Where there is no law there is no freedom.

It would be easy to speculate ad nauseam regarding the 2022 U.S. Midterms, but that is not the main intention of this post. Therefore, my comments regarding the national elections will be brief: In short, it seems there were three general outcomes possible: 1.) Democrats holding both Houses of Congress 2.) GOP winning House or Senate but not both 3.) GOP winning both House and Senate.
In the Old Normal, given current economic shortages and inflation, the extremism of woke politics, increasing urban crime, the politicization of COVID, and the weaponization of federal agencies, a sizable red wave would have been assured. But we no longer live in the Old Normal and we haven’t for some time. As the aftermath of the 2020 Presidential Election demonstrated, America has crossed the Rubicon. Speculation is moot. At this late date in history, the beast system will never cede power via honest elections.
It doesn’t matter how many voting machines flipped totals in narrow victories, or whether MAGA candidates were sabotaged by The Uniparty or outspent by George Soros, or that the American citizenry has been dumbed down to the point of buffoonery by the federal education system.
Just know this: In U.S. States where voting was secure, like Florida and Iowa, there were red waves by fairly wide margins.
Even “conservative” pundits like Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly claim the elusive red wave was curtailed because of fear over abortion rights and frustrations against election fraud “conspiracies” – and O’Reilly and others have blamed Donald Trump as a scapegoat, but for the wrong reasons. Surely abortion and other imaginary “threats to democracy” were strategically exaggerated by The Borg System to provide plausible deniability against any potential accusations of vote fraud.
Notice that no one can adequately explain why GOP candidates won in U.S. states that had implemented measures to secure elections, like voter I.D. and other initiatives. In those states, conservative candidates emerged victorious – even in urban blue counties. And in areas with shady election shenanigans like malfunctioning voting machines in key precincts, unsecured mail-in ballots, stall tactics and extended deadlines, several Democratic Party candidates won.
American elections have been assimilated by The Borg and most Americans have no clue. For those who believe election fraud on a grand scale is impossible, they can be directed to videos like Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” or the documentary on the 2020 Arizona election fraud at SelectionCode.com. But closed minds will conveniently claim all speculations have been debunked by “fact checkers” and will label anyone who questions official narratives as a conspiracy theorist.
Regardless of blatant election irregularities in the New Normal, insouciant Americans and the political punditry will believe what they want to believe: that American elections are fair.
Entrenched beliefs are difficult to dissuade and deprogramming minds from hypnotic spells can occur but it is usually a process that takes time. I was once fooled by 911, WMD, and jingoistic wars abroad, so it’s not hard for me to understand how people are so thoroughly deceived. The real tragedy now, however, is that false narratives have fooled enough people, for enough time, that most potential escape hatches have been locked.
The Borg no longer cares if people wake up because it’s too late for most. The assimilation is near complete.
Those peering out from behind the Eye of Horus likely even want people to fully understand their predicament at this point and the self-perceived overlords may even enjoy a perverse pleasure at the unveiling, so to speak. It sure would explain the doddering old puppet in the White House and how a brain-addled extreme political leftist became a senator from Pennsylvania.
Clownworld.
Narratives steer entire populations because people act upon what they believe; and tyrants throughout history have used deception to manufacture consent that is, eventually, followed by inevitable violent manifestations of force.
Or stated another way: Those whom The Borg would control must be first assimilated via deception and, ultimately, by violence.
On September 12, 2022, Josh Hawley, the Republican Senator from Missouri, began his address to the National Conservative Conference with words from former President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 Inaugural Address:
We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first [1776 U.S.] revolution…. that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.
Hawley then expanded upon that premise by stating the following:
To a world composed of clans and tribes, the Bible introduced the very idea of the individual. To a world that valued the wealthy and well-born before all others, the Bible taught the dignity of the common man. To a world that prized order and control, the Bible spoke of liberty.
Without the Bible, there is no modernity. Without the Bible, there is no America. And now our biblical inheritance is again at the center of our politics. It is the question of the age…
It is a compelling argument. Throughout history, populations have been subjugated by tyrants and monarchs, subjected to mob rule, or, in the unique historical example of America, afforded liberties derived from Biblical precepts and natural law.
This is why it was so predictable to see political leftists, including Joe Biden and Barrack Obama, constantly claim that our democracy was “at stake” in advance of the 2022 Midterm Elections.
In truth, the United States is a constitutional republic and not a democracy. A democracy, in its purest form, is de facto mob rule.
Therefore, these are the battle lines of our time: Natural rights versus mob rule; just law against arbitrary tyrannical mandates; truth over deception; liberty instead of slavery; and unity, in lieu of conformity.
With this in mind, prior to the 2022 Midterms, in a public forum near where I live, I mentioned former president Eisenhower’s 1961 farewell speech to the nation. In that speech, Eisenhower warned of the “military-industrial complex” that had “the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power” and that “public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite”.
I further described how former President John F. Kennedy, in his April 1961 “secret societies” speech, warned of the “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” that was a “tightly-knit, highly efficient machine” combining “military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations”.
Upon establishing these former U.S. presidents as bona fide conspiracy theorists, I then questioned the possibility of the U.S. government and supranational medical institutions being taken over by billionaire eugenicists, Malthusians, and Marxists intent on world depopulation via war, bio-fascism, and the Climate Agenda. I additionally questioned if experimental mRNA vaccines might be increasing infertility and causing fast-spreading cancers, miscarriages, and rising mortality rates.
But when I broached the possibility of 2020 election fraud taking place in five precincts in five swing states, it was like a bomb went off. My sanity was called into question by someone who would very likely advocate Red Flag Laws in my state with me, specifically, in mind.
In response, I asked if they remembered a time when Americans would tell each other the following:
“Although I disagree with what you are saying, I respect your right to say it.”
What happened to that America?
Why all the governmental, medical, and corporate censorship? Why are we no longer allowed to ask questions anymore?
“Unity is the result of free will and individual choice… whereas conformity is generally the result of tyranny, closed-mindedness, indolence, or fear”, I said.
The answers are available. So why won’t they see? Worse yet, why do they expect me to conform to what they believe without honest debate? Why am I not allowed to speculate in public?
