I absolutely believe they want us to fight back. It’s the only logical conclusion. I’d wager that they’re surprised how much we’ve put up with at this point. But it’s all going to come down to dying on your feet or on your knees. Cause that’s the only way it ends.

As Enoch Powell so aptly put it, "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman,

I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood." It isn't as if we weren't warned - Enoch Powell in 1968. Hell, Titus Livy some 2000 years ago. Our existence will eventually devolve down to a terrible calculus: KTF.

Great article! I think the 2020 election was the last one we'll see. Trump dodged one bullet. Will he dodge another? Maybe. The Republic went off the cliff a long time ago like Wiley Coyote. It just hasn't hit bottom yet.

The Federal Government is spending $1 trillion a year in interest on the national debt. That is a debt trap. The game is over. The only "solution" for the Big Boys is to knock over the game table.

War all the time and everywhere with no end will be our fates.

If I was young, I'd go find a safer place to be and become as self-reliant, a Mad Max, as I could be.

Gabby, I think I'd go to the area around eastern Washington and Oregon and western Idaho.

Right now we're living in a northern Midwest state in a rural area, we've got a mix of right wing and commies. At least we can see them coming here. I'm very skeptical about even eastern Oregon and Washington. It's pretty much come to we just have to find as much of a refuge as possible. Idaho has been pretty much infected, too. What burns me is that leftists flee the areas they've despoiled, then go and despoil the new place. They are like plague bacilli.

What System" replaced the National Bank that President Jackson killed??? A People ignorant of their own history and Constitution, that requires Gold & Silver money, can not long endure.

Expand full comment

Nobody wants to carry around heavy coins, which has always been one of the reasons there was replacement scrip, or silver certificates (as in the Song Dynasty in China).

And it always starts our honest, and ends up screwed up. Pinochect's/Friedman's Chilean Social Security plan was genius, but the investment houses that were supposed safeguard the citizens' $$f w/low fees & reasonable return just couldn’t help themselves. And they ruined it.

It’s not the form of money (altho that is important), it’s the integrity of the people/systems that handle it, AND the restrictions and penalties for mishandling it. The gold standard didn’t prevent the Panic of 1893, 1896, 1907, 1929, or 1933. The issue wasn’t the money standard, it was the PEOPLE. And there’s no real fix for that except a healthy respect and everance for God.

So much turmoil in this world. I have read with interest that Russia is asking conservative Christians to move there. Many folks I know and follow are excited about Russia's religious resurgence. Russia chose Christianity at the end of the 9th century AD. Nothing else, just plain simple Christianity as it was. The "Communist" revolution, the Bolsheviks, hated the Orthodox Christians. They were mostly Jews who felt that this was their opportunity to to be the New Czars. As with all things rooted in evil and paganism, it destroyed so much, yet Christ has risen again, ever The Victor over Evil. The 3rd Rome indeed. So there is an opportunity for some folks to leave.

I agree with you T.L. Even if Trump wins, this country will be in turmoil and conflict for a decade. We will fight many wars at the Homefront. When I look at what America was-in 1890 people were rewarded for innovation and skill. Now? Those are dirty words because they don't equal the same outcome. We have more natural resources under our feet, more minerals, more land than any country on earth and yet the Fortunate Few demand we don't use it because they are afraid. Nothing was ever accomplished by fear. Be not afraid, and fear not. Put on the whole armor of God.

I was in the Donetsk region years ago, before the conflict started. There were a lot of Russians there already, and they are not the nicest people in the world; rude, hostile, presenting an aura of not caring one bit for anything but themselves. I experienced some health problems while there and I remember praying, "Please, God, don't let me be sick here." I literally felt like kissing the ground when I got off the plane in America on my return. My son has had experience with Russians in Russia and he characterized them as cold. So, no, you don't want Russia, which is still ruled by communist jews, despite the window dressing.

Yet "Who?" kept pushing the Russians since Bush the Elder's broken promises on NATO expansion?

