I initially considered a password protect post for this, but the issue is important enough that messaging a larger audience carries a greater value.
Someone noted yesterday that after my research trip my tone changed. Perhaps becoming a little more deliberate, perhaps becoming a little more stern. It is an accurate sense, and there is a very good reason for this. I will explain.
I have noted several times in the past few years that the nature of our relationship with government seems to have shifted. Specifically, We The People now appear to be in an abusive relationship with government. In all abusive relationships there is a common set of behaviors; the DC control system is following a familiar pattern. My recent research trips helped me to understand exactly how severe and deep this shift has become.
Certain abusers distort reality in the mind of their victims through gaslighting. Essentially manipulative and strategic lying, to make the abused think something, perhaps even their reality, is completely different. Our government institutions and those who control the information flow into media have been doing exactly that. The examples are numerous, but the deliberateness began to take a severe tone with the COVID-19 fiats.
In my opinion, it was our willingness to buy into the false frameworks surrounding the COVID-19 hysteria, that really opened the eyes of possibility in the mind of powerful people within our government. We accepted too much; we allowed too much; we willingly accepted an almost totalitarian state in response.
The rules themselves were ridiculous.
The mask nonsense, the social distancing, business closures, lockdowns, “essential vs nonessential jobs”, roped off products in certain areas of stores as if the virus couldn’t travel or the types of purchases determined risk; people were arrested on paddleboards in the ocean by themselves, closed parks outside and the police watching; standing in a restaurant was dangerous, but sitting at a table was not; etc. etc.
All of it was madness, yet we complied.
It was almost like a test, to see how much the control of information could influence behavior – and bad actors within our government were paying attention to how easy it was to manipulate action, diminish liberty and control the behavior of free people.
Granted, in other countries it was worse; yet still, in the USA where our DNA is forged in the fire of being suspicious of government, three-quarters of the population took an untested experimental, gene modifying “vaccine.” In hindsight, it is stunning to consider.
Fast forward to my recent research trip(s). What I discovered outside the USA, is that we are being lied to.
The Russian sanctions are not sanctioning Russia or impeding their economic growth – not even close. Instead, the sanctions have built walls around the USA financial system, not to keep Russians out – but to keep Americans locked in. I have given details about this previously, and I will not repeat here.
Then, if you take the expanding surveillance state and the expansion of DHS authority under the guise of “national security,” adding in the extreme control system now in place through the public-private partnership with social media, you really begin to see the architecture of a massive information control system. Making the reality all the bleaker, no voice in Washington DC is genuinely pushing back and publicly calling out the surveillance state.
Our elected representatives are not representing our interests; instead, they are codependent enablers, willfully blind to the overall system of expanded government control. The abuser is stronger, the victim is weaker (less free), and every element is now in place to block the victim, us, from realizing the scale of their abuse.
Making the issue more alarming, is the seemingly unstoppable censorship and control enterprise that is blocking people from networking, communicating and sharing their current status. This was the primary reason I began the protected “Slowly at First” (SAF) discussion threads. So people could just talk about the reality in their region, and we could all compare notes.
Something very dark is assembling deep inside our nation, and yet we are seemingly distracted from noticing it. The reality of motive behind the U.S. sanctions against Russia, as identified by my fact-finding mission that was not easy to accomplish, really made me reconsider the nature of the control around us.
What I realize now, is that agencies within our federal government are building a matrix of walls to lock us into a severely controlled system. We are being isolated and we do not see it.
We can debate (and I have) while hiding behind the benefits of “tactical civics” all day long. But what we are really debating and accepting is the size of our cell or cell block. Yes, locally you can and should fight for liberty – locally. However, do not blind yourself to the reality of the outcome; in essence, we are creating 15-minute cities. Is that really freedom?
Within the federal system under construct, information is being controlled. The online systems of sharing contrary information are being changed, modified and ultimately blocked. Our expenditures and costs of living are being used as weapons for control via monetary policy. Our systems of independent ownership and self-determination are being dismantled. Our ability to engage in commerce is being increasingly subject to approvals. Some of those approvals are self-generated. Our finance system is being changed to a more controlling central bank, and perhaps a digital currency.
We The People are being isolated, just like a victim of toxic abuse would be isolated. There are walls and barriers being built all around us, even around our nation, and if the government were to take full control over digital communication and internet services (the path we are on), it’s unlikely we would even know the scale of our captivity.
So yeah, my tone is changing.
After my visit to Eastern Europe and the currently forbidden region, both of them, I now see the limits on freedom that exist here at home. Each of the datapoints, each of the stories, articles, research reviews and detailed documented instances of bad behavior from our federal government now takes on a different context.
