I was once asked by journalist Lee Smith to stand back, look at the total landscape, give my honest evaluation of the state of things, while defining the largest problem. My answer was immediate and deliberate….
We are living in an era of “Great Pretending.” That’s it. That’s the #1 issue that creates the angst, anxiety and suffering we all encounter. Perhaps a self-defense mechanism, but certainly, a psychological need to pretend things are something other than what they truly are. It’s everywhere, all around us, and it is almost painful to be one of the people amid the chaos who refuses to pretend.
Long after we are gone there will be people, perhaps not yet born, who will look upon this era and define it as this mysterious time when billions of people found it easier to pretend than face the reality of the precipice. It has been said that “ignorance is bliss,” but this is not that. This state of pretending is something far more insidious, far more dangerous, and yet acceptance of this pretending reality provides the stable non-pretending psyche with enhanced predictive insight for what comes next.
You might say those paragraphs sound awfully esoteric in value, somewhat difficult to fully contextualize without a solid frame of reference or example. Well, here’s an example of intentional pretending via CBS today. Catherine Herridge (EoS) knows the truth of the thing, yet she cannot share the truth of the thing; so, she pretends not to know the truth of the thing while softly bumping up against the acceptable pretending of the thing. Just watch the first 2 minutes and you will see it. WATCH:
As the pretending outline existed before, David Weiss could go anywhere he wanted to investigate and prosecute the Biden issue. A least that was the story from the Dept of Justice and even Weiss himself. Yet, for some rather mysterious reason, Weiss needed to ask for special counsel status. It’s all just an exhibition in parseltongue and pretending.
The DOJ is trying to protect the Biden family while simultaneously prosecuting their political opposition, Donald Trump. Toward that end, the special prosecutor against Trump asked for, and received, a secret court order for data from the Twitter account of Trump; their justification, Trump was a flight risk. Now think about that.
A secret, under seal, court order authorized under the justification of President Trump being a flight risk. The most famous man in the world, a man known by everyone on the entire planet earth, a walking human GPS system who literally has armed guards of the U.S. government following him around every day and documenting his every move, is considered a “flight risk”?
What level of pretending is needed to make that judicial justification seem rational? I digress.
As long as the era of great pretending remains the easiest psychological condition to survive the abuse, there will be no shift for people to look at their core beliefs and the fabricated world around them.
The challenge is getting those who understand the big picture dynamics to stop being comfortable and sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”. Most people are still clinging to beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to national leadership writ large. We need to change that thinking quickly – or we will be left explaining ‘what happened’ far too late.
There is also a major issue with conservative “ushers” guiding the audience into a state of tactical numbness. A willful blindness within part of the American electorate, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unconstititional actions we are seeing on a daily basis.
It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of, “I can’t see what’s happening”, because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate. “I can’t see it”, just doesn’t cut it.
It’s more along the lines of, “I see what’s happening, but it’s scary and complicated and confusing, and if I admit that I see it, I will become responsible in a way that I am not if I keep pretending; I can’t see it or hear it, or maybe I don’t understand it.”
Why don’t we dare say what is so? Are we a bit afraid that if we give up the willful blindness we will perhaps start screaming and not be able to stop? Do we think we have so little courage? Do we really believe that we have no resources to bring to the battle – or nothing more to contribute to the turning of the battle?
If we stop pretending, we unite as a country, because we all start to accept the same baselines. The fraud, that has been purposefully deployed as a tool for fundamental change, can only exist if people pretend that fraud and corruption does not exist. Stop pretending, and the sunlight of commonality begins to unite our nation.
Believe me, and think about this with great serious reflection, the systems that are destroying us rely upon our continued pretending.
If you want to be a person of great influence in this current era, stop pretending. Start living, speaking, challenging and being direct and brutally honest when you encounter the need for pretending. Stop participating in the pretense, and you will see the natural outcome of a loving God elevate you.
We have the tools, resources and opportunity to speak with great resonance and clarity.
Speak truth!
Speak it loudly!
Speak it with resonance, clarity and great deliberateness.
This is what they fear.
Truth is a weapon against pretending.
Use it!
Watch what happens!
Herridge oddly winks at some points and I find that unsettling. Robert has an odd tight lipped look. When asked his questions he pours it out so very smooth. Sunday news talk shows are unbelievably orchestrated.
