You might have heard about Ryan Carson getting killed in New York – a Progressive activist, it appears he was killed by a random lunatic over nothing; the lunatic likely being high at the time. After reading the story my reaction was to post on X that I simply felt no sympathy. Trying to express it, I brought up that scene at the end of The Cowboys where the boys are standing around the bad guy pinned under his horse with a broken leg; my reaction is like that. Not hating. Not gloating. But not caring; the person on the ground chose this.
It ended up being one of the most engaged posts I’ve ever done on X. As of this moment, it has more than 155,000 views; 20 reposts and more than a thousand likes. And lots of comments. The basic Left comment is that I’m a horrific bastard; un-Christian (always amusing to get that comment from avowed Marxists!); evil; hate-filled. I shouldn’t cheer death. Which, of course, I didn’t. I merely pointed out that I had no sympathy. Most of the Left comments got no response from me (a huge numbers of comments were blocked). But I did engage some people who seemed to be trying to say something. Unfortunately, in the end, they had nothing to say and were just doing polite variations on “you bastard” that the less articulate went with.
I think the reaction all stems from the fact that the Left in general but also many people on the right don’t know what morality is. Basic right and wrong is very confused in their minds. You see – and this is especially true in a Republic – everyone bears responsibility. None of us ever get to stand aside. What we choose as individuals – both by action and omission – goes to make up the corporate decision of the whole body politic. We are not – at least in theory – ruled. If we were, then we could assign blame for many things to our rulers. Such is not the case; we are free (pro tempore). As such, we must ensure that as far as possible our choices tend towards furtherance of liberty, peace and prosperity. You woke up this morning and you decided not to get drunk. Because of this decision, you went to work instead of passing out on the floor. Because you went to work, your job got done which allowed other people to get their job done and so on. Just that one, small decision rattles on and on through our society for good or ill.
So, too, the bad decision. Had you decided to get drunk, your job doesn’t get done and so on. And there’s no excuse. Unless you are a minor incapable of reason or verily insane, you know very well what you are supposed to do and you also can understand, if you but put some effort into it (said effort you are morally bound to make), the likely results of your decisions. The drunk knows full well – or, if he doesn’t, he ought to know; he has an inescapable obligation to know – what bad things are likely to result from the choice to drink rather than go to work. This is why when the drunk loses his job and house and the Mrs leaves him we’re not terribly sympathetic, if at all, to his plight. What on Earth did he think was going to happen?
Well, it goes like that for every decision. One of Carson’s pet projects – one of the things he advocated for – was “safe” places for drug addicts to get high. From what I can determine, he asserted this as a merciful and kind service to drug addicts. Here’s where a lot of people will reject what I say: Carson was lying when he made that assertion. He knew full well that the only proper course of action to take with someone who gets high is to get them to stop. To be sure, none of us may be able to stop any particular person from getting high, but if we can’t actively stop it, we must certainly not abet it. Because we all know what happens when people get high; they ruin their lives and wreck destruction on the lives of everyone who comes into contact with them to a greater or lesser degree. There is no upside to drug addiction. It is all downside. Every person who gets high makes life for everyone else in society worse. If Carson were to be able to assert to my face this very day that he thought it was good to give a “safe” place to get high I would not take the coward’s way out and go, “well, your heart is in the right place”. His heart was not in the right place. It was in an evil, wicked place. I would call him a liar because as a mentally competent adult he knows you can’t properly help someone get high.
So, too, with a host of other Leftist nostrums: de-fund the police; ending cash bail; de-criminalizing looting; false accusations of racism. These are not the actions of people who have their heart in the right place. These are the actions of evil people who know full well they are doing evil. Their only way out of being wicked is to proclaim themselves simpletons and surrender their franchise. If they aren’t idiots, then they know you can’t do things like de-criminalize looting and expect anything other than more looting to occur. Looting is bad. There is never any justification for it. Society cannot function if the products of labor can be taken without compensation. Carson, from what I can tell, backed all of these Leftist programs. Given he is of the Left – and the way the Left enforces ideological conformity – we can with great certainty assume that every aspect of Leftist ideology was supported by Carson. And what this means – as small time as he was in the grand scheme of things – he was a willing, knowing participant in policies which are obviously evil. Policies which make life miserable – and especially for poor people who are not insulated from the results of Leftist policy.
