Sometimes I am required by disposition to drop to my knees in thankful and appreciative prayer for the intellectual and honest fellowship on these pages; this is one of those times.
When I describe the nature of our affiliation to those in similar networks, some of those you would likely call familiar, I am often asked why I spend so much time reviewing the commenting section of our diverse conversation on the porch. My answer is the same as the repeated emphasis I provided to those who rescued us from the Big Tech deplatforming effort… “the conversation is the point.”
You are the absolute best group of online people assembled. PERIOD. You are what makes me smile, feel optimistic, feel encouraged and positive about the future amid the whirlwind of chaos generated by the professional political class. Quite simply, you.. that’s right, YOU, are the modern WE THE PEOPLE. Feel good about that as you look at the person you see in the mirror when you brush your teeth. Give yourself credit, you are awesome.
An incredible conversation starts with one simple and profoundly interesting point from Lorrie…
“I teach humanities in a public middle school. The history portion of the curriculum is the study of ancient civilizations. I NEVER espouse either my personal religious or political views — ever!
Yesterday I asked my students to write down — as a quick write– what they knew about our current government– who is in charge… how does it work…
NADA. Zilch.
These kids write every single day in my class.
Many left the paper blank.
Most said, “I don’t know anything about our government.” A few mentioned who the president is.
Hmmmm…..
Ten years ago, I had students yammering their opinions on all sorts of political topics. I realize that usually they were parroting what they hear from family members.
Today, silence.”
Big wisdom follows from Paul:
“I don’t put it on the kids because in your original post you mention that 10 years ago, kids yammered away with opinions. Something shifted. It’s why I asked the question.
This tells me they are not hearing it at home. Their parents are not talking about it. Nor are others around them. Then they spend hours upon hours on their phones on social media.
They are isolated and being manipulated. They just don’t know it. And their parents ignore it because they too, more than likely, have been swallowed by the Borg.
Sad times.”
A simple response, with just as profound an affirmation from Oscar:
“Sad to confirm Paul but everything you say is true and has swallowed up my 20 yo daughter. The self isolation and 100% reliance on her phone for information is beyond disturbing to me. I pay for her phone because it helps her keep her job. I’m seriously thinking of pulling the plug and forcing her to pay phone expenses.
I speak with her regularly regarding current events, Gaza, Biden, etc. but have a hard time staying calm. She doesn’t read anything other than what’s spoon fed her through her iphone. She has zero historical context or background for any of her communist inspired rhetoric. She is completely manipulated. Her two brothers are complete MAGA and know what’s happening.
Her older sister is Lib and will not change due to peer pressure among the elite crowd in NYC that she works and socializes with. Obviously, my experience has been much tougher with my two daughters. I used to believe that a liberal is a future conservative once they age, pay taxes and are mugged by reality. My daughter in NYC has been mugged once by herself visiting DC and again in DC with her hyper lib, former college roommate (all within the last 18 months) and they both are still Lib. I will never give up on them. I constantly send them conservative, logical articles (VDH is a favorite) and I always try to lead by example.”
Please, if you are so inclined, let us continue this conversation in this breakout post.
There is large value within this discussion and trust me – I, along with millions of like-minded mules, some with a profound reach and beyond your imagining importance, read every single word with contemplation, introspection and appreciation.
♦ Last point. When you drop a stone into a pond a ripple is created. The ripple expands in an ever-increasing circle. Once you drop the stone, there is no way to reverse the process of the ripple expanding. Such is the pond of life and ultimately the love, wisdom and value you drop within it.
This simple fellowship we call The Conservative Treehouse exists, because of you – not me, YOU.
You are the point.
You are the value.
You are the gift.
Feel that…. along with my profound appreciation for your incredible value.
Love to all.
Steadfast,
~ Sundance
In our daily lives we don’t always get to be around our like-minded family and friends, so it is good to be able to come here and read comments and interact with people who are at least somewhat similar in upbringing and beliefs. That helps a lot in coping with life in general.
Also, Sundance gives us some unique perspective and detailed analysis that no other media outlet will dare deliver. Thank You for that.
