THIS WAS A TEST, AND WE FAILED

“The Truth, when you finally chase it down, is almost always far worse than your darkest visions and fears.” ~ Hunter S. Thompson

Image

I think Hunter S. Thompson is being proven right by revelations becoming obvious daily. I’m a natural skeptic, so I rarely believe anything I’m told without verifying facts, analyzing data and understanding the motivation of those making declarations and assertions. For most of my life I thought I generally understood how the world worked.

Doubts about my understanding began to creep into my mind between 2000 and 2008, as I watched my government cover-up the truth about 9-11, use it to institute an Orwellian surveillance state through the Patriot Act, invade Iraq based upon a false narrative of WMD and links to 9/11, and watching those controlling the Federal Reserve create the dot.com bubble and follow it up with a housing bubble – all done to benefit Wall Street banks, billionaires, connected politicians, and Deep State apparatchiks.

The national debt was $5.6 trillion in 2000, the budget was as close to balanced as it had been in decades, the defense budget ($300 billion) was at decades low as there was no major conflicts in the world, and term limits were still a legitimately discussed election issue. If someone was told on January 1, 2000 that in 2021 the national debt was going to hit $30 trillion, with annual deficits of $3 to $4 trillion, a defense budget of $750 billion as war looms on the near-term horizon, and all semblance of governing through legislation to benefit the citizenry had dissipated, they would have laughed, accused you of being a conspiracy nutjob, and said the nation would be a hyperinflationary banana republic with 50% interest rates if any of that came to pass. The truth is always far worse than your darkest visions and fears.

What has occurred in the last year has befuddled me, as the level of treachery, deception, disinformation, and false narratives has reached excessive elevations, indicating a sense of urgency and desperation by those wielding power over society. It has been depressing and frustrating to witness the level of obedient compliance by the majority of frightened sheep in this country, with complete subservience to authoritarian dictates of their overlords.

The extremeness of the response to a bad annual flu virus leads me to believe the truth behind what has happened and is happening is far worse than most can conceive or comprehend. The level of pure malevolence and disregard for humanity exhibited by the despots wielding power over our political, economic, medical, and social structures has pushed the country to the edge of civil chaos, calculated political pandemonium, global conflict, and unavoidable debt manufactured financial collapse.

Sometimes I find myself wondering whether I’m the crazy one for not believing a piece of cloth will protect me from catching a flu virus with a 99.8% survival rate, or not voluntarily allowing a Big Pharma corporation, with no liability for the consequences of its experimental gene therapy, to treat me as their animal test subject to increase my survival chances to 99.85%, or questioning why I need to wear a face diaper because I can catch the virus while walking to my restaurant table but not once I sit down, or why six foot distancing is safe but 5 foot distancing is dangerous. Why are the predictions of doom by “experts”, which never come true, overlooked and disregarded by the corporate fake news media?

Why did Dementia Joe call the governors of Texas, Florida, and Mississippi Neanderthals six weeks ago for ending mask mandates and this week he ended the mask mandate for the entire country? I thought he followed the science. But it appears raging inflation, a terrible jobs report due to his policy of paying people not to work, a hemorrhaging border crisis, gas pipelines proving to be somewhat important, the Middle East exploding, and his woke executive order agenda being ridiculed on a daily basis, convinced Joe’s handlers to distract from his 100 days of disaster by reversing the ridiculous Covid restrictions and sending the Covid cult into convulsions of fury.

Their pathetic lives of mask virtue signaling, twitter haranguing, and vaccination shaming are about to be invalidated, as a return to normalcy will relegate the Biden brigade to their previous status of inconsequential drones on Facebook posting pictures of their nine cats.

Image

What little faith I had in humanity after this past year of cowardly compliant obedience to totalitarian governmental dictates and proclamations, was fully extinguished this weekend while making an early morning stop at Wal-Mart. The Biden administration’s sudden reversal on masks, after fear mongering and preaching doom for months, immediately led to Trader Joe’s, Costco and Wal-Mart announcing no more masks required to enter their stores, with an unenforceable caveat about being vaccinated. After a year of mask mandates, I pondered whether I should enter the Wal-Mart like this fine gentleman.

