“How many of these places where polite society turns out to be provably insane do we have to see before we stop taking their judgment on anything as significant.” — Bret Weinstein
The USA is a runaway train with a dead man in the engineer’s seat. The conductor goes through the cars assuring the passengers that everything is fine. . . never mind the screeching wheels on the curves. . . or the blinding strobe effect of low sunlight passing through the trees out the window at a hundred and forty mph. . . or the bump that made half the stuff in the overhead luggage rack jump out. More than half the people on-board are at tachycardia levels of fright — some are screeching — but the other less than half just remain fixed on their phones and laptop screens. They can’t be bothered to look out the window. . . .
Okay, that’s a metaphor. But if you’re a citizen of our country and care about it, these are the matters you’d better pay attention to, because they are all going off the rails:
The war in Ukraine. We started it in 2014 to mess with Russia and Russia is going to finish it. Who knows what our real motives were. A resource grab? A desperate ploy to erase our national debt by creating a global fiasco? Sheer psychopathic hatred of this Putin fellow? We can’t bring ourselves to acknowledge the failure of this ill-conceived venture. Instead, our feckless allies in Europe are foolishly rattling their sabers, apparently forgetting that you to don’t bring a sword to a nuclear missile fight.
Mr. Macron in France affects to offer up his army for slaughter on the blood-soaked plains of Ukraine, just as the Ukrainians offered up a half a million of their young men so that Victoria Nuland could feel good about herself. Mr. Macron is insane, but the society he presides over is collectively insane, so perhaps he represents them well. Similarly, Olaf Scholz in Germany, whose top generals were caught on a leaked recording last week discussing their plan to blow up the Kerch Bridge that connects Crimea to Russia. Do you understand that this would be a direct attack on Russia, an act of War by NATO? And what the obvious consequence would be?
The phantom government of “Joe Biden” is too weak and mindless to join any negotiation. Ukraine and Russia are up to some kind of cross-talk down in Riyadh with Prince MBS. Even Mr. Zelensky went down for a day, though video appears to show him coked-up, sniffling and snarfling, not a good sign. If ever there was a time to end this stupid conflict, it’s now, before the Russian election. After that, terms will only be more difficult for Ukraine, up to direct custodial supervision instead of remaining a nation. It was never any of our business (though the Biden family, BlackRock, and the CIA saw fabulous opportunity to profit there).
Next is the border. You saw last year how the blob elite greeted the transfer of illegal immigrants to their happy little island of Martha’s Vineyard. (They were not amused by Governor DeSantis’s prank, and off-loaded the mutts post-haste.) But that same smug demographic doesn’t care if hundreds of thousands are distributed to the big cities, which are now fiscally destabilized by them to an extreme, probably to bankruptcy.
Of course, that is not the main thing to worry about with what altogether amounts to millions of border-jumpers flooding our land. The main reason to worry is what the blob that invited them here intends for them to do, which, you may suspect, is to unleash mayhem in the streets, malls, stadiums, and upon our infrastructure just in time to derail the election — perhaps even to make war on us right in our homeland. The US government is paying for this whole operation, you understand, funneling our tax money to international cut-out orgs who set up the transfer camps in Panama, and buy the plane tickets for the mutts to cross the ocean, and coordinate with the Mexican cartels to shuttle this horde of mystery people among us to work their juju for the Democratic Party. The pissed-off-ness of the public has passed the red line on this.
A third FUBAR is the lawfare campaign of the Democratic Party and its regime in power against the citizens of this land. This folder includes overt and obvious political prosecutions by DA’s and AG’s who make election promises to “go after” individuals without such niceties as probable cause. It includes the gigantic new scaffold of inter-agency censorship and propaganda. It includes the psychopathic struggle sessions mandated by “diversity and inclusion” policy. It includes election-rigging directed by the likes of Marc Elias and Norm Eisen, getting states to fiddle laws on voter ID and mail-in ballots. It includes the political protection of rogue groups ranging from looter flash-mobs to Antifa anarchists who bust up things and people and burn buildings down. It includes state officials who peremptorily kick candidates off the ballot. It includes a nakedly biased judiciary, and especially the use of the DC federal district court to punish people extralegally, unjustly, extravagantly, and cruelly. In short, lawfare is the complete perversion of law, and we-the -people are entreated by reprobate officials such as Merrick Garland and Letitia James to accept it.
