    Solzhenitsyn's comment is why we must never lose the Second Amendment.

      Yes 2A is critical, but we don't want it to get that far. I'd rather we stopped this garbage without weapons.The right needs to learn a lesson from the left about organized protest, but somehow prevent violence when the police show up, and when the left show up, and most especially when the agitators show up. The agitators are people who go to anyone's protest just to start a war. They don't care about anyone's cause they just want war.

        Unfortunately, the Media Wins.
        I've seen first hand HUGE protests, with the Tea Party. The MSM effectively made them into a terrorist group. Too hot to touch.

        Never covered the rallies. There were tax day rallies, not even a mention in the newspaper the day after.

        BLM figured it out. you got to go hard. Break things.

        Like Jan 6th...

        Oh, but methinks the two groups were treated WILDLY differently.

        Unfortunately, the Courts, and our Elected Officials are giving us NO OTHER OPTION.

          One day as we were driving by a Tea Party rally in progress, we noticed a newsy interviewing one of the participants. Over 1,000 people were there, calm and cleaning up the grounds as they listened to speeches, while a pair in costume hung around the tv camera. Later that night we tuned in to see the interview. No mention of the number of attendees, no shots of the peaceful crowd, only a shot of the empty part of the field with two costumed figures in the background. Nothing like an honest media we can trust...

            Thanks fo the story Katrinam41 It is so frustrating but the press is the enemy of the people and they will pay a heavy price for their collusion with the traitors.

          I see your point. But should one really resort to violence? Did BLM accomplish anything?

            Lets see. Ford and MOST big Companies are now pushing DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity).

            I know quite a few people who will retire this year, after this push.

            So, YES, BLM was successful in scaring people, and showing the UNEVEN Justice (InJustice) system we have. Where "Protests Don't have to be Peaceful", and burning and looting = "Mostly Peaceful"...

            And ONE incident, with CLEAR Agent Provocateurs on the other side is an INSURRECTION...

    Two heartwarming stories out today (24-Mar) >China & Russia have both issued arrest warrants for Soros. (Dead or alive, I hope)

    > Trump is suing Hillary and most of her campaign committee (i.e. Podesta Bros.) , FBI hacks Colmes, Strzok, et. el. British Intelligent hack Steele and numerous third party dirtbags (GPS Fusion, Perkins Cove...)

    Discovery is going to be Epic!

    Impressive collection of thoughtful and sometimes humorous truth. The Solzhenitsyn meme makes me want to reread the the two Gulag Archipelago books.

    The Home Depot privilege paper is BS and creepy. I figure if anyone protested, they'd get fired. I'll be shopping a lot less at HD.

    The UN list is a good formula for returning to pure tribalism where people with short life spans starve and nothing works.

      Sir that is the Agenda 2030 objectives that Klaus Schwab and his WEF. The World Economic Forum , the Davos Switzerland cult of Billionaires, that in reality it is a huge family reunion of the blood related puppet masters. They see us as feeders as sheep we mean absolutely nothing to them EXCEPT as a threat. Major Depopulation that is intentionally currently underway with the Jab . BTW the FDA is now reviewing the fifth and sixth booster. The young global leadership grooming by the WEF has brought us such leaders as Macron ,
      Castrudeau, Dan Crenshaw The fuQing RINO , Tulsi Gabbard , Boreasshole Johnson , the NZealand tyrant and the Aussie as well.
      The NWO a conspiracy theory that’s now a conspiracy fact. You did read about a fair bit of it from Carlos Viganno’s letter to US. I think.

      On the Home Depot woke sheet: I'm White, male and christian. After growing up in a inner city housing project, raised by my one parent, I can tell you all about privilege. A) Start with nothing. B) Work your @$$ of to better your life. instead of blaming everyone and everything for your circumstances. C) if you really want to go places, try school. It's not for everyone, but it worked for me. Even UPS pays their workers for college.

    Great Ones! Blazing Saddles is an awesome movie, that could never be done today!

    I want that privilege paper!

    I don't get a few of these. Who is the bearded guy re Stalin, and what the hell is he trying to say?

      You're not familiar with Solzhenitsyn? An instant primer you should add to your reading list is "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." Or just see the film. If you're ambitious there's his massive "Gulag Archipelago," also "The First Circle," "Cancer Ward" and many others. Solzhenitsyn was a survivor of Stalin's glorious socialist torture and his glorious socialist Gulags, and wrote extensively on the nature of socialism - for which he was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature. He was also an outspoken critic of America and the Western world's deterioration who gave talks all over the world on the subject. We ignore his advice at our peril.

