Damn, that’s one helluva image.
SD,
What is structure in the background underneath the eye?
The Dark Tower(aka “Barad-Dur”)
The Dark lord Sauron residence.
The volcano 🌋 is Mt. Doom(aka”Orodruin”)
Of course you recognize the other buildings in the land of Mordor as Washington D.C. where all the other evil 😈 servants serve the wicked one
Joel, my eyes read the Dark Tower as Baraq-Dur.
Since older published works are being “woke re-edited” then you have a winning start for a contemporary “accurate re-edit”
“Baraq-Dur(aka Barry Sotero)”
Thanks 😊 GrandpaM for your input 👍 👌
^^^^^^^ And THIS is what Osama Obama had in mind for all of us, and that includes Bill 686. He and his ilk want complete control over information dissemination and content. Surprised it has taken this long.
Lord of the Rings
Thanks. Never read it. Though I’m vaguely familiar.
The TLDR would be the 9 hours of the three movies to go with the three books of LOTR.
Then there are the extended versions.
Greatest cinematic achievements in the entire history of modern film. In my top 10 with The Godfather series, Josey Wales, Jeremiah Johnson, Dances with Wolves, Gladiator, 2001, and Lonesome Dove. I’m sure I’ve left some out.
nice selection
“Are you not entertained!?”
The John Ford Cavalry trillogy ( Rio Grande, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon) with John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara
Ben Johnson, Harry Carry jr,
Henry Fonda, many more.
John Ford was a master…
The Quiet Man
You forgot the Magnificent 7. Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. Not that modern crap remake
There’s so many – I left out Good, Bad and Ugly, too. My 10lb bag is overflowing
Unforgiven ……Clint, Morgan and Gene. Possibly the three greatest actors of their generation.
Read the books first, and begin with The Hobbit.
The movies are excellent.
I would add C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy to the TLDR, for a more explicitly Christian-connected allegory than Tolkien’s masterpiece. Both works were birthed from the direct confrontation with pure Evil encountered by these gentlemen during two World Wars and the ensuing aftermaths, and were written as a paean to the Forces of Good that must from time to time be awakened and summoned to the defense of all things worldly and spiritual.

Follow up with a dash of Ayn Rand, and a sprinkle of Orwell and Huxley, and one will find a firm foundation when the winds of changes shift. Season with the Founding Fathers, and go forth fearlessly.
Well said. People used to know things….
EXCELLENT recommendations and soooo true”one will HAVE a foundation when the winds of changes shift”. The Book of Revelation lays out what we are EVENTUALLY facing, IF people do not change!
Great books by Tolkien. Very good analogy of what we are up against. I recommend reading them then seeing the 3 movies. A lot is left out of the movies but still very true to story. Peter Jackson did an unbelievable job representing the story of good versus evil. I’ve been wanting to watch again to compare to the battle at hand. It really appears to be a hopeless cause but is a testament to courage and faith and a hope that good will prevail. I believe we will prevail also and America will be saved. I think The Return of the King is where I will start!
Thanks for everyone’s comments and suggestions. I’m well read, just never cared for some of the more fantasy fairy tale style literature.
However, I’m well versed in Orwell, Huxley, Rand as some have suggested as well as Hayek, DiLorenzo, Rothbard, esoteric texts as those of the Nag Hammadi and others, Dostoevsky, Voltaire, Joyce, Ezra Pound, Quigley, Mullins, etc etc.
I do appreciate the explanation though on the Tolkien allegory. I get it now. Eye of Sauron same as another “all seeing eye” in esoteric texts dating back thousands of years. See the back of the $1 bill.
From a movie version.
The all-seeing evil eye of Sauron.
The Fellowship of the Ring is on a quest to defeat him, so all will not be turned into slaves to serve him.
See Joel’s post for explanation of things in the image.
Sauron does NOT share power is perhaps the most relevant.
History tells us if these asshats ever truly gain the upper hand, there will be endless purges and fighting between them.
Exactly 💯 💯
“…same as it ever was.”
Here are some examples off the top of my head of how to fix the Tik Tok and other foreign threats without giving the Fedgov power to censor DOMESTIC free speech:
————
Any software application or hardware useful in the conduct of 5th generation warfare as defined below which is supplied by or under the direct or indirect control of a foreign adversary is banned in the United States. A foreign adversary is any country which has defined the United States as a military adversary in its military doctrine.
Fifth-generation warfare
Fifth-generation warfare (5GW) is warfare that is conducted primarily through non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems.
Note that hardware is specified to prevent, as one example, the use of 5G (and future) Chinese hardware in our cell phone networks, a major threat described in the book “Stealth War.”
————
This one is just as important:
No politician or relative of that politician may accept monetary compensation or donations or receive any benefit which would otherwise require monetary compensation or donations from any individual, business, or corporation which in any way does business with or is in any way controlled by a foreign adversary which is defined as any country which has defined the United States as a military adversary in its military doctrine.
————
ALL of the CORRECT fixes are described in the books I list below but, of course, you will NEVER see those implemented because our government is OWNED (just not by YOU) and, daily, the CCP continues to prove the GREAT truth of the old Soviet adage about what will happen when BOUGHT governments don’t act to prevent it: “A capitalist will sell you the rope you hang him with.”
Except, in this case, capitalists will finance your rope factory and thereby drive out of business their domestic rope factories and allow you to steal rope manufacturing IP without consequences allowing you to eventually eject the foreign capitalists and replace them with domestically owned industry. Meanwhile, the capitalists will BUY the rope you hang them with and sell it to an idiotic population directly funding their own destruction.

