There are no parties, there never have been. There is a vulture with two wings (left & right) standing on and picking at the carcass of the constitution and the people under it. Politics are mind control, and the sooner people wake up to this fact the sooner we can kick these loathsome parasites to the curb and start salvaging a future worth living in:
The globablists’ have successfully utilized the Red vs Blue, East vs West, Vaxxed vs Unvaxxed, Boy vs Girl, Gay vs Straight, Skin Color, Nationalistic, Religious, Social Class, and Culture dichotomies to exploit our innate tribal nature, and in doing so are dividing and conquering us. This ‘us-vs-them’ separation makes us easy to control and direct with simple angry thoughts about “the enemy” who isn’t really our enemy – while blinding us to the actual enemy behind the curtain pulling the puppet strings. If we could collectively recognize this for what it is the NWO wouldn’t stand a chance.
Most people will not act to secure their future, so long as they feel they have an advocate fighting for them in the public or political arenas. This is why Republican vs Democrat equals divide and conquer. The human mind is binary. Our thought process can often be boiled down into terms (often ultimatums) of – this or that – and our adversaries understand - very well - the art of this war.
They know that politicization is so effective at manipulating us because most emotionally connect their personal belief system to the belief system of their political party, and so then any attack on their party – legitimate or otherwise – is interpreted by their brain as an attack on themselves. Reason and logic then jump out the nearest window as raw emotion takes the helm, thus making them even more susceptible to the predatory controlling influences.
It's not just the government / politicians that have forgotten the Constitution, but the common person too. Our population has not studied the Constitution in school, thus producing generations and generations of uneducated people who have no idea what the role of government was intended to be.
Nor do I think turning our elections into mind-bogglingly expensive “entertainment” thereby ensuring any candidate who chooses to run will be beholden to whomever buys that candidate his/her seat.
Don't. Vote Trump national, even though he has utterly abdicated his duty to recant on Warp Speed, vote GOP for national legislative, and strategically local.
Don't write off the locals or the libertarians. I totally get not voting PsychoDem or GloboRINO. But I do say a vote of displeasure with the whole rotten apparstus is at least worth something, however meager it may be.
After the stolen election, which is our birthright, no candidate should be getting a “vote”. Americans are losing their freedoms at an alarming rate. Look at J6…despicable. The bioweapon fiasco…despicable. Ukraine…despicable. I’m ashamed to be an American today. And if you’re not angry, and it’s business as usual, you may in denial or cannot accept that the USSA is on life support. Americans have become apathetic, stupid, lazy, and are dragging those good Americans along with them.
This is what a country that ignores God looks like.
Very few should get a vote. Rand Paul and Thomas Massie manage to be decent enough.
Better to vote 3rd party or write in even if you just literally write in "f**k this corrupt system." At least then your vote cannot be corruptly stolen and assigned to the preferred uniparty puppet. And locally, find the pushback candidates and try to get them in.
Sitting on your hands is useless. I am not saying vote for the lesser of two evils. I am saying vote your conscience, even if 95% of it is writing in some form of "none of the above." It's better than letting some dictatorial globalist claim a landslide mandate.
No, not RFK Jr. either, for me. Perhaps if Congress was workable, I’d have more faith in what the government should do. They’re all disgusting and unacceptable.
No matter your reasoning, the undeniable fact is that these people....like it or not..... directly effect the lives and fortunes of the American people.
A bad leader with bad policies can be a disaster, as the last three years have demonstrated.
There is no nobility in refusing to participate, it would only effectively be a vote for the same failed policies that are now in place.
Thank you. Surely a start. I, a retired 81 y/o physician, spent almost an hour at a friend/pulmonologist’s office at the end of a busy day in which I was “worked in”. Post assessment, we got on to the issue of the vaccines. He knew little to nothing outside “the narrative”—not even that court action was required to get Pfizer, et al, to begin to release their data short of 75 years. And he is a very bright, well-read (as we are want to say) clinician.
Funny you should mention 'well-read' doctor, as 'well-read' is only as meaningful as the truthfulness of what is being read. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Maybe he should read this instead: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/best-evidence-quick-reference-guide
Thank you for your comment. What a crazy world we live in.

