Does anyone here have suggestions on books, articles, perspectives regarding decentralized political power and how it might be utilized in USA? Feasible, not really feasible? Something has to change and I am curious if some form of removing DC control might not help. Interested in any and all views on this. Thanks.
The tenth amendment require co-ordination with states, counties. If you can work it, you can carve out freedom, via heritage, culture, wise use, etc. few know how to use it.

RFK, Jr. knows all about these white, fibrous clots. Two years ago he spent 30 minutes talking to the most-famous embalmer whistleblower, Richard Hirschman.
A good starting point for research.

oh good i don't have to search for it! thx
Dr Malone made it clear to public about what Covid “vax” is. Him and his colleagues indicted Fauci Inc. It used to be illegal to have Pharma ads on TV.
So, Martenson has been wrong about "Impending Doom!" for a couple decades now, and has managed to monetize his...insanity? Paranoia? ? Imagine the delusional creeps living in bunkers still following him;{ I fell for all that "The WORLD IS GOING TO EXPLODE" nonsense and sold stocks I would have 100s of millions on. Fucking thing that differentiates you, Jim, from the Martenson plague on society? You can admit when you're wrong.
No longer a San Diegan.

As a follower of Jesus Christ who supported Donald J. Trump in the last election; I decided to pass on a link I received about President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. As can be seen, Jared Kushner's investment company has acquired $4.8 Billion from middle east oil sheiks.
A critical thinker using linear logic would ask the questions; did the middle east oil oligarchs invest $4.8 Billion in Jared Kushner because he is a genius and savvy investor? Or are they buying influence in the Trump White House? Also take notice of the person in the background of the photograph, It is none other than President Donald Trump's Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent:

ALL BUT BLINDED by whatever good Trump has and may yet accomplish in his term as President, is the fact that, ultimately, like all presidents who have preceded him, Trump will advance America further along on her suicidal trek to the precipice of moral depravity and destruction
For those who will find this difficult to accept, it cannot be otherwise being Trump's presidency will only help perpetuate this biblically abominable Constitutional Republic, born of the biblically seditious Constitution, upon, God only knows, how many more generations of our posterity.
There’s not one national problem in America today—criminal civil "leaders," government-financed in utero infanticide, sodomite “marriages,” Synagogues, Mosques, and Temples devoted to false gods dotting America’s landscape, international entanglements, America’s crumbling economy, runaway debt, and taxes on nearly everything, etc.—that cannot be traced back to the framers’ rejection of the Bible's moral law as supreme.
"For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water." (Jeremiah 2:13)

AMEN!!!
Considering that the Europeans who migrated to North America left behind the tyranny of the Catholic and Episcopal Churches and founded a country where such could not rule as completely under kings and aristocracies holding people down, it was a good thing and I think you're missing this point. It was never promised or advertised to be the Kingdom of God on earth. That hasn't materialized as it will and it won't happen by your hand.
Good morning, Paul!
You're certainly correct on one point - that, is, the Kingdom of God won't happen [by my hand. because it's already been initiated by God's "hand" in the 1st-century AD, with a commission for His true subjects to advance His Kingdom here on earth *as it is in heaven,* per Matthew 6:10 & 33, Romans 13:1-7,* and related passages: There's no where in heaven where Yahweh is not sovereign or where His morality (as codified here on earth in the Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and civil judgments) are not supreme. We've got some work to do!
"...the New Testament declares that this kingdom relationship has existed since the second chapter of Acts when the first Judahite Israelites, in faith and repentance, were immersed into Christ. Before this event in the book of Acts, John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostles all preached that the kingdom of God was at hand:
'In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven 36 is at hand. (Matthew 3:1-2)
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' (Matthew 4:17)
'These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, …But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' (Matthew 10:5-7)
'…if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.' (Matthew 12:28)
"Either the kingdom was literally at hand when Jesus made this last statement, or He was casting out demons by Beelzebub, just as the Pharisees accused. In Mark 1:15, the kingdom is described as being at hand because its preparation time was fulfilled:
'Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.' (Mark 1:14-15)
"Perhaps the most potent proof that the kingdom of Christ has already been established is that the Apostles were told that some of them would live to see the kingdom restored:
'And he [Jesus] said unto them [His disciples], Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.' (Mark 9:1)
"In Acts 1, the Apostles anticipated the restored kingdom in their lifetime, and, in Acts 2, it was indeed restored with power on the day of Pentecost. The renowned 18th-century commentator Matthew Henry agreed:
'…the kingdom of Christ began … immediately after his ascension, and will continue in the doing till the mystery of God be finished.' 37
"Following the events in Acts 2, the 1st-century Christians proclaimed Jesus to be a reigning King and themselves to be citizens of His kingdom – not sometime yet future or merely in heaven, but then and there:
'But the Jews which believed not … set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason … crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.' (Acts 17:5-7)
'Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins….' (Colossians 1:12-14)
'As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.' (1 Thessalonians 2:11-12)
'I John, who also am your brother, and companion [fellow partaker, NASB] in tribulation, and in the kingdom….' (Revelation 1:9)
"Redemption through Jesus’ blood results in deliverance from the power of darkness. Because we are delivered from the power of darkness into the kingdom, the Colossians’ passage demands that if the kingdom is not in existence now, then redemption and forgiveness of sins are not yet valid. If the kingdom is yet future, no one has been delivered from the power of darkness, nor partaken of the inheritance of the saints. In short, no one has yet become a Christian.
'In Acts 17:7, the disciples were described as already serving Jesus as their King on earth, according to His laws. The very fact that Rome persecuted, imprisoned, and murdered Christians demonstrates the Romans understood that the kingdom the Christians preached and lived was an extant rival kingdom. Had Christianity been merely a religion, Rome would not have concerned itself with Christianity anymore than it did with the other religions in its realm. Christendom’s King, His kingdom, and His laws posed a threat to the Roman Empire, just as Daniel prophesied.
'And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.' (Daniel 2:44)
"The kingdom is currently under the rule of non-Christians, not because it has yet to be established, but because Christians have bought into the lie that the kingdom doesn’t exist on earth at this time. They have consequently abdicated leadership of society. The church has become governmentally and culturally impotent because Christians have been convinced that everything outside the four walls of their church buildings is off-limits to them as Christians...."