Unrestricted Warfare: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America – translated from Chinese – November 10, 2015
by Qiao Liang (retired Major General in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force), Wang Xiangsui (retired senior Colonel in the People’s Liberation Army)
A sobering and fascinating study on war in the modern era, Unrestricted Warfare carefully explores strategies that militarily and politically disadvantaged nations might take in order to successfully attack a geopolitical super-power like the United States. American military doctrine is typically led by technology; a new class of weapon or vehicle is developed, which allows or encourages an adjustment in strategy. Military strategists Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui argue that this dynamic is a crucial weakness in the American military, and that this blind spot with regard to alternative forms warfare could be effectively exploited by enemies. Unrestricted Warfare concerns the many ways in which this might occur, and, in turn, suggests what the United States might do to defend itself.

The Hundred-Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower – 2016

Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elite Slept – 2019 [they weren’t “sleeping”; the mountains of cash to be made blocked their vision)
by Robert Spalding (retired USAF Brigadier General, B2 stealth bomber pilot, former U.S. Senior Defense Official and Defense Attaché to China and Senior Director for Strategic Planning, National Security Council)
The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America’s national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America’s economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure–and they’re winning. It’s almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese.
In Stealth War, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals China’s motives and secret attacks on the West. Chronicling how our leaders have failed to protect us over recent decades, he provides shocking evidence of some of China’s most brilliant ploys.
Spalding’s concern isn’t merely that America could lose its position on the world stage. More urgently, the Chinese Communist Party has a fundamental loathing of the legal protections America grants its people and seeks to create a world without those rights.

Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win Hardcover – 2022
by Peter Schweizer
Among the many current sellout pols detailed in the book, I learned that Kissinger eventually benefited handsomely financially from opening up to China and his portrait is the only US official found to be hung on walls of officials in China.
BTW, many of those books and others like them typically end with some words of encouragement that all is not lost even though their entire contents along with the total failure to address the problems identified by them prove that it is.
No last term of Trump or even an entire series of Trumps is going to fix that.
DITTO… all the above
Or, we could just burn the whole thing down, salt the ground, and then go out for some pitchers of beer?
But the “American” correlates – Facebook, Google, etc are sooo much worse than Tik Tok / China. We’re again being distracted by squirrels.
As VSG pointed out, it’s not China / Russia that’s the problem, it’s the “American” rulers.
They are ALL involved in 5th generation warfare against Western Judeo-Christian culture which includes our Constitution.
HOWEVER and UNFORTUNATELY, as I’ve said before, I believe that because we are surrounded by a worldwide, successfully propagandized idiocracy, most of whom have NO CLUE whatsoever about what is actually happening, our ONLY choices will be between an Iron Gloved Eastern Oligarchy or a Velvet Gloved Western Oligarchy gradually becoming more Iron Gloved.
I’ll choose the latter.
PsyWars: Fifth Generation Warfare and Sovereignty
Robert W Malone MD
https://rumble.com/v2a88bk-psywars-fifth-generation-warfare-and-sovereignty.html
No…Russia is NOT. They don’t send apps in here to destroy the morals of our children through weak parents. That is the very thing Putin is fighting against. He sees drag queen hour going on in OUR military bases right now. He has been against Western depravity for decades.
I agree.
BY FAR, the greatest foreign adversary is the CCP, but since the China/Russia axis works against us, China supplying the stolen high tech, Russia supplying its VAST untapped resources, I include Russia as an adversary.
That doesn’t mean I support the war in Ukraine. THAT is what stupidly LED to the formation of the China/Russia axis.
I look at Russia (Putin) during DJT’s presidency as more of a frenemy, at worst.
At best, if DJT was re-elected in 2020, we may have had the beginning of a Russia/USA alliance.
With FJB in the WH, Putin has no choice but to do what he is doing now.
Yes, FJB and the DS.
Indeed. All you have to do is go back and see what he’s written and spoke about over the years.
Even seemingly genuine normal people evidently can’t take the time to really think about what he says. (looking at you Plante, Bongino) And weigh that with what he actually does. He means what he says, and he says what he means. Refreshing right?
BTW, although that is what I consider to be a realistic view, IT DOES NOT MEAN that I’m just going to throw up my arms and give up.

There is nothing velvet about the Western Glove these days, Winston. They have already shucked it. I would like to think that a Mailed Fist of Righteous Patriotism might arise out of the ashes of Leviathan, to turn the Iron Gloves.
I chose neither, and reject the premise that the choice is binsary.
Do you want the catcrap sandwich, or the dog door soup?
Uh, NEITHER.
President Trump Won
Bob…from another Bob…it no longer matters that Trump won! We are engaged in a full-on battle for the survival not only of what once was our country…but for the very existence of our way of life. I am an ex-boxer, when the punches are coming hot and heavy, you have to quit thinking about the last round. Counter the upcoming punch, then attack…attack…attack! Remember the Great Rocky Balboa!
No really good fighter EVERFORGETS the last round… they continuously boil it down for evidence of weakness or indicators of openings and the analogy fails because this isn’t about “rounds” its about ownership the arena and groups of men fighting at the same time…
Utterly retarded advice to drop 2020 election steal and J6 ops when it is exactly precisely and currently and in-the-future a central cause of our difficulty and a key to how to stop the cascade of “blows”.
almost the worst advice ever to “move on” from this issue.
I concur – it is capitulation to the narrative, purely and simply. To extend the LOTR metaphor, it is to heed the counsel of Wormtongue, and sink into a stultified stupor of false virtue, leading to death.
It DOES indeed matter that Trump won. They know it, we know it, they know we know it. It matters because he will win again, if the election is held, and held in a semi legal manner. If it did not matter, they would not be trying to arrest Trump on trumped up charges over and over and over. It all matters because they are keeping us down not Trump. They are preventing us from self-rule. They do not want that truth to come out.
At some point, this gets to be too much like Hillarity whining about something that didn’t happen. If we didn’t fix it when it happened (which we didn’t), then I don’t see any good reason to be whining about it now.
This is not the same. Hillary lost. Trump won but was denied the position through trickery and conspiracy.

TLDR
You misunderstand the INTENT of the bill writers and those who will attempt to pass it. Up to us to stop it dead in its tracks. This is NOT about slapping China’s wrist over TikTok, we can simply do to TikTok what we did the Huawei (If I spelled it correctly).