Well, to start, people need to stop succumbing to the trick of being distracted by the two major parties. Note how almost every single Substack article quickly devolves into people arguing about D vs R, red vs blue, Trump v Biden, etc. - when we should instead focus on the fact that it’s all theatre, to keep our minds occupied.
Cathleen - you got that exactly right! Thank you for putting this out there.
Labels. People love to think in terms of labels. That short cuts the thinking process and make it easy to identify the good guys from the bad guys.
Why do we need that? I really don’t know. But as you’ve made clear, it’s all theater meant to distract us what is really going on.
It’s quite entertaining to find so much ferocious sounding wrangling going on between two behemoth political parties. It’s a never ending war that keeps us hypnotized but can never be won.
Exactly right, Sandra. It's like the divide between left and right. If the left wing is represented by Stalin and the right wing , by Hitler, then the whole plane is the same: socialism. Every national election is a fake a political campaign between two equally corrupt candidates. There's no suitable choice at all.
Things were going well under Trump until Covid. We finally had OPEC defanged, the economy was booming, manufacturing was growing, the border situation was improving, and the Russian/China alliance against us didn’t even exist.....much less a Ukrainian war. There had even been positive steps towards Mideast peace with the Abraham Accords.
Then Biden and the Democrats came in and reversed almost everything that Trump had accomplished.
Almost immediately you saw a huge difference, for the worse. Everything started falling apart.
Afghanistan, much more government spending - bringing back inflation for the first time in 40 years, the border is an unmitigated disaster, the Ukrainian war, the war on fossil fuels (which is wrecking our economy), and I can go on and on.
And now Biden, who is one of the most corrupt presidents ever (with creditable evidence of his receiving bribes from foreign companies and possibly foreign governments) has had his leading opponent (and former President) indicted and arrested in order to damage him during a presidential campaign.
Americans are much poorer under Biden and democrat policies than they ever were under President Trump.
Another zealot...sigh...! Yes, Trump did better than I said expect or hope, but not as well as your rosy lenses see, nor can I make you see reality. Have a blessed evening.
The KEY is the PREP act shield. The immoral laws must be removed and our rights restored. We must also leave the WHO ( privately held company ): 51 congress people have stepped to the plate - zero coward senators:
The problem is a structural problem, not amenable to quick fixes. The problem is that our government structure is built on an unattainable ideal - rule by and for the people. This ideal pretends that powerful interests are subordinate to the will of the people and therefore are subject to our approval. That’s an appealing fantasy but not true.
Rule of the people has never been the case at any time throughout the history of humanity, not just in this country. Perhaps for a very brief interlude between the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon there was real rule by the people but it soon fell apart in utter chaos and was supplanted by the rule of a new dictator.
People like to follow powerful leaders. It’s human nature to want to be led and furthermore to believe those leading us are genuinely righteous folks.
The real trick is to get the powerful to feel obligated to look after the best interests of the population that provides the basis of support for their power. Somehow we need to achieve a righteous balance between power and obligations whereby each party has a full role to play that provides their validation within our social order.
...
During feudal times something like that balance was achieved for several centuries. Local secular authorities, royalty and nobility, were ultimately subject to papal approval in order to be authorized to rule their given territories. Should they manage to rule with a modicum of even handed justice peace it was possible to achieve peace and harmony without the resentment of one social class against another. It helped greatly that there were many smaller kingdoms and fiefdoms present during those times while there was only one papal authority that stood over all. The papacy was generally wise enough (exceptions noted) to not meddle in the petty affairs of state as long as tithing was carried out effectively that provided support for the church.
But when the secular authorities had become particularly abusive or neglectful of their duties to the population they were in charge of they could be subject to excommunication and stripped of their titles by the church. The newly untitled often has to find refuge somewhere and that tended to be refuge in isolated monasteries where nobody could get to them. Throwing themselves at the mercy of the church tended to work better than throwing themselves at the mercy of those they had wronged.
This was not a perfect system by any means but it largely worked to maintain relative peace for most people most of the time.
...
So what can we do with the government structures we have now that would bring accountability to those who hold the real reigns of power? I don’t mean elected politicians. I mean the industrial and financial magnates who dictate the policies that our politicians must implement.
I’m not sure. I think we need a complete shift of paradigm now.
The feudal structure worked because all wealth was derived from the production of the land, a limited and easily defined resource.
With the Industrial Revolution and beyond, a new oligarchy has developed whose wealth is derived from production of materials and accumulation of money. The church did not ordain this new wealth. It was created privately. So the church has no authority over these new oligarchs.
In fact nobody has authority over these new oligarchs. We rely upon them to regulate themselves but they have no obligation to do so in a free capitalist marketplace. So they don’t bother to think outside their immediate interests. They pretend that the accumulation of wealth is their only mandate with no obligations that go beyond the accumulation of wealth.
What would I envision as a possible government structure under which the needs of the general population would be met in an industrial based social order? Hmmm. Good question.
I shall ponder this a bit and get back on this string. Any other thoughts along this line would be greatly appreciated.
Let me see if what I'm about to write makes any sense.
As mentioned previously, the problem we face now is a structural political problem, meaning that the problem we face is not going to be fixable with minor patches. We need to completely restructure the political systems that govern society. This is not a small thing to do.
First we need to identify what is wrong with the structure we have now. To do that we need to review how this political structure developed in the first place. My synopsis:
In the post Roman Empire period, subsequent European feudal governments were based on tribal affiliations. Instead of loyalty to some remote imperial authority, loyalty was given to local authority, decentralized governments serving only local needs. This was a more natural form of government to serve actual human needs.
As often would be the case, these local tribal authorities were initially established by force with the strongest clans among them winning the right to rule. Thereafter, ruling authority would become a hereditary right without challenge as long as peace and prosperity were maintained.
The only time that would change is when inept or corrupt royalty neglected their duties to the citizens that they ruled over in which case there would be violent revolts. Most of those revolts would be put down by force of arms but not all. History is replete with stories of heroes among the common folk, Robin Hood stories where a corrupt king was unfairly taxing his peasants and the peasants fought back.
The Roman church was already well established in most of these feudal states as an overarching authority that provided the validation of the noble classes to rule. A great deal of conflict between corrupt noble classes and the wronged peasants was avoided when the church would step in and retract their official authorization of a particular noble person who had violated the understood contract they had entered that provided for the welfare of the population of their citizens.
Excommunication was no small thing and was not used all that often but it was used often enough to keep the greed of noble classes from getting out of control. The church provided the checks and balances that are needed to keep any power structure from wheeling out of control.
This was not a perfect system by any stretch. The church, already a center of power and wealth by itself, became even wealthier with lands gained through excommunication. Corruption was not limited to the secular world alone. I won't bother to detail this any further here.
Corruption of any human institution is always possible no matter how organic the origins nor how well intentioned the structure of the governing systems to provide checks and balances. Why is that?
Because human nature is subject to bouts of greed.
Greed is a core element that we must account for when setting up any institutionalized governing structure. Greed will surface repeatedly throughout all time and at certain points will eventually win out, destroying the fabric of society. Afterwards people need to rebuild the social order with a new structure that attempts to correct the problems of the old.
You can see warnings about power and greed in our religious texts as well as 20/20 hindsight of historical records. Greed is a human constant.
So now..., what do we do about it?
Let me digress one more time.
The attempts at developing new philosophies during the age of the great enlightenment brought to light the idea that the people know what's in their best interests and are best able to rule themselves. Giving power to enlightened, informed, rational, perceptive general population would put an end to the greed that develops among the rich and powerful. Sounds great!
Unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way.
The desire to gain ever more power for it own sake is an addiction that, once started, cannot be denied. Couple that basic human defect with the fact that the general population will never take the time and effort to become fully enlightened and you have what we have now - a system of government that provides the illusion of democracy for the general population but is in fact an plutocracy that serves the need of the already extant powerful interests.
So maybe we cut the dog and pony show and simply give the plutocrats all power to govern outright. How would that work?
I would propose that it would work quite well under certain conditions.
It would require the development of an enlightened elite who understand that their right to rule is contingent upon carrying out their responsibilities to their constituencies. How could that responsibility be ensured?
Let's say that we develop a series of parameters that measure the overall social responsibility index of our plutocratic governing enterprises. In this case we can dispense with national boundaries and use this social responsibility index to measure the level of social responsibility practiced worldwide by the major enterprises that actually rule us - major natural resource companies, major manufacturers, financial companies, and various service providers.
Elements of what constitutes social responsibility can be debated, of course.
To me the core elements of a social responsibility index would include responsible employment practices to ensure that all committed full time workers are adequately compensated so they can easily sustain a decent middle class life. Another element of social responsibility would be minimizing or mitigating environmental impacts of our enterprises. Yet another element would involve equal human rights and equal respect for all, no differentiation of rights between male and female and no differentiation in respect given to male and female - meaning equal pay for equal work, equal opportunities for advancement in careers, and so forth. That would also include no differentiation of rights or respect for people of differing ethnicities.
Once a set of parameters are developed and a means to measure them are established we get to the tricky part - what do we do with this information?
Hmmm.
I would propose that the top 10% of socially responsible ruling enterprises get the assignment of annually evaluating the bottom 10% of socially responsible ruling enterprises with the goal of finding the single enterprise with the worst performing on the SRI (Social Responsibility Index) and then determine the ONE executive in that enterprise who is the biggest driver of that poor SRI performance.
That individual would then be publicly executed, execution date and time advertised ahead of time and then widely broadcast.
Hanging seems to leave the most impact on the audience with the least amount of gore and blood. Other execution methods are either too gory and would provoke public disgust or too tame and would not satisfy the need for justice.
This judicial process would be repeated annually until the lowest SRI of any enterprise anywhere in the world rises above 50% in which case the executive executions would cease.
This system of plutocratic self regulation would be the case of the best of the ruling elite ensuring that their fellow elite power members tow a line of meaningful minimal standards. It would help to ensure the these enterprises are able to compete on level playing field, not relying upon the exploitation of their labor to achieve a profit advantage over others who pay adequate compensation packages. It would also ensure that there never will be citizen revolution / peasant revolt again for the rest of our civilization. Furthermore we would eventually achieve a sustainable state of worldwide peace and prosperity for all.
Is this a realistic scenario? No it is not, not in my lifetime in any case.
I also see nobody who is willing or able to take the the cause of developing a world wide plutocratic ruling counsel under these conditions. The current plutocrats are perfectly happy to hide and be held unaccountable for their activities.
Are annual selective executions humane? Well...,
Our current government structures provide us with endless wars, massive environmental devastation, and destitution for many millions of people. The annual execution of ONE individual would seem a good trade off if, over time, we can finally put an end to the insane terror that we live under now.
Furthermore we would get what is most important to all of us - peace and prosperity.
Those who chose to move into leadership positions at that point will be well aware or their responsibilities that come with their authority to rule as well as the consequences to themselves should they stray from their responsibilities and harken to the call of greed.
The 2003 documentary The Corporation explores some of the issues that I talked about above. I highly recommend that movie to anybody who is willing to think outside the box.
"It considers the corporation’s legal status as a class of person and evaluates its behaviour towards society as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person.
The film argues that a corporation’s sole reason for being is to enhance its powers and profits. The corporation is compared to a sociopath in its behaviour, for example lacking empathy, irresponsible and manipulative. One of the underlying messages is that humanity cannot survive by continuing to consume natural resources. Overall the film concludes that the corporate system is flawed."
What do you think would happen if no one voted? It would mean the people would have control. And the powers in charge would realize that the people aren’t playing anymore.

