I think we're well past the point of words, political, legal or dialogue processes solving many problems. The Plandemic drew a distinct line in the sand that .gov will find is quite a minefield of violence if crossed. Meanwhile, the sideshow of lawfare and other distractions takes focus from the other predicaments of The Long Emergency. We'll most likely find out the reality of economic decline, contraction, and the rise in numbers of those "who have nothing to lose" will create new pressures that engulf what passes as "issues" in today's news.
"...and the rise in numbers of those 'who have nothing to lose'..." ~ P. Robert Thorson
That's probably the critical threshold right there insofar as enough people feeling they have nothing to lose may then feel the freedom to make some groundbreaking changes they wouldn't have otherwise.
As long as enough people are comfy enough, however, things that could lead to their uncomfyness won't be addressed, at least sufficiently, if at all, to make any difference.
I'm waiting for and curious about the time, if it comes, when the American pressure-cooker lid finally blows off, and what's going to be the spark, or if America simply fizzles away in a long-drawn-out process.
They say that freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. Could be.
The last 25 years has seen a economic roller coaster of "squeeze, release.....squeeze, release" - especially for the lower classes. The Dot.Com bubble, 9-11, the 2008 downturn, curious equity flow issues, the rise of the crypto scams, the Plandemic, etc. While some are saying be patient, I think Trump 2.0's honeymoon is drawing to a close. The actions coming out of the administration are too little, and way too late - and the wrong ones - to help out a totally beaten down blue collar worker.
There's little to no resilience left in many parts of the economy, at least in terms of supporting the higher standard of living we've enjoyed in the U.S. for the last 80 years. It appears that several sharp lurches downward are imminent, and I think tariffs will be the catalyst/scapegoat blamed when it fact the foundation has been crumbling for decades. I think the only thing left to debate is whether the policies have been intentional to bring about a crash, or more "organic" as how other collapses of civilizations are described.
The working man won't care about the causes - he'll just be in reaction mode, and that probably won't be pretty.
I think Trump should go full on bull in China shop on the deep state. The majority of Americans would be behind him, damn the torpedoes! Go full berserker on them and get it over with. We have had enough.
Part of Trump's election platform was about the 'working man'. The moment the working man sees Trump as not living up to his end of the bargain could be what blows the lid off America. Working men are, generally, a tough, no-bullshit lot. Recall our Trucker Protest here in Canada. They deliver the food that goes on our tables. Ya, sure, the gov't dicked around with their bank accounts, but that was gesturally-token, no pun intended. Maybe keep tabs on what the average working men and women say about their clock ticking for Trump.
That closely relates to the surprising popularity of the Luigi Mangione fan club. Could they be those who have nothing to lose?
Even if not, it indicates that there may be more than a few other Luigis.
Regarding the foreign invaders, they are only in it for the money, and as soon as that stops or becomes worthless, they are done. The same for any other hired mercenaries too.
We're close now, Mark - words having no meaning. It all depends on what civilization you want. I don't have much runway left in front of me, but this is not the civilization I want - nor where it's headed - for our children.
I agree, Ron. The system itself is too corrupt to correct itself or reduce its size. Drastic measures must be taken. Everything has to be purged and reduced to rubble and a new system must rise up and replace it. Really, what that means is violence. Unfortunately. But these people will not give up their power, glory and cash cow of their own volition and the courts are wasted. The people must decide how this is resolved. Sooner or later, they will have to. I'll probably be dead by that time but who knows.
That's going to happen in the tribulation, Cankerpuss. Three-quarters of the human population of the world will die. In really nasty ways. Everything will be destroyed, and thus made worthless to the point that "they will cast their gold and silver into the streets " "They will pray for death, but they will not find it" until the judgments are done. There are ten, mirroring those in Exodus, but worse.
A date has been set for the return of the Messiah: 2033. Sounds more like human calculation than anything divine, but that's your religion in a nutshell.
CP - you are exactly right! Burn it all down and let it rise again with a newly calibrated moral compass. Stay positive! You deserve to see it all happen my friend.
The problem is the "higher" education Democrats love to say they have intelligence and education over us simpleton rednecks but that kind of schooling removes the commonsense detector element innate in most humans.
It seems like the smarter and more educated they think they are the dumber they actually are.
Mary, teachers are largely folks who could not compete in the real world. Judges and politicians are folks that could not compete in the real law world. Is it any wonder we are where we are as the country is under the control of these loser groups?
If Trump plays the тАЬI will be a good little boyтАЭ role, he is done. NOW. BTW, this means that if the SCOTUS does not stop the district judges from making decisions for the whole country, Trump has to tell the judiciary to Eff off, and come and get him as he make things right. He needs MAGA 100% behind him with that and thanks to RINO infestations, that might not be the case.
Right now, the manifestations of how deep a cesspool we are in may be showing itself.
There is no precedent the progressives won't break. They don't believe in the nation state, or laws, or tradition. They only know raw power. There are no rules anymore.
When the FF, the politicians of the day, put together the Constitution, it became so watered down with the assignment of power that little was definitely assigned to the elements of government.
