THE RULING CLASS IS GROWING WEAKER

Guest Post by Hardscrabble Farmer

The functioning of an orderly society depends entirely upon the voluntary submission of the individual to the framework of the establishment, not force employed against them. The threat of loss of liberty, imprisonment, violence, torture, etc. is implied and only need be used as an example rather than as a widespread policy because to do so in reality is impossible.

That was the entire point of the flu hoax and all of its attendant mandates, to gauge the public level of compliance to a government that fully comprehends it is losing power and respect domestically. Where it has tried to carry out the aims and directives of the elites through the force abroad- Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan- it has failed, despite the overwhelming advantage it possessed technologically. Where it has nearly complete control in a lock-down environment, like prisons, it still must bargain with and accept shared control with those inmates and gangs inside their own facilities in order to keep it from going nuclear.

In short, it is the individual who determines just how submissive or free he decides to live his life, not those who pretend at administrating and enforcing the policies of the government.

Humans appear to be driven by a variety of factors, from needs and desires, to love and fear. Some people are more willing to concede whatever is asked of them while others are not. The problem lies not in the laws and directives imposed and how those rules are enforced, but in the vast numbers of people required to execute the orders against an even larger number who would resist or fight back.

This balance has always been the trickiest part for any ruler or administration to maintain. Occasionally it works in harmony, when there are plentiful resources and frontiers and the population shares a common spirit and consanguinity. There are times when it doesn’t work at all and ends in complete collapse of the culture and its government, like the Soviet Union, Rome, Assyria, etc.

One of the best tells of an ongoing collapse is always the increased use of draconian policies, either based on legal stricture or domestic violence carried out by authorities. Very few authoritarian nations/empires survive for long once they embark on this path, but it never succeeds in the long term.

Remember that in every time and in every place this overreach is is predicated not on strength, but rather on weakness. The fictions employed always rest on ever more outlandish claims, a religious fervor and the appeal to the population being tyrannized that it is for the greater good, even as it demonstrates that it exactly the opposite.

Most of us reading these words are already aware of our current situation. We were, for the most part, born into a time of unimaginable material wealth and luxury, a lifestyle so comfortable, even for those at the very bottom as to be incomprehensible to any other time in history. It is hard to have to live with the fact that this period is coming to an end and that we will return in short order to a more fundamental state of existence, but adjust to this we must if we expect to survive the coming tribulations. While this sea change will be difficult, it also presents an opportunity to live a life more in accordance to our true nature.

No living organism is meant to live in perpetual stasis. Struggle with environment, with others, with our own need for food and shelter, to raise families and eventually die are the foundational purposes of existence. This current order is sick and it is dying. As it moves towards its inevitable dissolution those who live the lives furthest removed from the foundations will act out with the greatest levels of irrationality and violence.

The smartest move for those who do not wish to be a part of that world is to seek out the high water mark of this civilization and put down roots. Rediscover the most basic skills and traditions that have endured throughout human history across all cultures; self-sufficiency, family, community involvement, literacy, and a deep connection to the natural world rather than manifest realities or the urbanite.

This is a test.

I still am at a loss of understanding. They murder our fellow Americans, family member, friends, children, with impunity. While trying to bankrupt, enslave, make homeless, and murder the rest of us who aren’t in their club. But our push back is what exactly? Refusing a mask and death jab while losing our income? Pfft. Some push back. SURE, that worked this time.
Yeah they are weak but I bet they’re aren’t scared, if this peaceful shit is all we do after they murder and get caught red handed. The is democide, treason’ and murder. When is it enough? What happens next time? Will they have the boys in blue, national gaurd,etc come force us at gun point? What then? What is the push back? Might makes right, and force counters force. How many are willing to kill a cop, trooper, a entire squad, or the politicians that sent them to keep their health? Kill as many as they send to kill you and your family? Kill a traitor without hesitation? How many will be capable? All I hear is bullshit from both sides, and every Christian I knowsis trusting in Jesus to save and a rapture to occur. Every I know took it except for one. So many dont what to o many can’t admit where we are.
They will do it again, sure not the same way. A different desease, a new hysteria. The same evil agenda. Things to think about and prepare for. Things are beyond fixing at this point. The rot is actively wageing a war on life itself. Our lives.

Billy,

I’m assuming you listened to the full interview…I posted it twice on TBP, once on a standalone thread, as I thought it was hopeful, and I learned a few things about the increasing pushback.

