News flash. Self serving authoritarians act to deceive when it suits them, which is most always, and censor those who try to shine a light on their deceitful narratives. We should never believe anything they say is earnest or legitimate. They are among the most self centered, and obviously power lusting, people in any society. They clearly aren't mentally healthy.
Agreed. It's not trump that turned my head, it was them and their reaction that did that. Obsessively cleaving to narratives like the "1930s Redux" one have become impenetrable walls. Ya honest thoughts on this article at The TransAtlantic? (make sure you read to the end)....
The Nazis are of course just an example many are familiar with. To gain a comprehensive historical understanding of the process of societal subjugation try to find an example where government institutions weren't turned into political weapons. Of course other symptoms of tyranny are consistently evident as well (e.g. state control of media/censorship/propaganda). None of this is rocket science. Political labels and nonsense ideological rhetoric may differ but the fundamental toxic process repeats consistently through human history. The American people trusted that the Constitution would protect them but it is now clearly failing.
the Constitution is Ink on Parchment is inanimate, it can neither fail or succeed. Guns likewise do not kill or murder people, or protect people; People do.

People with the Will to Be Free, Will Be Free. It may, and usually comes with a high cost. "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!" Patrick Henry
historically recurrent structures or dynamics of elite control indeed there are, but of course that just means we have to identify time and again the narratives they use to effect their control. This time its this "1930s Redux", "democracy is on the Ballot", "fascist militia takeover" narrative, and it needs exposing as part of any pushback.
I for one never find it difficult to identify their simple minded, self serving nonsense rhetoric for what it is. And I wouldn't call them "elites". They are sociopaths/megalomaniacs/pathological narcissists...take your pick (not mentally well). They are like mold spores; some are always floating around out there waiting for conditions in which they can fester while destroying human society and innocent lives.
Frustrating as it is, reports don't lead to prosecutions, but it can serve to expose the machinations to third parties and the nonaligned, potentially with longer term effects. Its a drawn out process of disillusioning people with the establishment and its presentations
Every day is Opposite Day in Lefty Land. I mean this literally. If a Lefty is telling you something as he or she stands behind a microphone, the truth is diametrically opposed.
As with past authoritarian subjugations of once free societies (e.g. Nazis) DC's institutions are being turned into political weapons used to terrorize Americans who wish to remain free. Let's stop pretending there is a legitimate Federal "justice system" anymore. The future Americans face is now very, very ugly. DC's self serving authoritarianism is likely to grow progressively more extreme from here.
Trump’s legacy when all is said and done will be exposing how “deep” the corruption is and by the time this election cycle is done the Republican Party will be in tatters.
He never mandated the vaxx. He had to deal with Fauci et.al. He attempted to put known remedies out there for use. He is the least medically astute person ever. The man has never been sick. He's likely never looked up anything on webmd. He didn't Warp Speed anything. It was ready and waiting in the wings. Then they stole the election, and put a nail in the coffin of jhstice.
If you can find someone perfect to run our country, that would be awesome. Until then Trump has learned a lot, he's matured some. He's always going have that big ego, but at least he got things done. He'll know where the bodies are, and has finally put some patriots around him. He was surrounded by traitors the first go, and he accomplished much in spite of them blocking his moves.
There's not a true patriot running, besides Trump, on the GOP ticket. The Democrats will never let RFK Jr get on a ticket.
He might well have been convinced that he was "saving humanity," an outcome that would have appealed to his inflated ego. Imagine how he would be viewed by the whole world if the vaxx had, in fact, been a good thing. Was he duped, or did he know in his heart that he was doing the wrong thing? Either way, we must remind everyone that he owns it, lock, stock and barrel.
Just Asking, Omissions can be indicators of Camoflaged Comrades. As a RC you sure got problems with your ProgreSSive Popus, any Nuremberg for him? Just Asking........
The American people (us), by and large, are also the problem. We have allowed this to happen because we allowed ourselves to live more or less according to the principle of hedonistic calculation for decades. We did what seemed most pleasant to us most of the time, and even allowed institutions that should have been opposed to this principle (the churches, e.g.) to play right along with it. Life for us is essentially work and entertainment, with the expectation that work can itself be a form of entertainment. There is no will to resist a regime like the one we have when we the people live like this.
You make a good point. However at some point, once they've been pushed too far, I suspect the great majority of Americans will act to preserve their liberty. Tragically absent valid elections I don't see any peaceful way to solve the problem, which is why I'm now working toward leaving. But most Americans don't have a realistic option of leaving.
