, explain.
Man lording over Man…
Expert rule? Monitored by the Elites?
so Pie is suggesting that the extermination of 15 out of every 16 people on the planet would be a great thing. You make Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc look like reasonable folks…..
neither Darwin nor Malthus promised a pretty world–Just one that keeps on going and selecting.
It’s been well known for centuries now that creating governments with limited powers and the assigned duties of protecting life, liberty and property will produce better results than anything else.
Underwood, strive for anarchy and maybe we will get a small enough Govt.
Anarchists are useful idiots for totalitarian minded.
Anarchy after the French Revolution brought on the Terror, and then Napoleon.
The anarchy in Russia brought on by the Tsar’s horrible policies in WW I gave rise to the Soviet Union.
I suppose you think it will be different this time.
You seem to be ignorant of the meaning of anarchy. It simply is the belief that government is inherently evil by its nature.
Which is undeniable.
All government is based on the premise that one person has the “moral right” to impose their will on someone else.
In order to justify this premise, you must justify how this power to impose your will on another is moral. Where did you get the power to impose your will on others?
In the end, all government is based on force. The forced imposition of one persons will upon someone else. Anyone who thinks this can ever be moral is the very definition of a psychopath.
Ummmm, people eliminated by their gov’t: Democide.
Murder.
Anyone dumb enough to believe that GloboCap will spare them when the time comes deserves to die.
Sounds like you’ll be one of the sheep walking straight in the front door of the abattoir.

Absolutely correct Mr. Gore!
When we can get the people (of both sides) to question the Tribalism that has dominated their lives, maybe we ascend.
The Tribalism dichotomy goes back to the actual tribes and the physical need for safety in numbers.
Today, the Tribalism is (as you said) the Religion of Govt. It also is the sense that people feel the need for organized Religion to fix their lives.
“Trust in God” or “God’s got this” typifies why nobody on the Right is fighting back. (See the Trump toadies and 4 years of promises).
They keep waiting ( as all of their forefathers did) for a God to bring a paradise or take them to one.
How many people here and everywhere actually even think enough to question the programming and or Religion they were raised with?
People of all ages need to ‘tip the boat over’ get off your intellectual asses and do something!
The tribalism on the left is their God of govt taking responsibility for their miserable lives and blaming it all on someone else. There is less ( I think) hope for these people to wake.
This is my argument against anarchy. All people will revert to some level of Tribalism (rightly so) for survival. For the sake of humanity all followers of organized (and some un-organized) at this point should be questioning if God is going to bail humanity out of the mess they have made. Furthermore, what good would bailing weak people out do?
While there are strong religious people and strong spiritual people they are quite a minority. God killing all weak and evil people is probably not going to happen even if one believes that the Great Flood was that. Just assume (empirical evidence) that justice is never going to eliminate evil and conversely evil will never eliminate justice.
We each have divinity in us and Jesus said that we could perform the miracles and greater works than he did; get busy people!
Start in your own life and if each person does the hard work we create a personal paradise and thus a paradise on Earth.
An even smaller tribe than that of the community of Faith is the “progressive” tribe. My rough estimate is that only 20% of Americans actually support “progressive” goals and methods. “Progressives” know this, which is why the constantly present themselves as the majority. They aren’t.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to post anonymously.
Underwood Farley
Underwood, Tribes come in all sizes. A local bowling club, supper club or any other group that has ‘rules’. These rules are enforced by excluding approval by people who don’t conform. As Groucho Marx said:: ” I would not want to join any group that wanted me as a member”.
Voluntary associations are great, until they attempt to gain power over others, and do.
Government is always involved in some tribe or other gaining power and wreaking havoc.
Currently, Marxists are trying to use government power to gain control and wreak havoc.
It will end as it always has.
You underestimate the success of the Government school indoctrination system…….
Progressives are actively practicing a form of religion, taught to them by government and corporations via the school system and media. The vast majority of people are sheep, and believe what they are told providing it is reinforced and they are accompanied by others.
