Trump's conviction > War with Russia > Red Dawn terrorist attacks > suspended elections...

Friends,

We're very close to war with Russia, the USA and NATO. See this discussion with Col. Douglas Macgregor here. 

We are also very close to financial collapse in both America and Europe. And actual social collapse swamped with 15 million illegal aliens in the U.S. Not to mention a runaway government curtailing our freedoms and locking up opposition party leaders. Trump is the tip of that iceberg.

The population of the West seems divided between the knowledgeable and frantic versus "sheeple" stumbling along blindly. (For an excellent article on how Leftists think, or rather I should say, feel, read this.) 

How did this come about?

The conviction of Donald Trump serves as a milestone in the Deep State's collapse of the United States. It is a sign post up ahead, if I may conjure Rod Serling's ghost, of the all too real Twilight Zone we have fully entered into. Sounds too tin-foil hat, too crazy conspiracy theory? Americans are fed up with their government, which seems both incompetent and self-perpetuating despite elections. It only ever gets worse. Or I should say half of Americans think so; the other are sheeple only concerned for their specific special interest group, a Balkanization of the people fostered by government itself as a classic "divide and conquer" tactic. All of this is not just a product of happenstance.

That Deep State is real, whether you want it to be or not. Being in World War II and baptized and schooled especially during the Korean War, in the "Cold War", the Deep state thrived in an essentially symbiotic relationship with world Communism, both its nemesis and raison d'être. Now in many ways it mirrors the Communism it fought as it now violently intersects with Islam's perpetual Jihad. Islam has given it a new raison d'être. Islam justifies its existence, and the curtailment of our freedoms.

A combination of the Intelligence Services and the military industrial complex, the Deep State gave us the Vietnam war only a decade after Korea, killed John F. Kennedy who had sworn vengeance on the CIA after the Bay of Pigs, and it has whipped up the endless wars since, especially with Islam, which needs no encouragement to kill. It finally exploded Covid on us via funding insane lab experiments around the world. One can deny this all one wants, dismiss it as "conspiracy theory", at least until they shove you blindfolded against the wall. But it is real, and it is all of a piece. When Harry Truman created the CIA, he is supposed to have said he didn't want to create a Gestapo. Well, Harry, you Masonic tool, guess what? This is an old story in government; after all: think of the Praetorian Guards making one emperor after another or the palace intrigue in Constantinople. A tail wagging the dog. 

In this essay, I'll review two separate points that we must consider now, since "the handwriting is on the wall".

Conviction of Trump

So, the good news – what there is of it: look at Trump's conviction this way: Donald J. Trump has now joined the ranks of Nelson Mandela, Václav Havel, and Lech Walesa in being a felon. Mandela and Havel and Walesa were not criminals in the usual sense any more than Trump is: no, it was their governments that considered them dangerous and bestowed on them felon status in order to politically cripple them. 

Repressive authoritarian governments do that to non-criminals such as these men. Trump has joined their ranks, which include so many, even Martin Luther King, Jr., whom Democrats (mostly) arrested on 28 or 29 occasions, making him a "convicted felon" many times over. Eugene Debs was sent to prison in 1918 for "obstructing the draft and military recruitment" during World War I because he was opposed to "Mr. Wilson's War". Imagine how the Biden Regime would treat anyone opposing Biden's coming and utterly unnecessary coming war with Russia.

• History is filled with such examples involving men of conscience being labeled traitors, going back to Sts Peter and Paul. 
• It never ends because it's what tyrants do. It's human nature shaped by Original Sin.
• Therefore, when anyone brings up to you that "Trump is a convicted felon!" trope, just recite these names. Good company.

American Politics and the Godless Republic

Friends, American politics stink. Have stunk. Will stink. A few infamous examples: Richard Nixon, after receiving in 1972 one of the largest presidential vote totals in American history, was removed from office supposedly for privately contracting inter-party espionage work that Lyndon Johnson, his predecessor, did illegally using the FBI and IRS. Johnson had made sure that Barry Goldwater, the 1964 Republican candidate and first true "conservative" and "populist" presidential candidate in modern history, was totally squashed. And in return, Lyndon Johnson, being the putrid, diabolical guano that he was; i.e. part and parcel of the Deep State game, gave Americans the Vietnam War. (The Deep State arranged the assassination of South Vietnam's president just weeks before they did the same for JFK.) Just so Johnson could make money from his "military-industrial complex" connections. Eisenhower had warned us against that "Complex", and that entity, with the Intelligence services, rules the show, is behind what is happening now, along with true Leftists (i.e. Communists.) Read it here. The American Founders deeply feared an established military. They were right to do so. 

See how this parallels Joe Biden's regime giving us the Ukraine war? Hillary Clinton would have given us that Ukrainian war had she been elected in 2016. George W. Bush and later Obama and their Uniparty neo-con warmongers set it all up through complex intrigue and "color revolutions" from 2004 on.

Going back in time, Ronald Reagan, after a big election win in November 1980, was nearly assassinated months after he took office in 1981, and during his second term, again, winning an election by one of the largest vote margins in history, Reagan was hamstrung during that last term by the "Iran-Contra Affair, something Democrats cooked up against him. Between Reagan and Trump we had various Uniparty apparatchiks, until Obama, who is a true Communist. Donald Trump, another popular-vote type of winner, had his first term hamstrung by an entirely fake "Russia Hoax" that the Deep State and Uniparty ginned up. Then in 2020 Democrats cheated to get brain-dead Joe Biden installed – the evidence for that is overwhelming, with a lot of it on video. But the "Deep State" barrels on through all opposition, regardless. The people be damned. The "sheeple" bleat uselessly. Never has the separation of the American people from its government been so obvious. And it seems the Deep State, the "Powers-that-Be" is now disinclined to keep up the pretense.

Now they convicted Trump for no underlying crime that the Soros-prosecutors or Democrat judge can explain. I have been following the details, as anyone can, and unless you only listen to MainStream Media and believe everything you hear from them, you know this entire "bookkeeping scandal" is a hoax, as well. Right now it looks like Donald Trump is receiving a massive number of donations, large and small, $53 million worth in the first 24 hours, and half a billion or so in 48 – and unless the Democrats can suspend the November election via war or "scamdemic" – he'll probably win, even despite all their cheating. (Mainstream media polling seems to indicate a 50-50 split between Biden and Trump, although Biden is such a cadaver and the economy so bad I find that impossible to believe, unless America is truly populated by sheeple zombies.)