The best example is the judiciary, where the SCOTUS is identified, and тАЬany Federal courts as the Congress deems necessaryтАЭ. ThatтАЩs it. What we see today is the accumulated idiocy of generations of Deep Staters. Section one gives just about all the law-making power to the Congress, which due to party ineptitude they have essentially given to the president much of it. Right now, immigration and tariffs are in the hands of the president but the Constitution says the power is in the Congress. The Constitution is a guide and does little in controlling the ability of the politicians to change it when it fits their agenda. It is the responsibility of the SCOTUS, not district judges to stop the politicization of the DC scene and adhere to the Constitution. Uh huh, right!!!!!
The key to all of it is the deceptive and soulless media. Without the endless soapbox even some of these judges would change their tune. I'm not sure what exactly can be done beyond the fact of how discredited they've become for most Americans since there are still enough brainwashed to apparently keep them relevant enough to rile up the sheepiest of sheep for Soros & co. to send out into the streets.
Bringing back the Smith Mundt Act would help. Obama repealed it. The act made it illegal for media to be used by the govt for propaganda against the citizens. It is a tool of the left to nudge, coerce and brainwash, to lie.
There is a lot of nepotism between Democrat officials and the legacy media. But do they have any real impact anymore? Viewership is way down for network and cable "news". Print media readership is nonexistent. The do-called new media - podcasts, substacks, blogs - are in their infancy and as such are by definition not stable. I feel like I am wandering the desert in search of reliable information. But it is oddly liberating because I wind up reading obscure material to ferret out the truth. It is kind of like law school.
As long as 90+% of soulless sellout (my word for legacy) media they still have a HUGE impact in terms of creating the illusion of anything resembling a real and legitimate "resistance" or fight among the populace. And it's far bigger than democrats as roughly half the republicans will swing whichever way the wind blows (e.g., most will side with the pharma sickness & death cult). As I mentioned, the funding for the perpetuation of the illusion in the streets through Soros Inc. and any other funders is also critical for the images of "protests", littered with paid actors and organizers amidst all the boomers, to be aired nationwide. Nonstop propaganda not only works, it works very well because most people are too busy, or simply disinclined, to think and research for themselves.
Admittedly, the media is teetering and has lost even more credibility, but it had been awfully low already when the vast majority of the population bought into the scamdemic and many remain very heavily influenced by that propaganda. I presume you are not from a family which would have liked you censored for your opinions and possibly discriminated against for your medical decisions, as in, choosing not to poison yourself. While the covid psyop is (mostly) over, there is no doubt that most of the people who bought into it all hook, line, and sinker will only ever go so far in coming to terms with the fact they were intentionally lied to about everything from the get-go. Most will believe in "mistakes" and "over-reach", and so forth. They will not be able to come to terms with the reality, which is very likely to be repeated (at least attempted) within the next decade or two.
The creation of mass illusion is the foundational business of the entire system in which we live-- from the DoD to Congress to the consumer culture which relies on mass media. Do not underestimate it until we can smell its rotting decay more pungently.
On the new/alternative media, you must be pretty new to it yourself because much of it is not very new and has been well-established in the sphere for many years. Of course, those people have mostly been kicked off of many platforms and already had enough of a following to survive by just giving up on youtube & twitter and such. If you keep searching I'm sure you'll come across many of them and be able to discern the info you could trust best over time. James Corbett would be just one example that's been around forever and put out a ton of incredible info/work.
Ben - I appreciate your sentiments, but I will never fucking self-censor. When we do, their job is done.
They've already done me, they use the playbook of cowards. Had a contentious conversation with the Editor of our local paper over a letter I'd written. They finally published it.
If interested in reading, Copy & Paste in a new browser.
Next day, whoever does their social, led their Twitter (NKA X) feed with my letter, trying to get pushback against me personally.
The first comment? "Has Ron Anselmo been arrested yet for inciting violence?" It was a complete setup, start to finish - the paper and their "commenter".
The comments didn't say, "Has the letter writer...", I was personally named to imbed this in my dossier. Lenders, prospective employers? Hey, what's this? It was a personal attack and smear - their full intent.
It was clearly an attempted character assassination, my lawyer says defamation hinges upon monetary damages, so no claim there.
That is true Ben. But my concern is for Ron's safety for having dared to speak freely than for what Democrats think about him. They are like the Arabs we now call Palestinians in that they have rejected every single attempt at a meeting of the minds. They only want victory no matter the cost. They would exterminate you, me, and Ron and think they had saved their democracy.
No Lugh it really does not take that long a couple of hours with enough heat applied.
It was also far easier when the victims were starved to death.
In 2008 San Diego had massive forest fires one good rainstorm took care of a large amount of that ash.
Ashes to ashes dust to dust.
It is simply amazing how far some of you will go to deny that millions of people were murdered by Nazis cremated and disposed of and not just the Jews you hate so much.
You are aware that the judges are not backed by the Constitution that their existence is set by the Congress. Like Madison vs. Marbury and yes Roe vs, Wade, the judiciary is over stepping its bounds, taking power that is not challenged. Trump needs to flip these little dictators off and go about his business.
Let's default to Occam's Razor - a headshot from 300 yds out will achieve the same results and is much more expedient. Think of the savings in time and resources.
Once you cross that line you are in a different civilization. "Ain't no fun when the rabbit has the gun."
Save that for when words no longer have any meaning.
I think we're well past the point of words, political, legal or dialogue processes solving many problems.

