“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” – George Orwell, 1984
“Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.” ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
I wish I could go through a day without having to reference Orwell and Huxley when observing how the ruling class is able to manipulate, subjugate, and propagandize the willfully ignorant masses through lies, deceptions, disinformation, and fear. But here we are, living through a dystopian nightmare blending the worst aspects of Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World.
It’s as if O’Brien and Mustapha Mond are running the show, using behavioral conditioning, restricting freedom of speech, adhering to a strict caste system, surveilling everything we say or do, using our fears to control us, utilizing propaganda to produce false narratives, and ultimately threatening to stomp a boot on our faces forever if we do not obey and conform. Virtually everything we are told by politicians, government bureaucrats, military brass, “esteemed” journalists, medical “experts”, bankers, and corporate executives is lies. They do not believe their lies, but they know it benefits themselves financially to lie, and as long as they work together, they know the ignorant masses will believe them.
George tells Jerry “It’s not a lie if you believe it” as he is going to take a lie detector test. I wonder how Fauci, Biden, Hillary, Obama, Comey, Wray, Pelosi, and the slew of other Deep State coup conspirators would fare on a lie detector test about Russiagate, Covidgate, J6 Insurrectiongate, and Vaccinegate. Based on the titanic volume of lies they have spewed over the last several years, I’m sure the machine would overheat and explode if hooked up to any of this traitorous vile scum.
The humorous phrase uttered by George Costanza on a sitcom twenty-seven years ago captures a significant kernel of truth about the mindset of the vast majority of non-critical thinking drones roaming the aisles of Wal-Marts and waiting in the drive-thru at McDonalds across our dystopian states of America. The lies run so deep you need hip-boots to wade through them on a daily basis. The reason our leaders lie is because we let them lie. The majority prefer comforting lies to unpleasant truths, because accepting unpleasant truths would require them to act and they prefer being distracted by trivialities like sports, reality TV, social media likes and otherwise being addicted to their technological gadgets.
“The process of mass-media deception has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt…. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies all this is indispensably necessary.” – George Orwell
Orwell’s explanation of mass-media deception is a brilliant assessment of how the ruling class changes the narrative to suit their needs, and without blinking an eye are able to deny what they have said and done. Orwell saw this manipulation of the truth before TV, the internet, social media, or professionally created government propaganda existed. In his day only newspapers, radio, and speeches existed to push deception upon the public.
The proliferation of technologically enhanced mass-media deception has accomplished everything the ruling class/oligarchs/Big Brother surveillance state could hope for. Lies and deception are nothing more than a means to their ends of control, wealth, and power. Right and wrong; good and evil; justice and injustice; truth and falsity; humanity and inhumanity; are meaningless concepts to the corrupt, greedy, power hungry, immoral, deviant, evil overlords who wield their wealth to maintain and expand their control over the ignorant masses, unwilling and unable to resist because their indoctrination runs deep, and the unceasing propaganda keeps them confused and angry at phantom enemies.
The perfect example of Orwell’s mass media deception in practice has been this entire Covid hoax, which has been built on a foundation of lies from the very beginning. At the outset Fauci scoffed at the concept of masks providing any protection from a microscopic virus while being interviewed on 60 Minutes. He wasn’t lying. Numerous scientific studies documented by the CDC proved beyond a doubt, masks are absolutely useless in preventing the spread of viruses. But a few weeks later the covid controllers realized the usefulness of masks as the perfect fear inducing symbol of a fake pandemic and the first step in demanding compliance and obedience by the masses.
Suddenly Fauci and his Big Pharma bought medical “expert” lackeys discarded the inconvenient facts that masks do not work, and piously preached that everyone must mask or mass death would occur. Any dissenting voice speaking the truth about masks was the enemy and needed to be silenced, scorned, ridiculed, and destroyed. The deception was aided and abetted by Twitter, Facebook, Google and the feckless MSM doing the bidding of the ruling elite, while being paid off by Big Pharma.
This was only the beginning of a worldwide conspiracy of lies. The videos from China of bodies in the streets were fake. Evidently to provoke fear among the global community. The purported origin of the virus being bats in a wet market in Wuhan was a lie concocted by Fauci, Daszik, and their Chinese co-conspirators to cover-up their illegal weaponization of viruses in the Wuhan Bio-weapon lab. This cover-up was maintained by the dying legacy media, Twitter, Facebook, and Google through the censorship and banning of anyone (ZeroHedge) who dared question the government approved narrative.
The demand for national lockdowns was built on the lies of Neil Ferguson, a 3rd rate academic, and his fear mongering Imperial College model of deaths if the world didn’t shut down. His ludicrous outcomes, based on false assumptions, were the basis for the disastrous decisions made by corrupt politicians across the world. The results in Sweden, which did not lockdown, have proven his model to be worthless, and responsible for the destruction of the lives of millions across the globe.
They lied about social distancing, based on a 3rd grade girl’s school paper. They used a PCR test improperly to falsely produce “positive” cases in order to terrify the masses into a mass formation psychosis. A case was not a sickness. They drastically overestimated the fatality rate and attributed the deaths of extremely old sick people to covid when they died from their existing malady. Only 6% of covid deaths can be attributed to strictly covid. The overall survival rate if you contracted covid is 99.7%, with anyone under 70 years old 99.9%. Virtually no one under 21 years old died from covid. It was less lethal than the annual flu to young people.
The overlords and their bevy of apparatchik whores in the government, media, and academia needed to ramp up the fear through rising cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in order to get rich off this plandemic, while planting the seeds of their Great Reset scheme to turn the world into a compliant surveillance state. The coup de grace of lies was to be the miraculous “Operation Warpspeed vaccine” which would rid the world of this perilous pestilence. Supposedly brilliant virologists developed amnesia over the concept of herd immunity, which has been known for centuries.
This War on Covid has gone as well as the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs, meaning it has been a complete and utter failure in defeating its supposed foe, but has been hugely successful in enriching politicians, corporations, and the multitude of toadies in the media, academia, and the bureaucracy who perpetuate the lies and disinformation they are paid handsomely to disgorge. The lies engulfing the supposed vaccine run deep and wide.
The entire vaccine scheme is built on an altar of lies, mistruths, misinformation, deception, and censorship. mRNA gene therapies have existed for decades and had consistently failed in application as every animal tested using these concoctions died. Pfizer faked their trial data, lied about adverse reactions, lied about long-term safety, lied about effects on pregnant women, and tried to keep these results hidden for seventy-five years. The tripe about these “vaccines” being safe effective has been and continues to be the Big Lie.
The emergency use authorization for these experimental jabs could only be given if there were no existing medications which were an effective treatment for the illness. There were dozens of scientific studies and world-renowned physicians acknowledging the effectiveness of both hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in treating covid and alleviating its symptoms safely and effectively – and cheaply. That was the real problem. The hundreds of billions in profits to be made by Big Pharma, and then divvied up to politicians, legacy media companies, the FBI, and social media censorship arms of the ruling class, would be impossible if the truth about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin was allowed to be acknowledged.
Therefore, Fauci and his sycophants claimed they were dangerous, horse de-wormer medicine, and ineffective. Twitter, Facebook, and Google censored and banned doctors who posted anything positive about either treatment. Meanwhile, Fauci sentenced tens of thousands to death by pushing Remdesivir, a treatment he financially benefitted from, and recommending ventilators for those with covid. Fauci sentenced tens of thousands to death by not allowing these treatments to be used. He deserves the same fate for his treacherous actions but is treated like a saint by the left-wing media and the Biden minions.
"In a meta-analysis of 63 studies of ivermectin versus COVID-19 in humans, 100% of these have shown positive results… 29 of those studies were found to be statistically significant regarding use of ivermectin alone.https://t.co/KRWm8dSTAc
— Robert W Malone, MD (@RWMaloneMD) December 27, 2022
The biggest Orwellian mass-media deception of them all was what the “experts” unequivocally declared about their glorious vaccines. Just as every vaccine in history was supposed to keep you from contracting the illness you were vaccinated against, Fauci, Biden, Walensky, Gates, the Pfizer CEO, and a myriad of other paid “experts” told the global population they would not contract or spread covid once they were vaxxed. They are on video and in print declaring this to be true.
But when it was proven to be not true, they just denied they had ever said so. As long as the masses could be convinced the lie had become the truth, then the lie was the truth, according to the Party and its journalistic narrative guardians. Controlling the narrative through suppressing and censoring the truth is how they continue to maintain control. The release of the Twitter files by Musk confirms every “conspiracy theory” put into the public domain by the naysayers, critical thinkers, and a few honest journalists. They have lied about everything.
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” – Orwell
When confronted by the reality these experimental, toxic, gene altering, spike protein generating brews do not prevent anyone from contracting the virus, being hospitalized by the virus, or dying from the virus, the powers that be just changed the definition of a vaccine and attempted to alter the narrative and pretend they had never said what they said. How Orwellian of our Big Brother overlords. The past is alterable in a totalitarian regime.
