“I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either. … Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation.” – John Adams
“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” – John Adams
I have bookshelves filled with books I haven’t read yet. I’m a collector of books who doesn’t have much time to read but plans to spend my waning years catching up on all the reading I’ve been unable to do while working, blogging, and raising a family. Still, I always have one or two books on my nightstand being read in fits and starts. After finishing a Grisham novel, I sought another book to occupy my time from my living room bookshelf. I grabbed Rise to Rebellion, a Jeff Shaara historical novel I had purchased at a used bookstore in Wildwood, NJ many years ago.
I don’t know why I chose that book from the dozens of options on the bookshelf, but it seems to have been a wise choice given the current state of affairs in the world. I always find the wisdom and courage of our founding fathers to be a beacon of light in the darkness slowly engulfing the world as we approach the denouement of this Fourth Turning, the fourth, and hopefully not last, in U.S. history. Probably without knowing it, most of Shaara’s historical novels revolved around events during the first three Fourth Turnings.
It started with his father Michael Shaara’s brilliant 1973 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Killer Angels, and Jeff’s bookend novels Gods and Generals (1996) and The Last Full Measure (1998) to complete the trilogy. They captured the essence of the Civil War Fourth Turning. Then he captured the spirit of the American Revolution Fourth Turning with Rise to Rebellion and The Glorious Cause. And then he attacked the World War II Fourth Turning with his four-part series: The Rising Tide, The Steel Wave, No Less Than Victory, and The Final Storm. The novels documenting the glorious victories, tragic losses, heroes, and villains of this Fourth Turning are yet to be written. What will be written depends upon the actions we take or don’t take during the remaining five or so years of this period of Crisis.
You never know how or when your words or actions will have an impact, but if you remain resolute and true to yourself, maybe even after death your words can provide inspiration for future generations. Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels was rejected by 15 publishers, received mixed reviews, and even after winning a Pulitzer Prize was still a commercial failure. He died in 1988, a broken man, dismayed his novel never received the notice it deserved.
Five years after his death his book was adapted into the epic film Gettysburg, and his novel was propelled to number one on the NYT bestsellers list, 19 years after its publication. Jeff had been a coin dealer, but after the success of the movie and novel he was approached to continue the story, his father had started, despite no background in writing. He took up the challenge and has had a prodigious career bringing history to life for millions of readers. You never know when life will offer opportunity or thrust you into a cataclysm.
What struck me as I read Rise to Rebellion, capturing the time period from the Boston Massacre in 1770 to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, told through the eyes of John Adams, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and British General Thomas Gage, was the extremely long odds of farmers, merchants, shop owners and tradesmen successfully defeating the greatest empire in history and their professional army. The chances of these undisciplined, underfunded, under armed militiamen, led by George Washington and a few professional officers, of winning their independence from an imperial empire and an army and navy unmatched on earth was virtually nil.
It’s the kind of perspective valuable at this juncture of a Fourth Turning, rapidly accelerating towards conflict against a seemingly invincible arrogant Deep State imperial empire. The odds are heavily against those who have refused to knuckle under during the covid scam and continue to oppose the government’s efforts to disarm us and destroy the moral fabric of the nation.
From their writings and correspondence at the time, utilized by Shaara in his novel, you realize Adams, Franklin, and Washington were all reluctant revolutionaries. Firebrands like Sam Adams and Patrick Henry had no doubts about going to war. Adams and Franklin did everything in their power to defuse the brewing conflict over many years. Adams even defended the British soldiers accused of murder during the Boston Massacre and got them acquitted by an American jury. Franklin spent years in London trying to negotiate on behalf of the colonies, while constantly being ridiculed, scorned, and humiliated by arrogant parliamentarians and an ego-maniacal king.
When chosen to lead the Continental Army, Washington was hesitant to accept the position. He didn’t believe the martial skills he gained during the French & Indian War were sufficient to lead a ragtag army of militia misfits against the greatest military on earth. These men did not conclude a military revolution was necessary to end the British tyranny lightly. After much soul searching and angst, they realized there was no choice. They had been pushed far enough and it was time to push back. They also knew if they failed, they would hang.
In 1770, Franklin was 64 years old, suffering from gout and bladder stones. With life expectancies of less than 40 years in those days, he had far outlived most, while accomplishing more as a scientist, writer, publisher, and statesman than almost anyone in history. He had every right to just live out his remaining years in peace and tranquility. But instead, he risked it all on helping birth a new nation, using all his wisdom, guile, and political acumen to help guide the younger revolutionaries Adams, Jefferson, Washington, among others.
He was 70 in 1776 when he signed the Declaration of Independence and died in 1790, shortly after the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1789. He spent his twilight years working tirelessly to birth this Republic. As I and many others enter our 60s, it feels like it is too late for us to make a difference in helping change the course of our troubled nation. But Franklin should be an inspiration to all real patriots fighting impossible odds to try and defeat an arrogant brutal regime bent on crushing those who believe in freedom, liberty, personal responsibility, and a Constitution written in the blood of patriots 250 years ago.
When narrow minded linear thinkers scoff at the notion of the common people rising up and taking down a corrupt, evil, traitorous government, which no longer works in the best interest of the people, but for their own enrichment, I must anchor my thinking in the cyclical nature of history and inevitability of the existing social order being swept away in a river of blood during Fourth Turnings. The acolytes of the regime in political offices, government bureaucracy blood suckers, the media propaganda outlets, the woke military, and corporate boardrooms scoff at the thought of losing their wealth and power.
They control the narrative. They control the technology. They control the government. They control the media. They have superior firepower in the hands of their police and military mercenaries. Their hubris knows no bounds. Their comprehension of history and human nature is non-existent as their sociopath desires overwhelm their ability to think critically and see what lies ahead.
No matter how far advanced the world has become technologically over the last 250 years, one thing never changes – human nature. Technological progress has certainly made it easier to kill each other today than during the American Revolution. “Smart” phones, the internet, and 70-inch HDTVs have made it far easier to amuse and distract ourselves, and effortless for Bernays’ invisible government to control and manipulate the masses through propaganda and psychological exploitation, as proven by the last three years of this fake covid crisis. As Huxley pointed out, technology is just making us go backwards more efficiently.
“Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.” ― Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means
Technology hasn’t made us smarter. Technology hasn’t made us kinder. Technology hasn’t made us less violent. Technology hasn’t made us less likely to kill or wage war. Technology hasn’t made us safer. Mankind is just as prideful, greedy, wrathful, envious, lustful, gluttonous, and slothful as they were in centuries past. Human nature never changes; therefore, we can analyze the actions of King George, Lord Dartmouth, General Gage, and other key characters of the American Revolution Fourth Turning to assess how Biden, Schumer, and Miley will react and over-react to events unfolding during this Fourth Turning.
There are numerous parallels between the political, societal, and military dynamics of the American Revolution Fourth Turning and our present day Fourth Turning, which is accelerating towards its bloody climax, yet to be labeled by future historians – if there are any historians left to write the history.
“Once vigorous measures appear to be the only means left of bringing the Americans to a due submission to the mother country, the colonies will submit.” – King George III
“A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me.” – King George III
The attitude and actions of King George III and his parliamentary aristocracy leading up to and during the rebellion are consistent with the attitudes and actions of our current day monarch – Joe Biden – and the Deep State ruling elite who lord dominion over us lowly peasants. It was duly noted King George battled bouts of mental illness from 1765 until his death in 1820. He lorded over an empire constantly at war in Europe and North America.
His empire was deeply indebted and sought to fill the treasury through taxing its far-flung colonies across the globe, without allowing those colonies representation in Parliament. When faced with resistance and dissension from America, his response was dismissive and threatening. In 1775, after the initial hostilities around Boston, the Continental Congress was still split between war and reconciliation. John Dickinson, the Loyalist delegate from Pennsylvania, wrote the Olive Branch Petition seeking reconciliation with the Crown.
King George’s unequivocal Proclamation For Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition declared war upon the colonists and proclaimed the members of the Continental Congress to be traitors and conspiracists. He left no room for negotiation or compromise. Were these words written by King George, or the arrogant war-mongering toadies in his court who didn’t have to do the marching and dying on battlefields on another continent. The derision and threatening language are eerily reminiscent of another dictator’s speech 247 years later, ironically given bathed in blood red in front of Independence Hall, where the founding fathers had held their rebellious proceedings.
WHEREAS Many of Our Subjects in divers Parts of Our Colonies and Plantations in North America, misled by dangerous and ill-designing Men, and forgetting the Allegiance which they owe to the Power that has protected and sustained them, after various disorderly Acts committed in Disturbance of the Public Peace, to the Obstruction of lawful Commerce, and to the Oppression of Our loyal Subjects carrying on the same, have at length proceeded to an open and avowed Rebellion, by arraying themselves in hostile Manner to withstand the Execution of the Law, and traitoroursly preparing, ordering, and levying War against Us.
AND whereas there is Reason to apprehend that such Rebellion hath been much promoted and encouraged by the traitorous Correspondence, Counsels, and Comfort of divers wicked and desperate Persons within this Realm: To the End therefore, that none of Our Subjects may neglect or violate their Duty through Ignorance thereof, or through any Doubt of the Protection which the Law will afford to their Loyalty and Zeal; We have thought fit, by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council, to issue this Our Royal Proclamation, hereby declaring that not only all Our Officers, Civil and Military, are obliged to exert their utmost Endeavours to suppress such Rebellion, and to bring the Traitors to Justice; but that all Our Subjects of this Realm and the Dominions thereunto belonging are bound by Law to be aiding and assisting in the Suppression of such Rebellion, and to disclose and make known all traitorous Conspiracies and Attempts against Us, Our Crown and Dignity.
AND We do accordingly strictly Charge and Command all Our Officers, as well Civil as Military, and all other Our obedient and loyal Subjects, to use their utmost Endeavours to withstand and suppress such Rebellion, and to disclose and make known all Treasons and traitorous Conspiracies which they shall know to be against Us, Our Crown and Dignity: and for that Purpose, that they transmit to one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, or other proper Officer, due and full Information of all Persons who shall be found carrying on Correspondence wit, or in any Manner or Degree aiding or abetting, the Persons now in open Arms and Rebellion against Our Government within any of Our Colonies and Plantations in North America, in order to bring to condign Punishment the Authors, Perpetrators, and Abettors of such traitorous Designs.
Given at Our Court at St. James‘s, the 23d Day of August, 1775, in the Fifteenth Year of Our Reign.
God Save the King.
The symbolism of Biden making the most divisive presidential speech in history at the most important location in the founding of the United States, Independence Hall, with blood red lighting and soldiers in the background was as clear a declaration of war against half the country as King George’s proclamation in 1775. Biden spewed hatred and vitriol towards the 74 million Trump voters, essentially proclaiming them traitors and insurrectionists. Biden and his handlers, who wrote the satanic verses demagoguery delivered by Biden, clearly were threatening to use the military against their opponents and use any means at their disposal to retain their power.
Their illegal incarceration and persecution of average Americans who sauntered around the Capital taking selfies, instigated by dozens of undercover FBI agents trying to provoke violence, is proof they have declared war. The barrage of frivolous lawsuits and criminal charges against Trump by the Biden regime and their Deep State acolytes is a blatant attempt to use the power of the State against a political opponent.
“MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards — backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.” – King Joe I – September 1, 2022 – Independence Hall bathed in blood
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies – lies told for profit and power.” – King Joe I – September 1, 2022 – Independence Hall bathed in blood
Another quote from Dementia Joe (aka Pedo Pete per Hunter) references Thomas Jefferson saying the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants. It seems Joe knows he is the tyrant in this scenario, as he threatens to use F-15s against his political opponents. Whether we are talking 250 years ago or today, it always comes down to guns.
“I love my right-wing friends who talk about the tree of liberty is water of the blood of patriots. If you need to work on taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15.” – King Joe I – January 17, 2023
Animosity between the Crown and the colonists had been brewing for a decade. The Boston Massacre didn’t start the revolution. The Boston Tea Party didn’t start the revolution. The Intolerable Acts of 1774, which were designed to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party, was the trigger for all that followed. When you treat human beings like dogs, beating them, starving them, and caging them, you better be prepared for them to bite back. John Adams realized the time to act was upon them.
“So instead, you will punish us by reducing us to non-citizens. If there was an argument before about which rights, which privileges we expect to be granted, there is no argument now, no discussion about vague principles. We will have soldiers in our homes; our town, cut off from her source of survival, is plainly under siege.” – John Adams – Rise to Rebellion
It wasn’t until Gage sent his men on a mission to Lexington and Concord to confiscate the guns and ammunition of the colonial militias, the revolution began in earnest. Gun confiscation is always the final straw, which pushes peaceful non-confrontational common men to justified violence, aggressive defense of their liberties, and unrestrained retribution against their enemies. The farmers, merchants and tradesmen, warned of the coming attack by Dawes and Revere, rallied and stood their ground at Concord, and then using guerilla tactics picked off dozens of British regulars during their retreat, inflicting three times as many casualties as incurred. In retaliation the panicked British soldiers burned the homes of non-combatants and killed innocent women and children.
The arrogance of General Gage was again borne out at the Battle of Bunker Hill (most fighting occurring on Breed’s Hill) where his frontal assault resulted in over 1,000 casualties to 450 for the militiamen. If the rebels had not run out of gunpowder, the slaughter would have been worse. The cruel and inhumane burning of Charlestown and Falmouth by the British Navy terminated any possible reconciliation and set in motion a domino effect of events leading to great bloodshed and eventually a humiliating defeat for the British Empire.
Biden and his ruling regime relentlessly threaten and use un-Constitutional means to overturn and render the 2nd Amendment null and void. Every “mass shooting” event is utilized as a means to enact restrictions on the ownership of guns. This despite 90% of mass shootings being committed by young black men against young black men in Democrat run urban shitholes with the strictest gun control laws.
Up until now, those running the show and fearful of the “deplorables” legally owning approximately 400 million firearms, have tried to use regulation, registration, restrictions, and sanctions to restrict the Second Amendment. They have essentially declared half the country rebels, inflaming emotions on both sides with their rhetoric, purposeful non-enforcement of the law, witch hunts against opposition leaders, censorship and cancelling of those on the right, illegal executive orders designed to ignite rebellion, and to treat them like sub-humans.
What they have not dared to do yet, is forcefully attempt to confiscate our guns. That would be the bridge too far, just as the British expedition to Lexington and Concord proved to be the action which generated the violent reaction and subsequent Revolutionary War. When Biden and his cohort of authoritarian governors and mayors attempt to use their police state to confiscate guns door to door, the unanticipated violent response will be heard round the world. The confiscators have names, addresses and families, so they may realize treating their neighbors like criminals may lead to dreadful consequences for them and their loved ones.
The truth is the nation has been in a state of rebellion since the election of Trump in 2016. The divisions within the country haven’t been this deep since the Civil War. Biden’s divisive rhetoric and threats to use the military against his opponents clearly reveals his desire for confrontation. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes the country is in rebellion against both parties, while Trump’s words on January 6, 2021, revealed his belief we were already warring tribes.
“I think there’s a rebellion happening in our country now — there’s a populist rebellion — and if we don’t capture that rebellion, for the forces of idealism and the forces of generosity and kindness, somebody else is going to hijack that rebellion for much darker purposes. I don’t think it’s a good idea to say we’re not going to talk to American populists because they’re deplorable. Americans are our brothers and sisters, and we need to listen to them. And their backs are against the wall because of policies that have come from both Republican and Democratic parties.” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr.– May 6, 2023
“Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections, but whether or not they stand strong for our country. Our country has been under siege for a long time, far longer than this four-year period.” – Donald Trump – January 6, 2021
The assault on the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution have been persistent and more strident over the last three years. We have entered the more volatile phase of this Fourth Turning where any spark can ignite the powder-keg of animosities, grudges, and disputes opposing forces have been seething over for years. The unbridled censorship unleashed by government conspiring with social media companies (aka corporate fascism) was the initial step in the regime’s plan to control, monitor, and suppress any truth which contradicts the approved narrative.
The founding fathers knew 232 years ago the dangers of a tyrannical government subduing the people’s right to freedom of expression, leading us down a path to destruction. That’s why they insisted on the Second Amendment as redress in case a tyrannical regime needed to nourish the tree of liberty with their blood.
“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” ― Benjamin Franklin
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” ― George Washington
Once they silence you, they believe they can then disarm you, imprison you in their 15-minute cities, control you by using central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to restrict your purchases and punish you for social credit score violations, turn off your mandated EV at their whim, monitor your every communication, and essentially treat you like a prisoner in their electronic gulag. Jeff Shaara captured the gist of how all tyrannical governments act throughout history, and today is no different.
“a dangerous thing for any state to maintain its power by plugging up the vent of complaints, stifling the voices of the people. When complaining becomes a crime, hope becomes despair. He finished” ― Jeff Shaara, Rise to Rebellion
Frankly, the odds of defeating such a goliath regime, backed by the Deep State, the largest military on earth, local militarized police thugs, billionaire oligarchs, compliant media corporations, the Wall Street cabal and their central banker puppets, and millions of sheep-like government indoctrinated drones, seem impossibly long. But the truth is, the uni-party inhabiting the swamp in Washington D.C. is desperately attempting to retain control as their last act is looting the treasury, foretold by George Washington over 200 years ago.
The true support of the regime is a mile wide and an inch deep. When the current “non-banking crisis” detonates into a full-fledged panic and vaporizes the 401ks of millions of angry citizens who have already been supremely screwed by the massive Federal Reserve/Wall Street created inflation, the simmering pot will be brought to a boil and all hell will break loose.
The repressed anger created by the totalitarian lockdowns and vaccine mandates, which destroyed small businesses and the lives of millions of good middle-class people, is on the verge of exploding in the faces of the regime. A recent comment on my blog perfectly encapsulates the vengeance which will be doled out:
“I did get fired. Specifically for non-compliance with Biden’s XO mandating the vax for all federal workers/contractors. 6 figure salary gone. Employer matched 401k contributions gone. Had to live most of 2022 off of what I had in savings, $80,000 gone. And now every fucking one of their “mandates” has been rescinded and the WHO has declared the pandemic over. White hot seething vengeance fueled rage doesn’t even begin to describe what I (and millions of others) have boiling deep inside us that we for now are somehow still able to conceal behind a smiling face. When the collapse comes, and it will, hanging is not good enough. I want these people and their families fed to packs of wild dogs.” – Anonymous Commenter on TBP blog
“Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. ‘Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.” – Josey Wales
We are now in the fifteenth year of this Fourth Turning, with a resolution likely within the next five or six years – good, bad, or disastrous. The Great Depression/WWII Fourth Turning lasted 17 years, while the American Revolution Fourth Turning took 21 years. It is a certainty violent conflict will drive this Fourth Turning to its gripping unknown climax, with both civil and global conflict playing a major role. The men who were pushed too far by the British in 1775 and pushed back had virtually no chance of victory and they won. Will those of us constituting Hillary’s deplorables, who face equivocally long odds, summon the inner-strength, resolve, fortitude, and courage to support and sustain our fellow modern-day patriots in the coming battles for the heart of the nation?
We certainly aren’t going to vote our way out of this, as both parties are captured and corrupt. We’ve been pushed as far into a corner as we can be pushed. And the time for pushing back approaches. The futures of our children and grandchildren will depend on how we respond during the coming trials and tribulations. It will require tremendous sacrifice and cooperation between all generations to accomplish the task of saving this country from the forces of evil currently in control. Once the sword is drawn there will be no turning back or compromise. An elderly Ben Franklin knew what would happen if they failed. The same would apply today – ask the men kept in a D.C. dungeon for the last two years.
“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” ― Benjamin Franklin
Strauss and Howe provided four possible outcomes to the current Crisis, each more dire than the next. I now believe this outcome is the most likely, unless Biden accidentally pushes the nuclear button, thinking he was just ordering chocolate ice cream with jimmies.
“The Fourth Turning could mark the end of modernity. The Western saecular rhythm – which began in the mid-fifteenth century with the Renaissance – could come to an abrupt terminus. The seventh modern saeculum would be the last. This too could come from total war, terrible but not final. There could be a complete collapse of science, culture, politics, and society. Such a dire result would probably happen only when a dominant nation (like today’s America) lets a Fourth Turning ekpyrosis engulf the planet. But this outcome is well within the reach of foreseeable technology and malevolence.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
Many have already given up their liberties and freedoms for the promise of government safety and welfare payments, but will ultimately realize they aren’t safe, and the promises were hollow and false. The nation is financially and morally bankrupt, and the fall of the American Empire will be the most spectacular in world history. Thomas Paine never fired a shot during the American Revolution, but his Common Sense became the inspiration for others to stand up to tyranny. We all have a part to play in this historic episode in our nation’s history. If not us, then who? As darkness descends upon our land of liberty, it’s time to light a candle and make a stand against evil and tyranny.