So, when Carson was killed by a crazed person likely high, all I saw was a bit of poetic justice. Just like the bad guy in the movie now suffering…the bottom line is he was suffering because of what he tried to do. People like Carson – upper class, white, urban Progressives – have mostly been insulated from the effects of their policies. But that insulation crumbles as civilization at last crumbles under the Leftist assault. We’re now several generations in; the inculcating of barbarian ideals into the minds of people has taken its toll. Its why we see those videos of people getting into brawls over nothing or packs of feral children mercilessly beating a weaker person. This is what Leftists wanted. Heck, they told us it would be great – if we just got past our old, Christian hang-ups and embraced a society of free flowing drugs and sex everything would be wonderful. This world we live in is a Progressive world. It is what they wanted. We never approved of it. We warned repeatedly what would happen. We were ignored on the best days and viciously slandered on most. And, so, when a cog in that Progressive machine runs afoul of his own actions…sure, I’m going to watch impassively. I’m not going to shed a tear. Why should I? Should I shed a tear for the drunk who is killed driving his car into a telephone pole?
Sure it is bad that he’s dead. I’d rather he hadn’t died. I am going to do my best to build a world where such things don’t happen. But, guess what? In fighting for that world, I’ll have to battle through a host of people like Carson who will fight tooth and nail to keep the system which killed him. It is still what they want. They are still lying; still saying that if we just get more Progressive, it will at last get better. They know it won’t. They don’t care; no person with the least bit of humane feeling can be a Leftist. It is how they become Leftists; they kill genuine sympathy; they kill off anything resembling love. They come to view all people are entirely utilitarian…and that is why they can say, “hey, lets help junkies get high”. They don’t see a suffering soul who will spread suffering…they see a block of wood with appetite, just as they see themselves. And as their only measure is to feed their own appetites, so their only reaction to another person is to figure out how to feed their appetites. You want drugs? Here are some drugs. You want sex? Here is some sex. Never for a moment is there the thought of repenting because, indeed, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
So, thanks very much, I’ll save my sympathy for the real victims – the usually poor or middle class people who have been suckered by the Left and who are diligently ruining their lives because of it. They still have agency, of course; but at least they aren’t actively destroying society. So when one of them runs afoul of our dying Progressive society, I will shed a tear – I will express sympathy. But for one of the Leftist architects of destruction? Not a chance. They got what they wanted – that what they want sucks isn’t my problem.
As a side note; after more than a day of Leftists calling me an insensitive bastard for not expressing sympathy for Carson’s demise it came out that in his own X account he was free with advocating violence against his opponents and had gloated over the death of Rush Limbaugh. I did not know this at the time I wrote my post. It does not surprise me in the least. As I’ve said: the Left is wicked. They are not nice people with misguided programs to get to peace, freedom and prosperity. They are wicked people doing evil things to destroy society…and they do it because they are wicked. You really don’t have to explain it beyond that.
I thought the Carson murder was horrific and I do feel a bit sorry for him. I think a lot of these young indoctrinated Leftists are just mindless products of their sub culture and surroundings and he appeared to have a privileged life growing up and probably suffered few hardships. No one taught him right from wrong, and most importantly, no one taught him how to be a man and fight. Carson was twice the size of the little puke and if he knew how to fight, he would still be alive. Bad things happen when good men do nothing.
The Democrat coalition is falling apart. Things have gotten so bad that Mayorkas and Biden are now forced to build “barriers” at the border (can’t say wall), while AOC is now calling them extremists.
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez shamed Biden and urged him to ‘reverse course’ after he launched new stretches of border barriers, a signature policy of Donald Trump that Biden previously decried. ‘A wall does nothing to stop people fleeing poverty and violence from coming to the United States,’

The two tired justice system was on full display yesterday. The Soros funded DA in Philadelphia is hesitant to charge the mob of looters claiming that many of these crimes are “one offs” … meaning no prior criminal activity so he is reluctant to prosecute.

Mark, you and I think so much alike it’s kind of scary.

The article says “alleged,” so we don’t know if it’s even true.
It is almost certainly untrue. Any such accusation must be treated as a known lie unless absolute proof is provided.