“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Even the current definition of vaccination is a lie. Not only does it not protect you from the virus, but the Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE), warned about by highly regarded doctors like Robert Malone, Peter McCullough, and Pierre Kory over a year ago, is now happening to the vaxxed and boosted victims. Biden’s lie about this being a pandemic of the unvaccinated has transformed to the truth we are experiencing a pandemic of the vaccinated. The vaccinated are now 4x as likely to contract covid as an unvaxxed person who has recovered from covid. Natural immunity, which has protected humanity for centuries, is real and far superior to these Big Pharma jabs.
The cognitive dissonance of the vaxxed runs deep. They are too embarrassed and ashamed to admit they were duped and lied to. How many more young people need to “die suddenly” before they turn on Fauci, Biden, Big Pharma CEOs, media talking heads, politicians, and the sickcare industrial complex, and hold them accountable? Is the mass formation psychosis too ingrained in their psyche to ever revolt?
The lies about the covid vaccines being safe and effective, promulgated through a multi-billion-dollar advertising campaign running non-stop for the last two years, paying famous athletes, Hollywood stars, social media influencers, and unethical doctors, are proving to be the most diabolical and fatal falsehoods ever perpetrated on global humanity. The “effective” nonsense was put to bed last year when covid spread faster after more than half the country was berated and threatened into getting the jab, then a 2nd jab, then a 3rd jab, and then a booster, because the previous three failed.
And still half the country refuses to accept the truth because they don’t want to question the narrative or abandon their fellow vaccine cultists. The “safe” garbage narrative is collapsing on a daily basis as factual data about sudden deaths, real scientific studies proving the extreme dangers of these vaxxes, fertility data, excess mortality data, a constant stream of reports about young people contracting myocarditis, having heart attacks, and developing blood clots, has swamped Fauci and his ship of lying fools – with the ultimate result of breaking the mass formation psychosis of the masses.
Essentially, these vaccines are creating a slow-motion mass casualty event, and everyone involved in their premature use in human beings should stand trial for murder, but they won’t. That is because the totalitarian Deep State has grown too powerful, too arrogant, and too filled with contempt for those they rule over. They feel invincible, as they blatantly steal elections, keep peaceful protestors in dungeons, assassinate those who might implicate them in child trafficking conspiracies, use the mechanisms of the surveillance state to crush all opposition, and collude with mass media networks and the Silicon Valley mafia media to suppress the truth and censor those who dare question the Deep State sanctioned narrative. The Twitter files confirm the deceit and treason at the highest levels of government, media, and military. Hannah Arendt describes how totalitarian regimes depend on fabrications to maintain their power.
“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
At this point in history virtually everything uttered by the president, any politician, government bureaucrat, media personality, corporate executive, medical “expert”, and faux journalist is a fabrication, exaggeration, disinformation or outright lie. The list of lies is never ending, and has been going on since Adam and Eve, but the quantity and audaciousness of the lies in recent times has accelerated to a point where the totalitarians no longer fear revelations about their lies. They are comfortable knowing the masses will believe absurdities as long as they confirm their ideologies, biases, and beliefs.
The masses do not mind being lied to because they are entranced by narratives created to keep them under control and focused on whichever enemy they are propagandized to hate, whether it be Trump, lockdown and mask dissenters, anti-vaxxers, phantom white supremacists, J6 “insurrectionists”, the Russians, or “election deniers”. Provenly bold faced liars like Biden and Fauci are admired and celebrated for their dedication to the narrative, despite its falseness. It happened in Nazi Germany, Stalinist Soviet Union, Mao’s Communist China, and today as we plunge towards a new world order totalitarianism of unknown outcomes and atrocities.
“Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
I think a list of big lies is sufficient to prove we are ruled by totalitarian ideologues who don’t care their lies are destroying our country, culture, and societal norms. During my lifetime: they lied about JFK’s assassination; they lied about the Gulf of Tonkin to get us into the Vietnam War; they lied about 9/11; they lied about WMD in Iraq; they lied about the 2008 financial collapse; they lied about the 2014 CIA coup in the Ukraine creating the havoc we have today; they lied about global warming and had to switch to climate change when the original lie was revealed; they lied about Russiagate and their coup against Trump, they lied about the “peaceful” BLM protests; they lied about the cause of George Floyd’s death (fentanyl overdose); they lie about child trafficking and grooming; they lie about butchering children in the name of gender identity; they lied about Hunter Biden’s computer and the Biden family crime syndicate; they lied about rigging the 2020 election; they lied about Epstein’s “suicide”; they lied about the FBI and Pelosi staging the January 6 “insurrection”; they lied about colluding with Twitter, Facebook, and Google to influence elections and create a fake pandemic; they are lying about our border being safe and secure; they are lying that Biden isn’t a dementia ridden puppet controlled by Obama, Soros, and Gates; they are lying that Sam Bankman-Fried and his FTX money laundering operation wasn’t an arm of the Democrat party, using ill-gotten funds and funneling it to Democrat candidates; and they are lying about their intentions to destroy our society through suicidal economic, social, and legal policies in order to usher in a totalitarian Great Reset New World Order run by wealthy elites and their detestable acolytes. Our dystopian nightmare is on-par with Orwell’s.
“The atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun.” – George Orwell
Totalitarian regimes have tremendous success using fake data and fake charts to give the appearance of truth to a populace too willfully ignorant to investigate whether the data and charts are a truthful and accurate reflection of reality. It is so much easier to believe supposed experts than it is to think critically and question the narrative, especially when they are telling you what you want to hear. Even though the average person knows their financial situation has steadily deteriorated over the last two decades, along with the financial situation of the country, they still believe the fake data vomited on a daily basis by the government and Wall Street banking cabal.
They are lying about the inflation rate being 7%. It is more than double the government reported figure, based upon the calculation from 1980 when Volker needed to raise the Fed Funds Rate to 18%.
They are lying about the 3.7% unemployment rate. The total working age population is 265 million, up from 212 million in 2000. There are 158 million employed today, versus 137 million in 2000. The unemployment rate in 2000 of 4% is virtually the same as the rate reported today. How could that be if the working age population went up by 53 million, but employment only went up by 21 million? Quite a conundrum. It’s easy if you lie. According to the government 100 million working age Americans choose not to work, therefore they aren’t unemployed. That number was 70 million in 2000. Fully 40% of our working age citizens are not working today, but the government tells you our unemployment rate is 3.7%. This might be the biggest lie ever told.
The government has reported positive real GDP growth for most of the past two decades, with short-term dips in 2008/2009 and due to covid in 2020. Those figures are lies. Using a truthful inflation figure shows GDP has barely stayed flat for the last 20 years. The great American economy hasn’t grown in 20 years. We are a dying lying empire of debt. Our national debt grew from $5.7 trillion in 2000 to $31.5 trillion today. The debt to GDP ratio has gone from 55% in 2000 to 122% today. Throughout history, when this ratio exceeds 90%, economic disaster follows.
The biggest lie has been perpetrated by the Wall Street controlled Federal Reserve, whose mandates are a stable currency and low unemployment. With a straight face these jokers declare they have succeeded, while the USD has lost 97% of its purchasing power since the deceitful inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and the real unemployment rate is north of 20%. Losing the last 3% of purchasing power guarantees to be the most painful.
After documenting the outrageous multitude of lies being told by those controlling the levers of society, I’m torn regarding whether I trust enough people can be awakened from their self-induced stupor of belief in authority to mount a counter-offensive of truth. I guess I wouldn’t be writing articles about these subjects unless I thought there was a kernel of hope I could plant with my reasoning. But I find myself drawn more towards the conclusion reached by Alexandre Koyré over fifty years ago about mobs and the ease with which totalitarian authority figures can manipulate them:
“The mob believes everything it is told, provided only that it be repeated over and over. Provided too that its passions, hatreds, fears are catered to. Nor need one try to stay within the limits of plausibility: on the contrary, the grosser, the bigger, the cruder the lie, the more readily is it believed and followed. Nor is there any need to avoid contradictions: the mob never notices; needless to pretend to correlate what is said to some with what is said to others: each person or group believes only what he is told, not what anyone else is told; needless to strive for coherence: the mob has no memory; needless to pretend to any truth: the mob is radically incapable of perceiving it: the mob can never comprehend that its own interests are what is at stake.” ― Alexandre Koyré, Réflexions sur le mensonge
When the mob has been essentially hypnotized by totalitarian authority figures, unbound from the law through illegally invoking “emergency” powers to ensure the safety of the masses, it takes massive bloodshed and enormous upheaval before the mob will come to their senses and realize their dreadful misplacement of trust in tyrants. Personally, I hope I am wrong about what lies ahead, but I don’t see a pathway towards a peaceful, reasoned resolution of what plagues our country and the world.
Fools, knaves, and low IQ ideologues control the narrative, the political power, the media messaging, the banks, and the minds of the mob. We can attempt to distance ourselves from the onslaught, but there really is no way to escape the impact of a Fourth Turning, whether it be global conflict, civil chaos, financial Armageddon, or the wrath of the mob for being right about the vaccines, politicians, or the financial markets. I am not surprised or upset about the lies told to me by those running the show. Neitzsche and Carlin, two brilliant thinkers, pretty much sum up my feelings.