Clovis – “I feel enriched by this Treehouse. There’s an understanding of where true power lies and an appreciation that the foundation of America is based on the goodness of Divinity. Everyday I too, like this Treehouse, pray for the safety and protection of our country. And I ask God to bless all of humanity and lead us back to the ways of the Divine Plan. We’ve been told enough about it to know we should love God with all our mind, heart and strength. And love our neighbor as we love ourselves. And to know that this is a Big Truth, not a simple cliché as materialists insist in their dismissal of things invisible. That there are invisible things they can’t destroy really bothers them. Anyway that’s my thought in reading the Treehouse today.”
I have read the book Power vs Force by David Hawkins. I continue to think about the premise of the book as it relates to issues in my personal life but also in relation to what we as a nation and as Patriots are facing today. I know that real power comes from “We the people” not the government . And force ultimately has to give way to power.
Here are some of the themes of Power vs Force:
Force arises from lower consciousness levels such as shame, fear, anger, rage, pride, whereas Power arises from higher consciousness levels such as courage, neutrality, will, reason, love. It is based on principles such as integrity, courage and compassion, while force is external and relies on fear, coercion, and manipulation.
Force manifests in the world as divisive, limited, destructive, polarizing, whereas Power manifests in the world in unifying ways, motivated by the desire for the well-being of humanity.
This is why Christ tells us “Be not afraid.” Fear has a profound effect on our ability to reason and react. It has a huge impact on our neurological systems. This is why terror has been utilized by authoritarians since the dawn of time. It is easy to control people who are afraid.
My mother is a liberal, she is one of the most anxious and fear filled people I know. She is easily manipulated and controlled by the media and the Democratic Party. She believes everything they tell her because that is where her sense of security comes from.
For a lot of people, their sense of security comes from fitting in with their peers, and society at large. Peer pressure works well on them. The threat of being shunned or even just treated badly by the herd causes them fear and they fall in line.
For some of us, our sense of security comes from our knowledge that Christ has already won the battle against evil. We can not be manipulated by fear, we choose to trust in God and do the right thing regardless of the outcome. We will conform and follow the rules as long as they are just. Once the injustice occurs, we refuse to comply.
As we walk forward in time, non-compliance will be our most potent weapon. For some of us, the other potent weapon is speaking out to all in our orbits. Thankfully, Sundance’s orbit is huge and his wisdom is deep and sound. Thank you for this branch I sit upon.
Your words: I know that real power comes from “We the people” not the government . And force ultimately has to give way to power.
They are so profound as we look upon the landscape we are faced with in this country, overrun by illegals, run by imbeciles and thieves to our detriment and that of most of our fellow countrymen.
One of the workers at Walmart yesterday, spoke with me about the thieving and that folks were having a hard time affording food, let alone black Friday purchasing. I looked a grey woman but I wore my gold cross and medic alert bought back when gold was under 400 an ounce, and my cart had several bags covering the bottom layer. I have had carts piled up to the brim, before I had a freezer and a garden. He was not the only employee to speak to me, but the other one was flirting…lol
This Walmart is not near me, it’s near the resort beach area I used to live in, and it is located on an island in central Florida. I expect theft in the Walmart near me, but not this one. The difference in clientele is reflected in the orderly shelves.
I have never had a conversation like this before at this Walmart, which I have frequented from 2001 to 2019. I only go there now when I see my dentist and chiropractor.
The audacity of this administration to gaslight us on the state of the economy, when it is only going to get worse for people already struggling to afford food and a roof over their head.
Also, I went to a pie party hosted by my realtors. Business has taken a nose dive, but prices have not yet. Florida passed a lot of laws after the fall of Sunrise condos in Miami that impact condo associations. These laws require the associations to have things like roof, elevator, balcony replacements fully covered within a few years rather than relying on assessments. So, most of the associations (even well managed ones, which most are not) are levying assessments of 30,000 and more. In addition, all of them are hiking monthly dues between 150 and 300. Further, hikes are anticipated in 2/3 years.
The people who bought the condo I sold totally remodeled the kitchen (it needed new cabinets and lighting, but they also bought all new appliances). They also remodeled the master bath, took out the cast iron tub and replaced with a shower with a low rise edge. They put it up for sale 18 months after purchase at almost twice what they bought it for. It has dropped 150K since, but still well above purchase price. They are probably close to the price to recoup purchase plus remodel costs. It’s kind of sad because they were looking for a place for the wife to surf from and with a garage that did not have built in shelving to house her boards. I don’t know whether the assessments and dues made them decide to sell or whether there was a job change for one or both of them.