Well it seems that attorney Tom Renz and I are on the same page here … he says exactly what I have tried to say the last couple days
With due respect to a couple guys I normally like their reaction is bulls&$t. Mark Levin and Newt Gingrich are out bashing Matt Gaetz and the other seven Republicans that had the courage to what no one else would do by standing on principle. …. Let me start by sharing my position – we cannot sacrifice principles for a party that, even when it held both parties and had a Republican president in 2016, could not repeal ObamaCare (without which we would not have had the COVID debacle but that’s another story). We have CBDCs coming, a world on the brink of war, a wide open border with military age men from all our enemy nations pouring through, a weaponized justice system holding patriots in prison with nothing approaching a fair trial, rampant election fraud, the destruction of health freedom, a collapsing economy, Donald Trump (republicans presidential front runner btw) being attacked by corrupt prosecutors, and Speaker Kevin McCarthy did NOTHING to negotiate ANY sort of legitimate deal on ANY of these issues before increasing the debt ceiling or passing the latest spending bill… And speaking of the spending bill – where were Newt and Levin in screaming at McCarthy for partnering with Democrats on that?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/tom-renz-party-principles-what-is-happening-levin/
Ah, “principles”. Such a handy term. When we fail because we failed to understand the real problem we can always smugly announce that at least we still have our “principles”—implying, of course, that the other side doesn’t.
I remember a few years ago here when I first espoused my Big Tent theory and said as far as I was concerned, if a woman was a high priestess of Wicca who wanted to marry her girlfriend and start an abortion clinic she was a conservative if she believed in a federal government restricted as to size, scope and power with more authority left to the states or to the people. That is, I narrowed a POLITICAL decision to POLITICAL principles.
And then Principles Crowd rushed in, all flustered and scoldy, saying “I won’t be in a party with people like that because I have PRINCIPLES”. They still have those principles and drag them out to caress them while watching the other side get sworn in.
Renz does the same thing we have seen here on the blog: Go back through the litany of problems as if we don’t know them and give a condescending Kamala Harris-style lecture on what they are and why they matter. But of course—this is what you do when only you grasp the situation and only you have PRINCIPLES. The narcissism of these scolds never ceases to amaze: They are the only ones who understand the problem and they are the only ones with PRINCIPLES. So they sneer at us from the pinnacle of their assumed moral and intellectual superiority: THEY represent “courage”, meaning those who don’t agree with them are cowards: THEY have principles, meaning those who don’t agree with them don’t.
Didn’t a lot of the success of the Reagan years and the Contract With America come about because we (gasp! boo! hiss!) “partnered with the Democrats”? And BTW, wasn’t the Gaetz coup made possible by “partnering with the Democrats”?
And, as usual, Mr. Principles illustrates his principles by simply lying to try to shore up his position. He says Speaker Kevin McCarthy did NOTHING to negotiate ANY sort of legitimate deal on ANY of these issues before increasing the debt ceiling or passing the latest spending bill.” Sorry, Renz, but you can’t get away with that crap in a world where we have been watching the former Speaker trying to negotiate a legitimate deal. Now why was it that this didn’t pass? Oh, yes, the PRINCIPLED Members refused to vote for it.
Another basis for the breathless defense of Gaetz, et al, is that after all McCarthy didn’t solve all the problems of the country with his shaky four-vote majority. Of course, you/they have to overlook what he DID accomplish, which was to rebuild a foundation upon which future House work could be doneL Matt Gaetz has been dead set on getting rid of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. He stood opposed to McCarthy’s ascension from the start, even when the fight for appropriations bills, conservatives on the rules committee, and other giveaways empowered conservatives and forced a return to the functions of the chamber as it was meant to be run.
But Gaetz did not appear interested in that fight. He was interested in fighting McCarthy and that was it. That fight continued into this weekend and early this week.
Sorry, but a smug self-congratulatory guy preening over his PRINCIPLES doesn’t carry much weight with me.
I understand that the preening over how PRINCIPLED some people are doesn’t leave much room for other things, but this is one of the things that no doubt influenced the 207 Members of the House who did not vote to oust McCarthy, and the millions who thought it was foolish grandstanding, symbolic of a big change but essentially meaningless.
By Duke:
This is something so common sense that it’s hard to believe that we’re still talking about it in 2023.
However, we are discussing a body politic in Washington, DC, that treats common sense like sunlight treats a vampire. They seemingly run from it as fast as they can, and this is not just Democrats but some Republicans as well as this is a common theme among all of them.
I know there was a moment within my lifetime when individual appropriation bills were still being done, and we weren’t having the hodgepodge of funding bills on top of funding bills to get something passed to keep everything moving. But this ended a very long time ago and there’s a reason why.
Individual Appropriations are much easier to scrutinize than having to go through 1,500 or 2,000 pages of something dumped on you at 2:00 in the morning.
