I grew up in Colorado and always assumed I’d retire there, but no more. It started getting weird when they legalized weed and has gotten weirder with lightning speed, I think it’s trying to turn into California. I’ll just stay in TX. Also, I can’t wait to see this ballot issue slapped down by the supremes. I hope it’s unanimous.

I would not hold out any hope on the Supreme Court the 3 liberals will never vote favorably. Roberts will vote with them if he capture one of the conservative justices to make it 5-4 We place way too much faith in the legal system. It’s as corrupt as the rest of DC. Just look at what they are actually convicting the Jan 6 th protestors. They twisted some section of the legal code 10 million times to distort it from its original meaning and then only apply this new legal theory to the Jan 6th folks and nobody else.
Not completely, there are still many good people in government, just not at the top. I’m not black pilled, I’m naturally an optimist and generally think things will get better.
I admire that outlook--I am more of a realist BUT having said that...eventually--we will see TRUE JUSTICE when the Lord Jesus Christ sets up His PERFECT KINGDOM ON EARTH....that happens AFTER the "hell on earth" 7 years of tribulation though.
If the SCOTUS goes against the other rulings, I’m looking for densities not only call for but do their best to pack the court. Or I fear for the conservative judges , as they already know where they live.
Maryland is no better and the Biden state I live in just passed weed too. Some towns in Delaware where I live near the beach are possibly going to outlaw it, which is interesting. I hear some group is working on how to test if you’re driving high.
It’s mostly because Colorado was the first to allow widespread use of non-medical weed. It attracted all the pot smokers, many of whom don’t work or don’t work much. That’s why I mentioned it.
In Co briefly while driving back from NM and amazed, and disgusted, to see regular gas was only 86, not 87 octane. Unreal. Reminds me of the saying about the Swiss ,"They'll eat a nail, and spit out a screw"
Mee too. Upper Willamette. Wine & hazelnut country. We’ve been targeted since 2017 by the stealth products of Sauron’s NGOs. Some wins, some losses. They are trained, sneaky & tenacious! God Bless & Merry Christmas!
"Soft secession" might be the best real-world compromise (in terms of minimizing body count or other disorder). This is a term I see crop up at times in the dissident media. As I grok it, it basically means that individual States disregard Federal dictates. It's not all or nothing. A current example is TX's law that proposes to allow the State to deport illegals. This has already happened to a certain extent, such as the aforementioned marilization of legalwana. That, in effect was several States telling Washington f--k you, you say pot is illegal. We say not. And, so far as I know, the Feds blinked. Of course, the background issue is to what extent States have the right to be autonomous. How far will the trend continue? Who knows?
I have a long-time friend who lives near San Antonio and there IS a definite sector of the TX population (long time conservatives--NOT the transplants from CA) who are totally on board with secession from the "union"....this will be the death knell for our once great country though. I have NO desire for a truly "divided" U.S.A.--what would we even be CALLED?? "The Federation of States"??? Reminds me of the original Star Trek "governance!!
Also, a balkanized USA more vulnerable to attacks from other nations. Not like our military is the strongest, right now, but, say New Hampshire secedes (which is often talked about as well), what are they going to do if China decides to invade their 'country'? I just don't see them winning that one, and so then we are now in the same BS of sending 'foreign aid' because it is in our interests, or turning away and watching CCP gain a [greater--they are already here] foothold here.
The first step would be to rout all government officials that have committed treason as it is defined in the Constitution, which would include the majority of those who fought in our foreign wars.
Treason is defined in the Constitution at Article 3, Section 3, as consisting "only in levying War against (the United States), or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
All members of the American military take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (and to) bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
When the military is committed to foreign actions without a declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 11 of the Constitution, that is a violation of the Constitution, arguably the action of domestic enemies.
When a member of the military participates in an unconstitutional foreign military deployment, s/he violates both the Constitution and his/her oath to "support and defend" it, giving "aid and comfort" to it's "domestic enemies," committing treason by the definition given by the Constitution.
