With around 4,000 miles separation, two friends of the Treehouse, Neil Oliver and Lee Smith, essentially asked me the same question this week, “how do we stop this madness?”
It should not be an option hearing this talk about the need to secede, fracture, isolate or form smaller defensive boundaries. WE ARE IN THE MAJORITY, they just control the power structures and systems of communication. That’s why they spend so much time, effort and attention manipulating social media. My proposed solution is to draw from history, specifically from the Polish solidarity movement. What we need is a general two-day workers strike, highlighting to the few that the many have had enough.
In his weekly monologue Neil Oliver takes the new issue of rationing vegetables in the U.K and overlays the surplus of lies that creates it. Neil Oliver generally has exceptional insight and strong grasps on the obvious; however, this one is epic and one of his best. WATCH:
[Transcript] – They’re rationing tomatoes in the supermarkets. We’re told it’s about supply chains, bad weather and the price of heating, but right now, in terms of the messaging, I suspect it’s more about pushing the word – rationing. Less about any believable shortage of food and more about getting us used to hearing the word.
No doubt, if experience is anything to go by, the rest will come later. My money says the rationing app for our smartphones is already sitting on a hard drive somewhere, ready when we are.
For now, it’s more of a familiar process of psychological manipulation. Get us acquainted with the general idea of food scarcity so that we’re well-primed when the planned reality is unrolled.
We were given the same treatment with words like “lockdown” and “pandemic”, “mandate” and “denier”. Nudge, nudge. Rationing is a word from our parents’ and grandparents’ generation, a bit like “War in Europe” and “Fascist” and now they’re back in fashion once more. Rationing, I ask you, while the landfills swell with fresh food dumped every day.
The manipulation is invariably about an iron hand in a velvet glove, softly, softly catchy monkey. Much of the messaging in the MSM is, and has been for years, redolent of World War II and the fabled Blitz Spirit, “We’re all in it together”, “making do”, “mustn’t grumble”, “doing our bit”, “standing up for democracy”, “defending the free world”, “sacrifice”, “keep calm and carry on”. Someone somewhere must think our heads zip up the back.
Since I’ve mentioned the “D” word, which is democracy, why not pause for a moment to consider whether any of us has had a chance to vote, voting being that part of democracy we’re invited to think matters most, on any of this.
Do you remember ever voting to give the government the power to lock us in our homes, to shut our children’s schools, our pubs and restaurants, shops and businesses, to tell us whom we could visit or have in our homes, whether we could go for a walk, travel within our own country, far less beyond these shores? Do you remember voting to empower employers to mandate medical procedures for their staff?
And while we’re on the subject of propaganda, who thought to convince us it was ok to demonize and exclude healthy fellow citizens on the grounds they might be carrying an invisible disease?
If you don’t remember whether or not you were invited to get involved in a conversation or a debate about all of this, perhaps it’s because you were, quite understandably, distracted most of the time by the bombardment of state-sanctioned messaging by politicians and the MSM.
Or maybe you were just afraid of the guaranteed ridicule or losing your job.
It’s not just us here in the UK either. I wonder how many US citizens ask themselves when they voted to have their government send well over 100 billion dollars to Ukraine at a time of critical hardship for millions of Americans unable to afford food or heating.
Rather than ask questions, or, in the case of the tax-paying citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, liberally dusted as they are with fallout from a vinyl chloride mushroom cloud ignited with the go-ahead of their own elected officials after a train derailment, perhaps querying why their predicament is not the stuff of a national emergency while fish die in their rivers and their pet and animals die in the fields, they are apparently expected to be reassured by the sight of Joe Biden posing for photos thousands of miles away in Ukraine, while air raid sirens provide sound effects and President Zelensky turns out once more in his freshly laundered combats.
So many times over the past few years, I have thought to myself: “Who do these people think they are”, all of them, once elected to office, herding us towards World War, taking away our natural freedoms? Who do these people think they are that feel empowered to disregard our liberty, our very existence as independent individuals, and spend their time posturing and politicking? Fiddling while Rome burns.
Who do these people think they are blatantly creating and then ignoring hardship, enacting policies to wreck livelihoods, economies and the wellbeing of millions and then standing by while real people suffer the consequences of their vainglorious, self-serving nonsense disguised by propaganda shaped only to distract? And by God do they need to distract us.
Let’s stop for a moment and think what the reality of the situation is – the undeniable reality – which is that we already have the potential for more than enough food, energy and everything else, courtesy of existing technology, and therefore any alleged shortages in the West are only fraudulent fiction.
I said at the top we were being familiarized with rationing and making do. There’s a glaring paradox in all this. At the same time as being nudged into thinking we must do without we are simultaneously drowning in surplus of every sort.
We have centuries of affordable energy under our feet and yet we are bullied into a false reality in which fewer and fewer people can afford to heat their homes or put fuel in their cars and vans. Every year we bulldoze billions of pounds worth of food into landfills while now being told to do without erstwhile familiar foodstuffs.
We do much the same with clothes made in sweatshops and worn once before discarding into those same landfills. We upgrade our phones and other tech and put last year’s offering in the bin, disregarding the lithium and cobalt and the rest of the precious metals mined by child slaves out of sight and out of mind. We will soon be ordered to junk our gas boilers and our petrol and diesel cars. Our governments siphon our taxes into subsidies for wind turbines and solar panels that will themselves be yet more toxic landfill in 20 years’ time.
It’s not just about consumables that we can touch. Every moment of every day we are deluged with information as well, data, and so-called news, but made increasingly incapable of discerning how much, if any of it, is worth knowing in the first place. So much chaff in which to hide the wheat. We are drowning in words but struggling desperately to find so much as a sentence worth reading.