Impressive
A voice of sanity in an insane world.
Thank you for all you do!
YES!!! I feel SO blessed to be at CTH. Sundance’s articles over the years BIGLY helped me to wake up.
Of the Awakening, 50% is the Grace of God, 25% is from the Guru and 25% is from the individual.
And the individual’s 25% portion of awakening takes 100% of the individual’s effort.
Sending Joy, Peace, Loving Kindness to All. And ALWAYS MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
The ‘generational challenge’ has been going on since generation #2. What’s now known as the last year of elementary school is the exact time the generations dissect, like it or not it is natural.
Who likes their parents at this age?; they love them but don’t like them. AND guess what, the parents feel the same way….they don’t like what ‘they’re’ turning into.
The kids think their parents don’t know anything; they don’t understand anything, and they sure don’t want them to be part of their sphere.
AND the parents see it the same.Both generations are correct.
Clothes, music, new fads, wanting to stay out of each other’s sight, making fun of how weird ‘they’ think, intolerance of ‘agreement’ just on principle, are just some of the dissecting examples held by both parents and kids.
Coming to blows is the perceived outcome of the tensions on both parties; whether in school or the home. Blows or blow the joint seems to be the decision of the day.
Better to avoid –than confrontations, so the parents retreat and don’t know what’s going to become of ‘them’, they won’t listen. The kid retreats and doesn’t want to talk, communicate, or even look at the parent. And as the years go by the parting of ways is the natural remedy.
That’s life, cutting the apron strings is never done in a day; and the love and bonds made before age 5 are cemented in both parent and child. The love is a fond ‘feeling’ because kids don’t remember much before age 5 but they always feel love of home and parents. To the parents it’s the time most memories are made, when they were the absolute center of their world and vice versa. Every parent has said ‘when you were a baby’……..many never bring up ‘when you were a teen’….
I’ve left the page blank many times in the years of turmoil; let them figure it out was my moto.
I didn’t have the helicopter parents of today and my heart goes out to the young; my parents encouraged learning on my own, teachers said ‘you can not get any help’ with homework. We were taught how to cross a road, then it was up to you to follow the rules and teach others. I pass by playgrounds with no one there; going in pairs was a rule so the playgrounds were always full.
My father couldn’t understand the reason for a ‘portable radio’ or a ‘walk talky’ phone, but he was thrilled with me when I used them.
No generation has ever expected the next generation to be able to take over the reins. And unfortunately it’s still happening. But the outcome is the increased time it takes for maturity has increased; 30 seems to be the new teens now a days; but then again I’m of the old generation.
Kids are smarter than they ever get credit for; and parents want credit for raising the kid right; they both get their do when the grandchildren come along!
Here’s another possibility on why those students said nothing. Here in Kalifornia, my granddaughter had to talk to her 9 year old about talking about the family in her school. With Newsom’s latest foray into Communism a law was passed that allows the teacher to call CPS and have a child removed from the classroom without parental notice. Child abuse you say? No just mentioning that your parents don’t believe in misgendering!. So, she felt it was imperative that she mention to a 9 year old that by saying certain things the teacher could have her removed from her home. How terrifying it is to be a child today. I pray every day for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Because I know He is in charge, and he does not make mistakes, but every day become more difficult.
Having a child in a government school is dangerous these days. They are being indoctrinated against the parents and grandparents, the American culture and God. They are NOT being educated. This is common core, abstract, impossible for the child to comprehend because it’s not age appropriate instruction. They are being socialized into all manner of degeneracy, gay, lesbian, gender transitioning, groomed for pedophiles. Pornography is actively promoted in the schools at all ages. This is a recipe for an adult with profound psychological issues and an inability to form close relationships with other people.
My DIL homeschools. I will sing her praises for that until my dying day, I am so grateful that she is a patient, nurturing servant to my 4 grandchildren. Her oldest is ten and wrote a poem about gardening because granny brought some baby tomatoes that I had propagated in water to their house one day. So, they saw the roots up close and personal. Accidents happened but one tomato plant survived to make their mother happy. She gave up her profession. My son has been able to keep her out of the work force by working hard and managing his career better than his parents did.
That support you’re giving her is so important.
