Wow. We are dealing with nuclear grade stupidity.

Voting for Kamalabama after 4 years of Bidenobama is like crapping your pants and changing your shirt.

Childish, irrational, unthinking, trapped. Probably all of the above. But, I think the persuadable portion are coming around. With all the lies and assaults on freedom and logic, the ruling class has finally made the "shy Trump voter" a real thing.

For the past 20-30 years or so, the left has managed to convince the mushy, persuadable go-along-to-get-along types (think: almost every white collar professional) that words are violence. They've even been told this at work, and many of them have been told by employers that saying you are a Trump supporter does violence to coworkers.

It's the opposite of what most of us were taught as kids ("sticks and stones may break my bones...") and incompatible with the Constitution. But, it's worked and it's made liberalism and voting (D) the default option for about 1/4 to 1/3 of the country. They do so b/c it's the "safe" option, to fit in with friends and coworkers, and not be shunned or fired. I even saw this during the W years, so it pre-dates Trump.

However, I really believe we're at a tipping point. All of the recent left/liberal types coming out for Trump + the elite liberals' lies about everything slowly being exposed has shifted something in that mushy group who have defaulted to liberalism as the "safe" option. "Liberal" or "Democrat" is becoming the weird and unsafe option.

But, for now they're still trapped in the "words are violence" BS that they've been brainwashed to believe. And they still believe it would harm their friends and coworkers to say Trump isn't so bad. Once that barrier falls, it's over.

Well put. Again, my favorite new saying from Joe Rogan. "The hardest thing you have ever done is the hardest thing you have ever done". Pansies, pussies, snowflakes, and cowards. None of whom ever had to wonder where their next meal was coming from, or who sacrificed what for them to have led such a coddled life.

Vicki's avatar

You are so right. There is an emotional tone level where people take words as real force, literally,. This is shown in the book Self Analysis by L Ron Hubbard. There is the Chart of Human Evaluation in the book and that Tone is shown to be a brutal anger where people have lost spirituality and they become just solid matter. No sense of humor. See page 72. Those with a higher emotional tone have a good sense of humor, like MAGA and can differentiate sarcasm as a joke. Its interesting as we watch all this concern about hate speech which the Constitution protects. But the rest of the Western world does nto have the First Ammendment and so their ideas are trickling over to America. This idea of hate speech didn't originatee in America. Its from Germany and Nazi era. But Americans were brought up with Sticks and Stones may hurt my bones but words will never hurt me. But hate is contagious and can't be indulged with laws. Our Constitution protects us "Make no law to suppress speech.."

Most of the stuff called "bible eaching" out there needs to be cu off. I've heard far too much of it and it is all wover the place. One group hd FOUr different and mutually exclusive stories on what the "mark of the beast" is. At laeas three of them are rong, because they are mutually exclusive. But the fourth is as frcical as the other three. And that's only FOUR tht I've heard. I quit listenting o that whole bunch.

We LL need o larn how to understnd Scriture on our own. There are some very useful and easy to use tools... first start wih a solid accurate translation. So many out there today are junk. King James/New KJ, Geneva, the MOdernised geneva (sofar only NT but its good) there is a new one based on the ancient pre-"textus receptus" latin bible from way back. Can't remember what its called but the bits I read were good.

Nex are study tools. I fnd the old hardbound Strongs Exhaustive Concordance to be VERY useful. Take any english word in he bible and look it up. It will show all the places it is used, its original greek word, that definition, its roots, etc, and examples of what it means in other contexts.

Take for example "and this gospel will be preached in all the world, and then the end will come". I know folks who are all excited that some new tribe in Papua New Guinea have heard he gospel and responded.I am, too, but that has nought tp do with what Jesus meant) I was confused... until I looked up that word translated as "all the world". It does not include Buenos Aires, or Seoul, or Adelaide, or Capetown or Ulaan Batar. Nope. That word specifically means the Roman world of the time when Jesus spoke those words. Think about that.... wha happened on Pentecost? WHO comprised the crowd whom Peter addressed? WHERE were they from? Wjere did they go shortly after hearing Peter? Same word starts out Matthew's gospel... Caesar Augustus set forth a proclamation that ALL THE WORLD should be taxed and thus every MAN must return to the city of his birth tobe numbered and taxed. Did Caesar mean Buenos Aires, Capetown, Schezuan will come. The end of WHAT, precisely? The existence of the planet? Or perhaps simply the END of the present perfidious apostate jewish nation, the very ones who shouted CRUCIFY HIM, and the same one Jesus declared would be utterly destroyed "before THIS GENERATION passes away?

