Even though Frederic Bastiat lived two centuries ago, his wisdom echoes across the ages. His quote below is proof human nature never changes, despite technological advancement. He captures in one sentence the current state of affairs in the U.S. and most of western civilization.
There is no voting ourselves out of this. Those manipulating the minds of the masses through mass media propaganda, government school indoctrination, and complete control of the narratives spun by those who want to destroy our nation, have convinced the masses wrong is right, abnormal is normal, deviant is ordinary, lies are truth, slavery is freedom, ignorance is understanding, dependence is liberty, government is here to help, and thinking for yourself is dangerous.
I don’t fit into this world and I don’t want to fit into this world. I do believe we are headed for a myriad of simultaneous catastrophes, and after we allowed our government, media, culture, and society to be hijacked by evil men with evil intent, we deserve what is coming. We’ve turned our back on the country we were given by our founders, and the community standards required to maintain that country. You ultimately reap what you sow and we will eventually sit down to a banquet of consequences. I don’t know when, but I sense it won’t be long. Batten down the hatches.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Catastrophe is coming??? LOL
It is already here and well underway, as per their (((Agenda))).
The (((US Feral Government))) has been infiltrated and overthrown by the Jewish Cabal.
True Patriots will defend their country from the Government.
Be Prepared, the BSA motto, has never been more apropos for US citizens today.
Hopefully, you are getting prepared….
Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.”
Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
So why did He say “synagogue”? You are utterly shameless.
👁️ no, write?
All Greek to me. Indubitably,
Self-EvidentRather fortuitous that the fraud has been Shamelessly ‘Known’. Since Waaaay back then.Mayhap it means sanhedrin. In Kaifeng?
Mere happenstance, this song. Was lookin’ fur the puurfect musical pairing when I give The Boss our 3 yr. anniversary present/card early. (Not ’til next month, looong story)
Found the the IDEAL Card material here as well. Merely need ta print it out and peel-n-Stick laminate it.
There’s nothing new about the humongous coordinated dark underbelly. But despite thinking I was a pretty awake black sheep most of my life seeing through tons of things others didn’t, it took me until these last few years to see how cavernously deep and despicable the underbelly of everything has been all of all our entire lives…and the decades or more before.
Control progress by the dark was just limited by technology and it appears the timing of control plans to population numbers to truth access got screwed up and the now glaringly apparent truth spotlight is becoming the downfall of all this every nook and cranny coordination they thought was bulletproof.
Ya, I expect we have some catastrophe enduring to do as they fight to the bitter end, but they can’t and won’t take all. I’m not at all worried that it’s going to be easy to find the LARGE side that organizes and moves forward without them. It will exist and in many ways has already begun in many pockets of society. And it’s even dumb to fear the alternative society won’t exist.
everything?
If you haven’t identified the small spots of truth and beauty, you are lost as well
IOW, you missed the whole point and the context implied where I used the phrases ‘truth access’, ‘truth spotlight’ and ‘glaringly apparent truth’ to suggest what was the downfall of the attempt to control the every nook and cranny ‘everything’. Sorry I didn’t overexplain for you.
I gotcha……it seems easier to misunderstand and castigate than think and engage……..geez,I misunderstand things on first reading sometimes…..
…It’s Me. Free Association Guy, been a Victim all my life.
No Need to diminish the Waves, made by same. Truer words were never spoken. 100% in agreement.

You Are no Dummy, why not start a list of hidden gems that We all take for granted/overlook/miss entirely/Etc.
“everything?

Prolly make Us ALL think, ADD to Your Stone Soup.
Right there with you and in agreement Waves…..
Pay no attention to “m”…..glass half full type…..
While I’m on the subject why is it when you point out one thing,that which isn’t mentioned is the issue…..
To m……of course Waves sees those as well….otherwise he wouldn’t be able to make those distinctions WITHOUT something to compare it to….c’mon man!
Now tell me/us why Waves had to use ‘everything’, just to increase the drama…
We have to try.
Just vote moar harderer, for the children and democracy

