i think this essay could be referred to as the obituary of the republic;

Sure! We know you have been told otherwise. You thought you were free because your rights are natural rights, a gift from the almighty. Those rights aren’t derived from the power of government. That would be contrary to all of the utterances of philosophers since Plato and Aristotle. 

But just because a bunch of well-heeled white men set up a framework of government a couple of hundred years ago that established individual rights, doesn’t change the fact that for the last 100 plus years or so you have been hoodwinked, conned and lied to about where your rights were derived. Perhaps it was just all a dream with no substance, to back up the false claim that somehow you are actually free of the yoke of government because God granted you certain unalienable rights. What is the real truth?

The fact is, government owns you lock, stock and barrel and you can’t do one damn thing about it, short of going to war. You are an indentured slave but you just don’t know it. In 245 years that framework of freedom designed by some pretty bright white men has been so bastardized by socialist Democrats (Progressives) as to be essentially unrecognizable. It was a joke anyhow, wasn’t it, really? (See: “Yes, White Men Built America. It’s A Fact”)

If you still believe you are “free” you are living in a fantasy world of your own making. Government has constrained you. Government regulates everything you do. Government steals your earnings through the legalized theft of taxation. Government tells you what you can do and where you can do it. Government regulates your money, your land, your water, your health care and your life. It regulates what you can drive, who can drive and where you can drive.

If you want to drive a car run by gas, government tells you that you must drive a car run by electricity and raises the price of gasoline to force you to drive an electric car. In the process government mandates that gasoline-driven cars have to go, along with all fossil fuels and then proceeds to limit the electricity that runs your electric car by forcing intermittent wind and solar upon you. On top of that government requires you to subsidize the wind and solar power with your tax dollars. Energy prices have and will skyrocket under these conditions.....read more.........

 the lead snip in this article by mr whitehead presents evidence that we don't live in the land we tell ourselves we do and haven't much left of the legal protections. this snip is not the usual beginning of an article but a more salient one from further into it;

In other words, if we no longer have the right to voice concerns about COVID-19 mandates, if we no longer have the right to tell a Census Worker to get off our property, if we no longer have the right to tell a police officer to get a search warrant before they dare to walk through our door, if we no longer have the right to stand in front of the Supreme Court wearing a protest sign or approach an elected representative to share our views, if we no longer have the right to protest unjust laws or government policies by voicing our opinions in public or on social media or before a legislative body—no matter how politically incorrect or socially unacceptable those views might be—then we do not have free speech.

What we have instead is regulated, controlled speech, and that’s what those who founded America called tyranny.

On paper, we may be technically free.

In reality, however, we are only as free as a government official may allow.

As the great George Carlin rightly observed: “Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. Sooner or later, the people in this country are gonna realize the government … doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety… It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing. Keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.”

In other words, we only think we live in a constitutional republic, governed by just laws created for our benefit..........read more......

 i'm unsure if i'm amazed, appalled or both at the description of the events of 1/6 as an insurrection but in any case it was a mouse that roared and nothing else. this writer presents some pointed thoughts about that situation that will lead towards more trouble for many of us;

If enough people say something often enough, it becomes “true.” Big media and people at the highest levels of government now accept that the Capitol takeover of January 6 was an “armed insurrection” by “white supremacists.” A few eccentrics wonder how you can have an “insurrection” with no plan and no weapons, but virtually everyone has swallowed the story about “white supremacists.”

As for “insurrection,” even the Republican lawyer Michael van der Veen, who defended Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, said something MSNBC called “obvious”: “The question before us is not whether there was a violent insurrection of the Capitol. On that point, everyone agrees.” Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is one of a very small number of politicians who doesn’t. He pointed out that the mob wasn’t armed, and that a three-hour occupation is not an “insurrection.” Media ridiculed him, with an MSNBC contributor writing, “Let’s take a minute to unpack this, because while I tend not to expect much from Ron Johnson, this is extraordinary, even for him.”

An indignant CNN articled listed the “arms” the “insurrectionists” used: “a baseball bat, a fire extinguisher, a wooden club, a spear, crutches, a flagpole, bear spray, mace, chemical irritants, stolen police shields, a wooden beam, a hockey stick, a stun gun, and knives.” Not even comic-opera coup-plotters in Upper Volta or Rio Muni would try to overthrow a government with bear spray and pocket knives.