The American Revolution would not have happened without anonymous people staying anonymous. That republic you claim to care about came to be because people could speak and plan in private without the watchful eyes of the crown and thus mount a defense and counterattack against its machinations.
This is not private. This is life and death in public. If you cannot stand in your own name then maybe your voice is not yours. Controlled opposition or agent provocateur. I have skin in the game. Who the phuque are you! Another anon. You cannot divulge who you are because of repercussions. The Nurse, who took the jab. She needed the job. Eventually you either stand and deliver or you cower and slave. I have 2 direct bloodline ancestors a father and son that fought for New York in our Revolution. The signers were not anon. Neither am I.
If you bothered to look you would find that everything in the first six out of seven sentences you wrote in your little diatribe is wrong.
That being said, anonymity is crucial when fighting against powers as great as government. This is just as self-evident now as it was when those people fought and died to build the republic you croon about. If you cannot be bothered to recognize this and appreciate the sacrifices made by anons to build the pillars of justice that protect and sustain you, then you, perhaps, deserve your fate.
You live a life of luxuries and condemn the anons who made it possible.
"While we often complain about Democrats having lost their minds, we ignore the conspicuous fact that many (though not all) Republicans do little to oppose their madness and often seem to play along with it."
Way too nice. These Republicans are not just "enablers". Many of these Republicans are working on the same team as the Democrats.
Very true. Trump gave Fauci a presidential commendation and still pretends that his vaccine saved hundreds of millions. And Republicans are about to vote him in.
Don’t forget Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s initiative to get the new experimental Covid products on the market and readily accessible to millions of people in “warp speed” time. These products were hyper marketed to us by every level of government including the executive branch.
I will vote for Trump if he is the GOP nominee, without apology, as a clear "lesser of two evils." I have nothing to say to the many "not a dime's worth of difference" folks on this thread other than, you. are. seriously. deluded.
However, to my fellow populist conservatives, constitutional conservatives, long-time conservatives, etc., it is nonetheless the case that we have a serious problem on our hands, and it isn't rooted in Trump on one hand, nor in the anti-Trump RINOs on the other, but is operating ACROSS THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THE PROFESSIONAL CONSERVATIVE CLASS. Yes, my all-caps are quite justified--see my important "Adjunct Suppressors" piece https://pomocon.substack.com/p/adjunct-suppressors?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2, and start hounding any marginally-conservative reps of your own districts on this. This BS pattern of conservative figures whining about censorship but not themselves speaking about the very issue the Suppressors of our media and Regime most want suppressed has got to stop.
Appreciate you John! But yes this is the way it’s been done for many years in my opinion. Most Republicans are either bought and paid for, or are blackmailed by the same people that run the Dems. It is actually a brilliant strategy to placate the populace that is rooting for one side or the other, but in actuality the “crazy train” keeps going down the same track. Although it may speed up or slow down as needed, but the destination is the same.
While Democrats appear to contribute to many of society's problems, Republicans often seem content with merely pointing them out without taking substantial action. However, it now seems that they may be exacerbating these issues themselves. For instance, take Republican Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, who claims to be "owning the libs" by sending migrants who illegally crossed the border to Democratic strongholds like New York City.
Shouldn't Abbott be more focused on preventing these migrants from entering the country in the first place? Doesn't he realize that there are Republican supporters living in New York and other liberal-dominated areas who might not find it amusing to have these migrants sent there?
It appears that some Republicans are going along with the decline of America, and some of their supporters are inadvertently encouraging it due to the divisive nature of identity politics. They mistakenly believe that this is somehow harming individuals with opposing political views when, in reality, it's detrimental to the entire country and everyone within it.
“It appears that some Republicans are going along with the decline of America, and some of their supporters are inadvertently encouraging it due to the divisive nature of identity politics.