Who sold our Uranium to Russia??? Clintonistas. Who was "more flexible" after his Re-election? Obamy.

of course "Rudeness" might be warranted. I feel "Rude" myself towards Rats, democRats & rinoRats.

and this USSA is certainly not ruled by communist jews!

"Who" has complete control over all our politicians? "Who" has all our new members of Congress sign allegiance to Israel when they first get in? "Who" is pushing all the foul, destructive agendas we are subject to today? The Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, Bidens, and even Trump all take their marching orders from Israel. And yes, the Russians were rude, generally, if someone comes up and politely asks you a question at a bank, you don't shut the window in their face, or maybe you do.

Actually "Sign" an allegiance to Israel ??? Not buying that one, though Jews are an exclusive Tribe, but so are Muslims. "American" foreign policy has tilted towards Iran under democRats that are controlled by Jews??? I'm missing that explanation.

Many people around the world Do Not like Americans, for some reasons, not just Russians.

Sadly so. If elections no longer work, what's left? Poland's nationwide strike in 1989? Maybe. But aging patriots with their dusty rifles, against 10 million young, motivated illegals who are promised citizenship and a bounty for every citizen's head. armed with military weapons we can only dream of, a kinetic battle may produce disappointing results.

You can't spend a bounty in a grave. They'll figure that out pretty quickly. Look at it from their side, some government comes to you and makes that proposal, "all you have to do is go out and kill Americans, who are famously armed to the teeth and spend billions on marksmanship ranges, camouflage, etc. In return, we'll give you citizenship in a nation that rigs the vote and sends people out to kill whoever falls out of favor." I'm not tempted by it, anyway.

Pavel Durov founded Telegram. He's Russian. The Russian government insisted that Durov use Russian computer servers for his Telegram network. Durov knew that the Russian government would then see all communications on Telegram, so he left Russia and gave up his Russian citizenship.

Durov has UAE and French passports.

Telegram is used by 1 billion people and governments to pass on encrypted information as well as post articles from all viewpoints.

The CIA wants access to those government encrypted messages on Telegram. So the CIA had the French arrest Durov when his private plane landed in France.

Why governments have to use Telegram to communicate with encrypted messages is beyond me, but that's the story I heard on the Ron Paul Liberty Report today.

The CIA could just hack into the Telegram fiber optic cables and read the encrypted messages, but I reckon that the CIA is lazy and figures it is easier to just squeeze Durov for access.

Waay back in my mispent youth, while still enduring "college", one of the only professors that I can still remember taught a mandatory Political Science class. He was, of course, a hopelessly romantic Marxist, red Lincoln beard and all. He introduced the class one day the the concept of Political Legitimacy, and to this day it is the only thing I really recall from those few Halcyon years. I am sure that they don't teach that any longer, as what we endure today is a crumbling of the Institutions of America, and indeed Western Civilization, by the machinations of a totally illegitimate Government.

I will, for purposes of expedience, date the Destruction of America to the Installation of the Kenyan in 2008, marking the first overt sign that our government was no longer legitimate. It has only scaled its illegitimacy exponentially in the nearly two decades since, and now represents full blown (fly-blown?) madness and insanity. The electoral victory of PDJT in 2016 took it by surprise, and they ramped up the illegitimacy asymptotically in the years since, culminating in the Covid Coup and the destruction of PDJT, followed by the most fraudulent Election in the history of Western Civilization in the time since.

I conciously and publicly withdrew my Consent to this fraud following 2008. Political Legitimacy informs the Consent of the People to submit and participate in Civil Government, and is a necessary prerequisite to the existence of a functioning Republic. Now, the only "function" remaining is the perpetuation of absolute power, and the instantiation of Communism thru Genocide. An illegitimate Government, installed thru Fraud and Force, deserves no allegiance, and cannot be consented to without a total, abject surrender of your Agency and Liberty in its face.

