Y’all are smart. You are part of the three percent who really understand. Consider if you will, the backdrop of current U.S. politics; the influence of Wall Street and the multinationals who align with globalism; the reality of K-Street lobbyists writing the physical legislation that politicians sell to Americans; and then overlay what you are witnessing as those same multinationals now attack the foundation of our constitutional republic.
Think about the bigger picture, the progressive picture, the ultimate goal and the explanation of my oft mentioned catchphrase “there are trillions at stake.”
Then, perhaps, just perhaps, take a few minutes to re-watch this segment from a movie circa 1976. Replace Ned Beatty with Donald Trump… The issues are identical. It has been thus since the rise of the multinationals:
.
Recently there have been many critics of President Trump; many people proclaiming that President Trump did not do enough to block, impede, stop and counteract the globalist forces that are aligned against his effort to Make America Great Again. There are people who proclaim that Donald J Trump should have been more wise in his counsel; more selective in his cabinet. Let me be clear….
I will never join that crew of Trump critics because I understand his adversary. I understand the scope of the enemy, the scale of the war, the financial and economic power of the opposition, and the effort it will take to stop decades of willful blindness amid 97% of the American people. I also see exactly what they are doing now, even with President Trump forcefully removed from office, to destroy the threat he still represents.
Donald J Trump was/is a walking red-pill; a “touchstone”: a visible, empirical test or criterion for determining the quality or genuineness of anything political. I have been deep enough into the network of the Deep State to understand the scale and scope of this enemy. To think that President Trump alone could carry the burden of correcting four decades of severe corruption of all things political, without simultaneously considering the scale of the opposition, is naive in the extreme.
♦ POTUS Trump was disrupting the global order of things in order to protect and preserve the shrinking interests of the U.S. He was fighting, almost single-handed, at the threshold of the abyss. Our American interests, our MAGAnomic position, was/is essentially zero-sum. His DC and Wall-Street aligned opposition (writ large) needed to repel and retain the status-quo. They desperately wanted him removed so they could return to full economic control over the U.S, because it is the foundation of their power.
You want to criticize him for fighting harder against those interests than any single man has ever done before him? If so, do it without me.
I am thankful for the awakening Donald J Trump has provided.
I am thankful now for the opportunity to fight with people who finally understand the scale of our opposition.
Without Donald J Trump these entities would still be operating in the shadows. With Donald J Trump we can clearly see who the real enemy is.
In these economic endeavors President Trump was disrupting decades of financial schemes established to use the U.S. as a host for their endeavors. President Trump was confronting multinational corporations and the global constructs of economic systems that were put in place to the detriment of the host (USA) ie YOU. There are trillions at stake; it is all about the economics; everything else is chaff and countermeasures.
The road to a “service-driven economy” is paved with a great disparity between financial classes. The wealth gap is directly related to the inability of the middle-class to thrive.
Elite financial interests, including those within Washington DC, gain wealth and power, the U.S. workforce is reduced to servitude, “service”, of their affluent needs.
The destruction of the U.S. industrial and manufacturing base is EXACTLY WHY the middle class has struggled, and exactly why the wealth gap exploded in the past 30 years.
Behind this dynamic we find the international corporate and financial interests who are inherently at risk from President Trump’s “America-First” economic and trade platform. Believe it or not, President Trump is up against an entire world economic establishment.
When we understand how trade works in the modern era we understand why the agents within the system are so adamantly opposed to U.S. President Trump.
♦The biggest lie in modern economics, willingly spread and maintained by corporate media, is that a system of global markets still exists.
It doesn’t.
Every element of global economic trade is controlled and exploited by massive institutions, multinational banks and multinational corporations. Institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Bank control trillions of dollars in economic activity.
Underneath that economic activity there are people who hold the reigns of power over the outcomes. These individuals and groups are the stakeholders in direct opposition to principles of America-First national economics. Collectively known as “The Big Club”.
The modern financial constructs of these entities have been established over the course of the past three decades. When you understand how they manipulate the economic system of individual nations you begin to understand why they are so fundamentally opposed to President Trump.
In the Western World, separate from communist control perspectives (ie. China), “Global markets” are a modern myth; nothing more than a talking point meant to keep people satiated with sound bites they might find familiar. Global markets have been destroyed over the past three decades by multinational corporations who control the products formerly contained within global markets.
The same is true for “Commodities Markets”. The multinational trade and economic system, run by corporations and multinational banks, now controls the product outputs of independent nations. The free market economic system has been usurped by entities who create what is best described as ‘controlled markets’.
U.S. President Trump understood what had taken place. He used economic leverage as part of a broader national security policy; and to understand who opposes President Trump specifically because of the economic leverage he creates, it becomes important to understand the objectives of the global and financial elite who run and operate the institutions. The Big Club.
Understanding how trillions of trade dollars influence geopolitical policy we begin to understand the three-decade global financial construct they seek to retain and protect.
That is, global financial exploitation of national markets.
FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS:
♦Multinational corporations purchase controlling interests in various national outputs (harvests and raw materials), and ancillary industries, of developed industrial western nations. {example}
♦The Multinational Corporations making the purchases are underwritten by massive global financial institutions, multinational banks. (*note* in China it is the communist government underwriting the purchase)
♦The Multinational Banks and the Multinational Corporations then utilize lobbying interests to manipulate the internal political policy of the targeted nation state(s).
♦With control over the targeted national industry or interest, the multinationals then leverage export of the national asset (exfiltration) through trade agreements structured to the benefit of lesser developed nation states – where they have previously established a proactive financial footprint.
Against the backdrop of President Trump confronting China; and against the backdrop of NAFTA renegotiated; and against the necessary need to support the key U.S. steel and aluminum industries; revisiting the economic influences within the modern import/export dynamic will help conceptualize the issues at the heart of the matter.
There are a myriad of interests within each trade sector that make specific explanation very challenging; however, here’s the basic outline.
For three decades economic “globalism” has advanced, quickly. Everyone accepts this statement, yet few actually stop to ask who and what are behind this – and why?
Influential people with vested financial interests in the process have sold a narrative that global manufacturing, global sourcing, and global production was the inherent way of the future. The same voices claimed the American economy was consigned to become a “service-driven economy.”
What was always missed in these discussions is that advocates selling this global-economy message have a vested financial and ideological interest in convincing the information consumer it is all just a natural outcome of economic progress.
It’s not.
It’s not natural at all. It is a process that is entirely controlled, promoted and utilized by large conglomerates, lobbyists, purchased politicians and massive financial corporations.
Again, I’ll try to retain the larger altitude perspective without falling into the traps of the esoteric weeds. I freely admit this is tough to explain and I may not be successful.
Bulletpoint #1: ♦ Multinational corporations purchase controlling interests in various national elements of developed industrial western nations.
This is perhaps the most challenging to understand. In essence, thanks specifically to the way the World Trade Organization (WTO) was established in 1995, national companies expanded their influence into multiple nations, across a myriad of industries and economic sectors (energy, agriculture, raw earth minerals, etc.). This is the basic underpinning of national companies becoming multinational corporations.
Think of these multinational corporations as global entities now powerful enough to reach into multiple nations -simultaneously- and purchase controlling interests in a single economic commodity.
A historic reference point might be the original multinational enterprise, energy via oil production. (Exxon, Mobil, BP, etc.)
However, in the modern global world, it’s not just oil; the resource and product procurement extends to virtually every possible commodity and industry. From the very visible (wheat/corn) to the obscure (small minerals, and even flowers).
Bulletpoint #2 ♦ The Multinational Corporations making the purchases are underwritten by massive global financial institutions, multinational banks.
During the past several decades national companies merged. The largest lemon producer company in Brazil, merges with the largest lemon company in Mexico, merges with the largest lemon company in Argentina, merges with the largest lemon company in the U.S., etc. etc. National companies, formerly of one nation, become “continental” companies with control over an entire continent of nations.
…. or it could be over several continents or even the entire world market of Lemon/Widget production. These are now multinational corporations. They hold interests in specific segments (this example lemons) across a broad variety of individual nations.
National laws on Monopoly building are not the same in all nations. Most are not as structured as the U.S.A or other more developed nations (with more laws). During the acquisition phase, when encountering a highly developed nation with monopoly laws, the process of an umbrella corporation might be needed to purchase the targeted interests within a specific nation. The example of Monsanto applies here.