Amen!! Praise Yaheweh!!!! Anyone whom denies this truth, whether they attempt to verify or seek truth or not, are simply examples of Proverbs 18:2...
Good day to you, Ted! I agree with all the Scriptures you've provided and never meant to imply otherwise. I was talking about America, the subject you brought up in your first comment, which was never presented or intended to be the Kingdom of God on earth. However we do have the promise you alluded to in Daniel that His Kingdom will one day fill the whole earth. That's in progress now as God is disintegrating the kingdoms of this world with the Stone taken out of the Mountain without hands.
Sorry, if I misunderstood you!
Yes, I was talking about America, America, not being the Kingdom, but being only a part of the earth that His subjects here in America have been commissioned to dominionize on our King's behalf.

<< Dr. Chris Martenson, is an economic researcher and futurist...>> huh? A WHAT???? (get a grip, Kunstler) What in heck is that? When I read "economic researcher" and "futurist" I am reading a guy who is totally making shit up. Where are those job categories in real life?????
Dear JHK: This guy Martenson doesn't know shit. This is just crap. Why are you partnering with him? Get rid of him. It is the same sort of garbage I see everywhere else. I watched the whole damn five minute video, or most of it! I do not see Martensom offering anything new on why persons do not go into depth. Just another phony saying, "Oh, I am the one. Everybody should follow ME. ME ME ME. I go into depth." I have not seen it.
(Ah, but I think one needs to click on his name to find the video. It is a five minute video showing some anti-Tesla protests in Canada, and they do not want to debate the guy. Tough, huh?)
The good doctor quickly diverted to political mumbo jumbo when asked about "why are we still pushing the vax?" When it's fairly well known it's damaging.
Getting better known.
Great listen. Gold has no conscience. Just tells the truth without manipulation. Listen, see and understand. Does not mean buy or sell! Observe!
Solid gold, man. Gee, Charlie. You know a lot, man. You sure are brilliant. You from Canada?
Gold is sending a clear signal, the financial plumbing is getting clogged. Too much debt with impaired collateral plus trust eroding. Where da money honey? Lol.
Just south of Canada
I would be interested in deposing some high level CDC employees that quit after the vaccine rollout; Nancy Messonier- Head of Statistics or Ann Suchat - Deputy Director. There is some culpability in these team players and as Jim says in hundreds more that have been silent. It feels like wild Indian rabid contrarians firing at the circled wagons and the return fire is eerily quiet. I have friends that STILL believe millions of lives were saved by the mRNA shots.
Huh? "Savvy Southerner"? Are you culpable in slavery???
The Pharma business model requires heavy investment (100-300million) in frequent failures. They may get some 'winners', like Ivermectin, but in general it's a low probability bet on the research. So it makes business sense to hype marginal gains and obfuscate potential problems while buying political help. A string of research failures is unlikely to lead to an admission of business insolvency, the next product may be a winner. They are not going to fold a multibillion dollar company with a "We tried". The model is precarious thus the advertising and political payola.
Good points, Savvy Southerner. Wow. l And I just dissed ya! I guess I am just a little bit prejudiced agin' the American South, sorry about that.

Many thanks for this. Will spread it around.
Dr Martenson's testmony before the European Parliament was frighteningly eye-opening