Spot on!!
Political fighting is for our entertainment, not for our benefit. Perhaps we need a new word to describe this, something like politicatainment, akin to the news which is nothing more than infotainment these days.
We the people, need to stop referring to them as "democrats" and 'republicans" and just describe them as "corrupt and ignorant politicians". Out of the roughly 600 members of congress, less than 1% have a clue about the constitution and an actual care for the population. Year after year they just keep cranking out MORE garbage legislation.
I like your analogy with the train. I came to the realization a few years ago that both sides aren't really sides at all, they're just pretending to be on different sides. They are ONE. Some call it the 'uniparty'.
The attacks on those trying to right the good ship America are increasing. Unless there is a penalty for their malicious legal attacks the good ship America will sink sooner rather than later.
The feminization of western culture snaps me. We *feel* instead of *think*. It’s in our everyday vernacular, even from the mouths of men: “I feel like that’s wrong/right/ etc...”. It’s great because no one can argue with someone’s subjective emotions. This woman at your dinner demonstrates the absurdity of the heart and the Devouring Mother as described by JBP (That movie poster SO perfectly demonstrates the ever maternal times we live in).
When will we get back to thinking and making decisions based on reason, facts and objective truth?
That’s one reason why, growing up, and as a young adult, I always hung out with men. Quite often, I had nothing in common with women. And I’m very feminine. I agree with you 100%!
I’ve thought a lot about what is our descriptive terminology in the evident battle ongoing. It seems to me we no longer are in a political battle, but worse, an existential battle of good versus evil. Our words need to change.
Your coining of the French Revolution is quite appropriate. We appear to be headed to a time devoid of reason and restraint, but not on a French national level, but a world wide stage (assuming we aren’t there already and it is unequally dispersed).
The way the uUS government is portrayed to be run with two parties primarily vying for control is always subject to being scrutinized as a Hegelian dialectic where the thesis and antithesis rubbing against each other will result in the desired outcome (synthesis). In this case, both sides are enablers.
In my own recent (off-line) conversations, I've noticed, attitudes towards AG Paxton, for those who have him on their radar, appear to align with having willingly taken, or not, the performative virtue mystery cooties juice. Pro or con, not many seem interested in calmly looking at and considering the nature and details of AG Paxton's troubles, but rather what they have already been inclined to decide, based on the feeelz. (That was not a typo.)
PS On my substack I just posted a transcript with my notes of Dr. McCullough's recent European Parliament speech (with a link to the source video, of course). It comes with my profoundest thanks to Dr. McCullough for this, and for all that he has done these past 3 years. It might seem I've taken a liberty to do it (usually I would only transcribe a brief excerpt of such a long piece), but as these things are getting transcribed by AI now (it's automatic on YT), and the AI transcriptions are generally crap, I felt it was important to do one to share with those who don't do video. May it be of some help in spreading the word.
I heard Paxton say of the 9 State criminal court of appeals lawyers, 8 of them stopped him from investigating voter fraud. They said it violated the constitution. Ta dah! Brilliant stupidity.
"The suppression of unbearable fact transforms the conservative tendency to preserve into the authoritarian tendency to crush; transforms the liberal wish to transform into the decadent desire to subvert. Confusing evil with the unbearable fact, rather than with the tendency to deny the fact, is like equating the good with the static product of heroism, rather than with the dynamic act of heroism itself. Confusion of evil with the fact--the act of blaming the messenger---merely provides rationale for the act of denial, justification for savage repression, and mask of morality for decadence and authoritarianism.
...Repression of fact--of truth---ensures deterioration of personality, assures transformation of subjective experience into endless meaningless sterility and misery. Acceptance--by contrast--in the spirit of ignorant humility, courage disguised---provides the necessary precondition for change."

We live under a sarcophagus of repression, in the belly of the robotic whale, when the only thing that should be on anyone's lips is the ravages of the last three years, and the continuing insane machinations, but instead there is utter silence and Kabuki theater and trivial distraction. Thank goodness for all of those standing and speaking, no doubt weary and utterly weighed down ("too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart"), losing battles but standing and refusing to be silent. You all may indeed save us. As Creon Levit said to Bret Weinstein, this is "holy work" So deep gratitude to you and to Dr. McCullough and to the thousands of others still standing and refusing.
"We live under a sarcophagus of repression, in the belly of the robotic whale, when the only thing that should be on anyone's lips is the ravages of the last three years, and the continuing insane machinations, but instead there is utter silence and Kabuki theater and trivial distraction."
Exactly right!
The powers of our times take their cues from our history that we allow evil to go unpunished.
To wit:
Slavery was clearly evil and yet it was allowed to flourish in half the country for the first 80+ years of our nationhood. The issue of slavery resulted in a ghastly civil war that decimated our country.
What did we do when the war was over? We decided to let bygones be bygones so we could "heal our nation". And the result of that collective decision of across the board forgiveness? Rampant racism and grossly overt inequitable treatment of many of our citizens was allowed and even encouraged in most parts of our country in order to keep the old power structures in place. Healing our country? It was more like ignoring reality and hoping that somehow the problem would resolve of its own accord.
In more recent times, the war with Iraq that was initiated because of the presence of weapons of mass destruction that the Iraqi government possessed and would use on our allies in the region. When we invaded Iraq and then didn't find any weapons of mass destruction was anybody held to account for the deliberate misinformation that brought us into the war? NO! Total silence from all parties.
And we just kept marching forward as if there was nothing we could do about it.
When we had the massive economic collapse of 2008 - 2009 because of outlandishly irresponsible absurd bank lending practices that had been outlawed since the middle of the Great Depression, who was thrown in jail for the rest of their lives? For that matter did anybody get indicted for their part in creating that massive fiasco? NO! Total silence from all parties.
And we just kept marching forward as if there was nothing we could do about it.
We've become mesmerized by power, emasculated and helpless, passive observers in our own lives. Is it any wonder that those with power who want to remain in power choose to abuse us and expect to get away with it?
Just had this thought that I’ll share in comments on all the SUBSTACKS I subscribe to…
Howzabout a daytime rally of the jab-injured in baseball/football stadiums across the nation. There are enough ambulatory jab-injured in the various cities to fill the stadiums, and they need visibility and a voice. A millionaire or 2 (perhaps jab-injured themselves) would be needed for the rentals, or perhaps a crowd-sourcing campaign.
There are no parties, there never have been. There is a vulture with two wings (left & right) standing on and picking at the carcass of the constitution and the people under it. Politics are mind control, and the sooner people wake up to this fact the sooner we can kick these loathsome parasites to the curb and start salvaging a future worth living in:

This ‘us-vs-them’ separation makes us easy to control and direct with simple angry thoughts about “the enemy” who isn’t really our enemy – while blinding us to the actual enemy behind the curtain pulling the puppet strings. If we could collectively recognize this for what it is the NWO wouldn’t stand a chance.
Most people will not act to secure their future, so long as they feel they have an advocate fighting for them in the public or political arenas.