What this says Spiritually

1. All this above is in terms of mundane election and politics, mind you. In terms of religion and the country's spiritual ills, the United States of America has always been "on the jump", wrapped up in its Revolution's echoes in the sense it is not a religious country, with no "God and Country" foundation, and thus ultimately "Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law", if I dare to quote British Satanist Aleister Crowley.
   
2. This is because without an official religion framing national being and consciousness, providing a Divine Metric to judge ourselves through a grounding in the supernatural and immutable, the natural and mutable are quick to take over. Public opinion alone makes the people's policy, and ultimately the people. That's the kicker. As we see with the Deep State and its media, people are manipulated into thinking what they do.
   
3. God is not mentioned in the 1787 Constitution, you know. When asked why God wasn't invoked in any way, Alexander Hamilton laughed and said, "I declare, we forgot!" The American Revolution replaced God and the idea of government receiving its authority from God with John Locke's notion that government receives its authority from the consent of the governed. But how do the millions of governed actually "consent"? Apparently it is by electing self-serving politicians who curry their favor only to betray them to monied interests, as we see today.
   
4. American history demonstrates the country's moral instability. Founded on the highest ideals, unlike taught by the racist 1619 Project, Americans early on confronted intractable problems. Slavery, something Americans inherited from their colonial past and that many opposed, North and South, also expanded in an industrial manner to a huge scale. That happened concurrently with the slave-owning Southerners herding southern Indians onto reservations beyond the Mississippi, thus becoming America's first welfare recipients (it impoverished them), long before Lyndon Johnson boasted that his "Great Society" welfare programs did so to American blacks...
   
5. ...And in part by the American Civil War – which the Southerners fought to preserve Black chattel slavery – in which about 360,000 Union and 258,000 Confederate soldiers were killed, although new research suggests 100,000 more died, many via disease. The rich slavers and the Southern Secessionist "Fire Eaters" had actually planned to spread American-style slavery around the Caribbean, in any event. "States Rights" was a joke, another, "Look! Squirrel!" distraction. That's the real reason the Southern aristocrats broke with the Union – to replicate American slavery on an international scale at the time when slavery was becoming anathema to the Western nations.
6. The second half of the 19th century was the "Gilded Age" of the Robber Barons and from the very late 19th to early 20th began the rise – via the "Progressives" in both the Democrat and Republican parties – of the all-powerful bureaucratic state which soon enough blundered America into WWI. 
7. Was the "consent of the governed" manifested in any of this? Is it today?
   

Dying Christianity

Now, a large majority of Americans have always been Christian, at least until World War II. But as detailed above, the religion itself has never held representation in the government; it has had no formal voice or power of restraint of any sort. The only influence government allowed it was atomized into millions of voters whose public opinion was easily manipulated. A prime example was the Confederate grandees who got the poor whites to fight their war for them while the Confederate Congress exempted sons of the Planter class. The Founders, you see, didn't want any religious authorities affecting either slavery or Indian removal.

1. Truly, "do what thou wilt" was the watchword, and still is today.
2. Only now the acceptable behavior boundaries have changed because a fully hedonistic, Sodom-like anti-civilization run by a totally godless bureaucracy rules all. 
3. The various Christian denominations of American Christianity have been fading out fast since World War II and the Deep State rise. Most painful is Catholicism, run by unbelieving homosexual perverts whom the Federal government pays millions to to manage "immigrants". (The American bishops, like "Pope" Francis in Europe, never saw an illegal immigrant they didn't love.)
4. Religious Jews have been a minority of that confession for over a century. 
5. Muslims are pouring in, but Islam is more crudely political than even godless Communism.
6. Only a strong and wide-spread, sincerely held return to the idea of "Christ is King" can save the USA. A spiritual reorientation and regrounding, founded from above in a religion preaching that God took on human form to uplift human nature, thus completely cancelling Original Sin, is necessary. 
7. But neither Islam nor Judaism believe in Original Sin, and neither do the "Progressive" Leftists, who don't even believe in God. Because of this faulty spiritual anthropology, we're doomed.

We see from the story of Candace Owens how various powers-that-be do not like that focus on and understanding of Christ. To the extent influential non-religious and Leftist sects intentionally weakened Christian American culture, they opened the door to Islamic invasion. Just brilliant, that. The Muslims know what they want. See Islamic leader declaring Muslim U.S. domination. So much for American religion being a saving grace to the great godless Republic.

My Second Point

Red Dawn and Suspended Elections

Given the dismal review above, we can be certain this situation cannot continue. Something has to give: either serious financial collapse, which does indeed seem imminent, a war with Russia that the American Deep State wants but no Americans will fight, or what is called "Red Dawn" terrorist attacks from within the country.

My point in this essay is twofold: to stress that Trump's travails exist due to the American state nearing its nadir because of spiritual problems the government is constitutionally forced to ignore; and secondly, to suggest that the Soviet show trial farce in New York that has now convicted President Trump serves as the "Look! Squirrel!" trick to take your attention off of the increase involving odd happenings recently, such as the bomb at the bank in Youngstown, the occasional burning of food processing plants, the very recent 5-alarm fire at Farina Farms Inc. in Marion County, Illinois, on Wednesday night, that killed millions of chickens, and the sudden "scamdemic" "bird flu" that has one Governor Kim Reynolds signing a disaster proclamation on Tuesday for killing more than four million chickens because they were supposedly exposed to "a highly contagious bird flu." 

N.B. We've been through this avian flew rodeo before. The Spanish Influenza post-WWI was supposedly an avian flu virus but what you're never told unless you read specialty literature is that two different sets of Public Health Authority researcher teams (one in Boston, one in San Francisco, I believe) slaved for years to try to get patients exhibiting flu symptoms to infect volunteers – extensive research they (supposedly) wouldn't be allowed to do today, including transferring body fluids, mucus, saliva – and they never reproduced the "flu" in the volunteers!

On top of that, you are generally not told about the shocking amount of farmland Red China (and Bill Gates, etc.) owns in the U.S. or that story about the Special Forces major who caught two Chechen illegal aliens photographing his kids (with a telephoto lens); he confronted one and shot him. 

Considering that the Biden misAdministration, the Biden regime, has let 15 million or so illegal aliens into the country, it is not surprising that Wayne Allyn Root says two million of them are terrorists and Root reports his contacts in the CIA are telling him to expect a "Red Dawn" series of terrorist attacks across the U.S. Colonel Douglas Macgregor says he thinks at least a 100,000 Chinese military-aged men are now in the country.

