Who Cares?
Todd Hayen
I constantly complain about how the sheep-folk don’t see the world falling apart around them. They don’t see the erosion of our freedom of speech rights, they don’t see children being coerced into medications and “gender-affirming” surgery, and they don’t see the unfairness in allowing men to compete in women’s sports.
They also obviously do not see the horrors of wars and of their government’s support of killing people in other countries. They don’t see dozens of other things as well: Big Pharma killing us all, the medical industry going haywire, education dumbing down our kids. They don’t see it.
And I stupidly thought that if they did see it, they would want to do something about it. Now I don’t think that. Now I think that they simply don’t care.
Someone recently commented on one of my articles here. This is what they said:
I think (hope) that, as more and more people lose everything they’ve got, resistance will become fierce. At the moment, too many of us are clinging to our well-fed middle-class status to want to rise up. Freedom comes when there’s nothing left to lose.
This is so right-on I could not have said it better myself.
People don’t care because if they did, they would risk losing their “well-fed-middle-class status.” How true. If you ask them if they care about children, they typically would say yes (unless they think you are trying to trick them into agreeing with something Trump is doing).
But if you question them further, based on their “yes” answer, they will then deny that what you are saying about children being in danger is true. They will spin whatever in the same way the media does, the threat of nuclear war in the Middle East or in Ukraine is the fault of Russia, Palestine, or, of course, the fault of Trump.
In fact, nearly everything bad in the world is the fault of Trump (or Putin).
That’s an easy one.
The war in Ukraine is Trump’s fault because he pissed off peace-lover Zelenskyy. And since Trump is in a bro-love relationship with Putin, he cannot possibly be credited with trying to negotiate a peace deal. Putin and Trump are peas in a pod, not much room in there with him, Putin, and Hitler all trying to rule the world from the inside of a pea husk. Oh, right, Hitler is dead. Oh well. May as well be alive, he has obviously been reincarnated.
There is no rhyme or reason for any of this unless you count general disagreeableness. Yeah, Trump is a bit of a dick. He is rude, rough, and doesn’t have a lot of that lovey-dovey feeling Kamala certainly had, that’s for sure. But what has he actually done as the devil incarnate other than say a bunch of strange, sometimes stupid, and sometimes insensitive things? (I am not commenting on the good things—oh, right, the good things are bad too.) Hey, I’m not writing an article about praising Trump, but really?
Back to sheep not caring—and bringing in Trump, Putin, and Hitler is important. Why? Because there is an odd inconsistency to these uncaring people’s unreasoning apathy. Why do they care so damned much about Trump? It seems that every single thing he does they care about, and if what he is doing is not enough to care about, they twist it into the most substantial nightmare you can imagine.
Suddenly, everything matters now, the wars: Trump with his finger hovering over the red nuke button, the trans thing: it seems that it is more important that we have empathy for the plight of transmen/turned women pursuing their dream to win gold in the Olympics, rather than for confused children being groomed to beg for the OR (I know, I know, this isn’t true for all of them).
All of these issues are conflated with all other issues, and even non-issues, to create issues. Since when has anyone believed negotiating a peace treaty was an issue and an example of a crazy president? Well, now it is.
So, why is it that no one cares about something one minute, and then the next minute, it is the number one thing to care about? Of course, you already know the answer to this question, it is very simple. It is because they are told to. One minute, they are told not to care about issue “A,” and the next minute, they are told to care. Gee, who would’ve thunk that?
Of course, this explanation defies logic. But what other explanation is there? If you ask why they now care when a second ago they didn’t, they can’t tell you. Go ahead and try (I’m sure you already have).
There is something really weird going on, and I am not sure if any explanation will be very satisfying. Other than to say the world has gone insane. That, sadly, makes the most sense. This idea that people are too lazy to give a damn makes some sense. This idea that people are reluctant to rock the boat makes some sense. But then why rock the boat with Trump? Why rock the boat with Russia, and with Putin?
The agenda likes the idea that the sheepers have something to hate. When you think about it, there has always been something to hate. It was the virus for a while (actually they feared the virus, they hated everyone who denied the virus). Then Putin and Russia, then Palestine or Israel (that’s a good one; you can hate either one, it doesn’t matter to the agenda which). Now the big hate is Trump.
Hate, hate, hate. Hating is very important. And it really isn’t Trump people hate, it is everyone who supports Trump. They are the real ones to hate. And you don’t even have to support the guy, all you have to do is be someone who doesn’t hate him. Then you are hated.
I ran across a 40-year friend on Facebook (now there’s something to hate!) stating that he was disgusted that Trump took over the Kennedy Center in DC and had his new board cancel an all-gay choir performance. It turns out this cancellation, due to budget restrictions, happened before Trump made his hateful and racist changes.
I pointed this out to him, citing a CNN news report. He immediately de-friended me and told me I was a huge and ghastly “disappointment” for being a Trump-lover. Huh?
Obviously, before Trump declared himself chairman of the board at the famous venue, no one cared if the non-Trumpified board cancelled gay choirs.
Now, it matters. Before, it didn’t. ‘Round and ‘round the mulberry bush…

“They don’t see the erosion of our freedom of speech rights, they don’t see children being coerced into medications and “gender-affirming” surgery, and they don’t see the unfairness in allowing men to compete in women’s sports.”
Isn’t the true definition of “sheep” someone who believes that their rights are defined and dictated by the political structure? Isn’t a sheep someone who is constantly worried about what “they” are going to “allow” us to do? Someone who equates “freedom of speech” with what you’re permitted to say on the internet? Someone who thinks we need authority structures to dictate who’s allowed to compete with who?
Everything you are saying AFFIRMS the power structure and co-signs the idea that our freedom is dependent on the whims of others. These are the attitudes of a frightened child, not a sovereign adult.
This is exactly where they want you to be.
Free yourself, brother. You don’t need anyone’s permission.
The visible and the invisible Wall is real.
No yes right, you don’t need anyone’s permission. But you need anyone’s cooperation!
If you cant get anyone around you to cooperate, you are lost. The Trial:

Thank you I needed this
Trump is is again making headlines and moral outrage all over the world:
LGTB lost their right to fight in the night for their rights in public.
Off course Amnesty International and Human Right organisations are standing on the chairs with a pink right fist in the air over this attack on humanity from ultra conservative Police State fascist forces. See photo!
https://apnews.com/article/hungary-pride-ban-amendment-orban-gay-rights-lgbtq-155ec12cbbde7cc6be0f96adb323de77 .
So you ask me what have Trump to do with this in Hungary? I say Everything! Trump has everything to do with it!! This is what I say!
Trump has recently signed an order to dismantle the Leftist US Department of Education
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-20/donald-trump-signs-executive-order-aimed-at-dismantling-education-department .