He stiffly looks at Herridge at some points, why. It’s a get Trump competition and all are losing.
Is it real or is it superbly practiced.
Sundance you’re spot on again, it’s the phycological things that matter:
“It is becoming more and more obvious that it is not starvation, it is not microbes, it is not cancer, but man himself who is his greatest danger: because he has no adequate protection against psychic epidemics, which are infinitely more devastating in their effect than the greatest natural catastrophes.”
– C. G. Jung, “Modern Man In Search Of A Soul”
I would also submit what steroids are to a bodybuilder, “modern monetary theory” is to a society that’s Pretending.
You’d be Pretending too if you were going to hell.
Sundance, as a Catholic, I am sure you are familiar with the spiritual warfare tactics of diabolical disorientation and diabolical influence. One only needs to look around at the world to see the forces of evil employing these tactics on a large scale against the spiritually-weakened masses in every facet of life and the culture. Humans are now so sinful that they revel in their sins and are rewarded by a further clouding of the intellect and blackening of the soul. The four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance (willful murder, sodomy, defrauding the worker of his wage, and oppression of the poor) are ubiquitous. Women choose leaders who will let them violate the natural law and think it good to sacrifice their own children on the altar of convenience. The culture promotes and amplifies greed, lust, pride, envy, sloth, gluttony and wrath. All the vice and corruption are out in the open and no one cares. This is a time of great chastisement for mankind for clearly and forcefully choosing the world, the flesh, and the devil over Almighty God. Things will accelerate and they will get worse. Pray, fast, and do penance like your soul depends on it.
In the movie Nefarious, the convict speaks of how he invited the demon to enter, not all at once but gradually. In the book of Romans (1), we are told that men knowingly exchanged the truth for a lie, and what then follows.
r their own bodies among themselves. 25- Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen [Romans 1:25]
26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. 27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. 28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, 30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
[26] “God delivered them up”: Not by being author of their sins, but by withdrawing his grace, and so permitting them, in punishment of their pride, to fall into those shameful sins.
31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. 32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
When so many people have convinced themselves that their lies are truth, it cannot be chalked up to mass psychosis. For to do so would indeed be madness.
Amen.
Beautifully stated, and spot on. Thank you for your honesty and clarity.
A bit broad, “women choose leaders”…..
Some broads choose leaders who advocate for “women’s health.” -better?
It’s a Jung man’s game.
LOL. Good one, Gipper!
The rapid blinking is indicative of deception. It could be lies or omission. But fast blinking by people when asked questions, along with fidgeting, watch her whole body….indicates deception. Easier to read in person though.
Maybe she is blinking a plea for help in morse code, like “SOS”, or “torture” or “reporting under duress” or similar?
She’s had many, many years of practice……..
Propaganda.
It’s her fake eyelashes that make her blinking noticeable. What did Sundance call her…the elf?
The elf on the shelf.
Just listen to Hunter Biden’s lawyers. They are claiming there will be no new addition charges. If so, why does David Weiss need to be a Special Counsel.
To prevent sunlights from reaching the darkness.
So that he can have the case tried outside of the jurisdiction of the current Judge, probably in California.
Pay bump
Bingo, we have a winner collect your prize!!!🤔
The child sex charges, that were committed in Delaware, should have never been rolled up in the Fed so-called charges. Apparently the “authorities” in Delaware (all States really) are cowards. They needed to tell the Feds to go pound sand, arrest his azz, and tell the Feds when he got done serving his time in Delaware, they could have their whack at him. The Feds wreak havoc, and not in a good way, with everything they touch…dontcha know they’re gods. Makes me want to puke.
They are probably in on it as well, so it gets covered up. See The Franklin Cover up.
The abduction and raping of children has been going on a long time, and for local sheriffs and officers to stay silent is sickening, along with the prosecutors and judges. It wasn’t their child or grandchild; so they could care less. There’s a special place for these people when judgment day comes
Weiss doesn’t, Joe Biden does.
Because he’s on the take, and we know we have a fraudulent government.
Absolutely dead on the bullseye, fearless leaders.
The Great Pretending, is astute observation.