Bulletpoint #3 ♦The Multinational Banks and the Multinational Corporations then utilize lobbying interests to manipulate the internal political policy of the targeted nation state(s).
With control of the majority of actual lemons the multinational corporation now holds a different set of financial values than a local farmer or national market. This is why commodities exchanges are essentially dead.
In the aggregate the mercantile exchange is no longer a free or supply-based market; it is now a controlled market exploited by mega-sized multinational corporations.
Instead of the traditional ‘supply/demand’ equation determining prices, the corporations look to see what nations can afford what prices. The supply of the controlled product is then distributed to the country according to their ability to afford the price. This is essentially the bastardized and politicized function of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This is also how the corporations controlling WTO policy maximize profits.
Back to the lemons. A multinational corporation might hold the rights to the majority of the lemon production in Brazil, Argentina and California/Florida. The price the U.S. consumer pays for the lemons is directed by the amount of inventory (distribution) the controlling corporation allows in the U.S.
If the U.S. lemon harvest is abundant, the controlling interests will export the product to keep the U.S. consumer spending at peak or optimal price. A U.S. customer might pay $2 for a lemon, a Mexican customer might pay .50¢, and a Canadian $1.25.
The bottom line issue is the national supply (in this example ‘harvest/yield’) is not driving the national price because the supply is now controlled by massive multinational corporations.
The mistake people often make is calling this a “global commodity” process. In the modern era this “global commodity” phrase is particularly nonsense.
A true global commodity is a process of individual nations harvesting/creating a similar product and bringing that product to a global market. Individual nations each independently engaged in creating a similar product.
Under modern globalism this process no longer takes place. It’s a complete fraud. Massive multinational corporations control the majority of production inside each nation and therefore control the global product market and price. It is a controlled system.
EXAMPLE: Part of the lobbying in the food industry is to advocate for the expansion of U.S. taxpayer benefits to underwrite the costs of the domestic food products they control. By lobbying DC these multinational corporations get congress and policy-makers to expand the basis of who can use Food Stamps, EBT and SNAP benefits (state reimbursement rates).
Expanding the federal subsidy for food purchases is part of the corporate profit dynamic.
With increased taxpayer subsidies, the food price controllers can charge more domestically and export more of the product internationally. Taxes, via subsidies, go into their profit margins. The corporations then use a portion of those enhanced profits in contributions to the politicians. It’s a circle of money.
In highly developed nations this multinational corporate process requires the corporation to purchase the domestic political process (as above) with individual nations allowing the exploitation in varying degrees. As such, the corporate lobbyists pay hundreds of millions to politicians for changes in policies and regulations; one sector, one product, or one industry at a time. These are specialized lobbyists.
It is ironic when we discuss corporate financial payments to government officials in foreign countries we call them corrupt. However, in the United States we call it lobbying, the process is exactly the same.
EXAMPLE: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
CFIUS is an inter-agency committee authorized to review transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person (“covered transactions”), in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.
CFIUS operates pursuant to section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA) (section 721) and as implemented by Executive Order 11858, as amended, and regulations at 31 C.F.R. Part 800.
The CFIUS process has been the subject of significant reforms over the past several years. These include numerous improvements in internal CFIUS procedures, enactment of FINSA in July 2007, amendment of Executive Order 11858 in January 2008, revision of the CFIUS regulations in November 2008, and publication of guidance on CFIUS’s national security considerations in December 2008 (more)
Bulletpoint #4 ♦ With control over the targeted national industry or interest, the multinationals then leverage export of the national asset (exfiltration) through trade agreements structured to the benefit of lesser developed nation states – where they have previously established a proactive financial footprint.
The process of charging the U.S. consumer more for a product, that under normal national market conditions would cost less, is a process called exfiltration of wealth. This is the basic premise, the cornerstone, behind the catch-phrase ‘globalism’.
It is never discussed.
To control the market price some contracted product may even be secured and shipped with the intent to allow it to sit idle (or rot). It’s all about controlling the price and maximizing the profit equation. To gain the same $1 profit a widget multinational might have to sell 20 widgets in El-Salvador (.25¢ each), or two widgets in the U.S. ($2.50/each).
Think of the process like the historic reference of OPEC (Oil Producing Economic Countries). Only in the modern era massive corporations are playing the role of OPEC and it’s not oil being controlled, thanks to the WTO it’s almost everything.
Again, this is highlighted in the example of taxpayers subsidizing the food sector (EBT, SNAP etc.), the corporations can charge U.S. consumers more. Ex. more beef is exported, red meat prices remain high at the grocery store, but subsidized U.S. consumers can better afford the high prices.
Of course, if you are not receiving food payment assistance (middle-class) you can’t eat the steaks because you can’t afford them. (Not accidentally, it’s the same scheme in the ObamaCare healthcare system)
Agriculturally, multinational corporate Monsanto says: ‘all your harvests are belong to us‘. Contract with us, or you lose because we can control the market price of your end product. Downside is that once you sign that contract, you agree to terms that are entirely created by the financial interests of the larger corporation; not your farm.
The multinational agriculture lobby is massive. We willingly feed the world as part of the system; but you as a grocery customer pay more per unit at the grocery store because domestic supply no longer determines domestic price.
Within the agriculture community the (feed-the-world) production export factor also drives the need for labor. Labor is a cost. The multinational corps have a vested interest in low labor costs. Ergo, open border policies. (ie. willingly purchased republicans not supporting border wall etc.).
This corrupt economic manipulation/exploitation applies over multiple sectors, and even in the sub-sector of an industry like steel. China/India purchases the raw material, coking coal, then sells the finished good (rolled steel) back to the global market at a discount. Or it could be rubber, or concrete, or plastic, or frozen chicken parts etc.
The ‘America First’ Trump-Trade Doctrine upset the entire construct of this multinational export/control dynamic. Team Trump focused exclusively on bilateral trade deals, with specific trade agreements targeted toward individual nations (not national corporations).
‘America-First’ is also specific policy at a granular product level looking out for the national interests of the United States, U.S. workers, U.S. companies and U.S. consumers.
Under President Trump’s Trade positions, balanced and fair trade with strong regulatory control over national assets, exfiltration of U.S. national wealth is essentially stopped.
This puts many current multinational corporations, globalists who previously took a stake-hold in the U.S. economy with intention to export the wealth, in a position of holding contracted interest of an asset they can no longer exploit.
Perhaps now we understand better how massive multi-billion multinational corporations, and the political institutions they pay for, were/are aligned against President Trump; and they will never relent in their need to see the risk he/we represents destroyed.
I will never relent in my support for anyone who fights this enemy.
I will align with and encourage anyone who joins this fight.
If you are looking for criticism against the only person I have ever witnessed who actually fought our enemy, look elsewhere.
I am thankful for President Trump.
CTH will never stop the fight….

Comment deleted by Admin…
You’re rude.
Incredibly rude especially considering who you were replying to. She’s got the power. LOL.
I think both of you are right. President Trump made mistakes. I heard him say it. However, he did his best. Was it perfect? No/ Could he have been more perfect? Probably not. He was against a giant and sometimes the stones missed but like David of the Bible he didn’t give up. I have nothing to say bad about the efforts of President Trump. No, I have no inside information that proved to me he was doing his best. I just knew it. No one could or probably will do more given his lack of help. God blessed President Trump and will do so again and again.
Also, they have a heart condition – ingratitude – which is seen in comments in your beautiful posts. They don’t live a life close to our Lord.
That is unfair. Trump was not who I voted for in the primary because I associated him with his TV persona, and I was put off by his personal and sometimes juvenile-sounding attacks on the other candidates (I did not consider calling someone low energy was a personal attack) . However, during the campaign what I saw and loved was his love for our county and us citizens, his common sense plans to resolve problems and his courage to say publicly what I had been thinking for a long time about the democrats and the media.
I do find some fault with what appears to be erroneous selections of staff, advisors and his appointments who were not committed to his policies and were essentially fakers and his slowness to identify the fakers and get rid of them swiftly. Maybe someday he will tell us more and name names of who put up arguments and obstacles that he didn’t feel he could ignore or cross. I also DO recognize that, at his election, he didn’t have a pre-selected team ready to go as most seasoned politicians would have had. He was not surrounded by a wide array of both proven-trustworthy and experienced team members and was bound to make some errors.