A fourth item on this list is the US economy which has been overwhelmed by maladministration of an overgrown monster bureaucracy, and the gross (perhaps fatal) mismanagement of the government’s money. The people of this land are not being allowed to do business, to find a livelihood, to transact fairly. “Joe Biden’s” shadow string-pullers are messing as badly with the oil and gas producers as they have messed with Ukraine. And they are doing it in pursuit of a laughable mirage: their “green new deal.”
John Podesta, the “clean energy czar” who replaced the Haircut-in-search-of-a-brain called John Kerry, sits on a $370-billion slush fund that can be used to just dole out to anyone and everyone a political patronage payoff, especially to janky “community” orgs and NGOs with fake agendas. This really just amounts to an asset-stripping operation that will leave the American people busted and with broken supply chains for everything. Instead of annual budgets, Congress raises the US debt ceiling by “continuing resolutions” to keep the government from shutting down. The national debt races to the $35-trillion mark. As interest rates on debt rise, our debt payments now exceed our military spending. You can be sure that our country will break down financially very soon.
The capper on today’s list is the nation’s health, the racketeering system we’ve set up to care for it, and the public health agencies of the government that enabled the Covid-19 operation to happen. The CDC continues to push vaccines that have killed millions of Americans and more millions around the world, and has probably compromised the well-being of millions more going forward. Corporate medicine — that is, your doctor, and your hospitals — is a sinking Titanic of grift and chaos. Try to get an appointment to even see a doctor for an emergency. Try to avoid being bankrupted by your treatment. Try to get out of a hospital alive. Yeah, it’s that bad.
The doctors have surrendered your trust in them with their lying and their bullshit. The current director of the CDC, Mandy Cohen and her predecessor, Rochelle Walensky, have knowingly presided over the mass killing and injuries imposed on the mRNA vaccinated. Hundreds of their deputies should be liable for prosecution, and so should many of the other prominent characters in the Covid Saga: Fauci, Birx, Collins, Baric, Bourla, Daszak, Califf, Woodcock, Hahn, and many more.
What are we going to do about any of this? Return to the metaphor. The runaway train is still picking up speed. You can’t just jump off at 150 mph. If you’re one of the passengers watching this in horror, maybe you can decouple your car, or get the conductor to it by any means necessary. Let’s say that each car behind the engine of this train is a state of the United States. Let the engine up front with the dead man at the controls ride that runaway to its terrible conclusion. Cut loose the cars behind it to take care of themselves, to slow down, get a grip on their situation, and make plans to find a better engine to pull the train. Decouple. Cut loose. It’s the only way.

Any chance, Jim, that you’ll propose decoupling our nation from the Zionist train hauling us to a totalitarian junkyard? I mean, before that trestle ahead of us, crossing Woke’s bottomless cultural chasm, gets ‘pulled’ like 7 World Trade Center the instant Netanyahu finishes wiping Israel’s ass with groveling goyim?
How is it that you missed AIPAC’s iron grip on our Executive, Legislative and Judicial levers of power as the ‘driver’ of our runaway train? You casually name our puppets who work for Israel’s Fubar Railroad but won’t admit that the engineer driving our out-of-control locomotive is named Casey Cohen.
Term limits are the only realistic way to subvert Israel’s political termites in DC. Every one of them is terrified of losing the hook-beaked money-funnels from DC, Hollywood, Wall Street, Brussels and Tel Aviv that funded their election campaigns.
Can you imagine the thundering tribulations, the world-wide chorus of “Oy Vey!”, when Jews realize they have to corrupt and bribe a new crop of political hacks before every election? They’d be too busy trying to find electable pedophiles to genocide Arab women and children.
Term limits will magically fix everything – after they magically have been implemented, that is.
Only if you also term limit judges and bureaucrats.
Or we can all get on the horn to Jesus, tell Him we’re sick of management and could He please come back a little early and straighten this out once and for all.
Everything is unfolding as it should. It ain’t our fault the story is a sad one. We didn’t write it. We just get to live it.
Humanity has written and lived the same sad story over and over.
If you’re saying it was plagiarized, from whom?
Are we talking term-in-office or term-of-life?