Withdraw your Consent, deny the Illegitimate Power, and look to the Founders for First Principles required to Abolish, Re-form, and shepard legitimate government back into its Constitutionally constrained fold. Sheep Dogs wanted, and needed.

Thank you, T.L., I always enjoy your work. Keep at it, Sir!

My husband and I were talking this over this morning, and he thinks that if Trump gets in, it will on for young and old with Antifa and BLM. If the two commies get it, it will cartel gangs and Chinese. Remember, every single Chinese here has their first loyalty to China. We have a several million man Chinese army here already. This is why the Chinese want us disarmed, so they can take over here with minimum casualties. And don't come out with 'You better learn Mandarin', they have absolutely no use for any of us other than as fertilizer or maybe some prime cuts in the butcher shop. They would be only too happy to move their dingy, ugly hordes in here and move right into our houses and apartments.

I figure the cities would erupt out into the countryside and then we'd really be seeing some battles. I don't know if the die off would be 90%, but it would be significant. I would hope that if the grid went down, the US would nuke the crap out of China, we should have let the Russians do it when LBJ was president and they wanted to. If we're going down we can take those yellow worms with us.

I can commensurate with you, but nuking the human race to kill those of Us who are insane is also insanity.

20% of a population are sufficiently Degraded to follow the 2% in their Death Cult.Coups on the rest of Us just wanting to live and have decent liveswith our families and fellow human beings.

And our WWII military, i e Gen. Stilwell in the Burma theater, screwed Gen. Chiang Kai-shek by sending him broken arms and military equipment, when Kai-shek had been promised excellent arms in return for helping the nationalist Chinese against the Japanese.

Had we properly armed and equipped him, China would not have been conquered by Mao.

Apologies up front for this lengthy comment. On August 25, Mark Levin laid out the conditions necessary to kill democracy. I transcribed his slide points (with some of my own edits) and a link to his talk below. The first 13 minutes is were he describes the condition. As we have all stated, it is WE the People who must take back our country. We cannot leave it to (put your expletive here) politicians or bureaucrats. ONLY WE can do this.

Credit to Mark Levin: This is probably the single best video (the first 13 minutes) available describing what is happening to our country. It shows all the elements necessary to KILL DEMOCRACIES! Listen to each point, and decide for yourself if each one is happening here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TCXJ7b6t84

I’ve drawn my conclusions. I’ll be interested in hearing yours.

Here are the main points from the slides:

1. Repress the people; be subtle

2. Exploit the people to advance authoritarianism

3. Cripple opposition, but don’t kill it so you can still say you have a two party system

4. Capture societal institutions; media & academia

5. Dominate all branches of government so you can say you still have separation of powers, but you control

6. Create electoral systems that gives you the illusion of democracy

7. Dominate media - oligarchical control of the media

8. Control security forces - internal, external, police, fed LE, sheriffs

9. Control key elements of the economy

10. Rewrite the history of the country

11. Make sure the party is more important than the country

12. Plow through institutional checks & balances using regulations, rules, executive orders, etc. dismiss due process

13. Define all your repressive acts as democratic

14. Maintain control of our electoral processes through DEI, ESG, Racial division, etc.

15. Create the illusion of competitive elections - bypass congress with executive orders etc.

16. Create a massive administrative state

17. Restrict free speech

18. Rewrite OUR language

19. Impose beliefs & thought processes

20. Rewrite THE language - different from 18 above

21. Impose new belief systems

22. Brainwash and conduct thought control measures

23. Re-engineer society and the person - sexual, corporate, church, family country, etc.

24. Bloat the government

25. Eliminate private business that does not comport with the values of the gov’t

26. Tax, Tax, Tax everything

27. Government controls everything.

HAS EVERY ONE OF THESE HAPPENED HERE?

as well as your piece.

It's all Statements of the Obvious and the Macro is becoming the Micro, What We Do for Ourselves in Our Environment with Our Kith & Kin is the bottom line.

I'm voting for Trump hoping and clearing my conscience at the same time to have No Regrets for whatever comes next.....