At the same time, once the courts and state legislatures bailed on the election fraud, I never once expected him to take some unilateral action to overthrow what the establishment chose to do – Although I do wonder, if he had and we were now in an out and out war with the other half of the country, would that have put us in a better position than the current slower but sure destruction we are facing.
I am also not ashamed to say that I don’t think he was perfect. So I am watching what he does and how he handles the swamp members and any agendas they may have that do not fully mesh with his doctrines in the future. I am anxious to see a refortified, better prepared PDJT as time goes on.
None of that changes one bit of how much I recognize, love and revere what he was able to accomplish against insurmountable odds. Nor did I expect him to work a miracle about the election. I would not change nor do I in any way regret my votes for him in the 2016 or 2020 elections.
And one more thing, when people criticize President Trump, I wonder if they also blame the so-called silent majority, themselves and myself included, who for these many decades have been apathetic and allowed our rights to be abridged without dissent, have allowed our state legislatures to do the same thing with states’ rights and who think all they had to do was vote instead of speaking out about all that was great about Trump’s presidency and all that is wrong with Obama, the other democrats and the traitorous republicans. The silent majority has to look at themselves first before blaming Trump for anything.
To be clear, I don’t think he was perfect. He made mistakes. We see a lot of hate and filth in comments from people who are very bitter and blame him for everything that went wrong with the election process. They don’t debate, they don’t use logic, and they want someone to take responsibility for everything, everything that is wrong in government and in the country. And they do not want to be a part of the process.
Exactly. Point of reference would be the post by
“honeybadger” yesterday, subsequently deleted/
audacity, complete disgrace – pure “hate + filth.”
“They want someone to take responsibility” That hits the nail right on the head. Some people need to realize you have to grow up sometime.
I don’t know where you get the patience and grace to deal with the work that you do .
God bless you always.
Agree, Menagerie. they don’t “…want to be a part of the process.” BECAUSE there isn’t an APP for that. Many, many have lost the the ability, know-how to think and research; instead they depend on GOOGLE, or get their answers from FAKEBOOK. It’s a lot easier for them to sit in front of their TV and tune in to so-called real-life programs.
I have yet to meet a perfect mortal on this earth. That is a given. I have no problem with Trump. I happen to like him as a person but more importantly he has substance and I agree with his putting America First. I am grateful he ran and won TWICE.
Speaking of winning twice, it would be a miracle if this happened but one can hope and pray it does. I am skeptical of this. We will see.
Mike Lindell promises election fraud ‘evidence’ and Trump return to White House by August
by Daniel Chaitin
April 01, 2021 09:00 PM
…
The controversial mustachioed businessman, whose election film in February was criticized as being rife with falsehoods, claims he has collected new “evidence” of fraud that will show the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and handed to President Joe Biden.
“All the evidence I have — everything is going to go before the Supreme Court, and the election of 2020 is going bye-bye,” Lindell said on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast. “Donald Trump will be back in office in August,” he also said.
Dozens of election fraud lawsuits across the country have been dismissed by the courts. The Supreme Court rejected the last of Trump’s election challenges earlier this month.
…
Lindell told Newsweek that he hired two firms, which were not named, that found “all-new material” that he claimed “are going to show every state what happened — not just the swing states.” Those findings will include “all the cyber footprints with IP addresses, IDs of computers” and will appear on his website, Mike Lindell TV, the businessman said.

Trump is gone. He is never coming back. EVERYTHING from here on out is up to God and we, the people.
The time for whining and finger-pointing, analyzing, and predictions is over. We either summon the courage to do THE BIG UGLY or DIE.
Most adults seem to have great difficulty recognizing when something has permanently changed. Get your vision corrected.
LookUp: The Big Ugly requires millions upon millions of Little Uglies.
I would say that it is time for the silent majority to be vocal and start taking action against the Democrats or the US will go the way of Nazi Germany. Germans were sleepwalking until reality hit and then it was too late. We cannot be like that.
When you write,
‘ So I am watching what he does and how he handles the swamp members and any agendas they may have that do not fully mesh with his doctrines in the future. I am anxious to see a refortified, better prepared PDJT as time goes on.’ –
I feel that you sound like a consumer in the market place of politics.
What I think is needed is for people to be participants.
I am so grateful that sundance has put into words exactly how I feel on this matter –
I know that I will read and re read this article many times in the months to come because it is all true.
p.s. Hubby to be and I went to see ‘Network’ on our first date!!
That stems from the fact that I despise the republican party. I am in the camp that thinks it can’t be reformed and if it can be reformed, there is not enough time before the Republic is completely destroyed. I thought a new party was and is needed. So I am watching to see what PDJT’s plans are before I jump in to support or vote for any republican except him.
maggie…you are correct. Wonder what tktk participates in other than being a keyboard warrior. Whoopee!
“…rage that someone didn’t fix their problems so that they could go back to their beer and reality television.”
Unfortunately, that is my fear expressed in my comment below.
Bannon has called it whining and thumbsucking.
He has a point.
Beautiful, Sundance.
God Bless President Trump.
Retired Magistrate here: President Trump is certainly the greatest President in my 73 years. It is truly amazing all the things that he accomplished with all the evil that was arrayed against him. He is a street fighter and fearless. He has not given up. I don’t know whether or not he will run for President again; however, as he as said he will be back in some form and from the interview I watched with Laura, his daughter in law, he already is back and fighting for this country. It is hard for me to fathom how frustrated he must feel watching all his American first policies being dismantled at warp speed. But look at him, he looks great, sounds confident and is ready to go forward in an attempt to save America.
Rather than complaining, get involved in your local community. Talk to your county commissioners, township trustees or whatever form of local government you have in protecting the freedoms that your local community enjoys.
As I stated before, I think the future will depend on which community you live in and what positive contributions you can make in that community. Quit shopping at Wal Mart and the big box stores. Support local “Mom and Pop” businesses, get out of debt, send your children/grandchildren to trade schools, get to know your neighbors so you can help each other out and pray for the continuation of this country as founded.
Very wise advice. Hope many here follow it.
Unfortunately, here where I live in NC it’s the Mom and Pop stores that won’t let you in without a mask. I have always been a supporter of local businesses, but when they scream at me the moment I walk through the door because I am not wearing a mask, then they will never see me spend any money there ever again. Get woke Go broke.
I agree the POTUS Trump was the greatest President in my life time…
It may be because they are afraid of losing what they have built. Although some of them may simply be virtue signalers themselves.
Excellent breakdown! Frustrating to read the criticisms of his presidency from many people; as if his enemies are few and weak. The corruption is vast and as you put it, “trillions at stake”. Thanks for a great reminder to those that think it is so easy to go up against the forces of evil.
I ask those who criticize a simple question, “what did you do?”
People who criticize Trump with their “Shoulda-Coulda” are just as dumb and stupid as any Libtard. Even worse because they think they are better than Libtards. They remind me of those who sin all week, go to Church on Sunday and call themselves “Christians”.
Are you serious? You actually think this?
Perhaps you could elaborate on your position. Perhaps the differences are not as great as you think. Please feel free to expound on your ideas.
Especially when they talk about his “ brashness” ….
They are not watching what the left is wreaking on this country. Talking about brashness when you will not teach American kids but you will illegals.
I loved his brashness…his personality was a winner with me.
His brashness was simple clarity. The truth.
Many are not ready, will never be ready to hear the truth.
I agree. Even one or two of my MAGA friends (rare and precious here in blueMA) still can’t help complaining about his manner. They support him fully otherwise, so I don’t try to talk too much about that aspect with them.
I have always gotten the biggest kick out of his personality. I think he’s what my mom used to call a “hot ticket.” He makes me laugh and he makes me happy every single time I hear him talk. He’s just so real.
I disagree. The biggest economic lie perpetrated on those under 60, is the conflation of capitalism and fascism. It is literally impossible to discuss economics when the other person insists that capitalism is antithetical to free enterprise (although not in so many words, usually.) The destruction of the definition of words – making language completely mutable, instead of stable – has destroyed our ability to communicate. Without communication, everything else becomes impossible – and the economic terrorists are free to operate with impunity.
.