As I detailed every moment and filled our research library with citation after citation over the past dozen years, I knew the trajectory was bad. I knew it was really bad – really bad. Yet, I had no idea how severe and bad the abuse had become until I stood in the forbidden world and realized everything I was told about it, was a lie.
Remember, I wasn’t there at the invitation of anyone. I wasn’t there with a handler, minder or escort. No one from the forbidden world even knew I was there. I was there as a free and independent person, a sovereign citizen who hacked his way through the jungle with a rusty machete to get there.
When I left the forbidden world, came back through eastern Europe through Istanbul and ultimately back into the west, I spent hours in careful contemplation trying to reconcile the motive for the false information and yet simultaneously put a mental scale together to evaluate the scope of the U.S. propaganda effort.
The only thing that makes any of it make sense, is to accept the datapoints that clearly show the walls being built around us – to isolate us.
I never really understood how people could accept the formation of communism around them.
Now I do.
I see it happening, and that is making me very angry.
I have also spent hours on my knees, deliberately asking our loving God – the one source of purest truth – to guide and help me.
I am shouting now. We must stop being codependent enablers to our own isolation.
TPTB: They want a wall? We’ll give ’em a wall!
I’ve long said the best solution to all this would to drop a giant Simpsons-esque dome over Washington D.C. (airholes optional) during the middle of an average work week while the House and Senate were in session.
Isolate the infection so it can’t keep pumping toxins into the rest of the body.
Sorry to break it to you, but they don’t “want” a wall – it’s already there.
.
Our government is attempting to bring about a state religion, whereby all we are allowed to believe is what they tell us.
Yet, the government is prohibited via our Constitution, from favoring any flavor of religion.
Our free will — to believe as each individual feels fit — is what every natural born American inherited by being so born.
To portend that the government has the authority to conscript our beliefs to conform to this type of religious tyranny will be turned back on them with a vengeance.
Keep your spirits high and your soul serene. We, the people, Blessed By God, will not be forced to abandon our faith . . .
Problem is, too many Americans now a days do not believe this. Govt. Has become their sovereign. True Patriots are limited numbers right now.
A determined indefatigable minority can still move heaven and earth by faith.
A much smaller minority then exists today brought the Nation into being. Hope remains with the author and finisher of our faith.
truth.
Don’t get the smoke picture
run toward the fire
I think it’s a snowplow.
I think it’s 2 people being separated (the isolation)
My take. We are being pulled apart like the man and woman standing on the cliff which were at one time together, but now a chasm has opened between them.
Standing on the precipice uncoupled from each other. A stunning and beautiful work of art!
Actually ripped asunder by cataclysmic forces.
I’m feeling Matrix.
Hard truths. But here is the balm God’s Not Dead, He is in control.
Prayers are powerful. Pray. God works in His timing, in His way. How do you live your best life? By trusting in God.
Remember God was silent for 400 hundred years before Christ’s birth. Silent but active. He was moving all the pieces into place, preparing for Christ’s birth, the emergence of Rome, the census, the movement of the planets to converge at precisely the right time to create the appearance of the star of Bethlehem, the ancient writings the Magi would study to know the star’s significance.
Do not be afraid. Be alert. Be prepared. Pray, ask God to show you your part in His eternal plan. Live your best life.
Trust in The Lord God Almighty.
Amen!! So well written and so true, thank you mrchd!
I agree God is in control, but why are you so certain He’ll spare us chastisement for wickedness and faithlessness?
America has become a wellspring of moral corruption, wickedness, and filth. America, wicked in the n-th degree, extending herself around the world, exporting sodomy, gay pride parades, intersectional theory, cultural marxism, and degeneracy, corrupting and polluting the world. America, a great wide sewer, a great evil-smelling cesspool of filth. Great technological advances and increasing personal wealth accompanied by ever and ever increasing moral depravity and wickedness.
Americans have become acclimated to a climate of wickedness and depravity. They like all the moral permissiveness. It suits them. They are comfortable with it. It gives them license and freedom. Freedom to do whatever they wish. They are so comfortable with their environment that they are no longer able to distinguish between right and wrong. Anyone who objects to their depraved ways is a radical, a lunatic, a right-wing extremist.
The modern day sympathies of most Americans align with the great deceiver, not God. On almost all American lips: Non serviam.
It will definitely be chastisement, as has been prophesied countless times and accepted by those with ears to hear. Libera nos, domine.
I completely disagree with “most Americans aligning with the great deceiver”. No, the squeaky wheel gets the grease and the squeaky wheel in this instance is definitely a minority of Americans. Most just want to live their lives and do the right thing. Don’t paint with such a broad brush.
Comsider this Lindy. 60% of the country professes to believe in God, but church attendance is at an all time low and people spend less than 15 minutes a day in prayer. Very few practice mortification, penance, or sacrifice.