The left Deep State operates off of false constructs in multiple areas to create emotion and fear. Global warming is one of their tools. Selected racism is another.
If PDJT can overcome the coming fraud, that only MAGA patriots point out, and the deep state Repubs ignore, he will be ready to restructure society and government by transforming it root, trunk, and branch.
Not confident he will get anything accomplished with ballot harvesting, but if he sets up an anti fraud approach, he could overcome the civil disenfranchisement evil.
Let’s see what Mike Lindell has come up with this week in the fraud area.
Take a hammer or use an EMP to take out ALL of the “smart”phones and tablets. I am surprised every day that China hasn’t already deployed an EMP weapon. Leaving them all functional is probably the weapon they’re using.
Never, never interrupt your enemy when they’re destroying themselves. Why would any nation interrupt the self imposed destruction of America? No enemy could do any more damage to the US than the US is doing to itself.
China did deploy an EMP of sorts back in 2008.
Who is “the Cartel”?
It used to be called “The Cabal.”
This is cartel-cabal-Tammany Hall-Al Capone-the Rothschilds & Satan described by a woman who has had it:

Pretending in a recent popular printed version goes back to Hans Christian Anderson and the Emperors New Clothes in 1837. And looking it up there are historical variations with similar themes to 1200s and 1300s. And I’m sure way before that. Greek mythology, Icarus flying too close to the sun pretending to be a bird.
I always think of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” when Sundance talks about this mass pretending.
Which reminds me that, once the little boy said, “but he’s naked” everyone else admitted it! Moral of the story: Speak up!
pretending is based on the level of comfort you have at home.
no relatives that died in a nursing home
high paying job
etc..
And no one willing to speak up in absence of discomfort.
I don’t spare my family so they have to deal with me saying things every day. And I don’t care that sometimes they get annoyed. I tell them they are only annoyed because truth makes them uncomfortable. interestingly, it’s my youngest, 20 now, who always backs me up.
Yea, we resort to aruging with our own families, and cuasing splits.
some families are blessed and never encounter this odd split in families over propaganda versus propaganda
Luckily no splits in my walls….they get annoyed but over the years the things I say come true, so my immediate family (Wife/kids) listens albeit sometimes they get annoyed. I have flipped my dad from union steel mill Democrat to a Libertarian. I have my hippie step mom doubting the liberals (she still hates Trump but doubts her own party now). I have my Uber liberal MIL doubting her long time political beliefs.
Where this goes…only time tells. But, like many here, I am not worried about the ramifications because the future of my country is more important for my kids and my name sake.
Maybe you are right. with the family and friends is a valuable place to start
Families are forgiving most of the time…….most of the time. We care about family. Good practice for those timid when it comes to confronting pretenders outside those we love.
Good parenting, Paul!
Spot on the money..when “they” feel the heat they will engage..maybe.. 🙏🙏
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Exactly, cheering. The “con” of the tailors could have continued indefinetly, with them “making clothes” for all of the courtiers, after they finished “making clothes” for the King, if not for the lone voice of the child, speaking the Truth.
THAT is true power.
The Great Pretending is a result of policies of inclusivity, diversity, and whatever it takes to be a racial melting pot, IOW, “can’t we all just get along”; and the Media is responsibility for much of TGP; the Media is the group who pushes elected officials to make many of the policies they do; but, that doesn’t absolve our political leaders.
Pretending the U.S. Govt. wants to prevent illicit drugs, lol.
Within literally MONTHS of the U.S. Givt. ‘withdrawal’ from Afganistan the Taliban, who are indisputable CONTROL of the country, have all but eradicated Opium production throughout the country, and largely replaced it with WHEAT, which will position them well given current conditions with Ukraine.
U.S. soldiers were told to leave the poppie fields in Afganistan alone, that it was an “intractable, insoluble problem”,..U.S. is called “The Great Satan” by the Taliban,…hmmm WHO is pretending, and WHO has it exactly right?
All while U.S. intelligence labeled this Taliban who wanted to eradicate the poppie fields as the enemy. Well, we were teh intruders. But then, those Uniparty decisions makers creating the issues in Afghanistan are the same decision makers permitting millions of illegals to flood our country and let criminals run rampant our our streets.
All by design. And many around us cover their eyes and mouth, while pushing ear-buds deep so they only hear what they want to hear.