Rebels (conservatives) are the minority and resist indoctrination, opting instead to think for themselves.
from the song……..the preacher and the deacon were praying one day, along come a bear coming down their way. The preacher told the deacon to say a prayer, he said the Lords prayer won’t kill this bear, we got to make it baby, we got to run for it
First, tribalism goes all the way back to animal packs.
Second, you have to realize man in his current form is a hybrid, half-evolved species.
Our brains allow us to understand logic and reasoning, but our animal instincts still dictate the majority of our behavior.
The psychopaths and sociopaths among us tend to gravitate to leadership positions being undaunted by morals and ethics they are able to cheat and lie their way to the top.
They often tend to be perceived as charming because of their ability to lie and deceive. This helps them to succeed in government, business, and even mating and reproduction.
Of course psychopathic behavior is dictated by greed and selfish tendencies and is rarely logical or reasonable, so our evolutionary process is being hampered by our primitive animal origins.
Will we ever evolve into truly intelligent human beings? Maybe not…..
Wow, wow and wow!!!
Robert,
This is your pièce de résistance!!
Nice piece Robert on today’s post-truth world. Where you can’t believe anybody who says anything because truth doesn’t matter anymore.
The first time in our society that moral decay and total corruption has reached epic proportions that the mind has a little difficulty trying to process it all unless you’ve been locked away in an insane asylum most of your life.
Just your typical Fourth Turning stuff. People repeating history. It’s happened before just that there are few people left to tell you first hand about the last one. Absolutely no one left to tell about the one before that.
Glock and Anon
Thanks a lot. The battle begins in the mind and must be won there if we’re to have any hope of winning.
Good people have already won that battle, and we are the majority.
Uh… I don’t think so. From what I can tell most people are dumb fuckers.
…and should be killed off, so superior people like you can live in the New Garden of Eden?
Probably you need to find better people to hang with. Just sayin’.
Sorry, that’s probably not what you meant at all.
The people who win, are always the psychopaths. They are the ones intent on forcing their agenda’s upon everyone else. They are confident in their assertion they know what is right for everyone else. They despise the notions of individual sovereignty and liberty. They are not restricted by morals or ethics, they are the evil among us.
Truth is essential. If you don’t realize that, you are a problem.
“Progressives” will exterminate you if you are a problem for them…
Truth, or not?
Are you surrounded by corrupt liars of low moral principles?
I’m not.
I suggest you find better friends.
What is the difference between the Black Death and the WuFlu?
The Black Death really was deadly, and it was deadly to a lot of the ruling class.
It is quite lame to call this a pandemic. A real pandemic kills more people than you can bury. Like a third of the entire population.
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
A nice sentiment! I intend to have as much fun as I can, until I can’t. members.
Currently, I am able to help quite a few friends and family members. I recommend you do the same if you can.
I’m not sure what the “life I deserved” really is, or was… No matter, I have the life I got.
There is something about reading a piece like this that is equivalent to watching someone work with tools- you see the expenditure of labor taking place with each word being laid out, one after another and in place of that energy loss, a structure starts to emerge. The swinging of a hammer, over time, reveals the structure that wasn’t there before.
A joy to read even if it was about something unfortunate that occurred.
We’ve been tapping maples this past; installing mainlines, fixing harnesses or fitting lids. The drilling, the tap, tap, tapping of spiles into maples, the plonk, plonk, plonk of each drop falling into the antique bucket, one after another, outdoors in the freezing blue air under an azure sky. While most people scurry from one building to another faces swathed in cover, in the greater world outside, we work shoulder to shoulder with our friends and family, each one busy with a task, moving with purpose from tree to tree, one grove to the next, across the ice polished snowbanks. We break when we get hungry and move into the sugarhouse where we deep fry potatoes in tallow, dig fresh sauerkraut out of 150 year year old crocks, brown sausages in copper pans with chopped onions and pickled peppers, everyone eating from the same common platters, digging into handmade mustard or sprinkling fire cider on the crispy fries as they glisten on sheets of butcher paper.
