When that was abandoned, we CHOSE a well- worn path, described in ROMANS 1. "...we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made ONLY FOR A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams, founder and second president The youth of today don't even know what we've lost so how can they "turn it around".

I kinda feel like I’m slinking around in the shadows right now trying to get a good idea of exactly what is going on and even though I have my own theory’s I just can’t get a complete picture… I see a lot of evil and darkness out there but at the same time I also see so much warmth and understanding. These forces appear to be competing with each other in a game of spiritual chicken but in many ways I feel like if many of us are able to let go of this fight, depending on the fight being against the dark forces that a lot of that tension would extinguish itself. Unfortunately for now I think we are sort of stuck in a sort of vortex or circular pattern BUT it’s going to work it’s way to the surface eventually. Tough times ahead. We seem to be or have already chosen particular sides. The darkness is heavily invested in making sure positive energies are kept tempered and low. Confusion is everywhere and many people seem to be mind boggled and lost in it. It will pass. Something will be born out of it. I’m 42 and I’m not so sure I will get to enjoy the renaissance but I sure as hell will always side with the side of light and make every effort at my disposal to make my experience about just that. |

I also believe in miracles and yes, it will take a few of those to get things headed in the right direction. People have been through world wars and survived to see a prosperous future.

I believe there is a WH operation, and part of that operation, unfortunately, is to allow all this to happen to awaken those very libtard morons you speak of because so many are still astonishingly blind to what's right in front of their faces. I say 'unfortunately' because those of us who know what's going on have to have our suffering extended as a result of the 'blind'. Once Reps win the midterms and conservative legislation is reformed all over the country, those who choose not to see the light and reform themselves, will also have the option of offing themselves. I believe we will have military rule for a while because the corruption will take decades to fully weed out, but we will be able to get back to a civilized world much soon. Fingers crossed. |

[...] what say you? I would say that you are simply still a sleeping sheep. You can see that in the inner contradictions that you present. These inner contradictions arise from the fact that you are programmed so deeply and on an emotional level to 'the system' (especially patriotism and supremacy) and its alleged righteousness that even when you realize that it is probably your enemy, you still want to strengthen or at least reform it. Reforming means in the first place that you dream of restoring the state where it does not create cognitive dissonance in you. Your problem therefore consists above all in the fact that you have not understood the political and economic structures of power, but rather focus on the systemic lies in which you would like to believe again (freedom, constitution, democracy, rule of law, human rights, etc.) Therefore, it is also not clear to you that those who withdraw the energy from the system, e.g. by no longer working, are doing exactly the right thing and ultimately also the only thing that they can do, without the use of violence, to defeat the enemy and to actually drain the swamp. So what we're talking about here is primarily a psychological problem. It is clear to me that you basically know that the whole facade democracy and also the controlled capitalism, with its fiat counterfeit money, are a big fraud, but what you obviously don't realize is that you still want to believe in 'the system' at all costs, because otherwise your own life lies will be exposed and you yourself will be internally destabilized in the process. This is so bad for many that they prefer to pretend that organized crime can be persuaded to turn into saints and lead the country to collective happiness in the future as selfless, moral and fatherly leaders of the nation. This phenomenon is always very evident with those who are just waking up to the fact that the same elite is behind the two U.S. parties and that there is absolutely nothing for them to vote for. These are the very people who then tell you that you urgently need to fix the problem by voting the right way in the future. That's how I read your displeasure, with the state of the nation. Very well said! |

Quoting: Loup Garou By: Alexander Tyler a professor of history at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland, 1887. “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.” “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith; 2. From spiritual faith to courage; 3. From courage to liberty; 4. From liberty to abundance; 5. From abundance to complacency; 6. From complacency to apathy; 7. From apathy to dependence; 8. From dependence back to bondage.” Our next step is Dictatorship eh?