“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
“My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me. Nothing. Zero.” – George Carlin
Very few people who need to awaken from their propaganda induced stupor of believing absurdities will read this article. Those who are already awake and can see what is happening clearly have few or no options to impact the course we are traveling. Too few see the iceberg dead ahead as the U.S. Titanic accelerates towards its rendezvous with destiny. We can shout and wave our hands, but there is nothing we can do to alter the course of an empire run by idiot ideologues, hellbent on the destruction of our ship of state. As Bradbury presciently noted in his masterpiece of societal self-immolation, I can’t make people listen to a message they don’t want to hear.
“But you can’t make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can’t last.” ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
At this point I’m torn between the darkness of Orwell’s vision and the stoic attitude put forth by Tolkien. We are living in a time of universal deceit and telling the truth feels like a revolutionary act when the mob is under the spell of mass formation psychosis. It is an interesting dichotomy that this article will only be read by a small audience of people who already agree with most of my arguments. If it ever reached a wider audience, I would be attacked by the mob, censored, threatened, and doxed in an attempt to destroy my life. So be it.
I will do what I can do with my limited resources, protect my loved ones, strengthen relationships with like-minded hobbits, disconnect from this warped and deviant society as much as possible, distance myself from the government, prepare for an uncertain future, and try my best to navigate the perils ahead. We only have a limited time on this earth to make a difference. We each must decide what we do with the time given us. God help us.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I agree Crash , I don’t understand the thinking behind all the downvoters .Also it implies some individual personal responsibility on our part ( we just aren’t doing something individually otherwise the world would be all lolipops and rainbows. Nonsense , I’ve been warning people for decades they just don’t want to listen , and Ihave been a non exploitive freemarketeer , which is perceived as being a sucker , like I care )for the state of things, which is collectivist drivel .
It goes deeper than that because it involves your idea of god.
Thanks for the cryptic hint. Keep me updated if you drop anymore mysterious clues.
I hate to break it to Mr. Brown, but “people” – generally – aren’t going to someday, suddenly “realize” jack shit.
Some are aware of the managing and policing by some ‘elite’, and some are not.
On occasion, an individual will experience something that wakes him to this situation; but some mass awakening by a majority of people isn’t going to happen … ever. Unfortunately, it’s just not how most human brains are wired.
I keep hearing about this dude named Santos from Long Island who just won a congressional seat by saying he’s a gay Jew when really he’s a straight gentile. That’s brilliant and funny. Play by their rules. The Dems are acting all offended that a liar won a seat. That’s rich. I think he should be made Speaker of the House. Clearly the man has a gift.
Saw a blurb in passing (don’t waste the time to read that kind of bovine feces anymore) that the dems were getting on the guy’s case for ####LYING#### and were planning legal action of some kind. First was wondering if the dems planted him as a RINO who-once elected-would dutifully help carry out the plan to destroy America.
Have an acquaintance who has worked for the ree-pub party at the precinct level for about 20 years; he quit after the mid-terms because the only recruits for elective office his party can come up with are RINOs who remind him of nothing but young, left wing college grads who majored in something that will never land them a job.
GOP dey fags, too.
The Republican Party was founded by Northern elitist progressives and they still run it today, which also translates to a organization of shit eating dogs.
This [Northern conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip.”

🤣🤣🤣 “Its impotency is not hard, indeed, ” 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, Hey, HEY! Wait just a minute there, bub.
My dearly departed Henry (golden retriever mix), had a period of trouble with the coprophagia as a puppy. He grew out of it as most puppies do, but I do not appreciate you denigrating shit eating dogs by equating them with establishment Republicans!
No Shambala
It’s always been this way. Always reverts to feudalism. Those brief milliseconds of personal freedom on the time line of human civilization were anomalies, not the normal order of things. There are no politics, no forms of government, no philosophy. Only feudalism. It’s in our dna and burned into our souls. We are fallen angels.
Robert (QSLV)
If feudalism is inevitable, then I vow to be a lord, noble, whatever. Serfdom ain’t in the cards for yours truly. It will be a benevolent fiefdom I run, too. Taxes capped at a mere 3% of your harvest, income, whatever, all combined. I’ll align closely with the RC Church and we’ll have a flourishing little empire. The problem will be having to defend it from others but otherwise, life won’t be all that bad, just different from what we’ve all lived through and known. Who wants to be one of my serfs?
I would prefer to be a vassal, like a Franklin or Baron and say cool shit like Cedric the Saxon. Cedric was a real wordsmith with rantings like “she-bitch of a goat’s gizzard” and stuff like that.
Thirty Years War 2.0
Feudalism is mankind’s natural state. We are a tribal species and independence frightens us. Freedom requires bravery, and individual responsibility, which are traits lacking in the vast majority. The US was founded by pioneers who were brave and willing to take responsibility for their own lives, and thus we began as a rebel nation that valued freedom and liberty.
That all changed when immigration diluted our population with tribal peasants. It is a shame there is no place left for the brave freedom loving people to start over. I suppose we are condemned to live in a world of idiots and slaves.
What if it’s not “willful”? Could that water moccamsin’s fangs inject some easy simple red pill syrup into a bloodstream? Could it answer, once & for all, the question “why”?
It’s not willful.
“Will” is narrative. A story. Like Horatio Alger. And it doesn’t serve. But it does go into the serving up.
Will wouldn’t will this.
Can’t have that cheesecake plus eat it, too.
More like Charlie’s Angels.
“Or Equal” is probably still standard on Bid Specs?
Self Will run riot. BLM berserkers wild in the street car named desire. Have your Tea Party and eat it too. Fiddles burn while Nero eats cake. Drive him fast to his tomb. All the same, all the same……….

“We are fallen angels”
You think WAY too highly of yourself if you actually believe that shit. It’s clearly a lie.
Fallen angels clearly no, but an inferior, genetically created slave race of programmable, and self reproducing biological robots with the illusion of freedom, definitely YES.
” but an inferior, genetically created slave race…”
Formerly, delved into THAT whole Hole, The ORIGINAL “Climate Change!” premise.
Much to Your
sneering derisioncurrent ‘Disbelief’, i’m Gonna stick with The Bible. MUCH more plausible. Logical. Did say a prayer for You last night, after reading several of Your ‘related’ opinions; this Article, Your replies.I’m not prepared to call you a liar, but I would like to discuss, in detail, your premise.
What you say has merit, but it only fits into my realm of understanding under certain circumstances. To the particular, I believe in GOD granted free will.
Yes. We’re all fookin idiots. That has to be a given. And no, we’ll never aspire to the level of existence true angels occupy. The Creator, by whatever Name you wish to use to address Him, ordered it so.
But we ARE inspirable beings. We are open to Divine Suasion…Amen, Inshallah, and Shalom.
We are more than what you suggest we are…and I say this to you in all humility.
You a biological robot? Who programed you? Who programed you to make comments exposing the truth? By default what you believe isn’t truth at all but just a pre programed response. Does that compute? Beep once for yes beeb 2x for no. Hope you don’t short circuit yourself trying to compute that.
You misunderstand. The “angel” occasionally manifests in most of us. Try it some time.
The word angel just means messenger.
And the term “messenger” is a loaded one. For instance, the Angel of Russia might choose to deliver a nuclear “Message” right up your fucking ass!
If your objective here was to impress? Dramatic fookin fail.
And yeah…I thumbed ya. I’ll own it.

Angels can not “manifest”. They simply ARE.
Godly Angels, nor Fallen angels, are given the authority to occupy human flesh. They may coerce or otherwise manipulate the flesh to their own ends, but they can not occupy that flesh themselves. It would end their existence to attempt it. GOD Forbade it.
Demons, on the other hand (which are the disembodied hybrid children of the Fallen Ones) ARE capable of inhabiting human flesh. In point of fact it is their sole (soul?) purpose.
So, I have misunderstood nothing.
We’re in a state of war.
I know my enemy.
I know their hierarchy.
I understand my place in my LORD’s Army. (I’m a well placed pawn)
I’m good to go, Robert. I’ve tried it all and I’m good to go.
You ready to go over the falls in a barrel with me? It appears to be the only way through. Not out, but through.
A coward dies 1000 deaths. A brave man dies but once…except Jesus. He died for all of us.
“Godly Angels, nor Fallen angels, are given the authority to occupy human flesh.”
Hebrews 13:2
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
And of course,
Luke 8:33
“Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.”
King James Version (KJV)
My mind, too, races from Huxley to Orwell, to Tolkien, to Rand and “Atlas Shrugged”, to C.S. Lewis and “Men Without Chests”, to Yuri Bezmenov on the planned demoralization of the West, to the various observations and quotes from Solzhenitsyn, Carlin, Zappa, and others.
All amid the paradox of my own beautiful life before the sheer terror of what ongoing global circumstances absolutely guarantee.
Dickens, too, comes to mind and “A Tale of Two Cities”:
Most days I don’t have answers. Only choices.