Abbot takes his orders from international Jewish bankers, not Texans.
Interesting. Wasn’t it so called “Texans” that reelected Abbott?
hoodwinked – to deceive by false appearance : DUPE
More “Hood”, wait, less “Hood” today May 9.

Practice “Irish Democracy” in everything you do.
Refuse to comply.
Refuse to repeat the lies.
Refuse to let the lies come through you.
Confront the lies directly and refuse to back down.
Don’t feed the evil in any way.
Have a plan to survive the first 30 days when it begins.
90% won’t survive that month.
And then be prepared to do ANYTHING when the widespread violence begins.
A storm is coming and those unprepared for it will perish in an instant.
Finally, pray.
Yes, I’m still hoping for divine intervention, but I agree with Jim Morrison-
https://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/doors/the+soft+parade_20042755.html
Did he write that when he was on acid or heroin?
Maybe both, and he probably liked Bourbon whiskey too.
In any case, I agree with him that you can’t petition the Lord with prayer.
Well I, like George Carlin used to do, pray to the Sun and Joe Pesci.
Let me rephrase that. Actually, worship the sun and pray to Joe Pesci. 😜
Wild Man Morrison
Divine intervention? In other words; I’ll just keep banging away at the keyboard here and wait for someone else to do something.
God intervened on our behalf already.
He sent Christ to deliver us from the power of sin and death, it’s on you now neighbor.
And how many years ago was that supposedly? Has anything changed since? Isn’t everyone still suffering and DYING? To deliver you from death means there has to be no more death, and believers still die like everyone else. You’re just another victim of the great religious psyop to fool the human slaves with promises of life after death. According to the bible, Jesus said that god’s kingdom was to arrive 2,000 years ago. It didn’t, so now through your own efforts you’re going to do it, right? 😃
How’s that working in Ireland? Pray? What has praying ever done for humanity?
Do State Governors get to name military bases?
Did someone say they did?
I guess I was mistaken, but it sounded like you were blaming Abbot for the name change.
NP.
I don’t know your opinion about old monuments and so forth named after Confederates. Me, leave the names intact. Leave them alone.
Ft. Hood is just like public schools in Texas except federal. What is wrong with xxxxxLee High School? Midland Lee comes to mind and it was only this past HS football season I realized the school’s name had changed to Midland Legacy. First I thought a new HS in Midland?
The “spirates” removed the confederate statues and renamed the schools in north Florida as well
What makes someone a real Texan, as opposed to “so Called”?
So called Texans don’t wear the correct brand of boots nor do they continue to place people like John Cornyn in office. For simplicity I’ll define so called as being duped or hoodwinked believing anything the Texas GOP says. I’ve waited quite some time for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to come through with his continual campaign rhetoric to do with property tax. I’ve not seen any alternatives and so called Texans will not see any yet remain duped.
Correction , so called Texans DO continue to place people like John Cornyn in office. Hope that helps.
I think I get it, the only “real” Texans are libertarians, which means there aren’t very many “real” Texans.
I’m thinking if you imagine that the brand of someones boots makes them a “real” Texan, you are a poser.
LOL. Joking but Charlie Dunn handcrafted boots are probably among the finest of any footwear in the world. Charlie is deceased but last I knew he had made sure he passed the craft on to others I assume are still running the business. Who knows after the covid hoax.
All the most “popular” boot makers in Texas have gone by the wayside long ago with the globalized manufactured boot.
I could not say what a “real” Texan is , only can comment on so called. libertarians, perhaps the ideology but not the LP. They have good ideas about fiscal responsibility, gun toting “rights” , smaller government and so forth but when I realized in 2010 they had fallen in the acceptance trap of alternative lifestyles …goodbye.
I’m SOL I guess because I cannot support any of the commonly recognized political parties, currently four in Texas.
all the real Texans died at the Alamo
For Wideguy, there you go. And when Texas caved to the Union…gone.
Who in turn take orders from the owners.
I’m thoroughly convinced this country and world has run its course as we know it.
AI, and human genetic modification and computer integration of God’s creation is the last straw that will cause Him to personally intervene and bring the whole party crashing down.
God will soon not allow it to continue unabated any longer.
The timing also perfectly fits the 2000 year biblical timetable of the Church of Jesus the Messiah.
For all who think biblical truth and prophecy is fairy tails and foolishness he who mocks most vehemently either understands it the least or is most concerned it is true.
flash, maybe hook up with John Hagee?
lol
Hagee is a Zionist pwnd , rapture tard, Israel first spewing tool.If you were’nt ‘ a total ‘tard you’d already know this. Sorry for you.
Don’t get your panties in a wad. Here……./s
God’s creation? Here we go again. What kind of god is going to allow anyone to mess with his creation? You must be kidding, right? 🥱
Yeah sure, an imaginary god who has never done anything for humanity is going to come rescue you now. As if the USA were the only country in the world, right? If you really knew your bible you would have by now realized that you have been fooled.
Believers will tell you, God gave you life and a place to live it.
Yeah sure, with slavery, all sorts of suffering, death and destruction to go along with it. What a life! Believers are totally blind and full of fear.
Do you seriously want God to take all the evil out of world? I don’t think you’ve thought this one through neighbor.
Fear is but the beginning of wisdom.
Perfect love casts out fear.
The man who fears no God, is a god unto himself, an impotent one at that.
There are no atheists.
Just billions of impotent little gods.
And the few who dare to imitate Christ.
You can still switch sides.
And that’s why all the suffering.
Free will.
Only brainwashed fools who are unable to think for themselves worship an idea, in spite of all the evidence against it.
Imitate Christ? Which one are you referring to, the one promoted by the church, or all the other pagan christs that came before him?
” Yeah sure, an imaginary god who has never done anything for humanity is going to come rescue you now”
Clearly, You have convinced Yourself. Of something.
👁’m about as much of a Biblical scholar as barry (BM’sB*) soetoro is a constitutional one (scholar).
Fascinating Book, the KJV. Hard ta read, imho, and iho (i have only) barely scratched the surface.
‘Belief(s)’? Almost as though Free Will comes into play, May even be mentioned in there, @ least once.
You are fairly consistent in Your messaging/wording on the subject. could You cite a few examples of the contradictions You perceive?
For me? Book, Chapter and verse would be most helpful, as opposed to vague and nebulous references. Obviously, i’m nowhere near as familiar with it (The Bible) as You are.
Like i said, relative newbie, but i do try to follow along. Thank God for algore!
And Save Your efforts as a text document, or whateva ya call it.
Prolly painfully obvious, but 👁’m not much of a ‘puter person. Either. But after only several years of diligent pursuit? Now fairly easy to find, open and modify a Text thingy.
Sure it will be mere child’s play for You. That way, You can just change the
glaring contradictions/falsehoods/whatevaBook, Chapter & verse(s) as necessary for my edification?Your time and inclination permitting, of course.
* = Big Mike’s Bitch
Do your own homework. It’s very easy today. Ever heard of an online search? If you do it, then you can corroborate the information with your own bible. Any bible. You may also read books or watch videos by Mauro Biglino, Paul Wallis and many others to learn how the bible has been mistranslated. It’s that simple.
‘You are fairly consistent in Your messaging/wording on the subject. could You cite a few examples of the contradictions You perceive?’
…did You not understand?
👁’ma simple man, but strictly KJV @ this juncture, see NO Reason (juxtaposed myriad alleged reputable sources) to BELIEVE any other.
“If it’s in The Bible, 👁 BELIEVE it. If it’s NOT, it’s not for me”
Or something like that.
Irony and Coincidence NOT the only thing over which 👁’ve had a lifelong struggle.
Sincerely, Flail Away.
Alternatively? Think You received a few ‘alternate’ suggestions.
Free Will. Your choice.
Have a pleasant day,😅 (Grinning face w/squinting eyes and sweat drop)
Not getting in the middle because I’ve no idea the controversy. That being said, try the ESV version of the Bible , as a suggestion. It’s silly the KJV “only” crowd. People don’t talk like Olde English , at least not in Texas yet there are a number of KJV loyalists. Find a reference online
if that deeply interested that defines Greek and Hebrew into common English. Nothing wrong with KJV. I compare verses between it and ESV and sometimes NIV. BibleGateway. com lists every version imaginable for ease of cross reference.
…suffice to say, ANY Bible is accepted @ the weekly study i attend.
Currently? The MOST difficult NOW for me to “follow Along”? (Using my KJV)
Think it’s called “The Clear Word”. VERY ‘wordy’, rambling kinda.
imho? THAT’S Ironic.
For the sake of THIS discussion, diametrical wording difference ‘twixt KJV & NKJV alone, Sooo long ago, comparatively speaking, i can NOT even remember/quote the two places i noticed/mentioned. No answer. REALLY ‘green’ then.
One very popular misread…
Matthew 6:10 “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.”
And…
Luke 11:2 “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.”
Kinda figure it is referring to of what we were formed.
NOT grounds/justification for damnation.
In Fact, the way i read it currently? But ONE “unpardonable” Sin.
ALL kinds of people of every group will be in Heaven. Including murderers. ‘Biblical’. Too.
“Many Stripes” and all that, relevant.
Enuff.
And all deceiving!
“And all deceiving!”
“They all have been mistranslated. 😜”
😜 “Winking face with stuck-out tongue” ?
Free Will. You seem fairly convinced. Best of luck.

They all have been mistranslated. 😜
God delivered me from severe mental anguish, alcohol addiction, and a life of crime, and those are just a few of the highlights. Had you been unfortunate enough to encounter my former self some thirty years ago, and survived with your health and your property fully intact, you might have more appreciation for Him.
For every evil God permits in this twisted world, there are ten thousand He miraculously prevents.
The fool says in his heart there is no God.
The damned fool says it out loud.
Congratulations! You have become another victim of religious propaganda. You simply self hypnotized yourself based on lies designed to fool the dumb masses. It happens every day.
The real FOOL is the one that doesn’t realize that he’s being played, to hide the fact that he’s nothing but a slave in someone else’s farm, (The only reason for his existence), besides bringing more slaves to the farm in order to replace him. Meanwhile, he’s deceived into thinking that if he’s a good boy/girl while he’s exploited in the farm during his short lifetime, he/her, or whatever, will be rewarded with a future glorious life in “heaven”. The earth in nothing but a slave factory. Religious/spirituality, nothing but an emotional drug to pacify the slaves. Time to wake up from your slumber! 😴
You simply delivered yourself by reprogramming your mind with an illusion.
Hosea 6:2 is the key to understanding God’s timeline.
He takes the Jews off the table for two days or 2000 years at their rejection of Jesus obviously beginning at their crucifixion of Him and will restore them for one day or 1000 years at His second coming and millennial reign on earth.
The 2000 years will end in 2032 or 2033 the last 7 years of it being the 70th Week of Daniel which is the reign of the Antichrist beginning in 2025 or 2026.
Jesus true church and the restrainer will be removed or raptured from the earth prior to the last seven years.
Hosea is a prophet whom God uses to portray a message of repentance to God’s people. Through Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, God shows his great love for his people, comparing himself to a husband whose wife has committed adultery as a metaphor of the covenant between God and Israel.
True to your name EYES WIDE SHUT. You’re brainwashing is obviously so deep that I seriously doubt you will ever recover.
I don’t get the downvotes here. That’s a pretty accurate understanding of the the book of Hosea.
Your previous comment was kinda ridiculous, but you said nothing that wasn’t correct in this one.
An emotional crowd I guess, and rather unforgiving.
I think I’ll keep my end times opinions to myself.
You bozos and your stupid fucking “rapture” retardation… 🤦♂️
“Jesus true church and the restrainer will be removed or raptured from the earth prior to the last seven years.”
Matthew 24:40-41 “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” “Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

If the Mayans were right, it all ends in 2046. So just think how bad things are now, plus 23 years.
FYI The Mayans used a 360 day calendar, not 365, hence the discrepancy.
Wasn’t that supposed to happen in 2012? And where did you learn how to read Mayan?
The Mayans used a 360 day calendar, not 365, hence the discrepancy.
The ancient Romans also reckoned 360 days to the year. Plutarch wrote in his “Life of Numa” that in the time of Romulus, in the eighth century, the Romans had a year of 360 days only. Various Latin authors say that the ancient month was composed of thirty days.
On the other side of the ocean, the Mayan year consisted of 360 days; later five days were added, and the year was then a tun (360-day period) and five days; every fourth year another day was
added to the year. “They did reckon them apart, and called them the days of nothing: during the which the people did not anything,”
[break]
Chapter 8.
The Year of 360 Days
PRIOR to the last series of cataclysms, when, as we assume, the globe spun
on an axis pointed in a different direction in space, with its poles at a different location, on a different orbit, the year
could not have been the same as it has
been since.
Numerous evidences are preserved which prove that prior to the year of 365J» days, the year was only 360 days long. Nor was that year of 360 days primordial; it was a transitional form between a year of still fewer days and the present year.
In the period of time between the last of the series of catastrophes of the fifteenth century and the first in the series of catastrophes of the eighth century, the duration of a seasonal revolution
appears to have been 360 days.

Abbott is a coward and a traitor, just like other governors who will comply. They seem to want this country trashed with drugs, child trafficking, gangs, mass shootings and ongoing crime in cities the illegals are sent to.

