mr whitehead details much of what 'our' government has taken from us in the past year;

“The people are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power. The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will fix everything. We are the government.”—John Lennon

No doubt about it: 2020—a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for freedom—was the culmination of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decade for freedom.

Government corruption, tyranny, and abuse coupled with a Big Brother-knows-best mindset and the COVID-19 pandemic propelled us at warp speed towards a full-blown police state in which nationwide lockdowns, egregious surveillance, roadside strip searches, police shootings of unarmed citizens, censorship, retaliatory arrests, the criminalization of lawful activities, warmongering, indefinite detentions, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, police brutality, profit-driven prisons, and pay-to-play politicians were accepted as the norm.

Here’s just a small sampling of the laundry list of abuses—cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional and unacceptable—that have been heaped upon us by the government over the past two decades and in the past year, in particular........read more.......

pcr makes some excellent points in this bombing comparison;

The Nashville Bombing vs. The Oklahoma City Bombing

Paul Craig Roberts

The Nashville bombing raises questions about the Oklahoma City bombing. In 1995 the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was blown up. Allegedly, the building was destroyed by a fertilizer bomb in a Ryder rental truck parked on the street. The Murrah building had massive reinforced concrete columns, some being 3 feet thick if memory serves. The front third of the building was destroyed with columns turned to dust.

The guilty parties were allegedly Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. According to reports, the blast killed 168 people, injured 680 others, and destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a 16-block radius along with 86 cars and caused $652 million of damage in 1995 dollars.

At the time US Air Force General Partin, who had high level responsibilities for ordinance and weapons development, distributed an expert report to 75 members of the House and Senate. The report proved that the Murrah building blew up from the inside out. Many Americans concluded that the truck bomb was cover for an inside job. McVeigh and Nichols were regarded as patsies who thought they blew up the building, but their role was to direct attention away from those responsible.

General Partin’s report was quickly tossed into the Memory Hole. To get rid of the evidence the Murrah building was hauled away and buried just as the steel in the World Trade Center buildings in 2001 was sent abroad to be melted down, and an official bogus report was issued like the 9/11 official reports. Instead of a real investigation, we got a controlled explanation.

Twenty-five years after the Oklahoma City Bombing we have another bomb in a vehicle parked in the street in front of a building. This time the building is an AT&T building. The parked vehicle with the bomb is a RV.

When the RV bomb went off, 3 people were injured, and building damage seems to be limited to blowing out windows. Clearly, there is no structural damage comparable to the Oklahoma City bombing.

Why? Was the RV bomb just an oversized firecracker? Or was General Partin, clearly an expert, correct when he concluded that the Murrah Federal building was blown up from the inside out?.....https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/12/29/the-nashville-bombing-vs-the-oklahoma-city-bombing/

the videorebel is speaking in this essay about money troubles many of us have been anticipating for some time, and more;

Why am I so confident about spiking prices for cryptocurrencies, silver and gold? Because The US M1 Money Supply rose from $3.963 trillion on December 30, 2019 to $6.742 trillion on December 28, 2020. That is a growth of $2.782 trillion in a year. That is an M1 Money Supply growth rate of 70.1% per year. M1 Money Supply is defined as cash, coins, checking account, NOW accounts and Traveler’s checks.

Investors have decided to realize profits and pay taxes under the Donald Trump regulations and tax rates. Those asset sales have ballooned the M1 Money Supply. So what happens in January? Even if the Congress revolts and elects Trump to a second term on January 6th, I doubt that investors will pile $2.7 trillion into the stock market. I found this little tidbit on the Internet: “The current S&P500 10-year Price/Earnings Ratio is 33.89. This is 72% above the modern-era market average of 19.6, putting the current P/E over 1 standard deviation above the modern-era average.”

There is one other growth market and that is real estate in areas where urban dwellers are fleeing to from covid lockdowns and high taxes in Big Cities and white liberal governors. In particular lots of people have been buying property in rural areas in preparation for societal collapse and possible Civil War.

Spiking prices for silver and gold and mining shares will stampede Central Bankers to diversify out of US Dollars in their reserve accounts to gold. Central Bankers will have to calculate how many hundreds of billions in reserves are they willing to lose by holding Dollars. The conversion of Central Bank assets form Dollar to Gold Reserves will spike prices even higher.........read and watch more....

reality in one clear picture;

if you think biden/trump was a bad 'choice' presented by 'our' political system, just wait till its harris/haley and then i think its past time for either revolution or suicide, as caitlin makes clear though i'm being a bit expansive in my metaphor;

Psychopathic neocon Nikki Haley is greasing the wheels for her 2024 presidential campaign by screaming that America has been taken over by socialism.

“2020 was the year socialism went mainstream,” Haley tweeted today. “The dangerous ideology, which has failed everywhere it has been tried and ruined countless lives, is on its way to becoming the default economic policy of the Democratic Party. This terrifying trend threatens the future of every American.”

Ah yes, America. The country where Republicans spend all day screaming that socialism is happening and Democrats spend all day making sure it never does.

Meanwhile, outside of Nikki Haley’s magical fantasy world where Joe Biden is ushering in a Marxist world order and Bernie Sanders is personally guillotining billionaires in Central Park, Americans are being denied financial support and healthcare even as millions are thrown out of work during the pandemic..........read more........
