i suspect its just a matter of time before we see this going all out;

A rather shocking poll highlighting the current state of the American political system was carried out over the weekend. Far worse than approval ratings plummeting, the poll revealed that there are around 100 million Americans who think that violence against the government would be “justified” in certain instances.

The poll published by The Washington Post-University of Maryland survey found a drastic increase of people with this point of view compared to previous years.

The results of the poll found that 40 percent of Republicans agreed that it would be “justified for citizens to take violent action against the government” in certain situations.

It’s not just Republicans either, according to the data, 23 percent of democrats would also justify the use of violence against the government and another 41 percent of Independents endorsed the use of violence against the state in certain situations.

Of the respondents who said violence would be justified against the government, 22 percent of them said they would take up arms for invasions of personal liberties while another 15 percent pointed to a military takeover or democratic collapse. Just 3 percent of those polled claimed that violence is justified if the government did not accept the election results.

According to the NY Post, these numbers have risen sharply in recent years. In 2015, 23 percent of Americans approved of violence against authorities, researchers said. Five years before that, 16 percent agreed — up from only 13 percent in the mid-90s.

This sharp increase is likely due to multiple factors, especially the government’s response to coronavirus. What’s more, multiple officials have seemingly been pushing Americans into a corner over the last few years and, as this poll illustrates, fight or flight appears to be kicking in........read more........

 statistics are beginning to show all but the true believers that more is happening than meets the eye;

While the mainstream media, at least in 2020, tracked deaths with the fanaticism of an insurance company, they've always lacked accuracy.  That's why it matters when a major American insurance company, which is in the business of accurate data about deaths, announces that Americans in the 18–64 age bracket are dying in unprecedented numbers.  The same data suggest that these aren't COVID deaths, which makes them much more sinister.

OneAmerica is a major insurance company located in Indianapolis with annual revenue of around $2 billion and total assets of around $74 billion.  This is not a fly-by-night internet "insurance" company.  OneAmerica is the real deal, selling both individual and group life insurance, and it has data and actuarial tables that go back 145 years.  It's also a progressive company that boasts about "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" right on its home page.  In other words, it's not some "scary" right-wing reactionary firm.

During a news conference last week, OneAmerica's CEO, Scott Davison, had a startling announcement — working-age Americans are dying in unprecedented numbers:

"We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business — not just at OneAmerica," the company's CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. "The data is consistent across every player in that business."

[snip]

Davison said the increase in deaths represents "huge, huge numbers," and that's it's not elderly people who are dying, but "primarily working-age people 18 to 64" who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.

"And what we saw just in third quarter, we're seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic," he said. ......read more.....

A challenging year

Paul Craig Roberts

I remember when 1984 was in the distant future. We wondered if our destiny was going to be Big Brother’s police state. But 1984 turned out to be the middle of the Reagan years. Liberals didn’t like Reagan’s rhetoric, but his policies worked. Supply-side economics cured stagflation, and we were working to end the cold war. It was difficult not to like a president who could quip in response to an assassination attempt on his life, “I forgot to duck.”

New ideas reinvigorated US economic and foreign policy. Our future had brightened.

Soviet President Gorbachev agreed to the reunification of Germany on the assurance from the George H.W. Bush administration that in exchange NATO would not move one inch to the East.

But the Clinton regime, with Republican Bob Dole egging them on, dishonored the word of the United States government and moved NATO to Russia’s borders, thus restarting the Cold War that Reagan and Gorbachev had ended.

In a series of lawless actions–the bombing of Yugoslavia, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the bombings of Pakistan territory–together with dismissive treatment of Russia, Washington, lost in its arrogant hubris as “the world’s only superpower,” awoke and aroused Russia and brought her out of her docility.........read more.......

 kunstler presents more thoughts and evidence on the covid hoax and where it may be going;

The year of sickening global psychosis ended with virologist and vaccine-uberspecialist Dr. Robert Malone truth-bombing the Internet with three hours of straight talk about the US health authorities’ campaign to destroy the lives of at least half a million US citizens (so far) and, leading by example, to harm multiples of that number of innocent people across all of Western Civilization. Podcaster Joe Rogan assisted skillfully in an interview that is finally rocking the world out of an epic consensus trance. (Listen.)

By health authorities I don’t just mean Dr. Anthony Fauci, the designated National SARS-CoV-2 Coordinator, or his accomplices in the Dept. of Health and Human Services agencies, CDC, NIH, NIAID, etc., but also the purblind US medical establishment of actual doctors in clinical practice, researchers, hospital administrators, and pharma executives who acted with a collective stupid malevolence not seen since the crematory-stuffers of the Nazi bureaucracy carried out their final solution.

We know what you did. You engineered and patented a gain-of-function virus at the same time you conspired with pharma companies to devise and patent pseudo-vaccines, and then you loosed both of them on the public. You didn’t just fail to adequately test the “vaccines” cooked up by Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, but you deliberately botched the trails and lied about it. You created rich $$ incentives for hospitals to mis-treat Covid patients by failing to use known, safe, effective anti-virals. You conspired with social and news media to suppress information about those common anti-viral drugs that would have informed many patient’s decisions and saved thousands of lives. You treated late-stage patients dying of Covid-induced vascular disorder with the ineffective and toxic drug remdesivir that Dr. Fauci had developed unsuccessfully for an ebola outbreak years ago. (Nurses turned so cynical about the remdesivir protocol that they nicknamed it “run-death-is-near.”) You prompted government officials to lockdown society, force useless masking, and now to coerce “vaccination” by threatening to deprive citizens of their livelihoods.........read more........
