It's funny. The left was trying to tell us this for many years. Now that those of us on the right see the corruption, the left has done a complete flip. Can't win.

Kabuki theater. The conflict has never been left vs right.

When ever there seems a need to take sides, in any conflict, if you take side with Life, you will see that corruption likes to hide behind great purpose.

A good example of how things can get skewed in meaning is: Liberal vs Conservative. What is the original definition of "Liberal?" Isn't it the same sense of perception that is currently claimed by Conservatism? Linguistic definition can become whatever the most ambitious people want it to be.

Not sure the food supply can be centrally controlled. Some might try but likely fail if history is a guide. Energy may come under central control given the centralized production aspect; future small reactors may allow distributed production but we are a ways to get there. Money is centralized, but fiat money eventually collapses and we return to barter.

Every socialist society has failed, right?

Centrally controlled food? Food was centrally controlled for most of history...Used in conjuction with overtaxation among the 'Landed Gentry' or Black Nobility who owned everything. Those owning all the land can and have taken everything to leave the people starving, diseased; deliberately poverty stricken and ignorant...That's what happens when 'You will own nothing and you will be happy."

Ever heard of HAARP? They claim it really works and there are locations in Alaska, Wales and probably in Russia and China, too. Control the weather with rain, flooding, storms, desert and too much cloud cover with Volcano's or implement Earthquakes to murder people leaving nobody to produce food in a given region...Or, war with unnatural fires as popping-up these last 10 years in the right places like Ukraine or CA; that's all necessary to control food production.

Am not speaking out of fear, here. Just plain information...

You have the right to contract with whomever you wish. God gives us our rights - not Man - not government. We all have freewill to walkaway... and the best option is often to walkaway. Stand for something or fall for anything. Once you've been red-pilled you're in the fight - or you die. Make no mistake we are at war with Satan - the fatalities of this war will be those who refuse to see the evil behind their governments, their big corporations, their military, their banks, their mainsleeze media, and their pharmaceutical companies. The time has come for each and every one of us to fight. Our very souls depend on it. This is about the death of "Authority" - and not about how to be hosts for the parasites.

Yeah, just a few years ago, I was verbally defending the US actions abroad because I had been taught that the US defends freedom and democracy around the world. I’m so ashamed at what our military has done to countries, and individuals.

Between the money that is shoveled by government into the military industrial complex and also into the medical industrial complex, it’s no surprise that the rich are getting richer and the average citizen can’t even afford groceries anymore, let alone a house. And that’s nothing compared to the loss of life and carnage throughout the world.

"A large swath of the American people never cease believing this narrative, no matter how many times the pretenses are revealed to be false and the purported objectives are never achieved." Reading "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve," by G. Edward Griffin should be required reading for all these people who "never cease believing ..." It confirms, affirms and provides vast documentation for Jeffrey Sachs' conclusions.

A big part of the problem since World War 2 has been the constant degradation of Constitutional government as envisioned by the founders, in particular the unbalanced emergence of the Executive branch and then the Administrative State, the latter becoming a 4th branch of government that has arguably eclipsed the power of the other 3 combined. Add Judicial Supremacy, where increasingly corrupt courts have jurisdiction over all matters of civil society and rule according to the whim of judges, and you have a recipe that could hardly produce a result other than what we have got. The “people” were propagandized, “psyoped” and otherwise lay sleeping while it has all unfolded, underneath their nose. And once the People have lost power in a rigged electoral system, there is no getting it back without much kinetic energy, and as history would tell it, much blood

If the people rose up against this en masse it would be over in 24 hours. China is an advanced totalitarian state with surveillance and police powers that our amateur dictators only dream about. In 2022 the CCP watched video footage of millions of Chinese citizens taking to the streets in iron jawed opposition to the ruthless Zero Covid policy then in effect. Seeing this was the one thing that the CCP lived in fear of, that terrified them. The next day the CCP cancelled the policy and withdrew the quarantine measures throughout the country. These bastards are not as big and powerful as they would have us believe. But we have to have a spine. Without that they win.