Instead of being educated at school, learning objectively and meaningfully about our shared history, heritage and culture, about how to understand the world and contributing to its betterment, our children are too often indoctrinated with propaganda, drilled with ideologies predicated upon obsession not with the content of people’s characters but with the colour of their skins and the nature of their sexual preferences real or imagined.
A television series that has been the work of hundreds, if not thousands of people spread over a year or more – an effort that was once the stuff of a shared experience keeping us engaged and talking together as communities for months on end – is binge-watched in a single night.
In every way imaginable our dopamine receptors – especially those of our children – are being bludgeoned into numbness.
An eight-year-old boy with a smartphone and an internet connection can help himself, in a week, to more naked women in more positions and predicaments than Genghis Khan saw in a lifetime of murderous conquest.
Sickening surplus and overload all around and, yet, here we are, rationing food in our supermarkets? Pardon my French, but What the Hell?
Rationing tomatoes is just a symptom of how corrupted and bent out of shape our food industry has become at the mercy of greedy corporations committed only to profit for the few at the expense of the health of the many. Let me stress, not one jot of this is the fault of farmers – those out there in a government-made maze of regulations and obstacles to the job of producing healthy food for healthy populations.
EU regulations make it legal to label as “milk” the white liquid obtained from processing almonds and oats. There are to be ground-up crickets in the bread and hundreds of other food products besides.
Industrially processed vegetables are labelled chicken, fish and mince. They make oil from sunflowers and rape seeds, process away its rancid, toxic nature, and sell it in food, and as salad dressing and as an ingredient in soap powder for getting stubborn stains out of clothes. It’s in baby food as well.
Tomatoes aren’t in season in the UK in February, as you might have noticed. Why should they be? Why aren’t we concentrating our attention on what food is in season, and local, and good for us, and teaching people how to cook it?
I travel a fair part of the length of this country every week between my home in Scotland and this studio in London. Aside from the odd moment or two of built-up area, the vast majority of the landscape is green fields. Why aren’t we making the most of the fertile land with which we are blessed instead of lofty talk of handing a third of it back to the beavers?
If food is at a premium, reaching a point where rationing might be required, why are we paying farmers to get out of the business altogether and sell off their hand to transnational corporations for God alone knows what purpose? Why are planes and ships burning fuel to transport avocados for thousands of miles around the world from places where the mass cultivation of the product causes catastrophic damage to local water supply?
What do you think is the answer to these questions? Are our leaders so inexperienced, so clueless about the practicalities of the world that they just don’t know how to run the country for the benefit of the people they’re supposed to serve?
Or are they knowingly in the service not of the people they are elected to represent but of transnational corporations, the markets and the Bank for International Settlements? Which of the two options do you think it might be?
Or is it simpler and more depressing still? Have our leaders, in fact, simply persuaded themselves that distraction is the only game they need to play?
Are we simply to be fed a diet of propaganda and downright lies about health, food, the climate, war, biology, and race … until we are so unwell, confused, exhausted and anxious we won’t notice when they pick the last penny out of our pockets and lock us down in a digital ghetto watched round the clock by cameras and listening devices we pay through the nose to carry in our own pockets? And they’re rationing tomatoes.
Here’s the thing: the world has been run off the rails. No wonder it’s all about distraction – because distraction is all they have. Greed and unrestrained power have brought us to the only destination that was ever in view. Which is right here, right now.
They won’t fix the mess because the mess suits them. I don’t have all the answers – but I do know the solution starts with ignoring any more of their nonsense. The problem is not with the tomatoes they’re rationing. The problem is the surplus of lies they keep selling. Stop buying them.
and in the USA, they wonder why we are slowing down our economy and purchasing less. FEAR is a great motivator.
We fightin the totally inexplicable inflation.
Bought a can of Ballistol last year for $13 and now it’s $17 that’s a 30% increase in a year!!!
Damn! That’s bad news. The good news is I took the 3 can deal last year.
Glad I did. That stuff is magic!
This article convinced me to try it. Further reading and actual use convinced me the stuff is worth it’s weight in gold:)

Bypass Amazon and go directly to the manufacturer.

Bubby: Prices for basic firearms-related products are being pushed through the roof on purpose. Everywhere you look, there are increasing or new constraints on supply chains related to firearms. It’s part of the plan. The ultimate consumer ends up paying more because the alternative is not buying anything–or, worse, not being “allowed” (permitted, licensed, approved, documented) to purchase anything.
Just look at ammo. There’s a new bill in the House (H.R. 584 – Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2023) to end online sales of ammo, require face-to-face purchase only, license all sellers of ammo, and require reporting of all purchases of more than 1,000 rounds of ammo within a five-day period.
Lighter fluid for my charcoal grill was $5.79 a few weeks back and TODAY it is posted at $10.49 at KROGER!
Every item I purchased at Kroger today was higher than ever before, but the lighter fluid won the contest…

Nobody wonders. Shrinking the economy is by design.
what we need is a strike against the large corporations that are funding our demise.
The two day worker strike will only hurt the workers
A strike against purchasing from these companies could last until they change
their polices against us
First we have to determine who they are and why we should not purchase from them
a) funding government officials who are trying to kill us – Pfizer, Moderna?
b) woke policies – stop the racism, lbtq, etc., pornography in schools, libraries
c) funding wars
d) any other company who harm American citizens
Sell their stock; I sold Pfizer, woke Coke (purchased Brown forman maker of
Jack Daniels, etc. instead lol) and a few others.
Sorry, I think your idea is too complicated.
These FILTHY Evil People Need a Punch in the face, not some complicated boycott that won’t ever work.
A 2 Day strike would have to be reported. Unlike our Canadian Trucker Convoy, a North American Action would show all of us how many are on our side.