Root explains how even a modest number of these terrorists – a few thousand – using simple weapons (handguns, automatic rifles, grenades) acting simultaneously can completely shut down the country. This is our reality. Did you know that 30,000 Chinese illegals – men of military age, mind you – have entered the U.S. since October? 

Root asks rhetorically why? One of his commentators immediately replied that the American government (CIA, FBI, etc.) are allowing this in order to declare a state-of-emergency and martial law, and of course suspend the November elections.

Friends, I can remember people talking about Jack Kennedy's assassination. One of my brothers was in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, in the Mekong. Shot full of holes, but survived. I saw Nixon come, Nixon win again, and Nixon go, to be replaced by tumble-down Gerald Ford (they've named an aircraft carrier after him but it doesn't work, either). I've seen the U.S. president get a gargantuan vote total only to be replaced by a president NO ONE elected at all. I've seen the Clintons, the Bushes, and that utter fraud, Obama. I've seen so much American history that I can tell you I believe Root and this "Red Dawn" terrorist attack scenario. Colonel Macgregor has been saying for months he doesn't expect there to be an election in November. I think he's right.

That is the context in which to see what they're doing to Trump. It fits the pattern of what they did to Nixon and Reagan.

In light of all this, the best commentary on this conviction is what Catturd said. He didn't bother addressing Democrats, but to Republicans he said:

Dear Republican Party@GOP
…

I don’t want to hear another damn word about Ukraine.
I don’t want to hear another damn word about Israel.
I don’t want to hear another damn word about GAZA.
I don’t want to hear another damn word about Taiwan.
I don’t want to hear another damn word about any other country except the USA, you America-last war pigs.

The fascist Democrat Party has completely destroyed our country from within, we have a wide open border, and they’re shitting on the Constitution while you spineless, coward losers get rich on insider trading, rage tweet, and talk about your “principles.”

They’re literally arresting their political opponents and their lawyers and having kangaroo communists show trials – and you pitiful, worthless losers are doing absolutely nothing.

If you don’t have balls to fight for freedom – RESIGN !!!

Found at: https://thelibertydaily.com/four-critical-reactions-trump-verdict/

Of course, the Deep State barrels on. War with Russia and "Kangaroo communist show trials" seem to be working for them. Why not a pointless war with Russia? Why not more political arrests? And there's always "Red Dawn". 

Be ready. For anything.

We Want Satan, and We Ain't Waitin'! Ohio and Kentucky's vote

Friends,

Vox populum: We want Satan and we ain't waitin'!

The notion of collective punishment revisited. 

Regarding the November 7 election: If I still resided in Ohio, I'd leave. 

God was not exactly mocked in this latest election – more like utterly ignored. And note this wasn't the case of some idiot judge somewhere who had absolutely no idea of embryology, genetics, or even metaphysics and natural law. This involved instead a majority vote of the Ohio demos for the devotees of Moloch, a.k.a. Satan, to damn all and sundry in the entire state.

That's mob rule, a.k.a. "democracy". Kinda like Original Sin. Everyone gets to be damned, you see? Unless God is particularly merciful on Judgment Day. And unless we bend over backwards to earn that mercy through prayer, fasting, and good works. No "cheap grace" this round. No Lutheran snow on a dunghill or Calvin's pre-predestination warm glow inside. The Ohio vote bore a collective out-and-proud affirmation that "We want Satan and we ain't waitin'!"

The forces of evil won in Ohio on November 7 via popular vote. They even voted in "recreational marijuana use". 24th state to do so. Great. Get stoned so you cannot notice Hell opening for you.

1. In the American context, the old way of putting this was vox populum, vox Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of God. I.e. final authority, the ultimate judge. Public opinion, solely, is God.
2. To which Ohioan General Sherman wryly commented, "Vox populum, vox humbug." ("Humbug" being a 19th century version of something much sharper today.) 
3. They want to damn us with collective guilt, much like Israel is applying to the Gazans. Most Gazans probably strongly support Hamas, but whether they do or not, the Israelis are applying collective punishment. Truly, the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
4. Democracy implies as we benefit collectively from the actions of the majority, so the actions of the majority can damn us collectively.

Lot and Sodom

Let me solemnly assure you that Lot was saved from Sodom SOLELY because Abraham was his uncle. That's it. But a damnation resulted anyway, because Lot had chosen to live in Sodom. He had a free choice. Could have separated from Abraham and then lived most anywhere. But nope, the dope chose Sodom, which archaeology has clearly identified in Jordan northeast of the Dead Sea: a site called Tell el-Hamman. (See the videos of Dr. Steven Collins.) Collective punishment followed Lot. So, Lot's wife looked back and died and later in a cave his daughters committed unspeakable (and unthinkable) sin with him to found two bastardized "nations" of imbeciles. One daughter turned out to be the mother of what would become Moab, a hopeless pagan enemy of Israel (yet God saw to it that the nation of Moab eventually produced after many generations one Ruth, who became an ancestress of Our Lord.) What happened to Lot after that, though? Vanished from history. In inexpressible shame.

Kentucky meanwhile voted to keep its Democrat governor, who will take the first opportunity to lock the people down and force them to wear masks in the next fraudulent "plandemic". Democrats have never left off being slave masters. He'll support the national Democrats in stopping next year's election (don't think for a moment that that isn't coming!) I thought Kentuckians were smarter than that. Was I ever wrong. 

What about the Church?

I've read where the bishops of Ohio didn't campaign too diligently against the referendum. When have American bishops ever? 

1. The bishops are Siamese Twins with the Democrat Party, and today live off the largess of the Federal government paying them to manage all the illegal hordes (er, excuse me: "refugees") flooding the nation. 
2. They could have stopped abortion in its tracks back in 1973 by excommunicating any politician, starting with Ted Kennedy, who promoted abortion. 
3. Don't bishops know they have supernatural power? 
4. Don't they know exorcists can make demons scream and howl just by showing the devils a photo of the local bishop? 
5. Regarding Soros and all those financing this pro-Abort vote, the bishops could at least recite at Holy Mass the "cursing" psalms of 68:20-29 (Psalm 69 in the Jewish Masoretic/Protestant numbering) and 108/109, and others. 
6. So, they did little or nothing? Whether true or not, we needed a Fr. Altman in every parish and seated on every bishop's cathedra. Instead, they cancel him.
7. The FBI and Deep State will shut the Church down anyway; might as well go down fighting.