Beautifully Done!!!
How about doing another one for the Domestic Enemies aiding the ChiComs?
A Lion will either eat or die.
What can be done about Warner ?
and Marco Rubio?
It’s the entire committee. It’s virtually all the senate.
They are all a part of Hail Hydra – “cut off a head and two more take its place”
Jerry Jeff Walker told us the answer….”UP AGAINST THE WALL…”
God rest his soul
“I’m 64+, and playin’ in a honkytonk, kickin’ hippie’s asses and raising Hell!”
My man, Jerry Jeff. Eat a cheeseburger, drink a six pack, take a Darvon to ease the pain.
With the RINO traitors currently in the Senate? Nothing can be done about Warner, unless public pressure of significant magnitude can be brought to bear on the Senate Minority leadership (McConnell, Thune, John Barasso, Jodi Ernst, Shelley Moore, Steve Daines). It’ll require a LOT of unrelenting, steadily-increasing public pressure to convince these stubborn RINOs.
Only if pro-Constitution. pro-MAGA Republicans take control of the Senate can traitors be exposed and removed.
If you think “voting” or elections are the key to solving this from here… well then you fail the litmus test for…
They have committed crimes.
nuff said.
HOW we go about it from here is not the same question as how do we “vote” them out. You can’t. Voting alone is not enough.
Hey, we got TWO in, two MAGA Senators, and the realisation that he might actually have MAGA Senators in HIS Senate, gave Mitch the vapors, lol.
That’s actually a big f’ing deal. We NEED a LOT more, but like 1000 RINOS at the bottom of the ocean,..
It’s a START!
Yes it’s a start. Don’t know how that number rises given the tremendous resources being put into expanding the election fraud. Hopefully more people wake up and act.
7 in the house became 20, it is contagious. They just have to know they won’t be on the ropes alone.
Just look at how many R Senators voted for McConnell as Minority Leader to know the score. The man is the least liked political leader in any party, even by his own party’s base. His wife is a CCP high-level operative. And yet more than two-dozen R Senator’s elected him their leader. That’s how many traitors to our nation there are in the GOP alone. Add in the D’s. No, politicians will not fix this. Judges will not fix this – they come from the same social and political class as the politicians and must be approved by those same politicians and know not to bite the hands that feed them, they just don the black robe of high priests guarding their temple. Corporations and academia will not fix this, they produced this. This gets fixed by We, The People. There is no one else.
BTW, its not “class” loyalty problem its a criminal/evil/immoral problem — this is the main separation for our enemy and our friends….
Morality
Lawful
Psychopathy
or corrupted into the same.
They are all bought and paid for — or blackmailed. D.C. is a den of iniquity.
Everyone send him Christmas cards on behalf of James Wolfe.
Yep, most of the R’s & D’s couldn’t care less about Americans, America, our Constitution. It is crystal clear they only care about power, money and control.
Americans must wake up and vote out everyone of these worthless politicians.
We did that last time – didn’t work. What now?
Armed mass protests demanding we return to paper ballot, in person voting on Election Day only. Absentee ballots only for proven disabilities. ID required and no early or late voting. No electronic voting or counting. And all ballots must be counted by hand within 24 hours of Election Day. In short … no way to cheat.
BeAChooser
Why is it you ALWAYS advocate for not just mass protests, but SPECIFICALLY ARMED mass protests?
We KNOW they have been relentlessly TRYING to push the narrative of MAGA as “domestic terrorist white extremists” for at least 4 years, and you think it would be a GREAT idea, to show up for protests (to what end, exactly?) and that they should be armed.
One would ALMOST think you are working for the enemy,..
First of all, dutchman, we have a God given RIGHT to carry arms. They can’t take that right away from us. You believe that, don’t you?
Second, the Founders included the 2nd Amendment for exactly this use … to oppose those who would turn our government into a dictatorship.
Third, if the protests don’t include armed people, the UNIPARTY will simply shut them down using their arms, like they did the J6 protests. This sends a message to them that this time is different.
Fourth, the presence of arms will in fact discourage government agents from infiltrating the protests and trying to start violence. Should government agents try, they would risk the violence turning into what they fear most, open insurrection, with the protests as well armed as the authorities.
Fifth, they won’t be able to call the protestors extremists if ALL they are demanding are an election process in 2024 that can’t be cheated … as I described. Who could argue against that? Do you want to?
And sixth, it’s ALMOST like YOU are working for the enemy, dutchman. After all, at every turn you encourage us to forego our RIGHT to protest and our RIGHT to carry arms. Just like the UNIPARTY.
Instead, you want us to do that which you KNOW will have no effect on the 2024 election. You want us to rely on courts, and the GOP, and media article, and sunlight, and all the other things that aren’t going to change the outcome of 2024 … not as long as the UNIPARTY can cheat.
I’ve asked you over and over and over to name ONE state that Biden won which it looks like Trump will win in 2024 … after 3 years of such *corrective* actions … and every single time you’ve run from that question. Care to explain that?
All weapons must be wielded wisely. Some are fit for sea battles, some for air, some for land and some spiritually. A rash man who too soon raises his weapon, or raises one that is not matched to the fight at hand, loses it all for all of us. There is time. We will all know when. We will not have to discuss which weapons or which moves to make, when it arrives.
There is traction to get away from electronic voting, but it will not be complete before 2024. The blue states will absolutely fight against any such change. (Good thing we have an electoral college system!)
But the worthless politicians from the BOTTOM UP because those are the ones that control the elections.
“There is traction to get away from electronic voting, but it will not be complete before 2024.”
Then all is lost. 2024 has to be an election that’s fair and honest … that we can trust … or we might as well resign ourselves to 1984. The way to make blue states change is force them too. Threaten to cut off food, water, electricity, gas, transportation, access to schools, entertainment, etc if they not make the switch in time for 2024.
“Force”
Yep.
Plan accordingly.
Yeah, that’ll work. /sarc.