But I just sauntered in like everyone else, expecting to see dozens of other unmasked Americans breathing fresh air, thankful to be free of those disgusting face diapers which have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to reduce the spread of this over-hyped annual flu with a scary name and largest marketing campaign in history. Instead, I witnessed dozens of masked sheep still following orders even after those orders had been rescinded by their self-appointed science shepherds.

An overwhelming feeling of disgust swept over me, as I only witnessed two other sensible human beings out of the hundred or so roaming the aisles. My disappointment with the vast majority of citizens in this country has now reached all-time lows. I am chalking it up to a new version of PTSD, in the era of covid hysteria, PMSD (Post-Mask Stress Disorder). A large portion of the populace have developed a mental illness, purposely provoked by their own lying government and authoritarian politicians. This entire scam has been a lesson in abuse, fear propaganda, lies, false appeals to science, and censorship of the truth.

There are now millions of sheep who do not know how to readjust to reality and lose the masks, which convinced them they were brave, noble and “in this together”. Trying to use facts and reason to convince these people masks never worked and their chances of dying from this flu were no higher than the annual flu is a useless endeavor. The Covid Cult cannot let go of their mask virtue signaling because they will lose that feeling of superiority and arrogance towards the unmasked masses.

The loss of this covid cudgel is being rapidly substituted with these Big Pharma multi-billion-dollar profit generating experimental gene therapies, disguised as vaccines. They desperately want to condescendingly force the jab upon everyone and force vaccine passports upon the masses as their new virtue signaling badge of compliant obedience. After spending tens of billions of your tax dollars on a vaccine marketing campaign, employing famous athletes, Hollywood influencers, medical “experts”, and non-stop TV commercials, only 37% of the American population is fully vaccinated. It has been a gigantic FAIL.

Everyone who wanted to be vaccinated, is vaccinated. They have resorted to cash payments, million-dollar lottery prizes, free donuts, free burgers & fries, and a multitude of other bribes to get the jab. Now they are falling back on the totalitarian methods used during the lockdown. Get the jab or wear a mask forever threatens Dementia Joe. Colluding with corporations and schools to force employees and children to get the jab. Threatening to impose vaccine passports to travel, enter sports and concert arenas, and to generally cancel the non-vaccinated. It is failing.

With only 37% of the public sheeplike enough to get the jab, any “woke” business that continues to invoke mask mandates or require proof of vaccination will find their profits dissipate faster than Trump’s lead in swing states at 3:00 am. If you were to believe the fake news media and government drones, you would believe the majority have been vaccinated and the “anti-vaxxers” were a crazy conspiracy theorist minority. As with most things being fed to you daily, this is a big fat lie. The rational, resistant (not hesitant), critical thinking MAJORITY are done with this scamdemic. Biden and his handlers are being forced to throw in the towel, for now.

The propaganda press polluters of the truth are still selling a completely false narrative about the vaccines being the reason cases, hospitalizations and deaths have plummeted since January 1 of this year. The excess mortality rate in the country is now back below the averages from 2015 – 2019. The crash in death rates occurred while less than 15% of the population had been vaccinated. The bloviating about needing 70% of the population vaccinated to stop the pandemic is complete and utter bullshit.

Masks never protected anyone from infection and the vaccine is unnecessary to resume normal life. This flu follows the same infection pattern as the annual flu (which mysteriously disappeared from the globe in 2020-21) and has run its course. Vaccine rates per state are showing ZERO impact on the downward trend of cases and deaths. They are falling and have been falling with or without the vaccine.

The India variant and “surge” fear mongering has fallen on deaf ears as their death rate per 100,000 is only a fraction of the U.S. and U.K. These propaganda tactics have worn out their welcome. Very few are believing the feckless mainstream media miscreants. Their ratings are lower than whale shit.

Image

No matter how hard they try to reinstall the fear, enough people are tired of this farce to derail further attempts at lockdowns, mask mandates and vaccine passport requirements. Every day with declining cases, vaccination rates, and deaths makes it harder for the Covidian cult medical tyrants to pretend there is a national emergency. Their sense of desperation is palpable. This sense of desperation is seen in their attempt to force this experimental therapy on children and their complete lack of concern or acknowledgement of the hundreds of thousands of adverse reactions and thousands of deaths attributed to their gene therapy experiments on human guinea pigs.