Reason and logic then jump out the nearest window as raw emotion takes the helm, thus making them even more susceptible to the predatory controlling influences.
Nice visualization with the "vulture". The constitution appears to have been completely forgotten.
The Left has been shredding our Constitution, one little piece at a time, for well more than a century now. There really isn't much of it left.
And it’s gotten much, much worse since Biden and the Democrats took over.
You miss the point...there is no "Left" or "Right." All governments, everywhere and everywhen, are biased toward tyranny.
Not at all forgotten--indeed, they seem quite adept at evading it. 🥴
They are evading it BY DESIGN:

It's not just the government / politicians that have forgotten the Constitution, but the common person too. Our population has not studied the Constitution in school, thus producing generations and generations of uneducated people who have no idea what the role of government was intended to be.
I do not think this was an accident.
Nor do I think turning our elections into mind-bogglingly expensive “entertainment” thereby ensuring any candidate who chooses to run will be beholden to whomever buys that candidate his/her seat.
This will be the first time in 60 years that I will not vote. I’m not an enabler. The entire government can kiss my ass.
It's those who recognize as you do who's crazy and who's not, who should be voting the most.
Don't. Vote Trump national, even though he has utterly abdicated his duty to recant on Warp Speed, vote GOP for national legislative, and strategically local.
With due respect, I can’t do that. In my opinion, and what I know, the parties are the same. They do not have our best interest at heart.
Don't write off the locals or the libertarians. I totally get not voting PsychoDem or GloboRINO. But I do say a vote of displeasure with the whole rotten apparstus is at least worth something, however meager it may be.
After the stolen election, which is our birthright, no candidate should be getting a “vote”. Americans are losing their freedoms at an alarming rate. Look at J6…despicable. The bioweapon fiasco…despicable. Ukraine…despicable. I’m ashamed to be an American today. And if you’re not angry, and it’s business as usual, you may in denial or cannot accept that the USSA is on life support. Americans have become apathetic, stupid, lazy, and are dragging those good Americans along with them.
This is what a country that ignores God looks like.
Very few should get a vote. Rand Paul and Thomas Massie manage to be decent enough.
Better to vote 3rd party or write in even if you just literally write in "f**k this corrupt system." At least then your vote cannot be corruptly stolen and assigned to the preferred uniparty puppet. And locally, find the pushback candidates and try to get them in.
Sitting on your hands is useless. I am not saying vote for the lesser of two evils. I am saying vote your conscience, even if 95% of it is writing in some form of "none of the above." It's better than letting some dictatorial globalist claim a landslide mandate.
I believe that the last three years have proven otherwise.
There is no reasonable way to prove that the American people are better off with Biden instead of Trump.
In fact, it’s just the opposite.
Most of us were MUCH better off under Trump.....
Write-in RFK, Jr. if he's not on the ballot.
No, not RFK Jr. either, for me. Perhaps if Congress was workable, I’d have more faith in what the government should do. They’re all disgusting and unacceptable.
No matter your reasoning, the undeniable fact is that these people....like it or not..... directly effect the lives and fortunes of the American people.
A bad leader with bad policies can be a disaster, as the last three years have demonstrated.
There is no nobility in refusing to participate, it would only effectively be a vote for the same failed policies that are now in place.
Which means that you are voting FOR Biden and the Democrats.
Period.
Agree. But where is the comment on what to do?

Thank you. Surely a start. I, a retired 81 y/o physician, spent almost an hour at a friend/pulmonologist’s office at the end of a busy day in which I was “worked in”. Post assessment, we got on to the issue of the vaccines. He knew little to nothing outside “the narrative”—not even that court action was required to get Pfizer, et al, to begin to release their data short of 75 years. And he is a very bright, well-read (as we are want to say) clinician.
Funny you should mention 'well-read' doctor, as 'well-read' is only as meaningful as the truthfulness of what is being read. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Maybe he should read this instead: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/best-evidence-quick-reference-guide

Well, to start, people need to stop succumbing to the trick of being distracted by the two major parties. Note how almost every single Substack article quickly devolves into people arguing about D vs R, red vs blue, Trump v Biden, etc. - when we should instead focus on the fact that it’s all theatre, to keep our minds occupied.
It is ALL theater. The actors hide behind:

Cathleen - you got that exactly right! Thank you for putting this out there.
Labels. People love to think in terms of labels. That short cuts the thinking process and make it easy to identify the good guys from the bad guys.
Why do we need that? I really don’t know. But as you’ve made clear, it’s all theater meant to distract us what is really going on.
It’s quite entertaining to find so much ferocious sounding wrangling going on between two behemoth political parties. It’s a never ending war that keeps us hypnotized but can never be won.
Except it's NOT 2 parties; it's 1 party with 2 heads pretending to be at odds with each other!
Exactly right, Sandra. It's like the divide between left and right. If the left wing is represented by Stalin and the right wing , by Hitler, then the whole plane is the same: socialism. Every national election is a fake a political campaign between two equally corrupt candidates. There's no suitable choice at all.
You'd be stunned by how few actually get that fact!
You really don’t see the difference?
Things were going well under Trump until Covid. We finally had OPEC defanged, the economy was booming, manufacturing was growing, the border situation was improving, and the Russian/China alliance against us didn’t even exist.....much less a Ukrainian war. There had even been positive steps towards Mideast peace with the Abraham Accords.
Then Biden and the Democrats came in and reversed almost everything that Trump had accomplished.
Almost immediately you saw a huge difference, for the worse. Everything started falling apart.
Afghanistan, much more government spending - bringing back inflation for the first time in 40 years, the border is an unmitigated disaster, the Ukrainian war, the war on fossil fuels (which is wrecking our economy), and I can go on and on.
And now Biden, who is one of the most corrupt presidents ever (with creditable evidence of his receiving bribes from foreign companies and possibly foreign governments) has had his leading opponent (and former President) indicted and arrested in order to damage him during a presidential campaign.
Americans are much poorer under Biden and democrat policies than they ever were under President Trump.
You really don’t see the difference???
Another zealot...sigh...! Yes, Trump did better than I said expect or hope, but not as well as your rosy lenses see, nor can I make you see reality. Have a blessed evening.
Mark, you obviously can't see the difference. You're arguing that one turd is a nicer shade of brown than the other.