Pushback to Tyranny & Control Increases in 2024 – Catherine Austin Fitts

Here are just a few of the 2023 stories that documented this pushback, according to Fitts that she is detailing in her most recent magazine issue:

“Stories on Constitutional protections, different litigations on the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, and we have one on information sovereignty and infrastructure.

We have stories on all the pushback against the media, including litigation to hold people accountable and stopping emergency powers. We have culture wars about saying no to international organizations.

Woke capital controls and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance investing) is toast. The state Attorney Generals have gone after ESG and Larry Fink (BlackRock CEO), and he’s had to publicly backpedal. They are steamrolling him.

We had another story about taking it to the streets and have a whole section on ‘Pushback Heros.’ . . .

In 2023, people started to realize that it is kill or be killed. We have to push back because there is no going along with this. They are trying to kill us, number one.

Then they are trying to take all of our stuff, and we can’t let them”.

I’ll take some time and try and put up some thoughts on your well founded frustrations that many here share, including me:

First of all it I see it as a SPIRITUAL WAR…and that fountain head flows downstream into the Culture, Politics, and then the Economy…it has been going on since the garden….and we are coming into the End of the Beginning. The country kicked God out of it’s schools, legalized and spread the murder of the unborn, allowed same sex married perversion…etc., etc., etc. Collectively we are reaping what we sowed/allowed.

But the Wild Card and the Dealer will throw down soon, and He will be know to everyone. That is my belief.

One thing you said is:

“Every Christian I know is trusting in Jesus to save and a Rapture to occur. Everyone I know took it except for one. So many don’t want or can’t admit where we are”.

I am not a modern day American Pre-Trib Rapture believer, and that subject gets ridden hard around here. I believe Pre Tribulation Rapture is one of the greatest deceptions the enemy has pulled off starting with the corrupted ‘Revised’ King James Bible in 1885, then through the Scofield Study Bible soon after….yada, yada, yada. Pre-Trib has lulled many into a prophetic stupor, and sets them up (in my opinion) for a massive deception. So there is that. Besides me there are two people I know of in my small rural church (there could be more) who don’t believe in Pre-Trib…because that is all they have ever been taught.

I could care less what any Preacher/church/denomination teaches…I dive deep on my own.

Now as best as I can tell in my red rural area…many/possibly a majority didn’t ride the poison needles…but some did…and some of them are now dead or suddenly disabled (the body count is growing) and that is becoming more and more obvious to many, both jabbed and Pure Bloods. The Blue Bubbles however are toast (for many reasons) and they will reap what they have sown or allowed to be sown.

“Might makes right, and force counters force. How many are willing to kill a cop, trooper, an entire squad, or the politicians that sent them to keep their health? Kill as many as they send to kill you and your family? Kill a traitor without hesitation? How many will be capable”?

I don’t know the answer to that…probably very few at first. I was a grunt in Nam and all that implies, but in my tribe there are three other men, none are combat vets, but I can tell you this without a doubt…all three are ready, willing, and able to do whatever will have to be done…without hesitation.

Eyes I am just going by what I see in the majority and own father. There are always exceptions. I don’t believe, or disbelieve in God at this point. I believe in what is in front of me , and affecting me and mine. No need for an eternal hell when the oen we’ve allowed on earth to prosper is doing just as evil to us. No loving God condemns to eternal hell and damnation finite created being either.. That is not love. Hell even some governments reform prisoners before even thinking of life without parole, or execution. But not a loving God?

Adults can weed out the fairytales from the truth in the Bible ie approve books of the councils of Rome. Jesus even said reincarnation is athing. HENCE THE DISCIPLES NOT UNDERSTANDING THE BORN AGAIN TEACHINGS OR THAT ELIJAH ALREADY RETURNED! The Catholics and Protestants can’t have a freedom like that, or a loving patient Father type God or Savior. No, that is bad for business, and slave controls. NOPE JUST 1 TRY AND IT’S OFF TO HEAVEN OR HELL FOR YOU. PFFT.

Yes to both Eyes Wide Shut and mark below, the two aren’t mutually exclusive. I too am a pre-trib believer who thinks it wise to be prepared for hard times. Jesus never told us that it was going to be easy, as a matter of fact He made it clear that we would always have troubles in this world, might as well use the brains He gave us to be prepared to whatever extent we think is necessary for our families.