Now this is in my opinion only my opinion is why 9 percent of Congress is totally happy with this because stuffed inside those bills are things that they can go back home to the taxpayer and say, “Look at what I did.” Ultimately every congressperson is judged on how much bacon they bring back from the slaughterhouse of Washington, DC.
Now the reason why this will not change under the new speaker is because of a little process that is hardly ever talked about called reconciliation.
The act as defined by the Congressional Budget Office:
Budget reconciliation is an expedited process for considering bills that would implement policies embodied in a Congressional budget resolution. Since 1980, the first year the process took place, many laws have been enacted through budget reconciliation—for example, the 2017 tax act (Public Law 115-97) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2). This page shows CBO’s publications related to the reconciliation process that has occurred since the fall of 2021, pursuant to the budget resolution for fiscal year 2022 (S. Con. Res. 14). That process culminated in the enactment of P.L. 117-169 on August 22, 2022.
The Senate loves reconciliations and currently a Democrat from New York, Chuck Schumer, is the Senate Majority Leader. So whatever bill or resolution comes out of the House has to be reconciled in conference with the Senate, and they are not going to move off this process.
So you can have a government shutdown, and I’m not one of these people who is going to fret that federal employees are not going to be able to do the work of their overlords in Washington, DC, and cry over it. However, I have been through a couple of government shutdowns, and the media does a wonderful job of painting the Republicans as the bad guys. So no matter who is the Speaker—Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, Donald Trump, or any name you want to throw in there—they will be forced to do this process, and if they decide not to, they will get a noose wrapped around their neck politically and the independents in this country will blame the GOP.
Now I understand many supporters of what Matt Gates did yesterday are fine with this but you have to recall that for every action there is a consequence, and if you were willing to do this 13 months out of the next national election, don’t be surprised when it goes south in November 2024.
That noose will no doubt mean the next Speaker, now being touted as the guy who will “make it all better”, will be vulnerable to another coup when some Member needs publicity or a distraction or just wants to act out a grudge, because he will be fighting the same legislative speed bumps McCarthy has been faced with, with the same squishy RINOs who can’t be counted on to back their party.
These headlines this morning do nothing but encourage open warfare in the United States … I think that’s what the Left wants and and they just might get it
– Judge Engeron outlines next steps for dissolving Trump’s companies in New York.
– Clinton Judge Barbara Jones will oversee ‘dissolution’…
– Hillary Clinton — ‘Trump cult members need to be reprogrammed.’
This happened yesterday …
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) responded to a question on whether he’d hold up a bill to prevent a government shutdown if it doesn’t have Ukraine funding by stating that “we’re going to do whatever we have to do to fight to make sure Ukraine funding happens and it happens in a way that gives them the unbroken resources that they need to continue to repel this Russian invasion.”
As did this …
Former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has slammed the possibility of Ukraine joining the EU, lambasting the country as massively “corrupt.”
Every American should start to seriously question why career American politicians are so committed to sending billions of tax payer money to Ukraine, all the while ignoring the needs of Maui, Ohio, Texas, etc.
If you were to ask Cory Booker why he is so dedicated to funding Ukraine, he would no doubt say it is a matter of PRINCIPLE.
It really doesn’t make any sense outside of bribery. Latest polling I’ve seen shows 41% support arming Ukraine, 35% oppose; for GOPers, 56% oppose. And you gotta know that even the support is soft…nobody is really willing to go to the mat for Ukraine…and yet here it is with massive, bi-partisan majorities supporting ever increasing aid with a rising risk of direct conflict with Russia. And my bet is even now most Ukraine supporters could not pick out the country on a map if given three tries. The armies have been battling it out on a static front for the whole summer with no substantial advance which means untold numbers of young men have been killed…and given the disparity in total military manpower (Russia 21 million, Ukraine 7 million) a war of attrition can have only one outcome. That means it is time to make peace…which, yes, means Russia is going to permanently secure some territory. But spending lives fruitlessly doesn’t commend itself to me.
But we’re going to keep paying for the expenditure of blood.
Exactly, another appalling aspect of this whole mess is that our government has no conscience in using Ukrainians as cannon fodder in their efforts to “save democracy”. Where are the peace talks?
It was leaked. Therefore it is a lie.

Well now Israel is at war. I wonder why Hamas thought they could launch the attack? Maybe because the POTUS can not string two coherent sentences together? Just a thought. But it will serve as a good distraction when China decides to go into Taiwan.