Another great tool I have used for decades is the various expanded translations and accommpanyong word studies of Kenneth Wuest. He digs down deeply into the roots and deeper meanings of so many greek words as they are found in the New Testament.

We are NOT left helpless and dependent upon others to grow in our understanding of God's Word. We all have "the noble Berean" within is. Just cut the lock and release it. No you won't become a bible scholar over a year.. or even five. But you WILL grow in your knowledge of His Word.

The most recent YouTube update has caused major problems. Videos I send via text can no longer be played in text (recipient receives notification that they must be logged in “for safety”); I can no longer reduce the YT screen on my phone and continue listening while accessing other apps; and the most annoying new issue is doubling up the ads presented, so even if you skip an ad, you have to listen to another one, which often cannot be skipped. So it stops your content for 10-40 seconds, and does so every 5 minutes. It doesn’t surprise me that all of that would cause buffering issues. Somebody screwed things up major in the update.

It was a masterpiece, PRO FREEDOM coalition has FINALLY come together, I've been waiting for this since 2016....here we finally are, so many Center-Lefties had to actually join in with the TDS and ProVaxxers and FAKE Administration of Harris-Biden (selected by OBAMA-Dem Elitists) to experience the truth of it all...why the Elite Reps and Dems HATE and disparage Populism so much and also why Heritage Project 2025 is being vilified currently too...keep "the People" out of government and leave it to careerists experts and those who serve the STATE and the Machine. Trump keeps countering the wild Leftist accusations by disavowing Pro-Life, Heritage Foundation, whatever other "rightwinger social issues" group may be a part of his MAGA Coalition... perhaps a required strategy, but he needs to FOCUS like a drone missile on the Harris-Biden Ruination of Global Stability and threat that Dem Party Itself poses to us ALL...i mean we can't just beat Harris by one of her menopausal whiskers just to allow DEMS to hold the Senate and do well in the House...this is a colossal PARTY Fight, not just Trump against the Dem Elitists and their selected Candidate of Color. Any chance that the Kamala Sex Tapes will be released on us in October? Not sure if it would help her or hurt her in the election, but voters would see how hard she works for others, puts her back into it, is flexible in her approach, enjoys flip-flopping in rapid succession, finds true pleasure after working on her goal, can truly come from behind and does her best work when hard pressed, and always strives to make it to the top.

Fundamentally agree. Real targets, not diversionary targeting. Not selecting and concentrating on real targets is eventually a discrediting strategy. Dumbing down will do huge damage over time in terms of credibility.

'They' hate us. They hate that we might interfere in their 'plans'. The hate us because many of us believe in God, and God and his Commandments is their ultimate obstacle. This goes even back to Marx and his 'religion is the opiate of the masses' remark (which also told us what Marx really thought of the people, just mass ... as in material, materialism).

Ultimately hating God is deep loathing of Truth. And just what we see all the time.

The Leftist Christian Nationalists like Walz are only too happy to play the role in Progressive Communism with a pretend Pantheon of do-gooder religious idols that lead us into greater secularist TRUTH. Moses, Jesus, Buda, Confucius Mohammed, these are all proto-Marxists and can serve the Revolution if properly contextualized. As to a Nationalism/History, this is all portrayed as Progressive advancement toward a greater Revolutionary goal as well...throw off monarchy, end slavery, worker-rights, gay rights, Public Housing and services.... Burn American Flag to protest Imperialist Capitalism but also fly Old Glory and pray and pledge and patriotism like at Chicago DNC as a stepping stone for the American Brand of Marxism and use it for all it's worth in squelching freedom. Nationalism and Religion are both necessary evils in the Progressive Revolution, and to hijack these from the Counterrevolutionaries and then use them as weapons against the opponents of Marx is terrorific strategy.