Just rename fentanyl as iveremectin and they can stop it….
Overnight even.
Is today the two year anniversary of the start of Biden’s withdraw debacle from Afghanistan?
State Dept after action report incorrectly blamed policies of both Biden and Trump. Trump quickly and effectively handled every crisis thrown his way during his 4 years (excluding Covid which was not a typical crisis but an intentional Deep State/Globalist sabotage). I have no doubt our withdraw from Afghanistan under Trump would have been smooth with zero US military casualties. Biden and his handlers caused the death of 13 US servicemen.
The Great Pretending is part of The Great Deception.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1:18-32 NASB1995
Thanks Joy,
God has bad news for the pretenders.
His wrath is revealed against those that Suppress The Truth;
they know that He is Righteous and Holy because He revealed that and His Will to them since the Beginning when He Created Everything;
and they therefore are Without EXCUSE when He sits for Judgment, now and in the future.
It’s as if Our Founders Understood and Knew His Will: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident…”
Outstandingly accurate depiction of America today, especially D.C. and the Communists who overthrew America 3 November 2020.
“Pretending” or is it in some cases unsuspectingly following the PsyOps manipulated Overton Window?
Dr. Malone discusses it in one of his lectures:
“The Overton Window, the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time is known as the window of discourse.
Fifth generation information, warfare methods seek to actively manipulate the Overton Window to constrain what we are allowed to talk about.”
I am not totally convinced that Malone has American interests at heart or at his core.
Thanks Hopinow,
Noted.
Pretending runs headlong into reality.
Well, you asked for it: What level of pretending is needed to make that judicial justification seem rational? The message has already been made clear.
The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21 From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,[1] fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
the media and the politicians are the great pretenders
and the sheeple fall right in line
however, more and more are getting out of that line
as they determine what is going on by reading
blogs such as this one
Anybody here from New York City?
New Yorkers love to complain..
But we need people to stop talking, and start doing.
I started a blog focusing on New York City,
where the intention is not just to talk about the problems facing New York,
but to propose solutions,
and to solicit people to run as candidates for City council.
This year, all 51 City Council seats are up for grabs. It is about 95% Democrat now, but the time is ripe for sweeping change. Conservatives could win several seats, if they ran. Why not you?
We can vote our way out of this..
but not by voting for politicians.
If we become the candidates, and vote for ourselves,
then we can win.
yuugely
We’re looking for candidates like you, in NYC;
The entire City Council is up for grabs in three months.
Time is short, but there’s still enough time to gather signatures, get on the ballot, campaign. we have some infrastructure in place.
There are hundreds of thousands of MAGA supporters in NYC, they tell me furtively that they support Trump. Time for the scared majority to come out into the open.
“NewYorkBitchfest.substack.com/archive”
“New Yorkers are tired of the mismanagement that leaves our city filthy, with broken sidewalks, pot-holed streets, flooded subways; overrun with graffiti, rats, garbage swirling in the wind; the mismanagement that led to the deaths of the elderly in nursing homes; the wasteful spending on useless infrastructure and pet projects, while our houses and businesses crumble.
For the past 50-60 years, New York City has been ruled/managed by a single monolithic political regime, which may have had noble aspirations, but has lost their way; they have imposed laws and regulations which are slowly destroying the city, and subjugating the people with repressive policies. They have mismanaged the wealth and resources they inherited….”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/first-public-appearance-since-going-viral-rich-men/
Remember Tina Forte who ran for congress? Wonder if she’s interested.
For the potential city council candidate, information you must know.
Here is only a small sample of which you may or may not know about New York City voter registration rolls discovered by New York Citizens Audit:
There are 762,051 registrations in the five boroughs dated January 1st—a federal holiday. No adequate explanation for this has been given. https://auditny.com to learn more. The entire New York State voter data base is catastrophically compromised.
Just pretend we don’t know that.
To quote the Great POGO….”We have met the Enemy and He is US”
So true. Most just need a mirror.
When it comes right down to it, most are simply cave dwellers and want to believe they know what the shadows are outside the cave. They won’t listen to the person at the edge of the cave telling them they are not seeing things correctly.
Also, most enjoy being trapped in the cave even though they have the keys to the shackles and are free to leave at any time.