Just remember how many lined the streets of England for the Queen’s Funeral. People don’t know WE ARE THE MAJORITY..
WOLVERINES!
complicated?
you must be kidding
I note all the retired people voting for a two day strike
no skin in the game
if one is supporting a family one needs their job
Regardless of what we do, it will be countered like Jan 6 was. It has to be simple.
Brazil had millions protest.
“SUBJECTS” Protest, CITIZENS Vote. Now our votes mean nothing.
It is time to adjust.
No Enemies
by Charles Mackay
You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,
You’ve never turned the wrong to right,
You’ve been a coward in the fight.
It is simple! Remove the oath breakers from public office! The Brunson Brothers submitted a case Brunson vs Alma S. Adams to do just that.
We need to hold the politicians who allow and promote unlawful actions against our best interests accountable.
Let the Supreme Court know that you know and you support the Judges to do just that.

Quo warranto!
Exactly staying home no one gets harmed. No different from calling in sick w/Covid. No one has to say I am boycotting today.
The point of a general strike….especially in the face of structural worker shortage…is that they can’t replace us.
So said Ayn Rand in her massive tome.
(that could have been edited down to about 300 pages and still be true)
daveinwyo: For me, Atlas Shrugged, was, indeed a hard slog at times, due to the turgid prose, but, that’s all part of the “charm” of the book. It beats you over the head until you get it.
There are a few movies that give you the “general” idea, but slogging through the book is worth it.
at the same time employers are desperate for workers so they will not fire anyone for a strike and if they do all the others should just quit and put them out of business .
I suspect that won’t happen
and the people who work and do this
will not receive pay for those days off
Or, will this be like the former “blue flu”
that the police used to pull?
Only government employees get paid not to show up for work.
Ask any ‘non essential’ worker sent home in a gov. shut down about the back pay checks.
…”with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor”
The founders went “all in” because they fervently believed liberty was worth some personal sacrifice. That is our dilemma nowadays. People prefer the comforts of the status quo and cannot “afford” to participate in such protests because they are cowards.
Pick a typical group, let’s say ‘colonists’. How many ‘colonists’ actually did what is inscribed within the Jefferson Memorial and forwent their comfort to battle the Crown for independence, freedom and liberty? History records how many participated. The rest?
Let’s say Treepers trend to the zealous. Instead of 2-3% going the last mile and giving the full measure of devotion, be generous, say 20%. That leaves 80% of readers who will do exactly nothing. In fact, I’ll posit that there are some readers who would seek to profit from conflict and the suffering and death of others. That’s not an indictment, rather an observation of human behavior over many decades.
Wanna find out up close and personal? Get close to death and watch the vultures whom one formerly viewed as family and friends appear, circling to peck at the corpse. That’s who and what some humans are, just as some sit back and do nothing. Expect it.
Of the Colonial population, 1/3 were Loyalists; 1/3 were neutral; and 1/3 supported the Patriots. How many actually fought? Maybe 10% of the Patriots? The Founders were a pretty small group.
In present day, we’ll need to have a 1/6 sized crowd at Congress, SCOTUS, the Capitol, and every State Legislature and Capitol too. But we have learned and won’t station ourselves where the Capitol Police can rain flash-bangs, rubber bullets, and gas canisters on us with impunity: we’ll be further back and this time we’ll be armed.
Most historians believe 3 percent of Patriots saw combat.
Exactly – where are the American Patriots? Hiding under the bed waiting for the all-clear siren? Well, we remaining patriots must do the job in their place and at least go down fighting. Such is the price of liberty. Is anyone willing to pay it?
Sure. First to water the tree is a criminal. The hundred thousandth to water the tree is a Patriot reinforcement. Lots to do in the meantime. Agriculture requires timing.
I understand your belief that old people have “no skin in the game,” but you are wrong.
Imagine you have worked hard your entire life and, after decades of fighting, clawing and saving you retire.
You are old, and you are tired. You do not have the same body you had to hang sheetrock like you did in your 30s, and that was in your spare time to try and get ahead.
You are now being threatened with having your Social Security taken away (when everything goes down everything will go down), the money YOU put into the system your entire life. You are being threatened with having your home and your land and all the things you’ve worked for taken away at the end of your life when you were supposed to be enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Old people are being blown away as though they are worthless and useless. That is something I have seen since I was a young woman, and now I am old.
But I do not live in fear; God is my Father and He owns everything everywhere, He feeds the birds of the air and cloths the lilies of the field.
Instead I am working with my old body and changing our comfortable home into a house where people can live if and when they no longer have a place to stay.
This old person, with no skin in the game, is changing her entire life of retirement-ease on the chance that one day she may be able to help others who did not prepare, who could not prepare and who did not see while they were busy raising their family.
Believe me, retired people have just as much skin in the game as anyone else, and most of them are fearful of what could happen next.
Not particularly fearful, but I agree with everything you say!
That makes two of us Rick, except that I am old.
So they take my soc. sec. My body cannot work for a day and sometimes only a couple of hours as I used to. Without income, is there welfare or am I verboten because of “wrong think”. Then I lose my house and cannot buy food. I guess I can go out with a bang.
I hope and pray that there are pockets of protection, pockets of relief, throughout the United States where people can go who have no resources — as you say you may be — when/if the crash comes.
We are setting up our place as a refuge, and, if we are robbed of all we worked for, we have friends who also have a refuge 30 miles away and we are always welcome there.
The only thing they ask is for people to work to keep their new home running. Your couple of hours a day could be put to good use, even if the only thing you do is encourage others.
I hope and pray you find such sojourners where you live, Abe.
Raven: The problem with the skin that I still have in the game is that it’s starting to sag.
Oh the glorious joys of getting closer to going Home.