The rapture is not a guarantee that we will be protected from ALL suffering. And agreed further that there is no reason to break fellowship with someone over a difference of opinion on the timing. The more important thing to agree on is that it is coming, and furthermore, while it is important to be prepared physically it is much more important to be sure that our souls are prepared for the eternity that follows.

Either way too many are complacent’ and go along ong both sides. I am glad we have won many legal battles, etc. We must remember however that those perpetrators causing all of this are completely lawlesss and will never stop until they are stopped. They have bought the government and enforcement mechanisms so many still put their faith in.

I do not and will not assume there will be a rapture. I am fully expecting to be left behind, no matter my faithfulness. If yes, great, but I am not expecting it.

I so chided my senior pastor for caving into the government and the masked up fear (and most of the Aints – not Saints) who took the jab I was told by the pastor to stop sending him my warnings on the jab on e-mail from the pulpit.

Soon the church was cut by 60%, I left of course and three couples and a few individuals met mask-less and for a weekly Bible Study…finally the 40% kicked out the pastor, and stopped wearing the (i believe infected face diapers) and I was invited back four separate time…but by the we had found another church of believers with two bold Preachers who will never cave in to the government.

Christians that disagree on the Rapture timing should debate but not attack one another. It is a passionate subject, but we must respect one another.

We spent last Friday evening celebrating three birthdays around a very large kitchen table set for fifteen in the home of our our close Amish friends.
Of the fifteen eight were their children age’s 8 thru 23.
We ate blueberry pancakes, pork sausage, bacon, and for desert banana creme pie and pecan bars with vanilla ice cream and coffee.
Songs were sung, jokes and stories told, magic tricks done, games played and life in general discussed around the large wood burning stove top and oven in the center of their house.
Large smiles and great laughter could be seen and heard throughout the visit.
It was an evening to remember. God willing there will be many more to come.

consanguinity… thank you Mark. I like learning a new word. It’s a pretty cool and useful word for writing also, although I don’t think I’ll be using it in conversation.

Interesting root and derivatives– usually sanguine is meant as confidence or optimism but it comes from the root word for blood. Combining the two gives a nice feel for independent thinkers whose optimism and trust lies more in blood than government controllers.

Americans have already failed the most important test. If you can’t or won’t defend it, you don’t own it. The alien tribe that’s controls the US government has been quite successful in importing our replacements; a broken and desperate people who will gladly murder entire populations, just for a motorbike, a plate of food, and a few dollars.
The war has only just begun. Might makes right. Tribe up or die.

“Jonny is bitter and angry. He is indignant at the world for dealing him what he describes as an unfair chance in life.

“I’ve never understood why some people can have everything and others have nothing.”

As a result, he does not seem to struggle with the act of killing.

“It’s a job. If I didn’t do it, someone else would,” he says. “I do it to earn money. We all have to earn a living.”

Murder for Jonny takes on a form of revenge. It is retribution against a world that has given him few opportunities.

“Nobody cares about me. Nobody helped me when I had no food and no shoes, so why should I care about the world? About society? It has excluded me.”

Sicarios often project a strange mix of naivete and bravado, but Jonny displays a detachment that has obviously fuelled his macabre ambitions and diverted his moral compass.

“I want to make people scared of me. I want power. I want respect. Don’t I deserve that?”

‘The first kill is difficult, but then it gets easier’
Life in gang-controlled Caucasia is cheap. Sicarios tend to be paid a wage of between a hundred and three hundred dollars each month.

“The first time you kill is difficult,” Jonny says. “But then it gets easier each time. It’s an adrenaline rush. It becomes an addiction. The key is not to think about the person, but the money.”

When the military started recruiting insane people (gays and trans) I asked my self, why? The answer came as simple as the question. They can tell these people to turn their guns on us and they will gladly ask no questions like a sane person would. After all , these are the people that have tortured them all their lives and “it’s payback time, baby!” I used to like the men and women in uniform. That is no longer. I now see them as people that will turn their guns on me and my family. I do not trust even a single one of them.

All the while, the general populace grows poorer, homelessness is exploding, children are being mutilated and taught to be gay in schools, thugs loot and kill with no repercussions yet if you criticize the regime you are held in a gulag with no due process.

Agreed. I found the addition of literacy interesting. While important I’m not sure it’s foundational. Gave me food for thought. Your list is pragmatic so it fits in that way. However gangs & cartels can have all the things listed.

