Welcome to the most dangerous two years in American history.
Nations change course slowly, like giant ocean liners. True disasters take a long time to unfold. If you think things look terrible now, you’re not using your imagination. The Biden Administration has only been in power for a little over a year. They got their crowbar in the door early with COVID, but we’ve barely tasted what the professional political class has in store for us.
Imagine gas at $10 a gallon, or $15. Imagine food staples so scarce you have to buy them with a ration card (displayed in a government-mandated phone app that tracks your family’s consumption). Imagine a new pandemic with a pathogen much deadlier than COVID, that actually kills a substantial number of the people it infects. Imagine an infrastructure attack that erases peoples’ bank accounts. Imagine a real, global war.
I’ve already written in support of Ukraine here, and I have been warning about the danger of a Russia-China alliance for a long time. But something about this Ukraine business rubs me the wrong way: All the people who updated their profile pictures with vaccination status to posture and to shame their friends have now updated their profile pictures again with Ukrainian flags. The mainstream media is in lockstep support. We’re bombarded with ridiculous stories about the “Ghost of Kiev” and Ukrainian farmers dismantling Russian tank columns. Last Friday, former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush visited a Ukrainian church together to lay flowers.
Something is definitely wrong here.
When we see the real establishment out in such force, it should set alarm bells off in our brains: We may not understand the nature of the lie, yet. But we can be certain they are lying to us.

The universal axiom: We can be CERTAIN they are lying to us.

AND THERE IS THE MONEY QUOTE
It’s going to be interesting to see how this nation dies.
War?
Civil War?
Nuclear attack?
Natural Disaster of Epic Proportions?
I am reminded of what happened to my Brother-in-law’s parents in West Texas in 1943.
Being ranchers they raised their own food, canned it stocked their cellar and had plenty for themselves and their hired hands.
Then someone snitched and called them a “Food Hoarder”.
Government agents came out and confiscated every bit of food they had in their cellar, home canned and all.
How did they survive? They had another cellar hidden out in the hills also stocked.
This.🙄
No motor cars, not a single luxury.😏
That needs to happen.
But I don’t expect it to happen.🙄
Last Friday, former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush visited a Ukrainian church together to lay flowers.
Funny how G.W. ended up with Barry Seal’s airplane.
Uhhhmm, let me get back to you on that.🤔
Cats and dogs living together?😁
Is that like the “Spandau Ballet”?
My former Senator from SC, Jim DeMint a former businessman, wrote a book about his experience.
Recalling from my memory he basically reported that in his first and only term, he was called to GW Bush’s office about a vote he disagreed with. Present was not just GW but VP Cheney.
They told DeMint if he didn’t vote as they instructed, they would not support him financially for the next election and that his job as a junior senator was to raise money for others and do as he was told.
He quit, not because of lack of campaign cash but because his eyes were opened to the deep state swamp and he wanted no part of it.
We can get good people but cannot keep them.
That it is.
From a sudden disappearance of millions who are the only thing holding back true chaos!
While I get your point, I was writing along the lines of the boy who cried wolf. When the wolf eventually appeared (”liar telling the truth about the situation”) no one believed him and so he was devoured.
In our political situation, it is not the liars who necessarily will be harmed, but if they are, a lot of innocent people will be going down with them. It matters not whether they re lying, or like the boy who cried wolf are telling the truth. Like the boy, the US would not be in this situation (nor Afghanistan) had they told the truth all along.
What should be the consequences for leaders determined to be seeking to enslave their own people?
..............................................
Didn’t the French definitively answer that question in 1792?
You do know that Trump supports Ukraine don’t you?
.............................................
Perhaps I’m just confused, but is there some reason that Trump or anyone else in the West should be supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?
We can not abandon our moral compass just because people we greatly dislike are on the side of Ukraine. Our reasons are different from theirs, the facts remain the facts. Putin invaded Ukraine.
.................................................
You have stated exactly my own thoughts on this matter. These two issues should not be commingled by anyone given the fact that Russia launched an UNPROVOKED military attack on Ukraine and has killed thousands of its non-combatants. NOTHING can justify that heinous act!
Like Robinson Crusoe..... primitive as can be.
Any consequences would have to be adminstered by We The People. Those in government aren’t going to mete out justice.