If you believe in the Triune God, worship and daily prayer are a matter of justice, rendering to God his due. We live in a society that worships itself.
Therapeutic deism, i.e. “I’m a good person, so I’m good, it’s not like I’m a serial killer” does not cut it.
Sin is offensive to God. If every person on earth commits one venial sin a day, God is offended 8 billion times a day. That says nothing of the rampant mortal sins committed: licentiousness, promiscuity, narcissim, grandiosity, greed, malice, avarice, gluttony, pride, lust, blasphemy, failure to render God his due, murder, abortion, theft, pornography, etc., etc., etc.
If you think most Americans are meeting the minimum requirement to render just recompense onto God for giving us everything, you live in a very different America from me.
2nd Timothy Chapter 3. Fits the times
Prayers are a pivotal part, but God gave us free will and the spirit to act.
What was apparent during the Covid scare and the “vaccine” push that followed, was a serious lack of discernment about what was going on. My friend observed that it was due to a lack of the discernment of the Holy Spirit. This made sense to me because, unfortunately, most Americans have lost all connection to the Devine. We need the intervention of the Holy Sprit to overcome the dark pall that has overshadowed our nation.
Oh by the way, please pray for Thomas Sowell. Cannot go into why, but please do. 93 last June and has some projects he would like to see developed but is looking for others younger to take the helm.
Sowell is truly a national treasure.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It’s too late. The one mechanism people have to effect change was obliterated. Elections are forever lost. When Trump walked to that church and held up the Bible he was signaling something to somebody or some entity. For me, that was the fulcrum moment.
Someone or some “entity?”
How about the divine author of the book?
We The People are being isolated, just like a victim of toxic abuse would be isolated. There are walls and barriers being built all around us
That is an important tool of the government and leftists in general, to keep us all suspicious of each other. That way you don’t know what a small percentage of fellow citizens actually support and buy into this shyte show.
If we knew the real numbers the façade would probably crumble within a year.
That said, it’s not unreasonable to wary, until we get out of these dark times. We should generally try to keep it close: to family, friends and local acquaintances.
That was the beauty of the old America, we weren’t clannish like so many parts of the world. We wouldn’t protect a relative (a member of our clan) who was an a$$hole. In one of the Back to the Future‘s Marty asked Doc, “What happens, do I turn into an a$$hole?”
Once upon a time we could have a conversation with a complete stranger and perhaps even make a new best friend.
But we’re all in survival mode now.
SUNDANCE — IF WE CAN’T SAVE THE REPUBLIC THEN WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND WE GO TO???? ALSO IN YOUR RECENT TRAVELING DID YOU FIND ANY GOOD WEBSITES – EVEN IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE PERHAPS GOOGLE CAN TRANSLATE IT TO ENGLISH???
I’m thinking about that, too. Where shall I take my family–and what language or languages do I need to learn??? We could have CTH fellowship groups all over!!!
There really is no where to go
Agreed. It’s here or nowhere. It’s now or never.
…America is the last bastion of liberty. If we don’t fight for ourselves, there’s nothin left. I know. I’ve traveled to abt 150 countries of every variety. We’re it. We fight here on our home front. No one is coming to save us except our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. And he’s not a quitter…
I will reply to both of you. It is here or nowhere, that’s why the push is on because we are the world’s only real republic where by constitutional protection government is limited. We all have to have that mindset too because it will take ALL of us.
Regrettably, as this thread and its comments reflect, there is much angst and confusion about “where to go and what to do.” Some even ask SD for “the answer.”
Pitifully few seem to understand and believe that the FIRST and Best thing to do is to prostate ourselves before God—He is certainly loving, but He is also PERFECT cannot tolerate unredeemed sin.
Thus He has told us with great clarity that HE is also THE JUDGE of ALL. The ONLY way to be accepted by Him in this life or our lives thereafter is if we are cleansed of sin by the atoning sacrifice of His Son, the Christ.
Being “religious” (even devout) does not suffice as Jesus made clear in his warning that many will come seeking Heaven saying they were very religious but never were born again. He said flatly for them to get away from Him as He never “knew them.” Being sent away from Christ at that point can mean only one thing—being thrown into satan’s lake of fire for eternity.
A frightening thought.
Stand and fight for you heritage right here in our homeland founded by our ancestors on the rights of man given by GOD himself not by men and govts. Fight right here for your children and all future generations. Do not give up your home to the usurpers and criminals.
Defend your avatar. If you are a patriot then FIGHT FOR YOUR HERITAGE AND YOUR HOMELAND RIGHT HERE.
We need to stay right where we are, and grow.
The same apparatus used to enslave, needs high tech and electronic media more so than we do. All though I couldn’t be on here with out it I would be able to make it just fine if it were all to just shutdown today. Everything stops without electricity, do you think you can make it with out it? They sure can’t their control is lost at that point. Live your best life learn a useful skill and network locally….
