Maybe not 12 steps. The important thing is to Say NO! and get away from them. In most cases, you have to get away from them first, then slam the door shut and never look back. Do not allow them in your life at all, forever. Forgiveness doesn’t come into play. They are dangerous people who think very highly of themselves. It is well documented in Psychology and in History.
Science Fiction writer Robert Heinlein taught me decades ago the best and brightest migrate to new opportunities and space travel made migration off Earth possible.
We don’t have that option. There is no where to go. There is Florida but if the might of the federal Gvt is set upon it …..
Actually, if you have ever known someone “trying to leave” an abusive relationship, it goes further than that.
If ALL they do is “succesfully” leave their abusers, they will inevitably get into ANOTHER abusive relationship.
Beyond simply parting company with the abuser, they need to do some serious work to address whats in their heads, that causes them to be drawn TO abusers, and what causes abusers to be drawn to them.
I was once in a situation where I was talking with an abuse victim, who was allegedly contemplating leaving the abuser.
It was striking how easily I could manipulate their words and thoughts; if I said anything in any way positive about the abuser, they would immediately counter it with negatives, BUT, if I said anything in any way negative about the abuser, they would immediately counter with positives, “defending” the accuser.
Noticing this, I consciously took them back and forth, for over an hour, and then pointed out the behavior.
They eventually stayed with their abuser.
I don’t know if the analogy to abusive relationships holds true in all aspects, but if it DOES, WE need to do some work on ourselves, to recognise what it is in OUR behavior, that fascillitates our abuse, and change THAT, in order to truly break the cycle of abuse.
Abusers, both physical and sexual, groom their victims. They manipulate their victims to question what is right, just and fair. It’s critical to remove the victim’s sense of self and sense of autonomy. The focus is maneuvering them to be more accepting of manipulation.
It is sick.
Academia has been grooming kids for decades that it is decadent and wrong to be an individual. They have encouraged kids to be part of a collective and all sorts of identity groups. Self-worth has no value in a society that values a collective. They are easier to manipulate. It’s exactly where the ruling class wants them.
It’s dangerous to the continuum of the collective to be an individual.
Free thinkers, aka libertarians and conservatives, have a knee-jerk reaction to manipulation and control. It is our strength but it can also be rather like herding cats trying to get us on the same page going forward.
That is exactly what is going on with the cycle of panic currently. They are grooming us! Let’s face it, those in “charge” are good at grooming — what with pedophiles and psychopaths running the show…what else should we expect.
That’s why spreading good will and cheer, not wearing masks, and as Born Free above says, say “NO.” No further. Don’t Tread on Me. God bless America. I am an American not a slave, a subject or a weakling. I love Jesus, my family and my country. Amen!
Again I ask, WHO would you put in the sights, and WHAT would be the result/benefit?
It is such a target rich environment, one MIGHT say “you hardly need to aim!”, but do you ‘target’ media personalities, or the corporate executives OF the media companies (since MSM are the enemies of America).
Do you target politicians, or thise who pull their strings?
University professors, or their brainwashed students?
WHERE does it START, and where does it END?
Are you going to target your family members, neighbors, co-workers and bosses, who are among the “useful idiots” who are brainwashed by CNN, and by their support, furthering the enemies goals?
And, TO WHAT END would such a gesture lead? The enemy are so DESPERATE for news stories to promote their rediculous false narrative that “White Nationalist domestic terrorism” is the biggest threat to our Nation, that they are staging false flag events like the Whitmer kidnapping plot, and the J6 insurection; they would just LOVE to be able to use this gaslighted threat, as an excuse to revoke 2A, and any efforts to apply “lead” to addressing our current dilemma, would be counter productive.
So, are such comments here simply treepers “venting”, which IS understandable,..or are the comments posted by rolcons, hoping to “trigger” some unstable person/persons into doing something stupid?
Yes. We have those that get all snarky and make the all hat, no cattle comments.
You pointed out all the things our so called government has done to goad us into the
trigger being pulled.
I got sand boxed on Disqus because I kept pointing out to folks that showing up on the
steps of the state capitol armed was not going to make things better. Makes a great photo op for the propaganda media mill and the local news.
But let’s all stand around, armed taking selfies and making sure the government agents monitoring your phones know who are. And that’s not paranoia, it’s what these bastas do. Ray Epps anyone?
January 6th didn’t quite turn out the way they had planned, but enough folks got caught in the trap to use it as a springboard if we’re all not careful.
That looks like a poster from the substance abuse counseling center where I work part time. There are support groups for just about everything, I think an FJB outreach program would be fantastic. Most of the folks who have been busted with dope and DUI lately that end up coming through our doors are despondent over the fallout from the Jim Crow Joe Junta.
A 12 step for people who have been screwed by government over covid would be a great start for political organizing to end this abusive relationship. It could turn into the base for grassroots political activism.
We need to quit waiting for Trump to fix this. We need to move forward on our own now. By now over half the country has been screwed and it is time to fight back.
One of the churches I attend a few weeks back started a group after church where people could discuss their lives and how Covid has impacted them and how they are dealing w/it. I haven’t attended so I don’t know the format and what it is like, just read about it in the newsletter.
Anyway, if done properly I like your thinking. And I agree, time to fix it ourselves.
Actually, thats the STRATEGY.
The TACTICS are, to take away the POWER of Congress, which simultaneously takes the POWER away from the Administrative States.
We do this by focusing on Local, and STATE elections, and electing MAGA Governors, Legislatures and AG’s who will engage in a systematic campaign to challenge Federal usurpation of Powers reserved to the States and We, the People.
It has been structured so that its going to be very difficult, and take many years, to wrest control of Congress away from those in control.
And, we can NOT cut off the $. BUT, through extreme Federalism, we CAN strip Congress, and its illegitimate child the Administrative State, of POWER.
And, it is easier and more doable to win in local and State offices, than it is in Federal elections.
Cold Anger will lead the way, show the steps, to safely, get out of it, and being it’s the govt of the people, by the people, for the people, the process already devised, extreme federalism, can be used. and yes, Love.
It’s only one step. Simply terminate the relationship. I know that sounds easier said than done, but it’s what it all boils down to. Somebody’s gotta leave, and it’s not going o be me.
I believe I saw that Mickey Ds is producing “Get Your Vax” packaging for their
burgers etc. Fascism and marketing stupidity at its best.