Oddly, today there is levying war not by conventional means, but by other means. Call it Fourth Generation, Fifth Generation or whatever you like. In order to invoke treason as a prosecutable offense, Congress would have to identify the various organizations complicit (United Nations and its agencies, WEF, etc.) and issue a declaration of war as beomg existing between said agencies and the United States. This would be a can of worms problematic.
Nonetheless, treason against United States sovereignty has been committed. The governments of our country have been overthrown and taken captive. We are a largely disenfranchised people, and certainly so by usurpation of our constitutions various. The usurpations in manifold form are in my book ... treason having been committed.
The only lawful option that the federal government has to launch a war is by declaring one. The War Powers Act and supportive subsequent NDAAs have been superceded with continuous wars of aggression and conquest since WW2. Most of America's disenfranchisement has been caused by the negligence and apathy of the We the People who the founders counted on to control their government.
nope. blaming the Victim is not a useful option. lets LOOK AT THE GLOBALISTS who did jfk back when and have been leading us down a dark path ever since. WAKE UP TO THE WEF and the DEATH OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY WITH THE WHO before its too late!
What global scumtards did to Yugoslavia (the Balkans) . Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Hersogovena, Macedonia, Montenegro. Makes it a lot easier for the Rules Based World Order to plunder and control them.
Please, please stop using Google. there are so many other search engines to chose from. Don't feed the beast. No other search engines censors like Google.
LOL it is generic for any search engine, in my vocab, but the 1st hit on DDG was,,,LOL...from google. I toggle back and forth between DDG--which I admit has gotten suckier--and Brave. Never use google. Can't find ANYTHING but what they want you to find, there. But the dictionary def was still untampered with.
The USA as we have known it is already gone. The empire is collapsing and the USG is on the verge of imploding the same way the Soviet Politburo did. There is no going back to what was. A new paradigm will have to arise from this mess going forward and this will be what we must work toward.
That's EXACTLY what Marty Armstrong voiced, Phil!! No going "back" is spot on! But what lies "ahead"...does our nation have the Holy Spirit guided leaders that we did in the 1700's? Sadly--I very much doubt it!! NEW LEADERS must be engendered from our young people--these old farts "leading" WE THE PEOPLE right now are despots for the most part!
My crystal ball gets real hazy beyond next year, much less next decade. Already, opposition to the NWO is arising in the East in the form of the BRICS. Internally in the US, opposition is arising among the "natives" who have had enough of their NWO lies. So...I think the Western cabal is getting desperate, especially the Bolsheviks in DC. Thanks to the Founding Fathers who created a multi-jurisdictional nation rather than a monolithic, top down government like most nations, America is very difficult to conquer even though they captured the Fed Gov't in the 2020 election coup. They were only able to capture some of the State governments and the county level, where ultimate authority resides, is completely uncontrollable from there point of view in spite of Soros best efforts.
But I know this from history, once a Marxist regime captures a government, they do not ever relinquish power voluntarily. There is no telling what they will do to keep control. They face the threat of opposition from Americans at the local level and the threat of losing a national election to the MAGA movement. Trump is the tip of that spear and they obviously fear what will happen to them if he gets back in office. They told us before it happened that there would be a pan-corona virus pandemic and now they are telling us that 2024 will see a collapse of the power grid. Guess what happens to the elections in that event.
Knowing what we (the awake ones) know of these nefarious "snoops" creeps and their powerful ploys within the Federal government and beyond...it will be TOTAL HAVOC if we lost power. Tell me, Phil--have you taken precautions to have some form of "power supply" in that event? I was asking my friend with whom I live to invest in a Generac back up generator (that runs on natural gas). But if the grid is attacked--will we even have access to natural gas? What are your thoughts, friend?
You do what you can and what is logical knowing that things may happen differently than you anticipated. Generac is great for several reasons. I would expect NG to still work unless the power grid goes down so long nothing works. I would hope that the gas companies have backup electrical generating capacity. My son has remote acreage within a short drive from our homes which will serve as a bug-out location if things go sideways. He is putting a large propane tank and a generator on the property. Same idea as you.
This C & C Group is an answer to my EARNEST PRAYER, Phil as I knew the chaos would be upon the world after what happened in 2020. This is just the "cusp" of the torment and I was praying the Lord would direct me to a believing group of people who are REAL Americans. And He has - PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!