There’s always a spirit that underlies an individual & community which is the most important, however. If you didn’t want to go there maybe spirit, or freedom- oriented, or nonviolent anarchy., lol….for me it would be biblically oriented.

This spirit isn’t necessarily dependent on literacy and in fact literacy is foundational in getting us where we are now- the spirit of technocracy. Maybe a break in literacy for awhile might not be so bad.
Just thinking.

Yes, it is . . . beginning with grammar:

https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/on-mind-control-part-2-word-to-vector

EXCERPT:

Critical thinking is a skill which is driven by the cycle of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The purpose of grammar is to bring a consistent order to a body of knowledge. The purpose of logic is to extract understanding from the body of knowledge. Rhetoric is the cogent explanation of that body of knowledge. In ancient times, students were taught the Trivium at home, by their parents, as a pre-requisite for admission into universities.

Grammar-Logic-Rhetoric, Grammar-Logic-Rhetoric, etc. = a comprehensive decision making process. When this human learning process is malformed, stunted or deficient in some way, we cannot arrive at the truth by critical thinking process, and instead accept whatever feels emotionally pleasant as truth. We emote instead of thinking. Intellectually, emoting is a lower level space which leads to the mind enslavement, passing the operational control from self to others.

Yes I think literacy is good, too. So say we were back to only individual & community level relationships: I definitely think logic/rhetoric would be a good book. (I think grammar is good but a highly formalized grammar and spelling are just easier). The rest of philosophy is tainted. History? The same fake history we’ve been taught? There are others like the Bible, Aesops Fables.
You don’t need books for being taught how to live (physically, mentally, spiritually), or for wisdom. You need freedom to think and wise people who are good, too. What is wise and good? You can read about it, but it goes beyond this.

Yes books can be good and helpful, no doubt. Haven’t we discussed how words are spells, too? I used to think how great it was Christians really helped teaching the world to read so they could read the Bible but also better themselves. Did it work? Yes and no.
As a teacher you’ve been programmed just like nurses. We all need to examine our programming.

You don’t need books…

Wow. As a bibliophile, that was an arrow shot directly to my heart. I disagree, but don’t have a ton of time to get into a long discussion about it right now. In our modern age, I find it extremely helpful to return to the past and have “conversations” with those who lived before us; those who were more wise than anyone you can find in our modern world. We learn from others (as well as doing), and books help that process. I’m grateful for books that allow us to reach those minds that we would no longer be able to access. Also, reading material that you do not agree with has value, too. It helps you better define right/wrong, true/false, good/bad.

As a teacher you’ve been programmed…

Is that referring to me? If so, I can say that I don’t believe I am “programmable”. I survived public schooling, and college, and working & living alongside libtards without succumbing to their belief system in any way, shape, or form.

Apply to the authors of the bible.

Anything that anyone writes that is beneficial?
Is the same as the word of God.
Anything.
We are all “of God” and are in fact a small portion of God’s energy.
When we harm each other, w harm ourselves.
When we help each other, we help ourselves.
All life, all mass, is made from energy.

We do not have magical powers.
We are physical manifestations of God like the countless eyes on Ezekiel’s wheel.
We go where we want.
Our eyes are on most everything that can be seen.
We are all god.
Religion inverted the truth to enslave you with the false idea that we are not a part of the living god.

We all have the spark of divinity.
But most were brainwashed to see self as less than.
Try it on.
What does it imply if every living thing is a part of the godhead?

I’m curious what you mean by biblically oriented. Bible literally (pun-ception?) meaning book, after all.

I’ve been a voracious reader all my life but I think one of biggest problems with literacy is certain peoples take the written word as gospel as a truth like a mathematical or logical formula.

Have you ever listened to audio of someone who sounded convincing (not that voices don’t have tells), but seen them on video and realized they have lying tics? Or met someone who seems normal on video, tv, or stage, but in person they look like total untrustworthy scumbags?

That’s kind of how I feel about books. There is a ton of good information, ideas, etc. but I wonder if unpacking all the false information in the written form isn’t the hardest type of discernment to develop.

It certainly is dangerous technology.

Flash, makes a great point. The masses illegally immigrating to the US come here because they are fed propaganda that life in US will be better, more money, more food, shelter, jobs, etc. When those promises are seen as hollow, some, not all, will turn to crime. Add to that a catch and release program even for violent crimes and you have a significant problem. We already see this in news stories almost daily. With the illegal immigration numbers increasing daily the problem will only grow. By the time US citizens wake up, if ever, and try to do something it will be too late. It may already be too late.