Great post! I’m reminded of the adage about people fearing their government vs governments fearing their people. All those Dem Congresspersons retiring shows some fear.
The funny thing is, the Democrats think by just retiring people are gonna forget what they did to us and our Country.
When you bankrupt people and their businesses on purpose with the heavy hand of the Democrat controlled Govt’ policies.
NOBODY IS GONNA FORGET THAT……
If they know it to begin with. How many of the retiring Dementiacrats are in safe D districts and will be replaced by a new and more energetic party apparatchik? Most constituents in the safe D districts are the epitome of “low information” voters.
House districts are usually small. Their constituents know who they are and where they live. It’s up to them to decide if they want to make their former representative’s life a living hell or not. Hopefully they’ll at least vote a bit wiser next time.
In the old days, my House Rep used to visit in various parts of his district his constituents. He made sure he visited every section every couple of months, town hall meetings and such. Now DC is like Barter Town in the movie Thunderdome. The 6 million dollar question is: Who really runs Barter Town?
Not true. Predictably after one party/President makes the hard choices throws out the rascals and things start to improve damned if the dolts don’t rush out and vote the rascalls back in.

What is Biden’s fair share of taxes owed? I think he owes more than he is paying, while he milks the rest of us of every dollar and cent!
You never pay a fair share on what you got unfairly. Who is going to list “bribed by the Chinese government ” on their return. Or “made a bundle on insider trading”.

If you have studied at all the “mass” or “crowd psychology” tactics of Fascism, you will recognize this instantly.
Among the so-called Karens, you also observe the Stockholm Syndrome. People fall in love with their captors and no longer identify as being captives. It is all quite insidious, all quite planned, and very evil.
Our nation once crossed two world oceans at once to fight and defeat this thing in three foreign nations, and now they would have it happen right here. The enemy is now “within.” All they need right now is to lead you on until it is too late. Remember, there were “Good Germans,” too.
The most blood-soaked pages of History Books are poised to repeat themselves. They only need to be given the opportunity to gain “irresistible strength.” Which they have not yet done. Yet. Do not fail to read and to understand these pages. Respond as though your life depends on it, because it does.
Should send this to my estranged daughter. She lives with another young…harumpf….lady. I see about 8 of these going on. But I ignore the gov’t to fullest extent possible.
These young women are totally brainwashed…. and they seem to hate men and complain all the time about not being able to find a decent relationship, LOL. Well I wonder why ….. hahaha. No man wants to date a woman that leans commie left.
As parents there are things I know we didn’t sign up for but for some reason we must bear. Don’t have the same scenario but fully understand your sigh. God bless you.
My daughter used to be a libertarian, somewhere along the way she forgot all about Ayn Rand. She has an Instagram account that she uses to review books. She has several hundred followers. The other day she said her account was hacked. Later she came back on so I looked at what she was promoting — a signed copy of the 1619 Project. I know now why her account was hacked! Somebody throwing sand in the machine! (It wasn’t me!)

Retired Magistrate here: I continue to throw sand in the machinery whenever I can. Just got back from painting with a friend who thinks that the latest scamdemic is just a smoke screen to cover up the mess Biden is making of this country. It is a joy to paint with her.
Had our Christmas Open House about 10 days ago. Don’t know who was vaxed and who wasn’t; we all just had a good time. Went to our country church last Sunday and had a wonderful Christmas service and then went downstairs and had a outstanding Christmas potluck; no masks, just eating, laughing and enjoying each other’s company.
Not vaxed and will continue to remain so. My husband and I are living the best lives that we can at this stage of our lives; in our 70’s with health problems, but in our heads we are in our 20’s and happy to be alive. GOD Bless you all.
Another painter, interesting, the majority of the ones I know are Libs here in Mn. few of us here at least that I know, Galleries are way left.. I gave up trying to blend in with the libs. Paint pretty much alone now, Paint for myself and not for the system any longer. Much happier now if the economy does not tank maybe the sales will remain ok..
I wonder if you know the site “Watercolor Beginners and Enthusiasts.” It is hardly for beginners because there some incredible works there. My husband is a very good watercolorist and enjoys it very much. Room for comments as well. For what is worth.
I live in Mpls. I wish there were a way to connect with like minded people…who want to paint, and other endeavors–elections, etc. No way to do this on CTH, unfortunately.
It’s almost like they took a page out of the domestic abusers’ play book, this is how a violent abuser justifies terrorizing someone physically and emotionally.
I am not totally fond of S & G but there are some good lyrics, themes – such as from “The Sounds of Silence” . . . “hello darkness my old friend” which would seem appropriate track in this current lockdown mentality
A few years back – oh, perhaps about 11 years ago – my Mom happened to see one oft those “international house hunt” programs om tv – I think it must have been HGTV – so when I got home from work, she asked me to look up homes in this particular area of Uruguay that she saw – it was SO beautiful! Not too far from Bueno Aires, either if you wanted to go up there for shopping.
So we found a particular listing that was so beautiful, we looked at it many times and imagined getting up in the morning to make our coffee and enjoying the scenery . . . . but I asked Mom what exactly would be the logistics of moving everything down there . . . it would have to be by sea . . . from California, down to the Panama Canal or down to the dangerous waters at the tip of South America and up again?
And what if the government got taken over by a Marxist/Communist/Socialist group and we would be taken from our beautiful paradise and put in a wretched camp, I could just see being so mad at myself.
As it turned out, I think it was not much later that a Socialist WAS elected President.
Anyway, I think we will just stick close to home . . . I don’t even really want to leave California, having lived here all my life, I just don’t want to cede the territory.

I can say check to all of them so definitely an abusive relationship. What usually happens based on the Investigation Discovery shows is either we get killed or we kill the abuser. Regretfully it is usually the former but I know the abuser doesn’t let you leave. So there’s only one choice.