It is because most people fail to discern the difference between unity and conformity. Unity tolerates a diversity of beliefs while still adhering to basic tenets and precepts such as law, or liberty, or free speech. In other words, people don’t need to conform to the same worldviews to have unity. This is why national unity once allowed Americans, both Democrat and Republican, to disagree while simultaneously finding accord around the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, including free speech.
But one cannot yell “fire” in a crowded movie theater, right? That would be immoral, right? Someone could get hurt, right?” Well, actually, this is why there are ordinances and lawful consequences in such cases. But to conflate yelling “fire” in a crowded movie theater with challenging existing and potential tyranny occurring in a nation of laws is a red herring argument and should be summarily exposed as such in any debate.
We are still a nation of constitutional law, right? This, in fact, addresses the thrust of the problem, doesn’t it? America’s legal system has been corrupted. We had a republic and we couldn’t keep it. Lawlessness and deception are trending; and we are the latest generation witnessing a national dissolution by means of Marxist dialectics. The end goal this time, of course, is the coagulation of a new world order. Order out of chaos.
America once tolerated open discussion in public forums so informed citizens could attempt to persuade each other with facts, science, philosophy, theology, speculation, et al, but all that remains today is the pressure to conform – to agree with the mass consensus of The Mob that has, unknowingly, been absorbed by The Borg via media deception.
Today, it seems, The Overton Window is barred as if positioned in a veritable prison where certain topics of discussion are taboo.
Just as persuasion builds unity, coercion pressures people to conform. The former is how Just Law was established to protect individual rights and secure liberty. The latter is overt lawlessness manifesting as tyranny.
By means of deception and force, respectively, election fraud and biofascism have become the societal winnowing mechanisms prior to a forthcoming civilizational purge.
Understand this, however: There are no expiration dates on natural rights. Neither can parasitic tyrants declare individual sovereignty as null and void.
Any new world order that uses coercion to demand obedience, or conformity, at any time, must be considered as dead on arrival by those possessing free will. Even any multi-polar world order that would negate the sovereignty of American citizens under the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, or attempt to coerce free individuals through deception, censorship, economic compulsion, or “emergency powers” during wartime or pandemics, must be considered as invalid and immoral.
At the same time, know this as well: The Borg is fully committed to the “Great Reset”. It will never stop until the world population is corralled by digital gates and switches.
What, then, can a remnant of sovereign individuals do?
Once again, perhaps an effective way to defeat the lawless tyrannical centralization of The Borg is to become the anti-borg:
The answer to global centralization and digital cash is to go local by prioritizing decentralization, barter, and genuine value.
Free individuals can unify around fundamental precepts such as constitutional law, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness while actively exposing the foundational deceptions of virtue signaling, political correctness, corruption, fraud, and, especially, political party dialectics that sow discord by means of climate lies, genitalia, skin color, and biofascism.
Free individuals can unify to defeat deception by prioritizing courage above cowardice, and faith over fear.
Anything less than outright resistance to the lies that bind the Borg together is to passively yield to the deceptive premises of those who desire the demise of the sovereign individual. This would be a form of suicide.
Therefore, unite locally, and gather publically and privately, to resist all forms of totalitarianism by any means necessary. And aside from the outcomes of national elections, ask yourselves this question at any given time:
What can be won?
Therefore, unite locally, and gather publically and privately, to resist all forms of totalitarianism by any means necessary.
There is currently only one solution and that is it. We are here to keep the traditions alive, to pass on useful skills to the next generation, provide for ourselves and our loved ones, and to never give up on the concept of autonomy and self-reliance.
What cannot continue, will not continue and this too shall pass. You know what you should be doing right now, the only question is are you doing it?
Nah, just vote harder:
Anyone who believes this country isn’t the most vile corrupt shithole on earth is delusional.
Actually, the main part of that corruption is a hypnotized, dumbed-down populace. At the head of that corruption is most people’s unshakeable belief that we simply cannot do without a top-down, command-and-control superstructure called the state.
We have met the enemy, and he is us: or rather, us yielding responsibility for our lives to some leader. Are we not men? Or are we dogs? Some day, people will read stuff like this and internalize it and then, live it:

. . . and quite a few other essays and quotes.
It is simply mathematically impossible for the masses to be governed by the few . . . unless they accept and support it.
This piece is a timely reminder of how wide the chasm is between the Obedient and the Free. I would suggest the following as expansions of the fundamentals Doug capably presented.
There is no point in trying mass conversion at this point, particularly through logic or honest debate. The lines are, for the most part, irrevocably drawn. Better to focus on our shared strengths internally rather than a fruitless and enervating quest to “wake them all up.”
The key can be found in one (hyphenated) word: non-coercion. Rather than arguing political theory that is simply too difficult for the dumbed down many, focus on non-coercion as the obvious point we may come to an agreement. You have no right to coerce me, I have no right to coerce you. Even the most simple-minded can grasp this point.
Freedom lovers must give up the delusional notion that our actions should be circumscribed by the reactions of the Left, i.e., if we do this, they will do that. The Left abandoned any idea of reciprocity long ago. It can and will do anything that makes its success more likely. We need to put blinders on and proceed with our plans, and ignore those who say it may give the Left license. They admit no constraints already, nothing will be lost.
There are many more freedom lovers than we sometimes acknowledge. One could say a third to a half of the population is supportive of freedom against leftist positions, likely more when election fraud is removed from the analysis. This is a huge number; we should not be demoralized into thinking we are a remnant. The problem has been the freedom loving viewpoint has been shut away from public discourse, but it exists nonetheless.
The Left has won the Long March through institutional America. The battle now moves from the institutions to the hearts and minds of Americans. It is imperative that freedom lovers understand how best to appeal to those who are confused or indifferent to political messages.
Make it personal, make it real to them in what THEY are risking in their own lives. The defensive game is a losing game. Be bold but stealthy in how you make the message of freedom one that is simply irresistible to the average man or woman.
Voting? Like it matters anymore? The Cabal has won and now we get to live the Hunger Games, complete with zones and circuses…the pablum of the masses, sports ball and all the other drivel as seen on the teevee reigns supreme and those who see the truth are so marginalized that all they can do is kvetch and prep.