Changing their minds is a tough sell.
Modern Americans lack the will of Concord and Lexington.
Or Pearl Harbor, for that matter.
“Give me my NFL, politics as usual, and beer, please! I’m a free man!”
SPIT!
A high percentage of this population latch on to this “great pretending”. I have many family members. It is a self defense mechanism to avoid the discussion of things that smell rotten. I see the Biden things as a distraction; no different than ballons flying over America, UFOs, etc…..a squirrel…. while the great pretenders refuse to engage in discussion on UN Agenda 2021/2030, the Great Reset/Build Back Better, WEF/WHO horrifying statements and subsequent actions. Covid 19 and the injections were one big lie after another that are slowly being exposed, but they were the first salvo in Agenda 2030 against humanity. When the great pretenders realize that choosing to ignore all of the lies and inconsistencies and agendas that have maimed or killed family members…they will be horrified. For many, like in my family, pretending Covid never happened and things are normal is the comfortable path to take. Every 50 to 75 years mankind sees pure evil (Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc.)….we are on the precipice right now of the worst evil to visit humanity in history. Herridge knows she is spewing lies….but she gets paid to do that as hard as it seems. She isn’t pretending….she is comforting people that are falling for the great pretending and getting paid for it.
The Great Pretending-
US Trained African Military Led ELEVEN COUPS against their democratic elected governments since 2008.
Matt Gaetz disassembled Affirmative Action US General on why US taxpayers are spending $$$ to train African Military to overthrow their own governments.
About 10 minutes and hilarious!
It’s those “core values “😂
and “curriculum “……
🤡
Incredible isn’t it, 4GB?
Herridge keeps bumping up against the truth and it seems to be very uncomfortable!!! Costa on the other hand opens his mouth and it resembles a conveyor belt of DUNG being dumped and applied to the soil prior to planting!!! 😝
The devil and his scheming. He has taken pretending to it’s most destructive level.
News Media are nothing but daily and weekly soap operas being played out for those who have not discovered true and alternative news.
They all are actors and actresses who get all made up by the make-up artists, learn their lines and then go into script with one another.
They need to start having Oscars and Golden Globes to award those who “APPEAR” to be the most legitimate to the sleeping, trance-like audience.
Just say When!!!
Until then Sundance I’ll continue living my best life.
God Wins! and oh by the way that means SO DO I!
Until the dirt naps commence I believe I’ll just keep on livin…
🙌🏼❤️🇺🇸❤️🙌🏼
I completely agree that many of us are more comfortable “pretending” than understanding we are looking down the barrel of a tyrannical shotgun aimed at our faces. So – when we’re told to “stop pretending” and speak truth, I understand that. I see in my part of America a great many people unafraid to speak the truth: the large number of people in my neighborhood flying the American flag every day, the number of boats and vehicles flying the same flag and the Trump 2024 flag and unkind sayings about the imposter occupying the White House.
But other than that daily display of “This is THE Truth” every day, how are we supposed to conduct “un-pretending”? What deliberately unsaid things must I give to that question, because we all know the answers are as old as tyranny itself. I agree that we presently stand idly, until the mere option of idly standing may be removed by people taking us prisoner, but what other than the unsaid are we supposed to do RIGHT NOW, without giving in to the purposeful provocations which occur daily? We are loud, we are outspoken as much as our daily lives filled with work, kids, and life allow. We all want to preserve our free nation, but declaring much more in provocation is like standing upright in trench warfare. Not cowardice – strategy.
I like this, Mike. Because one of the things we see often is “WE” did this and that “WE” need to ask forgiveness, and I think there’s a definite split in this country– just like you say, a lot of us feel like “we all want to preserve our free nation” — and are doing all we can to do so — and do not need to pile guilt on top of everything else we’re feeling right now. It’s not US — it’s those who have taken over, joined by those who are too lazy or feel too entitled to pay attention to what is really happening…
So– yeah, agree with every word and all the feelings described.
P.S. Meaning — that of course, I agree with the “we” that we all use to describe ourselves as “Americans” in general; it’s just when it’s paired with the topic of needing to be forgiven for all the wrong we have done that it gets a bit too close to the leftists and their “America is always wrong” theme….
