Hmm....

Bad guys: RINOs, Dems, DC bureaucracy, 3-letter agencies/ALL of them, Federal Reserve and associated banks, industrial military and media complexes, complicit corporations & foundations....in the US...

Good guys: RFK, Trump, Paxton, MAGA-loving folks.

(Notice the first group are made up of ‘groups;’ the second group is made up is ‘individuals’)

We are at the point where each must make a choice.

Ashe said it best, “Learn to code and eat the bugs or join the fight to end globalism. These are your only options.”

Pray for our country’s people to return to God and once again adhere to the principles that ensure each individual remains an individual. God, please bless and protect all who work to expose the truth.🙏

Well stated, ALtab. We are witnessing the influence of a century of Marxist infiltration into our educational system, each succeeding generation more deeply captured than the previous. We now have an entrenched “group think” class of citizens who have actually been taught how NOT to think critically. The Marxists started out with an economic ideology but saw that it wasn’t working in America so they regrouped all their focus into a cultural transformation - their greatest tool has been the American classroom. And they’ve been “progressively” at it since at least the 1800s. The purpose of indoctrination is not wisdom; it is to think using instilled assumptions without ever examining those beliefs.

We who have escaped the matrix of group think, we see it. The brainwashed can not see it - yet. The whole “precipice” concept is for them. I do wonder how many on the very edge of that cliff will actually question their indoctrinated “reality”?? I imagine they will experience a mental/emotional realm of deep confusion….is that the crack where the light of reason finally dawns? 🤞❤️🕊🙏🌎

Now, this is well stated, Featherjourney!! This is all so true. A couple of years ago, I reread ‘The Naked Communist, and from the perspective of being a teenager in the ‘60s (and reflecting on the 2-parent 50’s family I grew up in), it was so painfully obvious how the indoctrination was implemented in the education system. I believe after WWII was when the plan to take over the world was solidified and when the internet became ‘household’ was when the plan to speed everything up was made. Unfortunately for the cabal, the US still had the Constitution and the very tool they planned to finalize control backfired and the very tool for enslaving us was used by anons and a whole lot of believers worldwide to find and expose truth! This has and is continuing to bring their evil out of the dark and into the light of day! Blessings to you! You are so loved!🙏🙏

First, thanks for the nostalgic moment! When I was a kid living in the country, our nearest neighbors were an older couple who ran a greenhouse selling plants. They were wonderfully tolerant of us kids, sneaking in the back door…Oh my, how I loved the feel and the smell of that greenhouse in the summer!!!

Second, absolutely great point about the internet. And over a decade of very little censorship…which I credit for much of my waking up!

I just read Pete Hegseth’s book: Battle for the American Mind, Uprooting a Century of Miseducation.

A very good read!

Happy tending to your chickens and greenhouse, my beautiful spirit sister ❤️🙏🇺🇸🕊🌎📚🍁

Something is puzzling me, make a choice between individuals or groups? That would be short-sighted. In actuality some of my groups aren't there. We do have your best in mind though.

Expand full comment

Clarifying a distinction here:

You can certainly have groups made up entirely of independent thinking individuals.

“Group think” was a concept heavily promoted in Obama’s (funded by Bill Gates) Common Core. Here’s an example: Common Core favors groups of students, say five students, the “correct” answer to a question must be correctly agreed upon by consensus. 2+2 ….

4 of the 5 students say the answer is 5 and the one who says 4 is considered wrong because the group says so!

That is group think. Independent logical reasoning is discouraged and that has been the Marxist “progressive” agenda for decades.

SAT scores used to measure a person’s ability to REASON . The “progressives” changed the SATs to measure “equity”, to make the playing field even outcomes for everyone. Reason, logical thinking was out; it didn’t matter…just think the way they want you to think.