I’m referring to the supporters of the arrested former PM enraged by an obvious lawfare scheme by the current gov’t.
But i’m referring to the fact that india and paw-ka-stawn (as barry says) are even gnukleer (as bush league says) ‘powers’ to begin with.
Figured they would be most likely to use ’em. Based on who shit on the wrong side of the Kashmir mountains.
Not much else for EITHER country to spend money on?
I am glad there is no racism here, not.
You have strange ideas.
The money controllers are actually ancient Babylonian families who’ve been controlling world finance for at least 4000 years. American Intelligence Media on YouTube (Mike started social media but the government stole his patents to weaponize it) has done an excellent series on who these demon-worshiping beings that control from the City of London, a separate government inside London, are. DC is their military enforcer apparatus.
“Mike started social media but the government stole his patents to weaponize it”
It goes even deeper than that.
As I recall, that argument didn’t prevail the last time it was tried…under a previous Democrat regime.
I expect similar results this time. I hope I’m wrong, but that doesn’t happen often.
As soon as illegal border crossers start getting shot by a state sanctioned operation, we the deplorables will probably lose at least half the support that we need. We don’t want this invasion and all this craziness at the border, but you are talking about other human beings that in their mind (minus the criminal element) are just looking for a better life. It’s a slippery slope but there has to be a better way. How about impeaching the entire Biden administration and just closing down the border following existing laws.
No , they will just flood in unchecked. The cities will devolve into chaos leading to martial law , or U.N. Troops as Kissinger said the people would be ” grateful ” for. Then they will fan out from the destroyed cities into the ‘burbs.
So few patriots left in this county to do anything , most are elderly with mobility issues. Young people could care less about anything vital. Spending all free time texting, social media and video games self absorbed, along with many middle aged and retirees who know nothing about globalism. I have no time for these dimwits in this retirement community I live in. Most joined the covid cult club. Governors nationwide are complicit to this invasion and mayors don’t care if their cities turn to trash pits since some already are unfit for decent people.
Yet there are tens of millions who voted for Trump, millions of them must be armed and the second amendment is there to protect the freedom of the citizens. For decades now the government and the courts have been violating the constitution, it has to stop.
hoodwinked – “take the guns first, due process later.”
Additional hoodwinked. Would a Christian that believes God made man, God made woman turn the other way in denial if I could prove to them Donald Trump and Mar-a-Lago hosted an LGBT Gala in November 2021 and support the guy anyway. Exactly what is a “evangelical” that supports Trump? A queer? This is a big issue , turning kids into who knows what. Support for Trump?
LBGTransgender?
To heck with the abomination. It’s all about Trump saving ME taxes. Right?
Who is going to confront Trump about the LGBT Gala? NM, it’s looking like in the US it does not matter.
Nationalism is idolatry.
True followers of Christ don’t dirty their hearts or hands with politics.
I have a King. My King clearly stated that His Kingdom was not of this world.
Satan is the god of this world, or king if you will. So voting (as if it even mattered) is merely the selection of the lesser potentates in a clearly satanic kingdom.
Is this even up for debate?
Babylon is a system.
Come out of her my people,
says the Lord.
True that nationalism is a form of worship, just like any other religion.
But it’s also true that “christians” are completely brainwashed and delusional. Most don’t even know their bibles. If they did, they would realize that all that Jesus supposedly said and predicted, was meant for the people living in that part of the world back in the 1st century. Which obviously never happened. Do your research or continue 😴.
Decades aren’t enough for you to have learned that it’s all bullshit?
Yeah the elderly patriots who were fooled into fighting in wars all based on lies. Those are the patriots.
That’s a good idea.
You should try that.

Get a fucking brain and educate yourself. You represent not a single sane person in Texas.
How about impeaching the entire Biden administration…
Impeaching an illegitimate administration??? Tell me how that works.
Take a time out and think before commenting in the future.
There hasn’t been a legitimate administration in decades . I’d say since around 1962.
Probably right, but this one in particular was blatantly obvious. Yet, we sit and twiddle our thumbs…
It takes courage to take the same action today that the founding fathers took so many years ago. Cowardice is the biggest obstacle to keeping one’s freedom.

Pence refused to allow Congress to take up the validity of the electoral college count.
Whether you like it or not, that made the Biden election, and hence his administration, legitimate.
Idiotic logic. Typical.
“Get a fucking brain and educate yourself. You represent not a single sane person in Texas.”
I have a brain and that’s why I’m saying we don’t need to start shooting illegal border crossers. Good Lord, that is what they did at the Berlin wall, that’s what the NORKs do even today. Is that what should have happened to the protesters on J6 too? Where do we draw the line? Look what happened to the rancher in Texas that was simply defending himself, his wife, and his property from an alleged armed intruder.
This invasion is all by design, just as they did to Europe. The idea is to morph our culture and it will likely succeed since our entire government has been captured and is controlled by a cabal and almost all messaging is supported by the uni-party, corporate media, large corporations, hedge funds and banksters, hollywierd celebs, sports organizations, colleges, and of course left-wing voters.
I’m pretty sure that you will find many “sane people in Texas” that would be against shooting down illegal border crossers regardless of their being adamantly against ole Joe’s open border policies just as I am.
“Take a time out and think before commenting in the future.”
Your comments are usually smart and lucid, but don’t fucking tell me to think before commenting. Why don’t you get yourself down to the Texas border and start shooting people and see how that goes?
The entire government has always been captive. 😉
Gotta believe you are a troll. Nobody is that stupid. But in case you meant it – i would say: Learn how to count idiot. Yes idiots can’t understand the fake elections produce fake patriot politicians and fake patriot generals.
But even an idiot should be able to count up to 67. It takes 67 votes to win an impeachment vote in the Senate. Getting that many votes to worship Biden’s demolition of the USA is easy. With Mitt Romney leading the way – Biden got his bi-partisan rubber-stamp of the hate-America, transgender-fanatic, gun-confiscator Jackson onto the Supreme Court.
Impeachment votes against Biden? Maybe one. Rand Paul. And even that one is shaky.
So run for Senate (clods and frauds fit right in) and you and Paul can make it 2 votes for irrelevance.
It is an invasion, “they” do not seek a better life, “they” want to replace you and keep your stuff.
They come looking for a better life….reeeeee

It’s theft when the government takes your money.
To then give it to everyone that seems to need something is just an unconstitutional misappropriation of funds.
Only the brain dead think the constitution really matters.
I have known this for a quite a while. You can stop all the commie fed bullshit at the state level. All of it. They just don’t want to is the sad thing.
Abbott is a democrat. He also claims to be a born again Christian, which makes sense.
I can’t believe this got so many thumbs up.
I used to think Bracken was a fairly smart guy.
The Constitution will save us. All it takes is for Abbott to INVOKE it.
Utter horseshit. Abbott can’t “invoke” shit. It’s the U.S. Constitution, not the Texas Contstitution.
The U.S. “shall protect each of [the states] from invasion”. Who do you think decides whether it’s an “invasion” or not?
Is it not obvious — you know, since they’re actually encouraging it as POLICY!!!!!!!! — that they do not and would never consider this an “invasion”?
Why even bring up this toilet paper document?
Abbott may well be completely okay with the “invasion”. He seems to have done little except “bullshit posturing for show”. He may be a treasonous sack of shit. All that may be true.
What is NOT true, and what is fully retarded to say, is that Abbott can “invoke” article 4 against this “invasion” and we’ll have Guard members and Rangers repelling the invaders in no time …. because Muh Cunstitution!!!
Hooray!!! An end to the illegal alien problem. Why didn’t anyone else think of this?
Thanks Matt Bracken. (fuckin tard)
I’m calling Screamin’ Mark Levin in on this one. He was explaining the invasion today.
“It’s the Constitooootion” – Levin.
How is Mark’s progress on amending COTUS?
Answer: a wad of $$$ in his pocket
The States used to have a legitimate constitutional role in electing/appointing Senators, which gave the states a balancing power against democratic usurpation at the federal level.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure the Texas Constitution tells the government of Texas to protect the lives, liberty and property of Texans.
I pulled up the Texas Constitution searching for words like life, liberty, property , border(s) , immigration ,
illegal immigration. Life, liberty , property are mentioned in Section 19 of Article 1.
Text of Section 19:
Deprivation of Life, Liberty, Etc.; Due Course of Law
No citizen of this State shall be deprived of life, liberty, property, privileges or immunities, or in any manner disfranchised, except by the due course of the law of the land.[1]

Yes. Me, starting tomorrow. To help embrace our new “friends” we’re about to receive. Working on my tan as we speak…
Edit: I just smile big time every time I hear REK. I’m in the cult.
That is some flair in clothing for certain!
Once upon a time a brother married a beautiful Hispanic girl while working in Brownsville. The wedding took place in a Catholic church. The attendance was sizable but afterwards at the reception the crowd was much , much larger. I understood it was custom for those more outside the family to perhaps not attend the wedding itself but everyone attends the reception for free food and drink. It was quite a reception.
As the ending “act” a Mariachi band serenaded groom and bride through the reception area and out to the limousine which I was selected to drive the newlyweds to the location of their first night in paradise together. This event is one of the most hilarious I can recall in my lifetime.
I’m objectifying her….

Galatians 4:21-31
You’re even dumber than I imagined.
Flash- Old Tex is OK, he kinda grows on ya after a while.
What do you contradict about those verses.
Agree, disagree, THIS Gentleman’s explanation/interpretation provided light-years worth of insight for me. Nearly always my 1st go-to source. ONE of the reasons 👁’ma big proponent, KJV.
Verbatim. Soooo helpful early on. STILL. Exceptional , imho, “Foreword(s) EVERY Book, lots of Historical references and ‘Cross Platform Compatability’. 🤣
“Verses 4:21 – 5:1: Paul continuing to contrast grace and law, faith and work; employs an Old Testament story as an analogy or illustration of what he has been teaching.
Galatians 4:21 “Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?”
“Under the law” (see note on 3:10).
Paul had spoken to them of his love for them, but now he changes to a reprimand. Those who are determined that it is necessary to keep the law of Moses are the ones he is specifically speaking to in this verse.
Galatians 4:22 “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.”
“Two sons”: Ishmael, son of Sarah’s Egyptian maid Hagar (Gen. 16:1-16), and Isaac, Sarah’s son (Gen. 21:1-7). “The one” Ishmael, “by a bondmaid” slave woman, in this case, Hagar, “the other Isaac “by a freewoman” (Sarah).
We see in this a very good argument for not going back to the law. We have discussed in a previous lesson how the law symbolized the flesh, and grace symbolized the Spirit. The law brought bondage to them. Grace had brought freedom.
Galatians 4:23 “But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.”
“Born after the flesh:” Ishmael’s birth was motivated by Abraham and Sarah’s lack of faith in God’s promise and fulfilled by sinful human means. Ishmael was born in the ordinary manner, natural physical generation. But Isaac’s birth was “by promise,” in other words, as the result of divine promise. Contrary to nature, God enabled his parents to conceive in old age.
The comparison here, is in the natural birth of the nation of Israel and the law. They were symbolic of the bondwoman’s children. This was a religion of works of the law.
The freewoman’s son was the son the promise of the redeemer would be fulfilled through. The free woman was the mother of the son the promise to Abraham would come through. We have shown over and over in these lessons how the seed spoken of in the promise to Abraham was Jesus, and through Him His followers.
Galatians 4:24 “Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Hagar.”
“An allegory” goes beyond certain surface parts of a historical account and draws out deeper meanings seemingly not inherent in that account.
The Greek word was used of a story that conveyed a meaning beyond the literal sense of the words. In this passage, Paul uses historical people and places from the Old Testament to illustrate spiritual truth.
This is actually not an allegory, nor are there any allegories in Scripture. An allegory is a fictional story where real truth is the secret, mysterious, hidden meaning. The story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, and Isaac is actual history and has no secret or hidden meaning. Paul uses it only as an illustration to support his contrast between law and grace.
Paul is saying: “These things lend themselves to the following figurative explanation.” Paul makes Hagar represent the Mosaic covenant (i.e., the law) “which gendereth to bondage” (or, “which begets children for slavery”). As Hagar gave birth to Ishmael, sharing her same social status of slavery, so the law puts those subject to it in spiritual bondage.
“Two covenants”: Paul uses the two mothers, their two sons, and two locations as a further illustration of two covenants. Hager, Ismael, and Mt. Sinai (earthly Jerusalem), represent the covenant of law; Sarah, Isaac and the heavenly Jerusalem the covenant of promise.
However, Paul cannot be contrasting these two covenants as different ways of salvation, one way for Old Testament saints, another for New Testament saints, a premise he has already denied (2:16; 3:10-14, 21-22). The purpose of the Mosaic Covenant was only to show all who were under its demands and condemnation their desperate need for salvation by grace alone (3:24), it was never intended to portray the way of salvation.
Paul’s point is that those, like the Judaizers, who attempt to earn righteousness by keeping the law receive only bondage and condemnation (3:10, 23). While those who partake of salvation by grace, the only way of salvation since Adam’s sin, are freed from the law’s bondage and condemnation.
“Mount Sinai”: An appropriate symbol for the old covenant, since it was at Mt. Sinai that Moses received the law (Exodus 19).
“Hagar”: Since she was Sarah’s slave (Gen. 16:1), Hagar is a fitting illustration of those under bondage to the law (verses 5, 21, 3:23). She was associated with Mt. Sinai through her son Ishmael whose descendants settled in that region.
We see in these two covenants, the law and the grace. The law covenant was made to the physical house of Israel, and the covenant of promise (grace), was for the spiritual house of Israel (all believers in Christ).
The strange thing is that the covenant of the law had to be, before there could be the covenant of grace from the law. The law brought bondage upon the people. Hagar was the mother of the son of the flesh (Ishmael).
Galatians 4:25 “For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.”
“For” further explains the link between Hagar and Sinai. “Hagar is mount Sinai” means, “Hagar stands for Mount Sinai.” Hagar “answereth” [corresponds] “to” the then current “Jerusalem” (i.e., Judaism). Paul viewed Hagar and Judaism in the same way, for as Hagar and her offspring were in social bondage, so Judaism and her adherents were in spiritual slavery to the law.
“Answereth … Jerusalem”: The law was given at Sinai and received its highest expression in the temple worship at Jerusalem. The Jewish people were still in bondage to the law.
Galatians 4:26 “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.”
“Jerusalem which is above is free”: Heaven (Heb. 12:18, 22). Those who are citizens of heaven (Phil. 3:20), are free from the Mosaic law, works, bondage, and trying endlessly and futilely to please God by the flesh.
“The mother”: Believers are children of the heavenly Jerusalem, the “mother-city” of heaven. In contrast to the slavery of Hagar’s children, believers in Christ are free (5:1; Isa. 61:1; Luke 4:18; John 8:36; Rom. 6:18, 22; 8:2; 2 Cor. 3:17).
Christianity is represented by “Jerusalem which is above,” that is, the heavenly city. This Christian community is described as being “free,” that is, not under the law.
This is speaking of the New Jerusalem. This is the Jerusalem where Christ reigns. New Jerusalem and the Christians are sometimes spoken of as the same. Of course, the New Jerusalem spoken of as the bride of Christ and the believers in Christ being the bride of Christ is what I am speaking of.
Galatians 4:27 “For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath a husband.”
Paul applies the passage from (Isaiah 54:1), to the Jerusalem above.
The “barren” woman is Christianity; “she which hath a husband” is Judaism. Initially the latter had many adherents and the former had few. But Christianity “hath” will have “many more children” (i.e. followers), than Judaism.
This has to be a spiritual statement. This could not be in the natural. This is speaking of the Christians, who are saved, being so many that they are impossible to number. The Jews, or physical Israel, is small in comparison to that.
Galatians 4:28 “Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.”
“Children of promise”: Just as Isaac inherited the promises made to Abraham (Gen. 26:1-3), so also are believers the recipients of God’s redemptive promises (1 Cor. 3:21-23, Eph. 1:3), because they are spiritual heirs of Abraham (see note on 3:29).
“Now” begins to apply the figurative manner of explanation. Paul views Christians as “children of promise.” That is, as Isaac was born in fulfillment of divine promise, so the Galatians’ status as God’s “children” rests neither on physical descent nor on meritorious works, but on faith in God’s “promise.”
Believers in Christ (Christians), are the children of promise, through Jesus Christ. Isaac was the spiritual son of Abraham. He was the son of promise, not the son of the flesh. Our blessing is from the right hand. The right hand blessing is the spiritual blessing.
Galatians 4:29 “But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.”
“He that was born after the flesh”: Ishmael (see note on verse 23).
“Persecuted him that was born after the Spirit”: Isaac, who Ishmael mocked at the feast celebrating Isaac’s weaning (see Gen. 21:8-9).
“Even so it is now,” says Paul; those seeking salvation by works trouble those seeking divine favor by faith in God’s grace (5:10).
Ishmael’s descendants (Arabs), have always persecuted Isaac’s (Jews). So, unbelievers have always persecuted believers (Matt. 5:11; 10:22-25; Mark 10:30; John 15:19-20; 16:2, 33; 17:14; Acts 14:22; 2 Tim. 3:12; Heb. 11:32-37; 1 Pet. 2:20-21; 3:14; 4:12-14).
The war has always been between the flesh and the Spirit. Christians are born of the Spirit of God. We are not of the flesh.
John 3:5-6 “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
Paul is warning them here that there will never be peace between the flesh and the Spirit. The flesh wants to put you under bondage. The Spirit frees.
Galatians 4:30 “Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
“Cast out the bondwoman” (quoted from Gen. 21:10), to illustrate that those who are attempting to be justified on the basis of keeping the law will be cast out of God’s presence forever (Matt. 8:12; 22:12-13, 25:30; Luke 13:28; 2 Thess. 1:9).
Paul continues applying the allegory by citing (Genesis 21:10-12), where Abraham was advised to send Hagar and Ishmael away from Sarah and Isaac. The Galatians are to excommunicate the Judaizers from their ranks. Why? Legal bondage (justification by works), and spiritual freedom (justification by faith), cannot coexist.
Jesus is the Way to heaven. There is only one way to get there. Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ makes heaven your home. It is not possible to believe in Jesus, and not believe Him all at the same time. (Romans 10:9-10), tell what you must do to be saved.
Romans 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
This leaves no doubt at all. The son of the flesh denies the Lord Jesus. The son of the freewoman believes. His faith is counted unto him as righteousness.
Galatians 4:31 “So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.”
“We are not children of the bondwoman” (see notes on 4:24, 26).
Christians are not of the flesh, but are of the Spirit. We are righteous, with faithful Abraham, because we have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul is saying one more time, stay free and do not go back into the bondage of the law.”