TINVOWOOT, simply put. Remember the definitition on insanity.
Sure there is … if we force the next vote to be fair and honest … no cheating possible. I’m convinced that if the vote if fair, Trump will win, and this time there will be no illusions. His administrations goal will be to destroy the Deep State by whatever means necessary, with the might of the American people backing him up.
Interesting take:

I always read MM for perspective. I’ve found taking in a wide variety of information is helpful to facilitate accurate discernment. For example, he notices things – details – other people don’t/don’t mention.

It’s good to be clear.

Thank you ncxplant! I am humbled, you are too kind.
The Treehouse isn’t like other forms of social media… they’re so rushed. I just commented below about our Minute Rice mentality. Thanks to Twitter and the like, most people start losing interest after the second sentence or so.
Every time I come here, I leave with about a half dozen or so new bookmarked sites (for later reading), people to research, and new thoughts to ponder… on every subject from politics to home remedy to finance to gardening and the list goes on and on.
And you’re right… it comes from Treepers all over and throughout this awesome community.
No better compliment than from a fellow Treeper. Ty MM. You are a excellent & sincere Treeper and patriotic American yourself. I enjoy your posts as well my friend. Be well sir

Ah, that’s lovely that is.
Mike, if you are like me, then…
If you’re not saying things out loud, then no one will ever hear them. If you’re not writing things, no one will read them. Trump called for a NOISY majority not a silent one for a reason.
I think we all have to have a filter when we speak or write. Or the point we are attempting to make becomes lost. Sometimes brevity is more powerful.
This incredible meme says just that.
Overseasoning ruins the dish.
Too much noise simply makes people want to cover their ears.
Or as Shakespeare eloquently phrases it…
“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing”
Most of what goes around in my head never sees the light of day. Pick and choose carefully.
Otherwise we get word salad maker extraordinaire Kamala Harris.

Oh so true!
In my haste to try to save my family from the clot shot, I think I overwhelmed them with information and words, and they all thought I was nuts. My parents and all of my siblings have been jabbed as a result.
So now I try to measure my words as much as I can, and probably end up being too conservative with my words.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Surely there’s a sweet spot someplace… I’ve yet to find it.
This is most definitely me 😅

Always good to have a short, concise graphic that can be shared. From working on campaigns, I can attest that you have about 6 seconds of attention span to convince the undecided voters. This is why I try to compress my stuff into tiny, easy to follow graphics that I hope people will share. I do not want any credit. Please take any graphic you like. Claim it as your own.
…my 6 seconds is up.
The hitch in this is, even with fuzzy, soft ball questions, the Governor would flop. They insist he be a Bush surrogate and Bush is over.
Exactly, they are trying to remake DeSantis into the image of Jeb or George Jr Bush. It’s a bad fit. DeSantis can speak with authenticity about family and providing for hurricane victims, but the attacks on Trump spoiled the presentation. DeSantis has done some great fighting back against the biased media as well. Remember how hard they tried to massage Trump’s demeanor.
When Warner hit the morning shows saying we had to do something about Tik Tok, I knew it was a snake without hearing anything else about it.
I was immediately triggered, or alarm bells went off or whatever you want to call it.
They really have turned credibility on it’s head.
The same sources we once felt we could really on, we now feel equally confident are lieing to us.
I don’t really NEED a lot if research, if Mitch and Chuck agree, and Biden too, along with Lindsey, I don’t need to research the history of the Slavic wars going back 1000 years, to know the war in Ukraine is bullshirt, and a manipulation.
Based on Tucker’s brief analysis of the 686 Bill, it sounds like it would effectively criminalize the use of the Tor browser, or any other means of anonymizing internet access. Patriot Act 2.0 on steroids – Tyrannical.
using vpn is an essential part of corporate security. It allows travelers to safely log in and do work and communications.
Tor was devel0ped by the US Navy. The only way to make it work for them was to make it public. They then could hide their stuff in millions of transmissions through thousands of servers.
I saw your tweet today in reference to Vivek Ramaswamy but didn’t understand it and don’t recall you writing about him although I am a frequent reader of yours…and not guilty of TLDR. Did I miss it?
Thanks for your work on the subject Sundance! I’m still digesting all of it (you are right, we’ve been reduced to Minute Rice mentality) but I can see this taking place in my workplace.
I’m in the technology field and the government has been pushing collaborations and work groups based around cybersecurity (involves folk from CISA, FBI, DHS, etc) since the stolen election of 2020.
Most of us in tech are understaffed and don’t have the security postures necessary in today’s World (or so we hear)… and in they come with the answers to our prayers. They’re offering guidance and resources, mostly in the form of info and benchmarks right now.
I’m betting it’s just a matter of time before they work out a subsidized deal to have Crowdstrike or the like placed inside our networks. They already have sensors you can place in your network (ALBERT, supposedly checking for malicious traffic/activity) but I just don’t trust them.
All I know is that no one was interested when President Trump wanted to ban Tik Tok but they’re all on board now. Definitely a Trojan Horse for more control.
Thank you for your work, no one pulls the drapes back and lets the sunlight in as you do.
Is this even Constitutional? Seems to defy the 1st Amendment.
Seems to me like its official cover for stuff they’ve been doing for years.
It is that but it is also an expansion. They have been spying for decades, they have canceled people for a long time, but they have never shut them all down. Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Sundance, others have still been able to speak truth to power in sections of the internet, radio, podcasts. This would crush all of that by making it criminal and subjectively so at the whim of the tyrant in power.
The Constitution became irrelevant long ago to the Leftists/Communists.
For them, The Constitution is dead, and good riddance, for it only stands in their way to establish the totalitarian slave-state of the U.S.S.A.
Unconstitutional “laws” have been and will be passed, they have been and will be upheld in the corrupted courts, and they have been and will be used increasingly against us.