Thank you, Jim, for the words.
Great comment Doug,
I’ve not thought of Dickens for some time.
” it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness…”
chilling.
Uncola
All great references but don’t forget the originals.
The old Testament Prophet’s, new Testament Apostles and especially Jesus Himself.
This isn’t just an 80 year fourth turning but I believe in all my heart a 2000 year final turning.
Eyes,
Although these were not mentioned in my above comment, they were addressed here before:
Mr. Uncola,
Worth reading again, just for…”especially with patriotic American presidents like Ronnie Raygun at the helm”.
On a serious note? an excerpt from…
“We’re about to enter into a real Walking Dead scenario and the Dark Powers will be getting years of mileage out of COVID-19 in every aspect of post-American life.
Truly, the new age will be delivered by concentrically tightening circles of control – like a noose. The Powers That Be have successfully divided and dispersed what they have deemed a threat: the American people. All that remains now is the conquering, and it will come in waves, or seasonal cycles…”
We’re soaking in it.
Hope You feel like posting soon again.
Thank You
Thank you Anon, I am truly grateful to Jim Q. for the free speech. As stated before, TBP is perhaps the coolest little digital airport bar on the web.
As mentioned in my out of office memo, I’ve been otherwise engaged for the time being – but with all good and positive things.
Cheers to new year and to the best and worst of times👍
Fuck me! I never imagined myself as a Forrest Gump wannabe living in an airport bar/lounge…until just this moment! The possibilities are staggering!…or maybe it’s just me.
I think more than a few of us here think of you as Forrest Gump.
Jesus, according to the scriptures, told his disciples over 2,000 years ago that his predictions would take place back then during THEIR lifetime. He told them that the arrival of the Kingdom of God was near, at hand. And that some of them would be alive to see it. That’s why he sent them to announce the Good News of the Kingdom. Clearly it wasn’t meant for people living 2,000 years later! Since then, each generation of so called christians has believed that it’s going to happen during their time. Can’t you see that it’s all a psyop? Time to wake up!
Souls began being saved 2,000 years ago but the mark of the beast could not occur until now. The technology did not exist to control buying or selling.
Nice try, you are self deluded. You don’t need advanced technology to put a mark on someone’s forehead. Besides, it was the Jesus that you worship as God who said it, not me. People like you are willing to twist scriptures in order to accomodate your beliefs. That’s not honesty, it’s self delusion.
Show me in history when the Mark of the Beast occurred, dumbfuck. You can’t, so who is deluded? You. This is why you will accept the antichrist as the return of Jesus. Look around and wake up from your foolishness.
Of course it didn’t occur, and it will never occur because the bible is full of bullshit. the only reason it still exists today is to fool idiots like you that lack the capacity to think for themselves.
The Bible has never been proven wrong historically, prophetically, scientifically, or archeologically. So identify the exact bullshit, dumbshit. Unless you can’t?
Total fucking bullshit. First, which Bible?
And since many contradict each other, at least all-but-one are “wrong”.
Couldn’t come up with anything, could you. What are the contradictions? The original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Kione Greek scriptures are beyond dispute. Do your research fuckface before you bare your dumb ass here.
I think these words have a different meaning. At hand means now, not near and he was referring to people’s relation to God in this world, not the events of Revelation. Things changed after He ascended, so they did live to see direct personal connection to God. The end times are when the elect are resurrected and my guess is I won’t live to see them in this body.
The Son told us only the Father knows the end times.
You cherry-pick verses that you think prove Christianity false. You don’t understand scripture, and you won’t try. But to make yourself feel intelligent or important you arrive unbidden in a comment section frequented by many Christians and begin mocking their faith and making specious arguments against that faith out of ignorance.
The proof you are wrong can be found (among other places) simply in a combination of Luke 17:20-21 and the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. They did live to see the Kingdom of God, and it was within them.
You are a rude jerk who calls others deluded and unable to think for themselves while ADOPTING WHOLESALE a concocted mixture of an ancient pantheistic religion and the prophetic insight of guys like this:
Please go away and deal with your childhood issues on your own time.
I just have to say it once in this life…
Fuck all you pussies claiming “cheery picking” of Scripture.
Here’s your challenge…
Pick ANY passage of Scripture and prove it false…
FAGGOT
I triple dog dare ya!
There it is again. You really do have an obsession with the faggotry.
None project a behavior on others as much as those are trying to hide their real feelings.
Unfortunately Dickens had no fookin idea what “bad” REALLY looked like. We don’t either…but give it a minute.
Doug,
I know you don’t know me from Adam, but I’d like to interject here if I may…and this isn’t directed at you personally, but as a Christian I have to say that I take offense at EVERY reference to Aldous Fucking Huxster.
The guy was a GOD Damned Satan worshiper for Christ’s sake!
Why does no one on this board EVER bring that up?
I have questions…beyond this one…but mainly , what the fuck is up with all the ball fondling of a GOD Damned Satanist?
PS : I’m sorry for the misdirected anger. Just HAD to put it out there. One of those “change my mind” things.
PPS: Our reading backgrounds are remarkably similar!
Honestly, TCS, I am not aware of Huxley being a Satan worshipper. I know he wrote about his experiences doing mescaline in “Doors of Perception” and also an essay on Heaven and Hell from those experiences. He also wrote the non-fiction book “The Devils of Loudun” about an incident involving demonic influence in 17th century France.
But, in any event, I believe most references to Huxley out here on the inner-webic blogosphere (including my own) involve his observations on humanity in “Brave New World” – as opposed to the author’s personal life, per se. Ya know?
I like the last line best:
“in short, the period was so far the like present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
Everything changes and nothing changes. Stasis and Change locked in endless battle. The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, respectively. And ugly fucking Human Nature at odds with those same Humans miraculous capacity for beauty and decency and love.
Also, buried in there is the concept of “noisy” authorities. Is there a better description of our “expert” culture?
Interesting observations, as usual, Drud
Around 20 years ago, was with my 15-16 yr. old daughter in my car listening to a mid-50s Dragnet episode on Sirius (pre-XM merger) about a “payroll robbery”. She asked what’s that? “Hon, factories paid their employees in cash, as around 90-95% didn’t have bank accounts.”
She was shocked.
I used to listen to dragnet and other stories on radio about 35 or so years ago. How I fell asleep at night. Dragnet was a favorite.
Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday was a good lead-in for Robert Stack as Eliot Ness. Back when television was worth watching.
My Great-Grandfather was paid in a brown paper bag once a week. During the great depression, in times of galloping inflation, it changed to twice a day, and his wife biked to his workplace to take the money straight to the grocery store to get food before the money was worth less.
🤣 Stuffed to varying degrees, Crown Royal® bags were popular for a minute.
Many years ago a college chum mentioned that his wife worked at Woolco (the discount store of Montgomery Ward) and they would pay all employees in cash. The payroll office was in the back of the store. Reason: employees with cash in hand had to walk through the store-with all the shelves full of merchandise-in order to get to the parking lot.
Great article, Admin.
I feel your pain and disgust. Everything we ever thought we knew (and more than we think) are all lies, and the liars pure evil. They have stolen the minds of our youth, outright robbed us of countless trillions, are effecting genocide on Whites, surveilling, brutalizing, terrorizing and fear-mongering us 24/7, eliminating the elderly (lest they impart their generational knowledge), destroying our economy, attacking our food and power supplies, pushing their deadly drugs with impunity — where does it end?
The worst feeling of all is complete powerlessness: “Is there nothing I can do to stop this? Are my children going to have to suffer because I failed them? Does anyone else know what to do?”
I would rather die than live in the world they have planned for us.
Show resolve, don’t ever say that you would rather not live, set a strong example to your children. You do have a choice, prepare, prepare and then prepare more for what is coming, live through this and thrive on the other side.
Then the “Obvious” choice is to eliminate those threatening to destroy our world. There will be a trigger event, unknown at present. Yet, there will be one. Try to be ready to take appropriate action. That’s our job for the time being. “Hurry up and wait.”
As the bumper sticker says: “Resist”.
And recall the heights of beauty humanity is capable of reaching:
Stay strong and hopeful and even thankful. Right to the end.
There won’t be a trigger event if everyone is standing around waiting for one, and even if such an event could exist, nothing would trigger without organization.
There were two types of people in the dining room of the Titanic: those who ordered a Brandy because they had no clue, or denied, what deep shit they were in. And those who ordered a double and commiserated with friends because they knew precisely what was coming.
I prefer the latter.
And if you think you can build a life raft and survive at this late juncture and you actually believe that there is someplace safe in that evil ocean, give it your best shot.
But at some point, we will all have to choose if we want to put our souls at hazard and be part of this evil world (as the sheriff from ‘No Country for Old Men’ once said).
Would you sexually abuse and mutilate your kids if the government forced you to, or die fighting it? Would you take another death jab in the next (worse) Plan-demic containing nano-particles altering the DNA “you” in you and letting Gates Frankenstein monster you, or die fighting against it?
