“We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy our economy ” – Chris Hedges
The question you might ask these days: how did we weaponize everything in American life against ourselves? Can you name an institution that is not at war with the people of this land? The exact mechanisms for all that bad faith stand in plain sight these days, and persons responsible can be easily identified. What’s missing are discernable motives. For now, it just looks like the greatest collective act of ass-covering in history.
It’s pretty clear, for instance, that all the criminal misconduct in the FBI / DOJ — continuing to this moment — emanates from the years-long effort to cover up the seditious campaign to nullify Donald Trump starting well before Nov. 8, 2016. All the players in the agencies, and their news media accomplices, stand to lose at least their reputations, if the public cared about how dishonestly they acted. Many of those still working would lose their jobs and their livelihoods too, and quite a few would lose their freedom in prison. So, their motive to keep up the skullduggery is simple self-preservation.
The Covid-19 pandemic looks like a pretty large-scale racketeering operation gone awry with plenty to hide. You have the reckless, symbiotic relations between the US public health bureaucracy and the pharmaceutical companies, and tons of money at stake, plus the colossal ego of hapless Dr. Anthony Fauci wishing to pose as an historic world-saver, another Louis Pasteur or Alexander Fleming. And then you have the amazingly foolish act of imposing an untested, dangerous “vaccine” on the world, and years of lying and covering-up the repercussions of injury and death from it. And then the opaque and nefarious roles of other actors in the story ranging from the CCP to the WEF to the Bill Gates and George Soros empires of money in what looks a genocide.
It’s harder to unpack the enigma of the obviously unfit “Joe Biden” getting installed in the White House. My guess: the Obama claque behind him knew that “JB” was easily manipulable, and that his lame rivals, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, Liz Warren, and especially the proud socialist Bernie Sanders, could not be counted on to do exactly what they were told. The Obama claque especially needed a president to appoint agency heads who would cover-up its creation of an Intel Community Frankenstein, and all that monster has inflicted on the American public.
Of course, the main device the claque had for pulling “Joe Biden’s” strings was the flagrant record of his many years of bribery and treason. The major effort to cover-up all that was the DOJ and FBI’s suppression since 2019 of the Hunter Biden laptop, and the most stunning upshot was that the incendiary evidence of bribery and treason came out anyway, because so many copies of the laptop’s hard-drive got distributed. And absolutely nothing was ever done about it, nor about the actual persons — Christopher Wray, William Barr, and Merrick Garland — who worked to squash it, making themselves accomplices to ongoing bribery and treason.
All this criminal misconduct is connected in a foul matrix of lawbreaking. The fact-patterns are well-established. Dozens of excellent books have catalogued the misdeed of RussiaGate and scores of websites daily dissect the shady intrigues around the “vaccine” crusade. The infamies of gross election interference have been systematically laid-out in the Twitter Files of the past two months. Many books, published essays, and videos substantiate the reality of massive ballot fraud in 2020 and 2022, including the felonious role of Mark Zuckerberg’s front org, the Center for Tech and Civic Life, and the election law manipulations or Lawfare goblin Marc Elias.
There’s an understandable wish that upcoming hearings in Congress will lead to a reckoning for all of this. To banish consequence from public life, as we have done, is a pretty grave insult to nature, but who can tell whether accountability might restore our institutions at this point. We may be too far gone. The US is visibly collapsing now: our economy, our financial arrangements, our culture, our influence in world affairs, and our basic consensus about reality. We’re entering a phase of disorder and hardship that is likely to moot the further depredations of a government at war with its people. For one thing, it’s becoming impossible to pretend that this vicious leviathan has the money to carry on because the money is only pretending to be money.
It’s no wonder that the collective ability for sense-making has failed. It will be quickly restored by each of us in the scramble to survive these disorders and hardships. The bewildering hypotheticals of recent years begin to dissolve like mist on the mountain and things come back into focus: your health, your daily bread, your shelter, your associations with other people close to you, your values, and most of all the power of your own choices. Nature, much insulted and maligned, will sort out the rest.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Isaiah 5:20 KJB… “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
God speaking to Israel, but y’all get the gist.
Well done, gcp
& thank you
It’s not rocket science.
Out leaders/representatives hate us, want us dead and fighting each other. They get off on our suffering and use it to accumulate more power to make our lives hell.
Here’s hoping they get some on them, if only by accident.
They?
Yes. The wise and noble, “duly elected”…they.
They being who they are and all…….

Best movie EVER!