Trump’s ultra right fascist idea is to change the American schools from group think, zero sum, woke and minority rights, into an old fashioned obsolete fascist school system where children are forced to learn ABC and Math……by (will you believe it?) repetition, by repetition, I repeat by repetition! Muahhh Muhaah Muhaah 😭 😭 😭 .
And this is NOT the only two bad bad thing Trump also has been doing to our children.
Doctor.
As your a registered psychotherapist practicing in Toronto did you and your clients wear masks and social distant? as in covid compliance….
Or was you a real rebel and said ”fuck that”! to the rules.
Because at first most people did not know what was really going on, we went along with the shut down, but we were quickly labeled “essential services” so could open with the mask crap. Personally, I told clients if they didn’t want to wear a mask, they didn’t have to. I basically did what my clients preferred, as I would in any situation.
Our regulating body was a bit loose with rules and left a lot of it up to us. It was the Ministry of Health that was a problem. Some therapists ignored them for the most part, but many followed the rules.
What a mess. Your article, that is. Unbelievable. Gotta wonder sometimes. This is one of those times. It must be alcohol. Put yourself out on a limb with this one. I am guessing you must have had one too many and are now wishing you could have it back for editing. Stone sober right now and laughing so hard I am turning red.
Huh?
Exactly.
Ah, the frustration with others not being awake stage. I know it well. It should pass. If it doesn’t then you are clinging to a fantasy. When you accept what is, you don’t need others to change. It’s very liberating. All we need do is change ourselves.
Are you saying we should all just conform to the majority mindset? And become “sheep-like” …interesting. Of course, that happens naturally…a sort of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” syndrome. Stay awake, and they won’t get ya. Of course, if we did get “taken in”, it would be a lot more comfortable, and yes, “liberating” in a strange way.
“Are you saying we should all just conform to the majority mindset”
Todd, how on Earth you came to that conclusion???
Well, it seems you spent 3 minutes for reply (according to your latter reply to susan mullen). Superficiality so common these days looks it has subdued you too.
The commenter was right at the beginning, his conclusion wrong and show he is likely infested with new age type shit.
After years you are still joggling with sheep…no progress. And I mean progress, literally.
I wonder how your attitude towards sheeple affects your professional life, how can you help your patients that are mostly, by the law of statistics, sheeple. Are there two Todds, one for patients, one for the rest? Kind of schizophrenic situation that is present in majority, one person for the job, another for relatives and maybe another personas too if it’s necessary.
I’m sure you have to ponder more about conformism. You should know it is natural to humans. It is a curse and blessing at the same time. Without it there would be an inherently paralyzed society, no quick action possible, endless squabbling about everything, because every ass has its own opinion, particularly in societies that highly praise individualism. In case of bad shepherds things go south, true, but don’t blame people for being people. If you have an urge to be helpful then move your helping-self to the realm of ideas, a real mess is actually there.
Would you care to explain where I was wrong? On reflection, I think we do ‘need’ others to change – we need everyone to change (!) – we need everyone to become enlightened. That is where we are going, very slowly and painfully. I suppose I meant more that your focus is on bettering yourself, and this leads others to better themselves. Rather than telling others to change, wishing they would change, complaining when they don’t change – but never changing yourself.
I recently ‘upgraded’ my front yard and driveway. Now it seems several people on the street are making improvements to theirs. I’m not saying it’s all down to me, but I am saying that our actions influence others.
No, I’m not saying that at all. Being awake will separate you from the masses, for sure. However, don’t be the guy always lamenting that others aren’t as awake as you. You are placing too much of a burden on yourself for ‘saving the world’.
Do I ever lament? Sure. But I recognise this as an ego trip. Better to ask God, or the universe, as you prefer, what you can do better.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”.
Todd, freezing bank accounts of the Canadian Truckers made it clear there’s no point in caring. I live in the US and they even froze the donation I sent from a US bank.
Yes, there is no point in standing up to something that you believe if the government will make it the least bit uncomfortable for you. I remember when my accounts were frozen the only response my wife had was “well, you shouldn’t donate to a cause that was contrary to the government narrative.” That is, of course, exactly what they want.
Curious to know who it was that froze your account, or did they just stop the donation?
Rock on, Todd… jesting entirely apart. On the road,
simple serious conclusions ! ✌ testing moments, indeed.
That last bit about pointing to real evidence to the kind of on-command turncoats you’ve described is something I’ve encountered, too. They instantly freeze you out or change the subject. No honest self-reflection and changing of mind there.
This applies to most of the fully vaxxed and boostered as well – those who’ve survived with no perceivable damage and even those who have never been well since (it’s the genes that did it). All happy, slappy nothing to see here.
Constant colds, aches and pains, dizzy spells, and a general malaise, seems to be the ‘de rigueur’ for many of the vaxed I know.
Exactly…they would NEVER correlate their sudden inability to deal with colds and such to the fact they destroyed their immune system with the vax.
Exactly.
One of the biggest markets for prescription drugs is anti inflammatories.
Watch sales soar.
Todd,
TPTB have engineered educational dumbing down. And in case that isn’t enough they’ve engineered enough toxins & hormone-disrupters to cause profound lethargy.
In this crisis it is the responsibility of intellectuals and leaders to lay out a viable course of action for more-impaired citizens to support. A petulant ascribing of belittling motives to other people while remaining silent about the nameless villains and their specific acts isn’t enough to differentiate you from that lethargic mass that you so scorn.
If you’re a leader, then god dammit lead. If you’re more courageous than others, then WHERE is any part of your plan? EVERYBODY wants to blame somebody else for not knowing what to do, or not wanting some unnamed action enough to perform it.
Surely, the first step in trying to help anyone is to communicate? And if true communication is blocked, you just can’t help, can you?
This is precisely the big problem and case. They have no language, neither for understanding nor for solutions. I see it as a very serious society problem.
It reminds me of the ancient film “the body snatchers” . https://youtu.be/mbqSESPkmCI Donald Sutherland.
The original “Body Snatchers” is better than the newer one…check out my article…https://www.shrewviews.com/p/invasion-of-the-body-snatchers-revisited?utm_source=publication-search
Thanks very much for the link. So you been there done that triple……….LOL.
I find it ok to acquire some knowledge of the obscure unknown, but I prefer the keep it simple stupid (kiss) conclusions.
Bezmenov call it Ideological Suppression prev KGB techniques.
Goebbels called it mass propaganda.
Biblical explanation, demons here creating super humans (giants).
We have Hypnosis. It works on some people.
Matrix.
Millennium old families still leading from behind.
DNA manipulation, to erase spirituality (the God gene).