This is what we’ve given up for modernism; our connection to the seasons, to the bounty of Nature herself, to honest labor, and ancient traditions, to communal meals and honest connections with informative conversation and well earned nourishment, to truth, purpose and more importantly, to meaning.
The first lesson I try and pass on to each person who joins in with us is to pay close attention to each tree, to look at it as a living organism either in full health or decline. To examine its bark and branches, to look for damage or sickness, to determine if it is one to tap for its sweet sap or to bypass for its journey back into the carbon from where it came.
The American organism, that Nation, dream, ideal- whatever it was- is dying. Anyone can see that if they only look. All of the sweet rewards that we’ve reaped from it are memories now and there is nothing that lies ahead but the slow dissolution of matter and its absorption back into the ether.
Moving on is what is now required. It is time to start forming new communities built on resilience and connection between each other. To stop participating in it as if it were still the beautiful organism it once was and allow it to go on its way, to provide a new soil for a future that has yet to manifest itself, but most certainly will in one form or another. This is what we can do- to focus on the word by word, swing by swing, step by step construction of a future that will nourish and provide for us if we simply do the work required and not shirk from our responsibility to be a part of that structure.
Time to head back out and keep tapping.
Great elegy Robert, as always a pleasure to read your work and know I am not alone.
Thank you HSF.
As we proceed through the dark days ahead, it’s crucial to remember the following:
Moving on is what is now required. It is time to start forming new communities built on resilience and connection between each other. To stop participating in it as if it were still the beautiful organism it once was and allow it to go on its way, to provide a new soil for a future that has yet to manifest itself, but most certainly will in one form or another. This is what we can do- to focus on the word by word, swing by swing, step by step construction of a future that will nourish and provide for us if we simply do the work required and not shirk from our responsibility to be a part of that structure.
Hope and the quiet heroism of providing “a new soil for the future” are essential and rational. One has to look over the valley to the other side.
Thanks for a great comment.
Amen… Chip
HSF; not only was that an absolute pleasure to read over my morning cuppa, but now my stomach is growling over your vivid description of the wonderous menu, and its setting. I practically never get hungry this early. What a dangerous gift you have, Sir. 🙂
HSF
In my earlier comment, I forgot to mention that I will move heaven and earth to attend your July 4 gathering. After reading your food description, reserve an extra big plate for me.
I really hope that you can make it. Fill as many plates as you want.
“The American organism, that Nation, dream, ideal- whatever it was- is dying”.
The American dream was originally liberty. Liberty in its simplest form is individual sovereignty or self ownership.
When the United States of America was formed that was a extremely radical idea, that a human being could actually own themselves. Until that time, every human on earth was the legal property of another, usually a King or Queen. Only Kings and Queens were sovereigns.
The American dream was short lived, and almost before the ink dried on the Constitution that created liberty for the common man, liberty and sovereignty was being undermined by those men who desired to usurp power for themselves.
Today, people think the American dream is prosperity, but as history teaches us, prosperity is most often the end of liberty….
When people began to trade their sovereignty for prosperity and comfort the American dream died, and that happened long ago.
More and more, this is looking like the FOURTH TURNING that has been predicted. It looks like there will be a great culling in the process of righting all the wrongness in society today. God commanded the Jews to ELIMINATE the inhabitants of the promised land, likely because there was no reforming them. I can see this happening in this day. Many in the WOKE culture CANNOT BE REHABILITATED. In the end God has the final word on all this and what the Bible says is not a pretty picture. God help us all.
Is God going to be in charge of the coming “culling”, or will it be maniac radical Marxists?
You want to kill the Woke? I prefer to wait ans see if God does it…
The woke and Russia and China will go after the Christians and the Jews and God will go after them in the Great Tribulation judgements and at Armageddon at His second coming.
