“The lesser evil is still evil … Indeed, the safest road to Hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” ~ C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
Where we go after last week’s election is anybody’s guess, but I don’t expect it to be as great as many pundits seem to believe it will be. The damage that’s been done is already massive, and it will take decades to repair, with Trump only having less than four years to attempt it via Big Government solutions that are certain to continue to exacerbate the status quo.
Part of the problem is the people keep screaming for Big Government and whoever’s in charge to “Do something” … anything … as if most of the problems we already have aren’t as a direct result of asinine “government solutions“, and as if Big Government has ever really solved any of America’s problems. And those in power and currently running for office keep promising the moon and a pot of gold and Lucky Charms at the end of the rainbow.
If Kamala had pulled out the “win” or “the steal” … well hell … don’t make me cuss – it would have been all over and the drawing and quartering of America will be served up on a platter to Her enemies, both foreign and domestic.
In my humble opinion, had Kamala won the election – even legitimately – it would have been time to throw sand in the gears of government at every level and start engaging in a campaign of guerrilla warfare the likes of which was seen in Ireland during the early 1900s on through the 1970s and The Troubles.
Trump won, and his administration will definitely find unique means to jump start the economy, some by means of manipulations with short term results and one, his assurance to crank up drilling for oil and natural gas and mining coal, will have immediate and long term benefits if they aren’t rescinded by some later commie regime seeking to enact carbon credit taxes and shut fossil fuels down again.
But liberty and our freedoms will not necessarily be in better hands, given what we all saw during his first term, and much remains to be seen, especially when it comes to who will be in his cabinet. ~ J.O.S.
FUBAR: The Two Party System Doesn’t Serve America
Presidential fools, Kamala sycophants, mainstream media reds, general media pundits and all the usual numb, nimwitted newswits are already trying to gaslight all America by repeatedly chanting their new mantra, that tomorrow’s election is “the Most Secure Election in American History” as they add the refrain, “Don’t worry, Folks, ’cause it’s all gonna turn out just like it’s suppose, just as you want.”
Today [11-4-24], an online poster, who goes by the pseudonym of Framius Geriatricus, wrote:
“I’m picking up a dominion vibe. See, they know we know [about the way Dominion’s voting machines are rigged], but I don’t know if they know we know they know. So what? Ninety million ‘voates’ for The Red Queen? Does that pass the stink test for anyone, and do they really care? They just passed that DOD directive that says it’s legal for them to do illegal stuff. Posse Comitatus? We don’t need no stinkin’ Posse Comitatus!! Watchyou gonna do about it? – On the other hand, I recognize my own paranoid nature and I’m hoping like hell I’m wrong. – Red wave Murika 2024!!!“
Everybody in America is rightly deeply concerned over the state of our economy and their inability to just make ends meet and just live. And yes, it is terribly important that we get our economy smoking hot and flying down the rails towards real prosperity for all, but the American people have yet to learn and properly understand that opportunity – that “opportunity economy” Kamala so dreamily mentions and promises to deliver via Big Government policy directives – comes from growing and expanding individual liberty and the decentralization of government, not by growing Big Government even BIGGER at the expense of States’ Rights and the individual’s Inalienable God-Given Rights, as Democrat Party Communists are always so wont to do. It doesn’t matter how many worthless fiat dollars one has if the supply chain is intentionally broken and crippled by way of policy and those dollars buy next to nothing, and they mean absolutely nothing, if it means one must live like a caged pet under the thumbs of tyrants, while their culture and heritage is destroyed.
Today, under the current regime, all the powers of all three branches of government have been hijacked and commandeered under the Executive Branch, while the Supreme Court is largely dismissed or ignored outright by the tyrant wannabes; and yet, the advocates for the current status quo of fascism on all political fronts aided by corporate fascists and communists point to our hallowed “democracy”, delivering broad declarative statements on the need and their desire to “save our democracy” – the republic be damned, as the fundamental transformation of America proceeds without caution or care. And they congratulate one another in absurd manners for its supposed grandeur, oblivious or ignorant to the fact that it has become – as the tyrant Abe Lincoln proved once and for all – a system that demands the submission of all and the absolute obedience of all, as the duplicitous bastard spoke of a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people”, even as he directed General Sherman to make war against Southern civilians and leave them dead and starving to make his point, because they refused to bend their knees to him.
Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are statists and proponents of Big Government, embracing Big Brother, if with different approaches and different machinations in mind. America on the whole must look beyond these presidential candidates and this election cycle, as Her people try to find a path through this political malaise and the worst political discord we have ever seen in the country since 1857, in order to find the answers and solutions for Her salvation and the preservation of freedom and liberty for all future generations.
This election cycle is simply a way station, where we either keep trudging along, business as usual, towards tyranny, or we take a different path for a change, taking our country back to Her roots, and actually return to our Founding virtues and principles which have always, in years past, supported and defended the highest degree of individual liberty for all people and a way of life that made America great and can and will make Her great again.