All true. But major change driven from the bottom up doesn’t happen until people are desperate enough to risk security and family.
Yesterday I went to a grocery store that I go to on occasion. At the check out, the woman asked if I brought my own bags. I said no, why would I do that. She said it would be 10 cents a bag. After I paid for my groceries and 3 bags I went to the “service counter” and told them I am not a fan of this and that it was wrong. The woman there said the store was a “pilot program” regarding the bags. I told her tell corporate my feedback. The “isolation” and “take over” is everywhere.
As I walked out to my car I noticed no one carrying in a bag. This shit needs to stop.
Where do you live? This has been the policy of most grocery stores here in CA for years now!
same with WA State
Yeah, I get the “do you want a bag” bit and I ask them if they are calling me a clown?
Because I don’t juggle.
Nor do I bring my own bags to virtue signal to the false religion of Climate Change.
So do you pay $.10 per bag?
Not quite that, but I do pay.
Small price for dignity.
I first encountered the stingy bag thing while visiting my father in CA about ten years ago. With a ton of groceries in tow at checkout, I was asked if I needed a bag. I replied, “Sure, unless you can help me carry all this out to the car.”
I received the bags.
We lived in Austin for 25 years. They kind of went that direction before we left 17 years ago.
Up in the Ozarks, I carry in my coon skin sack.
When I was a kid we were ‘box boys’ and groceries often/mostly went out of the store in boxes. I carry on the tradition today shopping into a couple boxes and carrying out in same. The items simply get a short vacation on the scanning belt in between. Amazon so kindly has provided me with the boxes and the state has paid for their contents. One old poor person’s tale.
I am old enough to have seen horses and hitching posts and haversacks at the stores too. Our tavern still had a hitching post that got used even into the 1980’s. That wasn’t uncommon in parts of rural America even long after the advent of the supermarket. Thanks for carrying on the tradition. 🙂
I live in the western suburbs of Chicago.
Only in the states where environmentalist/globalist bullshit is taken as gospel. I’m too much a rebel. Someone wanted to charge me to bags to carry out the overpriced groceries would see me thanking the cashier, refusing the charge and leaving the groceries on the belt. TPTB pull this crap because people comply. Stop playing their game. Just stop.
In CO, I say loudly, “No, I can carry this stuff myself rather than paying the governor’s stupid tax.”
I’m in Cali too, it’s not a policy it’s state law. I traded the courtesy of the bag with the courtesy of returning the cart.
Certain counties around me have started charging for the plastic bags, you can have paper ones for free, but plastic are .o5. It is really annoying, especially at the self-check out counters where the camera is watching to see if you lie about the number of bags you are taking. In Liberalville I do see about 20% of the people bringing in their own bags, but they are the type to always bring their own. I have stopped going to the stores that charge, my groceries are high enough already w/me paying for the bags.
This works until the utopian statist collectivist government makes it a law that all stores have to follow.
They need compliance. You are all like water being channeled into canals and streams but unlike water you are not bound by gravity to seek the lowest point. Overflow!
Forget the cameras .
Bells do not start ringing if you tell the system you do not have bags to pay for.
Let the store or government or whoever thought this was a good idea pay for your bags.
If they have to pay for a gazillion of your bags perhaps they’ll go back to paying for them willingly.
I take in plastic when I can just to throw some sand at the idiots .
I happen to like using plastic bags.
Everyone has to say no. If that doesnt happen where you live then you should move somewhere it does. Will your neighbors come if you’re in trouble? Or will they cower and hope to be spared? Its all related.
I believe that this started in California, but even in California it started in the area that you would expect San Fransicko.
I went to visit my aunt there and as a traveler I obviously didn’t bring reusable bags. I put my items unbagged in the cart and took them to my vehicle.
But yes, it was a shock! That was years ago. Now the rest of the country is adopting Gabbin’ Nuisance’s insane laws.
carrying in your own bags brings germs into the store
placing your bags on the revolving counter puts your
germs from the bag on a surface where others place
their food
I shop at Whole Foods and many people with masks
on still do this – dumb liberals
When they started to charge for plastic bags (before the plandemic, when magically it all stopped…), they gave me ones with holes in them. Point blank, I told them that since I was paying for goods to hold the goods I purchased, I wanted bags without holes – since I REUSED them.
Took a while, but I finally was sold bags without holes.
Half the country will vote for the Tongue Tied Tandem. They have no ability to understand any of this. They can’t understand the perfect coordination of the Deep State as they culminate their agenda, neither can I.
I know the government, the elites, the globalists are the real evil but lately I really hate the media and the RINO’s.
The isolation is old news. Otherwise you might see your true numbers.