Would you agree to get one of Musk’s completed Neuralink brain implant chips (now tested on humans) to allow the Deep State to remote control you, or would you die fighting against it?
Will you let the government loot and control all of your fund accounts with CBDC so that every statement, action and purchase you make must serve Satanic elites or you will get it all taken away, or will you die fighting against it?
Those are the kind of choices that will be forced on all of us in the coming days. Choose wisely.
Putting your soul in that pot and betting it is winner is a sure loser.
The truth does not exist.
Believe what you see.
Robert (SRT Sig Navy)
Mark twain famously said “believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.
The truth does exist, but, nothing is ever quite as it seems.
You sound like Pontius Pilate, he ended up killing himself.
The truth is all around you, it is yours for the taking. Its is a gift, accept the truth. Makes life a bit more enjoyable, a whole lot less shallow.
Jesus speaking : John 3:19-21
‘And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.’
Of course truth exists. If lies exist, then truth must exist also. Everything must be balanced by an opposite.
Here, have a fig-Newton on me.
Truth DOES exist, GNL.
He is seated at the right hand of his Father, right now as we type.
I thought He was ” The Word ” ? Oh yeah , ” The way ,THE TRUTH , and the light “also ……
The TRUTH? Home come what he told his disciples in the 1st century about the coming of the kingdom during THEIR generation never took place?
How come?
The Kingdom DID come in their generation. It’s here now. What we’re waiting on is the return of the King. We are to abide till He returns. He’s waiting at the right hand of His Father who will give Him the nod when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Most Gnostics call the Most High God the “Demi Urge.” They (you I think) think God is a failed creator who imposes rules and limits on people whereas Satan frees man to “do as you will.”
Thankfully He sits as to let the harvest ripen and grow. After He stands:
Joe 2:31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joe 2:11 ask ‘who can abide it?’
Joe 2:13 has the answer…
Keep dreaming.
Well you seem pretty sure of that ironically ? Sorry but that was just too easy .
“The truth does not exist.”
Is THIS a truth?
If it’s true… then it’s false. 🙂
Thank you for clarifying that.
I’ve been pounding my “kids”(they are late 20s and early 30s) that everything is a lie, for years. They think I’m a fool.
There is no getting through to them. Wokeness is their ally and I fear, will be the cause of their premature demise.
We really don’t speak anymore. It’s sad and heartbreaking.
I’ll forward this fantastic article (thanks Jim) to them. I hold out for their awakening which will come at some point. I worry it will be too late to matter.
I am fortunate, my 17 year old daughter believes me when I tell her that everything is a lie, she lives in a world of smoke and mirrors. I just sent this to her to read and discuss later.
You live in a yewish-dominated world, where facts don’t matter. Sales (emotions) are supreme, and unless you can appeal to these, you will lose. It’s really a disgusting thing, when things are judged not by their content, but rather their appearance.
You’ve got to make it cool, and appealing. Another reason why I make young converts everywhere I go, even among the latin youf. I tell them about italy and spain, fascism, to be proud of their heritage and culture, to value healthy communities and families. It resonates with them, after much internal struggle.
The white college kids are much easier, as long as theyre not geeky, beta bitchboiz. All the normal white kids can see it, they just need somebody to articulate things for them (to hear words theyre not allowed to ever say or hear) and to draw connections between the injustices theyve endured their whole lives.
If it ever backfires, I tell them I’m an antifascist jew. It makes them want to join the right side, no matter what. Ha
As I often tell others after a dead-end debate, “go to the children’s section of any public library and look at the books selected for the young ones, then come back and still tell me we are not screwed”.
I have come to the conclusion that the quality of life depends upon hope. We are happy when we are young because we believe our future will be what we want. As we get older those dreams are crushed one by one until we become old and have little to look forward to, and lose our ability to be happy and enjoy. Allow your children their dreams, it is the only enjoyment they will ever have.
Thanks for the words Jdog.
I’ve always expressed an optimism to them but I’ve always told them the reality (my reality, I know) of the true ways of the world. I did that so they could (hopefully) see how to avoid the pitfalls. No better example than Covid. My oldest has had a least 3 jabs and got the flu vaccine also this year. They are enraptured(?) by wokeism which we have never advised. I’ve been telling her for 3 years the jabs are poison.
It’s absolutely dumbfounding the way they see the world. They swallowed the propaganda hook, line and sinker.
I can only imagine college got to them; believing their idiotic “professors” over dad.
Yes false dreams and beliefs that always en up in deception. Just like Santa Claus.
I hear you, i remember trying to sit down with my daughter and give this kind of disclosure to her . I even phrased it as their generation getting a raw deal for the crap my generation let slide . Silly me , I totally forgot that angst ridden teenage girls are actually all knowing , she wasnt having any of it . We dont talk or have a relationship either and it is heartbreaking .
Satan is The Father Of All Lies.
An overwhelming majority of Americans, of all political stripes, for one reason or another, prefer The Lie.
Not just Americans.
Beats hard work, be it mental or physical.
JoeBob,
The greatest achievement,yet, of the great deceiver is getting folks to believe he does not exist.
Yes, you have been deceived with religious propaganda. That’s how deep it goes.
I would disagree. I think that the greatest achievement is making adults fear and believe in someone who doesn’t exist. Like Satan, the boogeyman of christianity, or the Santa Claus of adults, that imaginary man in the sky.
“believe in someone who doesn’t exist.”?
You seem to be lacking exposure. Nearly inconceivable, but maybe You never had a mirror?
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Upton Sinclair
Just because the bible says so right? Then why is it that the god of the bible also lies and deceives huh? Who came before, God or Satan? Lol! It’s right in your bible. Look it up.
GFY, troll.
Truth hurts when you are heavily invested in the lie…..
Why not answer him instead of just a pathetic “GFY” outburst? Maybe show how he is wrong. Oh, right, you can’t so you resort to “GFY, troll.”. Hang your head in shame if that is the extent of your ability to debate or challenge a point.
I’m just grateful there are others who can discern the difference between the truth and the lies.
Things are going to work out in the long run, we’re just caught in a bad part of the cycle and one thing you can’t change is the time in which you were born.
Down voters should justify the vote. Exactly what was said and why it required a downvote.
It’s a bot.
At 5:51, so yeah, probably a bot.
5:51? Are you able to determine the exact time when each vote, up or down, comes in? Or, was it the first vote and you just happened to notice the time? Just curious.
“Are you able to determine the exact time when each vote, up or down, comes in? ”
@ #metoo
He saw it tick over right after he posted it, probably. His post was 5:50 AM, it says.
10-4
“Things are going to work out in the long run”
The reason for my down vote is, I can not agree with that statement. I am not that optimistic. Only the sudden return of Christ and I am not a Rapture, left behind believer. Christ will return in His own time, non of use know when. Life is going to become darker in the long run.
Christ promised to come back during the 1st century. That’s what he said to his disciples. Read your bible and stop being fooled!
Sure. But first century of which millennia?
The Bible(s) are vague enough as to mean essentially nothing. Interpretation + faith = whatever the reader wants it to mean.
And, maybe he came back in the first, took a look around and said, “Fuck this. I’m outta here”.
Matthew 24:34 “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”
“This generation”: This cannot refer to the generation living at that time of Christ, for “all these things”, the abomination of desolation (verse 15), the persecutions and judgments (verses 17-22), the false prophets (verses 23-26), the signs in the heavens (verses 27-29), Christ’s final return (verse 30), and the gathering of the elect (verse 31), did not “take place” in their lifetime.
It seems best to interpret Christ’s words as a reference to the generation alive at the time when those final hard labor pains begin. This would fit with the lesson of the fig tree, which stresses the short span of time in which these things will occur.
This is speaking of the generation in whose lifetime all these signs occur. That generation will not pass away until “all these things be fulfilled.” In other words, the previously listed signs will continue to multiply throughout the church age and reach their ultimate climax at the end of the age in the generation of those who will live to see the entire matter fulfilled in their lifetime.
Verses 35-38: Verses 35 and 36 warn against attempts to set an exact date for Christ’s return at the end of the church age. To speculate that “day” and “hour” do not eliminate “year” is a gross oversimplification. The “Father only” knows the time of Christ’s return since it has been set by His authority (Acts 1:7).
However, we are given a comparison to the “days of Noah” (and the Flood), which illustrate and prefigure the condition of humanity at the time of Christ’s return. The last generation, like the one of Noah’s day, is pleasure-oriented and self-gratifying by “eating and drinking.”
The reference to “marrying and giving in marriage” may refer to carrying on the normal course of life without heeding the impending judgment.
Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
“Heaven and earth shall pass away”: The “heaven” refers to the physical universe. Some scripture interpretations include the words “with a roar”. The “roar” connotes a whistling or a crackling sound as of objects being consumed by flames. God will incinerate the universe, probably in an atomic reaction that disintegrates all matter as we know it (see 2 Peter 3:10).
The elements will be destroyed with intense heat. The “elements” are the atomic components into which matter is ultimately divisible, which make up the composition of all the created matter. This means that the atoms, neutrons, protons, and electrons are all going to disintegrate.
