TAE Summary :
“America is a corpse being devoured by maggots. The Democrats root for the maggots, the Republicans root for the corpse.”
Our beloved American Empire was both our doting parent and our bright eyed child but it died. It fed us, clothed us, entertained us, kept us safe and was our hope for the future, but it’s gone. We are now moving through the stages of grief associated with great loss.
Denial: It’s not true. We are still the greatest country that has ever been. We still have the strongest military and the smartest scientists, the greatest cities and most beautiful landscapes. We are the beacon of hope and everyone wants to come here. We are the shining city on the hill. We are the paragon of democracy. We are the indispensable nation.
Anger: It’s those damn Democrats. Their policies have ruined everything. In fact it’s the Republicans too. It’s the Uniparty. It’s the elites and the billionaires. It’s the Bidens and the Clintons and the Gates and the Zuckerbergs. It’s the Fed and the FBI and the MIC and the CDC. It’s the shoplifters and the homeless and the immigrants streaming over the border. It’s the Chinese and the Russians and the Ukrainians and the Canadians. A pox on all their houses.
Bargaining: We can fix this. We just need to drain the swamp, close the border and back our currency with gold. We need to fund the police and repair our infrastructure. We need to bring back manufacturing and support school choice. We can Make America Great Again. Trump 2024.
Depression: None of it is working. Gas is $5 a gallon and going up. Rents are skyrocketing. Groceries cost an arm and a leg. I’m afraid I’ll lose my job. I can’t get healthcare. I can never retire. My family is breaking up. My kids are all liberals and believe in BLM and socialism and drag queen story hour. The country is deeply divided and feels like it is on the brink of civil war. Maybe I should move to Thailand.
Acceptance: We are going to survive even if things will never be like they used to be. We can no longer consume more than we produce. We have hard work and hard times ahead of us. We can join with our family and neighbors in creating a better society with less materialism and more personal interaction. Time to join a church, get some chickens, plant a garden and learn to repair small engines.

We still have the strongest military and the smartest scientists…we are the pargon of democracy…
Cool story, bro.
In times of stress, people will cling to their mantras.
Author is clearly mocking that statement as a form of denial.
Military is weak and incompetent, hasn’t won anything since 1950 (Korean war) onward. We can’t even protect the borders. Churches are muzzled by the 501c3 and remain silent on issues and instead run social centers. Family or home church with likeminded. Stay out of gov. schools w/ the kids, and gov. corp churches condoning anything and everything some lgbtq, etc. and civic org. which are useless overall.
Actually the U.S. didn’t “win” the Korean conflict, hence, we’ve had a partitioned Korea since the DMZ was established and no brokered peace deal has ever been accepted by either side. Most conflicts, like the make believe war in Ukraine are huge boondoggles (think F35) and are only fought by the less privileged class, while the parasitic bloodsuckers, laughingly referred to as the “elite” continue to grow their fortunes from the spilled blood of others.

“The award was given to Katalin Karikó, a professor at Sagan’s University in Hungary and an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and Drew Weissman, who performed his prizewinning research together with Karikó at the University of Pennsylvania.
Through their groundbreaking findings, which have fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system, the laureates contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times,” the panel that awarded the prize said.”
This gets me in trouble when I say it so usually I don’t, but here goes anyway. If the American people want to know who to blame for this god-awful mess the need to look no farther than the mirror. The founding fathers gave us the means to keep this civilization on track. There is the ballot box and the cartridge box. We use the first so poorly that we elect grifters and morons for lifetime tenure at the public trough and never understand that what these vile pieces is crap fuck up is on our shoulders. We own it. We elected and re-elect them.
It goes without saying that the cartridge box sets idle while these elected pricks with near guaranteed lifetime positions conspire to steal away the one method we have left to control them but will never actually use. WE…WE are as useless as tits on a bore hog. We could change this but do not. We could stop this but do not. We…We, oh look, sportsball is on the TEEVEE and Arbys has a new sammich….
Before I moved out of SC I voted for Lindsey Boy because the alternative is a Socialist who now runs the DNC.
