"The ripe stink of corruption is everywhere. I trusted authority for most of my life.

Now I ask myself on a daily basis how I ignored the stench for so long."

We all are, Neil. Some more than others, but we all are.

“But because the human ego is loathe to admit it’s been duped, many patriotic Democrats will continue allowing themselves to be led like sheep into the closing noose of the hammer and sickle. By the time they realize what happened, it will be too late.”

I was always cynical. Probably waaaay too much...

1973, age 13, I knew something horribly wrong when Roe v Wade came down. Baby murder.

September 1974, age 14, when supposed Catholic nuns told us we were gonna do project on 5 great religious. Catholic Church teaches 1 true religion.

I am surprised by things, but I kinda know deception going on.

Our Lady of Fatima, lf My requests are not heeded... Russia will spread its errors...

This was in 1917. Errors of Russia? Communism. From Catholic vantage point... She was dead on.

White House, Vatican, British, almost every country. School boards, county health depts

If you are dependent on a social system in any way, you are institutionalized to some degree. In other words, I'm not sure it is ever possible to be truly free because no matter where you are or what status you have in life, there will be some rules to play by. You have some ability to choose which rules to play by (some much more than others, including those who do so unjustly). Ultimately, it is not man's rules that are the most important. My focus is accepting this notion, deciding which of man's rules I can play by, which I will not, and which rules are worth fighting against because they are simply unjust.

Freedom is the right to do what God would have you do.

People mistake license and freedom

The trouble is, who is going to be the judge of what God would have you do? This is not a question but a conundrum, and is why there is the separation of Church and State.

Separation of church and state is condemned by Catholic Church. It's not in the constitution. It's freemasonry.

So you have grave evils: pornography, abortion, divorce and remarriage, ceaseless unjust wars, covid depopulation plan, endless welfare, unjust taxes.. I could go on forever.

Hope you enjoy satan ruling the nation's. Worked out well

You appear to be utterly brainwashed. Do you not have any idea of the history of ROME and Vatican? Okay, we'll have to just agree to differ. Take care, my friend.

I never agree to disagree...

If you ever want to talk, bring up on meager substack... Catholic Church doesn't control the media... and right now doesn't even control the Vatican.

I don't mind talking with peeps I don't agree with, IF they are reasonable and courteous.

If you want to debate, with no animosity, I'm okay with that.

I think we are always free, truly free, IF we choose to be. We can only be killed once in this life, and some things are worth dying for. Non-compliance. Get outside the system and create another one, small scale, local, peacefully.

Once people keep accepting nonsense like "men can become pregnant" and "you need to be a biologist to tell the difference between a man and a woman," sooner or later they can become so ashamed that they stop thinking. After that, they are wide open for manipulation. All they monsters have to give them is a little hope in order to keep them docile, and the technocrats can do whatever they want to do to such people. Such hope usually dished out as an alternative to fear and tells people that their being informed will turn the tide:

The US Constitution was written because people as individuals DO have inalienable rights and that government tends to be hostile to those rights.

Those "in power" by and large hold that power in violation of the Constitution.

Ours is not a "federal" government but a "post federal" one.

The only question is whether or not the ballot box is sufficient for us to reclaim our inalienable rights or if we must resort to the cartridge box.

The ballot box has been replaced with easily-hacked technoscreens... fuggeddaboudit.

I don't think the cartridge box is really the best way, but the ballot box is a joke, in my opinion. According to research, what we need is 3.5% of the pop to get up and gather in large groups and peacefully say HELL, NO. More than that is gravy.

Do Not Comply. I've taken on this motto of late: Resist Not Evil: Work Around It.

(This is not to say those who are running the shit show should not be taken down. I have doubts that that can be done without violence, but they need to be taken DOWN.)

As Dr. Martin Luther King and Gandhi both demonstrated, one people begin a path of peaceful resistance and non-compliance, those with authority will quickly supply the necessary violence.

Bloodshed is not something which can be avoided. It's merely a question of whose blood and when.

I'm not trying to say we can totally avoid it. BUT, in vast numbers, over a long period of time, repeatedly, never giving up, and not complying, and effing up their attempts to control us, and to force us to do things... I just think some things are worth dying for. But to go out and BE violent just brings it all down on you very quickly, and they feel justified in killing/harming you, and other more chickeny people will think they're justified, and so on.

"In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes." -- Judges 21:25

We are always called to do the right, no matter what. Government is not the arbiter of moral right and moral wrong, we are. Each of us is ultimately accountable for what we do, and obedience to the king does not wipe away the accountability for choosing wrong over right.

If men and women will stand for what they believe is right in their own minds, the ultimate outcome will likely be bloody, but overall good.

I don't want violence, but I accept the inevitability of violence as a consequence for standing up for what is right.

I totally agree. All I'm saying is, for us to be violent AFTER attempting to be peaceful, because being peaceful brings violence down on us by the State, is different than just going out and becoming a violent mob. That's the difference I'm trying to get to, so thanks for helping me clarify that! But yeah, you said that very well.

Several years ago I made the statement that we haven't even considered one thing we absolutely must have at our peaceful protests if "THE STATE" is to begin to take us seriously.
