Thank you friend. Much is brewing here in flyover country. It isn't possible for people to vote our way to freedom. But we also don't really care about Mordor-on-the-Potomac aka the District of Corruption. Yes they borrow and steal $6 trillion a year. But we don't get roads, bridges, railways, or stable currency.
So what happens when they put a clown in the palace? The clown doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus.
Who cares who is ringleader? When the tent comes down, everyone gets a face full of dirt.
As a brass player myself, I keep playing (usually by myself) simply because there are songs I have written that only I can keep alive. They are like my friends, or my children. I live in Portland too. Maybe I will take up playing reveille, at 5 or 6 am, and see how long it takes for someone to call the police on me.
Black pill, that's a good one. Any one with eyes open would see it that way. I only remain semi sane by looking at it as a clown show. At age 80, I haven't got too much to lose and it's jazzed up the ending.
I understand being black pilled. How can anyone not be, when taking a clear eyed gaze at the landscape. But, having grandchildren that I love dearly, the thought of the horrors we’re leaving them keeps me (very) cautiously optimistic that We the People will finally martial our Courage and rectify this mess.
As I read on a bumper sticker a looong time ago: it’s ok to dream, just don’t slobber on the pillow.
I couldn't agree more, all the way down the line. Futility of voting (I don't), And this re 2/3 and 1/2 the country:
"Perhaps they know they can get away with their crimes because two-thirds of their subjects are too ignorant, stupid, passive, drugged up, diseased, and perpetually distracted to know or care about the history unfolding before their eyes. It helps them to keep the American people in such a useless state.
But there is one specific group that has a larger target on its back. There are bounties on Ultra MAGA heads now.
It stays home and shuts up or it gets the DC Gulag again.
The other half of the country that doesn’t have a target on their backs openly celebrates this new form of police state justice that they believe is legitimate justice.
It takes willful ignorance not to see it."
And Yglesias POS (609 likes as of 6-15, horrifying stat!) actually wrote this CRITICIZING DT, the father of the death shot, for not pushing it harder, and of course the Jan 6 trope:
"But for my money, the most morally shocking thing about Trump’s post-presidency is still the extent to which he sullenly refused to be a constructive player in promoting Covid vaccination in 2021.
A very large number of people — Trump voters — got sicker than they might have because of this, and a bunch of them died. And I think that’s a crucial fact about Trump that tends to be overlooked despite the volume of coverage he attracts." "The awful events of January 6, 2021, remain the core example of this."
I've been looking at demographics to explain how it works:
It all boils down to demographics.
33% of the world is (are) under 20 years of age. Most are fresh out of government school, ready to obey, ill-informed and ill-equipped to be self-sufficient or capable of critical thinking. If schools really taught critical thinking, critical thinkers would get the hell out of there.
30% are between 20-39 freshly duped, hungry for action, and ready to produce the next generation of dupes. Dropouts and graduates that didn’t join a gang, deal drugs, become addicts or shoot up the school, might be smart enough to become an engineer designing WMD’s or other lethal weapons for the MIC, a Big Pharma pharmacist dispensing legal deadly and debilitating drugs, a tech head censor on Twitter, YouTube or Meta, an MD pushing dangerous drugs or sex reassignments, a journalist promulgating fake news, or join the military to become an unwitting merc for the Imperial State. The worst of the worst become politicians, a close second worse occupy the countless offices of titanic state bureaucracies.
23% are between 40-59 beginning to wise up but fighting among themselves over the false alternative of which political establishment (government) will rule their lives.
14% are over 60 mostly wised up but too few, too old and too irrelevant to change anything.

To vote is well, a fantasy on the continent of collectivism. To think it all transpired so unnoticed by so many for so long? I awoke in 2012 because I first started to pay attention, I am to blame as much as anyone.
I here housing prices in Finland have dropped a few points GC, if you’re still planning, let it ride for awhile, they seem to be suffering from collectivism of their own over their. Imploding thy country for the NATO express….
Tough piece to read, all too many truths, thank that which moves through humans that makes one get up and play taps daily and may some ray of light pierce this dark place with each one whose frequency become untouchable. It's possible. Thank you.
You would be better off voting for Charlie Brown, and yes I voted for Trump in 2020, not in 2016, I just couldn’t vote for him then. I only voted for him in 20 to let WA state know where and who I am…. I feel silly in retrospect, I am already on many lists I am sure…
The deep state relies on trump votes if your really think about it
I did the same in 20 and 16. I don't regret the vote, as I figure I have been on such lists since 2008 because of my online writing....though also as Trump is unapologetic about the total lie that was covid policy, he is not going save America.
"They function out in the open, as if on a theatre stage before full lights. They bounce from stage right, to stage left, offering a different performance of the same script to show that Lady Justice hasn’t just been robbed of her blindfold, they’ve bent her over and invited every sick spook over for a gang bang."
That. Is fantastic TGC. Thank you.
... But for all its undeniable truth, this statement is both:
1st: a bit depressing - like this daily and very brief feeling while waking up in the morning of "Pffttt...fuck...honey, this was the most fucked-up and detailed nightmare I ev..., you see, all the world's .gov went nuts and acted as medical-fascists and people pretended that nuthin' and ..." and at that moment "honey" turns around in bed wearing two (2) Triple-Black Charcoaled, Double Aluminium soupoudre-PCB-infused N95s, which reminds you that in order to even have a chance at saving those you love and care most, you will have to pretend and play along with them and most of the others, but just for another day; that is until you figure out a way out of this mess in time. and the clock is most definitely ticking. ... - depressing ...
and 2nd: a good remainder that we have our work cut out for us!
And if I may, lets not forget the grand-daddy: [and again in 1969]!
I don't believe you predicted who would win in 2024, but I would put my money on JB (if he doesn't croak or stroke) because the fix is in. Yes, as you said, they've got the goods on him to make sure he does their bidding. Investigations mean squat as long DOJokers is calling the shots.
I need to see more of Joe's handlers' announcement or intentions before I ink my prediction down, because I'm not yet certain he's running. When that gets squared away I'll publish the good Citizen 2024 Fix guide.

That gives me a big chuckle this AM. Thanks for that Jacquelyn.
Oh my God, what an awesome post. I just went from red to black pill.

It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. GC

All true. As an FU to the Deep State though, I will vote for Trump, though if he is in 24/7 solitary Federal prison....
You would be better off voting for Charlie Brown, and yes I voted for Trump in 2020, not in 2016, I just couldn’t vote for him then. I only voted for him in 20 to let WA state know where and who I am…. I feel silly in retrospect, I am already on many lists I am sure…

I’ll vote for Trump regardless, even if I have to write it in. It’s my vote and I still vote for my choice. And never ever vote for a Democrat.
Solid work! Sad but you nail it!

What color pill does big pharma market for invented disease number 3,557? Which by the way is TDS. Orange I'm guessing.
TDS is a real thing that cuts both ways:
Going Left you get Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Going Right you get Trump Delusion Syndrome
Orange Man is a 2fer for TPTB.
