we're fully on the way towards full feudalism in this land and unless enough of 'our fellow americans' stand up and resist its gonna be a more difficult future here in the land of the once free;

“Any society that entails the strengthening of the state apparatus by giving it unchecked control over the economy, and re-unites the polity and the economy, is an historical regression. In it there is no more future for the public, or for the freedoms it supported, than there was under feudalism.”

~ Robert Higgs

Feudal systems of the past concentrated all ownership of land, and therefore all power, away from the masses and into the hands of the ‘elite’ few. It was nothing short of a total system of slavery, and therefore, the elimination of freedom. This sounds ominous, and it is, but feudalism is exactly what is being pursued today by the ruling and political class. In this current rapidly advancing transformation toward a feudal society, there is certainly a private land takeover plot in the works, but this system being built today is based more on total control of all economies and monetary systems, in order to subdue all.

Consider without prejudice, that you are now the target of this state in that you are being controlled, and therefore owned, at every level of life, instead of being able to control your own mind, body, psyche, and destiny. This behavior by the state monsters is an atrocity in every aspect of its being. To accept any of it whatsoever, is simply an admission that you are nothing more than a slave to this heinous system, where something calling itself government, can claim false authority over you by stating openly that you only have ‘rights’ allowed to you by the state thugs. As an aside, no worthless constitution , bill of rights, or any other feigned ‘governing’ document can protect you from a totalitarian state, as should be absolutely obvious given the terror we have experienced these past three years, and long, long before........more....

November 25, 2022

What all the entrenched insiders in America's parasitic, predatory elites and institutions don't dare admit is that to protect themselves from consequence, we've had to sacrifice everything else.

Thanks to the FTX swindle, we now know the cost of a get out of jail free card in America: $40 million, paid to political elites. It seems even get out of jail free cards have suffered from inflation.

With hefty "donations" (heh) to elites, all wrong-doing is swept under a very capacious carpet. Jeffrey Epstein sprinkled a few million on the elites of Harvard, and he was ushered into this elite circle as an intimate pal. The fact that he was a rapacious predator of children was of no concern. A few million showered on the right people and causes makes evil and criminality disappear.

If a financier looter showers $40 million on "the right people," mouths the "correct" phrases and issues empty promises to give away his looted billions, he becomes an instant golden boy of the right elites who have the power to protect him from consequences.

This is how America works now: in-your-face corruption is not just accepted, it's glorified. Let's score America's wealth and power elites, regardless of party or political persuasion:......more.......

 i've been following this author for several years and have yet to find any errors in the history or coming events found in this blog, so i suggest you give full consideration to the points made herein;

Before Identity politics and social media joined forces, people used to vote their economic interests. Back in the day, Democrats used to pretend to represent the interests of union workers. They always began their fall presidential campaigns with a rousing speech in Detroit to stir up unionized workers. That was before the Clintons, Al Gore and Joe Biden passed NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) in 1993 which closed 80,000 US manufacturing plants. Obama bailed out General Motors by sending manufacturing jobs overseas so today the Democrats no longer start their presidential campaigns in Detroit.

Supposedly, we are in a post industrial society where your Identity is more important than anything tangible, such as, a job, a profession or a small business. But in reality we are in a bubble that is about to burst worldwide and not just in the US. Unfortunately, lots of foreign nations will be be taken down when the US collapses some time before November 2024.

In the 1930s Wassily Leontief did an empirical study of the American economy. He began with the outputs of extractive industries like mining, oil, timber and farming and traced those commodities to the industries that bought them and used them to make steel, gasoline, diesel and aluminum. Then he traced each layer of production to the next level. His conclusion was that America used its abundant resources and its skilled labor to add value to what they had extracted from the ground to give American workers a higher standard of living than their European brothers and sisters.

Economists after WW II discovered that Leontief’s rosy description of America was completely undone when the Elite had pushed our population past 150 million and we had to start importing raw materials for industry..........more........

