There's nothing stupid about the west, this is a controlled demolition of the west by our own treasonous government officials aided by NGOs and the UN. The heart of this madness is blackmail, what is it that you think Epstein was doing?

-----

Anchor: Congressman why do you think that so many democrats are committed to protecting the list of a dead pedophile. What possible national security implications could that have?

Congressman Burchett: What you're seeing so many times, my dear friend Marsha Backburn, I thought she was snubbed, that's why I got involved, but she can handle her own.

But when the democrat controlled senate did that I went to Chairman Comer in the republican controlled house and I said we need to fix this. This is wrong. And too many of my colleagues I'm afraid are compromised, uh, in this area for whatever reason. Somebody's whispered in their ear and said hey, you don't want something to come out on something else you better keep your mouth shut on this. And that's exactly what they've done. And um, it continues to go whether it's the honeypot the Russians used to use or something worse I don't know but but it's clearly, you see that up and down the line - you see good conservatives vote for liberal policies and frankly you see some liberals occasionally that will vote for something else.

So obviously the um, congress has been compromised and this continues on through the White House, through the Justice Department.. it's uh, the trash can is very deep. It uh, it's not a swamp it's an open sewer.

The American way of life as constructed by our founders is the only thing standing in the way total global domination, tyranny, and abject slavery. What you’re witnessing with the world falling into ruin is their global reset plan in action, where one entity will own and control everything on this earth including you.

Stop them at all costs.

While I agree completely about the debt illusion, (one of most important things I learned on Wall Street was "Debt will kill you"), all paper money systems throughout history have failed because of human weakness.

I think the current level of stupidity is unique in human history. It is unique because so many people have never lived so well before. As a result, they are removed from the ugliness and truth of reality. During college speeches I often ask "how long could you live if the power gird goes out?" In a modest percentage of the audience, it starts an interesting conversation of how do you survive without food, water, toilets, lights, heat, gasoline, medicine, transportation, etc. Most of this group has never seriously contemplated those thoughts. They have lived their whole lives without every thing about it because it has always been there.

The reaction of the great bulk of audiences is pure stupidity. They look at me as if that is the most ridiculous question ever asked. Of course there is always electricity. Food comes from the grocery store, water from the tap, gasoline from the pump, take drugs or doctors make you well, and electricity comes from the wall plug. Everybody knows that.

When I ask if they have ever cleaned a fish or gutted an animal to eat, they think I am mad.

I would add to Bonhoeffer's Stupidity, that without reality, there is no apparent cost in our society to being stupid. You will still survive. If nothing forces you to deal with physical reality and there is no real costs for not doing so, it is easy to believe in any other alternative reality. Just assume you will survive and you can believe anything.

We are experiencing a gigantic storm which will destroy everything that constitutes the foundation of the United States. This article provides one interesting perspective. But there are definitely other valid explanations and perspectives that help us understand why and how to correct the situation.

I have one fundamental question that nobody else seems to be interested in asking:

Why suddenly can Democrats get away with treasons and major crimes without any consequences?

I know the “apparent”answer is that the Department of Justice, the FBI and the law enforcement agencies have been captured.

If this is all we can say, then the United States is nothing but a Banana’s Republic.

I am appalled by the facts that even the city and local police who “stood down” during the BLM and Antifa riots, looting and burning didn’t have any consequences or accountability as a result. BLM criminals simply have zero worries and still roam free to commit more crimes in the next waves of violence called upon by Biden and Pelosi.

Forget about the November election. Trump will lose his shirt and pants if the election frauds are not resolved way before the election.

The disconnect with reality in this country probably could be dated to the post WWII economic boom, but the 60s brought in a clash of realities and brought us back to earth, but the powers that be learned a couple of lessons from that period in order to keep the reality disconnect propped up. 1. They learned their lesson from the Vietnam war never to allow direct war reporting as well as footage of all the caskets with American flags when dead soldiers were transported back to be buried. We got embedded 'journalists' with the Gulf war and now we barely get coverage of anything- just nonstop propaganda. 2) This connects with the inflation point, but life had to be made economically tougher for the working & middle classes because the 60s never would've happened if young kids couldn't flood to SF (or live wherever they wanted to migrate) and pack 10-12 people into large (and beautiful) 3BR houses in Haight/Ashbury and pay like $50 a month rent per person in order to live and then sit in the street and play a guitar and make some bucks and be given food and drugs, etc... Those are multimillion dollar homes now and even by 2000 the rent was probably 10x the amount as it was 30 years prior. Make college expensive and create debt, etc.... Clearly measures to make a youthful rebellion much much harder and nearly impossible today.

And, of course, the media went from pretty bad to downright Pravda level straight-up propaganda that a disturbing amount of people (mostly older) still cannot see through or fathom.

A highly organised, well funded (mostly by YOU the taxpayer!) and purposeful destruction of the idea and ideals of America (and west in general) by elitists and their deep state, corporate, and media (propaganda) partners, in the presence of "—a perfect storm of emotional dysregulation, lack of perspective, truculence, and gullibility" (WILFULL IGNORANCE) on the part of the masses.!