The best way to describe the brain dead masses is to recall how ‘the stupid, it burns’ and get on with your lives, practice acts of sabotage whenever and wherever you can, keep the faith with God and stay on the sidelines for as long as possible…
This fat faggot won a beauty contest…seems the silly females aren’t good enough these days…now the faggots and queers rule the world and set policy….so what does that say about women and the world we live in today? Obama is a faggot and Michelle is a man and Epstein didn’t kill himself…
For 5,000 years White men built Western Civilization. In 1919 we gave women the vote. It took them 46 years to dismantle everything their ancestors built. 1965 immigration act was the final nail. After alcohol prohibition, the welfare state and normalizing divorce.
Yes, ((they)) went after the women first. Effective fo sho.
“…Yes, ((they)) went after the women first. Effective fo sho…”
SAY… !!!
That reminds me of a very old pattern.
Adam was not deceived. Not directly, that is. That old Serpent took the back door in, such that he might ply his corrupting ways indirectly. And he and his play a very long game, indeed.
Ye who do not adhere to the Bible…
…consider expanding your field of view.
!!!
It is all right there. In black and white. If we’re willing to see.
And Red.
Black, white and red.
Reminds me of a joke about a skunk crossing the road.
It’s three ((()))s, not two. Please use the proper echo symbolism.

Stop beating around The Burning Bush. PLAINLY stated. DIRECTLY.
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
So ‘they’ are not jews then?
There is not a final nail. Even coffins (or bags) are nail-free.
But, they use these things, and they have all of the nails in the world, and more.
Never say never shooting a nail in an attackers head. I sold the Paslode pneumatic framing nailer because my days of framing are over, at least a house. I’ve git plenty of all sorts of framing nails , some younger peeps have never heard of. I’ve got spiral framing nails. And I have framing hammers. Framing going forward will only be small jobs done like my grandpappy use to do, he among a lost generation of actual carpenters that knew what they were doing.
What the heck happened to the men that 1919 happened?

The Empress’ new clothes. TPTB are using gender cripples to make folks question their sanity. I think the elite are excited by the ugly cruelty of such displays.
The pendulum in the pit will swing back across their guts at some point. Perhaps we’ll have each contributed a tiny nudge in our various spheres of influence.

Howdy Mr. Uncola…
Thank you, I always enjoy reading what you write…I read here everyday but have curtailed commenting so much…the topic was most timely and I am beyond disgusted with the state of affairs and just had to comment on said topic…:)
Very astute perspectives, S.W. Thank you
I agree that certain people, and perhaps even certain areas, are not worth the effort. It’s a numbers game for the rest, though, because truth is truth and courage is contagious.
Therefore, it’s very important to weigh the risks and rewards in accordance with “what can be won?”
The events unfolding were planned for decades ago. The long march and all that. The current leaders were in on it from the beginning, all long past their use by dates, all bought and paid for like Mitch, or installed like Pelosi. Like the arsonist who goes to watch the fire, these evil fucks want to see global misery before they burn in hell. A pox on them and their families. Don’t give them the satisfaction of watching it burn. Live your best life, resist joining the collective, and let the libtards wallow in their stupidity and the pain it will bring them.
No, they can’t.
The entire basis of the Authoritarian Totalitarian is that they can do anything they want but you must obey and follow their rules.
I disagree. I think it is lack of God and abundance of materialism. When things are the most important, people are treated as things.
lolbertz fags have never accomplished one damn thing other than fattening their bank account with one momentous speech about muh freedom after another.
Aristotle new this 3,00 year ago, but the lobertz are going to educate everyone in the NAP principle and then we can all live happily ever after in a stateless society….reee
“Before some audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct.” Aristotle
Here’s a clue for anyone still stuck on lolbertz stupid. Might makes right. Always has and always will. Tribe up or die.
Masser!
You need to get out more. See the world, especially the “interesting” places
Behold…the Idiocracy rising!
We use to be the good guys, no longer, the borg rules. To thine own self be true. I vowed years ago that I would die a free man, by natural causes or otherwise, it’s looking like otherwise lately. Think local, work local, exist as local as possible. I’ve always considered myself ungovernable due to free will and the US Constitution, it’s the only way to thrive and live.
We were never the good guys. Mankind has been a mess from day one. We may have the ability to think, and to use logic, but rarely do. Instead we prove how uncivilized we are on a daily basis. We are driven by irrational greed, and our other lesser emotions… Psychopathy is much more common that we admit, even to ourselves….
No shit. I see 1-4% as the ‘official’ number. I must be special because over my life at LEAST 10% I have met qualify IMO. Maybe it is just their excessive narcissism, but their complete lack of empathy suggests they were truly psychopaths.
To think that one can somehow opt out or evade the coming beast and his system by simply going local and not participating is biblically just another form of cognitive dissonance apart from true faith in Jesus that Satan wants people to believe in a false or futile attempt to avoid the horrible soon coming reality in our own minds.
True individual free will can never be taken from us but as the NWO beast system comes closer to fruition exercising it will cost most if not all our mortal lives in order to save our eternal souls.
Doing it to ourselves, fascinating.
Eyes,
From that perspective, one might consider “going local” as in relation to the call to “come out” in Rev 18:14
And to “defeat the lawless tyrannical centralization of The Borg” may be different than defeating The Borg, per se.
Uncola,
Revelation 18:4 is a calling out of God for “My people” to come out.
Likely in both a physical and spiritual sense as lot came out of Sodom before God’s judgement and ultimate destruction of it.
I don’t think it can be applied to the general population but only to true believers in Jesus.
I’ve heard scriptural interpretation estimates that Revelation judgements will destroy 2/3’s to 3/4’s of the earths population.
Yes some survive the 3 1//2 year great tribulation and Armageddon both believers and non believers.
The difference I believe is that believers will be ushered into the 1000 year reign of Jesus on earth in their mortal bodies and unbelievers will be cast cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and knashing of teeth at the separation of the sheep and the goats.
I believe scripturally all true Believers will all enter one of two ways.
Out of in their new spiritual bodies via rapture or death or through in their mortal bodies.
