Our Origins of Violence
Two phrases, taken together, probably constitute the origin of violence and conflict throughout the history of mankind. They are the imperative command “Submit,” and the responsive challenge, “Or what?” I am guessing billions have died as a result of that conversation, because the follow-on to “or what” is when the stabbing, hacking, shooting, and bombing starts. If one wishes to avoid that violence, it is best to avoid forcing that discussion.
In war, there is a military strategy called the “Golden Bridge.” It is used when fighting a determined and powerful opponent that you may be able to defeat, but not completely destroy. The Golden Bridge is a path for a defeated enemy to retreat from the battlefield. This idea comes from Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu who wrote In the Art of War, “Do not push too hard on a desperate enemy,” as this will cause him to fight to the death, which in the end inflicts a much higher cost on your own forces. The goal is to defeat the enemy with the least number of casualties and expenditures of resources on one’s own side—thus maintaining the strength and capabilities of your own army, and in the case of internal conflicts, maintaining a recoverable semblance of order.
The opposite of the Golden Bridge is the World War II German Army strategy of “kettling.” Kettling comes from the German word for cauldron, Kessel. It is used against one’s enemy in order to destroy it or force its unconditional surrender. There is no retreat allowed, and the objective is to isolate the enemy and cause the maximum amount of misery and chaos prior to a final crushing attack.
If we examine what is happening in America now, it is possible to make out the initial shape of the ruling elite’s strategy vis-à-vis their political opposition—and it looks like a cauldron. Through legislative actions such as the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, H.R. 1 federalized voting law, gun control, Supreme Court-packing, and D.C. and Puerto Rico state initiatives, one can see the kettle forming. If you don’t see a Golden Bridge, it is because there isn’t one.
If we listen to the words of the politicians and their bureaucrat handlers in Washington, we can hear the language of the imperative, “Submit,” with no post-capture options. And, if we look at the current zero-sum game of political warfare, cancel culture, and the weaponization of the Justice Department, federal law enforcement, and intelligence agencies, we can see deliberate preparations to answer traditional Americans’ “or what?” response.
The ruling elite appears comfortable delivering the command “Submit” to traditional America, and are not concerned with the consequences that will follow. But they are not fighters, and as such, they plan to use their weaponized federal agencies and useful-idiot brown shirts to do the dirty work. In their ignorance and arrogance, they believe employing violence-by-proxy is a safe strategy. They do not see the reaper that is staring directly at them.
So far they are getting away with it while the Conservatives drone on about gun rights and freedom.
I know gatekeepers like this are not part of the solution.
It was clear after the first 2 weeks of “flattening the curve”, when they continued their idiotic strategy, that this was not simply stupidity but malice. They could have kept face if they had just called it a day at that point.
Next opportunity for the Golden Bridge was the voluntary versus mandatory vaccines. But on and on they go and are turning up the heat on the cauldron.
Why is it that most of us stand idly by, given all of the weapons in citizen’s hands in the US? It is for the same reasons that Australians are, even though most of their weapons are unregistered – because once the conflict starts to turn violent, our lives and that of our children’s are irreversibly over, and everybody wants to avoid that as long as possible, it is human nature. But the day will come, and those that think they are immune to our vaccines will be surprises by its resolve.
They’re trying to provoke an a violent response in order to justify a violent counter-response.

I don’t believe that. Since they manufacture reality all the time there is absolutely no need to wait on an authentic reactionary movement, they can just make one up and blame it on whoever the choose.
This is more about using humiliation as a tactic in a long term strategy. Voluntary submission is far more powerful than the boot on the neck variety and it lasts longer.
They can do both simultaneously, but they’re licking their chops for an actual, real violent reaction to their provocations. This is obvious.
Police forces are using the kettling tactic to corral protesters, not always successfully.
This is a sign of the times, and very hard to understand how the press reacts. It is a bizarro world going on.

The outcome will be total war, and there will be no compromise.
Press reactions are very easy to understand if you simply watch the commercials between their broadcasts.
It is supremely evident this is why Grandpa Puddingcup was installed as the Potemkin President; the evil left is going for broke by jamming the entire agenda through in the first year. They know they have precious little time to destroy that which we love and make their money.
They have given themselves no way to retreat from their current position without major losses, so I expect they will try to take it all the way. They have eschewed direct force so far, but they’ve lost forward momentum and their narrative is unraveling. When they cross the line that so many of us are loathe to cross first, action on the side of the resistance has little social cost compared to today.
When that Rubicon is crossed by either side, the rules of engagement change significantly.

