We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s.

Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live.

The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization.

It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath.

The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump.

At a DEI workshop, politely object that “whiteness” does not account for all the challenges of “marginalized peoples,” and you will become either ostracized, reprimanded, or perhaps fired.

SEE ALSO 59 leaders have signed a new declaration for America, defending our nation. America is under assault. Those who love our nation must defend her Suggest to a class that man-made climate change and the state remedies for it, are still under debate — and your career and livelihood are endangered. In 2020, state that COVID lockdowns would do more eventual damage than the virus—and your career was through.

Express doubt that there are more than two biological sexes, and if an athlete or high school principal you will be shunned

For those who still don't grok...
You think I'm talking about rabbit holes and human nature and not enough time to explore them all. (reply 20)

Have you considered the time on the clock? 5 o'clock. (reply 22)
Read reply 5. Read my subtle message, hidden in time.

If you know how to do it you can say things without saying anything...directly.

I'm not doing it to you, I'm showing you how it's being done to you.

Fore warned is fore armed.

It was being done all of the time.
Information and knowledge is key.

What else, hiding in plain sight,
are we in the general public still missing?

This has actually been in the works for decades. If you have ever seen the 1973 movie about the JF Kennedy assassination, called Executive Action they were talking about cutting the population down to 500 million worldwide, and it won't be any of us remaining. the movie was about the assassination, but there was dialog in there about depopulating the planet. They have been dropping hints to others, realizing we wouldn't have a clue what it up.

Obama said the quiet part out loud and no one noticed. Except Rush.

An associated situation...
Fury as Porsche 'airbrushes out' statue of Jesus in new 911 promo advert: Image of the famous Cristo Rei landmark in Lisbon is 'erased' from background of clip that celebrates 60 years of the iconic car

Something hidden from plain sight.