While as Sundance said “…in the USA where our DNA is forged in the fire of being suspicious of government, three-quarters of the population took an untested experimental, gene modifying “vaccine.” In hindsight, it is stunning to consider.”
Remember, one-quarter did NOT comply with the mandate. Many, probably most, knew something was up (suspicious). I know did(/was). I bet you may have too and did not comply or stopped complying.
Most of that one-quarter are awake now to the abusive relationship by our government. Most of those will not comply, at all, if our abusive government tries to pull that or another similar stunt like that again. Hey, most of us are expecting it sometime during 2024 into possibly 2025. Conditions are ripe for it.
But remember, if it comes to ‘physical resistance’, just 3% of the American people constitute a 9,900,000 person resistance force. Most of those have adequate ‘Personal Protective Equipment’. Nothing can defeat that, save a nuclear weapon. A large percentage of government personnel would also provide additional support. All it would take is an event to trigger it, which the government is probably trying very hard not to do because they know what would happen to them. Remember Athens, Tennessee (https://www.military.com/history/time-world-war-ii-veterans-overthrew-corrupt-local-government-tennessee.html).
The only other thing I can say when the government demands surrender is: NUTS!
Along the lines of, people who are isolated don’t see what’s really going on, in a lot of ways most of us still believe too much of what we are told, and don’t even realize all the ways we never did comply and definitely aren’t now:
We are far freer than we were three years ago, because we are no longer self-censoring and trying to be politically correct so we won’t get labeled.
Say ‘Merd”
Merde!
May I show you the way out?
The only way out is through.
Who are you speaking to? and yes, you may.
We are all seeing and feeling the mountain of terrible problems that bind us.
It is true that some don’t see this evil but many more of us do than before.
Sundance accurately reports and fights the depths of evil that overwhelm our country/world.
Hooray!
Others fight in their own way.
We have been able to expose some darkness but cannot stop enough of it.
We have been humbled, angered, and cut off by those few who control everything we see and do.
We share our many losses and mistakes.
But, we carry on….breathing if nothing else.
What should we do and when?
No consensus.
No way out, even.
We plan, or fight or accept the inevitable–death.
or
Maybe the solution is at hand, but we don’t quite see it clearly yet.
The unexpected event that changes everything on the battlefield is yet to happen.
Can we afford to wait or not?
Many questions, doubts, fears, prayers coexist at the moment.
But we don’t give up.
Never.
My feelings are no more accurate than yours or yours or yours.
Hello Friend.
I stand with the remnant and can easily tolerate our disagreements because we need each other now.
We are each sovereign as we were created.
We treasure our sovereignty and believe we can still build a peaceful, beautiful world.
We know we can, if this parasitic evil could just go away forever.
I have a great, huge hope that is slowly materializing.
It is hard to explain to people who have lost so much and seen so much injustice.
Me too, sometimes
But, when things get bad, evil accelerates which it is certainly doing.
Look at it.
Accelerated evil is not the smartest evil.
It is clumsy, rushed and greedy.
It is insulting, obvious and not a slick as it seemed before.
Our abuser is just having to hurry up and scream at us louder.
Abusive predators become careless and overconfident just before we leave them.
Why are the bad guys speeding towards the destruction of all beauty, peace and sanity?
Because they do not value or understand beauty, peace or sanity and cannot tolerate it in any form.
What is at the goal of their operation?
We know the answer and the mask has fallen.
No more cunning plans, subtlety or new tricks to keep us controlled.
They are done.
Evil is a parasite which is ugly but still dependent on our existence.
An abuser must have a victim to torment.
The evil ones know that our collapse will mean their collapse too.
They want power over us.
We are the center of everything for them.
And yet, it is our nature is to be free.
Not a choice, our true nature.
My thoughts:
A collapse is coming that we will all experience.
Something really big that affects us individually like the parting of the Red Sea.
Our slow decline will be suddenly replaced by a “catastrophe” that destroys our enemy and amazes us.
They simply lose in the end.
It will surprise them but also us.
Biblical
Then the glory will be given to the Creator who abides in all places and things.
Merry Christmas.
Beautiful. Vague, but mysterious the way God usually acts.
Some of us see clearer than others. None adequate in themselves.
All powerless alone, yet empowered more than we know by our Creator within us.
You write with blind, yet knowing Faith. We know longer see through a glass darkly, and it will be even clearer then
Fair Warning – We will not vote ourselves out of this. That option went away with the 2020 steal.
Until this fiat money printing (which is them robbing us) and Govt’ taxation problem (also them robbing us) is resolved nothing will get better.
We still have a right to free and fair elections, we just have to demand that right.
The likely reason we don’t see the wallls/controls around us….is Stockholm Syndome.