We have no phones or screens for kids in our home. We don’t own a television. We homeschool. You either fight or die. It’s way beyond politics. Don’t you want to save their souls?!
“Captain my Captain”. Your hand guides the conversation gently toward the rising sun.
A few thoughts from a different perspective. I ask that you not fall into the trap of receiving every message that doesn’t conform to the unity aspect of all of this as an outsider attack. I arrived at CTH a couple years ago and discovered value in the sleuthing Sundance performed. It was analysis/inference that I was FORCED to consider in my personal assessment of ground truth. It also overlapped many of the facts I was gleaning from friends/contacts involved in the gov’t/business/military worlds – contacts which are aging out over time thus enhancing the utility of CTH as a window. While I discover value in many comment posts, I personally am not here for the unity aspect. Apologies in advance to those who find this to be a character flaw! We all share the same goal of righting what we perceive to be a nation (our home) and society being intentionally redirected from its foundations and core values.
We live in the Information Age. It is an encompassing, sweeping change, just like the Industrial Age, that will not be arrested or reversed. As with every one of these “ages”, legal systems, societal structures, economy, international relations, military doctrine, values, leaders and followers, wealth distribution, etc., all adapt to both accommodate and advance the evolution – often without full understanding of unintended consequences. Think things are problematic now? Just wait for all the unknown dynamics generated by artificial intelligence and quantum computing to unfold!The discussion about the evils of smart phones strikes me as somewhat Luddite in tone. The phenomena observed in classrooms, home conversations, etc., are not caused by technology – technology in the grand sweep of things has made our lives easier and longer over the path of millennia. The colossus of just the cyber world information technology set (e.g., computers, networks, electromagnetic spectrum), data/information and people (e.g., standards/policy types, operators, providers, engineers, consumers and more) constitute an unimaginatively complex environment whose behavioral aspects simply do not gravitate to some hoped for equilibrium state – that’s a fact Jack/Jacquiline from someone who has been engaged in the security aspects of all of this since the late 1980s. You’re in for the ride whether you like it or not. All due respect, despite the missives, everyone logs on to this site, many on daily/hourly binges, directly employing the full complement of communications, electrical, processing capabilities. It’s not the technology – it’s how it is used – and that derives from an entirely different set of causal factors IMO.Cutting to the quick to focus on the obvious and to end this post (perhaps inspiring a different priority set which I see some have already introduced): the starting point must be an honest assessment of why our culture, our political system, our children, our sense of “presence and influence” in all of this have changed. What are internal dynamics that have propelled this since 1776? What are the external forces rerouting our systems, our governance processes, our emotional states? I’m struggling to fit some of the pieces – at a time in life where one should be relaxing “into the easy chair”. Sundance has performed a tremendous service revealing the structural changes that have been implemented to reroute the evolution of our society, illuminating many of the people and communities operating to reroute the dynamic, what some of the intended end state for these people portends. To alter this evolution (or the societal conflict if you prefer) the deeper currents have to be understood. I think that is one of the purposes of Sundance’s post in the first place – plumb the CTH community for deeper understanding. My input in this post was limited simply to what I consider a misunderstanding of technology – something that has been with us since mankind put fire and stone to use, began farming…all the way to innovating automobiles that liberated billions into mass mobility and freedom to move and associate wherever they chose.
Note: this is not the original formatting I used. Apologies to all who, like me, find blocks of information compressed into a single visual presentation very tedious and disruptive to absorbing ideas.
Thus spoke the supposed knowledgable cyber practitioner!
Note to anyone: When your comment turns into one big block of text, immediately hover on the righthand side of your comment and click on the symbol that appears. An “edit” box should appear. Click on that.
Go to the period at the end of a sentence where you want a paragraph to end. Place the cursor after the period and press “enter” or its equivalent on your device. Press it TWICE. This will start a new paragraph with white space above it.
Accent on the “immediately” part.
There is a timer on edit access that I missed.
What is strange is that the modification did not occur following a save operation but much later.
A gear symbol button is on the bottom right side.
Touch it and the word EDIT appears.
It is invisible until you touch the gear symbol.
Technology is just a tool. It can be used for good or evil. I do not think we can foresee all of the implications of AI or quantum computing. They will be transformative, I have no doubt. The ability to fake literally everything will be a first. They also unlock the ability to explore things like climate changes (the real ones based in science) and weather that computers have improved but not quite nailed down.
