Strangers in Our Own Homeland
This is the finest article (no idea who wrote it) I have received and read, with regard to America's current dilemma, situation, nightmare, whichever word one chooses to use. Nightmare works for me........
Growing old in an unrecognizable country.
Those of us who are part of the Baby Boom generation, now in our 60s
and 70s, no longer recognize the nation in which we grew up. We are
strangers in a land that gets stranger by the day. We believed in the
American dream. We worked hard, paid our taxes and obeyed the law -
even laws we thought were idiotic.
We married and had children. We struggled to raise families. Some of
us went to war, like our fathers and grandfathers before us. We
thought that when we grew old, there would be more for us – more than
alienation.

I remember growing in a home where both my parents thought it silly to lock the front door.
I remember playing "night games" with half the neighborhood after dark - and not a parent worried a bit.
I remember seeing the high school kids (older than me) with gun racks (locked and loaded) in their trucks heading off to school.
I remember a time when I was proud to be an Eagle Scout and affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America. (I still hold that Baden Powell's original vision benefitted millions of people worldwide beyond those who participated in the organization.)
I remember a time when I didn't have to worry about the adults around me looking at me like an object, but rather a cared-for future citizen.
I remember being able to fill my tank for under $10.00. (My dad remembers a time he could do it for a quarter of that.)
I remember a time when libraries filtered their book contents to those things which were wholesome and uplifting.
I remember a time when I watched cartoons which expressed morals - explicitly - in every episode.
I remember a time when Disney was still a family experience.
I remember when I didn't have to eye law enforcement askance.
So sad that those times are gone.
Reading Edward Rutherford's "Sarum" and "Russka", I realize that nobody, even Ayn Rand, is or was prescient. She simply wrote books that related things that had already transpired, in another time. Since history repeats itself, her books were bound to come true, in one way or another.
It sucks, but it's all we have...
Today, as predicted, true conservatives, true objectivists, and true libertarians are being
reviled and censored, while CINO's, fake objectivists, and LINO's are praised for their
compromise of ethical principles "for the common good" (aka evil.)
alien nation. Late war baby, early boomer (1944 b d)
Me dino can be called a racist for not believing men can get pregnant.
If that's not insane then I don't know what is.
To complain is a big no-no to the woke sad joke screwheads who run things.
Worth the read.

Blaming any one generation is doing just what the Deep State wants.
To divide those who should recognize that the problem is corrupt, unconstitutional
government, not innocent individuals.
The con wasn't obvious because the pro-America propaganda was so good.
Public schools used the WW2 victory and ensuing economic boom to distract
attention away from the corruption in DC (and the spread of corruption into
every corner of American life.)
People should have awakened about 30 years ago.
imo, that is when the con was becoming too obvious to ignore.
I know that my friends ("boomers") have been spreading the truth at least that long.
imo, "boomers" never had any voice in the federal government.
But they never realized that was the case, and the media drowned out
anyone who tried to spread the truth as a 'conspiracy nut.'
If any generation should be blamed (and I don't think any should be)
it would be the so-called "greatest generation." Members of that generation
held the reins in DC from the end of WW2 until the end of the 20th century
- and one sits in the office controlling (arguably) the current administration.
The fact is that the federal government has been controlled by the banking
cartel since 1913. The American People have been conned for 109 years
and every generation bought it.
No living member of any generation had a hand in that.
Most were taken in by its well designed propaganda cover-up.
The truth told by so-called "conspiracy theorists" have been ignored
by every generation. Every generation ignores history and goes to
the polls, thinking that their vote counts.
Now THAT is conspiracy FACT.
Every living American now has a choice, however.
Freedom and responsibility or the false security of slavery.
Choose liberty and I praise you as an American patriot.
Choose false security and prepare to be hung as a traitor or starve as a slave.
Can you hide your cryptos under the mattress?
I'm currently reading "Return of the Gods" by Jonathan Cahn, it's very interesting I just don't know if the premise of the book is plausible. The events that are happening every day around the country and in DC make one wonder if such supernatural evil is exerting an influence on people. I watched a Glenn Beck YouTube video about a report:https://ussanews.com/2022/09/28/us-ur...
which sounds like a current maritime convoy action taking place. What the hell is going on/