These medical experts and doctors seem to have forgotten the first rule of their Hippocratic Oath – DO NO HARM. More likely, they sold their souls to Big Pharma for big bucks. The science says 1 in 300,000 of children under 18 will die from Covid but based on actual data 3 in 300,000 will die from the vaccine. They are pushing these vaccines on children for profits, not for health reasons. Always follow the money.

Where Do Covid-19 Vaccine Stocks Go From Here?

I believe Solzhenitsyn’s famous quote about “how we burned in the camps later” regarding what would have happened if they resisted and killed their oppressors when they had the chance will be restated years from now when the long-term consequences of these experimental gene concoctions are felt by the children forced to participate in this evil experiment. If we had only resisted.

This is communism in a new repackaged marketing campaign, where Bernays’ propaganda techniques have been perfected through technological mind manipulation by Big Government conspiring with Big Tech and Big Business. The tripe of political correctness, wokeism, anti-racism, cancel culture, and fear of the annual flu has been taken to a level never seen before. Theodore Dalrymple captures the essence of this new communism.

A Member of the Squad Goes Rogue - POLITICO Magazine

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ― Theodore Dalrymple

Dalrymple is correct in pointing out how these modern communists use humiliation and shaming to ram their false narratives and authoritarian agendas down our throats through the power of fake news media and the Silicon Valley social media censorship tyrants. They blatantly flog provably false narratives through their media mouthpieces, disguised as impartial journalists, medical experts, university professors, and anyone the masses might look up to. Those who knowingly assent to these obvious lies have become just as evil as those telling the lies.

The lies have been piled high in the last year as the annual flu was weaponized to cover-up the disintegration of our financial system and as a means to fraudulently conduct a coup against a president; the deaths of two black law breakers were utilized to usher in the colossal lie of systematic racism bought into by woke corporations and college campuses across the world; a clearly stolen election was declared honest by those controlling the narrative; lockdowns and masks were pronounced to be the only way to slow the spread even though all data refutes those assertions; an armed insurrection (with no arms) lie on January 6 has been used to wall off Washington DC and sell the big lie of white supremacy being a threat to the republic; the Federal Reserve creating trillions out of thin air and pumping it into the pockets of billionaires and Wall Street fat cats has not created raging inflation and an all-time high in wealth inequality according to the talking heads on CNBC and the rest of the fake news media complex; emergency use authorized vaccines were the only solution to a flu that doesn’t kill 99.8% of those infected, even though ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine have proven to be effective and safe in combating covid; and lastly these vaccines have been declared safe even though they are killing and maiming thousands and no one knows the long term effects on those who have chosen to be their lab rats.

Image

We have become a society of emasculated liars, purposely deceiving ourselves because we are too cowardly to admit we have been had by those ruling over us with an iron fist. As a society we have decided resistance is futile and if we go along to get along, we will still be allowed to subsist, play with our techno-gadgets, and be sent stimmy checks, welfare payments, and be granted the ability to pay for stuff we cannot afford on credit. The willfully ignorant have chosen to become debt slaves and obey their masters, rather than resist tyranny and demand their independence from this dystopian nightmare we are currently living under.

We continue to elect corrupt politicians and willingly follow the orders of traitors, crooks, and despots, so we have become collaborators, rather than casualties. As a society we do not want the responsibility of freedom and have gladly exchanged our liberties for the illusory chimera of security. Those controlling the levers of power have taken advantage of this cowardly trait to abscond with the nation’s wealth and keep the masses in constant fear of new bogeymen (terrorists, white supremacists, flu viruses, and now aliens).

As I observe what is happening over the last week or so, I fall back on the words of the patron saint of sanity in a world gone mad.

Image

Everything our government tells us every day is a lie. Biden’s sudden reversal on masks, supposedly based on science, is a lie. The story about the DarkSide Russian hackers shutting down the Colonial pipeline is a lie. It is just as likely it was done by the CIA. If a pipeline can be hacked then voting machines can be hacked, but they continue to lie about that. Anyone with critical thinking skills knows this virus came from a Wuhan bio-lab, which was funded by Fauci to develop these gain of function viruses. Fauci lied to Congress and has lied to the American public since February 2020 about masks, lockdowns, risks, and vaccines. They are lying about vaccine effectiveness and risks.