Leaving is certainly an option for some, but Not for me though, lower resources of $, and also heritage as a Southerner, unReconstructed Confederate. A dirty Clinging "Deplorable in JawGA still cussing that Feral Gov Sherman.
It’s true to a great extent. But there is something else afoot here. A lot of what our institutions do is cloaked in legalese that nobody sees and the MSM doesn’t report. The press failed the country because they should have been shining a spotlight on a lot of bad behavior. But they were bought up by large corporations who turned the media into tools for their own economic agenda. Similarly the regulatory apparatus has been captured by the biggest corporations, the revolving door as it were. Most Americans had no idea what was going on. Some because it wasn’t reported, and some because they are apathetic. We pay a lot of money for government services in this country. We pay a lot of money to enforce laws. But who stops the government when it goes rogue? That’s where we are now. We’ve been ripped off. You can say it’s our fault, and you’re partly correct, but it’s more complicated than that.
DC exists due to the voting behavior of the American people. So the American people are the problem. They were crafted to be ignorant Socialists by a deliberately destroyed educational system. But it's their voting patterns that created this monster.
You ain't alone, many in the G20 countries feel the same about their country and government. There is much discontent and plenty of groups around but they are disorganised, infiltrated and being subverted by other actors and lack the skills and knowledge and will they need to actually succeed at this point. Unfortunately, as they say, many have to suffer before they wake up to the reality of freedom lost and find the will to take it back. The people of China being the exception to that, so far gone and the state has become too powerful so they accept their lot in life. Unfortunately, most of our populations are becoming the same as the citizens of China.
The posturing, preening pretension is still there, it is just getting sad and pathetic. I was listening to CBC earlier today to some 'expert' that this is the strongest case ever and the greatest crime ever committed by a US president ever and I was thinking that he may actually believe his own bullshit. You should never underestimate the power of righteous delusions.
But your point was very well made. Nothing can be taken seriously any more.
I'm still holding onto my faith but the fact that they actually got away with stealing the election, and raping and pillaging our country, absolutely scares the 💩💩 out of me.
Especially after the pandemic psyop attack and the poison shots.
Jordan—a short article but one of your best. It is precisely on target. Bankers, too, do not go to jail. Why? Because they raise capital for the Uniparty funding schemes. It is one big happy family that allows zero dissenters. Mr. Trump has faults, as we all do, but his most prominent is his naivety about how government works. He truly believed if he were president, he would run the country. He did not understand his place in what our government has become.
Yeah, the first 100 days were a dud and his appointments were misguided and poor. I suspect you might get something from this article in the TransAtlantic. If you have some thoughts, I'd like to hear…
If speaking of 45...IMO his greatest shortcoming was that he was naive as to the depth of the duplicity and evil there is in DC. How rotten to the core many are, even those who were supposed to support and help a POTUS from their party. It took him a while but I think he gets it now and would choose appointments WITHOUT the help of the establishment Rs. I suspect he has already decided whom he will want, whom he can trust and will be ready to clean house around 12:01 pm 1/20/2025.
As a concerned individual, I am troubled by the lack of action from the freedom movement in addressing the widespread chaos happening globally. Despite ample evidence of misdeeds and disruptions caused by the global elite, they remain unaccountable. One such individual is Bill Gates, who openly expressed his desire to reduce the population, and his vaccination programs have caused immeasurable harm to countless people. It is alarming that these individuals still roam free and their actions are causing loss of life.
Speaking of lying their way into wars: some recent articles mentioned Trump and a war plan authored by Mattis to invade Iran. Think of what that means. They were so desperate to get rid of Trump. An unpopular invasion would be a perfect way to permanently tarnish his reputation so they tried to push him into one. We saw the same thing with the faked chemical attacks in Syria.
People like Mattis were willing to push young American military personnel into the meat grinder just to tarnish the reputation of President Trump and create profit for their allied industries. I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise because they were willing to cull the herd with injections, but somehow I still find shocking so cavalier an attitude about sacrificing US military personnel for such petty reasons.
Bush invaded Iraq in order to win re-election in 2004. The economy was weak and his approval would always go down when he didn’t distract with some foreign policy event.
Bush could get away with invasions only because of 9/11 aka Global War on Terrorism and even so his popularity declined dramatically as the conflict dragged on. An unprovoked war or one based on the premise of 'because nukes' would have utterly tanked any president's reputation.
At any rate it couldn't have been just for ratings. Gen. Wesley Clark says he was told there was a plan to invade seven countries in five years and he says this was in the works from a few weeks after 9/11. Fortunately, Iraq went so poorly that it seems they forestalled the direct invasions in favor of things like what happened in Libya and Syria (both on the list btw). And it was going to wrap up with Iran, which they were pushing in front of Trump with a Mattis hand-crafted plan.