So I hear Geraldo is upset with Trump for saying illegal immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” … how are they not?? America has to get to a place where mature people can speak truth and the children STFU. Geraldo is a child.
UPDATE … I was reminded of the $6 billion Biden just gave to Iran. Biden just paid for the attack on Israel. Thanks Democrats
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.//sarc
We indirectly financed Putin’s war on the Ukrainian people when we cut off our own energy production and started funneling billions to Russia to buy their oil. Then we financed the attack on Israel by giving $6 billion to Iran. We will never know the death toll from the Covid debacle–how many died because we financed the research that developed and weaponized the virus, how many died because as a nation told people that the best ways to deal with the infection were deadly, were lethal, so they were not implemented while doctors who tried to treat people were threatened, intimidated and prosecuted. We will never know the death toll from the experimental drugs this administration forced people to take or lose their jobs and military positions and right to travel freely.
Time to question everything
Look what they do to people who expose child sex trafficking. Oh but there’s no elite pedophile rings right?? That would be a conspiracy to think that. This article here tells me the Mormon church is involved too … no surprise.
Tim Ballard does not appear on a search of the Mormon church’s internal database (inset), suggesting he may have been excommunicated. It follows allegations of sexual misconduct by at least seven women against the former CIA agent. Ballard, whose anti-trafficking exploits were turned into the hit film ‘Sound of Freedom’, is alleged to have pushed women into sharing a bed with him or showering together, telling them it was to convince traffickers they were married. Excommunication would mark a dizzying fall from grace for Ballard who had recently touted a run for the Senate.
It’s still not obvious to a lot of Americans what the Left is doing to Trump. When he prevails, either directly or on appeal, the next step will be outright violence directed against him and/or his family. Along each step of the way, his support will grow because, at heart, most Americans detest unfairness, even directed against people they don’t particularly like. I hope Trump’s security apparatus is better than the forces arrayed against him, and I hope, when all is said and done that the national sentiment turns to pursuing those who have illegally and unconstitutionally persecuted Trump, his family and his organization and giving them what they deserve.
Yesterday Hillary was given a national platform to once again say that Trump and his “MAGA extremist” supporters are a danger to the country and they need to be “reprogrammed”. When someone repeatedly tells you of their intentions, you should believe them. We are at war with Democrats. Make no mistake about that, and it could get very violent.
Make no mistake about that, and it could get very violent.
I abhor violence as a political tool, but it’s looking more and more inevitable.
I am in support of Putin in his war against the WEF and Klaus Schwab. Globalists are the real danger to this world. The New World Order is the real threat. Not Putin
World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab is a “globalist terrorist” who is “holding humanity to ransom”, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin who warned the elite that their New World Order has failed and their “days are numbered.”
A little background on Klaus Schwab and those who think like him.
That is just one hell of an article and this fact is sobering …
The ball really started rolling after a meeting at Rockefeller Foundations Bellagio Center in Italy in October 1968
They’ve been at this a long time and we are just now waking up to it. I;m beginning to think that the Ukraine war is all about protecting the globalists who have been using Ukraine as a launch pad with bio labs, sex trafficking, money laundering, etc. Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Bill Gates, etc. are direct threats to national sovereignty. Ironically, Putin could turn out to be the good guy in this war.
That would be the ultimate irony if Putin would solve the greatest threat to the planet.
Another excellent guest post on Malone’s substack this morning.
Another eye opening article. Klaus Schwab and the New World Order were behind Covid. That was their operation to test compliance. And this paragraph is what we all need to realize. 99.9% of most everyone’s intentions, is based on money. Money is the root of all evil
“Big Pharma gives a lot of money. … I was doing it because the federal government has this immunity for them. This is wrong,” Paxton said. “They didn’t test this thing. They didn’t tell us about the side effects. They had an obligation to test it, even if they weren’t liable.
But the over-riding goal of the WEF and the globalists who support it is REDUCED world population. A smaller population will be a lot easier to control, especially if you’ve weeded out the majority of those who think independently.
Any bets as to whether or not the Israeli/Hamas conflict will replace the Ukraine war as the distraction of the moment? Gonna be a tough choice for our pols as to which side to give tens of billions of dollars to. (shouldn’t be, but will be)
Oh you can bet the Squad is on the Hamas side and Democrats don’t want to mess with them. I can hear Rashida Tlaib bitching about it right now …
You ever think we might actually be living in the Matrix?
Why choose? We’ve already come in on the Ukraine side after funding Russia enough to afford attacking them. So why not give money to Israel after arming Hamas?