I'm in Northern California and there are a lot of people up here who have been attempting split the state into Southern vs. Northern California. The south along with the coastal cities are of course the crazy leftists, while the north is conservative and don't want to be part of the left dominant government. A LOT of people want this, but it seems impossible to do. For one thing, a lot of water the southern part of the state needs is piped from the north. So the PTBs will never permit this split anyway.
Perhaps you need to encourage your local governance people in N. Cally to "barter" with the honchos in S. Cally to levy smaller taxes and pare down on the perverted agenda and ESG "doctrine". Remind the "southerners" that IF the "northerners" vote to secede--they would lose ALL "water rights" OR have to pay a huge "water tax" to get the water they desperately need. Doesn't hurt to "haggle"!!
I pray it doesn't come to that--but now Hollywood is touting a new "dystopian" movie to premiere in April of 2024 (like Concerned Grammy from this group said 2 weeks ago - the cabal "warns" the general public in advance of their plans for the populace--this could be that "warning"). Marty Armstrong, the world-renowned economic forecaster, mentioned it on his blog yesterday! Here's a link to the trailer--it chilled me to watch even that much of it! https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/the-coming-american-civil-war/
There is a powerful top down roll back from Commie Woke now in the works. 2024 might be a watershed reversal year.
Also, we are not the only ones getting C & C type commentary. The rest of the world is watching. And also rest assured that the intelligence agencies of the world, including Russian, Chinese, Indian an so on are watching and noting. Given all the exposure, Commie Woke may be already over and we just don't know it yet.
I'm not holding my breath for any reversal, Dave--the "handwriting is on the wall" and our country has been found "lacking" in Godliness for so many decades. That's why I constantly pray that part of the "disciples' prayer"...."may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO REPENT AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS!
I agree. Especially on the repenting of Wicked Ways. However, there is a roll back against Commie Woke in progress, and just too many indications as to be coincidence. Ukraine sanctions failure, a massive miscalculation, pushed the need to roll back into high gear. And Woke forces have a huge problem, massive international rejection of the insanity of what the once revered United States has become.
And so, I think the roll back will continue. I think we will get relief but not real reform. No power will be returned to the people. The security/terror state will not be dismantled. The economic fundamentals will have to change. The below video is apt to be challenging to a lot of people and the interviewer says as much. Nonetheless, this is in part a most cogent assessment of some key fundamentals. For instance, nobody but nobody in the financial world takes about 'spare capacity' as being key. This guy being interviewed did. This makes him top drawer.
However and again ... and absent repenting, no Godly change of any significance.
I think you pegged it pretty well. However, I opine this little speculation the are always a ruling class ... and ruling classes are aways factional because it is foundationally intrinsic to humankind that folks never but never wholly agree. And as a kicker, is also a matter of distance whether of not it is small or large disagreements. We, as you know, are the most polarized we have ever been in America excepting on the eve of the American Civil War.
The words 'oligarch' and/or 'oligarchy' in recent decades has taken on a more sinister meaning, but it does not always have to be so. Woke seems to be in retreat and Globalist with it. This may not be obvious, but the two maybe already finished ... or at least in decline. The rest of the world knows that the West is totally bats off the rails insane, and they really don't want anything to do with it. And the Western ruled 'populations' are pissed angry and have had a belly full. These two things mean that that crazy has to be walked backwards or else the real power above the stage of actors has a very high risk of losing control, something they most definitely don't want. (But walking it back won't be accomplished in weeks or months, but over many years.
I have NEVER read Marty Armstrong mentioning anything about the Bible or Christianity in his blogs. What evidence do you have to make that statement, Vonu?
I don't read that many blogs anymore, but I was directed to Marty Armstrong from a member of our local freedom group--back in 2020. At first I read him every day - now...hardly at all. But what is L.R.C.?
Spotting the word 'sect' and having studied 2,000 plus years of Christian history and doctrine, this comment strikes me as being more of the 'rubber and glue' kind of remark. And largely very small ... possibly even pointless.
I grew up in Colorado and always assumed I’d retire there, but no more.