All preceded by the Rapture of the true church of Jesus Christ of course.
did you just claim Russia will go after Christians? hmm
Communism, and various other forms of authoritarian governments, require that all Faith be placed in the Party or the King, unless they can co-opt a religion, as the Emperor Constantine did. They are committed to exterminating all other Faiths.
What are you doing about it? I bet nothing.
You write an article and that’s that! Total B.S. sit back and let these things happen.
Have you been poked? My guess is yes.
I’ve been visiting this site for the better part of 5 years. What has anyone done but, complain.
“Stand up and be counted!”
Go fuck yourself. I’m sure you’ve been poked.
Nice comeback. You do the same!
Haven’t and won’t.
I’m actually doing something about it. Are you?
Why don’t you “stand up and be counted”!
You little bitch!
What are you doing? What difference have you made?
If you think you make a difference you are delusional.
Change can only come about from understanding and knowledge. Articles like this teach people and that is the most important thing anyone can do.
Nothing will change in America until people reject the teachings of the State, and begin to think for themselves.
The vast majority of the people of America have been brainwashed by public schools to the point where they can no longer understand logic and truth.
Unfortunately, I do not believe any meaningful change will happen until some crisis lowers the living standard to the point where the average person experiences poverty and discomfort.
That in turn will motivate them to begin to try to understand what has happened to them and why. They will finally understand everything they believed were lies.
When that happens, articles like this will become important, as the people desperately seek truth.
TGC
For the record I have not been poked, nor will I submit to it. I’ve been leery of government-mandated vaccinations since our normal three-year-old had a reaction to a vaccine cocktail in California and subsequently was diagnosed with autism rather than the heavy-metal poisoning that I believe would have been the correct diagnosis. He’s fine now, twenty years later, but it was a struggle.
Yes, I write articles. The articles I and other writers, including Administrator, have written since the beginning of this Coronavirus scamdemic have opened eyes, which is the first perquisite to doing something about it. What, may I ask, have you done?
Thanks for the update.
I have convinced several family members and neighbors to not get the shot.
I don’t usually wear a mask in public places. The Karen’s are always giving me the eye.
We all have to start small. Our resistants will grow.
Admin. You are still a little “bitch” for your response!
I’m in Minnesota. Where you at?
You didn’t answer Robert’s question because you’ve done jack shit. One useless asshole comment in 5 years. I bow down to your tremendous efforts in making change in this world. You’re just another useless jackoff.
And learn how to fucking spell resistance.
Your children or grandchildren would be proud of how you talk!
I answered his question!
What have you done? I bet you got poked.
You have this little website that begs for money. BTW. It’s a good website.
I’ll keep visiting because of Mr. Gore.
Oh and ya……..you are still a little “Bitch”!
I don’t know what the site has done without your brilliant commentary all these years. Little Bitch is all you got? Are you a 15 year old girl?
Your initial comment was to insult Robert and now you say you come here to read Robert’s articles. Are you as big an idiot as you appear?
I think we may have a new Village Idiot.
Hey f- tard. He gave me a truthful response to my rant. I respect that and understand what he said.
You on the other hand are unable to see above it all. You have a simple mind!
Little “Bitch” mind!
Yep. We have our new Village Idiot. What a maroon. I take dumps with more substance than your inane comments.
admin,
i’m about to turn in 4 the night & you just had to post about your dumps–please take that comment down so i don’t dream about your dumps–
thanking you in advance–
You are such a little “bitch”. You think you you are an intellectual. You are a fucking piece of dog shit. Educated by sucking things!
You try to convince people to think like you!
You have no purpose in life. What is your purpose?
Tell me please!
Are actually the administrator of this site or is that the name you gave yourself…….wanting to be important? You jackoff!
You haven’t even reached the level of shitstain on TBP. I hope Admin will no longer pay attention to you. I know I and 99% of everyone here, that reads your comments above won’t.
Bad day? Heck couple of bad days??
Ouch, that’ll leave a mark. ;0
Mr. Green, assuming you have been observing here for five years you would realize many here do many things, some of which have value. LOL!
