Today I’m going to try to follow on from yesterday’s How Liberals Win. In that piece I looked at a story about some of the well meaning parents who are desperately—and, let’s face it, against formidable odds—attempting to restore to their local government schools something resembling what normal people would consider sanity. These parents, welling meaning as they may be, typify the advanced state of decay of American civic life: Until the ‘pandemic’ these decent seeming people, incredibly to me, basically couldn’t be bothered to take an interest in what the government schools were doing with their kids most of the day most every day.
"The only real hope appears to lie in a massively transformed Legislative Branch with a mandate for fundamental reform. "
I'm sorry, but the Deep State, led by the IC (especially the FBI) seems no longer to have any interest in legislation.
Much as I hate to say it, I think the only real hope lies in civil war. This era will go down in world history as one of the worst preventable tragedies ever.
We're already at war. It's 4th Generation Warfare and the good news is it's not a shooting war, the bad news is a lot of people are going to die nonetheless and the bad guys have a huge head start on the good guys. But the bad guys are running out of time to turn a corner, as more and more of the vaxxed succumb to the pathogen(s) injected into their bodies it will become obvious and unavoidable to more and more people first hand what's going on, and the info campaign will lose its effectiveness as fear of the visible jab effects overtakes fear of the invisible covid.
I’m hearing a lot of disbelief on how things are in the US. A lot of red pilling.
And Trump is still out there.
I have little hope in the corporate world doing anything. There has been done retreat on crt. The problem is the leadership all comes from the same brain washing higher education.
Longer term red states are going to continue to do better than blue states, and people will move. With the Soros funded prosecutors making blue areas more unlivable and destroying the local economy, it’s accelerating.
The vaccine mandates and Covid censorship are fragile Overton windows, along crt. Inflation and shortages are huge.
My guess is the us is already in a recession, and it’s going to get worse. Consumer confidence is nose diving.
I'm eager to believe that. From a personal standpoint, some recent news items locally have led me to suspect that there is a fair amount of flat out false information being pushed out.
Thanks for putting this great piece together, Mark. It is reassuring to see the Italians standing up for their own freedom and it is an example I hope we emulate. This is what I would have expected from them, from the beginning. Interesting how political promises of unity (in whatever form) invariably end up being divisive. It was such with the EU as a whole.
We don't have an EU to deal with in the U.S., thankfully. What we do have is a compromised voting system, a bought and paid for government (and not by us), and a bunch of liars for representatives (of both parties). As long as politicians like Biden can boldly state "I don't need your votes to get elected, I need your support after I am elected," we can kiss whatever power and freedoms we thought we had goodbye. Is that why Dem politicians in particular are rubbing their tyrannical actions in our faces? Do they already know they can do whatever they want to us without fear of us? Virginia will be interesting to watch.
"The only real hope appears to lie in a massively transformed Legislative Branch with a mandate for fundamental reform. Nothing short of that can upend the now entrenched positions of the Left within our societal institutions. Will the continuing chaos of the Zhou regine lead to that result a year from now?"
Oh how I love that dogged optimism bordering on flights of fancy. No, once an authoritarian regime seizes power like this they are never dislodged by elections. It will take massive civil disobedience, strikes, work stoppages, boycotts, and mass protests similar to what we see in Italy and the kind that brought the Berlin wall down.
And that's the best case scenario. Should the Regime refuse these tactics and resort to force.. well, turbulence ahead as they say.
Mark, thanks so much for your extraordinary diligence bringing, each day, the priorities practicing citizens should be made aware of. You put all the rest to shame, quite often!
Well, this that you serve up today, is like an "all you can eat buffet" so the best here, shared, are two links, a lobster tail and a creme de menthe parfait, if you will.
Whatever, they are relevant to this discussion because, most recent, immediate developments in Poland counter the subservience promulgated by Bergoglio in Italy (since he made Pence a "hero" after all shortly before COVID was unleashed).
Then, the sermon by Father Meyer exposes just how long parents have been duped into allowing MSM and Hollywood to baby sit their kids. Just in case we scratch our heads asking, "How did this happen?!" Little did parents realize the evils of Sesame Street and Hollywood.
