There's no going back from here.
The only question is How Fast and How Furious.
What’s the rush?
“...great deal of explanatory power...”
The essence of Science.
Why would they treat De Santis any better than they would Trump? I have nothing against De Santis. I just don't understand the premise that De Santis wouldn't get the same debilitating Trump would just because Ron De Santis is not Donald Trump.
Babylon has Fallen, fallen...sooner or later it’ll all come tumbling down.

Vaccine Deaths Outnumber Covid Deaths in U.S. Households, Two New Polls Confirm
“The pooled results of five surveys of the American public, now totalling over 2,500 people, show that while 4.4% of respondents reported that someone in their household had died from COVID-19, 8.9% said someone had died as a result of Covid vaccination.
The results also showed that 8.6% said they had been injured by their vaccination, 4.9% that they had sought medical help and 3.2% that they had been hospitalised, while 3.6% said that as a result of vaccination they were no longer able to work a full day or at all. These are percentages of all respondents. If we look only at the 74.0% vaccinated with at least one dose then the figures, as a proportion of vaccinated persons, are 11.7% injured, 6.7% needing medical help, 4.4% hospitalised and 4.8% unable to work. While these figures are self-reported and there is no control group, since the unvaccinated were not asked about adverse events, they are still alarmingly high.

Another (small) data point about the kill shot
“Collapse will come - we can pretty safely predict that - but the specifics are always going to be a little fuzzy until they happen. So it’s probably best to be ready for any eventuality.”
I’m pretty well-seasoned at this by now. Survived Carter, survived 0bama, currently surviving Brandon.
Just a reminder: Mother Government is NOT your friend, no matter who we have at the helm. Plan accordingly.
Ya, the oft repeated Old Testament examples are less complex, yet equally predictive.
Pretty close to my own philosophy. Thanks for posting.
This is another method of convincing people that the nation is going to fall and nothing you can do to change that.
So if we pump more of our oil, remove illegals, hang the DS, nothing will cjange. It’s the same hame with the same players for the last 10,000 years.
Collapses don't have "breaking points", they reach maximum compression and then they stop.
Reading history makes one realize that it can, and has, happened everywhere. And worse. And every developed civilization has sincerely believed it couldn’t happen to them. The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history.
Pagan Rome ended its persecution of Christians across its empire in a moment by the edict of Milan through its once pagan Emperor - Constantine.
Israel, against impossible odds, became a nation in a day on May 14th 1948.
The Lord has the final say in the affairs of men and nations.
"Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying, “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.”.....
Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, requiring a three-day journey. On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!” And the Ninevites believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least. When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let no man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink. Furthermore, let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and have everyone call out earnestly to God. Let each one turn from his evil ways and from the violence in his hands. Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.” When God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways—He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them."
The job of the Christian is to proclaim the gospel. The Lord has promised that His Word will not return void! Preach Christ! Preach Truth & Grace! Intercede for our children and the seed that follows them.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." - Paul speaking in Ephesians 6:10-20
“ But see, we can’t just go through life constantly worrying about what TPTB might possibly do in every situation.” This is something most conservatives can’t seem to get through their heads.
“Maybe it’s time to grow a spine and just do what you need to do with locals in your area? Honestly, if people just want to constantly blackpill about maybes/might bes/could bes, then they should just sit down, shut up, sit in their pods, watch Netflix, and eat their bugs.”
This is, to me, likely what WILL happen if there’s to be trouble. People of like mind and determination will get together and damn the consequences. These probably won’t be anywhere near even ten percent of the right wing.
Yaddyyaddyya.same as it ever was
I’ve only gotten through half of this article so far, but I thought it was so well-done and aligns with what (Matt) you have been saying a long time now, that it is important to bring to your attentions.
Excellent article. He’s a good writer and I generally agree with what he wrote, unfortunately.
In case you’re interested.
Not to difficult to predict the consequences of (eventually) no fuel, empty Walmarts and grocery stores, non existent law enforcement and weak people.