The question you need to ask yourself is:
“What will you do against them ?“
We have such a benevolent government now. They want to shift the “burden” of personal responsibilities onto those “better equipped” to know and handle such things. Things like raising your kids, careers, family affairs, health care, elder care, who “represents you” in the new world, where and how to live, how to spend your money, who to love, who to condemn and who to kill. Obviously sarcasm; FOR NOW!
There is a great story/allegory/parable about two boys and two rooms, one filled with toys the other filled with horse sh_it sometimes called; Where’s my Pony.
President Reagan used to love to tell the story. This is an updated version.
The Optimist
There was a psychologist who was studying the effects of optimism on 10-year-old boys. He wanted to find out what made one boy more optimistic than another boy.
He wasn’t having any success, so he decided to try a radical approach. He went out to find the most pessimistic 10-year-old boy he could find and the most optimistic 10-year-old boy he could find.
Once he found them, he took them to his lab where he placed the pessimistic boy in a room full of every computer game, toy, train set and other gadgets any 10-year-old boy would want to play with. He placed the optimistic boy in a room full of horse manure to see what both of these boys would do.
He came back 15 minutes later and went in the room where the pessimistic boy was being held. He was just sitting there doing nothing. He asked the lad, “What are you doing?” The boy responded, “I’m bored, I want to go home. Besides, I have most of this stuff at home and I don’t play with it either.”
He went into the room where the optimistic boy was being held and as soon as he opened the door, there was horse manure flying all over the place. He stopped the boy and asked him what he was doing.
The boy said, “with all this horse manure in here, I know there’s gotta be a pony in here somewhere!”
We have to believe we can win this struggle against evil. We are at “WAR!” It doesn’t matter what we think it’s what they think. Everything done in the last 110 +- years but in a hurried pace since Bloody George HW Bush announced his New World Order everything done has been done to diminish the USA, Gulf War I, The Rio Accords, NAFTA, revised GATT, meaning of the word “is is”, oral sex is not sex, reapeal of Glass/Steagall/ 9-11/ The War on Terror/Patriot Act/ Homeland Security/TSA/To Big to Fail/Quantitative Easing 1-3/ Fundamental Transformation/Barrycare/ Weaponization of Government and on and on. All diminished the USA.
Though like the little boy we’re covered in sh_it, we also have to believe there is a pony at the bottom. We must fight like the 3rd monkey on the ramp to the ark, shout out to Sundance if not these demons will win. In their victory is our demise and for our children and grandchildren and their children and grandchildren.
Ultra-MAGA! Everything else is a distraction.
I pray for the gift of articulation that you have Mr. StanH. You are consisantly putting in print, what I always struggle to bring to words. God Bless you and Thank you.
Thanks.
That’s an old story, but seemed where we must be, I hate it but it’s us or them.
They destroyed the American Middle Class in the last 35 years, intentionally. They didn’t miss a lick, in fact in the swamp these are high times, with one massive exception, Free America is paying attention.
Our commonality is their demise, divide & conquer is our demise, this is how they make the numbers work, in reality 50-100-1000 to 1. Like in France the dumb sh_it stops when we do.
Well done, Stan h.
I would only add “fight SMARTER, not harder”
And there is NO PLACE for emotion, in an existential fight for your existence
Emotions get you KILLED.
Thank you dutchman. This is not the time to be wasting ammunition.
Always be of good cheer with love in your heart, but with steely resolve and God as our shield.
Great post. We are still here living our best lives. We are getting a little squeezed and a little stressed but we come from a long line of survivors against worst odds than these. My dad lived through hitting the beach at Normandy under Patton, they were right behind the first group of soldiers. Later, he married my mother. Whatever it takes.
The swamp rats are playing for keeps, we must have the same resolve.
I’ve wondered what TLDR meant, but haven’t looked it up. I assumed it meant “toddler”. Thanks for giving us the toddler version!
LOL
It means: Too Long;Didn’t Read. An acronym for the Twitter generation, but at least a decade older.
TLDR. The Reader’s Digest Condensed Books of the digital age.
“Elevator pitch” works better for the same idea, without condescending.
Sometimes you need to be quick and concise, like when you’ve got 90 seconds in an elevator with an ear you need to reach.
Made me laugh hard.
They could easily fix the Tik-Tok data-harvesting by other means–but first, they’d have to give up their Chinese paychecks.
This bill doesn’t do what it claims–and does what it doesn’t claim.
To repeat myself, if they were really concerned about Chinese Spying, they’d arrest the Bidens, not censor Americans.
This is just a corrupt UNIPARTY scheme to install a Disinformation Governance Board aka; a Ministry of Truth.
Fear not, brothers and sisters. It’s all about to change. GOD’s Word:
Isaiah 41
10
Don’t panic. I’m with you.
There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.
I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.
I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.
11-13
“Count on it: Everyone who had it in for you
will end up out in the cold—
real losers.
Those who worked against you
will end up empty-handed—
nothing to show for their lives.
When you go out looking for your old adversaries
you won’t find them—
Not a trace of your old enemies,
not even a memory.
That’s right. Because I, your God,
have a firm grip on you and I’m not letting go.
I’m telling you, ‘Don’t panic.
I’m right here to help you.’
Heavenly Father, we come into agreement with You and speak the defeat of Your enemies and the Year of Triumph and Victory for Your Beloved. Thank You, Father for Your Spirit of Liberty for this nation and for the nations of the world, in Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen and Amen!
I grew up before sesame street. I can read the long version. Although sometimes I get lazy.
“Section 1(b)(3)(B)(2)(c)” is given guidance unless codified under “Section 2(f)(4) Subpart i”. They do this sheeet on purpose. I still don’t understand what Section 1 says. 🤣
Like the Covid Origins Bill.
They’re throwing their Chinese Owners under the bus in a vain effort to save their own necks, BUT THIS WAS A FULL PARTNERSHIP PROJECT OF THE DEEP STATE/CHICOM AXIS, the CHINESE-AMERICAN UNIGOVERNMENT.
No, they aren’t throwing their Chinese Owners under the bus, it doesn’t WORK that way.