The Kennedy assassination while still being unraveled like “Pearl Harbor” was unraveled, was called out not long after release as junk, and the group that responded is noted here:
1963 – Kennedy is Assassinated. This invented Term: “Conspiracy Theory”- Began here after inferior Warren Report outing. The clumsy and inaccurate Report, led to many Forensic Historical Analysts intimation that the CIA, was involved.
1965 – Ghosts in the Machine: by U.S. Army-psyop-division known as “mindwar”
https://vigilantcitizen.com… the-u-s-armys-psyop-division/
The ultimate goal of MindWar is to make people willingly do what they’re supposed to do, while not realizing they’ve been pushed towards that decision at every step of the way.
“For the mind to believe in its own decisions, it must feel that it made those decisions without coercion. Coercive measures used by the operative, consequently, must not be detectable by ordinary means. There is no need to resort to mind-weakening drugs such as those explored by the CIA; in fact the exposure of a single such method would do unacceptable damage to MindWar’s reputation for truth.”
Authors NOTE: Reputation for truth is directly relative to ( Whose Truth ? )
”Lord, I turn to You. My God, I trust in You. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me. No one who waits for You will be disgraced; those who act treacherously without cause will be disgraced. Make Your ways known to me, Lord; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I wait for You all day long. Remember, Lord, Your compassion and Your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me because of Your goodness, Lord. The Lord is good and upright; therefore He shows sinners the way. He leads the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth to those who keep His covenant and decrees. Because of Your name, Yahweh, forgive my sin, for it is great. Who is the man who fears the Lord? He will show him the way he should choose. He will live a good life, and his descendants will inherit the land. The secret counsel of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He reveals His covenant to them. My eyes are always on the Lord, for He will pull my feet out of the net. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone and afflicted. The distresses of my heart increase; bring me out of my sufferings. Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins. Consider my enemies; they are numerous, and they hate me violently. Guard me and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for You. God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.“
Psalms 25:1-22 HCSB
Some basic questions :
In what ways is this government abusive? Does this sound like this government?
Abuse and battery are used for one purpose: to gain and maintain total control over the victim. In addition to physical violence, abusers use the following tactics to exert power over victims:
Dominance — Abusive individuals need to feel in charge. They will make decisions for us, tell us what to do, and expect us to obey without question. Abusers treat us like a servant, child, or even as their possession.
Humiliation — In any relationship, an abuser will do everything he can to make us feel bad about ourselves, or defective in some way. After all, if we believe we’re worthless and that no one else will want us, we’re less likely to leave. Insults, name-calling, shaming, and public put-downs are all weapons of abuse designed to erode our self-esteem and make us feel powerless.
Does this government say only their experts can properly determine the “right” plan of action?
Does this government tell us that some individuals will always make the “wrong” decision and for that reason, they must make the “right” decision for everyone?
There was a time when most people thought that slavery was right and natural, while only a few poor souls thought that slavery was wrong.
Isolation — In order to increase our dependence on them, abusers will cut us off from the outside world. They may and they do, stop us from seeing family or friends, or even prevent us from going to work or school. We may have to ask permission to do anything, go anywhere, or see anyone.
* Does this government isolate (imprison) us and keep us from family and friends, censor and fire us from our jobs, or jail us if we break the rules?
Threats — Abusers commonly use threats to keep their victims from leaving. Your abuser may threaten to hurt or kill you, your children, other family members, or even pets.
* Does this government threaten us with punishment if we break its rules? Will it takes things from us, even our children, our pets? Will it even take our home if we do not pay the government’s taxes? Will it take our freedom by locking us in prison?
* Will it take things which are important to us, necessary and even precious? Will it take a loved one from us? For example, by forced military service, through hsospital and social services; or forced schooling (which separates children from their families) or separating them from us with prison?
Intimidation — The abuser may use a variety of intimation tactics designed to scare us into submission. Such tactics include making threatening looks or gestures, smashing things in front of us, destroying property, hurting our pets, walling us in or putting weapons on display. The clear message is that if we don’t obey, there will be violent consequences.
* Are we intimidated by what we see the police and military do to others on the nightly news?
Denial and blame — Abusers are very good at making excuses for the inexcusable. They will blame their abusive on others, even on the victims of their abuse. The abusers may minimize the abuse or deny that it occurred.
* Does it seem that elected officials and other government employees never take the blame for what went wrong?
The cycle of violence :
Abuse falls into a common pattern, or cycle of violence:
Abuse — The abuser lashes out with aggressive or violent behavior. The abuse is a power play designed to show the victim “who is boss.”
* Have we ever felt that government action were only meant to prove to its citizens “who is boss?”
Rationalization or excuses — The abusers rationaliz what they have done. They may come up with a string of excuses or blame the victims- anything to shift responsibility.
