That is one magnificent rant; you didn't miss a beat! I plan on sharing it, but unfortunately, too many are too complacent to shake the boat. Just like the Jews in 1930s Germany, they refuse to connect the dots. Heck, most don't even notice the dots as long as they still have beer and TV. Thanks for reiterating my frustration.
"Conservatives tend to be complacent. Live and let live is a conservative idea.'
David Horowitz, interviewed by Ben [Schapiro] (2021)
If you add live-and-let-live attitude with the success of the free market and industrial revolution at providing such a good standard of living, then you don't end up with a lot of people willing to man the barricades.
It's true. Many people think that because we have a decent standard of living, as a whole, that is the test of freedom. Fact is, our standard of living would be much much higher IF we had the freedom they "think" they have. It's like Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Simple Lesson. The story of the vandalized window at a shop. You can see the short term benefit for the glass manufacturer and the installer, but most people don't see the long term harm as the shop keeper wasn't able to purchase a camera he had his eye on because he had to pay for a window and installer. It's like war too. So if you were able to KEEP the fruits of your labor, how much better off would the economy be if you had an extra $5,000 a year to spend on goods and services? I look at freedom as being able to do whatever you want as long as you harm no one. Being able to own what you want as long as you harm no one. Simple isn't it? But the psychopathic control freak parasites want to rob, rape and steal from us and we call that freedom. HUH?
I am becoming convinced that it's not just normal change, but efforts to destroy the middle class and weaken each citizen by all the things you mentioned, particularly taxes. What isn't taxed, usually more than several times? Plus, our jobs have been destroyed and outsourced to third world countries and China. It's easy to blame greedy corporations, and they are part of the problem, but "free trade" treaties have done much to destroy jobs, such as the steel and automobile industries. Before 1913 and the 16th amendment, most federal revenue came from tariffs. It seems to me that laws are made to protect and serve the "elite" and privileged, and destroy the American citizen. What will the influx of illiterate, untrained "refugees" do to American citizens? Nothing good, I'm afraid. Plus, we all have some part when we purchased cheap goods from China. Now we often have no other alternative because we couldn't see the big picture. And the government failed us at every level. Does any one see a viable way forward at this point?
They want to take us from soft communism into hard communism where they will fill jails with the likes of the January 6th protesters and ignore the Constitutional restraints against trials that take two years to have. Are we any less targets than they were? Just watch...Do you think there is a REASON they want to take away our "assault" rifles?
"America is the Communist Paradise." ~Станислав Лунев (Stanislav Lunev) - Soviet Defector
"Does any one see a viable way forward at this point?"
That's the 64 trillion dollar question. All we seem to be able to do is to react to the latest leftist outrage. Meanwhile, we lose more ground every day. It's appalling.
"Fact is, our standard of living would be much much higher IF we had the freedom they "think" they have."
Truer words were never spoken. If Americans could somehow be shown what they WOULD have had if the leftist government regulators had not inhibited and limited freedom and free enterprise, would immediately rise up in revolt at the crime that has been committed against us.
I know I've mentioned this before on your page, Lion... Shhhhhhhh! *There's no such thing as a VIRUS.* So how come you can't accept this?
For the same reason other people can't understand that there is a cull going on...
And I don't think we need that many numbers, either! We outnumber the Evil Ones by BILLIONS-- I think far less than BILLIONS is required to shut them down... I could be wrong... I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. ;)
Now how bout you read MY page now and then? I think you'll appreciate this post from today...
I do read your page on occasion. I'll check this one. I'm having a problem understanding this: "I know I've mentioned this before on your page, Lion... Shhhhhhhh! *There's no such thing as a VIRUS.* So how come you can't accept this?" ????? We need people at the local level to organized against issues that affect them. The problem is that people don't even know their next door neighbors. I've met mine. They are sort of strange on one side with purple hair and on the other side they are just plain weird. Or should I say the man of the house is an a-hole.
I just feel like it's kind of essential that we can all understand the depth of the EVIL that's being perpetrated on us, for the past three years and also WELL before that, as you know. I commented because while I feel that you "get it," on SO MANY levels, you seem to not know that this whole "virology" thing is a scam. The Evil Ones are working very, very hard to stop this information, because if it takes hold, their entire operation is OVER.
That's the extent. Otherwise, I love that you are so on top of things!!! Truly, I've learned stuff from you, about the corporatization of our country and other valuable nuggets of truth about the economic and legal issues, too.
So, apologies if I was irritating (Burr in the mane?), I think of you as one of the Top Truthers!