Somewhere in your rational that not even bothering to go thru the motions of what is supposed to be our obligation and right in a properly functioning representative republic( the way it should be ) is just another winning hand for those you oppose .Why? Because then they really do win ,fair and square actually , I’m sure they love that about you , the broken spirit of a broken and domesticated animal . ” GIVE UP , ALL HOPE IS LOST ” , maybe this voice comes thru on every 25th frame of video subliminally across the telescreen and you are subconsciously picking it up . Sorry bud ,and don’t misunderstand me , I do agree with you that they’ve got every damn thing rigged ” six ways from sunday ” as it stands right now but their ultimate victory will be our unconditional exceptance of it . And somehow at some level below the conscious one my faculties of logic have done the calculus on it and found it wanting . Go ahead and vote , it don’t take that long , think of the time you spend on here purveying doom and gloom ? Is that moving the ball in a productive direction either ? Yet you find the time for it ( and I get that , gotta comisserate with other folks with eyes to see as opposed to those livin in a fantasy construct about the state of things , me too )
He’s in Canada. Much worse than U.S. See latest Tucker Carlson video.
LOL, while you see it as doom and gloom and giving up its really the polar opposite. I know trouble lay ahead, lie to yourself if you like. What I plan is the rebuilding of something far better after your voting has finished destroying everything. but you do you.
Standing firm and not giving any legitimacy to an absolutely corrupted system. Then there are those that say hold your nose and vote, the lesser of evils. You are still ‘voting’ for evil. Or pull a glock, vote for shits and giggles, that’ll be fun.
Your logic is lacking and failing and the disconnect is obvious. You advocate voting for why exactly?? When you know already the votes are fake, there are no honest politicals, there are no honest voting systems, so its an exercise in futility. The very meaning of insanity.
But you have to do muh patriotic duty… lol
As for lurken and canukistan being far worse…. lmao you keep telling yourself that. See that trillion dollar interest debt, then tell me that canukistan is worse… tucker lol
You are retarded.
ONLY GOD can stop what this nation deserves.
So God hears our prayers but cant read our ballots huh ? Yeah what I see is an active demoralization campaign goin on here” give up , don’t bother to vote , this is inevitable “everything is and always has been a lie “. Think about who would benefit most from that type of thinking .”Anon “
SC, you are holding tight to the old system. That system is no longer in play.
Look at the Governor of Texas’ actions. He didn’t try to cast a vote. Abbott has called out Biden and the “Supreme Court”.
There will not be a vote. The war is upon you, whether you want it or not.
No, only people acting with God on their side can stop what is happening. Prayer without action is wishing.
Then there are those that say hold your nose and vote, the lesser of evils. You are still ‘voting’ for evil. Or pull a glock, vote for shits and giggles, that’ll be fun.
lol, what is wrong with “them”?
Nobody 2024. Think about that. If I don’t vote someone can say I voted for whichever. Both evil two parties do it.
I did not vote for Biden. Oh, then in reality you voted for Trump. No.
I did not vote for Trump. Oh, then in reality you voted for Biden. No.
Well ain’t you the poster boy for what the “demoralization phase” of psychopolitical warfare would look like . You simply DONT actually really know to what degree everything and everyone is fake but instead have come to embrace victim status and convince your self that you actually do know for a fact just exactly how deep down the rabbit hole goes . You don’t know and quite frankly I’m of the opinion that you are over estimating it to support your own view of yourself as the classic tragic hero archetype, and again I get it , I got a little of that going on myself . “Why is it that I am damn near right all the time about this shit but nobody ever listens or recalls the accuracy ” And I really am damn near always right but mostly folks dont listen cuz they be goin along with the popular narratives ascendant among the circles they travel in . And besides , however fucking inevitable these assclowns actually are they still aint breakin me !!!!!cuz for one , I am not a mental fucking pussy ,and for another I’m a hell of a lot closer to my end then my beginning so what can they do to me that I’m not already mentally prepared for huh ?Uh booh fuckin hoo ,their gonna take away your stuff ?
Simplicus, you ought to calm down over there. You might bust a gasket or something.
moos,
You sure got it in for me buddy. I’m out of ideas. I’ll wait for the signal to do something more effective.
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you……
And they WILL come for you…….
Jesus, save me.
Yeah sure cuz even if they actually kill Trump you”ll still think its fake and gay and that hes with Epstein and Elvis swelling it up somewhere . Your mentality could well be manufactured and part of some demoralization psyop itself designed to create the illusion of their inevitability . Maybe , just maybe you and those of you of like mind are the actual ‘Langley’s “huh ? Put your” everything is a conspiracy “thinking / shoe on the other foot( objectivity ? ) and if you are honest you should be able to see that ought to be as reasonable a possibility of infiltration tactics as anything you propose , if not more probable in my opinion. No offense but your capacity for logic is just as prone to error as the rest of us . Yeah if I we’re opposition I’d have sights like this riddled with hopeless doomer trolls draining the spirit out of everyone . Just sayin , its actually psychological warfare standard military style 101 .
Here’s what a Trump Presidency will get you:
1. An end to the massive flow of invaders into the country. However, it will also get you amnesty for the 50 – 60 million illegal immigrants already here. It won’t be called “amnesty”, it’ll be called “a path to citizenship”, but the net effect will be the same. They will be eligible for welfare, social security, disability, the works, and they will be registered to vote in our fake elections.
But the border will be partly enforced and the flood will slow to a trickle — hooray.
2. You will get a CBDC. Again, under Trump it won’t technically be a true CBDC as it will originate with the TBTF banks and be marketed – by Trump – as a really great “free market” alternative to CBDCs. It will, however, be implemented under the auspices of some contrived, neat-sounding legislation. I mean who coul be opposed to The Really Great Super Convenient Free Market New Money Act (RGSCFMNMA). It will be regulated and controlled by the big banks and the Fed ( but I repeat myself). So you will get a CBDC that is merely called by some other name but has all of the enslaving characteristics of a true CBDC.
3. You will get a digital ID, and so will tens of millions of illegals. With this linked to your non-CBDC CBDC, 90% of WEF goals will be achieved with the remaining 10% (social credit scores, censorship, etc) left for the next President to impose.
But wait, there’s more:
4. You will get the incorporation of the WHO’s pandemic treaty into US law, and you may even get Scamdemic 2.0. Along with this, you may have vaccine mandates and vaccine passports incorporated in your non-CBDC CBDC linked digital ID … though that, too, may have to wait four years.
5. You will get Red Flag laws and 2d Amdt infringements galore.
6. You will get “Freedom Cities”.
But that’s not all. If Trump is elected, yo will also receive, as a free gift:
7. WAR! Probably against Iran at the least, and possibly expanding into World War.
vote away
Remember folks, halfway thru his term he suddenly said, I want all these people here because the economy is so good. Total betrayal. Basically the same as George W Bush’s solution to the illegal immigrant problem: Legalize all of them.
Talking absolute truth SC!…..too bad there are so many thin skins around…..this is 3d chess….
What’s fucked up is those on the other side of the tracks probably feel that “obligation” thing as well.
You vote they win, you don’t vote they win. They lie, cheat and steal and nothing is done. Vote with Second Amendment and maybe you will change something.
Just about the only vote that will still count is .308. It is the least desired, but most effective vote the Founders gave us.
Oh I’m definitely prepared for that “box” option .
Yeah, right. Dream on Bozo.
Moast harderest ..er
Moast – is that like wet toast?
But if it’s wet it isn’t toast.
Lighten up a little folks!
Isaiah 5:20-21 KJB… “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”
1 Corinthians 1:19 KJB… “For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
More than likely, he was sponsored by the Sea Eye Hay, not Russia or China. China is too busy sending in divisions of spec ops troops and does not care much for muzzies.
It is not the end of the West. It is the Second Seal. Five more after this.
No it’s not the Second Seal. It’s perilous times
“And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”
Sounds perilous to me.
Just another valid reason to keep on hating Them.
Heeding Catherine Austin Fitts advise, I just joined up as a Sheriff Dept volunteer in my county. Their Vision Statement is replete with homage to the Bill of Rights. We’ll see.
One of our SIL and a grandson joined several years ago. SIL is self employed and joined primarily so he could get affordable insurance for the family.
Nothing about “patriotism”?
No, it is all personal. He always wanted to be a cop, but took over the family business and this is the closest thing he can do to being a cop. He has worked his way up the hierarchy to Lt. and has received some very specialized training. It has become his hobby.
Seems more like demolitiion first – find out what’s in store after.
Basically ” fuck around and find out” then huh ?
Kind of off topic except for the insanity part overcoming this Nation, but this whole business of using a Patriot Missile provided by the USA (manned by American ‘instructors’) to shoot down a Russian jet taking ukrainian POWs back to Ukraine really reeks.
Wonder if Austin was on that jet?
Some of you youngsters might not remember Sec. Ron Brown and the crashing c-130 during Clinton’s adventures in the Balkans.