QR code control to owe the patent on new human specie.
Whatever label we give it, its disturbing. So far I only see knowledge and connection to cosmos as survival technique, and to know there are strong people who see the same is supportive too. Kind regards.
As usual, a good article and a lot of very interesting comments.
Good point about the hate : I have noticed in my personal interactions that the other part (the sheep, as Todd calls them) cannot have a logical conversation, after a few lame arguments (apparently from a script, because all of them have the same arguments) it ends up with various levels of hate. There are some factors leading to this : the legacy media which propagates the government propaganda, the influencers in social media who sell ideas as they sell anything else and the basic ingredient : fear. The sheep are all fearing something (ilness by a virus, being fired as a result of some Trump policy, losing some position of power etc). Thank you for being around !
Exactly…all perfect points.
I think (hope) that, as more and more people lose everything they’ve got, resistance will become fierce. At the moment, too many of us are clinging to our well-fed middle-class status to want to rise up. Freedom comes when there’s nothing left to lose.
During Covid only 3/4 not so long years ago, the above did really happen and they turned on the unvaccinated and non mask wearers non believers quicker than police did.
The germaphobes (virus believers) blaming bats, chicoms, dirty humans who dared question germs.
That was a staged photo done for laughs. The family requested it.

The clue is that the mum and dad are smiling and grinning in the photo and neither are wearing masks.
But it suits your narrative since around three-quarters of your comments are Christian bashing, using your various multi-IDs – currently ‘Hail’ and ‘shva’.
Why do have such a downer on Christianity but never attack the other major Abrahamic with two billion followers? Yeh, you are too scared to have a pop at that one, in case they come looking for you for blaspheming their god and prophet. Christianity is low hanging fruit since even the Christians who read OffG just turn the other cheek – you can shit on them and they don’t bite back. I’m not even a Christian but can spot your game.
So what happened to you in the past? Did Jimmy give you a ‘Jim fixed it for me’ badge when he visited your house dressed in disguise as the local priest or vicar?
You attack people comments with immunity and this site seems to protect you and your famous off site for your trolling.
I do not spend all day on forums – AI writing long essays getting bent out of shape hail is HAIL and my only and anyone can factcheck this.
What a worse example of a Christianity you seem.
Get a life and use this Christianity love turn the other cheek to do better than us evil doers nonbelievers.
Once you relish in censoring everyone, all you have is you on this forum.
Everyone has been warned about you off site.
Can’t you read? I’ve already said I’m not a Christian, so why would I turn the other cheek?
AI ? – unbelievable. No, I wouldn’t go near it. So are you assuming anyone who can write a sentence is using AI? In case you hadn’t noticed, plenty of people still can and do.
What are you talking about by “famous off site trolling”? What does that even mean?
Who is “everyone” warned and where is “off-site”? Put a link up then.
Anyway, you clearly spend plenty of time scrolling and commenting all over the internet. Far more than I do.
People don’t care because if they did, they would risk losing their “well-fed-middle-class status.”
The joke is: They are NOT well-fed. They’ve been stuffed with processed grains and told that meat will kill them (and the planet!). Stuffing people with grains just tells the belly to shut up, while providing no nutrition; dumbs people down, and makes them sick and dependent.
The ancient Roman army–hardly “sick and dependent”–marched 20 miles a day in full kit basically on bread and olive oil and maybe a little gruel. Meat, to them, was “soft” food, meant for pampered elites, grain and vegetables were “hard” food, meant for real men. Fact. Look it up.
And not a single one of them would have turned down a steak, or any other piece of meat, if available to them.
First of all, ancient Romans did not eat steak. They generally only used cows for dairy products and leather. It is true that the Roman army were not vegetarians by principle. Of course, they supplemented their diet on the march with hunting or commandeered domestic livestock. Occasionally. You conveniently miss my point. My point is that their everyday diet was basically grains and vegetables, and they were very healthy and very strong. No proud modern meat-eater, no matter how much meat he ate, could survive one day in the Roman army when it was in the field. They would march 20 miles in full kit, and then build a stockade, before they sat down to dinner. Every day another march and a new stockade. You really don’t know anything about the subject, and so why are you commenting? Just because you refuse to acknowledge the truth? This is very common. Many people are like that.
You’re quibbling. To reiterate, whatever their choice of flesh may have been, Roman soldiers on the march would not have turned down meat were it made available to them.
I am not quibbling. You do not know what the word means. I was correcting your mistaken assumptions. You know nothing about anything I was talking about, and yet you have the gall to argue, using your uninformed feelings as a guide. Roman soldiers were very strong and immensely capable without meat, eating primarily grain. You conveniently ignore the crux of the matter, because it proves you categorically wrong.
Roman soldiers ate meat as part of their diet, when ever they could get it.
I’m sorry, but you seem to be a shill. Shills tend to ignore what you say and repeat their off-topic and ill-informed talking points relentlessly.
I’m sorry, but you are ignorant and arrogant at the same time. This is called fatuousness. You need to go back to school.
Great Scientist (very well-educated) Theodore Monod once walked 600 miles in the Sahara to prove that he had sufficient stamina without eating meat.
Théodore Monod – Wikipedia
Grains have always served as slave food. Roman army? Basically slaves. Don’t waste good food on them. They’re expendable, and their lifespans were brutally short.
American slaves worked in cotton fields all day. So I guess they were well-fed and healthy? Fantastic logic. Go live off their diet if you like.
“Fact. Look it up.” Wonderfully dramatic line. Childish, but dramatic.
I’m sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. You are just making it up, and so therefore, your observations are worth nil.
Bread was the staple in every class of ancient Roman society. Roman soldiers under the Republic were not slaves but fully constituted citizens. Fact look it up is not a dramatic line. You don’t even know what drama is.
As the old folks used to say, “the unmitigated gall.”
Horses, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, buffalo and goats, to name a few, all grow big and strong on grass and grain.
What makes us special?
Oh, of course, we’ve learned how to exploit, slaughter and slice.
I’m not sure if it makes us special but our biology and nutritional needs are radically different from elephants etc. This human shaming is part of the odious narrative of how we are the problem, I do not accept that.
Massive size and longevity without ingesting animal protein.
Isn’t that a clue?
If you think you have the same digestive tract as a horse or elephant, then you’re so misinformed that it’s astonishing. Our digestion is radically different from gorillas, and they’re even closer to us than horses, etc.
Why don’t you go live off of bamboo? Pandas do it.
Tell it to the many vegan athletes, body builders and marathon runners.
Animal fat in arteries just doesn’t make sense.
Why ‘pander’ to the Animal Slaughter Industrial Complex?
Sugar destroys arteries, not animal fat.