It Seems Russia Won’t Require a Winter Offensive to Win the War

Paul Craig Roberts

Moon of Alabama has proven to be a reliable source of reporting on the conflict in Ukraine.  The posting of November 23 indicates that some part of the Russian government or military has finally realized that Russia is at war.  You can read the account here:  https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-lights-out-no-water-and-soon-no-heat-.html 

The eight-month old Kremlin policy of protecting Ukraine from attack, thus helping Ukraine to conduct war against the Russian forces, seems to have come to an end.  The infrastructure–power, transportation, water–of Ukraine is being shut down.  The real war Russian attacks on Ukraine’s ability to function have gradually escalated, resulting in wider and more serious damage.  It seems that the Russians don’t want to destroy everything unless the West and its puppet Ukraine government fail to come to their senses.  

The Western whore media, of course, doesn’t report the true situation.  The Western presstitutes are a propaganda ministry and have created a picture of Russian defeat.  It would be difficult to identify the worst liar in the Western media as there are endless candidates, but the UK Telegraph’s Charles Moore is a leading candidate for posting the most far-fetched reports:  See, for example,” Vladimir Putin’s only hope now is to terrify the West into negotiating away Ukraine’s victories.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/18/vladimir-putins-hope-now-terrify-west-negotiating-away-ukraines/   The Telegraph also tells us that “Ukraine could reach Crimea by Christmas”  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/11/19/ukraine-news-russia-war-latest-putin-missiles-severodonetsk/?li_source=LI&li_medium=liftigniter-rhr

The Irony of All Ironies

Paul Craig Roberts

The state of Florida recently enacted legislation against teaching “critical race theory” in Florida public schools and universities.  Critical race theory amounts to indoctrinating white kids into the belief that they are racist, because being a racist is what it means to be white.  The white population in Florida who foot the tax bill for public education don’t like paying for brainwashing their kids with the belief that the kids and their parents are racists.

A couple of leftwing freaks, Adriana Novoa, a professor at the University of South Florida, and a student, Sam Rechek, sued the state of Florida in federal court claiming that the law is government censorship. US federal district judge Mark Walker, a highly partisan Democrat and Obama appointee, has blocked enforcement of the law.

In ordering an injunction blocking enforcement of the law, Judge Walker said that the law struck “at the heart of open-mindedness and critical inquiry.”  He accused the government of Florida  of “taking over the marketplace of ideas to suppress disfavored viewpoints,” thereby limiting what professors could teach.

Think for a moment about the utter absurdity of what this highly partisan Democrat “judge” has said.  Do universities have speech codes?  Yes.  Do these speech codes “suppress disfavored viewpoints,” thereby limiting what professors can teach and students can say?  Yes.  Are these speech codes that “strike at the heart of open-mindedness and critical inquiry” enforced by the universities?  Yes. Are the speech codes discriminatory in their application?  Yes.  Whose speech is limited?  Whites.  What speech is limited?  Truthful statements that “aversive racism”–the doctrine that whites are racist regardless of intention–is false, and that gender is biologically determined and not self-selected.  ........more........

 so far klaus schwab has been creating troubles and this shows where he intends to take us with a worldwide 'truth';

The World Economic Forum announced June 29 2021 it will initiate a new “public-private partnership” with Big Tech and governments around the world to identify and uproot all opinions from the Internet that it considers “harmful.”

The WEF is one of those elitist organizations that wields enormous influence over the elected leaders of Western nations but which almost nobody in the general population has heard of.

Its members are internationalist corporate honchos and technocrats who meet once a year in Davos with the stated goal of working to “shape global, regional and industry agendas.”

It made a big splash last year with its highly touted “Great Reset,” which promises to use the pandemic as an “opportunity” to crash the world’s dollar-based, capitalist economic system and “build back better” under a more socialist and globally integrated system that mirrors the United Nations Agenda 2030 goals for Sustainable Development.  

Any politician you hear using the term “build back better” [Biden-Harris-Trudeau-Johnson repeat this mantra daily] you know has drunk the poisonous Kool-Aid of the World Economic Forum and its founder, Klaus Schwab [pictured below]........more..........
