Guest Post by T.L. Davis
I wish more people could see the United States Government for what it really is, a brutal organization seeking every means of stepping on one’s neck while they rip the wallet from their back pocket. What method of thuggery have they refused to utilize? A SWAT team descending on a local preacher or common welder who participated in a protest is not police work or law enforcement, it’s terrorism. It’s not fear of the preacher or common welder that dictates their actions, but the sheer terror they might strike into the hearts of patriots that they strive for. Kill one to terrify ten thousand is the maxim of the communist. How else should we view them?
In the simplest terms, they’re taking advantage of patriotism to enact and enforce the most brutal domestic policy since Stalin. Everyone knows some local cop who they conflate to the aggregate of copdom, but one’s intimate knowledge of one cop, good or bad, doesn’t provide testimony as to the rest. Cops, like everyone else, might be completely decent when alone, but become another animal all together when in a group, especially if that group feels threatened. To expect cops to act differently than the average person is to credit them with a level of evolution from the ordinary man that simply doesn’t exist.
The criticism of democracy is that it’s a mobocracy; two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner. I heard, not long ago some irrelevant voice taking up the cause of “our democracy” and criticizing MAGA for it’s view of democracy as just that. “Imagine,” he breathlessly exhorted the audience, “thinking of our democracy as two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner.” Is it not? Though that quote is attributed often to Benjamin Franklin, there is some question as to the fact of that just as there was in the last post concerning Nathan Hale. It matters less who actually said it, than that it rings so completely true. There is nothing about a democracy that is anything other than the majority ruling over the minority and the division can be as slim as one vote. That’s no way to run a nation and why any thought of justice must include the demand for individual rights as a shield from the greatest excesses of government.
As I wrote in Nine Principles of Freedom, the Bill of Rights are human rights. One cannot be free unless individual rights are defended with the greatest vigor. In America those rights were recognized by the courts, but that’s no longer true, leaving those rights to be defended by the individual. Unfortunately, patriotism and undue trust is still largely practiced by the average American in spite of all evidence pointing to the fact that the governments have worked their way around providing any power to the individual at all.
The idea of patriotism to just any form of government is the product of brainwashing. It must be specific. This nation is largely communist in form and function and that’s lost on the average patriot, because we still have private property. Do we? Do you own something that can be taken away without penalty or prosecution? The way I explained it to a prospective county commissioner and to my county judge, is that if I own a coffee cup, I will never have to pay another dime to keep it. They can’t say that about property. The response, “then pay your taxes.” But there are no further taxes on the coffee cup I own, the chair I sit in or the refrigerator I take my drinks out of. Those are things I own. A service, like electricity, natural gas and internet connectivity are different, they supply me with consumables. Land is not a consumable brought to me through wires or pipes.
We are not communist, because the government doesn’t own the means of production. Doesn’t it? The means of controlling all of commerce is available to the government through OSHA, clean air and water regulations, even, as we just found out, pandemics. Give the government a good pandemic and you will see what owning the means of production matters to them. They control the means of production, can decide whether gasoline cars or electric cars will be built. They can decide whether one power generation method is used, or another one. They can limit the amount and source of steel production by using pollution legislation. We don’t own our property, our cars, or our businesses. Right now, they are going after Trump’s business, charging it with fraud to destroy it, regardless of testimony affirming that he, nor his business entities committed the fraud, it was just manufactured out of the crooked DA’s office. Again, we get back to Lavrentiy Beria and “show me the man and I will show you the crime.”
Our current House of Representatives renewed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) again, with all of the woke and weaponized, the CRT, embedded in it by the previous congress, including the 702 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) provisions in tact. Not only has this provision been used illegally by the FBI to spy on American citizens (not foreign) 274,000 times, including the Russia Hoax, to manipulate the 2020 election and hold patriots responsible for their legal actions on January 6th. That was Mike Johnson once again suspending the rules, suspiciously after a long meeting with Paul Ryan.
I recognize that all of these politicians are the worst people in the world, that their word means nothing, that their lies are not counted, but weighed by the ton and I don’t expect very much out of them even in the best of times, but now, because of people like Mike Johnson (318) 840-0309 (one of his local offices) who is in a unique position to do some good, simply turned his back on the people. Another person, and I just called his office yesterday to ask him to vote against this, was Ronny Jackson (TX) (806) 225-3706. (also a local office) Jackson is very often on the right side of things, but he had a chance here to do something and he didn’t even vote against it. I know he’s a veteran, but this wasn’t the denial of military equipment, it was a statement that the people want a strong and focused military, not one concerned with the gender issues of its troops. He was in a position to do the right thing and he failed and should be called out for it. I will, but I am a small voice in a wilderness of louder voices. I will not let it go unaddressed, though, not in silence.