He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

A return to the romanticized frontier days in America… or a return to the dark ages of local warlords and tribes in a war of all against all for the scraps of the deceased and thoroughly rotted corpus of ‘our civilization’.

Large scale production and distribution of petrochemical products can’t happen in the absence of large scale organization and that requires stability. Large scale use of petrochemical products is the only thing that projects ‘our civilization’ beyond the 1870s level of production and consumption.

The 1870s level of production and consumption depended on a much larger amount of voluntary cooperation than we currently possess. It also depended on open spaces where those who didn’t want to cooperate could go (or be sent). A version of the European warlord/citystate feudal dark ages less the chivalry and attempts at civil progress is more likely as our thoroughly corrupted and rotten system endures its inevitable entropic finale. Of course the animal level Africans being imported may determine this outcome as the lowest common denominator rules in every grouping.

As a young man I believed the bloated, fetid carcass of our government (I wasn’t cognizant of the rot throughout all the institutions at the time) ought be burned to white ash. As an old man I hope it all holds together enough that my grandchildren have time to prepare.

The word “Martyr” is Greek meaning “witness”.

The deniers of truth STILL kill the witnesses of Christianity.
Martyrs.
Witnesses to truth have always been a grave danger to evil liars in power, so they are “martyred” to keep the lies as the official narrative. Deniers of truth trying to hide a narrative that deeply conflicts with their own.
If God did indeed send Himself as Jesus down to tell us something so important….
that God Himself sacrificed Himself as his Son for our eternal life if we just believe in Him….Whelp, that is important.
Really, really important if true.

The resurrection story.

The magic Jesus act crap was added by the scribes and pharisees, who wrote the rest of the magic jesus embellishments into the story of a man who was telling the people to return to cultivating the earth.

Like God had originally commanded to Adam, and Noah: “cultivate the earth”

The earth is still here.
We should all be cultivating the earth.

The command was never revoked.

You know the old adage about history not repeating, but rhyming? That doesn’t do history justice.

Same kinds of people do the same kinds of things and they always, always fall in the end, and the people always endure. It helps to know how they operate.

Deep dive the other collapses and notice just how repetitious the behavior of a civilization ending elites manifests itself and like they say in combat, make ready.

…it was his administrative abilities that made him a successful crusher and smiter of peoples. He was served by eunuchs whose freedom from family ambition was thought to make them ideal civil servants.

…we find here that Assyrian atrocities – including the forced resettlement of thousands – were not the product of random mayhem but diligent organization.

…the palace reliefs portrays people defeated by the Assyrians being forced by Ashurbanipal’s soldiers to migrate to land where their labor will profit the empire. Scenes like this are both fascinating and utterly crushing to the human spirit. The efficient brutality of the Assyrians looks like a sterile enterprise that existed only, at least as far as this exhibition goes, for the glory and luxury of the monarch
(or whatever we call them today).

Had enough, or are you thirsty for more?

If you can:

Find water that can be purified with that fire;

You can survive in any environment for about a month.

Now, if you can hunt, gather, trap, or fish, you can survive in that environment indefinitely.

Humans did this for 250,000+ years.

Almost ZERO humans can do the first 3 to survive a month.
Almost none of the rest can do the next 4, espacillay building a trap.

I understand what your saying, I do, but there comes a time when some things clearly have more value than others. Their money isn’t real and it loses value faster than they can create it.

They are in control of far less than people imagine they are. Most everything on this Earth is outside of their control, including the vast majority of humans. The illusion is palpable because they have the microphone and the lights, but all you have to do is head outside and enjoy your day.

I wonder what they thought of us when they weren’t fuming and giving stink eye. There they were, huffing their own halitosis to try and prevent the sniffles, using a mask that had it written right on the side “does not protect against virus”.

I bet they felt jealous. Part of them, no matter how deep it was buried, knew that it was just a snipe hunt, that they were too weak or too cowardly to just do what made sense instead of following the directives of all these mentally defective numb-nuts and weird looking experts with their mis-matched eyes, gunts, nervous tics, and stutters. They must have looked at us the way the cargo cult stared at the B-17’s dropping chutes laden with booty. Gobsmacked. Awe-struck. Humiliated by their inadequacies.