Peace.
EXACTLY!💥
Let me take a stab at what to do about it.
The problem is a structural problem, not amenable to quick fixes. The problem is that our government structure is built on an unattainable ideal - rule by and for the people. This ideal pretends that powerful interests are subordinate to the will of the people and therefore are subject to our approval. That’s an appealing fantasy but not true.
Rule of the people has never been the case at any time throughout the history of humanity, not just in this country. Perhaps for a very brief interlude between the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon there was real rule by the people but it soon fell apart in utter chaos and was supplanted by the rule of a new dictator.
People like to follow powerful leaders. It’s human nature to want to be led and furthermore to believe those leading us are genuinely righteous folks.
The real trick is to get the powerful to feel obligated to look after the best interests of the population that provides the basis of support for their power. Somehow we need to achieve a righteous balance between power and obligations whereby each party has a full role to play that provides their validation within our social order.
...
During feudal times something like that balance was achieved for several centuries. Local secular authorities, royalty and nobility, were ultimately subject to papal approval in order to be authorized to rule their given territories. Should they manage to rule with a modicum of even handed justice peace it was possible to achieve peace and harmony without the resentment of one social class against another. It helped greatly that there were many smaller kingdoms and fiefdoms present during those times while there was only one papal authority that stood over all. The papacy was generally wise enough (exceptions noted) to not meddle in the petty affairs of state as long as tithing was carried out effectively that provided support for the church.
But when the secular authorities had become particularly abusive or neglectful of their duties to the population they were in charge of they could be subject to excommunication and stripped of their titles by the church. The newly untitled often has to find refuge somewhere and that tended to be refuge in isolated monasteries where nobody could get to them. Throwing themselves at the mercy of the church tended to work better than throwing themselves at the mercy of those they had wronged.
This was not a perfect system by any means but it largely worked to maintain relative peace for most people most of the time.
...
So what can we do with the government structures we have now that would bring accountability to those who hold the real reigns of power? I don’t mean elected politicians. I mean the industrial and financial magnates who dictate the policies that our politicians must implement.
I’m not sure. I think we need a complete shift of paradigm now.
The feudal structure worked because all wealth was derived from the production of the land, a limited and easily defined resource.
With the Industrial Revolution and beyond, a new oligarchy has developed whose wealth is derived from production of materials and accumulation of money. The church did not ordain this new wealth. It was created privately. So the church has no authority over these new oligarchs.
In fact nobody has authority over these new oligarchs. We rely upon them to regulate themselves but they have no obligation to do so in a free capitalist marketplace. So they don’t bother to think outside their immediate interests. They pretend that the accumulation of wealth is their only mandate with no obligations that go beyond the accumulation of wealth.
What would I envision as a possible government structure under which the needs of the general population would be met in an industrial based social order? Hmmm. Good question.
I shall ponder this a bit and get back on this string. Any other thoughts along this line would be greatly appreciated.
Let me see if what I'm about to write makes any sense.
As mentioned previously, the problem we face now is a structural political problem, meaning that the problem we face is not going to be fixable with minor patches. We need to completely restructure the political systems that govern society. This is not a small thing to do.
First we need to identify what is wrong with the structure we have now. To do that we need to review how this political structure developed in the first place. My synopsis:
In the post Roman Empire period, subsequent European feudal governments were based on tribal affiliations. Instead of loyalty to some remote imperial authority, loyalty was given to local authority, decentralized governments serving only local needs. This was a more natural form of government to serve actual human needs.
As often would be the case, these local tribal authorities were initially established by force with the strongest clans among them winning the right to rule. Thereafter, ruling authority would become a hereditary right without challenge as long as peace and prosperity were maintained.
The only time that would change is when inept or corrupt royalty neglected their duties to the citizens that they ruled over in which case there would be violent revolts. Most of those revolts would be put down by force of arms but not all. History is replete with stories of heroes among the common folk, Robin Hood stories where a corrupt king was unfairly taxing his peasants and the peasants fought back.
https://www.britannica.com/event/Peasants-Revolt
Also the Magna Carta did not happen in a void:
https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/originsofparliament/birthofparliament/overview/magnacarta/
...
The Roman church was already well established in most of these feudal states as an overarching authority that provided the validation of the noble classes to rule. A great deal of conflict between corrupt noble classes and the wronged peasants was avoided when the church would step in and retract their official authorization of a particular noble person who had violated the understood contract they had entered that provided for the welfare of the population of their citizens.
Excommunication was no small thing and was not used all that often but it was used often enough to keep the greed of noble classes from getting out of control. The church provided the checks and balances that are needed to keep any power structure from wheeling out of control.
This was not a perfect system by any stretch. The church, already a center of power and wealth by itself, became even wealthier with lands gained through excommunication. Corruption was not limited to the secular world alone. I won't bother to detail this any further here.
Corruption of any human institution is always possible no matter how organic the origins nor how well intentioned the structure of the governing systems to provide checks and balances. Why is that?
Because human nature is subject to bouts of greed.
Greed is a core element that we must account for when setting up any institutionalized governing structure. Greed will surface repeatedly throughout all time and at certain points will eventually win out, destroying the fabric of society. Afterwards people need to rebuild the social order with a new structure that attempts to correct the problems of the old.
You can see warnings about power and greed in our religious texts as well as 20/20 hindsight of historical records. Greed is a human constant.
So now..., what do we do about it?
Let me digress one more time.
The attempts at developing new philosophies during the age of the great enlightenment brought to light the idea that the people know what's in their best interests and are best able to rule themselves. Giving power to enlightened, informed, rational, perceptive general population would put an end to the greed that develops among the rich and powerful. Sounds great!
Unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way.
The desire to gain ever more power for it own sake is an addiction that, once started, cannot be denied. Couple that basic human defect with the fact that the general population will never take the time and effort to become fully enlightened and you have what we have now - a system of government that provides the illusion of democracy for the general population but is in fact an plutocracy that serves the need of the already extant powerful interests.
So maybe we cut the dog and pony show and simply give the plutocrats all power to govern outright. How would that work?
I would propose that it would work quite well under certain conditions.
It would require the development of an enlightened elite who understand that their right to rule is contingent upon carrying out their responsibilities to their constituencies. How could that responsibility be ensured?
Let's say that we develop a series of parameters that measure the overall social responsibility index of our plutocratic governing enterprises. In this case we can dispense with national boundaries and use this social responsibility index to measure the level of social responsibility practiced worldwide by the major enterprises that actually rule us - major natural resource companies, major manufacturers, financial companies, and various service providers.
Elements of what constitutes social responsibility can be debated, of course.
To me the core elements of a social responsibility index would include responsible employment practices to ensure that all committed full time workers are adequately compensated so they can easily sustain a decent middle class life. Another element of social responsibility would be minimizing or mitigating environmental impacts of our enterprises. Yet another element would involve equal human rights and equal respect for all, no differentiation of rights between male and female and no differentiation in respect given to male and female - meaning equal pay for equal work, equal opportunities for advancement in careers, and so forth. That would also include no differentiation of rights or respect for people of differing ethnicities.
Once a set of parameters are developed and a means to measure them are established we get to the tricky part - what do we do with this information?
Hmmm.
I would propose that the top 10% of socially responsible ruling enterprises get the assignment of annually evaluating the bottom 10% of socially responsible ruling enterprises with the goal of finding the single enterprise with the worst performing on the SRI (Social Responsibility Index) and then determine the ONE executive in that enterprise who is the biggest driver of that poor SRI performance.
That individual would then be publicly executed, execution date and time advertised ahead of time and then widely broadcast.
Hanging seems to leave the most impact on the audience with the least amount of gore and blood. Other execution methods are either too gory and would provoke public disgust or too tame and would not satisfy the need for justice.
This judicial process would be repeated annually until the lowest SRI of any enterprise anywhere in the world rises above 50% in which case the executive executions would cease.
This system of plutocratic self regulation would be the case of the best of the ruling elite ensuring that their fellow elite power members tow a line of meaningful minimal standards. It would help to ensure the these enterprises are able to compete on level playing field, not relying upon the exploitation of their labor to achieve a profit advantage over others who pay adequate compensation packages. It would also ensure that there never will be citizen revolution / peasant revolt again for the rest of our civilization. Furthermore we would eventually achieve a sustainable state of worldwide peace and prosperity for all.
Is this a realistic scenario? No it is not, not in my lifetime in any case.
I also see nobody who is willing or able to take the the cause of developing a world wide plutocratic ruling counsel under these conditions. The current plutocrats are perfectly happy to hide and be held unaccountable for their activities.
Are annual selective executions humane? Well...,
Our current government structures provide us with endless wars, massive environmental devastation, and destitution for many millions of people. The annual execution of ONE individual would seem a good trade off if, over time, we can finally put an end to the insane terror that we live under now.
Furthermore we would get what is most important to all of us - peace and prosperity.
Those who chose to move into leadership positions at that point will be well aware or their responsibilities that come with their authority to rule as well as the consequences to themselves should they stray from their responsibilities and harken to the call of greed.
It's not perfect. It's a thought.
The 2003 documentary The Corporation explores some of the issues that I talked about above. I highly recommend that movie to anybody who is willing to think outside the box.
https://blueandgreentomorrow.com/features/film-review-the-corporation/#:~:text=The%20corporation%20is%20compared%20to,the%20corporate%20system%20is%20flawed.
"It considers the corporation’s legal status as a class of person and evaluates its behaviour towards society as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person.
The film argues that a corporation’s sole reason for being is to enhance its powers and profits. The corporation is compared to a sociopath in its behaviour, for example lacking empathy, irresponsible and manipulative. One of the underlying messages is that humanity cannot survive by continuing to consume natural resources. Overall the film concludes that the corporate system is flawed."
You won’t find one. I have repeatedly asked people who say they won’t vote (and discourage others from voting) what their solution is.
All I get is crickets....
What do you think would happen if no one voted? It would mean the people would have control. And the powers in charge would realize that the people aren’t playing anymore.