        Thanks, yes I recall him now, just couldn't from the pic. I wasn't reading newspapers in 1970 ;)

        Completely agree, we ignore the advice of these people, who lived through totalitarianism, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pol, Putin... and the new hopefuls: Gates, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, et al.

          A couple others I would recommend highly are Anchee Min, who wrote "Red Azalea" and "The Crooked Seed," (about her "life" and deliverance from the CCP, and to her struggle to adapt to American freedom, respectively,) and "The Girl With Seven Names" by Hyeonseo Lee (a refugee from North Korea.)

          Another notable North Korean escapee is Yeonmi Park, whose "In Order To Live" is in the Kindle queue but which I haven't yet read.

              Yes striking! I found this on wiki wiki wiki
              Park considers Kim Jong-un to be a cruel leader for continuing the abuse of his people. She has said that "He is a criminal. He is killing people there. After he got the power, he killed 80 people in one day for watching a movie or reading the Bible. This young man is so cruel. He ordered that people who attempt escape should be shot [sic]."[38]

              Political views
              Park described her education at Columbia University as "brainwashing", citing examples such as lessons regarding gender-neutral pronouns.[39][40] She then said on Fox Business that "our education system is brainwashing our children to make them think that this country is racist and make them believe that they are victims. It’s time for us to fight back. Otherwise, it might be too late for us to bring the glory of this country back."

              Park has criticized political correctness in the United States, saying, "They are forcing you [Americans] to think the way they want you to think. I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying," and adding that "America is not free".

              That she is. A few years back I'd seen videos of her delivering speeches about her experiences, but hadn't realized that she'd written a book. In the Amazon "Similar" recommendations are more, "A Thousand Miles to Freedom" by Eunsun Kim and "Dear Leader" by Jang Jin-sun, and many others on the side-scroll. Having read a couple already there's a conflict of wanting to support these people by buying and reading their books vs. the expense and time required. But the particular details of these people's journeys to freedom are usually worth the trip, so... I have some reading ahead of me too.

        It took me but a short moment to save that image for reposting here. My wife and I have had that very serious discussion as the true nature of these wanna be overlords and their blatant attacks against the freedom loving patriots increases. We have both vowed to die on our feet rather than live on our knees. Thank you for the info on Solzhenitsyn .

    I generally step back from memes, articles and the like that are steeped in what philosopher David Kelley once termed "contemplating the awfulness of the enemy" - because too far down that road lies defeatism. IOW, though it's important to remain cognizant of the evil of the enemy, it is far more important to brainstorm, constantly, ideas for pushing back and for advancing the right causes.

    That having been said, yeah, Solzhenitsyn's words are always gold. And no, we haven't gotten to the point where we have to do armed resistance and hopefully never will. But his advice is no less valuable if we step back from the concrete of literal armed resistance and apply that admonition to resistance in general.

    The Wuhan debacle and the Fed/State/Local governments' Bill-of-Rights-shred and power-grabs which arose in its wake are a perfect example. Though we had a Republican President who not only did not lift a finger to prevent that power-grab but actually aided and abetted it; and though millions in American society were - and remain - docile, sheeplike True Believers in the "pandemic that didn't pan" (see the film "Planet Lockdown" if you haven't already,) we can take a valuable lesson in noting the way our constant opposition to these exaggerations, lies and gunpoint impositions worked to overturn most of them. Yes, it was far too little and took far too long, and yes there is a massive amount of work remaining in eradicating every last vestige of ClowPiv-mania from government and society alike, but we have indeed made progress through our opposition.

    On the "brainstorming" thing: I've suggested - and will continue to float the idea - that Congressional Republicans (and our next Republican President,) author a new Constitutional Amendment which bars unequivocally any violation of any part of the Constitution for reasons of "national health emergency" or "national environmental emergency" or "national emergency" of any kind. No, it may never get off the ground and may not pass legal muster as I've presented it (I'm not a Constitutional expert,) but politics is a pendulum-swing or tug-of-war: You may not achieve your goal even in part, but in putting it on the table you will have pulled the whole context of debate in your direction. And there is value in that. A tangent, but an instructive one. Remember that our collectivist opposition are hatching, on virtually a daily basis, scores of aggressive lunacies (see that sheet ^ from Home Depot for some prime examples.) We should be doing the same aggressive brainstorming in favor of reason, individualism, self-sovereignty and self-determination, capitalism, liberty, peace through strength, on a constant basis, with the goal of getting such measures passed, and more after that, and more after that. Our governments - at all levels - have become vast, bloated, slobbering, freedom-crushing pigs and our job is to both put them on The Mother Of All Crash Diets and to lock them in an industrial-strength cage. And we have reality, logic, morality, practicality and history on our side. They do not.