The Virginia governor's race may well provide the final clue as to which direction the country is ultimately tending. It seems like a good weather vane; a 'purple' state (commonwealth) with an explosive event (rape) involving government schools, transgender insanity, school officials attempting to bury the crime and failing to report it, blaming the victim's father, etc., all in the middle of deep blue Loudon County.
DJL, As a resident of Northern Virginia for nearly 3 decades, I would be shocked, albeit pleasantly, if Glenn Youngkin wins the VA governors race. Youngkin, while seemingly not a conservative, is certainly preferable to Clintonista Terry McAuliffe but I simply don’t see that happening in any way, shape or form even with all of the recent events which you enumerated. I’ve watched too many state and National election returns held up by late reporting by Fairfax county which magically without fail turns out enough votes literally at the eleventh hour for the democratic candidate to win comfortably. If somehow Youngkin pulls it out, I’ll gladly put my cynicism away for a bit.
Good piece on Bannon's War Room on this from the Oct 19 show. John Frederick (I believe) was on talking about Virginia elections. His basic info was a) despite public statements, the RNC fully understands 2020 was stolen, b) they are using Virginia to test a new bevy of fraud prevention measures, c) they have high quality election lawyers on retainer and hotline to intervene quickly if bad stuff is spotted (unlike any R in 2020), and d) if it works, they plan to use this formula in other states in 2022. Frederick seemed surprisingly optimistic about these steps.
I'll admit I was skeptical about any counter measures given the depth and multi-threaded nature of fraud observed in 2020. Frederick, however, was decently convincing. Steps included trained R poll workers at multiple steps where they may have been absent before (adjudication, counting mail-in ballots), a 24 hour hotline to call lawyers on any suspicious activity (e.g. getting kicked out of polling places or vote counting), 24 hour surveillance of ballot drop boxes, stymying/challenging multiple last minute attempts by Dems to change voting requirements (e.g. removal of second signature requirements for absentee ballots which while a small thing on the surface, makes scale fraud harder), etc. Couple this with a info I heard that the VA GOP has worked to remove 200K bad names from voter rolls leading up to this point, and you can at least see effort in place that simply wasn't there in 2020.
I doubt anyone on this discussion believes there won't still be cheating, including myself. That said, I was heartened by the investments being made to cut off avenues of input for paper ballots to support vote count manipulation. If your watching all the doors, it's a little harder to sneak in a 300K vote adjustment at 3AM.
Last thing I'll add is Terry's campaign doesn't look like the campaign of someone who knows - no matter what - he's covered by fraud. I'm still prepared to be disappointed, mind you, but these signs point in a better direction.
I know. I lived in Falls Church when I was stationed in DC and still remember all of those Kerry signs driving to work during the 2004 election - and not one 'W' sign, mind you. In this election, however, the poll internals are showing not only independents deserting McCauliffe but also suburban women. Will it be enough to counter the anticipated voter fraud? We will know in due time. But you can tell how nervous the Dems are by their petitioning 'blackface' Northum to change the rule on mail-in voter verification with voting already underway...
Watch for signs of election fraud. In California, Newsom's recall vote stank to high heaven.
I wonder what it will be like to live in a country where everybody knows the elections are rigged, and the corrupt institutions all turn a blind eye. Will anything change?
I mean, what's it going to be like when 80% will say it out loud? When the only ones keeping up the pretense are the ones paid to do so? Will the levees still hold?
I think it's probably higher than your 56% already. It's just that those who profit from the fraud pretend, in mixed company, that it's not there. Lately they doth protest too much on that issue, so we get cringey embarrassments like http://accountability.gop/trump-lost-billboard-campaign/. What happens when a super-majority visibly no longer buys it ?

Ironically for me the glimmer of hope comes from widespread opposition to Biden from young people. That includes getting jabbed

A massively transformed Legislative Branch?
Not if Mitch and Thune have any say in it.

What do you mean, you wonder? That IS the country we live in now. (Ok, only 56% know it. Close enough for government work)
I mean, what's it going to be like when 80% will say it out loud? When the only ones keeping up the pretense are the ones paid to do so? Will the levees still hold?