Most of the above stated herbivores are classical ruminants. Practically they cover their protein needs through digestion of internal cultivated microorganisms and not directly from intake plant matter. In a broader sense above animals are not vegetarians. But yeah, comparing ruminant digestion systems with ours is like comparing apples with pears…
Generally speaking, carnivorous animals have much shorter lifespans than ruminants.
Flesh exhausting their digestive systems?
BTW, Apples and Pears are both in the Rosacea family.
Dear Todd
I think we do care. Every year more and more people understand what has happened and what is wrong. It is true that we come up against those with such views that can be easily disproved. I find such people in the institutions and government agencies. It’s so strange to deal with these people; they look confused when you show them the contrary. Those outside need truth in order to live; those in the institutions need confirmation of their beliefs. But it gnaws at them. They will know one day and it will get better.
I’m hitching my waggon to yours only because I’ve noticed more people are seeing through the veil now than in the years BC and because I can’t sleep at night if I lose all hope.
Years ago I found the following interesting snippet from a (scientific?) study that lets one hope for a better future of self-determined human life:
To be controlled, we have to be unplugged from competing sources of control. The major threat to external control is our internal guidance system – our souls.
Our souls are our best friends and most trusted guides. But to the control paradigm, they’re the enemy – what has to be removed in order for external control to work.
Only when we’re sufficiently disconnected from our inner compass will we follow outer demands.
(The Paradigm Conspiracy by Denise Breton and Christopher Largen)
The good news is that it takes only about 10 percent of people to lead the world out of our stifling old paradigm (I’m hoping that’s true and that it is enough):
Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society.
The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion.
The finding has implications for the study and influence of societal interactions ranging from the spread of innovations to the movement of political ideals.
That’s why we have to keep trying to talk to people who cling to their cosy bubble of oblivion.
Perhaps that is why we are seeing such a rise in Islam?
Bubbles of oblivion
To the left and the right.
Bubbles of oblivion
Reaching to the sky.
Bubbles of oblivion
Everywhere we go
Gotta prick those bloody bubbles.
Until the Sheeple know,
Come on. The problem is the opposite. It is the 90% who have an unshakable belief in the latest TV News.
“Care” is too broad a word. I think the people you describe: “Every year more and more people understand what has happened and what is wrong.” In my opinion, most of these people do not really understand the truth about the situation, nor do they really know what is wrong. Some might, but most do not. They will fall on these false narratives “they didn’t know EVERYTHING about the vaccines” or “they were under a lot of pressure” or “they were doing their best in a bad situation”…
Todd, I think it’s theme-based. In my past as a member of various activist groups I found that in each group people were very aware of the valid arguments for their particular beef with society …. However, most had absolute tunnel vision when it came to similar themes needing to be addressed to advance peaceful and co-operative society in other areas.
It’s most likely the same thing with regard to people at large who are now glimpsing some of the things that are truly wrong. However, once they’ve understood one aspect of the Agenda, they’ll hopefully come across other aspects.
Most people are not rocking the boat with Trump (or Putin). Trump is viewed as an anti-establishment figure, hated by most of the MSM (in Canada it’s all of the MSM). It’s more the case that Trump is perceived as the one who is rocking the boat and that is one of the reasons they hate him.
perceived = perception management yes? Managing people’s perception.
I dont understand how people can live on other people’s worldview unless they in some way are ‘untermench’, subhuman, animal.
Pakistan flew its drones simultaneously with its civilian commercial aircraft: who cares for any passengers?
11 million Chinese is said to die from natural causes every year. I think we can live with 70 passengers going down in an civil aircraft.
The worst thing is a new aircraft cost 10 mio USD, and my airline ticket and taxes is going up, because of those bastards and their loose handedness.
Who cares for my wallet? Just asking.
New plane for USD 10 million? Maybe an executive jet sized Cessna.
Think you’re a tad behind the times.
Currently, USD 100 million for a new Boeing 737 or USD 400 million for an Airbus 380 or Boeing 747.
For an alu tube with a couple of Fiat engines and some windmill wings?
Ok, my shot was far out. Thanks for correction.
I know, ridiculous prices. It explains why airlines half the world’s aircraft are leased.

I’m afraid the “shrews” are as caught up in Trumpism as are the “sheep.” (They just don’t know it.) In one breath the “shrews” will tell you Trump is just a puppet carrying out the cabal’s orders; then in the next breath they will insist we are making way too much of what Trump is doing –
WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! If Trump is but a puppet, then the crazy lawless things he’s doing must be exactly what the cabal wants to accomplish. So why are the “shrews” not out there cursing Trump?
He’s not just blatantly but deliberately ignoring the Courts, the Constitution, the people who voted for him (who will support him no matter how badly he betrays them). Now his Administration is looking for ways to ignore Habeas Corpus – the number one bulwark of Western Law since the Magna Carta. He was the champion of states’ rights until elected President; now he is completely ignoring the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution – arresting judges and mayors because they are trying to uphold due process (which his “Law” Enforcement agencies are ignoring).
He is shipping unconvicted people to third world hellholes for life imprisonment without the slightest pretense of due process. True, these are immigrants; but he’s made it clear he’s looking for ways to do the same to American citizens. That means the cabal itself has thrown down the gauntlet.
Is it therefore even remotely possible to overstate the case against Trump?
So, before Trump the right to habeas corpus was the law of the land in the US? OK, but once one is labeled a “terrorist” habeas corpus no longer applies – Patriot Act? Of course, here we can blame that all on GWB, another “right winger” but here’s the rub – that could not have been signed into law without a willing Congress to put that legislation on the desk of POTUS. Pretty sure that was a fully bi-partisan action, and it wasn’t written in a day either. Never mind that our legal system is already rigged against a majority of citizens, particularly those without the necessary resources to fight specious charges. Unless we think plea bargains for specious charges are a good thing? Keeps those private prisons full so I guess that’s OK as long as those are inside the US.
And how about those big old 4th Amendment violations with mandates? Is it possible to overstate the case against those? My body, my choice until it’s time for the latest booster? Did those who lost jobs due to mandates receive habeas corpus to fight that? If any of that went in front of a judge it’s more than likely still in process. How many of those affected have the resources to continue that fight?
As for those judges arrested for merely “upholding due process” how about the one who dismissed the charges against an individual on trial for domestic battery because she felt his imminent arrest by ICE was unwarranted? Think that victim got “due process” in that proceeding? Aren’t judges supposed to be impartial before the law, putting their own political bias aside in order to make a fair ruling, or recusing themselves when that’s not personally possible? Or is that only a problem with a “right wing” judge? While most of the arguments about that issue focus on partisan bullshit, the issue of supposed impartiality before the law goes completely unmentioned by either “side.”
