I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

I sure wish I had not learned so much over the last five years. In retrospect, five short years ago seems almost like Mayberry. Here are some important things that I didn’t know five years ago or now.

There actually is a deep state and they really do not honor the election results nor the will of the people.

There really appear to be lawless elements within the upper echelons of the FBI, CIA, and NSA who are not accountable for their crimes and are thus above the law.

The fourth branch of government, the bureaucracy, really is unaccountable to the "unwashed masses."

Many of our top military command, along with many in the Military Industrial Complex, don't always hate wars. There's a lot of money and many promotions to be made during a time of war. The last 4 years saw no new wars and even troops coming home. For some, that is bad for business.

1984 and Animal Farm are no longer works of fiction, but prophecies.

George Orwell was righter than Nostradamus.

The news media centers of New York City and Washington, DC are not neutral arbitrators of the truth, but uncomfortably resemble TASS and Pravda from the Soviet Union days.

The old robber barons like Rockefeller, Carnegie and JP Morgan are starting to look a whole lot better compared to the new Robber Barons like Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.

The United States Supreme Court would actually refuse to hear a legitimate case because they were scared and frightened of violence.

The left insist on conflating and equating evangelical Christians with White supremacists. This should terrify the Christian community.

Words such as mom, dad, aunt, uncle, brother and sister are now not words of love and respect; but are considered politically incorrect verbiage in Congress.

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.” - George Orwell, 1984

Censorship, the cancel culture, and becoming a nonperson comes from the left, not the right.

The left, not the right, actually is going to try and deny citizens rights afforded to all in the Bill of Rights.

Violence from The Left is regarded as free speech and noble, while violence from the right is classified as sedition and felonious by powerful institutions.

It really is not Republicans vs. Democrats, but globalists vs. nationalists.

The new McCarthyism, blacklists, history re-writers, and re-education camps are coming from the left, not the right.

Fences and barriers are a good thing for our nation's capital but somehow a bad thing for our nation's borders.

Our Founding Fathers of yesteryear would be called "domestic terrorists" by some today.

Presidential elections really can be stolen by corrupting just a handful of precincts in just a handful of states.

Calling into question the validity of the 2016 presidential election is patriotic, while calling into question the validity of the 2020 presidential election is treasonous.

Sometimes, an event once seen can not be unseen.
That is why we hear many immigrants to the United States sounding the alarms about corupt governments. Unequal protection under the same laws.

They know exactly what that looks like, from the beginning to the generational hell they must hand over to their grandchildren.

(h/t MtnClimber post) “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative,
when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
“Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city,
people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase,
but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people
with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and,
notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough.
And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
- The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn (11 December 1918 – 3 August 2008)

Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

The left is largely an illusion supported by propaganda and created by fraudulent electoral processes

“honest” votes for Biden were 30-35 million. At most.

What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan -Mondale blowout-and Mondale was a “moderate” !-is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise.

This last election cycle Texas managed to turn it around.
Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.

Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational
with the existing perps, but it beats the heck outta the
alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train

The left has focused on corrupting this process-which originates in the deep urban centers. The process is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.

We the People have no future otherwise

These people INTEND to “rule”

[Erik Latranyi]

A fetus has always been a nonperson to the left.

Now they are trying to paint political opponents as nonpersons.

Many supporters of the left openly advocate and endorse the extermination of political opponents using any excuse that is convenient.....terrorist, racist, fascist, etc.

[Erik Latranyi]

These people INTEND to “rule”

And our side wants to compete.

That is why we fail.

[Does so]

“There really appear to be lawless elements within the upper echelons of the FBI, CIA, and NSA who are not accountable for their crimes and are thus above the law”.

It’s happening while we watch!

Worldwide, the Left since the late 1700’s, has always been dependent upon a compliant media/propaganda arm, as well as when possible, the corruption of the local electoral processes.

That we now even have a decent shot at getting out from under their kayfabe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

is consequent modern, lateral communications among citizens, independent of central nodes of control-(a newspaper editorial office for example)

our liability is that while the Left plays for keeps, the rest of us want to get on with our lives. They’re not gonna permit that any longer.

I wish I didn’t know now that the predictions of Nikita Khrushchev could be right and we’d see it right before our eyes in our lifetime……..In 1956 he said “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within....”. and in 1959 he said “We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism until one day they will awaken to find they have communism.”

None of this will matter if Mitch McConnell is not deposed.

He forgot to mention the lawless elements within the upper echelons of the GOP who are not accountable for their crimes and are thus above the law.

How else can one explain the inaction of the GOP when massive voter fraud is staring them in the face?

True, but they would have already started shooting.

Chilling. Thanks. I’m glad I read this thread.

This has always been the case. Trump’s presidency just exposed it.
