Buck up! We now know exactly who we can trust. The answer is no one who is currently in DC (AG's office, CIA, FBI,) to name a few.

Reminds me of when I first heard Stephan Molyneoux and saw his early video "History of Your Enslavement" - where he points out we're just livestock and the government is the farmer. Of course they'll shoot a girl in the neck. Stop kidding yourself. They'll blow your wife's brains out if there's a lack of compliance. You don't f*ck with these people.

During this whole BLM movement of the past year or so I was reminded to give my son the lecture. "If you're ever stopped by the police you need to be very polite. 'Yes sir, yes maam...what can I do to help you?' They can take you out in a heartbeat just because they're having a bad day. The goal is to get away from them quickly and peacefully and make it home." This is what all those claiming special victim status were saying they were having to tell their kids. My son looks like Barron Trump. Doesn't matter. This isn't about color...all this crap we were seeing protested this past year. It's about force and abuse. It transcends color. But a vast majority of Americans don't seem to have two damned brain cells to rub together.

I expect no progress anymore in America. Just moronic violence. I was discussing this with a friend the other day. This past week I was watching that movie "First Man", about Neil Armstrong. If you haven't seen it...see it. It reminded me of how far we've come in America with technology in my lifetime because my very earliest memory is probably my dad saying "Listen to this on our radio. This man is going to step on the moon, son." Now we've all got computers for phones, the internet, etc. But are our lives better? Is our existence any safer? Are we enlightened as a people? Of course not. Why is that? Because we never bothered to learn how to think. Trust me...that's no accident. We really are just livestock.

Sorry for the long rant. 2020 was a f'ing disaster. I had worked hard my entire career to help mankind and make enough dough to be comfortable. I generated solutions that nobody wanted at first because of various stupid excuses. Then the pandemic crisis got as bad as I predicted and now everybody wants a piece of my time because everything has turned to shit. Zero foresight from people who needed to have it. Now I put in 12 hour days all the time but I'm getting too old and tired to continue to do that. Don't expect anything to improve in America...I'm glad I'm heading to the Gulch.

Yesterday not withstanding, Trump can do a good thing for this country by releasing and forcing (somehow) as much information as possible about as many of the things that have emitted a stench during the past 4 years. Do EVERYTHING he can to get all of this into the public. As much about the Biden crime family and the CCP as possible.....among others. Yea, I know VP Hairyass will take control. Just lay bare all the info on the dummycrats as possible so that we have some chance of surviving.

I saw the video of them shooting that girl. It was cold-blooded. They didn't need to kill her. She looked as harmless as can be, too.

Thank you for your service all the same. It was the sacrifices that you and your contemporaries made that at least got us to this point. We all know the way of the gulch. Best to Go Galt! Follow the NAP. Sit back and enjoy the decline.

I hear you. This is the beginning of the End. There will be only two outcomes: either this nation is destroyed by socialists and we spend the next 50 years trying to win back our nation, or there will be some event which exposes these liars and hypocrites to their own destruction. I prepare for the former while hoping for the latter.

The country isn't worth your breath anymore, but now that Bidem is in charge, your breath is now considered a pollutant, and you have been given a muzzle (i.e. a required mask) to keep you quiet.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

The readers (and comment participants) of this board should know that the "carbon core" principal of the US is actually the principal of the individual. When OP states he had served a nation with a failed philosophy, I too am disappointed. but it is not the US as a current philosophical collective you served, is it not your belief in what it stands for: mankind"s unalienable right to exist? We in the valley of gulch still exist, we are still here. We still think, proceed, work. AJAshinoff, did you serve the corporate US, or did you serve your right to live? And you know your service was righteous. Because we know what the "carbon core" principle of the US is, three entities: You, me and the next guy/gal. John Galt's character placed his life in jeopardy for that same principle. A principle that will never die until the last human gives up on himself.

I’m 77 and not ready to throw in the towel at all. For me this is a rerun. My first presidential vote was for Goldwater in 1964. He was our “last hope” and when he lost to Lyndon Johnson in a landslide, the country was “doomed”, it was “all over”. Then the Dems overplayed their hand, Johnson served only one term of his own, and four of the next five presidents were Republicans.

The playing field has changed, but the game is not over. The Supreme Court is in conservative hands. Election security is now a front-and-center issue, and will likely improve by the next round in 2022. The entertainment Industry and big media are hard left, but that has been largely true since the 1950’s, and their bias is now obvious rather than hidden. Trust in government is at an all-time low. The lockdowns are becoming increasingly unpopular, and are increasingly being blamed on the Dems. Because of those same lockdowns, home schooling is making a big comeback.