Mass compliance is the only thing keeping all of this from ending – TODAY. Not in some fantasy of someday. Doing the same thing gets the same result. Voting, even it weren’t the now-obvious scam it is, would still only reelect state power. Humanity needs to grow up and stop believing in a nanny/daddy state., which will never ever be in the hands of the masses, but only act as an amplifier for those who seek to rule.
EXCERPT:
The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude* is lucidly and coherently structured around a single axiom, a single percipient insight into the nature not only of tyranny, but implicitly of the State apparatus itself. Many medieval writers had attacked tyranny, but La Boétie delves especially deeply into its nature, and into the nature of State rule itself. This fundamental insight was that every tyranny must necessarily be grounded upon general popular acceptance. In short, the bulk of the people themselves, for whatever reason, acquiesce in their own subjection. If this were not the case, no tyranny, indeed no governmental rule, could long endure. Hence, a government does not have to be popularly elected to enjoy general public support; for general public support is in the very nature of all governments that endure, including the most oppressive of tyrannies. The tyrant is but one person, and could scarcely command the obedience of another person, much less of an entire country, if most of the subjects did not grant their obedience by their own consent.

We simply are our own jailers – and our only potential saviors. Withdraw consent and especially collaboration. We still could do it, and it would be the most delicious victory. Humanity has barely made it into kindergarten.
Fight. Resist. Resistance is not futile; it’s essential.
Light a single candle; a kernel of faith moves mountains.
Oh, and, uh, James 2:17.
Thumbs up on all but James. Unless of course you are a member of one of the scattered tribes. Then, rock on in the midst of these last days.
LOL, sorry GCP, but that made me laugh. viz. Rock on bruh.
Stop being a heretic.
Start reading the Bible.
First people have to give up the idea that their GOD- whichever one- is going to be their savior. No ones coming to save you. Your work is to learn your lessons as they come to you and grow up. You will never grow up if you are relying on your God or government to do your work for you. Waiting around for the second coming is for LOSERS.
Only the saved “win”
Part of maturation is accepting God. I don’t see too many Peter Pan’s among the faithful.
One must take a look at who are the real (((destroyers))). Who took over the medical field, education, can’t deny judicial and police are controlled by the cabalist Freemasons .
The destroyers have made the money worthless and taken over the highest positions of our government. only 1.5% of our population has destroyed us from within……. AND WE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.
Our destroyers are ourselves, en masse, by compliance. No small group may ever rule without mass acceptance and collaboration. This (((they))) you endlessly refer to our actually (((we))) – every time, every place, in history.
How did a few Bolsheviks, for only one example, take over the mighty Russians? Continued insistence on some mythically magic power that holds us down actually perpetuates it. It is merely arithmetically factual that a few can never rule multitudes unless the many accept their allegedly unalterable fate.
This will be pointlessly downvoted by the mentally weak and intellectually lazy, and their source of whining like children or dogs will continue until their outlook changes. And it will be their fault, as well. The target is you and your compliance.
Anon- Did you miss the part where I said….. WE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN?
Bolshie revolutions are fomented by (((guess who)))? The proles need not take part as the rioters will be bussed in, KWIM? You can’t let the weasels slip out of the hen house that easy Anon. But thanks for playing.
Fomented. Not continued nor enforced. The masses enforce their own subjection. Remember Mom saying you don’t have to go along with the bad kids?
If we’re in agreement, thank you, BL. There’s too much of repeated easy ((( ))) nonsense. All TPTB need to do to shut down argument is to point out the triple parentheses crew and call for even more lockdown of speech.
Exodus 23:2
P.S.: I upvoted you.
Ya know….. once the Bolshies burn it down and you lose your land/home and they take everything AND there is a gun against your head….. it’s hard not to comply, right???
((())) would not be necessary if there weren’t all these HUGE plagues on humanity. Do you seriously ask us to just look the other way and forget? I’m not saying that would be dumb, but that would be dumb.
The more ((())) get away with the unthinkable, the more it will happen. ((())) are the Bolshies, EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
((()))Those who say they are Jews but are not.
The comment and the first link is from Fleabags not too long before he went home, the second two links I had saved, and have posted before, but they fit with his post.
Fleabags said:
“As long as they can keep the myth going that they are even The Chosen jews they will continue to own us. Jews were told they are jews to keep them on the Rez. Jew and Neo Hebrew are both constructs made of whole cloth.