Very true. Trump gave Fauci a presidential commendation and still pretends that his vaccine saved hundreds of millions. And Republicans are about to vote him in.
Don’t forget Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s initiative to get the new experimental Covid products on the market and readily accessible to millions of people in “warp speed” time. These products were hyper marketed to us by every level of government including the executive branch.
Yes, that’s what I was referencing. And yet, he is the front runner in the party that is supposedly fighting the tyranny. Ironic?
I will vote for Trump if he is the GOP nominee, without apology, as a clear "lesser of two evils." I have nothing to say to the many "not a dime's worth of difference" folks on this thread other than, you. are. seriously. deluded.
However, to my fellow populist conservatives, constitutional conservatives, long-time conservatives, etc., it is nonetheless the case that we have a serious problem on our hands, and it isn't rooted in Trump on one hand, nor in the anti-Trump RINOs on the other, but is operating ACROSS THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THE PROFESSIONAL CONSERVATIVE CLASS. Yes, my all-caps are quite justified--see my important "Adjunct Suppressors" piece https://pomocon.substack.com/p/adjunct-suppressors?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2, and start hounding any marginally-conservative reps of your own districts on this. This BS pattern of conservative figures whining about censorship but not themselves speaking about the very issue the Suppressors of our media and Regime most want suppressed has got to stop.
Appreciate you John! But yes this is the way it’s been done for many years in my opinion. Most Republicans are either bought and paid for, or are blackmailed by the same people that run the Dems. It is actually a brilliant strategy to placate the populace that is rooting for one side or the other, but in actuality the “crazy train” keeps going down the same track. Although it may speed up or slow down as needed, but the destination is the same.
John, what did the lady say in response?
While Democrats appear to contribute to many of society's problems, Republicans often seem content with merely pointing them out without taking substantial action. However, it now seems that they may be exacerbating these issues themselves. For instance, take Republican Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, who claims to be "owning the libs" by sending migrants who illegally crossed the border to Democratic strongholds like New York City.
Shouldn't Abbott be more focused on preventing these migrants from entering the country in the first place? Doesn't he realize that there are Republican supporters living in New York and other liberal-dominated areas who might not find it amusing to have these migrants sent there?
It appears that some Republicans are going along with the decline of America, and some of their supporters are inadvertently encouraging it due to the divisive nature of identity politics. They mistakenly believe that this is somehow harming individuals with opposing political views when, in reality, it's detrimental to the entire country and everyone within it.
All cowards. Including Trump. ( I voted for him twice ):