However, once they have served their masters purposes, the final way the CCP can use Mitch and Joe, to serve their purposes, is BY EXPOSING THEM.
To have America openly face that their POTUS and Opposition leader are both agents of an enemy power, is a devastating blow to America, hence a benefit to the CCP.
A Civil war in America, benefits the CCP. So, it’s possible that at some point the interests of the CCP will be to throw Joe, Mitch etc under the bus, may already be happening.
I agree that the DC swamp is chock full of useful idiots who were set up to take the fall. Their failure to acknowledge this painful reality is a testament to their blind lust and insatiable greed.
The paragraph, IMHO, with the red box around it at the ‘find it here’–and where did I see that before?–, is the Papa Bush doctrine only worded differently. Basically that old ‘public private partnership’ of letting industry do what they do best…(and exploiting it), to their, whoever they may be.
Because I repost almost all of CTH postings to other social media sites, such as Gab, Truth and GETTR, I will post the shorter version as well, thank you.
I, for one, find the longer versions more comprehensive and informative. Sometimes I do read them more than once, just to make sure I absorb the content.
For those with short attention spans (I admit to being one), I keep an Excel spreadsheet of important CTH references, and I TAKE NOTES because ALL CTH content is important and I don’t want to miss out!
It helps to realize that we are receiving a Master Class from Sundance on the underpinnings and dark connections of the government that we would not otherwise know about if it weren’t for this exposure.
Thank you, Sundance. You are awesome!
In taking Sundance Econ 101 coarse, with the long article that talks about “widgets and lemons” and explains how multinational corporations exfitrate wealth out of the U.S.,…
He posted that same basic article, with updates every so often, and each time I read it and re-read it.
Each time, I only got so far, and my eyes glazed over.
But, the next time, I would get a LITTLE farther, before eye glazing.
Eventually, I “got it” so, keep plugging away, and let it soak in.
“how do you eat an elephant?”
“1 bite at a time!”
If you have not contacted your senators about S.686, now is the time.
The leftist have and are doing a much better job driving their ideology throughout all of our institutions than we conservatives.
Why can’t we get organized? First, the Republicans are divided. I think the Republican voter base is 80%+ MAGA oriented and 20% Establishment. The Republicans in congress and the RNC is just the opposite, 80%+ Establishment and 20%MAGA (if that many). I pulled these estimates out of the air, but think I’m fairly close.
I believe President Trump has it right. Either we defeat the Establishment/Ruling Class or they defeat us. Currently they are way ahead because they have the elected officials in the states and in DC.
I don’t know, but it seems that we need a national America First organization headed by true MAGA leaders. They could collect money, drive the development of state MAGA organizations to find MAGA candidates to primary Establishment RINOs.
The RNC supports the Establishment so, to me it is an obstacle to getting rid of RINOS. President Trump is busy fighting law suits, fighting RINOS and the RNC to get nominated, fighting the media to get the true America First messages out, and trying to win elections.
A national MAGA organization could help President Trump and help drive state elections to get rid of RINOs and elect MAGA candidates. If it grew in power (money) and influence in each state it might even change the minds of some RINOs in what they support and how they vote. May even move the RNC toward MAGA.
Don’t know, but the Democrats have perfected Community Organizing and they are killing us in every aspect of our society. We seem to be unorganized and on the defense and constantly fighting among ourselves as Republicans.
I had become a republican because they were not democrats. Because they were not democrats I thought that they represented me and so I voted republican. I think many of the republican base have a similar experience. I became fed up with the party when we would give them power and they would do nothing but play lip service to the base.
I have come to realize that there’s 2 republican parties, Republican Inc and Republican Base. We can not unite for the differences between the Inc and the Base is too vast. The Inc controls the organization and the mechanics. Inc’s goals are not aligned with that of the Base. The Base has the numbers but has traditionally relied upon the Inc for the organization and leadership.
Inc does not want to move the organization towards the Base’s ideals of a representative government. As Sundance says, there’s trillions at stake. Inc panders to the Base because of the numbers. In reality, we the Base have no party, no national organization, no organized leadership, very little representation and so we are always fighting an up hill reactive battle.
I totally agree! Sundance posted an article not too long ago about the RNC and DNC. They are two corporations funded by the same corporate and financial institutions. So their sponsors don’t care who wins the elections. They are going to basically going accomplish the same with slightly different strategies.
So the point I was trying to make is the base needs to organize. Trump can’t do it alone. We need a national MAGA organization that can support the base outside the RNC. They would compete for donations. The MAGA wing would get donations from the base and the RNC wing would get donations from the corporations.
I think if they could develop a substantial war chest they could impact state elections. I think hey could get thousands of base volunteers to help. But, it would need strong reliable MAGA leadership.
I don’t think we can be successful with a third party. We have to take over the Republican Party from within.
It may be too difficult and too late, but don’t know what else to do. The Establishment is in control and will stay that way. Even if Trump wins in 2024, he will have a very difficult time accomplishing his policies without congressional support and that may be like pushing a rope.
First off, we are kind of like the children in a bad marriage.
PDJT is staying with the GOP, because of the many real hurdles to starting a second party, as in A1.
The equivalent of Dad staying in a loveless marriage, because the idea of being a single custodial father is too daunting.
The RNC is ‘staying’ in the marriage, because they can not be seen, by the children, as blatantly throwing Dad out, especially when the kids love Dad, and hate mom.
At SOME point, the divorce HAS to happen (and I think it’s coming in 2024 run up).
Once the RNC denies him the nomination, he is “kicked out” and ‘free’ to start his own party, without some of the otherwise Insurmountable obstacles.
And, more of the structure may be their, than you realise.
The RNC is captured, of coarse and thru them, most of the LEADERSHIP of State Parties, but most if the people who actually do the WORK of the party, are with “Daddy Trump”, and of coarse he has the base, which like his poll#’s just keeps going up.
And we DO have many, may organisations, each working for it’s own agenda, but with a LOT of cross-talk, and even co-ordination.