Very well said. Thank you from another retiree. “I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13
More. We remember America in the 50s and 60s. People in their 40s barely remember a prosperous US.
Indeed. And we certainly know how to keep the kettle on.
CUT THE CORD.
Don’t listen to these freaks.
I’m 74 years old. We are planting 100 Guanabana seedlings in Mexico. Takes 3 years to produce fruits. My family and I will succeed at being successful farmers….Again.
Stay healthy. Stay our of American Healthcare hospitals.

Neil, Sundance, Dr. Malone, Dr. Wolf, other big influencers need to coordinate and get the word out that we all need to pick 1 corp and stop the purchases. Get the word out, perhaps with flyers and word of mouth so “they can’t find out.” Make it simple for even the dummies to participate. “Be a part of an experiment for two days.” Don’t buy any gas from x or no Walmart or something.
I like this idea!
I have been preaching for years, Walmart is the enemy. They devastate small businesses in small to medium towns. The residents of those towns flock to the Walmart to save a little cash instead of supporting their neighbors. And this was before we got ourselves into the mess we’re in now. “I can’t afford to not shop there” is not an excuse.
My last straw with Walmart was when they promised to pay all expenses for women who cross state lines to murder the unborn after Roe was overturned.
My kids call them “the evil W” and we haven’t set foot in a store since. And any time I’ve been tempted for convenience sake, my eldest quickly reminds me “they kill BABIES, Mama.”
We have to be resolved. This will never end until we stop it.
why not write to the Supreme Court in support of the Brunson vs Alma S. Adams case and have the crooked politicians who are not serving us removed?
yeah, like that will work
The Supreme Court? Surely, you jest. They are as corrupt as everyone else in the “government.”
What we need are more people reducing their dependency on these large corporations. Begin by growing as much of your own food as you possibly can while buying what you can’t grower from your local farmers. If you can afford it, invest in a woodstove and use that for heating. Solar panels, rooftop wind generals and/or biodigesters are also options for those who have the extra cash. Get rid of your cellphones and go back to using a landline. That will save money with the extra benefit of becoming harder to track. And finally, stop using credit cards. If you don’t have the cash, do without.
We don’t have decades. Are you going to call up Joey and say “Hey you, quit funding the war?”
The problem with not purchasing from companies like Coke, Pepsi, General Mills, P&G, and the rest of these huge corporations is they also manufacture numerous other products we buy— even generics. To be honest, we’ve allowed this to happen by buying from every country other than our own because it was cheap! Just walk into a Walmart, Dollar Tree, etc., you will find very few products made in the USA!
I read we must have a revolution against our government but the truth is, it will never happen because they will annihilate all of us—-remember J6! We would fall right into their agenda—they claim there’s too many people, so we must rid our planet of millions via poison shots, foods a revolution, whatever means possible.
The saddest of all is we can’t even throw these bums out of office because our elections are corrupt to the core! Our Constitution means nothing to these slugs! Again, we allowed it to happen decades ago and now it’s just too late.
Wow. Well said.
“Do you remember ever voting to give the government the power to lock us in our homes, to shut our children’s schools, our pubs and restaurants, shops and businesses, to tell us whom we could visit or have in our homes, whether we could go for a walk, travel within our own country, far less beyond these shores?”

NO! And I never voted to fund this madness! Government now costs an astounding 42% of GDP!
Well that’s the “during Covid” number. It’s around 27% now, which is still too high. It should be 23%+-.
Some think it should be 9% of GDP.
And yet what will we do when the push for the first “climate” lockdown? I sincerely hope we do not comply.
Having watched my fellow citizens eagerly discard their rights for gov’t lies, it is obvious that compliance is well ingrained into the American mindset.
There will be no escape.
We know there is a large segment of society already refusing to follow orders of the government and the media. Look at the number of unvaxed. According to NBC News and the CDC (and we know they can be trusted to give us accurate information … Right?), 55 states have between 30% to 45% with no covid vaccination at all for adults. Given the info sources it is likely the percentages of unvaxed is larger still. Now add a number of the vaxed who refused a second shot or a booster shot. There are now a very, very large number of Americans awake to the fact that their government, their large corporations, their media and their doctors lied to them and continue to lie to them.
The country is ripe for a massive work stoppage. And for those that argue they cannot afford a two- day work stoppage, that is short-sighted. The country is being driven into poverty now on a deep slope. We cannot afford not to take action.
We cannot afford not to take action.
Amen.
55 states?
35 not 55. Sorry
Given that votes are immaterial, politicians couldn’t care less about Americans’ perceptions of them.
Corporations, particularly multinationals, are far more concerned with global revenue than Americans’ perceptions.
Universities are so bent on foreign dollars that Americans mean nothing, so calling the majority white supremacists doesn’t change their economics.
Actions have to create reactions felt by the actor. Breaking that linkage has gotten us here. Let’s rebuild the linkage.
Next election we all stage a nationwide voter stoppage and refuse to vote until an honest vote taking and counting system is put in place. Shine the light on corrupt state we have fallen to and show the world.
Good idea. Even tho they do not honor our votes, they must have the illusion of voting or the scam doesn’t work. If a large number of us refuse to vote and make a lot of noise about it, they will be hard-pressed to claim any victory.
Who controls the politicians?Who controls the big corporations? The central banking system controls everything. If we could organize in large number and remove our money from the banking system, including credit cards, investments including….especially retirement…..then you/we would have control. Blackrock, Vanguard, Wall Street…..would be bust without retirement money.
Not really… the central banks print whatever they need…. “Our” money is just devalued whenever they print more (which is every single time someone takes out a mortgage loan) so pulling it out our accounts will jst encourage them to print it even faster….