Good exegesis doesn’t contain parentheses.
“Ishmael’s descendants (Arabs), have always persecuted Isaac’s (Jews).”
There were no j-e-w-s until after Judah.
…Sorry! Was thinkin’ of a different word.
“Exegesis (/ˌɛksɪˈdʒiːsɪs/ EK-sih-JEE-sis; from the Greek ἐξήγησις, from ἐξηγεῖσθαι, “to lead out”) is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text.”
‘Twas a direct Copy/Paste. Time permitting, i usually bold the verses for easier reading.
“There were no j-e-w-s until after Judah.”
Worth pointing out, Prolly many are unaware, as i was, for the longest. No Broad and derisive conotation implied.
Always/Still wonder about…
Matthew 27:52 “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,”
“Bodies of the saints … arose”: Matthew alone mentions this miracle. Nothing more is said about these people, which would be unlikely if they remained on earth for long. Evidently, these people were given glorified bodies; they appeared “to many” (verse 53), enough to establish the reality of the miracle; and then they no doubt ascended to glory, a kind of foretaste of (1 Thess. 4:16).
Matthew 27:53 “And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
“And came out of the graves after his resurrection”: The resurrection of Christ; for he rose as the first fruits, as the first begotten of the dead, and the firstborn from the dead. For he was the first that was raised to an immortal life; for though others were raised before him, by himself, and in the times of the prophets, yet to a mortal life.
The narrative of Matthew does not determine whether they came to life before Jesus rose, and remained in the tombs, or came to life after he died. The latter is probably the correct opinion. There is nothing said of the reason why they were raised. It is not improbable to suppose that it was, amid the other wonders attending the death of Jesus, to convince the Jews that he was the Messiah.
What became of them after they had entered into the city whether they again died or ascended to heaven, is not revealed, and conjecture is vain.
“And went into the holy city; the city of Jerusalem”: Which though now a very wicked city, was so called, because of the temple, and the worship of God, and his residence in it. The burying places of the Jews were without the city and therefore these risen saints, are said to go into it.
Here is victory to the utmost. What all the prophets and holy men before Him had not been able to do, Jesus did. Jesus had opened the way to the Holy of Holies in heaven to His followers. God had torn down the curtain of partition that had kept the people from getting close to God. All believers have been made perfect by the blood of the Lamb (His precious Son).
These graves opened when Jesus came out of the earth and brought captivity captive with Him. The Sunday that Jesus arose is the feast of the firstfruits with the Jews. This is the first of the harvest. Truly these coming from the graves were the firstfruits of the rapture. These resurrected from the dead were seen of many in Jerusalem, as Jesus was seen by over 500.”
imho? COULD be a few here and there, agree with the above Author, “conjecture is vain”.

Maybe he’s negotiating with other border states to unite in such an action.
Anyway, to the article, Shaara is good, but I’ve found, looking for different perspectives, that reading biographies is some of the best history.
I’d recommend some, but if you haven’t time to read…
There are very good biographies of Franklin, Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, Washington, and they cover lots of the history of the Revolution, obviously. I always like to ask “why?” questions, and I find more “why” answers in biographies than in most histories. Histories in general give you a more expanded view, condensed for brevity. Biographies delve into the more personal, expanded for clarity.
I do disagree that once Liberty is lost it can never be regained. I’d love to ask for an explanation of that… Why?

Well at least we still have our first country to land on the moon pride intact and no one can take that away…reeeeeee
‘No proof’ US landed on moon – Ex-Russian space boss
Dmitry Rogozin says that while many in Roscosmos defended Washington’s version of events, no one could produce irrefutable proof

Flash- The Russians tucked that moon landing BS theater away to use as blackmail if needed. They knew it was a lie, critical thinkers knew it was a lie but muh patriotism got a big boost (cough).
If you could only apply the same type of reasoning to the religious Psyop.
“…darkness slowly engulfing the world as we approach the denouement of this Fourth Turning, the fourth, and hopefully not last, in U.S. history.”
The cyclic nature of mankind’s story is evident.
Christians know the cycles will not go on ad infinitum. There will be a termination of history. This may not be the final fourth turning. This may be the final fourth turning. All I know is it is written that there will be a final turning.

Deuteronomy 28:48b-52-48b-52 The Message (MSG)
Yes, GOD will raise up a faraway nation against you, swooping down on you like an eagle, a nation whose language you can’t understand, a mean-faced people, cruel to grandmothers and babies alike. They’ll ravage the young of your animals and the crops from your fields until you’re destroyed. They’ll leave nothing behind: no grain, no wine, no oil, no calves, no lambs—and finally, no you. They’ll lay siege to you while you’re huddled behind your town gates. They’ll knock those high, proud walls flat, those walls behind which you felt so safe. They’ll lay siege to your fortified cities all over the country, this country that GOD, your God, has given you.
Sure, keep believing in fantasy. The bible is nothing but a tool to fool and control the dumb masses. Thousands of years of human and animal suffering are not enough for you to realize that you have been conned? Wake up!
“Dirp !!!” Why is human suffering bad ?Or maybe you actually don’t think it is because as you pointed out it does seem to be the natural state of things , that would at least be a more logically consistent position for you .
More like Simplemoron.
Perhaps, I am after all only a simplecarpenter in real life ,but I notice you didn’t answer the question ? Perhaps it’s also possible Ive given this subject much more serious , in depth thought without preconcieved bias than you . After all, I can tell you I wasn’t raised in a religious household ,nor did I spend a good portion of the earlier part of my life identifying as a Christian . But at the end of the day your position is still self contradictory and logically inconsistent nevertheless . You cant borrow from the very thing you deny exists, the very objections you are using to negate it in the first instance . At least not logically anyway , perhaps that doesn’t matter to you , if so you have my apologies , I’d just assumed that that kind of thing would have been important to you, as it is to me .Thats all, suit yourself beyond that and Godbless you Sir .
Thank you but I don’t need blessings from an imaginary being. If you can’t figure out what’s right in front of your face then there’s no hope for you.
The problem with retards is that they don’t know they’re retards.
Certainly the belief that the universe sprang to life from a “singularity” that already contained the universe is possible, but it doesn’t seem reasonable… Where did the universe come from to get into the “singularity?
For starters, can you prove the universe is really the way that you have been led to believe it is? And even if it were, does it have to be the product of a god of love? It’s plain to see to anyone with a working brain that all the evidence is stacked up against that idea.
Most people have been indoctrinated to believe in either that type of god or the theory of evolution. Can there be at least another alrernative? Of course, but the powers that rule this world don’t want you to know about it. They usually offer only two alternatives in order to control the sheep, like the false left-right political paradigm. Kapisch?
The Creator is eternal therefore the creation is eternal.
.”Thousands of years of human and animal suffering…”
As if humanity without the Bible was peaceful and moral?
You don’t need the bible or any religion to be peaceful and moral. Religion is just a tool to deceive, control and subjugate the dumb sheep. The bible is full of immorality, starting with it’s so called god. I doubt that you have read it, but if you have and haven’t realized this, then you are totally brainwashed.
Why is everyone still blaming God for all the evil in the world? If God doesn’t exist, how is He the problem?
And who are we gonna blame now?
I nominate the Joos
Simply because if he really existed, like the believers insist, then who else would be responsible but the perfect creator? But of course, that’s why they invented another imaginary figure (Satan) to shift the blame to. The preferred bogeyman of religion. The same principle is applied in politics to any politician who tries to become independent of the corrupt system enslaving all. Like Bin Laden, Gaddafi, and Hussein, with his non existing weapons of mass destruction, just to cite a few examples. All modern day bogeymen to instill fear in the ignorant masses and create a pretext for war.
The same entities are behind it all!
If God is to have any opposition He had to create it.
“Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn’t care to, or he doesn’t exist. God is either impotent, evil, or imaginary. Take your pick, and choose wisely.
The only sense to make of tragedies like this is that terrible things can happen to perfectly innocent people. This understanding inspires compassion.
Religious faith, on the other hand, erodes compassion. Thoughts like, ‘this might be all part of God’s plan,’ or ‘there are no accidents in life,’ or ‘everyone on some level gets what he or she deserves’ – these ideas are not only stupid, they are extraordinarily callous. They are nothing more than a childish refusal to connect with the suffering of other human beings. It is time to grow up and let our hearts break at moments like this.”
― Sam Harris
The proof is in all the down votes. It shows how dumbed down the sheep have become.
Or, even sheep know an idiot when they hear one.
It looks like you must have lost your other eye as well. You’re totally blind! 😝
Fuckin’ retard. Are you a heeb wondering around in a desert
No one is smarter than you , bruh… I’ll bet you have white papers shooting out of your coffee can sized asshole.
That’s a LOVING GOD for sure!
America has no walled cities. It is here that Ez. 38-39 was accomplished. It’s a done deal.
Revelation features callbacks to this pattern of repeating cycles of turning to armies and economics over God and the suffering that ensues. This pattern begins in the OT and continues to the present day. Only the Father knows when the last cycle will be.
Pure bullshit for the dumb slaves.
In your deluded mind only.
Just because it’s written doesn’t mean shit.
Great read. I agree, the time has long come for good men to stand and be heard.
“The blood of patriots and tyrants” It’s time for the tyrants to put some of their blood in the game.
They just laugh.
But a single eventual mark on the left side of Toles cartoon scoreboard stops the much higher, more cruel yet unreported, casualties of a tyrant’s regime.
Its never an easy thing losing that which you love. But the nation of the usausa is dead.
The evil behind this death doesn’t rest or sleep and it WILL get worse. The question is what will be the trigger to set the pyre aflame. Will it be an economic trigger? a border invasion? a govt over reach that will trigger a mass revolt? What will finally set the nation to stand up and openly rebel against the evil of the day??
Resistance is a necessity and an action.
The USA was nothing but an illusion to fool the sheep. After they had you trust the system through indoctrination with propaganda, they are now closing the door of the pen. You fell into their trap and now they got you by the balls!
But not you?
When you’re fully awake it doesn’t affect you in the same way.
I’ve been studying this for many years. Up until recently with the covid scamdemic I was called a conspiracy theorist and tinfoil hatter. Yes, when you become aware of something, it doesn’t doesn’t take you by surprise, therefore it doesn’t affect you in the same way. You can even prepare for it.
The bible believers, on the other hand are in for a big let down. They think that what’s happening now is proof positive of the bible’s profecies being fulfilled, and expect to be saved soon. What they don’t know is that the entities behind what’s happening in the world today, have been fooling humanity from the very beginning. They have the power to manipulate world events to make it seem that those profecies are being fulfilled, and have been doing so for generations.
It’s time to wake up. Like Charles Fort said, the earth is a farm. We’re someone else’s property. Do your own research!
When they’ve got you by the balls ,your heart and mind follow.
🤪
Violence is going to happen.
The violence will ONLY succeed IF GOD WILLS IT.
What reasons have WE GIVEN GOD to STOP the MADNESS?
Crickets……………is all I hear.
God will stop nothing in a “world” seemingly tolerable of fag queens and politicians that sponsor LGBT Galas.
If that type of god really existed he would have to be responsible for everything that’s wrong in the world. A perfect, almighty, all knowing god of love would have created a perfect, incorruptible world and would not have allowed anyone or anything to interfere with it.
Ignorant secularist pontificating on the nature of God doesn’t rate kack.

Ignorant religotard pontificating on the nature of God is so much better…. /s

Back in the 70’s I used to surf at a spot (Stanley’s) just north of Ventura that was in front of where Yvon Chouinard lived. Yvon is a world famous rock climber, environmentalist and the founder of Patagonia. He started out selling home made Pitons out of the trunk of his car. Sometimes he would paddle out with us and talk. He felt the human brain has not developed much past hunter gatherer stage and that the technology developed by man is sensory overload for the vast majority and most of it is used for nefarious reasons. He also had zero faith in mankind to get out of it’s own way and not eventually destroy itself. Super cool, smart guy, but kind of sad to talk to because it seems like he was right, and this was 50 years ago. Anyway…good read Admin.
He sounds like a latent Christian. In our lives, the presence of God is removed by sin, but one can not be cut off from the Holy Spirit. Though, in my experience it can certainly be muted and ignored.
There comes a point when God withdraws and gives them over to strong delusions. There are many people who resist God and give themselves to the Destroyer. The HS is not in them or near them, you cannot have a well of pure and bitter waters. Its either or, not both.
Like you, deluded with the idea of an imaginary god. Talk about delusions!
It takes a special kind of arrogant to claim to know the mind of God and speak for him.
😴
Your brainwashing is deep!
you getting paid to keep leaving these retarded comments here?
So let me ask you this………………………….
3500 recognized religions in the world and………………….
They, ALL say, their god is the only god………
Whose god ??
What about a Creator ???
The Mohawk, Seneca’s, Lakota’s , Navajo, Cherokee, Hopi (Ect, Ect, Ect.)
ALL , Believed in a Creator .
Down vote me , All you want But,
There ain’t A Single one here, as “Spiritual” as a Lakota Elder…….
just this simple greeting , ‘Mitakuye Oyasin’ tells all .
A Whole lot of difference between Religion and
Spirituality
Let The Down Vote Begin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for some reason, it didn’t add my name sooo
just so you all know, who done it.
There once were many gods, but only one Creator…i.e. the Most High.
Psalm 82
A psalm of Asaph.
1 God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:
2 “How long will you[a] defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?[b]
3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.
Sooooo,
you quote a document that is Eight Thousand Years Newer………
Then the Oldest KNOWN Civilization ……………..
GO EF’nnnnnnnnn figure .
Just remember You Down Votin Fundies………..
It WAS Your Religion , Responsible for the Annihilation of…….
The 14 Or So, MILLION Inhabitants of this land
BECAUSE………. They Weren’t (so called) christians ………
(Decreed by the pope in 1683)
Yup, sounds like something I’d want to be apart of!!!
WTF are you going on about ‘tard?
And many more in other parts of the world. The religious fanatics are willing to rape, plunder, torture and murder any other human beings just because their god tells them, or so they believe. All that anyone left with a working brain has to do is learn a little history or read the old testament to see the power that religion exerts over the dumb sheep. And it continues to this day, promoted by the political governments which they worship. No difference.
For brainwashed and indoctrinated minds only. The truth is plain to see to anyone capable of critical thinking. You are part of a slave class that has been deceived by the so called gods from the very beginning. You’re only mission in life is to slave for them your entire puny life and have lots of sex early in life to bring a new generation to replace you in the farm. Once you raise them, you’re eliminated and the process continues ad infinitum. Everything else is pure fantasy designed to hide the truth from you.
The farm’s owners have realized that the slaves are waking up and have determined to do something about it. Right now they have more slaves that it’s comfortable for them to manage, so they are doing everything possible to reduce the world’s population and are obviously planning to replace the human slaves with cyborgs. The evidence is all around us. Humans are slated for extermination by the real owners, not any god who you have been brainwashed with. It’s time to wake up from your slumber.
Good job getting your moron card punched. Keep it up and soon you’ll have enough moron points to be declared supremely stupid and get that free get out of stupid jail you’ve lived your whole life for….reeeeee
The only morons are indoctrinated sheep like you who are incapable of seeing the truth even when their staring at it.
You forgot reeeee!
Who exactly are you trying to convince?
I used to know this really wise Christian who would go to these atheist conventions and stand outside and scream at the attendees as they passed by, just kidding.
Someone who is confident in their position, has no need to recruit others over to their side. Even less need to harass or deride those they disagree with.
Take it from an old guy. There’s a lot we don’t know.
Certainty and Stupidity are sisters,
if you’ve kissed one, you’ve kissed the other.
Yes, there’s a lot we don’t know and will never know because it has been hidden from us. But then, there is what’s evident to anyone with a working brain.
The fact that you’re old is no guarantee of either knowledge or wisdom. Most people go to their graves with the same programming they were given as children.
I’m not young either and I’ve been studying this subject for many years. Human history and the evidence all around us clearly shows that we have been fooled and are being deceived to this day with religion and “the science”, which is just another form of religion.
I don’t know about you, but my experience in life has taught me that it’s better to live by facing reality than to live out of false promises and illusions. The latter, being what the owners of the system want for you in order to be able to keep controlling, manipulating, and subjugating you.
Men built the system, God built the creation. Hang around and see which lasts.
Bullshit, the entire system belongs to the makers, the real owners.
And thus the benefit of communication.
You don’t seem to be able to differentiate between false gods and legitimate gods.
The most high in what, drugs? 😄
Religion and spirituality are the same bullshit, just a different flavor to fool the dumb masses. Time to wake up!
The God denying dipshit is in fully triggered mode, today…reeeeeeeee
The imaginary god promoting brainwashed morons are always at it, reeeeee.
Indeed. It appears he even brought a few extra devices with him to bolster his position.
Never wrestle with a pig, the pig likes it, and you’ll just get dirty.