When the goal is a combination of global instability combined with the Cloward and Pivens strategy for the US, nothing is off the board.
Excellent point.
Damn good point
Actually, more of an accurate prediction than a point.
This describes almost perfectly where we’re at right now:
Robert Malone usually ends his Sunday Comic Strip with a video, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious. I don’t remember the movie he takes the clip from, but the description in this particular scene is still relevant over 40 years later.
This is just an excellent characterization of the urban woke Democrat
“I think that New York is the new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing they’ve built. They’ve built their own prison. And so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners, and as a result, they no longer have, having been lobotomized, the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made or to even see it as a prison.”
A few days ago I read an article that really upset me. I was going to post it here, then lost it, and if anyone here can find it I think it is well worth discussing.
The article was, on its surface, about a new way of delivering vaccinations, through the respiratory system. It started out all rah-rah about how this is a far more efficient way to get the drug into the system, and it doesn’t require an injection, and how much easier it is. You just spray an aerosolized vaccine in the face of the patient, he or she breathes it in, and that’s all it takes.
Pretty cool.
But then the whole thing went into a darker direction, as it pointed out that masses could be “vaccinated” by mass spraying. It felt darker to me, but not really to the writer, who seemed quite taken with the ability to widely disseminate drugs. Which, of course, means that people would not have a choice of whether or not to take the drug. And then, darker yet, was the commentary that this technology could be used for different kinds of “vaccinations” including drugs that make people less aggressive, less confrontational, more compliant.
This was not tinfoil-hat “conspiracy theory” stuff, but analysis of ongoing research and development.
As I have read, and participated in, the kerfluffle about the Speaker situation it has occurred to me that maybe we should do a little triage here, and start to list the dangers we face and then try to put them some kind of order based on their dangers to us and to the republic. Because when I started to think about such a list I realized that a politician who didn’t do everything he promised he would do would really be pretty far down on the list, when the list included complete domination of our nation by the Left, uncontrolled election fraud, economic and financial collapse, nuclear war, destruction of our food supplies, and now the potential for mass drug-induced passivity.
Many of us have seen the plandemic as a test, to see how compliant people would be as they are herded into behaviors that are harmful to them because of fear that the alternative is worse. We saw the incremental increase of attacks on personal liberty, accompanied by State storm trooper type actions against medical personnel who merely tried to treat patients in the ways they thought best. We saw an entire nation shut down, schools closed, businesses destroyed, and people forced to comply or lose their jobs or military positions. There’s been some pushback on this, well after the fact, but I’m struck by how little of this pushback has been based on the dictatorial stance of the State and its assumption of total control
It was a test. It was a test to see how we would react not to a disease but to the loss of freedom.
Now we have a former head of the Democrat Party brought back to the spotlight to mount another test. She announces that people who have a different political stance than the State’s should be “reprogrammed”. It’s another test, to see what kind of reaction it will get. So far, just some muttering on online forums about this sounding like Stalin, but essentially no real resistance to the idea, or outrage.
The Donald Trump persecutions are a test, and there is a little more pushback there, but so far it seems to be politically isolated, not a general societal objection to the powers of the State being used to crush political opposition.
I know we’ve discussed this here ad nauseum, but the folks who will eventually push back in a demonstrable way are still keeping their powder dry. “Don’t fire till you see the whites of their eyes” will be tested again, and in the same context as the first time (Col William Prescott at the Battle of Bunker Hill, for those of you who have forgotten). We’re not there yet, and I pray to God that we don’t get there, that sanity will prevail. But we’re not dealing with sane people.
I’m fine with having lots and lots of powder and keeping it dry till we need to use it. But I always come back to “who you gonna shoot?” The research guys making stuff to dumb us down and make us compliant? While I am a pretty aggressive person, I need to know there is a plan.
If I were to have anything to say about when to get extremely aggressive it would be about the election. That is where I would pull out all the stops, but even then can’t think of how bullets flying would make a difference.
But I always come back to “who you gonna shoot?”
The list of people I’d LIKE to shoot is nearly endless, but, in reality, I’m not going to shoot anyone who’s not shooting at me. Now, that said, if guys in white coats come to my door and say, we’re here to give you your vaccine, I will probably shoot them.
I’m not worried about being approached directly to be given the drug, but am a little worried about a program designed to weaponize psychotropic drugs to be disseminated without my knowledge or permission by drones spraying aerosolized drugs to make me easier to control.
Shoot the drones?