CTH forgot one small detail in it’s rhetorical question of ‘why’? We have stolen elections now – They count the votes. Many us of do not live under a Red State protectorate like FL. So yes, balkanization IS the practical solution for those of us abused in Blue Sates. In fact I believe balkanization will hasten the collapse of the Blue State with it’s totalitarianism as most of it’s most productive citizens leave. We are pilgrims. This ‘Great Sorting’ and ‘extreme Republicanism’ will bring clarity for America.
Not one square inch…….visit the military cemetery of your choice and rethink letting go of one square inch.
Then you can move to Chicago or NYC or Philly. Good luck.
So we should just continue to share our country with the most base,wicked criminals history has known?
Sorry to disagree, Sundance, but “What we need is a general two-day workers strike, highlighting to the few that the many have had enough.” will not be enough. Government now costs an astounding 42% of GDP!
We need to de-fund the Federal government. We The People need to use the Convention of States process to repeal the 16th Amendment and the Federal Income Tax, because our money is being used to destroy us. Are you “represented” in the Federal government? No! Are you represented in your State government? Maybe; and that situation is capable of improvement. We need a serious proposal to stop incurring more Federal debt; to retire the existing debt; and to let States fund their own governments without “grants” from the Feds.
The Brunson Brother’s SCOTUS cases would be a miraculous and elegant way to remove the oath breakers in a law-abiding, and efficient way. It would send a message to ANY public official that they could be removed never to be in public office again for not upholding the oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

Wasn’t that case denied a second time?
Yes, the hopelessly corrupt Supreme Court refused to hear the case. Until such time that someone with nothing to lose, “loses it”, there is little to do in the courts as most judges are paid off and corrupt. The Communist dems have been working on that for decades…think Soros-bought DA’s all over the country. Most are still in office.
A two-day work stoppage would serve to awaken the general public to the need for further actions such as those you suggest.
I do not agree with the convention of states
not because I don’t think repealing these things
are not a good idea –
But, these situations are easily co opted by
the demons in government and we will end
up with other amendments, etc. that will
be more destructive.
Yes. Once they open the Constitution to reinterpretation, they can change the entire document — and we won’t have a say in the changes they make.
Not so. Two-thirds of the States still have to vote to approve Constitutional Amendments.
You are correct.
My point is, and I’m sorry I didn’t state it better, that the representation we currently have doesn’t represent us at all.
“We” will not have a say in what happens, no matter who those two-thirds are.
I thought the states limit the scope of the convention….not to go outside the issues put forth and that is voted on by all the states.
The COS would propose amendments, but 2/3 of the States still have to approve any Amendments. It’s the only way to amend the Constitution that bypasses the Federal Congress.
Exactly my own opinion as well.
There were more than 1M people in the swamp on J6. Our overlords were terrified.
Think Tahrir Square. We have 51 Tahrir Squares.
I agree. I think it was closer to two million. I overheard a couple of “guards” of some sort say that the previous protest at the Capitol had one million but the Jan 6 had many more. There were people as far as the eye could see. And the overlords were terrified even tho no one came armed – that time.
Double that & you can fill & surround the place. Stay awhile & you can stop literally everything.
Stay longer.
Yes they were. I laughed when I saw the video of the gathering around nanci in that small room in the capitol on J6. They were all scared little wabbits. Total cowards looking for mama nanci to take care of them. They were disgusting and so was nanci.
If they didn’t have the army of bullies in the capitol police to protect them, we would have nothing to fear from those cowards.
Underneath their bluster they are cowards.
Separating & then herding 100s of people into dead end canyons made beating & killing them in secret possible. Make them attempt to do their dirty deeds in the open.
Understand their tactics & you can defeat an army of bullies.
First we need to find out if any person who is wanting to run for office believes in Our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ! Yes, 3 days of all trucking will bring everyone’s attention to our governments control. Everyone needs to constantly be on the phone and in the offices of your local, state and federal elected person! Let them hear you in your locale. Run for school board and town offices. Get involved in voter ID and auditing of your election boards.
It’s simpler than that! We need to make it clear that we will not tolerate politicians who break their oaths of office. 388 of them have, and there is a case before the Supreme Court to have them removed. Support the Brunson Brothers case:
The Brunson Brother’s SCOTUS cases would be a miraculous and elegant way to remove the oath breakers in a law-abiding, and efficient way. It would send a message to ANY public official that they could be removed never to be in public office again for not upholding the oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
______________________
To paraphrase the Scotsman: We have had enough and we are not going to take it anymore.
This reminds me of the old fable called “Belling the Cat.”
Great ideas but who exactly is going to put the bell on the cat?
“And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.”
(Isaiah 6:8)
Answered many times in America’s history. The Founding Fathers, no doubt, set the example.
Reminds of President Trump. Remember all the pundits, performers, loud-mouths who ridiculed him? But he thought he could win – and he did.
Who’s John Gault?
we can all be John Galt. Take the vow, and go to church.
I suggest everyone show up for work on Monday and then heck, take the rest of the week off. Everyone remember to check on your friends and neighbors to make sure they have what they need to get by.
For many Americans now, taking off a week’s work will inhibit our ability to take care of ourselves…let alone provide for friends and neighbors.
Money is tight, the cost of everything has skyrocketed, and losing one’s job is not a good idea.
For those still inured to the game, sure. For those of us in the resistance, we know it can be done and is being done. Resist the regime at every opportunity by whatever means one has at their disposal. A movie many years ago outlined the process enabling and dichotomy between what is real and what we think is real. Are we just batteries in the machine? Seems so.
My personal motto?
Inured to what game? Resist what? Not everyone works for a greedy, globalist, woke corporation.
