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...

Oh that one of them, JUST ONE OR TWO, would come clean and tell the truth on live TV. Even Herr Hillary Pantsuitedness.

Well, it’s worth a prayer. It will never happen, of course.

Certainly the military and wider national security apparatus have thrown their lots in with the communists.

Well, at least Shurk realizes that when the SHTF, the military and police will stomp on your face without hesitation, because they absolutely will. This becomes more true every day, as both military and police are demoralized, causing patriots to leave, to be replaced by leftists.

We’ve already hit the iceberg and taking on water, the question is if there’s enough folks willing to bail to keep us afloat.

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

Oh I think the victim tone there is working very well

Maybe they’ll finally feel bad about it

Yeah. Maybe the election stealers will get wise to how stealing elections is mean and they’ll stop it.

That’s working out really well

You didn’t answer the question. And what do you recommend that the voters do to stop it?

Those cheating year after year in blue cities without much worrying about repercussions need to feel very differently about the personal impact of and severe consequences for their cheating. How that occurs systemically is a question. For example, most people know that banks have money. Yet, banks are not robbed everywhere, several times a day for that money. I’m thinking that is because most people have awareness and fear the consequences of robbing banks. There’s an analogy here but I’m having difficulty connecting the two situations into teachable moments for the election fraudsters.

I asked you first. You were the one complaining about the voters allowing the election theft.

If we loved it they wouldn’t have to lie about it.

We’ve got two choices.

So far we’ve been willing to use the peaceful option.

Wouldn’t you far rather exhaust that one first?

Don’t be silly. Paper ballots. Period.

I don’t think there is a peaceful option. The Democrats have removed it.

As we all know, each member of the U.S. military takes an oath to defend the Constitution.

Despite people on the Left (including Gen Milley) whining about Trump being a threat to the Constitution, it is, in fact, this very group who is overthrowing it. Very Marxian to accuse your opponents of what you are going to do (hence the Left's accusations against Trump).

If the military doesn't rid itself of traitors and then take measures to restore the Constitution, the only option remaining is (unfortunately) a counter-revolution of civilians.

Speaking of silly. What do you think will happen if the few non-RINOs in the GOP demand paper ballots?

Nothing.

As Dorothy said to Toto (paraphrased), "We're not in Kansas anymore."