I remember when the crazy postmodern, post-structuralist, post-Marxist, queer theory claptrap was laughed at in colleges and universities. The belief at the time was that only the low IQ people infesting humanities departments could fall for such obvious word salad nonsense. That it could never infect the hard sciences or even the social sciences b/c they were quantitative in nature, stats-based, and so on. LOL! Now we have social justice math, "the queering of" nuclear weapons, and drag queens and condom dispensers in elementary schools.

I've come to view all of that as a temper tantrum that apparently needed to run its course. The weak crybabies of the world needed their moment to shout their "pain." The recent moves by many in the tech sector and Fortune 500 to roll back DEI and ESG, and the universities losing big donors, make me somewhat hopeful we are near the end.

I can proudly say I no longer spend a single minute interacting with a known libtard. The last one has been purged from my life (TDS commie sister in law), and feels liberating. Wife is going to a family event alone, at her request, because I refuse to engage in banal drivel when the world is at a tipping point. They don't want to listen to anything I say , and it's mutual, so I'll happily stay home and watch college football instead.

It took KamalaBama 40 days to do a scripted, recorded, highly edited interview.

The end result was less than 18 out of 60 minutes of jibberish, all whilst continuously looking down at the notes in her lap. Extremely obvious.

By the way, the rest of the ‘interview’ was video clips from previous rallies. This says much about the extent of their ignorance.

Ryan, I apologize for jumping in your thread but there is an egregious violation of our 1st Amendment Free Speech in Surprise, AZ. I think everyone will agree if they watch the short video (link further below).

I just sent this message to Jeff asking for his consideration in calling for a C&C Doubler:

@Jeff_Childers there is a free speech case beginning in Surprise, Arizona. I have no connection to the case except that I saw it on X and became immediately infuriated/disgusted with the "Mayor" of Surprise, Skip Hall.

You can see the exchange on Ms Massie's Give Send Go page, here: https://www.givesendgo.com/standwithmassie

I hope everyone will watch the short video.

"Mayor" Hall violated Ms Massie's 1st Amendment right to Free Speech in the most heinous way, including having her arrested by a police officer (who should have disobeyed his unlawful order) for failing to abide his demand and did it in front of her 10 year old daughter. It's an egregious violation as you will see.

My reason for posting it here is that you please consider a multiplier for Ms Massie.

An organization named FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) has said they will be filing a lawsuit.

To everyone, if Jeff doesn't do a multiplier, it is my sincere hope everyone will donate to Massie. She was doing a beautiful job as a Citizen when Hall decided he would stomp her 1st Amendment right with a document the Surprise City Council dreamed up to abridge Citizen Speech.

It MUST be stopped.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hate to break it to most readers, but if you wore the mask you consented to censorship.

"Masks mandates aren't my hill to die on."

=

"Free speech isn't my hill to die on."

Masks. Most people knew they were BS. But most went along with them. Feeling an obligation to not frighten those who believed they were protective. Kindness. Compassion. Those poor little old ladies, frightened by bare faces. To wear a mask was just being nice to your fellow man. Not a big deal. But it was. A "big f'n deal."

All who said the first were actually saying the second, whether they knew it or not. And by making that declaration, followed by the widespread compliance with mask mandates the authorities have predictably continued to strip away our First Amendment protections.

Masks were always known to be unsupported by medical science, ineffective, worthless facial decorations. But the *symbolism* of them had value for the behavioral scientists. They helped "amplify fear" (aka terrorized) of disease, the Rx to cure you of the "optimism bias" you were diagnosed with. They spread awareness, acting as "nonpharmaceutical interventions" that scared overly optimistic people who didn't fear "the virus" apart, changing perceptions and resulting in behavioral changes in social interactions.

Symbols. Symbols are speech. The oldest form of speech. Communication even the illiterate understand. Like flags, crosses, mascots, colors, cave drawings, etc. "Show you care." "Be afraid." "I'm protecting you." "I'm taking this seriously." Speech.