I like my employer, coworkers, and customers. Very conservative folks in a small farming community. I see no benefit in punishing ourselves, just to fit someone else’s idealistic agenda.
Boycotting certain companies is something I’ve done for years, but I personally have no desire to abandon my own great employer, co-workers, and customers.
Resist any human who collaborates or does the bidding of the enemy. View them for what they are. Enemies.
You may not like that, or me. That’s OK. I was beaten in the 60’s and 70’s for my resistance to the tyranny in this country. Flames on a message board are nothing compared to physical violence and death.
I closed my company, stopped manufacturing and repairing the infrastructure I’d worked on for decades and stopped paying taxes as a result. Now I use my skills to support those who are like-minded and have no problem killing or dying for the precepts the founding fathers killed and died for.
I haven’t been employed since I gave oil and gas the finger in the early 80’s, so I couldn’t give one spit about employers. Who taught me that? My workers did. I learned from the best. Life is war then you die. No one cares.
Well, I can’t relate to that at all. I wish you the best, and hope that you will in turn wish the best for those of us who don’t fit into your scenario. It’s a big country, and there are many patriotic folks whose particular circumstances just don’t seem to fit into a particular mold.
The likelihood of your employer finding a replacement is not all that hot. Nobody wants to work anymore. We can’t find anyone to take good paying jobs in our company. War hurts. War requires great sacrifice at times. We are at war.
“Nobody wants to work anymore.”
Well, I do. And I’d like to keep it that way. I’m not at war with my employer.
So this is why we will never win or unite on an idea…..it boils down to the me verses country. Until the jeopardy to the country .your employer, and customers are understood and believed, we will just go down with the ship.
Agree.
Yes, and there are many service jobs whereby people do not get
paid if they take time off
The point is PJ….We can ….at this point control what days we miss…..but in the near future they will be in control and we won’t have a job at all. The future they plan ..is for us to have nothing.
Unless you’re willing to disclose who you are, where you work, and what job you’re willing to sacrifice…your post means nothing to me.
Easy talk. Easy to try to talk others into a stupid game. No thanks.
It will probably take violence. They won’t get the message or have any fear until they know their or their families lives are in danger. I’m not “advocating” it, however it is reality. A sharp shooter or several? After about 5 they’ll begin to get the message. Random times so they are scared. Even at some point Bonhoeffer and others tried to assassinate Hitler or one of his top people.
I have thought your thoughts numerous times. There comes a time when something of relevance needs to be done so those inpower fear the wrath of the governed. Just as our founders wanted it to be. We need to get back to the founders principals.
This is our country not the globalists. The people who are the majority of our government are outright globalist prostitute who sell their soul for money NOT the people who elected them. I firmly believe most of them were not actually “elected” but selected. It’s almost time to put fear into them for serving as a “selected” and not an elected person.
We have some really good people in our government, but not enough to change the course. The selected for many years have made laws to slow the process of fixing it. The main problem now is that we’re almost at the point of no return where only one choice is left. SADLY
Fear is exactly right. Thats how they controlled us ….by fear. So how do you instill fear in them….MO….You target their leadership…..let your imagination decide how to install fear….or a committee of people who in secret meet and decide then implement. It is hard to believe there is no such a group who aren’t planning. The harms they are inflicting are too consequential.
Interesting how Brandon made it back and forth through the wild of Poland and Ukraine on a train, isn’t it? Evidently no one thought it worthwhile to Soleimani him. Any of us who’ve ridden the trains in Poland and Ukraine know the territory. It’s not rocket science. Yet, zippo. After basically admitting to whacking Nordstream.
Such a lie.
What was the purpose for telling the lie that FJB took a 10 hour train ride two-ways? I can think of a lot of smarmy answers, and maybe those are all there really are. But we know the President of the United States would never — should never — put himself in harms way like that, but brando did no problemo?
But but but…he is our fearless leader who would put his life on the front lines.
That’s funny. And probably as good of an answer as any other.
Thanks for the laugh on FJB.
I thought the sirens going off as the cozy little group walked out into the plaza was ever such a nice touch! All calm and collected.
I, for one, am disgusted with our “so called leaders”.
When do we put a target on the illegitimate people in control of the government, and begin eliminating them from holding public office?
The Brunson Brother’s SCOTUS cases would be a miraculous and elegant way to remove the oath breakers in a law-abiding, and efficient way. It would send a message to ANY public official that they could be removed never to be in public office again for not upholding the oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

How do we remove the “protections” the legislators put in place so they don’t have to do their jobs, and we the people can’t complain?
We must take control from them, remove them for not upholding their oaths of office!
Loy Brunson was on a program not long ago and he said only 60,000 people had written to the Supreme Court in support of the lawsuit? Why is that?
I wrote the Supreme Court a very courteous letter reminding them the government of the US is there for citizens, and the government in it’s current state is out of control and they do not serve us. America has been captured. We are being run by un-elected people who have illegally seized control of power and they are destroying not only our country and our lives, but those in other countries by using OUR money and OUR names to do it.
Why aren’t more people standing up and demanding those who have violated their oaths of office be removed and forever prevented from serving in public office again?
I guarantee you every one of those 60,000 letters were pitched in a trash can without being read by anyone. It will have to be something more serious than letters. JMHO.
Why…..because many people do not know of the Brunson case and don’t even know the oath they have taken.
I read the comments. A lot of smack talk. Ridiculous pious jibber. The cowboys are not coming nor is God. Until you are willing to give up home, family, wealth and life nothing will change. Crowds outside the DC jail? No. Why? Because you don’t want to be inside it. The fences erected around the capital stood there. Why? Because they will arrest you and break you. The law is used against you and all the while you uphold it.
“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.” Janis Joplin
Another astute observation by someone: Necessity is the Mother of Invention.