It’s hard to see the world through someone else’s eyes, especially when they don’t have the ability to articulate an independent thought, but I do wonder from time to time just how pathetic they must feel having gone along with it all and how angry it must have made them whenever they saw someone with the spine to live their life on their own terms instead of capitulating daily to the pressure brought to bear by even lower forms of life desperate to show that they weren’t really hopeless little fags.

But then the feeling passes, because hey, I’ve got a life.

Living well is said to be the best revenge . Instead of telling this guy we we’re both trying to talk down off of his proverbial ledge that his dreary outlook was having deliterious spiritual effects on him, I should have told tohim think about it like being a wild horse that someone is trying to break its ” spirit ” , because that is essentially the truth about what they really think they want . I say think because even if they we’re succesful ,we know they still wouldn’t be at peace with themselves. Its something to do with incorrect action once embarked upon , that
it always has to escalate and it always inevitibly produces diminishing returns . I think I’ll meditate on that for a while and see if its actually true . Sure seems that way to me just .intuitively anyway .

It resonates with me.

A long time ago when I’d tell a joke onstage that was either obscure or had more than a few layers so that the audience didn’t immediately get it, all you had to do was look at them like that for a few seconds and you’d hear them start to grasp it and figure it out for themselves. I don’t think I ever fully understood how our ability to communicate truths- whether they were simple jokes or profound revelations- rested on more than words. A wink and a nod connects us in ways a wall of text can’t and when that moment occurs there is a connection to something larger than our own understanding.

I’m picking up what that monkey is throwing down in that simple grin and eye contact. When I post it it’s a way to indicate there’s more to the post than the words. It’s out of my hands after that and I just hope the reader gets it too.

Very interesting…

Not that it matters but I am currently still in the cave somewhere between the dream and the soliloquy in 2112. The hiatus I’m currently on may last for while yet, or maybe not. It all depends on where the balance between stoicism and the current reality is to be found.

It is weird how a decouple from things, that don’t mean nothin’, can lead one towards a more positive outlook on life. Like Doc in the movie, repetition is the key. Could that be why so much ink is split by those in charge on fear porn to disparage people as “conspiracy theorists” and “fake news adherents”? Is their one play one gigantic deflection?

I think it is so…

Could it be that the Schwabs of the world know, that as more people realize that it don’t mean nothing, that as people will wake from their spell, that their rogues is game is gone.

It is funny how people continue to talk about how powerful the WEF and the WHO and the FBI and all the other three letter agencies are that are currently out there.

Driving home today in the blowing snow and rain I thought about it all. I had this question floating around in my head. If they have all this power why are they seeking permission to get what they want done.

Then I imagined myself in that a foxhole as Chris in platoon. Watching the flares and tracers flying around. The Gooks everywhere, knowing that the whole perimeter is about to be overrun.

Thinking that it don’t mean nothin’ and that if this is how it’s going to to go down, that rather than DD I’m gonna plant myself here and let them come and get it on my ground.

If that is what they want.

Thanks for writing this article. It is very timely for me, what with all the New Years resolutions flying around.

RiNS,

100,000 run through the jungle +…

And it will always not mean anything…unless you know…and actually understood what “It don’t mean nothing’…means.

I always liked “Get Some”…just for pure revenge…we had a lot of reasons to “Get Some”.

And it over yet…as far as ‘Getting Some’.

Shit…this is mark…all kinds of computer problems…Brave is infected for me.

We will all be grunts getting overrun ‘if’ TLPTB get their way…

BUT… these lost Tower of Babble 2.0 clowns are doomed…not us.

Laugh at these demonic creations who think they can overrun the Creator and His remnant.

Thanks Mark

I appreciate your words. Just last week I travelled with my son to Cabelas in Dartmouth Crossing to buy his first gun. Pretty proud of him and a good day for this Dad.. I think the work I am doing is rubbing off on him

The TLPTB are not going to get their way because cracks are appearing in the fear porn façade everywhere that they made, because they are doomed!

so yeah the lesson in life is to not give into the fear.

Kudos on the album reference, RiNS. The lyrics are apropos. The word ‘syrinx’, eek. A nice song discovery for me. I am glad Rush did not go the satanic route (afaik).