Then the whole of the physical, natural earth in its present form, with its entire universe will be consumed (Isa. 24:19-20; 34:4).
This is called “the Day of the Lord” which is a technical term pointing to the special intervention of God in human history for judgment. It ultimately refers to the future time of judgment whereby God judges the wicked on earth and ends this world system in its present form.
The Old Testament prophets saw the final Day of the Lord as unequaled darkness and damnation, a day when the Lord would act in a climactic way to vindicate His name, destroy His enemies, reveal His glory, establish His kingdom and destroy the world (Isa. 2:10-21; 13:6-22; Joel 1, 2; Amos 5; Obadiah 15; Zech. 14; Mal. 4; 2 Thess. 1:7; 2:2).
It occurs at the time of the tribulation on earth (Rev. 6:17), and again 1,000 years later at the end of the millennial kingdom before the creation of the new heavens and new earth (verse 13; Revelation 20:1 – 21:1).
We know that somewhere in the future, the heaven and earth will pass away, because we read we shall have a new heaven and a new earth. Jesus is the Word of God. He is also, eternal. By this, we know the Word is eternal.
Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
“Day and hour”: The disciples wanted to fix the precise time, but this was not for them to know (Acts 1:7). No one knows for sure the hour or the day that the Lord shall return to the earth.
We read (in Luke chapter 21 verses 34-36): “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.” “For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
What in the world is surfeiting in verse 34? This is about over indulgence, and how it can cloud our senses to the point where we miss God and become ensnared in the things of this world.
Even though we do not know the day or hour, we can see all around us the signs. We have an expectancy in our hearts, if we truly love Jesus. We must not grow lax and fall back in sin as the Scriptures above are saying in Luke.
Jesus recommended that we use that time to pray. The moment we are not expecting Him, is when Jesus will return. We must be ready. The Jewish bride waits at her home, until the groom builds her a home approved by his father. The groom does not even know the time. When the father is satisfied that the house is ready, he sends his son for the bride.
The groom stands on a hill just outside the city and blows the trumpet. The bride must be ready, and when she hears the trumpet, goes to meet her groom. They steal away together.”
Again;
The Bible(s) are vague enough as to mean essentially nothing. Interpretation + faith = whatever the reader wants it to mean.
“Interpretation + faith = whatever the reader wants it to mean.”
Another testament to Free Will.
Yeah! This!
HSF has his own, personal downvoting bot? Who knew…
I think it’s random.
Unless someone really has a hard on for my early morning posts.
or it could be that one of the freaks in DC is following everything you say.
Or an algo at Langley, crawling the Web for keywords and phrases.
I am reminded of a discussion I had long ago with Freemason in which he was astonished that I knew certain things that most people do not know. He told me that I had discovered a lot of truth in my studies, but he said you will soon realize, the more you know, the more you will wish you didn’t know.
I now understand what he was saying. There are times when I wish I could not know, and be a happy idiot.
Fat, dumb, and happy. Living in a shack somewhere in flyover country.
Much harder to keep ones joy in life when the scales have come off the eyes. Once you see it– the unending lies/propaganda, it can’t be unseen. To be a Watchman on The Wall in our present society is also to suffer the fate of Cassandra-or even worse.
There is beauty, there is truth, and there is wealth, though you be poor.

A.I. is becoming better all the time at producing “believable” (to the ignorant, and even the bright) text. Wonderful, eh? Just what the Fact-Chekas could use: rapidly available artificial truthiness flavoring, to add to official narratives. Deep-faked “news”, or more cultural Marxist college nonsense. Add deep-faked digital sound and vision, a little DNA (or a bribed examiner who “finds” and “verifies” it and testifies to its authenticity – “the science” – and voilà, you’re toast.
Theodore Dalrymple @ Takimag today:
EXCERPT:
My fellow scribbler in this august journal, Mr. Charles Norman, alerted me recently to a site that, through artificial intelligence, will produce a coherent and even cogent short essay on almost any subject. He illustrated the site’s powers by requesting of it a Marxist-Leninist critique of Winnie-the-Pooh, citing the work of the late Marxist historian and ferocious snob Eric Hobsbawm. The resulting paragraphs, generated in a matter of seconds, were better written than many a contemporary PhD student could manage, and in fact approximated what I myself would have written if I had been asked to produce something on the same subject.

King James Version (KJV)
Great article, Admin. The America of our youth, the dream she once was, has been sold for 30 pieces of silver. What has become of the west is even beyond the wildest dark imaginations of sci-fi authors of even 20 years ago.
Even when they pull back the curtain to expose the brick wall at the back of the theater people will still believe the narrative was real. I fear there is no saving anyone that is not already on board with this article. Like LLPOH said in an article some time ago, what will it take, if not now then when?
The question has not been answered in the years since, it wont be answered ever …
Captured all I have been thinking in one article
I hate to burst everyone’s bubble and reveal the truth but everything that people love to hate about Joebama Binbiden, Donald Trump is the individual that promoted and started these Covid 19 lies. Who gave us Anthony Fraudci?: DJT. Who gave us Deborah Birx?: DJT. Who initiated and promoted “Operation Warp Speed”?: DJT. Who declared and pushed a national lockdown?: DJT. Former CDC Director Redfield that lied about the efficacy of face masks before Con-gress was a DJT appointee. I could go on for perpetuity but I think people should get the message that we’ve lied to by both Demonic-rats and Republic-rats, AKA the Uniparty and will continue to lie to push their narratives.
Day late and a dollar short.
Seventy Three, fair enough. Now give us your other version of how things would have been in 2020 if Hillary were President. It helps to look at both sides of the issue. Thank you.
I realized this in 1990, trust none of what you hear on TV, especially if it is coming from an expert, “government official”(that term makes me cringe), or someone in academia.
Exactly. They’re all gatekeepers of the system.
“Who gave us Anthony Fraudci?”
Well, I believe if you look, it was in fact “Bedtime for Bonzo” reagan who promoted him and bestowed his current crown.
Been wrong before. Will be again. Hasn’t killed me. Yet.
Mind control is not a new concept, it is as old as slavery it’s self. Slavery start’s with the stolen control of your mind. Manipulation of the spirit is founded in lies, disinformation, paranoia and punishment. The first step to freedom is to take back the control of your mind.
Is that not what George Orwell was trying to depict in the Character of Winston Smith. Question everything and be prepared for the consequences of realizing the truth, that you are a slave and you have allowed your mind to be imprisoned. Speaking truth to lies is the first step to freedom.
Admins “TBP” is an example of a lighthouse in the storm. Speaking truth to the power, birthed in lies, is not without consequence, but what price shall we place on the freedom of our minds and control of our spirits?
Storm? Lighthouse?
Sorry! Could Not resist tryin’ to
injectadd a little levity.The ones that see thru the bullshit are their worst enemies.
They may laugh and say we are misguided fools in the light of day.
But in the dark of night they lay awake, hating the fact they cannot fool all of us.
We may not cause them fear as far as punishing them for the crimes, which most will never be tried for, we cause them fear because we carry The Flame.
As long as we are carrying The Flame, we are winning……….
Do Not Forget That
The lies accumulate and grow like a snowball. Only, it’s being rolled uphill. Don’t know how far up it will be pushed, or how large it will become, before it rolls back and crushes everything in its path. Don’t know if that event is coming soon, but it is coming. Me, I would kinda like it if we could get it over & done with, as long as my kids come out OK.
Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.
In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,
the meaning discovered there.
And if the world has ceased to hear you,
say to the silent earth: I flow.
To the rushing water, speak: I am.
The worst part of the whole ordeal is the cognitive dissonance by really smart people. Case in point. I have two great friends for the last 35 years, one at M.I.T. the other the head of Surgery at a public Ivy. They couldn’t line up fast enough to get jabbed. Looked at me like I was certifiable for questioning the narrative, though I was the one with a “high risk” heart abnormality.
I chalk it up to having to continue peddling to make sure the bike doesn’t fall over. If these two are any indication, I would say the “learned” have to keep from questioning the narrative for the sake of perpetuating a system they have become symbiotically dependent on. If people in the academic class won’t question it is because they fear subconsciously of killing the host. And there is the prison we have built ourselves into.
It seems as though the ones most immune to the propaganda were entrepreneurs, Freelancers, self-employed, and folks that could easily move latterly in the work force without fear of dead-ending in an institution.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
— Upton Sinclair
My younger brothers fit that description, including one with science degrees from both MIT and Harvard. Another’s an MD who injects people with the vax and believes the whole story, and he’s even voted for Ron Paul. It’s awful to watch. I’m gonna lose them. There’s a kind of smart-person cognitive bias.
EXCERPT:
“High levels of education are perfectly compatible with, if not actually conducive to, certain kinds of blindness. The educated are often snobs who look down on the uneducated not because of their actual behavior, which like anyone else’s behavior may be good or bad, but ex officio, simply because they are uneducated and do not discuss things in the abstract. Hamlet therefore knows that Polonius will be outraged at being mistaken for a fishmonger; but Hamlet also knows that a fishmonger is more likely to be an honest man than a courtier, if for no other reason than that his livelihood is not likely to survive dishonesty, whereas it is actually a requirement of the courtier that, metaphorically, so many of us have become.”
