.. oh, and what was implicit and on my mind but that I didn't explicitly express, is that elections never have really mattered (at the Federal level), because of the lack of choice involved. Gingrich in '94 was somewhat of an exception to that rule, but generally speaking it's been all uniparty all the time, certainly in my adult lifetime, all the way back to at least Regan: he campained on smaller government and complained about the deficit spending, and then the first thing he does is make a deal with Tip O'Neil to bloat the military in return for allowing urban grift, exploding the debt.
Uniparty. Kleptocratic. Uniparty.  . 1980's style. Federal election never really mattered all that much, it's just that now people are finally waking up to that.Yes, I also meant to imply that previously. It could be one reason that introducing massive election fraud didn't really raise any eyebrows. Yes, well, the fact that Donny was so divisive, and that his term was so consequential, cuts both ways. The irregularities certainly raised many eyebrows, but anyone else paying any attention either deliberately looks away or unconsciously looks without seeing, precisely because of those consequences. |

yt and twitter keep deleting this video. Self-awareness level, -googleplex 
I understand why Trump angered them, but they have zero understanding about their own culpability for their internal state. It's been four years of blind rage.

Oh I see a theme developing. Must be projection.  |

Oh I see a theme developing. Must be projection. As demonstrated by the video, yes, most definitely: that is hard evidence of about a dozen anti-Trump voices encouraging mob violence that had actual and real long-lasting repercussions including death, injury and property damage on a massive scale. |

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, when all the lock downs happened, it truly caught me off guard and I immediately began to think of all the interpersonal aspects of our society, especially the more modern ones that relied so heavily on the service industry. Being in Texas, we did not experience the brunt of such decisions like others did, so I haven't been that affected and do not have such experiential angst that some might have. We live a relatively hermetic existence, though my wifey takes classes and the like while I do care giving for my mom, tutoring for my niece and nephew, and stuff and once a week head into town. To me, the shutdowns were extreme in hindsight, but I still cannot say I fully understand all the dimensions of the decision-making process it takes for massive societies, especially when they involve higher population-densities, healthcare systems and their costs, impacts on longer-term outcomes, specific parts of a population bearing the brunt, etc.
That said, I do believe that if the different fields of science do train their eyes on the actualities, I like to think we'll learn a lot. MS and PhD students are constantly looking for subjects of study. I absolutely agree that if studies on the potential negative outcomes of governments and agencies are actually silenced or shunned, then shit should hit the fan. I'm not there yet in believing we have such a massive world-wide fraud being perpetrated on 8 billion peeps.... there are just tooooo many potentials for leaks and whistle blowers in this day and age. Furthermore, what does a government have to gain from sending 1/3 to 1/2 of its peeps to abject poverty, thus destroying their entire tax base. I hope there's not a plausible answer to that! 😬 And anyhow, I do not have the bandwidth for fact-checking the explosion in conspiracies... though I am open to reading about ones that are thought-provoking in their sincerity and depth. I DO believe that if people in the free world are alarmed, then it's GREAT to have extra pissed off people willing to organize, guide, educate, and execute. To that end, other than maybe cheer leading or facilitating in the sowing of discontent, I don't see how spreading false conspiracies and lies is going to help. I do know, however, they're going to happen... and by many stakeholders in the game, including the government.
I do not tell peeps to not follow their gut instincts, though I would have them use discernment of credibility to minimize the rabbit holes and spread of misinformation. Good research and reporting is hard work, but it can be very rewarding.
To put it simply, the central bank system is failing, and many of our world elite have decided that the great reset is the answer, which of course will benefit them and leave us with worldwide socialism. (Think China on steroids.) As it applies to the pandemic, the purpose of the lockdowns is to destroy small businesses, leaving the large corporations to profit, most of which are already tied into the deep state. Hencely, we have small shops shutting down while the likes of wall mart and home depot are thriving. It very much could be that this is what is actually in progress. There is a madness that has taken over. I have never seen a Trump-led, militarily-aided American reversal of fortunes as a way forward. On the contrary, I do believe he would be opening any pathways that would either keep him in power indefinitely and/or funnel greater returns into his pocket. He's just too weak in so many ways. That said, I am not pro-Biden either.
I see government as an evolutionary unfolding, and I also sense a large number of peeps very very asleep, hoping that voting for the right party will help them awaken from their bad dream they've invested so much into. Whereas, truly awakening is the actual revolution they seek, and would likely make them a more potent agent of change than any power-junky government officials. That said, with all the mistrust and mayhem, I am certain that the powers-that-be are going to be looking for their "enemies" even more so. Wild.

On the off chance this ever happens again in your lifetime, preparation is: valves are your friends, drain what you can and drip what you can't. At least you've got push-to-fits these days! |

How do you guys reconcile all of this with SR? Having spent months researching and going in and out rabbit holes, with this new recognition of svp my interest has waned. Seeing that it all just ‘is’- perfectly perfect. ‘I’ still don’t like it but am no longer frustrated or feeling powerlessness about it. Even the mandated vaccines, I don’t want it at all but am kind of in a ‘let’s see what happens’ place now. Feels somewhat lighter. More compassion towards those that are on the other side of this yet realising that there is ‘no other side’.