The leaders are Satanic/Human Hybrids but those next door are just everyday pushy, obnoxious, greedy, conniving, sneaky, tricky, Khazars and South Eastern Ukie Japethites and mongrel Turkics pushed into Eastern and Central Europe after a forced mass conversion by Khazari’s King because they were such unsavory people.
They were given 3 religions to pick one and they naturally picked the one based on Babylonian Money Majikk and other voodoo. But they are not Judeans”.

Bolshies (“burning it down”) Soviet repressions of Polish citizens (1939–1946)
Katyn Massacre
Machinist- Yeah, but after the stench of the bodies is gone, don’t forget to FORGIVE the bastards.
My Mom said the same. She has been gone for almost 60 years and I still miss her. She was right.
We are ruled by foreigners…that never works out, because it’s a master-slave relationship…
BL
1.5% really, 90% of the people I know are milking the same system, the people are destroying themselves for the love of money
%Fraud- I refer to the 1.5% jooish portion of our population. Can’t overlook the help they received from Israel and other countries. I’m not sure what what your point actually might be, you believe the proles lined up to get the deadly clot shots for the love of money?
The proles did line up for every other other government -the last 100 and some years especially.
Hey, it’s free, ain’t it?
It really got bad after the FED was created- “bad money drives out good”. Now everything is corrupt.
The opening quote from Chris Hedges is startlingly profound. In a single sentence, he captures the extent of this nation’s financial, civic, moral, and spiritual decline. It also assuages my guilt for rooting against the U S military. Sorry, Dad but you raised me to be moral and steadfastly righteous.
If the military were purely defensive, deployed minimally, only to our borders and ports, funded just enough, not a profit center, who among us would not support it? Who would find any reason to even notice it, otherwise? The worst parts of it are glorified by Hollywood and every restaurant and sporting event.
The garish displays of killing machines doing a flyover before sporting events are sickening.
@ CCR:
Absolutely. They are seducing young teen men into service.
.
Hedges makes one wonder what if left for us to believe in.
Believe the Gospel: — 1st Corinthians, Chapter 15, Verses 1 through 4.
The last paragraph. This is the way.
And yet the convergence of all institutions toward our demise or enslavement rages on while we still have to answer to clown world economics and inherent problems of scale and trade. I’ve yet to thread that needle. Not everyone can transition to subsistence frontier agrarian. We still need community.
Recently I all but abandoned any proselytizing a different way of living that reflects the sentiment above to my already tiny segment of relationships that have managed to span half the great divide by embracing the state of noticing.
But in terms of action and planning they are intractable from their addictions to modernity, sunk costs of acquiring social status, and general fiat currencies of these very same institutions. Much of this then returns to dorm room philosophizing and political surrender known as conservativism. Normalcy bias fails to capture the extent of it.
I hate you; I will never leave you. Nature’s arbiter will sort this out, but my own greed has me hoping there is still a way to cobble some community together in advance of whatever seriousness arrives in the vacuum of imploding empires of lies.
Anyhow. Been interesting to watch Jims evolution.
It did not start with Obama.
I believe however that no man has done more harm to this Country in the 21st Century.
So many people on the list of those who must be dealt with……….
But can we please start with the Magic Kenyan?
If we don’t we might get version 3.0, if we last that long.
It’s not Newsome they want, it’s Michael!
0bama kicked the downward spiral into overdrive and his third term may be the proverbial grass coup.
and she will really show us how to be fucked.
No doubt we have a very powerful global force intent on restructuring the world into a dystopian nightmare. They are incredibly wealthy, have the power centers (media, legal, govt agencies) aligned with them and against us.
One of our few options is to awaken the citizens and create a ground swell of opposition to these MFers.
As keyboard warriors we usually go about trying to change minds with the wrong approach. Here is an article that suggests a better approach in dealing with friends, family and others in changing minds.
I looked at their site. They still believe‘organization’ is a good way to go about things. I think they are prepping for a ‘revolution’, which is what they want (never works)big rallies etc. (you know I remember rallies with millions in South America which don’t really work just delay).
Homesteaders have a better plan, but seem to equally naive overall (at least young ones).
. Having said that they are either plants or naive.
Great article, if money is the root of all evil…then the Khazarian Bankers are the obvious targets.
“Khazarian Bankers” BULLSEYE!
The Jews weaponized it all against the goyim.

“What’s missing are discernable motives.”
If you discount power and hatred as motives.
Would owning ALL the wealth and ALL the assets and land in the world with a remnant of humanity as slaves be a motive? Asking for a friend.
Absolutely right,BL.My friend.
That is the ultimate objective for those Evil Fuckers, B.