Maggie Brennan = Tokyo Rose of New York City
Brennan’s face always has the appearance of a woman who was up all night doing lines. With multiple partners.
So much pretending is going on. Men pretending to be women. Women pretending to be men. Pretending that there are dozens of genders. Pretending that we have honest elections. On our side, we even pretend that there are two parties. It never ends. It all makes me very tired and angry. Sundance, you are spot on as usual.
The GOP Eunuchs by pretending to be stonwalled in their investigation gave the corrupt democrats time to potentially evade or delay Sunlight on the crime of the century.
The hero here, is the Judge in Delaware. She exposed the cover up which should lead to criminal charges to Weiss, Garland, Monaco, et al. So there you have it, the prosecutors should be the subjects of the investigations.
By not starting an Impeachment inquiry months ago they let President Trump hang out to dry.
The Eunuchs keep pretending and the clock keeps ticking on Trump and the fate of our nation.
When a red flag moves from the right of a post to directly under the commenters name does that mean someone has flagged the post?
If so, we must be right over the target because a large percentage of the posts are flagged? I’ve never seen this before.
MSM has become nothing but attractive “actors”, following a script of conversation, created for them by “analysts”, all paid for by a billionaire, with a vested interest in corrupt politics to gain them financial gain.
Their “reporting” is endless talk about nonsense detail that may or may not contain fact, reason or consequences.
OBFUSCATION!
Just a couple of thots. First, thank our Central Bankers and a fiat money system for perpetuating the myth of prosperity. We have long since diverged from the concept of moral hazard. Our perceived wealth and our consciences are disconnected to the point we are now in a state of maximum self-delusion, especially when wedded to our rejection of a Creator God. Second, there is a scriptural principle: law cannot give life. It can only show us right or wrong. We are reaching the end of the law in a real way and there are only two alternatives: grace or hell. Societies inevitably seem to choose hell. Only individuals can choose grace. We’re going to need a lot of it.
The old addage is Libs have to pretend not to know certain things so their narrative can be perceived as accurate.
This:
“Most people are still clinging to beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to national leadership writ large. We need to change that thinking quickly…”

I’m sure there were people like Sundance writing this type thing to the good German people in the 1930’s. It didn’t occur to the average German what was happening to his country. There were a few voices crying in the wilderness…like Churchill alone at Chartwell.
To me, the question is: How does a voice like Sundance compete with WAPO, NYC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC,CBS, ABC, USAToday, A.P., Reuters, AOL etc.
SD to each one of us … and each one of us to two others … and those two others to four more… and those four more to eight additional people and…
“Why don’t we dare say what is so?” – initial reaction is because for a vast number of people that would be the green light for violently “fixing” things when violence is, should be, the last resort.
It’s just my gut instinct as to the answer to that question; that if people can be less jarringly brought to face reality calmer heads with workable solutions may yet prevail, many will never allow themselves to see the truth of the things around us, perhaps out of fear of discovering their own guilt in creating the mess, so if we can find a way to extend our hands to show people it’s okay to stop pretending, why not give it a try?
but, that’s just me, because fights are messy and once things are broken they never can be fully mended.
People need to pretend which is the same as being in denial because the truth is unsettling. They do not want to accept the reality that the land of the free is now a myth. They need to deny their government and many of their fellow citizens have become incredibly evil and that their government is not run by moral decent people.
Many thinking people have stopped pretending a long time ago.
Pride, control and money are the prizes here. None is needed in the hereafter.
Stop being a pawn and be true to what counts, Love of an Omnipotent God and a straight path back to Him.
All the rest is noise. Live a life true to your principles.
Heavens — Herridge sits there with a smug smile on her face. Unreal. Someone should call her out.
Too many to list in a Potemkin Regime, but as Sundance noted, the most obvious Pretension in this case:
The money being taxed is Joe’s–and it is all bribes.
Would this be related to the Smith Mundt act,signed by obama…
It certainly didn’t help, but they would have done it anyway.
In many ways we’ve all been plodding through while pretending everything is relatively fine. Maybe a push back here and there but the scale of evil underneath is astonishing quite frankly.
For me the red line was the outrageous broad daylight electoral steal with the Republicans, the judiciary, incl the SC all looked the other way while helping.