And please believe me when I say that Fr James Altman was and is quite right that a Catholic cannot vote for a Democrat. Democrats have not only gone full abortionist, they've gone full communist. (Someone recently wrote that if you don't believe that, look up the Democrat's national website and then look up the Communist Party USA's website and try to find any differences.)

• Being part of a "democratic" governance makes each of us responsible for what happens, and certainly a Catholic who votes for a Democrat (or a pro-Abortion "RINO") has put a millstone around their neck, one they don't usually feel, though deep down I think they know what they've done.
  
• God knows exactly what they've done and will confront them with it when it is too late for them to "change their mind" because in Eternity, one experiences the "Boundless Now" as Boethius described it, and it is too late to change one's damnation.

The Secular Explanation

In terms of secular politics, the general consensus is that "Big Money" from outside of the state bought the vote for abortion in Ohio. No doubt. Many George Soros types exist, and as Elon Musk says, Soros clearly hates humanity. Butchering babies is as inhuman as it gets. (He definitely needs a psalm read against him.) But Ohioans have to be so utterly heartless as to not care, for surely they now ALL know what abortion is and what it does. Therefore they tar all Ohioans as pro-Aborts by association: Ohio, the place where abortion RULES. And now where parents cannot stop their children from mutilating themselves.

As I say, because we can vote, when the vote is for evil, we all get tarred with that sticky sulfur-stinking offal. Myself, as well. Of course, I had requested an absentee ballot and my county Board of Elections sent it to me and I marked it to turn down the proposal, but as noted, the vote was widely in favor of adopting the amendment. Naturally, the sacraments will wash off the carrion, but we have to be ever more scrupulous in our spiritual lives because now all Hell (literally) has us in its armpit until the Tribulation – which I think has begun – runs its course.

Truly, in the words of St. Paul, we need to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12-13

I think I shall listen to Tallis. Lamentations of Jeremiah.

Coup d'état in the U.S.A.? Part III American History from 1960

A friend, commenting on who really runs the world, wrote me: "Maybe some day we will find out who is actually running the show."

Well, that's a great question. Who can answer it? I'll give a rough try, FWIW. I cannot help but be sarcastic, however, as world history since 1960 is absurd in the extreme. 

1. Satan and his peeps run the show in the overall scheme of things, of course, even now in the Vatican (people have known this for decades, even Paul VI famously asserted it about the "smoke of Satan..."; he wrote that in 1972; it was formally published in 2018). 
2. But I'm guessing the people on earth pulling the strings are the big bankers, and that would include BlackRock and Vanguard, who basically own most things. 
3. There's some old banking families that still are incredibly powerful, and George Soros (and now his son) probably fits in to that crowd one way or another. 
4. Whether the World Economic Forum is a joke or a serious Fascist-style takeover threat, remains to be seen.

Whatever else is true, the American people are no more sovereign in America than Charles is Sovereign in England. The American people don't want what they're getting. Yet they still get it good and hard. 

• This is a bitter irony because the idea underlying the existence of the U.S.A. is that its people are sovereign; i.e. not a king, nor an aristocracy, nor a plutocracy, nor a bureaucracy, and certainly not God (the U.S. Constitution pointedly does not mention God at all and excludes organized religion from any governmental role), but the people in general. The people are sovereign. This was the idea John Locke had and Jefferson, Madison, et al., promoted. Today, what we seem to have instead is an "Intelligence Service" bureaucracy government with a Potemkin Village "face" made up of the worst people imaginable, a "Kakistocracy"!

Take the following example. The American people proved what they wanted to do about the Vietnam War by voting in Nixon in 1968 and after he showed he was clearly getting us out of that war, they landslided him back in in 1972. His popular vote margin stood at +23.2%. The popular vote margin was 47,168,710 to McGovern's 29,173,222. Nixon carried every state except Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. (The District of Columbia is a joke; it's a Democrat Party prison-insane asylum: it should be dissolved or completely "demilitarized" with no "self-government" or vote for those who choose to reside there, and certainly no federal courts of any kind except the Supreme Court – all other lower federal court jurisdictions are created by Congress.)

Same again with Reagan in 1984. Popular vote for Reagan was 54,455,075 votes versus 37,577,185 for Walter Mondale. Reagan carried every state except Mondale's native Minnesota (and D.C. again, of course). In every other presidential election, the Republicans ran their establishment ("GOPe") candidates (Bob Dole, John McCain, the two Bushes) and either lost (first two) or narrowly won (second two). Clearly, the sovereign people rejected those clowns.

But the huge populist wins didn't matter. A Deep State coup d'état sent Nixon packing, and his vice president before him, so we had our first "installed" president, Gerald Ford (whom today we'd call a classic do-nothing GOPe "RINO" who lost his election bid in 1976). They tried to assassinate Reagan in 1981 only two months after he took the oath of office, and in his second term, they left him a total "lame duck" with Iran-Contra and a host of other garbage. As for Nixon, he himself did only a fraction of what Lyndon Johnson did, only Johnson was for more brutal and far-ranging in crime than Nixon. Nixon famously said, when asked about Kennedy's assassination, "I never wanted the office so badly that I'd kill for it." (Paraphrase, but pretty close.)

And that brings up Kennedy's assassination. The CIA hated him (see: Bay of Pigs), so did the Mafia. Nobody hated JFK, though, as LBJ did. JFK was a womanizer and drug addict (originally because of his hurt spine); the only admirable thing about Jack Kennedy next to his Navy service was his anti-Communist stance. LBJ, on the other hand, was a womanizer, thief, liar, personally more corrupt in government, far more corrupt, than the entire Kennedy family. But push came to shove. Jack was about to bunk out of Vietnam for a number of reasons – the British P.M. told him to get out, he didn't want to escalate American involvement – and esp after the South Vietnam's president, Ngô Đình Diệm, was brutally assassinated (a CIA-backed op) on November 2, 1963. A mere 20 days after Ngô Đình Diệm's death, Kennedy himself was killed. It was also about a week before Kennedy was going to accuse Lyndon Johnson of corruption. Gee, what a coincidence! Johnson was the most corrupt and downright evil man ever to be president, and dumber than Bill and Hillary combined; he was definitely in the pocket of the "military-industrial complex". (But you'd never hear that if you only read mainstream news.)