@ k31
He never said so, but he always left me with the impression that he was an Atheist.
He worshipped nature and hated mankind shitting on it. To this day Patagonia prides itself on sustainable materials/ textiles and low impact manufacturing which makes it so expensive compared to North Face, Columbia, etc….
I used to surf Emma Wood when I stayed with some of my Ventura local buddies. Got to hit the Strand a couple times too. Back when Cali was still cool.
When queers did not rub on your kids while visiting Disneyland…just stupid people dressed like Mickey Mouse but they only scared some kids.
Off topic, as a kid in the early 60’s family would visit other family in the Los Angeles area. The drive from Texas to LA. I recall going to a beach I’m thinking around Ventura where older cousins would surf. I’ve lost track of any of the LA family that may still be living in order to ask what seems wherever we went for the surfing there was an amusement park and various vendors and shops as well as the beach.
This, I believe, is the key point. Until the standard of living of a substantial portion of the population significantly drops, there will be no revolution, peaceful or otherwise. People will not risk losing everything in a revolution until they are to the point where they have nothing more to lose.
I concur. We’re all only 9 meals from anarchy at any given time.
It’s our time.
I don’t believe its 9 anymore…………………………..
More like 3 considering
we import upwards of 80% of our food now.
“When people have nothing left to lose…they lose it”
-Gerald Celente-
Yeah, their own puny lives that is.
I recall reading Bill Bonner’s Daily Reckoning years ago when he asked someone from Argentina (during their madness) as to why the people didn’t rise up and fight their oppression.
The answer was that there was still too much steak and wine available.
They will continue to be supplied with bread and circuses. The bread might be made from bugs, but they’ll not only get used to it, they’ll extol its virtues as they are directed by talking points on television.
They will own nothing.
They will be happy because they’re living the lives that their neighbors live and which their television exalts.
They will eat ze bugs.
They will keep high social credit scores.
They will NEVER revolt or rebel … EVER.
You will have to choose to be one of them or to rebuke and reject them (family and friends included) and be, yourself, outcast.
No level of subjugation will satisfy the ruling, alpha psychopaths.
That WEF/Agenda30 stuff is just a mere road sign along humanity’s way to Dante’s final circle of the Inferno.
yes. That choice is already on offer. Rebellion starts with individual separation from the beast. But that entails casting off the social status and much of the economic trappings and appeals to the mythological and nostalgic vestiges of FUSA that are largely shared across the great divide.
The bread and circuses include more than sportsball and steaks. There is presently a great negotiation with the alt-reality in power underway to let us keep our nice things. Its understandable as a function of coming to terms with the fact that we have enjoyed the spoils of the empire of lies and now the fiddler is making his rounds. But it is not the way out, just further in.
I have been separating the best I can for a long while now and continue to work toward further separation. It is incredibly isolating, difficult, and often fruitless. It is not something I “recommend”. Especially if you do not have a basket of assets you can take with you.
But nobody in all the hate-filled chambers of dissident, alt, right-wing, whatever you call it, has an answer for the real-life challenges that surround such a move. The devil in those details is for each man to surmount.
An example of the modern day tea party would be to burn down some of the corporate oligarchs assets. Money and Power is their opium. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
The destruction would have to be “substantial” to overcome the ability of the insurance agencies to finance the replacement. Until you reach that tipping point, you’re only helping your enemy.
That’s a level of commitment I think you’ll find hard to rally.
and why would insurance agencies have immunity? I’m just applying an example of what the Revolutionary’s would have done in these modern times.
Because their true value isn’t “brick & mortar”. It’s the funny money they create out of thin air with GOVT backing.
TCS is pointing out that if you very hypothetically wanted to do what you suggest, it would be pointless unless you targeted the insurance on an asset before targeting the asset itself.
I hope more people catch on to this little hitch in their “revolutionary” plans.
Or target it SO F’ing hard and long that the insurance refuses to cover it. That’s the brute force hack. Simple. Straight forward.
If you were capable of doing that, you would also be capable of occupying, keeping, and using it. Good luck.
Besides, that sounds a lot like fed instigation and entrapment talk to me. Flowers By Irene ?
And THAT was muh point.
It ain’t likely.
…and then there’s the LEO’s to consider.
Yeah, fuck them too.
Only if they step out of line.
Police will be leaving in droves. Replaced with the non-citizen invaders.
Cali. passed a law saying non-citizens can now be ‘ police’ , should work out swell.
Bravo, Admin, fuckin bravo. I think there is a bit too much defeatism among our commenters. Michael Malice’s book ‘The White Pill: A Tale of Good and Evil’ sends a powerful message. There are 16 chapters, 14 of which are a painful slog. Malice (born in Ukraine and raised in Brooklyn) describes the nonstop evil exerted on those living under communism in Russia. The amount of deceit, privation, coercion, and oppression against common people was unfathomable. I had to drag myself thru it. When Ayn Rand was asked to explain what life was like after the communist revolution she answered that she couldn’t answer it because free people could not imagine such savagery. And it lasted for an entire generation but, in the end, in 1989 it all dissolved and went away with hardly a shot fired.
Conclusion: We can beat these bastards.
I think you mistake candid assessment for “defeatism”. There is nothing sustainable about an Empire of Lies. It will fall, because it must fall.
Perhaps. We need for it to fall.
I’ll see your Cloward and Piven and raise you nullification .
Mankind has been the victim of lies from the very beginning.
Inertia’s a bitch.
You’re delusional!
Fuck yourself
So its better to just except that we are doomed I tell ya, doomed !?! Lol .
Except or accept?
Duly noted but not edited . Tenth grade education here .
Much better than living from fantasies!
In 1989, Men were Men…………………..
in 2023 men are worthless and castrated.
But the sheep are no longer nervous .Hey wait a minute , I was a man in 1989 and I’m still a man today ?!?!
The swamp is deep and wide but that doesn’t mean it’s denizens can’t be caught…the irony is that the Communists who rule the Blue cities will perish at the hands of those they serve.
You’re trapped into the false left-right paradigm. This is much bigger!
Makers vs takers , same as it ever was , same as it ever was .
The 4th Reich Nazis – Schwab/ Mitt Romney/McConnell/Schumer/Bush/Obama/ Clinton etc control the Blue Cities and you and BL help them sell their takeover.
Evil shit. You are sucking some evil c*ck and loving it. Bad Mojo.
Before you condemn the percievers of linear time in favor of your cyclical theory, you might want to consider that you’re BOTH equally right AND wrong.
Put them together and what do you get? A SPIRAL.
In Flat World, what does a spiral look like? Either a line or a circle, depending upon its orientation to your plane of existence.
I submit to you that you’ve bamboozled yourself with your own limited perception.
Bullshit. Your model would need to continuously spiral either up or down.
Which leaves you with a disguised straight-line thinking.
Well now I know what the “m” stands for…Moran.
Thanks for the fact-based refutation!
And did you ask Stucky for copyright 😀
Moran? Who’s really the MORON here? Obviously the one that doesn’t know how to spell.
New to TBP? Inside joke from many years ago.
I thought the sign read “Get a Brian. Morans”.
Still…funny either way!
Hilarious!
USA! USA! USA! the MORANS said.
Seems I’ve often seen it spelled maroon too… ;-),
Answer: “Moran? Who’s really the MORON here? Obviously the one that doesn’t know how to spell.”
Question: Tell us you are a newbie MORAN with telling us you are a newbie MORAN.
Don’t you mean “moron “?
I usually say exactly what I mean. This was no exception.
Lyndon LaRouche proposed a spiral as a relationship with time and economic development
As humanity progressed from hunter gatherers to modern day the spiral increases proportional to man’s ability to harness energy and produce food etc. Wars and famines created discontinuities in time to reduce the spiral
I like it but I’m sticking with Chauncey Gardeners cyclical/ seasonal equivalancy to mans ups and downs , winter, spring, summer, and fall , rinse repeat .there are four seasons like there are four” turnings ” within a “seaculum ” . Also ,”good times make weak men” ,weak men make hard times, hard times make strong men , and strong men make good times “looks to be somewhat quadratic depending upon how you look at . I think with Chauncey though Kubric was trying to tell us something about people who have an affinity for overly complex explanations for things , and that would be that they are full of crap , either intentionally, decietful or with an over assesment of their own intelligence levels , or some combination of both .Also it alludes to the occult ” as above so below ” view of reality which isnt evil in and of itself as some dogmatic chrsitian’s ( obviously if you think about my online name, I identify as a christian , just not of the dogmatic variety ) think ,its just” hidden” ( occulted) knowledge whereby it is the act of hiding the truth about things that is evil , not the truth that happens to be hidden itself that is evil . Everything in the material universe operates on similar principles and down at a micro enough level is all just the same pure energy isnt it ?
Everything is rigged!
My thoughts were piqued by Jesus’ mention of a “shortening of the days” so that something might remain.
A spiral is basically a spring, whose primary function is to increase and decrease in length.
Good times? Stretch that thing out!
Bad times. Let it snap back.
I’m left wondering if it’s really that simple.
I’m wondering if it really matters and does it need microscopic analysis?
Its an aspect of the folly of us truth seeker types , we cant help but try and figure it out even though its likely we never will , but we may approach a closer understanding . The mind of God ,, the meaning of life , whatev….
The meaning of life is very simple. All you have to do is open your eyes. You are a slave existing to work for the system’s owners. You’re expected to work for most of your life and to bring a new generation of slaves to replace you in the farm. No different than any other animal except in the level of exploitation. After all, you were created as a thinking biological robot for a reason. After raising the new slaves, you are exterminated by a process of self destruction genetically programned in your cells. That’s the meaning of life. Lather, rinse, repeat generation after generation. Meanwhile, the owners want you to believe in the fantasy that you’re the product of a god who loves you and has promised that after you croak, you really don’t. If you do as you’re told he will grant you eternal life. 😜
Well, you’re NOT going know if it “matters” until you understand how it works.
One day everybody was sitting around the dinner fire eating off those lead plates and wondering why everyone was sick and dying all the time. Then they figured out it was the lead.
We’re ALL born knowing exactly SHIT!
If it WEREN’T for our curiosity, we’d be a species of fucking door stops.
Your lack of it represents an evolutionary step backwards.
Armed rebellion ALWAYS serves the interest of the Banksters and the monied/pirate class. “Buy while blood runs in the streets”.
Ben Franklin is a good example of masonic agents of the empire. If you have not caught on that DC is a complete masonic operation down to the layout of the streets and landmarks by now, you are not trying to understand who runs this country. Nothing has changed.
You will never sell Trump or RFK, Jr. as being on the side of the people to me, that is beyond laughable as to be insulting. And as for people losing their shit over their 401k vaporizing, that is a good lesson as to why you don’t trust banksters with your money. TRUST me you will come out of the situation with more assets if you just suck it up and go on than to choose armed rebellion. Dying for the benefit of banksters and joos is not only a deck stacked against you, it’s also as stupid as it was at any other time in history. I can absolutely predict the the winners of the rebellion being pushed on us and they will never be on the battlefield/nor their children/nor their agents.
Rational/logical truth telling usually gets down voted here.
every. damn. time.
What else can you expect when most are dumb indoctrinated sheep incapable of critical thinking ?
Upvoted BL. I see masonic symbolism everywhere. The district of criminals is loaded and lousy with it.
Armed rebellion is the last choice of anyone thinking logically. If it comes, it will come to us in the form of physical gun confiscation. We will not start it. “From my cold dead hands and all…” How does one come out of this with more assets if we just suck it up? Also, what is “it”?
Grace and peace…
It would take an infantry brigade just to disarm some small rural towns throughout our country. They would pay a hefty toll that’s saying they dont go over the hill. All they have is illusion to scare us. It ain’t working no more.
Yep, BL. Slavery if we do nothing and rivers of blood if we rebel. Right now I’m doing nothing but keeping my broken toe elevated and dealing with hip replacement issues. May as well shoot me like a lame horse.
Mary- Southerners born in the last vestige of the “Old South” will tell you, I will tell you, rebellion will get you BOTH slavery and rivers of blood. The south is STILL being reconstructed, enslaved, and bullied by the north. This is playing with fire that could take several hundred years to recover if ever due to advanced technology.
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Welcome to the Devil’s daisy chain. Would you like some lubricant with that?
MC, take one or two of the local communists with you if SHTF. Everyone should do his part.
That’s the plan I hope I don’t need but it’s always in the back of my mind.
Got medicinal herb?
Yep. It was an inspiring article which is needed but just what they want (they handle the ‘revolutions’).
I think this is the way.
If enough do this there is nothing they can do. There would be a few examples made, just like in the plandemic.
Let’s see this preached instead of get your guns out (although being ready is good).
Many who preach revolution complied with most of the Covid crap (perhaps only not the vaxxx) but I’m supposed to believe they will fight? Why wait until you’re backed ina corner?
Have you changed your life so it doesn’t happen again? That would be uncomfortable, but yes to revolution?
We took the kids to Gettysburg last month. It was probably at least as much inspirational and educational for me as for them. I love learning alongside of them.
Svarga- The CW was a 100% masonic operation, the deck was stacked against the south BEFORE the war started. The high level mason Albert Pike ( Yankee Bostonian) was making major decisions in our ranks and that masonic wolf in confederate uniform helped to asset strip the south in every way possible. You are starry-eyed to believe otherwise. Battlefields are testament to how we are sucked into fighting for hidden agents and glorified in history book until the next war to use the proles as fodder.
** Not my DV Svarga- I expect DV’s for telling the truth .
I don’t know much about the Civil War at all. Will get together with Archie to tell me the truth some time soon. Until then, it was just nice to spend some time with family and learning about the story as is being told to the masses. I didn’t know the significance of the Gettysburg battle, and I also thought that it went on for months (given that my history knowledge stems from European wars, and the trench wars of WW I – talk about major gaps in my knowledge).
You can be my downvote buddy! 2 for each of us.
The reason YOU don’t KNOW history, is
you are another stupid, arrogant American.
Archie Bunker?
Our most worthless war, IMHO.
Many in the South never recovered.
Others recovered after about 100 years.
“War is a Rackett”. (Major General Smedley D. Butler). All wars are started by the owners to have the slaves kill each other.
And at the same time increase their power over the ones left alive.
Being made non-citizens is good… It means we have NO rules hindering us….
We were screwed bigly immediately after the goat humpers got those F-15’s.
Great article! Very stimulating comparisons.
Only at the end a small clarification is needed, as
“Strauss and Howe provided four possible outcomes to the current Crisis, each more dire than the next. I now believe this outcome is the most likely”
I cannot see what the ‘this’ is referring to.
Democracy has never existed anywhere. It’s just a plot to pacify the masses by giving them the illusion of choice.
Iroquois Nation. Also works at the village scale with a theologically aligned, mercantile class.
This article does a great job painting the walls and hanging the drapes on 4th turning we are living thru today.
Thanks for writing that Admin.
Until you realize that you exist for the sole purpose of slaving for the owners of the system and to bring a new generation of slaves to the farm, (after which you are eliminated), you will keep living in a fantasy world created in your mind by those who you slave for. You will keep being subjected to all forms of propaganda designed to deceive you till the day you die. It’s time to wake up!
Call me when Chelsea Clinton shoots another human being up with a gun in battle instead of a hypo vaxx. Ha!
None of the “players” nor their children or employees/agents will be on the field of battle , they should be made to be first on the battlefield including banksters, don’t hold your breath lest ye turn blue and die.
And why do you think that is? It’s because the owners of the system have throughout history used a very special class of human psychos and sociopaths to help them manage the herd. For this, they have been highly favored and rewarded.
First the priestly and royal classes, and more recently the political and corporate ones. Kapisch?
Anon that is what I was saying, but thanks for putting in the extra effort.
Which leads me to a question for Admin, why so exuberant about a armed rebellion/revolution?? Do we surmise that YOUR three sons will be first to rush to the front line as grunts to fight the commies? Will you join them there as a older senior “For The Cause”. Uh, huh.
You won’t have your sons get the poison vaxx shot but you would see them dying in a orchestrated bankster rebellion, for what purpose? This time IS different, it’s a ginned up masonic operation (which is (((the club)))at the core) for asset stripping with a LARGE order of depopulation on the side. That is the difference, mass depopulation INSURED.
Be careful what you stir, you have a lot to lose just like the rest of us and this time minions will be shocked that they garner no favor.
BL, no pun intended, I respect you don’t seem to be a firearms enthusiast. The last thing I want to do is start shooting people. If the only recourse , live by the sword , die by the sword. That being said I keep the old WWI and II vintage rifles cleaned and accessible just in case. I also practice with them frequently in a friendly environment of recreational shooting. I normally shoot by myself or with my wife. I have a “thing” about being around others discharging firearms. That being said I do have a friend that informs me his 300 yard range is set up so bring my Mosins and lets see how the Russian surplus 7.62x54R performs at the 300 yard mark. I may not even be able to see that far with open sights but I shall see.
Tex- I never discuss firearms here, so yeah, I don’t seem to be an enthusiast. My vision is so bad, I couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. What was your point?
Confederates shot a lot of Yankees and we are still paying for playing along with “the plan”. I am not opposed to guerrilla warfare by unorganized bands working in a single goal toward victory, if you understand my point.
Tex- I will say this, at one time there were quite a few Mosins within the family. Not sure how many are still functional and some spam cans of ammo. Hardly anyone I know tells what or even if they own something.
Just to be clear
Back in the day Mosins were cheap, 50 bucks or so. Not my cup of tea.
Flawed design. That’s why they discontinued production. They still make AK 47’s don’t they?
Basically bolt actions were replaced by semi to fully automatics for military use. Mosins were first used in 1891. They are still in service today.
AK appeared in 1949 and of course still manufactured.
Americans are naive. Ben Franklin, George Washington were Feemasona (satan worshippers). Their intent was a NWO. So America was off to a bad start. Many of today’s leaders are Freemasons. From Municipal to Federal.
Historical fact and easily researched if you can get past your public skool edumacashun.
Liberty, freedom and personal responsibility are principles that this republic was built upon. The idea of limited Govt just big enough to prevent our exercise of freedom does not interfere with the exercise of freedom of others. The problem is what does the exercise of freedom and liberty look like in the hands of who is wielding this massive weapon.
In the hands of someone like SC Lewis or RC Sproul you have a world of disagreement but mutual respect and honor working within a solid moral framework called the Bible. Our founding Fathers referenced this idea often. This is the common ground for a functioning democratic republic, we place people in office to make decisions for us that are in our best interest, we want wise prudent selfless leaders based on moral principles in the Bible.
But liberty and freedom in the hands of corrupt people like Richard Nixon and the Keating Five even Joe Biden and yes Donald Trump. Leads to corruption of power and life because there is no moral limits (Pragmatism).
Lord Acton said it correctly, power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil (the love of power and control money brings; i.e. politics).
We have separation of Church and state because the state dictates religion it becomes religious tyranny. We left England because of religious tyranny (govt and church as one) Then the Puritans in the Mass. Bay Colony they set up exactly what we fled. RI was the true experiment in liberty and freedom, but died at the Constitutional Convention.
The truth is we are all evil, selfish and fallen. Our govt is simply a reflection of who we are.
Thus the endless establishment of Govt. the corruption of Govt. leading to the rebellion against that tyranny.
Is this endless cycle the fate of mankind or is there a greater hope, not in mankind and his repeated failures to govern himself, but a world governed by God Himself Jesus Christ and His return. This calls for the patient endurance of the Saints, come Lord Jesus. Is that not the end of the Bible itself? Read the last three verses.
1 Timothy 6:10 KJB… “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
Excellent. The words of Paul ARE the words of our Lord via Spirit inspiration.
Romans 8:22-25 KJB… “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
Come Lord Jesus indeed.
If you really expect him to come after he promised that to his apostles 2,000 years ago, I have some very nice real estate to sell you at a fair price. Let me know if you’re interested.
Do you know how long God gave mankind to repent, before the great flood?
You mean the great flood with which he drowned millions of innocent children and animals after creating them ? Wow, he sure is an almighty, all knowing and especially LOVING god, isn’t he? It takes a very deep brainwashing to get a person to worship such a monster! Congratulations for your wonderful sense of justice and capacity to think clearly!
The down votes only show how dumb most of the sheep really are.
“Come Lord Jesus indeed.”
Hurry the fuck up already! What is he doing up there?
Get your ass down here! We need you!
😄😅😂🤣
You are totally deluded. The bible has been used as a psyop by the owners to control and manipulate the naive, and small minded slaves. And it’s still doing it job as intended.
According to the bible, your Jesus told his apostles that god’s kingdom was coming back then. He told them that THEIR GENERATION would not pass away before everything was fulfilled and then the end would come. He also said to them that some of THEM would still be alive to see it. That’s the reason why he sent them to preach the good news of the kingdom! It was supposed to happen during THEIR lifetime duh! It didn’t happen then but you believe it’s going to happen today? Wow! Are people really this dumb?
Sure, liberty except for the slaves right?
The bible moral? Are you serious? Which bible have you been reading? The one I’ve read is full of moral inconsistencies and downright contradictions!