The second and just as egregious if not more, the manufactured Kovid tryanny. Never thought I would see such a thing except in a Nicolas Cage movie. I can’t forget and will never forget how family, friends, and colleagues scoffed at me every damn step of the way (since Mar 2020).
How many of you have heard of the Committee of 300 and the Club of Rome?
“overturning the election in Georgia”. That’s rich.
The single biggest element of pretending that we face is the notion that questioning the legitimacy of an election that was RIDDLED in sketchy, illegitimate “irregularities” is in any way an attempt to “overthrow” anything.
Sketchy elections have been legitimately questioned by BOTH parties hundreds of times in our history, but we are expected to pretend that this time, despite all the “in your face” evidence, that questioning THIS election is somehow off limits.
The obvious conclusion is that PDJT represents an existential threat to the current power dynamic.
Everybody here at CTH knows this, but it’s frustrating to see the ongoing “pretending” on this one key issue.
It continues to infuriate me the way the corporate press keeps on outright lying with that BS story about PDT “attempting to overturn the election” when challenging electors is not only Constitutional, but a routine habit of the dems…Talk about disgusting…
If SCOTUS would ever hear a test case and overturn NYT vs Sullivan (that allowed them to defame public figures w/ whatever lies/propaganda they desire), it would be a great day for America.
I don’t want to be a pest, but I am still hoping to get some help with this and so I am re-posting this from earlier.
A topic of immense pretending is election integrity and “no evidence of widespread fraud” in the 2020 election. Please help me here as I try to get others to stop pretending.
Thanks for any help you can provide on this matter
One interesting piece of info heard on Joe Pags the other night was that the total number of ballots turned in/counted was waaay beyond the number of registered voters in the country…Good luck w/ the rest. It’s all out there. (Many of us will never forget going to bed knowing PDT had won and waking up to the news that….it was still up in the air???)
Prob watching “200 Mules” and taking notes would be helpful, as well.
It’s for your own good. We know best. Its’ for the children. Don’t be negative. Don’t ask questions. Don’t support that guy, he’s a political neophyte. Please donate to us, we need the money to fight for you. If we only had the House. If we only had the Senate. If we only had the White House. Hanging chads. Don’t pay attention to the illegal aliens who flew the planes on 9/11. The Patriot Act is the only way to help safeguard America. Weapons of mass destruction. We need to bail out the banks. Too big to fail. If we only had control of all of government we will overturn Obama care. We can’t build a wall , it’s un-American. Stop complaining at least you have a job. It’s a global, free trade economy. Tariffs will ruin the economy. We must raise interest rates to slow inflation. We need to spend more money. We need unfettered mail in ballots to prevent the spread of covid. Don’t question the elections best run ever. If you don’t get the shot or wear a mask, you will lose your job. Windmills, Solar panels, EV’s will save mankind. Disinformation, misinformation, mal-information is strictly forbidden. Speak out at your own risk. Support our policies or else. etc. etc. etc……….You will be pretended upon, Comrade and comply, or else.
Yes sir!

It’s all planned; it’s all being executed.
Reading your last line “Watch what happens!”, I for a split second swelled with excitment thinking that the next thing I would see is a video where someone, for contrast, did reply in a non-pretending manner, and called the spade a spade. Regrettably that did not happen. Otherwise, as usual your insights are perfect and much appreciated.
“… five year investigation…”!
Margret Brennan is a lying PoS! The Democrats and their MSM water-carriers (like Martha Brennan) have obfuscated and continuously tried to block any and all serious investigations into the Biden Crime Syndicate!
To use the language of Emily Latella, “Brennan you ignorant slut!”
Dan Ackroyd used to say that to Jane Curtin during the “Point/Counterpoint” section of the SNL Weekend Update.
Latella’s line was “Never mind,” which is pretty much what the dems say when we try to point out the very obvious steal in 2020.
I knew years ago when Herridge went to CBS she would change. She was great on Fox and I couldn’t understand why she made the switch. Then, when you watch her reporting thru the years she was lying. She DOES KNOW, and HAS KNOWN and ALWAYS HAS KNOWN for all these years, but here she is. Lying. Sad really. It’s all about the Benjamin for her too I guess.
Like lemmings, these idiots are leading Our Country over the precipice!