So there you have it. After Eisenhower's warning to the American people about the "Military-Industrial Complex" (now "Deep State") in this farewell address on January 17, 1961, we got an Asian war no one wanted or could explain, especially galling in light of what we ought to have learned in Korea a decade earlier. (Today we're friends with Communist Vietnam and ignore their atrocious human rights/religion violations.) Add to that any number of wars in the Mideast, one of which we left with our tail between our legs and tens of millions of dollars of military equipment behind, and now a war in Europe we seem hell bent on turning nuclear, no less – not to mention two coup d'états, the election of the two Bushes (ham-handed types much of the time, though the older was a naval aviator in WWII and the younger one once owned a baseball team, so there!), the senior Bush, George H.W. Bush, being the son of Nazi financier and WASP scion Prescott Bush, a banker, mind you, who became U.S. senator; replaced in 1992 by Bubba Clinton and his harpy lesbian wife, deadbeats who never worked a day in their lives, then a pot-head homosexual poseur whose father is unknown, and his "man wife" (c'mon; ever see Michelle's "package"?), also deadbeats who never worked a day in their lives – we don't even know what grades they got in college except reading Michelle's dissertation makes one realize 'she-he' has about a fifth-grade education level. And now we got a demented non compos mentis puppet who, back when he was actually alive, was also a deadbeat poseur who never worked a day in his life, and even plagiarized his academic and other writings, molested his own daughter, caresses and "handles" little girls on camera, and who shelters his crackhead porn-whore addicted son, both father and son clearly bought and paid for by the Chinese. The latter, to round this off nicely by returning to where we started, now owning the Vatican. (Smoke of Satan, indeed.)

And I haven't even mentioned abortion, yet. 

I mean, whoever is calling the shots for the U.S.A. must think we're all collective imbeciles for allowing this farcical farrago fatuity to continue five seconds! (The same, the exact same, could be said about the world's bishops in regards to Bergoglio.) Perhaps we are collective imbeciles, or perhaps we just have to be pushed far enough to finally snap and push back. I have no doubt "they" the Powers-that-Be are waiting for that very thing. We'll have to see. 

How much longer can this go on? Financially, these cretins though their mismanagement and endless wars have bankrupted the country. This can't go on forever. And the educational system is a catastrophe. Read this from Ann Barnhardt. Certainly, "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." This laconic comment by Herb Stein, a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, may well describe our near-future. 

One way, or the other.

Coup d'état in the U.S.A.?

Friends,

Former CIA Sam Faddis makes a very credible argument that the bad guys in the U.S. government/Deep State are planning a coup d'état in the U.S. before the 2024 election. 

Everything in the country really seems to be heading in this direction. There's just simply unnerving lawlessness in the streets, the morality of the people is in the dumpster, which is itself on fire (abortions since Dobbs have actually increased in number!), and our economic situation is simply horrific. Thirty-three trillion in debt, heading for the stars, and a government, a Congress and executive, that can't even remotely agree on a budget. Besides all that, the utterly ridiculous Global Warming idiocy is about to force a massive famine on all of the world in order to crash the population so the new Fascists at the WEF can rule us all. (All who remain, that is.)

Communism came to America in the latter 19th century, mostly with immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe. A lot of murder and mayhem was going on by the time of Theodore Roosevelt's administration that you don't hear much about (William McKinley, anyone?), but WWI and then the Roaring Twenties tamped down the "Reds" for a while. They surged back into their own with the Great Depression, itself brought on by the Federal Reserve national bank (they turned it from a typical sharp but short-lived economic downturn into a first-class social and cultural disaster). Then the Franklin Roosevelt administrations (including the Truman administration) – endless Big Government giving birth to Deep State government – ensconced the Commies into our government. Joe McCarthy and Nixon tried a push back on all that, but the coup d'état that overthrew the most popularly elected president in history from office (Nixon in 1972), and replaced him with a RINO not elected president at all, showed how powerful they had become.

Newt Gringrich (actually a professional historian), lays much of this out here. He writes:

When you dig into the larger facts behind the stories, it becomes clear we are not faced with a disease that can be eliminated by going after a handful of people. America today is threatened by a culture and system of left-wing hostility to the Constitution, the rule of law, American history, and to the core concept of America.

There are tens of thousands of left-wing radicals in universities, newsrooms, bureaucracies, major law firms, big corporations, and elected offices. They mutually reinforce the fight to destroy the Constitution and replace the rule of law with the rule of power. All the while, they weaponize the government and culture to coerce the American people into their values.

So, we are in a fix. The 2020 election was brazenly stolen, and the 2022 election was as well, in such a way that the Republicans didn't sweep back into power as they did in previous "off-year" elections, such as 1994 or 2010. And most elected Republicans are bought and paid for "RINOs" anyway. The triple elections of Nixon, then Reagan, then Trump (all three re-elected twice) shows that the country at large doesn't want the Left's weltanschauung. They're going to make us take it, though, if they can, even if they have to go Red October on us. Alas for us, Pope Francis/Bergoglio, also a Leftist, is doing the exact same thing to the Catholic Church, stamping down hard on what remains of the pre-Vatican II Church, slapping down the actual, but helpless and unlamented, Vatican II Church, and replacing it with a Socialist-Homosexual carcass already rotting and full of rainbow maggots.

All this has bee a long time coming. The good news, however, is that ever more average Americans see it. The bad news is the bad guys know that and are more desperate than ever to force it on us. For the Communist Democrats, it is pointless to run that imbecile Joe Biden (an imbecile before he went into dementia) or trade him for Gavin Newsom (another feckless, entitled idiot) or Michelle Obama (a she-he who is to lazy too be president) or Hillary Clinton or whoever. Trump is going to win. They're going to try to steal but EVERYONE is watching for that now. Another brazen steal would also lead into true insurrection territory. (They tried to tell us what they'd do to us with that via the "January Sixers", but you can only push people so far before unhinged violence erupts. And I suspect the Covid flimflam has shorted a lot of fuses.) So since things are that bad for the Left and the Deep State, then why not "jump the shark" now, before the election, and "go for broke" and pull their coup d'état now?

Can Kari Lake's lawsuit win in Arizona? What it means for American and World elections.

Friends,

If you're interested in elections and government, read Kari Lake's lawsuit she has filed to win the governorship of Arizona. Some say it reads like a "thriller" and of course others dismiss it entirely, as does the Arizona Mirror and Arizona Central.

. 