What are you patriotic to, then? People like Johnson and Jackson, a flag, a military, a congress? None of those things benefit from your patriotism unless they support the individual rights they are put in place to defend. I am patriotic to the idea, the concept of individual rights, from which everything good about America rises. This was a direct assault on those individual rights and more than that, it was a bill of consent for the FBI to continue this practice of surveillance of American citizens. That is a violation of everything to which Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jackson took an oath to uphold and defend. That vote was an act of treason. The Defense Department could be funded without those provisions and that’s what should have happened.
Despite my frustration with these politicians, I didn’t have much faith to begin with. I’ve worked with the state legislature and know what sort they are. This coming year, 2024, they will be guilty of bigger and more costly betrayals. They will not stop until this whole nation is submerged in the sewer of failed states and we’re going to have to deal with that. This is a communist state that we live in, where the Stasi do as they please and the politicians are free to loot the land, bankrupt businesses and drive the people into poverty.
It makes me sick to think of the freedoms we once had. Only a few years ago 90% of everything the government is doing would not have been tolerated. They didn’t even try this sort of nonsense, but today, it’s just how it’s done. It’s past time for us to stand up to it, to demand our rights be respected. It will have to get worse, I guess, and it will. Nothing will take the place of the common knowledge that anything they can do, they will do. Passing the NDAA under its current state was a big BFYTW to us. It demands that we examine our patriotism and by my figuring, respond in kind.

Exactly.
Spot on
I hate the sheepniggers almost as much as I hate the parasites !
Niggercock suckers are the worst, by far.
Were you parents siblings?
Were you parents both related to rabbis?
There are no lower forms of humanity, than people who judge people by skin color. They are usually complete losers, who have never been able to accomplish a single thing in life besides being born white, and living in a house with wheels….
Try your egalitarian bullshit in an all black neighborhood…say…in San Bernardino or Baltimore some night.
Go ahead, take a walk down Highland Avenue at 2 AM Sunday morning in SB.
You know another name for white people who find themselves surrounded by blacks in the hood and alone at night ?
Cadavers.
Jdog is your typical bitter old man waiting to die, thinks he’s a badass, poops his pants when he farts, can’t physically do shit to anyone, keyboard commando.
There are millions and millions of them. Eventually they will all be dead and the ones left alive might be jealous.
we judge you for acting like a deranged jew, not for whatever brown or sickly yellow cast you have to your skin
Loser liberals do it to White people every day as they call out our White fragility, White priviledge, and wish us White people dead or say Whites are the most dangerous people on the planet. Yes it is the lowest form of humanity to judge people by their skin color.
As for democracy; it is a pure democratic action when 100 angry white people lynch some poor, innocent black kid on trumped up bullshit charges. It is horribly wrong, but it is democratic in the extreme.
lynchings of poor, innocent black kids are nearly as rare as jewish ritual murders being libelous
You are right Jdog,except for niggers and sand niggers. Slants and spics can be civilized .
What about the non-white losers who judge people by their skin color? BTW, being born isn’t an accomplishment, but thanks for playing.
Really love to hear from the folks that say “I love my country but hate my government”
Well do something about it.
BUT ILL LOSE MY STUFF
I am so tired of the “if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem” bullshit.
Please share what you are doing to the point you are losing something and how the hell it’s actually changing anything for the better of the country. I will not hold my breath. All these big talkers around here….it’s fucking sickening.
Be ungovernable
What does that accomplish, besides maybe being thrown in jail? How would that make this country better?
Typical shitty answer to a legitimate question.
FAIL
Anon,
What if the prison system was overrun?
Were, not was . . .
Actually, were is grammatical. Was is incorrect.
Anon, that is actually a prescient question that does not have, in my opinion, a universal answer. I cannot make the country better. I cannot make one other individual better or worse.
Marcius Aurelius wrote that all a person can change is his own mind. I dropped both of the political parties, I watch no main stream news…ever, and do as pleases me away from all the other shit. I play here for fun and to hear other people’s thoughts and ideas.
No. That’s what niggers do.
Be SELF GOVERNING. That’s how God designed us.
Ungovernable simply means actively subverting those that attempt to govern us.
Niggers are uncivilized and don’t even know the concept. They lack the organizational skills.
The best they can do is organize along animal hierarchy, attacking those weaker than them. And you deal with them just like animals…
No answers to the question.
Shocking.
I guess I missed the question.
I didn’t see the que.