Randian objectivism was Rush’s “underlying theme “, and as athiestic creeds go its not a bad way to go . But for me it only goes so far back in terms of ” causality “and so I find it unsatisfying. Why should even being happy be in any way construed with” purpose “if the whole universe is just one big sequence of random undirected physical phenomena? I cant even bring myself to use the word ” processes” rather than the word “phenomena “because it lacks philosophical ” rigor ” because the word “process” indicates “intent”. If its all just random crap ( stuff that somehow just happened for no reason )then how can ” purpose ” anywhere enter into it ?
That said , I dig Rush , and yeah they had there own special version of classical liberalism( trying to get people to behave morally toward one and other without any logical reason for doing so “trying to get the fruits without the roots “), or perhaps a form of liberatarianism I suppose .

How many avatars do you have?
Next you’ll say eat the rich – again.
‘Piece of the pie’ is another indicator of Red Book thinking.

The root problem isn’t money it’s control.
Greed is obsessing on money. The poor can be greedy, too.
The rich, in general, don’t think about money as they have it. What do they think about?

We got our most recent dog from a teenage Amish girl in Pa. and it is perhaps the best dog I have ever owned. Wouldn’t trade her for the world.

I’m thinking that calling them Amish puppy mills is just another slander directed at people who do what other people can’t.

Dogs don’t come from pet stores, you have to breed them and breeding isn’t the same thing as having a pet. Can’t speak for anyone else but I have never met an Amish I didn’t like. Salt of the Earth is an apt description.

Hi HSF,

Good observations and well-expressed.

Indeed, they are desperate. I keep wondering where will the crossroad be when their desperation and our tipping point intersect? I’m betting on you, your family and your community. Feel free to bet on our Sea Gypsy Tribe.

Thanks for WOODEN SHIPS. Probably listened to it a hundred times alone at Sea. I prefer cranking it at night. Find it even more powerful and sweetly melancholic then.

“…and it’s a fair wind blowin’ warm out of the South over my shoulder. Guess I’ll set a course and go….”

Here’s one from my Tribe to your Tribe.

Supposing you are right, Dan—and you are—why is lyin’ denying at the expense of one’s Western culture, heritage, and civilization the almost unanimous choice?

After reading your reply what immediately came to mind was the words inscribed upon a plaque down in one of the main machinery rooms on the aircraft carrier I served as a boiler technician on at what seems now like a different life it was so long ago . The words on the plaque went something like :” We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing at all “. So just hypothetically, if I carry you around on my back all the time who is really the stronger of us ?The servant therefore becomes the master in the fullness of time . Someone who’s muscles have atrophied for having someone else do all the essential and strenuous work for them is not strong either in character or physically. Its an illusion , the inevitablility of their reign . They literally think they need us , while conversely ,we would be much much better off to be rid of them . The only thing left for that to become reality is for enough real people to realize it . I’m totally with hardscrabble and Gore , they are entering last stage meltdown , rock bottom , nervous breakdown , psychotic break at eccelarated velocity . Just like junkies always do . And they are junkies ,just hooked on power, control and the easy money that goes with it instead of heroin or whatever .

A three foot tall 20 x 50 wide digging is secret excavation, not a tunnel.

They were obviously getting rid of evidence of some embarrassing history at the location and were interrupted.
The cover story?
Makes absolutely no sense.
“Some radicalized youths”
Hmm, seeing as it is a synagogue, we know exactly who was educating them.

Nope. It’s a coverup.
They are destroying evidence of an old crime.

The more the plutocrats feel they are losing control and their power is being threatened, the more desperate and ruthless they will become. We saw/see this with the pushback against their COVID PSY-OP power grabs and profiteering which is why they are at it again in 2024. Our challenge is remain implacable steadfast and not buckle. I was lucky I am retired and did not have to deal with mandates to keep a job, a professional license, or social status. The animosity to my refusal to go along with the groupthink has still not completely subsided despite the fact friends and family I know who took the “COVID” jabs have had multiple bouts with “COVID” and are experiencing other serious health issues they refuse to link to the shots.
The miscreants are not going to give up or back down so we must be prepared for the long haul as these maniacs employ the same tactics and playbook over and over, like their WWI claim the Germans (whom they called Huns) were killing babies, they revived and used that canard against Iraqis during Desert Storm and now the Palestinians to justify the Gaza ethnic cleansing.
No outsiders are coming to our recue, we are the only ones who can save us! The plutocrats’ plan is to drive most of us insane, we can see their effects and the consequences all around us. Start on the micro level, focus on your own health and security, link with like minded folks and do not allow the government/media/”expert” hysteria hydra to drive you crazy.