it looks like yesterday began the winding up of the covid scam. events are moving fast suddenly but i’d estimate this is over by february 2022.
1)biden speech doesnt change policy
2) omicron numbers start coming out indicating that this is the common cold.
3) ny post reveals us army has somehow created an all purpose vaccine, to work against any and all variants from now till kingdom come
4) pfizer and moderna ‘s scam repurposed protease inhibitor drugs they could have intriduced in march 2020 suddenly get emergency use authorization.
5) numbers show noone is getting boosters
6) swing states have shown indications that they wont allow limitless mail in ballot scam again
the next steps:
1) post new years speeches with gradually more and more optimistic assessments and predictions
2) some new shiny key jangling event takes place (russia invades ukraine? china taiwan? israel iran?)
3) while people’s attention is elsewhere, fauci declares victory and resigns
4) biden announces the pandemic is merely endemic and its time to stop worrying and get to love covid .
a year from now:
revelations about the origins of covid, the malfeasance of fauci et al, the corruption, the scams, etc begin coming out.
the media shrugs and says move on. covid is memory holed. the dems give up on 2022 election and gird themselves for the real battle: trying to thwart Trump or de santis from reaching the presidency.
Hmmmm … I love your optimism…. I wish I had it, but they are just going to change the approach…. they will not stop, cede ground, nor allow any of their minions to feel the pain of justice.
I wholly believe they will find a way to make it worse and are only tempering themselves “pre”-Christmas, the new year will be harsh… they have already told us they will make us “pay” and have told us “what they won’t do” but always do in the end.
We cannot vote our way out of this …
They are all in on their agenda… all in…
Probably pretty close to the scenario. But my main concern is that the GOP DOES win in 2022 and they throw a life preserver to their fellow Globalist Uniparty pals as they have done repeatedly in the past. We can’t trust them. The best we can say is that as long as they are in the closet they can’t OPENLY assist in converting the USA to a Marxist Utopia
I agree that it’s turning; we are at an inflection point. Clif High (on Bitchute) has been saying that for several months. He says it’ll be noticeably better by Spring, but it’ll take us many years to truly fix the government – it’s just too large and too far gone to be done more quickly. This includes the thoroughly corrupt federal government AND the many corrupt state governments.
i trust that the obama basement war room with the Bens (Wittes and Rhodes) are feverishly game-planning the next scam…but i do think they realize the covid scam-demic has run its course.
as we’ve seen from their perpetual attacks on 45, they are darn imaginative/insane and will surely think of other stuff. and the media will carry the water for them. hey it might be something we can’t even think of right now.
We need a new Constitution and we won’t get one until we get a new government. “Reform” is just a way for the snakes to shapeshift and stay inside the system.
I’m hoping the supply chain collapses with his mandates and the blue city dwellers start eating each other – starting with the mandate loving Kens and Karens.
I think that Darpa shot plugs the recipient into the Matrix.

US Army: We’ve developed our own Covid vaccine! Take Ours! Come and Get it! You Trust Us, Right?
“A series of recently published preclinical study results show that the Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle (SpFN) COVID-19 vaccine developed by researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) not only elicits a potent immune response but may also provide broad protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern as well as other coronaviruses.”
This is the same Army that is purging itself of anyone who engages in politically incorrect “wrongthink” ; that we should trust to inject us with some magic snake oil they claim solves the covid problem?
I would imagine DARPA was looking over their shoulder. I trust no one.

Plenty of examples in history about how abusive the population can get toward their abusers, when they are enlightened to their plight by a small minority. The elites really need to take care.
I think in Denver they are realizing they don’t have consent on their recent mandates. So they each seem to be distancing themselves, “not MY fault”. Now people need to start pushing back on the mandates that have been in place for a while, and I think there is actually an appetite for that to be the first order of business after making sure Christmas gets celebrated in a way Fauci would not approve of.

Split time between South New Jersey and North Jersey.
Two different worlds.
Went grocery shopping North Jersey (ugh), everyone wearing masks, and they all look like they are in an abusive relationship.
Many North Jersey people moved South to escape the North Jersey Democrat crime cartels. also different, culturally, ethnically, temps, and flora & fauna. Look at a map, Cape May area is below the Mason Dixon Line.
Goldman Sachs Millionaire Communist Murphy, who just stole his election, is going to try and go after them also. Interesting times ahead. NJ is a Liberal lunatic asylum
I’ve shared this story before, but I will again. I was visiting California to see some relatives and stopped by a fruit stand. A very large woman, with a basket on her arm, aggressively and loudly challenged me for using a few plastic bags to put the produce in. “YOU DON’T NEED SO MANY PLASTIC BAGS!!!!” I mumbled something and moved away from her. Part of me was a bit shaken that anyone dared approach me in a public space to yell at me for some normal choice I made. Later it occurred to me that this lonely, sad, brainwashed, woman was a true “Karen” (apologies to all with that name). And she is the exact type of person that would have turned in a Jew to the Nazi’s.
My friend’s husband won’t let her visit friends or family. He’s made her stop all contact with them unless it’s by phone or computer. He reads and censors her comments on social media. He makes her feel like she’s going crazy for thinking that he’s controlling her and that she’s being ungrateful — after all, he’s only doing this because of how much he cares for her.
He doesn’t want her going to the gym anymore, so she doesn’t go. He doesn’t want her going to work anymore, so she doesn’t go. He told her, you gotta rely on me for income. He doesn’t let her go out anymore unless it’s for necessities, and when she does he makes sure he has people in place to guilt trip her about it.
He wants her to have a medical procedure done and if she does, she’ll have more freedoms. And to top it all off, he’s always telling her he’s only doing this because he cares.
Oh wait!!
Did I say husband?
I meant Government.
Here’s the funny thing in society: you’re all outraged if we do this to a spouse, it’s Domestic Violence…. but when the government does it, you’re completely OK with it?
I’m not.

The fake administration is only as strong as states allow it to be. I believe the abuse in blue states will play out differently than it will in a red state. Compare Florida to Oregon, definitely total opposites. The citizens of these two states, I guarantee, will respond differently, because frankly so many in Oregon have already been conditioned, by governor abuse.
It’s not called “Battered Conservative Syndrome” without justification…
There are a million ways to diagnose the problem. The real question is how to help people ESCAPE…
Until we, collectively, walk OUT. No more Twitter. No more Coca Cola or Delta Airlines. No more going on Television and playing by their established rules. No more getting into power and playing nice. No more voting Republican “because it’ll be worse if we lose”. No more big box stores. No more masks. No more obedience.
At some point, and more and more people are getting there, the answer needs to be “f### you people, I’m out.” Then walk away and never look back.