You would also be aware that people here tie things together and present what is really happening, days, weeks, months, a year or more in some cases before the MSM or government hacks provide the same information. Any kind of army today depends on accurate information and the Deplorables here know more of what is going on, where, how, and by whom than the overwhelming majority of uninformed dolts wasting air repeating garbage and lies from CNN, NBC, MSNBC and other sociopathic “news” organizations. THAT is something of value generated here. What we or anyone else does with it does not negate the value which results from our “sitting around and complaining.”
Do you believe posting non approved thoughts here does not constitute “standing up and being counted?” I guarandamntee Them and They have noted most of us, probably long before now.
There are people here whose names were gathered by the Mueller people because of our relationships or correspondence over the years with their targets.
I hope you will reassess us old do nothings, what we risk, and what we contribute.
I’ve got some fight in me……not with you though.
I’m on the side of right……..vs wrong!
What are we all doing? We can talk and rant. Me included. How is that helping the greater good?
Carpet,many folks do things to better the situation,here it is passing along knowledge and skills thru articles and posts like this good one by Mr.Gore and many others.
I would say another is sharing other good troves of info,here:https://archive.org/details/armchaircommando/0190201177WrongHandsPopularWeapons/page/n9/mode/2up ,have posted many times but this time for you(and any others interested actually).
In the world of face to face folks share skills whether med/firearms/alt energy ect.
Many folks at moment working with local pols on passing bills like the one in Missouri basically nullifying federal laws that are unconstitutional and more important opposing birth rights.
I could go on but you get the point I am making(hopefully),what have you done to help yourself and others in your team/clan/community/tribe?
On a side not did not neg you as would rather discuss/debate(unless I am really lit then a prick!) and saw that AC-Dc tour in the early 80’s as a young lad and actually saw them as a backup band with Bonn!
Nice.
“Back in Black” is probably one of the best albums of all time. Top three for sure.
What are you doing about “it”?
I mentioned it above.
Can I ask what you are doing about “it”?
I’m old, but I find my self able to help friends and family from time to time, and I try to keep my neighborhood a neighborhood.
I also donate $$$ to Cato, and the Reason Foundation, and have donated in the past to NRTW and Judicial Watch. From time to time, I send money to Hillsdale College, and I keep poking at the mush-head editor of our local news site, not that I really expect him to alter his views.
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time and money actively trying to force our national government to adhere to the law. (I’d post a link to the case I filed against the IRS, but it’s un-published, as are most rational cases brought into the federal courts regarding constitutional taxation. ) I could link you to my testimony before a Congressional committee regarding the illegality of forced unionism, or the case that we won in federal court with the help of NRTW, but that probably wouldn’t impress you.
Every little bit helps!
I subscribe to Reason Magazine, and their newest edition really po’d me. “The Dark Future of the GOP” with Senator Hawley raising his fist on the cover.
You think the future of the “GOP” is bright? Why?
Could you give me a quick summary of what you said? Thanks.
Please, mention it again. Thanks.
Robert, your article is very thought provoking and that is why I had to read it for a second time. But I must admit that I disagree with your premise that this Inversion is the result of the fear of being disliked or ostracized by the group. This is a symptom of a bigger problem, that is over population and it’s affect on our institutions and thinking.
For our country President Trump was and is right for slowing down immigration while Biden acting in a presidential role is wrong for opening the borders to massive immigration. Over population is overwhelming our social institutions like schools, medical services, housing units and numerous other services that cannot provide due to too many people. Is it selfish to only allow small amounts of immigration? You bet it is if we want to survive as the American experience.
We really need to slow the population growth in this country and we can do it through immigration policy. Ask yourself the question: who is responsible for the world wide population explosion? It certainly doesn’t come from the white race. So it is a fact that the white race isn’t responsible for over population so with immigration control we can control the growth of the population in this country.
For the rest of the world mother nature is handling the problem. Starvation is going to be the big factor.