Lake makes the case in her own words here (third interview down) with Steve Bannon. 

Plainly, the Arizona Mirror and the Arizona Central above are two partisan news orgs against Lake, and whether their arguments have merit depends on the judge, ultimately. We'll see how the judge rules on the upcoming petitions to throw the lawsuit out. Were the judge to order the suit to trial, however, the trial would begin this coming week. I would guess that if the judge keeps the suit and tries it, Lake might well win. Should she win, the Democrats will appeal it all the way to the Arizona Supreme Court, which I believe leans more Leftist than not.

• Given the state-controlled power in American government, it seems unlikely it will go to trial, or if it did, that Lake would win, because such a turn of events would demand attention focus on just how badly U.S. elections are run. The Deep-state rulers do not want that.
  
• Conversely, if it is dismissed or obviously dispatched with contempt, the people of the country will be both educated and enraged, producing a revolutionary environment. After all, if ballots are suppressed, bullets rule. Polls suggest some 70 percent of Americans already think their elections are rigged. 
  

For anyone wanting a "deep dive" into current election rigging and theft, this article has a lot of detail, and many worthwhile links.

As Covid and the longer-running "Climate Change" frauds show, the "Powers-that-Be" in the world – those who control most governments – have a plan to reduce us to serfs, or more likely genetically impoverished slaves. (A good portion of humanity suffering as slaves is the traditional human scheme, actually. The World Economic Forum, etc., are just depriving us of our 300-plus years of Western Classical Liberal birthright for the older paradigm.) As part of that, they cannot allow Kari Lake or Donald Trump or Jair Bolsonaro or even Viktor Orbán to last. (See the excellent essay Hungary, the Only Country in the West.) They must suppress these leaders, and because Lake was so popular and such a prime, superior campaigner, they had to go "over the top" or "jump the shark" in Arizona, ridiculously messing up their election rigging so badly that the whole world will see it. The Arizona election is that significant.

Hence, my friends, the stakes. Allowing the Democrats to steal the 2020 election put a Chinese Communist Party operative in control of the U.S. (Biden's probably mostly just a figurehead, of course, but still a "gopher" for Xi): Read Sam Faddis interview here. We simply must stop this insanity if we want a future other than perpetual servitude. (That is, those of us who are not eliminated already via the "vaccines".)

Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon Him.

As the American Republic self-destructs...two theories, and a civil war?

Friends,

The Venetian Republic lasted 1100 years. The American one not so long. The Republic of Venice endured from 687 to 1797, when the French under Bonaparte, that, er, 'republican' revolutionary, snuffed it out. Many reasons exist, no doubt, for this temporal disparity, but I think a big one is the American Republic kept religion as far from having any formal say in the state as possible. The First Amendment, as far as the religious clause goes, wasn't to keep religion free from state interference (ask Mormons about that, or the 'Radio priest', Father Coughlin, or currently, Father James Altman); oh, no. It was to keep the state free from religious interference. The Catholic Church and the Venetian state, of course, weren't such strangers to one another.

Certainly the United States government seems to have an ethics problem. It is immoral as Hell. We can't seem to keep any moral men in power. We can't seem to keep an SANE men in power, as the Democrats, in this huge spending bill they just passed that will create a massive IRS to fleece the commoners, the Democrats refused to pass a Republican clause that only women can bear babies. (Insisting you believe in something manifestly not true is one of the control techniques and is an essential element to Biderman's Chart of Coercion, and THAT is what this is about.) 

Right now, this raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence is an opening of Pandora's Box (okay, okay, it was a bag, sheesh). President Trump – well, he is sort of president, as Biden isn't a real president both because the 2020 election was rigged and because he doesn't even know where he is most of the time, so I suppose Trump could still be considered president – is the Prometheus the American people need to fight a runaway U.S. federal government. Half the country sees him that way, the other, when not involved in an orgy to aquire monkey pox, seem to think Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell (technically a RINO and not a Demonrat) and Nancy Pelosi are actual people, and not Chinese mannequins. What can I say? Their supporters consist of the types who apparently think men can have babies.

About the raid, though, why it occurred, who is behind it, more information keeps coming out. One thing many are saying is this definitely appears to be a major change in just about everything relating to the American people and their government. This is just too egregious an outrage, so totally "unAmerican" on just too many levels, for it to be ignored or dismissed, as was the treatment of Roger Stone, for example, when that old man and his handicapped wife were hustled out of their house by federal agents in full battle gear, after the agents alerted the Leftist Washington Post to be there and film it all.

Donald Trump has been a target of endless investigations, official and unofficial harassment, and lies. "Russia-gate" was a fraud, then the two, TWO impeachments of Trump were frauds, and all the blather about the January 6 fiasco is dribbling madness fraud. I can usually bear reading, for a while at least, Leftist arguments about their favorite issues, but I just can't tolerate the "narrative" that January 6 was some sort of quasi coup-d'état. (Nancy Pelosi, you're lost soul is calling. Liz Cheney, in Hell you'll reside in your father's armpit – when stuck up his, er, well, ahem.)

I think the latest ideas going the internet rounds on the raid are two-fold. One theory is based exactly on all the lies about Trump. The Deep State lied about Trump and railroaded him over the course of his presidency (Russia-gate, first and second impeachment), and there is evidence of that. And Trump has this evidence, the theory goes. They are lividly desperate, therefore, to confiscate the evidence. It will truly exonerate him and also indict the Deep State. So, they pulled off this crazy raid –  keeping his lawyer out of the house, showing her the warrant only from ten feet away and not leaving her a copy, demanding security cameras to be turned off (which the staff didn't do, thankfully, so someday we may see them on vid going through stuff not on the warrant, like Melania's undies), and so on. This is a PR disaster for the Demonrats, that way, and more. Very few individuals tolerate well the idea of strangers going through their stuff.

The other idea is they want to plant evidence. Destroy Trump that way. That's a dangerous thing to try to do. And absolutely desperate. But as a sort of corollary to that, they might have re-classified documents that Trump himself declassified but didn't know they reclassified. The Conservative Treehouse, whom I often link to, has some extremely thorough articles on this. For a taste of that, here's a bit of commentary from someone with the right background to know wrote in a comment over at The Conservative Treehouse (obviously, I recommend the articles over there, and many of their comments):

In a professional organization, this is what happens. However, the reclassification of previously declassified material is a rare occurrence. In addition, material may be declassified but still have other restrictions placed on it such as Official Use Only (OUO) or Business Confidential.
...
However, if a document containing such material is found to be in someone’s possession, it is technically possible to allege that the person holding said document is doing so without proper authorization in violation of law. But to make such an allegation against a person who has no criminal intent and who is unaware of the change in status of the document is clearly an egregious abuse of prosecutorial power.