I ended the relationship long ago. I ignore their mandates and live my life as I please. I’m not working now and I don’t need or want anything so I’m in a position to do that. I have enough after I learned that are two ways to have enough; one is to acquire more, the other is to desire less. “The Government” has zero legitimacy. I bow to God only. In other news The NY Post headline today: “Don’t Panic! Don’t feed into the omicron hysteria.” The Post is nominally conservative but they always adhere to the Master Narrative. So someone at the top is backing off it seems. And biden’s Big Announcement was just more of the same. The bidens are flailing, he has no understanding of what he’s saying and he’s beyond caring. So a glimmer of hope as the light of day begins to get stronger

Will the only way to get out of an abusive relationship, is a divorce or put them in a grave. It it time yet.
Those who are not waiting are not going to publish information about what they are doing (instead of waiting) on any blog.
It appears that groupthink dictates that if anyone is doing anything other than waiting, they are expected to announce to everybody what they are doing.
That does not make any sense.
None at all.
When I see the repetitious cries of “Why are we still waiting?” I assume that the person posing the question is waiting for someone else to do something first, and announce it, so the “me, too” stuff can start.
Please stop assuming that those who are not waiting are going to share details here or in any other open blog.
You make a lot of assumptions about me–all of which are totally incorrect. I’d appreciate it if you’d stop your attacks because they just makes you look pathetic.
I don’t need your lectures; I can see for myself what’s happening–or rather, isn’t happening.
Well it looks like the government hits every single one of those. Although I think living in a red State it’s entirely a different scenario for me.

When the welfare state ceased to be a form of insurance, but instead a form of multi-generational and permanent charity, then the relationship of the American people with their government was seriously corrupted. This occurred sometime in the 1960s, thanks to LBJ (America’s worst President, until Biden).
The ideal of America as a cooperative understanding between free men, a democracy, was destroyed. The rich, who foot the bill for the welfare state, grow ever more contemptuous of the very concept or theory of liberal democracy. If you are an adult, and you literally cannot feed yourself, then why should you have any voice in the running of your country?
Elitism is now the dominant mindset of the rich. Limousine liberalism is their badge of honor. The corrupt 2020 election was seen as right and just, and the fact that Donald Trump was the populist choice only reinforced the elite’s new contempt for American democracy. Of course corporatism and plutocracy are now America’s de facto form of government.
Another American revolution is probably required, probably inevitable. The hysterical reaction of the elite to the pathetic January 6 demonstration is because those same elitists are amazed the second American revolution hasn’t yet come.

In Canada, Quebec is considering asking asymptomatic healthcare workers to continue working. This is after Canada implemented the vaccine mandate and fired those healthcare workers who would not get vaccinated (whether they had natural immunity or not). A simple test would show whether they have natural immunity.
The vaccines do not work. The healthcare “system” will not recognize the benefits of ivermectin. They could roll out ivermectin for everyone at a fraction of the cost spent on tests and other government support.
Enough of the medical entertainers pretending to be doctors. Clearly their business model is more of the same as they rack up the billable hours.
Outstanding, Bro.
Is there a 12 step program for getting out of an abusive relationship? Maybe FJBANON?
LOVE^^^^
Maybe not 12 steps. The important thing is to Say NO! and get away from them. In most cases, you have to get away from them first, then slam the door shut and never look back. Do not allow them in your life at all, forever. Forgiveness doesn’t come into play. They are dangerous people who think very highly of themselves. It is well documented in Psychology and in History.
Science Fiction writer Robert Heinlein taught me decades ago the best and brightest migrate to new opportunities and space travel made migration off Earth possible.
We don’t have that option. There is no where to go. There is Florida but if the might of the federal Gvt is set upon it …..
I wish I knew the answer.
Actually, if you have ever known someone “trying to leave” an abusive relationship, it goes further than that.
If ALL they do is “succesfully” leave their abusers, they will inevitably get into ANOTHER abusive relationship.
Beyond simply parting company with the abuser, they need to do some serious work to address whats in their heads, that causes them to be drawn TO abusers, and what causes abusers to be drawn to them.
I was once in a situation where I was talking with an abuse victim, who was allegedly contemplating leaving the abuser.

It’s dangerous to the continuum of the collective to be an individual.
Free thinkers, aka libertarians and conservatives, have a knee-jerk reaction to manipulation and control. It is our strength but it can also be rather like herding cats trying to get us on the same page going forward.
Yes, this is definitely an abusive relationship.
And our abusers have the weight of the international media propaganda behind them to help with their gaslighting.
That is exactly what is going on with the cycle of panic currently. They are grooming us! Let’s face it, those in “charge” are good at grooming — what with pedophiles and psychopaths running the show…what else should we expect.
That’s why spreading good will and cheer, not wearing masks, and as Born Free above says, say “NO.” No further. Don’t Tread on Me. God bless America. I am an American not a slave, a subject or a weakling. I love Jesus, my family and my country. Amen!
Amen, Deborah!
Merry Christmas and blessings to you and yours.
Unfortunately, it might take a 12 gauge program
No program, but a few 30 round magazines will be a good start…
the kind “with the most clips”
(forget who said it but it was LOL then and it’s still LOL now)
The thing that goes up.
Yes an elected representative said that.
Again I ask, WHO would you put in the sights, and WHAT would be the result/benefit?
It is such a target rich environment, one MIGHT say “you hardly need to aim!”, but do you ‘target’ media personalities, or the corporate executives OF the media companies (since MSM are the enemies of America).
Do you target politicians, or thise who pull their strings?
University professors, or their brainwashed students?
WHERE does it START, and where does it END?
Are you going to target your family members, neighbors, co-workers and bosses, who are among the “useful idiots” who are brainwashed by CNN, and by their support, furthering the enemies goals?
And, TO WHAT END would such a gesture lead? The enemy are so DESPERATE for news stories to promote their rediculous false narrative that “White Nationalist domestic terrorism” is the biggest threat to our Nation, that they are staging false flag events like the Whitmer kidnapping plot, and the J6 insurection; they would just LOVE to be able to use this gaslighted threat, as an excuse to revoke 2A, and any efforts to apply “lead” to addressing our current dilemma, would be counter productive.
So, are such comments here simply treepers “venting”, which IS understandable,..or are the comments posted by rolcons, hoping to “trigger” some unstable person/persons into doing something stupid?
I don’t know, of coarse but I DO wonder,..
Yes. We have those that get all snarky and make the all hat, no cattle comments.
You pointed out all the things our so called government has done to goad us into the
trigger being pulled.
I got sand boxed on Disqus because I kept pointing out to folks that showing up on the
steps of the state capitol armed was not going to make things better. Makes a great photo op for the propaganda media mill and the local news.
But let’s all stand around, armed taking selfies and making sure the government agents monitoring your phones know who are. And that’s not paranoia, it’s what these bastas do. Ray Epps anyone?
January 6th didn’t quite turn out the way they had planned, but enough folks got caught in the trap to use it as a springboard if we’re all not careful.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
The perplexing part of it all, is many are believing the so-called marriage wasn’t legal at all. Faked.
That looks like a poster from the substance abuse counseling center where I work part time. There are support groups for just about everything, I think an FJB outreach program would be fantastic. Most of the folks who have been busted with dope and DUI lately that end up coming through our doors are despondent over the fallout from the Jim Crow Joe Junta.
A 12 step for people who have been screwed by government over covid would be a great start for political organizing to end this abusive relationship. It could turn into the base for grassroots political activism.
We need to quit waiting for Trump to fix this. We need to move forward on our own now. By now over half the country has been screwed and it is time to fight back.
One of the churches I attend a few weeks back started a group after church where people could discuss their lives and how Covid has impacted them and how they are dealing w/it. I haven’t attended so I don’t know the format and what it is like, just read about it in the newsletter.
Anyway, if done properly I like your thinking. And I agree, time to fix it ourselves.
There’s a one step program. REMOVE CONGRESS and 85% of federal employees and problems created by THEY is reduced 90%.
Actually, thats the STRATEGY.
The TACTICS are, to take away the POWER of Congress, which simultaneously takes the POWER away from the Administrative States.
We do this by focusing on Local, and STATE elections, and electing MAGA Governors, Legislatures and AG’s who will engage in a systematic campaign to challenge Federal usurpation of Powers reserved to the States and We, the People.
It has been structured so that its going to be very difficult, and take many years, to wrest control of Congress away from those in control.
And, we can NOT cut off the $. BUT, through extreme Federalism, we CAN strip Congress, and its illegitimate child the Administrative State, of POWER.
And, it is easier and more doable to win in local and State offices, than it is in Federal elections.
Nope. That’s long way round.
Think thermonuclear and we clear the mall.
Cold Anger will lead the way, show the steps, to safely, get out of it, and being it’s the govt of the people, by the people, for the people, the process already devised, extreme federalism, can be used. and yes, Love.
It’s only one step. Simply terminate the relationship. I know that sounds easier said than done, but it’s what it all boils down to. Somebody’s gotta leave, and it’s not going o be me.
Here’s the Workplace Mental Health Institute infographic as a PDF –

