You know, I think many folks DO recognize the problem vs being “suckers” as you so indelicately put it. The problem we have is...what do we do to stop it? Jetting around to HI or other countries is all well and good but, quite frankly, you aren’t stopping it, either. We need the data but we need some creative leadership to help bring us together to storm the walls, so-to-speak. Our election system is broken so we can’t vote out the bad guys. If we somehow manage to vote in a good guy then that person is overwhelmed by the eist8ng system so that he/she can’t do anything constructive. Or becomes absorbed into the the corruption. Just what do we do with our money? No one answers that question unless you buy a book and the stupid book still doesn’t tell you what to do. How, then, do we opt out of the coming digital IDs and vaccine passports and CBDC which we will need in order to pay our property taxes so we can keep our homes? We get told to say “no” but not how to survive and keep our homes when we do. Quite frankly, if the world will leave me a.one I can probably survive out here just fine but there is that property tax thing. Again. A very basic thing that they will probably not accept cash or a check for. Just CBDC of whatever is put in place and in order to pay you have to show proof of whatever with your digital ID and passport. No one is addressing these things. Everyone keeps saying “well, let them try and take my property. I’ve got guns and a backhoe.” Fine. How long can you withstand a concentrated shootout before you get shot? Is that what we are supposed to do? Is that our resistance plan? If so, why aren’t we talking about that? I sure wish someone would answer these questions but so far as I can tell, everyone is looking important by zipping around the world talking to and interviewing with other important people. I don’t see any organization for resistance and I sure as heck don’t see any viable answers to how, exactly, do we say “no” and deal with the repercussions that come after.

Interesting article, the only issue that irks me is who are "we" in : "The answer is that we are perennial and incorrigible suckers."

I believe if you ask the typical American working hard to pay their bills and raise their families the vast majority have no interest in sending millions, billions, nor trillions to other countries, war, bio-labs, etc. Most of us are happy to fund local efforts: firefighters, police, infrastructure.

The issue is that the politicians have no interest in voting or using tax money in a responsible manner. D.C. is so corrupt I don't see any way to change.

I think it's gas-lighting the average American like you and me, to take what irresponsible politicians vote for and blame it on the public- who in reality has little say and essentially minimal power (I would say essentially no power as many are sent to jail for saying the wrong thing these days or being in the wrong place (J6)).

Our "representative democracy" is corrupt, with "elites" taking our money but representing only themselves and their donors. This is enabled by credit expansion and huge debt levels. Exactly the same as in Roman times.

Wow! Such truth!

I just posted this comment on one of Dr. Robert Malone’s substack articles of today. It applies here as well:

Most of the federal administrative state exists outside the bounds of the United States Constitution. The Constitution enumerates and grants very limited powers to the federal government. Powers not granted to the federal government are reserved to the states and the people by the Tenth Amendment. Congress has overstepped its authority creating unconstitutional agencies, like the Departments of Health and Human Services (along with all its subagencies) and the Department of Education. The courts have repeatedly failed to reign in Congress and the unconstitutional usurpation of power by federal agencies. Past practice, erroneous judgement, failure to act or time never makes the illegal “legal.” We desperately need a reckoning, a return to our Constitutional foundation of a very limited federal government.

Am looking forward to your research/discoveries regarding Lahaina. My brother lives in Hawaii. He told me Lahaina was in the local news, HSA and local networks, every day from August 8 to October 7. On October 8 it was displaced by Israel.

I have come to believe the following:

-- The Democratic Party, in general, and some of their main constituents, in particular, have adopted a dogma of unlimited spending via unlimited money-printing. They believe that the presses should just keep running, and faster, as each crisis is created.

-- They believe that since the USA is the main feed of money into the worldwide system(and it still is) the rest of the world is forced to fall in line, as in the past, it has.

-- The Democratic Party believes the continuous and iterative generation of crises is a means to their "end".

-- Their "end" is one party rule-- complete power over We the People.

It would REALLY be interesting to hear Ed Dowd pontificate on this theory!

That's well put and all true, but what is "our system"? Changing an outcome requires knowing its cause. There's a very specific reason why the US has spent over 90% of its history involved in armed conflict somewhere in the world: Credit expansion and constant war are the organizing principles of *statism.*

"Statism—in fact and in principle—is nothing more than gang rule. A dictatorship is a gang devoted to looting the effort of the productive citizens of its own country. When a statist ruler exhausts his own country’s economy, he attacks his neighbors. It is his only means of postponing internal collapse and prolonging his rule. A country that violates the rights of its own citizens will not respect the rights of its neighbors. Those who do not recognize individual rights, will not recognize the rights of nations: a nation is only a number of individuals. Statism needs war; a free country does not. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production...If men want to oppose war, it is statism that they must oppose. So long as they hold the tribal notion that the individual is sacrificial fodder for the collective, that some men have the right to rule others by force, and that some (any) alleged 'good' can justify it—there can be no peace within a nation and no peace among nations." --Ayn Rand

The US government and an overwhelming majority of its citizens stopped recognizing individual rights a long time ago. The eagerness with which so many people agreed that a cold virus is a good reason to destroy the Constitution is just the most recent proof of that.

My grandmother told me when O was about 12 around 1961 that FDR knew Pearl Harbor was going to be bombed and it was how he ended the Great Depression. War IS the answer apparently 😫

“Don’t bother me, I’m trying to get on with my life!”.

Ultimately results in the population burying their heads in the sand whilst their legs are dangling dangerously in the simmering cauldron......just not quite enough pain yet!!......hopefully the pain receptors will kick in before it’s all too late🥺

Don't forget the obvious reason we go from crisis to crisis. The build back better ilk have one main goal, depopulation. So expect lots of war, famine, and pandemic until they reach their number.

As Ed Dowd says, Covid was created to cover a massive financial crisis. And that was at 3% interest.

In the current banking crisis, there are lots of banks and other investment funds that hold huge amounts of low interest debt that if it was actually priced at it current mark to market value would bankrupt their holders, particularly small banks. Lots of Dead Bankers Walking. Of course, those banks are critical to home loans and small businesses which the Deep State tried to crush (successfully) during Covid.

One last thing to note is that the ChiComs are dumping US treasury's like there's no tomorrow. Let's hope that's a metaphor.