I was saying this over twenty years ago when ‘marriage equality’ became some people’s ‘pursuit of happiness’.
I really wonder why they are not happy, now . . .
You are 100% correct. Sultan Knish predicted this 7 years ago as well as the increase in written laws to do whatever you wish and destroy whoever you want. As a lover of language, I correct people who misuse words constantly. We don’t socially distance, we physically distance. We don’t cancel people, we ostracize them. 95% of people do not know what fascism, bigotry, or racism actually means. I yank out a 50 year old dictionary to prove it.
I think I agree, TreeClimber. I’ve felt for some time that “Capitalism” was created by Marxists as the existential threat against all of humanity, where rich people worship money and control and oppress everyone else, a narrative useful to the Marxists in overthrowing all free nations. AND WE LET THEM DEFINE OUR TERMS! Our Founding Fathers never mentioned “capitalism,” but wrote a lot about liberty and the elements of free enterprise, free markets, where the role of the government was limited, but nonetheless crucial – to provide peaceful settings where markets could function, communications could continually improve, enforce contracts, lock up the thieves and the fraudsters, avoid establishing monopolies, as the monarchy had done, and break them up when they form via too successful enterprise.
But I want to go back to Paddy Chayefsky’s speech in the linked video. 45 years ago, the notion of the globalist corporation owning and controlling everything, while taking care of everyone’s needs, was laid out, as clearly as the Great Reset has just done, in some of the same terms. There is no obvious connection in my mind between the CCP ideology and the WEF Global Reset – the CCP appears to have seduced all the multinational corporations into acquiescence with it, in exchange for access to its huge and growing markets. Seduced also the Deep State, US Academia, and the Uni-Party, too. Yet the goal Chayefsky’s character was articulating was the same goal that is driving down the USA today.
It makes me wonder if Marxism has always been in hidden alliance with huge global financial institutions to create crises to topple nations, make them subservient to an all-controlling ideologically driven elite?
Yes that can be documented. Reece committee 1954 on Carnegie, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations detailed and consistent and in some cases admitted support of changing America to a Communist system.
Or Whitaker Chambers from his great autobiographical book “Witness” 1952,
[ By the way Sundance : the quote below, i believe, is the inspiration for the concise MAMET PRINCIPLE as, IIRC, David Mamet said this book was one he read that aided his rejection of the Left ],
Chapter 11 – The Hiss Case, section XXI :
“After that confrontation [with Alger Hiss], I returned to my office at Time …… Everyone was kind. No one pressed me. One day Henry Luce called me up and asked me to come for supper.”
“There were three of us. The second guest was ….. European whom i shall call Smetana. …… I was a rather silent guest. I was too fresh from the shadows; ……… ”
“No one mentioned Communism or the Hiss Case until we had our coffee in the living room. Mrs. Philip Jessup had just ……. to try to get me off Time. Luce was baffled by the implacable clamor of the most enlightened people against me. ‘By any Marxian pattern of how classes behave,’ he said, ‘the upper class should be for you and the lower classes should be against you. But it is the upper class that is most violent against you. How do you explain that?’ ”
” ‘You do no understand the class structure of American society,’ said Smetana, ‘or you would not ask such a question. In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.’ ”
“Luce was puzzled, too, by a question many people were asking: If Hiss was a Communist, how could he, constantly meeting and dealing with intelligent people, have managed not to betray his real views from day to day? I was too tired to explain how, in ………….. ”
“Smetana saved me from saying anything. “The Communist Conspiracy,’ he said, ‘is unlike any ever known before. In the past, conspiracy has always meant secrecy, concealment. The peculiarity of Communism is that everybody really knows who these people are, and what the conspiracy is, and how it works. But everybody connives at it because nobody wants to believe his own eyes. It is something new under the sun. It is a conspiracy in the open.’ “
For context of above post :
1 [Follow the money ….. so true. Foundations have been revealed in public investegations several times in past 100 years for organizing and funding ‘structures’ that are effectively changing american government and society using means contrary to the US constitution. Both parties and the media ensured that the public heard nothing reported to get excited about. The one in 1978 resulted in legistlation requiring reporting and oversight if any fundee got more than a certain percent of funding from one foundation. But that was easily overcome as the foundations have common directors and close cooperation in directing funds. The Republican led Reese commission 1954 is most interesting and revealing. It followed directly on the heels of the 1952 Cox commission of the same objective. But mysteriously most of the Democrat led Cox commission research had disappeared in the months between the two commissions.
The foundations were set up in past for same reasons as in our time (except i think Pay for Play is a newish innovation of the Clintons) :
The foundations held control of corporations and assets sheilding them from taxation and anti-trust seisure or break-up.
The foundations (with the aid of PR, ie, propaganda, experts like Edward Bernays and Ivy Ledbetter Lee) reversed the public image of the founder from a grasping monopolist (often mass murderer of striking employees, ie Carnegie and Rockefeller), to a benign Do-Gooder and public Benefactor. Today the Clintons and Bill Gates (of the pink sweaters).
The foundations were used to give continuity of there aims from generation to generation. The CFR, Brookings, Atlantic council all from foundations. Of course Investment bankers and hedge fund operators are hand in hand. They truly operate and man government bureaucracies – State, Education, DoD, homeland etc.
2] Alger Hiss: John Hopkins; Harvard Law; First job under Supreme court Justice Oliver Wendal Holmes; Private practice NY & DC; Asst Secretary of State; set up Yalta conference; set up United Nations. When Elizabeth Bentley (former Soviet agent) named several senior officials as being part of her spy ring and named Hiss as a Communist, Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles installed Alger Hiss as President of the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace Foundation (a position Dulles held previously). The Verona decrypts confirmed Hiss and many others as Soviet Agents but they could not be used or revealed until Solviet collapse decades later. Whittaker Chambers had gone to FIB years earlier naming Hiss as part of his spy ring, but now with Hiss named publicly came forth to publicly testify to Hiss being a communist.
Whitaker Chambers was Senior Editor of time magazine and a farmer. Prior to that he was living under a false Identity (Carl) as an underground member of the American Communist Party and also a spy under the Soviet apparatus who operated one of many rings of spys in the US Gov’t.
After 9 years Chambers notified Soviets he was flipping and that he retained many incriminating documents in a manner that they would be released if any harm came to himself or family. A Dumbwaiter full of documents were hidden behind a wall in a relatives home and he had microfilms hidden inside of punkins on his farm. Another former communist (there were so many in those rarified circles) working at Time Magazine got Chambers a job writing Obituaries of famous people (before they died). They were so impressive that Time owner, Henry Luce, promoted him to Senior Editor.
Hiss had been his close friend and he wanted Hiss to just concede to having been a communist to avoid revealing all the spying for Soviets. But Hiss arrogantly denied knowing Chambers examining him as one would a horse (open your mouth …. wider please!).
Hiss was ultimately caught out by his testimony of sighting a rare bird in DC; a persian carpet Chambers had given him; A car that Hiss had given Chambers (Chambers had lived with Hiss family for several months at one point); and a discarded typewriter (he should have used a Hillary Hammer or bleachbit). Hiss also he kept goading Chambers in the Press to make his claims outside of the Congress so he could be sued for defamation. Eventually Chambers did so and Hiss had to sue.
The FBI and DOJ, to protect Hiss, called a grand Jury and had sealed indictment against Chambers for perjury and other nasty things. Richard Nixon found out about indictments and went to Chambers farm imploring him to release any documents in his possesion before the FBI arrests him and get the documents for coverup. Chambers got microfilm from pumpkins. And documents out of wall. Hiss lost his suit against Chambers. Hiss indicted for Purgery, lying that he was not a communist agent. Prison for ten years or so. Hiss was Hero according to Media. Chambers was an ugly liar and admitted Communist to Media. (See America has been living with this corrupt communist stuff for ages)
William F. Buckley Jr. kept pressing Chambers to contribute to his National Review Magazine. Chambers kept refusing indicating that his views did not align with magazine. Buckley claimed to not understand how that could be the case. (IMHO, buckley and NR had been protecting the Elite Establishment. In particular the Rockefeller Republicans, CIA, and Wall Street Bankers. While Vilifying populists, the Libertarians, Randians, Birchers, etc. Briefly Chambers did make contributions, including a devastating review of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged (Off to the gas Chambers!). Chambers quit saying Buckley does not understand and that he (Chambers) had joined the losing side when he broke with the Communists.