Trump as an individual isn’t the problem, and we all should know that by now. Go on and focus your ire on one individual, who is indeed a puppet just like the rest of them. That in and of itself is overstating the case, or rather understating it. The ugly fact that either Trump or Biden got anywhere near the White House should prove once and for all that POTUS does NOT run the country.
I get the need to focus on one person, hell that’s the way of the world and our owners have trained us very well to accomplish that little diversion. Just like all those who couldn’t wait to blame Biden, Obama, GWB, Clinton, on and on the merry go round goes. In the meantime, they are ALL part of it, but it’s also really fun and entertaining to blame the respective voters for that as well. Divide and Rule. While one “side” blames the stupid shits on the “other side” for voting in the latest puppet, the cabal indeed continues to continue its own agenda and laughs at the rubes fighting each other over things they think they can control. Well, that keeps You Tube and all the other outlets in business, so why not just enjoy it. Pick your enemy and love your outrage, get that hate going and stoke it well.
BTW, check out the US Constitution. The right to Habeas Corpus is specifically named within the Constitution (Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2). Yet Steve Miller (soon to be Mike Waltz’s replacement) has said they’re looking for ways to ignore Habeas Corpus.
Oh also: did you notice (perhaps not) that I wrote that what Trump is proposing and doing is precisely what the real rulers of America want to have happen? Are you naive enough to think that the President, a puppet, is free to say and do whatever he wishes? The last President to try that should never have gone to Dallas. No, the President’s agenda is a carefully laid out plan by the ruling class for America’s future.
Therefore, since we cannot stop the rulers from trying to enslave us, we can at least slow the process by fighting “their man” in the Oval Office. That will send a message to them that we, the American people, will fight back. But if we simply go along with it by convincing ourselves that it’s meaningless because it’ll all blow away when the political wind changes, we’ll find ourselves caught in a quagmire we foolishly thought was just a puppet show.
There is no such thing as a puppet show staged by the ruling class. It’s for real. Count on it.
Fighting “their man” in office? And pray tell, how does that work exactly? While you cannot wait to denigrate the MAGA people, some of them DID try to fight the man in office, albeit by believing in another man who they felt should be in office, but that is part of the point I was trying to make here. And of course, this assumes that elections are totally for real, free and uncorrupted, blah, blah, blah, which one has to be pretty naive at this late date to really believe. Are some of them seeing that now? I do believe many are, but in order to see that one would have to remove the partisan bias and perhaps talk to a few of them, and we simply cannot allow ourselves to do that when they alone put that scary demon in the White Hut.
As for habeas corpus, well duh yes that is in the Constitution (or the Bill of Rights but same thing for this discussion) but The Patriot Act does overturn that for anyone labeled a terrorist. And I believe you can look that up if you so desire. That piece of legislation has never been overturned or properly challenged by any of the puppets in the POTUS slot either. Huh, I wonder why…
No such thing as a puppet show staged by the ruling class? Surely you see through that by now. It is ALL a puppet show staged by the ruling class, and Trump is merely another part of that theater. I am not saying it is meaningless to show our rulers we will fight back, but what I am saying is by focusing on that one man in office, that ignores the real fight and becomes one more part of the show. And yes, that fight is for real. Quite frankly if I did not see that by now I would not be making this comment.
As for fighting for people brought here ILLEGALLY, many of them promised things that were hardly the intent of those making all those promises, not to mention the massive fund raising used to get them here, that is part of the puppet show as well. Or perhaps you’re unaware that illegal immigration has been used for generations to lower wages of US workers? Why do you think that issue has been kicked around, with both “sides” taking differing positions on it for all that time? By basically giving your approval for this current iteration of it, out of rightful loathing of the current occupant of the puppet stage, you’re doing the bidding of those same people putting on the show. How the hell that has gotten lost in this whole issue by those who proclaim they’re all about saving working people in this country is one more part of the big con. Many of those MAGA people you hate so much used to be Democratic voters, until they got shafted by those oh so caring same Democrats and turned to the other “side” to remedy that. But they are the only fools in this game, right?
I forgot to add: look at Covid. There was so much push back from the people that the government had to rein it in. They clearly thought they had the upper hand – but they found out otherwise.
BUT, there had to be a mechanism against which to push back. And there was. What if the people had said “We know it’s all a game, but by golly we push back – push ’em way back (as the cheerleaders used to chant) – in theory. That’ll show them we mean business!” If that had been our attitude – simply laughing it off as pretense – we’d still be in lock down mode.
Same with the Trump issue. Yes, we can push back in theory against the various things he’s doing – BUT that would not have the same effect as pushing back in reality against the puppet who’s promoting the mess.
Your critic is too fluffy and undocumented Howard. We are back to the same broken record again.
Those Trump shipped out, the ‘unconvicted peopl’e to third world hellholes” without due parole were illegal armed mafiosos from well known Latin America cross border gangs.
I could imagine many more relevant breaches of the Constitution or it’s Amendments than this idiotic example, but then Trump would perhaps not be involved and you not interested.
Yes?
Gradually, evidence is coming to light that these “illegal armed mafiosos from well known Latin America cross border gangs” were not all cut from the same cloth. For one thing, they were said to be Venezuelan – so they could not have gotten here “cross border.” And if they were going to be deported – why not deport them to their country of origin, Venezuela? Why El Salvador?
Among them was Kilmer Abrego Garcia – who had NOTHING to do with the “mafiosos.” But – and this is a huge BUT – he did have tattoos. Ooh, I’m scared of tattoos! Please, Mr. Trump, please: there’s a tattooed man outside my house! Come save me!
Bull f**king s**t!!!!!
Because he was BORN in El Salvador. He was in US illegal. He had tattoos and friends connecting him with gangs, which the Police noticed.
Well, in US and Latin its normal to move yourself into US or EU illegal. Some pay up to 10-15.000 USD to get in there to work illegal.
The local US Contractors benefit from illegal low paid workers, these Latins benefit from better conditions and being paid more than home. Both party accept these conditions.
Now it happens the Trump administration want to change this traffic, or at least get more control of the organised crime part of it.
Hereof we have our case which I see as a non case, and you see Kilmer as an full blown Trump attack on the US Liberal Human Right’s Constitution.
So let me ask you point blank: are you okay with Kilmer Garcia spending the rest of his life in an El Salvador prison (by mistaken identity) simply because he was an illegal immigrant to the US?
People are apathetic – if it doesn’t affect them directly they don’t really give a toss – taht’s the kind of cold society that we’ve been taught to believe in.
And often disguised as not wanting to be too negative. Seeing only the fun parts of living daily life.