KL, in AZ built, from the ground up and in record time, a complete political organisation, with a slate of candidates for almost all offices, State legislature, county positions, as well as “the Biggie’s” and it was not built by relying on the State Party, but was fighting the State party.
She and the largely volunteer staffs of these avowedly MAGA Candidates on this slate, did a remarkable job, in a short period of time.
And there were similar MAGA operations going on in NM, Colo, Nev, and many other States, with varying degrees if ballot box success, but successful in terms of organisation building.
And then there is those organisations specifically focused on election integrity, TTV, Omega, and all coordinated with Lindell.
Others, focused on PARENTAL RIGHTS.
WE are farther along than you give us credit for.
IMHO
I was very involved in the Tea Party movement. We were convinced that we could take over the Republican Party which was run by Rinos. We managed to get many “tea party candidates”elected, but in the end, it proved to be an impossible task.
There is a difference this time Margie. The Tea Party was co-opted by Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz down at the border with teddy bears. The grass roots of the Tea Party did not understand what was going on. So they were able to defang the movement. Same thing happened to the Occupy Wall Street Democrats. Nobody has co-opted Trump, he’s still there, standing up for us and for MAGA. The candidates MAGA put in office are still there and still MAGA. We keep winning hearts and minds for MAGA. They can not stop it. That’s why they keep trying to take Trump out. Truth is a powerful message. Hope is a strong motivator.
The flip side of TDLR was defined by PJ O’Rourke as a “MEGO piece” (My Eyes Glaze Over”). This means the piece is so tedious that it defies being read. Sometimes the blame lies with the author. If the writer criticizes the reader, MEGO is at work.
For your contemplation, imagine a society in 1763 and beyond who proclaimed Too Long, Didn’t Read to Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, and hundreds of other pamphleteers outlining the reasons for breaking away from England because of unjust treatment and unjust taxation.
“This is the first volume of a four-volume set that will reprint in their entirety the texts of 72 pamphlets relating to the Anglo-American controversy that were published in America in the years 1750–1776. They have been selected from the corpus of the pamphlet literature on the basis of their importance in the growth of American political and social ideas, their role in the debate with England over constitutional rights, and their literary merit. All of the best known pamphlets of the period, such as James Otis’s Rights of the British Colonies (1764), John Dickinson’s Farmer’s Letters (1768), and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense (1776) are to be included.
In addition there are lesser known ones particularly important in the development of American constitutional thought: Stephen Johnson’s Some Important Observations (1766), John Joachim Zubly’s An Humble Enquiry (1769), Ebenezer Baldwin’s An Appendix Stating the Heavy Grievances (1774), and Four Letters on Interesting Subjects (1776). There are also pamphlets illustrative of the sheer vituperation of the Revolutionary polemics, and others selected for their more elevated literary merit…”
Volume I alone of the 4-volume set has over 800 pages!
And so I ask you: how far have we fallen? Our era is supposed to have “the best educated people in History.”
Supposed to!

Notice how polite and genteel they were, back then, at least with the titles.
“Some important observations”
“An humble inquiry”.
I have often said the Declaration was the most respectful F. U. letter,ever written.
Let me guess, here is their playbook.
The UniParty would rather destroy the nation than give up any power. This is what we are up against.
Their fear is that they cannot hide the truth. They are still trying.
These laws fail against the first amendment. It’s time for SCOTUS to stop this.
It’s too late on covid/Ukraine, the people know. But, they could cripple Trump’s candidacy if he has no platform to run his election on.
Outdid yourself with that pic, Sundance.
The Tik-tok debate reminds me of the whole rush to create the DHS and push through the Patriot Act in response to 9/11! Every single time the gubmint tells us that they need to curtail free speech in order to “protect” us, somehow we end up with LESS rights and MORE restrictions on our personal freedoms…but it’s okay because it’s for our own good, right?
/sarc
That ploy – “We need to restrict your rights in order to protect those rights” – has been used since Greco-Roman times.
Instead of “wokeness,” America needs a real Awakening to the destruction of their country.
Of course, the sad thing is: too many of our own citizens will absolutely applaud the destruction of our (supposedly) “racist, sexist, bigoted, etc. etc. etc.” land of the free and home of the brave.
They want a Land of the Freak and Home of the Slave!
There are not nearly as many as we are manipulated into thinking there are.
Put it this way,..10-15 years ago, most here were sheeple, thought GW BUSH was a good guy, for instance.
(Several have just recently posted, saying that’s what they thought.
Now, the # of “regular folks” that are still asleep is pretty small.
There are actual signs, that the manipulated sheeple that we think of as “on the left” are just starting to awaken from their slumber, just starting to take their first red pill, just starting to “see the strings”.
WE did not instantly go from “love Bush” to “love Trump” with all that entails, instantly.
It’s a PROCESS, of working through layers of denial, built up over many years, which like a building, comes down much quicker than it went up.
THEY are starting to lose their “useful idiots”, just in the early stages, and that’s got to terrify them.
I certainly hope your assessment is correct!
Our opponents will stop at nothing, which gives them an advantage, in their attempts to stay in power.
So we must invent methods of dealing with such relentless immorality.
THAT and Trump’s MAGA army prepping for the next election.
Same game plan.
Good compilation of the Facts on the ‘Restrict Act’, Sundance. TY! Will come in handy for handing out.
As the Courts seem to be the best option available in fighting the jab mandates, this may have to be the option in dealing with this weapon of the enemy.
Arkansas sues TikTok, Meta for ‘pushing addictive platforms’
https://justthenews.com/government/state-houses/arkansas-sues-tiktok-meta-pushing-addictive-platforms
So, is there going to be a VPN black Market? Maybe SkyNet is the answer.
Thank you, Sundance, for the short form.
However, what we need desperately is a short form of President Trump’s platform, Agenda 47.
Yes, he is rolling it out in speeches, but its dissemination is those 1-2 million people who really pay attention. And we need it to get to 330 million people in a form that they can see and think about.