CogBlog – A Cognitive Psychology Blog » Unraveling the mechanism behind “a lie repeated a thousand times becomes truth”: A cognitive account

Every time Jerome Powell or one of his Fed cronies opens their mouth, they are lying. Anyone with any financial acumen knows stock, bond, crypto, housing, and virtually all markets are experiencing the biggest bubble in world history, but the financial “experts” tell you to buy before it is too late. They are lying because they are paid handsomely to do so. Lies about the selfie insurrection in the Capitol continue unabated. Biden and his handlers have been lying about their man made purposeful border crisis. Lies about Dominion voting machines and rigged election results are perpetrated by the paid hacks on CNN, MSNBC and even Fox, every day. The lies will continue until morale improves, or the ruling class can abscond with another trillion or so.

This pandemic is over. It has served its purpose to those in power. Biden is now playing the part of President Snow in Hunger Games by giving the plebs a little hope. Dangling the return to relative normalcy in exchange for being jabbed with their DNA altering cocktail is the latest narrative being peddled to the sheep. Many have or will make that trade. But, as of now, the majority are not falling for it. My hope is the spark is not contained and that good men and women do not stand idly by while evil continues to flourish. It is time for decent human beings to stand up and be counted and not allow a darkness to settle upon this nation, ushered in by the likes of Gates, Schwab, Soros, Obama, Biden, Bloomberg and their ilk.

Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long … | Fear, President snow, Dark horse

The ruling class would prefer a Hunger Games plot where they continue to pit groups against each other: blacks versus whites, masked versus un-masked, vaxxed versus unvaxxed, liberal versus conservative, men versus women, modestly rich versus poor, taxed versus untaxed, and neighbor against neighbor. They want us fighting each other so we do not realize they are the true enemy.

This entire plandemic was a test to see how far they could push us before we pushed back. As a nation, we failed the test miserably. They are loosening the reins for now, but they now know they can force the masses to cower and beg for safety and security. They are supremely confident they can easily manipulate the masses, based once again on using the Big Lie method.

Recent developments make me suspicious something big is happening and the narrative is going to take a dramatic turn. First the take down of Cuomo by a previously fawning press and now the man who bankrolled the pandemic, creepy Bill Gates, is in the process of being taken down over his relationship with the king of pedophilia – Jeffrey Epstein (who didn’t kill himself). Fauci is about to be thrown to the wolves over his funding of the Wuhan bio-weapon lab. All the pandemic superstars are being cast aside.

Why now? Crucial infrastructure is supposedly being hacked. War is breaking out in the Middle East. Saber rattling between China – Taiwan and Russia – Ukraine is provoking worries of global conflict. Raging commodity inflation, labor shortages, and financial markets giving signs of an imminent crash could be the trigger for the next leg down in this shitshow portion of the Fourth Turning. Something big is coming and I expect it will happen before the 2022 elections. If you thought the last year was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. But don’t worry, the planet will be fine.

At one time I thought that if we could get get the right people elected, heads would roll and the justice would prevail, but then those people turned out to be as easily corrupted and compromised as the people they replaced. A long as money has the last say, evil will reign supreme. What can be bought will. What can’t will be killed. Outside of divine intervention, expect more of the same.

It’s not secret police when we do it.

” The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called “signature reduction.” The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

No one knows the program’s total size, and the explosion of signature reduction has never been examined for its impact on military policies and culture. Congress has never held a hearing on the subject. And yet the military developing this gigantic clandestine force challenges U.S. laws, the Geneva Conventions, the code of military conduct and basic accountability.”

I forgot where I read it, but I am always keen on an old Latin proverb from Publilius Syrus, I believe, “The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.”

This is the world now. Fear of the inevitable being bombarded on you by everyone and everything and hopelessly following every bad piece of advice or requirement from an utterly inept, logic-devoid, panic-inducing, quackery specialists that change their positions more than the fucken tides roll in and out.

If the government and all its mouth pieces are pimping something on you to the nth degree, then you should absolutely refuse to do it and refuse it with absolute prejudice.

Absurdity and theatre have become the standard operating procedure to cull the masses’ logical processing and turn them into a weeping mass of chicken shits that will swallow every last shovel full of bullshit that is fed to them now.

I can see how Hunter had an intricate sight into the workings of the corruptocracy that has never lost its hold on the world and no government is ever in it for the people. NEVER! The sooner people realize, which as a whole will never happen, that government brings about nothing good the sooner they can get on to being a free-thinking renegade frontiersman society again.

Panic porn always dumbs down most everyone.