" I commented because while I feel that you "get it," on SO MANY levels, you seem to not know that this whole "virology" thing is a scam." I'm not so sure how you can come up with that? I must have missed something. I know you must have missed:
Yep, you missed something that is being seriously repressed, so... I believe you missed it and aren't just being stinky, LOL.
No, it's HEAVILY SUPPRESSED, of course.
There's an excellent group of doctors who are trying to inform us, but they are smeared and censored, so you might have to seriously dig, or know someone like me that just happened to be in the right place at the right time...
Check out Dr. Sam Bailey, her husband Dr. Mark Bailey, Dr. Tom Cowan... those are my three faves, but there are others, and it's getting out there...
This is only "my" conclusion because other, educated people in the field of medicine have convinced me. I know, it's hard to believe at first. Just remember all the SCAMS going on in the world of finance and politics, and consider the EVIL of Big Pharma, and sooner or later, you'll get there. Can you imagine that we've been LIED TO for nearly two centuries? Okay, then.
So what did I miss in those two posts? One explains the ludicrousness of a virus right in the main up front meme! If the GERM THEORY WERE TRUE, NO ONE WOULD BE ALIVE TO BELIEVE IT. The "Virus" is the main character of the germ theory. It is the "germ". Fungus is fungus, bacteria is bacteria, a parasite is a parasite. NONE of them are "germs". Because if they WERE, no one would be alive to believe in them. You cannot label me correctly by claiming I believe in a virus. BTW...guess who this is with me? Hint...He's VERY informed on the no virus reality...
and scroll down the page until you find this link where it says: So SHUT UP Dr. Samantha Bailey! You are screwing up our revenue stream! https://drsambailey.com/what-is-a-virus/
The way that the local power company responds to these forms and threats of lawsuits is to come to your house with the meter and call the sheriff to be there while they install it. So two armed deputies show up and force corporate policy on you with guns available.
Yes, I know. I already have had the meter installed about 2 years ago. I am trying to get the old meter back, for free no charge. The solution is not to back down, and for many many people to demand this. Also, for all of us to report our power co's to the FCC because it is illegal to install a wireless transmitter on a private residence. The more people do this, the more difficult it will be to send out police with every installation. Or, as you seem to suggest we should acquiece because 'they have guns'. Up to you.
I acquiesced because they have been put on notice. IF there is something caused by the meter they will be held liable. I purchased an EMP reader and have found no anomalies in my home that is close enough to us to create an issue. I have to be 10" from the meter for it to go haywire with red flashing lights and beeps.
Even as a child, I know everyone here had that feeling, long time ago, that things just didn't add up. Not in school, not in church, not on tv, not in our books, not even at home, sometimes. I always had a feeling that these adults looked furtive, guilty even, like they weren't telling me something. Now I see it all boils down to this period in time. We were right and if we blow it, we'll all go back to living a lie and forcing all of our future children to carry on living in darkness. It's time. If not now, when?
I think people feel like they're not able to do much... it takes organizing and we've lost our way with that sort of thing... except for some of us older farts that were alive in the 60's. ;)
There are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions who are just waiting for the “ call up”. But, we have no leadership that is capable of such a grandiose enterprise.
Came close on January 6 , but no cigar. You can’t have an “ insurrection “ without the force to sustain it.
We are now , officially, afraid of our government.
I don't particularly have warm fuzzies about the future. TPTB are using two things to gauge the amount of resistance to expect: those who put on the mask and those that rolled up their sleeve for the poison jab. I can too well remember being the only person in the store without the face diaper. I also can remember being refused entry because I would not be muzzled. The majority in my circle have been jabbed and boosted, and can't understand why I am so stubborn. I hope others have had better experiences regarding these two benchmarks of compliance.
Strange isn't it? There is something going on that is drawing all of the divergent among us to the same conclusions. I'm going to be 69 on the 6th of June. I've been divergent since elementary school. I was the guy who seemed to always get in "trouble" because I asked questions of the "teacher" that couldn't be answered and it frustrated them. So instead of just letting it go, they would allow their ego to get the better of them and start to figure out ways to punish me for my inquisitiveness.