Some years ago you may remember that an experiment was done on rats where over population was allowed and what a difference in their behavior. Now fast forward to 2021 and the human race so we see the same thing happening to homo sapient as happened to the rats. So now you write an article as to where all this is going and I believe you.
There is an interesting phenomena that happens in the races when prosperity comes along. For the white race it is population reduction while the other races it is population explosion. It is just the opposite when their is little or no prosperity.
So many people want to immigrate here because they think there is prosperity for them when they get here an so they begin having lots of babies. And with more babies comes more welfare.
Today our cities are over crowded with little room to build due to over population. And you know who is over crowding because it sure isn’t the white race that is doing it.
America is a place that was created by white culture. My great great grandfather had ten children to help on the farm. When the industrial age came machinery came that reduced the need for farm labor. And so the population of the locals became stable and the size of immediate families became smaller.
And so today the population is not growing due to whites but from the other races that have big immediate families due to their prosperity.
So now we have over population in the cities where most of the jobs are and we are suffering the same fate as the over populated rats did in that experiment of years gone by.
We have the ability to save this country from the fate that is coming to the world due to over population but since we have ignorant leaders elected by ignorant people who out number the sane ones it look like we are doomed to the fate that is coming to the world.
Good by the city of light on the hill.
Who will you have killed first?
UF, although i dont agree with style, i do hear your message and i have accepted that this group THINKS it will be killing rioters and trespassers in the future – many seem to be hoping to do some fish barrel shooting. what i find amusing is there has been work on actual population reduction that doesnt require holdomore level events. Daniel Quinn and the story of B points out that 10% of people starve no matter the level of food production. So if we increase food production than a larger number of folks will die. if we slowly reduce food production than birth rates will also reduce to maintain that 10% of starving population.
There is convincing empirical evidence that prosperity reduces the birthrate, which makes taking a position of liberty and protection of property the only known viable way to “control” population- let people be free under a government of equally applied laws that protect life and property, and you will in fact be saving the planet!
“Who will you have killed first?”
a more relevant question is how many will scramble fast enough to avoid being killed in the general draw-down?
Let’s try hard to avoid a “general draw-down”.
A good start is to discourage tribalism…
The lawyers, of course.
And leave no lawyer behind….
I propose that killing all the politicians would be more appropriate in today’s extraordinary environment.
All of them?
“who is responsible for the world wide population explosion? It certainly doesn’t come from the white race.”
I disagree. We were wrong, or misguided, or greedy, or manipulated by others, but we created that explosion. We directly feed them now, but we gave some of them agriculture, and all of them got our technology, sanitation, medicine, transportation, etc. We even spread some to new continents.
Some races didn’t even have the wheel, ffs. Of course this is our fault.
And they breed under conditions we don’t. We’ve created our destroyer.
Helping people with better technology (or charity, or government forced “charity”) won’t have the desired effect unless they also have good government, meaning a government that protects peoples lives and property.
“What do you mean “we” White Man?”

From an old joke. I’m having fun, as is my goal!
The corporations are the ones who have consciously lobbied to keep the populations exploding to create ever growing profits. The first thing you learn when you graduate from the diaper corps of business is that everything in this world is done for money. Everything.
People really do not understand the control major corporations have over everything that happens. They control everything. They own the government, they write the school books, they fund the scientific studies, they own all the media, they control foreign policy and even wars.
They are your owners, and you are their livestock. You do what they dictate, and think what they instruct you to think. The forefathers wrote of the dangers of corporations and how they would work with the banks to steal everything from the American Citizens. That is why permanent corporations were not allowed in early America.
Thank you for the post, Robert. For those deceived with whom I wish to engage, I will ask them: “Why do you pretend your cowardice is virtue?” It applies to both covid and political correctness. I know there is a piece in there somewhere, but I just haven’t been spending as much time on the interwebs (other than here, of course)
I hope so in this particular turning. I really do
Thank you Robert. That was the best read I have had in a long time. You said everything I have been thinking but have been unable to articulate in a clear, concise manner. I would love to be able to write even half as well as you. Well done!
Nocte
Thank you.