The feminization of western culture snaps me. We *feel* instead of *think*. It’s in our everyday vernacular, even from the mouths of men: “I feel like that’s wrong/right/ etc...”. It’s great because no one can argue with someone’s subjective emotions. This woman at your dinner demonstrates the absurdity of the heart and the Devouring Mother as described by JBP (That movie poster SO perfectly demonstrates the ever maternal times we live in).
When will we get back to thinking and making decisions based on reason, facts and objective truth?
That’s one reason why, growing up, and as a young adult, I always hung out with men. Quite often, I had nothing in common with women. And I’m very feminine. I agree with you 100%!
I’ve thought a lot about what is our descriptive terminology in the evident battle ongoing. It seems to me we no longer are in a political battle, but worse, an existential battle of good versus evil. Our words need to change.
I suggested on another string that we refer to our ongoing political drama as “politicaltainment”. Like infotainment is to news reporting.
It is. A bit like how “sports” morphed into “entertainment”.
I sense WhitneyWebb’s new book, Descent into Blackmail, accurately lays out the internecine evil ongoing. L.
BINGO! I do not recognize any political party any longer...only GOOD vs. EVIL.
Your coining of the French Revolution is quite appropriate. We appear to be headed to a time devoid of reason and restraint, but not on a French national level, but a world wide stage (assuming we aren’t there already and it is unequally dispersed).
The way the uUS government is portrayed to be run with two parties primarily vying for control is always subject to being scrutinized as a Hegelian dialectic where the thesis and antithesis rubbing against each other will result in the desired outcome (synthesis). In this case, both sides are enablers.
In my own recent (off-line) conversations, I've noticed, attitudes towards AG Paxton, for those who have him on their radar, appear to align with having willingly taken, or not, the performative virtue mystery cooties juice. Pro or con, not many seem interested in calmly looking at and considering the nature and details of AG Paxton's troubles, but rather what they have already been inclined to decide, based on the feeelz. (That was not a typo.)
PS On my substack I just posted a transcript with my notes of Dr. McCullough's recent European Parliament speech (with a link to the source video, of course). It comes with my profoundest thanks to Dr. McCullough for this, and for all that he has done these past 3 years. It might seem I've taken a liberty to do it (usually I would only transcribe a brief excerpt of such a long piece), but as these things are getting transcribed by AI now (it's automatic on YT), and the AI transcriptions are generally crap, I felt it was important to do one to share with those who don't do video. May it be of some help in spreading the word.
I loved reading McCullough's speech! Thanks for that. I'd only seen snippets before. It was very good. He doesn't mind saying stuff.
So glad!
I heard Paxton say of the 9 State criminal court of appeals lawyers, 8 of them stopped him from investigating voter fraud. They said it violated the constitution. Ta dah! Brilliant stupidity.
All 9 judges are REPUBLICANS.

Confusing evil with the unbearable fact, rather than with the tendency to deny the fact, is like equating the good with the static product of heroism, rather than with the dynamic act of heroism itself. Confusion of evil with the fact--the act of blaming the messenger---merely provides rationale for the act of denial, justification for savage repression, and mask of morality for decadence and authoritarianism.
...Repression of fact--of truth---ensures deterioration of personality, assures transformation of subjective experience into endless meaningless sterility and misery. Acceptance--by contrast--in the spirit of ignorant humility, courage disguised---provides the necessary precondition for change."

We live under a sarcophagus of repression, in the belly of the robotic whale, when the only thing that should be on anyone's lips is the ravages of the last three years, and the continuing insane machinations, but instead there is utter silence and Kabuki theater and trivial distraction. Thank goodness for all of those standing and speaking, no doubt weary and utterly weighed down ("too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart"), losing battles but standing and refusing to be silent. You all may indeed save us. As Creon Levit said to Bret Weinstein, this is "holy work" So deep gratitude to you and to Dr. McCullough and to the thousands of others still standing and refusing.
Cynthia,

Exactly right!
The powers of our times take their cues from our history that we allow evil to go unpunished.
To wit:
Slavery was clearly evil and yet it was allowed to flourish in half the country for the first 80+ years of our nationhood. The issue of slavery resulted in a ghastly civil war that decimated our country.
What did we do when the war was over? We decided to let bygones be bygones so we could "heal our nation". And the result of that collective decision of across the board forgiveness? Rampant racism and grossly overt inequitable treatment of many of our citizens was allowed and even encouraged in most parts of our country in order to keep the old power structures in place. Healing our country? It was more like ignoring reality and hoping that somehow the problem would resolve of its own accord.
In more recent times, the war with Iraq that was initiated because of the presence of weapons of mass destruction that the Iraqi government possessed and would use on our allies in the region. When we invaded Iraq and then didn't find any weapons of mass destruction was anybody held to account for the deliberate misinformation that brought us into the war? NO! Total silence from all parties.
And we just kept marching forward as if there was nothing we could do about it.
When we had the massive economic collapse of 2008 - 2009 because of outlandishly irresponsible absurd bank lending practices that had been outlawed since the middle of the Great Depression, who was thrown in jail for the rest of their lives? For that matter did anybody get indicted for their part in creating that massive fiasco? NO! Total silence from all parties.
And we just kept marching forward as if there was nothing we could do about it.
We've become mesmerized by power, emasculated and helpless, passive observers in our own lives. Is it any wonder that those with power who want to remain in power choose to abuse us and expect to get away with it?
Just had this thought that I’ll share in comments on all the SUBSTACKS I subscribe to…
Howzabout a daytime rally of the jab-injured in baseball/football stadiums across the nation. There are enough ambulatory jab-injured in the various cities to fill the stadiums, and they need visibility and a voice. A millionaire or 2 (perhaps jab-injured themselves) would be needed for the rentals, or perhaps a crowd-sourcing campaign.
It’s been done in Europe!
A better idea would be for all of those folks to congregate on the square of their county seat
The first Saturday of every month
After that gets some traction the third Saturday you meet at the state capital
If there’s enough interest, you move it to a weekday
Nothing planned just show up and mill around
the city, and gum up traffic.
There should be no plans and very little or no correspondence.
I it’s a People want to do more than complain it’ll grow, and even those wretched pure bloods will most likely join in