The powers that rule us had initially planned to implement Central Bank Digital Currency in 2023. They are just now getting started on testing it. This is a big country with numerous disparate systems of trade at numerous scales from individual to large corporation. If they try to force it upon us in 2024, they will fail miserably in many areas just like Obamacare only worse. Don’t help them fix it. Actively make it more difficult to be herded into it. Convert CBDC to things and other types of money as quickly as you can, when you are forced to accept it. The ultimate objective of CBDC is control of human beings, what they purchase, where they go, what they do. The weak link in this planned system is dependence on electricity and connections to everything and everyone. Some of it we are unlikely to be able to avoid, however, alternatives will be built by the people and disconnecting will be needed.
The financial system (US dollar dominated) is failing, has been failing since 2008, with a major flaw appearing in late 2019, just before corona came to the rescue of the financial system. There were limited jubilees (student debt, mortgage, rent) and there was helicopter money (stimulus checks to individuals and corporations). The productive economy was halted, the supply chains were hosed up and globalism was dealt a fatal blow. Globalism is still holding up the system but it is not going to last. Work on alternatives has begun in earnest. It is a slow, necessary transition.
The more self-sufficient in every aspect of what you need to sustain life facilitates weathering this time of transition. Nobody knows exactly what the future will entail, the powers that be have their plans and we know much of their plans. Their plans have many flaws. The biggest is a failure to work with human nature. Some of their plans will be successful and others will fail completely to be supplanted by alternatives built by the people or their sorry substitutes.
When the hurricanes take out the local grid, there is no gas because the stations have no electricity, there is no trucking because the roads are blocked, there is no running water because there is no electricity, there is no internet or tv and credit cards don’t work because there is no electricity. There may or may not be cell service depending on which towers are down.
The next day there is much work to do to clean up nature’s rearrangement of the area. There is no where to go because it is all closed. Generators allow some people to light their homes and cook. Most resort to grills and propane.
There is no certain timetable for restoration of power. It may be weeks or months. But an area that is hit with lots of damage, recovery is in years because repairs take time and some have the money for them and some do not.
I have been touched by God since early 2019 always believed always trusted but in an enhanced way since then if I told you how you go “crazy”.I have never ever owned a cellphone ,I keep to myself venturing to only the net TG these days TV is off limits except for YT for my hobby’s and history.I for the first time in my life am reading the KJV from cover to cover quite enlightening.The removal of God from our curriculum on a daily basis and the worship of money makes for a culture void of any morality like today.
I ran into a young Lady at work the other day first thinking she was in her early 20’s later the sign of the first crows feet said early 40’s.I do not know how but we started talking about God and she brought it up first “Awakening ” that society is starting to come around.I brought up I can not listen to music anymore and I like it alot she goes”I just got goose bumps” “I do not listen anymore either”.She confided she likes quiet contemplation and she only uses her phone as a phone “no scrolling”.The electronics of our age while it could aid in betterment in many areas has been consumed by the forces to be used against us.
The World is changing right before our eyes and at time even I have a hard time seeing it but you cannot have blinders and stop using the MSM but use the dialogue with your fellow man and listen for that voice from God in your Spirit and Mind.the crazy part……

Strange dream about God’s plan.I saw a rod of sorts p/u like pieces of tiny bits of paper(?) and move them to a different location like by static electricity.The bits of paper were ever they where placed cling ed to one another and assumed the correct color needed.The message was “INFINITELY PERFECT” is God’s Will.
We come out the otherside better off.
This all boils down to consequences. When actions don’t have consequences, we don’t learn from damaging behaviors. When people ask if I’m a Republican or Democrat I always say that I am neither and simply believe in consequences for behaviors. We get what we pay for. We pay to send illegal migrants all over the country, we get more illegals. We pay for safe drug kits, and hand out Narcan, we get more drug addicts. We allow homeless people to take over our streets, we get more homeless. These are the consequences of weakness.
“This all boils down to consequences” Simply put, and totally Accurate.
The ignorance and stupidity of the screen slaves is sad, and an everyday visible symptom of an alienated, dysfunctional society. The larger economic forces at work to aggravate that dysfunction are far more insidious – and now also more visible.