No…no…no…we don’t need no stink’en pitchforks or torches…That is history…We just just 2 Mill ‘Fiat’ reparations per Left Coast parasite!
That ought to start the live fire????
Lol, yeah, why don’t we just print everyone on Earth a trillion dollar bill and then everyone would be rich beyond their wildest dreams eh ? (-;Funny how obviously and patently absurd the idea becomes when you ramp it up to that scale .
Their plan is working. I wouldn’t mind if all the niggers ,liberals ,queers and communists left this planet for good.
Cliff- That was straight forward and honest…… I like that, we need more of that.
A UV for honesty.
Obsevation. Politicians in the USA are doing the same nonsense at the northern border as as happens in the Mexican border. Sending bus loads of illigals and dropping them off. When the illigals want to return, the Americans cry about Canada letting them back into the USA. America is a mess.. Conservatives ate confused.
any answer as to why some pages here continuously jump up/down on the screen, like this one is doing?
Maybe it’s your eyes?
thx for the thought, 12-stepper. I can imagine eyes dancing in heads at your meetings. But, that’s not it.
Nah , I am witness to the same phenomenon , i think some of us are under surveillance and get “F”ed with by web admins ,or whatever you want to call them , basically cyber political minders similar to political officers in the old Soviet Union . Its not that they are paranoid because we really are out to get them lol, and they basically deep down know they deserve it Godless bunch of petty tyrants that they are .
Like fluorescent light flicker. Good I’m not epileptic.
I get the same , I think it might be our overlord installed political minders trying to dissaude us away from such ‘anti Statist” subject matter . the Guy that says he thinks it would be a good idea to blow up physical structures up the thread a bit , would it be a stretch for me to suspect he could be a fed ?
This happens on my android phone sometimes….
There’s an old movie, from 1955. Rebel Without A Cause. Yes, plenty of causeless rebels about, but forget this movie’s contents & whether or not those ingredients prove the title. Throw out all that bathwater & keep the baby:
There is always cause to rebel.
I think it’s a necessarily wholesome part of daily life. Like germaness is next to cleanliness is next to declining rates of contagious disease outbreaks is … saddled & ridden by vaccine mfg’s claiming credit & mulct & the right to impose “for the children … which is all ya’ll domesticated ya’ll’s.”
If it’s *not* a part of most people’s daily lives ~ & it isn’t ~ then the red ink & other red liquids rise, getting deeper & deeper …
…so that when some number more of the “water? what the hell is that?” fish than usual rise to “rebellion” it’s really nothing more than a lure – “what the hell is that?” – they’re rising to. Too late.
(just as it was too late in 1776. The fish were weaponized, as usual. Moby Dick Around & Find Out. “don’t mix species, or metaphors,” the rulebook reads ….)
In Carlito’s Way pacino character tells penn character “You ain’t a lawyer no more, Dave. You’re a gangster now. You’re on the other side. Whole new ball game. You can’t learn about it at school & you can’t have a late start.”
Is that even the least bit controversial? Or is it just something some people don’t want to hear?
“Aye-aye, Captain Ahab” ?
When I first stumbled across your writing I thought this guy knows a lot about economics. Over time you’ve proven to be the finest living historical writer America has. I don’t know what to add that you haven’t covered more thoroughly and with greater accuracy. I’m in awe every time I read one of these.
I do believe in the good news behind this present dark cloud; that this too shall pass, that the truth will out, that most people are good, and that righteousness will prevail.
Keep writing these crucial observations for generations yet to come, they will thank you hundreds of year from now, in a better, brighter future.
You’ve obviously seen too many movies with happy endings.
Yep, please tell me how we are going to deport millions & millions of illegals who refuse to assimilate so we can hurry up and get to the ‘good news’ you’re referring to.
Flea was right. He was just too early in his prediction.
What did Fleabaggs predict? Honest question.
Replacements. He said it many times. Go back to his old comments.
replacements … “you can be replaced” ~ an old, semi-humorous ~ context ~ threat:
Ennui. Oui. We. What we? When we? Who we up & … stop.
You think I’m just playing around with words? I’m not. Believe that, or not.
Borders.
There’s a canal the “internal improvers” had dug across the isthmus of panama.
((Tax donkeys collateralized the construction so Dole & Chiquita could do better on the bananas they sold to those same tax donkeys. Old Gimlet Eye Gyrene Smedley Butler, MOH twice, helped out – & he said the fascists wanted to install him as dictator, after he & they toppled the FDR dictator.))
The finger-switch ‘borders’ of that canal pump the water in, pump the water out. The switches ain’t democratic, ain’t a republic, & neither are the fingers that toggle them.
Prima nocta. “First night.” If we can’t get them out, we’ll breed them out.” ~ Braveheart
Borders on the brain conveniently contain the breeding operations to the other side “of the borders.”
What fucking borders? Lines on paper maps? Like the lines on paper “money”?
How’s Scotland looking? All the fine speechifying by Wm Wallace, Robert the Bruce. All that carnage. For what? For who? For why? Borders?
Dunno what it’s up to nowadays. Seems to get more costly with time’s passage. The trickle of I-want-out-of-this-place citizenship-renouncers has to pay up to change the lines on that paperwork.
Human waves being pushbutton-canal’d north across borders?
Hold the line? Castle doctrine? Borders?
How many rooms under your roof? Meet your new boarders?
Cross the sleep border. There are no borders.
There are definitely collars.
And chains.
And gangs.
And cool hand lukes all over the place, outnumbered by however many are in “his” particular chaingang & even more outnumbered by strother martin midget-martinet switch-button types “just following orders” & cashing paychecks & stimmy checks & SS checks &&&& … “calling it your job don’t make it right, boss.” Boss: “I couldn’t care less. Get in the box, Luke.”
Borders are a tactic. In a strategy. That “good littles” have turned into a religion. Cargo cults.
Earlier tech walls, canal walls, included tariffs. Because it wasn’t yet possible to “offshore” to some other “border”dello. Yes! Pimps run these places. And pimps keep the competition out, one way or another.
Well, now offshoring’s a done deal. Hear that giant sucking sound? (Perot)
That was like the waters receding waaaaay out from the normal line. if you’ve seen vids of that tidal wave – the beachfront property suddenly extends like global warming cooked off hundreds of feet of ocean. Then it all comes inexoroaring back, & higher than ever before, too.
Them that work for the button-pirates, collude with them, revere them, vote for them, apologize/rationalize/excuse for them … etc … is the Pogo Possum tide.
& that ennui is legion.
In that tidal wave vid can be seen some guy who walked a chaise lounge waaaaay out to the new water’s edge. He was sitting there when the wave came back. That guy was standard issue “revolutionist.”
Wonder if he had a whiskey in his hand, too…like the boys what fought for “revolution” with sacred honor georgie lather-rinse-repeat wash•ington did. And then found themselves on the other side of the “border” from him+13,000 almost as soon as the “warrior-poets” Bannockburne’d the brits outta/merica.
***that wasn’t a revolution. It was a restructuring of the deal. a hostile rapeover. Some prostitutes got promoted to pimps. The pimp•le grew bigger & redder … & look there, white Camelot atop that hill. ***
Anybody know how much the father of this border’ello made when he sold the land that became the capitol? More than the Clinton bitch “made” off those cattle trades, certainly.
Weren’t for these American Eagles, the 70’s’d just be a hole in time:
Lots of problems with human nature…I get that.
Just like I am not an anarchist, I also do not believe in open borders. I believe in secure borders to protect from foreign invasion. (yes, I get the irony in the grand scheme of things.)
If the government is not going to do its job of protecting the borders and adhering to legal immigration laws, then the citizenry has to stand up to protect their own homes….which I very well know they will not.
Do you not have any borders??? YOUR home is not your border?? YOUR yard is not your border?? Can I come up to your porch and shoot up heroin and threaten your family?? I have the feeling that “borders” will be important to you at that point.
I DO NOT want dangerous cartels, rapists, diseased drug addicts, etc. in my backyard, my town, my grocery store, my gas station, etc. etc. Is that so hard to understand??? Does that make me naïve or stupid? No, it doesn’t. If you believe in anarchy so much then you should definitely support the resistance of allowing dangerous criminals near your home.
Human nature problems. Yeah. One of those.
In places where getting what you want, or at least some of it, was aligned more or less, with what “the leaders” wanted ~ & so was way-paved in tacit-implied-lied “social contract” quid pro quo’ry between all the enemy-of-my-enemy parties involved ~ & then confusing that with a defendable status quo is a human nature given.
But those kinds of status quo are always temporary. Just tactics.
What I know is … it doesn’t matter what I want. That applies to you, everyone else, as well.
Like it? Me either. Doesn’t matter. Simple reality – & not mine, or anyone else’s, to dictate.
I wouldn’t like living out of a rucksack. But if it comes to that, liking it won’t have anything to do with it.
Wave’s too big. You don’t get in the water. Let alone paddle out. (Yes. Did it. Learned.)
Unless death is the preference … better than a much, much smaller cage (as in the end of Point Break) – if you are cornered & out of options to move. But … Bodhi always had a particular deathwish. And he got it.
Or, the other day: you do not get into a tight ring with Ali.
Being able to move is key. Being moved along is … lock.
“Running” is shameful, or cowardice? Too many movies, fairy tales. All the roadwork fighters do ain’t so they can only do “damn the torpedoes – full speed ahead.”
Time or two I shoulda. Didn’t. Got the fiction beat right outta me. Frontal assaulting “superior” adversary – you’re just fragging yourownself.
“Open borders” has nothing to do with anything. Borders are constructions. They are not real – except as tactics in a strategy. Seeing them as you’d prefer them to be is a mistake.
As would be tearing south to defend those sand lines … if on the other side of that line (above it, too) will be military force – as seems most likely.
I’ve lived a lot of places. My home is me. Wherever I am. That’s the only border. Again, not a personal preference, I’d sure prefer more insulation than that, but it’s just a fact. And it’s a fact that applies universally … even as it is almost universally denied.
Which is why/where the Solzhenitsyn bit breaks down. Human nature again.
Universality always prefers the wrong side. It is always already in the gulag.
And an equation to ‘solve for’ not being “relocated” from the larger gulag that Howard Beale berated in Network to the smaller one Solzhenitsyn burned in that leans on universality ~ or at least a lot closer to it ~ of picking up pokers & meeting “them” at the door means what it always means: Warsaw ghetto, Masada, Waco, etc ad infinitum.
Means martyrdom. For symbols. For hope. For not moving sooner. For believing in borders beyond actual borders.
Because pokers at the door’s not the side universality lands on.
No /other/ leaders. Yes. That’s right. Just the one. Taking b/orders from any other archy’s an error. Even if it is hardwired in.
Those leo folks you’d like to be able to call will mostly be tied up on another call. You know which call.
So who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! ☻ And, alas, Phil Connors?
“Sarcasm?! Is that sarcasm?!” lol …
Okie dokie.
Hey, do me a favor….could you go rip down your fence (you have a dog so assuming you have a fence in your yard). Wouldn’t want your neighbors to get the wrong idea and think it’s a real boundary. That would be a mistake, right? Don’t forget to post pics too so I can see how this way of living is done. I have a lot to learn. 🙂
“Sarcasm?! Is that sarcasm?!”
Yes. There is a fence. Dog could jump it if she were inclined.
But the point, again, is that the fence-line is not under any offensive by ravening hordes.
(Not quite/completely true. Just relative context-wise, to what’s under discussion.)
Hordes that are apparently servo-mechs in a strategy that includes leos, military, etc … If I think I see that coming, & I still happen to be here ~ in funky, funky co ~ I will abandon the fence. Nothing inside this wire ~ except us ~ is that important.
Neighbors have nothing to do with what’s under discussion, right?
And none of it is really owned, or ownable – ordinary folk do not own real property, you know that.
They pretend to pay us & we pretend to work ~ soviet comrades ~ we pretend to buy it & they pretend to sell it to us ~ American version …
… so surreal boundaries continue to obtain surreal traction for the club I – & I assume you – ain’t in.
But just an assumption. That King Ranch down there, those folks might be in the club.
Good night, feisty.
Ok, thanks for admitting that you believe in *some* boundaries…at least for your dog. I bet it’s keeping out other hordes of critters such as coyotes, bear, & moose so to keep poochie safe.
(for realz on the moose…when I lived there we actually had a moose come down from the mountains and made its way to my neighborhood – got a pic of it peering its head over my fence. Can you imagine the destruction it would have unleashed on my dog had the fence not been securely in place??) LEOs came and tranquilized and moved it back to its side of the “border”. Whew…close one.
Anyhoo…I do keep a bugout bag handy, just in case you are right.
And, no, I’m not in any club.
Goodnight. Rest peacefully knowing you are behind securely locked doors – you are, right?? 😎
‘i forget’ could explain it to You to the 19th°
And You would still be waiting for Your Addadicktome appointment.
What happened to Louise?
Trying to be as smart & clever as i forget? Not working out well for you. Stop being a fool. I suggest you make that appointment for yourself.
Damn, feisty, is your birthday right around now? You’re like a bull with this bone of contention.
Stubbornness – the first, best, superpower.
Last place was 8000’. Woke one morning to find a bull elk stripping, killing, the peach tree (that prolly never would have borne). Those also stripped & killed some Aspen saplings, too. Fences were as lowest limbo bars – elk & deer danced right over them. But the bears just climbed them, broke them down. Found one of those, middle of one night, hanging onto a large seed-feeder until it was empty. No more seed, or nectar, feeders left out overnight after that. Or leaving the garage door open: mama, two cubs, middle of the day, helping themselves to the garbage can. And completely unimpressed by my shoo’ings. Does that make them more, or less, impressive? ☻
Early into that slot, neighbor trekked over (neighbors should always have to trek to get to you…) to explain the facts of local life to us. Especially about the bears. Special emphasis on their protected status. How leos don’t look kindly on rugs, & stew, being made of trespassing ursines. And how the people around there (most of whom turned out to be the sort that porch-howl at the appointed time for “frontline heroes”) were there because of the animal life & were on the animals sides in all things & encounters.
So I told him we had left out of Denver to get away from the animals & that if a bear, or anything else threatened any of me & mine, including dog, then dead it was going to be. Never saw that neighbor again.
(Same time, this neighbor wanted us to know the Eurasian collared doves are leo-deemed “invasive” & that I could blast them at will if I was of a mind to. Doc Milgram says blast the doves & the archists blast the doves.)
Meanwhile I live-trapped & relocated infiltrating field mice as a regular feature. I have nothing against wildlife being itself. Up to the point of no return. Waste not want not wanton killing for convenience sake … no.
Yes. But you know that locked doors are only security against lazy, low fruit-swiping criminals. And neighbors. Security, as real as it gets, is an inside job. Inside the borders. The actual borders.
You ain’t ever gonna out-stubborn me. ☺
*Bullwinkle.
Chris McCandless “illegally” “poached” (but Sherwood Forest is deep & dark) one of the king’s moose. With a .22. Not bad. But his first effort at meat preservation in the bush needed to work, & it didn’t. You get what you get. He took his shots. Hell of an effort. And a little too near Timothy Treadwell, maybe. Some learning styles are along lines of jumping in & learning to swim on the fly.
Who must some call? On their “cell phones”? (smile a selfie) The Call of the Wild. We’s all busted ghosts, soon or late – blink of eye, all of it.
Our girl’s an aussie. Getting older, too. Not as greased lightning as she was. Still plenty fast enough, I think, to herd a moose into a pot, if necessary.

