“How does the Left plan on staying in power after pissing everyone off? You don’t win elections that way- and the scale of necessary cheating would be obvious to any Mr. And Mrs. Six-Pack, who robotically vote Democrat.”

The left doesn’t have to. It’s the long approach. They get implemented quickly as much of their crackpot schemes as they can, get booted out of office for a time (and given the overall stupidity of the American electorate, it’s not a long time), get back in by bitching about the right and outright lying, and do it all over again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

That’s why republicans need to TAKE QUICK, MEANINGFUL ACTION when they get elected. Unfortunately, they’ve never really done so. They seem to play by the dem/left/media rules and are afraid of the inevitable criticism/name calling from those parties.

I read a blurb a couple of days ago that told of a female Democrat in Boston (I think it was Boston) that said anyone who is homeless should be able to just break in to any “abandoned” home and make it their own. She was referring to those “second homes” that some people own but don’t live in it, like a vacation home or maybe ones that they bought to flip or something, I don’t know. What do you consider “abandoned”? The whole idea is telling people to just steal someone’s property.

Just like the Kenyanesian Usurpation parts I & II, part III required the assistance of the Assistant Democrats.

The Big Steal was bipartisan, the Democrats could not have pulled it off without them.

Thus I propose "Nolnah's Razor": "Attribute to malice rather than stupidity the accusation by opponents of an objectively reasonable policy
that support for such a policy derives from unethical motives."

<>The solution is a revolution.<>

That was the Framers’ intent with Article V. Avoid the usual ending of most republics through peaceful change.

That’s not us.

When things are “bad enough”, we will scream for government to quit or be fired. From a cannon.

This is part of the Cloward Piven strategy of economic collapse by design and the book 1984. It is plain and evident to be seen happening now. Cloward and Piven were avowed Marxists.

Cloward and Piven were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work. The strategy was outlined in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine The Nation titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty”.[1]

The two stated that many Americans who were eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment drive would strain local budgets, precipitating a crisis at the state and local levels that would be a wake-up call for the federal government, particularly the Democratic Party. There would also be side consequences of this strategy, according to Cloward and Piven. These would include: easing the plight of the poor in the short-term (through their participation in the welfare system); shoring up support for the national Democratic Party-then splintered by pluralistic interests (through its cultivation of poor and minority constituencies by implementing a national “solution” to poverty); and relieving local governments of the financially and politically onerous burdens of public welfare (through a national “solution” to poverty).[1]
Strategy

Cloward and Piven’s article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor. They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare “would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments” that would: “...deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas.”[2]

They further wrote:

The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.[2]

Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven “proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income. They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy.”[3]

One Party Global Governance. Mandatory injections forever.

No compliance=massive international sanctions enforced by the Global Military, of which your formerly national military is but a part. Total domestic lockdowns with physical brutality ala Shanghai and Victoria, AU, forever.

No fossil fuel available. No meat or animal protein available. No private ownership. No privacy. Digital programmed scrip.Corporate-run everything.

WHO is the new visible ruler. Rebel and be sanctioned, unable to work, use money or eat.

The last 2 years were the beta tests.

So far, Russia Africa and Brazil are dissenting.

WEF & the UN have all the details on their sites. The granularity is impressive.

As I currently understand the situation, this is all to be coordinated by a true AI that, so far, doesn’t exist. They got ahead of themselves and hope to have the real deal by 2045.

Personally, I’m delighted I will not be around for that event.

All my retirement plans are kaput. I am pissed off. In the end for me there was no point in all of this “planning”. Just work ‘til you drop. I will unfortunately “die in the harness”.

So globalization is finished and Vladimir Putin he played his role and it was a big one. But, the bizarre thing about this is that the initiative to do all this thing that brought the temple down, if you like on everybody’s head, the temple of globalization crashing down, it was done by the very advocates of globalization themselves because they misread the Russian economy...they weren’t listening to Robert Barnes who could have pointed out to them the Russians have all the oil and energy and food so they will be all right. They can survive the siege. They didn’t listen, they went ahead. They thought that this “one dimensional economy the size of Paraguay” or whatever it is that they say would come crashing down like a house of cards. And now they’ve discovered they were completely wrong and what is crashing down like a house of cards is the whole structure of globalization that they spent the last 70 years creating.

______________________________________

I think this is accurate.

I also think the globos won’t quit. It’s beyond control for them now and all they know is to double down on the same iterative algorithm.

Putin has the receipts and will likely go ahead with tribunals, naming names while the globos scream.

Cue incoming global financial collapse. It’s the only remaining play. Russia’s new financial structures will be the future. All of Africa is resisting and they possess vital mineral resources.

But first comes more pain.

It’s a mess here too.
Last Year Full retirement
June 1st. and spent 4 months moving from
San Diego to Arizona.
Financially I was/am
In better shape than I’d thought being an old single
Now I believe we are headed into the Last Days.
Last Days-—
I’m terrified and Amazed that we may be seeing the
Book of Revelation unfold before Our very Eyes.
.
We must Finish Well.
We have a Friend that’s
Closer than a Brother.