Not smart, only good at memorizing.
Intelligence is far more complex than a number.
I see that often. People who can recite word for word what the text book says, but when asked to explain what the phrases actually mean, they don’t even understand the request and repeat the phrase.
Highly programmed idiots.
Credentialism’s downside is so deep it’s bored thru to China & deployed a vast army of interlocked gain of function engineers to bore back to the future, here, where it left out of in the first place.
The hiher you move up in the educational (indoctrinating) system, the more brainwashed you are.
And the more arrogant about it they become.
I have lost count of the number of times someone with a couple of letters behind their name will claim they are correct, because they have a couple of letters behind their name. Usually about thing outside their field of study.
Some of the dumbest people I have met, had accreditations from a university. It seems that for many higher learning creates a rote recitation machine and destroys the ability to think critically or independently.
Shamrock, those are some good insights.
I must have learned from those hippies carrying those signs saying not to trust the man. or the establishment.
The Amerikan sheeple, normies, and cucks believe the lie because it is fed to them in small doses. It is repeated. When the Reds, The Tribe and their remoras and useful idiots took control of Hollywood in the 1930’s and TV in the 1950’s, the subtle changes in programming/brainwashing became more and more apparent over the years. There once was a magazine called TRUE, a men’s magazine to which my father subscribed. I still remember as a 7th grader in the late ’50’s reading an article about the ridicule of male roles on TV situation comedies. And, we all remember (((Norman Lear))) the producer who later started the leftist “People for the American Way”. That commie tribe member gave us Archie Bunker, played by another leftist actor, Carroll O’Connor.
H. L. Mencken is reputed to have written “…no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” This is where we are: stupid, self-centered, shambling, texting, slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, vaping, brain-dead soulless Mall Zombies. The only fly in the ointment for the Cabal will be the mass die-off of the Vaxxed, if that ever does come to pass. And, even if it does, they will spin it there own way. After all, we’ve always been at war with East Asia. Plan accordingly, my remnant friends. We are in for interesting times. Bleib ubrig.
The only thing that separates reality from fantasy is belief. Unfortunately the average American is now incapable of making that distinction.
There is no such thing as mass formation psychosis. That is another lie cooked up by a so called psychologist. It implies we are victims and have no responsibility for what has happened the past 3 years (100 years). It’s time we all take responsibility for allowing this to happen and do something about it.
People are starting to see the lies. I think it will become more and more obvious over the next year. It’s going to get ugly. Either they win or we do. I don’t believe they have the control they think they do. I think they know it and they are panicking. That makes them more dangerous but also more prone to big mistakes and we can take advantage of that. Sometimes it’s tempting to just give up but that just gives them the win.
Like him or hate him, but Elon just be as much a disruptor as was DJT.
” but Elon just be as much a disruptor as was DJT.”
Definitely. The 2 of them together couldn’t make a Rocket Scientist.
No one is allowed to become a billionare if he’s not in the club. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
Are they truly disrupters, or just distractions, put there to give some hope, where there is in fact, none.
“I don’t believe they have the control they think they do”
Of course they don’t, they simply own all the institutions of society. Like George Carlin used to say, THEY HAVE US BY THE BALLS!
The only other critique I have for the article is about lie detectors. Lie detectors can be defeated easily by sociopaths, and I don’t think it was an accident that so many federal positions require them, considering how many of them are sociopaths.
Absolute brutal honesty with this essay, want to share it with people, but they won’t read anyways.
They are the woefully ignorant you speak of, at some point we should change that to just fucking stupidity.
Great read Admin, another one out of the ball park.
In the West in general and America specifically truth is not a value and telling the truth is not a virtue! We have been conditioned to lie and believe lies. We’re completing a season of lies where we tell children there’s a guy named Santa Claus who comes down chimneys with toys and presents who knows everything about them whether they’ve been naughty or nice etc.
Our government and religious leaders lie to us and we accept it. They say they are for Freedom, Peace and Love yet they galvanize troops to kill and steal in the name of God and democracy! The myths and narratives about this country are mostly false yet we accept them. We become irate if someone dares point out the incongruities of the narratives and myths. So in an environment like this, it makes absolute sense that people believe obvious lies. The lies make the believers look stupid yet they believe them nonetheless. Sadly the overlords ignore the ancient Law of Consequences and to make matters worse they lie about the blowback and fallout of their actions.
We are at a crucial point in the history of this nation. We are at the point of no return from the abyss of empires. Will we see it in enough time, do we have the will to do something about it and what can/will we do to alter the outcome, if anything?
Well stated, and that ain’t no malarky.
“Truth”?
There was no Cherry Tree.
Mind over chair… I ain’t sittin’ and I don’t care.
We are at a crucial point in the history of the WORLD!
This whole world is built on a foundation of lies that is thousands of years old.
You have never known truth.
100%
2000 years….
More than that…
pour one out for some of the real (big) ones we’ve lost this year
In Mammoriam – 2022
Those are the things that make the world go ’round.
Their roundness makes the world go hard.
Anybody know the title of the piano piece as background music,
and who the composer is in the In Mammoriam-2022 video?
It’s hauntingly good, IMHO.
C’mon! Would GOD make a titty so big it could stop the Earth’s rotation? Yeah, He could…and wouldn’t that be a great way to go?!
One thing never mentioned before the Bat Soup Virus is that prior to that other fake virus called the Spanish Flu all great plagues throughout history prior to allopathic Rockefeller medicine were bacterial. The virus as a pathogen seems to have made its world debut right after the breakup of the Standard Oil Trust and Rockefeller’s determination to take over the healthcare industry.
Hate to ruin your rant, by pointing out an obvious fact, but the common cold and flu have always been coronaviruses……..
No viruses Jdog…
Hate to ruin yours, but it shows your lack of research on the matter. Educate yourself about Terrain vs false germ theory of disease. Viruses have never been scientifically proven to exist. It’s all a con courtesy of your overlords. Colds and flu are the result of your body getting rid of toxic matter. That’s why you get all that mucus, and all the other symptoms, including the loss of taste and smell. It happens for a reason, your body doesn’t want you to eat while it’s going through the detox process. It needs to concentrate all its energy cleaning house. It’s as simple as that, but the corrupt for profit pharma/medical mafia doesn’t want you to know that. That is why they blame it on a ficticious bug, so they can sell you all their poisonous drugs and vaccines.
“Viruses have never been scientifically proven to exist.”
Au contraire. But they call them mitochondria.
Now we are entering flat earth territory. Where exactly did you study medical science? So the human body developed the immune system to fight viruses that do not exist…… Right… I suppose you do not believe in bacteria either?
Absolutely!
Spot on “administrator” . I may be biased because it sounds like you are channeling my posts, but you nailed it.
No better testimony of the blind worship of absurd lies by all USA Sheeple (regardless of party) is found than the 3.7% unemployment figure spouted by CIA mouthpieces on FOX CNBC etc. So, 100 million working age people (roughly one-third of the entire US population) are not employed, yet all but 3% of them are not counted as unemployed. These people are removed from existence as an accounting gimmick. How many daddy’s trust fund millionaires do the idiot Sheeple think exist? Answer: as many as they are told on TV.
I always ask people who believe that shit (i.e. everyone I meet) “3.7% of WHAT?” They always reply “3.7 % of the labor force”. I tell them: “if the number of unemployed people is 3.7% of the labor force, our population would have to be bigger than China and India combined. Even US BLS data posted on their website admits unemployment is more than two times that bullshit reported number of 3.7% in a category called U6 ( U1 is the number they get talking heads to parrot and it is simply the number of unemployed people the government chooses to count). And the government Birth-Death computer model makes up ‘New jobs” that do not exist and adds them to the list. The month before the election this bullshit model ‘created’ over 1 MILLION non-existent jobs. Now that the election is over and the lies have been swallowed forever the numbers have been quietly revised but the fraud went unnoticed.”
And without exception, they smirk and chant a mob slogan like “you are a conspiracy theorist” or “you just hate ‘capitalism” (referring our Nazi government-sponsored free-market-hating monopoly system masquerading as ‘capitalism’) or they essentially say “the authorities on TV are richer than you are, so, they are right and good and you are wrong and bad.”
The lesson is clear: NOTHING will EVER get FOX/CNN idiots to stop swallowing such lies as God’s word.
Your post is a sound antidote to the clowns like Hardscrabble who mused (in his reply to yesterdays post) that ignoring and hiding from harsh reality and evil will make it go away, and that a “so what, I don’t care” attitude will inoculate us from the 4th Turning evil that is already flooding over us all. (he added a bizarre blurb that if millions or billions die from what we all know is coming, yet ‘Mother Earth’ survives, then its all cool, no problem). What an assh*le.
Several useful idiots swallowing Hardscrabble’s yoga babble as wisdom called it the epitome of “optimism.” LOL
Sure, if your defeatist and suicidally delusional definition of “optimism” is refusing to notice harsh truth or do anything about it.