Everyone is term limited, see Zero Hedge.
Nothing can save the US Constitution. It is of the beasts and by the beasts and it can only serve a beast system.
its the bureaucrats that hold all the power and they NEVER change
The courts are allowing the border crisis, they refuse to act legally.
The magic will be sopped up like gravy on potatoes when both blue and red shuck DC’s shackles.
Whatever, whoever, arises as governance in DC’s place will have a short shelf life. Anything more would be immediately suspect if those serving in government were paid the minimum wage to ensure their fealty to service. Millionaires should exit Congress as paupers, not the other way around.
That’d make ‘One and Done’ an easy sell.
well… you eliminate corporate rights as people and you would fix an awful lot of items on any freedom list.
Term limits transfer power to the unelected.
“If we get caught they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth. So it doesn’t matter what you do, America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the World’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because it’s god’s will and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again, again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.” — Netanyahu at Fink’s Bar in Jerusalem in 1990
The GOP doesn’t work for US and never has.
They have always been the elitist enemy within. At some point the Democrats combined with them towards the same ends.
How about dual citizenship?
Ya can’t serve 2 masters. So, they don’t. They just serve Isra-hell.
That wouldn’t even work. Jews don’t need a formal passport to be able to flee to Israel. The only practical solution is to expel Jews.
Of course, you undoubtedly recognize the fact that they control both sides, which allows them to control the narrative. Every thought taken captive by most of the unsuspecting goyim has been inspired by Jewish counsel, rather it be on the right, middle or left. Their “world of their own” that they have been striving to achieve is now within their grasp. Soon, Noahide laws will become the law of the land.
Case in point for all of the doubters: Kunstler was born in New York City to Jewish parents, who divorced when he was eight. His family then moved to the suburbs on Long Island.
Lenin was credited with the statement: The best way to control the opposition is to lead it. In other words, they are covering all of the exits. In the not so distant future, we’ll reflect back on our present day dilemma as the “good ol’ days.”
When your home has been overrun with cockroaches, do you blame the cockroaches for doing what they were brought into existence to do, or perhaps blame yourself for refusing to call in the exterminators.
Give that some thought the next time you look in the mirror.
It’s the FUBAR we don’t or cannot recognize that’s goiing to get us, Jim.
(Thinking something along the lines of a rotting national electric infrastructure or the like.)
A note on the “leaked” German conversation. In a past life I was involved in such subterfuge to create disorientation and distrust among the enemy and to set the stage for false flag operations that would then have a ting of truth to them.
Was there a leak? Was there even a conversation? Is the supposed leak being used to assure that nothing happens to the Crimea bridge by raising the stakes too high to risk the assault? Right now, if the Crimea bridge collapsed of its own weight without any outside assistance, it would be provocation for a Russian retaliatory strike of epic proportions.
Since we cannot believe what we see or hear, then we must learn to think for ourselves, slowly, calmly thoroughly.
You’re overthinking it. The bridge has been attacked before. Russia might respond stronger than they did in the past, but that ain’t saying much. And false flags are unnecessary, just let another of the many attacks in the interior of Russia happen.
It does say something about the state of their relations with Germany to be bringing this up, though.

Indeed. It’s like the NYT’s recent article about 12 CIA bases in Ukraine. For them to be so candid for once raises its own red flags. Nothing is as it seems.
I wrote a very similar metaphor back in 2016, what seems like a different world ago. How remarkably fast things are now “progressing”…
————————————————-
Allow me to share an analogy with you about the world and our place in it (which you, if you are here, very likely intuitively understand already). The world moves along its own course as a freight train moves along its fixed track. That train has a tremendous amount of stored kinetic energy behind it as a great physical mass in motion. As that train gathers momentum, the direction that great mass moves becomes that much more difficult to alter or even slow down. If our world were that freight train, it is clear that our train is moving more and more rapidly; and if we have any logical foresight or even gut instinct at all, it is clear that our train is headed for a rather sheer drop-off in the (likely) not too distant future. The tracks do come to an eventual end as the Bible clearly demonstrates.