I now ask myself which was worse?
I voted for the grifter over the moron, the choice sucked either way. For those that say don’t vote, you may be correct except a POS will get elected either way.
Can I add ‘use a guillotine’ to Acceptance?
Its like going to play a game of baseball. You KNOW ahead of time, guaranteed. that the opposing team is not only going to cheat, they are going to rob you and have already got the win in place.
So no matter how well or hard you play the game, you WILL lose and walk away robbed and beaten. Why would you even think its worth showing up to play?? Why lend ANY legitimacy to an already decided outcome where none of it is in your favour or good for you?
When will the People wake up and not play these dirtballs games?
Don’t play, don’t comply.
Seems grumblings about online threats are being elevated by the media.
Yesterday, I saw Garland on CBS speaking in a fearful voice about all the violent speech….from the right….is online.
Pot+Kettle=Garland.
He seemed to be setting the stage for 24/7 armed security for activist judges.
The thing is, they are going to parlay this into special laws and protections for judges, attorneys, court peeps etc ….and using history as a guide one can see how via mission creep, it will one day be illegal to insult any public official [even the librarian]; with what is considered insulting to be determined by the official should he ever decide to be offended byanything said or done.
Right back to a Babylon/Haman environment.
I do not encourage the killing or harming of any government employee or politician for merely being a government employee or politician.
I do not encourage nor support kinetic action against any people engaged in peace.
Don’t be the guy actually TAKING,just that guys accountant……mmmmmmkay….
In my opinion it would be better to churn the elected criminals so they don’t have time to entrench. Miss Lindsey can’t be shaken out because he has had time to control the elections.
I have no problem with your post at all…as the longtime resident ‘Family and Friend Conspiracy Right Wing Nut’ since the early 90’s…Most of them are starting to realize just how generally right I was. One friend has confessed the consensus is changing on me within our circle…seems many who derided me (behind my back) for being an ‘ALARMIST’ and becoming a ‘GUN NUT RURAL FARMER/PREPPER’ offering them detailed warnings are no longer doing that.
Two unconnected friends have asked me (with worried looks on their faces) if/when TSHTF can they come and stay on my farm/compound and I told both of them no…my prep and homes are reserved for and prepared for family. Both seemed shocked when I bluntly told them that. One a single woman (who my wife doesn’t know that well) who use to cut my hair for 15 years is just not close enough to the family to remotely consider taking in. The other is a wealthy couple (25 year friends) with two collage age girls who I didn’t turn down directly but said if they preposition an RV that sleeps four, and stash all their own weapons and supplies, I’d be happy to have them…but that has never happened…they seemed shocked I put out those requirements…in an e-mail so there was no misunderstanding. So they will have to ride out Mad Max (for however long it lasts) in their high end burb home. (This is a super wealthy couple – I hope they are prepping at home).
For 30 years I pointed out the False Flags none of us were taught the truth about in schools, the poison falling from the TIC TAC TOE sky one engineer friend argued with me about that were harmless Contrails (he has since realized the truth) the poison in their water and food, 911 obvious lies – that WAR IS A RACKET! I gave everyone the exact history of the FED and who the creature from Jekyll Island really was. Most of the standard obvious TRUTH BOMBS we see here every day.
Warning them about Trump and his Warp Speed Bio Weapons, his self-admitted Kabballah training, and his string of Rothschild bankruptcy bail outs in the 90’s has not gone over well with many. Most didn’t even know what Kabballah was or who the Fake Boo’s really are….so I sent them the truth on e-mail.
I am not a sports fan…and most of the men on both sides of my family are consumed with that circus…especially football…many can tell you endless meaningless stats about their idols…and many don’t have a clue about true history or how most of the power centers of the country have been captured, and how their children and grandchildren are indentured servants on the cusp of being slaves…who could soon own nothing and be miserable.
Before I found TBP I would scour the inter net for ‘appropriate articles’ and forward them with my comments…now Admin supplies them in one location for me!
I sent dozens of footnoted ‘TRUTH BOMB’ books to family and friends…many now considered classics and decades if not generations ahead of their time. That has helped those who read them. On friend finally gave me seven or eight back…unread.