    Another point that's perhaps nit-picky but no less important to strategy is that the people who create these memes should take a breather once they think they've finished, and do some basic proofreading. Nothing turns what's supposed to be a hard-hitting, persuasive meme into a self-refuting embarrassment faster than bonehead-stupid misspellings, grammar gaffes and amateurish design. I'm spotting three in the Agenda 21 panel alone. Folks, run these through a spell-checker before you post them. And after you've done the spell-check, do a proofread - or three. Because a spell-checker, though it will tell you that "vaccine" has a final "e" and that "immigration" has a double "m" and only one "n," will not correct misplaced homonyms, like if you typed "hole" when you meant "whole," etc. (And "5G" is a time-specific thing that's already on the verge of obsolescence via 6G - 'should be altered to a non-specific formulation.) But bottom line: if you're trying to make a persuasive, intelligent political meme that's riddled with idiotic spelling and grammatical mistakes, you have shot yourself in the foot with an elephant gun and actually done a disservice to the cause.

      Your scholarly critique is well taken and understood. From my point of view. I have a full time job and a fuller relationship with my wife and family. I DO NOT CREATE THE MEMES. I simply
      See them at other areas of the web and if they strike me as interesting or point out in a quick message a truth I might save the image and post them for the Gulchers to see.
      If you knew me you would know I am an uneducated student of life. Most of what I know,
      has been self learned. I do research as a tool for survival both in my professional and personal life.
      I have admitted to be a very poor student of the discipline in school called English. Amongst other values that I receive from participating in the Gulch , is that I am forced to try to communicate in written word. A form of discourse that I wanted to improve at. Quite frankly the last paragraph of your excellent message is exactly why I sucked in
      School. I really could not give a FuQ if spelling errors or proof reading or idiotic grammatical
      Mistakes are here or there. That’s certainly good advice and something I would be more careful about if I was coming up with these memes myself.
      I do however agree that an increase in memes promoting reason, logic and rationality that contrast the nihilistic lefts insanity is absolutely needed. That could be a wonderful post to have all you wonderful objectivists minds , think about a message or objectivist truth that could be conveyed.
      The Brainstorming paragraph was filled with great ideas. We have to fight back against the SLGPC If we are going to live in a true Constitutional Republic.
      Thanks, Drive Train.

        Dobrien, a thousand apologies - I did not mean this to be taken as a criticism of you or your posting these here. I think like everyone in Gulch-land I'm glad to see them, warts and all. But I assume it's generally understood that the people who create them are completely unrelated to those who post them.

        My comments on this - an old,old peeve of mine - are always meant as a general shout-out to, yes, anyone who might be creating memes, not to those posting them. To have failed to point that out clearly right off the bat was my fault entirely. It's only when they're posted at places (like Faceplant) where they'll be seen by people of all ideological stripes that errors become a significant downside anyway. They are always a good thing, warts or no, when they're on a forum of like-minded people like the Gulch. I, like probably everybody here, am glad to see them regardless. Again, my apologies. Sometimes a post reads entirely different than it's intended while writing it. I hereby owe you beer.

          It would be a tremendous day , the day I could share a beverage and conversation in person with you. If ever in The Twin Cities a warm meal awaits you here. I thank you for your kind reply. In reading it I find we are of like mind regarding the meme posting on this board. My efforts are to avail the short but powerful messages for the Gulchers to use in red pilling the opposition (Who are actually in a lot of cases just unaware of reality) through brainwashing , propaganda and censoring truth. Lol ,I will be a bit more careful in the future selections ,nonetheless.

      We can thank Dink Chaney and drug salesman Rumsfeld for reinventing Continuity of Government (CoG) to mean that anything and everything can and will be conflated to constitute an "Emergency" and all the power that can be unconstitutionally wrested from "We The People"
      Bush-the-Stupid (BtS) was a hack/sock-puppet pResident. Chaney ran that regime for Bush 41 (read: CIA).
      9/11 was an OP to make CoG emergency powers permanent.
      The (Un)Patriot Act, Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

      Read Judy Wood's Where Did The Towers Go?
      You think your mad now? Wait till you read this 500 page scientific examination of the evidence.
      She states unequivocally: she offers no opinion or conclusions. Just the facts. These facts will scare you right down to the marrow of your soul.

    Great bunch of hard truth there, Dobrien. Gaslight was a solid punch, so true, with so many afraid to rock the pool for fear of being hounded then canceled. Kenosha is just a foretaste of what's in store or what's left of the store. Two thumbs up.