Unbelievers will not enter at all.
Thus my cognitive dissonance comment regarding going galt or opting out locally regarding unbelievers specifically during the biblical end times.
Both local and centralized government is only as good as it’s leadership.
The millennial reign of Jesus will be the most centralized government in history and it will be perfect.
I really wish Chuckie would vanish.
What we must now do to keep the dream alive is to go underground…to form our own communities based on a new vision of the world. We cannot go back we must dream a new and better dream. Western Civilization is collapsing. Where do we go from here? That is the question we need to consider. One thing I am sure of and that is that we can do better.

This article could honestly have been 2 sentences long:
“Why does America look like the bastard spawn of Weimar Germany and the Soviet Union? Because this is ALWAYS what it looks like when Jeшs take charge.”
“Take charge”. How does anyone do that? By mass compliance and passivity in their own lives. No one of any ethnicity who has ever sought to rule has been fit to rule, for thousands of years. Abolish the state. Stop even looking for force-backed leaders.
Allow a natural aristocracy of the best and the brightest to compete in an open free market, coupled with absolute property rights and self-ownership by each person, and everyone will benefit , without coercion. Abolish belief in the need for a leader.
That’s anarchy; a political system based on cooperation among various groups or federations of people through mutual self-interest without the need for an external state. – Arnold Toynbee
Not to put too fine a point on it, but it’s that last part governments abhor; the idea that we can get along without the bloodsuckers.
Hunkering down and hoping the storm just passes by is not a solution.
It’s just about time to start investing in rope.
More important to invest in oneself. Build a parallel society. And, of course, the worst do just need killin’, as it’s said. But that’s the easy part.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― R. Buckminster Fuller

A car can run you over, or take you to the emergency room. Just depends who’s driving. Abolish the state and let the people drive themselves.
Anarcho syndicalism is ultimately just a reboot(” when the anarchists take control ” hello ? can you say oxymoron “) , institutions of arbitration and so on / be they private or public will ultimately spring back up again really out of neccesity and in their grassroots beginnings they will operate as intended and ultimately enjoy success and growth and then its back to the races and rinse and repeat on the cycles of civilization . I’d like to think we could learn from our mistakes but really such thinking is Utopian , but then again we all have our version of” Plato’s republic ” in mind and I dont think thats a bad thing either .
Anarcho-capitalism and -syndicalism are utterly unrelated.
How about you invest in a screen name?
No one suggested that. You’re projecting.
Rejectinng the paradigm and busying yourself on what is important while sharing your skills, abilities and resources with other like-minded folk is the opposite of hunkering down and hoping.
It is action.
sharing your skills, abilities and resources with other like-minded folk
And withholding those skills from non like-minded folk is the corollary.
Many of the collectivists cannot “do”.
They lack the rudimentary skills.
That is one reason why they are coercive.
Some years ago I bought a box of old books and this was one of them. Not only is it a piece of Americana from times of yore (1879!), it included the bookmark, which included a part of the Serenity Prayer I’d not seen.

I taught all of our children how to read with McGuffey’s Readers.
Very effective and it took only a couple of days. They were already reading when most kids were learning the alphabet.
Specialization killed the learning experience.
That, Tel Avision and the “computer” murdered learning.
Result is civilization headed off of the cliff into the abyss. WEPH is having a fine laugh and drinks on the fantail.
“and the “computer” murdered learning.”
You are kidding,
Rightwrite?100 upvotes to you and Uncola Mr Farmer , it is the position of the realist to recognize the dire condition of the political situation while at the same time not falling prey to the hopeless cynism that breeds its offspring , resentment and bitterness and only allows us to let ourselves be robbed in yet another way of our lives , liberties and most precisely the pursuits of our happiness . Sure, it is what it is , I get that , and its not good , now let us go find what good we can and work from there and in our own individual lives work against this ” Abolition Of Man “( CS Lewis ) that these pseudo elitists have in mind as their end game .
Upholding the law is the answer but everyone is so completely ignorant of law that they do not having any clue what “uphold the law” actually means.
Our Republic is no more. I have no sense of loyalty to the ‘woke’ Jacobins now in control.
That much-vaunted republic (“If you can keep it, Madam”) was utterly subverted in 1787 with the in-secret, unauthorized replacement of The Articles of Confederation with the CONstitution by a crowd of representative whores to the Eurobankster mafia. It’s been a long slow slide, and here we are, at terminal velocity.
But phoenixes always rise from ashes . . .

Abolition of the state is the next step in humanity’s development. Childhood’s end. I hope Christians might consider the idea of true abolition of .gov slavery to fall under Saint Paul’s exhortation that there comes a time to put aside childish things. An adult doesn’t need a nanny state, and especially an unkind, murderous cackling one.
I would also add for those whose Christian beliefs suggest we are to obey government…
Paul said we are to obey government, as instituted by God. Paul never met Jesus and had open conflicts with those who lived with Jesus and knew His teaching intimately. Jesus was much more nuanced in his position re government.
“Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s…” Under the form of government the Declaration of Independence envisioned (and the Constitution reflected in part), what we owe Caesar/government is NOTHING like what Caesar/government demands of us. We do not owe whatever crazy ass compliance Caesar comes up with, we (obedient Christians) owe only what our government was instituted to allow him/it to require.
Require Caesar to live by the rules that were enacted and you will have reduced Caesar’s reach into our lives by 95%.
Yes, Paul gives us a description of legitimate, God ordained government. Show me a government ANYWHERE that fits that mold and I will move there and give it allegiance. BUT…since there is none, I owe none anything. I always ask those that want to [mis]quote Romans 13… “Where was Paul when he wrote this?”
“in Rome”
“Why was he there?”
“ummmm…for disobeying government….”
“See?”
Then, when “give unto ceasar that which is ceasars” comes up, I point out that Jesus then says “ALL things have been given to Me, “etc. Hence, nothing is ceasars quite frankly. Note too that Jesus didnt pull any tax money from His pocket, nor the ‘purse’ of the Disciples….
Whilst some taxation is necessary to support functioning of society – things like roads, border defence, [legitimate] courts and such – that is all. Taxation to oppress the individual and pay for the destruction of the country/genocide of its people is illegitimate and immoral. Jesus, nor Paul, nor anyone else with a brain ever said we should pay for our own destruction.