Wow! Bush was wholly unfit to be president and on some level he was a victim of the right wing echo chamber that really caught everyone off guard at the beginning of this century. So Bush had an over 80% approval rating after 9/11 and he could have been in a coma and everything would have gone exactly the same. The 80% approval rating went to his head and he went crazy with power.
Btw, the more I think about his father’s Gulf War the more I think that was wrong to send American ground troops to settle a border dispute in the Middle East obviously with the overarching issue the global oil market stability. I think most Republicans would oppose the Gulf War today.
I still can't for the life of me understand what they were willing to sacrifice military personal for in Vietnam, Korea or Afghanistan. Especially since they were willing to arm the Taliban with weapons a lot of us would give the family jewels up to posses!
The saddest part truly is they just don't even try to hide it anymore. They are in charge, you aren't. They made it abundantly clear during the pandemic, "You really don't have the rights and freedoms you thought you did, silly people." I love all the natural beauty of America, I despise the people running it.
What it means is that the DC Swamp, RINOs and many republicans do not like Trump. They see him as a major threat to their cushy world of unmitigated corruption, fraud, theft and skullduggery.
Like in any "shithole" or any "banana-republic" - pure lies & pure despotism have replaced reason, truth & ethics - all replaced now by ORGANIZED CRIME.
.
So the countdown of the United States from a once shining beacon of hope for mankind, to it's demise from the leading empire to a lost place has begun - as trust & understanding have been undermined & replaced by treason, murder & secrecy of the rotten & heartless criminals in power - as only the sophisticated camouflage of their crimes keeps them clinging to their highly paid posts.
Very useful way to keep everyone in line, just like with Twitter, if they can do it to him, rich, powerful, famous, they can do it to Joe Blow and Jane Shmane.
The march toward fascism began in earnest with George W Bush. It was obvious to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of history and courage enough to look honestly at 9/11, as blowback from American foreign policy, that this was the intended destination for the likes of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Kristol, Rand Corporation and their ilk.
This opinion article by Naomi Wolf was printed in the Guardian in 2007, back when the Guardian still had a semblance of journalistic integrity.
“”The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands ... is the definition of tyranny," wrote James Madison. We still have the choice to stop going down this road; we can stand our ground and fight for our nation, and take up the banner the founders asked us to carry.
· Naomi Wolf's The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot will be published by Chelsea Green in September.”
Bingo…and Trump made multiple mistakes early on by taking the advice from Bush Republicans including escalating Afghanistan and appointing Tillerson as SoS. Trump finally wised up and started appointing people loyal to him but the damage was done as Trump’s own appointee appointed Mueller…wtf??
"9/11, as blowback from American foreign policy":??????? Seriously? That is not true. 911 was used to CREATE a much more destructive foreign policy than had previously existed. As well as used as an excuse to start reigning in more of OUR liberties with the Patriot Act and other government privacy over reach. It was an INSIDE JOB that is easily understood through the mountains of evidence available. Try AE911truth.org for starters. At this late hour of the game I find it almost laughable that anyone would consider the "official" version of 911 to be anything other than total bullshit.
Bush “won” the presidency because of name identification and he was wholly unfit to be president….much like Trump! The difference between Bush and Trump is the Republican establishment attempted to undermine Trump from day 1 while the Republican establishment was Bush’s lapdog giving him whatever he wanted. And then the mainstream media was blindsided by the right wing echo chamber that gave Bush a lot of power via an 80% approval rating.
I know that the photo of HRC (in the tweet from your article) is the one genuinely posted by HRC's team on twitter, but it's clearly photoshopped. No way she looks that thin today, not to mention that her eyes are kind instead of the usual satanic hard stare.
"We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone."
I'll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile, I'm not buying any more bridges.

It was an INSIDE JOB that is easily understood through the mountains of evidence available. Try AE911truth.org for starters. At this late hour of the game I find it almost laughable that anyone would consider the "official" version of 911 to be anything other than total bullshit.

Bush “won” the presidency because of name identification and he was wholly unfit to be president….much like Trump! The difference between Bush and Trump is the Republican establishment attempted to undermine Trump from day 1 while the Republican establishment was Bush’s lapdog giving him whatever he wanted. And then the mainstream media was blindsided by the right wing echo chamber that gave Bush a lot of power via an 80% approval rating.
I know that the photo of HRC (in the tweet from your article) is the one genuinely posted by HRC's team on twitter, but it's clearly photoshopped. No way she looks that thin today, not to mention that her eyes are kind instead of the usual satanic hard stare.