“Normal” behavior — The abusers do everything they can to regain control and keep the victims in the relationship. They may act as if nothing has happened, or may turn on the charm. This peaceful honeymoon phase may give the victim hope that the abuser has really changed this time.
* Does this government blame the people for its failures, for the problems in society or rationalize that the problems are simply beyond its control?
* In what ways does this government act to “keep people in the relationship” with them? For example, does this government require us to send our children to their schools? Does this government require us to get permissions, permits and licenses to build a house, practice our profession, or drive a car or ride a motorcycle? Does this government require us or our children to have permission or a passport to leave its borders? Does this government punish our children for play actions e.g. pretending to wield a hero’s sword, gun or bow and arrows?
Through all this, are communities, families and friends now larger or smaller in closeness more than ever? Or are most communities isolating themselves from the problems their fellowmen are suffering from government abuse; suspicious of each other? Intentionally isolating themselves with fewer get togethers, as well as limiting or altogether stop going to church social functions?
How do we exercise prudence and care while standing in solidarity with our fellow citizens, our families and friends, church? In what ways do we perform our duties and responsibilities steadfastly with conviction; without being the cause or influence of/in causing harm to someone else?
“We are in an abusive relationship with gov’t” is an essential insight today. It is very true and only getting worse.
3 choices:
what are we looking at? not many folks there. most everybody in USA? does not look like San Francisco?
Wow, just wow.
Incredible! The way life should be rather than the Democrats vision of society.
Yes, they need a Wafflehouse!
As PDJT said, ‘they’re not sending their best’ – not surprised its nice and peaceful there, all their criminals and needy are either already in, or on their way into our cities and towns.
Interesting how we are told that foreign born protest in our towns that we need to be inclusive and embrace “their” culture, while their actual culture sure looks like it has embraced ours if that mall is to be any example.
Btc is ripping.
No man made climate change restrictions there.

Read the comments. You’ve been told ten times on this post today.
That last line was rude.
Thanks, Sundance. You have said it many times. Once you can see the truth, you can never unsee it. Keep your faith in God, because He is the author of the truth. I sense that CTH is not long for the world, at least in its current form. But God will pull us through.
$34Trillion debt and growing fast. Of course they’re building a wall. So they can trap the money and seize it. Just like FDR seized the gold in 1933.
And they will do it again!
So good. The work, The effort. The post. Amazing. Sad. True. Inspiring. Thank you.
I’m not sure what Sundance is saying
Seems down, I get that
But it’s depressing
Breaking out of one silo is easy.
Going to be local?
Leave your cell at home.
So freeing and a big middle finger to the cabal.
You’ll find your day has so many more hours in it.
@Sundance and CTH Nation: YOU ARE HERE.

“The Gulag Archipelago was first printed in Paris in December 1973. The book landed, as Ignat describes it, like a “bomb,” exploding all remaining arguments for the Marxism that had destroyed countless millions of lives since Vladimir Lenin’s Bolsheviks stormed to power in Russia in 1917.”
“In an October 1994 speech to the Russian parliament, Solzhenitsyn slammed Russia’s new generation of politicians as “nomenklatura turncoats disguised as democrats” and described Russia’s emergence from communism as a “twisted, painful, and awkward” path.”

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every
SecurityUNIPARTY operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for examplein LeningradJanuary 6th – when they arresteda quarter of the entire cityAmericans, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The UniParty would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of OXiDen’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956Typing extremely slow. Too many CHT ads, some block the response window. Continually load again after I close them. Many redirects while reading the blog, for about the last 2 weeks. Sometimes it feels like <I’m> the one getting the DDOS. Even with VPN and masking. Guess the keystroke loggers are overworked…..
The shark and stingray ads, while pretty, are really a pain.
I uploaded Malwarebytes new Browser Guard today (already use its other services), it has stopped all the pop up ads without restricting access to all the usual sites I like to check on.
Try Ghostry No ads pop ups tracking. very fast loading.
different VPN on laptop solved the ipad problem. Likely a correlation there I didn’t see before. So much for the convenience of Apple.
I now browse CTH on Brave browser on my laptop and the interface is very clean. However, as a comparison I checked it on Safari and see what you mean. Whoa 😮
Sociopaths play mind games, get tired and move on.
Psychopaths on the other hand never get tired and play to break the target.
The target must get educated in order to win.
Know how to recognize the habits and do not play the game, it is how their arrogant flame grows if you engage.
Walking and not reacting to the mind games is where the win is. Engage in steady improvements, and ignore them, it drives them crazy
Pray for the people who know how to extinguish them.
Suggest satellite phones if you can afford one, they are point to point via the satellite. You plus your family so you can keep in touch if/when comms are shut down.
