Realities of America \u2013 Part 1"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>After what we\u2019ve seen on display during the last four years it seems clear to me that the people in charge of the Democrat party have a stranglehold on almost all the levers of power that exist at the national level in the United States.\u00a0 And more than that, they control the majority of the power at the state and local level.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably easier to name the ones they don\u2019t control.\u00a0 The Republicans control the legislatures and state houses of about half the states and have a hair thin majority in the US Senate.\u00a0 That\u2019s it.\u00a0 Our side has almost none of the major media companies, corporations, universities, non-profits, professional societies, unions, banks, financial institutions, publishers or any of the departments of the bureaucracy that we call the Deep State.\u00a0 Even the Supreme Court that we supposedly have appointed by a six to three margin heaps defeat after defeat on us.\u00a0 We don\u2019t even control the capital cities of the states that we do hold.\u00a0 Basically, every city large enough to have a welfare population is controlled by the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a new situation.\u00a0 This has been the status quo for as long as there has been a United States.\u00a0 The descendants of the New England Puritans have been expanding and consolidating their control over the areas that they\u2019ve colonized since they got here in the seventeenth century.\u00a0 They control the Northeast, the Great Lakes region, The Pacific Coast and they\u2019ve been expanding off of those areas continuously.\u00a0 Now they\u2019ve reached down to Virginia in the east and the wretched Californians that ruined their own state are destroying Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and soon enough, the rest of the Mountain West.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve got a very effective model.\u00a0 It has nothing to do with freedom, equality or anything like that.\u00a0 It\u2019s strictly a matter of gaining control by power politics.\u00a0 They\u2019ll paper it over by claiming that they are fighting the evil racists or whatever bogeyman they\u2019ve concocted to bamboozle the simple-minded poor people they pay off for votes.\u00a0 But if buying votes isn\u2019t enough, they have perfected stealing elections by fabricating votes in urban districts.<\/p>\n<p>All of this has been on open display since Election Day.\u00a0 Unprecedented vote totals were unleashed in the early hours of November 4<sup>th<\/sup> as soon as it became clear that President Trump was going to win in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin.\u00a0 Not even a fig leaf was maintained that a fair election was going on.\u00a0 The Republican poll watchers were forced out and the trucks backed up to the buildings and poured in the bogus ballots by the hundreds of thousands.<\/p>\n<p>At this point in the process it\u2019s entirely possible that the Supreme Court will be so ashamed of allowing a presidential election be stolen in plain view that they will do something to stop it.\u00a0 I\u2019d say it\u2019s fifty-fifty.\u00a0 John Roberts is a worthless, spineless traitor so if we win it will be at best a 5-4 vote.\u00a0 But even if the President prevails and we get a four-year reprieve it is still necessary to look realistically at the way this country works and plan accordingly.\u00a0 And if the Supreme Court stabs us in the back again then we have two months to decide how we will deal with the facts on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>I think we have three choices. \u00a0<strong>Fold, flee or fight.<\/strong>\u00a0 Surrender to the hive, leave the areas under their control, or fight them.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m guessing it\u2019s not completely clear to anyone which of these choices is best.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s look first at Option 1, Fold.\u00a0 Think about it. \u00a0You know plenty of people who don\u2019t believe in the leftist madness but who have responsible positions in the corporate and government circles who have to spout the party line and burn incense to Baal.\u00a0 Their kids go to Yale and Columbia and they write their memos that pledge allegiance to diversity and inclusion and make sure they have a man in a dress working for them in the HR department.\u00a0 Sure, they have to choke back the cognitive dissonance when they say the things that are expected of them.\u00a0 But they get paid very well to do it. \u00a0They get all the perks that go along with membership in the lower ranks of the managerial elite.\u00a0 They live in safe neighborhoods; their kids go to the best schools and all the right doors get opened to them in all avenues of life. \u00a0They belong to the right clubs and organizations.\u00a0 They vacation on Martha\u2019s Vineyard or the Hamptons and they get invited to all the best parties and gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>I even know people who say they can keep up this charade while still protecting their kids from the madness that goes along with the propaganda and proselytizing that the sexual deviants that run our public schools practice.\u00a0 Maybe they can.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s possible to live inside the hive in complete disguise and maintain a normal life.\u00a0 If it is then my hat\u2019s off to these people.\u00a0 I don\u2019t seem to be able to do it.\u00a0 Listening to the proclamations from the Ministries of Peace, Truth and Love are just too much for my little brain to ignore.\u00a0 But I\u2019m not everyone.\u00a0 So, there are probably a bunch of people who will take the blue pill and get on with their lives inside the hive.<\/p>\n<p>How about Option 2, Flee.\u00a0 Let\u2019s define that a little bit.\u00a0 It could mean moving from a blue city to the surrounding rural areas of a red state.\u00a0 Or it could be moving from a blue state to a red state.\u00a0 Or it could mean leaving the country.\u00a0 All of these are calculations that a man has to make.\u00a0 Leaving a city is the easiest choice.\u00a0 It\u2019s a thing you\u2019d do even if the city wasn\u2019t a political prison.\u00a0 Lots of folks have always left cities in order to take advantage of the lower costs and property values associated with getting out of the crowded and expensive cities.\u00a0 But I can personally attest to the unsatisfying result of moving from a blue city to a blue state suburb.\u00a0 It will lessen your chances of suffering violent crime and give your kids half decent schools but that\u2019s about it.\u00a0 Now these first two choices end up with someone living in a red state.\u00a0 That is something.\u00a0 And if the state is deep red then you will notice a big change.\u00a0 Living in a place where you\u2019re still allowed to say what you really think and surrounded by mostly normal people is like a dream come true for a deplorable living in a blue state.\u00a0 And in such a place the schools will be much less destructive of normal ideas about the world.\u00a0 But even in red states you\u2019re going to deal with the realities of living in America.\u00a0 Affirmative action and all the other programs that take away the freedom of association and choice that we\u2019re supposed to enjoy is still the law of the land.\u00a0 So, the move isn\u2019t a cure for the American condition just a less serious case.\u00a0 And as the leftists tighten the screws through the courts and their corporate allies it will be less and less of an improvement.\u00a0 Now the only way to completely escape the leftists is to leave the country.\u00a0 But that brings up a separate predicament.\u00a0 Where exactly is it better than here?\u00a0 Moving to Canada or Australia or Europe is at best a mixed situation.\u00a0 None of those places have even the pretense of a bill of rights.\u00a0 And all of them are run by elites that have approximately the same program as our masters here.\u00a0 There may be some places that would be less oppressive like some of the eastern European countries but think of the dislocation you and your family would experience being a stranger in a strange land.\u00a0 But I know many people who are thinking of exactly this trade-off.<\/p>\n<p>And now we come to Option 3, Fight.\u00a0 But that\u2019s a long story and I\u2019ll keep that for Part 2.\u00a0 But I will say that the first two option are pretty awful for someone who believes in the ideals that America is supposed to represent.\u00a0 You could see why staying and fighting would be the option you would want to take.\u00a0 We\u2019ll talk about that next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After what we\u2019ve seen on display during the last four years it seems clear to me that the people