For those of us who no longer have young eyes. 🙂
A few minor changes to that and they would make great placemats at restaurants as a conversation starter.
I believe I saw that Mickey Ds is producing “Get Your Vax” packaging for their
burgers etc. Fascism and marketing stupidity at its best.
Great post! I’m reminded of the adage about people fearing their government vs governments fearing their people. All those Dem Congresspersons retiring shows some fear.
The funny thing is, the Democrats think by just retiring people are gonna forget what they did to us and our Country.
When you bankrupt people and their businesses on purpose with the heavy hand of the Democrat controlled Govt’ policies.
NOBODY IS GONNA FORGET THAT……
If they know it to begin with. How many of the retiring Dementiacrats are in safe D districts and will be replaced by a new and more energetic party apparatchik? Most constituents in the safe D districts are the epitome of “low information” voters.
House districts are usually small. Their constituents know who they are and where they live. It’s up to them to decide if they want to make their former representative’s life a living hell or not. Hopefully they’ll at least vote a bit wiser next time.
In the old days, my House Rep used to visit in various parts of his district his constituents. He made sure he visited every section every couple of months, town hall meetings and such. Now DC is like Barter Town in the movie Thunderdome. The 6 million dollar question is: Who really runs Barter Town?
They hid CFR comrade & Speaker Newt Gingrich for a few years. He was mothballed until NeoCon Fox dusted him off a few years ago.
Not true. Predictably after one party/President makes the hard choices throws out the rascals and things start to improve damned if the dolts don’t rush out and vote the rascalls back in.
It looks like Gas went down, only paying 10 cents more this week than last week, in Biden’s upside down fantasy world.
What is Biden’s fair share of taxes owed? I think he owes more than he is paying, while he milks the rest of us of every dollar and cent!
Oh, he definitely isn’t paying his fair share
You never pay a fair share on what you got unfairly. Who is going to list “bribed by the Chinese government ” on their return. Or “made a bundle on insider trading”.
If you have studied at all the “mass” or “crowd psychology” tactics of Fascism, you will recognize this instantly.
Among the so-called Karens, you also observe the Stockholm Syndrome. People fall in love with their captors and no longer identify as being captives. It is all quite insidious, all quite planned, and very evil.
Our nation once crossed two world oceans at once to fight and defeat this thing in three foreign nations, and now they would have it happen right here. The enemy is now “within.” All they need right now is to lead you on until it is too late. Remember, there were “Good Germans,” too.
The most blood-soaked pages of History Books are poised to repeat themselves. They only need to be given the opportunity to gain “irresistible strength.” Which they have not yet done. Yet. Do not fail to read and to understand these pages. Respond as though your life depends on it, because it does.
100%
Senator McCarthy of California was correct.
Amen to that headline. I have been saying the same for a while about liberalism. We need a restraining order.
5150
Restraining order – see Second Amendment.
Spot on.
RO is fine if it gives some peace of mind.
As long as you keep in mind
it only has force to the extent that the person it’s filed against
complies with it.
It’s not unusual for a person who has an RO against another person to end up dead.
We already have a restraining order, the Constitution . We now need to enforce it.
beautiful – good answer!
Exactly!
I divorced them a year ago.
They’re seeing communists now.
Should send this to my estranged daughter. She lives with another young…harumpf….lady. I see about 8 of these going on. But I ignore the gov’t to fullest extent possible.
These young women are totally brainwashed…. and they seem to hate men and complain all the time about not being able to find a decent relationship, LOL. Well I wonder why ….. hahaha. No man wants to date a woman that leans commie left.
Sadly I think a lot of my daughter’s brainwashing took place at a “Christian” college. Sigh…we miss her.
As a mother, my heart truly weeps with you. And for her.
As parents there are things I know we didn’t sign up for but for some reason we must bear. Don’t have the same scenario but fully understand your sigh. God bless you.
My daughter used to be a libertarian, somewhere along the way she forgot all about Ayn Rand. She has an Instagram account that she uses to review books. She has several hundred followers. The other day she said her account was hacked. Later she came back on so I looked at what she was promoting — a signed copy of the 1619 Project. I know now why her account was hacked! Somebody throwing sand in the machine! (It wasn’t me!)
I think we all understand we’re being ruled over by psychopaths, and I mean that literally…
You are entirely correct.
1945: America helped defeat tyrannical governments.
2021: America has a tyrannical government.