Hardscrabble often posts about physiognomy. The following video isn’t about physiognomy per se, it’s about behavior and psychology revealed in a short conversation. I happened on it by chance, take a look:
This is what a psychopathic shitweasel looks and acts like (obviously I don’t mean Napolitano). If this guy Devine doesn’t fill you with instant revulsion, then there’s some internal sensor malfunction.
Thanks for posting, would not believed it unless actually hearing it .This guy laughs about his wickedness. He exhibits quite a few of the evils listed below:
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 1:28-32
Napolitano himself fills me with instant physiognomic revulsion. + sanpaku eyes
I find it funny that the shitty Patriot system is supposedly the cause, despite the fairly long range from any potential sites.
70% of the population is close-minded. If they are indoctrinated with a false world view, they literally can’t change their world view. The government indoctrination camps have been indoctrinating kids for decades about Communism, Statism, Feminism, Climate Hysteria, and more. We’re screwed.
we allowed our government, media, culture, and society to be hijacked by evil men with evil intent, we deserve what is coming
Speak for yourself. I met Ron Paul in 1985 and have been talking about Constitutional / libertarian principles since before then. Hardly anyone listened, even to a great man like Dr Paul. Sometime in the early 2000’s I realized the consequences had to come to wake people up.
Here we are.
Next time you see Dr Paul, ask him about 911, and why he still believes the gov’t BS about what happened that day!
Has he flipped?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/ron-paul-dons-911-truther-tin-foil
You are right on the mark.
I worry for my woke and brainwashed adult Children.
You know, admin., I have seen people who I have been close to fall into the gutter, or hit bottom, as they say. One called out to God and found restoration. The other seems to have been sucked into a black hole. At this point I don’t know if she will ever come out of it. Sometimes they don’t. They just die.
Which will we be? I don’t make predictions. I found out the hard way not to do that, unless I am well over 50% sure of my prediction. All I know is either way, the path is full of booby traps, pot holes and deep ravines on both sides.
Have a good evening, ya’all. I’m going to bed.
Nicely said Mary Christine .
Well, 2010 Texas gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina read everything Frederic Bastiat wrote and quoted his expertise often as well as Mises, Ron Paul, etc. etc. Can you imagine the status quo good ole boy Texas GOP labeled her a “911 Truther”???? Glenn Beck can tell you all about it.
No,he actually cant….((((they))))would not let him play on the radio no more…….
“I don’t know when, but I sense it won’t be long.”
I give it one or two years, from now.
Get out of large cities. Now.
Get out of US-controlled countries.
You have maybe 6-9 months to do so in an organized way, thereafter you will only be able to flee with the shirt on your back.