There is not a thing I (or you) can do to stop, slow or even alter that trains course. That is not my function as Christ’s ambassador. The world, led by the god of this world (satan), has its mind made up. It is moving along its chosen path. The tracks have been laid down. My function is to help you find the trains exit; and make no mistake, it is your choice either to ride or to get off. Gods Just Wrath has been temporarily postponed in favor of this dispensation of free grace. He is not imputing the world’s trespasses unto it (2 Corinthians 5:19). This means He is allowing the world to do whatever the world wants; consequences postponed. He is going to allow that train to careen directly off the cliff it is headed for (believing it can somehow right itself, by itself); when He has already made Perfect Provision for your (and anyone’s) exit. That is forgiveness of human sin in Christ… the psychology of the world be damned. The psychology of the world says be “self actualized” when God our Creator says be “Christ actualized”. I myself listened to the world for almost 48 years, searching for the ever important, ever elusive “self” to “actualize”; even taking the same study up in college back in the early 80’s. It is all vanity… Ecclesiastes 1. Praise Him that salvation has nothing to do with self (else all will fail) and everything to do with Him!
Colossians 2:8-13… “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you ALL trespasses;”
If you desire any help at all in finding that exit, please email me at gracecountrybiblechurch at yahoo dot com as, more than anything, I’d like to help you, whomever you are, wherever you are, in your search.
While the world is a tremendously fearful, dark, ugly and ultimately deadly place to those who are paying any attention at all; to those who look beyond the smoke and mirrors, the bread and circuses of modern life; such is not an issue for the man dead in Christ, and risen with Him by Whom all things consist (Colossians 1:17). Christ has triumphed over the power of satan, the god of this world, moving along the course of this world (Ephesians 2:2), whose very power is death itself; on your behalf. There is no reason to fear anything in this world. The saved man has overcome the world by way of Christ and in fact has a glorious future to look forward to!
Preach it, Brother!
Always try… 😊
I’ll tell you this much…it’s one thing to talk about the shadow of the valley. It’s entirely another matter when you’re standing in the middle of it. It takes a mile of guts to run that gauntlet…voluntarily of course. We’ll all be forced to run it eventually.
speak for yourself
Not me, I’ll be gone from here. Psalm 23 is a coming Kingdom prophecy and the Kingdom ain’t coming today.
Not only is God allowing it, but blinding the lost to the truth. Putting ourselves in the Master’s hands is the only way as you say.
Jesus Christ is ruler of Heaven and Earth right now. Knowing that really forces you to consider the state of the world. If the world hates you, know that it hated Jesus Christ first.
This world has a god, make no mistake and it isn’t Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJB… “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Well said. Grace and peace to you, brother.
“In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:”
Why did an inherently cruel act of cutting off a God-given, protective, nerve-dense part of a baby boy’s penis, often in the past without anesthesia no less, become so crucial to Christian spirituality?
It aint, that’s Central Scrotumizers problem – why he got baby/childhood mutilation trauma that manifests all over his bullshit comments
It never did. Circumcision was a covenant in the flesh between God and the physical children of Abraham.
The circumcision “made without hands” that characterizes the Christian is the spiritual cutting away of one’s sin nature creating the “new man” upon salvation. It is not physical.
The one thing science, religion, philosophy, etc have in common – endless visions of a brave new world.
Unfortunately, utopia ain’t coming.
Ephesians 1:10 KJB… “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”
Sounds like paradise to me!
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that says , I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but only he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. -Matthew 7:21
God’s wrath is upon America because of the false cheap grace “preachers” misleading the people.
Show me someone who says they keep the commandments and I’ll show you a liar.
James 2:10 KJB… “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
Grace is anything but cheap. It cost God more that any man can ever pay.
By the time we hang these Communists there won’t be much of this nation left to save…but the satisfaction of seeing them publicly hit the end of a rope might be enough for now.
The U.S. is finished. We are just waiting for the collapse. Every day it gets more corrupt, and the average braindead NPC gets more degenerate. Putin will probably nuke the U.S. at one point or these numerous sleeper cells, growing in number due to the open border, will trigger massive level terror attacks and wipe out our power grid. It’s just a matter of time. It will be surprising if we even make to the election. And Trump can’t fix this joke of a country anymore. He would have to defund and disband most of the government, especially military industrial complex, which he won’t do. And if he did it wouldn’t even matter since the average American is degenerate, apathetic woke piece of trash that will figure out a myriad of other ways to run the country into the ground.