“Paul never met Jesus and had open conflicts with those who lived with Jesus and knew His teaching intimately.”
I beg (as usual) to differ.
Acts 9:3-5 KJB… “And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.”
Paul met the risen and glorified Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus.
Paul walked away with scales in his eyes so did he see Jesus? Jesus spoke to him for certain.
The operative word was “met”. Paul met Jesus then and there for the first time.
I was waiting to see who brought this to light.
Paul; the most misunderstood man to have ever lived.
“Abolition of the state is the next step in humanity’s development. ”
I absolutely agree. The “state” has been a fig leaf covering organized criminality for, oh, 4,000 years give or take. The promise of the Declaration of Independence requires the abolition of the mechanism of human enslavement: the State.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Everyone’s looking for a hero, there aren’t any. Trump played his role and so will Ron DeSantis. Not getting tangled up in the machine is a non-starter once your in.
The true aggression is miss directed in my opinion, if there is to be a change of direction, the bureaucracies need to be wiped out across the board. Administration of a government chiefly through bureaus or departments staffed with nonelected officials is the real problem and must be dealt with or this ship will sail on. It’s the back door to government and through it tyranny will enter and flourish. That door must be slammed shut and boarded up. The alphabet agencies are running the county for profit and power, without they’re destruction, they will continue to sell the county off to the highest bidder at our expense.
Like the Jewish mafia they are divided into various levels of operation. From the soldier to the business man, they all play their role. No one man can tear down this machine and it is naïve to think that any one person could. That destruction will come from an overwhelming force or it will not come at all.
That’s the reality IMO. Vote with your heart but expect nothing in return, we have passed that Rubicon and there is no looking back.
All I’m saying is put your hate in the right place and direct it at the right people or agency. Settle with an ally that can move your cause forward, never trust them but use them with the expectation they will betray you. That’s rule number one to picking a leader. Man is fallible, a well guarded trust in men is always a good strategy.
Do live within your means and support you local ma and pop stores where you can. Forget Big Gov, support and get involved with local government, change start’s there first. Local election’s may be the most important elections you can participate in. Get involved.
“Local election’s may be the most important elections you can participate in. Get involved.”
Truer words were never spoken.
“Local election’s may be the most important elections you can participate in. Get involved.”
Same.
Be your own hero.
Exactly
I have always looked up to me. : )

The un- elected an unaccountable layers upon layers of bureaucracy is most of what is choking us.
He who wears the yamulke (both Trump and DeSantis) will never be looking out for your best interests. All potential candidates are thoroughly vetted and approved and must appear contrite before the wailing wall of Herod, before they’re allowed to run for office. The uniparty political system has been fully controlled from candidacy to vote by those whose name can’t be mentioned. Just ask Kanye.
If voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.- Mark Twain.
I conclude that is a true statement.
“support you local ma and pop stores where you can”
WIDESPREAD. COMMON. GREED. @ that level LED to the ‘Big Box’ Stores.
This guy is a great writer – but this piece is a bit of a watered-down bore if you ask me.
Anyone discussing “elections” is still in denial, america is over – and they broadcasted it by playing a song normally only at funerals at the inaugaration of the senile unelected undead president – pres. of nothing.
And this burning platform site is so full of disgusting jew-world ads – visually perverted – sickening.
Well then go back to Zero Hedge where your comments can be carefully monitored. TBP is designed for free speech. A place where even you can express what’s on your mind. Learn to pick a better browser and you won’t see any ads. I do however encourage you to get the fuck out.
Then leave if you are disgusted by the truth.
Read it again but slower to capture the nuance.
You donate yet or are you just feeding for free while you take a dump on the carpet?
Interesting take. Uncola, indeed. Here’s where being a proud nonvoter pays off. I don’t give a flip who gets elected because I know who will govern.
Interesting that Lee Zeldin held a press conference yesterday and refused to concede to Hochul (can’t Dems elect women who aren’t so butt-ugly your eyes water looking at them)? He claims some million plus votes from Long Island’s predominately Republican districts are being held back. Same issue with Kari Lake in Arizona. We’re witnessing a block op.
Why is it us non-voters still can’t take our eyes off of the election, CC? It’s like a 50 pile up on an interstate with bodies everywhere. You don’t want to look but you can’t help yourself.
The drama is real-the vote tallies are fake. But I do have a bright spot to cheer-Fetterman. What a glorious example of a corrupt and pathetic joke. Now: Go Hershel!
Fetterman will be the greatest U.S. senator of all time. Bank it.
Why is it us non-voters still can’t take our eyes off of the election, CC?
Some of us do.
I avoid any perusal of sites that contain election coverage.
Thins out the venues.
It’s like avoiding all the Black Friday bullshit.
It’s not too hard.
This morning, they moved Nevada senate race into the dem win column, so that gives them 50 seats.
The longer it takes to count the votes, the more likely a democrat will win.
That’s no surprise to me I expected the big steal. I didn’t think for a minute that the elections would some how be fair, it’s all a rigged game. Local is all that’s left, at least locally they have to face the ones they cheated. In my small town anyway.
We don’t have any impacted on big elections and most of us here prefer to keep it that way. Most of us just want to make our lives in our community a little better. But even that seems to be an up hill struggle now a days.
I really thought it would be more difficult for them to steal the house, as the control of those elections is much more “local”. My prediction was a 50-50 senate or maybe a 1 seat swing to the dems due to fraud in all the same places as ’20.
Agree, I think the architects of this thing know exactly where and how to steal it. They are perfecting their game no doubt. I still think they will give the republicans a small majority in the house for the controlled demolition of the faux republican party as a public spectacle for the next two years. McCarthy is they’re ace in the hole.
You mean the more likely a Democrat will “win.”
I’ll never accept that ANY of these cocksucker Democrats actually won.
You know why people don’t want to admit the elections are dishonest and there is no rule of law anymore? Because they would have to do something about it or agree to live on their knees.