AnP again: Compare all that to how they treated Hillary, who actually, willfully, destroyed evidence. We KNOW she did, but she was never remotely prosecuted for that. We must not forget that, or how Obama's people carried out crates off documents from the White House and stuffed them in a warehouse outside Chicago, to go through them at their leisure. No one raised an issue with that, and why should they? "Presidential library" and all that.

Personally, I don't think they'll be put off by it being an egregious abuse of prosecutorial power, do any of you? They seem absolutely desperate and without even a fig leaf of legal propriety.

I think we can all expect indictments to be brought against Trump very soon, now, regardless of the merits. Why? Because the Deep State clearly wants to start a civil war and everything they're doing aims to spark one. Obviously, they intend to win. But once you "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war", as Shakespeare had Antony roar in Julius Caesar, all best are off. This raid on Trump is the equivalent of Brutus and Cassius & Co.'s assassination of Caesar. They thought that "taking him down" would put them in the driver's seat, when it instead backfired totally on them. I know very well, however, that how this goes all depends who who Anthony turns out to be.

So, we'll have to see.

Psalm 146 of the Douay-Rheims: verse 9:

Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon Him.

"Don’t be shocked at anything our ruling regime does from here on out."

 Friends,

The Biggest News since Pearl Harbor, and probably even Fort Sumter. The bad guys in the Deep State went for broke last night.

1. First, they're fishing for a crime. That's what they did with the two impeachments, and the Mueller investigation, and fishing for a crime is not how police work in a free country is supposed to proceed. They've been auditing Trump and investigating him for years, and there's no politician alive who could have survived what Trump has gone through that way. That's how incredibly squeaky clean Trump is.
2. Second, a N.B. regarding Trump having classified documents: 1, Trump's daughter-in-law says Trump's team was cooperating; this raid was unnecessary except as theater, and of course to set precedent; 2, they can easily reclassify documents that were previously unclassified in order to bring charges against Trump, and 3, Barack Obama's people took many boxes from the White House when Obama left, and these were gone through in Chicago, without anyone saying anything about Obama stealing documents, while Hillary Clinton took not only documents, but antiques from the WH, and she was never charged with anything. 4 Besides, the question is actually about whether some documents should have been sent to the National Archives instead of home with Trump – honestly, this is the lamest joke excuse.
3. We can pray this is so over-the-top that it will produce a backlash that will finally force change in the U.S. We can at least pray it does.

Anyway, Demon worshipers of Moloch and Ba'al and Xochiquetzal are all liars. (Just ask Bergoglio.)

A lot of articles are being published on the American police state's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home last night, but for one excellent essay, look no further than John Zmirak here at Stream.org. 

If you've never read him, John is my kinda Catholic. Review his articles. This one about last night is excellent, and he also references and quotes from and provides a link to conservative scholar Michael Anton's prophetic piece published a fortnight ago.

As it is clear the mainstream Republican politicians are going to do nothing about this, we need a nation-wide strike to get their attention. At this stage of the American government's collapse, though, nothing will probably work except full-scale confrontation. As former New York police commissioner Bernie Kerik says here, they'll stop at nothing to prevent Trump from being president again, including assassination. Read Zmirak and also Michael Anton for why "The Powers That Be" hate Trump so badly. 

The USA has three months to make sure a November Congressional election takes place at all, and that it isn't egregiously stolen. Were I still in the US, I'd probably end up arrested myself. As it is, I'm going to read some medieval Irish poetry.

Why did Elon Musk buy Twitter, and will he restore free speech to it?

Amici,

Massive speculation exists on whether Elon Musk is both sincere and capable of restoring freedom of speech to Twitter. We'll have to see. Doing so would rob the U.S. Government "Deep State" of a titanic portion of its propaganda power. (The world Deep State, as well.) Twitter is actually probably run from U.S. Government servers and is a "Deep State" operation as its server requirements are planetary-scale huge and it can't possibly make money for profit, as does FB, etc. Twitter, FB itself, and so on, were probably set up by the U.S. Intell people to begin with! (If that idea is true, Elon might quickly be compromised, or disappear.)

So, what now? Tucker Carlson talks to Glenn Greenwald about it here. Greenwald, an old-fashioned Leftist-Liberal, lays the options out pretty well, so it is worth listening a couple of minutes to. 

There's a theory, amici, that the moment, the need, the crisis, creates the man. That's where we got Caesar, Constantine, Pope Leo the Great, Pope Gregory the Great, Otto the Great, William Wallace, St. Joan of Arc, and later George Washington, Napoleon, Lincoln, and so on. The idea is that a perilous situation somehow conjures up the guys to fight for its good resolution. If true, this is metaphysical, and of course spiritual, but I think it is often true, but then, those who responded and failed might not be remembered at all.

As we sink – apparently hopelessly drown – in the putrid flood of The Great Reset/Communism Revivus/One-World tyranny that has nearly engulfed us, the need for freedom may have called out across the world. It's a crisis obviously demanding a hero, and Musk might be the one man who heard it and who could also do something about it. (The Church should be doing something about it, but it is not, thanks to the Modernist occupant of the See of Peter.) That has to be an exhilarating feeling. 

We'll see. Honestly, we need to pray Musk is the right man for this and does the right thing, though they will definitely try to destroy him if he does, because we've never been so close to surrendering to Satan and his crumple-brained monkeys (Schwab, Soros, Gates, the occupants of the U.S. Deep State, not to mention Bergoglio and The Homosexualist Anti-Church, etc.). 

Now, we need a Gregory the Great Revivus Restorer Ecclesiam for the Church.

Extremely important Tucker Carlson opening: must see about Biden's Ukraine lies

Amici, friends,

More crazy news about Ukraine, and most of it we cannot believe. To go against "the narrative" the MSM and the Biden Regime are promoting can lead to one's "cancellation." Tucker Carlson must be therefore angling for Fox News to fire him. He really lambasted the Mainstream Media and the Biden Administration, and the Republican big shots, too, here. Tucker is all monologue here, and he is scalding. (The guy must have kids; he does, of course.) This is the proverbial "must see" video. (And also see Carlson's interview with Colonel Douglas MacGregor here. This will also get Carlson fired. After all, if they fired Lou Dobbs, they'll fire Carlson.) 