I was a tall lanky kid who didn't do very well in the physical education class. At the age of 12 I was getting ready to go to Junior high next semester and my PE teacher, a Mr. Blenn decided to give me a going away present. He, in front of my complete PE class told them all they were all going to be able to give me a whack with a paddle he was holding in his hand...My response? I walked up to him and hit him in the face as hard as a lanky 12 year old could! His response was to take me to the office and proceed to try to get me punished. Well to his dismay the principle actually sided with the lanky 12 year old! I was a feisty lanky lion cub, to grow up into one the biggest PITA to "them" that could possibly live. I afraid to say, that WE are the minority of the minority. BUT it doesn't take a majority to make a change. Only a small minority willing to light brushfires of FREEDOM in the minds of our fellow human beings. So let's get the word out. Until we hear 8 billion say...WE WANT OUR WORLD BACK, WE WANT OUR LIBERTY, OUR DIGNITY, OUR FREEDOMS AND OUR RIGHTS RESTORED! WE WANT OUR WORLD BACK AND WE AIN'T TAKEN ANY MORE FLACK JACK! WE'RE MADDER THAN HELL NOW AND WE AIN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!
TPTB who want to take over the world and all that is in it waited until they had installed all the mechanisms of control they needed to effect their plans. That time is now. They must believe that any resistance by us little people will be futile, and they may well be right. We can be fed up as much as we want, but it will be nigh on impossible to stop these people from getting what they want.
And as I sit here and read these comments, a speech comes to mind...I will post a story of it here. It was given by a man who was in his late thirties a couple of hundred years ago. 39 to be exact.
Patrick was convinced that war was around the corner, and he arrived at the Virginia Convention determined to persuade his fellow delegates to adopt a defensive stance against Great Britain. On March 23, he put forward a resolution proposing that Virginia’s counties raise militiamen “to secure our inestimable rights and liberties, from those further violations with which they are threatened.” The suggestion of forming a militia was not shocking in itself. Other colonies had passed similar resolutions, and Henry had already taken it upon himself to raise a volunteer outfit in Hanover County. Nevertheless, many in the audience balked at approving any measure that might be viewed as combative. Word that King George had rejected the Continental Congress’s petition for redress of grievances was yet to reach the colonies, and some still held out hope for a peaceful reconciliation with Britain.
After several delegates had spoken on the issue, Patrick Henry rose from his seat in the third pew and took the floor. A Baptist minister who was watching the proceedings would later describe him as having “an unearthly fire burning in his eye.” Just what happened next has long been a subject of debate. Henry spoke without notes, and no transcripts of his exact words have survived to today. The only known version of his remarks was reconstructed in the early 1800s by William Wirt, a biographer who corresponded with several men that attended the Convention. According to this version, Henry began by stating his intention to “speak forth my sentiments freely” before launching into an eloquent warning against appeasing the Crown.
“I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided,” he said, “and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House?”
Henry then turned his attention to the British troops mobilizing across the colonies. “Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation?” he asked. “Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? …Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.”
(ARE WE TO BELIEVE that the ARMING of 87,000 IRS agents and given the training to use deadly force is for someone else? That the ATF,FBI, NSA, TSA etc are there for our BENEFIT and to protect us? Have recent actions by these agencies of the psychopaths' been evidence enough that the answer is NO? C.L.)
As he continued speaking, Henry’s dulcet tones began to darken with anger. “Excitement began to play more and more upon his features,” the minister later said. “The tendons of his neck stood out white and rigid like whipcords.”
“Our petitions have been slighted,” Henry said, “our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne…we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!”
Henry stood silent for a moment, letting his defiant words hang in the air. When he finally began speaking again, it was in a thunderous bellow that seemed to shake “the walls of the building and all within them.” His fellow delegates leaned forward in their seats as he reached his crescendo.
“The war is actually begun!” Henry cried. “The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” As he spoke, Henry held his wrists together as though they were manacled and raised them toward the heavens. “Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty”—Henry burst from his imaginary chains and grasped an ivory letter opener—“or give me death!” As he uttered these final words, he plunged the letter opener toward his chest, mimicking a knife blow to the heart.
For several moments after Henry sat back down, the assembled delegates seemed at a loss for words. “No other member…was yet adventurous enough to interfere with that voice which had so recently subdued and captivated,” delegate Edmund Randolph later said. A hushed silence descended on the room. “Every eye yet gazed entranced on Henry,” said the Baptist minister. “Men were beside themselves.” Colonel Edward Carrington, one of the many people watching the proceedings through the church windows, was so moved that he stood and proclaimed to his fellow spectators, “Let me be buried at this spot!” When he died decades later, his widow honored his request.
While some of the Convention’s delegates clung to their loyalist stance—one even called Henry’s words “infamously insolent”—the “Liberty or Death” speech tipped the scales in favor of defensive action. After Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson both lent their support, the resolution passed by only a few votes. Henry was appointed the head of a new committee charged with readying the Virginia militia for combat.