RFK assassination plot was probably launched by White Hats. 1 More failed attempt @ waking up sleeping normies. This weekend I attended a party of friends from my childhood neighborhood. These ppl have known me since I was 5 yrs old. Okay ... long time ago. Almost all are libtards (like I used to be) here on north shore of Boston. Out of 30 ppl there were 2 patriots. Even after all this insanity: Covid Mask & Vax Mandates, Vax injuries, Child Trafficking, Organ Harvesting, AdrenoChrome, Russiagate, DJT's many successes as POTUS vs. the actor, Obvious Election Fraud in multiple elections ... 28 out of 30 good moral human beings remain deeply committed to staying lost in The Matrix.

imo: White Hats made a colossal Mistake. U MUST TAKE AWAY THEIR MONEY. And I mean ... ALL OF IT. That's the only thing that will wake 'em up. As long as they can pay their bills, eat well & live in diminishing relative luxury, these zombie normies are so numb that nothing awaken their higher intelligence. Not even an RFK assassination.

As Iggy Pop sung, "Trying to steal a moment of Pleasantry in this Zombie Birdhouse ... Run, Run, Run, Run like a Villain, let the Good Time Roll , Run like a Villain to Save your Soul." This is exactly what the normies are doing.

The system is on its last legs. They are about to find out what it is like to live in a world where the systems they depend on no longer work.

One of the reasons I think 'city people' vote democratic is that the dems promise to take care of them. They (the 'city people') depend on a complex urban infrastructure that they do not understand and cannot control. So a promise -- even an empty one that the dems have no means to keep -- makes them feel comfortable. Until it doesn't.

People who live in small towns and rural areas understand and often operate the systems they depend on. So they vote for the party that promises to leave them alone. Unfortunately that party is not very good at keeping its promises either.

I live in a rural small town and, being friends with people who worked in the Town Hall, I heard the story of a family who moved here and after six months they went to the Town Hall to ask why they hadn’t gotten a water and sewer bill yet? They were living in a lovely house and had no idea they had a well for their water and a private septic system.

You raise a good point about urban folks taking for granted the basics of infrastructure!

Well, rural life is not for everyone. I've lived in the city (Silicon Valley ca. 1980) and in the middle of nowhere (rural British Columbia) and many towns in between, so I've seen pretty much everything there is to see regarding peoples' level of understanding of the world they live in. My favorite story is of the maybe 4th grader, ~10 years old, when asked where hamburgers come from. Answer (more of a question, (s)he had no idea): a hamburger tree?

The Lawfare is insane in this weird time. - TX Impeachment. MI FBI kidnapping trial. The Trump Trials. Not mentioned today Hunter and Joe.

It's has always been a standing joke about the place of lawyers in our society and politics. But lets face it, the "law" is no longer an arbiter of reality. The Judiciary are so completely politicized that no longer can anyone expect a non political outcome.

As Shakespeare states, "The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers." Why stop there. Go after the media as well.

The left understands it. They know that they’ll be able to take over an ignorant population with greater ease than one where everyone understands their rights. When they control the narrative and the judges, their job of pacifying the populace is easy.

As long as lawfare is free (i.e., paid for by the taxpayers) we will never get rid of it.

If the government had to pay the winners every time they lost a lawfare case (maybe the winners' legal costs plus 50%), AND the government lawyers had to forfeit their pay for the time they worked on the case, then lawfare would end tomorrow. Bada-bing, bada-boom!

And on another note Regarding the UAW Strike: How many people have paid attention to the number of high profile strikes that have happened during the Brandon Regime?

Ask yourself the question about what political factions that the strikers are represented by. To my memory, only the Law Enforcement Unions supported Trump in 2020.

And guess what all these lefty unions are demanding now? For the Country to show them the money - despite the fact that the same faction they supported has tanked the economy, caused massive inflation and loss of buying power, destroyed their working conditions, incentivized business leaving the US? The America Last policy is not working. But the Workers Unions still can't see it.

As for the Entertainment Unions, I just don't give a crap.