At the end of 8 years of military service in the US Army serving in two combat arms specialties (enlisted E-1, separated O-2) I had come to understand I was part of something dreadfully destructive; one of a number of reasons I got out. Note, this was long before the US military devolved into its current state of political lunacy. I think the most worthwhile thing I did in the military (perhaps the only positive effort) was serving as OIC on numerous funeral details, which was just an additional duty at one of my duty stations. Providing families and friends with some measure of closure was clearly appreciated and of value.

Sorry, Ellen, but your statement just serves to reinforce the points made in the post and the linked article about an emotionalist (often via manipulation) stance rather than one based on reason.

There are a lot of Jews in America and elsewhere who despise the treatment of Palestinians by the Israelis (Zionists) over the decades. In fact, there is a significant number of Jews in Israel who oppose the government's treatment of Palestinians.

No one of a right mind condones indiscriminate violence. Violence only begets more violence.

You might learning something by researching the true history of Palestine/Israel. A book that woke me up over thirty years ago was "My Enemy, My Self" by Yoram Binur. You might want to check out some of the content at https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/, as well.

There are good reasons, which most of us in the USA are largely unaware of, for the UN motion by the vast majority of the world (for a ceasefire) opposed only by the USA and its vassal states...

The bottom line is the Arabs living in Gaza do not want peace, they want Israel erased and every Jew slaughtered.

Israelis (Jewish,Muslim,Christian) will fight like hell to the bitter end for their lives and for their homeland.

Shouldn’t the Hamas leaders be held accountable for their inhumane actions on Oct 7? How should that be done?

Well Tim, they've been suffering and have been murdered indiscriminately since 1948. The Jews who lived in what is now Israel had generally peaceful existence next to Palestinian neighbors and did not welcome these violent europeans. How many years do you think people should endure having homes taken and 10 minutes to get their belongings out, being imprisoned with no due process, being referred to as "dogs" and not human, having their livelihood taken by those cutting down their olive groves, being unable to travel freely, having schools closed, having no recourse to oppose this treatment? How many years are enough?

I agree the premise that war is a racket, and that the military industrial complex which includes bankers, weapons manufacturers, and politicians, reap the benefits, and will not let go of their profits and control. However, i draw the line on calls for ceasefire in the Israel Gaza conflict. Let the Palestinian authority, such as it is, release all hostages, disarm, and stop vowing to eliminate Jews and the JewIsh state. Then perhaps a ceasefire could be considered. How does one entity have a ceasefire with a group that wants its destruction?

Thanks for speaking up Ellen. I read Sachs article with interest but was horrified when he mentioned Palestinian genocide and no mention of the Oct 7th Hamas attack on innocent Israelis and the whole from the river to the sea belief. I do understand the IDF may have corrupt elements like our DOD etc but so much of what Hamas has done and the underground network and complete disregard for even their own human life speaks volumes.

The Arab Palestinian population living in Gaza has QUADRUPLED (opposite of genocide!) since they voluntarily left British Palestine in 1948.

The wisest Arab Palestinians stayed in British Palestine in 1948 alongside Jewish Palestinians. Now known as Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis, they thrive together.

The Arab handlers of Arab Palestinians living in squalor in Gaza WANT to perpetuate, not solve the squalor. Imagine if the money and ingenuity that went into building the impressive network of terror tunnels was channeled into building skyscrapers and homes for the Arab Palestinians.

That war can be and often is a racket does not mean that it always is and is never necessary or justified. Discerning the differences in situations and controlling the reaction is difficult but not impossible. Rendering oneself defenseless and unwilling to fight aggressive evil, which after all does indeed exist, is not an unmitigated virtue. Christendom's development of the principle of the just war lays out the guidelines for the breaking of the rules of civilized behavior that is sometimes, and regrettably, necessary. In the last century, Nazism was an aggressive evil that had to be defeated. Today, Hamas is such an evil, and eradicating it is neither unjustified nor a racket.