Yes Zazzy, and "those who have nothing to lose", at least once had something. So, they'll be more incendiary and have a relentless will to fight.
The reliance upon our replacements, from without our borders, to overtake us will fall short.
Having never had anything, they've lost nothing - their fire not burning as hot.
Nicely put. It all comes down to force. Not the Black robes, nor the Blacks, but the black rifles will decide.
That's a very good point, Ron, the concept of relativity, such as what one loses, relative to what they had as extra motivation.
The last 25 years has seen a economic roller coaster of "squeeze, release.....squeeze, release" - especially for the lower classes. The Dot.Com bubble, 9-11, the 2008 downturn, curious equity flow issues, the rise of the crypto scams, the Plandemic, etc. While some are saying be patient, I think Trump 2.0's honeymoon is drawing to a close.

We can't make them do anything. Nor the Russians. We have to negotiate - and that means understanding the above.
Find the people who off shored our industrial base to China and hang them.
That could be another card played or not played that either brings down the house of cards or keeps it up, at least a little longer.
Popcorn times...

They cling to their hero even as he talks about our great illegal immigrants. Same thing as last time. He never intended to throw them all out.
Let Trump make some kinds of 'mistakes' that directly and adversely affect the working men and women and we'll see what happens.
That closely relates to the surprising popularity of the Luigi Mangione fan club. Could they be those who have nothing to lose?

Will people be disappointed when there isn't a rapture/ tribulation, and we're not in the so called "End Times?"
Yes, I believe so. Your reply was to just above?
Sadly, it's pretty close to that time.
One of the end results of these Woke Jacobins was removing the meaning of words. They have been pretty damned successful.
No one is very certain what truth is nowadays.
Truth is common sense.
The problem is the "higher" education Democrats love to say they have intelligence and education over us simpleton rednecks but that kind of schooling removes the commonsense detector element innate in most humans.
It seems like the smarter and more educated they think they are the dumber they actually are.

Problem is, if Trump sets these precedents, tomorrow the Dems will use them as well. That's how we've gotten progressively more effed in general.
There is no precedent the progressives won't break. They don't believe in the nation state, or laws, or tradition. They only know raw power. There are no rules anymore.
IMHO, Mary.

That's not Occam's Razor. This is: When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
An alternate paraphrase: The simplest solution is always the best solution.
That's Sherlock Holmes.
Ron in these times this kind of post might lead you to some trouble not worth going through.
This is the exact kind of post Democrats would love to point to and say see they are violent and this guy in particular is calling for violence.
Ben - I appreciate your sentiments, but I will never fucking self-censor. When we do, their job is done.

Yeah, people get like that after you incinerate their kids.
Study up on ovens before you lament incineration.
That's what I did. I simply asked myself, after a lifetime of belief, "well, how did they do it?" As in the actual, physical logistics.
Crematoriums are easy to build and just take lots of fuel.
Hell, you can burn a body completely to ash with just wood as a fuel ancient people did it all the time.
Takes a long time. They couldn't have done it in the alleged time frame. Plus where are the mountains of ash?
No Lugh it really does not take that long a couple of hours with enough heat applied.
It was also far easier when the victims were starved to death.
In 2008 San Diego had massive forest fires one good rainstorm took care of a large amount of that ash.

And the ashy hills? But no, flat. And the new soil would bear a likeness of its source.
Buried and spread around stop being obtuse.
Where is the Prussian blue that should be on the walls?
OMG "They are like the Arabs we now call Palestinians in that they have rejected every single attempt at a meeting of the minds."
What total male bovine excrement, Lynne.
Every single attempt at a meeting of the minds has been so heavily in favour of the apartheid ethnosupremacist State as to be a sick joke.
You need to start hanging out with a better class of losers my dear.
And you should be ashamed of yourself
Says one of the ones I was referring too. You illustrate my pount beautifully. Thanks.
Nope. No significant issues are resolved that way. You just get a new crop of fools. Accountability must be built into the system
You are aware that the judges are not backed by the Constitution that their existence is set by the Congress.