You left off number 16.
16) Kill you.
^^^^ THIS …… way worse than just abuse !
” Anyone who will not take part in the universal system will HAVE NO RIGHT TO EXIST ”
Dr. Kurk E Koch
Sundance is being too generous.
As with any abusive relationship, YOU MUST (by faith and prayer) BREAK FREE to avoid #16 KILLS YOU
The irony (for me) was that the fear of #16 for my children and myself, prevented me from ‘breaking free’.
The blessing was when HE found wife #2. (He’s on #4 now, lol and bless his heart.)
#17) All the while, smelling your hair and caressing your shoulders …lol
The damage is done.
This government is dead to me.
Which other country does this?
C H I N A
The US has been captured by CHINA
Not so much captured as “purchased.” And if we make it out of this coup intact, the corrupt politicians who are bought and paid for, must face the harshest possible penalty, to discourage a treasonous recurrence with the next crew.
Rhetorical question I presume.
Retired Magistrate here: I continue to throw sand in the machinery whenever I can. Just got back from painting with a friend who thinks that the latest scamdemic is just a smoke screen to cover up the mess Biden is making of this country. It is a joy to paint with her.
Had our Christmas Open House about 10 days ago. Don’t know who was vaxed and who wasn’t; we all just had a good time. Went to our country church last Sunday and had a wonderful Christmas service and then went downstairs and had a outstanding Christmas potluck; no masks, just eating, laughing and enjoying each other’s company.
Not vaxed and will continue to remain so. My husband and I are living the best lives that we can at this stage of our lives; in our 70’s with health problems, but in our heads we are in our 20’s and happy to be alive. GOD Bless you all.
Sundance always says
“Live your best life”.
Simple, but effective.
Another painter, interesting, the majority of the ones I know are Libs here in Mn. few of us here at least that I know, Galleries are way left.. I gave up trying to blend in with the libs. Paint pretty much alone now, Paint for myself and not for the system any longer. Much happier now if the economy does not tank maybe the sales will remain ok..
I wonder if you know the site “Watercolor Beginners and Enthusiasts.” It is hardly for beginners because there some incredible works there. My husband is a very good watercolorist and enjoys it very much. Room for comments as well. For what is worth.
I live in Mpls. I wish there were a way to connect with like minded people…who want to paint, and other endeavors–elections, etc. No way to do this on CTH, unfortunately.
It’s almost like they took a page out of the domestic abusers’ play book, this is how a violent abuser justifies terrorizing someone physically and emotionally.
The Merriest of Christmases to you, Marcia, and to all your family.
Glad to hear this, Marcia! Sounds so normal and natural!😍
Gotta love the country church, they are the BEST.
You deserve better.
“Are we in an abusive relationship with our own government?”
YES !
a thousand times YES !
Yes we are…time to disarm the bastards with red light laws….
Nope. Rule 303, 556, 308, M2, AT4, MLRS. 105
Yes, we’re in a very abusive relationship, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear path to get out of it.
to borrow a phrase from Simon & Garfunkel
“hop on a bus, Gus” . . .
iow, walk out the door and keep walking
I am not totally fond of S & G but there are some good lyrics, themes – such as from “The Sounds of Silence” . . . “hello darkness my old friend” which would seem appropriate track in this current lockdown mentality
After changes upon changes…
We are more or less the same.
USA used to be a safe house for battered citizens… now it is the batterer.
Not just the USA. Where would we even go?
A few years back – oh, perhaps about 11 years ago – my Mom happened to see one oft those “international house hunt” programs om tv – I think it must have been HGTV – so when I got home from work, she asked me to look up homes in this particular area of Uruguay that she saw – it was SO beautiful! Not too far from Bueno Aires, either if you wanted to go up there for shopping.
So we found a particular listing that was so beautiful, we looked at it many times and imagined getting up in the morning to make our coffee and enjoying the scenery . . . . but I asked Mom what exactly would be the logistics of moving everything down there . . . it would have to be by sea . . . from California, down to the Panama Canal or down to the dangerous waters at the tip of South America and up again?
And what if the government got taken over by a Marxist/Communist/Socialist group and we would be taken from our beautiful paradise and put in a wretched camp, I could just see being so mad at myself.
As it turned out, I think it was not much later that a Socialist WAS elected President.
Anyway, I think we will just stick close to home . . . I don’t even really want to leave California, having lived here all my life, I just don’t want to cede the territory.
I can say check to all of them so definitely an abusive relationship. What usually happens based on the Investigation Discovery shows is either we get killed or we kill the abuser. Regretfully it is usually the former but I know the abuser doesn’t let you leave. So there’s only one choice.
it looks like yesterday began the winding up of the covid scam. events are moving fast suddenly but i’d estimate this is over by february 2022.
1)biden speech doesnt change policy
2) omicron numbers start coming out indicating that this is the common cold.
3) ny post reveals us army has somehow created an all purpose vaccine, to work against any and all variants from now till kingdom come
4) pfizer and moderna ‘s scam repurposed protease inhibitor drugs they could have intriduced in march 2020 suddenly get emergency use authorization.
5) numbers show noone is getting boosters