This planet has been here long before we ever crawled out of the primordial ooze and developed into bipedal destruction machines. It will be around long after we go extinct.

Our tombstones, if we are lucky enough, will read: “Died from their own stupidity.”

I used to stress out about how dumb the world is. After 5+ years in the airline industry, 13 years of military service, 26 countries visited (several rampaged in to be precise) and now working in the infrastructure industry I can say with complete honesty, and without any pride, that humanity starting running off the cliff a long time ago and the fulcrum is never going to get back into balance. We went past ninety degrees and there is no amount of counter torque to bring it back.

Humanity is just like any other herd animal: eager to follow the outliers. Although we should change that to outright liars.

ZFG, out.

P.S. Save who needs to be saved and kill those that need to be killed. This is about conserving resources now.

When you look at the greed and idiocy coming from the survivalist/prepper/patriot community you realize those guys would sell their mother out for an MRE. Most of them just make up whatever BS they think will sell and their groupies gobble it right up. How many of them now own a tactical kitch assault tomahawk??? Or 50 survival manuals they never read?
I too saw the world, 9 yrs USNR-USMC, 30 countries before age 30 and woke up along the way to see this is only headed downhill by greedy corrupt elites and stupidity/brainwashing of the masses, who are too dumb to even fight their way out of a successful coup. And my big question; where was that wondermous NRA and it’s 100 million gun owners thru all of this, the backbone of America? Hiding out in their living rooms watching monkeyball after they swore off never to support those kneeling traitors.

The only reason I was wearing a mask in stores (not at work, thru the last year plus, ups ramp, phila, pa) was because I was almost in a few fights . I would be the only one, and it shot up my stress level , and made me angry.

Can we save America while we are inside Amerika? I don’t think so. The Amerikan Stasi are everywhere and will pounce on you like joggers on fried chicken if you make the slightest serious move against the Empire. IMHO, the best plan is for freedom loving Americans to move overseas (anywhere else but Amerika), organize, then invade and retake Amerika after it collapses from its logical inconsistencies.

Being on the inside means you will go down with the ship when society collapses. “but I’ll be in my hidey hole by muhself and will pick off them thar varmits when they come on muh property.” Riiiiight. An Army of One is a recruiting slogan, not a plan of action. As a famous Communist leader once said, “Quantity has a Quality all its own.” One sharpshooter might hold off a rifle team, but not a battalion much less a division. If said battalion has mortars or artillery, game over individual fighter.

Practicing OPSEC, I’m not going to name countries I’ve got on my shortlist, knowing the Stasi monitor this site. That being said, it doesn’t take much to find, evaluate, and decide on which country out there is more free than Amerika and would be a good base of operations for future action. Now is the time.

i take it youve never been outside of the states then. the rest of the ‘western’ world is a dozen times more slavishly obedient to the globalist clique already. america was the last castle (and already heavily compromised), and theyre busy throwing down what’s left of the walls there. the third world? it’s been kept disorganized, powerless, dependent, under control, as well. so where exactly would you go? i regret leaving the states, and lament that i might not manage to get back and have to try to survive through this bottleneck phase here in europe with my hands and feet tied by already tighter control and monitoring of everything, by already having the whole population disarmed, by already having so much more of the entire economy institutionalized into long term dependence on the center, by already having a society where basic concepts of liberty simply never occurred to 95% of the people. The game is only about how to scame a few more bennies out of the system, or complain about ones ‘rights’ which equate to more special bureacratic wrangling about getting Free Shit. What you see in the welfare class in the states, what you see in the worst blue states/counties/cities over there, thats _all_ of europe. switzerland the only exception.
so, the global south? you just gonna show up there and expect to not be eaten alive? anything that matters for the global masters, is firmly under their control- islands of militarized exclusion zones owned/controlled by global corporations or western governments, surrounded by a sea of desperate and vicious almost-cannibals who will skin you alive for a pack of cigarettes. The misery in the third world is fed by the industrial world keeping those regimes in place to control resources or some strategic geography. everyone else is just incidental.
yes this beast will fall. it’s already collapsing. but it’s still taking a good while to do that, and it might not mean a whole lot to you if theyve eaten you before they collapse.
stay in america and resist. if the globalists can’t consolidate their rule very soon, it will fall apart. if they consolidate the same power over america as they have in europe, then it’s quite plausible that they buy themselves another decade or more. By then, they’ll have wiped out almost anyone who ever had an independent thought pass between his ears. and hasnt been _very_ good at hiding. here in europe the choices are, flee to america, build a boat and flee onto the oceans, or come up with a damn good plan to try to disguise onseself and outlive the beast. ive been working on the flee to america angle as the best of the three choices. i maybe sealed my fate to this continent when i married here, wife absolutely refuses to leave and doesnt even want to discuss the matter. she knows what’s going on but thinks that she’ll somehow magically escape it. her whole strategy is ‘hope that it goes away’.

