The saddest part is we allowed this to happen here even allowed a generation or two to be led to thinking its well and good despite the safeguards built into the constitution to prevent it.
I think the next Great Depression is already in the works, I think there is nothing we can do to stop their plan. They have disrupted food and fuel supplies to such an extent that we will have a crisis with feeding everyone. Business will go out of business and families will suffer.
I think our response is to declare the dollar dead and to have a debt jubilee, convert any wealth you have now to tangible assets. When the government comes for you because of non-compliance or to evict you, the network responds, in force in necessary.
I’ve played their game and I don’t like it, now they can play our game.
Government can't rule unless we consent to be ruled.
I do like the idea of a secure way to communicate and organize. Too much of what we are feed through the news media and tech has been groomed to control us, all of us…
no matter if the dems loose Congress in a few months
they ARE ALWAYS out there, waiting to lie/buy their way back to power
and look at the RINO traitors
i do not know the full solution, but we need REAL term limits, no more than a certain number of terms in office and all money left over given to pay down the national debt the politicians caused to grow
this started a long time ago, with allowing the vote for those with nothing to loose, allowing welfare parasites to vote more welfare
LBJ's Great Society was also a major cause, it is 100% unconstitutional, but no one cares, no one now wants to give up their medicare/medicaid for eample
EBT? Yes. All those other entitlements, Yes. Medicare, No.
Not to mention that the system is set up to provide "welfare" to lawyers. My bro-in-law is a wealthy SS lawyer. Seriously. All he does is help clients who have been denied SS disability that they should have been accepted - with back pay. And his settlement fees come straight out of taxpayer pockets. It's a huge racket since the government pretty much encourages these kinds of legal appeals (my bro-in-law hasn't ever had a claim denied).
The other major problem is that government is involved in the first place. Full stop. If you have government involved in handing out money to people, it IS an entitlement program. The Federal Government shouldn't be involved in healthcare, retirement planning, income taxes, unemployment, Food Stamps, WIC, etc. They are all entitlement programs that James Madison as President specifically vetoed claiming that it was a danger to our system of government. He was 100% right.
Social Security and Medicare could be rightly called 'entitlements'. I paid into them (actually was FORCED to pay into them) and therefore I am entitled to the benefits from those programs.
Welfare and Medicaid (as well as EBT and I'm sure several others) are NOT entitlements. The beneficiaries have done nothing to earn any benefit from these programs. They are government sponsored give-aways. I suggest the term "Moocher Payment" for these programs. /rant off
All I know is that's the outcome our Puppet-In-Chief''s Marxist handlers and obliging vile globalist greedy creatures of The Swamp are gunning for.
The only Utopia we're to then be disarmed and led by the nose to will be where only the pigs on top are more than equal like in George Orwell's Animal Farm.
That will be kinda like the two-tiered justice system the corrupted DOJ already runs.
The senseless war in Ukraine may also play a part in the next series of phony emergencies.
And when it's over, there must be another set of Nuremberg Trials.
IF the Republicans take the House and Senate.
IF the Republicans grow backbones and really investigate Dimocrat corruption.
Maybe we can tread water until 2024.
"The Walrus and the Carpenter
Lewis Carroll - 1832-1898
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright—
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done—
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead—
There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
"0 Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said;
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head—
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat—
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more and more and more—
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."
"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed—
Now, if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said,
"Do you admire the view?
"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice.
I wish you were not quite so deaf—
I've had to ask you twice!"
"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick.
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"
"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
"0 Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?"
But answer came there none—
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
This poem is in the public domain."
As to foreign affairs, I think that no matter what happens, biden will encourage russia and china to invade what they want, leading us closer to ww3 which might end it all.
I do think that biden will retire to "be with his family:, if the repubs win in november, as biden's role will be exhausted at that point. We will get Kackling Kamila and she will be a total lame duck unto 2024- wont sign anything repubs pass, and gridlock will rule (not so bad actually).
