2024: Do We Hit the Iceberg or Finally Change Course?
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jan, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 01/02/2024 4:48:04 AM PST by MtnClimber

owever bad this year might prove to be, it might also be tremendously liberating.

It is difficult for any American who loves this country to watch its political, economic, and military “leaders” destroy it. Part of the political theater propping up the illusion of electoral choice in this Kabuki dance that the State-controlled press calls “democracy” is the lie that officeholders from different parties are at each other’s throats. More Americans than ever finally see through this convenient fiction and understand that a single Uniparty acts as a guild of political thespians who are the face of a permanently entrenched national security Deep State that runs the show.

Furthermore, more Americans than ever finally recognize that the United States is not a country that supports free markets but rather a central bank-directed financial cartel that regulates labor, commodities, and transactions so stringently that there is nothing outside of the government’s (or Wall Street’s) economic control. Taxing Americans’ labor, forcing them to use an inflation-driven paper currency, and encumbering their ownership of real property are not policies for encouraging middle class prosperity; they are chains meant to create debt-anchored, government-dependent slaves.

For many decades, it seemed as if a vanguard of American communists were pushing these destructive policies and operating as a kind of fifth column from within an otherwise pro-America governing class. Whether that fifth column was always much larger than it appeared or whether it simply succeeded, through strategic patience, in conquering America’s political and economic institutions and converting them to its advantage, there is no question that America’s internal demolition is now an all-of-government operation.

You do not hand a private central bank the power to print dollar bills, unless you expect those dollars to become untethered from any gold standard...

We left the gold standard a long time ago. Joe can print as much paper money as he wants, thinking he is creating wealth.

If you are actually committed to preserving the U.S. Constitution, you do not put the whole American population under warrantless surveillance and excuse that grotesque affront to the Bill of Rights as necessary for “national security.”

The commies have a puppet in the nations highest office and all they have to do is offer him ice cream to get him to do what they want.

"Joe, if you ban all fossil fuels, we will get you a vanilla cone later on"

"Oh goody!"

"Look at me! I got ice cream! I got ice cream!"

Speaking of hitting the iceberg....I read that the Titanic was built like an ice breaker ship, and should have just plowed thru the iceberg.

I’ve seen ice breakers and they just go right thru the ice.

Can’t course correct when 70% of the people don’t even realize they’re supposed to be in charge. They want to be lead like sheep even if it’s to a slaughter. The slaughter is what they are headed for. If they see it while we still have time for course correction then fine. But they don’t see it yety

We hit the iceberg in 2020.

Now we either plug the leak or sink.

Ice breakers (ships) aren't designed to break up icebergs. They are designed to break ice crusts covering the sea.

If that were indeed the case, then Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it.

And this image doesn’t even show the kind of growlers that killed Titanic.

And what are we voters supposed to do to stop it?

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners.

They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.

They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting f....d by a system that threw them overboard 30 f...ing years ago. They don’t want that.

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly s...tier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ‘cause they own this f...ing place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

-George Carlin
