But unless the public demands that their universities enforce on campus the Bill of Rights and the right to move freely in safety, that police enforce laws against mob violence on America’s streets and in our schools, and that the United States stops greenlighting mass immigration from anti-Western nations and extending student visas to residents of anti-American, terrorist-supporting, and autocratic Middle East regimes, then in suicidal fashion we are headed for a 1930s nightmare.

The public is too comfy to do a darn thing.

OK, but I would say that in 1930 not everyone knew what the Nazis would do.

Yes. My original point was that some voter groups vote against what they claim to believe.

“OK, but I would say that in 1930 not everyone knew what the Nazis would do.”

Agree. Socialists’ promises are always sweeter than the reality. People still fall for them time after time.

Wrong. Fly over America and look down from a plane. Ask yourself if the people down below will just say “Okay here’s my gun comrade or come and take it”
Do you really think we will roll over like Europe? Whom do YOU think is buying all those guns?
Do you think that it we were unarmed THEY would not have swarmed us by now -REALLY?

... have we already killed the person who was going to cure cancer or some other dred disease??

We killed the person able to cure us of our most deadly problem: SIN.


But Jesus rose again to make available the medicine to save us from this pestilence - Salvation.

But; unlike the COVID shots; it is NOT forced upon us.

We take the cure of our own free will.

This morning I was listening to a couple of Richard Dolan videos and he is making an argument I have not seen elsewhere—and it is as terrifying as the worst alien abduction story....

He suggests that the government cannot cross the “red line” of UFO disclosure (which he defines as releasing proof of possession of alien craft and bodies) until.....

They have the capability of effectively silencing all dissent so they can fully manage and control the narrative.

That would probably involve criminalizing any speech opposing the narrative (version of events) as “evil and dangerous conspiracy theories” probably planted by Russia Russia Russia etal....

The narrative would be some form of “we killed some whistleblowers in the “bad old days”—but it was necessary for national security”.

Yep. I subscribe to Dolan's youtube channel and watch all this videos. He has always been very clear-headed about disclosure.

The Intel Community has its back up against the wall over the UAP Disclosure Bill and Congress. It's anyone's guess where this is going. It seems that they (the IC) are putting all their chips behind Mike Turner (chrm of the Intel Committee) and he is mad as hell (or so I hear).

I have been listening to Steve Bassett on various podcasts over the last week and he seems to have the best take on the situation in DC at the moment.

I am a little more optimistic lately but you never know til the fat lady sings.;-)

What I can't figure out is why Speaker Mike Johnson is backing Turner on this matter. Hopefully Johnson will come to his senses. The only thing I have heard from Johnson is that he thinks the bill is poorly written...not that it shouldn't be passed.

I hear the biggest fight is over eminent domain (which apparently means the contractors don't want to lose the assets they have accumulated).

As we have said over and over again, if there was nothing to disclose, the Deep State wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail to kill the bill.