Good point, but the real reason goes a little beyond which is that humankind is not just some modified amoeba, but God created. Most people are aware there is an evil tide coming to their neighborhoods with not a place to hide. There is a decay to be seen along with the stench permeating everything.
‘And just as it is appointed and destined for all men to die once and after this [comes certain] judgment,’
Hebrew 9:27
The solution to this fear is in the very next verse.
Great movie.
or maybe because they couldn’t face themselves NOT doing something about it if they admitted the truth…
“America once tolerated open discussion in public forums so informed citizens could attempt to persuade each other with facts, science, philosophy, theology, speculation, et al, but all that remains today is the pressure to conform – to agree with the mass consensus of The Mob that has, unknowingly, been absorbed by The Borg via media deception.”
If you go with the premise that, historically, the vast majority of people in any one country are are intellectually lazy, naive “sheep” and will believe whatever authority figure is propped up for them to watch or read, then it stands to reason the media is the number one culprit in the march towards this mob, totalitarian society. When you have a media infested with woke, neo-marxist narrative pushers, the only outcome is the one which they promote. Governments have known this for thousands of years.
“A lie told once is just a lie. A lie told a thousands times becomes the truth.”
J. Goebbels
I’m not convinced he said that, but your point taken.
It doesn’t matter if he said it.
It’s been repeated enough that he did.
It is important to remember Goebbel’s “Bible” was Bernay’s book on propaganda which he kept on his desk and showed visitors. Bernay was Freud’s nephew and with Colonel House helped T. Woodrow Wilson do all the horrendous shit to the country he did such as WW1, League of Nations,Income Tax and the Federal Reserve System.
And still, the fault lies in mass compliance. The one or the few cannot control the many, but by mass acceptance.
“most of the escape hatches are locked”
Building my library of hard copy books plus downloaded videos on an external hard drive to prove for posterity what they cannot scrub will be immensely valuable for future generations within my circles as a mental escape hatch even if physical escape is impossible. The reach will be only dozens of people, at must, but we most focus on local small communities as the strongholds of humanity.
Like the Book of Eli.
Good plan. Even a tablet or two will be invaluable.
Download all the DIY vids you can of basic things, even like canning foods, basic wood and metal working, starting fires, survival tips, everything. Have a small solar charger to keep them alive and accessible.
If, rather when, the grid goes down or ICAAN shuts down the internet for us peons, then this resource become inaccessible by conventional means. The attempts to isolate people and drive them into the cities where they can chute/shoot the cattle will be their goal. Time to tribe up with nearby like minded folks. Smaller, more intimate groups where infiltrators can be spotted quickly, will be the way thru this collapse.
cya on the other side.
The digital media is a bad option in my opinion. It will simply get lost or become the WordPerfect of the future; stick with print. The 1917 version of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica is probably a good starting point.
A dear friend of mine started his own version of a digital library back in 1988, having been inspired by Project Gutenberg some years prior. His efforts have introduced many curious souls to literature that would otherwise never have been made available to them.
I think the Florida election was a false flag where they let the repubs win because it didn’t mean much and by having such a large margin they could say oh look this one was real so they all are real.
Steal your face right offa your head:
Therefore, unite locally, and gather publically and privately, to resist all forms of totalitarianism by any means necessary.
I assume “by any means necessary” means “by any means necessary,” because as surely as night follow day, that’s what it is coming down to.
Good article, Doug.
This was posted by Robert Gore. I didn’t notice that it had me as Anonymous.
Thank you, Robert.
Not much good news this past week for the true patriots of this country. The steal is on.
Demunists did what Demunists do which is hardly a surprise to any of us. The number one filthy bastard who stole the most from us is Senator McConnell who starved conservative candidates and spent money on non-Republicans to stop any threat to his “Leader” status. He even devoted resources against MAGA in the primaries. Now he demands a vote this week to retain him as leader even though there are unsettled Senate elections in Alaska and Georgia. There is a movement to dump his crooked ass led by Hawley, Johnson, Rubio, among others. Walker and Tshibaka have indicated they oppose him which is another reason “Cocaine Mitch with the Chicom Bitch” is anxious to be voted in charge before those races are settled.
The Dems are holding their caucus election in December causing many to ask McConnell what’s the hurry?

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Krishnamurti is a great example of someone who chose not to be conditioned by others, and wound up being much more influential through his disruption of the agreed narrative than he would have been going along with it. I love this quote, always welcome to see it used.
We are watching the 3rd Worldization of America.
1. if abortion played a big part, doesn’t that mean SCOTUS is/was in on it seeing that they overruled it at this convenient time?
2. I believe GOD is the only answer. Morality comes from him and no other.
The fact that GOP leadership has been controlled opposition satisfied with scraps thrown to them for their part in “go along to get along” is why we are seeing this garbage unfold. Hawley has called for burning the GOP to the ground and starting over with a new party with new leaders. Count me in.
Doug,
Certainly one of, if not, your most incisive analysis of the tyrannous US government and its coercive oppression of the plebeians of this age. Though many of our kindred continue to stumble about in “The Cave” with its wax and wane of burning illumination provided solely by the Keepers’ discretion is a purview found all too often. Lest they woke and not waked, restoration will wither and mandated conformity be nurtured. May their chains rest lightly .
There is a longtime friend of mine who occasionally utters an adage that, in many times causes some consternation on the faces of those who have not heard it.
“Simple is best understood”
You have written it Best and Simple.
Thanks.
You get me, Machinist. You really do. Thank you very much for your comment

Five stars on this one.
I have very much appreciated all of the thought-provoking insights and perspectives on this thread so far. Thanks to all of you

Fittingly, Alastair Crooke hit one out of the ballpark two days ago:
https://strategic-culture.org/news/2022/11/11/de-conflicting-with-the-west-will-the-valdai-blueprint-work/
Excellent summary of the state we all are in , thank you.
Like the opening quotes.
But my response to JL would be there’s no place where the laws aren’t. The fact that there’s also no place that’s not seething with outlaws, flying color of law (legality) banners, confirms, rather than disconfirms.
The easier, pragmatic, unlawful way of being outsells the competition because it out-reproduces it.