Although not private, Ham Radios is another idea for keeping in touch if all crap breaks loose & cell towers are shut down.
We treepers have inherently known the govt. is doing everything you have laid bare here SD. That’s why we searched for a place like this community. Shocking to see it so succinctly put into words but truth non the less. Question now is: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
We cannot rely on anyone but ourselves:

O Sundance Superb analysis again. Don’t know how you do it. Yes the PTB & deep state want us controlled. Worked pretty good during the Covid Plandemic scam right?
Looking back I still say why did I comply?? masks all over no gym’s churches shut?? Now it seems like madness.
Lord please help us get through this disaster of a presidency.
This crap going on under Biden is the same crap that happened under Obama….. (he blew through $10 Trillion in two terms) because it’s the same Crooks running the show.
They are spending Trillions and Trillions of dollars while the majority of people are getting poorer, not getting any of the money. Where is the money GOING?
We need a new form of currency, preferably one that cannot be printed out of thin air by crooked Politicians.
Sundance is confirming everything Our Blessed Mother Mary has said was going to happen as we approach the end-times. Her appearances at Fatima, Garabandal and Akita, Japan correctly predicted these days.
In Fatima, She said that communism would spread around the world if man continued to increase sins. That is happening now and has been for years.
In Garabandal, She said when communism returns with Russia invading parts of Europe, The Warning (The Illumination of Conscience) and the Miracle will be very soon. Conchita Gonzales, who was given this information by Our Lady of Mount Carmel in 1965, was also given the date of the miracle and told she would be alive when it happened and could announce the date 8 days before. She will turn 75 on Feb 7, 2024. I know she could live to be 100 but I believe we are looking at a few short years. I hope to be alive when the Illumination of Conscience happens, and I am 78.
At Akita, Japan, Mary said that the work of the devil will infiltrate into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals and bishops opposing bishops. This is happening right now in the Catholic Church.
The Illumination of Conscience will occur when God has had enough and for a few short minutes, each one of us will see our inner self, our soul, as God sees us so we can correct our lives. The Miracle will occur a few months later to confirm the Illumination of Conscience was real.
These supernatural events will be our final warning. Yes, we are very much in an abusive relationship with our government and the devil. The corruption of the Church, along with the media, academia, the family unit, most political leaders and the indoctrination of youth are now all on auto pilot. But nothing is impossible for God. Pray and make sure your own life is ready for your Illumination of Conscience.
Well put… I will also add that this is the Sundance I know. Still different but more elaborate.
In my world I operate in an industry highly reliant on freedom of movement and abundant inexpensive energy.
Just completed a similar journey over the last 2 weeks inside the states and it is clear as day what you are writing about Sundance.
For me, personally I align with you Sundance on the trajectory of this. I will add that I work in tech. Just had an interesting conversation today with an associate that is deep into AI.
He is liberal in politics (not marxist) but in discussing where we are headed in the next 2 years tech wise… he sounded like a member of the CTH. He stated that it is clear that in 2 years most information based middle level roles will be gone in business. Most manufacturing roles will be downsizing, and it will be a tech arms race for AI and robotics.
This is not the future… this is now.
So I asked him, “what does that mean for all the people?” He said “that is what scares me” adding that “the conversations I have been privvy too do not end well”.
Get this. You know that pic Sundance shares of the big city with the villages around it? This guy described that!
COVID19 and the vax were designed to thin the heard. They then need a major war. Goal is to get rid of the middle folks and replace them with a 3rd world servant class.
I like Sundances analogy of the 3rd chimp on the ramp… we are there.
Never Ever forget WE ARE MANY THEY ARE FEW
R.D.
You are describing an open prison, the gates of which will be locked by the communist Democrats when they successfully rig the 2024 election.
Gaza is a trial run for what they want to do to all of us. People should be careful about supporting such horror.
Yes. They tested. And many of us complied. But many of us didn’t comply with everything. For us – hindsight is 20/20 and we learn quickly. Many others are waking up. If TPTB persist there will be a bridge too far. I pray that they do not persist, for whatever reason.
But I have a question, Sundance. You specifically mention “tactical civics”. Is this your own definition/expression or do you actually mean that we should examine the organization of that name more closely? I ask because I have a neighbor involved in this organization and I have been looking for a group with whom to rally should that bridge too far materialize. If you have reservations or concerns, I am interested in learning more from you.
Do not lose hope. Sundance. Your enemies are powerful fools.
[…something more sinister is happening with their roles in our election infrastructure, beyond the censorship.

When they eventually take control over the internet, we need to have another means national mean of communication that cannot be stopped or infiltrated by them…or at least for us to be able to recognize when we are infiltrated. What will that method of communication be? This website will probably not be available.
We must stop being codependent enablers to our own isolation…..
I need an example.