Once upon a time I couldn’t write half as well as I do now. It’s like anything else, if you really want to do something and you put in the time and effort, you get better and better at it. The one thing I swear by is ruthless, relentless editing. If you get to the point where readers say your writing is easy to read, you know you’re editing well. However, there is no finished writing. Anything written, including the Bible, the Talmud, and Shakespeare, can use more editing, with the possible exception of this poem.
Fleas
by Ogden Nash
Adam
Had ’em
Try as I might, I can’t figure out a way to edit it.
Strunk and White helped me, but I often deviate …
Strunk and White is one of the first books on writing I’d recommend. It’s invaluable.
What would Strunk and White have said about Ogden Nash? Nothing I expect, it’s not the type of good writing they were trying to promote.
I’m going to go out a limb here and I mean, spindly, narrow, outlier twig, the outer reaches of the organism that is the tree, but that outlier space is WHY I am hare, why I started to prepare, and why I started to question everything that THEY say.
In 2003, November’ish, I had what some might call a fever dream, others, an hallucination, others still, a vision. In it, I saw a fourth-world United States. Third world nations have emerging (growing) economies. What I saw was NOT that, but a first world nation that is in total collapse, with all of the advanced infrastructure of a first world nation sans ANY functionality. Nothing worked. No lights, no petroleum, no HVAC; no water, no government anything, and no comfort. The US was “given over” to do as we will . . . and, according to what I saw, “we” do.
Most people in the “modern” world do not understand that hunger has physical AND psychological effects that are not “understood” in a clinical sense, because forced hunger is an aberration to study; to study it is to FORCE it . . . is to violate the Nuremberg Code . . . is TO BE a Nazi in the most horrific “concentration camp” sense of the label. But, in the real world, there is proof enough to suggest that some people lose their sanity when confronted with extended bouts of hunger, and this is what I saw: people, lost somewhere between the horror of zombie-ism and the repulsion to cannibalism, who hunt/eat/kill to satisfy the belly without considering the abomination that it is. To survive . . . they eat whatever is available, because, whatever is available means survival. The primitive mind reigns supreme.
In this scenario, the “Warlord” model is, perhaps, further down the progression, borough-to-borough, but what I saw is block-to-block at best, building-to-building on average, and floor-to-floor at worst. (I would prefer to be diplomatic in my description, but, maybe this is not the time. . . ) Trafficking of humans, exploitation, rape, and consumption (cannibalism). Slave labor for farming/marauding/warfare, food prep, sexual gratification, and food. Inhumanity not as an exception but the rule. Those who will not “indulge” are consumed.
I have already spent more time on this than I care to, but tell me . . . with the recent push for “lab grown meat”, for “bitelab science” that creates food from human genetics, for the “pushback” against beef/pork/poultry by “elites” like Bill Gates . . . tell me that the dehumanization of “conspiracy theorists” does not have a sinister overtone, one that suggests the “eradication” of the opposition is a beneficent idea?
And why not? Harvesting humans must SURELY be a positive contribution to the environment-god.
Niebo,”Harvesting humans must SURELY be a positive contribution to the environment-god.”
Hmmm….,Soylent Green type outcome?
As a kid/now adult rather a Omega Man outcome,both seem very possible though,or,even a combination.
Fewer humans=nearer ZERO carbon. . . . .
Are you sure about that? The Earth’s historical climate record says differently.
No matter, current research shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide is not in fact a major factor in the changing climate.
“tell me that the dehumanization of ‘conspiracy theorists’ does not have a sinister overtone, one that suggests the ‘eradication’ of the opposition is a beneficent idea?”;
you’re correct, right down to the vocabulary. the ones behind this see themselves as the humans, and the rest of us as talking animals put here by god to be used as resources – to be bred and culled and harvested at their whim. and the word “beneficent” is exactly precisely the correct word to use – their language has no words for “good” or “evil”, only “beneficial” and “harmful”, with themselves as the target object in EVERY circumstance and ALL considerations.