Death of a thousand (short) cuts. That’s legality. Legality is abortion. Of the laws. Then it’s only a matter of time until that red in tooth & claw beast gets to babies, oldsters, & most everybody in between, too.
Laws are discovered. Men who pretend to make, or create, law in actuality only subvert & undermine law. These people are crooks. Outlaws. The crookedest outlaws there are. And their followers, chapter-verse citers, are legion.
The law is always there. It is also always outnumbered. Vastly outnumbered.
Bears go to the dumpsters & pragmatist people go to the legal system (including “voting” in s/elections).
Shortcuts are fine for bears, as far as I’m concerned. But when it comes to people, shortcuts are for assholes.
And conformity is the rule – a law conformists must abide – not the exception, & it is not a newer reflex that the lawyers have sprinkled into the municipal water supplies. It’s been obvious my whole life. And the histories are litanies of conformity.
Faith in what? Faith in who?
Why faith?
Because it’s a shortcut.
But shortcuts are the short way round to chaos out of the anarchy that finds & fosters order.
Another law: Duress invalidates. Coercion vacates.
But internal-projected compulsion? The one that gets gussied up & called “free will”?
It’s that decentralized anarcho apple that does the best job of creating pies for all that want them … until the law of conformity state/phase shift shortcut … & then its Apple Computer & the other et al essential, irrefusable offer, “businesses” – apples that never fall far from that tree with carvings in its trunk like “constitutional convention,” “fedres act,” “a day that will live in infamy,” “Dallas, 11/22/63,” “9/11/01,” on & on, all the way back & all the way forward.
Shortcuts. And every night its long knives doing the reproduction stab. Demography is destiny – & democide, too.
Shiver me timbers. Many questions needs be axed of that tree. Methinks it is of pomiferous origin, a wild seedling, an American Beauty. Misnamed to be sure. Ingestion provides not liberty or security. No, my fellow arborist, but a constant state of lethargy and somnolence. Yet I am confident that inexorably, the freemen will Stihl into the night to provide one last short cut.
Good one.
I know what Weinstein got away with until he didn’t. But what did Winesap ever do to deserve disappearing?
Original sin.
Let’s face it. It’s done and we all know it. How each person decides to adapt to the new reality is their choice alone.
I tend to believe the “go local” route is good but will not have legs in the end as thousands of “local” communities are easy targets for the “Borg”.
I’ve witnessed guys in sandals in tall mountains send the Borg running but it takes what they have. This country does not have that spirit any longer. Maybe it will again, but there will need to be a winnowing.
Bad moon rising.
You can lead a horse to water…
I’m grateful to all here for such thoughtful discussions on ideas that my circle of acquaintances find boring.
“Although I disagree with what you are saying, I respect your right to say it.”
And that stupid, virtue signaling tolerant shit is were America fucked up, Bubba.
The greatest generation of useful idiots could have put the creeping Marxist rot back into the Bolshevik shitter it emerged from by stomping some hippie ass and disrupting a few ‘ muh freedom’ to live in filth marches with baseball bats, including chasing every activist involved in spewing anti-Christian hate and Satan’s free love poison entirely out of the country. No person that loves their nation and culture should have any respect for bullshit lies designed to weaken it’s foundation.
We allowed this cultural rot though though tolerance of respecting what the fucking Bolshevik fags had to say…reeee
We get what we allow and deservedly so.
Stupid always get kicked in the teeth. It just the fate of stupid.
“America once tolerated open discussion in public forums so informed citizens could attempt to persuade each other with facts, science, philosophy, theology, speculation, et al, but all that remains today is the pressure to conform ”
Respect muh right…reeee
Once upon a time, in another lifetime, I was very active in property rights and local issues involving tax and spend projects which were being heavily promoted by local fag bankers aka bond pimps ( pro -tip they are not your friends, either) and their puppet county commissioners.
I was a member of a boomer cuck taxpayer watchdog organization which loved to talk , talk , talk and overtly show the commissioners the laws and the errors of their way during endless committee meetings, which always ended in favor/compromise, weakening property rights and more tax and spend.
Needless to say, I was livid about losing every damn vote and started my own blog exposing every shenanigan , dirty trick, special interest connection, and law these self-serving ass -wipe tools violated. I put together massive volumes of research exposing the rat fuck vermin these so called pillars of the community really were and what did it accomplish ? Not a damn thing other than earning me the ire of the entire community for berating their overlords, even that of the so called watchdog group, who informed me that all I have to do is show the banker picked commissioners the literal text of the law and they would abide by it. There was no need to publicly bitch slap them. Just show them the law….reeeee
Well, here’s the deal. These avarice driven cockroaches don’t give a rat’s ass about the law. They want what they want and don’t give a damn who they hurt or what they have to do to get it. Reason does not work with cockroaches. You have to bitch slap them to get their attention. But, it take more than one man. It cost me a lot to do what I did ; go full Sherman marching to the sea on their thieving ass, both monetarily and personally. I lost a lot of friends and connections due to my scorched earth policy, but I did accomplish one very special thing . None of the county cockroaches dare fuck with me or my families property anymore , because they know that I know the law , can write quite well and ain’t afraid to hammer their ass into the dirt on a public format using my real name.
The point of this missive is reason is for reasonable people. Politicians and bankers ain’t that. They’re rogues, thieves, vermin and avarice driven pieces of veritable vileness and the only way to win is to treat them as such.
Might makes right. Tribe up or die.
As Humongous said in “The Road Warrior” “I understand your pain.” No one is ever grateful. It is easy to see why the overclass holds the underclass in contempt. The moral man faces a Sisyphusian task when fighting for the public at large.
MMR(might makes right) is the legal monopo-force vaccine alright. But it ain’t lawful. Except of course in the jungle (do you know where you are, baby ♪♫♪).
Which is all vacas in CAFO’s is – the jungle.
If all the tribes that franchise-covered this place from sea-to-shining-sea had gone full metal enemy-of-my-enemy jacket, had supersized the tribes into e. pluribus unum duck fat French fried umami, in response to the arrival of the eurotrash tribe tide – it wouldn’t have mattered in terms of outcome.
And everybody dies. And everybody does it alone.