Don't lose any sleep over the labor unions either. They are obsolete. They served a purpose once, a long time ago, when worker mobility was minimal and 'robber barons' could take advantage of them. Now when a worker can get a new job by just driving into a different parking lot in the morning, unions are parasites. Fewer workers than ever are members of unions, and if you get rid of the teachers and government employees (who should not be allowed to unionize) then unions would be almost non-existent.

The UAW Union is a private sector Union, right?

Far more dangerous are the public, taxpayer funded unions like the different Teachers Unions, long associated with the Democrat Progressive Marxist Party.

Expand full comment

All unions are Marxist with the possible exceptions of some law enforcement unions.

And yes the UAW is (for the most part) private sector. I say 'for the most part' because the UAW is a large union, and I would not be surprised to find that it has groups of public employees here and there that they represent. You do not have to work in the auto industry to be represented by the UAW -- the employees just need to vote by 51% for the union they want, if they want to be represented. The Teamsters, for instance, represents quite a few non-transport employees.

To me the most dangerous union today is SEIU -- the Service Employees International Union -- who nominally represent workers in food service, hospitality and related industries. They are dangerous not because of their union activities, but because of their affiliation with Antifa and other thuggish organizations. You will often see thugs wearing SEIU shirts intimidating MAGA and other conservative people. They are one of the left's main 'enforcer' groups. They approached a young black vendor of T-shirts and similar swag at a conservative rally and threatened him, saying 'What kind of ni&&a are you anyway?' They don't care for black folk, or anyone really, trying to make a living and take care of themselves and their families.

Maybe 100 years ago. Unions came to power when workers had little mobility and there was little competition for their services. Times have changed. Now workers, even low-skilled workers, have many options and can go where they get the best deal, union or not. Employers must offer fair wages, working conditions and benefits to attract workers.

This is why union membership continues to drop in the private sector. Joining a union doesn't get you anything you can't get in the free market. The only workers who are unionized today in significant numbers are government employees. They exploit a market distortion to command ever increasing wages. That distortion is that there is no restraining mechanism on price, i.e. wages. In the private sector an employer who pays employees more than they are worth, i.e. the fair market price for their work that their competitor pays, must raise prices, will lose market share, and if the situation continues will fail. Government employees face no such limiting mechanism -- there is an infinite source of money from the taxpayer's pockets.

Of course eventually, once everyone works for the government and they are all paid 10x what they are worth, the economy collapses. This is why government employees should not be allowed to unionize. No natural restraint on wages.

When I was younger, say 1960s, government workers in general earned ~30% less than private sector employees. They were willing to accept this in consideration of their lifetime job security and superior pension benefits. Now they still have the job security and pension, and they earn much more than similar private sector jobs. And there are more government workers than ever. Their unions have been good to them, but it cannot go on forever. Any system like this based on a distortion in the marketplace will eventually collapse, when the goodies run out.

Thank you for clarifying. Truth be told, I started working for the State of CA a year ago. I now see firsthand why people have said working for the government is like Socialism. There simply is no motivation to work hard or put in the extra effort, since our pay is fixed and not tied to making a profit. I’ll guiltily admit I’ve never had the best work ethic, probably due to never feeling like I was getting paid enough to get ahead, but I’m starting to think it would be better for me professionally to work in the private sector. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to have a decent job with good benefits, but my motivation is seriously lacking here. I’m a state scientist and there is a union, but I declined to join as of now.

RE: UAW Strike & Automation .... how does implementation of 6000 Suppressed Super-Tech Patents come into calculus w/ Global labor force? 45 has spoken openly about cars that will fly happening sooner than u think. Aren't White Hats tacitly rolling out Tesla Towers & Free Energy Vehicles? Isn't Toyota rolling out a car that runs on hydrogen? Yes, Automation works to increase profits/efficiency for Corporations. But isn't the shift from OLD Tech to NEW Tech a vital cog in the Industrial Machine?

As an undergrad philosophy major back in early 80's I had a professor who predicted the existential challenge/opportunity on the global horizon when automation would eliminate manual labor and liberate humanity to explore deeper questions of who we are and how we find meaning in our lives.