The political system is downstream of the economic system and that has nowhere to go but down into a maelstrom. The majority of this country gets a check from an Uncle Sam that has no money. Now add in the influx of 20 million illegal migrants dependent on welfare over the last ten years. They already are well on their way to bankrupting cities faster than democrats can be elected. This dependency and sense of being owed is the hard pavement we cannot pull up for a generation at least.
Many of us hope DJT can fix that when he wins. Igniting an economic revolution by small business and tariff restrictions I would argue, is too little too late. The federal interest payments on debt will hit 50% of the budget the day he’s inaugurated.
If he attempts to dismantle much of the federal government, begins mass deportations and reduces federal spending by $2 trillion he STILL has to shell out $2 trillion in entitlement checks. None of these desirable goals will be realized given the radical courts, and the Uniparty that clings to power and will vote more debt. And of course, a mounting interest payment that will move toward 75% of the budget faster than we can blink will make every check written by Uncle to the “entitled”worth less and less. Demands will be made. The productive will be robbed.
We have wrapped a boa constrictor of debt/inflation/entitlements/the MIC (military industrial complex) and vicious federal bureaucracies around our throats. The police state now relentless in its tactics will require violent pushback.
If we were a small country like Argentina then facts would be different. It’s about the money and as the currencies of the world one by one fail, the dollar will remain dominant and impossibly inflationary until the day when it too, fails, into Weimar hyperinflation. Five years sounds about right.
We do not know if they will allow Trump to be POTUS again. Once there, we do not know what he will or will not be capable of. There is an organization preparing an army to help Trump restore the country upon his election. They are MAGA, they are from many fields and they are both experts and worker bees in these fields.
There is a possibility that the government as we know it will be dissolved completely rather than put right by Trump. There is a possibility kinetic war breaks out between the states and between the US and other powers.
What we do know is that many more people in the US will become homeless and impoverished. We know that prices for everything will skyrocket (the media is lying about this). Powell will not cut rates until inflation subsides. Inflation is due to government spending and high interest rates will not compensate for the high rates of spending congress keeps endorsing. So, until the government quits spending money it/we do not have, the misery will continue.
I hope this truly underscores the importance of schooling children. There is a segment that will never seek alternatives and send their kids to public schools – we can’t change that. Schoolboard members are elected – we can change this – start there. Then get the schoolboards to stop taking federal dollars with “strings” – this is a big stressor for tax payers, but the cord needs to be cut. Breaking the teachers unions is much more difficult, but needs to be taken on head first, strong and without compassion. The current “wave” of teachers are some of the first out of the indoctrinated schools – start to finish – they have the warped prog-lib-communist upbringing and brainwashing as intended by dem goal.
Get kids out of public schools – charter schools are gaining traction and popularity and homeschooling has so much more online support to those with the will to do it for their kids. Parents, if your kids aren’t worth it in your eyes – I am sorry, you are beyond reproach. The good news is those irredemable souls aren’t reading from this site and the good people here will see the value in this. Be like the lioness in that picture, nurture your own, protect them and enjoy the product of a proper guiding path.
If you know your enemy, you can defeat your enemy. Our enemy is worldwide Marxism, in all of its subsequent political forms. Because I found this truth by accident (I read “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers and began reading everything I could find about Communist political activity) I can confidently say that the coalition among Collectivist political movements everywhere around the world is a Globalist push for Communist control of all of the world’s governments.
Globalism is doomed to failure because all civilized nations have several human social activities in common. They include 1) A common language that dominates their discourse 2) A common political system that supports their privileges as citizens 3) A common respect for all of the institutions of their own governing bodies 4) A legal system that is fair to all of its citizens 5) A common basis for their religious beliefs. Global Marxism has no chance(with hundreds of languages spoken, dozens of dominate religions, several economic philosophies, and nearly 200 unique governments around the world) to ever amalgamate the cultures of any but the closest social and political countries. And they want to do this in a world which will need several hundred, if not thousands of years to be unified by language, religion, currencies, marketplaces, ethnicity and the rest.