6) swing states have shown indications that they wont allow limitless mail in ballot scam again
the next steps:
1) post new years speeches with gradually more and more optimistic assessments and predictions
2) some new shiny key jangling event takes place (russia invades ukraine? china taiwan? israel iran?)
3) while people’s attention is elsewhere, fauci declares victory and resigns
4) biden announces the pandemic is merely endemic and its time to stop worrying and get to love covid .
a year from now:
revelations about the origins of covid, the malfeasance of fauci et al, the corruption, the scams, etc begin coming out.
the media shrugs and says move on. covid is memory holed. the dems give up on 2022 election and gird themselves for the real battle: trying to thwart Trump or de santis from reaching the presidency.
Hmmmm … I love your optimism…. I wish I had it, but they are just going to change the approach…. they will not stop, cede ground, nor allow any of their minions to feel the pain of justice.
I wholly believe they will find a way to make it worse and are only tempering themselves “pre”-Christmas, the new year will be harsh… they have already told us they will make us “pay” and have told us “what they won’t do” but always do in the end.
We cannot vote our way out of this …
They are all in on their agenda… all in…
I agree, especially since the Great (economic) Reset was at least decades in planning. The pandemic is just a means to an end.
And the “end” means microchipped, trackable and quite possibly robotic, transhuman people.
Yep. Eventually we will comply or they will kill us.
Probably pretty close to the scenario. But my main concern is that the GOP DOES win in 2022 and they throw a life preserver to their fellow Globalist Uniparty pals as they have done repeatedly in the past. We can’t trust them. The best we can say is that as long as they are in the closet they can’t OPENLY assist in converting the USA to a Marxist Utopia
I agree that it’s turning; we are at an inflection point. Clif High (on Bitchute) has been saying that for several months. He says it’ll be noticeably better by Spring, but it’ll take us many years to truly fix the government – it’s just too large and too far gone to be done more quickly. This includes the thoroughly corrupt federal government AND the many corrupt state governments.
i trust that the obama basement war room with the Bens (Wittes and Rhodes) are feverishly game-planning the next scam…but i do think they realize the covid scam-demic has run its course.
as we’ve seen from their perpetual attacks on 45, they are darn imaginative/insane and will surely think of other stuff. and the media will carry the water for them. hey it might be something we can’t even think of right now.
We need a new Constitution and we won’t get one until we get a new government. “Reform” is just a way for the snakes to shapeshift and stay inside the system.
We need the one we have to be observed, defended and adhered to.
I’m hoping the supply chain collapses with his mandates and the blue city dwellers start eating each other – starting with the mandate loving Kens and Karens.
I think that Darpa shot plugs the recipient into the Matrix.
“abusive relationship”?
I am thinking more like a “knock-down, drag-out, back alley” fight.
Just hypothetical, of course. /s
ps Which we are winning …… witness the trashing around of the coup plotters.
MAGAs have the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America.
And we have the best leader, President Trump.
If you are MAGA, you are on the winning side.
Right on!
I am watching the “Washington DC Update On Covid-19 Surge” on NeoCon Fox News and I would gather that this propaganda would make the Soviet Union media of the 1980’s blush
US Army: We’ve developed our own Covid vaccine! Take Ours! Come and Get it! You Trust Us, Right?
“A series of recently published preclinical study results show that the Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle (SpFN) COVID-19 vaccine developed by researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) not only elicits a potent immune response but may also provide broad protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern as well as other coronaviruses.”
https://www.army.mil/article/252890/series_of_preclinical_studies_supports_the_armys_pan_coronavirus_vaccine_development_strategy
This is the same Army that is purging itself of anyone who engages in politically incorrect “wrongthink” ; that we should trust to inject us with some magic snake oil they claim solves the covid problem?
Hard pass, thank you.
very not suspicious.
like theres totally nothing to look at here
cmon man
I would imagine DARPA was looking over their shoulder. I trust no one.
Plenty of examples in history about how abusive the population can get toward their abusers, when they are enlightened to their plight by a small minority. The elites really need to take care.
Shhh.. Never interrupt the enemy when he is making a YUGE mistake.
For me, coming after the children was the last straw. That really was a call to action.
WE THE PEOPLE have to again realize our POWER.
and , our authority over ” them ”
Without consent , they have nothing.
Your missing the point Sparrow Hawk.
The only power we have is a rifle or the pen. Be proficient with both.
I think in Denver they are realizing they don’t have consent on their recent mandates. So they each seem to be distancing themselves, “not MY fault”. Now people need to start pushing back on the mandates that have been in place for a while, and I think there is actually an appetite for that to be the first order of business after making sure Christmas gets celebrated in a way Fauci would not approve of.
I regret I’m unable to link for all of you…But on Citizen Free Press there is a brilliant British produced video, short, under the heading “It’s beginning to Look Like Clot Shot”.
If there is anyone who would be so kind as to post a link, it would be much appreciated.
The truth is out.
Here ya go…