Northern Exposure was fun
p.s. If you’re gonna be in all that down there, better to be among those who say “Remember, the Alamo!”
And good to remember that, if as some sources have it, a man who coins a phrase like “Remember the Alamo!”, does the McCain, goes into politics after getting war-stripe credentials, gets a city named after him … etc … almost certainly has crooked (bad dog legged) agendas of his own. Even the wiki page on him plains the sight.
Fine.
I’ll stare down all the invading moose and hope to make friends with them. If I get trampled, I only have you to blame.
Headed down to the crick to do laundry now. It’s pure bliss – you should try it.

When I was grown to be a man
And the Devil would call my name
I’d say “now who do . ..
Who do you think you’re fooling?”

I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
She loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And she loves me

(Stone…) Wanna see my smilin’ face

“But the point, again, is that the fence-line is not under any offensive by ravening hordes”.
NOT YET!
Ms. Abby, I’m so thankful I don’t live in the burbs anymore with all the 6′ “privacy fences”. Dogs? I have none but the neighbors do. Some have collars , some don’t. Some neighbors shoot trespassing dogs collar or no collar. Since no one practices “birth control” with the dogs one never knows exactly whose dog is whose unless identifying one with a collar at a neighbors house but then one might see the same collared dog at another neighbors house a mile away. No “dog control” here but I’m cool about it as this is where pellet and BB guns come in handy. I have yet to kill one single dog in 20 years at this local.
Cows, different story not that I plan on shooting one. My barbed wire fences are old and muchly tangled in a web of trees, gnarly vines of one sort or the other, privets that grow crazily invasive etc. This growth does form a somewhat impenetrable barrier for cows and humans as well. Even with natural “hedges” in the fence lines I do have to get out the old fencing tools from time to time and repair areas of the antique fence lines. Like last week cows on the loose and I had to replace about 100 ft. of a fence that does not have the natural barrier. Cows just “busted” on through. I like the gnarly barriers however and to clear these antique fence lines and replace with new fence would add up to way more than this cowboy makes so I improvise. I do wish the visiting cows had an owner that would be more attentive to his fences. I just try to stay calm about it.
Mending Wall
BY ROBERT FROST
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,
But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Your worst enemy has been inside the gates all along.
Yes your property is your border, but only till the real owners decide to take it back from you. It will happen sooner or later.
DAmn! Haven’t heard that one in forever.
Thanks!
Well, didn’t your kind replace the native population? Payback is a bitch!
We’re just pawns in a game.
See above, Svarga. I should have placed that reply here.
Yes he was, Abby. I have a reply from an email I sent him in Nov 2019 about this article. It helps to read the article first but not absolutely necessary. He didn’t put any paragraph breaks in it, I’ll do the best I can.
https://www.traditionalright.com/the-view-from-olympus-a-big-win-for-4gw/
But wait, there’s more. My question was “Is the author of the article right?” This ties in directly with the invasion at the border.
Excellent, MC. Thanks for posting that. I didn’t have time to go into detail for Svarga. This is perfect as to what I was talking about.
This has already happened to El Paso. It’s flooded and the illegals control it pretty much.
Wise man. My regret is that I only knew him for a very short time at the end of his life.
You’re welcome, Abby. It took me a bit to find it, but it was worth the trouble. I needed to read it as much as anyone. He was famous for closing things like that with “Glad I could cheer you up” 🤣
That was crazy shit to me 10 years ago. Now i is true. Actually I don’t think that paints a dark enough picture,MC.
When you are darker than Fleabaggs was that’s pretty dark.
Ya’ll realize Flea got 95% of his material/insight off Makow? I actually had to go back to reading Henry’s site daily after Flea went to his great reward. Flea and I rode shotgun in the threads and I miss him a lot.
I know, Bea. You two were like bookends and together you really livened up a thread. I miss him, too.
I doubt he got that particular info that I posted from Makow. I don’t read him daily, just once in a while. Makow is more into history and culture, I believe.
The Cartels already have thousands of people living here. Particularly in states that legalized marijuana. It’s not the big moneymaker for them anymore, fentanyl is. Even suburban highschool kids are overdosing on that crap. It’s a modern day opium war. They can make it look like prescription drugs so even a pharmacist can’t tell the difference.
Who is this we you’re talking about?
The Southwest is gone, America is no more. You must not have got the memo.
Earth abides and as long as we’re here, that’s something.
Sorry, can’t read stoicism…
HF- Does that mean NH is circling the bowl with everyone else? Are you packing your bags to leave this country? Wait a while and Texans will send several thousand migrants to your neighborhood.
Learn to speaky Spanish like the rest of us.
Again, I conform as much as possible to human nature and how it operates in the real world. I eschew manifest reality for a reason.
The Innuit rarely immigrate to Polynesia, or the Hutu to the Klondike. You might find an exception, but like everyone with an IQ above room temperature understands that’s an exception.
The Southeast was never a place for the descendants of the European peoples. If you decided to get rid of air conditioning tomorrow, the depopulation of Arizona/New Mexico/Nevada/Texas would make the current influx look like a trickle.
I am not surprised that most people are incapable of understanding even the most basic premises of the Natural order since so few people have ever experienced it except as a lark.
While it is very disappointing to see that so many would prefer to live in a constant and unremitting state of anxiety and fear about the future, after the last three years it’s clear that it may be the preferred state of mankind. We were designed for a life very unlike the current experiment in indolence and ease. Where no real resistance exists, the soul seeks it out.
I think I live in the best place for long term survival and happiness for my people. If the Llano Estacado is the hill you want to die on, all power to you, but there are better views.
What I find frustrating is to have to repeat the exact same sentiment over and over and over like a parrot because no matter how simple and clear you think you’ve conveyed you point, the same people who keep asking never seem to process it. It must be how some who works with the handicapped feels at the end of each day, only this and no more.
^^^^
This times 1000
All we have to do is look to the Appalachian Mountains
for the evidence of this.
Wilbur- Those who live on multi-million dollar farms with monetary backing and those who live in Martha’s Vineyard always feel untouchable and siren while folks like Texans are being shredded like a Clinton file dump.
There is great misery in the Appalachian Mountains dude, extreme poverty sucks. The above described people never wonder how they will make it to the end of the month. It’s like they are so detached from reality that they believe everyone is as peaceful and secure as they.
BL, …………
I was referring to this right here……………..
“The Innuit rarely immigrate to Polynesia, or the Hutu to the Klondike. You might find an exception, but like everyone with an IQ above room temperature understands that’s an exception”
“The Southeast was never a place for the descendants of the European peoples. If you decided to get rid of air conditioning tomorrow, the depopulation of Arizona/New Mexico/Nevada/Texas would make the current influx look like a trickle”.
When the Scot/Irish finally got their freedom, where did they relocate to ????????????
Yup , ground that felt like home………….
There’s poverty everywhere mister, even in upstate NY………
Even within 9 miles of one of the 3 most progressive cities in the US.
It was soooo bad, that there was a documentary done about them in the early eighties
Was that Anon comment from HSF, I wonder? The markers are there…condescending, arrogant, elitist, lengthy flowery prose to make a single point, & can’t see beyond his own world.
Sounds very New England-y.
Abby- He and (Wilbur) don’t have to make rent, they are a couple of happy Jacks.
Marry well grasshopper and your shit will be rose scented into eternity.
Careful there big boy……………….
This old man has worked full time since 11th grade of school,
And just like his father, and his father before him………
never got one I-ota ahead.
At 64 this saturday, I Still work, driving for a large farm in Up-state ny.
Why ??? because of misfortune I, lost everything I owned 6 yrs ago.
Thats the way it is, Ain’t bitch’n , lots of folk way worse off then I am.
So careful what, you say about whom…………..
Someday You, might meet them face to face.
OK, then at least one of you has had to make rent lately. Best to you Wilbur, keep on truckin’. 🙂
That’s my birthday, too.
63
Go Taurus.
You’re a regular genius, Gump.
I write how I write, take it leave it, same/same.
However you’re the one about to get overrun in your parched sandlot, not I.
And I had a spectacular day, zero Mexicans.
Oh dear. I always wondered how you got into the funny biz. But now I see it. Yes, indeed. That was hilarious. 😂
Unfortunately, there is NO WAY in hell the men in my life (relatives and such) will EVER step foot in New England as a resident. Not their style one bit.
So, yes, I’m happy you get to live a Mexican-free life. That is not in the cards for me, cuz ya know…men. Something different about them down in these parts.
Hope you have a great birthday. I hear the crotchetiness comes out more the older one gets. But I don’t see that in your case one iota. No siree.
Ok, well it’s been fun playing around the last couple of days, but need to resume my vacay. 3 months vacay. Can you do that trick ol’ farmer??
I went to Nantucket with my wife for the weekend in September 2009.
Last vacation I took. Planting the garden today, putting a roof on a neighbor’s house for my birthday. May sleep in Sunday if I feel like it.
Glad you folks plan on holding out at Nuevo Alamo, may the force be with you.
Didn’t DeSantis send some migrants to Martha’s Vineyard or was it Abbott? i forget
Yes Tex, they sent some migrants to MV and the Hoi Polluted proceeded to shite their pants and have a NIMBY meltdown.
What about que sera sera? I thought maybe you saw the “wisdom” in that (just reality, common sensed, isn’t it?).
The guy who was most S, seems to me, & so walked it as good as he talked it, was Epictetus. The others that get bandied most, Aurelius & Seneca, had way too much clay in their feet to keep up with the “philosophy.” A Stoic emperor & a Stoic attached to Nero is just too much ado ‘bout nuthin’ … same vein as “where have all the good billionaires gone?”
And the guy in Bastrop, who has made a career, or maybe a carrier pigeon, out of the “philosophy” is clay at least to his knees. Maybe more. Knees was as much as could be determined via email.
Doris Day? Prolly not an ounce of the stoic in her. But that doesn’t stop a body from singing about it. Same as it doesn’t stop anybody from talking about it, or talking it up, or down.
I’ve read there’s more than a dollop of S in the early Christian approach. It is there, easily seen, in some of the tales.
A fun read, fiction, that intros, & where I first heard the S/word (& thought hmmm, this sounds familiar) is Bonfire of the Vanities. Great title. Tom Wolfe. Maybe something to relax with on your vacation.
Oops! Not that Wolfe. This Wolfe: (but still, that great title … vanity is the disordering order so much of humanimal sir-yes-sirs! – & is much of the defect-in/defect-out of this e/strange/d place) ::
And *this* title reference is rare everywhere – even in TX. Tho not so much in darpanet, it would seem. ☻
A swatch, among swatches:
ain’t no missionary man. just exercising the thinker.
“The War? That was no part of the Revolution. The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.”
John Adams, in a letter to Jefferson.
Hey bogbeagle, why is your avatar a Springer Spaniel?
I love Springers.
I’ve stated the following here many times before: “All debates are rooted in theology, one way or another.”
And, in reading Augusto Del Noce’s “The Crisis of Modernity” he quotes some other philosopher’s translation (from French to Italian to English) as follows: “…at the bottom of politics is always theology”. So I took that as a confirmation.
Back then, the king and his subjects believed they were serving God by corralling a bunch of rebellious and ungrateful scumbags. The (U.S.) founding fathers believed they were serving God by standing against tyranny.
Today, Klaus and the Great Resetters believe they are serving humanity, and securing its (i.e. their) future, by corralling all those who would still stand for the U.S. Constitution and natural rights.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Who does Klaus work for, serve? He absolutely “serves” someone and rest assured, it’s not humanity.
Good one BL…