You took the correct path toward finding a bit of ‘optimism’ in this 4th Turning apocalyptic era that we are stuck in whether we face it of not.
You acknowledged the fact that the Idiot Sheeple 99 percenters are too fat, lazy, dumbed-down-to-zero, morally degenerate, and adoringly snake-fascinated with their evil CIA TV and deep state corporate masters, to EVER oppose or even disagree with the world-destroying agenda they are spoon-fed. a ‘Thelma and Louise’ 60 mph run off the death cliff is the ONLY result they will ever allow. So that is what we will get.
But your tidbit of optimism in your first Tolkien quote was appropriate. We are all dealt this shitty hand in this crash-and-burn era and we have to play it as best we can even though we know that it is certain to cause us pain.
That is the best we can get from this era whether we like it or not.
Your 2nd quote of Tolkien about how this evil clusterf*ck will somehow make “love” grow and will preserve “much that is fair” is the kind of ” lipstick-on-a-pig” happy lie that is best avoided.
Because deep down we all know what is engulfing us (even the Sheeple in denial) and ‘love ‘ and ‘fairness’ has absolutely nothing to do with it.
” clowns like Hardscrabble “?
Excellent writer/posts over time. Looked up a lot of new-to-me words; acronyms. Grateful. ‘Bucolic’ & ‘Sylvan’, along with ‘pastoral’ of course, (Think he was considering making Bio-Diesel outta pig renderings. May have missed that segment?) spring to mind. Gives people reason to hope, Dream that they can achieve same. Can’t really remember, been reading his stuff for years.
Think he came from ‘Corporate’ World in some fashion, No/limited knowledge of what he was getting into at the time. i Could be in error.
Parallels http://twoicefloes.com/ IMHO, lots of great stuff there as well. Extant, but dated. ‘New’ post from Jan. last.
Your writing? Going out on the proverbial limb, but ‘sounds’ like You came up in the ‘real world’ of hard work and comparatively low pay. Can Relate if this is the case. Ways around ANYTHING.
Whatever IS coming? Gonna take all everyone has. NO MAN is an Island in the overall scheme of ‘things’. Even Hercules had to get help cauterizing the stumps of the Hydra. Lull in the storm, just like this ‘unseasonably’ warm spell…67°F today…Christmas Eve here? -10°F
My Wife is the brains of the operation. She just showed me a fakebook post from her ‘neighbor’ friend:
“Look at this weather being all Springy and Cute, like it just didn’t try to KILL Us last week”
More. Worse. Inbound. Across the board.
CrashDavis:
When I read a comment like yours, I find it hard to believe that any human could really be so fucking stupid. It must really suck to be you.
“I find it hard to believe that any human could really be so fucking stupid.”
“Believe nothing you hear, half of what you read, and some of what you see.”
AI, AI, Cap’n!
I hope you get 50 downs for calling Hardscrabble a “clown”.
Hey, I have an idea …. go suck a Diseased Donkey Dick … and then fuckoff!
At eight years old, I determined that ads on TV were probably bs.
At sixteen, I watched in real time as Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald, and I thought it couldn’t be a coincidence.
On 911 I watched Building 7 collapse into a perfect square pancake “because of a small fire” and I knew that could not be true.
Just from curiosity, I did research on the Covid vaccine even before Trump had initiated Operation Warp Speed, and determined I would never take an experimental therapy.
These days, I think more highly of a Russian – Russian mind. you! – President than an American one.
I think people who possess some sort of operational intuition about the way the world really works make up the anti-mass minority. We are extremely agitated right now because the masses seem incapable of recognizing reality even though it is killing them.
This includes a lot of people we love, and this really hurts.
I may make an exception and vote again, just so I can write in “Vladimir” in ’24.
Or Orban. Or Rittenhouse. Or Le Pen.
Or Ron Paul.
Or 10th Amendment.

― Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
“In reading The History of Nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities, their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.”
― Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
“Let us not, in the pride of our superior knowledge, turn with contempt from the follies of our predecessors. The study of the errors into which great minds have fallen in the pursuit of truth can never be uninstructive. As the man looks back to the days of his childhood and his youth, and recalls to his mind the strange notions and false opinions that swayed his actions at the time, that he may wonder at them; so should society, for its edification, look back to the opinions which governed ages that fled.”

Great article, Admin. The America of our youth, the dream she once was, has been sold for 30 pieces of silver. I have no faith that those who are not already on board with this article can be woken from their zombification.
Thanks to all here on TBP who’s eyes are open.
As always, I love the writing as it’s right on point. As stated by some here I wish I could send it to others that need a wake up call, but alas, none that really need it would bother to read it.
In any case, keep writing and posting because the articles are much appreciated and well written. Who knows, maybe you can break through and reach a few more with each piece.
Absolutely brilliant Sir Admin.
Our condition seems only to be able to have a dramatic change by crashing and burning.
Our leaders are hopeless grifters with no skills except picking up their government checks for being todies.
It is indeed a classic “Tragic Comic Opera”.
Day after day Fauci stood behind Trump at the ‘Covid daily briefing’ knowing full-well that he had financed the gain of function research at the Wuhan lab.. with our tax dollars. Tells all , you need to know about him.
Orwell and Huxley were optimists.
Huxley was a psychonaut. Visine gets the red out & lysergic acid gets the blue out.
In 2023 America will try to kill Putin.
Not sure we will make it to 2024.
THE END (of my 2023 predictions).
Waiting for Lindsey to channel his thoughts to the Oval Office.
Hmmmmm…look at that. He had one more in him.
What if masks work just like washing your hands and good nutrition
Adequate sleep without a study how would we know…
Bullet proof vests don’t stop every threat or protect everywhere but they sure do improve your odds if shot…just like real medical grade or better masks when property worn….don’t believe it then just try a trip into the gas chamber with and without one.
So now we’re talking about real masks designed for cbn protection
For short duration exposure and proper protection everywhere else
Followed by effective decontamination
Yup masks work now
Having been trained with ppe, and respirators in poison gas environments, I can tell you medical masks and cloth masks are completely worthless. If you want to test it yourself, build a small fire, put on a mask and stick your face in the smoke and see what you smell. Smoke particles are 25 times the size of a virus.
Admin, can you tell your ad sponsor to take a break from the giant penis picture? I mean, I’m a nurse, I just ignore it (I know, I could use an ad-blocker but doesn’t that change the revenue from the advertisers?), but I used to send links from this page to like-minded (and some only marginally like-minded). Now there’s a giant penis on every article. Let me be clear, if I have EVER clicked a penis picture on the internet, it was accidental. This cannot be just me, there’s no reason in my browsing history. I would never send a link that might open a giant penis picture.
I believe his name is “BL”.
Look closer it’s not what you think it is
“not what you think it is”
She might be suffering from a Freudian Sight?
Seems like this whole thing is going to resolve itself in fairly short order. The war in Ukraine is probably the catalyst that will lead to the climax of the Fourth Turning. A USA/NATO loss there (as seems inevitable) will bring about the end of NATO, the end of US hegemony, the end of the US petrodollar, the end of US militarism and a likely depression in the USA and Europe.
By eliminating the USA Bully Boy Military presence all around the globe, the world may become a more “equitable” and ultimately, a more safe place. Domestically, there is nothing like a full blown depression to knock some sense into the American people. I fear it will take nothing less.
What would things look like after this? Pretty good.
The US Military budget would be reduced by 75%. No more US bases all over the world. Why do we have those anyway? Who does it benefit? No more endless war. The US would still be a strong country, but just one among many. No more pushing everybody around and dictating terms.
Within the US? No more open borders. No more “drag queens”. No more stolen elections. No more Deep State. The American people will have NO patience for any of that bullshit, nor will they have any patience with the people who lost the Ukraine War and put us into a Depression. It will be the END of Woke-ism. The END of the Democratic Party. The END of RINO’s. They will be blamed for the economic, social and military disasters, and rightfully so. They will be treated like Herbert Hoover, Jefferson Davis or Benedict Arnold.
Who wins? The American people and people all over the world. Who loses? The Elites. They will be seen to have caused all the problems. They will be ridiculed and hated around the world. After this gets resolved, we will move onto a new High, but maybe this time better than any new High that we ever had before. I hope so anyway!
Don’t hold your breath
” Who loses? The Elites. ”
A New Variant! Of a former 7up® slogan.
NEVER Happened NEVER Will. Until…Of Course.
Wonderful article. I’m sure it took many hours to research and write. Greatly appreciated.
Worlds are colliding!!
Everything they tell you is a lie, except for that wartime fable that will get you fired or thrown in jail for questioning. Nope, they are totally honest about that one.
just remember that the huxley brothers were all for govt control.
“It’s not a lie if you believe it”-isn’t that the first thing taught in Rabbinical School?
If you try to point out the lies you will be attacked by the believers of the lies. You can lay it all out, step by logical, historically provable, even video taped obvious lies and they will refuse to see. And then you’re a racist.