Nations must also feel prosperous in order to reproduce their population. The reason Africa has an exploding population is that, for the first time in modern history, nearly all of them are being fed and this makes them feel prosperous. The reason Europe and North American populations are declining is that people do not feel prosperous. The Globalists only ideas are no religion, huge reductions in uncooperative populations, a single governing body composed of only themselves, one military/police force, control of all of the world’s resources, and amalgamating all currencies/marketplaces into one. Their only promise is that they think they will end wars, feed and house the remaining populations, and remove all religious activities. “Everyone will own nothing, but we will all be happy” exclaims Peppermint Patty!
We have to defeat this monster and return to the path of freedom for people to be able to live as well as all of the other beings of this world do. I just want to have the same freedom that all of the other species on our planet have. My rant is concluded.
MAGA!
I upvoted you. The powers that be (Communists?) are not waiting for a common language, a common religion, a common governing system or a common legal system. They are planning on moving us to a common digital currency (central bank digital currency) through which they can control all of our purchases, where we go, what we ingest, what we do every day.
They are pushing communism as the governing system and “woke” as the new religion.
The clot shots were just one of the arrows in their death quiver, the wars in Ukraine and Palestine are another quiver. Adulteration of water and food are two more. Then, there is also famine. All reduce population. Mad men rioting is also one of the quivers, active everywhere.
I upvoted you, Lolly. Thanks for adding your take on it.
After growing up going to the tea party rally, yearly March for Life, presidential rallies, including J6, my kids, one now a freshman in college and one in upper high school, have noted that all politics in our household seem to have stopped. They’re right, it’s as if the 2020 steal, and the subsequent fraud, have rendered our political involvement moot. It’s obvious, as Sundance has said, it’s not about the voting but the counting, so what’s the point of discourse? We’ll do our duty on Election Day but we’re not assured that our vote even counts or matters, so we’re just taking a wait and see attitude. Not to mention living in fear of retribution for J6/Latin Mass attendance. Sigh.
Right on NKMom, the same happened with me. Was very involved and since 2020, I will do my duty but feel that I can accomplish nothing, the corruption and decay is like a snowball rolling downhill gaining momentum. Getting in the way of that will crush you. I am now more focused on trying to “see” the future to help protect my family and friends, so that means studying the bible, watching the geopolitical landscape and praying for the Holy Spirit to open my eyes to deceivers. This site has helped me see things previously hidden to me. Thanks to all of you and of course Sundance.
Oh yes, we live in discouraging times, but we must not give up, cave, or acquiesce to the lies and the evil that surrounds us. “We are to occupy until He comes.” Which means keep fighting and speak the truth. We should be salt and light to the world. We know how this story ends, and those who seek God and His righteousness win. In the end, we win.
This. Exactly this. I feel like Cassandra, destined to know and speak the truth, and never be believed. Now I watch and wait. And pray, always prayer.
There are ways to fight.
Most members of public boards must post a bond in order to serve, whether it is an election board or school board or library board.
Get the board member’s bond revoked and they cannot serve.
Check out the website:

to learn how to get those bonds revoked.

And if we don’t vote to show that we know our vote won’t count, how could we ever win anyway? We can’t fix the mess by saying “I told you so”.

Seen on Gab this morning;
“We win through households, networks, and pulpits over the long term. Few want to put in the work, but those who do will bear fruit. Most want quick and easily solutions. Getting off the couch to cast a vote every four years is not going to cut it. It’s a daily grind for decades to disciple our children and build.” -Andrew Torba

Speaking of the generational battle, Maybe obvious, but we absolutely must block the c0mmi teacher unions from our public schools. Among other things, they’re creating a generation of hitl@r youth with crt. At some point, I plan to download a copy of previous and replace the word ‘white’ with the word ‘j-w’ so it’s easier to see.
THIS is critical to the survival of the nation.
Your comment is spot on.
Thanks to Sudance and all the Treepers, I still have an island of (relative) sanity. I appreciate all of you !
we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts to sacrifice and share your knowledge with us God bless all at CTH merry christmas God Jul och gott nytt ar again sundance a thousand thanks tusen tak
So much has changed in the past decade. It never seemed that everyone was forced into such a binary thinking before. People understood nuance. We had lively discussions, but still maintained our respect and love for others. I know that now I often censor myself around my adult children, because I have to choose between having a relationship with them or disagreeing with the narratives they ascribe to. I wish I knew how to fix that. My prayer is that time will heal them, but I don’t have forever to wait. It’s created a deep and enduring sadness in my heart.
