The trouble I find with conservatives in general and America First people is their demand that everything be pure and sparkling with virtue. This tendency is what allowed the feds and Democrats to manipulate the January 6th protest into a riot and subsequently into an insurrection. The immediate response to the horrible events described on that date by a well-known corrupt media should have been: No, it isn’t a riot, it isn’t an insurrection, it’s a peaceful demonstration.
I noticed on the very day of the event, listening on the radio (probably a federal charge under this DOJ) that the reporting went from: “It’s amazing how many people came out to support Donald Trump and protest the obviously crooked 2020 election” to “It’s shameful for these protesters to violate the sanctified halls of congress” in fifteen minutes, by the same broadcaster. That’s a lack of situational awareness and a desire for liberal acceptance.
If it had been a Democrat-backed event, it would have been justified by the anguish felt by the people for the demise of democracy and the failure of the election system. That narrative would have remained had they been executing representatives on the mall. How do I know this? Because of the coverage of the George Floyd riots that, with flames in the background, they had the audacity to proclaim it a “mostly peaceful protest” despite the fact that murders had been committed within the “autonomous” zones with no accountability at all, no sudden change in demeanor of the broadcaster.
They have effectively weaponized the concept of patriotism, changing the definition of patriotism to the Constitution and individual rights that America has always stood for into terrorism and extremism. Logically, that means that communism and fascism i.e., coordinated attacks against the people by government and corporations, is the preferred and natural system of governance in America and to oppose that by preferring anything else is treason and rebellion.
They are already pushing A.I. as superior and predictive intelligence, suggesting at the meeting in Davos the irrelevancy of elections, because A.I. would know the outcome of any election, as if Artificial Intelligence is somehow brought to us from the gods, infallible and unquestionable. It is not, it is still of Man, of human intellect. It did not spring from the earth like lava, creating something new and pure to guide Mankind along a beneficial and benevolent path toward some form of immortality, it’s just a computer model, code and algorithms.
When A.I. comes across words like racism, liberty and freedom, it still gives those words value that has been assigned by the code, not from its own celestial discernment. Those values assigned to it can make good evil and evil good. Since the billionaire globalists control A.I., guess which values will be infused in that code.
We have already allowed them to back nationalism and populism into a corner, framing it solely on Trump and his behavior and approval, but it isn’t just Trump. They know that. There were several outbursts at Davos that suggested that more of the world’s leaders are starting to see through the manipulation, the failure and fraudulency of their proposals. Green Energy is being exposed and rejected, the whole house of cards can be brought to collapse, if we just continue to push, continue to resist, but the first thing we have to resist is the tendency to seek acceptance; to be seen as congenial participants in a crooked system; believing that holding onto our own decency will somehow overpower their wickedness. That’s the Christian viewpoint that they have weaponized to destroy us. There needs to be the understanding of “now that we have slain the wicked, we will demonstrate God’s forgiveness.” First, though, we have to slay the wicked.
Nationalist populism is a term popularized by Steve Bannon and is the very essence of America First. Nationalism is the opposite of globalism. One has to believe in one or the other, at least in the conflict that rages. Elements of globalism concerning trade and defense can work to combat consortiums against a single nation, but it must be used only to secure borders and to defend the nations involved, otherwise it is useless and destructive. The effects of letting globalist elements overtake the ultimate goal of nationalism is the world we live in now. Their reasoning is that globalism prevents war, because there are no nations, no borders, no national pride to be driven to antagonism. The fallacy of that pretense is that without nations there will not be wars, only oppression, suppression and genocidal rationalizations for the greater good.
I was once engaged in front of my home by a preacher of some sort pushing his brochures on the unsuspecting and when I refused the brochure he asked me this: “Don’t you want world peace?” My answer was this: “No, absolutely not. There is only peace when freedom has been obliterated.”
The freedom to express oneself will always offend someone else, lead to conflict and war. The only way to secure peace is to eliminate freedom of speech. But no one ever asks the obvious question: under what conditions does humanity suffer to secure the peace?
This is our challenge. Hate Trump all you want, but he is the international symbol of nationalist populism, the counter to globalism. Is he controlled opposition? I don’t know and I don’t care. That’s irrelevant in the worldwide struggle against a one world government, those in Davos, the WHO and the WEF. Javier Milei is not my hero, but he has demonstrated remarkable resolution to do the things necessary for Argentina’s survival and ultimate return to greatness and to push back against globalism.
Again, nothing is pure and virtuous, we don’t live in those times, if they have ever existed at all. There is better and there is worse and that’s the choice we have, the only choice. Trump may not be a saint, neither is Milei, neither is Orban. There are no saints, but there are demons and whatever it takes to fight off the globalists, the UN, the WHO, the WEF, I’ll take. I support whatever advances the cause of freedom even an inch, but it cannot be the only source of our salvation. If the French want to fight over retirement rates and they engage their globalist leaders, I’ll take it. If Germany wants to fight their globalist leaders over farming rights, I’ll take it. Nikki Haley certainly is not the answer for America, not even a partial advancement, she’s a step backward toward globalist establishment Republican territory.
If you want freedom, you’re going to get dirty. By all evidence, we are mere steps away from a global war. I believe the Western powers will lose it, that when it starts the U.S. will have its legs ripped out from under it by the nearly one million foreign fighters who have been allowed to infiltrate the U.S. through Biden’s traitorous open borders. That’s when the internal fighting will begin while the military is busy getting annihilated overseas. I am less convinced of a nuclear exchange because I don’t think either Russia or China believe they need to resort to it and there is no one in the United States chain of command who believes enough in the righteousness of America to use them to defend it. We will suffer, I believe, a massive EMP from which we will never recover, but if we are able to recover, it will be without the oppressive government bureaucracy on our backs, the irrational and unworkable green solution.

One main reason I started reading you and became a member is ya'll have done superior work in 'profiling' them, and us. You have taken their measure, as they have so sadly and effctively taken ours. It's been an abiding mystery to me for years, how 'they' have found our weak spots and so efficiently perverted the natural instincts of motherhood, compassion, fairness and those of conscience including shame and guilt to have utterly reduced 'us' to sniveling Stockholm-syndromed suicide drones.
But, you seem to have them well-profiled too with great predictive ability.
On to tangibles, yes - while our 'fighters' whip at them with laced handkerchiefs they whip at us with feces-covered everything. The only real fight-with-venom 'our side' has performed has whatever they can do to harm their own constituents.