I don't look at those who fall for propaganda as being gullible when there is no other source of information. Many people I talk to only listen to MSN so it is the authors of the news who are misleading the people. Once the people finally get suspicious and investigate the questionable news they hopefully find the truth, however some will find Jimmy Jones instead. There needs to be a way to rate the truthfulness of each news agency that is easy to find on the internet. I don't see that happening anytime soon. The reverse is happening in Canada where the online harms bill can easily be used to silence people the government disagrees with. I read recently that 1/3 of Canadian government employees earn in excess of $100,000 per year. Sounds like that is much higher than industry rates. I read into this statistic that people earning high wages are unlikely to jeopardize their jobs for something as silly as morals.

"How could the directors of Anheuser-Busch be so disconnected from their customer base and the wellbeing of their company and its distributors? "

Because the directors of a large company like Anheuser-Busch don't hang out with the peasants. So they have no idea what a peasant's life is like, what the peasants like, what they don't like, what the peasants are thinking. This is our society today: We have a wealthy elite which includes corporate exec's of the large multinational corporations and it also includes the political class in DC, and we have the rest of us. The wealthy elite have no clue about what the lives of the rest of us are like, so they are out of touch regarding an advertising campaign for their company and they are out of touch with the voters. As a result, the political class in DC enacts policy that is often completely at odds with the will of the voters!

Excellent article!

The problem is the self anointed ruling ((establishment)) that owns the banks, 94% of all forms of media, Hollywood, big Pharma, immigration, search engines, and the judiciary.

Naming and removing them is literally the only topic of any importance on earth because until this happens, no amount of activism, well-meaning articles, or elections will make a dent in our collective suffering!

Most people except that their intellect is at a low level, and they simply follow suit because the television told them so.

If they were removed, and preferably punished, we would literally solve 90% of our problems in a matter of weeks.

This is not stupidity per say. The issue is that the left's worldview is built upon a foundation of lies, Lies that can not tolerate exposure to reality and facts. This is why the censorship is always coming from the left. All of the Elites and power centers of our society reside on the left. The so called Republicans in DC buy into the lies because as human beings we all want to get along so they abandon their principles early on once they are exposed to the Swamp in DC and they will never do what it would take to fundamentally change the culture/mindset of the DC Swamp.

The problem is the fact that the wave of reality always comes ashore and hits the lefts worldview built upon their lies and washes it back out in the sea of facts and truth with the debris being the deaths of the untold thousands/millions of the poor and deplorables who have to suffer because of the lies of the elites and the powerful who never suffer as a result of their failed policies.

We are now learning that the DC Swamp has enlisted the intelligence agencies and the DOJ who are actively engaged is subverting any possibility of the masses being able to actually vote for real change in DC. We are at a tipping point will we be pushed over the edge by the corruption in DC and reelect the Senile old man or will we step back from the edge for a brief 4 years with Trump. Or maybe will we look for real change and Vote for RFK Jr.

Stupid squared.

We're now supporting a genocide.

By supporting a genocidal racist apartheid state called israel.

And so many people rationalize this as acceptable.

Just to get to the core, it's the fluoride, that atrophies the pineal, so any 'higher' guidance is lost. Like loosing your conscience which then leads to all the other shenanigans.

“…debt financing of EVERYTHING has enabled us to become detached from reality…”

This is a brilliant remark.

However, it does not apply to common people. We still have to go out to work and slave-spend over 40% of our lifetime being very much connected to the reality of daily absence of purpose in life courtesy of our leaders.

But it certainly applies to all high-stake players. Where is the origin of this fiction? The stock exchange. Not the financial system. The stock exchange offers the benefit of “earning” undue revenues based only on the manufactured perception. Or destroying the competition based only on the manufactured perception. Remove the stock exchange from the equation and the economy will self-regulate.

“…we are now seeing is a reversion to the intellectual and emotional life of a 7th grader…”

No way. 7th graders are in a far better position and are far wiser than we, “adults”. Their minds have not been fully fixed, there is still some flexibility and openness - which are absent in adults, especially those who are prominent figures. These have invested their lifetime of choices, cash, fame, they won’t give up even if you show them 100% obvious proof that they are wrong.

As for the “reality” of money. All money is real, fiat or not. The particular amount of money - in exchange for service or product - is always real. The destruction of real (financial) life comes from what is aptly called intangibles. Patents, copyrights, licenses, royalties, goodwill, consulting, advisory services and marketing, the king of fiction. These are the areas where the price tag is completely disconnected from reality. Not because a patent for a drug is indeed so “expensive” - only because when the “intellectual property” is priced at absurd figures, tax reductions may be equally absurd, thus filling pockets of a few greedy “stakeholders” with more undue money. “Undue” meaning not earned, not produced, not created, not generated, simply grabbed off the table.

Remove intangibles from the commerce, and the economic life will self-regulate.

By the way, the so called open source/access and anti-social media are two grand measures whose purpose is to remove copyright and a lot of intellectual property. Someone should do something similar to patents and licensing, and we are starting a journey to stable life on the Earth.

'Stupid' is a MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Individuals are SO STUPID, they are beyond delusional, 'BELIEVING' (as opposed to THINKING) that they are not! At NO OTHER TIME in *cough* 'human' History, have individuals been SO PHUCKING STUPID! MOST have dipped BELOW the 'retarded' line!

NO ONE knows anything about ANYTHING!! I often say, 'I'm surprised that individuals still know how to WIPE THEIR OWN ASS!'!