I have reached the conclusion that the controllers will not push too far in leaving people with “nothing to lose” at least not in the short-term. Perhaps, over decades, yes.
After the 2011 riots in Britain, triggered by the police shooting of the criminal Mark Duggan, I said that we will only know something has shifted socioeconomically if and when the middle classes were to riot for food. Whereas typical riots, such as those in 2011 and in other Western countries before and since, were an excuse for a spot of ‘late night shopping’ while the shops were closed. There were no reports of anyone breaking into a supermarket to steal cans of baked beans and a bags of oven chips, but instead they robbed, for example, JD Sports for Nikes, Currys for 50 inch TVs and assorted clothes shops for designer clobber.
Starving people in some parts of Africa accept the situation since it is all that they have known. However, western populations have never known true hardship at least in the last 45 years. Even the western underclass and poor will likely remain passive so long as the welfare benefits continue to be paid and EBT cards work.
No bread and circuses in the developed world could lead to revolt but so long as the state provides those, while chipping away at living standards, the masses are unlikely to rise up. Much less so today than even only 40 or 50 years ago.
It is only when people really have nothing to lose, and I am not referring to ‘freedom’, that they may rise up. People without food in the their bellies, heating, electricity and running hot water – who are unaccustomed to such scarcity – become unpredictable.
Indeed, it is also hard to understand just how long a game the predator class have been playing. Hence why the drive for so long now has been to corrupt and subvert the young. I think it’s the Fabian society which has ‘incrementalism’ as one of their mottos.
Absolutely spot on the money. I’ve been traveling and visiting many family and friends over the last month and have been gobsmacked by listening to person after person, all kind generous folks, simply repeat the litany of “official narratives” on any topic that might arise. After one topic I could with great accuracy predict what their “opinions” and “talking points” would be on the next topic – before they spoke a word. Hated along with Trump are Kennedy, and of course anyone who might question anything about the Covid operation and “vaccines.” If I had still retained any faith in humanity to wake up – this trip would have been enough to shatter it. : /
Yes this Covid thing really revealed a lot of things. The Milgram test confirmed on a global basis. The divide and conquer schemes, m.m.
And they dont see:
The corporate police, courts and government have no jurisdiction over us unless we consent or are tricked by legalese trickery.

Re bad bad Trump:
Trump executive order: that from now on there is only two sexes, man and woman.
Trump executive order: ban on any chemical and/or biological castration of children’.
Trump declare as the only Western Leader that Ukraine war should never had been started, and he will stop funding it and seek to make peace as quick as possible.
Trump changed an incompetent Trans Health Minister to a competent Health minister.
Trump had gut enough to appoint competent Tulsi Gabbard to key Intelligence role.
Trump stated during lock down that the Corona thing was just a little worse than flue.
Trump stopped/changed public funding of woke ideology/employment to merit on Harvard.
Re the hero clown Obama:
Obama wrote the CO2 scam and made billions in Team with Al Gore, Goldman Sachs.
Obama started up 5 wars in his 8 yr time and got a criticized Nobel Prize for Peace.
Obama doubled US public debt from -10 trillion to -20 trillion in his 8 years.
Obama signed weekly death list by drones on terrorists where 9 out of 10 were civilians.
All right, we have noticed where your sympathies are, what you support and want:
.
To support either is simply to pay lip service to the insane notion that everything comes under the big red-white-and-blue government umbrella. It’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.
If it doesnt matter to you, why do you comment on my preference to go down with this government more than another? What is your purpose then?
You want to convince me it doesnt matter, yes? So what is your problem??
You contradict and reveal yourself Mister!
Trump’s only real interests are 1. dumping Social Security 2. making it so rich people don’t pay income tax, and 3. transferring lots of extra money to military contractors.
Oh, and also lots of wars
It was rich people who invented that poor people should have rights.
It was rich people who dissolved slavery. It was rich people who wrote the US Constitution and Independency Declaration “All men are born equal”!
It was poor people and socialists who invented wars, that to steal from their neighbours to the next bottle of booze was easier than working. 😂 .
Phew. Not even wrong Too ignorant to be.
Tried to match you ;-).
Ahem, Trump is the initiator of “Warp Speed” poisoning of the population using the military for intimidation. And he’s proud of it.
Not only this, Trump allocated 500 billion to ‘Data Centres*, and probably more.
Let us see.
But regard to be proud of the ‘warp speed’ I understood it was related to the quick public/corp preparedness to an emergency situation.
The cooperation between the public, corporations, military in civil defence was excellent.
I know the warp speed doesnt smell well, the military force injecting the population with dna changing medicine, m.m. Yes.
Whilst some (mainly people influenced watching any form of media) proclaim the world is coming to shit.
On the other side of this spectrum is who don’t watch media can you the world is a wonderful beautiful place.

So which is it?
Perhaps, you should make your mind up.
Or 1) accept that you too are being influenced by the same media and are engaging with the fear and negativity or 2) accept that the world and its human inhabitants are far from perfect, then try to understand the reality itself, your place within it and how best to improve it and avoid the worst of it.
Precisely, and what influenced shva to turn positive? Papa’s responds in the same thread in the same media…………..LOL. https://youtu.be/TclwrV73TW8
You raise an more important issue than most recognize. I had an issue with high blood pressure in a period of my life.
During the many measurements I took myself in the morning and evening, I discovered concerns or negative thoughts (hate) can make the pressure go up.
Something feeds and gets energy from the negative thoughts we have. By changing to positive thoughts it was possible to lower the pressure.
I think meditation and other similar techniques shows that too, that we actually can control our own well being with positive thoughts alone.
I often wonder if the media has lobotomised most people I know. I remember speaking to a neighbour, with three sons and umpteen grand children, about the direction in which humanity was travelling who responded by saying, “Will we be here?” The older generation used to be the font of experience and wisdom. Now we’re just consumers.
We have given up. Waiting 2000 years for Jesus coming. 75 years plus minus 25 is what we have got, and these years I am gonna spend on ice cream and not philosophies..
I’ve come to the conclusion that people won’t do anything until the horror of the technocratic state is fully in their face and affecting them in a very real tangible way. Look at covid1984, lots of good people stepped up and fought back and something good came out of it. Many of those people are no longer involved directly in fighting back now because there is no direct conflict for many of them but they would have had their world view changed forever and when the SHTF again they and many others will become involved again in fighting back, I have every faith in that and it will lead to a human flourishing that is difficult to imagine now in this dark phase we are in. Humans are eternally inventive but necessity is very much the mother of invention.
They said it was the language that caused the human being to become so confrontational and destructive, so is someone coming for the language?