If the baby is a Piranha, it should be thrown out with the bathwater.

Christendom? You mean the Papacy, that "bastion of justice" that burned, tortured, and strangled millions of martyrs? That plundered European treasuries by selling indulgences and taking over ownership of lands in other countries, so the profits would flow to them, and not the the nations that contained those lands? Is that the Christendom we're speaking about?

I don't recall Jesus founding "Christendom". Let's ask Him. Jesus, did you found a Christian kingdom in this world?

John 18:36 "My kingdom is not of this world."

But Jesus, shouldn't we fight "aggressive evil," via "just wars"?

John 18:36 "If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight."

Matthew 26:52 "Put up again your sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."

Matthew 5

38 You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

43 You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Okay, maybe Jesus was a little idealistic. Let's try Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament. Paul, shall we fight evil people in this world, at least in self-defense?

Romans 12

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

20 Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

2 Corinthians 10

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

The book by Butler and the quote from it were new to me. Excellent. The quote from Sachs is sadly mostly true: "think of today’s federal government as a multi-division racket controlled by the highest bidders. " That doesn't stop him from pushing for all-government Medicare for all. Unfortunately, Sachs has been seriously deluded on multiple subjects, and continues his errors in his essay, which also contains some valid points. He is largely a radical leftist. His statement "...Israel’s apartheid state and war crimes in Gaza..." makes it clear that he doesn't know or care about the history or care about Hamas' determination to kill all the jews -- their stated objective. An earlier article of his in the magazine urges forcefully giving Covid vaccines to all the world -- vaccines which do more harm than good. He is all-in on the fake "climate emergency." He ranted about how important it was to limit the size of religious gatherings during Covid, calling those against it "anti-science." His efforts to end poverty were a disaster that he refused to admit. See https://psmag.com/social-justice/smart-guy-jeffrey-sachs-nina-munk-idealist-poverty-failure-africa-65348 There's lots more.

The majority of Americans are awake and know exactly what is going on now and what has been done to us for hundreds-plus years. We really aren’t falling for any of their lies and deceit. The problem is we don’t have a say, and we haven’t had a say in a very long time. We were under the illusion we had the right to vote certain people into office and that our votes counted. We now find out the choice was never ours. If we look back at history, we have to ask ourselves how many lives were expendable when any of these wars were started. I have to ask myself if these ordinary people who just wanted to go about their daily lives in Israel and Palestine weren’t expendable. I have to wonder if we had to die so the Military Industrial Complex and our illustrious political mafia on The Hill could have their lucrative wars. The Deep State (Bebe) is killing two birds with one stone. They’re getting rid of their problem and making it the Wests’ problems. Traitor Bebe already said that, that they were going to send the Palestinian refugees here, and no other country in the Middle East seems to want them coming to their country, so our Deep State is benefiting from this too. Go to Hell, Bebe. I’m tired of Americans being sucked into the world’s wars. I’m tired of our young men and women being sacrificed for these endless wars. We will find out just how loving and caring these people really are. I don’t know a lot about them, so I don’t want to lump them all in one basket. I really do not want another person from any country to come over the Northern and Southern borders. I want our country, children, elderly, veterans, and poor to be our first priority. As soon as we begin deportations, we need a moratorium on immigration. If there are people who don’t have a problem with illegal immigration, you need to sign a National Register pledging to use your money to adopt however many illegal invaders you would like to support as soon as the moratorium is lifted. Hope you can get the trillions needed to support them. I do NOT like them or anyone defacing our monuments and disrespecting our flag and causing chaos. Conservatives would have been arrested and put in prison. All I can say to everyone is believe the enemy when they show or tell you who they are. Their goals are no secret. Remember, Europe is our blueprint. Whatever happens there will eventually happen here. There is a plan for the future, and we’re not part of it. I just don’t think some Americans really know what lies ahead.