That being a question mark.
Maybe you could help me find it, anonymous shocked…
Central Scrotumizer: God didn’t create “niggers” ?
If he did I guess he fucked that up right?
If he didn’t, I would like to hear your thesis, I’m in the mood for a good laugh.
What others are or are not doing should be of little concern to someone focusing on their own personal efforts; With the exception being he who exhibits no effort or he who is seeking to improve his own efforts. How is it requisite to suffer loss as a result of those efforts?
I have news for you buddy…the hunter/gatherer, human brain comes HARDWIRED from the factory to “improve his own”.
Humans can’t help but to seek advantage. It’s in our DNA.
Why do you think humans do the same shit over and over all of human history and the world is so fucked up now? You would think at this point in time the human brain would have evolved to the point we would have our shit together by now, don’t you?
But no … humans come up with work arounds like religion to rationalize a world that we don’t understand and explain what happens when we die.
The truth hurts.
Everyone should be required to watch the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy at least once in their lives. Very instructional.
Fuck you, I know what you are trying to do. You are a piece of shit who is the problem. You need to fuck off and die.
See what I mean? You are trying to seek advantage over me.
That’s okay, it’s completely normal and has been going on since day one.
Some accept and deal with it and adjust their lives accordingly…others don’t.
I was not even talking to you idiot, use both your brain cells and try to keep up…
who can tell? you say it to everyone
^^^ THIS ^^^
LOL !!
Who are YOU trying to impress, tough boi?
I think that the easiest way to have a CORPORATE GOVERNMENT removed is to remove the bill that created it in the first place. If Americans knew that with the creation of the “Act of 1871”, they transformed a “Free” society into a Corporate entity, changed the organic US Constitution, authorized the ten square miles of Washington DC and created the US B.A.R. (Admirality Law) Legal system, so, if we were to demand the repeal of that one bill, this whole corrupt system would no longer exist.
All these anonyholes around here….it’s fucking sickening. There. FIFY.
A man has only one right as his gift from the creator: the right to be sovereign.
Sadly the average man is not minimally aware, intelligent or responsible enough to be capable of exercising that right or any extension of it.
Sovereignty requires responsibility. In order to be sovereign, you must assume responsibility for your life and your actions. Our society is not geared that way. They do not want to take responsibility for anything, they only want to receive benefits of a country that lives beyond its means by the exploitation of poor people worldwide.
They’ve been captured by strong delusion. There’s no helping them now.
Do the names really matter? It’s the behavior that’s a problem, not the specific belief system. And as much as that matters, 90% of the people who do the dirty work haven’t the intellectual capacity to understand, much less believe in these ideologies.
There is good and there is evil, that much we know.
Don’t evil. Even if you lose, right up until that moment, you won.
so forgive them because they do not know? or they dont want to know?
the reason I ask, the people I talk to, being private sector or government, all get mad at me,which tells me they know.
one is doing the fleecing, the other is being fleeced, so they get mad at me for different reasons, although neither wants to hear the truth
Names matter a lot HSF.
Ask RFK Jr.
90% is generous. What if the problem is ideologies? I’m trying to think of a situation where ideologies aren’t just constructions used to constrain another’s worldview.
Ideologies are intellectual constructs intended to gain power for a person or group. The beauty of our system (as apart from our practice) is that it was the first intended to give power to the people rather than the government. Prior to, and since, every ideology was intended to take power from the people and give it to an elite. Sadly, we are reverting to the norm at an ever increasing pace.
“intended to give power to the people rather than the government”
but it wasn’t
There is no need to understand ideology, there is only the need to be ethical and moral. So long as you do that the ideology will take care of itself.
Little of what you ever say is ethical.
Example: Kill all Jews…ALL of them, right NOW!
What kind of ideology is that? Hint: It starts with “N”.
How did that ideology take care of itself?
I never said kill all Jews you piece of shit liar. I said Israel needs to disappear.
Israel is committing genocide and 90% of Israeli’s support that genocide. That means 90% of the Zionists living in Israel are guilty of murder by their support of their governments actions. Therefore Israel, and the people in Israel need to cease to exist.
I haven’t experienced a degree of patriotism since the bicentennial. At that time I still believed the USSA was a force for good. Boy was I wrong.
For a few days after 9/11.
Then a quick return to the normal shit show, slow motion train wreck.
I pledge allegiance, to whoever is in charge, of the geographical area I am residing in.
…based on the threat of losing all my shit, having to move a great distance, or being killed outright. Some “pledge”. More like a declaration of surrender.
What is this ‘move’ of which you speak?
Alive under a new regime?