“And why not? Harvesting humans must SURELY be a positive contribution to the environment-god.”
more specifically the ones behind all this see it as of benefit to themselves, being their own god.
You’re talking about the uber-wealthy slave owners in my state and Virginia?
They thought just like that…
The “progressive” vision is very constant. They seem to be proud of it.
robert,
good stuff as usual from you–
you wrote about peer pressure & intimidation,check this out–
a divorced dad in windsor,ont has lost custody to his ex b/c he is a hard core anti masker & lockdown protester–
the judge stated that “when” the covid pandemic is over he will reconsider his ruling–
As the father I would judge the judge,with,well…….,a Judge!
You’ll be in a lot of trouble if you shoot a Canadian judge.
Excellent piece Robert–just so well written I have nothing to add or comment..bizarro world is the new norm.

99% of our problems would be solved if we could convert this to The Fletcher Memorial Home.
prison gate.
I don’t have that many problems… Which of them, specifically, will be solved?
“To think for yourself or believe with the group? To stand alone or cower with the crowd? It’s the conflict between the individual and the collective, and between what’s true and what’s believed.”
so, you’re right if you’re alone. yeah, those on the fringe right display that attitude all the time.
no, you’re right if you’re right and you’re wrong if you’re wrong. and if you’re alone you might want to double-check your view.
Do not the fringe right and the fringe left have much in common?
I submit that both are anarchic, which explains why they have so little appeal and do so much damage.
My vision of the political spectrum is not linear, but circular. Radicals at both “ends” actually join at the bottom of the circle.
“Do not the fringe right and the fringe left have much in common?”
both are self-centered and see the universe in terms of themselves. it’s all about them. if it’s true for them then it’s objectively true – if it’s false for them then it’s objectively false.
where they differ is in their view of other people as such. leftists, copying the religion of their owners, see themselves as the one and only tribe of humans – all other people are talking animals to be put to work serving the tribe. fringe rightists however are sociopathic, they see themselves as the human and other people as oppressive aberration’s in the proper order of the universe (notice how many of them have 100,000 cartridges of ammo and talk about “one shot one kill” – they’re quite serious).
Making slaves of people outside The Tribe has always been common, but people came to understand that making slaves of others is sociopathic behavior.
I don’t know anyone with that much ammo, but the people I know who have a lot of ammo believe they will need it to defend themselves and their families and friends. They will probably do quite well against roving gangs of anarchists, which is probably why the useful idiots called Antifa are staying in the gun-free cities.
I only ever got to know one person who thought to be pre-emptive about it, trying to kill “them” first, and he ended up in a federal prison, justifiably so.
In the end, people get the government they deserve.
Our country was founded by pioneers who valued freedom and individual sovereignty above all else. The people who immigrated later, did not share the pioneers love of liberty, and were more than willing to trade liberty for prosperity.
Today, you would have a hard time finding anyone in this country who even truly understands the concept of individual freedom and sovereignty much less be willing to risk safety to defend it. I hate to say it, but, I am ashamed of my country, and my people…..
Immigrants to America, even far into the “Progressive” Era, came to America because they hoped the idea of America, as they’d heard about it, was True in Reality.
Ex-slaves like Stephen Douglas tried to believe the same.
“Progressives” fucked it up.
The majority of people in the world would still like to believe its true.
Try ‘Frederick’ Douglass. Stephen Douglas was a Demo politician that ran against Lincoln.
Good catch
It was actually quite easy. Good catches are more difficult!
Thanks. I misspoke, and circle back to say I meant Frederick, as was obvious in context.
I’m old. Forgive me for that. Thanks again.
I’d argue more dangerous: https://www.theepochtimes.com/sen-scott-woke-supremacy-is-just-as-dangerous-as-white-supremacy_3726629.html
Well, seems to fall in with the – unaware, wont rebel, can’t rebel, unaware- orwellian pitfall but in the link is a lot of the heavy lifting done for you, your translator may never regain it’s composure!