Hint: Neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris represent this path.
Both the GOP and the Democrat Party are fouled up beyond all recognition as any effective conduits for freedom and liberty for the people, because they are statist at their core, serving themselves and the State – the Leviathan – rather than ‘We the People’.
It’s hard to understand how anyone can truly believe staying the course aligned with a fascist agenda that’s been in play for over one hundred years defends their freedoms or helps them to achieve their own prosperity, when in fact it has turned a State – our Federal Government – that was supposed to serve the people into an entity that now demands the people serve it and its Marxist-Maoist goals, with its leaders acting as tyrants at every opportunity.
Keep the bread and circuses flowing hard and the welfare system pumping out billions and trillions of dollars’ worth benefits and “free stuff” and millions of Americans remain just like hogs crowding onto a field baited with corn and sourdough biscuits, as the farmer builds a pen around them, in preparation to slaughter them, as they gorge themselves on their bounty, fat and happy right up until the .22 round enters their heads.
Building a prosperous economy doesn’t come by way of the government. That’s done solely by way of industrious and ingenuous people. And in fact, all government has ever done is inhibit business through too many rules and regulations, other than when it has illegally protected those businesses deemed “too big to fail” or subsidized its cronies in Big Business with OUR MONEY because it served Big Government’s interests and those interests of the CORRUPT LEADERS slurping at its trough.
To “make America great again” and enable the economy to take off and grow, all Americans need do is to GET BIG GOVERNMENT’S Hands OFF of It and start throwing Congressmen under the prisons for accepting bribes from lobbyists that ultimately go against the people’s interests and bring great harm to America, e.g. Traitor Joe’s and Mitch McConnell’s self-enriching, backdoor side deals with China.
And while both parties so often put on a great front of having differences on all the major issues of the day, too often we see them act in such a way that gives real credence to the suspicions many Americans hold that we are actually being ruled, rather than governed, by a “Uniparty”.
Without limiting the sixe of our government and eradicating all of its unnecessary and unconstitutional agencies and the unconstitutional changes to our government from the Wilson, FDR and Johnson eras, our national debt – having leaped from $16 trillion in 2012 to nearly $36 trillion today – will continue to increase exponentially by leaps and bounds, government will continue to expand unnecessarily and grow its power in the process, and individual liberty, now virtually dead and gone, will actually become fully suppressed under an ever more intrusive, surveillance-directed, Big Brother authoritarian Super-Socialist State – the Leviathan, fatter, bigger and deadlier than at any time in history.
Anyone with a few years behind them can attest to the validity of this assertion if they are honest with themselves and their countrymen, since we have seen so much of our individual liberty already destroyed and trampled upon since 1970 to the present, especially once the powers that be, the Deep State, decided it was just fine to suspend liberty in the face of any “major health concerns”. And in a matter of a rather short fifty years or so – POOF – your freedoms and liberties are now subject to the whims and arbitrary diktats of fat ass know-nothing bureaucrats and any president evil or dumb enough to follow along.
Look beyond this election cycle and work for an America where everybody truly lives free from government overreach and unconstitutional intrusions into our daily lives. Work for an America where “justice” really does mean justice for all, no matter one’s social standing or financial bearing, a system where Lady Justice never peeks under Her blindfold at the behest of some illiberal, anti-American commie or globalist and every American truly is “equal under the law”. Work like hell to end the current double standard of “the law” that has insidiously penetrated the judiciary to be used as a weapon against political opponents.
In the years ahead, if we don’t end up fighting a civil war, much work is left to be done regarding the security and integrity of our elections, and already, we are once again seeing voter fraud in the swing states from several different avenues, as the federal government even went so far as to sue the State of Virginia to stop Governor Youngkin from removing illegal alien invaders for the state’s voter rolls. But, as the people attempt to ensure the integrity of their own respective state’s election process and consider their votes, if they believe them to be worth anything at the moment, they must vote, not so much for a party’s agenda, but rather for those good and decent men and women, those candidates, who actually stand and defend freedom and individual liberty, the Bill of Rights and our Inalienable God-Given Rights. On every issue, they must consider and analyze whether or not passing any bill will preserve and enable individual liberty to grow and flourish or harm and erode it in such a way that damages the entire nation.
For far too long, the trend in America has driven us towards the dark abyss of tyranny and the cold chains of serfdom bound to the alter of the Super-Socialist State, where our rights are scoffed over, ridiculed and essentially spit upon.
I don’t know how anyone else may perceive our current status quo, regardless of who wins this election, but I know what Thomas Jefferson would think. He’d have called for us to water the tree of liberty with the blood of the tyrants years ago. We delay and tarry at our own peril and at great risk to freedom and liberty in America, as one compromise after another is made with our enemies and evil and the very entities seeking our demise — compromises made that should be rejected, compromises of the kind that can no longer be tolerated by Free Born Americans.