Or dead under the old one?
Those appear to be the options.
So lets say we are going to play a baseball game. The other team has the ball, bat, bases and has unlimited use of the field to use however they choose.
They make the rules and can change them at will while the game is being played. They WILL make changes on the fly to make the game unwinnable. Are you going to play anyway knowing they will cheat and make rule changes that ensure you don’t win??
Simple solution. DON’T play. No game. They can make all manner of rules and even make a rule that you have to play. You lose the moment you decide to comply or play the game.
Vote moar harderer, do it for the children… and democracy
The problem is the vast majority of people running this shit show were born on third base and they think they hit a triple.
Yep, thats fine. But if you accept that and play their game, by their rules… You’ve lost before you even get started.
Maybe a couple of general strikes would help.
The people are the country. The government is supposed to be the servant of the people. The government we currently have are an organized criminal gang, that have no allegiance to the American People…
Look what the US Government has done to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Serbia, Syria, Laos, Cambodia, Grenada and Vietnam as it tried to spread “liberal democracy”.
I have a Vox Pathfinder guitar amp, made in Vietnam, that I love.
Vietnam’s economy is growing and taking business away from China and Indonesia.
Until one realizes they have all of the freedoms thought to be taken away, only those freedoms have been criminalized by a criminal government, they will remain in a prison of their own making.
One rights are given to them by their creator.
Those rights can be transgressed on but not taken by other men.
Those that transgress your rights are the enemy of free men.
Those that permit these transgressions are their slaves.
All the complaints about how criminals run free while law-abiding citizens are hog-tied by the law begs the question: Who is free and who is the slave?
There are those that are unconcerned with the gyrations of the political show, unconcerned with the next AFT anti-gun rule, et al.
Those laws and regulations are for the law-abiding.
You know, the people who support the police (the state’s jackboot).
Everyone whines about how corrupt and criminal the government is and how to fix it.
One does not fix a thoroughly corrupted criminal organization, one destroys it.
The first step is to cease interactions with that entity.
This alone will brand you a criminal in the eyes of the state.
The second is to realize you are a criminal in the eyes of the state, and be the best criminal you can be.
With enough people’s support of the state withdrawn, and 3% actively subverting the state, its dissolution will accelerate.
Rights are justications people have given for fighting (in whatever form). Appealing to a Divine origin is just puffing it up. If you won’t fight over it, you don’t have it. Fight and lose, and you still don’t have it.
Getting too focused on rights can also put you in a mental prison.
While I agree with you, I made no mention of a divine being.
I merely stated your creator.
That may simply be your mother and father.
So I fully resisted puffery.
I simply tire of the claims that the state is “taking your rights”.
The state has always engaged in repression of the constituency (it has no ‘rights’).
When people realize they have the right to destroy the state, the very real mental prison you speak of breaks away…
ah, I’m so used to seeing Creator with a capital See
The only hope for the sheep is the Constitution, but more and more the wolves intentionally illiterate.
Hope is not a strategy and is the ugly stepchild of faith.
And Faith got all fat and tattooed and gross when she went off to college.
+ face piercings and green hair and drives an EV (that daddy bought) with “Co-exist” and rainbow bumper stickers all over it.
Nepotistic religious-cultural-political networks (khazarian, Islamist, red dots) for the win.
This mode doesn’t exist in the Christian domain. No one hums “onward Christian soldiers”. Perhaps the Christians’ non materialism and otherworldly inner battle has caused them to abandon actualized physical spirituality. The Pauline body of Christ is in a nursing home.
For the win – nepotistic religious-cultural-political networks.
Allegiance to a nation state survives with cultural homogeneity.
No borders, no culture, no homogeneity, no nation and no allegiance.
You are here.
Elon Musk’s army of brain chip implanted, cyborg, Tesla Tank Army…. for the win.
Moochers & Looters , pathetic parasitic Assholes elected , appointed or hired into government self serving positions
By ignorant masses seeking something for nothing !
Who’s John Galt ?
There is a reason TPTB fear White Supremacists…they don’t own us or our guns yet…
Wrong.
Trailer Trash be stupid and drunk and would eventually kill each other off fighting over the supply of Budweiser and Skoal and blaming each other for sleeping with their fat ass, smelly, girlfriends and wives, in between NASCAR races.
Government fears lone wolves (Timothy McVeigh ring a bell?) that practice stealth and deception, not groups of dirty, noisy, confederate flag waving, hillbillies.
they don’t really fight over beer or dip or old ladies
You’re assuming that white supremacists are all poor white, dysfunctional trash? Interesting.
Too many bootlickers.