Doesn’t the fact that there’s an exclusionary choir, predicated on sexual preference (whether genetically-inherited, chemically-manipulated, cognitively-actualized or socially-acquired) perpetuate divisiveness and othering. I hope they don’t expect heterosexuals to attend their exclusionary, sexualized, performances.
I can only imagine what the vetting process might be like to join the choir… does sexuality take precedence, or vocal ability?
Mary had a little lamb, it’s fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
Oh, what I just wrote has no bearing on anything, does it? Ditto what you just wrote.
Don’t worry, Canada and Germany just voted Blackrock headhuchoes in: their net zero future is capable hands. Top 10% of Carbon Emitters Cause Half of All Emissions The top ten will add the zeroes removed from the middle class behind their net income and the woke will agitate in favor of this self robbery, self hating and irrational as they became.
and well people should get mighty suspicious when you start to talk about what’s good for “our kids”! that’s the oldest trick in the book for justifying censorship, enforced vaccinations, police-state style human rights abuses, totalitarian digital surveillance and whatever other crock of you know what they want to ram down our throats
Yes, it is the oldest trick in the book. These evil bastards know a lot of them.

“Most people today have not awakened from the Cult of Progress. Even with the world being dismembered before their eyes, nearly all public figures continue to be members of this cult. The same is true for many nonpublic figures — for most of us — as we seem unquestioningly to presume that tomorrow’s progress will bring more good things to life, and will simultaneously solve the problems created by yesterday’s and today’s progress (without then creating yet more problems, as “progress” always seems to do).
For those who benefit from it, progress is about improving their material lifestyle at the expense of those they enslave, steal from, or otherwise exploit. For everyone else, it is about loss.”

“The reporter said from his research, mining experts have told him Ontario doesn’t need mining in the Ring of Fire to establish a domestic electric vehicle supply chain.
“It’s going to benefit First Nations community,” replied Ford. Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations, he said, are leading the environmental assessments and reiterated his government’s $1-billion commitment to build the roads network to reach the proposed mine sites and to connect these two remote communities to the provincial highway system for the first time.
“But this isn’t just going to bring opportunity and employment to First Nations community. It’s going to bring proper health care to the community, it’s going to bring fresh food to the community. These communities are fly-in communities and they’re struggling. And we’re going to work with the First Nations community. We’ll always be collaborative.”

“At the time of writing of this article, the comment period for these proposals from Noront had closed. However, another suite of proposals to issue early exploration permits has since been posted on the Environmental Registry, with comments being invited until Dec. 30. Together, the proposed mining permits and the approximate 2,000 mining claims they represent, pose a high likelihood of cumulative impacts to the boreal, James Bay Lowlands region.
Again, environmental and Indigenous organizations have responded, noting the posting of these additional exploration permits illustrates Ontario is not listening to calls by affected First Nation communities to halt Ring of Fire decision making. These permits, if approved, would also open up exploration activities in what is the second largest peatland complex in the world, and home for nearly 40,000 Indigenous people across 35 communities whose food, medicine, cultural and sacred spaces for traditional practices and ceremony are sustained by the area’s extensive river networks and wildlife habitats.
Ontario must re-evaluate its priorities as the global health crisis persists to provide support, capacity funding, flexibility and decision-making authority to First Nation communities engaging in proposed development instead of favouring private, industry interests. Anything less will not advance reconciliation and will undoubtedly result in inadequate consultation contrary to the Crown’s constitutional duty.”

“Ceremony also reminds us of our responsibilities to creation. When you have ceremonies of gratitude, you understand how much the world gives to you, and you remember your dependency. Through the ceremony itself — the food, the regalia, the time spent in preparation — you are giving back. You’re putting energy back into both the material and the spiritual world. The two are inseparable. Ceremonies are as much about reciprocity as they are about gratitude.” Robin Wall Kimmerer

Who cares?
It’s the title of a song I wrote about twenty years ago.
Here’s the first verse and the chorus Todd:
🎼 Who cares if more children are buried under their schools or homes?
There doesn’t seem to be many because Truth is the great unknown
Who cares if more soldiers lay dead leaving widows and orphans behind?
Who cares as they fill up our heads (with lies) and play word games with our minds?
Chorus:
Sorry, I don’t have the time
I’m far too busy you see
What with work and family commitments
And my new wide screen TV.
Is this true? I would love to hear it!
Yes Todd.
Along with three or four thousand other songs I’ve written, I’ve never recorded it.
Creating is free. Quality recording is expensive.
I’ll try to do something with ‘Who Cares’, and post it here.
Cheers.
Meanwhile, here’s a link to some other songs I recorded about ten years ago:

“what has he actually done as the devil incarnate other than say a bunch of strange, sometimes stupid, and sometimes insensitive things?”
You mean Mr. Operation Warpspeed who is responsible for the deaths and injuries of many millions because of his support for the fake vaccine for the fake virus? Or the war criminal who has supported the imperialist wars and agenda of the U.S. during his two terms? Or the asshole who unleashed Musk and DOGE on the country thereby hurting millions of people? Or the whacked out lunatic who thinks tariffs are the greatest thing since sliced bread and that American children should only have two dolls in order to sacrifice for his crimes against humanity? Or the five time draft dodger Epstein pedophile who has supported and aided the Israeli genocide in Gaza?
I could go on, but I don’t have the time or the fucking patience for it.
You’re right.
The thing is, there are many of us that “hate” all of them, so to speak, i.e., the political and oligarchy establishment. Hate is an inflammatory word, but it’s easier to say than “extremely dislike”. I don’t know if anything is strong enough considering what “they’ve” done and are doing. I mean, when do you use the word hate if not for people trying to control and rule you, take your freedom and liberty? So, I don’t have any qualms about it. Frankly, I see too many people who shouldn’t, i.e., they should know better (most don’t), give Trump some kind of weird pass on things because of his consistent crossing the line, like it’s just Trump being Trump. Just another way of falling for his bullshit. He’s a traitor to the country I was born in.
Oh puh-lease. I am so sick of this nonsense.
Now, if anyone was a traitor, it was Biden. All the anti-Trump ranters have developed a profound amnesia about what we’ve just gone through with that admin…
When I came to America, people understood that changing guards is what politicians do, no big deal. You play your tune for a while, I play mine for a while. Now? As soon as some politician is elected that YOU don’t like, it’s a catastrophe, and the rest of us will be treated to endless rants, and endless grandstanding against all the “unprecedented evil.” F this.
There are those who realize that every politician will end up doing more harm than good. In most cases, there is no cult (even after 9/11, those who supported President Bush were not a cult). There IS a cult behind Trump; and that adds great weight to everything he does. He is taking the trend to ignore the Constitution and every other Law he doesn’t like – and carrying that trend farther than any American President in our nation’s history – even the monstrous Woodrow Wilson.