And to mandate speech, "Show you care" is the other side of the same free speech coin from censorship. To show a bare face when masks were mandated to "follow the (behavioral) science of "Fear Amplification" was to contradict and ineffectuate the NPI. How dare you shout "calm down, there is no fire" in a theater where those in charge screamed "fire" to clear it?!?! That was their thinking and rationale. So much so that even a baby without a symbolic mask on his/her face was grounds to toss entire families off of planes, "Your baby isn't amplifying fear sufficiently with a free face, others might get the idea that we have nothing to fear. And we can't have that!"

To not wear a mask was to speak "we have nothing to fear but fear itself" against the state as it was demanding our fear - for our own protection and safety, of course!

But, masks weren't the hill to die on for most of our friends, families, neighbors, employers, business owners, teachers, lawyers, judges. That told those of us who were making this argument all we needed to know about how little most people truly care about free speech and how few will even fight to preserve it.

The Land of the Free, Home of the Brave? Apparently not. Not brave enough to fight for free speech. Which was what mask mandates were all about. And they had 70% - 90% compliance in most big cities, even among those who knew they didn't work. And here we are four years later. Predictably for those of us who saw the implications to the First Amendment of mandating symbols, speech. Authorities get people to give up essential rights and liberty, even the most essential right of all, free speech, as an act of "kindness."

In the words and song of Nick Lowe, there are times that require us to be cruel to be truly kind. They convinced most to believe it's kind to terrorize each other.

I don't know of anyone who has studied our new and illegal immigrants and their views, but in prior eras, immigrants were some of the most conservative Americans: they worked hard, many wanted to own their own businesses, and immigrant families were not trusting of what they saw as America's loose morality, especially as it pertained to their young daughters.

A while back here in WA, we were made to buy new plates every so many years (5/6/7 years - I can't remember exactly). Perfectly good plates were tossed and new ones installed at the expense of the car owner. I don't know why they scrapped that "rule/reg", but after they stopped requiring new plates every few years, the last license plate we received is just junk - the numbers falling off, the reflective material fading, flimsy material. I have old plates from back in the day and there is a big difference.

Actually, you don't have to do anything with the license plate because you don't own your 'vehicle' even though you think you do. The real owner is responsible for putting a plate on the car, and again ... that is not you. The whole system is Color of Law. As to the 'vehicle' you only have a beneficial use interest claim. That's the only thing you ever get, a claim to a certain something.

The tip off is that you are given only a Certificate of Title to 'your vehicle'. Certificate means that you have a Claim. In the 'vehicle' instance, it is a claim to use. When you 'sell' your car, you sell nothing. You mere transfer the Claim of Use (the Certificate) to another user in consideration, usually an 'amount' of USD.

Always notice this. That when you buy a car from a car dealer and you paid the full cash price, the dealer ought to give you a either a signed factory marked paid in full invoice or the dealer's bill of sale marked paid in full. This never happens. Instead, if you give the dealership a check in the full sale amount, they always go into the back office and perform some out of sight hidden voodoo with the state's DMV. All color of law fraud because the dealer pretends to 'sell' you a car and the state pretends to affirm and validate a 'sale'. The fraud is that you pay, the dealer takes your money and transfers ownership to a third party (a holding trust) not you.

Was it actually the Biden administration who used the FBI to rig the elections though? It was the 2020 election and there was no Biden administration.

So, I think it was worse. Politicians are seeking power but what was the FBI seeking when it was choosing its boss?

Why did they want the Biden administration to exist and to destroy the Trump administration?

We don’t even have the tip of the iceberg yet.

Technically, you are correct. However, in the period leading up to the election, Biden's campaign team and advisors worked together to develop policy positions, build a transition team, and prepare for a potential presidency. Part of that was leading cheating and censoring efforts. Pointing out the different factions involved is a mouthful, so it’s just easier to say administration. Semantics. Same players. Different name.