this is one of the hugest differences between america and the rest of the ‘developed’ world: you still have LOCAL governments, law enforcement, courts, and such institutions. They might be corrupted or compromised, but theyre still institutionally local and autonomous. Any organized human society more complex than dunbar’s number or so, is going to need institutions, and it will have them. When those are already in place and tightly controlled, it’s terrifyingly difficult to replace them or change them. You need to get involved and keep your local institutions local, and turn your backs on the bigger systems.
In europe it’s been thus far almost futile to try to awaken any consciousness of local independence and institutions – their zombie forms still exist and people dont see past the forms – but those froms are totally owned and controlled by the center, and exist to stop any local initiative from coalescing. Start at your county, your sherriff, your town’s council and mayor, your local judges, and in parallel, social institutions outside of government – in america this often means churches. hell, even if you dont care at all about religion, you need to understand the social value of a church. Thats another thing that’s compromised in europe- churches are often roped into government control and funding.
get involved and keep it local! keep it local and keep it personal, avoid electronic and corporate-mediated means of communication or association. Don’t broadcast information about people anywhere. meet people in person and get to know each other as _people_..
every chance you get, in america, you _can_ still push back legally against this crap. You dont need to use electronic media to get in touch with your neighbors, but you can use it to spread and share real information to keep poking holes in the official lies.

answering your second first – the options these days are, elsewhere in the ‘western world’, the third world, russia, or china… or live on a boat. i dont think that emigration from the us to either china or russia is very realistic unless one is chinese or russian, so pretty damn sure that his ‘secret’ list of destinations were either elsewhere in the western world, or in the third world.. bringing us to your first question, i addressed europe and the ‘global south’ as more or less synonymous with ‘the rest of the western world’ and ‘the third world’. maybe i squeezed canada and Down Under into the same basket as europe? but they’re following very similar trajectories, so it’s apropos. The global south/third world? aside from some ‘rich expat’ type setups those countries are not very welcoming to gringos relocating there. even if you manage the legalities of it, the daily reality is not going to be welcoming unless you can absolutely 100% blend in invisibly.
Im sure there are some tiny niches that must be on his secret list of destinations, but theyre also probably pretty effing unlikely destinations in reality. aside from the rest of the western world and the global south, where exactly is left for a man to go? hop a lift with elon musk on his rocket to mars?

Jim, Thanks for your blog and this article. I find your analysis comforting, if for no other reason than the sense of kinship it provides. Your quotes are particularly enjoyable. This comment was hopeful, “… enough people are tired of this farce to derail further attempts at lockdowns, mask mandates and vaccine passport requirements.” , if incongruent with the fuller article, “We have become a society of emasculated liars, purposely deceiving ourselves because we are too cowardly to admit we have been had by those ruling over us with an iron fist.” Our global society is itself, similarly incongruent. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for a great article. We should be viewing Covid-19 and the size of the stimulus packages through mathematics rather than a prism of emotion.For all the noise made over Covid-19, many people might be surprised to find out that it was not the leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020. It came in third. While the so-called experts say “follow the science” it might be a better idea to look at the real numbers. More on this topic in the article below.

“it might be a better idea to look at the real numbers”

Yeah, it might be ….. if there were any.

Covid19 was NOT the cause of death of the majority of people for whom it was listed as a primary cause of death on their death certificates. Because of the unreliability of testing, many(most?) of those for whom Covid19 was listed may not have even had the virus. Most did NOT die OF the virus; many did not even die WITH the virus.

This was a test, and we failed because we failed to reject the falsified stats that propped up the narrative.

I haven’t worn a mask for a year now. Of course when the fake virus was first announced we all took precautions. Then as the truth leaked out of how low your chances were of getting seriously ill if you used the right combination of vitamins and supplements combined with a good immune system some of us realized you didn’t need a stinkin’ mask.