What you proved the added insult to injury way is that “property”- at least for ordinary people – is a myth. Just another one of those Big Lies. All that parliamentary pizzazz is camo “war” paint. (Like carpet-bombing civilians in cities is “war.” Straight up mass murder is what that is.) Politics – legality – is the continuation of war by other means (Clausewitz’s commutative property of “property,” comrade citizen pawn).
First they came for my satellites, my external properties (like my whiskey still, that Big Daddies Geo & Alex, & their invading army, said I “owed” them a piece of), but I did nothing, because too goddamned many &, conveniently, because it was only a small percentage they “asked” for me to “pay into” the “common good,” & because everybody else went along with it, too; so I conformed. Then they came back for a little more. And I did nothing, for the same reasons as before. Finally, they came for me & I finally “got it”: it was me they’d come for, & got, at the get. Time to go burn, some more, in the gulag camps.
So now lets assemble the Dream Team Tribe. All the best people in the world. The 4%. *If* that crew can cobble a Galts Gulch, then maybe. For maybe a generation or two or three. Because even Galts Gulchers will beget Dry Gulchers. That’s the internal homeostasis that will level down – just as it always does.
But the 96% are still outside the Gulch, too. And that mass is murderous tidal-suicidal. And no quantity, of whatever quality, can hold back the tides.
Whirlwind sowing & casting bread upon the waters – what a waste.
Whatever you said, I’m sure it was very wise, although not Archbishop Fulton Sheen wise.
“Best movie of all time” I heard someone say. Would that be a case of too much tolerance, or is it just buffing right past the color & into the primer?
Be tolerable nice until …
I think Sheen’s Fender’s gonna need a repaint. That’s what a heavy or too slow hand with the swirly-gizmo begets.
Straightjacketed & meducated eunuchs & good little unprincipled germans got deficiencies … not excesses of tolerance … or, is masochism a synonym for tolerance?
Maybe it works that way.
Still, saying “you’re too tolerant” just does not ring the bell hard enough.
As for wisdom, that depends entirely on what you do with the truth.
Let the tool do the work.
Bearing down ain’t no way to polish nor drill pearls, or to freedive down to gather them up, neither.
Might makes for right failure … what a waste.
The homeostasis tends a close parallel with the ambient measurements, although there may be slight variations of lag but, almost never preceding.
I know plenty of people who don’t beat themselves up about their pasts at all. Without shame, remorse, guilt no possibility of making amends or improving. Eternal Sunshine, Spotless Minds.
How’s that tool working now?
Seems to me the sand-able red oxide primer is, at best, a distant memory. The final compound grit has done its light smoothing work, bare metal is now exposed and corrosion is a foregone conclusion.
Clarksberg, and the memories of the days of Sheriff Vic-Childress were illustrative of ‘so yesterday’. Morrow’s forte is passé but, Today’s Frontal lode is an assault to be mined but not minded. A little blood and Chiclets in the dirt may have produced uniformity but not unity. The Propagation, a seething ischemia, some pronounce as ‘i-scheme-ah’, is a mimic. The spongiform is the habitat of humanity’s tolerance, riddled with prions, not thought nor reason. Corrosion and encephalopathy are kindred, the soul-less.
The work of the Gray Lady is now at hand, to wash the last vestiges of The Great Chasm (one might think of it as a Great Gaping Sulcus), to rid us of all misinformation detritus, revisions of histories including those that never were, and make the path towards a new Healing, a freedom that requires the slavish adherent the devotee. Impairments are inconsequential but parity abounds,and no tolerance required.
“For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to

You described a psychopath.
Precisement.
If you want to actually have an election that is provable in a court of law then a signed and verifiable affidavit recording your vote filed into a court record and available for verification by anyone is the only lawful mechanism there is to vote. Blackbox voting is not admissible evidence into a court of law because it is based on third-party hearsay. Per the common law if agency, if you want to select a representative agent then the principal must be known and liable for their agents lawful actions or removing one who fails to comport to their lawfully bound duties – lawless americans know NOTHING of the law of agency which is why they fail everytime.
It is disgusting how lawless Americans are all while they claim to support the rule of law while remaining TOTALLY ignorant of law.
The tyrants are laughing at you for being so dumb.
All remedies and answers to your troubles already exist in law and have so for many hundreds of years.
Do you think you can hide your vote and remove your liability? You seek what does not and never has existed.
“
By means of deception
and force,”
Seems Ive heard that (((somewhere))) before…hmmmm
Great piece. You state, “The information is available,” to which i would only add “for now…“
An unelected bureaucratic machine believes it rules all, by hook or by crook. Democrats create more wedges and fractures in society, so they are the flavor of the month. When industrial production is required, republicans will get the nod. They (our overlords) see elections as an antiquated nuisance. Democracy is a pacifier for serfs. Any intelligence is a threat to elite order, so, behold a mad rush to dumb down society, except for their own technicians, and brain swaps with foreign regimes. It is interesting to watch liberals, who value individual identity, slowly submit to the conformity of leftists where only the State is special and smart. I wonder if liberals in the “live and let live” school of thought will wake up?
There is hope…
People who want to control others are inherently insane. The insane do not recognize their own incompetence. This is your advantage and their weakness. Their plans are flawed, but they don’t know it. A society cannot run on corruption and guile. A society runs on endeavor. The schemers and scammers are not self reliant. They are parasites. Without compliant workers, they perish. Your strengths are human strengths: imagination, persistence, adaptability, mischief and rebellion, humor, joy, inspiration, loyalty, honor, truth, beauty, and apathy*.
The current state of society does not place high priority on past successful traits: integrity, commitment, attention to detail, word of honor, good name, fairness, justice… How long can society last? How long can equipment operate and infrastructure stand? Who will teach personal integrity to a mob of deviants?
I agree with other commentors… Network with likeminded, anonymously, in your neighborhood and community. Barter, trade, become self reliant to withstand a general strike, because it’s coming, whether through war, revolt, or attrition. The next revolution will be won with wrenches, not guns.
* Apathy towards a corrupt leader can cause a population to abandon their posts and walk away. It’s a social safety valve and the ruin of nations.
Great article, a lot of good things covered. “There are no expiration dates on natural rights.” That is going to have to be my motto going forward.