Check out former state department Mike Benz on X. He talks about “The Blob”. it is a giant creature, composed of intelligence agencies, state department, military, and military contractors, censorship departments, and of course giant companies like Blackrock, Vanguard and Statestreet, which own everything. So “protecting democracy” now equals protecting these institutions. It has nothing to do with the will of the voters anymore. I truly fear for his life since he speaks out about this often, and in great detail.

The cheating has been going on for about 20 years on both sides. There are a few separate groups that found the same method: algorithms are used to cast votes. The voters beat the algorithms in 2016 so they had to step up their efforts which exposed the method. Dr. Corsi explains at the 1:32 mark

A video I saw yesterday had an interviewer in NYC.

He proceeded to ask four educated and entitled looking liberal white people (3 younger women, one middle aged man) if voter ID is racist.

All immediately said yes, and when asked why, the responses were not only racist but offensive and insulting to black Americans.

" Well, you know, they may not know how to use the internet, they may not know how to get to a DMV or where to find one", etc.

He then went to East Harlem, and asked a Black older couple a teenager, a woman, and a young adult man if they knew how to use the internet, where DMV is etc., and asked all if they had ID.

The responses were "ofcourse" to all questions and their expressions to why he was asking showed that it was upsetting to them.

The best response of all was from the young adult man incredulously exclaiming

" Ofcourse I have ID! you can't get around anywhere in this city or do anything without it"!!

The white liberals repeated a racist Democrat narrative which, I believe, is really a coverup for allowing undocumented, illegals to vote (for them) rather than it being for Blacks, as they claim it to be.

Once again, they are insulting, rather than helping the Black community.

Why AI ‘misinformation’ algorithms and research are mostly expensive garbage

By Professor Norman Fenton

If ever there was a case of “garbage in, garbage out” then AI is it. And, ultimately it has all been driven by the objective of censoring information that does not fit the politically correct narrative...

....Yet it continues to prioritise research funding in AI to combat this increased risk of “harmful misinformation and disinformation”!

As Mike Benz has made clear in his recent work and interviews (backed up with detailed evidence), almost all of the funding for the Universities or research institutes worldwide doing this kind of work, along with the “fact checkers” that use it, comes from the US State Dept, NATO and the British Foreign Office who, in the wake of the Brexit vote and Trump election in 2016, were determined to stop the rise of “populism” everywhere. It is this objective which has driven the mad AI race to censor the internet. Look at this video in which Mike Benz walks us through an event that took place in 2019:

Granted, Musk is strong man ... courage, boldness, very smart and informed, and articulate. Not to take anything away. But still, this stuff does not come out of nowhere. And so, when one see the stupid EU 'leaders' like Ursula walking things back, the Zuck backtracking big time, and much more going on of this nature, then one must think 'reversal of trend' and 'something big going on' ... and this within the context of patterns of prime movers.

Can the Dollar Survive a Civil War?

Posted Aug 30, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

This will probably be the last election in the United States, for we will most likely split into three regional governments. We will deal with that at the upcoming WEC. There is no question that post-election violence will be extreme. Whenever you have this winner-takes-all system and political corruption unfolds, the LEFT is not seeking to govern the nation; they are seeking to oppress all opponents. You are witnessing what the LEFT is doing in the UK...

....Typically, governments go into civil wars when there is a conflict that is culturally/ethnically, religiously, or racially driven, and we are now checking that box and just waiting for the election. We will face a rigged and contested election that neither side will accept. When there is no confidence in the government anymore, the ONLY resolution is always violence. History confirms this prognostication. How can there be such fantastic polls for Kamala, who never won a single delegate during the 2020 primary, and we look at the only real independent poll organization that shows confidence in Congress down to 7%?

It does not matter who wins. This election will NEVER be accepted, and it certainly will NOT unify the country. The Democratic Convention threw Trump’s name out 329 times. It was just a hate fest. That will ensure violence. The LEFT will never accept a Trump victory – NO WAY!!!!!

There is no belief that this election will be free and fair. The United States has declined into this dangerous characteristic that warns the country is far too divided to stand. I am concerned that the dollar may decline FOR THIS REASON. I want to think that reform is possible. Unfortunately, history tells us that when an empire, nation, country, or city-state is this divided, REFORM becomes possible only AFTER violence.