Exactly…..they do not play by laws or rules. Those are just for us. Thats why Trump mentioned the solution to illegitimate Biden may lie outside the Constitution. Repuks claim the Constitution was followed and Biden was inaugurated therefore he is President. But we know the Constitution and its rules for electors should not apply because the election was stolen. They make us follow the rules while they ignore them. We are going to have to go outside of the rules period if we are to beat them at there game. Does this mean we cheat more than they do? I denounced my own representatives for participating in Congress as usual. For giving weight to anything that comes out of this fake administration….They are complicit in the treason. Abbot in TX is particularly infuriating because he won’t use all means to stop illegals.
A strange, curiously intelligent and oddly prescient gentleman once told me a story about lemons and widgits and their production and our manipulation. It rang a bell with me and explained quite a lot of what I was just beginning to understand. I thought I had my eyes open at the time but that story shoved toothpicks under my eyelids.
Me too.
Mass formation. A fancy phrase for brainwashing the citizenry. The sheeple are herded. The climate and COVID hoax proves the masses are sheeple. The puppeteers point and blame everything on “climate change”…they labeled motorcycle crash deaths as “COVID”. The vast media and even the medical system is corrupted and co-conspirators with the megalomaniacs in corporations and governments…and billionaires who have nothing better to do than juggle the earth.
Anyone paying attention at the onset of the plandemic saw the medical “experts” pleading with us to not hoard N95 masks because they are the only commercially available disposable masks that can block any virus. Now, in America, the last bastions of idiotic face pampers is who? Yep, the medical establishment. Go to a doctor, specialist…whatever and they are still requiring masks. Doesn’t matter what kind, in fact they often have the virally useless paper masks dispensed for people if they dont have a mask. When the medical system cant let go of the lie, you know it’s corrupt.
Thing is, probably the reason they do it…”mass formation”. Yep, the people are so mentally programmed that many cant exist without their mask and will completely lose it if they go to a medical facility and see unmasked people. It’s easier to make the sane people conform. We will put the mask on, because we need to see the doctor and dont want to create a “scene”.
I had an Amzon review of recently purchased N95 masks (I use them for allergens like molds, pollen and some dusts from grinding metals) rejected because I dared state they are the only commercially available masks that can block viruses. The very fact we were implored to understand on all the “news” programs at the onset of the plandemic. You cant even say it out-loud now without people freaking out…you know, those people outside or in their cars…alone…wearing a cloth or paper mask…
Yes it angered me to use a mask in the doctors office. The only place I did. If not for renewal of scripts …..I refuse all request to go test for this or that. I am to the point that I believe they would falsify test in order to keep me in the medical matrix and after the money is gone, I am dead. No Thanks. I no longer believe in any of the vaccines ….keep your children away from them. But once the % of no vax increases they will do away with religious exemption. The sheep in unison will say Bah ….make them take vaccines. It is a scary world. We will have to fight without the sheep but must bring along the 40% who are the go alongs. Proof they poisoned people will be the red line for many and we have to show this world war 111 or not.
Absolutely, gulfaddict. After being in the healthcare “arena” for decades, I tell anyone who will listen to become your own healthcare advocate. Teach yourself about what ails you and find ways to fix it. Yes, there are some conditions which require medication intervention…just learn the limitations of what can and can not be done. You can even get labs done without a script in many places now.
Russian shelves full. Family upheld. Church encouraged. Protection of children. No wonder the globalists hate them!
This essay should be mandated reading from every pulpit in America. God bless this author.
Strike talk in the “afterglow” of covid shutdowns is sheer insanity. General strikes because government will NOT follow the law make no sense unless you are disarmed and have no other options. Its a self harming “violent/physical option” for those who have NO other option…
We have the option to “form the volunteer” fighters who can jail criminals and enemy in the a.m. and be home for dinner before sunset, and the shelves and gas stations stay in operation, the lights stay on…
Force is needed. Like law enFORCEment for us against “them”
FJB
Hobbes
Faucci
FBI
Mayorks
This list is long…
No strike. Do it without me. I’ll provide for me and mine and wait for you to face plant and continue to pray that “you” find the courage to fight the bad guys without harming yourself.
Armed “civil” disobedience is starting line.
No strike is needed.
Harm your enemy not yourself.
Yep….I can see them cutting off supplies of everything when they are threatened…that must be prepared for….the must have people on your side ….The Truckers.
When 10s of millions stop paying taxes simultaneously risking financial ruin and imprisonment, then and only then will the DC machine bend. It’s all about the trillions as Sundance says. Nothing more, nothing less.
Except that they get the bulk of their money from donors, not the people.
The bulk is from middle class…..Big corporations pay little
This can be done legally for a years time…….
Yes, starve the governments. But also … starve the banks … and starve the corporations. To whatever extent you can for as long as you can. Everybody’s situation will be different. It would have the maximum cumulative effect.
The Canadians were on the right track after the government actions against the trucker’s convoy and their supporters. Remember how quickly Trudeau reversed course? We can do the same except expand it to all financial marketplaces.
As is, every hour of every day we play the enemy’s game by their rules we’re buying them bombs bullets and bioweapons to kill us with. And they’re doing exactly that. Think about that every time someone screams from the rooftops sue sue sue. Think about what is actually happening; how it really works and who it enriches and whose operations it supports.
Those of scholarly comport will be the ones to change hearts and minds. I’m not one of them, rather just a grunt deplorable who helped make the country go for decades. None of this really surprises me. My only miscalculation was figuring I’d be dead before the sh*t hit the fan. Oh, well.
I’ve done everything I recommend here, personally, plus a lot more not fodder for discussion. God gave us free will. I wish others well in their choices.