One Nota Bene: since Carlson's segments ran last night, so far as I understand it, the Polish government has put a stop to the insane U.S. idea of "gun-running" fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine. Either they were going to and quickly backed out, or the Biden Regime was out-and-out lying. (What else is new?) If that is true, thank God; we might avert a world war yet. It seems the Europeans are going to have to get tough with the reckless Biden regime, one way or another. At least, if the Euros want to continue living. Otherwise, they're going to have a full-scale war in Europe, brought on (so strange to write this!) by Americans. What do they want war for? Wipe out Europe, so it is like it was in May, 1945? Or what? Or is Ann Barnhardt right, and this is the Sodomite revenge on what remains of Christian Europe? And if that sounds "tin-foil hat country, look at these pics. (Zelensky is full abortion, full deviant rights, etc. At this point, my friends, I'm willing to believe anything.)

Carlson brought up a number of essential things, and one of them is food production, but a great article on the upcoming mass famine is here, a Mike Adams article: https://uncanceled.news/global-crop-collapse-now-a-certainty/.

Mainly, Carlson talked about the warmongers' moralisms. I'm beyond repulsed over the faux moral outrage about Ukraine being invaded. Drop the moral outrage, MainStreamMedia, drop the phony pity, American government. It's total hypocrisy. They treat the actual Ukrainian people no better than they treat their own!

And Carlson asks if war is so outrageous for them, why don't we read anything about the war in Yemen or the one in Ethiopia, or the 100,000 killed in Mexico over the drug cartel wars. (In contrast, 50,000-plus Americans were killed in the over-a-decade involvement in the Vietnam war. Mexico is a slaughterhouse.) And other "regional conflicts" exist just as brutal, right now, going on today. We never hear about those. But because Biden and Friends of Biden and corrupt American politicians like the Obamas and the Clintons (the latter have shamelessly restarted their "foundation"), and the RINOs and various business people have an apparently bottomless money pit well gushing dollars from Ukraine into their pockets, we only hear about the Ukraine.

Carlson asks, isn't anyone paying attention? Biden is getting NO push back. Biden apparently and the people who run him, i.e. Democrat, Republican, Deep State, World Economic Forum leadership grads –  for them, it's a Globalist World – so, these people want war. It'll will reduce world population and liquidate the nation-state. But if we crash the Russian economy, stop their exports of food and fertilizer – we will DESTROY THE WORLD. Hundreds of millions might starve, even if no missile is ever fired. In revenge, the Russians will just send both food and fertilizer to China and Iran, and open new markets in other parts of the world, because, or so I've heard it said, people need to eat.

Another Note Bene: some say Putin wants to conquer all of Ukraine, but that's not his stated terms for stopping the war. He could very well be lying, but what, do we continue the slaughter rather than find out? Others say that Russia will never give up Kiev, birthplace of Russian Orthodoxy. Maybe. Still others say that by hook or by crook: total conquest or "Findlandizing" Ukraine, he wants the wonderfully fertile soil of that region. It is as important a breadbasket for the world as is the mid-western U.S./Canada states/provinces. But then Mother Russia herself, as it is, remains a major world foodstuff exporter. And of course Putin sits on incredible oil and gas reserves. So, whatever. Time will tell.

America

But what IS it with the Biden Regime? Is the American government both trying to start a world war and also bankrupt the West – or as much as the world that doesn't go along with this insanity? Already the price of urea fertilizer in the U.S. has gone from $200-something a ton last year to $800 this year. We are all going to starve, thanks to the Deep State. Of course, the Bottom Line almost certain is the World Economic Forum wants to use all this to create a One World Government/Great Reset wherein we're all slaves. But as those people are not elected, we've no way to remove them from "office" (which they don't bother to have). Then again, America's leaders are fraudulently elected, and we can't remove them.

As Carlson says, the American government should be trying to de-escalate this war, but instead we're trying to escalate it. We could STOP this stupid war by stopping all plans of bringing Ukraine NATO or the EU. Simple. Putin only invaded right Ukraine after Kamala Harris, the Hetaira to Priapusian Democrat big shots (well, more a street-corner drachma type), when visiting Germany a fortnight ago, openly encouraged Ukraine to join NATO. This is true. Check the timeline. Putin invaded just days later. And he's warned for at least a decade or more that he would act in just this way were the West to try to get Ukraine into NATO/EU.

Moralizing Idiocy

And enough of this damned "Moral Panicking" shtick. First it was BLM and then Covid for the sake of which we were supposed to be morally outraged for – and in both cases, anyone and everyone who questioned the "narrative" was silenced, deplatformed, made "unpersons", etc. But almost none of the bull excrement propaganda narratives about either of these absolute fiascos were true, and now the new moral panic is "Russia, Russia!" So the solution is crashing the world economy and destroying the dollar and plunging the world into destruction like we didn't see even in the Great Depression!

And all for...hypocrisy, in spades

WHY? Because Putin wants Ukraine to be a neutral buffer state? Jack Kennedy nearly plunged the world into Nuclear War in 1962 because Khrushchev put missiles into Cuba. How is Putin's demand any different? One does NOT have to be "pro-Putin" or a "Putin puppet" to see Russia's point here. One does not have to condone Russia's actions to see that if Jack Kennedy had a point, so does Russia. Putin's issued his terms on what Russia wants from Ukraine to stop fighting, and they are fait accompli: mainly simply that Ukraine be formally politically and militarily neutral. (And formally recognize the Crimea as Russian and those two new "republics" Putin has declared are to remain, with the unstated desire of course for the Ukraine to be Putin's client state.) So...

STOP THE DAMNED INSANITY.

Oh, wait, we no longer have representative government. Our votes are useless. Our will is ignored, and our sovereignty vanished. We're slaves already.

We apparently missed the memo.

As "Jerm Warfare" writes:

"Naturally, those who know nothing about Ukraine's politics and history, are the ones with a Ukrainian flag on their Facebook profile. They're also the same ones who tell others to get the jab.

"It's not about understanding anything. It's about signalling one's virtue. Displaying one's superior sense of morality to the world. Following the herd and looking like a good person. Being woke while simultaneously being asleep.

"In other words, like former KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov warned about during the 1980s in an incredible interview, the West's cultural Marxist shallowness will lead to its own demise."