Mark-I looked really hard for factual content in that post before upchucking, Klaus be serving us human beans DYK.
Facilitating the 4th Industrial Revolution is serving humanity.
Do tell.
He serves the OWNERS.
Well Thought……,
Well wrote Article !!!!!!!!!!!!!
A whole lot of food for thought for…………..
This (5 days away) soon to be 64 yr old man .
OK, so when can we start taking them out? We need a leader who fully understands what is needed and who cannot be swayed by threats of violence or destruction. The first to go is the long arm of the law who are used by our government like cannon fodder with most being too stupid to understand what they have bought into.
As Dan Bongino has stated, “It just hasn’t gotten bad enough yet”. When it comes to discontent, it starts off slow, then quickly escalates into full blown confrontation thus it will become our Second Civil War. The author is quite correct, humans haven’t changed in many thousands of years and will do anything in their power to NOT CHANGE, believing that they must kill to keep the power they stole. PATRIOTS our time has come and we either ban together and fight the good fight or die separately being picked off one by one.
We waited too long.
End of story.
Normalcy bias.
Sorry, I don’t think you can do that comparison.
King George, Lord Dartmouth, General Gage, and all the others (from both sides) were men with honor, integrity, and intelligence.
Biden, Schumer, and Miley and pretty much all their ilk are dishonest, vile, cock-sucking psychopaths with no heart, brain, or soul. Factual.
I’m guessing that you enjoyed the coronation of the honorable Kang Chuck the Turd last weekend, Brit royals and the peerage are some real righteous dudes. (rolling eyes)
Tell me that was sarc…..
“We certainly aren’t going to vote our way out of this, as both parties are captured and corrupt.”
Well, Administrator it is better that you and most others around here faced the obvious too late rather than never, I guess. It gives me more joy for all the zillions of down votes I got for years trying to get you to say it and believe it.
But it is useful to remember that when realism could have given us a chance years ago you endlessly showcased the “fake elections and fake conservatives will save us” delusion salesmen like James Kunstler and NYT globalist shill Alex Berenson (who rages against the death jab now that the damage is already done BFD – but worships WW III for Nazis in Ukraine so the US can be permanent step-and-fetch-it to Schwab’s global Nazi WEF). And you showcase those fake-resistor, hopium delusion-peddlers right up to this very day.
Now, at last, your mantra is “take off the gloves, the fight is on” but you still harbor delusions about what we are up against.
You quote Jeff Shaara to sell the fiction that when tyrants outlaw complaining about their oppression,it is some sort of guarantee that they are finished (““a dangerous thing for any state to maintain its power by plugging up the vent of complaints, stifling the voices of the people. When complaining becomes a crime, hope becomes despair. He finished” ). And sometimes under perfect conditions and epic effort that miraculously comes true.
You neglect to mention that throughout human history, the tyrants almost always win, their losses are temporary and freakish exceptions, not the rule. And you fail to mention that the tyrants in DC who outlawed the 10th Amendment and provoked Civil War in 1860 WON UNCONDITIONALLY and COMPLETELY – and they are infinitely stronger and have far more control over the serfs TODAY than they did in 1865. This fact about the Civil War was aptly chronicled by dad Michael Shaara in “Killer Angels” . It was a war that was initiated to enslave ALL states and ALL Americans in COMPULSORY union under DC control and forbidding secession for ANY reason EVER and NOT about emancipation of blacks – an issue tacked on later to win the 1864 election. That 1863 proclamation is a far cry from Lincoln’s 1860 pronouncement that he would gladly enslave blacks forever if it meant preserving all states in the union. By contrast, before the war began when Robert E. Lee inherited slaves from his father-in-law he immediately freed them and found them jobs in the north. He was recruited by Lincoln to lead the Union Army but chose the south because Lincoln “invaded my country and my home (Virginia)”. Well, all of our homes are invaded by the DC tyrant now.
Your post is a nice baby step toward realism Administrator, even though it is too late to really matter. And you are dead-on correct to invoke Josey Wales that the only real answer for anyone with a soul and a will to win has to get “mad-dog mean”.
But the next step is to honestly assess the correlation of forces [COF] arrayed against you and of those on your side.
Here is where the ‘American Revolution’ analogies are a step backward. Human nature is the same but the battle-readiness of this bunch today is light years apart from that.
We are now a collection of; 1) CIA-media brainwashed zombies who will kill or castrate their own kids if Joy Behar tells them to: 2) country club republicans who suck Lindsay Graham’s WW III-for-Klaus-Schwab-Nazi knob and who worship election fraud and infinite welfare-for-the-King-GeorgeIII-elites and 3) millennial dweebs who are addicted to staring at satanic and degenerate images on video screens and who think food production is pressing an UBER button to pick up a Ceasars pizza.
The enemy COF? well, you are quite right that the modern Schwab-Nazi rendition of King George III agrees with the original king that “A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me.” . But that is where the similarity ends.
The modern king of the Evil Empire enslaving us can mute, censor, de-monetize, SWAT-team crush or drone-kill any human- or all humans – on the planet with the click of a computer screen button. And their media monopoly over 100 perecent of what the serfs see, hear and think guarantees that 99.9 percent of all humans will be rabid loyalists to the new globalist King George III and his evil lies DURING the impending state jihad against normies.
The saving grace of the patriots of 1776 was the Atlantic ocean. They had huge space and time between them and the tyrant’s base of operations. That means that fighting here in the US against the new King George is like George Washington trying to start the American Revolution by attacking Buckingham Palace. BAD logistics.
A good next step would be for you to stop worshiping frauds like deep state Alex Berenson and instead to teach here that the US will dissolve into Mad Max hell when the Ponzi implodes and it will never recover or exist again in any recognizable form. And the odds of surviving (or even WANTING to survive) here in a 5 Eyes Nazi location like the USA are near zero.
If the ‘good guys’ win this time it will be from a ‘colony’ far removed from 5 Eyes Nazi-land. And it will rise in a location and a culture where people have been hardened to poverty and suffering already, and who have been compelled to develop the good aspects of human nature that create resilience and real-world accountability and self-sufficiency. America’s degenerate children in adult bodies who are shocked into rabid-brat-mode by what is soon coming are not a good recruiting ground for a new continental army that could beat Pee Wee Herman much less the globalist satanic Goliath we face today.
This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is a good and proper RANT.
We may not agree with all of it , but this is how it’s done , take notes.
“” This fact about the Civil War was aptly chronicled by dad Michael Shaara in “Killer Angels” . It was a war that was initiated to enslave ALL states and ALL Americans in COMPULSORY union under DC control and forbidding secession for ANY reason EVER and NOT about emancipation of blacks – an issue tacked on later to win the 1864 election. That 1863 proclamation is a far cry from Lincoln’s 1860 pronouncement that he would gladly enslave blacks forever if it meant preserving all states in the union “”
This needs to be On Billboards all across this country in ……………….
Big ole Black and Bloody Letters……….
TEN FEET TALL !!
M. Shaara was your dad, Wilbur? A noted CW fiction and science fiction writer……you must be proud.
You actually included the word dad, so I assume that is your dad. You are right, the CW was never about slavery.
Your “READING Comprehension” skills off a lil bit today big boy ????
You do know what >>>>>””””””””” <<<< means right ?????
Or do I need to write """QUOTE"" In BIG LETTERS ???
Forgive BL. He’s a little slow-witted. But he is easily triggered by any mention of RFK Jr.
Perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me thinks you confuse truthiness for triggered, but funny none the less.
Not the only one here that sees no value in ultra liberal DEMs.
So ,why exactly are you cheerleading for the DEMs now?, serious question.
**** And he calls me slow -witted? I’m not promoting a liberal DEM while at the same time attacking liberal DEMs f’ing up the country. Good Lord, are you sure you didn’t get the shit shot……or two?
Next you’ll be asking me to embrace Bernie Sanders.
BL. Can you really be this stuck on stupid? Becoming a troll would be more dignified at this point.
Ok Forrest, there is this thing that runs the Nazi deep state called the Uni-Party, they wear R or D or I patches to fool brain-dead hopium junkies like you, but they all vote and think and plot exactly the same way on the key issues and at key moments that actually decide how the world works and they take bribes from the same sources.
Mitt Romney, Nikki Haley, Lindsey pedo-boy Graham, Bob-Luntz-rammer McCarthy, McConnell etc,.. all suck Schwab-Nazi globalist/BigPharma/TBTF-grifter/WWIII-zealot knobs just as hard as Biden and Schumer (and Bernie does too!).
RFK Jr., in noble contrast, tells the Schwab Nazis in the Uni-Party to go shove it up their ass on many key issues (like those listed above). That does not mean he is a viable ‘solution’ to the baked-in demise of AmeriKa, but on a satanic “corruption-War-and-world-government-is-God” scale (10 being full-Satan) your R leaders like Romney get a 10 with jumbo horns and tails to match. RFK gets a 5.
Which makes him a far more admirable, valuable and authentic character than idiots like you who suck satanic R deep state knob pretending it is a lollipop.
Fake party labels and fake elections and fake platforms don’t mean sh*t dufus. You ARE DEFINED by what you actually fight for and what you fight against, not what you say to fool the BL clowns of the world.
Crash that is some really lame shit you are selling. When did I ever cheer for a “party”…..never. Who screamed “UNIPARTY” louder than me…..nobody.
Blowing RFK proves you are a sucker, same as blowing Trump who was to be the savior. You’re a sucker and one of your ilk is born every second, that is our problem.
Then stop sucking globalist republican dick BL
BL
get your head out of your ass, the dad reference was to distinguish between the sharp dad Michael Shaara who won the Pulitzer, from the more famous but more clueless son Jeff.
Michael Shaara is JEFF Shaara’s dad. Unfortunately, it was Jeff who Quinn the Administrator based his article and has pinned his hopes on. The distinction is key.
Michael was the better writer and far better historian who got the essence of the civil war conflict and, more importantly the long term implications of the DC victory, which Jeff Shaara and Quinn can’t figure out.
M. Shaara was a fiction writer ,Crash. I don’t read or give a shit about fiction, I read all the dystopian fiction long ago because I saw it as prophecy.
*** BTW Crash, CNN has gone full retard for Trump, it is reported the staff went into meltdown. This is mental warfare and I’m going to say what I damn well please . If Admin wants to throw me out, so be it.
I know that you are an unstable lunatic BL but lets walk you through this .
All of the Shaara’s write fiction or ‘conversational history’ as they put it.
Michael got the history right and his (successful off of his father’s back) son Jeff did not. That is the key point dumb f*ck.
And neither you nor Quin the Administrator can get that through your thick skull. You are classic examples of those who double down on stupid because “everybody i hang out with does”.
The Hitler’s and the Mao’s of the world are created by c*nts like you
Oh, that’s why Christianity spread across the Roman empire!!
You really are the typical guy stuck in his realism/rationality.
And it doesn’t allow you to develop the required humility, to find the only way out of this, which doesn’t lead to nuclear annihilation.
Tyrants always win. Sometimes they opt to make the peasants believe that they’ve won in order to apease them. They even start and promote revolutions for them.
This is the finest piece Jim has ever written !
This might be the most powerful intellectually savvy description of what is happening now in the context of history that I have ever read. We at Carnivore Trading applaud you for this. We have been told to shut up, to not talk politics, to not point out the obvios scam of the pandemic, the power plays using “emergency poers” of the overlords, we have been told not to point out the abuse of power of our government. We have endured the attempts of our neighbors and others to cancel us, harrass us, destroy us. We have been called names, excluded from various gatherings of friends and families, we have been harrassed by our own families – this government is acting to get us into wars, divide families, divide people. Those of us with means have left the blue states for red ones. I am one of those that have relocated and I’m not alone. The country is on the precipice I fear.
I was glad to see you included some Robert F Kennedy JR. content because he truly interests me – he is someone that this conservative can relate to – and even vote for…his message is powerful. Common sense could resonate with a huge part of this population.
RFK will take all guns away given the chance and shove green everything up your ass and down your throat.
Other than that, what a bitchen’ guy!
Anon- Interesting that we have a ULTRA liberal shoved at us for POTUS consideration and then told we need violent rebellion to fight ULTRA liberal/commies by both a conservative/libertarian leaning site AND RFK, junya the ULTRA liberal who says we need a revolution.Gaslight our ass into oblivion, we don’t mind. Please, either admit being a commie and go DEM/liberal or stick to conservative ideology but it CAN’T be both.
BL get it through your thick skull – the DEM elites, R elites and WEF elites who run the US-EU and 5 Eyes countries all worship the global Nazi economic and political system driven by Schwab and his WEF dyed-in-the-wool Hitler zealots like Soros and von der Leyen.
You can’t even identify who runs the show and who is ushering you into the oven. It is Hitler part 2 not Mao part 2. Google, for example, is a CIA-created and managed monopoly that operates OUTSIDE of government (to confuse idiots like you) as a senior partner of the government. Exactly Mussolini’s definition of Fascism. FOX lets you dis AOC but if you criticize paleo-Hitler-employee and uber Nazi George Soros on FOX you get your mike cut off and get chucked out of the building. Do the math idiot. The WEF runs the show. AOC is the sideshow.
The leader of the WEF-Nazi extermination campaign against ‘useless eater’ unter-menschen is PFIZER and it runs the CDC, the FDA and the NIH (and funds most of their budget) not the other way around. And who sucks Pfizer knob (and poskets their bribes)? All the R and D leaders and all WEF-connected pols worldwide. The Nazi wolf is at your door and eating you right now. Maybe you ought to focus on that and not just on the Maoist wolf waiting outside to get some of the table scraps.
Crash- I came into this place preaching the truth about Nazis, I was well schooled when you were prolly in diapers. Believing ULTRA-liberals will save you shows how truly lost you are. Who’s head is stuck up who’s ass. Nice try, no cigar.
BL – So, your pitch is a guy who worked in the Reagan Administration is a an ” ultra-liberal” – nice try dumb fuck.
I lobbied against the Left before you grew a dick, I just know that fake conservatives – like you -who suck Satan’s d*ck are much worse. I lobbied against Bob Dole and Joe Biden (who were insanely best friends in the Senate by the way) before you sent your first idiot screed here, probably by several decades.
So, suck Satan’s dick BL, but palming it off on me is lame.
BL . it is very simple. You suck R dick and let them f*ck you up the ass.
Then you blame me and all who do not suck delusion knob for noticing this fact.
RFK – Orange Hair – NaziRomney, none of them of them save and most of them will destroy the 5 Eyes Nazi countries – especially the USA.
Do I have to spell it for you in crayon like i do to Quinn retard!
Really?
Boomer.
Saying this as a boomer.
4th turning rebellion my ass!
Americans are just too damn dumb to know they’re on the chopping-block and – even if they did know! -just too lard-ass lame to actually do anything about it!!
😂
Ivor – Unfortunately you are exactly right. Sad to see.
The factor IS whether or not abled-bodied men will defend the border. It is the proper reaction before a discussion on Revolution.
The outcome has a positive human nature core, whereas the result of a Revolution occuring as a discussion piece with the border (even cracked) open is a pronouncement of the nasty side of human nature.
“As president, Washington earned a salary of $25,000 a year, according to the official museum of Washington’s estate in Mount Vernon, Virginia. That’s the equivalent of $728,300 in today’s dollars, per inflation estimates. He also owned over 50,000 acres of land in total.”

Sobering and inspiring. Many thanks Quinn. A small token of support $50 on the way via PayPal.
they’re sprinkles, not jimmies.
This thread so far reads to me like circles and circles of talk citing repetitive historical battles and proposing more repeating tactics, all of which failed over and over in history for eventually rubberbanding back to the same parasites with the same upper hand. All those hard fought battles may have seemed courageous but all of them were fought ‘by the rules’ of the ‘system’. That means the only possibility of a circle severing chance is to do something that hasn’t been done before.
That different thing is to make the parasites impotent by quitting playing their game their way in their system.
Admin/Jim, have you read Handbook For A New Paradigm by George Green?
This possibly only way out and why is spelled out.
https://dn790006.ca.archive.org/0/items/georgegreen1handbooknewparadigm/George_Green-1_Handbook_New_Paradigm.pdf
Bottom line, fighting from victim consciousness is a guaranteed losing battle. Using the parasites’ system/rules to fight them is the act of presupposing giving consent to their system right out of the box. That’s a stance from victim consciousness – so is attacking, resisting, arguing, complying, repeatedly buying/propagating/not calling out lies, etc.
But withdrawing attention from them and toward a new without them is using Natural Law from a creating, not victim stance. The good news is that a time of chaos is especially ripe with opportunity for change that disarms old paradigms.
IOW, we’ll see who the bands of new courageous will be who will admit ‘the system’ can’t be fixed and find much better ways to spend effort.
…Science!
The Scientist
Brennanlemon Published 12/15/2008
“A scientist is conducting an experiment on how far a frog is able to jump. For the first trial he places the frog on the table and says, “Jump frog jump!” The frog jumps four feet and two inches.
The scientist takes out his notebook and writes in it, “With four legs, frog jumps four feet and two inches. The scientist then takes out a knife, cuts off one of the frogs legs and places him back on the table. Again, he says, “Jump frog jump!”
The frog now jumps two feet and one inch. The scientist takes out his notebook and writes down, “With three legs, frog jumps two feet and one inch.” The scientist takes out a knife again and cuts off another one of the frogs legs. He places the frog back on the table and yells, “Jump frog jump!”
The frog jumps one foot. The scientist takes out his notebook and writes down, “With two legs, frog jumps one foot.” He takes out his knife and again cuts off another leg. He places the frog back on the table and yells, “Jump frog jump!”
The frog jump 5 inches. The scientist takes out his notebook and writes down, “With one leg, frog jumps 5 inches.” He takes out his knife and cuts off the last remaining leg of the frog. He places the frog back on the table and yells, “Jump frog jump!”
The frog doesn’t move.
“Jump frog jump!!” The scientist yells a bit louder, but the frog still doesn’t move.
“JUMP FROG JUMP!” The scientist says screaming at the top of his lungs. The frog still does not move.
The scientist takes out his notebook and writes down, “With all four legs cut off, frog goes deaf”
Sounds rather ranine.
I preferred the “Jump fuckers JUMP!” during the last banking crisis.
” during the last banking crisis.”

Next thing ya know? some dude named s.b.f. will be in the headlines.

“White hot seething vengeance fueled rage doesn’t even begin to describe what I (and millions of others) have boiling deep inside us that we for now are somehow still able to conceal behind a smiling face. ”
When people like him will form a unified front with those that had their parents die alone in a hospital and those that now have infertile or maimed grandchildren, then something is going to happen.
I sometimes walk around Costco and wonder how many of those with the smiling faces are just hiding the seething vengeance. For now. Sometimes you can find indicators of it, like that guy with the FJB shirt that drives away in a pickup truck with a 2nd amendment bumper sticker. Other times, I suppose, the sentiment is well hidden. (I appreciate the mask wearers, because they remove all doubt.)
How many of the other people at Costco look at me, write me off as a suburban soccer Mom, and wonder the same thing?
” like that guy with the FJB shirt that drives away in a pickup truck with a 2nd amendment bumper sticker.”

“Thomas Paine never fired a shot during the American Revolution, but his Common Sense became the inspiration for others to stand up to tyranny.”
This article may well be your “Common Sense” equivalent.
Great job, sir.
Been a Minute, & prolly 6 mos. since dippin’ my toes in it, but there is STILL plenty of minutiae available on anything ya care to look for. 1st few i ran across just now:
“…Paine explained, “It is wrong to say God made rich and poor; he made only male and female; and he gave them the earth for their inheritance.” The idea that God had ordained some to wretched misery and some to opulent luxury turned Paine’s stomach.”
https://www.investopedia.com/news/history-of-universal-basic-income/
“…Perverse incentives also tear at social bonds. The now-defunct Aid to Families with Dependent Children program was notorious for encouraging families to separate. James Tobin, who pushed for a guaranteed minimum income to be paid to male heads of household, wrote in 1966, “Too often a father can provide for his children only by leaving both them and their mother.”

Van Parijs and Vanderborght call such incentives the “loneliness trap…”
NOT gonna bother to do EZPZ research, just enter his name and “universal basic income”
Espoused by many over time. Pure b.s. contingent on how ya see it, imho.

RFK merely scratches the surface,it’s the ENTIRE behemoth of gov.control that is the issue.The script has been flipped and rights conferred on those that NEVER had them in the first place.
Can I assume when the author refers to Biden’s intention, he understands it is really the oligarchs up the food chain who truly pulling the strings? I hope this is obvious.
A second point: I refuse to believe there is no hope of overcoming the supposedly all-powerful regime. That would be linear thinking that doesn’t take into account the capacity for shifts in consciousness to upend the game board, so to speak. I suggest a review of Lao Zhe’s Tao Te Ching. The weak can most definitely overcome the strong.
But overall, I continue to tremendously enjoy the Admin’s writings. Thank you.
I sent a link of the article to Jeff Shaara and he kindly responded:
“Thank you for sending. I disagree with some of your points, but that’s why we’re a free country.
I appreciate you taking time to read my book.”
Jeff Shaara
Quinn –
Instead of worshiping Jeff, you should be worshiping Michael.
And the fact that you refuse to understand why you worship the wrong author is the reason that you do not know who or what your are up against in this era.
Michael understood human nature, he understood what the civil war was all about, and he understood where the results would lead us. You and Jeff do not.
And as a result you, and those who buy your stuff like BL, are a big part of the problem not the solution.
Go fuck yourself.
Free country? 😴