I’m impressed by the comments and ideas, but where’s the leader of this revolt? Who will step forward with a simple, doable plan? I suggest it must be someone with the means, a large enough audience, and standing that the plan will be heard. Know anyone like this? Think PDJT. We cannot proceed without a single, loud voice; otherwise all of us peons are just a fart against thunder.
Is there anyone reading CTH that can get the attention of 45? Steve Bannon, Don Jr., or whomever – please.
Agree. I would love to be the leader of the revolt. Unfortunately I am an 80 year old WOMAN (but still strong) – who would follow me? Nobody. We need a MAN – a strong one. Not a lot of those still around – but I’m sure there are SOME.
Correct. Too many selfish wooses in our country right now to rely on just individual action. (See some posts above). A movement needs leadership, and leadership requires courage.
Pray for St. Michael and he will surely come in one form or another to defeat this evil.
Respected or reviled, I remember a strong woman, actually of Slavic descent, who led Israel during a difficult time in world history. She did so late in life, in her 60’s/7o’s and died when your age, 80.
I remember her because I was old enough to develop a mature curiosity about the world and an early cynicism about what we were being fed in media and society.
As long as you are alive, there are opportunities. Congratulations on your longevity and best wishes for continued health.
BTW, the woman’s name was Golda Meir.
Been saying just what you said for years here. Must have someone with a megaphone and standing …..groups must organize all over the country to meet and plan. But be aware if Trump calls for anything …it will be called insurrection and that must be planned for . They will jail him and someone else must take over. Expect anything and everything. Once started we can not back down. As Scott said above….starve them of money. The Big Central Banks are the true culprit. If people stopped using the banks thats one good thing but the ultimate thing is to take away the pension and retirement money….the lifeblood of Vanguard, Blackrock…….Turn in credit cards ….shut down accounts with all 3 credit reporting companies. Pay everything with cash if possible …walk in pay mortgage, utilities, food , gas , etc. The icing …this will cripple their digital money plans. Back to who will stand up and call for us to do it? All I hear from ALL the pundits is how we are getting screwed and to buy your 25 shelf life food. They never say where you are to get the water to boil and how to boil it. Our plan must be to hit them hard and in large number…if they shut everyones power off they piss off more people. Its either a non violent plan like this or it is to target their leadership to install fear.
Phisacly remove them from office banish them from the capital never allow them to hold public office again and remind them thay are lucky we don’t hang them
R.D.
Except that we might …. ☺
How are they going to hang millions? Would the US military grunts turn against their people or their leadership?
Stalin and Hitler knew how to “hang millions”.
“Do you remember ever voting to give the government the power to lock us in our homes, to shut our children’s schools, our pubs and restaurants, shops and businesses, to tell us whom we could visit or have in our homes, whether we could go for a walk, travel within our own country, far less beyond these shores? “
We also did NOT VOTE for the WHO (read-Globalist/CCP) to take over US livestock, any livestock you raise MAY SPREAD A VIRUS. So don’t think your backyard flock or rabbit hutch is exempt. The WHO Pandemic Accord will be legally binding without senate but Senator is fighting it.

“President Zelensky turns out once more in his freshly laundered combats.” I don’t think Zelensky has anything that is “freshly laundered” except possibly massive amounts of U.S. dollars.
They won’t fix the mess because the mess suits them. I don’t have all the answers – but I do know the solution starts with ignoring any more of their nonsense.
We have an answer. Text from back cover of George Mason’s America:
“Let us at once take friendly leave of each other.”
In her book, George Mason: Constitutionalist, Helen Hill describes the debate during the 1787 convention in terms of sectionalism, meaning that the northern states did not want to form a centralized union with the southern slaveocracy.
Hill writes,
“The sense of sectionalism became so strong that some of the members saw no solution but to organize two confederacies…on July 13 Morris stated, “Instead of attempting to blend incompatible things, let us at once take friendly leave of each other.”…on July 23 Pinckney “reminded the Convention that if the Constitution should fail to insert some security to the Southern States against an emancipation of slaves and taxes on exports, he should be bound by duty to his State to vote against their report,”
Both Morris and Pinckney were correct in their opinion that the two alien cultures should never have been rammed together under a centralized, all-powerful government.
Likewise, today two alien cultures do not co-exist in peace, and do not share common cultural or philosophical principles on the mission of the national government.
We argue that the differences are irreconcilable, and cannot be remedied by amendments or modifications to Madison’s document.
We agree with Delegate Morris that the time has come for the conservative states to take friendly leave of the Democrat Marxist states.
We argue that there is only one pathway back to freedom, and taking that path means starting over, with a new constitution, at the point in history when Mason and Jefferson wrote their respective documents, in 1776
Why? Because English farmers can’t afford to heat their greenhouses … Slava Tomato … or something

WE All must stand up and say these words! “I WILL NOT COMPLY! Then do not back down. We give the POWER, when we give in to their MADNESS. There will be sacrifice, we can do if we work together.
One big problem, though the game is totally rigged for most it’s the only game to be endured !
Sure you can make a break here or there but luck being in the clutches of a boa constrictor when concentrate freeing one area all the others grow tighter !

Yet we know the total fall is near , very near !
This post motivated me to plant a flat of Arugula and Lettuce.
A strike hurts us, which is what they want.
Go back to 50 A.D. Alexandria Egypt when the Greeks slaughtered their (and our) oppressors .
That is our model.
So are we FINALLY admitting that we’re not going to vote our way out of this mess?
P.S. We’re not going to sue our way out of this mess either. Wake me up when you finally figure that out!
Maybe it is time to throw rotten tomato’s at our rotten blotted government.
How about turning off the Tv for a week, or two, or three? Let the talking heads talk to themselves.
