from a friend i post as sent with his comment;

 Unfortunately, most have found comfort in their slavery. As long as they have CNN and their cell phones they will remain content. As seen from our previous struggles it does not take a majority to prevail. 5 to 10% of the population who have had enough are ample to oust the criminals if they can be aroused to the point of action.

Here's a little post from the 60's that can relate:

An American dream

I had a dream the other night, I did not understand. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed, he slowly took off his tricorn hat, and speaking low, he said:

We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we plea, to this the home of the brave, and the land of the free!

The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you’d always keep, but tyrants labored endlessly, while your parents were asleep. Your freedom gone, your courage lost, you’re now no more than slaves. In this the land of the free and the home of the brave!

You now buy permits to travel and permit to own a gun, a permit to start a business or to build a home for one. On land that you believed your own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in choosing, how the money’s spent!

Your children must attend a school that doesn’t educate, your Christian values can’t be taught, according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, you pay a tax you do not owe, to please the IRS.!

Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold, you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make your nation, turn from God in shame, you’ve taken Satan‘s number as you traded in your name!

You’ve gave government control to those who mean you harm, so they can padlock our churches and steal the family farm. They keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupt courts prevail!

Your public servants don’t uphold the solemn oath they’re sworn, your daughter’s visit Doctors so their children won’t be born. Your leaders ship artillery and guns to far off foreign shores then send your sons to slaughter, fighting other peoples wars!

Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died or don’t you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? Are there no more values for which you’ll fight to save or do you wish your children to live in fear and shame!

PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC, arise and take a stand! defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our Great Republic and our God given rights, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!

As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came, his words were true, we are NOT free and we have ourselves to blame. But even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight!

If he stood by your bedside, in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of our rights he fought so hard to keep. What would be your answer if he called out from the grave:

IS THIS STILL THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE?

 tulsi gabbard isn't one to dance around a subject and speaks her mind clearly. i agree with her statement;

Biden chose Harris as his VP because of the color of her skin and sex—not qualification. She's been a disaster. Now he promises to choose Supreme Court nominee on the same criteria. Identity politics is destroying our country........read and watch more.......

 caitlin shows how its a curious thing to see the 'official' media and its fringes asserting things that if we had done it we'd be subject to a 'truth tester' ala facebook and its like. they are saying things and expecting you to believe them without any proof or reference to the history that got us to this place;

We’re being bashed in the face with western propaganda about the Ukraine situation with increasing forcefulness. Every day now we’re seeing things like “analysts” claiming Putin definitely wants a large-scale war, very familiar-looking puff pieces about Ukrainian guerrilla freedom fighters based on claims by anonymous intelligence sources, think pieces on why Americans should all care about Ukrainian freedom from Kremlin tyranny, and, of course, a lot of entirely unsubstantiated assertions about what Russia is doing.

Despite the British government’s evidence-free claim that Russia was planning to install a puppet regime in Ukraine being debunked within hours and then shown to be a US intelligence claim dishonestly packaged as a British one days later, mass media outlets still to this day repeat the allegation like it’s a real thing. Despite the entirely unevidenced US government claim that Russia was plotting to stage a false flag attack in eastern Ukraine failing to prove true in subsequent weeks, US Senator Bob Menendez went on CNN over the weekend and declared that this false flag which never actually, physically happened was grounds to sanction Russia effective immediately.

The US political/media class is just saying whatever it wants about what Russia is doing and planning to do with no regard for facts or evidence. Nothing is too cartoonishly hysterical; in fact the more clickbaity and attention-grabbing the better. They feel free to scattergun these outlandish claims willy nilly all over our information ecosystem because five years of Russia hysteria have taught them that they will suffer exactly zero professional consequences when they are proven wrong, and that they will in fact see their stars rise as a reward for advancing the interests of the US empire............read and watch more.......

i'd say this qualifies as election fraud proof;

 the world is finally beginning to address and admit to the reality of life in palestine;

Amnesty International is the latest human rights organization to declare Israel an apartheid state, calling for an end to the “system of oppression and domination” it imposes on the millions of Palestinians living under its rule. 

In a landmark 280-page report on Tuesday, Amnesty international accused Israel of the crime of apartheid, saying “it is a crime against humanity, and it has to end.”

Through a number of discriminatory and harmful policies like home demolitions, family separation, restrictions on freedom of movement, imprisonment and torture, Israel has met the criteria for the crime of apartheid, as it is defined under international law, the report said. Since 1948, Israel has established a set of laws and systems that are “designed to oppress and dominate Palestinians,” and are always carried out with the intent of privileging Jewish Israelis at the expense of Palestinians, Amnesty said. 

This intent to create and maintain Jewish domination over Palestinians can be demonstrated through laws that were instituted early after Israel’s establishment, that allowed for open Jewish immigration to Israel, and simultaneously prevented the Palestinian refugees form returning to their homes. 

Those policies have been continued today through the continuation of the denial of returning Palestinian refugees the right of return to their homes, and Israel’s demographic policies in cities like Jerusalem, that aim to maintain at least a 60% Jewish majority in the city. .......read more......