JoeBama says that by raising taxes on corporations in America it will help beat China’s corporate taxes and help Americans.
I agree, it will help “Their” America just not “Ours”!
They’re gonna need a taller fence, because when people lose everything and have nothing more to lose, they lose it!!!
Big numbers are difficult to put into a comprehensible form that lets us grasp the context of what they mean .
This is an excellent site that gives you the visual reality of the money and debt floating around the planet . Think the Federal Deposit Insurance for your bank account is liquid ?

It can’t be paid. Ever. Work from that point.
This post should be mandatory reading for all high school and college students.
NO READ – NO GRADUATE!
I absolutely understand this dirty financial usurping!! Its like the pharmaceutical Companies!! We are charged and medicaid and Medicare robbed while other nations are paying less. These crooks are getting wealthy off of pushed policies that seem to make no sense to the average person. Thank you for putting it out there!! America First should be our Policy!! The slime will never give it up…they rather lose a Country! Losers
Their master is money. They will pay the highest fine. It has been promised.
The price of sugar has been so grossly overpriced and manipulated that American food manufacturers had to resort to corn fructose for sweeteners.
Well, let it be known that I will be forever grateful for the sacrifices POTUS Trump (and his family) have made for America. He has truly opened my eyes to the shame that has befallen so many that we have entrusted with the duty to serve as public servants. Throughout the agencies of government have so many acted so criminally, spiteful and self-serving and so many of those have been the highest educated and privileged within our ranks. Their privilege has been misused and abused. After our POTUS, I thank our beloved Sundance and his ‘staff’ for all they too have done for us. You also have been beacons in this gathering storm. May we have God’s will on our side at all times. We must prevail
President Trump opened my eyes too. When on June 16, 2015 he said China was robbing US and Mexico was not sending their best people, and then kept his promises I will be loyal to my leader forever. America First works, while Biden&HO America Last tax plan helps the exfiltration of American jobs to our mortal enemy China, the same enemies that spliced the Chinavirus together at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with grants of $7,000,000 from our own NIH. May God keep President Trump safe and wealthy to fight our Gobalist enemies. You can make a difference by donating some of the unexpected wealth you acquired by Trump´s good governance directly to Donaldjtrump.com. I will always support Trump wholeheartedly.
We need more than 3% to understand…
So well said…. I could not improve upon that.
Thank You Sundance.
Well written
Every American who wants to understand why we have lost America needs to read this, absorb this, and share this.
I’d suggest you make it the leading entry here at CTH for several days so everyone sees it, because so many don’t really get it.
I am eternally grateful, as Sundance expresses, to Donald Trump for his patriotic courage.
We can only guess at his sacrifice.
Many times I have questioned his brash behavior and attack dog language.
But I realize that he not only needed to confront our enemies, internal and external. He needed our enemies to expose themselves to the American people, to wake us up and stir us to action before it was too late.
Time will tell, but the success or failure now lies with US. Time to quit waiting for some magical being to save us.
Donald Trump illuminated the enemy.
Sundance explained in unequivocal terms what America is up against.
We can live our best lives, but we also need to fight back on every front and in any way we can. Point out the hypocrisy of their behavior, the danger of their policies, the inhumane consequences of their behavior.
Every day. Every opportunity.
They (Biden administration) are floating the idea of resuming talks toward getting us into the TPP treaty.
We need to boycott all Chinese products regardless of what trade treaties are in effect, and to support American manufacturing even if it costs us more.
I have stopped buying the loss-leader cheap tools in the bin outside the hardware store made in…China. I try to buy “real” tools that are not made in China, when I can.
Same should apply to Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc.
I go out of my way, and pay more, to avoid products made in China. And I’m loud about it, “can’t by this one, it’s made in China”! I make sure people hear me and I make eye contact when I proudly present the product I am about to buy “look, made in the USA”! I also like to point out China-made products, like commenting on someone’s shoes (Nike’s for example) “cute shoes, but I can’t buy them because their made in China”. So many people have no idea, I get alot of “really? I didn’t know that”. Maybe look at the label!
I bought a wallet today…..made in the USA. The last one from this company lasted 25 years. I consider the extra cost worth it. I will never need another and my granddaughter will inherit it! Buy American.
Don’t forget to add the word “Communist” to the word “China.” It packs a serious punch.
I was doing the same thing in a local hardware store (one of the few left in my area) while looking for a new hose. The young man who worked there heard me say I wouldn’t buy something because it was manufactured by Communist China. He broke into a huge smile and said, “I really like that!”
There are definitely quite a few young redpilled people even here in MA.
I also had an old appliance quit this week and had to find a replacement (not a ChiCom product). I bought at a local established appliance store instead of a big box. There was a temporary problem with parts that turned out to be easily solved, simply because the small local business still prides itself on service. They were extremely helpful.
I am doing this sort of thing every day now, with every thing I buy, whenever possible.
And everyone I meet and talk to about it agrees with it too – even here. I think COVID-1984 opened a lot of eyes on the dangers of being dependent on the CCP.
It doesn’t really matter at this point, if we agree to this TTP. Our Constitution is null, we are being invaded, and there is zero rule of law. Unless this election is restored to the true winner, I don’t see hope for any future.
I have always been of the mind of “let Trump be Trump” even the few times I strongly disagreed with a particular policy he either wanted or got implemented.
Thank you once again, Sundance, for brilliantly pointing out what many of us may have forgotten which is the true size, scope and strength of the Enemy.
Many of us, myself included, have been guilty of second guessing, criticizing or failing to acknowledge just how bad things really are in our once great Republic. Although I am a political junkie from way back and spend way too much time reading everything I can, even I have been shocked at the depth of depravity of the ruling Junta who have seized power in the US Government, whatever that is today.
It is hard to acknowledge so much evil that seems to emanate from Lucifer himself and I think that many of us are still in shock that things have turned out this way. It just didn’t seem possible that we could wake up one day to find that the election had been stolen from our President and that we the people had no recourse. Not from the congress, not from the courts not from any individuals or agencies. We are now on our own with President Trump leading the true government in exile.
As we enter into the holy days of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, I pray that the good Lord will bless our benighted country with the grace of his Resurrection and light. Let us never forget that God is good. He has taken us this far and will never abandon us.
Thank you, Sundance! I’m sure that those who criticize VSGPDJT haven’t achieved much of anything. Now if we can get some ideas how to fight the international swamp without revealing them to the enemy…
When reading this an old saying pops into my head. “When you point a finger at someone ,you got three pointing back at you”
Thanks Sundance – this really needed to be said. I actually read a post here yesterday where someone said they wouldn’t vote for PDJT because he didn’t meet their standards.
No man is perfect, but PDJT has done better against the worst opposition in my lifetime, and I’m in my my upper 60’s.
Just my opinion, but I think these virtue-signalling posters that say they will never vote Republican are trolls. Even Romney voted the right way more than the “best” democrat. We need to vote for the best choice in every case – the dems are delighted with the “pure” conservatives that let the dems win a race.
<I actually read a post here yesterday where someone said they wouldn’t vote for PDJT because he didn’t meet their standards.>
You don’t have to like Donald Trump to vote for him…
You just have to love America.
Well said in few words! You truly are a wordman 🙂
Exactly, just look at how many suburban women detested Trump because of his tweeting and voted for China Joe, and now they will feel the pain of thousands of Illegals descending on their towns.
Oh, no. Those dummies in the suburbs will get on the Next Door neighborhood app and organize “welcoming events” for the illegals in their midst.
Or they will just ignore the situation all together because they were taught to be woke at old state U.
“ I will never relent in my support for anyone who fights this enemy.
I will align and encourage anyone who joins this fight.
If you are looking for criticism against the only person I have ever witnessed to actually fought our enemy, look elsewhere.
I am thankful for President Trump.”
??????❤️
Thank you Sundance!
“… legislation that politicians sell to Americans….”
It’s more like they shove it up our butts.
Amen Sundance. Amen. I don’t think there are only 3% of us -maybe at the intellectual level of understanding exactly how and who pulls the levers. At the visceral, human, physical level, most Americans know they’ve been pillaged and raped. We knew Trump was our hope to reverse the damage. Our incredulity at the election being stolen in broad daylight, followed by deep despair, followed by seething rage, is well justified. People know. They may not be able to articulate it as you have done, but the majority gets it.