Thank you so much!! 👍💓
You’re very welcome, Betsy. I appreciate your post about it. Otherwise, I would not have known to look for it. 🙂
Oh my, I should NOT have laughed but that’s just brilliant!
I totally understand. It is both funny and poignantly serious.
By the way, thank Betsy for alerting me/us to it. Otherwise, I would not have known to look it up and post the link.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Clotshot…

So kind, DT2016. An embarrassment of rich helpful posters😊
Never mind. Someone else beat me to it.
Your heart is in the right place….and I thank you.
That’s by Spacebusters. Here’s their channel:
https://www.bitchute.com/channel/MKanl25dSUxl/
Lots of good info on that channel, including info that exposes the fraudulent science behind the covid operation.
Oh super! I didn’t realize they had their own dedicated channel. Thank you, Amanda. That short video was a bit vulgar, but only a little. It’s what the Brits do. Raw truth is coming out.
Yep. Sounds about right.
Yes we are. It’s obvious. I don’t take kindly to Narcissistic Psychopaths. Have had close encounters with a couple. They will bully you into doing what they want you to do and they will continue to bully you until you’re dead.
Yep. Can’t call the police because they will arrest the victims. Can’t call the military because trannies rule. So I guess that leaves us to fix it.
If you have to ask if you are in an abusive relationship, then you are in an abusive relationship.
Apparently the (bioweapon developing) US Army has concocted what is being called a “universal vaccine”. Take a moment and reflect on that. Story on Zerohedge.
Split time between South New Jersey and North Jersey.
Two different worlds.
Went grocery shopping North Jersey (ugh), everyone wearing masks, and they all look like they are in an abusive relationship.
Mousy, scared little things. 🙄
Many North Jersey people moved South to escape the North Jersey Democrat crime cartels. also different, culturally, ethnically, temps, and flora & fauna. Look at a map, Cape May area is below the Mason Dixon Line.
Goldman Sachs Millionaire Communist Murphy, who just stole his election, is going to try and go after them also. Interesting times ahead. NJ is a Liberal lunatic asylum
I have relatives in North NJ, Can confirm 🙄
I’ve shared this story before, but I will again. I was visiting California to see some relatives and stopped by a fruit stand. A very large woman, with a basket on her arm, aggressively and loudly challenged me for using a few plastic bags to put the produce in. “YOU DON’T NEED SO MANY PLASTIC BAGS!!!!” I mumbled something and moved away from her. Part of me was a bit shaken that anyone dared approach me in a public space to yell at me for some normal choice I made. Later it occurred to me that this lonely, sad, brainwashed, woman was a true “Karen” (apologies to all with that name). And she is the exact type of person that would have turned in a Jew to the Nazi’s.
They can’t even see themselves for what they are.
I believe they see themselves as uber virtuous and that you are not. Nazi/Jew fits.
I believe they like pushing people around, but are weak and need some “rules” to hide behind and use like a club.
They are the same people who burned little girls at the stake so THEY didn’t need to be afraid of dying anymore.
Shirley Jackson short story, “The Lottery.”
But you saw her for what she is, and surely that’s the most important thing – protecting yourself and your own interests?
Wise move. I would probably have taken her on and subsequently been arrested for inciting a riot:)
The reply is Mind Your Own Business and any extra you want on that. 😉
OMG! My ex husband! Restraining order was required. Can we get an order of protection against our own government?
That’s supposed to be the constitution. No longer enforced.
In The Declaration it was given ……….
” after a long train of abuses ……. “
You are so right. Lordy. I had horrible flash backs reading this post. I’ll probably have nightmares reliving some of it.
I had a version of this I wrote years ago in response to Liberals claiming they love their country. It’s called, “So she says she loves you…”
“She says she loves you, then
Does she love you?”
Been telling this story for 15+ years…
Excellent!
My friend’s husband won’t let her visit friends or family. He’s made her stop all contact with them unless it’s by phone or computer. He reads and censors her comments on social media. He makes her feel like she’s going crazy for thinking that he’s controlling her and that she’s being ungrateful — after all, he’s only doing this because of how much he cares for her.
He doesn’t want her going to the gym anymore, so she doesn’t go. He doesn’t want her going to work anymore, so she doesn’t go. He told her, you gotta rely on me for income. He doesn’t let her go out anymore unless it’s for necessities, and when she does he makes sure he has people in place to guilt trip her about it.
He wants her to have a medical procedure done and if she does, she’ll have more freedoms. And to top it all off, he’s always telling her he’s only doing this because he cares.
Oh wait!!
Did I say husband?
I meant Government.
Here’s the funny thing in society: you’re all outraged if we do this to a spouse, it’s Domestic Violence…. but when the government does it, you’re completely OK with it?
I’m not.
The fake administration is only as strong as states allow it to be. I believe the abuse in blue states will play out differently than it will in a red state. Compare Florida to Oregon, definitely total opposites. The citizens of these two states, I guarantee, will respond differently, because frankly so many in Oregon have already been conditioned, by governor abuse.
At least 20+ states are enablers…
Some might say 49 states are enablers because only Florida has rejected the fed’s mandates
ABSOLUTELY, I’ve thought exactly the same for years.
The government is the abuser and becoming ever more abusive and tyrannical.
We the people fit the description for the victim, but only a handful of us are aware of the abuses.
And we are all helpless to do anything about it.
The top part was missing.
Twitter must be blocking the copying of the top. It say Blackrock is owner of all these companies.
It’s not called “Battered Conservative Syndrome” without justification…
There are a million ways to diagnose the problem. The real question is how to help people ESCAPE…
Until we, collectively, walk OUT. No more Twitter. No more Coca Cola or Delta Airlines. No more going on Television and playing by their established rules. No more getting into power and playing nice. No more voting Republican “because it’ll be worse if we lose”. No more big box stores. No more masks. No more obedience.
At some point, and more and more people are getting there, the answer needs to be “f### you people, I’m out.” Then walk away and never look back.
If we had our REAL POTUS my portfolio would be A LOT better – so yes…I am suffering from what the criminals did.
I ended the relationship long ago. I ignore their mandates and live my life as I please. I’m not working now and I don’t need or want anything so I’m in a position to do that. I have enough after I learned that are two ways to have enough; one is to acquire more, the other is to desire less. “The Government” has zero legitimacy. I bow to God only. In other news The NY Post headline today: “Don’t Panic! Don’t feed into the omicron hysteria.” The Post is nominally conservative but they always adhere to the Master Narrative. So someone at the top is backing off it seems. And biden’s Big Announcement was just more of the same. The bidens are flailing, he has no understanding of what he’s saying and he’s beyond caring. So a glimmer of hope as the light of day begins to get stronger
Will the only way to get out of an abusive relationship, is a divorce or put them in a grave. It it time yet.
Apparently it IS not time yet. What the hell we’re waiting for is beyond me!
Not everybody is waiting.
Those who are not waiting are not going to publish information about what they are doing (instead of waiting) on any blog.
It appears that groupthink dictates that if anyone is doing anything other than waiting, they are expected to announce to everybody what they are doing.
That does not make any sense.
None at all.
When I see the repetitious cries of “Why are we still waiting?” I assume that the person posing the question is waiting for someone else to do something first, and announce it, so the “me, too” stuff can start.
Please stop assuming that those who are not waiting are going to share details here or in any other open blog.
Too bad you can’t repost this every dozen comments or so. Absolutely right on the mark.
You make a lot of assumptions about me–all of which are totally incorrect. I’d appreciate it if you’d stop your attacks because they just makes you look pathetic.
I don’t need your lectures; I can see for myself what’s happening–or rather, isn’t happening.
“An accident, Delores, is an unhappy wife’s best friend.”
Good movie.
When the enemy is destroying themselves…. let them.
They see us as walking viruses who are overwhelming “their” systems. Lol
Well it looks like the government hits every single one of those. Although I think living in a red State it’s entirely a different scenario for me.
WOW . . now THAT’s a trance breaker !!
When the welfare state ceased to be a form of insurance, but instead a form of multi-generational and permanent charity, then the relationship of the American people with their government was seriously corrupted. This occurred sometime in the 1960s, thanks to LBJ (America’s worst President, until Biden).
The ideal of America as a cooperative understanding between free men, a democracy, was destroyed. The rich, who foot the bill for the welfare state, grow ever more contemptuous of the very concept or theory of liberal democracy. If you are an adult, and you literally cannot feed yourself, then why should you have any voice in the running of your country?
Elitism is now the dominant mindset of the rich. Limousine liberalism is their badge of honor. The corrupt 2020 election was seen as right and just, and the fact that Donald Trump was the populist choice only reinforced the elite’s new contempt for American democracy. Of course corporatism and plutocracy are now America’s de facto form of government.
Another American revolution is probably required, probably inevitable. The hysterical reaction of the elite to the pathetic January 6 demonstration is because those same elitists are amazed the second American revolution hasn’t yet come.
In Canada, Quebec is considering asking asymptomatic healthcare workers to continue working. This is after Canada implemented the vaccine mandate and fired those healthcare workers who would not get vaccinated (whether they had natural immunity or not). A simple test would show whether they have natural immunity.

The vaccines do not work. The healthcare “system” will not recognize the benefits of ivermectin. They could roll out ivermectin for everyone at a fraction of the cost spent on tests and other government support.
Enough of the medical entertainers pretending to be doctors. Clearly their business model is more of the same as they rack up the billable hours.