My adult children have become very quiet about politics…. They are liberal but not stupid and things are looking quite wrong even them.
This is a challenge for our generation of freedom seekers. I share my views through links and emails of pertinent national/global events. Some of my thinking he has adopted, other parts he rejects. I don’t argue, I just present alternative ways of thinking about what is going on. Some parents of adults engage in Q&A sessions. Perhaps you can ask why they think the way they do. They are heavily propagandized, we all are. People have different ways of aligning their beliefs with the world around them. Some of us are just plain naturally stubborn and hard-headed. Reality has a way of making the most stubborn pay attention.
It is a long battle won by inches over time. Do not give up and do not give in to hopelessness. They love you or they would not be around you. Small questions can nudge them towards bigger truths. Off hand comments can do the same. Your objective is to get them thinking critically about little stuff first.
You say “We are the value”, but in my humble opinion, this site is invaluable. Keep educating people Sundance.
I’m struggling with this exact issue with my children. My kids must be taught how to see through the messaging, activism, and agenda from all parts of the political and media spectrum. I’ve concluded that I should literally set aside time to watch the news with my sons, pause when the journalist/expert/politician pushes a narrative, etc., and then explain what happened. They won’t learn on their own and my job as their father is to teach them to recognize threats. While the thought of watching cable news again is painful I’ll do what needs to be done.
How are you actively teaching your children to ingest news with a critical mind?
My oldest son and I attended Trump’s inauguration. Take your children to a Trump rally ASAP.
I work in the Pentagon, alongside mainly conservative co-workers; some remaining appropriately mum on politics. One guy I would describe as “annoyed” by Trump, but he might have been raised Democrat (Navy), not sure. I absorb the Treehouse and all of you wonderful commentators almost daily. One of our adult children grew an enlarged “empathy” gland during college/biology (save the animals), but we have hope for him yet, he’s reasonable. The other is harder conservative, Trump-based. The Treehouse is a treasure, and Truth is helpful, but I ask for us all to continue funding the Treehouse and subscribing $ to XTwitter, as the reach for twitter is needed to fight the censorship regime.

Here is a solution to our generational challenge:
https://www.theamericansparty.us/
I have two kids in their 20’s who refuse to discuss politics. Also my husband who is a “Normie”, considers political discussions to be rude. When I ask him a question about where he stands on something, he has no idea what is even going on. If I try to explain it, he doesn’t believe it.
The biggest difference between now and ten years ago is that we all used to believe Our Side was basically good. Now, we know that is not true. Corruption is on both sides. We used to trust the process, now we do not. The RINO’s are still living in the 90’s where they can negotiate with the Dems. The Overton Window has slid so far over, we don’t want them negotiating. We want them to stand firm and fight. But they see it as “bashing our head against a wall”.
Many people have checked-out because someone can find a Fact Check on anything you say, even when it is 100% true. So truth (in the public square) is dead. And if you do speak out, you get massive hate directed at you. As a result, people isolate and go anonymous. Plus, the Left has become brutal and tyrannical.
Sundance, I am late to enter this conversation, but hopefully late is better than ever. I hardily agree with your statement that this treehouse online community is one of the best in existence. I truly love this group and deeply appreciate and love you also Sundance. Your astounding breath of knowledge and wisdom on a wide variety of subjects is awe inspiring. But above all, I love the Christian background of so many of the treehouse community and the wisdom so many display.
I live in communist Oregon, so the treehouse is a refuge for me as it is many other thousands of folks I’m sure. God bless you Sundance and all the treehouse folks.

Very important observations. Thank you so much for sharing!
Sadly, it’s not just the kids that have been affected by this.
I’ve watched close family members – people with decades on me in age – be swallowed up by the borg.
These are people who used to listen to every manner of freedom-oriented talk radio you can think of; the epitome of independent thinkers.
Those people are gone now; swallowed whole by marxist propaganda. It was a staggering & horrifying realization to come to. This is the power of all-pervasive propaganda.
What we’re seeing is industrial scale cult programming.
Many of us are now the lone unaffected members of borg families. I’ve heard many people talk about this in a lot of different places.
It’s very disconcerting. And it’s tremendously difficult to wake up cult members when you can’t disconnect them from the programming.
This is why I advocate for shutting down all of the propaganda networks. I fear what will happen if we can’t manage to do this.
