Todays "government " is a combination of the movie xlips of idoiocracy, birth of a nation & soviet Russia.

They will not give up through any manor of voting.

Each time the absurdity is exposed spinning operations go into high gear. The avarage person gets the results.

Most of them are unable to read between the lines. ( my third grade teacher in reeder north Dakota introduced our class to this term. I spent years as a kid literally doing that) lol

Anyhow how much worse, how far must it go? At this point I don't have any faith in the system being used to put out the fire that will " burn it all down" the people who planed this will never be held accountable. Never the less if I go down fighting.

I will have in my possession a rope with an Alabama boy scout knot pre tied. Hopefully it'll get used by someone seeking and who knows what real justice is.

In many places I added the word evil to replace stupid. This wanton corruption can only end one way and that is the end of the rule of law. I think we are 90% there now for those adjudicated to have opposing views to the current regime. A large portion of us are already deemed domestic terrorists based on the color of our skin.

I'm fortunate to have attended public school when the teachers didn't have green hair and their noses lacked bars or rings in them. My Problems Of Democracy teacher never once mentioned Donald Trump as the second Hitler and we actually studied what transpired in the past (History, it was called).

Our empire managed its typical 250 or so years, but is on its last legs.

Khrushchev was prescient when he said the soviets would bury us from within. It's a Republic, and we couldn't keep it!

I know this won't be a popular comment, but the Libertarian philosopher Hans-Hermann Hoppe came to the conclusion that the only system of government that works is a monarchy. The reason he came to this point is that kings will try to preserve their nations to pass it on to their heirs. It's quite obvious that today's "leaders" have no such thought, they just want to amass as much money and power as possible. Another advantage to monarchy is that if a king behaves too outrageously, he is usually killed and someone else takes power. One other thing to remember about the monarchial system with its attendant nobles is that these people are born to their position, they don't have to claw their way up using lies, deceit, backbiting, fraud, and other undesirable personality traits. I would say that there is literally not one decent person in the political sphere today, they all have behaved dishonorably whether they've been found out or not. As far as nobles and kings (I have no claim to any genetic connection to either) go, some were awful, most were neutral, and some were actually decent, honest, and worked to make their subjects prosperous, safe, and content.

We have had so much time to “make it right”. In a nutshell: When a country has its’ citizens caring more about a ball game, sponsered by pharmaceutical company that wants to kill you, Rome has arrived.

Doing a bit of reading about the "Great Schism" which I - ignorantly - knew little about describing the East/West split in Europe. Reading about Byzantium (like Rome) was a page out of today's headlines with only the technology missing. Basically, uber-rich families contending behind the scenes, forming alliances here and back-stabbing there. One Emperor would build things up, the next spend the empire into oblivion, the next would be an outright traitor, and now and then an outsider would take control, get something done, only to be undone by the jealous aristocracy to whom the empire and subjects 'rightfully belonged.' Really puts teeth into the historical cycles theories.

T.L.,

"...so where does one obtain justice" ? To answer your above question allow me to paraphrase Mao Zedong, Chinese communist party leader:

"....justice grows out of the barrel of a gun."

So Renee.....are you indicating that the scum of government would physically fight the citizenry they've been terrorizing for decade upon decade ?

Understand when the People fear the government the Citizens have terror and treachery. When the scum one calls "government" fears the People you have Liberty.

Fear of incoming and long jail terms courtesy of the Crown's henchmen, never did deter the brave soldiers of the Irish Republican Army. Just as American colonials, farmers, storekeepers, clergy, stood their ground in defiance against King George III and his professional army of Redcoated soldiers on 19 April 1775 at Lexington Green. Lexington Green where the shot fired and heard around the world started the Revolutionary War and created the once greatest nation the Earth would ever see....the now former United States. And yes. Patriots standing against the professional soldiers of King George III were killed and wounded that day.

Anything worth fighting for is worth dying for. Or a population of once free American citizens can grovel at the heel of the boot one knows as "government".

Which do you prefer living under Renee ? The abuse and tyranny wielded by overpowering government upon their "subjects" ? Or the Liberty of Citizens who believe that limited government is there to serve The People ?

Renee, if you do nothing else this weekend consider reading the Declaration of Independence. Seems to me this once great nation of today mimics the abuses of King George III as listed and outlined in the Declaration of Independence.

With due respect, you’re preaching to the choir. The USA was sold out decades ago. This is not a great nation any longer. Was it ever? The ideas it professed at its’ founding are a pipe dream. I see it all so clearly now, at 60. What lies!

So, when I was fired for not getting a test/jab, who the hell stood up for me, or others? NO ONE! Because Americans are stupid. Half of the country would wipe their ass with the Bill of Rights!

I stand with my Creator/God.

Renee,

When you write "....who the hell stood up for me...." just who did you believe or expect to stand up for you in your defense ?

Now, I'm not trying to be a smartass with my above question. I am genuinely curious as to who or what organization you believe would publicly support you; stand up for you ?

I have ample examples from my years on this earth to understand your "stand up for you" statement. Your experiences are just one example of my belief that one person acting alone cannot right the wrongs one encounters.

Many times I have been identified as a cynic. My response is to clarify that what one calls cynicism is not. It is EXPERIENCE !

Anyhow, did you read the Declaration of Independence as I suggested ? It is a historical American document that mirrors then in 1776, what the future United States would become nearly 250 years later. That which the Founding Fathers organized and rebelled against is exactly what has happened all over again. Only this time the evil that was England has become the evil the United States now is. History DOES repeat itself. How ironic, eh ?

Anyhow, thanks for your response to my remarks. Your frustration is apparent and justifiably so. Problem is there are so few of us with our eyes open; just as T.L. Davis and the readers of his blog are. At least we are not alone.

To my thinking his co workers could have said this -forcing the injection is wrong. We won't allow this. No one did.

At a guess almost everyone on this substack has read the Declaration of Independence.

Somehow people in ordinary life as we all are, are unable to extrapolate what the Declaration means.

Wilson,

Regarding your thought that "almost everyone on this substack" has read the Declaration of Independence, I would disagree. My guess is these same readers could not name their state or federal representatives nor their state or federal senators. Certainly, students at every level of education in this once, great country were NEVER taught about the Founding Fathers and the document that created this former United States.

Yes, and the ones who aren't stupid lack moral courage, which is much harder than physical courage.

I failed the moral courage test a time or two. Easier to go along. Nothing terrible or as bad as what you speak of but bad enough. I won't do that ever again. No matter the cost. My solemn oath.

I had been looking for a job, passed the first interview and took another phone interview. This was for a job perfect for my experience, stuff I'd done before and paid somewhere around 120K, but then they asked if I had been jabbed. I asked what business it was of theirs to ask me personal medical questions in an interview. They went through all of the arguments that work with everyone else. They have posted the same job numerous times and even knowing that they would no longer ask that question, I refuse to apply to them. I finally took a much less high-paying job and nearly got fired from that for refusing to fill out Covid questionnaires at a customer's plant. I'll tell you that it hurts, but my acquiescence only makes it harder for others. I was sent back to that customer's plant several months later and was informed immediately that I did not have to fill out the Covid questionnaire. I don't know if I had anything to do with that decision from their office, but mine would not back me up on it and eventually, I quit knowing that they would never back me up.

So much for HIPPA laws/limitations/restrictions, etc., eh ?