I agree, but if there’s any issue ripe for unanimity, it’s this one. One can always hope that sensible minds will prevail.
Sensible minds have ceased prevailing in all American governments.
Not completely, there are still many good people in government, just not at the top. I’m not black pilled, I’m naturally an optimist and generally think things will get better.
I admire that outlook--I am more of a realist BUT having said that...eventually--we will see TRUE JUSTICE when the Lord Jesus Christ sets up His PERFECT KINGDOM ON EARTH....that happens AFTER the "hell on earth" 7 years of tribulation though.
Scum has always risen to the top, eventually.
I would venture to say in ALL governments! POWER AND GREED run this present fallen world! Always has!!

I believe that’s because of the altitude. I remember my dad explaining it to me once... but it was long ago.
Will you stay in Texas if Texit succeeds?
Heck I’d like to move there if they do.
if I were from Portland Id have moved there already! ;)
With 13 grandchildren here it’s hard to leave. Luckily we are a bit south of Portland. We are seeing the spread unfortunately
Mee too. Upper Willamette. Wine & hazelnut country. We’ve been targeted since 2017 by the stealth products of Sauron’s NGOs. Some wins, some losses. They are trained, sneaky & tenacious! God Bless & Merry Christmas!
Secedes? I doubt that’s ever going to happen but I guess I’d decide depending on how it happened.

Maybe you should bone up on the movement, since it might get on the ballot, with polls running in the 60% range in favor of it.
I have a long-time friend who lives near San Antonio and there IS a definite sector of the TX population (long time conservatives--NOT the transplants from CA) who are totally on board with secession from the "union"....this will be the death knell for our once great country though. I have NO desire for a truly "divided" U.S.A.--what would we even be CALLED?? "The Federation of States"??? Reminds me of the original Star Trek "governance!!
hey not all CA transplants are not conservatives!
I'm sure nothing is 100% - not even Cally transplants in TX (I am surmising that YOU are one of those rare birds, Lisa?)
Also, a balkanized USA more vulnerable to attacks from other nations.

Now that is closer to the truth.
You must have a warehouse full of the globalist koolaid that no one else is drinking anymore.
This is also why Biden should be impeached.
What do you mean by "balkanized", Michele?
What global scumtards did to Yugoslavia (the Balkans) . Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Hersogovena, Macedonia, Montenegro. Makes it a lot easier for the Rules Based World Order to plunder and control them.
omg please look it up!
From google:
balkanize
verb
To divide a territory into small, hostile states.
Alternative capitalization of Balkanize.
Divide a territory into small, hostile states.

And you would WANT that for our Constitutional Republic???
No--reread my comment: it says balkanization is NOT good, because makes us more vulnerable.
Thanks for clarifying, Michele.
They have to divide us to conquer us.
It might be an improvement on its current status as the USSA.

its going to happen, seems obvious. the coasts have little in common anymore with the sane people and most just dont want WOKE culture

It would probably go back to being the Republic of Texas.

I can agree that this is "plausible" given that our Federal government is SO, SO WICKED AND ETHICALLY COMPROMISED.
yeah I think its gonna take a lot more work from all of us before that is the case. not Commmie woke anyway. its OLIGARCH GLOBALIST WOKE.
I think you pegged it pretty well.

Armstrong sometimes can't see past his Christian mindset to see reality.

Ha! Martin never seemed much of a Christian to me. For the life of me, I don't understand this comment.
While only tends to indicate that you have never been a Christian of any sect.
Spotting the word 'sect' and having studied 2,000 plus years of Christian history and doctrine, this comment strikes me as being more of the 'rubber and glue' kind of remark. And largely very small ... possibly even pointless.