I was the ONLY PERSON not wearing a mask in Wal-Mart or Wegman’s grocery store or Home Depot for months. Occasionally I was asked to put one on but when I flashed my Virginia Executive Order #63 hardcopy that states anyone with a breathing problem is exempt from the mask mandate, 99% of the time I was allowed to continue shopping maskless.

This was all part of the Trump take-down. How evil our rulers are to wreck the economy in order to bring about the “great reset”.

Jim, you’ve put into words the exact thoughts those of us who are part of the great awakening have known for some time now. What amazes me is how far the low IQ population has fallen. There are hardly any critical thinkers out there anymore.

What has happened to bring about such obedience to tyranny?

Don’t confuse high or low IQ with the ability or lack of critical thinking. IQ doesn’t measure the ability or likelihood of using critical thinking or even basic reasoning.

In all honesty, open carry is a very dumb thing to do. You are announcing to the world you have a weapon on you and many will react in very stupid ways, (especially the idiot Karens) and you’re now the primary target.
Concealed works to your advantage, and when the time comes to use it, the intended target will get the surprise of his life, because he will not be warned ahead of time by your exposed weapon.
Aside from hunting season here, whenever I see someone open carrying, I think they have a screw loose, and in most cases, that’s exactly right. Some noob shows up here and has to show off his new tacticool look, and makes an idiot of himself. A wise man does not show his hand, or announce his skills to those wishing him harm. You will NEVER see any of the SpecOps community walking around with exposed firearms, they’re trained to know better.

No you don’t get my point…I DON’T GIVE A FUCK…and everyone knows it when they see my OPEN CARRY…and my body language and eye contact…I guess your right… I have a screw loose…because…I DON’T GIVE A FUCK.

I just started open carry during this covid bullshit…where ever it is legal…and guess what…it works!

I keep a folded Kel Tec 2000 in a hand bag in my truck with 15 15 round mags. I often carry brass knuckles and a knife. I am and always have been the wrong man to jack with…because I DON’T GIVE A FUCK!

I am over polite…it’s my nature and the way I was raised, I smile a lot…and many have misjudged me because of that. I have proven over and over and over to be one of the most dangerous men I have actually known when threatened, provoked or attacked. I have many scars…and I hope to get more…if well earned.

Listen up…I get your choice…but let me say it one more time…I DON’T GIVE A FUCK…I’m not wearing a fucking mask…and don’t challenge me about it.

The only times I have been challenged about not wearing a mask were in three stores I could not legally be in open carry…so I didn’t do it.

But trust me…I did not go quietly into the parking lot.

“Something big is coming and I expect it will happen before the 2022 elections. If you thought the last year was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. But don’t worry, the planet will be fine.”

A very fine article. I hate to sound so pessimistic but by the 2022 elections I expect the deterioration to be much worse.

A certain prophecy of old is coming close to being fulfilled as the Israel-Gaza war resumes and worsens. Most Christians are not aware of it because it doesn’t fit the Zionist narrative they’ve been taught so they are looking in a much different direction for fulfillment.

Israel has been talking of the West Bank Annexation for several years now. Their intention is the removal the Palestinians so that they can have a Jewish majority state and I am of the opinion this is one of the the driving forces of this current war.

Most people don’t know the Palestinians are of Jewish descend. Most are Muslim by faith, but they are not Arabs. It is one of the reasons why they are hated so. They have been in the area for a very long time, probably descended from those that survived the Roman attack in 70ad. Many of these Palestinians are Christians. It is THEY whom this prophecy would refer.

The prophecy is found in Revelation Chapter 12 (Dust off the old Bible. Grab a comfy chair. Crack it open. Read with me.). Basically, Satan is thrown out of heaven onto earth and he attacks the “woman”. She flees from the “flood,” or armies, that Satan has chasing her. The earth “helps the woman” and swallows the flood. The woman goes into the wilderness where she is protected by God for 42 lunar months (3 and 1/2 years) from the face of the serpent.

So if the war escalates to the point that the Christians flee, then this would set the stage. The Christians (along with other Palestinians) run. They are being violently chased, probably by a throng of settlers and army, when an earthquake intervenes.

This would be the beginning of the Great Tribulation. After Satan finishes with the “woman,” he then goes after others who associate themselves with Christ. In my mind, that would include any country associated with Christianity, especially the West.