So what now? The knowledge of what’s going on is part of the reason people are migrating out of the big cities, snatching up land, any land, sight unseen. It’s one of the reasons “homesteading” and “survivalism” are incredibly popular topics. It’s why weapons and ammo are sold out all over the country. People get it. We’re preparing to hunker down for the long haul, grow our own food, be more self-sufficient and less reliant on “Brazilian lemons”, the job markets as they’re manipulated, the banking system, the supply chains, etc. Back to Basics.
Our ancestors fled oppression and came to America to stake a claim. To be free. To prosper. That freedom blood runs deep in our souls. The globalists will end up dying with us in this fight. We’re not going to lay down and take it. We’ll fight to the bitter end.
My prayer has been firstly, Lord spare us this cup. Secondly, Lord give me the strength to take as many of the evil doers with me as I can, as I die.
The globalists’ biggest mistake is misunderstanding the American spirit. We don’t “sell out”. We are loyal, faithful, generous to a fault, moral, tough, and determined. On top of that, we’re ***very angry***.
Thank you Donald J Trump for ripping the bandaid off. Thank you for fighting for us!! May the Lord bless you and keep you and yours.
May the Lord bless and keep the American Patriots strong and steadfast throughout this fight laid before us. Strengthen us as you did King David in his many battles. Bring us the Victory over the evil in our land. Let our battle be devastating to the Enemy. I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
May God bless America.
Amen.
Thank you, Madame. Excellent post.
Finally, Finally, This is long delayed in coming but I am very, very pleased to finally see this so excellently presented! I have continued to reading to see if this site finally comes around to state what is reality. President Trump, the real President of the United States is one of the countries greatest heroes, ever. He will be forever in my prayers. What he and his family went through can never be repaid. I hope and pray he will stay in the fight and rise again to lead this nation out of the darkness we are in.
One additional point: Due to conditioning taking place in our public school systems, many young adults today *do* understand that globalist policies are exfiltrating the wealth of our nation – and they support this policy whole-heartedly.
This is 20-35 year old white-collar workers; They are typically college educated, and often married – but committed to have no children. They purchase hybrids (or Tesla’s) & support wind power, but have no interest in discussing the environmental carnage caused to small communities in China where required rare-earth metals are refined. Or the pollution caused from shipping heavy raw ore across the ocean, just to be refined “more economically” in China.
This group of people is appalled at the treatment of muslims in China, but they have no problem with persecution of Christians in the same country. They also inexplicably support Biden’s China-first policy.
I work with these cohorts every day. They are very excited at the prospect of colonizing mars – or the galaxy – but they have a substantial mental defect when critically discussing the required skills/research/population expansion necessary to support this type of endeavor. Ironically, this group is so crippled with guilt, they support their own extinction. Even “minorities” in this group show signs of guilt over their success & benefits of their own hard work.
There are, of course, exceptions; anyone who was home schooled, attended private school, or even some exceptionally rational public school attendees have resisted the indoctrination.
Yes. So sad to see young people so ham strung.
How are they going to colonize Mars? They can’t even figure out which gender they are.
And then Eastwood sold out and supported Bloomberg.
I forgive him because he is 90 and at the very least he tried.
That was indeed very foolish and disappointing of Clint.
I wonder how he feels since the coup. He can’t imagine it was okay.
The private schools in the blue cities have been contaminated too.
This is spot on.
These white collar morons should be forcefully marched to see the damage done to Portsmouth, Ohio, and if they still don’t care, throw them in the Ohio River.
To wit: do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
PDJT did more in less time against odds and forces that were almost inhuman.
But now, others must pick up the baton and keep it going. It was always folly to place hope in one man. To defeat the demonic left, it will take organization and multiple leaders.
Trump showed us the way, now we must carry on what he started.
I’ve been sitting here on my branch for years, and this is the most exceptional post I’ve read here.
Thank you for this clear, compelling, masterful post.
Even this old Grammy understands everything you wrote. It’s brilliantly simple.
I love and support our President Trump. NOTHING will change that. Ever.
I pray for him and his family daily.
Thank you so much.
This Grammy agrees.
All energy must go to exposing and proving that this election was stolen from President Trump.
Everything else (including the 2022 & 2024 elections) is irrelevant right now.
If they get away with this stolen election, we have lost. Sundance might as well just close up shop.
I cried when I read your comment below. Just yesterday (and several times since December) I have posted that I will never criticize President Trump. Never.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Sundance, for stating the same. My President deserves better than criticism from peons. As I stated yesterday (and before), I thank God he escaped the Oval with his life, and Melania’s, and the entire family. I (We) owe him/them everything.
Recently there have been many critics of President Trump; many people proclaiming that President Trump did not do enough to block, impede, stop and counteract the globalist forces that are aligned against his effort to Make America Great Again. There are people who proclaim that Donald J Trump should have been more wise in his counsel; more selective in his cabinet. Let me be clear….
I will never join that crew of Trump critics because I understand his adversary. I understand the scope of the enemy, the scale of the war, the financial and economic power of the opposition, and the effort it will take to stop decades of willful blindness amid 97% of the American people. I also see exactly what they are doing now, even with President Trump forcefully removed from office, to destroy the threat he still represents.
To think that President Trump alone could carry the burden of correcting four decades of severe corruption of all things political, without simultaneously considering the scale of the opposition, is naive in the extreme.
Divine intervention kept he and his family alive.
Yes. By the grace of God.
“I will never join that crew of Trump critics…”
Thank you so much, Sundance.
I find it infuriating…..and unappreciative that any on our side would do so ….expect it from the other side.
We need a seminal moment, a public one, one that SHAMES our enemies. Our enemies are all around us. There are people like Andrew Weisman who skirt the law and destroy lives, yet who thrive. If we could destroy one like him, it signals to the others.
Right now, my sights are on Coke and Delta Airlines for caving to the left but as usual, it’s hard even with a phone call to corporate to find a menu that will deal with my complaint.
The point is, we need planners who will PICK A COUPLE OF OUR ENEMIES WHO NEED TO SUFFER for what they’ve done and are doing to us, to our country.
You have to fight fire WITH a CONFLAGRATION. I feel lost as there is no organization to help with a mass protest.
I feel the same way. I wonder if its possible to ask someone like Candace Owen to bring this into public focus. Just thinking out loud.
With respect, we don’t need to “organize”. Rather, we need to live our convictions. If we ALL do our part, every day, in every way possible, it will have a massive effect. We are the sand in the gears. We won’t comply. We won’t cooperate. We’ll spend our money where it can’t be manipulated. We can be like the ocean – relentless and powerful in our determination.
Consider this…the World economy did not tank or disintegrate this past year because there was the system that Sundance has brilliantly outlined.
In light of all this, it’s amazing what Trump accomplished with all of the jackals and hyenas nipping at his heels.
Best President EVER!
I have often wondered if hollywood is just another arm of a 3letter gov. agency and actually make movies of what those agencies are gonna bring forth. A kinda foretelling or well sure I saw that in last years movie so it’s not a big shock to people when it actually happens. 1 example would be the movie Pandemic. Another would be the Bourne trilogy, it’s just that in the trilogy the good guy wins but the the movie shows the machinations of a rogue 3 letter agency so people are used to a rogue 3 letter agency cause the good guy wins.
But back to SD and Multi national corps.. IF and that’s a big IF the Multi nationals finally win there is always infighting at the top. One world rule equals communisum and you can look to Stalin or Hitler or Xi or his puppet in NK, they kill everything that gets close to them. In America people like the turtle will be arkincided if he steps out of line or pisses off the one he reports to. That’s just the way it is with power hungry people.
The best news is President Trump is not done fighting for the good ol USA. I pray that he has some power out there in our military and will call in a chip when he feels the time is now. He knows that he has 100 million ( by now ) Patriots behind him and the time is drawing near. A couple of courts and State Legislatures are still trying to prove election fraud, so maybe he is waiting for all efforts to done with. But the real threat is world powers expanding at the expense of countries on their borders with little to no military for protection. The threat to the US is if biden decides to send our troops to get involved.