Since the Dems are now running the country, voters will hold them responsible for whatever damage they cause in the next two years. Their margin in both houses of Congress is razor-thin, and can easily be reversed in 2022.

Although there’s no guarantee that things will get better, I don’t see any reason to abandon the political and ideological battlefield just yet.

For the first time, my husband asked if we should leave the country! That is major. I always have fought, no matter who is in office, but this election is a deal breaker. When my overeducated butclueless daughtertold me Biden did not say on camera that they had pulled off the greatest voter fraud in history, I told her I saw it with my own eyes. She is a clueless Liberartian who thinks the riots did nto happen until DC one last night. I refuse to accept her texts, she is hopeless. I am completely disgusted, part of me thinking these idiot voters and tose who did nto see this coming deserve what they get, we are old, we will not see the full brunt of it, but it is sickening. No capitalism, so self responsibility, no sceintific truth, just Commie Harris and fascism.

There is absolutely no difference between democrats and republicans except for the letter D or R after their name. I switched to I back in 2015 because I hated the thought of being associated with either party. It made no difference at all if the republicans kept the majority in the Senate because we still have the RINOs like Romney, Murkowski and Collins plus a bunch more who would fold like a lawn chair.

Ben_C your remarks are on the button. I did not say "money" because there is no money at this point. My own plan for the future is to toss out any unessentials I have left (not many, as I've been sorting and tossing for quite a while now. I still have too much stuff). I am nearly debt free, except for a small mortgage, I still have a few minor items to aquire, I am going Gulch in place. I fear for my grandkids, my kids will fight for them until they are no longer able to fight. I am very proud to call them my children. Some say i'm giving up, but I call it"entering survival mode". Maybe we'll all meet on the other side of the coup, but I won't hold my breath. Meanwhile. I'll read and post until they shut us down.

I'm feeling the same way. Maybe I'll get over it. Maybe not.

Corporate media is entirely responsible for the state of this Republic. They have chosen a side and are very good at hiding information that a large percentage of Americans are too lazy to ask questions about, or trumpeting the communist talking points that provide cover for the rampant corruption in congress. It is my belief they are the ones to focus on, they are using advertising dollars and a myriad of other large corporations they own to attack this Nation. We can do something about that. Remember when the NFL, NBA, etc began their kneeling/ blm tactics? It did not take long for a nationwide boycott to spring up that impacted them very quickly, media is no different, choke off the funding and a very clear message is delivered. It will require organization, and the will to act locally. Boycotts are ugly... they also are very effective. Media must be attacked economically, we cannot make them act differently, but we can damn sure stop rewarding them for it with our money. We will be putting together a public page listing local / national media owned companies and local / national advertisers, along with contact info. Pissed off? Need a project? They provide cover for corrupt politicians and communists, we crimp their wallet and maybe they let a little sunshine out. What, exactly do we have to lose?

Our Republic is kaput. How can Trump come back in four years when Democrats can now get away with rigging elections--I suppose for freaking forever?!
Glad I'm 73. I shall live out what time I have left ignoring if not passively resisting those traitors who would be our Marxist masters as best as I can.
BTW, Pence, McConnell and the rest of those crooked RINO cowards who betrayed us can all go to hell.

It's NOT OVER!!! I - If they told us the truth, then the bad guys would know. What's really going on isn't being spoken about in the majority of alt media and we already know that mainstream sold their souls a long time ago. The bad guys always keep moving forward, but know that they're being shadowed and nothing is what it seems to be.

My FB Polish-Jewish-Buddhist friend in England posted an very interesting article by one of Hannah Arendt's (German Jew) followers On her experience at the Nuremberg Trial of A. Eichmann Banality of Evil in the Time of Covid. Link to article: https://www.newstatesman.com/science-......

I no longer think this country is worth my allegiance any more. This "election" did it for me. I think the 74 million who voted and were not represented should protest and present reasonable demands that Biden should have to live with.
1) Leave Trumps Immigration policies in place
2) No new taxes or elimination of Trump's tax cuts
3) No new regulations or elimination of Trump's regulation cuts.
4) No national lockdowns
5) No mail in ballots
6) No voting without picture ID

If The politicians wont at least NOT do these things, there will be hell to pay in the future