Long ago I started giving Silver & Gold to two Nephews (who I love like sons) and to my Grandson as presents. No matter what happens a serious PM legacy is long secured for my wife/daughter and my daughter’s family. They all have been educated with PM economic history…as well as fiat history, and have written instructions on what to do with it if I have gone home, and are not around to guide them.
At least I have convinced some to Prep in many ways, buy some PMs, and read some Truth Bomb books. I feel good about that.
But most are about to get screwed, blued, and possibly tattooed with more than just poison needles…I fear many will push one another out of the way to take the mark of the beast when it is offered…as long as it doesn’t interfere with the big game on the TV!
So much of what you wrote makes me know I am not alone.
“You can read to a horse but you can’t make him think.”
“Never teach a donkey tricks. It only frustrates the trainer and pisses off the donkey.”
Brad,
I know you can lead a lost, propagandized, brainwashed, dumbed down ‘American’ to the truth…what do you think I was and you were at one time?
IT’S A PROCESS NOT AN EVENT.
GOD was my eye opener.
He started the process.
Amen,Amen and Amen!…
Dude!….life story overlay !…….
The founding fathers doomed us to this bullshit in a myriad of ways. I do not hate my ancestors or my nation, but I do think it is dangerous to hold to past mistakes. I think federalism and secularism/enlightenment ideals were deadly mistakes.
Where do you get that “we” shit, Bob? Wake up. This shit was done to us, not by us. When did anyone have any choice or any opportunity to “change this”? Go ahead and use that cartridge box. See how that turns out for ya.
Promise bread a circuses and American voters keep voting them in. Promise protection and security with the same result. I been around a long, long time. They promise and “WE” vote but none of them ever deliver. They just take. Same two parties always in play. They keep a false dichotomy as an illusion to competition or opposing points of view when there really is only one, and that is their overwhelming avarice. Run a third party candidate and the uniparty screams in unison that you are “throwing your vote away,” when in fact the only real wasted vote was a vote cast for one of them. And still we only vote them in over and over.
I stand by “WE” as this fucking mess is self inflicted on the American people by the American people because “WE” are too fucking stupid to realize it. No one holds a gun to the heads of 150 million Americans on election day and tells them to vote for only Democrats and only Republicans. They proudly walk in to the voting booths and pull the handles of their own free will. God help us the stupidity is manifest.
Would add to acceptance list.
Lose the IDIOTphone and credit cards.
The author stopped short of the final phase: Mad Max.
“Acceptance: We are going to survive even if things will never be like they used to be. We can no longer consume more than we produce. We have hard work and hard times ahead of us. We can join with our family and neighbors in creating a better society with less materialism and more personal interaction. Time to join a church, get some chickens, plant a garden and learn to repair small engines.” … I was here 10 years ago. Where y’all been?
Yep.
But watch the opening scene of “The Outlaw Jesse Wales”, and see how that goes for you. They are coming. Like it or not.
A few things contributed to this lethargy are easy money…debt- and interest-based banking system (forbidden in Judaism, early Christianity, Islam); reserve currency status of the USD that enabled interest rates in US to remain low; jaw-boning the markets and economic stats by Fed Reserve Chairmen; hybernation of bond vigilantes; and obviously public school dumbed-down entertainment-seeking citizenry, godless popular culture and corporations.
As Yuri Bezmenov said 40 years ago 4 stages of changing a country to a socialist state…3 generations of socialist education has resulted in public wanting heaven on earth without paying a price (promise of communists).
Nukes will wipe the slate.
The Republicans are as much to blame for the death of our nation as are the Democratics.
Where are all the Republicans, and why are Republicans silent?
This is the PLANNED and DELIBERATE destruction of our nation by both parties.
“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or PROMULGATED (think the “border crisis”, the “fentanyl crisis”, the “homeless crisis”, the rampant “crime crisis”, etc…) that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil.
The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”
Every Senator, Congressman, President, SCOTUS, etc… is complicit in the demise of our nation.
“All nations that forget Got will be turned into hell.”
