Guest Contributor – Chemist – 21JAN2024 – My Version of 2024

Or, the normies realize that rule of law is dead. After watching rioters get away with Burn, Loot, Murder while it is called peaceful protest and real peaceful protestors get decades long sentences for years – coupled with blatant election fraud for 2 national elections in a row they will have to realize that.
Now what?
Now the normies can no longer ignore what has been true for years and they stop obeying the laws.
Nothing overt – they don’t want to be jailed for decades on the charge of parading – but small stuff. Little things that add up. This is how a society falls apart.

This could be one scenario, but the most likely will be a repeat of the 2021 rallying cry ” Greatest threat to our democracy everrrr” and a total blockade against judicial intervention orchestrated to make this the new normal, that is until the WEF implementation of AI predictive elections.
If this does happen the Constitution is revoked, and all bets are off. By getting away with this in 2016, but not cheating hard enough, and again in 2020, but being too obvious they will advocate for a peaceful solution. In 2020 the movie “The Hunt” was delayed in release because it directly displayed the elites content for Joe Normal, I predict the upcoming predictive movie “Civil War” will also be delayed lest it make people start to wonder.
Any remedy will leave approximately half of Americans feeling betrayed by their government, either because they are forced to accept alphabet Mafia training, DIE inclusive hiring, and give up their property to the replacement serfs, or the alphabet Mafia gets told welcome out of the closet, now stay away from the the children, judgment based on content of character rather than skin tones, and securing the border, with deportations of foreign nationals, and loss of welfare support for said imported replacements.
No one solution will create a unified country again, without an external threat to make us forget our petty first world issues. Forgive the rant, typing as stream of consciousness while the coffee soaks in.

Before we escaped the Peoples’ Republic of Vermont, I would stretch a poly tarp over my car. This covered the windshield, side windows and the door locks. A couple of bungie cords kept it tight. Come out in the morning, or night, and pop it off and the ice/snow/frost came with it. No scraping, and especially no fumbling trying to get keys into frozen locks. (Yes, this was back in the Ice Age when I was a specialist in stone knives and bearskins.)

Biden is not the one running this country and the SecDef’s recent Houdini act should convince more of the public of this reality.

The implications of the Secretary of Defense ‘disappearing’ for nearly a week without (allegedly) the president knowing reveals a larger truth that the American public need to understand.

It should be pointed out that the current geopolitical situation in the world regarding global conflicts would require daily briefings between the president and his cabinet. Situational awareness and evolving conditions would prompt multiple meetings daily to stay current on these issues.

Between China, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, the Houthis, North Korea-hell, even the border crisis with its contingent of military assets being deployed would tell anyone with common sense that of all people the Secretary of Defense for our nation would be joined at the hip with the American president.

With them admitting that Biden didn’t know for nearly a week where his SecDef was, or his medical status is a damning indictment on the reality that he is an empty figurehead for the country, and not the Commander in Chief.

The bigger question is, who is running our government?

Yes, the bubble, the echochamber. “It must be true because we all say it is true”. Then they employ the device they created, Bureaucracy, to wear down any dissent. As Stanislaw Lem wrote in “The Cyberiad”, the Steelypips found out that the Big B can defeat almost anything.

That is why they so fear and despise Trump. He is not of the system. He hates the Big B and its inherent evil. He slashes through it to get work done. He knows what paralysis and evil is hidden in reams of ill-used and sometimes arcane regulations with the force of law and which were not voted upon by public or congress.

She is right, of course about some things. Why buy Bucks’ noxious fluids full of arcane ingredients for 7 bucks when, with a Mr Coffee and a can of Folgers or Maxwellhouse, you can make your own caffeine drink at home for a few pennies a cup? Why, outside of need when busy, buy a breakfast sandwich of a toasted English muffin, a fried egg and a sausage patty for $4 when you can make it at home for about 60 cents?

But she is wrong about most Americans not changing their spending habits. Most of us, including old, widowed farts with adequate income streams, are changing spending priorities. I don’t fly to Europe unless it is in the back of a C-17 or other military jet. Then only when tasked. I eschew fast food dining except when on the run around the first of the month when I get most of the monthly chores accomplished. I do admit Five Guys burgers are rather good, but don’t ask for a large fry as I did my first time.

Liberal WASP women, especially those who are lesbians or cannot attract and keep a man, have a very skewed viewpoint. Personally I believe boxed wine makers are diluting their already useless product with various hormones to ensure addiction and with hallucinogens to prevent them from seeing reality.

We may not have to wait. We may be pimp slapped by the Chinese, Iranians, Russians and NK working together. At the rate the youth is quite rightly refusing to enlist, our personnel shortages may prevent us from fighting in two places at once, let alone three or four. Say, the Red Sea and the Taiwan Straits, then Europe and the Levant. If Putin strikes for Poland or Romania or any other NATO member, even as a feint, we’d find ourselves stretched too thin with too few troops to do it all. The left is treasonous and purposely degrading our military. The single objective of the US military is to deter through intimidation. “Come get some!” If that fails we MUST prevail on the battlefield, whether air, space, land, water or cyber. The US military is expensive, but the most expensive thing is a second-rate military. To wit: we must get rid of wokeness and timeouts in training. We need tough sonsofbitches that will wade in and force the enemy to surrender or die. Throat stabbers. Our Secretary of Defense should be an R Lee Ermey sort. Our drill instructors/sergeants/chiefs should be profane, rough, demanding and not afraid to put a recruit in their place by a swift kick in the ass if necessary. Worked for me. Better to train them with stress than bury them because they could not handle stress. There are no time outs and no safe spaces in combat.

Guest Contributor – ArthurinCali – 21DEC2023 – Terminal Democracy

This feeling of late-stage Pax Americana can best be summed up with Heinlein’s thoughts on Democracy. The Polus is so stratified at this point that we are all going in different directions. A nation, as a group, cannot continue unified like this.

“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’

‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