Umm, I think that is already the case. They want something more though….
The fact is Much of America is now poor with no prospect of acquiring assets. Your fellow man is dependent on government and wants more taken from you. They are probably just smart enough to figure they’ll need half of what they actually need to retire but after that they are too dumb. Too dumb to realize that taxing and regulating is going to lead to massive shortages of the things they take for granted.
This is why the system must crash and burn. From the rubble , a mass migration south will ensue . It’s just too cold for poor people to live under tin roofs as they do in the Bahamas.
Oh, the system will crash and burn alright. The folks with 95% of all the wealth got there by crashing and burning what USED TO BELONG to the proles. After the crash and burn , it is all rebuilt and sold back to the children/grandchildren of the folks who USED to own what they bought. Funny how elites with all the money are spared the process and are allowed to pass their wealth/assets down to future generations. It’s a hard knock life for us, starting over and over again while they keep the cushy life GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.
Bloodlines matter in all ways BL.
Pastor Arnold Murray described the 4 Hidden Dynasties years ago. Education,Government,Business&Finance and Religion. Those are the tools used by the anti-Christ to rule the world. They have been captured by him. We are in the end times. Keep the faith trust Jesus.
Lot of demon possessed people running around here. Nebulize with H2O2 and never get another virus of any kind.
hoss,
Going to add Nebulizing to my home pharmacy…are you experienced at it?
What do you think of this?

Let’s see, a massive pandemic hoax initiated to scare folks into thinking there are “deadly viruses” and that we are all infectious, biological weapons and need to stay “six feet” away from another and block our airways and breath in unrecycled C02 instead. Contagion is a myth and “THEY” (The Hierarchy Enslaving You) know this. “Germ theory” has always been a LIE turned into a dangerous SCAM on our health– a pyramid scheme.
“THEIR” media outlets showcase hundreds of movies depicting the same message—we are contagious. What a profitable LIE that warrants control, wealth, and power. Health is the greatest wealth and “THEY” know this. This is a great spiritual war my brother’s and sister’s. Your mind, body, and soul is fertile ground, because so many of us have been purposefully disconnected from our Spirit/ Truth via the use of all their many poisons cloaked as “life saving treatments/medicine.” Even the air, food, water and what we are blasted with on the screens/ tel-lie-vision is POISON meant to control and gear our perceptions away from our True origins/ Truth.
There’s a new pandemic just round the corner just about the time the numb accepts the new normal.
There will be a reckoning how soon and from what situations or chain of events will set it in motion is difficult to say !
Many believe GOD will sound the trumpet maybe ? I think GOD is paying close attention but will sit on the sidelines awaiting people of faith and moral honor and integrity to step up and act fearlessly and with great resolve !
The demonic forces that have lead us to this edge of societal collapse and economic implosion will be held to account but first people of faith pray for the strength and wisdom to know when to act !
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
It would seem that the opening of the Fifth Seal requires it.
Rev 6:9-11
We got what we settled for.
With the degradation of the currency the average family is preoccupied trying to manage increasing costs.. Americans especially have been suckered into using borrowed money with the attendant increasing costs and loss of wealth. This makes their subjugation simple for an earlier generation of wealthy, scheming families of criminals who have installed themselves and their sycophants into government at every level.. I’d say we are collapsing with no recourse.
Sobering words, Jim.
I desperately want to love and support my country as an American Citizen!
Sadly those ELECTED , APPOINTED and HIRED seem to have nothing but hate and contempt for me and are only concerned with what they can tax , fine , swindle from me !
Every action Federal , State and Local Governments appear to have our nation and citizens destruction physically , morally and economically their true desire !
Fuck Chris Hedges
The motive is in fact rather obvious. This is ultimately a class war and an attempt to change the social order into some form of feudalism, while also reducing the white population in the process.
Observer- Those Chinks falling over in droves and kicking their legs in a fit AS THEY DIE (like bugs sprayed with RAID poison) don’t look too damn white to me.
That was all fake and gay to scare the proles.
It took me a while to be able to put my finger on it, but now:
Chris Hedges followed his usual leftist, religion-hating principles.
As he should have written ‘philosophy destroys morals‘, but chose to single-out religion.
Time to repeat it again: Donald J. Trump was the despised outsider whose most notable claim to fame was showing how corrupt governments are. For that we owe him our gratitude. Unfortunately, the now overt in-your-face arrogance uncovered in government was to mastacize almost overnight in many other organizations that likewise don’t give a shit about anything but themselves.