At the Myanmar military parade representatives from Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand attended. None of the western military industrial countries attended. So the 3 letter agency elected gov. of Myanmar is rightfully being held accountable by Myanmar’s military according to their constitution. The 3 letter agencies running our gov. now, also got their teeth kicked in, in Alaska.
Praying for God’s intervention and President Trump return to his rightful place as our president.
Thank You Sundance!
President Trump fought alone in the vile Swamp. Nunes and Jordan were the only true Conservatives who helped President Trump, and a handful of MAGA lite helped a little bit. The rest of the RINOs conspired with the DemoCommieFascists.
Agree, 1000 percent. It was the leadership that didn’t cooperate with them and let their efforts make a
difference. President Trump saw that too! He awarded both of them, the Medal of Freedom. They are the only two I totally trust. Newer elected Trumpers have to still prove themselves to me and some of the newer ones in office look promising such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA). Time will tell.
I can think of another movie with Ned Beatty (one scene in particular) that also shows us a good example of what is happening to the American people today…….does anyone hear banjos?
Thank you Sundance. Again.
I’m still crying….my sentiment too. I will stand with President Trump ’til my dying breath.
I will never relent in my support for anyone who fights this enemy.
I will align with and encourage anyone who joins this fight.
If you are looking for criticism against the only person I have ever witnessed who actually fought our enemy, look elsewhere.
I am thankful for President Trump.
CTH will never stop the fight….
Thanks for the big picture overview again.
Real US middle and working class wages continue declining as part of all this. Chinese and other undercut-cost products continue to push US and other “fair trade” products out of the market. The combination is self-reinforcing – if a US-made product can even be found, the US consumer cannot afford it and buys the Chinese product they can afford. A brilliant plan ruthlessly executed by the Chinese playing the globalist profiteers.
So where does it lead?
If I can’t afford the US-made one, I look at ones made elsewhere but not under ChiCom control – and if that doesn’t work, I look at whether I really can’t live without the ChiCom one.
Since I’ve started this effort in earnest, there have been practically no instances of actually needing the ChiCom product. I suppose my thyroid medicine may be an exception…
Just look at all the businesses attacking the State of Georgia for passing new voting laws. The D RATS called those companies and TOLD them to do that or else face the power of the corrupt Government. It will never be Trump who will fix this, but WE THE PEOPLE who will have to do it. Just look at California, if it wasn’t for the PEOPLE, Newsom would have never been recalled. Trump is like a great coach who shows his players how to win, but at the end of the day, it has to be the players who win the game. And My gut tells me that we are going to win this game.
In CCP chyna a member of the party is on every company board of directors. Everything is funded by CCP banks, so the political ideology controls / approves / gatekeeps / curates all funding decisions. Any ideological error swiftly and directly endangers the company funding AND most times the secret police “disappear” / “cancel” a director or a chairman (even if they are billionaire). In summary, CCP currency strongly resembles military or prison “script”. [ I am reminded by my wife of the movie “King Rat.” ]
And I remember in days gone by a bigtime monopolistic company would employ you, house you and feed you via the company owned shops in the company town. The company paid you and you paid them rent etc. Thats the CCP model.
Control. Is this the future of the world under this fascist globalism? As Ned Beatty character says – the bankers control the world and they are down at the sub-atomic level of everything. We live and die under their control? I thought government control was in that place, at the sub-atomic level, but it turns out bankers own The Government Of The People and By The People and For The People???????
What did we see exactly about year ago? We had to deal with supply chain issues with the chyna virus – pills and gloves and gowns were all controlled by chyna.
We have paid “A lot” (President Trump voice) for the globalist matrix.
One of the tunes I sing in my group is 16 Tons.
That line I owe my soul to the company store resonates yet again…
Thank you for your positive thoughts…BRAVO
I have been holding off on this essay, as I have been thinking about its topic carefully, and do not want to fall into certain traps.
Recently, I have been reading the writings of the late Roman theologian Salvian, who composed a series of sermons against the Romans c. 440 A.D. Salvian lived in the area of modern-day eastern France and western Germany, roughly from modern day Trier in Germany to Bordeaux in France.
On the Government God might be seen as a companion to Saint Augustine’s The City-State of God. It is however quite different, as it is meant as a final chance “wake-up call” to the Romans remaining, all of whom were Christians – as were by this time the Germanic barbarians, most of whom had converted to Arian Christianity – but who might also be called CHRINOS, Christians in name only.
Like an Old Testament prophet, Salvian is convinced that the disasters of his day, which included the famous sack of Rome in 410 A.D. and the subsequent loss of Britain, the Germanic provinces of the Rhine-Danube frontier, France, Spain, and northern Africa, were a punishment from God for the local population’s loss of morality.
My task is not to debate the possibility of Divine Interference in Human History. If we do not necessarily believe that God punishes people through His direct intervention, we can believe that a population’s combined immorality, sloth, and stupidity will prevent them from seeing the ruin around them and the ruin sure to come. Thus God may work indirectly in History: Sin is its own punishment.
Salvian tells of some truly appalling events: Roman cities much more concerned about where their next set of wild animals to be slaughtered e.g. in the Trier arena, will be coming from, rather than the Germanic barbarians literally hours away from destroying them.
From Book VI:
“…there is almost no crime or vice that does not accompany the games. In these the greatest pleasure is to have men die…torn to death…eaten by wild beasts, for the entertainment of the crowds in the stands….(Their main worry) is to ransack the whole world in search of wild animals…every valley is searched, the cloud-bearing Alps themselves are climbed…so that human flesh may be devoured (for entertainment)….”
Keep in mind that these crowds are now supposedly Christians.
In Book VII Salvian assails homosexuality and transvestism for sapping Roman courage, using New Carthage in North Africa as an example:
“…In a Christian city once bathed in the blood of martyrs, men acted like women, in public with no shame…The entire city saw this and allowed it, the judges condoned this vice, the people saw and applauded it, and soon (homosexuality) was (accepted)…
“…Men took on the clothing of women and made their steps more mincing than women themselves…
“…So completely was nature reversed in these men..that to certain of these homosexuals nothing was more disgraceful than to seem in any respect masculine...”
In Book V Salvian mentions the rapaciousness of the failing, falling Roman government, which had been paying massive bribes to the barbarian tribes to keep them away, a policy which was obviously only bringing more ruin upon them:
“…the majority is taxed for the prosperity of the few, who use government taxes for their individual advancement, and convert their own indebtedness to the public treasury for their own profit. It is not only the highest officials who do this, but their underlings as well….
“…even widows and orphans are taxed…no one is safe from this (legal) brigandage…”
What happened is that the Germanic barbarians began to be seen as liberators from the massively oppressive taxation of the Roman government, as if e.g. a pay-off to a drug-lord left you in greater peace and prosperity than your taxes to the government.
We also see the beginnings of Medieval serfdom, where Roman peasants are turning over their property in perpetuity and turning over the future labor of their children and of all future generations to a local Roman lord in exchange for protection:
“…We see men, no longer able to guard the home and condition of their birth (i.e. even ruined upper class people were doing this) subject themselves to the lowly yoke of serfdom.
“They are exiled not only from their property, but from their very selves, losing everything along with their freedom…and forfeit the right to liberty….”
Only complete collapse brings an end to the “entertainment” and an end to the taxation, the latter however being replaced by exactions from local lords.
And so…
I keep reading from our Conservative press that the American people need to wake up, that high gas prices will awaken them, that hyper-inflation, that massive unemployment, etc. etc. etc. will cause a revolt against our Communist-Globalist-Crony-Capitalist leaders, as Mr. Sundance so nicely delineates above.
But I wonder whether too many of our anesthetized and videoized citizens, addicted like the Roman cities in Germany and Gaul and elsewhere, are too focused on our modern version of the gladiatorial games, i.e. cable, the Internet, cell phones, and to actual drugs, and cannot be awakened.
I wonder how a society full of people hungry, addicted to constant diversion and pleasures, full of sexually confused people, of people doubting their own self-worth, of people hating themselves and their entire heritage, an enervated people of no Faith in anything higher than their own beliefs in the present and the shibboleths which temporarily make them feel satisfied (e.g. environmentalism, anti-racism, omni-sexuality, any cause du jour )…
I do wonder how that society will defend itself against its own evils and those attacking it from the outside.