White House Signals New COVID-19 Measures Coming for People Who Are Unvaccinated
BY JACK PHILLIPS September 8, 2021
Ahead of President Joe Biden’s announcement Thursday about new COVID-19 measures, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that there may be new measures that will be imposed on unvaccinated people.
“There are six steps the president’s announcing, there will be new components,” Psaki told reporters on Wednesday. “Some of that will be related to access to testing, some will be related to mandates, some will be related to how we ensure kids will be protected in schools.”
When asked about how the new steps would impact Americans’ lives, Psaki said that “it depends on if you’re vaccinated or not.”
Psaki provided few details on what mandates could be imposed on unvaccinated Americans. On Tuesday, she told reporters on Air Force One that the federal government lacks the authority to mandate vaccines for everyone.
“There will be new components that sure, will of course impact people across the country, but we’re also all working together to get the virus under control, to return to our normal lives,” Psaki also said, without elaborating, on Wednesday.
Biden, who was scheduled to meet with his COVID-19 advisers on Wednesday, delivered a speech about six months ago saying the United States has “made real progress” against the virus.
Since that date, about 142 million Americans have received COVID-19 vaccines and about 950,000 people are getting vaccinated each day, according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Data released daily by the CDC’s COVID-19 tracker suggests that the United States’ new cases and deaths may have hit a plateau or is on the decline. The seven day-average for cases as of Tuesday was 140,000 and deaths were 1,022, respectively, while as of Sept. 1, the seven-day average for cases was 156,000 and deaths were 1,141, respectively.
The president’s speech on Thursday could make reference to a recent announcement from the heads of several federal health agencies that third doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, or booster shots, would be provided around Sept. 20. However, the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve the booster doses.
Already, Biden required all federal employees and contractors to get the COVID-19 vaccine or adhere to strict testing and social distancing protocols. He also ordered nursing homes to require their staff to get the vaccine to continue getting Medicare and Medicaid funding.
One of Biden’s top confidants, White House chief of staff Ron Klain, during a CNN interview over the weekend, was reluctant to provide a specific date when the boosters would be made available to the public.
Slowly, but surely, they are pushing us into a corner and I think they are wanting a backlash so they can unleash their storm troopers on the populace. Then, we will see what kind of response they get.
NEVER count the cabal out….never. They have the casino rigged in their favor forty way come Sunday. They have thousands of high powered tools in their toolbox to use against the sheep. I pity the fool that would even entertain the possibility that these criminals would flame out….Har, Har.
I am becoming ever more convinced that they are a little nervous these days because humanity has their number, thus articles showing up that give me clues that they are heading for cover. OTOH, they have never tried to kill off 90% of the population of this planet in a forty year time span either, maximum hubris.
Hide like the rodents that you are assholes.
I saw this in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin some years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalingrad_Madonna
In this case the Germans were in their own kettle or cauldron.
I was drawn to the word for kettle as it is my surname. My dad said that if he were to design a family coat of arms it would be a kettle full of kraut with two worst sticking out crossed over each other. As there are plenty already in design he didn’t have to make it.

I remember reading this when it first was put out, it was one of the articles I knew had important insight for future applications, as the kettle was just beginning to be formed.
The thing I wonder about now is, can they truly be vanquished, or is there some ace they have up their sleeve that tells them that in the end, they will control the outcome? Even as I watch today the treasonous and contemptable lies they put forth, with little or no punishment for their actions.
In every unlawful restriction they put in place, I can always get the sense of something they are hiding that gives them the boldness to move forward with little fear of repercussions.
Its almost as if there is a supreme ruler hiding in the shadows who has convinced a few that they have nothing to fear and that the benefits of their abandoning their fellow citizens far outweighs the small voice in their conscience screaming this should not be done.
I say this because when I first read this piece, it wasn’t apparent to me then as it is now, that this attack on freedoms is global in nature, with the first fruits of their efforts being revealed in places like Australia and the EU, with America in the cross hairs.
“Its almost as if there is a supreme ruler hiding in the shadows…”
We know who that is and we know his plan.