One of the few journalists who scoffs at the “armed insurrection” tale is Glenn Greenwald. He writes: We know that “no Trump supporter fired any weapon inside the Capitol and that the FBI seized a grand total of zero firearms from those it arrested that day . . . .” He adds that there were “no known cases of the rioters deliberately killing anyone,” and “no evidence anyone intended to assassinate Mike Pence, Mitt Romney or anyone else.”.........read more........

More Evidence the US Fought WWII Against Great Britain

Paul Craig Roberts

Yesterday (March 8, 2021) I reported that my conclusion from David Irving’s two volume Churchill’s War (a third volume is expected) is that Washington fought World War II against the British. Confirmation of this is provided by Michael Hudson’s book, Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire, whose expanded 50th-anniversary edition is to be published this May.

In the fifth chapter, “Lendlease, the British Loan and Fracturing of the British Empire, 1941-45,” Hudson shows that British desperation for financial means with which to conduct war was taken advantage of by Washington in order to destroy the British Empire.  

“Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. and his staff negotiated with Britain the terms on which America would provide support. Their aim was to help Britain against Germany, but not help it recover its position as world banker, for it was seen not only as a friendly belligerent in need of arms credit but as a potential rival.  The U.S. negotiators were single-minded and unyielding.”  The aim was “American financial hegemony.” One of the steps taken was to strip Britain of her overseas investment holdings of its large companies. Britain had to nationalize the private companies and put them up for sale abroad.

“To U.S. officials, what was being decided were the terms for just how the dollar would end up replacing sterling as the world’s leading currency. When Britain’s negotiator Frederick Phillips reached Washington in December 1940, he found that Morgenthau “insisted that the British should turn their pockets ‘inside out’ and give him full details of their assets in the United States and Latin America, and what they were willing to take for them.” Morgenthau “started putting pressure on the British to sell off their big American companies – Shell Oil, Lever Brothers and Brown & Williamson Tobacco,” and on January 28, 1941, promised the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: “If Lord and Lady Astor own real estate in New York their assets will be on the auction block with the rest.” The assets that Roosevelt’s officials had been unable to get the British government to requisition from its citizens and sell off to U.S. buyers to settle its World War I debts now would be sold to pay for arming itself and fighting World War II............read more.....

 president obamala harris will be the large increase in troubles for the majority of us, and its hard to imagine how long the illusion of slow joe will be maintained. the videorebel provides some insight on our near future;

Kamala Harris was elected District Attorney of San Francisco in 2003. She ran against the incumbent DA Terence Hallinan who had developed child molestation cases against 40 current and former Catholic priests.

The cases involved hundreds of boys. Kamala Harris saw the opportunity and seized it. She went to Catholic donors and raised money for her campaign. The alternative was for the archdiocese to pay out lawsuits after the criminal cases had been adjudicated. This would have bankrupted the church. So for pennies on the dollar Kamala Harris was willing to drop the charges against 40 pedophiles. Hence, I think she richly deserves the hashtags PedoQueen and PedoDefender.

We need to increase resistance. We are at a low point. The Deep State stole the presidential election and have set in motion their plans for a Great Reset which means that in 2030 Uber Billionaires will own everything and we will have nothing if they allow us to live. The World Economic Forum at Davos told us we will rent our homes, our cars and even the clothes we wear from the Power Elite. We will be chipped. The Deep State will replace dollars, pounds and euros with DigiCash. The Deep State can take the money out of our DigiCash account anytime for any reason. Currently, we can be sent to Facebook jail for questioning corrupt authority. By 2030, they could block us from buying and selling, from working, from traveling and from saying anything mildly critical of anyone in power.

The pendulum will start swinging the other way so we must be prepared. Food prices will begin to soar. I know Biden is not bright enough to understand what he did to sell us out to China. It will cripple American families by the summer of 2021. Kamala Harris also supports Biden’s reversal of Trump’s decision to block Chinese access to our power grid. Her Jewish husband has extensive business connections to the Chinese Communist party.........read and watch more.......

 what do you think the chances are of this being our reality;

 caitlin says fuck all royals in this essay and includes several layers of royal you may not have considered;

Fuck all royals. Take back everything they’ve stolen and give them minimum wage jobs and regard them with nothing but disdain forevermore.

❖

Still can’t get over the fact that there’s a “queen”. She wears a crown and sits on a throne, like a fucking Tolkien character. Then a whole commonwealth full of LARPers points at her and goes “Ooh, it’s the Queen!” like a bunch of fucking nerds.

“Oh hello, I’m the Queen.” No you’re not you ridiculous nerd, your name is Liz and you’re the most expensive LARP in the world.

Royals are just oligarchs who rub your face in it...........read and watch more......