This is the reason why I think things will be progressively worse.

that specific length of time is mentioned in a few different places – ive always taken that to indicate that the events described were concurrent – the woman ready to give birth being chased and hiding in the wilderness for 3 and a half years, but also the reign of the beast and the imposition of the forced worship of the beast’s moving, talking image (no lack of talking moving images these days), and of course the imposition of the mark.. also happens in a 3 and a half year span. i had always read it to indicate that those were the same 3 and a half years. It is certainly looking like all the pieces of that picture are falling into place. i’m not sure the 3 and a half years has begun yet, and indeed, christians fleeing from the forces of the enemy. seems like it’s getting mighty close though.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lockdown…it was a BLAST!

My wife and I built our dream house during it, never wore a mask one frigg’in time, had six weeks with my daughter, son in law, and 9 year old grandson when they fled NY State during the worst of it and hunkered down on my NC farm. Me and the boy fished the pond, zipped around 14 acres on a two person go-cart I bought him (he drove most of the time), taught him how to play chess, shoot a bow, sling shot, BB Gun, played darts (the kid has a natural snap), pitched balls for him to hit until he finally put one over the barn…it took a couple hundred swings, and worked him everyday teaching him chicken wrangling, gardening, fruit tree care, played Risk, Clue, Monopoly, cards, had him belted in my lap on my Zero Turn mower that he loves to steer…and watched dozens of great classic movies together.

Read him most of Proverbs at night (some of it is way too dark for 9 – but he got most of it – you could see it on his face) and answered some amazing questions from him…out of the mouth of babes…the kid is super smart and has a good heart.

Thank you asshole Governor Cuomo for running them out of your asshole state and the fantastic time with my family!!! We all had a great time together.

The only crowd I was around were at the lockdown protests in Raleigh…80% of who stayed mask less…like me! Enjoyed marching around our asshole Governor’s mansion with three lines of nervous in the service cops standing around. We stay peaceful…but were loud…and defiant!

Some see conspiracies everywhere. I see you point out 9/11 cover up. All of these conspiracies have one thing in common, there is no way to disprove them. However, like most BS simple logic helps. If a conspiracy involves more than a handful of people, as the 9/11 would have, there would have been leaks and huge leaks. But of course this won’t convince you because no matter what you will blurt some false narrative.

Same with the elections being stolen – How could the democrats be so well organized and smart ahead of time? How many people would have to be bribed and keep quiet?

Bankrolled Pandemic – Could it just be govt incompetence as usual or is it some big coordinated coverup? A plan as it were?

Your views are skewed by your political bent. However, just like all conspiracies, there will never be enough evidence for you to change your mind. Its a built in bio-mechanism that we all have. Good luck pushing this garbage, people eat it up. But quite frankly its just stupid and if you really thought hard enough you’d realize how ludicrous it is for one to think that Govt is both incompetent and able to hide huge conspiracies.

I spent the last week in the West chasing turkeys across three states . In Kansas and Nebraska very few folks were wearing masks . In South Dakota no one was wearing the mask except the occasional tourist . The shop owners in South Dakota were quite proud of not wearing masks and to top it off most shop keepers said their business last year was up 30% or more because they were open while vacation spots across the country were closed . Covid was a boom for them .

The difference between us old farts and the young folks is pretty evident . We had my friends son in law join us on this trip . He’s a Gen Xer . He likes crypto currency even though I ask him how he’d get his money if the grid was down ( he never thought about that),he always followed the rules and even commented on how I didn’t. He was reading about the past crises but was enamored with the Federal Reserve and their ability to avert disaster even though they he admitted created the disaster.

One last point. The worthless bitch flight attendant on my return flight home decided that my mask wasn’t adequate because it slipped down in the first five minutes of boarding the plane . When I came back she had laid a disposable mask on the seat . I waited until I cooled down and ripped her ass . I asked how sanitary was it to lay a mask down on a seat wear folks including myself has sat ? I waited until the last 3rd of the flight to point out that a dozen and a half of passengers had their masks below their noses and the teenage kid in front of me was asleep with no mask on at all . I told her that her selective enforcement of proper mask wearing was bullshit . I told her to look at the other folks and to my count she had to tell 23 folks to pull their masks up. When I got off the plane I told her to quit being the mask Nazi .