So much of what Biden is guilty of falls under the category or omission; whereas much of what Trump is guilty of falls under the category of commission. A big difference.
Oh baloney. The people who kept repeating like parrots “Biden is sharp as a tack” were not a cult?! Who kept clapping like seals when Kamala offloaded one of her word salads?
There is no cult. There is political disagreemnt. Get over it.
At no time were Biden’s backers in the least concerned with the man per se – who, BTW, for all his bad deeds, did not deserve to be put before the public for the whole world to laugh at his descent into dementia. Rather, his backers were only interested in the prospects of the Democratic Party in the (always) upcoming elections.
Ditto Kamala Harris’s backers. Far from a cult, her backers (the DNC) were so bereft of ideas that all they could do was marvel that at least she could say something – anything – without losing track of the moment.
Not everyone who voted for Trump was a MAGA cultist – those “lesser of two evils” deluded souls are the ones now deserting him. If you don’t think Trump has a cult following, where have you been these past four years? Trump MAGA morons never once lost sight of their hero.
Pretty simplistic to think that just because I rail on Trump, I must accept or support Biden or the dems. Of course, Biden is a fucking traitor too. Do I really have to say that when I criticize Trump. Get a clue, man. I just said above, I “hate” all of them. Jeebus.
You need to accept reality. The factual situation we have today, what do we do with our factual situation.
Its not enough to play crybaby and tell mama what candy you like or what candy you dont like.
I dont like Trump’s 500 billion USD to Data Centres, but if it is with only two gender man and woman, ban on child castration, peace deal with the Houthis and Putin, and more, this is the factual situation we have to days date.
What is the alternative? A Trans as Health Minister and if I had more arms I as Democrat would feed more billions and $$$$$ to Ukraine and more to ME wars.
All right you dont like any of the candy they have in the shop. Fine, go and find another mommy who can do you.
Well, f off Erik. You want to talk to me like that, fine asshole.
haha
Exactly… and all Big AI has is ad homs.
We all hate them too. But we do recognize that Trump is turning things around in a lot of areas that matter. I remain cautious, but I am not one who scorns some good news after all the bad.
Your opinion of what Trump and his Project 2025 agenda are doing is certainly not the same as mine. Good luck with the new oligarchy vera.
Fwiw, I’ve been against both parties and their politicians, that means all of them, for a couple decades now. So, hope all you want in Trump and the Republican party, but I treat them the same as the democratic party, there is no lesser evil in this game. Hope you learn that.
What about I reject instead of hate?
Whatever makes you feel good. Hate is just a word.
Its not until one kills, that you gain the rights of being called, “the devil”, so he’s at least done that.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Sometimes people say, “Here is something new!” But actually it is old; nothing is ever truly new.
No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
Finally, as we have to live together I go with Bon Jovi’s music pearl:
“It’s my life, It’s now or never, I aint gonna live forever, I just wanna live when I’m alive”.

“You cant convince them that white is white, and black is black.
The only thing which can wake them up is an iron boot in their fat bottoms, and then up against a wall and shot. THEN they will wake up“.
Bertrand Russell begged to differ over white being black. See his statement about snow in ‘The Impact of Science in Society’. As for waking up when up against a wall, I wouldn’t bet on that one either. The goal is to get people to embrace joyfully their own destruction as per ‘Logan’s Run’ – and the numbers that still believe the Green deception and cheered on “assisted” dying suggest they’ve succeeded with more than a few. We’re a cancer on the planet… resources are scarce…. I wouldn’t want to block a bed for someone more deserving…. this world and its materiality are evil anyway…. or at best the product of random chance with zero meaning or telos….
I think I agree with you.
Now Bezmenov meant when someone was put up against the wall and shot, the other Leftists would wake up and realize their passivation bs didnt worked any longer.
Yes, but it gets to a point where you need to defend yourself against their mania, as they would rather see you dead if you refuse to participate too in saving the green planet with pink hair.
There is an elephant in the room that cares a lot.
To be fair, though: Trump largely got elected by inciting hatred of Biden and his supporters. The Uniparty does this every four years: it doesn’t matter which party.
Yep…and the reason Carney got elected up here in Canuckistan was by inciting hatred for Trump…who has nothing to do with Canada, except by trying to destroy it (as the elbows up folks say) with wicked tariffs.
Trump is just a showman who’s job is to distract us while the Project2025 agenda is implemented. He might play the buffoon — he might even be a buffoon — but this isn’t important, what’s happening in front of our noses is nothing short of a complete remake of the entire government. I’m not sure what the purpose is, its certainly not going to “Make America Great Again”, but its impact on us is that our Federal government not only has serious fascist leanings but its working on imposing its will on the states so I’d guess that the primary goal is just power for power’s sake.
This isn’t a new phenomenon, we’ve been trending this way for maybe a century. What is called Project2025 today has another name, something like “Mandate for America”, 40 years ago and has popped up before this in various guises (see Sinclair Lewis’s “It Can’t Happen Here” — published in the 30s, for example). Dividing the world into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ — ‘allies’ and ‘adversaries’ — does create some weird contradictions, but only in our world. Other people just carry on doing what they do. So, yes, its possible for Trump and Putin to agree on Ukraine but that doesn’t make them best buds, it just means that they reach the same general conclusion from completely different perspectives. That’s not ‘agreeing’. This kind of reasoning leads to false dichotomies — China and the US are, according to one news feed, negotiating to prevent escalation of their trade ‘war’, two pugilists involved in a fight that we can observe as spectators. The reality is more likely — IMHO — that we didn’t think things through very well so overplayed our hand, expecting the other side to fold from ‘shock and awe’ while the other side likely has a rather well thought out strategy based on us telegraphing our moves sometimes years in advance. (They’ll probably wait for us to recalibrate once the implications of what we’ve done hit us.)
Anyway, I’ve drawn my horns in and expect several years of upheaval while the rest of the world just goes on its way, doing what it does and generally ignoring us to the best of its ability.
How dare you say “Who cares?” The late pope Francis cared!:

Though there may be a problem:
Well if this new mobile health clinic isn’t fitted with a bullet proof, bomb proof, psycho-Zio-proof shell then it may not be much use!
In any case:
OK scratch that!
Travelling the world I have been pleasantly surprised by many Catholic institutions. The top, the Vatican, the Kardinals, have a bad reputation from the pedo cases and the Pope’s Auditorium designed as a snake, a.s.o.
But out in real life many nuns and monks do a nice job. Catholic schools may have 5-10% religious but the rest is solid education in contradiction to most Liberals bs schools.
Same with Catholic hospitals, First Aid.
So roses in the middle of the not so perfect do have their own rights..