Henry’s call to arms came at a pivotal moment. Less than a month later, skirmishes between British troops and colonial minutemen at Lexington and Concord resulted in “the shot heard round the world” and the first casualties of the Revolutionary War. In Virginia, scores of colonials—many of whom had embroidered the words “Liberty or Death” onto their shirts—flocked to join local militias. “The sword is now drawn,” wrote the Virginia Gazette, “and God knows when it will be sheathed.”
Patrick Henry would go on to serve as both a delegate to the Second Continental Congress and as Virginia’s governor. He played a crucial role in securing men and arms for George Washington’s Continental Army, but many would credit his silver tongue as having been his most indispensable contribution to American independence. “It is not now easy to say what we should have done without Patrick Henry,” Thomas Jefferson later wrote. “He was before us all in maintaining the spirit of the Revolution.” ~Evan Andrews

Nevertheless, many in the audience balked at approving any measure that might be viewed as combative. Word that King George had rejected the Continental Congress’s petition for redress of grievances was yet to reach the colonies, and some still held out hope for a peaceful reconciliation with Britain.
After several delegates had spoken on the issue, Patrick Henry rose from his seat in the third pew and took the floor. A Baptist minister who was watching the proceedings would later describe him as having “an unearthly fire burning in his eye.” Just what happened next has long been a subject of debate. Henry spoke without notes, and no transcripts of his exact words have survived to today. The only known version of his remarks was reconstructed in the early 1800s by William Wirt, a biographer who corresponded with several men that attended the Convention. According to this version, Henry began by stating his intention to “speak forth my sentiments freely” before launching into an eloquent warning against appeasing the Crown.
“I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided,” he said, “and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House?”
Henry then turned his attention to the British troops mobilizing across the colonies. “Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation?” he asked. “Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? …Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.”
(ARE WE TO BELIEVE that the ARMING of 87,000 IRS agents and given the training to use deadly force is for someone else? That the ATF,FBI, NSA, TSA etc are there for our BENEFIT and to protect us? Have recent actions by these agencies of the psychopaths' been evidence enough that the answer is NO? C.L.)
As he continued speaking, Henry’s dulcet tones began to darken with anger. “Excitement began to play more and more upon his features,” the minister later said. “The tendons of his neck stood out white and rigid like whipcords.”
“Our petitions have been slighted,” Henry said, “our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne…we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!”
Henry stood silent for a moment, letting his defiant words hang in the air. When he finally began speaking again, it was in a thunderous bellow that seemed to shake “the walls of the building and all within them.” His fellow delegates leaned forward in their seats as he reached his crescendo.
“The war is actually begun!” Henry cried. “The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” As he spoke, Henry held his wrists together as though they were manacled and raised them toward the heavens. “Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty”—Henry burst from his imaginary chains and grasped an ivory letter opener—“or give me death!” As he uttered these final words, he plunged the letter opener toward his chest, mimicking a knife blow to the heart.
For several moments after Henry sat back down, the assembled delegates seemed at a loss for words. “No other member…was yet adventurous enough to interfere with that voice which had so recently subdued and captivated,” delegate Edmund Randolph later said. A hushed silence descended on the room. “Every eye yet gazed entranced on Henry,” said the Baptist minister. “Men were beside themselves.” Colonel Edward Carrington, one of the many people watching the proceedings through the church windows, was so moved that he stood and proclaimed to his fellow spectators, “Let me be buried at this spot!” When he died decades later, his widow honored his request.
While some of the Convention’s delegates clung to their loyalist stance—one even called Henry’s words “infamously insolent”—the “Liberty or Death” speech tipped the scales in favor of defensive action. After Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson both lent their support, the resolution passed by only a few votes. Henry was appointed the head of a new committee charged with readying the Virginia militia for combat.
Henry’s call to arms came at a pivotal moment. Less than a month later, skirmishes between British troops and colonial minutemen at Lexington and Concord resulted in “the shot heard round the world” and the first casualties of the Revolutionary War. In Virginia, scores of colonials—many of whom had embroidered the words “Liberty or Death” onto their shirts—flocked to join local militias. “The sword is now drawn,” wrote the Virginia Gazette, “and God knows when it will be sheathed.”
Patrick Henry would go on to serve as both a delegate to the Second Continental Congress and as Virginia’s governor. He played a crucial role in securing men and arms for George Washington’s Continental Army, but many would credit his silver tongue as having been his most indispensable contribution to American independence. “It is not now easy to say what we should have done without Patrick Henry,” Thomas Jefferson later wrote. “He was before us all in maintaining the spirit of the Revolution.” ~Evan Andrews