I do not yet believe that a majority of Americans fit into the above description – or prescription – of disaster. I believe, I want to believe, I have no choice but to believe that we still have time to reverse the trends above, trends similar to those described by Salvian in the mid-400’s.
During Salvian’s time, there was a Roman general vigorously attempting to restore something of a decent Roman government and to stop the barbarians: his name was Aetius. A few years after Salvian finished his book, Aetius, after stopping the Huns and planning to bring the Vandals in North Africa under control, was summoned by the emperor to a meeting.
At this meeting the Emperor Valentinian III personally stabbed Aetius in the back and killed him. You see, the incompetent and cowardly man feared that Aetius wanted to become emperor.
A senator who witnessed the assassination supposedly cried out: “Sire, you have just cut off your right hand with your left!”
One of the lessons of History is that, occasionally, Cowardice and Incompetence do triumph in a society.
I have been holding off on this essay, as I have been thinking about its topic carefully, and do not want to fall into certain traps.
Recently, I have been reading the writings of the late Roman theologian Salvian, who composed a series of sermons against the Romans c. 440 A.D. Salvian lived in the area of modern-day eastern France and western Germany, roughly from modern day Trier in Germany to Bordeaux in France.
On the Government God might be seen as a companion to Saint Augustine’s The City-State of God. It is however quite different, as it is meant as a final chance “wake-up call” to the Romans remaining, all of whom were Christians – as were by this time the Germanic barbarians, most of whom had converted to Arian Christianity – but who might also be called CHRINOS, Christians in name only.
Like an Old Testament prophet, Salvian is convinced that the disasters of his day, which included the famous sack of Rome in 410 A.D. and the subsequent loss of Britain, the Germanic provinces of the Rhine-Danube frontier, France, Spain, and northern Africa, were a punishment from God for the local population’s loss of morality.
My task is not to debate the possibility of Divine Interference in Human History. If we do not necessarily believe that God punishes people through His direct intervention, we can believe that a population’s combined immorality, sloth, and stupidity will prevent them from seeing the ruin around them and the ruin sure to come. Thus God may work indirectly in History: Sin is its own punishment.
Salvian tells of some truly appalling events: Roman cities much more concerned about where their next set of wild animals to be slaughtered e.g. in the Trier arena, will be coming from, rather than the Germanic barbarians literally hours away from destroying them.
From Book VI:
“…there is almost no crime or vice that does not accompany the games. In these the greatest pleasure is to have men die…torn to death…eaten by wild beasts, for the entertainment of the crowds in the stands….(Their main worry) is to ransack the whole world in search of wild animals…every valley is searched, the cloud-bearing Alps themselves are climbed…so that human flesh may be devoured (for entertainment)….”
Keep in mind that these crowds are now supposedly Christians.
In Book VII Salvian assails homosexuality and transvestism for sapping Roman courage, using New Carthage in North Africa as an example:
“…In a Christian city once bathed in the blood of martyrs, men acted like women, in public with no shame…The entire city saw this and allowed it, the judges condoned this vice, the people saw and applauded it, and soon (homosexuality) was (accepted)…
“…Men took on the clothing of women and made their steps more mincing than women themselves…
“…So completely was nature reversed in these men..that to certain of these homosexuals nothing was more disgraceful than to seem in any respect masculine...”
In Book V Salvian mentions the rapaciousness of the failing, falling Roman government, which had been paying massive bribes to the barbarian tribes to keep them away, a policy which was obviously only bringing more ruin upon them:
“…the majority is taxed for the prosperity of the few, who use government taxes for their individual advancement, and convert their own indebtedness to the public treasury for their own profit. It is not only the highest officials who do this, but their underlings as well….
“…even widows and orphans are taxed…no one is safe from this (legal) brigandage…”

Twenty years later the Western Roman Empire was gone.
One of the lessons of History is that, occasionally, Cowardice and Incompetence do triumph in a society.
Ausonius, you presented this lesson of History at the perfect moment.
The parallels are stunning and profoundly apropos.
In that light, and in our plight, your conclusion is quite sobering.
Many thanks for your comment!
Salvian’s purpose in that work was to save what was left of the souls of his time: his scolding, lamenting tone is that of a prophet crying in the wilderness. He found the Germanic barbarians to be more virtuous, in fact vastly more virtuous, than the corrupt Romans around him, despite the former’s crudities and heretical versions of Christianity.
Those barbarians were sufficiently virtuous to go on to call themselves the Holy Roman Empire, n’est-ce pas?
Well, that development took more centuries than the original Roman Empire was alive! 😉
Das Heilige Roemische Reich might have its seeds in Charlemagne’s crowning, but blossoms only in the later 900’s under Otto I and his successors.
Later we get the addition – curious in sound to our ears – “The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation,” one of the most patchwork-quilt empires in history!
Thank you
Brilliant essay, right on point for our troubled times. You know better than anyone- if we forget our history we are doomed to repeat it. Thanks for posting. I hope you can share it elsewhere, there are many who need to read this.
I already linked to it in our backroom…..making sure SD and the others admins won’t miss it. Both you and Ausonius are gifts to the Treehouse.
Many thanks for the honor!
I felt my remarks were relevant, but feared that the essay might at first glance seem less than tangential.
Thank you Ad Rem for the kind words and great compliment. It is an honor to be able to comment and be a part of the Tree House Fellowship.
Awesome post. Thank you.
What an interesting post. As a history buff, you might also find the attached article worth reading. I studied The Sixth Wave chart and descriptions of each cycle with great interest.

Greetings!
Yes, I have been following cyclical theories of History! Thanks for the link!
If you click on the link I posted, look on the side menu on the page. You find the “History” category. Expand it and Martin Armstrong has loads of cyclical history data. Enjoy!
Bravo, Ausonius. This is the perfect example of the manner in which the human condition does not change, and history does indeed repeat itself.
Sundance, of all the outstanding analyses and writing you have offered us, this is the crème de la crème. I despise what it means, but I appreciate your brick by brick deconstruction of it for our better understanding.
God bless, and protect, our tireless, valiant warrior, Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America.
To Sundance,
Your post today made me feel…
not alone..
thank you .
Sundance : The Link in the Post for Monsanto went to Bayer.
Thanks for another great post. God Bless you and President Trump.
That link went there to illustrate Sundance’s point on the manner in which the multi-nationals create layers of umbrella corporations to disguise themselves and skirt anti-monopoly laws, Monsanto’s ownership of Bayer is a key example of this tactic and purpose.
Monsanto and Bayer have a history. I suspect Sundance linked correctly.
Thank you for posting this again Sundance.
New arrivals need to see this. It is what we are up against. We cannot let the constant bombardment of the Left silence us. They are small in numbers and they have been exposed. The whole corrupt and rotten ruling class has been exposed.
Then candidate Trump stated on October 13, 2016 what he personally, and the total MAGA movement, was up against. It’s always worth listening to, and for me, it raises the hair on the back of my neck like bagpipes playing martial music. He defines the enemy, and though their champions may not be the Clintons in 2021, the opposing army is the same.
Listen to it again and man up. Our champion has reengaged on the field of battle and they will do everything to silence him and the MAGA movement.

As in past posts,SD EXPLAINS his point of view with such clarity it is hard no to “get it”.. I feel exactly the same way about Trump.. will never accuse him of not doing “more”.. what Trump and his family have and are going through is nothing short of heroic..????
A successful coup, a criminal junta installed at gunpoint, corrupted courts controlled by ?, media crushing dissent – we desperately need to know how all this happened, otherwise it can never be reversed. Does anyone seriously believe the junta will allow President Trump to be reelected in ’24? or even allow MAGA candidates in’22?
Thank you sooo much for the dissection of global trade. Very helpful! And I’m with you…President Trump fought like a lion for our country and I have nothing but gratitude for him.
Thank You Sundance.
So no one’s allowed to criticize Trump around here? That’s weird. Can we at least agree that promoting Atkinson to IG was an unforced error. His resume’ practically stated “Deep State Coup Plotter.”
Thank you Sundance!!! Perfectly stated. I’m with you 100% president Trump did everything in his power to change things.
” To think that President Trump alone could carry the burden of correcting four decades of severe corruption of all things political, without simultaneously considering the scale of the opposition, is naive in the extreme.”
So you are saying Donald Trump is not from the Planet Krypton?