Go ahead, somebody.
Crowd source it even.
He has been rolling out one new policy initiative, every so often for some time now.
I think maybe when he first called for death penalty for drug/human trafficers?
And most recent was the education refirm, that included parents voting for principles?
I expect transcripts of his speeches are available, and certainly videos.
I’ve said for years — the CCP is – Western Made. China is the Model Home for what the Western-led Global Elites want to do to everyone on Earth…
John Bowne of InfoWars who does some of its great short video Deep Dives on issues made a rare online appearance to shout the alarm about this ——– codification of Fascism.
It seems to aim to —– wipe out the Bottleneck of Information Flows they do not currently control + criminalize the Average User of such Unauthorized / soon-to-be Illegal sources of info.
If they Criminalize outlets like InfoWars + Tucker Carlson + FoxNews — sites like Conservative Treehouse + tens of millions of Rumble or Youtube Channels will —– cease to exist.
The Average Citizen can’t dig into the Research Material if that material is deemed Criminal + the full force of the Police State is sent out to quash those who seek it out.
So if you get info from a non-Approved / “Legal” source + “amplify” it by criticizing the 2020 Election or the Russo-Ukraine War or the Vaccines or other Taboo / Illegal Topic —— they can throw you in Prison.
—- 2025 is the next key year to watch for. The year that has come up enough times in a variety of ways to make a mental note about.
2030 has been publicly proclaimed pivotal date.
It does seem we are will within —- the Quickening…
—- And why wouldn’t they feel great in pushing it forward:
— They murdered millions + millions of people around the world with a Bioweapon + a 2nd Bioweapon they defined as a Vaccine + unnecessary lockdowns.
They are well along in the process of — murdering millions via a Manufactured Famine in the 3rd World by attacking Food Production in places like the Netherlands.
…….and nobody has done more than lift a pinky finger to express real opposition to it……………
I know many who are guilty of that ,..That why when they speak I know they are not well informed….
If your one of those people who get their news from MSM TV news services AP Reuters Bloomberg you are one of the 75 % who cant think for themselves and I am not interested in have any debate. With you or people like you .. So F** k off.
Watching the members of Congress grill the TikTok guy — I keep thinking, “What happened to Parenting?”
That was rendered moot some decades ago, except for people that still considered several thousands of years of history as a good foundation for raising kids.
The restrict act needs to be defeated. This is not about tik tok.
Jesse Watters is covering it on his show today under the banner “Patriot Act on Steroids”
Mordor on the Potomac
Sundance, I hope you find and post Jesse interviewing Lindsey Graham tonight, about the RESTRICT Act.
Graham lied, dissembled, twisted, and deflected every question Jesse had for him. Graham showed himself to be a snake. You could also see in Jesse’s eyes, that he can see it too.
Graham kept deflecting back to “but China”.
This isn’t about China, and Jesse knows it, and Graham knows we know it. You could smell his fear.
The New World Order/ Great RESET must be hitting home for some of the FAUX news pundits. Could they finally be seeing the handwriting on the wall and speaking TRUTH?
Nah.. ‘controlled’ opposition is far more likely. But if it wakes up a few more normies then have at it. Maybe it’s considered a loss lead.
Just don’t let your guard down when they all start shilling in unison for DeSoros.
Thesis – Anti-Thesis – Final Solution
People need to read Antony C Sutton’s work on how Western Elites were key in the establishment of both Nazism + Communism + nurtured it beyond WW2.
The track record of making China into what it is today is clear.
The idea that this TikTok Bill is aimed at —- countering an “Enemy” is — beyond ridiculous — but we have fallen for it for so many decades, why wouldn’t they do it again…?
The Chinese Military + Intel Agencies are the enemy of the Average American —- but NOT the Elites.
We are not facing a National Enemy.
We are facing a category of people with massive wealth + influence who own the governments on both sides.
Bill Gates + Gen Milley are saying out of one of the mouths on Janus’ heads that — China becoming a Global Power with a capability of Military Power Projection is — a great thing.
Out of the mouth on the other head we have these members of Congress grandstanding against TikTok telling us they are — combatting the China Threat — by making it Legal + Lawful to —- imprison any of us at will for our Speech + the Speech we want to listen to…..
The double-headed eagle first originated in the mighty Sumerian city of Lagash in 3800 BC and was the symbol for the god of Lagash, Ninurta son of Enlil. From cylinders taken from the ruins of this ancient city, the double-headed eagle seems to have been known to the kings of the time as the Storm Bird. The story recorded on these cuneiform cylinders clearly proves that the double-headed eagle of Lagash is the oldest royal crest in the world.
I am having trouble finding the long version. Please direct me.
I would like to read the long version but do not see it here. I only see the Thread Reader.
TL, DR sums up the Theety Weety can’t read nuffin too detailed beyond 3rd grade or high skool edumencation aka college bs
Not to worry, SpectreDC is sure to be defeated by the GOP’s many Strongly Worded Letters.
There’s nothing SprectreDC fears, loathes, and collapses in the face of than Strongly Worded Letters.
In fact, Fauci, Biden, Wray, Hobbs, Clinton, Obama et al are already trembling in their jackboots at all the Strongly Worded Letters soon to emerge from Congress after all these “hearings” and “investigations” and “exposés”.
You’d almost think replacing the Rule of Law with Strongly Worded Letters wasn’t the GOP’s greatest tactical innovation…?
“Too long, didn’t read.” I’ve seen that before. When I cancelled my subscription to the Atlanta Journal Constitution (decades ago), I told them that I’d had enough of their liberal propaganda. The response was: “if they articles are too long we provide a highlights section that summarizes the news of the day”. Apparently the majority of their subscribers have the attention span of a knat and can’t read more than 3 paragraphs at a time. It’s insulting and a sad commentary on us when everything has to be in 2 minute sound bites.
I enjoy the long articles as they provide a full explanation of the author’s point.