But, Jefferson worried that the people – and the argument goes back to Thucydides and Aristotle – are easily misled. He also stressed, passionately and repeatedly, that it was essential for the people to understand the risks and benefits of government, to educate themselves, and to involve themselves in the political process. Without that, he said, the wolves will take over. —Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
Here is a way out of this: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/apathy-is-the-fire-in-which-we-burn

We confide in our strength without boasting of it,
We respect that of others without fearing it.

You people are way too angry to think straight. The fight is between a European style authorities based form of governmentas developed by the Catholic Church since 800 A.D. and the American style form of government based on revenue stream agglomeration. The former got a lot of egg on its face in the last couple of years. The kind of thing you’d expect, when someone is strangled by a boa constrictor. All of these forms of governments have their weak spots. The American’s is its inability to deal with partiality, hence it needs to bribe people out of it. The European’s is its inability to deal with organically emerging realities, hence it needs to step back until the situation has settled and new authorities on it are recognized. The communists have successfully analyzed the European’s nature and supported counter authorities since the 2. half of the 20. century, but that proved insufficient. These counter authorities have since become a tool of obfuscation and justification, but as such the dosage is critical and this can again be exploited by changing it by adding additional support.
If you go into the details, it becomes quite complicated. The simplest image is that of a game of musical chairs in which the participants hope to win the ring of power: to him, who has, shall be given, and from him, who has not, shall even be taken what he thought he had – Jesus Christ, though usually attributed to Karl Marx. The whole thing becomes more of a Chinese finger trap with every step of the way. One should at least try to keep track of what’s going on.
There is a lot of debate about voting, going back and forth between it doesn’t do any good but what else do we have other than random violence that doesn’t win.
The reason we are lost is because we have no real leaders to direct the sportiness, and to reap the benefits of attaining political power through a barrel, as Mao might say. W/o a leader and an organization, few will take that first step and no one will take the 2nd step after the first group gets made an example of. E.g., J6 people.
So find people IRL locally and at the state level. Encourage them to run for office, vote for them, run for office yourself, pander for votes. It is not possible to purely voting our way out of this, and no way for pure RL fedposting to get us out of this. We need both. Organization and power at the local and state levels. Anything else is just internet bullshit.
Abbott and a handful of NG are causing more fear and advancing things to where we want them to go better than any amount of voting alone or RL fedposting could. Even though everyone with half a brain knows Abbott will inevitably cuck. But imagine someone who’s actually on our side in a governor’s office, with some balls.
“It’s like in chess, when the timing’s right, you strike. See ? They are positioning their pieces all over the world. Soon, the signal will be gone and they’ll attack.”

I memed the Bastiat quote for easy sharing among visual learners.
Bastiat’s quote refers to France as “a nation,” which was correct when he wrote it (before its current, permanent cultural enrichment). Problem is the FUSA is not one. It is multiple nations that never cohered into one. Which might mean our situation is even worse.
